Well, we've got another job to do.
Let's get the hell out of here.
What's the course, Bob? Um, 225, Sir.
Down periscope and E.C.M.
Course 225. All ahead, standard. Take her to 100 feet.
course 225. All ahead, standard. Just like that?
Take her to 100 feet, Sir.
Fogerty, will you get us out of this deep freeze?
When we're clear of Bering strait,
set a course for San Francisco. Aye, aye, Sir.
Julian?
Hmm?
You ever been to San Francisco?
Yes, I have.
A week on the way down.
Met a lovely girl.
Longest, loveliest legs I’ve ever seen.
Full of martinis, both of them.
The legs, I mean.
It got to you, didn't it?
You know...
I’ve, uh, been trying to...
get Mary to face up to it...
to make her understand what has to be done when the time comes.
But, uh...
she won't.
She just won't.
And I don't know what I’m gonna do.
I don't think you'll have to worry about Mary.
Oh, you don't know, Julian. You just don't know.
You didn't see her face when I told her...
she'd have to give Jennifer one of those pills if it happened before I got back.
You'd have thought I was a murderer or something.
All I was doing was what I felt I had to do.
How do you tell a woman you love that she has to kill herself and her baby?
How do you do it?
I envy you.
You envy me, do you?
You have someone to worry about.
I never envied anyone before.
Never really believed in it.
But you, yes, I do. I envy you.
You have a wife and a child,
nappies to change.
You have a lot to remember.
You're fortunate to have someone to worry about.
There are those who don't, you know?
I mean, have anyone to worry about.
Moira, for one.
Myself, for another.
We let it all go by the boards. It's too late now.
But you... you've had it all.
And I’ll thank you not to bother me with any more of your blubbering.
I don't know why I like you so much, Peter.
You can be such an intolerable ass.
Julian?
Now what the devil?
Thanks.
What are you standing there looking so silly for?
I don't know. I just don't know.
You're not losing your mind or something, are you?
No, I don't think so.
You know...
if I can get back in time, I don't think I’ll complain about a thing.
I think I could change Jennifer 24 hours a day and never complain.
Alcatraz island on port beam, Sir. Range: 800 yards.
Suggest we come right ten degrees, Sir.
right ten degrees. Right ten degrees, Sir.
New course: 160.
All stop. All stop.
Up both periscopes.
Captain, San Francisco is Yeoman Swain's hometown. He wants to take a look.
Okay, let him look.
Still doesn't make any sense. Down San Diego way, all right.
It's got to be hydroelectric. Where could it be?
Probably in one of the refineries along the coast.
They've got the transmitters and lots of juice.
See your house, rob?
No, Sir.
You couldn't see it from here anyway.
It's up in the hills.
Seen enough?
Yes, Sir. Thank you.
You know...
I keep expecting to see more damage.
There's no people.
I wonder where they are?
Dogs go somewhere to die.
They don't want anybody to look at them.
Maybe people do the same thing... go to bed.
Captain!
Swain's out through the escape trunk, Sir.
"Out"?
Secure the loading hatch. Drain the escape trunk.
Why didn't somebody stop him? Raise the boat!
Give me that.
Swain, this is the Captain.
Hear this. Don't be a damn fool, swain!
Come back right now, and we'll take you aboard.
But I mean right now!
Swain, do you hear me? Swain!
I got a date on market street, Captain.
I'm going home!
Mr. Osborne.
How long can he last out there?
Oh, three or four days, a week.
Depends on the individual.
We'd be safe to take him back up till when?
Up to not more than a few hours.
Certainly not after he's eaten or drunk something ashore.
Then you might as well take a time bomb aboard.
It'll be dark in about an hour.
We'll set on the bottom for the night.
Secure the diving stations.
Underway at 7:30.
Good morning, swain. Hi, Captain.
I thought you'd gone.
Catch anything? No, just started.
Always do though, out here.
How are you feeling?
Okay.
