After a series of supernatural events, the group decides to abandon the salvage effort and retreat with the gold, but an invisible force sabotages the Arctic Warrior. The man is revealed as Jack Ferriman, who is the demonic spirit of a deceased sinner tasked with provoking people to sin, then killing them and bringing their souls to Hell. Epps deduces that Ferrimans lured the salvage team to the GrazA to repair it, and decides to sink it to thwart his plan. The group meets Katie’s ghost, who reveals what happened on the Gazra. Katie is spared due to the wire passing over her head, but is later killed by the ghost of the ship’s captain. The captain explains that they recovered the gold from a sinking cruise ship, the LoreleI, and convinced many of the Gezra’s crew to murder the passengers, as well as the remaining crew, for the gold. The mastermind behind the massacre killed Francesca by releasing a hook which slashes into her neck and hooks her. He then branded her palm with a hook-shaped symbol using only his hands.
