The Poseidon Adventure (2005) Movie Script

- Hashid, stop!
Ho, hey!
Welcome brother, it's
good to see you again.
- The same to you, brother.
- That's Fadi.
He's a Chechen-born doctor, the mastermind
of all their terrorist cells worldwide.
- Ali Babi.
Brother.
- Time is short, and there
is still much to be done.
I will fill all of you in on
the remaining sea component
while we are waiting for brother Badawi.
- My assault team is in
place and standing by.
We need to make sure that we
grab Fadi for interrogation.
- Being the height of their
holidays, all security
will focus on large events
and high valued assets in America.
Our coordinated attacks against land, sea,
and air targets outside
of America will easily
achieve our objectives.
All the remaining cells will be activated
and will move forward according
to their predetermined timetables.
My group was put into motion months ago
and simply awaits our signal to go
at that appointed time
for Operation Trident.
Sniper one.
Go ahead.
- Take the rooftop lookout first.
Then the smoking man.
Then the sentry.
Roger.
Sniper one,
take out your targets.
I got him.
Send him.
This is team one. All
three targets are reduced.
Assault team
one, proceed to phase two.
Move, move, go, go, go, go.
Get back.
Go, cover me.
Get down, get down!
Move, move, move, move, move.
Get back!
Go, go, go, go.
- This way, quickly.
We must destroy all of this.
Surround!
Follow me!
Fire!
Allahu akbar!
Clear out and
secure those vehicles!
Drop the weapon, now.
- Let me die.
There, now, now, now!
Take it, take it!
- All clear, repeat, all clear.
Hostiles neutralized.
We have no surviving targets.
I repeat, no surviving targets.
Something's not right.
Sir?
Let's go.
Move!
Alpha one, police the perimeter.
- Land, air.
We got six here, sir.
- Sea.
Where's sea?
Get the forensics team down here ASAP.
Washington needs to see
all this on the double.

Please have your ticket

Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, please...
- Do you mind removing your hat, father?
- Oh, sure.
- For the safety of all our passengers,
please follow all signs.
- Mate, get them to cut
out a few territories.
'Course they can.
- Wow, this place is huge.
- Where's the other room?
- Your father didn't book us in time.
- I booked it when you finally decided
you could actually go.
- Okay.
- I get the side by the window.
- Oh, look at that.
Our travel agent gave us this basket.
That is so nice.
I have to send him an email.
Welcome
to room TV, your one stop
information center here...
- Hey, sport, we're on vacation, okay?
Come on.
- I bomb the good stuff,
you guys can have the fruit.
- Uh, you share, young
man, or we bomb you.
- Mom, the bed situation?
- Girl's bed, boy's bed.
- I don't think that's what the, uh,
counselor had in mind.
- Not now, Richard, please?
Hey, would you shut that off?
- Why are you guys whispering?
- 'Cause they don't want you to hear.
- Can I go now?
- Yeah, just take your
life jacket with you.
And make sure you're back
in time for the drill.
See you.
- This whole togetherness thing's
just really working, Rachel.
- Yeah, have a nice fight.
- Shelby.
- Good.
Let's try it.
- I told you.
Completely directional.
Thank you, Mr. Rogo.
Thank you.
Attention, Dulcet passengers,
welcome aboard.
- Excuse me.
All passengers are required
to attend a safety drill at 9:30.
Life jackets, and muster
station information can be found
in your cabin welcoming packet.
Poseidon sea pass showing all
of your critical passenger information
and expedite your entry and
reentry to the Poseidon vessel.
Further information can
be found on channel one
of your in bed entertainment center.
Or feel free to ask
the hotel or ship staff
for more information.
Bon Voyage, and Merry Christmas.
Attention Poseidon passengers.
The shipboard safety
drill is now beginning.
Please report to your
assigned muster station.
- How's it?
- Kruger?
- Wait here.
- And the elevator's
just here on the left.
Welcome aboard, ladies and gentlemen.
Uh, muster station's two decks up.
Welcome aboard, hello.
- Hello, you look lost.
- That's funny you should mention that.
I usually know where I'm going.
My husband Manny,
17 cruises before he died.
Always got lost.
You stick with me, and
you can't go far wrong.
- Thank you.
Attention, Poseidon passengers.
Fifteen minutes til shipwide safety drill.
All passengers, please stow your items
and make your way to your way...
- This is your close up.
- Can we go now?
- This is the whole running
for your life sequence
of the film.
- Yeah, well, don't bother
asking me to the premiere.
- I won't.
- There's a better view from up top.
Good afternoon.
- Hi.
- We have little time.
- Show him.
That's the only way you can tell.
You keep them upright, except
when you position them.
The inside's lined with adechi.
Focuses the full force of the explosion
in specific direction.
Just make sure
you wedge it from behind.
Now you.
Mm, Afghan.
- Are they lethal?
- Big bang, of course.
- Hurry, please hurry.
All right.
We can get started.
My name is Leo Mandebach.
I'm in charge of hotel
operations on the Poseidon,
and I'm also supervisor
of this muster station.
- Lucky us.
- No, no, no, you've got this
all the wrong way around...
- Hey, you're Jeffrey Eric Anderson,
that Australian producer guy.
- What, are you with the IRS, are you?
- I've seen all your shows.
He's the guy who produced tower of fear
and world's greatest pop star.
- Wow.
- You were placed third
last season, right?
- I, uh, got Jeffrey
as a consolation prize.
- And I got the only
French woman who's prepared
to live in the states.
- You said that on
entertainment tonight, too.
- I did.
- He wants to be a director.
- Nice camera.
- Thanks.
Here, let me show you.
- Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain, Paul Gallico.
On behalf of the entire
Dulcet cruise family,
I'd like to welcome you
aboard the SS Poseidon.
Our weather, as you can see, is excellent,
and we expect fairly smooth
sailing as we set sail
this afternoon from Capetown.
You should all know
Poseidon is without a doubt
the finest vessel I've yet helmed.
It is completely state of the
art, as you shall soon see.
So sit back, enjoy yourselves, relax,
and leave everything else to
an excellent crew and myself.
Bon Voyage.
- Captain, sea marshal on the bridge.
- Ah, marshal Rogo.
Paul Gallico.
I trust you find your
accommodations adequately equipped,
as per orders.
- Yeah, thank you for
taking care of that, sir.
- Well, let's pray you
keep that little item
under lock and key.
Last thing I need is somebody shot.
Johnson.
- Sir.
- Marshal Rogo, your
Homeland Security people
sent me this about a half an hour ago.
- It's seems there's
actionable intelligence
of terrorist activity in
the southern hemisphere.
- Rising chatter, I presume.
- Maybe.
It leaves the authorization whether
to tell the passengers up to us.
- Poseidon represents a
very, very small piece
of real estate in an otherwise
massive southern hemisphere,
plus which we have our own top
notch security team on board.
- Really?
- Really.
- 'Cause the way I see it,
your team's primary mission
is to make sure that little old ladies
don't steal casino chips.
- The cruise industry
has come a very long way
in a very short time.
It's never been safer.
- Everything's safe till it isn't.
- Bring me something
specific to the Poseidon,
then we'll talk.
- How many people know I'm on duty?
- Outside of myself, my
people, and the captain,
only the ship's navigators and
the hotel operations manager.
- Well, let's keep the circle tight.
We wanna make people think I'm
just a lonely guy on vacation.
- Be careful.
Thank you.
- Hey.
- Yes sir?
- Those two guys just came
through with the kegs,
they on the crew list?
- Yeah, they're in the computer.
- What's with the beer?
- South African.
It's, uh, microbrew.
- Is that normal?
- Some people like the local stuff.
Is there a problem?
- Nah, just trying to get up
to speed on your procedures.
There we go, ma'am.
Thank you.
- Hey.
Hey there.
- How are you guys?
- You are a genius CEO to
hold a leadership retreat
on a cruise.
- Well, the company that plays together,
stays together, right?
- Hey.
- Is there a USB port on this thing?
- Yeah, I think it's over there.
It's here.
- Hey Richard.
Thanks for sharing
Rachel on your vacation.
- Sure, Melinda.
Hey, Lynn.
- Hey.
Well, I'm going to hit the buffet.
- You must have heard my
stomach growling at you.
- Bye.
- See you guys.
- I was going to tell
you, Richard, really.
- Well, at least you got
your priorities straight.
- Are we lost, young master Clark?
- Oh, no, sir, I'm
building dramatic tension.
- Oh, is that so?
- All the directors do it.
See, by showing everybody
just doing their job,
it creeps people out,
'cause they know the vampire
must be around somewhere.
- A vampire?
- I guess you're going
to have to shut me down
'cause I don't have a permit, right?
- We give Dylan Clarke permission to film
on board the SS Poseidon, provided that he
obeys all the rules.
