Mountain Shark (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Hold on.

No!

Can't be.

Jennifer.

You need to get down here quick.

Are you sure?

The tracking device

has been activated.

The only problem is it's

not picking up its location.

It must have been

damaged somehow.

You think it's still alive?

Well, there's nothing

natural out there

that could take it out.

Hell, we built it to survive.

My only guess is the tracker

must have been

deactivated somehow.

Jesus, if it's still out

in the open like that,

there's no telling what

carnage it could create.

There's no other choice.

We have to terminate it.

You're serious.

And how do you

propose we do that?

We bring in trained soldiers.

Military who experienced in

taking down advanced weaponry.

This whole project is

supposed to be kept hidden.

Then we won't tell them

what they're hunting.

If we play this right, we

can keep them off the scent.

At least until the

inevitable time comes.

And then what happens?

Then we reveal it

for what it is.

An experiment that

got out of control.

How you doing, you twat?

Good to see, prick.

Yeah, how are you?

God, I'm trying

to find this place

without a signals a

f*cking nightmare.

Mm-hmm.

Looks like we're

gonna have to navigate

this the old fashioned way.

Have they even told us

what the f*ck we're

looking for yet?

Have they f*ck.

Brooks, if anyone was to

be given a map, it'd be me

'cause I've proven myself

to be a leader in every

situation I've been in.

Really?

I don't think you've ever

mentioned this before.

Winters, you agree

with me, don't ya?

We shouldn't even be here.

This whole thing is suspect.

What are you on about?

There's nothing to be

scared of out here.

Funny place to be loitering.

Well, at least we here on time.

We were just trying to make sure

we didn't stray from the map.

Why did you get given a map?

I'm the same rank as you.

Let's be honest.

You're not the same rank as me.

It's just a f*cking map.

Yeah, don't get your

knickers and a twist, mate.

Come on.

You've got a job to do.

So, uh, which way is this base?

That way.

Other side of the hills.

They'll be there.

Right.

Let's go then.

I'm gonna lead the way.

You all right?

I've got a bad

feeling about this.

Yeah, honestly, I'm not

feeling great myself about it.

But we're together now, yeah?

So strong as a unit.

Come on.

Why are you wearing trainers?

Oh, f*ck off.

Major Hawkes.

We were worried we'd have

to come looking for you.

Well, it would've

be more beneficial

if we had more than one map.

Shut up.

I'm pleased to meet you all.

We were very keen

to get you in once we'd

looked at your track records

in this field and we both agreed

that you were exactly

the right people

that we needed for this mission.

Who's we, ma'am?

Myself and Dr. Eric Nesbitt,

who heads up the

research program here.

Both of us have

been stationed here

since the base was closed down.

Yes, we were interested

to know why that happened.

Yeah, and what we're hunting.

I mean, we haven't

been told anything.

Don't worry.

We'll answer all of your

questions in due time.

But for now, if you'd

like to follow me.

So you're saying it

just escaped on its own?

That's right.

How?

Well truth is, during

our experiments,

we trained it to

think for itself.

That's what makes

it so dangerous

and that's why we

need to take it down

before it wreaks

havoc out there.

It sounds more like some

kind of animal than a weapon.

Yeah, could you give us

some more information on

what we're against?

It'd be good to

have some specifics

before we go running

around hunting this thing.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

As you now all know,

the weapon has a

conscious mind of its own.

And the more knowledge

that you have of it,

the quicker it will learn

to use that against you

and eliminate you

all one by one.

This is Dr. Eric Nesbitt,

our head of research.

It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Even though the base

is inactive now,

there's still a great amount

of confidential documentation

that I'm responsible

for keeping secure.

And whilst I do

this, Dr. Nesbitt

can continue to

further our research.

Makes sense I guess.

So as it's getting

late, we'll prepare you

with all of your equipment

first thing in the morning.

But for now, best for

you to get early night.

We'll need you all to be ready.

You do.

What are

you doing in here?

Major, I, uh, I got lost.

Lost enough to be rifling

through private documents.

I was just curious.

I didn't see anything

confidential.

Everything here is confidential,

which is why you

shouldn't be in this room

or any other that we

haven't authorized.

Yes, ma'am.

I won't do it again.

See that you don't.

These will be your only means

of communicating back to us.

So anything happens you

let us know immediately.

Everyone clear on that?

Everyone understand

what she just said?

Yes, yes.

Brooks?

Yes, Walker, I

heard what she said.

Good.

Make sure to keep

this on at all times.

It's a tracking device.

It'll help you pick up

the weapons location.

