Original subtitles

Kelly, come on. Come on, Kelly.

Jody.

'Go up to the house and call an ambulance.'

'Do I see some friendlies?'

- we're friendlies. - Hop in, please.

Come inside and help get the party started.

Oh, do we need some lively young people in here, come on.

Oh, I'm sorry this is such a bore.

- I like service parties. - Well, I don't.

If I'm not working, I'd rather be diving.

You know, I start to get withdrawal symptoms

if I'm out of the water too long.

Can that be your only hobby?

What else is there?

Duty calls, come on.

- What's up? - Found him on a beach.

Out cold, drowning maybe.

We got him tubed and pumped up to a 100 percent oxygen.

Just tryin' to get him ventilated here.

'BP, uh, palpable at 70.'

'pulse, a 150 but thready.'

- oh, he really looks cyanotic. - Yeah.

Well, let's get a couple lines going.

I want cbp in the central line.

I need a 16 Gauge central cath.

And I want a peripheral line with, uh

two ounce of dopamine and 500 d-5.

Uh, start the drip at 30 a minute.

That oughta bring him up.

Let's get a portable chest and get the EKG checked.

He's vomiting. Been any vomiting or blood?

- No, no. - You pumped him out?

Yeah, he had a little water in him but he's clear right now.

I checked the tube, there's no obstruction or broken teeth.

He might have a possible skull trauma there.

Looks like he got bumped on the head or somethin'.

Did you check his eyes?

- No. - Then he could have od'd.

Uh, you better give him a liter of saline and open it wide.

Right.

Uh, and I need his skull's series.

- And his skull series. - How 'bout his eyes?

His eyes, are they contracted, d-dilated, what?

- Mid-point. - Okay.

Uh, let's push 0.2 narcan, just be on the safe...

Doctor? They're funny.

I see what you mean.

Hey, what's this?

Let's keep him alive first.

'Alright, let's get it in him.'

Uh, Dr. Berkley, telephone. This way.

Keep it lively, kid.

How are all the frogs and dogs?

Oh, got promoted to dolphins.

How about you?

- You wanna get out of here? - Can't.

Occupied.

How are you, Phil?

I'm fine.

'The analysis says a high degree of desiccation.'

- what? It says what? - 'Desiccation.'

- oh, come on. - 'I know, it sounds crazy.'

'but that's what the lungs look like to me.'

okay, I'll be right there.

Watch his iv over here.

Now, make sure he's strapped in.

- I got it. - Come on, people. Come on.

Okay. I'm shooting.

'Yeah, they're on the way.'

'You know, he's still dehydrated.'

'Yeah, and he's still not breathing.'

then I started thinking about the Navy and the budget

and all the things I really wanted to accomplish.

- Crazy stuff like that. - Excuse me.

Elizabeth, I'm sorry. There's an emergency.

A man seems to have forgotten how to breathe.

- Can I put you in a cab or.. - Forgotten how to breathe?

- Interesting. - Mind if I tag along?

Let's go.

Elizabeth? Can I talk to you?

Uh, Phil, we're sort of rushed.

Just for a minute.

I'm sorry but there's been an emergency.

'Could you make our excuses to the boss?'

okay. Sure.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, congratulations.

- Who's that? - Phil roth.

He just got the command of sea quest.

The Navy's new super research submersible

and I guess he wanted to talk about it.

Doug, you're not gonna believe this.

- Doctor? Are you staff? - Navy.

They can't get a decent portable chest, can they?

Order one of this.

I did, you're looking at them.

This guy's have it, I'm afraid.

Question is, how did he walk around the streets

with lungs like that?

Why isn't he sweating?

I don't think that'll make too much a difference.

Can you get a skin biopsy?

We'd have to move him to county.

I'm afraid no one can offer much

to someone with desiccated lungs like that.

- If that's what they are. - 'I beg your pardon?'

was he found anywhere near the ocean?

Yes, he was.

Doug, I wanna bronch him.

Are you sure you wouldn't just like to go back to the party?

Doug, I wanna bronch him.

I'm looking into the base of the left bronchial branch.

Getting down into the lung stem.

Now, I can see..

Elizabeth?

- Call an ambulance. - Elizabeth, what is it?

If I told you, you wouldn't believe it.

