OR AFTER "I TOOK A

SHOWER WITH SATAN"?

THAT WAS ACTUALLY ONE OF

OUR HIGHEST-RATED SHOWS,

AND I DOUBT THAT THIS

WOULD EVEN COME CLOSE.

WOULD IT HELP IF I

HAD SOME HORNS?

VERY FUNNY.

LOOK, THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU... A YOUNG BOY...

SAYING GOODBYE TO YOUR PARENTS

BEFORE THE CORONA

QUEEN DISAPPEARS

INTO THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

AND THEN, YEARS LATER,

THE SHIP RETURNS,

AND YOU GO ABOARD TO SAY

YOUR FINAL GOODBYE.

GO ABOARD?

WE'RE FLYING OUT TO THE

SHIP IN FOUR HOURS.

WILL YOU GO?

I DON'T KNOW.

LOOK-- LOOK, MR. ROBERTS,

LET ME BE STRAIGHT WITH YOU.

I NEED THIS STORY.

I THINK IT WOULD BE

GOOD FOR BOTH OF US.

HOW'S THAT?

I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK. I KNOW ABOU YOUR WORK IN PARAPSYCHOLOGY,

AND I KNOW ABOUT YOUR INTERES IN THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.

WE TALK THE SAME LANGUAGE.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I SEE THE PARANORMAL AS A

FIELD OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY.

YOU SEE IT AS A WAY TO

EXPLOIT PEOPLE'S FEARS.

I'VE SPENT THE LAST 15

YEARS FIGHTING AGAINS

THE SORT OF STORIES

THE MEDIA FABRICATES.

AND BESIDES, MY INTERES IN THE TRIANGLE IS--

IT'S PURELY PERSONAL.

IT'S NOT SANCTIONED

BY THE INSTITUTE.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME THA YOU AREN'T INTRIGUED.

I WOULD BE LYING

IF I SAID I WASN' ITCHING TO GO WITH YOU.

THEN DO.

I'M SORRY.

I JUST DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH

YOU EXPLOITING MY FATHER'S DEATH

FOR TV RATINGS.

I UNDERSTAND.

UMM...

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND.

YOU KNOW, I WAS KIND OF

EXPECTING THE HARD SELL.

NO, THAT'S DEAN LAWSON FROM "THE

ADVENTURES OF THE PARANORMAL."

WE'RE THE GOOD GUYS.

BYE.

I WANT TO THANK YOU,

YOU'VE HELPED ME SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IT'S BEEN GREAT. I'M

REALLY EXCITED.

I CAN'T WAIT TO START.

- GOODBYE.

- BYE BYE.

- SO, HOW'S THE STORY GOING?

- WE'VE GOT A HELICOPTER.

JUST A FEW OF THE

DETAILS TO WORK OUT.

- WE LEAVE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

- GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

- YEAH.

- LISTEN,

ONE THING.

JULIE'S GOING WITH YOU.

WHY? RANDALL AND I

CAN HANDLE THIS.

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.

BUT SHE'S GOT TO GET SOME

EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD

IF SHE'S GOING TO

TAKE OVER FOR YOU

WHILE YOU'RE ON

VACATION NEXT MONTH.

IT IS JUST A VACATION,

MIKE, ISN'T IT?

OR DO I NEED TO STAR WORKING ON MY RESUME?

WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU WORRIED SHE

MAY GET BETTER RATINGS THAN YOU?

WHAT KIND OF RATINGS

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?

THE ONLY KIND THAT MATTER.

COME ON, THIS IS BUSINESS.

IT'S NOT PERSONAL.

FINE.

I HOPE SHE'S READY.

There she blows!

Are you guys out

of your minds?

Hey! What's going on in there?

For Christ's sake, we

could all die here!

HELLO.

HELLO?

- MR. SHAW?

- YOU'RE LATE.

RANDALL, THIS IS DAVID SHAW, HE

WORKS WITH CRESCENT CRUISES.

THEY OPERATED THE

CORONA QUEEN.

RANDALL BANKS, CAMERAMAN.

JULIE LARGO, FIELD

CORRESPONDENT.

HI.

THIS IS HIM AND THAT'S HIM.

MY TWO BEST SALVAGE OPERATORS.

RANDALL, JULIE, WHY DON'T YOU

START LOADING THE EQUIPMENT?

- SURE.

- YEAH.

THANKS FOR HELPING OU ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.

NO PROBLEM. DID YOU HOLD UP

WITH YOUR END OF

THE ARRANGEMENT?

YEAH.

HALF NOW,

HALF WHEN WE GET BACK.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

- WE'VE GOT ONE MORE PERSON.

- NO, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE OFF.

- THE STORM IS GETTING WORSE.

- COME ON, JUST GIVE ME TWO MORE MINUTES.

THIS STORM'S GOING TO

BE A B*TCH AND A HALF.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE

IT IF WE DON'T LEAVE NOW.

GREAT TIMING. ONE MORE MINUTE

AND YOU WOULD HAVE MISSED US.

- COME ON.

- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS

ON MY TERMS, RIGHT?

NO THEATRICS, NO MELODRAMA.

OTHERWISE, I'M JUST-- I'M

GOING TO STAY HERE, OKAY?

OKAY.

I'M TRUSTING YOU.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO.

OKAY.

HI, MY NAME IS DAVID

SHAW, CRESCENT CRUISES.

AARON ROBERTS.

YOU LOOK FAMILIAR.

COULD BE.

MY FAMILY SUED YOUR COMPANY.

MY FATHER AND STEPMOTHER

WERE ON THE CORONA.

