(music continues)

- Dr. Prince, Dr. Prince,
I think I found something!

- All right.

Let's have a look.

- Definitely metal of some kind.

- [Dr. Prince] What do you got
here?

Yes, definitely more rusted.

Looks like some kinda gear.

I think you have discovered
part of the flywheel

of a 1970s French sports car.

(sighs) Hey, this
work takes time.

Hear that everybody?

Don't expect me to find the
Rosetta Stone on day one.

Day two, maybe.

All right, let's take
a lunch break, huh?

Archie should be back in
a minute with some pizzas.

- Pizza man is here.

- [Eric] Hey!

(Eric grunts)

- Right.

The big boss man was right
behind me rolling up the hill.

- Oh, Christ.

What does he want?

- We don't know.

Nothing good.

- [Dr. Prince] Mr. Collins,

to what do we owe the
pleasure of this visit?

- Some of my
colleagues on the board

are very concerned
about your work.

Your initial permit was
for exploration offshore,

and you continue to move inland.

- We've discovered patterns
of erosion by the beach here

that suggest that this
area was once under water,

or at least much
closer to the ocean.

Last week during our
underwater excavation,

we uncovered part
of a structure.

- What type of structure?

- An old one, Mr. Collins,

built by a very
old civilization,

dating back more
than 10,000 years.

Now, I don't know about you,

but I would think that would be

of some value to
your landowners.

- Well, certainly, if
you are successful.

If you're wrong, you're
just damaging our property

and potentially ruining
tourist attractions.

- Look, Mr. Collins, I
just need a few weeks.

If I don't find anything,
we'll pack it up.

Meanwhile, though, just
to put your mind at ease,

I'd be more than happy
to make another donation

to that foundation of yours.

- Excellent.

I would appreciate that.

I wish you luck, Dr. Prince.

(Eric smirks)

- Hey, I save you
some, Boss Man.

- Thanks.

- [Archie] What'd he want?

- [Eric] What do you think?

- Bribe money.

- Yep.

- Welcome to the Caribbean.

(pensive music)
(water splashing)

(music fades)

- Hey man, we need to
be headin' home soon.

- Just a bit longer.

This is right when they bite.

(reel ticking)

(grunts) Somethin' big.

- [Fisherman] Oh,
that's pullin' hard.

- It's a net.

- What is that?

Come on (grunts).

Get over here.

Are you seeing this?

(anticipatory music)

(water splashing)
(both grunting)

(music continues)

(music continues)

- This is better than a marlin.

Start the boat.

(Ferdy sighs)

- Ferdy.
- Hi, Eric.

What time is it there? It's
almost midnight here.

- Oh (throat clears), sorry.
- No, no, no problem.

I was up workin' late anyway.

How's it goin'?
- Good.

We're close, but we're
getting shooken down

by the landowners again.

- How much you need?

- 10K should get
'em off my back.

- Well, I promised I'd
match you dollar for dollar,

whatever you put up.

I'm a man of my word.

- Thanks.

All right, so I've
mapped it out based

upon the columns that we
found underwater, Ferdy.

It's a huge structure, a temple.

I expect they built a
church on top of it,

just like the sites
that we found in Turkey.

- Well, the writings you found
in that stone underwater

matched the ones we found in
Iraq.

They're similar to
the ones we found

in Wisconsin and the
caves in Iceland.

Now, according to Dr.
Rice, it's not exact,

but it's close enough
to make the point.

- Damn it, Ferdy, we are...

We are so close.

- Yeah, I know.

It's too bad Henry
wasn't here to see this.

- Yeah.

- All right, well, I'll
wire the money first thing

in the morning.

Now, take it easy out there.

I know island life can be rough

with all those beaches
and pina coladas.

- Oh no, you're right.

It's got its perks.

Why don't you come on out and
find out for yourself, bud?

- Well, find me
something concrete.

I'll be on the next flight.

- You got it.

I will.

(gentle music)

(Eric sighs)

(crickets chirping)

(Eric groaning)

(water splashing)

(groaning continues)

(water splashing)

(music continues)

(mermaid shrieks)
(dramatic music)

(Eric gasping)

What the fuck?

(knocking)

(Eric groans)

(Eric sighs)

Arch.

- Mornin', Boss Man.

You have a wild night
with the scotch?

- No.

It was rum.

- 10:30, time to
head to the dig site.

But first, Mr.
Taylor want a word.

- Mr. Taylor?

What does he want?

- Some favor.

He's up at the restaurant
waiting for you.

- Oh, all right.

Just tell him I'll be a minute.

I gotta brush my teeth, re-think
my life, shit like that.

- Take your time,
take your time.

Get it right.

- I have a situation and
I'm afraid you might be

the only person on the
island who could help.

- Yeah?

Be happy to help if I can.

What you got?

- Two days ago, a
European woman come

to my shop wanting
to sell some pieces.

I can appraise them based
on the gems and the weight,

but I suspect it may be more
historically significant

and have a much higher value.
- Hm.

- Let's take a look.

(anticipatory music)

- [Mr. Taylor] This
is what she brought.

- [Eric] Whoa!

- [Mr. Taylor] You
know what they are?

- These are Spanish gold coins

from the 17th century
and mint condition.

I would date this piece to
right around the same time.

Look (chuckles).

I've just never seen anything

from this era in this
good of condition before.

This woman, did she
(chuckles) discover

some buried treasure or find
a shipwreck or something?

- I don't know.

She's rather mysterious.

- Mr. Taylor, you're
gonna purchase

these items from this woman?