- Just call an ambulance. - Look.

If you've got a theory, let's have it.

The man is dying. I know how to save him.

Now, g-get those lights off and get the tubes out of him.

We can't just release him to you.

It's twelve feet to that door.

Either you're going to help me get him out of here

or I'm gonna do it myself.

Doctor, we can't just let him go.

Well, doctor, I am taking him.

You heard the lady.

Ma'am, where are we going?

The fast way to the ocean.

I'll take him now.

Come on, breathe.

'Breathe.'

'Come on, breathe.'

After two weeks, he was able to leave the pool

for short periods.

And we began physiological studies.

The evidence shows a humanoid being

only marginally equipped for life on land.

As tests indicate his eyes to be light sensitive

we have prepared a pair of dichroic glasses for him.

'He tires easily. Any physical exertion will exhaust him.'

in addition, we find that within 12 hours

out of the water, actual physical deterioration begins.

The first signs of which, are the prominent

discoloration of the extremities.

Within 16 to 20 hours

if not returned to a water environment

'the subject will suffer extensive skin cracking'

pulmonary insufficiency, cardiac arrest

and finally, death. However...

Doctor, uh, perhaps you could finish off with the technical

side of this presentation. Uh, the admiral...

The admiral's doing just fine, Ainsley.

Go on, doctor, and take your time.

However, in the water, a different picture emerges.

He appears to be perfectly adapted to aquatic life

'displaying great strength and agility.'

the chest cavity has Gill-like membranes

in place of normal lung tissue.

Skin appears humanoid but with dolphin characteristics.

- No keratin layer in his skin? - None.

Eyes are cat-like in action.

'Able to see at ocean depths in almost total darkness.'

where are you keeping him?

At the moment, he's in the testing lab.

He's quite docile and co-operative.

And he's becoming as curious about us as we are about him.

Alright, you can stop..

He hasn't spoken yet, though he's obviously teachable

and has vocal equipment.

I have the impression that he understands a good deal

but chooses not to speak.

Psychologically, he appears cool and calm at all times.

'If he has emotions, he conceals them.'

What are you, a Turkey? You just get off the boat!

- 'What's wrong with you?' - 'Freak!'

'May I take your order, please?'

'may I take your order, please?'

'May I take your order, please?'

'your order, please.'

his diet is kelp and plankton.

As for his origins, well, he's given us very little to go on.

'Watch it, you nut!'

'Hey, you silly fool, get out of the street.'

'Hey, what are you doin'?'

'One moment, please, for the overtime charges.'

'that will be one dollar.'

'hello?'

'is this the party that placed'

'the call to Seattle, Washington?'

'Hello?'

'is anyone there? This is the operator. Hello?'

'operator, is anyone there? Hello?'

non verbal associative tests indicate possible amnesia.

So, we took every scrap of information we had

and fed it to the wrw-12000 at the defense department.

And the computer sent back an answer.

'We're not sure what that means, and quite frankly'

we don't know if there are any more like him.

But we do know we have

the absolute obligation to protect him.

While we are finding out everything we can about him.

Doctor... I've got several pieces of underwater hard work

put together by the best

scientific geniuses in the country.

They lift 2,000 tons from a depth of 20,000 feet.

Track a target in the ocean six miles down.

Take divers down to a depth of 3,500 feet

and bring 'em back up again.

Can your man do as well?

I'm not sure. We haven't had the money to find out.

Well, you have it now.

And now, I think I'd like to meet this fellow.

Of course.

He's.. I-I looked everywhere.

But he's gone.

Mark!

Mark, why did you..

Uh, this is admiral Pierce.

'He's come here from Washington to meet you.'

'he's a very important man, he's going to help you.'

we call him Mark Harris.

How are you, son?

I wanna know his speed, agility, strength and stamina.

Start testing right away.

The admiral wants me to help keep an eye on him.

Uh, lieutenant, what is the admiral's primary interest?

National defense.

Put him under pressure.

We're ready.

Okay, Mark.

He's at 15,000 feet.

Take him to 20.

Mark, we're gonna take you down to 20,000 feet.

'We're taking you down to 25,000 feet.'

Holy mackerel.

Thirty thousand feet.

Good morning, doctor.

The admiral has a job for your fish.

