The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues is a 1955 independently made, American, science-fiction film, produced by Jack Milner and Dan Milner (who also directed), that stars Kent Taylor and Cathy Downs.

When a postmortem finds that a murdered fisherman was exposed to unusual amounts of radiation, Dr. Ted Stevens (Kent Taylor) decides to investigate. Out looking for clues, he meets a young beauty named Lois (Cathy Downs), whose father, Professor King (Michael Whalen), runs a local marine biology lab. Ted discovers that the elder King's secret experiments with atomic energy have resulted in the creation of a murderous aquatic beast, and he must act fast to prevent more needless deaths.

00:03:29Don't touch that.
00:03:49William S. Grant, special investigator.
00:04:00Department of Defense, Washington.
00:04:01Well, I guess that makes it pretty official.
00:04:05Yes, I guess it does.
00:04:08His body is rigid with burns.
00:04:10The boat's charred, too.
00:04:12Yet there's no sign of fire.
00:04:15We better get him out of the water.
00:04:16I'll take care of him myself.
00:04:19Just thought I'd give you some help.
00:04:46Now that you've got all my vital statistics, let's have yours.
00:04:53Name, address, occupation, things like that.
00:04:56The name's Baxter.
00:04:57Ted Baxter.
00:04:59The address, local hotel.
00:05:01Occupation, beachcomber and tourist.
00:05:03Length of stay, indefinite.
00:05:05Will that do?
00:05:07Tell me, how did you happen to pick this particular place?
00:05:10Know anybody in town?
00:05:11No.
00:05:12I have a letter of introduction to the head of the College of Oceanography here.
00:05:16Professor King?
00:05:17Which explains why I'm here at this particular minute.
00:05:19I was on my way to see him and he's home when I stumbled in onto this.
00:05:23I was on my way to see him and he's home when I was on my way to see him and he's home when I was on my way to see him.
00:05:53Come out of there!
00:06:01I met you at the College of Oceanography yesterday, didn't I?
00:06:04That's right.
00:06:05I'm George Thomas, Professor King's assistant.
00:06:08You seemed a little anxious not to be seen.
00:06:11Well, I saw two strangers standing over a corpse.
00:06:14Not being the hero type, I decided this was no place for me.
00:06:18You planning to do a little diving, Mr. Thomas?
00:06:21This late at night?
00:06:23I'm an oceanographer.
00:06:24The ocean's my business, day or night.
00:06:27Anything particularly interesting around here, you'll keep out of this.
00:06:32You better not do any diving around here for a while.
00:06:35I want you to forget that you were even here tonight, understand?
00:06:38Stand?
00:06:38Stand.
00:06:39Stand!
00:06:39I don't know.
00:07:09You're soaking wet.
00:07:16So I am.
00:07:19I saw a wonderful marine specimen. I went in after it.
00:07:23With the college on vacation, you're spending more time there than ever.
00:07:26I hardly see you anymore.
00:07:30I've never seen you this detached from me, from reality.
00:07:35I'm working on breathtaking things, Lois. Great things.
00:07:38And you still won't tell me what it is?
00:07:40Not yet.
00:07:41You've got your own staff consumed with curiosity.
00:07:45Even your secretary has asked me if I know what it is you're doing behind that tightly locked lab of yours.
00:07:51She's a sneaking, prying female. I should fire her.
00:07:55And I suppose George is quizzing you, too.
00:07:58A little.
00:08:00I think he feels a deep resentment because you cut him off from your work so.
00:08:04He's an opportunist, not a scientist.
00:08:06I don't trust him, nor Ethel.
00:08:08They're both spying on me.
00:08:14I'm not here. I'm in bed.
00:08:15I've been in bed an hour.
00:08:16An hour. You understand?
00:08:17Oh, won't you come in?
00:08:33Is Professor King here?
00:08:35I'm sorry. He's asleep.
00:08:37He went to bed an hour ago.
00:08:39Oh, I see.
00:08:40I see.
00:08:40I see.
00:08:40I see.
00:08:47Are you sure the Professor's asleep?
00:08:52Tell him that Ted Baxter's here.
00:08:54It's urgent.
00:08:55What do you want him for?
00:08:57Please tell him.
00:09:05Dad?
00:09:05Dad?
00:09:08Dad?
00:09:08Dad?
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:28Dad?
00:09:28Dad?
00:09:31Dad?
00:09:32Dad?
00:11:33Thank you, Doctor.
00:11:34You'd be surprised how well Washington knows you.
00:11:37Care to hear how famous you are?
00:11:40Dr. Stevens, oceanographer, one of the leaders in this field.
00:11:43Author of two highly controversial books, Biological Effects of Radiation on Marine Life and Nature's Own Death Ray.
