Original subtitles

- Dr. Prince, Dr. Prince, I think I found something!

- All right.

Let's have a look.

- Definitely metal of some kind.

- What do you got here?

Yes, definitely more rusted.

Looks like some kinda gear.

I think you have discovered part of the flywheel

of a 1970s French sports car.

Hey, this work takes time.

Hear that everybody?

Don't expect me to find the Rosetta Stone on day one.

Day two, maybe.

All right, let's take a lunch break, huh?

Archie should be back in a minute with some pizzas.

- Pizza man is here.

- Hey!

- Right.

The big boss man was right behind me rolling up the hill.

- Oh, Christ.

What does he want?

- We don't know.

Nothing good.

- Mr. Collins,

to what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?

- Some of my colleagues on the board

are very concerned about your work.

Your initial permit was for exploration offshore,

and you continue to move inland.

- We've discovered patterns of erosion by the beach here

that suggest that this area was once under water,

or at least much closer to the ocean.

Last week during our underwater excavation,

we uncovered part of a structure.

- What type of structure?

- An old one, Mr. Collins,

built by a very old civilization,

dating back more than 10,000 years.

Now, I don't know about you,

but I would think that would be

of some value to your landowners.

- Well, certainly, if you are successful.

If you're wrong, you're just damaging our property

and potentially ruining tourist attractions.

- Look, Mr. Collins, I just need a few weeks.

If I don't find anything, we'll pack it up.

Meanwhile, though, just to put your mind at ease,

I'd be more than happy to make another donation

to that foundation of yours.

- Excellent.

I would appreciate that.

I wish you luck, Dr. Prince.

- Hey, I save you some, Boss Man.

- Thanks.

- What'd he want?

- What do you think?

- Bribe money.

- Yep.

- Welcome to the Caribbean.

- Hey man, we need to be headin' home soon.

- Just a bit longer.

This is right when they bite.

Somethin' big.

- Oh, that's pullin' hard.

- It's a net.

- What is that?

Come on.

Get over here.

Are you seeing this?

- This is better than a marlin.

Start the boat.

- Ferdy. - Hi, Eric.

What time is it there? It's almost midnight here.

- Oh , sorry. - No, no, no problem.

I was up workin' late anyway.

How's it goin'? - Good.

We're close, but we're getting shooken down

by the landowners again.

- How much you need?

- 10K should get 'em off my back.

- Well, I promised I'd match you dollar for dollar,

whatever you put up.

I'm a man of my word.

- Thanks.

All right, so I've mapped it out based

upon the columns that we found underwater, Ferdy.

It's a huge structure, a temple.

I expect they built a church on top of it,

just like the sites that we found in Turkey.

- Well, the writings you found in that stone underwater

matched the ones we found in Iraq.

They're similar to the ones we found

in Wisconsin and the caves in Iceland.

Now, according to Dr. Rice, it's not exact,

but it's close enough to make the point.

- Damn it, Ferdy, we are...

We are so close.

- Yeah, I know.

It's too bad Henry wasn't here to see this.

- Yeah.

- All right, well, I'll wire the money first thing

in the morning.

Now, take it easy out there.

I know island life can be rough

with all those beaches and pina coladas.

- Oh no, you're right.

It's got its perks.

Why don't you come on out and find out for yourself, bud?

- Well, find me something concrete.

I'll be on the next flight.

- You got it.

I will.

What the fuck?

Arch.

- Mornin', Boss Man.

You have a wild night with the scotch?

- No.

It was rum.

- 10:30, time to head to the dig site.

But first, Mr. Taylor want a word.

- Mr. Taylor?

What does he want?

- Some favor.

He's up at the restaurant waiting for you.

- Oh, all right.

Just tell him I'll be a minute.

I gotta brush my teeth, re-think my life, shit like that.

- Take your time, take your time.

Get it right.

- I have a situation and I'm afraid you might be

the only person on the island who could help.

- Yeah?

Be happy to help if I can.

What you got?

- Two days ago, a European woman come

to my shop wanting to sell some pieces.

I can appraise them based on the gems and the weight,

but I suspect it may be more historically significant

and have a much higher value. - Hm.

- Let's take a look.

- This is what she brought.

- Whoa!

- You know what they are?

- These are Spanish gold coins

from the 17th century and mint condition.

I would date this piece to right around the same time.

Look.

I've just never seen anything

from this era in this good of condition before.

This woman, did she discover

some buried treasure or find a shipwreck or something?

- I don't know.

She's rather mysterious.

- Mr. Taylor, you're gonna purchase

these items from this woman?

- I intend to.

- Okay...

No disrespect, Sir.

These pieces belong in a museum.

I mean, they're worth much, much more historically

than just simply their weight in gold,

historically speaking.

- Thank you.