- His name is Mark Harris. - Dr. Merrill.

Two weeks ago, we lost sea quest

at the bottom of the Mariana trench.

'I need your man to find it and help us recover it'

'with the bodies of the crew.'

did you say sea quest?

She wasn't told?

With commander roth?

Perhaps, you'd like to sit down, doctor.

No, I'm fine.

You were saying, admiral?

It'll be a secret mission with the appropriate cover.

Well, by the way, all information regarding

project Atlantis, including your man's existence

is now classified.

It's better for us, safer for him.

What happened to sea quest?

Went to lay down a package of seismic probes

fell off the scope of 36,000 feet.

Most advanced technology we own.

One of a kind, now it's lost.

Surely, you've tried to locate it.

Sent down a lot of expensive hardware

but we still haven't found it.

We're gonna have to use your man to get a handle on it quickly.

He'll be under escort and tethered

while he's in the water.

I'm sorry, admiral, but Mark Harris

is not a piece of hardware.

That's why I'm asking you to handle him for me.

Admiral, I think it would be best

if you made your request to Mark himself.

Doctor, I think I understand your feelings.

Good morning, sir.

Hey!

Hey!

Look here, you know who this is?

- This is the... - It's okay, Ainsley.

Lieutenant Ainsley tells me

that you didn't understand my orders, son.

'What was it you didn't understand?'

well, let me explain it to you again.

Wednesday, you leave on a ship.

'Then you go into the ocean.'

you help us find a piece of equipment that we've lost.

Then you come right back.

You understand?

'I think I better explain it to you a little differently.'

all this is my responsibility.

I look after it for the government

and the people.

I help defend the country.

Country. Our country.

'And I give orders.'

orders are when people older and wiser

tell us what to do

we do it.

That's how we get things done, by obeying orders.

And as long you're here, you'll have to obey orders too.

'You understand?'

Better not.

Ainsley!

Stop! I order you to stop.

You heard the lieutenant, you've got an order to stop!

Keep him away from the water!

Alright, buddy, now just take it easy.

Ah!

'The water. Keep him away from the water.'

get him off! Cut across, don't let him out of the pier.

- Stay in front him. - Come on!

Ah!

Hold it! Hold it!

Take it easy. Don't hurt him. Take it easy.

Mark!

Mark!

Mark, the admiral came to see me yesterday.

He wants to know if you'll help him recover the submarine.

As a favor to him, not an order, a favor.

'I would like you to stay too.'

but not like this. Only because you wanted to.

Do you understand?

Mark, I'm going to try to talk to the admiral.

'To get an agreement between the two of you.'

will you trust me?

That way, you both get what you want.

Mark finds your sub, you let him go home.

Doctor, if he's suffering from amnesia, as you reported

going home seems unlikely.

Medical science can't determine the duration of his amnesia.

But one thing is certain, Mark wants to return to the ocean.

He wants to be free.

And with no tether line?

I'm sure he won't go in the water with it.

You'll have to trust him.

- And with one supervisor, you? - I'm the only one he trusts.

Doctor, you better be right.

This is the submarine that went down.

Mark?

There were two men on board. Commanders Hendrix and roth.

'You find us the sub and the bodies of the men'

and I'll consider your request.

It's not a request, admiral. It's a deal or it's...

Yes, doctor.

This man has a name, Mark Harris, and he has rights!

I know his name and I know his rights

and I don't need any rudder orders from you!

Yes.

I say yes to the admiral.

I say yes.

How you doin'? Welcome aboard the oak river.

One of you must be Dr. Merrill.

Elizabeth merrill.

Well, I'm Ernie Smith, master diver.

- Mark Harris. - Hey.

We're gonna be divin' buddies.

So, you're gonna be runnin' the show, huh?

- That's right. - Hey, good deal.

Well, come on, let's go meet the officer in charge Mr. Johnson.

Come on, follow me.

Well, let's see what we have here.

As I understand it, Ernie is going to take

Mr. Harris down on the platform

and, uh, he's going in at 200 feet.

What sort of rig are you using?

Uh, Mr. Harris will be testing some new equipment.

A re-breathing turtle pack with self-heating neuro light suit.

Yeah. Well, we still kinda like our old Kirby morgans.

But then we could be a little old-fashioned there.

