GOOD EVENING,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

THIS IS BAINBRIDGE WELLS
BRINGING YOU ANOTHER EPISODE...

IN MY CONTINUING
FILM SERIES...

SCIENCE ON THE MOVE.

I AM SPEAKING TO YOU NOW
FROM THE SHORELINE...

OF TINY MURRO ATOLL,

SOME 800 MILES DUE WEST
OF THE COAST OF CHILE,

WHERE FOR YEARS
THERE HAVE BEEN
PERSISTENT STORIES...

OF A SEA MONSTER
WHICH IS SUPPOSED
TO INHABIT THESE WATERS.

OH, YES.
[ Device Humming ]

THIS LITTLE DEVICE
I HAVE IN MY HANDS IS
AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR STORY.

WE MIGHT CALL IT
"SEA MONSTER BAIT."

ACTUALLY, IT IS
AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
DESIGNED TO EMIT...

ULTRASONIC SOUNDS
WHICH SHOULD HAVE
A MOST DISTURBING EFFECT...

ON OUR DENIZEN
OF THE DEEP,

IF, IN FACT, SUCH A CREATURE
ACTUALLY EXISTS.

AT ANY RATE,
I SHALL CONTINUE
TO OPERATE THIS LURE...

AS A PART
OF MY LITTLE EXPERIMENT
IN HOPES...

THAT IT MAY PRODUCE SOME SORT
OF TANGIBLE RESULT THAT I...

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.

WE'RE READY TO SECURE
LOADING OPERATIONS, LEE.
WILL YOU OKAY THE MANIFEST?

FINE. BUT HOLD
THE SAILING ORDER
UNTIL I GIVE YOU THE WORD.

WHY? IS SOMETHING UP?
I DON'T KNOW.

WE'VE GOT A CIVILIAN ABOARD
IN CONFERENCE WITH THE ADMIRAL.

DID YOU EVER HEAR
OF BAINBRIDGE WELLS?

BAINBRIDGE WELLS,
THE SCIENTIST? SURE.
THE ONE WITH THE TV SHOW.

I LIKE TO WATCH HIM
WHENEVER I CAN.
YEAH, WHO DOESN'T?

WHAT'S HE DOING ABOARD?
TRYING TO TALK THE ADMIRAL
INTO A MISSION, I'D IMAGINE.

A MISSION
WITH BAINBRIDGE WELLS.
WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING?

NOT MUCH CHANCE OF THAT, CHIP.
THE ADMIRAL ISN'T EXACTLY
A BAINBRIDGE WELLS FAN.

HERE.

FRANKLY, WELLS,
I DON'T LIKE ANYTHING
YOU STAND FOR.

[ Chuckles ] YOU CAN'T BE MUCH
PLAINER THAN THAT, ADMIRAL.
BUT I EXPECTED AS MUCH.

IN WHICH CASE, THIS VISIT
HAS WASTED YOUR TIME
AND MINE. GOOD DAY, SIR.

NOW JUST A MINUTE, ADMIRAL.
I EXPECTED RESISTANCE,
BUT NOT DISMISSAL.

I'M NOT FOND OF BEING
TREATED LIKE A SCHOOLBOY.

YOU KNOW MY ATTITUDE TOWARD
PEOPLE WHO EXPLOIT SCIENCE
FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH ENDS.

PARTICULARLY PEOPLE
WITH AS FEW REAL QUALIFICATIONS
AS YOU HAVE.

NOW WHY DID YOU INSIST ON
COMING HERE AND PUTTING US BOTH
IN THIS EMBARRASSING POSITION?

BECAUSE I NEED
YOUR SUBMARINE.

ITS INSTRUMENTATION,
SCIENTIFIC CAPABILITIES...
I MUST HAVE IT.

TO CAPTURE THAT MYTHICAL
SEA MONSTER OF YOURS?

NO. FOR A PURPOSE
I THINK EVEN YOU'LL GRANT
IS A WORTHY ONE.

I WANT TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE
OF AN ENTIRELY NEW AND
UNSUSPECTED BIOLOGICAL SPECIES.

NOW, ISN'T THAT WORTH
THE COST AND EFFORT
OF AN EXPEDITION?

YES, YES, WELL WORTH IT,
IF I COULD SEE ANY POSSIBILITY
AT ALL OF SUCCESS.

BUT SINCE I DON'T, MR. WELLS,
I MUST RESPECTFULLY DECLINE.

I'LL HAVE YOU
ESCORTED ASHORE.

AT THE HEIGHT OF THE ATTACK,
I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO TAKE
A SINGLE PICTURE.

- YOU HAVE THE NEGATIVE OF THIS?
- AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I DO. WHY?

I'D LIKE TO STUDY IT.
A NEGATIVE IS ALMOST
IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE.

- AND IF YOU FIND IT LEGITIMATE?
- WE CAN BE READY TO SAIL
TOMORROW MORNING.

MAKE ALL PREPARATIONS
TO GET UNDER WAY AT ONCE.
THIS IS YOUR COURSE.

MURRO ATOLL? LOOKS LIKE
BAINBRIDGE WELLS DID
A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF SELLING.

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, CHIP.
I WOULD HAVE BET
A MONTH'S PAY AGAINST HIM.

HE MUST BE ONTO SOMETHING
REALLY BIG.

OKAY, SET UP YOUR
SPECIAL SEA DETAIL.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

NOW, HEAR THIS.
SPECIAL SEA DETAIL
WILL LAY UP TOPSIDE.

MAKE ALL PREPARATIONS
TO GET UNDER WAY.

[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, SIR.

HI, CHIEF.
HI, PATTERSON.

HEY, PATTERSON!
YEAH, WHAT'S UP, CHIEF?

- WHERE YA GOIN'?
- THE PHOTO LAB.
I GOT THE FIRST WATCH.

