Sharks In Prague (2025) Movie Script
(uneasy expectant music)
(metal clanking)
(uneasy expectant music continues)
(shark chomping)
(sirens wailing) (soft uneasy music)
(car rumbling)
(phone buzzing)
Hey babe.
W-W-What? What do you mean?
Can we just talk about it when I come home?
I can't leave my work right now.
I'm gonna be home in the morning.
Babe, can you just calm down?
(tense uneasy music) Hey.
(lively tense music) (feet stomping)
Freeze, police. Don't
make me run. (Panting)
Dispatch, dispatch, this is Kowalski.
I'm down in the Karl Oblast, I need backup.
- Sending more units now.
- Don't worry, I'm on it.
Why do they always run?
(motor rumbling)
(gun clacking)
- I owe you a beer.
- Beer sounds good.
Yeah, beer sounds good.
You didn't have to leave, Lucy.
We could've just talked about it.
How many times have you
said this, John? How many?
This time I'll make
it right, I'll do better.
You always say this, you keep promising
that things will get better,
but it never changes.
It always the same.
I can't just leave my job.
That's the problem John,
you always choose your job.
You chose it over me,
you chose it over everything
that made us happy.
You even forget about my mother's birthday.
I begged you to stay with
me while I made it here,
to get there with me, but instead you just
kept chasing for some
criminal, weren't you?
That wasn't a criminal.
That, that was a car by the river in,
there is something off about this, Lucy.
I'm telling you.
You were chasing the shadows, John.
Yeah, I'm proud of the work you do,
but it isn't just about work.
You didn't forget about a
birthday, you chose to forget.
You chose your job over me.
You've been doing it for so long,
that I don't even know if you remember
how to be present with
people who do care about you.
Are you done? You have everything?
(soft poignant music) (bags rustling)
I've gone already, John.
Maybe one day you'll get it.
(water sloshing)
(water splashing) (shark roaring)
(siren blaring)
[Dispatch] Officers are on scene.
Three Alpha 2-3-700, I copy.
- Car 36 responding.
- What's your emergency?
Kowalski, you've been planted at a desk
for over 12 hours today, time to go home.
Thank you sir, I just gotta dot the I's
on this burglar thing,
and it shouldn't take
me more than one hour.
It's nonsense, you look exhausted.
Look at you, when's the
last time you took a day off?
You know me.
Really, I'm fine
finishing this last report.
That wasn't a suggestion, okay?
That was an order, all right?
We can't have you burnt
out. Go take a breather.
But sir, I
Prague's gonna last a
day without you, Kowalski.
Fine, I give you this round.
All right good, that's the spirit.
Leave the file on the desk.
I'll get that bright-eyed
rookie Pavla to take care of it.
He needs the experience.
All right, go home.
(traffic rumbling)
Oh hello, sorry to interrupt,
I just need to confirm
the parameters, please,
after your transplant.
No interruption at all. Come on in.
We're just about to get
ready for today's field studies.
Have you been here all night again?
- Yeah.
- Again?
Again? I haven't been here that much.
Dr. Novak, the two squared piranhas
is basically your roommate at this point.
Well you know me, once
I get started on a project.
Just, I couldn't help but notice
you're spending more and
more time here alone lately,
even after everyone else has gone home.
Is everything okay?
Yes, everything's fine.
I just find it easy to
concentrate when it's night.
Wow, try not to work too hard.
Your dad always said this place can wait,
but your well being should come first.
He was right, as usual.
I don't know where I'd be today
if he hadn't given me a
chance all those years ago.
He saw potential in you, we all do.
And I know he would
want to take care of yourself
first and foremost.
Just feels like a
responsibility he passed on.
He loved those sharks.
But these beings also
need their space, no?
(soft uneasy music)
(water sloshing) (tense flourish music)
(soft uneasy music)
(gunfire blasting) (shooter shouting)
(gunfire blasting) (tires squealing)
(soft expectant music) (gunshot blasting)
[Dispatch] All units,
multiple injuries reported
at the Vitava River bank,
I am sending the location.
Well, good freaking morning.
(uneasy expectant music) (water sloshing)
Oh, dear God.
(uneasy expectant music continues)
- It was just so fast.
- Another crazy day, okay.
Found something, it
looks like an animal attack.
- I know.
- It, it wasn't an animal.
I saw it out of the water,
and it grabbed that man.
- What was it?
- Shark.
It was a shark attack.
- Shark, in Prague?
- I swear.
(tense uneasy music)
- It's gonna be fine.
- You should see something.
- Stay here.
(tense uneasy music continues)
So, what are we dealing with here?
I don't know, but I have a
feeling it's not the last one.
I can't believe, I'll just say it,
but we need a expert on it.
I know a marine
biologist, her name is Lisa.
She can confirm if the wound pattern
matches a shark attack.
Contact her, we need to cover it here
- as soon as possible.
- All right, sir.
Good fucking morning. (Soft uneasy music)
(machine beeping) (metal clanking)
(phone buzzing)
Dr. Novak.
- Hey Doc, this is John.
- John?
- Police.
- Oh, Officer John.
Um, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- What is it?
- Oh well,
we got a pretty bizarre
situation down here,
and I think we need your expertise.
I see, well I do
appreciate law enforcement
consulting legitimate science now and then.
How can I help?
[John] Well, there's been an incident,
some kind of a wild animal
attack along the riverbank.
- Mm-hmm.
- The victim injuries
and eyewitnesses, well
frankly, it was a shark attack.
(chuckling) I'm sorry,
did you say shark attack?
Here in Prague, away from the sea?
I know it seems crazy, and the forensics,
they cannot identify the animal yet,
and eyewitnesses are,
well sure, like something big
took a damn big bite.
Fascinating, a shark this far inland
is alarming behavioral anomaly,
and really, really bad news.
Text me the location, Officer.
Aye, thank you Doc.
(traffic rumbling) (sirens wailing)
(footsteps crunching)
What a night.
Lisa Novak, marine biologist.
Pleasure, Doc.
Thanks for coming Lisa, good to see you.
Let's have a look at
that killer shark of yours,
- shall we?
- Sure.
Organic residue.
These are shark teeth, no doubt.
- A bull shark most likely.
- Bullshit.
I study predatory fish, and these wounds
definitely were made by shark teeth.
Is there any other animal that, you know
Looks like a shark and bites like a shark
- and has shark teeth?
- Yeah.
- I'm afraid not, Officer.
- So what's the plan?
Take some samples and
bring them in to my laboratory.
I'll try and analyze them, and figure out
what species of shark it is.
All right, I'll let you
do your work, Doc.
Hey, are you sure about her?
I mean, I think that you
would know someone,
you know, bigger.
If anyone should help us, it's her.
Fish is her life.
Aye, I heard it before.
Fine, our team is coming together.
(tense uneasy music) (water sloshing)
(tense uneasy music continues)
I got another above Mikulovka.
My God, what's happening?
(tense uneasy music)
I've confirmed that the
cafe attack was a bull shark,
but genetically something's off.
You might be dealing
with God almighty here.
Whatever that thing is at the cafe,
there are more being seen in the river,
and all through the
tunnels underneath the city.
This is bad.
This is unseen.
People are in danger.
If they surface into crowded event areas,
it'll be a massacre.
We need patrols searching everywhere.
On it.
(tense uneasy music) (computer beeping)
God, I can't believe we're seeing this.
Oh no, I got another one,
near public square by Old Town.
[Lisa] We need to keep people away
from any kind of water body.
How did it get to the public square?
- Underground water pipes?
- Unlikely.
- Someone put them there?
- Again, how?
I don't know, Officer.
No, we're dead helpless.
(computer beeping)
No we're not, I'm going to the park.
- I'm coming with.
- No, it's too dangerous.
Please, I need to see
it with my own two eyes.
It's important. (Computer beeping)
Okay, but keep the distance.
- Yes.
- Always.
Yes. (Uneasy dramatic music)
(siren wailing)
John, John, the shark is gone.
Hold on Lisa, let me find out.
(tense dramatic music continues)
Yeah dispatch, what's
the status on the shark?
(uneasy expectant music) Thank you, bye.
- They've taken it.
- What?
Government facility, classified.
No, this is wrong John,
the shark isn't some monster.
It's a survivor, it's been
put into an environment
that it doesn't even belong.
It's been striving to survive.
I'll call my boss, all
right? Maybe there is a way.
Maybe doesn't do it.
I need to get to it, I can help it.
And what do you expect me to do,
break into a secure facility?
No, I expect you to care as much
about saving a life as I do.
I'll get those samples to you.
Not tonight, I cannot
transport just like that.
What do you expect me to do till then?
I don't know, get some
rest. Get some help.
With all due respect Captain,
this thing is way beyond
anything local authorities have ever seen.
We need some expertise
from someone like Dr. Novak.
- Request denied.
- Why?
Now that we've captured the beast,
the orders from the top are to transfer it
directly to Biochem, okay?
That's a classified government
research institute, so.
After a freaking shark
literally drops in our laps,
you're handing control
over to some shadowy outfit.
Shadowy outfit, really?
Let me just take some
samples to Lisa's lab, for analysis.
(sighing) Don't be naive, John.
This is a matter of
national security now, okay?
