It's worth it

when you find someone,

but, otherwise, it's just date

after date after date.

Sounds real tough.

You know

what I'm talking about.

Well...

Or not.

Come on.

It can't be that bad for you.

You're probably breaking hearts

every weekend, aren't you?

No, not really.

This is going to be fun.

Okay,

a few things to remember.

Hansu Technologies needs us

just as bad as we need them,

but don't let them

know that.

Be professional,

but keep the upper hand.

And don't do anything

to mess this up.

What's the scope

of the contract?

Deal points on page 4.

We need to memorize these, okay?

I don't want any confusion

on our part.

There's some power issues with

this chip for what they need.

It might be better to have

a different configuration.

Just tell them

what they need to hear, okay?

[ alarm beeping ]

Man:

what was that?

Man #2:

I think it was a bird.

We're losing power.

Reduce speed.

Is everything okay?

Mr. Taylor, stay in your seat

and strap in.

Well, what happened?

Left engine's failing.

What's going on?

- Left engine's on fire!

Pull the fire handle.

Are we going to be okay?

We're losing fuel pressure

in the right engine.

Switching frequencies.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Control, this is a distress call

for Nancy 294 Tango Lima.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Nancy 294 Tango Lima has lost

power in its left engine.

Losing power in the right.

We're descending rapidly.

Request

immediate assistance.

We're still falling

too fast.

Control, this is Nancy 294

Tango Lima, losing altitude.

No one's answering.

Take over on radio.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Any ATC,

repeat, any Control Center.

Nancy 294 Tango Lima

is losing altitude.

We're drifting off course.

We can't hold it.

There's something ahead.

Anywhere to land?

- Maybe.

We're not going to make it.

We're gonna try

a water landing.

Nose up!

Mayday, mayday, mayday!

Nancy 294 Tango Lima

is going down.

[ alarm beeping ]

[ gasps ]

Where's Megan?

Did you get the raft?

What?

So we don't drown!

What raft?

The plane had one,

didn't it?

Megan!

You should have

grabbed it!

Help me find her.

What about sharks?

Megan!

Come here.

You're okay.

Megan.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Over there!

It's not too far.

Think you can make it?

Where are the pilots?

I think

I'm going to be sick.

It's okay, all right?

Just --

Just breathe.

Chris.

Come here.

What's this?

Cellphone.

Do you think

we get reception out here?

You're the tech guy.

Maybe it'll help.

Are you hurt?

My neck is stiff.

He's stiff-necked.

Where do you

think we are?

Indonesia, I think.

Where, though?

Were we even close to Kupang?

All I know

is we're on an island.

There's over 17,000 islands

in Indonesia.

That doesn't

narrow it down.

Great.

Seriously?

Hello!

What are you doing?

I don't think

anybody heard you.

Well, why don't we use

the cellphone?

Hello?

Anyone out there?

There's nobody here.

Not that we can see.

The last thing we want

is thinking we're stranded,

and there's actually a town

or resort half a mile away.

Hello?

Is anybody there?

I couldn't find anything

close-by.

Maybe tomorrow

we can search some more.

Plus, we need to find

some water.

I could use some

right now.

Yeah.

It's getting

kind of dark.

We'll have to wait

till morning.

With any luck, someone

will have come for us by then.

Yeah, someone had

our flight plan, right?

What about

the black box?

Actually, that's for

when they find the wreckage.

Oh.

But someone had to notice,

right?

Of course.

I'm sure someone noticed

when we went off radar.

Plus, they're expecting us

to land.

Between those two things,

they'll be looking.

What the...

I'm ready to go home.

Uh. Rocks don't make

good pillows.

You sore?

It's just my back.

Come here.

Huh? Uh. Oh.

Ohh.

Oh, yeah.

Right there.

Hey, do you guys see that?

Mark:

Chris, go check it out.

You're not coming?

Dude, these shoes have

no traction.

Be careful.

Thirsty?

Is that even good?

Yep.

Hey, Mark!

What is it?

My bag!

I don't suppose

mine made it.

That brick?

That's at the bottom

of the ocean.

Here.

You want to take this back?

[ gasps ]

Mark:

what is it?

Chris:

It's one of the pilots.

Why don't you take that bag

and see what we can use?

Mark, give me a hand.

With that?

Him. Yes.

Well, he's dead.

We can't

leave him here.

Why not?

Remember the tide?

Do you want him washing up

in the middle of the night?

Better to lay him

to rest.

Thanks for all you did.

I'm so thirsty.

We should have had something

ready to drink.

Hey, you had some orange juice.

Besides, that needed to be done.

Fine.

It's done.

Now we should seriously

think about getting some water.

I'm all for it.

We can use these

and refill them.

And I can finally get

out of this shirt.

Wow.

What?

Wasn't me.

Hey, can I use these?

Sure.

I can fix those.

Oh, thanks.

There you go.

Thanks.

I'll buy you a new pair of jeans

when we get back.

Don't worry about it.

They look a little loose.

I'm glad, 'cause if we were

the same size...

Here. Try this.

Huh?

Uh.

Sorry.

You get the idea.

Not bad.

Let's go.

I'm not sure

we should all go.

What do you mean?

What if a rescue comes?

If we're in the middle of

the island, they can't find us.

You really think they're

gonna find us that quickly?

I'm a V.P. in the company.

Of course they'll come.

All right,

you can stay.

But it's gonna be awhile

before we find water

and bring it back

to you.

Plus, if we're lucky,

we'll find some food.

Okay.

I could really go for a burger

right now.

Or a nice cut

of filet mignon.

I'm up for any food.

There's always that.

I'm not that hungry.

Hey, can you guys

wait a minute?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Where are you going?

Uh...

Nature's calling.

Be careful.

So, how do you

know Megan?

Aside from work?

Yeah.

We go to the same church.

Really?

So, she's like

a religious type?

I was talking.

Mark, catch.

Oh, there you are.

Fruit?

Wow.

No bugs.

Hey, look what Mark

got us.

Well, if we don't find water,

we can make juice.

We should also see

what else we can find to eat.

There's always fish.

Gross.

What?

I don't like seafood.

I don't think you're gonna find

a cow on the island.

I can dream.

Do we even know

where we're going?

Not really.

So, we could be walking

in circles.

Who knows? I left the map

back at the beach.

Great.

We are doomed.

[ chirping ]

Hey, if you think

you can do better...

I don't think.

I know.

Megan:
Guys.

- Lead the way.

Do you hear that?

I will.

They're just birds.

Those aren't birds.

Bats! Go!

[ all screaming ]

Bats! Bats!

Bats!

Get away! Get away!

Water!

Water!

You screamed

like a girl.

I am a girl!

I was talking about Mark.

I hope Hansu Technologies

doesn't back out.

Seriously?

That's what

you're hoping for?

Well, word is gonna reach

our competitors.

I don't want to lose the deal

'cause we took too long.

I think we have
