00:02:00But, lo, a stir is in the air.
00:02:04The wave, there is a movement there, as if their tops had given death.
00:02:09It is undivided time.
00:02:12It's a body, Mr. Harrison, strangely dressed.
00:02:22I can see that.
00:02:23Who is it?
00:02:23It is Mr. Penrose.
00:02:29The lawyer who's been advising Mr. Gellis.
00:02:32Poor devil.
00:02:33It's the devil's work, right enough.
00:02:35Be quiet, you old fool.
00:02:36I told you nothing good had come of this.
00:02:37An American girl at the manor house, solicitors, and this young man with his rock samples and questions about the old mine workings.
00:02:46The old bag of wind, he'll hear you.
00:02:47He has.
00:02:50Now what about the body?
00:02:53Somebody's got to tell Mr. Gellis.
00:02:57All right, I'll go.
00:02:58Mr. Harris?
00:03:22Couldn't be you've come to help us about the electricity.
00:03:25The lights be gone out with the storm.
00:03:27Not like the old days.
00:03:29A candle could be depended upon.
00:03:31I've come to see Mr. Gellis.
00:03:33You should be here about the lights.
00:03:35The guests are grumbling proper.
00:03:37Come.
00:03:38Come in.
00:03:39I'll take you to her.
00:04:05You wait here.
00:04:06I'll fix Mr. Gellis.
00:04:09I'll come along with you.
00:04:12Mr. Gellis is with one of the guests.
00:04:15An artist, he says he is.
00:04:18Something strange about him.
00:04:20Most that he paints don't look like much.
00:04:24He's brought the beasts with him.
00:04:27The beast?
00:04:28You'll see.
00:04:30It's in there with them.
00:04:34Who is it?
00:04:35It's Mumford Mum.
00:04:37Mr. Harris is here.
00:04:38He insists on seeing you.
00:04:41Just a minute.
00:04:42I'm not staying.
00:04:43Last time I waited, the beast got out.
00:04:46I'm opening the door, but come in quickly.
00:04:49How nice to see you.
00:04:52Her name is Herbert.
00:04:54Her name is Herbert.
00:04:56Uh, Jill, I came to talk to you about Mr. Penrose.
00:05:00Oh, Ben, I'm so disappointed.
00:05:03I thought maybe this was a social call.
00:05:05I mean, we're the only two Americans in the whole village.
00:05:08Don't you think we should be friends?
00:05:10Harold?
00:05:11Yes?
00:05:11Uh, Mr. Harris captured Herbert for us.
00:05:14Harold?
00:05:15Yes, he's one of our guests.
00:05:17He's an artist.
00:05:17Would you like to meet him?
00:05:19Oh, yes, I would.
00:05:20Yes, very much.
00:05:20Well, come on in, then, and close the door.
00:05:23Harold?
00:05:24Yes, Jill?
00:05:24This is Mr. Ben Harris.
00:05:26How do you do?
00:05:28Oh, how do you do?
00:05:29And this is Mr. Harold Tufnel Jones.
00:05:33You're, uh, wondering what I'm doing up here, aren't you?
00:05:36I'm not up here all the time.
00:05:37It's just that, uh, Herbert's been giving us a bit of a chase.
00:05:40Would you mind helping me down?
00:05:41Would you mind if I talked with Mr. Gillis about her lawyer?
00:05:45Well, I'm sure that can wait till I'm down on Telefarmer.
00:05:47Would you give me a hand?
00:05:48Yeah, well, of course.
00:05:50Jill, uh, about Mr. Penwell.
00:05:57I'll take you in to see him in a minute.
00:05:59He's been in his study all day.
00:06:01How do you do?
00:06:02Thank you very much.
00:06:02It's quite all right.
00:06:03Please, uh, uh, will you come with me?
00:06:05There's something I'd like to show you.
00:06:10Self-ported.
00:06:12Do you like it?
00:06:14It's, uh, it's a good likeness.
00:06:16If anybody would want such a thing.
00:06:17I'm sure someone will, then.
00:06:19If anyone would want such a thing.
00:06:21I signed it.
00:06:22Myself, look.
00:06:23Harold Tufnel Jones, FRA.
00:06:26Oh, a fellow at the Royal Academy.
00:06:29Not actually.
00:06:30Founder of the Roosters Association.
00:06:32Better select.
00:06:33Ah.
00:06:34Uh, you say that Mr. Penrose is in his study?
00:06:37Yes, just across the hall.
00:06:38Jill, I've just come up from the beach, and...
00:06:52Somebody's in there.
00:06:57What is it?
00:06:58Go back to the other room and wait for me.
00:06:59Go on.
00:07:00Go on, please.
00:07:02Go on, please.
00:07:32Ben!
00:07:32Ben, are you all right?
00:07:50Did anyone go through that door?
00:07:51No.
00:07:52Are you sure?
00:07:54I'm positive.
00:07:56Well, should anyone have?
00:07:57I don't know.
00:08:11Where's Mr. Penrose?
00:08:17I, um...
00:08:20I found his body on the beach.
00:08:24He's dead.
00:08:27We shouldn't leave the body there.
00:08:31What are you afraid of?
00:08:33I don't know one man who can call me coward and look me in the face.
