Swamp Shark Page #5

---

I don't know.

Okay, well, maybe...

all right, she met some guys

yesterday,

some college guys here,

and they asked her to go

to a party with them.

All right, college guys,

party.

It's not great, but it's not

the end of the world.

No, the party's on a boat.

Part of a gator fest thing.

They go up and down the river.

- Oh, no.

- We've got to find her.

Where would we even look?

There's a thousand Miles

of swamp out there.

We need help, rach.

Got to call the sheriff.

I hate to agree with Tyler,

but he's right.

No, that's not an option. No.

It's serious.

I hate the guy more than you do,

but this is krystal

we're talking about.

We've no other choice.

Yeah, we have to call.

No, you can't. You can't.

Tommy's a federal agent.

He's going to call

a fish and wildlife SWAT team,

and they're going to comb

this lake

and bring krystal home.

Give me sheriff Watson.

Tell him

special agent brysler's calling

and it's urgent.

Special agent brysler,

fish and game.

Sheriff here?

Excuse me. Can we help you?

Deputy.

So you're a fed, huh?

That's right.

- Stanley.

- Yes, sheriff.

See if these nice people

would like something to drink.

Nah, it's all right...

- get y'all anything?

- No, we're fine.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Well, fish and wildlife

or not,

this is still my jurisdiction.

I think we both know

those are navigable

federal waterways.

You want to have

a pissing contest about this?

Come on, sheriff.

You're a little

out of your league here.

Out of my league?

Every year, we get

a bunch of renegade gators

going around attacking tourists.

Now, that's not nice,

but there's nothing special

about it.

We've been to the morgue,

and the bite marks

on those kids prove

they were killed by a shark.

You expect me to believe

that there's a shark

floating around this bayou?

We all saw it,

and now we got hard evidence.

Those kids were not killed

by any gator.

Then what was

that big green thing

that almost ripped

my deputy's leg off today?

I don't know about that,

but look,

I've got enough right now

to call the governor,

get him to shut down

the whiskey river

recreational area indefinitely.

What's wrong with you?

People are hurting around here

since that oil spill.

Now, the gator fest begins

tonight.

You want to spoil the one thing

that still brings money

to this town?

That's where the shark

is headed.

I got deputies

all around this bayou, okay,

looking for gators and snakes.

If some kind of shark

pops its head up...

and that's a mighty big if...

they can handle it.

This isn't a normal shark.

You can say that again.

It's some kind

of hallucination.

Please.

You know

I can have you all arrested?

What?

I could call the governor

myself.

You know we grew up together?

You didn't know that, did you?

Tell him you and your

federal agent friend

are making a mess of things

down here.

All right, I'll tell you

what I'm going to do, sheriff.

- What?

- Help us kill this shark.

And I'll do everything

in my power

to get the prosecution

to go easy on you.

Prosecution of what?

Exotic animal smuggling,

bribing state and local

officials,

multiple violations

of the interstate commerce code

to start.

So you can lock us up,

but you can't shut us up.

We'll see about that, cupcake.

You're just going

to arrest them, right?

I mean, I... i only work

at the restaurant, so...

- Stanley?

- Yes, sheriff.

Get all these people

out of here now,

or put them in the jail.

Go on. Get out.

Get 'em out of here!

Is that a taser?

That's an x26...

hey!

Sheriff!

Go on; Get out of here!

- Stanley.

- Swamp!

Stanley, on your feet. Now!

Come on; Get in.

Wait. His boat.

Come on!

Back it up! Hold on!

Get back here!

I'm gonna shoot!

I'm gonna... I'm gonna shoot!

What? You like that? Sucker!

Ha-ha! Did you see that?

Sucker, sheriff. Whoo!

I don't like

that we left Jason behind.

First we save krystal.

Then we come back

with the cavalry

and bust swamp thing out,

I promise.

You three best turn

my boat around right now.

Bring it back.

That's a negatory, sheriff.

Your boat's just so cute.

Real fast too,

and handles nice.

Listen, chum-for-brains,

you bring that boat in now.

Okay, hotshot, we'll see...

that's enough of that.

Come on; Let's get

our game faces on, all right?

Can anybody read me?

This is krystal broussard.

I need help.

Oh! Krystal!

Krystal, can you hear me?

Rachel! They won't let me

off the boat.

What... what boat? Where?

We're in the swamp.

They won't listen.

I think we're headed

for whiskey river.

Okay, we're going

to come get you.

Uh, where are you exactly?

We're about...

no! No! What are you doing?

Krystal?

Krystal!

Here.

I'm trying to help you.

What is your problem?

She's telling on us, man.

Would you please shut

the hell up so the rest of us...

did it ever occur to you

that they might charge us

for that?

Well, get daddy

to pay for it.

No, my dad's not going

to pay for everything.

He's already paid

for this trip.

Now, stop laughing.

The whole trip?

Scott is such a jerk.

You want a drink?

Don't touch me, dde.

No, I don't want a drink.

Relax, man.

Stop!

You're going to hit the tree.

- Calm down.

- Calm down?

Does anyone want a drink?

Great. This is perfect.

This damn rain.

Krystal.

Got to go now.

She could be anywhere

in the swamp.

She said she was heading

to the whiskey river, okay?

We head over there

and see if we can find her.

I thought you said that was

where the shark was headed.

So going there is suicide.

No, no, it's called

saving my sister.

What, do you think the cops

are going to save us?

Hang on.

# And I'm slowly going

to pieces #

# but it's too... #

You okay?

Coop, come in, please.

Cooper, we got a 31-20.

Coop, can you read me?

Coop, can you come in, please?

Listen, I got a 31-20, Coop.

Come on in, please.

I'm going to go down

to the gator fest.

You keep an eye on Shrek here.

Yes, sheriff.

Since everyone's so interested

in me catching the shark,

I'm going to go find some bait.

Oh, man.

Dude, you broke the prop.

No, I didn't.

I told you

we shouldn't have gone.

Would you please shut up?

Dude, chill. All we got to do

is call for help.

My phone doesn't have

any bars here.

That's what a radio's for.

All right, short straw goes

to see what the trouble is.

You ain't special, krystal.

You got to play too.

No one should go in the water.

It's safer to stay here

until we get help.

I'm getting sick and tired

of baby-sitting you...

I'll take hers.

All right.

You're lucky

Noah is such a gentleman.

Well, let's show 'em.

Looks like you win, dde.

You guys suck.

Yeah, man,

it's definitely clogged.

Well, go unclog it, genius.

All right, hand me the pliers

from the toolbox.

If I'm not back in two minutes,

just wait longer.

Shut up. Hurry.

I can't get at it.

Dude, you didn't even try.

Go down there, and spend

a little more time

than two seconds, man.
