Hiya

Hi

They want me

Tomorrow at Clipper Quay

That's great

Gives you a month without me getting in the way

- of all this stuff - Mm-hmm Mm-hmm Yeah

I'll probably have the whole place framed up

by the time you're back

Good I want video updates

I want reports I want to hear all about it

Yeah You'll get them

Daily

Don't worry I'll be fine

I know

Just remember, it's, uh

it's like going into space but it's underwater

What's hilarious is you think I find that comforting

Humans shouldn't be at the bottom of the North Sea

I know I know

But it is pretty cool

It's a good thing you're cute

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm

- Cute? - Mm-hmm

Your cute, cool diver boyfriend?

Husband? Fiancé?

Uh, Chris Lemons, one of the divers

- Chris Lemons? - Yeah

- Hey - Hey

- You all right, guys? - You all right, mate?

How's it going?

- Oh, morning, Craig - Chris

I'm just gonna find out about the job

- I'll tell you later - All right

Duncan

Hello, handsome

What you got for me?

Well, I hear we got a new captain

Oh, yeah? Let's hope this one doesn't cancel Christmas, eh?

Yeah, right?

- Nice to see you - How's the house coming?

- You finish my room? - Yeah, it's going good

I think we're gonna paint it pink

Is that okay?

Or green or purple or

Pink is actually that's a beautiful color

You know, a lot of people think it's feminine

Where you going?

Just taking two bottles of hot sauce

Okay

Hey, Stu

Seen how much helium they're loading on board?

Hmm It's gonna be a deep one

Deeper the better, I suppose

That's 200 feet

- Hey - Huh?

- Morning, Chris - Made the cut

Yep Easy there

You all right, lads?

- How's it going? - Hi, Chris Good to see you

So you heard who's on board?

Who's that?

The Vulcan, diver one himself

Oh, yeah?

I was starting to think he was just a myth

Well, should be a fun sat if you're on his team

Excited to get in there

Yeah, I bet

Okay

You lot are gonna be living in our glamorous tin cans

for the next 28 days,

where you'll be pressurized down to 300 feet

You're gonna be my hands on the seabed

replacing a section of pipeline

Can't have the gas flow interrupted,

or people's homes will go cold this winter

Once the job's done, you'll have four days decompression

when your hands can do whatever they want

Okay Team C: Nick, Alex and Paul

Team B is Stu, Kirk and Brad

Team A is Duncan, with Chris

and that bundle of joy there

Right, I'm starting blowdown before departure

Doors close in ten minutes, so get cracking

David, it's Chris Nice to meet you

Just Dave

Dave Sorry

Uh, looking forward to doing sat with you

Yep See you in there

Yeah, see you in there

- See you in there, Duncs - Yeah

Yeah I see you made Chris feel nice and welcome

How is the kid, anyway?

Solid

He, uh, worked as a deckhand

for three years before he got the nod,

but then he did his first five dives with me,

and as we both know, I am the finest sat daddy around

Good

"Sat daddy"? Really?

That sounds strange coming out of your mouth

As an old man, I find I'm a bottom-bunk guy,

you know, just in case Mother Nature calls

Your, uh your wife?

Uh, no Fiancée

Word of advice: Once that door closes,

everything outside is just a distraction

Keep your focus where it needs to be, yeah?

Hey Don't worry about him

He's a grizzly when he's here, but, you know,

once he gets home, he's a real softie

He's just daddy to his two little girls

Christ, you got enough chocolate there?

Just enough for one a day

Divers, are we good to lock the doors?

Team A standing by

Team B standing by

Team C standing by

Doors closing now

Doors closed Stairs away

964% helium 36% oxygen

Gas ratios confirmed

I'm turning on the taps, boys

Let's go for a ride

I'll never get used to this

What?

Here we find ourselves

at the bottom of the world

You are now able to operate

at 300 feet below sea level,

where it will be pitch black and bloody cold

And remember, should you step outside the chamber

prior to decompression,

the gas now saturating every cell in your body

will expand so rapidly

your vital organs will quite literally explode

He says that every time

How you feeling, Duncan?