What do you think, chief?

Well, keeps their tails from getting

caught in the cracks.

You have tails?

Yeah, they put 'em in the same time they put in the gills.

I see.

Oh, these divers and their jokes.

Oh, by the way, doctor, my orders show that

Mr. Harris isn't going to use a tether line.

- I take it, that's not a joke. - Correct.

Nobody steps off 200 feet without a tether.

Well, Mr. Harris does.

This new equipment requires exceptional freedom.

Now, are there any other problems?

Alright, I suppose you know the area you'll be working

is close to the spot where the sea quest went down.

We know.

And where the Russian research sub was lost last year.

No, I didn't.

And a French sub went down there about a year ago.

'It's a very dangerous part of the world.'

This is our deck d compression chamber.

Deep diving system Mark two mod zero.

You wanna see who's on TV? Come on, watch your step.

- Is that one of your divers? - That's right.

- How deep does he go? - Seven, eight hundred feet.

And when he comes up, you put him in there?

Yeah, sure, for a couple of days.

It's better to have gills like you.

Are you giving me the razz?

- 'Rather put my head on this... ' - hey, popeye!

Where's the five you owe me?

Where's the broad you owe me, you yo-yo?

This is popeye, big as an ox and twice as smart.

Now, this is, uh.. I'm sorry, what's your name again?

- Mark Harris. - Mark Harris.

He's a civilian diver.

Gonna walk off the stage over by Harmony Ridge

and, uh, very good with the razz.

How 'bout some coffee?

Harmony Ridge, uh, isn't that the place

where we heard those funny sonar blips, remember?

- Yeah, yeah, the signals. - What signals?

Oh, yeah, those, sure, those funny signals.

'Right. That's right.'

yeah, I wonder what could've caused them.

Sea monsters!

There are no sea monsters in the place

you call the trench.

Well, I don't know. 36,000 feet down.

How do you know?

I have been there.

I like him.

Are we close to your home, Mark?

You still remember nothing

about where in the ocean you come from?

Perhaps, when I am deep in the ocean, I will remember.

Perhaps, when you're deep in the ocean

'you'll forget about us.'

no.

Mark, I want you to look at something.

This is a miniature transponder

and it sends signals through the water.

Tomorrow, I want you to swallow it.

So wherever you go in the ocean, we'll be able to follow you.

No, it's not that we don't trust you.

We just wanna keep track of you for your own safety.

'Go to your stations, all special'

'sea and anchor detail.'

'Muster all divers from the diving station.'

Transponder capsule reads five by five at 0847 hours.

Program for tracking, optimum.

Okay, Ernie, all systems go.

'Fine, all systems go.'

You're coming up on 150.

'You're coming up on 200.'

okay, Ernie, you're on station.

Okay, we're hanging loose at 200 feet.

We're gonna go take a little walk around. Come on.

Ernie, I have to explain something to you.

The special equipment Mark has

is more special than we've told you.

'It will allow him to go much deeper than anyone knows.'

okay.

Actually, the whole matter is highly classified.

Then don't tell me.

You've gotta know, Ernie, because soon you're gonna see..

Don't tell me nothin'. I don't wanna know nothin'.

Look, he's a terrific guy.

Whatever he's had done to him is okay with me.

He's my..

Friend.

He's on the bottom, Ernie.

Thirty-six thousand feet. Seven miles.

Ernie, there's something else.

He's gone.

Did you expect something like that?

This is fantastic.

'What a beautiful day.'

'Welcome.'

'as per your briefing instructions'

'please proceed to the changing rooms.'

'then follow corridor 14 to the reception desk.'

'we are happy to have you with us.'

Fantastic.

Do I look like a grumpy driver?

Oh, madame.

- Tres Jolie. - Merci.

Sure gonna miss the world series.

Well, it's a better life than missiles.

- Corridor 14. - After you.

Professor, what do you think?

Oh, look at this oriented statues.

Missiles, you bet it's better than missiles.

- Would you like to go to in? - Oh, yes. This is amazing.

I thought this country was in the loop, professor.

Looks very real to me.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - How are you?

'Would you like to register please?'

- oh, certainly. - Certainly.

- Pen. - Yes. Thank you.

And would you care to put on your color-coded

identification bracelets?

