Attack of the Meth Gator (2023) Movie Script
All right. Go, go, go!
Trig! Shane! Sheriff Williams!
Drop the bags, put the hands up.
Drop the bag now.
Put the bag down
and your hands up, Shane.
You sure you want to do this?
Huh! Oh!
Run, Trig!
You sure you're OK?
Yeah.
I got 'em.
OK, I'll call for help.
This is Sheriff Williams
over at Trig's shack.
We need back-up. We got runners.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Screw you, Shane!
You can't tell me what to do!
Chicken! I'm not going down
without a fight!
You're crazy!
Ha ha!
Er... Er...
Agh!
Drop the meth and
put your hands on your head!
Doesn't have to end like this, OK?
You got him, Farmer?
I got him, Sheriff.
Good.
I'm going to go find Shane.
Ugh! Ugh!
Shane?
Come on, man.
Come on.
Can we do something here?
We'll see what we can do.
All right.
I'm coming.
Agh!
Come on, Trig.
It doesn't have to be like this.
You're not in your right head.
Just tell me where the super lab is.
If I tell you, will you let me go?
You know I can't do that, Trig.
You'll be helping a lot of people.
Like I care.
Farmer, look out!
Agh!
Oh! Ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Now, I trust that
this is enough money
to keep the gator hunt quiet.
Yes, sir.
We got him, Mayor Janssen.
I don't care how you do it,
but that gator's got to be gone
before the tourists get here.
Yes, sir.
Aren't the police actually involved?
We don't need to get into
all of that.
It's just another nuisance
alligator as we've had before.
It's just a little bit bigger.
No problem.
Thank you again for your discretion.
Now, you get back, as always,
first round's on me.
All right, get going.
You're losing daylight.
Thank you.
Good to see you, son.
Good to see you, Pops.
That's Sheriff Williams to you,
Mr Tampa DEA man.
I'm sorry to bring you here
under these circumstances.
I was hoping the next time
that I see you,
you'd kind of do a little
victory lap for all of us
and tell us how you cleaned up
Tampa, the Keys,
and Florida, of all the meth labs,
including us.
Yeah, well, I'm working
on that, Pop.
It just sucks that I got
to come back here for this.
Well, I'm sorry I had to bring
you back to deal with a gator
of all things, especially since...
Pop, I'm fine, all right? I'm just
more sorry about Deputy Farmer.
I know, it's tough,
but he was a good cop.
Yeah, he was like family.
If there's a meth lab on this
island, I got to find it.
We have found bags of the stuff.
I'm beginning to think
it's cartel related.
I'll try to look into it.
It's not related to the cartel.
If that was the case, I would have
bought the whole cavalry.
Is that all you packed?
Where's all your DEA gear?
Pops, we got the same gear
that you do, all right?
Come on. We got to get to the
mayor's event at Grady's.
That's why I wanted you
to get here early.
To convince him to put the island on
the dangerous waters alert
until we know what
we're dealing with.
I've tried to talk to him.
He doesn't listen to me.
Let's go.
Bithlo, your buddy that
you used to work with
at the Sweetwater Reptile Ranch?
He's tracking the gator. He's out
there with a drone and everything.
No luck yet, but it's
just a matter of time.
Yeah, well, no-one knows gators
like Bithlo, that's for sure.
You know, Pops, this place
never changes.
I can still smell Grady's bar as
I was coming in over the water.
I swear that deep fryer never stops.
Yep.
Why don't you tell me
exactly what we're dealing with
so I know how to handle the mayor?
You think you got a killer gator
on meth?
I don't think. I know.
I saw it myself.
This thing is massive.
It ate an entire duffel bag
full of meth.
How much meth are we talking?
A lot. A big bag.
Swallowed it whole.
By the time I figured out what
was going on, it was too late.
There was nothing
I could do for Farmer.
People are beginning to already
arrive for the Memorial Day weekend.
So the sooner we can catch
this gator, the better.
The good thing is the last
ferry has already arrived,
so you don't have
to worry about that.
But if we can catch this gator
by tomorrow, we should be OK.
Understood.
So, how's Anna? I mean,
I know she used to love
the Memorial Day festivities, so...
She didn't tell you?
She quit the force
to go work for Grady.
He was slowing down.
She was insistent
that she helped him out.
I'm surprised she didn't tell you.
No, we really don't
talk much any more, so...
Hm. Well, you know,
her biological father
used to work for
a Cuban drug lord years ago,
and it was the Tampa DEA office
that busted him.
But that was like middle school.
I don't think she should
hold that against you.
I mean, I don't know, Pop.
I'd be upset too if my best friend
joined the same organisation
that got my father.
Best friend? I think you're
a little more than that.
No, Pop, what I'm saying
was that, you know,
she would have wanted
this island clean, OK?
And she wouldn't want anyone else
to go through that loss either.
I'm glad she's helping Grady though.
She probably still feels like
she owes him for adopting her.
That's real sad about the force.
She had a bright future.
She still does.
Wait, Pop, did you say that the
gator ate a duffel bag full of meth?
Are you sure it's not
underwater dead somewhere?
It's probably bloated and rotten
off of Hallelujah Pass.
You know, he seemed
to actually get stronger.
We couldn't find any evidence of it
anywhere.
We had some perps that may
have run off with it,
but I'm convinced
that gator got its fill.
I mean, sure. That first hit
of meth, you know, he felt no pain.
Neurons firing at max,
his muscles rigid.
I agree with you. It'll make him
real hard to stop.
It's hard to take a human down on
meth if you hit them with a Taser.
He would feel incredible euphoria,
invincibility,
and then he'd be addicted.
But any animal ingesting that
much meth would just OD and die.
You didn't see it.
This isn't just any animal.
We got to round up all that meth on
the island before he gets to it.
Or else it could be
way worse than that.
I'm talking about induced psychosis.
It'll be way more violent, Pops.
I know it's an island, but
there's a lot of places to hide.
Finding a meth super lab,
taking down a meth-eating gator,
that's a tall order.
That's why you hired an expert.
The mayor wants
to keep things quiet.
Memorial Day weekend's a big deal.
Yeah, Pops, you and I both know
that anything dealing with gators
and humans never stays quiet.
That is why Sweetwater Point is the
best place to be on Memorial Day.
We got food.
We got games for the kiddos.
We got plenty of
Grady's Dockside Bar And Inn
famous drinks for the grown-ups.
We're going to have a big parade.
The fireworks finale is
fired off by Grady himself,
a vet of the US of A.
Hey, look who we have here.
Keeping our beautiful island safe,
as always, for families,
the Williams lawmen,
back together again.
Happy Memorial Day weekend.
And, as always, first round's on me.
Mayor Jensen. I have
a couple of questions
about what happened
on the island last night.
I understand. I understand.
I'm going to have to put that off
just for a little bit.
Excuse me, sir.
Yeah!
Uh... I'm looking forward to it.
I'm going to call Bithlo
and check in,
see if he's spotted anything
on that drone of his.
Good idea. If he has seen something,
we can make a plan of attack.
OK. Sounds good. Catch you later.
See you, Pops.
Bithlo, are you there?
I'm here, Sheriff.
What do you got for me? Any luck?
I may have a visual
on the gator soon.
Sheriff...
This gator is much, much larger
than I can handle.
Ohh!
Bithlo, are you there?
Bithlo, answer me.
Sheriff, this gator is no joke.
If I had this gator on the ranch,
I would have put him
down the same day.
This one is just different, Sheriff.
Just get back here in one piece.
Hey.
What can I get you...Dante?
Hey, Anna.
Hey, yourself.
Listen, I just wanted to say...
You wanted to get in
on this open tab.
First round goes quick.
Um... Yeah.
I'll take the usual.
Sure. I got you.
Thanks.
There you go. On the mayor.
After that, you have a tab.
You don't want to pay it for me?
OK, I'm sorry. OK.
I thought Tampa
would have changed you.
But... You look good.
I'm still the same, I guess.
You look good, too.
I don't know about that.
Well, I do.
Dante?
Boy, is that you?
I am going to hug you right now.
But I smell like bacon grease and
motor oil. Is that all right?
It's worth the risk, Grady. Come on.
God, boy it's so good to see you!
You look so good.
Holy mackerel!
You staying here at the inn?
No, actually I'm staying
with my pops.
That's fair enough. I get that.
Makes sense, right?
Hey, Sheriff.
We all heard about Farmer.
We're sorry about him.
Thank you.
We love him.
He was a good man. Good cop.
We're going to do something
special for him at the parade.
We're going to do,
like, a big tribute.
I'm going to take that gun there
and I'm going to do some bang-bang.
Do you have anything bigger?
I got just the thing.
And for the rest of us, I'll make
some damn good barbecue.
We're going to celebrate life.
Sheriff, again, I want to offer my
sincere condolences about Farmer.
He was a good cop. We want to give
him a memorial that he would want.
He loved it here.
Yes, he did.
Grady and I were just
talking about that.
But, Mr Mayor, if you and
I could have a moment, please.
Bithlo has spotted the
gator that got Farmer.
It's massive. It's no ordinary
gator. We have to get it now.
Yes, of course.
Of course we got to get it.
We are going to get it.
Now, listen here, the tourists
and the taxpayers
that are coming here this weekend
pay good money.
