(rap music on radio)
- Well?
- Yeah.
That's not cool, Robby.
One bottle - what difference
does it make?
Okay, I'm sorry.
Forgive me?
(faint hiss)
- What was that?
- What?
- That noise.
- It's called a lake.
(hiss)
That's not the lake.
See?
Chill!
We're all alone out here.
(faint splash)
Did you hear it, too?
Robby?
What are you doing?
My Dad's got a flashlight
somewhere.
Robby - I'm scared.
Check it out - an otter.
It's probably just making sure
we're not predators.
Or maybe it was the lake monster...
...coming to get you!
- You were scared too, Robby!
- Oh, yeah - shaking all over.
Don't be a jerk!
I thought we came out here
to have a good time.
Your hands are cold...
...and wet!
Krissy!!
Krissy!!
Hey!
Hi, Honey.
You're just in time for breakfast.
I don't get up early, I don't
get to see you.
How do you want your eggs?
I'll just have coffee.
I got to go to work.
Hey - guess I'll see you
sometime tomorrow.
I don't like the idea of you
being out on the lake all night.
Yeah, me neither - but it was
either that or lose my permit.
- That Kat's such a ***.
- Yeah, but we need the money.
Think that scientist's
a vegetarian?
I don't know.
I'll ask him when I meet him.
Well, if he is, tough. I made
salami for lunch, chicken for dinner.
Thanks, Babe.
- Don't work too hard tonight.
- Candace is coming in later.
Okay, so when was the last
time you actually saw her?
Six o'clock yesterday -
with Robby MacGregor.
Six o'clock?
I told Krissy right from
the start - he's trouble.
Well, I wouldn't worry.
I mean, she's a teenager...
...she stayed out all night
with her boyfriend, you know?
He's not her boyfriend.
He's just playing with her.
Still, I'm sure she'll be home soon.
Remember when you were a kid
and you snuck off to the mainland
and blew all your gas money on
cigarettes and beer?
Krissy's my responsibility now.
She's my little sister.
Krissy's a smart girl, though -
she can take care of herself.
Besides, I can't even send out a patrol
until she's been missing
for at least 24 hours, Will,
you know that.
I don't know why I thought
you would help.
Zach, it's Kat.
"Go, Kat."
Can you do me a favor, buddy?
I need you to send out a boat
to the North Shore, looking for
Joe MacGregor's boat -
the Nova Wolf.
"You got it."
Thank you.
What are we doing here?
Come on, where's your
sense of adventure?
- Half the fun's getting there.
- Larissa...out!
Welcome to Fells Island!
Hey, care to buy a T- shirt?
Lake monsters?
Mister, that's a bunch of bull.
- James - don't be rude!
- But, Mom.
It's okay, Ma'am.
I was skeptical, too. That is,
until I seen him for myself.
It was a misty night - right
here on this very shoreline.
I seen a slithering, black monster
poke its head up out of the water.
Come on.
Thank you.
Watch out for those lake monsters!
Hi.
Hi.
Um, can I help you?
Yeah - I'm Dan Leland.
I'm here to see Officer Thomas.
Oh, right - Dr Leland from
the National Oceanographic...
...Research Agency.
We just call it N.O.R.A.
So, uh...can you let him
know I'm here?
Um, I'm Katrina Tomas -
Fisheries Officer for Fells Island
"To - Ma."
Sorry.
- Welcome. You can call me Kat.
- Alright.
Sorry for the mess around here.
See, Sherriff Grady just kind of
died on us.
And that makes me the only
law now - which is kind of scary.
Okay. I'd like to get my equipment
in the boat as soon as possible.
You don't want to check into
your hotel, or anything, first?
No. Business before pleasure.
Right.
Hey, just so you know - It wasn't all
that easy getting you aboard a boat.
Why not? Aren't I
paying enough?
No, it's just that we've
had researchers here before.
They say they're here to help,
and then they
hand in their reports
and the fisheries shut down.
Well, I'm not here to help.