Signed, Ronald acre,
dining hall supervisor.
There we are.
This should take care of
all your permit problems.
- You totally rule, Mr. Acre.
- Well, you know, I do have
some sympathy for the arts.
Up at university, I was a
bit of a thespian myself.
And cut.
How did we do, sir?
- One more take for safety,
just to make sure we got it.
- Right.
- You're so tense, you must
have a really tough job.
- I write novels, actually.
- Oh. Have I read any of them?
- Do you read much?
- Not really, no.
Well, Instyle magazine,
that kind of thing.
Doesn't matter.
I haven't actually written
a best seller, anyway.
- You must have done something
to afford a cruise like this one.
- I married a woman who
turned a little boutique
into 217 stores worldwide.
- Wow. What store?
- It's called hip hop.
- I love that place!
Ha, you should tell her
to stock more styles
for busty women.
A lot of times, I can't
find anything to fit me.
You can turn over now.
I can see why you'd have that problem.
I mean, most of their
stuff is for teen girls,
and you, well, you're way beyond that.
- You have worry lines.
Nothing serious, I hope.
- Mm mmm. Just personal stuff.
It's that obvious, huh?
- I'm very tuned into
people's emotional states.
Kind of goes with the job.
And I'm very good at keeping
private things private.
If you wanna talk.
- My wife and I are in
counseling, that's all.
- So how's your therapy going?
- For starters, she brought
along all her top managers
without telling me.
And then when we couldn't
get another room,
she made sure we each share
a bed with one of our kids.
- It's none of my business,
but a woman who treats her man
that way can't expect to
hold on to him forever.
-Ah, Mr. Acre. I am so glad
you're looking after us.
- Mrs. Rosen, it's my pleasure.
But you are aware that platinum members
can use the club dining room.
- Oh, I know, but I wanna
meet some new people.
- In that case, I've got
just the table for you.
Lucky number seven.
This way, please, Mrs. Rosen.
Lucky number seven for you, ma'am.
- Oh, Bishop Schmidt!
Mrs. Rosen, please.
- This is Bishop Schmidt.
He's on his way to Australia
to look after the aborigines.
- I'm sure it will be quite humbling.
- Oh, you're too modest.
So, Mr. Acres, if you
find any more stray dogs,
you just send them to our table.
- Of course.
- Dylan knew he was supposed
to be here for dinner.
- Honey, he's just a kid.
Let him run around, he's
not going to get lost.
Shelby, some champagne?
- I'm not real thirsty.
- So, does being a Bishop
make you a big shot
at the Vatican?
- If you know the game
of chess, Mrs. Rosen,
the pawns are the soul of the game.
- So your mother must be very proud.
And what about you, Mr. Rogo?
What religion are you?
- I was raised a Methodist.
- Oh Dr. Ballard, come and sit here.
- Actually, they like the
crew to eat separately,
unless, of course, they're
giving medical advice.
Complaints, anyone?
- No.
- Dr. Ballard, this is Mr. Rogo,
and this is Bishop Schmidt.
- It's a pleasure.
- You see, when Manny
passed away, I decided I had
to have a doctor close
at hand at all times.
- Mrs. Rosen has decided
table seven is the marketplace
of religious beliefs.
-Ah.
- You see, we have a
catholic, and a Methodist,
and a Jew all at the same table.
- There's a punch line
there somewhere, eh?
God certainly works in
strange ways, doesn't he?
Here he gives us this
beautiful rolling sea
and makes some of us sick.
- Well, the world is certainly in a mess,
and god ought to do something about it.
- So if you see trouble,
we should act upon it.
- Absolutely.
- You'll have to excuse me, then.
I had a love like that once.
And you could, too, Mr. Rogo.
- What makes you think I haven't?
It's so beautiful.
- It's got nothing on you, my beauty.
It's, uh, Morris Montblanc.
- They were a show sponsor, eh?
- Mm hmm. Yeah.
Very upmarket, Swiss made, very sharp.
- They gave it to you, hm?
- Product placement.
But the moment I laid eyes on it, I mean,
I knew it could only be for one person.
- Well, in that case,
I'm not giving it back,
because I love it.
- They want to see you on table 32.
Chop chop.
- Miss Clarke?
Miss Clarke, it's Dr. Ballard.
I'm coming in, if that's okay.
Are you okay?
Do you need help?
Some people are just a little sensitive
when the ship first sails.
- Oh god, it's you.
- I want you to wear
this patch for 24 hours.
Don't take it off.
- Yeah, I'm a student
nurse, I know how to use it.
- Oh, really? Well, I
guess you missed the part
where they tell you
when to put it on, huh?
- Yeah. Keep it up.
I'm not above throwing up on you.
- Do you feel like going to bed?
- But we just met.
Check, check.
- Good evening, Mr. Anderson,
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
How are you?
- Bon soir, Miss Bedier.
- Bon soir.
- I wonder if! Might
gently twist your arm
and ask you to favor us with a song?
- You are embarrassing
me, monsieur Martin.
- Please, it would be such
a treat for the passengers.
After all, it's not every
day we have a celebrity
on the ship.
- No turning back now.
- Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have
a celebrity on board.
I'm sure you all remember that incredibly
talented and beautiful French singer
from the world's greatest pop stars.
Well, she speaks six
languages, but of course,
she's most fluent of all in music.
So let's give a big Poseidon
welcome to Aimee Bedier.
I guess this means you're on.
-Mmm.
Merci.
Thank you very much.
Um, this is the song that
got me into the final.
It is about, uh, finding
the strength to go on,
even when the struggle seems
to be more than you can bear.
mm hoo ah
Tears fall like a sudden rain
it feels like I will never see the sun.
Caught inside this storm
of pain and there's no end
and nowhere left to run, mm.
But I'll get through, yes,
I will do whatever it takes.
I will be bending, I ain't gonna break.
- With a voice like that,
she should have won.
Night after night, I stay in this fight.
Until the light of day.
I'll make it.
- how does someone speak
with such a thick accent
and sing without one?
- They want to sell CDs in America.
James Martin.
- Mike Rogo.
Do you mind if I, uh.
- Sure.
- Thank you very much.
- Not too many guys smoking these anymore.
- Oh, well, I'm strictly a social smoker.
Other people's, of course, never my own.
And this is the only
indoor bar left on the ship
where you can light up.
- Good for us.
-Mmhmm.
Mm.
When I wake
oh, it is what it is.
I will give whatever it takes
- may ask you a question?
Are you working for the
Department of Homeland Security?
- Where'd you hear that?
- Um, the ship's hotel manager
told me, Leo Mandebach.
Problem?
- Yeah. Where can I find this Leo?
- Now?
Light of day
I will stay
and I know I'm no Saint
but in my soul, I have faith.
I can face
whatever it takes.
I will be bending
- I don't know why I'm here.
- I think you do.
I ain't gonna break, no
until light of day, I'll make it
make it.
- You're a damn fool.
Who else have you told?
Told what?
- About why I'm really on board here?
- No one.
People come to me, they,
they ask me questions.
I haven't told anyone.
- See, now you're a fool and a liar, Leo.
Sit down.
- You cannot come in here
and talk to me like that.
- If I want to, I can arrest
you and have the captain
confine you to quarters.
Now, I want the job descriptions
and names of everyone
you shot your mouth off to.
Start with the cruise director.
Report of special agent
Mike Rogo, Department
of Homeland Security.
Sea marshal SS Poseidon,
status report, embarkation
plus three days.
Despite briefing of the ship's personnel,
the manager of the hotel
portion compromised my cover
as a local off duty policeman.
The three people he spoke to have all
been contained to my satisfaction.
This ship is a challenging
assignment, as the wait staff
is even more international
than the passengers.
As many as 50 come from
countries that are known
to be safe havens for terrorists,
but all have passed security clearances,
and no unusual behavior has been noted.
Still, Poseidon can't be called secure,
as even a 12 year old has
breached what's off limits
as effectively as I have.
So far, so good.
Only what you'd expect to find
in a floating city this large.
I continue to look for
anything out of the ordinary.
Like flying in an airplane,
the long odds are,
the ship is safe.
But they pay me to be paranoid,
and I'm good at my job.
Excuse me, Mr. Clarke.
- Can a machine be unlucky,
or is it just the person?
- I've heard of both.
- At the same time?
Thanks for coming down.
-Ah, I don't often get a
chance to come to the casino,
I must admit.
I need to talk to you alone.
- I see, how can I help?
- First of all, how's Dylan doing?
- Well, he's a wonderful boy.
He's precocious, charming, very talented.
- Has he talked about me?
- Uh, yes.
- What'd he say?
Oh, come on Mr. Acre.
What we say in the casino
stays in the casino, right?
- He fears that you and your
wife are getting a divorce.