My stomach was upset last night, but I got some alka-seltzer from the drugstore.
I must have swallowed some salt water.
What's it like... in town?
Everybody's dead, I guess.
My folks are.
I didn't look much after I saw a few.
Hey, I got a case of good beer, if you want any.
No, thanks.
Captain, how long is it before I feel anything?
A few days, a week.
There's no rule.
Well, the weather's okay, if the wind would die down a little.
Captain, I didn't mean any disrespect or anything yesterday.
I want you to understand that, but...
I’d rather be home here to have it than in Australia.
You know what I mean?
I know what you mean.
Is there anything you want before we go?
I'm okay.
We won't be coming back.
I know.
You'll get... pretty sick.
Have you got anything to take?
I got 200 drugstores to choose from.
Good luck.
Okay. Take it easy.
Watch the suck of the props now.
No soap, Sir? Gibberish.
Can't make out a thing. I don't know what the hell it is.
Stay with it. Got to be somebody.
You know, one of us was the last man to see San Francisco;
the last man alive next to swain, that is, and we didn't see much.
Somebody ought to write a history of the war.
What are you bucking for, a whole chapter to yourself?
I doubt anyone could put it all together.
If they do, I’d like to read it.
I was in it for a while, and I didn't know anything about it.
I don't even know who started it. I wish somebody had stopped it.
The people on mars probably saw what happened.
When things cool off, they'll probably come down and take over.
How about that, professor? Any chance?
They might have the means of paying our corpse a visit,
but I shouldn't advise it for a long time.
Who do you think started it, the war?
Albert Einstein. You're kidding.
Do you really want to know who I think started the war? Yeah.
Why? You're an egghead, aren't you?
Who would ever have believed that human beings would be stupid enough...
to blow themselves off the face of the earth?
I don't believe it even now.
We didn't want a war. We didn't start it. How did it start?
The trouble with you is you want a simple answer,
and there isn't any.
The war started when people accepted the idiotic principle...
that peace could be maintained...
by arranging to defend themselves with weapons they couldn't possibly use...
without committing suicide.
Everybody had an atomic bomb and counter-bombs and counter-counter bombs.
The devices outgrew us. We couldn't control them.
I know.
I helped build them. God help me.
Somewhere some poor bloke...
probably looked at a radar screen and thought he saw something.
He knew that if he hesitated one thousandth of a second...
his own country would be wiped off the map, so...
so he pushed a button...
and... and...
the world went...
crazy...
and... and...
what's with him?
Maybe we shouldn't ask him any more questions.
What's new from San Diego, Sundstrom?
Still can't make it out, Sir. We'll be there soon enough.
Oh, uh... oh, Lungren.
Sir? Mr. Osborne is doing a good job for us.
He's not used to this kind of duty.
He's not feeling well, just a little claustrophobia.
Beg your pardon, Sir? Oh. Professor needs a drink.
He's a civilian. He's used to a shot or two before dinner.
See what you can find in the medical locker.
The closer you can come to scotch, the better. Yes, Sir.
Pull it tighter!
Now I want you back here in one hour.
Ditch the boat, the suit, the tank, everything.
And take a shower in the trunk for ten minutes.
And no souvenirs.
All I want to see come through that hatch is you.
As naked as a baby, understand?
We'll give you a blast every quarter hour.
When you hear the third quarter, get!
I don't care if you find a tribe of beautiful girls, eager!
Get! And I mean it.
Fan your tail for home.
He's away.
Check Jones.
Sundstrom's away. Still getting that signal?
Off and on. They never went to radio school, those spooks,
that's for sure.
Amazing equipment to last like that.
Wind. Window shade tugging on a coke bottle.
Say, what time is it in Melbourne?
1500, Sir.
I hope old Bridie's listening.
She's beautiful, isn't she? Mm-hmm, so full of life.
Here you are, baby. She always waits for the sugar.
She knows she won't get it if she doesn't.
Go on, get out. Get. I'll bet she would.