00:08:37There are things no man should have to see or hear.
00:08:40What things?
00:08:41Ah, he's been hearing them ghost bells again.
00:08:44Yes, I heard them last night, and they were red in the sea like blood colour.
00:08:49Well, I never heard them, and I was born here.
00:08:52Come on, Zong.
00:08:53Do you really hear those ghost bells?
00:08:55Yes, I heard them. Deep down in the sea they were.
00:08:58Bells from a shipwreck, is it?
00:08:59It's Leoness, the lost city in the sea.
00:09:02I always thought that was an old wives tale.
00:09:04Ah, there's a city there right enough.
00:09:06Thousands of years back the sea just came and swallowed it up, and there it lies now.
00:09:10Buried in the deep.
00:09:11Why does the bell sound?
00:09:13Well, we found Mr. Penrose, didn't we?
00:09:15There have been other bodies too.
00:09:17When the bell sounds, it means death.
00:09:20There we are. That's better.
00:09:30Now, there's just this one. Where are the nails?
00:09:34There's a book missing from the set here.
00:09:36Oh, I shouldn't worry about that. Things are always disappearing in Trigathia.
00:09:39Oh, really?
00:09:40Yeah. Do you know the old rector? Vanished about 50 years ago. Never been seen since.
00:09:45You know something, Harold? You are a mine of fascinating information.
00:09:49Now, it's funny you say that.
00:09:51Because it is said that he was lost in an old tin mine.
00:09:54Funny you mention mines.
00:09:55But, um, what's that got to do with the missing book?
00:09:59Oh, that the books aren't important.
00:10:00But, you see, I did a sketch of Jill and put it between the pages.
00:10:03Oh, really?
00:10:04Where are those nails?
00:10:06Well, why would anyone want to steal your sketch of Jill?
00:10:09Well, Ben, modesty prevents me from saying that perhaps he was a man of great taste
00:10:13who fancied a work about.
00:10:15Well, here they are.
00:10:16I wonder.
00:10:17Hold that, will you?
00:10:18You know, all these things happening. Penrose's death.
00:10:21Hmm?
00:10:22And the sketch in the book, disappearing.
00:10:23There it is.
00:10:24What about them?
00:10:25Well, they're all connected.
00:10:26I mean, they have one thing in common.
00:10:28Jill.
00:10:29You're a great one for mysteries, aren't you?
00:10:31You're just trying to frighten us.
00:10:32Isn't he, Herbert?
00:10:34What do you think happened in here?
00:10:36I told you, I saw this thing.
00:10:38I don't know what it was.
00:10:40It wasn't a human.
00:10:41Now, Ben, you're sensible, you're intelligent, you're a man of the world, savoir faire.
00:10:46Now, let's admit that anyone in the semi-darkness could mistake an intruder for something more mysterious.
00:10:52Now, that's possible, isn't it?
00:10:54Now, listen, I'm a mining engineer, a trained observer.
00:10:57I look for the little things that the ordinary eye might pass over, because the slightest clue could mean a fortune to those who employ me.
00:11:04Now, if I say I saw something or someone that could be superhuman, I mean it.
00:11:12I'm going to put on a proper pair of trousers, with legs on.
00:11:18Herbert!
00:11:20Herbert!
00:11:21Thank you for your kindness, Ben.
00:11:26What do you want to do now, stay here in England or go back to America?
00:11:31I don't know.
00:11:32This state isn't settled yet.
00:11:34Well, Mr. Penrose was working on it when...
00:11:37Try not to think about it.
00:11:39I just can't help it.
00:11:40Jill, listen to me.
00:11:41Now, I tell you, you are in danger.
00:11:44Now, all I want you to do is move someplace where there are more people.
00:11:48Well, I'm not running away.
00:11:50Oh, you're stubborn.
00:11:58Now what are you doing?
00:11:59I'm just checking.
00:12:00You better believe in that way, do you hear?
00:12:07Seaweed.
00:12:08There you go again.
00:12:10All right, all right.
00:12:11I'm imagining things.
00:12:13That's what everybody says, so I'd better believe it.
00:12:16Maybe you should.
00:12:20I found Herbert.
00:12:24Well, I'm going up to bed now.
00:12:26Good night, Jill.
00:12:27Good night, Ben, and you get some rest now.
00:12:30Good night.
00:12:31Good night.
00:12:33Charming girl.
00:12:35Absolutely charming.
00:12:37An inspiration to any artist, I'd say.
00:12:40I wonder if anyone would mind if I put my fee up on the sofa for the night.
00:12:44Charming.
00:12:45Whatever for?
00:12:46To keep an eye on things.
00:12:48Very wise.
00:12:49You'll pardon me if I turn in.
00:12:50I want to get plenty of sleep.
00:12:52I'm going to paint an entirely new canvas first thing in the morning.
00:12:55A sunset.
00:12:56A sunset in the morning?
00:12:58I'm a slow worker.
00:12:59Good night, O'Fella.
00:13:00Good night, Wilbur.
00:13:01Good night.
00:13:06Good night, O'Fella.
00:13:07Good night.
00:13:09Good night, O'Fella.
00:13:10gifted man.
00:13:11Good night, O'Fella.
00:13:13You must name yourêt e colored hoes.
