Adam
We’re taking on water.
Adam
You need to get up right now, babe.
Waves slosh against the side of their tiny sailboat.
She steps into nearly a foot of water.
Marnie
Oh my god. What happened?
Adam
Something cracked the deck.
Marnie
Okay. We need to patch it.
They wade into the galley kitchen.
Water gushes in from a hole in the ceiling.
Marnie
You dump some of this out.
Lightning flashes through the windows.
They splash through the water.
Adam grabs a bucket and pops open a window.
Marnie
We’re gonna be okay.
Marnie pulls out a patch kit and goes to work on the hole.
Suddenly, a strong wave crashes against their boat.
Pots and pans fly everywhere.
Marnie is slammed against the side.
Water dumps in from the ceiling.
Marnie, now totally soaked, gets up.
The water is nearly up to their knees now.
Adam
I’m not making a difference over here.
Marnie
We need to call for help.
Marnie drops the patch kit into the water and rushes toward the radio.
Marnie
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Marnie
This is the Windchaser.
Marnie
We’re taking on water and need immediate assistance.
Adam wades over to Marnie and grips her hand.
They watch the violent, roaring ocean outside their window.
Marnie squeezes Adam’s hand.
Marnie
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Marnie
This is the Windchaser!
Suddenly, a monstrous wave rolls the boat upside down.
The force plunges it below the surface.
Marnie and Adam are submerged and sinking fast.
They frantically seek a way out.
Adam keeps jabbing a sharpened stick into the water.
Marnie
You have to aim above the fish.
Marnie
The light refracts in the water.
Adam
You’ve said that for days now.
They’re alone on a tiny island.
There’s ocean as far as the eye can see.
Marnie
I’m just trying to help.
Adam
Well, you haven’t caught anything either!
Marnie jabs her stick into the water, too.
Adam
And we’re here because of you anyway.
Adam
Don’t tell me you haven’t thought about that.
Marnie
No, Adam. I haven’t.
Marnie
I’ve been thinking about how to catch a fish.
Adam
The whole “let’s go live on a sailboat for a year” thing was your idea.
Adam
I just wanted a normal honeymoon.
Marnie
Are you seriously blaming me for this?
Adam
It was your dream, Marnie.
Marnie
You seemed pretty happy to go along with it.
Adam
For the first 6 months.
Adam
Sorry if I’m not handling starvation as well as you are.
They scan the water in silence.
Marnie plunges her stick yet again.
Marnie
Oh my god! Oh my god!
Adam
You got one? No way!
Marnie pulls her spear up out of the water.
A large fish writhes on the end of it.
Marnie
I can’t believe it!
They burst into laughter.
Adam kisses Marnie on the cheek.
They turn to walk back to shore.
But before they start off, the fish wriggles off the stick.
It’s plops back into the water.
Adam and Marnie give chase.
In their desperation, both stumble into the water.
Leaving only a trail of fading blood behind.
Their hope fades along with it.
A campfire crackles in the moonlight.
Adam, now severely thin, breathes deep over a sleeping Marnie.
He picks up a large stone and stares at Marnie.
He lifts the stone over his head, ready to slam it down on her.
Marnie wakes up at the sound of his words.
Marnie
What are you doing?
He revs up to swing the stone.
But Marnie kicks him off!
He tumbles through the fire, sending embers flaring.
He hurls the stone at her but misses.
Marnie
Adam, what’s wrong with you?
Behind him, the scattered embers ignite a tree.
Marnie
Please. Don’t do this.
She can see the madness in his eyes.
Marnie takes off and he races after her.
Adam
You won’t feel a thing!
She weaves between rocks and trees.
Marnie
Adam, you don’t know what you’re doing!
She trips on a root and he gains on her.
Adam
I need to eat, Marnie.
Adam
I waited as long as I could!
He grabs at her feet, but she gets up just in the nick of time.
Marnie races up a hill and he follows.
Marnie reaches the top of the hill and finds a sharp cliff edge.
Adam
Do you still love me?
Marnie
Adam, get away from me.
Adam
I can’t do that, Marnie.
By now, the embers have turned into flames.
They are engulfing the entire island.
Smoke billows into the night sky.
Adam
Would you close your eyes?
Marnie
Adam, stop right now!
He steps closer, licking his lips.
Marnie leaps to his side.
He grabs her arm and hurls her to the ground.
Marnie
Please don’t do this!
Adam grips her throat tight.
Marnie fights back, but he’s almost twice her size.
Marnie’s eyes bulge as she wails on him.
Adam
Go to sleep, Marnie.
Suddenly, a metallic sound can be heard in the distance.
Adam looks up to see the searchlights of a helicopter coming toward them.
He lets go of Marnie’s neck and gets up.
Adam
Oh my god, it’s coming for us!
Adam looks around at the roaring fire on the island.
A mile-high plume of smoke shoots into the sky.
Adam
We’re gonna be okay.
At that moment, Marnie smashes a stone against Adam’s head.
He crumbles to the ground, lifeless.
Blood trickles from his skull.
Marnie
We’re not anything.
