[Hawk screeches]

My place is just up here and we could..

Converse more quietly?

Think of what a union it would cement.

Schubert and Harris.

(Female #1) 'Help!'

[hawk shrieks

[explosion]

[Theme music]

[Music continues]

[Instrumental music]

[Music continues]

Open it up.

[Satellite dish whirring]

Switch on.

Yes, sir.

Show some excitement, Brent.

We may be making history today.

Yes, sir.

Right where you're sitting..

I can see the plaque.

"on this spot, the discovery that ushered the world

"into the new age of molecular infusion was made..

By me."

[chuckles]

Look at it.

[Beeping]

[Dramatic music]

We're getting something, sir.

Oh, we found it.

I told you it was there.

- Turn up the power. - But, sir...

Brent, I pay you to be a yes man. Be a yesman!

Y-Yes, man.

Uh, I mean, yes, sir.

[Dramatic music]

What the devil did you do?

Turned up the power, like you told me.

Oh, Brent.

This is even bigger than I thought.

Everything electrical is out. Down to the storage batteries.

There isn't a car, a boat

moving in the affected area.

Everything electrical shut down

within an 80 mile radius.

Now, could you imagine if that happened

in New York or Chicago, say?

Have they been able to tell what's causing it yet?

No, one of the main problems is communications.

And the center of the disturbance, cw?

It's hard to tell exactly.

But as close as our recon satellites can come

it's either just on or just off the coast here.

[Birds chirping]

How peaceful it is, Brent.

Don't you wish it could be like this all the time?

Well, yes, sir.

Here.

But if I were having my tonsils out, i'd...

Gib.

I'm not a barbarian.

'There will of course be little'

enclaves of modern conveniences.

At my discretion.

Yes, sir.

But we have to find it first.

And we shall.

'Somewhere in those rocks.'

a cave, perhaps a niche.

'A vault.'

and all the power I deserve.

How will we get in there?

There's a way in.

There must be. All you have to do is find it.

[Instrumental music on radio]

Mr. Schubert.

It's worn off, just as I thought.

- Back to the laboratory, Brent. - Yes, sir.

Don't forget your hand signal.

Oh.

That's good.

You'll be the best built man at the office, Brent.

Work that gut out.

That's fine.

[Brent grunting]

Call from sea base.

Put it through, please.

(Cw) 'Elizabeth, Mark.'

both here, cw.

(Cw) 'Word from the island'

the power is back on.

(Elizabeth) 'How long ago?'

about as long as it took to get word through.

You can approach as close as you find feasible.

And hope that it doesn't happen again.

(Cw) 'Good thought.'

do they have any idea yet, what caused it?

No, they're still in the dark, metaphorically speaking.

You have as good a shot at it as anybody.

Thank you, cw. Cetacean out.

[Machine beeps]

Jane, do you have the co-ordinates

to the center of the circle?

As close as the computer can pinpoint them.

Patch them through to the helmplease.

Jomo, get us there as quickly as possible.

All ahead, full.

(Brent) You've done it again. Well, Mr. Schubert...

What are you gibbering about?

You've got them here again.

Right on schedule.

- Who? - The cetacean, sir.

Your friend Mark Harris, it has to be.

Brimstone and damnation!

But you arranged for it.

You've tricked them again!

Haven't you?

You transcendental idiot.

Why would I want them meddling on the strike of the century?

He might at least have the courtesy

to let me be first at my own discovery.

Get Mark Harris on the phone.

Wait a minute. Let's not fly off the handle.

Despair may be a little premature.

In the first place, even Mark Harris

may not be able to get into that vault.

Second, it may be better not to tip our hand.

If they find out I'm involved, it can only alert them.

They can't know yet what they're dealing with.

And you know the old saying, Brent.

What they don't know can't hurt us.

[Laughing]

[Instrumental music]

- Elizabeth. - Reading.

There is no crevice in the rocks.

Do your instruments show

any apertures within the formation?

Well, the radar scan shows

a series of cave like fissures of various shapes.

