JAWS 3-D
FADE IN:
1 AN UNDERWATER WONDERLAND 1
Crystal green. Beautiful fish of all colors and
faces swarm happily by. A spectacular undersea garden
blooms like plants touched by springtime. A quick-
silver surface of color mirrors lush reef growth.
2 SURREALISTIC CREATURES 2
Swim, creep, crawl, stalk, hide in their endless
quest to survive.
3 FISH 3
A beautiful aquarium of peace and tranquility.
4 TERROR 4
The fish suddenly explode in panic, darting in all
different directions, swimming instinctively for
their threatened lives.
5 GROUPER 5
300 pounds. Awesome and ugly, swimming away as fast
as it can go.
6 ANOTHER ANGLE - GROUPER 6
As we come closer on it.
Closer.
It glances back, eyes wide with fear of impending death.
It reverses course, ATTACKING CAMERA, and the grouper
gets
7 TORN IN HALF 7
Shredded by some unseen monster. There's a violent
THRASHING SOUND and clouding of the ocean, then quiet
again as chunks of tissue float in the bloody brine.
8 GROUPER'S HEAD 8
Drifts along, torn from its body. Bug eyes open wide
in death.
9 CAMERA 9
Swoops around, moving quickly again. On the surface,
high above, something attracts its attention. It goes
to investigate.
10 UNDERWATER SHOT OF WATER SKIERS 10
Speeding over the surface.
11 CAMERA 11
Let's now refer to it as SHARK, even though we do not
see it. It starts after the skiers.
CUT TO:
12 WATER SKIERS 12
Tanned, healthy, all-American boys and girls. They
come SHOOTING across the water in formation.
13 SHARK POV 13
Follows after them, curious as to what's going on.
14 SKIERS 14
Start forming a PYRAMID, climbing up onto each other.
One of the girls is KELLY. She's blonde and adorable
and is climbing onto TOD's broad shoulders.
TOD
The space shuttle has landed!
KELLY
Hold still, damn it!
TOD
What're you doing later?
KELLY
Taking my boyfriend to the
airport.
TOD
(smiling)
I thought I was your boyfriend.
15 SHARK POV 15
Following along, piqued.
16 SKIERS 16
The pyramid is formed. The COACH in one of the speed-
boats speaks through his bullhorn.
COACH
Looking good, kids. Real good.
That's the way. Keep it nice
and tight.
TOD
Keep it nice and tight, Kelly.
KELLY
(giggling)
I don't talk that way.
TOD
Remember, skiers stay up longer.
KELLY
Shut up, Tod! Be serious!
TOD
I am serious.
17 SHARK POV 17
As it follows the skiers' wake...
CUT TO:
18 INT. PRESS TENT - ARNOLD CALVIN 18
Slick corporate vice president. Sea Kingdom is his
baby. He points to a large SCALE MODEL of the park as
he talks to the crowd of press people and V.I.P.'s.
CALVIN
Two years in the making, at a
cost of seven million dollars,
our new Under the Sea Kingdom
is an exploration of earth's
inner space, capturing the
excitement and adventure of man
beneath the sea. No other
amusement park offer exhibits
like...
(points)
... Monsters of the Deep fun
tunnel, with giant squids, manta
rays, and moray eels.
(points)
We've added to the fantasy of lost
underwater treasure ships for
kiddies, sunk in...
(points)
... a reproduction of incredible
coral reefs and caves where we've
imported thousands of rare
beautiful tropical fish...
(points)
And in this enclosed exhibit is
Shark Encounter, where moving
walkways take you safely through
shark-infested waters.
A pretty woman REPORTER has a question.
REPORTER
What kind of sharks, Mister
Calvin?
CALVIN
Doctor Allen is our Marine
Biologist and Mammalogist,
formerly in charge of the state's
Conservation Marine Laboratory.
I think she can answer better
than I.
They all turn to
19 KATHRYN 19
Dark hair, mid-twenties. The brain matches the beauty.
She is far more comfortable in the company of her
dolphins.
KATHRYN
Domesticated sharks, mostly.
Mako. Tiger. Nurse. Sand.
REPORTER
Don't they attack each other?
KATHRYN
Contrary to popular belief, when
sharks are well fed, they will
not hunt.
CALVIN
(smiling)
And we keep them well fed, so
be kind what you say about us,
or...
They all chuckle. Except Kathryn.
REPORTER
You don't have a Great White.
KATHRYN
No... And I really do have to
get back to my own mammals, so,
if you'll excuse me, please.
CALVIN
Yes, of course. Thank you for
stopping by, Doctor.
Kathryn gets out of there.
REPORTER
It seems what you've created
here is a combination Art
Nouveau and Jules Verne.
CALVIN
Exactly.
CUT TO:
20 WATER SKIERS 20
Up in their pyramid formation. The Coach gives them
praise through his bullhorn.
COACH
Great, gang. Beautiful! Making
me proud of you.
21 KELLY 21
Fighting for her balance, her legs are wobbly.
KELLY
Watch it, I'm gonna fall. I'm
gonna go!
TOD
Balance, Kelly. Bal-lance!
JILL
No, Kelly. Not now!
TOD
Lean back!
KELLY
Ahhhhh!
BILL
You fall, I'll kill you. I
swear I'll drown you.
KELLY
Oh, God. I can't...
The Coach doesn't know what's going on.
COACH (V.O.)
Now tomorrow, there's gonna be
this great big banner that we
break through here -- so now
isn't the time to fall, Kelly.
That's all Kelly needed to hear.
KELLY
Ahh... ahhh... ohhhh...
SKIERS
NO!
TIMBER!
Kelly falls, sending the entire pyramid pitching into
the water.
TOD
Aw... shit!
22 SHARK POV 22
Up ahead, shadows thrashing through the water. The
shark rises to see what's going on.
23 SKIERS IN WATER 23
Start reassembling as the speedboat idles, Evinrude
RUMBLING. The Coach barks at them through the
bullhorn.
COACH
What the hell was that all about?
Kelly!
The skiers grab hold of their lines, looking at Kelly.
KELLY
(guiltily)
Sorry, guys.
STEVE
... She did it again.
COACH
Concentrate out there! We can't
have mistakes tomorrow!
They're about ready to go again. The boat starts to
pull away.
24 SKIERS 24
In their starting positions. They come RISING out of
the water as
25 SHARK 25
Comes trailing in their wake, just seconds behind. We
see the tip of a giant triangular FIN cutting through
the water, following them. The fin is like a monstrous
gray sail. Up ahead, we see a giant set of
26 GATES 26
Start closing, coming down.
27 SHARK POV 27
It swims under the closing, heavy wire mesh gates.
Gonna be a tight squeeze.
WHAM-THUMP
There's a shuddering vibration as the gate hits on
something BIG. The shark swims away as the gate
CLANGS.
CUT TO:
28 DAISY AND BOBBY DOLPHIN 28
Going through their "paces." Kathryn is in the water
with them. She blows a whistle and uses hand signals,
giving affectionate rewards.
KATHRYN
(to dolphins)
What, Daisy? What do you want?
Tell me.
The dolphin "talks" back to her.
KATHRYN
(to other dolphin)
Come here, Bobby. Come on, give
me a kiss.
The dolphin gives her (and audience) a big wet kiss.
KATHRYN
Thank you.
MIKE (O.S)
Want another one?
She turns to him and smiles.
KATHRYN
Sure do.
(to dolphin)
Kiss me again, Bobby.
29 MIKE AND KATHRYN 29
Laughing. Take each other in their arms. A soft,
tender kiss, which the dolphins and penguin appreciate.
MICHAEL BRODY is late twenties. Tan and fit. Head
engineer.
KATHRYN
Well, not much longer to go.
MIKE
What is it, 97 days?
KATHRYN
(laughing)
Till this opens, not our wedding.
MIKE
Hope I make it through both.
KATHRYN
(kissing him)
You will. I'll see to it.
Mike points to the nervous, chittering dolphins.
MIKE
Look, Kathryn. They're jealous.
KATHRYN
They're acting very strange
suddenly.
MIKE
Pre-opening jitters.
KATHRYN
I guess.
Mike's BEEPER goes off. He sighs and speaks into it.
MIKE
Brody here.
VOICE
Mike, we're having a problem with
the gate.
CUT TO:
30 INT. CONTROL ROOM 30
This is Mission Control underwater. All the inner
workings of Sea Kingdom are monitored down here. The
two OPERATORS watch the dials and gauges and 20 TV
screens.
MIKE (V.O.)
What kind of trouble?
OPERATOR
It's not closing, Mike.
MIKE (V.O.)
That's impossible.
OPERATOR
I know. But we show it's not
closing.
MIKE (V.O.)
Okay, okay... We'll get someone
on it.
CUT BACK TO:
31 MIKE AND KATHRYN 31
MIKE
Damn it. I can't understand!
(to her)
I gotta go, hon.
KATHRYN
Don't forget you have your
brother.
MIKE
Yeah.
KATHRYN
See you later.
They kiss and Mike turns at a RUMBLING SOUND.
32 CRANE 32
Comes lumbering towards the water's edge. Seated
high on the boom with a camera is
33 PHILIP HUTTON 33
A very refined, well-educated, aristocratic Englishman,
30. IKE directs the crane and SHELLY drives. If you
didn't know better, you might suspect there's something
between the three of them.
PHILIP
Bring the crane over. Come down.
Easy down.
MIKE
Hey.
Mike comes over to them.
MIKE
Hutton, how the hell did you get
my crane?
PHILIP
Calvin said it was all right.
MIKE
Yeah, well I didn't!
PHILIP
Well, we're not going to hurt it,
old boy.
(to Kathryn)
I say, love, is Flipper ready to
go?
KATHRYN
Go where?
PHILIP
On the telly. We're to film him
for the evening news.
KATHRYN
Nobody told me.
PHILIP
I just did. Can you make them
do tricks?
KATHRYN
They're not tricks. They're
behavior patterns.
PHILIP
Fine. Have them do some.
KATHRYN
I don't know. They're nervous
and skittish right now.
PHILIP
Yes, aren't we all.
Kathryn turns in disgust, looking at Michael.
KATHRYN
That macho pompous English --
MIKE
Don't let him get you. Just
continue your patterns and
pretend he's not around.
KATHRYN
My imagination isn't that good.
MIKE
Honey, I gotta go.
KATHRYN
Okay, bye.
Another soft kiss.
As Mike passes Philip, he slaps the crane and calls
up to Philip who's readying his camera.
MIKE
Make sure you put this back.
PHILIP
Aww, can't I keep it?
Mike stares at him. Takes an angry beat. Philip
still looking into the lens. Mike leaves.
Philip calls to Kathryn.
PHILIP
Okay now. Have Flipper flip or
something.
KATHRYN
Make this quick!
She turns to her dolphins.
CUT TO:
34 WATER SKIERS 34
They're up in the pyramid once again, riding smooth.
All but Kelly.
KELLY
Ahhh, ahhh...
TOD
Now what?
KELLY
Gotta sneeze.
TOD
Don't you dare.
KELLY
Can't help it... ahh...
JILL
No, Kelly! We're almost in!
KELLY
Ahhhh...
35 UNDERWATER - SHARK POV 35
Staying right below the skiers. It starts to rise.
36 EXT. PRESS TENT 36
The media munch on hors d'oeuvres and champagne.
From their vantage point, Calvin points out the
skiers for them.
CALVIN
In addition to the aerobatics
that our skiers are performing,
they'll be doing the comedy ski
show "The Hatfields and McCoys,"
choreographed by world-famous
skier Janet Turner.
CUT TO:
37 SKIERS 37
Coming onto shore now. The Coach speaks to them
through the horn.
COACH
Beautiful. Hold it, hold it...
Kelly's hanging on, eyes tearing, mouth ready to
explode in a sneeze.
COACH
Get ready. Here we go now...
Make me proud of you.
SKIER
Release.
They let go of their ropes and come out of the pyramid,
gliding in to shore as Kelly lets out a huge SNEEZE
and stumbles onto shore.
TOD
God bless you.
38 UNDERWATER - SHARK 38
Swoops in close, then turns and heads back out. No
fun here.
CUT TO:
39 MIKE IN ZODIAC BOAT 39
Comes speeding up to a WORKBOAT deck. Mike does a
hot dog 180-degree spin through the water and eases up
to the workboat where SINGER holds a crackling walkie-
talkie.
MIKE
What happened?
SINGER
I don't know. It's off the track.
MIKE
Give me the walkie.
Singer does. Mike talks into it.
MIKE
Overman!
OVERMAN'S VOICE
We get time and a half for this?
MIKE
No, Overman.
OVERMAN'S VOICE
Then we'll be done in a minute.
Singer leans into the walkie-talkie.
SINGER
Let's go, guys. I got a date
tonight.
OVERMAN'S VOICE
She have a friend?
MIKE
Yeah, but you don't. Get to work.
CUT TO:
40 UNDERWATER - DIVERS 40
OVERMAN and HARRIS. They are arc-welding on the GATE.
The sparks flash brilliantly through the water. They
replace a pin, HAMMERING it in place.
CUT TO:
41 MIKE IN HIS BOAT 41
MIKE
Stay on top of it.
SINGER
Right.
CUT TO:
42 KATHRYN POPPING OUT OF WATER 42
She calls to Philip, who holds his camera but isn't
filming the background. The dolphins dart about.
KATHRYN
It's no use. They won't come
into the lagoon.
PHILIP
Well then, can you have them jump
to the camera over here?
KATHRYN
Wait a minute. These aren't
kangaroos, Mr. Hutton. They're
dolphins.
PHILIP
I thought they were clever.
KATHRYN
I can have them walk backwards.
PHILIP
No, no. That won't do.
KATHRYN
I told you, something's upset
them.
PHILIP
Well, I have to get this into the
networks. If you can't do it,
you can't do it, that's all.
KATHRYN
I'm sorry.
PHILIP
Well, we'll just try again, dear.
Keep working on it. Maybe you'll
get it one of these years.
(to his men)
Pack up, boys. Flipper's a flop.
43 KATHRYN 43
Watches with scorn as the start the crane up and
leave. Kathryn goes into the water, a look of
determination.
44 KATHRYN IN WATER 44
Stands to her knees, BLOWING a whistle and SLAPPING
the water hard.
45 BOBBY and DAISY 45
Look at her and respond in a cute but frustrating way.
KATHRYN
No! That is wrong! What is the
matter with you?
Again, she blows the whistle and slaps the water three
times as
46 MIKE PULLS UP 46
In his Zodiac.
MIKE
(smiling)
You called, Doctor?
KATHRYN
Everything's going wrong. I'm
having more trouble with Bobby
than I ever have before. I can't
get him to respond.
MIKE
How come?
KATHRYN
I don't know. I can't understand
it. Something's bothering them.
MIKE
And what else is bothering you?
KATHRYN
... Hutton. He really pisses me
off.
MIKE
Yeah, you really don't like him.
KATHRYN
I don't like what he does.
MIKE
It's his work.
KATHRYN
He doesn't need the money. He
inherited a fortune. He kills
for kicks. TV battles between
non-predator fish and divers.
The diver always wins.
MIKE
Okay, forget him now. I'm going
to pick up Sean. Take a ride?
KATHRYN
I can't leave now. We taking
Sean out?
MIKE
Sure. Want to try that new
Italian place?
KATHRYN
No, you don't need all that
starch. You're getting too fat.
MIKE
Not enough loving.
KATHRYN
Get out of here!
She playfully splashes water at him. He yells and
heads to shore.
MIKE
We'll have sushi.
She smiles and shakes her head.
CUT TO:
47 WORKBOAT DECK 47
As Overman and Harris pull themselves out of the water.
They hand Singer the equipment and start getting out
of their tanks.
OVERMAN
It's Miller time!
HARRIS
You buying?
OVERMAN
Sure am.
HARRIS
(to Singer)
Coming with us? Overman's buying.
SINGER
No, I'll take the money instead.
Overman looks around the deck.
OVERMAN
You see the three-quarter socket?
HARRIS
Yeah. Down there.
OVERMAN
Shit.
SINGER
... Way to go, guys.
OVERMAN
You two go ahead. I'll meet you
at Captain Kidd's.
SINGER
Okay.
Singer and Harris put the equipment into the boat as
Overman puts his mask back on.
48 OVERMAN 48
Dives back into the water.
49 UNDERWATER - OVERMAN 49
The diver enjoys this freedom; not encumbered with
weights and tanks, he swipes at passing fish as he
descends into the deep. But suddenly, all the fish
that were curiously inspecting him turn and scatter.
50 ANOTHER ANGLE - OVERMAN 50
Looks about, apprehensive eyes peering through his
mask. He looks again and continues diving.
51 SHARK'S POV - OVERMAN 51
As we come MOVING IN on him from behind. Overman
turns. His face freezes in a horrifying SCREAM of
terror.
52 OVERMAN 52
As a MONSTROUS unseen force plows into him, and there
is a vicious thrashing and explosion of water.
CUT TO:
53 727 ON APPROACH 53
It comes in like a giant bird, flaps down out, gear
down. It lands in our laps and continues past.
54 INT. AIRPORT 54
Arriving passenger SEAN BRODY moves with the others.
Sean is a junior in college. Athletic, good looking,
he looks around and sees his brother rushing up to him.
MIKE (O.S.)
Sean!
55 MIKE AND SEAN 55
A warm, macho, brotherly hugging and punching exchange.
MIKE
Hey, what's goin' on, little
brother!
SEAN
Damn! You sonuvabitch! Look at
you!
MIKE
Look great, don't I?
SEAN
Got a job for me?
MIKE
Yeah, we'll find something for
you. Shoveling shark shit or
something.
SEAN
(apprehensive)
Sharks???
MIKE
(reassuringly)
In a restaurant. You sit there
and they swim around you.
SEAN
... I'll go to McDonalds.
56 WITH THEM ON THE TRAM 56
MIKE
How'd you do in school?
SEAN
Great. I got one B, two C's,
and eight incompletes.
MIKE
Hey, I'm proud of you, kid.
SEAN
So was Dad.
He shows Mike a
57 INSERT - POLAROID PHOTOGRAPH OF SHERIFF BRODY 57
Grimacing as usual, his hair G.I. crewcut.
SEAN (V.O.)
Took it this morning.
MIKE (V.O.)
He needs a haircut.
SEAN (V.O.)
Yeah, right.
58 MIKE AND SEAN 58
MIKE
How is he? Still fighting crime?
SEAN
Last week he broke up a major
counterfeiting ring. Gang of
kids were using slugs in the
Pac-Man games.
MIKE
(laughing)
Big bust! He confiscate their
water pistols?
SEAN
Booked them all at Baskin-
Robbins.
MIKE
(appreciating)
That's Dad...
Mike throws an arm around Sean and hugs him.
MIKE
He taught us good, though, didn't
he, Sean? We were lucky to grow
up the way we did.
SEAN
Who's grown up?
MIKE
Gee, it's good to see you!
SEAN
I want to see Kathryn.
MIKE
Just find your own. Like Dad
says, there's plenty of fish in
the sea.
They laugh.
CUT TO:
59 INT. AIRPORT - KELLY 59
Moving through the terminal, licking an ice cream
cone, she sees Mike and Sean and comes running over.
KELLY
Mike!
Mike and Sean stop.
KELLY
Give me a ride?
MIKE
Sure.
KELLY
'Preciate it.
Mike's BEEPER gives off a faint signal.
MIKE
(harassed)
What do they want now...?
He looks around for a phone.
MIKE
Kelly, this is my brother Sean.
Don't let him get lost.
Mike heads for the phones in the b.g. as Sean and
Kelly study each other, liking what they see.
KELLY
So, you just get here?
SEAN
Yeah, from Boston.
KELLY
I was seeing this guy off. He
flew in from Dallas. Wants to
marry me. He's okay, but Texans
are so possessive.
SEAN
Massachussettans aren't.
KELLY
'Course they're also so rich.
SEAN
... Massachussettans aren't.
KELLY
How long you staying?
SEAN
I don't know, it depends.
KELLY
You like Florida?
Sean looks at her, in her shorts and tank top.
SEAN
I haven't seen that much, but
so far it looks great.
KELLY
(suggestively)
Well, wait till you see the rest.
They smile at each other.
60 MIKE ON PHONE 60
Whatever he's hearing isn't good.
61 SEAN AND KELLY 61
The romance continues to build.
KELLY
You gonna work at The Kingdom?
SEAN
Depends on big brother.
KELLY
I'm a water-skier.
SEAN
Are you really?
KELLY
Sure am.
SEAN
That's too bad. I don't like
water. I don't like being around
in. I never go in it.
KELLY
How come?
SEAN
Goes back to when I was a kid.
Mike's okay, he's gotten over
his fears, but I haven't. I
can't even drink it.
Mike comes over in a hurry.
MIKE
Come on, let's go.
SEAN
Something wrong?
MIKE
You know Overman?
KELLY
Musclehead?
MIKE
He's missing.
KELLY
Hope with none of my girl friends.
CUT TO:
62 EXT. AIRPORT - DAY 62
Mike and Sean and Kelly walk to the parking lot.
MIKE
Kelly, could you look after Sean
for a while? Show him around for
me?
KELLY
Sure. No problem.
MIKE
Thanks.
SEAN
Yeah, thanks.
The brothers wink at each other.
CUT TO:
63 KATHRYN RIDING WHALE 63
She takes it through a series of moves, not noticing
Mike and Sean and Kelly pull up in the Blazer.
SEAN
Hi-yo-Silver!
64 KATHRYN 64
Sees them and leaps off the whale.
KATHRYN
Sean!
She hops out of the tank and warmly embraces Sean.
KATHRYN
MMMM. It's good to see you again.
SEAN
(meaning Mike)
You really gonna marry this guy?
KATHRYN
Well, I can't wait for you
forever.
SEAN
Why not? Younger guys are in.
MIKE
Okay, you two, have a good life
without me. I gotta go.
SEAN
Don't hurry back.
Mike leaves. Kelly turns to Kathryn.
KELLY
Doctor Allen, you think I could
ride the whale sometime?
KATHRYN
Sure, Kelly.
KELLY
That'd be great. I was a seal
once, in another life, and
whales were always my closest
friends.
They look at her. Uh-huh.
CUT TO:
65 EXT. BREAKWATER - LATER 65
Mike's there with Harris and Calvin.
MIKE
Why didn't you stay with him?
You never let a diver go down
alone!
HARRIS
We were done, Mike. He left a
piece of equipment down there and
went back for it.
CALVIN
And hasn't been seen since.
HARRIS
I waited for him. When he didn't
show, I went back. There's no
sign of him. His gear's still
on deck. I went in looking for
him. All I found was this.
We see the missing three-quarter socket wrench.
MIKE
I don't understand. Overman's
too good a diver to disappear.
CALVIN
Have you checked the bars? The
guy's irresponsible; he's done
this before.
HARRIS
Yes, Mr. Calvin. We've called
all over. Nobody's seen him
and his truck's still here.
CALVIN
I want him found. He could be
in the bars, he could be shacking
up. He could be out to sea
MIKE
I'll need more men to look.
CALVIN
Can't help you, Mike. Don't have
the manpower.
MIKE
We're going to have to cover the
entire lagoon.
CALVIN
I know, but you're just going to
have to find another way. So you
better start.
Calvin leaves.
CUT TO:
66 SUBMARINE AT DOCK 66
A small two-seater, bobbing on the surface near the
dolphin pen. Kathryn turns to RUTH, one of her
assistants.
KATHRYN
I think they'll come out now.
RUTH
They still seem nervous.
KATHRYN
I know.
Mike turns to Kathryn.
MIKE
They're coming with us?
KATHRYN
We play hide and seek all the
time. They find a lot of things.
Mike looks at the tiny sub.
MIKE
(skeptically)
Where's the rubber band?
KATHRYN
Look, Michael... you don't have
to come.
MIKE
I don't have a choice.
She understands.
KATHRYN
Well, let's go then.
They ease into the sub.
MIKE
How many coupons is this ride?
67 INT. SUB 67
He squeezes into the front seat. She's behind him.
MIKE
What do I do now?
KATHRYN
Take a deep breath and hold it.
MIKE
That's cute, Kathryn. Real cute.
KATHRYN
(smiling)
Just put your mask on.
He inserts his respirator while she starts the engine.
She puts her mask on.
KATHRYN
Control, we're preparing to leave
the dock now with the sub.
CUT TO:
68 INT. CONTROL ROOM 68
One of the CONTROLLERS responds.
CONTROLLER
Roger. We'll keep an eye out
for you.
CUT TO:
69 INT. SUB 69
Kathryn pulls the canopy CLOSED. It shuts with a
BANG. The sub starts filling with water.
70 MIKE 70
Watching through his mask as the water surrounds him.
The claustrophobia sets in.
CUT TO:
71 SUB 71
Eases away from the dock and starts its journey,
sinking from view.
72 UNDERWATER - SUB 72
Drifts down into the lagoon, spotlight on, scanning
the beautiful underwater garden.
73 CAMERA - POV 73
Something is FOLLOWING IT.
74 INT. SUB 74
Mike looks very apprehensive, and Kathryn knows it.
He holds on tight.
KATHRYN
Honey... you all right?
MIKE
No.
KATHRYN
Are you scared?
MIKE
Yes.
They settle into the water.
SUDDENLY, from NO PLACE
75 BOBBY AND DAISY DOLPHIN 75
Come SWOOPING INTO IT, their faces at the sub's
window, scaring the shit out of Mike.
MIKE
(reacting)
Damn it!
KATHRYN
(smiling up)
Hi, baby.
MIKE
Baby goddamn scared me to death!
KATHRYN
They just wanted to say hello.
MIKE
(low, to himself)
... Friggin' fish.
He takes a deep breath and holds on.
MIKE
Let's head to the gate and work
our way back.
KATHRYN
That's a lot of ground to cover.
MIKE
I know, I built it. I've just
never seen it this way.
CUT TO:
76 WALRUS EXHIBIT 76
Sean and Kelly are peering into the tank. A big old,
whiskery WALRUS shoots up, SPITTING water on them.
The kids get a bath.
77 SEAN AND KELLY 77
Dripping wet, laughing. So is the walrus.
SEAN
Well, I needed a cold shower.
KELLY
Come on! Check this out!
Kelly takes Sean's hand, and they skip away.
CUT TO:
78 EXT. SUB - SERIES OF SHOTS 78
Moves through an underwater coral forest with an unlit
glass TUNNEL extending through it. The dolphins
follow.
79 SUB - HEAD-ON 79
A slow-moving fish, sneaking past the fake cave
openings. The spotlight searches, lighting the
shades of pink, white, and lavender formations.
80 MIKE AND KATHRYN 80
Eyes searching as she turns the spotlight.
KATHRYN
It's romantic down here.
MIKE
Oh, yeah. Very.
KATHRYN
You know, on our honeymoon, we
should go scuba diving.
MIKE
Let's not talk about that now,
okay?
81 SPANISH GALLEON 81
Wrecked in 1982, it looks like it's been down here
for centuries. Masts broken, cannons rusting, wood
eaten away. The sub circles it.
82 PANNING GALLEON 82
The sub comes in low. Nothing there, other than
"priceless gold and treasure." The sub moves in
close as
83 DOLPHINS POP OUT 83
Frightening both of them.
KATHRYN
Now I'm getting paranoid!
CUT TO:
84 INT. CONTROL ROOM 84
Underwater, with enormous windows overlooking the
lagoon. On one entire wall is a schematic showing the
electrical system of Sea Kingdom, lights flickering on
it. There are also banks of instrument panels and TV
monitor screens. In the b.g. is a lock which connects
the lagoon with the control room. A crew of men and a
woman are working in the room. Outside, the submarine
appears.
A man at one of the control panels throws a switch
activating radio communication between the control
room and the sub as a BUZZER sounds.
WOMAN
Any luck?
MIKE'S VOICE
Not yet.
WOMAN
We haven't seen anything either.
Not a sign of him.
MIKE'S VOICE
Let us know.
CUT TO:
85 STADIUM STANDS 85
Sean and Kelly sit in the top row now. They're the only
ones there.
SEAN
This is where to be. High and
dry.
KELLY
And alone.
They kiss.
CUT TO:
86 INT. SUB 86
Kathryn works the controls, but the sub starts SINKING!
MIKE
(apprehensive)
What's wrong?
KATHRYN
Nothing.
She's flicking all the switches. The sub hits the
bottom hard. He watches her try the controls again.
MIKE
... If nothing's wrong, why are
we stopping here?
KATHRYN
... Electrical connection
malfunctioning.
MIKE
You sound like Houston Mission
Control. What the hell does it
mean?
KATHRYN
That we swim.
MIKE
(aghast)
Swim where? Out there? Oh, no,
forget it, not me! You go, I'm
staying.
KATHRYN
Michael, the sub's dead.
MIKE
Yeah, and so will I be if I start
swimming in that blackass jungle.
KATHRYN
Okay, stay. We'll come back for
you.
She gets ready to leave.
MIKE
Where are you going?
KATHRYN
Up.
MIKE
And leave me down here???
KATHRYN
(getting impatient)
Make up your mind.
MIKE
What mind? If I had a mind, I'd
never have let you talk me into
this.
KATHRYN
I talked you into this?
MIKE
I'd have fallen in love with a
pilot or a mountain climber.
KATHRYN
Are you coming...?
MIKE
No, I don't want to leave now.
I'm having too good a time...
Of course I'm coming! You'd think
you're gonna leave me?
They start to evacuate.
MIKE
(continuing)
You would, wouldn't you? I'd end
up whale shit, you wouldn't care.
KATHRYN
Get your reserve bottle and let's
go.
87 EXT. SUB 87
Mike and Kathryn emerge and start swimming but the
88 DOLPHINS 88
Won't let them go into the direction they want. Bobby
and Daisy keep bumping them, refusing to let them go.
Mike is getting pissed. He pushes Bobby; Kathryn
PUNCHES Mike.
89 KATHRYN 89
Grabs Mike and points in the direction they were
heading.
90 GREAT WHITE SHARK 90
Ten feet of killer, coming at them.
91 MIKE 91
Utter fear, his eyes terrified as he stares at the
shark.
92 FLASH CUT - JAWS I 92
Young Michael Brody being yanked from the water an
instant before the Great White can eat him up.
93 MIKE, KATHRYN AND DOLPHINS 93
Mike gaping at the o.s. shark as Kathryn grabs onto
Daisy's fin and pulls her to Mike. She gestures for
him to take the fin. He doesn't respond, looks at
the shark.
94 THE WHITE 94
Coming closer, a chilling monster.
95 MIKE, KATHRYN AND DOLPHINS 95
Kathryn grabs Mike's hand and forcibly puts it on
Daisy's dorsal fin, taps Daisy. The dolphin and Mike
are gone in a flash. Looking at the shark, Kathryn
feels for Bobby's fin, taps his head. As quickly as
Mike went, she is gone from view.
96 RACE FOR SAFETY SEQUENCE 96
Shots alternating between the dolphins, their speed
reduced by the weight of pulling Mike and Kathryn, and
the Great White in pursuit of them, getting closer and
closer.
97 EXT. DOLPHIN PEN GATE 97
The dolphins carry Mike and Kathryn through the narrow
opening. The instant they are inside, the Great White
hurtles into FRAME and BANGS against the gate sides,
too big to get through.
98 MIKE AND KATHRYN SURFACE 98
Scramble for dear life out of the water, rolling onto
the dock. They lie there, gasping, chests heaving.
Mike slides over to Kathryn.
KATHRYN
You all right?
MIKE
I think so. I'm not sure...
Are you?
KATHRYN
I'm okay.
He holds her close. She's trembling.
KATHRYN
Michael...
MIKE
It's all right, baby. We're
safe...
99 DAISY AND BOBBY DOLPHIN 99
Break the surface, chatting away. Mike and Kathryn
look at them and smile.
MIKE
Thanks, guys.
The dolphins almost answer "that's okay, but watch it
next time." Mike helps Kathryn to her feet, and they
walk away, arms around each other.
KATHRYN
How the hell did it get in here?
MIKE
God, they're horrible. I hate
them. Did you see its eyes? How
black they are? The look in them?
KATHRYN
Don't think about it. It's over.
MIKE
It's never over... Here comes
another six years of bad dreams.
100 DOLPHINS 100
Watch them walk away, then DIVE back into the water.

