MALE:

[CHATTER]

Thanks.

What's up ladies?

I got beers! [WHOO]

Here you go. One for the lady.

Thank you.

One of the gentleman.

I got an idea.

How about some day

time skinny dipping?

No way.

Aww, come on babe.

I'm gonna swim to that

buoy and back.

And I make it, you gotta go

skinny dipping with me.

[SCOFFS]

[CHEERS-WHOO]

A little further.

[LAUGHS] Ha, Ha! Yeah!

Told you he's make it.

Unbelievable.

Well, do you want to strip down

now or wait till he gets back?

MALE #1:
Whoo-hoo!

MALE #1:
All of it.

- Yeah.

- Now the bottom.

I don't think so.

[SCREAMING]

Polly!

MALE #1:
Polly! Polly! Male #2: Mark! Get back

onto the sand! There's a shark in the water!

Hey, what the hell is that?

MALE #1:
Get her out of the

water!

MALE #1:
Get out!

MARK:
She was just here and now

she's gone.

[WHIMPERING]

Get out of the water.

[SCREAMING]

FEMALE:

Do you hear screaming?

Screaming? No.

I'll go check it out though.

[SCREAMING]

[BEEP-INTERCOM] Calling Dr. Thomas.

Maggie, the new intern has arrived at the

island research facility. I will go up to meet

her and will drop by your office in 30 minutes.

[BEEP-INTERCOM] Actually

lets make that 15 minutes.

We're heading up there now.

Hello, you must be our new

intern.

Maggie Peterson, I presume?

And you must be Dr. Nelson.

Please call me "Ted".

Come inside. Okay.

Watch your step.

Oh, that's Dr. Leonard. He

doesn't do well around people.

Especially if they're new.

But at any rate, welcome to

Persephone.

I'm thrilled to be here. Where

can I start first?

Testing Ph levels, or helping with

today's specimen acquisition?

Raring, to go, huh? I knew we

hired you for a reason.

But you've gotta crawl before you walk,

so, let's start you with orientation.

[FAKE ENTHUSIASM] Oh. Great.

It's not like pulling

teeth, I promise.

So you really signed up to work

in this godforsaken bunker, huh?

An opportunity to study the Great Pacific

Garbage patch up close and personal?

I'd never pass that up. Besides, you get to

do all the cool stuff here at Persephone.

Deep-sea dives. Animal

discovery. Save the ocean.

Well most of the time,

it's just paperwork.

MAGGIE:
Oh. Dr. Nelson: But don't worry.

We'll find you something exciting to do.

Come on. Let's store your gear

and I'll give you the full tour.

Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Professor Thomas? I've got someone

here that you may like to meet.

PROF. THOMAS:
Oh! You must be Maggie.

MAGGIE:
Professor.

It's such an honor to meet you.

Please. All I do is study garbage.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, we're about to go on the big

tour. Would you like to join us?

Yeah! I'd love to.

You know what, we have some

visitors coming today.

[RECEPTIONIST] Calling Dr. Thomas.

The Earth Pact has just docked...

DR. THOMAS:
Actually, they've just arrived.

So, why don't we all do the tour together.

You 2 can come with me.

MALE:
Hey Brad, wait up top with the

bags while we go down into the facility.

Earth Pacters! Hello! Welcome!

We're so glad you could make it.

It's always nice when we can

work with new,

potential colleagues.

I'm professor Laura Thomas.

And this is Dr. Ted Nelson,

and we have our newest inter-

Greg?!

[CHUCKLES]

You've gotta be kidding me?

Care to introduce us to your

friend, Maggie?

Uh... Sure. This is Greg.

He's a, um...

We us to date in college.

Before I dropped out, that is.

Naturally.

I haven't seen you in what?

3 years?

Yeah. Something like that.

[CHUCKLES]

You look great.

PROF. THOMAS:
Now that we're all

acquainted, why don't you follow me.

PROFESSOR THOMAS: So guys, currently

we're half a mile under the ocean.

This underwater station is so special

to everyone that works here.

With 45 qualified research staff. Selected

by the worlds leading marine biology

university programs and special

interest groups.

We have 2 state of the art underwater

docks, and 3 submarine vehicles

capable of collecting samples

from the ocean floor.

And Procuring specimens of

local marine wildlife.

I'd like to formally welcome

you to the Persephone.

It's truly one of a

kind research station.

We built this station on an island

right next to the Garbage patch,

and it features a central crater

right down into the ocean.

There are a group of smaller

islands scattered around the

facility, used for above

water operations.

It's the only research station that allows us

to fully study oceanic, plant and avian life

that could be impacted by the

nearby pollution, as well as flora.

We are so pleased that Earth Pact has agreed

to send you all out here for the day,

so you can collect all the

information that you need.

Yes. It's something that we've

been pushing for a while.

To get activist groups, like yourselves,

involved and get that facts that you need.

Yep! We believe that science and

activism can go hand in hand,

and be a powerful force for

change.

Well, why don't we get right

down to the tour, shall we?

Dr. Nelson I'm going to

let you handle that.

I'm gonna head to

the control room.

Have fun.

Okay Maggie, why don't we take Greg and

your friends and we start at the top floor?

And that why we get your

tour done as well.

Sounds great.

So, uh, we're with you?

Looks that way.

Guys, this is my old friend,

Maggie.

Maggie, this is Ryan, this is

Allison, and this is Omar.

MAGGIE:
Did you gain some

weight? Or something else.

This place must have cost a

fortune.

GREG:
I always expected I would

see you again.

GREG:
I just didn't think

it was going to be here.

Well, surprise, I guess.

I mean, I always figured you'd end

up at a place like this, though.

And?

Yeah. You were always talking

about being a scientist.

Trying to invent something to

save the planet.

Yeah. And you were

always saying,

"the only way to change things,

was to get out there and fight".

I guess not much has

changed there.

Still. We both wanted the

same thing, right?

GREG:
A better world?

Sure. Just different...

methodologies.

We still ended up in

the same place.

Maggie. Greg. Try to

keep up, please.

DR. NELSON:
In here we look very

closely to how pollution is

affecting the habitats

surrounding the Garbage Patch.

And what this means to the animal

life native to those eco-systems.

Most organisms we across are

normal. But we've been seeing

some anomalies appearing in some

of the creatures.

Every 4th or 5th specimen we pull out from

the sea in this are manifests a mutation.

We keep them all here to study.

But enough of that and the facility. On

to the people that make it all happen.

DR. NELSON:
This is the Specimen room. That's

Betts and Sandoval over there, hard at work.

This is where we study animal life native

to the island and the waters both below and

around the Garbage Patch.

Check their pollution levels,

look out for anomalies?
