1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074



2
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,081
<i>This is the year 2020.</i>

3
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:19,647
<i>The place is the
Challenger Seamount,</i>

4
00:00:19,847 --> 00:00:21,710
<i>the top of an
underwater mountain.</i>

5
00:00:23,620 --> 00:00:25,260
<i>A complex beneath the sea.</i>

6
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:29,232
<i>250 men, women,
and children live here,</i>

7
00:00:29,644 --> 00:00:31,931
<i>each of them a
scientist pioneer.</i>

8
00:00:32,279 --> 00:00:34,753
<i>For this is our
last frontier,</i>

9
00:00:34,953 --> 00:00:38,060
<i>a hostile environment which
may hold the key to tomorrow.</i>

10
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:45,415
<i>Each day, these oceanauts
meet new challenges.</i>

11
00:00:45,615 --> 00:00:48,335
<i>As they build their city
beneath the sea.</i>

12
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:55,272
<i>This is SEALAB 2020.</i>

13
00:01:27,650 --> 00:01:30,031
I just can't figure what
that ship's doing out there.

14
00:01:30,231 --> 00:01:32,149
What's the problem, Sparks?

15
00:01:32,349 --> 00:01:36,012
A surface ship steamed up to the
east edge of Seamount an hour ago,

16
00:01:36,490 --> 00:01:39,419
and now it's sailing back and forth
like a tractor plowing a field.

17
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:43,417
<i>- Have you tried to contact the ship?</i>
- Half a dozen times, but no response.

18
00:01:43,817 --> 00:01:46,141
<i>And it's not on a voyage
plan, not the way it's moving.</i>

19
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,967
Keep trying, Sparks.

20
00:01:48,067 --> 00:01:52,199
This is Sealab calling CQ.
Come in. CQ, come in.

21
00:01:52,699 --> 00:01:54,640
Paul, take a look over there.

22
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,196
What's causing that?

23
00:01:56,396 --> 00:01:58,743
You're the oceanographer.
You tell me.

24
00:01:58,943 --> 00:02:00,985
<i>Something's chewing up
the bottom out there.</i>

25
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,632
<i>- That's what it looks like.
- Any of our divers working the current?</i>

26
00:02:04,832 --> 00:02:06,916
<i>Nothing that would cause that mess.</i>

27
00:02:07,116 --> 00:02:09,140
<i>- Better check it out, Paul.
- Right away, Captain.</i>

28
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,157
All right, crew, let's
go through the list.

29
00:02:13,357 --> 00:02:16,138
Tanks full, watches,
checkout.

30
00:02:16,338 --> 00:02:18,100
- All set, sir.
- Okay.

31
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:19,330
Here, too.

32
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:20,920
- Depth gauges.
- Ready.

33
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,962
- Compasses.
- Check.

34
00:02:23,162 --> 00:02:24,291
<i>Let's get wet.</i>

35
00:02:24,491 --> 00:02:25,640
After you, Dr. Williams.

36
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,859
We'll check communications
underwater.

37
00:02:28,059 --> 00:02:30,077
Grab your hand
scooters and scoot.

38
00:02:30,277 --> 00:02:31,791
<i>Let's go.</i>

39
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,668
Wow, those fish
are sure spooked.

40
00:02:54,868 --> 00:02:56,117
Look a them go.

41
00:02:56,317 --> 00:02:57,364
Slow down.

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,720
We're at the edge
of Seamountain.

43
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,842
That silt is still being stirred up.

44
00:03:02,042 --> 00:03:05,777
What's that wild sound?
Listen. Do you hear it?

45
00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:08,204
Yes, I do now.
Where's it cutting from?

46
00:03:08,404 --> 00:03:10,817
- Down on the bottom.
- An undersea dredge.

47
00:03:11,017 --> 00:03:13,265
<i>Someone's mining nodules
with that thing.</i>

48
00:03:13,465 --> 00:03:14,880
<i>And chewing up the bottom.</i>

49
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,863
It will kill every living thing in the
water if we don't stop it.

50
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,365
That mining machine has to be
shut down or we'll be out of business.

51
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,113
<i>It's sure causing one big mess.</i>

52
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,640
Let's move in closer.

53
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,640
Look out for those dirt nozzles.

