-Spot anything unusual?

-Not a thing.

-Look at the screen, Fred.

All those going ashore,

report to the companionway.

Hi there.

How do you like this for beach wear?

Fantastic. I'm afraid

you can't come ashore, though.

Wait a minute.

You said I could come

on the first boat.

You should wait

till the recon is gone.

You want full coverage

of this landing, don't you?

I must be in it. The all-American

girl saved from a yacht -

-by "Deep Throat".

-Don't print those, I'm married.

-Guaranteed to be on People Magazine.

-Printjust one.

-Really, Mr. Wilson...

I need a break,

and you owe it to me.

Because I am a holder of

a Petrox credit card. I really am!

Ask your computer.

I may be late on my payments, but

you take 18%% % interest plus charges.

Dwan, you come ashore with us.

Captain, she'll come ashore.

Good luck. As soon as you get

through, get on the horn.

Hey, Jack? Maybe it's him.

Fred Wilson.

I had my horoscope done

before I flew to Hong Kong.

-It said that I was...

-Here you go.

It said that I was going to cross

over water -

-and meet the biggest person

in my life.

That's interesting. The current is

-What does that mean?

-The fog might lift at the edge.

Crossing 20 fathoms.

Shallowing rapidly.

Standing up ahead.

I think I hear breakers.

Shore boat to Explorer.

There's a curtain around the island.

We just broke through.

There's a beach dead ahead.

In two words:
No probIem.

Let me get down! I haven't

touched the ground in weeks.

That's good.

Jack! I'm coming ashore.

Wait, hold it. All right.

Beautiful.

Let's start getting a line on this

island. Bring the mosquito spray!

We won't have to start wondering

which way to go.

You want to start setting

seismic charges this morning?

-Yes. Got to knock the stucture.

-All right, move out!

There's a waterfall ahead!

Last one to get in

is a rotten egg.

Don't go running off anymore.

We'll wait here for them.

Just stick close by me, OK?

Holy Mother!

That looks as old as the pyramids.

Could be. But the pyramids

weren't repaired six months ago.

There's earth on those timbers. It has

to be replaced after each monsoon.

Are you telling me

there's people here?

What's more, I'll characterize them.

Scared people.

-Scared of what?

-I don't exactly what it is.

But apparently, they thought

they needed a wall to keep it out.

Let me straighten you out

on a couple of points.

One:
This wall is an ancient ruin.

Two:
The island is uninhabited.

And three:
There's an uninhabited

German beer hall in there.

Let's go.

Fred? Look down there.

Take your binoculars.

-What?

-Down there, that pool.

-Do you think it could be?

-The surface seems viscous.