00:13:15Good night.
00:13:16Good night.
00:13:17Good night, Though.
00:13:18Good night.
00:13:19Good night, O'Fella.
00:13:21Let's go.
00:14:51Oh, it's you.
00:15:02I do wish you'd stopped playing the giddy goat.
00:15:05You could have hurt me.
00:15:06I might never have painted again.
00:15:08I suppose you've some reason for skulking around behind doors.
00:15:12I'd just caught up with Herbert. He'd escaped again.
00:15:14I had a feeling this sort of thing would happen.
00:15:16Now, whatever it was that was in here before, came back and took Jill.
00:15:19Oh, but how?
00:15:20These old houses are full of sliding passages and secret thingamajigs.
00:15:24Leave this to me.
00:15:25You know what's wanted here?
00:15:27Brain power.
00:15:28Now, if there's a hidden door, there must be a concealed button somewhere.
00:15:31My instinct tells me to press, uh, here.
00:15:39Or there.
00:15:53Ben.
00:15:54You're going in there after her?
00:16:04You are.
00:16:06You're not expecting me to go in there, too, are you?
00:16:08You're not expecting me to go in there.
00:16:38Let's try this way.
00:16:56Come on.
00:17:08Go in here.
00:17:11Go in here.
00:17:32Ben.
00:17:32Ben.
00:17:35Ben.
00:17:58No!
00:17:59No!
00:18:00No!
00:18:00No!
00:18:01Oh, my God.
00:18:31There's a lot to be said for ducks. Water rolls off their backs. They can swim and help a person. Not like some chickens, I know.
00:18:50What on earth is this place?
00:18:53I don't know. It looks like some sort of a water gate.
00:18:58Oh, my God. Why don't you leave that chicken behind? She'll only get him away.
00:19:03He doesn't know who's man's best friend, does he, Herbert?
00:19:06It must lead somewhere.
00:19:23Yes, and I've got a nasty feeling. You want to find out where.
00:19:35Don't worry, Herbert. Everything's fine.
00:19:38Look, Benny, there's got to be an earthquake. Let's get off the bridge.
00:19:40I'm not coming here to my summer holocaust. Let's find out what's up ahead.
00:19:53Look, Benny, just sit here and wait for something pleasant to happen.
00:19:57Watch out!
00:19:58You almost lost your bird.
00:20:08Thank you. It habit, thanks you. Don't you habit?
00:20:11Might even lay you an egg.
00:20:13Where's it coming from?
00:20:35What is it?
00:20:36What is it?
00:20:38What is it?
00:20:40Well, what about this?
00:20:53What?
00:20:54Down there?
00:20:55It's the only way.
00:21:07Be careful.
00:21:09I can do it.
00:21:09Nice.
00:21:10Come on, come on.
00:21:40Come on.
00:22:10Come on.
00:22:40What on earth have we got ourselves into?
00:22:47Let's see if we can help them.
00:22:48Let's get that chain off him.
00:23:04Get out.
00:23:13Quickly, that way.
00:23:15In a few seconds, this place will be full of water.
00:23:18Go on.
00:23:18What kind of people would do things like this?
00:23:28Let's find Jill.
00:23:42Let's go.
00:23:46Go on.
00:23:51Oh, my God.
00:24:21Seismology by J.S. Tilton.
00:24:33Well, that's odd.
00:24:35This hasn't been through the sea. None of it has.
00:24:39And how did they get the oil for the lamps?
00:24:43Here's my sketch of Jill.
00:24:46How did this get here?
00:24:51Very odd.
00:25:03Where is she? Where is she?
00:25:21You fight very well, young man.
00:25:25Did you kill him?
00:25:27It doesn't really matter.
00:25:31He dislikes me.
00:25:33He likes to step into my shoes.
00:25:35Not that he ever will.
00:25:36You fight very well, young man.
00:25:44Did you kill him?
00:25:46It doesn't really matter.
00:25:48He dislikes me.
00:25:50He'd like to step into my shoes.
00:25:52Not that he ever will.
00:25:54Get up!
00:25:56Oh, don't worry. He won't touch you, Dan.
00:25:59He might even teach you how to fight.
00:26:02If you asked him very humbly.
00:26:06Get up!
00:26:11Well, now we've got that little matter settled.
00:26:14Who do we have the...
00:26:16May I...
00:26:18Who are you, sir?
00:26:23You be the captain.
00:26:25It seems you tried to come down the passages at the wrong time.
00:26:29As it happens we have a...
00:26:32Local phenomenon here.
00:26:34That creates something of a maelstrom under certain conditions of tide and circumstance.
00:26:38I see.
00:26:39Well, perhaps you'll be kind enough to show us the way out.
00:26:42There is no way out.
00:26:44Not for you.
00:26:46And not for him.
00:26:47Nor for the girl.
00:26:49Is she alive?
00:26:50You will answer the questions, not ask them.
00:26:52No way out?
00:26:54Well, you're not planning to keep us here for good?
00:26:57You're right. We're not.
00:27:00Why can't we go?
00:27:01Because there is an outside chance that you might be of help.
00:27:04Well, I'd like to help you.
00:27:06I mean, I'd like you to be of any assistance at any time.
00:27:08I mean, I'm only too pleased.
