:45:04
Impossible.
:45:06
Look, you're a full colonel, right?
I assume you can read a map. Here.
:45:11
We are here at the dam, OK?
:45:13
Over here you'll see there's
a stream that feeds into it.
:45:17
Follow the stream back for an eighth
of a mile and you see there's a fork.
:45:21
Take this branch, follow it downstream,
:45:24
and you'll see it empties into the
river on the other side of the dam.
:45:28
In other words, the piranha have
a way to get around the obstacle.
:45:31
Even if there's a chance he's right,
don't you think you should do something?
:45:35
No. If a bypass exists, piranha haven't
the intelligence or the motivation to find it.
:45:40
But you know Hoak was breeding them
for endurance and intelligence and...
:45:46
- Well, Bob was a dreamer. He, er...
- Bob?
:45:51
Dr Hoak?
:45:53
You knew him?
:45:56
Fish genetics is a very small field.
:45:59
You were friends?
:46:03
Let's say we were
a great deal more than that.
:46:08
You're covering up.
:46:13
Is it Waxman? Are you afraid of what
the army might do to you if you...
:46:17
No, I'm not afraid. I'm a scientist.
I'm head of my department.
:46:21
It's just that there are priorities, and...
:46:26
some things are more important
than a few lives.
:46:29
That's not how Dr Hoak felt.
Not at the end.
:46:34
As I said, he was a dreamer.
:46:38
- The situation is under control.
- Hold on. What is this?
:46:42
Why won't you listen to me?
:46:44
Would you excuse us
for a moment, please?
:46:48
As far as you're concerned,
this project does not exist.
:46:52
The piranha do not exist.
:46:54
- And if I make a squawk?
- Paul...
:46:56
The interests of national security
permit extreme measures.
