CAPTAIN, THE HYDROPHONE'S PICKING UP A STRANGE SOURCE OF SOUND.

NO IDENTIFICATION.

COULD BE A PACK OF WHALES FEEDING ON PLANKTON, SIR. LET'S HEAR IT.

TAKE US DOWN ANOTHER 30 FATHOMS.

MANEUVERING, REDUCE SPEED TO FIVE KNOTS. DESCEND TO 200 FEET.

200 FEET. AYE, SIR.

- CONTROL ROOM. - YES, ADMIRAL.

- WHAT ARE WE INTO? - WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED IT YET.

OH. UH, HOW MUCH WATER BELOW US?

NINETY FEET.

ALL RIGHT, LEVEL OFF AND COME TO A FULL STOP.

- I'LL MEET YOU IN THE OBSERVATION NOSE. - AYE, SIR.

ANYTHING ON THE CHARTS?

THERE'S NO INDICATION OF ANYTHING ABNORMAL.

WELL, PERHAPS-- PERHAPS THIS HOLDS THE ANSWER. WHAT IS IT?

I'VE BEEN READING SOME OLD SEA LORE ABOUT THESE WATERS.

300 YEARS AGO, A FLEET OF BRITISH SHIPS...

WAS DESTROYED IN THIS AREA BY A GIGANTIC MAELSTROM.

THE SURVIVORS TOLD OF HEARING A STRANGE ROCK-LIKE SYMPHONY COMING UP FROM THE DEPTHS...

JUST BEFORE THEIR SHIPS WERE SUCKED DOWN.

THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF TALL SEA TALES LIKE THAT ONE.

I KNOW, BUT THERE'S OFTEN A HARD CORE OF FACT BURIED IN THESE OLD FABLES.

CAPTAIN, WE'RE GETTING A PRETTY STRANGE READING ON SONAR.

[ Beeping ]

HEAVY TURBULENCE APPROACHING, LEE.

ACTIVATE COLLISION SCREEN! AYE, SIR!

DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.

SEVERE RUPTURE IN THE STABILIZERS, SIR. REACTOR ROOM CIRCUITS ARE OUT.

HOW LONG FOR REPAIRS?

LOOKS LIKE AT LEAST A THREE-HOUR JOB, SIR.

[ Tapping ]

[ Tapping Continues ]

SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMING FROM OUT THERE.

UH, CLEAR THE SCREEN.

OPEN COLLISION SCREEN. AYE, SIR.

[ Tapping Continues ]

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE'D BETTER FIND OUT.

CHIEF SHARKEY, READY A DIVING PARTY...

TO GO OUT ON A SEARCH MISSION. AYE, AYE, SIR.

YEAH. HEY, RICH.

KOWALSKI, RICHARDS, GET IN YOUR DIVING GEAR ON THE DOUBLE.

WHAT'S THE POOP?

"WHAT'S THE POOP?" IS THAT THE WAY YOU ADDRESS A CHIEF PETTY OFFICER?

HEY, I'M ONLY KIDDING, SHARKEY.

RICHARDS IS A NEW MAN. CAN'T YOU TELL HIM IF THERE'S ANYTHING SPECIAL TO THIS MISSION?

- YOU THINK HE CAN'T HANDLE IT? - I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S READY FOR ANYTHING TRICKY.

- HE'D BETTER BE. YOU PASSED HIM ON HIS FROGMAN EXAM. - YEAH, BUT WHAT DOES THAT GOT--

- IT'S OKAY, SKI. I'M READY FOR ANYTHING OUT THERE. - HEAR THAT? HE'S RARIN' TO GO.

I HEAR. BUT THIS IS HIS FIRST TRIP, AND HE'S STILL A LITTLE GREEN.

WELL, THE ONLY WAY FOR HIM TO SHAPE UP IS TO GET OUT THERE AND TAKE WHATEVER COMES ALONG.

CHIEF'S RIGHT, SKI. I GOTTA GET MY FEET WET SOONER OR LATER.

YEAH, I GUESS SO. AW, COME ON, SHARKEY. TELL US WHAT THE SCORE IS.

