There is your answer. Do with them what you will.
So you're just a little man after all, Doctor, like all the rest. You disappoint me.
You disappoint me, Professor. I didn't think a man of science needed a backing of thugs.
Never care, Doctor. Your life is in a balance.
What do you mean you haven't told your own people what's in store for them?
Are you afraid, Zaroff?
I have made a mistake. If I had not interfered with the temple sacrifice,
the sharks would have torn you apart. But it's not too late. I'll return you to Lowland
and tell him I need you no longer. And he can have that stupid priest as make-weight.
No. You've no quarrel with Ramo. I persuaded him to help me. I'm the one to blame.
That is not true. I have always distrusted you, Zaroff.
Take them away! The curse of Ando be on you.
Goodbye, Doctor. Have a pleasant journey.
Let's not say goodbye, Professor. We'll be seeing each other again.
Not in this world, Doctor. As always, there is nothing to worry about.
And there is no truth in this man's arguments.
The man is a fool. Have I not sworn to you that Atlantis shall rise again from the sea?
Haven't I? Haven't I? What are you staring at?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
What happens now? First the supplication, then...
Accept, O powerful and mighty Ando, these your sacrifices.
I'm sorry I got you into this, Ramo. We all have to die sometime, Doctor.
If it is the will of Ando, it is inevitable.
This is the voice of Ando. Hear me.
Bow down your heads that Ando may accept your sacrifice. Bow.
Let Ando give you an eye to witness this awful moment.
I know that voice.
Ramo, don't be afraid. Get up and follow me. Come on.
He who looks on the living face of Ando shall die.
A miracle! A great and powerful miracle! Ando has eaten up her victims!
Unbelievable! All these years and I never guessed Ando's secret.
Oh, I thought I recognized the voice. How on earth did you manage it?
This is linked to the back of Ando's mouth. It's a bit old, but it works.
It was the sweetest sound I've ever heard him in life.
Thanks, darling.
Yeah, well, keep your voices down now or they'll hear us.
No, they won't. I've got the fan hole in.
So Ando was made to trick her worshipers. Ben, how did you find this place?
Oh, we found it by chance. A tunnel in the mines leads straight here.
Jamie! Doctor! That's Sean. That's Jackal.
So I tell you, it's complete. Everything will be ready in two days from now.
To think that after so long, the great day is at hand.
We shall surprise the whole of mankind. Yes, a very great surprise.
Perhaps the greatest ever. I shall order special prayers today.
Why not? It will keep the people happy.
Let me in! What is the meaning of this, Exalted Lowland?
A miracle, Mighty Thaos, before our very eyes.
Tell us.
Mighty Ando, goddess of land and sea, has accepted the sacrifice of the priest and the little doctor.
Indeed? What a miracle.
They vanished into air before they could be beheaded.
No, they disappeared, you say? How?
They were in our midst, we bowed our heads in prayer, and we looked again, they'd gone.
You lie, priest. You allowed them to escape, no?
You discredit the mystic power of Ando?
I believe what I see with my own eyes.
The truth, Lowland.
I tell you, the voice of Ando spoke to us. The little doctor no longer lives.
You're certain?
By the spirit of Ando, by the all-beating heart of living Atlantis.
Perhaps he is right. It is a miracle.
You may go.
Yes, go. And pray to Ando that you are right.
May the wrath of Ando engulf you.
I'll take my chance. Get out.
Is it wise to sow seeds of doubts by discrediting a miracle just now?
Yes. If the doctor is at large, he can be an even bigger danger.
We must search the whole of Atlantis for him.
But Lowland has said...
Maybe Lowland can raise Atlantis again from the sea with his prayers.
Give your orders, Zaroff. It shall be as you wish.
Now you are talking sense again.
The point is, where do we go from here?
Yeah, where?
Right, tell us, doctor.
Our course is plain. We must attack Zaroff.
He has gone mad and he's bent on destroying the whole world.
With only a short while in which to stop him.
Well, just tell us what to do.
Food.
You're hungry, doctor.
Hungry.
I'm hungry.
Oh, no. I mean that Zaroff and his people cannot exist without food.
