LATITUDE ZERO

Longitude, one hundred eighty degrees.

Latitude...

...ZERO!

The spring of 1969.

The largest oceanographic ship in the world,

the Japanese research vessel "Fuji"...

...has sailed eastward from the Gilbert Islands to...

...an area in the equatorial South Pacific

to investigate and analyze what is known...

...as the Cromwell Current,

a subsurface stream flowing east from New Guinea

to the coast of Ecuador.

Why do they study it?

Because possibly it can be used by submarines to increase speed...

...just as the jet stream is used by high-flying aircraft.

Shall we go?

Dr. Ken Tashiro, physicist and oceanographer is in command.

Aiding him is Dr. Jules Masson.

A French geologist and veteran of many bathysphere expeditions.

Perry Lawton from Trans Globe News...

His story and photographs are to be "pooled", that is made available to...

...all the various news services.

Oh!

I wasn't going to light up in here.

I just carry it to ease my mind.

This is control. How do you read us?

Loud and clear. Just passing twenty fathoms.

How's the temperature?

Exterior water temp two-zero degrees centigrade.

Bathysphere temp two-six.

It better get cooler. We not gonna light each other...

Has the depth of mission being determinate?

Negative!

The DSL is very dense in this area.

The SONAR findings are inconclusive.

But you probably reached the bottom of the current,

around 100 fathoms.

We'll be pulling you up in twelve hours. Have a good trip. Out.

What is the DSL?

DSL stands for deep scattering layer.

Is composed of living organisms, that scatters or reverts sound pulses.

Organisms that reflect sound...

That's why. Can it be photographed?

They never have never been, at least conclusively.

Might be a manu fish, even a squid. We just don't know.

Oh, that's why.

Yes, I can see those red lines right now.

Divers in Cromwell Current find sound reflective squids.

Gentlemen, that for sure is not gonna get me any surprise.

Red lights increase vision as we get deeper.

How deeper are we now?

Nearing 300 feet, close to 90 meters.

Check this!

How come they're all going one way?

What'd you make of it?

Do they know something that we don't?

Turn on the searchlights.

Exterior water temp is one-five...

That's normal for this depth.

Dr. Tashiro, do you read us? Go ahead!

Ship board seismograph indicate some sort of disturbance on the sea floor.

Have you observed anything unusual?

Everything seems normal.

Except, all marine live has disappeared.

Stand by.

The director is dropping the mission.

We'll start pulling you up to the surface immediately.

Out!

Hey! What's that coming at us?

Wherever we are...

I'm sure we're all better than we were.

Hey, we don't have any scars either.

Look, they are all healed.

Glad to see you two are feeling better.

I'm Dr. Anne Barton.

Dr. Tashiro...

I'm Perry Lawton.

And your companion...what's his name?

Jules...Dr. Jules Masson.

He's okay?

We're taking care of him. He's in a separate cabin.

When you feel up to getting dressed, the Control Room's straight ahead.

Oh, I don't know whose camera it is, but I put it there.

Doctor of medicine?

Harry. Yes.

Hi.

Oh, nice to see you up and about.

You must be Dr. Tashiro...

Yes.

I'm Captain Craig McKenzie. Welcome aboard the Alpha.

This is my assistant, Kobo.

Mr. Lawton...

Trans Globe...

Ah yes, all the news from pole to pole.

We do try.

How is Dr. Masson, sir?

Dr. Barton reported he is suffering from shock and a cranial injury.

Is it bad?

Everything is being done to effect his recovery as soon as possible.

This Dr. Barton is kind of young, isn't she?

She doesn't look much like a doctor.

Mr. Lawton,

what's a doctor supposed to look like?

Well...

Now, there...what is that?

That is the volcano that tore you loose from your mooring.

Now you're seeing it from a viewing scanner we have on the surface.

How close is it?

About ten miles away.

Our vulcanologists have been predicting this eruption about a month.

That's why we happening to be in this area. To observe it.