00:11:52You have been busy, Mr. Grant.
00:11:54There's more.
00:11:56Dr. Stevens and the laboratory experiments successfully activated the hydrogen isotopes in heavy water to form an atomic chain reaction.
00:12:04He called this development the first workable death ray.
00:12:09Suppose you tell me what you're doing with that Geiger counter.
00:12:12Well, I told you I thought the boat showed radiation burns.
00:12:16I wanted to verify it.
00:12:18I did.
00:12:19Scientific curiosity, you might say.
00:12:22And using the phony name?
00:12:23What's that for?
00:12:24That's for reasons of my own.
00:12:27I watched you yesterday.
00:12:30The way you looked out there is if you expected something like this was going to happen.
00:12:34Am I to consider myself a suspect?
00:12:36What happened out there seems to tie in pretty closely with your own experiments.
00:12:42The evidence, if you can call it that, was highly circumstantial.
00:12:47Washington tell you anything else about me?
00:12:51Enough to make me keep my eyes on you.
00:12:55You know, if you leave me alone, I might be able to help you with this.
00:13:00And then again, maybe not.
00:13:06You know, if you leave me alone, I might be able to help you with this.
00:13:36Good morning, Miss Ethel.
00:13:39Good morning, Andy.
00:13:42They found Willie Harrison's boat this morning, burned like the others.
00:13:46They ain't found his body.
00:13:48That makes three of the phantoms got.
00:13:55You know what they're saying in town?
00:13:57That nothing like this ever happened until they opened this school here.
00:14:00I can't say that I blame them.
00:14:04The way the professor's been acting, locking himself up in his room.
00:14:08He won't even let me in there to clean it.
00:14:10And all those noises coming from that room.
00:14:13I've got work to do, Andy.
00:14:14And that young one, George.
00:14:22What about George?
00:14:25He's following the professor around.
00:14:29Follows him everywhere.
00:14:30I've seen him.
00:14:31Hiding behind trees.
00:14:33Watches him all the time.
00:14:35It ain't normal, this carryin' on.
00:14:40What's not normal, Andy?
00:14:41That ain't normal, Andy.
00:15:11I'm not to be disturbed, you understand?
00:15:25Yes, sir.
00:15:41What have you got there, Ethel?
00:15:48Nothing, just a piece of scrap.
00:16:00HEF increase .56, dash 24.
00:16:05.64, dash 32, .70, dash 18.
00:16:16Keeping right up with the professor, aren't you, George?
00:16:19I'm one step ahead of him.
00:16:22I've got to get into his lab, Ethel.
00:16:24You've got to help me get in there.
00:16:28It's worth a lot of money to me.
00:16:32To you, too.
00:16:34I could tell him what you're up to.
00:16:35I don't know.
00:16:40You could.
00:16:45But you won't.

00:22:11Care for a cigarette?
00:22:13No, thanks.
00:22:15Is something the matter?
00:22:17No, no.
00:22:18You seem a little nervous, Mr. Baxter.
00:22:20Why don't you call me Ted?
00:22:23Mr. Baxter sounds so formal, especially here at the beach.
00:22:27All right, Ted.
00:22:28All right, Ted.
00:22:28Oh, it's too nice just to sit around.
00:22:32If you're not coming in for a swim, then I think I'll go in a boat.
00:22:35Now, look, you can't go swimming.
00:22:37I don't like being told what to do.
00:22:40Well, it's not a case of my telling you what to do.
00:22:43It's just that it isn't safe out there.
00:22:45I think you're being a little ridiculous.
00:22:48Look, I've spent all my life near the water.
00:22:51I can handle myself under any situation.
00:22:54But I'm afraid you can't in this one.
00:22:55I'm going to insist that you stay out of the water at least for a while.
00:22:59Insist?
00:23:00Yes, you must trust me.
00:23:01You really mean that, don't you?
00:23:05I really do.
00:23:07Let's just say that I'd feel better knowing that you were safe here on the beach.
00:23:12For personal reasons.
00:23:15You ought to do that more often.
00:23:17Do what?
00:23:19Smile.
00:23:20I like it.
00:23:21Oh.
00:23:23Well, all I need is a little bit of courage.
00:23:26And you've given that to me.
00:23:32And you've given that to me.
00:23:56I like it.
00:24:12Ethel.
00:24:14Will you go down to the supply room and get some ocean current charts?
00:24:17Yes, sir.
00:24:19Professor King.
00:24:22I wonder if I might have a few words with you alone.
00:24:24Ethel, I believe you were on your way down to the supply room.
00:24:30I called on you at your home last night.
00:24:33But you'd gone out for a walk through an open window.