DON'T YOU KNOW WE'RE GETTING
UNDER WAY? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
ASHORE ON EMERGENCY LEAVE.

OH, THAT. WELL, I WENT
TO MR. MORTON AND
I CANCELED IT.

YOU JUST CANCEL IT, HUH?
I BREAK MY BACK
GETTING YOU THIS LEAVE,

AND THEN YOU JUST
TURN AROUND AND CANCEL IT
JUST LIKE THAT, HUH?

- [ Snaps Fingers ]
- SORRY ABOUT THAT, CHIEF.
BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS.

I'LL SEE YOU AROUND.

NOBODY TELLS ME ANYTHING.

I SEE IT,
BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT.
DOES THIS THING ACTUALLY EXIST?

I ASSURE YOU IT DOES, CAPTAIN.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ESTABLISH.

HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA FIND IT?

THE SAME WAY
I FOUND IT ORIGINALLY.

MR. WELLS HAS CONTRIVED
THIS DEVICE AS A LURE.

IT PRODUCES AN ULTRASONIC
SIGNAL WHICH HE CLAIMS
WILL ATTRACT THE BEAST.

IT WORKED ALL TOO WELL
THE FIRST TIME I USED IT.

THIS TIME, WE'LL BE READY
FOR IT WHEN IT ATTACKS.

I'VE DRAWN UP A LIST
OF PREPARATIONS.

LEE, LOOK THEM OVER. HAVE
EVERYTHING READY BY THE TIME
WE REACH THE LAGOON.

- [ Knocking ]
- COME IN.

OH, EXCUSE ME, SIR.
YOU SENT FOR ME?

YES, PATTERSON.
I'D LIKE TO HAVE
AN 8-BY-10 BLOWUP OF THIS.

AYE, SIR.
NOW WAIT A MINUTE,
PATTERSON.

THIS PICTURE'S
THE ONLY TANGIBLE
EVIDENCE YOU HAVE.

NO, NO, I'VE SEEN THE NEGATIVE.
THE PICTURE AND WHAT
I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES.

I CAN STILL SEE IT.
THE WAY IT CAME CHARGING
FROM THE LAGOON...

HEADING STRAIGHT
FOR MY CREW.

I WARNED THEM TO STAND STILL,
BUT IT DIDN'T HELP.
THE CAMERAMAN PANICKED,

THE REST FOLLOWED SUIT,
AND THE MONSTER ATTACKED
AND KILLED THEM.

NOW WHAT ABOUT THE FILM
IN THE MOVIE CAMERA?
DID IT SHOW ANYTHING?

THE CAMERA WAS SMASHED
IN THE ATTACK.
THE FILM HAS DISAPPEARED.

BY NOW, IT'S PROBABLY
AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE LAGOON.

CARRY ON, PATTERSON.
AYE, SIR.

IT'S TOO BAD ABOUT THE FILM.
IT MIGHT HAVE TOLD US
SOMETHING ABOUT THE ATTACK.

PERHAPS. WE'LL NEVER KNOW,
OF COURSE. IT'S GONE NOW.

WELL, WE'LL FIND
OUR OWN PROOF ONCE
WE GET TO THE LAGOON.

I'LL WORK
ON THE LIST RIGHT NOW.

[ Liquid Pouring ]

HOW MUCH OF THIS STUFF
DO WE LOAD, CHIEF?
40,000 UNITS.

40,000? YOU COULD PUT
AN ARMY TO SLEEP
WITH THAT MUCH TRANQUILIZER.

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS, 40...
YOU WANNA WRITE
TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN ABOUT IT?

OKAY, OKAY,
WE'LL LOAD IT.

[ Sharkey ]
HEY, PATTERSON.

THIS IS DEVELOPING FLUID,
OKAY?

I GOT A REQUISITION FOR IT.
SURE, SURE, SURE.
NO SWEAT.

LISTEN, PATTERSON, COULD YOU
DO ME A FAVOR? HMM?

I GUESS SO.
WHAT IS IT?
TAKE A LOOK.

HOW 'BOUT THAT, HUH?

NOT BAD.
NOT BAD?

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, KID.
SHE'S GORGEOUS.

OKAY, SHE'S GORGEOUS.
LISTEN.

THE NEXT TIME YOU HAVE
A COUPLE OF SPARE MINUTES
IN YOUR DEVELOPING ROOM,

COULD YOU MAKE ME
A BIG PICTURE
OUT OF THIS?

OH, YOU MEAN AN 8-BY-10?
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

SURE. NO PROBLEM.
ONLY... ONLY DON'T
LOSE THAT COPY.

BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY PICTURE
SHE HAD, AND I WOULDN'T WANNA
BREAK THE POOR KID'S HEART.

SURE, I UNDERSTAND, CHIEF.
RIGHT.

BUT I'LL TELL YA.
IF SOMETHING DID HAPPEN
TO THE PICTURE,

I COULD ALWAYS STRIKE OFF
A COPY FROM KOWALSKI'S PRINT.

KOWALSKI?
YEAH. HE'S GOT ONE
JUST LIKE IT.

SEE YA LATER.

KOWALSKI!

- GET THE LEAD OUT,
OR YOU'RE ON REPORT.
- WHAT?

THE BOTTOM'S SHOALING
A THOUSAND YARDS AHEAD, SIR.
THAT'S MURRO REEF.

BRING HER TO DEAD STOP.
AYE, AYE.
ALL STOP.

[ Man On Speaker ]
AYE, AYE, SIR.

ADMIRAL, WE'RE HEAVING TO
JUST BEYOND MURRO REEF.

[ Nelson ]
VERY WELL. I'LL JOIN YOU
IN THE CONTROL ROOM.

SKIPPER, CAN I HAVE
A WORD WITH YOU?
YEAH. WHAT IS IT, PATTERSON?