I'm here to do unbiased research to
find out why catches are plummeting.
You'll be going out with
Captain Gunnar Thorson.
He's the finest fisherman
on the island.
Let me guess.
Gunnar, this is Dr Dan Leland
from N.O.R.A.
Can I have a word with you
for a second, please?
I'll just be one second.
What's up?
You said, take out a researcher,
not a mountain of gear.
He is a researcher, Gunnar.
What did you expect?
So you're the scientist guy - supposed
to tell us why we ain't got no fish.
That's right.
Wastin' your time. Ain't no mystery -
it's the Indians
Catch whatever they want -
no permit.
Some kind of tribal
rights crap.
Just ask Chief Pocahantas.
She'll tell you all about it.
She's a half breed - part white,
part brown - crazier than both.
Alright, get your crap aboard.
Keep it out of the way.
This is a working boat.
- When do we launch?
- Five minutes ago.
- Terrific.
- Bon Voyage.
Nice new generator.
Bring you own anchor, too?
I need it to power some
of my equipment.
- There's an outlet right there.
- Yeah, I know, thanks, but...
...the AC output of your
engine is uneven.
Oh...
...Hey, Spider, Jordy! The AC output
of the engine is uneven!
Harbor Master, this is Freya -
we're underway.
"All clear, Gunnar. Good luck."
Aw, look at these rocks.
This is fascinating.
Jim, Honey - come on,
we're getting hungry!
Jim?
Kids, did you see where
your father went?
No. Where is he?
Jim! Honey, you're scaring
the kids!
Jim!
Anything?
Yeah, there are so many fish
out there you could walk on them...
...I just didn't want
to bother you.
Found some fish, Professor?
It's kind of weird, actually.
I thought I had a bead on
something nice for a second
...it could have been a nice
school of fish, maybe.
Just disappeared.
What - the fish disappeared?
Spider! The fish disappeared!
Where'd they go?!
I don't know.
Ask the Professor.
What the hell is
all this crap?
Hey don't touch that - please.
It's standard equipment -
Sonar, fish finder, thermal energy.
You want to find the fish?
Tell the government to spike
that damn tribal rights initiative.
Them Indians been screwing us over -
native rights crap if you ask me.
Well - I'm not asking.
Well, I'm telling you.
Look - N.O.R.A. sent me here
to do analysis on why
commercial fishing has been
so hard hit in this region.
It could be any number of things -
it could be climate change...
...could be pollution, could be something
you guys are doing incorrectly.
Why - you think it's our fault?
I think it would be foolish to
draw any conclusions
without any substantial
evidence.
Making friends?
Yeah.
I think we're off to
a great start.
Your place would be perfect.
I'm not having a baby shower
at my house. I hate babies.
So Kat made Gunnar take a
researcher from N.O.R.A. with him.
I had to make them lunch and dinner.
Yeah, I heard.
Jordy was ranting about it
this morning before he left.
Ain't this researcher paying?
Not much for the trouble.
We could sure as hell use the money.
You think she's sweet on him?
My Gunnar?
No - the N.O.R.A. guy.
I heard he was handsome.
Better not let Jordy
hear you say that.
Kat's got a thing for those
science guys.
That's why she's always
bending over to help them.
What does she care? She can
still cash her government paycheck.
She's supposed to be
helping the fishery.
Maybe you should talk
to him, Jen.
What for?
Tell him what Kat's
really like.
Before she digs
her claws into him.
Maybe I will.
- What's going on?
- Something's out there.
- What is this?
- Don't touch the equipment.
Well, what is that!?
I don't know.
Could be a ship.
Whatever it is, it's
not answering.
- Yeah, and it's not moving, either.
- Let's find out.
Head right for it.
Jordy, take the wheel.
Hit those lights!
Spider, man that spot.
Slow as she goes, Jordy!
Hello!
Anyone hear me out there?!
Nova Wolf.
That's Joe MacGregor's boat.
Man in the water!
Full stop!
Man in the water!
