CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
WARNER BROS.

[WHALE CRIES]

HEY, MAX.

HEY, SMILEY.

YOUR MOM'S
LOOKING FOR YOU.

YEAH, WELL, I'M WAITING
FOR MY DAD'S BOAT.

HE RADIOED IN.

THEY'RE STAYING OUT
FOR A FEW MORE DAYS.

NO BIG DEAL.
DID YOU TELL HER?

WHAT WAS I
SUPPOSED TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW.



YOU'RE GETTING
REALLY GOOD AT THAT.

HOLD ON. I HAVE
TO BLOW UP 50 MORE.

TALKED TO YOUR
FATHER TODAY.

I KNOW. HE'S NOT COMING HOME.
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

WELL, YOU KNOW
WHAT ELSE HE SAID?

MAYBE YOU COULD GO
WITH HIM NEXT TIME.

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?

OH, YEAH!

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]

* WELL, YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT, TALKING ABOUT *

* WHOA *

* WHOA, WHOA *

* CHINA GROVE *

[SONG CONTINUES]



HEY, HERE'S YOUR PIZZA.

I DIDN'T ORDER
A PIZZA.

THIS IS THE NOAH, RIGHT?

I GUESS.

THEN YOU ORDERED
A PIZZA. 22.50.

THE PIZZA'S HERE.

I'LL TAKE THAT.

YOU MUST BE DREW,
RIGHT?

WHAT IF I AM?

I'M JESSE. YOU HIRED
ME THROUGH RANDOLPH.

RANDOLPH, YOU'RE
MISSING THE PIZZA.

SO THAT'S YOUR SECRET.

YOU HIRE YOUR CREW
THROUGH THE PIZZA FACTORY.

I'M NOT FROM
THE PIZZA FACTORY.

I'M YOUR NEW
RESEARCH ASSISTANT.

[WHISTLES]

Drew: WHAT DID YOU
SAY YOUR NAME WAS?

JESSE.

ARE YOU SURE
YOUR NAME'S NOT WILLY?

WILLY'S A WHALE.

[MAN LAUGHS]

RANDOLPH,
TELL HER WHO I AM.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS KID
BEFORE IN MY LIFE.

GOOD PIZZA.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME
HE WAS SO YOUNG.

HE'S NOT SO YOUNG.

WAIT A MINUTE!

LISTEN, I'LL DO
ANYTHING.

I MEAN, I'M JUST
HERE TO LEARN.

I'LL DO WHATEVER
YOU TELL ME.

OH, WE'RE GOING TO
GET ALONG JUST FINE, THEN.

WHAT DID YOU SAY
YOUR NAME WAS?

JESSE.

OK, JESSE. HELP ME
GET THIS GEAR DOWN BELOW.

ALL RIGHT.

Drew: THE ORCA POPULATION

HAS DECLINED 10%
IN THE LAST 2 YEARS

AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY.

WE'RE GOING TO TAG
EACH POD OF ORCA

WITH ONE OF THESE.

WE'LL BE ABLE
TO TRACK OUR WHALES

ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET
24 HOURS A DAY.

THEN MAYBE WE'LL
BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THEM.

WHAT DO YOU GUYS
THINK IT IS?

COULD BE ENVIRONMENTAL
FACTORS, A VIRUS,

MAYBE EVEN OLD AGE.

MAYBE.

FOR ALL WE KNOW,

IT COULD BE SOMETHING
PERFECTLY NATURAL.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO FIND OUT.

THERE'S MY SWEETHEART.

HEY!

HEY.

HEY, DAD.

YOU READY
TO CATCH SOME FISH?

YOU BET.

LET'S GET TO BED.

WE'LL LEAVE FIRST THING
IN THE MORNING.

[SIGHS] OK.

HEY, KIDDO.

HI.

HERE YOU GO.

Mother:
THIS IS IT, HUH?

YEP.

SO HAVE FUN.
OK.

BE CAREFUL AND
LISTEN TO YOUR DAD.

ALL RIGHT.

Father: WE WON'T BE TOO LONG.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

I'LL MISS YOU.

I'LL MISS YOU, TOO.

CAPTAIN.

DON'T LET HIM
SCARE YOU, MAX.

OK.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE
WHEN YOU GROW UP, KID?

YOUR BOSS.

[MAN LAUGHS]

THAT WAS
MY DAD'S KNIFE.

BE YOURS SOMEDAY.

WHEN?

WHEN YOU'VE EARNED IT.

I WANT YOU TO HAVE IT,
AND YOU WILL...

WHEN YOU'RE READY.

WILL YOU SHOW ME
HOW TO USE IT?

I'LL SHOW YOU
EVERYTHING I KNOW.

Mother: BYE, GUYS!

BYE!

HAVE FUN!

Max: BYE, MOM!

[PLAYS HARMONICA]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MAKING A CALL.

[KEYBOARD SOUNDS
LIKE HARMONICA]

WILLY LIKES MY
HARMONICA PLAYING.

WHEN HE HEARS IT,
HE KNOWS IT'S ME.

SO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GOING TO PLAY THAT SOUND

OVER THE HYDROPHONE...

AND HE'S JUST GOING
TO COME RUNNING...

UH-HUH.
FROM MILES AWAY.

YEAH.

OK.

[BEEP BEEP]

I'M CHANGING
THE HARMONICA SOUND

TO FIT WILLY'S EAR.

HE HAS MUCH BETTER HEARING
THAN WE DO AND CAN HEAR...

MUCH HIGHER SOUNDS
LIKE A DOG.