KOWALSKI, WHEN THE CAPTAIN GETS HERE, HE'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

BUT I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE-- HERE.

GET IN YOUR DIVING GEAR BEFORE HE DOES GET HERE,

OR YOU WILL BE SWABBING THAT DECK FOR THE REST OF THIS TRIP.

I-IT LOOKED LIKE A CARICATURE OF A MAN MADE OF, UH-- MADE OF STONE.

BUT I-IT COULD HAVE BEEN SOME KIND OF A,

UH, GROTESQUE MARINE GROWTH.

- YOU, UH, BELIEVE THAT? - NO.

[ Sharkey On Speaker ] CAPTAIN, THE SPECIAL DIVING PARTY'S READY TO TAKE OFF.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. AYE, SIR.

[ Blows ]

OKAY, SKI. THANKS, CHIEF.

YOU ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI? YES, SIR.

- RICHARDS? - KOWALSKI CHECKED HIM OUT, SIR.

YES, SIR. TOP GRADE.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, I'M NOT SURE, BUT IT MAY BE ROUGH OUT THERE.

I CAN HANDLE IT, SIR. FINE.

THERE ARE TWO THINGS I WANT YOU TO CHECK ON.

FIRST, THE CAUSE OF THIS TURBULENCE,

AND ANY STRANGE ROCK FORMATION YOU MIGHT FIND.

- STRANGE ROCK FORMATION, SIR? HOW DO YOU MEAN? - I CAN'T BE MORE SPECIFIC.

BUT WE SPOTTED SOMETHING THROUGH THE OBSERVATION NOSE...

THAT LOOKED LIKE SOME KIND OF MOVING, FOSSILIZED ROCK GROWTH.

I GOT IT, SIR. WE REPORT ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT DOESN'T BELONG THERE.

THAT'S THE GENERAL IDEA.

STAY CLOSE TO KOWALSKI. DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

- YES, SIR. - OKAY, MEN, LET'S MOVE OUT.

THE RUDDER'S BEEN REPAIRED. WE SHOULD HAVE FULL POWER SHORTLY.

GOOD, GOOD.

AS SOON AS THE REACTOR'S BACK TO NORMAL, WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AROUND HERE.

I'D, UH-- I'D CERTAINLY LIKE TO KNOW IF I SAW WHAT I THINK I SAW.

[ Chuckling ] WELL, SO WOULD I, LEE.

SEEING ISN'T NECESSARILY BELIEVING, BUT, UH--

CAPTAIN, WE'RE PICKING UP THOSE WEIRD NOISES AGAIN.

BRING UP THE SOUND, PATTERSON.

[ Banging, Thumping ]

IT'S THE SAME AS BEFORE, ADMIRAL. UH-HUH.

WE'RE IN FOR TROUBLE. [ Banging, Thumping Continue ]

NOW HEAR THIS, ALL HANDS.

SECURE ALL LOOSE GEAR.

BRACE YOURSELVES FOR ANOTHER TIDAL ASSAULT.

YOU ALL RIGHT, PATTERSON?

YES, SIR. JUST SHAKEN UP A BIT.

THE SOUND IS GONE, LEE. M-MAYBE, UH--

- [ Alarm Bell Ringing ] - DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.

FIRE IN FRAME 74, SIR. A DETAIL IS ON ITS WAY.

VERY WELL. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. AYE, AYE, SIR.

- THE CIRCUITRY ROOM. - AH, IF THE MASTER CONTROL PANEL GOES--

[ Bell Continues Ringing ]

GET IN THERE AND SAVE THE MASTER CONTROL! ON THE DOUBLE!

[ Coughing ]

EASY. ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

COME ON. [ Coughing Continues ]

CAN'T SEE A THING. WE'LL HAVE TO SEAL OFF THIS SECTION AND FLOOD IT.

THERE'S ANOTHER MAN IN THERE!

ALL RIGHT, TAKE IT EASY. COME ON!

IT'S OUT, CHIEF.

HOW ARE THE MEN? THEY SWALLOWED SOME SMOKE, BUT THEY'RE BOTH OKAY NOW.

