1 - Some people stand in the darkness afraid to step into the light some people need to help somebody when the edge of surrender's in sight don't you worry it's gonna be all right 'cause I'm always ready I won't let you out of my sight I'll be ready I'll be ready never you fear no, don't you fear I'll be ready forever and always I'm always here 'Cause I'm always ready I won't let you out of my sight I'll be ready I'll be ready never you fear no, don't you fear I'll be ready forever and always I'm always here -Got you.
Got you.
Hey, Hobie, you see this anchovy? -Yeah.
-This anchovy is guaranteed to catch the biggest fish of the bay.
Go! -I don't think it was the right one anyways.
-I think you're right.
-Dad, dad, I caught one.
-Okay, hang on.
Hang on.
Don't horse him.
Give him some line.
Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
Excuse me, going through, coming through.
Excuse me, coming through.
There you go.
Doing good.
-What kind you think it is? -I don't know.
Maybe Halibut.
Okay.
Pull up.
Reel down, reel down.
Okay.
Pull up.
Reel down, reel down.
Whoa.
Hang on, partner.
Keep the pressure on.
You got yourself a shark.
-I don't think I can hold it much longer.
Well, hang on, pull up, reel down, pull up.
Okay, now, reel down.
Hold up.
You got to reel down.
Come on, hang on.
It's coming.
Oh.
-I'm sorry, pal.
Nobody on this boat could've brought that monster in.
-All right, so what do we got on this? -Five bucks.
-Nice sneeze.
Come on, 20.
-All right.
All right, all right.
20 bucks.
-All right.
Okay, here we go.
Yes! Huh, okay? Thank you, thank you.
-Oh, boy, that's a what, ten-pointer there.
Believe you might have done it.
-I believe I have.
What do you say? We make a double or nothing.
-No, you got it my friend.
You got it.
Double or nothing.
-Knock yourself out.
-Indeed.
So what do you say if I told you we can make 25 grand in one weekend's work? -Against how many years in jail? -I'm serious, man.
All we got to do is catch the biggest fish.
All right.
All right, the biggest shark.
-I hate sharks.
-Come on, man, this is easy money.
Easy.
What makes you think we can win this thing? -Navy taught us all there is to know about sharks.
Where they hang out, what they like to eat, what attracts them.
-25 grand, huh? Every penny split right down the middle.
You in? -Yeah.
Yeah, I'm in.
All right.
I knew you'd see it my way.
Not bad.
Here.
-So then Eddie tells me he's going to be in the shark derby for the next three days, which, of course, means that we can't go shopping for new clothes for Gary and dede's wedding.
-Men.
-I know.
What makes them think that they can wear jeans to absolutely every occasion? What kind of a guy enters a shark derby anyway? Look, I don't like the derby either, but there's nothing wrong with fishing, especially like fishing.
-You fish? -Yeah.
Started when I was fifteen.
Mattawamkeag lake, Maine.
Really? -Yeah.
All week-long I'd take my little rowboat out there, a fishing pole, bucket of worms, and a big book.
-How many did you catch? Nothing at first.
Dropped my line in the water, and I didn't get a bite till I got halfway through the book.
But it was worth the wait.
I got a big striped bass.
Got it in and had it for dinner that very night.
-Sounds like a gas.
-Yeah, I got pretty serious about fishing after that.
Never did finish a book, "wuthering heights.
" I wonder how it ended.
-So, I figure, three days' work, 12 grand.
Huh? Not bad.
If you win.
Yes.
We are officially entered in bucky Allen's ocean grill shark derby.
-All right.
Sorry, Mitch, I don't think we can do a three-way split though.
-That's okay.
I'm not interested in killing sharks for bucky Allen or his damn restaurant.
-You like sharks? -No, I just stay away from anything with bucky Allen's name on it.
-You really don't like this guy, do you? -He's an opportunistic sleazy self-promoter.
-Yeah, send me 2,000 of those t-shirts with my logo on them.
Yeah, right.
Oh, and a couple of hundred of those, you know, plastic little toy sharks that I can just hand out to the kids.
No, send the cheap ones.
I don't care if they break.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, and, Sam, if you deliver this stuff by tonight, dinner's on the house, bring your wife or your girlfriend.
Okay, talk to you later.
Hi, guys.
-How are you doing, bucky? Thanks for coming by.
-Dad said you wanted us to do some diving for the shark derby.
This isn't like the time you had us plant that phony sunken treasure, is it? I wanna talk to you.
Sit down, guys.
Now I want you to tell me why you think it is people come to bucky's ocean grill? -The food? -The view? -Come on.
There's better food and a better view right up the coast.
-It's you.
That's right.
That's right.
All modesty aside, the public loves me.
But this is the restaurant business, it's very fickle.
Here today, could be gone tomorrow.
-It's not gonna happen to you.
-But it could.
It could, and that's why I want this shark derby to be the biggest and the best show ever.
I want people talking about it for months.
I want tourists coming in to see those dead sharks hung up.
-So what you want us to do? Gentlemen, I want you to help me make this the biggest and the best shark derby this town is ever gonna see.
-Sure, just tell us how.
"Sure, just tell us how.
" Shut up, chum.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
It's a beautiful day.
-Yeah.
You ever tried this stuff? -What? -It's Bahamian love lotion? -No.
