00:
46:17,150 -- 00:46:18,400

Oh, my God. What happened?

396

00:
46:18,484 -- 00:46:20,026

-l don't know. l don't know.

-Are you all right?

397

00:
46:20,111 -- 00:46:22,320

-l'm fine. You okay?

-What happened? Where did you go?

398

00:
46:22,405 -- 00:46:24,406

l must have fallen asleep

and we drifted apart.

399

00:
46:24,490 -- 00:46:25,782

-Jesus.

-l'm sorry.

400

00:
46:25,867 -- 00:46:27,742

You scared the hell out of me.

401

00:

-l'm so sorry.

-lt's okay. lt's okay.

402

00:
46:30,121 -- 00:46:33,248

l'm just so glad you're here. Oh, my God.

403

00:
46:33,332 -- 00:46:34,624

lt's okay.

404

00:
46:34,709 -- 00:46:37,878

How long were we sleeping?

God, l'm so out of it.

405

00:
46:39,839 -- 00:46:42,632

-Jesus, we've been in the water...

-Stay over here.

406

00:
46:43,301 -- 00:46:45,802

We've been in the water for seven hours.

407

00:
46:48,306 -- 00:46:51,600

-God. Daniel, l feel something on my leg.

-What?

408

00:
46:51,684 -- 00:46:54,519

-l don't know. lt hurts.

-ls it your sting?

409

00:
46:54,687 -- 00:46:56,188

lt's the wrong leg.

410

00:
46:56,522 -- 00:46:59,816

Oh, my God. lt really hurts.

Let me just try to get...

411

00:
47:00,234 -- 00:47:01,401

...so you can take a look.

412

00:
47:02,945 -- 00:47:05,530

-l don't see anything.

-l can't... ls it on the back?

413

00:
47:05,615 -- 00:47:07,365

-All right. Let me take a look.

-l just... l can't tell.

414

00:
47:07,450 -- 00:47:09,242

lt hurts all over the whole thing.

415

00:
47:09,327 -- 00:47:11,870

Just leave it alone, okay? Don't tap.

l don't want you to keep touching it.

416

00:
47:11,954 -- 00:47:12,954

l'm not touching it. l'm not touching it.

417

00:
47:13,039 -- 00:47:14,998

-Well, something is touching it.

-lt's not me, honey.

418

00:
47:15,082 -- 00:47:16,708

-l'm not. Here, my hands are here.

-Something is tapping.

419

00:
47:16,792 -- 00:47:18,752

-Something is tapping on it.

-l will take a look.

420

00:
47:18,836 -- 00:47:20,837

-l'll take a look.

-Jesus!

421

00:
47:21,214 -- 00:47:23,548

God. l feel sick.

422

00:
48:11,973 -- 00:48:14,558

l'm sorry, honey. l threw up.

423

00:
48:14,642 -- 00:48:16,059

That's okay.

424

00:
48:16,852 -- 00:48:18,603

Fish got to eat, too.

425

00:
48:19,730 -- 00:48:21,022

Speaking of which,

426

00:
48:21,107 -- 00:48:24,192

that thing pecking at your leg,

it's just a little cleaner fish.

427

00:
48:24,277 -- 00:48:26,278

So, what about my leg?

428

00:
48:26,362 -- 00:48:28,238

Just a little cut.

429

00:
48:28,322 -- 00:48:31,032

-But, l mean, how did l get cut?

-l don't know.

430

00:
48:31,117 -- 00:48:33,660

Maybe you rubbed up against my knife

while we were sleeping or something.

431

00:
48:33,744 -- 00:48:36,246

Come on. lt wasn't a shark, was it?

432

00:
48:36,330 -- 00:48:38,206

-God, no, honey.

-Oh, my God. Are you sure?

433

00:
48:38,291 -- 00:48:40,625

No. lf it was a shark,

your leg would be gone.

434

00:
48:40,710 -- 00:48:41,876

Great.

435

00:
48:42,420 -- 00:48:46,464

At most, it was a teeny, little barracuda

just checking to see if you tasted good.

436

00:
48:46,549 -- 00:48:48,425

God. ls it deep?

437

00:
48:48,759 -- 00:48:50,385

No, it's not deep.

438

00:
48:50,469 -- 00:48:52,887

-Let's swim out of this puke.

-Okay.

439

00:
48:52,972 -- 00:48:54,222

Come on.

440

00:
49:01,939 -- 00:49:04,899

-ls that far enough, you think?

-Yeah.

441

00:
49:06,986 -- 00:49:09,237

-Baby, l'm sorry.

-l'm sorry.

