Original subtitles

Where do you think we are, Joe?

In trouble. We're lost.

The typhoon last night really blew us off course.

Well, there goes number one.

But that other one's okay, isn't it?

Yes, so far.

If it quits, we've had it.

'You in shape to swim to Australia?'

Swim? Why do it the hard way?

We'll use the rubber boat.

Look, over there.

That's an island. Let's check it out.

Not much room left between us and the ocean.

Well, there goes the radio.

Looks like a beach down there.

'Port engine's heating up.'

'Yeah, we'll have to land.'

Any sign of life?

Nothing I can see.

'Do not land here.'

'It will mean your certain destruction.'

Well, that was something

And it's alive.

Whatever it is, it doesn't sound too friendly.

Certain destruction. Is he kidding?

One engine gone, the radio out.

Hang on, buddy. Here we go.

Okay, skipper.

'Keep away. You must not land in here.'

Atmospheric disturbance.

We'll have to go through it.

Looks like it's gonna be a short landing.

Unfeather that right engine.

'And start it.'

Start.

Ah, let it windmill.

Ah, see? I told you there was nothing to be nervous about.

Oh, I wasn't nervous.

Paralyzed.

You know, you're pretty good.

Pretty good, he says.

I'm terrific.

Man, that was really close.

Yeah, too close.

Now, let's find out who belongs to that voice we heard.

Hello there!

Here comes the welcoming committee.

- I warned you not to land here. - One motor's gone.

We're having trouble with the other.

We had to land here or in the ocean.

What you yelled at us would've kept us flying if we could.

- How'd you do that? - I'm not without resources.

Can your plane be repaired?

Depends on what's the matter with it.

- You have emergency fuel? - Yes, plenty.

How quickly can you fix it?

I won't know until I've checked into the trouble.

But believe me.

It's not going to be easy to bounce off this beach.

We're sorry to have intruded on you.

My name is Mark Bradley.

The radio commentator.

Why, yes.

You've heard my broadcast back in the States?

No, here.

- Here? - By shortwave.

You're on your way to the international news conference

in Melbourne, aren't you?

That's right.

This is gonna make me a little late for the opening ceremonies.

I still don't know who you are.

You may call me Mr. Paul.

Very well, sir.

You here on a vacation?

- I live here. - Really?

The island didn't look civilized from the air.

And you're too far from civilization to be a traitor.

I came here to get away from civilization, Mr. Bradley.

I was successful.

Until a few moments ago.

- Oh. - Urana!

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

They come in threes.

Yeah, man.

I told you to stay in the shelter.

We just wanted to see them, father.

- They're beautiful. - You've got that backwards.

What's you name?

I'm Mark Bradley and this is Joe Walker, my pilot.

Let's start this from right to left?

You first.

I'm Mercuria.

This is Venus.

'And Urana.'

'Our father named us after the planet.'

Urana's the baby.

I'm not a baby, I'm 16.

You're much prettier than the men we've seen in books.

You're the first live young men we've ever seen.

We almost weren't.

Alive, that is.

Please check the damage to your plane.

Oh, sure.

Go ahead, Joe.

- May we go watch, father? - Hmm?

Oh, yes, I suppose so.

It certainly looks complicated.

Looks like we got a busted fuel pump and clogged gas lines.

That's rough. It's gonna mean a delay.

You mean you think I'd like to stall around here?

Alright, I'll put it another way.

I'm happy to report we've got a busted fuel pump.

- What about the spare? - It's still a two day job.

Tear down the whole bank to get at it.

With a little effort, I could stretch it into three days.

You mean you'll be with us three whole days?

I can't offer you lodging, gentlemen, but..

at this time of year the weather is quite pleasant here.

I think you'll find the beach quite comfortable.

For the two days you stay here.

Of course.

They'll eat with us in the shelter, won't they, father?

Yes. Yes, of course.

You design these swimsuits yourself?

Yes. We got the idea from the Greek tunics

out of one of father's books.

But they're not swimsuits.

It's so warm here, we dress like this all year round.

Here's where we live.

In a cave?

Wait till you see it.

Must be an electronic eye.

