Octopus 2: River of Fear

Look at this.

This is ridiculous.

It's New York, honey.

Gotta learn to go with it.

4th of July blowout.

The biggest firework display ever comes to the Big Apple

and celebrated with a the world.

Honey, I don't want to see you there.

It's not safe.

Wee!

Honey, stop.

Don't worry, darling.

Nothing is gonna happen.

See?

Nothing!

Whoa.

Whoa!

Whoa.

Sugar, I don't like you in there.

Come on!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh!

What the--

- Honey! - Whoa!

Whoa! - Oh no!

No!

No!

Help!

Somebody help!

Why don't you just tell him we're here?

Sorry.

I just want this to go down right, you know?

I wouldn't let you run an assignment if I didn't think

it was going to go down good.

We've done a hundred times, right?

Yeah.

Well, usually it's your ass in the hot seat, not mine.

Yeah.

It kind of stings, doesn't it?

Little a blow torch.

Hey, Nick.

What's the best thing about being on a scuba team?

Pissing your pants and no one will know.

So if we feel something warm, swim by, and that's you, right?

Why don't you try your sunglasses?

Maybe you'll see something.

I got something.

Yeah, that's them.

OK, guys follow my lead and keep it clean.

We'll get the drugs, make a collar,

and I'll be home by midnight.

Some good?

Good job.

Next time, throw in, well, let's kick some ass.

That's good for team spirit.

NYPD. Don't move!

Freeze!

Excuse me.

But what the hell's going on here?

You're under arrest for suspicion

of international narcotics trafficking.

Now put your hands on your head.

Both of you!

You're making a big mistake, young man.

You'll do what my partner tell you!

I thought you had a hunch.

It's got to be here somewhere.

What's in here?

You really have no idea who I am, do you?

Yeah, you're a royal pain in the ass.

You're a stupid cop who's about to get

in a lot of trouble.

What's that?

It's nothing, just the fish finder.

Walter, that's a diving beacon.

There's somebody down there.

Tony, Paton, read these two their rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say will be used against of you

in a court of law.

You have to right to an attorney.

Mmm.

on the land and in the war.

There's been 17 of them since ..

Looks like we dodged a bullet.

Walter, Nick, into my office.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Hi.

Hi, Chief.

For Christ sake, Nick.

The guy was a New York City judge.

I realize that now, sir.

On your first lead assignment, no less.

Sir, if I may, I've been following

that boat for three months.

It's registered to a twice-convicted drug dealer.

Every other Wednesday, it goes out.

And by Friday, downtown is flooded with drugs.

Hey.

I visit my mother on Staten Island twice a month.

Does that make me a suspect, too?

No, sir.

Sir, it's really my fault.

You're damn right it is, Walter.

I know you have one foot out the door here.

But I don't expect you to just take a nap until then.

No, sir.

Absolutely not.

Good.

Now, I've already extended an apology to the judge.

Hopefully, by the end of the day,

some other guy in some other department will screw up,

and we can laugh at that guy for a while.

In the meantime, I have a call from Pier 42.

They have some electrical problems.

Probably somebody tampered with their submerged cables.

I want you two to dive down and check on it.

Come on.

I want you to check on it!

And I want you to stay out of trouble for one day.

Do I make myself clear?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Walter, what did he mean by that, one foot out the door?

Well, I was waiting for the right moment to tell everybody.

But I put in for a transfer.

Hey, Moses.

What are you talking about?

No, I'm trading in my flippers for a nice cozy little office

uptown.

It's right next to the mayor's office in town.

You're leaving Harbor Patrol?

Yeah.

You know, I finally figured out, the East

River is going to keep on flowing with me or without me.

And it's time for some new blood around here.

So I've recommended you to replace me as unit leader.

Walter, I'm flattered.

But I don't think the captain is going to go for it.

I mean, I don't even seniority.

Seniority is a very highly overrated asset.

You've got something better than that, Nick, right here.

Every day, no matter what, you show up.

You're ready to put your shoulder to the mountain

and move it another inch.

You know, the rest of these guys, I don't know.

I think half of them are in the unit

because they think they look cool in a wet suit.

That's it.

I swear to God.

But Nick, you're the only one, day in day

out, that I can count on to do the right thing.

Even after last night?

Forget about last night, all right?

That kind of shit happens.

It's part of the job.

And you're going to get other opportunities.

And I'm willing to stake my pension

that you're going to do the right thing.

Thanks.

But in the meantime, partner, you and me,

we've got some underwater cable bandidos to round up.

So let's get to it.

Mm, mm.
