Black Water Page #2

Give yourself a bit of slack.

I'm here, darling.

Big throw.

F***.

- It's okay. Don't move. I'll get it.

Get us a branch. Just above you.

Here, got it?

F***.

I'm not going into the water again.

Wrap it around your hand.

Okay, one, two, three!

Must be stuck on a log.

It's alright.

I've tied off the rope, okay?

Get into the water slowly and use

the rope to guide yourself over, okay?

You can do it, okay?

Come on.

Better get up.

That's it!

Keep coming.

I've got you. That's it!

Right, come on.

- You've got her?

Yeah, I've got her. Okay there.

You're okay, baby, you're okay.

Grab the rope.

You got it?

- Oh, f***. That was amazing.

Bloody amazing.

Sh*t...

- Your ankle, is it okay?

It's pretty sore.

- Oh my God,

it doesn't look good.

Where's Jim?

He got taken.

- What?

How did this happen?

We were in a metal boat!

Is it still here?

Can't see it.

So how are we gonna get out of here?

What are we gonna do?

Wait for someone to come for us.

- Who's going to come for us?

I don't know, but isn't that

what they say you should do?

But no one knows we're here.

There's hundreds of miles of estuary

and mangroves along the river...

No one's coming.

- I still think we should just wait.

When did we last see another boat?

We did see the petrol drum. That

could've been in the water for months.

So what's your idea?

The boat.

The boat?

Did you miss something, Adam?

It just flipped over. You think we're

safe in that? It's our best shot.

Okay. So how do you figure

we get to it, flip it,

bail it and get out of here without

being eaten? - Better than waiting

to be rescued by people

who don't know we're missing. - Help!

We'll die of malaria waiting out here.

I've still got the Rid.

You beauty!

- Come on!

It's dead.

- F***.

What have I got?

Car keys.

Penknife.

My wallet.

One more stamp

and I get a free coffee.

What was that?

I want to get out of here.

Maybe we can use these trees

to get out of here.

Look, guys,

even if we could get to land,

we're miles from anywhere.

The idea of getting lost here...

- "Getting lost"? We're already lost!

We go along this river

and get back to here we came from.

Really? Do you know where we are?

- We're on the river.

Do you remember every turn we took?

- I don't need to. - Whatever!

I think Grace is right.

I think we should try the trees.

Do you think it's gonna be easy

getting around in these trees?

Look at it!

I'll go check out the trees.

- It's alright, I'll go.

You've lost your glasses. You can't

put any weight on that leg. I'll go.

It's okay, I'm fine. - Adam, you're

half blind without your glasses.

I'm not blind. I can see, alright?