Yeah. Say, your old man's pretty sharp.

Come in, gentlemen. Come in.

Well, what do you know.

Books, furniture.

If there's another place like this

on the island, I'll take it.

It's amazing.

Now, lighting. How do you get your power?

I have solar furnace. It was quite a project.

Look over here.

Through these panels, we collect the rays of the sun

to operate the power plant.

You've certainly done wonders.

There must be an interesting story behind all this.

There is.

- Mind if I take a look around? - Go ahead.

And then, this is another one I like.

"The rise and fall of the Roman Empire."

Then there's "Little Women" and "Jurgen".

I don't understand everything but I like them.

I'd like to show you something we're very proud of.

'Father built it himself.'

This must be the shortwave set your father mentioned.

It's our only contact with the outside world.

That's my pet program.

We hear you on that station every week, Mr. Bradley.

Hey, wait a minute.

We can use that transmitter to tell the network what happened.

- They must be-- - We have no transmitter.

'There's no way of getting a message away, Mr. Bradley.'

You'll have left, long before your network becomes too upset.

If we don't arrive in Melbourne tonight

they're gonna be real upset.

They'll have a search party on the way within hours.

'That's what I'm trying to avoid.'

Mercuria. Why don't you and Venus get started

on some food for our guests?

Yes, father.

Won't you help your sisters?

I have to gather the eggs.

- You wanna come with me? - Sure.

That's the way I like my eggs, gathered.

Sit down, make yourself comfortable.

Thank you.

I suppose you do deserve some sort of explanation.

You'd like to know why I'm here.

Alone, with my daughters.

Yes. Yes, I would.

It started with the dropping of the atom bomb on Hiroshima

fifteen years ago.

I was one of the many scientists

associated with the development of atomic energy.

I was led to believe that the bomb itself

would be used only as a threat.

So you ran away.

No, sir. I made my choice.

'Had a young wife, three small children.'

We converted everything we owned to cash

and sailed for Honolulu.

There I accumulated what I would need here, everything.

I bought an old inter-island trading schooner.

- Escapism. - That's just a word.

I was concerned with reality.

I did what I thought was right.

Whatever it's called, half the world

wish they could do the same.

Sure. Just a chance to live at peace with your children.

Did all this by yourself?

No. No, I hired two native seamen to man the schooner.

They stayed here for 3 months, helped me build this shelter.

And we're the first men you've seen in 15 years.

Yes. Frankly--

You can't wait till we leave.

I wish you'd never come.

Have you found everything you expected here?

Didn't your wife miss the world?

My wife? Oh, no.

Before she died, our life here was perfect.

We had each other, our books, our hobbies and the children.

And we kept in touch. We heard what was going on

on the outside through our radio.

I'd like to ask one more question.

Well, what is it?

I can't help but be curious about your daughters' future.

How they're going to lead normal lives

without families of their own.

You think I haven't worried about that a great deal?

I keep telling myself that it's better for them

to remain unmarried than to go back to

what I still believe is certain death.

Isn't that a bit cowardly?

Not to go back and fight for what you really believe in?

That fight was lost at Hiroshima.

Some of your best wine, father for such a special occasion.

Where's Mr. Walker?

Gathering eggs with Urana.

Venus will be here with food any minute now.

I'm in charge of the chickens.

And I take care of the garden, too.

Mercuria is in charge of us girls.

She weaves our clothes out of goat's wool

and a loom that father built. Venus is the cook.

- I'll get the eggs. - Let me get them.

They're over there, just lift up that board.

"Dr. Paul Lujan."

"California Institute."

Are you glad I asked father if I could walk with you?

Sure, I'm glad.

I'm just a little surprised he let you go.

Because you're a man and I'm a woman?

Well, that's part of it.

Men and women should be together.

It's a natural thing, isn't it?

Why should father object?

Well, I had the impression he's a little bit strict with you.

About those questions you wanted to ask me..

Oh, let me see.

Suppose you tell me about your life.

Is it exciting?

Yes, yes, I think so.

I get to travel, I meet interesting people.

Been just about everywhere, haven't you?

What kind of things do you like best?