Money that pays
your salary, Sheriff.
I understand, Mr Mayor.
I got my people out there
getting the gator.
What? Who? Who did you send out
in the swamp to get this gator?
Relax, Sheriff. We're all here
trying to solve the same situation.
We're on the same team.
My people might not be
the expert your Bithlo is.
But you know, they'll get the job
done. They're professionals.
Quiet!
Let's get back to the boat.
Oh, shit!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Get to the damn boat!
Get going, get to the boat! Come on!
Agh!
Agh!
Get me outta here!
Pull!
Skylar!
I'm stuck!
Come on!
Come on, help me!
Help me.
Dante Williams!
Yo!
Good to see you, man.
See you too, man.
We'll be working together again,
huh?
Just like old times at
the gator farm, huh?
Yes, sir.Wow. I never thought
I'd see you here again, my friend.
It took a whole gator to bring
your ass back to town.
Good to see you, pal.
I'm happy to see you too, Bith.
I'm just glad you're in one piece.
Not as glad as I am.
That gator is huge!
And he's mad too.
He took down my drone.
Damn.
I mean, we obviously ain't messing
with an ordinary gator, so...
That animal is a...apex predator.
And he's on meth.
Be quiet. We don't want
to let the whole town know.
We're gonna have to get him tonight.
We got to be smart about this.
I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna kill it.
OK?
I'm coming too.
Whoa. No civilians.
Yeah. We can't risk
you getting hurt, Anna.
I have a reason to fight.
I lost my dad to meth.
I'm hardly a civilian,
and you know that.
I was the best cop in my class.
And it seems like you
need a lot of help.
And as the mayor said,
Memorial Day weekend
is what keeps Grady's bar open,
and I have to make sure
that stays the same.
This is our island,
and we're gonna fight for it.
OK. We need the help.
Just don't get eaten on my watch.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, honey.
I'm gonna help Sheriff
and Dante with something.
You'll be fine while I'm gone.
Yeah. I'll be good.
Where are you going?
Um... Just some town logistics.
Dad, make sure everything
goes off without a hitch,
especially this weekend with
the parade and everything.
Can you?
OK.
OK.
Love you.
I love you too.
You be careful with them logistics.
OK, I will.
Hurry up.
I'm coming.
Make room, ladies. I'm coming down.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Wow. Couldn't have asked for
a better day, huh?
It's hot.
It's perfect for
Memorial Day weekend.
For the love of God, Daryl.
Can you just keep packing the kayak?
Or I'm putting you back to blender.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh!
Geez!
Daryl!
I got it!
Hey, be careful, Craig.
There's a gator they said has got
bags on the radar.
They're always saying
stuff like that.
Craig, behind you!
Oh, shit!
Sheriff Williams, we need
back-up at the cell tower!
OK, we're on our way.
Did you see that?
We need to get back to Grady's.
Hurry!
What are we going to do?
I don't know. I gotta think.
Hey, Dante, you want to see
what I found?
Yeah.
Look at this.
Is that the gator's tooth?
It is. Isn't that odd?
The whole thing came off
just like that.
That never happens, you know?
Even when they fight,
it never happens.
It's already showing
addictive symptoms.
And soon it's going to feel like
it's developing mites.
You know, it's a tactile
hallucination called formication.
You know, it starts scratching
itself and developing open sores.
But, you know, I've only
seen that happen on humans.
Eat a pound of meth...
..speeds up the process.
You know, soon it's going to
want more meth,
it's not going to stop
until it gets it.
Pops, are you sure those
comms towers are fried?
Our radios only go to
the station right now.
Without that tower,
we have no radio
or cell service to the mainland.
Well, you know, the island's depth,
it makes it approachable
only by mid-size boats
and small-size boats.
And the gator recognises the
small-size boats right away.
So we're cut off.
There's no way to
warn people coming in.
I mean, I want people
coming into Dad's bar,
but not if they're
lining up to be eaten.
We're going to get rid
of that gator.
We need to. I can't get those
red eyes out of my mind.
The eyeshine.
Tapetum lucidum.
It's a reflective retina.
You know, like cat eyes, but
alligators have orange eyes.
They were glowing
bright during the day.
That's indicating it's metabolising
the Schedule 1 drug.
You know, the meth is reflecting
its behaviour. Nothing else.
I know that it's high on meth,
but the sheriff's raid
on the meth lab
was in prime gator territory,
and we know that.
I mean, I don't want our
business to lose money.
But instead of sticking to the
swamp, it came all the way to shore.
We can't have it here
killing more people.
Anna's right. The gator travelled
all the way to the dock.
Yeah, it's probably
looking for its next fix.
Its dopamine levels
are way out the roof.
That means whatever
it's been craving,
it's gonna be replaced by the meth.
So now it's hunting meth
like hunting big game?
Exactly. It's going to kill
whatever's in its way to get it.
We can't let it have
that second chance.
All right, no-one,
and I mean no-one,
can be on the water tonight, OK?
Tell the mayor we're sending out a
patrol car for a water curfew.
All right, huge fines.
You know, I couldn't help
but overhear.
Dad...
You boys say the word, and I'll
go downstairs and I'll get
some of that decommissioned stuff
from the basement.
Now listen, this weekend
is important to me,
but nobody else has to die,
you know what I mean?
Dad, how did you figure it out?
I didn't want you worrying.
I'm not worried. I mean, you know,
I'm a little woohoo, but listen.
No, no, no. That gator's no secret.
And I know you love this town.
I couldn't stop you, and she's not
going to listen to me anyway, right?
True.
Sheriff, the way I look at it,
you're going to need deputies.
The ones you got
really ain't no good.
She, right there, deputise her.
Dad...
She should have never
left the force.
Not for me, anyway.
I can't.
Yes, you can, and you will.
This town needs you more than I do.
Besides, you can come back here
and work the bar
after you're done
killing...meth gators.
What do you say, Sheriff?
Pops, deputise him too. If you're
going to treat him like an officer,
might as well have
the right of one.
OK. We need the help.
Anna Wayna Fort, welcome
back to the Sweetwater PD.
Thank you, Sheriff Williams.
And Bithlo, that applies to you too.
Hot damn! All right, you guys
raise your right hands.
Dad...
Oh.
Sorry, I'll make barbecue.
So sorry, Sheriff. Thank you.
All right, that's settled.
We have a date with the mayor.
Let's go.
Very nice, kids.
Mayor Jensen!
Excuse me.
Sheriff, what is going on out there?
I need those comm towers
so when the mainlanders show up,
they know exactly what's happening
and where during our activities.
And I will never hear the end of it
if I do not have wifi
or cell service.
Mayor Jensen, if we don't
get those people off the boats
and back on the shore, we're
going to have a bloodbath.
I guess you forgot we have
a hungry gator on the loose.
You have no
jurisdiction here, Dante.
I don't have any jurisdiction.
But I do right by our people
on this island.
Well, the people on this
island elected me mayor,
so what I say goes.
Now, Sheriff, I saw what
happened on the dock
and I know that
we've lost four souls.
Four?
I just towed Dwain and Skylar's
boat back to the dock,
at least what's left of it.
I was trying to call you for help,
but there's no cell service.
I am sorry, I'm sorry
about those four people,
but this ain't no ordinary gator.
It ate 50 pounds of meth
and it's 30 feet long.
It's extraordinarily unpredictable
and extremely dangerous.
Dante, I'm aware it's dangerous.
You are?
Because when I left this island,
you just started your first term.
I know where you're going with this.
There were problems
with the police department
when I left and there's
even more problems now.
People are dead! Dead!
And you act like this
is only a minor inconvenience.
Something's not adding up.
You tell me.
What's not adding up?
Meth?
You want me to call the DEA every
time some kid starts tweaking?
Yeah, what about all
the tourists that hear
that Sweetwater Point is a drug den?
What about the people that live here
and try to make a living here?
Now, I'm as upset about this as you
are, but it's just not that simple.
Mr Mayor, that gator killed my
deputy and it's going to kill again.
Whoa!
We better check that out. The gator
could have found the meth lab.
Why are you guys wasting your time?
You got miles of coastline to cover
and you gotta find that
gator by tomorrow.
We're here to do our job.
I expect you to do yours.
Look who is here now,
aren't you, Dante?
I'm gonna get rid
of your meth problem.
After that, I'm gone.
Dante, let's go.
All right, so we gotta tell
everyone to be alert, all right?
We gotta find out
what that explosion was.
You take care of it, Dante.
I got boats coming
tomorrow afternoon.
When those people get
here tomorrow afternoon,
I'll make sure
they're on the streets.
Now Sheriff, you set up your curfew.
We can do without fishing for a day.
At least that's good for my dad.
More people are staying at the bar.
Anna, go spread
the word through town.
Keep people away from the dock.
Keep them in the bar.
Copy that, sir.
Anna, check the inn too, OK?
You did say someone got away
from the drug bust?
Trig.
Trig. Go see if Trig's at the inn.
If that gator was coming to
make a beeline to shore,
there must be some meth
on this island.
Gators have like an extremely
intense sense of smell, OK?
If they smell the meth,
they'll be after it.
They'll find it.
You gotta do what he said.
Stay safe, all right?
You too.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, darling.
Dad, did someone check in today?
Like, someone from the town,
not a tourist.
Uh, yeah.
