Poseidon Page #2

Synopsis: It is New Year's Eve, and over 2,000 passengers & crew are ringing in the New Year aboard the huge cruise ship 'Poseidon' when it capsizes on the open sea in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean! A small group of survivors find themselves unlikely allies in a battle for their lives. Preferring to test the odds alone, career gambler Dylan Johns ignores captain's orders to wait below for possible rescue and sets out to find his own way to safety. What begins as a solo mission soon draws others, as Dylan is followed by a desperate father searching for his daughter and her fiancée--a young couple who hours before couldn't summon the courage to tell him they were engaged and now face much graver challenges. Along the way they are joined by a single mother and her wise-beyond-his-years son, an anxious stowaway and a despondent fellow passenger who boarded the ship not sure he wanted to live but now knows he doesn't want to die.

so I don't have to sing it for you.

I think I'll get some air.

And then we'll have some wine.

Lots and lots of wine.

Quiet. Quiet.

Gentlemen, keep it down.

Do you feel that?

Something's off.

Here we go!

Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!

Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!

You have no messages.

No.

No.

Hard to starboard!

Starboard engines, full astern!

- Starboard engines, full astern!

- I got it, I got it! Come on.

Turn. Turn!

(CHIEF OFFICER REYNOLDS) Turn!

Come on. Come on, come on!

Bow thrusters, full to starboard!

(FIRST OFFICER CHAPMAN) Sounding general alarm.

- (GLORIA) Oh, auld lang syde...

- [ Alarms Blaring ]

(MAN ON SPEAKERS) All crew, report immediately

to your emergency stations.

This is not a drill. All passengers,

brace for immediate and heavy rolls.

[ Passengers Start Screaming ]

Stay there. I'm coming, baby!

Just stay there! Wait for me!

(MAN) Fire, life and safety crews, proceed to

your muster stations immediately.

This is not a drill.

- [ Clamoring ]

- (MAGGIE) Hang on, Conor!

[ Conor Shrieks ] Mom!

Help me!

Stay calm!

Conor?

Oh, my God.

Conor!

Chris.

Christian.

Christian!

Are you okay?

Hey.

My leg's pinned.

Come on.

Help. Somebody. Please, please.

Please, help me.

I can't lift this by myself.

- Please help me. Please.

- Okay.

On three.

One, two, three.

Again. One, two, three.

Conor!

Everyone, remain calm. Remain calm.

Hey, lady. Up there.

Hey! We need some help over here.

Scootch back from the edge! Be careful!

- Grab the side of that.

- Okay.

- Conor!

- Come here. Grab the other side of that.

You're okay!

- His name Conor?

- Yeah.

All right, Conor, I want you to jump

into this curtain.

What are you doing?

I used to be a fireman. We're gonna

get him down safe and sound.

You'll be all right, Conor. Come on, kid.

Jump! Right now!

Sweetie.

Everything's okay.

Move this thing.

We need something to leverage this.

No.

I'll go.

It's just dead people, right?

- Baby, stay here.

- I'm here.

- Stay with me.

- We're gonna be okay.

Now, we're not sure exactly what

happened here, but our best guess...

...is that we were struck by what is

known as a rogue wave.

They're rare. They're unpredictable.

And they are lethal.

Now the good news.

The instant this ship was struck...

...emergency GPS locator beacons

were launched...

...so we are, at most,

several hours from rescue.

- Are we sinking?

- How do we get out?

Please. Do yourself a favor.

Follow the directions of my officers

and stay calm.