- He said that?
Why?
- Mr. Clarke, this is none of my business,
and I really don't mean
to be rude, but he fears
that you're having an affair.
- And what if I told you
that was completely untrue?
- Well, I would have to tell
you that he's followed you,
and that he's shown me
a videotape where you
and the lady appear friendly.
But if there's nothing further,
I really do have certain obligations.
- I appreciate you taking care of my son.
- Thank you, sir.
- I know the sewage area's
pretty gross, Mr. Acre,
but look at that tank.
So cool looking.
- But it's also crew only,
so we need to get a move on.
- Okay, you stay here, I'm
going across that tank.
And I zoom in, you're
standing in the shadows.
And when I say so, you throw
your head back, and laugh.
- Mightn't that be a bit much?
- It'll play.
Trust me.
Spielberg did a shot like that
in the second Indiana Jones.
Even though that one sucked.
And action.
Have you ever
seen anything like this?
- Yeah.
Never on a cruise ship.
- Without a uniform, without a face,
it's going to be hard for us to ID him.
- What about the passengers?
- The sooner they know, the harder it is
for us to catch the killer.
- Well, we can start by
identifying people missing
from work shifts, and we
can call a muster drill,
get a passenger head count.
- As soon as you get that
list of people missing
from work shift, send
it to me on the bridge.
I wanna go over that list together.
Dylan.
Oh, sweetheart, are you all right?
What happened?
What are you doing down here, anyway?
- Mrs. Clarke?
- I would like some answers.
- There's been a homicide.
- Oh my god, are you all right, baby?
- I'm fine, mom.
- What on earth were you
doing down here, Dylan?
- I'm afraid that was
my responsibility, mum.
He wanted to get a
final shot for his film.
I'm terribly sorry.
- Mr. Acre, you'll have to give
your report to marshal Rogo.
- I'll prepare that list now.
- Fine. Rogo, we are pushing
into a massive storm front,
so I suggest you finish your business here
as soon as possible.
Meet me on the bridge,
and let's go over that list.
Mrs. Clarke, I apologize once again
for any inconvenience to your son.
If you wish to speak to
me about this further,
I am at your disposal.
Good day.
- Richard, we need to talk.
Now.
- What's the drama, Rachel?
- There's been a murder on the boat.
- What are you talking about?
- Dylan found the body.
- You know he's always
making these things up.
- I saw it, too.
- Where is he, is he all right?
- Yeah. He's making a statement,
showing them his video.
- The whole thing?
- Yeah. Next to the dead body,
it's the closest thing
to evidence they have.
They need his ID.
We should go get him together.
- I think we need to talk first.
- If it's about your
girlfriend, you can save it.
I already know.
- Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
this your captain, Paul Gallico.
Because we will be experiencing
a storm front tonight,
I am exercising my authority to call
an emergency evacuation drill.
I repeat, this is only a drill.
Please report to your
muster stations immediately.
I repeat, please report to your
muster stations immediately.
We apologize for the
inconvenience, and thank you.
- You wanted this all along,
you just didn't have the guts to say it.
- You wanted this?
I support this family.
Nothing gives you the right to...
- Do what?
Find someone that doesn't believe
I'm the biggest loser she ever met?
- I want you out of this room today.
- And where do you propose I go?
- Magic fingers has a room, doesn't she?
She must.
You've been crawling off
to it every chance you get.
- Well, Rogo, we have a ship full
of very pissed off
passengers, but we do have
some information for you.
- Six people are missing.
- Six?
- It's not unusual.
Especially during a
drill that's unscheduled.
- Two of them are the
Clarke boy's parents.
My gut still tells me our dead guy
is one of the crewmembers.
Let's work these three hard.
- Johnson's doing that right now.
- How fast do we make port?
- Cruising speed is 23 point seven knots.
Right now we're pushing
28 point three knots,
dead into a storm front.
- Copeland.
Three passengers have been found,
plus a maintenance man in sickbay,
female bartender passed out in her room.
Looks like this is our body.
- Eric Dodson, janitor.
Out of Sydney.
- What do you know about him?
- Copeland?
- Wife and three kids.
Worked for Dulcet for 12
years now, sailed on Poseidon
from day one.
Spotless record.
- Well, now that we have our victim,
we need a list of suspects.
- Agreed.
Gentleman, I'm due at the
captain's table in five minutes.
- You go, keep up appearances.
Do my best.
Johnson, you have the bridge.
Aye, sir.
- Excuse me.
- Hey.
- Shelby, have you got a second?
- Sure.
Aren't these performers amazing?
- Look, honey, I may
not make the countdown,
and I wanted to wish you a happy new year.
- Where are you going to be?
- Your mother and I are
having some problems.
- Yeah, happy new year.
- Hey, kiddo.
- How'd you find me?
- Your sea pass.
The minute you swipe
that credit card, I know.
- I heard everything.
- I know.
I'm sorry.
- What are you sorry about?
You guys don't like each other anymore.
- Oh, sweetheart, that's not it.
It's, I was thinking maybe
you might want to go down
to the ballroom with me?
Be my date for dinner?
- No, thanks. I think I'll just stay here.
- Come on.
No one should drink alone.
- Okay.
- Slight change of plans.
- I thought new year's was family night.
- How's about a nice little
intimate party for two?
May I have a couple of glasses, please?
- What's going on, Richard?
- Well, I thought I'd move
in for the rest of the trip.
- Cheers.
- These two guys right here.
- Any particular reason?
- I was a cop for a long time before
I joined up with Homeland Security.
You play out the obvious leads
to the end, then you move on.
Okay?
- Okay, sure, but I'm coming with you.
- Suit yourself.
Where do I find these guys?
- The duty roster?
- Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.
And as we celebrate evening
when the clock strikes midnight,
we will be among the
first peoples in the world
to bring in the new year, pulling in all
of the other magnificent
countries and cultures
on this extraordinary planet with us.
And as I'd like to say
for any of you for whom
the love bug done bit ya,
The good news is, I'm also
licensed to perform weddings.
Happy new year.
Happy new year.
- Is that true?
- In maritime law, the captain's
title is very important.
- Too bad he can't do quickie divorces.
- Dinner is served, people.
- What are you doing?
- Johnson!
- Now what's he up to?
Hey, hey.
Don't move.
Back off.
Don't do it.
- What the hell are you doing?
- Do you know what that is?
- It's a keg of beer.
How many kegs of beer you
seen with an infrared port?
It's a bomb.
Are you armed?
Secure this area.
- Where are you going?
- To find his friend.
Tell the captain.
Don't touch anything.
- Dr. Ballard!
- Out of the way!
Out of the way.
- This captain Gallico.
What the hell's going on?
Hello?
Hello?
Johnson?
Is anyone up there?
Hello?
Johnson?
Johnson?
- What happened?
- I have no idea.
- Must be something else.
- Is your father here?
- No.
- There was a man murdered
on the boat today.
I don't know what this means,
but I want us to all
stay together, all right?
- Okay.
- What do you think that was?
I don't know.
- Well, I guess if it was a real problem,
you'd hear all those damn bells clanging.
- Mm.
- Leo, there's nothing from the bridge.
- What? How can that be?
- I don't know, but try to
keep everyone calm down here.
I'm going up.
Ladies and gentlemen, please stay calm.
Martin, keep everyone
calm, on the upper tier
and on my table.
Ballard, call security.
Everyone remain calm,
just please remain calm.
- Move!
Stay back!
Stay!
Move!
Stay where you are!
Sit down.
- Do as he says, now, do as he says.
- We're gonna have to
take this guy out, you in?
- We go at the same time?
The ship is sinking.
- You go right, I'll go left.
Try to pick up another guy on the way.
On my Mark.
Somebody help me, please.
- Good heavens.
We've lost power.
Someone help her.
Help her.
Get her down, get her down!
- Aimee?
Aimee.
Get off, get off.
Aimee, wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Please wake up.
- Oh my god.
- Oh god.
- Baby?
Oh, my baby.
You okay?
You all right?
I'm a little scared.
- Yeah.
We all are.
It's okay.
- Listen to me.
Listen up!
Listen to me!
This man is part of a
group who set off one,
maybe more, explosives on this boat.
If anybody knows anything
more, come forward now.
- Why don't you tell them the rest?
He's not just some passenger on vacation.
He's our sea marshal.
- Why don't you shut up?
If you want to live, save
the arguments for later.
- Oh my god.
We're upside down.
- Can't be.
Cruise ships don't capsize.
- They do now.
- We gotta get out of here.
- Where are we going?
- Uh, up. To the ballroom.
- You mean downstairs to the ballroom.
We're above it now.
- Oh my god, my kids are there.
- Brace yourself, Richard.
There's no telling what
happened in the ballroom, right?
