00:02:13 20 years of unremitting
00:02:16 to reach the North Role
00:02:21 It would have astounded Reary to learn
00:02:26 the vast, frozen
00:02:29 had become a vital highway
00:02:33 Not just in the skies...
00:02:35 but also deep under the ice...
00:02:37 in the frigid five-million-square-mile
00:02:43 Here, great passenger-and cargo-carrying
00:02:48 glided by the dozens
00:02:52 until a series of
00:02:55 threatened to close
00:02:59 The decisive moment came
00:03:05 when the undersea atomic liner,
00:03:09 reached 87 degrees, 10 minutes
00:03:12 only a few miles
00:03:46 [Electricity Crackling]
00:04:33 [Narrator]
00:04:36 the next phase
00:04:38 occurred May 1 0 in Washington...
00:04:41 at a hush-hush supersecret meeting...
00:04:43 of the Arctic theater war room.
00:04:48 Gentlemen, this is the man
00:04:51 The skipper of
00:04:54 Commander Dan Wendover.
00:04:56 This is Justin Murdock,
00:04:58 - Mr. Murdock.
00:05:00 And I know you've heard a lot
00:05:04 - Doctor.
00:05:06 Dr. Kent had a lot to do
00:05:10 Sir Ian Hunt just flew in from London.
00:05:13 The Dr. Hunt, winner of
00:05:16 Oh, let's just say I took the bow
00:05:21 Uh, sit down.
00:05:26 Gentlemen, to begin,
00:05:30 from a detailed staff study
00:05:34 ''In our judgment,
00:05:37 may prove the gravest emergency
00:05:42 Any comments on that statement?
00:05:45 A bit fanciful, isn't it, sir?
00:05:48 Possibly.
00:05:51 Let me read you, uh,
00:05:55 ''Destruction of four surface vessels.
00:05:59 ''Radioactivity in Arctic waters,
00:06:04 ''Reculiar television images
00:06:09 ''Seven polar atom subs...
00:06:11 vanished without a trace. ''
00:06:15 ''Fanciful,'' did you say, uh, Sir Ian?
00:06:17 [Chuckles]
00:06:20 And now, Dan,
00:06:22 You skipper the Tiger Shark...
00:06:25 the most advanced,
00:06:28 Right now she's undergoing emergency
00:06:32 in the Bremerton Navy Yard.
00:06:34 The orders call for special observation
00:06:39 removal of all but two atomic torpedoes...
00:06:43 special launching equipment
00:06:48 and a special escape hatch
00:06:52 The Lungfish?
00:06:54 Yes. Uh, a deep exploration device,
00:06:59 The mission of the Tiger Shark...
00:07:01 is to hunt down and identify the cause
00:07:05 If humanly possible...
00:07:08 you will remove it.
00:07:18 [Man] Not that I don't think
00:07:21 is the finest exec
00:07:25 and not that he isn't
00:07:29 Come on, Dave.
00:07:31 Now be quiet, little mother.
00:07:35 our friend Reef is no less than the number one
00:07:41 Nuclear powered.
00:07:43 And when it comes to women- Well...
00:07:46 he has got a built-in sonar detector that -
00:07:49 Dave, you know you're exaggerating,
00:07:52 You know, on most boats,
00:07:55 between the exec
00:07:58 but in the case of Lieutenant David Milburn
00:08:02 But su - She's a nice girl.
00:08:04 Uh, I've seen you work.
00:08:06 I think she deserves a fighting chance.
00:08:08 Helen, I appeal to you.
00:08:10 Dave, look at me.
00:08:13 Will you please
00:08:15 There you are.
00:08:17 Don't bother to call.Just -Just drop in.
00:08:23 [Sighs]
00:08:36 Dave is exaggerating, you know.
00:08:38 I mean, a man spends
00:08:41 it'll take his whole leave
00:08:43 By that time,
00:08:46 It won't take me long to defrost.
00:09:05 What was I saying
00:09:09 Yeah, you, uh -
00:09:14 Only show one-ninth above water.
