Ice Sharks Page #2

---

It's just

a polar bear's lunch.

I want to collect

some samples to test.

Maybe the seals

are eating something

that's causing the bears'

erratic behavior.

And if you do

get attacked by

a man-eating polar bear,

you know I'll

dive in his way, right?

Idiot.

Pretty much, yeah.

I got tissue from at least

two different subjects here...

and neither of 'em are human.

Doesn't make any sense.

David, there's

something wrong here.

Yeah, there's an awful lot

of good meat left behind

for this just

to be a polar bear

gorging itself.

The hunter probably

scared him away, right?

Maybe.

What the hell is that?

What do you

make of this?

It looks like

a human fingernail.

Can you smell that?

That ammonia-like...

[ ice cracking ]

David, get away

from the water.

[ screaming ]

David!

Tracy!

Hey!

[ David screams ]

-Tracy:
David, grab the rope!

Come on. Grab the rope!

[ unintelligible dialogue ]

Male #2:
I got it!

Go! Go!

Male #2:
I got it!

[ starts engine ]

Hold on!

[ screaming ]

[ screaming ]

[ screaming ]

Oh, David,

David, are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Oh! Oh!

Run! Run!

Oh, no. No.

[ gasping ]

Oh, God, no. No. No.

Go.

Grab the knife.

Grab the knife.

Grab the knife.

Cut the rope!

Cut the rope!

Cut the rope!

Hurry!

Okay. Get on.

Go!

Yeah.

Go, go, go, go, go!

We need to get you inside.

Get me towels and

heated blankets now.

What happened?

Get his clothes off.

What's his core temperature?

I need to know if we need

to call for assistance.

Hold him. Hold him.

He's at 92.7.

That's hypothermic!

We need to keep him

warm right now.

Get his clothes off.

Let's get him upstairs

where it's

a little bit warmer

and less humid.

Come on. Get him up.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Watch your step.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[ music playing ]

[ crashing ]

Alright.

Okay.

Here. Drink this.

95.5. His temperature's

coming back up.

He's gonna be fine.

What happened

to you guys out there?

We were attacked

by a shark.

You were attacked

by what?

A shark.

There aren't

any sharks here.

Yeah, well,

we beg to differ.

Help me up.

Hold on.

Just slow down, man.

You guys start

from the beginning.

You went out looking

for the hunter's--

Yeah, yeah,

and we came across

the remains

of a shark attack

and saw the marks

on the ice

where he was dragged

into the water.

And, um, his fingernail

stuck in the ice.

And that's when

the shark attacked us.

And we left a snowmobile

on the ice.

Well, forget about

that snowmobile.

What--What did

the shark look like?

It--It looked

like a Greenland.

A Greenie?

That's impossible.

They're hundreds

of miles south of here.

I know,

but it sure

smelled like one.

Smelled like one?

Yeah.

Greenland sharks,

the, uh--their flesh

is rich in uric acid.

It makes them stink

like piss.

TRACY:
Exactly.

And the teeth I found

were similar,

just a lot sharper.

Doesn't make sense.

I mean, the--

the Greenies, they

don't move like that.

They're clumsy animals.

They almost lumber

through the ocean.

Feel free to take that up

with the shark, all right?

I mean, clearly these

are a fast, aggressive

species of sharks

that have evolved

from the Greenlands.

Hand me the map,

will you? Yeah.

The ice age one.

Look. They would

have got trapped here

2 million years ago,

after the last ice age.

With so little food,

they probably

had to become

the dominant species

and stalk prey

like polar bears

and other things

that were close

to the edge of the water.

How come

there haven't been

any recorded events?

With all the ice

that's been melting,

they never came

this far south,

not until now.

[ clanging ]

The water would be

churning down there

if we were being

hit below by a shark.

Val's right.

Whatever it is,

I highly suggest

we give the moon pool

a wide berth.

I'm just going

to stay out of

the MPR altogether.

We also need to get

on the radio and warn

Sammy about the sharks

so he knows

what to look for

on the way back.

I'll also radio Aput and

let them know what we found.

Yeah.

Barrow, this is

the Oasis Station.

Do you read?

Oasis Station, I read.

Is that you, Tracy?

Sure is.

We've had an incident.

We're okay,

but we have a theory

about what's happening

to the hunters.

Go ahead, Oasis.

We believe

it's shark attacks.

I want to leave it

at that for now,

but we think

that people,

bears, anything close

to the water's edge

is their prey.

Shark attacks?

Yes, shark attacks.

Can you issue a bulletin

to warn people

to stay away

from the water's edge,

especially on ice shelves

and small boats,

for the next few days

until we have some time

to figure this out?

I'll issue it, but

I can't say anyone

will follow it.

Thanks, Aput.

Oasis out.

That's the best we can do

without more info.

Oasis Station to Sammy.

Oasis Station to Sammy.

Do you copy,

little brother?

[ static ]

[ shuts off engine ]

[ wind blowing ]

Well, you are

not malfunctioning.

Ice is just

really thin here.

[ radio static ]

Oasis Station to Sammy.

Oasis Station to Sammy.

Radio check.

[ rumbling ]

[ rumbling ]

[ grunting ]

[ screaming ]

TRACY:
Oasis to Sammy. You know

protocol. Radio check.

Oasis to Sammy.

Quit fooling around.

You out there?

Oasis to Sammy.

Are you reading me?

Oasis to Sammy.

Radio check.

Come in!

Do you read?

Come on, Sammy.

Oasis to Sammy.

Do you hear me?

Oasis to Sammy.

Oasis to Sammy.

Let me try.

Oasis to Sammy.

Oasis to Sammy.

Sammy, do you copy?

Oasis to Sammy.

Oasis to Sammy.

Sammy, do you copy?

Samuel,

answer the radio.

Michael, he could just be

away from his radio, okay?

[ rumbling ]

MICHAEL:

What now?

TRACY:
This is

lasting too long

to be an ice shift.

DAVID:
Eddie.

Eddie.

I'm gonna go see

if Sammy's okay.

Eddie, I'm gonna

come with you.

All right, cool.

It's gonna be

all right.

David.

MICHAEL:

What are they doing?

Hang on.

Oh, no.

Huh?

What's going on?

They're breaking the ice

around the station.

If we don't

do something now,

we're gonna drift

out to sea.

Go, go, go, go.

Mayday! Mayday!

This is the Oasis Station.

We are in need

of assistance.

Put this on the back of the

snowmobile.

All right, Got it.

TRACY:

Mayday! Mayday!

this is

the Oasis Station.

We are in need of...

[ revving engine, ice cracking ]

No.

Eddie.

Eddie. Eddie.

You're starting to slip.

Get off that snowmobile!

Eddie, keep pulling

the snowmobile

closer to the shelf.

I got it!

[ Ice cracking ]

Try the PA.

Eddie.

[ feedback ]

Eddie, you gotta

get off that thing, man,

You're gonna fall

in the water.

[ Ice cracking ]

Eddie, there's

one headed right

for you, man.

Get off that thing.

Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie, get off

the snowmobile!

[ Michael yells ]

Oh, my God!

He's gone!

Eddie.

Eddie!

We have got to stop

these things.

Then we're gonna have

to make a lot of noise.

What about

the inflatable rafts?

Maybe we can send them
