WEBVTT

00:00:30.833 --> 00:00:32.000
Hurry! Hurry!

00:00:36.708 --> 00:00:38.541
- Let's go!
- Yes, sir!

00:00:39.208 --> 00:00:40.958
- Move it!
- Yes, sir!

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:47.208
It is with deep sadness
that after the events of yesterday,

00:01:47.291 --> 00:01:50.750
I must report, just after midnight,

00:01:50.833 --> 00:01:53.875
a retired soldier
and former Thai Navy SEAL,

00:01:54.416 --> 00:01:56.958
Petty Officer First Class Saman Gunan,

00:01:57.916 --> 00:02:01.666
passed away during the rescue mission
to save the boys from the cave.

00:02:02.875 --> 00:02:06.458
He was positioning
oxygen tanks inside of the cave.

00:02:07.458 --> 00:02:12.000
But did not have enough of his own
to complete the journey and leave safely.

00:02:15.708 --> 00:02:19.250
"Ja Sam,"
as he was known by his family and friends,

00:02:20.791 --> 00:02:25.750
volunteered to help here at Tham Luang,
as so many brave souls such as his have.

00:02:26.416 --> 00:02:29.750
He was a hero to all of us here
until his dying breath.

00:02:31.416 --> 00:02:33.958
There have been
many questions asked this morning

00:02:34.750 --> 00:02:38.083
about what his death means
for the future of this operation

00:02:38.166 --> 00:02:39.166
and the boys.

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.000
I can assure you, we will not stop.

00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:48.666
We are not going to give up.
We will keep going.

00:02:50.458 --> 00:02:52.000
We will continue the mission.

00:02:54.666 --> 00:02:57.291
We will not let his sacrifice go to waste.

00:02:57.791 --> 00:02:59.875
His sacrifice gives us courage.

00:03:03.125 --> 00:03:05.750
Are you still thinking of having
the kids dive on their own?

00:03:07.833 --> 00:03:09.458
How about safety?

00:03:15.458 --> 00:03:18.500
Safety for the Wild Boars and the rescuers

00:03:18.583 --> 00:03:20.708
has always been a priority.

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:24.041
Which is why we are discussing everything

00:03:24.166 --> 00:03:25.833
with the interior minister,

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:28.291
who is due to arrive shortly.

00:03:28.375 --> 00:03:30.291
Next question.

00:03:46.666 --> 00:03:49.125
When I saw
that soldier being carried out,

00:03:49.916 --> 00:03:51.208
it broke my heart.

00:03:53.291 --> 00:03:55.125
What his family must feel.

00:03:55.708 --> 00:03:59.458
How he died.
It must be terrible.

00:04:03.208 --> 00:04:05.291
Here. Drink this. You'll feel better.

00:04:08.625 --> 00:04:12.125
I thought it would be over
since he has died.

00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:15.583
But they're still going to help our boys.

00:04:25.333 --> 00:04:27.666
Do you think your mom is mad, Tle?

00:04:28.375 --> 00:04:30.750
Oh yeah. That's an understatement.

00:04:31.333 --> 00:04:35.375
I'll never be allowed
to leave the house ever again.

00:04:52.291 --> 00:04:54.208
Could you excuse us? We need the room.

00:05:02.583 --> 00:05:03.583
What is this?

00:05:04.750 --> 00:05:08.833
We're helping you get through this
without any further disasters, all right?

00:05:09.833 --> 00:05:12.958
There is a lot more at stake here, Nong.

00:05:13.875 --> 00:05:15.916
Governor. Please, have a seat.

00:05:18.083 --> 00:05:19.083
- Hello.
- Hello.

00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:20.500
Any news?

00:05:21.416 --> 00:05:23.875
The British dive experts
are checking the route

00:05:23.958 --> 00:05:27.625
for any new obstructions
that may have caused last night's tragedy.

00:05:28.208 --> 00:05:29.958
Apparently, it is not uncommon

00:05:30.041 --> 00:05:33.625
for rocks and sand to shift
once a cave begins to flood.

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.458
Is that how he died?

00:05:36.541 --> 00:05:39.291
We may never know
with certainty what happened in there.

00:05:39.833 --> 00:05:43.500
But conditions are more treacherous
than any of us anticipated.

00:05:43.583 --> 00:05:46.416
- And they're only going to get worse.
- Agreed.

00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:49.458
Once the British
have given us the all-clear to go back in,

00:05:49.541 --> 00:05:51.416
we're going to continue the mission.

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:54.250
You can't seriously think
you should continue this mission?

00:05:55.916 --> 00:05:59.125
As the sun rose,

00:05:59.666 --> 00:06:02.791
the entire nation
mourned the loss of a warrior.

00:06:02.875 --> 00:06:04.416
One of the best of us.

00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:08.166
He succumbed to this monster
and died sacrificing himself.

00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:12.458
How can we send
starved and exhausted children into this

00:06:12.541 --> 00:06:16.208
and expect anything other
than the same fate for them, hmm?

00:06:16.291 --> 00:06:17.458
I share your concerns.

00:06:17.541 --> 00:06:18.875
- Minister.
- Yes.

00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:22.583
The governor has been
keeping me up-to-date

00:06:22.666 --> 00:06:24.916
on everything that's been going on here.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.500
In light of this recent tragic death,

00:06:28.291 --> 00:06:30.875
we should consider an alternative.

00:06:31.833 --> 00:06:36.541
A way that simply
keeps the boys alive for the time being.

00:06:37.041 --> 00:06:38.583
We can keep them alive.

00:06:38.666 --> 00:06:41.750
That should be what matters most
right now in this situation.

00:06:41.833 --> 00:06:44.625
You mean inside the cave, right?

00:06:44.708 --> 00:06:45.708
Yes.

00:06:45.750 --> 00:06:48.541
Won't they run out
of oxygen if they stay in there?

00:06:48.625 --> 00:06:51.083
That's why we'll pump in oxygen
from outside the cave.

00:06:51.166 --> 00:06:55.125
It's an alternative they once considered
but dismissed early on.

00:06:55.875 --> 00:06:59.791
Unfortunately, it seems...
I think too hastily sometimes,

00:06:59.875 --> 00:07:04.208
but right now, we must consider this
as a viable option for those kids.

00:07:04.291 --> 00:07:05.583
Is this possible?

00:07:06.250 --> 00:07:08.083
The foreign cave-diving experts

00:07:08.166 --> 00:07:10.416
have already laid out
the guideline for us,

00:07:10.500 --> 00:07:12.625
in less than a week's time.

00:07:12.708 --> 00:07:16.000
It is the same principle
but with an air hose.

00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:22.333
And how can we guarantee their safety
for that long inside of the cave?

00:07:22.416 --> 00:07:26.166
We know that some of those chambers
flood completely in the monsoon season.

00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:28.416
But how can you
guarantee their safety

00:07:28.458 --> 00:07:31.458
diving out of there
given all that has happened?

00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:34.666
You can't possibly expect those boys
to survive diving out of the cave?

00:07:34.750 --> 00:07:37.791
I've already asked
Admiral Appakorn and the Americans

00:07:37.875 --> 00:07:39.833
to work on new safety protocols.

00:07:40.750 --> 00:07:43.625
Sir, no one wants a repeat of today.

00:07:45.125 --> 00:07:48.458
But we can't just abandon a plan
that has some chance of success.

00:07:48.541 --> 00:07:50.333
- There are too many variables.
- How can you...

00:07:50.333 --> 00:07:53.125
That's enough! Listen to me.

00:07:56.958 --> 00:08:01.458
We've been reminded today
of exactly what is at stake here.

00:08:02.208 --> 00:08:03.208
Prove yourselves.

00:08:04.041 --> 00:08:06.291
Now is the time to do so.

00:08:07.291 --> 00:08:10.958
So, find out what exactly it'll take

00:08:11.041 --> 00:08:14.000
to ensure the boys
remain alive in the cave.

00:08:14.541 --> 00:08:18.041
No detail is too small for this.