00:09:18 After that kiss,
00:09:22 - Do you feel anything?
00:09:26 No, I mean that this is
00:09:28 That we didn't just meet accidentally.
00:09:31 Oh, that's original.
00:09:33 Doesn't the next chorus
00:09:36 ''Let's not waste
00:09:38 Any second there could be
00:09:41 Well, I've seen stranger things happen.
00:09:43 It happens all the time to heroes
00:09:47 The hero gets his leave canceled,
00:09:50 And she spends the rest of her life
00:09:52 Oh, honey.
00:09:54 Let's not waste
00:10:01 [Knocking On Door]
00:10:05 What's that pounding?
00:10:09 Need I say more?
00:10:11 Mmm.
00:10:17 Reef, look.
00:10:38 - Oh, no.
00:10:44 What is it?
00:10:48 Oh, no.
00:11:10 [Dave]
00:11:14 - They caught you too, huh?
00:11:17 Tomorrow's Janie's birthday.
00:11:19 Poor little kid's been looking forward two
00:11:23 - Now -
00:11:26 What could be worse
00:11:30 Disappointing a big girl.
00:11:33 Julie?
00:11:35 [Laughing]
00:11:37 Really tough, old buddy.
00:11:41 Oh, really tough.
00:12:12 Skipper, I thought
00:12:14 I did.Just got back. Reef, I want you to meet
00:12:17 Sir Ian Hunt and Dr. Clifford Kent.
00:12:21 - Glad to know you, sir.
00:12:23 - Dr. Kent. Met you before.
00:12:26 You gentlemen are going with us.
00:12:30 We'll discuss that later. Roberts.
00:12:34 - Have Chief Griffin report to me
00:12:38 - Watkins.
00:12:40 - Will you show these gentlemen to their quarters?
00:12:44 Well. Sorry we had to
00:12:47 - Yeah.
00:12:51 Yeah.
00:12:54 Will do.
00:13:00 - Oh, it's you.
00:13:02 Griff, what's the scoop? Hauled out in
00:13:05 We going to war, or what?
00:13:07 Don't you worry, Chester. When the skipper wants
00:13:13 - I don't like it. I mean, this is all mighty funny.
00:13:16 Suppose you get aboard anyway.
00:13:18 - I don't like it.
00:13:22 I like it. I like it.
00:13:24 Hey.
00:13:26 Well, skipper, I think I'll stow my gear.
00:13:28 - Well, Reef, I got some bad news for ya.
00:13:31 - You're gonna have to share quarters this trip.
00:13:33 - Dr. Neilsen.
00:13:38 - Huh?
00:13:48 Dave, stand by to shove off
00:13:51 Right, skipper.
00:13:55 Well, looks like we're gonna
00:13:57 Been a long -
00:13:59 Carl.
00:14:01 You?
00:14:05 Oh, of course. I should have suspected
00:14:10 - I thought it was your father.
00:14:13 - Dad had a heart attack two days ago.
00:14:16 It was mild. He'll be all right.
00:14:20 And they thought you could
00:14:23 There was no choice.
00:14:25 Dad and I developed
00:14:27 Except for him,
00:14:30 - You could have trained somebody else.
00:14:34 Look, do you think I wanted to come?
00:14:36 If it didn't mean so much to Dad, proving his
00:14:42 That I can believe.
00:14:49 [Narrator] The Tiger Shark left
00:14:54 the morning of May 1 1...
00:14:56 on what was to prove the strangest,
00:15:02 atomic or otherwise.
00:15:11 Simultaneously with
00:15:13 and with his crew still in the dark
00:15:17 Skipper Wendover made
00:15:23 The men would remain unbriefed
00:15:26 until the Tiger Shark
00:15:29 and was headed for open sea.
00:15:41 Who the devil belongs to this gear?
00:15:44 [Man]
00:15:49 Oh. You two guys, huh?
00:15:53 And just what do you do around here?