BOY, WHAT A MESS. HOW BAD IS IT?

WELL, SOME OF THE WIRES ARE SHORTED OUT. THAT'S THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE.

BUT LUCKILY THERE'S NO SERIOUS FIRE.

- IS IT OPERATIONAL? - COULD BE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

CHIEF, PUT A DETAIL ON THIS PANEL.

AYE, AYE, SKIPPER. I'LL HAVE IT LOOKING LIKE NEW IN A JIFFY.

[ Morton On Speaker ] CONTROL ROOM CALLING THE CAPTAIN.

- YES, CHIP. WHAT IS IT? - MISSILE ROOM REPORTS ONE DIVER RETURNING, ONE MISSING.

WE'RE ON OUR WAY. AYE, SIR.

WHAT HAPPENED, KOWALSKI? WHERE'S RICHARDS?

WE WERE SWIMMING ALONG, KEEPING CLOSE TOGETHER.

ALL OF A SUDDEN SOME GIANT BUBBLES HIT US.

I BATTLED MY WAY OUT AND LOOKED AROUND FOR RICHARDS, BUT HE DISAPPEARED.

- NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? - NO, SIR. HE JUST DISAPPEARED.

MAYBE HE PANICKED. IT'S HIS FIRST MISSION, SIR.

-DO YOU THINK HE LOST HIS NERVE? -NOT RICHARDS, SIR. I'D STAKE MY LIFE ON IT.

DID YOU HEAR ANYTHING? ANY STRANGE NOISES?

YES, SIR. A CLICKING KIND OF NOISE.

LIKE-- LIKE ROCKS HITTING TOGETHER.

- DID YOU SEE ANYTHING? - NO, SIR. I SWAM AROUND LOOKING FOR RICHARDS.

I-- I COULDN'T SPOT A THING.

THE TURBULENCE WRECKED MY RADIO, SO I FIGURED I'D BETTER GET BACK AND REPORT.

GET THE FLYING SUB READY. I'M GOING OUT TO LOOK FOR RICHARDS.

CHIEF, YOU COME WITH ME. AYE, SIR.

SIR, I'D LIKE TO GO BACK OUT AGAIN AND LOOK FOR RICHARDS.

GET BACK ON DUTY, KOWALSKI. WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE. AYE, SIR.

PREPARE THE FLYING SUB FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH.

AND SEND OUT ANOTHER DIVING PARTY TO LOOK FOR RICHARDS.

AYE, SIR.

NO SIGN OF HIM YET, SIR.

WELL, KEEP LOOKING, CHIEF. HE'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

STAY ON 'EM TIGHT, PATTERSON.

[ Man On Speaker ] CAPTAIN, RICHARDS IS BACK.

HOW IS HE? DOESN'T LOOK SO GOOD , SIR. HE'S PRETTY BEAT UP.

GET HIM DOWN TO SICK BAY. I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN. AYE, SIR.

SPARKS, PATCH ME THROUGH TO THE FLYING SUB.

SEAVIEW TO FS-1. SEAVIEW TO FS-1. COME IN, PLEASE.

WHAT IS IT, LEE? ADMIRAL, RICHARDS IS BACK ABOARD.

GOOD. GOOD. HOW IS HE?

I'M GOING DOWN TO THE SICK BAY TO CHECK HIM OUT. ALL RIGHT, KEEP ME INFORMED.

- I'M GONNA HAVE A LOOK AROUND OUT HERE. - AYE, SIR.

CHIP, KEEP A CLOSE TAB ON THE FLYING SUB.

WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE THEM NOW.

[ Banging, Thumping, Faint ]

- YOU HEAR ANYTHING? - I'M NOT QUITE SURE, SIR.

WELL, I'M GONNA HAVE ANOTHER SWING AROUND. TURN UP THE HYDROPHONE FULL.

[ Hydrophone: Banging, Thumping Continue ]

TURN IT DOWN!

LOOK THERE, SIR.

HMM.

THAT SEEMS TO BE THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND.

