Frankenfish (2004) - full transcript
When the body of a man is found completely destroyed in the swamps in Louisiana, the medical investigator Sam Rivers is assigned to investigate the murder. He travels with the biologist Mary Callahan to the location where the victim lived in a floating house and he meets his family and friends. They find that Chinese snake-heads genetically engineered that belong to a wealthy hunter are attacking and killing the locals. While the group fights to survive, the hunter Jeff arrives with his team to hunt the predators.

WHAT THE...
[gasping]
[yelling]
[gasping]
(Abrams) SOME HUNTERS FOUND
THE BODY ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
NO I.D. PROBABLY BEEN
DEAD A COUPLE OF DAYS.
THESE WOUNDS ARE POST-MORTEM.
BUT SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY...
DEFINITELY CHEWING ON HER
AFTER SHE WAS DUMPED HERE.
HEY, SAM, WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?
I'D SAY WE GOT
OURSELVES A HOMICIDE.
SEE THAT BLOOD?
IT WAS SMEARED ON.
PROBABLY CHICKEN BLOOD.
GREAT. YOU DON'T THINK IT WAS ONE
OF THOSE VOODOO THINGS, DO YOU?
NO, THE CHICKEN BLOOD'S
THERE TO ATTRACT PIGS.
A FEW FERAL RAZORBACKS
COULD GET RID OF A CORPSE
IN LESS THAN A WEEK.
YOU KNOW WHAT KILLED HER?
PROBABLY BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA,
JUDGING BY THE CRANIAL BRUISIN'.
BUT I'LL KNOW MORE AFTER I GET
SOME RESULTS, RUN SOME TESTS.
LET ME GRAB MY KIT.
ABRAMS IS GOING TO HAVE TO
HANDLE THIS ONE ON HIS OWN.
I NEED YOU TO RUN DOWN TO OTLEY.
OTLEY? WHAT FOR?
THEY PULLED WHAT WAS LEFT OF A
BODY OUT OF THE SWAMP DOWN THERE.
IT'S CHEWED UP REAL BAD,
BUT SOMETHIN' AIN'T RIGHT.
THE LOCAL SHERIFF PUT IN A
REQUEST FOR A MEDICAL EXAMINER.
LISTEN, CHIEF, HOW
ABOUT I STAY HERE?
LET'S SEND ABRAMS DOWN,
GRAB A FEW PHOTOS...
FIRST OF ALL, YOU KNOW THOSE SWAMP
RATS WON'T EVEN TALK TO OUTSIDERS.
AND HELL, ABRAMS AIN'T
EVEN FROM THE SOUTH.
YEAH, BUT, CHIEF,
I... I REALLY DON'T...
SECOND OF ALL, YOU'RE THE
EXPERT AT THIS KIND OF THING.
ABRAMS AIN'T.
[police radio chattering]
ALL RIGHT.
[birds chirping]
TELL 'EM I'LL BE THERE BY 8:00.
I ALREADY DID.
[whispering] THANK YOU.
ABRAMS. CALL THE STATE LAB.
SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY PORCINE
CASTS OR X-RAYS ON FILE.
YEAH, SURE.
UH, PORC...
PORCINE. MEANS PIG, EINSTEIN.
(Sam) CALL ME IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
OTLEY.
SHIT.
[door closing]
NOT A PRETTY SIGHT, IS IT?
LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN IN THE
WATER FOR 48 HOURS, GIVE OR TAKE.
THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. HE WAS
MISSIN' FOR A DAY AND A NIGHT.
YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS GUY?
NOT A LOT. NAME'S JOHN
CRANKTON. AGE 57, 165 POUNDS.
DID YOU, UH, PUT A VERDICT
DOWN ON THE CAUSE OF DEATH YET?
MMM-HMM. ALLIGATOR ATTACK.
THEN WHY CALL IN AN M.E.?
BECAUSE THESE DON'T LOOK LIKE ANY
'GATOR BITES I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.
THEY'RE NOT.
ALLIGATOR TEETH ARE TOO SHORT AND
BLUNT TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF DAMAGE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO VISIT THE SCENE.
WHERE'D THEY FIND THE BODY?
WAY OUT IN THE DEEP SWAMP.
YOU GOT A PHONE AROUND HERE?
SURE. RIGHT OUTSIDE.
[trunk lid closing]
(Mary) HELLO, YOU SAM RIVERS?
THAT WOULD BE ME.
YOU THE BIOLOGIST?
MARY CALLAHAN. DEPARTMENT
OF WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.
THANK YOU FOR COMIN' OUT
HERE ON, UH, SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
NO PROBLEM.
[Sam sighing]
SO, YOU READY?
YEAH, LET'S DO IT.
[engine starts]
JUDGING BY THE MAP, WE'VE GOT
ABOUT A 4 OR 5-HOUR RIDE AHEAD OF US.
I'D SAY ABOUT THAT.
WATER?
NO, I'VE GOT SOME COLD ONES
IN THE COOLER, IF YOU WANT.
HELP YOURSELF.
OK. THANKS.
I DIDN'T KNOW MEDICAL
EXAMINERS CARRIED GUNS.
OH, I DON'T USUALLY CARRY ONE,
BUT I DON'T LIKE GOIN' OUT
TO A POTENTIAL CRIME SCENE
WHERE I CAN'T CALL FOR HELP.
WE'VE GOT A RADIO.
WHERE WE'RE GOIN',
NOTHIN' WORKS OUT THERE.
(Mary) YOU SEEM TO KNOW YOUR WAY
AROUND THESE PARTS PRETTY WELL.
YOU GET A LOT OF SWAMP MURDERS?
(Sam) NO. NO, NOT REALLY.
WHEN IT COMES TO KILLIN' PEOPLE,
THE SWAMP DOESN'T NEED ANY HELP.
YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
AT SOME PHOTOS OF THE BODY
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?
YEAH, SURE.
OH, MY GOD.
[Sam chuckling]
(Sam) IS THAT YOUR
PROFESSIONAL OPINION?
IT'S EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT AN
ALLIGATOR COULD HAVE DONE THIS.
SHARK, MAYBE.
YEAH, THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT.
BUT WE'RE A LITTLE TOO FAR UPRIVER
FOR A GREAT WHITE, AREN'T WE?
YEAH, BUT NOT FOR A BULL SHARK.
THEY'RE EXTREMELY
AGGRESSIVE MAN-EATERS.
THAT COULD BE THE
GUY WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR.
HEY, STOP THE BOAT.
THAT'S STRANGE.
THE NOISE FROM THE BOAT
SHOULD HAVE SCARED IT OFF.
THAT 'GATOR DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.
[engine stops]
[fly buzzing]
[frogs croaking]
(Mary) JESUS.
LOOK HOW RAGGED THE STUMP
IS. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS TORN OFF.
YOU THINK A BOAT PROPELLER
COULD HAVE DONE THAT?
NO BOAT THIS BIG COULD HAVE
TRAVELED THAT FAR UP THE BAYOU.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU
THINK HAPPENED, THEN?
PROBABLY SOME REDNECK
POACHER'S IDEA OF A JOKE.
COME ON.
WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
[engine running]
[engine stops]
(Mary) WHAT'S
HAPPENING? IS HE OK?
YEAH. SHH, WATCH.
[birds chirping]
[laughing]
OH, SHE'S A BEAUTY.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
IS IT BITING YOU?
HELL, YEAH.
SOME STRANGE FELLA
STICK HIS HAND IN YOUR HOLE,
WOULDN'T YOU BITE HIM?
[laughing]
THIS IS LIKE THE
DARK SIDE OF HEE HAW.
WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR WHERE
JOHN CRANKTON LIVED.
WHAT Y'ALL WANT WITH OLD JOHN?
JOHN'S DEAD.
YEAH, WE KNOW HE'S DEAD. WE'RE
HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
Y'ALL COPS?
MY NAME'S SAM RIVERS.
I'M A MEDICAL EXAMINER.
THIS IS MARY CALLAHAN, DEPARTMENT
OF WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES.
I GOT ME A LICENSE.
I REALLY DOUBT THEY
ISSUE A LICENSE TO DO THAT.
FISTING A CATFISH?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN.
I WASN'T THERE.
RICARDO BROUGHT HIM BACK. HE WAS
WRAPPED UP IN A TARP OR SOMETHING.
WELL, WE'D LIKE TO
TALK TO RICARDO,
AND ANYONE ELSE WHO
MAY HAVE KNOWN JOHN.
YOU TOW ME UPSTREAM A MILE OR 2.
I'LL INTRODUCE
YOU TO SOME FOLKS.
OK.
GOD, WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE
SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYTHING?
HEY, PARDNER,
PULL UP OVER THERE.
WHOSE HOUSEBOAT IS THAT?
THAT'S MY NIECE AND
HER NAKED HUSBAND.
IT'S ONE THING TO
BE MARRIED TO IT,
BUT TO HAVE TO LOOK
AT IT WHILE YOU'RE EATIN'...
(Sam) AND WHO LIVES IN THOSE?
(Elmer) THAT HOUSE OVER THERE
ON THE LEFT, THAT'S RICARDO'S.
AND THE GREEN ONE,
THAT'S GLORIA'S, JOHN'S WIFE.
OH, ROLAND! BOBBI!
COME ON DOWN HERE. THERE'S
SOME PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MEET YOU.
(Roland) HI, THERE.
THIS MAN'S SORT OF A COP.
HE WANTS TO TALK TO
Y'ALL ABOUT OLD JOHN.
OH, LORD, IT'S AWFUL.
I'VE GOT TO SEE A MAN ABOUT A BAG
OF SQUIRRELS AND A MESS OF FISH.
EITHER OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. CRANKTON?
YOU KNOW, WE FEEL REAL SAD ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN. BUT, I... I...
(Elmer) HEY, RICARDO!
I FEEL REAL BAD ABOUT WHAT'S
GOIN' TO HAPPEN TO THAT GATOR
BECAUSE RICARDO OVER
THERE, HE'S GOING TO GET IT
AND IT AIN'T GOIN' TO BE PRETTY.
NOW, RICARDO, HE'S THE ONE
WHO FOUND THE BODY, RIGHT?
UH-HUH.
HE DOESN'T TALK MUCH.
AND SINCE JOHN DIED...
YEAH, THEY WERE IN
VIETNAM TOGETHER.
(Sam) WE'D LIKE TO TALK
TO MRS. CRANKTON, TOO.
GO AHEAD.
(Bobbi) UH, ELMER
SHOULD INTRODUCE YOU,
BEING THAT HE'S HER
BROTHER-IN-LAW AND ALL.
ELMER, WE'D LIKE
TO TALK TO RICARDO.
RICARDO AIN'T TALKIN' TO NOBODY.
HOW ABOUT GLORIA?
WELL, COME ON, WE'LL SEE.
[knocking on door]
(Eliza) HI, ELMER.
COMMENT CA VA, CHERE?
I'M FINE, AND YOU?
I HATE TO BOTHER YOU, BUT
IS YOUR MAMA IN THE HOUSE?
YEAH, SHE'S IN THERE.
YOU WANT TO COME IN?
[door closing]
ELIZA, YOUR MOTHER WILL
NOT LET ME PACK UP THE SHRINE.
IT MUSTN'T BE MOVED
FROM THIS SPOT.
THEY NEED ITS POWER HERE.
DAN, IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE
THE ALTAR, CAN WE JUST LEAVE IT THERE?
THAT'S FINE, I JUST...
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE POINT
OF COMING ALL THE WAY OUT
HERE TO HELP YOUR MOTHER MOVE
IF SHE DOESN'T ACTUALLY WANT
TO TAKE ANYTHING WITH HER.
THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT JOHN.
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
I KNOW THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT
TIME FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
BUT WE'RE HERE TO
INVESTIGATE THE DEATH
OF YOUR HUSBAND, JOHN CRANKTON.
WE'RE HOPING TO GET A LOOK AT
WHERE JOHN'S BODY WAS FOUND.
YOU'RE ALL THEY SENT?
JUST THE TWO OF YOU?
[snickering]
DAMN FOOL.
MA.
SIT.
THERE'S BEEN A CURSE
PUT ON THIS PLACE LIKE
NONE I'VE EVER SEEN.
IT COME WITH THE
STORM AND THE BOAT,
AND IT'S BEEN
WITH US EVER SINCE.
I'VE TRIED TO
KEEP IT AWAY, BUT...
MY CIRCLE OF PROTECTION
IS SMALL, AND I TOLD JOHN
NOT TO STEP OUTSIDE OF IT.
BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT KILLED JOHN.
BUT I DO KNOW IT'S
NOT FROM THIS SWAMP.
APPARENTLY, AFTER
HURRICANE GARRICK,
THEY FOUND A STRANGE
BOAT A FEW MILES UPSTREAM.
MAMA SAID THAT'S WHEN ALL THE
CRAZY STUFF STARTED TO HAPPEN.
LIKE THE FISH GETTING SCARCE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN IT MYSELF.
THIS BOAT, CAN
YOU SHOW IT TO US?
NO, I... I CAN'T GO THERE.
MY CIRCLE IS WHAT'S
KEEPING THAT THING AWAY.
ELMER CAN TAKE YOU.
OH, CHERE, I'M FISHIN'...
ELMER, I... I WARNED YOU.
[sighing]
I KNOW WHAT YOU THINK:
"THIS CRAZY OLD WITCH."
I NEVER SAID...
I'M GETTIN' OUT OF
HERE. AND ONCE I'M GONE,
THERE WON'T BE NOTHIN' TO
KEEP THAT EVIL THING AWAY.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
YOU STOP IT.
YOU STOP IT NOW,
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DIES.
TAKE THESE WITH YOU.
THANKS.
BYE, CHERE.
HEY, WHAT IS THIS THING?
OH, IT'S JUST SOME
CRAZY OLD VOODOO STUFF.
JUST PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET.
HI.
HI.
HEY, Y'ALL WANT SOME FRUIT?
NO, THANKS.
GUESS NOT, HUH?
GOT NO SHAME, THEM TWO.
THIS PLACE USED TO
HAVE SOME DECENCY.
COME ON, HAVE A BANANA.
HMM.
HERE, BABY.
OH!
NO, I DON'T WANT A BANANA.
[frogs croaking]
WHAT'S A BOAT THAT SIZE
DOING WAY UP IN THE SWAMP?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
(Elmer) NOW, I JUST OFFERED
TO SHOW Y'ALL THE BOAT.
I NEVER SAID NOTHIN'
ABOUT GETTIN' ON.
YOU'VE BEEN ON IT BEFORE?
NO.
HOW LONG HAS THIS
THING BEEN HERE?
ABOUT 3 MONTHS.
AND YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN ABOARD ONCE?
NOT EVEN TO LOOK FOR
SOMETHIN' WORTH TAKIN'?
NO.
DID JOHN CRANKTON GO ABOARD?
NEVER SAID HE DID.
NEVER SAID HE DIDN'T.
HEY, PARDNER.
DON'T STAY TOO LONG.
I DON'T PLAN TO BE
OUT HERE ALL DAY.
YEAH, WE'LL TRY NOT TO KEEP YOU
AWAY FROM YOUR BUSY ROUTINE.
(Sam) I WONDER WHY NO ONE
HAS COME LOOKIN' FOR THIS THING.
THIS BOAT HAD A CHINESE CREW.
NOTHIN'S WORKIN' HERE.
[beeping]
(Sam) LET'S CHECK OUT THE HOLD.
WHAT IS THAT SMELL?
OH, SOMETHING'S ROTTEN.
OOH.
OH, GOD.
[Mary sighing]
[Sam exhaling]
[beeping continues]
FUCK.
[water splashing]
YOU BE CAREFUL.
[flies buzzing]
[camera flash whining]
[camera clicking]
(Sam) OH, MAN.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
[coughs] YEAH. I'M OK.
[beeping]
[camera clicking]
JESUS.
(Sam) DAMN.
(Mary) WHAT?
NOTHING.
[sobbing]
(Sam) YOU OK?
YEAH.
[coughs]
I'M JUST... I'M NOT
USUALLY THIS SQUEAMISH,
BUT THAT SMELL WAS JUST...
WHAT IS THIS?
MY GOD, LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S A FISH SCALE. ONLY I'VE
NEVER SEEN ONE THAT BIG BEFORE.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
NEITHER HAVE I.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
(Elmer) LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
WE'RE COMIN'. SLOW DOWN.
TAKE YOUR TIME. WATCH YOUR HEAD.
STEADY, MISS. STEADY, STEADY.
[yelling]
[chuckling]
(Sam) ELMER, YOU OK?
YEAH. YEAH.
I'M SORRY, ELMER.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MISSY.
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE.
COME ON, ELMER.
[yelling]
[screaming]
[screaming]
[Mary screaming]
[Elmer groaning]
[panting] WHAT THE FUCK?
WHAT WAS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW. BUT WE'RE
GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
UNTIE THE BOAT.
[engine starts]
[engine revving]
[knocking on door]
OH, COME ON IN.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LOOKIN'
IN THE WRONG FUCKIN' PLACE.
[beeping]
FUCKING IDIOTS.
[tires squealing]
[phone ringing]
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
(Anton) IT'S ANTON.
OH.
I'M SORRY, BUTTERCUP.
I'VE GOT TO TAKE THIS.
ANTON.
YOUR MERCHANDISE
HAS BEEN LOCATED.
FANTASTIC. WHERE IS IT?
IT'S ABOUT 50 MILES DOWNRIVER.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED?
WE HAVE NO IDEA.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE CARGO?
DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE STARTIN' TO PISS
ME OFF AGAIN, ANTON.
[snarling]
ALL RIGHT, I'LL HAVE MY
BOYS GET THE BOAT READY.
JEFF, COME ON. NONE... NONE OF YOUR
GREAT WHITE HUNTER BULLSHIT, OK?
LET ME JUST GET SOMEONE IN THERE TO
CHECK IT OUT AND TAKE CARE OF THINGS.
AFTER 3 MONTHS, THE
CHANCES OF THAT CARGO...
YEAH, YOU'RE GODDAMN
STRAIGHT, "AFTER 3 MONTHS."
(Jeff) YOU AND YOUR BOYS
FUCKED IT UP LAST TIME.
SO, I'M GOIN' TO GO
DOWN THERE THIS TIME
AND MAKE SURE IT
DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
EVEN IF THE CARGO SURVIVED
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT BOAT,
THERE'S GATORS AND
OTHER SHIT DOWN THERE...
THERE'S NOT A GODDAMN THING IN
THAT SWAMP THAT CAN TOUCH THEM.
YOU GOT THAT?
YEAH.
SO, STOP BITCHING AND GET YOUR
SKINNY ASS DOWN TO MY DOCK.
[phone beeps]
FUCK.
I'M COMIN' FOR YOU, YOU
BEAUTIFUL MOTHERFUCKERS.
SO, YOU'RE SAYIN' THERE'S A, UH, SWAMP
MONSTER OUT HERE KILLING PEOPLE?
LOOK, THE ONLY THING THAT'S OUT
THERE ARE THINGS THAT BELONG THERE.
LOOK, ARE WE SAFE HERE?
THAT BOAT IS ABOUT 3
MILES AWAY FROM HERE.
(Mary) SINCE THERE HAVEN'T
BEEN ANY ATTACKS DOWN HERE,
IT WAS PROBABLY
JUST TERRITORIAL.
(Roland) YEAH, IF... IF
WE DON'T BOTHER IT,
I-I-IT WON'T BOTHER US.
BOTHER US? IT KILLED MY DAD.
IT JUST KILLED HER UNCLE.
(Sam) LISTEN.
IT'S TOO LATE TO MAKE
IT BACK BEFORE DARK,
AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
TO GO AT NIGHT.
BUT AT FIRST LIGHT,
MARY AND I WILL HEAD BACK AND
GET SOME HELP TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.
WELL,
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
MAMA.
(Dan) YOU KNOW,
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
ANTON.
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
MY PILOT WANTS TO
KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN'.
I'VE GOT IT MAPPED OUT.
WHO'S OUR FRIEND HERE, JEFF?
AND WHAT'S WITH
ALL THE EQUIPMENT?
ANTON, MEET BEN.
HOW ARE YOU?
WE'VE ALREADY BEEN ON A
COUPLE OF HUNTS TOGETHER.
HELL YES, I'VE
KILLED AND TRACKED
JUST ABOUT ANY GODDAMN
THING YOU CAN THINK OF.
[thudding]
THIS AIN'T A FUCKING GAME, JEFF.
YOU'RE GODDAMN
STRAIGHT ABOUT THAT.
IT'S A HUNT.
NOW, COME ON, MAN.
[engine starting]
(Sam) WHAT ARE WE DEALIN' WITH?
WELL, IT'S CLEARLY CARNIVOROUS
WHICH RIGHT THERE NARROWS
IT DOWN TO ABOUT 4 OR 5 FISH
ON THE PLANET.
YEAH, BUT LOOK AT
THE SIZE OF THIS SCALE.
HOW THE HELL DID IT GET SO BIG?
IT'S THE BAYOU.
SWAMP'S A WILD PLACE.
UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THAT, YOU
AIN'T GETTIN' OUT OF HERE ALIVE.
THE... THAT THING THAT KILLED
JOHN THINKS IT'S KING OUT HERE.
BUT IT AIN'T.
I'LL KILL IT. I SWEAR
TO GOD, I WILL.
DINNER'S READY. AND Y'ALL
GOT TO EAT. I MADE GUMBO.
THAT INCLUDES YOU, RICARDO.
ISN'T HE AFRAID OF
WHATEVER IS OUT THERE?
[snickering]
RICARDO AIN'T
SCARED OF ANYTHING.
THERE'S WORSE THINGS THAN DYIN'.
(Gloria) WE ASK YOU TO PROTECT
US FROM THE EVIL THAT LURKS HERE.
AND WE ASK ALSO THAT YOU
TAKE ELMER UPON YOUR WINGS
AND YOU CARRY HIM HOME.
AMEN.
AMEN.
AMEN.
(Sam) AMEN.
HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SAM?
NO. NO, THANKS.
THIS IS EXCELLENT,
GLORIA. THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME, YOUNG MAN.
IT'S... IT'S NICE TO MAKE A BIG
MEAL EVERY NOW AND THEN.
SNAPPIN' TURTLE?
WHY, YES.
(Mary) EXCUSE ME.
[coughs]
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
WH-WHERE DID YOU SAY
YOU WERE FROM AGAIN?
OH, WELL, UM, ACTUALLY I
GREW UP AROUND HERE, IN OTLEY.
YOU DIDN'T HAPPEN TO GO
TO BIENVENU HIGH, DID YOU?
(Sam) YEAH, I DID.
I MOVED TO NEW ORLEANS MIDDLE OF
MY SENIOR YEAR, BUT I WAS CLASS OF '91.
THIS IS CRAZY.
I'M ELIZA DESIRE.
I USED TO POUR GATORADE
AT ALL THE FOOTBALL GAMES.