00:24:36Yes, my daughter Lois told me that a Mr. Baxter had called.
00:24:40I got a terrible scolding on your account.
00:24:42I'm afraid you ruined my favorite device for getting out of the house when I can't sleep.
00:24:47Professor, I saw a fisherman's body washed up on the shore last night.
00:24:56These men get very careless.
00:24:58They think they rule the sea.
00:25:01But it's just the opposite.
00:25:02The sea rules us, Mr. Baxter.
00:25:06This man wasn't killed by a natural force.
00:25:09His body was rigid with radiation burns.
00:25:12I think whatever killed him was man-made.
00:25:17Indeed.
00:25:18Very interesting.
00:25:21Although not within my scope as an oceanographer.
00:25:24Just what is it you want of me, Mr. Baxter?
00:25:27Well, I'd like a detailed study of the ocean in this vicinity.
00:25:30The depth and the composition of the floor.
00:25:33Anything that you might have.
00:25:34Take a little time to gather them.
00:25:36I'd like them as soon as possible.
00:25:38Oh, I told my daughter I wouldn't work this afternoon.
00:25:43Why don't you come to the house about three?
00:25:46Say, if you get there before I do and Lois is out, just go on right in.
00:25:49The house is generally unlocked.
00:25:52That'll be fine.
00:25:54And by the way, I take it you are working with Mr. Grant, the federal investigator.
00:26:00You might say so.
00:26:01Well, I'll do it.
00:26:08You can come in now, miss.
00:26:14I hope you found the conversation interesting.
00:26:27You're an inquisitive woman, aren't you, Ethel?
00:26:30You're an inquisitive woman.
00:29:30Surely.
00:29:35Thanks.
00:29:38Is father expecting you?
00:29:41Yes.
00:29:42Yes.
00:30:11Would you mind helping me with this zipper?
00:30:26Of course.
00:30:28You're an awful long time with that.
00:30:39Mission completed, sorry to say.
00:30:44Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:30:48Well, now that dad's here, will you excuse me?
00:30:51Oh, surely.
00:30:52I hope these are what you wanted, Dr. Stevens.
00:31:02I've read your books very thoroughly, doctor, on which incidentally your photograph appears.
00:31:10Well, maybe it's just as well you know who I am.
00:31:14Have you charted the area around Baker's Cove?
00:31:21The area where the area where the accidents occurred?
00:31:25No, I don't think we got around to that.
00:31:27We've only been here two years, you know.
00:31:31Well, you've mapped other areas in this vicinity.
00:31:33A few years ago, a few years ago, a submerged deposit of uranium ore was found along this coast.
00:31:41Is there any evidence of a similar deposit along here?
00:31:45No, not to my knowledge, why?
00:31:49Well, this morning I made a test dive over the area where the accidents have taken place.
00:31:54They weren't accidents.
00:31:57There's a shaft of light coming up out of the ocean.
00:32:00I have reason to believe that it's nuclear in character.
00:32:04Now, any object coming in contact with this light would be subject to extreme radiation.
00:32:10I believe this light killed three men.
00:32:14Incredible.
00:32:16You say you made a close examination of this light?
00:32:20Not as close as I would have liked to.
00:32:23It was being guarded by a sea serpent.
00:32:26A hideous beast that defies description.
00:32:29No, Doctor.
00:32:30If I didn't know that you were a scientist of high standards,
00:32:33I'd say that you were the victim of the ridiculous phantom stories that are running wild around the village.
00:32:42Professor.
00:32:43You say you've read my stories.
00:32:47Indeed I have.
00:32:49Much of my work is based on your findings.
00:32:52Then you must remember my experiments on activating the hydrogen isotopes in heavy water.
00:32:58Oh, but that was on a miniature scale in the laboratory with a lot of equipment.
00:33:02But on the ocean floor, I proved it could be done.
00:33:05I used artificial means to start the reaction.
00:33:09Then you think that with the submerged deposit of uranium ore, you can get the same reaction on a much larger scale.
00:33:15A weapon like this could destroy anything coming in contact with it.
00:33:18Oh, fantastic.
00:33:20Once the chain reaction had started, it could continue indefinitely.
00:33:24As a matter of fact, keep growing larger.
00:33:27And what about the beast down there?
00:33:30Was he man-made too?
00:33:32I believe so.
00:33:33Since marine life lives in a constant flow of heavy water,
00:33:37the effect of radiation on it would be completely different than it is on humans.
00:33:41Well, that's your theory on mutations, isn't it, Doctor?
00:33:45Yes.
00:33:46And if what I believe is true, this monster that I saw in the ocean was a mutation of some sea creature.
