"It's heaven on earth here." "I may never come home, Donald." "Hey, they think my fee's too high, tell them to get another malpractice attorney." "Hey, Mom!" "Mommy's working, honey." "There's monsters in the water." "I'm not the one who left the reticulator cartridge in Mr. Adam's-- Mom!" "Hang on a second." "What is it, honey?" "You know, the kind you eat." "The calla..." "Calamari?" "Yeah, that--that's it." "Put that do" "Put that down." "Where did you get that?" "Over there." "Can I keep it?" "You like your new home, boy?" "Watch this." "I've been working with him." "Go." "Nice." "Let me try." "Let me try." "Last goldfish." "He's eating me out of house and home." "Hey, you got any money?" "If I had any money, would I be hanging with you?" "Maybe we can advertise him like a monster truck rally." "Nimrod, Nimrod, Nimrod!" "No." "Negative." "Not happening." "And chicks, man." "Chicks did anything with big round eyes." "Something they can cuddle." "Uh, news flash." "He's a secret." "Think about it." "Who wouldn't pay to see this?" "Go!" "Oh, man." "They have to understand, the species has burrowed into the Lithosphere..." "That will mean nothing." "bringing hot magma to the surface." "There is evidence of undersea eruptions." "The heating of the world's oceans, which in turn is affecting the gulf stream." "You know that unequivocally?" ""Know" is a strong word." "Well, have you captured one?" "You know we haven't." "Do you know the extent of the species?" "49 sightings in less than five months." "Is the species a product of evolution, hibernation?" "Is it from here?" "Is it from somewhere else?" "We are eliminating possibilities every day." "My point is, don't go talking about how the sky's falling till you have a way to back it up with proof." "Theory won't cut it." "Ladies and gentlemen," "Dr. Aleksander Cirko." "This, ladies and gentlemen, is a northern snakehead." "Native to China, it's distinguished by its small head, large mouth, big teeth, and, uh, its ability to walk on land." "The snakehead can survive out of the water." "It has a particularly voracious appetite." "Since its accidental introduction into the Potomac River, it has decimated the local fish stocks and tipped the river's ecosystem." "It is what is known as an invasive species." "But another invasive species has emerged into the world's ocean." "A species unknown to science." "A species I have been appointed to investigate." "This is what we know." "The animal has a confirmed length of over 200 feet." "There have been 49 sightings as far north as the Bering Strait and as far south as the Cape of Good Hope." "The species is an omnivore, feeding on everything." "From blue pointer sharks to killer whales to possibly human beings." "It is my opinion that if left unchecked, the species will throw the marine ecology off its axis." "Where does it come from?" "Its origin is unknown." "Its consequences are not." "(Tracy) Rich." "Did you just have another?" "Yeah." "George?" "Yeah." "He's not dead." "(man) Well, a radiologist looked at your MRI, Rich, and so did I." "(Rich) Okay." "There's no evidence of concussion from the accident." "No brain hemorrhage." "No infarction." "No plaque that might indicate MS." "No tumors." "Okay." "Which is?" "Well, no brain tumor's always good news." "So I'm okay?" "Physically, yes." "Why don't you tell me about your experiences." "My experiences?" "Tracy tells me you keep reliving the accident." "Dr. Davey thinks you might have" "Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome." "And how long have you all been talking about me?" "I've talked to him once or twice over the last two days." "You don't believe me." "Look, Doc, this ain't no syndrome, okay?" "This is real." "My brother is trying to talk to me." "What makes you think your dead brother's trying to get in touch with you?" "Faith." "This calamari is breaded." "Yes." "Uh, fried calamari." "Well, I assumed that it would be pan fried." "Right." "Yes, and I would like melted, organic butter." "Uh, yes, ma'am." "Uh, one debreaded calamari, one hand-melted, board certified, culture-free butter." "Come on, Miss PhD, you got a pickup." "Ugh." "Can I get a pan-fried calamari and a yuppie butter?" "Explain how this works." "I say push the squid, you say yes, sir." "Clean it up." "I usually like my calamari pan fried." "Do you know how much squid the Amber 5 caught today?" "Almost two tons." "Jerry said the ocean's full of them." "Startin' to skeeve me out." "Whales, Jackson." "Whales feed on squid." "Tons and tons of squid." "Except they're not." "Either these whales' migrations have been so disrupted that they're avoiding their normal feeding grounds or something's feeding on them." "Remember that pod of grays that I was studying?" "Not taking you whale hunting." "This time of year, they're right off the Farallones, like clockwork." "I need to track a whale by satellite." "If--If--If I can do that, then I can finally find out what they're running from." "Process, D. I said