Previously on surface.

Something's wrong.

Something's coming up.

This is where you first encountered it. The exact latitude.

Well, that can't be a coincidence.

There are consequences here beyond any you may have imagined.

Is that a threat?

AP is reporting that the lake collapsed into a sinkhole. So far, it's getting

traction. Containment's my specialty.

George did not drown.

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

Rich.

Rich!

You're spilling, man.

Rich? Honey?

My brother, George.

He's still alive.

He's talking to me.

I hate it when he does that.

He's so sick.

I don't think Sylvia's gonna be down with your little goblin gulag.

If you tell mom about them, it'll be war.

Just wait a minute.

Miles! Miles!

Miles!

It's okay.

It's fine.

It's heaven on earth. I may never come home done.

Hey, they think my fee's too high. Tell them to get another malpractice

attorney.

Mommy's working, honey. There's monsters in the water.

I'm not the one who left the reticulator cartridge in the strap.

Hang on a second. What is it, honey? You know, the kind you eat. The color...

Calamari? Yeah, that's it.

Put that down. Put that down.

Where did you get that?

Over there.

You like your new home, boy?

Watch this.

I've been working with it.

Go.

Nice. Let me try. Let me try.

All right.

Last goldfish.

He's eating me out of house and home. Hey, you got any money?

If I had any money, I'd be hanging with you.

Maybe we can advertise him. Like a monster truck rally.

Nimrod, Nimrod, Nimrod.

No. Negative. Not happening. And chicks, man. Chicks dig anything with big round

eyes. Something they can cuddle.

Uh, newsflash. He's a secret. Think about it. Who wouldn't pay to see this?

Go!

They have to understand.

The species has burrowed into the lithosphere.

That will mean nothing. Bringing hot magma to the surface.

There is evidence of undersea eruptions, the heating of the world's oceans, which

in turn is affecting the Gulf Stream.

You know that unequivocally? No, it's a strong word.

Well, have you captured one?

You know, we haven't. Do you know the extent of the species?

49 sightings in less than five months.

Is the species a product of evolution, hibernation? Is it from here? Is it from

somewhere else?

We are eliminating possibilities every day.

My point is, don't go talking about how the sky is falling to you. You have a

way to back it up with proof.

Theory won't cut it.

Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Alexander Serko.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a northern snakehead.

Native to China, it's distinguished by its small head, large mouth, big teeth,

and its ability to walk on land.

The snakehead can survive out of the water.

It has a particularly voracious appetite.

Since its accidental introduction into the Potomac River, it has decimated the

local fish stocks and tipped the river's ecosystem.

It is what is known as an invasive species.

But another invasive species has emerged into the world's ocean, a species

unknown to science.

a species I have been appointed to investigate.

This is what we know.

The animal has a confirmed length of over 200 feet.

There have been 49 sightings, as far north as the Bering Strait and as far

south as the Cape of Good Hope.

The species is an omnivore, feeding on everything, from blue-pointed sharks

to killer whales to possibly...

human beings It is my opinion that if left unchecked the species will throw

the marine ecology of its axis Where

does it come from its origin is unknown Its

consequences are not

Yeah. George?

Yeah.

He's not dead.

Well, the radiologist looked at your MRI, Rich, and so did I.

Okay. Well, there's no evidence of concussion from the accident, no brain

hemorrhage, no infarction, no plaque that might indicate MS.

No tumors.

Okay, which is?

Well, no brain tumor is always good news.

So I'm okay?

Physically, yes.

Why don't you tell me about your experiences?

My experiences?

Tracy tells me you keep reliving the accident.

Dr. Davey thinks you might have post-traumatic stress syndrome. And how

long have y'all been talking about me? I've talked to him once or twice over

the last two days.

You don't believe me. I don't know what to believe.

Look, doc.

This ain't no syndrome, okay?

This is real.

My brother is trying to talk to me.

What makes you think your dead brother's trying to get in touch with you?

Faith?

Because calamari is breaded. Yes, uh, fried calamari. Well, I assume that it

would be pan-fried.

Yes,

and I would like melted organic butter.

Uh, yes, ma'am. Uh, one de-breaded calamari, one hand-melted, board

-certified, cruelty-free butter. Excuse me.

Mom, Ms. Ph.D., you got a pickup.

Uh, can I get a pan-fried calamari and a yuppie butter?

Explain how this works. I say push the squid, you say yes, sir.

Clean it up.

I usually like my calamari pan-fried.