-You'll never believe what's in here.
-What's in there? -It's got tropical oils, fruit juices, and oat bran.
-They finally came up with a sunblock that lowers your cholesterol? -Every little bit counts, I guess.
Besides it's the latest thing.
-Yeah.
-What's the matter? Call in.
-Hey, shark! There's a shark out there.
-Go! -Come on, man! -Get out of the water.
Get out.
Stay on your board.
Get out of the water! You're safe.
Okay, get on.
-What was going through your mind as you entered the water to reach that surfer? -I was just thinking about getting that guy out of the water.
That, and the theme from "jaws".
-Weren't you scared? Yeah, sure I was scared.
Wouldn't you be? -You have got quite a story on your hands.
Nothing compared to the way they're gonna make it sound.
-Should have been working on Shauni, asking her why the beaches weren't closed.
-Maybe they shouldn't be.
-I have heard that several other sharks have been seen in the area.
As far as I know-- -one other.
This afternoon at sunset beach.
-Was anybody hurt? -No, nobody was hurt.
-Excuse me.
-Yeah.
-What happened this morning was an isolated incident.
Every year at this time, the shark population increases because they are giving birth in the bay.
-Doesn't that mean you have a shark problem on your hands? -No, what it means is this year is no different than any other year.
We have never had a shark attack in the area.
-What about the shark derby that's being sponsored now by a local restaurant? Will that have any effect on the public safety? -Any time you got a bunch of fishermen chumming up and down the coast trying to incite a feeding frenzy, yes, I would say it's more dangerous to go into the water.
-Then you are opposed to the shark derby? -I think it's irresponsible.
-All right, boys, now you're going to get a chance to go diving.
Out back you'll find a 55-gallon drum full of fish guts.
I want you to take this gizmo, attach it to that drum, okay? Then I want you to take it about 200 yards off shore and sink it right in front of his restaurant.
Make sure you weight it down.
-You got it, bucky.
-I'd like you to do that later tonight, say 11-12 o'clock.
-Well, it's kind of tough to dive at night.
-How tough? -But we can do it, right, Roy? -Right, Roy? -So you're saying that because some of your lifeguards cried shark, I am supposed to cancel my derby.
-No, it's not what I am saying.
-You were about to.
You're getting that righteous lifeguard look on your face again, Mitch.
Tony, see if you can find me another bottle of that '74 cabernet.
-Why don't we just put our personal feelings aside here and concentrate on the problem.
-What problem? A shark was sighted.
I am having a shark derby.
Problem solved.
-I'm suggesting you postpone the derby until I have a chance to see if there's an unusual amount of sharks out there.
That's all.
-Suggestion rejected.
Tony, serve it to table 18.
Let him know that bucky Allen personally recommended it.
That's a very nice finish.
You were saying? -You know that a derby will attract sharks because there's people out there chumming.
-Mitch, all I know is that there's not a damn thing in the world you can do to stop me from having this shark derby.
Would you excuse me? -I am stuffed.
-You guys stay put.
I'll clear tonight.
-You cleared last night.
-Two nights in a row won't kill me.
-Want some coffee? Yeah, I'd love some.
-Taken care of.
-Excuse me, what is it you are about to hit me up for? -I have something I'd like to discuss with you responsibly.
Now whatever your answer is, I'll accept it just as long as you're fair with me.
Responsibility, fairness, no problem.
What's on your mind? -I'd like to enter the shark derby.
-Not a chance.
Some sugar? -Give me one good reason why.
-I'll give you a bunch of good reasons, then you can choose one.
A, you're not old enough.
B, you don't have the registration fee.
C, you don't have a boat.
And d, it's too dangerous.
And e, I am dead against this tournament.
The end.
-Well, don't you think that you could at least listen to him? -Oh.
Okay.
-I am old enough, at least I was the other day when I hooked that shark with you.
Besides, someone offered to take me.
Paid the boat registration fee, and will make sure it's not dangerous.
Hobie, anybody home? Hey, Hobie, how is it going? Hey, Amanda.
-Hello.
So did you talk the old man into it? -No, he has not talked the old man into it.
-Dad.
-Oh, come on now, what's the big deal about letting the boy go fishing, huh? I mean, look, I need a good first mate, and he'll be learning from the very best.
-Captain, I just got through reaming bucky Allen about the tournament.
How can I let Hobie go now? -Because you can let me make my own decisions.
-He's got a point.
-I mean he's a teenager.
-What is this? I am surrounded here.
All right, you can go, but you be careful.
Thanks.
Smile, old man, you did the right thing.
You know, hob, I remember one time down off Costa Rica, tracking the biggest hammerhead I ever saw.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention? Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages, welcome to bucky's ocean grill shark derby! Now, all catches are going to be weighed in right here at five o'clock this afternoon, so be sure you come back and see what these guys bring in.
And as a specialty of the day.
What are we gonna be serving? Fresh shark! Don't run away, the derby's gonna be starting in about five minutes.
I really wish you wouldn't do this.
-Nothing's going to happen, right? -Right, I've been sport fishing for years.
See? And that's supposed to make me feel better? What about killing all those poor helpless little fishies? -Poor helpless little fishies? And here I was thinking you were concerned for my safety.
-Your safety? Oh, great.