102 EXT. FLORIDA FESTIVAL TENT - SUNSET 102
Calvin's called an emergency meeting. Mike, Kathryn,
Philip. Calvin's eating his dinner through SCENE.
Ike and Shelly stand in b.g. There's a heated
discussion.
CALVIN
What you're saying is we have a
Great White shark in the lagoon.
MIKE
And a missing man.
PHILIP
Unhappy combination. Most likely
one's inside the other.
KATHRYN
Sharks are man-biters, Mister
Hutton. Not man-eaters --
PHILIP
(cutting her off)
That's a load of codswopple. A
Great White doesn't fear man. It
doesn't fear beast. It's an orgy
of food and blood.
KATHRYN
I think we can capture it. I'd
like to try.
PHILIP
That's preposterous!
CALVIN
Go on, Doctor.
KATHRYN
No one's ever caught a Great White
except indirectly in fishing nets.
I want to dart it and keep it
alive.
CALVIN
It would make a marvelous
attraction; the only Great
White in captivity.
KATHRYN
(confidently)
I can get it.
PHILIP
You can get killed!
KATHRYN
I've handled sharks before.
Bigger than this one.
PHILIP
Calvin, let me go down there
and kill the bastard.
KATHRYN
No!
PHILIP
(continuing to Calvin)
It'll chop up half a million
dollars of your tropical fish
in two minutes.
KATHRYN
Calvin, I insist I be allowed
to capture it!
PHILIP
Three hundred million years of
evolution have created the
greatest butcher the world's
ever known.
KATHRYN
It's one of the world's greatest
creatures.
PHILIP
A shark could have a hundred
embryos in its sack. You know
how many are born? Maybe five.
They eat each other before birth!
They're born killers!
KATHRYN
The only Great White in captivity,
Calvin. All those people
standing in line...
CALVIN
All right, Kathryn. Go ahead
and get it.
KATHRYN
I will.
PHILIP
Well, then I'm going to film it.
KATHRYN
Like hell!
PHILIP
(to Calvin)
Make a lovely item for "Good
Morning, America"
CALVIN
Absolutely. Good idea.
KATHRYN
(to Calvin)
With those camera lights and...
CALVIN
(interrupting)
He's going with you, Doctor.
KATHRYN
No, it will be too much
distraction. I don't want that
many people in the water. I'll
go in, give it a belly shot, and
get out.
CALVIN
And Philip will be there to film
it. Now that's the end of it!
Kathryn bites her lip, realizing. She turns to Calvin.
KATHRYN
I want that shark alive.
PHILIP
So do I, love.
CALVIN
Well, you'd better get started!
He walks away. Kathryn stares at Philip, who smiles
and moves off with his men. Mike comes up to Kathryn.
MIKE
You're going down there again?
KATHRYN
Yes.
MIKE
After what happened to us?
KATHRYN
I know I can capture it.
MIKE
Kathryn, you're crazy. Really
crazy. A suicidal maniac.