YES, I KNOW.
I WENT TO SCHOOL.

I'M PITCHING THE SOUND
SO HIGH

THAT WE CAN'T
HEAR IT, BUT HE CAN.

THEN WE CAN MAKE IT
AS LOUD AS WE WANT.

IF WILLY'S IN
A 30-MILE RADIUS,

HE'LL BE ABLE
TO HEAR US.

[STATIC]

SORT OF A WILLY PAGER.

PRETTY COOL, HUH?

YOU THOUGHT THIS UP
ALL BY YOURSELF?

UH-HUH.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

I THINK THAT'S AN AWFULLY
PERSONAL QUESTION.

[WHALE SINGING]

CAN I LISTEN?

HERE.

[WHALE SINGS]

COME ON. 2...3.

I HAVE
REALLY GOOD AIM.

WITH WHAT?

EXTERMINATOR,
ALIEN INVASION,

SEA CREATURE,
WILD WEST, BUG HOUSE.

HE PROBABLY WOULD
BE A GOOD SHOT.

SHARP SHOOTER,

BITE THE BULLET,
FOOD FIGHT.

YOU'RE NOT KIDDING.
THE KID'S BEEN DOING

TARGET PRACTICE
HIS WHOLE LIFE.

GUNS OF DEATH,

BOOGER TOSS,

SKULL CRUSHING
BOOTS OF GLORY,

POOPER-SCOOPER.

[RADIO STATIC]

DAD, LOOK!

I SEE THEM.

HERE WE GO!

MAX, HERE, HOLD THIS.

WHAT DO I DO?

JUST HELP ME RELOAD.

GIVE IT TO ME
WHEN I TELL YOU.

I'M READY.

Man: NOW?

NOT YET.

NOT YET.

[WHALE CRIES]

Man: YOU GOT IT!

PULL AROUND.

WE'LL CUT THE BUOY.

ADJUST TO PORT,
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

TAKE UP THE SLACK
ON THAT LINE.

OK, CAST OFF!

EASY!

GET ME
THE SPEAR GUN NOW!

GET THE LINE.

EDDIE,
GET THE HARPOON LINE.

NOW!

[CRIES]

READY.

DAD.

I SEE HIM, MAX.

GOOD WORK. PORT!

STAND BY.

HE'S COMING RIGHT AT US.

HARD STARBOARD!

HOLD ON!

AAH!

Man: MAN OVERBOARD!

Woman: * WILLY *

* WILLY *

* WILLY *

* WILLY *

* WILLY *

* WILLY *

* WILLY *

Father: MAX!

COME ON, SWIM!

COME ON.

SCARED THE CRAP
OUT OF ME.

SORRY.

OK. LET'S GO BELOW AND
GET YOU SOME DRY CLOTHES.

OK.

TAKE CARE OF THE FISH.

Drew: ANY LUCK?

NOT YET.

YOU--YOU WANT
TO TRY THESE?

THEY'RE
A LOT BETTER.

ALL RIGHT.
SURE, THANKS.

OH, YEAH.
THESE ARE BETTER.

THESE ARE GREAT.

OH, YEAH.

SEE ANYTHING?

NO. JUST BIRDS.

THINGS LIKE THAT.
HMM.

OH, IT'S A LITTLE TRADITION
WE HAVE, KID.

IT'S CALLED
A GROUP PHOTOGRAPH.

NOW EVERYBODY
GET IN CLOSE.

[CLICK]

WELCOME ABOARD, KID.

I LIKE IT, JESSE.
BRINGS OUT YOUR EYES.

Man: YOU LOOK
LIKE A RACCOON!

FIRST DAY, MAX, HUH?

CONGRATULATIONS.

I DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING.

WELL, ON THIS BOAT,
WE ALL DO THE WORK,

WE ALL SHARE
THE CREDIT.

Max: OH.

HERE.

THAT'S A TOOTH OF
A SPERM WHALE, MAX.

SOUVENIR OF
OUR LAST TRIP.

YOU'RE ONE OF US NOW,
KIDDO.

Father: WHAT
DO YOU SAY, MAX?

THANKS.

[TIRE SQUEAKS]

[WILLY SINGS]

[SQUEAKING]

OH.

AAH!

AAH!

[WILLY SINGS]

[SINGS]

GO AWAY.

GO ON. LEAVE.
GO OVER THERE.

COME ON. GO ON.
GET OUT OF HERE.

THEY'LL SEE YOU.

THEY'LL KILL YOU.

[SINGS]

GO ON. GET OUT!

GO OVER THERE.

[SINGS]

HI.

HI. DID YOU
HEAR THAT?

WHAT?

LISTEN.

WHAT?

THEY MAKE
THIS SOUND--PHEW!

SOUND OF THEIR BLOWHOLE.
I THOUGHT I HEARD IT.

I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.

GET ME MY SPEAR GUN.

QUIETLY NOW. GO.

HURRY, MAX. I SEE HIM!

OOH!

MAX!

THERE, SEE IT!

SHOOT!

SAY, WHERE IS IT?

DID YOU GET HIM?

DAD?

Man: HE'S GONE.

YOU CUT YOUR SHIN.

OH.

LET'S GET THAT
TAKEN CARE OF.

DO I NEED STITCHES?

I DON'T THINK SO, MAX.

SORRY I SCREWED UP.

OH, YOU'LL BE OK
ONCE YOU GET YOUR FIRST.

MY FIRST?

YOUR FIRST KILL.

THAT'S WHAT MISTAKES
ARE FOR--

TO LEARN.