And that's why we happened to observe your difficulty.

Had you been dropped two miles farther south, you'd have been incinerated.

That's a pleasant thought.

Where are we?

What is this anyway?

This is the Alpha, a submersible.

An American nuclear sub?

Or Japanese?

No. Mr. Lawton, neither are we American, Russian, British...

...nor any other nationality.

We are neutral.

You're neutral?

Look, a submarine like this has got to come from somewhere. Now where?

-That's irrelevant. -No, I don't think it is.

Listen, I'm a reporter. I do know a story when I see one.

I imagine you do, but you can't cable your editors from here.

Perry!

The Alpha, launched June 21 , 1805...

Stornaway Harbor, Hebrides...

that's in Scotland, isn't it?

1805!

That would make this submarine a hundred sixty-four years old!

You don't believe that, do you?

Neither do I.

Excuse me, Captain McKenzie.

Yes?

This business about your submarine being launched in 1805...

That's a hoax, isn't it?

What?

I mean...a joke.

No.

But the first success submarine wasn't build until the 1880's.

Not quite accurate, doctor.

A Dutchman named Van Drebbel while in the services of King James of England

build the submersible that was powered by 12 rowers.

And they rowed at the Thames of the depth of nearly 15 feet.

Yes...

1620.

Captain, he's not responding.

I am afraid, we can't treat him successfully aboard the Alpha.

You realize the importance of our presence here.

-How urgent is this problem? -Very urgent.

The shock factor is manageable, but...

...he suffered some internal injuries requiring care we're not equipped to give.

Then you recommend we call off this mission?

If he's to live.

What are you gonna do now, Captain? Toss a coin?

-Kobo, set course to El-zee. -Yes, Captain.

Hello, El-zee, this is the Alpha.

Go ahead, Captain McKenzie.

We are aborting the mission.

Alert Rehabilitation Clinic to pick up injured man as soon as we dock.

That is all.

Kobo...

Flank speed.

Yes, Captain.

All right Doctor? Thank you.

How fast are we going, anyhow?

A shade under eighty knots.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

Dock at Latitude Zero?

That's only a place on maps,

where the Equator and international Date Line cross.

But, there's no land there.

Malic!

Malic! Come quickly!

Have our agents finally kidnapped Dr. Okada?

No word from them, but look!

McKenzie is leaving the volcano.

Kroiga, this is Malic.

I am here, my lord Malic.

The Alpha is northeast of you, on course for Latitude Zero.

It would please me if you intercepted and destroyed it.

Your wish is my command, my lord.

We're near enough to get McKenzie this time.

You should reach the Alpha within the quarter hour.

Do your best, little one.

McKenzie will be destroyed.

This I promise, my lord.

And your reward shall be waiting, little one.

Your jealousy is showing.

I can't help it. I just hate that woman.

Don't be silly. She's useful to us.

You're the only woman I keep with me.

Why don't you tell me you gonna get rid of her,

and let Ching take over the Black Shark?

I will, eventually... after she destroys the Alpha and McKenzie.

Later, Lucretia, when we have something to really celebrate.

The Black Shark.

Is it going to attack?

It always has. Cover the the lights.

Yes.

Do you have anything to fight it with?

Nothing is powerful as what it has.

That includes speed!

It's a matter of how to escape.

Go up twenty meters.

Maybe that avalanche caught them.

Stay above two strokes.

Prepare search missiles!

Search missiles ready!

Those aren't torpedoes!

Search missiles.

Follow our heat path.

Kobo, activate the icing equipment.

Yes, Captain.

It doesn't work, Captain.

Do something! Will you!

McKenzie has increased the mobility of the Alpha.

He's forever changing something on that damned boat!

Your ''little one'' is no match for him.

Don't underestimate her just because you dislike her.

She was stupid!

If those missiles had backfired, she could have cost us the Black Shark.

Trying to get close up to use their laser cannon, I would guess.