- FLYING SUB TO SEAVIEW. - WE READ YOU, ADMIRAL. GO AHEAD.

WE'VE LOCATED THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND. IT'S COMING FROM A CAVE.

WE'RE GOING IN TO EXPLORE, SO TRACK US ALL THE WAY.

AYE, AYE, SIR. WE HAVE YOU CLEAR AND SHARP.

[ Panting, Trembling ]

EASY. TAKE IT EASY. JUST RELAX. PLEASE--

ST-- STAY AWAY. EASY.

[ Coughing ] YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

[ Stammering, Groaning ]

WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM? APPARENTLY HE'S HAD SOME KIND OF TERRIBLE SHOCK.

SHOCK?

YES.

ALL I CAN MAKE OUT IS THAT HE WAS ATTACKED BY SOMETHING WEIRD, MONSTROUS.

WHAT'S THIS? RICHARDS WAS CLUTCHING THAT WHEN HE WAS BROUGHT IN HERE.

LOOKS LIKE, UH, SOME KIND OF...

FOSSILIZED GROWTH.

WE'LL ANALYZE IT LATER. I'D BETTER BRING THE ADMIRAL UP TO DATE.

LET ME KNOW WHEN HE WAKES UP.

HE MAY HAVE SOME ANSWERS. I'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED, CAPTAIN.

WE'RE PICKING UP SPEED.

STRONG UNDERWATER CURRENT.

ALL ENGINES ARE BACK FULL, BUT I STILL CAN'T HOLD IT. TURN ON EMERGENCY POWER.

IT'S JAMMED! I CAN'T GET IT LOOSE!

EMERGENCY POWER ON, SIR.

WELL, AT LEAST-- AT LEAST WE'RE HOLDING OUR OWN.

HOW COULD YOU LOSE 'EM, PATTERSON?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, SIR.

ONE MINUTE THEY WERE THERE, SHARP AND CLEAR, AND THEN NOTHING.

STAY WITH THEM. THEY GOTTA BE THERE SOMEWHERE. SOMETHING WRONG?

WE LOST CONTACT WITH THE ADMIRAL.

- WHAT HAPPENED? - DON'T KNOW.

OUR TRACKING CONTROLS INDICATE THE FLYING SUB MAY HAVE EXPLODED.

[ Coughs ]

YOU ALL RIGHT? DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, SIR. I-- OOH.

I'M-- I'M ALL MUSCLE. UH-HUH. GOOD.

YOU TRY TO CONTACT SEAVIEW. I'LL CHECK THE DAMAGE.

AYE, SIR.

FS-1 CALLING SEAVIEW.

COME IN, SEAVIEW.

CALLING SEAVIEW! FORGET IT, CHIEF.

HOW BAD, SIR? NOT TOO BAD. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF HERE.

YEAH, BUT, UH,

WHERE ARE WE?

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN SOME KIND OF UNDERWATER GROTTO.

LET'S BREAK OUT THE RAFT AND SEE, HUH?

COME ON. AYE, SIR.

LOVELY SPOT FOR A MASSACRE.

YEAH.

NOT MUCH CHANCE OF SURVIVAL AROUND HERE. I DON'T SEE A SIGN OF ANYTHING EDIBLE.

SIR?

LOOK AT THIS. FOUND IT BEHIND THE ROCK.

HMM. FLINTLOCK, HUH?

ABOUT 17th CENTURY, I'D SAY.

300 YEARS OLD. HOW DID IT GET HERE?

THE SAME WAY WE DID.

I, UH-- I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS, UH--

"IT WAS LOADED." THAT IS ONE OF THE SADDEST PHRASES.

OH, UH-- UH,

THE ROCK IS MOVING.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THE ROCK'S MOVING? THE ROCK-- IT'S MOVING.

ANY CONTACT? NOT A THING, SIR.

HOW'S RICHARDS? HE'S STILL UNCONSCIOUS.

DOC WILL CALL WHEN HE COMES AROUND.

I'VE GOT THE FEELING RICHARDS IS THE KEY TO WHATEVER'S HAPPENED TO THE ADMIRAL.

