because he was slow, too.

And the last one was big girl Martha,

Martha Stewart,

pretty tough bird in her own right.

How do you know she's female?

She got a mean streak

I ain't never seen in no man.

Also...

I caught George Jr trying to stick it to her

one night on the shore.

I wonder which one of these darlings

Ahmad took out.

- Struthers.

- Pardon me?

I just said, they're adorable names.

Cram it, fancy pants.

You think I'm some dumb cluck.

- I know what you're trying to do to them!

- Sadie, Sadie, Sadie, Sadie.

Tell me, what have you been

feeding these things?

What is it?

It's nothing. Go back to sleep.

Oh, my gosh. That's vile.

Don't tell me you're

one of those vegetarians.

No, that meat is pumped

so full of growth hormones,

I'm surprised those crocs are still alive.

Well, I can't afford three tons

of Kobe beef a month.

My Social Security cheques

ain't what they used to be.

This is all you been feeding them, Sadie,

beef rejected by the FDA?

Pretty much.

I've noticed they've been

a lot hungrier lately.

Yesterday Martha ate a big rat off my dock.

We gotta go out and find those kids.

Sadie, listen, I want to thank you

for giving me this information.

I know it couldn't have been easy for you.

When I do what it is I have to do,

I promise I'll be as humane as possible.

Good luck.

My babies sure as hell won't be

so humane with you.

Larry, come on, dude, wake up.

Larry! Wake up, dude.

- It's your turn to be lookout.

- Yeah, okay, fine.

Keep your eyes peeled for that thing.

Wake us up if it goes back into the lake.

- I know. I'm not stupid.

- Lf you say so.

Oh, no. Scott! Scott?

Wait a minute. That's not Scott.

I recognise that sneaker.

That's Thaddeus, old man Sanders' boy.

- Poor kid.

- Oh, my God.

What is this thing?

It's a nest, which means

mama croc is nearby and she's territorial

and she's hungry and she's ticked.

- Sounds like the ex-wife.

- It's not funny.

We need to get these eggs out of here

as soon as possible before they hatch.

Yeah, let's split up.

Struthers, stay here with Emma

and help her get the eggs out.

Get them out?

I think we should blow them up.

Not a chance.

We need to get these eggs out of here

and back to the lab as soon as possible.

Well, whatever the hell it is you do,

do it in a hurry.

Okay, well, we'll meet you back

at the campsite. You go find Scott?

All right. Give me the grenade launcher.

Give me the grenade launcher!

You two be careful.

- You hear me?

- Yeah.

Scott!

Larry, you okay?

Don't worry, guys. I'm fine.

- Yo, this ground is really soft.

- Larry, don't move.

That's not the ground.

What the heck are you talking about?

Don't do that.

Oh, sh*t!

Run!

Scott! Anybody, can you hear me?

Now's our chance.

If we hop down and run,

we can make it to the road

before it gets back,

and then we're home free.

- I'm not going down there. No way.

- We can't stay up here forever.

Who knows when help's gonna get here?

It's now or never.

- You think we can make it?

- Yeah.

- Okay. You first.

- All right. Keep an eye out.

Okay. Come on.

Wait. It's still here.

We're gonna do it on three.

- What if it catches us?

- It won't.

- I'm scared, Scott.

- Don't be. Ready?

One, two, three.

Daisy.

- Wait! She'll be okay. We gotta run now!

- No!

- What about Daisy?

- We'll come back for her.

Scott!

Scott!

Get down.

You two okay?

- Yeah. Yeah, we're fine. But Thad and...

- Yeah, I know. I saw him.

I thought for a second he was you.

Is there anybody else out here with you?

- Long story.

- Tell me on the way out of here.

We gotta... We gotta leave.

There's still another one of those

damn things around here somewhere.

Come on.

This nest would explain

their sudden aggression.

Protecting the young is serious business.

Well, that's truly fascinating.

But right now I'm more concerned

with the serious business

of protecting me own arse,

so let's finish this up, huh?

Here, let me give you a hand with that.

- You all right?

- Me knees, an old injury.

- Hunting?

- Tango lessons, actually.

Sadie! Open up. Hi.

You must be Sheriff Jr,

I guess you didn't get eaten.

You know your dad's a dumb doofus,

don't you?

Yeah.

- He's a nice boy, Sheriff.

- Thank you...

Focus. Listen, I need these two

to stay here until backup arrives.

And I need to go get something

out of your freezer. Thank you.

Pretty soon I'm gonna have to start

charging you rent.

- Send a bill to the State.

- Come on in.

Just make sure you wipe your feet

before you...

Oh, Lord.

Look at that. Raised in a barn?

Come on in.

Wait! Dad, please let me help you.

I don't have time to explain this

to you again right now, son.

What if you don't make it back? Then what?

If anything were to happen to you out there

I'd never be able to forgive myself.

It'd be a hell of a lot worse

than me not making it back.

Look,

you saved Kerri's life. I'm real proud of you.

But you gotta stay here.

You gotta take care of her.

She needs you right now

a whole lot more than I do.

Besides, I think she kind of likes you.

She does like me, doesn't she?

Somebody's getting older.

Somebody's getting smarter.

I'll see you, son.

- Dad?

- Yes!

Good luck.

Good luck to you, too.

Are you sure this is a good idea?

I mean, I think we was pretty well situated

back at the campsite.

Well, can you see the nest?

No. But I can see the Sheriff.

Riley! Over here!

I got this out of Sadie's freezer

to use as bait.

The kids will be safe there.

What the hell are you doing here?

I thought I told you

to wait back at the camp.

Well, Struthers was gonna get up

high enough to see the nest, but...

Come on, Struthers, stop loafing.

Get up there.

Come on, I got a plan.

- Happy climbing, Struthers.

- He's got a plan.

Well, I'm sure it's better than yours.

A good Scout always has a Plan B.

So, do you really think it's gonna eat

one of these things?

It doesn't actually have to eat

one of these things.

It just has to get close enough

so that I can ruin its day

when I push this button.

Besides, anything's better than hoping

Struthers gets off a good shot, right?

Come on.

Thank you.

- I didn't know anybody lived out here.

- Yeah. Just me.

But I get visitors from time to time.

It must get lonely.

Do you have any kids?

You could say so.

Two of them died recently.

They were good boys.

I loved them a whole lot.

Three of my friends died out there.

They were eaten by these big,

ugly monsters.

- Ugly? Is that so?

- Yeah.

You should've seen them.

Big, nasty creatures. They were vicious.

Pretty young girls.

Nothing, dear. Scott?

- Will you do an old lady a favour?

- Sure.

I don't like it out here.

I wanna go back inside.

She's right. It's probably safer

inside your house, Mrs Bickerman.

Okay. Don't be such wusses.

I want to show Kerri something

and then we'll head back in.

Look. Look. See?

Those are white perch.

- Excitable little things, aren't they?