54
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,720
<i>Dr. Williams, look up there.
A TV camera.</i>

55
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,785
<i>They must be guiding this
dredge from that surface ship.</i>

56
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,838
<i>They're drawing the
mineral rocks up to it.</i>

57
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,886
- You're on camera, Hal.
- I've got a message for them.

58
00:03:59,086 --> 00:04:01,300
I hope they read me.

59
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,818
<i>Hey, something's happening.
Everything's stopped.</i>

60
00:04:06,018 --> 00:04:07,600
Looks like they understood you.

61
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,129
Now what?

62
00:04:09,421 --> 00:04:11,513
Take a look. I think
we might have visitors.

63
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,600
<i>This is Dr. Paul Williams of Sealab.</i>

64
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,040
Please acknowledge,
no communication.

65
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,583
They don't have
compatible talk gear.

66
00:04:28,783 --> 00:04:30,640
They've got a message
on that slate.

67
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,939
It says, You are
in the way. Move!

68
00:04:35,139 --> 00:04:37,966
Just who do they think
they are, anyway?

69
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,570
Easy, Hal, easy.
I have an answer for them.

70
00:04:41,770 --> 00:04:44,401
I have a few words if
you run out, Dr. Williams.

71
00:04:44,601 --> 00:04:47,380
<i>No mining allowed.
Buzz off!</i>

72
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:49,857
Maybe those
apes can't read.

73
00:04:51,117 --> 00:04:52,946
Well, they don't look happy.

74
00:04:53,146 --> 00:04:56,032
What'll we do? Out-glare
them for the moment.

75
00:04:56,232 --> 00:04:57,829
Hang in there, they're leaving.

76
00:04:58,029 --> 00:04:59,680
Yes, but not very far.

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,277
<i>They're putting your message
on TV to get an answer.</i>

78
00:05:03,505 --> 00:05:05,035
<i>I think it's negative.</i>

79
00:05:05,235 --> 00:05:06,271
<i>And that's bad news.</i>

80
00:05:06,471 --> 00:05:09,375
<i>And it travels fast.
They've started again.</i>

81
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,053
Back off quick, or we'll be
dragged into that thing.

82
00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:26,585
I'll close its TVI.

83
00:05:26,785 --> 00:05:30,031
No, Ed, there are other
ways to stop that thing.

84
00:05:30,231 --> 00:05:32,738
First, we'll return to Sealab.
Get your scooters.

85
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,297
- Any luck yet, Sparks?
- They're answering this time.

86
00:05:50,497 --> 00:05:52,145
Here comes the picture, Dr. Williams.

87
00:05:52,345 --> 00:05:55,910
This is Sealab to Dredge.
Dr. Williams would like to talk to you.

88
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:59,033
- Dr. Williams?
- Yep. And you?

89
00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:00,188
Samuel H. Carlson.

90
00:06:00,388 --> 00:06:03,415
And that's my dredge your people
have been interfering with.

91
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,030
Now, what is it you want?

92
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:08,178
Your dredge, Mr. Carlson,
is causing havoc down here.

93
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Don't you know this is
a marine preserve?

94
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,673
- By what authority?
- International Ocean Agency.

95
00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:15,179
The IOA.

96
00:06:15,379 --> 00:06:19,106
Bah, lot of scientists have signed a
piece of paper doesn't mean a thing.

97
00:06:19,610 --> 00:06:23,037
- Now you listen.
- No. You watch for a moment.

98
00:06:23,237 --> 00:06:26,203
I want you to see what I've
spent half my life developing.

99
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,880
All automated, Dr. Williams.

100
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,038
All designed to bring up
what the world wants.

101
00:06:35,238 --> 00:06:38,427
Minerals, manganese, cobalt,
nickel, copper.

102
00:06:38,627 --> 00:06:43,964
And worth, Dr. Williams, a conservative
$10 million if I can get them back to land.

103
00:06:44,164 --> 00:06:46,373
which is exactly what
I've contracted to do.

104
00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:48,671
He really means business.

105
00:06:48,871 --> 00:06:51,040
I should have chucked this nodule.

106
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,227
The oceans, Mr. Carlson, have
many module deposits.