00:08:18.166 --> 00:08:21.916
And you, discuss your new
safety protocols with your divers.

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.958
You have the higher bar to clear
given Ja Sam's death.

00:08:25.833 --> 00:08:28.750
I want the both of you,
no matter what it takes,

00:08:28.833 --> 00:08:31.375
to exhaust every possible outcome.

00:08:31.458 --> 00:08:34.833
So, when this is over,
no one will be able to say

00:08:34.916 --> 00:08:39.458
we didn't try everything we possibly could
to bring those boys to safety.

00:08:42.250 --> 00:08:45.083
I will except no more mistakes.

00:08:55.666 --> 00:08:58.125
Two days ago,
you wanted them out immediately.

00:08:58.791 --> 00:08:59.958
Why the dramatic shift?

00:09:01.125 --> 00:09:02.125
What are you after?

00:09:03.416 --> 00:09:05.208
Don't be so cynical, Nong.

00:09:06.333 --> 00:09:08.541
I just don't want anyone else dying.

00:09:10.791 --> 00:09:11.791
Neither do I.

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:21.000
Something has changed.

00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:22.666
Tell us what happened.

00:09:22.750 --> 00:09:24.041
A SEAL has died,

00:09:24.125 --> 00:09:26.250
but I didn't know him
that well personally.

00:09:27.291 --> 00:09:29.708
We were in the same unit
before he retired.

00:09:31.666 --> 00:09:33.375
He was an exceptional SEAL.

00:09:35.208 --> 00:09:37.041
But he was an even better man.

00:09:41.041 --> 00:09:44.916
He would still be alive right now
if I didn't bring the team here.

00:09:52.833 --> 00:09:54.291
Is he going to be all right?

00:09:55.291 --> 00:09:56.291
Eventually.

00:09:57.541 --> 00:09:59.541
When they're all safely out of the cave.

00:10:00.375 --> 00:10:02.708
And when he figures out
how to forgive himself.

00:10:04.500 --> 00:10:05.500
Bhak.

00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.708
I think you should tell him.

00:10:10.666 --> 00:10:13.291
The oxygen meter dropped
below 15% this morning.

00:10:14.625 --> 00:10:16.125
We are in the danger zone now.

00:10:18.333 --> 00:10:21.083
Sam's death has changed the calculations

00:10:21.166 --> 00:10:23.291
the higher-ups are making out there, but...

00:10:24.541 --> 00:10:26.500
we're gonna get you out of here
as soon as we can.

00:10:27.291 --> 00:10:28.541
Keep Eak's spirits up.

00:10:39.916 --> 00:10:41.583
The interior minister

00:10:42.083 --> 00:10:45.000
is considering keeping the boys
in the cave

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:49.083
until the monsoon ends and waters recede.

00:10:49.166 --> 00:10:50.416
Four months?

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:53.458
You might as well be telling
those boys we've given up on them!

00:10:53.583 --> 00:10:56.458
That's what it's going to feel like
if they're told to wait this thing out

00:10:56.458 --> 00:10:58.125
until autumn with an oxygen tube in there.

00:10:58.208 --> 00:11:00.875
What's their plan
if the oxygen tube gets a hole in it?

00:11:00.958 --> 00:11:02.625
Or one of the kids gets pneumonia?

00:11:02.708 --> 00:11:05.916
How's Dr. Bhak supposed to treat that
in a damp, dark cave?

00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:09.333
All we can do is focus
on what's being asked of us,

00:11:09.875 --> 00:11:12.833
which boils down to one question.

00:11:12.916 --> 00:11:17.750
Are we doing everything we can
to guarantee the boys' safety

00:11:18.875 --> 00:11:19.958
on the dive out?

00:11:22.291 --> 00:11:23.916
We have learned a brutal lesson.

00:11:23.958 --> 00:11:27.083
My men are highly skilled divers
out in open water,

00:11:27.125 --> 00:11:29.291
but here, we're learning as we go.

00:11:29.416 --> 00:11:31.916
So, for the safety of everyone involved,

00:11:32.416 --> 00:11:35.708
the rescue itself should be handled
by expert cave divers.

00:11:35.791 --> 00:11:38.208
My men will provide all necessary support.

00:11:38.291 --> 00:11:39.291
But, sir...

00:11:42.625 --> 00:11:44.500
This is an unprecedented mission.

00:11:44.583 --> 00:11:49.166
We have to adjust our plans
according to the changing circumstances.

00:11:50.041 --> 00:11:52.500
Are you up for this?

00:11:52.583 --> 00:11:54.458
Okay, then. What do we do next?

00:11:54.541 --> 00:11:58.500
So, the biggest threat,
aside from the cave itself, is panic.

00:11:58.583 --> 00:12:02.250
Panic is a powerful human reflex.
It's impossible to combat.

00:12:02.291 --> 00:12:04.166
We're asking these kids

00:12:04.291 --> 00:12:05.958
to dive through tight spaces

00:12:06.041 --> 00:12:09.166
filled with sharp objects
in pitch-black, cold water.

00:12:09.291 --> 00:12:11.000
For several hours at a time.

00:12:11.125 --> 00:12:13.500
It's not a matter of if,
but how long before they panic.

00:12:13.583 --> 00:12:15.125
When they do, they will thrash around.

00:12:15.166 --> 00:12:17.500
They will endanger the lives
of divers and themselves.

00:12:17.583 --> 00:12:19.875
What do you suggest we do
to prevent that from happening?

00:12:19.916 --> 00:12:20.791
Oh...

00:12:20.875 --> 00:12:24.458
If we're going to buddy-swim them out,
we need to restrict their movements.

00:12:25.541 --> 00:12:29.208
When a lifeguard is trying
to save someone from drowning,

00:12:29.916 --> 00:12:31.875
they'll swim them out on their back,

00:12:31.958 --> 00:12:34.375
immobilizing them...
their arms at the shoulder,

00:12:34.458 --> 00:12:38.416
but that's not feasible
in spaces this tight or for this long.

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:41.875
Restrict their movement,
you wanna zip-tie their hands?

00:12:41.958 --> 00:12:43.625
Behind their backs, ideally.

00:12:43.708 --> 00:12:45.750
- Feet too.
- Are you insane?

00:12:45.833 --> 00:12:47.750
You wanna handcuff children underwater?

00:12:47.833 --> 00:12:50.000
The only way we can safely
take them out of the cave

00:12:50.083 --> 00:12:53.625
is to treat them like the packages
of MREs or the air tanks going in.

00:12:53.708 --> 00:12:55.166
They must be fully immobilized.

00:12:55.250 --> 00:13:00.375
Even zip-tied, they'll likely
still thrash, panic, stirring up silt.

00:13:00.458 --> 00:13:02.583
What if they knock you off the guide rope?

00:13:03.750 --> 00:13:04.958
Go ahead. Your idea.

00:13:08.750 --> 00:13:10.500
What if we anesthetized them?

00:13:16.125 --> 00:13:18.750
Is this really the plan
from the head of operations?

00:13:19.333 --> 00:13:21.666
That's insane!
Get the kids drugged underwater.

00:13:21.750 --> 00:13:23.583
Would they do this to their own children?

00:13:23.666 --> 00:13:24.666
Chet!

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:26.708
You're out of line.

00:13:28.625 --> 00:13:30.583
Hey, man. Let's go for a walk.

00:13:39.458 --> 00:13:43.541
No one wants to do it,
but short of a better idea,

00:13:43.625 --> 00:13:47.125
I can't see how else we can prevent them
from panicking for long enough

00:13:47.791 --> 00:13:49.125
to save their lives.

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.958
Say we did go down this path,

00:13:59.708 --> 00:14:00.708
how would you do it?

00:14:01.875 --> 00:14:03.458
Which one of you is the doctor?

00:14:03.541 --> 00:14:06.208
None of us are doctors.

00:14:06.750 --> 00:14:08.958
James and some of the other
pararescue jumpers

00:14:09.083 --> 00:14:10.791
have experience in combat medicine.