-Oh, c'mon, Shauni, I've been diving with nothing but a knife strapped to my leg and seen plenty of sharks.
There's nothing to worry about.
They just take off.
-See? These, gone.
Come on, don't worry.
There's nothing to worry about.
Huh? Trust me.
Okay.
You took my box.
Where is that? -You do everything captain Thorpe says and you be cheerful, okay.
-I will, dad.
-Mitch, glorious day.
-Yes.
-Hobie, give me a hand with this bucket.
What's that? That is chum, assorted goodies for only the most discriminating of sharks.
Entrails, intestines, bladders, livers, only the very best.
-And if that doesn't spoil your appetite, here is your very favorite stuff.
Peanut butter and cookies.
-Thanks.
-That's good thinking.
Before this day is over, he's gonna need all his strength and energy.
-Now, remember, this is a three-day tournament, so there's gonna be plenty of fish for you all to come down and see.
So let's wish all our guys well and may the best man bring in the biggest shark! You got it.
-You think this is gonna scare people away? -I'm not trying to scare anybody, Jill.
Five o'clock news and that idiot running a shark derby has already taken care of that.
-People are still in the water, they must not be too worried.
At this point, all we can do is warn them and keep an eye on them.
Well, look at that.
-Well, isn't this something? We've had 43 sharks brought in today, but none any bigger than the one these fellas got to take the lead, so let's hear it for them.
Good job.
And I'll tell you something.
We are not gonna have any shark problems in this bay once these guys get done fishing.
I hope all you good people come back to make sure you meet the winner of the 25,000-dollar first prize.
Remember, we got specials in the bar all weekend long.
That's where I am going.
-You might as well put a name on that check here, bucky.
-Congratulations, that's quite a catch.
-Hey.
Oh, way to go.
Did you catch that? -Yeah, reeled him in and everything.
-Oh, he did great, great.
-How about you, captain Thorpe? How did you do? -Oh, I was busy piloting the boat, you know, checking the currents.
-Hey, look, we got to go.
Good luck tomorrow.
-Same to you.
-Keep it up, huh? -I will.
-All right.
-Come on.
Come on, don't pull.
You are gonna get dumped, man.
-Oh my god.
Mitch! Shark! Wayne, come on, stop rocking the boat.
-Move, move! Out of the water! Get out of the water! Get out of the water! -Help! Help me! Hurry! I got you.
Hold on to me, baby! Jill, hurry! Jill, hurry, we're right here! Hurry! Jill! Jill, hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Jill! Jill! Jill! -Jill! -No! -Mitch! Jill.
-Jill! Jill! Jill! Jill! Jill! -You've been here a long time -We're hoping she's gonna wake up.
-Well, she lost a great deal of blood in the attack.
She suffered extensive internal injuries.
-She is going to make it, isn't she? -I don't know, yet.
But we're doing all we can.
You get a couple of more minutes, then we'll have to ask you to wait with your friends out in the waiting room, okay? -Hi.
-Hi.
Hi.
-Hi, guys.
I feel so numb.
Well, you're supposed to feel numb.
I mean, they got you pumped up with all kinds of medicine.
It was so sudden.
This follows an awful pain.
Nothing.
-It's okay.
You get some rest.
-No, it's okay.
She's awake and she's talking.
Well, that's good.
-Here.
Mr.
Allen, what is your reaction to the near-fatal shark attack on lifeguard Jill Riley? -Turn that up, will you? -That was a terrible, terrible thing, but I have set up a fund for miss Riley at the restaurant and I am personally donating all of my bar receipts from the third day of the tournament.
Thank you, thank you.
And we've also decided that we will accept late entrants in the derby because we feel that the more people who are out there catching and dragging in these monsters, the better off we are gonna be.
Thank you very much.
-I'm starting to hate that guy.
-Yeah, I know what you mean.
-Never should've entered that damn tournament.
-Business is looking pretty good, huh? Yeah, well, people know where to go to have a good time at a fair price.
-No doubt, since you've been exploiting Jill's shark attack.
-I resent that, Mitch.
You insult me.
I've even started a fund for that poor girl.
-Get off it, huh? Just spare me the bull.
You're promoting your restaurant and the shark derby every time you make a comment to the press about the attack.
Now I want it to stop.
-You're real good at telling people how to live their lives, aren't you? -Isn't it a strange coincidence that there happens to be an unusually large amount of sharks in the bay this year? -What do you think I'm doing, Mitch, having them shipped in from sea world? The truth is my derby is helping to get rid of a few.
-You know the truth of the matter is this shark derby could be bringing them in.
-Ha, you'd really like to believe that, wouldn't you? -I got a friend of mine lying in the hospital right now fighting for her life.
I'm gonna find out what's going on here, man.
And when I do, I'm coming back.
-He's pretty upset.
-Yeah.
-If he finds out about that transmitter-- -he won't.
Because we are going to be quiet about it, aren't we, boys? -Yes, sir.
-All right.
-Hey, you going somewhere? Yeah, I'm going somewhere to find out why all these damn sharks are so aggressively coming into shore.
-You are going down in this thing? -Yeah.
Something's going on down there.
I don't know what it is.
-You think bucky's tournament might have something to do with it? -Little much for coincidence, wouldn't you say? -Yeah, I wouldn't put it past him.
So when are you going out? As soon as I get my gear ready.
