Then they'll be there in 3 hours.
By the time we get there the freighter
will have most of them on board.
And if not?
Then we'll circle around the boat.
We can't go to them directly.
We'll send them a dinghy on a tow line and
try to get them on board a few at a time.
If they panic we'll pull back
until the situation calms down.
I'll listen to see
if there's something new.
Ocean 2 for Antares.
Do you hear me?

Well?
How many can we fit on board?
Maybe 20. At most 30.
And the life raft?

Max? Turn on the engine again.
We're not going there!
We've got to.
Not alone.
100 people are panicked about drowning.
You said we could send
a dinghy on a tow line.
5 people fit on it! Do you
know what's going on there?
They'll kill each other
to get on board.
We could throw them everything we have,
the life vests, the life boat, the buoys...
Emily, no one is coming. It's the middle
of night. We're not trained for this!
You're going to let them drown.
I'm making sure that
we don't drown.
100 people on the open
oceanthat's suicide!
You said that 30 people would be
no problem at all for the ship.
And you think they're
going to let us...
...sail away when their families
are going to drown?
I'm doing that to protect you.
Boat in distress. Can you read me?
We will arrive in about 2 hours...
