Previously on Surface.

You sure
your parents won't notice?

Whoa!

I think he likes them alive.

Looks like you caught
your fish.

Shut it down now!

The damage
to his face was extensive.

I was about
to pronounce

when the nurse found
an extremely faint pulse.

Mr. Singh?

The Institute's
research programs

have been suspended
indefinitely.

I was the one that saw it

Alone, at 5,000 feet.
A new vertebrate!

George did not drown!

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

That thing took my brother and I
ain't leaving until I get a look at it.

Mom, what kind
of snakes are they?

They're not snakes,
baby, they're hagfish.

These hagfish fed
on the carcass.

Daughtery,
you can't be here.

I have a right to my own work,

and a right
to my own research,

and a right to know
what's down there.

This is gonna help me.

I met someone else
who saw it.

"It"?
Yeah.

The sea monster Godzilla thing. Yes.

Come on, now, this is a good
thing. It means I'm not crazy!

Let's see. Over there.

Somewhere over there
is Austin.

That's where I go to school.

And
down there on the boat,

that is Mallory and Garth.

Great job, Kadee!

Just look at her!

Good job!

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

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

Let's see. Over there is...

What is that?

What...

You're doing great!

Mallory, turn around!

Turn around! Look out!

Oh, my God! Turn around!

Go that way.

Look at her.
She is scared to death!

Guys, look out! Look out!

Oh, my God!

Look out!

Oh, my God!

Is that age-appropriate
behavior? RON: Hmm?

All that time in a playhouse.

They're making a fort.
Boys make forts.

You ready, Nim?

What do you think
of your new home?

He digs it.

You realize this is a
misappropriation of university funds.

I would have gone
someplace else,

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

Well, there's that.
Yeah.

So where'd you
get the sample?

Intestines of a hagfish.

A hagfish
is a primitive vertebrate.

It feeds on carrion.

Really?
So what is it?

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

What's that?
Kind of a prehistoric eel.

Is that a species
that exists near the rift?

Well, it did.
Liopleurodon is extinct.

It has been
for 100 million years.

Honey, honey!
What?

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

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

We do! We do!

What kind of adventure?

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

that are just now
being discovered.

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

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

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

Yeah, yeah.
It's the...

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

Oh! And guess what, girls?

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

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

And then they're gonna
have field photography

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

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

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

This is gonna be a ball.
Awesome!

Awesome!

Great.

Nim?

Got you some goldfish, Nim.

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

Here you go.

I hate it when he does that.

That is so sick.

I'll take one.

Here you go.
Thank you.

Hi, how you doing?

Get one of these.

You can see
it's amphibian in nature.

Hey,
let's go over here!

Girls, stay
where I can see you.

Oddly enough,
this specimen has eleven legs.

I myself saw
a marine humanoid off the Keys

swim parallel to our boat
for over 90 minutes.

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

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

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

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

Did you take that?

May 17th, 2002.

Twenty miles off Mobile.

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

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

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

Late May. How long were you in contact?

One, maybe two minutes.

Did you see the lights?

Dozens.
You know, that's a first.

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

I absolutely mind.

Any side effects
since the encounter?

Yeah, I mean,
I've been having some

episodes, you know,
like panic attacks.

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

Mom?
What is it, honey?

There are dinosaurs
in the Bible.

You know, I've had
similar panic attacks.

I've had some recurring nightmares. Rich.

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

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

Honey, we just got here.
Now.

So how long
were you a prisoner?

What?

A prisoner
in the Aquatic City.

You're in
perfect health.

Recovery's total,
best we can tell.

When can I see my kids?

Lee's okayed
a phone call in time,

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

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

Excuse me for interrupting.

There's been a new citing,
in Texas.

In the Gulf?
No.

Three hundred miles inland.

Fourteen
confirmed casualties.

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

So far it's getting traction.
For now.

Relax.

Containment's
my specialty.

Have we sent anyone below?

The heat is too intense
to send someone down.

But we are working
on an ROV.

This extends
the range estimate.

Yeah, to land.

This message
is for Aleksander Cirko.

I am in the possession of some
very compelling evidence

that I feel certain he will be
interested in discussing.

Please call me
before 5:00 p. m.

or my next call will be
the Berrong Institute.

Let's see
if that gets a reaction.

What's a "final notice"?

Oh!

Hello?

It's Aleksander Cirko.

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

Is that the reaction?

Yeah.

One-handing it again,
kiddo? Huh?

What you doing?

Eels? Some biology paper?

Well, they have
these special cells

that all polarize
at the same time

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

Sounds pretty interesting.

