JAWS

CHAPTER ONE 

Night Swim 

The shark moves slowly through the dark water. It swims towards the shore, with its eyes and mouth open.

Between the sea and the land there is a long beach. On the beach there is a light from a fire. Sitting around the fire is a group of young men and women. They are talking and laughing.

One young man is playing a guitar and singing. Others are holding hands or kissing.

One young man looks over the fire at a young woman. She is beautiful. Her hair is long and blond. She looks at the young man, too, and smiles.

The man gets up and walks over to the woman. He sits down and they begin to talk. The man is drinking beer and the woman is drinking whiskey with cola. It is late in the night, and they are both quite drunk.

After some time talking and laughing, the woman puts her lips very close to his ear and whispers, "Do you want to go for a swim?"

"First one to the water wins," the man says.

She gets up quickly and begins to run across the sand towards the sea. The man gets up more slowly. His head feels strange. 

"I drank too much," he says to himself.

The woman is far ahead of him now and running towards the water. The man tries to run after her, but he trips and falls in the sand. 

"Wait for me!" he shouts, but the woman does not hear him.

As the woman runs, she begins to take off her clothes. First her shoes, one at a time. Then she lifts up her shirt and throws it onto the sand. She is topless now, her breasts moving up and down as she runs.

She stops quickly to take off her shorts and now, completely nude, she steps into the water. 

The man trips again and lies on the cool sand. He is not able to get up now. His head is spinning around and around and his shirt is covering his face. 

"Wait...for...me…" he tries to say. Then he falls asleep. His snoring is very loud.

The water comes up around her feet. It is a warm June night, but the water feels cold.  

The woman calls back to the man. “Come and have a swim with me!” But there is no answer from him.

She runs into the sea, and soon the water is up to her shoulders. She begins to swim. She is not a strong swimmer, and her arms and legs are erratic in the water. 

The shark swims a hundred meters from the beach. It cannot see the woman - it cannot see anything in the dark water - but it feels the sea move. The vibrations from the woman’s movement reach the shark. It turns quickly and begins swimming towards the disturbance in the water.

The woman swims away from the beach. After a few minutes, she begins to feel tired and she stops for a short time. Then she turns and begins swimming back to the shore.

The woman does not see it, but the shark’s enormous dorsal fin cuts the surface of the water. The shark approaches the woman from behind. The huge shark drops below the surface and increases its speed. It is close to the woman now, passing her rapidly on her right and two meters below the surface of the water. 

The woman feels a wave of pressure that seems to lift her up and down in the water. She stops and holds her breath. She feels nothing more and continues to swim towards the light on the beach.

The shark begins to circle around the woman. It moves its tail in powerful strokes that agitate the small phosphorescent animals in the water. The shark’s body begins to glow with a terrifying green color.

For the first time, and without understanding why, the woman feels fear. She looks up and sees the firelight in the distance. She is about fifty meters from the beach. She can see the white waves hitting the shore. She begins to swim faster, her movements more erratic. 

The great fish turns suddenly to the left and dives deep below the surface. With two powerful strokes of its tail it reaches the woman and attacks.

The woman feels something hit her right leg. At first she thinks it is a rock or a piece of wood. There is no pain, only a strong pull on her leg. She stops swimming and reaches her hand into the water to touch her foot. 

She cannot find her foot.

She reaches towards her knee and she feels bone and skin and she knows the warm flow over her fingers is her own blood.Pain and panic arrive together. The woman screams a primordial cry of terror.

The fish swallows the leg without chewing. It turns and then turns again. Now it can smell the blood in the water. 

This time it attacks the woman from below. It swims up fast with its mouth open wide and then closes with incredible force on her torso, pushing her out of the water.

The great jaws break bones and cut skin and turn internal organs into a jelly. The shark falls back into the water with the woman in its mouth. 

There is a fountain of white water and red blood as the shark disappears below the surface. The fish shakes its massive head from side to side. Its serrated teeth cut through her body with little resistance. 

Her body falls into pieces. The great fish moves back and forth through the cloud of blood. Its mouth opens and closes slowly. It is looking for other pieces of its victim. Some of them sink to the bottom of the sea, and other parts move towards the shore in the slow current. A short time later it begins swimming away from the shore, satisfied with its meal.

The man opens his eyes. It is dark and he feels cold. He stands up and begins to dress. It is then he sees the woman's shoes and clothes on the beach. 

He picks up the shoes, shirt and shorts and begins walking back towards the fire. But she is not there. No one is there. 

As his head clears, he begins to feel the first sensations of worry.

CHAPTER TWO 

Body on the Beach

"Mr. Brody, this is Hendricks. We've got a problem. We received a call from a house on Old Mill Road a few minutes ago. A girl went out on the beach there last night and she didn't come back."

"What time is it?" Brody asks.

"Five-thirty. Sorry!"

"No, you were right to call. Tell me everything you know."

It is almost six-thirty when Brody drives his police car along Old Mill Road. He looks all along the beach but he does not see anything unusual. At eight o'clock Hendricks arrives, and the two policemen knock on the door of Jack Foote's house. A young man opens the door. "I'm Tom Cassidy," he says.

"I called you. Did you find her?"

"No, Mr Cassidy, we didn't find her," says Brody. "We're going to look on the beach now."

"I want to come, too," Cassidy responds.

The three men walk to the beach. "I went to sleep here," says Cassidy. “And I found the shoes here."

Brody looks up and down the beach. "Let's walk," he says.

"Come with me, Mr Cassidy. Leonard, can you walk back towards Mr. Foote's house?"

Hendricks takes his shoes off and begins to walk. After about fifteen minutes he turns and looks back. Brody and Cassidy are now a half kilometer away on the beach, so he begins to walk towards them. Suddenly Hendricks sees something in front of him. He walks quickly towards it and then stops. For a short time he does not move. Then he cries out. In front of him is a woman's head and some of her arm.

Brody and Cassidy run down the beach to Hendricks. Brody arrives first. He looks down and sees the woman. Then he closes his eyes. "Mr. Cassidy, is this her?"

Cassidy is very afraid. Then he looks down.

"Oh no!" he cries, and he puts his hand over his mouth.

"Is it her?"

He turns away. "Yes," he says. "What happened?”

"I don't know," says Brody. "But I think a shark attacked her."

That night Brody meets his friend Harry Meadows. Harry writes for the town's newspaper, “The Amity Leader”.

"I think it was a shark attack," says Brody.

"You're right," says Meadows. "This afternoon I talked to a young man called Matt Hooper. He knows everything about sharks."

"What did he say?"

"He thinks it's a Great White Shark. They call the Great White the ‘man-eater’. Other sharks don't usually attack people."

"Does he think it will attack again?"

"No. Hooper thinks this was an accident. He thinks the shark is now far away.” Meadows looks at Brody. "It's not going to happen again," he says. "And I'm not going to write about the accident in ‘The Amity Leader!’"

"But it's a big story for your newspaper."

"I know, Martin. But it's summer and this town must have visitors in the summer. People are afraid of sharks."

"That's true, Harry,” says Brody. “But I want to close the beaches for one or two days. And I want you to write the story."

Meadows sits back in his chair. "I can't do that, Harry," he says. "My bosses don't want me to. And I don't want to lose my job."

Ten minutes later, Lawrence P. Vaughan comes into Brody's office. Larry Vaughan is an old friend of Brody's. He buys and sells houses, and makes a lot of money. He is one of the most important people in the town. Vaughan sits down. "Please don't close the beaches," he says. "It will soon be the Fourth of July. That's our best weekend every summer."

"I don't want any more shark attacks," says Brody.

"There won't be any more shark attacks! But people will read about sharks in Amity, and they won't come here!"

Brody looks at his old friend. He likes Larry, but he does not see him much these days.

"OK," he says. "I don't like it, but I won't close the beaches."

Vaughan smiles for the first time. "Thanks, Martin," he says.

Brody arrives home two or three minutes before five. His wife, Ellen, is in the living room.

"Hello," she says. "What's wrong? Did something happen today?"

He goes and sits next to her.

"A shark killed a girl near Old Mill Beach."

She looks at him. “What are you going to do?"

“Nothing. Larry Vaughan doesn't want me to do anything. He wants the beaches to stay open."

---

CHAPTER THREE

No Time to Cry

The next few days are hot, and summer visitors from New York begin arriving in Amity.

Sunday is the twentieth of June. By twelve in the afternoon there are many people at Old Mill Beach. Children play near the water.

A boy of six walks up the beach. He sits down next to his mother.

“Can I go swimming?” he asks.

His mother turns to look at him. “No. It's too cold.”

“Can I go out on my raft? I won't go far. And I won't go swimming. I'll just sit on my raft.”

His mother sits up. She looks up and down the beach. Fifty meters away a man stands in the water. He has a child on his back.

“Yes. But don't go too far out. And don't swim.”

“OK,” he says. He pulls the little raft out into the water and climbs on to it.

The boy sits on his raft and looks back towards the beach. He puts his feet into the water and kicks towards the shore.