-I will go with you.
-Thanks, I appreciate that.
Check you later.
-Hey, Mitch.
How is she doing? She's hanging on.
What do you hope to pick up with that tape recorder? -Ultra-low frequencies? Maybe some high magnetic fields? -It would put a new twist on things, wouldn't it? -It would.
-Got it.
All right, Eddie, ow when you see us pulling that rope, it means to get us up.
Ready? Yeah.
Keep an eye on the other boats.
Make sure that people are chumming over our heads, huh? -You got it.
30 sharks? -Easily.
I've never seen anything like it.
-It was eerie, man.
I mean, this great white came in and took a bite right out of the cage.
-What? -All right, so, Mitch, what are we supposed to be hearing here? -Nothing.
These sounds are ultra-low frequency.
-Well, I'm with Eddie.
How do we know there is a sound? -There, it's right here.
It's going nuts.
-It means Mitch recorded something down there.
-Listen.
-What's that? -Some sort of electronic sound that's attracting sharks.
-Sharks can hear that? -Garner, sharks are attracted to ultra-low frequency and the smell of blood.
Put the two together and you got sharks from miles around.
-Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You mean some fool planted this? -It's not a natural occurrence of nature, now, is it? How much proof do you need? -I need the transmitter, for one.
Motive, for another.
-Come on, garner, you know what the motive is.
I mean, bucky wanted to be center stage, drum up business for his shark derby and his damn restaurant.
-I need more to go on.
-I'll go find the transmitter.
-You don't think I'm gonna let you guys go out there alone, do you? Look, if this guy's guilty, I want him as badly as you do.
-When can you be ready? -Pretty quick.
Give me a chance to talk with this bucky character, see if I can find out something that will keep us out of the water.
-"We're eternally grateful to you for our son's life.
Best wishes, the manginos.
" -Yeah, they stopped by.
Nice, huh? -Nice.
I think what you did for them was very important, too.
-Hi.
Hey, buddy.
-I see you have enough of these, I'll just-- -no, I never have enough of those.
-I have something else for you, too.
-It's from Shauni.
She said you'd understand.
"Wuthering heights.
" That's really sweet.
You guys are so great.
-Now, don't go getting silly and sentimental on us.
-You want me to get the doctor? It's okay.
-I guess I won't be in my tower today.
-I'll keep an eye on it for you.
-I don't know when I'm gonna be back at work.
Will you forget about that for now? Just concentrate on getting well and getting the hell out of here.
-I assume you guys are having a big homecoming party for me? On it, yeah.
-Thanks.
-She's doing 50%, 75% better than she was doing yesterday.
-Dr.
Potter.
-We just saw Jill.
She's looking great.
-She's a strong woman.
-When do you think we'll be able to take her home? -Well, with over two hundred sutures, it may be a while.
She has internal injuries and has a lot of healing to do.
Excuse me.
-Yeah.
-Thanks.
Hi, I'm officer ellerbee.
Hi.
-Listen, you've seen bucky? -No.
-There's a cop up there.
-What's he doing? -Snooping around.
They're gonna find out about the transmitter, I know it, and we're gonna get arrested for what happened to that lifeguard.
-We didn't know that was going to happen.
-Look, maybe we should just go to the police and tell them it was all bucky's idea.
-Really think they'd believe you? -Don't listen to him, bucky.
We're not going to tell anybody.
-Damn right he's not.
What we're gonna do is we are gonna go get that transmitter right now.
Let's get in the boat, gentlemen.
Come on.
Come on, where are you? Come on! Get it? -It's right here.
-Great.
Where's your brother? -A shark came after us.
He went through with his bang stick.
It came right at us.
There's sharks everywhere.
-Get out of here.
-Come straight on.
-Wait! Where are you going? Bucky! -Bucky, get over here! -There's sharks everywhere.
Bucky.
-Grab the rope, here.
Cut him off, cut him off! Mitch, Mitch! Mitch.
Mitch! Help! -You gotta get me out of here, Mitch.
Mitch! Help! Pull me out.
-Not until you tell me what I wanna hear.
-Well, I didn't do anything, I swear.
It was all an accident! -Let's go.
-What about him? -Leave him.
-You can't do that! All right, all right! All right, so I sent those two kids out with a transmitter just to lure some sharks in, but it was just a publicity stunt.
I didn't mean to get anybody hurt.
Please, please get me out of here.
-All right, I heard him.
Get him out of here.
-Bye.
Get on board.
The da promised to make bucky sweat bullets.
They'll charge him with a felony, do some bargaining, and bucky will plead to a misdemeanor for throwing an oil drum in the water.
-What about a lawsuit? -Well, that's different story.
Bucky is gonna get buried alive.
-No more bucky's ocean grill? -Yeah, Jill's gonna be in the restaurant business by the time we're through.
-Mitch.
What's going on? She was doing so good.
They were gonna take her off the iv and let her go home next week.
-What? -She's gone.
They said it was a blood embolism.
Then that it happened real quick.
Craig, she's dead.
Do I stop loving you just because you're gone? When the music stops I still hear your song I feel you close to me I'll never let you go I wanted you to know through all the highs and lows don't cry because it's over goodbye doesn't mean the end it just means we'll meet again time doesn't stand still you think it'll last forever for now I'll be waiting till we can be together don't cry because it's over don't cry because it's over don't cry because it's over goodbye doesn't mean the end it just means we'll meet again
Got you.