RIGHT. WELL, OF
COURSE, I REMEMBER.
WELL, YOU SURE MUST
HAVE LOVED FOOTBALL.
YOU NEVER MISSED A PRACTICE.
IS THIS THE BOY
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT?
UH-UH, NO, MOTHER.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER, HIS
NAME WAS SAM SOMETHING
AND HE LEFT TOWN.
SHE HAD A CRUSH
ON THIS ONE BOY IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE ASKED ME TO PUT
MAGIC ON HIM ONCE.
REALLY?
(Gloria) OH, YEAH.
OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT FOR A GIRL THAT AGE.
NOT THAT IT WOULD HAVE
TURNED OUT ANY WORSE, MIND YOU.
OK, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S REALLY NICE.
THAT COMMENT'S
ABOUT ME, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S JUST LOVELY.
[clears throat]
(Eliza) WOULD YOU GUYS
EXCUSE US FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE?
EXCUSE ME.
[door closing]
DAN, YOU'RE BEING RUDE.
YOU'RE A GUEST IN
MY MAMA'S HOUSE...
LOOK, I'M SORRY, OK?
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO
SPEND MY DAY OFF
BOBBING AROUND ON A RAFT
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SWAMP.
(Eliza) I TOLD YOU
WHERE I WAS FROM.
ELIZA, I THOUGHT YOUR MOTHER
LIVED IN A CABIN OFF SOME RIVER.
THIS GUMBO IS
REALLY GOOD, GLORIA.
OH, THANK YOU.
(Eliza) IT WAS NOT!
UM,
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?
DAN, I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
YOU OFFERED IT TO ME.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. I
OFFERED BECAUSE YOU IMPLIED
THAT MY ASSISTANCE WAS ESSENTIAL
IN ORDER FOR OUR DATING
RELATIONSHIP TO PROGRESS.
AND YOU KNEW I HAD A
MOTORBOAT, SWEETHEART.
THE REQUEST WAS
THEREFORE IMPLICIT.
IT WAS NOT.
[dishes rattling]
I SHOULD HAVE NEVER
HOOKED UP WITH A LAWYER.
[door opening]
[door closing]
SHOULD HAVE NEVER
DATED SWAMP-GIRL.
[sighs]
MORE TURTLE SOUP.
[bottles clinking]
OH, YOU KNOW, I COULD
USE ANOTHER BEER.
THANK YOU. THAT'S JUST GREAT.
HEY.
THANKS.
[sighs]
I'M A PARALEGAL IN HIS OFFICE.
WHY DO YOU PUT UP WITH HIM?
BECAUSE I'M A
PARALEGAL IN HIS OFFICE.
WELL, YOU DESERVE SOMEONE
WHO'S NEVER LIKE THAT.
SOMEONE WHO WILL MASSAGE
YOUR FEET AFTER A LONG DAY,
COOK YOU A NICE
DINNER, READ YOU POETRY.
SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY VALUES YOU,
INSTEAD OF SOME JERK WHO
COMES HOME EXPECTING A BLOWJOB.
YEAH, WHERE AM I SUPPOSED
TO FIND A GUY LIKE THAT?
WHO SAYS I'M
TALKING ABOUT A GUY?
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.
MAN OR WOMAN,
YOU STILL END UP SPENDING
THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME
WITH YOUR HEAD STUCK
BETWEEN SOMEONE'S LEGS.
SAM, WHAT YOU DRINKING?
OH, JUST SOME TEA
YOUR MOTHER MADE ME.
IT'S DELICIOUS.
WHAT KIND OF TEA, MA?
(Gloria) JUST AN
OLD FAMILY RECIPE.
OH, MIND YOUR BUSINESS, GIRL.
JUST KEEP ON BICKERING
WITH YOUR WHITE DEVIL THERE.
EXCUSE ME. I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT, YOU KNOW.
THAT'S... THAT'S THE KIND
OF ATTITUDE THAT GOT ME...
WHAT KIND OF TEA, MA?
[water splashing]
WHAT THE HELL?
OH, HONEY, I... I THINK I SEE
SOMETHIN'. SOMETHIN' IN, UH...
I'M JUST GONNA GO, UH...
HEY, BOBBI, GET OUT HERE.
I JUST SAW SOMETHIN'.
ROLAND, WHAT IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST SAW IT.
[screaming]
(Bobbi) OH, MY GOD!
BOBBI, WHAT HAPPENED?
(Bobbi) IT CAME OUT OF
THE WATER AND GOT HIM!
HIS FUCKING HEAD IS MISSING.
(Eliza) BOBBI, WHAT HAPPENED?
SOMETHING CAME OUT OF THE WATER!
(Mary) SAM. OH, SHIT.
IT'S HERE. IT FOLLOWED US BACK.
NO, BOBBI, STAY
AWAY FROM THE EDGE!
WE'LL COME GET YOU!
I CAN'T STAY HERE! (Mary) NO!
NO! NO!
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
[water splashing]
DON'T LET IT TAKE ME!
PLEASE, DON'T LET IT TAKE ME!
HELP!
[screams]
HELP ME!
BOBBI! HELP ME!
DON'T MOVE, BOBBI.
STAY IN THE BOAT.
HELP ME!
[Bobbi sobbing]
[panting]
[creaking]
[Bobbi screaming]
(Sam) OH, GOD.
(Bobbi) HURRY!
(Gloria) SWIM!
(Sam) SWIM, COME ON!
[Bobbi screaming]
(Bobbi) OH, GOD!
[Mary gasping]
COME ON! COME ON!
(Gloria) HURRY!
[gun firing]
SHIT! HURRY UP!
COME ON, BOBBI!
COME ON!
[screaming]
AH, DID YOU SEE
THAT FUCKING THING?
NOW WE KNOW WHAT COULD
DECAPITATE A 12-FOOT ALLIGATOR.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
(Sam) IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
I KNEW...
IF IT'S ANYBODY'S
FAULT, IT'S OURS.
IT MUST HAVE FOLLOWED
US BACK FROM THE WRECK.
(Mary) IT'S NOBODY'S
FAULT. IT'S AN ANIMAL.
IT'S DOING WHAT ANIMALS DO.
IT'S NO MORE EVIL THAN
ANY OTHER PREDATOR.
SHE'S RIGHT. WE'VE GOT
TO GET OFF THE WATER.
DAN, START YOUR BOAT.
IT'S THE BIGGEST AND THE
FASTEST, WE MAY OUTRUN IT.
FUCK YOU, BUDDY. I'M
NOT GETTIN' IN THAT THING.
DID YOU SEE WHAT
IT JUST DID TO BOBBI?
GIVE ME THE KEYS.
OK. FINE.
MARY. ELIZA. GET
READY TO CAST OFF.
AS SOON AS I START THE
ENGINE, EVERYBODY PILE IN.
WHAT ABOUT RICARDO?
HE WON'T GO.
[crashing]
OH, SHIT, MAN! MY FUCKIN' BOAT!
IT'S ATTACKING
EVERYTHING THAT MOVES.
SHH.
EVERYBODY BE QUIET. SHH.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
NO.
[water splashing]
[all screaming]
[all exclaiming]
[water bubbling]
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO KILL IT.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE
GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE.
GLORIA, DO YOU HAVE
ANY SORT OF WEAPON?
DID JOHN HAVE A GUN?
(Gloria) WHA... NO, IT'S GONE.
OH, MAN, WE ARE
FUCKIN' FISH FOOD.
SHUT UP.
BOBBI AND ROLAND'S
HOUSEBOAT, THAT'S FACTORY-MADE.
DOES IT STILL RUN?
UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I... I THINK SO.
[creaking]
(Mary) SAM, YOU'RE
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
THAT WILL NEVER HOLD YOU.
I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER OPTIONS.
WELL, I'M THE SMALLEST ONE,
AND I'M NOT GETTING IN THAT.
I CAN DO IT. I'VE
DONE IT BEFORE.
[scoffs]
WHEN YOU WAS 12 OR 13.
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
YEAH.
[grunting]
ELIZA!
[grunting]
HOLD ON!
[panting]
(Mary) ELIZA!
(Mary) ELIZA, HURRY.
ELIZA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
[panting]
YEAH. YEAH, I'M FINE.
[engine faltering]
COME ON, YOU FUCKER.
OH.
ROLAND, YOU STONER ASSHOLE!
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SHOT IT?
IT SHOULD BE DEAD BY NOW.
OH, REALLY? WELL, IT'S NOT.
THAT WAS IT FOR AMMO.
[clears throat]
UH, LOOKS LIKE ROLAND
WAS WORKING ON THE ENGINE,
BUT HE WAS TOO
STONED TO FINISH IT.
[thumping]
RICARDO, GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE.
[all screaming]
(Sam) GET AWAY FROM
IT, RICARDO! SHOOT IT!
(Mary) OH, MY GOD!
(Sam) PULL THE TRIGGER!
[screams]
JESUS CHRIST.
[screams]
[grunting]
RICARDO?
(Dan) YOU KILLED THAT THING.
(Sam) THAT IS NOT A SHARK.
NO, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
[panting]
[grunts]
(Mary) OH, GOD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT THING ATE BOBBI.
[laughing] THAT'S JUST WRONG.
HEY.
WHAT SMELLS DELICIOUS?
[whooping]
OH, FUCK.
SO, I GUESS WE'RE HAVING
FILLET OF SWAMP MONSTER?
IT KILLED MY BROTHER!
YOU THOUGHT YOU
WERE KING OF THE SWAMP
UNTIL I RIPPED OUT YOUR
HEART, MOTHERFUCKER!
HE'S, UH, HE'S TALKING
TO THE DEAD FISH.
JOHN, THIS IS FOR YOU!
[crashing]
LOOK OUT!
[all screaming]
OH, GOD!
[screaming]
[grunting]
[Mary screaming]
[sobbing]
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?
WHO KNOWS HOW MANY THERE ARE?
IT CAN BREATHE OUT OF THE WATER?
HOW THE FUCK CAN IT DO THAT?
IT MUST HAVE A
VESTIGIAL AIR LUNG.
LIKE CHINESE SNAKEHEADS.
THEY CAN LIVE OUT
OF WATER FOR DAYS.
THEY... THEY'RE VORACIOUS.
THEY TOOK OVER A LAKE IN
MARYLAND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
AND, UH, THE WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES
PEOPLE HAD TO POISON THE WHOLE LAKE.
THEY WERE SCARED...
IT'S A MONSTER! IT'S NOT A FISH!
[crying]
[water gurgling]
[thudding]
FUCK. WHAT'S GOING ON?
(Anton) YOU GOT IT?
(Jeff) YEAH.
DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
LET'S GET ON IT.
[whispering] WHAT'S THAT?
[panting]
FUCKING AMATEURS.
(Anton) NOTHING?
WHAT WE WANT AIN'T HERE.
[sighs]
WHAT ABOUT OUR MULES?
THEY'RE HERE, ALL RIGHT.
BITS AND PIECES OF 'EM, ANYWAY.
[frogs croaking]
THEN WE'RE FUCKED.
SON, IF YOUR PREY WERE THAT
EASY TO FIND, IT WOULDN'T BE HUNTIN'.
IT'D BE SHOPPING.
[chuckling]
(Anton) WHAT THE
FUCK DO WE DO NOW?
[sniffling]
[sobbing]
[screaming]
(Eliza) OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!
ARE YOU OK? ARE YOU OK, ELIZA?
[panting]
(Dan) WHAT THE HELL
ARE WE GOING TO DO?
WAIT. I KNOW HOW WE
CAN GET OUT OF HERE.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS
GET OVER TO RICARDO'S...