- [Mr. Taylor] I intend to.

- Okay (chuckles)...

No disrespect, Sir.

These pieces belong in a museum.

I mean, they're worth much,
much more historically

than just simply
their weight in gold,

historically speaking.

- Thank you.

- Do me a favor,

next time you see
this mystery woman,

can you tell her that I'd
like to meet with her?

I'll get her dinner.

I would really love to learn
if she has any more pieces

and where perhaps
she got them from.

- Of course.

You won't mind
spending time with her.

She's quite easy on the eyes.

(Eric chuckles)

- Even if she were a monster,

I would still like
a lunch or a dinner.

You make that
happen for me, bud?

- I'll pass along your request.

(light music)

- We definitely found
something today, Doctor.

- Yeah?

- [man] Mm hm.
- Good.

What is it?

- Human remains in some
sort of sarcophagus.

- (chuckles) Kurt,
a sarcophagus?

(chuckles) All right, let's
go see what it really is.

(anticipatory music)

I'll be damned.

Uh (chuckles)...

Good work, team.

Who discovered this?

- I did.

- Excellent work.

What'd I say about day two, huh?

I just need to see
when this guy is from.

- It looks like
he was mummified.

- Yes.

Good eye.

Agreed.

Not exactly common practice

amongst 17th century
English colonists.

What are you?

(anticipatory music)

There ya have it.
- [man] What is that?

- It's an idol of an
ancient pagan God.

We've seen these before in
Asia, Europe, Middle East,

but never, never anywhere
near this part of the world.

- Looks creepy.
What God is it?

- That would be Dagon,
an ancient Sea God

quite common in
Sumerian mythology.

- Does this mean I get an A?

- Oh, you guys,

you're all headin' for
the deans list after this.

Archie,

I need heavy machinery.

I need need bulldozers.

Are you writin' this down?

- Yeah.

- Skid-steer loaders.

I need excavators.

Everything.
We need to dig.

We need to dig 50
feet in the ground

and we need to do it like, now.

We need the boats.

We need the submarines back.
Now that we know that I'm right,

we have to get back
in that water, Archie.

We've gotta get back in there.
We have to keep exploring.

- It's not gonna be cheap.

- Archie, it doesn't
matter the cost.

This, this is one of
the biggest discoveries

in archeology since fucking
King Tut's treasure.

You know that guy?

Oh!

- Wait, hold on.

What about the landlord?

- You let me deal with him.
You...

I just want you focused
on getting the manpower,

getting the gear, getting
the pizzas, everything.

And get it to me like yesterday.

Oh, we could be famous!

You, you, Archie.

You're gonna be famous.

- I don't know what you mean,
but I believe you.

- I'm gonna tell you
Archie (chuckles),

whole scientific community,
they've always laughed at me.

Those mainstream academia
fucks were wrong, Archie.

And I, we,
we were right.

And now, now I may finally
have the proof (sighs).

- Wait, famous?

If I'm famous, does that
mean I can get a raise?

- Archie, of course.

Don't you get it?

Whatever you want.

Whatever you want.

Just get me that gear, okay?

- I'm on it, Boss.

Famous.

Really?

(upbeat music)

(music continues)

(music fades)

- I took your items
to a local expert

to determine their value.

He would like to meet you.

- What purpose?

- Just to discuss the
items you brought to me.

He's a professor of archeology.

- At a local university?

- No, he's from the States.

His school is in
Massachusetts, I believe.

- What business does
he have on this island?

- He's doing a dig.

He claims to have found an
ancient temple near the coast.

- Hm, how intriguing.

Where can I find this man?

- He's staying at the
Pink Hotel in the Bay.

Dr. Eric Prince.

- That name,

it's familiar to me.

- He's rather
notorious apparently.

Here we are.

Just sign here, here, and here,

and I can transfer the funds.

- Thank you.

- [Mr. Taylor] Wonderful.

- This painting is it for sale?

I'll say, I quite fancy it.

- For you?

Please, consider it a gift.

I'll have it packaged
and delivered to you.

- Thank you.

(mellow music)

(alcohol splashing)

- Yes, thanks.

- Hi, I'm here to meet
someone, a Miss Bey.

- She's already arrived.

Right this way.

(music playing)

- Dr. Prince.

- Miss Bey.

- Please, call me
Aurora, Doctor.

- Eric.

So, those pieces
that you sold were,

I mean, extraordinary.

How did you come by them,
if you don't mind me asking?

- Well, my father
was a collector.

I'm afraid I don't have
many sentimental feelings

about his old junk.

- Junk?

Wow (laughs)!

17th century Spanish gold,
wouldn't call that junk.

I was half expecting
you to tell me

you had stumbled across
a couple sunken ships

from the Spanish Armada.

- Sorry to disappoint, but
it's not that exciting.

- Well, you've caused quite
a stir on this little island.

- And why is that?

- Beautiful, mysterious,

wealthy woman shows up buying
property, no backstory.

You know, people
could start thinking

that you're some kinda criminal.

- And what do you
think, Dr. Prince?

Do I look like a
criminal to you?

- Well, I'm a terrible judge
of character, so maybe.

- Hm.

Well, lots of
people seem to think

that you are a criminal too.

- I see you've Googled me.

- Treasure hunter, grave robber.

- Yep.

I would say my personal favorite

is pseudo scientist grifter.

- Well, luckily for you,

I am an excellent
judge of character

and I don't think
you're a bad guy, Eric.

- Yeah?

- Thanks.
- I didn't say you're a

good guy either.

- Well, maybe I'm just
something in between.

- Exactly.