00:27:10And if we can't help you?
00:27:12Survival down here depends on usefulness.
00:27:15Well, in that case, how could we help you?
00:27:22Follow me.
00:27:27Let's go.
00:27:36Beautiful, isn't it?
00:27:38What...
00:27:39What is it?
00:27:40The city in the sea.
00:27:42Lioness?
00:27:44Perhaps.
00:27:45One name is as good as another.
00:27:48I asked, in what way could we help you?
00:27:52There it is.
00:27:54The volcano.
00:27:55Peak is vitrified sand, which is why it's transparent.
00:27:59But the pressure of molten lava sealed inside of it has been building up steadily, steadily.
00:28:05It was the pull of that monster, the elemental power that is in it that brought you to our doorstep.
00:28:09I remember when it was practically dormant, but over the years that glow has increased.
00:28:26The shocks, too.
00:28:27Always stronger.
00:28:28Yes, the end is coming.
00:28:29Another year, another month, another week.
00:28:31Another week?
00:28:32Yes, perhaps.
00:28:33Perhaps even sooner.
00:28:34Yes, you are looking at the final executioner.
00:28:38Time is running out.
00:28:39The only question now is when.
00:28:46It is coming. Another year, another month, another week.
00:28:50Another week? Yes, perhaps.
00:28:52Perhaps even sooner.
00:28:54Yes, you are looking at the final executioner.
00:28:58Time is running out.
00:29:01The only question now is when.
00:29:08Do you hear those pumps?
00:29:16They were installed by the people who built that city.
00:29:21A great people.
00:29:23So great that when the sea took their land,
00:29:26they built those pumps to pipe the heat from the volcano
00:29:31and to provide fresh air and water.
00:29:34And they lived down there, those people, for a while under the sea.
00:29:39In their palaces and towers.
00:29:43And then they died.
00:29:47Almost completely.
00:29:49Except for the...
00:29:52The...
00:29:54The gill men, the half men.
00:29:57Pathetic remnants of a great nation.
00:30:01But they're my people all the same.
00:30:04Your people?
00:30:05Yes.
00:30:07Yes, this is my world.
00:30:09I am their king.
00:30:11No more than their king.
00:30:14They believe that I am death.
00:30:16Death looking gigantically down from my tower.
00:30:20And they're right, I am death.
00:30:22Because the means of death is in my hands.
00:30:24But I'm also life, for the same reason.
00:30:27Except for the volcano.
00:30:30Yes.
00:30:32Except for the volcano.
00:30:36Unless those tremors cease, the pumps will stop.
00:30:41They must.
00:30:42And when the pumps stop,
00:30:45my city will die.
00:30:48And so will my people.
00:30:53Oh, I've done my best.
00:30:55I've racked my brains to think of a way to fight back.
00:30:59Raids up above there seeking a solution.
00:31:03We took this many years ago.
00:31:05It's a seismometer, you know.
00:31:07It registers the tremors of the earth.
00:31:09But what has it shown?
00:31:10Only the increasing violence of the volcano growing stronger day by day.
00:31:15And then we've looked for books.
00:31:18Oh, yes.
00:31:19Like this one.
00:31:20I read it last night from cover to cover.
00:31:23But it's less than useless.
00:31:26But I must save my people.
00:31:29How can you?
00:31:31Oh.
00:31:32We've heard of the strides that science made in this century.
00:31:37What do you mean, science in this century?
00:31:40Look, how long have you been here?
00:31:42I will ask the questions.
00:31:45And I cannot accept defeat.
00:31:48No man has a right to.
00:31:51Look.
00:32:00Those are my people.
00:32:02It's a hunting party which my men are directing.
00:32:07These creatures, they help us to obtain food.
00:32:11Needless to say, our stipend down here is fish.
00:32:16Fish.
00:32:19Do you know how many years it has been since I have eaten beef?
00:32:24Or...
00:32:26Chicken.
00:32:28Chicken?
00:32:46What about Penrose?
00:32:47We found his body.
00:32:48Oh, I gave him a chance.
00:32:49I don't know why.
00:32:50Perhaps because I liked him.
00:32:51But he was of no use.
00:32:52So I sent him out.
00:32:53With one of those diving suits.
00:32:54And...
00:32:55I gave him a head start.
00:32:56Hmm.
00:32:57Hmm.
00:32:58Hmm.
00:32:59Hmm.
00:33:00Yes, he even got as far as the...
00:33:01The golden shrine, but no further.
00:33:02Hmm.
00:33:03What about Penrose?
00:33:04We found his body.
00:33:05Oh, I gave him a chance.
00:33:06I don't know why.
00:33:07Perhaps because I liked him.
00:33:08But he was of no use.
00:33:10So I sent him out.
00:33:12With one of those diving suits.
00:33:14And...
00:33:15I gave him a head start.
00:33:18Hmm.
00:33:19Hmm.
00:33:20Hmm.
00:33:21Yes, he even got as far as the...
00:33:24The golden shrine, but no further.
00:33:27Because your men killed him.
00:33:29I said he had his chance.
00:33:31So do you have a chance.
00:33:32You say this is the end?
00:33:34Why do you stay?
00:33:35There's a way out of here and you know where it is.