[groans]
OH, SHIT!
(Eliza) MARY!
[sobbing]
HUH. THE HOUSE SHOT
HER. THIS IS INSANE!
SHUT UP, DAN. JUST SHUT UP.
SHUT UP!
MAY YOU FIND YOUR WINGS
TO CARRY YOU HOME.
OH, MY GOD.
ELIZA!
WHAT JUST HAPPENED? OH, SHIT.
WHAT DO I DO?
[screaming]
WHAT THE HELL?
(Anton) WHAT WAS THAT?
LET'S GO, BOYS.
(Sam) ELIZA!
MY GOD! IS SHE ALIVE?
SAM!
[water splashing]
SAM! HURRY!
(Dan) COME ON, MAN!
OH, MY GOD.
[groans]
COME THIS WAY.
COME ON, COME ON.
GET THE LADDER! GET
THE LADDER FOR HER.
[screaming]
GET UP ON THE ROOF!
COME ON, GLORIA!
[all screaming]
MAMA!
[crying]
OH, GOD!
OH, GOD.
[screams]
OH, JESUS!
OH GOD!
ELIZA.
ELIZA.
WE NEED TO GET UP ON THE ROOF.
I NEED YOU TO HELP ME. LET'S GO.
OH GOD!
OH, SHIT! OH, SHIT!
OK, THIS IS NOT GOOD.
UM, IT'S ATTACKING THE BOAT!
UH, I... I THINK IT'S
SINKING THE HOUSEBOAT.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!
[crashing]
NO.
OH, GOD!
UM, EXCUSE ME,
BUT I'M FUCKING
SINKING OVER HERE!
JESUS, WE GOT TO GET
OFF THE FUCKING WATER.
OH, REALLY?
[thudding]
OH, GOD!
FUCK ME.
(Eliza) NOW IT'S SINKING IT.
WA-WA-WAIT! WA-WA-WAIT! NO,
NO, NO, WAIT! IT'S REALLY SINKING.
OH MY GOD.
(Sam) JUST HOLD ON, ELIZA.
[boat creaking]
[water bubbling]
(Sam) HEY, CAN YOU
HOLD YOURSELF?
I JUST WANT TO SEE IF I
CAN LOOK INSIDE RICARDO'S...
HE'S GOT TO HAVE
SOMETHING IN THERE.
WHAT? NO, W-W-WHAT
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IT'LL BE OK. JUST
LOOK OUT FOR ME.
JUST LOOK OUT FOR ME.
SAM, DON'T.
NO, NO, NO. I'LL BE OK.
IT'S GONNA KILL YOU, SAM.
TRUST ME. TRUST ME.
WE'RE FUCKING FISH FOOD, MAN!
[glass shattering]
AHHH!
[boat creaking]
(Eliza) SAM.
HERE, I FOUND A FLARE GUN.
[static buzzing]
[motor boat engine approaching]
WHAT? WHAT'S THAT NOISE?
(Sam) IT'S A BOAT!
BOAT.
HELLO!
HEY, HEY, HEY! HELLO!
HEY!
(man) WHAT?
HEY, BE CAREFUL!
(Eliza) YOU GUYS
GOT TO WATCH OUT!
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER!
[crashing]
OH, NO!
FUCK!
HURRY UP!
(Dan) COME ON, SWIM!
COME ON, MAN, SWIM!
(Anton) WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
COME ON!
(Dan) YOU'VE GOT TO SWIM. SWIM.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
[man screaming]
I TRIED TO WARN YOU.
(Dan) GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!
HEY, HEY, HEY. NEVER
GET OUT OF THE BOAT.
[all panting]
NOW TELL ME EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
UH, IT DESTROYED MY MOTORBOAT,
AND IT SANK THESE HOUSEBOATS.
AND THEN IT KILLED...
WELL, KILLED EVERYBODY.
TELL ME, HOW MANY ARE THERE?
(Sam) WE DON'T KNOW.
WE KILLED ONE, BUT
THERE'S AT LEAST ONE MORE.
(Sam) WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?
THEY'RE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED
NORTHERN SNAKEHEADS.
IN CHINA, THEY'RE A DELICACY.
I'M S... THERE'S A WHOLE...
THERE'S A WHOLE PIECE HERE...
DAN, SHUT UP!
YOU TALK TO HIM.
Y'ALL BEEN EATING GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED SALMON FOR YEARS
AND MOST PEOPLE
DON'T EVEN KNOW IT.
SOME OF MY FRIENDS JUST
TOOK IT ONE STEP FURTHER.
THIS IS THE RESULT.
EXPLAIN TO ME, WHY
WOULD YOU DO THAT?
WELL, SON...
I'M NOT YOUR SON.
THERE'S NO THRILL TO COMPARE
WITH HUNTIN' SOMETHIN'
THAT CAN HUNT YOU BACK.
WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY OF CREATIN'
SOMETHIN' THAT'S
NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE,
AND SOMETHIN' THAT'S
NEVER BEEN HUNTED BEFORE,
THAT'S A ONCE-IN-
A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY,
AND I TOOK IT.
THAT'S FUCKING CRAZY.
YO! YO! THERE SHE BLOWS!
YOU HIT IT? YOU HIT IT?
(Jeff) YEAH, I GOT IT.
IT'S GONNA BE OK NOW.
[sighs]
[thudding]
(Anton) LOOK, WE'VE
WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
THE TRANQ SHOULD'VE
TAKEN EFFECT BY NOW.
YOU PUMPED IT WITH ENOUGH
OF THAT SHIT TO DROP A RHINO.
HELL, 2 RHINOS.
DUDE, THEN LET'S GO.
10 MORE MINUTES, AND WE'RE ALL
GONNA BE IN THE WATER ANYWAY.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO. YOU'RE CRAZY, MAN.
THAT THING... THAT THING WILL
TAKE YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF.
SO, WE ALL HIT THE WATER AT THE
SAME TIME AND SWIM FOR THE FAN BOAT.
EVEN IF IT ISN'T KNOCKED
OUT, IT CAN'T GET ALL OF US.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
LET'S DO IT.
OH, SHIT!
WHERE'S ANTON? WHERE'S ANTON?
SHIT!
[panting]
NICE SHOOTING, THANK YOU.
GET OUT OF WATER.
THERE MAY BE MORE.
THERE AIN'T NO
MORE OF THEM HERE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, HONEY.
[engine starting]
[engine stops]
COME ON. GET ABOARD. TIME TO
FINISH HER OFF, BEFORE WE LOSE HER.
YOU GUYS CAN'T JUST
LEAVE US OUT HERE LIKE THAT.
IT'S WOUNDED, WE
CAN TRACK IT NOW.
WE NEED TO GO BACK
INTO TOWN AND BRING BACK
ENOUGH FIREPOWER
TO KILL THAT THING.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE GEAR WE NEED.
NOW Y'ALL CAN STAND THERE,
OR YOU CAN COME WITH US.
EXCUSE ME?
I... I WANT TO GO HOME.
ALL RIGHT. BUT ONCE
Y'ALL GET ABOARD MY BOAT,
YOU DO WHAT I SAY,
YOU UNDERSTAND?
[engine starting]
LET'S GO. COME TO DADDY.
(Dan) YEAH. WE'RE HOME!
(Ben) THERE'S SOME MORE BLOOD!
YOU DON'T WASTE
ANY TIME, DO YOU?
SHUT UP, DAN.
I'M WARNING YOU, DUDE.
SHE DOESN'T PUT OUT NEARLY
AS QUICKLY AS YOU THINK.
SHUT UP, DAN.
(Ben) MORE BLOOD.
LOOK. WHAT IS THAT?
NOW WHAT?
NOW WE GO GET IT.
FORGET IT.
THIS IS YOUR SAFARI,
YOU GO DRAG IT OUT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GOING TO HAVE MY
HANDS FULL HOLDING THIS GUN.
AND SEEING THAT I
DON'T FEEL LIKE HAULING
HIS SORRY DRUNK
ASS IN THERE WITH ME,
IT'S EITHER GOING
TO BE YOU OR HER.
I'LL GO.
EXCELLENT.
BEN, TIME TO COWBOY
UP, MY FRIEND.
HEY, SAM.
THE GUY'S A DICK.
(Jeff) HEY,
YOU FIRST.
BE CAREFUL, SAM.
HEY, YOU. HEY!
GO ON, GET IN THERE.
OK, MOVE IT.
GET IN THERE.
(Ben) HOW MANY?
GOD DAMN IT, BEN.
DID YOU SEE HOW
BIG THAT FEMALE WAS?
THE MALE COULD BE 25 FEET LONG!
WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?
NOTHING, KEEP GOING.
(Ben) MOVE IT.
MOVE ON. GO ON, GET IN THERE.
WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
(Ben) THERE IT IS. THERE IT IS.
THAT FLARE MUST'VE
KILLED IT. LOOKS DEAD.
(Jeff) COME ON. YOU GET OVER
THERE AND COVER ME, MAN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THAT
THING COULD PUT THAT OUT?
I TRIPLED THE DOSE. IT'S
ENOUGH FOR A WHALE.
NOW, COME ON, BEN.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!
ARE YOU SAYING
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?
I'M TRYING TO START THIS
ENGINE SO WE CAN GO GET SAM
AND LEAVE THOSE OTHER 2
ASSHOLES TO THEIR MONSTER.
OH.
YOU NEVER TOLD ME
YOU COULD DO THAT.
I BOUGHT 3.2 OF THEM ARE DEAD.
AND I'M BRINGING THE LAST
ONE HOME WITH ME, ALIVE.
NOW GET ON, THEN, BEN.
DON'T FUCKIN' TELL
ME WHAT TO DO!
YOU TWO ARE PRETTY DAMN STUPID.
(Jeff) JUST DO AS I SAY,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
NOW, COME ON.
[water splashing]
BEN!
FORGET THIS.
YOU STAY EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE.
WE'VE BOTH SEEN WHAT YOUR
SWAMP MONSTER DOES TO PEOPLE.
SO, IF YOU WANT TO
SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME.
OH J...
ELIZA! WE'VE GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE!
(Eliza) SAM!
HELP!
HELP!
HELP!
[screaming]
CHRIST, LET'S GO!
[engine whirring]
GO, MAN! GO, GO, GO!
[groans]
(Eliza) DAN!
OH! SAM!
HAND ME AN OAR!
ALL RIGHT, TAKE THE STICK
AND HEAD FOR THOSE TREES!
AND GET READY TO JUMP!
JUMP? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, JUMP?
JUST DO IT!
EAT THIS, YOU FREAK!
(Sam) JUMP!
[engine roaring]
[both exclaim]
THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
TH... THANKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK GREAT FOR A
GIRL COVERED IN GIANT FISH BRAINS.
YEAH?
YEAH.
WE'LL SEE HOW YOU FEEL
TOMORROW AFTER THE TEA WEARS OFF.
ELIZA, I HAVE A
CONFESSION TO MAKE.
I JUST PRETENDED
TO DRINK THE TEA.
I'VE HAD THAT STUFF
BEFORE. IT TASTES LIKE SHIT.
[chuckling]
LIAR.
LET'S GO BACK AND CHECK ON DAN.
HE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.
YEAH?
WELL, IT'S NOT
TOO FAR OF A SWIM.
[groaning]
OW.
OH, GOD! OH, FUCK!
[groans]
[sighs]
OK, NOW I'M SOBER.
[water splashing]
HUH?
HI, LITTLE FISHY.
HEY, YOU LOOK LIKE...
NO, NO!

WHAT THE...
[gasping]
[yelling]
[gasping]
(Abrams) SOME HUNTERS FOUND
THE BODY ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.
