But she's in 2,000 feet ofwater
and we can't reach her.
We need divers to enter the sub
and search for survivors, ifany.
Don'tyou guys haveyour own stuff
for this kind ofthing ?
By the time we get our rescue
submersibles, storm front will be on us.
You can getyour rig in under the storm
and be on site in 1 5 hours,
and that makes you
our best option.
Why should we risk our butts
for something like this ?
I have been authorized to
offer special bonuses...
equivalent to three times
normal dive pay.
Yes, sir, buddy !
Hell, for triple time,
I'd eat Beanie.
They could set me on fire and
put me out with horse piddle.
I don't know what kind ofdeal
you made with the company,
but my people are not qualified.
- We're oil workers.
- This is a paycheck, man !
Shut up !
Hold it down.
This is Lieutenant Coffey.
He'll transfer down toyou with
a SEAL team and supervise the operation.
You can send down whoeveryou like,
but I'm the tool pusher on this rig,
and when it comes to the safety
ofthese people, there's me and
then there's God, understand ?
Ifthingsgetdicey,
I'mpullin'theplug.
I thinkwe're all
on the same wavelength, Brigman.
Now, let's get the wellhead
uncoupled, shall we ?
All right,
let's get ready to move.
Let's take it
about five degrees left, all right ?
Roger.
Five degrees left, Bud.
Plot these numbers to our position.
I need to know when--
Well, it's official, sports fans.
They're calling it Hurricane Frederick.
And it's gonna be making our lives
real interesting in a few hours.
Fred, huh ?
Idon'tknow, man.
I think hurricanes should be
named afterwomen, don'tyou ?
[WindGusting]
- I can't believeyou're
letting them do this.
- Hi, Linds.
I thoughtyou were
in Houston.
I was. Now I'm here.
- Only here isn't where
I left it, is it, Bud ?
- Wasn't up to me.
Jesus ! We were that close
to proving a submersible
- I can't believe
you let them grab my rig !
- Your rig ?
I designed the damn thing.
And Benthic Petroleum paid for it, so as
long as they're holding the pink slip,
[ Whistles ]
I go where they tell me.
I had a lot riding on this,
and they boughtyou, didn't they ?
I'm switchin' offnow.
Bye-bye.
Oh, okay, Virgil, you wiener !
You never could stand up to a fight.
Bye-bye.
Virgil ?
God, I hate that b*tch.
Probably shouldn't have
married her then, huh ?
Try to get it settled !
[Man OverRadio]
