It would be confusing to see something as random as an injured squid out of the blue in the water. And indeed Taylor was very shocked to see such a thing. Since the squid was suffering from some injuries, it needed to be helped immediately. Taylor tried his best and did whatever he thought was best at the spur of the moment. He made a lasso out of a rope and tied to squid to pull it out of the water. The squid was, however, not cooperating and it had intentions of its own.
