00:00:05The End
00:00:37The End
00:01:23No death has reared himself a throne
00:01:27In a strange city lying alone far down within the dim west
00:01:33Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
00:01:38Have gone to their eternal rest
00:01:43Resignedly beneath the sky the melancholy waters lie
00:01:46But no, a stir is in the air
00:01:51The wave, there is a movement there
00:01:54As if their tops had given death
00:01:56It is undivided time
00:02:07It's a body, Mr. Harrison, strangely dressed
00:02:09If I can see that, who is it?
00:02:15It is Mr. Penrose
00:02:17The lawyer who's been advising Mr. Gellis
00:02:19Poor devil
00:02:20It's the devil's work right enough
00:02:22Be quiet, you old fool
00:02:23I told you nothing good had come of this
00:02:25An American girl at the manor house, solicitors
00:02:27And this young man with his rock samples
00:02:31And questions about the old mine workings
00:02:33The old bag of wind, he'll hear you
00:02:35He has
00:02:37Now what about the body?
00:02:41Somebody's got to tell Mr. Gellis
00:02:50Mr. Harris, couldn't be you've come to help us about the electricity
00:03:12The lights be gone out with a storm
00:03:14Not like the old days, a candle could be depended upon
00:03:18I've come to see Mr. Gellis
00:03:20You should be here about the lights
00:03:22The guests are grumbling proper
00:03:25Come, come in, I'll take you to her
00:03:52You wait here
00:03:53I'll fetch Mr. Gellis
00:03:56I'll come along with you
00:04:00Mr. Gellis is with one of the guests
00:04:02An artist, he says he is
00:04:06Something strange about him
00:04:07Most that he paints don't look like much
00:04:12He's brought the beasts with him
00:04:14The beast?
00:04:16You'll see
00:04:18It's in there with them
00:04:21Who is it?
00:04:23It's Mumford Mum
00:04:24Mr. Harris is here
00:04:26He insists on seeing you
00:04:28Just a minute
00:04:29I'm not staying
00:04:30Last time I waited, the beast got out
00:04:34I'm opening the door, but come in quickly
00:04:37How nice to see you
00:04:39Her name is Herbert
00:04:41Her name is Herbert
00:04:43Uh, Jill
00:04:45I came to talk to you about Mr. Penrose
00:04:48Oh, Ben, I'm so disappointed
00:04:50I thought maybe this was a social call
00:04:52I mean, we're the only two Americans in the whole village
00:04:55Don't you think we should be friends?
00:04:57Harold!
00:04:58Yes?
00:04:59Uh, Mr. Harris captured Herbert for us
00:05:02Harold?
00:05:02Yes, he's one of our guests
00:05:04He's an artist
00:05:05Would you like to meet him?
00:05:06Oh, yes, I would
00:05:07Yes, very much
00:05:08Well, come on in a minute
00:05:09Close the door
00:05:10Harold!
00:05:11Yes, Jill?
00:05:12This is Mr. Ben Harris
00:05:14How do you do?
00:05:16Oh, how do you do?
00:05:17And this is Mr. Harold Tufnell Jones
00:05:21You're, uh, wondering what I'm doing up here, aren't you?
00:05:24I'm not up here all the time
00:05:25It's just that, uh, Herbert's been giving us a bit of a chase
00:05:27Would you mind helping me down?
00:05:28Uh, would you mind if I talked with Mr. Gillis about her lawyer?
00:05:32Well, I'm sure that can wait till I'm down on Tata Farmer
00:05:35Would you give me a hand?
00:05:36Of course
00:05:37Thank you, sir
00:05:41Jill
00:05:42Uh, about Mr. Penwell
00:05:44I'll take you in to see him in a minute
00:05:46He's been in his study all day
00:05:48How do you do?
00:05:49Thank you very much
00:05:50It's quite all right
00:05:51Please, uh, uh, will you come with me?
00:05:53There's something I'd like to show you
00:05:58Self-portage
00:05:59Do you like it?
00:06:01It's, uh, it's a good likeness
00:06:03If anybody would want such a thing
00:06:05I'm sure someone will be
00:06:07If anyone would want such a thing
00:06:08I signed it myself, look
00:06:10Harold Tufnell Jones, FRA
00:06:14Oh, a fellow of the Royal Academy
00:06:16Not actually
00:06:17Founder of the Roosters Association
00:06:19Very select
00:06:20Ah
00:06:22Uh, you say that Mr. Penrose is in his study
00:06:24Yes, just across the hall
00:06:37Jill, I've just come up from the beach
00:06:39And
00:06:42Somebody's in there
00:06:44What is it?
00:06:46Go back to the other room
00:06:47And wait for me
00:06:47Go on
00:06:48Go on, please
00:07:18Go on
00:07:36Ben, are you all right?
00:07:38Did anyone go out through that door?
00:07:39No
00:07:39Are you sure?
00:07:41I'm positive
00:07:43Well, should anyone have?
00:07:44I don't know
00:07:59Where's Mr. Penrose?
00:08:05I, um
00:08:07I found his body on the beach
00:08:12He's dead
00:08:17We shouldn't leave the body there
00:08:18Uh, what are you afraid of?
