The Creature Below (2016)
- Good morning Dr. Fletcher.
My name is Dr. olive crown and you need my help. I am a marine biologist and ecologist specializing in oceanic trenches. I am the only non-military personnel to advise on the development of the 80ds-200 exosuit. Working exclusively with the us Navy diving off the coast of Southern California. I had a crucial roll in getting the suit to perform stably at depths of 1,000 feet but their ambition was limited. Yours I believe is not and neither is mine. There were rumors on the confront circuit that you are developing a new suit, one that can go deeper, explore further. I want to be your diver. Your paper suggesting that all life stems from one single deoceanic rift is compelling. Not many people are able to make such a bold statement. And I have one of my own. I have always felt that I am destined to make discoveries that will change the course of humanity. Your expedition, Dr. Fletcher is the first with ambition that matches my own. You need someone who will push themselves to the limit. You need me. Whatever it is your searching for down there. I can find it. Flowing the descent now. Activating suit illumination. - Pressure's good. Orientation's good. Continue the descent. - You're reaching the maximum tolerance of the suit. - I'm approaching the source of the seismic reading. Keep lowering. - The suit isn't tested on these depths. - I'm testing it now. Give me another 200 feet, I'm almost there. Lowering to 1,500 feet. - Visibility's dire. Give me some more light. There's something down here. - Olive? I can't hear you. - Dara? Dara are you there? - Repeat your last transmission. I can't hear anything pull her up. Get her out of there. - Olive, olive, olive, olive. Breathe, breathe. Breathe, breathe. Thought we lost you there. - The exosuit failed. How? - We lost contact with you. But you're back now. Relax. Breathe. - What happened down there? - I don't remember. - Most likely cerebral hypoxia. That would explain the memory loss. You should get it back. But I wanna see you everyday until we dock. And for now, make sure you get some rest. - I shouldn't of let you go that deep. - I run the dive. This is on me. - But you could've died. - All part of the job. - You need to listen more. - Dara. You saved my life. Thank you. - Just doing my job. You're back early. - Dr. Fletcher. - This the tobe I had? What the fuck happened down there? There's millions of pounds of damage. The whole diving's fucked. - I was almost killed. - What happened down there? - I don't remember. - The dive has been postponed indefinitely. You destroyed my suit. My research is wasted, you are fired. - But Dr. Fletcher. - I don't want to see your face 'till we make port. You're lucky I don't throw you overboard. Enjoy your leave. It's going to last awhile. - What's the damage? - Oxygen tank's burst. - How? - A blockage. No way to fix it, i need to replace it. - I know Fletcher fired you. It's not right. - It's done. - You'll be home in five days. - I'd like to remind all crew on Shaw beak to submit for a full physical for the ship Dr. froid spark. I'm gonna further announce the intra permit to off limits to all personnel after 5pm is complete. - Here let me. - You're back then. - Just docked. - Have you seen Matthew yet? You put that down. Stop wasting time with this old country, go see your fella. He's been moping around since you left. - You've been looking out for him, haven't you? - Of course I have darling. Now get inside and put a smile back on his face. - We'll catch you later. - Hello? - Hi. - Olive. Why didn't you tell me you were back? - It wasn't planned. - We have three new patients at work. It's absolutely crazy. I can't let em' down. - Of course. You should go in. - But you're here. - And I'll be here when you get home. You're late already. - It's only a single. I'll be back for tea. In fact, I'm gonna cook you dinner. Crab rozau, you're gonna love it. - You're good to me. - I'll be back before you know it. - Matt. - You down here? - Just finishing up. - Wow, you've been busy. - Good day? - It is now. Five months. - I thought about you, every day. - I'm no good on my own. - I don't know. House has never looked better. - I won't leave again. I'm back. For good this time. - Going to gym. - I can see. - I did do something all me self. - Maybe I'll make it up to you. - What you up to today, trouble? - I've got something to keep me busy. - I'm glad you're home. Don't go changing. I'll be back soon. - You're okay. - You down here? - Wait, I'll come up. - You already, yeah? Table's booked for six. - I'm coming. What are you doing back? - I'm tired. We should've finished an hour ago. You're still in your pj's? What have you been up to today? Lazy day? You're wearing shadow. - I'm fine, I'll go get changed. - You alright? - I'm fine. - Fuckin' this idiot. Come on mate. Careful. You'll be sick. - I'm tired. Okay. Let's try for a better