JUST DON'T FORGET EVERY KEY MAN ON
BOARD WAS HANDPICKED FROMSEAVIEW.

MARINE INSTITUTE TOPOLIDOR.
GIVE ME YOUR RATE OF DESCENT.

HOLD IT, CONNORS!

POLIDOR'S THEORETIC
CRUSH DEPTH IS 4,300 FEET.

HOW CLOSE WILL YOU LET HIM COME TO IT?

I'M GOING TO LEVEL OFF
AT 4,200.

MARINE INSTITUTE
TOPOLIDOR. CAN YOU READ ME?

SORRY, ADMIRAL. ONE OF OUR BOYS GOT
A LITTLE SHOOK UP, BUT HE'S OKAY NOW.

I HAVE A RATE OF DESCENT
OF 9-DOUBLE 3.

WHAT'S THE CONDITION OF YOUR MEN? IF
THERE'S ANY QUESTION, LEVEL OFF NOW.

EVERYTHING'S OKAY, ADMIRAL.

ALL IS FINE.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

STARRING RICHARD BASEHART,

DAVID HEDISON.

VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM
OF THE SEA.

KOWALSKI, ALL STORES ARE TO BE ABOARD
AND STOWED BY 1000 HOURS TOMORROW.

AYE, AYE, SIR. CHIP, HOW
LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU...

TO REASSEMBLE THE
INERTIAL GUIDANCE SYSTEM?

IT WAS PRETTY WELL BROKEN
DOWN FOR RECALIBRATION.

STAY WITH IT ALL NIGHT. AYE,
AYE, SIR. LET'S GO, MURDOCK.

AND-AND, CHIP, DON'T FORGET TO
RESET THE GYROCOMPASS IMMEDIATELY.

IT'LL TAKE AT LEAST FOUR HOURS
FOR IT TO SETTLE DOWN.

I'VE ALREADY
TAKEN CARE OF IT, SIR.

WERE YOU ABLE TO CONTACT
ALL THE MEN ON SHORE LEAVE?

WELL, I COULDN'T GET
AHOLD OF POWELL OR LACEY.

THEIR WIVES SAID THEY
WENT ON A FISHING TRIP.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN
EXPLANATIONS. I WANT TO KNOW...

HOW MANY MEN ARE ON THEIR WAY
BACK. SEVEN OUT OF NINE, SIR.

YOU'D BETTER SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET
THEM HERE BEFORE 1000 HOURS TOMORROW,

OR THEY'LL BE WAITING ON
AN EMPTY DOCK! YES, SIR!

[ Sighs ]

UH, LEE, YOU'D BETTER TALK
TO LIEUTENANT HENDLEY.

MAKE SURE HIS AIR REVITALIZATION
SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL.

HENDLEY WAS ON
THEPOLIDOR, ADMIRAL.

HARRIMAN, THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
WANTS A HEARING IN THE MORNING.

WE'VE JUST TALKED TO THEM. IT MEANS
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DELAY OUR DEPARTURE.

WE CAN'T DELAY.

- ADMIRAL.
- YES.

A FEW HOURS ISN'T GONNA MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE TO THE MEN OF THEPOLIDORNOW.

YOU'VE GOT
TO ACCEPT THAT.

THE COMMITTEE BELIEVES
THEPOLIDORTRAGEDY PROVED...

THAT MAN CANNOT FUNCTION
IN THESE DEPTHS.

THE EMOTIONAL STRAIN ALONE CAN
CAUSE CONFUSION AND MISCALCULATION.

PHILLIP, THAT SIMPLY ISN'T TRUE!
I KNOW WE CAN!

UNLESS YOUR COMMITTEE TAKES
AWAY OUR TOOLS... IF YOU DO THAT,

YOU'LL BE SURRENDERING UNTOLD WEALTH IN
MINERALS, FOOD AND SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION...

TO OTHER COUNTRIES WITH
GREATER COURAGE AND MORE VISION.

FORGET OTHER COUNTRIES
FOR THE MOMENT.

HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR WHAT HAPPENED
TO THEPOLIDOR? I CAN'T, NOT JUST NOW.

BUT I INTEND TO GO DOWN INTO THAT
TRENCH WITHSEAVIEW AND FIND OUT.

ADMIRAL, IS THIS YOUR
SUGGESTION AS A SCIENTIST...

OR JUST AS A MAN TRYING
TO SALVE HIS CONSCIENCE?

THAT'S ENOUGH, DAN. NOW... OH, NO, NO.

HE HAS A RIGHT
TO ASK THAT QUESTION.

I ONLY HOPE I'M ANSWERING IT
HONESTLY, AS HONESTLY AS I CAN.

I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE
I'M A CLINICAL SCIENTIST.

I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
DOWN THERE.

I KNEW HE'D TAKE
THAT ATTITUDE.

TELL HIM, PHILLIP. VERY WELL.

HARRIMAN, WE'LL WITHHOLD
JUDGMENT WHILE YOU INVESTIGATE...

ON THE CONDITION THAT YOU TAKE
SOMEONE WITH YOU AS A TRAINED OBSERVER.

TRAINED IN WHAT? HUMAN
EMOTIONS. PSYCHOLOGY.

DR. ARTHUR KENNER IS A PIONEER IN
THE STUDY OF THE PSYCHIATRY OF STRESS.