They could all be gone.
- No.
If I'm alive, somehow, they're alive.
- Well, I'm with you.
For now, okay?
- Shelby?
Shelby, it's mom.
Where are you?
Shelby Clarke?
Mom?
- Shelby?
Shelby?
- Where is she?
- Mom!
Mom?
Mom?
- I see you, honey.
I see you.
- I don't know how much
longer this table's
gonna stay bolted up.
- That's all right, sweetheart,
you just stay real still.
And we're gonna get you down from there.
Just give me a sec.
- She's right.
- Maybe she can jump into something.
I don't know, a tablecloth,
something strong?
- I need some strong men, right now!
- Of course, sir.
- Alright, gentlemen
please, some help here.
Alright, let's clear this
debris out of the way.
Position it right underneath.
Everyone got a hand.
Stretch it tight.
- She's gonna go right through this.
- You have a better idea?
- No.
At least it'll break their fall.
Pull it tight!
All right, Shelby, jump.
Easy does it!
- I don't think I can.
- Come on, Shelby, you have to, honey.
You can't stay up there.
- Why don't you jump
first, and show her how?
- Better put this up,
otherwise she's going
to hit the floor.
Put her down.
All right, great.
All right, Shelby.
Your turn.
Can you talk to her?
- Shelby, you're one of the few people
that has medical experience.
Now we really need you down here.
- Amen to that.
Shelby, I got my own
little medical emergency
going on down here.
I could really use you.
So we're gonna count to
three, and you're gonna jump.
One...
Two, three.
- Shoot me, makes no difference now.
- Don't rush me.
Dulcet control?
Yes he's here.
We've got some kind of
failure on the Poseidon's GPS.
No transmission.
- See if you can reach 'em.
- Poseidon, this is Dulcet control.
We've lost you.
Please confirm your position.
Poseidon, repeating.
This is Dulcet control.
Please confirm your position.
- What's their last known location?
- Longitude 80 east, 80
Greenwich, middle of nowhere.
- All right, before we get this out,
let's get the it guys to
confirm that the glitch
is the Poseidon and not us.
I'll flag global maritime
and let them know
we're checking it out, but tell
them not to worry just yet.
Yes, over here!
We're gonna be out
of this very, very soon!
- Matthew, I don't think I can do this.
- You have to.
Set my arm.
Then we can triage together.
- Okay, what do you want me to do?
- We need to stabilize
the proximal fracture.
So when do this, you're
not doing me any favors
by taking it easy.
Go hard.
And go quickly.
All right?
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, that was a yank.
Now, I, I need
everyone to remain calm.
- Steady, no bones broken?
Forget nursing.
Orthopedics, that's your future.
- You are by far the bravest
Guinea pig I've ever known.
What now?
- Now the fun part.
We get to hang out and
celebrate new year's Eve.
- Well, there's, there's only
an hour and a half to go.
- Is that all?
- All right, everyone.
Listen to me.
I'm taking charge.
- Who said?
- Captain Gallico's dead.
I'm the most senior
member of the ship's crew.
- The way I see it is
you're a hotel manager
with a crook attitude, mate.
- We stay down here, and
we wait to be rescued.
Help is on the way.
- Oh, I stopped the bomb on
the starboard side engine room.
Makes me think the
explosion placed portside.
Food storage area.
- I, I think it might have something to do
with the metacentric height.
Now, that's basically the, uh,
the ship's center of gravity.
- So, how could we have flipped over?
- Well, judging from
what the marshal has said
about the explosion, it
could be this simple.
The weather's rough, and
we trimmed the stabilizers
to make better speed.
Now, if there was an
explosion below the waterline
just on one side of the boat,
and that hole's still letting in water,
then that might explain
how we fiipped over.
I'm sure Dr. Ballard will back me up,
but even an upside-down ship
has a center of gravity.
Of course, if we're still
taking on water, then.
- It won't stay that way forever.
- You don't know that.
Now, as a member of the
ship's crew, I am ordering you
to support my command.
Might I add a piece to this?
- Mr. Acre!
Mr. Kemal and I seem to be the
only ones left alive up here.
- Mr. Acre, is there a
passable hallway where you are?
- Yes, sir. Uh, it's a
bit on the tricky side,
but I, I think we could make it through.
- Look, it could take
hours for the rescuers
to reach us down here. Surely,
we should make a move up
through the ship to meet
them before it sinks.
- The blast probably ripped a big hole
in the ship above the
waterline now, up there.
We can climb up to it.
We can climb out through it.
- That's all very well for you young folk,
but what about an old lady like me?
No, I think, I think I'll
just stay here with you, Leo.
- He's the one responsible for this.
Why are we letting him live?
- He's a high value prisoner.
If we live, we need to know what he knows.
If we kill him now, that
intelligence dies with him.
- It may be hard for
some of you to believe
that god interferes
directly in our affairs,
But I think he's just given us a way out.
What's he saying?
- Sir.
- Tell me some good news.
- Don't have any.
We can't locate or raise the Poseidon.
- What about weather?
- The weather is bad, but nothing the ship
hasn't been through before.
- Then the only explanation would be
that someone deliberately
shut down all the systems.
- What do you wanna do?
- Call it in.
Hope to god it is just a
communications failure.
Hello, this is Dulcet command and control.
We've got a ship that's
gone missing on us.
Roger that.
- The Poseidon.
- Hey, mate.
That camera got any juice in it?
- Yeah. And I got an extra
battery, and an extra tape.
Was gonna film the whole
new year's evening, but.
And my name is Dylan, remember?
- That's great, Dylan, that's great.
Um, here's the deal. I want
you to shoot everything
between now and when we get off the boat.
- Think we're gonna live?
- Well, contrary to popular
belief, I'm an optimist.
Now, when we get off the
boat, I'm gonna buy that tape,
and I'm going to turn
it into a TV special.
We'll win a bloody Emmy.
- How much money do I get?
- Tough guy.
Okay, 10 percent.
- Deal.
- Deal, then.
- I think we have enough men to lift this.
- Hey, start shooting.
- Better get this.
- Great, I sliced my foot open!
- You shouldn't have left without shoes.
- Just keep going, we'll make it.
Just stop the bleeding.
- There, that's the way I
used to go up to the ballroom.
- Are you sure?
- I live and work here 10 months a year.
I'm sure.
- All right.
- Mr. Acre, the moment
we get the tip up there,
you'd have to secure it.
- We have a plan for that, sir.
Ready when you are.
- Let's get ready.
Ready?
One, two, three.
That's good.
All right, gentlemen, steady paced.
That's it.
Be careful.
Be careful around the side there.
Okay, doing well.
Keep going guys.
We're almost there.
That's it, looking good.
Doing well.
- Going for a climb, you're
going to need your hands,
aren't you?
- Let's walk it up, one, two, three.
- That's it, keep it coming.
Keep it coming towards us.
Keep it straight.
Here we go, I've nearly got it.
Have it.
I have it, drop it down.
There we are.
Someone needs to test this.
- I will!
- You be careful.
- Place your foot, then your
hand, then you move on, okay?
Here we go, then.
- Just like the rock climbing wall.
- Now, uh, I know why I
pulled this watch, captain,
but why are you stuck down here, sir?
- Oh, you can't pull an
easier duty than Christmas
and new year's Eve.
Besides, tonight's amateur night.
- I don't know.
It sounds like a good time to me.
Ops center.
All right, hold and I'll see.
Uh, negative for an SS Poseidon
at request coordinates.
Okay, I'll recheck.
- What's the problem?
- I have Dulcet cruise lines
control center on the line.
They say they've lost all communication,
GPS tracking signal, and all the contact
with one of their ships.
- Pull it up on one.
Enlarge the area.
- Hold, Dulcet control.
- Try to raise them.
- SS Poseidon, this is us
fifth fleet operations center,
please acknowledge.
- Try again.
- SS Poseidon, this is us
fifth fleet operations center,
please acknowledge.
- Keep trying.
- What should I say to
Dulcet control, sir?
- Tell them that we're on it,
and we'll get back to them shortly.
Dulcet control, we are
searching right now.
Will advise.
- Yeah, this is the ops watch officer.
I want key personnel recalled
asap, get them back here now.
This is fifth fleet operations.
We need an AWACS in the air
for a possible search and rescue.
Affirmative, possible search and rescue.
We'll transmit what we have now.
So much for a quiet evening.
Nobody move,
everyone just stay seated.
I am in control, I am
taking care of everything.
- You guys are leaving?
- Not without you.
- Mom, I'm helping these people.
Matthew knows what to do, but,
I have to help.
- You could die down here, Shelby.
- You could die up there.
Nobody knows.
And most of the people
that we're taking care of,
they couldn't get up there
even if they wanted to.
- I am not leaving you down here.