107
00:06:54,754 --> 00:06:57,074
You could mine where
you won't do so much harm.

108
00:06:57,407 --> 00:07:00,292
But very few places where
the pickings are so ripe.

109
00:07:00,492 --> 00:07:03,104
Just tell your people to
stay clear of my dredge,

110
00:07:03,304 --> 00:07:04,926
and we'll all get along just fine.

111
00:07:05,126 --> 00:07:06,924
That's my final word.

112
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:12,071
Top priority, Sparks.
Immediate priority message to the IOA.

113
00:07:12,271 --> 00:07:13,274
<i>Ready, sir.</i>

114
00:07:13,474 --> 00:07:16,795
<i>Need immediate help to stop mining
exploitation of Sealab Preserve.</i>

115
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,373
Silt. The water's full of it.

116
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,771
If this lab could sail
like a destroyer,

117
00:07:22,971 --> 00:07:25,209
I'd have more than words
with Mr. Carlson.

118
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:26,529
I'm with you, Captain.

119
00:07:26,907 --> 00:07:29,664
But we have laws and rules
for this sort of thing, don't we?

120
00:07:29,969 --> 00:07:32,423
Which some people don't
follow, young lady.

121
00:07:32,623 --> 00:07:34,974
Reply coming in from IOA,
Dr. Williams.

122
00:07:35,174 --> 00:07:41,470
<i>We'll send team,
but first need evidence.</i>

123
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,612
What Dredge is doing?
Tell them we'll comply, Sparks.

124
00:07:46,827 --> 00:07:49,054
Hal, Gail, Ed,

125
00:07:49,254 --> 00:07:50,457
I'm sending you out to make a

126
00:07:50,657 --> 00:07:53,040
videotape movie of
Carlson's mining operation.

127
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,708
We're almost there,
judging by the silt level.

128
00:07:57,908 --> 00:07:59,978
<i>Maybe the Dredge moved away.</i>

129
00:08:00,178 --> 00:08:02,360
No, look, it's still there.

130
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,105
It's still destroying the bottom
and messing up the water.

131
00:08:05,305 --> 00:08:07,846
It's worse than strip
mining back in the old days.

132
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,427
Ed, you and Gail lock
out with the cameras.

133
00:08:10,945 --> 00:08:13,899
I'll keep Deep Diver ready to go,
just in case.

134
00:08:13,999 --> 00:08:15,476
- Let's go, Ed.
<i>- All set.</i>

135
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,015
We've got to get closer.
The water's too murky.

136
00:08:25,215 --> 00:08:26,800
Watch out for those nozzles.

137
00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:45,110
It's those Sealab divers again.

138
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,070
<i>- And they're filming the dredge.
- Not for long.</i>

139
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:50,070
<i>- Reverse the pumps.
- Yes, sir.</i>

140
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,200
We're being blasted away.

141
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,326
Let's get out of here.

142
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,920
Remember what you
said about showing

143
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,622
- Carlson the damage he's doing?
- So?

144
00:09:20,822 --> 00:09:23,360
So let's get him down here.

145
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,793
- I don't see...
- You will.

146
00:09:24,993 --> 00:09:27,315
We're going to catch
ourselves a dredge.

147
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Just keep that tape rolling.

148
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,727
What's going on down there?

149
00:09:34,927 --> 00:09:36,378
Come on over to
where we buried

150
00:09:36,578 --> 00:09:38,170
that old fishing
net and find out.

151
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,720
- It's just over there.
- What's over there?

152
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,823
Just watch. The dredge
is moving toward it.

153
00:09:48,689 --> 00:09:50,921
<i>The net should
be under those rocks.</i>

154
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,084
<i>- I think it's being drawn in now.
- I see.</i>

155
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,800
Okay, let's film.

156
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,160
Ed, you're a very
clever oceanographer.

157
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,839
I think you've made a catch.

158
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,700
<i>Yeah, a rare undersea beast.</i>

159
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:15,600
We did it.

160
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,660
Get back. He's trying
to blow out the net.

161
00:10:20,860 --> 00:10:23,403
Gail, Ed, come in.

162
00:10:23,603 --> 00:10:26,461
- They've stalled out.
- Okay, Hal, but let's stand by.

