Flying sub to seaview.
Come in, seaview.

this is seaview.
go ahead, admiral.

We're approaching our coordinates.
Estimated time of arrival, 12 minutes.

aye, sir. Any instructions
For the skipper?

Tell captain crane that our
Distinguished guest is beside me.

Be sure that he gets a proper
Welcome aboard. aye, aye, sir.

"Distinguished guest"?
"Proper welcome"?

That's a bit strong, admiral. I
Meant this to be a casual visit.

Well, don't worry
About it, senator.

We tend to keep a
Pretty informal ship.

Skipper.

From the admiral, sir. Oh, good.

The admiral?

He's got senator dennis with
Him. They'll be here in 10 minutes.

Come to a full stop and make all
Preparations to pipe them aboard.

All stop. Maintain
Neutral buoyancy. aye, sir.

Will the senator require
Sleeping quarters?

No. It's a quick courtesy call.
He'll be leaving in a couple of hours.

Dennis? He's a member of the
Armed forces committee, isn't he?

That's right. He was just
Appointed about a month ago.

I'll bet he's coming to look
At the admiral's special baby.

There's no doubt about it, chip. Everybody
In the government wants to see it.

Think the admiral will show it
To him? When he's good and ready.

Not before then. Better
Get that detail ready. Aye, aye.

Okay, kowalski. This is your post
The whole time this v.I.P. Is aboard.

No matter what, you don't open
The door for him. Got it? Right, chief.

I don't know what's so special about
This one, but it's the captain's orders.

I know what's so special
About him. This is william dennis.

What, do you know
This guy or something?

He's my senator. Didn't you
Read about the election?

Oh, sure. The election.
Oh. He won it, didn't he?

Biggest upset in the
History of our state.

Came from nowhere.
Didn't have a chance.

Got around, met
A few people and...

Won by a landslide.

Oh. Yeah, I read about it. Just don't
Let him through that door, okay?

Okay.

Hi, lee. Hi, admiral.

Chip. Gentlemen.

Oh, captain crane, I believe. I'm billy
Dennis. Welcome aboard, senator.

You must be the exec.
It's good to be here.

Nice to know all you
Men. How do you do?

How do you do? How
Do you do, sailor?

Admiral, this man tells me
He's one of my constituents.

That's quite an
Unexpected pleasure.

Now, then, what's in here? That's the
Working components of the new x-4 device.

Oh, well, I'd like very
Much to see that.

I'm... I'm sorry, sir.

His orders are to
Permit no one in there.

Well, certainly that
Doesn't include me?

I'm afraid it does,
Senator. As you know,

The seaview doesn't come under
The authority of the armed services,

And the x-4 hasn't yet officially
Been turned over to the government.

Of course. That's
Quite understandable.

Oh, don't worry about it,
Sailor. You do your job well.

well, shall we
Continue the tour?

Down this way. Thank you, sir.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

starring richard basehart,

david hedison.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

What happened?
Patterson stopped a slug.

Get him to sick bay. Let's go.

Take it easy. We don't
Know how bad he's hit.

I'm sorry about this, senator. But
We'll let captain crane handle it.

Kowalski?

Why did you shoot him?

It wasn't patterson.

It... It was something
In the corridor.

Something terrible
Coming right at me.

I had to shoot. Don't you see?

I had to.

He wouldn't shoot one of his
Own men, sir. Not... Not kowalski.

He needs medical help. I'll
Take him down to sick bay, okay?

I want to question
Him first. Look at him.

Can't the questioning wait?

He needs to see the doc first.
Not until I find out what's going on.

Post another man on this watch
And bring kowalski up to the nose.

Aye, aye, sir.

What are we doing
In here, admiral?

It's part of your tour of the seaview,
Senator. You're joking, of course.

Let's get down to brass
Tacks. We both know

What it is I came to see
Here on your submarine.

The x-4, of course. Of course.

And apparently I'm to
Be denied that privilege.

No, not altogether. No, sir.

It's true I had to deny you permission
To look at the component room.

That's all pretty technical
Anyway for anyone but an engineer.

But I am going to show you the
Most interesting part of the device.

Here in this room?
Right. Here in this room.

That's just a simple
Map of the world.

It's more than a map,
Senator, and it's hardly simple.

This is the view panel of the
X-4. Let me activate it for you.

These lights represent the precise position
Of every nuclear submarine in the world.

if that's true, that's the most
Amazing thing I've ever encountered.