- Okay, here's what we'll do.
Um, do you have a pen or
a marker or something?
- I'll find one.
- Everywhere you go, leave me a message.
Matthew and I will follow as soon
as we stabilize the really bad ones.
- Shelby.
Please.
- It's the best I can do.
Go, okay.
- Coming.
Dylan, you were supposed to stay up there.
- I wanted to get more shots.
Besides, it's fun.
- Get up there.
Climb.
Get up there.
- Your turn, mom.
Go to the left.
Go on, get over there.
Here we go.
Okay.
You're rolling this, right?
Aimee, we're next, come on, let's go.
- Just like you did before.
- Mr. Mandelbach, the people
below us probably drowned.
It's not too late to join us.
- You are violating a direct order
from the officer in charge.
If you do survive, I will see to it
that you are prosecuted.
- I hope you will.
Fine, go.
You're all gonna die.
Then we'll die trying.
God bless you all.
- Bishop Schmidt. I, I
would like to come with you.
My Manny was a fighter, so
I'm, I'm doing it for him.
- This way.
- We've got nothing, sir.
AWACS reports no signals
on any communications band,
and radar sweep is inconclusive.
- Okay, I've heard enough.
Give me admiral Jennings,
and track down Suzanne Harrison, mi-6.
- British intelligence?
- Our CIA station chief
rotated out last week,
and miss Harrison's
the only seasoned intel
that knows this region.
Besides, I've been going
through this manifest,
and there are over 300
UK citizens on that boat.
- Sir.
If Manny were still alive,
he'd have to defend my honor.
I'm very sorry, Mrs. Rosen.
-All right, oh.
- Very good, well done.
Good, granny.
Okay, come on, let's get out of here.
But what about all those people?
The water's coming in.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- Anything yet?
- No, sir.
It's like Poseidon just vanished.
- What do we have on the search area?
- A-wax have been aloft
for about an hour so far,
we haven't picked up anything.
- That's it?
Space command says
we don't have any
satellites that are tasked
or taskable for that area.
- 2,000 people and who knows
how many Americans go missing
and we can't get a bird
to overfly the area?
- This is Harrison, echo
code Alpha zebra 215
on the way to authentication.
Go ahead.
- I need priority read task on
geosynchronous satellite 332
to cover grid coordinates
20 degrees longitude,
45 degrees latitude.
That will
require com-sat clearance.
- No.
No, this is a level five
sis intelligence branch
command override.
Roger, stand by.
It's alright.
Keep coming.
It's just like walking in deep snow.
Careful, careful, Mrs. Rosen.
- Poseidon video shot by Dylan
Clarke, hallway sequence.
- What sort of pictures you gettin', mate?
- Got a great low light
setting, say something.
- This is Jeffrey Eric Anderson.
A handful of us, along with
the terrorist mastermind
behind this act are making
a hazardous journey upward.
In the ballroom others
remain, some are dead,
some are injured, and others
are pinnin' their hopes
on rescuers gettin' down here.
Whether we're doin' the right
thing or not, who knows.
- What's our situation?
- We don't have a body
count on the dead yet but
we've got two dozen critical,
the rest is just banged up.
- Well what if the people
who climbed up are right?
What if the only chance of rescue is up?
- We stay here.
Let's go over the plan.
- We have to keep moving
up and towards the stern,
the explosion probably came
from the food prep area.
- According to Mr. Kemal's
map, we have to go through
the main kitchen, through
the crew corridor,
and the ventilation ducts to get there.
- The Internet lounge is on the way,
we should try and get an email out.
- Yes, like a virtual mayday.
- Let's go.
- Call.
- Call.
- I'm in.
- I'm in.
- 20 to stay in.
I gotta take this.
- Mercer.
Mercer, fifth fleet command.
High priority rescue mission,
complete your satellite intel,
I need you and your men
operational at 30 miles.
- Yes, sir, we're on it now.
- Game over, gentlemen.
We've got a snafu with a cruise ship.
- So we've gotta get up there, eh?
Hey, Dylan.
- Just like the monkey bars.
- You gettin' all this?
- Yep, got it all.
Let's go, let's go.
- We're all getting up there,
belle, one way or another.
- No.
My heart's already beating a mile a minute
and we haven't gone very far.
- Tie it off somewhere.
- Right, I'll tie it off.
- Mrs. Rosen, come over here.
We'll pull you up.
- No, I can't.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Come on.
Holy cow.
- Mrs. Rosen, you're next.
- I can't, I'm gonna go back
and wait with the others.
- You mustn't, belle.
- Martin, go on ahead, go on.
Now, belle, belle, you listen to me.
You made a commitment to
live when you came with us.
If you quit now, you
undermine everybody else here.
Now I know this may be difficult for you,
but there's no choice.
- That's just the kind of
thing Manny would've said.
- Get a good hold,
belle, we'll do the rest.
- Here we go.
- Watch it, watch it, easy.
- Okay.
That's it,
now you're gonna step up.
Well done.
- I think we may have the target name
that was missing from the
information the CIA sent
to us after their raid on the
terrorist compound in Jordan.
SS Poseidon.
Could I have a moment
with the admiral, please?
I've spoken with Langley
and my superiors in London,
both groups have gone
over all the information
they'd also sent regarding
the ship and are up to speed.
- The captain reported that
there was a homicide on board.
He had the ship running at
full speed through a storm,
tryin' to make Sydney ahead of schedule.
- That's just the
beginning of the good news,
a meeting of a major
terrorist cell was taken down.
One with a host of plans
for terrorist operations
against American interests
around the world.
- The state?
- No, they were careful to
pick the softest targets
that they could, outside of the us.
But ones that could potentially
cost thousands of lives
and throw the entire world into a panic.
- You think the Poseidon was a target?
Why didn't anyone...
- The raid found concrete information
that led to arrests in 10 countries.
But it was also obvious
there was a hole in the data.
Unfortunately, our two governments
didn't have the resources
to fill that hole.
Admiral, we need to send out a mayday.
Alert one
recon, you're go for launch.
Alert one
recon, we're ready to hop.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
- I'll be right back.
What is that?
- It's nothing.
It's mine.
- We need all kinds of
medicine, what is it.
- Percocet?
That's a powerful painkiller.
- So what?
- Doctor Ballard is
working with a broken arm,
he's in terrible shape and we need him.
- Yes, well I'm so sorry I
can't help your boyfriend.
And there's only one left.
Jamie, Jamie.
Has anyone seen my husband?
- Matthew.
- I wondered where those went.
He stole them from the ship's inventory.
- Selfish bastard.
- Yeah.
- Bill Gates's worst nightmare.
Let's see.
Come on.
- Oh my god.
God, oh my god.
- Oh, those poor ladies
that you work with.
- They're more than that.
They're like sisters to me.
Would you help me?
I'd like to
gather some of their stuff together
that maybe I could take
it to their families.
Thank you.
- This is unbelievable.
Help, please.
- Who's there?
Over here.
I'm here.
My husband, have you seen my husband?
Brown hair,
dark blue suit.
Is he gone?
Yeah.
- Do you think you can walk?
- No.
I just wanted to know about him.
- Do you think he knew?
- What?
- How much she loved him?
- It doesn't matter.
- What are you doing?
- Look at your feet.
Do you wanna live, Richard?
- Yes.
Yes I do.
- Anything?
- No.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
Something's happening.
Alright, we got power.
- Maybe not for long, make it fast.
- I know, I can email my Christmas list.
- How many is that?
- About 500.
It's kind of a corporate thing.
- Send it.
- Here goes somethin'.
On it's way.
- Mom, you just got a
Christmas email marked urgent.
- It's a week late, it
couldn't have been that urgent.
- Who's it from?
- Your college friend, Rachel.
- What's Rachel up to?
- Does your friend have a
really weird sense of humor?
- Honey, just read it to me, okay?
- Cruise ship Poseidon
capsized, Indian ocean.
Many dead, small group trying
to escape through hole,
others in ballroom, send rescue party.
- Not a joke, it's really Rachel.
Middle name Jaqueline,
birthday December 11,
mother's maiden name Starr.
Call Navy immediately.
Life or death.
The people
have this man on board.
- The coast guard forwarded us a message.
You both better see this.
Put it up on one.
- Well, I guess this removes any doubts.
- I want the seal team in
Diego Garcia ready to go
the moment we find that ship.
- Yes, sir.
- I'm guessing that a flashing red light
is not a good thing, Martin?
- Right, it's the danger light.
Probably means there's fire
inside there, I'm afraid.
- We have no choice but to
go through there, right?
- Yes.
- I'm gonna take a first look.
- What are we gonna do?
- You
are gonna think about
the good things in life.
The things you wanna live for, alright?
I'll be back.
And you, think about plan B.
One recon to bridge,
we have visual on Poseidon.
