(KADEE WHOOPING)

KADEE: Let's see. Over there.

Somewhere over there
is Austin.

That's where I go to school.

(MALLORY WHOOPING)
And down there
on the boat,

that is Mallory and Garth.

Great job, Kadee!

Just look at her!

Good job!

You know, I cannot believe
you guys talked me into this.

I can't believe she did it.
I'd wet my pants.

(KADEE WHOOPING)

Let's see. Over there is...

What is that?

KADEE: What...

GARTH: You're doing great!

Mallory, turn around!

Turn around! Look out!

Oh, my God! Turn around!

(EXCLAIMING)

Go that way.

Look at her.
She is scared to death!

Guys, look out! Look out!

(WHOOPING)

(SCREAMING)

KADEE: Oh, my God!

(ALL SCREAMING)

KADEE: Look out!

Oh, my God!

(LOW GROWLING)

(NIM GRUNTING)

(MAN CHATTERING ON TV)

SYLVIA: Is that
age-appropriate behavior?
RON: Hmm?

All that time in a playhouse.

They're making a fort.
Boys make forts.

(WATER SPLASHING)

You ready, Nim?

(NIM GRUNTING)

(NIM SCREECHING)

PHIL: What do you think
of your new home?

He digs it.

(NIM PURRING)

(BELLS RINGING)

You realize
this is a misappropriation
of university funds.

I would have gone
someplace else,

but I don't know
that many people
who can barcode DNA.

Well, there's that.
Yeah.

So where'd you
get the sample?

Intestines of a hagfish.

A hagfish
is a primitive vertebrate.

It feeds on carrion.

Really?
So what is it?

Well, it's 90% junk DNA,
10% Liopleurodon.

What's that?
Kind of a prehistoric eel.

Is that a species
that exists near the rift?

Well, it did.
Liopleurodon is extinct.

It has been
for 100 million years.

Honey, honey!
What?

I found the perfect thing
for us to do as a family.

Oh, that would be good.
Hey! Hey, girls! Who wants
to go on an adventure?

BOTH: We do! We do!

What kind of adventure?

It's gonna be
the type of adventure where
we learn all about new animals

that are just now
being discovered.

What kind of animals, Daddy?
Like the ones you saw
in the ocean?

"Southeastern Cryptozoology
Conference".
Yeah, yeah! In Houston!

Today! Today!
Isn't that cool?
Cryptozoology?

(CHUCKLING) Yeah, yeah.
It's the...

It's the study
of undocumented animals.
Mmm-hmm.

Oh! And guess what, girls?

They're gonna
teach us how to make
a plaster casting track.

You know,
that's the thing you put...
Plaster casting track.

And then they're gonna
have field photography

I can't believe we're having
this conversation, actually.
Baby, come on.

At the very least,
it's a family outing, right?
Yeah.

Come on, girls!
We gotta go, go, go!

(RICH WHOOPING)

This is gonna be a ball.
Awesome!

Awesome!

Great.

Nim?

Got you some goldfish, Nim.

(NIM PURRING)

You know it's dinner time,
don't you, Nim?

Here you go.

(NIM SQUAWKING)

I hate it when he does that.

That is so sick.

MAN: I'll take one.

WOMAN: Here you go.
MAN: Thank you.

WOMAN 2: Hi, how you doing?

RICH: Get one of these.

MAN 2: You can see
it's amphibian in nature.

EMILY: Hey,
let's go over here!

Girls, stay
where I can see you.

MAN 3: Oddly enough,
this specimen has eleven legs.

WOMAN 3: I myself saw
a marine humanoid off the Keys

swim parallel to our boat
for over 90 minutes.

She's the most rational woman
you've ever met.

Till this day
she's got a weekend that
she just can't account for.

MAN 4: Hundred and eleven men
on the USS Topeka
are still unaccounted for,

despite
the government cover-up
that they lost the sub.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Did you take that?

May 17th, 2002.

Twenty miles off Mobile.

It made a sound I do not want
to hear twice in my life.

I can see by your interest
that you've had an encounter.

(CLEARS THROAT)

As a matter of fact...
Late May, maybe June?

Late May.
How long
were you in contact?

One, maybe two minutes.

Did you see the lights?