- Do me a favor,

next time you see this mystery woman,

can you tell her that I'd like to meet with her?

I'll get her dinner.

I would really love to learn if she has any more pieces

and where perhaps she got them from.

- Of course.

You won't mind spending time with her.

She's quite easy on the eyes.

- Even if she were a monster,

I would still like a lunch or a dinner.

You make that happen for me, bud?

- I'll pass along your request.

- We definitely found something today, Doctor.

- Yeah?

- Mm hm. - Good.

What is it?

- Human remains in some sort of sarcophagus.

- Kurt, a sarcophagus?

All right, let's go see what it really is.

I'll be damned.

Uh...

Good work, team.

Who discovered this?

- I did.

- Excellent work.

What'd I say about day two, huh?

I just need to see when this guy is from.

- It looks like he was mummified.

- Yes.

Good eye.

Agreed.

Not exactly common practice

amongst 17th century English colonists.

What are you?

There ya have it. - What is that?

- It's an idol of an ancient pagan God.

We've seen these before in Asia, Europe, Middle East,

but never, never anywhere near this part of the world.

- Looks creepy. What God is it?

- That would be Dagon, an ancient Sea God

quite common in Sumerian mythology.

- Does this mean I get an A?

- Oh, you guys,

you're all headin' for the deans list after this.

Archie,

I need heavy machinery.

I need need bulldozers.

Are you writin' this down?

- Yeah.

- Skid-steer loaders.

I need excavators.

Everything. We need to dig.

We need to dig 50 feet in the ground

and we need to do it like, now.

We need the boats.

We need the submarines back. Now that we know that I'm right,

we have to get back in that water, Archie.

We've gotta get back in there. We have to keep exploring.

- It's not gonna be cheap.

- Archie, it doesn't matter the cost.

This, this is one of the biggest discoveries

in archeology since fucking King Tut's treasure.

You know that guy?

Oh!

- Wait, hold on.

What about the landlord?

- You let me deal with him. You...

I just want you focused on getting the manpower,

getting the gear, getting the pizzas, everything.

And get it to me like yesterday.

Oh, we could be famous!

You, you, Archie.

You're gonna be famous.

- I don't know what you mean, but I believe you.

- I'm gonna tell you Archie ,

whole scientific community, they've always laughed at me.

Those mainstream academia fucks were wrong, Archie.

And I, we, we were right.

And now, now I may finally have the proof.

- Wait, famous?

If I'm famous, does that mean I can get a raise?

- Archie, of course.

Don't you get it?

Whatever you want.

Whatever you want.

Just get me that gear, okay?

- I'm on it, Boss.

Famous.

Really?

- I took your items to a local expert

to determine their value.

He would like to meet you.

- What purpose?

- Just to discuss the items you brought to me.

He's a professor of archeology.

- At a local university?

- No, he's from the States.

His school is in Massachusetts, I believe.

- What business does he have on this island?

- He's doing a dig.

He claims to have found an ancient temple near the coast.

- Hm, how intriguing.

Where can I find this man?

- He's staying at the Pink Hotel in the Bay.

Dr. Eric Prince.

- That name,

it's familiar to me.

- He's rather notorious apparently.

Here we are.

Just sign here, here, and here,

and I can transfer the funds.

- Thank you.

- Wonderful.

- This painting is it for sale?

I'll say, I quite fancy it.

- For you?

Please, consider it a gift.

I'll have it packaged and delivered to you.

- Thank you.

- Yes, thanks.

- Hi, I'm here to meet someone, a Miss Bey.

- She's already arrived.

Right this way.

- Dr. Prince.

- Miss Bey.

- Please, call me Aurora, Doctor.

- Eric.

So, those pieces that you sold were,

I mean, extraordinary.

How did you come by them, if you don't mind me asking?

- Well, my father was a collector.

I'm afraid I don't have many sentimental feelings

about his old junk.

- Junk?

Wow!

17th century Spanish gold, wouldn't call that junk.

I was half expecting you to tell me

you had stumbled across a couple sunken ships

from the Spanish Armada.

- Sorry to disappoint, but it's not that exciting.

- Well, you've caused quite a stir on this little island.

- And why is that?

- Beautiful, mysterious,

wealthy woman shows up buying property, no backstory.

You know, people could start thinking

that you're some kinda criminal.

- And what do you think, Dr. Prince?

Do I look like a criminal to you?

- Well, I'm a terrible judge of character, so maybe.

- Hm.

Well, lots of people seem to think

that you are a criminal too.

- I see you've Googled me.

- Treasure hunter, grave robber.

- Yep.

I would say my personal favorite

is pseudo scientist grifter.

- Well, luckily for you,

I am an excellent judge of character

and I don't think you're a bad guy, Eric.

