Piranha II: The Spawning (1981) - full transcript

What's the matter, honey?

Is it me?

Oh, of course it isn't.

I don't know.

In a boat like this,
it's uncomfortable.

Okay, the boat's uncomfortable,
the beach was too sandy,

the air in the room
was too conditioned...

I bet it's the
water in the hotel.

They should let you
know you can't drink it.

Hang up a sign or something.

You're trying too
hard, that's all.



Yeah, I need to relax more.

We can relax more later.

Now, let's do what
we came out here for.

Well, you're sure that
it's not dangerous?

It's just wonderful.

You won't believe it.

Hmm.

Hi, Ron.

Did you catch a fish? Sort of.

It's going to be
a nice afternoon.

Super Sunday
afternoon happening.

Of course, 2:30 begins
the whole extravaganza...

ANNOUNCER 2;
Saturday, August 4th,

it's the annual
Englewood sidewalk sale,



and you're invited.

Mark your calendar and
make your plans early.

Call all your friends.

This sale will be over
before you know it...

I suppose you think
that's hysterically funny.

No, it's Ocyurus chrysurus.

Since you obviously
bothered to look it up,

I won't rip your lips off.

Um...

oop!

Oh!

Oh, Chris, get that
thing out of my bed!

Okay.

I'm try...

I'm trying.

I'm trying.

Come on, now, stop
it. Get it out of this bed.

Hi.

Good morning, sir.

Really? What's good about it?

It's another sunny day.

No shit.

Uh, about these eggs,

they're not as
scrambled as I like.

That's because they're
for Ms. Kimbrough

in room 23.

This here is yours.

Scrambled.

You know, man,
I can't figure out

why I came to a small
island for my vacation.

I mean, I live on
a small island.

Oh, really? Which one?

Manhattan.

Good morning, Christopher.

Who is it, Chris?

Breakfast, Mom.

Thank you.

Give me a break.

What time is it?

Five after 8:00.

Going to be late again.

It's unreal.

This guy always comes

when you're just
getting out of the shower.

What are you, my chaperon?

No, I'd rather you
looked upon me

more as a spiritual advisor.

Anyway, you wouldn't
have guys hitting on you

if you were still with Dad.

Yeah, well, I'm not.

Why don't we live in a
house like normal humans?

Because there's no room service.

No, really, Mom,
this hotel is the pits.

Well, it won't be for long.

If they want to give
me this suite for free

while I'm working here,

might as well take
advantage of it.

It's the only way I can
save money right now.

Remember that job I got

crewing on some rich
guy's boat for five days?

Well, we leave this morning.

That's this morning?

Mm-hm.

I don't know, Chris.

I told you I was
going to think about it.

Oh yeah. Well,
everything's okay.

No, everything is not okay.

We discussed that.

I don't know this guy
or anything about him.

Oh, come on.

I mean, you said we
needed to save money.

Look, I don't like this
any more than you do.

Sailing around these
islands is a tough buck,

all that grueling
sun and wind...

I'd much rather stay at home

and experiment with
fabrics and colors

and things.

Oh, things might
be a lot different

if there were a father
figure around the house.

Okay, okay, Chris.

A hotel...

Chris, you are a weird boy.

You may also be an imposter.

My real son is much
younger and shorter.

Mom, why don't you
just, you know, stand up?

I am standing.

Dr. Bell, there's some mail
for you at the front desk.

Thank you very much.

Enjoy your breakfast. I am.

Doctor?

Cindy, it's him. He's the one.

Beverly, you've
got to be kidding.

You know who I have
my eyes on, don't you?

The lifeguard.

Will you look at
him? He's stunning.

I've got to have him.

Come on, Beverly, that lox?

Why are you so superficial?

He's a doctor.

Morning, Mr. Benotti, Myrna.

I hope you're enjoying
your honeymoon

here at Club Elysium.

We certainly are.

Oh, I'm so happy.

Well, let's have breakfast.

But, honey, you know
I'm not very hungry.

We should eat, honey.

It's included in the
price of the room.

Say, I love those shorts.

Good morning, Mrs. Wilson.

Mm... a little tight at the top.

Down kind of early this morning,

are you?

Well, at my age,
every moment counts.

Um...

Say, Ronnie, uh...

You wouldn't care
for a casual encounter,

no complications?

