I appreciates what you did back there.

I know that girl meant something to you.

- Maggie. - Right, Maggie.

Look, you and me have had a hard go of it since your brother and your sister left.

And your mother before that.

But I did me best, and Lord knows I made mistakes.

I should never have kept you off them boats.

You'd've made a fine hand.

I can see that now.

For your own safety, everyone must evacuate immediately.

Please follow the evacuation route, and proceed in an orderly manner.

Everyone must evacuate immediately. This is for your own safety.

For your own safety, everyone must evacuate.

Mr. Crocker.

Lieutenant.

Have you met my daughter, Janet?

I have not, but we appreciate all your help on this.

- Oh, it's nothing. - Oh, it's not nothing.

Those helicopters are a big help.

As usual, we're spread too thin with the wildfires out west.

Well, whatever you need, Lieutenant, just say the word.

The Crocker Group and all of its resources are here for you.

You got it.

What happened here last night?

It went on a rampage after we tried to force it out of the harbor.

Tore up the marina,

Injured five coast-guard personnel and two of my guys.

One's in a coma, the other's gonna lose both their legs.

In all my years, I've never seen anything like it.

Where is it now?

Cut the engine.

Keep movin'.

Quietly now.

There's somethin' wrong with her.

Folks, we're just… we're trying to get you out safely.

If I could ask that you please keep it movin'.

That would be appreciated. Thank...

Sir, if you're not part of the evacuation, we need you to exit the zone.

No, I, uh… it's okay. I'm Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

I understand that, sir, but you need to clear this area.

Sir, move now.

Yeah.

Hey, you're coming. Right?

As soon as I hear anything about Calvin and Wade.

I promise.

Yeah. Okay.

It's them.

- It's them! - What?

It's them!

What?

Calvin!

You had us frightened half to death.

Dad.

Wade, old man!

- How you feeling? - Oh, you know, like a smacked arse.

- Whose fucking boat is that? - Oh, that's a long story.

- What the fuck are you wearing? - You like it?

What's up?

Oh, don't worry. He's best kind.

Come on, we gotta move. They're clearing everybody out.

Are they now?

The Crockers are saying it's not safe, Dad.

Of course they're sayin' that. They've been lying for years.

They're lying about the giant squid, are they?

The giant squid is the last thing we needs to worry about.

Hey! Get away from the water!

- Now! - We're going! Jesus!

This whole area is an evacuation zone, ma'am.

Everyone needs to be gone by the end of the day.

Grab one bag of personal items, and proceed to the evacuation site.

- Okay. - Now.

Ma'am!

Ma'am, we need you to come with us!

There she is.

Dad, this is Dr. Fonda Howander.

She works at the Ocean Science Center down in Seal Cove.

A pleasure at last.

I've heard only great things about you, Doctor.

- Oh. - Jim Crocker.

Oh. Okay.

So what are we dealing with here, Doctor?

Uh… it's a cephalopod.

Um…

Deep water origin. Highly intelligent.

She's… doesn't match anything on the known taxonomic records.

How do you know it's a she?

Uh, we know because her egg sac is frozen inside that iceberg out there.

Her egg sac?

Yeah, that's right.

That's, um… that's why she's been acting so aggressively.

These waters are too warm for her.

Her eggs won't survive, and, um… well, she knows it.

All right, egg's a soft spot. We can use that.

Locks down the location. Gives us options.

I'm sorry. What… Options for what?

You understand we have to consider every possible scenario.

Yep. Confirming our strike package is hot and standing by.

- Roger that. - Now, first things first.

We need to make sure that all the residents have been safely evacuated.

Wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on.

This is an extraordinary creature.

I mean, maybe the only one of her kind.

She deserves to be… studied, not bombed from the sky. I'm sorry.

Respectfully, this thing has downed three vessels

and killed 19 people so far.

We have a duty to eliminate the threat.

But I mean, there's still gotta be another way.

Doctor.

Once this matter is dealt with,

I will see to it that you receive the remains

for your research exclusively.

This could be a very good thing for the institute.

And for you, professionally.

Like you said,

she may be the last of her kind.

Right.

- We appreciate your insight, Doctor. - Truly.

Thank you.

When Phonse was in the clinic, Jan dropped off a tray of lemon squares.

Said they were homemade, but they were chalky as all hell.

Store bought. Can you believe that? I shoulda known right then and there.

She's been here what? Four years now?

Mm, five.

She moved here just after the last resettlement vote.

And turns out she's been a Crocker the whole friggin' time.

- Manipulating the goddamn vote. - Shit is diabolical.

- She pulled the wool clean over us. - Mm, plenty more than wool.

- Stop it. - I don't get it.

All that effort just to move people to a different town?

- I mean, what do they care? - It's not us they care about.

It's what we're leaving behind.

Mining rights.

What the fuck?

Snooks Arm has been sitting on a fortune this whole time.