JUST, UH, WHAT DOES THIS,
UH, KENNER PLAN TO PROVE?

WE'VE ALREADY MADE ARRANGEMENTS
TO HAVE HIM ON BOARD THESEAVIEW...

TO ANALYZE THE REACTIONS
OF THE CREW DURING THE DIVE.

NOW IF A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS
EMOTIONAL CRISIS SHOULD OCCUR,

HE HAS THE AUTHORITY
TO CALL OFF THE MISSION.

ENOUGH AUTHORITY TO COUNTERMAND
THE ADMIRAL'S ORDERS?

ON TECHNICAL MATTERS, NO.

ON EMOTIONAL MATTERS, YES.

THAT'S THE ONLY CONDITION
WE'LL ACCEPT, GENTLEMEN.

AGREED. BUT WE SHOVE OFF
AT 1000 HOURS TOMORROW.

I DON'T INTEND TO WAIT
FOR ANYONE.

I'LL CONFIRM WITH HIM
NOW. KENNER WILL BE THERE.

[ Projector Clattering ]
AS YOU CAN SEE,

BEFORE EXPOSURE
TO THE FEAR GAS,

THE CAT REACTS TO THE
APPEARANCE OF THE MOUSE...

IN THE PREDICTABLE MANNER.

AND NOW, WE INTRODUCE THE GAS.

AND YOU'LL OBSERVE
THAT THE EFFECT IS SUCH...

AS TO TOTALLY REVERSE THE
MOST INSTINCTIVE PROCESSES.

THIS IS A GREAT STEP FORWARD IN
ISOLATING THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF FEAR.

[ Phone Ringing ]
OH, EXCUSE ME.

YES. KENNER HERE.
OH, PHILLIP. YES.

YES, I UNDERSTAND.
YES, THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

WELL, I HOPE SO.
I'LL CERTAINLY TRY.

WELL, I'LL BE ABOARD
THESEAVIEWFIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

GOOD-BYE.
OH.

UH, GENTLEMEN, THE FILM YOU HAVE
JUST SEEN ILLUSTRATES THE EFFECTS...

OF THE NEW FEAR GAS.

MOST INTERESTING. IT'S THE END
PRODUCT OF THE WORK IN WHICH...

EACH OF YOU
HAS HAD SOME PART.

THIS CONTAINER OF FEAR GAS
REPRESENTS OUR COMBINED EFFORTS.

I REGRET THAT
SECURITY REGULATIONS...

HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM
LETTING ANY ONE OF YOU KNOW...

THE FULL DETAILS OF WHAT
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON.

AND NOW
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME,

I-I'LL HAVE TO CUT THIS SESSION
SHORT. GOOD NIGHT, DOCTOR.

I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF THINKING
ABOUT OUR FEAR GAS, DOCTOR.

IT SEEMS ABOUT READY
FOR HUMAN APPLICATION.

NOT QUITE. AS YOU KNOW, MARTIN,
FEAR IN THE LOWER ANIMALS...

IS BASED ON SIMPLE
SURVIVAL INSTINCT.

HOWEVER, HUMAN FEAR IS... IS FAR
MORE COMPLICATED AND PERSONAL.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT
HUMANS REACT TO THE GAS.

I MEAN,
I ASSUME WE DO.

THAT'S ANOTHER THING. THE GAS
ITSELF... IT IS NOT QUITE READY.

WELL NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME. I'VE...
I'VE GOT A THOUSAND THINGS TO DO.

I'VE GOT TO BE IN SANTA BARBARA
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

UM, HAVE YOU DECIDED YET
ABOUT TAKING AN ASSISTANT?

I SPOKE TO THE COMMITTEE ABOUT IT,
AND THEY LEFT THE DECISION UP TO ME.

WELL, WITH 125 MEN TO
OBSERVE, YOU'LL NEED SOME HELP.

I'D VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
THE CHANCE TO GO ALONG.

I MUST ADMIT
YOU WOULD BE OF HELP.

CAN YOU BE READY AT
6:00 A. M.? NO PROBLEM.

FINE. WELL, THEN LOCK UP, MEET ME IN THE
MORNING, AND I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS...

TO INCLUDE YOU IN THE PARTY. SPLENDID.

GOOD-BYE, DOCTOR.

[ Phone Ringing ]

YOU'RE LATE. [ Doctor ] KENNER JUST LEFT.

THE TRIP IS ON. HE
BOARDSSEAVIEW IN THE MORNING.

DID HE AGREE
TO LET YOU COME ALONG?

WITHOUT HESITATION.
AND THE FEAR GAS?

I'VE GOT ALL WE NEED...
ONE CONTAINER.

ENOUGH TO TURN NELSON AND HIS
CREW INTO PANIC-STRICKEN MADMEN.

ARE YOU SURE OF THIS GAS? IT
WORKED ON THEPOLIDOR, DIDN'T IT?

BUT YOU WERE NOT ON THEPOLIDOR,
AND YOU WILL BE ON THESEAVIEW.

THIS TIME THE SUB MUST RETURN
WITH ITS REPORT.

BELIEVE ME.
I INTEND TO RETURN.

BUT YOU WILL BE BREATHING
THE GAS TOO.

ACCORDING TO KENNER'S NOTES,
THE INTENSITY OF THE EFFECT...

