Pressure Page #6

I figure I owe someone.

It might as well be you.

I need to know.

When I swam to the surface,

I waited.

I waited for the driver

of the other car.

I would have killed him

with my bare hands.

And when I swam down

to check if he was dead...

I saw him, his kid,

strapped in the back.

I could have saved him.

He died because of me.

Now go. Come on.

COMMANDER (OVER RADIO) We're

scanning the surface for you.

Teams are in the water. Over.

Roger that, Commander.

Remember what I told you, kid.

Take it slow.

Keep your movements

and breathing steady.

Talk to me.

Talk to me.

Kid?

I hear you.

Just keep going.

Concentrate.

Push through it.

Keep going. Keep going.

[JONES] I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

Okay, you're gonna feel pain.

You're gonna feel pain

in your joints. That's okay.

You just need

to work yourself through it.

You're gonna feel as if your

body's about to explode.

But you can get through it.

You can get through it. Kid?

Come on, kid.

My arms! My arms!

Can you hear me, kid?

I'm scared. I'm scared.

I know you're scared,

but you can do it!

You can do it! Come on!

You can do it, kid.

You can do it.

How much further?

You've got about another 20 feet

on the umbilical...

and then you're almost home,

all right, kid?

I want you to empty

your lungs of air...

and then I'm gonna

want you to detach.

I want you to get rid

of your hat.

You're gonna start feeling

like a lead weight...

when you get to the surface,

okay?

Detach the hat now!

It won't detach!

I can't take it off!

Detach!

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

I hope you're close.

I hope you're close, Commander.

Come on, kid. Come on, kid.

Come on. Come on.

Got you, son! Hold on!

Get on-board, quickly!

Lift!

COMMANDER (OVER RADIO)

We've got him. We've got him!

They've got him.

They've f***ing got him.

They've got him.

I see my window open

The summer sun pours in

I hear a Siren calling

a tune we used to sing

Walk out to hear

the birdsong

Look back from where I came

My tears

are tiny storm clouds

I'm dancing in the rain

Walk out

to hear the birdsong

Look back from where I came

My tears

are tiny storm clouds

I'm dancing in the rain

All she ever wanted

was to see a satellite

She talked about its beauty

and the magic of its light

She went on

about the future

And the endless games

he played

Like a wave forever cresting

her desire would not fade

Throw it in the water

count the leaps and bounds

Hear the ripples thunder

causing havoc underground

Sink your teeth in gently

taste the blood you drew

Remark upon her beauty

for she's your perfect view

Stillness overcame her every

thought and every whim

The future she had made was

never meant for her or him

The satellite flew over but

she missed it all the same

As she whispered

from her row boat

A prayer said

in love's name

Throw it in the water

Count the leaps and bounds

Hear the ripples thunder

causing havoc underground

Sink your teeth in gently

Taste the blood you drew

Remark upon her beauty

for she's your perfect view