Some fellow barged in, demanded
a room, and then he cussed me out.
That's not very unusual, right?
That's true too. It is Florida.
But no, this guy is different.
He was probably
the rudest I ever saw.
I don't know if he was local or not,
but I don't think
he was here for my barbecue.
Dad, did he check in today?
Did who check in today?
Dad, the guy that you just told me!
Oh. Oh, yeah. He checked in. Why?
OK. I think he has some
business with Sheriff.
All right.
Oh, Dad. What room?
Uh, 14.
OK.
Damn it.
Oh!
Ha ha ha!
Agh! Oh ha ha!
Oh!
Are you kidding me with these?
These are beautiful. Excuse me.
Sheriff, what's happening?
I'll tell you what's happening,
Mayor. I'm doing my job.
I'm keeping people safe. That's
something we should all be doing.
Now, Sheriff, I told you things
were going to get complicated.
It's all hands on deck.
Be honest with me.
Are you on the take? Huh?
Those drug dealers paying you?
This here's a small island.
A private island.
We all know each other's business.
If there was something
weird going on, you'd know it.
I'd know it.
Isn't that right, Sheriff?
So you go out, you do
whatever you need to do.
You get whoever you need to get.
You talk to Grady about
whatever he's got in his bunker.
I know you need to take care of
the things you need to take care of.
And I'll take care of the things
that I need to take care of.
And we'll see who
gets that gator first.
Don't eat me!
Whew!
Hello?
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Hello? What's going on?
Open this door!
Sir, this is the police.
Shit!
Guys! It's here!
The gator is here!
Are you OK?
Yeah, but it's here.
Take cover, take cover!
These bullets aren't doing
a damn thing!
Aim for the nose.
That's the weakest point.
We pissed it off.
It's heading to the swamp.
It'll be twice as hard
to kill there.
Come on. Let's go.
Pops, did that meth lab
bust on Trig and Shane
give you any leads
to the super lab?
That shack was just used by
low-level meth distributors.
I've been trying
to pinpoint the location
of the super lab for years.
No luck.
I had a few leads,
but the gator ate them.
I'm telling you, buddy,
this gator is not going to OD.
He's going to get stronger,
and if he gets a hold of the stash,
bigger armour, bigger teeth,
invincible.
So, if we don't kill it...
If we don't kill it before it
gets to the super lab,
then it's going to become
unkillable.
We've got to stop it before
it gets its next fix.
Let's go. Let's go! Let's go!
If we want any info
about the big meth lab,
we need to ingratiate ourselves.
What does that mean?
You know my friend Tucker?
He said he could
vouch for us, right?
I told him I was going to sell
him a gator from my farm.
Now, he thinks we're easy money.
All right, now these fights,
they're no joke.
They play big, they bet big.
And if you can take a slap or you
can slap the hell out of them,
yeah, maybe they'll get you drunk
and they won't kill you.
You're not going like that,
you look like a bank teller.
Put this on.
Hurry up, hurry.
Look ready, look ready.
I'm ready.
A hundred proof.
Drink some.
All right.
Shit, Bith, you trying
to break big or some shit?
Man, my gators got to eat, bro.
You some kind of ringer? Don't like
big bets with new people.
Hey man, chill, right?
This is a local boy gone to Tampa,
he's just back for the big night.
He still thinks he's the shit.
Listen, if he wins, I'm rich.
If he doesn't, I've lost
more in a night of worst.
Whatever you say, Bith.
He's got Buck on deck.
Buck?
Listen, you got to extend your arm
all the way to
the side, remember?
And the most important thing,
keep your feet on the ground.
Keep your feet on the ground.
Ladies and gentlemen,
here we have Buck.
He's big, he's mean, and he
likes to knock people out.
Last man to go against Buck
got his jaw broken,
not one, not two, but three places.
Folks, give it up for my man Buck!
House money on the table.
$5,000 purse.
You're in way
over your head, new guy.
Luckily, I'm going
to slap it off you.
Buck goes first!
I'm gonna need you to
put these in your ears.
Buck, put them in your ears.
You know what to do.
Buck goes on two!
That was just my warm-up.
You got it, you got this, come on.
Going on three!
Do it.
OK, meat. You pack a punch.
Got some power behind that.
Come on, come on!
Oof!
Come on, come on.
You can do it, I know you can do
it, I know you can do it, come on.
You got it, you got this, come on.
Hey, Bucky boy.
How does it feel to know you're
about to lose to the new guy?
Bucky boy?
Buck is not getting up!
We have a new winner!
How do you do it, bro?
It's because of my metal jaw
from the gator attack.
You got quite an arm on you, boy.
Full of surprises.
Sorry to take all
your money from you.
Shoot, I'd pay twice as much
to see that big fella go down.
He's getting a little
cocky anyway.
Listen, you seem like
you can help me out
with something that I need.
Round these parts, help don't
come cheap, my friend.
You take half,
I'll take the other half
if you give me what I want.
Well, you have my attention.
I want the meth lab,
not the small one or a shed.
Talking about the big one.
It's a good investment.
Tell you what,
I'll take you personally
and bright and early
tomorrow morning.
Meet you back here at 11.30am.
Think you're up for it?
Enough time to -
No.
That's too late.
We go now or this money walks.
All right, look, you can take
all of it. The whole thing.
Now you're talking my language.
Let's roll, boys!
I'll take you to the lab.
It's down yonder through
the swamp on a little island.
We built a tricky way
to get there.
Come on, guys!
You sure we can trust this guy?
Nope. What choice have we got?
What are y'all talking
about down there?
Nothing.
Just thought this line was
tore down a while ago.
It's very swampy back there.
Yeah, tourists don't use it,
but we fixed it up.
Ready?
Come on, buckle in, let's go!
You in?
Yeah!
Wait, what's happening? The line
stopped. What's going on?
You honestly think I'm going to
take you on a tour of a meth lab?
Dante Williams, son of Sheriff
Williams, and a DEA agent?
You must think I'm stupid.
You know who I am?
Your pops has been keeping an eye
on this operation for months.
We've had eyes on you
longer than you know.
OK, you know I got to stop you and
I have to protect this island.
All I know is, there ain't no way
I'm letting you anywhere
near that lab, man.
Not one chance in hell.
If you think five grand
is going to move the needle on me,
you're dead wrong.
This lab made me more money
in one day than years of work.
Nah.
You're going to die right here.
Hey!
No-one can hear the gunshots.
When I put you in the
quicksand in Moccasin Wallow,
they aren't ever going to find you.
Oh, shit!
Agh!
You see that?!
Shit!
Agh!
Agh!
Get up! Get up!
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Go! Come on!
Mr Mayor, you doing alright?
I've been better, Grady.
Well, we've all been better.
The trick is just
keeping a level head.
A level head.
Huh.
Make it a double.
Mr Mayor, I know we're under
lockdown and all that,
but you've had a whole
lot to drink. Maybe...
Maybe you ought to
take it easy a little bit?
I know what I can
and can't do, Grady.
Mr Mayor, I'm not saying -
Look, I...
I just sent two people
into the swamp.
They got killed.
Why did I do that?
I'm doing it because I'm trying to
keep this town alive and afloat.
Why can't anyone see that?
Mayor, we see it.
Bill...
We appreciate you, we do.
It just got...complicated.
Yeah.
I'm gonna make things
a lot less complicated.
Hey, gator!
Come and get your meth!
You think it's gone?
I don't know. Ain't heard
or seen anything in a while.
Maybe he's not hungry any more.
Bithlo, we both
worked that gator ranch.
When was the last time you
haven't seen a hungry alligator?
Fair point.
Exactly.
Come on, better get
back to the mainland.
Thought we were going to the lab.
Look at this little island,
all right? There's nothing on here.
It's probably back at
the mainland or something.
I have to agree
with you on that one.
I'm not swimming in that water.
To get to the mainland,
you understand?
There's no way.
Yeah.
All right. Well, listen,
boats usually wash up here
after hurricanes,
so maybe we can find one.
Well, let's look for something
to call for someone, all right?
There's got to be a radio somewhere.
Dante!
Come here, I found something!
Liam, copy, this is Bithlo.
Liam, do you copy?
Yes, I copy.
Hey, come and pick us up in the west
side of the island, all right?
We are the west side of
the island in the shallow bay.
Come and pick us up.
Already on my way.
All right, copy.
Come on, you freak!
We're here! We're over here!
Too afraid to show yourself?
Come here, you son of a bitch!
Mayor!
Sheriff!
Anna, grab the shotgun
in front seat.
Son of a bitch!
Did you see that?
You hurt him and made him mad.
Sheriff!
Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
I think you shot him.
You scared him for sure.
Come on, let's go!
We have to go after him
while he's weak.
No, no. No, I hurt my leg
dodging that damn car.
I don't want you going alone.
Killed Mayor Jensen?
Yeah.
He's still moving around.
He must have locked on
to something else.
I hope for everybody's sake,
it's not the meth lab or...
Or Dante and Bithlo.
Should we warn them?
The best thing we can do is
go back, regroup, and arm up.
Let's go to Grady's.
OK.
Wait, I see something.
Stop the boat!
OK.
I can't believe this.
I can't believe -
Shh!
What is it? What is it?
We got to go.
Let's get back to Grady's.