00:15:55 Underwater demolition.
00:15:59 Yeah, I know.
00:16:03 Yeah, we're off tin cans.
00:16:05 We've, uh, looked the pigboat over
00:16:08 but can't seem to find an empty locker,
00:16:11 An empty locker?
00:16:15 Are you kiddin'?
00:16:17 This whole deal is makin'
00:16:19 What are frogmen
00:16:23 Following orders,
00:16:31 Beats me.
00:16:35 Yeah, well, uh, in the meantime,
00:16:40 Come on.
00:17:03 [Narrator]
00:17:05 the Tiger Shark, running submerged
00:17:08 had left the sound behind...
00:17:10 and was headed for open sea.
00:17:17 Here are our orders, Reef.
00:17:19 Look 'em over while I fill in the crew.
00:17:25 Now hear this.
00:17:28 I know you're wondering
00:17:32 [Wendover On P.A.]
00:17:35 Our mission is to find out
00:17:39 Once we cross the Arctic Circle,
00:17:44 Rlease remember it.
00:17:46 That's about it.
00:17:48 Now you know as much as I
00:17:52 Oh, incidentally,
00:17:55 that this was
00:17:57 I know you won't make a liar out of me.
00:17:59 Carry on.
00:18:06 That's it.
00:18:15 What do you think?
00:18:18 I think I should have joined the air force.
00:18:27 [Narrator] A week later, the Tiger Shark
00:18:32 So far, the voyage was routine, uneventful.
00:18:35 But the nearer they came
00:18:38 the more the tension increased...
00:18:40 the more tiny irritations
00:18:45 the more the crewmen pondered
00:18:50 On the morning of May 20...
00:18:52 the Tiger Shark crossed the Arctic Circle
00:19:32 You're always asking me
00:19:35 There goes one of the best reasons
00:19:38 - Huh?
00:19:42 I don't get it.
00:19:45 I guess his father, Skipper Neilsen, retired
00:19:50 I guess.
00:19:52 One of the finest men and officers alive.
00:19:55 A real hero
00:19:57 World War II.
00:19:59 Taught engineering and design
00:20:02 - Fought like a demon for atomic subs.
00:20:07 So, when his only son dropped out of school,
00:20:12 all sounding like borrowed propaganda -
00:20:14 ''Ban the atomic test.''
00:20:17 ''Spend the military budget for peace.''
00:20:20 Well, it just about
00:20:23 Then when the newspapers picked it up...
00:20:25 called Carl the honest, sincere son
00:20:32 well, Captain Neilsen
00:20:35 Oh, he still keeps his hand in with projects
00:20:40 but it broke him all the same.
00:20:43 Have, uh - Have you talked to Carl?
00:20:46 Tried to get his side?
00:20:49 His side?
00:20:51 He's all front with no back.
00:20:54 How can he have a side?
00:21:02 Either of you men seen Dr. Neilsen?
00:21:06 He's in here, sir.
00:21:12 Oh, uh, Tuttle, Powell, would you men
00:21:15 Sure, Mr. Holloway.
00:21:18 Dr. Neilsen.
00:21:27 What is it?
00:21:29 You are out.
00:21:31 This came for you.
00:21:33 - My father?
00:21:36 No. As a matter of fact,
00:21:38 Just got out of the hospital.
00:21:47 - What did you mean I'm out?
00:21:52 We can ask them to bring him out
00:21:55 or we can put the Shark
00:22:00 You trade school boys
00:22:02 Anybody who doesn't think like a little
00:22:07 You said it. I didn't.
00:22:09 Well, wearing a uniform doesn't bestow
00:22:13 It just so happens I'm not a coward -
00:22:16 And before I'd risk my father's life -
00:22:18 - We're all risking our lives.
00:22:21 but Dad stays where he is,
00:22:24 Oh, you are a mixed-up oddball,
00:22:28 Well, perhaps.
