All language subtitles for Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - 03x19 - The Mermaid_prob3

Sir, we just received this from
The admiral, marked top secret.

Very well, chief.
Carry on. Aye, aye, sir.

Lee, we're getting more of those sonar
Echoes. Apparently another herd of seals.

Well, log every one we contact.

This is, uh, supposed to be
An accurate census. Aye, sir.

This isn't my idea of excitement...
Counting the noses of seals.

It's a living.

I'll go forward and
Take some visual readings.

Three echoes, sir.

Medium-size seals,
Bearing 0-1-4, relative.

Three more. Check.

Chip! Come here!

What's the matter? Look.

I must be seeing things.

Okay, I see the
Seal. What about it?

Well, that isn't what I saw before.
I'm sure of it. What did you see before?

Well, you're gonna think I've
Gone psycho, but I saw a mermaid.

A mermaid? Yes!

Well, maybe it was some, uh,

Reflection of light
From the surface, uh...

I'm sorry, chip. Go
Back to work. Aye, sir.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

starring richard basehart,

david hedison.

Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

A mermaid?

You actually believe
That you saw a mermaid?

I... I know how it sounds.

But I also know what I saw.

Anyone else see it? Well, I
Called chip to take a look.

And?

He saw a diving
Seal, but no mermaid.

Well, there you are.

Look, lee. The mermaid legend
Is as old as sailing itself.

Take a seal or a manatee,
Plus a little bit of imagination,

And you have a
Beautiful mermaid.

Yeah. I know all about that, and I thought
The same thing until I saw this one.

But I got a good close look, admiral.
There's absolutely no question about it.

All right. Assuming you're that
Convinced, what do you want to do about it?

Let's investigate it right
Away. I'm sorry. That's impossible.

But why? The marine census
We're taking isn't vital. It can wait.

Look, admiral. Now, all I'm suggesting
Is that we spend a few hours at most...

No! And that is final.

Very well.

I'm sorry I troubled you. Mmm.

What did the admiral say?

I can't understand it. He's
Always kept an open mind.

And a thing like this, you'd
Think he'd be a little curious.

Uh, maybe he has more
Important things on his mind.

Hmm. Maybe.

When are we due
To surface again?

Uh, 1400 hours,
About 30 minutes.

Yeah.

Well, that would be
Here, at this island.

It's about 100 yards
Off the east coast.

Very well. If you need me in the next
15 minutes, I'll be in the missile room.

Aye, sir.

Chief. Sir.

I want a rubber raft ready
To launch when we surface.

Aye, sir. Any special equipment?

Yes. Uh, break out one of the m-4
Sea scooters and put it on the raft.

Sea scooter, aye.
Anything else, sir?

Aqua-lung, face
Mask and flippers.

Check. What about
A wet suit, sir?

I won't need one.
The water's warm.

Now see that
It's done. Aye, sir.

Uh, how many men will be
Going? I'll be going alone.

Excuse me, skipper, but, uh,
That's against regulations.

Now look, chief. Suppose we
Forget the book on this one.

It's an unofficial trip.

Aye, sir.

Prepare to surface. Blow
All tanks for 10 seconds.

prepare to surface. Aye.

Surface. Surface. aye, sir.

All right. Now, it's 1400 hours. Can you
Be back here at the same spot at 1800?

We'll be here. The deck crew has your
Sea scooter and raft up ready to launch.

Good. look, lee.

Don't you think you'd better
Inform the admiral about this?

If he asks where I am, tell him.

Tell him what? That
You jumped ship?

I've got a little
Shore leave coming.

Say I decided to take it here.

Very well, chief.
That's all. Thank you, sir.

Chief, where's the captain?

Uh, captain crane, sir?

Yeah. You do know
Captain crane, don't you?

Oh. Yes, sir.

I mean, um, you better
Talk to mr. Morton, admiral.

Mm-hmm. Yes.
Yes, I, uh... I will.

Chip. sir.

I've been trying to raise
Lee on the intercom,

But he doesn't answer.
Have you seen him?

