[Narrator]
Shortly before
the start of Word War II,

the German High Command
began a secret investigation

into the powers
of the supernatural.

Ancient legend told
of a race of warriors

who used neither weapons
nor shields

and whose superhuman power
came from within
the earth itself.

As Germany prepared for war,

the SS secretly enlisted
a group of scientists

to create
an invincible soldier.

It is known that the bodies
of soldiers killed in battle

were returned
to a secret laboratory
near Coblenz,

where they were used
in a variety of
scientific experiments.

It was rumored that,
toward the end of the war,

Allied forces met German squads
that fought without weapons,

killing only with
their bare hands.

No one knows who they were
or what became of them,

but one thing is certain,

of all the SS units,

there was only one
that the Allies never captured
a single member of.

[Rose] I don't know how long
that dinghy floated around
with me lying in it.

All I can remember
is the sound of the water
slapping against the side.

Then I heard the engine sound
getting closer.

That was when I realized
I was still alive.

Get yourself down in there
and help me get her out.

Hey, hey, don't do that.

He's trying to help you!

[Rose]
I couldn't understand
what they wanted.

It didn't occur to me
I was being rescued.

It's okay, it's okay,
we don't mean no hurt to you.

Jonathan,
fetch some water here.

What you doin' way out here
in that there boat,
little lady?

Here, some cool liquid for you,
make you feel right.

You gonna tell us now
what you doing out here?

[Rose]
I wish I could've told him.

But it's only now
that I remember
any of it at all.

what we must have on this boat
is accurate navigation.

A sailor's best friend.

It's the way he makes his way

[waves gently lapping]

Norman, it's pitch black
out there, what do you
expect to see?

I don't like this one bit.

I hope these people
know what they're doing.

They must know
what they are doing,
they're sailors, aren't they?

So was the crew of the Titanic.

Look Norman,
if you're so worried,

why don't you go upstairs
and help the Captain
steer the boat?

I'm sure he'd be very grateful.

I think I'll do just that.

- Hey, how 'bout a drink?
- No thank you.

I'm going to speak
to the Captain
about this situation.

Oh, relax.

Besides, you won't get
anything out of him,
I already tried.

Well, don't you think
it's a bit unusual?

You people ready
for some dinner?

Can anyone tell us
what's going on out there?

I'm only the galley hand,
I don't know no more
than you do.

- Hey, Dobbs,
how 'bout a drink?
- Don't mind if I do.

Yes, but you're
an experienced seaman,
you-you must've encountered...

No, I...

take it neat,
just the way it is.

You mean to say you've never
seen anything like this?

Can't says I ever have.

Well, aren't you
curious about it?

Sea spits up
what it can't keep down.

[Captain Ben]
We've been holding steady
for half an hour.

Steer one six five
and keep her below eight knots.

Take another reading
in a couple of hours.

You have any idea where we are?

Will when the weather clears.

In the meantime,
keep checking the radio
and keep your eyes peeled.

[eerie music ♪]

By the looks on your faces,
maybe I shouldn't eat this.

Nah, your cook, Dobbs here,
just told us one
hell of a yarn.

Oh?

What was it this time?
Sea monsters or ghost ships?

Well, as a matter of fact,
it was ghost ships.

Up to his old tricks again.

You don't believe
any of these stories
have some truth to them?

Look, Miss,

I could match you
story for story
with logical evidence,

but what does it prove?

Men at sea often have
hallucinations,

they work hard, have eyestrain,
lack of sleep, exhaustion.

Sometimes, they're
just plain stupid.

Why, some say they're
more afraid of water

than little old ladies
are of the dark.

Now just a minute,

you mean to say that
what we all saw out there
is just a mirage?

It was a minor
underwater disturbance.

It was a hot sky
acting on a cold current
coming from a mile down below.

- Dobbs was just saying--
- Oh, if everything
that old fart said came true,

both he and me would be
in the deep six by now.

Given the condition
of this boat, I wonder
that hasn't happened already.

Norman, please.

What's bothering you, Mister?

It seems to me, you're taking
an unnecessary risk
with a boat like this.

What do you mean
"a boat like this?"

I mean, a broken down old tub

that should've been
retired years ago,
along with her captain!

How is it that
a used-car salesman knows
so all fired much about boats?

I know enough to see
that this boat

is not what you people
would call "shipshape."

The accommodations aren't worth
the money at half the price.

I think that you have
a responsibility
to your passengers.

- We should turn around
right now.
- Set back?

For one crankshaft?
No chance.

The first thing you'd want
is a refund of your money,

and I've already spent
your money on her.

No, we're gonna sit
right here, and you...

you people are going to get
your money's worth,
whether you like it or not.

Ladies.

Now I understand
why we're the only passengers.

I think it's time
for us to take matters
into our own hands.

Take over the ship?

I mean nothing of the sort,
there are two other
crew members on board,

they may not be smart,
but they seem to have
their wits about them.

I'll admit he is a bit unusual,

but I think you're
overreacting a bit.
- Overreacting? Am I?

Alright.

I warned you people.

You're inviting trouble
by not taking any action.

I've spoken my mind,
my conscience is clear.

Beverly.

