00:00Pretty, isn't it?
00:03The Beaches of L.A., Playground of America.
00:07Until this beach turned into a living nightmare.
00:10You said creature.
00:11Why did you use that word?
00:12I don't know.
00:13What would you call it?
00:14Blood Beach, man.
00:15Yeah, right on.
00:16Blood Beach.
00:17The beach is a weird beach for us cops.
00:26You've got the kids, the old people, the street fiddlers, those singles, the crazies all lost
00:36in their own world.
00:38There was every form of human life on this beach.
00:42Madras Bermudas, Bleeding Madras, they were kind of old, but you know, they were his favorite
00:47pair.
00:48They were still in good condition.
00:49But under the beach, there was this, I don't know, this horrible thing.
00:56And we still haven't figured it out.
00:58What the hell are we looking for?
01:00I don't know.
01:01But maybe if we dig deep enough, we'll find out.
01:05We police always look for the obvious, but this wasn't normal.
01:09Nah, not even for California.
01:14No.
01:17No.
01:19Help me!
01:22Doctors figure that there's been considerable brain damage.
01:25How considerable?
01:26Vegetable soup.
01:30When something like this is chasing you, you hope you find it before it finds you.
01:38Help me!
01:39Help me!
01:40Help me!
01:47If it's human, or even if it's animal, it's got to have a place to go back to.
01:55It's kind of sad the way things have changed unnecessarily.
02:10Help me!
02:17If there was any hope, we didn't have it.
02:19We didn't know a damn thing.
02:21It's when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, you can't get to it.
02:30There comes a time when you throw out all the rules, and you make your move.
02:41Blood Beach? It's an okay place to visit, but I wouldn't want to die there.
02:47I'm not here to find my feet!
02:55Blood Beach.
02:56David Huffman, Mariana Hill, John Saxon, and Brooke Young as Lieutenant Royko.
03:02Blood Beach.
03:03Where the water may be the safest place to be.