Crockers knew it. Only thing standing in the way was us.

Jesus.

All my life, I thought we was cursed.

Like there was something in our blood, boiled in our bones.

Blaming myself for every little thing that went wrong.

Can't fish, can't make a livin',

can't keep this family together.

Turns out there is no curse.

There's only the Crockers.

They've had this Jesus thing rigged from the get-go.

This is a mandatory evacuation order.

For your own safety, you must leave now.

- So what the fuck we gonna do now? - What do we do? We leave now.

- Let them get away with it? - They already got away with it.

It's over, okay? It's been over for a very long time.

This is a mandatory evacuation order. Come to the door right now.

Shag it. Let's go.

What the fuck? Dude, you're wearing my ring.

What? This ring?

- What are you talkin' about? - That is my grandmother's ring.

- I was gonna fuckin' propose with that. - This?

- Yeah. Give it back. - No, you weren't.

- Give it back. - Come on!

- Your grandmother? My missus gave me this. - Missus? What friggin' missus?

Everybody out! Now!

Let's go.

Clear it.

- These are the last of them.

Let's go. Keep it moving.

Go ahead.

Dad!

Seatbelt.

Calvin.

You go on. All of ye.

Dad. Dad, can we please not do this right now?

It's okay, my love. Really, it's okay.

I'll be fine.

Dad, if you haven't noticed, it's the friggin' Army.

It's okay, Jay. You go. Be safe.

I love all of ya, but I can't just roll over.

I just needs to stay and see this thing through!

- Me too! - Oh, for the love of Jesus.

Buddy, we got no choice. We needs to evacuate.

Well… well, if he's staying, then I'm staying too.

Dad, can you tell Wade that he can't stay?

Fuck's sake, Wade!

Wade's his own man. He can do what he likes.

Thanks, Father.

If we get split up, meet at the old packing plant, yeah?

- Yeah. - Sweet blue baby Jesus.

Hey! Hey!

Ground team, be advised

two civilians seen leaving the extraction point on foot.

- I can't do this. - Oh, don't you start now.

- We can't leave. Not like this. - Jay, don't be an idiot right now.

- He's right. - What?

- No, he's not. - I think you should stay.

Noah, stop. You're delirious.

- You needs to go to hospital. - Mary, I think you belong here.

Have you all gone out of your friggin' minds or what? Honestly.

I'm with you, so I'm down for whatever.

Fuck it. Count of three?

No.

- One. - Jay.

- Two. - Jay!

Three.

Well, I suppose I should stay. Make sure nobody gets hurt.

- Ruth! - You go. Be safe.

Sh.

- Whoa! Jesus Christ. - Act natural. Buddy's got his eye on you.

- You're alive. - Yeah, for the moment. Yeah.

Well, what… what the hell happened to you?

- Wheel us out, I'll tell you. - Nice and easy.

Okay.

She's supposed to be gone by now.

Not if she's nesting.

- Nesting? - Yeah.

That's her egg sac frozen in that iceberg there.

Go on. What, she's having babies?

Well, she's trying to,

but her eggs don't stand a chance in water this warm.

All this time, she's just trying to protect her youngsters.

Mm-hmm. Not a behavior easily unlearned.

But none of that matters now.

Why not?

Because they're calling in an air strike.

As soon as this place is evacuated, it's bombs away.

They do that, they'll blow up the whole fuckin' harbor.

Probably that's what the Crockers are counting on.

So we never comes back,

and they can gut this place for all it's worth.

- What if we moves her? - What?

If we moves the nest, she goes with it, right?

Well, she won't abandon her eggs so…

So we moves her outta the harbor before they bombs it. Simple.

Calvin,

that ice weighs over 100,000 tons.

Hundred and fifty, probably, but it still floats, though.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait. What are you doing here?

- If you're staying, we're staying too. - No!

It's too dangerous. They're about to drop bombs on our heads here.

- You have to go. - Hey. No arguments, brother.

No, no, no, no, no!

God dammit!

Now you wanna stay?

Fuck yeah!

So the iceberg is wedged into the seabed at about 20 meters below.

Oh, b'ys! Found 'em.

All right, Wade.

You see the way it's dug in? You're never gonna pull that thing free.

Yeah, well, the trick is to break it down into something manageable.

Oh, that's it, b'ys.

Yeah. Loops and knots, loops and knots.

- Loops and knots. - Get a rhythm going.

You'll be surprised how much it comes once you learn it.

We only got a few hours, b'ys, right? Go, go, go.

Looks like your bad b'y's got a little bayman in him, after all.

Let's not go crazy now.

Not bad. Yeah.

Not bad, young fella.

Hello?

Hello?

Calvin?

Where'd you find this?

Calvin Penney's kitchen.

And where is he now?

He slipped the evacuation zone.

- Don't worry. I'm handling it. - Mm.

Like you handled the resettlement vote?