00:14:10.916 --> 00:14:14.583
But not with children underwater
in a high-altitude cave.

00:14:14.625 --> 00:14:18.458
I don't even know if it's realistic,
but I know someone who will.

00:14:18.958 --> 00:14:19.958
Richard Harris.

00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:21.500
Dr. Harry.

00:14:21.958 --> 00:14:25.750
He's an Australian cave diver,
but he's also an anesthetist.

00:14:25.833 --> 00:14:28.416
Only one in the world, as far as we know.

00:14:34.250 --> 00:14:37.166
You actually got them
to agree to this insane scheme?

00:14:38.208 --> 00:14:39.875
Not exactly.

00:14:39.958 --> 00:14:42.666
They're open to it,
but they'll need some convincing.

00:14:42.750 --> 00:14:45.875
Yes, well...
Reckon I'll need some convincing as well.

00:14:48.791 --> 00:14:52.333
Well, aren't you Wet Mules
always whinging in your blog

00:14:52.416 --> 00:14:55.958
about wanting to find
unique solutions for unique problems?

00:14:56.041 --> 00:14:59.083
This is about as unique as it comes.
This is a bloody unicorn.

00:14:59.166 --> 00:15:01.666
Better not let Craig
hear you call it a "blog."

00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:02.875
He didn't!

00:15:05.583 --> 00:15:08.916
I dunno. What you're asking's never been
done before, and for good reason.

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.041
Even if I could work out the logistics,
there's medical ethics.

00:15:13.666 --> 00:15:14.666
And also,

00:15:15.250 --> 00:15:18.916
I can't do this without a partner I trust.
I don't move without Craig.

00:15:19.958 --> 00:15:20.791
Dr. Harris.

00:15:20.916 --> 00:15:22.416
That's my father's name.

00:15:23.083 --> 00:15:25.958
Harry, I'm not sure
we can get approval fast enough.

00:15:26.041 --> 00:15:28.833
Your embassy said
you were pre-vetted through AUSMAT,

00:15:28.958 --> 00:15:33.208
so it was an easy ask of Canberra,
but Craig will be a tougher sell.

00:15:33.291 --> 00:15:34.500
Major, with respect,

00:15:35.416 --> 00:15:36.833
I don't move without Craig.

00:15:40.708 --> 00:15:42.291
Okay, let me see what I can do.

00:15:51.250 --> 00:15:53.625
Thankfully, there's more good news
than bad news.

00:16:00.916 --> 00:16:04.500
we've got at least 30 different types
of pipes and hoses out there right now.

00:16:07.916 --> 00:16:09.625
You can make this work?

00:16:09.708 --> 00:16:13.750
Since some are of different sizes,
we'll have to jury-rig them together.

00:16:14.250 --> 00:16:16.125
Can your team start immediately?

00:16:16.208 --> 00:16:18.750
There are still
some calculations to be done.

00:16:18.833 --> 00:16:21.416
I've posted some of the problem sets
on Facebook and Reddit.

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.583
On Facebook?

00:16:22.666 --> 00:16:25.833
Sir, engineers
from around the world are watching.

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.375
Crowdsourcing some of the best minds
out there can really speed up the process.

00:16:31.458 --> 00:16:35.333
Using good calculations,
some of the materials can be ruled out.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.708
While that's being done,
I'm gonna start with the practical tests.

00:16:38.791 --> 00:16:41.166
The maps don't do justice
to the trickiest bits.

00:16:41.250 --> 00:16:43.833
Some things we won't know
until we get in there and measure it.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:49.750
Minister, sir, we are currently
working with a team of Americans

00:16:49.833 --> 00:16:53.375
to determine how many
additional MREs we'll need

00:16:53.458 --> 00:16:56.041
to keep the boys fed
for the next few months,

00:16:56.125 --> 00:16:59.000
as well as how long it will take
to get supplies into the cave...

00:16:59.083 --> 00:17:00.791
Hi, excuse the interruption.

00:17:01.458 --> 00:17:03.625
I'm looking for a forest ranger named Pim.

00:17:03.666 --> 00:17:05.125
And who are you exactly?

00:17:06.916 --> 00:17:08.583
I'm Noon from the TMD in Bangkok.

00:17:08.666 --> 00:17:09.833
Noon, hi.

00:17:10.833 --> 00:17:14.333
I couldn't take it anymore.
Today the satellite went down again.

00:17:14.416 --> 00:17:16.541
The same one that went down
when this all started.

00:17:16.625 --> 00:17:20.666
So I came here. I had to do something.
Especially for Ja Sam.

00:17:20.750 --> 00:17:22.833
Wait. What are you doing here?

00:17:22.916 --> 00:17:26.416
I'm gonna set up a mobile weather station
at the top of Pha Mee mountain.

00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:28.583
That boss of mine
didn't want me to come here.

00:17:28.666 --> 00:17:30.958
He said the satellite would be up again.

00:17:31.041 --> 00:17:33.666
But after what happened last time,
I was able to convince him

00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:36.750
that if anyone found out
we could've helped and didn't try,

00:17:36.833 --> 00:17:39.583
it would be
a career-ending kind of scandal.

00:17:40.541 --> 00:17:42.625
I think that part is what got to him.

00:17:43.541 --> 00:17:46.375
Pim, I was hoping
you could help me out with this.

00:17:47.416 --> 00:17:49.250
I'm in the middle of strategizing.

00:17:49.333 --> 00:17:51.416
All of the strategizing in the world

00:17:51.500 --> 00:17:53.958
isn't going to help
if the weather changes on us.

00:17:55.916 --> 00:17:59.250
It's too late to leave now.
I think we should talk to the governor.

00:17:59.333 --> 00:18:00.416
He'll wanna meet you.

00:18:03.333 --> 00:18:04.375
Excuse me.

00:18:04.458 --> 00:18:06.250
That's government property.

00:18:07.083 --> 00:18:08.166
Thai government.

00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:10.958
Thai Meteorological Department
by the looks of it.

00:18:11.958 --> 00:18:14.583
Seems like your boss
has a friend at the US Embassy.

00:18:14.666 --> 00:18:18.375
He called, worried that some intern of his
might injure herself in the jungle.

00:18:19.208 --> 00:18:21.208
My commander asked me to look after you.

00:18:23.375 --> 00:18:24.375
Okay.

00:18:27.041 --> 00:18:30.166
It's nice to meet you in person.
You're younger than I thought.

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:04.708
- Hey!
- You okay?

00:19:05.875 --> 00:19:07.625
I'm sorry.

00:19:07.708 --> 00:19:09.916
Tle! Nick! What are you doing?

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:13.208
Nothing happened.
We were just messing around.

00:19:16.250 --> 00:19:18.458
Do you understand
Night could have choked?

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:22.125
I'm all right, Coach.

00:19:22.791 --> 00:19:24.500
That was extremely dangerous.

00:19:28.125 --> 00:19:31.083
I mean, how is it
you don't understand that?

00:19:32.750 --> 00:19:34.458
So, whether you meant it or not,

00:19:36.125 --> 00:19:37.291
you have to be careful!

00:19:37.375 --> 00:19:40.666
Terrible things can still happen!
No more messing around!

00:19:40.708 --> 00:19:42.166
I've had enough!

00:19:42.250 --> 00:19:43.666
Go to sleep now!

00:19:45.291 --> 00:19:46.291
Sorry, Coach.

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:50.500
Now!

00:20:16.750 --> 00:20:19.625
Dr. Harris, I'm your escort,
Toe, from the embassy.

00:20:22.208 --> 00:20:23.541
What's going on here?

00:20:23.625 --> 00:20:27.458
They're taking the Navy SEAL
back to Sattahip to be buried by his wife.

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:31.250
He was the first fatality of the cave.

00:20:42.250 --> 00:20:44.208
- Okay, follow him.
- Yes, sir.

00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:45.375
Watch your step.

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.416
Everyone!

