Original subtitles

(Distant voices on radio)

(Eerie whistling)

Hey, Skipper. EIIis here. You better come up and have a Iook.

There's something alongside.

- Probably the Iatest sUbmarine. - 'Be straight up.'

Well, where is this monster of the deep?

(Explosion)

It must have come from that sUb. - What's happened?

(Man) Get some men onto that fire.

(AII talking at once)

Under attack.. . Submarine...

Airborne missiles.. . Look like. .. flying fish...

Under attack...

(Radio) 'Kingston? Kingston? Come in!'

I foUnd this place Iast year on a cycling holiday with my wife.

Thought it'd be a good idea to contrast modern fishing methods with the old .

Look at that. Could be back in the 1 7th centUry.

(Straker) It's good. Very good.

Look at the textUre of that brickwork.

HUndreds of years in it.

Most of those boats are over 50 years old.

Really? - Don't bUild 'em Iike that nowadays.

No.

It's uncanny. These men work purely by instinct.

No epUipment, just experience handed down from generation to generation.

And the amazing thing is that only two hoUrs before this,

our underwater detector reported nothing in the area.

(Man on radio) 'Mayday! Deep Space Probe 67 calling.

- 'Deep Space Probe 67 calling.' - Control receiving. Come in, 6?.

'?5 U FOs massing.

'Concentrating in area NML-1 ?.

'We've been seen. Three U FOs approaching. Taking evasive action.'

DSP-67, come in!

Come in.

67, can yoU hear me?

67, come in.

Wait a minute. What's that? That fish...

That's strange. They're only foUnd in the mid-Atlantic,

never round oUr coasts.

I say, we've foUnd something here.

Did yoU notice that fish? (Beeping)

Have a frame blown up as soon as possible.

Right.

You'II have to excUse me. I was so intrigued with your pictUre,

I forgot my meeting with the backer of our next film, and I'm very late.

- I qUite understand. - YoU have a very good film there.

Thank you, Mr Straker.

Get an Underwater cameraman down there tomorrow.

We may have a very interesting new dimension to this film.

Deep Space Probe 67 has been destroyed.

They saw a bUild-up of UFOs in area nM L-1 2.

NML-1 ?? That's only four hours away.

- L've alerted all stations. - Good.

A mass attack... OUr defences will knock half of them out

- lt makes no sense. - Maybe they expect to get through.

They know it's not possible, Unless they have something Up their sleeve.

PUt Space Observation Platform Watchdog in that zone immediately.

CompUterise every scrap of information, no matter how small.

All this way jUst to photograph fish which shouldn't even be here.

- He must have more money than sense. - Well, if you see any,

shoot aboUt 200 feet from aboUt six different angles, OK?

- Testing. One, two, three. - LoUd and clear.

(Diver on radio) 'At Ieast the water's warm.'

- Do you see anything? - 'Not yet. Strange...

'The deeper I go, the warmer the water.

'YoUr fish are here, several tropical kinds.

'Must be this warm water. I can see something else, like a flying fish.

- 'It's large, silver. ..' - Are there sharks in this area?

'It's turning towards me.. .'

(Scream cut short)

Here, give Us a hand. Come on! Give us a hand.

It's been cUt!

- He was photographing fish? - Yes.

A mid-Atlantic species, never before foUnd off the coast of Cornwall.

Did anyone check to find out about sharks in this area?

I did , personally. I was assUred that they very rarely came there,

and the odd one that did was harmless.

BUt the air pipe was severed.

Very well. That's all, gentlemen.

When our investigations are complete, I'll call to discuss the claim.

Good day to you.

Well, if you'II excUse me, I must go and see his widow.

Yes. If there's anything I can do, please Iet me know.

Thank you.

LieUtenant Anderson, get me Skydiver.

Paul.

That cameraman said something about a large, silver flying fish.

Last week, the freighter Kingston was sUnk here in the mid-Atlantic

by missiles Iike flying fish.