introduction this time. A smokescreen. Trying to hide are we? Come on. What are you? - Where does it come from? - The dive. - You stole this? - I found it. - You shouldn't of took it. - I went through a lot in that day. It was an egg before. It got lodged in the suit. I didn't know what it was. Still don't. - It's a separate part of sorts. It's old. Really old, almost pre-historic. We found it so deep I'm surprised it survived up here. Look at that. It does look ill. - What do you mean? - It's coloration's faded, that's not good. It's a pretty thing. - Stop! - You alright? - I'm fine. - Have you seen a doctor since we got back? - I don't need to. - Can you remember a bit what happened to you down there yet? - No. But I'm fine. - Have you told Matt? - He'd only worry. - I'll laugh. - If you wanna help, tell me if that's a new species. - It won't be new. The ocean's more ancient than the mountains. - Is it a new find? - I don't know. I can't be sure here. You need to bring it to the lab. - I don't work there anymore. - And Dr. Fletcher cannot find out about this. Promise me. - You have been under a lot of stress, olive. You need to get some rest. - Promise me. This is between us. - I promise. - How was work? - Worse than ever. I could deal with his crap when we were at sea. I have the ocean for company. I'm off to the locals tonight to see if I can get the wall swaying again. The grogs better than what we had on the boat at least. You and Matt should come down. - Maybe. - Is everything alright with you and him? - Five months is a long time. - He's a good guy. I imagine he's a good listener. - Thanks for coming down, dara. - That thing, whatever it is, you need to find out what it eats. It's malnourished. And if you really want to categorize this, come by the weekend. You can have my pass. No one will know. - Thanks. You've got to eat something. Ellena. - If you don't want me to borrow his bike he shouldn't of left the keys in it. - You could've been arrested. - The Cambodia police aren't as uptight as here. - She's a wild one your sister. Your turn. Aw, she's a cheat, that's the second time you've had me. - Skilled. See? Now. - Oh no. No, no. - Oh yes. I think so. - It's a gift. - A gift, don't be impolite. - You are a bad influence. - No she's good for you. If I smell like a press. What's this? - You've trained him well. You gonna marry him then? - We're not like that. Ellie. - Still. He's hot though. Mamma always said you had a good eye. - I miss her. - Me too. Matty! Hurry up! My sister needs a drink. - Can you hear that? - Are you okay? - I'm bleeding. - Yeah, let me help. Here, help me. - Hello? - What have you got in your basement? - Fletcher. - You took something from my dive. That research belongs to me, you are in serious shit little girl. - Dr. Fletcher, I don't what you think you've heard but I don't have-- - don't lie to me, olive. Dara told me everything, you are a thief. - Dara? - You have a new species. You bring that creature to me right now or I'll come bang at your door with the police and a team full of lawyers. You'll never dive again you little thief. You have one hour. - Everything alright? - I need to go into work. - Today? But we're all going out. - Well somebody has to pay the bills. - Calm down. - And what are your plans for today? More slacking off? After you've eaten more of my food. - Olive. - For your information, i was gonna take you out. To say thanks. But you can stuff it. - What's wrong with you? Ellie, wait. - What's the matter? This is as fresh as I can get. Fletcher. - Is that the spawn? That creature belongs to me. - Get away from there. You're hurting it. - It was you who showed me. - It's mine! - You don't even know what you have. - You're wrong, Fletcher. I have a way to feed it. - She owes me an apology. - Leave out of it, Ellie. Come on. - It was just a joke. Lighten up. She needs to bring it down a peg or two. What does she even do all day? She thinks she's so important. - I dunno. - You don't know a lot about your girlfriend? Too bad. - And where are you going? - I'm gonna find out what's down there. - You can't, it's her work. - Hey! What are you doing down here? - Getting your attention. - You can't be down here. - Hey, you're hurting me. - You can't be down here. - What's wrong with you? I came to help you. You've lost a lot, even Matt thinks you're crazy. - Matt said that? - As good as. What's happened to you? And what are you doing down here? - It's called work, sis. Maybe you should try it sometime. - You're not as special as what you think you are, olive. - It's okay. No one's going to hurt you again. - I like your sister but, it's nice just the two of us. Don't feel like I've seen you in ages. - My work's important. - I know. I know. Ellie didn't break anything did she? She's a wild one your sister. Uncontrollable. You know my work's pretty busy at the moment. Yeah this there's little old lady. Ms. Jones. She's almost 