They seem to lead toward but not into..

A-a more geometric central chamber.

Would you say they are natural formations?

Well, it's hard to tell.

My best guess is that the fissures are natural

but the chamber is not.

I will continue to search.

[Instrumental music]

I believe I've found a way in, Elizabeth.

Are you gonna check it out?

Yes.

Well, we will maintain contact as long as we can.

[Instrumental music]

[Music continues]

(Brent) 'He must have found a way in, sir.'

'he's getting close.'

[music continues]

[Flame whooshing]

[Water dripping]

[Dramatic music]

[Music continues]

(Brent) 'What do you think, sir?'

'will he go back to the cetacean?'

(Mr. Schubert) 'Outrageous.'

Brent, you're a scientist.

Be logical.

Do you connect that blackout with our scanner?

Uh, yes, sir.

Whatever that thing is he is carrying

'our scanner must have activated it.'

- how? - I couldn't say, sir.

Not without experimenting.

Hmm, that's a splendid idea, Brent.

Should have thought of it myself.

Go ahead and experiment.

But he's got it in his hands.

Hasn't he?

We have the location pin pointed.

If he should, uh, pfft, drop it..

[Chuckles]

'...we'd just go in and scoop it up.'

we don't know what it would do to him, sir.

A scientist must be willing to assume

certain risks.

This is one I think you and I must be prepared to take.

Power on.

Yes, sir.

[Intense music]

[Music continues]

More power.

Yes, sir.

More power, Brent.

But we haven't given it time to operate.

- It-it might... - Yes, it might.

Let's find out before he gets back to the ship.

- More power. - Sir!

[Electricity crackling]

[Indistinct]

One word out of you, Brent

and the town motel in oxnard is gonna make headlines.

No.

[Instrumental music]

[Music continues]

A stuffed bird?

It's not stuffed, cw.

But it doesn't appear to be carved either.

Yeah, well, how old would you say it is?

- Ten years, fifty, a hundred? - Hard to tell.

I'll know better after I've done a little testing.

Yeah, well, it's probably an antiquity

and we won't be able to take it out of the area

without permission.

I suppose not.

I feel like a puppy with a prize bone.

If anybody tries to take it away from me before I finish with it

I just may bite.

I hope it's worse than your bark.

'Is Mark aboard?'

no, he's on the island.

Fresh fruit, bananas, mangoes.

'Fresh fruit, bananas, mangoes.'

[instrumental music]

That's him, missus.

Things are looking up.

Yeah, well, don't let it go to your head.

It's strictly business.

And it's the kind of business I'm extremely good at.

That's why he's picked you.

Strange old bird.

- Who? - Schubert.

I gotta tell ya, I never had to go

through that kind of test before.

Yeah, well, forget Mr. Schubert, missus.

There's your man.

'He wants to know'

'what he found in that vault..'

under the ocean.

Fascinating, aren't they?

I've often come here to look at them.

(Missus) 'They must be hundreds of years old.'

(Mark) 'I think thousands.'

(missus) 'Me, too.'

what do you suppose those markings are?

It is writing.

Like hieroglyphics, but older.

Egyptian?

Lemurian.

This island stands on the center

of what once was the ancient continent of mu.

Fascinating.

I've seen pictures of it and they've...

Oh, I don't see how you could have.

Mu disappeared into the ocean

long before the invention of photography.

I mean paintings.

You know, how they artist imagined it to be.

I wonder what it says.

It is an invocation to the ancient gods of mu.

Fascinating.

Are you leaving?

Yes.

Oh, I'm terribly fascinated

with anything having to do with the continents.

Would you mind if I walked with you?

Please.

[Instrumental music]

This is so interesting.

I'm glad you like it.

Oh, I'd like to hear all about it.

My place is just up here and we could be more comfortable.

Well, I'm quite comfortable, thank you.

'I meant..'

there's no one there... And we could...

Converse more quietly?

(Mark) 'That would be nice.'

some other time, perhaps.