YOU MIGHT EVEN GET
A LITTLE SCAR HERE

IF YOU'RE LUCKY.

HOW'D YOU KNOW
THE WHALE WAS THERE?

WELL, YOU GET
A SENSE.

YOU'LL GET IT, TOO,
AFTER AWHILE.

NEVER TAKE YOUR EYE
OFF THE BALL, MAX.

IF YOU DO,
THE SEA WILL GET YOU

OR THE WHALE WILL.

THE WHALE WILL?

DON'T YOU WORRY.
WE'LL GET HIM FIRST.

I PROMISE.

Jesse: RANDOLPH?

HUH?

THANKS.

FOR WHAT?

FOR TALKING BEN AND ANNIE
INTO LETTING ME GO.

I PROMISED THEM I'D
KEEP YOU OUT OF TROUBLE.

AND THEY BELIEVED YOU?

[LAUGHS]

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

HEY, YOU GOT SOMETHING?

SOMETHING.

I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE GRID.

ARE YOU SURE THIS THING'S
WORKING RIGHT?

[SNORING]

[THUD]

HEY, BOY, WHAT
TOOK YOU SO LONG?

HEY.

[SINGS]

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT'S THE MATTER,
WILLY?

SOMETHING'S HAPPENED.

COME ON, BOY.

COME ON!

SOMETHING'S WRONG
WITH HIM.

[WILLY CRIES]

Man: COME AND TAKE
A LISTEN TO THIS--

A SIGNAL I RECORDED
THE OTHER NIGHT.

I WANTED TO HEAR

WHAT IT WOULD
SOUND LIKE TO US.

I BROUGHT IT DOWN

A COUPLE
HUNDRED OCTAVES.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT.

[SQUEALING]

THAT'S NO ANIMAL
I'VE EVER HEARD.

IT'S NOT AN ANIMAL.

YOU'RE SURE OF THAT?

MMM, IT'S
JUST A LOOP--

PLAYS OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.

A LOOP OF WHAT?

WHAT'S THE MATTER, BOY?

IS THAT A HARPOON?

IT'S A SPEAR
FROM A SPEAR GUN.

[GRINDER BUZZES]

WHAT'S THIS?

THAT'S JUST A TOOL
OF THE TRADE WE USE,

TO KEEP IT AFLOAT
UNTIL YOU'RE READY

TO BRING IT
ON BOARD DOWN HERE.

WHAT HAPPENS OVER HERE?

THAT'S WHERE
WE HARVEST THE MEAT,

THEN WE PACKAGE IT.

AND FREEZE
FOR SHIPPING.

[DOOR SLAMS SHUT]

WHO DO YOU SELL IT TO?

NORWAY,
RUSSIA, JAPAN.

THERE'S A BIG
UNDERGROUND MARKET
FOR WHALE MEAT.

UNDERGROUND?

YOU MEAN ILLEGAL.

IT'S $200 A POUND,
KID.

Father:
THERE YOU ARE.

IT'S A GOOD TIME
TO LEARN THE HARPOON.

MEANS A LOT TO ME, MAX,
YOU BEING HERE.

ME, TOO, DAD.

GET UP TO THE BOW THERE.

[CRIES]

[CRIES]

[SINGS]

WAY TO GO, JESSE.

THANKS.

WHO'S THAT?
WHO?

WITH WILLY. THEY LOOK LIKE
THEY KNOW EACH OTHER.

THAT'S NICKY.

IS THAT A BOY NICKY
OR A GIRL NICKY?

HE'S A GIRL.

ALL RIGHT, WILLY.

COME ON, BOY.

[CLICK]

Drew: LOOKS LIKE
THEY'VE GOT

BETTER THINGS TO DO.

I THINK I CAN
GET THEIR ATTENTION.

NICKY AND I SPENT SOME TIME
TOGETHER IN PUGET SOUND.

WE'RE OLD FRIENDS.

ONE DAY, I DROPPED
MY LUNCH INTO THE WATER,

NICKY ATE IT.

ALSO, SHE LIKES
TO PLAY WITH HER FOOD.

THERE YOU GO.

Randolph: ENOUGH FOOLING AROUND.
COME HERE, GIRL.

Jesse: OK, WILLY,
TAG TIME.

NOW I'LL ALWAYS
BE ABLE TO FIND YOU.

Jesse: WHAT'S
THE MATTER?

I'M NOT SURE.

IS SHE SICK?

Randolph: EITHER NICKY
HAS 2 HEARTS OR--

OR SHE'S GOING
TO HAVE A BABY.

YOU'RE GOING
TO BE A MAMA, GIRL!

ALL RIGHT, WILLY.

[RADIO STATIC]

CAN I BE LOOKOUT?

CAPTAIN'S KID.

YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.

YOU SEE ANYTHING,
KID?

NOT A THING.

[WHALES SING]

KUJIRA!

WHAT'S KUJIRA?

SOUND THE HORN.

[HONK]

YOU READY, MAX?

OK.

LET'S GO FISHING.

I'VE GOT THE SPEAR.

Father: AIM RIGHT THROUGH
THE CROSS HAIRS

DOWN THE END OF
THE CANNON BARREL.

LIKE THIS?

REMEMBER, AIM

WHERE THE TARGET'S
GOING TO BE,

NOT WHERE IT'S AT,
MAX.

IF YOU AIM AT
THE TARGET,

YOU'RE GUARANTEED
TO MISS.

READY?

WAIT.

WAIT.

NO!

HAND ME
THE NEXT ONE.

I GOT IT.

