All language subtitles for Blue Demon [2004]_EN

Woman:
It started out as an experiment.

The first change
was in the eyes.

The iris separated
from the pupil

and it followed
movement

like a motion
detector.

I'd watch them
hours on end

and when they'd see me,
they'd stare back,

unblinking, unemotional.

Sometimes I swear
they were laughing at me.

We didn't mean for things
to go as far as they did,

but in a world that's
mostly covered with water

we needed a new
kind of defense.

Just another fish
in the sea.

But we made
a horrible mistake.

We meant to take the next
step in evolution,

but we created
a monster.

( crickets chirping )

( imitating crickets )

- ( chuckles )
- How do you make that sound?

It's a family
secret.

But I can tell you
it's one of the reasons

Mom's had so many
rich husbands.

- ( all laugh )
- Change your mind yet?

It's not too late.
We can forget about the whole thing.

- Yeah, sure.
- There are plenty of other pledges

who would die
to be in your place.

( buoy ringing )

Let's go.

( all snickering )

Thank heavens
for Home Depot.

( all laugh )

- What about the power?
- It's usually off.

- ( screams )
- ( all scream )

( laughs )

( all laughing )

More government BS.

Very professional.

Crime runs in the family.
Daddy's a lawyer.

( girls chuckle )

( foghorn blows )

You know
the drill:

Swim out to
the buoy and back.

Couldn't be
any easier.

The sign said
the water's polluted.

Am I gonna get
sick or something?

We all had to do it.

Do we look sick?

Do you want to be
a Delta Delta Chi or don't you?

Ready?

I guess so.

That's the Delta
Delta spirit!

( girls giggle )

( bell rings )

You're such a liar.
We didn't have to do this.

What if something
happens to her?

What does it matter?
You want her in the sorority?

( chuckles )

( girls giggle )

( snorts )

There's something
out here!

There's something out here
in the water!

Nice try!

I'm not kidding!
I felt--

What's she doing?

Screw it, let's
get out of here.

( police siren wails )

Oh God.

This is the Military
Police.

You are trespassing
on federal property.

- Stay where you are.
- If I get caught my dad's gonna have a shit fit.

- What are we supposed to do?
- Take the back way out.

We can't just leave.
What about my dad's car?

Good evening.

- ( screams )
- Mel!

Mel!

Mel?

- Mel?
- ( gasps )

Oh God!
Help!

( screams )

Mel?

( gasps )

Grab my hand!

( shrieks )

Grab it!
Grab it!

I've got you!

( screams )

Way to go, Doc!

You just tied
the world record of 12 ringers in a row,

held by none
other than...

your-rr
husban-nnd!

Ex-husband.

You're the boss.

Hot Pants wants
us in his office.

Yeah, your record's about
to go down in flames.

He sounded
serious.

( sighs )

As always, your
timing is sublime.

Correct me
if I'm wrong,

didn't they invent
something called an elevator

about 100
years ago?

1853,
to be exact.

Why would you
know that?

- It's what you
love about me. - Loved.

And it still doesn't
explain why we can't use it.

He thinks if we're out
of breath we won't argue with him so much.

Is that it?

Where do you get
that information?

( door buzzing )

Morning, Dr. Collins,
Dr. Collins.

You wanted
to see us?

I didn't have
breakfast.

- You know what this is?
- Our project.

No.

Not anymore.
Over.

- Over?
- You're kidding.

Do I look like I have
my kidding face on?

Is this about
the EKG test data? Because I told Dr. Collins--

It's about the fact
that I have three hysterical college girls

in the hospital right now.
No no, let me rephrase that.

I have three and a half
hysterical girls in there.

The divers are still
trying to locate the rest of the fourth one.

That doesn't make
any sense.

Even if the sharks could
breach the steel net--

Which they did.

There is no way into this
compound past the 6,000 volts

going through
the perimeter fence.

Is there?

There have been
budget shortfalls.

We had to make up
the difference somewhere.

My God, you turned off
the electric fence?

- Intermittently.
- You didn't, Larry.

How many times have
I told you, Dr. Collins, my name is Lawrence?

I wouldn't have to make
any cutbacks if you two

had brought me some
results that I could take to the oversight committee.

I'm sorry,
you don't consider genetically engineering

a new breed of Great White
sharks results?

Capable of living in either
fresh or salt water,

trained to recognize
specific targets to defend?

That was yesterday.
What have you done for me lately?

Okay, we have managed
to increase their speed.

Ah-na-na! I just want
to know one thing:

Are the subjects
responding to commands?

May I?