The shark swims under the water. It is sixty meters from the shore. It sees nothing, but it feels the sea move. It knows there is something near, and begins to swim up towards the surface. It moves slowly first, then faster.

The boy stops, and the shark swims below him. Then it turns again.

The shark swims up fast. Its mouth open.

The boy can not cry out - he has no time. The shark's head hits the raft and pushes it out of the water. Nearly half of the fish - with the boy and most of the raft in its mouth - come above the surface. Its jaws close together and cut off the boy's legs. They drop slowly down into the water.

On the beach the man with the child turns to his son and points at the sea. 'Did you see that?'

“What, Daddy?” His child looks up at him.

“Out there! A shark or something! Something very big!” The boy's mother opens her eyes. She looks over at the man, and sees him point at the water. People are running away from the sea.

She sits up. Suddenly she remembers. “Alex,” she says.

The phone rings. Brody gets up from his lunch and answers it. When he comes back he looks afraid and angry.

“What is it?” asks Ellen.

“A shark attack. On a child.”

“Oh no! And you didn't close the beaches…” She stops.

“Yes, I know,” he says. “I didn't do my job.”

Twenty minutes later Brody arrives at the police station. The boy's mother is in the office.

“I'm sorry,” says Brody.

The woman begins to cry.

Suddenly the door opens and Hendricks runs into the room. “Shark attack!” he cries.

“We know, Leonard,” says Brody. “This is the boy's mother.”

“Boy?” asks Hendricks. “What boy? This was a man, an old man. Five minutes ago.”

On Monday morning, Brody arrives at the police station soon after seven. He goes into his office and finds a newspaper on the desk. On the front of the newspaper it says, SHARK ATTACK KILLS TWO IN AMITY.

Brody sits down and begins to read the story.

“Is that newspaper from New York?”

Brody looks up and sees Meadows at the door. “Yes. Did you write about it, too?”

“I did,” answers Meadows. “And I spoke to Matt Hooper last night.”

“Does he think that one fish is doing all this?”

“He doesn't know, but he thinks it is. He thinks it's a Great White.”

“I do, too. I don't know a white shark from a green shark. But I think it's one fish. Can we do anything...?”

“Yes, there's one thing,” says Meadows. “We can put food in the water for the shark. That'll bring him to us.”

“But then what do we do?”

“We catch him. With a harpoon.”

“Harry, I don't have a police boat! And I don't have harpoons.”

“There are fishermen here. They have…” A noise outside the office stopps Meadows.

Suddenly the door opens, and a woman enters the room with a newspaper in her hand. She is the mother of Alex Kintner.

Hendricks comes up behind her and says, “I'm sorry, Mr Brody, I tried to stop her.”

“That's OK, Leonard,” says Brody. “Come in, Mrs Kintner.”

She walks up to Brody.

“I’m so sorry for your loss. Is there anything I can...?”

The woman hits him in the face with the newspaper. Brody jumps back. The newspaper falls to the floor. “You knew it was dangerous!” she cries. “You knew that the shark killed somebody on Thursday. But you didn't do anything.”

Brody does not answer for a second. Then he says, “Yes, it's true, but it's - Mrs. Kintner…”

The woman looks into Brody's eyes and begins to cry. “You killed Alex!” she said. “Why?”

“It's…” Brody does not have the words.

---

CHAPTER FOUR

Flicka

Brody sits on the beach and looks at the sea.

“Hello, Mr. Brody,” Hendricks says. He walks up to Brody. “What are you doing here?”

“Ben Gardner went out there this morning. He's looking for the shark. But I can't see him on his boat.”

“Was there anybody with him?”

“I don't know.”

“Do you want to go and see? It'll be light for two more hours. I can get a fast boat.”

Brody feels afraid. He is a very bad swimmer. “OK,” he says. 'You get the boat. I'll call his wife.”

Twenty minutes later Brody climbs into Hendricks' boat.

“What did she say?” asks Hendricks.

“Nothing. She called him on his radio, but there was no answer. Maybe he turned it off.”

“And there was nobody with him?”

“No.”

“I don't understand,” says Hendricks. “Why did he turn his radio off? People don't usually do that.”

Hendricks starts the boat, and they move out to sea. Gardner's boat is more than a kilometer from the shore. As they get nearer, Brody reads its name: “Flicka”.

When they are fifty meters from the Flicka, Hendricks slows the boat down.

Brody stands up and calls out, “Ben!” There is no answer.

The two men climb on to the fishing boat. “Are you here, Ben?” Again, there is no answer.

There is a sudden noise and Brody jumps. It is from the radio.

Brody looks at Hendricks. “He didn't turn off his radio.”

“I don't understand it, Mr. Brody. Did Ben fall overboard? But he's not in the water and he swims very well.”

Brody looks down into the water and sees four holes in the boat. “Look at these, Leonard. Can you see what made them?”

Hendricks goes down into the sea and looks at the holes. After a few seconds, he looks up and says, “Do you have a knife?”

Brody gives Hendricks a knife. “What can you see?” he asks.

“I don't know. Something white in one of the holes.”

Hendricks puts his head back down into the water. After a short time, he comes up and says, “OK. I've got it.”

Brody helps Hendricks back on to the boat and Hendricks drops something big and white into Brody's hand.

“It's a tooth!” says Hendricks. “Oh no! Do you think the shark got Ben?”

Brody does not answer. He looks at the tooth again. Then he puts it in his bag. “We can't do anything here now,” he says.

It is nearly dark when they get back. Harry Meadows meets them. He has a young man with him.

“This is Matt Hooper, Martin. What did you find out there?”

Brody tells them about the boat. Then he takes out the tooth and hands it to Hooper.

“What is it, Matt?” asks Meadows.

Hooper looks at the tooth. “It's from a very big Great White Shark.”

“What do you think happened?”

“I think this fish killed Mr. Gardner.”

“How?” says Brody.

“Maybe he fell overboard. Maybe the fish pulled him over.”

“What about the tooth in the boat?”

“The fish attacked the boat.”

“What for?”

“Sharks are not very clever, Mr. Brody. They try to eat everything.”

“But a boat...!”

“A shark doesn't think. To him it wasn't a boat. It was something big in the water. Remember that sharks are afraid of nothing in the sea. They attack anything.”

“And why is he staying around here for so long?”

“I don't know. It's unusual, but sharks are unusual. We don't understand much about them. But I can try and find this shark. Can I have a boat?”

“Yes, I'm sorry to say,” says Brody. “Ben Gardner's. We'll get you out to it tomorrow. Do you think you can catch that fish?”

“I'm not going to catch it.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I don't know. I'll see.”

Brody looks into Hooper's eyes and says, “I want somebody to kill that fish.”

Hooper laughs. “Who are you going to get to do the job?”

“There's a fisherman called Quint,” says Meadows. “But I don't know much about him. He works somewhere near Promised Land Beach.”

Hooper says, “Look, Mr. Brody, this is only a shark!”

Brody begins to feel angry. Hooper does not understand!

The next day Larry Vaughan meets Brody and Hooper. “Hello, Martin. I heard about Ben Gardner. What are you going to do?”

“We closed the beaches down.”

“I know that! Nobody is coming to Amity now.”

“So what do you want me to do?” says Brody.

“I thought... Can we open the beaches for the Fourth of July weekend?”

“No, we cannot.”

“Now listen…”

“No, you listen, Larry. I listened to you before, and two people died. We're going to catch that fish. Then we'll open the beaches.”

“But this town is dying!”

“I know, Larry,” says Brody. “But we can do nothing about it.”

---

CHAPTER FIVE

Shark!

The next weekend Amity is very quiet. The beaches do not open.

Hooper goes up and down the shore in Ben Gardner's boat. “I don't think that shark is here,” he tells Brody on Sunday night. “There are other fish near the beaches. And other fish don't stay in the water near Great White Sharks.”

“Maybe you’re right,” says Brody. “But I want the beaches to stay closed.”

On Thursday morning Larry Vaughan calls Brody into his office. Hooper is there, and there are some other important men from the town.

Everybody sits around a table. Then Vaughan says, “Martin, we want you to open the beaches. The town is dying. People are losing their jobs.”

"And what do we do about the shark?" asks Brody.

Vaughan says, “Mr. Hooper will tell us about that."

"I don't think the shark will come back," says Hooper.

"I'm sorry,” says Brody. "I'm not opening the beaches."

Larry Vaughan is very angry. “The people of this town gave you your job. You work for us."

Brody says, “You can have my job any time you want it."

The phone rings on Vaughan's desk. He looks very angry but he picks it up. "It's for you, Martin," he says.

Brody goes outside to take the call. It is from Harry Meadows.

“What's happening?" asks Harry.

“They want me to open the beaches," says Brody. “What should I do, Harry?"

“Open them."

“But why!”

"I think Hooper is right. And Vaughan is going to open the beaches. You can't stop him."

“OK," says Brody. "I'll think about it. Thanks for the call." He puts down the phone and goes back into Vaughan's office.

