Ozark Sharks Page #2

she's cool with that.

That still just sounds

really weird to me.

I don't like that.

Heart wants

what the heart wants.

She's cute.

You boys just

passing through?

Vacation actually.

We're staying in

a cabin on the lake.

Hey, do you have,

like, mosquito stuff?

Right.

West Nile, dude.

No joke.

Um... 'kay.

I was thinking of spray.

These woods ain't nothing

to mess with, boy.

Full of wild animals.

Dangerous animals.

You wouldn't be

the first person to

go missing around here.

Ain't no reasoning

with a wild animal.

They're acting

on pure instinct.

Slice you head to toe

before you can blink.

These woods ain't safe,

and this here

is the great equalizer.

- Yeah.

- Cool.

Thank you

for that not at all

terrifying advice.

We'll take that to heart,

but I think we're good

with the hotdogs

and the chips, so...

- Nothing else?

- Oh, yeah, um...

...let me get

a popsicle.

Cherry or grape?

Cherry.

I wish you would

have brought a suit.

The water's real nice.

The water's real nice.

I'm good.

Are you just planning on

reading that book all day?

That's new.

Adults don't usually

play the reading

is bad for you card.

I like a good book, Molly,

but stick your nose

in one for too long,

and you might miss out

on something big.

I'll risk it.

Suit yourself.

Oh!

This part is very deep.

Wasn't expecting that.

Oh, drat.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Whoa.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

You like my wheels?

Yeah, that's awesome.

Six cylinder,

five-inch alter lift,

15 bolt FF rear,

and a genuine

harpoon cannon.

Mounted it myself.

Why do you need

a harpoon cannon?

To shoot my harpoon with.

Huh.

Is your pal slow?

Yes, but I think

what he meant was

why would you need

a harpoon cannon?

This ain't the city, boy.

I like to be prepared.

Okay.

Just seems

a little extreme.

Curtis! Curtis!

- Moll?

- What's wrong?

What is it?

What is it? Oh, hey!

Are you okay?

Are you hurt?

No, no, no, no!

Grandma, Grandma!

- What? Where is Grandma?

- It pulled her in!

She was standing

there one second and--

Slow down!

What are you

talking about?

- It grabbed her!

- What grabbed her?

It was--

it was a shark.

Okay.

No, Harrison.

I think she's dead!

Show me where you were.

Come on!

Harrison:

Careful, Molls.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Is this spot?

Yes. Yeah, see?

My blanket's still here.

- Okay.

- What's that?

- What?

- Right there.

I don't know.

I can't really tell.

What are you doing?

Are you, like,

going out there?

No! Harrison,

you can't go

out there!

Relax. I'll be fine.

I'm just going for a swim.

- It's not safe!

- It's fine, Molly.

Calm down! Come on.

It's fine.

Just let him go.

Let him go.

- Curtis, take my phone.

- Don't--

If you see a shark,

just yell.

No.

What is it?

It's her hat!

Arm! Arm! Arm! Arm!

Oh, gross,

it touched me!

Oh, I love that beanie.

Harrison!

- Cutis:
Swim!

- Molly:
Swim!

Curtis:

Swim! Swim faster!

Molly:

Come on!

Hurry, Harrison! Swim!

( gunshot )

That there?

Yes.

One of those

dangerous creatures

I was telling you about.

( ringing )

Sheriff's office.

What's your emergency?

Curtis:

There's a shark

in the lake.

Can you repeat that?

There's a shark

in the lake,

or in the river,

or just--

it's in the water here.

You been drinking, son?

What? No!

I mean, no,

not today, I haven't.

Look, it ate

my girlfriend's Grandma!

I know you're trying

to be funny,

but I suggest that you find

a better use of your time.

Prank call.

Damn kids.

Well, you know

how they get

when the festival

rolls around.

All that teenage mischief.

Come on,

you remember what it's like

to be young and impulsive.

Hmm.

Or not.

He hung up on me

because he doesn't

believe me

that there's a shark

in the river.

Well, of course not.

Whose ever heard of a shark

in a river before?

This has happened

a couple times before.

Most sharks can survive

in fresh water.

But why would

they come here?

They swim up

from the ocean.

Sometimes they like

to give birth

to their young

in the warm water.

Ozark shark.

Curtis...

Never mind.

When they come

to birth their young,

are they always

this aggressive?

No! Sharks don't

usually attack people,

not even the ones that

have swam up here before.

We've never had

a reported shark attack.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that something

riled this one up.

The problem is that

sometimes sharks develop

a taste for human blood.

Not a good day

to go skinny dipping.

Mom and Dad, they're

taking the canoe out.

You don't want

the back seat?

You're the one steering

this ship, captain.

I'm just along

for the ride.

All right.

Plus, I have

a way better view

from the bow

for when I need to give

you directions.

That's my lady.

Well, I'm going to

do my best,

but I know I was not

your first choice

for canoe buddy.

You'll do.

There's no guarantee

that they left yet.

They might be okay.

All right.

I'm coming with you.

- No.

- No, but--

You've been

through a lot, okay?

Well, so have you!

Yeah, but I don't know

what I'm going to find.

Just stay with Curtis

and Jones, please?

Make sure she doesn't go

near the water, all right?

Yeah, sure.

I'll call you.

I'll let you know

what I find out.

It's okay. It's fine.

The cabin's really close.

I'm sure he'll get

to them in time.

Wait! What are we

supposed to do?

Try animal control.

I'll call animal control.

Mom!

Dad!

( line ringing )

( phone ringing )

Hey, the canoe's gone.

I don't know.

They left already.

I'm going to drive

around the lake

and look for them.

Okay, well if you

find them, call me.

Okay. Will do.

We're too late.

They're already out

on the water.

Well, you know,

we can't just sit

around here.

We got to do something.

Do you have a boat?

We're not going

out on the water.

- You saw what happened.

- He's got a gun.

Yeah, well,

that bullet did nothing

to that shark!

Baby, my parents

are out there!

We have to find them

and tell them to get

off of the water.

No, the boy's right.

We go out there,

we going to need

a lot more firepower.

What kind of firepower?

Let me show you something.

What is this place?

My workshop.

Holy shop.

What is all this stuff?

Jones:
I told you.

I like to be prepared.

For what?

The zombie apocalypse?

Among other things.

All right,

this would work,

but I'd have

to tweak it first.

It'd take too long.

Grab that.

Totally.

I get to use this?

No. You get to hold it

until I use it.

Okay. I'm fine with that.

All right, guys,

we really have to get going.

Let's find that shark

before it finds lunch.

- Babe.

- Yeah, I'm coming.

( man screams )

Whoa.

Oh, you missed.

- Now, boy!

- What?

- Now!

- Oh.

Yeah!

That's what

I'm talking about!

Watch out!

Dude, you just stabbed

a shark with a trident.

Oh, there's two of them.

Six?

Damn.

We're going to need

a bigger everything.

Mom!

Dad!

Woman:

Help!

Hello?

Help me!

Where are you?

Over here!

Hang on!

I'm coming!
