Bering Sea Beast Page #2

of one of your divers

washed up on the

beach this morning.

Who are you?

I'm Megan Arthur, professor of

marine biology from the U of A.

- How do you know it was our diver?

- Diver's suit had your logo on it.

Where's the body?

- In my lab.

- Excuse me?

If I let the coroner collect the body

before I could properly research it,

his report would

claim shark attack.

I believe this to be something

other than a shark.

Something other?

I've been tracking

this unknown predator

responsible for this large amount of

seals washing up along the coast.

- Is that unusual?

- It is.

Only because they've

been exsanguinated.

- What the hell does that mean?

- Entirely drained of blood.

And your diver is the first

human casualty I'm aware of.

Damn sea vampires.

Sea vampires?

Don't listen to him.

They're a local legend.

And the key word being "legend."

Care to enlighten me?

I think I remember a little

bit from elementary school.

It dates back to the 1800s, started by

a wounded fisherman who washed ashore.

Locals say before he died

the fisherman claimed to have

been attacked by a sea vampire.

A fanged, blood-drinking beast

born beyond the icy depths.

I need to learn as much as

I can about this legend.

Tourist center should have

all the info you need.

All right. You can call me tomorrow

about collecting the body.

Be careful out there.

Up until now, the great white shark

was the worst thing known to man.

Whatever this is, it's even worse.

Oh! Hey, here we go. Oh!

Get ready to bring it around!

Got her on the line, she's

a big son of a b*tch.

- Hang on.

- You hang on.

All right, back it down.

Back it down.

I'm not driving a cab.

Take it easy, Jeb.

- Watch the line, man, watch it.

- Let it out!

I am letting it out.

Back down a little bit.

I am backing it down.

I'm coming around.

Oh! Whoa! Hey! Hey! Hey!

The safety belt snapped! Glenn!

Glenn, get down here! Glenn! Glenn!

Glenn! Glenn! Glenn!

Glenn! I need a...

Glenn, help! Aah!

Jeb!

I'm okay. I'm okay.

- I'm okay.

- Come on.

Jeb!

Son of a b*tch.

- I'm not as petty as you are.

- Petty?

You're so irresponsible. I can

handle this better than you...

Is there any compromise

that can be made

so we can stop wasting

time, get back out there?

- This is family business.

- Stay out of it.

- Heads, I dredge. Tails, you dredge.

- Why do you always get to pick first?

Give me that. Two heads?

My own brother.

You know me. I'll do

anything to better the odds.

I'm in charge, not by default,

by your dumb-assery.

Yeah, whatever.

Dig with the excavator.

Everything from here goes

into the grizzly over here,

tracks into the sluice box, and this is

where we separate the gold and dirt.

Move! We got a distress call

from Dad! He's in trouble!

Let's take the launch.

It's at the ramp. Let's go.

- Go. Let's go. Joe, are you driving?

- Yeah.

Go, Joe, drive.

Did he say anything? What happened?

I don't know. He sounded

like he was in trouble.

Go, go, go! Come on.

Let me get it untied.

Come on, Joe. Faster. Come on, Joe.

He's right there.

- Hold on, let's get closer.

- Looks like it's drifting.

Do you see him?

- Oh, my God.

- Go, go, go.

- Dad!

- Go, go.

- Dad, Dad, Dad.

- Is he alive? Here.

- Check his pulse. Check his pulse.

- All right. Donna, is he okay?

- What you got? You got it? Is he alive?

- What do I do?

- Gotta get him to a hospital.

- Get him to the hospital.

- Hurry up! Hurry up! Come on!

- Dad, wake up!

Joe, come on! Drive faster!

Hold on, Daddy.

- Right there. Get him up. Get him up.

- Go, go, go. Come on, Joe. Unh.

- Get the back. I'm gonna put him there.

- Got it. All right.

- Joe, you're driving.

- Just set him right here.

- Put him right here. Put him...

- Got him?

I got him. I got him. Right here.

I got him. Pull him back.

- Drive. Get in the driver's seat.

- Ready?

Get in the driver's seat. Go.

- Push.

- Unh!

Come on, Dad. Come on, wake up.

We did good on the gold today, Dad.

Gosh, Dad. He's awake.

- Where are we?

- It's okay.

- Where are we? What happened?

- You're gonna be okay.

- Glenn, it's okay. It's okay.

- Unh. Ow!

- What the hell's wrong with him?

- Oh, no! No!

Hold him down. Hold on. Come on.

- No, Dad. Dad. You'll hurt him! Don't!

- Stop. Come on, Glenn.

He's freaking out. He's freaking out. Hold

him down. Hold him down. Hold him still.

- What's going on?

- I don't know what's going on with him.

- What's going on?

- Come on.

Whoa.

- What the hell is that thing?

- Get down. Get down.

Come here. Donna. Get back here.

Oh, no, no, no. Go to the front.

Out the door. Out the door!

Go, go. Get out.

Get out. Get out.

What the hell is that?

I swear to God, I don't...

What the hell is that thing? Joe.

- Let's kill it!

- What are you doing? No!

- I gotta save my dad!

- No! Not yet! Listen to me!

Do you wanna die? You wanna die?

If you open that door,

that's what's gonna happen.

- What if he's still alive?

- He's dead.

Now that we know there's

more than one out there,

you and me and every other dredger

on the Bering Sea's at risk.

All I'm saying is we gotta figure out what in

the hell that thing is before you kill it.

- No.

- Aah! Aah!

How in the hell are we

supposed to do that, huh?

Joe.

I've been tracking

this unknown predator

responsible for this large amount of

seals washing up along the coast.

Is that unusual?

Only because they've

been exsanguinated.

Entirely drained of blood.

- Hello?

- This is Joe from The Black Drum.

It's your lucky day. We

caught you a sea vampire.

How did it get in there?

- Came out of our father.

- Be careful.

Be careful. Watch.

Told you.

Thanks. I was afraid it might

use a host to sire offspring.

You did whatever you could to

warn us. We didn't wanna listen.

- How fast was the incubation?

- I don't know. A couple of hours.

- Incredible.

- Sorry if we don't share your enthusiasm.

I didn't mean to sound insensitive.

Look, whatever. I need you to figure out

whatever it is that makes this thing tick,

- so that no one else winds up dying.

- You want me to find a way to kill them?

Yeah. Smart cookie, professor.

I am sorry about your father. I am

a scientist, not an exterminator.

I have a profound reverence for all life.

This is an undiscovered species.

- It needs to be researched.

- That's why we brought you here.

Research it, pull its guts

out, but we're gonna kill it.

Yeah, we are.

- We'll need to get it to my lab.

- How are we gonna do that?

- Here.

- All right, you ready?

- Yeah.

- All right, on three.

One, two.

Let's go. Let's do this.

- Great.

- Sure it's gonna work?

Yes. There's enough chloroform in there

to take down a pack of elephants.

- It's right there.

- Right there.

- Oh, my gosh. Give me that thing.

- Be my guest.

Wait, we gotta wait till

the gas clears out.

Here, I'm gonna open up the door

just a little bit and let it out. Ready?

- All right, move.

- It's right there. Get it, ready?