Father: NO, MAX.
LET SANDERSON DO IT.

KEEP STILL!
KEEP STILL!

HURRY UP!

DON'T MOVE.
DROP IT!

JUST GIVE IT TO ME.

STEP ASIDE!

DAD, A SHIP!

CAPTAIN!

GET BELOW, KID.
MOVE, MOVE!

COME ON. PICK IT UP!

Jesse: IS THAT
A WHALING SHIP?

NO HARPOON.

THAT'S THEM,
RANDOLPH.

THAT'S GOT
TO BE THEM.

WILLY WOULDN'T DO THAT
UNLESS IT WAS THEM.

YOU HAVE TO CALL THIS IN.

KID, THERE'S NOTHING
TO CALL IN.

YOU SAW IT YOURSELF.
WILLY WENT AFTER THAT BOAT.

HE WAS DEFENDING HIMSELF.
THEY ATTACKED HIM.

AND YOU KNOW THAT
FOR A FACT?

Jesse:
IT'S OBVIOUS.

IF YOU'D OPEN UP
YOUR EYES...

SIR.

BOTANY BAY CHECKS OUT.

IT'S A REGISTERED
SALMON BOAT.

ITS CAPTAIN,
JOHN WESLEY,

IS LICENSED, AND
HIS RECORD IS CLEAN.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
IF THEY WERE WHALERS,

THEY'D HAVE A BIG
NEON SIGN SAYING,

"ARREST ME,
I KILL WHALES." HELLO?

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME
TO CALL MARINE PATROL

AND TELL THEM
THAT A WHALE TOLD US

THERE ARE WHALERS OUT HERE?

YOU COULD HEAR THEIR LAUGHTER
WITHOUT USING YOUR RADIO.

STEVENS,
SET COURSE FOR PORT.

YES, SIR.

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.

THEY'RE WHALE KILLERS,
AND YOU'RE LETTING THEM GO.

WE'RE DUE
IN PORT,

AND PORT IS WHERE
WE'RE GOING.

Randolph:
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE?

EXCUSE ME?

FOR YOU
TO MAKE THE CALL.

PROOF! YOU SHOW ME
SOME PROOF,

I'LL BE HAPPY
TO CALL IT IN.

Jesse:
THAT GUY'S A JERK.

YOU'RE RIGHT
HE'S A JERK.

YOU JUST
NOTICED THIS?

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO TELL ME

HE'S JUST DOING HIS JOB.

WELL, HE IS JUST
DOING HIS JOB.

THE WHALERS ARE JUST
DOING THEIR JOBS.

WE'RE JUST GOING
TO FOLLOW ORDERS

AND DO NOTHING
TO STOP THEM.

IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM.

YOU KEEP THIS UP,

YOU'RE GOING
TO GET ME FIRED.

IF WE CAN'T
FOLLOW THE WHALES,

MAYBE WE CAN GET THEM
TO FOLLOW US.

THEN WE CAN KEEP
AN EYE ON THEM.

WE CAN'T KEEP AN EYE
ON THEM ALL THE TIME.

TODAY OR NEXT YEAR,

THESE MONSTERS
WILL FIND THEM.

AND WE WON'T BE THERE
TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

IT'S COMING
FROM THAT BOAT.

WHAT IS?

THAT SOUND THAT DIDN'T
QUITE SOUND LIKE A WHALE.

WHAT THE HELL IS IT?

I CAN TELL YOU THIS--

EVERY TIME WE FIND WHALES,
THAT BOAT'S NOT FAR BEHIND.

AND THERE'S
THAT SIGNAL AGAIN.

THEY PLAY THE SIGNAL,
AND THE WHALES COME.

YOU HAVE IT
ON TAPE, RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

SO WE COULD BROADCAST
THIS OURSELVES

IF WE WANTED TO,
COULDN'T WE?

MM-HMM. WE'D HAVE TO GO
INTO PORT FOR A FEW PARTS.

IF THEY CAN DO IT,
SO CAN WE.

YOU DO WHAT
YOU HAVE TO DO

TO MAKE THAT
THING BROADCAST,

AND WE CAN
MAKE THE WHALES

COME RIGHT TO US.

[SIGHS]

WHAT'S KUJIRA?

WHERE'D YOU
PICK THAT UP?

SANDERSON. THAT'S WHAT
HE CALLED THEM.

IT'S A KIND OF SUSHI.

IT'S A USE
FOR KILLER WHALES, MAX.

WE HARVEST THE MEAT

AND SELL IT
TO THE JAPANESE TO EAT.

OH.

WHAT?

YOU KNOW WHAT
YOUR GRANDFATHER

WOULD SAY
ABOUT THAT?

WHAT?

"IS THAT
GOD'S WORK, SON,

SUSHI FOR
THE JAPANESE?"

I DON'T GET IT.

GOD'S WORK.

THAT'S WHAT DAD SAID
WHALING WAS

BECAUSE FOR HUNDREDS
OF YEARS,

THE WHALES THEY KILLED
MADE OIL

THAT FILLED THE LAMPS
THAT LIT THE WORLD.

WHALERS MADE LIGHT.

IT WAS WORK THAT
MEANT SOMETHING THEN.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN NOW?

IT MEANS YOU
HAVE A RIGHT

TO BE
WHAT YOU ARE...

TO MAKE A LIVING.

THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS.

[HONK HONK]

[KEYBOARD KEYS CLICK]

[HONK]

Man: HANG ON TO IT!

HI. WHAT CAN I GET YOU?

UH, 2 CUPS
OF COFFEE, PLEASE.