All right, Doc.
I'm on it.

Okay, there's
Avery now.

It's show time.

He's scared.
I guess that's a good thing.

( tires squeal )

Okay, here they come.

My God!

Carcharodon carcharias
can smell blood

in dilutions of one part
to 500 million parts of water.

Killer schnozzes.

They're bigger
than last time.

Groucho, Harpo,
Chico, Gummo, Zeppo.

"The Sharks Brothers."

And here's the baddest
boy in class...

Red Dog.

Okay, watch this.
Avery?

- ( electronic beeping )
- Marla: Now.

You got it, Doc.

That was you?

The monitoring implants
in each shark are also transceivers.

We issue the command
and the shark receives

a small electric jolt
to the brain

that essentially fools
it into forgetting about the meat.

Does it work the other
way around?

I mean, can the shark
be signaled to attack?

Well, they are predators.
I guess they could be trained--

The purpose
of the Blue Demon Project was to create

an undetectable
defense system, not another weapon.

Of course.
I'm just thinking out loud.

Comfortable?

So it doesn't work
on all of them?

It's 50-50
with Red Dog.

We don't know why.

Let me get
this straight.

You've spent four years

and millions of dollars
on this project

and all I have to show
for it are a couple of big sharks with pretty eyes?

90 days!
I have a show-and-tell with the big brass.

It's a funding review,
so that we can all keep our jobs!

I want concrete results,

something that will hold
water besides their lungs.

It's new science,
it's unstable.

We have to examine it,
understand it.

We can't possibly make
that deadline.

We're at least a year away
from controlling them.

Hmm.

I'm glad to see you two
agree on something.

That'll give you something
to talk about when you're in the unemployment line!

Get out!

( candies rattle )

That went well.

I have nothing
to say to you.

That would be a first.

Dr. Collins?

- What?
- What?

- Which one?
- Which one?

- Dr. Nathan Collins.
- Guilty.

This is for you.

- Sign here, please.
- Sure.

- Thanks.
- Thank you.

♪ I got a package... ♪

( phone ringing )

Yes, sir.

No problem.
Six weeks will be just fine.

- I'm looking forward to--
- ( line disconnects )

Inga!

Get me a box
of cigars!

You might have mentioned
that was coming today.

I told my lawyer not
to send these here.

I'll just have them sent
to your lawyer so she can take a look at them--

No need.

You seem a little
disappointed.

Did you expect me
to put up a bit more of a fight?

No, of course not.

Of course not.

And in return, I'm only
gonna ask for one thing.

And what's that?
Nathan?

I want the ring back.

( alarm beeping )

- It was my
grandmother's, remember? - Of course.

- She gave it to my mother.
- Absolutely.

And then on her deathbed
she gave it to me--

I know the story, Nathan.
Thank you.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Gummo,

Groucho,
Red Dog.

Listen up, boys.

Word of advice:
Don't get married.

You see something you like,
you swim up behind it

and then eat it.
Got it?

Maybe she doesn't really
want a divorce.

What?

Psychologically,
I mean.

Maybe somewhere deep
in her subconscious

she still has
feelings for you,

and it's causing
her body to rebel against her own actions.

That's why she can't
get the ring off.

Did I hear the story?

Oh, no, I haven't heard
the story 50 times!

Men.

Stupid grandmother's
aunt's uncle's neighbor's

I don't care whose ring--
Stupid--

- ( ring rolling )
- No! No! No! No!

( gasps )

Thank you, thank you,
thank you.

I never would have heard
the end of that.

Whoa!

She's still in love.

Yeah.

Oh shit!

Marla!

Holy shit!

- ( gun cocks )
- Shoot, God damn it! Shoot!

( gunshot )

( gun cocks )

Okay, I gotcha.

Come on, okay.

Okay, it's okay.

( crying )

How you doing there,
cowboy?

You're not looking
so good.

( laughs )

See, I told you boys,

you should never go
shot for shot with me.

Tequila
is my middle name.

Come on,
get this stuff out.

The sooner we get this done,
the sooner you two ladies can go take a nap.

Come on, we got
about a five-hour window here.

That fence is not
going to fix itself.

( indistinct murmuring )

Hey!

Mr. Secretary.
Mr. Secretary.

Mr. Secretary.

Felix,
Mr. Secretary.

Look at him.
You'd think he'd given birth to the damn fish.

We are so not
ready, Nathan.

( shoe squeaks )

Ah, General Remora,
what a pleasure it is to see you, sir!

Remora:
Nice pants!

Pretty impressive,
huh?

All this fruit salad
here just to see our little project.

