We lost an external cylinder.

I know we lost an external

cylinder!

I sent you out there to check

for damage!

No, the umbilical was on the

ocean floor, that took priority!

That just cost us!

And you'd still be waiting

for a f***ing ghost ship

to haul us back up!

We need to float the bell.

How many times are you gonna

make me go through this?

All we have to trust

in is your belief system.

If we locate the ship,

we'll have enough breathing

gas for a month.

The ship could be scattered

for miles. Just get back

on the comms!

Then we follow the main

umbilical. It has to lead

us to the ship!

If it's still attached.

We don't know we're gonna

find what we need!

[HURST]

I say we try.

We're not gonna have enough gas.

[JONES] Bell to surface.

Look, we gotta do something.

If the bell freezes, we die.

[JONES] Mayday, Mayday.

We run out of air, we die.

We don't do something soon,

we f***ing die!

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

This is Jiuxing. Come in.

I've got something!

Bell to surface!

Give it to me!

Give it here!

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

Lorimer bell, Lorimer bell,

do you copy? Over.

Loud and clear. Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

Position, please? Position!

This is Jiuxing.

Why emergency? Over.

Our support vessel, the DSV

Lorimer, has gone down, repeat,

gone down.

We are a four-man

saturation diving team...

in a bell 670 feet

below sea level.

We are in urgent need

of assistance. Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

We can't hear you clear.

Signal weak.

Are there any Chinese citizens?

Negative. There are

no Chinese citizens on board.

But we are in need

of immediate assistance.

Repeat, immediate assistance.

Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

We-- fishing boat.

Storm has damaged...

Please respond. Over.

RADIO OP (OVER RADIO)

Losing signal. Can't help.

Jiuxing, our last coordinates

are 19 degrees, 14 minutes

south...

71 degrees, 33 minutes east.

Over.

Please respond.

Jiuxing, do you copy? Over.

Jiuxing, please respond.

We are losing signal.

Bastards.

Do you know how much

I've spent on Chinese food?

Hurst, check and recheck

the cylinders on the port side.

We can't afford to lose

any more air.

Yeah, I'm on it.

EMMY LOU (V.O.)

You're lucky

I love your surprises.

Tell me.

Come on. I wanna know.

Walk out

to hear the first song

Look back from where I came

My tears

are tiny storm clouds

And dancing in the rain

[JONES]

You don't think anybody's

coming, do you?

If you don't have hope,

what do you have?

I have reason.

Onboard cylinder one secure.

Valve open and functioning.

OB cylinder 4 secure

on the starboard side.

Valve and reading's normal.

There's something

on the top of the bell.

Looks like a crane block.
