The Shallows
Woo hoo!
Woo hoooo!
Whoa!
Help me!
Helm me!
THE SHALLOWS:
Is that you at the beach?
Oh, no, no.
That's my-That's my mom.
Oh.
Yeah, she came to this beach
when she kind of...
she was pregnant with me.
I've never been but...
It's kind of our beach.
That's my little sister.
Are there more photos?
Um. You want to see more photos?
I can...
If you look only at the phone,
you're missing what is around you.
It's only for your eyes.
Real.
Authentic.
You're right.
Thank you.
Sorry, I'm American.
Not too many gringos here.
- Yeah, bummer.
- Thank god.
Anna:
I'm not going to make it to the beach,
my head is spinning :(
She's not coming.
Who?
Uh.
My friend, you know.
You know, the girl we
left back at the hotel?
You know, she smelled like
Don Julio and bad choices.
She always does this to me.
She just disappears.
She's like the Fantasmo, no?
You know-You know Fantasmo?
- Fantasma. Cuerno.
- Yes, Cuerno.
to come on this trip, Cuerno,
was to find the secret beach.
And now she's stuck back at
Islas Rocas with an Irish flu.
Nursing a hangover.
Yes, hangover.
Major hangover.
Nancy:
My professional opinion is to take
2 Advil + Zzz =
You do not like it when someone
change your plan, do you?
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
It's just...
You know, it's not fair.
You know why though?
It's because I'm reliable.
You know reliable?
Bossy.
I am reliable.
- Yes, bossy.
- Yes, bossy.
That's me.
Very bossy.
Anna:
Have fun! We'll catch up later.
Did you find the name
of the secret beach?
Hey, um.
What is this beach called?
You're not going to tell me, cool.
Cool frio.
You're tengo frio.
Not possible.
It's too hot here.
I mean you're cool.
You are being cool.
You know what?
It's okay.
American.
Is this the one?
Yes.
This is paradise.
It's perfect.
This is the island of
the pregnant woman, no?
The island.
- No.
- Yes.
The nose... the breasts...
and her stomach.
No.
Yes, it is for me.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
- No, no, no, please.
- No, please.
- Please. Please, I insist.
- No, no, no.
We were going the same way.
I live close by, so... don't worry.
- Oh. Are you sure?
- Yes.
Okay.
- Well, thank you.
- You're welcome.
I'm Nancy.
Carlos.
Charlie.
- Nice to meet you, Charlie.
- Nice to meet you.
I apologize for my Spanish.
I learned it in... high school.
You're in school?
No.
I mean I was in medical school.
But we didn't have Spanish there,
just cadavers.
I'll shut up... now.
Okay.
And dark in a few hours, so...
Oh, I never surf at night.
And how you...
getting out from here?
Uber.
Who is Uber?
Never mind.
Thank you, Carlos.
Thank you again
for taking me here.
- It means a lot to me.
- Okay.
What did you say the
name of it was again now?
I just forgot...
for some reason.
Careful.
Always.
Hey!
How are you?
Uh.
I can understand only a little.
I don't understand.
I'm sorry.
He say that it's hard to paddle
when there is a current.
Yeah, I wasn't expecting that.
You, American?
Yes. Yes, American.
Yeah.
California.
Uh.
Close, Texas.
You surf in Texas?
Yes, we have surf in Texas.
It's just not like this though.
Hey, this is a secret place,
how you find it?
Someone told me about it
a while ago.
What's it called?
If I tell you,
I would have to kill you.
Well, that would ruin my day.
Anything oddly out here
I should know about?
There are some rocks over there.
There's only 1 tide a day.
And when the tide gets low,
it becomes an island.
There's some nasty fire coral.
It stings like a jellyfish.
Okay, thank you.
Still have no idea
what you are saying.
He says that you should
come over here.
The wave breaks better.
Oh, I'm okay-I'm okay.
I'm cool here, thank you.
Careful, gringa.
Strong current here for
a little girl from Texas.
I think I'll be alright.
Yeah.
Yeah!
Calling Short Crop
- Short Crop?
- Hey.
- Do you wanna?
Oh my god.
No way.
Mom's beach, right?
It's just as beautiful as
she said it was.
Ah, I wish you were here.
- I wish she was here.
- Does that mean you're alone?
Oh, I wasn't gonna come all
this way just to wuss out
because I lost my plus one.
That's how you wind up
on Nancy Grace, okay?
Excuse me.
I am supposed to be the boring,
overprotective sister.
You're supposed to be
the fun one.
Sis, the surf here is insane.
perfect tube I just caught.
I can shoot tubes
just as good as you
if you would just
take me out!
I'll take you out as
soon as I get back.
I love you, sister mama.
- I love you too, Short Crop.
- Is that Nancy?
- It's Dad.
- Just tell him it's all fine, okay?
- Uh. No, it's...
- Love you, bye.
Hey, Nance, don't hang up.
Give me the phone.
Chloe.
- Hey!
- Hey, Papa.
Hey, sweet pea.
Where are you now?
Mexico.
I don't know what to say, Nance.
I'm at a loss.
- I don't-I don't, I can't understand.
- I don't expect you too.
- Well, help me out then.
- I don't know.
What do you-
What do you want me to say?
Say you are coming back.
Say you are not dropping out
of med school after all this time.
After all this work.
- You know, just don't quit.
- Okay, Dad, that's enough.
Can we just not do this
right now, please?
But, that's what you love.
You help people.
Well, not everyone can be helped, Dad.
You know that.
Don't do that.
- Don't make this about her.
- What else would it be about?
If you want to make this about her,
then you stink in it.
She was a fighter.
It's just too far,
too hard, Dad.
You know.
And for what?
It all ended the same.
Just come back, Nancy.
Please.
I got to go, okay?
I'll see you soon.
When?
When?
- I don't know.
- Nance.
I love you, bye.
Anna:
Meeting up with the cute guy from last
night... Don't wait up for me.
Yeah, girl.

You're not going to
