"Kid's already freaked about being here." "Man down, homes." "Let'wait to go get him." "Yeah, let's mess with him some !" "So lame." "Chill out, dude." "He's fakin'it." "I think I should go." "Zack, come on, let's go, man." " Phil !" " Go." "What are you screaming about ?" "Board, you little bitch !" "Screw the board !" "You get it !" "That board cost me 150 bucks." "Swim out and get it yourself." "What is your problem ?" "There was something in the water, dude." "This is the Coast Guard." "We're pulling alongside." "Pour out the beer." "Party's over." "You know what zero tolerance means ?" "It means you can take my boat ?" "No, it means I can take your dad's boat." "I'm dead." "You okay, dude ?" "I On the flight deck." "Let stand, well clear." "6-1-0, 6-1-0, spot five." "Everyone clear the way at spot five." "80-610, you're clear to disengage." "On the flight deck, let's stand all clear of spot five." "Cold enough for you, sir ?" "Where is it ?" "We found her..." "just listing in the waves." "It was sheer luck, really, that we found her at all." "The storm had blown it east." "You haven't tried to board it, have you ?" "We're under orders to wait till you arrive." "I'm not one to question orders, Dr. Cirko, but it seems ridiculous not to board." "Those men have got to be half starved." "I understand your concern, Admiral." "This is a special case." "You're damn right it's a special case !" "Lose track of a nuclear sub for 46 hours and, boom, it shows up 5,000 miles from where it went missing !" "Then Glisson sends me a civilian biologist !" "Evolutionary biologist, Admiral." "And you can take up any command issues with the White House." "I want those corpsman ready !" "All right, I want a compartment search." "Two by two." "Stay alert." "This is not a drill." "Repeat, this is not a drill." "Copy, sir, we're entering the ansit P.S." "Clear, sir." "Check that." "We're in the missile room." "Uh, copy that, you should be on your 12 by now." "Uh, place is absolutely desert." "There's nobody here." "We checked the reactor compartment, engineering spaces, nothing." "Horse crap." "We checked twice, sir." "Top to bottom, with infra-red." "What about main control ?" "That's what I was gonna tell you about, sir." "Nav system's fried." "Silicone in the chips melted." "Major electrical shorts in every system." "Like she was struck by lightning." "No one touches anything." "I want an accurate record." "Beijing, maybe." "Moscow doesn't have its act together to pull off a stunt like this." "You don't look too surprised." "I'm not." "I've been expecting it." "Jesse !" "Jesse, I don't hear the shower." "Come on !" "I'm not going." " We've already been through this, Jesse." " I don't see why you have to dive now." "Sweetie, I told you, this is the only time I can dive this year." "But Dad puts me to bed on time." "Are you saying that I don't put you to bed on time ?" "I'm just gonna stay here." "I'll be fine." "You can bribe me all you want." "I'm not gonna bribe you." "I'm gonna break you." "If you don't get ready for your dad's," "Melvin will lose an ear." "You wouldn't." "Okay, okay !" "You win !" " Thank you." " This time." "I love you." " And while you're there, go get my silk blouse." " I don't have time to go to the dry cleaners." "What, do you think I've got time ?" "Nice work, butt hole." "You and your slack friends." "Leave me alone, cow." "Two words : community college." "Savannah, leave your brother alone !" "He was harassing me, Mother !" "Mom, I'm going out with Greg on Friday." "Straight home after school." "You're in the dog house, my friend." "Today begins a new regime." "What do you say, big guy ?" "Keep your girlfriend away from me." "She's not my mom." "I didn't teach him to say that." "He's a lot like you, Dee." "I like to think he got his bad habits from you." "Look, I'm not gonna start, okay ?" "No claws, see ?" "Okay." "Um..." "I'll be back on Wednesday." "If he doesn't feel