00:33:54You see, it draws its energy from the nuclear light itself, just as plant life needs the sun to grow on.
00:34:01Well, have you any evidence to support this fantastic theory?
00:34:05I created such a mutant in my own laboratory.
00:34:08Oh, come now, Doctor.
00:34:10I destroyed it, just as this creature must be destroyed.
00:34:13And the knowledge that went into creating it.
00:34:15Do you think that that knowledge might have come out of my college?
00:34:19Since I am head of that college, obviously.
00:34:24Professor, in science we look for one thing and find another.
00:34:29We split an atom and the hydrogen bomb has evolved.
00:34:34We set up a simple experiment or study on underwater life.
00:34:39Something new and horrible has created.
00:34:43I feel as if I and my experiments are suspect.
00:34:48Well, I haven't overlooked that possibility.
00:34:51If it were a matter of pure science alone, I'd be inclined to examine you most closely.
00:34:58However, there's another element.
00:35:01Another element?
00:35:03The person responsible for this terrible weapon has offered it for sale.
00:35:07To the highest bidder.
00:35:08For sale?
00:35:09I don't believe it.
00:35:15Hello.
00:35:18Yes, Mr. Grant.
00:35:20We'll have them ready for you in the morning.
00:35:22That's right.
00:35:25Goodbye.
00:35:26Goodbye.
00:35:30Grant's going to make a dive in the morning.
00:35:31He's borrowing some equipment from us.
00:35:33We...
00:35:34We can't let him go down there.
00:35:36Why not?
00:35:37Well, in view of what you told me, I thought...
00:35:40Well, it's not safe for him to go down there.
00:35:43Why are you staring at me, Doctor?
00:35:45You seem so skeptical when I told you the results of my test dive.
00:35:53Yet you show genuine concern for Mr. Grant's safety.
00:35:59Good day, Professor.
00:36:15Ethel.
00:36:22Did I startle you?
00:36:23I'm sorry.
00:36:24I didn't hear you come out.
00:36:26I forgot to tell you that Mr. Grant wants to pick up a full set of diving equipment tomorrow.
00:36:30Have it ready for him.
00:36:31Yes, sir.
00:36:32And tell George and the night watchman, in case you're not here.
00:36:35Yes, sir.
00:36:42Ethel.
00:36:43I consider you an intelligent woman.
00:36:46A bit bitter, perhaps.
00:36:48No great lover of mankind, but still intelligent.
00:36:51I'd like your opinion.
00:36:53What would you consider a just punishment for a man or woman...
00:36:58...who would betray his fellow man for money?
00:37:02One who would take a scientific discovery of monumental scope...
00:37:06...and use it to line his or her pockets?
00:37:09I don't know.
00:37:17Would you consider...
00:37:19...death...
00:37:21...just...
00:37:25...well?
00:37:32No matter.
00:37:33You can tell me some other time.
00:37:34You can tell me some other time.
00:37:35You can tell me some other time.
00:37:36Well, what was this.
00:37:38Another time.
00:37:51You can tell me some other time.
00:37:53Well, that's what they should say.
00:37:54No matter.
00:37:55I don't know about the shock...
00:37:57... Laut death.
00:37:58Hello. Get me Mr. Grant, please.
00:38:15You shouldn't have come here. I may have been followed.
00:38:20There was a time when you would have welcomed me under any circumstances.
00:38:23You've got federal men investigating.
00:38:25They must know something.
00:38:26They're planning on making a dive tomorrow.
00:38:28A dive? They've got to be stopped.
00:38:31How?
00:38:32That's your problem.
00:38:33You shouldn't have come here.
00:38:35I had to. I got a cable from Antwerp. I'm to fly there in two days.
00:38:40They're expecting me to bring some vital information from you.
00:38:44I'm not ready.
00:38:46You were ready enough to accept a considerable sum of money in advance, weren't you?
00:38:49I won't know anything until I can get into King's lab.
00:38:52Then get in. Butch your way in.
00:38:55I tried that with his secretary.
00:38:56It didn't work.
00:38:59You're facing some serious problems, George.
00:39:02You have two days in which to find the answers.
00:39:05I'll be leaving for Europe the day after tomorrow.
00:39:08Where will I find you?
00:39:09I'll be spending most of my time soaking up a little sun at Colby's Point.
00:39:17That's where we used to meet, remember?
00:39:21I remember.
00:39:23For quite a while, we were just a man and a woman, weren't we?
00:39:26I didn't know then they could put beauty and poison so cleverly together in one package.
00:39:41Colby's Point, remember?
00:39:43I don't know if you're inside.
00:40:29Is it all right to talk here?
00:40:42Go ahead.
00:40:44I can tell you what you want to know.
00:40:47All right.