Aces, amigo

Aces

Chris, Dave, you okay?

All right, I'm gonna get some rest

I'll see you when we come on station

Grub's up

For God's sake, show some modesty

Cover yourself

Back in the day, though, you know,

when I was starting out, you only needed two things:

little common sense and a good bottle of Scotch

Here we go

It really was the Wild West

Thank God it's not like that anymore

Yeah

I guess I'm the last of my kind

Kind of a relic

Which explains why they're putting me out to pasture

What are you talking about?

Well, the company, in its infinite wisdom,

has decided 20 years is enough for me

and, uh, you know, this will be my last rotation

Really? Wh-Why didn't you say something?

Because I don't want everybody making a fuss, you know,

before going in

You okay? Is everything all right?

Yeah You kidding?

It'll be great to have some free time

You know, I'll take up golf

But I did think that I had maybe ten more years left

Or more

If it's any consolation,

there's a high possibility that all of our jobs

will have been automated in ten years, so

Oh, yeah, that does console me, Dave Thank you

You're welcome

Well, I tried

All right I'm going to bed

-Night -Nighty night

So this is our last sat together, then

Yeah I can't believe it, either

Why don't you pull a Craig,

get in the hot seat, call the shots?

What?

No

I-I am not management material

And I don't think I could handle

watching you guys have all the fun

Yeah, fair enough

Hey Look

You are a great diver

You don't need me around anymore

Right, so the church holds 80 people

and the village hall next door 150

So, as long as we un-invite half my cousins,

we should be fine

What else?

Well, I'm looking really cute today

Do you miss me?

Nah

You're having more fun

helping Duncan with his crosswords

Bye

~Marine Control, this is$ ~dive support vessel$Tharos

east of Aberdeen at Huntington Oil Field

Thank you very much, ~Tharos$

We're gonna be right in the middle

of this storm system all night

What do you think?

Well, it's borderline, Cap, but this is the North Sea

Dynamic positioning status?

Coming over dive site, turning into swell

Directional thrusters holding our position

~next to the manifold$

Locked on

Dynamic positioning system online

Computers have it from here

Prepare for diving operations

All right

Team A up first

Rise and shine, boys

This is your one hour's notice

- Dave? -Hmm?

You want to pop down here for a five-minute cuddle?

I'm, uh

I'm good, Duncan Thank you

All right Thanks for pondering

Thank you, sir

You're welcome

All right, Team A entering wet pot

for final pressing in

What about your tools?

Got your knife, compass,

- your flares? -Yeah

What about you, Dave?

Need a hand?

Didn't think so All right

See you guys up top

Right Thanks

Dive Control, first one in the bell

You good?

- Yeah - Hey

We're on the job now, okay?

Once we're down there, it's just the two of us

- Follow my lead - Mm-hmm

Up you come, Dave

Second man in the bell

Dive Control, that's three in the bell

All right, copy that

That's 200 feet

And at depth

Bell, go for your door

Copy that, Dive Control

Wow That is some swell

That-that's got to be 20-foot seas up there

Bell, it pains me, but that's what I've got up here, too

What can I say, boys? Still got it

Every bloody time

Okay, come on Let's go

Turning on hot water feed

Coming to temperature now

It's like a bath

You want me falling asleep on the job?

It's two degrees above freezing down there

But I forgot how you like to suffer

Yeah, that's good

Going in

The hat

Mains gas supply on

And connected

Lowering hat

Hand on the hat

Grip the hat lower

Okay It's all yours

-Good? -Hat's on

Comms check Comms check

Comms clear

Bellman to Dive Control How's your feed?

Yes, coming through

Uh, Duncan, this is gonna be a long shift

I just want to confirm your adult diaper is on

That's good material

You know, you and I are the same age

And by the way, I'm a professional

I haven't had an irregular bowel movement since '95

Okay Let's do it

Bailouts coming down

-All right -Yep

Okay

Diver good?

