Line 40:
Back aboard the submarine, Jones is worried because he recognized an American [[B-29]] bomber (a Soviet-built [[Tupolev Tu-4]] copy in U.S. markings) sitting on an airstrip. Needing more information, they trick it out of Ho-Sin by putting the ship's cook Chin Lee (Wong Artarne), dressed in a Chinese uniform and beaten by Jones at Chin Lee's insistence, into the same room. Fooled, the captive reveals that the plane is going to drop an atomic bomb on either [[Korea]] or [[Manchuria]] the next day, with the blame placed on the United States, but Chin Lee slips up and Ho-Sin beats him to death before Jones can intervene.
 
Jones decides to go ashore and watch for the bomber's takeoff. When he signals, the submarine will surface and try to shoot it down. However, Montel sneaks onto the island in his place. When Jones scolds Denise for not stopping the old man, she tearfully reveals that Montel is her father. The subsubmarine surfaces and opens fire on the low flying bomber with every weapon aboard. The wounded bomber turns back and crashes, detonating the atomic bomb and obliterating the island. In [[voice-over]] Montel's previous observation echos over the rising [[mushroom cloud]]: "Each man has his own reason for living and his own price for dying".
