All language subtitles for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea S02E18 The Skys on Fire.DVDRip.NonHI.cc.en1

Chip, what's our exact position?

At 1430 hours, we
Crossed this line.

That's 72 degrees, 35 minutes,
14 seconds south latitude.

That puts us within 10 miles
Of the antarctica coastline.

Aye, aye, sir. The
Bottom's shoaling now.

Oh, that's close enough then. You
Better alter course by 90 degrees.

We'll proceed along
The continental shelf.

- ninety degrees right rudder.
- aye, sir.

Four days under
These ice fields.

I'll be glad when
We get out of here.

What's your reading? Multiple
Objects, sir. All around us.

Icebergs? At this depth?

Look.

Are we still at 500 feet?

650, keel to bottom.

I want to take her
Down a thousand.

Full down elevation, all planes.
Level off at 1,000 feet. aye, sir.

It's all clear.

- all stop. Hold trim.
- aye, sir.

- damage control, report.
- aye, sir. Stand by.

How could a thing like this happen,
Sir? I thought ice was supposed to float.

Well, you've, uh, put a
Piece of ice into a drink.

Well, the ice sinks first,
Then rises back to the surface.

damage control. All
Tight and dry, skipper.

Those ice cubes must have
Fallen from quite a height.

Yes, ice is breaking off
The continental shelf.

The south polar
Ice pack breaking up?

- let's take her up
And have a look.
- kowalski, what's overhead?

It's clear above, skipper,
All the way to the surface.

Blow all ballast tanks.
Prepare to surface.

We're approaching
The surface now, sir.

- all stop.
- all stop.

Cold-weather gear, sir. Right.

- crack the deck hatch.
- aye, sir.

The sky's on fire.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

starring richard basehart,

david hedison.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

Boy, this heat's terrific.

Let's get below.

Whew! What's going on up there?

Certainly intend to find out.

Chip, take her down
To 90 feet. Aye, aye, sir.

Prepare to dive.

- dive. All dive.
- all green. Dive.

There's something's coming through,
Sir, but it's not the observatory.

Yes, we read you. Stand
By for admiral nelson.

Commander mchenry,
Sir. The pentagon.

Hello, mac.

Do you read me? This is nelson.

Admiral, I've been trying
To raise you for two days.

Well, we've been running
Deep on radio silence.

Do you have any idea what's going on
Down here in the south polar regions?

It's part of a radiation belt
Over the southern hemisphere.

It caught fire
About 48 hours ago.

But... But how?

Well, we can't be sure.

but a new zealand observatory reported a
Heavy meteor shower at the time it ignited.

- now we think that
was the cause.
- a meteor shower?

It's, uh, theoretically possible.
Uh, what's the outlook, mac?

Grim. The whole southern
Hemisphere is threatened.

There's an emergency scientific
Conference going on at the u.N.

They've been in session day
And night around the clock.

The president wants you here in washington,
Pronto. Now how soon can you make it?

Prepare the flying sub
For immediate launch. Aye.

Well, I should be able to get there
In, uh, something under six hours.

Good. You can work on the
Problem during the flight.

I'll feed you data
By radio. Good luck.

Right. End transmission.

I've had a bag packed for you, admiral.
The flying sub's ready to take off.

Oh, thanks. Is the, uh, miniature
Computer working? Yes, sir.

Do you want a copilot?
No, I'd rather go alone.

I've got a lot of thinking to
Do before I get to washington.

I can set the course on
Automatic most of the time.

Is it safe to go aloft
With that fire overhead?

Well, I'll soon
Find out, won't I?

Sir, all checked
Out and ready to go.

Thanks, chief. Yeah.

Stand by to launch flying sub.

Latest surface
Temperature readings. Mmm.

125 degrees, and we're
Practically at the south pole.

I'd hate to be near the equator.

Still as bad? Worse.

What are your orders? Make a course due
North and stay clear of any more icebergs.

All ahead standard.
Aye, sir. Is that all?

Mm-hmm. That's all. That's all we
Can do. It's all up to the admiral now.

No. No, mac, I'm on automatic
Pilot, working on the problem.

Have you crossed
The equator yet?

Yeah, about, uh, 30 minutes ago.

There's no fire
Now. The sky's clear.

Things are getting worse
All the time in the south.

The temperature's up
Another five degrees.

are you getting anywhere
With your calculations?