There is always plenty of food for everyone.
The sea is all round us. The supplies are unlimited.
Yes, but who provides it?
The fish people do.
The fish people. Exactly. And why?
Because they are slaves.
But slaves, like worms, can be made to turn.
Right. So if you organize the fish people to cut off the supplies...
Yes, but that's no good. Then they'll just go and live off their stocks.
Tell them, Ramo.
We have no stocks of food.
Exactly. Zaroff has not yet found the answer to his great problem.
All his seafood goes bad in a few hours and has to be thrown away.
That's true.
And so...
I get it. We get the fish people to go on strike.
Oh, you're a dreaming man.
Now, hold on a minute. We could try, right, enough.
Yes, but what would that do for us?
What would it do for us?
I don't know, really, but it's a start.
Do you think you can do it?
Well, we'll have a go, doctor, but it'll take a great gift of the gab to win over the fish people, you know.
But you are Irish.
Well, come on, knocking boy. Tell me, how can we contact you?
We'll make this place our headquarters. If nobody's here, just leave a message.
Good luck.
Oh, we'll need it.
What are we going to do?
Kidnap Professor Zoroff.
Are you all right?
I'm super. Look at what I've got.
You look splendid.
Better than you do. You'll find a better disguise than that.
What's wrong with it?
You look like a sailor.
That's what I'm supposed to be.
Lovely feet, yes?
Salt water.
What do you expect? This is Atlantis.
You know what to do.
I think so.
Wait a minute.
I know something's gone wrong.
Where's Zoroff?
He's asking.
Please.
Dear Nola, we need your help.
Oh, God.
Have you seen any strangers about, old woman?
Everyone's a stranger these days.
Why don't they stay away and leave us in peace?
What have you got here?
How shall I sell my carpets if you stick holes in them?
Don't waste time, girl. Get away while you're safe.
Zoroff's on his way, close behind us.
Hey, you see anyone come through the marketplace?
A man?
Yes.
About five foot nine.
That's right.
Black coat, baggy trousers, bow tie.
Exactly.
No, as a matter of fact, I haven't.
He's gone. We better get in position.
Right.
Where's that man who asked me in the morning ago?
What man, sir?
Answer me, girl.
I don't know.
Guard, search over there.
Sir, you two come with me.
Zoroff!
There he is!
Stop him!
There he is!
Get him!
Get up there!
Come on, pull him up!
Get him!
That man!
Which way did he go?
Is all well?
Splendid.
He's close behind me.
I hope I haven't set too hot a pace for him.
No.
Here he comes.
He must be here somewhere.
Search the temple.
Yeah.
Who is that with the priest?
The renegade priest himself.
Guards, take him!
Ah, Doctor, at last!
Ah!
Right, right, sit back!
Let go of me!
Doctor, I thought you'd forgotten what you're going to do with him!
You see?
Come on!
Go on, tell them.
Tell them what?
I'll tell them nothing.
They're not people like us.
They're just a bunch of sardines.
You heard me!
Cold-blooded fishes!
You haven't got a drop of good red blood in your bodies.
A flat fisherman Galway would have more guts than them, with that bunch.
You would hurt a little child.
What would they do?
I'll tell them.
All right, all right, all right!
Go calm down and listen.
Listen, will you?
Look.
You supply all the food for Atlantis, right?
It can't be stored, right?
It goes rotten in a couple of hours.
That's why Zaroff has you working like slaves night and day, right?
Well, has it never occurred to your little fish brains to stop that supply of food?
Feed yourselves, but starve Atlantis, huh?
What do you think would happen then?
Well, now is your chance.
Will you do it?
Or will you stay fish slaves for the rest of your lives?
You're men, aren't you?
Well, start the blockade right now!
You reckon they will do it?
Who knows?
We can only hope for the best.
I have underrated you, doctor.
I hardly imagined you would have the nerve to kidnap Zaroff himself.
What's so funny?
Hey, what?
I don't see what you've got to laugh at.
Dear lady, if you wish to stop my plans, you are all too late.
Too late?
The process has started.
My nuclear reactor is activated.