Are preparing a large syringe.
RUTH
Twelve cc's
BRIAN
That should do it.
105 OVER TO PHILIP AND SHELLY 105
Preparing their cameras.
PHILIP
We'll shoot this with an .18,
boys.
SHELLY
That bugger moves fast.
PHILIP
Give me a 400-foot magazine; we
may be down there for a while.
SHELLY
(smiling)
I wouldn't mind going down with
her.
PHILIP
She is a lovely bit of crumpet
at that.
106 OVER TO MIKE 106
Welding some kind of object. Ike comes up to him.
Ike's in his diving suit.
IKE
Aren't you suiting up, mate?
MIKE
No.
IKE
Well, don't worry about your
fiancee. We'll watch over her.
MIKE
She can take care of herself.
She doesn't need you.
IKE
Never know down there. Helps
to have a friend, sometimes.
MIKE
How many sharks have you killed?
IKE
Me? I don't know. Twenty,
thirty. I love them, think
they're the greatest.
He walks away. Mike looks out at the water, staring
at it.
107 FLASH - FROM JAWS I 107
Young Mike Brody sees the lifeguard taken by the shark.
108 BACK TO MIKE 108
He comes out of it in a gasping sweat.
KATHRYN (V.O.)
Well, how do I look?
He turns.
MIKE
What?
109 KATHRYN 109
Wears an iron CHAIN LINK SUIT over her diving suit.
She has a light-hearted nervousness.
KATHRYN
Do you like it?
She models it for him.
MIKE
Oh, yeah. Really nice. Who's
your designer? Sassoon Shark?
KATHRYN
I got it on sale.
(touches links)
A real steel.
MIKE
Here.
KATHRYN
What's that?
MIKE
Bracelets.
It's what he's been welding. Forearm protectors
which he places on her.
KATHRYN
Fine piece of engineering.
MIKE
Should protect you a little, from
the compression. If that thing
gets ahold of you.
KATHRYN
Thank you.
She kisses him. He takes her in his arms.
MIKE
Kathryn...
KATHRYN
Yes?
He looks at her. Wants to tell her to take that damn
suit off. To get off this boat and forget the fucking
shark. To go home with him, to bed.
MIKE
... I love you.
She smiles.
KATHRYN
Love you too.
Mike nods and takes his beeper.
MIKE
Okay, hit it.