Well, I think I'm onto something.
I'm cross-checking it now.

I hope to have some data ready
By the time I get to washington.

Good. I hope you're right.

I don't mind telling you, what
We need right now is a miracle.

end transmission.

The blazing radiation belt continues
To burn a path of destruction...

Across the entire
Southern hemisphere.

the rest of the world
Watches in horror...

as searing heat touches off raging forest
Fires in new zealand and the argentine.

Thousands of deaths have
Already been reported.

And the teeming
Populations of the northern

Hemisphere watch and
Wait in growing horror,

not knowing when or
If the disastrous fire...

Will spread to their
Half of the world.

Meanwhile, world leaders and
The greatest scientific brains...

continue their efforts
To ward off total disaster.

Flying sub to national airport
Tower. Request permission to land.

Official, priority "A."
roger, flying sub 1.

cleared for landing.
Use runway 14.

I say we can stop the fire by exploding
A nuclear device 300 miles in the air.

This will blow the burning gases
Clear of the earth's magnetic field.

That sounds like
A dangerous plan.

of course, I will have
To study your figures,

But I see many pitfalls. I
Agree. Has it occurred to you...

That such action could trigger the gases
In the belt over the northern hemisphere,

The very thing we
Must avoid at any cost?

Naturally. The way to avoid that is
To select precisely the right moment...

And the exact
Angle for the shot.

Admiral nelson has already
Made the necessary calculations.

the missile must be launched
At exactly 1600 hours...

On the 29th of this month.

latitude, 58 degrees south,

Longitude, 125 degrees west.

Gentlemen, that is exactly here.

Right here.

And I understand the
Seaview is already equipped

With the necessary
Missile for the shot.

That's true. Our only problem is
To get the seaview in position to fire.

It's gonna be a tight
Race. But not impossible.

I'll radio crane to get
Under way at flank speed.

I'll fly back to
The ship myself.

You're gonna fly back,
Admiral, but not alone.

Now I haven't had a
Chance to tell you this,

But you are not authorized
To take any action...

Without the approval of
The u.N. Security council...

Based upon recommendations of
A special investigation committee...

Dr. Carleton,
Dr. Weber and myself.

Now the appointments were
Made by the u.N. Security council...

with the approval
Of the president.

And now, admiral, without delay,

You will order your submarine
To race for the firing point, but...

we three will be on
Board to report to the u.N.

And they, in turn, will decide
Whether you pull that trigger or not.

The world's on the point of burning
Up, and we're tangled in red tape.

All right, shall we
Get started, gentlemen?

The sky is perfectly
Clear so far.

We're still north of the equator.
You'll see your flames soon enough.

But there's no sign of them in the northern
Skies. Don't you understand, nelson?

we must keep it that way.

We must do nothing to
Risk the spread of the fire.

And let everyone in the
Southern hemisphere die?

They will not die,
Not all of them.

Dr. Weber, you may be a
Great authority on gases...

Everything from nerve gas to solar
Gas... But, in this case, you're wrong!

The next few days will
Determine that, admiral.

Uh, dr. Weber has calculated that the gases
In the belt will burn themselves out...

When the temperature
Reaches exactly 173 degrees.

And just when is
That going to be?

Well, our computers calculate it will reach
173 by 5:00 p.M. Local time on the 29th.

Yeah. Just an hour too late to fire
The missile, and if dr. Weber's wrong,

Too late to stop the fire.

But I am not wrong.
I stake my life on it.

We're all staking our
Lives, doctor. Look ahead.

we're just crossing the equator.

Flying sub to seaview.
We're on the last leg.

Give us a homing signal so we
Can get a fix on you. Aye, aye, sir.

Homing signal now activated.

Will the ship take it, admiral?

Made it on the way up,
But it's, uh... It's hotter now.

Nelson, look!

Hit it with co2.

I'll try to hold altitude.

This heat's too much.

We're gonna have to run the
Rest of the way submerged.

Okay.

Our position is just about here.

We have to arrive
At exactly this point...

Before 1600 hours
Day after tomorrow.

That's a very great distance.

We'll have to be awfully
Lucky to make it by then, admiral.

We have to make it. We're
Running wide open now.

It makes no difference
Whether we get there or not.

Only the security council can
Authorize you to fire that missile.

Before we reach these
Coordinates, dr. Weber,

I hope to have
That authorization.

