ABANDON SHIP!

ABANDON SHIP! ABANDON SHIP! WHAT ABOUT THE TREASURE, CAPTAIN?

IF WE CAN'T HAVE IT, NEITHER SHALL THEY.

IT'LL GO DOWN WITH ME AND THE SHIP.

A POX ON THE TREASURE! A POX ON IT!

DEATH TO THOSE WHO TRY TO GET IT FROM US!

A CURSE ON IT! A CURSE FOR A THOUSAND TIMES A THOUSAND--

A CURSE ON THE TREASURE!

A CURSE!

THOUSAND TIMES A THOUSAND YEARS!

INSPECTION TEAM THREE, RIGHT?

YOU CHECK OUT OUR INTERCONTINENTAL DEFENSE WEAPON 147.

IT LIES APPROXIMATELY A THOUSAND YARDS, UH, DUE EAST.

RIGHT? UH-HUH.

NOW, TEAM FOUR, YOU BACKTRACK THE CABLE TO SECTOR "H."

MAKE CERTAIN THERE'S NO ABRASION FROM UNDERWATER ROCK FORMATIONS. VERY IMPORTANT.

ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY, CAPTAIN BRENT?

MERELY A WORD OF CAUTION.

THIS AREA IS A GRAVEYARD FOR ANCIENT PIRATE TREASURE SHIPS.

[ Chuckles ] WELL, THE CAPTAIN'S RIGHT, GENTLEMEN.

NOW IF YOU HAPPEN UPON ANY OLD SPANISH GOLD DOUBLOONS, DON'T PICK THEM UP.

[ All Laughing ] NO, NO, NO, NO.

TAKE-- TAKE THE ADMIRAL SERIOUSLY. THERE'S A CURSE ON THEM.

IT WOULD BE TRAGIC IF SOME OF YOU MEN WERE KILLED...

BECAUSE OF AN ANCIENT PIRATE CURSE.

[ Man ] VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[ Tapping ]

[ Man ] INSPECTION TEAM THREE REPORTING IN.

ALL RIGHT, TRANSMIT.

INTERCONTINENTAL DEFENSE WEAPON 147 LOCATED AND INSPECTED. TESTING OUT OPERATIONAL.

UH, WHAT ABOUT TELEMETRY AND THE FIRING CABLE? ALL A-OKAY, SIR.

VERY WELL. RETURN TO SEAVIEW. AYE, SIR.

OH, BY THE WAY, ADMIRAL, YOU WERE RIGHT.

[ Nelson ] WHAT ABOUT? THERE BEING PIRATE TREASURE AROUND HERE.

WE FOUND AN OLD SPANISH GOLD DOUBLOON. SHALL WE LEAVE IT, SIR?

PRIOR ORDER COUNTERMANDED. YOU CAN BRING IT ABOARD AS A SOUVENIR.

AYE, SIR.

WELL, ANOTHER SATISFACTORY INSPECTION, GENTLEMEN.

CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE IT, ADMIRAL. PERHAPS SO.

YOU HAVE RESERVATIONS, CAPTAIN?

ABOUT THE FINDING OF THAT SPANISH DOUBLOON, YES.

WELL, YOU DON'T TAKE THAT OLD PIRATE CURSE SERIOUSLY, DO YOU?

WHY NOT? I'VE KNOWN SAILORS TO BE SUPERSTITIOUS.

BUT YOU, A TECHNICAL ADVISER SENT ABOARD BY THE ALLIED HIGH COMMAND?

SUPERSTITION, MY DEAR CAPTAIN, IS OFTEN BORN IN FACT.

I TRUST, IN THIS CASE, I'M WRONG.

[ Electronic Warbling ]

[ Explosion ]

- DAMAGE CONTROL. - [ Man On Speaker ] DAMAGE CONTROL, AYE.

WHAT'S OUR STATUS? MINOR HULL STRAIN-- FRAMES 32 AND 51.

WE'LL SHORE BULKHEADS AND SEAL THE LEAKAGE.

WHAT'S OUR POWER SITUATION? MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKERS SHORTED OUT.

FULL POWER WILL BE RESTORED SHORTLY. [ Clicks ]

SPARKS, TRY TO RAISE INSPECTION TEAM THREE.

[ Sparks ] AYE, SIR.

IT WAS DEFENSE WEAPON 147 THAT WENT OFF.

THE PROPELLANT FUEL ONLY, NOT THE WARHEAD.

OTHERWISE, WE WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE DISCUSSING IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY SUPERSTITION NOW, ADMIRAL?

AT THE MOMENT, I'M THINKING OF TWO MEN WHO ARE PROBABLY DEAD.