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:54.083
Anesthetist extraordinaire Dr. Harry

00:20:54.166 --> 00:20:56.166
and his dive buddy, Craig.

00:20:56.250 --> 00:20:57.625
Veterinarian extraordinaire.

00:20:58.291 --> 00:21:00.458
We are grateful
that you're here.

00:21:00.541 --> 00:21:03.625
You'll forgive us
if we do not waste time. Please.

00:21:10.541 --> 00:21:14.125
Each of these colors
represents a chamber inside the cave.

00:21:14.875 --> 00:21:17.541
Between them are the submerged sumps.

00:21:18.625 --> 00:21:20.541
The boys are here in chamber 9.

00:21:21.208 --> 00:21:23.750
With four SEALs,
one of them's a doctor who says

00:21:23.791 --> 00:21:25.208
they're in relatively good health.

00:21:25.250 --> 00:21:27.750
The way we've worked it out
is each of the Wild Boars

00:21:27.875 --> 00:21:31.166
will be assigned two divers
to swim him out of each submerged sump.

00:21:31.250 --> 00:21:34.541
- You don't wanna use two divers.
- Why not?

00:21:35.125 --> 00:21:37.833
A couple of years ago,
a friend of ours, uh,

00:21:37.916 --> 00:21:41.000
a young diver called Agnes,
went missing during a dive,

00:21:41.083 --> 00:21:43.416
and Harry and I handled the recovery.

00:21:43.916 --> 00:21:47.958
We almost found out firsthand
why two divers is a bad idea.

00:21:48.041 --> 00:21:51.416
If you think about it,
if the lead diver gets jammed up,

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:53.041
there's no way of communicating

00:21:53.125 --> 00:21:55.250
with the guy behind him
that he's in trouble.

00:21:55.333 --> 00:21:56.916
If you get stuck in a tight spot,

00:21:56.958 --> 00:21:59.500
the diver behind you
is pressing forward with a body,

00:21:59.583 --> 00:22:01.416
no one knows what the hell's going on...

00:22:01.458 --> 00:22:04.500
Someone is going
to get hurt or worse, right?

00:22:06.041 --> 00:22:07.125
Okay.

00:22:07.166 --> 00:22:09.375
So, to help the solo diver,

00:22:09.458 --> 00:22:12.750
we'll position the other divers
throughout the cave with SKEDs

00:22:12.833 --> 00:22:14.500
to pull the boys out of the water

00:22:14.583 --> 00:22:17.000
and carry them
through the chambers between sumps.

00:22:17.041 --> 00:22:20.166
We've been trying to find a way
to secure the regulator in the mouth.

00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:22.583
We suggested
looking into full face masks.

00:22:22.708 --> 00:22:24.583
We were able to find
a few of these down south.

00:22:24.708 --> 00:22:27.541
So far, all I've heard is the ways
you're setting my friend up here

00:22:27.625 --> 00:22:30.083
to send 12 boys to a watery grave.

00:22:34.458 --> 00:22:35.458
May I?

00:22:39.333 --> 00:22:42.625
The only way this works
is with positive-pressure masks.

00:22:42.708 --> 00:22:45.000
We looked into those.
They don't make 'em small enough.

00:22:45.083 --> 00:22:47.458
There's gotta be one
for a small adult

00:22:47.541 --> 00:22:49.958
or a teenager
somewhere out there that'd work.

00:22:50.458 --> 00:22:53.875
What's the difference
with a positive-pressure mask?

00:22:53.916 --> 00:22:56.583
Diving requires
the active participation of the diver,

00:22:56.666 --> 00:23:00.208
so you've gotta keep the regulator
in your mouth in order to breathe...

00:23:00.291 --> 00:23:03.750
If these boys are unconscious,
they won't be breathing regularly.

00:23:03.833 --> 00:23:06.458
They sure as hell won't be able
to keep a regulator in their mouth

00:23:06.583 --> 00:23:07.916
or notice water coming in.

00:23:08.750 --> 00:23:11.791
And neither will the diver
that's pulling them through. So...

00:23:12.791 --> 00:23:13.791
They'll drown.

00:23:17.125 --> 00:23:20.250
But a positive-pressure mask,
we've worked with them in the States,

00:23:20.333 --> 00:23:21.500
the air is flowing,

00:23:21.583 --> 00:23:24.000
pressurized air coming in no matter what.

00:23:24.083 --> 00:23:25.875
Only way these boys
have a fighting chance.

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.875
And if we can't find the masks?

00:23:30.583 --> 00:23:32.125
Well, then Craig's right.

00:23:32.208 --> 00:23:33.583
I can't anesthetize them.

00:23:34.333 --> 00:23:35.541
They will drown.

00:23:40.250 --> 00:23:43.708
But if we can find a mask small enough,

00:23:43.791 --> 00:23:48.416
and we're able to ballast the boys
level and face down in the water...

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:50.250
Wait, why face down?

00:23:50.333 --> 00:23:53.833
So they don't obstruct their airways,
don't choke on their own tongue,

00:23:53.916 --> 00:23:55.333
drown in their own saliva.

00:23:55.958 --> 00:23:57.166
There is a chance

00:23:58.250 --> 00:23:59.625
if we can get the masks.

00:24:03.791 --> 00:24:06.041
Okay. We got our marching orders.

00:24:08.083 --> 00:24:12.083
So Chet is working with Kelly
and Jirasak to try and pipe in oxygen?

00:24:12.166 --> 00:24:13.166
Yeah.

00:24:13.583 --> 00:24:15.583
Yeah, well he's taking Sam's death hard.

00:24:16.166 --> 00:24:20.875
Yeah. You know, Chet and Ja Sam,
they'd known each other a long time.

00:24:21.958 --> 00:24:23.708
He wants a chance to make it right.

00:24:32.875 --> 00:24:34.375
Okay. Please, start it up!

00:24:38.416 --> 00:24:41.958
The compressor pushes the air
down the hose, up through this tank here.

00:24:44.041 --> 00:24:46.916
The tank will be filled with water
to catch any leaks.

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:48.958
The engineer, he's got the air-out end.

00:24:49.666 --> 00:24:51.625
This seems like a thorough plan.

00:24:53.333 --> 00:24:55.666
If it's working, how will we know that?

00:24:56.708 --> 00:24:58.333
Yes, how will we know if it leaks?

00:24:58.416 --> 00:25:01.000
The water will fill up
with air bubbles at the junction.

00:25:01.625 --> 00:25:04.625
That's true, if there's a leak,
air bubbles come out here.

00:25:19.166 --> 00:25:21.250
Look, you have to
trust me on this.

00:25:21.291 --> 00:25:23.583
They'll be fully conscious underwater,

00:25:23.666 --> 00:25:26.958
in the pitch black for hours
without control over their bodies.

00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.458
Would you like to experience
that type of torture?

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:34.416
He says using muscle relaxants can be
torture and too dangerous for the boys.

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:36.708
Maybe we should
revisit Midazolam.

00:25:36.791 --> 00:25:38.750
Or maybe Lorazepam.

00:25:38.833 --> 00:25:39.916
Yes...

00:25:40.750 --> 00:25:41.875
As I explained before,

00:25:41.958 --> 00:25:44.333
I'm really not comfortable
with either of those.

00:25:44.416 --> 00:25:46.083
They're too, um, unpredictable.

00:25:46.166 --> 00:25:49.166
We really should
lean into Dr. Harris's plan.

00:25:49.958 --> 00:25:51.833
Ketamine is the way to go.

00:25:51.916 --> 00:25:54.791
It's reliable, and it won't lower
core body temperature,

00:25:54.875 --> 00:25:58.416
and in turn, means that it won't
lower blood pressure on the dive.

00:25:58.916 --> 00:26:01.208
Ketamine truly does seem
like the least harmful option,

00:26:01.291 --> 00:26:03.125
and it won't mess with their vitals.

00:26:04.750 --> 00:26:07.041
But it doesn't last very long.

00:26:07.125 --> 00:26:09.791
If they wake up during the dive,
what would you do with them?