DIMINISHES IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO
THE SUBJECT'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE CAUSE.

IN OTHER WORDS, KNOWLEDGE BUILDS
A CERTAIN IMMUNITY TO FEAR.

WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT'S BOTHERING
YOU, YOU FEAR IT LESS.

JUST BE SURE THAT NELSON
ISN'T IMMUNE.

HE MUST BE CONVINCED THAT MAN CANNOT
FUNCTION AT SUCH EXTREME DEPTHS.

ONCE HE TESTIFIES
TO THAT EFFECT,

THE UNITED STATES WILL SUSPEND
FURTHER EXPLORATION PROJECTS...

AND LEAVE THE RICHES
OF THE SEA TO US.

- IS THAT CLEAR?
- VERY CLEAR.

[ Buzzing ]

[ Knocking ]
COME IN.

DR. KENNER JUST CAME ABOARD, ADMIRAL.
HE BROUGHT AN ASSISTANT WITH HIM.

I KNOW. THE COMMITTEE ASKED ME
TO OKAY ANOTHER PASSENGER.

STAND BY TO GET UNDER WAY. I'VE
ALREADY PASSED ALONG THE ORDER.

THANK YOU, LEE.
OH, BY THE WAY,

TELL SPARKS TO MAINTAIN RADIO
SILENCE AS TO OUR OBJECTIVE.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
[ Knocking ]

ADMIRAL, THIS IS DR. ARTHUR KENNER. CRANE.

GOOD MORNING, ADMIRAL. OH, THIS
IS MY ASSISTANT DR. MARTIN DAVIS.

HOW DO YOU DO? WE'RE LOOKING
FORWARD TO A MOST INTERESTING CRUISE.

THESE ARE YOUR QUARTERS,
DR. KENNER.

I HOPE YOU'LL FIND THEM
COMFORTABLE.

FINE.
THANK YOU, CAPTAIN.

YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT DOOR,
DR. DAVIS.

UH, "AIR REVITALIZING"?

YES. IT'S THE SYSTEM THAT PURIFIES
AND RECIRCULATES THE AIR IN THE SUB.

IT ALLOWS US TO STAY SUBMERGED
FOR AN INDEFINITE TIME.

AH. NOW THESE ARE THE
OUTLETS FOR PURE AIR.

THE EXHAUST VENTS
ARE AT DECK LEVEL.

OH, MADISON. IN HERE. UH, CAPTAIN.

I'D LIKE A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO TALK
TO AS MANY OF THE CREWMEN AS I CAN.

DR. KENNER WANTS ME TO PREPARE SOMETHING
OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE ON THEM.

I'LL ARRANGE IT. IT'LL HAVE TO BE BASED ON
THEIR DUTY SCHEDULE. WE'RE A LITTLE SHORTHANDED.

YES. SO MANY OF YOUR MEN WERE
LOST ON THEPOLIDOR, WEREN'T THEY?

WELL, THANKS FOR THE GUIDED TOUR, CAPTAIN.

I, UH... I HOPE YOU DIDN'T MIND
INDULGING A SCIENTIST'S NATURAL CURIOSITY.

NOT AT ALL. OH, ONE MORE THING.
THERE'S A SECURITY REGULATION...

THAT ALL PERSONAL PROPERTY
BROUGHT ABOARD HAS TO BE INSPECTED.

I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND INDULGING
US IN THIS. NOT IN THE LEAST.

EH, IT'S JUST ROUTINE, SIR. FROM
APPRENTICE SEAMAN TO CONGRESSMAN,

EVERYBODY GETS
A PERSONAL PROPERTY CHECK.

WELL, THAT'S
DEMOCRACY FOR YOU.

AND A GREAT THING IT IS
TOO. YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

TELL ME, SAILOR. YOU MUST'VE HAD
A LOT OF BUDDIES ON THEPOLIDOR.

YEAH, A COUPLE.
TRAGIC THING.

ANY CHANCE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE?

- NO.
- WHY, YOU NEVER CAN TELL.

THEY MIGHT HAVE
MADE IT TO THE SURFACE.

NOT FROM A TRENCH
EIGHT MILES DEEP.

MAYBE THEY'RE STILL ALIVE DOWN THERE.
ONLY A COUPLE OF COMPARTMENTS FLOODED.

NAH, IT DOESN'T HAPPEN LIKE
THAT, DOC, NOT THAT DEEP.

IT JUST GOES, AND THEN
THERE'S NOTHING. NOTHING!

WELL, I'M SORRY, SAILOR. I SHOULDN'T
HAVE ASKED YOU ALL THOSE QUESTIONS.

AW, IT'S OKAY. I...

THERE'S NOTHING
HERE, KOWALSKI.

OKAY.
THANK YOU.

I GUESS I MISSED THIS ONE.
I'LL HAVE TO CHECK IT TOO.

SEEMS TO BE LOCKED. OH, YEAH.
I'VE, UH... I'VE GOT A KEY.

[ Muttering ]

UH, IT'S A TAPE RECORDER.
I USE IT IN MY INTERVIEWING.

WELL, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO
WORK. SURE IT DOES. LOOK.

[ Clicks ]
THERE. SEE?

HERE, COME ON. SAY
SOMETHING. NO, GO AHEAD.

NAH.
[ Chuckles ]

WHAT SHOULD I SAY?
ANYTHING YOU LIKE. COME ON.

