Do you know what that's like?

It's a tomb!

I understand how you feel.

I feel the same.

I know that your heart is

in the right place.

- And where's yours?

- It's not about you!

It's over!

It's over, Laurence.

I have something for you.

Hi.

MARIA:
It's the best empanada in town.

Mmm.

I mean well.

I do.

I say everything I think.

That's my trouble.

I aim to please.

Somehow l...

I always find a way to miss.

Not by miles,

but I can't seem to learn

from my mistakes.

You have to sleep.

Thank you.

(SOBBING)

We heard the news, Minister. I'm sorry.

Don't be. No one is dead yet.

Restart the drill.

You got it. You have the azimuth?

Who?

The azimuth. The angle, Minister.

SOUGARRET:
Hey, Laurence.

You need some help?

What's on your mind?

GOLBORNE:
Ground.

Refuge.

Drill.

Look at the direction.

Look how I drew it.

Yes, but I don't get your point.

We learn from our mistakes.

Let the toughness

of the rock be the guide.

Your drill is facing

in the wrong direction.

- Exactly.

- This doesn't make any sense.

Only if you aim to...

Miss.

Are you crazy?

You'll bring the mountain down

on top of these men.

Stop trying to think

like you're some kind of...

Why, yes.

We use the deviational measurement

from our last miss.

And we already know where

the rock is at its most dense.

It's so simple.

Learn from your mistakes.

Aim to miss.

(CHUCKLES)

Now you're thinking like a miner.

HURTADO:
Keep it going!

20-degree inclination.

HURTADO:
Keep going! More.

That's it!

MAN:
35!

Perfect!

ALEX:
If I have a girl,

I'm gonna call her Esperanza.

Jessi would like that.

DARIO:
Come on, Pastor.

Drink.

Stay with me, Pastor.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come...

LOBOS:
Forgive me, my Lord.

DARIO:
Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive

those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

(RUMBLING)

Drill.

Drill!

Drill!

Hey!

Come here! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Drill!

It's here!

It's here!

(BOTH SHOUTING)

Look, look! Look.

Look. Hey! Hey, guys!

ALL:
Hey!

(ALL CLAMORING)

We're here! We're here!

(WORKERS CONVERSING)

(FAINT CLATTERING)

Shh! I hear something.

Someone's alive.

Shut down the generators.

Could be rock fall.

Stethoscope.

Here.

(CLANGING THROUGH STETHOSCOPE)

(ALL SHOUTING)

I have the note.

I have the note!

(ALL CHEERING)

HURTADO:
Okay, stop!

It's been painted.

You sure it wasn't there before?

- HURTADO:
Definitely not, sir.

- There's something there.

Where?

- HURTADO:
Oh, my God.

- (LAUGHING)

HURTADO:
Oh, my God!

This message comes to us

from the depths of the earth.

From the very hands of our miners.

"We are all well in the refuge.

- "The 33."

- (GASPING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Viva Chile, mierda!

(ALL CHEERING)

- Gracias.

- De nada.

Gracias.

Susi!

Marta!

He's alive!

PINERA:
They're safe! They're all safe!

I knew you could do it.

We found them.

Now we got to get them out.

Nobody has ever done

anything like this before.

(ALL CHEERING)

PINERA:
God bless our miners!

God bless them!

GOLBORNE:

It's Luis Urzua, the supervisor.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

I can hear you.

This is Laurence Golborne,

the Minister of Mining.

How are you?

Seventeen days is a long time,

and after 17 days,

you wouldn't have blamed

rescuers for losing hope.

Until they got the sign, that is,

that 33 miners, all of them,

2,000 feet down,

were okay.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The families today get a chance

to do what they do once a week.

They get to meet via video conference

with their loved ones down below

for about 8 minutes.

Three platforms are now in place,

specialized in deep drilling.

The Australian drill, Plan A,

is going directly into

the miners' emergency shelter

which is 2,300 feet below the surface.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Down here is Plan B.

Now, this is a T-130 drill.

That is going to be manned

by the U.S. engineer Jeff Hart.

It's a pretty blunt instrument.

It's like a huge jackhammer.

But it could get through

the ground very quickly.

One guy has a drug problem,

another suffers from depression,

another guy is bipolar.

These men are going to start

killing each other

if they're down there for much longer.

And this is going to go on

for three months at least.

Three months?

- Are you recording?

- ALEX:
Yeah.

Uh...

My name is Mario Sepulveda.

Welcome to the.

San Jose Mine Resort Hilton.

We'll take a look around.

YONNI:
Guys, more palomas coming in!

Nikes.

And iPods for everyone!

YONNI:
Hey, Gomez!

Here are your dirty magazines.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

KATTY:
Mario?

ESCARLETTE:
Hi, Dad.

- Can you hear us?

- Can you hear, Dad?

Yeah. Yeah.

How are you? Other than skinny.

- Katty.

- You're so skinny.

Escarlette.

It's okay, Dad.

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

(JESSICA CHUCKLING)

Here it is.

Couldn't see if it was a boy or a girl.

Let it be a surprise, Alex.

I don't want to know.

As long as you two are good.

That's all that matters.

Dad...

Alex.

I've missed you.

MARIO:
Another one of us.

No, don't, don't...

People don't need to see that.

People don't need to see that.

And the fact that I was

in the military for a while

allowed me just to know

how to organize people.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

You are famous, Mario.

Don Francisco was here.

He said last night

that you were the most

famous man in Chile.

Don Francisco said that?

We will get you out.

And to see your families

by Christmas.

We'll be waiting for you.

Goodbye, and God bless.

- All right, he's gone.

- Christmas?

- Listen, listen.

- That's three months!

(ALL SHOUTING)

No, listen! Listen to me!

Disappointing news from Chile.

The Canadian drill, Plan C,

has been shut down indefinitely

due to unexpected technical difficulties.

The drill and its team,

which the families had high hopes for,

are now headed home.

(DARIO BREATHING SHAKILY)

Have your husband sign them.

And please,

if you have any questions, call me, okay?

I'm going to read them and talk to Mario.

We're talking about

a lot of money.

Katty,

keep it to yourself.

WOMAN:
Farkas!

MAN:
Look, it's Farkas!

How are you, how are you?

I'm going to give you enough money

so your husbands don't have

to work for a year.

I'm going to give you each $10,000.

(SOBBING QUIETLY)

Dario.

Dario.

The huge slab of rock,

the so-called "megastone,"

twice the size of the

Empire State Building,

is believed to have shifted

in the last few hours.

It has added yet more urgency

to the rescue effort here, on the surface.

We hit steel.

Most likely a horizontal support.

A beam or something.

Anyway, we busted the bit.

B*tch is stuck down in that

borehole like a dummy.

Let's replace the bit.

No, the piece of bit

is 1,420 feet down there.

We're not drilling until we