Oh, good plays, opera, football, baseball..

I've heard baseball games on our radio.

They don't sound very exciting.

I think I'd be more interested in the shops.

Plays. Oh, and men, of course.

The thing I think I'm most interested in is men.

Do you dream much?

Uh, the average amount, I guess. Why?

Well, almost every night I dream I'm just floating along.

It's the most wonderful feeling.

That's quite a common dream.

Is there a copy of Freud in your father's library?

I haven't read it. Freud, you said?

Yes, you see, he has some interesting theories

about what dreams really mean.

I'll ask father if he has the book.

'You do that.'

Perhaps tomorrow, you and I could lie on the beach.

You could read what Freud says about dreams.

Would you like that?

Sure, but..

You know, I'm beginning to think you're afraid of me.

- Should I be? - 'Of course not.'

You're very tall, I like that.

I like being with you.

Father asked you to come back now.

It's time for bed.

I suppose that was your idea.

That's right.

Lead the way, little sister.

I will, with you.

Did you kiss her?

- What? - Did you kiss her?

No, I didn't.

Hmm, she must be terribly disappointed.

Will you please be quite?

- She hoped you would. - I did not.

- You did. - Now, wait a minute.

Now, what on earth makes you think that?

I'm a woman.

You're not. You're nothing but a spoilt child.

I'm a woman and women know about other women.

I'll tell you something.

You better kiss her tomorrow or she'll never forgive you.

You know, you are a spoilt child.

You don't believe me, just look at her.

Father, will you please do something

about your outrageous child?

Why, what did she do?

She said the most embarrassing things about me.

In front of Mr. Bradley.

'Embarrassing and untruthful.'

Well, Urana. What did you say?

I don't care to discuss it.

Except, every word I said

was absolutely true and she knows it.

Goodnight, everyone.

There's your bedding, Mr. Bradley.

Come along, girls.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Goodnight.

I'll bet he's moving the furniture against that door.

He doesn't trusts us.

I wish we had a locked door.

I don't trust those young ladies.

One touch of Venus, huh?

Five years.

Hmm?

That's how long we've been together.

Everywhere. The works.

Yeah, and this tops them all.

An island that's not on the map complete with gorgeous gals.

Crazy, but nice.

You're missing the story. All you can see are the girls.

Who did the vanishing act with Venus tonight?

Never mind that.

No, the old man's the real story.

You know who he is?

No. No, not yet.

I do.

How? Mercuria tell you?

Nope.

You're not the only one with a nose for news.

I saw his name stenciled in the chicken coup.

'It's built out of old packing crates.'

Well, who is he?

Dr. Paul Lujan.

Home base, California Institute.

- Lujan. Yeah, that figures. - Yeah? Tell me.

He's one of the scientists who helped discover atomic power.

- Worked with Dr. Einstein. - No kidding.

He's one of the leading authorities

on nuclear fission in the world.

Hey, he's not gonna like you broadcasting where he is.

That's the point. I want the story on the wires.

I wanna fly out of here by tomorrow night.

- I'll try. - That's not good enough.

You gotta do it.

Hmm. Okay, let's get the ol' eight hours.

I'm really beat.

Suppose they're up yet?

Not if they're in their right minds.

While you're working, I wanna get pictures

of Lujan and the girls.

Wait. I'm the cameraman and I wanna be there

when you tell Lujan.

Okay, snap it up.

And that pumps gonna take more that one day to fix.

- Hurry up, if you're coming. - Alright, I'm hurrying.

'Hold it right there.'

Just a minute, Joe.

Say, "Cheese."

Well, saying cheese makes you smile.

Cheese.

Swell, got it.

Take one of me alone.

I haven't had one since I was a baby.

- Okay. - 'Good morning.'

- 'Good morning.' - What's happening?

Taking pictures. Stand next to Urana, please.

And say cheese, it makes you smile.

Cheese.

There.

They've been taking our pictures, father.

We want you in the next shot. Dr. Lujan.

Run along, girls. I..

..want to talk with these gentlemen alone.

Alright, father.

So you know who I am, Mr. Bradley.

- Great pity. - My good luck.