YOU EVER HEARD YOUR OWN
VOICE? COME ON. UH, NO.

MAYBE LATER, HUH, DOC? ALL RIGHT.

YOU GONNA TALK
TO ALL THE GUYS ON THE CREW?

AS MANY AS I CAN,
BEFORE WE MAKE THE DIVE.

I CAN SAVE YOU
A LOT OF TROUBLE, DOC.

THESE GUYS DON'T SCARE
SO EASY.

YOU NAME IT,
THEY'VE BEEN THROUGH IT.

HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THAT, SAILOR?

YOU DON'T THINK MUCH OF THEPOLIDORAND
WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM?

OH, YOU GOT THE WRONG MAN, DOC.
HE'S GOT THE SAFEST JOB ON BOARD.

HE WORKS IN THE COMPARTMENT
WITH THE ESCAPE BELL.

IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
HE'S THE FIRST MAN OUT.

IS THAT RIGHT? WELL,
WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SAILOR?

- PATTERSON, SIR.
- PATTERSON, DO YOU THINK MUCH OF THE CHANCE...

OF BEING THE ONLY MAN
WHO MIGHT ESCAPE ALIVE?

NO.

I-I MEAN, I... I THINK
ABOUT IT, SIR. BUT...

COURSE, THE FELLOW WHO HAD
YOUR JOB ON THEPOLIDOR...

DIDN'T GET OUT AT ALL,
DID HE?

UH, HOW LONG DO YOU
NORMALLY STAY SUBMERGED?

OH, UH, IT DEPENDS... A WEEK, 10 DAYS
AT A TIME, DEPENDING UPON THE MISSION.

[ Davis ] DOES IT FRIGHTEN YOU TO BE
GOING DOWN 4,500 FEET IN AN EGGSHELL?

WELL, SIR, I NEVER
THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT WAY.

WELL, YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
PATTERSON.

ANYTHING? LET ME KNOW OF ANY VARIANCES.

AYE, SIR. WE'RE RIGGED FOR SILENT
RUNNING. WHO AUTHORIZED THAT?

THE ADMIRAL,
WHILE YOU WERE FORWARD.

DID HE COME TO THE CONTROL ROOM?
NO, HE'S LOCKED IN HIS CABIN.

CAME OVER THE INTERCOM.

ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL
AT THE TRENCH 0923 HOURS.

LET'S SEE.
THAT'S ABOUT A HALF HOUR.

LEE, IS THE ADMIRAL OKAY?

I MEAN, NONE OF US HAVE SEEN
HIM SINCE WE LEFT THE INSTITUTE,

AND ALL THIS
WARTIME ALERT BUSINESS...

A LOT OF THE MEN
ARE STARTING TO WORRY.

I'LL GO SEE HIM NOW.

[ Nelson On Tape ]
MARINE INSTITUTE TOPOLIDOR.

CAN YOU READ ME? CONFIRM!

[ Men Shouting,
Indistinct ]

[ Nelson's Voice ] MARINE INSTITUTE
TOPOLIDOR. CAN YOU HEAR ME? CONFIRM!

[ Shouting Continues ]
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

CAPTAIN ANDERS,
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

[ Shouting Continues ]

ANDERS!
ANDERS. ANDERS!

[ Explosion ]

ADMIRAL?
ADMIRAL.

OH. YES, LEE.

WE'LL BE THERE
IN ABOUT A HALF HOUR.

GOOD.

I'VE CHECKED AND RECHECKED THE SPECIFICATIONS
OF THE POLIDORFOR ANY MISCALCULATION.

IT HAD TO BE
SOMETHING ELSE.

YOU ORDERED US RIGGED FOR
SILENT RUNNING. MAY I ASK WHY?

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TOPOLIDOR OUT HERE,

AND I'M TAKING NO CHANCES
WITHSEAVIEW.

SHE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ATTACKED,
NOT AT THAT DEPTH.

PERHAPS NOT,
BUT, UH, MAYBE, UH...

MAYBE IT WAS SABOTAGE.

THERE'S NO REASON TO CHECK
THE STORES BROUGHT ABOARD.

ALMOST ANYTHING COULD'VE
BEEN PLANTED ON THAT SUB.

NOTHING'S BEEN PLANTED ON THIS ONE.
WE RAN A COMPLETE SECURITY CHECK.

I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT.

[ Creaking ]

[ Buzzing ]

[ Buzzing ]

DEPTH READING.
3,400 FEET, SIR.

THE FATHOMETER INDICATES THE
OCEAN DEPTHS AT ANY GIVEN POINT.

WITH THIS AND OUR
PRECISION DEPTH RECORDER,

WHICH ACTUALLY GRAPHS
THE CONTOURS OF THE BOTTOM,

WE ALWAYS KNOW
WHAT'S UNDER OUR KEEL.

GENTLEMEN, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE IN
A TRENCH THAT REACHES DOWN...

NEARLY EIGHT MILES.

A REMARKABLE SHIP,
ADMIRAL,

AND AN INCREDIBLE CREW.

IF ANY MEN WERE TO SURVIVE AT THE
DEPTHS OF THE OCEAN, IT WOULD BE THEY.

YOU SOUND AS IF YOU DOUBT
THE POSSIBILITY.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION,
DR. KENNER?