I think I'll stay up
a little longer.

I'll be in the cabin.

Hi.

- You really gave me a scare.
- Sorry.

I guess we're all
a little jumpy tonight.

Do you always steer the boat
with your feet?

You're not very talkative,
are you?

Captain doesn't like us
messing with the passengers.

Do you stay up here every night
by yourself?

Ben was supposed to relieve me,

he needs the rest
more than I do.

So, I've got the whole dogwatch
to myself.

Dogwatch?

It's the middle
of the night watch.

I like it.

I get a chance to be alone.

Can you really tell
where we're going from this?

Sure.

How?

Calculating your
speed, time, and distance.

I don't know.

Running without lights.

I saw it, too.

What happened?

Get back inside.
There's no danger here.

Where's Ben?

I wish I knew.

What do you mean?

Went looking for him
a little while ago.

He wasn't in his cabin,
and he wasn't no place else.

Come up on deck,
and I found these.

Fist off, I figured he was
checking the underside.

Beats me.

Clothes here,
dinghy's still here.

He's too old to go swimming
around these here currents!

Well, the props and shafts
are alright.

She's lying flat on the bottom,

Are we gonna be able
to get out of here alright?

We'll know as soon as the tide

That is not of importance.

Why are you here?

Our boat ran aground
out on the reef.

Where are you?

[Scar]
I am near, but also far.

We can't get her off.
The bottom's filled in.

We saw this place
and came up here.

- [Scar] How many are you?
- Why should we answer you?

[Scar] Because I live here,
and you have entered uninvited.

Look, we didn't mean
to trespass,

it didn't seem like
anyone was here.

We were running at night
and hit that wreck.

We're alone,
we need help.

We don't mean
to cause you any trouble.

[Scar] What do you mean?
There is no wreck.

Sure there is.
It's right out there
on the reef.

Can you help us out?

Are you still there?

I don't like this one bit.
He sounds like a nut.

Ah, this is some old hermit,
probably harmless.

[footsteps approaching]

Perhaps you do need help,
but you cannot get it here.

I have been the sole occupant
of this hotel and this island
for many years now.

You have left others
at the beach?

No, there's only us.

There are no survivors
from the wreck?

No, it's all rusted out.

It must've been there
for years.

It has a name?

Yeah, the Pro... something.

- Protious?
- Might be.

Do you know it?

What about getting off
the island?

I've had enough of this!

If he's gone,

You must excuse the manners

by himself for too many years.

Not having people around,
they have grown rusted

All we want is for you
to tell us how we can
get out of here.

Yes.

Yes, this is a most
unfortunate time
for your visit.

You and your friends
must leave immediately.

Fine with me.
How do we do it?

There is a boat,
a small boat, but it can
get you away from here.

You're only a sail of two days
from the nearest
inhabited island.

If you hurry,
the tide will be favorable.

What's the rush?

It is better if you
do not know that,
but I can tell you this.

There is danger here,
danger in the water.

If you are quick,
you can escape that danger.

On the edge of the grounds
is a path which leads
to a small canal.

There, you will find the boat.

I believe it is still
sea-worthy.

Don't you know?

Most sincerely,
I do not.

It seemed like he was drowned.

Then I am afraid
it is too late.

- Too late for what?

You are, indeed, very stupid.

I gave you a chance

So be it.

Now, it is too late.

- Did you kill Dobbs?
- Yes, I killed him.

And your Captain, too, perhaps,

but not in the way you think.
It was indirect.

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

You're not making any sense.

If you will not be
so impatient,

maybe I will have
the opportunity to tell you.

Well, try and make it fast.

We are not alone
on this island.

So, those other two we saw
are with you?

We Germans developed
the perfect weapon, a soldier.

He was capable of fighting
under any conditions,

adapting to any
environment or climate,

equally at home
in the Russian winter
or on the African desert.

They were the most vicious
and blood thirsty
of all the SS divisions.

The group under my command
was designed for the water,

to man submarines,
which would never
have to surface.

This is nothing
but a lot of double talk.

We created the perfect soldier

from cheap hoodlums and thugs

and a good number
of pathological murderers
and sadists as well.

We called them the Toten Corps,
the Death Corps,

creatures more horrible
than any you can imagine.

Not dead, not alive,
but somewhere in-between.

They were transported
to any scene of battle
and let loose...

but problems arose.
They could not be controlled.

Their innate desire for
violence made their behavior
unpredictable and erratic.

There were even incidences
when they attacked
their own soldiers.

So, they were withdrawn
for further study.

Then, the war was drawing
to an end.

I was ordered to remove
my group from possible capture.

I took them to sea just before
all our ports were closed.

We roamed the oceans
for many weeks,

waiting orders,
which never came.

The war was lost.

Somewhere, near to this island,

I sent the ship and her cargo
to the bottom,

and here I have been
ever since,

in voluntary exile.

That's the ship?
The one out on the reef?

And now, she has returned.

You mean to tell us,
these things have been
underwater all these years?

What kind of story is this?

You gonna believe this stuff?

You may believe what you wish.

What you do now is no longer
any concern of mine.

I want you to leave.

If I see any of you at all,
I will shoot on sight.

I think that's pretty clear.
