Original subtitles

PATTERSON: Ski! I can't get these fires out!

KOWALSKI: Well, belay it then!

Lend me a hand with these dampening rods.

It's no good, Ski.

We can't get the reactor to stop from blowing.

Get on the horn again.

We gotta get some help down here, fast!

Red alert! Red alert!

Get those Damage Control boys down to the Reactor Room on the double!

She's going to blow any second!

PATTERSON: Red alert! Red alert!

We need help in the Reactor Room.

Emergency status. Emergency status!

Follow me.

Get them over there! I'll take care of the reactor.

(SHOUTING ORDERS INDISTINCTLY)

Shut down the power!

What do you think, Doc?

He's still in a deep coma.

Radiation shock?

That could account for it.

Only you don't think so.

Well, there's no doubt that he received a massive amount of rays

when he shut down the reactor.

So did Kowalski and Patterson,

but you were able to send them back to duty.

Let's just say the coma is much deeper than would seem warranted.

And this anti-radiation unit isn't helping.

So, what are you going to do about it?

When the knowledge in the medical books fails us,

we doctors have one final resort.

Yeah, I know. Wait and see what happens.

Exactly. In the meantime, he's in no immediate danger,

and they'll notify us if there's any change in his condition.

Let's check out the contamination in the Reactor Room.

(WARBLING)

Lee! Well, it's good to see you're feeling better.

Anything wrong? Nothing, Admiral.

Now, you should be in Sick Bay.

You're still in shock. Hold it.

Was there, um, anything you wanted to see me about?

Yes.

I've been thinking about you, Admiral. Very seriously.

Oh!

You're a hindrance to me. You're a stumbling block.

Well, I'm sorry, Lee. I, uh...

I didn't realize that.

You are, very definitely.

Well, why don't you tell me about it? Perhaps...

Perhaps there's something I can do.

There's nothing you can do.

I just have to remove you.

Oh, I'm sure that nothing as drastic as all that is necessary.

But it is.

There's nothing else I can do, you see.

(SIGHS) Absolutely nothing.

(NARRATOR READING)

NARRATOR: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Morning, sir.

Wonder what's eating him.

Admiral?

Admiral, what's the matter? What happened?

(STAMMERING) Control Room?

This is Chief Sharkey. Come in, please.

CHIP: Go ahead, Chief.

Is that you, Mr. Morton?

Right. What's on your mind?

Uh...

Could you please come down to the Admiral's cabin?

Please, sir.

Is there something wrong down there?

Yes, sir. Very wrong.

I think the Admiral's dead.

You said you saw Captain Crane leaving the cabin.

Yes, sir. What was that about a gun?

(STAMMERING)

He had one in his hands, a sidearm.

As he came out of the cabin?

Yes, sir. Did you say anything to him?

I think so, sir. Something...

Something about it being a good morning.

Then what did he do?

Nothing. He just acted as though I wasn't there

and moved off down the corridor.

Oh, no. No! Not the skipper.

He couldn't do anything like that.

It wouldn't be possible for him...

I'll have a Guard of Honor posted.

Chip?

What else can I do, Doc?

I'll have to arrest Lee Crane on suspicion of murder.

(DELIRIOUSLY) No, no.

I couldn't kill him.

(MOANING)

(SCREAMS)

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

Oh, my God.

I gotta find out.

It's no use, Captain. There's no use trying to call the Admiral.

You did kill him, you know.

Who are you?

Does it matter?

All that really concerns you

is that you deliberately murdered Admiral Nelson in cold blood.

No!

Who are you? It doesn't matter.

The deed is done.

Admiral Nelson died by your hands.

Even though it won't occur until tomorrow.

Tomorrow? You're not making sense.

Presumed realities of time and space are confusing only to those

who are not familiar with the fourth dimension.

The fourth dimension?

You will find, Captain, that only in this area

are you in a familiar time-space continuum.

