(GASPS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Oh.

Ugh.

Ah!

(GRUNTING)

(CROCODILE ROARING)

You again?

(CROCODILE GROWLS)

You really want to do this?

(ROARS)

DENNIS:
This research is

very important, Sheriff.

TERESA:
Don't worry,

Dennis, we'll catch you one.

There's a good feeding spot up

here where the currents meet.

Sounds good.

Why does this always seem like

a better idea on dry land?

Why did the crocodile

cross the road?

To eat the chicken.

You have a way of taking

the fun out of things.

You sound like

my daughter.

Remember, we're here to

capture, not kill, not injure.

As far as we know,

there are only half a dozen

of these crocodile creatures

on all of planet Earth.

There's more two-headed cats

born every year.

Oh, now we know

that's not true.

The point is, we kill

one of them, even one,

we're making the world

a lonelier place.

Are you buying

this craziness?

It's tree-hugging bullshit!

All right, get to it.

Crocodiles,

normal crocodiles,

they couldn't survive

in these conditions.

(GRUNTS)

Yeah, yeah, we get it.

They're a damn miracle!

You know, the miracle is that we

haven't napalmed this place yet.

My previous job used to be on the

anti-preservation side of things.

Fish and Game shanghaied me

into this for one reason.

Yeah, to make sure you didn't

go to prison for poaching.

Because I know how to blow

these bastards to high hell

if things go all ape-sh*t.

(CROCODILE GROWLS)

Reba, I've got one.

(SIGHS)

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

What the hell

was in those?

Elephant roofies.

Seems like it did the trick.

Jump into croc-infested

waters, that's smart.

Smart, no.

Fun? F***, yeah!

(SIGHS)

Lieutenant.

Sheriff.

You got what you came for?

Five-footer.

Should do.

Great.

Then let's get

the hell out of here.

Spotted the footprints of

something bigger down the shore.

TERESA:
How much bigger?

RYAN:
A lot.

Work fast.

Eat me.

Let's get the hell

out of here.

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

We gotta get

the hell out of here.

Oh, for f***'s sakes.

(GROWLING)

Damn it!

Max!

Open the gate.

Come on, Max, open the gate!

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

(DEVICE BEEPING)

Watch this sh*t.

You're gonna love it!

(ROARS)

That one had to be

20 feet long.

You told me

the biggest one was six feet,

maybe seven feet at the most.

Listen, lady, the first

time I saw that thing

is when it tried to

bite our asses off.

It's your job

to keep tabs on them!

It's a big damn lake!

Look, none of my people

saw anything that big

while building the fence.

What, your boyfriend

gets a pass but I don't?

Max, wait

by my truck.

If I can stick my head into this

lovely argument for a second...

Let me guess, the Godzilla wannabe

up there is even more miraculous

and life-affirming than the rest of

them, and we can't kill it either.

No! But something

important is happening here.

Crocodile, a normal croc?

No way it gets even 10 feet.

He's right. I mean,

the growth rate on these crocs

is mathematically impossible.

You want to contain

this problem, Sheriff?

You gotta find out the cause,

mutation, environmental factor, what?

Think about that before

you start shooting guns.

There's no need for shooting.

That's what the fence is for.

Keep crocs in,

people out.

Who has access to the lake?

The four of us, a few more Army

Corps people, EPA, Fish and Game.

From now on, no one goes

in or out without my say-so.

I'm gonna call your boss, see if I

can get him to take your leash off.

RYAN:
Hey.

Hey.

Look, she's not my...

The Sheriff, she is

nobody's girlfriend.

(SCOFFS)

Sounds like your problem.

Can we, uh, short circuit this whole

rebellious teen, authoritarian

dad thing, please?

I'm good.

Now can I get

back to work?

Look at me.

When this place was

a glorified petting zoo,

I was okay with

you being here.

Now, with what

we just saw...

You gonna tell

those other guys

that it's too dangerous

for me to work out there,

but not too dangerous

for them?

Okay.

Finish your work and

I'll see you at home.

(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

Hi!

Hi, Mom.

Give it.

Ah, give it back!

Oh, don't tell me

you're studying again.

If you saw the reading list I

just got from my Lit professor...

The ink isn't even dry

on your diploma yet.

Ease off the throttle

a little.

What do you have against

having a good time?

I slept in today.

No, you didn't. I heard

you typing on your computer

when I left this morning.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm a little obsessive.

(LAUGHS) A little?

(LAUGHS) A lot.

Come with me on a walk.

I want some coffee.

(LAUGHS)

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS)

(TURKEY GOBBLING)

(GOBBLING CONTINUES)

(GRUNTS)

(CROCODILE GROWLING)

TERESA:
The EPA director

won't even submit it

to his subcommittee,

which means...

Cut out the boring parts.

My hands are tied.

MAN:
B*tch!

(SCOFFS)

What's his problem?

Why does everybody

think this is our fault?

We've been here six months. Black

Lake was lousy with the reptiles

before I ever heard of the place. Mmm.

Hey! What can I get you?

Hey, Barbara, the usual.

Yeah, sure.

Me, too. Thanks.

TERESA:
So, I have

a really great idea.

CHLOE:
Yeah?

Yeah.

What?

Why don't you read for a

couple of hours, you know,

then we'll rent a movie,

a foreign film, so you can

still feel like you're reading.

(CHUCKLES) Chloe?

Yeah?

Yes to what you said.

So what's the first

book on your list?

Uh, Heart of Darkness.

Heart of Dark...
