Pressure Page #4

Synopsis: In the Somalia coast, the veteran divers Engel, Mitchell, Hurst and the rookie Jones are assigned to repair an oil pipeline on the bottom of the sea by the Vaxxilon representative Karsen. They are advised that a storm is coming, but the Diving Support Vessel Lorimer lowers the bell with the team. They succeed to weld the pipeline but the storm comes and the vessel sinks, killing the whole crew. Short of the oxygen, the divers try to communicate with the surface and the leader Mitchell keeps the hope that they will be saved. But will the oil company send another vessel to rescue them?

[ENGEL]

Vaxxilon are in lockdown.

They're figuring out some PR

strategy to cover their asses.

They just lost one boat, they're

not gonna risk losing another.

Well, I guarantee you,

a rescue is under way.

And I guarantee you that they're

already filling out their

insurance claims.

Oh, come on!

How the f*** is this helpful?

It's simple economics,

you dumb ass.

You're say-- you're saying

they're not gonna come?

He's wrong!

It's in our contracts!

In an emergency situation,

all saturation divers

are transferred to a high--

The unit went down

with the ship!

Okay, well, then they'll send

another bell down.

If? If they're looking

for us!

Shut up!

No, you shut the f*** up!

Yo! Back off!

You think they would have sent

us down in a storm if they gave

a sh*t about our safety?

They'll write it off as a freak

of nature, as a force major,

as an act of God!

And your doting wife

can go to your funeral...

in the misguided belief

that she lost a hero!

Shut up! Shut up!

That is enough!

Now none of us wants to be

in this situation...

but we do what we are trained to

do, we stay focused...

and I promise you we will

get out of here!

Vaxxilon will come to get us.

We sit, wait,

conserve oxygen, that's it.

Now, sit down!

Please.

We do know that the weld

was at the DC178 manifold.

Yeah, write this down.

DC178 manifold, 19 degrees,

14 minutes south...

71 degrees, 33 minutes east.

You got that?

Okay, get on comms, transmit

that position every 15 minutes.

We're a lost bell

from the DSV Lorimer.

Our coordinates are 19 degrees,

14 minutes south--

We need to float the bell.

Detach the clump weight

and make her buoyant.

We'll be a hell of a lot more

visible on the surface.

No, because right now, pressure

is equalized inside and out.

But the bell rises, the pressure

drops, the chamber could become

compromised...

but we're not gonna know that

until it's too late.

If we lose pressure inside

the bell, we're all dead.

We follow procedure

and wait for Vaxxilon.

Sh*t! We're losing oxygen!

Right! Put your emergency

masks on now!

The CO2 level is nearly red.

My mask, I can't breathe!

My mask is broken!

Put the mask on!

It's broke! I can't

put the mask on!

You need to reboot the power

supply!

Clear the air

with a fresh O2 tank!

Here, put the mask on.

Hurst--

Hurst, you got my mask!

Engel's down!

( COUGHING )

Engel, breathe!

[JONES]

Power supply rebooting.

O2 levels increasing.

It's stabilizing, breathe!

Hurst, you're a little late.

Breathe!

Bell's breathing system

malfunctioned.

We were taking

in our own carbon dioxide.

Two hours... how did we just

lose two hours of breathing gas?
