[CREATURE SNARLS]

[BOY YELLS]: SHARK!

HEY! THAT'S MY SHARK.

'K...

GIVE IT.

KAI.

YO.

I NEED YOU TO EMPTY OUT
THE TRASH CANS.

'K, POPS.

MAKE SURE
YOU PUT FRESH BAGS IN.

I KNOW.

HEY.

THIS IS
THE AIKEN REC CENTER, RIGHT?

YEAH.

'CAUSE I'M SUPPOSED
TO MEET SOMEBODY...

I JUST MOVED HERE...

WELCOME.

[CHUCKLES]

I GUESS HE'S LATE...

DO YOU KNOW
CAMERON MCINTYRE?

THAT'S WHO'S
MEETING ME HERE.

YEAH. I KNOW HIM.

I MET HIM ONLINE.

HE'S GOING TO HELP ME TRAIN.

PROBABLY GOING
TO MAKE THE OLYMPICS.

WE CAN ONLY HOPE.

[BOY]: ALEXA?

OH, HI. CAMERON?

WHAT THE HECK?

I'VE BEEN WAITING AT
THE FRONT FOR 20 MINUTES.

I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT WE SAID TO MEET
AT THE REC CENTER, SO I...

WOULDN'T IT BE COMMON SENSE

TO WAIT WHERE
YOU COULD SEE THE ENTRANCE?

SEE, WHEN YOU TRAIN WITH ME,

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
WHAT YOU DO IN THE WATER,

IT'S EVERY PART
OF THE PREPARATION.

IT'S BEING HERE
ON TIME,

AND IT'S GETTING YOUR HEAD
IN THE RIGHT PLACE--

WHAT A--

"WHAT A" WHAT?

YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

GO ON, FINISH YOUR SENTENCE.

FORGET IT.

YEAH, FORGET IT.

BECAUSE IT'S NONE OF
YOUR BUSINESS, IS IT?

AND THAT'S
ANOTHER THING.

IF YOU WANT
TO BE A CHAMPION,

YOU'VE GOT TO
HANG WITH CHAMPIONS.

THIS DUDE,
HE'S FROM HAWAII, RIGHT?

AND HE DOESN'T
KNOW HOW TO SWIM.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, KAI?

YOU'RE AFRAID OF THE WATER,
RIGHT?

HE WORKS FOR HIS OLD MAN
AT THE POOL

AND HE DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO SWIM.

I CAN SWIM.

PROVE IT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD START TRAINING.

HOLD ON.
KAI SAID HE KNOWS HOW TO SWIM.

I DON'T BELIEVE HIM.

I KNOW HOW TO SWIM.

WE'RE WAITING.

[ALEXA]: COME ON, KAI.

JUMP IN.

HE WON'T.

I DON'T NEED TO PROVE
ANYTHING TO YOU.

TOLD YA.

COME ON.

COME ON, COME ON, COME ON!

YOU'RE CHOPPING.
YOU'RE NOT EXTENDING.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, I'M MAKING YOU
MY PROJECT, ALL RIGHT?

YOU'RE RAW, YOU'RE UNFINISHED,

BUT I THINK YOU BELONG
IN THE WATER.

COME ON, WE'LL STOP BY
THE SNACK BAR.

I'LL LET YOU BUY ME A SMOOTHIE.

SO YOU READY TO GO?

DO YOU MIND
IF I STAY FOR A BIT?

I'LL LOCK UP.

ALL RIGHT.
I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME.

[SCREAMING]

I SWEAR, DUDE,
I SAW ITS SHADOW.

AND IT RIPPED THE ROPE
RIGHT OFF THE MOORING.

THERE WAS A SHARK IN THAT POOL
WITH ME.

SOUNDS LIKE NANAUE.

WHAT'S NANAUE?

IT'S AN OLD HAWAIIAN LEGEND.

THE SHARK GOD

SAW A BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN
DOWN BY THE WATER.

SHE WASN'T JUST BEAUTIFUL,
THOUGH,

SHE WAS STRONG AND GRACEFUL,

COULD SWIM LIKE A DOLPHIN.

THE SHARK GOD WAS IN LOVE,

BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO SCARE HER,

SO HE TOOK THE FORM OF A MAN.