No, sir. Not for some
Time. Mm-hmm. Well, have

Somebody find him and
Send him to my cabin.

Sir, uh, that won't be easy.
Uh, the fact is he's not on board.

Mm-hmm. Huh?

What the devil do you
Mean he's not aboard?

He went ashore with
Some skin-diving equipment.

I might have known.

That, uh, mermaid
Obsession of his.

Yes, sir. It seems to
Be preying on his mind.

Well, have sparks raise him by
Radio and order him back here at once.

Aye, sir. Any trouble, you
Report to me in my cabin.

You mean to say the captain
Left this ship without a radio...

With... With no
Way to reach him?

Yes, sir. I'm afraid
That's the case. All right.

Well, there's nothing
Much we can do about that.

At the moment.

I'll have to let you in on this.

What is it, sir?

It's a communication from the
Office of naval intelligence.

I was supposed to tell captain
Crane about it at this precise moment.

But since he's off on one of his personal
Ventures, it appears that you're it.

- yes, sir.
- as you may know,
Our government is, uh,

Having meetings with representatives
Of all nuclear powers...

to try to arrive at a new
Disarmament treaty. yes, sir. I know.

A certain unfriendly foreign
Power has chosen this moment...

To plant a large and extremely
Powerful nuclear device...

in the sea off our
California coast. why, sir?

Well, the reason is fairly
Obvious, I should think.

It's a weapon that can be
Detonated by a radio signal.

And start world war iii?

their purpose is a lot
More devious than that, chip.

The mere presence of
This bomb off our coast...

Is enough to upset the delicate
Balance of nuclear power in the world.

Well, if we know all that, admiral,
Why don't we find the bomb and disarm it?

That's exactly what we plan
To do, but it's not that easy.

Why not, sir? With our detection gear,
We could spot it in a matter of hours.

Yes. Yes, yes. If... If it were a
Conventional weapon. But it's not.

This weapon is equipped
So that it's immune

From detection from
Any known search devices.

Well, that is a problem.
How long have we got?

Till the conference
Officially opens.

That means we have to find and
Neutralize it within three hours.

This is the spot
Where you dropped him.

Yes, sir. He asked me to
Be back there at 1800 hours.

Well, I want you there
Now. How long will it take?

Hmm.

Twenty to 30 minutes.
Order the change of course.

Aye, sir.

Navigation, come to course
2-1-3. Proceed at flank speed.

aye, aye, sir.

Maneuvering, slow to one-third.

one-third, aye. is this
The rendezvous point?

Yes, sir, but we're a
Good two hours early.

All right. Take us up and get a shore
Party ready. I want crane found...

And brought to my cabin as
Soon as possible. Aye, aye, sir.

Prepare to surface. Full
Up bubble. aye, aye, sir.

Surface. Surface. surface, aye.

Mr. Morton. It's the skipper.
Get a load of the fish he caught.

What did he catch, a dolphin?

I hope it's a dolphin.

Chief, secure the
Shore party, and, uh,

Have them stand by to help the
Skipper with his catch. Aye, aye, sir.

Mr. Morton, you reported
The captain back aboard.

He is, sir. He's been
Back about 20 minutes.

Well, then why hasn't
He reported to my cabin?

I gave him your message, sir. He just
Nodded. It was like he just half heard me.

I hate to say this, sir, but there's
Something wrong with the skipper.

Mm-hmm. You may be right, chip. I...
I've never known him to act like this.

- where is he now?
- locked in the ship's lab.

the lab? What... What's
He doing in there?

I don't know, sir, but he took
That big fish he caught down there.

A fish?

Uh, he brought it back
Aboard, wrapped in a seabag.

It looked like a dolphin
By the shape of its tail.

do you want me to go down there and bring
Him up to your cabin? no. No, thank you.

I'll take care of it.

Hi, ski. Chief.

What's going on? Nothing. Hasn't
Been a peep out of him since he, uh,

Locked himself in the lab and
Ordered me to stand guard.