Another sub!

No. That's a ghost image of us.

Marvelous!

How ingenious!

It must be a projection device of some kind.

Of course! But which is the real Alpha and which is the image?

How bloody inventive that McKenzie is!

I have done it!

I have finally done it!

Did she do it?

That's what McKenzie would like us to believe.

Look!

He has made a fool of her.

She shouldn't have fired those missiles so soon!

How did you do that?

Well, not exactly with mirrors, Dr. Tashiro.

Top speed!

Ram it!

What's that glow?

That's the light of our artificial sun.

Sun? Under the sea?

Kobo, turn on the equalizers.

Yes, Captain.

Faster! Faster!

I’m sure Kroiga did her best.

She shouldn't have failed...

Order the Black Shark back to Blood Rock.

Then contact our agents in Japan and find out about kidnapping Dr. Okada.

I better get back to my patient.

What happened to the Black Shark?

The electronic shield of light prevents entry into Latitude Zero...

...to all vehicles except the Alpha and a few others that have...

...equalizing equipment.

It's a sort of electronic fence around your ranch, right?

In a sense, yes.

-Kobo, take over, please. -Yes, Captain.

Who does the Black Shark belong to?

To an evil genius named Malic, and his companion Lucretia.

His captain is Kroiga, a woman.

Formidable opponent. More skillful than most seamen.

Where's this Black Shark from?

Malic's base at Blood Rock.

It's an island some distance north of here.

And you're always at war with each other?

He lives up to his name. In one archaic language ''Malic'' means murderer.

If it wasn't for the efforts of Latitude Zero,

he might have taken over your world...

...a century ago.

A century ago?

Yes, we were students, not friends, really.

We aren't enemies neither.

He chose one path...I another.

Wait, just a minute.

You and he were students together a century ago, right?

Yes.

What? Just how old are you?

Well...

Since you question everything, I don't expect you to believe this

or much of anything else you're about to see.

I am two hundred and four years old.

Malic is now two hundred and three.

And this Dr. Barton...

How old does that make her?

Mr. Lawton.

Even in Latitude Zero, gentlemen do not discuss the age of a lady.

We'll be docking soon.

This Sir...

we are actually at the bottom of the sea?

Yes, a little more than eleven thousand fathoms.

Is taking pictures here forbidden?

Not at all.

Oh good, because nobody's gonna believe me unless I show them pictures.

They might not even believe me anyway.

Gently, Kobo.

Yes.

-Is he all right? -He will be better soon.

I'll go with him to the Rehabilitation Clinic.

Is that electrically operated?

Yes. We have no internal combustion machines here.

So no smog.

Kobo. Yes.

report the malfunction of the icing equipment and have...

...and have the R and D people make the modifications

on the bow rudders as I requested.

Yes, Captain.

Now...

to the Great Hall.

This is a model of Latitude Zero.

Here's the Great Hall where we are now.

Fabulous.

Who does it all belong to?

To the people who live here.

That lady over there looks like she just got here by a wagon train.

Some of our people prefer the styles they wore when they arrived.

But who runs it?

Nothing like this can operate all by itself!

Mr. Lawton, are you skeptical by nature or because of your profession?

I'm a realist.

We are the realists.

That's why we're not political here.

Politics are only needed by people incapable of running their own lives.

I'm sorry.

Quite all right.

Welcome home, Craig!

How was the volcano?

Erupting!

Professor Bella, a nuclear physicist.

He's made many contributions to our sunshine.

Now we can get much more Vitamin D.

Comes up six o'clock in the morning and dims down at eight at night.

Please, change my name to Alice.

I didn't take a ride in a bathysphere. I just fell through the looking glass.

Mr. Lawton, you can be very good company when you aren't glowering.

Thank you.

Dr. Karnack!

Don't you look fine today.

Dr. Karnack?

Karnack? The Russian mathematician?

Yes.

He was reported killed in an air crash five or six years ago!

