Whalefall (2026) Movie Script

Are you ok?
Yes, I'm fine.
Are you sure you don't want to go?
No.
I can't believe it's been over a year.
Madness.
Yes.
Let's have something to eat.
Yes, let's eat something.
Where should we go?
Will there be a cafe?
Translated into Turkish; ufukbaba
nTranslation v2.2 was used.
Wishin still stands.
There are a lot of
things still standing.
Yes.
Another round from your mother.
Thanks a lot.
Yes.
Number 2!
Cheers.
Cheers, honey.
Stop.
Do you remember Go Fish?
Oh.
You know we had ponytails?
My father also injured his back.
That's right, he slipped
and fell on his ass.
Yes.
He would lie on his
back, waiting for us to let our hair hang over his mouth,
We would try to avoid its bite.
What was it?
This is terrible.
Do you know?
You are too slow.
You lost.
It was fun.
He loved it..
I know you fainted.
I loved it too.
Yes.
Were you laughing?
Yes.
Yes.
Are you okay, J-Bird?
Are you ok?
Yes.
Are you ok?
Yes, I'm fine.
Yes.
I don't know.
No, I don't remember that memory.
Anything else?
I like your hair.
I know.
Yes, it looks great.
It looks bad.
It could have been much better.
Do you see what I mean?
Yes.
Have welding done or something.
Yes.
I can't believe so many
people remember it.
Not all for him, but also for my mother.
What?
There is also one for my mother.
Yes, but if it's for my
mother, it's for us too.
-Of course but..
-For their children too.
No, I know.
Yes.
Yes.
Good morning my baby.
Didn't you really go
sit with him tonight?
No, I don't know,
I didn't feel like it...
Have you opened the letter yet?
Of course we know that letter.
We all received letters.
writing you a letter
What else could he do?
He wasn't exactly kind.
He was always telling me
what he thought about me.
-Shhhhhh.....
-Okay.
He asked about you..
Yes.
-I know whatever happened on his boat...
-You don't know.
You don't know, you don't know.
My friend.
I am sorry.
Sorry, I...
I tried to be there but...
Do you know...
Do you have any information
about the empty coffin?
So it's just a wooden box.
Sleepyheads, stand up!
That's why I came back.
I am sad.
He saved my life once.
What?
Yes.
I went very deep at the
beach along the Carmel River.
Nitrogen hit..
It was a classic case, you know.
I started acting drunk.
I was hearing voices.
I was trying to convince the
fish to breathe through my device.
This man swam out of nowhere
and took me up like an angel.
He saved my life.
It probably saved many lives.
Did you know?
Jay?
We knew it was you.
Come here bro, come on.
Yes.
I didn't know you were back.
Yes, yes.
I'm settling here for a few days.
To my mother and siblings..
I have a job.
I will be back.
Look at you.
University student you..
Working man.
-It should last for an hour.
-Thank.
My old Faber-Tank.
Iowa has this I guess
you don't need it.
I thought you hated diving.
The last dive was a fiasco.
How about trying another route?
Maybe...
I'll go directly from here.
Clear.
You took a diving course, right?
The funny thing is...
I passed by the beach on my way
here, the Coast Guard was swarming.
Something must have
happened during the night.
Or it is close to the shore.
Maybe they don't let
anyone in the water.
Shall we go on Sunday,
just the two of us?
Shall we have dinner and sail
by boat? I'm going on Sunday.
It could be Saturday.
I don't want to be on that ship.
I am sorry.
But thank you.
Tell you what?
Then I'll steal someone's
boat, what's the idea?
That's the Jay I know, come on.
So this is your first dive
since I went to school.
For the first time since I got back.
You will go through training,
breathe, calm down, all that shit.
I know.
Your father was harsh on you, but he
especially knew what was going on down there.
Don't forget.
I won't forget.
Yes.
Of course.
This is it.
Are you ok?
I am good.
Great.