You're the object of one of the greatest manhunts ever.

Now that you've found me, what do you intend to do?

Well, I'm a newspaper man.

You're news, doctor.

- 'World news.' - I gave up your world.

'I told you why.'

I don't go along with your thinking.

I'll make you a proposition.

If you promise not to divulge what you've seen on this island

'I'll permit you to leave.'

Look, we gave our position before our radio went out.

If we don't get to Melbourne, there'll be a search party

that'll put your utopia right on the map.

If that's your answer, they won't find you.

How do you think they gonna miss seeing our plane on the beach?

It won't be there.

What does he mean, it won't be there?

I don't know.

I'd better get that plane fixed before that roof caves in.

Yeah, it's obvious he won't listen to reason.

Now we've gotta get out. Pronto. I'll work on that fuel pump.

'That may not be necessary.'

I hoped and prayed that no one would ever disturb

our isolation here.

But if they did, I knew I had to be ready for them.

That look's like a Luger.

It was Luger, until I put this on it.

What is it now?

Condensed flamethrower.

You certainly don't intend to use it.

That depends entirely on you.

'You have only to give me your word.'

You're front page news, doctor.

What I told you still goes.

Very well.

You must be proud of yourself, doctor.

For a man who hates violence.

I warned you, told you what'd happen.

But you wouldn't listen.

- So.. - So now what happens?

I'm not sure. I..

I need time to think.

And what do we do while you're thinking?

Whatever you like.

What happened?

Your father destroyed our plane.

But why?

To stop me from telling where he is.

You know how he feels about that.

Yes, but now you can't leave.

'That's right.'

'Joe and I have families and friends.'

They probably think we're dead.

That's why we've got to leave.

The only way is to build a raft.

But we need tools.

Can you get them for us?

Father wouldn't let us.

He has no right to keep us here.

You must realize that.

You've got to help us.

I'm sorry, Mr. Bradley.

Looks like we struck out, buddy.

Shall we swim?

Father, we wanna talk to you.

- Yes, dear. - What are you going to do?

It doesn't seem fair to keep them here.

We'll see, I haven't decided yet.

Is it alright if we talk to them?

Yes, if you want to.

But don't you wanna talk to them?

After all these years, you've never had anyone

to discuss things with.

Mr. Bradley is awfully intelligent.

Don't you think so, father.

Yes, I'd like to talk to him.

I'm afraid it's not possible.

You've always said nothing is impossible.

If you could be friends and leave it up to them..

Please, father.

You could at least try.

Let's see.

Why don't we just clobber that son-of-a-burn

genius and take over.

That's no good. We need the girls on our side.

We start rousing the old man, around they'll never help us.

Gentlemen.

My daughters have suggested that I offer you a truce of sorts.

No deal, doctor.

We're getting off this island.

Oh. In the meantime, if you'd care to..

..you're welcome to come to dinner.

Thanks.

Anytime.

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could kick an anvil.

I wouldn't either. But he's got one good weapon.

And I don't mean that flamethrower.

What's that?

That dinner he offered us.

Yeah, man.

They're here! They're here!

Come on in.

Your father asked us to dinner.

We're so glad you accepted.

Now, let's not stand on ceremony.

Where's the food?

I'm delighted you came.

I'm delighted you asked us.

While the girls are getting dinner ready

I thought you'd be interested in seeing my laboratory.

Yes, I certainly would.

You go ahead, Mark. I'm a fool at peeling potatoes.

Care to use me in the kitchen?

We'll find something for you to do.

- Can you cook? - Can I cook?

You've never tasted anything till you've sampled

my barbecued buffalo..

Well, come along then.

I'll get the vegetables.

Your pilot's quite a character.

Yes, he is. One of the best. Also a good friend.

Your cigarette, Mr. Bradley.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You surprised, eh?

That's putting it mildly.

This is my world.

I brought it with me when I left yours.

What's the ultimate purpose of these experiments, doctor?

I spent 20 years trying to enrich natural uranium

into the isotope U-235.

It took all the resources of the United States

to build the equipment to carry this off.

Well, I felt there must be a simpler way.