I'D LIKE PERMISSION
TO MAKE A DIVE IN MURRO LAGOON.

YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT,
PATTERSON. ALL DUTY REQUESTS
GO THROUGH CHANNELS.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, CHIP.
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND,
PATTERSON?

SIR, I THOUGHT SINCE THIS IS
A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION, YOU'D
BE SENDING OUT A DIVING PARTY.

I WANNA BE ON IT.
AND, UH, IF WE DON'T SEND OUT
A PARTY OF DIVERS?

- I'D LIKE PERMISSION
TO GO ANYWAY, SIR.
- I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

CHIP, I WANT A 360-DEGREE SCAN
OF THIS AREA ON SONAR.

IF ANYTHING UNUSUAL
IS MOVING OUT THERE,
I WANNA KNOW ABOUT IT.

AYE, AYE.
ALL RIGHT.

- HOW CLOSE ARE WE
LYING TO THE REEF?
- LESS THAN A HUNDRED YARDS.

GOOD. HOLD THIS POSITION.
I'LL NEED YOUR BEST UNDERWATER
PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THIS DIVE.

- WHO IS IT?
- WELL, UH, LET'S SEE.

I AM, SIR.

WELL, YOU'RE CERTAINLY
NOT LACKING IN SELF-CONFIDENCE,
ARE YOU?

NO, SIR.
I CAN HANDLE THE JOB.

- THIS JOB'S IMPORTANT
TO YOU, PATTERSON?
- YES, SIR. VITALLY IMPORTANT.

WHY?

A WHOLE CAMERA CREW WAS
WIPED OUT ON MURRO ATOLL, SIR.
I WANNA KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED.

NOW COME ON, PATTERSON.
THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THAT.
TELL US THE TRUTH.

WHY DO YOU REALLY
WANNA MAKE THAT DIVE?

BECAUSE I WANNA KNOW
HOW THOSE MEN DIED
AND WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE.

WHY DOES THIS MEAN
SO MUCH TO YOU?

THE CAMERAMAN ON THAT CREW
DIDN'T PANIC, SIR. I'D BE
WILLING TO SWEAR TO THAT.

- HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH
ABOUT THE CAMERAMAN?
- HE WAS MY FATHER.

CHIEF, WHAT ARE YA BUGGIN'
ME FOR? I GOT ORDERS.

I DON'T CARE
WHO GAVE YOU THE ORDERS.
IT'S AGAINST REGULATIONS.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
HERE, CHIEF?
NOW LOOK, MR. MORTON.

THE BOOK SAYS THAT NO DIVER
GOES OUT ALONE.

AND IF PATTERSON
GOES INTO THAT LAGOON,
HE'S GOTTA HAVE A MAN WITH HIM.

YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE
SHOULD BE ANOTHER DIVER.
GET ONE SUITED UP.

UH, ANYBODY IN PARTICULAR?

NO, WE'RE NOT SURE
WHAT'S OUT IN THAT LAGOON.
BETTER ASK FOR A VOLUNTEER.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
ALL RIGHT, CARRY ON.

OKAY, KOWALSKI,
GET INTO A SUIT.

YOU JUST VOLUNTEERED.

ALL THIS IS COMPLETELY
UNNECESSARY, ADMIRAL.

IF YOU'LL JUST LET ME
ACTIVATE THE DEVICE, WE CAN
ATTRACT THE BEAST IN NO TIME.

I TOLD YOU, NOT YET.
WE AREN'T READY.

THE DIVING PARTY'S OUT.
THEY'VE GOT A TRANQUILIZING
MISSILE READY JUST IN CASE.

GOOD.

[ Over Radio ]
PATTERSON!

TRIPOD! I WAS RIGHT.
IF THE CURRENT CAN TAKE
THIS OUT TO HERE,

THE MAGAZINE COULD BE
CLOSE TOO.

THAT'S RIGHT.
LET'S GO!

LOOK.

MISSILE ROOM,
STAND BY TO FIRE.
[ Man On Speaker ] AYE, SIR.

- I THOUGHT YOU SAID THESE THINGS
WEREN'T MUCH BIGGER THAN A MAN.
- THE ONE I SAW WASN'T.

THIS IS AT LEAST 30 TIMES
THE SIZE. LOOK AT IT, LEE.

TRANQUILIZERS WON'T BE
ANY GOOD AGAINST THAT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.

RECALL YOUR DIVING PARTY.
SEAVIEW TO DIVING PARTY.
DO YOU READ ME?

- KOWALSKI, SIR. I READ YOU.
- SECURE THE DIVING OPERATION.

GET BACK ABOARD
AT ONCE.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

YOU HEARD HIM, PATTERSON.
LET'S GO.

THIS IS THE MAGAZINE.
I KNOW,
BUT WE'VE GOT TO GO.

IT'S VEERING TOWARD US.
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
WHERE ARE THOSE DIVERS?

KOWALSKI, COME BACK HERE. NOW!

IT'S PATTERSON, SIR.
I CAN'T GET HIM TO LEAVE.

IT'S GONE.

WHAT?
IT DOESN'T SHOW
ON OUR INSTRUMENTS.

IT COULDN'T GET AWAY
THAT FAST.
I-I-I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD.

IT MIGHT BE A THERMAL LAYER
DEFLECTING OUR SONAR SIGNAL.

OR... OR MAYBE
A ROCK FORMATION.

THAT'S POSSIBLE.
HOW CAN WE TELL
WHERE IT IS?

WELL, WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FIND OUT FAST.
TAKE OVER HERE.

CHIP.

GO FORWARD TO THE NOSE.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
AYE, SIR.

CHECK THE CHARTS.
SEE IF THERE ARE ANY
SEA MOUNDS IN THIS AREA...

LARGE ENOUGH TO BLOCK OFF
THIS CREATURE.
RIGHT.