like eating, try some of those microwavable pizza pockets." "And bedtime's been upped by 15 minutes." "I'm sorry." "He conned me." "I've got him, Dee." "Don't worry." "Have a great trip." " I'll see you next week." " Yep." " Be safe." " Always." "All right, y'all." "Here we go." "All part of a day's work." "Hey, now, look." "We got a little lemon butter and garlic to go with it." "If you need it, we got some tartar sauce, okay ?" "Hell, you wouldn't think three could kill eight cases in nine hours, huh ?" "Huh ?" "Well, shoot, not when one of'em's Bug." "I hear that." "Hey... to my little bro's first rig dive, huh ?" "Cheers." "We'll have a good time tomorrow, buddy, whoo-ee." "Yep, slaying'em tomorrow." "What ?" "It's my Cajun wetsuit." "You see, I get in the water and I'm invisible." "They never see me comin'." "Come on, bubba." "Cheers." "Okay, I got the benthic spectrometer, extra syringes, dry ice, blank tapes for the video feed, extra sweater..." "Andy, what would I do without you ?" "So are you nervous, Dee ?" "Nervous ?" "Why would I be nervous ?" "I mean, more people have been to the moon than the hot vents." " You're a genius." " Ah, Andy." " I just make sure your shoes are tied." " I'm telling your mother." "Hey, Doc, good to see ya." "Welcome aboard." "Four years." " You ready ?" " Better be." " Come on, I'll walk you up." " Okay." "That what it looked like, dude ?" "Kind of." "Not really." "Was it like an otter, like a lizard ?" "No, it wasn't an otter." "It had a blow hole." "Look, Savannah, the Halfling can read." "I read when it's interesting." "Heard about your little stunt, by the way." "Ye, Daahally threw the book at him." "Six weeks, no phone, no I.M., straight home after school." "Least your parents care enough to ground you." "That is so sad." "I'm trying to make him feel better, idiot." "Don't you two have glee club or something ?" " We just wanted to see what was so interesting." " Nothing, spezmorph." "Give it !" ""1734, off the south coast of Greenland, a six-headed sea serpent was spotted. "" "Give it back !" "Wow, you are deranged." "Look, you wanna read about the Sasquatch, that's fine." "But remember, we're brother and sister." "You reflect on me." "A'ight, so pay attention." "I was born paying attention." "Just watch out for thermal drafts." "Don't get near the wash of the vents." "Got it, Barry." "Like the first 50 times in the simulator." "It pays for me to be remedial with you." "Now, don't get cocky dow there." " Healthy fear, I know." " It's your funeral." "Belongs to the Navy, you know." "You break it, you bought it." "Got it." "Mystic descending, and we are at 500 feet." "We are now at 2,300 feet." "3,000 feet." "All right, let's get into the intro." "Ready when you are, Dee." "This is Dr. Laura Daughtery on board the Mystic submersible." "in the midst of a descent to the San Juan de Fuca plate." " She's gonna do fine." " I know" "We'll collect biological samples to support the theory that the hotbed ecosystem is the origin of life on the planet." " Okay, I wait at 5,000 feet." " All right, keep on that heading." "It's nice up close." "Okay, bottom sighted." "It's the hot vent ecosystem." "Look at that thing." "It's flourishing down here." "I mean, there's tube worms, Pompeiis, and spider crabs." "Water temperature's up to 417." "And it's rising as we near the vents." "You guys getting anything weird on radar ?" "Uh, negative, Mystic." "We..." "Wait." "Check that." "We're picking up a blip off starboard." "Wait." "Uncheck that." "Screen's clear." "What's going on ?" "Mystic, camera two is picking up some kind of feedback." "Everything checking out down there ?" "Did you see that ?" "Did you guys see that ?" "See what, Mystic ?" "I saw a light." "No, Mystic, that's a negative on the light." "Something just swam by the aft porthole." "Something with a light." "Well, Mystic, we're not seeing anything up here." "So, uh, what do you say we get back to the program ?" "Are you seeing this ?" "Better..." "I'm recording this." "Craters." "A field of them." "The depth gauge is falling off the chart." "8-8,000... 