- Well, I hope you're
not allergic to seafood.

- (chuckles) Definitely not.

- So I said to him, "Are you
gonna fix the pipes or not?"

And he's like, "Well,
I'm a gentleman plumber."

And I'm like, "What's
a gentleman plumber?"

- No cracks?
- Yeah (laughs).

(mellow music)

- So, tell me more about
your treasure seeking.

- Well, it's not a
literal treasure.

It's much more.

I guess you can call it
a treasure of knowledge.

- Go on.

- On this island,

we recently discovered a temple,

temple belonging to
the ancient God Dagon.

That's a bit of mythology
that was thought

to be limited to places
in the Middle East.

- How can you be sure?

- We found compelling evidence.

I'm talkin' about
manuscripts, artifacts.

I mean, just today
we uncovered a crypt.

A really old one, inside
we found this stone idol.

- It must be worth a lot.

- What it really, really means,

I mean, this could prove
all of my theories.

It's a lot more valuable
than just money.

- Well, I should
think you're doing

a great service to mankind.

After all, you are
reeling and sharing

the treasures and
wisdom of the ancients.

- Yes, that's...

Exactly.

Thank you.

Are you sure
that we've never met before?

- I don't believe so.

- It's just you
look so familiar.

- Maybe I remind you of
someone from your past.

- No, no.

I've definitely never met
anyone like you before.

(gentle reflective music)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(dramatic music)

(water splashing)
(light music)

(boat horn blaring)

(speaking indistinctly)

- This is Azri.

He's gonna be taking
you out today.

- Hey, thanks for
takin' us out, bud.

- No thanks needed, man,
considering you

guys are payin' me.

- Kurt, how you doin', pal?

You ready for your first dive?

- Little nervous.

- [Eric] Don't be.

Once we get down there,

it'll feel completely natural.

- All right.
- Forward Zeki.

Okay, man, here we go.

(upbeat music)

(engine rumbling)

(music continues)

(music continues)

- [Eric] You know the spot?

- Hey, man, yeah,
I know the spot.

- [Eric] Get us as
close as you can.

- Man, I can't go too close
beyond those broken rocks.

They'll destroy my boat.

- [Eric] Understood.

(music continues)

- Boat is set.

Are you good?

- Let's go.

(water splashing)

(gentle mysterious music)

(singer vocalizing)

(music continues)

(vocalizing continues)

(both chattering)

- Sweetest?
- Sweetness.

- Sweet wine.

- Especially when them big
Japanese guy

out there shakin', boy?

- Oh, God.

(music continues)

(pensive music)

(music continues)

- (yelps) What
the fuck was that?

- [Archie] You good, Boss Man?

- Where's Kurt?

(water splashing)

- Wait, so what happened?

- It sounds crazy
to say but it...

It looked like a-

- A mermaid.

It was a mermaid.

- It was probably a dolphin.

- Dolphins don't have
red fuckin' hair.

It wasn't a dolphin
or a manatee.

Professor, you saw it?

- Whatever it was,

it was definitely something
I've never seen before.

We have to take a look at
what's on here immediately.

(water splashing)

- All right, SD card did load
up.

Let's take a look.

(pensive music)

- [Eric] There!

- Like I said, a
fuckin' mermaid.

I know what I saw, guys.

- I gotta say, Boss Man,

that does look like a mermaid.

- Yeah, I know what
it looks like, Archie.

(sighs) Fuck.

I'm already on thin ice with the
scientific

community as it is.

This is not gonna help.

- She saved our lives.

- Well, that is quite
the story, Eric.

I'll say, I don't think
I've ever been accused

of being a mermaid before.

- No, I'm not (chuckles)...

I'm not accusing you.

It's just there was a
resemblance, there was a photo.

It was just a bit uncanny.

I thought I would ask if
you were a fucking mermaid.

(Aurora chuckles)

- Well, I'm just surprised
that a man of science

would even entertain the
existence of mermaids.

- Look, I don't
believe in mermaids.

I don't believe in
mermaids, of course.

I just, I saw something
that I couldn't explain

and sort of knowing that there's

a lot of myths that
are rooted in facts.

I sound fucking crazy
right now, don't I?

I sound crazy.

- I suppose I
should be flattered.

Mermaids are
beautiful creatures,

at least according
to the legends.

- Actually, according to
legends, they also lead

unsuspecting
men to their deaths.

- I was flattered, but
maybe I should be insulted.

- No, no, I was kidding, okay?

I sound like a big, stupid-

- Eric, Eric, I'm teasing you.

I actually think
it's quite charming.

(gentle music)

Why don't you come
to my place tonight?

I'll have the chef
make us dinner.

- That sounds good.

So, you still want to hang out

with me after I
called you a mermaid?

- [Aurora] Yes.

Very much (chuckles).

- So if I were to
splash you right now,

you wouldn't turn
into a mermaid?

- Try, try (laughs)!

- Come on, it's like
a Tom Hanks movie.

(mellow music)

- Hey, where you have been?

- Checking out
this mermaid thing.

- All right, any luck with that?

- Nope.

- Well, we have much
bigger problems here.

- What?

- Dr. Prince.

- Mr. Collins.

- Unfortunately, the
board has decided

to terminate your permit.

- What?

Why?

Why?
-To much risk

to the historical sites.

(Eric scoffs)

- So, Mr. Collins,
you're telling me

that our generous donation

didn't do anything to
change their minds?

- The risk outweighs
the benefits.

Even financial ones.

- Please, Sir, just reconsider.

Go back to them.