LEE.

LOOK HERE.

YES, THOSE TWO BLIPS
ARE KOWALSKI AND PATTERSON.

YEAH, BUT THERE'S A THIRD ONE.
IT'S MOVING TOWARD THEM.

IT'S ONE OF THOSE, UH...
THOSE CREATURES.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT.
ONLY IT'S SMALLER.

NOT MUCH BIGGER
THAN A MAN.

THAT'S EXACTLY THE WAY WELLS
ORIGINALLY DESCRIBED IT.
AND THERE IT IS.

YOU MEAN TO SAY
THEY COME IN TWO SIZES?

LOOK, ALL I KNOW IS THAT THERE
ARE TWO OF THEM OUT THERE...
THAT ONE AND THE, UH, GIANT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THOSE MEN?

DON'T THEY KNOW
IT'S COMING RIGHT AT THEM?
OBVIOUSLY NOT.

KOWALSKI, LOOK OUT!

[ Creature Roaring ]

WE'VE LOST CONTACT.

RON, CHECK THE RELAYS,
QUICK.

[ Roaring Continues ]

SKIPPER!

SOUND GENERAL QUARTERS!
RIG FOR COLLISION!

BATTLE STATIONS!
BATTLE STATIONS!

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Roaring Continues ]

ALL RIGHT,
NOW WE'RE ON THE BOTTOM,

AND I DON'T KNOW
IF WE'RE GONNA BE
ATTACKED AGAIN OR NOT.

BUT UNTIL WE FIND OUT,
I DON'T WANT ANY UNNECESSARY
NOISE OR MOVEMENT.

NOW GET TO YOUR POSTS
AND STAND BY.

WHAT'S THE SITUATION?
CAN WE MANEUVER?
I DON'T KNOW YET.

ENGINEERING, WHAT'S
THE CONDITION OF THE REACTORS?

SECURE, SIR.
WE'LL STAND BY TO ANSWER BELLS.
MISSILE ROOM.

- MISSILE ROOM, AYE.
- WHAT'S YOUR SITUATION, CHIEF?

NOT TOO BAD. NO CASUALTIES.
SKIPPER, WHAT HAPPENED?

I'LL GIVE YOU
A FULL BRIEFING LATER.

RIGHT NOW, I DON'T WANT
ANY UNNECESSARY NOISE
OR MOVEMENT.

PASS THE WORD.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

FULL RESPONSE ON ALL CONTROLS.
BALLAST TANKS ARE OKAY.
AIR SUPPLY'S NORMAL.

VERY WELL.
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN MOVE.

I'LL TAKE HER UP.
NO, HOLD IT, CHIP.

- WE'VE GOTTA SURFACE SO WE CAN
DOUBLE-CHECK THE OUTER HULL.
- THAT'S RIGHT, BUT NOT YET.

- WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?
LET'S GET OFF THE BOTTOM NOW!
- NO. WE'RE STAYING RIGHT HERE.

STAYING? WHY? THAT THING'S
STILL OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.

THAT'S WHY. IF WE TRY TO MOVE,
IT'S SURE TO HIT US AGAIN.

OUR ONLY CHANCE IS TO PLAY DEAD
UNTIL IT GETS DISCOURAGED
AND GOES AWAY.

THAT'S SUICIDE!

WELLS, COME ON.

[ Roaring ]

WHAT'S IT DOING?
MOVING OFF.

I THINK THIS IS
OUR CHANCE TO GET AWAY.
ARE THE DIVERS BACK ABOARD?

NO, SIR. WE CAN'T GET
ANY RESPONSE FROM THEM.

WE CAN'T AFFORD
TO WAIT MUCH LONGER.

IF IT TURNS
AND ATTACKS AGAIN,
WE'RE FINISHED.

SEAVIEW TO DIVERS.
COME IN, KOWALSKI.

KOWALSKI, DO YOU READ ME?

I'LL GIVE THE ORDER
TO BLOW BALLAST.

CHIEF.

YES, SIR?

WE'RE GOING UP.

BUT, SIR,
THE DIVING PARTY.

THEY DON'T ANSWER,
AND WE'VE WAITED
AS LONG AS WE CAN.

SKIPPER, GIVE ME 10 MINUTES.
I'LL TAKE OUT
A SEARCH PARTY.

I'M SORRY, CHIEF.
I'M AFRAID THEY'RE
NOT COMING BACK.

AYE, SIR.

OKAY, GET YOUR THUMBS
OUTTA YOUR MOUTHS AND
POLICE UP THIS AREA!

COME ON! JUMP!

[ Muffled Pounding ]
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
HOLD IT. HOLD IT.

SKIPPER, THIS IS SHARKEY.
EMERGENCY!

WHAT IS IT?
THERE'S A SIGNAL ON THE HULL.
DON'T BLOW BALLAST YET, SIR.

CHIP, BELAY THAT ORDER
TO BLOW BALLAST. I'LL BE
RIGHT DOWN. OPEN THE HATCH.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
COME ON. OPEN THAT HATCH.

YOU ALL RIGHT, 'SKI?
YOU'RE NOT HURT?

WHAT WAS THAT THING
THAT ATTACKED US? IT NEARLY
KILLED US OUT THERE.

- KOWALSKI!
- SIR.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER MY CALL?
- OUR MIKES WENT DEAD, SKIPPER.
WE COULDN'T SEND OR RECEIVE.

YOU HEARD MY FIRST ORDER
TO COME BACK.
YOU DELIBERATELY IGNORED IT!

IT WASN'T HIS FAULT, SIR.
IT WAS MINE.

LISTEN, MISTER! DO YOU REALIZE
YOU JEOPARDIZED THE LIFE
OF EVERY MAN ABOARD THIS SHIP?

I DO NOW. YES, SIR.
BUT I WAS AFTER THIS.