Dozens.
You know, that's a first.

Do you mind if I make a record
of your experience?

I absolutely mind.

Any side effects
since the encounter?

Yeah, I mean,
I've been having some

episodes, you know,
like panic attacks.

Of course you have.
It's the only sane response
to the insane.

EMILY: Mom?
What is it, honey?

There are dinosaurs
in the Bible.

You know, I've had
similar panic attacks.

I've had some
recurring nightmares.
Rich.

Do you hear voices?
Baby, hang on a second.

I'm talking about something
real important here.
We are leaving.

Honey, we just got here.
Now.

So how long
were you a prisoner?

What?

A prisoner
in the Aquatic City.

CIRKO: You're in
perfect health.

Recovery's total,
best we can tell.

When can I see my kids?

Lee's okayed
a phone call in time,

but I want to keep you
under observation
for a few more weeks.

Never thought
I'd be the one
under the microscope.

Excuse me for interrupting.

There's been a new citing,
in Texas.

In the Gulf?
No.

Three hundred miles inland.

(SIREN WAILING)

Fourteen
confirmed casualties.

AP's reporting that the lake
collapsed into a sinkhole.

So far it's getting traction.
For now.

Relax.

Containment's
my specialty.

Have we sent anyone below?

The heat is too intense
to send someone down.

But we are working
on an ROV.

This extends
the range estimate.

Yeah, to land.

This message
is for Aleksander Cirko.

I am in the possession of some
very compelling evidence

that I feel certain he will be
interested in discussing.

Please call me
before 5:00 p.m.

or my next call will be
the Berrong Institute.

Let's see
if that gets a reaction.

What's a "final notice"?

Oh!

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

It's Aleksander Cirko.

Meet me at the
Sausalito waterfront
tomorrow at 9:00.

Is that the reaction?

Yeah.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

One-handing it again,
kiddo? Huh?

(LAUGHING)

What you doing?

Eels? Some biology paper?

Well, they have
these special cells

that all polarize
at the same time

and, well, the eel becomes
like a battery, which is...

Sounds pretty interesting.

Do you know of
any other animals

besides the electric eel
that shock?

Other than your mother, no.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(SIGHING)

I love you, Son.

I love you, too.

Well,

off drugs, out of prison,
that's all I ask.

Anybody pregnant?
Just kidding.

What about fireflies?
Fireflies?

Other electric animals.
They glow, right?

(CHUCKLING)

Good night.

Fireflies?

You know what, hon?

I learned a lot more
about cryptozoology

than I ever thought
I was gonna.

Amen.

Yeah, it could have been
a lot worse, though, you know?

How is that?

Well, I could have
been a prisoner
in the Aquatic City.

Oh, man. Those people
were crazy, weren't they?

Hey, you know
what I was thinking?

Maybe we should take the girls
to the Gulf this weekend.

You know...

It'd be good for them
to get out and have some fun.

I don't know if I'm ready
to go back in the water
just yet, baby.

Do you think we should
go see someone?

No. That won't help.

Don't be so hard-headed.

I am hard-headed.

Then help me understand.

I don't understand.

That's the problem.

Okay.

Come on, Cirko.

You tell me 9:00,
I get a sitter for 9:00,
I'm here at 9:00.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)

CIRKO: I was surprised
to hear from you.

Yeah, well, I guess I took
a chance and assumed

that underneath
all the hardware

you still might be
dedicated to open science.

Where would you get
an idea like that?

I have a dog-eared copy
of Sudden Evolution
on my bookshelf.

Here's a sample of the extinct
genetic material.

And yet here it is.

It suggests to me
that this animal is anything
but what, extinct.

The sea contains
many mysteries, Doctor.

An underwater volcano.

A big one, I think.

Enough to annihilate
all marine life
for 100 miles.

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

But that can't be
a coincidence.
I'm sure it isn't.

I wanted you to see this.

To see that there are
consequences here

beyond any
you may have imagined.

Consequences that make

the normal
method of collaborations
impossible.

Is that a threat?

I wish it weren't.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

Hey, Frodo.

What are you gonna do
about my jewelry box
you broke?

Nothing.

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

If you tell Mom about Nim,
it'll be war.

Don't threaten me.

The party, Greg, Valentine's?