If they need more money-

- I'm afraid the decision is
final and well considered.

You have till the end of the day

to remove your
equipment and people.

- (scoffs) You're a real
piece of shit, you know that?

- We are done here.

- [Eric] Fuck!

(mysterious music)

- I'm really not doing much to
allay your suspicions, am I?

- You're, you're really not.

- Here, come with me.

I saw this view and fell in love

with the place immediately.

I knew I had to have it.

You know, I actually
grew up near the coast.

My father worked on the water,

so the sea, well,
it's in my blood.

- (chuckles) Sea's
in your blood, huh?

- Mm hm.

- I gotta say you're really
not helping my delusions.

- (chuckles) I'm sharing details
of my past with you, Eric,

which is rare for me.

- Is that right?
- Hm.

- Well, in that
case, I am grateful.

I feel very special.

- You should.

Oh, I hope you're hungry.

And you like sushi?

- Yeah, oh yeah.

Yes, yes to both.

(Aurora chuckles)

- Come with me.

(music continues)

(music continues)

- Oh, wow, what a nice
spread you have here.

- I spared no expense.

- How did you find a
sushi chef on this island?

- Ah, I had to teach him.

- So, you're a sushi chef too?

Any other details from your
past that you care to share?

- I actually lived
in Japan for awhile.

I love islands.

- (chuckles) So...

Whoa, 2001 La
Montrachet Grand Cru.

Wow.

(chuckles) I've never seen
one of these in person before,

let alone taste it.

- It seems you know
your wine, Dr. Prince.

So you're cultured, too?

(glasses clinking)

Tell me, Eric,

how does a man like you,

successful, handsome,
intelligent, adventurous,

manage to remain single?

(Eric chuckles)

- You say that like
it's an accomplishment.

- In a way it is.

Men like you tend to
get snapped up early.

- Well, I was in one long
relationship almost 10 years.

- [Aurora] What happened?

- Me (chuckles).

Despite your assessment,

I am pretty far from
perfect (chuckles).

I guess you could say

that I'm pretty
difficult to deal with.

- A challenge.

Go on.

- I guess you could say I tend

to be pretty singular
(chuckles) in focus.

For example, I'm
sitting here trying

to enjoy myself and this
$25,000 bottle of wine,

and honestly, my brain
is going fucking crazy.

It's working on overdrive,

trying to figure out
how to save my project.

- Why?

What happened?

- The landowners, they
kicked us off today.

- Can't your university or
the government help you?

- Unfortunately not.

- How much to purchase the land?

- Oh, no.

Oh, no, no.

I hope you don't think
that me at bringing it up

was a way of asking you to help.

I...no.

But I do think what you're
doing is of great importance.

- I mean, I'm not really
sure what you could do.

I mean, I would welcome
any assistance of course.

But look, I just don't
want you to think

that's what I was going for.

I...

Fuck me.

What I'm trying to say
is that I wouldn't want

to do anything to
jeopardize our uh,

(chuckles) relationship.

- Believe me, our relationship
is not in jeopardy.

I'm quite certain
how I feel about you.

- You are?

- I was drawn to you the
moment I laid eyes on you.

Fate brought us together.

(gasps) And I for one, am
not one to challenge fate.

- Neither am I.

- [Aurora] Good.

Then we understand each other.

- Hey, hey.

What about your chef?

Isn't someone back there?

- (chuckles) He's shy.

He won't be out.

It's just us.

(gentle music)

(both moaning)
(music continues)

(music intensifies)

(squelching noises)

(pensive music)

(music continues)

(door opens)

Sebastian, get the car.

We're going into town.

- Yes, Your Highness.

(music continues)

(dramatic music)

(pensive music)

- Flounder, is that you?

Who's there? Hello?

- Are you Mr. Collins?

- I am, what do you want?

- Just a word.

- It's late. Make an appointment

with my secretary in the
morning.

- I'm afraid this cannot wait.

- I can't see you now.

(eerie warbling)

(music continues)

- Sit down, Mr. Collins.

You're going to help me.

- Yes, I'm going to help you.

- Much better.

We are going to become
fast friends you and I.

(music continues)

(light music)
(seagulls squawking)

- Ferdy (chuckles).

Good to see you, bud.

Wow, that's a nice outfit.

- I thought I'd dress the part.

You look good.

Happy.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- Thanks.

I'll tell you why later.

- I love a good story.

You sort out your issues?

- Remarkably, yeah.

You're not gonna believe this.
They called this morning saying

that they had a sudden
change of heart.

- That's good.

There's no way I can come up

with the cash to buy that spot.

- Looks like we won't need to.

All right, so we'll get
you checked into the hotel

and then straight
to the dig site.

Can't wait to show you, man.

- Oh, this is Archie.

He's my right hand man.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

Welcome to the island.
- Thank you.

(dynamic music)

- So we had a little
shark encounter diving

so we're sticking to
the land dig for now.

- Dr. Ashley, welcome.
- Thank you.

Sounds like you guys are
doing really great work here.

- You guys are gonna
wanna see this.

- [Ferdy] It's
definitely 17th century.

It's a cornerstone for the
church that used to stand here.

It's not just a date marker.

- No, there's much more here.

Reads almost like-
- Warning.

- Is that what I think-

- Yes, that's the
Seal of the Templars.

- Templars? Here?

- Yeah, they travel all over.

Makes sense they would land here

like other European explorers.

It's the gateway
to the new world.

- [Eric] Doctor, you
wanna do the honors?

- Have a look around.

This is an incantation.

It's a protection
against evil spirits.