no." "I've got tapes." "I've got low end whale calls on tape--a transducer." "We can just call them in." "Plus, Jackson, you're the only person I know with a large enough boat." "And yes, I admit it," "I'm totally using you." "You think you can just show up here, convince me to chum a whole day and night, and spent a tankful of diesel just so you can go out and play Captain Ahab?" "Yes." "I like your style." "Mutant?" "(Miles) Help you with something?" "Yeah." "Is this all you got?" "You owe me." "$80 plus tax for the jewelry box you and slimy broke." "Not you." "His other slimy." "Oh that." "Yeah." "Why didn't you say so?" "Thank you." "Little creep." "That was some Valentine's gift you gave Greg." "Can you imagine what Mom and Dad would think if the originals just fell in their hands?" "And the money." "You're going down." "Buh-bye." "Have a nice day." "Pharmacist said this is going to make you feel less anxious, okay?" "Oh, I don't want that." "Well, you don't get to want it, hon." "The doctor said it would help." "You need to take it." "Honey, how many times I gotta tell you," "George is trying to communicate with me." "I gotta be able to listen." "Honey, come on." "Come on." "Let's put that away, okay?" "Let's go." "You and I will play a game." "All right, kid, game tie." "Count full." "You got a threat to steal at first." "Curve." "You don't have the control." "Give them your money pitch." "Fastball high and tight." "What?" "(man) Last month, our first weather balloon came down in a soybean field in Nebraska." "Since then, we've lost 30." "Most recently in Muncie." "It dropped 50 degrees in the Mojave last night." "The jet streams moved 100 miles north." "Meanwhile, I got a frozen lake in Manitoba that melted in about two days." "Oh, yeah." "Look at this." "Based on water, temps are up almost two degrees." "That's not seasonal." "It's not even regional." "I mean, in every ocean, every reading we have." "Greenhouse effect." "This can't be explained atmospherically." "And you know it's coming from the deep ocean, your neck of the woods." "(Cirko) Thank you, Brad." "If you would send the rest of your data here-- all of it--I have a federal emergency order." "That's okay." "I trust you." "Just tell me where you think this thing is going." "Straight to Hell." "And you'd go out with him." "He's not even a quarterback." "I don't care, he's cute." "I have a question." "Do you think Phil is cute?" "Chill out, Nim." "Some patience." "Amber Lou will never be interested in you." "She's a sophomore." "A hot sophomore." "I-I know you're hungry, Nim." "I'm working on it." "What's the worst that can happen?" "He starves to death?" "Not him." "Me." "Amber could do a lot worse than me." "A lot worse." "'sup ladies?" "Amber, do you smell something?" "Oh, hi, Phil." "Meow." "So, Amber, you like pets, don't you?" "Uh-huh." "'Cause me and my boy, we got something phat up at the crib." "What?" "Secret." "Gotta check it out for yourself." "But I'll tell you this, it'll eat a goldfish right out... of Miles' hand." "How is Miles?" "He's good." "Real good." "Why you wanna know?" "I think he's cute." "Barf." "I do." "Well, hey, then, I gotta jet." "You should definitely come over some time." "Definitely." "Tell Miles I said hi." "I have insurance, don't I?" "And it covers the plumbing." "Yes, ma'am." "But only if you use accredited plumbers, Mrs. Balkim." "I've been paying my insurance 42 years." "I understand." "Just show me where the extent of the damage is, okay?" "It's over here in the side yard." "See for yourself." "It's a nightmare." "What?" "What?" "[shouting] What?" "In what?" "Believe in what?" "Mr. Connelly?" "Everything all right?" "Mr. Connelly?" "Mr. Connelly?" "They should be here." "Mothers and calves usually come pretty close to shore." "Wait." "There." "There." "Let me see." "It's driftwood." "I don't understand." "These whales got to get down to Baja to breed." "I haven't seen a single orca or dolphin this entire trip." "They're usually chasing my bow." "Daughtery." "What?" "What happened here?" "Rabbit traps?" "I can't afford to keep buying Nim's food so I'm gonna start catching it." "Rabbit bait." "[humming Dueling Banjos]" "Dude, talked to Amber." "Told her she ought to check out Nim some time." "What?" "Dude, she's into it." "She loves pets." "She's got that little dog, what's its name?" "You sold out Nim so you could get with Amber Lou?" "Dude, rewind." "She's interested in you." "I know," "I didn't believe it either." "That's not the point." "We can't share Nim." "Whoa, dude." "We're 14 years old." "We have to chase girls." "That's our job." "That doesn't mean" "I'm not letting you go all Willard on me, okay?" "You need to get to first base with a non-amphibian." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to see if any of them are still alive." "Do the words "shark bait" mean anything to you?" "This wasn't a shark that did this." "Okay, how's that?" "The way it's torn in half from below." "Probably a killer whale or something." "Okay, that's it." "This boat leaves in 60 seconds." "Or maybe a school of predators, parents teaching their young to feed." "Daughtery." "I think I'll stay in the boat." "Great idea." "Jackson, come on." "Come on." "We can't let it get away." "Hang on to something." "I said hang on" "I've got to document this." "Stop." "Stop." "Stop the engines." "I don't think he likes being chased." "You're not out here looking for whales, are you?" "Nothing." "Daughtery, hey." "You all right?" "It's been a long day." "Fools." "They don't see what is right before them." "I understand there are caveats." "But what's worst case scenario?" "The earth sustains geological and meteorological cataclysms on a scale not seen since the Old Testament." "These are men that deny the greenhouse effect." "Is that how you intended to silence me, by requiring proof?" "No." "That's how I intend to help you." "[TV playing cartoon]" "Hey, girls." "Hey, guess what Daddy got for you." "What'd you bring us, Daddy?" "Fireworks?" "Yeah." "Come on, let's go shoot 'em." "Come on." "Let's go." "Let's go." "There it goes." "Yoo!" "Here comes the 4th of July!" "Here comes another." "Aaaah ha ha ha." "Isn't this awesome, girls?" "Hello." "Wait a minute." "I can't hear you." "Thanks." "I appreciate that." "Don't let the yellow smoke get on you." "It's gonna burn your skin." "Everybody else having to work, we get to have fun." "Yeah!" "Heather, Emily, in the car right now." "Huh?" "What?" "Why?" "What's the matter?" "Planning on telling me that you lost your job?" "Oh, honey, no." "It's medical leave." "There's nothing wrong." "Everything's fine." "Dad, you got fired?" "No." "How are we going to live, Rich?" "Huh?" "Why will you just not take your medicine?" "Because I'm not sick." "Healthy people do not hallucinate, Rich." "You needed to take it." "No, I don't." "Fine." "Forget it." "Girls." "In the car right now." "Baby." "Come on, now." "You're overreacting, honey." "No, I've made up my mind, okay?" "When you can call me and tell me that you are the sane, happy, fun guy that I married, I will be back." "But I am." "I am that funny good man." "I'm just clearer." "You are not." "You are completely in denial." "And I cannot live like this." "Baby, please, Tracy." "Listen, I'm sorry." "All right?" "I won't do it anymore." "Just please, stop." "Honey, please." "I'm right here." "What are you going to do?" "You going to run me over?" "The girls are right there." "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "You're overreacting a little bit." "Don't you think you're" "What are you doing?" "Hey, can I ride back there with you?" "No, Heather, you can't." "Close the window." "Honey,why are you doing this?" "You don't have to do this." "We can talk this out." "I love you." "He loves you, Mom." "Please just get out of the truck." "Honey." "Oh, that's real good, honey." "In front of our kids, huh?" "(Jackson) We're lucky I have batteries and bulbs." "Yeah, Jackson, we're going out to look for some whales." "Big, dumb, docile." "It'll be mellow." "If I had told you, you wouldn't have believed me." "No." "And I wouldn't have gone either." "Sit here." "Light, please." "Yeah." "Can you turn" "Yeah." "No, I am." "The pulse torched the contacts." "Freakin' slag." "The ignition wires are fused together." "If I can separate them and jury-rig something," "I may be able to get her started." "There's not much we can do until morning." "2:00." "Where?" "No, no." "Sorry." "Never mind." "I'm zonked." "Oh, Jeez." "We could--we could sleep in shifts." "We could." "Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?" "All-in-all, I'm taking this pretty well." "You coaxed me in my boat on a snipe hunt for a dinosaur then you suggest we sleep in shifts." "Hey." "Ground rules." "I know." "I get it." "I just want to be your friend." "That was a one time thing." "I was coming out of a divorce." "Just a rebound." "No problem." "I can play that part." "That thing was huge tonight." "Four times bigger than the boat." "If only you didn't have to eat a lot of food." "What?" "Nothing." "I was just, um..." "Nothing." "Phil tells me you guys have a pet." "Well, uh..." "Yeah." "I'm really into animals." "Biology's my best subject." "Me too." "But you haven't taken it yet." "Um, yeah." "Yeah." "Well, I-I just" "I meant that I'm looking forward to it, you know, next year when I'm in your grade." "Well, if you have any problems, just give me a call." "Mr. Mirasko's a real tool." "So you think maybe I could come over to Phil's later, see your new bud?" "Uh, I'm not so sure that's a good idea." "You know what our problem is?" "Language." "I mean, how many misunderstandings and fights and wars get started because human beings say the wrong thing at the wrong time, you know?" "Whereas animals, they can't talk." "Which means they can't lie." "They don't play games." "Sometimes I think my dog understands me better than my parents." "Um, my pet, uh, Nimrod, he can be kind of jumpy." "That's