Good

That's diver one in the water at 300 feet

Bell, turn on lights for diver one

Working

In you go

Diver one dropping off bell

Okay Gas flow's good

Umbilical's connected

You're locked in

Comms check Comms check

Loud and clear

Are you good to go?

I'll see you in six hours

Okay Stay safe, brother

Diver two in the water at 305 feet

Slow your breathing down a little for me, okay?

Copy

Diver two dropping off bell

Touchdown, diver two

Bell, bearing to the job?

Bell, bearing to the job?

Diver two is zero nine zero degrees

It's this way

Cap, both divers are on-site

Lower the power cable

Copy that

Approaching seabed

Duncan, notify the divers, would you?

Copy

Divers, power cable approaching seabed

Copy that, bell

I have the connector

Moving toward manifold now

Bell, manifold has power

Diver one, prep pipes for installation

-Copy that -Diver two,

head for well three to begin equalization

Copy that Entering the manifold

Bell, all looking good from up here

How's it looking, diver two?

There's, uh, rust on the stanchions

There's growth everywhere

Visibility's not great

Oh, I need to cut down on my desserts

We just lost our hydroacoustics

Are we still in position?

Troubleshooting now

Bell, I've got a reading of, uh,

over a thousand psi on wellhead three

That's way too high

All right Let me try and work my magic

Warning Warning

Warning

Cap, the thrusters have gone offline

- How many? - All of them

I'm getting the same here, Cap

Chris? The ship's moving

Get out of there now

What? Dave, can you repeat?

The ship is moving

Get out of the manifold right now

Copy that

Warning Warning

Dynamic positioning system

I'm losing everything here

- Where's our power? -Dead in the water

Cap, we're drifting out of control

Abort Abort

We have a runoff

Get the divers as much umbilical as possible, Duncan

Chris, our umbilicals are over the manifold

We've got to use them to climb to the top

Chris, you've got to really move

Yeah Yeah, I'm coming I'm coming

Divers, where are you?

Diver one on top of the manifold

Bell, I-I don't have eyes on you

Diver two also on top

My umbilical's snagged

The wind's spinning us around

Power cable's about to give

Dive Control, there's no umbilical left in the bell

That's everything I've got

The ship's not drifting

That's why Look, it's being pulled tight

Chris has become our anchor

That's never gonna hold It'll snap

Bell, I need slack on diver one

There is no more slack

I can't get to you

My gas supply

I can't breathe

Chris, switch to your bailout

Hey, Chris On me

Switch to your bailout

Good

Good

Now take slow, deep breaths

Otherwise, you'll burn through your backup gas

Understand?

Dive Control?

Diver two is on bailouts

How much gas does he have left?

Ten minutes

What happens now?

Your umbilical, it's gonna snap

You'll get pulled off the structure

Now, I will come back for you,

but you have to do something for me, okay?

You have to get yourself back to the top of the manifold

I can't rescue you if I can't find you

Understand?

J-Just make sure I'm

Chris, are you there? Do you copy?

Chris?

Chris, are you there?

Bell? Bell, do you copy?

Coming back to you now

No eyes or ears on divers or bell

Condition unknown

ROV feed is back online

Uh, can you get closer?

Dave has made it back to the bell

Duncan, if you can hear me,

I'm back on the stage

What happened?

His umbilical snapped

He's gone

There's no news on Chris

But we're keeping the bell down

for when we get back control of the ship

We'll update you as and when

Cap?

Why don't we drop anchor, stop us drifting any further?

We don't have control of the ship

There are acres of oil pipeline down there

The anchor could snag any one of them and rupture it

There's far more seabed than there is pipeline

If we don't drop it now, there's no telling

how far we'll end up from Chris

I can't risk an environmental disaster

We'll have to find another way

Duncan

Dave?

Duncan, I can't see you

Duncan, I don't know where I am

Mani man-manifold Manifold

Okay

Okay, 90 degrees

90 degrees

Okay Okay

Shit

Find the manifold

Find the manifold

Manifold

Manifold

Bridge?

We've run the diagnostics

There's no fault with the thrusters

Are you sure?