00:26:10.583 --> 00:26:11.750
That's a good point.

00:26:11.833 --> 00:26:14.291
What would you do
if they wake up during the dive?

00:26:16.625 --> 00:26:20.875
Uh, the diver taking them out
will have to jab them again.

00:26:26.083 --> 00:26:27.333
Leave them in

00:26:28.083 --> 00:26:29.083
or take them out.

00:26:30.583 --> 00:26:33.666
We should ask their parents
what they think.

00:26:38.916 --> 00:26:40.333
We're the leaders.

00:26:41.416 --> 00:26:43.541
Now we have to decide
what to do with them.

00:26:46.583 --> 00:26:49.750
Those people there,
there are no divers among them.

00:26:50.666 --> 00:26:52.083
No engineers with them.

00:26:53.708 --> 00:26:55.916
Plus, they're emotional
and mentally drained.

00:26:58.083 --> 00:27:01.166
Ask yourself, if your daughter
was in a cave,

00:27:02.583 --> 00:27:05.208
could you handle
the situation objectively?

00:27:07.291 --> 00:27:08.291
I don't know.

00:27:11.083 --> 00:27:14.416
But tell me,
wouldn't you want a say in all of this?

00:27:26.166 --> 00:27:29.416
- How long have you been in for?
- The Air Force? Ten years.

00:27:29.833 --> 00:27:32.083
- Ever seen anything like this?
- Nope.

00:27:36.375 --> 00:27:38.375
Tell me we found some masks.

00:27:38.458 --> 00:27:43.291
The Yanks managed to pull four custom,
extra-small positive-pressure masks

00:27:43.375 --> 00:27:44.625
out of their arses.

00:27:45.208 --> 00:27:48.666
They sent a transport all the way
to God knows where to pick them up.

00:27:48.750 --> 00:27:50.708
They sent a whole plane for four masks?

00:27:50.791 --> 00:27:54.041
Hey, mate, it's not my hard-earned
Australian tax dollars at work.

00:27:54.541 --> 00:27:57.083
Oh, and the SEALs, uh,
got the SKEDs together too.

00:27:57.166 --> 00:27:59.916
They're setting up
a dry run at a pool nearby.

00:28:01.041 --> 00:28:02.125
So a wet run, then?

00:28:02.958 --> 00:28:04.541
No, that's not what that means.

00:28:04.625 --> 00:28:05.458
A wet run...

00:28:05.541 --> 00:28:08.291
Are you gonna tell me
what happened in there or not?

00:28:08.916 --> 00:28:11.500
Look, they're rightly nervous
about all of this.

00:28:12.291 --> 00:28:15.291
But they wanna dictate
every aspect of the process.

00:28:15.375 --> 00:28:17.208
The medicine, the dosage, all of it.

00:28:17.916 --> 00:28:21.500
You're the guy that's gonna be
inside the cave doling it out.

00:28:21.583 --> 00:28:23.708
Not much they can do
to stop you doing it your way...

00:28:23.791 --> 00:28:24.791
Craig.

00:28:25.625 --> 00:28:27.791
What happens when one of those boys dies?

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:32.875
Because we both know that's gonna happen.
How do I explain myself?

00:28:32.958 --> 00:28:35.166
I'm a murderer on foreign soil.
You're an accessory.

00:28:35.208 --> 00:28:37.541
We both end up
in a Bangkok prison. It's true.

00:28:37.625 --> 00:28:40.333
No, no. That's when I get
Toe here to smuggle me out.

00:28:41.833 --> 00:28:44.166
I've been told not to listen
to anything you say.

00:28:44.250 --> 00:28:46.916
And that is good advice.
You're a quick study.

00:28:48.708 --> 00:28:50.166
So are we just gonna walk away?

00:28:52.541 --> 00:28:54.375
I need to see these boys for myself.

00:28:56.750 --> 00:28:58.333
This what you want too?

00:28:58.833 --> 00:29:01.416
It's not about what I want.
I move with Harry.

00:29:01.916 --> 00:29:03.708
If they are
going to be my patients,

00:29:03.791 --> 00:29:06.458
I surely have the right
to examine them myself.

00:29:06.541 --> 00:29:10.333
I don't know. You'd be better off
running practice drills in a pool with us.

00:29:10.416 --> 00:29:12.541
This whole exercise might be moot

00:29:12.625 --> 00:29:15.041
if I get in there
and decide they're not up to it.

00:29:15.125 --> 00:29:17.333
Have you thought about
what it's going to be like

00:29:17.375 --> 00:29:19.125
to swim away from these boys

00:29:19.208 --> 00:29:21.458
knowing you could be
leaving them there to die?

00:29:25.125 --> 00:29:26.958
Those are our only options?

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:29.666
If they were your children,

00:29:30.166 --> 00:29:32.625
would you risk their lives
during the rescue

00:29:33.125 --> 00:29:35.666
or risk their lives inside the cave?

00:29:36.625 --> 00:29:38.500
Both options are risky, yes.

00:29:38.541 --> 00:29:40.333
Of course they are. But what would you do?

00:29:42.333 --> 00:29:43.333
I'd rescue them.

00:29:44.125 --> 00:29:45.250
Why is that?

00:29:48.333 --> 00:29:50.333
For a dangerous situation like this,

00:29:51.333 --> 00:29:54.125
it's about choosing between a quick death

00:29:55.416 --> 00:29:56.458
and a slow one.

00:30:02.375 --> 00:30:04.166
But this is not my decision.

00:30:06.958 --> 00:30:07.958
Thank you, Governor.

00:30:09.375 --> 00:30:10.958
I appreciate your honesty.

00:30:13.083 --> 00:30:14.958
I feel the same way.

00:30:18.958 --> 00:30:20.958
If you're willing
to give your consent,

00:30:21.916 --> 00:30:24.000
I need you to sign a release form,

00:30:24.708 --> 00:30:26.458
so that we can proceed.

00:30:28.041 --> 00:30:31.791
We need the boy's name,
the guardian's name,

00:30:31.875 --> 00:30:33.458
and your signature here.

00:30:34.875 --> 00:30:36.333
One per family.

00:31:06.666 --> 00:31:07.666
I will not!

00:31:08.208 --> 00:31:11.000
You think you know
what it feels like to have a dead child!

00:31:11.083 --> 00:31:13.583
But I promise you, you have no idea!

00:31:14.541 --> 00:31:16.250
And I will not sign!

00:31:16.375 --> 00:31:18.208
I'm telling you now,

00:31:18.291 --> 00:31:20.875
no person is going to make me
give up on my Tle!

00:31:48.250 --> 00:31:49.250
Sak!

00:31:54.416 --> 00:31:55.416
You look lost!

00:31:57.291 --> 00:32:00.250
- I'm giving my wife some space.
- Come, take a seat.

00:32:00.333 --> 00:32:02.416
We can take a break
from our wives together.

00:32:38.458 --> 00:32:41.958
- It's... It's Biw's favorite song.
- Mm, Tle too.

00:32:44.333 --> 00:32:46.333
I always turn the volume up
whenever it comes on

00:32:46.416 --> 00:32:48.083
just to tease him a little.

00:32:50.250 --> 00:32:51.916
I was out the night before.

00:32:53.583 --> 00:32:55.666
The night before they went into the cave.

00:32:57.541 --> 00:32:59.250
But I stopped by the soccer field.

00:33:00.375 --> 00:33:03.250
I wasn't sure if Biw wanted me
to see him there practicing.

00:33:03.833 --> 00:33:05.583
Kids get easily embarrassed at there age.

00:33:10.291 --> 00:33:11.625
When all this is over...

00:33:12.958 --> 00:33:15.500
Then... And when Biw comes home to me...

00:33:19.833 --> 00:33:21.833
I promise to be a better father.

00:33:35.833 --> 00:33:36.875
Before Tle...

00:33:38.958 --> 00:33:40.333
we had a younger daughter.

00:33:45.208 --> 00:33:47.250
Then, one day, she got really sick.