THAT WAS BEFORE MY TIME.

WHAT'S ALL THAT STUFF?

IT'S MY FIELD GEAR.

WHAT SORT OF GEAR?

PARANORMAL RESEARCH STUFF.

MEASURES ALL KINDS

OF PHENOMENA.

WHAT SORT OF PHENOMENA?

WE'LL HAVE TO FIND THAT OU WHEN WE GET THERE, WON'T WE?

THIS IS OUR THIRD PASS.

SO WHAT'S YOUR POINT?

I DON'T HAVE THE FUEL FOR AN

EXTENDED SEARCH IN THESE WINDS.

DO WE MATCH THE COAS GUARD COORDINATES?

I DON'T KNOW, WIND AND CURRENTS

MIGHT HAVE MOVED THE SHIP.

JUST FIND THE SHIP, PLEASE.

YOU WANT IN ON THIS?

THIRSTY?

NO, THANKS.

I WENT SOBER THREE YEARS AGO.

WOW.

YEAH.

SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOU THIS BERMUDA TRIANGLE STUFF?

WIVES' TALE, OR THE REAL DEAL?

WHAT'S BEHIND ALL THE PILOTS

AND PLANES DISAPPEARING?

YEAH.

STORMS.

BAD NAVIGATION.

FAULTY INSTRUMENTS.

IT'S A BIG POND.

PEOPLE GET LOST.

UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THE LEGEND.

WHAT LEGEND?

SOME PEOPLE SAY THE TRIANGLE

IS LIKE A DOOR TO

SOMEPLACE ELSE.

SOMETIMES THE DOOR

OPENS ONE WAY.

SOMETIMES THE OTHER.

A DOOR TO WHERE?

THAT'S THE QUESTION, ISN'T IT?

SOME PEOPLE SAY THE DOOR OPENS

TO THE VERY BOWELS

OF HELL ITSELF.

THERE IS SOME RESEARCH

THAT SEEMS TO:

SUBSTANTIATE THAT THEORY.

THEN AGAIN,

IT MAY JUST BE A

BOATLOAD OF BULLSHIT.

- WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

- THAT WOULD BE TURBULENCE.

NO SH*T.

WHAT THE HELL IS

THIS, A PAGER?

PAGER, NO. BUT IT GETS

THE MESSAGE ACROSS.

GIVE ME TWO.

SO, MR. ROBERTS,

YOUR PARENTS WAS ON THIS

TUB 25 YEARS AGO, EH?

YEAH.

PARENTS GOT ON THE SHIP,

SHIP DISAPPEARS,

SHIP COMES BACK.

TOUGH BREAK.

YEAH.

YOU GOT ANYTHING?

I GOT SOMETHING OUT HERE.

THAT'S IT. THAT'S

THE CORONA QUEEN!

- DON'T GET EXCITED ABOUT IT.

- WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?

- IT MIGHT BE A NAVAL TARGET.

- THAT'S THE CORONA QUEEN.

WISH ME LUCK.

THAT'S IT.

GET HIM OUT.

GET BACK.

DROP OUR SUPPLIES.

I CAN'T HOLD HER MUCH LONGER.

JUST HOVER OVER LONG ENOUGH

TO DROP OUR GODDAMN SUPPLIES!

HEADS UP, HEADS UP.

LET'S TAKE THIS STUFF

AND GET INSIDE.

YOU TWO, UNLOAD IT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK

HAPPENED IN HERE?

DAS?

SMALL EXPLOSION OR CHARGE

COULD'VE TAKEN THOSE OUT.

ALMOST LOOKS LIKE

THEY WERE ATTACKED.

ATTACKED BY WHAT?

THERE WAS A LOT OF

PIRACY IN THE '70S.

NOT USUALLY ON CRUISE

SHIPS, THOUGH.

AH, HIJACKING MORE LIKELY.

TERRORISTS.

LOOKS LIKE THEY:

JUST CAME IN HERE

AND BLEW EVERYONE ALL TO HELL.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE HAPPENED

TO THE BODIES THEN?

FIELDS, LET'S GET SOME KIND

OF COVER OVER THESE WINDOWS.

WE'LL SAVE WHAT'S LEF OF THIS EQUIPMENT.

WHY DON'T WE SET UP IN THE...

CREW'S MESS, DOWN BELOW?

WE'RE STANDING ON

THE CORONA QUEEN,

A PASSENGER SHIP

THAT HAS REAPPEARED

AFTER BEING OFFICIALLY LISTED

AS MISSING FOR 25 YEARS.

THE LAST TIME AARON ROBERTS

SAW HIS PARENTS ALIVE,

THEY WERE BOARDING

THIS VERY SHIP.

AARON, WHAT ARE YOU FEELING?

AARON?

WHAT AM I FEELING?

- YEAH.

- I FEEL...

WET, A LITTLE HUNGRY...

AND A LITTLE CONCERNED

YOUR PILOT FLEW OFF

WITH ONE OF MY BAGS.

I THOUGHT YOU CAME WITH US

TO BE PART OF THE STORY.

AND I THOUGHT WE

HAD AN AGREEMENT.

I CAN'T GET INSIDE OF YOUR HEAD IF

YOU DON'T GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER.

I DON'T REMEMBER INVITING

YOU INSIDE MY HEAD.

I'M SORRY.

IT MUST BE DIFFICUL BEING HERE.

I'M GLAD I BROUGH THIS DOWN FIRST,

OTHERWISE THIS WHOLE TRIP WOULD

BE ONE BIG WASTE OF TIME.