00:33:37So why don't you get out now while you can?
00:33:39No.
00:33:40Why not?
00:33:41You'll learn the answer to that question if you live long enough.
00:33:44I see.
00:33:45Well, to get back to the question of finding a way out of...
00:33:48Who are you?
00:33:49Well, my name is Harold Tufnel Jones.
00:33:52I'm an artist.
00:33:54And this is Harold.
00:33:56Chicken.
00:33:57You don't know how lucky you are.
00:34:00This is Benjamin Harris.
00:34:02Professor Benjamin, Benjamin Harris.
00:34:04Professor.
00:34:05Yes, he's a fellow of the Royal Society.
00:34:07Yes.
00:34:08He holds both the North of England and the South of England golden awards for technological achievements.
00:34:14He's an MA, BA, FS, CG, LMS, LNER.
00:34:20And he's got more letters after his name.
00:34:22Anybody think it was the alphabet.
00:34:23And what he doesn't know about earthquakes and Simon as a seismonology and technological achievements is absolutely not worth knowing.
00:34:31Is this true?
00:34:32Of course it's true!
00:34:33This fellow, J.S. Tilton, he's an amateur.
00:34:35My friend, Ben, he's the expert.
00:34:38The expert, aren't you?
00:34:40Can you save my city?
00:34:42From the volcano?
00:34:44Yes.
00:34:45Can you stop it?
00:34:46Tame it?
00:34:47Kill it?
00:34:48Oh, well, this is a matter for consideration.
00:34:50And consideration takes time, doesn't it?
00:34:52There is no time.
00:34:53No time.
00:34:54Captain!
00:34:55This is our tide meter.
00:35:02The tide will turn when the water level drops to zero.
00:35:08You have exactly three hours, Professor.
00:35:12Make the most of your time.
00:35:14No.
00:35:15No, leave it.
00:35:16I did that drawing.
00:35:17It's not perhaps one of my best.
00:35:18Would you say?
00:35:19A little too realistic, perhaps.
00:35:20You're an indifferent artist, sir.
00:35:21The young lady is much more beautiful than this.
00:35:37Then she is alive and she's here.
00:35:39Yes, and you are alive too.
00:35:41Try to remain so.
00:35:42Where is she?
00:35:43Simon, take these men to the grotto chamber.
00:35:48It will do you no good to question Simon.
00:35:52His tongue was cut out 60 years ago.
00:35:5660 years?
00:35:58Take them.
00:36:1350 years ago.
00:36:14What's that watering?
00:36:27Look at the German.
00:36:28Oh, so sorry.
00:36:30All they have Tony we have, Tony.
00:36:32Who is that whispering?
00:36:33It's this Fernand.
00:36:34Who is that whispering?
00:36:35Are you as crazy as the captain? What do I know about volcanoes? That's interesting. Could be Babylonian. Well, Herbert, we've had a busy day, haven't we? Not that we've accomplished much. Harold, what do I know about volcanoes? About as much as the captain, which is nothing at all.
00:37:04I'm beginning to think you talk too much. If I stop talking, we're dead. Do you want me to stop? All right, I'm sorry. For 60 years, a tongue cut out 60 years ago, and yet I'd swear the man's in his early 30s. Which suggests that the captain is lying. I don't know. But where did they get those diving suits and those silly crossbows? Pretty ancient, aren't they? Might have been used by Rip Van Winkle. Quite obviously, they haven't been sleeping. The poems of Edgar Allan Poe.
00:37:34This is the English first edition. Published in 1847. Must be worth a fortune.
00:37:41No rays from the holy heaven come down on the long night time of that town. For light from out the lurid sea streams up the turret silently.
00:37:58Gleams up the pinnacle's far and free. Up domes, up spires, up kingly halls. Up thanes, up Babylon-like walls. Up shadowy, long-forgotten boughs.
00:38:13Up sculptured ivy and stone flowers. Up many and many a marvelous shrine.
00:38:19Whose wreathed freezes intertwine the vile, the violet, and the vine.
00:38:26So blend the turrets and shadows there that all seem pendulous in air.
00:38:34While from a proud tower in the town, death looks gigantically down.
00:38:41The waves have now a redder glow. The hours are breathing faint and low.
00:38:47And when, amid no earthly moans, down, down, that town shall settle hence.
00:38:53Hell rising from a thousand thrones shall do it reverence.
00:39:00The end. The volcano. Hell itself. The poem's a coincidence.
00:39:06And a gruesome one.
00:39:08We've got to get out of here. Now, there must be a way.
00:39:12It could be one of those passages.
00:39:14Yes, very possibly. It'd be a pity to leave here without some sort of memento or nothing better.
00:39:18Well, just a little something. All we'll take is jail. But we've got to find her.
00:39:25Aye. And you can. No problem about that.
00:39:31You... you mean we're free?
00:39:34There's birds in a cage. Because you'll never find your way up there unless I help you.
00:39:38Oh, how?
00:39:40Walls have ears. If he should hear us.
00:39:44Well, how can he hear us?
00:39:46You're dealing with a crazy one. He'll kill us all.
00:39:49All right. All right.
00:39:50Can you take us to Miss Tregillis? The girl?
00:39:55Yes. And I can take you away from here.