00:22:32 to spend my life at a Paleozoic pastime that
00:22:37 I'm referring to war-
00:22:39 that strikes me as the worst cowardice of all -
00:22:43 - You mean nothing's worth fighting for?
00:22:45 The dignity of man,
00:22:48 Now, you show me a man who says you win these
00:22:52 Oh, Carl, you talk like
00:22:58 You talk well.
00:23:01 even brilliantly sometimes.
00:23:03 But you're all talk.
00:23:07 your ideals?
00:23:09 You mentioned my uniform.
00:23:13 They represent what I'm willing to do...
00:23:15 how hard I'm willing to work
00:23:18 I doubt your willingness for anything...
00:23:20 except talk about what you're against.
00:23:23 That talk darn near killed your father.
00:23:30 [Loud Bang]
00:23:33 - [Man On R.A.]
00:23:58 [Dave] The instruments have all gone crazy,
00:24:01 Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
00:24:10 - What hit us?
00:24:13 but could it be
00:24:15 Underwater?
00:24:17 [Dr. Kent] High-intensity arcs
00:24:21 and millions of volts discharged
00:24:25 Is there any way out of this?
00:24:27 Seems all around.
00:24:29 What about down?
00:24:32 - I don't know.
00:24:34 - Maximum angle, maximum depth.
00:24:38 Take her down.
00:24:52 Sir Ian has evolved a theory.
00:24:54 At first I wasn't about to buy it...
00:24:57 but we have eliminated one by one
00:25:02 Mmm. It is rather fantastic.
00:25:06 But, uh...
00:25:08 here...
00:25:13 is a chart of the Arctic region.
00:25:15 On it I've plotted every instant of these
00:25:20 the sinkings, electrical storms...
00:25:24 our own experiences.
00:25:27 Now, uh...
00:25:30 here is where we encountered
00:25:36 The Sturgeon was lost about here.
00:25:39 The others here, here...
00:25:43 and here.
00:25:47 - Do you see it?
00:25:49 The pattern. The pattern.
00:25:54 Each incident occurred almost precisely
00:26:00 A line drawn through
00:26:03 makes almost a complete circle
00:26:06 Which adds up to what, Sir Ian?
00:26:11 I cannot accept the idea
00:26:14 either random or natural.
00:26:18 I believe they were motivated by...
00:26:21 some sort of intelligence.
00:26:23 Do you mean that somebody is -
00:26:25 I didn't mean to imply
00:26:29 Well, what on earth
00:26:34 Oh, perhaps...
00:26:37 Perhaps it's an intelligence
00:26:41 What can we do about it, sir?
00:26:44 I've been thinking about that.
00:26:46 As you see, these occurrences
00:26:50 almost a perfect circle
00:26:56 However, there may be
00:27:01 here in the area of the Queen Victoria Sea
00:27:06 north of Murmansk and Finland.
00:27:09 Supposing your theorizing is correct...
00:27:11 then this could be
00:27:14 Yes. Yes.
00:27:18 But supposing we, uh,
00:27:22 Supposing...
00:27:24 the Tiger Shark was
00:27:29 He could be right.
00:27:33 We'll chart our course right straight across
00:27:38 The Queen Victoria Sea.
00:27:44 [Narrator]
00:27:46 the Tiger Shark moved across
00:27:50 toward a rendezvous with what?
00:28:03 We've been running due south
00:28:06 By my reckoning we should be about here,
00:28:11 - And that should be -
00:28:15 - Prepare to surface. Flank speed.
00:28:20 Prepare to surface.
00:28:31 Mr. Milburn.
00:28:43 Skipper, Reef!
00:28:58 Those chunks of ice
00:29:03 Dive! Dive!
00:29:20 - Determine extent of damage.
00:29:29 This is Griff, Captain.
00:29:31 Moderate leak in overhead plates.
00:29:35 Forced to full stop.
00:29:38 - We're dead in the water.
00:29:49 [Reef]
00:29:54 Course and speed.
00:29:56 Speed, about 22 knots.
00:29:59 Course, due north.