And when the desired figure is reached, fission will take place.
And none of all this will matter for any of us.
He's only bluffing.
Nothing can start without him.
Ah, doctor, how do you know that?
Simple.
The great Zaroff would have to be there to set off the explosion.
Miss your big moment?
I think not.
You cannot hold me!
My guards will...
We'll never find you, not inside the temple you have defiled, Zaroff.
You're fools!
Idiots!
I'm right there, the lot of you!
If I...
You keep...
Doctor!
Oh, it's a boost.
What's the matter with him?
He's on attack.
That's stopped him.
The project won't be able to go ahead now, will it?
I don't know.
We'd better make sure.
But what would you do?
Get inside that laboratory.
Then I'm coming with you.
Yeah, me too.
No, somebody's got to stay here to look after Zaroff.
I'll stay.
You can't bathe here by yourself.
I'll stay with her.
Very well, come along, quickly.
Right.
Take care.
Yeah.
Not enough service.
This is like they should take some time.
Could we not just slip out?
Fiddler, duck down here.
Doesn't seem possible, does it?
What?
Well, look at him.
He doesn't look very menacing now, does he?
There is still evil in this man.
It hangs over him like a shroud.
You will pay dearly for your crimes, Zaroff.
I know, I know.
But before I die, priest,
you must help me to pray to your God for atonement.
Why should I help you?
Have pity on me.
At least help me to stand at your side
so I may feel the aura of your goodness.
I think you should.
He does look very ill.
It's more than you deserve, Zaroff.
But for the blessing of Ando,
I will grant you this last request.
No, my big priest.
This is the end of you.
Don't stop it.
You will come with me.
I'm beautiful.
They've taken that one.
Let's get started.
Yeah, quick.
Just a minute, I've had a thought.
What?
Jamie, you'd better watch Zaroff.
Why?
Well, we need a guide.
And only rabbi knows all the passages.
Oh, if you say so, doctor.
Doctor!
No!
Is he?
Yes.
And Zaroff was having us on.
Polly's gone.
Zaroff's taken her to the hospital.
Let's go!
No, Ben!
Jamie, you go after Polly.
Only watch out.
Zaroff's a desperate man.
Right.
Ben, you and I have other fish to fry.
Come on.
Wait, I can't go on anymore.
You will go on if I have to drag you.
Wait.
Did you hear anything?
No, nothing.
Come on.
You want the same treatment as the priest?
Come.
Wait!
Come back, I want you!
Go back!
Ah!
He's away!
Jamie, quickly, we've got to go and warn the doctor.
Aye, the doctor's going to find a heap of trouble if Zaroff gets back there fast.
How do we find the laboratory?
Ara, she's the only one we know who knows the way.
Now, you go back to the temple and we'll go and find her.
Slaves are in revolt.
They've cut off all food supplies.
I cannot understand it.
Why do they act like this when the hour of triumph is at hand?
They are just slaves.
What can you expect?
Where is Zaroff?
He should be here to attend to this.
Disappeared.
Disappeared?
He can't have...
Go and look for him.
There is no time, Excellency.
You must take control now.
So be it.
I cannot let my people starve.
Bring them before me that I may hear their demands.
Yes, Great Thous.
I will tell them.
All wise, all seeing Amdo.
Help me now.
Zaroff!
Where have you been?
We've been looking for you.
The workers are in revolt.
My guards will restore order.
They are simple people.
I'm sure they will not...
Those who resist will be killed.
Killed?
I have no time to waste.
Zaroff, you are subject to me in all matters.
I will not have my people.
Your people?
They are my people now.
I hold the whole world in my power.
The doctor was right about you.
I order your project stopped at this moment.
Guards!
Take Zaroff to the temple and hold him there.
You are a fool!
And I'll send you to your beloved goddess Amdo
to discuss the future of the universe with her.
I demand...
You... you demand...
You demand...
Well, since your...
Since your beloved goddess has developed such an
enchanting appetite for people,
it is only fitting that the great Thal should offer himself.
No.
I shall offer him.
Kill those two men.
Nothing in the world can stop me now!
