Poseidon Page #5

Synopsis: It is New Year's Eve, and over 2,000 passengers & crew are ringing in the New Year aboard the huge cruise ship 'Poseidon' when it capsizes on the open sea in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean! A small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives. Preferring to test the odds alone, career gambler Dylan Johns ignores captain's orders to wait below for possible rescue and sets out to find his own way to safety. What begins as a solo mission soon draws others, as Dylan is followed by a desperate father searching for his daughter and her fiancée--a young couple who hours before couldn't summon the courage to tell him they were engaged and now face much graver challenges. Along the way they are joined by a single mother and her wise-beyond-his-years son, an anxious stowaway and a despondent fellow passenger who boarded the ship not sure he wanted to live but now knows he doesn't want to die.

- Conor?

- Mom!

Maggie, here!

Honey!

Oh, God. Oh, honey.

- How'd you get in there?

- I don't know, but the water's really high.

Look at me. Dylan's here,

and we're gonna get you out, okay?

Oh, my God, he's gone under! Conor!

Okay, look at me. Look at me.

Stay with me, okay?

I can't, I can't. I can't stay up.

- I can't find an access hatch.

- Baby, look at me. Look at me.

- I can't, I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- I can't stay up, Mom.

- Yes, you can.

But no one can swim that far.

We'll find another way.

You know how much I love you.

Yes. Yes, but don't do this.

- Dad. Dad, please!

- You're not gonna make it, sir.

You just won't! I mean, come on,

it's ridiculous. It's too far, you know it.

But I think that I could make it.

I think I could do it on one breath.

How would you get back?

You'd already be out of air.

One of us has to do this, all right?

It has to be the one that has the best

chance of making it, and that's me.

- Tell me I'm wrong.

- Dad.

You're not.

Chris...

...thank you.

- Yeah.

Baby, I need you to tell me

that you love me.

I need to hear it. It's all that matters.

Sir, I need you to tell me how l...

Daddy!

No! Daddy!

- Nothing.

- No, please!

Look, baby, the water's gonna rise,

and I am right here, okay?

I'm right beside this wall

touching you, okay?

I love you, Mom.

You have to be strong. I love you,

and I am here with you, okay?

Dylan!

- Oh, baby.

- Mom.

- Sweetie.

- Mom.

Jenny. Jen, listen.

Come on.

Okay, it's here.

Robert! Robert!

Dylan, over here!

- Where's Robert?

- The engines were running.

Control room's underwater. He wouldn't

let me go. He shut them down.

How long? How long?!

Wait! What's that?

Why are they still running?

He reversed the engines!

He's creating suction!

And we can throw junk up

into the props!

He's a genius!

Chris! The red tank!

Get back! Get back!

No!

I can't. I can't.

No!

Dylan!

Get out!

Dylan, no!

- Come on! Give me Conor!

- I'll take him.

Come on! Stay there.

Jen, come on, we gotta go.

Jen, we gotta go now. Come on.

We gotta jump.

Get to the raft.

Got it?

Hold on tight, honey!

Can you grab him? Grab him.

You got him?

- Guys, move!

- Oh, my God!

- No! Come on!

- Climb up!

Come on!

Come on, paddle!

Paddle!

Mom!

Ready?

Flare!

- Mom!

- There. There they are!

- Yeah!

- Look, Mom!

- Oh, baby.

- Mom.

Mom!

We're over here!
