We heard this noise

like a boom.

And when we looked,

there was this cloud of smoke.

That was the explosion.

One minute they were having

a wonderful time, and the next--

You've no idea what

could've caused this?

I don't know what

could've done that.

Were they

off-islanders?

I don't know.

Can we go now?

[ Ed ]

Chief?

Chief Brody,

c-can we go, please?

Yes.

Thank you, Tina.

We've been over this

a dozen times.

I know, I know!

How much longer?

Until we

find something.

I'm cold, bored.

You're bored?

Holy sh*t!

Jesus, this is heavy!

[ Red ]

Aw, sh*t. Drop it.

Well, what is it?

Drop it.

It's a power line.

- Oh, terrific.

- Let me untangle it.

We don't want a power

blackout on the island.

Let's get out of here

before we do find something.

That's your third

smoke already.

Good coffee.

Try a donut.

I want

Fruit Loops.

Eat Cheerios.

You eat Cheerios.

I want Fruit Loops.

You eat Cheerios.

What are you guys

up to today?

I don't know about him,

but I'm goin' sailin'.

Again?

What else is

there to do?

How 'bout that job you

were supposed to get?

Do I have to?

He doesn't really have to.

I mean, this is his vacation.

I wonder where I

left my date book?

Good morning.

Everybody up early today?

Something going on

I should know about?

Lots.

Look,

this kid is 1 7.

We've talked about him

getting a job before.

I know, you're right.

I wish you could spend

some time with him,

take a half-day off.

How can I? I'm in the

middle of a boat accident.

I've only got three regular

cops and a secretary.

And a deputy who's fallen

in love with the police launch.

And here's another one.

What is it about this place?

Everybody's a boat freak.

It's an island.

[ Mike ]

I'm goin'.

Hold it.

Wait a minute.

I don't want you to go out

too far if it gets rough.

We've had a lot of

trouble out there.

Okay. I'll see you later.

I mean, be careful.

I'll be careful.

I'll be careful.

Tina, come back here.

No.

Come on.

Give me my hat.

Double nope.

Come on, Tina.

I wonder why they

decided to move?

Too hot in the lighthouse.

Too hot for those two?

I can't believe it.

Aaah!

Ugh.

I called you as soon

as I heard about this...

because I hear the bites

are big, really big.

Well, after we've looked,

we'll talk.

All right.

[ Hendricks ]

Here it is. Could you

move back, please?

Could we have a little air?

That's right, move back.

Please, just move back.

Thanks.

Jesus.

What do you think?

First things first.

Tip of the snout,

please.

Length, seven and

a half meters.

Seven and

a half meters.

Correct.

You better check

the bite radius.

The what?

The shape

of the mouth.

Whale's mouth?

Shark's mouth.

What shark?

The shark

that did this.

We don't

know that, do we.

That's what we're

here to find out.

And we will.

- I can't hear you if

you're going to whisper.

- 1 1 1 centimeters.

I have had some

experience with sharks.

Oh, have you?

Yeah.

And I think a--

I think a great white

might've done this.

Carcharodon carcharias?

Right.

What makes you think there

might be one in these waters?

Well, it's obvious

that, uh--

That a big fish took

a bite out of this big fish.

This is a mammal,

not a fish.

Don't quibble with me.

Is it a shark bite or isn't it?

Possibly.

Then again, this is

a killer whale.

It would have to be a shark

of considerable size.

Look, we know that, that sharks

are attracted by blood.

And thrashing about.

And sound.

Sound?

Sound like sonar, radar.

They hone in on unusual sounds,

irregular sounds,

almost any rhythmic

low-frequency vibration.

That means that there

could be one around.

Not necessarily.

These wounds could have

been inflicted 1 5 miles

out to sea or more.

None of them were

immediately fatal.

Currents could have carried

the body ten miles further.

We got a hell of

a tide this month.

Will you just take care

of the crowd, please?

Dad?

Mr. Hendricks, will you

take this down, please?

No more sailing today, okay?

And I'd like you to

come back with me.

We came out in my boat.

Yeah, but Andy

will take it back.

I got a date.

She'll understand.

No, she won't.

Mike, for Christ's sakes,

give me a break here, will ya?

...tissue attacks.

It's either a great white

or another killer whale.

Well, I'd like

to know which.

Well, it's impossible for me to

tell when the body's like this.

This animal has been ashore

for 1 0 or 1 2 hours and

drifting for a day at least.

Every little nibbler

in the sea's taken a bite.

I know that

dolphins communicate.

I mean, they send signals.

You don't think that

if a shark was destroyed,

that another shark could,

could come and--

Sharks don't take things

personally, Mr. Brody.

Dad, can I

please have my--

No.

Hey, look, don't worry about it.

I'll take it back and tie it up.

Bye, Mike.

See you later.

I'm sorry. Bye.

It'll be okay, Mike. I'll see

you tomorrow, all right?

I appreciate it.

Thanks.

[ Buoy Clanging ]

Larry. Larry,

wait a minute.

[ Larry ]

I'm showing summer rentals.

I think we have a hell of

a good season going for us.

That's swell, Larry, but I

have to talk to you alone.

We're alone.

I think we may have

another shark problem.

Are you serious?

You bet I'm serious.

I've got a half-eaten

whale on the beach.

I've got two

persons missing.

This whale has got a bite

out of it about this big.

[ Larry ]

Martin, no one has seen

a shark. Be realistic.

I think the selectmen

should know about it.

I know it's just a feeling,

but you've got to understand.

Larry, for Christ sakes,

I not only have this attack,

but I've got, I've got

two water-skiers--

A tragedy,

but a boating accident.

No fin, no sharks.

Nothing but

a boating accident.

Their boat's still missing.

We have a lot of deaths in

these waters that never turn up.

Are they all

shark victims?

Maybe they are.

- Oh, bullshit.

- Bullshit?

Is it bullshit, I got

a whale on the beach

with a bite in it this big?

What am I, an ass?

When you called me,

I called Elkins and her bosses.

Nothing she saw

is proof of anything.

So that means we're not

gonna do anything, huh?

Martin,

don't press it this time.

Well, I've got to

get back to work.

Okay.

Okay, Larry, but you just

remember this conversation.

You just

remember it!

Aaah!

Chief?

Yeah?

Chief?

Hi. Missed you

at the funeral home.

Santos said

you'd be here.

Yeah. Christ,

what a mess.

You didn't miss much.

Positive I.D.?

Well, we're pretty sure

it was the woman aboard

the boat all right.

[ Phone Ringing ]

Yeah?

Thank you, Operator.

Just keep trying.

Anything new on

those two divers?

Nothin'.

I think we oughta keep

sightseers away from there.

Did you take a look at

that stuff in that box?

No.

How 'bout that camera?

There might be something in it.

Yeah, right.

Why don't you take it over to

Fogarty's and get it developed.

I'll do it first thing

in the morning.

Why not now?

It's too late.
