IT'S NOTHING, MAN. IT'S A REFLECTION.

IT'S GONE.

AAH! AAH!

AAH!

THERE ARE CREATURES SCIENCE REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE.

THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE!

WHAT IS THAT?

THEM-- THEY'RE MONSTERS!

IN 2006,

TWO WORKERS WENT MISSING FROM THE VIRTANEN OFFSHORE OIL RIG.

THEY WERE NEVER FOUND.

THE FOLLOWING SPRING,

A DISCOVERY WAS MADE NEAR THE RIG--

A FINNISH SHIP OF WAR THAT SANK IN 1920

WITH ALL HANDS ON DECK AND A FORTUNE IN CZARIST GOLD.

DEEP-SEA TREASURE HUNTER DEREK BARROW

AND HIS TEAM OF EXPERTS

HEADED TO THE BALTIC SEA TO EXPLORE THE SHIPWRECK.

THEY BROUGHT ALONG DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER JAMES WERNER

TO FILM THE ADVENTURE,

BUT WHAT BARROW AND HIS TEAM ULTIMATELY ENCOUNTERED

IN THE OMINOUS WATERS

WAS FAR FROM THE TREASURE THEY SOUGHT.

DEREK BARROW,

THERE'S NO ARGUMENT THAT YOU'RE CONSIDERED TO BE

THE TREASURE HUNTER OF OUR TIME,

BUT THE WORLD BEGS TO ASK.

WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE?

ARE YOU MORE ENTREPRENEUR, ADVENTURER,

SCIENTIST, HISTORIAN?

A BIT OF ALL OF THE ABOVE, REALLY, TO BE HONEST.

ALL RIGHT, LET ME PUT IT THIS WAY.

THE RUSSIAN SHIP THAT WE'RE TAKING UP,

ARE YOU MORE INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF THE SHIP

OR THE RUMOR OF GOLD THAT IS TO BE-- I TELL YOU WHAT.

RATHER THAN TALKING ABOUT IT, LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

THAT'S WHERE THE STORY BEGINS. LOOK AT THAT RIG.

YES, THE OIL RIG.

FILL US IN ABOUT THE STORY THERE.

THE OIL COMPANY WERE DRILLING

AND LAYING NEW PIPES FOR SOME PROJECT,

AND THEY DISCOVERED THE WRECK OF A SHIP DOWN THERE,

AND I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.

AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE'S TREASURE IN THIS SHIP?

WELL, I COULD TELL YOU, BUT I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU.

NO, SERIOUSLY. I WOULD HAVE TO KILL YOU.

ACTUALLY, NOW THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT,

LIKE I SAID TO YOU BEFORE,

YOU'VE SET UP THESE CAMERAS AROUND THE SHIP AND EVERYTHING,

BUT PLEASE DON'T SEND ANYTHING BACK TO SHORE

BEFORE WE GET BACK.

I REALLY DON'T NEED TO DRAW UNDUE ATTENTION TO THIS PROJECT.

WHY'S THAT?

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY

THAT WHEN YOU'VE GOT TREASURE ON BOARD THE BOAT,

IT'S LIKE HAVING BLOOD IN THE WATER FOR SHARKS.

THERE'S PIRATES AROUND HERE.

RIGHT, PIRACY.

YOU'VE HAD TROUBLES WITH THIS BEFORE.

I THINK WE BETTER GO IN AND CHECK ON THE CREW.

COME ON.

THE KRAKEN IS A MYTHOLOGICAL, LEGENDARY CREATURE...

AN AWESOME SEA MONSTER.

IN THE 18th AND 19th CENTURY, AND EVEN BEFORE THAT,

SUCH THINGS AS WHALES AND OCTOPUS AND SQUID

WERE BASICALLY DEMONIZED AS MONSTERS.

SAILORS-- ALL OF US, REALLY--

ATTACH FEAR TO SOMETHING WE DON'T UNDERSTAND,

THE UNKNOWN, AND THE SEA WAS VAST.

ANYPLACE ON THE MAP WHERE THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT CHARTED,

WHERE THEY DIDN'T SHOW THE LANDMASS

OR ANYTHING ABOUT THE OCEAN,

THEY JUST SAID, "HERE THERE BE MONSTERS."

THE KRAKEN, IT WAS BELIEVED,

ITS SOLE PURPOSE WAS TO WREAK HAVOC

AND DESTRUCTION ON HUMANITY.