Hey, Hobie, you see this anchovy? -Yeah.
-This anchovy is guaranteed to catch the biggest fish of the bay.
Go! -I don't think it was the right one anyways.
-I think you're right.
-Dad, dad, I caught one.
-Okay, hang on.
Hang on.
Don't horse him.
Give him some line.
Excuse me.
-Excuse me.
Excuse me, going through, coming through.
Excuse me, coming through.
There you go.
Doing good.
-What kind you think it is? -I don't know.
Maybe Halibut.
Okay.
Pull up.
Reel down, reel down.
Okay.
Pull up.
Reel down, reel down.
Whoa.
Hang on, partner.
Keep the pressure on.
You got yourself a shark.
-I don't think I can hold it much longer.
Well, hang on, pull up, reel down, pull up.
Okay, now, reel down.
Hold up.
You got to reel down.
Come on, hang on.
It's coming.
Oh.
-I'm sorry, pal.
Nobody on this boat could've brought that monster in.
-All right, so what do we got on this? -Five bucks.
-Nice sneeze.
Come on, 20.
-All right.
All right, all right.
20 bucks.
-All right.
Okay, here we go.
Yes! Huh, okay? Thank you, thank you.
-Oh, boy, that's a what, ten-pointer there.
Believe you might have done it.
-I believe I have.
What do you say? We make a double or nothing.
-No, you got it my friend.
You got it.
Double or nothing.
-Knock yourself out.
-Indeed.
So what do you say if I told you we can make 25 grand in one weekend's work? -Against how many years in jail? -I'm serious, man.
All we got to do is catch the biggest fish.
All right.
All right, the biggest shark.
-I hate sharks.
-Come on, man, this is easy money.
Easy.
What makes you think we can win this thing? -Navy taught us all there is to know about sharks.
Where they hang out, what they like to eat, what attracts them.
-25 grand, huh? Every penny split right down the middle.
You in? -Yeah.
Yeah, I'm in.
All right.
I knew you'd see it my way.
Not bad.
Here.
-So then Eddie tells me he's going to be in the shark derby for the next three days, which, of course, means that we can't go shopping for new clothes for Gary and dede's wedding.
-Men.
-I know.
What makes them think that they can wear jeans to absolutely every occasion? What kind of a guy enters a shark derby anyway? Look, I don't like the derby either, but there's nothing wrong with fishing, especially like fishing.
-You fish? -Yeah.
Started when I was fifteen.
Mattawamkeag lake, Maine.
Really? -Yeah.
All week-long I'd take my little rowboat out there, a fishing pole, bucket of worms, and a big book.
-How many did you catch? Nothing at first.
Dropped my line in the water, and I didn't get a bite till I got halfway through the book.
But it was worth the wait.
I got a big striped bass.
Got it in and had it for dinner that very night.
-Sounds like a gas.
-Yeah, I got pretty serious about fishing after that.
Never did finish a book, "wuthering heights.
" I wonder how it ended.
-So, I figure, three days' work, 12 grand.
Huh? Not bad.
If you win.
Yes.
We are officially entered in bucky Allen's ocean grill shark derby.
-All right.
Sorry, Mitch, I don't think we can do a three-way split though.
-That's okay.
I'm not interested in killing sharks for bucky Allen or his damn restaurant.
-You like sharks? -No, I just stay away from anything with bucky Allen's name on it.
-You really don't like this guy, do you? -He's an opportunistic sleazy self-promoter.
-Yeah, send me 2,000 of those t-shirts with my logo on them.
Yeah, right.
Oh, and a couple of hundred of those, you know, plastic little toy sharks that I can just hand out to the kids.
No, send the cheap ones.
I don't care if they break.
Yeah, okay.
Oh, and, Sam, if you deliver this stuff by tonight, dinner's on the house, bring your wife or your girlfriend.
Okay, talk to you later.
Hi, guys.
-How are you doing, bucky? Thanks for coming by.
-Dad said you wanted us to do some diving for the shark derby.
This isn't like the time you had us plant that phony sunken treasure, is it? I wanna talk to you.
Sit down, guys.
Now I want you to tell me why you think it is people come to bucky's ocean grill? -The food? -The view? -Come on.
There's better food and a better view right up the coast.
-It's you.
That's right.
That's right.
All modesty aside, the public loves me.
But this is the restaurant business, it's very fickle.
Here today, could be gone tomorrow.
-It's not gonna happen to you.
-But it could.
It could, and that's why I want this shark derby to be the biggest and the best show ever.
I want people talking about it for months.
I want tourists coming in to see those dead sharks hung up.
-So what you want us to do? Gentlemen, I want you to help me make this the biggest and the best shark derby this town is ever gonna see.
-Sure, just tell us how.
"Sure, just tell us how.
" Shut up, chum.
-Good morning.
-Morning.
It's a beautiful day.
-Yeah.
You ever tried this stuff? -What? -It's Bahamian love lotion? -No.
-You'll never believe what's in here.
-What's in there? -It's got tropical oils, fruit juices, and oat bran.
-They finally came up with a sunblock that lowers your cholesterol? -Every little bit counts, I guess.