- Yeah?

- Thanks. - I didn't say you're a

good guy either.

- Well, maybe I'm just something in between.

- Exactly.

- Well, I hope you're not allergic to seafood.

- Definitely not.

- So I said to him, "Are you gonna fix the pipes or not?"

And he's like, "Well, I'm a gentleman plumber."

And I'm like, "What's a gentleman plumber?"

- No cracks? - Yeah.

- So, tell me more about your treasure seeking.

- Well, it's not a literal treasure.

It's much more.

I guess you can call it a treasure of knowledge.

- Go on.

- On this island,

we recently discovered a temple,

temple belonging to the ancient God Dagon.

That's a bit of mythology that was thought

to be limited to places in the Middle East.

- How can you be sure?

- We found compelling evidence.

I'm talkin' about manuscripts, artifacts.

I mean, just today we uncovered a crypt.

A really old one, inside we found this stone idol.

- It must be worth a lot.

- What it really, really means,

I mean, this could prove all of my theories.

It's a lot more valuable than just money.

- Well, I should think you're doing

a great service to mankind.

After all, you are reeling and sharing

the treasures and wisdom of the ancients.

- Yes, that's...

Exactly.

Thank you.

Are you sure that we've never met before?

- I don't believe so.

- It's just you look so familiar.

- Maybe I remind you of someone from your past.

- No, no.

I've definitely never met anyone like you before.

- This is Azri.

He's gonna be taking you out today.

- Hey, thanks for takin' us out, bud.

- No thanks needed, man, considering you

guys are payin' me.

- Kurt, how you doin', pal?

You ready for your first dive?

- Little nervous.

- Don't be.

Once we get down there,

it'll feel completely natural.

- All right. - Forward Zeki.

Okay, man, here we go.

- You know the spot?

- Hey, man, yeah, I know the spot.

- Get us as close as you can.

- Man, I can't go too close beyond those broken rocks.

They'll destroy my boat.

- Understood.

- Boat is set.

Are you good?

- Let's go.

- Sweetest? - Sweetness.

- Sweet wine.

- Especially when them big Japanese guy

out there shakin', boy?

- Oh, God.

- What the fuck was that?

- You good, Boss Man?

- Where's Kurt?

- Wait, so what happened?

- It sounds crazy to say but it...

It looked like a-

- A mermaid.

It was a mermaid.

- It was probably a dolphin.

- Dolphins don't have red fuckin' hair.

It wasn't a dolphin or a manatee.

Professor, you saw it?

- Whatever it was,

it was definitely something I've never seen before.

We have to take a look at what's on here immediately.

- All right, SD card did load up.

Let's take a look.

- There!

- Like I said, a fuckin' mermaid.

I know what I saw, guys.

- I gotta say, Boss Man,

that does look like a mermaid.

- Yeah, I know what it looks like, Archie.

Fuck.

I'm already on thin ice with the scientific

community as it is.

This is not gonna help.

- She saved our lives.

- Well, that is quite the story, Eric.

I'll say, I don't think I've ever been accused

of being a mermaid before.

- No, I'm not...

I'm not accusing you.

It's just there was a resemblance, there was a photo.

It was just a bit uncanny.

I thought I would ask if you were a fucking mermaid.

- Well, I'm just surprised that a man of science

would even entertain the existence of mermaids.

- Look, I don't believe in mermaids.

I don't believe in mermaids, of course.

I just, I saw something that I couldn't explain

and sort of knowing that there's

a lot of myths that are rooted in facts.

I sound fucking crazy right now, don't I?

I sound crazy.

- I suppose I should be flattered.

Mermaids are beautiful creatures,

at least according to the legends.

- Actually, according to legends, they also lead

unsuspecting men to their deaths.

- I was flattered, but maybe I should be insulted.

- No, no, I was kidding, okay?

I sound like a big, stupid-

- Eric, Eric, I'm teasing you.

I actually think it's quite charming.

Why don't you come to my place tonight?

I'll have the chef make us dinner.

- That sounds good.

So, you still want to hang out

with me after I called you a mermaid?

- Yes.

Very much.

- So if I were to splash you right now,

you wouldn't turn into a mermaid?

- Try, try!

- Come on, it's like a Tom Hanks movie.

- Hey, where you have been?

- Checking out this mermaid thing.

- All right, any luck with that?

- Nope.

- Well, we have much bigger problems here.

- What?

- Dr. Prince.

- Mr. Collins.

- Unfortunately, the board has decided

to terminate your permit.

- What?

Why?

Why? -To much risk

to the historical sites.

- So, Mr. Collins, you're telling me

that our generous donation

didn't do anything to change their minds?

- The risk outweighs the benefits.

Even financial ones.

- Please, Sir, just reconsider.

Go back to them.