HOLD IT A MINUTE, CHIEF.

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK TO IT.

WE'RE HERE AS FRIENDS. YOU UNDERSTAND? FRIENDS.

PEACE! WE COME IN PEACE!

IT'S LIKE TALKING TO A BRICK WALL.

[ Gunshot ]

IT'S NO GOOD, SIR.

[ Gunshot ]

HOW YOU FEELING, BUDDY? HUH?

DOC SAID YOU HAD SOME KIND OF SHOCK. BUT YOU'RE OKAY NOW.

AREN'T YOU? SHOCK?

YEAH, SHOCK. SH--

I'M FINE. LEAVE ME ALONE.

OKAY. [ Grunts ]

GO AWAY. GO AWAY!

TAKE IT EASY. YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.

HEY, DOC, YOU'D BETTER TAKE A LOOK AT RICHARDS.

WHY? I CHECKED HIM THOROUGHLY BEFORE.

HE'S ACTING PECULIAR. MAYBE HE'S GOT A FEVER OR SOMETHING.

SURE. I'LL CHECK HIM IN A MINUTE OR TWO.

THANKS, DOC. I'LL GET BACK ON DUTY.

TELL HIM I'LL DROP BY TO SEE HIM LATER.

EASY.

EASY! TAKE IT EASY, RICHARDS!

TAKE IT EASY, BOY. EASY!

[ Tapping ]

YOU ARE SAFE. THEY WILL NOT HARM YOU WHILE I AM HERE.

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF.

CAPTAIN JACOB WREN OF THE SUBMARINE TROILUS...

AT YOUR SERVICE.

I'M ADMIRAL NELSON OF THE S.S.N.R.--

CAP-- CAPTAIN WREN?

BUT THE TROILUS WENT DOWN 30 YEARS AGO.

QUITE. I MANAGED TO SURVIVE, THANKS TO THE ROCK MEN.

OH. WELL, JUST WHAT ARE THEY, CAPTAIN?

THEY WERE JUST LIKE YOU AND ME ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILLION YEARS AGO.

YOU MEAN, THEY WERE HUMAN?

INDEED, BEFORE THEY WERE TRAPPED HERE BY A CATACLYSMIC ERUPTION.

STRANGE FORCES FROM THE MAGMA DEEP IN THE EARTH CHANGED THEM INTO WHAT YOU SEE NOW.

MUTANTS. EXACTLY.

AS I AM BECOMING, AS YOU TWO WILL BECOME,

IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY WITH US.

THANKS ANYWAY, BUT NO, THANKS. UH, WE GOTTA GET BACK TO THE SHIP. RIGHT, SIR?

RIGHT. WAIT.

YOU HAVE FREEDOM OF CHOICE. DID WE NOT ALLOW THE OTHER ONE TO RETURN?

- OH, YOU MEAN RICHARDS. - SO HE GAVE HIS NAME.

- WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM? - MERELY QUESTIONED HIM, ADMIRAL.

OUR PEOPLE ARE CURIOUS ABOUT MANY THINGS.

ESPECIALLY SUBMARINES THAT CAN TRAVEL TO THE SURFACE. [ Tapping ]

AH. YOU HAVE ARRIVED AT A PROPITIOUS MOMENT.

IF YOU WISH TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY FOSSIL PEOPLE, PLEASE ACCOMPANY ME.

WELL-- [ Grunts ]

THE HOUR OF THE RITUAL FIRE--

THE TIME WHEN, IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, OUR PEOPLE ARE BORN.

WATCH CLOSELY.

[ Tapping ]

WE HAVE BEEN WASHING OUT THE IMPURITIES OF THE HUMAN RACE.

AFTER THIS LAST IMMERSION, HE WILL BE LIKE THE OTHERS.

HE WILL SOON BE IMPERVIOUS TO THE ILLS OF THE FLESH.

THAT IS THE GIFT I OFFER YOU GENTLEMEN-- A FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

YOU PLAN TO DO THAT TO US, WHETHER WE WANT TO OR NOT. WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO IT? WHY?

WHY, ADMIRAL?