Record coordinates,
28.68 south, 58.92 east.
There are no survivors visible.
She's belly up, captain.
With a huge hole in her stern.
We have the satellite image in, sir.
- Put it on the main screen.
- Rotate, see if you
can clean up the image.
- Get all this over to Diego Garcia.
I want those seals moving, now.
- Yes sir.
- How come the ship rolled like that?
- A metacentric high would
be my best guess right now.
The explosion caused
her to shift radically,
the ships balance would've
been thrown completely off,
tend to roll toward the
side with the blast.
- He'll be in the air momentarily.
But the distance is too
far for the helicopters
to make it there and back.
- So what's your options?
We contacted a fishing trawler
about 150 kilometers out.
- Well, will they make it in time?
- We don't know how much
water the ship has taken on
or how fast she's sinking.
But we have to try.
- Storm's coming our way, that's for sure.
How far to the east are they getting rain?
- From the us Navy.
It's code one.
- There's a cruise ship believed capsized.
Poseidon, last out of Cape Town.
- Survivors?
- Doesn't say.
- Asks us to get there quick and
be ready for rescue support.
We must be the closest to her.
Head for these coordinates.
- Straight through the
middle of the storm?
- If anyone's still alive,
we're the only chance
the poor souls've got.
Send word that we're on the way.
Let's get to it, men.
- Look, back there.
- Oh, stop it.
- I just feel that I...
- Enough of how you feel.
That's it.
- You're sure?
- I'm all turned around, but
ordinarily, I think that's the door where
I'd go up to the ballroom,
so now we'd go down to it.
Just give that a yank,
push it up and give it a yank.
Hang on, hang on.
- Okay, men, listen up.
We've gone operational.
Civilian at sea rescue.
This could stack up to be a big one.
We have a 135,000 ton
cruise ship, the SS Poseidon
has capsized but not sunk,
based on preliminary satellite photos.
There are no Navy assets near enough
to mount a rescue operation.
We're being air dropped
to the nearest vessel.
Looks to be a South African
medium-range Fisher.
We board, prep it to take on survivors,
then we stage ourselves
to board the Poseidon.
The message we intercepted originated here
in the Internet lounge.
Which means that at
that moment, the D deck
was still above water.
Also, there's a reference
to ballroom survivors.
So the hole had to be large enough
to take on sufficient water fast enough
to capsize the Poseidon.
Let's give these people a
chance, flight deck in 20.
Let's get wet.
- I have a grandson in Israel.
Not you, nor anybody else is gonna stop me
flying to see him.
Well, the Bishop said
we could think of things
that made our lives worthwhile.
- I plan on going to my
son's first film premiere
and my daughter's college graduation.
- I'm with your mother
on that premiere, mate.
We're tryin' to have a baby.
- I would like to have a little girl.
Or maybe a boy, too.
- Hey, it's midnight.
Happy new year.
- Where's the champagne?
- Not one of you will
live to see the morning.
- Shut up.
- What do you know?
- Once we get in there, we
have to really move fast.
There is very little
oxygen, there's toxic fumes,
and we do need something
like this to cover our faces.
- Use this.
What are you doin?
- Tear it into strips, we'll
make masks for everyone.
Give me your jacket.
Let's hope
there's no more fires.
Come on, come on.
Come on, this way.
Keep goin'.
- No, no, no.
Think about something else.
Come on, think about your grandson.
That's it.
That's it.
Alright.
Now turn 'round.
Turn 'round.
That's it, take my hand.
One step, take one step.
That's it.
That's it, take one step.
That's it, we're going
there, we're getting there.
- Rolfe.
This way.
Now.
Go.
Get out, come on.
Come on, come on, get out.
- The water's risen about six
inches in the last half hour.
- Doesn't change anything.
- It changes everything.
It means the ship's sinking.
- We know that.
That's why we're waiting
here, so people can find us.
- Rachel.
- Daddy?
- Shelly.
It's okay.
Grab hold, quickly.
- Get out quickly.
Move it out.
- What's so funny?
- You can't accept death.
- You have to make noise.
But nothing changes.
- Think I might wanna use
that axe when you're done.
- So much for regulations.
- One way to beat customs.
That's good.
Some flashlights.
Let's see, okay.
Take it, don't lose it.
- You know for a religious man,
you have a lot of anger issues.
Give us that.
Now that's what I've always wanted to do.
Gimme that camera.
- A machine gave me a free candy bar once,
but my mom made me pay for it.
Candy bar?
There you go, one for
you, and one for you.
And two for me.
- I think that this looks
to be what Kemal drew.
- We get through the air shaft.
- No, up to the crew deck
and the engine room.
- Not for the claustrophobic.
If we can make it through,
we'd be in great shape.
Get the others ready.
- Left.
Move.
- Get over here.
- Hey, Dylan, hold up, man.
- Damn you and that camera.
- What's wrong?
- What do you care, Jeffrey,
this is great drama.
- Can't let Dylan scoot ahead,
we've gotta keep him in sight.
- Well then why did you make me go first?
- To look after you,
there's one behind you.
- Well do me a favor and do not have
an answer for everything.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry either.
Well I am sorry.
I let you think that stupid
camera matters, it doesn't.
The only thing that matters is you.
We're done here, kid, thanks.
- No, no, no.
We use everything we
have to keep us going,
the video is about what happened.
We use even that.
- Does that mean I keep filming?
- Yep.
- Here I come.
- Come on, now, onwards and upwards.
Why I am
ordering you to stay here.
To stay right here, no one
is going to get off this ship
alive unless they listen to me.
- I'm worried about you
catching hypothermia.
We need to find you some
dry clothes right away.
- From where?
- It's gonna be unpleasant but,
we've had some fatalities.
- I get it.
That's where I got the shoes.
- Okay.
- Shelby, this is Shoshanna.
- Hi.
- What, you feel so guilty,
you can't look at me,
is that it?
- You've got every right to be mad.
Right now, you're dad's just worried
about where your mother is.
- I don't need to hear
a word from you, okay?
- She took Dylan with her.
There's a group of people who decided
that instead of waiting
to be rescued here,
they would try and get
up to the top of the ship
and wait for them there.
- Shelby, your mother is
the smartest woman I know.
If she thinks that's the way out,
then that's where we're going.
- Yeah, well, that's what
Matthew and I are thinking.
There's just one problem with that.
That control freak over there.
- The people that went up that tree
are already dead.
I'm ordering you to stay
here, stay right here.
No one is going to get out of here alive
unless they listen to me.
- You go get the clothes,
we'll tail them together.
- Hey, baby, it's me.
I'm making this tape in case
somebody finds it someday.
I know I haven't been a perfect husband,
I'm trying like hell to get out of here,
to get back to see you.
But if I don't, just
I want you to know
that I will always
always remember how much
we loved each other.
And the last thing I
see before I go will be
your face.
I love you, sweetie.
The others coming?
- Yeah, they're coming
in a couple minutes.
Hell of a way to start the new year.
- Smoke?
- Now this is as good a time as any.
Just in case?
- Nobody wants to go out quietly.
Dylan, give me your hand.
What about the rescue operation?
Are there any other assets in play?
- We had a guided missile cruiser group
that was made afloat, but
they're six hours out.
- No carriers are available?
- They're either in
home port or on station
to support ground operations.
Too far from the Poseidon
and even at top speed they'd
never get there in time.
- Well let's hope whatever you can do
isn't too little, too late.
- We've gotta get a move on.
I'm gonna go first,
you follow me, alright?
One step at a time.
- Like we just finished the
claustrophobic challenge,
now we got the water challenge.
- Let's can the clever metaphors, mate,
til we're at the top.
Everybody else, stop muckin' about.
Out and up fast.
One step at a time, alright?
Aimee, Aimee, don't look down.
- Okay.
- Now follow me, come on.
Don't look down.
Now come on.
Come on, up and out.
- I don't think I'm cut out for this.
- Well, no one is.
But you're doing fine.
I think the best thing
we could possibly do
is try and think about
something else, alright?
Okay.
Come on, love.
- Mr. Martin,
do you consider yourself a brave man?
- No, not at all.
-I do.
Because if I come out of this alive,
it's because of you.
- Well, thank you.
Hang on.
- What was that?
- I don't know.
- Get inside.
- Mom.
- Just keep climbing, Dylan.
- Alright, we gotta get
everybody up off this ladder
or we're all gonna drown.
Keep moving.
You're next.
Command center, we've arrived
at the fishing trawler.
Will begin seal team insertion.
- What is your fuel status?
We're gonna be
limping home on fumes, command.
- Captain.
- Let's give these lads a hand.
- Yes, sir.
Team is in,
we have their signal.
We're heading home.
Top deck, clear.