It's nice to see you.
-I'll call.
-That would be good.
I always want to see
you, even on land.
I know.
Jay.
Yes?
To the edges of the canyon in
Monastir He made sure we were close.
He never wanted to
die in a hospital bed.
I think it's enough for
everyone He wanted to be close.
If you don't listen to me, you will die.
Do you understand?
Yes sir.
This is Faber-Tank.
If there is a problem with
your regulator, use the spare.
The yellow one.
It's called octopus.
Don't laugh while drowning.
1, 2, 3...
You have 3 chances to save yourself
There were but you missed them all.
You died.
You died.
You died.
Do you think this weight is enough?
I don't know.
You know... I... I... I... What?
Magic now!
Your weight is not correct.
Find something to
sink your skinny ass into.
Or take your clothes off
until you learn how to use it.
Gloves...
Do it.
A bone.
Come on, please.
Show me..
Show me how.
As the ship increases,
the noise also increases.
All that Sonar is driving the whales crazy,
Then they don't know where to shit,
and since they can't shit properly,
they can't feed the water with plankton.
Plankton from the
rainforest absorbs more CO2.
Did you know this?
Yes.
Without it, we die.
All because of tourists.
So they can take a
selfie with the whale.
Come on.
Dad, I... Mesothelioma I was
researching the treatment.
No, no, no, there is no cure.
Woodoo until the end of my
life I live skewered like a baby.
There is something called
immunotherapy, It would be very useful.
Father.
I'll never be able to dive again.
What I wouldn't give to be able to dive.
Even if it's just to hit a golf ball.
Do you remember him?
Water obstacles at
country club, all that diving
through the mud, all that
flammable methane gas.
We gotta blow this shitty boat up.
Why not?
So, you don't want it.
Iowa
Dad, I don't want
to talk about this.
It's a good school, well...
Look, there are greasy
rags in the warehouse.
We can blow it up, Jay.
Come on.
Let's blow this shit up together.
Come on.
No, you can still use it.
You can still move
It's good for you.
I know you hate it, but you
can still go on a few tours.
Dad, this will be good for you.
Iowa
Father.
Iowa will have to wait.
talk about iowa
I don't want it, dad.
Good school.
They pay my school fees.
You can't go.
Yes, that's right.
Take a last look at your precious land.
This is home..
Whales can sip comfortably We will
drink it until it reaches a consistency.
We owe them so much,
Don't you think so?
So respecting the whale makes it a It
doesn't mean watching from a cruise ship.
It means living with him.
It means dying with him.
The Inuit knew this.
They built their entire
business on whales.
A whale was feeding the whole village.
Every part of that whale
was becoming a part of them.
They got a new tattoo
for every whale they killed.
When an Inuit died, they embalmed him
and took him with them the next time.
Can you do this for me?
What?
Can you tie my body to the back of
the boat and take me home forever?
What?
No, you're leaving soon.
Only.
You are not ready.
You are not ready.
Inuit tattoo.
It's your turn.
Come on..
We're tattooing an Inuit on your face.
Remember, whales need to drink.
Whales must drink, yes they must.
Dad, come here.
Drink.
Fix your hair.
Cut it a little.
Drive a little, like this.
You don't have to do this.
Look, we just cut it a little bit
and then the whale recognizes you.
Leave it alone.
I respect you.
Leave it alone.
I'm protecting you.
Leave it alone.
That's the handle of the knife.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Give it to me.
What's your problem?
Knife?
Phil, you're not ready for
the world. You are not ready.
What about a world
without you? Watch and see.
-Look, you and me.
-You and me.
What?
You and me.
We must be a team.
We must be a team.
We are not a team.
What are you saying?
Can't you see I'm just coming
here and trying to fix you?
I'm trying, can't you see I'm trying?
I don't know how.
I can't and I'm afraid of you.
I wanted today to be different, but you...
You can't treat me like this, pass from me.
-Where are you going?