163
00:10:26,661 --> 00:10:30,401
- Think that'll bring Carlson down?
<i>- We shall see.</i>

164
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,497
Completely jammed. Have the
divers ready to go in five minutes,

165
00:10:37,697 --> 00:10:40,176
and get my computer lung
with communication gear.

166
00:10:40,376 --> 00:10:41,623
Yes, sir.

167
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,827
Here they come.
Let's hope that Carlson's with them.

168
00:10:51,027 --> 00:10:52,087
<i>Let's go see.</i>

169
00:10:52,287 --> 00:10:54,056
<i>Back into that cold
water, you guys.</i>

170
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,352
Is that you, Carlson?

171
00:11:08,552 --> 00:11:10,914
Yes. Now leave us
and stop interfering.

172
00:11:11,114 --> 00:11:14,434
Good. You have talk gear,
and I'd like to talk to you.

173
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,000
Look at this.
Octopus eggs.

174
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,218
This was a sea urchin. It eats the algae
on the coral you've just wiped out.

175
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Who cares about a few urchins?

176
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:32,846
Besides urchins, that coral was a
home for countless marine creatures,

177
00:11:33,046 --> 00:11:35,965
and under the
sand, Worms. Clams.

178
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,120
Look, young man, get off my back.

179
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,998
I've got a contract to fulfill.
You and your clams and worms.

180
00:11:43,198 --> 00:11:45,398
You're in my way,
so move right now.

181
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,920
Deep diver back to Sea Lab.

182
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,269
<i>They've raised the
dredge off the bottom,</i>

183
00:11:53,469 --> 00:11:55,292
<i>Doctor Williams,
to try to untangle the net.</i>

184
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:57,717
<i>How long before they
free that dredge?</i>

185
00:11:57,917 --> 00:11:59,078
Shouldn't be long.

186
00:11:59,278 --> 00:12:01,149
Keep me informed.
Sealab off.

187
00:12:01,349 --> 00:12:03,320
Hal, something's wrong.

188
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,401
- The dredge, it's falling.
- What happened?

189
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,010
- Divers, help!
- Carlson's trapped underneath.

190
00:12:14,210 --> 00:12:15,397
We're going out to help.

191
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,320
All the king's horses
couldn't move this thing.

192
00:12:24,508 --> 00:12:28,049
- Can you breathe?
- Yeah! Just about.

193
00:12:28,249 --> 00:12:31,272
You two stay with Carlson.
I'm getting Deep Diver.

194
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,040
Now to get a good
grip on that monster.

195
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,471
Be careful, Hal!

196
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,232
That's got it.
Move it out.

197
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,425
- Are you all right?
- Not so good.

198
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,425
It's my ribs.

199
00:12:57,625 --> 00:13:00,062
We'd better take him back
to Seaab and the Doc.

200
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,059
You're lucky. The X-ray showed
only a fractured rib.

201
00:13:06,259 --> 00:13:07,664
I sure thank you.

202
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,280
But if those kids
hadn't interfered...

203
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,340
- And saved your life.
- For that, I'll thank.

204
00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:16,126
Now, if I can
have my diving gear,

205
00:13:16,326 --> 00:13:19,465
- I'll return to my ship.
- Not until you're decompressed.

206
00:13:19,665 --> 00:13:20,830
Listen, doc.

207
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,508
I'm going now.

208
00:13:22,708 --> 00:13:25,548
You'll get the bends if you
surface without decompression.

209
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,511
You'll need three
hours in our chamber.

210
00:13:28,205 --> 00:13:31,690
- Three hours? I never needed that.
- You're getting older.

211
00:13:31,890 --> 00:13:34,735
Come on, the sooner you start,
the sooner you're out.

212
00:13:34,935 --> 00:13:38,180
All right, Gail. Time to show
Carlson your home movies.

213
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,272
I'll get the tape set up.

214
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,554
This is a real captive
audience for our film.

215
00:13:44,754 --> 00:13:46,940
<i>One more hour to go
for decompression.</i>

216
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:48,360
<i>Projector on.</i>

217
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,094
<i>Carlson doesn't seem much
interested in our movie.</i>

218
00:13:51,294 --> 00:13:53,120
He's interested all right.