KRAKEN WAS THE NAME FOR AN UPROOTED TREE,

AND SAILORS DESCRIBED THE KRAKEN

AS LOOKING LIKE AN OVERTURNED, UPROOTED TREE

WITH ALL THE ROOTS WAVING ABOUT IN THE AIR

BECAUSE THEY WOULD SEE ALL THE TENTACLES.

I THINK THAT IN THE WILDER SEAFARING TALES,

THE KRAKEN WAS TOLD TO BE GRABBING SHIPS,

SPLINTERING THEM LIKE KINDLING,

AND THEN PULLING THE SHIP AND ALL ABOARD

DOWN TO DAVY JONES' LOCKER.

SO, I WAS THINKING, WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER,

WE'LL GET A LITTLE PLACE TOGETHER, MAYBE IN FIJI?

WHY DON'T YOU GO SUIT-UP, ROMEO?

BY THE TIME YOU'RE DOWN AND UP, THE WINCH WILL BE READY.

YOU CAN DO IT IN TWO.

NO, NO, NO. I'M GONNA DO IT IN ONE.

BRAD, YOU'LL BE DOWN TOO LONG.

YOUR NITROGEN LEVELS, THEY'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THE ROOF.

NO. IT'S CRAZY.

I ALWAYS DO IT IN ONE. I'M GONNA DO THIS IN ONE, OKAY?

SO DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT. THAT'S STUPID.

YOU'RE GONNA JEOPARDIZE THE PROJECT. HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HE WANTS TO DO IT IN ONE DIVE.

YOU'VE GOT TO DO IT IN TWO. THERE'S NOT ENOUGH--

LISTEN. HE'S GOT 100 TIMES THE DIVE-HOURS YOU'VE GOT,

SO I'M GONNA GO WITH BRAD'S OPINION.

SORRY.

OHH!

RON, WHAT WAS THAT?!

SASHA, CHECK THE RUDDER FOR DAMAGE!

YOU, UP FRONT, LOOK FOR DEBRIS!

YOU! TURN THAT OFF AND MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL!

SOME OF THE MOST FRIGHTENING ASPECTS OF THE KRAKEN,

OF COURSE, IS ITS AGGRESSIVE NATURE,

IN WHICH IT REALLY FEARS NOTHING.

IT IS THE KING OF THE SEA.

IN THE JULES VERNE CLASSIC,

IT'S ACTUALLY COMPARED AND SHOWN AS IF THIS ANIMAL

IS PICKING OUT CERTAIN SHIPS,

HUNTING FOR THOSE SHIPS, REMEMBERING THEM.

AFTER ALL, IF THIS GIANT HAS

ONE OF THE LARGEST BODIES FOR AN INVERTEBRATE,

IT ALSO HAS THE LARGEST BRAIN.

IF YOU'RE A PUNY LITTLE HUMAN IN THE OCEAN

WITH SOMETHING THAT WEIGHS OVER 2 TONS,

HAS 24- TO 40-FOOT TENTACLES THE SIZE OF A MAN'S ARM

EQUIPPED WITH TOOTHED SUCKERS,

AND IT GETS A TENTACLE AROUND YOU,

YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO STAND

MUCH OF A CHANCE OF SURVIVAL.

IT'S NOW FIVE HOURS SINCE THE COLLISION.

WE'RE STILL NOT SURE WHAT WE HIT,

ALTHOUGH THE CAPTAIN BELIEVES IT WAS SOME DEBRIS.

EITHER WAY, THE SHIP SEEMS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE,

AND WE'RE NOW CURRENTLY ANCHORED ABOVE THE WRECKAGE.

DIVE SPECIALIST BRAD DOWNING

IS PREPARING TO MAKE HIS FIRST DESCENT.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO THIS.

BRAD! YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!

GET IN THERE!

ALL RIGHT, CONNECTING THE WINCH, RADIO TEST.

RON, YOU GETTING THIS?

Check.

COME ON. WE CAN WATCH THIS FROM BELOW.

Approaching a water depth of 50 meters here.

Visibility of about 5 meters.

If you guys can see this,

the whole center of the wreckage,

it's crushed like a beer can.

It looks like it's from water pressure,

but we're not deep enough for that.

Whatever it hit, or hit it,

it must have been pretty powerful.

YEAH, COPY.

AS SOON AS BRAD ATTACHES THE WINCH,

THEN WE'LL BEGIN BRINGING THE TREASURE UP.

What the hell is that?

Are you guys seeing this?

