Two girls squawking at you,

and nowhere to run. You are in hell, boy.

Any of you skirts ever changed

a goddamn tire?

Enlighten us, cowboy.

Feisty.

Never really works to pull when all you

really needed was some good pushing.

- Know what I mean?

- Hurry up and lift the thing!

All right, grab hold.

Three, two, one. Push!

Come on!

All right. Hold on, hold on, hold on.

We got ourselves a situation.

- We can do this.

- Come on!

Three, two, one, push!

Happy New Year.

Happy goddamn New Year.

What?

Daddy?

It's all right, baby. It's all right.

All right, all right.

There you go.

Give me your water and your hankie,

sweetie.

I think it's just a cut, but I wanna

clean it anyway, okay?

I'm gonna look for a way out of here.

- Chris.

- Yeah?

Thank you very much.

Sir, I didn't... I mean, she saved me.

Are you okay?

Just a bad headache.

Here, finish this.

One thing we have a lot of around here

is water.

My name is Nelson.

Elena. How bad is it?

It's very bad.

Were you with someone?

Yeah.

Not really.

My brother's in the hospital.

I didn't have any money

to get to New York...

...so I meet this guy at a club,

he works on a ship.

He says I can bunk with him,

you know, for passage.

He was pretty nice.

What are you doing?

Thinking.

- You?

- Thinking.

What are we thinking about, exactly?

Well, I figure this door is the way up.

I'm thinking, "What's behind it?"

Hey. Easy there, fireball.

Watch.

Conor! Hey, Conor, what are you doing?

Hey, Mom, this door is the way up.

Don't walk off from me like that, okay?

- Hey, it's the other guy.

- Hey.

Yeah, Robert, that door is extremely

hot, but it's our only choice.

- Here. What do you think?

- Let's give it a shot.

I'm hoping it was a flash fire, but this

whole area could be superheated still, right?

- You tour on a sub?

- I wouldn't call it touring.

Go.

- Flash fire.

- Good call.

It's all right.

- So how long were you in the Navy?

- Too long.

I feel like I know your dad.

He was mayor of New York for a while.

When I was a kid.

Cool.

It wasn't.

Another way up, anybody?

I've been sneaking around

this ship for days. This is it.

- All right, then we climb.

- Is it gonna hold?

It's possible. It is steel.

Look at the monkey boy.

Chris, what are you doing? Come back.

I think it'll hold.

Go easy.

Elena.

You're halfway there, come on.

Chris, wait. Come back and get Conor.

Conor, put your foot right where my foot is

and go to Robert.

There you go. Put your hand right there.

Okay, hang on. I'll grab him.

Great.
