are restricted waters.

You would be right.

I don't understand, I thought

we were gonna look for Rasca?

We are.

Why are we here?

(Boat engines slowing)

(Hawk)

Up ahead

in that Naval base

is a dolphin training facility.

Why don't you tell us

about it, Craig?

Better yet,

tell Alyssa.

What's the matter,

cat got your tongue?

It wasn't an activist

organization that stole Rasca.

It was the U.S. Navy.

Craig here is in the Navy.

I'd guess an Ensign.

Alyssa,

it's not like that.

(Hawk)

Computers were on

the night Rasca was taken.

They show Alyssa's whistles

were used

to lure Rasca

out of the pen.

The other day at the lab

did you have a tape recorder

in your pocket?

What, you recorded me?

You used me?

(Hawk)

Tell the truth, boy.

(Naval officer on air horn)

You're in

restricted naval waters.

Turn your boat around

immediately.

I didn't have a choice.

(Craig sputtering)

Let's go home,

darlin'.

(Boat engines revving up)

(Alyssa sobbing)

He was lying to me

the whole time,

and I was such an idiot

that I - I -

I fell for it.

(Daniel)

Hey, there's your challenge

right there.

And I know you can

overcome it.

(Alyssa whispering)

Yeah.

(Alyssa sniffing)

What are we gonna do?

Well, taking on

the entire U.S. Navy,

that can get messy.

These people

came into our home.

They took a member

of our family.

They crossed a line,

and we can't allow it

to stand.

We fight this together.

As a family.

(Ominous music)

(Craig)

Rasca!

Come on, girl.

Rasca!

Rasca.

Come here, girl.

Up, up, up!

That's a good boy.

See Kate?

That's how it's done.

lf you put on

a camera vest,

you get one of these.

Good boy, Oscar.

(Craig)

Her name's not Kate,

and I don't think

she's gonna respond very well

to reward training,

either.

The Navy says

her name is Kate,

her name is Kate.

Get the vest on her.

(Craig sighs)

Rasca!

Come here, girl!

Come on, girl,

there you go.

Good girl, good girl.

Come on, girl.

Put this on you, okay?

I know, I know, come on.

Come here, girl.

Rasca!

Just get it on her.

Rasca.

Come here, girl.

(Sad music)

(Hawk)

It's official

U.S. Navy document.

Talks about a dolphin

you folks had

in your training program

named Kate.

Went missing

about three years ago.

And how your researchers

believed

this other dolphin named Rasca

might be the same dolphin.

lf they can prove it,

well then it's, uh,

how does it say,

" Recovery of the

animal is authorized."

Where did you get this?

I can't tell you that,

I'd have to kill ya.

Blaine, you got 48 hours

to return my dolphin,

or I go to CNN.

I don't need that.

Got plenty of copies.

Come here, girl.

Rasca!

(Sailor)

Ensign Morrison,

Lieutenant Styles?

Yes?

Captain Blaine

wants to see you.

(Craig sighs)

Harker was just in here

with a 48-hour ultimatum

and he gave me these.

Do either of you

have any idea

how he got his hands

on them?

No, sir.

You jokers aren't

under my command,

but you are now

my problem.

(Dialing phone)

Ensign, give me San Diego,

Admiral Black.

Sir, please.

Ensign,

hold that call.

Sir, we can have the dolphin

out of here

before Harker goes

to the media.

Then all he'll have

is documents.

Documents can be forged.

It'll blow over.

Let me clean this up,

then call Admiral Black.

(Ominous music)

So, you want to solve

the problem

before you present it

to your boss.

You're trying to protect

your career, aren't you?

I can have her out

tomorrow.

?

We're gonna resume

sonar testing tomorrow.

Nothing in and out

of the harbour

while the testing

is going on.

I will not reschedule

to accommodate you.

But if you can have

that animal out of here

by tomorrow night...

We can, sir.

(Blaine)

Don't you dare screw up.

?

Dismissed.

?

There's something

going on here,

and I don't think

you're telling me.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Yeah, you do.

Do you wanna know

what I think?

I think that this

is your personal operation.

I don't think

that Admiral Black

knows anything about this.

You're in this with me

whether you like it or not.

Your fingerprints

are all over it.

I go down,

you go down.

Yeah,

I'm calling San Diego.

Craig, a dolphin like Kate

is worth more

than you'll see

in a decade.

The training,

the capabilities--

Wait, wait, wait,

hold on a second.

You do this for the money?

You're crazy.

(Styles)

I already have a buyer,

Craig.

?

Two million dollars.

And all you have to do

is be quiet

and let it happen,

and you get a cut.

Well, I don't want

your money.

I think you're insane.

Am I?

Who's getting hurt

by this?

Your little friend

and her family?

They'll get over it,

and so what if I'm boosting

another country's capabilities,

it doesn't matter.

Tomorrow when Rasca disappears,

so do I.

?

And it'll be clear

when the dust settles,

that this was my op,

not yours,

and you were just

following orders

from a superior officer.

Me.

On the other hand,

if you report this,

I'll make sure

that everyone understands

that you were in on it

from the beginning.

ln fact, that it was your idea

to start with

and then you just

lost your nerve in the end.

You'll be finished.

Dishonourable discharge,

five years

in the military prison,

is that what you want,

Craig?

Think about it.

You're smart,

that's why I picked you.

(Receding footsteps)

?

(Hawk)

I should have never

given them 48 hours.

Should have gone to CNN

right off the bat.

You don't have to give them

the 48 hours, Hawk.

Well, we know where she is.

We just need to figure out

a way to break in

and get her back.

(Craig)

That would never work.

(Daniel)

What the hell are you

doing here?

Alright,

listen to me.

You wouldn't get within

a half a mile of the base

before you got spotted,

alright?

There's only one way

that you're gonna

get Rasca back

and you need my help.

No, I don't trust him.

Yeah, me neither.

Alright, you got one minute.

Navy is doing sonar testing

tomorrow.

It means another group

of dead dolphins,

and they're never tagged.

I'm following ya.

It means

we gotta kill Rasca.

(Tamika)

What?!

And we need a diversion.

I'll take care of that.

(Ominous music)

(Hawk)

Okay Daniel,

we're in position.

Stand by.

(Sonar pulsing)

(Rasca whistling excitedly)

(Sonar pulsing)

I wouldn't do that.

Get out of the water,

Craig.

Looks like your meal ticket

just swam away.

(Sonar pulsing)

(Dramatic music)

(Sonar pulsing)

(Sonar pulsing)

(Rasca whistling)

(Boat engine)

(Alyssa and hawk laughing)

(Rasca chattering excitedly)

(Hawk laughing)

(Hawk)

She looks alright.

(Alyssa)

Yeah.

(Boat engine revving)

(Dramatic music)

You are in possession

of Navy property,

I order you to return it

to base immediately, Harker!

She's not property,

she's a dolphin.

This is pointless,

Harker,

you know we'll get her back.

I don't think so.

Rasca knows how to live

in the wild.

Once I get her

to a thermocline,

you're never gonna