Everything outside that door is in the world of tomorrow.

And it is in that world

that you killed Admiral Nelson.

No.

No, you're lying.

It's not true.

(WARBLING)

Is the Admiral still inside?

I'm talking to you, sailor. Is the Admiral's body still inside?

Answer me! Is the Admiral's...

Where is he? What have they done with him?

(SHOUTING) Why can't you answer me?

What have they done with the Admiral?

CHIP: (OVER PA) Now hear this.

The burial ceremony for Admiral Nelson is about to begin.

All work aboard Seaview will come to a halt.

There will be five minutes of silent prayer and meditation

by all members of the crew.

No. They can't bury him.

CHIP: "'I am the resurrection and the life, ' sayeth the Lord.

"'He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

"'And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.'

"We brought nothing into this world,

"and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

"The Lord gave, and the Lord taketh away."

Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Stop it!

I didn't kill him! I didn't!

Arrest him.

He's alive.

Ski, he's alive. I know he is. He's alive!

"According to the mighty working,

"whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself,

"we therefore commit this body to the deep."

Amen.

(SPLASHING)

Security detail,

you will take Captain Crane and place him in the brig.

Come along, sir. Ski, wait a minute.

Pat.

What's the matter with you men?

What's wrong with everybody aboard this ship?

You know I didn't kill the Admiral, don't you?

(SOFTLY) Don't you?

Come along, sir.

Let's go.

Halt, or I'll fire.

Stand right there.

(WARBLING)

(DOOR OPENING)

I was about to call you, sir, to report on Captain Crane.

Is there any change in his condition?

None at all. Still in a coma.

He hasn't moved a muscle since he was brought in.

Mmm-hmm.

You see? It's just as I told you. There's nothing we can do.

Look for yourself.

You sure there's nothing more to be done?

No results from this anti-radiation machine?

None.

The machine is new, but it's been thoroughly laboratory tested.

Mallory here's been completely checked out on its functions.

Oh, yes, Mallory.

The biology lab at the institute gives you an A1 send-off.

Thank you, sir.

I'd gladly give up the compliment if I could be of any help to Captain Crane.

Well, keep trying.

Admiral, the repairs on the reactor have been completed.

We're ready to proceed.

Good. Good, Chip. Head for Santa Barbara, flank speed.

Aye, aye, sir.

Do the best you can, Mallory. We'll be in the lab.

(WARBLING)

He's not here. Yeah.

Well, we'll find him. Come on.

Sir, we're ready to get underway.

Very well, Chief. Control to maneuvering.

MAN: Maneuvering, aye. Set course 270.

All ahead, one-third.

Bearing 270 relative, all ahead, one-third. Aye, sir.

Sir, excuse me. Yes, Chief.

About the skipper,

I think maybe we jumped to a wrong conclusion.

I'm not interested in what you think, Chief.

I'm now in command of the Seaview. You just follow my orders.

Aye, sir. Get down to Engineering

and make sure we don't have any further breakdowns during this cruise.

Aye, aye, sir.

LEE: Well done, Commander.

CHIP: Where did you come from?

Don't ask questions, Commander.

Now it's your turn to follow orders.

Take him!

(MACHINE GUN FIRING)

I wouldn't advise any more resistance.

I couldn't care less whether you live or die.

Change course, Commander.

Bearing 020 relative.

That'll take us directly away from Santa Barbara.

That's right. And all-ahead flank.

Move.

Maneuvering, this is the exec. MAN: Aye, sir.

Belay former course, make it 020.

Aye, sir. All-ahead flank.

All-ahead flank. Aye, sir.

Excellent, Commander.

Now, I suggest you all resume your duty posts until we arrive at our destination.

CHIP: And then?

I thought it was obvious to you by now.

You're all gonna die, of course.

(GROGGILY) You're gonna die, of course.

Gonna die, of course.

Going to die, of course... (GROANS SOFTLY)

Not the crew!