Brody looks at his old friend. "I'll open the beaches," he says.

“Thanks, Martin."

"I'm not finished. I'll open the beaches, but Hooper will go up and down in the boat. I want everybody to know the danger."

“You can't do that!” Vaughan says.

"I can do it, Larry, and I will."

On Saturday morning, Brody stands on the Scotch Road Beach.

About a kilometer out to sea Hooper is in Ben Gardner's old boat. Brody watches it move slowly to the east.

Brody takes out his radio and says, “Hooper, this is Brody. Is there anything out there?" There was no answer. “Hooper, this is Brody. Can you hear me?"

A short time later Hooper answers. “Sorry," he says. "I thought I saw something. The light is very strong out here."

It is a sunny day. Most of the people on the beach are young. Nobody is in the sea.

A man and woman come over to Brody. They are very fat. Behind them are two fat children.

“Can I help you?" Brody asks.

"Is this the beach with the shark?" asks the man. "I saw it on TV."

“There was a shark here," says Brody. “But it isn't here now. And with any luck, it won't come back."

The family goes away. They are not happy. Brody looks at his watch. It is 12:15.

By 2:30 there are not many people on the beach. Brody walks down towards the water. A boy walks past.

“What are you doing?" Brody asks the boy.

"I'm going swimming."

“Don't stay in the water too long."

"I won't." The boy runs into the water and begins to swim.

Brody watches him swim out a hundred meters.

Suddenly the Flicka begins to move faster. Brody puts his radio to his mouth and says, “Can you see something, Hooper?"

The boat slows and then stops. Another of Brody's policemen hears him speak. “What's happening?" he asks.

“I don't know,” says Brody. Again he says into the radio, “Can you see anything, Hooper?"

“Yes. I can see something," Hooper answers.

“What is it?"

"I don't know... Maybe my eyes are tired."

“There's a boy swimming out there," says Brody. “Where?" asks Hooper. "About fifty meters out. I'll tell him to come in." Brody turns the radio off. Then he puts his hands to his mouth and calls out, “Come in!”

The boy does not hear him. Brody turns on the radio. “Hooper, he can't hear me. Can you tell him to come in?"

“OK,” says Hooper. "I'll be there in a minute."

The boat moves towards the boy. Below the water the shark feels something move in the sea. It turns and follows the boat.

The boy stops swimming. He looks back to the shore.

Brody calls out again, “Come in!” Now the boy hears him and he begins to swim for the shore.

Hooper, in the Flicka, follows the boy. The boy looks back. “What's wrong?" he says.

“Nothing," says Hooper. “Go back to the beach."

The boy swims for twenty meters and then stands up in the water. He begins to walk towards the shore.

Suddenly Hooper cries out, “Shark! Get the boy out! Quick!” The boy hears Hooper and tries to run. He falls into the water. Brody runs into the water, but the sea pushes him back.

The boy moves fast now. He does not see the shark behind him.

“Quick!” says Brody. He runs into the water and pulls the boy out.

The shark goes under again and swims away from the shore.

The boy lays on the beach. "Are you OK?" Brody asks.

"I want to go home," says the boy.

A man from the TV runs up to Brody and the boy. “Can you do that again?" he says. “We didn't get very good pictures."

Brody is very angry. “Go away!” he says. “Everybody go home! I want nobody to go near the water. This beach is closed."

---

CHAPTER SIX

Quint

“What do you think, Harry?" asks Brody. “Can this man Quint help us?"

"We can try him," says Meadows. "We don't have anything to lose."

"I don't think he can help," says Hooper. 

“Do you have a better plan?" asks Brody. When Hooper does not answer, Brody picks up a phone book. “Here it is. There's only one ‘Quint’. And he doesn't have a first name."

Brody calls the number.

“Mr. Quint, this is Martin Brody from Amity Police. We have a problem."

"I know."

“The shark was here again today.”

“Did it kill anybody?"

'No, but it nearly took a boy.”

"It's a big fish. It eats a lot of food."

“Can you help us?" asks Brody. “This fish is killing people."

"I'll try to kill it for you," says Quint. “But it'll be four hundred dollars a day.”

“That's a lot of money!” says Brody. “There are other fishermen, you know."

Quint laughs. “Yes, you sent somebody out last week. And he's dead."

“Can you start tomorrow?"

"I need two men to help me."

Brody does not want to help. He does not want to go in a boat again. But he says, "I'll be there."

Quint laughs again. “Can you swim?"

“Yes. Why?"

“People sometimes fall overboard. And I want a second man."

Brody turns to Hooper. “Do you want to come?"

“Yes," says Hooper. "I want to see that fish."

---

CHAPTER SEVEN

Meat in the Water

They leave at six in the morning. It is a very hot day and they sit out in the sun. Hooper sleeps in a chair with a hat over his face. Brody drops food for the shark into the water. Quint sits next to a fishing line and watches the sea.

Suddenly Quint says, "We've got a visitor."

The three men stand up. “Help me pull the line in," says Quint.

They pull the line out of the water. There is nothing on it. "I think that was your friend," says Quint. “He broke our line."

"What do we do now?" says Brody.

"We wait. Maybe he'll take the other line."

They wait. Nothing moves on the surface of the water. Then something pulls the second line.

The line stops moving.

“He did it again," says Quint. "We'll try a stronger line."

Quint drops a thicker line into the water. “Come on!” he cries. "I want to see you."

"Will he break this line, too?" asks Brody.

“Yes, I think so," says Quint. "We can't stop him. I’m trying to bring him to the surface."

The three men watch the line for a time. Brody moves towards the back of the boat and drops more meat into the water. Suddenly he sees something to his left.

The head of the shark is above the surface. It is three meters behind the boat and a meter out of the water. It is a massive creature.

Brody turns to Quint and says, “You’re going to need a bigger boat.”

Quint and Hooper look at Brody and then look in the water behind the boat. The shark is there at the surface. The three men see its two black eyes and its half-open mouth. And they see its teeth...

“Get a harpoon!” cries Quint.

Brody moves quickly to get the harpoon. At the same time the shark goes back under the water.

"What a fish!” cries Hooper. “His head was two meters across. How big was he?"

"It's hard to say," says Quint. “Maybe eight meters. Maybe more."

"I hope he comes back!” says Hooper.

“Did he smile at us?" asks Brody.

“No! His mouth was open," says Quint. “Remember, he's only a fish."

"What do we do now?" asks Brody. “Do we drop in more fish food for him?"

“No," says Quint. "We got him to the surface once. He'll be back."

Suddenly a noise in the water makes Hooper turn.

“Look," says Quint.

The shark is ten meters from the boat, coming straight towards it.

"It's attacking the boat!' cries Brody.

“Hand me the harpoon," says Quint.

The shark comes very near. It looks at Hooper with one of its black eyes. Then it swims past below the boat. Quint picks up the harpoon.

“Behind you!” cries Hooper. “He went under the boat."

Quint turns and points the harpoon. The shark moves away from the boat and begins to swim down. Quint sits down and laughs.

“That was lucky," he says. “He didn't attack the boat." He looks at Brody. "Are you OK?"

"I don't understand it," says Brody. He thought about the young woman, Chrissie, and the boy, Alex Kintner. “That thing isn't a fish."

Hooper claps his hands together. There is a smile on his face. He is very happy. "Did you see that? What a fish! It's beautiful!'

“Do you think he'll come back?" asks Brody.

"I don't know," says Quint. “You never know what a shark is going to do."

They wait for three hours, but the fish doesn't come back. At five o'clock Quint says, “Let's finish for today. I don't like to be out in this boat at night."

Brody smiles. “Yes, my wife doesn't like me to work at night!” he says.

"I don't have a wife," says Quint.

---

CHAPTER EIGHT

Black Eyes

“You're not putting that thing on my boat," says Quint.

The boat is ready to go. Quint has his back to it. In front of him Brody and Hooper stand next to a big cage. The cage is over two meters tall and two meters across.

"Why not?" asks Hooper.

"It's too big," says Quint. "What is it?"

"It's a shark cage," says Hooper. "I want to put it in the water and get into it. I want to take some pictures of that fish."

“No," says Quint. “Not on my boat."

"Why not?"

“Because it's too dangerous. The fish will eat that cage for breakfast."

"I don't think he will. And I want those pictures."

“He says you can't," says Brody. “Forget it. We're going out there to kill that fish."

“You can't stop me," says Hooper.

“Oh yes, I can. The town of Amity is paying for this."

Hooper says to Quint. "I'll pay you."

Quint smiles. “How much?"

"I said no!” says Brody.

But Hooper does not listen to Brody. He says to Quint. "A hundred dollars."

Hooper gives Quint the money. Brody is very angry, but he does not want to lose more time. He says to Quint, “Let's go."

Quint takes the boat out into the sea. Brody sits next to him. "Are we going back to the same place?" he asks Quint.

“Yes. We'll be there soon."

“Will the fish be there?"

"Who knows? But it's the only thing we can do. Sharks are not clever."

Brody remembers the face of the shark. "I don't know," he says. “That fish was clever yesterday.”