DO YOU THINK THE INSTRUMENTATION BROKE DOWN? WELL, I-- I DOUBT IT.

WHY NOT? THERE'S NO PROOF TO THE CONTRARY.

BECAUSE THE INSPECTION CREW CHECKED IT OUT AS A-OKAY. THERE'S NO PROOF!

FORGIVE ME, ADMIRAL.

THE TESTING INSTRUMENTS-- THEY MAY HAVE BEEN FAULTY.

THE CABLE MAY ACCIDENTLY HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED UNDER THE IMPULSE OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD.

THERE'S NOT A CHANCE. THE ACTIVATING EQUIPMENT WAS CHECKED FOR JUST THAT POSSIBILITY.

THEN WE'RE BACK TO THE SPANISH DOUBLOON AND THE PIRATE'S CURSE, AREN'T WE?

I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT AS BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF MY MEN.

THIS IS SPARKS, SIR. NO RESPONSE TO ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT INSPECTION TEAM THREE.

ALL RIGHT, SPARKS.

USE THE TV MONITORS TO SCOUR THE AREA. SEE IF YOU CAN PICK THEM UP.

YES, SIR. AND THERE'S A VIDEO CALL COMING IN FROM ADMIRAL HOWARD, 11th FLEET.

I'LL TAKE IT IN THE OBSERVATION NOSE. AYE, SIR.

HARRY, WHAT THE DEVIL HAPPENED TO NUMBER 147?

WELL, ALL I KNOW RIGHT NOW IS THAT HER PROPELLANT BLEW.

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE TESTING OUR DEFENSE SYSTEM IN THAT SECTOR. DIDN'T YOU CHECK IT OUT?

OUR INSPECTION CREW REPORTED IT SAFE AND OPERABLE. BUT SHE STILL BLEW.

IN SIX HOURS, ONE CABLE WILL CONNECT 275 INTERCONTINENTAL DEFENSE WEAPONS.

274, IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PREMATURE EXPLOSIONS.

[ Howard ] SEE TO IT THAT WE DON'T. FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

MALFUNCTION, SABOTAGE, DEFECTIVE TELEMETRY, WHATEVER.

WILL DO.

LEE, YOU HEARD THE ADMIRAL. [ Crane ] AYE, SIR.

NOW HEAR THIS. ALL DIVERS, MINI-SUB CREWS AND LAUNCH TECHNICIANS...

LAY AFT TO THE MISSILE ROOM ON THE DOUBLE.

REPEAT. ALL DIVERS, MINI-SUB CREWS AND LAUNCH TECHNICIANS...

LAY AFT TO THE MISSILE ROOM ON THE DOUBLE.

THE MINI-SUB-- OBVIOUSLY A WET SUBMARINE. THAT'S RIGHT, CAPTAIN.

SUCH A SMALL CRAFT. ONE WOULD ASSUME THAT, UH,

IT WOULD HAVE A LIMITED CRUISING RANGE. NOT SO BAD.

SHE CARRIES ENOUGH FUEL TO MAKE ABOUT 500 NAUTICAL MILES.

[ Brent ] OH.

CAPTAIN, THIS IS MORTON. MINI-SUB READY TO LAUNCH AT... 0900.

HOW MANY KNOTS CAN SHE MAKE? WHAT?

THE MINI-SUB. WHAT IS HER CRUISING SPEED?

YOU'RE GETTING INTO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, CAPTAIN BRENT.

[ Crane ] HOLD THE MINI-SUB LAUNCH, CHIP. LET'S SEND THE DIVERS OUT.

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

SORRY, BUT WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO.

IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE ASK FOR THE ADMIRAL.

OF COURSE. HOW STUPID OF ME. UH, I APOLOGIZE IF I'VE BEEN INCONVENIENT TO YOU.

KOWALSKI, STAND BY THE AIR LOCK. ALLEN, LEND THE DIVERS A HAND. AYE, SIR.

YOU ALL KNOW WHAT OUR JOB IS.

YOU'VE ALL BEEN BRIEFED ON THE DEFENSE WEAPON LOCATIONS, THE SECTORS INVOLVED.

YOU GO OUT IN TEAMS.

AFTER WHAT HAPPENED TO INSPECTION TEAM THREE A WHILE AGO,

I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE YOU ANY ADDITIONAL CAUTION.

ALL RIGHT, FIRST TEAM.

YOU'LL COVER SECTORS "K" AND "L." CHECK THEM OUT THOROUGHLY AND KEEP IN TOUCH.

SECOND TEAM.

HENDERSON. YES, SIR?

