Warm enough?

Yeah.

That's not cool, Robbie.

One more bottle. What difference does it make?

Okay, I'm sorry.

Forgive me?

[sloshing sound in distance]

What was that? What?

That noise.

It's called "the lake".

[sloshing sound]

[stereo off]

That's not the lake.

See?

Chill.

We're all alone out here.

[sloshing sound]

Do you hear it, too?

Robbie?

What are you doing?

My dad's gotta have a flashlight somewhere.

Robbie, I'm scared.

[Robbie] Check it out, an otter!

[laughing]

It's probably just making sure we're not predators.

Mm-hmm.

Otters do that.

Or maybe...

it was the lake monster coming to get ya!

[both laughing]

You were scared too, Robbie.

Yeah, yeah, I'm shaking all over.

Whatever. Just don't be a jerk.

I thought we came out here to have a good time.

Hey, hey. What?

Let's, let's not rush things, okay?

Don't you trust me?

Your hands are cold... and wet.

[screaming]

Krissy?

[coughing] Krissy!

Krissy!

[gulls squawking]

Hey.

Hi, honey. Just in time for breakfast.

I thought you'd still be sleeping.

If I don't get up early, I don't get to see you.

How do you want your eggs?

Just some coffee.

I've got to go to work. Kat.

Mom.

I guess I'll see you some time tomorrow.

I don't like the idea of youbeing out on the lake all night.

Yeah, me neither,

but it was either that or lose my permit.

That Kat's such a bitch.

Yeah, but we need the money.

You think that scientist is vegetarian?

I don't know. I'll ask him when I meet him.

Well, if he is, tough.

I made you salami for lunch, chicken for dinner.

Thanks, babe.

Don't work too hard today, huh?

Candace is coming in later. Good timing.

[sigh]

[seagulls squawking]

[bell clanging]

Okay, so when was the last timethat you actually saw her then?

Six o'clock yesterday with Robbie MacGregor.

Six o'clock.

I told Krissy from the start, he's trouble.

Well, I wouldn't worry. I mean, she's a teenager.

She stayed out all night with her boyfriend, you know?

She's not her boyfriend. He's just playing with her.

Still, I'm sure she'll be home soon.

Remember when you were a kid and you snuck off to the mainland,

blew all your gas money on cigarettes and beer?

Krissy's my responsibility now.

She's my little sister.

Krissy's a smart girl, though, you know?

She can take care of herself.

Besides, I can't even send out a patrol until she's been missing

for at least twenty-four hours, Will.

You know that.

I don't know why I thought you would help.

Zack, it's Kat.

Go Kat.

Can you do me a favor, buddy?

I need you to send out a boat to the north shore.

I'm looking for Joe MacGregor'sboat -- Nova Wolf.

You got it.

Thank you.

What are we doing here?

Come on, where's your sense of adventure?

Half the fun is getting there.

Larissa, out!

[Man] Welcome to Fells Island.

Would you care to buy a T-shirt?

Lake monsters?

Mister, that's a bunch of bull.

James, don't be rude.

But mom... It's okay, ma'am.

I was skeptical too. I mean that is...

till I seen him for myself.

It was a misty night.

Right here on this very shoreline.

I seen a slithery black monster

poke its head up outta the water.

Thank you.

Watch out for those lake monsters.

[papers shuffling] [chatter on radio]

[radio chatter continues]

Hi.

Hi.

Can I help you? [chuckles]

Yeah. I'm Dan Leland. I'm here to see Officer Tomas.

Oh, right, Dr. Leland.

Yes, from the National Oceanographic...

Research Agency. Yes.

Yeah. We just call it NORA.

So, can you let him know I'm here?

I'm Katrina Tomas, hi.

I'm the fisheries officer for Fells Island.

Tomas, sorry.

Welcome.

You can call me Kat.

All right.

So, sorry for the mess around here.

Um, see, Sheriff Grady

just kinda died on us,

and that makes me the only law now,

which is kinda scary.

Okay.

I'd like to get my equipmenton the boat as soon as possible.

Oh, you don't want to check

into your hotel or anything first?

No, no. It's business before pleasure.

Right.

And just so know, it wasn't actually

all that easy getting you aboard a boat.

Why not? NORA not paying enough?

[chuckles]

No, it's just that we've had researchers here before.

They say they're gonna help and then they hand in the reports

and the fisheries shut down.