I'll bet if she sat down and refused to do anything,
she'd still get the sugar.
He should be coming home any day now.
I'm not sure. Have you missed him?
Terribly. Then why don't you tell him?
Dwight?
Oh, what a thing to do to me.
I'd given you up.
I thought the polar bears had you.
Don't you ever do that to me again, leave me without telling me.
I don't think I will.
You're thinner. You're not ill?
No, no, a little tired. I'm all right.
You're sure about that? I'm positive, miss Davidson.
I'm absolutely positive.
Why didn't you telephone, let me come and meet you at the station?
I thought I’d walk. I wanted the air.
Is your invitation to spread a little fertilizer still open?
Can you stay for a few days?
If you've got room for me.
I'd build a house if I didn't.
Peter... Peter, I... oh, darling, I’ll never leave you again.
You might as well run a railway train through here.
I beg your pardon? There's no need to frighten all the animals.
Sorry, sorry.
Julian.
Hello, hello.
The Admiral told me I’d find you here.
I thought you might want to have a look at this report of mine before I have it typed.
I'm sure it'll be all right. You don't have to be so noisy.
The cows won't give any milk for a week. He just said that.
So this is the Ferrari? What will she do?
I don't really know yet, but I’ll find out on Saturday.
You are coming to the race, aren't you? Well, I’d like to.
Will there be much of a crowd? Oh, I shouldn't think so.
It's a question of transport for most people.
Besides, nobody cares who wins.
I suppose you think you're going to?
I might. It's the fastest car, you know.
Commander, there's a telephone call for you.
Oh, all right. Uh, be right back.
Julian, this is ridiculous.
Why are you doing it? Because I want to.
I can't think of a better reason.
You think it's that funny?
Well, in view of things, don't you?
"From: United states naval forces, Brisbane.
"To: Commander D.L. Towers, U.S. N, U.S.S. Sawfish.
"1: On the retirement of the present Commander U.S. Naval forces at this date,
"you will immediately and henceforth assume the duty of...
Commander U.S. Naval forces in all areas."
I guess this makes you an Admiral, if you want to be one.
Congratulations.
Thank you, Sir.
May I dictate something to your secretary?
Yes, I could let you dictate something to her,
but I tried to get through to Brisbane myself half an hour ago.
There was no reply. They've closed up.
I see.
Well, thank you, Sir.
He's moving up.
I wish he'd be more careful. It's not that important.
It is to him.
He almost had it that time. I can't watch much more. Is Julian all right?
He's all right. He's back on the track.
Julian!
He doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.
He's never been in a race before. He won it, didn't he?
I had lunch with Admiral Bridie yesterday.
He told me that somebody brought pressure to bear...
and got the trout season moved up.
It opens tomorrow.
Why don't we have a crack at it,
go up to the mountains for a few days?
When? Now.
I know just the spot.
It's nice, quiet and peaceful.
Will you let loose of your line?
I'll build up the fire.
Captain.
You'd better have a look at Ackerman.
Ackerman? What's wrong with him?
The doctor says he's in a bad way.
You'd better have a look at him.
I'll go right down.
Do that again, baby, will ya?
Hello, Ackerman. Hello, Captain.
Well, how are you feeling?
Oh, I’m okay, except I’m a little weak.
Can't seem to keep anything in my stomach yet.
Guess I hoisted a few too many beers the other night.
You know, I don't know what the kangaroos are putting in the brew nowadays,
but I can sure tell you what it tastes like.
Well, you just take it easy. Yeah.
You'll be perfectly okay.
Dr. King here will look after you. I'll do fine.
Any chance that he's right? He just had a few too many?
No, he has the full range of symptoms.
It's radiation.
Well, why...
why this one case all of the sudden?
Why? Why not? It's here.
It had to hit somebody first. It hit this lad.
We're not machines. We're not going to fall over in rows, you know.
Anything you can do for him? No...
except make him as comfortable as possible.
This thing is coming sooner than we thought.