00:08:21I don't know one man
00:08:22Who can call me coward
00:08:23And look me in the face
00:08:24There are things no man
00:08:25Should have to see
00:08:26Or hear
00:08:27What things?
00:08:29Ah, he's been hearing
00:08:30Them ghost bells again
00:08:31Yes, I heard them
00:08:32Last night
00:08:33And they were red in the sea
00:08:35Like blood colour
00:08:37Well, I never heard them
00:08:38And I was born here
00:08:39Come on, son
00:08:40Do you really hear those ghost bells?
00:08:43Yes, I heard them
00:08:44Deep down in the sea they were
00:08:45How's some a shipwreck, is it?
00:08:47It's Leoness
00:08:48The lost city in the sea
00:08:49I always thought it was an old wives tale
00:08:51Ah, there's a city there, right enough
00:08:53Thousands of years back
00:08:54The sea just came and swallowed it up
00:08:56And there it lies now
00:08:58Buried in the deep
00:08:59Why does the bell sound?
00:09:01Well, we found Mr. Penrose, didn't we?
00:09:03There have been other bodies, too
00:09:04When the bell sounds
00:09:06It means death
00:09:15There we are
00:09:16That's better
00:09:17Now, there's just this one
00:09:19Now, where are the nails?
00:09:21There's a book missing from the set here
00:09:23Oh, I shouldn't worry about that
00:09:25Things are always disappearing in Trigatia
00:09:27Oh, really?
00:09:28Yeah
00:09:28Do you know the old rector?
00:09:29Vanished about 50 years ago
00:09:31Never been seen since
00:09:32You know something, Harold?
00:09:34You are a mine of fascinating information
00:09:36Now, it's funny you say that
00:09:38Because it is said that he was lost in an old tin mine
00:09:41Funny you mention mines
00:09:42But, um, what's that got to do with the missing book?
00:09:46Oh, the books aren't important
00:09:48But, you see, I did a sketch of Jill
00:09:49And put it between the pages
00:09:51Oh, really?
00:09:52Where are those nails?
00:09:53Well, why would anyone want to steal your sketch of Jill?
00:09:56Well, Ben, modesty prevents me from saying
00:09:58That perhaps he was a man of great taste
00:10:00Who fancied a work of art
00:10:02Well, here they are
00:10:03I wonder
00:10:05Hold that, will you?
00:10:06You know, all these things happening
00:10:07Penrose's death
00:10:08Hmm?
00:10:09And the sketch in the book
00:10:10Disappearing
00:10:11What about them?
00:10:12Well, they're all connected
00:10:13I mean, they have one thing in common
00:10:16Jill
00:10:16You're a great one for mysteries, aren't you?
00:10:18You're just trying to frighten us
00:10:20Isn't he, Herbert?
00:10:22What do you think happened in here?
00:10:24I told you, I saw this thing
00:10:26I don't know what it was
00:10:27It wasn't a human
00:10:29Now, Ben, you're sensible
00:10:30You're intelligent
00:10:32You're a man of the world
00:10:33Savoir-faire
00:10:34Now, let's admit that
00:10:35That anyone in the semi-darkness
00:10:37Could mistake an intruder
00:10:39For something more mysterious
00:10:40Now, that's possible, isn't it?
00:10:42Now, listen
00:10:42I'm a mining engineer
00:10:43A trained observer
00:10:45I look for the little things
00:10:47That the ordinary eye might pass over
00:10:49Because the slightest clue
00:10:50Could mean a fortune
00:10:51To those who employ me
00:10:52Now, if I say I saw something
00:10:54Or someone
00:10:55That could be superhuman
00:10:59I mean it
00:11:01I'm going to put on
00:11:02A proper pair of trousers
00:11:04With legs on
00:11:06Herbert
00:11:11Thank you for your kindness, Ben
00:11:15What do you want to do now?
00:11:16Stay here in England
00:11:17Or go back to America?
00:11:19I don't know
00:11:20This state isn't settled yet
00:11:22Well, Mr. Penrose was working on it when
00:11:25Try not to think about it
00:11:26I just can't help it
00:11:28Jill, listen to me
00:11:29Now, I tell you
00:11:30You are in danger
00:11:32Now, all I want you to do
00:11:33Is move someplace
00:11:34Where there are more people
00:11:36Well, I'm not running away
00:11:38Oh, you're stubborn
00:11:39Now, what are you doing?
00:11:47I'm just checking
00:11:49You better believe in that way
00:11:50Do you hear?
00:11:55Seaweed
00:11:56There you go again
00:11:58All right, all right
00:11:59I'm imagining things
00:12:01That's what everybody says
00:12:02So I'd better believe it
00:12:04Maybe you should
00:12:11I found Herbert
00:12:12Well, I'm going up to bed now
00:12:13Good night, Jill
00:12:15Good night, Ben
00:12:16And you get some rest now
00:12:17Good night
00:12:18Good night
00:12:21Charming girl
00:12:23Absolutely charming
00:12:24An inspiration to any artist
00:12:27I wonder if anyone would mind
00:12:29If I put my feet up
00:12:30On the sofa for the night
00:12:32Charming
00:12:33Whatever for?