Besides it's the latest thing.
-Yeah.
-What's the matter? Call in.
-Hey, shark! There's a shark out there.
-Go! -Come on, man! -Get out of the water.
Get out.
Stay on your board.
Get out of the water! You're safe.
Okay, get on.
-What was going through your mind as you entered the water to reach that surfer? -I was just thinking about getting that guy out of the water.
That, and the theme from "jaws".
-Weren't you scared? Yeah, sure I was scared.
Wouldn't you be? -You have got quite a story on your hands.
Nothing compared to the way they're gonna make it sound.
-Should have been working on Shauni, asking her why the beaches weren't closed.
-Maybe they shouldn't be.
-I have heard that several other sharks have been seen in the area.
As far as I know-- -one other.
This afternoon at sunset beach.
-Was anybody hurt? -No, nobody was hurt.
-Excuse me.
-Yeah.
-What happened this morning was an isolated incident.
Every year at this time, the shark population increases because they are giving birth in the bay.
-Doesn't that mean you have a shark problem on your hands? -No, what it means is this year is no different than any other year.
We have never had a shark attack in the area.
-What about the shark derby that's being sponsored now by a local restaurant? Will that have any effect on the public safety? -Any time you got a bunch of fishermen chumming up and down the coast trying to incite a feeding frenzy, yes, I would say it's more dangerous to go into the water.
-Then you are opposed to the shark derby? -I think it's irresponsible.
-All right, boys, now you're going to get a chance to go diving.
Out back you'll find a 55-gallon drum full of fish guts.
I want you to take this gizmo, attach it to that drum, okay? Then I want you to take it about 200 yards off shore and sink it right in front of his restaurant.
Make sure you weight it down.
-You got it, bucky.
-I'd like you to do that later tonight, say 11-12 o'clock.
-Well, it's kind of tough to dive at night.
-How tough? -But we can do it, right, Roy? -Right, Roy? -So you're saying that because some of your lifeguards cried shark, I am supposed to cancel my derby.
-No, it's not what I am saying.
-You were about to.
You're getting that righteous lifeguard look on your face again, Mitch.
Tony, see if you can find me another bottle of that '74 cabernet.
-Why don't we just put our personal feelings aside here and concentrate on the problem.
-What problem? A shark was sighted.
I am having a shark derby.
Problem solved.
-I'm suggesting you postpone the derby until I have a chance to see if there's an unusual amount of sharks out there.
That's all.
-Suggestion rejected.
Tony, serve it to table 18.
Let him know that bucky Allen personally recommended it.
That's a very nice finish.
You were saying? -You know that a derby will attract sharks because there's people out there chumming.
-Mitch, all I know is that there's not a damn thing in the world you can do to stop me from having this shark derby.
Would you excuse me? -I am stuffed.
-You guys stay put.
I'll clear tonight.
-You cleared last night.
-Two nights in a row won't kill me.
-Want some coffee? Yeah, I'd love some.
-Taken care of.
-Excuse me, what is it you are about to hit me up for? -I have something I'd like to discuss with you responsibly.
Now whatever your answer is, I'll accept it just as long as you're fair with me.
Responsibility, fairness, no problem.
What's on your mind? -I'd like to enter the shark derby.
-Not a chance.
Some sugar? -Give me one good reason why.
-I'll give you a bunch of good reasons, then you can choose one.
A, you're not old enough.
B, you don't have the registration fee.
C, you don't have a boat.
And d, it's too dangerous.
And e, I am dead against this tournament.
The end.
-Well, don't you think that you could at least listen to him? -Oh.
Okay.
-I am old enough, at least I was the other day when I hooked that shark with you.
Besides, someone offered to take me.
Paid the boat registration fee, and will make sure it's not dangerous.
Hobie, anybody home? Hey, Hobie, how is it going? Hey, Amanda.
-Hello.
So did you talk the old man into it? -No, he has not talked the old man into it.
-Dad.
-Oh, come on now, what's the big deal about letting the boy go fishing, huh? I mean, look, I need a good first mate, and he'll be learning from the very best.
-Captain, I just got through reaming bucky Allen about the tournament.
How can I let Hobie go now? -Because you can let me make my own decisions.
-He's got a point.
-I mean he's a teenager.
-What is this? I am surrounded here.
All right, you can go, but you be careful.
Thanks.
Smile, old man, you did the right thing.
You know, hob, I remember one time down off Costa Rica, tracking the biggest hammerhead I ever saw.
Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention? Ladies and gentlemen, kids of all ages, welcome to bucky's ocean grill shark derby! Now, all catches are going to be weighed in right here at five o'clock this afternoon, so be sure you come back and see what these guys bring in.
And as a specialty of the day.
What are we gonna be serving? Fresh shark! Don't run away, the derby's gonna be starting in about five minutes.
I really wish you wouldn't do this.
-Nothing's going to happen, right? -Right, I've been sport fishing for years.
See? And that's supposed to make me feel better? What about killing all those poor helpless little fishies? -Poor helpless little fishies? And here I was thinking you were concerned for my safety.
-Your safety? Oh, great.
-Oh, c'mon, Shauni, I've been diving with nothing but a knife strapped to my leg and seen plenty of sharks.
There's nothing to worry about.
They just take off.
-See? These, gone.
Come on, don't worry.