00:33:50.083 --> 00:33:51.083
It was terminal.

00:33:54.208 --> 00:33:55.875
I never knew about your daughter.

00:33:56.375 --> 00:33:57.625
My condolences.

00:34:00.541 --> 00:34:01.541
At the time...

00:34:04.083 --> 00:34:05.791
we didn't think we could recover.

00:34:10.125 --> 00:34:11.333
Then we had Tle.

00:34:12.500 --> 00:34:14.666
Our hearts were flooded with love again.

00:34:21.666 --> 00:34:22.958
We swore an oath.

00:34:23.791 --> 00:34:26.041
We would keep him safe anyway we could.

00:34:29.083 --> 00:34:33.500
But we have no control over this.
Trust me, we're all trying.

00:34:33.583 --> 00:34:36.291
I believe that. I believe that.

00:34:37.375 --> 00:34:38.625
My wife, though...

00:34:48.541 --> 00:34:50.000
Hey, you're cheating!

00:34:50.916 --> 00:34:53.708
What a noop. Two against one
and you still lost everything.

00:34:53.791 --> 00:34:55.291
- One more game?
- Sure.

00:34:55.291 --> 00:34:57.541
Let's try again. Catch it.

00:35:08.333 --> 00:35:09.458
Coach Eak,

00:35:09.541 --> 00:35:11.166
we're really sorry.

00:35:11.250 --> 00:35:15.416
We all forgot how dangerous it is in here.

00:35:15.500 --> 00:35:17.583
Because you've protected us from danger.

00:35:18.791 --> 00:35:21.000
So we let our guard down for a time.

00:35:37.875 --> 00:35:39.291
I'm sorry I yelled at you.

00:35:40.041 --> 00:35:41.375
I wasn't mad at you.

00:35:42.875 --> 00:35:44.250
I'm not mad at any of you.

00:35:45.625 --> 00:35:47.000
I'm mad at myself.

00:35:53.291 --> 00:35:54.291
I'm really sorry.

00:35:57.166 --> 00:35:59.291
I'm sorry for bringing you here

00:36:00.041 --> 00:36:01.791
and putting you through all of this.

00:36:02.791 --> 00:36:05.166
You don't deserve any of this.

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:09.208
You're just kids.
You know, you should be playing pranks,

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:12.708
having fun, enjoying life,

00:36:13.541 --> 00:36:15.291
and not worrying about being here.

00:36:16.541 --> 00:36:18.500
None of this is your fault, Eak.

00:36:20.750 --> 00:36:22.916
You didn't force anybody to be here.

00:36:24.958 --> 00:36:27.416
We wanted to be here. All of us.

00:36:28.791 --> 00:36:30.958
Although, I didn't want to...

00:36:32.291 --> 00:36:34.500
...you never forced me
to come with you, Eak.

00:36:36.500 --> 00:36:38.375
I may not have forced you to be here...

00:36:41.250 --> 00:36:43.416
but I led the way,
and then you followed me.

00:36:45.291 --> 00:36:46.375
I am the coach.

00:36:50.583 --> 00:36:52.375
I am supposed to protect you.

00:36:53.333 --> 00:36:55.291
If anything happened to any of you...

00:37:01.833 --> 00:37:04.125
You don't have to
protect us anymore.

00:37:06.750 --> 00:37:09.166
Because you taught us how to stay alive.

00:37:16.375 --> 00:37:19.875
- What's your name, kid?
- Can you tell my friend here your name?

00:37:19.958 --> 00:37:21.291
Uh, Boon-Nam.

00:37:21.375 --> 00:37:23.333
'Boon-Nam' means good fortune.

00:37:23.416 --> 00:37:26.208
He's a Wild Boar who was supposed to
go into the cave with them,

00:37:26.291 --> 00:37:28.291
but his mom called him home early.

00:37:28.375 --> 00:37:30.416
All right, this is gonna be really weird,

00:37:30.458 --> 00:37:33.208
but I'm gonna need you
to put your hands together like this.

00:37:33.291 --> 00:37:39.666
- Cross your arms behind your back.
- Well... will this help my friends?

00:37:40.666 --> 00:37:41.708
Yes, sir.

00:38:43.791 --> 00:38:46.250
We need
some sort of buoyancy for the legs.

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:50.125
It'd need to be something already
in the cave. We can't take more things in.

00:38:50.208 --> 00:38:51.208
Yeah.

00:38:51.291 --> 00:38:52.291
How about this?

00:39:28.916 --> 00:39:31.833
- Is it over?
- Hey. It's okay, kid. You did really well.

00:39:32.625 --> 00:39:34.583
- Where's my mom?
- You're okay.

00:39:34.625 --> 00:39:35.208
Where did she go?
I can't do it again.

00:39:41.791 --> 00:39:43.416
Okay, big breath in.

00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:45.041
You gotta inhale, Mark.

00:39:45.125 --> 00:39:47.125
And out.

00:39:47.208 --> 00:39:48.416
And now breathe out.

00:39:51.083 --> 00:39:52.500
Okay. Once more.

00:39:52.583 --> 00:39:53.666
One more time.

00:39:58.666 --> 00:40:01.291
Okay. Okay. Thank you, young man.

00:40:02.541 --> 00:40:05.083
You take it easy, okay? Thank you, Adul.

00:40:13.375 --> 00:40:16.291
Look, he's not great.
He'll need treatment on the outside.

00:40:16.791 --> 00:40:20.375
But generally, I can't believe
how healthy you've kept them all in here.

00:40:20.458 --> 00:40:22.458
I can't take much credit. They're tough.

00:40:23.833 --> 00:40:27.666
Hey, Adul. Maybe he has
a pet kangaroo or something.

00:40:27.750 --> 00:40:29.833
Do you have a pet kangaroo?

00:40:29.916 --> 00:40:31.375
A kangaroo?

00:40:31.458 --> 00:40:32.666
All Australians do.

00:40:32.750 --> 00:40:34.166
They all have kangaroos!

00:40:34.250 --> 00:40:36.750
- Everyone, really?
- Do you really?

00:40:38.416 --> 00:40:40.333
When do you plan to take them out?

00:40:40.416 --> 00:40:42.833
They're still deciding that, I'm afraid.

00:40:42.916 --> 00:40:44.750
I know they're doing their best,

00:40:44.833 --> 00:40:46.875
but the sooner
they make a decision, the better.

00:40:46.958 --> 00:40:50.791
These kids are resilient,
more than most adults I know,

00:40:50.875 --> 00:40:54.458
but the stress of not knowing
will wear anyone down eventually.

00:40:57.416 --> 00:41:00.958
When I get out of here,
I will ask for a kangaroo.

00:41:41.708 --> 00:41:45.625
I pray for the courage
to endure this life's trial.

00:41:46.708 --> 00:41:49.041
But there's none to be found.

00:41:51.541 --> 00:41:54.916
Mothers should never
outlive their babies.

00:41:57.208 --> 00:41:58.208
This...

00:41:59.708 --> 00:42:01.625
This pain is excruciating.

00:42:03.750 --> 00:42:06.750
I need help
to stay strong for my baby boy.

00:42:09.666 --> 00:42:11.000
But I find nothing.

00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:25.000
Do you know
the parable of Kisa Gotami?

00:42:30.583 --> 00:42:32.583
How bad will it be, Noon?

00:42:33.833 --> 00:42:36.583
Stop asking me that!
I'm trying to figure it out!

00:42:40.166 --> 00:42:41.333
It will be bad!

00:42:41.416 --> 00:42:44.166
It's almost 40 millimeters
and still rising.

00:42:46.958 --> 00:42:48.541
We've got to call it in!

00:42:48.625 --> 00:42:51.250
Damn it! It's not working.

00:42:51.916 --> 00:42:53.250
Are you kidding me?

00:42:53.333 --> 00:42:55.750
How can we have
such bad luck with satellites?

00:42:59.041 --> 00:43:01.875
Go.

