for miles. Just get back

on the comms!

Then we follow the main

umbilical. It has to lead

us to the ship!

If it's still attached.

We don't know we're gonna

find what we need!

[HURST]

I say we try.

We're not gonna have enough gas.

[JONES] Bell to surface.

Look, we gotta do something.

If the bell freezes, we die.

[JONES] Mayday, Mayday.

We run out of air, we die.

We don't do something soon,

we f***ing die!

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

This is Jiuxing. Come in.

I've got something!

Bell to surface!

Give it to me!

Give it here!

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

Lorimer bell, Lorimer bell,

do you copy? Over.

Loud and clear. Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

Position, please? Position!

This is Jiuxing.

Why emergency? Over.

Our support vessel, the DSV

Lorimer, has gone down, repeat,

gone down.

We are a four-man

saturation diving team...

in a bell 670 feet

below sea level.

We are in urgent need

of assistance. Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

We can't hear you clear.

Signal weak.

Are there any Chinese citizens?

Negative. There are

no Chinese citizens on board.

But we are in need

of immediate assistance.

Repeat, immediate assistance.

Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

We-- fishing boat.

Storm has damaged...

Please respond. Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

Losing signal. Can't help.

Jiuxing, our last coordinates

are 19 degrees, 14 minutes

south...

71 degrees, 33 minutes east.

Over.

Please respond.

Jiuxing, do you copy? Over.

Jiuxing, please respond.

We are losing signal.

Bastards.

Do you know how much

I've spent on Chinese food?

Hurst, check and recheck

the cylinders on the port side.

We can't afford to lose

any more air.

Yeah, I'm on it.

EMMY LOU (V.O.)

You're lucky

I love your surprises.

Tell me.

Come on. I wanna know.

Walk out

to hear the first song

Look back from where I came

My tears

are tiny storm clouds

And dancing in the rain

[JONES]

You don't think anybody's

coming, do you?

If you don't have hope,

what do you have?

I have reason.

Onboard cylinder one secure.

Valve open and functioning.

OB cylinder 4 secure

on the starboard side.

Valve and reading's normal.

There's something

on the top of the bell.

Looks like a crane block.

Hurst, is there any damage

to the valve?

Hold on.

No, it doesn't look like it.

Okay, can you make it secure?

Yeah, I'm on it.

It's one heavy bastard.

Sh*t!

Mitch! Mitch!

Mitchell's down.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

What happened?

I-- I think he got hit.

No, Mitch is not moving.

He's not moving.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

What do you mean, he's not

moving? Can you read me?

I think he's unconscious!

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Mitch, respond.

Open his breathe flow.

I'm trying to open it.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Right. Turn him face down

and drag him back to the bell.

I can't move him.

There's not enough slack.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Hurst, what are you doing?

His umbilical's snagged.

F***! F***! It's stuck.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Detach him.

The f***ing thing is stuck.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Detach him.

F***! F***!

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Hurst.

What do I do?

I can't move him.

Listen to me. If you don't

detach him, he's gonna die!

I can't move him.

I can't move him.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Come on!

Here you go. You're okay.

You're okay.

Get that weight off him.

Get it off.

How are you still diving?

The mechanism was f***ed.

Your hands are useless. You have

no place being on the sat team.

What did you do,

forge your medical records?

How do you think I got

these hands?

Picking f***ing daisies?

18 years. 18 f***ing years

in the water.

18 years soaked in booze.

I nearly f***ing died.

I f***ed up. I'm sorry, man.

You just took your last dive.

Let's get this off.

CARMEN (OVER PHONE)

You've got the Mitchell

residence.

Unfortunately we're a bit busy

to take your call right now...

but leave your message

after the beep and we'll

call you back.

Have a beautiful day.

Mitch.

Yeah?

We've lost over half

of our air.

We've got to do something.

There's nothing that we

can do except wait.

Come on, even if they're

in the water, how are they

gonna know we're here?

We don't even know where we are.

[MITCH]

The bell's location beacon

transmits automatically.

And its range is what?

I don't know. 750 feet?

[ENGEL] So unless the boat is

directly above us, they won't

know we're here.

You've got to seal the bell

and take her to the surface.

You already know my answer.

What the f*** are you waiting

for? St Christopher?

Great.

Vaxxilon are coming, Engel,

and I'm not taking that risk.

[ENGEL] Of course, it's a risk.

So is doing nothing.

( HATCH OPENING )

I was joking about

your old man, you know.

What was he like?

He was a good diver.

And he was a funny f***er, too.

I barely saw him smile.

Yeah, well, families

ain't easy, are they?

When you're down here,

you wish you were back home.

And when you're with them,

you just wish you were

back down here.

It don't make a lot of sense.

I have a son.

I haven't seen or spoken

to him since he was five.

He's married now.

I don't even know

his wife's name.

That won't happen to me.

Yeah.

That's what we all say.

( HATCH OPENS, CLOSES )

MITCH (V.O.)

Even though I walk

through the darkest valley...

I fear no evil,

for you are with me.

The Lord is with you.

Wherever you go.

( RADIO STATIC )

( RADIO STATIC )

( RADIO STATIC )

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

Is there anybody out there?

( RADIO STATIC )

MITCH (OVER RADIO)

Is there anybody out there?

Hurst.

What happened?

Hurst's in the water.

What?

Hurst's in the water.

Hurst, come in. Over.

Oh, sh*t.

Hurst, what are you doing?

HURST (OVER RADIO)

I'm gonna fix things.

What does that mean?

HURST (OVER RADIO)

I'm gonna find the ship.

You are not authorized

to be in the water.

I am instructing you

to return to the bell now.

He'll never find the ship.

[HURST]

I remember your first

sat dive, Mitch.

You could barely put one foot

in front of the other.

I guided you.

MITCH (OVER RADIO)

I remember, okay?

Now, turn around. You're gonna

get yourself killed.

I was diving in the North Sea

when they were losing

over a hundred a year.

That was before all of you.

MITCH (OVER RADIO)

And I'm telling you...

to turn around.

HURST (OVER RADIO)

Go f*** yourself.

Hurst!

It's getting warm.

It's so warm down here.

How long have you been

in the water?

HURST (OVER RADIO)

He's missing his dad.

I'm still his dad.

[ENGEL]

He's rambling.

It's hypothermia.

They take from you,

but they don't want you.

They just push you--

The wreckage could be scattered

for miles.

Hurst.

I'm gonna have to sit down.

Hurst.

It's too hot. It's too hot.

Keep on top of things.

He's gonna freeze to death.

Can't we pull him in?

He's too far out.

The valve on his suit

won't hold.

Hurst, come in. Over.

It's going-- It's--

Should have...

Cut the gas.

He's wasting vital air.

We're not cutting off

anybody's breathing supply.

He's using three times