Ah, and that water fall in those mountains.

Yes!

That's the source of our fresh water river. They evaporate it in the hills, over there.

Dr. Tashiro seemed to understand

what I tried to explain about Latitude Zero.

But Perry Lawton found it difficult to accept.

But he appreciated that the variety of architectural styles...

...in our residential areas representing international tastes...

...and reflected the desire to preserve what was good from the past.

I'm sorry. A place like this just cannot run itself.

Maybe you'll never understand.

But when...greed is made meaningless,

there is no reason for one to seek power over his neighbors or become a..

as you, buddy, a though dog.

Are you trying to tell us that nobody down here ever...

...raises his voice or has an argument?

Of course we all do, but arguments are to solve problems, not bolster egos.

You really go for this, don't you?

-Yes, I do. -All right.

Does everybody down here wear gold clothing?

We use a good deal of it.

You mean there are gold mines here?

No. We extract it from sea water.

It's inexpensive and very practical.

No laundry, you know...

Captain McKenzie, where exactly is Jules Masson now?

He is right here in the rehabilitation clinic.

Everything is near normal.

You see, the cranial bruise has already healed.

The lung puncture has closed.

The broken ribs have knitted quickly.

The new narrow injections promote healing in a miraculously short time.

Really nothing to be concerned about.

All he now requires is ample sleep.

When can he be released, Dr. Sugata?

In the morning.

Goodnight, Dr. Barton.

'Night, Dr. Sugata.

Come in, gentlemen.

Excuse me.

Here's the bathroom.

Tomorrow morning this closet will be full of fresh clothing.

The YMCA was never like this.

Here's the bed.

Captain McKenzie! Is this what I think it is?

A diamond.

Is it real?

Everything in Latitude Zero is real.

Do you mind if I take a few of those stones, Captain?

Take all you like.

We only use them for abrasive or cutting tools.

That's their only real value to us.

Why are you sweating?

Because I never was an instant millionaire before! That's why!

Thank you very much, Captain McKenzie!

Don't mention it.

For dinner, do we got a mess hall or what? Oh!

The schedule is here.

You press these buttons to select what you want from the menu,

and it will be delivered through there from the central kitchen.

What is this: caviar, rack of lamb, prime rib...

Well, and who you get to prepare this food?

Oh, this is a hobby. Today the chef is Dr. Ildoro, mineralogist.

Don't worry.

You won't find any stones in your stomach.

Goodnight, gentlemen. I'll see you in my office tomorrow.

You can't have everything.

No moon, no stars.

Do you realize that those people McKenzie talked to, or about,

all disappeared...

...or they were reported missing and finally presumed to be dead.

Maybe we're in Paradise and don't even know it.

Oh, come on now! I'm serious!

You think maybe we're dead.

I don't know. I've never been dead before.

You know what,

McKenzie and some of his cronies...

...they could've kidnapped those people

they could've brought them down here.

and then brainwashed them into working for him.

You're out of your head.

And now he's trying to brainwash us!

You act like he's already gotten to you!

He sure has.

Or maybe while we were still out,

we were given some sort of injections

that might have caused hallucinations!

Oh, come on!

No, I mean it.

When we come to, we might find we're just...

another exhibit in Marineland.

You gonna join me?

Or should I enjoy all this hallucination all by myself.

I'll be dead.

To Latitude Zero.

What's McKenzie up to now?

He's doing something to the Alpha.

Every change he makes in it also makes him more difficult to destroy.

If only there was some way to puncture that dome...

You know there's no way of doing that!

We must get him away from there. In the open we never gonna get him.

This is Malic...

From Tokyo? Go ahead.

Dr. Okada has escaped?

Escaped?

I'm not interested in how or why you failed to kidnap him in Tokyo.

When did he sail?

What route?

Report to our agent in Osaka and wait for further orders.

Dr. Okada and his daughter sailed from Yokohama last night.

The ship is bound for Honolulu, then San Francisco.