- Lieutenant Sam Mercer,
United States Navy,
permission to come aboard?
- Granted, lieutenant.
Captain Anthony Thorpe.
I make us to be about 30
miles from the Poseidon.
- How long will it take
your men to dump the catch?
- Dump the catch?
- You are just barely close enough
to get there before it goes under.
The lighter you are, the faster you go.
- Well let's pull everything
in and clear the hold.
- Sir?
- The bathrooms on this
deck have two access doors,
if we can cut through one of them,
we'll get to the stairway.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- Okay, everybody, the
Bishop, Dylan, and me,
we're gonna scout ahead
and we'll report back.
- Keep heading that way towards the stern.
- The water seems to be rising.
- We'll be back and we'll
make a decision as a group.
- I don't think we should be splitting up.
- You're lost.
You acted so damn sure back there,
like you couldn't possibly be wrong.
- Hope is sometimes more
important than the truth.
- Save it for your sermons, Bishop,
you are talking about our lives, here.
- I'm very sorry about your friends, there
and I'm not god.
As a man, I can only do so much
so why don't you work with me?
- Because I'm as lost as you are.
- How 'ya holdin' up?
What is it, you wanna talk?
- Do you think we're going to die?
- We might.
Lookin' more and more like we will.
- I have decided I'm not
spending the last hours
of my life finding fault
or second guessing.
And if we live, I'm
just going to love you.
- I'm gonna try and be the best
husband in the world for ya.
I'm gonna Cherish you every day.
I love you.
- Compared to what we've been through
this looks pretty simple.
- Yeah, with two arms, maybe.
- Can you make it?
- He can make it.
- Excuse me.
Hey.
Excuse me.
What exactly do you think you're doing?
- Oh, Leo, get lost.
- Shoshanna, you're goin' up first.
Shelby, you're next, I'll follow you,
and doctor Ballard, I'll help you up.
Let's see if these other
people will join us.
- I said no.
- You're in my way.
- No, you.
- You get down from there.
- Get off me.
- Hands off my daughter.
You alright?
- Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
- You've helped these people,
you can convince them.
- I know that you are all really scared.
So am I.
And my mother's group, they are right.
A lot of you are hurt,
and if you can't follow,
I promise you we will do
whatever we can to send somebody back.
The rest of you, figure
out how much longer
you think this place will be safe.
Make a decision.
- My wife is hurt, I can't leave her.
Most of the people here, they can't do it.
But here.
This is a note for our kids.
The address is on it.
- Four more after Ballard.
- Are you okay?
- I've had better nights,
but I'm gonna make it.
- What's that sound?
- It's the ship.
It's shifting.
Grab the top, it might slide.
- Come on, Ballard, grab my hand.
- Come on.
Keep moving, you can make it.
- Hurry Matthew.
- Please.
- Hurry.
- Hurry and climb the tree.
Get off.
- I got you, doctor Ballard.
No.
Pull the tree up.
- We have to do something.
- Dad, dad.
Dad, we did everything we could.
Okay?
- How many minutes is it, now?
-About a minute more than
you asked me a minute ago.
Hey, Rogo.
You got a way with words.
- 19 minutes.
- My husband, Manny, used to say
there was no such thing as evil people,
just evil things that
happen to regular people.
I wanna know what terrible
thing's happened to you
that you should be so full of hate.
- You target thousands of innocent people,
whose only crime is that
they've got enough bucks
to go on this bloody
cruise, I don't get it.
20 minutes.
We have to make a decision, people.
- Leave them?
But you only gave them
an extra five minutes.
- I don't know how many
that this ship has left
until it heads to the bottom of the ocean.
- I want to stay longer, too.
- Alright.
I'm gonna head the other way.
It'd be better for everybody.
- How sure are you?
- Less than positive.
More than I was before they
didn't come back on time.
- You should wait.
- Good luck.
- You must stay, please.
- Okay, let's get a feel
for what we're up against.
- What's that?
- A three meter blast hole.
Bad news is, that pretty
much confirms terrorism.
There's good news?
- Yeah, they've blown up an escape hatch.
Also a way for us to get in.
If we've got survivors,
that's where we look first.
The hole is dark, maybe a lot
of structural debris in there.
Excuse me.
Put a light recon team at the entrance,
even while we're getting
the boat in position.
I'll get the sitch, radio back,
we bring only what we need.
Let's put three zodiacs in
the water from zero hour.
- If there's anybody in that water,
we'll get 'em out, sir.
- Okay, get your teams ready.
Dismissed.
- So how does it feel, knowing
this is your big creation,
huh?
One of the largest mass
murders in history?
I'm curious, you know, takes
a real special kind of fella.
You're like an artist.
You know, most suicide
bombers die on impact.
You have a rare opportunity
to view the consequences
of your actions close up.
You have to understand
we're gonna be drowning here
in an hour or so, right?
So tell me the truth.
It isn't like I can share it with anyone.
- What is it that you
want to know so much?
- What does it feel like to be surrounded
by your own mass murder?
- It had to be done.
Me, I am just the instrument.
- Do me a favor, before we die,
remind me to kill you first.
- Alright,
the way I see it, is Rogo
walked into rising water,
where the Bishop went was dry.
We can't stay here, so that's
the way we're gonna go.
- They could be hurt and
they could need our help.
- Maybe, but come on, let's get a move on.
Come on.
Hey, guys, you there?
- Here, here.
- It's them, it's them.
- Dylan, here.
- Dylan.
- Hey.
- You almost gave me a heart attack.
- Where's Rogo?
- He went the other
way, so what do we know?
- Good and bad, there is a way out
and it's in the direction
that we explored.
- Wonderful.
- But to get across, we're
gonna have to backtrack
down a deck and then cross over.
- Then let's go.
- I hope you can all swim.
The deck is underwater.
Whoever goes first will
give two tugs on the rope
as the signal they got there.
- But what about Mrs. Rosen.
How's she gonna swim?
- What?
I was a swim champion in high school,
I got medals and everything.
- I guess it's me, eh?
- It's either me or you.
- I can do this.
- I believe her, she can do it.
- Hey, you did that
underwater obstacle course
on tower of fear, all the contestants
went more than a minute,
Mrs. Rosen can do it.
- Ah, Jesus.
This is crazy, she can't
be down there on her own.
- Time us.
- 47 seconds.
She said she was a good swimmer.
- I haven't pulled the rope yet.
- It's gone slack.
- How are you doing?
- I'm a bit dizzy, but
I'm gonna make it.
- Alright,
well it's not that far.
Let's go together.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- There it goes again.
Time.
- 1 minute, 13.
- You,
you better
pull the rope.
They'll be getting worried.
- That's it.
-Time
- 1 minute, 32.
- Now when I get the next
pull, we're goin' in.
You first.
- Dylan, you follow your mum.
- Yup.
You then, Aimee, and me.
- How are you feeling now, Mrs. Rosen?
- Don't you worry about me.
You just
stay there and help the others out.
- Get ready, that's it.
You two both work on this ship,
there's gotta be a way.
- Any stain/veil.
- I don't care if it's a
float to the next level,
whatever it takes.
- Let's just keep going.
- I'm feeling a bit faint.
Oh my god, I'd better sit down.
I did good, didn't I?
Just like the old days.
- You did great, didn't
doubt you for a second.
- Oh yes you did.
- I'm gonna get you outta
here, Mrs. Rosen, I promise.
- You're sweet.
Could you make sure
my grandson gets that?
I will.
- Don't think I've got very long.
- Don't talk rubbish.
- No.
I've had a good life.
- God loves you, belle.
- I love you too, Manny.
But, Manny,
before I go,
would you describe the beautiful park?
The one opposite our apartment?
Please?
- Alright.
It's a beautiful spring day,
we're walking through the park.
The neighborhood kids are
out with their mothers,
they laugh and eat ice cream.
And there's a fountain,
and it has a beautiful rainbow.
- I can see it, Manny.
Can you see me?
- Yes.
Looking just like the day I married you.
- Sir.
Got her at 3:00.
Stern's rising.
We're racing against the clock here,
can't afford for anyone
to lose us any time.
Make sure everyone understands.
- I have lieutenant Mercer on the line.
- Put him through.
- Go ahead, lieutenant,
you are on the box.
Poseidon is five kilometers out,
but the stem is rising.
Deploying the zodiacs now.
- Be careful, lieutenant.
Bring you and your men home safe.
- Yes, sir, Mercer out.
- What are the latest satellite images?
It can't stay afloat much longer, can it?
- No.
They can't have much time left.
- Shelby.
There's somethin' I wanna say to you.
- Dad it's okay, we both
know how we feel, come on.
- No, no.
You need to listen to this.
I've made some mistakes.
- Dad, you don't have to say that.
- But I'm so proud of you
and I'm so sorry that you may not get
to have more time
to be this great person
you've turned out to be.