-I am going home.
Cancer won't change, you will always...
You can't go there.
It's not for us anymore.
Let me go.
Wait.
Wait.
Your lungs are weak.
It's better than being finished.
Can you hear me?
Stop!
Jay!
I see no signs of debris.
Breathe like you're sleeping.
Inflate your belly.
Take a long breath.
Absolute calm.
May your weather last for a long time.
No!
No!
No!
Sleepyheads, stand up!
Five minutes.
Outside!
Here it is.
Don't forget to rinse your mouthpiece.
You won't be able to breathe when you
get there, sorry.
I bought.
Beautiful.
Now we're ready for the old magic ratio.
79% nitrogen, 21% oxygen.
That's it.
...dad, I forgot to mention...it's Daniel's birthday
and
He wants to go to Ocean World.
Really?
Yes.
I forgot they were
both at the same time.
What about Apple Pinnacles?
You brought it up,
but we didn't actually say 100% yes.
No, we confirmed 100%, yes.
Are you going to Ocean World?
Fake Ocean?
It's his birthday
and just for fun.
Yeah, just fun.
Is it your birthday?
Are you going to Ocean World?
Yes.
Yes!
Are you going to
play with jellyfish?
It was fun.
Happy birthday!
Existence is not just
about having fun.
For example, about understanding nature,
not by being a part of the world,
not by being a cog in the wheel
of the industrial commercial order.
I never understood
what it meant.
Think.
Think..
Do you want the meter we talked about?
Thank.
You don't need it though.
What?
It measures.
Your own internal clock You
have already developed it.
You can instinctively
time safety stops.
What?
Currents, sun position You
can look and find your way.
You've already thought
of everything, right son?
See you later.
Enjoy the Orcas.
It sounds like a lot of fun.
I'll be back for dinner, thanks.
The ocean is always for you
keeps an eye out.
Ok.
OK, go.
We're going home, okay?
Well done.
I am good.
I don't want... I don't want...
I won't let him
touch any of you.
I can't do it.
I can't stand it anymore.
He's done with me!
He's done with me!
He's done with me!
You didn't say you were a vegetarian!
I told you.
This is not good.
This is not good.
It's not good at all.
I am good.
Are you ok?
No, no.
I am good.
I need you.
Do you want to hurt me?
Get me out of here..
OK?
I am sorry.
Let me go out.
I think you're scaring them,
You'd better slow down a little.
I once met a biologist.
He said sperm whales
have vocal cords.
Very strange.
The cubs use it to
call their mothers.
The day you were born is in your lungs
You
cried so hard that
a small hole opened.
Anyway, baby spermaceti
Whales,
just like you, cry even
when they grow up.
That hole in their throats is still there,
It's completely asymmetrical,
so they can eat squid all day.
And they can actually let out
the loudest scream in the ocean.
This makes your lovers a little
nervous, Don't you think so?
This is a warning.
No!
Let me fuck off..
Hey Whale!
Help...
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate you so much.
I hate it.
I hate you so much.
So what?
Isn't it your turn?
Do you know why?
Because they are hunters.
In the ocean, the hunters have all the advantage.
They can follow you,
They can attack you from every angle.
What choice do
preys like you have?
Accepting your
pre-ordained destiny as cod.
Yes, sir.
The hunt becomes so dangerous
that the hunters have to give up.
You say
The hunt becomes so dangerous that
the hunters are forced to abandon it.
So what will you do?
I will force you to vomit me.
Son of a fagot!
I'll make you vomit!
You don't look anything like him.
We understood before this..
We tried.
We are trying..
Death or life.
Magnificence or...Death.
Sailing?
You know this better than I do.
Those who survive
continue to live.
There's only one thing a
whale can do to save himself.
Yes, what is it?
Make it the biggest one.
Summon Alpha Elf.
If you die, I die too.
It's too late now.
I'm not worth saving.
Please!
help me..
Whale!