Not the crew. I can't kill...

(DELIRIOUSLY) I can't kill...

(GASPS)

I'm not wounded.

Of course not, Captain.

That won't happen till some future time.

(STAMMERING) What's happening to me now?

I think you have some idea.

The Control Room...

I, uh...

I seem to be doing something in the Control Room.

You will, Captain,

when the time comes.

Time? Tomorrow.

That's when you kill the Admiral, remember?

No.

Now you will take this submarine to an island I know of,

and you will kill the crew.

(SHUDDERS)

No.

And then, Captain Crane,

in a fourth-dimensional sphere in which time and space exist in a manner

which your weak mind could never comprehend,

the people of this world will serve me as slaves for all eternity.

No! (ROARING)

(WARBLING)

Chip? What's going on here?

What's your reading?

Picking up a strange bounce at about 5,000 yards, sir.

Can you scan it?

There's no clear definition. No, sir.

Keep trying.

(HISSING) Chip!

What's happening here?

I think sonar's picking up your destination.

I know it is, Commander.

We're coming to the end of the journey for all of you.

Chip, why don't you answer me?

(SHOUTING) What's happening here?

If we're going to die anyway, there's no reason to let you take us like this.

You prefer the gun?

Why not? What difference will it make to us?

You're lying, Commander.

As long as there's breath in your body,

as long as there's hope,

you won't choose death over the unknown.

Ski.

Ski!

What's going on here?

What's happening to all of us?

Intensity's increasing, sir, but there's still no clear definition.

Keep trying.

What's going on here?

Why don't any of you answer me?

There it is, Commander.

There's our destination.

Any minute now, Commander, we'll arrive,

and the death you wondered about will be here.

Activate collision doors.

Close them!

(WEAKLY) Stop it. You've got to stop it.

Stop it.

(GROANING WEAKLY) Stop it.

Stop it.

Chief. Stay there.

I'm warning you, skipper, you stay right there.

Where is everybody? What's happening?

I just came up from Engineering, and found it this way.

So maybe you better tell me.

(PANTING GROGGILY)

Put that gun away... Skipper.

Hold it!

I can't do it. No matter what you've done, I can't do it.

Thanks, Chief, but I haven't done anything.

Haven't done anything? Man, oh, man.

You just killed the Admiral, that's all you did!

And for all I know, you're responsible for all this!

No, no. Not for this, or the Admiral. Not yet.

Chief, have you ever heard of the fourth dimension?

Fourth? Yes.

Yes, sir. I guess so, yes.

Do you know what it is? No, sir, I don't!

I'm not sure anyone else knows what it is either.

Except that it could be some sort of a different space and time

that we don't know about.

Different space and time?

I think the Admiral was killed in it,

the crew disappeared in it, and we're living in it right now.

The only thing is, it hasn't all happened yet!

Yes, maybe it hasn't.

But until it does, don't you think I ought to take you down to Sick Bay

and have the doc give you a pill, or something?

I don't need a pill.

Look out there.

Well, there's nothing out there. Nothing but blackness.

But there should be water! Light refraction! Something!

Chief.

Is Sick Bay right outside that hatchway?

(INCREDULOUSLY) What are you talking about?

There's a corridor leading to the sea deck.

Then how did I enter this Control Room right directly through the Sick Bay door?

Well, so what is the answer?

There's a corpsman named Mallory.

He's got a machine aboard that can throw everything into the fourth dimension.

It's responsible for everything that's happened.

Where is it? It's in Sick Bay.

We've got to destroy it.

Are you with me?

What are we waiting for? (SIGHS IN RELIEF)

Look out, skipper!

Fourth dimension, huh?

A tidal wave in the sea deck corridor.

How do you fight something like that?

We look for another way out. Come on.

Sir, even if we get up there,

there's security guards patrolling the corridors, looking for you.

If they're still aboard.