The security council will decide on
The basis of their recommendation?

well, those are my instructions.

Now dr. Weber has reached
His decision, I've reached mine.

I think we should put it to
A vote. Commander mchenry?

The nelson plan.

Well, obviously dr. Weber votes
For his own plan, I vote for mine.

That's two against you.

that leaves it up
To you, dr. Carleton.

But there are many
Factors to be considered.

I-I've studied your
Calculations, nelson.

They... They seem to
Make sense. But the risk.

If we want a decision
From the security council,

you have to make up your
Mind one way or the other.

If he is wrong, the whole
World perishes. If I am wrong,

at least the greater part, the
Densely populated northern hemisphere,

has a chance to survive.

And I am not wrong.

There is only one
Way you can vote.

I need more time.
I-I-I can't vote now.

Very well. Gentlemen, we'll wait
Till we arrive at the coordinates,

And that is all.

Ah, good day.

Oh, well, uh... Well, I'm sorry,
But this room is restricted.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I merely wanted to see the place
From which the missile is to be fired,

if it is to be fired.
Oh, it'll be fired, okay.

Well, that remains to be seen.

You won't see anything here.
It's fired from the control room.

Indeed? well, it's one of
Those nuclear deals, you know.

Look, uh, if you don't mind,
I, uh... No, I'm leaving now.

You've been very courteous.

Ohh! Oh, I'm so sorry.

My ring... It scratched your finger.
Forgive me. No, never mind. Forget it.

I'm sorry. It's okay.

Down scope.

The temperature's still rising.

Well, they'll have to
Let us fire that missile.

But don't you understand?

A whole hemisphere will
Go up in smoke if we don't act.

Or a whole world
Might go up if we do.

"Might." now that's the key word.
But we've got to take that chance.

We can't stand by and let
Millions of innocent people die.

It's too big a decision. We...
We can't make it by emotion.

What other way is
There to make it now?

I'm sorry, mchenry.
I... I need more time.

Uh, sparks, pipe this through
To the rest of the ship.

Aye, aye, sir.

While in melbourne, multiple fires
Sweep through the business district.

martial law has been declared in an
Effort to hold down the many deaths...

which have already resulted
From the worsening catastrophe.

word from bolivia
Indicates that country...

is particularly hard hit at
This time and has sent numerous...

Did you guys hear that?

If that fire spreads to the other half
Of the world, it's good-bye everybody.

Everybody.

We've got, uh, only 18 hours to get
There. Can we get any more speed?

Oh, not for that length of time.
The engines won't take it. Mmm.

Well, we can make it this way,

But, uh, that'll be close.

Come in.

Oh, I'm sorry, admiral. I didn't know
You were busy. Oh, it's all right, mac.

I just wanted to say that, uh,

I've been hammering away at
Carleton since this afternoon.

He's a scared rabbit, but I think I've
Almost got him talked into voting our way.

Well, I hope you can do it.

Yeah. Oh, then I met weber in
The corridor right after dinner.

He knows I've been working on
Carleton, and he's pretty worried.

Well, that might have
Been a mistake, mac.

Weber's a pretty
Touchy character.

- I wouldn't bait him
If I were you.
- well, I suppose you're right.

But he-he gets on my nerves.

I'm gonna lie down for a while.

Good night, lee.
Good night, mac.

Good night, admiral. Night.

Fire in frame 42. Fire
Detail on the double.

aye, sir. Frame 42.

Give me a hand here!

How is he? He...

He swallowed a lot of smoke.
Take him down to sick bay.

There's no hurry now,
Sir. This man's dead.

All the deck hatches are open.
We're scrubbing the ship of smoke.

Oh.

Admiral, we can resume
Course in a few minutes.

I hope it still matters.

Uh, any idea of
The cause of fire?

Yes, sir. Fire detail says it could have
Been a faulty electrical connection.

Mm-hmm. A terrible tragedy.

Report his death to the u.N. Security
Council and ask for further instructions.

Admiral, uh, we haven't had
Radio contact for an hour.

- all right. Have sparks keep trying.
- aye, sir.

Uh, good morning, chief. Oh.

Morning, sir.

Any more news?

Only more of the same.
But the worst is over, chief.

Soon the temperature will reach
173 degrees and the fire will burn out.

Are you sure about
That? Yes, I am positive,

If only nelson is not
Permitted to try his fool scheme.