Mike and Kathryn watch the lights come on.
MIKE
Wouldn't this whole thing be a
little safer in the daytime?
KATHRYN
It's easier to lure sharks at
night.
MIKE
Why? 'Cause they're hungrier?
PHILIP (V.O.)
They're always hungry. They
eat anything.
Philip enters. He's wearing a bright orange diving
suit.
PHILIP
(continuing; touches
her suit)
... even steel.
Mike looks again at her protective suit. She looks
at Philip.
KATHRYN
You look like an orange worm.
PHILIP
Shark bait. Draws them over for
closeups.
KATHRYN
What in hell is that?
She points to a
HAND GRENADE
Strapped on his waist, right by his large knife.
PHILIP
Lunch for Whitey. Something to
munch on in case things get
dicey.
KATHRYN
We're taking that shark alive!
PHILIP
Let's hope he knows that.
KATHRYN
I know it and I will not go down
into this lagoon as long as you
carry that!
PHILIP
Why?
KATHRYN
Because I don't trust you, that's
why.
MIKE
You set that thing off down there,
you don't know what will happen.
PHILIP
Precisely.
KATHRYN
I insist you get rid of that bomb.
PHILIP
Afraid I can't do that.
KATHRYN
You're supposed to film it, not
turn it to hash!
PHILIP
Look, Doctor, this isn't one of
your pet porpoises we're after.
It's a torpedo of muscle.
Murderous expertise! I've seen
bleeding sharks try to eat
themselves! Don't be so
concerned about them. Worry
about yourself.
He turns to go.
MIKE
Hutton!
He stops. Turns.
MIKE
You heard the lady. Take it off.
Tense pause. Philip stares at Mike. At Kathryn.
Then his hand moves to the grenade. He unclips it,
holds it in his hand, and
FLINGS IT TO MIKE
Who catches it. Philip walks away, smirking. Mike
makes a move after him, but Kathryn stops him.