Do read those books I mentioned.

Goodbye.

Well, missus?

Struck out.

He's a live one.

But I actually believe..

He didn't know what the score was.

It's hard to miss.

Maybe.

Anyway, would you tell your Mr. Schubert

he'll never reach him this way?

[Instrumental music]

[Screams]

(Juliette) 'Help!'

help! Please, help.

'I can't swim.'

'help!'

[screams]

Help me. Please, help.

He..

Help!

[Screams]

Uh, help, uh, help me.

Oh..

[Coughing]

You went in after a hat?

It's the only one I have that hides my face.

Why would you want to do that?

It was supposed to be funny.

Except, it's no joke.

I don't seem to have much luck with people.

Especially men.

I think you are charming.

You're gonna make me cry.

That was not my intention.

I hate to cry, it makes my eyes puffy.

[Chuckles]

What am I saying?

You're not making fun of me?

I do not make fun of people.

You poor man.

We're both a little strange, aren't we?

In what way?

Mark, I want you to meet my papa.

I really do not have much time.

Please, he'll be very grateful.

I think.

If it is important to you.

[Instrumental music]

Do you like it?

It is very beautiful, Juliette.

Don't let it put you off.

Down deep, I'm just like you.

Well, not like you, but like other people.

Please wait here.

Papa!

[Humming]

Uh..

[Continues humming]

(Schubert) Mark, my boy. What a pleasant surprise.

You couldn't be more welcome.

Do you two know..

Yeah, hmm..

I like him, papa.

I'm not going to do anything against him.

Would I ask you to do anything against him?

Hah, that boy's like a son to me.

All I want from him is what belongs to me.

What?

I'd rather you hear it from him. He'll tell ya.

He took it out of my vault under the ocean.

You have a vault under the ocean?

Mm-hmm.

And someday, it'll all be yours.

Will you do it?

No.

Julie..

A daughter owes certain things to her father.

Love, honor, obedience...

Let's talk about what you owe me.

- I give you an allowance. - Oh, that.

A child has to learn the value of money.

Do you know what our telephone bill was here last month?

We..

[Sighs]

We are speaking of loyalty.

Well, what do you want me to do?

It's obvious, he's smitten with you

as any healthy young man should be.

You are a perfect blossom.

Flutter your petals.

Find out what it was he removed from my vault.

I know what it was.

- You know? - He told me.

Oh, and now

like a dutiful daughter, you're going to tell me.

No, papa. I won't.

Never.

That's my baby. You keep an open mind.

[Dramatic music]

[Music continues]

Unbelievable.

A perfect fit.

As though it were hermetically sealed.

That's an impossible balance.

[Music continues]

Stale, musty air.

You know, I'll bet there's a different

chemical make-up in here.

Can you read it?

It is an invocation to the hawk god as to what to do

when he emerges in the after life.

Elizabeth.

[Music continues]

[Panting]

I cannot open it.

[Music continues]

Mark, the torches are going out.

It's a low level of oxygen in here.

We're gonna run out in minutes.

We better put them out.

No, wait.

It said..."Counterforce."

Elizabeth, what is meant by counterforce?

Counter weight.

A balance of forces of mass.

Did you touch anything or lean on anything when you came in?

No, I don't think I, uh..

I was over here and was talking to you..

Yes, I touched somewhere around here.

[Music continues]

[Dramatic music]

[Music continues]

- Are you alright, Dr. Merrill? - Yes.

Never been so glad to get back to the ship before.

We must take a closer look at the hawk.

Uh, I'm afraid that's going to be difficult.

It's been confiscated.

(Schubert) Collectors.

Pillage the native artefact.

Robbing tombs, making off with national treasures.

It's good to see at least there's one piece safe

in its country of origin.

If I'd been able to help just that much

I'll sleep the better for it.

How are we going to get it?

Rest easy, son. We'll find a way.

I offered to buy the museum but the sentimental fools

wouldn't sell it.

Brent, you're beginning to attract attention.

