Shark Lake Page #4

now she's gone!

Are we sure she's okay?

It's him.

Come on! Give me your keys!

- Okay.

Hello? Anybody home?

I need an APB to go out

on Clint Gray for the

kidnapping of Carly Gray.

Send a unit to

14 Pine Road.

He's not here.

He's probably half

way to Canada by now.

Scratch that. We're

gonna need some backup.

Freeze!

Hey, what's the

problem officer?

You're under arrest for the

kidnapping of Carly Gray.

She's been kidnapped?

Now taste the deck!

You heard me. Come on!

Come on. Do it!

Don't hurt my dad!

Stay down, Carly!

How does the deck taste?

We're gonna need a boat.

Come on!

Carly!

Wow, you're beautiful.

You got so... So big!

Thanks. My mom says I'm

eight going on eighteen.

Yeah, yeah, I can see that.

Look, I'm sorry I

haven't been around.

I miss you very much.

I knew you were nice.

Hey, so how'd you

find me, sweetie?

In mom's office, there

were papers about you.

What you did and stuff

and where you live.

Mom's office, huh?

Are you mad at me?

No! Not even a

little bit.

But right now, we

gotta get you home.

Is it cause the Sherrif

was trying to make you

go back to jail?

No, no. Forget about him.

They're all gone now.

Then why do I have to go home?

Here, put this on.

It's late, your mom's

all worried about you.

Soon we'll get to

hang out all the time.

Maybe we can go to the

playground tomorrow!

Oh, yeah, maybe!

Do you like tacos?

Cause we could get tacos

after the playground.

Yeah, I love tacos.

Me too.

Hey, get up

here. Alright.

We're gonna go.

Hang on.

If we're going home,

isn't it that way?

Yeah, well, we're taking

the scenic route.

So the plan is to take the

boat out, scour the lake

in the dark, and hope we

find Clint and your daughter

before he decides that

tooling around in the middle

of the night isn't the

best way to prove his

parental bonafides?

Hernandez! Right here.

That's your boat?

Well, yeah?

I don't think it's big

enough, but it'll do.

Keys?

Um, it's my boat.

I'm driving.

Y'all know there's

sharks out there, right?

Yeah, which means you need

to get out of the water.

Oh, I don't think so,

chief. See I got me a plan.

I'm gonna lure those sons

of b*tches out there

with these here deer guts.

Look, my buddy Roddy shows

up with his rig, I'm gonna

lure 'em right to him.

Barn! We gonna get us a

ripe, fat paycheck.

Sir! You need to get the

hell out of the water.

What? And leave the sharks

to you? Don't think so.

How big is the lake exactly?

Two hundred square miles.

So we plan on finding

him next month then?

This thing doesn't

have stealth mode.

The faster we go,

the louder we get.

Why don't we just turn back,

you know, and wait for light?

Shh! Shh!

Shh! Did you hear that?

Yeah, where's it coming from?

Peter!

Throw me a rope!

Peter!

Hang on!

I'm coming!

Peter, get out of the water!

Don't look back, just swim!

Ahhhhhh!

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have let

him come out here.

We shouldn't be out here.

Well, let's go

back. Right now!

Before anyone

else gets hurt.

I can't do that.

Carly's out here.

How do you know?

We have every cop in Alpine

Lake out looking for him.

He knows that and if

he's smart, and he is...

He's gonna lay low out

here until morning

when every idiot and

his brother is out

fishing sharks.

He knows the chief is gonna

turn everyone onto them

and he'll ditch his boat

and be gone with Carly.

But he's not gone yet.

Then we'll keep looking.

Okay.

Sh*t!

I'm sorry, Meredith.

I'll call the station. It'll

take them a couple hours,

but they'll find us.

I don't think we

have a couple hours.

Here, take this.

Come on! Pick up!

I don't wanna play

Titanic anymore.

I don't remember there being

any sharks in titanic.

Not funny.

Look, they'll be here soon.

Yeah, well, not soon enough.

What are you doing?

I'm making a weapon.

Sorry, seeing as I left

my glock at home and all.

Maybe they went away.

You think?

The scientist in me says that

predators don't just vanish

from rich, uncontested

waters for no reason.

The human being who's floating

helplessly in these waters

hopes the scientist is wrong.

Well, as long as

this thing is still on,

they can track us by GPS.

Even in the lake?

Technically, yes.

Have you ever done that before?

No.

You Okay?

Yeah, I'm just cold.

Oh, here.

This probably doesn't help.

It does.

Meredith.

I'm sorry. What if I

never see her again?

She's so young.

She needs me.

Yeah, she does. And that's why

we're getting out of here.

Okay? You need to

believe it, alright?

That's what you

said, right?

We're getting out

of here. Say it.

We're getting

out of here.

Feel better?

Not really.

Ahh, see?

It's not so bad, right?

I've been on dates

worse than this.

I doubt it.

This girl in college,

she wanted to have some

fun with handcuffs.

We tried the key and found out

that it went to her bike lock.

I was chained... I was

chained to a pink futon

for nine hours while she

studied for an art history

final three feet away.

Peter.

Just last month, she was...

Peter, stop!

Oh, sh*t!

How long before they...

Whoa! Whoa!

Peter!

Peter!

Oh my god!

Peter?

Peter?

Oh my god!

Peter!

No! Peter!

Peter!

Where's Carly?

You're not gonna shoot

me again, are you?

If there's one

scratch on her...

I will.

She's sleeping. GO

see for yourself.

Mom?

Carly!

I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

Oh, no, baby! You don't

have to apologize.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I should've told you I

was going to see him.

Wait, what?

I should've asked you.

I'm sorry. I just-just

wanted to see him so bad.

I know, it's fine.

Okay.

You Okay?

No.

She okay?

What the hell

were you thinking?

She shows up at your house

and you take off with her

like that?

Listen...

It's still kidnapping!

That's not what happened.

I didn't even know

she was on the boat.

Oh yeah? Tell

that to the judge.

If I wanted to take her,

we'd be gone already.

Oh, so this is just a nice

father daughter boat ride, huh?

Well, I was gonna take her

back once I could do that

without getting shot.

I'm sorry I'm a little

selfish that way.

That's hard to believe

from someone who put

a shark in a lake.

You know? People are

dead because of you!

Yeah, I know that.

But once you and Carly

are off this boat,

I'm gonna end this.

You're in violation

of your parole.

When we get off this

boat, you're going

right back to jail.

That's not happening.

What would you do to

see your daughter?

She's my daughter.

What would you

do to see your...

I'd do anything.

Me too. Except I wouldn't

take her away from you.

I wouldn't do that to her.

You took care of

her when I couldn't.

You probably think I hated

you all these years.

But that's not even close.

You're the best thing

to ever happen to her.

I know that.

But I'm still her dad and

I'll do whatever it takes

to be part of her life.

Carly!

- Get her!

GO! GO, go, go!

Carly!

- Carly!

Carly! Carly!