It says they buried the
evil they found here

and consecrated the
ground for a church.

The only way to stop the
ancient evil they discovered.

- Hello.

- Aurora?

Hey. What are you a...

What are you doin' here?

- Well, I just thought I'd
check out my new property.

- Wait.

You bought this?

- Yes.

I was thinking when you're
done I could build a hotel,

maybe a resort here.

This little pit you've dug

would make an excellent pool.

- I'm so overwhelmed.

I don't know how to thank you.

- Just finish your work.

No need to thank me.

It was a good investment.

(Ferdy's throat clears)

- Oh, hey, Ferdy,

this is Aurora,
our new benefactor.

And Aurora, this is the
renowned Dr. Ferdinand Ashley

from the university.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Likewise.

Well, I'll let you
boys play in your dirt.

I just wanted to drop
by and say hello.

- I'm so overwhelmed.

Thank you.

- Dinner later?
- Definitely.

- Call me.
- [Eric] I will.

(Eric exhales)

- New friend?

Is that the story you
mentioned earlier?

- What's that?

Oh (chuckles), yeah, yeah.
It is.

- Keep an eye on this one,
Archie.

- What do you mean?

- Well, he has but one
weakness and she just left.

Women and Dr. Prince
don't do so well.

- Ferdy, will you just fuck off?

Don't do this.

- I've known you for
over 20 years, buddy.

My assessment's
based on hard data

and that woman looks
particularly dangerous.

- That woman just saved
this whole operation, so...

- All the more troublesome.

You see, Archie,
our mutual friend

is a bit of a romantic.

When a woman's involved, he
gets lost and lacks focus.

- Oh.

So, he's a real jealous.

- Oh, right.
Okay.

That's enough everybody.

I'm sorry, are we done talkin'
about my personal life?

Is it okay if we get
back to work, Doctor?

Yeah, thanks.

All right. So now we know where

the 17th century structures end.

So allegedly, anything
we find beneath there

should be a part of
the ancient temple.

- An ancient temple of evil.

- Look, Kurt, the Templars
probably found evidence

of this cult in the Middle East

and of course they
would've deemed it evil

and in need of an exorcism
like they did everything else.

Archie, let's get
this stone moved

as fast as possible
and let's keep digging.

- I on it, Boss.

- [Kurt] So, we just
ignore the warning?

- Yeah, Kurt (chuckles).

Sorry, I don't
trust the judgment

of a bunch of superstitious
knights gallivanting

around the world claiming
to do magic, okay?

We have to uncover the rest.

We press on.

(thunder rumbling)
(dramatic music)

- Boss Man,

we might want to pack up.

- Huh? Oh Archie,

it's just a little rain, buddy.

Nothing these kids can't handle.

If it gets any heavier,
we'll get some covering.

- Yeah, but if it floods,
it could be dangerous.

- If it happens we'll stop.

- [Maggie] That's it!

(dramatic music)

(metal clangs)

- We got it.

We got it!

(dramatic music)

(music continues)

(music fades)

(dramatic music)
(sky warbling)

- It's literally the
same as last time.

- No, the last one was a
warning not to break the seal.

- [Maggie] So what's this?

- The seal.

- [Eric] Archie, crow bar.

- Seriously?

- Help me.

- One, two, three.

(lid hissing)

Down!

(all grunting)

- We should wait
to explore further.

With this rain the
ground is unstable.

- Yeah, you're right.

All right, everybody.

Let's call it a day.

Son of a bitch, man.

We did it.

- Yes, you did.

But what you did exactly
is yet to be seen.

(thunder rumbling)
(rain pattering)

(upbeat music)
(bottles clinking)

(music continues)

(glass clinking)

- This could be it, Ferdy.

This.

This is too big for them
to ignore this time.

I mean, this could be it.

This could be the one thing

that finally changes
the narrative,

that rewrites the paradigm,
that rewrites history.

- True.

- What's up?

I mean, you should be
as excited as I am.

This is your life's work, man.

- I am.

I'm also a bit more
cautious than you are.

- You're not um, getting
superstitious on me, are you?

- No, I still don't believe in
magic like

some of our faculty.

But I do know there are
people out there that do,

and they take this
stuff very seriously.

- So what?

A Dagon temple in this
part of the world,

it's gonna ignite
all the fanatics.

- I'm sorry, the fanatics.

What are you talkin' about?

- I dealt with this cult before.

I mean, you know,
true believers.

I went with Armitage to
a place called Innsmouth

and I dealt with a
Dagon cult there.

- Ferdy, look around.

There's no cult here.

I mean, this is the first time

these people have heard
anything about this.

- This woman that
bought the land,

how well do you know her?

- I mean, honestly,
not that well.

Of course, I've gotten to know
her a bit in different ways,

but (chuckles) I don't know
much about where she comes from,

if that's what you mean.

- This cult that we encountered,

they were full of rich
people, powerful people.

You just need to be careful.

- Wait a second (chuckles).

Are you telling me...

You're telling me that you think
that this woman

is a part of some cult?

- Well, she did take care of
your problem pretty quickly.

Or did you think that

was because of your
charming personality?

- Actually, yes.

Yes, I do.

- Look, I know you had a
rough go if it with Jessica.

You're breaking up,

but I just need you
to be careful is all.

- Ferdy, just so I
understand this correctly,

Are you trying to
save me right now

from a relationship with
a hot wealthy heiress?

- No, I'm trying to
save you from you.

You let women run your life.

Now, I'm not saying that as
an insult, just as a friend.

You go all in and while
that can be kinda noble,

it can also lead to problems
as it has in the past.