It's literally true. The
Green lights are our subs,

The amber are those of
Our allies and neutrals,

And the others, of course,
Are potential hostiles.

Are these approximations or
Guesses, or can they be verified?

We've had occasion to check the
Position of our own subs and others...

Against their relative
Position on the charts.

So far, the device
Has been 100% correct.

If you could prove that to me,

This could easily be the most important
Weapon in our entire defense complex.

And I can prove it. Choose
Any one of the green lights.

Very well. Uh, that one.
Closest one to hawaii.

21 degrees, 59 minutes.

160 degrees.

Now, that should
Be the thomas paine.

Sparks, send a code 1 message
To the s.S.N. thomas paine.

I request a reading of
Their position. aye, sir.

we should have
Confirmation within minutes.

I think that should
Prove my point.

500. Trim satisfactory.

Very well. Continue to
Hold trim at dead stop.

hold trim at dead
Stop. Aye, aye, sir.

Now, kowalski,
Let's try it again.

You heard this noise, you
Investigated and saw what?

There was this...

This thing in the corridor, sir.

it was alive, sir.

It made an awful noise,
Sir, and then it came at me.

straight at me. and you fired?

Yes, sir.

Over and over again.
Right in the middle of it!

it was awful. and
Then what happened?

I... I don't know, sir.

I... Th-that's all
I can remember.

Was patterson in the
Corridor at any time?

Uh, no, sir.

never.

Not until...

Not until after I fired.

and, uh, then I...

I saw him lying
There on the deck.

And the thing was gone then.

And it was just...

just patterson lying there.

All right, kowalski. I'm
Sending you to sick bay.

The doctor will give you something
To help you sleep. That's all. Go on.

Aye, aye, sir.

Oh, it's difficult
To believe, admiral,

But if those are all nuclear
Submarines... And they are.

admiral, I have position requested
For the s.S.N. thomas paine, sir.

Let's have it. 41
Degrees, 59 minutes.

160 degrees.

Thank you, sparks.

Well, the s.S.N. thomas paine is
Exactly where you said it was.

The device really does
Work! With infallible accuracy.

Have you any idea how much this can
Affect our entire defense posture?

Yeah. Quite a
Clear idea, senator.

How soon are you gonna
Turn it over to washington?

As soon as we finish
Testing it. I'm sorry, senator,

But it's impossible
To be more explicit.

Hey, that's very
Strange. What's that?

The light marking the thomas
Paine's position... It's gone out.

Sparks, have you broken
Contact with the thomas paine?

affirmative.

Get them back at once. I want their
Position reconfirmed. aye, aye, sir.

Forget it, ski.

I know it was an accident.
One of those things.

You're... You're gonna be
Okay though, aren't you?

Sure.

Doc says I'll be up and
Around again by tomorrow.

You always were a lousy shot.

Yeah. Lucky for you.

How could it happen? That's
What I want to know. How?

It's not an easy
Question to answer, chief.

Yeah, but I know these guys. I
Work with them. I live with them.

If a kid like kowalski can shoot
His own best friend, what's going on?

I'm trying to get the answers
The only way I know how.

Well, should you leave them
Alone in there after what happened?

I think talking to patterson is the
Best possible therapy for kowalski.

Yes, sir.

Uh, is he still, uh...

Oh, I doubt if he ever was. Not
In the sense that you imply, chief.

But what about all that
Stuff of seeing things

In the corridor and then
Gunning down patterson?

It's all part of the pattern I
Uncovered when I examined him.

What did you find out, doc? I
Mean, he'll be okay, won't he?

I believe so.

He had some sort of delusion.

Perhaps brought on
By a shock of some sort.

Well, it won't
Happen again, will it?

I'm not a betting
Man, but I'd say the

Chances were something
Like a million-to-one.

Thanks, doc.

- admiral, this is sparks.
- any luck, sparks?

negative, sir. The thomas paine
Does not acknowledge our signal.

Admiral, more of them
Are going out all the time.

nearly every green
Light on the board.

Sparks, send out a general
Call to all u.S. Nuclear subs.

Emergency frequency.
Request top priority response.

- aye, aye, sir.
- they're all going out.

one by one, all over the board.

It's not possible. It
Can't be happening.

they're all going
Out... Every light!

Senator, if we can
Believe our eyes,

Every nuclear submarine...

All except seaview
And that lone ship...

Has disappeared from
The oceans of the world.

Okay, secure the detail.

Well, chief? Engineering checked
Out every circuit in there, sir.

Not a thing wrong.
Well, post a watch.

