Dark Tide Page #6

Synopsis: Kate is a shark expert whose business has been failing since a shark attack killed a fellow diver under her command. Once dubbed "the shark whisperer," Kate is haunted by the memory of the attack and unable to get back into the water. With bills piling up and the bank about to foreclose on Kate's boat, Kate's ex-boyfriend Jeff presents her with a lucrative opportunity to lead a thrill-seeking millionaire businessman on a dangerous shark dive - outside the cage. Battling her self-doubts and fear, Kate accepts the proposal and sets a course for the world's deadliest feeding ground - Shark Alley.

- Stop it!

- Stop what?

Stop using me to make money!

That's what.

That's what you think I'm doing?

Have you ever done one

Jean Francois video without me?

- Just one? Can you think of one?

- Whoa.

- That's what you think I'm doing?

- Yeah.

And Brady's money didn't hurt, did it?

Brady's money is already

in your bank account.

It's all yours!

I didn't take a penny of it!

I don't give a sh*t of it!

You got that?

I love you. Always have.

And what I was doing

is to help you, to make you happy.

It didn't work, but I was trying.

I was really trying.

In other words,

you make it impossible!

- And you know what?

- What?

- It's over!

- It's over?

- Yes. Fine!

- Fine! I got it!

This was all a bad idea.

My fault! Let's go back.

You hear me?

Let's go back!

As soon as we touch land,

you won't see me any more.

I promise.

You won't see me.

Let's go.

Start the engine, Captain.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa.

What?

- Let's go. Come on.

- Let's go where?

Let's go see the sharks!

Come on!

Let's go!

Listen. Listen. First of all,

stop the screaming.

I'm not a dog,

I'm a man, first of all.

Second of all, it's your boat.

We do what you want.

Let's go. You want to go?

Let's go. Let's go.

Tommy, up with the cage!

Are we going home?

Nope.

What are we doing?

He wants to see big ones?

Let's show him big ones.

- Oh, sh*t.

- There you go.

That's more like it.

Throw him in with the biggest,

meanest buggers you can find.

Where are we going?

- Shark Alley.

- Around the Cape?

It's blowing 40 knots

out of the northwest.

I tell you guys, as soon as we leave

the protection of the bay,

- we're gonna take it on the chin.

- We can handle it.

It's gonna be wet and wild, baby!

This fool's paid big money

to see big sharks.

We must give him his money's worth.

Let's do it.

Let's do it!

Yeah. Come on, then.

Whoa! Luke's chumming the water!

Come on, come on, come on!

Get him! Aah!

Ah! Come on, come on!

Get him!

Get him! Get him!

Mercy. No mercy.

It's stuck.

Dude!

- Whoa! Slip line!

- Tommy.

Tommy! Tommy!

- What?

- It's not steering any more.

- Yeah. Give me a second.

- No. Go check it out now, please.

Get back up here! Move!

Hey, can you sing my name,

not shout it?

What are you doing?

Give me a second, yeah?

Figure it out?

Hey, the hydraulic line's gone!

I just paid

to get this boat reconditioned.

It's an old boat. Sh*t happens.

Tommy, I thought we fixed it.

Okay. What does that mean?

It's just a little steering difficulty.

- Can you fix it?

- Yeah. Yeah.

I'm just gonna replace all the hoses,

bleed the lines,

then I'm gonna do a little dance.

- Taking a piss?

- Let's do it manually.

- Kate!

- What?

Kate, we're steering manually!

- Get the tiller.

- Yeah.

Wait. Hang on a minute.

You said you could fix it.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm gonna try. We'll see.

What's that?

Tommy, are we gonna be okay?

We're gonna be peachy.

- Put this on.

- Dad, no.

- I'm fine.

- Put it on. Come on.

- Okay.

- I can't see!

Hull starboard!

We're gonna be on the rocks!

I can't see!

- Good job.

- Easy on the throttle!

No! We've gotta get through it!

- Okay! Here we go!

