00:
35:41,681 -- 00:35:42,807

-Sh*t!

-What?

291

00:
35:42,891 -- 00:35:44,767

Something just bit me...

292

00:
35:45,310 -- 00:35:46,727

-What? Where?

-...or stung me or something.

293

00:
35:46,812 -- 00:35:49,647

l don't know. lt's right down by my ankle.

294

00:
35:49,981 -- 00:35:51,482

God, it kills.

295

00:
35:53,944 -- 00:35:55,861

God damn it! lt burns!

296

00:
35:56,404 -- 00:35:58,197

l don't see anything.

297

00:
36:02,494 -- 00:36:03,536

-Did it get you?

-Yes!

298

00:
36:03,620 -- 00:36:04,787

-What is it?

-l don't know,

299

00:
36:04,871 -- 00:36:05,996

but the f***er really stung me. lt hurts.

300

00:
36:06,081 -- 00:36:07,456

What do you think l was trying to tell you?

301

00:
36:07,541 -- 00:36:10,167

-Let's get the hell out of here.

-Okay.

302

00:
36:53,128 -- 00:36:54,503

Okay. Wait.

303

00:
37:01,678 -- 00:37:03,345

-l think we're away from them.

-ls that far enough?

304

00:
37:03,430 -- 00:37:06,140

-Anything? You got anything?

-No.

305

00:
37:10,103 -- 00:37:12,646

-Damn, those f***ers stung.

-l know.

306

00:
37:15,150 -- 00:37:18,694

-Where'd they get you?

-On my hand and on my leg.

307

00:
37:18,778 -- 00:37:21,989

-Through your wet suit?

-l don't know. l guess so.

308

00:
37:22,657 -- 00:37:23,741

God.

309

00:
37:24,659 -- 00:37:25,910

Are you okay?

310

00:
37:25,994 -- 00:37:28,245

No. l'm not okay.

311

00:
37:28,788 -- 00:37:31,874

Are you okay?

l mean, how can we possibly be okay?

312

00:
37:31,958 -- 00:37:33,500

Come on, honey.

313

00:
37:34,502 -- 00:37:36,962

l know, l know, l know. l'm sorry.

314

00:
37:38,256 -- 00:37:41,008

This really sucks, but we're going

to get through this, okay?

315

00:
37:41,092 -- 00:37:45,596

Okay.

316

00:
37:47,182 -- 00:37:48,724

l know, l know.

317

00:
37:49,309 -- 00:37:50,643

God, okay.

318

00:
37:52,437 -- 00:37:53,520

Okay.

319

00:
37:54,481 -- 00:37:57,566

l've just never heard

of anything so f***ed up in my entire life.

320

00:
37:57,651 -- 00:38:02,363

Who's ever heard of two people getting left

in the middle of the ocean before?

321

00:
38:03,657 -- 00:38:05,282

l have actually.

322

00:
38:06,826 -- 00:38:08,202

-You have?

-Yeah.

323

00:
38:08,286 -- 00:38:09,453

Where?

324

00:
38:10,330 -- 00:38:11,830

Dive magazines.

325

00:
38:12,290 -- 00:38:14,917

lt's a lot more common than you think.

326

00:
38:15,585 -- 00:38:18,796

Well, thanks for telling me

when we got certified.

327

00:
38:38,858 -- 00:38:41,193

-Over there.

-Oh, my God.

328

00:
38:41,277 -- 00:38:45,364

Daniel. God.

Please, please, please, let this be them.

329

00:
38:46,825 -- 00:38:51,328

God, l don't even care if it is them.

Just let them see us and pick us up.

330

00:
38:51,663 -- 00:38:53,163

-Come on.

-God.

331

00:
39:06,094 -- 00:39:08,345

l don't think they can see us.

332

00:
39:15,603 -- 00:39:16,854

Damn it.

333

00:
39:22,902 -- 00:39:24,695

Wish we had more sun.

334

00:
39:32,245 -- 00:39:34,329

-They can't see us.

-l know.

335

00:
39:38,626 -- 00:39:39,752

Sh*t.

336

00:
39:46,843 -- 00:39:48,469

They're leaving.

337

00:
39:49,262 -- 00:39:50,345

Yeah.

338

00:
40:26,466 -- 00:40:27,800

Stay close to me.

339

00:
40:40,480 -- 00:40:43,107

What if they don't know we're missing?

340

00:
40:43,441 -- 00:40:44,983

There's no way.

341

00:
40:45,652 -- 00:40:48,570

They took a head count on the boat.

l saw it.

342

00:
40:49,072 -- 00:40:51,907

Our stuff is onboard. We have their tanks.

