Sanctum Page #2

Synopsis: The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team-including 17-year-old son Josh and financier Carl Hurley are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

hauling equipment down here for weeks

while you piss off back

to America and pick up your girlfriend.

You know,

that's bullshit on so many levels,

I'm not even going to address it.

I've given you every piece

of equipment you've asked for.

Spared no expense.

I guess the cave

doesn't understand that, Carl.

Frank!

You know what? Check this out.

Porfidio.

Now, I'm going to haul this sucker down

just to give you a shot,

because your ass is so tight

when you fart only dogs can hear it.

Right.

Can you put Josh on?

Josh. You're up, buddy.

Nice work.

Biting the hand that feeds us.

If that soft-cock wants

his name on this cave,

he should be down here

getting his hands dirty.

What?

You're on my shitlist.

We needed those

bail-out tanks down here, Josh.

All right?

We rely on you to do your job.

No, a job is something you choose to do,

something you get paid to do.

Stop treating me

like I'm five years old!

Then stop acting like

you're five years old!

Do you think this is some downhill ride

that you can just party...

Frank, he was due for a break.

Everybody is due for a break.

I'm not going to give him

special treatment.

You need to go easy on him.

That's exactly what I don't need to do.

This cave will kill you in a heartbeat.

He's a good kid, Frank.

Cut him some slack.

All right, listen.

I want you to stay here.

-I'm going to do this push on my own.

-No.

No one dives alone. Let's go, J.D.

Jude, I'm serious.

Frank, I didn't come all this way

to sit here on the sideline and watch.

No. Come on.

Come on, are we going to do this,

or we just going to talk about it?

I can't even see the bottom.

Trust me, you're going to love this.

What next?

Would you just relax?

I'm signing for you right now.

Carl, are we doing this thing or what?

You're going to get it in five minutes.

Just two seconds, thanks.

I swear they would still manage

to find him on the moon.

I don't understand what the problem is.

I won't be back till the 13th.

Look, deal with them, will you?

Tell them I'm off the grid

until further notice.

Below!

Dealt with.

Now, Josh, promise me

you won't let me fall.

I promise.

Just feed it through the rack.

Slow and steady like I showed you, okay?

Okay. Okay, sure.

Here we go. Here we go.

I met her on my Everest expedition.

Great. So she's even

crazier than you are.

Yeah. I'm going to marry her one day.

Life's not a dress rehearsal, Josh.

You got to seize the day.

I'll reach the bottom before you.

Oh, you are so about to get spanked.

Unbelievable!

Yeah, it's pretty cool, huh?

Yeah. Amazing.

Carl, Rawlinson again.

Tell him he can kiss my ass.

Wanker.

Son of a b*tch.

Carl likes to play by his own rules.
