The Ivory Web
About 200 years in the past, The Ivory Web and a British navy ship battle in the Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda.

As The Ivory Web sinks, Black Jack Lee stays aboard.

Oil Endeavor
Modern day, Atlantic Ocean, Bermuda.

He shines his flashlight on the ship, illuminating the name:

A canon fires out in the fog.

An old ship with tattered sails appears in the fog, firing canons.

Men board the Oil Endeavor''. One man knocks out Charlie, and as he falls, he spins the wheel on the hot water being pumped to the men below.''

''Lacey goes for the controls, but is knocked down before he can pull them up. A man - Black Jack Lee - damages the controls with a sword.''

Dr. Quest's office
Dr. Quest's office in the Quest Compound.

''Records come up on screen, automatically pulled by the computer. Including an image of Black Jack Lee.''

Lighthouse
In the solar room, Hadji and Jonny are practicing getting out of rope bindings.

Jonny falls over.

A knock on the door through the floor.

Quest Map:
 * Departure: Quest Compound, Maine.
 * Destination: Bermuda Island.

Questor
The Quest Team heads out in the Questor.

Jonny and Hadji board the Sea Slug.

Race also goes down into the Sea Slug''. Jessie hands him his diving helmet.''

The Sea Slug is launched, and begins descending.

Race turns the valve on the helium oxygen.

Race and Jonny dive.

Race and Jonny approach The Ivory Web.

There's a sudden explosive sound topside - canon fire.

A sudden, heavy fog rolls in around the Questor.

Men begin boarding the Questor''. Dr. Quest is grabbed and carried off. Jessie is as well. One pirate shoots at equipment, while another takes a sword to other equipment.''

With the controls damaged, the cable supporting the Sea Slug unwinds.

Sea Slug
Race and Jonny begin to return to the Sea Slug''. Hadji shivers in the cold.''

As Jonny and Race leave The Ivory Web, Jonny's umbilical gets caught on a canon.

''Jonny's cable pulls the canon loose, and they both fall to the ocean floor. Race pushes Jonny out of the way as the canon falls, but it strikes Race, knocking him unconscious.''

Jonny begins to lift Race's body to pull him back, but he's struggling.

''Hadji drops the hook for Jonny. His breath is misting and his lips are turning blue in the cold.''

Jonny gets to the hook.

Hadji concentrates and continues to shiver.

Jonny gets the hook attached to Race's diving suit.

Hadji turns the release control and begins to pull Race back up into the Sea Slug''. Jonny collapses, but holds onto Race and is pulled up as well. Jonny loses his hold on Race, but Hadji reaches into the water and grabs Jonny just in time, pulling him up into the Sea Slug.''

''Hadji pulls off Race's diving helmet, showing blood running down his face from his injury. Race's lips are also blue from the cold. Race groans.''

''Hadji pulls off Jonny's helmet. Frost is on Jonny's hair and skin.''

''Hadji slaps Jonny's face. Jonny groans but doesn't awaken.''

Hadji pulls the emergency release and the Sea Slug surfaces.

Once back to the surface, Hadji throws open the hatch and calls out to the Questor.

The deck of the Questor is empty.

Hadji later gets Jonny and Race out of the Sea Slug.

Motorboat
Later, Jonny launches an outboard motorboat from the Questor.

Jonny steers the motorboat away.

''Night descends. Jonny increases the speed, but he runs aground and his boat starts taking on water.''

''He tries to continue on in the boat as it takes on water. The engine finally stalls.''

''A light appears in the distance. Jonny waves to it.''

''The light approaches, mounted on a boat of men dressed like pirates. It heads straight toward him, and Jonny leaps overboard to safety just as they pass.''

''Jonny is in the water, splashing and apparently struggling, but he's crouched on rocks just beneath the surface. The pirates head toward him.''

A pirate increases the speed of the boat, heading straight for Jonny

Jonny jumps out of the way just as the pirates to get to where he was, causing their boat to crash against the rocks, causing an explosion and a fire.

Jonny watches the fire, standing on the rocks.

''Jonny sees an island nearby and swims to it. Looking around the island, he finds the apparent ghost ship. A man surprises him.''

Black Jack Lee knocks Jonny out.

Pirate ship
Jonny is tied up aboard the pirate ship, struggling to get out of his bonds.

''Jonny succeeds at pulling his tied hands in front of himself. He smiles and begins loosening his bonds.''

Untied, Jonny sneaks around the ship and overhears the pirates talking.

Jonny moves on and in another room finds Dr. Quest and Jessie tied up.

Jonny pulls tape off Jessie's mouth.

Jonny pulls tape from Dr. Quest's mouth.

Pirate ship top deck
''After escaping their bonds, the three sneak up to the top deck of the ship. Dr. Quest examines equipment there.''

''Dr. Quest starts up some of the equipment. Fog begins to generate. Lights and sound effects come on. The pirates run to the deck, confused. The Black Jack Lee imposter catches Dr. Quest, Jonny, and Jessie sabotaging the ship -- Dr. Quest using an axe to the hull, causing the ship to take on water.''

Black Jack Lee imposter attacks Dr. Quest.

''Dr. Quest gets away. Black Jack Lee imposter throws the axe at Dr. Quest, but he ducks and gets away. The three try to lock him below deck, but he uses the axe on the door and they run.''

The damage done to the ship causes an explosion below deck.

The three jump into the water, escaping the explosions.

Questor
''Another day. The Questor has been repaired enough to operate again. Race is still injured. Dr. Quest and Race are topside, while Hadji, Jonny, and Jessie are below. Hadji is again in the Sea Slug, and Jessie and Jonny are diving.''

Jonny and Jessie approach the wreck of The Ivory Web''. The groud starts to give way at their feet as The Ivory Web slips over the edge of the gorge, sinking into the depths.''

There's something on the ship, the apparent image of Black Jack Lee.