442

00:
49:09,322 -- 00:49:11,573

l know how much you hate to throw up.

443

00:
49:11,657 -- 00:49:13,867

You want to rinse your mouth out

a little bit?

444

00:
49:13,951 -- 00:49:15,744

-Yeah.

-Just don't swallow any, okay?

445

00:
49:15,828 -- 00:49:17,329

Just spit it back out.

446

00:
49:19,123 -- 00:49:20,915

-Oh, man.

-Oh, my God.

447

00:
49:21,208 -- 00:49:22,959

l can still feel that tapping.

448

00:
49:23,044 -- 00:49:24,628

-What, the fish?

-Yeah.

449

00:
49:24,712 -- 00:49:27,547

-Try not to focus on it. Just relax.

-Okay.

450

00:
49:29,508 -- 00:49:31,301

-There you go.

-Okay.

451

00:
49:38,267 -- 00:49:40,101

What is it, honey? Are you okay?

452

00:
49:40,186 -- 00:49:42,979

-What is it, honey?

-lt's a leg cramp. lt's a leg cramp.

453

00:
49:43,064 -- 00:49:45,440

Can l help you? ls there anything l can do?

454

00:
49:45,524 -- 00:49:47,275

l got it.

455

00:
49:47,360 -- 00:49:50,028

We are really falling apart, aren't we?

456

00:
49:55,451 -- 00:49:58,912

Oh, my God. Honey. Oh, God.

457

00:
50:00,039 -- 00:50:01,873

They're gone. They're gone.

458

00:
50:01,957 -- 00:50:05,960

-Jesus, Daniel. What kind are they?

-The big ones.

459

00:
50:06,045 -- 00:50:09,589

-No, l'm serious. Are they the bad kind?

-l have no idea.

460

00:
50:10,216 -- 00:50:11,466

Oh, my God.

461

00:
50:28,526 -- 00:50:30,068

No, no, no. Be still.

462

00:
50:30,945 -- 00:50:34,656

-Don't splash around.

-My God. This can't be normal.

463

00:
50:41,163 -- 00:50:44,541

Honey, honey. Honey.

464

00:
50:45,960 -- 00:50:47,460

Are they gone?

465

00:
50:52,591 -- 00:50:55,343

God, l don't know what's worse,

seeing them or not seeing them.

466

00:
50:55,428 -- 00:50:56,803

Seeing them.

467

00:
52:13,214 -- 00:52:14,672

Unbelievable!

468

00:
52:15,925 -- 00:52:19,052

This is truly un-f***ing-believable!

469

00:
52:20,513 -- 00:52:24,057

And the best part is that we paid to do this!

470

00:
52:24,683 -- 00:52:26,100

We paid to be out here!

471

00:
52:26,185 -- 00:52:29,562

We paid those incompetent f***ers

to drop us out

472

00:
52:29,647 -- 00:52:32,148

in the middle of the f***ing ocean!

473

00:
52:34,026 -- 00:52:37,695

We wanted an ocean view.

Boy, did we get it?

474

00:
52:39,031 -- 00:52:40,532

Those f***ers.

475

00:
52:53,045 -- 00:52:54,671

You feel better?

476

00:
52:56,549 -- 00:52:59,008

l wouldn't exactly call it better.

477

00:
53:00,135 -- 00:53:01,928

You finished yelling?

478

00:
53:03,722 -- 00:53:05,223

l could be.

479

00:
53:06,684 -- 00:53:10,478

Well, good. You're not the only one

stuck out here, you know.

480

00:
53:12,147 -- 00:53:14,357

-What? Are you mad at me?

-No.

481

00:
53:17,236 -- 00:53:20,071

-Why? Because l was yelling?

-No.

482

00:
53:23,993 -- 00:53:26,202

Fine. You be mad.

483

00:
53:28,914 -- 00:53:31,624

lt's a great vacation, honey, isn't it?

484

00:
53:40,009 -- 00:53:42,927

So now we've entered

no-talking phase, huh?

485

00:
53:45,598 -- 00:53:48,933

Could you maybe answer

one last question?

486

00:
53:50,978 -- 00:53:53,980

Has this somehow, over the hours,

become my fault?

487

00:
53:57,526 -- 00:53:59,277

Let's just drop it.

488

00:
54:00,070 -- 00:54:01,404

Of course.

489

00:
54:16,337 -- 00:54:19,005

You believe what you want to believe.

490

00:
54:19,089 -- 00:54:22,800

But l know for certain

that we were in the right spot.

491

00:
54:23,427 -- 00:54:25,887

lt's not just a matter