Yeah. It's all on the table.

Why do you care about
that disgusting thing so much?

Why do you care about
your pom-pom squad?

Because it's meaningful,
because it represents
accomplishment.

Yeah? So will Nim.

Yeah? I'd like to see that
on an application to Duke.

Extracurriculars,
"Raised big lizard".
You're a lock, buddy.

Not everyone cares
about going to Duke.

Yeah, and what
do you care about, Miles?

Komodo dragons,
wizards, creatures
from another planet?

What do you have
against komodo dragons?
You are hopeless.

Why don't you
just file for unemployment now
and get a jump on it.

You know
what your problem is?

Please, enlighten me.

You don't have
a sense of wonder.

You get that
off a greeting card?

Well, at least
I still have some kid in me.

Yeah, I can see that.

You're heading
towards the playhouse!

(NIM GRUNTING)

Please, Doctor, listen to me.
A new vertebrate has emerged

and Cirko and his people
are denying access.

Alex Cirko?
Yeah, Alex Cirko.

Nobody's heard from him
in 15 years.

Well, now he's back
and he's confiscated
my research.

So, you had an encounter
with a species?

Yes, and it almost destroyed
a 50 ton submersible.

And where's the submersible?

I told you, the Mystic
is confiscated.

They probably took it down
to the San Juan de Fuca...
They confiscated it?

Wait, hang on a second.
Look, here's a sample.

Look, go ahead, look at it,
you prove me wrong.

You know, I want to help you.
I really do.

But it's just gonna be tough
in light of this whole
plagiarism thing.

You don't know?

Know what?

I got a phone call
this morning from Bessemet
in Hawaii.

And according to him,
three paragraphs
of your thesis

were lifted verbatim.

That's absurd.

He made it sound
pretty airtight.

Your degree's under review.

Plagiarism,
until it's resolved,
there's not much I can do.

This is all part of it.

Part of what?

Part of what?

Hon.

Hi.

You're gonna be late
on your first day back.

Oh, gosh.
Go, go.

So I don't like to fraternize
with plagiarists,
so I have to ask.

Yeah, I did it.
I lifted it all.

Hey, I understand.
I wrote my thesis

on caffeine pills
and white wine.
I get the temptation.

Come on, this is serious.
They framed me, Carolyn.

Okay, I know. Relax.

This is past due, you know.

Yeah, that's what happens
when you get a divorce
and lose your job.

So get a new one.

Who's gonna hire me?

It doesn't even matter
that I'm innocent.

Right now, I'm unemployable.
I have rent to pay...

Okay, okay. Let's just assume
that everything
you've told me is true.

That there's
an extinct sea monster
in the ocean.

The government
doesn't want people
to know about it,

and they're gonna do
what they have to,
to keep a lid on it.

And they don't fight fair.

So why should you?

Sometimes... If she doesn't
wanna do something,
she won't do it.

MAN: (ON TV) She's generally
not aggressive towards people,

but if they have a dog...

(DOGS HOWLING)

MAN 2: (ON TV)
She's a powerful breed.

You have to learn a technique
which allows the brain
to snap out of it.

Hey, there.
What are you watching?

A show about training dogs.

We don't have a dog, Miles.

Mom, I'm trying to watch here.

It doesn't mean
you have to
live like that forever.

Owners change.

The dog is not going to be
able to change on his own.

Whoever is around Emily
have to represent
authority figure.

That's the only way
we can correct the problem

when she makes a mistake.

Good to see you again, Rich.

Rich, I'm so sorry.
Hi.

MAN: Hey, Rich.

Welcome back.

I'm so sorry
about your brother.

Sorry, Rich.

WOMAN: If there's anything
I can do.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

MAN 2: Miss Wilson,
you're still there?

MAN 3: Hi. I'm sorry
to put you on hold.

(NIM SNORTING)

Dude, he's gonna spark,
knock you out
and eat your face.

Not if I don't challenge him.
He thinks we're his pack

and there's a pecking order.

If he thinks
he's higher than me,
then he'll challenge me

with aggressive behavior.

Oh.

(NIM WHINING)

(MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO)

Savannah, do you know
where Miles hid my tools?

I think I saw him
out by the playhouse.

With tools
come responsibility.