- maybe I ought to
See if he's okay.
- I'm sorry, chief,

But the lab's off
Limits to all hands.

Okay. Only, uh, how can we
Be sure the skipper's all right?

He'll call out if
He needs anything.

Yeah. I guess so.

- ski, about that fish he caught...
- mm-hmm. What about it?

Well, I was listening
To some of the guys on

The deck detail... They
Helped him aboard.

And, uh, they, uh... They
Don't think it's a fish at all.

No? What do they think it is?

Some kind of mermaid.

Mermaid? Oh, come on.

- don't tell me you believe
Scuttlebutt like that.
- who, me?

Of course not. That's what
I told them. Stupid, right?

Yeah. Well, listen, uh, if he
Needs anything, just call me.

Okay, chief.

Uh, is the captain
In there? Yes, sir.

Lee. This is nelson.
Open the door.

Come in.

Lee, what is wrong with
You? Nothing's wrong, admiral.

I've just made the greatest discovery
In the whole history of the sea.

Look.

All right. All right. I, uh...

I admit it's the most
Amazing thing I've ever seen.

It can't be real. She
Looks real enough to me.

how did you capture her?

With tranquilizers. She's still
Under the influence of them.

There are a lot of
Questions I'd like to ask,

But there's no time
For that at the moment.

You better read this.

Well, go ahead.
Go ahead. Read it.

Very well. I read it. Well?

I followed her for a long time.

She led me to a grotto where
There was a whole colony of them.

that's when I captured her. The
Tranquilizer made it possible, of course.

What is the matter with you?

There's no way of knowing how
She'll react to the drug. I realize that.

You haven't heard a word I said.

I don't think it could possibly
Hurt her. Do you, admiral?

Now listen to me. Pull
Yourself together! Listen!

At any rate, we'll soon know.

You stay on guard
Here, kowalski.

Nobody's to enter or
Leave without my permission.

Well, sir, uh, does that
Include the skipper?

Especially the
Skipper. Now carry on.

help! Help!

Admiral!

What happened?

What happened, sir? Chief.

O-organize a detail armed
With tranquilizing weapons.

I want that thing
Taken alive. Aye, sir.

- what thing, sir?
- hmm? Uh...

That thing that...
That killed thompson.

I suppose it's connected
Somehow with that...

specimen that captain
Crane has in the lab.

Searching for it, trying
To... Trying to find it perhaps.

I'm going to the lab now. Now get
The detail organized immediately.

Aye, sir.

Smitty! Hank! Hold it.

You want us, chief? Ye...

Well, I called you,
Didn't I? We're off duty.

Well, you're both back
On duty as of right now,

And you both have volunteered for
Extra-hazardous duty. What's the hazard?

Well, it's some kind of
Creature that's from the sea,

And the admiral wants us
To bring it back alive. alive?

Yeah. That's, uh...
That's if we can.

Come on.

Let's get the tranquilizer
Guns loaded and ready.

Any idea where he
Could be hiding, chief?

No. We'll cover the circuitry
Room and the reactor area.

You okay, smitty?
I... I think so.

Oh, man. That thing is wild.

Now hear this. This is chief
Sharkey to all crewmen.

Stay clear of the corridors
In the missile room area.

Repeat. Stay clear of the
Corridors in the missile room area.

Is captain crane still in there? Yes,
Sir. Nobody's tried to come out or go in.

Hmm. Very well.

Engineering, what
Happened to the generator?

Engineering. Eng...

Engineering!

Engineering! We've lost
All power. We're going down.

Lee. Lee.

lee.

Control room, report.

Control room.

Oh, what happened? I'm not
Sure, but we're on the bottom.

You all right? Yes, sir.

I must have hit my
Head when I fell. Uh-huh.

Captain crane's been knocked out.
See he gets to sick bay. Aye, aye, sir.

skipper?

Open up, sir.

Lay down to the main generator
And give me a full report.

Find the duty electrician
At the master control room,

And tell him I want to see
Him up here on the double.