CHECK WITH ELECTRICAL STORES.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE AN ELECTRONIC BEAM DETECTOR ALONG WITH YOU.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

[ Grunts ]

YOU RECHECK THE AREA WHERE 147 WENT UP.

IF YOU FIND ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL, DON'T TOUCH IT.

JUST REPORT BACK HERE ON THE DOUBLE.

RELEASE DIVERS. [ Air Hissing ]

OH, WHERE'S HENDERSON? HASN'T HE COME BACK YET?

I DON'T KNOW, SIR. I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE HOLDING HIM UP. HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE FIVE MINUTES AGO.

WHERE'VE YOU BEEN, HENDERSON? COME ON, WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO.

[ Crane ] NOW KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED.

IF THAT GADGET REGISTERS ANYTHING AT ALL, GET ON THE HORN FAST. YOU GOT IT?

LAUNCH MINI-SUB. AYE, AYE, SIR.

ANYTHING MORE?

ALL RIGHT, GET OUT OF THE HEAVY STUFF.

ALLEN, GIVE THEM A HAND, WILL YOU?

LAST TWO DIVERS ARE IN, SIR. THEY HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TO THEIR RADIOED REPORTS.

THERE'S NOTHING OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI. SECURE THE DIVING MISSION.

SIR. HMM?

I HAVE A REQUEST I'D LIKE TO MAKE. GO AHEAD.

WELL, THOSE MEN ON INSPECTION TEAM THREE, SIR-- THEY WERE A COUPLE OF MY BUDDIES.

SO IF THERE'S ANY FURTHER SPECIAL DUTIES INVOLVED, SIR, I'D LIKE TO BE ASSIGNED TO IT.

I GUESS WE ALL WOULD, KOWALSKI. I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. THANKS, SIR.

OKAY, BOYS, REPORT TO SICK BAY FOR PHYSICAL CHECKOUT.

ADMIRAL? HMM.

HERE ARE SOME, UH, PRELIMINARY REPORTS FROM THE DIVERS.

THERE'S NOTHING.

NOTHING TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT WEAPON GOING OFF AS IT DID.

WELL, MAYBE IT WAS SOME WIRING DEFECT OR MALFUNCTION.

NO, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, LEE. I-- I CAN'T AFFORD TO BELIEVE IT.

IN FIVE HOURS, 274 LETHAL WEAPONS...

ARE GOING TO BE LINKED BY CABLE OUT THERE.

NOW WHAT HAPPENS IF WE ACCEPT THIS AS A MALFUNCTION...

AND THE WARHEADS START TO BLOW IN A CHAIN REACTION?

WELL, THERE'S ALWAYS, UH, CAPTAIN BRENT'S THEORY OF A PIRATE'S CURSE.

OH, I DON'T THINK EVEN CAPTAIN BRENT BELIEVED THAT.

CAPTAIN, THIS IS THE EXEC. COULD YOU REPORT AT ONCE TO CORRIDOR "B"?

THIS IS AN EMERGENCY. URGENT.

BE RIGHT THERE, CHIP.

WHAT HAPPENED? HENDERSON WAS FOUND INSIDE. SEEMS BADLY HURT, SIR.

HENDERSON? GET HIM TO SICK BAY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S HAVE IT.

HENDERSON WAS ONE OF THE TWO MEN ASSIGNED TO THE MINI-SUB.

WELL, HOW MANY MEN LEFT? TWO.

AND HENDERSON'S WET SUIT IS GONE.

WHERE IS CAPTAIN BRENT? I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS IN THE MISSILE ROOM.

HE WAS WATCHING THE MINI-SUB BEING PREPARED FOR LAUNCH.

BETTER CHECK HIS CABIN.

CAPTAIN BRENT?

THE MINI-SUB'S BEEN GONE FOR THREE HOURS, AND NO REPORT FROM HER.

NOW WHY SHOULD THAT GIVE ME A FEELING THAT I'M SITTING ON A BOMB READY TO GO OFF?

WELL, YOU ARE. 274 OF THEM, ALL CONNECTED TO ONE CABLE...

AND ALL READY TO BECOME OPERATIONAL IN TWO HOURS.

[ Knocking ]

THIS JUST CAME IN FOR YOU, SIR, FROM ALLIED HIGH COMMAND. THANKS.

OH, IT'S THEIR REPLY TO OUR QUESTION ABOUT BRENT.

"EXCELLENT CHARACTER. HIGHLY QUALIFIED AS ELECTRONIC FORCE FIELD ENGINEER.

"IMPECCABLE FAMILY BACKGROUND FOR GENERATIONS.

ONLY EXCEPTION-- ONE ANCESTOR WHO WAS A BUCCANEER IN THE 16th CENTURY."

