Narration: There's a legend of a man who lives beneath the sea.
He is a fisher of men the last hope of all those who have been left
behind. Many survivors claim to have felt his gripping hands
beneath them pushing them up to the surface whispering strength
until help could arrive.
But this, of course, is only a legend.
Sherilyn: Help! Over here!
Man: Sherilyn! Help!
Ben: Ma'am, I'm a Coast Guard rescue swimmer. I'm here to help
you. Sir, stay with your flotation. I'll be back for you.
Man: Don't leave me!
Just stay there.
Man: Don't you leave me!
Carl: Basket is outside the cabin door and going down.
Pilot: Roger. Copy you.
Carl: Forward and right 30. Forward and right 15.
Pilot: Right 15.
Carl: Basket is in the water. Swimmer and survivor are at the
basket.
Ben: Put your head in first.
Man: I gotta get out!
Carl: Easy, forward.
Ben: Let go! Let go. Let go. You're drowning her!
Carl: Swimmer just popped him in the face. Okay, he's putting the
man in the basket. The man is in the basket. We're taking the load.
Whoa, big wave.
Carl: Get out! Get out! What's wrong with you? Sit there and shut
up.
Carl: Move her in tight. Prepare to take the load. I have the ready-
for-pickup signal. Swimmer is approaching cabin door. Survivor
looks unconscious. Swimmer inside the cabin door. Cabin door
closing.
Man: I think you just broke my nose.
Carl: And you may have killed your wife, sir.
Pilot: Twenty minutes to Kodiak.
Carl: Roger. He's giving her CPR.
Pilot: Comstate Kodiak, this is Coast Guard 6096. We have two
hypothermic survivors onboard. We'll be there in 20 minutes.
Requesting to have an ambulance on-scene when we land.
Carl: Whoa, there we go.
Pilot: Got her?
Carl: Got her!
Pilot: Attaway, baby.
Ben: There's dead then there's dead.
Carl: I swear, you get better with age.
Lieutenant: Had to hit him, huh?
Ben: Yeah.
Sherilyn: You are not. You stay over there! You stay over there!
Ben: Seems like it's always the big ones that crack. Lieutenant.
Lieutenant: Crew said that she went under. They thought you'd lost
her.