- Oh, God.
- It's Robby MacGregor.
I got him. I got him.
Come on, pull.
Oh, he's dead.
Jordy - get a blanket.
We've got to get his
core temperature up fast!
I know hypothermia
when I see it.
Breathe, Robby - Breathe!
Jordy - blanket, now!
We were off the point - when
it hit us.
What hit you?
What hit you, Robby?
A monster.
Like a wave - a squall?
A monster - knocked me
out of the boat.
I looked underwater and...
...it pulled her under.
I saw it eat Krissy!
- Oh, Lord!
- Alright, calm down.
Easy, easy - settle down.
Lord...don't...
Spider, put on some water. We've got to
get him in the engine room.
Spider, go get some water - now!
We've got to get him hot!
- The engine room's hot.
- Leland!
He's gone!
What the hell is he doing?
I don't know.
Need a hand, there?
No. No, I'm okay.
So, how was your run this morning?
It was great, thank you.
I went along the north shore.
You're not going to meet
any men on the north shore.
Well, I don't want to shock you, Mom,
but I wasn't trying to meet any men.
I was just trying to get some exersize.
- But I did talk to a man this morning.
- Who?
Mr Gadbury?
He's eighty.
He's eighty five - and he's cute.
And he's single.
What about that new guy
you were telling me about?
What new guy?
The fish doctor.
Why didn't you invite
him for dinner
you said he was handsome.
He is handsome - so what?
So, is he interesting - maybe he's
looking to settle down?
I think he's looking to do research, Mom.
He's here for like a week.
God...get off my case.
(cell phone rings)
Where's my phone?
Did this ring while I was out?
Hey Zach, it's Kat.
No, I just got back from my run.
Who is it?
I'll be right there.
I gotta go!
What about your breakfast?
No time - I have to
get there right away.
Never get to be a grandmother.
RCMP is going to want
a statement from you.
Statement? We didn't
see anything.
When we pulled Robby out of the water
he was five feet in the grave.
- Was he conscious?
- Barely.
- Did he say anything?
- Nothing that made any sense.
Bunch of crazy babble.
You're awfully quiet.
Well, Robby had hypothermia.
It's been known to cause
hallucinations and delirium.
But, what he said was...
He must have been driving
that thing pretty fast...
...hit a rock, or...I don't know.
And you weren't able
to salvage it?
Just bits and pieces - the rest is
at the bottom of the lake.
That boat was crushed.
There were anomalous circular
abrasions on some of the pieces.
- What do you mean?
- On the hull - I'll show you.
If you guys have been
tampering with evidence...
Evidence of what?
What do you think
caused those abrasions?
Oh - if she is going to
start talking about a giant squid
I'm out of here.
Who said anything
about a giant squid?
Well, it's what you're
thinking, isn't it?
I don't know what to think.
Look, all I know is that I've got one
dead boy and two other people missing!
She's gone.
Will - you shouldn't be here.
Is that Robby?
Yes.
Krissy?
She ain't coming back.
"This is Dr Dana Perch."
"I'm away from my desk right now.
To leave a message, speak after the tone."
(beep)
Dana , hey, it's Dan Leland
calling from Fells Island, listen...
I just e-mailed you
some images and, ah...
...I'd like your opinion on them
because I suspect, uh...
...well - you'll see.
Call me back.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Want to go for a drink?
- A drink? It's 10:30 in the morning.
Coffee's a drink.
Well, I was going to hike out past
the east shore, about a missing tourist.
You're welcome to join me
if you are up for it.
I'm up for anything.
Okay.
So, how long have you been
with the Fisheries Department?
Since I graduated.
Stayed out west for a little while but -
then I wanted to come back here.
Why?
Just my family - and because
it's home, I guess.
- How long have you been with N.O.R.A.?
- Two years now.
Recruited me right out of
grad school.
- Recruited?
- Yeah.
Oh, I get it...top of the class -
star of the football team...
You could not be more wrong.
It was baseball.
This is my first official
field assignment, actually.