I could show you a thing or two

that would put these young girls

to shame.

I bet you could.

You know what the doctor
said killed my last husband?

No, ma'am.

Excitement!

You want to lose that boat?

I told you

the next time I caught
you dynamite fishing,

I'd throw your
sorry ass in jail,

and I meant it.

And let you rot!

Nobody will care.

They won't even give a damn.

They won't even notice,

and I'll impound this boat too.

You sorry son of a bitch.

I like the smell of this fuse.

Think fast.

Son of a bitch!

We've done it.

I suppose

you'll be cooking
some of these tonight.

By the boatyard.

I guess I'll have to come by.

That means we get
to keep the boat?

Boat?

You call this a boat?

Steve and Anne and
I go back a long time.

Permission to come
aboard, Mr. Dumont?

Oh, it's you.

You're late,

and by the way,

you may call me "captain."

Here, why don't you
secure this halyard?

You mean the jib sheet, sir?

Yes, this thing right here.

No problem, Mr... Uh, captain.

Now, here's the rest
of our motley crew.

This is my daughter, Allison.

Allison, this is Mr. Kimbrough.

Hi.

Now, first, I want
you to clean out

the head and the bilge and
the storage compartments,

and then I want you to
swab down the decks,

box up the hatches,

and when you're
through with that,

I want all these
fittings polished.

Uh, my pleasure, captain.

Yes. Now, as soon
as all of that's done,

we'll hoist sail and take off.

Uh, sir, shouldn't we
motor past the reef first?

Well, of course.

"Hoist sail" is just
an expression.

Our lives are in your hands.

Whoa.

Make sure you don't
put that on our tab.

Do it.

We're waiting.

Help! Help!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help, oh...

It's all right.

I promise you, I promise you,

I promise you you'll
be... you'll be fine.

Okay.

It's okay. You're safe.

Better safe than dead!
You saved my life.

My pleasure.

Oh, it hurts.

Can I take a look?

Yeah, please. No,
it's the other one.

Maybe we should
get you a doctor.

Aren't you a doctor?

No.

You're not a doctor?

No, but I'm a dentist.

You're a dentist?

Dr. Leo Bell, D.D.S.,
at your service!

Hi. I'm Beverly.

All right, then.

Is everyone clear
on today's activities?

The volleyball tournament
on the beach at 2:00,

the Mr. Muscle
contest at 4:30...

I'm judging...

And the new reggae band at 8:00,

which means they
might arrive by 9:00,

so try to keep the guests happy.

Oh, and tomorrow night,

don't forget the Annual
Fish Fry Beach Festival.

Oh, and Anne, I'd like
you to give your speech

about the spawning,

like you do every year.

We have some new
people with us today.

Perhaps you'd like to explain
something about the spawning

for their benefit.

Well, it's an excuse
to get drunk and rowdy,

basically.

This sweet little
fish called a grunion

swims up out of the
ocean onto the beach

for a moment of privacy
for his mating ritual,

and human beings swoop
down on him, scoop him up,

and fry him for dinner.

But how do you know
it's tomorrow night?

It's always the first full
moon after the spring equinox.

Oh...

but how do the fish know?

We'd better put something
on. We're heading into port.

Aye, aye, captain.

Listen to this, Loretta.

Log of the Circe, day 26.

It's been 18 days
since we ran out

of our carefully rationed
supply of money.

Traveling from island
to island to island,

we must live by our wits,

raiding the small
ports for provisions

and trusting in our
swift and sturdy craft

for escape.

We are sea bandits,
taking what we want,

giving no quarter
and asking none.

I think we can
continue indefinitely

until Daddy catches up with us

and takes the boat back.

Not bad for a Yankee.

We've made landfall
at Elysium, just in time.

Shall we take a shot at it?

Aye, aye, captain.

Okay.

Hey!

I want to talk to one of you.

You. Come down here.

What's the matter?

I've been keeping to the right.

It's okay. I'll take care of it.

I tried to reach you.

I tried to get ahold of you.

Your radio was turned off.

You know better than that.

I know.

You scared the shit out of...

You scared Dumont very badly.

I have to call him captain.

Can you believe that?

Tell Captain Dumont
to keep the radio on

because of the storms and
the weather. You know that.

Let me ask you something.
Where are you going?