SURE.

NO SALE. COASTAL
MARINE PATROL

DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
A POSSIBLE WHALING I.D.

THEY SAY CALL
WHEN YOU HAVE--

PROOF. I KNOW.

WHAT DO THEY
CALL PROOF?

Randolph: SHORT
OF ACTUALLY

CATCHING
THEM RED-HANDED,

I HAVE NO IDEA.

CAN I GET YOU
ANYTHING ELSE?

Randolph: THAT'LL
BE ALL, THANK YOU.

WE HAVE TO GET
ON BOARD.

THEN WE GET THE PROOF
THAT WE NEED.

ON BOARD
THE BOTANY BAY?

A WHALER SHIP

FULL OF WHALES.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

I'M GOING TO CHECK OUT
SOME LOCAL FISH MERCHANTS,

POKE AROUND,

SEE IF I COME UP
WITH ANY HARD EVIDENCE.

MAYBE YOU
HAVEN'T NOTICED--

WE STICK OUT LIKE
SORE THUMBS AROUND HERE.

THAT'S ALMOST AS DANGEROUS
AS SNEAKING ON THEIR BOAT.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO THE SHIP.

I AM?

I'VE ALREADY ASKED DREW

TO FIND SOMETHING
TO KEEP YOU BUSY.

RANDOLPH, BUT--

I PROMISED BEN
AND ANNIE, REMEMBER?

NOW GET GOING.
DREW'S EXPECTING YOU.

NOPE.

PERFECT. GREAT.

HI.

YOU WORK
ON THE BOAT?

SURE.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

MAX. WHAT'S YOURS?

RANDOLPH.

SO WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WELL, I'M LOOKING
FOR WORK.

DOING WHAT?

I'VE DONE HERRING,
MACKEREL, SALMON,

ORCA.

WHAT'S ORCA?

WELL, IT'S
A TYPE OF WHALE.

OH.

I DON'T LIKE THEM,
THOUGH.

THEY STINK.

WELL, UM,
I KIND OF LIKE THEM.

HI, DAD.

WHO'S YOUR FRIEND, MAX?

HIS NAME
IS RANDOLPH.

HOW YOU DOING?

Max: HE'S LOOKING
FOR WORK.

YEAH.

WE'RE ALL CREWED UP.

OK.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW
YOUR FRIEND OUT, MAX?

HE'S NOT REALLY
MY FRIEND.

I'M GOING TO GO
SEE MOM NOW.

SURE.

SEE YOU AROUND.

HEY!

I SEE YOU GOT EDDIE
WORKING THE HOSE.

HOW YOU DOING?

Father: JUST SIGN
ON THE LINE.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

[BEEP BEEP]

HEY, MAX!

I GOT TO GO.

WHAT'S YOUR DAD
REALLY FISHING FOR?

MY DAD'S
A SALMON BOAT CAPTAIN.

OH.

YEAH, WELL, HE IS.

I LIED TO YOU.

BIG WHOOP.

[SIGHS]

I'M NOT A WHALER.

SO WHAT?

WELL, I'M SORT OF
THE OPPOSITE.

YOU'RE A WHALE?

NO, BUT I'M TRYING
TO PROTECT THEM.

[SIGHS]

WHAT HE'S DOING'S WRONG,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

WHO?

YOUR DAD.

MY DAD'S
A SALMON BOAT CAPTAIN.

WHY DO YOU CARE, ANYWAY?

IF ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS
WAS IN TROUBLE,

WOULDN'T YOU TRY
TO HELP THEM?

IF I COULD.

MY FRIENDS ARE WHALES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SURE YOU DO.

[SIGHS]
I'LL SHOW YOU.

WHAT?

THE WHALES.
I'LL INTRODUCE YOU.

WHOA!

COME HERE.

THAT GAMEBOY TELLS YOU
WHERE WHALES ARE?

NOT ALL, JUST ONE.

Jesse: LISTEN.

[WHALES SING]

THEY'RE CLOSE.

[WHALES SING]

IT'S QUITE A SOUND,
ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

DO YOU KNOW AN ORCA
IS MOSTLY WATER?

SURE.

BUT DID YOU KNOW
THAT WHEN HE SINGS,

YOU CAN FEEL
THE BEAT OF HIS SONG

IN TIME
WITH THE WAVES.

[WHALES SING]

WHY DO THEY DO THAT?

I SAY IT'S BECAUSE
THEY'RE GOOD MUSICIANS,

BUT A FRIEND OF MINE
THINKS DIFFERENTLY.

HE SAYS THE WHOLE EARTH
IS BREATHING.

AND THAT THEIR SONG
IS THE EARTH BREATHING.

[BIRD SQUAWKS]

Jesse:
THERE THEY ARE.

CAN I LOOK?
YEAH. HERE.

THANKS.

OH, YEAH.

[SQUEAK]

[WHALES SING]

Max: WHOA!

WHOA!
WHOA!

HEY, BOY.

WHERE'D HE GO?

[SINGING]

HE LIKES TO PLAY GAMES.

WHAT GAMES
DOES HE KNOW?

[THUD]

FETCH. FETCH BY FAR
HIS FAVORITE.

WHAT DOES HE FETCH?

YOU'LL SEE.

Max: WHAT?

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM

TAKE TO ANYONE
LIKE THAT BEFORE...

EXCEPT ONCE.

I THOUGHT MAYBE HE WAS
LIKE THAT WITH EVERYONE.

NO. HE'S ONLY LIKE
THAT WITH FAMILY.

WELL, I'M NOT HIS FAMILY.