CAPTAIN, THIS IS SPARKS.

I THINK THE MINI-SUB IS TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO US.

HOLD ONTO THEM. I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

SEAVIEW TO MINI-SUB. SEAVIEW TO MINI-SUB.

COME IN, PLEASE. COME IN. SEAVIEW TO MINI-SUB. SEAVIEW TO MINI-SUB.

THEY WERE ON A MINUTE AGO, SIR, FAINT AND A LITTLE GARBLED,

BUT IT WAS THE MINI-SUB BEYOND ANY-- [ Brent ] TREASURE SHIPS.

TREASURE SHIPS. THEY'RE COMING IN AGAIN, SIR.

CAN YOU HEAR ME, SEAVIEW? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

NOTHING DOWN HERE BUT ANCIENT TREASURE SHIPS.

OCEAN'S FILLED WITH 'EM. CAN YOU HEAR ME? COME IN. COME IN. CAN YOU HEAR ME, SEAVIEW?

THAT'S CAPTAIN BRENT. CAPTAIN, THIS IS ADMIRAL NELSON. DO YOU READ ME?

I READ YOU. I READ YOU, ADMIRAL NELSON.

THE WHOLE SEA, ALL FILLED WITH SUNKEN TREASURE SHIPS.

HUNDREDS OF THEM. ADMIRAL NELSON, CAN YOU READ ME?

GOLD. DOUBLOONS.

SPANISH DOUBLOONS. THE WHOLE SEA IS COVERED WITH THEM.

CAPTAIN, WILL YOU STOP THAT BABBLING AND LISTEN TO ME? WAIT.

SEAVIEW. SEAVIEW, THERE'S SOMETHING OUT THERE.

IT'S COMING TOWARD US.

IT'S GOING TO HIT US! GO BACK! GO BACK! GO BACK THERE! GO BACK!

[ Explosion ] AN EXPLOSION-- A BIG ONE.

RIG FOR UNDERWATER EXPLOSION.

RIG FOR UNDERWATER EXPLOSION. MAN ALL EMERGENCY STATIONS. MAN ALL EMERGENCY STATIONS.

TAKE A SEISMOGRAPH READING. THE DIRECTION AND BEARING OF THE SHOCK WAVE.

- AYE, AYE, SIR. - [ Klaxon Blaring ]

SECURE EMERGENCY STATIONS. SECURE EMERGENCY STATIONS. ALL NORMAL.

WHAT'S THE READING? I MAKE THE BEARING 2-4-3 DEGREES, SIR.

ESTIMATED DISTANCE: 40 TO 45 MILES.

ARE YOU SURE OF THAT DISTANCE? YES, SIR. NO MISTAKE.

LET'S MARK IT OUT, LEE.

WELL, THAT'S WHERE THE MINI-SUB BLEW.

THERE ARE NO DEFENSE WEAPONS IN THAT AREA. WHAT WOULD BRENT BE DOING OUT THERE?

AND WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS.

BUT ONLY TWO OF MANY INVOLVING CAPTAIN BRENT.

INCLUDING TREASURE SHIPS, SPANISH DOUBLOONS AND ANCIENT PIRATE CURSES.

YEAH. NOT TO MENTION THE UNEXPLAINED DESTRUCTION OF DEFENSE WEAPON 147.

LOOK, LEE.

THAT'S ISLE DU MORT-- THE ISLAND OF DEATH.

IT'S THE ONLY PIECE OF LAND FOR HUNDREDS OF MILES AROUND.

THAT'S ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE EXPLOSION.

ALSO VERY WELL KNOWN IN THE 16th CENTURY AS A PIRATE HANGOUT.

THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. PREPARE THE FLYING SUB FOR IMMEDIATE LAUNCH.

[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

WHAT'S OUR PRESENT POSITION?

APPROACHING COORDINATE 93, VECTOR "L," SIR.

WE SHOULD BE AT THE SPOT WHERE THE MINI-SUB BLEW IN TWO MINUTES.

GOOD. WE'LL SUBMERGE IN THE AREA. YES, SIR.

SKIPPER, THERE'S BEEN SOME SCUTTLEBUTT ABOARD THE SEAVIEW.

- YOU KNOW, ABOUT ALL THAT'S BEEN GOING ON. - OH, WHAT KIND OF SCUTTLEBUTT?

WELL, WE'VE LOST THREE MEN ALREADY, NOT COUNTING CAPTAIN BRENT.

AND, UM, ALL THIS TALK ABOUT TREASURES AND DOUBLOONS AND PIRATE CURSES AND ALL.

AND SOME OF THEM ARE WONDERING IF THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING TO THESE PIRATE CURSES, RIGHT?

