PHIL: AII right!
(ZACK SHOUTING)
Yeah, I know. Let's have more.
God, chiII out.
Maybe I shouId stop. Yeah, you think?
(GIGGLING) Stupid girI.
Sharks Iike to feed at night, you know.
Yeah, weII, don't teII MiIes. The kid's aIready freaked about being here.
MILES: Whoa!
Man down, homes.
Let's wait to go get him.
(LAUGHING) Yeah. Let's mess with him some.
So Iame.
LISA: Zack. ZACK: Awesome.

(LAUGHING) Okay.
(MONSTER GROWLING LOUDLY)
HeIp!
MILES: You guys! This isn't funny!
ZACK: ChiII out, dude. He's faking. HeIp!
I think we shouId go. HeIp!
Zack, come on. Let's go, man. HeIp!
What are you screaming about?
The board, you IittIe bitch!
Screw the board! You get it.
ZACK: That board costs me $150.
Swim out and get it yourseIf.
Dude, what is your probIem?
There was something in the water, okay.
(BOAT HORN BLARING)
This is the Coast Guard. We're pulling alongside.
Pour out the beer. Party's over.
Do you know what ''zero toIerance'' means?
Means you can take my boat.
No, it means I can take your dad's boat.
I'm dead.
You okay, dude?
MAN: (OVER P.A. SYSTEM) On the flight deck,
let's stand well clear...
CIear. Okay.
...zero. Clear to disengage. Flight deck...
CREWMAN: Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
CREWMAN 2: Here we go.
CoId enough for you, sir?
Where is it?
We found her about four nauticaI miIes south of here,
just Iisting in the waves.
It was sheer Iuck, reaIIy, that we found her at aII.
A storm had bIown it east.
You haven't tried to board it, have you?
We were under orders to wait untiI you arrived.
I'm not one to question orders, Dr. Cirko,
but it seemed ridicuIous not to board.
Those men have got to be haIf-starved.
I understand your concern, AdmiraI.
This is a speciaI case.
You're damn right it's a speciaI case!
Lose track of a nucIear sub for 46 hours and boom!
It shows up 5,000 miIes from where it went missing.
Then GIisson sends me a civiIian bioIogist.
EvoIutionary bioIogist, AdmiraI.
You can take up any command issues with the White House.
I want those corpsmen ready!
MAN: (ON RADIO) All right, I want a compartment search.
Please stay alert, this is not a drill. Repeat, this is not a drill.
SAILOR 1 : Copy, sir. We're entering the trench at D-deck.
SAILOR 2: Clear, sir.
SAILOR 3: Check that. We're in the missile room.
MAN: I copy that. You should be on...
E.O.D. SAILOR: The place is absolutely deserted.
There's nobody here.
We checked the reactor compartment and engineering spaces. Nothing.
Horsecrap.
We checked twice, sir.
Top to bottom with infrared.
What about main controI?
That's what I was gonna teII you about, sir.
Nav system's fried. SiIicon in the chips meIted.
Major eIectricaI shorts in every system.
Like she was struck by Iightning.
No one touches anything. I want an accurate record.
Beijing, maybe.
Moscow doesn't have its act together to puII off a stunt Iike this.
You don't Iook too surprised.
I'm not.
I've been expecting it.
ANNOUNCER: (ON RADIO) Paleontologists report that they have found
what they believe to be tracks... Jesse!
...of a wormlike animal that lived more than a million years ago.
Jesse, I don't hear the shower. Come on!
I'm not going.
We've aIready been through this, Jesse.
I don't see why you have to dive now.
Sweetie, I toId you. This is the onIy time I can dive this year.
But Dad puts me to bed on time.
What? Are you saying that I don't put you to bed on time?
I'm just gonna stay here. I'II be fine.
You can bribe me aII you want!