I think I've found it. Here's the way I enrich the uranium.

I have a stage reactor to melt it down

into slug form with heat from my solar furnace.

This is the natural uranium.

First, I insert it into this special container.

And I push this..

..into the reactor.

You operate this from a distance?

Oh, yes, it's radiation all over.

Now, Mr. Bradley, if you'd look through that reactor periscope

you'll see how I load the charge into the first tube.

- 'Now, can you see clearly?' - 'Yes, fine.'

'Uh, the depth of that well is about 38 feet.'

This rod forces up another rod vertically

'as you see.'

'There now, the first canister is loading.'

'With that small electromagnet coming up towards us..'

'..I'll transfer the isotope which is being processed'

'into this second canister.'

'Now we're ready to lower the first canister.'

'After it's been enriched, say 20%'

I transfer it to the next tube and continue the process.

Isn't there any danger that something could go wrong?

Yes, if I accidentally loaded two highly charged pieces

into the same tube

well, then I'd have an uncontrolled chain reaction.

After all, that was the atom bomb.

I check this every 12 hours

because everything in that pile is constantly getting richer.

You're on a 12 hour shift.

Yes, that's right.

Look through that again.

'Now, you see that second canister?'

'Yes.'

If it was lowered into the container beneath it..

Then, the big blowup.

Yes, except for that panel.

'That tells me if the reaction is too fast or too slow.'

What's in there?

Oh, that's my storeroom, where I keep chemicals for my research.

Some of them are dangerous, so I keep it locked.

Oh, radar.

Yes. A powerful acquisition, radar.

It warns me if a ship or plane comes within 200 miles

of my island.

It's my burglar alarm.

What if a ship did approach?

I destroy it.

Why didn't you destroy us?

- I don't know. - I think I do.

It's because you were telling the truth

when you said you hated violence.

Yes, I do hate it.

But if he has to, I guess every man will kill

to protect what he loves.

Excuse me.

Are you saying if Joe and I try to leave, you'd try to kill us?

Yes, Mr. Bradley.

I would.

Well, you heard what your father said.

Yes.

We've got to get away from here.

Will you help us?

We'll have to build a raft.

We'll need tools and a safe working place.

Alright, we'll bring them tonight.

There's a cove where you can work without father knowing.

We'll show you.

You mustn't tell Urana.

Here, I think that'll be enough.

What's the matter?

You all look as if you'd lost your best friend.

We thought we'd lost you.

Come on, we'll all help with the dinner.

Hey, you're supposed to relax after dinner.

And I still don't get what we're building this for.

We gotta make Lujan think we've decided to stay.

Here, are these alright?

These'll work out fine. Thanks.

Father's gone to bed.

- How about Urana? - She's asleep, too.

Where's that cove you mentioned?

Come on, we'll show you.

What do you think? Enough wood here?

Could be. That raft will have to be plenty big though.

You can work here without being heard.

Good.

Father never comes to this side of the island.

When you leave, take me with you.

You're very sweet.

But this is gonna be rugged enough.

Those waves are as big as a house.

I wouldn't be afraid. I wouldn't be in the way either.

I can cook and I can swim like a fish.

Tell you what, when we reach the mainland

I'll make arrangements to come back here for you. All of you.

How's that?

I don't want you to go, but I know you must.

Yes, we have to.

But we will be back.

- Promise? - I promise.

Come on, Joe, let's get started.

Oh man, I'm bushed.

That axe weighs more than I do.

Well, that's four down, one and a half stripped for use.

It's not bad.

How do you feel, muscles?

Uh, numb. I'm asleep. Remind me to close my eyes.

Lujan may check up on us, so we're sleeping

where we did last night.

- What are you doing here? - I thought you'd be lonesome.

Venus and Mercuria were here. I was awake when they came back.

They stopped by to ask if we needed anything.

Really? Well, they're both asleep now

so no one knows I'm out.

Aren't you glad to see me?

Of course, I am.

But growing girls need their sleep.

Tell you what, I'll walk you back to the shelter.

I'm not a growing girl, I'm grown.

Well, you'd know it too, if you took your eyes off Venus.

- Come on. - You'll be nice to me?