Aye, aye, sir.

S.S.R.N. seaview calling.

Priority "A" emergency.
Please acknowledge.

S.S.R.N. seaview calling.
Emergency. Please acknowledge.

It's no use. Secure the call.

I've tried every emergency
Frequency on the board, sir.

There's no answer anywhere.

Every nuclear submarine in
The world except this one...

Vanished in the span
Of a few short minutes.

Engineering's finished
That check, admiral.

And? Everything's working.

There's no breakdown
In the system.

There's got to be. It's the only
Explanation that makes sense.

Pardon me. Could you come forward
With me to the observation nose?

There's something I'd
Like you to see. Excuse me.

Of course, washington must be
Notified. Well, naturally. Naturally.

Sparks, raise the code
Center at the pentagon.

Use the scrambler.
Aye, aye, sir.

What's wrong? Take a look
Out the window. What do you see?

Nothing. What about it?

That's just the point.
There's nothing there.

Ten minutes ago, the whole
Ocean outside was alive with fish.

Now there's nothing stirring.
What happened to them?

where did they go?
That's a good question.

S.S.R.N. seaview calling.
Priority "A" emergency.

please acknowledge.

this is seaview calling.
Emergency. Please acknowledge.

Sir, I can't raise anybody.

Switch frequencies. Send
A general call in the clear.

I'll speak to anyone you can reach in
Washington. Aye, sir. I'll do what I can.

Admiral, I don't like the general
Air of this whole business.

There's something eerie
About it. Yeah, I agree.

Wait here for me. But
The washington call.

I'll be right back for it.

Chip, get me a commercial
Television channel on the view screen.

Aye, aye, sir. There are commercial
Television channels in our range.

Several. At least four at this point.
The signal should be fairly strong.

I can't seem to
Get anything, sir.

Why not? The set's
Working, and we're in range.

I don't know. There's
Just nothing on the air.

I don't get it.

No? Well, neither do I.

Nothing. Your operator can't get
Any answer from washington at all.

What the devil's happened to
Your receiver? I don't know, sir.

I've run every check I can. I could
Swear it's completely operative.

Try the a.M. Bands.
I've tried them.

Listen to this.

Nothing. That's right, sir.

It's like every radio station in the
World has stopped transmitting.

Chip, take us up
To periscope depth.

Aye, aye, sir. Take us up to
90 feet. aye, sir. Ninety feet.

- what do you see?
- nothing.

- this is a main shipping lane.
- I know.

Not only no ships in sight,
There are no planes in the air.

not even a bird.

Chip, what do you get on radar?

Nothing, sir. Not
Any kind of blip at all.

What do you make of it?

I want a meeting of these
Officers in the map room at once.

Senator, will you
Please come with me?

There it is. According to the x-4,
No nuclear subs exist in the seas.

We can observe no fish in
The waters, no birds in the air.

our instruments
Can detect no ships.

And we've been unable to contact
Any living thing, afloat or ashore.

Any comment?

- how far are we from norfolk?
- a little over two hours.

All right. Set a course
For the navy base there...

and proceed submerged
At flank speed. aye, sir.

Senator, you and I will take the
Flying sub and head for washington.

- chief, you'll come along
With us.
- aye, aye, sir.

Within the hour, we, uh... We
Should have the answer to this.

That's all, gentlemen.

Keep in contact by radio.
When you get to norfolk,

Make a full report to the base
Commander and stand by for further orders.

aye, sir. Good
Luck, admiral. aye.

All right. Sit down.

Anything unusual? Not at all.

There's the flying
Sub's blip on screen.

They're approaching
The mainland now. Good.

Mr. Morton. Excuse me, sir. Kowalski,
What are you doing out of sick bay?

Reporting back to duty, sir.

How do you feel?
Never better, skipper.

I'm sorry about what happened,
Sir. I... I still don't understand it.

Did the doc give you
A duty slip? Yes, sir.

He says I'm okay.

Very well. Take over the
Fathometer watch. Aye, aye, sir.

Keep an eye on him.

There's the virginia coast. We'll
Land in washington in a few minutes.

Flying sub 1 to national
Airport tower. Come in, tower.

Come in, tower.

Don't tell me we can't get them.

Tower, this is flying sub 1. We
Must have landing clearance.

This is insanity. I don't care
What the seaview operator said.

Your radios are
Broken, that's all.

That's easy to prove.

Flying sub to seaview.
Come in, seaview.

flying sub 1, this is
Seaview. go ahead.

sparks, I'd, uh, like to
Speak with captain crane.

crane here, admiral.
What's your position?