You'll find them very helpful here.

Where is Mr. Schubert?

He's rather busy this morning.

But, he'll see you. After the orientation.

Ha. My very own Mickey mouse.

Mr. Schubert said we'd all be working together

in the high energy lab.

Why don't you register

and slip on your bracelet?

Before signing anything

I'd like to verify that the facilities

are as advertised, and that no

military applications are permitted.

- Here, let me do it. - We all insist.

Thank you.

Now, will you all follow me, please?

Good morning, sir.

Would you like to put on your color-coded

identification bracelet?

What is that?

Here, let me do it.

Would you sign in, please?

'Welcome, young man.'

It's a pleasure to meet you.

I'll take care of our friend.

Name's schubert.

Come on.

You've given us a nice surprise.

We expected four new members and we got five.

Tell me, how did you manage to get here?

- I swam. - Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Yeah, and a fish told you

how to reach our door.

I do not speak the language of fish.

The inner current took me to the deep sound channel

and I listened to the whales talk.

I felt the presence of your submarine and I followed it.

You do a lot of that, do you?

Following submarines through pitch black darkness

at the bottom of uncharted oceans.

You're a clever fella.

By the way, I apologize for that little problem

the identification band.

'Personally, I can't stand them myself.'

but most people here find they come in handy.

You take mine.

Now.

Tell me who you are and what's your purpose in being here?

I am Mark Harris.

Yeah.

You're quite an unusual fella.

We're gonna have to get to know you better.

Get some rest.

Later on, I'll show you what some peaceful scientists

have created at the bottom of the sea.

Yeah.

'It's a little reminder to all of us'

that we still have a few i's to dot and t's to cross

before we get the results of..

..Experiment we're workin' on.

And that's all gonna click into place shortly

with the help of a few mathematical folks.

The very ones that were on that submarine you followed.

We brought up the diver and commander Johnson

has ordered an s and r unit.

With all that precautions we've taken

I can't understand how you could lose him.

He just fell off the scope.

Then check the scope.

I'm keeping our line open for any news.

Find him.

Garbage.

The mathematicians are redoing there computations.

They better get crackin' or we're gonna miss the bus.

And I need that other report.

I wanna know all about our unexpected visitor.

I wanna know exactly what I have here.

Before we came along, the idea of a sea mountain habitat

was just a bunch of chicken tracks on a piece of paper.

But we made it work.

And I'll tell you the secret.

Make friends with the ocean.

Emil?

Tell us what you are up to.

Our ultimate aim is

to adapt ourselves to life in the ocean

by creating homo-aquatis

the water breathing man.

You believe that's possible, Mark?

Water breathin' man?

When he learns to breath water

he will be other than a man.

That's a most

philosophic observation.

Charming.

When it comes to ocean science

well, quantum jumps ahead of the rest of 'em.

Everything here comes from the sea.

Power, light, air, food, everythin'.

Here.

Come on. Try it.

Won't kill you.

Trust me.

Plankton.

By golly.

Right.

I figure you to be a marine biologist.

You heard about us from some colleague and you stowed away

in our shuttle to see for yourself.

I'm a citizen of the ocean.

Well..

Well, we got a lot in common.

I was a sea-goin' junk-man for 20 years.

Until I got smart.

And now that I am smart

and rich, and difficult

I get what I want.

We are now at plus four.

Base line studies are complete.

Tm is good.

Wave transformation is good.

Neurons firing at ten to a minus twenty.

Mr. Schubert requests priority scan

and skin structure anomalies.

'Well, now, professor, tell us about your whales.'

being a mammal

the whale has a culture

and a refined system of communication.

We have been working on computer translation

of their language.

Mr. Schubert is interested...

Virginia.

Mark knows the language of whales.

What are they sayin', Mark?

They tell me they wish to go home.

No, nobody here wants to go home.

He is correct, Mr. Schubert.

I'm gonna have to convince you

to spend some more time with us.

No contact so far.

The search and rescue unit's making another pass

through the trench.

Your assumption is..

He's trapped on the bottom?

Well..

It is possible that he just..

Forgot about us and took off.

Do you believe that, doctor?

No.

Well, then you keep searching.

'My people tell me that all of this is the best'

'that the human race has produced.'