TELL HIM THAT.

IS THIS YOUR JOB?

YEAH.

DO YOU LIKE IT?

OH, YEAH.

I DIDN'T KNOW PEOPLE
HAD JOBS LIKE THAT.

NEITHER DID I.

HEY, TURN IN THERE.

ME AND MY DAD BUILT
THIS PORCH LAST SUMMER.

OH, YEAH?

IT'S A BIG FAMILY.

Max: YEAH.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO HAVE
A BIG FAMILY LIKE THIS?

OH, JUST LIKE ANY
FAMILY, YOU KNOW?

NO, I DON'T.

THIS ISN'T RIGHT.

WHAT?

EVEN THOUGH HE'S DOING
SOMETHING WRONG,

HE'S STILL YOUR DAD.

YOU DROPPED THIS.

I DON'T WANT IT.

STOP HIM MYSELF.

[DOOR CLOSES]

JESSE?

JESSE?

[STATIC]

JESSE?

[WHISPERING]
Randolph?

WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M GETTING THE PROOF
WE NEED.

WHERE ARE YOU?

IF I TELL YOU,

YOU GOTTA PROMISE
NOT TO BE MAD AT ME.

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHAT THEY'LL DO TO YOU

IF THEY CATCH YOU?

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
GOING TO DO TO WILLY

IF THEY CATCH HIM?

NOW I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT YOU
THAN I AM ABOUT WILLY.

LISTEN. WESLEY'S
STILL AT THE BAR.

KEEP HIM THERE.

I DON'T WANT THIS BOAT
LEAVING WITH ME ON IT.

JESSE--

SORRY, GOTTA GO!

JESSE?

[VIDEO GAME BEEPS]

MOM?

YES, MAX.

WHAT DO YOU DO
IF SOMEBODY'S

MAKING YOU DO SOMETHING
THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO?

WHO?

OH, JUST SOMEONE.

YOU SHOULD NEVER LET OTHER
PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.

YOU HAVE TO STICK UP
FOR YOURSELF.

YOU DO WHAT
YOU THINK IS RIGHT.

DO YOU ALWAYS
DO WHAT'S RIGHT,

EVEN IF IT HURTS?

THAT'S THE HARDEST PART.

YOU SHOULD DO IT
EVEN IF IT HURTS.

IS THAT WHAT
YOU DO, MOM?

I TRY MY BEST.

UHH! ALL RIGHT!

BED.

NO.

BED.
NO.

WE'LL TAKE 2
OF THE TALL ONES.

THANKS A LOT.

[MAN LAUGHING]

PUT THAT AWAY.

YOU SHOULD GO GET
THE CAPTAIN.

TAKE YOUR TIME

AND GET A GOOD NIGHT'S
SLEEP TONIGHT.

HE SAYS HE WANTS TO LEAVE
AS SOON AS WE'RE READY.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

OOH!

[CLATTERING]

UHH!

DON'T WORRY.
I'LL GET THOSE.

AAH!

RANDOLPH, I THINK
I FOUND SOMETHING.

JESSE,
GET OUT OF THERE.

I DON'T THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO BE HERE MUCH LONGER.

YOU GOTTA BUY ME
SOME MORE TIME.

Randolph: WHAT DO YOU
EXPECT ME TO DO?

JESSE?

JESSE?

ASK THEM TO DANCE
OR SOMETHING.

THEY'RE NOT MY TYPE.

WISH ME LUCK.

Randolph: GOOD LUCK.

WHAT IF THEY
CATCH HIM?

WHO?

YOUR FATHER?

HE'LL NEVER GET CAUGHT.

WOULD HE HAVE
TO GO TO JAIL?

NO. HONEY, IS THAT
WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT?

HE WOULD NEVER
HAVE TO GO TO JAIL.

THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN?

THEY'D TAKE AWAY
HIS BOAT,

THAT'S ALL.

MAYBE MAKE HIM
PAY A FINE.

PROMISE?

YEAH, I PROMISE.

YOU KNOW YOUR FATHER
LOVES YOU VERY MUCH,

DON'T YOU?

YEAH.

HE DOES WHAT HE DOES
FOR YOU AND ME,

TO MAKE US HAPPY,
PUT A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS.

YEAH, BUT DON'T YOU
EVER WISH--

NO, MAX, I DON'T.

DON'T YOU EVER WISH
HE WOULD STOP?

DON'T YOU EVER WISH

HE WOULD DO
SOMETHING ELSE?

I LOVE YOU, MAX.

YOU COULD TELL HIM.

HE'D LISTEN TO YOU.

I BELIEVE IN YOUR DAD.

I SUPPORT HIM,
FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

GOOD NIGHT, MAX.

[MUFFLED SHOUTING]

EXCUSE ME, MISS.

OK, GUYS, KRON SAYS HE'S GOT
EVERYTHING WIRED UP,

READY TO GO, SO...

CANCEL OUR ORDER.
LET'S GO.

[FEIGNING DRUNKENNESS]
AH, WESLEY! HA HA HA!

JOHN WESLEY!

I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.

DO I KNOW YOU?

RANDOLPH.

Randolph: I REMEMBER YOU
FROM THE OLD DAYS.

I HIT THE JACKPOT.

I DON'T THINK
I REMEMBER YOU

FROM THE OLD DAYS.

OH, WELL.
BUT I REMEMBER YOU.

BOY, DO I REMEMBER YOU.

HA HA HA HA HA!

HA HA HA HA HA!

RANDOLPH,
STOP FOOLING AROUND.

