Flipper (1964–1967): Season 2, Episode 14 - Shark Hunt - full transcript
There is another shark breakout in the preserve, and Porter has his hands full with getting rid of them, saving stupid divers, closing the park to swimmers, and keeping Flipper alive.
- Gosh, Dad, giving Bud
three bucks for a weekend.
I never got anything like that.
- You've got a short memory Sandy.
Besides, $1 of that, you know,
is for his fare home from camp.
- Dad, look.
- Come on.
What happened?
- Sharks, a whole school
of 'em around the point,
near this old wreck I was exploring.
- Oh boy, that's a bad wound.
- What do we do, Dad?
- We're getting him to a
hospital as quick as we can.
All right, let's get this gear off.
As soon as we get him there,
get back, get the shark
warning signs posted.
We've gotta get him outta here.
. Okay-
- Come on easy now, easy.
♫ They call him Flipper, Flipper
♫ Faster than lightning
♫ No one, you see, is smarter than he
♫ And we know Flipper lives
in a world full of wonder
♫ Lying there under, under the sea
- Is that diver gonna be all right, Dad?
- He'll be all right Sandy,
thanks to Flipper.
Now we have to find out
how to get these sharks out of the park.
We'll go up ahead and stop,
and see what we can find
on the underwater TV.
Well, we got the wreck
just about under us.
Let's take a look.
- You have a look too, Flipper.
- You got the wreck yet?
- Not yet.
Oh, here it is, to the left.
No sharks around that I can see.
- Oh, Flipper wouldn't
be just nosing around
if there were sharks in the water.
I think we'd better widen the circle.
Think I'll go down and
take a look at that wreck.
Maybe something down there
that attracted the sharks.
- Hey, look.
What's Flipper trying to show us?
- Well, let's find out.
He's heading for shore.
See if you can get Flipper on the TV.
- Dad.
How come they're not attacking him?
- They might any minute,
you can never tell about a shark.
I gotta get him outta there.
- He's gonna fire at him.
- It takes more than a spear
to go through the hide of a mako shark.
- Look another one.
- I've gotta stop him somehow.
- He's gonna touch him.
- Now I've seen some stupid divers before,
but this guy beats them all.
Maybe he'll hear this.
What about it Sandy,
does it look like they heard it?
- No, look what they're doing now.
- I'll try it again.
- I think they heard you that time, Dad.
Yeah, here they come.
- All right, come on, get outta there!
Give me that.
- Hey, what's the big idea?
- Come on, get outta there!
- They're all over the place.
- What's the matter with you two guys?
You trying to kill yourselves?
- What do you mean?
We're only out here doing a
little spear fishing offshore.
- Spear fishing is not
allowed in this park.
Besides, those were sharks
you were playing with.
- But these sharks won't hurt you.
You saw them yourself.
- Now where did you get that idea?
- From you.
- From me?
- Well, the pamphlet the park puts out,
what do they call these uh,
harmless species, a nurse shark.
- Yeah, it says there's
a lot of them out here.
- It does, huh?
- We figured we'd get some pictures
to show it to the guys back home.
- Well, I tell you what
you should have done.
You should've taken that
pamphlet underwater with you,
and had a good look at that nurse shark.
I think that you would have found out
that it was a mako shark.
Mako, you get it?
One minute they're harmless,
the next minute they'll tear you apart.
- These'll tear you apart?
- You mean these things will attack you?
- Yeah, as a matter of fact,
they hit a man less than two hours ago.
And that gentleman is the
reason that the park is closed.
- Dad.
They're gone.
- Oh, that doesn't mean anything, Sandy.
They could be anywhere.
- We've gotta make sure
they're out of this park.
- If they're gone, okay if we go back in?
- You'll stay in this boat
until I tell you it's safe to go back in.
Get a radio, Sandy.
WD, nine, five, nine, eight
to WL, six, nine, four, seven, over.
WD, nine, five, nine, eight,
to WL, six, nine, four, seven, over.
- Come in, Porter.
- Skipper is your boat available?
We've got a big shark
problem here in the park.
- Yes, matter of fact, we
have an order for sharks,
Seaway Research Institute.
- Well, that's good
because you'll find
plenty of them over here.
- Good, I'm glad to be of help.
Now, what's your position?
- Uh, right now we're off of Vista Point,
and I'll start the search pattern
originating from here, over.
- Over and out.
Hamill, Charles.
- Yeah.
- Let's get her under way.
We're going out after some sharks.
- Dad, is it okay if I go
aboard the Seaquarium boat
with Captain Bender?
- Yeah, that might be a good idea, Sandy.
You can help coordinate the search.
- Thanks, Dad.
- Yeah, we're gonna need their
sonar to find those sharks.
- Flipper will find them, he did before.
- I'd like Flipper to stay
out of this completely.
He can handle a few of them,
but if they gang up on him,
they'll tear him to pieces.
' Hiya, Sandy.
- I'll search on
a parallel course with you.
- So long.
- Sandy.
- Now you watch out on this side,
you watch on the starboard side.
Keep your eyes open.
- You know, they don't look as
friendly as they did before.
- Boy, they sure don't.
- Get up a little closer,
and see if they've hooked anything.
- Hey Dad, got one!
- You got one all right.
- Good boy, Sandy.
- Come on, Sandy.
Come on boy, pull him in.
Come on Sandy, get him!
- Pull her in, Sandy.
- Good boy, Sandy.
Well, after Captain Bender
has all the sharks he wants,
we'll spread out the shark repellent,
and that'll drive the sharks up.
- What's the matter?
- That's a dolphin.
That's Flipper!
Sandy!
- Hey, Dad.
- Come on, hurry up, Flipper's in trouble.
- Come on, you're
outnumbered, come on boy!
Dad, what do we do?
- I don't know Sandy, we've
gotta get him out of the water.
- I've got it.
- What?
- The raft.
- All right,
give him a hand, come on.
Hurry up now!
Come on let's go!
- Now if only we can get him on it.
- Well, we need a rope.
- I'll get one.
- Wait!
- Sandy, don't thrash.
Come on Flipper, here we go.
Start the engine.
- It really does repel sharks.
- It's a new formula, Sandy.
Sharks will be glad to get out of here
after they get a taste of that.
- Flipper will be glad to stay in it.