- Really?
- Yeah, it's kind of punishment, in a way.
Why?
Well...You're never gonna
make a name for yourself
when you're floating around
on a boat somewhere.
At least that's what
my Dad always says.
- Your Dad's a scientist, too?
- Not just a scientist...
He is the preeminent marine
biologist of his generation.
Living legend - if you don't
believe me, ask him - he'll tell you.
What does your father do?
Just me and my Mom, actually.
She's a nurse.
But - back to you, now, uh...
You said "punishment" -
now that usually involves a crime, so...
...what was yours?
I think I found your
missing tourist.
Well, it's not really my
area of expertise.
Okay, but if I'm guessing,
I'd say that it's a male torso.
But how the heck do I
know for sure?
Okay, that's just gross.
Look, I bagged it, tagged it and
I put it on ice
until the coroner can get here.
Seventy two hours?!
Why the delay?
Alright - yeah, I'll keep an
eye out here, then.
Thank you. Bye.
You still up for that drink?
I love fishing.
Fishing's the best!
- The best!
- Absolutely the best.
It's the best -
better than sex.
- Fishing is not better than sex!
- Absolutely, it is!
Okay - top ten reasons why?
Okay - top ten reasons why
fishing is better than sex.
Number 10: If you catch something
while you're fishing, it's a good thing.
Number 9: You don't have to pay extra
to watch fishing on TV at your hotel.
- Number eight?
- Number eight.
Uhhhhh.
Wait - I got one.
If you videotape yourself fishing...
there's no danger of it ending
up on the internet.
Good one!
Fishing in groups never
gets awkward.
Your fishing partner will never get
jealous of who you used to fish with.
If you catch a fish and you
release it,
you don't have to worry about
calling it the next day.
- That's bad!
- It's true!
If you see somebody that looks like
they'd be really good at fishing...
...you don't have to worry about
wanting to fish with them.
Nothing to be embarrassed about
if your Mom walks in
and you're fishing by yourself.
Yes, there is.
Oh, that's funny.
You're a funny guy, Dan Leland.
Who knew?
When I first met you,
you didn't strike me as funny.
- No?
- No - you struck me as a little cold.
- What?
- Just a little distant.
Cold? I'm not cold, I'm friendly!
I'm a very friendly guy.
I'm like the friendliest guy...
Okay - is that one of those guys
that wants to talk to me?
(Indian Language)
You know what? I'm going
to talk to those guys.
No, Dan - don't. Don't do that.
They've had a hard time.
Exactly. All the more reason I
should go over and talk to them.
Dan...don't! You haven't told
me the number one reason!
There is no number one reason.
Nothing is better than sex.
My sister is dead. Wisdom won't
guide my hand - vengence will.
Hey guys. My name is Dan Leland.
- I'm here doing some research.
- We know who you are.
Mind if I sit down?
So, how's it going?
Alright.
Come on guys, what's
going on?
I'm sorry, I don't...
Drink with us - not
these fish stealers.
Aw, come on, now.
Used to be plenty of fish
before the white man came.
Fish filled the boats
to the gunwales.
Yeah - and that's how you
people fished out the lake.
Us!! What happen to all the
fish where you came from?
Yeah, why don't you hop in
your boat and go back to Europe.
Maybe I will. And maybe I'll
take all the firewater with me!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's not worth it.
Hey, guys! Are we going to
have a problem here?
Jordy?
The science guy's right.
I don't need this.
No surprise who's side
you're on.
Jordy - I'm not on
anybody's side.
Sorry it didn't
work out for you.
Not quite like I planned.
Come on, Friendly.
Just off one of the piers
near the east shore.
Is there a reward?
- By who's decision?!
- Mine!
I got rent to pay -
and alimony!
Who the hell do you think
you are?!
I am the maritime authority
for Fells Island!
And until further notice
this is how it's going to be!
We're not afraid of what's
out on the lake!
Or under it!
And what about the Indians?!
You been playing favorites with
your people since God knows when!