Well, I'm not here to help.

I'm going to do unbiased research,

find out why catches have plummeted.

You'll be going out with Captain Gunnar Thorson.

He is the finest fisherman on the island.

Great.

Let me guess.

Gunnar, this is Dr. Dan Leland,

from NORA.

Can I have a word with you for a sec, please?

I'll just be one second.

What's up?

You said take out a researcher,

not a mountain of gear.

He is a researcher, Gunnar. What did you expect?

So, you're the scientist guy.

Supposed to tell us why we ain't got no fish?

That's right. You're wasting your time.

It ain't no mystery.

It's the Indians.

Catch whatever they want, no permits,

some kind of tribal rights crap.

Just ask Chief Pocahontas. She'll tell ya all about it.

That's not my problem. She's a half-breed.

What they call Métis.

Part white, part brown, crazier than both.

All right, get your crap aboard.Keep it out of the way.

This is a working boat.

When do we launch?

Five minutes ago.

Terrific.

Bon voyage.

[sighs]

[Gunnar] Nice new generator.

Bring your own anchor, too?

I need it to power some of my equipment.

There's an outlet right there.

Yeah, I know, thanks.

But the AC output of your engine is uneven.

Oh.

Hey, Spider! Jordy!

The AC output of the engine is uneven!

[engine starts]

Harbormaster, this is Freya.

We're underway.

[horn blasting]

[Man on radio] All clear, Gunnar. Good luck.

[water lapping shoreline]

Oh, look at these rocks.

[chuckles]

This is fascinating.

[sloshing sound]

What the-- [gasps]

Jim, honey. Come on. We're getting hungry.

Jim?

Kids, did you see where your father went?

No. Where is he?

Jim?

Honey, you're scaring the kids.

Jim!

Anything? Yeah.

There's so many fish out there you could walk on 'em.

I just didn't wanna bother you.

Found some fish, Professor?

It's kinda weird, actually. I thought I had a bead

on something nice for a second there.

It could have been a nice school of pickerel,

but it just disappeared.

What? The fish disappeared?

Spider, the fish disappeared.

Where'd they go?

I don't know. Ask the professor.

What the hell is all this crap?

Hey, don't touch that, please.

It's standard equipment.

Sonar, fish finder, thermal imaging.

You wanna find the fish?

Tell the government to spike that damn tribal rights initiative.

Them Indians have been screwing us over.

Native rights crap if you ask me.

Well, I'm not asking you.

Well, I'm telling you.

Look, NORA, right, sent me here

to do an analysis on why commercial fishing

has been so hard-hit in this region.

It could be any number of things.

It could be climate change,

could be pollution,

could be something you guys are doing incorrectly?

What, you think it's our fault?

I think it would be foolish

to draw any conclusions

without any substantial evidence.

Making friends?

[sighs]

Yeah.

I think we're off to a great start.

Your place would be perfect.

I'm not having a baby shower at my house.

I hate babies.

So, Captain made Gunnar take a researcher from NORA out with him.

I had to make him lunch and dinner. Yeah, I heard.

Jordy was ranting about it this morning before he left.

Ain't this researcher paying?

Not much for the trouble.

We can sure as hell use the money.

Do you think she's sweet on him?

My Gunnar?

No, the NORA guy. I heard he was handsome.

Better not let Jordy hear you say that.

Kat's got a thing for those science guys.

That's why she's always bending over to help them.

What does she care? She's still cashing her government pay check.

She's supposed to be helping the fishery.

Maybe you should talk to him, Jen.

What for?

Tell him what Kat's really like,

before she digs her claws into him.

Maybe I will.

[laughing]

[beeping]

What's going on? Something's out there.

What is this? Don't touch the equipment.

Well, what is that?

[beeps]

I don't know.

It could be a ship, could be a--

Whatever it is, it's not answering.

Yeah, and it's not moving either.

Let's find out.

Head right for it.

Jordy, take the wheel.

Hit those lights!

Spider, man that spot.

Slow as she goes, Jordy!

[engine slows]

Hello!

Can anyone hear me out there?

"Nova Wolf."

That's Joe MacGregor's speed boat.

Or what's left of it.

Man in the water.

Full stop. Man in the water.

Holy Ghost.

It's Robbie MacGregor.

I got him. I got him.

Come on, pull.

Okay, we got him.

[straining]

Is he dead?