We can't stop those people from
coming to the shore on those boats.
What we need to do is we can
fight to get off this island,
or we can fight
to stay on this island.
Look, I was thinking,
maybe we try to lure it
to the quicksand in Moccasin Wallow
that Tucker was taking us to.
Because we'd be dead.
Quicksand didn't trap
the gator last time.
Yeah, no, but Tucker
had to be going out there
for a reason, right?
You said there was
nothing suspicious
with your satellite photos.
Bithlo, the last 24 hours
we've seen nothing on this island.
The only place we haven't checked
thoroughly is Moccasin Wallow.
Didn't you say there was
waterways to get to there?
Yeah, that's right.
We've had a couple of bad storms.
That makes those areas passable.
Perfect. That's where
we'll lure the gator.
OK, OK.
I-I'll take the bar's bell,
and I'll ring it like hell.
And I've got some bags of meth
that we've captured
from some past raids.
We'll use it as bait.
That's perfect.
Alright. Pop, you're gonna
go will get the bait.
Bithlo, call Leon
to see if the boat's good.
OK. Let's gear up.
Come on. Let's do it.
Hey, uh, Grady,
you got anything back there
bigger that we can use?
Yeah, I got something bigger.
No! Wha-?!
I thought you said that RPG
wasn't real when we were younger.
Oh, I lied.
Let's kill this thing.
Listen to me, son.
Take care of my daughter.
Yes, sir.
With all this quicksand and mud
and tides going in and out, Dante,
I don't see how anyone
can build a meth lab out here.
You're right.
Even if it was camouflaged,
we'd already seen
a large structure by now.
Damn it.
Alright, look, this is
what we're gonna do, OK?
Bithlo, you're gonna do
the gator call.
Pops, shake that meth over the water
and lead the gator up in here. OK?
And once we get him in here,
we're gonna trap him and flank him.
Anna, you're gonna be on one side,
Bithlo, you're on the other.
Alright?
I never thought
I'd be using meth to do good.
Guys, watch the banks
around this river.
It's quicksand on that side
and solid ground on the other.
Oh.
What's that?
What are you talking about?
There shouldn't be any PVC
pipes out here, unless they're
attached to something.
There's more.
They're everywhere.
It looks like we're standing
right in the middle of it.
Guys, I think we just found
our super lab.
Could be fish and wildlife.
No. No, there shouldn't be
anything manmade out here.
Check it out.
Let's open the hatch.
Hold it, hold it. Get low.
Ready? One, two, go.
Oh, my God, we found it.
It's like a football stadium.
There's gotta be
other people down here.
Dad, you gotta call
for backup soon.
Woah!
This... This is incredible.
This is it!
Pops.
It's the meth lab you've been
looking for for years.
Yeah.
And this is enough meth
to turn that alligator
into the worst creature
we've ever seen.
You're right there, Williams.
This gator is gonna be out of
control if he gets a hold of this.
Bithlo, it looks like
it's the ventilation on the wall.
Switch it on for us.
Sure thing.
Man, this place...
it smell like cat piss.
The ventilation
in these pipes are amazing.
Whoa!
They asphyxiated.
My guess is, a storm came through
and the power got knocked out.
They put on the generator but...
the air wasn't circulating.
That's why the gator never went
straight for this place.
There was no smell out of the lab.
Dante...
if this place is underground,
then it's secure.
Let's just get the gator down here,
lock the door
and throw away the key.
No, because if we gave him
an unlimited supply of meth,
we don't know how
uncontrollable he'll be.
We need to take him out
and take him out quick.
We got it?
It's here.
Let's go.
Do you know how to fire that RPG?
I'm DEA, not military.
Hey, Pops.
You can take the shot, Dante.
A-Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm too old.
These two haven't had the training.
You know where the trigger
and the safety are.
We'll figure out the rest.
Just aim and fire, one shot.
Make it count, Dante.
Where is it?!
It's overwhelmed by the meth.
It's coming!There!Open fire!
Fire!
Die, you piece of shit!
Dante?
I think I see him.
There it is!
It's dead! But where's Dante?
Tell Grady we owe him.
Big time.
And we did it. It's over.
Just in time for the parade
and the fireworks.
Wow.
Look at you all cleaned up.
Mm-hmm.
You look good.
I'm proud of you, son.
You're a credit to the DEA.
Thanks, Pops.
I gotta give a thank you
to Grady though for the RPG.
Yes.
And Sweetwater Point
is back open for business.
I think I want to go back to
that lab and skin me some gator.
I want a trophy off that sucker.
What? I don't think
you can use that meat.
Don't you want to put it on the
barbecue and get everyone tweaking?
You're gonna miss the parade.
Well, man,
with everything that happened,
you know, it's just,
I want to be alone for a little bit.
I'll be back for the fireworks, OK?
Alright, don't be gone too long.
Alright, man.
Alright.
Let's go.
There you are, you bastard.
Wait the-?!
Sheriff.
Sheriff, do you copy?
Sheriff! Anybody there?
Do you copy?
The gator's gone.
He's not here!
He's shed.
He must be twice as big now.
He's gone!
I'm gonna come for you guys.
The gator's here.
We gotta warn people.
Run! Run!
Backup. We need backup.
Air Force, National Guard, anybody.
Run!
Almost there. Come on! Almost there.
No! Dad! No!
Dad, get in the car.
Get in the car now.
Dante!
That thing is taking everything.
Our houses, our business.
Where's Sheriff?
Dante? Dante, where's your dad?
Dante, get the hell out of there.
You think we lost it?
No, I don't think so.
Dante.
Dante, where's your dad?
Where's your dad?
Listen, no matter what,
we got to fight this thing.
Alright?
OK.
What about the fireworks?
The barge.
Yes!
Yes, a lot of explosiveness.
We can use- There's a lot of them.
The Mayor made sure
we have a lot of them.
Let's use that.
Yeah, you're right.
Leon, drop Anna off
and take me to the fireworks barge.
That's where I'll lure the gator.
How? How are you going to do that?
With bait.
Anna, you still got that shirt
I wore at the meth lab?
Yeah, yeah, it's at the bar
where you left it.
OK, good. I'll take that
and I'll shake it out over the water
and I'll lead the gator towards me.
And that's when Grady's
gonna blast off
the final firework, OK?
Well, hold on. What about you?
Where are you going to be
when it hits?
Don't worry about me, alright?
Just get me there.
I'll take all the remaining meth
so the gator will be drawn to me...
and no one else.
Here.
Are you good?
I'm good.
Because you're not good to us dead.
Yeah, and that gator
ain't good to us alive.
We end this now.
Alright.
Let's go.
Hey, Grady, come in.
Yeah, go for Grady.
Son, we're prepping
the fireworks cannon.
Filling it with everything we got.
Once we fire this,
you've got to jump out of the way.
It's going to activate
dozens and dozens
of massive fireworks near you.
Alright. Listen, when I see him,
I'll give you the signal, alright?
Yeah, copy that.
I know he's close.
I can smell it.
It's right nearby.
Come on.
I hear him. He's near you guys.
Why is he coming for us?
Baby, he's not coming for us.
We're just in the way.
Oh, shit! Move!
Shit!
Baby?
Dante, it's in the water.
It's coming for you.
I'll let you know when.
Come on. Come on!
Come on!
You OK?
Yeah. Are you?
Oh, shit. Shit.
No.
The cannon.
What? Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Come on! Come on! Come on!
We got to lift this up
so we can fire it.
OK, OK.
Alright.Is it good?It's good.
We'll put this on your shoulder
and you're going to blow
that alligator.Are you sure?!
Stand up for me.
Come get me!
Come to me! Come to me!
Alright. Hold steady. Hold steady.
I can't.
Hold steady. Yes, baby.
You can. You can.
It's too heavy!
It's not heavy, baby.
You can do this.
Baby, I got you.
We gotta fire. We gotta fire.
I'm here with you.
Hold on. Hold on.
Listen to me.
When this thing kicks,
you've got to hold on
with everything you've got.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
You understand me?
Yes.
Baby?
Yes.
You got this.
I love you.
Now, Dante.
We did it.
We killed the gator!
We did it!We did it!
We did it! We did it! Whoo!
We did it!
We got you!
Take that!
Whoo! Whoa!
Dante?
Dante?
Come in, Dante.
Dante?
Oh, no.
He's alive.
Follow me, we're gonna get him.
There he is!
I got him.
Grady, give me a hand.
Give me a hand!
Come on. Help me.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Grab him. Grab him.
Come on. Come on.
Dante! Dante!
Let her work on him.
Let her work on him.
Come on.
Take it off.
Dante! Wake up! Come on, man!
Dante!
Come on, Dante.
Dante!
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, buddy, come on!
Dante!
Come on, Dante.
Ah! Yes.
Ha!
Toast for your Pops.
Saved us all.
To the bravest guy I know.
Now we know where you get it.
To Sheriff Williams.
Sheriff Williams.
And to all those...
who gave their lives saving ours.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss you.
Well, I don't know.
I gotta stay for a little bit.
Gotta get Pop's affairs in order,
and I get to work with
Stillwater's newest officer.
This means you're coming out
of retirement, right, Officer Fort?
Someone's gotta
get those gators, don't they?
That's funny.
Look what I found. Hmm?