Any case related to the mutated shark
goes directly to the army.
The police services, we're
just here at their behest
during emergency situations.
These are the parameters
we're working in, okay?
So you gotta get used
to it. (Soft uneasy music)
Well as of now, I'm
no longer a police officer
constrained by bureaucratic
parameters, I quit.
You're being childish.
This is not childish,
okay? I have to do it.
I can't just sit back and
relax, like everyone else.
John, John, okay. I
understand your passion, all right?
- But we all have superiors.
- I don't care.
All right, all right.
I'll authorize the
release of tissue samples
to Dr. Novak, but that's all I'm gonna do.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, okay.
Well you be safe out there, okay?
We're both acting in
the interests of the city.
Yeah, I hope so.
What, they're simply
confiscating the shark's cadaver,
and handing it over to
some secret military outfit?
Those short-sighted imbeciles. (Scoffing)
This unprecedented mutation means long term
environmental impact, what
possible jurisdictional game
are these morons playing at?
After everything we,
but denying full biological
access is simply irresponsible.
Very well, well I appreciate
you even secured permission
to access the tissue samples.
As a matter of fact, please
dispatch those materials
to my laboratory straight away.
I know somebody whose insights
into inexplicable marine phenomenon
could prove quite useful, my
colleague from doctor old days,
Dr. Robert Krafts.
I never thought I'd need
that tyrant's help again,
but desperate times. (Sighing)
- Doctor.
- Unless you tell me
the culture can cure cancer,
I'm a little bit busy here, Klara.
Well it's not cancer,
but I think you'll want to hear this.
Okay, you've got my
attention now, what is it?
You've got a call,
someone named Lisa Novak.
She said she's a colleague
from the university.
- Lisa, Charles University?
- Ah, that's the one.
She sounded urgent, said something
about needing you in Prague immediately.
Prague? What Lisa wants from me?
Ah, she mentioned something
about a biologic anomaly.
- Biological anomaly.
- That's all she said,
before insisting you're
on the first flight out.
She doesn't seems, panic easily.
Where exactly is Prague?
Prague is in the Czech
Republic, it's in Central Europe.
It's beautiful city,
Gothic architecture and,
it's a lot of history.
And why is she calling
you out of the blue?
That's the question.
So suit up, and save
Prague from what exactly?
Mutated octopus?
Klara, you have a wild imagination.
Is it going to be dangerous?
[Robert] I don't know, let's find out.
(tense uneasy music)
(water sloshing)
(wader screaming) (tense dramatic music)
(traffic whooshing)
(soft mysterious music)
- Well, well, well.
(chuckling) My number
one phenomenal prodigy.
What do I owe you for this moment, huh?
After two years, six months,
and then about 14 days,
not that I'm counting.
It's good to see you too, Dr. Robert.
I wish this was a friendly meeting,
but I need to pick your
brain, confidentially.
Interesting, eventually I know one day
you were crawling back to
me, for a pick of my brain.
After all, I'm Professor Krafts.
(soft mysterious music continues)
In the past 48 hours,
there's a been a series
of bizarre shark attacks all over Prague.
Shark, in Prague?
Hundred miles inland from
the nearest sea, impossible.
That was my reaction too.
It must've been from really large sharks.
Hmm, I assume this
wasn't that star refugee
flopping about.
You must have considered
migratory patterns,
ancient waterways.
I've eliminated all logical explanations.
It's as though they're
appearing out of nowhere,
and then just vanishing.
They're ravishing citizens all over Prague,
in the streets, near the canals.
Extraordinary is, is the
authorities know the sources?
- None so far.
- No dumb illegal site
- for illegal pets?
- None that I know of.
Information's being totally controlled.
But the attacks keeps escalating,
hence why I've come
to you, for your expertise.
I guess my knowledge has come short.
Well, it sounds like you
have animal shark situation
developing beyond
boundaries natural science.
But, for the sake of Prague,
you come to the right person.
That's me. (Water sloshing)
(bell clanging) (siren blaring)
(computer chirping)
Huh, neutrophil constant soaring,
all microphages are mapping on the chart.
It's a metabolic hotspot in there.
- Look at that.
- Hmm.
That gang does not
plan on putting it feets up
like it owned the place.
Someone clearly failed
to RSVP those freeloaders.
Could these specific CRISPR edits
have therapeutic origins?
- Therapeutic, please.
This slicing and dicing
screams weapon grade meddling.
Lung capacity amplified,
it says military thread, boy,
written all over it, but it's clever, girl.
Clever? This could kill thousands.
Lisa, Lisa, I didn't say it's an ethical,
I say it's clever.
You haven't changed, huh? You never listen.
Who's in charge?
Officer John, I'll call him in.
Please.
(soft uneasy music) (water sloshing)
(tense uneasy music)
(officer retching)
(tense uneasy music continues)
(shark roaring)
What the hell are we dealing with here?
A bull shark is the original species,
but as you can see,
targeted genetic editing
has introduced extra-normal adaptions.
These boosted lung and gill
functions, long air breathing.
These sharks are engineered survivors.
Not be wonders of
nature, but still elegant, huh?
- He's a genius.
- He'd better be.
Elegant, you say Doc?
These modifications have
turned peaceful animals
into unstoppable killing machines.
Well, playing God by
playing genetic Jenga
requires special capital,
and and state-funded system
move glacially, so off
book operating budget.
Access to marine life cetacean
unavailable commercially.
Hmm, an advanced bio tech can rip
the mother's nature's blueprint to shred.
Wait, in my sunnier day, frolicking through
my academy's group of
ivy, I know one brilliant guy
who obsessed with
hybridization impressness.
Sorry, what language is that?
This is the guy.
Looks friendly enough.
Well Reef is a cheerful person.
In his field he was a pioneer,
but he made a lot of enemy.
Last I knew, he resigned
from the university
because of some cloud of controversy.
Isolation often leads
minds to follow radical paths,
without sober guidance.
Well, the darling has the skills,
but the question is, does
he have the resources
to ruin the kingdom's nature so flossy?
- Let's find out.
- Hey, hey stop.
I'm leading this thing.
(soft uneasy music)
Huh, what a friendly place.
Oh Reef, mighty has fallen down.
- Mighty is ruining the city.
- Mighty's hurting.
Mighty needs to be caught soon.
- Mighty is going down.
- Yeah.
Where's the backup?
- There is no backup.
- What do you mean?
I'm not exactly in the police now.
- What?
- I quit.
- Why?
- 'Cause I'm useless there.
You know, being stationed
so away, follow orders?
None of this would be happening.
Oh John, what have you done?
I'm fine, it's better like that.
So, now we are on the
same page. Shall we proceed?
(soft uneasy music)
- What the hell?
- Interesting.
Not a trace of evidence left.
Looks like your buddy was tipped off
- before skipping town.
- Impossible.
Reef might be renegade,
but he never destroy
his beautiful creatures,
oh Christ, no, it's not him.
- So someone else.
- Hm, my point is,
it wasn't Reef.
- Or the ones funding him?
- Possibly.
Guys, I think you want to see this.
What's that?
I think it's a business card.
It all makes sense now.
Sewage and Water Animals,
why would an ex marine biologist
deal with those folks?
Here, Dr. Reef did have a penchant
in lime-lurking space sense underground.
- So?
- Well, what better place
to deal with illicit experiments?
An abandoned utility tunnel,
that's where I'd set up shop.
But still, isn't it too
random, that of all things,
they leave a business card here?
To think of it, it does reek a bit, huh?
- Your call, Officer.
- No officer any more.
You'll always be an officer.
- Right, we go.
- That's the spirit.
Hey, what's happening to you?
Just can't stop thinking
about those poor creatures.
Here we go again.
You're a biologist as well.
Don't you care the least bit
about the welfare of those poor sharks?
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, dear Lisa, no.
My work is studying with
them, not weeping with them.
You're an animal.
Last I checked, human are social animal.
- Heartless.
- On contrary
Shut up you two, all right?
We have bigger concerns.
Shall we go?
I will alert the police,
it's gonna be dangerous.
Absolutely, you're correct.
No... It's happening, Officer.
- What did you bring?
- He's a genius.
[John] Yeah, and I'm gonna kill him.
Be my guest.
(metal clanking) (soft uneasy music)
If anything goes wrong, it's on you.
Everything's on schedule, Officer.
Let the force taking care
of the pedestrian up there,
we handle Reef.
Okay, stay silent,
let's do it. Follow me.
Whatever float your boats.
(tense uneasy music)
I've got a bad feeling about this place.
Well, all bad decisions start with that.
Someone's been here recently.
(tense uneasy music continues)
God, he's got shark eyes
on cities across the globe.
[Lisa] This is madness.
It's hard to control the world.
Lisa, the device please.
- What you doing?
- Research.
[Lisa] What does it say,
more engineered sequences?
Hmm, far advanced
work than I anticipated.
Our prodigal sons has
exceeded, even for my ambition.
- That explains it.
- This is a ground zero.
(tense uneasy music)
Where is he?
Guys, I need you to see this.
This is a terrorism plot.
My God, he's playing revenge on society
for his outcast career?
You were right Lisa, this is not Reef,
- this is beyond him.
- What do you mean?