00:12:34To keep an eye on things
00:12:35Very wise
00:12:36You'll pardon me if I turn in
00:12:38I want to get plenty of sleep
00:12:39I'm going to paint an entirely new canvas
00:12:41First thing in the morning
00:12:42A sunset
00:12:43A sunset in the morning?
00:12:45I'm a slow worker
00:12:46Good night, old fellow
00:13:04A sunset in the morning
00:13:04A sunset in the morning
00:13:11A sunset in the morning
00:13:12A sunset in the morning
00:13:12A sunset in the morning
00:13:15A sunset in the morning
00:13:15A sunset in the morning
00:13:15A sunset in the morning
00:13:16A sunset in the morning
00:13:16A sunset in the morning
00:13:16A sunset in the morning
00:13:16A sunset in the morning
00:13:16A sunset in the morning
00:13:17A sunset in the morning
00:13:17A sunset in the morning
00:13:18A sunset in the morning
00:13:18A sunset in the morning
00:13:19A sunset in the morning
00:13:21A sunset in the morning
00:13:25A sunset in the morning
00:14:49Oh, it's you.
00:14:49I do wish you'd stopped playing the giddy goat.
00:14:52You could have hurt me.
00:14:53I might never have painted again.
00:14:55I suppose you've some reason for skulking around behind doors.
00:14:59I'd just caught up with Herbert.
00:15:01He'd escaped again.
00:15:02I had a feeling this sort of thing would happen.
00:15:04Now, whatever it was that was in here before, came back and took Jill.
00:15:06Oh, but how...
00:15:07These old houses are full of sliding passages and secret thingamajigs.
00:15:12Leave this to me.
00:15:13You know what's wanted here?
00:15:14Brain power.
00:15:15Now, if there's a hidden door, there must be a concealed button somewhere.
00:15:19My instinct tells me to press, uh, here.
00:15:27Or there.
00:15:41Ben.
00:15:49You're going in there after her?
00:15:52You are.
00:15:54You're not expecting me to go in there, too, are you?
00:15:56No.
00:16:00Come on.
00:16:02I warn you, Ben.
00:16:03I'm a little bit of a coward.
00:16:09This is the way she was taken.
00:16:13It smells like an overripe cheese.
00:16:17There's a trail of seawater.
00:16:19And quite a lot of seaweed.
00:16:20Marvellous place for a Chinese restaurant.
00:16:31Let's try this way.
00:16:44Come on.
00:16:58Wait here.
00:17:19Ben?
00:17:21Ben?
00:17:23Ben?
00:17:25Ah!
00:17:26Ah!
00:17:28Ah!
00:17:45Look out!
00:17:47No!
00:17:48No!
00:18:28There's a lot to be done.
00:18:28There's a lot to be said for ducks.
00:18:29Water rolls off their backs.
00:18:32They can swim and help a person.
00:18:34Not like some chickens I know.
00:18:38What on earth is this place?
00:18:40I don't know.
00:18:42It looks like some sort of a water gate.
00:18:47Why don't you leave that chicken behind?
00:18:49She'll only get in the way.
00:18:51He doesn't know who's man's best friend, does he, Herbert?
00:19:10It must lead somewhere.
00:19:11Yes, and I've got a nasty feeling.
00:19:13You want to find out where.
00:19:23Don't worry, Herbert.
00:19:24Everything's fine.
00:19:25Look, Ben, if there's going to be an earthquake, let's get off the bridge.
00:19:37I'm not coming here to my summerologist.
00:19:39Let's find out what's up ahead.
00:19:40Look, Ben, just sit here and wait for something pleasant to happen.
00:19:44Watch out!
00:19:53You almost lost your bird.
00:19:57And Herbert thanks you.
00:19:58Don't you, Herbert?
00:19:59He might even lay you an egg.
00:20:16I'm sorry.
00:20:18Where's he coming from?
00:20:23What is it?
00:20:39Well, what about this?
00:20:41What?
00:20:42Down there?
00:20:43It's the only way.
00:20:55We've got to.
00:20:55It's no way.
00:20:56We've got to be careful.
00:20:56Look at those.
00:20:57Nice.
00:20:57You're over.
00:20:58Go!
00:20:59Come on.
00:22:31What on earth have we got ourselves into?
00:22:35Let's see if we can help him.
00:22:50Let's get that chain off him.
00:22:59Get out!
00:23:01Quickly, that way!
00:23:03In a few seconds, this place will be full of water.
00:23:05Go on!
00:23:09There we go, Spen.
00:23:10We can't help him.
00:23:12Go on!
00:23:13What kind of people would do things like this?
00:23:29Let's find Jill.
00:23:30Come on, Spen.
00:23:31Come on!
00:23:35Come on!
00:23:38Oh, my God.
00:24:06Hey, oh.
00:24:16Seismology by J.S. Tilton.
00:24:21Well, that's odd.
00:24:23This hasn't been through the sea. None of it has.
00:24:27And how did they get the oil for the lamps?