okay." "We don't have to take him for a walk or anything." "How about 5:00?" "I'd like that." "If I see anything," "I'm going to pull, okay, like that." "And then you come up fast." "Do you hear me?" "Um, I'd like to have every possible second I could to avoid being eaten." "YeahI know." "All right?" "Ready?" "I'm already shrinking." "Don't think too long." "All clear?" "All clear." "Jackson." "Jackson, get back in the boat." "Get back in the boat." "What?" "Come on, come on, come on." "What, what, what?" "Did you see it?" "Did you see it?" "Shoot." "No." "Sorry." "God." "Sorry." "I got scared." "I got scared." "You want the good news or the bad news?" "Good news." "I found the problem." "Okay." "Bad news." "I can't fix it." "The engine's working, but the prop is busted." "We sheared the key on the shaft." "It has to be replaced." "My hands are too big." "Mine aren't." "You're not going in there." "Why not?" "Because you're..." "That's what I thought." "Okay, line." "Line." "Okay." "Watching?" "Watching." "You got it?" "Not yet." "One more." "You sure that-- It's not tight yet." "You got it?" "Sssh!" "Get in h-- What?" "What?" "It's right under my feet." "Daughtery." "Daughtery!" "Daughtery." "Throw me the" "Throw me the" "No." "The GPS." "GPS!" "No!" "Do it." "Well, I sure like what you got done with the place here." "Trace sent me out, uh, check up on you." "Should I just, uh, tell her you, uh, losing your grip?" "I ain't saying you ain't had no problem." "They used to say to us in high school before the game" ""going gets tough..."" ""The tough get going."" "That's some dumb-ass thing." "Yeah, sure did fire us up though, didn't it?" "You mind I ask you one question?" "Hmm?" "What makes you so special?" "Huh?" "What makes you so special that you get to talk to your dead brother and no one else gets to?" "You know, I miss my grandmother." "But I don't get to talk to her none." "I don't expect you to understand." "Now--now that--that you got right, boy." "You got a family." "And they love you." "Them two baby girls, they need you, boy." "You got a choice you got to make, bud." "I gotta go back." "Like to be on record of saying it's a bad idea." "One of your worst." "Here's a little something." "If that big son of a bitch shows up." "(Miles) There's just a few basic rules." "Don't look at it straight in his eyes." "Um, don't get too close to the edge." "And, uh, and, well, you don't happen to have any battery operated devices on you, do you?" "Just Kutcher." "Go Kutch." "Oh, we should probably put her on a leash." "Oh, I don't believe in that." "Okay." "Um...sure." "Oh, yeah." "And--and don't-- don't bare your teeth." "No smiling?" "Not at him." "Ooh, he sounds feisty." "You'll protect me?" "Absolutely." "I just wanted to say I think it's really cool that you trust me enough to bring me here." "Not a lot of guys would've done that." "Well, you're welcome." "I think openness is very attractive." "Is something-- something wrong?" "No, no, no." "I brushed." "I swear." "It's okay." "I'm sorry, guys, I can't do this." "You really think she liked you?" "Her last boyfriend was in college." "But really, I'm glad you brushed." "(Amber) Can we get out of here now?" "Our work is done." "Kutch." "Here's Kutchi." "Kutchi-koo, let's go." "Ah!" "Kutchi!" "Talk to me, George." "I'm here." "Right where it happened." "Listen... if there's something that you're trying to tell me or something I need to know, then just come on with it." "Please, just tell me..." "something." "All right, George." "Here I am." "Now you gotta tell me what you want me to do." "All right?" "You gotta tell me what you want me to do." "(Laura) Where's the signal?" "Where'd it go?" "Damn EMI filter." "Well, you said it was working, right?" "Will you shut up?" "Sorry." "I've got a six-channel chip set, a cigarette adapter from a '93 Saab, and a very rich yacht owner who's gonna be pissed when he goes looking for his NAV-- Look." "There it is." "There it is." "It's about 200 miles offshore." "We're getting longitude and latitude." "Signal active at 30-second intervals and I'm recording." "My God." "What?" "Traveled 80 miles in half an hour." "Stabilizing our feed." "Boom, locked in!" "Long as your tag battery lasts," "I think we got him." "Do you know what this means?" "We can track its feeding patterns, dive time, range, lung capacity." "Thank you." "Hey, Richie." "Here we go." "Have you got it figured out?" "Yeah, I think I do." "Well, I went back out to the rig." "It's the last place I saw him alive." "Got back in the water and asked George what he wanted from me." "Know what he said?" "Said what the hell you doing in the Gulf of Mexico?" "You know, they're asking the same question." "I'll gonna leave you to it." "Welcome back." "Thank you, Bubba." "Baby." "Hey." "It's me." "What's going on?" "Yeah, I'm back." "Mm-hmm." "Back to being me." "Well, just needed to get a little air." "You know." "Uh..." "Just went out... in a boat." "Yeah." "Baby, uh..." "I gotta call you back."