Well, he probably led this organization,
but it's beyond him,
he's not a military leader,
or someone who can control the shadow cell.
[Lisa] People need to see this.
We need to report this,
immediately. This is too much.
If we can get the formula
for the serum he's using,
we can neutralize the threat.
You think the formula is here?
- We have to look.
- And now, we must,
(shark roaring) yes, it wasn't so nice.
- We got company.
- It's not company.
Run. (Shark roaring)
Oh my God, a fully mature bull shark.
(shark roaring)
I don't think he's big
enough to swallow us all.
- Stay behind.
- Oh my God.
Run. (Shark roaring)
[Lisa] John.
You are, two are more important that me.
But John... Go.
(shark roaring) (metal clanking)
(John gasping) (tense uneasy music)
(shark roaring)
Rob, we have to help John.
He is an officer, he has
been trained for this event,
and we are not.
No one's been trained
for this kind of stuff.
We don't have the formula,
but we can get the serum from the shark.
We have the shark.
The government has the shark.
We only have a few
tissues, this could be big.
Lisa, listen to me, Lisa.
I don't care.
(shark roaring) (John shouting)
We gotta get the serum,
no matter what the cost is.
(John groaning)
Come on, it's almost there. (Shouting)
(gunfire blasting) (shark roaring)
(uneasy thoughtful music)
- It's gone.
- Did you get the serum?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Is the motherfucker alive?
He'll be fine, a whole lotta stitches,
but he'll be fine.
(tense uneasy music)
(villain speaking in foreign language)
(tense uneasy music continues)
(birds chattering)
(tense dramatic music)
(tense dramatic music continues)
(guard groaning)
(tense dramatic music continues)
(villain speaking in foreign language)
(tense uneasy music)
(radio dispatch speaking
in foreign language)
(guard gasping) (belt clanking)
Contact. (Gunfire blasting)
(invaders speaking in foreign language)
(phone buzzing)
(villain speaking in foreign language)
(gunfire blasting)
(rescuer speaking in foreign language)
(combatants speaking in foreign language)
(gunfire blasting) (tense uneasy music)
(rescuer speaking in foreign language)

(soft tense music) (gunfire blasting)
(engine rumbling)
(liquid splashing)
You brilliantly saved the
re-formulary magnum opus.
Now we put the cell membrane here, okay.
And reconfigure the
protein synthesis there, wow.
It's broken, Rob.
Well, it proves it can be done,
but somehow (sighing) I
need, I need the full serum.
If we can get the formula
for the full serum supply,
we can reverse the mutation, saving Prague.
But first we have to pinpoint,
where is the Reef new lab?
Did you get the extract
from the hideout tunnel?
I did, but there are no clear indications
of another facility.
- Yeah, what's happening?
- Are you okay?
Yeah. Oh, what's happening,
did we find something?
We got the serum, but
we need the full supply.
- What is he doing?
- Calculating.
- What?
- He didn't say.
Any news from the outside?
The attacks have been
low, but they're still there.
(John groaning)
Huh. Lisa, John.
I've cracked the iconic
compound residency spectrum.
- What?
- You see?
My trace indicated concentrates in line
with these water purity measures.
I told you he was a genius.
How sure are we?
Are you joking?
All right, we'll wait till John's better,
and then let's go.
So we got the team back.
Yeah, thankfully in one piece.
(soft thoughtful music)
John, is it true about the sharks?
It's worse than we thought.
This is insane.
If I don't stop them,
more people will die.
You will stop them, of
course you do, you always do.
That's the thing you are
good at, saving people, saving
Us? (Soft thoughtful music)
I know I messed up.
I know I can't change the past but,
there is not always
everyone who can be saved.
What are you talking about?
There was a woman,
Maria. I tried to save her.
(tense uneasy music)
(gunshot blasting) (Maria sobbing)
(horn honking) (Maria sobbing)
(Maria gasping)
She shot me, and I've been
carrying that weight ever since.
(soft thoughtful music)
John, why didn't you tell me about this?
You can't keep holding onto the past,
especially when people need you now.
I keep seeing her face,
every time I try to focus on this case,
when I close my eyes.
You need to focus on
what's important now,
for me, and for all other people.
Do you think after
this, if there is peace,
we can, I need to know.
(soft poignant music)
(water sloshing)
(tense uneasy music) (swimmer gasping)
(shark chomping) (water splashing)
(footsteps crunching)
All right, so this is Professor
Crazy's not so secret lab.
[Robert] It seems like he
has invested the grand money
into maximum security, not maximum style.
No kidding, my undergrad dorm room
was cozier than this depressing bunker.
Good thing my once-brilliant prodigy
has been reduced to conducting
the groundbreaking research
in such a thing, so
accommodates her indignity.
I would rather focus on the army
ready to pump us full of lead, Professor.
We're never slipping past those guards.
I'm thinking stealth is our
only option. Any ideas?
Guys, I can see rows
of holding tanks inside,
for species of nearly-extinct sharks.
Seems like Reef have
pulled the heist of the centuries.
All right, we're shutting
this freak show down
one way or another.
- Ready? Let's go.
- Let's do this.
(tense uneasy music) (metal clanking)
- John?
- What's that?
I don't know, just read it.
(soft uneasy music)
This is it, bingo.
We need to analyze the
tissue cultures and protein gels
before our window
closes. (Machines chirping)
It confirms. You see?
These are DNA traces
from globally protected marine species.
(metal clanking)
- Is it done?
- Yes.
Then we need to leave before something
(alarm blaring) What's the plan now?
Nothing, we just have to fight.
- That's it?
- Kind of.
[Lisa] Damn, it
recognized our trap sensor.
Let's get the antidote.
(tense expectant music)
This place is built like a
damn maze. How much farther?
The boat's in the basement,
I think the lab is nearby.
[John] Come on, come
on, come on, come on.
What do we do, what do we
do now, what do we do no? John.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
[Sentry] They are taking
the elevator, get them.
(alarm blaring)
Oh, shit.
We have to be fast, let's go.
(chuckling) Wow, this must be the heart
of the whole operation, huh?
Oh John, we've got company.
- We're trapped.
I just need more time.
No can do, brace yourself.
John. (Uneasy expectant music)
[Guard] Stay where you are,
hands where I can see them.
Any bright ideas? I'm fresh out.
I can only see the darkness.
- I need more time.
- On you're knees,
by order of the Black Octopus.
This laboratory is under our authorization.
- Black Octopus?
- You know them?
No, I just don't like it.
We're just here to see Dr. Reef.
[Guard] Dr. Reef is okay with this?
We can be of great service.
I'm Dr. Lisa Novak, an
expert within his field.
This is my colleague,
Dr. Kraft. We can help you.
[Guard] And the other one?
I'm just a lab assistant.
I only work with a very close group.
Only trusted ones, like Dr. Reef.
[Guard] And you
are full of shit, like him.
(sighing) Well tried Lisa, well tried.
That was worth a shot.
No, no, no. Okay, okay, okay.
(metal clanking) (liquid dripping)
We need to expose this
operation to world authorities.
Illegal genetic mutations,
crimes against nature.
Agreed, but we're not good
rotting in this goddam cell.
We need to access
their central genetics files.
I mean, if we can access and
transmit those mutating shark
genetic sequences, we can blow the door
on the whole goddam enterprise.
Wow, excellent idea Commander Kirk.
Except, we don't even know how to get out
from this rat cloister, infiltrate Reef's
gene-splicing temple.
We have to try Rob, who
knows what evolutionary
abominations they're gonna cook up next.
Telepathic dolphins
perhaps, mutated sea lions.
I didn't dedicate my career
to marine conservation
just to watch crazed
militants weaponize ocean life.
Okay, okay, okay, okay,
conceded, my skeptical ass.
I'm on board.
See, that's the spirit, Professor.
We're getting out of this
goddam lab one way or another.
(footsteps clattering)
- Who are you?
Someone sent ahead to do his dirty work?
Please, I'm Dr. Katrina Hammerschmidt.
I'm here to help you escape, before
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
How do we know we can trust you?
How do we know it's not a trap,
and you're just trying
to destroy the intel?
I know it seems suspicious.
I have been forced to assist
Dr. Reef's dangerous work here,
but I can stand by no longer
while they mutate sharks.
Guys, she could be a
plant, but probably, you know,
Reef's team is not as united as we thought.
I was the one who left
clues for you to follow.
Clues? What kind of clues?
The business card, charts in the tunnel.
That's how you got here, right?
How did you do this?
Well, if they find out, I'm dead.
(liquid dripping)
We're not gonna get anywhere
while we're stuck in this cell, guys.
I say we risk it.
We're running out of options.
You clearly have access
around the building, Doctor.
Could you show us the
way to the genetics lab?
Yes, I mean the tunnel leads right to it.
I can guide you safely past security.
(gate clanking) Walk quickly.
(metal clanking)
Dr. Hammerschmidt,
how on earth did you end up
getting involved with these
fanatics in the first place?
Well, I was recruited
by Dr. Reefs two year ago,
when he required geneticists
for advancing human lifespan.
It was already too late
when I found out the truth
about his motives, plans with the sharks.
You're still working alongside Dr. Reef.
Well I lacked courage at first,
but when I finally objected,
it was already too late.