By now, cape charles should
Be on our starboard beam.

Good. So far, we haven't been
Able to make contact with anything.

we'll have to land in washington
Without landing clearance.

- any explanation yet?
- none.

listen to me carefully.

I don't know what's going on.
We won't know until we land.

So approach
Norfolk with caution.

understood? understood.

- all slow to one-third.
- all slow to one-third, aye.

Now what? A problem
With the fathometer.

This doesn't check out
At all with the chart.

This is all fouled up. I know.

We let kowalski out of
Sick bay a little too soon.

Kowalski, how did you
Get these readings?

I checked them five times, sir.

I guarantee they're right. Here.

- dead slow.
- maneuvering, come to dead slow.

dead slow, aye.

His figures are
Right. So is our chart.

The two don't check.

Come to periscope depth.
Five degree up bubble.

up five degrees,
Aye. level off 90 feet.

ninety feet, sir.

You see something?

It can't be. It just isn't
Possible. are we off course?

Only a couple of
Thousand miles. Take a look.

San francisco?

we're not only off course,
We're in the wrong ocean.

It's impossible.
That's all I can say.

Our last position
Check put us...

A couple of miles off the
Coast of virginia. That's right.

Then how in the name of common sense
Can that be san francisco out there?

It couldn't be. But
Take another look.

Tell me what else you
Notice about the city.

- deserted.
- that's right.

It ties in with all the other
Experiences we've been having.

Have you got an explanation? No.

I want a new course
Bearing 90 degrees, relative.

All ahead standard
At 90 feet. Aye, aye, sir.

Anything yet? No,
Sir. Not a thing.

I want to raise fs-1. Get
Me the admiral. Aye, sir.

seaview to fs-1, come in.

This is s.S.R.N.
Seaview to fs-1.

Do you read me?

Keep on it, sparks.
I've got to reach him.

It's the same everywhere.
Where is everybody?

I would be perfectly willing to
Admit that I'm going out of my mind.

It's, uh... We all seem
To be in the same boat.

Yeah.

We couldn't find
Anything. How about you?

I went to my office.
It's just the way I left it.

No significant messages,
No sign of disorder.

just nothing. I think we
Should head for the pentagon.

There's bound to be something
There that'll give us a lead.

I disagree. It's obvious to me
The entire city's been evacuated.

only the greatest possible catastrophe
Could warrant something like this.

Do you think something
Terrible's gonna happen?

There isn't a doubt in my mind.
We'd better make tracks outta here.

- without learning
Anything more?
- we've learned enough.

What about the other
Cities? What about new york?

I say we return at
Once to the seaview.

I'm sorry, senator. I'm gonna
Have a look at new york first.

All right. Have it your way.

Here are the readings from
The navigational satellite.

We're right where we thought
We were in the first place.

Off the coast of virginia
And heading north.

How do you explain looking through
The scope and seeing san francisco?

Skipper, I'm in contact
With the admiral.

- admiral, where are you?
- we're in the flying sub
Approaching new york city.

We landed in washington.
It's, uh... It's been evacuated.

Evacuated? Why? I don't know.

All I can tell you, lee,
Is that since we left you,

We haven't seen a living
Thing... Man, fish or fowl.

Neither have we, including
In the city of san francisco.

Hmm? San francisco?

How... How do you know that?

we saw it. Or thought we saw it.

But instrumentation tells us
We're still in atlantic waters.

Well, I'm sure you are, lee.

Although there's precious
Little else I am sure of.

Except that we've got to
Find out what this is all about.

- what do you want us to do?
- head for new york harbor
At flank speed.

- we'll meet you there.
- aye, sir.

Chip, stay on this heading,
And bring us up to flank speed.

Maneuvering, come to all ahead
Flank. all ahead flank. Aye, sir.

Kowalski, come
With me. Aye, sir.

Ron, take over.

Kowalski, when you were on
Guard outside the components room,

What you saw in the
Corridor just wasn't there.

- you realize that, don't you?
- I do now. Yes, sir.

The doc explained it was
Some kind of nervous collapse.

All right. Now, having been through
It once and knowing it wasn't true,

do you think you
Could be fooled again?

No, sir, I couldn't.

No, I don't think you could
Either. And I have to find out.

will you give it a try?

If that's what you
Want me to do, skipper.

That's not an
Order. I know, sir.

All right.

We're on course and
Running at flank. Very well.