Are Latitude Zero agents with him?

I don't know.

But, we've got to get Okada here.

Killing two birds with one stone...

I'll get the secret of his immunized radiation formula and also use him as bait!

Don't you see?

I'll make sure McKenzie finds out Okada is here on Blood Rock.

When he comes to rescue him, it'll be the end of McKenzie!

Yes. But you are inviting him to invade us.

That's the idea, Lucretia.

Now contact Kroiga for me.

She has one more mission to perform before I ''retire'' her from service.

I'm very grateful to you for saving my life, Captain McKenzie.

Not at all, Dr. Masson. She talked me into it...

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Hey you are fine!

Why shouldn't I? Look who's been taking care of me.

Well, they sure got you up and around fast, didn't they?

From I've seen so far, I hasn't even in a mild medical problem.

Oh I see...

Hey!

Quite layout? , isn't he? Yes, great.

What's this thing?

This is a model of a special vehicle...

Used for transporting Project Teams to and from...

...Latitude Zero.

From where?

All over the world.

For instance, Project Team Three.

The chemist is Sir Morris Polley.

But, he defected to the Communists!

So the Western Press reported.

The Communists said nothing preferring let

the West believe he indeed had defected to them.

The truth is one of those brought here is working on...

... pure science instead of ''profitable'' science.

What if he decides he'd rather go back to London?

Oh, we will take him home.

That young man is from Project Team Eight.

The man with him is Sergey Kievsky, the biologist.

I thought he took political asylum in Canada.

So you read...

The Communists read he had taken his family on a holiday to Egypt.

Actually, he is here.

Here is Dr. Okada.

Three years ago when he received the Nobel Prize.

Every nation in the world tried to lure him into working for them...

...or steal his discovery.

Including Malic.

These men are from Project Team Fourteen...

...when they explained Latitude Zero to Dr. Okada and his daughter.

That was last month.

And where are they now?

Are on their way to Hawaii.

To meet the Team to bring them here.

Father!

The ship will radio for help.

Aid may come before Kroiga can get

Dr. Okada and his daughter aboard the Black Shark.

That's so none will risk firing for fear of injuring our noted guest.

Besides, I think we can count on the little one.

Captain, what's this Okada done that's so important?

He developed a serum

that can immunize against radiation.

No wonder every nation wants it.

Exactly. Any one government could immunize

its own population and destroy all opposition.

But Dr. Okada has refused to reveal his formula

until all mankind posses it.

But...

after these people here in Latitude Zero invent something or whatever...

...how is it going to benefit mankind if you keep everything down here?

We frequently manage to...

find new discoveries into medical laboratories of the world.

The passenger liner en route from Japan to Honolulu...

...was stopped on the high seas by a mysterious submarine,

identity not established.

And the Nobel Prize-winning bacteriologist, Dr. Shogoro Okada and...

...his daughter, Tsuruko, were forcibly taken from the ship...

... by hostile persons unknown.

...the kidnapping of the famous scientist is intolerable!

At this very moment, our Ambassador to the United Nations...

...is protesting to the Secretary General about the high-handed act of piracy.

The identity of the submarine has not yet been confirmed.

But since it was not American...

...the evidence indicated it may have been either of Soviet design...

...or a new aggressive step by Red China.

Strong diplomatic protests...

Any report from Project Team H?

Team H from Hawaii. Standby.

This is Yankton.

We are waiting to meet Okada and his daughter in Honolulu

and bring them to El-Zee,

after supplying identical substitutes to continue the voyage to San Francisco

to cover his disappearance

We're now waiting for instructions.

None now. Stay put.

No! I will tell you nothing!

Dr. Okada, you judge us wrongly.

We new you were going to be taken for that ship in Honolulu

and spirited away to Latitude Zero...

...never to be heard from again.

We are going willingly to that place.

I see.

Well, if that's your desire, I'll see to it that you get there...

...as soon as you give me the formula for the immunization serum.