AccessibleCustomerService@Sky.uk
Trig! Shane! Sheriff Williams!
Drop the bags, put the hands up.
Drop the bag now.
Put the bag down
and your hands up, Shane.
You sure you want to do this?
Huh! Oh!
Run, Trig!
You sure you're OK?
Yeah.
I got 'em.
OK, I'll call for help.
This is Sheriff Williams
over at Trig's shack.
We need back-up. We got runners.
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Screw you, Shane!
You can't tell me what to do!
Chicken! I'm not going down
without a fight!
You're crazy!
Ha ha!
Er... Er...
Agh!
Drop the meth and
put your hands on your head!
Doesn't have to end like this, OK?
You got him, Farmer?
I got him, Sheriff.
Good.
I'm going to go find Shane.
Ugh! Ugh!
Shane?
Come on, man.
Come on.
Can we do something here?
We'll see what we can do.
All right.
I'm coming.
Agh!
Come on, Trig.
It doesn't have to be like this.
You're not in your right head.
Just tell me where the super lab is.
If I tell you, will you let me go?
You know I can't do that, Trig.
You'll be helping a lot of people.
Like I care.
Farmer, look out!
Agh!
Oh! Ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Now, I trust that
this is enough money
to keep the gator hunt quiet.
Yes, sir.
We got him, Mayor Janssen.
I don't care how you do it,
but that gator's got to be gone
before the tourists get here.
Yes, sir.
Aren't the police actually involved?
We don't need to get into
all of that.
It's just another nuisance
alligator as we've had before.
It's just a little bit bigger.
No problem.
Thank you again for your discretion.
Now, you get back, as always,
first round's on me.
All right, get going.
You're losing daylight.
Thank you.
Good to see you, son.
Good to see you, Pops.
That's Sheriff Williams to you,
Mr Tampa DEA man.
I'm sorry to bring you here
under these circumstances.
I was hoping the next time
that I see you,
you'd kind of do a little
victory lap for all of us
and tell us how you cleaned up
Tampa, the Keys,
and Florida, of all the meth labs,
including us.
Yeah, well, I'm working
on that, Pop.
It just sucks that I got
to come back here for this.
Well, I'm sorry I had to bring
you back to deal with a gator
of all things, especially since...
Pop, I'm fine, all right? I'm just
more sorry about Deputy Farmer.
I know, it's tough,
but he was a good cop.
Yeah, he was like family.
If there's a meth lab on this
island, I got to find it.
We have found bags of the stuff.
I'm beginning to think
it's cartel related.
I'll try to look into it.
It's not related to the cartel.
If that was the case, I would have
bought the whole cavalry.
Is that all you packed?
Where's all your DEA gear?
Pops, we got the same gear
that you do, all right?
Come on. We got to get to the
mayor's event at Grady's.
That's why I wanted you
to get here early.
To convince him to put the island on
the dangerous waters alert
until we know what
we're dealing with.
I've tried to talk to him.
He doesn't listen to me.
Let's go.
Bithlo, your buddy that
you used to work with
at the Sweetwater Reptile Ranch?
He's tracking the gator. He's out
there with a drone and everything.
No luck yet, but it's
just a matter of time.
Yeah, well, no-one knows gators
like Bithlo, that's for sure.
You know, Pops, this place
never changes.
I can still smell Grady's bar as
I was coming in over the water.
I swear that deep fryer never stops.
Yep.
Why don't you tell me
exactly what we're dealing with
so I know how to handle the mayor?
You think you got a killer gator
on meth?
I don't think. I know.
I saw it myself.
This thing is massive.
It ate an entire duffel bag
full of meth.
How much meth are we talking?
A lot. A big bag.
Swallowed it whole.
By the time I figured out what
was going on, it was too late.
There was nothing
I could do for Farmer.
People are beginning to already
arrive for the Memorial Day weekend.
So the sooner we can catch
this gator, the better.
The good thing is the last
ferry has already arrived,
so you don't have
to worry about that.
But if we can catch this gator
by tomorrow, we should be OK.
Understood.
So, how's Anna? I mean,
I know she used to love
the Memorial Day festivities, so...
She didn't tell you?
She quit the force
to go work for Grady.
He was slowing down.
She was insistent
that she helped him out.
I'm surprised she didn't tell you.
No, we really don't
talk much any more, so...
Hm. Well, you know,
her biological father
used to work for
a Cuban drug lord years ago,
and it was the Tampa DEA office
that busted him.
But that was like middle school.
I don't think she should
hold that against you.
I mean, I don't know, Pop.
I'd be upset too if my best friend
joined the same organisation
that got my father.
Best friend? I think you're
a little more than that.
No, Pop, what I'm saying
was that, you know,
she would have wanted
this island clean, OK?
And she wouldn't want anyone else
to go through that loss either.
I'm glad she's helping Grady though.
She probably still feels like
she owes him for adopting her.
That's real sad about the force.
She had a bright future.
She still does.
Wait, Pop, did you say that the
gator ate a duffel bag full of meth?
Are you sure it's not
underwater dead somewhere?
It's probably bloated and rotten
off of Hallelujah Pass.
You know, he seemed
to actually get stronger.
We couldn't find any evidence of it
anywhere.
We had some perps that may
have run off with it,
but I'm convinced
that gator got its fill.
I mean, sure. That first hit
of meth, you know, he felt no pain.
Neurons firing at max,
his muscles rigid.
I agree with you. It'll make him
real hard to stop.
It's hard to take a human down on
meth if you hit them with a Taser.
He would feel incredible euphoria,
invincibility,
and then he'd be addicted.
But any animal ingesting that
much meth would just OD and die.
You didn't see it.
This isn't just any animal.
We got to round up all that meth on
the island before he gets to it.
Or else it could be
way worse than that.
I'm talking about induced psychosis.
It'll be way more violent, Pops.
I know it's an island, but
there's a lot of places to hide.
Finding a meth super lab,
taking down a meth-eating gator,
that's a tall order.
That's why you hired an expert.
The mayor wants
to keep things quiet.
Memorial Day weekend's a big deal.
Yeah, Pops, you and I both know
that anything dealing with gators
and humans never stays quiet.
That is why Sweetwater Point is the
best place to be on Memorial Day.
We got food.
We got games for the kiddos.
We got plenty of
Grady's Dockside Bar And Inn
famous drinks for the grown-ups.
We're going to have a big parade.
The fireworks finale is
fired off by Grady himself,
a vet of the US of A.
Hey, look who we have here.
Keeping our beautiful island safe,
as always, for families,
the Williams lawmen,
back together again.
Happy Memorial Day weekend.
And, as always, first round's on me.
Mayor Jensen. I have
a couple of questions
about what happened
on the island last night.
I understand. I understand.
I'm going to have to put that off
just for a little bit.
Excuse me, sir.
Yeah!
Uh... I'm looking forward to it.
I'm going to call Bithlo
and check in,
see if he's spotted anything
on that drone of his.
Good idea. If he has seen something,
we can make a plan of attack.
OK. Sounds good. Catch you later.
See you, Pops.
Bithlo, are you there?
I'm here, Sheriff.
What do you got for me? Any luck?
I may have a visual
on the gator soon.
Sheriff...
This gator is much, much larger
than I can handle.
Ohh!
Bithlo, are you there?
Bithlo, answer me.
Sheriff, this gator is no joke.
If I had this gator on the ranch,
I would have put him
down the same day.
This one is just different, Sheriff.
Just get back here in one piece.
Hey.
What can I get you...Dante?
Hey, Anna.
Hey, yourself.
Listen, I just wanted to say...
You wanted to get in
on this open tab.
First round goes quick.
Um... Yeah.
I'll take the usual.
Sure. I got you.
Thanks.
There you go. On the mayor.
After that, you have a tab.
You don't want to pay it for me?
OK, I'm sorry. OK.
I thought Tampa
would have changed you.
But... You look good.
I'm still the same, I guess.
You look good, too.
I don't know about that.
Well, I do.
Dante?
Boy, is that you?
I am going to hug you right now.
But I smell like bacon grease and
motor oil. Is that all right?
It's worth the risk, Grady. Come on.
God, boy it's so good to see you!
You look so good.
Holy mackerel!
You staying here at the inn?
No, actually I'm staying
with my pops.
That's fair enough. I get that.
Makes sense, right?
Hey, Sheriff.
We all heard about Farmer.
We're sorry about him.
Thank you.
We love him.
He was a good man. Good cop.
We're going to do something
special for him at the parade.
We're going to do,
like, a big tribute.
I'm going to take that gun there
and I'm going to do some bang-bang.
Do you have anything bigger?
I got just the thing.
And for the rest of us, I'll make
some damn good barbecue.
We're going to celebrate life.
Sheriff, again, I want to offer my
sincere condolences about Farmer.
He was a good cop. We want to give
him a memorial that he would want.
He loved it here.
Yes, he did.
Grady and I were just
talking about that.
But, Mr Mayor, if you and
I could have a moment, please.
Bithlo has spotted the
gator that got Farmer.
It's massive. It's no ordinary
gator. We have to get it now.
Yes, of course.
Of course we got to get it.
We are going to get it.
Now, listen here, the tourists
and the taxpayers
that are coming here this weekend
pay good money.
Money that pays
your salary, Sheriff.
I understand, Mr Mayor.
