Shark Attack 3: Megalodon Page #3

One of these things

is swimming off my coast?

No. You have a 15 feet long baby

swimming off your coast.

But it's a damn dinosaur.

How did it get here?

That's what I'm trying

to find out.

You should have

told me the truth.

- Like you would have believed me.

- That's not the point!

You knew what it was.

You had a responsibility.

I didn't know the shark

would be a danger.

Tell that to the family

of the man who's dead.

This thing is obviously dangerous.

We've got to get rid of it.

- You can't just kill it.

- Watch me.

Do you know what

we can learn from this?

It's like finding a Tyrannosaurus

rex in your backyard.

Cat, I don't see that

as being a good thing.

Ben, wait!

I know what you're going to ask,

so don't even say it.

- Fine. How will you find it?

- I'll find it.

You'll have a hard time

without this.

- You tagged it?

- Yes, I did.

I can come within

10 meters of that shark.

- Close enough to bite you.

- I could confiscate that thing.

You could try.

Or you could come

work on my boat.

- I don't like playing games.

- Neither do I.

So what do you say

we both get what we want?

I can study the shark and

you can protect your beaches.

Beats cruising around

in circles all day.

Lo siento.

All right.

But at the first sign of trouble,

I'm taking it out.

Fair enough.

Smart-ass!

Sy:

Well, excuse me!

How can this shark still

be alive after all this time?

Some scientists believe

the Megalodon survived

the extinction of the dinosaurs

and the ice age

by living in

deep-water trenches.

And no one's seen one

after all this time?

Hey, guys,

check this out.

I was going through

yesterday's footage.

Take a look at this.

Wait, you put

a camera on the shark?

You gotta love

the sharkcam, man.

Is that the cable

where you found the tooth?

Yeah, that's

the Apex cable.

Hey, guys!

We're getting a signal.

West-18.

That's about a half-mile

due northeast.

- Okay.

- Get the cameras ready, boys.

- You got it!

- Let's go.

David:
Uh, it's--

it's headed due east.

Ben:
East.

Due east.

Jesus, it's headed

for the resort.

Full throttle, now!

There it is!

Jimmy, this is Ben.

- What is it?

- A shark's heading for the shore.

Get everyone

out of the water, now!

Shark! Shark!

Everybody

out of the water!

Shark! Shark!

Everybody out of the water!

Out of the water,

everybody!

Shark! Shark!

Everybody

out of the water!

Shark!

Shark!

Everybody

out of the water!

Everybody...

out!

Ben:

Faster! Go!

Faster!

Put the gun down!

( screaming )

What are you doing?

I had it in my sight.

You did it!

He's heading back out to sea.

- Problem solved. No one got hurt.

- We were lucky!

We were very lucky.

It's fast.

What's our speed?

We're barely keeping pace

at 20 knots.

Ben:
Oh no!

Faster. It's headed

for that boat.

All right, bro'!

Muy bien!

Yes, sir!

Guys!

Oh sh*t,

it's gonna ram them!

Shark!

Pull in! Shark!

Shark! Guys!

Hey!

Move! Move!

Hola! Como ests?

Hey! Move the boat!

Move!

( speaking Spanish )

Oh, sh*t!

Go!

- We're not going to make it!

- Sh*t!

Aydame!

Pedro!

No! The shark's dragging her

out to sea!

Ben:
Pull over! This guy

needs medical attention!

Gimme a hand here.

Wait!

Help me get him in the boat.

Man:
Help me,

please!

Cat:
Hurry!

Come on, Ben!

Hurry, Ben!

Hurry!

Give me the wheel.

We have to save her.

Hang on!

Ben:
Easy.

Watch your head.

Woman:
Help!

Help me!

No, no.

She's going down!

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Hang on!

- Go down and help her!

- Help me!

Help me!

Come here!

Hold on to my hand!

Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on.

- Hold on to me!

- Get her in!

We're damn lucky. We're indemnified

against legal action.

You're talking about legal action

when two people have been killed.

You knew about this Jurassic

shark and didn't tell me.

- I thought I could handle it!

- You thought wrong!

I can kill the shark. But

we need to close the beaches.

People pay a lot of money

to come down here

and they expect to use everything

including the beaches!

You can not let people

swim in the water

when there's a shark

out there!

Okay, let me handle

the beaches.

I'll come up with something. But

kill this thing quickly and quietly.

Understood.

Ben:
Hey...

it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I've studied fossils

my whole life.

Nothing but theories

and guesses...

This was my one chance

to prove that I was right.

Look what happened.

All those people are dead.

And it's all my fault.

- Don't blame yourself.

- How could I be so blind?

Did you see that girl?

She was so scared.

And I had seconds and

I could have saved her life.

Cat, what's done is done.

There's nothing we can do.

What we have to do now is stop

anyone else from getting hurt.

I was looking at the video

of the shark hugging the cable.

Do you have any idea

why it's attracted to it?

It could be electromagnetic

or visual stimuli.

What's running

through that cable?

It's fiber optics.

I don't know

the specifics.

But I do have a friend

who's working on the project.

Chuck:

Prehistoric, huh?

That's right.

Prehistoric.

Damndest thing

I ever heard.

Could the fiber be

emitting something?

Low-level electrical field.

Not enough to harm anything.

But maybe enough

to attract something.

In the '80s, AT& had problems with sharks

biting though

their fiber cables.

Their cable installation

was too thin.

Electricity bleeding

through the water.

The same could be

happening here.

Let me show you something.

This section of cable

here in Mexico

connects to North America,

South America,

then 10 miles south, branches off

to Australia and Japan.

The whole system's set

to go online in...

two days.

It looks like the cable goes

near several deep-water trenches.

Yeah.

I lost a good buddy

in an accident...

right about here.

Near the Challenger

deep trench.

Yeah, I'm sorry

about that.

We know the Meg's

attracted to the cable.

And with it running

this close to the trenches,

it could have drawn it out of

the deep blue sea and lead it here.

That cable goes to full power,

there is no telling

how many of these Megs

we'll have on our hands.

We can't let

that system go online.

Guys...

you'll have a hard time

convincing Tolley

to delay a billion-dollar

project over...

what, some sharks

and a hunch?

Yeah, he's right.

We don't

have enough proof.

And we have to deal with the Meg

that's out there now.

All right.

I'll check Apex's computer files,

see what I can find.

Do you have access?

I will when

I'm done hacking.

Ben:
You know what?

We'll need

all the help we can get.

Let's go.

- Davis:
Hey.

- Hey.

- You guys take that?

- Yeah.

Yo, easy, easy, easy.

Now...

are you sure

this will kill it?

If you want, I can test it out

on Freidman first.

I heard that.

Smart-ass.

- Is everything stowed?

- Everything's stowed.

Cat:
Let's roll.

Come on, baby.

Come on.

Here's your password.

"Power bleed-through."

You knew it was leaking.