Do you know of
any other animals

besides the electric eel
that shock?

Other than your mother, no.

I love you, Son.

I love you, too.

Well,

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

Anybody pregnant?
Just kidding.

What about fireflies?
Fireflies?

Other electric animals.
They glow, right?

Good night.

Fireflies?

You know what, hon?

I learned a lot more
about cryptozoology

than I ever thought
I was gonna.

Amen.

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

How is that?

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

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

Hey, you know
what I was thinking?

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

You know...

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

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

Do you think we should
go see someone?

No. That won't help.

Don't be so hard-headed.

I am hard-headed.

Then help me understand.

I don't understand.

That's the problem.

Okay.

Come on, Cirko.

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

I was surprised
to hear from you.

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

that underneath
all the hardware

you still might be
dedicated to open science.

Where would you get
an idea like that?

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

Here's a sample of the extinct
genetic material.

And yet here it is.

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

The sea contains
many mysteries, Doctor.

An underwater volcano.

A big one, I think.

Enough to annihilate all
marine life for 100 miles.

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

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

I wanted you to see this.

To see that there are
consequences here

beyond any
you may have imagined.

Consequences that make

the normal method of
collaborations impossible.

Is that a threat?

I wish it weren't.

Hey, Frodo.

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

Nothing.

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

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

Don't threaten me.

The party, Greg, Valentine's?

Yeah. It's all on the table.

Why do you care about
that disgusting thing so much?

Why do you care about
your pom-pom squad?

Because it's meaningful, because
it represents accomplishment.

Yeah? So will Nim.

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

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

Not everyone cares
about going to Duke.

Yeah, and what
do you care about, Miles?

Komodo dragons, wizards,
creatures from another planet?

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

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

You know
what your problem is?

Please, enlighten me.

You don't have
a sense of wonder.

You get that
off a greeting card?

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

Yeah, I can see that.

You're heading
towards the playhouse!

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

and Cirko and his people
are denying access.

Alex Cirko?
Yeah, Alex Cirko.

Nobody's heard from him
in 15 years.

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

So, you had an encounter
with a species?

Yes, and it almost destroyed
a 50 ton submersible.

And where's the submersible?

I told you, the Mystic
is confiscated.

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

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

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

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

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

You don't know?

Know what?

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

And according to him, three
paragraphs of your thesis

were lifted verbatim.

That's absurd.

He made it sound
pretty airtight.

Your degree's under review.

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

This is all part of it.

Part of what?

Part of what?

Hon.

Hi.

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

Oh, gosh.
Go, go.

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

Yeah, I did it.
I lifted it all.

Hey, I understand.
I wrote my thesis

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

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

Okay, I know. Relax.

This is past due, you know.

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

So get a new one.

Who's gonna hire me?

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

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

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

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

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

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

And they don't fight fair.

So why should you?

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

She's generally
not aggressive towards people,

but if they have a dog...

She's a powerful breed.

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

Hey, there.
What are you watching?

A show about training dogs.

We don't have a dog, Miles.

Mom, I'm trying to watch here.

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

Owners change.

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

Whoever is around Emily have
to represent authority figure.

That's the only way
we can correct the problem

when she makes a mistake.

Good to see you again, Rich.

Rich, I'm so sorry.
Hi.

Hey, Rich.

Welcome back.

I'm so sorry
about your brother.

Sorry, Rich.

If there's anything
I can do.

Miss Wilson,
you're still there?

Hi. I'm sorry
to put you on hold.

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

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

and there's a pecking order.

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

with aggressive behavior.

Oh.

Savannah, do you know
where Miles hid my tools?

I think I saw him
out by the playhouse.

With tools
come responsibility.

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

He's a proud breed.

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

Yeah.

Whoa.

Miles.

Hi, Phil.
Hey.

There it is.

There what is, Dad?

My toolbox.

When we borrow things,
we put them back.

Sorry, Pop.

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

No problem.

Yes, ma'am.

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

Mmm-hmm. Your policy
is definitely strong right now

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

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

Okay.

Hey, Rich.

Rich.

Rich!

You're spilling, man.

Huge.

Where did you see it?

What are you doing up?

Nothing.

How did you respond
to Daughtery?

She's been contained.

Your specialty.

I have some experience
with whistle blowers.

Talk would only make her
more determined.

So you ruin her career.

She has a son, you know?

Let's get to the debrief.

This footage
was shot last night

inside the sinkhole in Texas.

A Navy robot
was outfitted

to withstand heat
up to 800 degrees.

How far did it get?

Forty-three,
44 miles

all the way to the magma.

That's when the ROV melted.