'well, even if they weren't, I don't believe'

'in lettin' anything go to waste.'

the ocean is full of stuff.

Wonderful stuff.

I'm savin' it from the madness up there.

You know what I mean by madness?

- I learned. - Yeah.

For 3000 years, they've destroyed

our land, air, water.

Now, they're gonna finish each other off

in one last big war.

How do you know that?

Well, mainly..

..Because I'm gonna start it.

You see, Mark

I have studied the human animal

not just from books. Close up.

And I've come to the conclusion, there's no hope left for him

but to start all over again.

But this time, add some courtesy

good manners, a touch of discipline.

Now, take these folks.

Outstandin' scientists, everyone.

They all hate war.

All fed up with what they had to do in their own countries

just wanting the chance to work on pure science.

And they will, someday. Maybe.

Mark!

My bracelets make it easy.

No stress, no strain

no searching the soul, and so forth.

Yeah, but you can't do that with four billion people, can you?

Look at this stuff!

All that's left of Russian spy ships, CIA aircraft

French super subs filled to the brim with secret hardware.

I find it and fix it up, and put it to work.

I am the original recycle king.

You see that map?

We're watchin' every nuclear missile carryin' submarine

and ship in the world.

Hundreds of them carrying thousands of missiles

each one aimed at a target in somebody else's country

and all ready to be fired in case of war.

We know their exact positions

the exact status of each missile

and where each one is aimed.

Now, can you imagine what could be accomplished

'if one man could get control of all that power'

'for just 30 seconds?'

well, I've done it.

Switch to another system.

It's a curable problem.

We are prepared for human error.

'Go back to your station, Phil.'

Philip.

No.

Now, I understand your world

and you are wrong.

Uh.

The human animal continues to amaze me.

Here, put this on.

Thank you.

'Very shortly, a signal will be generated'

'from this undersea mountain'

to every missile-carrying vessel in the oceans.

That signal will penetrate every electronic defense

override every fail-safe system

and cause every sea-goin' missile in the world

to destroy its pre-arranged target.

And we will sit out that mess.

We're gonna shake our planet

down to her roots.

'Then, we're gonna get her up to speed again'

'with fewer but considerably better quality people'

'folks like you.'

just like you.

I want you to think about that

as you go back to your quarters.

And thank you.

'I'm sorry you fellas didn't have the gumption'

to go the whole way with us.

There would have been places for both of you in my world.

'But if you can't take the heat'

you have to get out of the kitchen.

And that's a pity.

Help me.

Alright, listen to me.

Breathe deeply.

Breathe once more.

Hold on to me.

The report on Mark Harris.

What took you so long?

Chemical anomalies required re-screening.

And our friend's adornment?

'Too bad we don't need it now.'

by the way, George.

We'll be having a celebration shortly.

There'd be a hot time in the old town tonight.

Alright, George.

Check the cage for two bodies.

If you don't find them, scour every water chamber

and tunnel in the habitat.

We may have a water-breathing man among us.

But treat him with care.

Listen to me. Get the others.

Take the bands from their wrists

lead them to the submarine.

But the sea lock.

Door to the sea, closed.

- I will open it. - But.. Schubert..

Signal beam, setting off missiles.

'He has to be stopped.'

'Good to see you, Mark.'

I've been expecting you.

But what took so long?

Turn off the signal beam.

Open the door to the sea.

Open it yourself, my friend.

Merely depress the lighted button.

'Yeah.'

yeah, I know.

Forgive me.

My affliction is the result of a warped adulthood

coupled with an insatiable desire to be friendly.

And I do wanna be friendly with you.

Come join me, Mark.

'Let's be friends.'

I liked you when we first met

but now that I have read this report on your innards

I really like you.

'Because I know you.'

I know all about you.

Where you're strong.

Where you're weak.

I could blind you with light.

Or fry you with ultrasonics.

Or just keep you away from water and watch you gasp

like a fish on the desert.

I sure could.

But I don't waste treasures

that come to me from the ocean.

Besides, we gotta stick together.

Survival is not only the reward of the fittest

it is our obligation.

Alright.

In return for your friendship

I'll trade the lives of those lesser people

who apparently wish to leave my home.

Our home.

Yours and mine, Mark.

Here.

You do the honors.

