Roboshark Page #4

with a perfectly good military operation.

I agree, sir.

All right. How much longer is it gonna be?

It's darn cold out here.

I'm gonna tell Belinda

that global warming is an okay thing.

Okay, what if we run those numbers?

Yep. Do it, do it. Excellent.

Okay, guys, look sharp.

- Show me that report.

- Here you go.

Okay.

Yeah, that's good. Let's

look at the whole...

I want the helos up and ready.

Missiles, Gatling guns,

the whole nine yards.

Yes, sir.

Get me Bill.

Admiral, I just want to say I appreciate

your cooperation and your teamwork.

Yeah, of course.

Remember, life's not fair.

Just get used to it.

Self-righteous...

What do you want to do, boss?

- Tell them to stand down.

- Roger that.

Yes! I found it!

It's at THX1138.

Great, over and out. We are online.

Okay, baby, come and get me.

What?

What?

Everything all right, Rick?

Fine, I just need to go to the bathroom.

Okay.

So, I'll just...

Excuse me, I'm just...

I'm just gonna...

Going to the bathroom!

Hi, Rick.

Trish, are you remoting in my desktop

and listening to our conversations?

I'm not.

Your daughter, on the other hand, is.

Are you crazy?

Do you wanna be shot for treason?

Don't be dramatic.

No, I'm not being dramatic.

They are being dramatic.

Hang on.

- Where are you? Right now?

- What?

Where are...

You're at the park.

It's where the story is, Rick.

God, Trish, please get out of there.

Are you kidding?

Aliens, Rick, Bill Glates,

this is the biggest story of all time,

and I'm right in the middle of it.

This is Roboshark.

Forget the damn anchor job!

This isn't about the damn anchor job, Rick!

This is about letting the people

know the truth.

What Roboshark is, where it came from

and what it wants.

Trish...

I can feel it coming, Rick. It's coming.

Trish, get out of there. Please!

Everything will be okay.

I'll call you later.

Trish! Trish!

Damn it!

Rick, Rick, Rick.

Toilet paper.

Now I think I've got its attention.

- Status?

- I'm looking for a signal. No go so far.

Let's try another run at it.

Let's play a little closer this time.

Here we go.

Come to Daddy.

I'm activating the communication package.

Let's load the virus. Here we go.

Three, two, one!

He's full of stars.

Oh, my God. It just ate Bill Glates!

It just ate Bill Glates!

I've never shot anything like this before.

Damn billionaires.

Always poking around

where they don't belong.

One fewer, right?

That's right, boss.

I want those helos up. Fully loaded.

Where did you say it was headed?

Huntsman High School,

where people shouldn't go.

You all right, son?

It's Melody.

They think the next attack

is gonna be at Huntsman High. Hurry!

Let's go, Louie.

Don't worry. I'm taking Roboshark out.

After you evacuate the school, right?

Evacuation?

I wish we could.

Admiral, it's a school.

The burden of command, Rick.

We can't afford to let the enemy know

that we know its plans.

It would take away the element of surprise.

It's a sacrifice we'll have to make.

A sacrifice...

They don't hire us

to make the easy choices, Rick.

"The needs of the many

outweigh the needs of the few."

Wrath of Khan,seriously?

Who?

Come on, how do you not know that?

250,000 hits in six minutes.

You look great, Mom, I'm proud of you.

Turn right.

- They're not alerting the high school.

- What?

- We have to tell them to evacuate.

- How are we gonna do that?

Mom, I've got over 100,000 followers

'cause of Roboshark.

Watch this.

Left!

On your mark, get set...

- Hey, you gotta go!

- Get out of the way!

- Roboshark is coming!

- Go!

Get out of the way, go!

Get out, get out!

Oh, my God, that's Trish and Melody!

Not our problem. Prepare to engage, Chief.

- No! That's my wife and kid!

- Get him out of here, now!

That's my wife and kid in there!

Engage!

Please!

Get out of the pool!

Everybody get out of here!

Go, go, go!

Quick! Hurry, hurry!

Roboshark is coming!

- Go, go!

- Get out of here!

This is bad. This is really bad.

Okay, bad bad or bad good?

Oh, my God!

Melody, put your phone down!

This is not the right time for that!

Roboshark's following me.

What?

- She said Roboshark is following her.

- Yeah, I heard her.

What do you mean,

Roboshark is following you?

- What are you doing?

- I just DM'd Roboshark.

- What is DMing?

- Direct messaging.

- What did you say?

- Please stop hurting us, cry face.

You called Roboshark a cry face?

No, I just used a cry face sign.

You know, like an emoticon.

Like a colon, a dash,

and a closed parenthesis?

No, that would be a happy face.

Cry face would be an open parenthesis.

- She probably used an Emoji, right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, good. An Emoji's like a little...

Yeah, I know what Emoji's are, okay?

Is that Roboshark? What did he say?

It's Emoji's.

Rocket ship, fish, cry face.

What is that supposed to mean?

Where's that coming from?

Roboshark is making music.

- Melody, where are you going?

- I'm fine, Mom.

Melody, are you crazy? Get back here!

Mom, it's okay.

It's friendly.

It's okay, Roboshark.

No one's gonna hurt you.

Friends.

Oh, my God.

Are you getting this?

Melody, run!

This is the United States military.

Stand down or you will be fired upon.

Melody!

Okay, boys, target's dead ahead!

- Fire at will!

- No!

Stop shooting!

Hold your fire. Roboshark target is down.

Hold your fire.

Yes! That's what I'm talking about!

United States Navy one, Roboshark, zero.

Go on.

We're gonna give you a break, son.

Looks like the Roboshark is history.

What about my wife and daughter?

What?

They're fine. Got you!

What's the matter with you?

This is not a comedy!

Right?

Is the target destroyed?

We're gonna have to send divers to confirm.

On the scene at

Huntsman High in Seattle,

where a swim meet was interrupted

by a violent...

Mom.

It looked at me like...

Like it was smart.

We got it all wrong and they killed it.

Now it's gone.

I know.

- It's okay.

- I love you, Mom.

Hey, guys.

What are you doing here?

With my van?

I was getting the first on-camera

communication with Roboshark.

That is until they killed it.

But then, I got that on camera too.

You? You got this on camera?

Yeah, how do you like it?

That footage is mine.

I'm the reporter assigned to this story.

And you were both

supposed to be working for me.

So whatever you shot with Louie,

the footage is mine!

Hey! Look at this.

Yeah, that's right, sister.

896,000 followers.

You take one more step towards that camera,

and I tweet,

"Veronica Viola steals Trish Lanson's

Roboshark footage."

And I'm just getting started.

It gets a lot uglier from there.

That nose job.

That Botox you've been having.

And what about that lesbian weekend

in Cabo I heard about.

All right, fine, keep the footage.

Just relax.

- Oh, my God.

- What?

It's Roboshark!

It's alive!

- What did it say?

- It says...

"Roboshark phone home."

Heavy.

I want confirmation that that fish is dead.

- You got that?

- Yes, sir.