But not before
it sent back this.

Why don't they
burn up in the heat?

Perhaps its home.

You mean that
this is their habitat?

Maybe the species isn't a
sudden evolutionary mutation.

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

The secretion's ability
to recuperate is remarkable.

In addition to facilitating
Dr. Singh's recovery,

we've documented it

restoring diseased cells

at a nuclear level.

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

Yeah. This image
has been slowed down

so you can see
the deterioration.

Millions of cells
per second.

It would have been
gone by dawn.

We had no choice
but to freeze it.

Imagine
the possibilities, Davis.

A new era of medicine,

maybe the end of disease.

You know your problem, Doctor?

You're an optimist.

Hi. I'm looking
for a Wayne Johnson.

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

Hi. Affiliation?
Monterey Oceanographic.

Look, I was interested
in getting a recording

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

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

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

Well, I got
over 500 hydrophones

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

Without
specific coordinates...

46, 15 North, 129, 53 West.

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

What day?
September 19th.

September 19th?

Two guys
came in here yesterday

looking for
the exact same thing.

You should be dead.

Extensive facial contusions,

massive blood loss
and look at you.

I'm a miracle.

There are no miracles
in science.

Somehow
this species produces

a collagen-binding
membrane like obratzin.

This allows them to survive
in such a hostile environment.

Alex?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Who are the...
Who are these guys?

Both of them are civilians,

but they had
DOD credentials

and a subpoena
to confiscate the material.

So they seized
the sound file?

From the mike
you're talking about, yeah.

So what's the range
on these mikes?

500 miles, give or take.

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

say, like that one?

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

underwater
from 100 miles away?

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

It's like a needle
in a haystack.

You're eating my head!

Did you hear it?
No.

What's it matter, anyways?

A wild recording means

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

Pay the power bill?

Today's gonna be a good day.

No hearing voices,

just a regular day
for us regular folks.

Yep, just a day in the life.

Okay.
Go make yourself useful.

Looks like
we're in for one, huh?

Hi. I heard you were hiring?

You have some
restaurant experience?

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

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

It's $4.25 an hour
plus tips.

When do I start?

Rich.

Rich.

Rich.

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

Heavenly Father,
please bless this food

to the nourishment
of our bodies. Amen.

I think it would be nice
if you said

something meaningful
during the blessing.

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

Thank you
for my loved one.

Ones.

I'm trying not to get
frustrated even though

I know most kids would have
given up by now.

I know that through
consistency and repetition,

through positive reinforcement
and not rewarding bad behavior

that you'll take
care of everything.

Because deep down I know
that there's something good

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

Amen.

Amen.
Amen.

Thank you, Miles.

Okay, that was creepy.

Savannah.
What?

Hey, I applaud the effort.

Miles! Miles!

Miles!

Jeez!

Oh, my God,
the playhouse.

Everyone get back inside.
Just get back inside!

Miles!
Get away!

Miles, come here. Miles.

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

Miles, come on.

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

Miles!

Get back inside! Come on!

Oh, Rich.

Rich, honey?

Honey? What happened?

Something

wonderful.

What? Rich?

Honey, look at me.
Look at me.

My brother, George,

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

Hey, you went for the heat.

It's okay.

It's okay, little buddy.

Did you do it?

Did you make the lightning
flatten Savannah's playhouse?

Did you?

Good boy.

Twelve hours, $68.

So much for my thesis.

Wrong bandwidth.

I have you
on the wrong bandwidth.

Cirko, it's Laura Daughtery.

I need you to listen to this.

Okay, hear this.

Do you hear that sound?

That is the species.
I have it on tape.

You shouldn't be calling.

Who is this?

I believe Dr. Cirko
gave you some advice

about pursuing this,
Dr. Daughtery.

Is that what you call it?
"Advice"?

Is that what you call framing
someone for plagiarism,

taking their career
away from them?

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

I'm not going anywhere.
I have proof!

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

Imagine a perfectly
evolved animal, Mr. Lee.

One that has ability to
heal itself instantaneously.

And you've replicated the results
under controlled conditions?

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

Such a species
might well be invincible.

Impervious to physical harm.

Quite fascinating.

I'm not sure
I share your enthusiasm.

Wadham's report came in.

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

"Significant thermohaline deterioration
across the northern Pacific."

The ocean's heating up.

Yes. They dig,
they release heat.

The question, Mr. Lee,
is how much?

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

although it's not
the largest

or the most regular geyser
in the park.

The average
interval between eruptions

is 91 minutes.

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

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

Although, the interval between
eruptions has lengthened

due to vandalism
and earthquakes.

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