YOU WENT OUT
WITH A CAMERA.
WHERE IS IT?

I LEFT IT OUT THERE. I COULDN'T
BRING BOTH BACK, AND I
CONSIDERED THIS MORE IMPORTANT.

IT BETTER BE. NOW, YOU GO
TO YOUR QUARTERS AND STAY THERE.
I'LL DEAL WITH YOU LATER.

AYE, SIR.

MR. MORTON.
AYE, SIR.

WHAT'S THE READING ON SONAR?
NO CONTACT NOW.
IT LOOKS CLEAR, SIR.

GOOD. BLOW ALL BALLAST TANKS
AND GET US UNDER WAY.
AYE, SIR.

[ Knocking ]
COME IN.

ADMIRAL, I'VE JUST LEARNED
THAT WE'RE STARTING BACK
TO SANTA BARBARA.

- THAT'S RIGHT.
- YOU CAN'T DO THAT. WE CAME
HERE TO CAPTURE A SPECIMEN.

ARE YOU GONNA
FORGET ALL THAT?

THAT'S PRETTY STRANGE TALK,

COMING FROM A MAN
WHO JUST AN HOUR AGO
WAS PLEADING TO GET AWAY.

YOU'VE GOT ME THERE.
I WAS SCARED STIFF.

AND I SUPPOSE SOMEHOW
I MADE A FOOL OF MYSELF.

WELL, IF IT'S
ANY CONSOLATION TO YOU,
WE WERE ALL PRETTY SCARED.

WE WEREN'T PREPARED TO DEAL
WITH ANYTHING THAT ENORMOUS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING BACK
HOME, SO THAT WE CAN BE PREPARED
THE NEXT TIME WE CROSS PATHS.

BUT WE CAN'T GO HOME
WITHOUT PROOF. NOT NOW.

WHY, MR. WELLS?
WHAT'S THE, UH, GREAT URGENCY?

[ Sighs ]
ALL RIGHT, ADMIRAL.

I'LL BE COMPLETELY FRANK.

EVER SINCE THAT ATTACK
ON THE ISLAND, I'VE BEEN
UNDER GREAT PRESSURE.

THERE'S EVEN BEEN SOME TALK
THAT SOMEHOW...

I WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE LOSS OF THE MEN
IN MY CAMERA CREW.

YOU WANT ME TO RISK
THESE MEN AND THIS SHIP
TO SAVE YOUR CAREER?

NO. YOU'RE SOMETHING I'M NOT...
A TRUE SCIENTIST.

BUT YOU'VE SEEN ENOUGH
TO BELIEVE ME.

THIS IS SOME SORT OF
NEW SPECIES.

IF YOU COULD BRING BACK
A SPECIMEN, THINK WHAT
IT COULD MEAN.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU SAW THE SIZE OF IT.

THE ONE THAT ATTACKED US
ON THE ISLAND WAS MUCH SMALLER,
HARDLY BIGGER THAN A MAN.

WE COULD HANDLE ONE THAT SIZE
WITH YOUR EQUIPMENT.

HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO DO THAT
WITHOUT DANGER OF RENEWED
ATTACK FROM THE GIANT?

OUR MISTAKE WAS
STAYING IN DEEP WATER.

LAND ON THE ISLAND, AND WE CAN
CAPTURE THE SMALLER ONE.

I'M POSITIVE.
IF YOU'LL ONLY TRY.

[ Sighs ]
A NEW SPECIES.

AN ACTUAL SPECIMEN
TO STUDY.

[ Knocking ]

OH, I'M... I'M SORRY, ADMIRAL.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE ALONE.

I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU
A REPORT ABOUT THIS.

- WHERE'D YOU GET THAT?
- IT WAS FISHED OUT OF
THE LAGOON BY THE DIVERS.

- IT'S THE FILM FROM
YOUR EXPEDITION, ISN'T IT?
- WHAT'S LEFT OF IT.

- IF IT WAS AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE LAGOON, IT'S WORTHLESS.
- I'M AFRAID SO.

ADMIRAL, I'D, UH, LIKE
TO KEEP IT, IF I MIGHT.

WELL, IT'S YOUR PROPERTY.
THANKS.

HAVE YOU GIVEN SOME THOUGHT
TO WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING?

YES. YES, I, UH... I HAVE.

ARE WE ON COURSE
FOR SANTA BARBARA?
THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, THEN COME ABOUT
AND HEAD FOR
THE MURRO ATOLL.

MURRO ATOLL? AFTER WHAT
WE'VE JUST BEEN THROUGH?
I CAN'T GIVE THAT ORDER.

BUT WE KNOW
ABOUT THE BIG ONE.
NOW WE CAN AVOID IT.

BUT WHY SHOULD WE RISK IT?
THE NEXT TIME WE MEET IT,
I WANNA BE PREPARED.

I DON'T BLAME YOU.
UNDER ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES,
YOU'D BE PERFECTLY RIGHT.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING
SPECIAL, LEE.

I WANT THAT SPECIMEN.
NOW, WILL YOU DO IT?

[ Sighs ]
ALL RIGHT, ADMIRAL.

BUT IF OUR INSTRUMENTS PICK UP
THAT THING, I'M GONNA TURN THIS
SHIP AROUND AND GET OUTTA HERE.

AGREED. NOW HEAD
FOR THE MURRO ATOLL.

AYE, AYE, SIR.

PATTERSON.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP HERE
IN OFFICERS' COUNTRY?

- I GOTTA SEE THE CAPTAIN.
- WELL, YOU'LL SEE HIM SOON
ENOUGH, BELIEVE ME.

- COME ON. GET BELOW BEFORE YOU
GET INTO MORE TROUBLE.
- IT'S MY NECK, CHIEF.

I'M NOT LEAVING HERE
UNTIL I TALK TO CAPTAIN CRANE.

