Previously on surface.

My little bro's first rig dive, huh? You popped? You popped?

And I don't think you were in your right mind.

When what? When George drowned. George did not drown.

Something happened.

Something's wrong.

Something's coming up.

This morning you saw a sea monster.

yeah alexander circo's here i've been answering your questions for three hours

life isn't fair authorities claim that the decomposed carcass is a sperm whale

some locals are less sure so what do you think it is eggs

your parents won't notice

Whoa, what happened? What does it look like happened, Phil?

The tank broke?

Yeah. Where's Miles?

He's upstairs trashing my bathroom. Could we please forgo the hysterics? I

heard him in there. Mommy's trashing it. Work on the floor.

Miles, Dave!

Miles! Psst.

Psst.

Close the door.

Hurry up.

We gotta put it in something.

The cooler.

The big one.

What are you doing

with that?

Nothing. Get in here, Miles. This instant.

Hide him.

Where? I hope he's gonna look.

Thank you very much.

I said chill.

Miles, do you mind telling me why you did that to your sister's bathroom?

I slipped and reached out and grabbed the curtain with my hand.

What is he doing out there?

Good question.

Go out there, tell him to put the hose back up where he found it, get his bike

off my bushes, and get home immediately. Understood?

Yes, ma'am.

What are you doing?

Just giving my homie some aqua. You gotta go. Mom's freaking.

Okay.

Bouchard called.

DNA in a week to ten days. If we can fly to Palo Alto tonight.

Then we'll know. Go, go.

Three new fatalities.

Confirmed attack on the launch for the Argentinian search and rescue.

Where? Just off the Falklands. First sighting below the 50th parallel.

Looks like you caught your fish.

Congratulations, Doctor.

I didn't expect the Pentagon here.

I've been assigned to supervise the study.

My understanding was that I answered directly to Dahl.

You do.

Through me.

What's the setting on the pneumatic?

We don't know the bone structure.

And the last thing we want is for this jaw to snap.

Clear vertebrate structure.

Width over 40 inches.

What a pressure.

A clear set of gills. Yes.

Hagfish are all over this thing.

Extreme infestation.

feeding all the carcass.

You should see a digestive tract that should lead you to the lungs.

Yes, I can see them.

You were right.

Right about what, Dr. Serko?

It's a mammal.

How many cups of coffee?

I'm way past the coffee at this point, baby.

Hey, did you call your mother?

No, I'll call her.

Hon, you've got to call her. I said I'd call her.

Right, I mean, I love George too.

I just need you here.

Honey, you believe me, right?

I believe that you believe.

We flew to South Carolina.

Don't worry about it. I'm going to tell him it's fine.

I mean, it's an adventure.

Adventure? Yes, it is. It's an adventure.

We're going to see Mommy's marine vertebrate.

By order

of

the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the area is to be evacuated immediately.

Let's go, people. Everyone must leave the island. We are securing the island.

Everyone must leave the island. Keep moving, folks. Stay in your vehicles,

please. Everyone must leave the island.

Everyone must leave the island at once.

By order of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, this area is to be

evacuated. Why can't they tell us anything?

This is a public beach.

Look, I told you. A tanker spill has caused a red tide.

Hi, I'm from the Monterey Oceanographic Institute.

Do you have a clearance ID, ma'am? No, I don't, but I'm an oceanographer and a

doctor. I'm sorry, ma'am. I can't let you through. This is a red tide.

It's fish kill.

It's highly toxic.

Now, you've either got to have a blue or yellow badge to get through here. Hang

on a second, man.

Excuse me. Hang on a second now. I just drove all night to get here. Are you

telling me I can't go in that beach?

Well, yes, sir, there is. I just drove all the way from Louisiana. They've got

a CDC evac here, sir.

Sir, I've got a kind of a special situation.

I was just in a diving accident about three days ago, and it really helped me.

All right, people, we have water to make everyone to the far side of the

intercoastal waterway. It really helped me out if I could get on it.

All right, listen, this is America, all right? If I want to go on that damn

beach, I'm going to go on that beach, you understand? Your evacuation?

