Lake Placid 2 Page #4

---

that was terrorising a small village.

Killed 16 natives.

I went looking for it

but I couldn't find anything for two weeks.

Then one night I hear this wild screaming

from the brush.

Ahmad had found it gnawing

on his mother's throat.

And even though he was barely a teenager

he jumped on it with his bare hands.

Actually put up a hell of a fight.

That's where he got the scars, huh?

I don't suppose there's any unsolved crime

in your town, is there, Sheriff?

I don't suppose there's any more

to your story, is there?

- I'm afraid so.

- All right.

Anyhow, I heard the commotion,

ran in and killed the beast,

and Ahmad's been with me ever since.

He comes in very handy

when there's a bit of dirty work to be done.

It sounds to me like you're taking advantage

of the situation.

All set, boss.

There it is.

- I've never seen anything like it before.

- What is it? Girls' panties?

Funny stuff.

You should take your act on the road,

maybe open up for Jeff Foxworthy.

I wish. That guy's hilarious.

So, where is it?

It's right there.

- Holy sh*t!

- It's creepy.

It looks like a grave or something.

Totally. Let's check it out up close.

I think that's a bad idea.

Yeah, Thad, I agree.

I think we should get outta here.

You both do what you want.

I'm checking it out.

Come on, you sissies.

Frankie, it's past 12:00.

"Sporting purpose, automatic shotgun. "

SPAS-12. That's what they call an acronym.

I know what an acronym is, Struthers.

You never cease to amaze me, Sheriff.

Anyway, I dropped a black bear

in Montana with this.

Six rounds at close range,

and it fell like a sack of nails.

You know, I never quite understood

the whole sport of the hunting thing.

I prefer sports where my opponent

knows they're playing.

That's a nice gun. What the heck is that?

This, my friend,

is a Milkor MGL-140 grenade launcher.

Hit point targets from 200 feet,

area targets from 400

and it doesn't matter

whether you're drunk or sober.

After seeing what we're up against,

that little baby just might come in handy.

Emma.

Hey. You all right?

You've got to snap out of it, girl.

You made a call.

You did what you thought was right.

I killed them.

Sure, they're dead.

They got chewed up into little pieces,

but they knew what was going on

when they went in.

They chose to do it anyway.

Come on, it's not your fault.

Look, the important thing right now is

that we stop this thing

before it kills either one of us, right?

It wouldn't be a bad idea

to make sure that Struthers

and his pal don't destroy this entire lake

in the process.

There's still some good fish in this lake.

Come on.

Dumb dog.

I told you to stay away from my feet, Larry.

You freaking perv!

Rachel, that's not me!

Larry! Help me!

I'm trying.

Oh, my God!

Rachel! I'm sorry!

Help! Help!

Did you two have a nice romantic walk?

Do you have to get my boat that bloody?

You want your crocodile dead?

You let Ahmad do what he does best.

He learnt from the best.

I've already got one mangled boat

to account for,

not to mention a deputy's family

I've got to deliver some bad news to.

I'll tell you what,

I'll pay the damages to your boat.

As to your deputy, well, that's your problem.

Yeah, I'll tell you what,

I'm responsible for that boat,

so I'm gonna drive it.

- Don't touch it.

- Whatever you say, Sheriff.

Just stay out of Ahmad's way.

You about ready?

I'd love to get this over with tonight

so we can fly out of this dump.

Don't know, boss.

Something about this one

doesn't seem right.

- We may not leave this place.

- Ahmad, come on, now, you must be joking.

We've been in a hell of a lot

worse places than this.

Remember them hammerheads

down in Ecuador,

or those snakeheads in...

What was that miserable place? Baltimore.

This is different.

Real big, real smart,

fast on water and on land...

Well, we just bring it to the surface,

let it wear itself out,

bring the plane in,

we get one clean kill-shot and it's over.

We'll be fine.

Here.

What do you think built this thing?

Probably a witch.

Wait, don't turn around.

She's right behind you.

Shut up, stupid.

Shut up, Thad.

There's a bunch more in there.

They look like eggs of some kind.

Maybe you should put them back.

You're crazy.

I've never seen an egg like this.

No, maybe he's right.

Maybe we should put them back.

Kerri, put it back, please.

Okay. What kind of egg is it, smart guy?

A chicken. I don't know,

a lizard or a snake, or something.

Thad, don't!

Yeah, not smart.

Wait. I think I know what kind of egg it is.

Scrambled.

Kerri, I'm outta here.

Oh, what's up? You scared, city boy?

Eggs ain't gonna hurt you.

No, but whatever laid it might,

you dumb hick.

Don't start something you can't finish.

It'll be your darkest hour.

Stop it, Thad! You're being such a juvenile!

Oh, I get it.

This turd rolls into town

and suddenly I'm a big prick?

You want her, Scottie boy? Take her.

I don't need no chick telling me what's what.

Besides, she's gonna head off

to college and leave me

for some study buddy

or something, anyways.

Oh, sorry.

Are you gonna run and tell its mama,

or are you gonna call your daddy

the Sheriff, so he can arrest me?

Thad, don't turn around.

There's a giant crocodile behind you.

Crocs in this lake? Real funny.

I'm not kidding.

You must think I'm an idiot.

Okay.

So, there's a giant crocodile behind me?

I'm real scared.

Could you guys go get me a tissue?

I think I'm gonna cry.

Hey, hey!

Let's go. Run!

Kerri, come on!

What happened? What is that thing?

My guess is whatever laid those eggs.

She is not happy.

This is Captain Jack Struthers,

your eye in the sky.

I have no visual confirmation.

How about you, sonar?

I don't have anything either.

Just making sure you're still awake.

I can't do this all by myself.

Struthers a pretty good pilot?

No, not really.

He's failed every flight test known to man.

He's crashed three times already.

Once was even into an elementary school.

Poor kids.

Basically, he's the last person on the Earth

who should be flying a plane.

What?

It was nothing.

Wait. I got it.

It's moving fast towards the boat.

It's coming right up behind you.

James, turn the boat around, and be careful.

Did you hear that, Ahmad? Be ready.

Wait. I lost it. I lost it.

Ahmad, I thought I told you

to check everything.

I did. It was working fine.

Yeah, well, obviously you didn't.

What are you waiting for? Do it!

Wait, it's slowing down. It's slowing down.

They need air.

Let the thing wear itself out.

I'll get it when it comes back up

to the surface.

Wait. I lost it.

I lost it.

It must have bit itself free.

That was a 1500-pound line. It's impossible.

Line snapped clean.

Harpoon must still be in him.

I think you'd better get

another harpoon ready.

There he is! Ahmad, stand down.

I paid for this operation. I get the kill-shot.

No, boss, we got it.

Here it comes.

Play all the games you want.

I'm coming for you, you scaly little bastard.