But still, I couldn't just
sit and watch, it's the truth.
I know that, I knew that
someone would come for a week.
This way.
You're making things right now, Doctor.
Whatever Reef holds
over you, when we're done,
you'll have a fresh start.
(soft thoughtful music)
(footsteps clattering)
This is my old genetics lab.
We can access the entire
databases from this terminal.
Guys.
The antidote, Reef must be developing it
as a countermeasure to suppress mutations.
I'm afraid that his ambition exceeded
even my scientific imagination.
But yes, Doctor Reef's
refusing to create poison
without having an antidote on hand.
You did your best, under
your difficult circumstances.
All that matters now, we have to stop Reef.
Yeah, that's true.
Remember, we need
to move fast, all right?
Security can be here any minute.
[Katrina] That's true, here.
Thank you, I hope I don't gotta use it.
Well, better safe than sorry.
This is enough to neutralize
every shark in the cell.
Do you know how to
synthesize it in dispersal form?
I'm afraid you have to
figure it out yourself, Doc.
All right, let's get
outta this nightmare.
Hey, I was just getting
started, all the trouble here.
(tense dramatic music) (alarm blaring)
- They're coming.
- So where do we go now?
There is another way out, go down.
Oh gentlemen, thanks God you're here.
Please, arrest them all
and get them to my chamber.
Run! (Gunfire blasting)
- Katrina!
- No, go.
She's gone. (Tense uneasy music)
(gunfire blasting) (shark roaring)
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
(shark roaring) (gunfire blasting)
(vehicle whooshing)
Well, that was something.
Reef has to be stopped.
Who knows how many
more innocent lives are at risk
with those mutated sharks out there.
Yeah, you're right. But how?
Getting to him won't be easy.
He's got an army ready to protect him.
This army's not for him,
it's the formula and the specimens.
What do you mean?
They don't care about
Reef, Reef's work is done.
He doesn't mean anything to them.
Does Reef know that?
I know him, he is a not a
team player by any margin.
He doesn't like to be told what to do.
He's not gonna sit back
and wait for us to catch him.
Remember what Katrina
said? Reef's on the move.
Leaving his life's work behind?
If he's free and he's alive,
he can resume any work from anywhere.
We got the formula for the antidote.
We're gonna use that to save
the city from this nightmare.
That's a start.
Yeah, it's a matter of time.
(engine rumbling) (soft uneasy music)
(siren wailing) (computer clicking)
You sure this is gonna work?
We cannot afford any mistakes.
Of course I'm sure, just let me work.
She knows what she's doing, John.
After all, it's not every
day one gets to build
a marine mutation
reversing a dispersal system.
Right Lisa? Like you were
ever formally trained for this.
That's my Lisa. (Sighing)
- There, it's ready.
- Right, not bad.
But we're not out of this yet.
Katrina said Reef is
planning to pull out soon.
We have a small window to catch him.
Then I'm suggesting we
quit from sitting around here,
and start importing the ambush.
Anyone here is objects to capturing
my deranged former colleague?
- No objections here.
- None here.
All right listen up, Katrina
said Reef if planning to use
a particular back route outta the city,
towards the industrial city district.
If we could stop and
ambush him on the stretch
and block this road, we
can force him to pull over.
I assume you have more than just
flagging him down politely, Officer.
He's gonna answer for
what he's done to the city,
and to Katrina.
Then let's make sure
he doesn't get away with it.
Let's go then. (Tense uneasy music)
(car rumbling)
- Stop, freeze.
- Over.
[John] No, no, no, no, no, no.
[Reef] Stay back, or I will shoot her.
No, you're a fool.
[Reef] No you are a fool,
too fool to see my glamorous plan.
There's nothing
worse than killing people.
[Reef] Just because you don't get it,
doesn't make it wrong.
Greater good requires sacrifices.
Drop the gun, drop the gun.
Drop the gun or I will shoot her.
(John groaning) (tense uneasy music)
(gun clicking)
- Lisa.
He's crazy. (Passengers chattering)
[John] This is where it ends, Reef.
You've got nowhere to go, give up.
You will pay for what
you've done to this city,
and to Katrina.
[Reef] (chuckling)
Yeah, yeah, you will never
defeat me or my plan, ah.
(shark roaring) (water splashing)
(birds chattering)
Good night Reef,
sleep well with the fishes.
Ah, ah, fuck John, where's that maniac?
Well, he got killed by his own invention.
Don't point it at people.
It's finally over.
It's for now, but something
tells me it will be more.
Do you think there is more?
Moron like him,
probably about three billion
- on this earth.
- Come on, come on.
Well there's peace
now, let's just enjoy that.
[Robert] Now we have
to prepare the drone.
It's ready.
- Okay, let's go.
- Let's go.
(gentle thoughtful music)
Wow, a new day.
Hopefully an end to this shark crisis.
Well said, Professor.
I've been itching to say
that since I came to Prague.
- Really?
- Well, not really.
Since I was a little kid.
Right, I programmed the
drone to disperse the antidote
throughout the entire ecosystem,
and follow the river's currents.
If my calculations are right,
this serum should neutralize
the mutation of every shark within minutes.
(gentle thoughtful music) (drone buzzing)
[John] So, now we just wait and see if
[Robert] Look at that.
So, anyone in for fin soup?
Just because I'm Asian,
you think I eat those,
shark fin soup?
- Have a mercy, John.
- Come on, I'm paying.
Well if you pay, why not?
(gentle thoughtful music)
(captain sighing) (knuckles knocking)
John, what are you doing here?
I assumed after everything
that transpired, you were
Well, all the chaos made
me question orders, I admit,
but serving and protecting
people remains my calling.
Very good.
I mean, after seeing
all those shark crimes,
I woke up and saw that
there are greater evils there
than fighting bureaucratic tape.
Sure. Hmm well, I was too rigid.
Your intuition was correct
about the shark and the threats,
and your scientist colleague was right too.
- I know.
- Hmm. (Chuckling)
Well you know, perhaps I should listen
to my officers more often.
I continue to bleed blue Captain,
even if high powers obscured
the water for some time.
- Welcome back to the team.
- Thank you, Captain.
See you around.
[Assistant] Special delivery Doctor,
the live jellyfish samples you requested
for neurotoxin analysis.
Shall I set up the examination tanks?
Please allow me, and
thank you again for staying on.
Of course, couldn't pass up the chance
to keep learning from the best.
(soft thoughtful music) Doctor, all good?
Yes, yes, very good.
I can understand, did you lose someone?
- We all lost someone.
- Sure.
Well then, let's discover
some answers, shall we?
Let's dive in. (Gentle thoughtful music)
(Robert clearing throat)
- Welcome back Doctor.
I guess your trip to Prague was eventful.
Well, eventful doesn't
even begin to cover it, Klara.
- So what's the plan?
- Here, I want you to file it
under the shark incident Prague.
We need it for our research in the future,
and tomorrow I want all my schedule clear,
all of my schedule,
all call, I do not want it.
I earned it, one day,
minimally rest for me, okay?
After this nightmare.
A shark slayer taking a day off?
Damn, I have. Well do
not get comfortable, okay?
We have so much work ahead to do,
and the ocean is not
going to protect itself, okay?
Welcome back, Doctor.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
John, I'm sorry.
I've been avoiding you for so long,
I know it's been quite a
time, but I needed this.
- I didn't expect to see you.
- I know.
I didn't know what to say.
Outside everything that
happened with the sharks,
I just needed this time to figure out
what was going on with my life.
I couldn't picture my life,
and the future with you.
I was scared.
You were so busy with your
work, and I didn't know if,
if I could live with this
fear of losing you, John.
I was just doing everything
I could to save people.
I never wanted to make you feel that way,
but I didn't know how to make it work
between the two of us,
with all of this happening.
But, but now everything
is different, right?
You've got a new team, you moved on.
I finally realized that I don't want
to keep running from the past,
I don't want to run away from it.
I don't want to run away from you, John.
What, what, what do you mean?
I want to try again. I mean it.
I know it's not gonna be easy,
but we'll see if it can work out.
(gentle thoughtful music)
You know, when the,
when this whole thing started I,
I never thought that I would make it but,
well, here we are. (Bright hopeful music)
Well, but now when the sharks
are done terrorizing Prague,
I've been given a new responsibility,
not only to protect the city,
but I'm going over the whole world.
I don't think it's gonna be easy.
You wanna do it together, right?
Right. (Gentle hopeful music)
(plane engine roaring) (wheels scraping)
[Pilot] Ladies and
gentlemen, welcome to Prague.
Current time is half past 3:00.
(bright hopeful music) (birds cawing)
I can still hardly believe
that it's been two months
since we were in a full-blown
"Jaws" sequel situation here.
I don't know, I kinda like "Jaws."
The human mind never ceases to amaze.
Now let's strive not to put
Prague's collective psyche
to the test against bio-engineered
monsters ever again.
Indeed, I'd rather think that life itself
deserve some respite from the scientists
who are playing God, beyond its kind,
(phone chiming) well at least for now.
Should I grow bored in my
Emeritus years from now
Oh now, I wanted to take the respite,
but I've got reports of
unidentified sea creatures
attacking ships in the Pacific.