YES, SIR, I GUESS THAT'S IT.

WELL, FORGET IT. SEAVIEW'S ON A ROUTINE MISSION--

INSPECTION OF UNDERSEA DEFENSE SYSTEMS.

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF ACCIDENTS, BUT, UH, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.

YES, SIR. BUT YOU CAN HARDLY BLAME THE MEN FOR--

SKIPPER.

- I MUST BE SEEING THINGS. - YOU'RE SEEING THINGS, ALL RIGHT.

IT-IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. IT WASN'T THERE 10 SECONDS AGO.

HANG ON!

[ On Speaker ] THIS IS SPARKS, ADMIRAL. WE HAVE A CALL FROM WASHINGTON, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, PATCH IT THROUGH TO THE OBSERVATION NOSE. AYE, SIR.

GO AHEAD, SIR.

THIS IS NELSON. THIS IS TRAVIS AT THE PENTAGON, ADMIRAL.

DID YOU RECEIVE OUR INVESTIGATION REPORT ON CAPTAIN BRENT?

YEAH. SOME TIME AGO. NOW WHAT IS IT?

WE RECEIVED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING HIM.

YOU'D BETTER SCRATCH EVERYTHING WE TOLD YOU.

TAKE THIS DOWN.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE, TRAVIS?

ALLIED COMMAND GOT THE WIND UP AFTER YOUR INQUIRY. WE'RE TRYING TO RECHECK IT NOW.

THERE'S NOTHING DEFINITE WE CAN TELL YOU, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MAN.

WELL-- WELL, WHAT KIND OF THINGS, TRAVIS?

NOW, WH-WHAT HAVE YOU COME UP WITH?

GAPS IN TIME IN HIS PAST. FORGED BIRTH CERTIFICATE, SCHOOL RECORDS.

ALMOST AS THOUGH CAPTAIN ALFRED BRENT NEVER REALLY EXISTED.

[ Chuckles ] OH, THAT-THAT'S FINE. JUST FINE.

THE ONLY THING WE CAN SUGGEST, ADMIRAL, IS THAT YOU CLAP HIM IN IRONS...

AND HOLD HIM UNTIL THE INVESTIGATION IS COMPLETED.

WELL, YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT LATE. WHY IS THAT?

THE CAPTAIN BRENT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MIGHT VERY WELL BE DEAD.

THAT IS, IF HE EVER EXISTED AT ALL.

I'M NOT SURE I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, SIR.

[ Chuckles ] WELL, I-I'M NOT SURE EITHER.

I'LL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN I AM.

WELL, THERE'S AN OLD SAYING ABOUT, UH, TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST RIGHT NOW, CHIP.

I'M AFRAID WE'RE UP AGAINST A LITTLE SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT, SIR.

SPARKS HAS BEEN TRYING TO RAISE THE FLYING SUB THE LAST 10 MINUTES. CAN'T GET ANY RESPONSE.

LAST REPORTED POSITION, IT WAS APPROACHING THE AREA WHERE THE MINI-SUB BLEW UP.

[ Coughs ]

[ Coughs ] SKIPPER.

[ Groans ] ARE YOU OKAY, SIR?

YEAH, YEAH, I THINK SO.

OH.

SHE SURE HIT US FULL WITH THAT BROADSIDE. WELL, SOMETHING HIT US.

[ Switch Clicks ]

WHATEVER IT WAS, IT KNOCKED OUT THE RADIO AND THE CONTROLS.

[ Coughs ] MAIN CIRCUIT IS OUT TOO, SIR.

OH, WELL, TRY AND FIX IT.

IF YOU CAN FIX IT IN TIME, GO TO THE SEAVIEW AND REPORT THIS TO THE ADMIRAL.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I'M GOING TO FIND THAT PIRATE SHIP THAT BLASTED US.

[ Coughs ]

[ Panting ]

- CAPTAIN BRENT. - WELCOME TO THE ISLAND OF DEATH.

DAMAGE CONTROL COMPLETED SURVEY OF THE FLYING SUB.

HERE'S A SAMPLE OF WHAT THEY FOUND.

ELECTRONIC WIPEOUT, SIR.

LIKE SOMETHING SHOT 100,000 VOLTS INTO THE MAIN REACTOR CIRCUIT.

HARDLY THE KIND OF DAMAGE THAT WOULD BE CAUSED BY A 16-POUND SHOT FROM A SMOOTH BORE.

WHAT, SIR? UH, NEVER MIND.

I WANT REPAIRS COMPLETED AT FLANK SPEED...

AND A COMPLETE ELECTRONIC REFLECTING SHIELD INSTALLED. YES, SIR.