Chip, I want corridor "A" placed off-limits
To all personnel for the next hour.

the same order applies to the
Corridor adjacent to my quarters.

See that it's done.
It's very important.

Aye, aye, sir. All right.

New york looks normal enough.

Of course, it's hard to
Tell much at this altitude.

what are you gonna do?

Reconnoiter a little lower,

Then set her down on the
East river and go ashore.

Hang on.

Kowalski, this is the captain.

Kowalski here, sir.
everything secure there?

- so far, sir.
- very well.

Stand watch for 15 minutes,
Then report to me in my cabin.

Aye, aye, sir.

Kowalski?

Kowalski?

Kowalski!

Huh? Not a person in sight.

That's all we need to know. Let's
Get back to your submarine at once.

Without more investigation?
No, I don't think so.

Nelson, be reasonable. Some terrible
Catastrophe has struck the earth.

The sooner we surround ourselves
With the protection of the seaview,

The better our
Chances of survival.

I'm sorry, senator. We have to
Find out what's actually happening.

I'm not leaving here without
Landing on manhattan, and that's final!

easy, captain. Easy.

How did you get me out of there?

Kowalski reported to
Your cabin as ordered.

When he knocked on the door,
The firing began from inside.

kowalski alerted
Me, and I came running.

Did you see it?

- that thing. Did you see it?
- there wasn't anything there.

- my cabin door was broken in.
- we found your door closed
And locked from the inside.

That's what I was
Trying to prove.

Now I know what kowalski
Must've been going through.

Is that what happened
To kowalski, sir?

Yes.

He must've been going
Through the same thing.

I'm all right. I want to get up.

You've had quite a
Trauma. No, I'm all right.

captain, this is sparks. I have
Admiral nelson on the scrambler.

Take it slow. All right.

Sparks, ask him to hold.

I'll be right there. aye, sir.

Reconsider, admiral. If we
Go ashore, we're asking for it.

Let's get back to the seaview while
We can. We're staying with my plan.

Sparks, is captain crane there?
just coming in, sir. Stand by.

Yes, admiral.

We've landed in new york.
It looks deserted too.

We're about to go ashore.
The moment you get here,

I want you to form a strong
Shore party... At least half the crew.

Land them on manhattan and then
Spread out to make a thorough search.

we'll rendezvous
At the u.N. right, sir.

No, you can't risk your
Submarine that way.

I didn't get that
Last part, sir.

I didn't say anything.

Just carry out the
Order I gave you. right, sir.

I'm afraid you're gonna
Regret that order, admiral.

Shall we, uh, go ashore?

Is this our position?

As of approximately five minutes
Ago. We're making fantastic time.

Then we should be off new york
Harbor in a little over two hours.

Just about. All right.

Organize a shore party. At least 50
Men. Seventy if you can spare them.

See that they're
Issued arms. What's up?

The admiral believes that
New york's deserted too.

When we get there, we're
Gonna comb the island.

skipper, sonar contact.
Large moving object dead ahead.

Slow to one-third.

Maneuvering, slow to one-third.

one-third, aye.
Hard right rudder.

Hard right rudder. aye, sir.

It's moving right with us.

All stop. All stop.

all stop, aye.
What is that thing?

Chip, take over, will you?

Chip!

What do you see? Look...

I am looking.

I... I saw it.

Just now.

I-it was an... Enormous octopus.

It... It couldn't have
Disappeared that fast.

Maybe it was never there.

And that's what I'm afraid of.

But sonar... I heard the
Contact, saw the reading.

So did you. It was
A false reading.

Could've been caused by a
Thermal layer. I saw it, chip! I saw it!

We could be getting
Electronic feedback from the x-4.

Shall I have
Engineering check it out?

Lee, are you okay?

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Do you want the doc to
Take another look at you?

No, I...

That's it.

- of course.
- what?

The x-4.

- that's our problem... The x-4.
- how do you figure that?

Ever since the admiral
Activated that device,

We've been having
Trouble. Don't you see?

there's probably
Some kind of a...

An emission coming from
It that's been affecting us.

Probably acting
Directly on the brain!

That's it, that's it. Now,
Chip, listen to me carefully.

I want you to get the
Details from engineering.

Dismantle the x-4...
The whole thing!

- look, lee...
- don't question me!

We're going to surface,

Put the x-4 on a
Raft and set it adrift.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir. It's clear.

Well, I hope you've
Seen enough. I have.

Me too, sir. Well, I haven't.

No.

I don't mind saying it had
Me going for a moment.