“No. He doesn't know what he's doing. Fish do different things sometimes. But I know everything they can do."

“Can you catch every fish?"

“No. But not because they're clever. Sometimes they're not hungry. Or you can give them the wrong fish food."

Quint is quiet for a time. Then he speaks again. “Once," he says, “a shark nearly caught me. It was about twenty years ago. I had a blue shark on the line and he pulled me overboard with him."

"What did you do?"

"I came up fast. I was lucky.”

Quint slows the boat down. Suddenly it is quiet. “OK, Hooper," he says. “Start throwing the fish food overboard."

By ten o'clock there is a light wind. The men sit and watch the sea. They say nothing. Hooper drops meat into the sea.

Brody gets up to get a drink. Suddenly Quint says, “There he is."

Hooper jumps up and says, “Yes! There he is!”

"Where?" asks Brody.

“There," says Quint. “Behind you."

Brody looks out to sea. The shark is forty meters away. "What are we going to do?"

“Nothing," says Quint. "We'll wait. Hooper, drop more fish food in the sea. Let's bring him in here."

Quint picks up a harpoon. The fish swims around the boat. Then it moves nearer.

“Come here, fish," says Quint. “Come here."

But the fish does not come nearer.

"I don't understand," says Quint. “Throw some food into the water. And throw some bottles, too."

"Why bottles?" asks Brody.

“Perhaps he'll swim towards them. We want him to come nearer."

They throw things into the water. The shark moves nearer. Ten meters from the boat it stops. Suddenly its head comes up above the surface.

“Fish!” Quint calls. “Come here. We've got something for you!”

For a short time the shark watches them with its black eyes. Then its head goes back below the water.

"Where did he go?" asks Brody.

"I think he's coming now," says Quint. “Come on, fish!” he says. “Come and get your dinner!” He points the harpoon down at the water.

Suddenly the boat moves below them. The three men fall over.

They get up and look overboard. But there is nothing there.

"Where is he now?" says Brody.

"I don't know," says Quint. “But he'll come back."

“Let's put the cage overboard," says Hooper.

“No!” says Brody.

"It might bring him out. And I want to go down in it," says Hooper. "What do you say, Quint?"

“OK," says Quint. “You paid for it." He puts down the harpoon, and he and Hooper push the cage overboard. The three men look into the water.

“Do you think the fish will come up?" says Brody.

"I think he'll come and look at the cage," says Hooper.

But the shark does not come up. After fifteen minutes, Hooper says, "I'm going down there. Maybe that'll bring him up."

"Wait for the fish," says Quint. “He'll come up."

"I don't want to wait ten years for him, Quint! I don't think you understand this fish."

Quint looks at Hooper. "Are you saying I don't know my job?"

“No. But I think I can kill the fish."

“OK. Go and do it then."

Brody says, "We can't let him go down in that thing."

But Quint does not listen. “Go on," he says to Hooper. “Get in the cage."

Hooper gets into the cage and they drop it overboard. It stops two meters below the surface.

Quint picks up the harpoon.

"Will he be OK?" asks Brody. "I don't think he'll live for ten minutes down there."

“Maybe you're right. But you never know what these fish will do."

"I know, but this is different. This is like putting your hand into a fire."

CHAPTER NINE

Cage

Below the surface Hooper looks for the shark. He knows that Quint is wrong. The shark is not below the boat. It does not “sit” in any one place. Sharks never stop moving.

Hooper turns slowly in the cage. He looks but sees nothing. A small fish swims towards his face. He pushes it out of the cage.

He looks down and starts to look away. Then suddenly he sees something. The shark swims slowly towards him. Hooper watches it. What a beautiful fish!

It comes nearer, and Hooper moves back. The shark's head is now only about a meter from the cage. It turns and begins to swim in front of Hooper's eyes.

Hooper puts his hand out and touches it. It feels cold and hard.

The shark begins to move away from the cage.

"What's he doing down there?" Brody asks.

Quint does not answer. He stands with his harpoon in his hand. He looks down at the water. “Come up, fish," he says. “Come to Quint."

“Do you see it?" asks Brody. "What's it doing?"

“Nothing."

Hooper begins taking photographs. He watches the shark turn towards him. It moves fast with its mouth open. He waits for the shark to turn again.

But the shark does not turn. It hits the cage and makes a hole in it. Hooper falls back.

"It's attacking!” cries Brody. He tries to pull the cage out of the water. “Throw the harpoon!”

"I can't throw it! I have to get him to the surface first. Come up! Come up!”

The shark moves back out of the cage. Hooper tries to get to the surface. He sees the hole in the cage.

The shark pushes its head through the hole again. Hooper moves to the back of the cage. The shark pushes again, and Hooper sees its teeth.

The jaws of the shark close around him. Hooper pushes his hand into the black eye and thinks, "I'm going to die..."

“He's got him!” cries Brody. “Do something!”

“The man is dead," Quint says.

“How do you know?"

“He's dead."

The shark leaves the cage, and drops down a meter. Then it swims up towards the surface.

“He's coming up!” says Brody.

The shark hits the surface five meters from the boat. It carries Hooper in its mouth. Quint throws the harpoon. But the shark begins to swim down into the water, and the harpoon goes over it. The shark drops below the surface.

"What do we do now?" asks Brody.

"We'll go back," says Quint. “For now."

“But why do you want to come back? That fish is too strong for us!”

"I'm going to kill that thing," says Quint.

"I don't think I can get more money for you."

“This is not about money.”

"What are you saying?" Brody looks at Quint.

"I'm going to kill that fish. Do you want to come with me?"

Brody looks into Quint's eyes. They are as dark as the eyes of the shark. "I'll come," says Brody.

Brody arrives home late that night. He tells Ellen about Hooper. She is very sad.

"It's over now," she says.

Brody does not answer for a time. Then he says, "We're going out tomorrow. At six o'clock."

"Why?" cries Ellen. "What can you do?"

"We're going to catch the fish, and kill it."

“Do you think you can?"

"I don't know. But Quint thinks we can. And it's my job to help him."

“But it's not your job!” She is very angry and very afraid. She begins to cry.

Brody says nothing. Then he says, “No, you're right."

“Then why?"

"I don't think I can tell you," says Brody. "I don't think I know."

---

CHAPTER TEN

Fight to the Finish

The next morning it rains. Brody meets Quint at the boat.

"Is it only me and you this time?" says Brody.

“Yes," says Quint. “You know this fish as well as any man. Nobody can help us now."

Quint turns the boat out to sea. After ten minutes he slows it down. Brody looks back towards the shore. "We're not out as far today," he says. "We can't be more than three kilometers from the shore."

“That's right."

“So why are you stopping?"

Quint points to the shore. "I don't think he'll go out far today," he says. "I think he'll be somewhere between here and Amity."

Quint stops the boat and Brody begins dropping meat into the sea. Quint throws a line overboard. Then he puts a barrel on a harpoon line.

“OK," says Quint. “Now we wait."

An hour goes by. Nothing happens. Brody stands up and looks overboard. Suddenly he sees the head of the shark, with its black eyes and open jaws. It is less than two meters away! “Oh no!” Brody cries. “He's here!”

Quint jumps up. The shark's head drops back into the water. A minute later, it hits the boat. The boat moves up and down. Then the shark goes under again and the boat stops moving.

“He waited for us!” cries Brody. “How did he...?"

"I don't know," says Quint. "We've got him now."

"We've got him? Did you see what he did to the boat? He's got us, I say!”

The line moves, and there are noises from under the boat.

Quint stands and picks up a harpoon gun. “He'll be back soon."

The boat moves again.

Quint puts his head overboard, and cries, “Come out from under there!”

"What's he doing?" Brody asks.

“He's making a hole in the boat. Look, the water's coming in... Come out and I'll kill you!”

The shark comes to the surface, and begins to move towards the boat.

“Come to me," says Quint. “Come to me." He stands and watches the shark. When it is a meter from the boat, he fires the gun.

The harpoon hits the shark. And then the shark hits the boat, hard. Quint falls back and his head hits a chair. He jumps to his feet again and cries, "I got you!"

The harpoon line goes overboard. It pulls the barrel into the water with it.

“He took it down with him!” says Brody.

“Not for long," says Quint. “He'll be back! When he comes, we'll throw harpoons at him again and again and again. And then we'll have him!”

Quint watches the water. “Get another barrel," he says. “Bring it back here."

Brody runs to the front of the boat and gets a barrel. He carries it over to Quint.

“Here he comes!” says Quint. He points down to the left. The barrel comes to the surface and moves in the water. Quint picks up a harpoon. “He's coming up!”

The shark jumps out of the water. It is less than three meters from the boat.

"I'll get you!” cries Quint, and he throws the second harpoon. The harpoon hits the shark and it falls back into the sea. Water comes over the boat.

The second line goes overboard. "We've got him!” says Quint.

The boat moves once and then again. They hear the sound of something breaking.

“Do you want to attack again?" Quint asks the shark. “You won't take any man with you!”