NO I.D. PROBABLY BEEN
DEAD A COUPLE OF DAYS.
THESE WOUNDS ARE POST-MORTEM.
BUT SOMETHING WAS DEFINITELY...
DEFINITELY CHEWING ON HER
AFTER SHE WAS DUMPED HERE.
HEY, SAM, WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?
I'D SAY WE GOT
OURSELVES A HOMICIDE.
SEE THAT BLOOD?
IT WAS SMEARED ON.
PROBABLY CHICKEN BLOOD.
GREAT. YOU DON'T THINK IT WAS ONE
OF THOSE VOODOO THINGS, DO YOU?
NO, THE CHICKEN BLOOD'S
THERE TO ATTRACT PIGS.
A FEW FERAL RAZORBACKS
COULD GET RID OF A CORPSE
IN LESS THAN A WEEK.
YOU KNOW WHAT KILLED HER?
PROBABLY BLUNT-FORCE TRAUMA,
JUDGING BY THE CRANIAL BRUISIN'.
BUT I'LL KNOW MORE AFTER I GET
SOME RESULTS, RUN SOME TESTS.
LET ME GRAB MY KIT.
ABRAMS IS GOING TO HAVE TO
HANDLE THIS ONE ON HIS OWN.
I NEED YOU TO RUN DOWN TO OTLEY.
OTLEY? WHAT FOR?
THEY PULLED WHAT WAS LEFT OF A
BODY OUT OF THE SWAMP DOWN THERE.
IT'S CHEWED UP REAL BAD,
BUT SOMETHIN' AIN'T RIGHT.
THE LOCAL SHERIFF PUT IN A
REQUEST FOR A MEDICAL EXAMINER.
LISTEN, CHIEF, HOW
ABOUT I STAY HERE?
LET'S SEND ABRAMS DOWN,
GRAB A FEW PHOTOS...
FIRST OF ALL, YOU KNOW THOSE SWAMP
RATS WON'T EVEN TALK TO OUTSIDERS.
AND HELL, ABRAMS AIN'T
EVEN FROM THE SOUTH.
YEAH, BUT, CHIEF,
I... I REALLY DON'T...
SECOND OF ALL, YOU'RE THE
EXPERT AT THIS KIND OF THING.
ABRAMS AIN'T.
[police radio chattering]
ALL RIGHT.
[birds chirping]
TELL 'EM I'LL BE THERE BY 8:00.
I ALREADY DID.
[whispering] THANK YOU.
ABRAMS. CALL THE STATE LAB.
SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY PORCINE
CASTS OR X-RAYS ON FILE.
YEAH, SURE.
UH, PORC...
PORCINE. MEANS PIG, EINSTEIN.
(Sam) CALL ME IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
OTLEY.
SHIT.
[door closing]
NOT A PRETTY SIGHT, IS IT?
LOOKS LIKE HE'S BEEN IN THE
WATER FOR 48 HOURS, GIVE OR TAKE.
THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. HE WAS
MISSIN' FOR A DAY AND A NIGHT.
YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS GUY?
NOT A LOT. NAME'S JOHN
CRANKTON. AGE 57, 165 POUNDS.
DID YOU, UH, PUT A VERDICT
DOWN ON THE CAUSE OF DEATH YET?
MMM-HMM. ALLIGATOR ATTACK.
THEN WHY CALL IN AN M.E.?
BECAUSE THESE DON'T LOOK LIKE ANY
'GATOR BITES I'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE.
THEY'RE NOT.
ALLIGATOR TEETH ARE TOO SHORT AND
BLUNT TO CAUSE THIS KIND OF DAMAGE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE
TO VISIT THE SCENE.
WHERE'D THEY FIND THE BODY?
WAY OUT IN THE DEEP SWAMP.
YOU GOT A PHONE AROUND HERE?
SURE. RIGHT OUTSIDE.
[trunk lid closing]
(Mary) HELLO, YOU SAM RIVERS?
THAT WOULD BE ME.
YOU THE BIOLOGIST?
MARY CALLAHAN. DEPARTMENT
OF WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU, TOO.
THANK YOU FOR COMIN' OUT
HERE ON, UH, SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
NO PROBLEM.
[Sam sighing]
SO, YOU READY?
YEAH, LET'S DO IT.
[engine starts]
JUDGING BY THE MAP, WE'VE GOT
ABOUT A 4 OR 5-HOUR RIDE AHEAD OF US.
I'D SAY ABOUT THAT.
WATER?
NO, I'VE GOT SOME COLD ONES
IN THE COOLER, IF YOU WANT.
HELP YOURSELF.
OK. THANKS.
I DIDN'T KNOW MEDICAL
EXAMINERS CARRIED GUNS.
OH, I DON'T USUALLY CARRY ONE,
BUT I DON'T LIKE GOIN' OUT
TO A POTENTIAL CRIME SCENE
WHERE I CAN'T CALL FOR HELP.
WE'VE GOT A RADIO.
WHERE WE'RE GOIN',
NOTHIN' WORKS OUT THERE.
(Mary) YOU SEEM TO KNOW YOUR WAY
AROUND THESE PARTS PRETTY WELL.
YOU GET A LOT OF SWAMP MURDERS?
(Sam) NO. NO, NOT REALLY.
WHEN IT COMES TO KILLIN' PEOPLE,
THE SWAMP DOESN'T NEED ANY HELP.
YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
AT SOME PHOTOS OF THE BODY
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?
YEAH, SURE.
OH, MY GOD.
[Sam chuckling]
(Sam) IS THAT YOUR
PROFESSIONAL OPINION?
IT'S EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT AN
ALLIGATOR COULD HAVE DONE THIS.
SHARK, MAYBE.
YEAH, THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT.
BUT WE'RE A LITTLE TOO FAR UPRIVER
FOR A GREAT WHITE, AREN'T WE?
YEAH, BUT NOT FOR A BULL SHARK.
THEY'RE EXTREMELY
AGGRESSIVE MAN-EATERS.
THAT COULD BE THE
GUY WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR.
HEY, STOP THE BOAT.
THAT'S STRANGE.
THE NOISE FROM THE BOAT
SHOULD HAVE SCARED IT OFF.
THAT 'GATOR DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.
[engine stops]
[fly buzzing]
[frogs croaking]
(Mary) JESUS.
LOOK HOW RAGGED THE STUMP
IS. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS TORN OFF.
YOU THINK A BOAT PROPELLER
COULD HAVE DONE THAT?
NO BOAT THIS BIG COULD HAVE
TRAVELED THAT FAR UP THE BAYOU.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU
THINK HAPPENED, THEN?
PROBABLY SOME REDNECK
POACHER'S IDEA OF A JOKE.
COME ON.
WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
[engine running]
[engine stops]
(Mary) WHAT'S
HAPPENING? IS HE OK?
YEAH. SHH, WATCH.
[birds chirping]
[laughing]
OH, SHE'S A BEAUTY.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
IS IT BITING YOU?
HELL, YEAH.
SOME STRANGE FELLA
STICK HIS HAND IN YOUR HOLE,
WOULDN'T YOU BITE HIM?
[laughing]
THIS IS LIKE THE
DARK SIDE OF HEE HAW.
WE'RE LOOKIN' FOR WHERE
JOHN CRANKTON LIVED.
WHAT Y'ALL WANT WITH OLD JOHN?
JOHN'S DEAD.
YEAH, WE KNOW HE'S DEAD. WE'RE
HERE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
Y'ALL COPS?
MY NAME'S SAM RIVERS.
I'M A MEDICAL EXAMINER.
THIS IS MARY CALLAHAN, DEPARTMENT
OF WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES.
I GOT ME A LICENSE.
I REALLY DOUBT THEY
ISSUE A LICENSE TO DO THAT.
FISTING A CATFISH?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN.
I WASN'T THERE.
RICARDO BROUGHT HIM BACK. HE WAS
WRAPPED UP IN A TARP OR SOMETHING.
WELL, WE'D LIKE TO
TALK TO RICARDO,
AND ANYONE ELSE WHO
MAY HAVE KNOWN JOHN.
YOU TOW ME UPSTREAM A MILE OR 2.
I'LL INTRODUCE
YOU TO SOME FOLKS.
OK.
GOD, WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE
SO FAR AWAY FROM EVERYTHING?
HEY, PARDNER,
PULL UP OVER THERE.
WHOSE HOUSEBOAT IS THAT?
THAT'S MY NIECE AND
HER NAKED HUSBAND.
IT'S ONE THING TO
BE MARRIED TO IT,
BUT TO HAVE TO LOOK
AT IT WHILE YOU'RE EATIN'...
(Sam) AND WHO LIVES IN THOSE?
(Elmer) THAT HOUSE OVER THERE
ON THE LEFT, THAT'S RICARDO'S.
AND THE GREEN ONE,
THAT'S GLORIA'S, JOHN'S WIFE.
OH, ROLAND! BOBBI!
COME ON DOWN HERE. THERE'S
SOME PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MEET YOU.
(Roland) HI, THERE.
THIS MAN'S SORT OF A COP.
HE WANTS TO TALK TO
Y'ALL ABOUT OLD JOHN.
OH, LORD, IT'S AWFUL.
I'VE GOT TO SEE A MAN ABOUT A BAG
OF SQUIRRELS AND A MESS OF FISH.
EITHER OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. CRANKTON?
YOU KNOW, WE FEEL REAL SAD ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOHN. BUT, I... I...
(Elmer) HEY, RICARDO!
I FEEL REAL BAD ABOUT WHAT'S
GOIN' TO HAPPEN TO THAT GATOR
BECAUSE RICARDO OVER
THERE, HE'S GOING TO GET IT
AND IT AIN'T GOIN' TO BE PRETTY.
NOW, RICARDO, HE'S THE ONE
WHO FOUND THE BODY, RIGHT?
UH-HUH.
HE DOESN'T TALK MUCH.
AND SINCE JOHN DIED...
YEAH, THEY WERE IN
VIETNAM TOGETHER.
(Sam) WE'D LIKE TO TALK
TO MRS. CRANKTON, TOO.
GO AHEAD.
(Bobbi) UH, ELMER
SHOULD INTRODUCE YOU,
BEING THAT HE'S HER
BROTHER-IN-LAW AND ALL.
ELMER, WE'D LIKE
TO TALK TO RICARDO.
RICARDO AIN'T TALKIN' TO NOBODY.
HOW ABOUT GLORIA?
WELL, COME ON, WE'LL SEE.
[knocking on door]
(Eliza) HI, ELMER.
COMMENT CA VA, CHERE?
I'M FINE, AND YOU?
I HATE TO BOTHER YOU, BUT
IS YOUR MAMA IN THE HOUSE?
YEAH, SHE'S IN THERE.
YOU WANT TO COME IN?
[door closing]
ELIZA, YOUR MOTHER WILL
NOT LET ME PACK UP THE SHRINE.
IT MUSTN'T BE MOVED
FROM THIS SPOT.
THEY NEED ITS POWER HERE.
DAN, IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE
THE ALTAR, CAN WE JUST LEAVE IT THERE?
THAT'S FINE, I JUST...
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE POINT
OF COMING ALL THE WAY OUT
HERE TO HELP YOUR MOTHER MOVE
IF SHE DOESN'T ACTUALLY WANT
TO TAKE ANYTHING WITH HER.
THERE'S SOME PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT JOHN.
EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.
SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.
I KNOW THIS IS A VERY DIFFICULT
TIME FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
BUT WE'RE HERE TO
INVESTIGATE THE DEATH
OF YOUR HUSBAND, JOHN CRANKTON.
