told me he was in charge

and it wasn't necessary

to check with anyone else.

- Check what?

- Findings of the Marine Commission.

Give me specifics, Turner.

What findings?

Hasn't Corey told you?

Yes, but I want to hear it from you.

Well, so far it's only guesswork,

but they're beginning to suspect

that your tunnel is somehow

responsible for those deaths.

Unless you can prove what

you're saying with facts, I'd refrain.

I don't have any proof yet,

but I sure as hell intend to get some.

All right, I can see it's pointless

to continue this discussion.

But if you persist,

you'd better get yourself a good lawyer,

or your career may be over.

Be that as it may, no amount

of pressure from you or anyone else

is going to make

the slightest difference.

Tommy!

Tommy, hurry up!

We're gonna miss the race!

Coming!

You get the other things.

Here, Jamie.

Put these in the truck.

Tillie, thank you so much for taking

my boy along and doing all this.

It's so hard with my two jobs

trying to get the house paid off.

I wish I could go with you.

You're welcome any time.

Jamie and Tommy are such

good friends. They're inseparable.

I'd better hurry,

or we'll miss the race.

That's right. Good luck!

Don't worry, Chris.

They're gonna have a great time!

Be careful, honey.

That's fine.

Bye, Chris!

So far, we haven't

been able to locate it.

Who do you have looking?

Coast Guard cutter.

Damnit! Have you done

anything else?

Well, we radioed her back in.

Jesus Christ! You radioed her?

- Any news?

- Nothing so far, Sheriff.

It was

that damned tunnel, wasn't it?

Chief, I suggest you bring

Corey in for questioning.

To hell with Corey.

Let's find my wife.

Stop the engine!

Why don't you go inside,

Mrs. Gleeson?

No, thank you.

Sam?

Where are you?!

Evidently, there are a few things

you forgot to mention.

I didn't think

anything important would come

by going ahead with

our normal tests and experiments.

But what kind

of tests and experiments?

You know what kind.

Whatever there is to know, you'd better

start telling me here and now.

From time to time, I did push

the tests beyond legal limits.

But I just felt it would be

a good experiment for us.

We'd get through much faster,

saving time and money.

Understand me now, Corey.

You'll go back to conducting

your tests according to regulations,

and curtail your personal

ambitions and experiments.

Your only saving grace is I'd lose so much

vital time if I replace you at this point.

Now, get back to work.

And by God, man, if anyone else

is to question Trojan again,

you'd better remember that it's

my responsibility to answer for it!

Welcome, welcome, welcome

one and all

to the Solana Beach Yacht Race.

This is a wonderful day.

The wind is just perfect

today for sailing.

Uncle Sam is so happy

to see everybody here today.

The families... I'm so happy

to see the little children.

It's good to see families here.

We have just a terrific turnout.

It's good to see all the people

looking great today,

and I know they're having

a wonderful time.

Everybody is in a terrific mood

and we're going to have

fantastic races today.

It's a giant octopus.

I'll be able to tell you more about it when

we see the rest of those photographs.

I always thought of an octopus

as being harmless... even shy.

It is.

Something set this one off.

I've read that the suckers on a tentacle

are like the claws of a tiger.

Compared to suckers on a tentacle,

claws are nothing, Mr. Turner.

Nothing.

I'm so sorry

to interrupt your meeting.

Ned, I've been driving around

for an hour looking for you.

Yeah?

I got my day off, so I was thinking

if you wanna come up in my car...

they're about to start

the practice runs any minute now,

but if we hurry,

we can get there for the race.

Race? My God! The race!

How many miles is

that Coast Guard warning good for?

Just the local sector... 30 miles.

Would a giant squid's range

be greater than 30 miles?

Well, if it's gone berserk,

who the hell knows?

Dick, we'll have the Coast Guard

widen the danger-zone area.

We gotta keep those kids

from going in the water.

What's going on, Ned?

What's wrong?

Will, it's gotta be destroyed,

that thing.

Can you do it?

I've only got one thought

on my mind, Mr. Turner.

Just one.

I'll be in touch

with you from the boat.

Emergency message

for helicopter X 3-1-1.

Suspend the Solana Beach

Junior Regatta.

Have all boats in the area

return to port at once. Over and out.

Did you hear about...

there was a Scotsman...

and he was always

going to the pub.

Going to the pub all the time,

getting drunk.

And he won...

he won on the sweepstakes.

Before he won the sweepstakes,

he was always banging and bashing doors

and hitting the windows

when he was coming home from the pub.

So he won the sweepstakes

and his wife said to him.

"Now, don't be hitting

the doors and the windows

"when you come home drunk

from the pub.

"Now you've got a little money,

you've got to be dignified.

Come around the other way

by the pasture."

And so he comes home, and he's

all covered with cow... you know what.

And she says to him,

"Man, what are you doing

coming home

covered with all of this all over you?"

We had our

second honeymoon last week.

Only, this time, I went

to the bathroom and cried.

Did you folks know

that one out of every

two Americans wears glasses?

That just shows you

how important ears are!

Our neighbor girl next door

is a delightful girl.

However, she wears braces...

...when things go wrong,

and I'll show you a TV repairman.

Did you folks hear about

the freighter that left Hong Kong...

Jamie? Jamie,

do you hear me, honey?

...It sank 164 times.

Honey, do you hear me?

Jamie, don't you hear me?

God, what's happening?

Answer your mother!

Come on, don't tease me!

Tommy!

Answer me!

Tommy! Jamie!

Answer me! What's the matter?

Come on! I'm talking to you.

Can't you hear me?

- What's happened?

- Coast Guard's here.

Don't worry.

- I don't see anything.

- Don't worry! Don't worry.

What the hell happened?

The chopper get here in time?

As soon as we know anything,

we'll let you know.

- Yeah, this is...

- Did you find anyone yet?

- No. You didn't hear anything?

- No, there's no answer yet.

What's going on

around here, anyway?

I'm staying on the phone.

There's no answer.

I don't know. This is ridiculous.

Will you go ask?

There they are.

Can you see?

Hey, dad!

Where... Tommy, where are you?

Where...

He's over there.

Where... Tommy?!

There, give me your hand.

Come on.

Have you seen Mario?

Jamie?

Didn't Jamie...?

Mommy!

Sweetheart!

Oh, thank...

Jamie...

Sure there wasn't anybody else?

Oh, no!

No, no...

Thank God.

Will? What now?

Check the loudspeakers.

Make sure they're working.

We'll wait.

Don't forget

to take your medicine.

How're they doing?

Oh, they're doing fine.

A little restless.

I don't want any more.

Maybe...
