Ghost Shark Page #5

Maria, who wrote this...

Was convinced that spiritual

forces were responsible.

Wait. What do you mean "spiritual"?

Supernatural.

Ghosts.

Do you believe it?

No. No, it was more likely

a plague of some kind.

And Maria herself was most likely

infected by the disease too.

I'm betting that the stories in here

were just fevered hallucinations.

So where does the cave come in?

Ah, Maria's journal begins after

some of the infected were rounded up,

brought to the cave, and executed.

Maria writes that

soon after the murders,

the angry dead Rose up

and ravaged the town.

The journal cuts off in the

middle of the last entry.

"Anyone who dies in the cave

violently will rise again".

[Laughs]

Careful.

What I'm about to show you is

the companion piece to the Memoir.

A Grimoire, which is a book of

spells that gives very detailed

instructions on how to send

vengeful spirits into hell.

It's gone.

What was supposed to be here?

The Grimoire, the book that

was in this display case.

He was acting even

stranger than usual but I

never thought he would

do something like this.

- Who was it?

- The lighthouse keeper. Darnell Finch.

He was the only other

person who was in here today.

Finch.

[Fire alarm]

The exhibits.

The floor.

Help me with this tarp.

What happened?

Hey, Cameron.

- What did you do, man?

- I didn't do anything!

It wasn't my fault!

Knock it off!

- I should punch you in the face right now.

- Leave it. Leave it.

[Cameron] Then do it, tough guy.

You guys, behind you!

Whoa. Aah!

- Not the lighthouse.

- Don't do it!

Cameron, run!

Come on, man! Come on!

Come on!

Cam! Cam, get up!

- Come on!

- Get up!

Oh, my God. He's coming, man!

Aah!

- Cam!

- Come on!

[Sirens]

The city's in a mass panic. That's

fine. I totally understand all that.

But election is coming up.

Okay, Sheriff?

If I loose my job,

you loose your job too.

- That's what you're worried about?

- Yes. Yes.

[Screaming]

Henry?

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

[Sighs]

[Woman] 911. What's your emergency?

Hi. Um, we have two people dead

here at the Maritime Museum.

- The Maritime Museum?

- Yes.

Stay put. We're sending an

officer to your location.

Tell them to turn off the

sprinklers before they go in.

You've got to be kidding me.

What are you doing? You can't drive.

I can drive. I just

don't have my license yet.

You need to go home.

Where's Cameron?

It's none of your business.

Now just please... just

get your ass back home.

Why? It's not any safer there?

It's a lot safer there

than where we're going.

Let me help.

You can help me by laying

low and staying dry, okay?

Will you take her home, please?

Yeah. Where you going?

We're about to ride into a hell storm,

and I don't want her riding shotgun.

What happened to Cameron?

Meet me at the lighthouse, okay?

Are you sure it's a good idea?

No, but Finch has the book, and I

think it's time for an intervention.

Okay.

Oh, dear God.

Are you sure?

No.

Right. I'll tell him.

Cameron Stahl. Leave a message.

Frank?

- We found Cameron.

- Well, it's about damn time.

No, Frank. We've got two people

dead at the Maritime Museum.

Cameron's one of 'em.

I'm sorry.

Is that charter boat

still down at the docks?

Ray's boat? Yeah, I think so. Why?

Get your gear. We're going fishing.

Frank!

Arlene, try and hold off

Armageddon till I get back.

Officer, we're not getting any answers.

The Mayor's not talking to anybody...

- The Mayor!

- Frank!

Frank, hold on a

second. Hold on a second!

Frank! You are not thinking straight.

No, I get it now. It's the curse.

I'm gonna hunt that son of a

b*tch down on it's own turf.

- Me and you, Sheriff.

- This is crazy.

You'll get your revenge,

Frank, but right now...

Revenge? You think I'm

worried about revenge?

I don't want revenge.

I want justice.

Finch!

Finch! Finch!

I know you have it!

We need to talk!

Ah, you gotta be kidding me.

Guess the Fire Department

didn't get the memo.

Hey! Get out of the water!

Move!

They don't look very nice.

I got this. Kids listen to me.

You're in a lot of danger, all right?

- You gotta get out of the water now.

- What's your problem, punk?

I'm trying to help you, all

right? There's a shark and...

I know it sounds crazy,

all right? You gotta go!

I want some of what y'all smoking.

Listen to me, kid, you gotta get

your friends and you gotta leave, now!

Y'all need to leave.

Okay.

[Tires screech, horn honks]

Ugh.

[Coughs]

You all right?

Come here. Come here. Come on.

- We got a little problem.

- We got a bigger one.

Come on.

[Music]

I wanna see this damn thing for myself.

Me too. But I don't know what

we're expecting to find out here.

Well, it started here, so

we're gonna finish it here.

What if it doesn't show?

Just keep looking.

[Sighs]

Damn it.

I knew you'd come. You

got a real stubborn streak.

You found it.

Mm, the solid portion of him anyway.

Hey, that's the book from the museum.

Hey! What's it to you?

I need it. To stop the shark.

Well, why do you think I stole it?

I wasn't sure.

To find a way to kill the

shark without hurting Alison.

Your wife's dead.

Wrong.

Well, then where is she?

Why is she here?

Shut up.

[Mutters]

No.

[Reading foreign language]

That means, uh...

That means, "a spirit can be sent back

to the netherworld by using a talisman".

Made from the object that killed it.

[Reading foreign language]

[Speaking foreign language]

Hmm!

So we have to use this?

Better hope that was the kill shot.

Nuh-uh.

Your daddy brought this

horror into our world.

You get to send it back.

Seen anything yet?

He knows we're coming.

Huh?

I said he's scared. He

knows we got his number.

The number of the beast.

- Frank, that doesn't even make sense.

- Shut up and start chumming.

I knew I shouldn't have come out here

with you. You've lost your damn mind!

I said start chumming.

We don't need to chum, we are the chum.

All we need is a will to live

and that thing is coming after us.

That's the point. In order to kill

it, you gotta be willing to die.

It's over, Frank.

I'm turning this boat around right now.

You wanna run that by me again?

Get back to chumming

before I blow off your head.

Gary!

Aah!

Hey, pee-wee!

Maybe you ought to call it.

What, like hey fishy, fishy?

Oh, please.

Just give me the damn thing.

Like this, here check this out.

[Whistles]

Whoa. Easy, psycho.

Why did you bring her here?

We didn't have a choice, all right, what

the hell are you doing in the water?

We know how to kill it.

How?

With this, buddy.

You're going to stab a ghost to death?

Yeah. Something like that.

Whoa! There it is! There it is.

Get out there.

Ava! Ava, get out of the water!

No, no, you stray

right there, sweetheart.

- What are you doing?

- You're doing just fine.

Ava!

Ava! What are you...

get out of the water!

- Whoa!

- It worked!

Amazing!

Aah!

[Music]

You all right?

Come on, sis. How do you feel?

So it's not as easy as I thought.