00:39:59But I am coming with you. And I want a free pardon.
00:40:03Hmm?
00:40:04A free pardon. You're a gentleman. Important.
00:40:09You can use your influence up there to get me a free pardon.
00:40:13For what?
00:40:14What would it be but smuggling?
00:40:16Well, there are other crimes. Murder. Robbery.
00:40:19Smuggling, it were.
00:40:22He were the captain. The big man.
00:40:26Squire of Tregathian. He owned the manor house and all the land around for miles.
00:40:31He were a gentleman. But a smuggler just the same. We all worked for him.
00:40:38Did pretty well, too. Till those excise men moved in.
00:40:44Excise men?
00:40:45Aye. Couldn't keep their big noses out of it. They moved in one night. We all escaped.
00:40:52About 20 of us with the captain. Down the passages we went.
00:40:56We knew them all.
00:40:57Down into the sea we come.
00:41:00And we found the city. And we've been here ever since.
00:41:04Ever since when?
00:41:06Oh, that was summer of 1803.
00:41:11You must be mad.
00:41:13Who wouldn't be after a hundred years of this?
00:41:16A hundred years?
00:41:18You don't believe me, eh?
00:41:21I'm sorry.
00:41:31See for yourselves.
00:41:32This book belonged to his wife.
00:41:34The captain's wife.
00:41:36Have a look.
00:41:39That'd be the captain's name.
00:41:40Hugh.
00:41:41Hugh.
00:41:42Sir Hugh, if you want the facts.
00:41:43Sir Hugh?
00:41:44Yes.
00:41:45He were a knight of the realm.
00:41:46And that be the captain's handwriting.
00:41:48Written with a quill pen.
00:41:50See how the ink's all faded with age.
00:41:53But how can you prove that it is the captain's writing?
00:41:55I'll tell you how, sir.
00:41:57You see, it's the same letter O.
00:42:00The same E.
00:42:02And the same T.
00:42:04And that's no more than eight years old.
00:42:08There's the pen he used that time.
00:42:11A fountain pen?
00:42:12Aye.
00:42:13Brought down here by some gent who said the likes of that had only just been invented.
00:42:17Well, the captain ripped those words with it.
00:42:19And he wrote those back in 1799.
00:42:23Well, sir, is it a bargain?
00:42:26I can take you to the woman, and I can take you to Trucathion.
00:42:30But do I get my pardon up there?
00:42:32There'll be no pardon for you.
00:42:34Not anywhere.
00:42:36I knew you'd do this, Dan.
00:42:38No, captain. I was only telling them about us.
00:42:41About us? Did they believe you?
00:42:43A hundred years old?
00:42:45Rather more, as it happens.
00:42:47It is hard to accept, is it not?
00:42:49You need our help?
00:42:50Well, I'd say the world needs yours.
00:42:53You've found a way to live forever.
00:42:55It is a secret that we cannot pass on, sir.
00:42:59Now, unfortunately, it is only a local phenomenon.
00:43:02I still can't believe it.
00:43:04You wouldn't.
00:43:05We didn't believe it ourselves.
00:43:08Not for the first 10 or 20 years.
00:43:11Then we began to find out that none of us was growing any older.
00:43:15So we finally decided that it was a quality of the air,
00:43:20due to an imbalance of oxygen,
00:43:23brought on by the presence of the volcano.
00:43:27Did you tell them where to find her, Dan?
00:43:30No, captain. I never did.
00:43:31No, he didn't. He certainly didn't.
00:43:32Well, it won't be necessary.
00:43:33I'll take you to her myself.
00:43:35After you've said goodbye to Dan.
00:43:37Goodbye?
00:43:38But I never said where she was, captain.
00:43:39I never told him.
00:43:40Look at him.
00:43:41He's pathetic, isn't he?
00:43:42Did you really think that you could go up above there, Dan, and live?
00:43:45You're a fool.
00:43:57Or perhaps I should have told you the truth long ago.
00:44:00The truth?
00:44:01It has to do with actinic rays, ultraviolet rays.
00:44:04Down here under the sea, they become diffused and they can't harm us.
00:44:08But up above, up there, they would finish us.
00:44:12I could have been too, captain. I've been up there time and again myself and many others.
00:44:15Only for short periods and only at night, Dan.
00:44:18In the daylight we would grow old, Dan.
00:44:21So fast that it would be like a, like a worm shriveling on a hot stone in the sun.
00:44:26That's why we're all prisoners of our own hell, Dan.
00:44:30But we're alive.
00:44:31Yes, we are.
00:44:32And you might have been, if the professor can help us.
00:44:37Yes, that's right, Dan.
00:44:39You might have lived forever and ever.
00:44:43But perhaps you're lucky.
00:44:45Take him away.
00:44:46No, captain, no!
00:45:09It was the biggest.
00:45:14It was the biggest.
00:45:16I want you to go out.
00:45:17I want you to go out.
00:45:18I want you to go out.
00:45:19Let's get it.
00:45:20Your pumps are still working.
00:45:25Yes.
00:45:26But for how long?
00:45:30Your pumps are still working.
00:45:40Yes, but for how long?
00:45:44It's coming sooner than I thought.
00:45:49Those poor creatures, they're frightened.
