Stay very still.

I was a brave kid mom,...

but I was scared.

I'm scared, too.

Where is everybody?

I don't know, dear!

I don't know.

Mom.

What?

You're bleeding, Mom.

Oh, my God!

Oh!

It's okay.

I'm...

You go first.

You think we can climb it?

Okay, let's go.

- Mom, there's nothing we can do.

- Wait!

We are almost there.

We have to get the safety.

No, we have to help that poor-

Mom, if another wave catches us

down here, we will die.

We have to climb

that tree right now.

Come on.

- Where are you?

- Mom, look at you, we need help!

We cannot risk it.

We can't risk it mom. Come on.

Listen.

What if that boy was Simon or Thomas?

What if they needed help?

- You want someone to help them, wouldn't you?

- Simon and Thomas are dead!

Even it's the last thing we do.

Where are you?

Dad!

Look there, Mama, I see.

Are you okay?

Okay, okay.

What's your name?

I'm Lucas, what's your name?

To be up here, we gonna get you out, okay?

It's all right. It's all right.

Are you okay?

OK!

Are you okay?

Its okay, honey!

Come on!

Just stay here, I'll be back.

Just stay there, please.

Mom. Mom.

Thank you.

Thank!

Did you hear that?

Mama, look. They are coming for us.

Hey, over here!

Hey!

Climb down, Lucas.

Oh, look!

Oh, no!

No, no, no!

Wait!

Thanks!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Oh!

My boy!

I cannot see them, my boys.

My boys.

Lucas!

Lucas!

Do not let them take me

anywhere without you.

Don't worry Mom.

I will not leave you alone. I promise.

All right!

Where is Daniel? What about Daniel?

Daniel?

Lucas, where is Daniel?

I don't know.

Thanks!

Thank you!

- It's very cold in here.

- It's not cold, Mom.

Mom.

Mom, what's wrong?

I need some antibiotics.

Look in the cupboard.

I can't read the labels.

They're all in Thai.

It got to be labeled.

Oh, look at the side.

- OK!

- Let me look, Lucas.

Oh, thank God!

Oh, thanks!

See that, boy?

I'm all he's got in the world.

Do you understand?

I'm a doctor, too.

I'm bleeding. You've got to stop it.

Please, I need some antibiotics.

Please help.

- Are you okay?

- I lost my husband and two children.

If something happens to me...

What color is it?

- What?

- My leg.

- Still red?

- Yes, it's still red.

- What does that mean?

- It's good.

As long as it doesn't turn black.

You need to eat something.

Eat it.