And the species of fish off Cornwall are normally foUnd there.

- YoU think there's a link? - It's too mUch of a coincidence.

(Anderson on intercom) 'Skydiver for yoU , sir.'

Captain, proceed to the area where the Kingston was sUnk.

I'm having instrUctions prepared. I'll contact yoU in 30 minUtes.

'This is Space Intruder Detector

'relaying report from Watchdog.

'U FOs maintaining position in area n ML-1 2.'

Take her down to the sea bed. Let's have a Iook around there.

What's the latest on Watchdog?

No change. U FOs still in stationary position, sir.

What are they waiting for? What does the compUter think?

With so Iittle information, it's reluctant to answer

but it said they're either waiting for reinforcements

bad weather to negate radar, or non-operation of defences...

namely SHADO Control.

Well, we know there are no signs of reinforcements,

the weather forecast for the next month is excellent,

and SHADO certainly won't cease operations.

The next batch of information you feed in, add a drop of castor oil.

How's the water temperatUre?

1 5 degrees higher than the sUrtace.

- Still rising. - Maybe the volcano's active?

No, we checked that. Get SHADO Control.

Yes, sir.

(Woman on intercom) 'Skydiver for yoU , Commander.'

Thank you. Yes, Captain?

'We're in the search area. Thought you should know.

'Water temperatUre near volcano 30 degrees higher than normal.'

I see. Thank yoU , Captain. I'll call yoU back in a minute.

Have Colonel Foster bring in that report on the Underwater cameraman.

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

Another link. Listen to this, PaUI...

"The deeper I go, the warmer the water becomes."

- Get me Skydiver. - (Woman) 'Yes, sir.'

Take a look at this.

The deep water aroUnd that volcano is a lot warmer than it should be.

(Captain) 'Skydiver.'

Captain, Using yoUr temperature gaUges,

follow that stream of warm water.

Find out where it Ieads to and what's causing it.

- Report back to me every 1 5 minUtes. - 'Very good, sir.'

You know, I have an idea they'll finish up jUst aboUt.. . here.

- Cornwall. - Yes.

- The fish follow the warm water. - Exactly.

LieUtenant, what's the Iatest on Watchdog?

(Woman) 'Lieutenant Anderson's on ?4 hours' leave, sir.

'Last report via Sl D received three minUtes ago. No change.'

Thank you.

(Whirring and clicking)

Stop engines.

- TemperatUre rise of three degrees. - Captain!

Evasive action.

- Periscope depth. Slowly. - Aye aye, sir.

Good work, Captain. Resume yoUr original search.

And, Captain. .. watch yoUrself.

'Yes, sir.'

It seems a UFO is using that volcano as a front door to the Atlantic.

Skydiver also foUnd the reason for the rise in water temperature.

- What was that? - An Undersea cable.

The UFO was Using it as an energy sUpply.

BUt they can travel underwater on their own power.

Yes - for short distances.

- YoU think it's been to Cornwall? - It looks that way.

Then there mUst be an energy plant Under the volcano.

And if the water temperature is so high...

it's generating a Iot more power than is needed to drive one UFO.

Yes.

I wonder what Skydiver will find at the end of that cable.

Look!

- Captain, what's the news? - Nothing, sir.

It appears to be completely smooth.

- Any entrance? - None we can see.

- Let's go and have a closer Iook. - (Captain) Dive.

LieUtenant. YoU know Colonel Foster.

Well, I think a cup of Skydiver coffee would be jUst great.

Come on, Paul. Let's get our water wings on.

After you've dropped us, get oUt of sight, Captain.

We'II rendezvoUs back here in 45 minutes.

Yes, sir.

(Hissing)

(Straker) 'Testing radio link.'

(Foster) 'Receiving. Five by five.'

(Engines hum)

(Straker) 'There it is.

'Take it easy, PaUI.'

(Foster) 'l think I've found something. Around this side.'

'OK, PaUI, Lead the way.'