No, I won't..
Everything will be fine.
Consider it time to visit.
I won't visit him.
That's not the point.
The point is you.
Do you understand?
I don't want you to regret it.
No.
Please.
Chance of survival is 10 percent.
We will not die again.
Jay!
I love you.
I have to go.
He's always talking about you.
All he talks about is you.
He wants to withdraw his entire record.
Jake!
Jake, stop!
Give me my bag.
You are the reason he clings to life.
I didn't ask him for this.
I am her.
I'm right here.
Come on.
Tell him you're here.
I will come this time.
They are here!
Let them come out.
Free your family.
Why did you give birth to me?
We wanted to have a son.
You never acted like that.
We wanted to convey what we know to you.
It didn't work.
It worked.
Because you're still alive.
I can teach you other things so that
one day you can devote
yourself to whatever you want.
Anything can happen.
I'll handle it.
When it's time to break bread, My
sweet boy, you will know what to do.
Are they still here?
Yes, but they are leaving.
I'm not going.
Return here.
We... will die soon.
Sorry we missed it.
No problem.
We wanted you to escape from us.
No problem.
We have a few minutes left.
We can do this.
My father is up to something.
Is there anything you want to learn?
Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
I don't have a girlfriend.
Boyfriend?
Thanks but... No.
Do you like it there?
Iowa?
Yes, I love it.
It doesn't feel like home,
but... I felt like I had to go.
From where?
I felt like I had to run away from you.
Here we are now.
What did you want to
be when you grew up?
I don't know.
Maybe Park Ranger.
To be free.
Have you ever wanted a dog?
What?
We were always sad that you
kids never had a dog, weren't we?
This was the least of our troubles.
Have you ever read this?
No.
I lied.
I know.
anything you love
I don't want to love.
I'm sure it is.
What's my favorite part?
do you know?
Where?
That's my favorite part too...
I'm sorry we don't ask ourselves
these questions more often.
Why didn't you ask?
We wanted to know, but we were right.
What did you say?
It's in your letter that I've never read.
That I made many mistakes.
That I always wanted
you to run away from me.
I just forgot..
.
I'm sorry.
I can't find the remains
I'm sorry about that.
I am sorry.
I am sorry.
I am sorry.
I'm sorry again.
Jay, you are my relic.
Remember that night.
I don't want to remember.
What if you could?
Remember.
There's a basket full of oil
rags in the engine room, Jay.
Blow up!
I can die, you can die.
I can die or I can live.
Actually, it's not even that funny.
All that methane in your system,
old lung examination machine with
asparagus dye inside
It must be something like that, he just blew his ass off.
Did you hear that, Jay?
Methane gas blew his ass.
Methane.
Remember those water
hazards at the golf club?
Diving through all that mud and stuff?
Methane.
Nine volts.
Some metal.
Battery.
Battery!
Yes!
Please!
Help!
No!
No!
Ceiling.
Steel.
Ceiling!
Steel Wool..
Ceiling.
Ceiling.
OK, we are ready.
The magic ratio we know,
79% nitrogen, 21% oxygen.
There is no fire without oxygen.
I can't even hear you.
I'll have to go
back to kill myself.
The ocean always gives
you everything you need, Jay.
We can.
It's time.
I can't kill you.
We stand for you.
Whale is eternity...
A word that suits you.
Are you ready?
Father?
Father?
Are you ready?
I know that when whales die,
they create a whole ecosystem,
life sprouting from them for centuries.
This one whale, one spark,
Do you know what they call it?
Whale Fall...
Translated into Turkish; ufukbaba
nTranslation v2.2 was used.
What is your name?
Jay.
Jay?
I'll be right back.
I told you I'd bring you
back to the boat, huh?
How's the wine?
Perfect.
Good stuff, huh?
Well, yes.
Yeah, we should take a look at this.
First class.
Can I have some more?
Sweetie.
Are you ready to go home?
Yes.