One hundred percent

We've run them twice

If the thrusters are still working,

we can take the computers offline

and control her manually

Cap, this system is designed to be used only in port,

never in conditions anything like this

I understand

If we make a mistake, we put the entire ship at risk

Okay, but if we keep drifting, there's no way of telling

how far we'll get from diver number two

From Chris

And I can't do this without you

Listen up

Until the dynamic positioning is back online,

the first officer and myself will

take control of the ship manually

and stop us from drifting any further

DPO, put her in manual

Thrusters in manual

Port, one four zero degrees at 30%

Stern 40

-Stern 40 -Now

Moving off drift line

Distance to dive site is 630 feet and increasing

Where is it? Where is it?

Where is it?

Oh, yes Yes

You beauty

Okay

Okay

Okay Got to climb

I've got to climb

~Chris$

~I've gone down$ ~that rabbit hole again$

Got myself into a right state

~I know you say$ ~that you're always safe$

~in your tin can$

but once you step outside

it's like you're stealing every second

~And I know it's extraordinary$

but what we have is extraordinary, too

~I'm sorry$

I don't know what I'm saying

It's just, um

Come home

~Please come home$

It's a body recovery now

No, it's not

Stern 40%

Distance to dive site:

570 feet

ROV, you in range?

On the outer limit now

They why aren't you finding my diver?

Copy that

Come on, come on, come on

Incoming swell

Just keep her steady

Where are we at with dynamic positioning?

The only thing left is a hard reset

It's only ever done when we're in for maintenance

Every part is started up in sequence

It takes hours

Well, you'd better find a work-around, then, hadn't you?

Starboard, zero nine zero degrees at 30%

Thirty percent

Closing

Can anyone see anything?

Where the hell is he?

What about up top?

Oh, my God

He's still alive

His eyes are closed

All four limbs appear intact

No sign of breathing

Involuntary spasms are from

oxygen starvation to the brain

Come on, where is it?

Got you

Bridge?

I think I've found that work-around

Tell me

Every part of the dynamic positioning

is routed through a start-up CPU,

which is why it takes so long to boot up,

so I'm just gonna physically rewire it

and bypass the whole damn thing

Are you sure you can patch it back correctly?

You'll have to get the sequencing exactly right

I can do it

DPO, go ahead Do it

Why don't you use the ROV to pick up Chris

and fly him back to the bell?

It's rated to pick up humans

You can grab the D ring on his harness

with the pincers from the ROV

Uh, the ROVs are only ever used for body recoveries

Okay? The pincers are far too dangerous

to be used on anything alive

I can't see any other options

Can you?

Look, Chris is alive right now, okay, and

and I don't want anything I do to change that

But these lads are my responsibility

I'm going to take the controls

Shit

Okay, okay Ease up on the front propellers

and let the rears do all the work, okay?

Copy

Got him

Okay, good

Raising level now

Come on

He-he must be caught on something

Hey, check the bottom camera

Why the hell is that carabiner clipped on?

So he won't get washed away by the tide

when he's unconscious

Smart lad

Setting her down facing Chris

~Chris and I first met$

~on a rescue dive op$

~A lobster boat went down$ ~off the Scottish coast$

~Took us a day to find the wreck$

~And taking turns,$ ~we were down there for hours$

~Hours$

~We couldn't find the last body$

~Guess the current$ ~must have carried it away$

~Eventually, it was decided that$

it wasn't worth the money to continue looking

for just a body

So they gave his wife a shoebox

full of stuff they'd cleaned out from his locker

Imagine

a box of useless shit, souvenirs

I'm not giving Morag a shoebox

You won't

We're not gonna give up on him

Good

Five, six, seven, eight

One eleven, two eleven,

three eleven, four eleven, five eleven

Oh, no, no

Yes

The DPS is back online

Well done

Take us back to the manifold

Yes, Cap

Locked on and engaged

Let's go get Chris

Auto selected

Oh

Oh, finally

Bell, you copy?

Yeah, yeah

We copy, Dive Control

How you guys doing?

We're fine What about Chris?