Uh, just around the cays

south of Buck Island.

Dad, can we go fishing
when we get back?

Marlin fishing?

Oh...

you catch one 800-pound marlin,

you've caught 'em all!

Fishing when we get back?

Please?

Boring.

She's pretty nice.

Who?

Oh.

Ah, well...

She's cute, huh?

She's okay.

What's the matter?

Nothing, nothing.

Okay, let's go.

What did he want?

He thought you were a smuggler

and wanted to
strip-search the boat,

but don't worry.

I talked him out of it.

Hey, Annie.

How have you been?

Okay. You know.

How about you?

Same. Routine.

Putting on a little weight?

I don't know. Maybe.

I have to go

or I'm going to
be late for class.

Wait a second.

Do you recognize that dinghy?

Yeah.

It's an orange and blue caravel.

Do you know who it belongs to?

Do you think I sneak
down here at night

to memorize boats?

Don't they pay you to do that?

I found it tied to
the channel marker

out by the Fitzgerald wreck,

and I thought that
since they pay you

to take boatloads of
innocent tourists out there

for their drowning
lessons, that...

Drowning lessons?

T-throwing a p-party?

You scared me half to death.

I think I have to
c-call the manager.

Oh, don't do that.

W-why not?

I'm starving.

C-come on,

I saw you and your friend
pull in on that great rig.

No, listen, we're
really in a jam.

We ran out of food, and
all our money was stolen.

Really?

Yeah, really. Listen,
we'll make it up to you.

What's your name?

Mal.

Mal.

Look, Mal, why don't you
come by the boat later on?

We'll have a nice dinner,

we'll cruise around
the bay for a while,

maybe get a little stoned.

You know what I mean?

I'm sure that Loretta and I
can keep you entertained.

And... and this is dinner?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Listen, Loretta's hip.

She trusts my judgment in men.

Mal...

have you ever
made it with two girls?

It's a date!

Good.

We're docked up at the
point. Is 6:00 all right?

Only, l-let me bring the dinner.

I-I'm an amateur chef.

I'll m-make something
really special,

okay?

Got to go.

See you later, alligator.

All right, today's
dive will take us down

to the wreck of the
Dwight Fitzgerald.

It was a navy supply ship

that went down a
couple of months ago.

As a matter of fact,

we just received
permission to dive there,

although we're not
allowed to go inside.

You've got to be kidding.

Our first big dive,

and we can't even
go inside at all?

No, absolutely not.

Don't worry. There'll
be plenty to see.

We're going to swim
all the way around,

and there are already
hundreds of varieties of fish

that are using
the boat as a reef.

Boring!

Hey, come here.

Did you go to asshole school

or something?

Okay.

Are there any questions?

All right, everybody,
get your equipment,

masks, fins, snorkels only.

The tanks and regulators
are onboard the boat.

Let's get wet!

I have a question for you.

Yes?

It seems like you were a
good diver when you got here.

How come you took the class?

Mainly, I was bored,

and, uh, I heard

that it was part of
the package deal.

Also, I heard the
instructor was very cute.

Thank you.

Do you dive on the first date?

Steve...

We've got a deader
down on the docks.

They just brought him up.

Drowned?

I'm not sure.

Steve, it's one of
your wife's students.

Oh, man, you've
got to be kidding me.

Let's go.

Drink that.

Are you all right?

Can I ask you a few
questions? Do you feel up to it?

Okay.

Alone, please.

Do you know the
name of the deceased?

Yeah. Uh, Robert Hayward.

Hayward.

Was he enrolled in
one of your diving tours?

Yes.

And this incident took place

on one of your regularly
scheduled dives?

Yes.

Did you see what happened?

He just swam away
from the rest of the group.

He was only out of
sight for a second or two.

Did you see a shark at any time?

No, but it wasn't that.

A school of barracuda?

No, but...

A moray eel?

Steven, would you
listen for a minute?

It wasn't a shark and
it wasn't a barracuda

and it wasn't a moray eel
and it wasn't a jealous lover.

Then what was it?

I don't know! That's the point.

I'm pretty damn familiar

with the marine
life in this area,

and I don't know!

Come on, man, why
don't you give her a break?

She's had a hell of
a shock. She's upset.

Who's this? What's his name?

Sherman. Tyler Sherman.