- It's a deal. - Alright.

I have to tell you something about us.

Us?

Just because I lived on this island

please don't think I don't know anything.

I've read all the books almost in father's library.

All the books about men and women and love.

I'm not as innocent as you think I am.

When I first saw you, it did something to me.

I analyzed my feeling.

The books are full of things that happened to me.

They happen when a girl falls in love.

The thrill of being near you.

With you.

When I saw you, I felt it for the first time.

It was wonderful.

You learned all that out of a book?

Don't make fun of me.

This is serious, really it is.

I felt a longing to touch you.

To hold you.

I still do.

You think you're in love with me?

I know I am. I have all the symptoms.

Do you feel love towards me?

I'm very fond of you, Urana.

But I'm also fond of Mercuria and Venus.

Fond, huh?

Venus. I've seen the way you look at her.

You didn't talk to her like this tonight, did you?

I've never mentioned love

and she's never mentioned it to me.

We haven't known each other long enough.

Love is...well, it's being with someone

you just can't get along without.

That's just the way I feel about you.

It was love at first sight.

That's out of a book, believe me.

No. It's out of my heart. It won't ever change, never.

Look, you go and get some sleep.

and I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Good morning.

Well, good morning. You're up early.

We always are.

Come over here and lie down.

Lie down?

Come along.

Lie down here, on your stomach.

Hmm.

You're going to like this.

Oh, I like it already.

Only I thought your father was--

Oh, father has us do this after he's done any hard work.

Like chopping down trees.

Oh man, I'm never gonna leave this island.

Told you, you'd like it, Joseph.

Joseph? That's funny.

Why? That's your name, isn't it?

Well, yes, but nobody ever called me Joseph, except mother.

Well..

Hey, don't stop.

You must've been a handsome little boy.

Just goes to show what can happen.

I don't know.

Let's see.

I don't think so much has happened.

Oh, I tell you, definitely.

I'm not leavin'.

I wish..

You wish what?

I wish you didn't have to go.

'Hey, Joe!'

Uh, good morning.

All the comforts of home.

Best looking masseuse in the business.

Are you sure we have to leave?

Yes, I'm sure and so are you.

I'd better go. Father would worry about me.

May I burrow that, Mercuria?

- Of course. - Thank you.

- Good bye, Joseph. - Good bye, Mercuria.

You know, the more I think about stayin'--

Now you listen to me, Joseph.

Don't you get any ideas or you'll be seriously dead.

You heard what Lujan said.

Mm, I suppose but..

There's a pretty wonderful gal.

- I mean-- - I know, I know what you mean.

Forget it.

Carry on, good boy.

Right there.

'Mr. Bradley, Mr. Bradley.'

'Would you and Mr. Walker care to join us for breakfast?'

Would we? We'll be right there.

He can't hear me. Come on, buddy.

Would you settle over here, please?

'A plane, searching for you I'm sure.'

A 100 miles away approaching at..

...250 miles an hour.

- Father I think you should-- - Mercuria, please.

You both stay here.

'Help yourselves to breakfast.'

That isn't the real reason you got us here.

No, as a matter of fact it isn't.

- That was a pretty low trick. - Suppose that plane does land?

I'll destroy it.

No sign of an oil slick or a dye marker in this ocean.

'Small island off the port.'

- Might as well have a look. - Right.

- What the devil's causing that? - I don't know.

Anything at all down there?

No, there's not a sign of life. Let's get out of here.

Now, they're gone. That's it.

Now this island will be marked to be uninhabited.

They'll never look for you again and we'll be listed as dead.

Come on, Joe. The show is over.

We'd better get busy with that raft.

Yeah, I guess so.

I'll be right with you, Mark.

Never mind, I wanna think this out.

- He didn't want you with him. - Please mind your own business.

Urana, go tidy up your room.

Would you like to be alone, too?

No, that's where we're different.

I'd like to someone to bounce my meaner self on.

- Wanna volunteer? - If you'd like me to.

I sure would.

- Coming with us? - No, thank you.

Is there anything I can do?

No, there's nothing anyone can do.

When that plane took off, it was good night all.