No, you're not.
Mike pulls her face mask down and "kisses" her over

and dives, taking us
118 UNDERWATER 118
Kathryn and Philip and Ike all start kicking down.
CUT TO:
119 MIKE ON WORKBOAT 119
Watches the bubbles break the surface. He turns to
Shelly.
MIKE
This is ridiculous. We should
blow the mother's head off.
SHELLY
Couldn't agree more.
CUT TO:
120 UNDERWATER 120
As the three kick downward. Philip and Ike prepare
to film. Kathryn notices Philip checking his power-
head and reacts sharply. He notices and gives her a
mocking salute, making her angrier yet. Turning, she
starts toward the circling shark.
121 THE SHARK SEQUENCE 121
Intercutting between Kathryn, Philip and Ike and, on
the deck of the workboat, Mike and Shelly. Kathryn
moves toward the shark until it starts to circle her,
Philip and Ike beginning to film.
Her expert maneuvering is not lost on Philip, and he
watches with interest -- Mike, on the boat deck,
watches what he can with apprehension -- as Kathryn
slowly lures the shark toward her.
Suddenly, it darts in at her and she jabs the spear
at it (into the audience), causing it to veer away.
Kathryn seems surprised by this. The shark begins to
circle her again, CAMERA PANNING with her as she keeps
an eye on it. Philip and Ike keep filming, Mike keeps
watching tensely on the deck as Kathryn positions
herself, holding the spear extended, moving it back
and forth.
Abruptly, the shark darts in, moving so precipitously
that it goes all the way to Kathryn. She ducks and
the shark's jaws clamp shut on her air tanks. Philip
reacts to this and starts forward to help her as the
shark begins to shake her violently from side to side.
Letting go of the spear, she tries to hit the shark in
the eye but has no success. Philip shows up, and she
waves him off. He cannot believe her reaction but
doesn't draw his powerhead, only hitting the shark on
the head with the camera. This makes it let go of
Kathryn's tanks and back off fast. Philip shoving it
aside as it passes him, drawing his powerhead just to
be safe. The shark does not attack him though, but
retreats. Philip looks at Kathryn. She is shaken up,
but the chain-mail suit has protected her from injury.
She waves him back irritably. Shaking his head either
at her or her stupidity, he backs off to Ike,
keeping a wary eye on the shark as Kathryn kicks up to
the surface to get another spear. On deck, Mike tries
to speak to her as she grabs the spear, but she is
under again before he can say a word. Kathryn grimly
sets herself again. Seeing this, Philip casts his
eyes heavenward, as though thinking, "Dear God, the
woman's suicidal." She jabs the spear toward the
still lingering shark. Finally, after making a few
nervous passes, it goes for her. This time, she is
able to shoot the sedating spearhead into its stomach,
then kicks up toward the surface as fast as she can,
the shark starting after her.
122 SURFACE 122
As she breaks through.
KATHRYN
Michael!
Mike and Shelly rush there, reach down, and grab her
hands to haul her up. As they do, the shark comes
after her. They yank her over the railing an instant
before it lunges out of the water and almost bites
her feet off, jaws slamming shut in close shot as it
misses, its body crashing back into the water.
Kathryn looks at Mike, her face decidedly pale. She
attempts to smile.
KATHRYN
(meekly)
... I told you I'd get it.
The shark bellies up.
MIKE
I can use a shot of what he's got.
KATHRYN
... Me, too.
Her legs go watery, and she leans against the railing.
Mike embraces her.
CUT TO:
123 INT. TANK ROOM - UP ANGLE ON CEILING 123
The roof has been opened, and the shark is being
lowered into the room on the litter. CAMERA DOWNPANS

shark into the tank, Philip, Shelly, and Ike filming it.
124 MIKE AND KATHRYN 124
He is drying her off with a large towel, rubbing her
down good. She is cold and shivering.
MIKE
After this has opened, when
everything's settled down, you
and I are going away. Just the
two of us. No dolphins, no
sharks, no whales, no penguins.
Just you and me.
KATHRYN
Sounds wonderful.
MIKE
We'll go to Palm Springs, Death
Valley, Arizona desert, anyplace
where there's no water.
She kisses him and turns at a familiar SOUND.
125 DOLPHINS 125
In an adjoining tank, curiously watch the shark being
lowered. The dolphins chatter away. Kathryn tells
them:
KATHRYN (V.O.)
Don't be afraid, it's okay now.
The dolphins don't believe her. They dive for safety.
126 BACK TO MIKE AND KATHRYN 126
Smiling. She shrugs off the towel as Brian calls her.
BRIAN
We're ready for you.
KATHRYN
I have to walk him till the drug
wears off.
MIKE
You want me to stay?
KATHRYN
(kissing)
Get some sleep. And tell Sean
I'm sorry.
MIKE
(remembering)
Sean, that's right...
Mike turns to leave, accidentally crossing in front
of Philip's shot.
PHILIP
Watch it, Brody. You're ruining
the shot.
MIKE
Kind of dull in there for you,
isn't it? Why don't you throw
in another shark?
He walks out.
Kathryn hurries into the tank with Brian and Ruth.
They unfasten the shark from the litter and start to
walk it. The litter is raised back up.
RUTH
He's a young one.
KATHRYN
And big for his age.
They walk on.
CUT TO:
127 GRASSY KNOLL 127

Mike's voice comes over the park P.A. system.
MIKE (V.O.)
Sean. Sean, where are you?
KELLY
Someone's looking for you.
SEAN
That's Mike. Let him look.
He kisses her some more.
MIKE (V.O.)
Sean? You there?
Kelly gets to her feet, pulling Sean up too.
KELLY
Come on, it's getting late, and
I have an early call.
They walk off, arms around each other.
CUT TO:
128 INT. TANK ROOM - LATER 128
Ruth sleeps on a floor mat. Kathryn and Brian are
still walking the shark. Both look very tired.
KATHRYN
Why don't you take a rest, Brian?
BRIAN
I'm only walking him. You caught
him. You have to be exhausted.
KATHRYN
Go on, you're tired.
BRIAN
No, I'm fine, thanks.
They stop talking, keep walking.
PHILIP
Comes in, wearing his jogging suit.
PHILIP
How's sleeping beauty?
KATHRYN
Still sleeping.
PHILIP
Kiss him, maybe he'll turn into
a frog.
KATHRYN
(smiling)
Should be coming out of it soon.
PHILIP
Just watch it when he does.
Philip lowers himself into the water and moves to
Brian. Taps him on the shoulder.
PHILIP
May I cut in?
Brian looks over at Kathryn, who's about to say no,
then nods it's okay.
BRIAN
He's all yours.
Philip takes his place alongside the shark. He smiles
at Kathryn.
PHILIP
Could be a new dance... Walking
the Shark.
KATHRYN
(smiling back)
Thanks for helping.
PHILIP
Not at all.
KATHRYN
Why are you?
PHILIP
I like it when they wake up.
KATHRYN
So do I. But for different
reasons.
PHILIP
And I like you.
They keep walking it.
PHILIP
You were quite daring in
capturing him. Very skillful
indeed.
KATHRYN
Skillful? I missed my first shot.
PHILIP
Some miss all their shots.
KATHRYN
Somebody could have gotten hurt.
PHILIP
That's what life is, Doctor.
Full of chances to hurt yourself,
or somebody else.
KATHRYN
You're a strange man, Mr. Hutton.
PHILIP
Philip.
KATHRYN
Before, you were ready to feed
this shark a hand grenade. Now
you're helping to nurse it back
to life.
PHILIP
That's because I am the shark.
KATHRYN
We're all from the sea, Mr. Hutton.
Our destiny is linked to the fate
of the oceans. By continuing to
destroy fish, man destroys himself.
PHILIP
The grenade's just to intimidate
Whitey. He knows I have it, so
he watches out. Same is true when
I film lions, tigers, rhinos...
She studies his smile.
KATHRYN
I think that you and I are
natural enemies.
PHILIP
And here I thought I was
charming you.
The shark quivers, showing signs of waking.
PHILIP
Hello. I think his nap's over.
KATHRYN
Get ready to go.
PHILIP
Believe me, I am.
KATHRYN
(calls)
Brian, he's coming around!
They walk it a little more and
129 THE SHARK AWAKENS 129
Comes INSTANTLY back to life with an EXPLOSIVE recovery.
Kathryn and Philip leap aside to get out of there, but
the shark SLAMS Kathryn against the side of the tank,
knocking the breath out of her.
130 PHILIP INTERVENES 130
So does Brian, who comes jumping into the tank. Philip
uses his feet to keep the shark away from Kathryn, but
they both almost get CRUSHED by the body. Philip flips
her out of the tank as the shark comes lunging around
at him.
131 ANOTHER ANGLE - PHILIP 131
Gets out of there just in time, as the shark just
misses chomping his evacuating ass. Brian's out of
there safe.
132 KATHRYN AND PHILIP 132
Look down as the shark swims in rapid circles.
PHILIP
Well, Doctor. You've got your
shark.
KATHRYN
Thanks to you.
There's a near moment of tender contact between them.
Philip smiles and nods at her and leaves, doing his
best Bobby Darin.
PHILIP
(singing "Mack the
Knife")
Oh when the shark bites,
With his teeth, dear,
Scarlet billows start to spread...
She watches him with an intrigued smile.
CUT TO:
133 INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT 133
Kathryn comes quietly in. Starts undressing in the
dark. Mike softly speaks to her from the bed.
MIKE
All well in the Kingdom of the
Sea?
She smiles and sits on the bed.
KATHRYN
Finally.
MIKE
How's your patient?
KATHRYN
Recovering nicely.
MIKE
Me, too.
She falls into his arms, and they kiss.
KATHRYN
Mmmm... you smell good.
MIKE
(smiling)
You don't.
KATHRYN
It's my new perfume. Great White,
the Man-Eater.
She nibbles his ear, neck. He pulls her down to him,
they kiss passionately.
CUT TO:
134 LAGOON - NIGHT 134
All is still and quiet. A NOISE is heard from beneath
the water. A faint almost ROAR, and the water is
shaken by a giant form that sends a wave rolling to
the CAMERA. Then, whatever it was turns and returns
to the deep. The surface of the water rocks and
trembles.
CUT TO:
135 SHARK ATTACK 135
They're in a feeding frenzy. They rip, tear, chewing
on tuna, each other. Anything in the water.
PHILIP (O.S.)
Playful bastards, wouldn't you
say?
136 REVEALING 136
Philip and Ike and Shelly watching the footage on a
Moviola screen. They drink beer and watch.
IKE
Brings back such pleasant
memories.
PHILIP
Was a rather enjoyable afternoon,
wasn't it?
SHELLY
You want to show this?
PHILIP
Absolutely. The audience will
stain their drawers.
(smiles)
I did.
He walks for the door. Opens it.
137 PHILIP 137
Stands outside his EXHIBIT BOOTH, taking in the start
of a new day. There's photos and signs: PHILIP HUTTON
PRESENTS KILLERS OF THE DEEP. There's books and T-
shirts and toys too. Ike joins him outside.
IKE
Gonna be a beautiful day.
PHILIP
And a profitable one.
They smile at each other.
PHILIP
Come on, I'll buy you breakfast.
CUT TO:

dive again.
CUT TO:
140 INT. TANK - DOLPHINS 140
Activating one of the symbol controls again and again.
141 INT. CONTROL ROOM 141
Mike and BOB talk.
BOB
We've been looking all night,
Mike. I don't think he's out
there. If he drowned, I think he
went down on the bay side of the
gate and the current pulled him
out. It was pretty strong when
the men were working there.
MIKE
Did you look in the intake passage?
BOB
You can't even get in there, the
incoming flow is so strong. It
would wash the body out anyway.
MIKE
Well, I don't know. Maybe he
isn't down there. Keep checking
with everyone who knows him.
I'll be at my office.
He leaves.
CUT TO:
142 ENTRANCE TO SHARK ENCOUNTER TUNNEL 142
Mike's walking as Kathryn comes from the other side.
KATHRYN
Mike!
He turns and she skips up to him.
KATHRYN
(continuing)
They said you'd be here.
MIKE
What's up?
KATHRYN
I need more pressure in the
shark tank.
MIKE
Okay.
KATHRYN
I want to make sure the White is
getting enough flow. Would you
do that for me?
MIKE
Sure. Let's go.
She stops him.
KATHRYN
No, we'll go through here.
MIKE
... Mean through the tubes?
KATHRYN
Yes. It's faster.
MIKE
No, I'm not going through there.
KATHRYN
Michael, come on, don't be silly.
This is the quickest way. You're
not going to walk all the way
around?
MIKE
I'm not going to walk through
that shark arcade.
KATHRYN
They're not going to hurt you.
They're encased in plastic.
MIKE
I don't want to see them, Kathryn.
KATHRYN
Michael, I don't have time.
Please! It's time you dealt with
this and got over it. Now come on!
She takes his hand and leads him into the tunnel.
143 SHARK TUNNEL 143
Mike is very apprehensive as the SHARKS encroach upon
them from all angles. He can't look at them.
KATHRYN
Calvin wants me to move the White
for tomorrow.
MIKE
... He ought to put him in here.
KATHRYN
It's too soon to move him.
MIKE
So tell Calvin.
KATHRYN
I did. He wants it on exhibit.
MIKE
Well, that's why you got it.
They walk on a bit, then Mike leans against the tunnel
wall, eyes closed.
KATHRYN
Mike... you okay?
He's taking deep breaths. He's very pale and perspiring.
MIKE
It's back...
She goes to him.
KATHRYN
What's back?
He's fighting some inner demon, and losing. The sharks
come swimming by him. He stares them in the eye. There
seems to be thousands of them.
KATHRYN
Honey, what is it?
MIKE
Hydrophobia...
KATHRYN
Michael, take deep breaths.
MIKE
I have to get out of here.
KATHRYN
Come on.
MIKE
I can't take water, Kathryn.
KATHRYN
Yes, you can.
MIKE
I can't! My dad had it, and I
don't know if you can inherit
it or what, but I got it, and I
hate it. I can't stand it!
He RUNS out of there, running for his life, leaving
her behind. She watches him go.
144 MOVE FROM THEM THROUGH THE WINDOW 144
Out into the water. A shark. We move in on its black
eye, till the eye fills the SCREEN.
SHOCK CUT TO:
145 EXT. LAGOON - DAY - CLOSE ON CANNON MUZZLE 145
The same size as the eye in the previous shot, ROARING
as the cannon is fired. CAMERA PULLS BACK to reveal
the cannon on the deck of a motorized pirate vessel
which is carrying on its deck a gathering of politicians,
press representatives, TV newsmen, and celebrities. It
sails across the lagoon, flags whipping in the wind,
cannons THUNDERING. CAMERA PANS UP and we see the
words THE NEW SEA KINGDOM WELCOMES YOU moving across
the sky, towed by a single-engine plane.
146 CROWD ARRIVING 146
The great American Tourist invasion. They come in cut-
offs and sandals, Kodaks and sunglasses. They come in
every size, shape, and colored getup. Old and young,
they CHARGE.
P.A. VOICE
Welcome to Sea Kingdom, and the
excitement and discovery of
earth's inner space. For the
whale and dolphin shows, please
stay to the right. The underwater
tunnels are straight ahead...
147 THREE MERMAIDS 147
Very pretty in their fishtail suits. They answer the
tourists' questions.
CUT TO:
148 DOWN SHOT OF SEA KINGDOM 148
As we come floating over the park.
149 PHILIP 149
Dangling out of the HOT AIR BALLOON, filming. Ike is
the pilot.
IKE
Hardly like the Falklands.
Philip calls over the bullhorn to the gaping tourists
below:
PHILIP
If you'll all squeeze a bit
closer, everybody, you can
see yourself tonight on the
evening news.
150 FAT WOMAN TOURIST 150
A 200-pounder in shorts, hat, and sunglasses squeezes
into the shot. She looks up, smiling and waving at
the hot air balloon. She shoves in closer, loses her
balance, and falls into the lagoon.
151 PHILIP 151
Watches woman splashing about.
PHILIP
Well, seems a new whale show has
been added.
They laugh.
CUT TO:
152 LITTLE GIRL CRYING 152
She's scared of the performing WALRUS. Her mother
comforts her.
CUT TO:
153 SIGN - FILLS THE SCREEN 153
"WELCOME TO SEA KINGDOM"
154 WATER SKIERS 154
Come BURSTING through the sign like John Madden in
the Lite Beer commercial. The skiers are in their
pyramid formation.
155 KELLY 155
As usual, is fighting for balance. Teetering on the
edge, she lets out a desperate warning cry.
KELLY
I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna fall!
SKIERS
No, Kelly! Jesus, you can't!
KELLY
Ahh--- Ohhh----
TOD
Back, Kelly. Lean back!
KELLY
Ohhhhh shhhhiiiit.
There she goes.
No, she doesn't.
Yes, she does.
Nope, still up there.
Hang on, Kel.
156 CROWD 156
Applauding the skiers as they come zooming by in
formation.
157 SKIERS 157
Make their sweeping turn and head in to shore. They
come neatly out of the pyramid.
158 KELLY 158
Makes a graceful 3-point landing, gliding onto the
dock. She EXPLODES in joy, all bubbly and happy,
thrilled at her accomplishment.
KELLY
I did it, I did it!
She leaps on Tod, hugging him exuberantly.
SKIERS
Way to go, Kelly!
You were great!
KELLY
I knew I could do it!
They all slap palms and give high-fives and hugs.
Kelly is the center of the adulation.
CUT TO:
159 MONSTERS OF THE DEEP FUN TUNNEL 159
Everyone enjoying the scary walk. We see the giant
squid tentacles reaching over the glass. Kids scream.
Now it seems as if one tentacle has actually BROKEN
THROUGH, but it's only an illusion. An EEL flies out
of a cave and charges.
CUT TO:
160 THREE TEENAGE GIRLS 160
Screaming, yelling, giggling as they react to the
ravenous "monster." The girls are LINDA, BECKY,
and ALI. They love it.
161 TOURISTS 161
Moving happily along. They eat, take pictures, push
strollers. Everybody's having fun.

Kathryn looks pleased.
CUT TO:
163 CONTROL ROOM UNDERWATER 163
All the gauges and dials and monitors registering.
164 OPERATOR 164
Looks at one flashing gauge. He calls his partner
over. They look a bit concerned as they check it.
CUT TO:
165 KATHRYN RUNNING THROUGH THE CROWD 165
She forces her way through those in line to see the
live "Great White Shark."
KATHRYN
Excuse me, sorry. Let me through,
please. I have to get through!
CUT TO:
166 INT. EXHIBIT 166
Brian and Ruth are walking the shark. The exhibit is
PACKED with tourists, gaping down, watching.
167 KATHRYN 167
Bursts through onto the floor, kicking her shoes off
on the run. She jumps into the tank.
KATHRYN
When did this happen?
RUTH
Ten minutes ago.
BRIAN
It hasn't adjusted.
KATHRYN
Get the hose! We've got to force
more water through the gills and
oxygenate him!
Brian scampers out of the tank for the hose.
KATHRYN
I knew it; it's my fault. We
moved it too soon.
RUTH
Don't blame yourself.
KATHRYN
I should have never listened to
Calvin.
They walk the shark.
RUTH
Kathryn...
KATHRYN
... Goddamn it.
The shark is dead. It floats over, belly up.
KATHRYN
Takes a painful moment, looking at the shark.
RUTH
No one's ever done it before.
It was a good try...
KATHRYN
Not good enough.
RUTH
We got it to live for ten hours.
That's some kind of record.
She turns from the shark and looks up at all the
168 TOURISTS 168
Gaping down, taking pictures, grumbling.
TOURISTS
Big deal.
Let's get our money back.
LITTLE GIRL
Look, Mommy, the shark's dead.
MOM
Yes, dear. Come on.
They start to leave with the others. Some still stare
and wait.
169 KATHRYN 169
The disappointment and disgust is evident. Brian puts
a comforting arm around her.
BRIAN
Don't feel bad.
KATHRYN
(resigned)
Okay... Have them get it out of
the tank.
She climbs out of the tank.

