Deep Blue Sea

Synopsis: A businessman sinks $200 million into a special project to help fight Alzheimer's disease. As part of this project, medical biologist Susan McAlester rather naughtily figures out a way to genetically enlarge shark brains, so that disease-battling enzymes can be harvested. However, the shark subjects become super smart and decide they don't much like being cooped up in pens and being stabbed with hypodermics, so they figure a way to break out and make for the open sea...

Bigger. Smarter. Faster. Meaner....
Deep Blue Sea (1999)
So beautiful.
What's that?
- Did you feel something?
- Yeah, I feel something.
Hey, get back here!
Turn up the music!
We're having a party, man.
You guys are having fun. Boat's rocking.
Stop!
- You're paranoid!
- Listen.
Did you hear that?
Listen, listen.
- You hear that?
- What is that?
Everybody, shh!
Stay up there.
What is that?
Come on!
Okay, we've had some problems
at the facility.
What we're attempting to achieve
has never been done.
We're this close to the reactivation
of a human brain cell.
Doctor...
...the $200 million I sunk into this company
is due in great part to your research.
But when the market opens Monday...
...despite my reputation,
I don't like heights.
Especially falling from them.
I'm sorry, honestly.
Tell me, Mr. Franklin, have you ever known
anyone with Alzheimer's?
Well, no.
By the end, all my father could do
was ask why my mother wasn't at home.
Each time I said she was dead,
I saw him take the loss like a car wreck.
200,000 men and women
develop Alzheimer's each year.
What if you could end all that suffering
with a single pill?
Give me till Monday morning. 48 hours.
I'll give you results
that'll skyrocket your stock price...
...or I'll help you pack the lab myself.
It's your call.
That was an impressive speech
you gave back there.
I read that article on you.
- The thing in the Himalayas.
- Alps.
Right.
We were just trying
to do something together.
Having fun.
Things went bad.
But you saved all those people.
Not all.
Navy built it for WWII submarine loading...
...refueling.
When they mothballed it, we picked it up,
added aquatic pens, underwater labs.
Your dime, I guess.
Looks like Alcatraz floats.
What do you think? She's a 12-footer.
She's beautiful.
- She wants to give you a big kiss.
- I bet.
She's got a license plate
jammed in her mouth.
It's a good deal, amigo.
Drop her, Billy!
Russell Franklin, Janice Higgins.
Marine biologist.
Jan will get you settled.
Welcome to our island paradise.
Where's Tattoo?
You know, short guy?
"The plane, Boss! The plane!"
Right.
I am getting old.
How much do you know about our facility?
Treat me like a tourist.
I hate tourists and I've decided
I'm going to like you.
"Louisiana."
I think he was bought in a pet shop
in Baton Rouge.
Ate everything in his tank,
and then ate the guy that bought him.
Next day, fills up the cab of the guy's truck
with water and drives to Baja...
...picking bones out of his teeth
with the license plate.
We need to talk.
Later.
Carter Blake, Russell Franklin,
president of Chimera Pharmaceuticals.
That was incredible.
Actually, they don't like the taste
of us very much.
If they bite you, it's because
they think you're a fat little seal.
Or a rich suit.
Nice meeting you.
Friendly place.
You got full sentences.
Usually, he just kind of nods.
Word travels fast
about why you're here and all.
Was that the Gen 1 that escaped?
That little guy? No way.
Those are the normals.
These three are the test sharks.
Two first-generation
and one second-generation female.
Beneath its glassy surface...
...a world of gliding monsters.
It's pretty scary stuff, huh?
Yes. It is.
Tower to water taxi.
Ben, I'm picking up a nasty little bitch
of a squall about 30 miles out.
Over.
Copy that. We'll be all right.
Jan, stay out of the rain.
Where are they going? They hate me too?
They're going home.
We run a skeleton crew on the weekend.
But they probably hate you anyway.
There's Dr. Jim Whitlock,