That does it, sir. Let's...
Let's get out of here.

Ah. You've been
Reading my mind, chief.

Where's the senator?
Well, he's gone.

With or without him, we're getting
Back to the flying sub on the double.

Right.

Lee, we're on the surface.

As soon as the engineering
Detail dismantles

The device, we're
Ready to set it adrift.

- very well.
- captain crane, this is sick bay.

Yes, doc. Go ahead. can
You come down here?

there's something you
Ought to know about.

I'll be right there.
Take the conn, chip.

Don't do anything about
The x-4 until I get back.

Aye, aye, sir.

I just don't know
What to make of it.

Maybe you can come up
With an explanation. A radio?

Are you sure? Look for yourself.

Hi, skipper. Hi.

How you coming
Along? Oh, just fine, sir.

Doc says I can go on unrestricted
Duty in a couple of days.

Oh, good. Where'd
You get the radio?

I had one of the corpsman
Get it from my locker.

It sure helps pass the
Time. Yeah. Do you mind?

No, sir. Help yourself.

Uh, do you mind, uh, telling
Me how this passes the time?

- sir?
- it isn't working.

Well, I-I don't understand.

- there's a news broadcast on
Right now, sir.
- there's nothing on.

We haven't had radio reception aboard
This ship since before you were shot.

there's nothing on.

Well, sir, I'm listening to it.

why, they even just got
Through talking about

senator dennis and
His inspection trips.

Can't you hear it?

No.

Patterson? yes, sir?

Where did you meet senator
Dennis when he came aboard?

- I didn't, sir.
- what do you mean, you didn't?

I was repacking one
Of the auxiliary ballast

Pumps when he passed
Through my section.

I had grease all over me.

You know, I must be
The only guy on the

Crew who didn't get
To shake hands with him.

in fact, I never even
Got a look at the guy.

Thanks. Uh, take
It easy, patterson.

This is the captain.

The special engineering
Detail will belay its orders.

The x-4 will be reassembled and
Restored to full working order at once.

aye, sir.

Sir, look.

Demolition rig.

hold it right there, chief. I'll
Take your weapons, gentlemen.

Drop the belts on the deck.

Have you lost your mind?

Far from it.

I've been in complete control
Not only of my mind but of yours.

It began the moment I stepped
Aboard your submarine.

Oh, of course.

That explains what's
Been happening to all of us.

Some advanced form
Of mass hypnosis, isn't it?

It's a primitive way of describing the
Most underrated force in existence.

I can exert complete control
Over the senses of anybody I meet...

Whether I'm present or not.

It takes a skilled expert,
Of course. At the moment,

I believe I may be the
Most skilled in the world.

Oh, I don't doubt it.
Now, wait a minute.

You mean, all the stuff
We saw wasn't there at all,

Only we thought it
Was on account of him?

Something like that, chief.

Oh, well, I-I don't
Get this at all.

It's not necessary that you do.
Just sit down in the chair, please.

This is, uh... This
Is not gonna work.

It's already worked. When
Both of you are strapped in,

I'm gonna set the
Fuse and get out.

The flying sub will
Blow up, and your deaths

Will obviously be
The result of a crash.

I'm not gonna sit here like
A pigeon. Oh, but you are.

You're... Very lucky, nelson.

You were after
The x-4, of course.

Of course. And I almost had it.

You're losing your
Hold over us now.

You can't make me see
What isn't there anymore.

Not anymore.

You're... Free.

Free.

Potentially the most powerful
Weapon in the world, lee.

I imagine washington's delighted now
That you're gonna turn it over to them.

- hmm?
- I said, "I guess washington
Must be delighted"...

I wasn't talking about the x-4. I
Was referring to mass hypnosis.

Senator dennis was the greatest
Master of it I've ever known.

He, uh... He could've been
Elected president eventually.

Do you really think that was
His plan? I think it was part of it.

I think he had, uh, a fanatical ego, like,
Uh... Like all would-be world conquerors,

Only instead of overt force, he
Was going to use this power of his.

And he had me ready
To ship out the x-4.

A suggestion he planted
Just before he left the ship.

What was he gonna do with it? Well,
It's hard to say with a mind like that.

Perhaps he planned the biggest
Defense scandal in history.

You know, something big enough
To give him his first step to power.

- it would never have worked.
- well, it's academic now.

Washington has decided
To keep the secret.

There'll be a state
Funeral, of course,

And I'm afraid that you
And I will have to attend.

Admiral, in this case,
I don't think I'll mind.