And believe me, you will

need to be prepared.

We'll be ready.

Well, it goes without saying,

but be careful out there.

I do not say that lightly.

So stay vigilant and

good luck to you all.

Anything here?

All this unoccupied land

we could be tracking

for a while.

Geez.

How do we know if

we've gone too far?

When we

run out of food.

f*ck.

Well, if the sh*t hits the fan,

we can always k*ll

and eat Walker.

You seem anxious, Winters.

Don't think I'm cut out

for this of thing anymore.

That's bullshit.

You don't feel the rush of

being on the front line.

Going face to face with danger.

I've seen enough of danger.

I just wanna go live

a, a simple life.

You gotta be joking.

Mate, you gotta do whatever

feels right for you, okay?

It's your life.

Don't let anyone else

tell you how to live it.

You haven't faced a big

enough challenge here,

that's the problem.

Trust me, when you do

and you overcome it,

you'll be hungry for more.

I don't understand why

we've not seen any sign

of this thing yet in

all this open space.

Maybe it's a stealth weapon.

Well what's it doing then?

Hiding behind the rock?

-f*ck.

-Holy sh*t.

What the hell happened?

What the f*ck are

we up against here?

Walker to base.

This is Walker to base.

Do you read me?

Over.

This is Major

Hawkes receiving you clearly.

Over.

Major Hawkes, we've got

some good news and bad news.

The good news is we found

this tracking device.

The bad news is it's not

attached to the weapon.

It's not there?

Nope.

It must have got rid

of the tracking device

when it was busy mutilating

these bodies were found.

You found bodies.

What's left of them, yeah.

Christ.

So what do you want

us to do with them?

Because if you want

us to bury them,

we're gonna need a shovel.

And even if we've got a shovel,

it's gonna take too long.

We need one of

the bodies back at the base

so that we can carry

out an autopsy.

An autopsy?

Why do we need an autopsy?

It's

like I said before,

the weapon has a

mind of its own.

We need to find out if

its patterns have changed

and that way it'll be easier

to take out its defenses.

To clarify, you want us

to bring the body

back to the base?

Not all of you.

We still need to

track down the weapon.

So we'd only need one or

two of you to bring it back.

I'll do it.

I'm done.

I don't wanna be

doing this anyway.

It's best if I take it back.

How are you gonna carry it?

I've got some body bags,

you know, just in case.

Never the optimist,

aren't you, Winters?

Thanks

for volunteering.

It'll be useful

for our research.

The rest of you'll have to carry

on without the tracker now,

but if you find anything,

call it in immediately.

Over.

We will.

I'll lead the way.

Over and out.

Winters, I can come with you.

No, I specified going alone.

I'm only gonna slow you down.

This is insane.

We've been searching all day.

I mean, do we even know

this thing's even out here?

I'd say the corpses are

a bit of a giveaway.

Yes, but that could

have happened days ago,

which means this thing could

be a hundred miles away by now.

Yeah, it feels like we've

been walking that far already.

Yeah, let's call it a night

and set up camp

before it gets dark.

Fine by me.

Right as squadron leader,

I'm gonna supervise whilst

you guys set up camp.

Right, let's get on with it.

You okay?

Yeah.

You know, I just

kind of feel like

I'm not prepared

enough for this.

You guys, you know you've,

you've seen a lot

worse than this sh*t.

Trust me, it doesn't

make it any easier.

You've got to just

detach yourself from it

and the more you experience

the easier it will be.

Yeah, I guess.

There's something else as well.

Back at base, I

went into this room

and I found these documents

of sea creatures and weaponry.

I had no idea what they, the

two had to do with one another.

It just seemed f*cking

strange, you know?

Sea creatures?

Yeah, it just

seems really strange.

Anyway, it's getting dark,

let's set up our camp.

Oh, sh*t.

Winters to Walker, come in.

Oh, sh*t.

sh*t.

I don't know why you're

finding this so difficult?

Well, are you gonna

help me or what?

No, you need to learn.

This reminds me when me

and my dad went camping

and he'd set up a tent and

it'd be beautiful inside

and he'd make me set up my tent

and if I didn't set up

my tent, I'd freeze.

So you've done

your army training,

you've gone through

all the tests.

Apparently now you need

to learn to set up a tent.

Oh, can you just f*ck off?

Hey guys, calm down, all right?

We're on the same team here.

I'm not on the same team as her.

Like she can't

even set up a tent.

What use are you in the army?

You shouldn't even

be in the army

if you can't set

up a f*cking tent.

Can't do something so simple.

You know what?