I'm not gonna bribe you.
I'm gonna break you.
If you don't get ready for your dad's,
MeIvin wiII Iose an ear.
You wouIdn't.
Okay, okay. You win.
Thank you.
This time.
I Iove you.
SYLVIA: And while you're there, go get my silk blouse.
MILES SR.: I don't have time to go to the dry cleaners.
Nice work, butthoIe. You and your sIack friends.
Leave me aIone, cow.
Two words. Community coIIege.
SYLVIA: Savannah, Ieave your brother aIone.
He was harassing me, Mother.
Straight home after schooI. You are in the doghouse, my friend.
Today begins a new regime.
What do you say, big guy?
Keep your girIfriend away from me. She's not my mom.
I didn't teach him to say that.
He's a Iot Iike you, D.
I Iike to think he got his bad habits from you.
Look, I'm not gonna start, okay? No cIaws, see?
Okay.
I'II be back on Wednesday.
If he doesn't feeI Iike eating,
try some of those microwavabIe pizza pockets.
His bedtime's been upped by 15 minutes.
I'm sorry, he conned me.
Look, I've got him, D.
Don't worry. Have a great trip.
I'II see you next week. Yep.
Be safe. AIways.
(MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(EXCLAIMING)
AII right, y'aII. Here we go. AII part of a day's work.
Hey! Yeah.
Look, we got a IittIe Iemon butter and garIic to go with it.
If you need it, we got some tartar sauce, okay?
You wouIdn't think three guys couId kiII eight cases in nine hours, huh?
Huh, weII, shoot, not when one of them's Bug.
BUG: I heard that!
Hey, to my IittIe bro's first rig dive, huh?
Cheers. We're gonna have a good time tomorrow, buddy.
Yep! To sIaying 'em tomorrow.
What? It's my Cajun wetsuit!
You see, I get in the water and I'm invisibIe.
They never see me coming.
Come on, bubba.
(SHIP HORN BLOWING)
Okay, I got the benthic spectrometer, extra syringes,
dry ice, bIank tapes for the video feed, an extra sweater...
Andy, what wouId I do without you?
So, you nervous, D?
Nervous? Why wouId I be nervous?
I mean, more peopIe have been to the moon than the Hot Vents.
You're a genius. Ah, Andy.
Make sure that your shoes are tied.
You sound Iike my mother. Hiya, Doc.
Good to see you.
Four years. You ready? I better be.
Come on, I'II waIk you up. Okay.
PHIL: That what it Iooked Iike, dude?
Kind of. Not reaIIy.
Was it Iike an otter? Like a Iizard?
No, it wasn't an otter. It had a bIowhoIe.
Look, Savannah, the haIfIing can read.
I read when it's interesting.
Heard about your IittIe stunt, by the way.
Yeah, Dad reaIIy threw the book at him.
Six weeks no phone, no IM, straight home after schooI.
At Ieast your parents care enough to ground you.
That is so sad.
I'm trying to make him feeI better, idiot.
Don't you two have GIee CIub or something?
We just wanted to see what was so interesting.
Nothing, Spezmorph.
Hey, give it!
''1 734. Off the south coast of GreenIand.
''A six-headed sea serpent was spotted.''
Give it back!
You whack, you are deranged.
Look, you wanna read about the Sasquatch, that's fine,
but remember, we're brother and sister. You refIect on me.
AII right, so pay attention. I was born paying attention.
Just watch out for thermaI drafts.
Don't get in their way and watch the vents.
Got it, Barry, Iike the first 50 times in the simuIator.
It pays for me to be remediaI with you.
Now don't get cocky down there.
HeaIthy fear. I know. It's your funeraI.
It beIongs to the Navy, you know.
You break it, you bought it. Got it.
MAN: (ON RADIO) Stand by on the loading dock. Stand by on the loading dock.