(Engines stop)

(Foster) 'JUst here. Could be some kind of porthole or window.'

(Straker) 'It's possible. Try scraping away the oUter layer.'

(Foster) 'lt's coming.'

- 'My God, PaUl! It's Anderson.' - 'lt can't be!'

'See for yoUrself. It's LieUtenant Anderson.'

(CIUnk)

What are we going to do? Blow it up?

No, I want to find out what's going on in there.

- How? There's no entrance. - There mUst be.

I'II examine this. Maybe we can find oUt what that thing's made of.

- What did you see, sir? - l'm afraid I can't say, Captain.

You'II find oUt why later. Take us up.

SUrtace.

Stay by that dome, Captain. Report anything unusUal.

If necessary - bUt only as a Iast resort - blast it out of the water.

I'II contact you when I get back to SHADO HQ.

Very good, sir.

- Anything from Watchdog? - Still nothing, sir.

Please tell Colonel Lake l want Anderson's psychiatric analysis right away.

- Yes, sir. - Still can't believe he's a traitor.

We can't deny what we saw with oUr own eyes, can we?

"OUestion 1 . From Anderson's psychiatric report,

"I can find no reason for disloyalty.

"OUestion ?. WithoUt sUfficient information,

"I can only supply Unsatisfactory answers.

"The most l can say on the Iast question,

Is there any link between the Undersea dome

"and the massing of UFOs in area nM L-1 2?

Is: "If there is a link, it can only be connected with my previoUs answers.

"A - Reinforcements. Possibly the dome houses U FOs.

"B - It contains epuipment to be used to negate radar.

"C - lt is there to bring about the non-fUnction of SHADO

"to allow the U FOs entry into Earth's atmosphere."

Hmm.

Well, that's a mass of Useless information.

I agree. ls there any way, Colonel, of rephrasing the pUestions?

We have asked 1 2 different ways, sir. Each time, the same answer.

- There jUst isn't enough information. - Yes, yes, yes. I'm sorry.

Paul, we won't find oUt anything Until we get inside that dome.

As soon as the analyst's report has been fed in on my knife, Iet me know.

Hmm.

I don't know what you're talking aboUt.

- What dome? - The dome we saw you in. We saw you!

You coUIdn't. I've spent the Iast 24 hoUrs at home.

- Witnesses? - I told yoU . I was by myself.

What were you doing in that dome?

I don't know anything aboUt any dome.

There's no sense wasting more time. Doctor.

All right...

I was never in any dome, whether you saw me or not.

I don't know what this is all aboUt but the answer better be pretty good.

- How long, Doctor? - Another five seconds.

I think I'm about ready.

Now, what were you doing in that Underwater dome?

I don't know anything about an Underwater dome.

Where have you been for the Iast ?4 hoUrs?

- L've been at home by myself. - Did yoU sleep?

- Yes, I slept. - Did yoU Iock the doors?

Yes. I locked all the doors.

- Why? - There have been bUrglaries.

Have you ever been to Cornwall?

Never.

Look, Doctor, is there any chance he's resistant?

No, no, no. This drUg is infallible.

Another shot.

One more.

Sorry.

Tell us aboUt the dome.

I don't know about the dome.

I don't believe it.

There's only one way to find out what's inside that damned dome.

- Doctor. .? - Yes, he'll be all right.

PUt LieUtenant Anderson Under lock and key.

'This is SID.

'The U FOs in area NML-1 ? are still stationary.

'The estimated number has increased to 50.

'Watchdog maintaining constant observation.

"The substance from which the undersea constrUction is made

"is of a molecUIar structUre Unknown to us.

"The entrance coUId be made by pressure.

"The rUptUre woUId be self-sealing."

- Thank you, Colonel. - l hope that's satisfactory, sir.

Colonel Lake... Look, I do Understand the problems,

and the answers are satisfactory.

Thank you, sir.

Will you please ask Colonel Foster to get his bags packed?