Steven, I've got to
get a look at the body.

I only saw it for a
moment, under the water.

That's out of the question.
That's the coroner's job.

Steven, I was
responsible for that boy.

That's my job.

I have to know what happened.

That's right, you
were responsible,

and that's precisely why

you can't touch the body,

because it may
be used in evidence

in a case of negligence.

You are still the most
pig-headed person

I've ever met.

That may be true,

but I'm in charge
of this investigation,

and if I need any
information, I'll ask you.

What do you think?

If I had a little
spiffy outfit like that,

maybe I could be
in charge, too, huh?

Do you know that robot?

Yes. He's my husband.

And here he is.

You will not believe
how weird this guy is.

The word from here

is that he hasn't
been laid in 10 years.

Wait till you see him.
You'll laugh yourself sick.

He doesn't look
so bad from here.

Hi. H-here I come.

That's what he thinks.

Wait till you see what I m-made.

I can't wait.

Should I j-jump on board now?

Yeah, but pass me the box first.

O-okay.

Okay.

Now, untie the rope.

O-okay.

B-boy, is this going to be fun.

Hand it over here.

Okay.

And don't forget the other one.

Here.

Okay.

Now, jump!

Oh, it's...

it's a little too f-far away.

Can you b-bring
it a little closer?

Come on. It's just
a couple of feet.

Oh, okay, wait.

Watch this.

Here I come.

So long, asshole!

Hey, are you awake?

Hey.

Of course!

I just wanted to tell you

I'm really glad
you came with us.

So am I.

The way your father drives,

you'd probably
hit a reef by now.

That's not what I meant.

I'm sorry.

It's just such a drag

my daddy made us
go to bed so early.

Well, why does he make
you go to bed so early?

I think he's just trying
to be cool with you.

You see, it took him
a whole bottle of wine

to get to sleep.

Need a guide? Works
incredibly cheap.

Hi, Tyler. No thanks.

How about dinner?

If you're going
for a restaurant,

that's the wrong direction.

I'm not.

That's all right.

We can just stroll and talk.

Tyler, can you give me a break?

I really would like
to be by myself.

I don't want to talk
to anybody, okay?

You need to talk to somebody,

and, uh, why not me?

I am your best friend.

I just met you five days ago.

And all that time

I thought we had
this incredible rapport.

Okay. Will you do me a favor?

Sure. Anything.

Leave me alone.

Except that.

Come on, let me
just buy you one drink,

all right?

Okay, tomorrow, you
can buy me a drink.

Tomorrow, two drinks.

Does that make you feel better?

Nope.

Anne...

How are we supposed
to have a love affair

if you keep walking
away from me?

What do you want?

I just want to spend
a little time with you,

that's all.

I don't care where you're
going or what you're doing.

I'd just like to be
with you. Okay?

Okay.

Great.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Follow me.

Yeah, man.

It's kind of dark in here.

You did say that you wanted
to be with me, didn't you?

Yeah.

You, uh, you come here often?

Hey, this is the morgue.

Very good.

Yeah, I'm kind of a
perceptive sort of guy.

Oh, no,

we're not going to be
breaking in here, are we?

Oh, Jesus, we're breaking in.

Don't leave home without it.

Anne, what the hell

are we doing in
this place, anyway?

I'm trying to get a
good look at the body

before the coroner gets to it.

Boy, you are one
fun chick, you know?

Where do you think they put him?

We're going to have
to pull him out of here

to take the pictures.

Oh, come on.

Help me.

Take this. I'll get my camera.

Your method is
pretty scientific, lady.

I studied marine biology
before I met Steve.

Now, don't try anything funny.

Nothing funny.

Mrs. Kimbrough, what
are you doing in here?

Well...

Just came to pay
our last respects.

Last respects, my ass.

You know, nobody's
got any respect anymore,

not even for the dead.

You know, I almost
lost my job the other day

letting in this other guy

because he said he
was the bereaved.

Then I catch him
having a Halloween party.

Well, that sure as hell
isn't going to happen again.

No Halloween party.

We were just on our way out.

You're damn right you were.

Oh, shit, the bike.

Keep going, keep
going, keep going.

Come busting in as
if it's a playground.

No damn respect.

Isn't that right, love?

Oh, hell!

Oh, jeez.