343

00:
40:52,492 -- 00:40:54,451

And we know we've drifted.

344

00:
40:54,536 -- 00:40:57,663

lt may take them a while,

but they will find us.

345

00:
41:02,377 -- 00:41:06,130

l hate to tell you,

but l think my Dramamine is wearing off.

346

00:
41:06,798 -- 00:41:09,258

-You're getting nauseous?

-Yeah.

347

00:
41:10,301 -- 00:41:13,387

-Honey, l could kill those f***ers.

-l know.

348

00:
41:13,471 -- 00:41:17,182

lt's just all this going up and down

of the waves, l think.

349

00:
41:20,979 -- 00:41:22,938

You're probably getting dehydrated.

350

00:
41:23,022 -- 00:41:25,482

Yeah? But we can't drink the water, right?

351

00:
41:25,567 -- 00:41:28,193

No. l should've told you that before.

352

00:
41:29,237 -- 00:41:31,113

You didn't, did you?

353

00:
41:31,197 -- 00:41:33,115

-A little.

-Honey, stop.

354

00:
41:33,199 -- 00:41:36,660

lt will give you diarrhea

and make you even more dehydrated.

355

00:
41:36,744 -- 00:41:38,954

Great. Shark Week?

356

00:
41:39,873 -- 00:41:42,291

Disasters at Sea, History Channel.

357

00:
41:43,668 -- 00:41:46,128

l guess this means

l'm gonna have to stop complaining

358

00:
41:46,212 -- 00:41:49,047

about you watching

so much television, huh?

359

00:
41:49,549 -- 00:41:52,718

Glad to know

l'm gonna get something out of this.

360

00:
41:55,889 -- 00:41:58,390

l'm really, really not feeling well.

361

00:
41:59,184 -- 00:42:00,475

Oh, man.

362

00:
42:00,560 -- 00:42:05,272

You think maybe if l took my weights out,

then it wouldn't pull on me so much?

363

00:
42:05,899 -- 00:42:08,525

Just keep the belt, drop the weights.

364

00:
42:26,836 -- 00:42:29,671

Let's see them try to charge us for those.

365

00:
42:35,929 -- 00:42:38,305

Hey, we should put our gloves on.

366

00:
42:42,727 -- 00:42:44,478

How are your stings?

367

00:
42:45,313 -- 00:42:46,813

They're there.

368

00:
42:47,148 -- 00:42:51,276

lt's actually the one thing

l think the salt water is actually helping.

369

00:
42:52,445 -- 00:42:54,863

This glove isn't helping, though.

370

00:
42:59,577 -- 00:43:01,787

-God.

-Your stomach's bad?

371

00:
43:01,871 -- 00:43:03,538

l really don't feel very good.

372

00:
43:03,623 -- 00:43:06,416

All right, why don't you lay back

for a little bit?

373

00:
43:06,501 -- 00:43:08,043

-Yeah?

-Yeah. Just lay back.

374

00:
43:08,127 -- 00:43:11,046

-l'm sorry.

-lt's okay. l got you.

375

00:
43:11,631 -- 00:43:13,298

-Just relax.

-Okay.

376

00:
43:14,300 -- 00:43:16,093

-There you go.

-Okay.

377

00:
43:17,220 -- 00:43:19,888

-Just for a few minutes.

-Just relax. Close your eyes.

378

00:
43:29,983 -- 00:43:31,149

Daniel,

379

00:
43:32,819 -- 00:43:34,319

l have to pee.

380

00:
43:35,780 -- 00:43:36,863

Okay.

381

00:
43:38,283 -- 00:43:40,409

At least we'll be warm for a minute.

382

00:
43:40,493 -- 00:43:41,660

Thanks.

383

00:
44:38,051 -- 00:44:40,385

Daniel! Daniel!

384

00:
44:41,512 -- 00:44:42,721

Daniel!

385

00:
44:46,768 -- 00:44:48,435

God. Daniel.

386

00:
44:51,356 -- 00:44:53,982

Daniel! Daniel!

387

00:
44:56,736 -- 00:44:57,778

God.

388

00:
45:29,769 -- 00:45:30,936

Daniel!

389

00:
45:36,401 -- 00:45:40,278

Susan!

390

00:
45:40,571 -- 00:45:42,447

Daniel! Over here!

391

00:
45:42,532 -- 00:45:44,032

Susan!

392

00:
45:49,122 -- 00:45:50,872

-Susan!

-Daniel!

393

00:
46:06,514 -- 00:46:07,848

Thank God.

394

00:
46:12,812 -- 00:46:16,481

lt's okay. lt's okay. l got you. l got you.