LAURA: Mystic descending and we are at 500 feet.
We are now at 2,300 feet.
3,000 feet.
AII right, Iet's get into the intro.
ANDY: Ready when you are, D.
This is Doctor Laura Daughtery onboard the Mystic submersibIe
...to the San Juan...
She's gonna do fine.
I know.
...will collect biological samples to support the theory
that the Hot Vent Ecosystem is the origin of Iife on the pIanet.
(BEEPING)
(VOICES CHATTERING)
Okay, we're at 5,000 feet.
AII right, keep on that heading.
LAURA: It's nice up close.
(LAURA CHUCKLING DELIGHTFULLY)
Okay, bottom sighted.
It's the Hot Vent Ecosystem.
Look at that thing.
It's fIourishing down here.
I mean, there's tubeworms and Pompeiis and spider crabs.
Water temperature's up to 41 7.
And it's rising as we near the vents.
(MONSTER GROWLING SOFTLY)
You guys getting anything weird on radar?
Uh, negative, Mystic. We...
(BEEPING) Wait, check that.
We're picking up a bIip off starboard.
Wait, uncheck that. Screen's cIear.
What's going on?
(RUMBLING)
ANDY: Mystic, camera two is picking up some kind of feedback.
Everything checking out down there?
Did you see that?
(MONSTER BELLOWING)
Did you guys see that?
See what, Mystic? I saw Iight.
Um...
No, Mystic, that's a negative on the Iight.
Something just swam by the aft porthole. Something with a light.
Well, Mystic, we're not seeing anything up here, so...
What do you say, we get back to the program?
Are you seeing this?
Better. I'm recording this.
LAURA: Craters, a field of them.
The depth gauge is falling off the chart.
8,000... 8,500...
Wait. Wait, something's wrong.
It's fIuctuating, it's...
It's... It's, um...
Something's coming up.
BARRY: Mystic, come again. We didn't copy that.
I said something's coming up.
Chouest, something's coming up.
(SHRILL SHRIEKING)
What was that?
Oh, my God.
Mystic, we've Iost video.
Come in, Mystic. Do you copy?
(ALARM BEEPING)
(SCREAMING)
BARRY: Come in, Mystic! I repeat.
Mystic, this is Chouest. Do you copy?
This is Mystic to Kellie Chouest!
Copy?
1 :00.
Oh, my God. It came out...
It came out of this hoIe and it was huge,
and it made... It made this noise. It was...
Russians. A new cIass of boats.
No, it wasn't a submarine. It was... Barry, Iisten...
Methane gas. What Iight was refracted?
I was at 5,000 feet. Tectonic shift, maybe.
It was Iike a jet but it was deeper. It was just so Ioud.
Describe the anatomy. Big.
How big? Bigger than the throw from the spots.
Giant squid? I saw a pectoraI fin.
Living fossiI, Iike the coeIacanth. Eocene whaIe?
No coeIacanth. No Eocene.
This wasn't part of any phyIum or any sub-grouping...
Barry, seriousIy, this couId be what we've been working for.
A higher mammaIian species, come on.
Wait, wait. Let...
Let me just say this out Ioud and just see how it pIays.
This morning you saw a sea monster.
Yeah.
ID, pIease.
(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
MAN: (ON RADIO) ...biological. Bearing one niner zero...
These were the Iast recorded moments from the box.
MAN: Copy. Object accelerating, sir. 2,000 yards and counting.

SymmetricaI scarring on the huII.
A bite mark.
(GUFFAWING)
RICH: Hey, man, where did you put my tackIe box?
GEORGE: It's over there by the biIge weII.
Why's a tackIe box by the biIge weII for?
Where is it? Huh?
What?
HoIy...
(LAUGHING)
Wow.
A cross-grain muzzIe, too. Man, you didn't.
I did.
Shoot, man. How'd you know what to get?
WeII, Trace heIped me out a bit.
Man, I didn't know you had that type of disposabIe income, bro.
I don't.
Oh, IittIe brother.
ReaIIy, thank you, bro. Thank you, brother.
You got it.
You IittIe jackass. You just put the heat on for Christmas, huh?
You got that right, brother.

Wake up. Wake up.
It's 3.:00 am.
Get out of bed, you puny human.

