Bering Sea Beast Page #6

Got to have my own fireworks

show any day of the week.

Bet you never thought

you'd be using it for this.

Never in my wildest dreams.

What about you?

At what point did

you say to yourself

you wanna dedicate your

life to the study of fish?

Well, I spent a lot of time with my

grandparents when I was growing up

and they lived about a mile away

from one of the nicest

beaches you ever wanna see.

I used to spend hours

with my grandpa

collecting crabs and snails

and starfish in buckets.

So as I got older, it only seemed

natural to move on to bigger fish.

Well, be careful what you wish for.

Wow, looks like a first-class

battleship. Good job, brother.

- More like a death ship.

- Even better.

- Megan and Owen are here. Let's go.

- Come on, let's do this.

What do we have? Oh, wow.

Nice. All right. This isn't gonna be pretty,

but now we know what makes them tick.

We'll be coming at them

on their home turf.

But Murphy's always

part of the equation.

- Murphy?

- Murphy's Law.

- If anyone wants out, speak up now.

- I got nowhere else to be.

I gotta get us on that gold.

- Let's do this before I change my mind.

- Let's go.

- Get the big one right here.

- Help me, Joe.

- Take one to the bridge, one to the back.

- You got it.

Hey, buddy.

It's Dad.

What am I doing?

Well, I'm, uh, hunting monsters.

No, I'm not teasing you.

These are... These are

real live monsters.

Well, because they're protecting the

gold, and we gotta fight them for it.

They live at the bottom of the ocean,

in caves, and that's where the gold is.

Exactly.

Just like the dragon in your book.

Buddy, listen.

I don't have much time,

so I just, uh...

I wanted to call and see how you're

doing and tell you that I miss you.

Yeah, well, when I get back,

we're gonna go on a trip.

So I want you to start thinking

about places you wanna go, okay?

All right.

All right, I love you too.

All right.

Bye-bye.

Seems like a great kid.

Yeah, he's...

He's the most important

thing in the world to me.

My dad was a single dad too.

I don't know how he did it.

I can't imagine raising a

kid in this day and age.

I have enough trouble getting

myself through the day.

It's the hardest thing

I've ever had to do.

Harder than hunting sea vampires?

You know, I'm gonna have to

get back to you on that one.

- Okay, we're here.

- Right back where we started.

There you go.

- Let the games begin.

- Thanks.

This is for you, Dad.

I'm coming for you, suckers.

Teach you not to

mess with my father.

How did that feel?

That's what you get for

touching my father.

- You ready? Grab it. Grab it.

- I got it.

Get rid of it. There you go.

Watch out. Watch out.

- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

- Okay, ready?

- Boom!

- Nice.

Got one!

Got another one!

Joe! Donna, what's going on?

I'm losing power up here!

- Joe, generator.

- Got it!

- Here. Owen, take this.

- All right.

Oh, damn.

Damn, damn, damn.

- Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Owen!

- Yeah!

- Catch!

- Thanks.

Owen. Owen, go. Megan.

Owen, help me! Please!

Owen! Help me, please!

Owen, help!

Hold on.

Suck on this!

Come on!

Yeah!

I got your back.

That's it.

- We're done. The Black Drum is sinking.

- That's bad.

I know. There's no way

we can fix this out here.

I'd rather put a bullet in my brain

than let those things get me.

Drum's going down, no matter what.

Let it go down with a purpose,

let it go down with a bang.

- What did you have in mind?

- I can rig it to explode.

I can put together a UV combustion

bomb and I can blow it sky-high.

All right, let's do it. Joe,

cover us with the UV cannons.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

All right, okay, right here.

Here we go. Here we go.

These are gonna blow them up.

It's gonna be nice. Okay,

give me these. This goes here.

- All right.

- There. Good, good, good. Good job. Go.

Let's do this. Come on.

Okay.

It's now or never, people. Come on!

- This is as good as it's gonna get.

- Come on, let's move.

- Come on. Hurry.

- Hold on, hold on.

- Go, go, go!

- Come on. Go.

- All right.

- Go, go.

Let me know when the boat's untied.

Come on. Come on.

- What's taking so long?

- All right. Go, go, go!

Any second now.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Come on.

- Come on.

Something must be wrong.

It's taking too long.

Uh-oh. That's the

least of our worries.

- Guys. Shoot.

- Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Yes.

- Whoa! Yeah!

Even in death, The Black

Drum puts up a fight.

Always has.

I sure hope this thing doesn't die.

I don't have it in me to paddle back in.

Whoa, watch out!

- Joe!

- Joe!

- Whoa, Joe.

- My gosh, are you okay?

- Is he okay? What's wrong with him?

- Kill it. Kill it.

- I am. I am. Joe, are you okay?

- Joe. Just keep...

- I am. I'm killing it.

- Kill it.

I'm trying. I'm getting it.

Hold on.

- Joe. Joe, look at me.

- Are you okay?

Die already!

I think it's dead. I think it's dead.

Joe, are you okay?

- Look at me. Look at me.

- Are you okay? Let me see. Let me see.

It's not that bad. Okay. All right.

Yeah, you're good. You're good.

I mean, same old, same old.

Always wind up carrying your ass.

Not true.

Yeah? Well, name one time you

ever had to carry me. Huh?

Halloween, 1992. You twisted your

ankle and you didn't want to go home.

So I carried you piggyback

the whole night.

Yeah, I didn't wanna go home

with a weak candy haul to Dad.

He used to weigh out our candy.

- Traded candy for gold ounce for ounce.

- Double ounces for Snickers, remember?

I take it back.

You have carried me.

You know, I'm gonna

turn over a new leaf.

- Hopefully it's a gold leaf, right?

- I'll get us back on the gold. I promise.

I'm taking your word. Can you

try not to bleed to death

- before we make it back to shore?

- Yeah, I'll try.

And, Owen, after everything

you've done for us,

you have a place in

this boat for life.

That is if you still want it. Heh.

I knew I'd get on your good side.

- Hey, hey.

- Ha-ha-ha.

Think we got them all?

If not, at least they'll think

twice about coming back at us.

- Live for the gold.

- Die for the gold.

- But not this time.

- Hear, hear.

You know, after everything,

Name's a pretty beautiful place...

- when it's not trying to kill you.

- All right, let's get the hell home.

- What do you say, huh?

- Yes, please let's go home.

Can we just go home?

Let's go.