WE'RE HOPING TO GET A LOOK AT
WHERE JOHN'S BODY WAS FOUND.
YOU'RE ALL THEY SENT?
JUST THE TWO OF YOU?
[snickering]
DAMN FOOL.
MA.
SIT.
THERE'S BEEN A CURSE
PUT ON THIS PLACE LIKE
NONE I'VE EVER SEEN.
IT COME WITH THE
STORM AND THE BOAT,
AND IT'S BEEN
WITH US EVER SINCE.
I'VE TRIED TO
KEEP IT AWAY, BUT...
MY CIRCLE OF PROTECTION
IS SMALL, AND I TOLD JOHN
NOT TO STEP OUTSIDE OF IT.
BUT HE WOULDN'T LISTEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT KILLED JOHN.
BUT I DO KNOW IT'S
NOT FROM THIS SWAMP.
APPARENTLY, AFTER
HURRICANE GARRICK,
THEY FOUND A STRANGE
BOAT A FEW MILES UPSTREAM.
MAMA SAID THAT'S WHEN ALL THE
CRAZY STUFF STARTED TO HAPPEN.
LIKE THE FISH GETTING SCARCE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN IT MYSELF.
THIS BOAT, CAN
YOU SHOW IT TO US?
NO, I... I CAN'T GO THERE.
MY CIRCLE IS WHAT'S
KEEPING THAT THING AWAY.
ELMER CAN TAKE YOU.
OH, CHERE, I'M FISHIN'...
ELMER, I... I WARNED YOU.
[sighing]
I KNOW WHAT YOU THINK:
"THIS CRAZY OLD WITCH."
I NEVER SAID...
I'M GETTIN' OUT OF
HERE. AND ONCE I'M GONE,
THERE WON'T BE NOTHIN' TO
KEEP THAT EVIL THING AWAY.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
YOU STOP IT.
YOU STOP IT NOW,
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DIES.
TAKE THESE WITH YOU.
THANKS.
BYE, CHERE.
HEY, WHAT IS THIS THING?
OH, IT'S JUST SOME
CRAZY OLD VOODOO STUFF.
JUST PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET.
HI.
HI.
HEY, Y'ALL WANT SOME FRUIT?
NO, THANKS.
GUESS NOT, HUH?
GOT NO SHAME, THEM TWO.
THIS PLACE USED TO
HAVE SOME DECENCY.
COME ON, HAVE A BANANA.
HMM.
HERE, BABY.
OH!
NO, I DON'T WANT A BANANA.
[frogs croaking]
WHAT'S A BOAT THAT SIZE
DOING WAY UP IN THE SWAMP?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
(Elmer) NOW, I JUST OFFERED
TO SHOW Y'ALL THE BOAT.
I NEVER SAID NOTHIN'
ABOUT GETTIN' ON.
YOU'VE BEEN ON IT BEFORE?
NO.
HOW LONG HAS THIS
THING BEEN HERE?
ABOUT 3 MONTHS.
AND YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN ABOARD ONCE?
NOT EVEN TO LOOK FOR
SOMETHIN' WORTH TAKIN'?
NO.
DID JOHN CRANKTON GO ABOARD?
NEVER SAID HE DID.
NEVER SAID HE DIDN'T.
HEY, PARDNER.
DON'T STAY TOO LONG.
I DON'T PLAN TO BE
OUT HERE ALL DAY.
YEAH, WE'LL TRY NOT TO KEEP YOU
AWAY FROM YOUR BUSY ROUTINE.
(Sam) I WONDER WHY NO ONE
HAS COME LOOKIN' FOR THIS THING.
THIS BOAT HAD A CHINESE CREW.
NOTHIN'S WORKIN' HERE.
[beeping]
(Sam) LET'S CHECK OUT THE HOLD.
WHAT IS THAT SMELL?
OH, SOMETHING'S ROTTEN.
OOH.
OH, GOD.
[Mary sighing]
[Sam exhaling]
[beeping continues]
FUCK.
[water splashing]
YOU BE CAREFUL.
[flies buzzing]
[camera flash whining]
[camera clicking]
(Sam) OH, MAN.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
[coughs] YEAH. I'M OK.
[beeping]
[camera clicking]
JESUS.
(Sam) DAMN.
(Mary) WHAT?
NOTHING.
[sobbing]
(Sam) YOU OK?
YEAH.
[coughs]
I'M JUST... I'M NOT
USUALLY THIS SQUEAMISH,
BUT THAT SMELL WAS JUST...
WHAT IS THIS?
MY GOD, LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S A FISH SCALE. ONLY I'VE
NEVER SEEN ONE THAT BIG BEFORE.
NOT EVEN CLOSE.
NEITHER HAVE I.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.
(Elmer) LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
WE'RE COMIN'. SLOW DOWN.
TAKE YOUR TIME. WATCH YOUR HEAD.
STEADY, MISS. STEADY, STEADY.
[yelling]
[chuckling]
(Sam) ELMER, YOU OK?
YEAH. YEAH.
I'M SORRY, ELMER.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MISSY.
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE.
COME ON, ELMER.
[yelling]
[screaming]
[screaming]
[Mary screaming]
[Elmer groaning]
[panting] WHAT THE FUCK?
WHAT WAS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW. BUT WE'RE
GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
UNTIE THE BOAT.
[engine starts]
[engine revving]
[knocking on door]
OH, COME ON IN.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN LOOKIN'
IN THE WRONG FUCKIN' PLACE.
[beeping]
FUCKING IDIOTS.
[tires squealing]
[phone ringing]
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
(Anton) IT'S ANTON.
OH.
I'M SORRY, BUTTERCUP.
I'VE GOT TO TAKE THIS.
ANTON.
YOUR MERCHANDISE
HAS BEEN LOCATED.
FANTASTIC. WHERE IS IT?
IT'S ABOUT 50 MILES DOWNRIVER.
SO, WHAT HAPPENED?
WE HAVE NO IDEA.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE CARGO?
DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE STARTIN' TO PISS
ME OFF AGAIN, ANTON.
[snarling]
ALL RIGHT, I'LL HAVE MY
BOYS GET THE BOAT READY.
JEFF, COME ON. NONE... NONE OF YOUR
GREAT WHITE HUNTER BULLSHIT, OK?
LET ME JUST GET SOMEONE IN THERE TO
CHECK IT OUT AND TAKE CARE OF THINGS.
AFTER 3 MONTHS, THE
CHANCES OF THAT CARGO...
YEAH, YOU'RE GODDAMN
STRAIGHT, "AFTER 3 MONTHS."
(Jeff) YOU AND YOUR BOYS
FUCKED IT UP LAST TIME.
SO, I'M GOIN' TO GO
DOWN THERE THIS TIME
AND MAKE SURE IT
DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
EVEN IF THE CARGO SURVIVED
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT BOAT,
THERE'S GATORS AND
OTHER SHIT DOWN THERE...
THERE'S NOT A GODDAMN THING IN
THAT SWAMP THAT CAN TOUCH THEM.
YOU GOT THAT?
YEAH.
SO, STOP BITCHING AND GET YOUR
SKINNY ASS DOWN TO MY DOCK.
[phone beeps]
FUCK.
I'M COMIN' FOR YOU, YOU
BEAUTIFUL MOTHERFUCKERS.
SO, YOU'RE SAYIN' THERE'S A, UH, SWAMP
MONSTER OUT HERE KILLING PEOPLE?
LOOK, THE ONLY THING THAT'S OUT
THERE ARE THINGS THAT BELONG THERE.
LOOK, ARE WE SAFE HERE?
THAT BOAT IS ABOUT 3
MILES AWAY FROM HERE.
(Mary) SINCE THERE HAVEN'T
BEEN ANY ATTACKS DOWN HERE,
IT WAS PROBABLY
JUST TERRITORIAL.
(Roland) YEAH, IF... IF
WE DON'T BOTHER IT,
I-I-IT WON'T BOTHER US.
BOTHER US? IT KILLED MY DAD.
IT JUST KILLED HER UNCLE.
(Sam) LISTEN.
IT'S TOO LATE TO MAKE
IT BACK BEFORE DARK,
AND IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
TO GO AT NIGHT.
BUT AT FIRST LIGHT,
MARY AND I WILL HEAD BACK AND
GET SOME HELP TO TAKE CARE OF THIS.
WELL,
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE.
MAMA.
(Dan) YOU KNOW,
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
ANTON.
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT.
MY PILOT WANTS TO
KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOIN'.
I'VE GOT IT MAPPED OUT.
WHO'S OUR FRIEND HERE, JEFF?
AND WHAT'S WITH
ALL THE EQUIPMENT?
ANTON, MEET BEN.
HOW ARE YOU?
WE'VE ALREADY BEEN ON A
COUPLE OF HUNTS TOGETHER.
HELL YES, I'VE
KILLED AND TRACKED
JUST ABOUT ANY GODDAMN
THING YOU CAN THINK OF.
[thudding]
THIS AIN'T A FUCKING GAME, JEFF.
YOU'RE GODDAMN
STRAIGHT ABOUT THAT.
IT'S A HUNT.
NOW, COME ON, MAN.
[engine starting]
(Sam) WHAT ARE WE DEALIN' WITH?
WELL, IT'S CLEARLY CARNIVOROUS
WHICH RIGHT THERE NARROWS
IT DOWN TO ABOUT 4 OR 5 FISH
ON THE PLANET.
YEAH, BUT LOOK AT
THE SIZE OF THIS SCALE.
HOW THE HELL DID IT GET SO BIG?
IT'S THE BAYOU.
SWAMP'S A WILD PLACE.
UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THAT, YOU
AIN'T GETTIN' OUT OF HERE ALIVE.
THE... THAT THING THAT KILLED
JOHN THINKS IT'S KING OUT HERE.
BUT IT AIN'T.
I'LL KILL IT. I SWEAR
TO GOD, I WILL.
DINNER'S READY. AND Y'ALL
GOT TO EAT. I MADE GUMBO.
THAT INCLUDES YOU, RICARDO.
ISN'T HE AFRAID OF
WHATEVER IS OUT THERE?
[snickering]
RICARDO AIN'T
SCARED OF ANYTHING.
THERE'S WORSE THINGS THAN DYIN'.
(Gloria) WE ASK YOU TO PROTECT
US FROM THE EVIL THAT LURKS HERE.
AND WE ASK ALSO THAT YOU
TAKE ELMER UPON YOUR WINGS
AND YOU CARRY HIM HOME.
AMEN.
AMEN.
AMEN.
(Sam) AMEN.
HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SAM?
NO. NO, THANKS.
THIS IS EXCELLENT,
GLORIA. THANK YOU.
YOU'RE WELCOME, YOUNG MAN.
IT'S... IT'S NICE TO MAKE A BIG
MEAL EVERY NOW AND THEN.
SNAPPIN' TURTLE?
WHY, YES.
(Mary) EXCUSE ME.
[coughs]
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
WH-WHERE DID YOU SAY
YOU WERE FROM AGAIN?
OH, WELL, UM, ACTUALLY I
GREW UP AROUND HERE, IN OTLEY.
YOU DIDN'T HAPPEN TO GO
TO BIENVENU HIGH, DID YOU?
(Sam) YEAH, I DID.
I MOVED TO NEW ORLEANS MIDDLE OF
MY SENIOR YEAR, BUT I WAS CLASS OF '91.
THIS IS CRAZY.
I'M ELIZA DESIRE.
I USED TO POUR GATORADE
AT ALL THE FOOTBALL GAMES.
RIGHT. WELL, OF
COURSE, I REMEMBER.