It's tremendous jaw pressure.

It sheared cleanly
through bone in places.

Have you got any
wine in the house?

Huh-uh. Only Coke,
if there's any left.

You know,

I don't know anything
that could do that.

Well, maybe it's a
new kind of species.

You know, something
that never existed before.

Like a mutant strain
or genetic engineering?

Yeah, I guess. Is
anybody doing stuff to fish?

The army was,

but that was several years ago.

They developed
a sort of killer fish

to screw up the
rivers in Vietnam.

Apocalypse 2.

And 3 and 4.

They escaped from the tank

and killed a lot of civilians.

Maybe it's the same fish.

No, they were experimenting
with a freshwater fish,

something from
the piranha family,

I think.

Serassalmus... whatever it
was, it couldn't live in the ocean.

Piranha?

Well, they changed it
a little, made it nastier.

What the hell have
you been reading?

National Enquirer?

No. We get the news here, too.

Besides, you're the one who
brought up the new species.

Yeah, but that was just a joke.

Oh, Christ.

I'm sorry.

I know I've been lousy company,

but I just can't stop
thinking about it.

I know. I understand.

It could have been
you, or even worse, me!

I'm glad it wasn't you.

Yeah, me too.

Well, thanks for
dinner, the show.

It was terrific.

We should do it again.

Tyler...

Would you... stay?

Just to be here?

We wouldn't have to
make love or anything.

Make love?

Anne,

that was the furthest
thing from my mind.

Oh?

Boy, these guys...

they buy you dinner and
they think they own you!

Yeah, but that was still
a pretty mean thing to do.

It was not.

Oh, but he was...
he was so cute.

You'd think a snake was cute.

Whoops, I always miss that.

Listen, I'm going below
to clean up the mess.

Okay.

Loretta, what was that?

I don't know.

Well, go look up front.

Yeah.

I don't see a thing.

Okay.

Loretta!

Loretta!

Oh, Jesus, Loretta!

Loretta!

Loretta!

Try to grab on!

Annie, are you here?

That's your husband.

I tried to gnaw my arm off,
but there just wasn't time.

You came here to talk, talk!

You see this?

Yes, I see it.

Where did I find it?

All right, I was there,

and I have an answer,
if you care to listen.

I'm listening.

The army has an
experimental strain of fish.

Fish?

You see what's on this? Blood!

I found the nurse at the
morgue with her throat torn out...

on dry land.

I've got another girl
lying right next to her

in the same condition.

This is my conclusion.

I've got three
bodies on my hands,

and my wife was the last
one to see two of them alive.

There's nothing
left to talk about.

Stay the hell out of this.

I don't want any more of
your cockamamie ideas.

I want you to go home
and sit on your hands,

and the next time,
lock your door!

You know, you
really ought to learn

how to release those
pent-up feelings.

You know, I've got to tell you,

my ears popped a little
from that vacuum you left

when you ran after Steve.

I have a few things to do.

There's some food
in the refrigerator

if you care to have
some breakfast.

Terrific.

I'm canceling the dive tour
today, Raoul, and tomorrow,

and as long as necessary.

Anne, I'm booked
solid on the dives.

People like the
dives. They like you.

You're sticking a
red-hot poker up my ass

by canceling now.

It's my advice for you
to stop all water activities

until we find out
what's going on!

Look, you're just upset.

No boating, no
jetskiing, no windsurfing...

You're being ridiculous.

Or swimming or anything!

Anne, you're fired.

What?

Unemployed,

as of now.

Oh, and I could use your suite,

so please vacate
by tomorrow morning.

It's Tyler. I'm still
here on Elysium.

That attack yesterday,
I'm pretty sure that it...

Well, now, what
else could it be, huh?

Listen to me for a second.

I ran into a woman here

who's starting to put
the pieces together.

I think she could be
pretty helpful to us.

Yeah, I know that!

Very risky. I realize that.

But if she's the one
that blows the whistle,

we don't have to put
our asses on the line.

Do you understand?

Look, just relax. It's
going to be okay, huh?

I'll take care of it.

I'm going to go get a specimen
and get right back to you.

Bye.

Did you see them? Did
you see all those fish?

One of them came so
close I could have touched it.

Scared the shit out of me.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I've got to get my camera

and get back down
there before it gets dark.