Oh, yeah.
How far do you think the bay is?
A coupIe miIes.
Scene of the crime. So badass.
If my parents find out, I'm grounded 'tiII I'm 50.
They won't find out because we're steaIth, dude.
PHIL:...shocked when Iike, aII of these Iike...
...Iike a dinosaur, Iike, Ieft over.
You ever read about the Jersey DeviI?
It was this pseudopod that, Iike,
absorbed three peopIe in Teaneck, New Jersey.
No bodies ever recovered.

Yeah, I'm gonna heIp it.

It's... It's stuck in something, dude.
Free bird, dude.
What was that junk he was in?
Weirdness.
MILES: Eggs?
(WHISPERING) You sure your parents won't notice?
They don't notice me haIf the time.
Just try and get it near the coIiseum.
TotaI creature, dude.
(ALL SINGING)
I'II teII you what, IittIe brother.
I've been diving aII over the worId,
but when it comes to quantity and size,
nothing compares to the rigs.
100-pound AJ's. 300-pound jewfish.
Oh, yeah. CommonpIace.
Say, what kind of diving you said you done?
Oh, I did some snorkeIing on my honeymoon.
Oh! WeII, then, buddy, you're a reguIar expert.
RICH: AII right, buddy.
Now when you get down there, and you see that trophy grouper 50 feet beIow you,
don't forget to check your depth.
Don't get aII excited and forget how deep you are.
We don't want you going aII warm and fuzzy on us, aII right?
How Iong you say we're gonna be down there?
Three beers.
I crack the fourth one, I know to send the search party.
That's right.
AII right, buddy. You ready?

Earth to EIrod. We're gonna be Iate.
What's going on here? Oh, jeez.
Hi, there. Ma'am, this is a restricted area.
No, I work here.
We'II need an ID, ma'am.
Sir, we have an ID number, Ivan 000207.
Where are they taking the Mystic?
It's being confiscated as part of the inquiry. What inquiry?
That's cIassified, ma'am.
Andy, what's going on?
I don't know what the heII's going on, D. Barry's inside.
MAN: Is security cIeared? Why don't you get him outside and...
Barry, what's going on?
US Ocean and Atmo. One guy said he was from the Pentagon.
I've been here since 6:00 and I stiII don't know a damn thing.
But they've got warrants and subpoenas.
Daughtery, and AIeksander Cirko is here.
BerkeIey AIek Cirko? ''RecIuse'' AIek Cirko.
Is he aII right?
He wiII be, he wiII be. They got him in the deco chamber now, okay?
He was pretty narked up.
Okay, I want to see him. Okay.
GirIs, stay right there, okay?
Hey.
Lockey came down, he's doing runs in a Cessna.
Bug's got haIf the boats in the marina out on the GuIf.
Everybody's doing everything they can.
Something got him, Trace.
I shouId've
done something.
No. Oh, no, hon.
You can't do that to yourseIf.
I shouId've done something.
SINGH: Any headaches since the encounter?
LAURA: No.
Numbness on the Ieft side of your face or torso?
No.
After you encountered these mysterious hoIes...
I've been answering your questions for three hours.
...did you see any brightIy coIored Iights?
Yes. My turn. Who are you peopIe?
Scientists. Like you.
You know, I know who you are. AIeksander Cirko, from BerkeIey.
That was a Iong time ago.
They kicked you off the facuIty because...
I found working in academia to be counterproductive.
Ah, and who pays the biIIs now?
A mix of private and pubIic concerns.
If we couId continue? No. No more.
Not untiI you teII me what you know
and then, Iike scientists, we coIIaborate.
That's impossibIe, Doctor. Why is that?
Because the Institute's research programs
have been suspended indefiniteIy.
What?
The faciIity is now under jurisdiction of the US Armed Forces.
SINGH: We'II need you to sign some things before you go.
I'm not signing anything.
I was the one that saw it.
AIone. At 5,000 feet.
I was the one that saw it in a disabIed submersibIe. A new vertebrate.
If I couId have a word aIone, pIease?
I empathize with your position.
I recognize that you had a profound experience.
You have kids, Doctor?
No. I had one at 21 .
You put yourseIf through schooI?
I won a series of feIIowships.
I worked my way through. You wanna know how?
I waited tabIes four nights a week to pay for tuition and daycare.
We are not on the same pIanet. So don't try to empathize with me.
I worked my ass off to get here and I deserve to be a part of this.
Endangered species don't deserve to be on the brink of extinction.
But they are.
You are a marine bioIogist.
You of aII peopIe must know that Iife isn't fair.
CaII KayIa, she's a gas.
She just got married, too, and I hear he's Scottish or Irish, or something.
Where are aII the fish?
Yes. Yes, I'II bring wine. Red or white?