8,500." "Wait... wait, something's wrong." "It's fluctuating." "It's-it's..." "It's-it's, um..." "Something's coming up." "Mystic, come again." "We didn't copy that." "I said something's coming up." "Chouest, something's coming up." "Ohh, Doug !" "What was that ?" "Oh, my God." "Mystic, we lost video." "Come in, Mystic." "Do you copy ?" "Come in, Mystic." "I repeat." "Mystic, this is Chouest." "Do you copy ?" "This is Mystic to Kellie Chouest." "Copy ?" "One o'clock !" "God, it came out... came out of this hole." "It was... it was huge." "It made a "rrrr"... it made this noise." " Russians." "New class of boats." " No, it wasn't a submarine." "It was..." " Barry, listen." " Methane gas." "Well, light was refracted." "I was at 5,000 feet." "Tectonic shift, maybe." "It was like a jet, but it was deeper." "It was so loud." "Describe the anatomy." " Big." " How big ?" "Bigger than the throw from the spots." " Giant squid ?" " I saw a pectoral fin." "Living fossil, like a coelacanth, Eocene whale." "No coelacanth, no Eocene." "This wasn't part of any phylum or any sub grouping." "Very seriously." "This could be what we've been working for." "A higher mammalian species." "Come on." "Wait, wait, let..." "Let me just say this out loud and just see how it plays." "This morning, you saw a sea monster." "Yeah." "ID, please." "Possible biologicals, bearing 190." "These are the last recorded moments from the box." "Open outer doors !" "Arm the torpedoes." "Copy." "Object accelerating, sir, 2,000 yards and counting." "What is it ?" "Alec !" "You gotta see this !" "Symmetrical scarring on the hull." "A bite mark." "Hey, man, where'd you put my tackle box ?" "It's over there by the bilge well." "What's the tackle box in the bilge well for ?" "Where is it ?" "Huh ?" "What ?" "Holy..." "Oh, ho, ho, me." "Cross grain muzzle too." "Man, you didn't." "I did." "Shoot." "Man, how'd you know what to get ?" "Trace helped me out a bit." "Man, you I didn't know you had that type of disposable income, bro." "I don't." "Oh, little brother." "Really." "Thank you, bro." "Thank you, brother." "You got it." "Ah, you little jackass." "You just put the heat on for Christmas, that's for sure." "You got that right, brother." "Whoo-wee !" "Wake up." "Wake up !" "It's 3 :00 a. m." "Get out of bed, you puny human." " Spotlight ?" " Check." " Fish finder ?" " Yep." "Bait ?" "Oh, yeah." "How far do you think the bay is ?" "A couple miles." "Scene of the crime." "This is so bad-ass." " If my parents find out, I'm grounded 'til 50." " They won't find out." "We're in stealth, dude." "Or a shark with, like, all these, like, neat, scary skills." "Or a dinosaur that's left over." "You ever read about the Jersey Devil ?" "It was a pseudopod that, like, absorbed three people in Teaneck, New Jersey." "No bodies ever recovered." "Maybe likesit whole wheat..." "Shh !" "Dude, it's a bird." "Yeah, I'm gonna help it." "It's... it's ave." "It's stuck in something, dude." "Free bird, dude." "What was that junk he was in ?" "Weirdness." "Eggs ?" "Sure your parents won't notice ?" " They don't notice me half the time." " All right." "Just, uh..." "Try to get it in the coliseum." "Total ?" ", dude !" "I'll tell you, little brother, I've been diving all over the world." "But... when it comes to quantity and size, nuttin' compares to the rigs." "100-pound AJs, 300-pound jewfish." "Oh, yeah, commonplace." "Say, what kind of diving you said you done ?" "Uh, I did some snore, along my honeymoon." "Ohh." "Well, then, buddy, you're a regular expert !" "All right, buddy, now when you get down there, and you see that trophy grouper 50 feet below you, don't forget, check your depth." "Don't get all excited and forget how deep you are." "Don't want you going all warm and fuzzy on us." "All right ?" "How long you say we're gonna be down there ?" "Three beer." "I crack a fourth one, I know to send a search party." "That's right." "All right, buddy." "You ready ?" "We gonna do this, man." "You pumped ?" " All right, let's do it." " You pumped ?" "!" " Yeah" "We comin baby." "Richie, what are you doing ?" "Richie !" "What the hell you doing ?" "Rich !" "Earth to Elrod." "We're gonna be late." "What's going on here ?" "Oh, gee." "Hi there." "Ma'am, this is a restricted area" "No, I work here." "I'm going to need an ID, ma'am." "Sir, we have an ID number :" "Ivan-0-0-0-2-0-7" "Where they taking the Mystic ?" " It's been confiscated as part of the inquiry." " What inquiry ?" "That's classified, ma'am." "Andy, what's going on ?" "I don't know what the hell's going on, Dee." "Barry's inside." "Barry, what's going on ?" "U.S. Ocean and Atmo." "One guy said he's from the Pentagon." "I been here since 6:00, and I still don't know a damn thing." "They got warrants and subpoenas." "And, Daugherty, Alexander Cirko's here." "Berkeley Alex Cirko ?" "Recluse Alex Cirko." " Is he all right ?" " He will be, he will be." "They got him in the deco chamber now, okay ?" "He was pretty knocked up." " Okay..." "I wanna see him." " Okay" "Girls, stay right there, okay ?" "Hey." "Lockey came down." "He's doing runs in his Cessna." "And..." "Bug's got half the boats in the marina out at the gulf." "Everybody's doing everything they can." "Something got him, Trace." "I know I should... have done something." "No." "Oh, no, hon." "You can't do that to yourself." "I should have done something." " Any headaches since the encounter ?" " No." "Numbness in the left side of the face or torso ?" "No." "After you encountered these, uh, mysterious holes." "I've been answering your questions for three hours." "Did you see any brightly colored lights ?" "Yes." "My turn." "Who are you people ?" "Scientists, like you." "You know, I know who you are." "Alexander Cirko, from Berkeley." "That was a long time ago." "They kicked you off the faculty because you..." "I found working in academia to be counterproductive." "Ah, and who ys the bills now ?" "A mix of private and... public concerns." " If we could continue." " No, no more." "Not until you tell me what you know, and then, like scientists, we collaborate." "That's impossible, Doctor." "Why is that ?" "Because the institute's research programs have been suspended indefinitely." "What ?" "The facility's now under the jurisdiction of the U.S. armed forces." "We'll need you to sign some things before you go." "I'm not signing anything." "I was the one that saw it." "Alone, at 5,000 feet !" "I was the one that saw it in a disabled submersible." "A new vertebrate !" "If I could have a word alone, please." "I empathize with your position." "I recognize that you had a profound experience." "You have kids, Doctor ?" "No." "I had one at 21." "You put yourself through school ?" "I won a series of fellowships." "I worked my way through." "And wanna know how ?" "I waited tables four nights a week to pay for tuition and daycare." "We are not on the same planet." "So don't try to empathize with me." "I worked my ass off to get here." "And I deserve to be a part of this." "Endangered species... don't deserve to be on the brink of extinction." "But they are." "You are a marine biologist." "You of all people must know that life... isn't fair." "Call Kayla." "She's a gas." "She just got married, too, and I hear he's Scottish or Irish or something." "Where are all the fish ?" "Yes !" "Yes, I'll bring wine." "Red or white ?" "What are you serving ?" "Oh..." "I'll bring a beautiful bottle of white." "Nono, if, ou're serving fish, you have to serve white." "Well..." "Nance residence." " It hatched." " Get over here." "Miles, can you come here for a second, please ?" "I'm going to have to call you back." "How many times have I told you not to eat in the living room ?" "What's going on in