Miles,
how many times have we
been through this, huh?

He's a proud breed.

You just have to teach him
who's the master.

Yeah.

(NIM SCREECHING)

(DISTORTED VOICE
CHATTERING ON TV)

(NIM SCREECHING)

Whoa.

Miles.

Hi, Phil.
Hey.

There it is.

(STUTTERING)
There what is, Dad?

My toolbox.

When we borrow things,
we put them back.

Sorry, Pop.

I want to see my tools
back in their proper location
from now on, okay?

No problem.

(SIGHING)

(PHONE RINGING)
MAN: Yes, ma'am.

We'd be more than happy
to take care of that for you.

Mmm-hmm. Your policy
is definitely strong right now

and the deductible
is very high, so that's good.

Yes, ma'am,
I can look at it right now.
Give me just a second, okay?

Okay.

GEORGE: Hey, Rich.

Rich.

MAN: Rich!

(PHONE RINGING)

You're spilling, man.

(SIGHING)

RICH: Huge.

Where did you see it?

What are you doing up?

MILES: Nothing.

(SIGHING)

How did you respond
to Daughtery?

She's been contained.

Your specialty.

I have some experience
with whistle blowers.

Talk would only make her
more determined.

So you ruin her career.

She has a son, you know?

Let's get to the debrief.

This footage
was shot last night

inside the sinkhole in Texas.

A Navy robot
was outfitted

to withstand heat
up to 800 degrees.

How far did it get?

Forty-three,
44 miles

all the way to the magma.

That's when the ROV melted.

But not before
it sent back this.

Why don't they
burn up in the heat?

Perhaps its home.

You mean that
this is their habitat?

Maybe the species
isn't a sudden
evolutionary mutation.

Maybe they've been
down there, in the earth,
the whole time.

CIRKO: The secretion's ability
to recuperate is remarkable.

In addition to facilitating
Dr. Singh's recovery,

we've documented it

restoring diseased cells

at a nuclear level.

No matter how
we regulated the temperature,
we were losing the sample.

Yeah. This image
has been slowed down

so you can see
the deterioration.

Millions of cells
per second.

It would have been
gone by dawn.

We had no choice
but to freeze it.

Imagine
the possibilities, Davis.

A new era of medicine,

maybe the end of disease.

(SCOFFING)

You know your problem, Doctor?

You're an optimist.

Hi. I'm looking
for a Wayne Johnson.

You got him.
Hi, I'm
Dr. Laura Daughtery.

Hi. Affiliation?
Monterey Oceanographic.

Look, I was interested
in getting a recording

from one of your hydrophones
a week or so back.
Yeah, what for?

I was on a dive
the other weekend
sponsored by the Institute

and we came across an animal
that, quite frankly,
I couldn't identify.

(SIGHING)

Well, I got
over 500 hydrophones

from Reykjavik all the way
to the Cape of Good Hope.

Without
specific coordinates...

46, 15 North, 129, 53 West.

That's near
the San Juan de Fuca.
Yes, sir. Yes, it is.

What day?
September 19th.

September 19th?

Two guys
came in here yesterday

looking for
the exact same thing.

You should be dead.

Extensive facial contusions,

massive blood loss
and look at you.

I'm a miracle.

There are no miracles
in science.

Somehow
this species produces

a collagen-binding
membrane like obratzin.

This allows them to survive
in such a hostile environment.

Alex?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Nothing.

LAURA: Who are the...
Who are these guys?

Both of them are civilians,

but they had
DOD credentials

and a subpoena
to confiscate the material.

So they seized
the sound file?

From the mike
you're talking about, yeah.

So what's the range
on these mikes?

500 miles, give or take.

So, could I pull
the sound file from
the next mike up the chain,

say, like that one?

Do you know how loud
an animal would have to be
in order to be audible

underwater
from 100 miles away?

You haven't heard
the animal I'm looking for.

(WATER RUNNING)

(JESSE CHATTERING)

It's like a needle
in a haystack.

You're eating my head!

Did you hear it?
No.

What's it matter, anyways?

A wild recording means

Mommy could get a grant
or a job or...

JESSE: Pay the power bill?

Today's gonna be a good day.

No hearing voices,

just a regular day
for us regular folks.

