Cyclone

Now ladies and gentlemen, there's an island nearby

with a lighthouse and a beautiful coral reef.

I'm going to take you there

so you can see the beautiful fish.

Scram you little rat, or I will use you for bait.

I convinced Daniel about this tour,

even though I'm more than six months pregnant.

You're very daring, Monica.

I wouldn't have done it.

I didn't want to waste my husband's one yearly vacation.

Don't you have any pains?

It's just a little annoying

but I don't pay any attention to it.

We're going to have our third child. And you?

When are you and Mickey going to have one?

Mickey wants to finish school first, then we'll see he says.

You're both very young.

There's plenty of time for it.

Captain Pedraza.

The meteorological office just sent this urgent notice.

Padas, we're going to have bad weather.

There's a cyclone just 200 miles from here.

What?

At this time of the year?

It looks beautiful.

Well, in a few hours, it won't be.

Cyclone is moving at a velocity

of 29 to 38 miles per hour now,

but it's going to increase.

As long as it doesn't change course,

we'll only get the tail.

Lieutenant, take the necessary precautions

not to allow any fishing boat or other vessel

to leave port and order those who are in open sea,

to return to port immediately.

Right away, captain.

You, Padas, take charge of alerting the town.

Stay in contact with the meteorological office

in case the cyclone changes course.

Very well, captain.

Oh, thank you, father.

You're so kind to a woman who's traveling alone.

Why do you call your little dog Christmas?

She was born the same time as Jesus,

midnight on Christmas Eve.

Isn't that remarkable?

I got it.

You see?

You didn't believe it, huh?

After three hours, it's something.

It's meat is no good.

You can't eat that.

That's the island I mentioned.

We'll anchor there, go fishing and take some photographs.

Your attention please, ladies and gentlemen.

This is captain Nelson Dawson speaking.

Right now we are flying above

the Caribbean at an altitude of 15,000 feet.

Our speed is 180 knots, our ETA 20 minutes.

I hope you've enjoyed this trip

on behalf of Carl Burr and our crew,

I want to thank you for flying with us.

Coffee? Coffee? Coffee?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Are there a lot of sharks there, Linda?

Don't worry Tiersa, they don't know how to fly.

Coffee?

You folks have made a long trip.

I hope that you're enjoying it.

Someday I'd like to do the same.

Oh yes, miss, you'd like Ibiza Bay.

It's a peaceful city.

My savings would just let me take a short tour.

Thanks.

Coffee?

No, thanks.

When I finish studying, I'm going to study the sea.

Not cosmography?

I've decided I don't like the sky.

Then what?

The sea, the depths of the sea.

Its thousands of inhabitants,

so many beautiful things in the sea.

I'm going to be an oceanographer.

You're joking, you don't even know how to swim.

Your company is very appreciated in port, Mr. Taylor.

The largest branch of Taylor Lobster

is right in this port.

I give work to over half the population.

That's why it's important I get in there today.

Some problem?

We business men have only one problem,

unions and other workers wanna form a cooperative.

I gotta get in there and convince them to forget about it.

Don't you think they have a right to do it?

Rights?

I give them more than their rights.

Loans at low interest rates,

good price for the lobsters they bring me.

Schools for their kids, financing for

their fishing boats and houses.

What else could they want?

I don't know.

I am a doctor, not a Fisherman's leader.

That bastard, Brown.

He had to send us off on this special flight today.

And it's my day off.

And I had a date with a stewardess you wouldn't believe.

Don't complain, and you need some sun.

Oh.

And in one hour we'll be with two chicks

having a ball on the beach with them.

Pichorras, they told us by radio that there is a cyclone.

That's better so we can finish filling up.

And if we're caught up by the rough weather?

Just wait, Carmelo.

In a little while, we're going to go back like them.

Gentlemen, the 'clone has changed her course suddenly.

She's heading towards us with winds

more than 105 miles an hour.

We're going to have some problems.

Flight 125, return to base immediately,

dangerous atmospheric conditions here.

Permission to land denied.

The airport will remain closed until further notice.

Over.

Roger.

We're heading back to our departure point.

Over and out.

We're going to be bumping around in a few minutes.

I'll advise the passengers, take over.

Your attention, please.

Due to bad weather conditions, the airport has been closed

and we're forced to turn back.

Fasten seat belts, refrain from smoking,

and please obey the stewardesses instructions.

Thank you.

Fasten your seatbelt.

Refrain from smoking.

Fasten your seatbelt.

Please, your seat belts.

Miss, miss, I want to speak to the captain immediately.

Please remain calm Mr. Taylor, fasten your seatbelt.

I must speak with him,

I have paid for this special flight.

I want to make sure that we reach our destination.

You heard the captain, sir, that is not possible now.

We're in the middle of a storm,

the airport is closed and we can't land.

I've been flying for many years,

this little turbulence is not enough

to stop us from landing.

Hey, can't we reach port?

No, it's impossible to cross the channel now.

We're safe here.

The storm is stronger on the other side.

We'll wait here till it calms down.

Why don't you turn off the motor? We'll run out of gas!

The anchor's too small for this boat.

The motor's helping to hold us back

so we won't crash into the rocks.

Andrés, look.

They're heading back.

Means it's gonna get rough.

Let's go to the island, we've taken shelter there before.

The cyclone's already got us.

We've been through worse than this,

help the rest of us bail water.

Hey Pichorras, we can't take it anymore.

We gotta get the rope down, it's over.

You bastard!

Don't you dare break that trip.

No one's gonna die, nobody get scared.

We're gonna reach the island, we're all gonna help.

Damn engine.

It's not going to be easy in this storm

with only one working.

We're losing altitude.

Hey Pichorras, we've got a leak, we're sinking.

Damn it, Valie, try to stop it!

It's impossible, it's too big.

Don't be afraid, dear, I'll be close to you.

What are you doing? Abandon ship, we're sinking!

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Flight 125. We're losing altitude.

Mayday, mayday, mayday.

Stay together, follow me.

Get away from the plane.

Come this way.

Come on.

Come on.

Lieutenant, excuse me.

They told me you could help me.

I've been looking for you desperately all day in the port.

Well, what can I do for you?

I represent an international tourist agency.

I have 12 people lost at sea since this morning.

I never expected this cyclone to arrive.

We didn't either, it surprised us all.
