Shock Waves Page #3

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 bloodthirsty 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So they were withdrawn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.

Halt!

Halt!

Where do you think

you're going with them?

You don't expect me to

leave them, do you?

Don't be an ass, Norman.

There's barely enough

room on here for us!

When I want your opinion,

I'll ask for it.

Are we taking you or the bags?

What is it?

Damn. Damn!

There's a goddamn mud bank.

We'll have to push it across.

Everyone out!

Rose! Get in the boat.

Steer the rudder.

Keith! Keith!

Are you crazy?

Let's get the hell out of here!

Keith, we're sailing!

Come about! Come about!

What did you say?

Help me.

Take her in.

Beverly. Beverly.

Where's Beverly?!

- I'm sure she's all right.

- Well, where are they?

Beverly! Beverly!

- Beverly! Beverly!

- Norman! Norman!

- Shut up!

- All right.

All right, all right, all right.

All right, let's just think.

Let's just think.

- No, let's just keep moving.

- Keep moving? Where, where?

- We'll go to the hotel.

- To the hotel?

- Yes. Come on.

- All right, all right, all right.

Which way now?

This way.

Norman.

Norman, wait!

Norman!

Norman!

How's everything down here? All set?

Set as we'll ever be.

- Any sign of them?

- No, nothing.

Beverly?

Where's Chuck?

I don't know.

He just said he didn't wanna

come inside until he had to.

I told you to stay inside.

What are you doing up here anyway?

I thought maybe he had something

up here that might help us.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I'm coming.

What is it now?!

I don't see what the percentage

is of hiding in a refrigerator!

They hate the light, right?

When do you think you're

most likely to see them?

The refrigerator's got

walls two feet thick.

I hope it'll be enough.

You've got your nerve.

We were all supposed to

be in here before dark.

You've put us in danger!

Do you realize that?

What's with him?

Beverly, it's gonna be

a long night for all of us.

Everybody ready for lights out?

Chuck, do you feel all right?

Chuck, what's the matter?

You've got to let me out of here.

Christ!

Not now. We can't do it now.

Just let me out.

You don't have to come.

I can't stay in here any longer.

I didn't want to come here.

He came and got me.

I thought it would be okay.

Sometimes, I can

control it, but this...

Please, let me out!

I'll take my chances!

It's too late!

They'll find us.

You're gonna have to control it!

You all stay inside!

I can't control it!

I don't have any choice.

Now... now, get out of the way!

- Put that thing down!

- Are you insane?!

If he fires that thing in here,

we'll all suffocate to death!

Let him go if he wants to!

If I open and close that door,

one of them might hear it.

- Then where will we be?

- Open the goddamn door!

- Open the door, please.

- Open it, open it, open it!

All right, just let me look.

Open it! Open it!

Give me the flashlight!

Then we'll be left with

nothing but an oil lamp!

You don't need it.

I need all the help I can get

out there, now let me have it!

My eyes!

Help me! I can't see!

- What is it?

- Boiler.

Rose?

Keith?

Is that you?

Come on.

Come on.

The oars!

No!

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.

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.

It's only now,

I remember any of it at all.
