Poseidon Page #4

Get me out! Get me out!

Get me out of here!

I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.

Now, you feel that screw

on the other side?

- Yeah.

- Turn it to the left.

You got it?

Elena. Elena.

Hey, hey. Nelson tells me you're on

your way to see your little brother.

Is he older or younger?

- He's younger.

- Younger?

Yeah, he was always so small.

Elena, you don't want your little brother

to think you didn't come.

You understand?

- No. I'm too scared!

- Just reach up and grab Nelson's foot.

- Come on.

- Please.

Promise me I get to see him!

- Reach up and grab his foot!

- Push my foot.

Promise me I get to see him!

Okay, I promise.

I promise you'll see him, just reach up.

There you go. There you go!

Now push!

Just breathe. Come on, you got it!

Push, Elena.

Push him up! That's it, Elena!

Push! You got it, there, yeah!

You got it, there you go!

I did it, I did it, I did it.

- Oh, thank you.

- Now climb!

- Hurry, hurry!

- Come on, do it again.

It's... It's too tight.

Oh, my God.

How are we going up there?

We're working on it.

We need something up here

we could use as a screwdriver.

A coin, a ring, anything.

I can't even get into my pockets.

Wait, wait!

Oy vey, that would be ironic.

Conor, you're gonna do this.

Don't worry. Here we go.

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry up!

- Okay, turn it to the left.

- Okay.

Come on.

Can you reach it? Don't drop it.

Come on!

- Is that working?

- Yeah.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Come on, we got it.

Don't worry, sweetie,

Dylan's right behind me.

This thing's sealed from the other side!

It's the only way out.

- Except for this, maybe.

- Another vent? No, not again.

No, wait a minute. What's this up here?

Dylan, give me your hand.

I need somebody's help!

- We'll be okay.

- Got it.

There you go. Any idea where we are?

We got two more levels after this,

come on.

Got him?

Oh, my God. What is this place?

This is a ballast tank. They fill these up

to keep the ship stable.

That valve right there leads to the tank

next door. That may be our way through.

May be? What other way is there?

It's a pressure valve. It won't open

unless there's tremendous pressure.

- Oh, don't tell us we're trapped.

- No, no, it'll open.

How?

By flooding this entire tank.

- What?

- Exactly.

- No. You don't even know if it's gonna open!

- That's insane. It's nuts.

- Wait a minute. We drown ourselves?

- No. No one's drowning.

That valve will open...

...and the water'll carry us from one tank

to the next till we find an open hatch.

- How do we know there's an open hatch?

- Or if we can find it...

...before we run out of air?

- It's our only option!

What about the a.c. Vent down there?

We never tried that.

- Let's try the new vent.

- I can't go. I'm sorry.

- Just go without me.

- Mom, the water's coming!

Get away.

- Dylan, listen to me.

- We need to make a decision.

You better be right. Flood it.

- Oh, my God.

- Everybody, back up. Get back!

- What? No.

- Dylan, you can't.

- Now, get back there.

- Jen, come here. Come here, honey.

- Get back! Back up! Ready?

- Just open the valve!

- Now! Over here!

- All right, stay calm.

- Come on, just grab on!

- I can't...

Nelson!

Nelson.

Hang onto the side!

- Chris!

- Baby, hold on tight!

- That's it.

- Oh, my God!

- Start swimming!

- Hold on, baby!

Hold on!

Get away from it!

You okay?

Come on!

Dad!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Where's Dylan? Dylan!

Where's Dylan? Can you see him?

There's a... There's an open hatch.

Right here. Take a deep breath.

- We're gonna go through.

- How far?

- Take a deep breath!

- Right here.

- Is there a way out?

- I'm sure there is.

- Maggie!

- Okay.

- Maggie, give him to me.

- No, I've got him.

Let me take him. I was a swimmer

in high school. I tell you, I got him.

Where's Nelson and Elena?

They were right behind me.

Sweetie, move back.

Come on, breathe!

Come on, everybody.

Come on.

You were never on the swim team.

Nope.

Think we got a hallway here.

Let's go.

All right. Come on, come on.

There we go. There we go.

Here.

Conor, go back to Dylan!

Hang on a second.

Wait, wait, wait!

What is it?

- It's a rescue.

- Hello!

- Hey, hello! Hello!

- Hello!

- Hello!

- We're inside!

- Hello!

- Is anybody there?

- Hello!

- Hello!

- Hey, we're here!

- Can you hear us?

- Hello!

- We're here!

Hello? What is it?

It's nothing.

Flash fire.

Superheats the air.

Burns the lungs like rice paper.

Hey, guys. Down here. Down here.

- What do you got?

- Down this corridor is the bow, right?

There's an access hatch right there

that puts us into the bow-thruster room.

We get into the propeller tubes and the

only thing between us and the outside...

...is nothing.

- All right. Let's go.

Let's go. That's our way out.

All the way to the end, and up the hatch.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Conor!

- Bow's underwater.

- What does that mean?

- The thrusters are under there.

- How far? Maybe we can swim.

No. It's too far.

There's something else we can do, right?

What do you think?

Hey.

All right.

All right, we gotta get back up

to high ground.

We're gonna find another way out of here.

Break into twos.

Everybody start looking for

an emergency exit, any exit. Let's go.

Come on.

Have you found anything?

Nothing. There's just no way out.

You know, there's nothing fair

about who lives and dies.

You gave Elena a chance.

You gave everybody a chance.

You did great.

- What is that?

- Oh, my God, not again. Conor!

Conor!

Maggie!

That cleared the bow!

Come on, let's go! Come on.

We can get out now.

Come on.

You go.

Maggie! Maggie!

Maggie!

Maggie!

Oh, my God.

Maggie. Maggie. Hey, hey.

Are you hurt? Are you hurt?

- Conor! Conor!

- Are you okay?

Maggie, we'll find him. We'll find him.

Come on. Come on!

Conor!

That's gotta be the propeller tube.

Come on!

Come on, look for an opening.

What is that?

No. No. No. No, Nelson, don't!

- I got him. Come on.

- Lift.

Pick him up. Ease back.

Watch his head.

- Conor!

- Conor!

Mom!

Mom!

Conor!

Chris. Chris, come here!

You gotta hurry,

the water's rising fast!

I wanna show you something. Here.

Here. Take a look at this.

The control room for these engines

is down this ladder...

...and through about

We have to get there and shut them off.

No. No, look, we'll grab a bunch

of this junk, right?

We throw it up into the props,

and it'll jam everything up.

The propellers are turning the wrong way.

It'll kick everything back in.

Chris, we need to shut them off.

- Conor!

- Conor!

Honey.

- Honey!

- I'm in here!