Let's go.

(Schubert) 'Brent, what do you suppose'

'the burly gentleman we hired could do with that door?'

(Brent) 'Oh, Mr. Schubert.'

Juliette, I'm not without worldly wisdom.

I have read about these things.

Were you sent here to seduce me?

What?

Women have been used for that before.

- Like madam hari. - Who?

The famous spy.

Were you sent by your father to get information from me?

Mata hari.

- What? - The name of the spy.

Oh. Thank you.

I swear I wasn't.

I believe you.

[Sighs]

But I betrayed you.

You did?

I told my papa this afternoon

what you told me about the hawk.

I see.

Do you hate me?

No.

I wouldn't blame you if you refuse to sit down with me.

Juliette, if you have any influence with him

you must convince him what he's about to do

is a dangerous undertaking.

You don't know what it's like being his daughter.

No, I do not.

He doesn't listen to me.

Do you know what his plans are?

You must tell me.

You're asking me to betray him.

He will be in great danger if he attempts

to use the power of the hawk.

- He will? - The world will be in danger.

Juliette, it is the truth.

I heard him say he's planning to steal it from the museum.

- When? - Tonight.

We must stop him.

How are you gonna stop it?

I do not know.

[Indistinct]

[Explosion]

[Tires screeching]

(Mark) 'Juliette, this is wrong.'

(Juliette) 'You want the hawk, don't you?'

- yes, of course. - Well, then let's go get it.

But this is stealing. It makes us no better than your father.

Everybody's better than papa.

Perhaps, if we spoke to him, explained the danger..

Mark, papa's a mule. He needs to be taught a lesson.

I have no desire to teach anyone a lesson.

I know what I'm doing.

Are you sure the window's open?

Yes, it's my room.

Mark?

This is like we are eloping.

Except backwards.

[Dramatic music]

[Crickets chirping]

I believe the technical phrase for it

is breaking and entering.

- Papa! - Hush, child.

Your papa is here to protect you.

Mr. Schubert.

Oh, the brass of the scoundrel

calling me by name.

Papa!

You caught him in the act, constable.

Breaking into the premises and assaulting my daughter.

It's Mark Harris.

Who?

The man's a cad or worse.

The law must take its course

must it not, constable?

That it must, Mr. Schubert.

Now come along, captain. Come nicely.

You're under arrest.

[Dramatic music]

Worry not.

I'll stand by ya.

(Schubert) 'Ask yourself, Brent'

what is the source of the power in that bird?

How did it get buried in those rocks?

We're not far from easter island.

No doubt you're familiar with what the magazines call

the mystery of that island?

Who carved those gigantic statues?

Who placed them where they stand?

What inconceivable engines moved those massive wings?

Oh, Mr. Schubert. That's almost poetry.

Science and poetry

at some higher level, they unite.

- Can you remember all that? - Yes, sir.

You see that it gets typed up and filed.

Continue the experiment.

I'm off on a mercy mission to an old friend.

Yes, sir.

Captain..

You're not eating your food.

It is not food I need.

- It is water. - What's the matter?

You don't hear anything about the water shortage?

Please.

The trouble is, captain

you do not read the tourist's folders.

[Clicks tongue]

'This island water'

'is bad for the tourists.'

you think I want to get in some kind of trouble, huh?

(Schubert) 'Constable.'

good to see ya.

Mr. Schubert.

Resting well, Mark?

Mr. Schubert, I must speak to you about the hawk.

[Laughs]

First things first.

I'm a father before I'm a friend.

I'd like to know what your intentions

are towards my daughter.

My intentions?

You must know you've seriously compromised her.

Do you intend to do the honorable thing?

What is the honorable thing?

[Chuckles]

Marrying her, of course.

I'm prepared to be very generous as a father-in-law.

Mr. Schubert, we... We're not in love.

There's no talk of marriage.

Think of what a union it would cement.

Schubert and Harris.

Marine enterprises.