HA HA HA HA HA!

[EVERYONE LAUGHING]

WE'RE ON OUR WAY OUT.

WE'LL CATCH YOU UP
NEXT TIME, FRIEND.

YOU DON'T SEEM
TO UNDERSTAND.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE,
AND I KNOW WHAT YOU DO,

AND I'M NO FRIEND
OF YOURS.

RANDOLPH?

HEY!

[SOUNDS OF FIGHTING]

GREAT.

YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE.

I SUGGEST YOU RIDE OUT
ON THE BOAT YOU CAME IN ON.

THANKS.

DON'T MENTION IT.

THE NATIVES DON'T LOOK
TOO FRIENDLY.

YEAH. LET'S GET A DRINK.

[MEN TALKING]

DINEEN, MAKE SOME COFFEE.

OK.

LET'S GET THE HELL
OUT OF HERE.

YOU GOT MY VOTE.

YES, SIR.

[SPEARS CLANK]

READY.

STANDING BY!

[ENGINE STARTS]

STERN'S AWEIGH!

[ENGINE CLANKING]

AW, GREAT.

[CLICK]

[GASP]

YOU DROPPED THIS.

GIVE ME THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

GETTING IN TROUBLE.

[TURNS ENGINE OFF]

SO WHAT ARE WE
GONNA DO?

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
SWIM BACK TO SHORE.

WE ARE NOT.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

SEE YOU LATER.

HERE'S YOUR PROOF.

I PULLED THIS OUT OF
WILLY'S TAIL 2 DAYS AGO.

THIS I FOUND UNDER THE DECK
OF THE BOTANY BAY.

Randolph:
WE WERE RIGHT.

I SEE.

WE GOTTA STOP THEM.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO.

WE'LL CALL THIS IN
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

WE COULD PUT THESE GUYS
OUT OF BUSINESS,

BUT ONLY IF
WE MOVE RIGHT NOW.

I'M NOT ABOUT TO RISK

$2 MILLION
WORTH OF EQUIPMENT

TO DO
THE MARINE PATROL'S JOB.

THERE ARE RULES THAT
HAVE TO BE FOLLOWED.

NOW, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST SIT DOWN,

AND I'LL GET YOU A SODA.

WE'VE GOT
A VERY BUSY DAY

AHEAD OF US TOMORROW.

NO, THANKS.

I'M A LITTLE TIRED.

I'M GOING TO
CATCH SOME SLEEP.

SUIT YOURSELF.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

THANKS FOR
ALL YOU'VE DONE.

AH, IT WAS NOTHING.

NO KIDDING.

THOSE GUYS
HAVE ALREADY LEFT.

THEY'RE GOING AFTER
THE WHOLE POD TONIGHT--

WILLY, NICKY,
NICKY'S BABY.

CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION?

10 YEARS IN JAIL.

WHAT?

THE PENALTY
FOR "BORROWING" A BOAT

THAT DOESN'T BELONG
TO YOU.

IT'S CALLED PIRACY.

10 YEARS IN JAIL.

DO NOT PASS GO.
DO NOT COLLECT $200.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT WAS A BAD IDEA.

LET'S DO IT.

JESSE?

I'M DOWN IN DRAKE'S ROOM,
LOOKING FOR THE KEY.

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

THE SPARE STARTER KEY.

YOU'RE STEALING
THE BOAT?

AND GOING AFTER
THE WHALERS?

YEAH.

YOU'LL GO TO JAIL.

I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT'S
THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

YOU WORK FOR ME,
RANDOLPH.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT,
DON'T YOU?

I GUESS YOU'LL
HAVE TO FIRE ME.

WHAT IF...

I WERE TO...

ORDER YOU TO READY THIS BOAT
FOR IMMEDIATE DEPARTURE?

IT MEANS
YOU LOSE YOUR JOB.

HEY. THEY TOLD ME
TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOU,

AND THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.

* OH, NELLIE, NELLIE RAE *

* THERE IS TROUBLE
ON THE WAY *

* AS SHE ALWAYS
TREATS HER LOVERS ANYMORE *

[LAUGHING]

STEVENS, WHERE DID
YOU PUT THE BOAT?

I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.

THE WHALES WILL.

OK. THE SIGNAL
WE'VE STOLEN

WILL TAKE OUT
THE WHOLE POD IN A WEEK.

TELL SANDERSON
TO ARM THE HARPOON.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]

[DOOR OPENS]

HI, DAD.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WAS LOOKING
FOR YOU.

I GUESS
I FELL ASLEEP.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

Max:
I HAVE A QUESTION.

HERE, MAX, TAKE THIS

AND SQUEEZE SOME OIL DOWN
IN THE PIVOT JOINT THERE.

WHY IS IT WRONG
TO HURT OTHER PEOPLE?

THAT'S THE RULE, MAX.

IT JUST IS.

BUT...DON'T YOU

EVER WANT TO DO
WHAT YOU WANT,

NO MATTER
WHO IT HURTS?

MAYBE.

YOU JUST DON'T DO IT.

WHY?

WHY WHAT?

WHY DON'T
YOU DO IT?

PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS.

EVEN PEOPLE YOU HATE?

YEP.

I DIDN'T KNOW
I HAD RIGHTS.

WELL, YOU DO.

[SONAR PINGING]

DAD.

YES, MAX.

WHAT IF WHALES
ARE LIKE PEOPLE?

THEY AREN'T.

BUT WHAT IF
THEY ARE?

MAX, WHALES ARE ANIMALS.