00:40:59I can tell you.
00:41:29My, you look lovely.
00:41:35I hope my caller feels the same way about it.
00:41:37I'm sure he will.
00:41:38Dr. Stevens is very observing.
00:41:41He's a bright young man.
00:41:43Sometimes I think he's too bright.
00:41:45Too bright?
00:41:46I don't understand what you mean.
00:41:48Oh, just an old coot thinking out loud.
00:41:52You know, science is a devouring mistress.
00:41:57She devours all who seek to fathom her mysteries.
00:42:00And for every secret she reveals, she demands a price.
00:42:04A price that a scientist must be prepared to pay.
00:42:06Even at the cost of his life.
00:42:10Or the life of others who stand in the way of his search.
00:42:14You say that almost as though you were threatening me.
00:42:19You?
00:42:19Oh, what nonsense.
00:42:28Good evening.
00:42:29Good evening.
00:42:30Evening.
00:42:31I dare say you two won't mind being left alone.
00:42:33You're beautiful.
00:42:41Which is a good opening line for any date.
00:42:43Oh, I've got more.
00:42:45But they require an entirely different setting.
00:42:48How about a nice walk along the ocean?
00:42:50He may fool the rest of you with his soft voice, but not me.
00:43:04He's a killer.
00:43:06You can't accuse King of Treason just because you hate him.
00:43:09I'll accuse him of anything.
00:43:11He sent my only son out in a squall to get his filthy ocean specimens.
00:43:17Proof, Ethel.
00:43:18I need proof.
00:43:21He works behind those locked doors of his.
00:43:24If I could just get in there, I could get you all the proof you want.
00:43:29We may be able to figure out something along those lines.
00:43:35If I could show you how to make a wax impression of those locks,
00:43:38could you do it sometime tomorrow?
00:43:40I'm sure I could.
00:43:41Come on.
00:43:50Come on.
00:43:57Come on.
00:43:59Come on.
00:43:59Hmm.
00:44:00Come on.
00:47:35There were some very pleasant moments of silence, too.
00:47:40We really should go.
00:47:43All right.
00:48:05Look, you go home and call Bill Grant.
00:48:11You'll find him at the hotel.
00:48:12Tell him I'll wait here for his instructions.
00:48:14Hurry, please.
00:49:45They're burnt.
00:49:46They're burnt worse than the fisherman was.
00:49:52They're burnt worse than the fisherman was.
00:49:54They're burnt worse than the fisherman was.
00:49:58I think it's about time we did something about this.
00:50:00They're burnt.
00:50:01They're burnt worse than the fisherman was.
00:50:02They're burnt worse than the fisherman was.
00:50:03They're burnt worse than the fisherman was.
00:50:04I think it's about time we did something about this.
00:50:07We?
00:50:08Am I off your list of suspects?
00:50:15Earlier today, I had a long talk with Washington.
00:50:18You were the topic of conversation.
00:50:20Am I to be shot at sunrise?
00:50:23They told me to cooperate with you.
00:50:26You could have floored me.
00:50:27They put you on this case, too, and didn't even tell me about it.
00:50:30I thought they would eventually.
00:50:32Apparently, they were two completely indifferent investigations of this.
00:50:36One from a scientific point of view and one from a gumshoe, government style.
00:50:44Pacific College of Oceanography.
00:50:49You know, this spear may be our first real break.
00:50:52It's a way to narrows the field down, doesn't it?
00:50:54Yes, it seems so.
00:50:56I think I'll take it down to the crime lab and have them dusted for prints.
00:50:59How about you going down to the college and picking up some diving equipment?
00:51:02I checked with Professor King and he said the night watchman would give it to us.
00:51:06Okay.
00:51:13What do you say we make our dive about 6 a.m.?
00:51:15Yeah.
00:51:18Bill, I made a test dive yesterday.
00:51:21It's pretty grim.
00:51:25There's a shaft of radioactive light down there.
00:51:28Touch it and you're dead.
00:51:29And if that isn't enough, there's some kind of an animal standing guard over it.
00:51:35Then there really is a basis for these phantom stories?
00:51:38I'm afraid there is.
00:51:41This will take care of it.
00:51:42And I won't miss.
00:51:44Now, my principal interest is the light ray.
00:51:46Now, you will have to draw whatever it is down there away so I can get a good look at that light.
00:51:50And Bill.
00:51:51Now, it isn't going to be easy.
00:51:53Or pleasant.
00:51:56Neither is this.
00:51:58Here is this.
00:51:59Here.
00:52:00Here.
00:52:01Here.
00:52:02Here.
00:52:03Here.
00:52:04Here.
00:52:05Here.
00:52:06Here.