- Ferdy, I appreciate
you lookin' out for me.

But I can assure
you, this woman,

she's not some cultist.

She didn't know
anything about the dig.

She didn't even know what we
were looking for (chuckles).

- So, some voluptuous redhead
flops in off the street,

falls totally in love with you.

- Yeah!

And I mean, I wouldn't
say that she's like,

you know, in love just yet,

but she's not a problem.

In fact, why am I
sitting here listening

to your lectures
when I'm supposed

to be at her house
20 minutes ago?

Shit.

- Go ahead, I'll
amuse myself here.

Just promise me you'll
watch your back.

- Why should I?

Apparently I got you
doin' that for me.

- [Ferdy] Funny. I'm serious.

- I promise, Ferdy,
I will remain selfish

and emotionally unavailable.

- Attaboy.

That's what I wanted to hear.

(upbeat music)

(Ferdy sighs)

(pensive music)
(crickets chirping)

" Mermaids and mermen
were the high priests

of the Dagon cult.

They could gain the
ability to walk on land

by consuming human blood.

A mermaid gains a human
soul by sacrificing a human

in defiance of true love .

When Dagon returns,

the seas will boil and blood
shall rain from the skies.

The return of the elder Gods
will end the reign of man

and plunge the world
into chaos and madness ."

(light music)

- [Eric] Howdy.
- Good morning.

You look elated.

I trust your night went well?

- Yes, thank you.

(Eric groans)

- So, Archie told me about
your diving experience.

- Wish he hadn't.

- I saw the photo.

- And?

- Well, I did a little
research last night.

Dagon is a patriot
of sea creatures.

- (chuckles) Don't worry,
Ferd, I already asked her.

She's not a mermaid.

- You asked her?

- Yeah, we're close
like that (chuckles).

- And she didn't think
you were totally nuts?

- No.

- Maybe she is the one.

- She is pretty awesome.

- But do you think she
would answer you honestly?

- Ferd, are you
seriously accusing

my new girlfriend
of being a mermaid?

- Girlfriend?

You guys have labels now?

- No, I mean, well...

I mean, I don't know.
Whatever.

I'm just sayin', we're
in unchartered territory.

The existence of a
temple in this part

of the world doesn't make sense.

I'm just being
open-minded and careful.

- You were talking
about mermaids, Ferd.

Mermaids.

That's not being cautious.

That's being ridiculous.

- I was pourin' over in my notes

an old text last night while
you were doing whatever.

- Yeah?

What'd you find?

- Lots of bad stuff.

- Of course you did.

- According to Dagon
legend mermaids and mermen-

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Sorry, I just wanted to make
sure I heard you correctly.

Mermen?

- Oh, fuck off.

- Are you listening
to yourself, man?

I mean, you sound crazy.

You sound like Henry.

I mean, I would've
expected that out of him,

but never from you. Henry,
he was a true

believer in this shit, but you,

you man, you're
supposed to be rational.

You're supposed to be
levelheaded like me.

- And I am.

It's just a mixture
of this situation

and knowing you so well.

- Just be careful.

- (smirks) Yeah, I always am.

- No, you never are.

Which is my point.

(engine rumbling)

- How we lookin', Arch?

- Down there flooded.

You pumped it out,
but it not safe.

- Yeah, well, if this
is actually connected

to the structure
we found off shore,

I mean, we may never
be able to pump it out.

- It too soon to tell.

- Yeah, all right, so we wait.

This the biggest pump
we have on the island?

- Yes, Sir.

- [Ferdy] Well?

- Looks like we're
gonna have to wait.

- All right. I guess I'll take
in some local culture.

Have a look around.

(mysterious music)

(music continues)

(music continues)

(dramatic music)

(music continues)

(chains rattling)

- [Sebastian] Did you find what
you were looking for, Doctor?

- [Ferdy] How do
you know who I am?

- I don't, I'm just
trying to be helpful.

- You said doctor, how could
you possibly know that?

- I mean you no harm.

- Who are you?

- He works for me.

- Is that right?

He gave me quite the start.

- Apologies.

It's just we saw
you wandering around

and thought you might
require some assistance.

- No, thank you, I'm fine.

Just killin' some time.

Takin' in the sights.

- You're Eric's friend.

We met at the dig.

- Yes.

I've heard a lot about you.

- All good I hope?

- Very.

My friend Eric seems
quite fond of you.

- I don't think you
approve of me, Doctor.

- It's hardly my place.

Eric's a grown man.

Make his own decisions
and his own mistakes.

- Mistakes?

- Tell me, what is your
interest in our work here?

- Well, I find it interesting,

and I wish to help him.

- Very well then,
I've just never known

a friend to give such support.

Forgive my suspicions.

- Suspicions?

- Yes, I assumed Eric May have
mentioned something to you?

- No, he hasn't.

- Oh, well, then, nothing
important apparently.

- Wait.

I'm curious.

Why would you be
suspicious of me?

- What we've uncovered here
tends to bring out the crazies.

I've seen it firsthand.

It was a very large
and violent cult

that still believes
in these old Gods.

- And you thought that I
might be a part of this cult?

- Yes, possibly.

But as I said before, apologies.

I'm sorry if I offended you.
- Not at all.

It's just, I very
much care for Eric,

and I would hate for
anything to come between us.

- Well, he doesn't
listen to me anyway,

so you don't have
to worry about me.

And I have nothing
against you, I assure you.

- Good.

Then I hope we could be friends.

- I look forward to
getting to know you better.

- Likewise.

Good day, Doctor.

