Detailed Synopsis

David Whiting is doing a dive check with Sandra Kane. She asks for a kiss for good luck and then dives into the water. David monitors a sonar system while Sandra is underwater. Suddenly an earthquake happens underwater and Sandra is attacked by something. David then sees as a pool of blood rises to the surface. A kid tells his mother there is something weird in the water. Ed Bennett is walking when he trips and falls into a mass of intestines. He gets up and scrapes them off and Louellen Bennett runs to him and wipes him off with a towel. Oscar Forbes walks up to Ed and Louellen and offers them free drinks as compensation for Ed being covered in the intestines. Oscar picks up a phone and demands to speak with Rachel McNamara, but is told she is on water patrol. Oscar finds Rachel and pulls her aside and tells her Earl Sullivan is trying to ruin the hotel and humiliate him. He then tells Rachel to confront Earl and Greg Oliver. Greg overhears Louellen tell Ed when she gets into a mood, she just has to buy something and motions to a wood craft salesman who puts out a large woodcraft with a sign that says not for sale. Louellen and Ed walk up to the shop and when Ed asks why the one piece isn't for sale, the salesman tells him it is real. Ed offers him a hundred dollars and Greg walks up to him and pulls him aside and tells him not to offer more than fifty dollars for it. After buying the carving, Ed walks up to Greg and thanks him and when he finds out he lives on a fishing boat, he and Louellen go to see it. David returns to the dock and is pulled onto the dock by his workers. He reports Sandra missing to Nieberg and then goes back onto his boat. Ed and Louellen go onto Earl's boat and he offers them a drink. Earl tells Ed and Louellen about a Japanese family that tried to leave Hawaii in their yacht after Pearl Harbor when it was hit by a bomb dropped by a Zero. They then tell them that all of the jade and gold the Japanese family had is still somewhere in the water. Rachel arrives at the port and he tells her Sandra drowned and she asks him if he has been dropping bait in front of the hotel she works at. She tells him he and Early are banned from the hotel for good. Nieberg and David discuss Sandra missing and they agree that they hope she just walked to shore. A pair of fisherman bring David some deep sea fish they found for him to identify including one he doesn't recognize. As a glass bottom boat passes, the driver sees something in the water and dives in and finds a human forearm. At the hotel, Oscar walks up to Holland who is playing chess with himself and asks if he is still winning. He walks around and talks with a French novelist tourist having dinner with Rachel. A waitress walks up to Oscar and tells him Harry (Up from the Depths)|Harry wants to talk to him. Harry then tells Oscar that he found a human arm on the reef and Oscar tells him to throw it back into the water. At the hotel, Earl and Greg are having a meeting with Ed Louellen and Holland. Oscar walks up to them and tells them Earl and Greg are swindlers and orders Earl and Greg thrown out of the hotel.