CUT TO:
173 BACKSTAGE SKI SHOW 173
Mike and Sean stand to the side as the girls hurry
past them, changing costumes.
SEAN
Mike, this is fantastic. I mean,
you're responsible for building
all this. What a job you've done!
Maybe I'll quit school and come
down here and work with you.
Brody Brothers Construction.
We've always wanted to do that
together. Boat building.
MIKE
It's not that easy. Worked
construction every summer to get
through school. Three years
apprentice in the park's
engineering department, and two
years to build all this. Finish
school first, Sean. Then make up
your mind. If you still want to
work with me, we'll have plenty of
time.
SEAN
You and Kathryn gonna stay here?
MIKE
This company's expanding. They
got parks in Texas, Ohio,
California. I think I'm gonna
be going to Waco.
SEAN
Well, Dad asked me to ask you
this, about the wedding. Is
there any chance you and Kathryn
will get married in Amity?
MIKE
Tell Dad we're getting married
in Las Vegas. In one of those
chapels. He can meet us there.
SEAN
(laughing)
Yeah, he'll really go for that.
MIKE
It's all up to Kathryn. Amity's
fine with me if it's fine with
her.
KELLY (V.O.)
Sean!
Sean looks over as he hears his name called. Kelly's
running over to them.
MIKE
She still talking to you?
SEAN
We're in love.
MIKE
Sure.
SEAN
No, really. I've never met
anyone like her before. This
is it.
MIKE
Yeah, right. That's what you
said about Janet, and Beth, and
Barbara --
SEAN
Puppy love. This time it's real!
We can have a double wedding.
Kelly is upon them. She's in her warm-up suit and
looks adorable. Sean greets her with a hug and a
kiss.
SEAN
You were great out there!
KELLY
Did you see me?! Wasn't I
terrific?
SEAN
As always.
They kiss again. Kelly sees Mike.
KELLY
Hi, Mike.
MIKE
How you doing, Kelly?
KELLY
(sniffling)
I'm Neo-Senephrened out. Think
I'm catching a cold.
MIKE
Better than catching Sean's
herpes.
An astounded glare.
KELLY
Herpes?
SEAN
Why you sonuvabitch...
MIKE
(leaving)
See you tonight.
Mike smirks away as Kelly grabs Sean.
KELLY
Sean, do you have herpes?
SEAN
No. Of course not. Don't listen
to him. He's - he's...
(laughing)
... my brother.
They kiss.
KELLY
I'm not in the next show. What
do you want to do?
He looks at her and grins.
KELLY
Besides that.
SEAN
I don't know, what else is there?
KELLY
(excitedly)
I know! We can take the gondola
ride!
SEAN
The one that goes underwater?
KELLY
Yes, it's great!
SEAN
No, Kelly, I don't want to...
KELLY
Come on, it's fun!
SEAN
Not for me. I don't go in the
water, remember?
KELLY
You're not in the water. You're
in a gondola.
SEAN
No, think of something else.
KELLY
Sean, this is ridiculous. You're
acting very immature.
SEAN
I'm not acting! I don't want to
go in it, okay?
She's dragging him by the hand.
KELLY
Well, I do! Time you got over
this wet dream. Nothing's gonna
hurt you. Now c'mon, we're
going on it!
He very reluctantly goes with her.

ALI
Is this one scary?
ATTENDANT
No. This one's fun. You'll

BECKY
Oh, good. Because the last one
really scared us.
They head into the tunnel.

176 INT. CONTROL ROOM 176
The Woman Controller sees something on one of the

WOMAN
Did you see that?

What?
WOMAN
On monitor three. Was a glimpse

Yes, there is goes.

It's disappeared.

She picks up the phone.

BECKY
Wow, look at that!
LINDA
Yeah. Reminds me of my date last
night.
ALI
Hey, look at that thing over
there. What's that supposed to
be?
They press to the glass for a closer look. We see
some kind of FORM, floating.
BECKY
I don't know. Some kind of
crab?
ALI
It looks like a man.
LINDA
It is!
179 THE FORM 179
Rolls over as the girls SCREAM in horror. We see it
is
OVERMAN
What's left of him.
CUT TO:
180 DAVEY JONES LOCKER 180
Mike sits at the bar, on a stool. He's had a few, and
it shows. There's a good crowd in the restaurant.
181 PHILIP, IKE, AND SHELLY ENTER 181
Move for a spot. Philip spots Mike.
PHILIP
See you later, mates.
Philip moves over to Mike.
182 MIKE AND PHILIP AT BAR 182
Philip puts an arm around Mike.
PHILIP
Your friend Overman picked a
hell of a time to come back.
MIKE
Yeah, poor bastard.
PHILIP
I lost a good cameraman in
Australia last year. A Great
White chopped him in half with
one bite.
MIKE
Hey, I don't want to hear.
PHILIP
That's how they do it, you know.
Seizes its prey and shakes its
body savagely. Teeth gnaw through
a man like a buzz saw.
MIKE
Buzz off.
PHILIP
I will, old boy, tomorrow. Our
work is done here. Just came to
say goodbye, and good luck.
MIKE
Yeah? Well, in that case, have a
drink.
PHILIP
Thanks.
(to girl bartender)
Bullshot.
MIKE
So where you go off to, Hutton?
Some expedition in New Guinea or
Outer Mongolia?
PHILIP
No, South Georgia.
MIKE
What the hell's there?
PHILIP
Polar bears.
MIKE
Polar bears in Georgia???
PHILIP
South Georgia, Antarctica.
MIKE
Oh...
PHILIP
The world's southern most reaches.
MIKE
How come you're so brave with all
this stuff?
PHILIP
Tradition. Royal sense of
adventure that's been in my family
for centuries. Dates back to the
Crusades and King Richard. What
I was born to do.
MIKE
Yeah, tradition's a bitch, ain't
it?
PHILIP
Reach for the limit I always say.
MIKE
I'll remember that, my Lordship.
183 KATHRYN ENTERS 183
She takes a beat, looks around, and moves quickly to
the bar.
KATHRYN
Michael.
They both look at her as she comes up to them.
KATHRYN
Michael, look at this.
She shows us what's in her hand.
A VERY BIG SHARP TOOTH
Mike looks at it.
MIKE
Put it under your pillow and
sleep on it and the tooth
fairy will --
KATHRYN
It's a shark's tooth!
MIKE
So?
KATHRYN
It was removed from Charlie
Overman's body.
PHILIP
May I?
He takes the tooth. One look and he knows.
PHILIP
... The bigger to eat you with.
He and Kathryn exchange an understanding that Mike
doesn't.
MIKE
(confused)
What's the big deal? A shark got
Overman, and we got the shark.
KATHRYN
That's just it, Michael. We
don't!
MIKE
What do you mean, we don't?
KATHRYN
This tooth is from another shark.
A shark that could be 30 feet long!
MIKE
Thirty feet???
PHILIP
Actually, thirty-five is probably
more accurate.
MIKE
That's impossible. If it's that
big, why hasn't anybody seen it?
Huh? Tell me that. It's like
not seeing the Goodyear blimp in
a swimming pool.
KATHRYN
That's what I've come to ask you.
Is there any large place that has
a strong current of water flowing?
MIKE
I don't understand.
His BEEPER starts signaling. He ignores it.
KATHRYN
Sharks have to keep moving. They
can never stop or they'll suffocate.
If water isn't always flowing
through them, they'll die.
PHILIP
Is there such a place? A cave
or something with such a flow?
MIKE
I don't know... I can't think
offhand of one.
He reaches for his signaling beeper.
MIKE
Yeah, what is it?

KATHRYN
That's why they're always moving.

MIKE
It's all controlled from the

PHILIP
I've heard of a White that big,
in Australia...
KATHRYN
How'd it get in here?!
MIKE
Slumps on his stool, head in his hands, half-bagged,
mumbling low.
MIKE
Oh, no... not again. A thirty-
five-foot fuckin' shark...
Goddamn... what's wrong with my
family? First my father... now
me...
MIKE
Sees something REFLECTED in his glass. He leans
forward, curiously, watching whatever it is growing
larger and larger.
MIKE
What the hell...
He turns and SEES
190 JAWS! 190
In all it's full, awesome, HORRIFYING form. Mouth
open, it tries to eat the viewing glass, then turns.
Its body thunders against the window, shaking it as
people SCREAM and panic for the door.
KATHRYN (V.O.)
Oh, my God!
191 KATHRYN AND PHILIP 191
Can't believe it themselves. They stare in awe.

Coming through, please!
Philip is standing and screaming.
PHILIP
Move your bloody asses!
Mike tries to drive through-around the crowd. They
yell back at him. Mike grabs his beeper and calls in.

them.
TOD
Holy shit!
He completes his turn-around and skis on, looking back
over his shoulder. One of the GIRL SKIERS notices him
looking.
GIRL
Hey, what'd you lose?
TOD
Huh... nothing... just don't
fall. Just don't fall!
He glances back again. The fin follows, then dives
beneath the surface.

