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.
[ Man ]
AYE, SIR.

FOUR DAYS UNDER
THESE ICE FIELDS.

I'LL BE GLAD
WHEN WE GET OUT OF HERE.

[ Banging ]

WHAT'S YOUR READING?
MULTIPLE OBJECTS, SIR.
ALL AROUND US.

ICEBERGS?
AT THIS DEPTH?

[ Banging ]

LOOK.

[ Banging ]

[ Banging Continues ]

[ Banging Continues ]

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.
[ Man ] AYE, SIR.

[ Banging ]

IT'S ALL CLEAR.

ALL STOP. HOLD TRIM.
[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.

- DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.
- [ Man #2 On Speaker ]
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.

[ Bangs ]

WELL, THE ICE SINKS FIRST,
THEN RISES BACK TO THE SURFACE.

[ Man On Speaker ]
DAMAGE CONTROL.
ALL TIGHT AND DRY, SKIPPER.

[ Sighs ]
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.
[ Man On Speaker ]
ALL STOP.

COLD-WEATHER GEAR, SIR.
RIGHT.

- CRACK THE DECK HATCH.
- [ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.

[ Wind Whistling ]

THE SKY'S ON FIRE.

[ Man ]
VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

[ Sighs ]
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.
[ Man On Speaker ]
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?

[ McHenry ]
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.

[ Air Hissing ]

STAND BY TO LAUNCH
FLYING SUB.

LATEST SURFACE
TEMPERATURE READINGS.
MMM.

[ Sighs ] 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.
[ Chuckles ]

[ Man ] 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."
[ Man On Speaker ]
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.

LAUNCH POINT:
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.

[ Sighs ]
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.

[ Nelson ]
WE'RE JUST CROSSING THE EQUATOR.

[ Nelson ]
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?

[ Nelson ]
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.

[ Sighs ]
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.

[ Man ] ...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.

[ Knocking ]
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.

[ Coughs ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Coughs ]

[ Coughing ]

FIRE IN FRAME 42.
FIRE DETAIL ON THE DOUBLE.

[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR. FRAME 42.

[ Alarm Ringing ]

[ Alarm Continues ]

GIVE ME A HAND HERE!

[ Coughs ]
[ Alarm Stops ]

[ Coughs ]

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.

[ Sighs ]
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.
[ Chief ] 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!

[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.

WHAT STARTED ALL THIS?

[ Panting ]
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.
[ Sighs ]

I HEARD A DISTURBANCE.
WAS THERE A FIGHT?

A FIGHT?
[ Chuckles ]

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.
[ Pats On Shoulder ]

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.

[ Sighs ]
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.

[ Door Closes ]

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.
[ Chuckles ]
THANK YOU.

OH, I AM SO SORRY.

NO! NO!
WEBER, NO! WEBER, NO!

NO! HELP!
[ Screams ]

[ Electricity Crackles ]

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?

[ Man ]
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.
[ Sighs ]

ENGINE ROOM,
TIE DOWN ALL SAFETY VALVES.
GIVE ME EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT.

[ Man On Speaker ]
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?

[ Chuckles ]
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.

[ Kowalski ]
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.

[ Riley ] WE'RE NOT GONNA
STAND BY AND LET YOU
DESTROY THE WORLD, ADMIRAL.

[ Kowalski ]
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?

[ Nelson ]
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.
[ Man ] AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Footsteps Approaching ]

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!

[ Gunshots ]

STOP IN YOUR TRACKS!
PUT THAT GUN DOWN.

[ Weber ]
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.

[ Water Rushing ]

THIRTY SECONDS
TO GO, ADMIRAL.

[ Clicking ]

[ Ticking ]

TIME HAS RUN OUT, ADMIRAL.

[ Explosion ]

THERE'S LEE.
HE'S OKAY.

GIVE HIM A HAND.

[ Explosion ]

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.

[ Nelson ]
AND THE FIRE'S OUT.
I FEEL BETTER.

WE ALL DO, CHIEF.
BELIEVE ME.
