Expedition Great White Page #2

unless they bend the hook.

PAUL:
Good chance it

was that, that monster,

that big female we

saw off the back.

CHRIS:
To break

that kind of tackle.

That was a monster fish.

That was bigger than

anything we got so far.

That was an amazing

demonstration of power.

BRETT:
Pulled hard

that's for sure.

JODY:
The one

that got away.

CHAD When the gear fails

us, that's the hard part.

You work so hard for every

little step and then a

gear failure is the

ultimate slap in the face.

CHRIS:
That sucks, man.

NARRATOR:
Losing a shark

isn't the day's only

frustration.

Some unexpected

guests arrive.

Mexican authorities.

Armed and ready

to board the ship.

With fresh bait

in the water,

Chris and Domeier are

caught off guard.

CHRIS:
You want me to put

it away while they're over

there so we don't catch a

shark while we're here.

What if we hang one?

DOMEIER:
They'll come

aboard and they're going

to see the hook.

We hang one, we hang one,

I mean that's what we're

here to do.

CHRIS:
OK cool.

OK go get your

permit and get ready.

They're going to

give us an ear full.

NARRATOR:
When the

expedition team set sail

from the Mexican

mainland for Guadalupe,

they had their

permits in hand.

But 160 miles out at sea

rules are less certain.

CHRIS:
So, you're always

worried even though you

have all your paperwork

and even though everything

is in order that the next

guy who's gonna come check

on you is gonna tell you

your stuff's not in order.

NARRATOR:
Unease spreads

as the soldiers fan out.

CHRIS:
You know it can be

quite intimidating when

there's big guns around

and masked people,

you know.

What in the world's

going to happen here?

And the one guy rolls in

with his gun and he's got

his mask on.

One of the most, like

intimidating guys on the

boat and one of our mates

Brandon walks over and

he's like "any of you

guys want a cigarette.

And the guy who was the

scariest guy of all is

like "yeah" and he just

pulls down his mask and

starts smoking

a cigarette.

I was like, 'Classic.

We're good.

Anytime they come you just

kind of, I don't know,

you clean up.

And I said to the

guys, like, hey,

man if you want it and we

have it you can have it

you know.

You need some food.

You need some fuel.

Whatever we carry so many

supplies on the ship.

necessita mas bebidas?

gasolina?

Agua?

Comeda?

Tequila?

SOLDIER:
Muchachas?

CHRIS:
No muchachas.

No tenemos este.

And so the guys they left

us and they cruise off

heading back to

their Navy station.

Alright, that

went very well.

Very well.

I'm excited about how that

went because it never goes

that easy.

Ever!

And then they turned