Quint starts the boat, and they begin moving away.

"Is the boat OK?" says Brody.

“He made a hole under us," says Quint. “But we'll be OK."

“That's it then," Brody says happily. “The fish is dead."

“No," says Quint. “Look."

Brody looks back and sees the two yellow barrels in the sea behind them.

"Why is he coming after us? Does he think we're food?"

“No. He wants to fight us."

For the first time, Quint is afraid.

“Do sharks usually do this?"

“No," says Quint. “They sometimes attack the boat. But they stop after you hit them with a harpoon. But this one wants to fight. So we'll fight him!”

Quint drives the boat faster. The barrels follow them. He slows the boat and picks up a third harpoon. “OK!” he calls. “Come and get it!”

The barrels move through the water. They are forty meters away, then thirty, then twenty. Brody sees the shark swim past the boat below the water. It is two meters from the surface. “He's here!” he cries.

The shark swims past the boat. After forty meters it turns. Its head comes out of the water, and then drops back in. “Here he comes!” says Quint.

The shark hits the boat and Quint throws his harpoon. It hits the shark in the head, over the right eye. The line goes slowly overboard.

"I got him in the head!” says Quint.

But the barrels move on across the surface of the water. Then they go under.

"What's he doing?" says Quint. “No fish can attack with three harpoons in him! But he can't live for much longer. And we can wait!”

For three hours they wait. They watch the barrels move slowly across the surface of the sea.

At eleven o'clock the rain stops. Then for nearly an hour the barrels do not move.

"What do you think?" says Brody. "Is he dead?"

"I don't think so. But perhaps we can pull him in with a strong line."

They begin to pull him in. The shark is very heavy. The barrels do not move.

Then suddenly the line starts coming at them fast.

“Did the line break?" says Brody.

“No!” says Quint. Brody sees he is afraid. “He's coming up."

Quint starts the boat. But it is too late.

The shark comes up above the surface. Brody watches it jump, and cries out.

The shark drops down onto the back of the boat, and pushes it below the surface. The water comes up their legs.

The shark is now only a meter from Brody's head. He looks into its big black eye and thinks, "I'm going to die..."

“Look what you did to my boat!” cries Quint as he falls onto his back. The boat starts going down with the weight of the shark on it. 

With one final effort, Quint throws the last harpoon towards the shark. It hits the shark in the face above its black eye.

Quint begins to slip down towards the shark’s open mouth. Its jaws open and close in a terrible rhythm.

Quint screams and kicks the shark in the head, but it is too late. The shark moves its head and closes its jaws over Quint’s legs. Quint screams a terrible scream!

Brody tries to help him, but he can't do anything for him. The shark begins to fall back into the water with the harpoons in its body and Quint in its mouth. The big fisherman goes slowly down, under the dark water.

For a short time there is no sound. The water is up to Brody's shoulders now. Twenty meters away the shark comes back up above the surface. “Go away!” cries Brody.

The big fish comes nearer and nearer. Brody cries out. Then he closes his eyes and waits.

Nothing happens. When Brody opens his eyes he sees the shark there next to him. For a short time it does not move. Then it slowly falls back below the surface of the water, down and down, out of the light. Quint’s lifeless body is still in its mouth.

Brody watches the dead shark fall down and down into the sea. The barrels prevent the monster from sinking to the bottom.

Brody takes out a small knife he keeps on his belt and cuts the lines. He ties the lines together and uses the barrels as a raft. Then he begins to swim towards the shore.

Tubarão

CHAPTER ONE
Capítulo Um 

Night Swim
Mergulho Noturno

The shark moves slowly through the dark water.
O tubarão se move lentamente pela água escura.

It swims towards the shore, with its eyes and mouth open.
Ele nada em direção ao litoral, com seus olhos e boca abertos.

Between the sea and the land there is a long beach.
Entre o mar e a terra há uma praia comprida.

On the beach there is a light from a fire.
Na praia há uma luz de uma fogueira. 

Sitting around the fire is a group of young men and women.
Sentados ao redor da fogueira há um grupo de jovens. 

They are talking and laughing.
Eles estão conversando (falando) e rindo. 

One young man is playing a guitar and singing.
Um jovem está tocando violão e cantando. 

Others are holding hands or kissing.
Outros estão segurando as mãos ou se beijando. 

One young man looks over the fire at a young woman.
Um jovem olha por cima da fogueira para uma jovem mulher. 

She is beautiful. Her hair is long and blond.
Ela é linda. O cabelo dela é comprido e louro. 

She looks at the young man, too, and smiles.
Ela olha para o jovem também, e sorri. 

The man gets up and walks over to the woman.
O homem se levanta e anda até a mulher. 

He sits down and they begin to talk.
Ele se senta e eles começam a conversar. 

The man is drinking beer and the woman is drinking whiskey with cola.
O homem está bebendo cerveja e a mulher está bebendo whisky com soda. 

It is late in the night, and they are both quite drunk.
É tarde de noite, e eles dois estão bem bêbados.

After some time talking and laughing, the woman puts her lips very close to his ear and whispers, "Do you want to go for a swim?"
Depois de algum tempo falando e rindo, a mulher coloca seus lábios muito perto da orelha dele e sussurra, "Você quer dar um mergulho?"

"First one to the water wins," the man says.
"O primeiro na água vence," o homem diz. 

She gets up quickly and begins to run across the sand towards the sea.
Ela se levanta rapidamente e começa a correr pela areia em direção ao mar.

The man gets up more slowly.
O homem se levanta mais devagar. 

His head feels strange.
Sua cabeça está estranha. 

"I drank too much," he says to himself.
"Eu bebi demais," ele fala para si mesmo. 

The woman is far ahead of him now and running towards the water.
A mulher está muito à frente dele agora e correndo para a água. 

The man tries to run after her, but he trips and falls in the sand.
O homem tenta correr atrás dela, mas ele tropeça e cai na areia. 

"Wait for me!" he shouts, but the woman does not hear him.
"Espere por mim!" ele grita, mas a mulher não o ouve. 

As the woman runs, she begins to take off her clothes.
Enquanto a mulher corre, ela começa a tirar suas roupas.

First her shoes, one at a time.
Primeiro seus sapatos, um de cada vez. 

Then she lifts up her shirt and throws it onto the sand.
Depois ela levanta sua blusa e a joga na areia. 

She is topless now, her breasts moving up and down as she runs.
Ela está sem camisa agora, seus seios se movendo para cima e para baixo enquanto ela corre. 

She stops quickly to take off her shorts and now, completely nude, she steps into the water.
Ela para rapidamente para tirar seu short e agora, completamente nua, ela pisa dentro d'água. 

The man trips again and lies on the cool sand.
O homem tropeça de novo e cai deitado na areia fresca.

He is not able to get up now.
Ele não consegue se levantar agora. 

His head is spinning around and around and his shirt is covering his face.
Sua cabeça está girando, dando voltas, e sua camisa está cobrindo seu rosto.

"Wait...for...me…" he tries to say.
"Espera...por...mim.." ele tenta dizer. 

Then he falls asleep. His snoring is very loud.
Logo ele cai no sono. Seu ronco é muito alto. 

The water comes up around her feet.
A água cobre seus pés. 

It is a warm June night, but the water feels cold.  
É uma noite de junho quente, mas a água está fria.

The woman calls back to the man. “Come and have a swim with me!”
A mulher chama de volta o homem."Vem nadar comigo!" 

But there is no answer from him.
Mas não há resposta dele.

She runs into the sea, and soon the water is up to her shoulders.
Ele corre para o mar, e logo a água cobre seus ombros. 

She begins to swim.
Ela começa a nadar. 

She is not a strong swimmer, and her arms and legs are erratic in the water.
Ela não é uma grande nadadora, e seus braços e pernas estão erráticos na água.

The shark swims a hundred meters from the beach.
O tubarão nada a cem metros da praia. 

It cannot see the woman - it cannot see anything in the dark water - but it feels the sea move.
Ele não pode ver a mulher - ele não pode ver nada na água escura - mas ele sente a água se mover. 

The vibrations from the woman’s movement reach the shark.
As vibrações do movimento da mulher alcança o tubarão. 

It turns quickly and begins swimming towards the disturbance in the water.
Ele se vira rapidamente e começa a nadar em direção à perturbação na água.

The woman swims away from the beach.
A mulher nada para longe da praia.

After a few minutes, she begins to feel tired and she stops for a short time.
Após alguns minutos, ela começa a se sentir cansada e para por um pequeno tempo.

Then she turns and begins swimming back to the shore.
Depois ela volta e começa a nadar de volta para a beira do mar. 

The woman does not see it, but the shark’s enormous dorsal fin cuts the surface of the water.
A mulher não o vê, mas a enorme barbatana dorsal do tubarão corta a superfície da água. 

The shark approaches the woman from behind.
O tubarão se aproxima da mulher por trás. 

The huge shark drops below the surface and increases its speed.
O enorme tubarão mergulha abaixo da superfície e aumenta sua velocidade.