(RUMBLING)

(RUMBLING CONTINUES)

It's getting rough, skipper.

There must be a way out. We just have to find it.

Yeah. We could try topside.

Yeah, it's either that, or the Flying Sub.

You check topside. I'll test the Flying Sub.

Aye, sir.

Chief, are you all right? No permanent damage, sir.

But, man, there's a fire up there big enough

to make the San Francisco thing look like a piece of kindling.

All right.

You better give me a hand with this.

Careful, skipper.

There's no telling what's liable to come out of there.

Let's go.

What do you think?

(SIGHS) I think we've been herded here.

What?

Our friend Mallory, he could want us to take the Flying Sub out.

That's why all the other exits are blocked.

Well, do we go along with it?

Do we have a choice?

(HATCH CLOSING)

Looks like she's ready to go.

Yeah. Question is, to where?

All right. You ready to launch?

(ENGINES POWERING UP)

Ready, sir.

Launch.

(WARBLING)

What's happening, sir?

I don't know. But hang on.

(SHOUTING) Chief?

Chief!

Welcome aboard, Captain.

If you hadn't damaged my space-time unit while escaping from Sick Bay,

I would've been able to greet you directly upon arrival.

All right, Mallory.

You brought me here.

Wherever we are.

And I imagine the rest of the crew is around here somewhere, too.

That's true.

What do you hope to accomplish now?

What are you gonna do with all of us?

Well, I'm experimenting, Captain.

I have my fourth dimension unit, but I'm...

I'm not certain, as yet, exactly how powerful it is,

what its limitations and its abilities are.

So, that's what this is all about.

You're using us as guinea pigs.

You're testing 125 men and the Seaview

to satisfy your own personal curiosity.

That would be a fair statement, yes.

But why on us? Why on human beings? With a discovery like that,

you could get the backing of every major power in the world.

And give up what I now possess entirely alone?

No, Captain.

This way, when I've discovered exactly what I can do with it,

the world will come to me.

I'll be the one in power.

A man who wants to play God.

Why not? Wouldn't you do it if you were in my place? Wouldn't anyone?

No, Mallory, not anyone.

Doesn't matter, Captain.

You're here, and the next phase of my experiment is about to begin.

What's it to be now?

An attempt to see if the human mind can outwit my machine.

You're in the jungle.

You have no weapons, no sense of direction,

you're in a maze.

If you say so.

But there's death all around you, Captain.

Behind every bush and every tree, along every footpath.

And you can throw out your usual book of rules.

My machines erased them.

Problem's a simple one.

Get out alive.

I'd say it was a rather interesting experiment, wouldn't you?

(ROARING)

(CREATURE ROARING)

(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

(MANIACAL LAUGHING CONTINUES)

(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

(WARBLING)

(GRUNTING)

(GUN COCKING)

Hold it right there.

Chip. You seem surprised to see us.

That's the understatement of the year. I thought you were all dead.

We know that.

But we don't know why, or what caused you to turn into a mad killer.

Mad killer?

Whatever it was, we propose to put an end to it right now.

I haven't killed anyone.

You killed the Admiral, and you shot down two of my buddies

in cold blood in the Control Room.

No. No, Ski, you're wrong.

You can't lie out of it. We all saw you do it.

What are we waiting for, Mr. Morton?

Let's execute him now and get it over with.

We will. I want to hear what he has to say first.

What can I say?

You ought to know it wasn't me who committed those murders!

Then who was it?

Somebody, something from the fourth dimension!

(DOUBTFULLY) The fourth dimension?

That's right, Chip.

There's a machine aboard Seaview. Mallory made it.

The corpsman, Mallory!

He's using it right now to move us around in space and time.

He's experimenting with lives, Chip!

He's the one who's the mad killer, not me!

You don't believe me, do you?

No.

Prepare for execution.

Ready? (MACHINE GUN FIRING)

(MACHINE GUN FIRING)

Get out of there, skipper.