I got my people out there
getting the gator.
What? Who? Who did you send out
in the swamp to get this gator?
Relax, Sheriff. We're all here
trying to solve the same situation.
We're on the same team.
My people might not be
the expert your Bithlo is.
But you know, they'll get the job
done. They're professionals.
Quiet!
Let's get back to the boat.
Oh, shit!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Get to the damn boat!
Get going, get to the boat! Come on!
Agh!
Agh!
Get me outta here!
Pull!
Skylar!
I'm stuck!
Come on!
Come on, help me!
Help me.
Dante Williams!
Yo!
Good to see you, man.
See you too, man.
We'll be working together again,
huh?
Just like old times at
the gator farm, huh?
Yes, sir.Wow. I never thought
I'd see you here again, my friend.
It took a whole gator to bring
your ass back to town.
Good to see you, pal.
I'm happy to see you too, Bith.
I'm just glad you're in one piece.
Not as glad as I am.
That gator is huge!
And he's mad too.
He took down my drone.
Damn.
I mean, we obviously ain't messing
with an ordinary gator, so...
That animal is a...apex predator.
And he's on meth.
Be quiet. We don't want
to let the whole town know.
We're gonna have to get him tonight.
We got to be smart about this.
I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna kill it.
OK?
I'm coming too.
Whoa. No civilians.
Yeah. We can't risk
you getting hurt, Anna.
I have a reason to fight.
I lost my dad to meth.
I'm hardly a civilian,
and you know that.
I was the best cop in my class.
And it seems like you
need a lot of help.
And as the mayor said,
Memorial Day weekend
is what keeps Grady's bar open,
and I have to make sure
that stays the same.
This is our island,
and we're gonna fight for it.
OK. We need the help.
Just don't get eaten on my watch.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, honey.
I'm gonna help Sheriff
and Dante with something.
You'll be fine while I'm gone.
Yeah. I'll be good.
Where are you going?
Um... Just some town logistics.
Dad, make sure everything
goes off without a hitch,
especially this weekend with
the parade and everything.
Can you?
OK.
OK.
Love you.
I love you too.
You be careful with them logistics.
OK, I will.
Hurry up.
I'm coming.
Make room, ladies. I'm coming down.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Wow. Couldn't have asked for
a better day, huh?
It's hot.
It's perfect for
Memorial Day weekend.
For the love of God, Daryl.
Can you just keep packing the kayak?
Or I'm putting you back to blender.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh!
Geez!
Daryl!
I got it!
Hey, be careful, Craig.
There's a gator they said has got
bags on the radar.
They're always saying
stuff like that.
Craig, behind you!
Oh, shit!
Sheriff Williams, we need
back-up at the cell tower!
OK, we're on our way.
Did you see that?
We need to get back to Grady's.
Hurry!
What are we going to do?
I don't know. I gotta think.
Hey, Dante, you want to see
what I found?
Yeah.
Look at this.
Is that the gator's tooth?
It is. Isn't that odd?
The whole thing came off
just like that.
That never happens, you know?
Even when they fight,
it never happens.
It's already showing
addictive symptoms.
And soon it's going to feel like
it's developing mites.
You know, it's a tactile
hallucination called formication.
You know, it starts scratching
itself and developing open sores.
But, you know, I've only
seen that happen on humans.
Eat a pound of meth...
..speeds up the process.
You know, soon it's going to
want more meth,
it's not going to stop
until it gets it.
Pops, are you sure those
comms towers are fried?
Our radios only go to
the station right now.
Without that tower,
we have no radio
or cell service to the mainland.
Well, you know, the island's depth,
it makes it approachable
only by mid-size boats
and small-size boats.
And the gator recognises the
small-size boats right away.
So we're cut off.
There's no way to
warn people coming in.
I mean, I want people
coming into Dad's bar,
but not if they're
lining up to be eaten.
We're going to get rid
of that gator.
We need to. I can't get those
red eyes out of my mind.
The eyeshine.
Tapetum lucidum.
It's a reflective retina.
You know, like cat eyes, but
alligators have orange eyes.
They were glowing
bright during the day.
That's indicating it's metabolising
the Schedule 1 drug.
You know, the meth is reflecting
its behaviour. Nothing else.
I know that it's high on meth,
but the sheriff's raid
on the meth lab
was in prime gator territory,
and we know that.
I mean, I don't want our
business to lose money.
But instead of sticking to the
swamp, it came all the way to shore.
We can't have it here
killing more people.
Anna's right. The gator travelled
all the way to the dock.
Yeah, it's probably
looking for its next fix.
Its dopamine levels
are way out the roof.
That means whatever
it's been craving,
it's gonna be replaced by the meth.
So now it's hunting meth
like hunting big game?
Exactly. It's going to kill
whatever's in its way to get it.
We can't let it have
that second chance.
All right, no-one,
and I mean no-one,
can be on the water tonight, OK?
Tell the mayor we're sending out a
patrol car for a water curfew.
All right, huge fines.
You know, I couldn't help
but overhear.
Dad...
You boys say the word, and I'll
go downstairs and I'll get
some of that decommissioned stuff
from the basement.
Now listen, this weekend
is important to me,
but nobody else has to die,
you know what I mean?
Dad, how did you figure it out?
I didn't want you worrying.
I'm not worried. I mean, you know,
I'm a little woohoo, but listen.
No, no, no. That gator's no secret.
And I know you love this town.
I couldn't stop you, and she's not
going to listen to me anyway, right?
True.
Sheriff, the way I look at it,
you're going to need deputies.
The ones you got
really ain't no good.
She, right there, deputise her.
Dad...
She should have never
left the force.
Not for me, anyway.
I can't.
Yes, you can, and you will.
This town needs you more than I do.
Besides, you can come back here
and work the bar
after you're done
killing...meth gators.
What do you say, Sheriff?
Pops, deputise him too. If you're
going to treat him like an officer,
might as well have
the right of one.
OK. We need the help.
Anna Wayna Fort, welcome
back to the Sweetwater PD.
Thank you, Sheriff Williams.
And Bithlo, that applies to you too.
Hot damn! All right, you guys
raise your right hands.
Dad...
Oh.
Sorry, I'll make barbecue.
So sorry, Sheriff. Thank you.
All right, that's settled.
We have a date with the mayor.
Let's go.
Very nice, kids.
Mayor Jensen!
Excuse me.
Sheriff, what is going on out there?
I need those comm towers
so when the mainlanders show up,
they know exactly what's happening
and where during our activities.
And I will never hear the end of it
if I do not have wifi
or cell service.
Mayor Jensen, if we don't
get those people off the boats
and back on the shore, we're
going to have a bloodbath.
I guess you forgot we have
a hungry gator on the loose.
You have no
jurisdiction here, Dante.
I don't have any jurisdiction.
But I do right by our people
on this island.
Well, the people on this
island elected me mayor,
so what I say goes.
Now, Sheriff, I saw what
happened on the dock
and I know that
we've lost four souls.
Four?
I just towed Dwain and Skylar's
boat back to the dock,
at least what's left of it.
I was trying to call you for help,
but there's no cell service.
I am sorry, I'm sorry
about those four people,
but this ain't no ordinary gator.
It ate 50 pounds of meth
and it's 30 feet long.
It's extraordinarily unpredictable
and extremely dangerous.
Dante, I'm aware it's dangerous.
You are?
Because when I left this island,
you just started your first term.
I know where you're going with this.
There were problems
with the police department
when I left and there's
even more problems now.
People are dead! Dead!
And you act like this
is only a minor inconvenience.
Something's not adding up.
You tell me.
What's not adding up?
Meth?
You want me to call the DEA every
time some kid starts tweaking?
Yeah, what about all
the tourists that hear
that Sweetwater Point is a drug den?
What about the people that live here
and try to make a living here?
Now, I'm as upset about this as you
are, but it's just not that simple.
Mr Mayor, that gator killed my
deputy and it's going to kill again.
Whoa!
We better check that out. The gator
could have found the meth lab.
Why are you guys wasting your time?
You got miles of coastline to cover
and you gotta find that
gator by tomorrow.
We're here to do our job.
I expect you to do yours.
Look who is here now,
aren't you, Dante?
I'm gonna get rid
of your meth problem.
After that, I'm gone.
Dante, let's go.
All right, so we gotta tell
everyone to be alert, all right?
We gotta find out
what that explosion was.
You take care of it, Dante.
I got boats coming
tomorrow afternoon.
When those people get
here tomorrow afternoon,
I'll make sure
they're on the streets.
Now Sheriff, you set up your curfew.
We can do without fishing for a day.
At least that's good for my dad.
More people are staying at the bar.
Anna, go spread
the word through town.
Keep people away from the dock.
Keep them in the bar.
Copy that, sir.
Anna, check the inn too, OK?
You did say someone got away
from the drug bust?
Trig.
Trig. Go see if Trig's at the inn.
If that gator was coming to
make a beeline to shore,
there must be some meth
on this island.
Gators have like an extremely
intense sense of smell, OK?
If they smell the meth,
they'll be after it.
They'll find it.
You gotta do what he said.
Stay safe, all right?
You too.
All right, let's go.
All right, let's go.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, darling.
Dad, did someone check in today?
Like, someone from the town,
not a tourist.
Uh, yeah.
