Hurst, is there any damage

to the valve?

Hold on.

No, it doesn't look like it.

Okay, can you make it secure?

Yeah, I'm on it.

It's one heavy bastard.

Sh*t!

Mitch! Mitch!

Mitchell's down.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

What happened?

I-- I think he got hit.

No, Mitch is not moving.

He's not moving.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

What do you mean, he's not

moving? Can you read me?

I think he's unconscious!

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Mitch, respond.

Open his breathe flow.

I'm trying to open it.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Right. Turn him face down

and drag him back to the bell.

I can't move him.

There's not enough slack.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Hurst, what are you doing?

His umbilical's snagged.

F***! F***! It's stuck.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Detach him.

The f***ing thing is stuck.

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Detach him.

F***! F***!

ENGEL (OVER RADIO)

Hurst.

What do I do?

I can't move him.

Listen to me. If you don't

detach him, he's gonna die!

I can't move him.

I can't move him.

( DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING )

Come on!

Here you go. You're okay.

You're okay.

Get that weight off him.

Get it off.

How are you still diving?

The mechanism was f***ed.

Your hands are useless. You have

no place being on the sat team.

What did you do,

forge your medical records?

How do you think I got

these hands?

Picking f***ing daisies?

18 years. 18 f***ing years

in the water.

18 years soaked in booze.

I nearly f***ing died.

I f***ed up. I'm sorry, man.

You just took your last dive.

Let's get this off.

CARMEN (OVER PHONE)

You've got the Mitchell

residence.

Unfortunately we're a bit busy

to take your call right now...

but leave your message

after the beep and we'll

call you back.

Have a beautiful day.

Mitch.

Yeah?

We've lost over half

of our air.

We've got to do something.

There's nothing that we

can do except wait.

Come on, even if they're

in the water, how are they

gonna know we're here?

We don't even know where we are.

[MITCH]

The bell's location beacon

transmits automatically.

And its range is what?

I don't know. 750 feet?

[ENGEL] So unless the boat is

directly above us, they won't

know we're here.

You've got to seal the bell

and take her to the surface.

You already know my answer.

What the f*** are you waiting

for? St Christopher?

Great.

Vaxxilon are coming, Engel,

and I'm not taking that risk.

[ENGEL] Of course, it's a risk.

So is doing nothing.

( HATCH OPENING )

I was joking about

your old man, you know.

What was he like?

He was a good diver.

And he was a funny f***er, too.

I barely saw him smile.

Yeah, well, families

ain't easy, are they?

When you're down here,

you wish you were back home.

And when you're with them,