If they need more money-

- I'm afraid the decision is final and well considered.

You have till the end of the day

to remove your equipment and people.

- You're a real piece of shit, you know that?

- We are done here.

- Fuck!

- I'm really not doing much to allay your suspicions, am I?

- You're, you're really not.

- Here, come with me.

I saw this view and fell in love

with the place immediately.

I knew I had to have it.

You know, I actually grew up near the coast.

My father worked on the water,

so the sea, well, it's in my blood.

- Sea's in your blood, huh?

- Mm hm.

- I gotta say you're really not helping my delusions.

- I'm sharing details of my past with you, Eric,

which is rare for me.

- Is that right? - Hm.

- Well, in that case, I am grateful.

I feel very special.

- You should.

Oh, I hope you're hungry.

And you like sushi?

- Yeah, oh yeah.

Yes, yes to both.

- Come with me.

- Oh, wow, what a nice spread you have here.

- I spared no expense.

- How did you find a sushi chef on this island?

- Ah, I had to teach him.

- So, you're a sushi chef too?

Any other details from your past that you care to share?

- I actually lived in Japan for awhile.

I love islands.

- So...

Whoa, 2001 La Montrachet Grand Cru.

Wow.

I've never seen one of these in person before,

let alone taste it.

- It seems you know your wine, Dr. Prince.

So you're cultured, too?

Tell me, Eric,

how does a man like you,

successful, handsome, intelligent, adventurous,

manage to remain single?

- You say that like it's an accomplishment.

- In a way it is.

Men like you tend to get snapped up early.

- Well, I was in one long relationship almost 10 years.

- What happened?

- Me.

Despite your assessment,

I am pretty far from perfect.

I guess you could say

that I'm pretty difficult to deal with.

- A challenge.

Go on.

- I guess you could say I tend

to be pretty singular in focus.

For example, I'm sitting here trying

to enjoy myself and this $25,000 bottle of wine,

and honestly, my brain is going fucking crazy.

It's working on overdrive,

trying to figure out how to save my project.

- Why?

What happened?

- The landowners, they kicked us off today.

- Can't your university or the government help you?

- Unfortunately not.

- How much to purchase the land?

- Oh, no.

Oh, no, no.

I hope you don't think that me at bringing it up

was a way of asking you to help.

I...no.

But I do think what you're doing is of great importance.

- I mean, I'm not really sure what you could do.

I mean, I would welcome any assistance of course.

But look, I just don't want you to think

that's what I was going for.

I...

Fuck me.

What I'm trying to say is that I wouldn't want

to do anything to jeopardize our uh,

relationship.

- Believe me, our relationship is not in jeopardy.

I'm quite certain how I feel about you.

- You are?

- I was drawn to you the moment I laid eyes on you.

Fate brought us together.

And I for one, am not one to challenge fate.

- Neither am I.

- Good.

Then we understand each other.

- Hey, hey.

What about your chef?

Isn't someone back there?

- He's shy.

He won't be out.

It's just us.

Sebastian, get the car.

We're going into town.

- Yes, Your Highness.

- Flounder, is that you?

Who's there? Hello?

- Are you Mr. Collins?

- I am, what do you want?

- Just a word.

- It's late. Make an appointment

with my secretary in the morning.

- I'm afraid this cannot wait.

- I can't see you now.

- Sit down, Mr. Collins.

You're going to help me.

- Yes, I'm going to help you.

- Much better.

We are going to become fast friends you and I.

- Ferdy.

Good to see you, bud.

Wow, that's a nice outfit.

- I thought I'd dress the part.

You look good.

Happy. - Yeah?

- Yeah. - Thanks.

I'll tell you why later.

- I love a good story.

You sort out your issues?

- Remarkably, yeah.

You're not gonna believe this. They called this morning saying

that they had a sudden change of heart.

- That's good.

There's no way I can come up

with the cash to buy that spot.

- Looks like we won't need to.

All right, so we'll get you checked into the hotel

and then straight to the dig site.

Can't wait to show you, man.

- Oh, this is Archie.

He's my right hand man.

- Nice to meet you. - You too.

Welcome to the island. - Thank you.

- So we had a little shark encounter diving

so we're sticking to the land dig for now.

- Dr. Ashley, welcome. - Thank you.

Sounds like you guys are doing really great work here.

- You guys are gonna wanna see this.

- It's definitely 17th century.

It's a cornerstone for the church that used to stand here.

It's not just a date marker.

- No, there's much more here.

Reads almost like- - Warning.

- Is that what I think-

- Yes, that's the Seal of the Templars.

- Templars? Here?

- Yeah, they travel all over.

Makes sense they would land here

like other European explorers.

It's the gateway to the new world.

- Doctor, you wanna do the honors?

- Have a look around.