00:24:32Here's my sketch of Jill.
00:24:34How did this get here?
00:24:51Where is she? Where is she?
00:24:53Where is she?
00:24:55J.S. Tilton.
00:24:56J.S. Tilton.
00:24:57J.S. Tilton.
00:25:00J.S. Tilton.
00:25:04J.S. Tilton.
00:25:26J.S. Tilton.
00:25:27J.S. Tilton.
00:25:33J.S. Tilton.
00:25:35J.S. Tilton.
00:25:59Well, now we've got that little matter settled, uh, uh, who do we have the, uh, may I, uh, uh,
00:26:07who are you, sir?
00:26:12You'll be the captain.
00:26:14It seems you tried to come down the passages at the wrong time.
00:26:18As it happens, we have a local phenomenon here that creates something of a maelstrom under certain conditions of tide
00:26:26and circumstance.
00:26:26I see. Well, perhaps you'll be kind enough to show us the way out.
00:26:30There is no way out. Not for you. And not for him.
00:26:35Nor for the girl. Is she alive?
00:26:38You will answer the questions, not ask them.
00:26:41No way out? Well, you're not planning to keep us here for good?
00:26:45You're right. We're not.
00:26:48Why can't we go?
00:26:50Because there is an outside chance that you might be of help.
00:26:52Well, I, I'd like to help you. I mean, I'd like you to be of any assistance at any, at
00:26:56any time. I mean, I'm only too pleased.
00:26:58And if we can't help you?
00:27:00Survival down here depends on usefulness.
00:27:03Well, um, in that case, how could we help you?
00:27:11Follow me.
00:27:24Beautiful, isn't it?
00:27:27What, what is it?
00:27:29The city in the sea.
00:27:32Leoness?
00:27:33Perhaps.
00:27:34One name is as good as another.
00:27:38I asked, in what way could we help you?
00:27:42There it is.
00:27:44The volcano.
00:27:47Peak is vitrified sand, which is why it's transparent.
00:27:51But the pressure of molten lava sealed inside of it has been building up steadily, steadily.
00:27:59It was the pull of that monster,
00:28:02the elemental power that is in it that brought you to our doorstep.
00:28:06I remember when it was practically dormant.
00:28:09But over the years, that glow has increased.
00:28:28The shock's too.
00:28:31Always stronger.
00:28:33Yes, the end is coming.
00:28:35Another year, another month, another week.
00:28:38Another week?
00:28:39Yes, perhaps.
00:28:40Perhaps even sooner.
00:28:42Yes, you are looking at the final executioner.
00:28:47Time is running out.
00:28:48Time is running out.
00:28:49The only question now is when.
00:28:55Do you hear those pumps?
00:29:05They were installed by the people who built that city, a great people, so great that when the sea took
00:29:14their land they built those pumps to pipe the heat from the volcano and to provide fresh air and water.
00:29:22And they lived down there, those people, for a while under the sea, in their palaces and towers, and then
00:29:33they died, almost completely, except for the, the, the gill men, the half men, pathetic remnants of a great nation.
00:29:50But they're my people, all the same.
00:29:53Your people?
00:29:54Yes.
00:29:55Yes, this is my world.
00:29:57I am their king.
00:30:00No, more than their king.
00:30:02They believe that I am death.
00:30:05Death looking gigantically down from my tower.
00:30:09And they're right, I am death, because the means of death is in my hands, but I'm also life, for
00:30:15the same reason.
00:30:16Yes, except for the volcano.
00:30:20Yes, except for the volcano.
00:30:25Unless those tremors cease, the pumps will stop, they must.
00:30:31And when the pumps stop, my city will die.
00:30:37And so will my people.
00:30:41Oh, I've done my best, I've racked my brains to think of a way to fight back.
00:30:48Raids up above, they're seeking a solution.
00:30:52We took this many years ago, it's a seismometer, you know, it registers the tremors of the earth, but what
00:30:57has it shown?
00:30:59Only the increasing violence of the volcano growing stronger, day by day, and then we've looked for books.
00:31:07Oh, yes. Like this one. I read it last night from cover to cover.
00:31:12But it's less than useless.
00:31:15But I must save my people.
00:31:18How can you?
00:31:20No.
00:31:21We've heard of the strides that science made in this century.
00:31:26What do you mean, science in this century?
00:31:29Look, how long have you been here?
00:31:31I will ask the questions.
00:31:34And I cannot accept defeat.
00:31:38No man has a right to.
00:31:42Look.
00:31:48Those are my people.
00:31:51It's a hunting party, which my men are directing.
00:31:56These creatures, they help us to obtain food.
00:32:01Needless to say, our stipend down here is fish.
00:32:06Do you know how many years it has been since I have eaten beef?
00:32:12Or chicken?
00:32:16Chicken.
00:32:16Chicken?
00:32:42Chicken.
00:32:45Chicken.
00:32:46Chicken.
00:32:50What about Penrose? We found his body.
00:32:53Oh, I gave him a chance. I don't know why. Perhaps because I liked him.
00:32:57But he was of no use. So I sent him out.
00:33:00With one of those diving suits. And I gave him a head start.