Never.

Well, you're probably too upset to think clearly right now.

Take a little rest, and then we'll talk again.

That way, Doctor and Tsuruko-san.

Do I get a reward for having brought them to you?

Of course, little one. Just what did you have in mind?

To be alone with you.

It's a long time.

Too long.

Come with me. I'll take you where we can be together.

Kroiga...

Wait in here, little one.

Oh, no!

Malic...

Damn you!

What's that noise? What happened to her?

Nothing...

yet.

This way, please.

Please, this is our guest room.

You can rest here, Doctor,

and think about my proposition.

I will not cooperate with you at any time.

You may change your mind.

This is one of my creations.

They will keep you company for the next twelve hours.

Convince your father to cooperate, or I'll turn you into a creature like that.

No, no...

You're a monster!

No, I am a genius.

If you continue to be obstinate, Dr. Okada...

...you will force me to get your formula in my own way...

...by surgically removing your brain, and then dissecting its memory bank.

That's impossible!

Not for me.

You have twelve hours.

Now to let McKenzie know that I have Dr. Okada...

It's originating from someone here!

Yes, it's Okada.

How convenient that they supplied him with a homing device.

Very good.

It saves me the trouble of telling McKenzie where Okada is.

-That will bring him here. -Exactly what I want.

We're getting a signal on 87.4. We'll have its location in a moment.

McKenzie. -Yes, sir.

Have the modifications on the Alpha I requested been completed?

The work is done, but testing will require at least another day.

No time for testing. She must be ready within one hour.

Thank you.

The signal is stabilized, therefore Okada can not be on the Black Shark.

They have to be on Blood Rock.

No land or island shows at that point.

Plenty of islands have never input on maps.

How can Okada let you know where he is?

We gave him a homing device before he left Tokyo.

Gentlemen, I had planned to return you to the surface today, but it'll have to wait.

Anne, we must select three men to go with us on this rescue attempt.

What's the matter with us?

We're only alive because you put us safe without the bathysphere

Let us go with you.

I wouldn't miss it.

I must warn you the dangers will be very great.

So, how do we start preparing for them?

You may need a doctor, Captain?

All right, but you'll remain aboard the Alpha.

First, to the Bath of immunity.

The bath of what?

Now, you see, Gentlemen, that's how it's done.

The immunity only lasts for twenty-four hours.

Submerge for a count of three.

Uh, ladies first.

I think you'd better go first.

You know, I thought we would look like Easter Eggs.

-You'd better be tested too. -No...

Ah, me?

I've been hit harder with ping pong balls.

These are made of Corvexo...

an alloy of gold and platinum.

Impervious to all temperatures.

And this is an added precaution, put them on.

Then, we'll board the Alpha.

-Mr. Lawton. -Thank you.

Have you changed your mind, Dr. Okada?

Never!

Do you expect to be rescued?

The people of Latitude Zero already know where we are.

I certainly hope so. They've had ample time to pinpoint your location.

That’s why I didn't take that homing device away from you when you first time turn on.

Ingenious.

Much less obvious than others.

But they've served their purpose.

Bring them to the operating room.

El-zee, El-zee, this is the Alpha.

This is El-zee.

Are you still hearing the homing device?

Negative, it stopped, twelve seconds ago.

No...no...no...please...no...

No..no...Malic please...no!

Please, no, Malic...

No, no, please...Malic!

No!

You're a monster...a fiend...damn you!

I hope you die...die...die...

While we're waiting for the arrival of your benefactor, I'll demonstrate my skill.

by creating the creature that will kill Captain McKenzie for me.

Nearly an anesthetic.

He is to watch everything.

Is that way in all sides? Yes.

And how we get up those cliffs?

Anne, cover for Kobo.

The rest of your equipment.

This is the Helium Elevation Belt.

Rocket-powered, it permits a person to climb to high altitudes very quickly.

That's the answer of my question, right?

Here is the safety.