There's nothing to worry about.
Huh? Trust me.
Okay.
You took my box.
Where is that? -You do everything captain Thorpe says and you be cheerful, okay.
-I will, dad.
-Mitch, glorious day.
-Yes.
-Hobie, give me a hand with this bucket.
What's that? That is chum, assorted goodies for only the most discriminating of sharks.
Entrails, intestines, bladders, livers, only the very best.
-And if that doesn't spoil your appetite, here is your very favorite stuff.
Peanut butter and cookies.
-Thanks.
-That's good thinking.
Before this day is over, he's gonna need all his strength and energy.
-Now, remember, this is a three-day tournament, so there's gonna be plenty of fish for you all to come down and see.
So let's wish all our guys well and may the best man bring in the biggest shark! You got it.
-You think this is gonna scare people away? -I'm not trying to scare anybody, Jill.
Five o'clock news and that idiot running a shark derby has already taken care of that.
-People are still in the water, they must not be too worried.
At this point, all we can do is warn them and keep an eye on them.
Well, look at that.
-Well, isn't this something? We've had 43 sharks brought in today, but none any bigger than the one these fellas got to take the lead, so let's hear it for them.
Good job.
And I'll tell you something.
We are not gonna have any shark problems in this bay once these guys get done fishing.
I hope all you good people come back to make sure you meet the winner of the 25,000-dollar first prize.
Remember, we got specials in the bar all weekend long.
That's where I am going.
-You might as well put a name on that check here, bucky.
-Congratulations, that's quite a catch.
-Hey.
Oh, way to go.
Did you catch that? -Yeah, reeled him in and everything.
-Oh, he did great, great.
-How about you, captain Thorpe? How did you do? -Oh, I was busy piloting the boat, you know, checking the currents.
-Hey, look, we got to go.
Good luck tomorrow.
-Same to you.
-Keep it up, huh? -I will.
-All right.
-Come on.
Come on, don't pull.
You are gonna get dumped, man.
-Oh my god.
Mitch! Shark! Wayne, come on, stop rocking the boat.
-Move, move! Out of the water! Get out of the water! Get out of the water! -Help! Help me! Hurry! I got you.
Hold on to me, baby! Jill, hurry! Jill, hurry, we're right here! Hurry! Jill! Jill, hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Jill! Jill! Jill! -Jill! -No! -Mitch! Jill.
-Jill! Jill! Jill! Jill! Jill! -You've been here a long time -We're hoping she's gonna wake up.
-Well, she lost a great deal of blood in the attack.
She suffered extensive internal injuries.
-She is going to make it, isn't she? -I don't know, yet.
But we're doing all we can.
You get a couple of more minutes, then we'll have to ask you to wait with your friends out in the waiting room, okay? -Hi.
-Hi.
Hi.
-Hi, guys.
I feel so numb.
Well, you're supposed to feel numb.
I mean, they got you pumped up with all kinds of medicine.
It was so sudden.
This follows an awful pain.
Nothing.
-It's okay.
You get some rest.
-No, it's okay.
She's awake and she's talking.
Well, that's good.
-Here.
Mr.
Allen, what is your reaction to the near-fatal shark attack on lifeguard Jill Riley? -Turn that up, will you? -That was a terrible, terrible thing, but I have set up a fund for miss Riley at the restaurant and I am personally donating all of my bar receipts from the third day of the tournament.
Thank you, thank you.
And we've also decided that we will accept late entrants in the derby because we feel that the more people who are out there catching and dragging in these monsters, the better off we are gonna be.
Thank you very much.
-I'm starting to hate that guy.
-Yeah, I know what you mean.
-Never should've entered that damn tournament.
-Business is looking pretty good, huh? Yeah, well, people know where to go to have a good time at a fair price.
-No doubt, since you've been exploiting Jill's shark attack.
-I resent that, Mitch.
You insult me.
I've even started a fund for that poor girl.
-Get off it, huh? Just spare me the bull.
You're promoting your restaurant and the shark derby every time you make a comment to the press about the attack.
Now I want it to stop.
-You're real good at telling people how to live their lives, aren't you? -Isn't it a strange coincidence that there happens to be an unusually large amount of sharks in the bay this year? -What do you think I'm doing, Mitch, having them shipped in from sea world? The truth is my derby is helping to get rid of a few.
-You know the truth of the matter is this shark derby could be bringing them in.
-Ha, you'd really like to believe that, wouldn't you? -I got a friend of mine lying in the hospital right now fighting for her life.
I'm gonna find out what's going on here, man.
And when I do, I'm coming back.
-He's pretty upset.
-Yeah.
-If he finds out about that transmitter-- -he won't.
Because we are going to be quiet about it, aren't we, boys? -Yes, sir.
-All right.
-Hey, you going somewhere? Yeah, I'm going somewhere to find out why all these damn sharks are so aggressively coming into shore.
-You are going down in this thing? -Yeah.
Something's going on down there.
I don't know what it is.
-You think bucky's tournament might have something to do with it? -Little much for coincidence, wouldn't you say? -Yeah, I wouldn't put it past him.
So when are you going out? As soon as I get my gear ready.
-I will go with you.
-Thanks, I appreciate that.
Check you later.
-Hey, Mitch.
How is she doing? She's hanging on.