Damn it, Jordy - you're
all my people!
Can't you see, I am
trying to protect you?!
From what?!
Gunnar - I have three dead
bodies in as many days.
Look - as most of you know,
I have been conducting research.
I am looking into the
possibility
of a sizable, anomalous,
freshwater...
In English! Professor - tell
us in English!
What that means is...
"Possibility" means you don't
know anything for sure, right?!
The company I work for - N.O.R.A. -
wants to conduct some tests -
send in some experts.
But until then -
in my professional opinion...
This time you've gone
too far, Katrina!
- This is gonna bankrupt us!
- She's gone off the deep end!
We're going over your head!
And over your head!
We're gonna get this
fishery re-opened!
Thanks for stepping in there and
trying to explain what's going on.
Yeah - anytime you need help
like that just let me know.
Well, you won't win them over
that way - clinically.
These people have fishing
in their blood.
Well, you could show them the torso
half covered in sucker marks.
No - I can't.
Not 'till the coroner's here.
Anyway, I know these people, Dan.
They will not believe what is
right before their eyes.
I'm having a hard time, myself.
"Hang onto the stuff. Keep the
fishery open."
That's what you said.
What's the point of hanging on to
those bits of the Nova Wolf now...
...the fishery's been
closed anyway.
This is exactly why I'm holdin'
on to them. I'm not going hungry.
Maybe I can sell 'em to someone
who's interested in lake monsters.
I don't know - selling
stolen evidence...
I didn't steal 'em! I netted them -
not the fricken' science guy.
But what if he's right?
You really think there's
a lake monster?
Maybe.
You been swallowin' what the
science guy's been shovelin'.
- Look, I just...
- You agreeing with the Indians?
Hell, no!
Okay - then it's just like
Gunnar said.
A few pieces of broken fiberglass
hull ain't proof of nothin'.
But it still might be
worth somethin'.
The markings I found on the
speedboat and the torso
were perfectly round
and serrated -
consistant with what we know
of a giant squid's grip.
"A giant squid?
In a lake?"
Look - freshwater squid have
been documented before.
This lake has both the depth
and the average temperature
to provide a suitable habitat
for an Architeuthis.
The pictures you e-mailed us
were inconclusive.
To say the least!
Can you send us the pieces
of the boat?
"Unfortunately, the pieces
are missing."
That's convenient.
Look - the local fishermen...
...think we're trying to run
them out of business.
But I've got a very good relationship
with the Fisheries Department.
We'll get those pieces eventually.
"And the human remains?"
On ice, waiting for the RCMP to
ship them back to the mainland.
And they'll be with them for the
duration of the investigation.
I assume you've ruled out a hoax
of some kind...
...an elaborate prank?
Do you remenber what happened
to Dr Watkins in the South Pacific?
He tracked a baleen optimuscus
for weeks - called in the press.
"It turned out to be a submarine."
This is no submarine.
"Dan - Watkins' career was ruined,
before it was even started."
"Dan - what you're proposing
doesn't make sense."
I sent you there to do responsible
scientific research
into the depleted food chain.
Not to dredge up a hairbrained theory
about a giant squid attacking people.
"Okay - I've got a severed leg
and a torso with no head."
Cut by the motor blade.
"And the sucker marks?"
What sucker marks?
More likely consistant with the
blade from an outboard.
"We can't justify any kind of
investigation
on such a ridiculous pretext."
We wouldn't dare approach
the board for funding.
Fine - I'll go elsewhere.
"You'll do no such thing."
"Now, we've been through this already.
You needed a little field assignment
so you could float around and
cool off a bit."
Not to make up a ridiculous
story about a freshwater Architeuthis.
I mean, what would
your father think?
"You haven't spoken to anyone
about this, have you...
...as a representative
of N.O.R.A.?"
"Oh, that's just terrific."
"Your father's going to love that!"
"Dr Leland screams 'Giant Squid!'"
"When's the earliest you
could fly back here?"
I don't know.