[gasps] [all scream]

Jordy, get a blanket.

We've got to get his core temperature up fast.

I know hypothermia when I see it.

Breathe, Robbie, breathe!

Jordy, blanket now!

We were off North Point...

when it hit us.

What hit you?

What hit you, Robbie?

Monster.

What, like a wave, a squall?

Monster.

It knocked me off the boat.

I looked underwater and...

...it pulled her under.

I saw it eat Krissy.

I'm sorry.

It's all right, calm down.

Easy, easy, easy, just settle down.

Sorry. [muttering]

Jordy, get me another blanket. Spider, put on some water.

We got to get him to the engine room, all right?

Spider, get some water, now!

We got to get him hot.

The engine room's hot--

Leland! He's gone.

What the hell is he doin'?

I don't know.

Need a hand there?

No, no, I'm all right

[birds chirping]

So, how was your run this morning?

It was great, thank you.

I ran along the North Shore.

You're not going to meet any men on the North Shore,

Well, I don't want to shock you, Mom,

but I wasn't trying to meet any men.

I was just trying to get some exercise.

But I did talk to a man this morning.

Who?

Mr. Gadbury.

He's eighty. He's eighty-five,

and he's cute...

and he's single.

What about that new guy you were telling me about?

What new guy? The fish doctor.

Why don't you invite him for dinner?

You said he was handsome.

He is handsome, so what?

So is he interesting?

Maybe he's looking to settle down.

I think he's looking to do research, Ma.

He's here for, like, the week.

God, just get off my case.

[phone ringing]

Where's my phone?

[ringing]

Did this ring while I was out?

It might have.

[beeps]

Hey, Zack, it's Kat.

No, I just got back from my run.

Who is it?

I'll be right there.

I gotta go. What about your breakfast?

No time. I have to get to the fish plant right away.

I'll never get to be a grandmother.

[ice machine whirring]

RCMP is gonna want a statement from you.

Statement?

We didn't see anything.

When we pulled Robbie out of the water,

he was five feet in the grave.

Was he conscious?

Barely.

Did he say anything?

Nothing that made any sense.

A bunch of crazy babble.

You're awfully quiet.

Robbie had hypothermia.

It's been known to cause hallucinations, delirium.

I doubt what he said was--

He must have been driving that thing pretty fast.

Hit a rock or...

I don't know.

And you weren't able to salvage her?

Just bits and pieces.

The rest is at the bottom of the lake.

That boat was crushed.

There were anomalous circularabrasions on some of the pieces.

What do you mean? On the hull. I'll show you.

If you guys have been tamperingwith evidence--

Evidence of what?

What do you think caused those abrasions?

You know, if you guys are gonnastart talking about a giant squid, I'm outta here.

Who said anything about a giant squid?

Well, that's what you're thinking, isn't it?

I don't know what to think.

Look, all I know is that I've got one dead boy

and two other people missing!

She's gone.

Will. Will, you shouldn't be here.

Is that Robbie?

Yes.

Krissy?

She ain't coming back.

[gulls squawking]

[crow cawing]

[truck engine starting]

[typing]

[mouse clicks]

[answering machine] This is Dr. Dana Perch.

I'm away from my desk right now.

To leave a message, speak after the tone.

[beeps]

Dana, hey, it's Dan Leland calling from Fells Island.

Listen, I just e-mailed you some images and...

I'd like your opinion on them because I suspect, uh--

Well, we'll see.

Call me back.

[sighs]

[gulls squawking]

Hey. Hey.

Want to go for a drink? A drink?

Um, it's 10:30 in the morning.

Coffee's a drink.

Well, I was gonna hike

out past the East Shore about a missing tourist.

You're welcome to join me if you are up for it.

I'm up for anything.

Okay.

So, how long you been with the fisheries department?

Since I graduated.

Stayed out west for a little while,

but then I wanted to come back here.

Why? [chuckles]

Just my family...

and 'cause it's home, I guess.

How long have you been with NORA?

Two years now.

They recruited me right out of grad-school.

Recruited?

Yeah. Oh, I get it.

So, top of the class, star of the football team.

Could not be more wrong.

It was baseball. [laughs]

This is my first official field assignment, actually. Really?

Yeah, it's kind of punishment in a way. Punishment?

Well, I mean you're never gonnamake a name for yourself

when you're floating around in a boat somewhere.

At least that's what my dad always says.