THEY FELL IN LOVE,

AND THE MAIDEN BECAME
THE SHARK GOD'S WIFE.

AND NANAUE WAS THEIR CHILD.

BUT NOW CHECK IT OUT--

ON LAND, NANAUE WAS A MAN,

BUT IN THE WATER,
HE WAS A SHARK.

[KAI'S DAD]: AND ON THE ROOF,
YOU'RE A ROOFER.

IT'S TIME TO GO TO WORK.

HEY, JUST HAVING
A CULTURAL MOMENT WITH MY CUZ.

MICHAEL, DON'T FILL HIS HEAD UP
WITH THOSE STORIES.

THOSE STORIES?

THEY'RE YOUR STORIES.

AND MINE. AND KAI'S, TOO.

THEY'RE THE STORIES
OF OUR PEOPLE.

WE'RE NOT IN MAUI ANYMORE,
WE'RE IN MINNESOTA.

[SCREAMING]

[SHARK SNAPS]

OH, MAN...

[SWIM COACH]:
OKAY, EVERYBODY...

NO! YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!

UH... WHY NOT?

THERE'S A SHARK IN THERE.

A SHARK?

OKAY, EVERYBODY, CAN YOU GRAB
THEIR FLOATIES, PLEASE?

NO. LOOK.
I'M NOT KIDDING.

THERE IS A SHARK
IN THAT POOL.

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME?

WHAT'S UP?

KAI SAID HE SAW
A SHARK IN THE WATER.

A SHARK?

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT A WEIRDO YOU ARE.

A SHARK?

HOW COULD THERE BE A SHARK
IN THE SWIMMING POOL?

IT'S NOT A REGULAR SHARK.

YEAH. OF COURSE NOT.

IT'S A POOL SHARK.

[CHUCKLES]

THAT'S A GOOD ONE,
RIGHT? POOL SHARK.

IT'S NANAUE.

NA-NA-OO-WAY!

WHAT A FREAK YOU ARE.

LET'S GET STARTED.

HURRY UP.

[GIRL SCREAMS]

[GIRL SQUEALS]

HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

NOTHING.

I'M JUST TAKING A BREAK.

SO DO YOU NOTICE HOW THERE IS NO
WASTED MOTION IN MY STROKE?

IT'S SMOOTH, IT IS.

BUT POWERFUL.

MM-HMM. YEAH.

THAT'S HOURS UPON HOURS
OF TRAINING.

AND I MEAN TRAINING
WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT,

AND YOU'RE TIRED,

BUT YOU STILL GO OUT

AND YOU DO 30, 40,
50 MORE LAPS.

AND THEN YOU GET THESE.

FEEL 'EM.

I'M GOOD.

BUT, UM...

THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME.

I REALLY WANT TO GET BETTER.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO GET GOING.

I'LL GIVE YOU
A RIDE HOME.

I THINK I'M JUST GONNA
HANG HERE FOR AWHILE.

[CAMERON HUMS THEME FROM "JAWS"]

HEY, YOU,

SIT DOWN.

HOW CAN YOU STAND THAT GUY?

YEAH, HE'S A LITTLE
FULL OF HIMSELF.

BUT HE'S AN AMAZING SWIMMER

AND HE'S HELPING ME.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WHO'S HELPING YOU?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

THE WHOLE SHARK THING.

KAI, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

THERE CAN'T BE A POOL SHARK.

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

WHY ARE YOU SO AFRAID?

I'M YOUR FRIEND.

YOU ARE?

AREN'T I?

SURE.

SO, TELL ME.

I WAS SEVEN.

JUST BEFORE WE MOVED
HERE FROM HAWAII.

WE WERE ALL AT
THIS CROWDED BEACH.

I WAS IN THE WATER
WHEN SOMEONE SAW A SHARK.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

EVERYONE PANICKED
AND I GOT TRAMPLED.

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

I KEPT ON
CALLING OUT FOR HELP--

THEN, FROM UNDER THE WATER,
I SAW IT.

I LOOKED RIGHT INTO ITS EYES.

MY DAD LIFTED ME
OUT OF THE WATER

AND CARRIED ME TO SHORE.