If he does, I warn you, the
Whole world will be destroyed.

Oh, man, am I beat.

You and me both, ski. How long
Have we got between watches?

An hour. Yeah, that's all.

Well, it's not too
Much longer anyway.

that's one thing.

Hey, say, chief.
What's up, chief?

Do you guys know
What is goin' on?

Sure, we do. As soon as
We get into the right spot,

We're going to fire a missile
And knock out that fire.

no!

We got to stop 'em.
We can't let 'em do it.

Hey, chief. Hey, you okay?

Don't you talk to me in
That tone of voice, mac.

Wait. He only asked you a
Question... You stay out of this!

Chief, take it easy.

What's wrong with you, sharkey?

Attention! What's
Going on in here?

Master-at-arms, aft crew's
Quarter on the double!

aye, sir.

What started all this?

I did, sir.

We... We... We can't go
Through with this plan.

It's, uh... It's mass murder,
The end of the world.

Some-somebody... Somebody's
Got to stop the admiral.

- belay that kind of talk.
- that's how he is, sir. He's psycho.

Escort this man to the captain.

It's mass
Murder. It's... It's...

Carry on.

I heard a disturbance.
Was there a fight?

A fight?

Oh, no, sir. We, uh... We
Were just horsing around.

right, stu?

Sure. We do that all the
Time. You know how it is.

Yes, I know.

A crew under terrible
Tension... Many things can happen.

We are all under a strain.

But we will see it
Through, won't we?

Do you deny the charges, chief?

- no, sir.
- striking an officer
Is a serious offense.

you know that. yes, sir.

Mr. Morton, it's up to
You to prefer charges.

I don't think I will, sir.

in my opinion, he wasn't responsible
For his own actions at the time.

Is that true, chief?

- no, sir.
- look at his eyes, lee.

Chief, I'm sending
You down to sick bay.

I want the doc to give
You a thorough going-over.

- yes, sir.
- take him.

I can't believe it.

Poor mchenry.

A tragic death. Tragic.

Well, I feel as badly
About it as you do,

But there have been thousands
Of tragic deaths today.

In a few hours, there will
Be millions unless we act!

How much time is left?

Five hours before we
Reach the coordinates.

If we get there in time,
We can save those lives.

Has the security council
Authorized you to fire?

We can't reach them. The
Decision has to be by vote...

Yours, weber's, mine.

Your decision is
Made. So is weber's.

Actually, what you're
Saying is that the whole thing...

Is now up to me. But I've
Given you all the facts.

There are no other
Arguments, pro or con.

What more do you need
To make up your mind?

Courage, I suppose.

How many millions of lives
Hang on which way I decide?

No man should have the weight of a
Decision like that on his shoulders.

I-I-I can't do it!

You're actually feeling
Sorry for yourself, aren't you?

The lives at stake mean nothing.

you're thinking about you.

how unfair it is that you
Have to commit yourself.

Well, whether you admit it or not,
You've already made your decision.

by refusing to vote at all,
You're endorsing weber's plan.

And you're gonna live with
That for the rest of your life!

Yes, that's true, isn't it?

And so is what you said
About me, every word of it.

Taking a stand on this, one way
Or the other, makes me sick inside.

Literally sick.

But I've got to
Vote, and I will.

Go on.

Your plan, of course.

I'll call weber now
And make it official. no.

No, I'd rather tell him.

If I can face the decision
I've just made, I can face him.

That, gentlemen,
Is the situation.

I give you my word
As a man of science,

As an expert in such matters.

If you permit that
Missile to be fired,

You will destroy
The whole world.

I leave you with that thought.

There's nothing more I can say.

All right, you heard
What the man said.

That's not just some joker off the
Street. He's a famous man, right, stu?

Right. I don't know about
The rest of you guys,

But I've got a lot of
Living planned for me.

I'm not about to let
Anybody throw that away,

Especially for some far-out
Theory I don't even dig!

What about our folks
Back home, our friends?

Do we just sit around and let them
Die, or do we do something about it?

Ah, carleton. Ah, I was
Coming to look for you.

Time is running short.

Soon you must make up your
Mind and put an end to this madness.

I know. And I've been trying
To find you to tell you.

I have made up my mind.

Good. Then we will
Settle everything.

I'm recommending nelson's plan.

- this is hardly
A topic for jokes.
- I'm deadly serious.