Check with the chief engineer
And get me a damage estimate.

Where is chief sharkey? On his way to the
Circuitry room with a damage control party.

But I ordered him to
Form a search party.

I had to change that order when
We lost power and communications.

there's not much we
Can do now but wait.

We can't wait. There is a
Creature loose on this ship.

Come with me, chip.

All right. Get in
There and check it out.

Phil, give me a hand with
This, will ya? It's stuck.

You two guys keep working on
This door. I gotta report this topside.

Hey!

Oh, man. Don't do that.
I'm jumpy enough already.

You're jumpy? What have
You got to be jumpy about?

What just happened
Outside the lab.

Captain crane's down there,
And I think he might be hurt.

I was going in to help
Him, when, bam, the

Door closed in my face
And I couldn't get in.

It closed just like that
Without anybody doing anything?

Well, guess it sounds impossible
When you put it that way.

Not to me. Come on.

Chief, let me get this straight.
You say there's no way to explain...

How the door to the circuitry
Room closed and locked itself.

There just wasn't anybody there,
Sir. I tried to figure it out, but I can't.

It could have been the result
Of a slight shift in our position...

A settling to the bottom that could
Have closed the door and jammed it shut.

- I guess so, but I doubt it.
- a thing like that might happen
Once at exactly the right time,

But kowalski tells
The identical story.

That's right, sir. And I
Heard the click of the lock.

Hmm. Then how do
You explain it, sir?

I don't. At least not all of it.

Excuse me. Hadn't we better get to the
Lab and see what's happened to the skipper?

We will, kowalski. We will.
But first things first. Chief. sir.

Break out four stun guns. Meet us at the
Door of the circuitry room on the double.

Aye, sir.

Okay, sir. We can open the
Door any time you give the word.

Not... Not yet. We'll... We'll
Wait for the stun guns.

Sir. Give me one of those,
And pass the others out.

Oh, yes.

The rest of you stay
Clear of the door.

Get it out and strap it down.

You did this to
My mind, didn't you?

I'm beginning to remember
Everything again.

That fall must have
Knocked some sense into me.

normal power is now restored.

all hands will turn to
While we make every effort...

to get this ship off the
Bottom and back under control.

All right. I was wrong.

I had no right to capture you.

But don't make the rest of
These men pay for my mistake.

Look.

I'll make a deal with you.

Do you understand? A deal.

I'll set you free.

I'll let you go back
To where I found you.

But you've got to
Do something for me.

You do understand me, don't you?

Someone has placed a bomb
On the bottom of the sea.

If it ever goes off,
You'll be killed...

you and all your
Friends in the grotto.

Now, we've got to find
That bomb and disarm it.

But we need your help.

Now, if I let you go,

Will you find it for me?

Just... Just lead us to it.

We'll do the rest.

Is it okay now, sir?

Yeah. Yeah. I
Think it's all right.

admiral nelson, this is morton.
I'm back in the control room.

Very well, chip. we can
Lift off the bottom now, sir.

All right. Take
Her up. aye, aye, sir.

Now let's look after
The captain, huh?

I thought you said
It was locked. It was.

I swear it was locked.
You men wait out here.

Lee, you all
Right? Yeah. I'm fine.

What happened? Oh.

It... It came through
The wall and...

The monster's in corridor b-23.

The monster is in corridor b...

Explosion and fire, ship's
Lab. Fire detail, on the double.

Here's a radio picture
We just received from o.N.I.

Now memorize it. This is the
Device we're searching for.

How accurate is this?
According to them, 100%.

Seems to be a highly
Sophisticated model.

It is. That's why it's almost impossible
To locate. And we've got to find it.

We will. Maybe they think
It's impossible to find,

But I've got professional
Help they never counted on.

Look. Look, you... You
Can't count on her.

- now, even if mermaids exist...
- "If"? You saw one with your own eyes.

All right. All right.
They exist. But...

But how do you know that they can carry
Out orders... Or even understand them?

Oh, just call it
Intuition. I think they do.

