The Bay Page #4

of some kind of parasite.

Something that is

literally eating its way

into the body

from the outside.

Uh, there are lesions

and there's boils

and also there's something

eating its way out

from inside.

What I need you

to do

is figure out

what the hell this is.

Interviewer:

John, what is going on?

Stockman:

Oh, man. You know...

- We've never had murders...

- Well, you know...

...reported here

in the city.

You know,

actually, um...

I've been so busy

with the reelection

and July 4th.

I mean, the sheriff

office is...

I've made contact

with them.

- It's not even labeled murder yet.

- Yeah.

- It isn't.

- Just an ongoing investigation.

- It's a totally open investigation, yeah.

- Okay.

(button clicks)

All right, we're back.

It's "Radio on the Bay. "

George Khouri.

Uh, we've got

our podcast 24-7,

all the updates,

KhouriRadio. Com.

Right now we're just

gonna get right to it.

We've got our esteemed

mayor, John Stockman.

He's got a very important

announcement for the town,

so right now

we're just gonna

turn it over to you,

Your Honor.

- I really appreciate this opportunity.

- Absolutely.

Stockman:
There's a lot

of rumors being spread.

And rumors can get you

into nothing but trouble,

as we all know.

So, let me give you

a little more clarity

as to what's going on.

And we all know that

during warm weather

bacteria levels can rise.

And because of that,

sometimes there are those of us

who pick up some kind

of digestive problems

It's unfortunate, but it's a

fact of life here on the bay.

However...

and I hope everyone

is paying attention to this...

let's not go around

scaring one another

with crazy

and outlandish stories

that serve

no one's benefit.

So, and I can't

stress this enough,

if you have a sensitivity

to that type of bacteria,

or if you just want

to take special precautions,

you can limit your time

in the water today.

The bacteria level here

is much, much higher

than even the high level

we see after a storm,

and the fertilizer

from the farm

- run into the water.

- You're rushing on the fertilizer.

- Slow down on that.

- Okay.

And the fertilizer

from the farm

are running

to the water.

Um...

It's, uh...

not good at all.

It's very, very high.

Yeah, that ending

is kind of sloppy on that.

Stockman:
And if I have any information,

and I do mean

to stress this,

if I have any information

that would alter those facts...

and I say facts...

I'll be right back here

talking to you again.

And Khouri and everyone

out there,

I just want to wish you

the happiest of 4th of Julys.

Thanks again.

(man whistles)

There he is.

- There he is.

- Oh, yeah!

- Man #2:
Who's buying dinner?

- (man laughs)

Woman:

Let's see it, let's see it.

Man #2:
That's so big, I don't

think he fits in this boat.

- (shutter clicking)

- There you go, huh? Nice.

- That's not right, Danny.

- Look at that, Brad, huh?

- Man #2:
That thing's huge.

- Brad:
That's not right.

It is right.

Look at that thing.

Danny, you ever see

anything like that?

What is that?

- I've never seen nothing like that.

- What the heck is it?

Ow! Son of a b*tch!

- What the...

- (screaming)

Get it... get off of me!

Woman:
What is that?

- Step back!

- Move away!

Man #2:

That thing bit me.

Brad:
Holy sh*t, that thing is nasty.

All right. Welcome back.

"Radio on the Bay. "

It's George Khouri.

We are live on the air,

and of course 24-7,

we got our podcasts.

You can grab 'em.

RadioKhouri. Com.

Now there's a lot of speculation,

a lot of phone calls coming in.

People not quite sure

what to make of this,

but theories do abound,

my friends.

Maybe a satanic cult

has invaded the town.

There's drugs loose

in the air.

We've got theories

running wild.

Caller:
I think it's al-Qaeda,

or whatever it's called.

It's a terrorist plot

to poison the food supply.

Caller #2:
Gathering a lot of

information about the flu shots

Caller #4:

I saw this strange cloud.

It was hovering over the water

down by the bay.

It was this

very circular shape...

Caller #5:
Biological warfare. Um, Iran,

and they're probably trying to

get people out of Guantanamo.

Caller #6:
I bet everybody's gonna

say it's about global warming.

I still can't get them.

It's going to voicemail.

Alex:

Well...

We said we'd meet them

at the pier.

That's what we'll do.

We'll meet them at the pier.

- Okay.

- That's the plan. We'll just...

do that.

Jacqueline:
Okay, we have

some more dead fish here.

- All mutilated.

- Sam:
What?

- All mutilated.

- Oh, mutilated.

We have... here, we have...

the tongue is missing on these.

- No tongue?

- And on these others,

the flesh looks almost

like it's been bitten.

- It's very confusing.

- Why is that?

(Jacqueline sighs)

I'm not sure what does this.

Um, fish don't bite fish.

There she is.

- Come on, let me film you.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, God.

I don't wanna end up

on the Internet.

Girl:
Come on. It's not like I'm

gonna put you naked on my Facebook page

- and see what the comments are.

- (laughs)

Well, I might, actually.

Now that I think about it.

Who knows? I could end up

being a pretty big star.

Uh-huh. Sure.

A big star. Whatever.

Donna's voice:
This was

Denise Button's digital camera.

She was a star pitcher

for the softball team.

A little shirt off.

- Denise:
Um, I don't think so.

- Let me see this.

- Aw, come on.

- Why do you want me to do that?

'Cause I wanna see

how beautiful you are.

- You already know.

- (laughs)

You know my mom doesn't like us

being together in the first place,

so why would I do

something even worse?

Because you like me.

All right, but you

better come in with me.

You're coming in,

no doubt about it.

Whoa.

(laughs)

You better come

in after me.

Whoo-hoo!

- How's it feel?

- Awesome. Come on!

- No. Mm-mm.

- Come on, baby.

Naw, that's okay. I think you can

just get stung by the jellyfish.

What?

(screams)

Oh, ha ha.

Very funny.

No, there's seriously

something in the... ow!

You're not getting to me.

(screaming)

You're just jeal...

are you okay?

(screaming continues)

Donna's voice:
That camera was

apparently found a month later

by a 12-year-old

on the shore.

Their bodies

were never discovered.

(wind blowing)

Samantha:

It's so pretty here.

- Alex:
Isn't it?

- (Samantha chuckles)

(kissing)

Hey.

Behind you.

It's like a sign.

- Oh, is it?

- Yeah.

It's a sign you wanna

make a little love?

(laughs) Knock it off.

It's not a sex sign.

Oh, well.

It is to me.

- It is a sex sign to me.

- No, everything is...

Hi.

Come on. It just helps

it a little bit.

Donna's voice:
Sometimes

when I watch this footage,

this private footage...

They're being playful.

They're loving one another.

And they have no idea that

something so much darker

and sinister

is about to happen.

...you get in the mood?

- Oh, definitely.

Oh, my God. Oh, my

God. What are you doing?