EIGHT MILES. HOW FAR DOWN
DO YOU INTEND TO GO, ADMIRAL?

AS FAR AS NECESSARY
TO FINDPOLIDOR.

UH, YOU DIDN'T HEAR THE
QUESTION, DOCTOR. EH, WHAT?

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT MEN CAN FUNCTION UNDER
THE CONTINUAL THREAT OF A GHASTLY DEATH?

WELL, DEATH, WE'RE...
WE'RE ALL FACING DEATH.

I WON'T LET
THAT HAPPEN THOUGH.

I COULD CANCEL THIS MISSION.
I COULD ABORT THIS DIVE.

ONLY ON SUFFICIENT GROUNDS,
DOCTOR.

NOW, WE CAN'T GO MUCH DEEPER.
WE CAN'T GO MUCH DEEPER.

- WE CAN'T.
- YOU'RE NOT QUESTIONING THE DOCTOR'S AUTHORITY, ARE YOU?

HIS AUTHORITY
IS ESTABLISHED.

I CAN'T SAY AS MUCH
ABOUT HIS JUDGMENT.

DEPTH READING.

- PRYOR.
- SIR?

LOOK SHARP. THIS IS NO
TIME FOR DAYDREAMING.

3,750 FEET, SIR.

HOW MUCH FARTHER, CAPTAIN?

SETTLE DOWN, PRYOR.

I DON'T LIKE THIS
ANY MORE THAN YOU DO.

[ Buzzing ]

DEPTH READING.
4,050 FEET, SIR.

THIS DEVICE IS A MAGNETOMETER. IT'LL
PICK UP ANY TRACE OF METAL IN THE AREA.

THEN I TAKE IT WE'RE CLOSE TO THE
DEPTH WHERE THEPOLIDORWAS CRUSHED.

THAT'S RIGHT. [ Sighs ] WELL,
I DON'T MIND TELLING YOU,

I'M... I'M
A LITTLE NERVOUS.

NEVER BEEN IN A SITUATION
QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE.

IT TAKES A LITTLE
GETTING USED TO.

ANYTHING?

I'M NOT SURE.

NOT SURE?
GIVE ME THAT!

CHANGE HEADING
TO 2-0-9 DEGREES.

[ Crane ] 2-0-9 DEGREES.
[ Switches Clicking ]

I MAKE OUT METAL CONTACT
ABOUT 300 FEET BELOW.

[ Crewman ] IT COULD BE. I'M NOT SURE.

YOU BETTER SHAPE UP,
SAILOR.

YOU'RE AS MUCH A PART OF THIS
MISSION AS ANYONE ELSE ON THE SUB!

ADMIRAL, TAKE IT EASY.

THIS MAN'S OBVIOUSLY UNNERVED.
AND YOU'RE NOT HELPING ANY.

I'M SIMPLY TRYING
TO BE REALISTIC.

YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO IGNORE
THE FACT THAT THESE MEN...

ALL OF THEM... ARE AFRAID, DEATHLY AFRAID.

WELL, BEING AFRAID
IS NO CRIME...

OR SIGN OF WEAKNESS,
DOCTOR.

ONLY A FOOL WOULD DENY
THERE'S DANGER HERE.

THEN YOU'RE AFRAID TOO? OF COURSE I AM.

BUT MY BIG FEAR IS NOT DEATH. THAT'S
ALWAYS WITH US, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

THE MEN ARE USED TO IT,
AND SO AM I.

BUT WE'RE NOT USED
TO FAILURE, DOCTOR.

AND THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME: THE
CHANCE THAT THIS MISSION MIGHT FAIL...

WHEN I KNOW THAT IT HAS
EVERY REASON TO SUCCEED.

ADMIRAL?

WE MUST BE APPROACHING
OUR CRUSH DEPTH BY NOW.

- WHAT'S OUR READING?
- 4,300 FEET, SIR.

CONTINUE DIVE. NO! GO BACK, PLEASE.

I ORDER YOU TO GO BACK.
ADMIRAL, DID YOU HEAR ME?

I ORDER YOU TO GO BACK. I ORDER YOU
TO YOUR CABIN, DOCTOR. RIGHT NOW.

THIS MISSION IS ENDED.
I HAVE THAT AUTHORITY.

CAPTAIN CRANE, I DEMAND
THAT YOU SURFACE AT ONCE!

- THIS MISSION IS OVER. DO YOU HEAR ME, CAPTAIN CRANE?
- CONTINUE DIVE, CAPTAIN.

I HAVE THIS AUTHORITY. I CAN ABORT
THIS DIVE. STAND BY, ALL STATIONS.

WE'RE APPROACHING
MAXIMUM DEPTH.

[ Nelson ] MR. MORTON, ESCORT
DR. KENNER TO HIS QUARTERS.

AYE, AYE, SIR.
I SHALL REPORT THIS.

UH...
DR. KENNER.

[ Buzzing ]

THE SLIGHTEST... MALFUNCTION...

[ On Speaker ]
CAN BE CRITICAL, MEN.

SO STAY ON YOUR TOES.
[ Microphone Clicks ]

ADMIRAL, YOU DELIBERATELY
IGNORED DR. KENNER'S ORDER.

HE HAD AUTHORITY
TO ABORT THIS MISSION.

ONLY ON PSYCHOLOGICAL GROUNDS. AND HE'S
OBVIOUSLY INCAPABLE OF MAKING SUCH A JUDGMENT.