00:30:02 Directly toward the Pole.
00:30:07 - Are you two flounders about set?
00:30:11 Now, try and remember,
00:30:15 - We need a damage report.
00:30:19 If I had enough sense, I would have -
00:30:21 Hey, uh, look out for the sharks, huh?
00:30:40 A pure oval shape...
00:30:42 with this cyclops-like eye,
00:30:47 I'd estimate its diameter at,
00:30:52 No discernible orifices.
00:30:58 The eye of Cyclops.
00:31:02 What did you say, Sir Ian?
00:31:04 Just musing about
00:31:07 and the Homer legend.
00:31:10 The Cyclopes were
00:31:12 who forged the thunderbolts
00:31:15 Our own cyclops throws
00:31:26 I knew there was something familiar.
00:31:28 Take a look.
00:31:30 This picture was taken by
00:31:35 I've had it since I served
00:31:39 for U.F.O. Reports.
00:31:41 ''Unidentified flying objects.''
00:31:43 Then this is a flying saucer.
00:31:47 That was the popular designation, yes.
00:31:52 Weren't all the sightings in the sky,
00:31:56 This would explain why there were
00:32:00 It's quite possible that whoever or...
00:32:04 whatever inhabits this craft...
00:32:06 is not a land creature at all...
00:32:08 but some form of marine life.
00:32:11 That would make our little green men
00:32:15 Undersea flying saucers.
00:32:21 - Excuse me, skipper.
00:32:23 All internal repairs completed,
00:32:27 - Good.
00:32:29 - Right, sir.
00:32:33 Then that's our course.
00:32:35 Where he goes,
00:32:38 Or perhaps until he gets us.
00:32:44 [Narrator] So the Tiger Shark began
00:32:48 Up to the Role,
00:32:52 A week, a fortnight, a month.
00:33:13 [Narrator] Never a glimpse of their enemy,
00:33:17 New disasters,
00:33:34 Invariably, the Tiger Shark
00:33:37 only to arrive after Cyclops had left.
00:33:40 For all its desperation,
00:33:47 And then on July 3,
00:33:50 held an urgent discussion
00:33:56 Why does Cyclops invariably
00:34:00 Never two in succession.
00:34:02 Always away and back,
00:34:05 We've asked ourselves that
00:34:09 But answers are what we need,
00:34:12 We think now we have them.
00:34:15 We took for granted
00:34:19 But suppose it isn't at all.
00:34:22 What if it is magnetic?
00:34:25 Yes. Yes.
00:34:28 We harness energy on a small scale
00:34:34 Supposing Cyclops does it
00:34:37 The North Pole is the positive end
00:34:43 What you're getting at
00:34:45 must return to the Pole regularly
00:34:49 That may be oversimplifying it.
00:34:52 Now, uh,
00:34:57 But suppose we place ourselves
00:35:02 In such a way as to prevent him
00:35:06 as you put it,
00:35:08 If we are lucky enough to catch him
00:35:11 Then we polish him off
00:35:14 We wait till the next report of trouble,
00:35:17 right in his path,
00:35:21 - ''Bushwhack''?
00:35:25 Oh.
00:35:29 [Narrator]
00:35:31 Now the Tiger Shark cruised
00:35:35 waiting for the radio report
00:35:39 On July 1 3,
00:35:45 - We got it, Reef.
00:35:47 Sounds like a distress signal from a small freighter
00:35:51 - One Mayday, then nothing.
00:35:53 Already in the conn.
00:36:05 - [Dave] We're here.
00:36:08 This is where Cyclops
00:36:11 This is the way he has to
00:36:13 Here we are, right in his path.
00:36:17 Sonar and TV-scan the bottom. Find
00:36:21 maybe a cave or a valley.
00:36:23 Rig for silent running.
00:36:25 As soon as we're on the bottom,
00:36:28 - I want absolute silence.
00:36:32 Rig for silent running.