You're dad's a scientist too? Not just a scientist.

He is the pre-eminent marine biologist of his generation.

Living legend.

You don't believe me, just ask him, he'll tell you.

[chuckles] Oh.

What does your father do?

It's just me and my mom, actually.

She's a nurse.

But back to you, now you said punishment.

Now that usually involves a crime, so what was yours?

I think I found your missing tourist?

Well, it's not really my area of expertise.

Okay, but if I'm guessing,

I'd say that it's a male torso.

I mean, but how the heck do I know for sure?

Okay, that's just gross.

Look, I bagged it, tagged it, and I put it on ice

until the coroner can get here.

Seventy-two hours! Why the delay?

All right.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out here then.

Thank you. Bye.

You still up for that drink?

♪♪ [continues]

I love fishing. Fishing's the best.

Not the best. Absolutely, it's the best.

It's pretty good. It's the best.

It's better than sex. Fishing is not better than sex.

Absolutely, it is.

Okay, top ten reasons why.

Okay top ten reasons fishing's better than sex.

Number 10--

If you catch something when you're fishing,

it's a good thing.

Oh, my God.

Number 9-- You don't have to pay extra

to watch fishing on TV at your hotel.

[laughing] Number 8?

Number 8, ah...

Okay, wait, no, I got number 8. [laughs]

If you, if you videotape yourself fishing,

there's no danger of it ending up on the Internet.

[laughs] Good one, good one.

Ah, fishing in groups never gets awkward.

[laughs]

Okay, your fishing partner will never get jealous

about people you used to fish with.

[laughing]

Ah, if you catch a fish and you release it,

you don't have to worry about calling the fish the next day.

Oh, that's bad!

It's true. That's bad manners.

Um, oh, if you see somebody you think looks

like they'd be really good at fishing,

you don't have to feel weirdabout wanting to fish with them.

Nothing to be embarrassed about

if your mom walks inand you're fishing by yourself.

[laughing] Yes, there is.

[laughs]

Oh, God, that's funny.

You're a funny guy, Dan Leland.

Who knew? Well, you know.

When I first met you, you didn't strike me as funny.

No? No.

You struck me a little bit, um, cold.

What? Just a little distant.

Cold?

I'm not cold, I'm friendly.

A little bit.

I'm a very friendly guy.

I'm, like, the friendliest guy--

Okay, is that why those guys won't talk to me?

I don't know.

[speaking Cree]

You know what?

I'm gonna talk to those guys.

No, Dan, don't. Yeah, I will.

Really, seriously, don't do that.

They've had a hard time, just--

Exactly. All the more reason I should go over and talk to them, man-to-man.

Dan, don't. You haven't even told me the number one reason.

There is no number one reason. Come on, nothing's better than sex.

If my sister is dead,

wisdom won't guide my hand, vengeance will.

Hey, guys. My name is Dan Leland.

I'm here doing some research-- We know who you are.

Mind if I sit down?

So, how's it going?

All right. [laughs]

Come on guys, what's going on?

[speaking Cree]

Sorry I don't, um...

You should drink with us, not these fish stealers.

Okay, come on now.

There used to be plenty of fishbefore the white man came.

Fish filled the boats to the gunnels.

Yeah and that's how you people fished out the lake.

Us? What happened to all the fish where you came from?

Yeah, why don't you hop in yourboat and paddle back to Europe?

Maybe I will.

Maybe I'll take all the firewater with me.

Hey-hey-hey, it's not worth it.

Not worth it. Hey! Hey!

Guys, are we gonna have a problem here?

Jordy?

The science guy's right.

I don't need this.

No surprise whose side you're on.

Jordy, I'm not on anybody's side.

So how'd that work out for you?

Not quite like I planned.

Come on, friendly.

[water lapping]

[reel whirring]

[grunting]

[reel whirring]

[gasps]

Just off one of the piers near the East Shore.

There a reward?

[gulls squawking]

By who's decision? Mine.

I got rent to pay! And alimony!

Who the hell do you think you are?

I am the maritime authority for Fells Island,

and until further notice, this is how it's going to be.

We're not afraid of what's out on the lake.

Or under it.

And what about the Indians?

Bet this ban don't apply to them!

You been playing favorites

with your people since God knows.

Damn it Jordy, you're all my people!

Can't you see I am trying to protect you? From what?

Gunnar, I have three dead bodies in as many days!