[ Tapping ] BECAUSE I, CAPTAIN JACOB WREN,

WILL LEAD MY PEOPLE BACK TO EARTH, TO THE PROMISED LAND.

WE SHALL TAKE OVER. IT IS OUR HERITAGE.

I NEED YOUR SUBMARINE, YOUR MEN, YOUR MISSILES.

WELL, YOU'LL NEVER GET THE SEAVIEW.

YOUR PROUD SUBMARINE LIES HELPLESS, DEFENSELESS OUT THERE,

READY TO BE TAKEN OVER AT MY COMMAND,

WITH ALL ITS SOPHISTICATED WEAPONRY.

- YOU CAN'T FIRE THOSE MISSILES. - OUR FIRING PROCEDURES ARE TOP SECRET.

YOU KNOW THAT, WREN. OF COURSE, ADMIRAL.

I ALSO KNOW THAT THE COMPLETE OPERATIONAL DATA IS SAFELY TUCKED AWAY IN YOUR CABIN.

- RICHARDS. - UH-HUH.

HAND ME A SCREWDRIVER.

RICH! STOP IT!

DAMAGE CONTROL--

SKIPPER!

HE'S IN THE CIRCUITRY ROOM. HE ATTACKED US. HE'S LIKE A MADMAN!

SLOW DOWN. WHO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

MY BUDDY, SIR. RICHARDS.

- WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? - I DON'T KNOW, SKIPPER. HE'S JUST GONE BERSERK.

WE'D BETTER GET TO HIM BEFORE HE BREAKS UP THE SHIP!

SPARKS, TAKE THE CONN!

HAVE YOU DECIDED TO JOIN US, ADMIRAL, HELP US RETURN TO THE SURFACE?

YOU CAN'T GO BACK THERE NOW. YOU'RE ALL MUTANTS. YOU'D DIE! NO, ADMIRAL.

WE ARE THE STRONG ONES, AND I SHALL RULE YOU ALL.

YOU BOTH WILL SOON TAKE YOUR FIRST DIP IN THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.

I SHALL ASSEMBLE THE COUNCIL.

[ Tapping ]

SIR? WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE, CHIEF.

RICHIE?

THAT IS RICHARDS?

COME AWAY FROM THAT PANEL.

COME ON, RICHARDS. YOU KNOW US.

TAKE IT EASY, RICH! TAKE IT EASY!

COME ON, BUDDY. LET'S GO BACK TO SICK BAY.

GO. COME ON.

GO. GO QUICKLY, WHILE YOU CAN.

COME ON, KOWALSKI. MOVE OUT.

CAN'T WE DO ANYTHING TO HELP HIM, SKIPPER?

HE'S PAST BEING HELPED. WE'VE GOT TO HELP OURSELVES BEFORE HE DESTROYS THE SHIP.

WHAT ABOUT EXPLOSIVES? IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.

GET A PORTABLE FORCE FIELD. RIGHT, SIR.

[ Banging ]

HEY, CHIEF, I GOT AN IDEA.

HMM?

KEEP HIM BUSY!

FIRE!

[ Beeping ]

IT HARDLY FAZED HIM.

WE'LL NEED SOMETHING STRONGER TO STOP HIM. THE SONIC MACHINE.

THAT WEAPON'S STILL IN THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE. IT COULD BLAST THE SEAVIEW APART.

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH CHOICE. HOLD HIM HERE.

RIGHT, SIR.

[ Splash ]

[ Both Coughing ]

COME ON, CHIEF. WE'RE NOT OUT OF THIS YET.

LET'S SHOVE OFF.

[ Growling ] OH! ADMIRAL!

THERE IS NO ESCAPE, ADMIRAL!

YOU SHALL SEE!

FULL EMERGENCY POWER! YES, SIR!

SIR, THEY'RE ON THE DIVING PLANES.

PLUG THE CONDUIT INTO THE POWER SYSTEM. MAYBE WE CAN SHOCK THEM OFF.

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE LEFT. WELL, WILL YOU TRY?

- HURRY IT UP, CHIEF. - OKAY, SIR, IT'S LINKED UP.