Yep, just a day in the life.

Okay.
Go make yourself useful.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(DOOR BELL TINKLES)

Looks like
we're in for one, huh?

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi. I heard you were hiring?

WILLIS: You have some
restaurant experience?

It's how I paid my way
through graduate school.

Yes, I see, Dr. Daughtery.
You certainly are qualified.

It's $4.25 an hour
plus tips.

When do I start?

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(SIGHING)

(CASH REGISTER PRINTING)

(BELL TINKLING)

(THUNDER CLAPPING)

GEORGE: Rich.

Rich.

Rich.

SYLVIA: All right, Miles,
it's your turn to say grace.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Heavenly Father,
please bless this food

to the nourishment
of our bodies. Amen.

I think it would be nice
if you said

something meaningful
during the blessing.

Dear God, thank you for
giving me the opportunities
that you have.

Thank you
for my loved one.

Ones.

I'm trying not to get
frustrated even though

I know most kids would have
given up by now.

I know that through
consistency and repetition,

through positive reinforcement
and not rewarding bad behavior

that you'll take
care of everything.

Because deep down
I know that
there's something good

in everybody
and it just has to be
given a chance.

Amen.

Amen.
SYLVIA: Amen.

Thank you, Miles.

Okay, that was creepy.

Savannah.
What?

Hey, I applaud the effort.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

Miles! Miles!

(DOG BARKING)

Miles!

Jeez!

SAVANNAH: Oh, my God,
the playhouse.

Everyone get back inside.
Just get back inside!

RON: Miles!
SAVANNAH: Get away!

Miles, come here. Miles.

RON: Miles, we've gotta
get back inside, buddy.

Miles, come on.

Let's get inside
before we get struck.
Come on! Come on!

Miles!

Get back inside! Come on!

Oh, Rich.

Rich, honey?

Honey? What happened?

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Something

wonderful.

What? Rich?

Honey, look at me.
Look at me.

My brother, George,

he's still alive
and he's talking to me.

Hey, you went for the heat.

It's okay.

(NIM PURRING)

It's okay, little buddy.

Did you do it?

Did you make the lightning
flatten Savannah's playhouse?

Did you?

Good boy.

(SIGHING)

Twelve hours, $68.

(WATER RUNNING)

So much for my thesis.

(SPEAKER JARRING)

(LOW GROWLING)

Wrong bandwidth.

I have you
on the wrong bandwidth.

(LOW GROWLING)

Cirko, it's Laura Daughtery.

I need you to listen to this.

Okay, hear this.

(GROWLING)

Do you hear that sound?

That is the species.
I have it on tape.

LEE: You shouldn't be calling.

Who is this?

I believe Dr. Cirko
gave you some advice

about pursuing this,
Dr. Daughtery.

Is that what you call it?
"Advice"?

Is that what you call
framing someone
for plagiarism,

taking their career
away from them?

When are you guys gonna
realize that I am in it?

I'm not going anywhere.
I have proof!

I have evidence of
a new life form, on tape.
I have proof!

(DIAL TONE)

(CREATURE GRUNTING)

Imagine a perfectly
evolved animal, Mr. Lee.

One that has ability
to heal itself
instantaneously.

And you've
replicated the results
under controlled conditions?

Wasn't this proof enough?
Nothing, not a scratch.

Such a species
might well be invincible.

Impervious to physical harm.

Quite fascinating.

LEE: I'm not sure
I share your enthusiasm.

Wadham's report came in.

A complete thermogram
of the entire
San Juan de Fuca plate.

"Significant thermohaline
deterioration
across the northern Pacific."

The ocean's heating up.

Yes. They dig,
they release heat.

The question, Mr. Lee,
is how much?

Old Faithful erupts
more frequently than any
of the other big geysers,

although it's not
the largest

or the most regular geyser
in the park.

(RUMBLING)
The average interval
between eruptions

is 91 minutes.

Each eruption will expel
between 3,700
and 8,400 gallons

of boiling water
and reach heights
of 106 to 184 feet.

(RUMBLING)

Although, the interval
between eruptions
has lengthened

due to vandalism
and earthquakes.

Old Faithful is still
as predictable as it was
a century ago.

(ALL SCREAMING)