Look, as most of you know, I've been conducting some research.

[crowd grumbling] Is the water still wet?

I am looking into the possibility

of a sizeable, anomalous freshwater--

In English, professor, tell us in English.

Okay, what that means-- Possibility means

you don't know anything for sure, right? Yeah.

The company that I work for, NORA,

wants to conduct some tests, send up some experts.

Until then,

in my professional opinion-- I am sick of your tests!

This time you've gone too far, Katrina!

This is gonna bankrupt us!

She's gone off the deep end.

We're gonna get our own experts.

We're going over your head.

And over your head.

We're gonna get this fishery reopened!

[water bubbling]

Thanks for stepping in there

and trying to explain to them what's going on.

Yeah, anytime you need helplike that, you just let me know.

[chuckles]

Well, you won't win them over that way.

Clinically, these people have fishing in their blood.

Well, you could show them a torso half covered in sucker marks.

No, I can't, not till the coroner's here.

That's right.

Anyway, I know these people, Dan,

and they will not believe

what is right before their eyes.

I'm having a hard time myself.

Hang onto this stuff.

Keep the fishery open.

That's what you said. Shut up.

What's the point of hanging onto

those bits of the Nova Wolf now?

Fishery's been closed anyway.

This is exactly why I'm holding onto 'em.

I'm not goin' hungry.

Maybe I can sell 'em to someone who's interested

in the lake monster.

I don't know.

Selling stolen evidence.

I didn't steal them! [pinball machine dinging]

I netted them, not frickin' science guy.

But what if he's right?

Do you really think there's a lake monster?

Maybe.

You've been swallowing what science guy's been shoveling?

Look, I'm just-- You agreeing with the Indians?

Hell, no!

[pinball machine dinging]

Okay.

Then it's just like Gunnar said.

A few pieces of broken fiberglass hull

ain't proof of nothing.

They still might be worth something.

The markings I found on the speedboat and the torso

were perfectly round, serrated,and slightly beveled.

Consistent with what we know of a giant squid's grip.

A giant squid in a lake?

Look, freshwater squid have been documented in Florida.

This lake has both the depth and the average temperature

to provide a suitable habitat for an Architeuthis.

The pictures you e-mailed us were inconclusive.

[scoffs] To say the least.

Can you send us the pieces of the boat?

Unfortunately, the pieces are--have gone missing.

That's convenient.

Look, the local fishermen,

they think we're trying to run them out of business.

[Man] I see.

Okay, but I've got a very good relationship

with the fisheries department.

We'll get those pieces eventually.

And the human remains?

On ice, waiting for the RCMP toship them back to the mainland,

and they'll be with them for the duration of the investigation.

I assume you've ruled out a hoax of some kind?

An elaborate prank?

Do you remember what happened to Dr. Watkins

down in the South Pacific?

He tracked a balaenoptera musculus for weeks.

Called in the press.

Turned out to be a submarine

on maneuvers for the Australian Navy.

This is no submarine.

Dan, Watkins' career was ruined

before he even started.

[Man] Dan, what you're proposing doesn't make sense.

I sent you there to do responsible,

scientific research into the depleted food-chain,

not to dredge up a harebrained theory

about a giant squid attacking people.

Okay, I've got a severed leg

and a torso with no head.

Cut by the motor blades.

And the sucker marks?

What sucker marks?

More likely consistent

with the blades from an outboard.

[Woman] We can't justify

any kind of investigation

on such a ridiculous pretext.

We wouldn't dare approach the board for funding.

Fine, I'll go elsewhere.

You'll do no such thing.

Now we've been through this already.

You needed a little field assignment

so you could float around and cool off a bit,

not to make up a ridiculous story

about a freshwater Architeuthis!

[laughing]

I mean, what would your father think?

[Woman] You haven't spoken

to anyone about this, have you?

As a representative of NORA?

That's just terrific.

Your father's gonna love that.

Dr. Leland screams giant squid.

When's the earliest you can fly back here?

I don't know.

Find out!

And just so we're clear,

when you're in the field, you're representing NORA.

We value our credibility.

Dana, Dana, could you do me a personal favor?

Uh-uh. No way.

I'm not getting into the middle of this.

Take a look at the data

that I sent you, the biomass rates,

and cross-reference with any satellite photos

that we have of the area.

Dan, don't do this.

Get some rest.