00:33:10Yes, he even got as far as the golden shrine, but no further.
00:33:16Because your men killed him.
00:33:18I said he had his chance.
00:33:19So do you have a chance. You say this is the end?
00:33:23Why do you stay? There's a way out of here and you know where it is.
00:33:26So why don't you get out now while you can?
00:33:28No.
00:33:28Why not?
00:33:29You'll learn the answer to that question if you live long enough.
00:33:33I see. Well, to get back to the question of finding a way...
00:33:37Who are you?
00:33:38My name is Harold Tuttle Jones. I'm an artist.
00:33:43And this is what?
00:33:45Chicken.
00:33:46You don't know how lucky you are. This is Benjamin Harris.
00:33:50Professor Benjamin Harris.
00:33:52Professor.
00:33:53Yes. He's a fellow of the Royal Society.
00:33:56He holds both the North of England and the South of England golden awards for technological achievements.
00:34:02He's an MA, BA, FS, CG, LMS, LNER.
00:34:08He's got more letters after his name. Anybody think it was the alphabet.
00:34:12And what he doesn't know about earthquakes and seismonology and technological achievements is absolutely not worth knowing.
00:34:20Of course it's true.
00:34:21Of course it's true.
00:34:22This fellow, J.S. Tilton, he's an amateur.
00:34:24My friend, Ben, he's the expert. The expert, aren't you?
00:34:28Can you save my city?
00:34:31From the volcano?
00:34:33Yes. Can you stop it, tame it, kill it?
00:34:36Well, this is a matter of consideration and consideration takes time, doesn't it?
00:34:40There is no time.
00:34:42No time.
00:34:42Captain.
00:34:48This is our tidemeter.
00:34:50The tide will turn when the water level drops to zero.
00:34:56You have exactly three hours, Professor.
00:35:00Make the most of your time.
00:35:13Don't leave it.
00:35:14I did that drawing. It's not perhaps one of my best. Would you say? A little too realistic, perhaps?
00:35:20You're an indifferent artist, sir. A young lady is much more beautiful than this.
00:35:26Then she is alive and she's here.
00:35:27Yes, and you are alive too. Try to remain so.
00:35:30Where is she?
00:35:32Simon?
00:35:34Take these men to the grotto chamber.
00:35:37It will do you no good to question Simon.
00:35:40His tongue was cut out 60 years ago.
00:35:4460 years.
00:35:47Take them.
00:35:5060 years.
00:35:59Take them.
00:36:02close up.
00:36:07Is there any picture present in his screen?
00:36:11Oh.
00:36:12That's a good point.
00:36:14Let me know.
00:36:15Thank you, Lord.
00:36:16Yes, of course.
00:36:19With you.
00:36:26Crossbow.
00:36:27Who's that whispers?
00:36:28Um.
00:36:34are you as crazy as the captain what do i know about volcanoes that's interesting could be
00:36:40babylonian well herbert we've had a busy day haven't we not that we've accomplished much
00:36:46harold what do i know about volcanoes about as much as the captain which is nothing at all i'm
00:36:52beginning to think you talk too much if i stop talking we're dead you want me to stop all right
00:36:57i'm sorry for 60 years a tongue cut out 60 years ago and yet i'd swear the man's in his
00:37:03early 30s
00:37:04which suggests that the captain is lying i don't know but where do they get those diving suits and
00:37:09those little silly crossbows pretty ancient aren't they might have been used by rip van winkle well
00:37:15quite obviously they haven't been sleeping the poems of edgar allen poe this is the english first edition
00:37:25published in 1847 must be worth a fortune
00:37:34no rays from the holy heaven come down on the long night time of that town
00:37:41for light from out the lurid sea streams up the turret silently gleams up the pinnacles far and free
00:37:49up domes up spires up kingly halls up thanes up babylon like walls up shadowy long forgotten
00:38:00bowels up sculptured ivy and stone flowers up many and many a marvelous shrine whose wreathed freezes
00:38:10intertwine the vile the violet and divine so blend the turrets and shadows there that all seem
00:38:20pendulous in air while from a proud tower in the town death looks gigantically down the waves have now a
00:38:33red or glow the hours are breathing faint and low and when amid no earthly moans down down that town
00:38:42shall settle hence hell rising from a thousand thrones shall do it reverence
00:38:50the end the volcano hell itself the uh the poem's a coincidence and a gruesome one
00:39:01we've got to get out of here now there must be a way it could be one of those passages
00:39:06yes very
00:39:06possibly it'd be a pity to leave here without some sort of memento or nothing valuable just a little
00:39:12something all we'll take is jill but we've got to find her aye and you can no problem about that
00:39:20you you mean we're free there's birds in a cage because you'll never find your way up there unless

00:40:33excise men i couldn't keep their big noses out of it they moved in one night
00:40:38we all escaped i'll put 20 of us with the captain down the passages we went we knew them all
00:40:46down into the sea we come and we found the city and we've been here ever since
00:40:52this ever since when oh that was uh summer of 1803
00:41:00you must be mad who wouldn't be after a hundred years of this
00:41:04a hundred years you don't believe me eh
00:41:18see for yourselves this book belonged to his wife the captain's wife have a look
00:41:27that'd be the captain's name hugh hugh sir hugh if you want the facts sir hugh yes he were a
00:41:33knight of