Some fellow barged in, demanded
a room, and then he cussed me out.
That's not very unusual, right?
That's true too. It is Florida.
But no, this guy is different.
He was probably
the rudest I ever saw.
I don't know if he was local or not,
but I don't think
he was here for my barbecue.
Dad, did he check in today?
Did who check in today?
Dad, the guy that you just told me!
Oh. Oh, yeah. He checked in. Why?
OK. I think he has some
business with Sheriff.
All right.
Oh, Dad. What room?
Uh, 14.
OK.
Damn it.
Oh!
Ha ha ha!
Agh! Oh ha ha!
Oh!
Are you kidding me with these?
These are beautiful. Excuse me.
Sheriff, what's happening?
I'll tell you what's happening,
Mayor. I'm doing my job.
I'm keeping people safe. That's
something we should all be doing.
Now, Sheriff, I told you things
were going to get complicated.
It's all hands on deck.
Be honest with me.
Are you on the take? Huh?
Those drug dealers paying you?
This here's a small island.
A private island.
We all know each other's business.
If there was something
weird going on, you'd know it.
I'd know it.
Isn't that right, Sheriff?
So you go out, you do
whatever you need to do.
You get whoever you need to get.
You talk to Grady about
whatever he's got in his bunker.
I know you need to take care of
the things you need to take care of.
And I'll take care of the things
that I need to take care of.
And we'll see who
gets that gator first.
Don't eat me!
Whew!
Hello?
Oh, no, no, no, no!
Hello? What's going on?
Open this door!
Sir, this is the police.
Shit!
Guys! It's here!
The gator is here!
Are you OK?
Yeah, but it's here.
Take cover, take cover!
These bullets aren't doing
a damn thing!
Aim for the nose.
That's the weakest point.
We pissed it off.
It's heading to the swamp.
It'll be twice as hard
to kill there.
Come on. Let's go.
Pops, did that meth lab
bust on Trig and Shane
give you any leads
to the super lab?
That shack was just used by
low-level meth distributors.
I've been trying
to pinpoint the location
of the super lab for years.
No luck.
I had a few leads,
but the gator ate them.
I'm telling you, buddy,
this gator is not going to OD.
He's going to get stronger,
and if he gets a hold of the stash,
bigger armour, bigger teeth,
invincible.
So, if we don't kill it...
If we don't kill it before it
gets to the super lab,
then it's going to become
unkillable.
We've got to stop it before
it gets its next fix.
Let's go. Let's go! Let's go!
If we want any info
about the big meth lab,
we need to ingratiate ourselves.
What does that mean?
You know my friend Tucker?
He said he could
vouch for us, right?
I told him I was going to sell
him a gator from my farm.
Now, he thinks we're easy money.
All right, now these fights,
they're no joke.
They play big, they bet big.
And if you can take a slap or you
can slap the hell out of them,
yeah, maybe they'll get you drunk
and they won't kill you.
You're not going like that,
you look like a bank teller.
Put this on.
Hurry up, hurry.
Look ready, look ready.
I'm ready.
A hundred proof.
Drink some.
All right.
Shit, Bith, you trying
to break big or some shit?
Man, my gators got to eat, bro.
You some kind of ringer? Don't like
big bets with new people.
Hey man, chill, right?
This is a local boy gone to Tampa,
he's just back for the big night.
He still thinks he's the shit.
Listen, if he wins, I'm rich.
If he doesn't, I've lost
more in a night of worst.
Whatever you say, Bith.
He's got Buck on deck.
Buck?
Listen, you got to extend your arm
all the way to
the side, remember?
And the most important thing,
keep your feet on the ground.
Keep your feet on the ground.
Ladies and gentlemen,
here we have Buck.
He's big, he's mean, and he
likes to knock people out.
Last man to go against Buck
got his jaw broken,
not one, not two, but three places.
Folks, give it up for my man Buck!
House money on the table.
$5,000 purse.
You're in way
over your head, new guy.
Luckily, I'm going
to slap it off you.
Buck goes first!
I'm gonna need you to
put these in your ears.
Buck, put them in your ears.
You know what to do.
Buck goes on two!
That was just my warm-up.
You got it, you got this, come on.
Going on three!
Do it.
OK, meat. You pack a punch.
Got some power behind that.
Come on, come on!
Oof!
Come on, come on.
You can do it, I know you can do
it, I know you can do it, come on.
You got it, you got this, come on.
Hey, Bucky boy.
How does it feel to know you're
about to lose to the new guy?
Bucky boy?
Buck is not getting up!
We have a new winner!
How do you do it, bro?
It's because of my metal jaw
from the gator attack.
You got quite an arm on you, boy.
Full of surprises.
Sorry to take all
your money from you.
Shoot, I'd pay twice as much
to see that big fella go down.
He's getting a little
cocky anyway.
Listen, you seem like
you can help me out
with something that I need.
Round these parts, help don't
come cheap, my friend.
You take half,
I'll take the other half
if you give me what I want.
Well, you have my attention.
I want the meth lab,
not the small one or a shed.
Talking about the big one.
It's a good investment.
Tell you what,
I'll take you personally
and bright and early
tomorrow morning.
Meet you back here at 11.30am.
Think you're up for it?
Enough time to -
No.
That's too late.
We go now or this money walks.
All right, look, you can take
all of it. The whole thing.
Now you're talking my language.
Let's roll, boys!
I'll take you to the lab.
It's down yonder through
the swamp on a little island.
We built a tricky way
to get there.
Come on, guys!
You sure we can trust this guy?
Nope. What choice have we got?
What are y'all talking
about down there?
Nothing.
Just thought this line was
tore down a while ago.
It's very swampy back there.
Yeah, tourists don't use it,
but we fixed it up.
Ready?
Come on, buckle in, let's go!
You in?
Yeah!
Wait, what's happening? The line
stopped. What's going on?
You honestly think I'm going to
take you on a tour of a meth lab?
Dante Williams, son of Sheriff
Williams, and a DEA agent?
You must think I'm stupid.
You know who I am?
Your pops has been keeping an eye
on this operation for months.
We've had eyes on you
longer than you know.
OK, you know I got to stop you and
I have to protect this island.
All I know is, there ain't no way
I'm letting you anywhere
near that lab, man.
Not one chance in hell.
If you think five grand
is going to move the needle on me,
you're dead wrong.
This lab made me more money
in one day than years of work.
Nah.
You're going to die right here.
Hey!
No-one can hear the gunshots.
When I put you in the
quicksand in Moccasin Wallow,
they aren't ever going to find you.
Oh, shit!
Agh!
You see that?!
Shit!
Agh!
Agh!
Get up! Get up!
Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Go! Come on!
Mr Mayor, you doing alright?
I've been better, Grady.
Well, we've all been better.
The trick is just
keeping a level head.
A level head.
Huh.
Make it a double.
Mr Mayor, I know we're under
lockdown and all that,
but you've had a whole
lot to drink. Maybe...
Maybe you ought to
take it easy a little bit?
I know what I can
and can't do, Grady.
Mr Mayor, I'm not saying -
Look, I...
I just sent two people
into the swamp.
They got killed.
Why did I do that?
I'm doing it because I'm trying to
keep this town alive and afloat.
Why can't anyone see that?
Mayor, we see it.
Bill...
We appreciate you, we do.
It just got...complicated.
Yeah.
I'm gonna make things
a lot less complicated.
Hey, gator!
Come and get your meth!
You think it's gone?
I don't know. Ain't heard
or seen anything in a while.
Maybe he's not hungry any more.
Bithlo, we both
worked that gator ranch.
When was the last time you
haven't seen a hungry alligator?
Fair point.
Exactly.
Come on, better get
back to the mainland.
Thought we were going to the lab.
Look at this little island,
all right? There's nothing on here.
It's probably back at
the mainland or something.
I have to agree
with you on that one.
I'm not swimming in that water.
To get to the mainland,
you understand?
There's no way.
Yeah.
All right. Well, listen,
boats usually wash up here
after hurricanes,
so maybe we can find one.
Well, let's look for something
to call for someone, all right?
There's got to be a radio somewhere.
Dante!
Come here, I found something!
Liam, copy, this is Bithlo.
Liam, do you copy?
Yes, I copy.
Hey, come and pick us up in the west
side of the island, all right?
We are the west side of
the island in the shallow bay.
Come and pick us up.
Already on my way.
All right, copy.
Come on, you freak!
We're here! We're over here!
Too afraid to show yourself?
Come here, you son of a bitch!
Mayor!
Sheriff!
Anna, grab the shotgun
in front seat.
Son of a bitch!
Did you see that?
You hurt him and made him mad.
Sheriff!
Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm good.
I think you shot him.
You scared him for sure.
Come on, let's go!
We have to go after him
while he's weak.
No, no. No, I hurt my leg
dodging that damn car.
I don't want you going alone.
Killed Mayor Jensen?
Yeah.
He's still moving around.
He must have locked on
to something else.
I hope for everybody's sake,
it's not the meth lab or...
Or Dante and Bithlo.
Should we warn them?
The best thing we can do is
go back, regroup, and arm up.
Let's go to Grady's.
OK.
Wait, I see something.
Stop the boat!
OK.
I can't believe this.
I can't believe -
Shh!
What is it? What is it?
We got to go.
Let's get back to Grady's.
