track her down.

(Sailor)

They're testing

out there today, Ma'am.

I know that!

I order you

to stop your vessel!

(Jet skis buzzing)

(Muttering)

I don't believe this.

Do not slow down.

Make way!

(Sailor)

We're gonna hit them!

I don't care,

go around them.

Make way!

(Drone of jet ski)

(Crack of flare gun)

Red, let her through.

(Boat engine starting)

(Boat engine chugging)

(Boat engine chugging)

(Boat engine speeding up)

(Suspenseful music)

STOP - YOUR - VESSEL!

Alright, alright,

you got me.

(Styles)

Where's the dolphin?

Well, she's around here,

somewhere.

Alright, girl,

time to give yourself up.

(Alyssa)

Hey, Dad.

Whoa! I surrender!

(Hawk laughs)

(Sailor)

Lieutenant Styles,

put down the weapon.

Put it down now!

(Rasca whistling)

(Loud sonic blast)

(Ominous music)

(Rumbling aftershock)

(Alyssa)

Anything wrong?

No, let's go home.

(Reporter)

Unfortunate news

from the Bahamas

where it has been determined

that a dolphin

missing from the International

Dolphin Research Center

was among a group which beached

themselves two days ago.

Earlier I spoke with

marine forensic scientist,

Mitchell Waters,

about this development.

(Dr. Waters)

Death occurred due

to active sonar tests.

The necropsy was conclusive

in that regard.

Navy Lieutenant, Gwen Styles,

has been arrested

in connection

with the abduction.

Documents found

in her possession

confirmed that

she had planned to sell

the highly-trained dolphin,

which is said

to have been worth

as much as

two million dollars.

(Daniel)

Hey Hawk...

Somebody out front

wanna see you.

Funny thing

about those necropsies...

Seems that all the carcasses

were destroyed

before the Navy got a chance

to examine them.

Hmm, were they?

A shame.

lf I were a detective,

I'd think you pulled

a fast one on us.

But, if the Navy says

the dolphin is dead,

then the dolphin is dead.

Thanks.

Classified documents.

I think you've earned

the right to see them.

They're gonna be on the news

in a couple of hours.

The Supreme Court

ruled against us.

We're not gonna test here again.

We're probably on our way

back to California.

Where you'll just

keep on testing.

With increased safeguards.

Harker, you moved the needle.

And you got an old sailor

to think twice,

and I think

that's something.

Well?

Daniel, everybody's got to have

something to believe in.

Right now,

I believe I'll have a beer.

(Daniel laughs)

(Woman singing)

? So wherever

I'm to settle in ?

? It's gonna be

up to the winds ?

? Of New Orleans or Mexico ?

She seems happy.

Yeah.

Listen, uh...

I know that you'll never

be able to forgive me.

I want you to know that

I'm not expecting that of you.

What about you?

I mean, are -

are you in trouble?

Yeah, I'm in some trouble,

but I have an attorney,

and he thinks that, uh,

I'll be able to get off

with a, uh,

simple discharge.

Maybe even an honourable one.

Chance for me

to start over, you know?

So, what are you

gonna do now?

I don't

know what I'll do,

but, uh, I do know

where I'd like to be.

Here.

That is, of course,

as along you don't think

I'll be run off the island

by the locals.

(Alyssa laughs)

Well, I think you're okay

on that.

You know, there might even

be a position for you

at the, uh,

Dolphin Research Center.

I'd like that.

(Rasca whistling)

(Water splashing)

Hey guys.

The whole family

is up there.

Why don't you come up

and join us?

Wanna go?