I think we all know

who's the one here

who shouldn't be in the army.

What do you mean by that?

You are the only one

out of all of us here

who's left a man behind to die.

How dare you bring that up.

All right, you weren't there.

You don't even

know what happened.

I know exactly how it went down

because I know what you're like.

Oh yeah.

Well I'd like to know

how you would've reacted

if you were there.

You act like you're

so f*cking brave,

but you haven't got a clue

what you do when

the shits going down

and you've got no time

to make a decision!

Winters to Walker.

Winters to Walker.

Winters to Walker.

I wonder how Jim's doing.

Oh yeah, I tried to

contact him on the radio,

but it was just

spitting out static.

The radios aren't working.

No, it doesn't look like it.

That's not good.

We're already vulnerable

out here enough as it is.

Are you scared?

Don't be scared.

You know, you've just

gotta keep your g*n close

and if you hear anything,

make sure your finger's

on the trigger.

Okay, work rules.

Oh.

f*ck it.

Hello there.

Oh, f*ck.

Sorry if I startled you.

What the f*ck?

Who the f*ck are you?

Sorry, I just saw your tent

so I thought I'll

come and say hello.

Why did you think that?

Hope I didn't wake you.

Of course you woke us up.

It's the middle of

the f*cking night.

Sorry, I just haven't seen

many people around here.

Yeah, okay, get out of here.

Fair enough.

f*ck.

Some people f*ck' lunatic.

f*ck.

Jesus.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

What are you doing here?

I thought I'd make

you some breakfast.

You know, to kind of make up

for startling you last night.

Brooks.

Right, what's going on here?

You!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hands up.

Hands up.

My name's Larry.

I was hiking in the area when

I came across your campsite.

I just wanted to make

you some breakfast

as a kind of peace offering.

Pretty intrusive, isn't it?

Pretty weird too.

What do you do with those?

We're all an army

drill in the area.

Oh, I thought you

with that man I saw.

Why?

I saw a man yesterday

carrying a large bag

over his shoulder.

It looked like a body,

but mind you my

eyesight's not that great.

It was probably a

tent bag or something.

The other thing I saw.

What other thing?

You're probably gonna think

I'm crazy when I say this,

but I swear I saw a shark

fin moving along the top

of the rocks just over there.

A shark fin?

I know it sounds mad but I

know I didn't imagine it.

I've heard all of

weird things going on

around these parts recently.

People going missing.

That weapon's base carrying

out all sorts of tests.

Makes you wonder if it's

something to do with them.

Surely that's not

what we're here for,

to k*ll a weaponized shark.

Those documents I found

about the aquatic species.

Well, what do

you mean aquatic species?

Back at base,

I found all these f*ck'

documents about like sea creatures

and weapons and.

You gotta be joking, right?

No.

Winters, are you receiving?

Over.

Oh mate, they're not working.

What is going on here?

I think it's coming.

Lock and load!

Get ready!

Get ready!

No b*ll*ts!

We're firing f*cking blanks!

Run!

Help!

Help!

Come on!

Let's go!

Go, go, go!

Oh, thank you.

Take it easy.

Don't put any weight on it.

What the hell was that?

I think it was a shark.

Yes, Brooks, I know

it was a shark.

But what I wanna know

is what's it doing

out in the mountains

when it should be right out

there in the f*cking sea?

What are you doing

all back here?

Well sorry we've

inconvenienced you

but we've just been

out there running away

from a k*ller shark.

-Oh.

-Oh.

What do you mean?

Don't pretend you

don't know about it.

You are the one that sent

us out there to k*ll it.

All right, there's

no point keeping

any more information from you.

You know what it is now,

and I hope you can

appreciate why we had

to keep it all a secret.

I don't think it's

gonna stay a secret

for very long, do you?

And what we don't

understand is why.

Why what?

Why you would turn a

f*cking shark into a weapon!

It was

originally planned

as a project for the navy.

An unsuspecting sea creature

that could attack enemy subs,

battle cruisers from beneath.

And then during the

stages of our research,

we proposed an idea for a weapon

that could fight on

both land and sea.

A hybrid breed of warfare.

It was set to be

the most advanced

and versatile piece of

weaponry ever created.

That was until it escaped.

And we were hoping if you

were able to take it out,

that we could wrap

this whole thing up

and avoid anyone

else getting hurt.

Not to cause a fuss but

my knee is really f*cked.

We really need to

get a first aid kit.

There's one in

that cupboard over there.

Okay, I'll get it.

You really shouldn't have

brought it back here.