UH, NO, BRAD.

THE WATER'S TOO MURKY. WHAT CAN YOU SEE?

I don't know. It's some kind-- Aah!

WHAT THE HELL-- WHAT WAS THAT?

THE LINE'S GOING OUT TOO FAST. IT'S GONNA RUN OUT!

I CAN'T KILL IT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CUT THE POWER.

RON!

SASHA!

THE LINE'S GOING OUT TOO FAST. IT'S GONNA RUN OUT!

I CAN'T KILL IT.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CUT THE POWER.

RON!

SASHA!

I'M GOING IN.

I'M-- I'M OKAY.

OH.

CAPTAIN, WHATEVER THAT WINCH IS CAUGHT ON,

IT'S ACTING LIKE AN ANCHOR.

WE GOT TO CUT IT.

WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH A MAN STILL ON THE BOTTOM,

AND WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITHOUT THAT TREASURE.

STAY UP THERE. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR BRAD.

I'M GONNA TRY TO MAKE CONTACT.

AYE-AYE.

BRAD?

BRAD, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

BRAD?

BRAD, DO YOU HEAR ME?

BRAD, COME IN.

BRAD, DO YOU COPY? COME IN.

THAT'S IT. I'M SUITING UP.

SO IF YOU CAN FIX THAT WINCH FROM UP HERE.

BARROW...

IF HE'S TRAPPED DOWN THERE,

WE BOTH KNOW I'M THE PERSON TO GO DOWN AND GET HIM.

BRAD, CAN YOU HEAR ME?

BRAD!

SOME SQUID SPECIES ARE AGGRESSIVE

AND HAVE FORMIDABLE WEAPONRY.

THEY CAN SHOOT INK AND CONFUSE A PREDATOR.

BIOLUMINESCENCE IS ALSO USED AS A DEFENSE STRATEGY.

THEIR OWN BODY IS ABLE TO PRODUCE LIGHT

THROUGH BACTERIA THAT THEY HARBOR

IN A CHAMBER IN THEIR BODY.

THE KRAKEN AS A PARROT-LIKE BEAK

THAT IT CAN USE TO GRASP ITS PREY AND TO TEAR FLESH.

THE BEAK IS A REALLY POWERFUL BITING ORGAN,

AND THAT BEAK CAN DELIVER A VERY, VERY NASTY BITE,

AND THAT COULD BE A FATAL ATTACK.

CAPTAIN BARROW ESTIMATES

THAT DIVE SPECIALIST BRAD DOWNING'S AIR

WILL RUN OUT WITHIN AN HOUR

AND HAS MADE THE DECISION TO SEND SASHA PORSIS

ON A RISKY NIGHT-RESCUE DIVE.

LISTEN, SASHA. YOU'RE MY EYES DOWN THERE.

SO I WANT YOU TO BE CAREFUL, ALL RIGHT?

AND IF THERE'S A DECISION TO BE MADE,

I'M GONNA MAKE IT.

HAVE YOU GOT THAT?

I'VE GOT IT, BARROW.

I'LL BE FINE. DON'T WORRY.

LET ME GET DOWN THERE AND FIND BRAD.

THINK GOOD THOUGHTS, JIMMY.

RON! YOU STAND GUARD UP THERE!

I'M GONNA CHECK ON SASHA FROM BELOW.

BARROW BELIEVES THAT SASHA ONLY HAS MINUTES

TO GET BRAD AND TO BRING HIM UP, ASSUMING HE'S STILL ALIVE.

HEY, BARROW.

NEXT TIME... YOU FIND A WRECK...

...can you find it in Hawaii?

At least somewhere nice? This water is creepy.

HEY, LISTEN.

YOU'VE JUST PASSED THE 35-METER MARK,

SO YOU'RE ABOUT HALFWAY, OKAY, LOVE?

Aah! Aah!

SASHA, CALM DOWN!

He's dead! He's-- wait a second.

There's something! There's something!

SASHA, WHAT IS IT?! WHAT CAN YOU SEE?!

There's something down here, Barrow! SASHA!

Oh, no! Aah!

SASHA!!

FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS,

STORIES OF SAILORS BEING ATTACKED BY SQUID

WERE DISMISSED AS THE STUFF OF MYTH AND LEGEND.

BUT IN 2009,

DIVERS OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST HAD A TERRIFYING ENCOUNTER.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH WHEN "LOST TAPES" RETURNS.

