Bait Page #3

(buzzing, popping)

We have another problem.

(laughing)

Why are you laughing?

'Cause he just realized

when the water hits those cables,

this whole place will light up

like a Christmas tree.

Jessup, where do we

shut it down?

The storage room.

All the power mains

are in the storage room.

I'll go.

- What?

- Everyone go to the end of the shelf,

make as much noise

as you can.

I'll swim for it.

Tina:

Josh, no.

I mean, you can't.

Your arm-- look at your arm.

I mean, the shark will go

straight for you.

You can't, not with that.

I don't think we have

any other options.

Hold on.

I have an idea.

Do you see it anywhere?

Yeah, I see it, but I'm keeping it

a secret from you

because I want you

to be surprised.

Oh, well, thank you for your

thoughtfulness, Kyle, really.

It's what I always dreamed of

in a boyfriend.

Oh, I can't handle this

much longer.

It may surprise you,

but I am not equipped

to deal with this kind

of situation.

Here, Bully,

I need some space.

(Heather screams)

(Bully barking)

Kyle, do something.

You have to do something.

Like what?

Ask the f***ing thing to go away?

- (screams)

- Oh, sh*t.

- Help!

- Help us, please! Help us!

Get down. Get down.

Get down.

Help us!

Do something!

- Okay.

- Help us!

All right, just get back

in the car.

Just stay as still and quiet

as possible.

- What, are you f***ing insane?

- Just listen, listen.

Why don't you jump in the water

and do a couple of laps?

All right, just listen to me.

You gotta keep still, okay?

The more you scream,

the more the shark's gonna come.

Hey, hey, just get back in

and wait.

I'm gonna get the shark

to come to me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What?

When I get it over here,

you swim like hell

for my van over there.

You see it?

This is crazy.

Babe, look at me.

Don't move.

Stay here as still as you can.

Can you do that?

(buzzing, popping)

(buzzing, popping)

You think this will work?

Man:

Absolutely.

I wouldn't eat a cheeseburger

with its wrapping on.

But of course...

I'm not a shark.

(laughing)

Here.

Yeah.

Look...

you don't know me...

- but when Tina came to Singapore--

- I don't want to know about it.

Well, you should.

We were never--

The whole time she was there...

she missed you.

It wasn't your fault--

what happened.

That's what she said.

Hey, I found some water.

Good?

You come back, okay?

Just come back.

Ready?

Here you go.

(buzzing)

(buzzing)

Oh, sh*t.

(grunts)

Oh, man, he's not

gonna make it.

(buzzing stops)

He did it.

- He did it.

- Where is he, Josh?

(gasping)

No!

(sobs)

No.

F*** it. No!

Hey... are you okay?

Look,

we've got to try

to keep it together.

Okay?

Tina:

I know. I just--

(shudders)

When's it gonna end?

And why is this happening?

Why?

When my mom was dying--

she died two years ago--

she was so sick.

I tried.

A couple of months

before she died, I left.

I couldn't take it.

I just took off to America.

And...

I wasn't there

when...

So this is my payback.

Life saying, "Screw you.

How are you gonna

run away from this?"

(grunts)

Here.

There's a secret to it.

You have to do it gently.

Just peel the two

pieces of plastic apart

Like that.

Thanks.

Was she a friend of yours--

the girl that got killed?

Julie?

No, not really.

I mean, I knew her

and everything, but--

It was just supposed

to be me, you know?

A quick in and out.

Nobody else, just me.

I guess it's true what they say--

"Let the devil take your hand

and God will make you pay."

Todd:
We're not gonna make it

out of here, are we?

I don't believe that.

No.

We'll make it out of here.

Good.

(sighs)

(grunts)

Ryan:
Oh, sh*t, it's working.

It's working.

Go now.

Go, go now, now.

Kyle:

Come on, go, go, go.

F***! Swim!

- Ryan:
Swim!

- Kyle:
Climb! Just climb!

Sorry, Bully.

- (Heather screams)

- F***!

Kyle:

Stay back!

Heather:

Bully! Bully!

(panting)

F***!

(faint muttering)

You need to

slide it through...

not fling it.

It's strong, but it can't

take much weight.

Screw this.

I'm out of here.

If you can get through,

you get help and bring them back.

Yeah, yeah,

all right, all right.

- Ready?

- Let's go.

Got it?

- (screams)

- (screams)

- Pull him up!

- I can make it. I can make it.

- Pull up now.

- I can make it. I'm okay.

(screaming)

(crunching)

Give me your hand.

Are you gonna talk to me

or what?

No.

- Heather, I didn't--

- Don't.

Don't even try.

Murderer.

I'm not a murderer.

Oh, yes, you are.

You're a dog murderer,

which is worse than a person murderer.

How could you?

Heather, I didn't have

a choice.

Bullshit.

You always have a choice.

Murderer.

Whatever.

(groans)

Argh!

Uh!

Ryan:

Hey. Hey.

Can that pipe

hold my weight?

I can't get out this way.

I want to get to that door.

What do you think?

Kyle:
I don't know.

Give it a go.

- Kyle:
You all right?

- Yeah.

Ryan:

Can you see it anywhere?

Kyle:
I don't know.

You're the one with the bloody torch.

Sh*t.

Kyle:

Are you okay?

Whew.

Ooh, Jesus.

- Kyle:
Are you all right?

- Yeah.

Good stuff.

Keep going.

Heather:

Is he gonna make it?

Kyle:

Babe, shut up.

Sh*t.

You're good. You got,

like, six feet. Keep going.

(grunts)

(grunts)

Oh, sh*t.

Hold on.

Grab on. Grab on.

Sh*t.

Both:
Swim, swim, swim.

Quick, quick.

- Heather:
Quick.

- Got you, buddy.

(Heather screams)

Kyle! No!

- Quick, quick.

- Give me your hand.

Give me your hand!

Doyle:
We're not gonna just

sit around and wait for that thing

to pick us off one by one.

And what do you think

you're gonna do?

At the very least, I'm gonna die

on my own terms

and not when that damn fish

decides it's time.

So you think what?

You're gonna catch it?

Why not?

What are you gonna do

if you catch it?

Spark up the barbie

and crack open the tartare sauce?

I'm gonna tie it to this shelf

and we're gonna swim like hell

to the entrance.

Get the hell out of here.

All I need isa hook.

You can't save everybody, mate.

You must be getting used

to that by now.

Josh:

It's not that far.

If we can distract

the shark,

I'll swim it,

get the hooks.

I'll do it.

What? Dad, no.

Oh, you can't,

not with your leg.

My leg is exactly

why I should go.

Dad, no, please.

You keep

my daughter safe.

No matter what happens,

you get her out of here, okay?

(grunts)

Jaimie!

Jaimie! Jaimie!

Tina:
Naomi, make noise,

get the shark to come toward us.

Josh:
Hurry, quick,

make some noise!

Jaimes, are you okay?

Yeah.

Okay, hang on.

Doyle:

Jump!

(gasps)

(gasps)

Good work, kid.

So what's the deal?

Do you know her

or just want to?

I used to.

Used to, huh?

'Cause I can see by that look

in your eye,

whatever was there,

still is.

That was a long time ago.

Trust me,

after this sh*t here,

everything we knew

is a long time ago.

You still wear that.

Yeah.

- Tina--

- You don't have to.

- We don't have to do this, Josh.

- No, I do.

I wasn't fair to you.

I just--

I always set the buoy.