- Do you want me to leave? - No, no.

Would it help if I..?

No, I I ess it wouldn't.

Would what help?

No, you're wrong, it did help.

You know, you're pretty wonderful.

You're unspoiled, you're trusting.

I just wanna help you, that's all.

I can't bear to see you troubled and discouraged.

I'd do anything.

You just stay the way you are, that's all.

Don't ever change.

Everything changes and everyone.

That's one of the truest things that father taught us.

You see it here every day.

Things grow up.

They get old, they die.

No, not really.

New things are born to take their place.

Memory of what is good and beautiful never dies.

But to have memories

there has to be something to remember.

That's true.

If we were together somewhere else back in the States, then--

Then what?

Perhaps then I could..

We're not somewhere else, we're here.

And I've got a job to do.

You still wanna be alone, don't you?

Well, uh..

Alright.

I'll go swimming for a while.

Come back, Venus, come back!

Venus, there's a shark out there.

Come back!

Go on, get back to shore.

Go on, get back there.

You alright?

Are you?

I think so.

Two arms, two legs.

That's what I went in with.

I don't wanna remember what happened out there.

I just want to remember you..

...close to me.

Mark, I've made up my mind, I'm going with you.

Listen to me.

I can't take you with us.

There are a million reasons why, but..

...I just can't take you.

Well, I'm really going to miss you, Joseph.

I'm gonna miss you.

What will you do when you get back home?

Oh, the usual things.

Then someday soon I guess, I'll look for a wife.

A house full of kids.

I never thought about such things before.

A husband, I mean.

Father always taught us not to worry about the future.

Your father is a smart man, but about that, he's wrong.

Woman should have children and a home.

That's right, Joseph.

If only you could take me with you..

But I can't.

Mark and I can handle that raft.

But if I had you to worry about, I..

Would you worry? Would you really?

You know something?

I've seen a lot of girls all over the world.

But I've never known one like you.

Ahem.

Didn't anyone ever teach you to knock?

Sorry, but the door was open.

What happened? Venus pushed you in the drink?

No, we had a little argument with a shark.

- You're okay, aren't ya? - Yeah, we were lucky.

Venus is alright too. She's back in the shelter.

I'd better go to her.

Okay, so I'm a heel. But I wanna explain.

She kissed me and I didn't fight it.

I've never met girls with such a fanatical urge for kissing.

With you, too?

You know, the way things are going around here biologically

we better get that raft ready soon.

We're gonna have to tie these logs tighter to hold together.

Yeah.

'Mr. Bradley.'

'Mr. Bradley.'

You better stop all this nonsense.

Uranus told me you plan to leave the island with Venus.

That's not true.

She probably heard Venus say she was going with us.

But I told her I wouldn't in any circumstances.

Indeed. Don't think I didn't guess

you'd try something like this.

I even toyed with the idea of letting you go.

You'd have drowned before you'd have been out a day.

'I still believe that you plan to take my daughter with you.'

You listen to me.

We're gonna finish that raft, we're gonna leave on it.

Just Joe and I.

Mark is telling the truth, father.

He won't let me go.

Go back to the shelter, both of you.

We're going to stay with them, until they leave.

You're coming with me.

No, father.

Do you really have to tell people father's here?

Yes, I have to.

Don't you understand that?

All I understand is I don't want you to go.

Right, you can tie it off there.

Get that rudder rig and bring the gear aboard and secure it.

We've been at this for five hours.

You act like there's no tomorrow.

Let's quit for a while.

- We're not tired. - I'm not as healthy as you.

- How about it? - Okay.

- Let's finish in the morning. - Come on, before he changes.

It's after two. How about some sleep?

Why don't you and Mercuria stretch out over there?

When we can't stay awake any longer, we'll wake you.

And you can keep watch.

You're the most subtle man I know.

Come on, honey.

Oh.

Why're you smiling?

I was just wondering what you're father's thinking?

Please go to bed, father, you must get some rest.

I will, I will.

Look, you can't do anything as long as Venus and Mercuria

stay there with them.

Father, I did hear Venus say she was going but I think

Mark was telling the truth.