THEY WERE PUT HERE
BY GOD FOR US TO HUNT.

YOU DON'T GET UPSET

WHEN YOU EAT
A CHEESEBURGER, DO YOU?

WHY NOT?

WHALES DON'T FEEL.

THEY AREN'T PEOPLE.

THEY'RE JUST FISH.

YOU'RE WRONG.

YOU KNOW BETTER
THAN ME?

YOU'RE 10 YEARS OLD.

BUT YOU'RE WRONG, DAD.

AND I'VE BEEN WRONG
ALL MY LIFE,

AND MY DAD WAS WRONG,
AND HIS DAD, TOO?

WE'RE ALL WRONG,
AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

AND YOU'RE HURTING PEOPLE.

WHO AM I HURTING?
I'M NOT HURTING ANYONE.

CAPTAIN.

WHAT IS IT THIS TIME?

SORRY, CAPTAIN,
BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW.

I FOUND THIS
IN THE ENGINE ROOM.

[DOOR CLOSES AND LOCKS]

"J" POD'S TURNING AROUND.

THEY'RE HEADING RIGHT
FOR THE BOTANY BAY.

WHERE ARE THEY?

[WHALES CALLING]

BY THE SOUND OF IT,

ABOUT 5 KILOMETERS
NORTH-NORTHWEST.

AND CLOSING.

THIS THING
WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

THEY'VE STOLEN YOUR SIGNAL.

WILLY WON'T KNOW
THE DIFFERENCE.

THEY'RE SWIMMING
RIGHT INTO A TRAP.

THINKING IT'S ME.

I CAN'T SEE A THING.

Randolph:
WE'D BETTER HURRY.

SOMETHING JUST
OCCURRED TO ME.

YEAH?

WHEN WE FIND THEM,

WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO?

THERE THEY ARE.

10 O'CLOCK.

LET'S GO.

Randolph: WE'RE TOO LATE.

NO. THEY'RE JUST AROUND
THE POINT.

ALL WE NEED IS A FEW MINUTES
TO CATCH UP.

WE DON'T HAVE
A FEW MINUTES.

OK.

HOLD HER STEADY.

HEY, DAD!

MAX, DON'T YOU DARE!

MAN OVERBOARD!

GO! GO, GO, GO, GO!

HARD APORT!

YES, SIR!

NOW GO ASTERN!

HARD ASTERN!

RANDOLPH, LOOK AT THIS.

BOTANY BAY
IS TURNING AROUND.

THEY'RE DOING
A BIG CIRCLE.

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

MAX.

UHH!

COME ON, MAX.

GRAB THE RING.

SAY YOU'RE WRONG!

COME OUT
OF THE WATER NOW,

OR YOU'LL
FREEZE TO DEATH.

NO!

GRAB IT, MAX!

GRAB THE RING NOW!

GET BELOW.

LET'S GO.

RIGHT.

THERE SHE IS.

BOTANY BAY,
THIS IS THE NOAH.

WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE,

AND WE KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

IF YOU ATTEMPT
TO HARM THESE WHALES...

WHAT NOW?

YOU'LL BE FIRED UPON.

YOU WILL BE
FIRED UPON.

WITH WHAT?

WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO FIRE UPON THEM WITH.

THEY DON'T KNOW THAT.

RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM.

I FIGURED THEY WOULD BE.
HERE, TAKE THE HELM.

WHAT DO I DO?

JUST STEER. IT'S EASY.

READY THE SPEAR GUNS.

RIGHT AWAY!

NOAH, THIS IS
THE BOTANY BAY.

WE'RE FISHING FOR SALMON.

PLEASE STAY CLEAR OF US.

WE CAN'T SEE A THING
IN THIS FOG.

[ENGINES REVVING]

COASTAL MARINE PATROL,

THIS IS THE NOAH,
ON CHANNEL 16.

MAYDAY. MAYDAY.

THERE'S BEEN
A COLLISION.

YOU BETTER LET ME STEER.

AAH!

[VOCALIZING]

[VOCALIZING]

NO.

DAD!

SHOOT IT NOW!

FIRE!
WILLY, STOP!

WILLY, NO!

[SQUEAKING]

[WILLY CRYING]

[WILLY CRYING]

OK.

THERE.

COME ON.

[WILLY SINGING]

HI.

HI.

A CHEESEBURGER
SAVED YOUR LIFE.

YOU WERE RIGHT.

HEY.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE.

WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?

I'M A WHALER.
THAT'S WHAT I AM.

NOT TO ME.

YOU'RE MY DAD.

IT'S NOT WHAT
I WOULD HAVE DONE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I MEAN...SOME GUY
TRIES TO KILL ME,

I WOULDN'T HAVE
SAVED HIS LIFE.

I WOULD HAVE...
BIT HIS BUTT.

WELL, MAYBE HE'S
SMARTER THAN WE ARE.

OR MORE HUMAN.

Jesse: WILLY'S GOING TO MAKE
A GOOD FATHER,

DON'T YOU THINK?

Randolph:
WHEN THE TIME COMES.

Max: HEY, WILLY!

[WILLY SINGING]

[SINGING]

[LAUGHING]

I LIKE IT, DREW.

IT BRINGS OUT YOUR EYES.

WELL, ONE OF THEM,
AT LEAST.

OH, YOU GUYS.

JESSE, LOOK.

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO NAME HIM?

WHAT DO YOU SAY,
JESSE?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

ME?

YEAH.

I SAY WE NAME HIM
AFTER HIS DAD.

Jesse: WELL, I SAY
WE NAME HIM MAX.