The gate to the sea and freedom for your friends.

Come on.

Right this way.

That's right.

Calm down.

Take the finger off the switch.

Didn't I raise a red switch? I'd never lie to my friends.

Mark, you're gonna learn to love me.

Now, turn off the signal beam.

Your signal beam cannot be stopped.

The countdown sequence is automatic.

Can the mountain be flooded with water?

Yes.

This room, all the rooms, everything?

Yes.

Will that stop the signal beam?

I don't know.

Do it.

Hurry. Hurry.

- God. - Let's go.

Come on.

- Someone's down! - I can take him up.

I can help him up.

Let's go!

Hold on! Hold on!

Help! Help me!

Now, open the door to the sea.

'I was afraid this would happen, doctor.'

I'm sorry, admiral.

'You must be taking it hard.'

yes, we are.

'We'll miss him.'

yes.

Yes, it is a great loss.

'Mark, my boy!'

it was a Valiant effort.

Nonetheless..

It was merely an effort.

I look forward to our ne..

A water-breathing man.

What a waste.

Mm. Maybe a hot time in the old town tonight.

'Commander Johnson forwarded the particulars.'

'the secretary was gratified to learn of the recovery.'

he's been in touch with the various foreign embassies

relative to the safety of their nationals.

Elizabeth..

But for your perseverance

'we wouldn't have known Mark Harris.'

I'm sorry he was lost.

We..

We all did our very best.

Thank you, admiral.

Mark.

Mark!

Are you alright?

Is something wrong?

No. No, nothing's wrong.

What I'm trying to say, Mark

is that the good people of this world

have to stick together.

- What do you think of that? - I think you are right.

Well, then you've decided to accept my offer.

You are a good man, admiral.

I cannot know your world as you do.

You cannot know mine as I do.

Let us stay each in our own world.

No, I'm sorry, Mark, it won't work.

We're already into your world.

You could help us go into it in the right way.

You don't need me.

You have your machines.

Machines aren't gonna be able to do what you can do

for a long time.

And right now, we have a lot of problems to solve.

Scientific, medical, defense.

And some not-too-friendly people out there.

You helped us get rid of one Mr. Schubert

'but there are others.'

- he is dead, isn't he? - I did not see him die.

He wasn't trapped when that undersea mountain flooded?

I was not trapped.

Is he alive?

I do not find Mr. Schubert

to be a man who gives up easily.

Let us say goodbye now.

We don't have to let you go, you know?

Thanks for what you've done for us, Mark.

Hey, Mark!

Hey, the doc's been looking for you.

- Thank you, Ernie. - Hey, uh..

You know, there's something I've been meaning to ask you.

Uh, you and the doc got a little somethin' goin' on there, hmm?

What does that mean?

Oh, boy.

Sometimes, I don't know what to make of you.

'You're one in a million.'

thank you, Ernie.

- I'm leaving. - Oh?

Hey, well, we're sure gonna miss you and all that razz, huh?

Well, keep your ears clean.

Mark?

Again, there is something wrong?

No.

Nothing.

Just emotions.

Feelings.

Explain "Feelings."

I don't know if I can.

Water from your eyes, twice.

Explain.

Well, when you get..

Attached to someone

and you're close..

You feel happy.

And when you lose them..

You feel sad.

Sometimes, you cry.

You don't cry?

I have something to say to you now.

I shall call you Elizabeth.

Keep your ears clean, Elizabeth.

Who taught you to say that?

It's not a custom among divers when saying goodbye?

I guess so.

It tastes of salt.

I will remember you.

Mark?

Come on, breathe. Breathe.

Come on!

I would like you to stay, too

but not like this.

Only because you wanted to.

May I take your order, please?

Is this the party that placed a call to Seattle, Washington?

Thanks for what you've done for us, Mark.

You have tails?

Yeah, they put 'em in the same time they put in the gills.

It's better to have gills like you.

Are you giving me the razz?

Sea monsters.

There are no sea monsters in the place you call the trench.

- 'How do you know?' - I have been there.

I like him.

You still remember nothing about

where in the ocean you come from?

Perhaps, when I'm deep in the ocean, I will remember.

Perhaps, when you're deep in the ocean

you'll forget about us.

You'll forget about us.

Mark.

I have not learned enough.
