The Village of Guilt

A sea monster kills three villagers in a Norwegian fjord; however, one man survives. Seaview arrives to investigate. Nelson and Crane are met with hostility from the locals and find the survivor has died. Nelson does his best to make sure the ""sea monster"" doesn't destroy Seaview.

An old friend of Nelson's comes aboard Seaview to continue his research into the giant whale that destroyed his ship, crippling him and killing his son.