MY REPORT WILL OVERLOOK THIS INCIDENT,
IF YOU STOP THE DIVE HERE AND NOW.

DR. KENNER WAS SCARED GREEN. I
CONSIDER HIS COMMAND INCOMPETENT.

AND YOU AREN'T FRIGHTENED?

YOU'VE ALREADY ADMITTED IT,
ADMIRAL. YOU'RE AFRAID OF FAILURE.

SO AFRAID, YOU'RE WILLING TO
SACRIFICE THE LIVES OF A HUNDRED MEN.

IS YOUR PRIDE WORTH A
HUNDRED LIVES, ADMIRAL?

ARE YOU THAT...
ADMIRAL NELSON!

METAL CONTACT CONFIRMED.
MAYBE 150 FEET DOWN.

ACTIVATE
NOSE CAMERA.

THIS TRENCH GOES DOWN
TO 48,000 FEET.

HOW COULD THERE BE ANYTHING AT
THIS DEPTH? IT'S PROBABLY A LEDGE.

4,450 FEET, SIR.

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

DAMAGE CONTROL! DAMAGE CONTROL, REPORT.

[ Curley On Speaker ] IT'S OKAY, CAPTAIN,
JUST A PIN LEAK IN THE MISSILE ROOM.

IT'S UNDER CONTROL.
4,500 FEET, SIR.

- METAL CONTACT, 50 FEET.
- ALL STOP.

LEVEL OFF.

WE'VE GOT
TO GET IN CLOSER.

ADMIRAL,
WE'RE AT CRUSH DEPTH.

WE CAN'T GO THIS DEEP. CLOSER, CAPTAIN!

ALL AHEAD.
DEAD SLOW.

THEY THINK
THEY FOUND SOMETHING.

IT MIGHT BE THEPOLIDOR...

ON THE LEDGE
RIGHT OUT THERE.

ANDERS.

HENDLEY.

ALL OF THEM.

SO CLOSE, YOU COULD ALMOST... [ Banging ]

[ Banging Continues ]

-[ Banging ]
- IT'S LIKE...

LIKE SOMEBODY'S OUT THERE.

[ Buzzing ]

[ Banging Continues ]
ONE OF THEM'S STILL ALIVE.

ONE OF THEM'S STILL ALIVE.
LISTEN TO HIM, HE'S...

HE'S STILL IN THERE.
HE'S STILL ALIVE!

I'M GETTIN' OUT. HEY! [ Klaxon Blaring ]

[ Overlapping Shouting ]

ELEVATE BOW PLANES.
BLOW AFT TRIM TANK.

TAKE HER UP!

HOLD THAT.

TAKE HER UP.

TAKE HER UP.

TAKE HER UP TO 3,500 FEET...

AND HOLD THERE.

TAKE HER UP 3,500 FEET.
HOLD THERE.

WHEN YOU GET A REPORT FROM DAMAGE
CONTROL, BRING IT TO MY CABIN.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT,
CAPTAIN, BUT FEAR TAKES MANY FORMS.

AND IT'S
ALWAYS DESTRUCTIVE,

EVEN IN A MAN
LIKE NELSON.

YOU HAVE
TO TAKE OVER, CAPTAIN,

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CREW
AND OF THESEAVIEWITSELF.

HE'LL PUSH US DOWN
TO DESTRUCTION IF YOU DON'T.

WE'RE IN YOUR HANDS
NOW, CAPTAIN.

[ Buzzing ]

CAPTAIN CRANE.
DAMAGE CONTROL REPORT.

WE FIGURE THE WORST DAMAGE
IS IN NUMBER TWO.

PROBABLY GET IT IN SHAPE
IN A HALF HOUR.

CAPTAIN, WE'RE NOT
GONNA DIVE AGAIN, ARE WE?

WHY? I DON'T THINK THE
MEN COULD TAKE IT, SIR.

ALL RIGHT, CURLEY.
THAT'S ALL.

FRANKLY, NEITHER CAN I.
I SAID, THAT'S ALL, CHIEF!

YES, SIR.

ADMIRAL.

I'D LIKE TO GIVE THE ORDER
TO SURFACE.

ARE THE DAMAGE CONTROL REPORTS
THAT BAD?

NO. AS A MATTER OF FACT,
THEY'RE RELATIVELY MINOR.

- WE WERE LUCKY THIS TIME.
- THEN WHY?

BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THE MEN CAN
HOLD UP UNDER ANOTHER DEEP DIVE.

I SEE.
AND WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE?

SURFACE NOW. MAYBE GO DOWN AGAIN
WHEN THEY'RE IN BETTER SHAPE.

I'LL MAKE THAT DECISION,
CAPTAIN.

IF WE SURFACE NOW, WE'LL BE ADMITTING
THAT THE COMMITTEE WAS RIGHT.

MAYBE THEY WERE. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY
TO ACCOUNT FOR WHAT HAPPENED TOPOLIDOR.

IT COULD'VE BEEN SABOTAGE.

I'VE GOT TO FIND THAT OUT.

THAT'S THE SECOND TIME
YOU'VE MENTIONED SABOTAGE.

THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THATPOLIDOR WAS
DELIBERATELY SUNK! [ Pounds Desk ]

THERE'S GOT TO BE!
THERE'S NO OTHER ANSWER.

