Part 3/8:
The Revelation: A Fake Captain
As panic sets in, Clark bizarrely slips into a British accent, revealing his true identity as a hired actor pretending to be a heroic captain. He admits that the real captain was Joe, the deceased engineer who had hired him to serve as a charismatic figurehead. This revelation infuriates Judd and the ship’s passengers, leaving Clark in a precarious position.
Despite the turmoil, Clark and engineer Billy attempt to manage the situation by announcing the extended duration of their journey while reassuring the passengers that they are safe. Their attempts to secure stability are thwarted when Clark discovers that Judd's assistant, Iris, has no choice but to use a golden coffin brought by Judd for Joe’s funeral.
