You ain't seen nothing yet.

Have a look over there.

We've gotta go through that.

Morning!

- Morning. - Morning.

Would you?

- Would you?

Morning, Chris.

Morning.

- Morning.

Is it always like this?

- Never.

Kiwi, take the wheel for a minute.

Doesn't look good.

I like the way ya'll talk. You make

everything sound like a question.

Do we?

Dave?

I need you to listen to this.

I was surprised. I haven't heard

Morse code for years.

It's a distress signal.

- Have you tried search and rescue?

Yeah, we're the closest vessel

for a hundred miles or so.

Can't we pretend

not to hear the radio?

You're joking, right?

What if it was you in trouble?

You'd want someone to come.

- But I'm not in trouble!

If we don't go, someone might die.

They might need medical assistance.

I'm not a nurse anymore,

so leave me out of it.

Look, we've booked a luxury suite

in Fiji,

and if we miss one just night,

I expect you to reimburse us.

Someone may be dying,

but God forbid you miss your spa bath!

It's our boat, our decision,

and we're gonna help.

No, that is...

Roly, what've you done?

You'll be alright, don't worry.

It's alright.

Can't see sh*t through this fog.

Dave! Hard up!

Tell me

next time you're gonna do that!

What is it? What's the matter?

- It's a boat.

Where?

- There.

Oh yeah.

We're not getting any closer, though.

She might be stuck on a reef.

I can't risk it.

You spend a lot of time

on a rowing-machine, eh, bro?

You sure this is the boat

that sent the SOS? - I don't know.

What's that smell?

- I don't know.

Hey, shine the torch over here.

What's in there?

- I don't know. Have a look.

God. damn it!

You got yours coming!

- Yeah, right.

A dead bird.

What does that mean?

It's a bad omen.

F***...

Is that still a bad omen?

I don't know.

Let's check the rest of the boat

and get out of here. - I hear you.

I don't like this boat.

Me neither.

- I smell like bird.

There's nothing here.

So where'd the Morse code come from?

God damn!

Help me.

Help me!

It's okay, mister. It's okay.

- Help me.

Please...

- You're gonna be alright.

We'll get you some water.

- Yes...

It's okay.

-Yes. - It's gonna be okay.

Come here, old man.

Give us that blanket. Take this coat.

You're a good man.

- There you go.

Take that, babe.

- Thank you.

There you go. You in?

- Ah, yes.

Thank you, yes. - You're welcome.

- Yes, yes...

That's better.

How many are you?

- Six.

Six.

- We're seven now.

Yes... six of us...

and then the storm came up

out of nowhere.

Down below is water everywhere.

We go up on the deck...

The waves beating and bashing,

and smashing us into things.

And one by one...

One by one they go.