- SIR, HE WAS... HE WAS LEAVING.
- THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

SIR, IT'S ABOUT
THAT CAMERA MAGAZINE
I FISHED OUT OF THE LAGOON.

I'D LIKE PERMISSION TO
DEVELOP IT. I THINK I MAY BE
ABLE TO SAVE SOME OF THAT FILM.

BUT THE FILM'S RUINED.
YOU CAN'T SALVAGE ANYTHING.
SIR, I'D LIKE TO TRY.

I'VE GOT TO.
WELL, THE ADMIRAL GAVE IT
BACK TO BAINBRIDGE WELLS.

WELLS? WHY?
WELL, IT'S HIS PROPERTY.

IT'S MY FATHER'S PROPERTY.
I'M GOING TO FIND OUT
HOW HE DIED,

AND NOTHING'S GOING TO STOP ME
FROM TRYING!
EASY. YOU'RE BLOWING YOUR COOL.

I'M ALL RIGHT!
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM, SKIP.

GO ON. GET BELOW.
JUST GET BELOW!
LEAVE ME ALONE. STOP PUSHING ME!

CHECK THE WEAPONS, CHIEF.
AYE, AYE, SIR.
KOWALSKI?

LOADED AND READY, SIR.
SO IS MINE, SIR.

ARE YOU SURE THESE WEAPONS
ARE POWERFUL ENOUGH?

THEY'VE BEEN LOADED
WITH DOUBLE CHARGES.

THE TRANQUILIZING PELLET
THEY FIRE WILL PENETRATE
TWO-INCH ARMOR AT 50 YARDS.

I THINK THEY'RE
POWERFUL ENOUGH.
THEY'D BETTER BE.

-[ Device Humming ]
-LET'S GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN.
WE'LL TAKE COVER IN THE JUNGLE.

THE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
WILL BE PLANTED
AT THE EDGE OF THE WATER.

- CHIEF, ON MY SIGNAL,
YOU AND KOWALSKI FIRE. CLEAR?
- AYE, AYE, SIR. LET'S GO.

RIGHT.
OH, SAY, ADMIRAL.

HAVEN'T WE BETTER SECURE
THE RAFT JUST IN CASE?

CHIEF, GIVE ME A HAND.

COME ON, KOWALSKI.

[ Roaring ]

THE GUNS!
WE CAN'T REACH THE GUNS!

[ Nelson ]
KEEP AWAY FROM THE DEVICE!

[ Roaring ]

[ Rifle Fires ]

WELL, ADMIRAL,
WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW?
IT'S INCREDIBLE.

YOU WERE RIGHT, WELLS.
IT IS A NEW SPECIES.

NOTHING LIKE IT
HAS EVER BEEN REPORTED.

THINK OF THE HEADLINES
WHEN WE GET BACK. WHO KNOWS
WHAT THIS WILL LEAD TO?

HONORS FROM ALL BRANCHES
OF SCIENCE.

FABULOUS OFFERS.

PERHAPS EVEN
A NOBEL PRIZE.

REWARDS? IS-IS THAT ALL
YOU CAN SEE IN THIS?

DOESN'T THE FACT
OF THE DISCOVERY ITSELF
HAVE ANY MEANING FOR YOU?

OH, OF COURSE.
OF COURSE. I...

I'M DEEPLY HUMBLED
IN THE FACE OF IT.

AND I'M VERY GRATEFUL
TO YOU, ADMIRAL.

IF YOU HADN'T BELIEVED IN ME,
NONE OF THIS COULD
HAVE HAPPENED.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T MIND,
I'LL WAIT TO CELEBRATE TILL
WE GET THIS BACK TO THE STATES.

YOU DON'T THINK
THERE'S ANY CHANCE OF IT
BREAKING OUT, DO YOU?

OH, NOT AS LONG
AS WE KEEP IT TRANQUILIZED.

- HOW LONG WILL IT
STAY THAT WAY?
- IT'S HARD TO SAY.

WE DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH
ABOUT ITS METABOLISM.

THE BEST WE COULD DO NOW
IS KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON IT.

YOU BETTER FORGET ABOUT
THIS DEVICE OF YOURS
FROM NOW ON.

IF IT'S ACTIVATED,
IT JUST MIGHT STIMULATE HIM
INTO CONSCIOUSNESS.

WELL, IN THAT CASE,
I WON'T TOUCH IT
UNTIL WE REACH SANTA BARBARA.

MMM.

[ Crane On Speaker ]
ADMIRAL, CAN YOU COME DOWN
TO THE CONTROL ROOM?

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

HOW LONG YOU BEEN GETTING
THIS READING?
JUST A FEW MINUTES.

I CALLED YOU RIGHT AWAY.
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
THAT'S THE ONE THAT ATTACKED US.

WHAT'S THE RANGE?
A LITTLE OVER A MILE.

IT'S HEADED IN THIS DIRECTION,
AND IT'S CLOSING FAST.

IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING
TO ATTACK AGAIN.
WAIT. WHERE YOU GOING?

TO ALERT THE MISSILE ROOM.
WE'LL NEED EVERY WEAPON
WE'VE GOT TO HOLD IT OFF.

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN IT'S
SMARTER TO RUN THAN TO FIGHT,
AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.

I SUGGEST YOU ALTER COURSE
SLIGHTLY AND POUR ON
ALL THE SPEED YOU'VE GOT.

WITH THIS LEAD,
I DOUBT HE CAN OVERTAKE US.
RIGHT. CHIP.

I WANT A NEW HEADING.
0-1-5 DEGREES RELATIVE.
0-1-5 DEGREES. AYE, SIR.

BRING IT UP TO FLANK SPEED.
HOLD IT THERE AT ALL COST
UNTIL FURTHER ORDERS.

- AT ALL COST?
- UNLESS YOU WANNA GO ANOTHER
ROUND WITH THAT THING!