00:52:07Here.
00:52:08Here.
00:52:09Here.
00:52:10Here.
00:52:11Here.
00:52:12Here.
00:52:13Here.
00:52:14Here.
00:52:15Here.
00:52:16Oh, my God.
00:52:46Hey, Bill. What happened?
00:53:16Still want to go in? Feel all right?
00:53:23Okay.
00:53:24Okay.
00:53:25Okay.
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:27Okay.
00:53:28Okay.
00:53:29Okay.
00:53:30Okay.
00:53:31Okay.
00:53:32Okay.
00:53:33Okay.
00:53:34Okay.
00:53:35Okay.
00:53:36Okay.
00:53:37Okay.
00:53:40Okay.
00:53:44Okay.
00:57:16It all ties together.
00:57:17We were getting too nosy, so King tried to get rid of both of us.
00:57:20Maybe it was George.
00:57:21Maybe both of them.
00:57:23The secretary could be tied into it for all we know.
00:57:25Nah, rule her out.
00:57:26We were, well, talking.
00:57:29She tells me she can prove that King's behind this whole thing.
00:57:32Prove it?
00:57:32Oh, I rigged up a set of keys for her to get into his laboratory.
00:57:36She tells me all the proof I need is right in that room.
00:57:39I hope she's right.
00:57:40We'll know tonight.
00:57:41One of the spear guns is missing.
00:57:50One of the spear guns is missing.
00:58:04I saw King, I saw King take one out yesterday.
00:58:05I saw King take one out yesterday.
00:58:06I saw King take one out yesterday.
00:58:06That's odd.
00:58:08I thought I saw you carrying one when you left last night.
00:58:11You see too much, Ethel.
00:58:14You should wear blinkers.
00:58:16Is he in yet?
00:58:17No.
00:58:24I've got to get in there today.
00:58:26Break the door down.
00:58:28He mustn't know, Ethel.
00:58:29This is important to me.
00:58:30It's important to staying alive.
00:58:32I can't help you.
00:58:34This is serious.
00:58:35I'm in trouble.
00:58:37You like that, don't you?
00:58:38I've too much trouble of my own to worry about yours.
00:58:43Good morning.
00:59:10Good morning.
00:59:10Daddy, Dad told me that you and Mr. Grantland had died.
00:59:15Yes.
00:59:16I'm glad I learned about it after it was all over.
00:59:19I phoned the college.
00:59:20They told me your father was at home.
00:59:23He was terribly upset when he heard the news.
00:59:25The boy, the one in the boat.
00:59:27He was one of his students.
00:59:29Oh, that's a shame.
00:59:31I'd like to talk to your father.
00:59:40You wish to speak to me?
01:00:00Why, yes.
01:00:00I thought you might be interested in the results of the dive we made this morning.
01:00:05The very fact that you're here now tells me that your phantom, as well as your light ray,
01:00:10is a myth, a hoax.
01:00:12They both exist.
01:00:14The light ray, as you call it, is very definitely atomic and deadly.
01:00:19The only reason I'm alive is because I made sure I didn't come in contact with it myself.
01:00:23It's all too preposterous for serious thought.
01:00:26Phantom marine mutations, death rays, utter nonsense.
01:00:30I'm afraid, Doctor, that you are the victim of an overwhelming imagination.
01:00:35Good day, Doctor Stevens.
01:00:40You don't look too close to me.
01:01:09You don't look well, George.
01:01:11Or is it just that I don't find you attractive anymore?
01:01:16Nothing's going right, Wanda.
01:01:18I don't know if I can get what they want.
01:01:21They won't like it.
01:01:23And when they don't like something, they're liable to be a little extreme in showing it.
01:01:29They might even come to the same conclusion that I came to last night.
01:01:34That you're of no use to us.
01:01:36Last night?
01:01:37Ethel, King's secretary, was crying your little heart out to Mr. Grant.
01:01:43I saw them.
01:01:44Government man?
01:01:46I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I'm pretty sure I caught your name.
01:01:50She knows enough about me to...
01:01:53Evidently, she hasn't told him what she knows.
01:01:57Yet.
01:01:58What do I do, Wanda?
01:02:01I know what I do.
01:02:03I'll be here tomorrow, too.
01:02:10But don't come unless you have something for me.
01:02:13Here we go.
01:02:44You're working very late tonight, aren't you, Ethel?
01:02:47I had some work to clean up.
01:02:51Good night.
01:03:13Good night.
01:03:14Good night.
01:03:16Good night.
01:03:18Good night.
01:03:19Good night.
01:03:27Good night.
01:03:29Good night.
01:03:32Good night.
01:03:59I believe you are looking for these.
01:04:29I believe you are looking for these.
