Pressure Page #3

Synopsis: In the Somalia coast, the veteran divers Engel, Mitchell, Hurst and the rookie Jones are assigned to repair an oil pipeline on the bottom of the sea by the Vaxxilon representative Karsen. They are advised that a storm is coming, but the Diving Support Vessel Lorimer lowers the bell with the team. They succeed to weld the pipeline but the storm comes and the vessel sinks, killing the whole crew. Short of the oxygen, the divers try to communicate with the surface and the leader Mitchell keeps the hope that they will be saved. But will the oil company send another vessel to rescue them?

have to wait it out.

They put us on the floor for a

reason. They'll take us back up

to the surface when they can.

We just need to stay calm.

Bell to Karsen, it's Mitch,

do you read me? Over.

[JONES]

Why aren't they answering?

They're riding out the worst

of it, then they're gonna haul

us back up, right?

Hurst, we need an inventory

of the bell, first aid box,

survival suits, blankets...

Got it!

Flares.

Blankets, first aid...

no survival suits.

What?

There's no f***ing

survival suits.

We should be okay. Back-up

heating supply is working.

Where's Engel?

With any luck, he's trapped

inside a whale.

MITCH (OVER RADIO)

Engel, give me an update.

How does she look?

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Hold on a minute.

I want to check

the umbilical to the ship.

You know your old man

was always teetotal

whenever we dived in Asia?

That's bollocks.

No, serious, he never

touched a drop.

He had this deep-rooted

fear of the place.

He was terrified he'd get pissed

and wake up...

with some lady boy with a big

stiffie, loving him long time.

You met your wife out there,

didn't you? Popping out

ping pongs?

Yeah, I caught a few.

Engel, what's the external

damage?

[MITCH]

What's the external damage?

Engel!

The ship is down.

What? What are you

talking about?

Don't listen to him, the guy's

a walking, f***ing Jonah.

What the hell is that?

That belongs to the

winch mechanism.

Whoa, whoa, sure, the winch

mechanism may have sustained

some damage.

You're not listening to me.

Now the ship has other means

of rescue. They're going through

those options as we speak.

Now Jones, get on the radio.

Huh?

Get on the radio!

And the first thing that we need

to do is re-establish radio--

[JONES] Bell to surface.

Bell to surface.

The ship is down.

Radio contact--

The f***ing ship is down!

[JONES]

Bell to surface.

I just saw Karsen's dead body

on the ocean floor.

There's no one there,

Mitchell.

We're on our own.

We should have left

when Karsen gave the order.

We're only alive because we

never made it to the surface.

We got what, around 18 hours

breathing supply?

How long until someone finds us?

I don't know. How could

I possibly know that?

We're around, what,

five hours from Mombasa.

Now the ship would have sent out

a Mayday, so the rescue teams

are probably under way.

But once they're in range...

they'll pick up the bell's

location beacon. I don't know!

We're in the middle of the

Indian Ocean off the coast

of Africa.

There are more pirates in these

waters than there are fish.

Do you really think that

Vaxxilon are gonna risk sending

another crew to rescue us?

Yeah, why wouldn't they?