Now that it knows where we are,

it'd be out there

looking for us.

Well, we would've k*lled

the f*cking thing,

but our g*ns were firing blanks.

What?

Yeah, when we were

trying to sh**t,

there were no

b*ll*ts in our g*n.

It really feels like someone

wanted us to fail our mission.

But I don't understand.

Eric supplied you

all with everything.

He wouldn't have put in

the wrong ammunition.

You're right.

I never did.

Eric, what are you doing?

Get back!

All of you get back.

You get up.

Move, come on!

I made no mistake.

I put in exactly

what I intended to.

You put blanks in the g*ns.

Of course I couldn't

risk them hurting it.

What are

you talking about?

I couldn't believe it

when I heard you say it,

that you wanted to

destroy the greatest thing

that we have ever created.

What we spent all

those years perfecting.

Perfecting?

Eric, that thing is dangerous.

It's completely out of control.

That's because we

haven't trained it yet.

But now we have a chance to.

We could teach you how to combat

against different targets.

Targets?

Yes.

The ones we have right here.

You're not serious.

I'm deadly serious.

We have a chance to

improve its skills,

to make it learn how to

combat against each of you.

This is our playing field

to prepare it for warfare.

And what better way to do that

then against real soldiers.

So then it's ready

to be used in battle.

Eric, this is insane.

We brought them here to k*ll it.

Not to send them out like

lambs to the slaughter.

That's what you wanted.

But I always planned to get

them here for this very reason.

I just went along

with what you wanted

to get them here

in the first place.

Now here you are.

Everything's worked

out perfectly.

Shall we make a start?

Eric, please.

Hands up.

Who wants to go first?

I said hands up!

Now we know who's

in control here.

Everybody get down

on your knees.

Do it.

Come on!

You down!

I said down on your knees.

I can't.

My knee's f*cked.

Yeah.

You're right.

You're the weakest one here.

So that means we

can use you first.

We start with a

vulnerable target.

Then we it up from there.

You're not gonna make me

go out there, are you?

I can't walk.

Here.

You can use this.

Eric, please don't do this.

Shut up!

Now you get up and

head over to the door.

But I-

Or you could choose

to die right here.

I'm always in need

of a fresh cadaver.

All right.

Don't make him do this.

He won't stand a

chance out there.

What does that matter?

This is all for a greater cause,

to get our weapon up to

its maximum potential.

Once it's fully developed

it can be indestructible.

Now move.

What is that?

It's a tracking device.

It will let me

know where you are

and when you've been terminated.

Terminated?

You didn't actually think

you were gonna make it

to freedom now did you?

Now move.

But where am I gonna go?

Anywhere.

Try and make it to

civilization if you wish.

Yeah, let's see how far you get.

Larry, hide, okay?

Don't let it find you.

That's a good idea.

A perfect way to train

up its tracking skills.

Yeah, you can find a

nice place out there.

Our first target

has been eliminated

and in record time.

Looks like a fishy friend

now has a taste for blood

and it's on the w*r path.

You k*lled him.

Correction.

I might have been

responsible for his death,

but I didn't k*ll

him personally.

There's a difference.

There's no difference,

you f*cking psycho.

Please, I'm a scientist.

I have no interest

in your morality.

You're wrong.

A true scientist

cares about morality.

They care about right and wrong

'cause without it you're

just f*cking inhumane.

Well, you know what?

I decided not long ago

that I really don't care

about humans anymore.

That the animal kingdom

has a far greater role

to play in this world

than mankind ever did.

And you know what my plans are?

I plan to use those

animals to destroy mankind.

Nation by nation.

Starting right here today,

you're to be part of history.

The last chapter in humanity.

Eric, what's happened to you?

This is not who you are.

You're acting like a

completely different person.

Wait, please tell

me you didn't test

those brain experiments

on yourself.

I had to.

I passed a few harmless

electromagnetic waves

through the old cerebral

cortex and it worked.

I've never felt so focused.

And whatever the hell you've

done has sent you insane.

No, I'm just trying to make

things right in the world.

So shall we move on?

Who are we going to choose next?

Clearly none of you are as weak

as our dear deceased

limping friend,

but we still need to

have some vulnerability.

Which one of you

has shown weakness?

It could be something physical

or even a flaw in their

mental well being.

Something like a

superiority complex.

What?

Me?

Yes, you.

I ain't got a

superiority complex.

I'm afraid you do.

I've been observing

you ordering everyone

around when you are

not the one in command.

Taking control of

everyone's decisions.

It all adds up.

I'm a natural leader.

All right, there's

nothing wrong with that.