He must've told her that he wouldn't take her after I left.

I see.

But the men are still desperate enough to try it on that raft.

It's just possible they might be picked up.

And then the world will find out where I am.

Is the world really as awful as you said it is?

Yes.

It's like some horrible, great snowball

rolling faster and faster toward extinction.

- Go to bed, dear. - Alright.

I won't sleep a wink until I know you've gone to bed.

Why don't you wait till morning to figure things out?

You'll think better when you're rested.

In a little while.

Goodnight, father.

Goodnight, dear.

'When we fly back for ya, it'll be California, here we come.'

I'll show you all the sights, the desert.

We'll get Florida, New Orleans.

Oh, food like you've never tasted before.

Then, San Francisco.

Have you ever read about San Fran..?

Now can I ask you what this is all about?

Pick up that microphone and speak to Mr. Bradley.

Go on.

Tell him that I'll release you

as soon as my daughters are back here alone without him.

Hey, Mark.

'Mark, wake up.'

'I think fouled things up.'

'I'm in the laboratory at the shelter'

'staring at that ugly looking flame thrower.'

'Dr. Lujan says he'll let me go'

'as soon as the girls show up here without you.'

'Do whatever you think is best.'

That is all.

That is not all.

Let me make this very clear.

'Unless my daughters are back here alone in 20 minutes'

'you'll be responsible for what happens to Mr. Walker.'

I can't believe father would really hurt Joe.

- What shall we do? - I don't know.

Joes is likely to make a grab for that flame-thrower.

Then, anything could happen.

You both better go back.

That's all we can do.

Now, walk.

'Will you get rid of that pop-gun? It makes me nervous.'

Go in there.

Okay, open the door.

Leave the key in the lock.

'Close the door from the inside.'

You better stop here, it's not much further.

Alright, but hurry. Tell Joe I'll wait for him right here.

What're you doing?

- Put that back. - I was afraid you'd use it.

Do as you're told.

- Please, father. - Let go of it.

Venus! Mercuria!

'Venus! Mercuria!'

'Mercuria!'

Hey, Lujan!

Lujan, open this door!

Mercuria!

'Let me out of here!'

Lujan, open this door.

'Lujan!'

'Unlock this door!'

Alight, I'll get you out in a moment.

I can't get this key.

Lujan!

intense music]

- Where's Joe? - In the storage room.

I dropped the key... key on the floor.

Take him outside.

Joe!

'Are you alright?'

Joe! Come on!

Come on, let's go.

Let's get away from here, this place is gonna blow up.

Over there, over that rock.

Keep your heads down, and close your eyes.

I came in as soon as you called. When did this happen?

Our monitors picked up an atomic explosion at 3:11.

We check through with Tokyo and San Francisco.

They confirmed.

The point of detonation triangulates out here.

In the middle of hundreds of miles of unchartered water.

Not even an island that we know of.

Hello, this is Dr. McBain, Royal Australian, AEC.

Give me headquarters, American Air Force, emergency.

Mark, talk to father.

Alright.

Ironic, isn't it?

The very thing I came here to escape.

You're not to blame for all of this, doctor.

'My garden of Eden, you called it, Mr. Bradley.'

But, it's gone now.

I'm sorry.

I know how much of you was in it.

The problem is, what do we do now?

I think it's straight below, according to

the positions they gave us, but it's not there.

Smoke at 1 o'clock.

Let's go down and give it a look.

Do you hear something?

What?

A plane.

A plane!

'There it is!'

Come on, you flyboys, come on!

- I caught six people, right? - Check.

Get on the radio, alert air-sea rescue.

Give our position, ask them to send an airplane that's

capable of carrying six passengers, pronto.

He's going away.

No, he's just circling for a lower altitude.

He's got us bracketed.

Put her on down here!

Yeah!

You stay close to me, understand?

All flyers are strictly wolves.

- Wolves? - That's right.

Men who make love to girls, kiss them.

Oh, you mean men like you?

Yeah, like me. So stay close.

I will, Joseph.

You're not sorry we're leaving are you, father?

We'll see, my darling.

We'll see.

- Here comes your world. - Our world.