HANG ON!

IT'S TOO MUCH OF A GAMBLE. THOSE SOUND WAVES ARE STILL HIGHLY UNSTABLE.

I KNOW. BUT IF WE HIT THE RIGHT VIBRATION LEVEL, IT SHOULD KNOCK HIM OUT.

NOW, PUT THIS OVER THERE ON THE TOOL CHEST.

THE WRONG INTENSITY COULD EXPLODE THE HULL. I KNOW.

I'LL BRING IT UP VERY SLOWLY AND JUST HOPE FOR THE BEST. COME ON.

HERE GOES.

[ Click ]

[ Pulsating ]

[ Stops ] IT DOESN'T WORK.

[ Exhales ]

I'LL TURN IT UP HIGHER. FORGET IT. WE'LL TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

[ Pulsating Resumes ]

IT SHOULD WORK. [ Clicking ]

[ High-pitched Tone ]

[ Exhales ]

IT WORKS.

SKIPPER, I COULDN'T HOLD HIM.

HE SMASHED THE MACHINE AND HE'S HEADED FOR THE MISSILE ROOM.

NOW HEAR THIS.

ALL CREWMEN WILL AVOID THE CORRIDORS LEADING TO THE MISSILE ROOM.

AVOID ALL CORRIDORS IN MISSILE ROOM AREA.

DOG THE HATCH. QUICK.

[ High-pitched Tone ]

IS HE DEAD? I CAN'T TELL.

- CONTROL ROOM TO CAPTAIN. CONTROL ROOM TO CAPTAIN. - THIS IS THE CAPTAIN.

WE'VE PICKED UP THE FLYING SUB APPROACHING BERTHING AREA, SIR. CONFIRMED BY RADIO CONTACT.

WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

LET'S LOCK HIM IN THE STORAGE ROOM. COME ON.

KOWALSKI, STAND GUARD WITH THE SONIC MACHINE.

IF THERE'S ANY TROUBLE, CALL ME IN THE CONTROL ROOM. AYE, SIR.

WE THOUGHT YOU WERE LOST. WHAT HAPPENED? LATER.

HOW SOON TO GET UNDER WAY? ABOUT HALF AN HOUR.

IT MAY BE TOO LATE. TOO LATE FOR WHAT?

THE FOSSIL MEN BELOW US. THEY MAY NOT LET US GET UNDER WAY.

FOSSILS? THAT'S WHAT RICHARDS CHANGED INTO.

SOMETHING'S HAPPENED TO HIM. WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT SOMETHING IS.

BETTER HURRY REPAIRS BEFORE-- [ Banging, Thumping ]

SOUNDS LIKE THEY GOT HERE ALREADY. UNLESS IT'S RICHARDS.

WE'D BETTER FIND OUT. TAKE THE CONN, CHIP.

[ Banging, Thumping ]

[ Banging, Thumping Continue ]

THEN IT WASN'T RICHARDS. NO, SIR. HASN'T BEEN A PEEP OUT OF HIM.

[ Banging, Thumping Continue ]

THERE IT GOES AGAIN. THOSE ROCK MEN MUST BE ABOARD.

THE MISSILE ROOM. THEY COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THROUGH THE ESCAPE HATCH.

WE'LL SEAL OFF THE CORRIDORS. DON'T BOTHER, ADMIRAL.

KOWALSKI, THE SOUND MACHINE.

YOU SEE, ADMIRAL, THERE IS NO ESCAPE FOR YOU NOW.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SHALL NOW ALL BECOME.

[ Tapping ]

GENTLEMEN, I OFFER YOU ONE LAST CHANCE TO SURRENDER PEACEFULLY.

- OFFER REFUSED. - AS YOU WISH.

[ Tapping ]

LET'S TAKE 'EM, CHIEF.

[ High-frequency Tone ] HOW HIGH IS IT TUNED?

- 90,000 DECIBELS. - SET IT AT CRITICAL.

THAT'S 150,000 DECIBELS, SIR. YOU'LL BLOW THE SHIP APART.