It is close to the woman now, passing her rapidly on her right and two meters below the surface of the water.
Ele está perto da mulher agora, passando rapidamente por seu lado direito e dois metros abaixo da superfície.

The woman feels a wave of pressure that seems to lift her up and down in the water.
A mulher sente uma onda de pressão que parece levantá-la para cima e para baixo na água.

She stops and holds her breath.
Ela para e prende sua respiração. 

She feels nothing more and continues to swim towards the light on the beach.
Ela não sente mais nada e continua a nadar em direção à luz na praia. 

The shark begins to circle around the woman.
O tubarão começa a circular em torno da mulher. 

It moves its tail in powerful strokes that agitate the small phosphorescent animals in the water.
Ele move sua cauda em movimentos potentes que agitam os pequenos animais fosforescentes na água.

The shark’s body begins to glow with a terrifying green color.
O corpo do tubarão começa a brilhar com uma aterrorizante cor verde. 

For the first time, and without understanding why, the woman feels fear.
Pela primeira vez, e sem entender porque, a mulher sente medo.

She looks up and sees the firelight in the distance.
Ela olha para cima e vê a luz da fogueira à distância. 

She is about fifty meters from the beach.
Ela está a uns cinquenta metros da praia.

She can see the white waves hitting the shore.
Ela pode ver as ondas brancas batendo na areia.

She begins to swim faster, her movements more erratic.
Ela começa a nadar mais rápido, seus movimentos mais erráticos.

The great fish turns suddenly to the left and dives deep below the surface.
O grande peixe vira de repente à esquerda e mergulha profundo em baixo da superfície.

With two powerful strokes of its tail it reaches the woman and attacks.
Com dois poderosos movimentos da sua cauda ele alcança a mulher e ataca.

The woman feels something hit her right leg.
A mulher sente alguma coisa bater em sua perna direita.

At first she thinks it is a rock or a piece of wood.
Em princípio ela pensa ser uma rocha ou um pedaço de madeira. 

There is no pain, only a strong pull on her leg.
Não há dor, só um forte puxão em sua perna. 

She stops swimming and reaches her hand into the water to touch her foot.
Ela para de nadar e estende a sua mão na água para tocar seu pé. 

She cannot find her foot.
Ela não consegue achar seu pé.

She reaches towards her knee and she feels bone and skin and she knows the warm flow over her fingers is her own blood.
Ela estende sua mão em direção ao seu joelho e ela sente osso e pele e ela sabe que o fluxo quente sobre seus dedos é seu próprio sangue. 

Pain and panic arrive together.
Dor e pânico chegam juntos.

The woman screams a primordial cry of terror.
A mulher grita um grito primordial de terror. 

The fish swallows the leg without chewing.
O peixe engole a perna sem mastigar.

It turns and then turns again.
Ele se vira e se vira novamente. 

Now it can smell the blood in the water.
Agora ele pode sentir o cheiro de sangue na água. 

This time it attacks the woman from below.
Essa vez ele ataca a mulher por baixo.

It swims up fast with its mouth open wide and then closes with incredible force on her torso, pushing her out of the water.
Ele nada para cima rápido com sua boca larga aberta e então fecha com uma força inacreditável em seu tronco, impulsando ela para fora da água.

The great jaws break bones and cut skin and turn internal organs into a jelly.
As grandes mandíbulas quebram os ossos e cortam a pele e transformam os órgãos internos em uma gelatina.

The shark falls back into the water with the woman in its mouth.
O tubarão cai de volta na água com a mulher em sua boca.

There is a fountain of white water and red blood as the shark disappears below the surface.
Há uma fonte de água branca e sangue vermelho quando o tubarão desaparece embaixo da superfície.

The fish shakes its massive head from side to side.
O peixe sacode sua cabeça enorme de um lado para outro.

Its serrated teeth cut through her body with little resistance.
Seus dentes cerrados dilaceram seu corpo com pouca resistência.

Her body falls into pieces.
Seu corpo cai em pedaços.

The great fish moves back and forth through the cloud of blood.
O grande peixe se move para frente e para trás pela nuvem de sangue.

Its mouth opens and closes slowly.
Sua boca abre e fecha vagarosamente.

It is looking for other pieces of its victim.
Ele está procurando outros pedaços da sua vítima.

Some of them sink to the bottom of the sea, and other parts move towards the shore in the slow current.
Alguns deles afundam para o fundo do mar, e outras partes se movem para a praia na corrente lenta.

A short time later it begins swimming away from the shore, satisfied with its meal.
Um curto tempo depois ele começa a nadar para longe da praia, satisfeito com sua refeição.

The man opens his eyes.
O homem abre seus olhos.

It is dark and he feels cold.
Está escuro e ele sente frio.

He stands up and begins to dress.
Ele se levanta e começa a se vestir.

It is then he sees the woman's shoes and clothes on the beach.
É quando ele vê os sapatos da mulher e as roupas na praia.

He picks up the shoes, shirt and shorts and begins walking back towards the fire.
Ele pega os sapatos, a camisa e o short e começa a andar de volta à fogueira.

But she is not there. No one is there.
Mas ela não está lá. Ninguém está lá.

As his head clears, he begins to feel the first sensations of worry.
Assim que sua cabeça clareia, ele começa a sentir as primeiras sensações de preocupação.

Body on the Beach
Corpo na Praia

"Mr. Brody, this is Hendricks."
"Sr. Brody, aqui é o Hendricks."

"We've got a problem."
"Nós temos um problema."

"We received a call from a house on Old Mill Road a few minutes ago."
"Nós recebemos uma chamada de uma casa na Estrada Old Mill alguns minutos atrás."

"A girl went out on the beach there last night and she didn't come back."
"Uma garota saiu para a praia lá ontem a noite e ela não voltou.'

"What time is it?" Brody asks.
"Que horas são?" Brody pergunta.

"Five-thirty. Sorry!"
"Cinco e meia. Desculpe!"

"No, you were right to call."
"Não, você estava certo em chamar."

"Tell me everything you know."
"Me conte tudo que sabe."

It is almost six-thirty when Brody drives his police car along Old Mill Road.
São quase seis e meia quando Brody dirige seu carro da polícia pela Estrada Old Mill.

He looks all along the beach but he does not see anything unusual.
Ele olha pela praia toda mas ele não vê nada de incomum.

At eight o'clock Hendricks arrives, and the two policemen knock on the door of Jack Foote's house.
Às oito horas Hendricks chega, e os dois policiais batem na porta da casa de Jack Foote.

A young man opens the door. "Im Tom Cassidy," he says.
Um jovem homem abre a porta. "Eu sou Tom Cassidy," ele diz.

"I called you. Did you find her?"
"Eu chamei vocês. Vocês a acharam?"

"No, Mr. Cassidy, we didn't find her," says Brody.
"Não, Sr. Cassidy, nós não a achamos," diz Brody.

"We're going to look on the beach now."
"Nós vamos procurar na praia agora."

"I want to come, too," Cassidy responds.
"Eu quero ir, também," Cassidy responde.

The three men walk to the beach. "I went to sleep here," says Cassidy.
Os três homens caminham até a praia. "Eu adormeci aqui," diz Cassidy.

"And I found the shoes here."
"E eu achei os sapatos aqui."

Brody looks up and down the beach. "Let's walk," he says.
Brody olha para cima e para baixo da praia. "Vamos caminhar," ele diz.

"Come with me, Mr. Cassidy. Leonard, can you walk back towards Mr. Foote's house?"
"Venha comigo, Sr Cassidy. Leonard, você pode andar de volta para casa do Sr. Foote?"

Hendricks takes his shoes off and begins to walk.
Hendricks tira seus sapatos e começa a andar.

After about fifteen minutes he turns and looks back.
Depois de em torno de quinze minutos ele se vira e olha para trás. 

Brody and Cassidy are now a half kilometer away on the beach, so he begins to walk towards them.
Brody e Cassidy estão agora a meio quilômetro de distância na praia, então ele começa a caminhar em direção deles.

Suddenly Hendricks sees something in front of him.
De repente Hendricks vê algo à sua frente.

He walks quickly towards it and then stops.
Ele caminha rapidamente em direção a ele e então para.

For a short time he does not move. Then he cries out.
Por um curto tempo ele não se move. Depois ele grita.

In front of him is a woman's head and some of her arm.
Em sua frente está a cabeça de uma mulher e parte de seu braço.

Brody and Cassidy run down the beach to Hendricks.
Brody e Cassidy correm pela praia até Hendricks. 

Brody arrives first.
Brody chega primeiro.

He looks down and sees the woman.
Ele olha para baixo e vê a mulher.

Then he closes his eyes. "Mr. Cassidy, is this her?"
Depois ele fecha seus olhos. "Sr. Cassidy, é ela?

Cassidy is very afraid. Then he looks down.
Cassidy está com muito medo. Então ele olha para baixo.

"Oh no!" he cries, and he puts his hand over his mouth.
"Oh não!" ele grita, e ele coloca sua mão sobre sua boca.