01:04:59I believe you are looking for these.
01:05:10Dad, what's wrong?
01:05:14Oh, I feel so old, so tired, defeated.
01:05:19Dr. Stevens, I want to apologize to you for my rudeness this afternoon.
01:05:24I've had a few very trying days.
01:05:26Of course, I understand.
01:05:29Maybe I better leave.
01:05:31Come in.
01:05:34Professor King?
01:05:35That's right.
01:05:36Are you at the college tonight?
01:05:38Yes, for a while.
01:05:39Mind telling me when you left?
01:05:42About an hour ago, I think.
01:05:45What's this all about?
01:05:46Your secretary, Miss Hall, was found murdered a short while ago.
01:05:52Ethel.
01:05:54She left the college.
01:05:55A few minutes later, you followed.
01:05:57That it?
01:05:58I don't grasp the significance of that fact.
01:06:00Do you think that I would take a human life?
01:06:05Willfully, deliberately?
01:06:06She just as well as told me you were going to kill her.
01:06:14She was killed with one of the college's spear guns.
01:06:16Am I being formally charged with this horrible thing?
01:06:19Not yet.
01:06:21It's just a matter of time.
01:06:23Come on.
01:06:25Come on.
01:06:38Dad!
01:06:39We just going to sit here all day?
01:06:50There isn't much else we can do till the sheriff gets here with his report.
01:06:54No, it's just like I killed Ethel myself.
01:06:57I rigged the keys for her to get into King's laboratory.
01:07:02That's it.
01:07:03That's what we ought to do.
01:07:04Get into that room of his.
01:07:05Well, assuming that it was King, which is something I'm not ready to do.
01:07:10He could have destroyed everything in his laboratory if he found Ethel in there.
01:07:14His equipment, his notes.
01:07:16Don't you see, Bill?
01:07:17It's what's in his mind or George's that's important.
01:07:20Notes?
01:07:21Wait a minute.
01:07:24Ethel gave me this at the restaurant.
01:07:27She copied it from King.
01:07:29Mean anything to you?
01:07:35Well, we solved your murder for you, Mr. Grant.
01:07:39Same speargun fired both shafts.
01:07:41The one that tried to kill Doc here and the one that got Miss Hall.
01:07:45Same fingerprints over both of them.
01:07:48They were George Thomases, King's assistant.
01:07:51That was the dumbest kill he ever saw.
01:07:54He left the speargun in his car.
01:07:56Same prints all over it.
01:07:57And to clinch it, he didn't come home last night.
01:08:00I guess I'd better put in for retirement.
01:08:04I sure had this one figured wrong.
01:08:07I called the college to tell the old man he was in the clear, but no one answered.
01:08:11He's probably at home.
01:08:12I think I'd better go tell him.
01:08:14Tell the old man I'm sorry.
01:08:20I kind of have an idea where we can get George.
01:08:24Want to come along? Might be able to use some help.
01:08:26Come on.
01:08:27Come on.
01:08:28Come on.
01:08:29Come on.
01:08:30Come on.
01:08:31Come on.
01:08:32Come on.
01:08:33Come on.
01:08:34Come on.
01:08:35Come on.
01:08:36I've forgotten how pleasant it could be. Just walking.
01:08:37You see, it's not so hard to take a day off. We'll do it again.
01:08:38I doubt whether the trap would permit it.
01:08:39The trap?
01:08:40Come on.
01:08:41Come on.
01:08:42Come on.
01:08:43Come on.
01:08:44Come on.
01:08:46Come on.
01:08:50We've forgotten how pleasant it could be, just walk along the way, but while walking, I'd
01:09:00had the wealth of the unfortunate abandonment.
01:09:05i doubt whether the trap would permit it the trap knowledge sometimes has steel jaws
01:09:12like a trap and it can either destroy the hunter or the hunted
01:09:18you frighten me when you talk like that
01:09:28here comes your dr stevens
01:09:30i have some news that i think will interest you about ethel's murder the sheriff has proof it was
01:09:39george i knew it wasn't you why would he want her dead it's possible that ethel found out that
01:09:47well he he had to silence her
01:09:52why in the gloom dad's just been acquitted of murder
01:09:55lois i'd like to talk to your father alone why it'll only take a few minutes dear
01:10:06you better run on home i'll follow you there
01:10:13you'd better go please
01:10:14ethel gave this to mr grant she said she copied it from your notes intensity increase readings of
01:10:28the light shaft you call it hef hydro energy force you're quite right there is a uranium deposit on
01:10:37the ocean floor how did you activate it that dr stevens is my knowledge and mine alone but it must be
01:10:46destroyed it started with a simple animal experiment one of yours doctor i thought
01:10:52so and i advanced way beyond the scope of your imagination didn't i don't tell me how you create
01:10:57it tell me how to destroy it i don't know that i want to but doctor you're not free to do as you
01:11:03wish five people have died as a result of that thing you're quite right but just give me one hour to
01:11:11think about it it's a decision that's not easy to make
01:11:17i have no other choice thank you i'll meet you here and doctor stay with lois she'll need you
01:11:33so
01:11:39so
01:11:43so
01:12:17I know Dad's in some kind of trouble and needs me. I know it.
