I'm not a great swimmer.

I don't think I could swim that far.

Yeah, no. Me neither.

OK.

All right. I'll go down below and see

what I can find to keep us afloat.

You need a hand?

Yeah, if you're in the water,

I'll pass out whatever I find, yeah?

- You OK?

- Yeah.

- Here goes.

- OK.

Luke! Luke!

Hey, Luke! Luke!

Luke, mate, can you hear me?

There's something in the water.

Hey! Luke, quickly, get out! It's close!

Get out now! Get out!

Luke, there's something

in the water! Could be a shark!

Luke, come on! Hurry up!

Get out! Luke!

Luke!

Luke!

Something broke the surface, over there.

- Well, what was it?

- I don't know, but it was big.

All right.

I've still got to find the EPIRB.

So unless you see a really big shark,

don't warn me.

See you soon.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Found it.

- You know how to kick it off?

- It's good, mate.

Yeah? OK, great.

Try that.

- For you.

- Thanks, mate.

- What? What's the matter?

- You'll look like a seal in that.

Sharks love seals.

Mate, you don't wanna come,

that's your business.

Don't go scaring everyone else,

all right?

Maybe we should wait.

OK, it's your choice.

Look, I know

this is a difficult decision,

but it's really easy

not to get found out here.

This boat's gonna sink

and it's gonna sink soon.

There's land over there and that's

where I think we should be going.

I'm going with Luke.

Me too.

That's yours.

Here you go. Take that. Yours.

- I'm not going.

- Hey?

I'm gonna stay here.

It's a better option

than staying on the boat.

What, swimming to an island

you can't see?

Kate...

OK.

- OK, that's for you.

- Thanks.

Are you sure about this?

Yeah?

- We'll send someone as soon as we can.

- OK.

- OK?

- Yep.

See you, mate.

See you soon.

Bye.

- See you back there.

- Definitely.

What are you doing?

You know he knows the ocean

more than any of us.

- Come on, Katie, come with us.

- I can't.

I just... I just can't.

- See you later, sis.

- Bye.

Yeah?

OK, let's go.

- You look after her for me, all right?

- I will, don't worry. We're good.

OK, so let's stick together.

We're gonna get tired,

but if we just stay at a steady pace,

we'll get there, yeah?

Apart from that, relax and enjoy.

It's a once in a lifetime.

Let's go.

Hey, guys!

- Not so much splashing.

- Did you see something?

- No.

- Hey! Hey, wait!

Wait! I'm gonna come with you!

Come on. Come with us.

- No.

- Are you sure?

Yeah, no, you go. I'll be right.

This is nuts.

I hope you're right about this.

You're not the only one.

Guys, don't worry, we'll make it.

We'll get there.

- Here, take this.

- Are you sure?

Yeah, it's all right.

We'll share this one.

Thanks.

Hey, guys. We're tired.

So we focus our energy, huh?

Imagine there's a guy with a huge rope

pulling us towards the island.

- Or towards my bed.

- Mm.

- There's always the last resort.

- What's that?

When I'm at the gym and I'm trying

to break through the pain barrier,

I imagine that I'm having sex.

While you're doing weights,

you're imagining you're screwing?

Notjust screwing.

There's foreplay as well.

Well, isn't there?

Not often.

Oh, come on!

Don't listen to her.

- Sh*t. What was that?

- What?

Oh!

What is it?

Can't see anything.

I think it's a school of small fish.

- What are they doing?

- I don't know.

OK, let's keep going.

Come on.

- What is it?

- Looks like a shell.

- It's a turtle shell.

- Yeah, I think you're right.

A turtle?

Hey, Matt.

Mattie.

Oh, f***!

Let's get the f*** out of here.

Come on, Suze.

Hey, we can't stay here.

Come on.

I don't wanna stretch my legs out,

I really don't.

- OK, all right.

- I can't move.

It's all right. Listen, we've gotta go.

So do you want me to go behind you?

Come on, love.

I'll go behind you, OK?

I got you.

- You OK?

- Yeah.

- That was a big turtle.

- F***, yeah.

What was that?

- What?

- Over there, I saw something.

I can't see anything.

- Suzie, you're freaking me out.

- What's the matter?

- There's something here.

- We have to keep going.

- There's something following us.

- Suze, this is the ocean, OK?

There's a million things out here, bub.

We've gotta keep going.

We've gotta get going.

Come on. Gotta go, all right?

- It's all right.

- There!

- All right, Suze, listen...

- I'm sure I saw something and it's big!

- OK, so what did you see?

- I don't know. There! There, look.

I can't see anything.

Over there.

- Did you see something?

- Don't know. Maybe.

- I told you.

- What was it?

- Was it a shark?

- I don't know, OK?

Let's keep going.

- OK, it's a shark.

- How big?

It's big. It's all right. Come together.

I can't see it.

Get in together.

Can you see it?

Luke, can you see it?

I think it's gone.

I can't see it anywhere.

Let's go. Let's go.

We've gotta go this way.

This way.

It's OK, it's OK.

I can't see it. It's moved away.

It's OK. I can't see it. I can't see it.

You need to calm down.

I can't see it. It's OK.

It's OK. It's OK.

You have to stay calm.

Katie. Katie.

Katie. Katie. Katie.

Take some deep breaths with me.

Deep breaths. Come on.

You'll be all right. It's not gonna

get you. It's not gonna get you.

Take a deep breath.

It's gonna be all right.

Deep breath.

That's it. That's it.

Matt. Matt.

Hey, Mattie.

Matt.

Matt.

- Matt!

- Matt!

- Matt!

- Matthew!

Matt! Matt!

Matt! Mattie!

Matt!

There he is. Mattie!

No! Go! Go!

My f***ing leg's gone!

No! Go! No!

My leg's gone. You gotta...

No, you gotta go!

- You gotta leave me!

- It's OK, it's OK.

- Swim. I'm useless to you.

- No, you're coming with us.

- Mattie, it's OK.

- He's gonna... He's gonna come back.

Mattie, Mattie, Look at me.

It's OK. Just stay with me.

- Quick, before he... before he...

- No, no, no. No, no, no.

Mattie. Mattie.

Matt. Mattie.

Matt. Matt, come on, come on.

Wake up. Wake up.

Please wake up. Wake up.

Wake up, wake up.

Come on. Mattie, wake up!

Wake up! Please wake up!

Wake up. Please.

Katie!

Katie, get out of there now!

Oh, God. I love you.

Katie!

- Come on!

- Oh, God. I love you.

Hey.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

- Did you say something?

- No.

- What?

- You said something.

It's gonna come back, isn't it?

Isn't it?

Didn't you say

we'd be there in three hours?

How are we gonna get there now?

We're lost in the middle of the ocean

in the middle of the f***ing night!

- Suzie...

- We never should have listened to you.

We should have stayed on the boat

with Warren.

And now Matt's dead!

And soon we're gonna be too!

- We're f***ed! We're so f***ed!

- Suzie!

We're so...

I'm sorry about Matt.

And I'm sorry about all of this.

Luke, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

You didn't make us come with you.

It's all right.

It's all right. Hey.

It's all right.

What was that?

Oh, my God.

Come together. Come together.

Oh, my God!

I don't wanna die!

I don't wanna die!

Please! Help us!

Oh, God, somebody help us!