00:45:54And I said I would take you to the young lady, and I will.
00:45:58Blindfold them.
00:46:00Now, look, aren't you carrying this thing a little too far?
00:46:04Oh, well, if you insist.
00:46:05My men will guide you.
00:46:08Nothing will happen to you yet.
00:46:10I don't like the word yet.
00:46:30Take off his blindfold.
00:46:41Jill!
00:46:43Remove his blindfold, too.
00:46:46Remove his blindfold, too.
00:46:50Mine?
00:46:51Remove it.
00:46:57We put her to sleep.
00:46:58We gave her a sleeping draught.
00:47:04That's the bells.
00:47:05Yes, but not the bells that you're thinking of.
00:47:08They only sound at the turn of the tide.
00:47:12Now, these are the signal for execution.
00:47:15Ours?
00:47:16No, Dan's.
00:47:17You killed him?
00:47:19No.
00:47:20No.
00:47:21I simply sent him where he wanted to go.
00:47:24Up there, in the daylight.
00:47:27No.
00:47:28No.
00:47:29No.
00:47:30No.
00:47:31No.
00:47:32No.
00:47:33No.
00:47:34No.
00:47:35Strangers, eh?
00:47:40Noisy night for your first visit.
00:47:42Tell me, who was the execution gong for?
00:47:47Was it for...
00:47:48Hmm?
00:47:49No, no, no.
00:47:50Of course not.
00:47:51That was eight years ago, at least.
00:47:53I think it was eight.
00:47:56Oh, she...
00:47:57She's still asleep.
00:47:59Hmm?
00:48:00She's pretty.
00:48:01Very pretty.
00:48:03Nice girl by the look of her.
00:48:06Ah.
00:48:07Ah, now.
00:48:09Let me introduce myself.
00:48:12My name is Ives.
00:48:15Ives?
00:48:16The Reverend Jonathan Ives.
00:48:21I was rector of Trevathi in the village, you know.
00:48:25Nice place.
00:48:27Nice people.
00:48:29Where do they say you disappeared 50 years ago?
00:48:32Hmm?
00:48:33What is it as long as that?
00:48:35Oh, time flies.
00:48:38Even down here.
00:48:39All right, old man.
00:48:40You've talked enough.
00:48:41And these two have seen enough.
00:48:42Blindfolds.
00:48:43If you harm that girl...
00:48:44Harm her?
00:48:45Why would I harm her?
00:48:47Worry about yourselves.
00:48:48You're to find a solution, remember.
00:48:49Take them.
00:48:50She's waking.
00:48:52Watch over her, old man.
00:48:54Take off their blindfolds.
00:49:01Come with me.
00:49:02Take off their blindfolds.
00:49:03Come with me.
00:49:04Take off their blindfolds.
00:49:06Come with me.
00:49:08That is.
00:49:09You're right.
00:49:10You're naked.
00:49:11I'm naked.
00:49:12You're naked.
00:49:13Okay, you're naked.
00:49:14No, they're naked.
00:49:15You're naked.
00:49:16Yeah, you're naked.
00:49:17Come with me.
00:49:18That's me.
00:49:19You're naked.
00:49:20No.
00:49:21So, okay.
00:49:22Come with me.
00:49:38Dan and the captain came in this way, which means that those stairs must lead to the tower.
00:49:42Which way did that door lead to?
00:49:44What are you up to now, Harold?
00:49:46We want to escape, don't we? Dan said he'd take us out of here.
00:49:49Yes, but he also said we needed his help to do it.
00:49:51Of course he'd say that.
00:49:52So?
00:49:53So?
00:49:54There must be a way out of here. Let's find it.
00:49:56Well, not without Jill.
00:49:57No, no, of course.
00:49:58She's coming too.
00:49:59How can she?
00:50:00I don't have the slightest idea where she is.
00:50:02I have.
00:50:03I counted the number of steps we took and the way we turned.
00:50:07When we came in this way, we took seven steps and turned to the right.
00:50:13So that when we go back, we take seven steps and we turn to the left.
00:50:18And then, if we take 60 paces, there are the stairs.
00:50:21Oh, what are we waiting for?
00:50:26One, two...
00:50:30That can't be right.
00:50:31Wait a minute. I'll get it.
00:50:33Three, four, five, six, seven...
00:50:39Did I say right or left?
00:50:41Left.
00:50:42Left.
00:50:43Right.
00:50:44Yeah.
00:50:45Follow me then.
00:51:04Beatrice.
00:51:05You're not.
00:51:06Never leave me again.
00:51:08You've come back to your husband after all these years.
00:51:14Never leave me again.
00:51:18Not when I live.
00:51:20Seven, twenty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty.
00:51:21Seven.
00:51:22Jill, we're going to get you out of here.
00:51:23We're going to try.
00:51:24How did you get here at all?
00:51:25We'll tell you later.
00:51:26But first, do you remember the way they brought you down here?
00:51:27It was dark and I was struggling so much.
00:51:29But there were passages and there was a cave, I think.
00:51:38And then I must have fainted.
00:51:39It was the last thing I remembered.
00:51:40And then I must have fainted.
00:51:42It was the last thing I remembered.