I don't think
they like the light.

Anne... Anne!

You can't go down.

I have to.

If I can get a
picture, that's proof.

You don't know anything
about those things.

They're not the same piranha
you talked about last night.

They're more vicious than
anything you can imagine.

What the hell are
you talking about?

Four canisters of
fertile piranha eggs

sank right there.

Three were found.

How do you know that?

I worked on the project
for about two years.

I'm a biochemist.

You knew?

No, I didn't know. I suspected.

That's why I
came to this island.

You knew, and you didn't
say a goddamn word!

I couldn't say anything.
It's all classified!

Oh, classified bullshit!

Now, you tell me what you know

about those things.

I can't do that.

Well, fine. I'm going.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Just sit down for
one second, okay?

All right, I'll tell you
everything I know.

Now, my ass could
end up in jail for this,

but I'll tell you.

We spliced in genes
from different species

to create the ultimate
killer organism...

Grunions who could
live out of water,

Dactylopteridae,

the common flying fish
you see in the bay here,

who it could live
in all environments.

Do you understand?

My God...

We've got to tell
somebody right now,

and you have to come
with me to convince them.

I can't do that.

I'm not even
supposed to be here.

Tyler, people are dead!

You've got to go and tell them

what you know now!

Listen, I've got to
get more information,

and then I can
fill out my report,

and I can submit it to
the proper authorities.

The people on this island

are not qualified
to handle this!

It's got to go through
the proper channels.

Fuck the proper channels.

Either you help me now or
get the hell out of my way.

Turn your radio on, you jackass.

Six! Channel six!

Hello?

Are you Dumont?

Yes, this is he.

What have I done?

Let me speak to Chris Kimbrough.

They're both gone.

They must have taken the dinghy.

Chris and my daughter!

How long ago?

I don't know. I was sleeping.

Dumont, listen to
me very carefully.

I'm only going to
say this once, slowly.

I want you to stay put.

When they come back,

I want you to call
me on channel six.

Do yourself a favor.

Find my daughter,

and when you do,
let me know at once.

Okay, honey, this
one's for the den.

Great.

Okay, let's see... All right.

Great. That's for
the girls in the office.

Hey, Ralph.

Oh, come on, Myrna.

This one's for your mother!

Okay.

Great.

I do hope you're coming
to our fish fry tonight.

It's really something special.

Well, is it included
in our package?

We're on the modified "B" plan.

Well, of course, of course.

The music, the hors d'oeuvres,
and the first drink are free,

and dinner is a
gift from the sea.

Sounds great.

Oh, you might want
to have a snack.

Things don't really
start happening

until after midnight.

Oh, honey, I just know we're
going to have a great time!

More pictures now.

Do I have to?

Mm-hm.

All right.

This is all we
caught last night...

and the net's like this...

but this is what I
wanted to show you.

They must be getting damn
hungry to eat each other like this.

Please, Raoul.

I'm not just being hysterical.

I'm trying the best
way I know how

to convince you that
these things exist.

I've seen them.

Piranha?

I told you what
Tyler Sherman said,

what they are, where
they come from.

According to him, they can fly.

I wonder what has triggered
this paranoid delusion.

Really,

I'm... I'm quite
concerned for your health,

Anne, dear,

you've been
breathing too much air

from those musty tanks.

Look, the things are here,
and they've killed people.

You have, you both have,

a responsibility.

Of course.

Let's be quite
practical, shall we?

I can't cut all my
beach activities.

Fiscally,

I would be cutting my nuts off.

Kimbrough, please,
you're a reasonable man.

Perhaps you can explain to her

how this island
survives financially.

As usual, Raoul,
you're full of shit.

The bastards fly.

That's it.

If you'll excuse me,

I've got business
to attend to...

back on Earth.

Bitch.

Aah!

Aah!

Hey, come back here!

I'm going to maroon you!

Well, I'm going to
black and blue you!

Well, part of that sounds great!

Oh, you wretch.

Hop in.

Did you locate Chris?

No.

I know he's in the cays
south of Buck Island.

You've got to...

Relax.

Aaron, take her
back to the hotel.

If anything happens, anything,

I want you to close
the place down,

even if it's at gunpoint.

I've heard this twice, Steve.

It's under control.

Why can't we close
down the hotel now?

I'll tell you why.