WHY? BECAUSE ANY OTHER ANSWER WOULD
LAY THE DEATHS OF 85 MEN AT YOUR FEET?

YOU MAY BE WILLING TO DIE RATHER
THAN ADMIT YOU MADE A MISTAKE,

BUT I'M NOT GONNA DIE WITH YOU AND
NEITHER ARE THE MEN ON THIS SHIP!

CAPTAIN CRANE!

AS SOON AS REPAIRS
ARE COMPLETED,

THESEAVIEW
WILL CONTINUE THE SEARCH.

SO HELP ME, IF YOU MAKE
ONE MOVE TO PREVENT IT,

I'LL TAKE YOUR COMMAND
AND PUT YOU UNDER ARREST!

THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD I WANT
MORE THAN TO GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW,

TAKE THESEAVIEW UP TO THE SURFACE,
AND PUT ALL THIS BEHIND US.

BUT I CAN'T DO IT.

IWON'TDO IT, LEE.

NOT YET.

NOT AT ANY PRICE.

[ Buzzing ]

WHAT'S TROUBLING YOU,
CHIEF?

NOTHING
WE CAN'T HANDLE.

ALL CLEAR NOW,
CHIEF.

WHAT DO YOU HEAR, DOC? HEAR?

I HEAR WE'RE GOING
BACK UP.

WE'LL ALL BE GOING HOME. THAT
OUGHT TO PLEASE THE MEN, HUH?

YEAH. YOU'VE ALL BEEN UNDER
TREMENDOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL STRAIN.

I KNOW ABOUT
THESE THINGS.

BUT ONCE WE GET BACK UP, HAVE
A BIT OF REST, YOU'LL BE FINE.

[ On Speaker ] NOW HEAR
THIS. THIS IS CAPTAIN CRANE.

ALL PERSONNEL WILL MAN THEIR DUTY
STATIONS AND STAND BY TO DIVE.

[ Knocking ]
COME IN.

OH, MARTIN.

DR. KENNER, THOSE OFFICERS
ARE ACTING LIKE MADMEN.

YOU'VE GOT TO STOP THEM. LOOK AT
ME. I'M SOMETHING OF A MADMAN MYSELF.

YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
ABORT THIS MISSION. USE IT,

BEFORE THEY MURDER ALL OF US.
YOU'RE AFRAID TOO, AREN'T YOU?

WITH NELSON AND CRANE
IN CHARGE, WE'RE ALL AFRAID.

AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SCARED TO DEATH.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. I
SHOULDN'T FEEL THIS WAY, MARTIN.

I-I KNOW BETTER.

I'M ACTING LIKE A VICTIM
OF MY OWN FEAR GAS.

WELL, THAT'S HARDLY POSSIBLE.
AND A GOOD THING TOO,

OR WE'D ALL BE DEAD.

- DEAD?
- YES. DANGEROUS STUFF THAT FEAR GAS.

IT'S...
IT'S TOO UNSTABLE.

YES. LOOK AT ME. NOTHING BUT NERVES.
WHY DO I ACT THIS WAY, MARTIN?

I KNOW BETTER. I TELL MYSELF...
WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOO UNSTABLE?

WELL, IT'S-IT'S JUST... THE FEAR
GAS, TELL ME, I'VE GOT TO KNOW!

WELL, IT'S-IT'S NOT... IT'S UNSTABLE.
IT'S NOT READY TO USE ON HUMANS YET.

IT-IT CHANGES ITS
PROPERTIES AFTER EIGHT HOURS.

THE FEAR GAS BECOMES A,
UH-UH-UH, A NERVE GAS.

NERVE GAS! YES. WORKS
DIRECTLY ON THE BRAIN.

DEADLIER THAN ANY GAS...
[ Groans ]

NO!

WHAT'S THE MATTER, MARTIN? WHAT'S
THE MATTER? GET OUT OF MY WAY.

WHAT ABOUT THE FEAR GAS?
I SAID, GET OUT OF MY...

[ Buzzing ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Straining ]

[ Yells ]

[ Crane On Speaker ]
STAND BY TO DIVE.

DIVE! DIVE!

DEPTH.

4,470 FEET, SIR.

[ Headphones Clatter ] THAT'S
TOO FAR, ADMIRAL. THAT'S TOO FAR.

SIT DOWN, PRYOR.
[ Babbling ]

NOW, LOOK! I SAID, SIT DOWN! LET GO OF ME!

CLARK, TAKE HIM TO SICK
BAY! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

I DON'T WANNA DIE!
LET ME OUT OF HERE!

[ Pryor On Speaker ] LET ME
OUT OF HERE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!

METAL CONTACT,
40 FEET, DEAD AHEAD.

SWITCH ON NOSE CAMERA.

4,480 FEET.

JUST A LITTLE WRECKAGE,
ADMIRAL.

PREPARE TO ACTIVATE
DIVING BELL.

WE'LL HAVE TO BRING SOME
OF IT IN. [ Loud Crashing ]

[ Klaxon Blaring ]
HOLD THAT VALVE.

WE SPRUNG A LEAK!
CONTROL!

[ Klaxon Blaring ]

EXTINGUISHER! FIRE
CONTROL! DAMAGE CONTROL!

DAMAGE CONTROL!