SPARKS. AYE, SIR.

TRY TO GET CAPTAIN CRANE ON SEADOG CIRCUIT THREE, FAST. AYE, SIR.

[ Beeping ]

[ Brent ] WHAT IS THAT SOUND?

[ Beeping Continues ] YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.

THEY, UH-- THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEM IN THE 16th CENTURY.

- [ Beeping Continues ] - SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.

YOU SEE, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS SAY, UH,

THIS IS CRANE, I'M HERE WITH BRENT ON THE ISLAND--

- [ Beeping Continues ] - CAPTAIN, THIS IS SPARKS. CAN YOU READ ME?

- [ Gun Cocks ] - SEADOG TO CAPTAIN CRANE. CAN YOU READ ME?

CAPTAIN CRANE. WE STARTED TO RECEIVE YOUR TRANSMISSION, CAPTAIN.

WHAT WRONG OUT THERE? CAN YOU READ--

SEADOG TO CAPTAIN CRANE. CAN YOU READ ME?

ADMIRAL, THIS IS SPARKS. NOTHING MORE COMING THROUGH FROM CAPTAIN CRANE.

ALL RIGHT, SPARKS. GET ME ADMIRAL HOWARD, 11th FLEET.

PATCH IT INTO THE NOSE MONITOR. AYE, SIR.

I REQUEST RELEASE FROM PRESENT ASSIGNMENT FOR INVESTIGATIVE PURPOSES, SIR.

REQUEST DENIED, HARRY. WE CAN'T GO OFF HALF-COCKED BECAUSE OF SOME SILLY SUPERSTITION.

I DON'T AGREE. I THINK THIS PHENOMENON POSES A DEFINITE THREAT TO OUR DEFENSE SYSTEM.

- BASED ON WHAT? - IF NOTHING ELSE, THE DEATHS OF THREE OF MY MEN.

ACCIDENTS. YOU CALL THE BEHAVIOR OF CAPTAIN BRENT ACCIDENTAL?

YOU'RE IN THE AREA OF INTERNATIONAL FLAP NOW, HARRY.

LET THE STATE DEPARTMENT TAKE CARE OF IT.

- YOU STILL HAVEN'T ANSWERED THE QUESTION. - THEN LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY.

THE ENTIRE UNDERSEA DEFENSE SYSTEM WILL BE OPERATIONAL IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS.

THE SEAVIEW IS NEEDED TO TEST AND SAFEGUARD FINAL INSTALLATIONS.

SORRY, HARRY. AS LONG AS YOU VOLUNTEERED TO BE ATTACHED TO US, THAT'S THE WAY IT HAS TO BE.

[ Scoffs ]

MR. MORTON. YES, SIR.

I'M TURNING OVER COMMAND OF THE SEAVIEW TO YOU. YES, SIR.

PROCEED UNDER PRESENT ORDERS. CONTINUE TO INSPECT...

AND CHECK OUT THE DEFENSE SYSTEM AND CABLES. VERY WELL.

ADMIRAL?

WHAT IF ADMIRAL HOWARD REQUESTS TO SPEAK WITH YOU?

TELL HIM I'VE LEFT TO TREAT AN INCURABLE DISEASE.

FLEET COMMANDER BULLHEADEDNESS!

[ Men Shouting, Indistinct ]

[ Laughing, Shouting ]

PLACE THE PRISONER ON THE TABLE.

[ Grunts ] COME ON. [ All Laughing ]

MR. SEBASTIAN, OUR CAPTIVE CAPTAIN REQUIRES DRINK.

[ All Laughing ]

- SILENCE! - [ Laughing Stops ]

IT WOULD BE WISE FOR YOU NOT TO MOVE TOO QUICKLY, CAPTAIN.

MY MEN ARE TOUCHY ABOUT STRANGERS WHO WOULD TRY TO TAKE THEIR TREASURE.

- IS THAT PART OF IT? - IT IS.

"LA REINA ISABELLA."

IS THAT THE NAME OF YOUR TREASURE SHIP?

IT IS FOR A FACT, CAPTAIN, THE MOST DANGEROUS, MOST POWERFUL SHIP AFLOAT.

- [ All Cheering ] - AM I SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT?

IT IS A MATTER OF COMPLETE INDIFFERENCE TO ME WHAT YOU BELIEVE, CAPTAIN.

BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR,

THE WORLD WILL REALIZE THAT WHAT I SAY IS TRUE.

[ Jet Engine Overhead ]

NO SIGN OF ANYTHING DOWN ON THAT ISLAND, ADMIRAL. MM-HMM.

UH, WHAT'S THE, UH, SUB-TERRESTRIAL SCANNER SHOW?