00:51:44struggling so much but there were there were passages and and there was a cave
00:51:51I think and and that then I must have fainted it was the last thing I
00:51:57remembered there was a man and the way he stared at me then you didn't come down
00:52:06through the sea Jill no then there is a dry land route
00:52:13would you know the way the way out you mean oh yes there is a way except my my
00:52:21memory isn't quite what it used to be things seem to seem to elude me please
00:52:28try to remember I remember presently I remember I've noticed things seem to
00:52:35come and go oh and did you did you know they killed that his mind wanders
00:52:43sometimes he knows what he's saying but most of the time what's behind the altar
00:52:48it's it's just another room here you told me it's a dead end and we'll take the
00:52:51other passage I'll go first but what about mr. eyes would you like to come to
00:52:56you I mean perhaps you'll remember if you come as well thank you sir no it's such a
00:53:05noisy night I prefer to take my ease what Dan he was so good there's some good in
00:53:18everybody don't you see anyway that's always been the precept on which I've built my life
00:53:31life right long life this one the right
00:54:01it's quite amazed isn't it I should have warned you that those passages were a waste of time
00:54:16so you found the young lady hmm one of you is brighter than I'd thought
00:54:23that's me and in that case you're entitled to your reward it's a pity however that the
00:54:32professor must suffer too suffer Simon
00:54:39that's your execution bell yes sir but it
00:54:53has other uses as well what are you going to do about us they will make that decision
00:54:59death of course but we're expected to follow an established ritual don't ask me how old it is
00:55:09they've been asking for a sacrifice for the volcano now they can have it what him
00:55:18you that's idiocy killing us won't stop the volcano I know that but they don't if a sacrifice will make
00:55:31them a little happier for what little time is left
00:55:38listen to your pumps that sounds different yes yes I'm afraid you're right
00:56:05but that doesn't alter your situation
00:56:10they have decided you will be sent out
00:56:28just before the turn of the tide why wait for the tide
00:56:33we're not murderers sir you will be given your chance you will be given diving suits in a head
00:56:42start just as Penrose was a lot of good it did him yes I agree and I doubt that will help you
00:56:49very much either but what chance did you give Dan Dan was a traitor your only crime was curiosity
00:56:56how will that head start help us will she be sent out with us too
00:57:01no take her back oh and by the way do not attempt to get to her again from now on those passages will be guarded
00:57:16all right Simon
00:57:23Simon still out there of course
00:57:39what the shh be quiet everything above a whisper can be heard
00:57:46what in here yes here he told me he's all right now he knows what he's saying
00:57:51yeah I do indeed you must have heard them whispering do you think they can't hear you
00:57:54how they have some sort of listening tubes so whisper how did you get here there's a guard out there
00:58:00there was a guard
00:58:03you uh you remember the way the way they brought Jill down here
00:58:07yes of course I do but it's no use now
00:58:09that route is only clear of sea water for a few minutes every day
00:58:13you have to wait 18 hours
00:58:1518 hours your only chance of escape is at the turn of the tide
00:58:18but they're sending us out any minute so the young lady told me
00:58:21out there you'll have to because you won't stand a chance once the guards are on your trail
00:58:26you mean you want us to go now
00:58:28you must reach the golden shrine at the turn of the tide it's nearly half a mile away
00:58:32a cave under the cliff just to the right of the volcano
00:58:35yes but how do we get there
00:58:37there are some diving suits in the watergate chamber that must be the way you came in
00:58:40oh he's right we did
00:58:41it's dangerous I know but if you stay here you'll die anyway so what can you lose
00:58:45right so you'll go down to the watergate chamber the three of you
00:58:52you'll put on the diving suits they're clumsy and difficult to handle
00:58:56but you'll soon get used to them
00:58:58and the lock gate control winch is on the right
00:59:01it's rusting but it works
00:59:03once you're on the sea the glare from the volcano will guide you
00:59:07now follow that glare till you're past the crater
00:59:09and the shrine is above water level at the turn of the tide
00:59:12and there's a pathway that leads up to Trigathion
00:59:15well if the volcano isn't active now then then how can it guide us
00:59:19well that's just something you'll have to accept
00:59:21but what about the guards on the way down to the watergate
00:59:23there'll be no guards once the alarm sounds
00:59:25alarm?
00:59:26the execution gong it's also the alarm signal
00:59:28once the alarm sounds any guards that are on the stairway will come rushing down the passage
00:59:33to make sure that you're here but you'll fool them by going up to the tower room and going down the stairway from there
00:59:38and nobody will hear you not above the sound of the gong
00:59:41well who'll be in the tower room?
00:59:43only me sounding the alarm the captain would have gone to his room
00:59:46all right
00:59:48well now i'm going up to the tower
00:59:50now remember
00:59:51once you hear the gong
00:59:53join me immediately
00:59:55can't you come with us?
00:59:56thank you no i'm
00:59:58i'm too old and too
01:00:01too tired
01:00:03well there is one point
01:00:06there's no need for you to take a chance
01:00:10because i happen to know why you were brought here
01:00:13it was because of a sketch found in a stolen book
01:00:16i was with the captain when he came upon it
01:00:19i've never seen a man so
01:00:21so moved
01:00:23he ordered them to bring you down here
01:00:26he was like a man possessed