00:37:10 [Narrator] Hour upon hour,
00:37:15 The Arctic depths were as still and silent
00:37:20 And then at 0600 hours -
00:37:23 [Clicking]
00:37:55 Skipper, Dr. Kent.
00:38:01 - What is it?
00:38:03 It has to be.
00:38:08 Range: 22 miles.
00:38:11 Speed: I give it 1 4 knots.
00:38:13 His radiation level is very low.
00:38:16 That would confirm our theory
00:38:20 It better be correct.
00:38:23 Get me a setup on the T.D.C.
00:38:31 Reef, arm atomic warheads. Load Tubes 1
00:38:36 - Sounds like we mean business.
00:38:38 Griff, you arm number two.
00:38:45 [Machinery Whirring, Beeping]
00:38:50 Load one and two.
00:38:54 Stand by for action.
00:39:29 Range: now 1 5 miles.
00:39:31 - You sure it's Cyclops?
00:39:46 Range: 1 4.5 miles.
00:39:49 Griff to skipper.
00:39:52 Outer doors open.
00:39:59 Stand by.
00:40:01 [Beeping]
00:40:05 Range: eight miles.
00:40:13 Range: 7 3/ 4 miles.
00:40:27 Zero minus 1 0...
00:40:32 nine, eight...
00:40:36 seven, six, five...
00:40:42 four, three, two...
00:40:48 one, target zero.
00:40:53 Fire 1 .
00:41:00 - Number one, fired.
00:41:08 Number two, fired.
00:41:24 - How are they running?
00:41:29 Number one missed.
00:41:32 How could it? We're dead on the target
00:41:43 - What's that?
00:41:47 It must function like
00:41:50 We'll never get a torpedo through that.
00:41:52 Maybe not a torpedo.
00:41:57 Blow all main ballast tanks.
00:42:00 As soon as we're off the bottom,
00:42:05 -[Dave] What course, skipper?
00:42:17 - Right at him?
00:42:20 - But what can we accomplish?
00:42:22 You've weighed the consequences,
00:42:25 Doctor, I've weighed the destruction
00:42:29 and what he'll do in the future
00:42:32 - There must be some other means.
00:42:35 If the Tiger Shark can't stop him,
00:42:47 Now brace yourselves.
00:42:50 Sound the collision alarm.
00:42:52 [Siren Blaring]
00:43:21 [Rumbling]
00:43:26 We got him, skipper.
00:43:34 Look at that. Speared him like a fish.
00:43:41 We did it, boys.
00:43:46 Reactor room,
00:44:10 We're stuck tight.
00:44:14 Skipper, take a look
00:44:19 1 80 fathoms?
00:44:22 It's our screws, skipper. At our
00:44:26 they're pulling the shark
00:44:31 And we're at safe
00:44:34 - Full stop.
00:44:53 [Thuds]
00:45:01 [Narrator] Hours later, the two
00:45:05 in an apparent death grip...
00:45:08 on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean...
00:45:10 nearly 1 200 feet below the surface.
00:45:24 Well, anybody got any ideas?
00:45:26 Anything's better than lying here.
00:45:30 Suppose there's some kind
00:45:33 What do you mean?
00:45:36 Well, maybe we could get inside
00:45:39 - to cut the Shark loose.
00:45:43 How would one go about
00:45:46 Through the eye
00:45:49 Yes. The explorer was built
00:45:54 Yeah, but suppose there isn't
00:45:59 Well, then the idea's no good.
00:46:02 -[Dave] You've gotta let us try, skipper.
00:46:05 Reef and I could take the explorer down,
00:46:08 [Neilsen]
00:46:10 I can deliver you to the eye.
00:46:13 A little out of your line, isn't it?
00:46:17 Maybe you could get them
00:46:20 Listen, Holloway. However our ideas disagree,
00:46:24 And it happens you have no choice.
00:46:27 - or you don't get there.
00:46:29 - That's enough, both of you.
00:46:33 No use making the odds
00:46:35 It so happens that Dr. Neilsen's right.
