3 HOURS

TO HIGH TIDE:

25 MINUTES

TO HIGH TIDE:

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

You're okay.

I'm not bailing you, little buddy.

Let me see you.

I'm not very good

at wrought though.

But it just looks

like a dislocation.

Like a separated shoulder.

I think it's the same.

We'll see, uh.

I'm just going to

do this quick, okay?

It's gonna hurt

just for a second,

and then you're gonna be okay.

On three.

Ready?

One.

Two.

Three.

I think we did it.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

That's a terrible way

to say thank you.

Now you got a chance, huh?

Huh.

And here comes the tide.

Camera.

That's the third time.

I got you.

32 seconds from

the whale to the rock.

Woo hoo!

Woo hoooo!

Whoa!

Help!

Help!

- Come on, I got you!

- Help!

I got you! I got you!

I got you!

Come on.

Hold on.

Huh.

Someone got you.

30 or 40 yards.

1 minute swim.

I can make that.

I need a head start.

10 MINUTES

TO HIGH TIDE:

This is Nancy Adams.

It's April 26th, 2016.

If you find this,

please send help right away.

I've been attacked by a shark.

He's killed 3 other people

since I got here.

He's still circling so, um...

He's got this,

big old whale over here.

But, that's the problem.

I swam right up on

his feeding ground.

I've been bitten

pretty deeply into my...

my gastroc and quad muscles.

I have a deep gash running

vertically down my medial thigh.

and it turns lateral

just above my knee.

And right here, there's one rend

across my-my posterior calf.

I'm losing a lot of blood.

Gangrene is setting in.

I feel like I'm losing

my strength.

I don't think

I have much time.

The island I'm on is going to be

taken by the tide in a few minutes.

I'm about 200 yards off the shore,

of this beach.

I never found out

what it was called.

So...

Um.

This is useless.

There's a buoy, which

I'm going to try to swim to.

About 30 or 40 yards away.

See here.

That's...

That's the plan.

Um...

If you find this,

can you just um...

Can you just delete

that first part and...

And send it to...

10231 Oliver Crescent Drive,

Galveston, Texas.

That's my home.

That's-That's where my...

That's where my dad

and sister live.

Hey, Pop.

Hey, Chloe.

Um.

I finally got that alone time.

Super overrated.

Um.

You know, I'm not-

I'm not totally alone.

I've got this little dude, Steven Seagull,

here keeping me company.

Show them your wing.

I fixed him for you, Chloe.

I just don't want you guys to worry

and I don't want you to feel...

You know bad or anything,

'cause...

I love you so much.

And I miss you

more than I ever...

I ever realized I could.

Dad, I got to get off

this rock soon.

Um.

But I want you to know

I'm going to fight.

I am.

Just like she taught us.

And you were right.

I love you.

I love you so much.

Time to go.

It's okay. It's okay.

You got it.

Good job.

You're gonna make it, buddy.

You're okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Sh*t.

Oh, you're kidding me.

Huh!

You didn't like that,

because it stings like jellyfish.

This is my head start.

Come on.

Come on.

Okay.

No, no, no.

Come back.

Come back.

Come back.

Come back.

Come on.

Come back.

This is Nancy Adams.

It's April 26th, 2016.

If you find this,

please send help right away.

I've been attacked by a shark.

He's killed 3 other people

since I got here.

I'm losing a lot of blood.

I feel that I'm

losing my strength.

I love you more, Short Crop.

I'll be home soon.

Magical beach.

No way.

Mom's beach, right?

Not everyone can be helped.

I don't want you to feel...

You know bad or anything.

I got to go, okay?

I'll see you soon.

Hey, sweet pea.

She was a fighter.

I'm going to fight.

Just like she taught us.

Uh-uh.

No!

Where are you?

F*** you.

Oh sh*t!

No!

No!

Ow!

- Miguel!

- Here. Here's the place.

Here.

Papa! Papa!

Look at the water!

What?

Where, son?

There. There.

Look. There.

Go quickly.

Run!

Call for help!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Relax.

Relax.

Breathe.

Breathe.

I'm okay.