We can't stop those people from
coming to the shore on those boats.
What we need to do is we can
fight to get off this island,
or we can fight
to stay on this island.
Look, I was thinking,
maybe we try to lure it
to the quicksand in Moccasin Wallow
that Tucker was taking us to.
Because we'd be dead.
Quicksand didn't trap
the gator last time.
Yeah, no, but Tucker
had to be going out there
for a reason, right?
You said there was
nothing suspicious
with your satellite photos.
Bithlo, the last 24 hours
we've seen nothing on this island.
The only place we haven't checked
thoroughly is Moccasin Wallow.
Didn't you say there was
waterways to get to there?
Yeah, that's right.
We've had a couple of bad storms.
That makes those areas passable.
Perfect. That's where
we'll lure the gator.
OK, OK.
I-I'll take the bar's bell,
and I'll ring it like hell.
And I've got some bags of meth
that we've captured
from some past raids.
We'll use it as bait.
That's perfect.
Alright. Pop, you're gonna
go will get the bait.
Bithlo, call Leon
to see if the boat's good.
OK. Let's gear up.
Come on. Let's do it.
Hey, uh, Grady,
you got anything back there
bigger that we can use?
Yeah, I got something bigger.
No! Wha-?!
I thought you said that RPG
wasn't real when we were younger.
Oh, I lied.
Let's kill this thing.
Listen to me, son.
Take care of my daughter.
Yes, sir.
With all this quicksand and mud
and tides going in and out, Dante,
I don't see how anyone
can build a meth lab out here.
You're right.
Even if it was camouflaged,
we'd already seen
a large structure by now.
Damn it.
Alright, look, this is
what we're gonna do, OK?
Bithlo, you're gonna do
the gator call.
Pops, shake that meth over the water
and lead the gator up in here. OK?
And once we get him in here,
we're gonna trap him and flank him.
Anna, you're gonna be on one side,
Bithlo, you're on the other.
Alright?
I never thought
I'd be using meth to do good.
Guys, watch the banks
around this river.
It's quicksand on that side
and solid ground on the other.
Oh.
What's that?
What are you talking about?
There shouldn't be any PVC
pipes out here, unless they're
attached to something.
There's more.
They're everywhere.
It looks like we're standing
right in the middle of it.
Guys, I think we just found
our super lab.
Could be fish and wildlife.
No. No, there shouldn't be
anything manmade out here.
Check it out.
Let's open the hatch.
Hold it, hold it. Get low.
Ready? One, two, go.
Oh, my God, we found it.
It's like a football stadium.
There's gotta be
other people down here.
Dad, you gotta call
for backup soon.
Woah!
This... This is incredible.
This is it!
Pops.
It's the meth lab you've been
looking for for years.
Yeah.
And this is enough meth
to turn that alligator
into the worst creature
we've ever seen.
You're right there, Williams.
This gator is gonna be out of
control if he gets a hold of this.
Bithlo, it looks like
it's the ventilation on the wall.
Switch it on for us.
Sure thing.
Man, this place...
it smell like cat piss.
The ventilation
in these pipes are amazing.
Whoa!
They asphyxiated.
My guess is, a storm came through
and the power got knocked out.
They put on the generator but...
the air wasn't circulating.
That's why the gator never went
straight for this place.
There was no smell out of the lab.
Dante...
if this place is underground,
then it's secure.
Let's just get the gator down here,
lock the door
and throw away the key.
No, because if we gave him
an unlimited supply of meth,
we don't know how
uncontrollable he'll be.
We need to take him out
and take him out quick.
We got it?
It's here.
Let's go.
Do you know how to fire that RPG?
I'm DEA, not military.
Hey, Pops.
You can take the shot, Dante.
A-Are you sure?
Yeah, I'm too old.
These two haven't had the training.
You know where the trigger
and the safety are.
We'll figure out the rest.
Just aim and fire, one shot.
Make it count, Dante.
Where is it?!
It's overwhelmed by the meth.
It's coming!There!Open fire!
Fire!
Die, you piece of shit!
Dante?
I think I see him.
There it is!
It's dead! But where's Dante?
Tell Grady we owe him.
Big time.
And we did it. It's over.
Just in time for the parade
and the fireworks.
Wow.
Look at you all cleaned up.
Mm-hmm.
You look good.
I'm proud of you, son.
You're a credit to the DEA.
Thanks, Pops.
I gotta give a thank you
to Grady though for the RPG.
Yes.
And Sweetwater Point
is back open for business.
I think I want to go back to
that lab and skin me some gator.
I want a trophy off that sucker.
What? I don't think
you can use that meat.
Don't you want to put it on the
barbecue and get everyone tweaking?
You're gonna miss the parade.
Well, man,
with everything that happened,
you know, it's just,
I want to be alone for a little bit.
I'll be back for the fireworks, OK?
Alright, don't be gone too long.
Alright, man.
Alright.
Let's go.
There you are, you bastard.
Wait the-?!
Sheriff.
Sheriff, do you copy?
Sheriff! Anybody there?
Do you copy?
The gator's gone.
He's not here!
He's shed.
He must be twice as big now.
He's gone!
I'm gonna come for you guys.
The gator's here.
We gotta warn people.
Run! Run!
Backup. We need backup.
Air Force, National Guard, anybody.
Run!
Almost there. Come on! Almost there.
No! Dad! No!
Dad, get in the car.
Get in the car now.
Dante!
That thing is taking everything.
Our houses, our business.
Where's Sheriff?
Dante? Dante, where's your dad?
Dante, get the hell out of there.
You think we lost it?
No, I don't think so.
Dante.
Dante, where's your dad?
Where's your dad?
Listen, no matter what,
we got to fight this thing.
Alright?
OK.
What about the fireworks?
The barge.
Yes!
Yes, a lot of explosiveness.
We can use- There's a lot of them.
The Mayor made sure
we have a lot of them.
Let's use that.
Yeah, you're right.
Leon, drop Anna off
and take me to the fireworks barge.
That's where I'll lure the gator.
How? How are you going to do that?
With bait.
Anna, you still got that shirt
I wore at the meth lab?
Yeah, yeah, it's at the bar
where you left it.
OK, good. I'll take that
and I'll shake it out over the water
and I'll lead the gator towards me.
And that's when Grady's
gonna blast off
the final firework, OK?
Well, hold on. What about you?
Where are you going to be
when it hits?
Don't worry about me, alright?
Just get me there.
I'll take all the remaining meth
so the gator will be drawn to me...
and no one else.
Here.
Are you good?
I'm good.
Because you're not good to us dead.
Yeah, and that gator
ain't good to us alive.
We end this now.
Alright.
Let's go.
Hey, Grady, come in.
Yeah, go for Grady.
Son, we're prepping
the fireworks cannon.
Filling it with everything we got.
Once we fire this,
you've got to jump out of the way.
It's going to activate
dozens and dozens
of massive fireworks near you.
Alright. Listen, when I see him,
I'll give you the signal, alright?
Yeah, copy that.
I know he's close.
I can smell it.
It's right nearby.
Come on.
I hear him. He's near you guys.
Why is he coming for us?
Baby, he's not coming for us.
We're just in the way.
Oh, shit! Move!
Shit!
Baby?
Dante, it's in the water.
It's coming for you.
I'll let you know when.
Come on. Come on!
Come on!
You OK?
Yeah. Are you?
Oh, shit. Shit.
No.
The cannon.
What? Hold on.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Come on! Come on! Come on!
We got to lift this up
so we can fire it.
OK, OK.
Alright.Is it good?It's good.
We'll put this on your shoulder
and you're going to blow
that alligator.Are you sure?!
Stand up for me.
Come get me!
Come to me! Come to me!
Alright. Hold steady. Hold steady.
I can't.
Hold steady. Yes, baby.
You can. You can.
It's too heavy!
It's not heavy, baby.
You can do this.
Baby, I got you.
We gotta fire. We gotta fire.
I'm here with you.
Hold on. Hold on.
Listen to me.
When this thing kicks,
you've got to hold on
with everything you've got.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
You understand me?
Yes.
Baby?
Yes.
You got this.
I love you.
Now, Dante.
We did it.
We killed the gator!
We did it!We did it!
We did it! We did it! Whoo!
We did it!
We got you!
Take that!
Whoo! Whoa!
Dante?
Dante?
Come in, Dante.
Dante?
Oh, no.
He's alive.
Follow me, we're gonna get him.
There he is!
I got him.
Grady, give me a hand.
Give me a hand!
Come on. Help me.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Grab him. Grab him.
Come on. Come on.
Dante! Dante!
Let her work on him.

Come on.
Take it off.
Dante! Wake up! Come on, man!
Dante!
Come on, Dante.
Dante!
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, buddy, come on!
Dante!
Come on, Dante.
Ah! Yes.
Ha!
Toast for your Pops.
Saved us all.
To the bravest guy I know.
Now we know where you get it.
To Sheriff Williams.
Sheriff Williams.
And to all those...
who gave their lives saving ours.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss you.
Well, I don't know.
I gotta stay for a little bit.
Gotta get Pop's affairs in order,
and I get to work with
Stillwater's newest officer.
This means you're coming out
of retirement, right, Officer Fort?
Someone's gotta
get those gators, don't they?
That's funny.
Look what I found. Hmm?