Even the top
man himself.

Makes you proud to be
a scientist, doesn't it?

Is everything ready,
Avery?

As ready as
it can be, Doc.

You're not dealing with
a moron here, you know.

I would never
call you a moron.

Just so you guys know,
nothing escapes my attention.

Your fly's open.

Ladies and gentlemen,
if you'll be seated, we can begin.

Thank you all for coming
this morning for what is quite possibly

the most important
presentation you'll ever see.

Now, I'd like to present
General Remora,

who would like to say
a few words before we begin.

General.

What I'm about
to say to you...

must be kept...

in the utmost...

confidence.

That is why

I had to get a Level Five
security clearance

for each and every
one of you.

And that's why
we're meeting in this underwater...

secured
and protected bunker.

In 1997,

the Russian government
informed us...

that it
may have lost

at least 100

of their so-called
"suitcase bombs."

( whistles )

One kiloton...

portable nuclear bombs,

small enough
and light enough

to be carried
in a suitcase.

And very possibly
a backpack.

- What's your name?
- Dashlow.

- What?
- Dr. Avery Dashlow, sir.

Right.

For some time
we've been concerned

about the possibility
of terrorist threat.

And as of three days ago,
our intelligence

has informed us that
one of these bombs

had been purchased by
a splinter group

from an ex-Russian agent.

Nathan, I know this
isn't exactly the time to bring this up,

- but...
- Yes?

- Um...
- Ahem!

It can wait.

Further intelligence
has informed us

that this bomb will
more than likely

be arriving by water.

And its goal

very possibly being

a very important
landmark

on or near
this coast.

That is why
Project Blue Demon

is of the utmost importance
to our government.

And, as Mr. Van Allen
already knows,

as of yesterday,
the President of the United States of America

has personally
asked me...

to oversee
this project.

I'd like everyone to put
their hands in their lap.

Very good.

I will now turn everything
back over to Mr. Van Allen.

General.

Now,

this represents
the approximate square mileage

of accessible water
in and around the country.

You know I hate
when you do that.

Do what?

Tell me you have
something to tell me

and then telling me
to forget about it.

Lawrence:
So what is the answer?

More military?
More Coast Guard?

It would take three times
the current numbers

of enlisted men
and women

just to make a dent.

No, the human element
has done all that it can.

It's time now to take
the next step

toward complete
military preparedness.

I present
Project Blue Demon...

a squadron of genetically
engineered sharks,

smarter and stronger than
any other species on earth.

Trained and controlled

by our military
and strategic experts

to seek out and neutralize

terrorist threats wherever
they may be found.

Maybe I do it because
you never seem interested

in anything I have
to say anyway.

Maybe if you'd say things
that were interesting,

instead of dull scientific
facts all the time,

I would be.

A bomb
surreptitiously placed

by an innocuous
looking vessel--

the sort of thing that even
the most watchful security system might miss.

But Blue Demon
misses nothing.

Its natural
and genetically-heightened territorial instinct.

The shark locates the bomb
before it can detonate.

Now, if this sounds like
science fiction, it's not.

It's science fact.

- So are you gonna tell me?
- Not when you've predetermined your response.

Can you stop being
scientific for one moment

and start being
a human being?

Thanks.
Thanks a lot.

All right, I'll tell you,
but you have to promise that you won't be angry.

- I'm not--!
- Nathan!

I'm not angry.

Open the curtain.

( murmuring )

Blue Demon.

Okay.

I...
you know--

See, that's exactly
what I'm talking about.

Is this supposed to be
some kind of a joke?

Oh my God.

- ( tapping keyboard )
- ( computer beeps )

Where the hell
are my sharks?

- Somebody opened the gate.
- Don't even say it.

What happened to the, uh--

- Who let the guppies out?
- Apparently none of us.

I don't give a good
goddamn who let them out! I want them back in here now!

I got some very important
people in there waiting,

so I don't want
to hear the word rain check from any one of you.

I'll just send the command
out to Red Dog

and the others will follow
him back into the lake.

If he's still out there.

What are you talking
about, Dashlow?

Something's wrong.
I just sent out a return command

and I'm not getting
a delivery signal.

Did you try an
alternate channel?

I'm on full frequency--
nothing!

Let me try.

Anybody got the time?

Too damn late
for this bullshit! That's what time it is.

Hey, did you guys
hide my respirator?

You dogs, I know you hid
my respirator!

What are those?

We were scheduled
to keep the sharks inside all day today.

- And?
- Maintenance is in the water.

Normal replacement of section
of perimeter fence.