219
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,806
He's just trying to ignore it.

220
00:13:55,006 --> 00:13:57,803
I don't think ecology was
ever his interest anyway.

221
00:13:58,003 --> 00:14:00,705
He's not listening.
He's asleep.

222
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,395
<i>- Hey, nice shot, Gail.
- Thanks.</i>

223
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,378
It's time to bring
him up another 10 feet.

224
00:14:10,578 --> 00:14:12,030
<i>How about waking Carlson up?</i>

225
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,145
Come on, come on.
Turn off that fool picture.

226
00:14:21,345 --> 00:14:23,673
We'll turn it off,
if you listen.

227
00:14:23,873 --> 00:14:25,686
And I mean, really listen.

228
00:14:25,886 --> 00:14:28,118
- Any luck with him?
- We're trying.

229
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,946
OK, go ahead. I'm listening.

230
00:14:32,146 --> 00:14:36,182
Mr. Carlson. Today we know
that the sea is as fragile as land.

231
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:38,939
<i>It's important for
you to know that.</i>

232
00:14:39,139 --> 00:14:41,622
And if the seas die,
the land will be next.

233
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,885
That's just your theory.
Now you listen.

234
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Show me how I can
keep my dredge working

235
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,238
and still save your
precious ocean bottom.

236
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,320
Then maybe we can work
something out.

237
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,067
He's got a point, Hal.

238
00:14:54,267 --> 00:14:57,608
It's not the mining that hurts.
It's what he's doing.

239
00:14:57,808 --> 00:15:01,145
- But what can we do?
- Run your tape back a few minutes.

240
00:15:02,333 --> 00:15:03,611
Watch, Mr. Carlson.

241
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,532
<i>See how your dredge
moves along the bottom,</i>

242
00:15:06,732 --> 00:15:07,966
<i>just crashing along?</i>

243
00:15:08,459 --> 00:15:12,063
- So, so, what are you getting at?
- Now watch closely.

244
00:15:12,263 --> 00:15:14,771
<i>You may have automated
underwater mining,</i>

245
00:15:14,971 --> 00:15:19,075
<i>but you haven't perfected it.
The sea life is disturbed.</i>

246
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,600
<i>Don't you see?
You're over-automated.</i>

247
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,361
<i>You're not in control.</i>

248
00:15:25,561 --> 00:15:28,254
<i>Put men down below
to guide that dredge,</i>

249
00:15:28,454 --> 00:15:31,624
<i>to really work it carefully,
and you'll stop all that destruction.</i>

250
00:15:31,824 --> 00:15:34,590
Putting men down there,
it won't work.

251
00:15:34,790 --> 00:15:35,955
We're down here.

252
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,014
<i>My computers don't have to be fed,
and they don't get tired.</i>

253
00:15:40,214 --> 00:15:42,021
<i>They work continually if I want.</i>

254
00:15:42,221 --> 00:15:44,743
But they still don't have hands
and the brain of man.

255
00:15:44,943 --> 00:15:47,913
Give us 24 hours to
de-automate that dredge,

256
00:15:48,113 --> 00:15:51,485
and we'll show you how to mine
underwater without being destructive.

257
00:15:51,685 --> 00:15:54,036
You got it. 24 hours.

258
00:15:54,236 --> 00:15:56,105
Then I start dredging again.

259
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,054
Sealab to Operation Dreadge.
How's it moving?

260
00:16:03,254 --> 00:16:05,600
Right on schedule,
but time is so short.

261
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,460
<i>I should have asked for more time
for welders, electricians,</i>

262
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,461
<i>machine shop crew,</i>

263
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,147
<i>and pilot cabin
construction on the bridge.</i>

264
00:16:19,032 --> 00:16:22,176
- It's going to be close.
- Good luck. Bridge out.

265
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,983
- What's that supposed to be?
- It's the manual control.

266
00:16:32,183 --> 00:16:37,126
This motion turns the
dredge, and this one raises it.

267
00:16:38,816 --> 00:16:40,976
Like an aircraft control, hmm?

268
00:16:41,176 --> 00:16:44,561
- Right at your fingertips.
- You've got two hours.

269
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,208
This had better work.

270
00:16:46,408 --> 00:16:48,678
We'll test it right
now, Mr. Carlson.

