Dark Tide Page #5

- Hello.

- I am honored.

What you do is quite extraordinary.

If only my acquisitions managers

had your nerve,

then I'd be a rich man,

and I could afford to get married again.

- My son Luke.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

- And you.

- You have beautiful eyebrows, you know.

Stunning.

Oh, God.

- Really. Stunning.

- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Sorry. I notice things like that.

It's a compliment.

Yeah. I like them, too.

Ooh. Can we turn this off?

Uh-huh.

You don't like compliments.

Hey, let's sit down.

Luke, scoot. Come on.

- Okay.

- Please.

Thank you.

- Something to drink?

- Yeah. Hot tea.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, sir?

Anyone else?

One hot tea, please.

Thank you.

What can I do for you?

Okay. Let's cut to the chase.

A woman after my own heart.

We...

want to dive with great white sharks.

Good. I know a great place.

There's lots

of great cage operators...

here in Cape Town, so...

We want to swim

with great white sharks...

outside the cage.

No, no, no. He wants to dive

out of the cage.

Yeah, that's right.

Outside of the cage.

How many people in the world

have done that?

You can count them on the fingers

of one hand, am I right?

That's an opportunity of a lifetime.

See, my son here... he lives down here

in Cape Town with his mum.

She keeps him all wrapped up

in bubble wrap.

He's in the shark capital of the world,

and he's never even seen one.

Listen. Hey.

Luke, Luke,

I want this weekend

to be memorable.

Right.

Well, you don't just...

jump in the water with a great white.

You just...

Okay.

You're gonna show us how to dive.

Okay. I've spent ten years

studying sharks.

It's taken me that long to be able

to get outside of a cage and swim.

Well, I've got to be back in London...

for business on Monday morning,

so you're gonna have to give us

the crash course.

Don't worry.

We're fast learners.

Did you tell them

they could get out of the cage?

No, no, no. Wait a second.

Jean Paul just here arranged for us...

- to meet.

- Jean Francois, sir.

My name is Jean Francois.

Call me Jeff, if you want.

Forgive me.

Jeff arranged for us to meet.

But you're the real deal here, Kate.

You're the reason I'm here.

Anybody can point a camera,

with respect,

and take a picture, right, Luke?

You, on the other hand,

are the real deal.

Nobody else in the world

does what you do.

You're the essential element here, Kate.

I have done my research,

and I'm willing to offer you

if you will dive with me...

so that I can get

out of the cage...

and swim with great white sharks.

Don't worry.

I know what I'm doing in the water...

Dad, please.

Not the spiel.

Thank you.

I'm Trionic certified.

I have performed surgery on myself...