Nathan:
Maintenance, this is an emergency, do you copy?

Maintenance, this is
Dr. Nathan Collins. Do you read me?

Maintenance, this is
Dr. Nathan Collins.

You need to get out
of the water now!

Do you read me?
Over.

How much longer are we
gonna have to wait

for these trained
fish of yours?

Just a few more
moments, sir.

There's been a small
miscommunication

and they've been
moved out into an enclosed high-security lagoon.

Part of our facility.
But there's nothing to worry about.

Everything's
under control.

( crunch )

- Still not getting anything.
- Well try another transmitter.

I tried all of them.
I can't seem to get a response.

Dr. Collins, if you people
screw this thing up--

Nathan:
Marla, do you read me, over?

- I'm here, Nathan.
- Give me some good news.

I'm working on it!

Nathan, what are they
still doing in the water?

Nobody's answering
the radio.

We're on our way
out there now. Copy?

( beeping )

Oh my God.

Nathan, the sharks,

they're in hunt
formation.

Nathan:
Maintenance, this is an emergency, do you copy?

Yeah, it's always
an emergency.

Someone probably
plugged up the toilet again.

Maintenance, this is
an emergency, do you copy? This is an emergency!

Yeah, this is maintenance.
What's your emergency?

There are sharks in the lake!
Do you copy?

Ed, Jimmy!

Get out of the water!
There's sharks in the water!

Get out!

Ed, Jimmy, come on!
Get in the-- no!

Get out of the water!

Katie:
Jimmy! Ed!

( crying )
Oh, God!

( tires screech )

Oh my God!

They were just out there!

- It's over.
- No, it's not over.

This is just
the beginning.

( Katie sobbing )

Tell me you
got something.

Every hard drive
in the system's up to speed.

Not a crash,
not a buzz.

- Nothing.
- Could have told you that.

I know this lab inside and out
and there's nothing wrong with this equipment.

I've got six runaway sharks.
Who would beg to differ?

They're moving towards
populated areas.

I thought you had
this problem worked out.

Whoever let them out
sabotaged the system.

Then I guess it's time
for the backup plan.

You do have
a backup plan?

How 'bout a reboot?
Maybe we should just shut the whole thing down

- and start from scratch.
- Brilliant, Sparky.

- Worth a try.
- It'll take time.

- Then you'd better
get on it right now. - What are you gonna do?

What we should have
done in the first place. I'm calling the Coast Guard

to let them know
we got a predator problem on our hands.

I don't think so, Doctor.
Put that phone down.

General!
Thought you had left.

As I stated before,
we've decided

we're not going to do
the demonstration today.

They're not in
the lagoon, are they?

( coughs )

We've got the situation
under control.

- ( siren wails )
- Voice: T-minus 10, nine, eight--

( switches off )

Doesn't look like you
have anything under control.

They're headed toward beaches.
We have to warn people. Tell them.

Tell them what?

That a group of government
sanctioned

genetic experiments
has gotten loose?

No.

If they found out that
the military was behind this,

we'd be in a shitstorm
of apocalyptic proportions!

No, I think what
we have here is

just regular, everyday
run-of-the-mill sharks.

And the truth of the matter
is sharks kill people,

every day.

But not in
a freshwater lake.

Minor detail.

Are you actually
willing to risk life

just to keep the government's
involvement in this a secret?

That is indefensible
and bullshit!

You watch it, Doctor.

Innocent people
will be killed.

Every war has
their casualties.

I don't see any reason
the war on terrorism should be any different.

Screw that.

( door buzzes )

Get me the number
for the Coast Guard. Yeah.

Hey, what the hell
do you think you're doing?

Don't worry, Doctor,
you'll get to make your one phone call.

- What are you talking about?
- Dr. Nathan Collins,

- you're under arrest.
- On what charge?

Conspiracy to commit
a terrorist act against the United States of America.

General, I understand what
you're trying to do here,

but you have no
evidence of anything like that.

I have all the evidence
I need.

This is a log for all
the security pass codes for the shark pool.

And it has the number
of the last code used

- to open the gates.
- And whose number is that?

- Dr. Nathan Collins.
- ( snorts ) Please.

Which means are you
not only responsible

for letting those sharks
out into the lagoon,

but you are responsible
for the deaths

of those two unfortunate
maintenance workers.

He's doing this because
he doesn't want me telling anyone about the sharks.

I'm doing this because
I love my country.

Take him away.

Get me a lawyer!

This is not over!

No, like this.
You have to hook the worm through his body

like that so he doesn't
fall off the hook.

Here, now you try.