00:41:33the realm and that be the captain's handwriting writ with a quill pen see how the ink's all faded with
00:41:40age well how can you prove that it is the captain's writing i'll tell you how sir you see it's
00:41:46the same
00:41:46letter o the same e and the same t and that's no more than eight years old
00:41:57there's the pen he used that time a fountain pen i bought down here by some gent who said the
00:42:03likes
00:42:03of that had only just been invented well the captain ripped those words with it and he wrote those back
00:42:09in 1799 well sir is it a bargain i can take you to the woman and i can take you
00:42:17to trugathion but do
00:42:18i get my pardon up there there'll be no pardon for you not anywhere i knew you'd do this dan
00:42:26no captain i i was only telling them about us about us did they believe you a hundred years old
00:42:33rather more as it happens it is hard to accept is it not you need our help well i'd say
00:42:39the world needs
00:42:40yours you found a way to live forever it is a secret that we cannot pass on sir now unfortunately
00:42:48it is only a local phenomenon i still can't believe it you wouldn't we didn't believe it ourselves
00:42:56not for the first 10 or 20 years then we began to find out that none of us was growing
00:43:03any older
00:43:04so we finally decided that it was a quality of the air due to an imbalance of oxygen brought on
00:43:13by the
00:43:13presence of the volcano did you tell them where to find her dan no captain i never did no he
00:43:24didn't
00:43:24he certainly didn't well it won't be necessary i'll take you to her myself after you said goodbye to dan
00:43:32goodbye but i never said where she was captain i never told him look at him he's pathetic isn't
00:43:38he did you really think that you could go up above there dan and live you're a fool or perhaps
00:43:46i should
00:43:46have told you the truth long ago the truth it has to do with actinic rays ultraviolet rays down here
00:43:52under the sea they they become diffused and they can't harm us but but up above up there they would
00:43:59finish us but it ain't true captain i've been up there time and again myself and many others only for
00:44:03short periods and only at night dan in the daylight we would grow old dan so fast that it would
00:44:10be
00:44:10like a like a worm shriveling on a hot stone in the sun that's why we're all prisoners of our
00:44:17own hell
00:44:17dan but we're alive yes we are and you might have been if the professor can help us yes that's
00:44:25right
00:44:25that you might have lived forever and ever but perhaps you're lucky take him away no captain no
00:45:01it was the biggest
00:45:25your pumps are still working yes but for how long
00:45:31it's coming sooner than i thought
00:45:37those poor creatures they're frightened and i said i would take you to the young lady and i will
00:45:46blindfold them now look aren't you carrying this thing a little too far
00:45:51oh well you insist my men will guide you nothing will happen to you yet i don't like the word
00:45:59yet
00:46:21you
00:46:27take off his blindfold
00:46:32jill
00:46:36remove his blindfold too mine remove it thank you
00:46:44we put her to sleep we gave her a sleeping draft
00:46:51it's the bells
00:46:53yes but not the bells that you're thinking of
00:46:57they only sound at the turn of the tide
00:47:00now these are the signal for execution
00:47:03ours no dance
00:47:06you killed him
00:47:07no
00:47:08i simply sent him where he wanted to go
00:47:12up there
00:47:13in the daylight
00:47:18oh jimmy who will be here

00:47:27noisy night for your first visit

00:47:36to be here
00:47:37no no no of course not that was
00:47:39eight years ago at least i think it was eight
00:47:44oh she
00:47:45she's still asleep
00:47:48she's pretty
00:47:50very pretty
00:47:52nice girl by the look of her
00:47:54oh
00:47:56oh now
00:47:57let me introduce myself
00:48:00my name is ives
00:48:04ives
00:48:06the reverend
00:48:07jonathan ives
00:48:09i was
00:48:10rector of trevathy in the village you know
00:48:14nice place
00:48:16nice people
00:48:17where do they say you disappeared 50 years ago
00:48:20hmm
00:48:21what is it as long as that
00:48:25our time flies
00:48:27even down here
00:48:28all right old man you've talked enough
00:48:30these two have seen enough blindfolds
00:48:34if you harm that girl

00:49:08look off their blindfolds
00:49:11come with me
00:49:23then
00:49:25dan and the captain came in this way
00:49:27which means that those stairs must lead to the tower
00:49:30which way did that door lead to
00:49:32what are you up to now
00:49:33we want to escape don't we
00:49:35dan said he'd take us out of here
00:49:36yes but he also said we needed his help to do it
00:49:39of course he'd say that
00:49:40so so there must be a way out of here
00:49:42let's find it
00:49:43well not without jill
00:49:44no no of course she's coming too
00:49:47how can she i don't have the slightest idea where she is
00:49:49yes i have
00:49:50i counted the number of steps we took and the way we turned
00:49:54when we came in this way we took seven steps
00:49:58and turned to the to the rock to the right
00:50:00so that when we go back we we take seven steps and we turn to the to the left
00:50:05and then if we take 60 paces there are the stairs
00:50:09that's the top of what are we waiting for
00:50:14one two
00:50:17that can't be right now wait a minute i'll get it
00:50:22three four five six seven
00:50:27did i say right or left left right follow me then
00:50:51Beatrice.
