Bering Sea Beast Page #3

Get it... Come...

- Get it.

- I got it. Got it.

- Put it in.

- Guys, it's awake. It's coming.

- Close it. Close it. Close it.

- We got it.

Oh...

- We got it.

- Oh, my gosh.

So I would appreciate it if

one of you could come with me

while I conduct my examination.

I'll go. It would give you two

time to be with your dad.

I'm going to need him too.

- What?

- Excuse me?

Well, it gestated inside him. His body

will tell me things I need to know.

You want me to do this

right, don't you?

- You're not touching my father.

- Let me examine him.

Otherwise, one of us could

become the next incubator.

No. I said no.

If I can learn one single thing about

this sea vampire that will help us,

he wouldn't have died for nothing.

We'll take care of Dad and

then we'll warn the others.

Fine.

They're not even gonna

believe us anyway.

I'm not kidding. The legend

of the sea vampire is real.

They're fish by day

but at night, they walk on two

legs, thirsty for human blood.

- This is a matter of life and death.

- Sea vampires can be tasty

battered and fried, served up

with a side of tartar sauce.

But be careful. I hear when you

bite into them, they bite back.

Looks good. I'll take them.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Let's go.

Mm.

Hello there, Donna.

Thorne.

I've known you since you

were a little girl.

You think it's about time you

started calling me Travis?

Thorne, have you heard about

the legend of the sea vampire?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Well, it turns out there's

some truth to it after all.

You putting me on?

I know it sounds ridiculous, but

regardless, the water's not safe.

I suggest you guys stay on

dry land for a couple days.

Your daddy put you up to this?

Hm? Little practical joke for

me outbidding him on his claim?

Wish it were a joke.

Wait, how'd you know

it was our claim?

Sorry, what was that?

The claim you bid on, how'd

you know it was ours?

I saw him storm away, it was easy

enough to put two and two together.

Can I offer you a little

piece of friendly advice?

- Stay off my claim.

- It's not your claim for another six days.

- I beg to differ.

- Cool, well, take it up with the state.

You heard about what happens

to people who steal from me.

- Are you threatening me?

- No.

God, no. Of course not.

This is not a threat. This is

more of a business proposal.

Yeah, well, coming from you,

they're one and the same.

Look, I got the best claim.

You got the best rig.

You know as well as I do how profitable

this claim can be if handled correctly.

That's why I need for you

to talk to your dad.

Convince him to sell his

entire operation over to me.

That way, he can retire in

comfort and you and your brother

can come work for me.

It's a win for everyone involved.

Dredging is my family business,

and you are not my family.

Baby girl, I would get down on my

knees and propose this very night

- if I knew it'd sweeten this deal.

- Shut up.

Jimmy.

Get the boys together.

It's time we put those

Hunters out of business.

Permanently.

Everyone thinks we're a joke.

Even I can't wrap my

brain around this.

But whatever. We warned them.

That's what Dad would've done.

- To Dad.

- To Dad.

- I still can't believe he's gone.

- Me neither.

Taught me everything

I know about everything.

Thorne was telling me something

strange after the auction...

Sluice Goose to Black Drum.

Come in, Black Drum.

Ahem. Sluice Goose,

come in. Black Drum.

Hey, little lady.

Just wanted to tell you

I didn't see any of your sea vampires

out there on the water today.

But what I did see was

a ton of cave gold.

And they were all on the

new claims. Ha-ha-ha.

- He's screwing with us.

- But how do you know?

Come on, let's go.

Joe, come on. Come on.

He wasn't kidding.

- Quick, get down. Joe. Down.

- Thanks.

- Gotta get away from the water.

- Run.

- They're gonna attack.

- How do you know?

Because they're diving

to gain momentum.

There. There. There. Go, go.

Go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

Turn off your flashlight.

Now what?

I don't know. I was just trying to

buy us time before our next move.

Great.

- Did you hear that?

- No.

- What about now?

- I wish I didn't, but I did.

- Oh, my God.

- Okay.

Is this what you dug

up on the legend?

Yeah, not much to go on.

"The legend originating from a

dying fisherman washed ashore"

off the coast of Nome

in the late 1800s

"has proven to be of interest

to locals and visitors."

An account of a man claiming to have

survived an encounter with a vampire,

as well as the record of a fishing vessel

that was discovered off the coast of Nome.

"Despite the fact that

the weather was fine,

the crew had been experienced and the

ship remained entirely sea-worthy."

I mean, wouldn't you think the

discovery of this ghost ship,

and this fisherman, it would

connect these two events?

Well, most myth are

based on some fact.

I don't understand, why is it that we're

just finding out about these things now?

You were lucky enough to survive a

face-to-fin encounter with a sea vampire.

I mean, who could you tell that

wouldn't think you insane?

- You?

- Other than me.

Fair point.

I don't even wanna believe

these things exist.

From what I can glimpse

of their anatomy,

they resemble most

bottom-dwelling sea life.

Before diving, the only way a

human could encounter them

would be if a sea vampire got caught

in the net of a fishing trawler.

Virgin claims.

- A virgin what?

- The virgin claims.

There's an entire stretch off the coast

that's never been dredged before until now.

I think we were the ones

that stirred them up.

What do you mean?

Joe, Donna and I, we were on a dive

there the night Jonas got killed.

Important fact to

leave out, you think?

It wasn't my decision.

I'm telling you now.

Like kicking a hornet's nest. We invade their

territory, they defend their territory.

But come on, you really think

that these things are responsible

for that ghost ship?

You saw it in action, you tell me.

And this is a newborn.

Imagine what a full-blown

adult is capable of.

All right, one of

us has to cast off.

I'll flip you for it.

All right, heads, I win,

tails, you lose. Let's go.

No, I'll go.

Really?

Yeah, I got this.

Okay. Hurry.

Hey, Joe?

Be careful, please.

Yeah.

- Come on. Hurry.

- Aah!

Joe.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Someone up there likes us.

Glenn's cells are ravaged.

They look like broken eggs.

It's as if it were feeding

on him from the inside out.

Take some blood. Oh, wow,

this isn't going to work.

- You're not gonna get him.

- It's moving.

This is going to require a different

approach. Can you pass me the camera?

Sometimes photos reveal things you

can't see with the naked eye.

Okay.

- A good one.

- I'm gonna go download these.

Yeah, yeah. Wait.

Wait, wait, hold on.

Wait. He's not moving.

What'd you do?

- Oh, great.

- He's just sitting...

- Help me get it up to the exam table.