271
00:16:48,878 --> 00:16:51,011
Dr. Williams, ready to test.

272
00:16:51,211 --> 00:16:53,711
You've got power, Ed.
Go easy at first.

273
00:16:55,170 --> 00:16:56,884
Control on.

274
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,915
How's that?

275
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,608
- So far, so good.
- Turn on the suction pumps.

276
00:17:07,729 --> 00:17:09,781
Pump's on. Stand by.

277
00:17:10,989 --> 00:17:12,028
It's working.

278
00:17:12,228 --> 00:17:15,299
- It's pulling in nodules.
- Without touching the ocean floor.

279
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,640
Now move it over
to that coral head.

280
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,047
<i>- Over the top, Ed. Lift it, Ed.
- Turn on the lift jets.</i>

281
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,160
Ed, Mr. Carlson, you all right?

282
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,673
Sure, fine. But the dredge,
what happened?

283
00:17:52,873 --> 00:17:55,440
We crashed.
That's what happened.

284
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,118
We'll find out why.

285
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,896
I noticed the jet nozzles that
control movement didn't work.

286
00:18:01,096 --> 00:18:03,172
<i>Let's check the
inspection panel.</i>

287
00:18:03,372 --> 00:18:04,568
Here's the problem.

288
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,548
It leaked and shorted out.

289
00:18:06,748 --> 00:18:09,546
Our design was OK,
but it's not waterproof yet.

290
00:18:10,020 --> 00:18:12,260
- I told you it wouldn't work.
- Now, Mr. Carlson,

291
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,967
it's my turn to say
"get off my back".

292
00:18:16,167 --> 00:18:20,197
One hour left, young man,
or you redo my equipment.

293
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,462
- What are we going to do?
- Rewire and waterproof.

294
00:18:24,662 --> 00:18:26,394
- Come on.
- In one hour?

295
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,987
You and Gail figure out a way to
waterproof that compartment.

296
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:34,770
If it leaks again, we're finished.

297
00:18:34,970 --> 00:18:35,821
But how?

298
00:18:36,021 --> 00:18:37,996
How do we keep
water out of Sealab?

299
00:18:38,196 --> 00:18:40,661
I get it.
Yes, great idea.

300
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,319
Like Dr. Williams said,
we waterproof like Sealab.

301
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,713
Which means we keep
the pressure inside

302
00:18:55,913 --> 00:18:57,538
greater than the
pressure of the sea.

303
00:18:57,660 --> 00:19:01,126
No leaks. Now drill another
hole at the bottom.

304
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:15,419
This valve only works one way.
It lets water out, but not in.

305
00:19:15,619 --> 00:19:17,817
Now, hand me that
tank of compressed air.

306
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,720
<i>Presto! It's dry inside.</i>

307
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:29,748
Ingenious!

308
00:19:29,948 --> 00:19:33,227
- Tell that to Dr. Williams.
- Think it's gonna work?

309
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,120
- It's got to.
- Time's almost up.

310
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,158
- Your hour is gone.
- We're ready.

311
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,401
<i>- We're in business.
- Look out, nodules, here we come.</i>

312
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,440
<i>See, it's not harming the seaweed?</i>

313
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,011
- Or fish, or...
- Now, try it over the coral.

314
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,814
- Beautiful. Didn't touch it.
- It's working!

315
00:20:14,014 --> 00:20:15,720
Didn't hurt a single thing.

316
00:20:23,330 --> 00:20:25,819
Tell the IOA team there's
no need to hurry.

317
00:20:26,019 --> 00:20:29,566
I think we'll have a pretty fair
demonstration to show them now.

318
00:20:29,970 --> 00:20:33,794
Do you think those young people of
yours had helped train some of my men?

319
00:20:34,530 --> 00:20:37,946
You'll have plenty of time to ask
them from our recompression chamber.

320
00:20:38,146 --> 00:20:41,264
It'll take a good five hours
before we can send you out.

321
00:20:41,650 --> 00:20:43,970
Oh, no! Not again!

322
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,640
But this time, no more home movies.

323
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,840
I promise you.

324
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:09,637
Subtitles: Kilo

325
00:21:10,305 --> 00:22:10,531