[ Whirring ]

NOT A THING, SIR. NO UNDERGROUND INSTALLATIONS OF ANY KIND.

[ Scoffs ]

WELL, SOMETHING AROUND HERE DESTROYED THE MINI-SUB AND HIT YOU AND CAPTAIN CRANE.

I'LL MAKE ANOTHER PASS.

BRING THE PRISONER OUT!

[ Man Shouting, Indistinct ]

[ Flying Sub Passing Overhead ]

NOW YOU SHALL SEE AN EXAMPLE OF MY LA REINA ISABELLA'S POWER.

HEY, KOWALSKI, LOOK THERE.

IT'S THAT SHIP AGAIN.

ACTIVATE THE REFLECTING ELECTRONIC SHIELD. FAST!

HOPE IT WORKS, SIR. IT BETTER WORK.

GIVE ME A HAND WITH THESE CONTROLS, KOWALSKI. PULL HER UP.

PULL HER UP! I-I'M TRYING, SIR! I'M TRYING!

YOU SEE? IT IS AS I SAID.

NOTHING CAN WITHSTAND THE POWER OF LA REINA ISABELLA.

TRY YOUR HARDEST.

SHE WON'T COME, SIR.

SH-SH-SHE WON'T COME!

SHE'S A PROUD AND POWERFUL CRAFT, MY LA REINA ISABELLA.

SO POWERFUL, SHE'S GOING TO DESTROY YOUR UNDERWATER DEFENSE SYSTEM.

IN LESS THAN AN HOUR, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE'S GOING TO DO. BACK INSIDE WITH HIM.

[ Jet Engine Powering Down ]

YOU ALL RIGHT, KOWALSKI? OH, YES, SIR. I-- I THINK SO.

THE REFLECTING ELECTRONIC SHIELD DID ITS WORK.

IT ABSORBED MOST OF THE FORCE FIELD THAT HIT US.

THE WAY EVERYTHING SEEMED TO GO, THE WAY WE HIT THAT WATER, YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME, SIR.

LET'S HOPE IT FOOLS THE PEOPLE WE WANT IT TO FOOL.

HERE, SEE IF YOU CAN TAKE HER AHEAD DEAD SLOW. AYE, SIR.

I'LL OPERATE THE SCANNING GEAR.

[ Whirring ]

ADMIRAL. HMM?

JUST WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR ANYWAY?

I WISH I KNEW.

ALL I'M CERTAIN OF IS THAT WE HAVE TO FIND IT.

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT SHIP OF YOURS CAN DESTROY OUR UNDERWATER DEFENSE SYSTEM?

- IT IS A CERTAINTY, CAPTAIN. - YOU MISFIRED ONCE BEFORE, REMEMBER?

THE FOOL THAT DESTROYED YOUR MISSILE 147 HAS ALREADY PAID FOR HIS MISTAKE.

DID YOU FAKE THAT CALL FROM HERE WHEN YOU BLEW UP THAT MINI-SUB?

NO, NOT HERE. I WAS ABOARD LA REINA ISABELLA.

AH, COME ON, WILL YOU? WHY DON'T YOU LAY OFF THIS MASQUERADE FARCE?

IT'S NO FARCE, CAPTAIN.

I AM DRESSED AS I WAS WHEN I SAILED THESE SEAS 400 YEARS AGO.

SEBASTIAN, I JOIN THE OTHERS ABOARD THE ISABELLA.

SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT FROM OUR PRISONER ABOUT THE PRESENT POSITION OF THE SEAVIEW.

DON'T HURT HIM TOO MUCH. JUST ENOUGH TO LOOSEN HIS TONGUE.

I'LL REJOIN YOU AFTER MY VICTORY, CAPTAIN. UNTIL THEN--

[ Men Shouting ]

[ Shouting Continues ]

MY FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,

THE TIME IS HERE FOR OUR ULTIMATE VICTORY OVER THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

TODAY, THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE. TOMORROW, THE WORLD!

[ All ] HAIL!

HAIL! HAIL!

ALL STOP. PICK UP SOMETHING, SIR?

I THINK SO. HAVE A LOOK.

LOOKS PRETTY UNUSUAL, SIR.

IT'S A CABLE, APPARENTLY RUNNING FROM THE ISLE OF DEATH...

IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MAIN CABLE LINKING OUR WEAPONS SYSTEM.

OUR CHARTS DON'T SHOW ANYTHING LIKE THAT, SIR. THEY WOULDN'T.

I THINK SOMEBODY'S PATCHED INTO OUR CABLE.

ANOTHER CABLE CONNECTED TO OURS?