00:50:54Never leave me again.
00:50:59You've come back to your husband after all these years.
00:51:05Never leave me again.
00:51:10Not while I live.
00:51:147, 8, 59, 60.
00:51:21Jill, we're gonna get you out of here. We're gonna try.
00:51:24How did you get here at all?
00:51:26We'll tell you later, but first, do you remember the way they brought you down here?
00:51:29It was dark, and I was struggling so much.
00:51:34There were passages, and there was a cave, I think.
00:51:41And then I must have fainted. It was the last thing I remembered.
00:51:47There was a man, and the way he stared at me...
00:51:53Then you didn't come down through the sea.
00:51:55Jill.
00:51:56No.
00:51:58Then there is a dry land route.
00:52:01Would you know the way?
00:52:03The way out you mean?
00:52:05Oh, yes, there is a way, except my...
00:52:08My memory isn't quite what it used to be.
00:52:11Things seem to... seem to elude me.
00:52:15Please try to remember.
00:52:16I remember.
00:52:18Presently.
00:52:20I remember.
00:52:21I've noticed things seem to come and go.
00:52:26Oh, and did you... did you know they killed Dad?
00:52:30His mind wanders.
00:52:31Sometimes he knows what he's saying, but most of the time...
00:52:34What's behind the altar?
00:52:35It's just another room. You told me it's a dead end.
00:52:38Then we'll take the other passage. I'll go first.
00:52:40What about Mr. Ives?
00:52:42Mr. Ives.
00:52:42Would you like to come too?
00:52:44Perhaps you'll remember if you come as well.
00:52:49No, thank you, sir. No.
00:52:51It's such a noisy night.
00:52:53I prefer to take my ease.
00:52:58Poor Dan.
00:53:01He was so good.
00:53:04There's some good in everybody, don't you think?
00:53:11Anyway, that's always been the precept on which I've built my life.
00:53:20My... really... long life.
00:53:28This one, the right one.
00:53:58It's quite a maze, isn't it?
00:54:00I should have warned you that those passages were a waste of time.
00:54:04So you found the young lady, hmm?
00:54:09One of you is brighter than I'd thought.
00:54:12That's me.
00:54:14And in that case, you're entitled to your reward.
00:54:18It's a pity, however, that the professor must suffer too.
00:54:24Suffer?
00:54:26Simon.
00:54:38That's your execution bell.
00:54:40Yes, sir. But it has other uses as well.
00:54:43What are you going to do about us?
00:54:45They will make that decision.
00:54:49Death?
00:54:49Of course.
00:54:51But we're expected to follow an established ritual.
00:54:55Don't ask me how old it is.
00:54:57They've been asking for a sacrifice for the volcano.
00:55:02Now they can have it.
00:55:05What, him?
00:55:07You.
00:55:08You.
00:55:09But that's idiocy.
00:55:11Killing us won't stop the volcano.
00:55:13I know that.
00:55:15But they don't.
00:55:17If a sacrifice will make them a little happier for what little time is left.
00:55:38You.
00:55:43Listen to your pumps.
00:55:46The sound's different.
00:55:49Yes.
00:55:51Yes, I'm afraid you're right.
00:55:56But that doesn't alter your situation.
00:56:11They have decided.
00:56:14You will be sent out.
00:56:17Just before the turn of the tide.
00:56:19Why wait for the tide?
00:56:22We're not murderers, sir.
00:56:25You will be given your chance.
00:56:27You will be given diving suits and a head start.
00:56:30Just as Penrose was.
00:56:32A lot of good it did him.
00:56:33Yes, I agree.
00:56:35And I doubt if it will help you very much either.
00:56:38But what chance did you give Dan?
00:56:40Dan was a traitor.
00:56:42Your only crime was curiosity.
00:56:45How will a head start help us?
00:56:47Will she be sent out with us too?
00:56:50No.
00:56:53Take her back.
00:56:56Oh, and by the way.
00:56:59Do not attempt to get to her again.
00:57:02From now on those passages will be guarded.
00:57:06All right, Simon?
00:57:25Simon's still out there, of course.
00:57:31What the?
00:57:32Be quiet.
00:57:33Everything above a whisper can be heard.
00:57:35What, in here?
00:57:35Yes, here, he told me.
00:57:37He's all right now.
00:57:38He knows what he's saying.
00:57:39Yeah, I do indeed.
00:57:40You must have heard them whispering.
00:57:41Do you think they can't hear you?
00:57:42How?
00:57:43They have some sort of, uh, listening tubes.
00:57:45So whisper.
00:57:46How did you get here?
00:57:47There's a guard out there.
00:57:50There was a guard.
00:57:52You, uh, you remember the way, the way they brought Jill down here?
00:57:56Yes, of course I do.
00:57:57But there's no use now.
