Transcript

The beaches of LA, playground of America, until this beach turned into a living nightmare. You said creature. Why did you use that word? I don't know. What would you call it? Blood beach, man. Yeah, right on.

Blood beach. The beaches are weird, beef-ass cups. You've got the kids, the old people, The street fiddle is those singles. The crazies all lost in their own world. There was every form of human life on this beach.

Madras, Bermuda's, the bleeding madras. They were kind of old, but they were his favorite pair. They were still in good condition. But under the beach, there was this, I don't know, this horrible thing. And we still haven't figured it out.

What the hell are we looking for? I don't know. But maybe if we dig deep enough, we'll find out. We please always look for the obvious, but this wasn't normal. Nah, not even for California.

Doctors figure that there's been considerable brain damage. How considerable? Vegetable soup. When something like this is chasing you, you hope you find it before it finds you. If it's human, or even if it's animal, have a place to go back to.

Kind of bad way things change them and stuff. There was any hope we didn't have it. We didn't know a damn thing. It's when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, you can't get to it.

There comes a time when you throw out all the rules. And you make your moves. It's an okay place to visit. But I wouldn't want to die there. David Huffman, Mary Anna Hill, John Saxon, and Brooke Young as Lieutenant Guico.