This is an incantation.

It's a protection against evil spirits.

It says they buried the evil they found here

and consecrated the ground for a church.

The only way to stop the ancient evil they discovered.

- Hello.

- Aurora?

Hey. What are you a...

What are you doin' here?

- Well, I just thought I'd check out my new property.

- Wait.

You bought this?

- Yes.

I was thinking when you're done I could build a hotel,

maybe a resort here.

This little pit you've dug

would make an excellent pool.

- I'm so overwhelmed.

I don't know how to thank you.

- Just finish your work.

No need to thank me.

It was a good investment.

- Oh, hey, Ferdy,

this is Aurora, our new benefactor.

And Aurora, this is the renowned Dr. Ferdinand Ashley

from the university.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Likewise.

Well, I'll let you boys play in your dirt.

I just wanted to drop by and say hello.

- I'm so overwhelmed.

Thank you.

- Dinner later? - Definitely.

- Call me. - I will.

- New friend?

Is that the story you mentioned earlier?

- What's that?

Oh , yeah, yeah. It is.

- Keep an eye on this one, Archie.

- What do you mean?

- Well, he has but one weakness and she just left.

Women and Dr. Prince don't do so well.

- Ferdy, will you just fuck off?

Don't do this.

- I've known you for over 20 years, buddy.

My assessment's based on hard data

and that woman looks particularly dangerous.

- That woman just saved this whole operation, so...

- All the more troublesome.

You see, Archie, our mutual friend

is a bit of a romantic.

When a woman's involved, he gets lost and lacks focus.

- Oh.

So, he's a real jealous.

- Oh, right. Okay.

That's enough everybody.

I'm sorry, are we done talkin' about my personal life?

Is it okay if we get back to work, Doctor?

Yeah, thanks.

All right. So now we know where

the 17th century structures end.

So allegedly, anything we find beneath there

should be a part of the ancient temple.

- An ancient temple of evil.

- Look, Kurt, the Templars probably found evidence

of this cult in the Middle East

and of course they would've deemed it evil

and in need of an exorcism like they did everything else.

Archie, let's get this stone moved

as fast as possible and let's keep digging.

- I on it, Boss.

- So, we just ignore the warning?

- Yeah, Kurt.

Sorry, I don't trust the judgment

of a bunch of superstitious knights gallivanting

around the world claiming to do magic, okay?

We have to uncover the rest.

We press on.

- Boss Man,

we might want to pack up.

- Huh? Oh Archie,

it's just a little rain, buddy.

Nothing these kids can't handle.

If it gets any heavier, we'll get some covering.

- Yeah, but if it floods, it could be dangerous.

- If it happens we'll stop.

- That's it!

- We got it.

We got it!

- It's literally the same as last time.

- No, the last one was a warning not to break the seal.

- So what's this?

- The seal.

- Archie, crow bar.

- Seriously?

- Help me.

- One, two, three.

Down!

- We should wait to explore further.

With this rain the ground is unstable.

- Yeah, you're right.

All right, everybody.

Let's call it a day.

Son of a bitch, man.

We did it.

- Yes, you did.

But what you did exactly is yet to be seen.

- This could be it, Ferdy.

This.

This is too big for them to ignore this time.

I mean, this could be it.

This could be the one thing

that finally changes the narrative,

that rewrites the paradigm, that rewrites history.

- True.

- What's up?

I mean, you should be as excited as I am.

This is your life's work, man.

- I am.

I'm also a bit more cautious than you are.

- You're not um, getting superstitious on me, are you?

- No, I still don't believe in magic like

some of our faculty.

But I do know there are people out there that do,

and they take this stuff very seriously.

- So what?

A Dagon temple in this part of the world,

it's gonna ignite all the fanatics.

- I'm sorry, the fanatics.

What are you talkin' about?

- I dealt with this cult before.

I mean, you know, true believers.

I went with Armitage to a place called Innsmouth

and I dealt with a Dagon cult there.

- Ferdy, look around.

There's no cult here.

I mean, this is the first time

these people have heard anything about this.

- This woman that bought the land,

how well do you know her?

- I mean, honestly, not that well.

Of course, I've gotten to know her a bit in different ways,

but I don't know much about where she comes from,

if that's what you mean.

- This cult that we encountered,

they were full of rich people, powerful people.

You just need to be careful.

- Wait a second.

Are you telling me...

You're telling me that you think that this woman

is a part of some cult?

- Well, she did take care of your problem pretty quickly.

Or did you think that

was because of your charming personality?

- Actually, yes.

Yes, I do.

- Look, I know you had a rough go if it with Jessica.

You're breaking up,

but I just need you to be careful is all.

- Ferdy, just so I understand this correctly,

Are you trying to save me right now

from a relationship with a hot wealthy heiress?

