Poseidon Page #2

- Grab the side of that.

- Okay.

- Conor!

- Come here. Grab the other side of that.

You're okay!

- His name Conor?

- Yeah.

All right, Conor, I want you to jump

into this curtain.

What are you doing?

I used to be a fireman. We're gonna

get him down safe and sound.

You'll be all right, Conor. Come on, kid.

Jump! Right now!

Sweetie.

Everything's okay.

Move this thing.

We need something to leverage this.

No.

I'll go.

It's just dead people, right?

- Baby, stay here.

- I'm here.

- Stay with me.

- We're gonna be okay.

Now, we're not sure exactly what

happened here, but our best guess...

...is that we were struck by what is

known as a rogue wave.

They're rare. They're unpredictable.

And they are lethal.

Now the good news.

The instant this ship was struck...

...emergency GPS locator beacons

were launched...

...so we are, at most,

several hours from rescue.

- Are we sinking?

- How do we get out?

Please. Do yourself a favor.

Follow the directions of my officers

and stay calm.

This room is a giant air bubble

holding up the ship.

Once these bulkhead doors

are sealed...

...we'll be safe from gas leaks,

fire and flooding.

We will be safe.

What are you doing?

I'm getting out of here.

Where are you going?

I'm going up.

And out through the bottom.

Wait. How are you gonna get out

of the bottom of the boat?

That's the part that's all sealed up.

She was in the nightclub.

We have people there.

I'm confident they're dealing with it.

You're confident? You can't reach them,

can you? I mean, what if they're dead?

Then your daughter's dead too,

and leaving this room won't help.

Half the people here have families

somewhere onboard.

You know disaster scenarios.

These folks start climbing over each other

trying to search the ship...

...they're gonna get killed.

- How do I get up there, captain?

- I'm sorry, but you need to stay here.

- How...?

- You may not leave this ballroom.

- Excuse me?

I'm within my authority

to compel you to stay.

Captain, I understand

you have no choice.

There's sick and injured people here.

You need to stay with them.

But I am going to find my daughter...

...and don't for one second

think you can stop me.

Dylan. What did you say to him?

Mom, there's holes at the bottom

of the ship with propellers in them.

You can't get out that way, sweetie.

Please tell him you can't.

Will you please take me and my mom?

Oh, Jesus.

Tell him you can't. Please.

But I can.

You think you can get us

off this boat safely?

What? Us? No.

Hey. We're going out

through the bow thrusters.

Captain's saying we should stay here.

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in what

the captain has to say. I'm an architect.

These ships weren't designed to stay

afloat upside down.

You know this ship?

- I know ships.

- Know where the disco is?

It's one story down, which is now up.

- Suddenly in the mood to go dancing?

- My daughter's in there.

Dylan, listen to me. Hey, Dylan, wait.

Let's stick together here.

We'll get my daughter...

...then we help each other find a way out.

- Look, man, I work better on my own.

- No offense.

- None taken.

So where's the nearest vertical access?

I'll know when I find it.

- Hey, hey. You work here, right?

- Yeah.

Where's the nearest vertical access?

Service stairs, like, in the galley.

Whatever you earn in a year, I'll double it

if you take us there now.

Done.

You got a plan, and now we got a map.

- Lf you're coming, keep up.

- Let's go.

Hey, Mom, are we going with them?

Yeah, baby, let's go.

Ramsey!

You know we have to seal

the bulkhead doors.

- Seal the doors.

- Yes, sir.

Don't touch anything, sweetie.

I know it's been a while, God,

and I've been out of touch...

...but please, please, please

be with me.

Be with me. Be with me.

What the hell did you go and do

to all these people?

Cover your face, honey.

- Those are the service stairs, right?

- Yeah, behind this.

Damn it.

People, we got a problem.

Hey. Hey, map. What's through here?

Yeah. That's the...

That's the service elevator.

We're gonna get through this.

Let's go.

Find something we can pry it with.

All right. What's through there?

Is there a way up?

- More stairs.

- More stairs. Okay, let's find something.

Careful. Careful. All right.

- Okay, get the front up.

- I got it.

Ready? One, two, three.

- Sh*t. Pick it up.

- Hold it!

- Don't let it rock.

- Easy.

I can't get leverage.

Hey, what if we go through up there?

The entertainment section's up there.

- Come give me a hand.

- We'll hold it steady. You'll be all right.

It's okay. Come on.

- Go.

- Come on.

Okay. Now put your back up

against this wall. Come on.

- Good.

- Hurry, hurry!

- Now give me a stirrup.

- Okay, okay.

Go up.

It's okay! Honey.

Okay. Send the kid. Come on.

Don't look down.

- Come on. All right.

- That's it. Don't look down, honey.

- It's okay.

- It's okay, son.

- That's it, that's it. Look, look.

- That's good.

That's it!

Excellent. Put your hands up.

Reach your hands up to me.

Up!

Gotcha.

- Good boy!

- Okay. Come on, Maggie.

Come on. Keep coming.

Good.

Okay, up. One, two, three.

Okay. I got this.

Damn it.

Hold on, hold on!

- Thank you, gorgeous.

- My name's Valentin.

Valentin. I love that name.

You... You go first.

- Come on.

- You go first!

- Come on, give me your hand.

- Give me your foot. Give me your foot.

I gotcha.

Hang on!

He's gonna take them both down.

- Stay back, sweetie.

- I'm gonna anchor us. Hold onto him!

Help me up!

- It's okay.

- Come on!

Help me up!

Give me one of my hands.

I'm losing him.

Shake him off.

Shake him off!

- Now, or you both die!

- No!

I'm so sorry.

Shake him off! Now!

No! No! No!

Come on!

- Captain.

- That felt like the galley.

Gas shutoffs must have malfunctioned.

The door seals,

will they keep the fire out?

- Yes, captain.

- Help! Somebody, over here.

God rest their souls.

I'll take a look.

Come on, I think I found a way.

Come on.

Maybe you could move your leg.

- L... Nothing.

- Try pulling it up.

Two girls squawking at you,

and nowhere to run. You are in hell, boy.

Any of you skirts ever changed

a goddamn tire?

Enlighten us, cowboy.

Feisty.

Never really works to pull when all you

really needed was some good pushing.

- Know what I mean?

- Hurry up and lift the thing!

All right, grab hold.

Three, two, one. Push!

Come on!

All right. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

We got ourselves a situation.

- We can do this.

- Come on!

Three, two, one, push!

Happy New Year.

Happy goddamn New Year.