00:46:38 Get the explorer in the air lock
00:46:43 - Better take Carney and Powell with you.
00:46:46 That's right. Their underwater experience
00:46:50 - You'll need sidearms.
00:46:54 - You hope.
00:47:11 Girls, you go everywhere I go.
00:47:15 All right, Carl.
00:47:17 - You wanna show me how?
00:47:57 [Griff On R.A.]
00:48:03 Go ahead, Griff.
00:50:01 - What now?
00:50:03 - Shall we take a chance?
00:50:07 You all stay here.
00:50:09 Not alone, you're not.
00:50:20 Better breathe your oxygen,
00:50:42 - Air, pure air, under pressure.
00:50:47 Well, we won't need these tanks.
00:50:50 Good luck, men.
00:50:53 All right, let's go.
00:51:36 The bow drilled through her,
00:51:40 Yeah, there's our problem.
00:51:43 The sawteeth of the ram
00:51:45 Now, if we can cut it away,
00:51:49 - I think you're right.
00:51:53 Tell him to report to the skipper.
00:51:56 All right, let's get to work.
00:52:27 We read you, Doctor.
00:52:32 They're inside the Cyclops.
00:52:35 - Wonderful.
00:52:41 Reef thinks that he can clear the Shark's
00:52:44 What's it like inside the Cyclops?
00:52:50 Doctor, tell Reef to make sure that you're
00:52:57 Right. Over.
00:53:00 - We may get out of this yet.
00:53:03 - Could you take a look here?
00:53:06 The inertial navigation system
00:53:09 We're dead in the water,
00:53:12 - That's impossible.
00:53:16 What direction does the system indicate?
00:53:19 Due north at five knots.
00:53:21 No, six.
00:53:24 Toward the Pole.
00:53:26 But that Cyclops is dead.
00:53:30 Beats me.
00:53:44 - Dave.
00:53:49 Do you hear anything?
00:53:53 I don't hear anything.
00:53:57 You better go topside and rest.
00:54:00 Strange you don't hear it.
00:54:25 - Reef.
00:54:28 You know something?
00:54:32 Yeah. Yeah, it is.
00:54:35 If I didn't know better...
00:54:37 I'd swear we were moving.
00:54:40 Well, let's get back to work,
00:54:56 I'm getting an impression of movement,
00:55:00 We get the same reaction up here.
00:55:04 Now they're feeling it down below.
00:55:07 The radiation level, constantly rising.
00:55:10 As we near the Pole.
00:55:12 There's got to be an explanation.
00:55:14 I think there is.
00:55:17 I believe our friend Cyclops
00:55:27 [Male Voice]
00:55:33 - Dave.
00:55:40 Did you hear it?
00:55:42 That sound again?
00:55:48 This time it was a voice.
00:55:50 Look, why don't you go topside?
00:55:57 [Voice]
00:56:05 Where do you think
00:56:10 Down there somewhere.
00:56:24 [Low-pitched Hum]
00:56:32 [Hum Continues]
00:56:42 [High-pitched Hum]
00:56:46 [Loud Hum]
00:56:55 Carney! Carney, help me!
00:57:02 CarneyI Help me, CarneyI Help meI
00:57:10 [Hum Increases]
00:57:12 CarneyI Carney, helpI
00:57:37 [Hum Continues]
00:57:48 [Grunting]
00:57:51 - [Cracking]
00:57:53 [Retching]
00:58:07 [Voice]
00:58:09 And come here below.
00:58:18 - Come where?
00:58:21 That voice again?
00:58:24 It wants me to go alone.
00:58:26 Oh, it does, does it?
00:58:28 You better stay here.
00:58:58 So, Commander Holloway, as you
00:59:03 we meet, face-to-face.
00:59:08 That's a face?
00:59:11 Roint of view is everything.
00:59:13 To us, your form of life is ugly...
00:59:16 as we appear to you.
00:59:23 Tell me something.
00:59:25 Why is it that I can hear you
00:59:30 You do not hear me.