I don't want to.

Honey, the worm
doesn't feel anything. It doesn't hurt him.

Yeah, how would you like it
if I stuck a hook up your--

That's enough,
young lady.

Why do we have
to do this anyway?

Can't we just buy fish
at the store?

No, we can't just buy
fish at the store.

That's not a sport.
This is a sport.

Baseball's a sport.
Basketball's a sport.

This is murder!

Roxie, honey, you wanted
to spend some time with Daddy, didn't you?

- Yeah.
- And you wanted to go fishing with Daddy, too, didn't you?

- Yes.
- Now you got a 10-lb. test line here,

with an eight-lb.
leader.

Just set it over
the side right here.

There you go.

All right, now we'll just see
who catches the big one, huh?

Hey, what's up, doc?

Oh, I guess I'm just
a little blurry here.

Yeah, you gonna
go somewhere?

Just a little fresh air.
Be right back.

You want me
to go with you?

Avery, "fresh air"
is a euphemism.

I'm going to
the ladies' room.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

( reel spinning )

Dad, I think
I've got something!

Way to go!
Reel him in!

- Not too fast.
- It's really heavy.

It's probably a trout.
They get pretty big in these waters.

( reel spinning faster )

Dad! Dad!

Whoa, you got yourself
a whopper here, girl!

Let's try to get him in now.
Let's reel it in.

That's it, bring
it in here.

Yeah, it's
a big one!

Wowee!
Okay, here it comes.

Roxie:
Oh my God!

You got him!
Let's get him. Oh, yeah!

Okay, good job!

Oh, yeah!

Look what you
caught here!

Hold it,
I'll get a photo. Slimy!

- Let me get a photo.
Okay, hold it up. - It's wet!

Attagirl.
Hold it right there.

- ( gasps )
- What the hell?

- What's the matter, honey?
- It's a shark!

It's a bass,
silly.

Dad! Dad!

Shark!
Hurry, swim!

Come on! Come on!
Come on! Come on!

- Swim!
- Dad, grab this!

Swim, that's right!

Don't look back!
Swim! Come on!

You can make it.
Give me your hand.

Dad, keep swimming.
Please, hurry!

Sharks, that way!

There you go!

I got you.

Dad, I love you.

I love you, Dad.

Marla!
Thank God, finally!

Did you talk to the lawyer?
Is he coming down to get me out of here?

I'm afraid not,
Nathan.

What, are you kidding me?
They can't just hold me here

without formal charges,
without any evidence.

Well apparently
they can.

Just the suspicion
of you being a terrorist

is enough for them
to lock you up in here indefinitely.

Wait, this is nuts.

I brought you some food.

I feel like I'm stuck
in some play by Kafka.

Watch your language,
sir.

- What?
- Your language.

- I said Kafka.
- I heard what you said.

There's a lady present.

Appreciate it if
you'd keep it clean.

I'll take that, ma'am.

Oh, do you mind?

I would really like to eat
with Doctor Collins. Please?

- I'll have to check it.
- It's nothing special,

but it was all they had
in the cafeteria. ( chuckles )

- All right.
- ( pistol fires )

Christ, Marla, what
the hell are you doing?

Getting you out
of here.

I appreciate the thought,

but shouldn't we wait
to do this, I don't know, the legal way?

While I was rebooting
the system I ran through the program logs

and checked it against
my private backup file.

The reason the system
crashed was because it wasn't the real system.

It was some shadow program

- built of top of the original.
- ( keys jangle )

It was designed to hide
in the hard drives when we tried to fix it.

Are you telling me that
somebody tried to hack in from the outside?

Not that kind
of program, no.

This came from somebody who
had access to our entire system from the inside.

- Avery?
- Hardly, no.

Avery can barely pay his rent.
He would never put himself out of a job.

This came from
higher up.

I can't believe you
just tranked that guy.

I didn't know you
had it in you.

There's a lot of things
you didn't know about me, Nathan.

( gasps )
Sorry.

Dr. Collins,
I need an up-- where is she?

- Ladies' room.
- How long has she been gone?

- I don't know,
20 minutes, maybe. - 20 minutes?

Hey, chicks take forever
in the bathroom.

Idiot!

( woman screams )

( woman #2 screams )

( toilet flushes )

This is Lawrence Van Allen
to the holding cell. Come in.

This is Lawrence Van Allen
to the guard holding Dr. Collins.

Do you copy?

Holding cell, come in!

Do something!

My God.

What happened?
Where'd they go?

( grunts )

Put security
on full alert!

Find Dr. Collins.