Find out.
And just so we're clear...
...when you're in the field
you're representing N.O.R.A.!
We value our credibility!
"Dana, could you do me
a personal favor?"
Uh uh - no way. I'm not getting
into the middle of this.
Just take a look at the
data I sent you...
...the bio-mass rates, and
cross reference that with any
satellite photos
we have of the area.
Dan - don't do this.
Get some rest.
I guess Gunnar was wrong
about you.
He figured you'd have us
shut down in a month.
All it took you was
a couple of days.
Okay.
First of all...
...it wasn't my call.
Second of all, I believe the
ban is a necessary precaution.
Against what?
A lake monster?
It's a theory.
Your theory or hers?
Hers mostly, I'll bet.
You don't believe in any
of it, do you?
Lake monster...giant squid...
Taking your living from the water
means people are going to
go under from time to time.
I know.
...family's been here five
generations.
I saw the MacGregor boat.
You saw smashed
pieces of a hull.
Kat saw a shadow in the water
when she was seven years old...
...got scared when her Daddy
drowned and made up stories...
...screaming about
a lake monster.
She had to stay with her
Indian relatives after that.
She'd scream like a loon...
...and she'd never go swimming.
You don't get it, do you
Bright Guy?
She closes down the fishery,
you can just walk away.
We got no where to go.
She's got you to validate what she's
been obsessing over all these years
and now everyone's
got to suffer.
She's nuts, Doc...
...and she's playing you like the
biggest fish that ever bit.
Got enough for winter?
Depends how cold it gets.
Looks like hard work.
It is.
It's also a deeply satisfying way
to work out your frustrations.
Yeah?
You're right - it did feel good.
My conversation with N.O.R.A.
did not go well.
They're not sending
any more researchers.
They made it very clear how ridiculous
they think this whole thing is...
...and how ridiculous I would look
if I persued it.
But you told half the town
N.O.R.A. was interested in it -
- that they were going to
continue their research.
So you lied to us?
I was trying to back you up.
The whole town was
jumping all over you.
I wanted to give them some reason
to stand by your decision.
Well, thanks Dan, but it doesn't
do much for our credibility.
What credibility?
We didn't even know for sure
that this thing actually exists.
Why don't you come inside?
When I was seven, my Dad
took me out fishing this one time.
It was early in the morning - it was
just the two of us out on the boat.
Lake was real quiet.
Anyway, we were reeling one in when
something surfaced from
under the boat and...
...we thought that we'd
run aground at first.
But we hadn't.
I saw it, Dan...
Architeuthis
I saw it take my father
right out of the boat.
Why didn't you tell me any
of this before?
Because I didn't know
you before.
I had to know I could trust you.
Please understand that I have been
ridiculed about this my entire life.
So, you're the only one
who has ever seen it?
Yeah, as far as I know.
Do you have any proof?
I just told you that I saw it!
That's not proof, Kat.
You could go to N.O.R.A. and
tell them you have an eyewitness.
I can't do that.
You can't or you won't?
It's not like I don't want to, okay?
If I could prove that
this thing existed
I'd be on the cover of every
magazine from here to Japan, but...
...look, the reality of the
situation is that
if I went to N.O.R.A. with absolute proof
that this thing was out there...
...you know what they'd do first?
They'd shut this place down...indefinitely.
They'd bring out researchers - they'd
study it, they'd protect it...
...the fishery would be gone!
At this point...
...none of that even matters.
They want me off this island
as soon as possible.
And you're leaving?
I don't have a choice.
Well, I guess we have nothing left
to talk about then, do we?
Come on, Kat - don't...
I'm sorry.
Hey, that's okay.
You don't have to be sorry, Dan.
You even said yourself -
you weren't here to help...right?
Five generations...at least.
Gone
Don't worry, Gun.
We'll get through this.
Who am I kidding?
I saw this coming.
Catches getting smaller and
smaller each year.
Hey - don't blame yourself.
It's not your fault.
We'll be okay.