What kind of evacuation needs a gun?

He's got a point. I'm sorry, ma'am, no one's talking to you right now. I know,

but it's just an evacuation.

We've been given orders to evacuate this island, and that's exactly what we're

doing. Hey,

stop that guy!

Thank you, Lord, for all you have blessed us with.

Despite the misfortune of losing an antique Persian rug, a sectional couch,

and a very expensive coffee table to the great tank flood of 2005.

Did you get an appraiser? Of course.

Guess how much, Daddy?

Fourteen. Fourteen thousand dollars. I'm in.

I'm in.

I mean, a tank just can't break like that, can it?

I don't know where all the fish went.

I mean, I want to know where all the fish went.

As well as you all did.

Look, given the level of chaos around here, I think we ought to postpone Cabo.

Mom,

um, the trip is tomorrow. Wouldn't that mean you'd have to eat the tickets?

Yeah. Good point, honey.

Well, in case you've forgotten, your son was recently brought home by the

authorities in the middle of the night. Oh, we're straight about that.

We have a new regime.

Mom, how can we grow up to be responsible if you don't give us

responsibility?

Give it a second gotta wait on the argon assist give it long enough. It'll scar

diamonds Open

her up a bit.

We've got about 25 gigs. That's it

What did I tell you?

Slowly now, slowly.

You should be getting very close to the vertebrae.

Hang on.

Hang on.

Getting a lot of noise.

2,500 RMS.

We should shut it down.

Almost through.

Shut it down.

Give me a little more time.

I said shut it down.

Shut it down now!

Hey, I saw you make a break for it out there. You all right?

Turn my knee a little bit. I'm okay.

They charge you?

No.

Said they would if I did it again.

Why'd you do it?

You don't mind me asking? I wanted to see the whale.

The red tide.

There is no red tide.

You were outside earlier.

Seagulls are fine.

Red tide poisoned the bait fish, bait fish poisoned the seagulls.

Dr.

Laura Daughtry.

Where's Con?

That's my son, Jesse.

I got two at home just like him. Oh, yeah?

So... I think there's

something fishy going on around here.

Have you ever

seen any of this?

Thanks for helping us out here.

Don't really have much of a choice, do I? At least have a seat.

Hey, Jesse.

I'm Colonel Rutger.

Did you come a long way on an airplane?

Any questions you have, you can address to me.

I was just wondering what brought you all the way to Sullivan's Island. And I

was just wondering who gave you the authority to ask. The Center for Disease

Control. There's an airborne virus that comes from dead marine mammals. It's

rare, but transmittable to human beings with an 82% mortality rate.

I see.

For your protection and that of others, we'll need to know your whereabouts for

the next 90 days.

We need to take your blood. I'm sorry?

Jessie's too.

I don't like shots.

I know, baby.

I know.

Look. If I answer your questions, you don't have to take his blood.

Yes, we do.

It's for public health.

Ah, okay.

All right, well, I'll tell you what. No sale here, and I don't really feel like

talking to y'all anymore.

She violated a direct order from a military officer at a public quarantine

site today.

That and the assault are federal crimes.

Please, don't force us to press charges.

Take a seat.

It's like if E.T. had sex with Bigfoot.

I don't care what it is, really.

Have you named it?

No. How about Cornelius?

How about not Nimrod?

Dude, Nimrod the iguana.

Hey, read the part about feeding.

Before feeding, it is important to let your reptile know that feeding time has

arrived.

Place the alfalfa pellets directly in front of your pet.

What's that?

Fish stick.

Do not make eye contact.

Iguanas are wild animals.

They may perceive you to be a predator bent on devouring them.

I don't get it. He ate the fish before.

Look at him, dude. You're pissing him off.

Is he married, doctor?

Why do we ask?

The damage to his face was extensive.

A three-inch flap from his right cheek was taken off.

I've only seen that kind of displacement with car accidents, usually when a

patient's thrown through the windshield.

Yes, he's married.

Is he awake? Yes, and he doesn't know.

Could I?