Man:
Which one?

Both of them!

( grunts )

- Afternoon, Doc Collins.
- Hi, Mark.

It's so lovely today
I just thought I'd play hooky.

No problem, Doctor.
I just gotta check out your car.

- My car?
- Yeah, it's a new company policy.

I guess there's some stuff
that's gone missing

- from a couple of the labs.
- Really?

Yeah, I know, who'd
want to steal a couple of test tubes, huh?

Anyway, I gotta check
every vehicle that goes out of here.

It's not your fault
though.

Of course not.

- This is fine.
- Oh, good good.

- Well, have a nice day.
- Trunk too.

- The trunk?
- Yeah.

It's a real pain
in the butt, ma'am. Sorry.

Man on radio:
Gate Security, come in.

- Excuse me.
- Wait.

Look, I'm kind of
in a rush, you know,

to get to the beach
so I can work on my tan.

Could you just check
my trunk out first

- and then I'll get
out of your hair? - Yeah, sure.

I guess whatever
they're squawking about can wait a sec.

Thank you so much.
You're the best.

And just because of that,
I'm gonna give you the honor

of checking out my trunk.

What the hell?

Now, I know this looks
suspicious, uh...

( groans )

Nathan!

See, I bet there are
still things about me you don't know.

- Obviously you're right.
- Hey, come on!

- It's so pretty.
- Not as pretty as you.

Smooth.

- The water looks great.
- Uh-huh.

We should go
for a swim.

I didn't bring
my suit.

You don't
need a suit.

LC, are you crazy?
We can't just take off our clothes.

Why not?
There's nobody around.

Right now.
What if somebody comes?

So what if they do?
Besides, we'll be in the water.

So who's gonna know?

You're a very bad
influence on me, you know that?

If you're afraid to
do it, I understand.

- I'm not afraid.
- Oh yeah?

Hey, you did
bring your suit!

- Coming?
- Yeah.

What are
you doing?

This water's
cold, baby.

So who's afraid now?

What would I possibly
be afraid of?

You know, that was
my first kiss.

Really?

Where are
you going?

To the moon!

That was my
first kiss, too.

Well, ready or not,
here I come.

LC?

Very funny, LC.

Shark!
Shark!

Come on, I've been
called worse.

Oh my God!

Come on!

Okay, keep your eyes open.
If you see anybody--

cops, security,
anybody-- take off.

No, I'm not gonna
leave you.

I was hoping you'd
say that.

Hang tight,
be right back.

Hello, is this
the Coast Guard?

Okay good. I need
to speak to whoever's in charge of...

well, sharks.

Okay, I know this is gonna
sound crazy, but, uh...

My name?
That's not important.

What's important is that
you need to send your boats out right now

armed with everything
you've got.

Why?

Because...

because there are half
a dozen government-grown killer sharks

on the hunt along
the beaches of this city.

And unless your people
take action right now a lot of people are going to die.

Hello?

Aw, don't do this.
Hello?

Hey, I'm serious here!
Hello!

Goddamn bureaucrats!

Shit!

Marla!

- Change for a 20?
- No!

Hey!

You guys got change
for a 20?

Thank you.

Unbelievable.

Un-believable!

- So how'd it go
with the Coast Guard? - Not great.

- Well, I got something
better, this. - Which is?

The prototype to the Blue
Demon command program.

Now, it's a rough version,
but it might work.

The signal might
be a little weak,

but if I can tap into
the lab's transmitter and then into this--

You're going
to try to control

six sharks
with your laptop,

a cell phone
and a car radio?

That's your problem, Nathan.
You're always so negative.

- Negative?
- Negative, yes, negative.

You might try seeing the cup
half full for a change.

( radio switches on )

Reporter:
In other news, police are on a manhunt this hour

for Dr. Marla
and Nathan Collins from Acro Marine

with alleged ties
to a terrorist organization

working right here
in Northern California.

They are considered
armed and dangerous...

Hmm, you're right.
Things are looking up already.

Now back to the music.

I've been at it
for two solid hours. I'm starving, dude.

Well, don't let our
little emergency

come between you
and your Twinkies!

How much longer before
the reboot is complete?

Should be
any minute now.

Whoa!
Wait a sec.

- What now?
- There's another signal here.

Somebody's tapped into
the command frequency.

- They're trying to communicate
with the sharks. - It's them.

Looks like they're using
a phone line to hack into the system.

Probably
a cell phone.

Can you track the signal,
find out where they are?

Yeah, I guess.

But that's like
totally illegal.

Hello!
Government.

That's what we do.
Find them!