- No, I'm trying to save you from you.

You let women run your life.

Now, I'm not saying that as an insult, just as a friend.

You go all in and while that can be kinda noble,

it can also lead to problems as it has in the past.

- Ferdy, I appreciate you lookin' out for me.

But I can assure you, this woman,

she's not some cultist.

She didn't know anything about the dig.

She didn't even know what we were looking for.

- So, some voluptuous redhead flops in off the street,

falls totally in love with you.

- Yeah!

And I mean, I wouldn't say that she's like,

you know, in love just yet,

but she's not a problem.

In fact, why am I sitting here listening

to your lectures when I'm supposed

to be at her house 20 minutes ago?

Shit.

- Go ahead, I'll amuse myself here.

Just promise me you'll watch your back.

- Why should I?

Apparently I got you doin' that for me.

- Funny. I'm serious.

- I promise, Ferdy, I will remain selfish

and emotionally unavailable.

- Attaboy.

That's what I wanted to hear.

" Mermaids and mermen were the high priests

of the Dagon cult.

They could gain the ability to walk on land

by consuming human blood.

A mermaid gains a human soul by sacrificing a human

in defiance of true love .

When Dagon returns,

the seas will boil and blood shall rain from the skies.

The return of the elder Gods will end the reign of man

and plunge the world into chaos and madness ."

- Howdy. - Good morning.

You look elated.

I trust your night went well?

- Yes, thank you.

- So, Archie told me about your diving experience.

- Wish he hadn't.

- I saw the photo.

- And?

- Well, I did a little research last night.

Dagon is a patriot of sea creatures.

- Don't worry, Ferd, I already asked her.

She's not a mermaid.

- You asked her?

- Yeah, we're close like that.

- And she didn't think you were totally nuts?

- No.

- Maybe she is the one.

- She is pretty awesome.

- But do you think she would answer you honestly?

- Ferd, are you seriously accusing

my new girlfriend of being a mermaid?

- Girlfriend?

You guys have labels now?

- No, I mean, well...

I mean, I don't know. Whatever.

I'm just sayin', we're in unchartered territory.

The existence of a temple in this part

of the world doesn't make sense.

I'm just being open-minded and careful.

- You were talking about mermaids, Ferd.

Mermaids.

That's not being cautious.

That's being ridiculous.

- I was pourin' over in my notes

an old text last night while you were doing whatever.

- Yeah?

What'd you find?

- Lots of bad stuff.

- Of course you did.

- According to Dagon legend mermaids and mermen-

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Sorry, I just wanted to make sure I heard you correctly.

Mermen?

- Oh, fuck off.

- Are you listening to yourself, man?

I mean, you sound crazy.

You sound like Henry.

I mean, I would've expected that out of him,

but never from you. Henry, he was a true

believer in this shit, but you,

you man, you're supposed to be rational.

You're supposed to be levelheaded like me.

- And I am.

It's just a mixture of this situation

and knowing you so well.

- Just be careful.

- Yeah, I always am.

- No, you never are.

Which is my point.

- How we lookin', Arch?

- Down there flooded.

You pumped it out, but it not safe.

- Yeah, well, if this is actually connected

to the structure we found off shore,

I mean, we may never be able to pump it out.

- It too soon to tell.

- Yeah, all right, so we wait.

This the biggest pump we have on the island?

- Yes, Sir.

- Well?

- Looks like we're gonna have to wait.

- All right. I guess I'll take in some local culture.

Have a look around.

- Did you find what you were looking for, Doctor?

- How do you know who I am?

- I don't, I'm just trying to be helpful.

- You said doctor, how could you possibly know that?

- I mean you no harm.

- Who are you?

- He works for me.

- Is that right?

He gave me quite the start.

- Apologies.

It's just we saw you wandering around

and thought you might require some assistance.

- No, thank you, I'm fine.

Just killin' some time.

Takin' in the sights.

- You're Eric's friend.

We met at the dig.

- Yes.

I've heard a lot about you.

- All good I hope?

- Very.

My friend Eric seems quite fond of you.

- I don't think you approve of me, Doctor.

- It's hardly my place.

Eric's a grown man.

Make his own decisions and his own mistakes.

- Mistakes?

- Tell me, what is your interest in our work here?

- Well, I find it interesting,

and I wish to help him.

- Very well then, I've just never known

a friend to give such support.

Forgive my suspicions.

- Suspicions?

- Yes, I assumed Eric May have mentioned something to you?

- No, he hasn't.

- Oh, well, then, nothing important apparently.

- Wait.

I'm curious.

Why would you be suspicious of me?

- What we've uncovered here tends to bring out the crazies.

I've seen it firsthand.

It was a very large and violent cult

that still believes in these old Gods.