WELL, YOU SURE MUST
HAVE LOVED FOOTBALL.
YOU NEVER MISSED A PRACTICE.
IS THIS THE BOY
YOU TOLD ME ABOUT?
UH-UH, NO, MOTHER.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER, HIS
NAME WAS SAM SOMETHING
AND HE LEFT TOWN.
SHE HAD A CRUSH
ON THIS ONE BOY IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE ASKED ME TO PUT
MAGIC ON HIM ONCE.
REALLY?
(Gloria) OH, YEAH.
OF COURSE, YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT FOR A GIRL THAT AGE.
NOT THAT IT WOULD HAVE
TURNED OUT ANY WORSE, MIND YOU.
OK, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S REALLY NICE.
THAT COMMENT'S
ABOUT ME, ISN'T IT?
THAT'S JUST LOVELY.
[clears throat]
(Eliza) WOULD YOU GUYS
EXCUSE US FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE?
EXCUSE ME.
[door closing]
DAN, YOU'RE BEING RUDE.
YOU'RE A GUEST IN
MY MAMA'S HOUSE...
LOOK, I'M SORRY, OK?
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO
SPEND MY DAY OFF
BOBBING AROUND ON A RAFT
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SWAMP.
(Eliza) I TOLD YOU
WHERE I WAS FROM.
ELIZA, I THOUGHT YOUR MOTHER
LIVED IN A CABIN OFF SOME RIVER.
THIS GUMBO IS
REALLY GOOD, GLORIA.
OH, THANK YOU.
(Eliza) IT WAS NOT!
UM,
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?
DAN, I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
YOU OFFERED IT TO ME.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. I
OFFERED BECAUSE YOU IMPLIED
THAT MY ASSISTANCE WAS ESSENTIAL
IN ORDER FOR OUR DATING
RELATIONSHIP TO PROGRESS.
AND YOU KNEW I HAD A
MOTORBOAT, SWEETHEART.
THE REQUEST WAS
THEREFORE IMPLICIT.
IT WAS NOT.
[dishes rattling]
I SHOULD HAVE NEVER
HOOKED UP WITH A LAWYER.
[door opening]
[door closing]
SHOULD HAVE NEVER
DATED SWAMP-GIRL.
[sighs]
MORE TURTLE SOUP.
[bottles clinking]
OH, YOU KNOW, I COULD
USE ANOTHER BEER.
THANK YOU. THAT'S JUST GREAT.
HEY.
THANKS.
[sighs]
I'M A PARALEGAL IN HIS OFFICE.
WHY DO YOU PUT UP WITH HIM?
BECAUSE I'M A
PARALEGAL IN HIS OFFICE.
WELL, YOU DESERVE SOMEONE
WHO'S NEVER LIKE THAT.
SOMEONE WHO WILL MASSAGE
YOUR FEET AFTER A LONG DAY,
COOK YOU A NICE
DINNER, READ YOU POETRY.
SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY VALUES YOU,
INSTEAD OF SOME JERK WHO
COMES HOME EXPECTING A BLOWJOB.
YEAH, WHERE AM I SUPPOSED
TO FIND A GUY LIKE THAT?
WHO SAYS I'M
TALKING ABOUT A GUY?
BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S FUNNY.
MAN OR WOMAN,
YOU STILL END UP SPENDING
THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME
WITH YOUR HEAD STUCK
BETWEEN SOMEONE'S LEGS.
SAM, WHAT YOU DRINKING?
OH, JUST SOME TEA
YOUR MOTHER MADE ME.
IT'S DELICIOUS.
WHAT KIND OF TEA, MA?
(Gloria) JUST AN
OLD FAMILY RECIPE.
OH, MIND YOUR BUSINESS, GIRL.
JUST KEEP ON BICKERING
WITH YOUR WHITE DEVIL THERE.
EXCUSE ME. I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT, YOU KNOW.
THAT'S... THAT'S THE KIND
OF ATTITUDE THAT GOT ME...
WHAT KIND OF TEA, MA?
[water splashing]
WHAT THE HELL?
OH, HONEY, I... I THINK I SEE
SOMETHIN'. SOMETHIN' IN, UH...
I'M JUST GONNA GO, UH...
HEY, BOBBI, GET OUT HERE.
I JUST SAW SOMETHIN'.
ROLAND, WHAT IS IT?
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST SAW IT.
[screaming]
(Bobbi) OH, MY GOD!
BOBBI, WHAT HAPPENED?
(Bobbi) IT CAME OUT OF
THE WATER AND GOT HIM!
HIS FUCKING HEAD IS MISSING.
(Eliza) BOBBI, WHAT HAPPENED?
SOMETHING CAME OUT OF THE WATER!
(Mary) SAM. OH, SHIT.
IT'S HERE. IT FOLLOWED US BACK.
NO, BOBBI, STAY
AWAY FROM THE EDGE!
WE'LL COME GET YOU!
I CAN'T STAY HERE! (Mary) NO!
NO! NO!
JUST TAKE IT EASY.
[water splashing]
DON'T LET IT TAKE ME!
PLEASE, DON'T LET IT TAKE ME!
HELP!
[screams]
HELP ME!
BOBBI! HELP ME!
DON'T MOVE, BOBBI.
STAY IN THE BOAT.
HELP ME!
[Bobbi sobbing]
[panting]
[creaking]
[Bobbi screaming]
(Sam) OH, GOD.
(Bobbi) HURRY!
(Gloria) SWIM!
(Sam) SWIM, COME ON!
[Bobbi screaming]
(Bobbi) OH, GOD!
[Mary gasping]
COME ON! COME ON!
(Gloria) HURRY!
[gun firing]
SHIT! HURRY UP!
COME ON, BOBBI!
COME ON!
[screaming]
AH, DID YOU SEE
THAT FUCKING THING?
NOW WE KNOW WHAT COULD
DECAPITATE A 12-FOOT ALLIGATOR.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
(Sam) IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
I KNEW...
IF IT'S ANYBODY'S
FAULT, IT'S OURS.
IT MUST HAVE FOLLOWED
US BACK FROM THE WRECK.
(Mary) IT'S NOBODY'S
FAULT. IT'S AN ANIMAL.
IT'S DOING WHAT ANIMALS DO.
IT'S NO MORE EVIL THAN
ANY OTHER PREDATOR.
SHE'S RIGHT. WE'VE GOT
TO GET OFF THE WATER.
DAN, START YOUR BOAT.
IT'S THE BIGGEST AND THE
FASTEST, WE MAY OUTRUN IT.
FUCK YOU, BUDDY. I'M
NOT GETTIN' IN THAT THING.
DID YOU SEE WHAT
IT JUST DID TO BOBBI?
GIVE ME THE KEYS.
OK. FINE.
MARY. ELIZA. GET
READY TO CAST OFF.
AS SOON AS I START THE
ENGINE, EVERYBODY PILE IN.
WHAT ABOUT RICARDO?
HE WON'T GO.
[crashing]
OH, SHIT, MAN! MY FUCKIN' BOAT!
IT'S ATTACKING
EVERYTHING THAT MOVES.
SHH.
EVERYBODY BE QUIET. SHH.
WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
NO.
[water splashing]
[all screaming]
[all exclaiming]
[water bubbling]
ALL RIGHT. WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO KILL IT.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE
GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE.
GLORIA, DO YOU HAVE
ANY SORT OF WEAPON?
DID JOHN HAVE A GUN?
(Gloria) WHA... NO, IT'S GONE.
OH, MAN, WE ARE
FUCKIN' FISH FOOD.
SHUT UP.
BOBBI AND ROLAND'S
HOUSEBOAT, THAT'S FACTORY-MADE.
DOES IT STILL RUN?
UM, I DON'T KNOW.
I... I THINK SO.
[creaking]
(Mary) SAM, YOU'RE
OUT OF YOUR MIND.
THAT WILL NEVER HOLD YOU.
I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER OPTIONS.
WELL, I'M THE SMALLEST ONE,
AND I'M NOT GETTING IN THAT.
I CAN DO IT. I'VE
DONE IT BEFORE.
[scoffs]
WHEN YOU WAS 12 OR 13.
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?
YEAH.
[grunting]
ELIZA!
[grunting]
HOLD ON!
[panting]
(Mary) ELIZA!
(Mary) ELIZA, HURRY.
ELIZA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
[panting]
YEAH. YEAH, I'M FINE.
[engine faltering]
COME ON, YOU FUCKER.
OH.
ROLAND, YOU STONER ASSHOLE!
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SHOT IT?
IT SHOULD BE DEAD BY NOW.
OH, REALLY? WELL, IT'S NOT.
THAT WAS IT FOR AMMO.
[clears throat]
UH, LOOKS LIKE ROLAND
WAS WORKING ON THE ENGINE,
BUT HE WAS TOO
STONED TO FINISH IT.
[thumping]
RICARDO, GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE.
[all screaming]
(Sam) GET AWAY FROM
IT, RICARDO! SHOOT IT!
(Mary) OH, MY GOD!
(Sam) PULL THE TRIGGER!
[screams]
JESUS CHRIST.
[screams]
[grunting]
RICARDO?
(Dan) YOU KILLED THAT THING.
(Sam) THAT IS NOT A SHARK.
NO, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.
THAT'S GOOD.
[panting]
[grunts]
(Mary) OH, GOD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
THAT THING ATE BOBBI.
[laughing] THAT'S JUST WRONG.
HEY.
WHAT SMELLS DELICIOUS?
[whooping]
OH, FUCK.
SO, I GUESS WE'RE HAVING
FILLET OF SWAMP MONSTER?
IT KILLED MY BROTHER!
YOU THOUGHT YOU
WERE KING OF THE SWAMP
UNTIL I RIPPED OUT YOUR
HEART, MOTHERFUCKER!
HE'S, UH, HE'S TALKING
TO THE DEAD FISH.
JOHN, THIS IS FOR YOU!
[crashing]
LOOK OUT!
[all screaming]
OH, GOD!
[screaming]
[grunting]
[Mary screaming]
[sobbing]
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?
WHO KNOWS HOW MANY THERE ARE?
IT CAN BREATHE OUT OF THE WATER?
HOW THE FUCK CAN IT DO THAT?
IT MUST HAVE A
VESTIGIAL AIR LUNG.
LIKE CHINESE SNAKEHEADS.
THEY CAN LIVE OUT
OF WATER FOR DAYS.
THEY... THEY'RE VORACIOUS.
THEY TOOK OVER A LAKE IN
MARYLAND A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
AND, UH, THE WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES
PEOPLE HAD TO POISON THE WHOLE LAKE.
THEY WERE SCARED...
IT'S A MONSTER! IT'S NOT A FISH!
[crying]
[water gurgling]
[thudding]
FUCK. WHAT'S GOING ON?
(Anton) YOU GOT IT?
(Jeff) YEAH.
DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
LET'S GET ON IT.
[whispering] WHAT'S THAT?
[panting]
FUCKING AMATEURS.
(Anton) NOTHING?
WHAT WE WANT AIN'T HERE.
[sighs]
WHAT ABOUT OUR MULES?
THEY'RE HERE, ALL RIGHT.
BITS AND PIECES OF 'EM, ANYWAY.
[frogs croaking]
THEN WE'RE FUCKED.
SON, IF YOUR PREY WERE THAT
EASY TO FIND, IT WOULDN'T BE HUNTIN'.
IT'D BE SHOPPING.
[chuckling]
(Anton) WHAT THE
FUCK DO WE DO NOW?
[sniffling]
[sobbing]
[screaming]
(Eliza) OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD!
ARE YOU OK? ARE YOU OK, ELIZA?