(Schubert) 'What things we could do together.'

what do you say, son? Is it a deal?

Mr. Schubert, we are wasting time talking of this.

I must warn you about the hawk.

Mark, I don't appreciate being put off

when I am offering you my hearth and home.

You know, you're not looking very well.

(Schubert) 'Kinda dried out, if you ask me.'

eh, we'll talk again in a few hours.

You may be feeling differently.

Has he been behaving?

- He's been asking for water. - Oh.

Tell me, how often are prisoners permitted

to bathe in this excellent jail?

Oh, once a month, maybe twice.

That often?

Well, as you see, he's real clean.

Keep up the good work, constable.

Thank you, Mr. Schubert.

Mr. Schubert, please.

[Door clangs]

[Instrumental music]

[Panting]

You said you'd let me in.

Local calls are three minutes.

After that, you must deposit another coin.

Do you understand me, missus, hmm?

[Sighs]

[Clanking]

Mark, I'm so ashamed.

It is not your fault.

I was outside that window.

I heard everything he said.

I'm sorry.

Juliette, I need water.

Here's some coffee.

I need large amounts of water for my body.

You are strange, aren't you?

Juliette, do you see that hose?

(Mark) 'Can you reach it for me?'

you don't want that, that's what they use

to punish troublesome prisoners.

[Panting]

You know, I have a great deal of respect for you.

And that I think you're an excellent person.

(Juliette) 'Mark, stop it. Help!.'

[indistinct screaming]

Help! Mark! Mark, stop!

Help! Help me!

'He's gone crazy!'

[screaming]

Stop it, Mark, stop it, Mark!

(Juliette) Help!

[Screaming]

Alright, that's enough.

[Bars creaking]

[Intense music]

[Music continues]

[Phone buzzing]

Brent, I am in the middle of lamb julienne.

Is this more important than lamb julienne?

Yes, sir, Mr. Schubert.

- You'd better come out here. - What the devil for?

Please..

Mr. Schubert?

Brent?

Brent? Brent?

Twit!

[Intense music]

Brent, I'm sick and tired of your squeakin'.

Now, this had better be good.

Stand up, I'm not going to hit you.

[Whimpering]

Brent, turn it off.

- Make it stop! - I can't.

Hit it with a stick.

[Whimpers]

[Thunder cracks]

Mr. Schubert!

[Whimpering]

[Hawk screeching]

[Gasps]

[Thunder cracks]

[Screeching]

[Gasps]

[Screeching]

[Chirping]

[Chirping]

[Screeching]

[Screeching]

[Screeching]

[Music continues]

[Chirping]

[Screeching]

[Screeching]

[Explosion]

[Screeching]

Mark, what happened?

The energy was the life force of the bird

contained in the band around its leg.

That stuffed bird?

It was not stuffed, Juliette.

Where is it?

It has flown away.

Mark, are you sure you're alright?

I am fine.

And you?

Well, my car stopped, I had to run

the last couple of blocks.

I'm glad you are here.

Are you?

I would like to apologize

for what I had to do to you

in the jail cell.

It's alright. I'm used to it.

Will I see you again?

I hope so, Juliette.

(Cw) 'Mark, you there?'

yes, cw, this is Mark.

- 'Is Elizabeth there, too?' - Yes.

(Cw) 'Here's some of the facts on the second blackout.'

it covered an area almost

four times as large as the first one.

(Cw) 'Complete blackout of all forms'

'of electrical energy.'

we felt it here, cw.

Fortunately, it was over very fast, a matter of minutes.

No pun intended, but can either of you

cast light on why it began or why it ended?

It is as Elizabeth has told you, cw.

A power in the hawk.

Complicated by whatever schubert did to it.

Mr. Schubert is no longer in possession of the hawk.

That's a good thing.

Now, we're all anxious to get our hands on that thing.

(Cw) 'Find out the source of it's power.'

'do you know where the hawk is, Mark?

No, cw, I do not.

[Instrumental music]

Jomo, take us home.

[Theme music]