90 but, she doesn't have long left. We're monitoring around the clock. She's mute. Can't communicate her off. Can't make a sound. It's sad. - Very sad. - Local experts inform the council yet again about the severe weather set to hit the coast in the next few days. Residents and flood risk areas are advised to take necessary precautions in the events of flooding. - What are you doing? I didn't expect this. You here for lunch? - You left your ID. - You came all this way for that? - Thought you'd need it. - No I, I do, thanks. Do you wanna come for lunch? - I can't. - You know what Dr. Fletcher was like, Oliver, he just keeps on pushing and pushing. He just constantly and he wouldn't let up but, I didn't mean to let anything out. I'm sorry. I screwed up. I haven't seen Fletcher since I told him. Did you know there was a fire on the boat? I'll do anything I can to help. It's pretty dark in here, olive. - Over here. Children grow up so fast. - Oh my god. - Fletcher was wrong to try and take it from me. You should never separate a mother from her child. - You okay? - This fucking wine. - What's wrong? - A patient went missing today. I'm really worried about her. - Shit. - Management is starting to point fingers. They say it's my fault. I could lose my job. - I'm sure everything will be fine. Here. Have a beer instead. - I'm leaving tomorrow. - What? Why? - I'm a traveler. Gotta keep rolling. - I'll be working tomorrow. - Then I guess this is goodbye. - We should have a drink. - I don't feel like it. - Oh come on, don't be like that. Forget about the red. We got white. I could open the white. Let's have a drink, it'll be a laugh. - Okay. - They fired me. - What is it? Let me see. I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I have to tell them. Matt. Ellie, Matt. - Olive. - You bitch. Let me go. You're crazy, let me go! - Ow! You're my sister. My own flesh and blood. - What are you doing? Let me go. Matt needs help! - He needs nothing. - Olive! Let me out you crazy bitch. Olive! Come on! - Olive. - Olive. Olive! Where is she? - No. - You attacked me. How could you do that? To me. - You love her. - Ellena? - Matt! Matt. Matt. No! - Come on. - Stop taking up, where are you? - Olive! - Be quiet. She needs rest. - What the fuck is that? - She's a god. A god I command. She won't hurt you unless I want her to. At first I was overwhelmed. It's a merciful thing. The inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. But now I understand. They have slumbered for ions down there. In the dark below. Waiting to be awoken. They chose me. - You've gone fucking mental. - How dare you. I was going to share this with you. - You're a murderer. - I did what was deemed to be done. - You killed Matt. - A necessary sacrifice. He would not of survived what is to come. Let me show you. - Olive, don't. It'll kill you. What are you doing in there? What is that? - Our future. Your future. We live on a placid island of ignorance. In the mists of black seas of infinity. And it was not meant that we should voyage far. But I have seen beyond the bounds of infinity. And drawn down demons from the start. I have harnessed the shadows that stride from world to world. To sew death and madness. - Olive. You need to put that back. - She won't ever hurt me. - Is everyone okay? I can hear an awful noise. - Get me out of here. - Hang on, darling. I can't see a bloody thing. - Ms. crown I'm sorry but we've checked the basement, we've checked the perimeter and there's no trace of this animal you described missing. Put in a call for the station we're gonna need a trauma counselor or something now. We've got a broken drainage break downstairs. Think the suspect could've escaped down there. We notified dispatch, get some searches out, maybe have a look in the sewer system and see what's going on. - As water levels continue to rise and more families are forced to evacuate flood risk areas, government officials are coming under fire for slow response times in the current crisis. Over 600 homes in the north of england have suffered severe flooding. And what experts are calling the biggest rain fall of the last 10 years. Flood defenses across the region failed to provide adequate protection against the rising waters with key roads cutting off emergency services. One local government deny reports that a lack of appropriate flood defenses has diverted the majority of flood water into the sewage system contaminating hundreds of miles of the nearby coastal region. Environmental groups are citing the contamination as the reason behind the dwindling marine life in the region. With the local fishing industry in an understandable uproar. This past week, thousands of dead fish and other marine life have washed up on nearby beaches. Including some species never before seen in the blue waters. Several beaches along the coastline have already been declared at fault. - Mommy, what's that? There's more over there. |