Having heard Mike's announcement, they're all looking
about with great concern.
210 SKIER 210
Does a JUMP, coming off a ramp. Airborne, he glances
down in disbelief as he FLIES over the monstrous form
swimming beneath him.
SKIER
Holy shit!
He lands and keeps going.
211 SKIERS 211
As the boat comes roaring in at top speed. The skiers
make their sliding breakaway and clamber up onto the
pad and safety.
212 MIKE AND PHILIP 212
Are amongst those helping them out. The skiers
collapse thankfully.
SKIER
God, that was close!
213 GIRL SKIERS 213

(apprehensively)
Now what's this do?
KELLY
Goes up.
Sean looks out at the water and sees
219 THE FIN 219
Knifing through the water.
SEAN
(aghast)
No... It can't be.

He's diving!
222 THE FIN 222
Disappears.
223 THE GONDOLA 223
Slowly rises. Now ten feet above the water.
KELLY
(big sigh)
We made it. It can't get us.
Sean still stares through the glass bottom at the water.
SEAN
Take it up!
KELLY
SEAN!
Kelly has reason to scream, for
224 THE SHARK 224
Comes BURSTING out of the water at them.
SEAN
NO!
225 SHARK 225
Lunges high into the air, giant jaws open wide, rows
of teeth bared. It clamps down on the rising gondola.

Kathryn barely shakes her head "no." Mike shows his
pain.
KATHRYN
How is he?
MIKE
Couple of fractures, lacerations.
They say he's gonna be all right.
KATHRYN
... I have to go, honey. Phillip
and I are going down together to
kill the shark.
MIKE

PHILIP
We can assume he's back in the
water intake passage.
KATHRYN
She, Mister Hutton.
PHILIP
He. She. Let's blow the bitch
up!
CALVIN
You can't do that. We're talking
millions of dollars of filtering
system.
PHILIP
We're talking a bloody dinosaur's
down there!
CALVIN
You're not going to blow that
equipment away.
PHILIP
Well, what else do you propose?
MIKE (V.O.)
We net it...
They all look to see
235 MIKE 235
Coming through the door, joining them.
MIKE
(continuing)
After all, that's how you catch
fish, isn't it?
PHILIP
You could also try a bamboo pole
and a worm.
CALVIN
What's your plan, Brody?
MIKE
It's easy. Put a net on the
derrick. Put the net in the
water by the intake passage.
Turn off the intake passage.
Shark comes out into the net
and is hauled up.
PHILIP
A piece of pie on Sunday.
KATHRYN
The net would have to be secured
by the intake passage.
MIKE
That's right.
KATHRYN
Who's going to do it?
MIKE
Me.
KATHRYN
Michael, you're not going down
there.
MIKE
I am. You're not.
KATHRYN
But you --
MIKE
(cutting her off)
It's a construction job. I'm
the only one that can do it.
PHILIP
I'll go with you.
MIKE
No way.
PHILIP
I'll stay out of your way. I
won't interfere.
MIKE
I'm sure you won't. But you're
going to have to wait till we
come up. Then you can film all
you want.
He starts for the door as Kathryn grabs him.
KATHRYN
Michael, you don't have to go
down there.
MIKE
I want that shark, Kathryn.
KATHRYN
You don't have to prove anything.
MIKE
Only to myself.
She watches as he leaves.

Philip flathands Ike on the shoulder, startling him.
He points to Ike's lights, and Ike nods jerkily, turns
them on, turns on his head lantern. Philip gestures

angrily, and Ike has to go along but is most unhappy
about it.

407 THE SHARK 407
Starting to back out of the opening it has battered
into the hold entrance.
408 MIKE AND KATHRYN 408
Kicking upward as fast as they can go.
409 SURFACE 409
As they break through, looking down.
410 WHAT THEY SEE - THE SHARK 410
Coming up at them.
411 MIKE AND KATHRYN 411
Not knowing what to do. They start spasmodically as
the two dolphins rush up from beneath the water and
appear nearby. Without a word, Mike and Kathryn grab
the dolphins' dorsal fins, and the dolphins start to
rush them away.
412 THE CHASE 412
Shots alternating between Mike and Kathryn being pulled
along by the dolphins and the giant shark pursuing them,
getting closer and closer. When it becomes apparent that
the shark is going to overtake them, the dolphins make a
sharp turn and elude its heavier, straight-forward impetus.
Seeing where they are, Mike points downward. Kathryn hits
Bobby on the side and he dives abruptly. Daisy follows.
413 UNDERWATER 413
The dolphins diving with Mike and Kathryn as they put
their mouthpieces back in. We see that they are outside
the Control Room, the men inside looking out at them in
shock. Mike lets go of the fin and swims to the lock,
gesturing for Kathryn to do the same. She does and
both take refuge in the concrete recess as the shark
zooms into FRAME from behind CAMERA, rushing at them.
414 INSIDE THE RECESS 414
As the huge shark comes at them. Mike activates the
outer door of the lock, and they are washed in just as
the shark smashes its head against the concrete, jaws
missing their feet by inches.
415 INT. LOCK 415
The shark still trying to get at them. Mike shuts the
outer door and starts to drain the water from the lock.
As it comes below their heads, they pull out their
mouthpieces and look at each other with dazed relief.
He puts his arms around her, and they lean their fore-
heads together, breathing hard. The water is out of
the lock in seconds; inside, men activate the inner door.
416 INT. CONTROL ROOM 416
As Mike and Kathryn are helped in by the technicians.
One of them looks toward the o.s. window suddenly.
MAN
Oh, my God!
They whirl and look.
417 THE SHARK 417
Coming straight at the window as fast as it can. With
a deafening CRASH, it hits the window and the glass is
shattered, a wall of water roaring in.
418 FULL SHOT - MIKE AND KATHRYN AND THE MEN 418
Swept across the Control Room by the giant wave of
water flung around. One man is smashed against a wall
and killed. Several others make it to the door, getting
out just before the water slams it shut.
419 MIKE AND KATHRYN 419
Putting their mouthpieces in again as the Control Room
fills with water. They look toward
420 THE SHARK 420
With one of the technicians in its JAWS and is sub-
dividing him.
421 CONTROL ROOM 421
Starts flooding. A tape bank topples , crushing
female technician.
422 IMPALED SHARK 422
Thrashes violently, working its way in. It's caught
on a huge section of thick glass piercing its side.
423 MIKE AND KATHRYN 423
Staring at the shark. Suddenly, the air in Mike's tank
runs out and, reacting, he taps Kathryn's arm. She sees
his problem, takes a deep breath, and gives him her
mouthpiece. They look toward the window at a loud SOUND.
424 THEIR POV - THE SHARK 424
Still very much alive, throwing its gigantic weight
forward, getting closer and closer to CAMERA, each
violent lurch cutting its side open more, blood pouring
from the jagged rent.
425 ANGLE PAST SHARK ON MIKE AND KATHRYN 425
As it gets closer and closer to them. They back away,
are blocked by a console.
426 ANGLE PAST MIKE AND KATHRYN 426
Showing the shark closer yet. Despite the impaling
blade of glass, despite the internal injuries, the
shark -- in seconds -- will have them.
427 CLOSE ON MIKE AND KATHRYN 427
Sharing the mouthpiece, huddled together, helpless now.
Then Kathryn's eyes widen, both react.
428 THE SHARK 428
Shaking its head as it inches forward, jaws open wide.
429 MIKE AND KATHRYN 429
Drawing back. Kathryn SCREAMS.
430 THE SHARK 430
Emerging from its maw is Philip's body.
431 PHILIP'S BODY 431
We see the GRENADE locked in his fist.
432 MIKE 432
Quickly grasps a metal strip from the tape bank and
fashions a crude hook.
433 MIKE 433
Times his move perfectly and KNOCKS the grenade out of
Philip's locked fist. The grenade comes to rest between
the shark's TEETH. Kathryn gives Mike some air, then
434 MIKE 434
Leaps forward and SNATCHES the grenade out of the
shark's mouth.
435 MIKE 435
Hurriedly wraps a metal strip around the grenade.
436 KATHRYN 436
Acts as a decoy and lures the shark's attention as
437 MIKE 437
PULLS the grenade pin and
SHOVES GRENADE
Into the distracted shark's mouth.
438 MIKE GRABS KATHRYN 438
And they roll behind a Control Room desk and computer
terminal console.
439 FULL SHOT SHARK 439
As the shark is BLOWN OUT backward through the window
opening, torn in half by the explosion, its massive
remains starting to slide toward the lagoon bottom,
turning the water crimson.
440 MIKE AND KATHRYN 440
Grabbing the stunned Kathryn, Mike pulls her to the
window and out, starting upward through the bloody
water.
441 UNDERWATER - MIKE AND KATHRYN 441
Sharing the air, they slowly float to the surface,
buddy-buddy breathing.
442 SURFACE 442
Mike and Kathryn break through. Helping each other,
they make their way over to a camera pylon.
443 MIKE AND KATHRYN 443
Cling to the pylon and each other.
444 KATHRYN 444
Suddenly looks alarmed as she remembers:
KATHRYN
Bobby and Daisy.
Mike looks about, no sign of the dolphins.
445 KATHRYN 445
Slaps the water hard three times.
No dolphins.
She does it again.
And again.
446 KATHRYN 446
And now, in total ANGER AND FRUSTRATION, she pounds the
water like Rocky on the punching bag until she is
drained, and Kathryn breaks down sobbing as Mike holds
her, trying to comfort her.
447 DOLPHINS 447
Come shooting to the surface! They're banged and
bruised, but are chirping excitedly and as HAPPY to
see Kathryn and Mike as they are to see them.
448 DOLPHINS 448
Slowly swim around the hugging Mike and Kathryn as
CAMERA PULLS UP to show the Sea Kingdom, in all its
entirety, safe at last.
FADE OUT.
THE END