Hmm. Did you actually talk
With the one you caught?

Well, no. Not
Exactly. But... But...

Then how do you know that
She can or... Or will help?

Do you have any other way of
Locating an unlocatable bomb?

No. No, I haven't.

Hey.

Well, there's your answer.

She'll lead us to the bomb.

Okay. You win.

Follow at dead slow. Aye, sir.

All right. You've all been briefed.
Any questions, let's have 'em now.

Just remember, kowalski. Stay
Out of sight until I call you by radio.

- I understand, sir.
- and both of you remember,

If you do find the bomb, don't
Approach it until these three men...

Have had a chance to neutralize
The controls with their equipment.

After that, you can
Disarm it in perfect safety.

Okay, skipper. You're all set.

Good luck. All right, admiral.

Kowalski, I found
It. Can you see me?

I read you, skipper, but
You're not in visual range yet.

you can't be far
Behind me. Keep moving.

where's the second diving
Party? Do you read me?

aye, sir. We're heading your way with
The equipment to neutralize the bomb.

Admiral, look. The monitor.

That thing is heading
Straight for those divers.

Chip, do you have that
Thing in visual range?

I see him. He's headed for
The skipper and kowalski.

- can you reach it
With a laser?
- I think so.

then blast it now.

I got him.

Good work, chip. Are we
Patched in on the captain's line?

Affirmative. You can talk
To him any time you're ready.

This is nelson, lee.
Do you read me?

loud and clear.
Kowalski's with me.

we're waiting for the
Divers to neutralize the bomb.

We're going down for a
Closer look while we're waiting.

There it is, kowalski.
What are the lights?

I don't know. Let's get closer.

The lights are tv sensors.

The bomb is rigged to explode if
It's approached the wrong way.

Now, what about the
Other divers? Report.

Second diving
Party reporting, sir.

you all right? no, sir.

our instruments are smashed,
And we can't neutralize the bomb.

Well, looks like
We'll have to...

Guide them in from here.

Can you do it, sir?

We'll soon find out, won't we?

Uh, lee, the diving party
Can't neutralize the bomb.

You'll have to do it
Following my instructions.

Listen very carefully.
Our lives depend...

On your following
Directions to the letter.

We understand.

you'll see some flashers.

they're intended
To scare away fish.

What was that, sir?
Take it easy. Easy.

It's all right. Now, don't
Be alarmed at the sound.

it's a high-frequency signal,
Also to scare away fish.

it almost scared us away.

we're close to the bomb now.

All right then. Stop. No closer.

You, um... You'll see some
Uprights around the bomb.

yes. We see them.

All right. They're
Equipped with electric eyes.

if you interrupt the beam,
You'll explode the bomb.

That's right, kowalski. Use
The mirror to reflect the beam.

Okay, skipper. Swim through.

watch where you stand.
There are mines everywhere.

you can say that again.

Be careful not
To trip the mines.

One false move
And we're all dead.

Now the delicate part.

You'll need your
Crescent wrench...

To release the lock
On the side of the bomb.

do you see it?

Yes. We see it.

All right. Now go ahead.

But... But carefully. Very,

Very carefully.

If that had ever
Touched the mine...

Yes, sir. I know.

lee.

when kowalski turns the lug,

remove the unit.

I'm ready.

Pull it straight up and out.

If it touches the
Sides, it's all over.

- I'm ready, sir.
- ready.

Now, skipper.

easy now. Easy.

it's out. What do
We do with it now?

Drop it and come back
Aboard. The bomb's disarmed!

It's for you.

From o.N.I.

An official "Well done."

I have a feeling it's addressed
To the wrong person.

Oh, you're, uh, still thinking
About the mermaid, huh?

Hmm. I'm beginning to
Wonder if we ever saw her.

The way my mind was
Working for a while, I just...

Oh. Oh, well, we... We saw her. That's
How they seem to affect mortals.

In the long run, I suppose it's better
If we keep telling ourselves that, uh,

They're a myth.