[crunching]

I guess Gunnar was wrong about you.

He figured you'd have us shut down in a month.

All it took you was a couple of days.

Okay.

First of all, it wasn't my call.

Second of all, I believe the ban is a necessary precaution.

Against what, a lake monster?

It's a theory.

Your theory or hers?

Hers mostly, I'll bet.

You don't believe in it either, do you?

Lake monster?

Giant squid?

Taking your living from the water

means people are gonna go under from time to time,

I know.

Family's been here five generations.

I saw the MacGregor boat.

You saw smashed pieces of a hull.

Kat saw a shadow in the water when she was 7 years old,

got scared when her daddy drowned,

and made up stories,

screaming about a lake monster.

She had to stay with her Indian relatives after that.

She'd scream like a loon,

and she'd never go swimming.

You don't get it, do you, bright guy?

She closes down the fishery, you can just walk away.

We got nowhere to go.

She's got you to validate

what she's been obsessing over all these years,

and now everyone's gotta suffer.

She's nuts, doc.

And she's playing you likethe biggest fish that ever bit.

[crunching]

You got enough for winter?

Depends how cold it gets.

[wood cracks, clatters] Looks like hard work.

[chuckles] It is.

It's also a deeply satisfying way

to work out your frustrations.

Yeah?

[sighs]

You're right, that did feel good.

My conversation with NORA did not go well.

They're not sending any more researchers.

They made it very clear

how ridiculous they think this whole thing is--

and how ridiculous I would look if I pursued it.

But you told half the town NORA was interested in it.

They were gonna continue the research.

So you lied to us?

I was trying to back you up.

The whole town was jumping all over you.

I wanted to give them some reason to stand by your decision.

Well, thanks, Dan,

but this really doesn't do much for our credibility.

What credibility?

We didn't even know for sure

that this thing actually exists.

Why don't you come inside?

[Kat] When I was 7,

my dad took me out fishing this one time.

It was early in the morning.

There was just the two of us out on the boat.

The lake was real quiet.

Anyway, we were reeling one in

when something surfaced from under the boat.

And we thought that we'd run aground at first.

But we hadn't.

I saw it, Dan.

Archeteuthis.

I saw it take my father right out of the boat.

Why didn't you tell me any of this before?

Because I didn't know you before.

I had to know I could trust you.

Please understand

that I have been ridiculed about this

my entire life.

So you're the only one who's ever seen it?

Yeah, as far as I know.

Do you have any proof?

I just told you that I saw it.

That's not proof, Kat.

You could go to NORA,

and you could tell them that you have an eyewitness.

I can't do that.

You can't, or you won't?

It's not like I don't want to, okay?

If I went and I could prove that this thing existed,

I'd be on the cover of every magazine

from here to Japan, okay?

But look, the reality of the situation is

if I went to NORA with absolute proof

that this thing was out there,

you know what they'd do first?

They'd shut this place down indefinitely.

They'd bring out researchers. They'd study it.

They'd protect it.

The fishery would be gone.

At this point--

[sigh]

I mean, none of that even matters.

I mean, they want me off this island as soon as possible.

Are you leaving?

I don't have a choice.

Well, I guess we have nothing else to talk about, then, do we?

Come on, Kat, don't--

I'm sorry.

Hey, that's okay.

You don't have to be sorry, Dan.

You said yourself you weren't here to help.

Right?

Five generations. At least.

Gone.

Don't worry, Gun.

We'll get through this.

Who am I kidding?

I saw this coming.

Catches getting smaller and smaller each year.

Hey.

Don't blame yourself.

This is not your fault.

We'll be okay.

It's over, Jen.

[screaming]

Gunnar!

[screaming]

Jen, my knife! Aah!

Throw me my knife!

Uhh-ah-ah-ah!

Gunnar!

Aah!

Gunnar!

Ah. Ah.

Daah! Uhh!

Hell, I'm going for the ace.

Go. Yep.

Holy ghost!

Where in hell did you get that thing?

In-- In the pier.

It came for Jen and me, and I gave it hell.

Did you kill it?

This is a tiny bit.

The rest of it is out there.

It's just what Kat used to say when we were kids.

And the legend--

the Fells Island lake monster--

it's real.

Never thought I'd see the day.

We're going after it!

I've got to print more T-shirts.

Come on.

[Woman] Wait. Jordy!

It's all right, Mom. I'll get that.

Oh.

