- Come on, Kate.

Push. You got it, you got it, you got it.

You got it, you got it!

It's moving.

Keep going. Yes!

We did it!

I'm gonna see if I can reach Taylor.

We're gonna get out of here, okay?

Hurry, please.

Taylor, can you hear me?

Is anybody there?

- Somebody please answer me!

- Hello! Kate!

- I can hear you! Taylor, it's Kate!

- Lisa, can you hear me? Say something.

- Hello?

- I hear you.

- I read you loud and clear, Kate.

- Oh, thank God. Oh, you have to help us.

- Are you both okay?

- Yes.

Good. How much air do you have in your tank?

I'm at 55 bar.

- What does your depth gauge say?

- Um, the gauge is at 47 meters.

I had to come up to hear you.

I'm at 40 meters.

I'm am so freaking scared. What do I do?

All right, listen, Kate. I need you

to get back in the cage immediately.

It's the only safe place from the sharks.

Do you understand?

Javier's coming down to you now.

He's going to hook up the cage

to our spare winch and pull you up.

- Okay.

- And remember, Kate...

...whatever you and Lisa do,

don't try to race to the surface.

- You'll get the bends.

- I'm going back down now.

- Promise me you'll come.

- Just stay in the cage...

- ...and reserve your air.

- Okay.

Just keep calm.

Just keep breathing.

- I made contact with them, Lisa.

- I made contact.

Yeah? Yeah? What did the say?

Javier is coming down. He's gonna

connect the cage to a backup winch.

He is? Oh! Thank God, thank God, thank God.

Oh, okay. Oh, thank God.

- We need to conserve our air.

- Okay. Okay. Oh, it's almost over.

I was so frightened, Kate, waiting for you.

I thought that you were never coming back.

I'm so sorry I got us into this.

The other night at the hotel,

what did you mean when you said...

...that your relationship

was the only thing you were good at?

You're always doing such fun stuff, Kate.

Traveling around the world

doing crazy things...

...guys always chasing after you.

I could never compete with that.

I was always just

your boring older sister, but...

...my relationship with Stuart...

...was the one thing I had that you didn't.

We were never in competition.

Maybe you weren't.

What do you think Stuart

would say if he could see you now?

- What?

- He would lose his mind.

Yeah.

Listen.

What is that?

Oh, my God, that's the boat's engine.

Oh, my God, they've left us!

- They wouldn't have left us, okay?

- Oh, God.

Maybe it's something else.

Maybe it was a different boat.

We would've heard it arrive. Wait,

wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

I've got to go and try

and get them on the radio again.

Kate, what are we gonna do

if they're not there?

They will not have left us, okay?

Taylor, can you hear me?

Hello, are you there?

Please answer me, someone!

Taylor, it's Kate. Can you hear me?

Hello, is anyone there?

Please, someone answer me!

Lisa, open the hatch!

Open the hatch! It was a shark!

I can't open it! It's caught on the chain!

It's coming! It's coming!

Oh, my God! Hurry, hurry!

Oh, my God. I thought it was g...

I thought it was gonna get me.

I thought it... I was dead.

The cage is gonna break!

It's gonna get through!

Be quiet! Quiet, be quiet.

It almost broke through the cage.

We're not safe here anymore.

Did you make contact with Taylor?

- They weren't there.

- Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.

They're not just gonna leave us here.

They said they were sending someone down.

But we heard them leave, didn't we? They

also said they were gonna come down here...

...and attach, like, a spare winch

to the top of the cage...

...but did you even see one

on the boat? I didn't...

They are not gonna leave us to die

down here. You need to calm down.

- So we have to get back up to the top.

- No, listen to me, we can't just swim up.

- We can swim fast. We can!

- No, we can't. We will get the bends.

Do you know what the bends is?

It's nitrogen bubbles in the brain.

The only way to go up is to ascend slowly...

...with a decompression stop

for five minutes.

Unprotected, in open water.

I'm so scared, we're gonna die down here.

We're not gonna die here.

We're not gonna die down here.

It's okay, they're gonna come and get us.

- Read me your air.

- Um...

...it says 80 bar.

I don't know what that means.

At this depth, that means we have about

20 minutes tops, before you run out.

What about you?

Kate.

30 bar.

Oh, my God.

I'm gonna be fine. It's gonna be fine.

You're gonna run out of air.

Listen.

Javier?

What is that?

Is that Javier?

There! There! There, there, there! Hey! Hey!

Can you hear us? We can see your flashlight.

Javier!

Hey!

Why isn't he coming towards us?

Maybe he's out of range.

Hey!

Javier!

We need to make sure he knows where we are.

What's he doing?

I don't know.

Well, if he heard us,

why didn't he just signal?

We need to get that winch cable.

17 bar. You're almost out of air.

Okay.

Okay, I'm gonna go out there and find him.

You just need to tell me

exactly what I need to do.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Okay.

Keep as close to the ocean floor as you can.

Sharks attack from below, so if you

keep to the floor, you should be fine.

This button inflates your BCD.

Use it to go up. This button deflates it.

Listen to me, this is so important.

No matter what happens...

...no matter how panicked you get,

do not go straight up.

You will die. Do you understand?

I'll be right back.

Get down on the floor

as quick as you can, okay?

That's good. You're doing so good. Okay.

Keep your breathing slow.

Just focus on the flashlight.

Lisa, I can see the shark!

It's coming towards you!

Hide! Hide!

Lisa? Lisa, can you hear me? Are you safe?

- Lisa?

- I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm in a cave.

The shark almost got me.

Where is it now?

I think it's gone.

Lisa? What's going on?

Lisa, are you okay?

Lisa? Answer me, please.

I'm okay.

I'm getting low on air.

I can see the flashlight.

I can see the beam.

It's getting closer... oh!

Oh, my God. Oh.

Lisa, what's wrong? What's wrong?

I'm at the edge of some sort of cliff.

I can't see the ocean floor.

We're running out of time.

Okay, I can do this. I can do this.

Are you doing okay, Lisa?

I am so scared, Kate.

I can't even see what's below me.

I see it! I see it!

I see it!

I found the flashlight.

Javier?

He's not here, Kate. Javier?

I'm gonna come back, okay?

Which way did I come from?

Kate?

Uh-oh. Um...

Kate, can you hear me? Hello?

Kate? Kate, please answer me.

I'm really lost,

and I'm freaking out right now.

Oh, my God.

Stay calm. Stay calm and make a decision.

Kate!

Kate, I'm so lost.

Kate, can you hear me?

Get back into the cage!

Kate? Kate, I can hear you! Can you hear me?

You're breaking up!

Kate?

I need you to bang a rock or something...

...when you see the flashlight,

so I know which way to go.

I can hear you, Kate!

He's got no air. Damn.

Okay, I have to... I have to get the winch.

I have to get the winch.

Spear gun.

Oh, God.