We found him He's on top of the manifold

He's unresponsive, but we are heading back as fast as we can

Okay, speed up

160 feet to manifold

- Gas is good -Hey

I'm not losing two divers today

Copy that

You're good to go

That's diver one in the water, ready and waiting

Coming over dive site

Got eyes on Chris

Get me closer

Cap, we got to push our minimums

We need to get Dave lower

Do it

Reducing to 20 feet

Settling Settling

Locked on, Cap

Diver one is clear to go

I got him

Bell, I'm climbing back to you now

He's heavy

Shit, we lost minimums

Bell, brace for impact

Duncan?

Duncan?

I'm okay Wh-What about Dave and Chris?

Duncan, are you there?

I'm with you, buddy I'm with you

Dave, you're pushing too hard

Go with the swell

Climb when the bell's coming down

and hold tight when it's going up

Copy

Duncan, this isn't working

You can do this, buddy

One last push

Here he comes

Coming now

Wait for it

Now Now

Now

Duncan, I'm on the stage

Ready for the winch

Chris

You're all right

You're safe

You're in the bell

Okay, you're okay, buddy

You're okay

Oh, come on

Come on

Okay, buddy

You're all right

You're good You're safe You're in the bell

Can you hear me, Chris? It's Duncan

Is he breathing?

Yeah He is

Come on, let's get you out of there

Bell, this connection's spotty

What's Chris's status?

Chris is breathing

But unresponsive

Oh, no

Half an hour with no oxygen to the brain

It's Duncan Can you hear me?

Hey, buddy

Hey

You're back in the bell

You're okay

Come on, buddy

Can you hear me?

Chris

It's Dave

We got you

If you can hear me, move your eyes

Squeeze my hand

Give me something

We're too late

No matter what, you got him back

We did

Dave

You okay?

Yeah Yeah, we're fine, Chris

- How are you? -Yeah, we're okay

Duncan, what's going on down there?

Bridge, Chris is responsive and he's talking

Yes

What's happened?

Well

we made out, but I'll tell you about that later

Great job, Cap'n

You, too You, too

Let's get 'em home

Aye, Cap

Gave us a wee fright there, Duncs

I think I might have actually shit myself

Right, soon as the hatch is closed, let me know

I'm bringing you up

Sorry to wake you

Oh, it's all right I wasn't asleep

Feeling all right?

All things considered

Right, just breathe normally

I screwed up, huh?

Just bad luck, really

Did your job, though

You got to the top of the manifold

Just following orders

How long was I lost for?

About 40 minutes

I should be dead

Yeah

Pulse is strong

You know, it's

it's okay, though, really

Yeah, I know you're okay

No, I mean, um

just, uh

I felt sad for Morag

Felt like I'd let her down

I promised her it would be okay, and then

then that happens

And I just went numb

It was

peaceful

Just like drifting off to sleep

It's really not that bad

Um, I'll let you rest

Thank you

Morag Martin speaking

That was your best headmistress voice

Well, that wasn't a voice I was expecting to hear

- for a few weeks, so - Yeah

Our rotation has been cut short, so, um

What happened?

There was a problem with the ship, so

I'll be back in Aberdeen the day after tomorrow

I'll come and pick you up, then

No, no No, you don't have to do that

I'll make my own way back

I love you

I love you

So, even after all this, you're still gonna miss it?

Every damn day

Why don't you speak to management about it?

Get you back on rotation

Figure it out

Good idea Um

forgot my pillow

- All right Duncan - Hey

- Love you, brother - Love you, too, Duncs

Yeah

Hey, do you need a hand down the gangway?

No, I'm all right

Take care, Duncan

You, too

How you feeling, Duncs?

I'm just not ready for the scrap heap yet

You're a good man, Duncan

Hiya

Hi

You okay?

Yeah, there was an accident

Um

What happened?

A, uh a diver got stranded on the seabed

and had to be rescued

Oh, God

Are they okay?

It was touch and go there for a bit, but

but they're okay now

It was you, wasn't it?

Oh, Chris

Hey Hey, come here

I was always gonna come back to you

I love you, Chris

I love you, too