You know how much squid the Amber Five caught today? Almost two tons. Jerry

said the ocean's full of them.

Starting to skeed me up.

Whales, Jackson.

Whales feed on squid.

Tons and tons of squid.

Except they're not.

Either these whales' migrations have been so disrupted that they're avoiding

their normal feeding grounds, or something's feeding on them.

Remember that pot of grays that I was studying?

Not taking you whale hunting.

This time of year, they're right off the Farallons. Like clockwork.

I need to track a whale by satellite. If I can do that, then I can finally find

out what they're running from.

Process D, I said no. I've got tapes. I've got low-end whale calls on tape. A

transducer. We can just call them in.

Plus, Jackson, you're the only person I know with a large enough boat.

And yes, I admit it, I'm totally using you.

You think you can just show up here, convince me to chum a whole day and

night, and spend a tank full of diesel just so you can go out and play Captain

Ahab?

Yes.

I like your style.

Help you with something?

Yeah.

Is this all you got?

You owe me. $80 plus tax for the jewelry box you and Slimy broke.

Not you, it was other Slimy.

That, yeah. Why don't you just say so?

Okay.

Thank you.

You little creep!

That was...

Some Valentine's gift you gave Greg.

Can you imagine what mom and dad would think if the originals just fell in

their hands?

And the money.

You're going down.

Bye-bye. Have a nice day.

The pharmacist said this is going to make you feel less anxious, okay?

I don't want it.

You don't get to want it, hon.

The doctor said it would help. You need to take it.

How many times do I have to tell you?

George is trying to communicate with me.

I've got to be able to listen.

Honey, come on. Come on. Let's put that away, okay?

Let's go. Give me that blanket.

All right, kid. Game tied. Count full. You got a threat to steal it first.

Curve. You don't have the control. Give him your money pitch.

Fastball high and tight.

Last month, our first weather balloon came down in a soybean field in

Nebraska. Since then, we've lost 30, most recently in Muncie.

It dropped 50 degrees in the Mojave last night. The jet streams moved 100 miles

north. Meanwhile, I got a frozen lake in Manitoba that melted in about two days.

Oh, yeah, look at this.

Baseline water temps are up almost two degrees.

That's not seasonal. It's not even regional.

I mean, in every ocean, every reading we have.

Greenhouse effect.

This can't be explained atmospherically. I mean, you know.

It's coming from the deep ocean, your neck of the woods.

Thank you, Brad.

If you would send the rest of your data here, all of it, I have a federal

emergency order.

That's okay.

I trust you.

Just tell me where you think this thing is going.

Straight to hell.

You go out with him.

He's not even a quarterback. I don't care.

He's cute.

I have a question.

You think Phil is cute?

Chill

out,

man.

Some patience.

Amber Lou will never be interested in you. She's a hot sophomore.

I know you're hungry, Nim. I'm working on it. What's the worst that could

happen? He starves to death. Not him. Me.

Amber could do a lot worse than me.

A lot worse.

What's up, ladies?

Amber, do you smell something?

Oh. Hi, Phil.

So, Amber.

You like pets, don't you?

Uh-huh. Because me and my boy, we got something fat up the crib.

What? Secret.

Gotta check it out for yourself.

Well, I'll tell you this.

You'll eat a goldfish right out of Miles' hand.

How is Miles?

He's good.

Real good.

Why do you want to know?

I think he's cute.

Barf.

I do.

Well, hey then, I gotta jet. You should definitely come over sometime.

Definitely.

Tell Miles I said hi.

I have insurance, don't I?

And it covers plumbing.

Yes, ma'am.

But only if you use accredited plumbers, Mrs. Bauckham. I've been paying my

insurance 42 years.

I understand.

Let me just show them where the extent of damage is, okay?

It's over here in the side yard.

See for yourself.

It's a nightmare.

Mr. Connolly?

Everything all right?

Mr.

Connolly?

Mr. Connolly?

You

should be

here.

Mothers and calves usually come pretty close to shore.

Wait,

there. There.

It's driftwood.

I understand.

These whales gotta get down to Baja to breed.

I haven't seen a single orca or dolphin this entire trip. They're usually

chasing my bow.

Dutch.

What happened here?

Rabbit traps?

Can't afford to keep buying them food, so I'm gonna start catching rabbit bait.

Dude, talk to Amber.

Close shot. Check out nymphs in time.

What? Dude, she's into it. She loves pets. She's got that little dog. What's

his name? You sold out nymphs you could get with Amber Lou?