I'm a little off balance.
I'm terribly sorry if it's inconvenient,
but I’m afraid I can't be held responsible for that.
I never predicted the precise date.
No, I don't think we have a freak case here, Commander.
I've been getting very irritable myself, as you can see.
It's one of the first symptoms.
O lord, give us the strength.
Help us to understand the reason for this madness on earth,
the reason why we have destroyed ourselves.
Give us the courage to bear thy will,
and when the end is upon us,
give us thy hand and show us the way...
that we may better understand that only you can give...
and only you can take away.
Forgive those of us who are weak,
as we forgive each other.
For Jesus' sake. Amen.
Simpson, john.
Jones: Norman, molly, Kenneth and Kim.
Dickson, George and Lola.
You all know the situation.
I've given leave to many of you, to stay here for personal reasons.
It's understandable why some of you might prefer this.
I think that the rest of you are entitled to decide what you'd like to do.
I'd like you to think about it. Take a vote if you need to.
Give me your decision by this evening.
I think that's all.
Captain.
We've already taken a vote.
We'd like to head for home.
Just give it to me straight. How much longer?
We're 15 points in the red.
Up three and a half since last night.
I suppose you've heard about Mary.
No. What? Quite irrational.
Peter came in Sunday to find her packing for a trip back to England,
taking Jennifer.
I'm sorry to hear that.
She's a bit calmer now, doctor and all that.
Dwight? Yes?
What about Moira?
I want to stay with her right to the end,
but I had to leave it to the men.
We're going. Oh.
When do you leave?
In a day, two at the most.
You might not have that much time. Yes, I know.
I've got to see her right away.
So long, Julian.
God bless.
Hosgood?
Yes, Sir?
It looks as if we've had it, Hosgood.
Would you like shore leave or are you staying aboard?
I'm remaining aboard, Sir.
Would you have a glass of sherry with an old man?
No, Sir,
but I would very much like to have one with you...
Sir.
There's one thing that always bothered me, Hosgood.
A girl like you... why no young men?
They never asked me.
I guess maybe it was the uniform.
To a blind...
blind world.
I think I can get Mrs. Andrews to help me out with Jennifer.
Yes, but if you need anything, you'd better call me.
I'm sure she'll be all right, but I wish there was something I could do for Mary.
Mary. Mary.
Moira, it's for you.
Hello. Dwight.
Oh, yes, I’ll be there! Right away, Dwight!
I'll be there!
Moira!
Oh, you're not going.
You're staying. You're staying. No.
I'm going.
But the Sawfish... just across the bay...
at the fuel depot.
The men want to try to get home.
I can't explain it.
Then I suppose that... the time has come to say,
"it's been nice, Dwight Lionel.
It's been everything."
Oh, Dwight, I’m so frightened.
I know.
I'm so sorry for so many things.
I love you, Moira.
I love you.
Mary.
I love you.
Did you say something, Peter?
I didn't hear.
I said, "I love you."
I-I feel so strange.
You remember the first time we ever met?
It was on the beach.
I thought you were everything I’d ever dreamed about,
everything I ever wanted.
I thought you were so underfed.
Every day after that, I went to the beach,
but you were never there.
I had the flu. My mother made me stay at home.
I looked for you.
I looked for you so.
Did you suffer horribly?
Oh, Mary, you'll never know.
Did you really?
I thought I couldn't bear it if I didn't see you again.
I'd about given up hope,
but one day...
there you were.
Now it's all over, isn't it?
Mm-hmm, it's all over.
And I want you to know...
that I could never have been happy with anyone in the world but you.
I've loved you, Peter.
I've been foolish,
and I haven't been practical,
but I’ve loved you so much.
So much.
We've been happy and fortunate.
And Jennifer...
she'll never have the chance.
She'll never know what love is.
Peter, Peter, you'll see that she's... I will, I will.
Darling...
God!
God forgive us.
Peter...
I think I’ll have that cup of tea now.