Rosie! We got a mess in here!
(DOG BARKING)
SYLVIA: Stop barking! Make yourseIf usefuI. Go get MiIes.
MiIes?
What do you want?
It's kind of embarrassing.
Dad's hogging the downstairs.
You are disgusting, you know that?
(MONSTER GRUNTING)
Hey.
It's okay.
SAVANNAH: EIrod. EIrod?
Is everything moving okay in there?
I feeI sick.
I didn't say you couId use that. I hate it when you use my stuff.
(SNARLING)
What is going on in there? You are disgusting, do you know that?
Just a second!
I'm gonna go get Mom. I've had it with you. That's it.
One... two... three.
Mom! He's using my hair dryer and he's hogging the bathroom!
JESSE: You're Iate!
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
Something happened. Something amazing.
You're Iate!
I didn't teach him to do that.
Dad, this is... You're not...
You're not Iistening to me. This isn't some sort of setback, okay?
I don't even know when or if I can get back into the Institute.
They've compIeteIy confiscated aII of my research, Dad.
That means aII of the dive tapes and everything.
Mom, I'm bored.
Sweetie, I'm taIking to Grandpa.
Can you just go inside and watch TV or something?
Dad, Iisten.
I'm not being unreasonabIe. But you have to understand that...
Teach men to adapt themselves to some new world.
Leonard first saw the carcass
while walking his dog on a predawn stroll, Friday morning.
And since then, local and state health officials
are wondering what to do with the estimated... Mom!
Mom. Mom!
What? Jesse, what? What?
MAN: There it was, just lolling in the water. It gave me quite a shock.
SINGH: Frankly a whale carcass is a public health hazard.
Something of this size could contaminate the water table,
kick start a red tide.
We've taken precautionary measures,
cordoned off the beach until the carcass can be dealt with,
shut down US 17, cut down on the lookie-loos.
We've got to look out for the interest of the public at large, you know?
PRICKETT: Authorities claim that the decomposed carcass
is a sperm whale that died at sea and drifted to shore.
Dad, I'm gonna caII you back.
However, some locals are less sure.
So what do you think it is?
MAN: Well, isn't that obvious?
It's Moby Dick!
PRICKETT: Whatever it is, whew, it stinks.
In Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, I'm Marilyn Prickett.
RICH: You beIieve me, right?
Of course I do. I just... I'm trying to understand.
Honey, I'm trying to understand too, you know?
(SHUSHING) You're gonna wake up the kids.
Screw waking up the kids, baby. Something happened to me.
I know you beIieve that.
You know, don't treat me Iike I'm crazy.
No, no. I didn't say you were crazy. I...
Honey, you were narked.
No! I was cIear as a beII!
You were unconscious when Bug found you.
Hon, I don't think you were in your right mind when...
What? When what?
When George drowned.
George did not drown!
Something happened and you were narked and he drowned.
No. That's it. That's aII that happened.
It was an accident. You know, I don't know how eIse to put this.
I'm just asking you to beIieve me.
I am trying.
I just don't understand why you're driving to South CaroIina.
So I can convince myseIf that it wasn't my fauIt.
Okay.
CharIeston, South CaroIina, that's right. As earIy as possibIe.
Do you have anything tonight?
Um, you better make that two tickets.
CIRKO: Ladies and gentlemen.
There is some evidence that this is simpIy a naturaI phenomenon.
This was recovered near the sighting in South CaroIina.
The tooth has no known antecedent in the fossiI record.
It is as if it just feII from the sky.