"East China Sea naval
bases are on high alert,
after detecting abnormal sonar pings."
Well, it appears that
genetically altered cephalopod
has begun venturing
beyond friendlier water.
- One more time?
- Why not, sure. Lisa?
Well, no time to waste then.
We need to alert maritime authorities,
and assemble a capture plan.
Yeah, the team is back. Let's go.
(tense dramatic music)
(metal clanking)
(uneasy expectant music continues)
(shark chomping)
(sirens wailing) (soft uneasy music)
(car rumbling)
(phone buzzing)
Hey babe.
W-W-What? What do you mean?
Can we just talk about it when I come home?
I can't leave my work right now.
I'm gonna be home in the morning.
Babe, can you just calm down?
(tense uneasy music) Hey.
(lively tense music) (feet stomping)
Freeze, police. Don't
make me run. (Panting)
Dispatch, dispatch, this is Kowalski.
I'm down in the Karl Oblast, I need backup.
- Sending more units now.
- Don't worry, I'm on it.
Why do they always run?
(motor rumbling)
(gun clacking)
- I owe you a beer.
- Beer sounds good.
Yeah, beer sounds good.
You didn't have to leave, Lucy.
We could've just talked about it.
How many times have you
said this, John? How many?
This time I'll make
it right, I'll do better.
You always say this, you keep promising
that things will get better,
but it never changes.
It always the same.
I can't just leave my job.
That's the problem John,
you always choose your job.
You chose it over me,
you chose it over everything
that made us happy.
You even forget about my mother's birthday.
I begged you to stay with
me while I made it here,
to get there with me, but instead you just
kept chasing for some
criminal, weren't you?
That wasn't a criminal.
That, that was a car by the river in,
there is something off about this, Lucy.
I'm telling you.
You were chasing the shadows, John.
Yeah, I'm proud of the work you do,
but it isn't just about work.
You didn't forget about a
birthday, you chose to forget.
You chose your job over me.
You've been doing it for so long,
that I don't even know if you remember
how to be present with
people who do care about you.
Are you done? You have everything?
(soft poignant music) (bags rustling)
I've gone already, John.
Maybe one day you'll get it.
(water sloshing)
(water splashing) (shark roaring)
(siren blaring)
[Dispatch] Officers are on scene.
Three Alpha 2-3-700, I copy.
- Car 36 responding.
- What's your emergency?
Kowalski, you've been planted at a desk
for over 12 hours today, time to go home.
Thank you sir, I just gotta dot the I's
on this burglar thing,
and it shouldn't take
me more than one hour.
It's nonsense, you look exhausted.
Look at you, when's the
last time you took a day off?
You know me.
Really, I'm fine
finishing this last report.
That wasn't a suggestion, okay?
That was an order, all right?
We can't have you burnt
out. Go take a breather.
But sir, I
Prague's gonna last a
day without you, Kowalski.
Fine, I give you this round.
All right good, that's the spirit.
Leave the file on the desk.
I'll get that bright-eyed
rookie Pavla to take care of it.
He needs the experience.
All right, go home.
(traffic rumbling)
Oh hello, sorry to interrupt,
I just need to confirm
the parameters, please,
after your transplant.
No interruption at all. Come on in.
We're just about to get
ready for today's field studies.
Have you been here all night again?
- Yeah.
- Again?
Again? I haven't been here that much.
Dr. Novak, the two squared piranhas
is basically your roommate at this point.
Well you know me, once
I get started on a project.
Just, I couldn't help but notice
you're spending more and
more time here alone lately,
even after everyone else has gone home.
Is everything okay?
Yes, everything's fine.
I just find it easy to
concentrate when it's night.
Wow, try not to work too hard.
Your dad always said this place can wait,
but your well being should come first.
He was right, as usual.
I don't know where I'd be today
if he hadn't given me a
chance all those years ago.
He saw potential in you, we all do.
And I know he would
want to take care of yourself
first and foremost.
Just feels like a
responsibility he passed on.
He loved those sharks.
But these beings also
need their space, no?
(soft uneasy music)
(water sloshing) (tense flourish music)
(soft uneasy music)
(gunfire blasting) (shooter shouting)
(gunfire blasting) (tires squealing)
(soft expectant music) (gunshot blasting)
[Dispatch] All units,
multiple injuries reported
at the Vitava River bank,
I am sending the location.
Well, good freaking morning.
(uneasy expectant music) (water sloshing)
Oh, dear God.
(uneasy expectant music continues)
- It was just so fast.
- Another crazy day, okay.
Found something, it
looks like an animal attack.
- I know.
- It, it wasn't an animal.
I saw it out of the water,
and it grabbed that man.
- What was it?
- Shark.
It was a shark attack.
- Shark, in Prague?
- I swear.
(tense uneasy music)
- It's gonna be fine.
- You should see something.
- Stay here.
(tense uneasy music continues)
So, what are we dealing with here?
I don't know, but I have a
feeling it's not the last one.
I can't believe, I'll just say it,
but we need a expert on it.
I know a marine
biologist, her name is Lisa.
She can confirm if the wound pattern
matches a shark attack.
Contact her, we need to cover it here
- as soon as possible.
- All right, sir.
Good fucking morning. (Soft uneasy music)
(machine beeping) (metal clanking)
(phone buzzing)
Dr. Novak.
- Hey Doc, this is John.
- John?
- Police.
- Oh, Officer John.
Um, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
- What is it?
- Oh well,
we got a pretty bizarre
situation down here,
and I think we need your expertise.
I see, well I do
appreciate law enforcement
consulting legitimate science now and then.
How can I help?
[John] Well, there's been an incident,
some kind of a wild animal
attack along the riverbank.
- Mm-hmm.
- The victim injuries
and eyewitnesses, well
frankly, it was a shark attack.
(chuckling) I'm sorry,
did you say shark attack?
Here in Prague, away from the sea?
I know it seems crazy, and the forensics,
they cannot identify the animal yet,
and eyewitnesses are,
well sure, like something big
took a damn big bite.
Fascinating, a shark this far inland
is alarming behavioral anomaly,
and really, really bad news.
Text me the location, Officer.
Aye, thank you Doc.
(traffic rumbling) (sirens wailing)
(footsteps crunching)
What a night.
Lisa Novak, marine biologist.
Pleasure, Doc.
Thanks for coming Lisa, good to see you.
Let's have a look at
that killer shark of yours,
- shall we?
- Sure.
Organic residue.
These are shark teeth, no doubt.
- A bull shark most likely.
- Bullshit.
I study predatory fish, and these wounds
definitely were made by shark teeth.
Is there any other animal that, you know
Looks like a shark and bites like a shark
- and has shark teeth?
- Yeah.
- I'm afraid not, Officer.
- So what's the plan?
Take some samples and
bring them in to my laboratory.
I'll try and analyze them, and figure out
what species of shark it is.
All right, I'll let you
do your work, Doc.
Hey, are you sure about her?
I mean, I think that you
would know someone,
you know, bigger.
If anyone should help us, it's her.
Fish is her life.
Aye, I heard it before.
Fine, our team is coming together.
(tense uneasy music) (water sloshing)
(tense uneasy music continues)
I got another above Mikulovka.
My God, what's happening?
(tense uneasy music)
I've confirmed that the
cafe attack was a bull shark,
but genetically something's off.
You might be dealing
with God almighty here.
Whatever that thing is at the cafe,
there are more being seen in the river,
and all through the
tunnels underneath the city.
This is bad.
This is unseen.
People are in danger.
If they surface into crowded event areas,
it'll be a massacre.
We need patrols searching everywhere.
On it.
(tense uneasy music) (computer beeping)
God, I can't believe we're seeing this.
Oh no, I got another one,
near public square by Old Town.
[Lisa] We need to keep people away
from any kind of water body.
How did it get to the public square?
- Underground water pipes?
- Unlikely.
- Someone put them there?
- Again, how?
I don't know, Officer.
No, we're dead helpless.
(computer beeping)
No we're not, I'm going to the park.
- I'm coming with.
- No, it's too dangerous.
Please, I need to see
it with my own two eyes.
It's important. (Computer beeping)
Okay, but keep the distance.
- Yes.
- Always.
Yes. (Uneasy dramatic music)
(siren wailing)
John, John, the shark is gone.
Hold on Lisa, let me find out.
(tense dramatic music continues)
Yeah dispatch, what's
the status on the shark?
(uneasy expectant music) Thank you, bye.
- They've taken it.
- What?
Government facility, classified.
No, this is wrong John,
the shark isn't some monster.
It's a survivor, it's been
put into an environment
that it doesn't even belong.
It's been striving to survive.
I'll call my boss, all
right? Maybe there is a way.
Maybe doesn't do it.
I need to get to it, I can help it.
And what do you expect me to do,
break into a secure facility?
No, I expect you to care as much
about saving a life as I do.
I'll get those samples to you.
Not tonight, I cannot
transport just like that.
What do you expect me to do till then?
I don't know, get some
rest. Get some help.
With all due respect Captain,
this thing is way beyond
anything local authorities have ever seen.
We need some expertise
from someone like Dr. Novak.
- Request denied.
- Why?
Now that we've captured the beast,
the orders from the top are to transfer it
directly to Biochem, okay?
That's a classified government
research institute, so.