there ?" "Rosie, we got a mess in here !" "Stop barking !" "Make yourself useful !" "Go get Miles !" "Miles !" "James !" "What do you want ?" "It's..." "It's kind of embarrassing." "Dad's hogging the downstairs." "You are disgusting, you know that ?" "Hey." "It's okay." "Elrod." "Elrod ?" "Is everything... movin' okay in there ?" "I..." "I feel sick." "Is that my hairdryer ?" "I didn't say you could use that !" "I hate it when you use my stuff !" "What is going on in there ?" "!" "You are disgusting, you know that ?" "Just a second !" "I'm gonna go get Mom." "I'm counting to three." "That's it." "One... two... three." "Mom, he's using my hairdryer and he's hogging the bathroom !" "You're late !" "I know, I know." "Sorry." "But... something happened." "Something amazing." "You're late !" "I didn't teach him to do that." "Dad, this is..." "You're not..." "You're not listening." "This is not some sort of a setback." "Okay ?" "This is..." "I don't even know." "Or if I can get back into the institute." "They've completely confiscated all of my research, Dad." "That means all." "All of the dive tapes and everything." "Mom, I'm bored." "Sweetie, I'm talking to grandpa." "Can you just go inside and watch TV or something ?" "Dad, listen," "I'm not being unreasonable, but you have to understand that..." "Teach men to adapt themselves to some new world of the future." "Leonard first saw the carcass while walking his dog on a pre-dawn stroll Friday morning." "And since then, local and state health officials are wondering what to do..." "Mom !" "Mom !" "Mom !" "What ?" "!" "Jesse, what, what ?" "There it was, just lolling in the water." "It gave me quite a shock." "Frankly, a whale carcass is a public health hazard." "Something of this size could contaminate the water table, kick-start a red tide." "We've taken precautionary measures." "Cordoned off the beach until the carcass can be dealt with." "Shut down US 17, cut down on the looky loos." "We've got to look out for the interests of the public at large, you know ?" "Authorities claim that the decomposed carcass is a sperm whale that died at sea and drifted to..." "Dad, I'm gonna call you back." "However, some locals are less sure." "So, what do you think it is ?" "Well, isn't that obvious ?" "It's Moby Dick." "Whatever it is, whew !" "It stinks." "In Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, I'm Marilyn Prickett." "You believe me, right ?" "I'm..." "Of course I do." "I just..." "I'm trying to understand." "Well, honey, I'm trying to understand too, you know ?" "Shh, you're gonna wake up the kids." "Oh, screw waking up the kids, baby." "Something happened to me." "I know you believe that." "Don't treat me like I'm crazy." "No, no, I didn't say you were crazy." "I..." " Honey, you were knocked." " No !" "I was clear as a bell !" "You were unconscious when Bug found you." "Hon, I don't think you were in your right mind when..." "What ?" "When what ?" "When George drowned." " George did not drown !" " Something happened... and you were knocked... and he drowned." " No." " That's it." "That's all that happened." " It was an accident." " Look, you know..." "I don't know how else to put this." "I'm just asking you to believe me." "I am trying." "I..." "I just don't understand why you're driving to South Carolina." "So I can convince myself..." "that it wasn't my fault." "Okay." "Charleston, South Carolina, that's right." "As early as possible." "All right, let me check the computer for you, ma'am." "Um, do you have anything tonight ?" "Um, let me see here." "We do have one." "It's a connecting flight for one passenger." "Is that all right ?" "Um, you better make that two tickets." "All right." "Ladies and gentlemen, there is some evidence that this is simply a natural phenomenon." "This was recovered near the sighting in South Carolina." "The tooth has no known antecedent in the fossil record." "It is as if it just fell from the sky."