- Good day.

(anticipatory music)

- Do you want me to follow him?

- Yes.

Keep an eye on him.

I don't trust him.

- [Sebastian] Of course.

(music continues)

(water splashing)

- I saw your friend
in town today.

- Ferdy?
- Hm.

- Hm.

- He doesn't trust me.

- What?

- Did he say that?

Oh my God.

He's such a-

- He didn't say that exactly,
but I could just tell.

- You don't need to
worry about Ferdy.

He's the stuffy Ivy
League professor.

He lives in his books,
not in the real world.

He likes (sighs) to act

like he's my older
brother or my dad.

I'll talk with him, okay?

- (sighs) He was
rambling on about cults

and dangerous people.

- Oh.

The thing about that
is he (sighs)...

Ferdy ran into this cult into
New England a few years back

who worshiped the
same God as the temple

that I think we found.

It stuck with him.

It must have been a really
horrible experience for him.

- I would just hate for
anything to come between us.

- Hey, hey.

You don't have to
worry about him.

You don't have to
worry about anybody.

I would never, ever let
anything come between us.

I'm just, I'm so grateful
that I found you.

I know how I feel.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I um, I think

I think I'm in love with you.

- I love you too, Eric.

- I haven't said
that in so long.

It feels good.

(pensive music)

- It does.

(dramatic music)

(Aurora speaking in
foreign language)

- Eric!
Eric, wake up!

(Aurora speaking in
foreign language)

- Eric!

(knife thuds)

(singer singing in
foreign language)

(Ferdy screaming)

(flesh squelching)
(singer vocalizing)

(Ferdy gasps)
(pensive music)

- Stop!

- Ferdy, right on time, buddy.

We're about to go in.

- No, don't.

We need to leave this site.

Leave this island immediately.

- Ferdy, what are
you talkin' about?

- You know, you gotta
walk away, Eric, trust me.

This place is
buried for a reason.

- (smirks) Just calm down.

What's gotten into you?

- I've seen things.

I've had visions.

I don't have visions.

When I dream, it's missing
an exam back in college.

But since I've arrived
here, I've seen things.

- All right, just take it easy.

You okay?

You don't sound like yourself.

- Danger, okay?

You're in danger.

We're all in danger.

We need to shut
this thing down now.

- Just, hey everybody,

can you give us
a minute, please?

Thanks.

Buddy, buddy.

Hey, look at me.

Are you okay?
You sound crazy.

- This place, that
girl, it isn't right.

- Yeah, about that.

I heard that you
had a talk with her.

- Ask yourself why.

Why did she find me?

Why did she seek you out?

Why did she seek me out?

- She didn't seek me out, Ferdy.

I asked to meet with her.

All right?

You are talking crazy.

- I'm not, I'm not.

This temple was sealed off,

hidden from the world and
lost, guarded by magic,

and you opened it.

You let it back
out into the world

when it was meant to be
hidden and forgotten.

- Magic, Ferdy?

Magic? I thought we were
done with this.

I thought we were done
with this

superstitious bullshit, man.

- I thought so too,
but this place,

I'm convinced it's evil, okay?

She's not what she says she is.

- I don't get it, man.

Are you jealous or something?

Are you jealous of her?

Or are you jealous-
- Come on, Eric.

- What?
- God damn it!

Listen to me, please!

- No, you need to stop,
Ferdy, you need to stop, okay?

You're losing it.

You're losing it, man.

Archie,

make sure my friend gets
back to his hotel room okay.

He's a...

He's not feelin' right.

- You're makin' a mistake, Eric.

Makin' a huge mistake.

Before we go back to the hotel,

I need to show you
something, Archie.

Won't take but a minute.

(dramatic music)

- This make no sense.

- Yes, it does.

She's not who she claims to be

or what she claims to be,
and we have to stop her.

- How you gonna do that?

- I need your help.

We need weapons.

- This ain't America.

We don't get gun in the grocery.

We're responsible.

Only criminals have gun.

- Right.

What about spears,
harpoons, fishing stuff?

- That we can do.

Come.

(light music)

- Light.

(music continues)

(oxygen hisses)

(music continues)
(water splashing)

(anticipatory music)

- This look like it still work.

- Good, take it.

- We can't just kill a
woman on a random hunch.

- I don't intend to. We're gonna
confront her.

I just don't want to do
it unarmed.

We have no how dangerous she is.

- Shouldn't we talk
to Dr. Prince first?

- You saw me, I tried.
He wouldn't listen to me.

That's why we're gonna have
to force the discussion.

Do you know where
we can find her?

- I think so.

- Good, let's go.

- You boys goin' fishin'?

- Yes.

Step aside unless you wanna
be the first catch of the day.

I've dealt with your kind
before it Innsmouth.

I have no problem
running you through.

- I have my orders.

Come along peacefully.

Her Majesty would
like a word with you.

- Still think I'm crazy?

- No, Sir.

- Last chance, freak.

- I did my best.

Have it your way.

(liquid hisses)
(Eric screams)

(suspenseful music)

(harpoon whizzes)

(Archie screams)

(water gurgling)
(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)
(singing in foreign language)

(music continues)
(singing continues)

(music continues)
(vocalizing continues)

(water splashing)

- Kurt, what the
hell are you doing?

- I'm saving you.

You've been gone for hours.

- What?

That's impossible.

I was gonna for
like five minutes.

I don't have enough
air for hours.

- Exactly why I came after you.

That's my third
attempt to find you.

- Doesn't make any sense.

Kurt, did you see it?

- No, I only saw darkness.