Here's the trigger.

Now these are dangerous and diverse weapons.

In the fingers.

The first finger emits a jet of fire.

-A miniature flame-thrower? -Yes.

The second a paralyzing gas...

...that immobilizes but does not kill.

How do we keep from immobilizes ourselves with it?

The Bath of Immunity and Corvexo suit will prevent that.

The third discharges a laser beam that is lethal...

...up to one hundred yards.

Each is fired... by its own switch on the wrist.

Under no circumstances...

are you to use any of these weapons,

unless I specifically give you the order.

I can't stand it! No!

Can you see?

The brain of this lion.

Your doctors are so elated that they have finally been able to...

...transplant organs from one human to another.

That's child's play.

I'm now going to transplant a human brain into the head of this lion.

My God, no! Don't kill that woman!

Think of it, Dr. Okada, a human's brain in a savage beast!

It will be able to understand and obey my orders.

Ah, what a marvelous creature this is going to be!

I beg you. Don't do this terrible thing!

I'll give you the formula.

Only stop this, and let her go!

It's too late, Doctor.

There is a ledge below at eighty feet.

After we leave, submerge

and let the Alpha settle on it.

The Alpha has surfaced beside the cliff wall.

Administer the anesthetic to the condor.

You are to remain on that ledge...

...until you receive a radio signal from me to surface.

If you fail to receive that signal by dusk...

...you are to return to Latitude Zero immediately.

Is that understood? Immediately.

Yes, Captain.

Be careful.

Yeah.

I must be crazy!

Changed your mind? Don't want to come alone?

No, is not that. I didn't bring my camera with me.

I didn't bring one lousy camera.

Malic, look!

McKenzie has arrived!

Now watch and see what happens to him and his little group.

I've seen pictures of the moon that looks a lot more inviting.

Captain, you've never been here before?

First time.

That’s great. How do we find Dr. Okada?

We have to search.

Could be in that tower.

It looks like a way down.

What's the matter?

It's a strong magnetic force.

Lock on the lever on our elevation belts!

Captain!

Kobo, try to pull us out. One at a time.

They're getting loose!

Malic.

They freed themselves.

Don't matter. Don't bother me.

Kroiga, do you hear me?

You see, Dr. Okada!

My new creation even knows its name!

This amplification serum.

It will increase the size of this creature at least three times.

All within a few minutes.

Kroiga! Come here!

It can't be... a beast with the brain of a human!

Go!

Find McKenzie and kill him!

Yes! Kill McKenzie!

You understand? Kill McKenzie!

Now Dr. Okada, it is your turn.

No, no!

Silence her!

Hurry!

Doctor, doctor! This way!

Are you all right?

You look all right, OK? I guess so.

Back to that tunnel we just pass!

We head to that high ground.

Rather a better attack, I should have only a few bones to pick on.

Watch out! There!

Maybe we can wade across.

I'll go.

Let's get his boots off, Ken.

Captain McKenzie! Over here!

Can you make it?

I'm okay.

Jules, get back here.

Grab him. . Two on each side.

Activate your elevation belts!

Kroiga!

Kroiga!

Kroiga was a fool as a woman.

Is she also a fool as a griffin! Why doesn't she attack?

But you will not scape, Dr. Okada!

Please, please don't hurt my father!

Malic!

Idiot!

Why didn't she get McKenzie?

-Kobo! Yes.

Try that lock. -Yes, Captain.

Give me the anesthetic.

McKenzie!

Lucretia!

Lucretia...

I.... I didn't....

I didn't mean.

I know Malic.

Malic...

Kill him!

Ah! Malic!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Father!

Tsuruko!

Father!

-Captain McKenzie? -We'll talk later, Dr. Okada.

Malic has escaped.

We must hurry back to the Alpha.

Captain!

Dr. Okada, Tsuruko.

This is Dr. Anne Barton. She will take care of you.

Where's Jules...Dr. Masson?