"Is it her?"
"É ela?"

He turns away. "Yes," he says
Ele se vira de costas. " Sim," ele diz.

"What happened?"
"O que aconteceu?"

"I don't know," says Brody. "But I think a shark attacked her."
"Eu não sei," diz Brody. "Mas eu acho que um tubarão a atacou."

That night Brody meets his friend Harry Meadows. 
Aquela noite Brody encontra seu amigo Harry Meadows.

Harry writes for the town's newspaper, “The Amity Leader”.
Harry escreve para o jornal da cidade, “The Amity Leader” (O Manchete de Amity).

"I think it was a shark attack," says Brody.
'Eu acho que foi um ataque de tubarão," diz Brody.

"You're right," says Meadows.
"Você está certo," diz Meadows.

"This afternoon I talked to a young man called Matt Hooper.”
"Hoje à tarde eu falei com um homem jovem chamado Matt Hooper.

Hooper falls back.
Hooper cai para trás.

"It's attacking!” cries Brody.
"Ele está atacando!" grita Brody.

He tries to pull the cage out of the water.

“Throw the harpoon!”
"Jogue o arpão!"

"I can't throw it! I have to get him to the surface first.
"Eu não posso jogá-lo! Eu tenho que trazê-lo primeiro para a superfície.

The jaws of the shark close around him.
As mandíbulas do tubarão fecham em cima dele.

Hooper pushes his hand into the black eye and thinks, "I'm going to die..."
Hooper empurra sua mão dentro do olho preto e pensa, "Eu vou morrer…"

“He's got him!” cries Brody. “Do something!”
"Ele o pegou!" grita Brody. "Faça alguma coisa!"

“The man is dead," Quint says.
"O homem está morto," Quint diz.

“How do you know?"
"Como você sabe?"

“He's dead."
"Ele está morto."

The shark leaves the cage, and drops down a meter.

O tubarão sai da gaiola, e mergulha um metro para baixo.

Then it swims up towards the surface.
Depois ele nada para cima em direção à superfície.

“He's coming up!” says Brody.
"Ele está vindo para cima!" diz Brody.

The shark hits the surface five meters from the boat.

"What do we do now?" asks Brody.
"O que fazemos agora?" pergunta Brody.

"We'll go back," says Quint. “For now."
"Nós voltaremos," diz Quint. "Por enquanto."

“But why do you want to come back?
Mas porque você quer voltar?"

That fish is too strong for us!
Aquele peixe é muito grande para nós!

"I'm going to kill that thing," says Quint.
"Eu vou matar aquela coisa," diz Quint.

"I don't think I can get more money for you."
"Eu não acho que eu posso conseguir mais dinheiro para você.”

“This is not about money.”
"Isso não se trata de dinheiro."

"What are you saying?" Brody looks at Quint.
"O que você está dizendo?" Brody olha para Quint.

"I'm going to kill that fish. Do you want to come with me?"
"Eu vou matar aquele peixe. Você quer vir comigo?"

Brody looks into Quint's eyes.
Brody olha nos olhos de Quint.

They are as dark as the eyes of the shark.
Eles são tão escuros quanto os olhos do tubarão.

"I'll come," says Brody.
"Eu virei," diz Brody.

Brody arrives home late that night.

"We're going to catch the fish, and kill it."
"Nós vamos pegar o peixe, e matá-lo."

“Do you think you can?"

"Eu não sei. Mas Quint acha que podemos.

CAPÍTULO DEZ

Fight to the Finish
Luta até o Fim

The next morning it rains.
A manhã seguinte chove.

Brody meets Quint at the boat.
Brody encontra Quint no barco.

"Is it only me and you this time?" says Brody.
"É só eu e você dessa vez?" diz Brody.

“Yes," says Quint.
"Sim." diz Quint.

“You know this fish as well as any man.
"Você conhece este peixe tão bem quanto qualquer outro homem.

Nobody can help us now."
Ninguém pode nos ajudar agora."

Quint turns the boat out to sea.
Quint vira o barco pra mar afora.

After ten minutes he slows it down.
Depois de dez minutos ele o desacelera.

Brody looks back towards the shore.
Brody olha para trás em direção à costa.

"We're not out as far today," he says.
"Nós não estamos tão longe hoje," ele diz.

"We can't be more than three kilometers from the shore."
"Nós não podemos estar a mais de três quilômetros da costa.

“That's right."
"Está certo."

“So why are you stopping?"
"Então porque você está parando?"

Quint points to the shore.
Quint apontou para a costa.

"I don't think he'll go out far today," he says.
"Eu não acho que ele irá longe hoje," ele diz.

"I think he'll be somewhere between here and Amity."
"Eu acho que ele estará em algum lugar entre aqui e Amity."

Quint stops the boat and Brody begins dropping meat into the sea.
Quint pára o barco e Brody começa a jogar carne no mar.

Quint throws a line overboard.
Quint joga a linha no mar.

Then he puts a barrel on a harpoon line.
Depois ele coloca um barril na linha de um arpão.

“OK," says Quint. “Now we wait."
"OK," diz Quint. "Agora nós esperamos."

An hour goes by.
Passa uma hora.

Nothing happens.
Nada acontece.

Brody stands up and looks overboard.
Brody se levanta e olha para o mar.

Suddenly he sees the head of the shark, with its black eyes and open jaws.
De repente ele vê a cabeça do tubarão, com seus olhos pretos e mandíbulas abertas.

It is less than two meters away! “Oh no!” Brody cries. “He's here!”
Ele está a menos de dois metros de distância! "Oh não!" Brody grita. "Ele está aqui!"

Quint jumps up.
Quint dá um salto.

The shark's head drops back into the water.
A cabeça do tubarão cai de volta para a água.

A minute later, it hits the boat.
Um minuto após, ele bate no barco.

The boat moves up and down.
O barco balança para cima e para baixo.

Then the shark goes under again and the boat stops moving.
Então o tubarão vai novamente para baixo e o barco pára de se mover.

“He waited for us!” cries Brody. “How did he...?"
"Ele esperou por nós!" grita Brody. "Como ele fez…?"

"I don't know," says Quint. "We've got him now."
"Eu não sei," diz Quint. "Nós o pegamos agora."

"We've got him? Did you see what he did to the boat? He's got us, I say!”
"Nós o pegamos? Você viu o que ele fez com o barco?  Ele nos pegou, eu digo!"

The line moves, and there are noises from under the boat.
A linha se move, e há barulhos vindos do fundo do barco.

Quint stands and picks up a harpoon gun.
Quint se levanta e pega uma arma de arpão.

“He'll be back soon."
"Ele voltará logo."

The boat moves again.
O barco se move novamente.

Quint puts his head overboard, and cries, “Come out from under there!”
Quint coloca sua cabeça ao mar, e grita, "Sai daí de baixo!"

"What's he doing?" Brody asks.
"O que ele está fazendo?" Brody pergunta.

“He's making a hole in the boat.
"Ele está fazendo um buraco no barco.

Look, the water's coming in... Come out and I'll kill you!”
Olha, a água está entrando… Saia e eu te matarei!"

The shark comes to the surface, and begins to move towards the boat.
O tubarão vem para a superfície, e começa a mover-se na direção do barco.

“Come to me," says Quint. “Come to me."
"Vem para mim," diz Quint. "Vem pra mim."

He stands and watches the shark.
Ele fica de pé e olha o tubarão.

When it is a meter from the boat, he fires the gun.
Quando ele está a um metro do barco, ele atira a arma.

The harpoon hits the shark.
O arpão acerta o tubarão.

And then the shark hits the boat, hard.
E então o tubarão bate no barco, forte.

Quint falls back and his head hits a chair.
Quint cai para trás e sua cabeça bate numa cadeira.

He jumps to his feet again and cries, "I got you!"
Ele pula em pé de novo e grita, "Eu te peguei!"

The harpoon line goes overboard.
A linha do arpão vai para o mar.

It pulls the barrel into the water with it.
Ela puxa o barril para dentro da água com ela.

“He took it down with him!” says Brody.
"Ele a levou para baixo com ele!" diz Brody.

“Not for long," says Quint. “He'll be back!
"Não por muito tempo," diz Quint. "Ele voltará!

When he comes, we'll throw harpoons at him again and again and again.
Quando ele vier, nós jogaremos arpões nele seguidamente.

And then we'll have him!”
E então nós o teremos!"

Quint watches the water.
Quint olha a água.

“Get another barrel," he says. “Bring it back here."
"Pega outro barril," ele diz. "Traga-o de volta para cá."

Brody runs to the front of the boat and gets a barrel.
Brody corre para a frente do barco e pega um barril.

He carries it over to Quint.
Ele o carrega até Quint.

“Here he comes!” says Quint.
"Aqui vem ele!" diz Quint.

He points down to the left.
Ele aponta para baixo à esquerda.

The barrel comes to the surface and moves in the water.
O barril vem para a superfície e se move na água.

Quint picks up a harpoon. “He's coming up!”
Quint pega um arpão. "Ele está subindo!"