DAMAGE CONTROL. PORT FORWARD
TRIM TANK VALVE'S JAMMED!

CAN WE HOLD TRIM
AND BLOW BALLAST TO SURFACE?

NOT WITH THOSE VALVES
FROZEN.

MISSILE ROOM, CAN'T YOU WORK
THOSE VALVES LOOSE BY HAND?

I THINK SO, CAPTAIN. IT'LL
JUST TAKE A LITTLE TIME.

COME ON, PATTERSON.

CAPTAIN, YOU MUST SURFACE IMMEDIATELY!

- ENGINE ROOM, HOW ARE...
- YOU MUST SURFACE NOW.

- THAT'S AN ORDER, CAPTAIN.
- DR. DAVIS.

WHY MUST WE SURFACE NOW?

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
WE'LL ALL DIE.

DIE?

WHY?
WHY WILL WE DIE?

I PUT A GAS DEVICE
IN THE AIR CIRCULATING SYSTEM.

WHERE IS IT?

IT SLIPPED INTO THE MAIN DUCT.
YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT IN TIME.

IT'S FEAR GAS. IN EIGHT HOURS,
IT BECOMES UNSTABLE.

THE EIGHT HOURS ARE UP.

IT'LL BREAK DOWN
INTO NERVE GAS AT ANY MOMENT.

DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?

IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED
TOPOLIDOR?

TELL ME!

YES.
[ Sobs ]

SHUT OFF
THE REVITALIZATION UNIT.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?
YOU'VE GOT TO SURFACE NOW!

WECAN'TSURFACE NOW!

WE CAN'T SURFACE NOW.

OUR CONTROLS ARE JAMMED!

MUST BE A WAY.
THERE MUST BE.

THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.
LEE, GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

[ Davis Muttering ]
THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.

SEAL UP ALL VENTS.
AYE, SIR.

WE'LL GO ON ESTABLISHED AIR
UNTIL WE SURFACE.

ADMIRAL,
EVEN WITH THE VENTS CLOSED,

THE SUBMARINE IS STILL FULL
OF RESIDUAL GAS,

ENOUGH TO KILL US.
I KNOW.

WHAT IF WE HEATED IT? RAISED THE
TEMPERATURE OF THE WHOLE BOAT?

THE GAS WILL RISE.
IT'LL CLING TO THE CEILING.

BREAK OUT ALL
EMERGENCY HEATING UNITS.

GIVE US
ALL THE HEAT YOU CAN.

PASS THE WORD TO THE CREW...

THIS BOAT IS GOING TO BE
A SWEATBOX!

[ Chattering, Indistinct ]

WHAT'S UP THERE?

HYDRAULIC ARM
IS FOULED!

SHE WON'T GIVE, CHIEF. GIVE
ME THAT CHAIN AND COME ON.

GIVE ME
THE OTHER END.

LET ME GIVE YOU A HAND. JAMMED.

KEEP DOWN, ALL OF YOU. I'LL TRY IT AGAIN.

NO GOOD, SKIPPER.
SHE'S JAMMED TIGHT.

CAPTAIN,
WE'RE STILL LOSING TRIM.

MANEUVERING ONE... CAN YOU
CUT IN ANOTHER AIR COMPRESSOR?

ALREADY ASKED. THEY'RE TRYING TO RECHARGE
THE AIR BANKS WITH EVERYTHING WE HAVE.

KEEP ON IT. DEPTH. 4,580
FEET AND STILL SLIPPING.

COME ON. WE'VE GOT TO FREE THESE VALVES.

[ Grunting ]
IT'S COMIN'!

I CAN FEEL IT! IT'S STARTIN' TO GIVE!

SHUT UP AND STOP
USIN' UP AIR!

[ Grunts ]
IT'S COMIN'!

I CAN FEEL IT!
WE GOT IT FREE!

TAKE THAT CHAIN OFF AND
LET'S SEE. [ Grunting ]

[ Curley ]
IT'S FREE!

I GOT TO TELL THE CAPTAIN.
GO ON.

WE'RE STILL
LOSING TRIM, CAPTAIN.

IF WE GET OUT OF HERE...
[ Sighs ]

THIS SHOULD ANSWER THE COMMITTEE'S
QUESTION ONCE AND FOR ALL.

THE HARD WAY.

CAPTAIN,
THE VALVES ARE CLEARED.

THEY'RE CLEAR!

[ Chuckling ]
OKAY, LET'S GO!

[ Men Laughing ] [ Crewman
] MAN YOUR STATIONS.

TAKE HER ON UP! BLOW
BALLAST TANKS! TAKE HER UP.

SHE'S FREE!
WE MADE IT!

LET'S SKEDADDLE.

PURE UN-REVITALIZED AIR... JUST
LIKE MOTHER USED TO BREATHE.

JUST TALKED
WITH WASHINGTON, LEE.

THE F. B. I. WILL BE WAITING
TO PICK UP DAVIS WHEN WE DOCK.

FINE. HOW ARE YOU FEELING, DOCTOR?

GUILTY.
TERRIBLY GUILTY.

DR. DAVIS, THE FEAR GAS...
ALL MY DOING.

- ALMOST YOUR UNDOING.
- MMM.

I'VE ALWAYS CONSIDERED HUMAN FEAR
A COMPLICATED PHENOMENA BUT...

THISCOMPLICATED...