00:57:58That route is only clear of sea water for a few minutes every day.
00:58:02You have to wait 18 hours.
00:58:0418 hours?
00:58:05Your only chance of escape is at the turn of the tide.
00:58:07But they're sending us out any minute.
00:58:09So the young lady told me.
00:58:10Out there?
00:58:11You'll have to.
00:58:12Because you won't stand a chance once the guards are on your trail.
00:58:15You mean you want us to go now?
00:58:17You must reach the Golden Shrine at the turn of the tide.
00:58:20It's nearly half a mile away.
00:58:21A cave under the cliff just to the right of the volcano.
00:58:24Yes, but how do we get there?
00:58:25There's some diving suits in the Watergate chamber.
00:58:27That must be the way you came in.
00:58:29Oh, he's right.
00:58:29We did.
00:58:30It's dangerous, I know.
00:58:31But if you stay here, you'll die anyway.
00:58:33So what can you lose?
00:58:36Right.
00:58:38So, you'll go down to the Watergate chamber, the three of you.
00:58:42You'll put on the diving suits.
00:58:43They're clumsy and difficult to handle.
00:58:46But you'll soon get used to them.
00:58:47And the lock gate control winch is on the right.
00:58:50It's rusting, but it works.
00:58:52But once you're on the sea, the glare from the volcano will guide you.
00:58:56Now follow the glare till you're past the crater.
00:58:58And the shrine is above water level at the turn of the tide.
00:59:01And there's a pathway that leads up to Tregathion.
00:59:03Well, if the volcano isn't active now, then how can it guide us?
00:59:07Well, that's just something you'll have to accept.
00:59:09But what about the guards on the way down to the Watergate?
00:59:11There'll be no guards once the alarm sounds.
00:59:14Alarm?
00:59:14The execution gong.
00:59:15It's also the alarm signal.
00:59:17Once the alarm sounds, any guards that are on the stairway will come rushing down the passage
00:59:21to make sure that you're here.
00:59:22But you'll fool them by going up to the tower room and going down the stairway from there.
00:59:26And nobody will hear you.
00:59:27Not above the sound of the gong.
00:59:29But who'll be in the tower room?
00:59:30Only me, sounding the alarm.
00:59:32The captain will have gone to his room.
00:59:35All right.
00:59:36Well, now I'm going up to the tower.
00:59:38Now remember, once you hear the gong, join me immediately.
00:59:43Can't you come with us?
00:59:45No, I'm...
00:59:47I'm too old and too...
00:59:50too tired.
00:59:52Well, there is one point.
00:59:56There's no need for you to take a chance.
00:59:58Because I happen to know why you were brought here.
01:00:01It was because of a sketch found in a stolen book.
01:00:05I was with the captain when he came upon it.
01:00:07I've never seen a man so...
01:00:10so moved.
01:00:11He...
01:00:13He ordered them to bring you down here.
01:00:15He was like a man possessed.
01:00:16But you can stay.
01:00:17Nobody is going to hurt you.
01:00:23Good luck to you.
01:00:25Give me two minutes.
01:00:31Oh, boy.
01:00:32I'm really sorry.
01:00:33All right.
01:00:39Don't worry, Herbert.
01:00:40I'll get you home in time for tea.
01:01:06Come on.
01:01:11Come on.
01:01:14Now, quick.
01:01:15On your way.
01:01:19Who is that?
01:01:20Now, come along.
01:01:20Hurry, please.
01:01:22That's a picture of me.
01:01:23No, no, no.
01:01:24That portrait's over a hundred years old.
01:01:25Now, go.
01:01:26It's me.
01:01:27Jill!
01:01:28Go, I said.
01:01:29The tide won't wait for you.
01:01:30He's right.
01:01:30We've got to get out.
01:01:31Stand.
01:01:32Come on.
01:01:33How are you doing?
01:01:49Well, it's...
01:01:50Try or die.
01:01:59Are those men there?
01:02:00They're gone, Captain.
01:02:13They mustn't escape.
01:02:15They must not escape.
01:02:18If we get into the sea, which way do we turn?
01:02:21There's no light from the volcano.
01:02:22Put on your helmets.
01:02:23It'll show through.
01:02:26Keep your eyes on me and stay close.
01:02:28Keep your eyes on me and stay close.
01:02:50Keep your eyes on me and stay close.
01:02:50Where is she?
01:02:51Where is she?
01:02:52Where are those men?
01:02:53A woman.
01:02:54Pleasant enough person.
01:02:56I've found her.
01:02:57Where is she?
01:02:57Where is she?
01:02:58You told her how to escape.
01:02:59It was only fair.
01:03:01It was only fair.
01:03:02It was only fair.
01:03:03You men.
01:03:03You men.
01:03:04Go ahead of me.
01:03:05Find them.
01:03:06Follow them.
01:03:07I want you to take care of.
01:03:23You carried my labsy through a Erfolgal فقط.
01:03:28Ah!
01:03:29A volte in the cave.
01:03:31Let her go.
01:03:32Let her into her
01:03:35a house of escape.
01:03:42You men, quickly, arm yourselves with those crossbows.