CHIEF, YOU'VE SEEN THAT GROTTO. AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Tapping ]

[ Tapping ]

- NOW! - [ High-frequency Tone ]

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE UP? YOU KNOW YOU'RE BEATEN.

THE BATTLE'S ONLY BEGUN, ADMIRAL.

[ Tapping ]

GET HIM! [ High-frequency Tone ]

IT'S NO GOOD. GET PLASTIC EXPLOSIVES.

AYE, AYE, SIR. SKI. ALL RIGHT.

[ Tapping ]

[ Switches Clicking ]

WREN, LISTEN TO ME.

[ On Speaker ] YOU'RE NOT COMPLETELY FOSSILIZED YET.

WHY NOT GIVE UP? WE'LL SEE THAT YOU GET EVERY MEDICAL ATTENTION WE CAN.

FOR WHAT, ADMIRAL? TO CURE ME?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WISH TO BE CURED? THIS WAY, I CAN BECOME IMMORTAL.

WITH RICHARDS'S HELP, I'VE SET THESE MISSILES.

THEY'RE PROGRAMMED TO DESTROY YOUR COUNTRY.

TURN OVER THE SUBMARINE, OR I'LL FIRE THEM.

SOUNDS LIKE HE MEANS IT. HE DOES.

I'M WAITING FOR YOUR ANSWER, ADMIRAL. WHAT IS YOUR DECISION?

I'LL TRY TO STALL HIM. YOU TRY TO GET INTO THE MISSILE ROOM THROUGH THE AIR DUCTS.

KEEP HIM BUSY. MAYBE I CAN PULL THE TEETH ON THOSE TIMERS.

GET BACK OUT OF SIGHT WITH THAT SOUND MACHINE. AYE, SIR.

YOUR TIME IS UP, ADMIRAL. I'M GOING TO FIRE.

WAIT, WAIT.

IF I AGREE, EXACTLY WHAT ARE YOUR TERMS?

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

IF YOU WISH TO BE GIVEN YOUR ORDERS, YOU MAY COME IN HERE ALONE.

AGREED.

NOW, ADMIRAL, YOU WILL ESCORT RICHARDS TO THE CONTROL ROOM...

AND TURN THE OPERATION OF THE SEAVIEW OVER TO HIM.

AS SOON AS YOU SHUT DOWN THE TIMERS.

NOT SO FAST, ADMIRAL. DO AS I ASK FIRST.

BUT, UH, RICHARDS, UH--

RICHARDS ISN'T QUALIFIED TO OPERATE THE SEAVIEW.

NO FURTHER ARGUMENTS, ADMIRAL. GO!

KOWALSKI!

[ High-frequency Tone ]

YOU HAVE GAINED NOTHING BUT DEATH NOW, ADMIRAL.

I BROUGHT THE PENTATHOLATE. IT'LL WORK BEST ON THIS HATCH. ALL RIGHT, SET IT.

AYE, AYE, SIR. SKI, GIVE ME A HAND.

[ Thumping ] READY, SIR.

YOU ALL RIGHT, LEE? WHAT BLEW?

PROPULSION FUEL FROM THE LAST MISSILE. YOU DISARMED THE OTHERS.

WHERE'S WREN? HE WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE BLAST.

I DON'T KNOW HOW BADLY HE GOT IT.

[ Footsteps ]

I AM NOT ALONE, ADMIRAL! THE OTHERS ARE COMING! THEY WILL FOLLOW ME!

[ High-frequency Tone ]

CHIEF, PREPARE TORPEDOES FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH.

- I'M GOING TO CLOSE THAT GROTTO FOREVER. - AYE, AYE, SIR.

"THEN THE POUNDING CAME, THE TERRIBLE POUNDING,

"AS IF THE HEART OF SATAN HIMSELF WAS BEATING,

AN EVIL HYMNAL OF THE ROCKS AS A BAND OF DEVILS SOUNDED FROM THE DEEP."

AND THAT'S ALL.

I SUPPOSE THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDED LIKE TO THE SAILING MEN 300 YEARS AGO.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, LEE? THEY WEREN'T TOO FAR WRONG.
