Move it! Quickly!

- Did you find Drew?

- She's not on the boat.

Did someone run a count?

She's probably on another boat, sir.

Now, just get on, OK?

About these fires. Something's strange.

Your board's lit up.

This is sulphur-based smoke.

- It makes no sense.

- Alex, come on.

I can only lower the boat

when the ship isn't moving.

I've got no time left...

...and I don't know

what this guy is capable of!

What guy? What guy?!

We're on our way.

Oh, my God! The boat is moving!

(screaming)

What is happening?

Annie, jump!

(Juliano) We have to bring it back up!

Hold on to the rails!

Ensign, what's going on?

The winch must be jammed!

We gotta stop the ship!

I don't have any control!

Now get out of the way!

What...? What...?

What are you doing?

That cable will never hold...

...and we've got to get them out.

What do you mean, we? Alex?

(screaming)

- OK.

- (Annie) You got it?

Be careful.

I'll be right back.

OK.

(sighs)

What the hell is he doing?!

He said he'd be right back!

We better get that end back up!

If it hits the water on that angle...

...it'll collapse!

Don't move!

Please!

Please pull us up!

We're trying.

Stay calm and keep the weight balanced.

We'll bring you up one by one.

She's still there!

I know she's still on the ship!

Celeste, where are you going?!

No, no, no! Don't climb out!

Don't... Don't move!

Lt'll fall!

(screaming)

Oh.

Throw me a rope! I need to attach...

Oh, sweetheart, it's not your fault.

(Annie) OK. Oh, here. OK.

Watch out!

Now, get the rope! Grab the rope!

I'll get it!

(Alex) Careful!

I got the rope!

Tie it up to the hull!

Pull the slack!

Be careful!

OK!

Whoa! Whoa! Aah!

(screaming)

Whoa! Whoa!

Hold on! Pull them up!

Whoa!

Aagh!

Help!

Alex! Alex!

Dante!

Help! Help!

(grunts)

Help! Help!

Oh! Help!

Help!

Come on.

Pull me up, please! Pull!

Alex! God. Yes, you are nuts.

- Come on. Pull me up.

- I got you.

Please pull!

(Alex) Get another line!

Quickly! Get another line!

(groans)

There has to be something else!

The gangplank! Get the gangplank!

Alex. Alex, Alex.

Hi, uh...

Get everybody on here if you can.

OK.

OK. Thanks, man.

Thank you. OK, thanks.

(Annie) OK.

Thank you.

That's the last one, sir.

(beeping)

Officer, it's Merced.

- (beeping)

- Yes?

(Merced)

We have a situation on the bridge.

I bet we do!

Keep everybody together, Rudy.

I'll be on the bridge.

Stay with the passengers.

(alarm ringing)

It's the radar.

First I thought this was a heavy fog bank,

but it's not moving.

(keystrokes)

(Juliano) Saint Martin.

Well, there is a harbour on Saint Martin.

He must be stopping us on the island.

What's the heading?

It is full at southeast 165.

You think that's where he's taking us?

You think that's the harbour?

He's taking us to the cliffs

next to the harbour.

He's gonna slam us into a wall.

How long before we hit?

Sir, get back with the other passengers.

How much time have we got?

I'm the first officer on this ship, OK...

...and you're...

You've lost control of autopilot,

so there's got to be a hard wire link.

Yes, that's exactly right, sir.

But he's running it all by remote,

and there's nothing you can do.

We gotta find the transmitter.

So how's he transmitting the fires?!

The fires don't exist. They're not real.

Smoke canisters. Stun grenades.

Probably put them in the air ducts.

They're small.

They roll...

...like...

...these.

Golf balls.

Golf balls, golf balls.

Geiger. Let's go get him right now.

Get his cabin number.

We'll get him. I'll get him.

We're locked out.

Where are the skeet guns?

Right here.

- (thump)

- (man) Ow.

Aagh!

Why's everyone trying to kill me?!

What happened? Are you OK?

Ow. Ow.

(Juliano) Stay down, stay down.

You're OK.

I can't override it.

He's changed all the access codes.

We have a very sick boy.

(Geiger) Exactly.

Do you think I'd be doing this,

if I still had my health?

It ends now.

I know who you are.

I know you, too.

You look a little wet.

You see, Alex...

...I designed this whole autopilot system.

My company sold it off to almost

every shipping line in the world...

...but when I got sick, they fired me.

I had no defence. They just threw me away.

But now I have

a more aggressive defence system.

(beep)

Tell me, Alex...

...did you ever have

a false sense of security?

Aagh!

(explosion)

Everybody, to the deck!

Go! Go! Go!

(chuckles)

Nothing's secure, Alex.

(coughing)

That was odd.

You call that odd?

What kind of cop are you?

You're gonna get us all killed!

No, that's his plan.

Where's engine control?

What? Engine control?

We're gonna stop the ship,

then we're gonna get him.

I want you on the upper deck

with the other passengers!

Fine! I'll find it on my own!

Merced, go with him!

Sir, he's highly irrational.

You're an officer on this ship.

Now, make sure he doesn't touch a thing!

Ashton, you OK? Come on, get up.

(man) Keep it moving.

Annie. They won't organize a search...

...but I know Drew didn't get away.

She's got to be here somewhere!

- They'll find her.

- Just keep it moving.

(hollow metal pounding)

This way!

Hello, miss. This way.

Dante, stop it.

Do you hear that? Listen.

Yeah,

I hear something coming from down there.

Where? Show me. Come on.

- (hollow metal pounding)

- (woman) Harder!

Can anybody hear?! Hello!

Alejandro, I don't like this.

I really don't like this.

It's coming from down here somewhere.

(Alejandro) Anyone!

(Alejandro) Hello!

Is anybody in there?!

Yes!

Yes, we're trapped!

Get us the hell out of here!

We're trying!

Is there a little girl in there? Drew?

No! Just big women!

Excuse me!

I mean, normal-sized women!

Come on, get us out of here!

Oh, my God,

there's smoke coming out of the vent!

(woman) Everybody get back!

It's coming out everywhere!

Ow. We're trying.

Try to block the vent!

Don't worry. We'll get you out!

What are you doing?

They told us to block the vents.

She's right.

I'll help you, lady.

Alejandro, qu pasa?

This smoke's gonna kill us off.

(Dante) Everybody just hang on!

We'll get you out in a second!

Help me, Harvey!

I'm trying to save your life!

(Dante) Just hang on!

OK. What is this?

Try that.

- This... this won't work.

- Just try it. I'll find something else.

I told you this won't work!

(coughing)

It's coming out everywhere.

Harv, give me your pants!

My pants?!

No-one else is taking off their pants.

I took off mine.

Why hasn't she taken anything off yet?

Cos I'm not wearing any underwear,

Harvey.

Oh.

(woman) I can't breathe.

(man) Come on, hurry up!

Come on!

What do we have?

Yeah, this'll do.

This will do.

Did you try

to close the fuel tanks manually?

Yeah, but he's sealed off

all access to engine room four.

Which of these controls the autopilot?

I don't know. I'm the navigator.

I'm not familiar with this equipment.

Oh, you're not familiar?

I see.

Are you, uh...

...familiar with this?

Sir, this is Merced in engine control!