- And you thought that I might be a part of this cult?

- Yes, possibly.

But as I said before, apologies.

I'm sorry if I offended you. - Not at all.

It's just, I very much care for Eric,

and I would hate for anything to come between us.

- Well, he doesn't listen to me anyway,

so you don't have to worry about me.

And I have nothing against you, I assure you.

- Good.

Then I hope we could be friends.

- I look forward to getting to know you better.

- Likewise.

Good day, Doctor.

- Good day.

- Do you want me to follow him?

- Yes.

Keep an eye on him.

I don't trust him.

- Of course.

- I saw your friend in town today.

- Ferdy? - Hm.

- Hm.

- He doesn't trust me.

- What?

- Did he say that?

Oh my God.

He's such a-

- He didn't say that exactly, but I could just tell.

- You don't need to worry about Ferdy.

He's the stuffy Ivy League professor.

He lives in his books, not in the real world.

He likes to act

like he's my older brother or my dad.

I'll talk with him, okay?

- He was rambling on about cults

and dangerous people.

- Oh.

The thing about that is he...

Ferdy ran into this cult into New England a few years back

who worshiped the same God as the temple

that I think we found.

It stuck with him.

It must have been a really horrible experience for him.

- I would just hate for anything to come between us.

- Hey, hey.

You don't have to worry about him.

You don't have to worry about anybody.

I would never, ever let anything come between us.

I'm just, I'm so grateful that I found you.

I know how I feel.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I um, I think

I think I'm in love with you.

- I love you too, Eric.

- I haven't said that in so long.

It feels good.

- It does.

- Eric! Eric, wake up!

- Eric!

- Stop!

- Ferdy, right on time, buddy.

We're about to go in.

- No, don't.

We need to leave this site.

Leave this island immediately.

- Ferdy, what are you talkin' about?

- You know, you gotta walk away, Eric, trust me.

This place is buried for a reason.

- Just calm down.

What's gotten into you?

- I've seen things.

I've had visions.

I don't have visions.

When I dream, it's missing an exam back in college.

But since I've arrived here, I've seen things.

- All right, just take it easy.

You okay?

You don't sound like yourself.

- Danger, okay?

You're in danger.

We're all in danger.

We need to shut this thing down now.

- Just, hey everybody,

can you give us a minute, please?

Thanks.

Buddy, buddy.

Hey, look at me.

Are you okay? You sound crazy.

- This place, that girl, it isn't right.

- Yeah, about that.

I heard that you had a talk with her.

- Ask yourself why.

Why did she find me?

Why did she seek you out?

Why did she seek me out?

- She didn't seek me out, Ferdy.

I asked to meet with her.

All right?

You are talking crazy.

- I'm not, I'm not.

This temple was sealed off,

hidden from the world and lost, guarded by magic,

and you opened it.

You let it back out into the world

when it was meant to be hidden and forgotten.

- Magic, Ferdy?

Magic? I thought we were done with this.

I thought we were done with this

superstitious bullshit, man.

- I thought so too, but this place,

I'm convinced it's evil, okay?

She's not what she says she is.

- I don't get it, man.

Are you jealous or something?

Are you jealous of her?

Or are you jealous- - Come on, Eric.

- What? - God damn it!

Listen to me, please!

- No, you need to stop, Ferdy, you need to stop, okay?

You're losing it.

You're losing it, man.

Archie,

make sure my friend gets back to his hotel room okay.

He's a...

He's not feelin' right.

- You're makin' a mistake, Eric.

Makin' a huge mistake.

Before we go back to the hotel,

I need to show you something, Archie.

Won't take but a minute.

- This make no sense.

- Yes, it does.

She's not who she claims to be

or what she claims to be, and we have to stop her.

- How you gonna do that?

- I need your help.

We need weapons.

- This ain't America.

We don't get gun in the grocery.

We're responsible.

Only criminals have gun.

- Right.

What about spears, harpoons, fishing stuff?

- That we can do.

Come.

- Light.

- This look like it still work.

- Good, take it.

- We can't just kill a woman on a random hunch.

- I don't intend to. We're gonna confront her.

I just don't want to do it unarmed.

We have no how dangerous she is.

- Shouldn't we talk to Dr. Prince first?

- You saw me, I tried. He wouldn't listen to me.

That's why we're gonna have to force the discussion.

Do you know where we can find her?

- I think so.

- Good, let's go.

- You boys goin' fishin'?

- Yes.

Step aside unless you wanna be the first catch of the day.

I've dealt with your kind before it Innsmouth.

I have no problem running you through.

- I have my orders.

Come along peacefully.

Her Majesty would like a word with you.

- Still think I'm crazy?

- No, Sir.

- Last chance, freak.

- I did my best.

Have it your way.