THERE'D BE NO REASON FOR THAT, SIR, UNLESS--

YEAH, UNLESS. UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO SEND AN ELECTRONIC FORCE THROUGH THE CABLE...

AND EXPLODE OUR WARHEADS.

KOWALSKI, GET INTO A WET SUIT.

WE'RE GONNA SPLICE INTO THAT CABLE. AYE, AYE, SIR.

- CALL OUT THE BELLS. - [ Man ] NEARING FOUR BELLS.

LOAD AND PRIME. ALL IS WELL, MEN.

BE PREPARED TO FIRE BROADSIDE AT MY COMMAND.

AT PRECISELY FOUR BELLS,

LA REINA ISABELLA WILL ACHIEVE THE GREATEST VICTORY IN THE HISTORY OF THE SEA.

AND YOU HAVE ARRIVED...

JUST IN TIME TO WITNESS IT, CAPTAIN CRANE.

ALL HAIL! ALL HAIL!

ALL HAIL!

YOU TIED INTO THE CABLE?

[ Panting ] YES, SIR.

I CUT IT AND SPLICED IN THIS ONE.

GOOD. HELP ME PATCH THIS INTO THE MAIN REACTOR CIRCUIT.

HOW DO WE KNOW THIS-- THIS ELECTRONIC REVERSAL FIELD WILL-- WILL WORK?

WE DON'T.

STAND BY TO START THE PROJECTOR!

FLOODS OUT! START THE PROJECTOR... NOW!

LA REINA ISABELLA SAILS AGAIN.

PROJECTED ONLY ON FILM, PERHAPS,

BUT SHE SAILS AGAIN TO SEE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

[ Men ] ALL HAIL! AND WHAT ARE YOU GETTING OUT OF ALL THIS?

THE COUNTRY THAT I WORK FOR IS MOST GENEROUS...

TO THOSE WHO AID AGAINST THE WESTERN DEMOCRACIES.

- HOW GENEROUS? - HA! I SHALL OBTAIN THE RIGHTS TO ALL THE TREASURES...

IN THIS AREA THAT BELONG TO ME AND MY FAMILY BY RIGHT OF CONQUEST.

[ Men ] ALL HAIL! WHAT COUNTRY ARE YOU WORKING FOR, BRENT?

[ Man ] FOUR BELLS! FIRE!

[ Whirring ]

ANYTHING OUT THERE YET, SIR? HMM?

OH, NO. NO.

[ Whirring Continues ]

HERE SHE COMES. REVERSE ELECTRONIC POWER! AND HANG ON!

MORE POWER, KOWALSKI. WE NEED MORE POWER.

SHE'LL BURN OUT, SIR. THE CIRCUITS CAN'T TAKE A BIGGER LOAD.

THEY'VE GOT TO. POUR IT ON!

BREAKER CIRCUITS HAVE BLOWN OUT, CAPTAIN! [ Explosion ]

INCREASE OUR LOAD! POWER-- POWER SUPPLY!

OPEN EMERGENCY CIRCUITS! THROW THOSE BREAKERS! THROW THE BREAKERS!

BUILD UP THE LOAD!

BUILD UP OUR LOAD, IDIOT! BUILD IT UP!

BUILD UP OUR LOAD, IDIOT! BUILD IT UP!

WE'VE DONE IT. WE'RE STARTING TO FORCE THE CURRENT BACK.

WE HAVE TO DESTROY THE HEMISPHERE!

THEN ALL THIS PIRATE NONSENSE WAS MERELY A COVER...

FOR BRENT'S ATTEMPT TO SABOTAGE OUR DEFENSE SYSTEM. WELL, NOT ENTIRELY.

I THINK HE REALLY BELIEVED HE WAS THE REINCARNATION OF THE ORIGINAL CAPTAIN BRENT,

ARMED WITH A NEW WEAPON-- HIS ELECTRONIC FORCE FIELD.

A FORCE FIELD THAT COULD HAVE BLOWN UP HALF THE HEMISPHERE IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR YOU.

WELL DONE, HARRY. THANK YOU, ADMIRAL.

[ Switch Clicks ] [ Chuckles ]

NO, UH, INQUIRY BOARD FOR YOUR DESERTION OF POST?

OH, IT SEEMS TO HAVE SLIPPED HIS MIND.

I WONDER WHAT COUNTRY BRENT WAS WORKING FOR?

WELL, UNFORTUNATELY, WE'LL PROBABLY NEVER KNOW.

ACTUALLY, HE WAS WORKING FOR A LEGEND OF EVIL.

A DEAD MAN'S DOUBLOONS.

I'LL TEACH YOU THAT SOMETIME.