Not cool.

- Anything?
- Still searching for a signal.

Look, maybe you're right.
Maybe this is a stupid idea.

Hey, don't say that.

- Why not? It's what
you're thinking anyway. - No it's not.

It's okay, Nathan.
I'm a big girl, I can take it.

I was thinking
you're the smartest wom--

you're the smartest
human being I've ever met.

It's what attracted me
to you in the first place.

Really?

Yeah, really.

I thought
it was my ass.

Well, okay, maybe it was
a little bit your ass.

I watch you,
you know?

When you work.

and you get that far away
look in your eyes,

and I wonder

what it must be like
to be in there with you.

What was that thing

that you were gonna tell me
before all this started?

Okay, um--

( computer beeping )

I got a signal!
I found them!

Oh my God.

Okay, they breached the lake.
They're in the ocean.

- They're still traveling
in a group formation. - Where are they?

Well, according to this,

just a few miles ahead.

Okay good, this is
a nice desolate area.

Let's just hope they find
a nice long, lonely beach

with nobody around
for miles.

- This is not good.
- No it's not. The noise, the splashing,

this is like ringing a dinner
bell for our sharks.

You've gotten
your signal, right?

You can send the command
and get them to return to the compound.

If the uplink
to the main transmitter holds, then I--

- Nathan, I'm just not sure.
- Hey! Think positive.

Give it a shot.

- What are you doing?
- I didn't have much luck with the Coast Guard.

Let's see if I can convince
these kids I'm not crazy.

Have you actually seen
these sharks around here?

No, not exactly,
but we've been tracking them from down the coast.

My wife-- well,
my ex-wife,

she's in the car
with a computer...

- ( sighs )
- ...trying to send a signal to them

- with her cell phone--
- Okay, look, Doctor...

- Collins.
- Dr. Collins.

I know you're probably
under a lot of stress,

but they have laws against
drinking on the beach.

Drinking alone,
that is.

( girl screams )

Keep trying, Jen!

- ( gasps )
- Pardon me, ma'am.

You need to step out
of the vehicle, please.

- I'm sorry.
- You need to exit the vehicle now, ma'am.

Jesus Christ!

It's a shark!
It's a shark! Get out of here!

Holy cow!

Come on!
Get out of the water!

Come on!
Everybody out!

Hey, come on!

There are sharks in the water.
What are you doing? Come here!

Come on!
Hey, come here!

( sobbing )

Dr. Collins, look out!

( alarm sounding )

- Fuck it!
- ( computer buzzes )

Hi.

Hi.

How do you feel?

Okay, I guess.

My leg's
a little itchy.

What the hell?

No!

Oh, God, no!

No!

Bad dream?

Oh, God,
okay.

What happened?

I um...

overloaded
the signal.

Blew the chips.

They're dead?

Oh God, Marla,
I'm sorry.

This project...

those sharks
were your life.

They used to be.

Good, you're up.

That'll save me having
to repeat myself.

Lawrence, I think
this can wait until after Nathan gets some rest.

I had six very expensive
sharks at the start of this.

I now have none.

Somebody has to pay.

Take a hike, Larry.

- Four.
- What?

There were only four
sharks at the beach.

I only saw four.

Are you sure?

Trust me, it's not
something I would forget.

This is Van Allen.
How many carcasses did you retrieve?

I see.
And did you--

Thank you.

Four.
Another one dead from an overzealous fisherman.

No sign of the sixth
one anywhere.

Okay, they've
been traveling

in school formation
all along.

What would finally
make them separate?

Maybe they didn't.

Maybe they
were never together in the first place.

Hey, guys, great job
with the sharks!

I heard all about it.
You guys deserve a medal.

Stuff it, Avery.

- What are you doing?
- Look at this.

Wha--
how'd that happen?

- Says it's real time.
- But it's not monitoring anything at all.

- This is a program
he made, a decoy. - To throw us off track.

You guys don't know
what you're talking about. You know they're dangerous.

You were after them!
They're terrorists!

All right, "dude,"
where's my shark?

I believe I can answer
that question for you.

Ah, General.
We didn't expect to see you.

( gun cocks )

Everybody up
against the wall.

Not you, Dashlow.

Oh, yeah.

General, I'm not
sure I understand.

Of course you don't
understand, Van Allen.

Because you're nothing
more than a patsy.

This whole thing--
the computer shutdown,

the sharks' escape--
it was all you.

He had a little help.

Why, Avery?

You can't buy Porsches
with dreams.

The money.
Duh!

Why would you sabotage
something like this?

You're a patriot,
for God's sake!