Come on, let's go! Where?

Where I got this, on the Flying Sub. Come on!

That way.

Flying Sub.

(GUNSHOT)

Chief! Come on.

(EXHALES)

You're doing well, Captain.

Very well.

You didn't expect me to survive this long, did you?

Frankly, no.

You surprised me when you chose to jump over the imaginary cliff

rather than face the more real danger.

The other Lee Crane, he was a killer.

It was the lesser of the evils.

Yes. The fourth dimension unit created him.

He is what you might have become in another time, another space.

Oh, no.

He's only what your warped mind's idea of the other Lee Crane might be.

It doesn't matter.

He already exists in the future.

He has already killed,

and he will kill again.

What about me?

What happens to the Lee Crane of today?

Of this world?

Of the solid, sane third dimension?

You will die here with the others.

Where's here?

See for yourself.

An island located in the fourth dimension,

floating in an endless sea of changing time and space.

I first built my machine here, conducted my experiments.

And now, where I will destroy you

and the others of the Seaview who are aware of them.

You have nine minutes to live.

What's that? Call it a death clock.

Who's to say whether time moves forwards or backwards

as death approaches?

You have a little more than eight minutes.

At that time, this island will disintegrate into atoms.

And what about you?

Well, surely, Captain, you've guessed.

I'm not even here.

I'm where it's still yesterday.

Back onboard the Seaview, in the Sick Bay.

(GENTLY) Chief. (GROANS WEAKLY)

(WEAKLY) Skipper?

Yeah, listen. Can you manage to move? Can you get about a little?

I think so. Okay, good. Come on, try.

That's it. Come on.

Now, you've got to help me get the Flying Sub out of here.

Is she operable, sir?

I think so. Mallory may know about fourth dimensions,

but the Flying Sub's my baby. Can you manage the controls?

I think so, sir. All right.

I don't get it, sir.

(STAMMERING) What happened to us?

I think we were hit by an electromagnetic field

when we tried to launch it from the Seaview.

It's a side-effect of the fourth dimension unit.

Even if you're right,

all our main propulsion circuits must be blown.

They are.

(SIGHS) Or maybe I can jump the circuits with a 135 T-bar.

SHARKEY: A 13...

That's like putting a penny in a fuse box loaded with 10,000 volts.

We'll be blown sky high.

Well, we've got three minutes to find out.

Prepare for takeoff. Aye, sir.

(ENGINES POWERING UP)

Ready.

Take off.

Think we'll make it, sir?

Hold on.

We made it, sir.

No, Chief, I'm afraid we haven't.

At least we managed to get off, sir.

But that island's gone, and all our men with it.

We still might be able to save them,

and the Admiral.

How's that, sir?

If we can get back to Seaview, and yesterday.

Just like we left it.

Finding our way back hasn't helped any.

It's still yesterday in Sick Bay, Chief.

If you say so, sir.

But there's no way out of here except the Flying Sub, remember?

I'm not so sure.

(STAMMERING) A grenade?

It'll take one to make sure that machine's destroyed.

It could blow up Seaview.

At least we'll die in our own world.

Now wait here, I'm going through.

For God's... Sir, there's a tidal wave out there!

I have to go out!

Don't!

DOCTOR: Nothing wrong with him that a good tour of duty wouldn't cure.

Well, that's good to hear.

Physically, he might be all right,

but I'm not so sure about him mentally.

That fourth dimension yarn that he...

You know, Admiral, my feelings could be hurt.

Except, I never listen to a man who's been murdered and buried at sea.

That Mallory.

He was brilliant, all right, but a little bit mad at the same time.

I wonder whatever happened to him after you destroyed that thing.

I don't know. But there's one thing I'm thankful for.

Mmm? What's that?

Wherever he is,

that world of tomorrow that he planned for us will never happen.

All right, Captain, you heard the doctor's prescription.

Another tour of duty for you.