The shark jumps out of the water.
O tubarão salta para fora da água.

It is less than three meters from the boat.
Ele está a menos de três metros do barco.

"I'll get you!” cries Quint, and he throws the second harpoon.
"Eu te pegarei!" grita Quint, e joga o segundo arpão.

The harpoon hits the shark and it falls back into the sea.
O arpão atinge o tubarão e ele cai de volta no mar.

Water comes over the boat.
Água vem para cima do barco.

The second line goes overboard. "We've got him!” says Quint.
A segunda linha vai para o mar. "Nós o pegamos!" diz Quint.

The boat moves once and then again.
O barco se balança uma vez e novamente depois.

They hear the sound of something breaking.
Eles escutam um barulho de algo quebrando.

“Do you want to attack again?" Quint asks the shark.
"Você quer atacar de novo?" Quint pergunta ao tubarão.

“You won't take any man with you!”
"Você não levará nenhum homem com você!"

Quint starts the boat, and they begin moving away.
Quint liga o barco, e eles começam a sair dali.

"Is the boat OK?" says Brody.
"O barco está OK?" pergunta Brody.

“He made a hole under us," says Quint. “But we'll be OK."
"Ele fez um buraco embaixo de nós," diz Quint. "Mas nós estaremos bem."

“That's it then," Brody says happily. “The fish is dead."
"Então é isso," Brody diz alegremente. "O peixe está morto."

“No," says Quint. “Look."
"Não," diz Quint. "Olhe."

Brody looks back and sees the two yellow barrels in the sea behind them.
Brody olha para trás e vê os dois barris amarelos no mar atrás deles.

"Why is he coming after us? Does he think we're food?"
"Por que ele está vindo atrás de nós? Ele pensa que somos comida?"

“No. He wants to fight us."
"Não. Ele quer lutar conosco."  

For the first time, Quint is afraid.
Pela primeira vez, Quint está com medo.

“Do sharks usually do this?"
"Tubarões geralmente fazem isso?"

“No," says Quint.
"Não," diz Quint.

“They sometimes attack the boat.
"Eles às vezes atacam o barco.

But they stop after you hit them with a harpoon.
Mas eles param após você os atingir com um arpão.

But this one wants to fight.
Mas esse quer lutar.

So we'll fight him!”
Então nós lutaremos com ele!"

Quint drives the boat faster.
Quint dirige o barco mais rápido.

The barrels follow them.
Os barris os seguem.

He slows the boat and picks up a third harpoon.
Ele desacelera o barco e pega o terceiro arpão.

“OK!” he calls. “Come and get it!”
"OK!" ele chama. "Venha e pegue!"

The barrels move through the water.
Os barris se movem pela água.

They are forty meters away, then thirty, then twenty.
Eles estão a quarenta metros de distância, depois trinta, depois vinte.

Brody sees the shark swim past the boat below the water.
Brody vê o tubarão nadar para além do barco embaixo d'água.

It is two meters from the surface. “He's here!” he cries.
Ele está a dois metros da superfície. "Ele está aqui" ele grita.

The shark swims past the boat.
O tubarão nada para além do barco.

After forty meters it turns.
Após quarenta metros ele volta.

Its head comes out of the water, and then drops back in.
Sua cabeça sai da água, e depois cai de volta.

“Here he comes!” says Quint.
"Aqui vem ele!" diz Quint.

The shark hits the boat and Quint throws his harpoon.
O tubarão bate no barco e Quint joga seu arpão.

It hits the shark in the head, over the right eye.
Ele atinge o tubarão na cabeça, em cima do olho direito.

The line goes slowly overboard.
A linha vai devagar para o mar.

"I got him in the head!” says Quint.
"Eu o acertei na cabeça!" diz Quint.

But the barrels move on across the surface of the water.
Mas os barris continuam a se mover pela superfície da água.

Then they go under.
Depois vão para baixo.

"What's he doing?" says Quint.
"O que ele está fazendo?" diz Quint.

“No fish can attack with three harpoons in him!
"Nenhum peixe consegue atacar com três arpões nele!

But he can't live for much longer.
Mas ele não consegue viver muito mais tempo.

And we can wait!”
E nós podemos esperar!"

For three hours they wait.
Por três horas eles esperam.

They watch the barrels move slowly across the surface of the sea.
Eles veem os barris moverem-se devagar pela superfície da água.

At eleven o'clock the rain stops.
Às onze horas a chuva para.

Then for nearly an hour the barrels do not move.
Depois por cerca de uma hora os barris não se movem.

"What do you think?" says Brody. "Is he dead?"
"O que você acha?" diz Brody. "Ele está morto?"

"I don't think so.
"Eu acho que não.

But perhaps we can pull him in with a strong line."
Mas talvez nós possamos puxá-lo com uma linha forte."

They begin to pull him in.
Eles começam a puxá-lo.

The shark is very heavy.
O tubarão é muito pesado.

The barrels do not move.
Os barris não se movem.

Then suddenly the line starts coming at them fast.
Então de repente a linha começa a vir para eles rapidamente.

“Did the line break?" says Brody.
"A linha quebrou?" pergunta Brody.

“No!” says Quint. Brody sees he is afraid. “He's coming up."
"Não!" diz Quint. Brody vê que ele está com medo. "Ele está subindo.'’

Quint starts the boat.
Quint liga o barco.

But it is too late.
Mas é tarde demais.

The shark comes up above the surface.
O tubarão sobe acima da superfície.

Brody watches it jump, and cries out.
Brody olha ele saltar, e grita.

The shark drops down onto the back of the boat, and pushes it below the surface.
O tubarão cai na parte traseira do barco, e o empurra para baixo da superfície.

The water comes up their legs.
A água cobre suas pernas.

The shark is now only a meter from Brody's head.
O tubarão está agora a apenas um metro da cabeça de Brody.

He looks into its big black eye and thinks, "I'm going to die..."
Ele olha dentro de seu grande olho preto e pensa, "Eu vou morrer…"

“Look what you did to my boat!” cries Quint as he falls onto his back.
"Olha o que você fez com o meu barco!" grita Quint ao cair de costas.

The boat starts going down with the weight of the shark on it.
O barco começa a afundar com o peso do tubarão nele.

With one final effort, Quint throws the last harpoon towards the shark.
Num último esforço, Quint joga o último arpão em direção ao tubarão.

It hits the shark in the face above its black eye.
Ele atinge o tubarão em seu rosto acima de seu olho preto.

Quint begins to slip down towards the shark’s open mouth.
Quint começa a escorregar em direção à boca aberta do tubarão.

Its jaws open and close in a terrible rhythm.
Suas mandíbulas abrem e fecham num ritmo terrível.

Quint screams and kicks the shark in the head, but it is too late.
Quint grita e chuta o tubarão na cabeça, mas é tarde demais.

The shark moves its head and closes its jaws over Quint’s legs.
O tubarão move sua cabeça e fecha suas mandíbulas sobre as pernas de Quint.

Quint screams a terrible scream!
Quint grita um grito terrível!

Brody tries to help him, but he can't do anything for him.
Brody tenta ajudá-lo, mas não pode fazer nada por ele.

The shark begins to fall back into the water with the harpoons in its body and Quint in its mouth.
O tubarão começa a cair de volta na água com o arpão em seu corpo e Quint em sua boca.

The big fisherman goes slowly down, under the dark water.
O grande pescador vai para baixo vagarosamente, dentro da água escura.

For a short time there is no sound.
Por um curto tempo não há som.

The water is up to Brody's shoulders now.
A água está nos ombros de Brody agora.

Twenty meters away the shark comes back up above the surface.
A vinte metros o tubarão vem de volta acima da superfície.

“Go away!” cries Brody.
"Vá embora!" grita Brody.

The big fish comes nearer and nearer.
O grande peixe vem cada vez mais perto.

Brody cries out.
Brody grita alto.

Then he closes his eyes and waits.
Depois ele fecha seus olhos e espera.

Nothing happens.
Nada acontece.

When Brody opens his eyes he sees the shark there next to him.
Quando Brody abre seus olhos ele vê o tubarão lá ao lado dele.

For a short time it does not move.
Por um curto tempo ele não se move.

Then it slowly falls back below the surface of the water, down and down, out of the light.
Então ele cai devagar para trás embaixo da superfície da água, cada vez mais para baixo, na escuridão.

Quint’s lifeless body is still in its mouth.
O corpo sem vida de Quint ainda está em sua boca.

Brody watches the dead shark fall down and down into the sea.
Brody vê o tubarão morto afundar no mar.

The barrels prevent the monster from sinking to the bottom.
Os barris evitam que o monstro afunde até o fundo.

Brody takes out a small knife he keeps on his belt and cuts the lines.
Brody tira uma faca pequena que ele guarda em seu cinto e corta as linhas.

He ties the lines together and uses the barrels as a raft.
Ele amarra as linhas junto e usa os barris como uma balsa.

Then he begins to swim towards the shore.
Então ele começa a nadar em direção à costa.