I'LL KEEP HER AT FLANK SPEED
TILL THE REACTORS BLOW.
NOW HEAR THIS.

COME TO COURSE 0-1-5 DEGREES.
ALL AHEAD FLANK.
[ Man ] ALL AHEAD FLANK. AYE.

- COME IN, MR. WELLS.
- WHAT'S ALL THIS?

YOU'RE JUST IN TIME
FOR THE WORLD PREMIERE.

CONCEIVED, WRITTEN...

AND DIRECTED BY THE FAMOUS
BAINBRIDGE WELLS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

OH, YES. I NEARLY FORGOT.
CAMERAMAN DEREK PATTERSON.

BUT NO ONE LOOKS
AT THE FILM CREDITS.

DO THEY, MR. WELLS?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT DEREK PATTERSON?

QUITE A LOT.
HE WAS MY FATHER.

I THINK I KNOW
HOW HE DIED.

AND IT'S RIGHT HERE
ON THIS FILM
FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE.

MY FILM! YOU TOOK IT
FROM MY CABIN!

I TOOK IT FROM THE BOTTOM
OF MURRO LAGOON.

YOU THOUGHT THE WATER
RUINED THE FILM, DIDN'T YOU?

BUT I'M AN EXPERT, MR. WELLS.
I SAVED YOUR FILM.

AND NOW YOU'RE
GOING TO LOOK AT IT
BEFORE I SHOW IT...

TO ADMIRAL NELSON
AND THE REST OF THE WORLD.

PATTERSON, LISTEN TO ME.
WATCH THE FILM, WELLS.

IT'S SOME
OF YOUR BEST WORK.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

NO! THAT'S ENOUGH!
YOU'RE RIGHT,
THAT'S ENOUGH!

IT'S ENOUGH. IT'S ENOUGH
TO SHOW THE WORLD WHAT
REALLY HAPPENED OUT THERE.

YOU KNEW THAT BEAST WOULD
CHARGE TOWARD THE SOUND
THAT DEVICE MAKES.

TO SAVE YOUR OWN MISERABLE HIDE,
YOU THREW THAT DEVICE
RIGHT AT THE CAMERA CREW.

THAT'S WHY
THE MONSTER ATTACKED THEM
AND GAVE YOU TIME TO GET AWAY.

THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED,
WASN'T IT? WASN'T IT?

ALL RIGHT, YES.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO BE A FAMOUS MAN
WHEN WE GET BACK, WELLS.

YOU'LL BE INFAMOUS.

THE MAN WHO LET
THE OTHER MEN DIE
SO HE COULD LIVE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'LL
BE WRITING ABOUT YOU.

PATTERSON, LISTEN TO ME.

I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR FATHER,
AND I WANNA MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

AND I WILL,
IF YOU JUST GIVE ME THE CHANCE.

LISTEN. THERE'S PLENTY OF MONEY
IN THIS FOR EVERYBODY.

I'LL SEE THAT YOU GET SOME...
ALL YOU NEED.

ONLY DESTROY THIS FILM.

NO DEAL, MR. WELLS.

[ Device Humming ]

[ Groans ]

[ Growling ]

[ Roaring ]

IT'S ALMOST OFF THE SCOPE.
WE'RE OUTRUNNING IT.

I KNEW WE COULD.

WE'RE GETTING A TROUBLE SIGNAL
FROM THE LAB.
THE LAB?

LOOKS LIKE A BREAK
IN THE SPECIMEN TANK.

IF THAT THING
HAS BROKEN LOOSE...

LEE, SOUND THE ALERT.
CHIEF.

SIR.
YOU AND KOWALSKI BREAK OUT
THE SPECIAL RIFLES.

LOAD THEM WITH TRANQUILIZER
AND LAY DOWN TO THE LAB
ON THE DOUBLE.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
KOWALSKI.
SOUND GENERAL QUARTERS.

BATTLE STATIONS.
BATTLE STATIONS.

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

WHAT...

[ Device Humming ]

PATTERSON. PATTERSON.
[ Moans ]

CAN YOU HEAR ME?
YES. THOSE PICTURES.

THEY SHOWED...
DON'T TRY TO TALK.

THEY SHOW HOW MY...
FATHER WAS KILLED.

IT'S HIM,
BAINBRIDGE WELLS.

WELL, HE'S PAID FOR IT.
I'LL TRY TO GET YOU
SOME HELP.

LIE DOWN.
PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN.

CONTROL ROOM.

WHAT'S THE SITUATION,
ADMIRAL?

IT'S BROKEN LOOSE, ALL RIGHT.
IT GOT WELLS.

[ On Speaker ]
HE'S DEAD.
ANYBODY ELSE?

I DON'T KNOW,
BUT PATTERSON'S HURT. GET MEN
UP HERE TO GET HIM TO SICK BAY.

RIGHT.
AND, LEE.

WARN ALL CREW MEMBERS
NOT TO APPROACH THAT SEA MONSTER
WITHOUT TRANQUILIZING WEAPONS.

RIGHT. SHARKEY AND KOWALSKI
ARE ON THEIR WAY TO YOU RIGHT
NOW WITH THE SPECIAL WEAPONS.

[ Creature Growling ]

IT SOUNDS LIKE
HE'S AROUND THE BEND.

YOU SURE THESE
WILL STOP HIM?
THEY DID ONCE.

NOW, LISTEN. WE GO AROUND
THE BEND. WHEN WE SEE HIM,
WE'LL LET FLY TOGETHER.

AIM FOR THE SOFT PART
OF THE THROAT.
THAT'S OUR BEST BET.

YOU READY?
OKAY.

[ Growling ]

LET'S GO.

[ Roaring ]

[ Rifle Fires ]
[ Roars ]

HEY, GET BACK!