It's over, Jen.
Gunnar!!
Jen, my knife!!
Throw me my knife!!
Gunnar!!
Gunnar!
Holy Ghost!!
Where the hell did you
get that thing?
At the end of the pier.
It came for Jen and me...
...and I gave it hell!
Did you kill it?
This is just a tiny bit!
The rest of it is out there!
It's just what Kat used to say
when we were kids...
...and the legend - "The Fells
Island Lake Monster."
It's real!
Never thought I'd see the day.
We're goin' after it!
Come on!
Wait...Jordan!
Alright, Mom - I'll get that.
What are you doing,
sitting in the dark?
Just thinking.
Who came to visit?
What happened here?
The science guy was here.
How do you know that?
The books.
Well, there's a sure fire
way to scare him off.
Well, you're right.
He bailed.
He got called back to his
head office, anyway.
It's okay, Honey.
There's plenty more
fish in the sea.
Thanks, Mom.
(knock)
Hello, Doctor.
We're going to need
two boats.
Thought you guys didn't
believe in lake monsters?
Don't try and stop us.
Gunnar saw it himself.
Brought us a piece of it.
You saw it, Gunnar.
So, what's your plan?
I'm going to shove a harpoon
through its heart.
Okay.
The creature you're hunting
likely has three hearts.
Got enough harpoons?
Careful at night because it's
generally a night feeder.
It can search for prey with two
tentacles without even surfacing.
And its suckers - which are this big
around, by the way
have these nasty little teeth in them -
like hooks - that'll get in your
skin and rip it clean off.
If it does rip your face off, you'll
be done pretty quick...
...its got a four foot beak and
razor sharp teeth.
It'll cut through you
like a cheeze slicer.
Son of a *** is scaring
the crap out of me!
- Exactly what he's trying to do.
- Well, it's working!
Good. Because if you guys go out
there alone, you don't stand a chance.
No! No way! We're not going
out with them Indians!
Jordy, would you shut
the hell up!
Look, Gunnar, we're coming
with you!
You know what this means to me.
I think I know how to
get this thing.
But we need both boats.
Right.
Steady as she goes, Will.
Stay on my course.
We're with you, Freya.
Good sailing ahead.
Stanley Lund's room, please.
(ringing)
I still don't get it.
Squids are cephalopods - which
means they have no skeleton.
But while that makes them
incredibly flexible,
they have no stamina...
...they're designed for a quick kill,
not a protracted struggle.
This thing's probably as big
as a bus.
Bigger.
Based on my extrapolations on what
you brought into the bar
its tentacles alone could be
forty feet long.
Well, how are we supposed to kill
something like that?!
Squids use ammonia for buoyancy.
The problem with ammonia is,
it doesn't function very long
in the warmer waters near the surface.
It's probably why they keep to the
lower depths most of the time.
If we can keep this thing at
the surface long enough,
its buoyancy centers will be
rendered completely useless.
It'll be totally disoriented.
So, we're going to net it
between the two boats?
Keep it up at the surface 'till
it can't move anymore?
That's right.
Alright.
- Thank you.
- You okay?
- Yup...fine.
- You look kinda seasick.
I'm fine. Thank you.
Wiiskachaan to Freya...
This is Freya here, Wiiskachaan.
All quiet on my end. Maybe we
should spread out - cover more water.
"Try it."
How's Kat doing?
She looks a little seasick.
I'm fine! Okay?
I'm fine!
Maybe I should talk to her.
Go ahead, Wiiskachaan.
Come on, you can help us
shovel fish guts over the side.
It's called chum, Jordy - chum.
Well, what do you think
chum is, huh?
I know you're just doing this for
the glory - the money - or whatever.
But...I appreciate it.
Glory?
If it was glory I was after,
I would have grabbed that
hunk of squid you hacked off
and run back to N.O.R.A.
as quickly as I could.
Well, why are you here, then?
Would you pass me the paper towels?
Hey, Kat - where'd you go?!