What are you doing sitting in the dark?

Just thinking.

Who came to visit?

What happened?

The science guy was here.

How do you know that?

The books.

Now, that's a surefire way to scare him off.

Well, you're right.

He bailed.

He got called back to his head office anyway.

Oh, it's okay, honey.

There's plenty more fish in the sea.

Thanks, Mom.

[knocking]

Hello, doctor.

We're gonna need two boats.

I thought you guys didn't believe in lake monsters.

Don't try and stop us.

Gunnar saw it himself. Brought us a piece of it.

You saw it, Gunnar?

So what's your plan?

I'm gonna shove a harpoon through its heart.

Okay.

The creature you're hunting likely has three hearts.

Got enough harpoons?

Careful at night, too,

because it's generally a night feeder.

It can search for prey with two tentacles

without even surfacing.

Yeah, and its suckers,

which are this big around, by the way,

it's suckers have these nasty little teeth in them,

Like hooks, they'll get in your skin and rip it clean off.

If it does rip your face off, though,

you'd be done pretty quick.

It's got a 4-foot beak with razor-sharp teeth.

It'll cut through you like a cheese slicer.

The son of a bitch is scaring the crap outta me.

That's exactly what he's trying to do. Well it's working.

Good. Because you guys go out there alone,

you don't stand a chance.

No, no. No way.

We're not going out with them Indians.

Jordy, will you shut up the hell up?

Look, Gunnar, we're coming with you.

You know what this means to me.

I think I know how to get this thing,

but we're gonna need both boats.

All right.

[boat engine starts]

Steady as she goes, Will. Stay on my course.

We're with you, Freya.

Clear sailing ahead.

[dialing]

Dan Leland's room, please.

[ring]

[ring]

[ring]

[ring]

[ring]

I still don't get it.

Squids are cephalopods, right?

Which means they have no skeleton.

While it makes them incredibly flexible, they have no stamina.

They're designed for a quick kill, not a protracted struggle.

This thing's probably as big as a bus.

Bigger. I mean, based on

the extrapolations I did from which you brought into the bar,

its tentacles alone could be 40 feet long.

Well, how are we supposed to kill something like that?

Squids use ammonia for buoyancy, all right?

The problem with ammonia is it doesn't function very long

in the warmer waters near the surface.

It's probably why they keep to the lower depths most of the time.

[sighs]

If we can keep this thing in the surface long enough,

its buoyancy sensors would be rendered completely useless.

It'll be totally disoriented.

So, we're going to net it between the two boats,

keep it up at the surface till it can't move anymore?

That's right.

All right.

Thank you. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You look kind of seasick.

I'm fine. Thank you.

Wiiskachaan to Freya.

This is Freya. Come in, Wiiskachaan.

It's all quiet on my end.

Maybe we should spread out, cover more water.

We can try it.

[engine revs]

How's Kat doing?

She looks a little seasick.

I'm fine, okay? I'm fine.

[chuckles] Maybe I should talk to her.

Go ahead, Wiiskachaan.

[speaking Cree]

[sighs]

Come on. You can help us shovel fish guts over the side.

It's called chum, Jordy. It's chum.

What do you think chum is, huh?

What do you think it is, Kat?

It's fish guts.

I know you're just doing this for the glory,

the money, or whatever,

but...

I appreciate it.

Glory?

[chuckles]

If it was glory I was after,

I would have grabbed that hunk of squid you hacked off

and run back to NORA as quickly as I could.

Well, why you here then?

Dan, can you pass me a paper towel, please?

[Jordy] Hey, Kat, where did you go?

Coming, Jordy. I swear, if you don't shut up,

I'm gonna make chum out of you.

[chuckles]

Hey, take over, will you?

I gotta hit the head.

[beeping]

Freya to Wiiskachaan.

Go ahead, Freya.

Maybe we should close ranks.

If we concentrate our bait,we'll have a better chance at--

[beeping]

Of what, Freya?

Just hold on, skipper. We got something here.

[beeping continues]

Whatever it is, it's big, and it's coming in fast.

About 15 knots off the starboard bow. What have you got?

Approaching vessel, this is the Freya. Please respond.

There shouldn't be any boats on the water.

Approaching vessel, this is the Freya.

I am with the Wiiskachaan. Please come back.

What is that?

[beeping intensifies]

It's no boat.

We need to get closer to the Wiiskachaan to synch up our nets.