00:43:35.833 --> 00:43:37.833
I understand clearly, right?

00:43:38.333 --> 00:43:39.666
The hose isn't leaking,

00:43:39.750 --> 00:43:42.625
and the air is flowing
all the way through the system.

00:43:44.125 --> 00:43:46.791
Your test really worked. You did it.

00:43:48.625 --> 00:43:52.833
Yes, but this is a dry run.
It works every time we try it out here.

00:43:52.916 --> 00:43:56.250
But both times that we've tried it
in chamber 1, it springs a leak.

00:43:56.833 --> 00:43:59.708
The strength of the current
and wear and tear of the rope.

00:43:59.791 --> 00:44:01.333
This is only a test, sir.

00:44:01.416 --> 00:44:05.166
The system works out here on dry land,
but it always leaks inside the cave.

00:44:05.666 --> 00:44:07.708
It's because of the extra water pressure.

00:44:08.875 --> 00:44:10.916
Well, can you fix it or can't you?

00:44:11.750 --> 00:44:14.083
Yes, sir. But we need more time.

00:44:14.916 --> 00:44:16.583
More tests need to be conducted.

00:44:18.083 --> 00:44:21.333
We need to be sure
that when more flood and rain comes,

00:44:21.416 --> 00:44:24.541
and it will, that our system
can withstand the pressure.

00:44:24.625 --> 00:44:27.958
Preparedness is key
for when the next severe storm comes.

00:44:30.208 --> 00:44:31.416
What do you think, Chet?

00:44:32.958 --> 00:44:36.125
You, and you alone, are the only one
who has dived in that cave.

00:44:41.708 --> 00:44:43.625
Do you agree with the two of them?

00:44:43.708 --> 00:44:45.458
Do you agree we need more time?

00:44:45.958 --> 00:44:47.833
Or we have to run even more tests?

00:44:55.416 --> 00:44:57.208
Yes, sir. We need more time.

00:44:58.125 --> 00:44:59.333
But we will not fail.

00:45:02.958 --> 00:45:03.958
Okay.

00:45:08.166 --> 00:45:13.041
There's nothing I can do
unless you all sign the document.

00:45:13.583 --> 00:45:16.625
They will never leave
some of the boys in and bring some out.

00:45:16.708 --> 00:45:17.708
It's too risky.

00:45:19.125 --> 00:45:20.875
You either all take part...

00:45:24.083 --> 00:45:25.583
or we're already beaten.

00:45:27.541 --> 00:45:29.041
You asked us to come,

00:45:29.125 --> 00:45:31.208
to sign away our sons' lives.

00:45:38.416 --> 00:45:40.083
Hey, where've you been?

00:45:40.166 --> 00:45:41.583
I was worried about you.

00:45:41.666 --> 00:45:43.041
Praying at the temple.

00:45:44.875 --> 00:45:47.666
I was asked about Kisa Gotami.

00:45:47.750 --> 00:45:48.750
Kisa?

00:45:49.375 --> 00:45:50.541
The parable.

00:45:50.625 --> 00:45:52.958
The monk couldn't believe
I hadn't heard of it.

00:46:00.708 --> 00:46:02.416
When her child died...

00:46:04.458 --> 00:46:06.041
she was heartbroken.

00:46:07.958 --> 00:46:11.000
People say she lost her mind with grief.

00:46:11.708 --> 00:46:14.500
And so she goes to the Buddha,
who tells her that

00:46:14.583 --> 00:46:18.291
if she collects mustard seeds
in the village from just one family

00:46:18.375 --> 00:46:20.041
who has not experienced death,

00:46:21.250 --> 00:46:24.291
then he will bring
her child back from the dead.

00:46:32.916 --> 00:46:36.000
You know, she goes to every single house,

00:46:38.291 --> 00:46:39.458
one by one,

00:46:43.833 --> 00:46:47.166
but everyone has lost someone they loved.

00:46:49.333 --> 00:46:50.458
Whether it's a son,

00:46:51.208 --> 00:46:52.208
a father,

00:46:53.125 --> 00:46:54.083
an uncle,

00:46:54.916 --> 00:46:56.041
an aunt,

00:46:56.958 --> 00:46:57.958
or

00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:01.000
a daughter.

00:47:06.125 --> 00:47:08.208
And she realized that

00:47:08.291 --> 00:47:11.166
there is no house untouched by death.

00:47:12.208 --> 00:47:16.333
And so Buddha welcomed her return
to hear how she had done.

00:47:17.458 --> 00:47:20.500
Aware now, she was wiser and humble.

00:47:21.000 --> 00:47:23.583
She told others about her child.

00:47:24.458 --> 00:47:27.166
Soothing her pain by sharing with us all.

00:47:29.958 --> 00:47:32.541
I've already buried a daughter.

00:47:34.750 --> 00:47:38.458
If there's a chance that signing this
will save other children,

00:47:38.958 --> 00:47:39.958
I will do it.

00:47:41.916 --> 00:47:43.125
I'm willing to sign it.

00:47:44.375 --> 00:47:46.250
I know that I'm not alone.

00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:15.083
May I, sir?

00:48:34.666 --> 00:48:37.083
They're gonna ask us
as soon as we get in that tent.

00:48:37.166 --> 00:48:38.291
Course they are.

00:48:38.791 --> 00:48:41.958
I know you wanna help.
It's your nature. You're a bloody saint.

00:48:42.041 --> 00:48:44.083
Piss off, would you?

00:48:45.458 --> 00:48:48.791
We both know that's why I'm here.
To play devil on your shoulder.

00:48:49.291 --> 00:48:53.333
If you go through with this
and even one boy dies...

00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:55.041
or a diver...

00:48:56.208 --> 00:48:58.583
Agnes was bad enough,
we lost a friend, but

00:48:59.583 --> 00:49:00.583
she was an adult,

00:49:01.208 --> 00:49:02.458
not some kid you drugged.

00:49:03.250 --> 00:49:06.625
If you can't live with that
for the rest of your life, don't say yes.

00:49:07.875 --> 00:49:09.583
No one's gonna judge you for that.

00:49:17.791 --> 00:49:19.958
I have
all the guardians' approval.

00:49:20.041 --> 00:49:21.666
Do you have everything you need, then?

00:49:21.750 --> 00:49:25.250
- Only one thing outstanding.
- And it's not insubstantial.

00:49:25.333 --> 00:49:28.041
Whether or not
Dr. Harris will go through with it.

00:49:28.125 --> 00:49:29.250
What do you think?

00:49:30.083 --> 00:49:33.750
Well, if he doesn't, then the boys
have no chance of being rescued.

00:49:34.458 --> 00:49:36.583
The way Boon-Nam
was thrashing in the pool,

00:49:36.666 --> 00:49:39.333
they'll panic at some point
and kill their diver and themselves.

00:49:39.416 --> 00:49:40.375
He's right.

00:49:40.458 --> 00:49:41.458
Governor!

00:49:42.500 --> 00:49:43.875
There's a storm coming.

00:49:44.458 --> 00:49:46.000
One of the largest yet.

00:49:46.083 --> 00:49:49.208
Nothing can hold it back.
It's a tremendous amount of water.

00:49:50.958 --> 00:49:55.041
We should be in the middle
of the storm, by this time tomorrow.

00:49:55.125 --> 00:49:58.166
Forty-eight hours from now,
the pumps will most likely fail.

00:49:58.791 --> 00:50:01.583
A new storm is coming,
and the pumps won't hold.

00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:05.250
If the pumps go, that's it for diving,

00:50:05.333 --> 00:50:07.125
with or without Harry.

00:50:11.458 --> 00:50:12.833
What are the other options?

00:50:13.958 --> 00:50:15.333
We're out of options.

00:50:25.083 --> 00:50:26.416
If I am to do this,

00:50:28.125 --> 00:50:31.250
I need to be in charge
of my own patients' care.

00:50:32.500 --> 00:50:36.000
- Everyone needs to sign off on that.
- Okay. We will.