I'VE BEEN AFRAID OF THE WATER
EVER SINCE.

SO, MAYBE THE SHARK
THAT YOU SAW

WAS THE ONE THAT'S BEEN TRAPPED
IN YOUR MIND ALL THESE YEARS.

IT'S NANAUE.

HE'S PURSUING ME.

AND IF ANYONE GETS IN ITS WAY,
HE'LL DEVOUR HIM.

YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT.

I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY...

I FEEL IT...

IN HERE...

THAT IT'S TRUE.

ALRIGHT, WELL,
I'M GOING TO GO GET SOME REST.

I'M GOING TO BE BACK LATER.

I GOT PERMISSION
TO TRAIN AFTER HOURS.

NO. PLEASE.

KAI, IF YOU'RE SO WORRIED,

THEN MAYBE
YOU CAN SLAY THE MONSTER

BEFORE IT DEVOURS ME.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING
TO DO WITH THAT?

NOTHING.

JUST MESSIN' AROUND.

UH-HUH.

[EERIE GROWLING]

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT--
IT'S ME AND YOU--

NANAUE ISN'T JUST ONE PERSON.

IT'S A CLAN.

IS CUZ NANAUE?

NO.

IT IS AN INHERITED TRAIT,
BUT HE DIDN'T GET IT.

YOUR COUSIN ONLY
KNOWS THE LEGEND,

BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW
A THING ABOUT US.

DO ME A FAVOR
AND DON'T TELL HIM.

YEAH.

SO, THIS MORNING,
THAT WAS YOU IN THE WATER?

AND THE OTHER DAY...

THAT WAS ME--
SCARED OF MY OWN SHADOW?

YOU WERE BEGINNING TO TRANSFORM
IN AND OUT,

YOU JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?

BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE.

BUT EVEN THEN,

YOU NEED TO FIND THE COURAGE
TO FIGHT THE SHARK

BEFORE YOU CAN FULLY BECOME IT.

BECOME WHAT?

A MAN EATER?

ONLY WHEN WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

I COULD'VE KILLED YOU.

NOT LIKELY.

DID MOM KNOW?

ONLY A SPECIAL WOMAN
CAN LOVE THE NANAUE.

BEFORE SHE DIED,

SHE ASKED THAT HER ASHES
BE SCATTERED IN THE SEA.

NOW WHEN WE GO BACK
TO THE ISLANDS,

YOU'LL FEEL HER SPIRIT
IN THE WATER.

[DAD SLAPS KAI'S THIGH]

HI.

WAS THAT YOUR DAD?

THAT WAS POPS.

HE DOESN'T REALLY
LOOK LIKE YOU.

SIMILAR TEETH.

WELL, IF IT ISN'T SHARK BAIT.

WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?

TAKE OFF.

YOU KNOW WHAT, CAMERON?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE OFF.

ME?

YEAH. I'D LIKE YOU TO LEAVE.

I'M GOING TO CHILL HERE
WITH KAI.

WELL, GOOD.

'CAUSE I'VE BEEN WASTING
MY TIME.

I WAS GOING
TO TELL YOU TONIGHT.

YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT
AS A SWIMMER.

I JUST THOUGHT I MIGHT
HAVE SOME FUN WITH YOU.

YOU'RE NOT EVEN
WORTH MY TIME.

HEY, CAMERON. WANNA RACE?

REAL FUNNY.

I'M SERIOUS.

I'LL RACE YOU ACROSS THAT POOL.

THERE AND BACK.

SHUT UP.

I'LL EVEN PUT SOME MONEY ON IT.

OKAY.

500 BUCKS.

YOU GOT THAT MUCH?

I'VE BEEN WORKING.

SHARK BAIT'S CRAZY.

YOU KNOW WHAT--
I LIKE THAT NAME.

"SHARK BAIT!"

FOR SOMEBODY.

[KAI]: GO WHEN YOU'RE READY.

HUH. I GUESS I LOST.

ARE YOU AFRAID?

IF I ASK YOU
TO TAKE ME FOR A RIDE...

WILL YOU DEVOUR ME?

I DID JUST EAT.

BUT... I AM NEW AT THIS.

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES.

HANG ON TIGHT.