Hey, hey come on.
We found Rogo.
We're comin'.
This way, let's go.
- How many of you are there?
- There's four of us.
- You got out with mom
and Dylan, are they okay?
- I'm not sure.
We can't go back the way we came,
it's too dangerous, I'm gonna
have to pull you up here.
Come on.
- Isn't there supposed to
be a big hole right there?
- We have to get through that.
Hey, we made it.
Mom?
- Shelby?
- Mom.
- Shelby.
- Rachel.
- I've been such a jerk
to you this whole trip.
- You didn't mean to be.
I get on people's nerves sometimes.
I'm gonna try and be better.
- But you're okay, yeah?
- Especially since you and dad are here.
- Us Navy seals.
We're here to rescue survivors.
Is there anyone there?
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- Here.
- Here.
- Does anyone have a military background?
- Yeah, sergeant Mike
Rogo, us first armored,
desert storm.
- How many are you?
- We've got 11, just
put two groups together.
- Are there others inside?
- Possibly, but we haven't seen 'em.
Listen, there were two charges set.
Only this one went off.
I have a high-value
prisoner, one of the bombers.
- Well, Poseidon doesn't look like
she can last much longer than 30 minutes.
- You have an explosives package?
- Affirmative, but we're
reading high levels
of natural gas, we could
ignite a fireball if we use it.
- Gotta chance it.
- Got it.
Then we're settin' up to blast.
- C4.
- Copy that, lieutenant,
survive group located.
They have confirmed group of 11
and are working a way to extract them.
- That's good, but there have to be more.
- Workin' on it, ma'am.
- Handset coming your way.
Rogo, there's no air assist.
Everybody has to make it
a couple a couple minutes
in the water before we pick 'em up.
Doable?
- Yeah, you just be there.
- Wait, wait, wait.
If we don't make it
out, see that this stuff
gets where it needs to go, please.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Wait.
This too, okay.
- Yes, ma'am, will do.
Let's initiate.
- Alright, let's get everybody back.
Everybody back,
as far as you can go.
- Alright, get in the back.
Alright, everybody get back, get back.
- Good to go, sir.
- Big pop, some flames,
should die back quickly.
- We're set.
- Copy.
- Okay, get down, get down.
Get cover.
- In five, four, three,
two,
one.
- We've got a mess here.
- Looks impassible here, too.
- You said there were two
charges, where's the second?
- Starboard side engine room, not far.
- Could you set it off?
- Yeah, if we can get to it,
if we can find it.
Was that from the explosion?
- Negative, Rogo.
The stern's going under, this
exit's gonna be underwater
in a couple of minutes.
Evacuate to the engine room,
we'll meet you on the other side.
- Copy that.
- Let's move out.
- You remember we talked about plan B?
This is it.
The catwalk,
we've gotta get it down
somehow.
- Here, Mr. Rogo, use this.
Just flip it upside down.
- Thanks, kid, I know where it is.
It's on that side, over there.
- Things aren't looking too good
for our TV show, are they, Mr. Anderson?
- Don't you believe it.
I'm sure it's gonna pay for
my kid's way through college.
- You want us to cross that?
- It's your only chance.
- We'll burn and drown at the same time.
- It's no harder than
anything else we've done,
you can do it.
We gonna have a go at this or what?
- Well we need to go
across this or we drown.
- I'll go first.
Someone better be ready when
I get to the other side.
- I'll go.
- God help me.
-Alright, Richard, come on.
- Dylan.
Look, I already said this to your sister.
If something happens...
- It won't, dad.
- Yeah, I know.
I love you, sport.
Rachel.
You are the love of my life.
Nothing will ever change that.
Not now, not ever.
Richard.
Come on.
Hey.
Keep goin'.
Come on.
Good.
Richard.
- Richard.
Look at me.
Come on.
- Don't look down, you can do this.
It's only a few more yards.
And you need to be there on
the other side for the kids
and for me.
Now you turn around
and you do this for us.
Now.
Here.
Walk.
Who's next?
- Rogo, what's goin'
on, what's the holdup?
- Copy that, we'll pick up the pace.
Boat's going down, we only have minutes
to find that charge and blow it.
This looks like it'll hold
two at a time, let's go.
- That'll be us.
This is Mercer,
we have radio contact
with the 11 survivors.
- Only 11 people.
- There have to be more.
Will attempt
rendezvous shortly, commander.
- Come on.
- Let's go.
- No.
- We're not doin' this again.
What's it gonna take?
- You have nothing to give me.
- Your family.
You cooperate, I'll see you to it
that you can see your family.
- You have no power to do that.
- You'll be interrogated first,
I can't stop that.
But after, I'll make sure you see 'em.
If I have to charter the plane myself.
- Mm.
- It's takin' too long.
- Come on, it's okay.
- Hang on.
- Stay back.
- You'll die with me.
- Not today.
- Okay, baby.
I got your back.
Let's go.
Come on, Dylan, you can do it.
Nice and easy.
It's okay.
- What is it, baby?
- You know the president's
physical fitness test at school?
- Yeah?
- I fell off the balance beam.
- That's not gonna happen now.
You're very brave
and your dad is there on the other side.
You just keep lookin'
straight ahead at him.
Let's go.
- Come on.
I'm right here, Dylan.
Come on.
That's it.
A few more steps.
That's it, that's it.
You're okay.
Come on, Shelby.
You can do it.
I'm right here.
Hold on, hold on.
- Matthew.
Come on.
- If I stand up, I might lose my balance.
- Okay, so just keep
it low and in control.
What do you guys call that?
- Metacentric height.
- Yeah.
- Shoshanna,
you can make it.
Come on, that's it, you can do it.
Come on.
Nice and easy.
Come on.
Come on, nice and easy.
Shoshanna, you can make it.
Just walk right to me.
Come on, that's it.
You can make it.
- Dad.
- Give us your hand.
That's it, come on.
- Shoshanna.
Hold tight.
We'll get something to pull you up with.
Hold on.
- I can't.
No.
- Give you a hand.
You did your best.
- Let's go.
- Shoshanna.
- Rogo come in, do you read?
Repeat, do you read?
- Careful, Dylan.
We're looking for a beer keg.
I see it, over there.
Yeah, got it.
- We're gonna have to figure
out a way to detonate this.
- What are you looking for?
- This.
Mercer.
- About time.
We're in position, what's your eta?
- Gonna need some info from your demo man.
Found the bomb, need advice on placement.
- What's the explosive?
- It's a beer keg.
There's an infrared port at the bottom.
- Standby.
- Judging from the housing,
probably a directional
charge infrared receiver.
- Leads are right behind the IR port,
he could crack it if
he gave it some juice.
- Okay, Rogo, you'll find the lead wires
just behind the infrared receiver,
see if you can send a spark through it.
- Copy that.
Hold this.
We're gonna need some more wire.
- I could do this.
- No, it's what I signed on for, not you.
The best thing you can do now is pray.
- And, Rogo, guessing from the container,
you're dealing with a directional charge.
Now if that's the case,
you'll wanna position the end
with the lead wires toward the hull.
Wedge it in with something.
Cover back about 20 feet,
that should be safe enough.
- Copy that.
Okay, take cover.
Soon as it's clear, I want you
all to jump out of this hole
and start swimmin' like hell.
Right, take cover.
Back up.
Come on, back up here.
Come on, get down, find a spot.
- What the hell are you doin'?
- I've made up my mind.
I'm gonna do this.
- Gimme that, I don't have time for this.
- Listen to me for a second.
You are a married man.
- So what?
- You need to go back home to her.
No one's waiting for me.
- You keep your eyes shut
and your head down.
- Alright.
Brace yourself.
- Dear god,
if you would consider
intervening in human affairs
one more time,
this
moment
will be perfect.
- Everyone out of the ship now.
The Poseidon is going down,
we have minutes to go.
Get off the boat now.
Make your way to the edge.
Everybody move quickly to the edge.
Move, move, move.
Come on, you can do it.
You have to jump now.
- Come on, we can do it,
okay?
- This one's yours, start pickin' 'em up.
Gimme some juice.
Move forwards, move forwards.
Gimme your hand here now.
Pull them in, pull them in.
Everybody get
wrapped up in blankets.
We'll get back to the ship,
get you in dry clothes.
Treat you all for hypothermia.
Grab my hand.
- Hey.
Come on, Bishop.
Let's get off this boat.
- You ready?
- Yeah.
Take him first, he's hurt.
Command center, we
have rescued nine survivors.
Repeat, nine survivors.
Send support and medical groups asap.
- How do you celebrate saving nine people
when thousands have died?
- It's a miracle that anyone made it.
- Hard to see any of this as a miracle.
A bloody mess, is what it is.
- Look.