If I'd known morphine was this good, I'd have started sooner.

How did the rest of the vivisection go?

Don't worry.

Got a little spike in your pulse there, Mr. Singh.

How are you feeling?

Hot.

Heart beat 250, cardiac arrhythmia.

Okay, give me 20 milligrams of diltiazem stat.

His ventricles could rupture. If you could wait outside, sir.

Okay, still SVT.

They got a blockade down here, okay? Do you understand?

You would not believe the kind of response they got going on here for a

dang whale.

Are you in trouble, or... No, no, no, no, no. I mean, no legal trouble, you

know, but, uh... I mean, none of this is gonna cost any money, okay? They did...

Take a little blood, but... Rich, hon.

Okay, I am trying to be supportive here, but the way that you're acting right

now... Baby,

I know. It's okay. I love you. I'm gonna have to call you back.

No.

Hey there.

Hey.

Interested in buying that boat?

You're five minutes late. I just sold it. Oh, no, hey, listen.

I'm gonna double whatever they gave you. I gotta have that boat. I can't do that.

I'll triple it.

That she can do.

Follow me.

Look there's who bought it over there now you to duke it out and bring me back

to money Hey,

we say we go Dutch on the boat Center for disease control.

Yeah, that's what your hogwash And then the only reason they took our blood, you

know to intimidate us, huh? You guys keep camo in the back your truck. I do

it's hunting season I'm invisible.

We can see them, but they can't see us.

I hope they can't see us.

That thing took my brother.

I ain't leaving till I get a look at it.

That's what I like to see.

Don't stay up too late. School late tomorrow.

School's my job, Dad.

That's my boy.

Nym.

Nymmy.

Nymrod.

Nymmy, Nymmy, Nymmy. I got you some food.

Some good food.

Some sushi.

You hungry, Nym?

Nym.

Come on, Nym. It's sushi.

Sushi.

Okay, all right.

This is so awesome, Mom.

I'm going to go ahead and make sure the code is clear.

Mom, are we breaking the law?

No, baby. It's a public beach.

Mom? Mom?

Shh, shh, shh.

What kind of snakes are they? They're not snakes, baby. They're hagfish.

They feed on dead whales.

Okay. Do you have another knife on you?

Come on, I got my pants on, don't I?

Here. Thanks.

That is the stomach.

Ew. That's gross.

No, it's not, baby. It's natural.

You have one, too.

Leave that on the carcass.

See, I can analyze these pieces and figure out what washed up on that beach.

Nope.

It's not a whale.

Don't forget to pay Roberto.

Checks on the kitchen counter. Already made up, so don't get any ideas.

Oh, my orchids. Don't forget my orchids. Water them tomorrow, Miles. That'll be

your job. I won't forget.

Make sure he doesn't forget.

He won't. Okay, see you, bud. Okay, contact number's on the fridge. We're on

the red-eye, so try not to call tomorrow.

Don't do anything you wouldn't be proud of the whole world knowing.

Great. See ya.

We'll take care of everything.

We trust you.

Adios. Bye.

I'm gonna have some people over tomorrow, so don't freak.

I'm sorry about today.

I made a mistake.

I shouldn't have brought you here.

Tonight was the best night of my life.

How's he doing?

All right.

I think.

Good night, sweet prince. Sorry about the creepy dead hagfish and the felony

trespassing, you know.

The sooner he finds out what the world's really like, the better.

It's hard to know what to do.

You got that right.

It's out there, isn't it?

Whatever it is.

Yes, it is.

What happened to your brother?

Well, I took him spearfishing.

I had an offshore rig.

And we chased a grouper about 75 feet down.

And we were just sitting there in the dark, waiting, when it swam up on us.

The animal that you drew in your notebook?

Yeah.

It was George's first time.

He didn't know any better, you know.

So we shot it.

They drug him down?

Yeah.

Rich, I'm so sorry.

Me too.

Whoa, dude. Amber alert.

Check out the bikini.

More babies?

Natural.

Why are Bilbo and Frodo going to your playhouse?

I do not want to know.

Hey, baby, what's up?