00:59:32 Our individual brain frequencies
00:59:35 and we exchange wave-thoughts.
00:59:40 You mean, extrasensory perception?
00:59:44 Whatever your Earth term may be...
00:59:48 the principle is ancient
00:59:53 It is not necessary for you to speak.
00:59:56 Your thought response will suffice.
01:00:02 My mission is to study various
01:00:06 Select the most suitable
01:00:13 [Thinking]
01:00:17 Of course. It may interest you to know
01:00:22 and of all of them,
01:00:32 [Thinking]
01:00:45 [Creature]
01:00:50 - [Thinking] He did.
01:00:54 - Dave.
01:01:00 Stand away from him, Commander.
01:01:05 He wants you back.
01:01:07 So this is your headquarters.
01:01:13 [High-pitched Hum]
01:01:17 [Low Hum]
01:01:23 [Screaming]
01:01:28 [Thinking] Why not me?
01:01:32 On the contrary.
01:01:37 [Thinking]
01:01:39 I have selected you to return with me...
01:01:42 along with several other
01:01:45 We will examine you and the others...
01:01:47 discover desirable features
01:01:54 [Thinking]
01:01:58 Of course.
01:02:07 On Earth, you build
01:02:10 We employ living tissue.
01:02:13 This space vehicle, for example.
01:02:18 It is a living thing.
01:02:20 When damaged-
01:02:23 it immediately heals itself.
01:02:28 [Thinking] Oh, that's why no water
01:02:32 Of course. But it is time
01:02:39 [Thinking] To navigate,
01:02:42 Obviously.
01:02:48 It'll be rough!
01:03:02 [Clicks]
01:03:04 [Clicks]
01:03:32 - Back to the Shark, right now.
01:03:34 Fortunes of war.
01:03:43 Skipper, this is Reef
01:03:45 - Rull looseI
01:03:50 Reactor room, get me all back.
01:05:07 - Well, what about the -
01:05:10 And if that thing ever gets back
01:05:13 - the Earth is doomed and everybody on it.
01:05:26 [Man On R.A.]
01:05:48 [Reef]
01:05:51 Headed straight for the Role, 50 knots.
01:05:54 Nothing we can do.
01:05:57 Excuse me, Captain.
01:06:01 What's that?
01:06:03 It's possible I could adapt one of the torpedo
01:06:09 so it would home on the saucer
01:06:14 What about the time?
01:06:16 The Cyclops will have to linger
01:06:21 Well, it's worth a chance.
01:06:23 Reef, take over as navigator and see
01:06:26 - Let's go.
01:06:33 [Narrator] Adapt a complicated guidance
01:06:38 Convert it to a water-to-air
01:06:42 It was foolish.
01:06:47 But it was their only hope...
01:06:50 and the Earth's only hope.
01:06:52 - Ready?
01:06:57 I'll report to the skipper.
01:07:45 Skipper...
01:07:48 we found our hole in the ice.
01:07:50 What's the corrected bearing
01:07:52 3 57 degrees.
01:07:59 Prepare the I.C.B.M. for firing.
01:08:13 Well, that's about all we can do
01:08:59 Skipper, I think it's -
01:09:11 [Rumbling]
01:09:15 [Buzzing]
01:09:34 Fire! Fire!
01:10:35 [Explosion Continues]
01:10:49 Attention, all hands.
01:10:52 We got him.
01:11:03 Cigarette?
01:11:07 Ah, they're so remote, the stars.
01:11:09 -[Reef] Hmm.
01:11:13 - Now I wonder.
01:11:16 Which is the one?
01:11:21 Well, we have enough ills
01:11:24 But maybe,just maybe...
01:11:27 when their ship doesn't return,
01:11:30 But if they do?
01:11:32 - Well.
01:11:36 Knowing we have boats
01:11:38 men like you, skipper...
01:11:40 Dave, Sir Ian, Kent,
01:11:44 And his egghead son. We'll give 'em
01:11:50 You know, I think I lost my little