[ Both Panting ]

POINT-BLANK RANGE,
AND HE DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT.
[ Pounding ]

COME ON! LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE!

NOW. GOT IT?

COME ON.

GET HIM TO SICK BAY.
COME ON. MOVE!

[ Roaring ]

[ Device Humming ]

[ Humming Stops ]

[ Roaring ]

CAN'T GET THROUGH?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

IT'S THERE IN THE CORRIDOR
LEADING TO THE LAB.

WE MIGHT AS WELL
HAVE BEEN USING
A COUPLE OF POPGUNS.

THAT'S RIGHT, SIR.
IT CAME RIGHT AT US.

- WHERE'S THE ADMIRAL?
- IN THE LAB, I THINK.
I DON'T KNOW.

- WE JUST COULDN'T REACH HIM.
- CHIP, TAKE THE CONN.
KEEP HER AT FLANK SPEED.

YOU TWO, COME WITH ME.
CHIEF!

[ Crane ]
ADMIRAL.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
WHERE WERE YOU? I WAS WAITING
FOR THOSE WEAPONS.

WE TRIED TO REACH YOU, SIR,
ME AND KOWALSKI, AND WE RAN
SMACK INTO THAT MONSTER.

- WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOOT HIM?
- SIR, WE DID, FROM LESS
THAN 10 YARDS.

WE HIT IT WITH AT LEAST
FOUR ROUNDS.

- AND?
- NOTHING. NOT A THING. LIKE IT
WAS IMMUNE TO THE STUFF.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU KNOCKED IT OUT ONCE.

NOW, WAIT. IT MIGHT
NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE.
IF THE BODY'S BECOME IMMUNE,

I DOUBT IF ALL THE TRANQUILIZERS
IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE
AN EFFECT ON IT.

THEN HOW DO WE STOP IT?

[ Sighs ]

CHIEF, ORDER THE MINI-SUB
RAISED WELL CLEAR
OF ITS LAUNCH HATCH.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
SEE THAT ALL
WATERTIGHT DOORS...

LEADING TO THIS DECK
ARE CLOSED AND DOGGED,
ALL OF THEM!

- AYE, AYE.
- LEE, KEEP ALL THE PERSONNEL...

AWAY FROM THE MISSILE ROOM
TILL YOU HEAR FROM ME.

[ Humming ]

[ Humming Continues ]

[ Man On Speaker ] SKIPPER,
THIS IS THE MISSILE ROOM.
GO AHEAD, MISSILE ROOM.

SIR, THE MINI-SUB'S BEEN RAISED
FROM ITS CHOCKS AS ORDERED.
THE DECK HATCH IS CLEAR.

VERY WELL. I WANT ALL PERSONNEL
OUT OF THE MISSILE ROOM,
ON THE DOUBLE. EVERY MAN.

BUT, SIR, IF THAT MONSTER
BREAKS IN HERE WITH ALL
THIS EQUIPMENT WE'VE GOT...

YOU'VE GOT YOUR ORDERS.
NOW CARRY THEM OUT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Humming Continues ]

SIR, ALL WATERTIGHT HATCHES
LEADING TO THIS SECTION ARE
CLOSED AND DOGGED AS ORDERED.

GOOD. CHIEF, UH,
WAIT HERE WITH ME.

WELL, I THOUGHT MAYBE
I COULD DO SOMETHING
TO HELP THE ADMIRAL, SIR.

YOU CAN HELP HIM
BY STAYING RIGHT HERE.

IF HE'S TRYING TO MAKE HIS WAY
TO THE MISSILE ROOM, HE'LL
NEVER GET PAST THAT CREATURE.

AND I THOUGHT MAYBE
IF WE COULD CREATE SOME KIND
OF DIVERSION OR SOMETHING, SIR...

NO, CHIEF. WE'RE GONNA
FOLLOW OUR ORDERS TO THE LETTER.

NOW, DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THE ADMIRAL REACHING
THE MISSILE ROOM.

- HE'LL FIND A WAY
TO GET THERE.
- AYE, SIR.

SKIPPER, THE CREATURE'S
TEARING DOWN CORRIDOR 6, HEADING
STRAIGHT FOR THE MISSILE ROOM.

CHIP.

TAKE THE CONN.
I'M GOING TO THE MISSILE ROOM.
HOLD IT, LEE.

YOU HEARD WHAT THE ADMIRAL SAID.
ALL PERSONNEL ARE TO STAY CLEAR
OF THE MISSILE ROOM.

YOU THINK
I'M GONNA LET HIM BE KILLED
BECAUSE OF AN ORDER?

[ Humming Continues ]

[ Roaring ]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I AM NOW.

WHERE IS IT?
IT'S BACK IN THE SEA
WHERE IT BELONGS.

[ Sharkey On Speaker ]
SKIPPER, EVERYTHING'S
OKAY DOWN THERE?

FINE, CHIEF.
SECURE THE ALERT.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

DOWN IN SICK BAY, THEY WANNA
KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT PATTERSON.
WHAT ABOUT HIM?

HE'S STRONG ENOUGH
TO GET UP,

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER
HE'S UNDER ARREST OR WHAT.

SEND HIM BACK TO DUTY.
AYE, AYE, SIR.

[ Hangs Up Microphone ]

ONE THING STILL
BOTHERS ME, ADMIRAL.

THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO MORE
OF THOSE CREATURES OUT THERE,
AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY MORE.

WELL, WE MIGHT COME BACK
FOR 'EM SOME TIME
WITH THE PROPER EQUIPMENT.

BY THAT TIME,
WELLS, IN SPITE OF HIMSELF,

WILL HAVE LEFT
A REAL LEGACY TO SCIENCE.

I DON'T KNOW.
A MAN LIKE HIM, IT JUST
DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.

WELL, IT ISN'T!

WELL, LET'S HEAD
FOR HOME.