Beezer and Kevin said they might come by later.

That's cool.

Okay. For no one else.

I was a little nymphster.

Circling the drain.

Death watch, no.

He won't eat anything.

Oh well, if he croaks, we know there's more eggs.

I like this one.

There have been some complications.

The diltiazem we administered had no effect.

His heart rate spiked to nearly 300 beats per minute, then collapsed without

warning. We tried resuscitation. I was about to pronounce when the nurse found

an extremely faint pulse.

He's essentially comatose, although the more accurate physiological term might

be hibernation.

What is his heart rate now?

Less than five.

Come on dude, we gotta take a shot at this.

Come on.

Where are we going?

Over there.

What's over there?

Stuff.

What's wrong with the house?

The house is boring.

Your bro's got a stash out here.

That's what he's been up to out here, pilfering my dad's beer.

The little dude's drank it all.

That's awesome.

The hands are freezing.

Autumn, yourself.

Meow.

I think he's feeling better.

She's a marine biologist.

She's got all kinds of degrees, but she saw the same thing I did.

So we got our phone numbers, got email, gonna keep in touch.

Okay, that's great.

Baby, it is great. It means I'm not crazy.

I know, okay, great.

Glad you got some things cleared up.

Tracy, this is real for me.

There's a lot of real things going on right now.

Come on, now this is a good thing. It means I'm not crazy.

Barry, you're gonna love this.

I gotta get this over to Patricia Fisher at NOAA to analyze the stomach contents.

These hagfish fed on the carcass.

Dantra, you can't be here.

Did you hear me correctly? These animals, they fed on the carcass in

South Carolina. I heard you. You cannot be here.

They got this last night.

You shouldn't have gone to South Carolina.

They know I went to South Carolina.

In order to keep the capital grant, it is necessary to cease and desist all

activities related to the benthic studies program.

I'm out of a job?

I wish there was something I could do.

I filed a petition to have your research returned at a future date. It's not just

about the research. I need a job, Barry. I've got a kid. I've got real-world

issues. We all got that.

What? Do these people get to you?

When the U.S. Army tells me to stay out of something, I'm going to do it, okay?

I'm a citizen. Well, so am I. And I have a right to my own work and a right to my

own research and a right to know what's down there.

This is going to help me.

Spalding City.

Do you have any... idea what this is going to cost you? You can't bust me.

I'll tell them about the party. You're keeping a baby sleep stack in the

backyard. You threw a huge party that got busted by the police.

You tell on me, I tell on you.

Mutually assured destruction.

All I know is that party was live as hell.

Live as hell.

Dude, that's it.

Whoa.

I think he likes him alive.

Mr. Singh?

Hey, guys.

We're home.

Hey. Hey.

You doing all right?

Yeah. Did you miss us?

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Hey. Right. How are you? Hey, honey.

Yeah.

Hey, the house looks great.

You guys cleaned up after the party pretty well.

Good one, Dad.

No, seriously.

You guys have any trouble?

No. Mm-mm. No. Not really.

What we learned from the carcass? That we have more questions.

I did however confirm it's amphibious.

Although whether that holds for adults is still unclear.

Its range estimate has been extended as well.

But we don't know if it's part of a migratory pattern or through sheer

propagation.

We don't know what happened to the Topeka. Does the uncertainty make you

nervous, Davis?

Think beyond your work for a moment.

Think as a human being.

It's a wonderful time to be alive.

I envy you.

Your enthusiasm.

The men I work for are not like that.

They're addicted to facts.

They want to know.

Politics are for those who know.

Sciences.

for those who will learn.

Hello? Hey, it's Rich.

I can't sleep.

Me neither.

They fired me.

Took my grant.

Well, you must be doing something right.

They know we got a piece of it?

No. I'm taking it to the lab tomorrow.

What are you gonna do?

This ain't over till I find out what got my brother.

That's Australian for shark bite.

Oh, yeah.

Holy mother of God!

It's gonna be a fight.

Steady, mate.

Closer.

Closer.

What? Drag her up, mate.

Man slays the beast.