After a freaking shark
literally drops in our laps,
you're handing control
over to some shadowy outfit.
Shadowy outfit, really?
Let me just take some
samples to Lisa's lab, for analysis.
(sighing) Don't be naive, John.
This is a matter of
national security now, okay?
Any case related to the mutated shark
goes directly to the army.
The police services, we're
just here at their behest
during emergency situations.
These are the parameters
we're working in, okay?
So you gotta get used
to it. (Soft uneasy music)
Well as of now, I'm
no longer a police officer
constrained by bureaucratic
parameters, I quit.
You're being childish.
This is not childish,
okay? I have to do it.
I can't just sit back and
relax, like everyone else.
John, John, okay. I
understand your passion, all right?
- But we all have superiors.
- I don't care.
All right, all right.
I'll authorize the
release of tissue samples
to Dr. Novak, but that's all I'm gonna do.
- Thanks.
- Yeah, okay.
Well you be safe out there, okay?
We're both acting in
the interests of the city.
Yeah, I hope so.
What, they're simply
confiscating the shark's cadaver,
and handing it over to
some secret military outfit?
Those short-sighted imbeciles. (Scoffing)
This unprecedented mutation means long term
environmental impact, what
possible jurisdictional game
are these morons playing at?
After everything we,
but denying full biological
access is simply irresponsible.
Very well, well I appreciate
you even secured permission
to access the tissue samples.
As a matter of fact, please
dispatch those materials
to my laboratory straight away.
I know somebody whose insights
into inexplicable marine phenomenon
could prove quite useful, my
colleague from doctor old days,
Dr. Robert Krafts.
I never thought I'd need
that tyrant's help again,
but desperate times. (Sighing)
- Doctor.
- Unless you tell me
the culture can cure cancer,
I'm a little bit busy here, Klara.
Well it's not cancer,
but I think you'll want to hear this.
Okay, you've got my
attention now, what is it?
You've got a call,
someone named Lisa Novak.
She said she's a colleague
from the university.
- Lisa, Charles University?
- Ah, that's the one.
She sounded urgent, said something
about needing you in Prague immediately.
Prague? What Lisa wants from me?
Ah, she mentioned something
about a biologic anomaly.
- Biological anomaly.
- That's all she said,
before insisting you're
on the first flight out.
She doesn't seems, panic easily.
Where exactly is Prague?
Prague is in the Czech
Republic, it's in Central Europe.
It's beautiful city,
Gothic architecture and,
it's a lot of history.
And why is she calling
you out of the blue?
That's the question.
So suit up, and save
Prague from what exactly?
Mutated octopus?
Klara, you have a wild imagination.
Is it going to be dangerous?
[Robert] I don't know, let's find out.
(tense uneasy music)
(water sloshing)
(wader screaming) (tense dramatic music)
(traffic whooshing)
(soft mysterious music)
- Well, well, well.
(chuckling) My number
one phenomenal prodigy.
What do I owe you for this moment, huh?
After two years, six months,
and then about 14 days,
not that I'm counting.
It's good to see you too, Dr. Robert.
I wish this was a friendly meeting,
but I need to pick your
brain, confidentially.
Interesting, eventually I know one day
you were crawling back to
me, for a pick of my brain.
After all, I'm Professor Krafts.
(soft mysterious music continues)
In the past 48 hours,
there's a been a series
of bizarre shark attacks all over Prague.
Shark, in Prague?
Hundred miles inland from
the nearest sea, impossible.
That was my reaction too.
It must've been from really large sharks.
Hmm, I assume this
wasn't that star refugee
flopping about.
You must have considered
migratory patterns,
ancient waterways.
I've eliminated all logical explanations.
It's as though they're
appearing out of nowhere,
and then just vanishing.
They're ravishing citizens all over Prague,
in the streets, near the canals.
Extraordinary is, is the
authorities know the sources?
- None so far.
- No dumb illegal site
- for illegal pets?
- None that I know of.
Information's being totally controlled.
But the attacks keeps escalating,
hence why I've come
to you, for your expertise.
I guess my knowledge has come short.
Well, it sounds like you
have animal shark situation
developing beyond
boundaries natural science.
But, for the sake of Prague,
you come to the right person.
That's me. (Water sloshing)
(bell clanging) (siren blaring)
(computer chirping)
Huh, neutrophil constant soaring,
all microphages are mapping on the chart.
It's a metabolic hotspot in there.
- Look at that.
- Hmm.
That gang does not
plan on putting it feets up
like it owned the place.
Someone clearly failed
to RSVP those freeloaders.
Could these specific CRISPR edits
have therapeutic origins?
- Therapeutic, please.
This slicing and dicing
screams weapon grade meddling.
Lung capacity amplified,
it says military thread, boy,
written all over it, but it's clever, girl.
Clever? This could kill thousands.
Lisa, Lisa, I didn't say it's an ethical,
I say it's clever.
You haven't changed, huh? You never listen.
Who's in charge?
Officer John, I'll call him in.
Please.
(soft uneasy music) (water sloshing)
(tense uneasy music)
(officer retching)
(tense uneasy music continues)
(shark roaring)
What the hell are we dealing with here?
A bull shark is the original species,
but as you can see,
targeted genetic editing
has introduced extra-normal adaptions.
These boosted lung and gill
functions, long air breathing.
These sharks are engineered survivors.
Not be wonders of
nature, but still elegant, huh?
- He's a genius.
- He'd better be.
Elegant, you say Doc?
These modifications have
turned peaceful animals
into unstoppable killing machines.
Well, playing God by
playing genetic Jenga
requires special capital,
and and state-funded system
move glacially, so off
book operating budget.
Access to marine life cetacean
unavailable commercially.
Hmm, an advanced bio tech can rip
the mother's nature's blueprint to shred.
Wait, in my sunnier day, frolicking through
my academy's group of
ivy, I know one brilliant guy
who obsessed with
hybridization impressness.
Sorry, what language is that?
This is the guy.
Looks friendly enough.
Well Reef is a cheerful person.
In his field he was a pioneer,
but he made a lot of enemy.
Last I knew, he resigned
from the university
because of some cloud of controversy.
Isolation often leads
minds to follow radical paths,
without sober guidance.
Well, the darling has the skills,
but the question is, does
he have the resources
to ruin the kingdom's nature so flossy?
- Let's find out.
- Hey, hey stop.
I'm leading this thing.
(soft uneasy music)
Huh, what a friendly place.
Oh Reef, mighty has fallen down.
- Mighty is ruining the city.
- Mighty's hurting.
Mighty needs to be caught soon.
- Mighty is going down.
- Yeah.
Where's the backup?
- There is no backup.
- What do you mean?
I'm not exactly in the police now.
- What?
- I quit.
- Why?
- 'Cause I'm useless there.
You know, being stationed
so away, follow orders?
None of this would be happening.
Oh John, what have you done?
I'm fine, it's better like that.
So, now we are on the
same page. Shall we proceed?
(soft uneasy music)
- What the hell?
- Interesting.
Not a trace of evidence left.
Looks like your buddy was tipped off
- before skipping town.
- Impossible.
Reef might be renegade,
but he never destroy
his beautiful creatures,
oh Christ, no, it's not him.
- So someone else.
- Hm, my point is,
it wasn't Reef.
- Or the ones funding him?
- Possibly.
Guys, I think you want to see this.
What's that?
I think it's a business card.
It all makes sense now.
Sewage and Water Animals,
why would an ex marine biologist
deal with those folks?
Here, Dr. Reef did have a penchant
in lime-lurking space sense underground.
- So?
- Well, what better place
to deal with illicit experiments?
An abandoned utility tunnel,
that's where I'd set up shop.
But still, isn't it too
random, that of all things,
they leave a business card here?
To think of it, it does reek a bit, huh?
- Your call, Officer.
- No officer any more.
You'll always be an officer.
- Right, we go.
- That's the spirit.
Hey, what's happening to you?
Just can't stop thinking
about those poor creatures.
Here we go again.
You're a biologist as well.
Don't you care the least bit
about the welfare of those poor sharks?
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, dear Lisa, no.
My work is studying with
them, not weeping with them.
You're an animal.
Last I checked, human are social animal.
- Heartless.
- On contrary
Shut up you two, all right?
We have bigger concerns.
Shall we go?
I will alert the police,
it's gonna be dangerous.
Absolutely, you're correct.
No... It's happening, Officer.
- What did you bring?
- He's a genius.
[John] Yeah, and I'm gonna kill him.
Be my guest.
(metal clanking) (soft uneasy music)
If anything goes wrong, it's on you.
Everything's on schedule, Officer.
Let the force taking care
of the pedestrian up there,
we handle Reef.
Okay, stay silent,
let's do it. Follow me.
Whatever float your boats.
(tense uneasy music)
I've got a bad feeling about this place.
Well, all bad decisions start with that.
Someone's been here recently.
(tense uneasy music continues)
God, he's got shark eyes
on cities across the globe.
[Lisa] This is madness.
It's hard to control the world.
Lisa, the device please.
- What you doing?
- Research.
[Lisa] What does it say,
more engineered sequences?
Hmm, far advanced
work than I anticipated.
Our prodigal sons has
exceeded, even for my ambition.
