Empire of the Sharks Page #4

---

See, all I need is, uh...

...to record her brain waves

while she's interacting with the sharks.

Then we can look through the recordings,

and maybe I can decipher her method.

You have my permission to do it.

I mean, it's gonna take a minute.

In theory, it should be pretty simple...

- ...but it's gonna take a minute...

- Just be quick about it.

Without her knowledge, this thing is useless.

What I want is more

than just how she did it...

...but I want to know

what her capabilities are.

We can see she could be defensive,

but can she also attack?

If you want to save your people...

...you need to do more.

I'm not here to collect tribute.

I am here under orders of Ian Fien.

On his command,

I will release our army of sharks...

...who will destroy your city.

Now, this is a rightful...

...action by the authority of Ian Fien...

as he does have dominion

of all those living on the water...

...so nothing you can say or do...

...will stop me.

Prepare to die.

If you could just be patient for a moment.

I'm waiting for his command.

Thank you.

Willow, I'm going to give you a task.

I'm going to ask you to have the sharks...

...attack a target...

...this target.

Now, if you want to save

your people, you'll do it!

Please, don't make me do this.

Do it.

Scrim, on my command...

...I want you to take them out.

10...

...9...

...8...

- ...7...

- Do it!

If it'll save them, do it!

...6...

...5...

...4...

- ...3...

- I can't!

You have to! My life doesn't matter!

Do it! Save them!

...2...

...1...

Scrim, stop the attack!

Return to Hawksbill now!

All hands on deck! We're coming about!

Sir, I need more time to capture the data.

We're getting somewhere.

A few more sessions and I'll have enough

information to decipher her method.

We'll have time for that later.

Right now, I have to deal with the intruder.

What about the prisoners?

Put them back in their cells,

and bring her pendant to me.

How close do we have to be

for your system to work?

Closer than this.

We get too close,

we'll be in range of their catapult.

- Did you say catapult?

- Catapult?

Medieval fort device

that utilizes two elastic bands...

Yeah, yeah, Caesar.

I know what a catapult is!

- I thought you'd been here before.

- We were in the submersible.

Got at least one catapult.

Takes about a minute to reload.

They don't have unlimited ammo, but if

we take a direct hit, we're going down...

...so we gotta stay out of range.

If you're gonna do something,

you better do it now.

I don't have the amulet. Even if I did know

how to use it, I don't have it anymore.

You have to try something.

You were given that for a reason.

I'm not a shark caller, but I don't think you

need to be near the amulet for it to work.

You just need some kind

of connection, and it can work.

You need to try.

All right.

Fire on my command.

Don't think we can get closer than this.

- I don't have a decent scan.

- What do you mean?

We're too far out.

You said they take a minute

to reload the catapult.

I'll draw their fire. While they're

reloading, you gotta get in close.

Otherwise, we have no idea

what the layout of the fortress is.

Take him out now!

Reload!

We got about 30 seconds,

and then we have to get out!

- We need to get closer.

- I'll do what I can, but this better work!

- This is not an exact science.

- What do you mean, not exact science?

Calibrate yourself.

How 'bout you calibrate

that machine of yours?

Silence, s'il vous plait!

Take out that vessel!

- Hey, you got it?

- No! We need to get closer!

We have to get out of here! Now!

We can't stay here any longer!

Have you got it?

- No! Nearly there!

- Come on, man!

Got it!

Okay.

Okay.

Hold on. This is gonna be close!

- Get the ladder!

- Drop the ladder!

- Open the gate!

- Okay, check.

Get Timor!

Take my hand! Take my hand!

Get Timor!

Nimue, get Timor!

Timor! Hold on!

We still have to go through with the plan.

I have a pretty good view here.

I'm not certain, but this looks like

a place where the prisoners are kept.

What about a way in?

This is where the sharks come in.

It's a portal.

There's not a good place to enter.

Is there any other option?

Unless they walk you through

in the front door... no.

Then that's the way I go.

You?

Toby's gone.

I'm getting Willow out.

They're too far out. Halt the trebuchet.

Think you can get away from me?

I've got something else for you.

I have a task for you.

I want you to prepare...

...the Kamikaze Shark.

- Yes, sir.

- Hah!

This thing isn't exactly sharkproof.

- I'll have to be fast.

- This is suicide.

You got any better ideas?

Didn't think so.

We've come this far. I'm not

giving up now. We have to get in there.

- What are you gonna do when you get inside?

- Might have a Mai Tai.

I'm taking the whole place down,

starting with the power.

Trust me.

They won't know what hit 'em.

I'm going with you.

How will you get back?

Let me worry about that.

Timor.

You can do it. Come on.

Come on.

- Something is coming our way.

- What is it?

I shouldn't be able to detect

sharks on the sonar...

...because they don't have air bladders.

It's definitely a shark, but it's peculiar...

...and it's moving towards us.

Sion. Sion, take the wheel!

Everyone, abandon ship!

Abandon ship!

Nearly on target.

No! No!

Sir.

She's doing something.

Just hold on. Hold on. Okay. Okay.

We can make it.

Bring 'em all to me.

It's working!

I'm getting lots of data here.

This is amazing.

It's beautiful.

There's only room

for one of us in this world.

Willow?

Timor, behind you!

Uh-oh.

I'm gonna saw your head off.

Hi.

Hi.

I hate to break up

this little reunion, but...

...would you like to get us out of here? Huh?

We have to get our people out of here.

I emptied the ballast tanks.

- The fortress is sinking.

- We'll... we'll commandeer their boat.

- They owe me a new one.

- The prisoners are this way.

Okay.

This way, come on!

Willow.

Get them out!

Are you doing this?

I don't know. I... I don't think

they're under anyone's control.

Timor, what about the desalination machine?

We should take the key components.

It's the one thing of value here.

We'll secure Scrim's boat. You go help them.

Okay. Okay. Come on, Sion. Come on.

- Can you stop this?

- I don't know. There's so many.

- You have to do something!

- I can't. He destroyed the amulet.

- The source of my power is gone.

- That's not true.

I don't even know how or what I did.

I... I can't do it!

The power resides within you.

The amulet resonated with your power.

It was never the source.

You are a shark caller.

You must believe in yourself.

Go.

Go!

Get her now!

When you went out on your own,

many thought to banish you.

We would have lost everything

if it wasn't for what you have done.

Thank you. Thank you all.

May the ocean embrace you.

This belongs to the shark caller.

It would have made your father proud.

Thank you.

Now your real training can begin...