[panting]
(Dan) WHAT THE HELL
ARE WE GOING TO DO?
WAIT. I KNOW HOW WE
CAN GET OUT OF HERE.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS
GET OVER TO RICARDO'S...
[groans]
OH, SHIT!
(Eliza) MARY!
[sobbing]
HUH. THE HOUSE SHOT
HER. THIS IS INSANE!
SHUT UP, DAN. JUST SHUT UP.
SHUT UP!
MAY YOU FIND YOUR WINGS
TO CARRY YOU HOME.
OH, MY GOD.
ELIZA!
WHAT JUST HAPPENED? OH, SHIT.
WHAT DO I DO?
[screaming]
WHAT THE HELL?
(Anton) WHAT WAS THAT?
LET'S GO, BOYS.
(Sam) ELIZA!
MY GOD! IS SHE ALIVE?
SAM!
[water splashing]
SAM! HURRY!
(Dan) COME ON, MAN!
OH, MY GOD.
[groans]
COME THIS WAY.
COME ON, COME ON.
GET THE LADDER! GET
THE LADDER FOR HER.
[screaming]
GET UP ON THE ROOF!
COME ON, GLORIA!
[all screaming]
MAMA!
[crying]
OH, GOD!
OH, GOD.
[screams]
OH, JESUS!
OH GOD!
ELIZA.
ELIZA.
WE NEED TO GET UP ON THE ROOF.
I NEED YOU TO HELP ME. LET'S GO.
OH GOD!
OH, SHIT! OH, SHIT!
OK, THIS IS NOT GOOD.
UM, IT'S ATTACKING THE BOAT!
UH, I... I THINK IT'S
SINKING THE HOUSEBOAT.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!
[crashing]
NO.
OH, GOD!
UM, EXCUSE ME,
BUT I'M FUCKING
SINKING OVER HERE!
JESUS, WE GOT TO GET
OFF THE FUCKING WATER.
OH, REALLY?
[thudding]
OH, GOD!
FUCK ME.
(Eliza) NOW IT'S SINKING IT.
WA-WA-WAIT! WA-WA-WAIT! NO,
NO, NO, WAIT! IT'S REALLY SINKING.
OH MY GOD.
(Sam) JUST HOLD ON, ELIZA.
[boat creaking]
[water bubbling]
(Sam) HEY, CAN YOU
HOLD YOURSELF?
I JUST WANT TO SEE IF I
CAN LOOK INSIDE RICARDO'S...
HE'S GOT TO HAVE
SOMETHING IN THERE.
WHAT? NO, W-W-WHAT
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
IT'LL BE OK. JUST
LOOK OUT FOR ME.
JUST LOOK OUT FOR ME.
SAM, DON'T.
NO, NO, NO. I'LL BE OK.
IT'S GONNA KILL YOU, SAM.
TRUST ME. TRUST ME.
WE'RE FUCKING FISH FOOD, MAN!
[glass shattering]
AHHH!
[boat creaking]
(Eliza) SAM.
HERE, I FOUND A FLARE GUN.
[static buzzing]
[motor boat engine approaching]
WHAT? WHAT'S THAT NOISE?
(Sam) IT'S A BOAT!
BOAT.
HELLO!
HEY, HEY, HEY! HELLO!
HEY!
(man) WHAT?
HEY, BE CAREFUL!
(Eliza) YOU GUYS
GOT TO WATCH OUT!
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER!
[crashing]
OH, NO!
FUCK!
HURRY UP!
(Dan) COME ON, SWIM!
COME ON, MAN, SWIM!
(Anton) WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
COME ON!
(Dan) YOU'VE GOT TO SWIM. SWIM.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
[man screaming]
I TRIED TO WARN YOU.
(Dan) GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!
HEY, HEY, HEY. NEVER
GET OUT OF THE BOAT.
[all panting]
NOW TELL ME EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED HERE.
UH, IT DESTROYED MY MOTORBOAT,
AND IT SANK THESE HOUSEBOATS.
AND THEN IT KILLED...
WELL, KILLED EVERYBODY.
TELL ME, HOW MANY ARE THERE?
(Sam) WE DON'T KNOW.
WE KILLED ONE, BUT
THERE'S AT LEAST ONE MORE.
(Sam) WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS?
THEY'RE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED
NORTHERN SNAKEHEADS.
IN CHINA, THEY'RE A DELICACY.
I'M S... THERE'S A WHOLE...
THERE'S A WHOLE PIECE HERE...
DAN, SHUT UP!
YOU TALK TO HIM.
Y'ALL BEEN EATING GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED SALMON FOR YEARS
AND MOST PEOPLE
DON'T EVEN KNOW IT.
SOME OF MY FRIENDS JUST
TOOK IT ONE STEP FURTHER.
THIS IS THE RESULT.
EXPLAIN TO ME, WHY
WOULD YOU DO THAT?
WELL, SON...
I'M NOT YOUR SON.
THERE'S NO THRILL TO COMPARE
WITH HUNTIN' SOMETHIN'
THAT CAN HUNT YOU BACK.
WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY OF CREATIN'
SOMETHIN' THAT'S
NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE,
AND SOMETHIN' THAT'S
NEVER BEEN HUNTED BEFORE,
THAT'S A ONCE-IN-
A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY,
AND I TOOK IT.
THAT'S FUCKING CRAZY.
YO! YO! THERE SHE BLOWS!
YOU HIT IT? YOU HIT IT?
(Jeff) YEAH, I GOT IT.
IT'S GONNA BE OK NOW.
[sighs]
[thudding]
(Anton) LOOK, WE'VE
WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
THE TRANQ SHOULD'VE
TAKEN EFFECT BY NOW.
YOU PUMPED IT WITH ENOUGH
OF THAT SHIT TO DROP A RHINO.
HELL, 2 RHINOS.
DUDE, THEN LET'S GO.
10 MORE MINUTES, AND WE'RE ALL
GONNA BE IN THE WATER ANYWAY.
OH, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO. YOU'RE CRAZY, MAN.
THAT THING... THAT THING WILL
TAKE YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF.
SO, WE ALL HIT THE WATER AT THE
SAME TIME AND SWIM FOR THE FAN BOAT.
EVEN IF IT ISN'T KNOCKED
OUT, IT CAN'T GET ALL OF US.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
LET'S DO IT.
OH, SHIT!
WHERE'S ANTON? WHERE'S ANTON?
SHIT!
[panting]
NICE SHOOTING, THANK YOU.
GET OUT OF WATER.
THERE MAY BE MORE.
THERE AIN'T NO
MORE OF THEM HERE.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, HONEY.
[engine starting]
[engine stops]
COME ON. GET ABOARD. TIME TO
FINISH HER OFF, BEFORE WE LOSE HER.
YOU GUYS CAN'T JUST
LEAVE US OUT HERE LIKE THAT.
IT'S WOUNDED, WE
CAN TRACK IT NOW.
WE NEED TO GO BACK
INTO TOWN AND BRING BACK
ENOUGH FIREPOWER
TO KILL THAT THING.
WE'VE GOT ALL THE GEAR WE NEED.
NOW Y'ALL CAN STAND THERE,
OR YOU CAN COME WITH US.
EXCUSE ME?
I... I WANT TO GO HOME.
ALL RIGHT. BUT ONCE
Y'ALL GET ABOARD MY BOAT,
YOU DO WHAT I SAY,
YOU UNDERSTAND?
[engine starting]
LET'S GO. COME TO DADDY.
(Dan) YEAH. WE'RE HOME!
(Ben) THERE'S SOME MORE BLOOD!
YOU DON'T WASTE
ANY TIME, DO YOU?
SHUT UP, DAN.
I'M WARNING YOU, DUDE.
SHE DOESN'T PUT OUT NEARLY
AS QUICKLY AS YOU THINK.
SHUT UP, DAN.
(Ben) MORE BLOOD.
LOOK. WHAT IS THAT?
NOW WHAT?
NOW WE GO GET IT.
FORGET IT.
THIS IS YOUR SAFARI,
YOU GO DRAG IT OUT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M GOING TO HAVE MY
HANDS FULL HOLDING THIS GUN.
AND SEEING THAT I
DON'T FEEL LIKE HAULING
HIS SORRY DRUNK
ASS IN THERE WITH ME,
IT'S EITHER GOING
TO BE YOU OR HER.
I'LL GO.
EXCELLENT.
BEN, TIME TO COWBOY
UP, MY FRIEND.
HEY, SAM.
THE GUY'S A DICK.
(Jeff) HEY,
YOU FIRST.
BE CAREFUL, SAM.
HEY, YOU. HEY!
GO ON, GET IN THERE.
OK, MOVE IT.
GET IN THERE.
(Ben) HOW MANY?
GOD DAMN IT, BEN.
DID YOU SEE HOW
BIG THAT FEMALE WAS?
THE MALE COULD BE 25 FEET LONG!
WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?
NOTHING, KEEP GOING.
(Ben) MOVE IT.
MOVE ON. GO ON, GET IN THERE.
WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
(Ben) THERE IT IS. THERE IT IS.
THAT FLARE MUST'VE
KILLED IT. LOOKS DEAD.
(Jeff) COME ON. YOU GET OVER
THERE AND COVER ME, MAN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THAT
THING COULD PUT THAT OUT?
I TRIPLED THE DOSE. IT'S
ENOUGH FOR A WHALE.
NOW, COME ON, BEN.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!
ARE YOU SAYING
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE?
I'M TRYING TO START THIS
ENGINE SO WE CAN GO GET SAM
AND LEAVE THOSE OTHER 2
ASSHOLES TO THEIR MONSTER.
OH.
YOU NEVER TOLD ME
YOU COULD DO THAT.
I BOUGHT 3.2 OF THEM ARE DEAD.
AND I'M BRINGING THE LAST
ONE HOME WITH ME, ALIVE.
NOW GET ON, THEN, BEN.
DON'T FUCKIN' TELL
ME WHAT TO DO!
YOU TWO ARE PRETTY DAMN STUPID.
(Jeff) JUST DO AS I SAY,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
NOW, COME ON.
[water splashing]
BEN!
FORGET THIS.
YOU STAY EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE.
WE'VE BOTH SEEN WHAT YOUR
SWAMP MONSTER DOES TO PEOPLE.
SO, IF YOU WANT TO
SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME.
OH J...
ELIZA! WE'VE GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE!
(Eliza) SAM!
HELP!
HELP!
HELP!
[screaming]
CHRIST, LET'S GO!
[engine whirring]
GO, MAN! GO, GO, GO!
[groans]
(Eliza) DAN!
OH! SAM!
HAND ME AN OAR!
ALL RIGHT, TAKE THE STICK
AND HEAD FOR THOSE TREES!
AND GET READY TO JUMP!
JUMP? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, JUMP?
JUST DO IT!
EAT THIS, YOU FREAK!
(Sam) JUMP!
[engine roaring]
[both exclaim]
THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
TH... THANKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK GREAT FOR A
GIRL COVERED IN GIANT FISH BRAINS.
YEAH?
YEAH.
WE'LL SEE HOW YOU FEEL
TOMORROW AFTER THE TEA WEARS OFF.
ELIZA, I HAVE A
CONFESSION TO MAKE.
I JUST PRETENDED
TO DRINK THE TEA.
I'VE HAD THAT STUFF
BEFORE. IT TASTES LIKE SHIT.
[chuckling]
LIAR.
LET'S GO BACK AND CHECK ON DAN.
HE MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE.
YEAH?
WELL, IT'S NOT
TOO FAR OF A SWIM.
[groaning]
OW.
OH, GOD! OH, FUCK!
