Lake Placid 3 Page #4

He would never have done that.

He would have moved them

and taken them someplace safe.

ls she going to be okay?

l don't know, sweetie. l...

Try the phone again, please.

Okay. Okay, Connor,

we have to get Vica into the car

and get her to the hospital. Okay?

Yeah, but what if they come back?

Doesn't all this take

some of the fun out of it?

You know what? You're right.

l think that actually,

we should track their footprints

and sniff the ground

to see where they mark their territory.

All right, guys, close enough.

We'll let your predator instincts

take over from here, okay?

-Yep.

-All right.

This is the fun part.

Walt! Walt! Walt!

No. No. Get off of me.

-Hurry up.

-There's a crocodile.

-Walt!

-Come on, get her here.

No. Get off of me. Get off of me. Walt!

No, don't be an idiot.

Now get off!

Damn it. That ain't right.

That ain't anything close to right.

We need to get the hell out of here.

Yeah? To where?

Hey, you're the guide, you tell me.

-No. No. We can't just leave Walt.

-Of course we can.

Something just ripped him

to pieces back there.

But l know, let's all get back in the water.

You grab an arm, you grab a leg

-and l'll just bring up the rear.

-Shut up.

Shut up?

-Shut up? Shut up?

-Just calm down. Relax.

-Come on.

-You shut up!

Hey!

Charlie?

Hey, man, Tara needs you.

Somebody needs to check her for ticks.

Okay, Charlie. Enough's enough.

This isn't funny anymore.

Get your ass back here.

God. Which direction did he go?

Knowing Charlie, he's probably finding

a quiet spot to whack off.

Why did we have to bring him?

He gives me the creeps.

We shouldn't have brought either of them.

lt would have given us a chance to be alone

and get to know each other better.

So, that's what this is about, huh?

l thought it was pretty obvious.

You know, the first time l met you,

well, you had me after hello.

Look, let's find Charlie first, okay?

Then we can talk

about what other movie lines you know.

First you said you didn't like it out here,

and then it was too cold,

now you wanna waste your time

Iooking for Charlie goofball.

You certainly b*tch and moan a lot.

You know, l thought you'd be grateful

l asked you along,

considering the alternative.

You guys?

Charlie, is that you?

Mail order piece of crap.

lt doesn't work.

Here, this is for you.

This has got explosive shells in it.

And this, this is a shark stick.

Works like a shotgun, but under water.

One shot from this

will take the head right off a great white.

You're not a tranquilizer dart

sort of guy, are you?

Damn straight.

lf we run into this mythical ''crocodile''

of yours, let's get one thing straight.

l don't want any of your EPA,

endangered species crap.

-Are we on the same page?

-Yeah.

God, Charlie. If you wanna be

a Peeping Tom, l'll save you the trouble.

What the... Ellie, Aaron!

There's another one of those deer things.

What's that?

Where'd it come from?

l'm not even sure l heard it.

Ellie.

So, what do you think did this?

l bet it was a shark.

A big shark, a Megalodon.

A megalo-what?

What the hell have you been smoking?

That's Charlie Burman,

he's a college student.

He's here on a backpacking trip.

He's friends with this guy l know.

l came out here to find my girlfriend

to stop her from doing something stupid.

Yeah, well, it seems like coming out here

was already pretty stupid.

Sorry about your friend.

l hated him. He's an idiot and a pervert.

Yeah? Then l'm sorry he smells so bad.

So, what do we do now?

ln your case, l'd finish high school.

Until then, get back to the lake

and find our guns.

They're back.

Connor, come away from the window.

They can smell you through the glass.

-ls that true?

-l don't know, honey. Just...

-Connor.

-Dad!

Nathan!

Susan, stay away from the window!

The bathroom.

There's thick walls in the bathroom.

Help me with Vica.

Let them get closer.

Lay down. Here you go.

Five,

four, three...

Down, honey. Down.

...two, one.

Honey, it's fine. Stay here, okay?

-But, Mom...

-Connor!

Oh, my God.

-Nathan!

-Hey, you okay?

-Where's Connor?

-Dad!

-Connor! Hey, you okay?

-Yeah.

-Tony?

-Open up.

l officially owe you an apology.

Great. Now she's gone.

Where the hell is she?

Tara!

No. No. No! No!

She was... She was...

lt's okay. It's okay. Come on. Come on.

It's okay. It's okay.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

It's going to be okay.

Could be a gator.

l'm sure she's fine,

this damsel in distress of yours.

This is about another guy. Yeah.

She goes on a camping trip without you,

so you hire a hunting guide

to help you stalk her through a state forest.

Totally normal.

For a complete jealous psycho.

What she do,

forget her chastity belt at home?

lt's a little more complicated than that,

and it's not your damn problem.

Not my problem?

Hey, getting you all back in one piece

is my responsibility,

and l take it very seriously,

thank you very much.

So the least you could do

is drop your ''l got a stick

up my college educated butt'' attitude.

Yes, she came with another guy.

Damn, l'm good.

Hey, now guess what l found.

Now, before we all got unceremoniously

jacked from my boat,

we were following a tracking signal

from an elk.

Now that elk, it seems, is actually

passing through the digestive tract

of our gator friend.

l'm sorry to put it this way,

but predators go to where their food is.

So whatever killed smelly over there

knows where your girlfriend is.

Now, all we have to do is follow him. Okay?

Come on, baby. Come on, talk to Mama.

Yes.

We could go to that guy's cabin

across the lake, try to find some help.

Relax.

That guy who works for the state,

he'd know who to call.

We don't need any help, l can handle this.

lsn't this what you wanted?

A bit of time away from the world?

l wanted to forget about Brett for a few days.

Not get lost in the Land of the Lost.

Hell, at least if Brett was here,

he wouldn't give up on finding his friends.

Well, you seem to have forgotten

about him all right.

Look, l'm just trying to help. That's all.

Seriously? My best friend is missing.

We need to get help.

Nothing bigger than a trout?

l'd say that thing's

a little bigger than a goddamn trout!

l know this is just a job for you,

but everyone l have left is in this room,

and they're in danger because l trusted you.

lt's gotta be 25 feet long.

l screwed up. Is that what you wanna hear?

l'm sorry.

The big one, l have no idea.

It could have been dropped from the sky.

Yeah, dropped from...

The elk.

Three years ago, the EPA re-introduced elk

just down the river.

Predators move towards their food.

lt is possible that it didn't show up

on your sonar because it wasn't in the lake.

Question is, why'd they come back here?

l don't...

l mean, did the big one follow the elk

into the area?

l don't know.

lt's an answer for the big one,

but the smaller ones,

they've been here for months.

Talk to your son.
