Mom, just for a minute,

can we see the island?

What do you say, mom?

It's not every day you get

to see a deserted island.

Why don't we just check it out?

And we'll go home

and have lunch after.

Yeah!

Mom, please, please, please?

Okay.

Yeah, full speed ahead!

Next stop treasure island!

Daddy, look, palm trees.

They're everywhere.

Awesome.

Come here your ears are red.

Dad you think

there's treasure here?

You never know.

You guys wanna take a

walk around the island?

I think I'm gonna sit down

and read for a little bit,

you guys go ahead.

All right.

Let's look

for a buried treasure.

All right, well, let's do it.

- Get out of here.

- Come on.

You boys have fun.

Let's do it,

come on,

let's find some treasure.

What do you think, huh?

Awesome.

Let's go see this thing.

Let's see if we can make

it all the way around.

Cool.

Whoa, a seashell.

Dad, look.

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Take a look inside,

see if anybody's home.

Hello, darlings.

Look, mom, we found

a cool seashell.

Ooh a conk shell,

it's good luck you know.

- Conk, can you say conk?

- Conk.

Conk shell,

it's good luck, you ready?

- I'm hungry.

- Hungry, too.

Let me help you up.

- Who wants Sushi?

- I want Sushi.

Okay, how about, uh,

what do you say we get

mom a caterpillar roll?

- Eww.

- Eww.

Or a spider roll?

What about a tarantula roll?

What, no those are too hairy,

I don't like those.

How about some,

start with some miso chorizo?

Miso chorizo?

Or some edamame salami?

I don't think

there's a crab there.

Yeah, probably not.

What's going on over there, hon?

We run out of gas?

- No, it's full.

- Okay.

I think that's

supposed to be down.

All right, come on.

Come on, come on.

I mean, anyways

if anything there's...

There's got to be a bunch

of boats around.

Oh, there we go.

It's basically a

lawnmower engine.

F***, come on, come on.

It won't be much longer, honey.

All right,

so how long do you think

before they notice

the boat is missing

and they come looking for us?

I don't know if they care

if the boat is missing.

I rented it from a

local and paid in cash.

He doesn't know my name

or where we're staying.

And he wouldn't want to report

his missing boat to the police?

I hope he does.

Look, if it comes down to it,

I'll put on a life vest

and I'll swim back.

You can't swim back,

it took us an hour going

whatever miles per hour we

were doing to get out here.

Can you even imagine

how far out we are?

I'm gonna keep looking for

boats on the other side.

Hey.

You okay?

Only battery's dead.

I've been messing with

the engine all morning

and it seems fine.

The fuel line's good,

we got fuel.

The engine's just... i

don't know.

I think it's the

battery that's dead.

I went around

the island, uh,

I didn't see any water.

I did see a boat

a little while ago.

Mommy, my head hurts

and I'm thirsty.

I know, sweetheart,

but you have

to stay out of the sun.

Your father's asked you twice

to stay out of the sun.

It's okay. It's okay.

Hey, chief.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Just like in the pirate stories.

Did you know that when they

used to sail these seas

they would go for weeks

at a time without food?

And they didn't mind because

it was... it was an adventure.

Just like it is for us.

So I want you to do

what your mom says

and I want you to

stay under that tree

and stay out of the sun

and I want you to think about

what you're gonna

tell Colin about

your big adventure

on treasure island, okay?

Okay?

Look, boat, boat.

Come on, boat. Hey!

- Babe, boat, yo.

- Hey!

- Hey, hey!

- Hey, hey!

- Stop.

- Whoo, help!

- Stop!

- Stop, help.

- Help us.

- Hey!

- We need help.

- Whoo, help!

- See us!

- Help, hey!

Look over here!

Hey, whoo!

Hey, come here, it's okay.

There's gonna be plenty more.

That's just one.

A boat is gonna come along

and they're gonna get us okay?

Now in the meantime,

you get under that palm tree.

Stay out of the sun.

What are we gonna do?

Well, we can last a couple

of days without food.

Someone's guaranteed

to come by then.

How long can we

last without water?

I can't believe,

this is actually happening.

Hey.

I know I've been

too hard on you.

I'm sorry.

Do you really think

we're gonna be okay?

Of course we're gonna be okay.

I will not let us die out here.

That's a promise.

Jules...

Jules, Jules.

Jules, you got to wake up.

His heart is racing,

he's overcompensating

'cause he can't pump

the blood properly.

Andy, Andy!

Damn it, goddamn it.

Please don't let him die,

we have to do something.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, we have to

get off the island.

We have to get out on the water.

There are boats out there.

Someone is gonna spot us.

If we don't he's not

gonna wake up tomorrow.

None of us will.

Baby, I'm sorry.

I love you.

I love you.

Hello! Help!

Help, help!

Help, help, help!

Help, help, help!

My son and my wife

they need water.

Here, here, wet their lips.

With what?

It's fresh water.

Oh...

Jules.

Come here.

Come here.

I got water there.

No, no, put it on her neck,

put it on her neck.

The skin is thin there,

it'll suck in the moisture.

I'm a doctor.

Exactly. Okay.

Now get her wrist,

get her wrist.

Come on, water.

We have water, we've got water.

How long you been out here?

A few days.

- Days?

- Days.

What happened?

We're staying at a resort

and I rented this boat

and then the engine

just wouldn't start.

Drifted out to sea and...

But my son I need to

get him to the hospital.

He won't last much longer,

please.

Let me take the kid.

Come on, babe, we're going home.

I'm... I'm Kevin,

this is my wife, Julie.

And I just want to say

we're gonna be forever

grateful for what

you've done for us.

What is your name?

Listen, man, I want to help you.

I want to save you

and your family, okay?

Okay.

But I would like

a reward, you know,

a compensation for

saving your lives.

Yes, of course, definitely.

I swear to you

you'll be very happy.

Yeah, but I would like to

agree on the price right now.

Of... of course,

anything you want.

Uh...

Ten... thousand.

$10,000, $10,000.

Forty, forty, that's everything

that we have in our savings.

I'll give you $40,000.

How much is your

family's life worth?

I want one million dollars.

I don't... I don't have

a million dollars.

But you're a doctor right?

Yes, I'm a doctor but I

work at a county hospital.

We don't even make

anything like that.

Listen, man,

I have a family, too.

Y'all come down here and

spend $10,000 on one vacation.

That's more than I made this

whole year, for four people.

I need a million

dollars or I'm leaving.

- Make up your mind.

- No, no, you can't leave us.

You can't leave us,

you can't be serious.

We'll die out here.

You said you have a family,

and I've offered you $40,000.

$40,000, isn't that enough?

- Not for me.

- Wait, don't,

don't, don't, don't.

- Please don't go.

- One million

dollars or no deal.