- Whoo-hoo!

Jeff, have you done this before?

Yeah, in another life.

Tommy, check out the starboard!

How deep is it?

How we looking?

It's getting really shallow.

How shallow is shallow?

Like three meters.

It's all right. We're okay.

We've got ten meters.

Good.

Tommy, now get back to the tiller.

- Starboard!

- Starboard!

I got it!

How's it looking?

Kate, the steering's fixed.

You should have control of the wheel.

Good. Straight.

I'm glad you came.

We're gonna be all right.

We're gonna be all right.

Don't worry. It'll be okay.

Don't worry.

Hey, I, uh... I owe you an apology.

I'm sorry.

I know why you're upset.

It's 'cause of your friend.

I lost a friend on Everest.

He was...

He was right behind me

on the rope, you know.

He's still up there.

How much longer?

I don't know.

What, an hour, hour and a half?

Maybe more. We'll see.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Are we really going in the water?

Yep. You wanna see sharks,

don't you?

They're not gonna

just jump on the boat.

And there's big ones down there, right?

Come on. You wanna put your courage

on the line, don't you?

Pull it out.

Let me see how big it is.

Come on. Let's go.

Get on your suit. We're going in.

Okay.

Got some action.

Two, three big boys.

Let's go. Let's go.

Come on, everybody. Suit up.

- Hold on.

- Get it up.

Aren't they even going to play?

Nope. No time for that.

If you see a shark,

just hit it in its snout.

- You'll be good.

- Yeah, right.

I'll tell you what,

I'm gonna get in the...

Don't you think it's better

if I get in the cage first?

Oh! Now you wanna

get in the cage.

I thought you wanted

to swim with sharks.

Come on, Dad. Go swim with sharks,

out of the cage.

Well, if you check it out,

then if it's safe, then I'll come out.

What happened to your courage?

You had big courage in there.

What happened to the "I wanna swim

outside the cage with sharks"?

My courage is right there in the cage.

When it's safe, I'll get out.

- But I'll start in the cage.

- Get in the cage, then. Let's go.

- All done, Dad.

- Thanks, son.

- Can we go?

- Yep.

Here we go.

Living my dream.

You wait for me, huh?

Kate!

Impossible. She's impossible!

I said wait for me.

What's wrong with you?

That's how you sh*t now.

Let's go. Come on.

Everybody, let's go!

- Hey, good luck.

- Okay. Ready?

Yeah. Ready.

- Think you can get in?

- Okay.

Keep it steady.

Are we anchored out here?

- Good. You're good.

- Aah!

Just hold on.

I'm gonna take you down now.

Where are you going?

We're drifting.

I'm gonna go check the anchor.

Is everything all right?

Sh*t!

- What's going on?

- Anchor's dragging.

I've gotta get the cage up

and the boat headed into the waves.

Can you give me a hand

and grab the rope?

Yeah. Got it.

Damn it!

Come on, man!

What's going on?

We're stuck!

Aah, the gears are stripping.

We gotta get the boat headed

into the waves, or we're gonna flip.

What?

I've gotta get this engine started first.

Yes! Beautiful!

Come here, kid. Come inside.

Okay.

- Have you driven a boat before?

- On my iPad.

Okay. Uh...

- Forward to go forward.

- Okay.

Backwards to go backwards.

Simple.

- Remember that?

- Yeah.

Forward to go forward

back to go back.

- Can you see me? You can hear me?

- I can hear you.

Come on, Tommy.

Tell me what's going on out there.

We've got to turn the boat into the waves

or we're going over!

We gotta turn the boat into the waves.

Gotta get the head into the waves.

Forward! Come forward!

That's what I'm doing!

Ohh. Ohh!

Power left! Power left!

Tommy!

Big wave! Hold on!

Oh, sh*t!

Luke!

Luke!

Luke!

Luke!

Luke!

Luke!

Could you check

with Cape Point then?

We've had no

distress calls from that area.

I understand you haven't

received any call.

I understand that.