Dude, rewind.

She's interested in you.

I know. I didn't believe it either.

That's not the point.

We can't share nymphs.

Whoa, dude.

We're 14 years old. We have to chase girls. That's our job.

That doesn't mean... I'm not letting you go all willy on me, okay?

We need to get to first base with a non-amphibian.

What are you doing?

I'm going to see if any of them are still alive.

Do the words shark bait mean anything to you? This wasn't a shark that did this.

Okay, how's that?

The way it's torn in half from below. Probably a killer whale or something.

Okay, that's it. This boat leaves in 60 seconds. Maybe a school of predators,

parents teaching their young to feed.

Gotcha.

I think I'll stay in the boat.

Great idea.

Jackson, come on. Come on. We can't let it get away.

Hang on to something.

I said hang on to something. I've got to document this.

I don't think he likes being chased.

You're not out here looking for whales, are you?

Nothing.

Got you. Hey.

You all right?

It's been a long day.

Fools. They don't see what is right before them.

I understand there are caveats.

But what's worst-case scenario?

The Earth sustains geological, meteorological cataclysms on a scale not

seen since the Old Testament.

These are men that deny the greenhouse effect.

Is that how you intend to silence me?

By requiring proof?

No.

It's how I intend to help you.

Hey, guess what Daddy got for you. Will you bring us, Daddy?

Fireworks? Yeah, come on. Let's go shoot them. Come on, let's go, let's go.

There it goes.

We got another.

Isn't this awesome, girls?

Uh-huh.

Yeah. Hello?

Wait a minute. I can't hear you.

that you lost your job? Oh, honey, no. It's medical leave. There's nothing

wrong. Everything's fine.

Dad, you got fired?

No. How are we going to live, Rich?

Huh? Why will you just not take your medicine? Because I'm not sick. Healthy

people do not hallucinate, Rich. You need to take it.

No, I don't.

Forget it.

Girl's in the car right now. Come on, now. You're overreacting, honey.

I've made up my mind, okay?

When you can call me and tell me that you are the sane, happy, fun guy. that i

married i will be back but i am i am that funny good man i'm just clearer you

are not you are completely in denial and i cannot live like this baby please

tracy listen i'm sorry all right i won't do it anymore just please stop honey

please i'm right what are you gonna do you're gonna run me over

Close the window. Honey, what are you doing?

You need to talk this out loud.

He loves you, Mom.

Please, just get out of the truck.

Honey,

that's real good, honey. I'm good with our kids, huh?

You're lucky I have batteries and bulbs.

Here.

Yeah, Jackson, we're going out to look for some whales.

Big, dumb, docile.

It'll be mellow.

If I told you, you wouldn't have believed me.

No, and I wouldn't have gone either.

Sit here.

Light,

please. Yeah, yeah.

Can you turn... Yeah, I know, I am.

The pulse torched the contacts.

Freaking slag.

The ignition wires are fused together. If I can separate them and jerry-rig

something, I may be able to get her started. But there's not much we can do

until morning.

Two o'clock. Where?

Wait, no, no, no, sorry, never mind.

I'm zoned. Jeez.

We could. We could sleep in shifts.

We could. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

All in all, I'm taking this pretty well.

You coaxed me and my boat on a snipe hunt for a dinosaur.

Then you suggest we sleep in shifts.

Hey, ground rules.

I know. I get it.

I just want to be your friend.

That was a one-time thing. I was coming out of a divorce.

Just a rebound.

No problem. I can play that part.

That thing was huge today.

Four times bigger than the boat.

If only you didn't have to eat live food.

What?

Nothing. I was just... Nothing.

Phil tells me you guys have a pet.

Well, uh... Yeah, yeah.

I'm really into animals.

Biology's my best subject.

Me too.

But you haven't taken it yet.

Um, yeah, yeah.

Well, I just, I meant that I'm looking forward to it.

You know, next year, when I'm in year grade.

Well, if you have any problems, just give me a call.

Mr. Marasco's a real tool.

So you think maybe I could come over to Phil's later?

See your new bud?

Uh, I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

You know what our problem is?

Language. I mean, how many misunderstandings and fights and wars

get started because human beings say the wrong thing at the wrong time?

You know?

Whereas animals, they can't talk.

Which means they can't lie.

They don't play games.

Sometimes I think my dog understands me better than my parents.

My pet, Nimrod,

he can be kind of jumpy.