- It's incredible.

I have to get back down.

- Oh, wait.
It's dark.

We have no light.

We cannot find you
if you go down.

- Yeah.

Oh yeah, you're right.

All right, tomorrow.

(pensive music)

- Oh.

- Eric!

- Hey, whoa.

Hey.

How'd you get in here?

- It's your friends,
they've gone crazy.

They were gathering weapons.

They wanted to kill me.

- What?

Who?

- Dr. Ashley and Archie.

- That's not...

What did they do?

- Nothing.

We stopped them before
they had the chance.

- We?

Who's we?

Where's Ferdy?

- I can take you to him.

Come.
- Wait.

I don't understand.

What's going on?

- Come with me, Eric.

I'll explain
everything, I promise.

(suspenseful music)

- "Freak (huffs)."

Ironic that you're the one
under the net isn't it, Doctor?

- How you doin'?

- Almost.

(knife scraping)

- It's not far now.

Just up ahead.

(suspenseful music)

(car doors slamming)

(pensive music)
(water splashing)

- Ferdy!

- Help us!
- What the hell's

goin' on here?

- I wouldn't do
that if I were you.

They're dangerous.

They'll kill me if
given the chance.

- You bet your ass
I would, sister.

(Aurora growls)
(music continues)

- Eric, you saw the
temple, didn't you?

I want to know everything.

Was it beautiful?

- Hey, how do you...

How do you know about that?

- I could feel it.

(Eric scoffs)

- Yeah, it is beautiful,
like nothing I've ever seen.

- You freed it for us.

Thank you, my love.

We couldn't break the seal
placed upon it centuries ago.

- So, it's true.

You, you're a...

You're-
- Yes, yes.

- You knew it was true.

We're brought together
for a reason, Eric.

To serve a greater purpose.

You feel it, don't you?

- I did.

- She's bewitched you, Eric.
You're not thinkin' straight.

Fight back.

- I have done
nothing of the sort.

- Eric, everything
between us is real.

Our love is real.

- Don't listen to
that vile creature.

- Stop!
(Aurora hisses)

Hey, look at me!
(Aurora growls)

Don't hurt my friends.

Look at me.

You're not gonna hurt them.

You're not gonna hurt them.

Promise me.

Promise me you won't
hurt my friends.

- All right.

You have my promise.

If you know of my kind,
then I cannot break it.

- Tell me, why do the minutes

feel like hours when
I was down there?

- You experienced
time the way we do.

Centuries feel like
months, hours like seconds.

That's the way it
can be for you too.

We'll finally be
together for eternity.

- Do you promise?

(singer vocalizing)

- You can trust me.

- So what happens next?

- We finish what you started.

We go to the temple and
we summon The Old Ones.

They will return and
take this world back,

and we will make it
beautiful once more.

- Okay.
- Yes?

(Archie grunting)
(knife slicing)

- Step aside, Eric.

Let me kill this monster.

- I can't let you
do that, Ferdy.

She's my destiny.

- Have you lost your mind?

She's gonna destroy the world.

You can do what you
want with your own life.

Let her kill you. You can't make

that decision for
the rest of us

- It looks like
you're just gonna have

to kill me first, Ferdy.

- Please don't make me do this.

You know what she's
talking about.

You know what the text
says is gonna happen.

- Eric,

walk with me to the water.

I do love you.

That is not a lie.

- I know.

- But I must do this.

- No!

(flesh squelching)
(dramatic music)

- Sorry, Boss Man.

(suspenseful music)

(Aurora screams)
(Aurora growls)

(thunder rumbling)

(Aurora screams)
(Aurora growls)

(water splashing)

- Ferdy,

I'm so sorry.

I didn't have a choice.

Ferdy,

you have to get to the dig site.

You have to seal the temple.

It's the only way (splutters).

- Eric, Eric?

Fuck!

To the dig site, hurry!

(dramatic music)

(sky growling)

Forget about that.
Come in and help us.

We need to move this
back into place.

- Why are we moving it back?

- Stop asking questions.
Just help us.

(all grunting)

(lid thuds)

(dynamic music)

(Ferdy speaking in
foreign language)

Come on everyone, say it.

(all speaking in
foreign language)

- Again!

(all speaking in
foreign language)

- Louder!

(all speaking in
foreign language)

(sky howling)

(howling stops)
(rain pattering)

(singer singing in
foreign language)

- What the fuck was
that, Professor?

- I'm not sure, but I think
we just saved the world.

- I should have gone
into accounting.

(Archie laughs)

(Ferdy laughs)

- This dig site is
officially over.

Nobody moves anything.

Tomorrow we bury it.

Some mysteries are
better left uncovered.

(singers singing in
foreign language)

(singing fades)

(pensive music)

- You've stopped nothing.

You've merely delayed
the inevitable.

And we are patient,

and have much more
time than you do.

Don't worry.

I pledged not to harm you.

- Well, I made no such promise

and I will find a way
to rid the world of you.

- And I wish you luck, Doctor,

but I am just one of many.

- You killed my friend.

I can't let that stand.

It is you who is
responsible for his death.

Not me.

- You're outta
your mind, sister.

- Try me. Anything you do would
be a pathetic act of futility.

Just know that right now in
some corner of the world,

other humans like you and
Eric, driven by curiosity,

science and fortune will
uncover relics from the past

that will be the
key to our return.

And there is nothing you
can do about it, Doctor.

Your reign of greed and
destruction will be over soon.

The balance will be restored.

The world will be as
it was, millennia ago,

under their control and humanity

will be brought into
submission once more.
