Ghost Shark Page #4

It's just entering.

The door's already open.

Dude, that's a felony,

and I don't do felonies.

It's a misdemeanor, baby.

- Grow a pair.

- Yeah.

You grow a pair.

Hello!

Hello!

Yo, Ave, check it out.

It's a basement.

Oh, hell.

[Cameron] What are we coming

down here to accomplish?

[Blaise] Be careful before the

stone breaks this place is old.

[Chattering]

- You complain too much, man.

- What's the whole point?

What's your friggin' reason?

Come on.

Ava, come on.

- Man, just shut up.

- You shut up.

This is one creepy ass dude.

I think this guy might have

more problems than we do.

- Whoa!

- Don't touch that!

Mr. Finch!

I'm sorry but your door was open.

[Slurred speech] It's

still breaking and entering.

- Hey.

- Watch it, man.

[Drink pouring]

[Bottle clatters on table]

You're here about the shark, aren't you?

So you do know what's

going on, don't you?

- Maybe.

- Well, good.

Maybe you can help us stop it.

Stop it?

The cave brings things back

it don't take them away.

- Cave?

- Yes! The cave!

Damn it! The cave!

[Scoffs]

[Snores]

It's all connected.

They wanna keep it a secret.

But I know.

Allison...

Is that you?

[Snoring]

Mr. Finch?

Why'd he call you Alison?

- All right. Help me lift him.

- Come on.

- What are we gonna do with this guy?

- Let's get him onto the bed.

[Grunting]

[All grunting]

Let's get him a little further up.

Hold on. There.

Okay.

[Panting]

- Dude, that was productive.

- [Snoring]

[Water running]

Hey, this is Ava. Leave a message.

Where the hell are

you? The cops were here.

They say you're interfering

with their investigation.

They practically water-boarded me.

Just call me or text me or something

before I have a total freak-out, okay?

[Sighs]

[Screaming]

[Screaming stops]

[Eerie music]

Cicely?

Cicely? Cicely!

Oh, no. Cicely!

[Screams]

Come here! Come here! Come here!

- Are you okay?

- Come on! Come on!

- Ow. Ow! Ow!

- What happened?

Come on! Come on! Go, go, go, go!

- What is it? What happened?

- Ow! Ow! Ow!

It's so deep. Cameron, get in here!

- What happened?

- Ow!

- Get something to wrap it!

- This!

Grab that! Put that on her leg! [Yells]

- [Male reporter] Mr. Mayor! Mr. Mayor!

- Calm down, ladies and gentlemen.

- Calm down.

- [Woman] What is going on?

Okay, Sheriff Martin and Mayor

Stahl will be confirming...

- No sign of Cameron yet.

- Y'all should've found him by now.

[Woman on radio] Paging Sheriff Martin.

Finding your son is the least

of my concerns right now.

We're getting more 911 calls

than the dispatcher can handle,

not that I have the deputies

respond to them all anyway.

Maybe it's time we let people

know what we saw on that video.

What, and incite a mass panic?

Frank, a car was hot-waxed with the

entrails of the woman washing it.

I'd say the town's already panicked.

Henry, prepare a press release for me.

It should read, "Public

safety is my primary concern".

Everything that can

be done is being done".

Release the video. No comment

speculating on what we think it is.

- Let them see it for themselves.

- Yes, Sir.

And get Ava Reid on the phone.

Tell her to bring

Cameron here right now,

or this is gonna be the

worst day of her life.

- [Woman] Sheriff Martin, line one.

- The worst.

- Today can get worse?

- Yes.

Hello. Martin here.

Hello? Hello?

[Mutters]

- She needs help.

- Oh ah, no!

She needs to see a paramedic!

- I'm fine.

- You see? She's fine.

- No, she's not.

- Ow.

- Don't be a baby.

- Seriously, it looks way worse than it is.

Oh, yeah? Well get up and

let's see you try and walk.

See? I'm fine.

Hey, look at this.

It's a news article from nine years ago.

Finch might not be as

crazy as we thought he was.

So that's Alison. That's Finch's wife.

It says she drowned in a cave near the

lighthouse when the high tide came in.

I remember that.

Lot of people thought

that he killed her.

So that must be the cave

that he's talking about.

Guess so.

Where did we find my Dads boat?

And where did that thing first show up?

Practically on Finch's doorstep.

We saw Finch yesterday

leaving the Maritime Museum.

They have all kinds of stuff

about that lighthouse there.

Stuff that's not online.

- It's better than nothing.

- I got it!

- What?

- It appears in water.

Any water, right?

So maybe it can't manifest itself

unless there's water around.

Maybe all we gotta do is stay

dry and it'll leave us alone.

[Siren]

Oh, no. Please no.

[Siren]

Come on. We gotta go. Come on.

Wait up.

Wait up. I'm coming with you.

No. No, no, no. I need you to stay here.

Seriously?

Just do this for us. Please.

- [Knocking on door]

- Come on.

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

All right, good, good. Wait till we're

gone and then answer the door, okay?

And we were not here.

Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff's Department. Open up.

Come on. Nice and easy.

Ugh.

Go. Go. Go. Go.

Let's go.

Go, go. Go. Go.

Stop the vehicle.

Turn off the engine.

Back so soon?

Told you they're not here.

You're welcome to take another look

around if you want. Door's unlocked.

Aren't you a little young to be driving?

Not according to the D.M.V.

[Sighs]

You wait right here.

[Sighs]

It's all connected.

It's all connected. It's the cave.

It's the cave. It's the cave!

[Laughter]

It brings things back.

You have to help us stop it.

My God.

They're going after it.

[Cameron] I say we make a run for it.

I got the keys to my Dad's

cabin in Ridgeway right here.

You guys ever been to Ridgeway?

Running away isn't gonna do anything

except get more people killed.

We have to destroy it.

How no one's going to listen to us?

We're running out of options here.

[Explosion ]

What the hell was that?

Building demolitions.

Part of my Dad's new

Smallport initiative.

Oh, yeah? How's that going?

Just drive.

[Tires screech]

Thought you quit.

I did. You guys go ahead. I'll catch up.

I'm gonna look over here, all right?

Ava. Come look at this.

Wow. Listen to this.

Look at what it says here.

"Built in 1897 after hundreds of

ships crashed in it's shallow reef".

Huh. I guess that's why they

call it Dead Man's Point.

You guessed wrong.

Hi. Do you know anything about

the cave by the lighthouse?

Ah, you think what's going

on in town has something

to do with the old

legends and ghost stories?

More or less.

Have either of you heard of the

legend of the lost Roanoke colony?

Yeah, those colonists in the Carolinas.

Who all just vanished without a

trace a couple hundred years ago.

Very good.

What if I told you that a

similar thing happened right here?

I would ask you why I

never heard of it before.

Because the town elders did

their best to keep it a secret.

Before 1803, Smallport was the

Spanish province of Ensenada Cabo.

Now...

This diary...

Happens to be the most

detailed documentation,

of the history in this area at the time.

And just like Roanoke...

The entire population vanished.

Into thin air.