I called the Defense Department

about your friend,
Tyler Sherman,

and after a lot of
bureaucratic bullshit,

I finally got ahold of a colonel
that admitted he existed.

It seems he was fired

from this unnamed
government project,

that he was unstable,

that anything he
said was nonsense.

They said do absolutely
nothing. Nothing.

They'd send a team in tomorrow.

Oh, well, that sounds
real convincing.

They're contradicting
themselves.

Tyler Sherman came down
here because he was frightened.

He wanted to warn people.

That's what he was using me for.

I knew there was something
I didn't like about him.

We'll talk about him later.

Right now,

I'm more concerned about Chris.

Anne, you know
how I feel about Chris.

I'm not coming back without him.

Hey, Kimbrough.

Listen, everyone.

I just want to remind you

that no one is
allowed on the beach

early.

We'll scare them off

if we don't wait until
they're all ashore.

One person can
spoil it for everyone,

so I really must insist.

Aaron? Come in, Aaron. Over.

This is Aaron.

Anything?

No, nothing. How about you?

It's okay so far.

Stand by this channel. Out.

Open up, sugar.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Wilson.

Is there something
I can do for you?

You bet.

You can help me kill this
Mumm's and eat these oysters.

You'd better watch out.

They're an aphrodisiac.

What is it, honey?

Hi, Mrs. Wilson.

Oh, anything wrong?

Uh, no.

I guess I have the
wrong room number.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye-bye, Mrs. Wilson.

And no one knows what forces
bring them to these beaches

year after year

to find a mate

and spawn in the
dark of the night.

Sorry I'm late.

I know why you're late.

What a waste.

I don't think so.

And remember,

whoever catches the most
fish wins a two-day trip!

Air search to unit
one. Come in. Over.

Steve, this is Anne.

Did you find Chris yet? Over.

Not yet.

I'm going to refuel
at Buck Island

and stay out for a while.

Okay. Everything's calm here.

Good luck. Over and out.

Aaron, this is Anne. Come in.

Aaron, come in!

Wonderful.

You're great. You're
my dream come true.

Hiya, lady.

There's only one way

for a fat guy to be first
when running for the beach...

Cheat!

Light the torches.

Don't burn me, eh?

Now, we must call to the
fish in the traditional style,

to lure them from the sea
with the ancient rhythm.

All right, we must
have total silence.

They killed my son.

I'm going to kill them fish.

I'm going to kill
them in the wreck!

No, Gabby, please, no.

You'll never get
down to the wreck.

Can you hear the sound?

Everybody ready?

Let's go get 'em!

We want fish!

We want fish! We want fish!

We want fish! We want fish!

We want fish! We
want fish! We want fish!

We want fish! We
want fish! We want fish!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

If I didn't have so
much to drink tonight,

I'd swear I was seeing things.

Allison, wake up. Wake up.

We're lost... lost at sea.

How romantic.

Oh, my God. Allison!

Words cannot describe
the trouble we're in.

I was expecting Gabby.

Gabby's dead.

So are a lot of people.

Have you got the
charges he made?

Yeah.

One's mine.

You don't have to
go. I can handle it.

I might as well. I've
got the damn suit on.

We've got one hour.

What about those
lights over there?

Where?

Those. Right there.

Ooh.

Well, the red one could be
the channel marker by the hotel.

Okay, that's where we're going.

Steve, just be sure
you're clear by 6:30.

These detonators are electronic,
and the time should be accurate.

Anne, don't do this.

All we have to do is
walk away from this

in one piece.

I can take care of myself.

You just find Chris. Over.

Annie, listen to me.

Annie!

Don't answer.

Hey, look. It's Dad!

Here we are!

Dad!

Over here!

Down here! Dad!

Mr. Kimbrough!

He's coming!

Over here!

Chris, can you
drive the dive boat?

All right, son, stay
right where you are.

Baby...

Throw me a rope!

Throw me a line!

Now.

What... Dad, what's going on?

Come on. Move your ass.

Go, go, go, go.

Dad, where's Mom?

Put that on, Chris. Here.

What's going on, Dad?

Go below.

Let me... I can...

Go below!

Annie, Annie, Annie, Annie,

Annie, Annie,
Annie, Annie, Annie...

Kimbrough...

Kimbrough!