- Kurt, what the hell are you doing?

- I'm saving you.

You've been gone for hours.

- What?

That's impossible.

I was gonna for like five minutes.

I don't have enough air for hours.

- Exactly why I came after you.

That's my third attempt to find you.

- Doesn't make any sense.

Kurt, did you see it?

- No, I only saw darkness.

- It's incredible.

I have to get back down.

- Oh, wait. It's dark.

We have no light.

We cannot find you if you go down.

- Yeah.

Oh yeah, you're right.

All right, tomorrow.

- Oh.

- Eric!

- Hey, whoa.

Hey.

How'd you get in here?

- It's your friends, they've gone crazy.

They were gathering weapons.

They wanted to kill me.

- What?

Who?

- Dr. Ashley and Archie.

- That's not...

What did they do?

- Nothing.

We stopped them before they had the chance.

- We?

Who's we?

Where's Ferdy?

- I can take you to him.

Come. - Wait.

I don't understand.

What's going on?

- Come with me, Eric.

I'll explain everything, I promise.

- "Freak."

Ironic that you're the one under the net isn't it, Doctor?

- How you doin'?

- Almost.

- It's not far now.

Just up ahead.

- Ferdy!

- Help us! - What the hell's

goin' on here?

- I wouldn't do that if I were you.

They're dangerous.

They'll kill me if given the chance.

- You bet your ass I would, sister.

- Eric, you saw the temple, didn't you?

I want to know everything.

Was it beautiful?

- Hey, how do you...

How do you know about that?

- I could feel it.

- Yeah, it is beautiful, like nothing I've ever seen.

- You freed it for us.

Thank you, my love.

We couldn't break the seal placed upon it centuries ago.

- So, it's true.

You, you're a...

You're- - Yes, yes.

- You knew it was true.

We're brought together for a reason, Eric.

To serve a greater purpose.

You feel it, don't you?

- I did.

- She's bewitched you, Eric. You're not thinkin' straight.

Fight back.

- I have done nothing of the sort.

- Eric, everything between us is real.

Our love is real.

- Don't listen to that vile creature.

- Stop!

Hey, look at me!

Don't hurt my friends.

Look at me.

You're not gonna hurt them.

You're not gonna hurt them.

Promise me.

Promise me you won't hurt my friends.

- All right.

You have my promise.

If you know of my kind, then I cannot break it.

- Tell me, why do the minutes

feel like hours when I was down there?

- You experienced time the way we do.

Centuries feel like months, hours like seconds.

That's the way it can be for you too.

We'll finally be together for eternity.

- Do you promise?

- You can trust me.

- So what happens next?

- We finish what you started.

We go to the temple and we summon The Old Ones.

They will return and take this world back,

and we will make it beautiful once more.

- Okay. - Yes?

- Step aside, Eric.

Let me kill this monster.

- I can't let you do that, Ferdy.

She's my destiny.

- Have you lost your mind?

She's gonna destroy the world.

You can do what you want with your own life.

Let her kill you. You can't make

that decision for the rest of us

- It looks like you're just gonna have

to kill me first, Ferdy.

- Please don't make me do this.

You know what she's talking about.

You know what the text says is gonna happen.

- Eric,

walk with me to the water.

I do love you.

That is not a lie.

- I know.

- But I must do this.

- No!

- Sorry, Boss Man.

- Ferdy,

I'm so sorry.

I didn't have a choice.

Ferdy,

you have to get to the dig site.

You have to seal the temple.

It's the only way.

- Eric, Eric?

Fuck!

To the dig site, hurry!

Forget about that. Come in and help us.

We need to move this back into place.

- Why are we moving it back?

- Stop asking questions. Just help us.

Come on everyone, say it.

- Again!

- Louder!

- What the fuck was that, Professor?

- I'm not sure, but I think we just saved the world.

- I should have gone into accounting.

- This dig site is officially over.

Nobody moves anything.

Tomorrow we bury it.

Some mysteries are better left uncovered.

- You've stopped nothing.

You've merely delayed the inevitable.

And we are patient,

and have much more time than you do.

Don't worry.

I pledged not to harm you.

- Well, I made no such promise

and I will find a way to rid the world of you.

- And I wish you luck, Doctor,

but I am just one of many.

- You killed my friend.

I can't let that stand.

It is you who is responsible for his death.

Not me.

- You're outta your mind, sister.

- Try me. Anything you do would be a pathetic act of futility.

Just know that right now in some corner of the world,

other humans like you and Eric, driven by curiosity,

science and fortune will uncover relics from the past

that will be the key to our return.

And there is nothing you can do about it, Doctor.

Your reign of greed and destruction will be over soon.

The balance will be restored.

The world will be as it was, millennia ago,

under their control and humanity

will be brought into submission once more.