Wiiskachaan, we're coming closer.

Jordy, make sure those nets are ready.

[speaking Cree]

[speaking Cree]

Whoa!

What happened?

[metallic clankig]

Oh! What does that mean?

[grunts] We're dead in the water.

Well, can we do something?

[beeping intensifies]

We got eight seconds.

Wiiskachaan, we've lost power. You better get out of here.

[whimpering]

Two seconds.

[beeping intensifies]

[beeping stops] It's under us.

[panting]

[beeping resumes]

It's headed for the Wiiskachaan.

Spider, over there.

Fire! Fire!

It's right on top of them.

Wiiskachaan, check the starboard bow and get out of there now!

[grunts]

Oh, my God!

[grunts]

Will, answer me!

Shoot! Shoot!

[yelling]

Will!

[grunts]

[grunting]

[yelling]

[yelling, grunting continue]

Help me! Hang on! Hang on!

[yelling]

Jack!

[yelling] It's got me!

[yelling]

Jack!

[grunts]

Ryan!

[glass shatters]

[yelling]

Don't let me go!

I got you. I got you.

[screaming, yelling]

[screaming, yelling continue]

Come on. Come on.

[growls]

[yells]

[crying] [crash]

[Man screaming]

They're gone.

[beeping]

We're next.

We're all gonna die out here.

[beeping continues] It's coming right for us.

He said it himself,this thing's bigger than a bus.

Harpoons won't do anything. You heard what it did to the other boat!

Calm down, Jordy. But it's gonna kill us, man!

It's just gonna pick us off one by one!

Jordy!

Got a plan B?

Got any electrical wire?

Could rig something up.

Do it.

All right. Great. Attach both wires to this harpoon,

but wait till we cut the electricity first.

Gunnar, can you get that engine up and running?

I don't know. We have to.

Jordy, grab that spot, run to the stern.

If you see anything, yell.It's about to get dark out here.

All right. This is the charge-- through this cable,

from the engine battery and my generator.

Got to build up enough amps to fry that thing.

All right. Get ready! We're shutting down!

This really sucks!

[grunts] Got a knife?

You ready for this?

Are you?

You can't kill what you can't see.

How's it looking?

I think it's the fuel pump.

Can you fix it? Yeah.

There!

It's coming!

[cocks rifle]

Dan, how we doing over there? Not yet!

It's not ready yet!

[yells]

[grunting]

[gunshots]

Oh!

[grunting]

[grunting continues]

Spider!

Spider, look out!

[yelling]

Dan! Dan, hurry!

Dan!

[yelling]

Spider!

[screaming]

Spider!

[screaming]

[engine starts] Got it!

Great.

All right.Take these jumper cables, attachthem to the battery terminals.

[grunts]

[screaming] Oh, God!

God, no!

[yelling] Help me!

[yelling]

[screaming] Help me!

[yelling]

[screaming]

Gunnar, look at me.

When the needle gets to red, throw the switch. [beeping]

[screaming]

Dan! Dan!

Wait for my cue, 'cause we only get one shot at this. All right.

Dan! Dan!

There.

[both grunting]

[beeping continues]

Nearly there!

Not yet, Gunnar! Not yet! Wait!

[beeping intensifies]

It's ready!

It's gonna blow!

Dan! Dan, it's ready!

It's ready!

[grunting] [yells]

It's gonna blow!

[both grunting]

Gunnar, now!

[yells] [screeches]

[water bubbling]

[crying]

Spider?

Jordy?

Gunnar?

Gunnar, wait.

[yells] Kat!

[coughing]

You okay? [gasping]

I think so. [panting]

Thank you. I got you.

I got you. [coughing]

[sighs]

Harbormaster, this is Freya. Come in.

Go ahead, Gunnar.

We're motoring into harbor.

We lost the Wiiskachaan.

Hey, Zack, do me a favor, would you?

Call Jen, let her know I'm okay.

Copy that.

Hey, Zack?

Tell her I love her, would you?

Tell her yourself, Gunnar.

[sighs]

So, what's next for you, Officer Tomas?

Um, I haven't really given it much thought.

What about you, Dr. Leland? What's next for you?

I have absolutely no idea.

Of course, I was-- Although, I was-- I'm sorry.

It's okay. You go ahead.

No, no, no. You go first.

No, really. No, I-- I insist.

Oh, you insist?