What do you hope to pick up with that tape recorder? -Ultra-low frequencies? Maybe some high magnetic fields? -It would put a new twist on things, wouldn't it? -It would.
-Got it.
All right, Eddie, ow when you see us pulling that rope, it means to get us up.
Ready? Yeah.
Keep an eye on the other boats.
Make sure that people are chumming over our heads, huh? -You got it.
30 sharks? -Easily.
I've never seen anything like it.
-It was eerie, man.
I mean, this great white came in and took a bite right out of the cage.
-What? -All right, so, Mitch, what are we supposed to be hearing here? -Nothing.
These sounds are ultra-low frequency.
-Well, I'm with Eddie.
How do we know there is a sound? -There, it's right here.
It's going nuts.
-It means Mitch recorded something down there.
-Listen.
-What's that? -Some sort of electronic sound that's attracting sharks.
-Sharks can hear that? -Garner, sharks are attracted to ultra-low frequency and the smell of blood.
Put the two together and you got sharks from miles around.
-Wait a minute, wait a minute.
You mean some fool planted this? -It's not a natural occurrence of nature, now, is it? How much proof do you need? -I need the transmitter, for one.
Motive, for another.
-Come on, garner, you know what the motive is.
I mean, bucky wanted to be center stage, drum up business for his shark derby and his damn restaurant.
-I need more to go on.
-I'll go find the transmitter.
-You don't think I'm gonna let you guys go out there alone, do you? Look, if this guy's guilty, I want him as badly as you do.
-When can you be ready? -Pretty quick.
Give me a chance to talk with this bucky character, see if I can find out something that will keep us out of the water.
-"We're eternally grateful to you for our son's life.
Best wishes, the manginos.
" -Yeah, they stopped by.
Nice, huh? -Nice.
I think what you did for them was very important, too.
-Hi.
Hey, buddy.
-I see you have enough of these, I'll just-- -no, I never have enough of those.
-I have something else for you, too.
-It's from Shauni.
She said you'd understand.
"Wuthering heights.
" That's really sweet.
You guys are so great.
-Now, don't go getting silly and sentimental on us.
-You want me to get the doctor? It's okay.
-I guess I won't be in my tower today.
-I'll keep an eye on it for you.
-I don't know when I'm gonna be back at work.
Will you forget about that for now? Just concentrate on getting well and getting the hell out of here.
-I assume you guys are having a big homecoming party for me? On it, yeah.
-Thanks.
-She's doing 50%, 75% better than she was doing yesterday.
-Dr.
Potter.
-We just saw Jill.
She's looking great.
-She's a strong woman.
-When do you think we'll be able to take her home? -Well, with over two hundred sutures, it may be a while.
She has internal injuries and has a lot of healing to do.
Excuse me.
-Yeah.
-Thanks.
Hi, I'm officer ellerbee.
Hi.
-Listen, you've seen bucky? -No.
-There's a cop up there.
-What's he doing? -Snooping around.
They're gonna find out about the transmitter, I know it, and we're gonna get arrested for what happened to that lifeguard.
-We didn't know that was going to happen.
-Look, maybe we should just go to the police and tell them it was all bucky's idea.
-Really think they'd believe you? -Don't listen to him, bucky.
We're not going to tell anybody.
-Damn right he's not.
What we're gonna do is we are gonna go get that transmitter right now.
Let's get in the boat, gentlemen.
Come on.
Come on, where are you? Come on! Get it? -It's right here.
-Great.
Where's your brother? -A shark came after us.
He went through with his bang stick.
It came right at us.
There's sharks everywhere.
-Get out of here.
-Come straight on.
-Wait! Where are you going? Bucky! -Bucky, get over here! -There's sharks everywhere.
Bucky.
-Grab the rope, here.
Cut him off, cut him off! Mitch, Mitch! Mitch.
Mitch! Help! -You gotta get me out of here, Mitch.
Mitch! Help! Pull me out.
-Not until you tell me what I wanna hear.
-Well, I didn't do anything, I swear.
It was all an accident! -Let's go.
-What about him? -Leave him.
-You can't do that! All right, all right! All right, so I sent those two kids out with a transmitter just to lure some sharks in, but it was just a publicity stunt.
I didn't mean to get anybody hurt.
Please, please get me out of here.
-All right, I heard him.
Get him out of here.
-Bye.
Get on board.
The da promised to make bucky sweat bullets.
They'll charge him with a felony, do some bargaining, and bucky will plead to a misdemeanor for throwing an oil drum in the water.
-What about a lawsuit? -Well, that's different story.
Bucky is gonna get buried alive.
-No more bucky's ocean grill? -Yeah, Jill's gonna be in the restaurant business by the time we're through.
-Mitch.
What's going on? She was doing so good.
They were gonna take her off the iv and let her go home next week.
-What? -She's gone.
They said it was a blood embolism.
Then that it happened real quick.
Craig, she's dead.
Do I stop loving you just because you're gone? When the music stops I still hear your song I feel you close to me I'll never let you go I wanted you to know through all the highs and lows don't cry because it's over goodbye doesn't mean the end it just means we'll meet again time doesn't stand still you think it'll last forever for now I'll be waiting till we can be together don't cry because it's over don't cry because it's over don't cry because it's over goodbye doesn't mean the end it just means we'll meet again
