Deep Blue Sea Page #4

Synopsis: A businessman sinks $200 million into a special project to help fight Alzheimer's disease. As part of this project, medical biologist Susan McAlester rather naughtily figures out a way to genetically enlarge shark brains, so that disease-battling enzymes can be harvested. However, the shark subjects become super smart and decide they don't much like being cooped up in pens and being stabbed with hypodermics, so they figure a way to break out and make for the open sea...

...maybe you were right.

Everything I've done...

...I don't think I could've done it

without you.

I know, Susan. That's the problem.

Four A.M..

I know.

One night feels like a whole week.

Relativity.

What do you mean?

Einstein's theory of relativity.

Grab hold of a hot pan,

a second can seem like an hour.

Put your hands on a hot woman...

...an hour can seem like a second.

It's all relative.

I spent four years at Cal Tech. That's

the best physics explanation I've heard.

It works.

You stay with the doc.

Me and Scoggs are going to try

to get to the wet lab...

...drain that stairwell.

- Preach?

- What?

Would you zip me up, please?

We got one, there's two sharks left...

...and you and the doc are doing

a little bathroom love.

They got a pill for what's wrong with you?

I need to get some things

from my quarters. Research data.

The tests, they worked.

So much death around us,

to risk any more life for some numbers...

Without that data, everyone dying

isn't just tragic, it's useless.

Death is always useless, Doctor.

This is it.

Stay here. I'll be back before you know it.

What's going on?

What the hell's going on? What is that?

It's okay!

- What is that?

- We're all right!

- What the f***?

- It's okay.

I thought you were coming back for me.

One of your monitors is blocking the panel.

You want to help me move it?

I say we do everything right together.

Right together.

Hello.

My name is Sherman Dudley...

...and if this message finds you,

I did not survive, so this is my legacy.

I have loved the pulpit

and I have loved the bottle.

I did my best to be a good husband,

a father.

I came up wanting.

So what do I have to say to you?

What mark do I have to leave behind?

We'll begin with the perfect omelet,

made with two eggs, not three.

Amateurs often add milk for density.

This is a mistake.

Come on!

I got you. Come on.

Damn you, Scoggs.

Where's Susan?

I'm done.

Brothers never make it out

of situations like this. Not ever!

Did you do it?

Where's Scoggins?

I hate to interrupt this moment

of burgeoning intimacy...

...but can we get the f*** out of here?

- Is this the only way?

- Exits are flooded.

Whole place is sinking.

It's this way or no way at all.

You can bring on the good news

anytime now.

Sharks are attracted to churning water,

bright colors.

These extinguishers will be a distraction.

What about us?

The vest'll bring you up too fast.

Your lungs'll pop like a balloon.

You weren't the sunny kid in your class.

I never went to class.

How far to the surface? Sixty feet?

There's nothing to it.

Exhale on the way up,

and get the hell out of the water.

I got to equalize the pressure

before we blow the air lock.

I got to let the room fill up with water.

It'll only take a few seconds.

You ready?

No.

Not in the least.

"Though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death...

"...I shall fear no evil...

"...for Thou art with me...

"...Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.

"Surely goodness and mercy shall

follow me all the days of my life..."

...because I carry a big stick...

...and I'm the meanest motherf***er

in the valley.

Two sharks down, Lord.

One demon fish to go.

Can I get an "amen"?

Amen!

- I can't hear you!

- Amen!

Give me an "amen"!

- Stay with us, Lord!

- Amen.

Okay, hold on three! Ready?

One! Two! Three!

Swim!

Oh, my God!

It's the devil, you know.

He'll be okay if we can get out of here.

Son of a b*tch.

What?

Those fences are titanium underneath,

but on top, they're just plain steel.

They've been herding us,

pushing us where they want.

Using us to flood the facility.

Oh, my God.

That's the answer to the riddle.

Because that's what

an 8,000-pound mako thinks about.

About freedom.

About the deep blue sea.

We have to kill her.

That's the first real smart thing

you've said all day.

Here we go.

Let's go.

We ought to get 2.5 sticks of dynamite

out of these flares.

From up here, you ought to be able

to see me spear it.

When I do, you take this end of this cable...

...hook it up to the positive side

of the boat battery.

And boom!

Damn! I can't get her!

She's too far away!

I know how to get her.

How?

Bait.

She may be the smartest animal

in the world...

...but she's still just an animal.

Come to Mama.

No!

Susan, don't!

Get out of the water!

All right, Lord...

Shoot it, Preach!

This is for Scoggins.

Shoot it!

Damn!

Blow it, Preach! Blow it!

The battery!

Blow it!

Do it!

Bring me some sushi!

Forty-five-foot shark...

...and you hit me.

Nice.

Could've been worse.

I could've let him eat your ass.

Carter, we're sinking, right?

Yeah.

Let me ask you something.

Are you sure it was just three sharks?

Yeah.

That's more like it.

Here comes the next shift.

Let me tell you, man...

...I quit this job.

Take me back to the ghetto.

Amen.