Afraid it's more than just that.

I sense you were carrying

something from the past,

perhaps guilt of some kind.

Something you did in the army.

Something you just can't

forgive yourself for.

You see weakness

and that's why you're

next to go out there.

I ain't gonna do it.

Is that so?

Yeah.

You can threaten me all you like

'cause do you know what?

I know you are bluffing

'cause you haven't got the ba*ls

to pull that trigger yourself.

I guess you're right.

Am I bluffing now?

In case you didn't hear

me before, you're next!

-All right.

-Go.

Where's my weapon?

Your weapon can be your

natural leadership qualities.

Eric, no, you can't send

him out without a weapon.

He won't stand a chance.

He'll be fine.

He's a soldier.

You should be prepared

for any situation.

Now get going.

Walker.

What?

Good luck out there.

Thanks.

Ah, come on.

Come on, savage.

Eat me you f*ck.

Come on you f*ck.

Come on.

Yeah, come on.

Get here, you piece of garbage.

You f*cking piece of sh*t.

Ah!

Another heat signature

has gone gold,

Which means target number

two has been eliminated.

Such a shame.

I rather thought he would've

lasted a little longer.

Shall we move on to

our third target?

Do we have any volunteers?

Or would you like me

to choose for you?

Am I talking to myself here?

I'll go.

How very noble of you.

And we should

reward such bravery.

And indeed I shall reward it.

Therefore you will be

testing out its defenses.

Are you actually

gonna give me that

or is this some kind of joke?

No joke.

I told you we need

to prepare the weapon

for the b*ttlefield.

So it has to learn how to defend

against different weapons.

I mean, if you really

want to test its defenses,

maybe you should give me a g*n.

I think we all know

why I wouldn't do that.

I'm a scientist, not a moron.

Why you looking at

me with such hatred?

I'm not the reason

why you're here.

What does that mean?

I'm not the

one with the secrets.

What?

Now you get up.

Don't even think about

trying anything with it.

Or I'll sh**t your friends

right here and now,

allowing them some time

to bleed out first.

Make sure you get some

good use out of it.

I'll make good use of it.

First I'm gonna k*ll

your little pet.

Then I'm gonna come back here,

I'm gonna shove this

down your throat

and I'm gonna cut out

your f*cking heart,

you f*cking psycho!

A living autopsy.

I'm looking forward to it.

Brooks, please don't do this.

I need to do this.

If I don't go out there

and k*ll this thing,

it's gonna get you.

I won't let that happen.

When I'm done, I'll

come back for you.

I won't leave you behind.

Oh, for f*ck sake

just get going.

I've got another three

here to send out.

Don't worry, I'll get

this right back to you.

Good news, everyone.

Target number three

has been eliminated.

Paige.

Isn't that wonderful?

That proves that the

weapon is really learning.

It's fought against an

armed soldier and won.

It shows it's making

real progress.

So let's not give it

any time to regroup.

I think we should move

on to our next challenge.

Training it against two targets.

Eric, this has to stop.

You can't keep doing this.

We're already halfway

there, Jennifer.

It would be madness to stop now.

But think about this.

If you k*ll all

of us, what then?

What do you plan to do?

I've already told you my plans.

It's not my fault

if you don't listen.

So you're gonna take the weapon

and use it in w*r to

wipe out the human race.

-Correct.

-And how do you plan

to do that?

You and I both know it

can't be controlled.

It's one thing to send out

people one by one to be k*lled.

But when you try to come

to tame it for yourself,

you're not gonna stand a chance.

And I just know that

in spite of everything

that you've done,

you are just not

in your right state of mind.

I know that you could

still see reason.

Oh Jennifer, I

really am enjoying

your desperate attempt

to try and stop me.

The thing is, all that does

is show me your true colors,

how weak and pathetic

that you really are.

Eric, please.

And the thing is,

we're meant to be increasing

the threat to the weapon.

So you can see why I

have no use for you now.

Which makes you redundant.

Ah.

How emotional.

You look like you have

something you want to say.

Go on, say it.

I won't stop you.

Let it out how you feel.

No?

Nothing?

All right then.

Shall we carry on

where we were before?

Ah yes.

Together.

Were you really gonna leave

without saying goodbye?

Oh, you f*ck!

You tried to f*cking

melt my skin off.

You're f*cking getting

it, you f*cking b*tches.

freedom for you!

I knew about Hawkes.

I knew about Nesbitt.

I knew about that f*cking

creature and their experiments.

and I was successful,

she would promote me.

I didn't know it was this bad.