Coming Jordy! I swear if you
don't shut up
I'm gonna make chum out of you!
Hey, take over, will you?
"Freya to Wiiskachaan"
Go ahead, Freya.
Maybe we should close ranks.
If we concentrate our bait...
(beeping)
Ahoy, Freya.
Hold on Skipper, we've
got something here.
Whatever it is, it's big
and it's coming at us fast.
About 15 knots on the starboard bow.
What have you got?
Approaching vessel, this is
the Freya - please respond.
There shouldn't be any boats
on the water.
Approaching vessel, this is the
Freya - I'm with the Wiiskachaan...
...please come back.
What is that?
It's no boat.
We need to get closer to the
Wiiskachaan to sync up our nets.
Wiiskachaan - we're coming closer.
Jordy - make sure those
nets are ready.
(speaking Indian language)
(speaking Indian language)
(bump)
Whoa!
What happened?
Oh!
What does that mean?
We're dead in the water!
Well, can we do something?
We've got eight seconds!
Wiisskachaan, we've lost power.
You'd better get out of here!
Two seconds.
It's under us.
It's headed for the Wiiskachaan!
There! There!
It's right on top of them!
Wiiskachaan! Get out of there now!
My God!
Will, answer me!
Shoot!! Shoot!!
Will!
(gunshots and screams)
(screaming)
Jack!
Aaaaahh!
Jack!!
Ryan!!
Hang on!!
Come on!
(distant screaming)
(screaming stops)
They're gone.
(sonar beeping)
We're next.
We're all gonna die
out here.
It's coming right for us!
He said it himself - this thing's
bigger than a bus!
Harpoons won't do anything!
You heard what it did
to the other boat!
- Calm down, Jordy.
- But it going to kill us, man!
It's just gonna pick us off
one by one!
Jordy!
Got a Plan B?
Got any electrical wire?
Could rig somethin' up.
Do it.
Alright - attach both wires
to this harpoon,
but wait 'till we cut
the electricity first.
Gunnar, can you get that engine
up and running? We have to!
Jordy, grab that spot and run to
the stern. If you see anything, yell.
It's about to get dark back here.
A charge through this cable from
the engine battery and my generator...
...should build up enough amps
to fry that thing.
Get ready!
We're shutting down!
Got a knife?
You ready for this?
Are you?
You can't kill what you
can't see.
How's it working?
It's the gear box.
- Can you fix it?
- Yeah
There!!
It's coming!!
Dan - how are we doing
over there!
Not yet!
Not ready yet!
Spider!!
Spider, look out!!
Dan!! Hurry!!
Dan!!
Spider!!
Aaaaaaahhhh!!
Spider!!
Aaaaahhhh!!
Got it!!
Great!
(engine starts)
Get these jumper cables
attached to the battery terminals.
Aaahh!!
Oh, God!!
Help me!!
God!! Help me!!
Aaaaahhhhh!!
Alright, we're good!
When it gets to the red
throw the switch.
Aaaaahhh!!
Wait for my signal.
We only get one shot at this.
Dan!! Dan!!
Going up!!
Not yet, Gunnar!!
Not yet! Wait!!
It's running!!
It's gonna blow!!
It's running!!
It's gonna blow!!
(hissing)
Gunnar, now!!
Spider? Jordy?
Gunnar...wait.
- You okay?
- I think so.
Thank you.
Harbor Master,
this is Freya - come in.
"Go ahead, Gunnar."
We're motoring into harbor.
We lost the Wiiskachaan.
Hey, Zach... do me
a favor, would you?
Call Jen - let her know I'm okay.
"Copy that."
Hey, Zach?
Tell her I love her, would you?
"Tell her yourself, Gunnar."
So, what's next for you...
Officer Tomas.
Um...I haven't really given
that much thought.
What about you, Doctor Leland -
what's next for you?
Absolutely...no idea.
- Well, I...
- I was...
I'm sorry.
That's okay
No, no you...
No, you...I'm sorry.
That's okay.
No, you.