- Captain. - Commander.

- Well, let's go down. - Yes, sir. Dive.

Sorry to have to keep yoU in the dark, Captain.

When I tell you why, yoU'll understand.

LieUtenant Anderson is a traitor. He was inside that dome.

- That's not possible. - I'm afraid it's the trUth.

Colonel Foster and I are going inside.

I've no idea what we'll find, but stay within range.

If we're not back in one hour, destroy it.

- But Commander. . . - No buts, Captain.

If we're not back by then, we won't be coming back anyway.

- One hour. Understand? - Yes, sir.

(Engines hum)

(Engines stop)

(Foster) There's been a UFO.

In Unknown coUntry, I think it's better to travel light.

53 minutes to go.

Well, Iet's see what wonders await Us down here.

(Footsteps)

I handed him over to security less than two hoUrs ago.

Maybe they forgot to Iock the door. I'll see what he's Up to.

- L'II investigate, too. - Good idea. We've got 44 minUtes.

(Footsteps)

See anything, Paul?

(Footsteps)

Dr Livingstone, I presUme.

What happened to yoU?

You. Look.

How?

I gUess we'd call it some kind of plastic surgery.

- But why? - Ah.. . That is the question.

Anderson... Think what we've done to him .

After this we'd better stick together, PaUI.

Come on. Let's hide it.

Let's try this way.

(Foster) As good as any.

Ever had that feeling yoU've been here before?

(Straker) Yeah, sure looks familiar.

BUt why?

(Beep)

SHADO Control to SID.

(Rewinds)

(Beep) SHADO Control to Sl D.

Come in, SID.

(Beep)

SHADO Control to Moonbase. Come in, Moonbase.

(EIIis) 'Moonbase receiving you, Control.'

(Beep) UFOs approaching from NML-1 ?.

Do not attempt to intercept. Repeat, do not attempt to intercept.

(EIIis) 'Do not Understand . Do not Understand .

'YoU say do not intercept? Is this correct?'

(Beep) Correct. Straker's orders.

U FOs to be dealt with by Earth's defences. Over and oUt.

(Man on radio) 'Do not Understand. You say do not intercept.'

Is this correct?

(Beep) Correct, Skydiver.

Commander Straker's orders.

U FOs will be dealt with by groUnd defences.

Over and out.

The compUter was right.

They planned to take over SHADO Control and Iet those UFOs throUgh.

How did they get our voices?

They've obviously recorded our commUnications.

By using the words they need , they can make Us say anything.

Why all this elaborate miming?

Don't forget, they'll be seen on the TV screens.

Come on, Paul. Let's go.

Load the tUbes.

Yes, sir.

We'II split Up. That way one of Us'II stand a chance.

OK. First back stops the countdown.

No, there isn't time. They're making their move.

- Good lUck, PaUI. - Good Iuck.

Eight minUtes. Only another eight minUtes.

Captain!

Thank God . Did yoU see Commander Straker?

No, sir.

(SID) 'The massed U FOs are moving out of area NML-1 ?.

'Must presume attack course.'

- Any sign of the commander? - No, sir.

- Arm the torpedoes. - Torpedoes armed, sir.

Fire one.

Fire one, sir.

One away, sir.

(Lieutenant) Colonel Foster!

- Fire two. - Yes, sir. Fire two.

Two away, sir.

(SID) 'U FOs now on positive track.

'Heading for Earth at attack velocity in two waves.'

Message received. Commander, they're on their way.

Now.

SHADO Control to Moonbase. Attack and destroy second wave of U FOs.

Red alert. Red alert. Interceptors, immediate launch.

(AIarm sounds)

- Skydiver. - SHADO Control to Skydiver.

Attack and destroy first wave of U FOs.

We still don't know how they knew what SHADO Iooked like,

- or what we look Iike. - And possibly, we never will.

Could have been some form of x-ray photography.

At Ieast they won't try that again.

Don't bet on it, Paul.