He's up there with Kobo and Mr. Lawton.

We have to go back to help them down.

Are they all right?

Everybody is all right, except Malic escaped us.

Ready!

Yes.

Is that what I think it is?

The Black Shark!

Let's go!

Inside, everybody!

Hurry!

Try to overcome this force, my friend!

We are being pulled by a strong magnetic force.

We're in a magnetic field coming from that cliff!

-Prepare the laser gun. -Yes, sir.

I'm going to destroy the Alpha and everyone on her, piece by piece!

That laser cannon is aimed on us. -Hold to something stead, all of you.

-What's going to happen?

The first time, test of the modification installed just before we left. Kobo.

Activate bow rudders. Yes, captain.

If this works, we're going to fly.

Fly?

Now or never.

Aim the laser gun!

Laser Ready!

Fire!

Fire!

Shoot it down! Shoot it down!

Get out!

Out of my way!

Sir! We are being pulled to land!

How ironic.

Black Shark has been caught in the magnetic field!

Sir, look out!

Scratch one submarine!

Scratch one island!

I know.

I've already told them goodbye and I wished them luck,

which I figure they've already found.

A logical conclusion for a good reporter.

Have a chair.

I suppose you're anxious to get back to your own world.

Well, with the terrific story I've got, plus the pictures to prove it...

...and a tobacco pouch full of diamonds, it's the only place to go.

Uh, Captain McKenzie...

You said everything down here was developed for the benefit of mankind, right?

When are you going to let the rest of the world in on this secret?

Mr. Lawton,

none of us is wise enough to know when men will live in harmony.

We do believe that eventually, must until then...

we must continue our work here,

because is the only place on this planet where we can.

Kobo, arrange to return Mr. Lawton to the surface.

Yes, Captain.

Good luck.

Thank you.

Captain, excuse me.

How much longer before the spacecraft splashes down, Captain?

The American officers aboard tell us that re-entry should begin at...

...eleven hundred hours.

Raft adrift off starboard bow, sir!

Oh, over there!

Look, I've told you all a dozen times. The other two decide to remain down there.

This captain...

-At the bottom of the ocean? It's the truth, I swear!

And all those scientists the world think are dead...

...are really alive. They are working down there. I saw them!

What is this?

He seems to think I'm somebody called Tashiro.

If you please, Gentlemen...

I'll be in the radio room with Lt. Hastings.

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I'm temporarily assigned to this ship to observe the...

...pick-up of a space-craft, Commander Glenn McKenzie.

You look exactly like Captain Craig McKenzie.

Now, you can see for yourself the pictures I took!

-Nothing on this film. -What?

Blank!

What?

That's his lousy darkroom that ruined my films.

I took pictures of everything there.

Wait a minute!

I can prove it to you.

You see this...

It was full of diamonds.

Captain McKenzie gave them to me.

I come from a long line of McKenzie’s.

I never knew any rich enough to give away diamonds.

Lt. Hastings, you better bring a corpsman to the wardroom.

Right, sir. Thank you.

Until this mission is completed,

you will be cared for in sick bay.

But I'm not sick!

You are all so hung up on exploring space.

You're not even interested in learning about a miracle that exists

right here on our own planet.

When this miracle you seen so hang upon can be true...

...we'll be most interested, Mr. Lawton.

Here's the patient, Lt. Hastings.

But you...

-Take care of him, corpsmen. -Yes, sir.

Telegram, Captain.

It's from New York Bank to Perry Lawton.

Listen to this...

''Have received six hundred karats of diamonds from unknown sender...

''...instructing we hold for safe keeping pending your return.''

How the bank knows he is aboard this ship?

And as I know...

he is essentially the richest man aboard.

Here is one from SOPAC, sir.

The rendez-vous area is now Tango X-Ray for splash-down of the spacecraft.

Better ask the captain to change course.

Captain!

Longitude one seven six.

One seven six.

Latitude...

Latitude...

Zero.

Zero.