THOUGH NORMALLY CONFINED

TO THE DEEP WATERS OF MEXICO,

IN FEBRUARY OF 2009,

DIVERS REPORTED THE PRESENCE OF JUMBO HUMBOLDT SQUID

WITH RAZOR-SHARP BEAKS AND TOOTHED TENTACLES

INVADING THE SHALLOW WATERS OFF SAN DIEGO.

ONE DIVER TOLD OF BEING HIT IN THE CHEST,

AND AS THE CREATURE'S HUGE TENTACLES

ENVELOPED HIS UPPER BODY,

HE COULD FEEL HIS ARMORED CHEST PLATE MOVE

AS THE SQUID'S BEAK GROUND VIOLENTLY AGAINST IT.

BECAUSE OF THE SQUID'S CRIMSON COLOR AND AGGRESSIVE NATURE,

IT HAS BEEN NICKNAMED "DIABLO ROJO,"

OR "THE RED DEVIL."

WHAT CAN YOU SEE?

There's something down here, Barrow! SASHA!

Oh, no! Aah!

SASHA, ARE YOU OKAY?!

RON! RON, WHAT WAS THAT?!

THAT WAS NO DEBRIS. SOMETHING HIT US DELIBERATELY.

SHUT IT!

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!

CALM DOWN.

AAH! WHAT THE IS GOING ON?

RON!

RON!!

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?!

RON!

RON?

RON!

RON, ARE YOU THERE?

OH,

THERE'S SO MUCH BLOOD.

TH-THAT'S NOT BLOOD.

THAT'S-- THAT'S SOME KIND OF INK.

AND HIS RIB CAGE HAS BEEN CRUSHED.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

AND THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO FOR HIM NOW.

IT'S SASHA I'M WORRIED ABOUT.

IF SHE DOESN'T COME UP SOON, I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO DOWN THERE.

THAT MEANS YOU'LL BE UP HERE BY YOURSELF.

THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THAT?

S-SURE.

WHAT'S THAT?

WAS THAT A BOAT?

MAYBE.

HOLD FAST. STAY CALM!

BARROW, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SHOULDN'T WE BE CALLING THE COAST GUARD OR SOMETHING?

I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD CALL THE COAST GUARD.

THAT'S NOT A BOAT.

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US. BRACE YOURSELF!

THAT'S NOT A BOAT.

WHAT IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US. BRACE YOURSELF!

I THINK IT'S GONE UNDER THE BOAT.

AAH!

SASHA!

GET AROUND TO THE BACK. COME ON.

JIMMY, GET THE MEDICAL KIT. SHE MIGHT BE HURT!

SASHA, SASHA. THANK GOD YOU'RE OKAY.

DID YOU SEE BRAD?

WHAT IS IT? WHAT-- WHAT DID YOU SEE?

BRAD'S DEAD.

THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE.

WHAT'S DOWN THERE? I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS!

WHAT DID YOU SEE? I DON'T--

AAH!

AAH!

OH, MY GOD!

OH, MY GOD! WHAT IS THAT?!

SASHA!

WHAT WAS THAT?

IT'S GONE UNDER THE BOAT.

DO YOU SEE ANYTHING?

NO, I-I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.

THAT WAS A GIANT-- GIANT SQUID!

SASHA?!

BARROW, LOOK OUT! AAH!

BARROW!

I GOT YOU.

BARROW, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

WE'RE LIKE SITTING DUCKS OUT HERE.

JIMMY!

LOOK OUT!

AAAAAAAH!

THE FOLLOWING DAY,

A FERRY HEADING TO THE OIL RIG SPOTTED FLOATING DEBRIS.

IT WAS ALL THAT REMAINED

OF THE SUNKEN RESEARCH VESSEL, DONNA GALE.

CAPTAIN DEREK BARROW

WAS FOUND CLINGING TO A SMALL RAFT FROM THE BOAT.

HE REFUSED TO SPEAK OF THE INCIDENT

AND NEVER RETURNED TO THE SEA AGAIN.

NO TREASURE OR ANY OTHER OF THE CREW MEMBERS

WERE EVER FOUND.

DEEP IN THE HIDDEN DARKNESS OF THE OCEAN'S DEPTHS,

SCIENTISTS CONTINUE TO DISCOVER A VAST ARRAY OF NEW SPECIES,

LEAVING US TO CONSIDER,

ARE THESE RUMORED MONSTERS OF THE SEA PURELY LEGEND,

OR DO THEY LIVE AMONG US?

AAAAAAAH!