01:12:23But your father asked you to wait here.
01:12:25I can't. We've got to find him. Do you know where he might be?
01:12:30Well, he possibly could have gone to the lab.
01:12:34Then I'm going there.
01:12:35Now, wait a minute.
01:12:37Do I have to go alone or are you coming with me?
01:12:40Perhaps you're right.
01:12:42You can't do any good here just waiting. Let's go.
01:12:47Let's go.
01:13:17Let's go.
01:13:21Let's go.
01:13:22Let's go.
01:13:28Ted, what happened? That ship had just exploded.
01:13:49Lois, I've got to find your father.
01:13:51You can't mean that Dad had anything to do with this.
01:13:54I haven't got time to talk.
01:13:56Ted!
01:13:56Don't, Mr.
01:13:57Don't tell me about you.
01:14:00I haven't got time to leave.
01:14:13Don't tell me about you.
01:14:18Don't tell me.
01:14:18Don't tell me about you.
01:14:20Professor King!
01:14:33Professor King!
01:14:38Professor King!
01:14:43Professor King!
01:14:44Professor King!
01:14:49You may come in and clean up now, Andy.
01:14:51It's about time!
01:15:01What in the world is that?
01:15:05Do you mean to say that's one of God's creatures, Professor?
01:15:09No, Andy, that's one of man's follies and I pray God there'll never be another one.
01:15:14Good-bye, Andy.
01:15:24Good-bye, Andy.
01:15:27On your feet!
01:15:29Figured you'd show up here sooner or later.
01:15:30What do you want to be?
01:15:31Just a confession to Ethel Hall's murder.
01:15:32We found a spear gun in your car.
01:15:36Holistic tests and fingerprints pretty well tie you into it, mister.
01:15:39You weren't very clever about it.
01:15:40Neither was your girlfriend, Wanda.
01:15:41No, I guess I wasn't.
01:15:42I should have learned more of my teacher.
01:15:43He killed in wholesale lots.
01:15:44What are you talking about?
01:15:45Professor King!
01:15:46He planted that thing out in the ocean.
01:15:47What's he mean, Bill?
01:15:48I think I know.
01:15:49Can you handle him yourself, Sheriff?
01:15:50Can you handle him yourself, Sheriff?
01:15:51Sure, I will.
01:15:52I'll tell you.
01:15:53I'll tell you.
01:15:54I'll tell you.
01:15:55I'll tell you.
01:15:56You weren't very clever about it.
01:15:57Neither was your girlfriend, Wanda.
01:15:58No, I guess I wasn't.
01:15:59I should have learned more of my teacher.
01:16:00He killed in wholesale lots.
01:16:04What are you talking about?
01:16:05Professor King!
01:16:06He planted that thing out in the ocean.
01:16:09What's he mean, Bill?
01:16:11I think I know.
01:16:12Can you handle him yourself, Sheriff?
01:16:22What happened?
01:16:23Where's Dad?
01:16:24He left a few minutes ago, Miss King.
01:16:26Did he say where he was going?
01:16:28No.
01:16:29He just busted up the place and left in a hurry.
01:16:31But why destroy all this?
01:16:34His experiments is life's work.
01:16:36I'm afraid only your father can explain that.
01:16:38But I still don't understand.
01:16:41Do you know why he did this?
01:16:43I think I do.
01:16:45What a mess.
01:16:47King?
01:16:48Yeah, I left a few minutes ago.
01:16:49Probably headed for the beach.
01:16:50We're on our way there now.
01:16:51Let's take my car.
01:16:52Come on, we can hurry.
01:17:01Where he can go.
01:17:06No!
01:17:07Go!
01:17:11My next gal is based.
01:17:14In fact it's going to leave.
01:17:15No!
01:17:17John?
01:17:19Yes, sir.
01:17:21No!
01:17:22For the intended time this program is before you settle for a moment.
01:19:30Nature has many secrets that man mustn't disturb.
01:19:34This was one of them.
01:19:37I know.
01:19:38Only he, too, could have understood.
01:19:49I'm sure he does, Lois.
01:19:52That's why he took his secret with him.
01:19:53I know.
01:19:55I know.