00:50:41.250 --> 00:50:42.250
Okay.

00:50:44.208 --> 00:50:45.041
I'm all in.

00:50:45.125 --> 00:50:46.791
- Yes!
- Okay!

00:50:47.958 --> 00:50:49.041
Took you long enough.

00:50:53.125 --> 00:50:55.916
My team
has made significant progress.

00:51:00.458 --> 00:51:01.666
What's this?

00:51:05.875 --> 00:51:08.625
I appreciate the valiant efforts
of your team,

00:51:08.666 --> 00:51:11.875
but after speaking with Kiattisak,
I'm inclined to agree

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:16.041
that a slow, steady, and safe approach
is the way to go here.

00:51:16.833 --> 00:51:18.166
We are out of time.

00:51:19.166 --> 00:51:20.416
That is no longer possible.

00:51:20.541 --> 00:51:23.916
There's no time to run the oxygen hose
all the way through the cave.

00:51:24.041 --> 00:51:26.875
Why? What's changed? Tell us.

00:51:26.958 --> 00:51:30.083
Please, minister, we have to launch
the operation right away.

00:51:31.500 --> 00:51:33.333
Or we will never reach the kids.

00:51:34.875 --> 00:51:35.875
Noon.

00:51:36.625 --> 00:51:40.000
She has her boss on.
Listen before we resume.

00:51:40.833 --> 00:51:43.333
The same type of storm
that trapped them is coming back.

00:51:43.416 --> 00:51:45.500
It's going to be stronger than before.

00:51:45.583 --> 00:51:48.541
It's coming off the Indian Ocean
and picking up strength.

00:51:49.500 --> 00:51:52.791
It won't just lock the boys
and the SEALs inside the cave,

00:51:52.875 --> 00:51:54.541
it may drown them altogether.

00:51:54.583 --> 00:51:57.083
It will take months
for the water to recede.

00:51:57.208 --> 00:51:59.541
We'll have no idea
what happened inside until then.

00:51:59.625 --> 00:52:04.416
Listen. How can you be sure
this storm will be so severe?

00:52:07.333 --> 00:52:08.666
Hello, minister.

00:52:08.750 --> 00:52:11.208
We had the foresight
to install a weather station

00:52:11.291 --> 00:52:13.125
in the mountains at Doi Pha Mee.

00:52:13.166 --> 00:52:14.458
I can confirm.

00:52:17.291 --> 00:52:20.083
Minister, we all wanted the safest route.

00:52:23.500 --> 00:52:26.666
In fact, I always hoped
your plan would win out in the end.

00:52:27.500 --> 00:52:30.625
I don't want to see those boys suffer
the way Petty Officer Sam did.

00:52:32.041 --> 00:52:33.125
That kind of grief,

00:52:34.916 --> 00:52:36.625
probably would destroy me.

00:52:38.583 --> 00:52:41.083
But the circumstances have shifted again.

00:52:41.958 --> 00:52:45.208
We are working
at the whim of forces greater than us.

00:52:45.291 --> 00:52:46.666
We can either bend

00:52:47.500 --> 00:52:48.500
or break.

00:52:54.958 --> 00:52:56.166
What is your idea?

00:52:57.625 --> 00:52:59.458
Master Sergeant, please.

00:53:00.791 --> 00:53:02.875
We have a series of complex problems

00:53:02.958 --> 00:53:05.916
we've broken down into manageable
and surmountable chunks.

00:53:13.125 --> 00:53:15.083
What kind of drugs will you use?

00:53:15.125 --> 00:53:17.458
Uh, Ketamine for sedation.

00:53:17.500 --> 00:53:19.333
I'll administer that myself.

00:53:19.458 --> 00:53:23.625
And once the diver and boy have gone
through the first sump into chamber 8,

00:53:23.666 --> 00:53:28.416
my colleague Craig will be waiting
to assess the boy and his breathing.

00:53:28.500 --> 00:53:31.750
All things going well,
we will proceed with the next boy.

00:53:33.208 --> 00:53:35.500
What do you estimate
is the chance of success?

00:53:36.125 --> 00:53:37.375
Uh...

00:53:42.291 --> 00:53:43.291
Minister.

00:53:45.250 --> 00:53:48.708
It's impossible to guarantee 100% success.

00:53:49.375 --> 00:53:54.208
We have to let go of our grief,
our desperation for complete success.

00:53:54.791 --> 00:53:56.416
We are all grieving.

00:53:56.500 --> 00:53:58.875
We are all haunted by Ja Sam's death.

00:54:05.291 --> 00:54:07.958
But we have to take a risk again.

00:54:15.625 --> 00:54:17.125
Seventy-five percent.

00:54:22.416 --> 00:54:23.458
Fifty percent.

00:54:26.708 --> 00:54:27.791
Thirty percent.

00:54:29.208 --> 00:54:30.625
We will lose two-thirds,

00:54:30.708 --> 00:54:34.166
and most likely it's going to be
the smallest kids that won't make it.

00:54:38.916 --> 00:54:40.333
If we do nothing,

00:54:43.250 --> 00:54:44.666
the chance of death is...

00:54:44.750 --> 00:54:46.375
...close to 100%.

00:54:48.125 --> 00:54:49.708
I'll be the first to bend.

00:54:58.791 --> 00:55:00.041
At the very least,

00:55:01.208 --> 00:55:02.291
these families

00:55:03.375 --> 00:55:05.416
deserve to bury their sons.

00:55:07.916 --> 00:55:10.375
We should not let them drown in the cave.

00:55:10.916 --> 00:55:14.583
Either way, I don't like it,
but this is the plan.

00:55:33.166 --> 00:55:34.208
Minister.

00:55:37.750 --> 00:55:38.875
Six days ago,

00:55:39.583 --> 00:55:41.916
I asked the team here
to believe in these boys.

00:55:42.916 --> 00:55:43.916
To see this through.

00:55:45.666 --> 00:55:50.041
Even though for ten days
the boys had no food or water.

00:55:50.791 --> 00:55:54.250
At that moment,
a lot of people around here

00:55:54.916 --> 00:55:58.458
believed that those boys
could not have survived.

00:56:01.166 --> 00:56:02.166
But they still live.

00:56:05.708 --> 00:56:07.333
They will survive this also.

00:56:08.791 --> 00:56:13.208
Their parents and guardians
have signed the release for the dive

00:56:14.250 --> 00:56:16.166
despite knowing the risks involved.

00:56:19.875 --> 00:56:22.041
Those brave kids have trusted all of us.

00:56:26.291 --> 00:56:29.666
We must have trust
in ourselves so they can survive this.

00:56:40.500 --> 00:56:43.750
You, you, you, you, and you,

00:56:43.833 --> 00:56:44.833
please join me.

00:56:56.916 --> 00:57:00.041
Hello, sir. I have something
you need to hear.

00:57:00.875 --> 00:57:01.916
Yes.

00:57:04.916 --> 00:57:06.458
Repeat what you just said.

00:57:06.541 --> 00:57:07.541
All of it.

00:57:15.708 --> 00:57:19.750
This is Master Sergeant James Nichols
of United States Air Force.

00:57:20.250 --> 00:57:23.083
I have my commanding officer,
Major Charles Hensen,

00:57:23.166 --> 00:57:25.166
Governor Narongsak, Admiral Appakorn,

00:57:25.250 --> 00:57:27.166
and Dr. Richard Harris here with me.

00:57:28.125 --> 00:57:29.458
Here is the mission brief.

00:57:31.541 --> 00:57:33.666
We have a series of complex problems

00:57:33.750 --> 00:57:37.250
we've broken down into manageable
and surmountable chunks.

00:57:37.333 --> 00:57:39.541
He's gonna send us home...

00:57:39.625 --> 00:57:40.750
...so maybe that was it.

00:57:56.041 --> 00:57:57.083
It's a green light.

00:58:01.416 --> 00:58:03.625
Our mission to rescue the Wild Boars

00:58:05.166 --> 00:58:06.166
begins now.