Come. Come.

Luckily, we've been given a gift.

That thing in the harbor, that is providence.

That is manna from heaven.

Thanks to her, we have the cover we need to clear this place without a fight.

But what about Calvin?

What about him?

Clearly, he's a liability.

You see that, don't you?

That's the weak spot there.

Here.

You sure?

Yeah.

Wasn't meant for me, anyway.

- Oh. - Oh God.

All right, there. Come on.

Let's do this.

Shagger.

Fuck.

Shit.

- Come on, Wade. Come on. - God dammit!

Oh my God.

- Give me that. - Shit. Shit. Shit.

God dammit!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Raven Flight, this is Ground Command.

Be ready to strike on my mark.

- Sir! - Stand by, Raven Flight.

What is it?

We have a problem.

Stop immediately! Do not approach the iceberg.

Go around! That way!

Do not approach the iceberg!

Do not approach the iceberg!

Oh shit.

That boat does not leave this harbor. You understand me?

Let's go!

Yes!

Go on there, b'y! Get clear.

Come on, b'y. Come on, b'y.

Harbormaster, come in.

Harbormaster here.

Harbormaster, you need to stop that vessel right now.

Harbormaster.

No can do, fellas.

You take care, now.

Harbormaster, come in.

Do you copy?

Come on! Come on!

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Yeah!

Yes!

Whoo!

Yeah! Yeah!

Have at it!

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.

They're… they're relocating her to deeper waters,

and she won't be a bother to anyone, I promise you.

Doctor, you are interfering with a military operation.

And risking people's lives.

No, no, actually. I'm… I'm doing the opposite.

Then get Calvin Penney on the radio, and stop him before it's too late.

That iceberg can't leave the harbor.

Oh.

Sorry, no. I'm… I'm not doing that.

Doctor.

You are crossing a line you can't easily come back from.

- I understand. - No, I don't think you do.

You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my family.

We built your institute.

We created the endowment that pays your salary.

Now, all of that goes away right here and now.

Good. I don't want anything to do with your money.

After all we've done for you and for this community.

Please!

You're not saving the world.

You're… you're stripping it for parts and then patting yourselves on the back.

- Give me that radio. I'll call them. - No.

- Give it to me. - Oh!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Oh shit. Ah!

All right. How's this?

Best I could do under the circumstances.

She's nice and deep. About 2,000 meters to the bottom.

And not a soul around to give you or your youngsters any grief.

Most of my life, you had me scared half to death.

But I dare say we're more alike than I ever expected, you and me.

All right.

What the Jesus fuck?

Attention, this is a military operation.

Clear the strike zone immediately.

Stay back!

- Vacate the strike zone. - Hey! Stay back!

I repeat, vacate the strike zone.

Command, be advised we've got a civilian inside the strike zone.

Looks like a local fisherman.

You need to make the call before anyone else gets hurt.

It's one thing to make that call when the threat was in the harbor,

but now you want me to authorize a strike on a civilian vessel.

That's what you're asking me to do? Just so I'm clear when they come asking.

I'm asking you to do what you said you were going to do,

which is eliminate that goddamn creature.

For your own safety, you must leave the strike zone immediately.

- I repeat, leave the strike zone. - What are you doing?

Please advise. Command? Command?

We are weapons hot.

We're running out of road here, Lieutenant. Now make the call.

This is command. What's your position?

Five klicks northeast of Snooks Arm and holding.

Raven Flight,

you can stand down. Thank you.

Thanks to that fisherman, the harbor is no longer under threat.

Residents can return home.

The thing is

most cephalopods only mate once in their life.

After they spawn, they die.

When the eggs are ready to hatch,

the mother stops hunting.

She stops eating.

She starves herself,

giving all of her bodily nutrients over to her eggs.

Then she uses the last of her oxygen

to blow her hatchlings out of the den.

And then,

her long ordeal is finally over.

So none of them made it?

Oh no.

Water's too warm.

Huh. That's really sad.

Mm-hmm.

And it's just getting warmer.

Then who knows what's next.

So when are you townies coming home to visit?

Soon. We got another meeting with the lawyers next week.

What for? I thought the vote got tossed out.

It was, but the Crockers are pushing for another one, of course.

- You knows what they're like. - Yeah, well.

At least we now know what everybody's worth.

What are you having, my love?

Congratulations.

Not bad for a foolish bit of ice.

I mean… Wow, it's very impressive.

- And I'm happy you get your cut. - Oh yes, well, good.

It's the only thing keeping the, uh, lights on now.

- Well, I should get going. - Oh!

- Got somebody waiting for me. - Yeah, okay, yeah, good.

Will you be around later? I can give you the grand tour.

Yeah. Yes, I'll be here.

Okay, then.

Okay.

Cod stocks are up again this year, and they're big as dogs, me son. Look!

Mind now, Paddy.

Noseworthy.

Come on.