That's okay.

We don't have to take him for a walk or anything.

How about five?

I'd like that.

If I see anything... I'm gonna pull, okay? Like that. And then you come up

back. You hear me?

Um, I'd like to have every possible second I could to avoid being eaten.

Yeah, I know. All right?

Ready? I'm already shrinking.

Don't think too long.

Okay.

All clear?

All clear!

Jackson, get back in the boat!

Get back in the boat!

Come on! What? Get back in the boat! What, what, did you see it?

Did you see it?

Shoot, no, sorry. God.

Sorry, I got scared. I got scared.

You want the good news or the bad news?

Good news.

I found the problem.

Okay. Bad news?

I can't fix it.

The engine's working, but the prop is busted. We sheared the key on the shaft.

It has to be replaced.

My hands are too big.

Mine aren't.

You're not going in there.

Why not?

Because you're a... That's what I thought.

Okay. Line?

Line. Okay.

Watching? Watching.

You got it? Not yet. One more.

You sure that... Not tight yet.

You got it? Get in here.

It's right under my feet.

Don't treat. Don't treat.

No!

The GPS!

I see you.

If I.

Well, I sure like what you got done with the place here.

Little Trace sent me out to check up on you. Should I just tell her you're

losing your grip?

No, I ain't saying you ain't had no problem.

What do you used to say to us in high school for the game?

Going gets tough.

Tough get going.

Well, that's some dumbass thing.

Yeah, sure, they'd fire us up, though, didn't they?

You mind if I ask you one question?

What makes you so special?

Huh?

What makes you so special that you get to talk to your dead brother and no one

else gets to?

You know, I miss my grandmother, but I don't get to talk to her, none.

I don't expect you to understand.

Well, now, now, that, that, you got it right, boy.

Because you got a family, and they love you.

Them two baby girls, they need you, boy.

You got a choice you got to make, bud.

I gotta go back.

I'd like to be on record as saying this is a bad idea.

One of your worst.

Here's a little something.

At least that big sumbitch shows up.

There's just a few basic rules.

Don't look at it straight in his eyes.

Don't get too close to the edge.

And, uh, and, well, you don't happen to have any battery-operated devices on

you, do you? Just catch her.

Oh,

we should probably put her on a leash. Oh, I don't believe in that.

Okay.

Um, sure.

Oh, yeah, and don't, don't bury your teeth.

Are you smiling?

Not at him.

This sounds feisty.

You'll protect me?

Absolutely.

I just wanted to say, I think it's really cool that you trust me enough to

bring me here.

Not a lot of guys would have done that.

You're welcome.

I think openness is very attractive.

Is something wrong? No, no, no.

I brushed, I swear.

It's okay.

You really think she liked you?

Her last boyfriend was in college.

But really, I'm glad you brushed.

Can we get out of here now?

Our work is done.

Cooch! Here, Coochie!

Coochie Coo! Let's go!

Listen, if there's something that you're trying to tell me, or

something I need to know,

then just come on with it.

Please just tell me something.

All right, George.

Here I am.

Now, you gotta tell me what you want me to do.

Alright?

You gotta tell me what you want me to do.

Where's the signal? Where'd it go?

Damn EMI filter.

Well, you said it was working, right? Will you shut up? Sorry. I've got a six

-channel chipset, a cigarette adapter from a 93 Saab, and a very rich yacht

owner who's gonna be pissed when he goes looking for his napstick. Look, there it

is. There it is.

It's about 200 miles offshore.

Are we getting longitude and latitude?

Signal active at 30-second intervals, and I'm recording.

My God.

What?

Traveled 80 miles in a half an hour.

Stabilizing our feed.

Boom! Locked in!

As long as your tag battery lasts, I think we got him.

Do you know what this means?

We can track its feeding patterns, dive time, range, lung capacity.

Thank you.

Hey, Richie!

Here we go.

Did you get it figured out?

I think I did.

Well, I went back out to the rig.

That's the last place I saw him alive.

Got back in the water and asked George what he wanted from me.

You know what he said?

He said, what the hell are you doing in the Gulf of Mexico?

You know, they're asking the same question.

Oh, man.

I'm gonna leave you to it.

Welcome back. Thank you, Bob.

Baby. Hey, it's me.

What's going on?

Yeah, I'm back.

Mm-hmm.

Back to being me.

I just need to go get a little egg, you know.

Uh, just went out in the boat.

Yeah.

Maybe.

I gotta call you back.