- That explains it.
- This is a ground zero.
(tense uneasy music)
Where is he?
Guys, I need you to see this.
This is a terrorism plot.
My God, he's playing revenge on society
for his outcast career?
You were right Lisa, this is not Reef,
- this is beyond him.
- What do you mean?
Well, he probably led this organization,
but it's beyond him,
he's not a military leader,
or someone who can control the shadow cell.
[Lisa] People need to see this.
We need to report this,
immediately. This is too much.
If we can get the formula
for the serum he's using,
we can neutralize the threat.
You think the formula is here?
- We have to look.
- And now, we must,
(shark roaring) yes, it wasn't so nice.
- We got company.
- It's not company.
Run. (Shark roaring)
Oh my God, a fully mature bull shark.
(shark roaring)
I don't think he's big
enough to swallow us all.
- Stay behind.
- Oh my God.
Run. (Shark roaring)
[Lisa] John.
You are, two are more important that me.
But John... Go.
(shark roaring) (metal clanking)
(John gasping) (tense uneasy music)
(shark roaring)
Rob, we have to help John.
He is an officer, he has
been trained for this event,
and we are not.
No one's been trained
for this kind of stuff.
We don't have the formula,
but we can get the serum from the shark.
We have the shark.
The government has the shark.
We only have a few
tissues, this could be big.
Lisa, listen to me, Lisa.
I don't care.
(shark roaring) (John shouting)
We gotta get the serum,
no matter what the cost is.
(John groaning)
Come on, it's almost there. (Shouting)
(gunfire blasting) (shark roaring)
(uneasy thoughtful music)
- It's gone.
- Did you get the serum?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Is the motherfucker alive?
He'll be fine, a whole lotta stitches,
but he'll be fine.
(tense uneasy music)

You brilliantly saved the
re-formulary magnum opus.
Now we put the cell membrane here, okay.
And reconfigure the
protein synthesis there, wow.
It's broken, Rob.
Well, it proves it can be done,
but somehow (sighing) I
need, I need the full serum.
If we can get the formula
for the full serum supply,
we can reverse the mutation, saving Prague.
But first we have to pinpoint,
where is the Reef new lab?
Did you get the extract
from the hideout tunnel?
I did, but there are no clear indications
of another facility.
- Yeah, what's happening?
- Are you okay?
Yeah. Oh, what's happening,
did we find something?
We got the serum, but
we need the full supply.
- What is he doing?
- Calculating.
- What?
- He didn't say.
Any news from the outside?
The attacks have been
low, but they're still there.
(John groaning)
Huh. Lisa, John.
I've cracked the iconic
compound residency spectrum.
- What?
- You see?
My trace indicated concentrates in line
with these water purity measures.
I told you he was a genius.
How sure are we?
Are you joking?
All right, we'll wait till John's better,
and then let's go.
So we got the team back.
Yeah, thankfully in one piece.
(soft thoughtful music)
John, is it true about the sharks?
It's worse than we thought.
This is insane.
If I don't stop them,
more people will die.
You will stop them, of
course you do, you always do.
That's the thing you are
good at, saving people, saving
Us? (Soft thoughtful music)
I know I messed up.
I know I can't change the past but,
there is not always
everyone who can be saved.
What are you talking about?
There was a woman,
Maria. I tried to save her.
(tense uneasy music)
(gunshot blasting) (Maria sobbing)
(horn honking) (Maria sobbing)
(Maria gasping)
She shot me, and I've been
carrying that weight ever since.
(soft thoughtful music)
John, why didn't you tell me about this?
You can't keep holding onto the past,
especially when people need you now.
I keep seeing her face,
every time I try to focus on this case,
when I close my eyes.
You need to focus on
what's important now,
for me, and for all other people.
Do you think after
this, if there is peace,
we can, I need to know.
(soft poignant music)
(water sloshing)
(tense uneasy music) (swimmer gasping)
(shark chomping) (water splashing)
(footsteps crunching)
All right, so this is Professor
Crazy's not so secret lab.
[Robert] It seems like he
has invested the grand money
into maximum security, not maximum style.
No kidding, my undergrad dorm room
was cozier than this depressing bunker.
Good thing my once-brilliant prodigy
has been reduced to conducting
the groundbreaking research
in such a thing, so
accommodates her indignity.
I would rather focus on the army
ready to pump us full of lead, Professor.
We're never slipping past those guards.
I'm thinking stealth is our
only option. Any ideas?
Guys, I can see rows
of holding tanks inside,
for species of nearly-extinct sharks.
Seems like Reef have
pulled the heist of the centuries.
All right, we're shutting
this freak show down
one way or another.
- Ready? Let's go.
- Let's do this.
(tense uneasy music) (metal clanking)
- John?
- What's that?
I don't know, just read it.
(soft uneasy music)
This is it, bingo.
We need to analyze the
tissue cultures and protein gels
before our window
closes. (Machines chirping)
It confirms. You see?
These are DNA traces
from globally protected marine species.
(metal clanking)
- Is it done?
- Yes.
Then we need to leave before something
(alarm blaring) What's the plan now?
Nothing, we just have to fight.
- That's it?
- Kind of.
[Lisa] Damn, it
recognized our trap sensor.
Let's get the antidote.
(tense expectant music)
This place is built like a
damn maze. How much farther?
The boat's in the basement,
I think the lab is nearby.
[John] Come on, come
on, come on, come on.
What do we do, what do we
do now, what do we do no? John.
Go, go, go, go, go, go.
[Sentry] They are taking
the elevator, get them.
(alarm blaring)
Oh, shit.
We have to be fast, let's go.
(chuckling) Wow, this must be the heart
of the whole operation, huh?
Oh John, we've got company.
- We're trapped.
I just need more time.
No can do, brace yourself.
John. (Uneasy expectant music)
[Guard] Stay where you are,
hands where I can see them.
Any bright ideas? I'm fresh out.
I can only see the darkness.
- I need more time.
- On you're knees,
by order of the Black Octopus.
This laboratory is under our authorization.
- Black Octopus?
- You know them?
No, I just don't like it.
We're just here to see Dr. Reef.
[Guard] Dr. Reef is okay with this?
We can be of great service.
I'm Dr. Lisa Novak, an
expert within his field.
This is my colleague,
Dr. Kraft. We can help you.
[Guard] And the other one?
I'm just a lab assistant.
I only work with a very close group.
Only trusted ones, like Dr. Reef.
[Guard] And you
are full of shit, like him.
(sighing) Well tried Lisa, well tried.
That was worth a shot.
No, no, no. Okay, okay, okay.
(metal clanking) (liquid dripping)
We need to expose this
operation to world authorities.
Illegal genetic mutations,
crimes against nature.
Agreed, but we're not good
rotting in this goddam cell.
We need to access
their central genetics files.
I mean, if we can access and
transmit those mutating shark
genetic sequences, we can blow the door
on the whole goddam enterprise.
Wow, excellent idea Commander Kirk.
Except, we don't even know how to get out
from this rat cloister, infiltrate Reef's
gene-splicing temple.
We have to try Rob, who
knows what evolutionary
abominations they're gonna cook up next.
Telepathic dolphins
perhaps, mutated sea lions.
I didn't dedicate my career
to marine conservation
just to watch crazed
militants weaponize ocean life.
Okay, okay, okay, okay,
conceded, my skeptical ass.
I'm on board.
See, that's the spirit, Professor.
We're getting out of this
goddam lab one way or another.
(footsteps clattering)
- Who are you?
Someone sent ahead to do his dirty work?
Please, I'm Dr. Katrina Hammerschmidt.
I'm here to help you escape, before
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
How do we know we can trust you?
How do we know it's not a trap,
and you're just trying
to destroy the intel?
I know it seems suspicious.
I have been forced to assist
Dr. Reef's dangerous work here,
but I can stand by no longer
while they mutate sharks.
Guys, she could be a
plant, but probably, you know,
Reef's team is not as united as we thought.
I was the one who left
clues for you to follow.
Clues? What kind of clues?
The business card, charts in the tunnel.
That's how you got here, right?
How did you do this?
Well, if they find out, I'm dead.
(liquid dripping)
We're not gonna get anywhere
while we're stuck in this cell, guys.
I say we risk it.
We're running out of options.
You clearly have access
around the building, Doctor.
Could you show us the
way to the genetics lab?
Yes, I mean the tunnel leads right to it.
I can guide you safely past security.
(gate clanking) Walk quickly.
(metal clanking)
Dr. Hammerschmidt,
how on earth did you end up
getting involved with these
fanatics in the first place?
Well, I was recruited
by Dr. Reefs two year ago,
when he required geneticists
for advancing human lifespan.
It was already too late
when I found out the truth
about his motives, plans with the sharks.
You're still working alongside Dr. Reef.
Well I lacked courage at first,
but when I finally objected,
it was already too late.
But still, I couldn't just
sit and watch, it's the truth.
I know that, I knew that
someone would come for a week.
This way.
You're making things right now, Doctor.
Whatever Reef holds
over you, when we're done,
you'll have a fresh start.
(soft thoughtful music)
(footsteps clattering)
This is my old genetics lab.
We can access the entire
databases from this terminal.
Guys.
