Sanctum Page #4

Synopsis: The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Master diver Frank McGuire has explored the South Pacific's Esa-ala Caves for months. But when his exit is cut off in a flash flood, Frank's team-including 17-year-old son Josh and financier Carl Hurley are forced to radically alter plans. With dwindling supplies, the crew must navigate an underwater labyrinth to make it out. Soon, they are confronted with the unavoidable question: Can they survive, or will they be trapped forever?

It's so lame.

Josh.

You just don't get it, do you?

Your old man,

he's the most respected

explorer of our time.

He's like a Columbus, or Neil Armstrong.

And these rocks, these caves,

man, this is it.

There is nowhere else left

on the planet to explore.

I mean, where else can you shine a light

where no human has been before, huh?

You want to shine a light

where no human has ever been before?

Here you go.

I haven't done this for a while.

Finally some excitement.

He's going in without bail-out.

He's keen.

Jesus, Frank. Just leave it.

That hole is tighter than a nun's nasty.

You sure you're up for this, Frank?

You don't have to come, Judes.

Yeah, right.

Plan the dive and dive the plan, Judes.

Go f*** yourself, George.

That hole looks pretty tight, Judes.

Hope that diet is working for you.

I'm going in after them.

Jesus, Frank.

This is starting to get sporting.

No sh*t.

The re-breather is stuck.

My hose is caught.

I'm wedged.

Frank! Frank, I'm wedged.

It's stuck.

Judes, stay cool.

Deep and slow, Judes.

Panic's the vulture,

sits on your shoulder.

There is always slack somewhere.

It's cool. I've got it.

Roger.

Good girl.

My God! Would you look at that?

He did it. He finally f***ing did it.

Frank, you are one stubborn son

of a b*tch. Look at that.

Since the beginning of time,

no human being has ever seen this.

Look at it.

It's like a cathedral.

St. Judes' Cathedral.

Damn right.

There is an air bell up there.

About 100 feet up.

A big air bell.

George, you've got to see this.

There's got to be a whole

new cave system up there.

I can feel it.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Do you want to go up and have a look?

You want to spend

two hours decompressing?

Let's leave something for Carl.

Okay.

All right, George, we're winding it up.

Roger that.

You've done really good.

We'll have a nice hot cup of tea

ready for you when you get back.

Hey, you've got a bit of a leak.

Let me take a look.

What do you mean? Where?

Christ.

Sh*t. Judes, hold still.

Going for the bail-out, Frank.

Hold still! I've got you. I've got you.

Frank, my bail-out.

Stay with me. Let me take a look.

Get me to the air bell, Frank.

Get me to the air bell.

Judes, it's too far.

We'll never make it. You'll get bent.

Come on, Frank. Come on, Frank,

get me to the air bell.

-Judes, it's too far.

-Jesus, f***!

She's got no bail-out!

I'm flooding.

Stay calm. We're going to buddy-breathe.

We're going to buddy breathe, all right?

Mask, off.

Frank, don't do it!

We're going to lose you both.

Frank. No, no!

No. No, Frank. No, no. No, Frank.

No, Frank! No!

Oh, man.

F***.

See? He just f***ing yanks

the mask away from her.