That's exactly why,
because I am a patriot.

This government
of ours is weak.

We were doing okay
for a while there.

We had our
heads on straight about terrorism.

But now they're starting
to divert money into social programs,

schools, the homeless,
the poor.

Before you know it
our military won't be more than a couple of Boy Scouts

walking around
carrying penknives.

Well it's not gonna
happen on my watch!

Then I thought
this shark of yours...

well, now if he can
defuse a bomb,

he sure as hell
can deliver one.

Red Dog.

Smartest in the class.

( grunts )

- World record!
- Nice toss.

( groans )

I'm going to get him.

No no come back!
Forget about him!

We need to find
Red Dog.

He said it
could plant a bomb. Is that possible?

If he's programmed
it outside our system, anything's possible.

Okay, they probably have
a separate lab

somewhere else
with a control program tapped into ours.

- Avery.
- Avery.

Cheap, just like
I suspected.

( engine starts )

Where are you
going, Avery?

Come here, you
lousy punk!

Avery's been doing
his homework.

Okay.

- ( keyboards clicking )
- ( computer beeping )

Charming.

Okay, this is the original
command program

and that is the shadow
program that he created.

And here's our
missing shark.

It's Red Dog.

Whoa whoa!
What is that?

I don't know.
It's reading on the image.

Oh my God.
Plutonium.

It's the Russian
suitcase bomb.

Remora bought it
for himself.

What's the target?

Somewhere further
up the coast.

I'm just getting
the coordinates now.

I'll just bring it
up here on the map.

And I'll try
to reprogram Red Dog.

You can't try, Marla.
You can do it.

Okay, and it should
be right there.

Oh my God!

( groans )

Thanks to you
Remora's not gonna pay.

But I bet somebody else
will for that.

Nathan?

( electrical zapping )

( engine starts )

Ow!
What the?

Avery!
You dumb-ass moron!

( tires screeching )

( tires screeching )

My God!

( tires screeching )

( shrieks )

God!

( shrieks )

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, I'm okay, yeah.

The command key!

( bomb beeping )

- ( sighs )
- Wait, where's he going now?

Without a command program
the chip defaults...

to the original setting.

Hello, this is Lawrence
Van Allen calling.

Yes, I was wondering,
is that teaching position at the university still open?

Yes I'll hold.

You can forget about
that tenure of yours, Van Allen.

I'll make sure
of that.

Another trumped-up
charge, General?

I don't think so.

It's you alone who will
be counting ceiling tiles at Leavenworth.

I've been through three wars,
two invasions

and one hell
of a skirmish.

I'll be damned
if I'll be brought down by some goddamn fish!

( alarm blares )

Can you say sushi?

- ( lock buzzes )
- ( door seals )

( explosion )

Radio announcer:
A nuclear accident at Acro Marine Laboratory

was just that--
an accident.

There's been no evidence
of foul play

and absolutely no
indications of terrorist involvement.

Thankfully the facility
is equipped with lead- shielded walls

to handle such incidents
and the repercussions, if any,

are negligible
to the public safety.

There will be an investigation
and a full hearing into the matter.

- You ready for this?
- All I can do is tell the truth.

I'll just tell them
exactly what happened.

- Wait.
- What?

You never told me.
That thing

that you were
gonna tell me?

Oh right, that.
Um...

Yeah, that, uh...
so, what do you say?

Right here, right now,
before flag and country,

what was it?

The divorce papers.

Yeah?

I didn't file them.

Oh.

Are you mad?

I mean, after everything
that we've been through,

I guess, I could
still go and--

Remember you
dropped this?

Want to see if
it still fits?

Perfect.

God, I missed that ass!

Come on, kids.

They're waiting.

Senator:
All right, Dr. Collins,

why don't you all start
at the beginning.

Tell us how
this all happened.

Marla:
As you know, Senator, with the airways relatively safe

it was time to begin
covertly securing

our oceans and waterways.

It started out
as an experiment.

The first change
was in the eyes.

The iris separated
from the pupil

and it followed
movement

like a motion
detector.

I'd watch them
hours on end

and when they'd see me
they'd stare back,

unblinking,
unemotional.

Sometimes I swear
they were laughing at me.

We didn't mean for things
to go as far as they did,

but in a world that's
mostly covered with water

we needed a new
kind of defense.

Just another fish
in the sea.

But we made
a horrible mistake.

We meant to take the next
step in evolution,

but we created
a monster.

Senator:
I see.

And would you say
it was possible

for this sort of thing
to happen again?

Honestly, Senator,
I don't know.