The antidote, Reef must be developing it
as a countermeasure to suppress mutations.
I'm afraid that his ambition exceeded
even my scientific imagination.
But yes, Doctor Reef's
refusing to create poison
without having an antidote on hand.
You did your best, under
your difficult circumstances.
All that matters now, we have to stop Reef.
Yeah, that's true.
Remember, we need
to move fast, all right?
Security can be here any minute.
[Katrina] That's true, here.
Thank you, I hope I don't gotta use it.
Well, better safe than sorry.
This is enough to neutralize
every shark in the cell.
Do you know how to
synthesize it in dispersal form?
I'm afraid you have to
figure it out yourself, Doc.
All right, let's get
outta this nightmare.
Hey, I was just getting
started, all the trouble here.
(tense dramatic music) (alarm blaring)
- They're coming.
- So where do we go now?
There is another way out, go down.
Oh gentlemen, thanks God you're here.
Please, arrest them all
and get them to my chamber.
Run! (Gunfire blasting)
- Katrina!
- No, go.
She's gone. (Tense uneasy music)
(gunfire blasting) (shark roaring)
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
(shark roaring) (gunfire blasting)
(vehicle whooshing)
Well, that was something.
Reef has to be stopped.
Who knows how many
more innocent lives are at risk
with those mutated sharks out there.
Yeah, you're right. But how?
Getting to him won't be easy.
He's got an army ready to protect him.
This army's not for him,
it's the formula and the specimens.
What do you mean?
They don't care about
Reef, Reef's work is done.
He doesn't mean anything to them.
Does Reef know that?
I know him, he is a not a
team player by any margin.
He doesn't like to be told what to do.
He's not gonna sit back
and wait for us to catch him.
Remember what Katrina
said? Reef's on the move.
Leaving his life's work behind?
If he's free and he's alive,
he can resume any work from anywhere.
We got the formula for the antidote.
We're gonna use that to save
the city from this nightmare.
That's a start.
Yeah, it's a matter of time.
(engine rumbling) (soft uneasy music)
(siren wailing) (computer clicking)
You sure this is gonna work?
We cannot afford any mistakes.
Of course I'm sure, just let me work.
She knows what she's doing, John.
After all, it's not every
day one gets to build
a marine mutation
reversing a dispersal system.
Right Lisa? Like you were
ever formally trained for this.
That's my Lisa. (Sighing)
- There, it's ready.
- Right, not bad.
But we're not out of this yet.
Katrina said Reef is
planning to pull out soon.
We have a small window to catch him.
Then I'm suggesting we
quit from sitting around here,
and start importing the ambush.
Anyone here is objects to capturing
my deranged former colleague?
- No objections here.
- None here.
All right listen up, Katrina
said Reef if planning to use
a particular back route outta the city,
towards the industrial city district.
If we could stop and
ambush him on the stretch
and block this road, we
can force him to pull over.
I assume you have more than just
flagging him down politely, Officer.
He's gonna answer for
what he's done to the city,
and to Katrina.
Then let's make sure
he doesn't get away with it.
Let's go then. (Tense uneasy music)
(car rumbling)
- Stop, freeze.
- Over.
[John] No, no, no, no, no, no.
[Reef] Stay back, or I will shoot her.
No, you're a fool.
[Reef] No you are a fool,
too fool to see my glamorous plan.
There's nothing
worse than killing people.
[Reef] Just because you don't get it,
doesn't make it wrong.
Greater good requires sacrifices.
Drop the gun, drop the gun.
Drop the gun or I will shoot her.
(John groaning) (tense uneasy music)
(gun clicking)
- Lisa.
He's crazy. (Passengers chattering)
[John] This is where it ends, Reef.
You've got nowhere to go, give up.
You will pay for what
you've done to this city,
and to Katrina.
[Reef] (chuckling)
Yeah, yeah, you will never
defeat me or my plan, ah.
(shark roaring) (water splashing)
(birds chattering)
Good night Reef,
sleep well with the fishes.
Ah, ah, fuck John, where's that maniac?
Well, he got killed by his own invention.
Don't point it at people.
It's finally over.
It's for now, but something
tells me it will be more.
Do you think there is more?
Moron like him,
probably about three billion
- on this earth.
- Come on, come on.
Well there's peace
now, let's just enjoy that.
[Robert] Now we have
to prepare the drone.
It's ready.
- Okay, let's go.
- Let's go.
(gentle thoughtful music)
Wow, a new day.
Hopefully an end to this shark crisis.
Well said, Professor.
I've been itching to say
that since I came to Prague.
- Really?
- Well, not really.
Since I was a little kid.
Right, I programmed the
drone to disperse the antidote
throughout the entire ecosystem,
and follow the river's currents.
If my calculations are right,
this serum should neutralize
the mutation of every shark within minutes.
(gentle thoughtful music) (drone buzzing)
[John] So, now we just wait and see if
[Robert] Look at that.
So, anyone in for fin soup?
Just because I'm Asian,
you think I eat those,
shark fin soup?
- Have a mercy, John.
- Come on, I'm paying.
Well if you pay, why not?
(gentle thoughtful music)
(captain sighing) (knuckles knocking)
John, what are you doing here?
I assumed after everything
that transpired, you were
Well, all the chaos made
me question orders, I admit,
but serving and protecting
people remains my calling.
Very good.
I mean, after seeing
all those shark crimes,
I woke up and saw that
there are greater evils there
than fighting bureaucratic tape.
Sure. Hmm well, I was too rigid.
Your intuition was correct
about the shark and the threats,
and your scientist colleague was right too.
- I know.
- Hmm. (Chuckling)
Well you know, perhaps I should listen
to my officers more often.
I continue to bleed blue Captain,
even if high powers obscured
the water for some time.
- Welcome back to the team.
- Thank you, Captain.
See you around.
[Assistant] Special delivery Doctor,
the live jellyfish samples you requested
for neurotoxin analysis.
Shall I set up the examination tanks?
Please allow me, and
thank you again for staying on.
Of course, couldn't pass up the chance
to keep learning from the best.
(soft thoughtful music) Doctor, all good?
Yes, yes, very good.
I can understand, did you lose someone?
- We all lost someone.
- Sure.
Well then, let's discover
some answers, shall we?
Let's dive in. (Gentle thoughtful music)
(Robert clearing throat)
- Welcome back Doctor.
I guess your trip to Prague was eventful.
Well, eventful doesn't
even begin to cover it, Klara.
- So what's the plan?
- Here, I want you to file it
under the shark incident Prague.
We need it for our research in the future,
and tomorrow I want all my schedule clear,
all of my schedule,
all call, I do not want it.
I earned it, one day,
minimally rest for me, okay?
After this nightmare.
A shark slayer taking a day off?
Damn, I have. Well do
not get comfortable, okay?
We have so much work ahead to do,
and the ocean is not
going to protect itself, okay?
Welcome back, Doctor.
- See you tomorrow.
- Yeah.
John, I'm sorry.
I've been avoiding you for so long,
I know it's been quite a
time, but I needed this.
- I didn't expect to see you.
- I know.
I didn't know what to say.
Outside everything that
happened with the sharks,
I just needed this time to figure out
what was going on with my life.
I couldn't picture my life,
and the future with you.
I was scared.
You were so busy with your
work, and I didn't know if,
if I could live with this
fear of losing you, John.
I was just doing everything
I could to save people.
I never wanted to make you feel that way,
but I didn't know how to make it work
between the two of us,
with all of this happening.
But, but now everything
is different, right?
You've got a new team, you moved on.
I finally realized that I don't want
to keep running from the past,
I don't want to run away from it.
I don't want to run away from you, John.
What, what, what do you mean?
I want to try again. I mean it.
I know it's not gonna be easy,
but we'll see if it can work out.
(gentle thoughtful music)
You know, when the,
when this whole thing started I,
I never thought that I would make it but,
well, here we are. (Bright hopeful music)
Well, but now when the sharks
are done terrorizing Prague,
I've been given a new responsibility,
not only to protect the city,
but I'm going over the whole world.
I don't think it's gonna be easy.
You wanna do it together, right?
Right. (Gentle hopeful music)
(plane engine roaring) (wheels scraping)
[Pilot] Ladies and
gentlemen, welcome to Prague.
Current time is half past 3:00.
(bright hopeful music) (birds cawing)
I can still hardly believe
that it's been two months
since we were in a full-blown
"Jaws" sequel situation here.
I don't know, I kinda like "Jaws."
The human mind never ceases to amaze.
Now let's strive not to put
Prague's collective psyche
to the test against bio-engineered
monsters ever again.
Indeed, I'd rather think that life itself
deserve some respite from the scientists
who are playing God, beyond its kind,
(phone chiming) well at least for now.
Should I grow bored in my
Emeritus years from now
Oh now, I wanted to take the respite,
but I've got reports of
unidentified sea creatures
attacking ships in the Pacific.
"East China Sea naval
bases are on high alert,
after detecting abnormal sonar pings."
Well, it appears that
genetically altered cephalopod
has begun venturing
beyond friendlier water.
- One more time?
- Why not, sure. Lisa?
Well, no time to waste then.
We need to alert maritime authorities,
and assemble a capture plan.
Yeah, the team is back. Let's go.
(tense dramatic music)