I can't permit you to make such a
Blunder. Think what you're doing.

I know what I'm doing.
My mind is made up.

Yes, I can see that it is.

But there's no need
To vote just yet.

There are still three or
Four hours. Why postpone it?

Nothing will change my mind now.

Well, understandably, I
Am quite shaken by this.

Do you have a cigarette?

I think so. Thank you.

Oh, I am so sorry.

No! No! Weber, no! Weber, no!

No! Help!

How soon can you
Get under way again?

We've got it now. It'll just be a
Few minutes. We have very little time.

How the devil did the
Transformer blow?

Dr. Carleton blundered in there
By mistake. Well, where is he?

full power restored.

All right. Secure the detail.

I'll get us under
Way right away.

Chip, get us under way at once.

I can't. Engineering just
Reported another foul-up.

When the generator
Blew, one of the special

Jet nozzles was expelled
From the aft blower.

Well, get another one from
Stores. There aren't any spares.

This is the kind of freak accident that
Wouldn't happen again in a hundred years.

Without that nozzle,
We're dead in the water.

It's on the bottom
Somewhere, if we could find it.

We've got to find it.
Order a diving party.

I'll take this one out
Myself. Aye, aye, sir.

Diving party, stand by.
Diving party, stand by.

You okay? Yeah, I'm all right.

This looks all right. I'll get
Engineering to install it immediately.

Make it a rush job, chip.

Engine room, tie down all safety
Valves. Give me everything you've got.

aye, sir.

Lee, we just got a report from
Sick bay on chief sharkey. Well?

- he was heavily drugged.
- drugged? With what?

The doc still doesn't
Know what the stuff

Was, but he says it
Turned him into a madman.

- bring him in.
- aye, sir.

Bring him in.

Uh, chief,

Are you all right?

I, uh,

Got the shakes,
Skipper, but I'm okay.

You're relieved. Technically,
He's still under arrest.

Did you change your mind
About not preferring charges?

you're the one he hit. funny, I don't
Seem to be able to remember a thing.

Do you, chief?

Not a thing, sir.

Chief, you're on watch.
We, uh... We need you here.

Yes, sir.

Chip. Yes, sir?

I'm going up to report to the
Admiral. Take over. Aye, aye, sir.

Ten minutes. How long before
We reach the coordinates?

We're making fantastic speed. We should
Be there inside of, uh, eight minutes.

- and the missile?
- set to go.

But the communications are still
Out. What about the authorization?

Forget about the authorization. I
Take full responsibility for this shot.

Kowalski, what does this mean?

We're taking over
The ship, captain.

Now wait a minute. Y-y-you
Don't know what you're doing.

don't try anything,
Admiral, or I'll shoot.

What's the matter with you men?

Just get your hands in the air. We're
Gonna stop you from firing this missile.

we're not gonna stand by and
Let you destroy the world, admiral.

We're gonna lock you up in
Here until the deadline's over.

Get a detail and get up
There fast. Aye, aye, sir.

All right, you and you two
Men, on the double with me.

Okay.

All right, hold it!
Get him, bill! Drop that!

Admiral, this is morton.
Are you all right?

Yes, chip. What's our position?

We're at the coordinates. Come
To full stop. I'll be right there.

Aye, aye, sir.

All stop. Hold trim. Ready
For missile shot. aye, aye, sir.

Take these men to the brig and
Lock them up until after the firing.

Then I want them taken
To sick bay for examination.

Weber.

No!

stop in your tracks!
Put that gun down.

stand still!

If anybody fixes that
Panel, I drop this grenade.

Don't be a fool. If you
Wreck this sub, you die with it.

I know that.

I've already killed two
Good men, nelson, to stop you.

I'm perfectly willing
To kill a hundred more...

To keep you from
Firing that missile.

It's nearly over, admiral.

don't! You don't really
Want to die any more than I do.

Bring me the
Magnetic primer, quick!

Prepare number
Eight missile for firing.

Thirty seconds to go, admiral.

Time has run out, admiral.

There's lee. He's okay.

Give him a hand.

Well, how do you feel, chief?

Kind of busted up.

What happened to weber?

Well, he caught the full force of the
Explosion. You can imagine the result.

Riley and kowalski?

They got the same dose
Of drugs that you did.

Weber and his ring again.
They're all right now.

and the fire's
Out. I feel better.

We all do, chief. Believe me.
