It's hard, you know? I don't know what else to say You're so far away.
Tell me a story.
A story?
Do you know how it is--
Do you know what you're supposed to do to meet a mermaid?
You go down to the bottom ofthe sea
where the water isn't even blue anymore.
where the sky is only a memory.
and you float there in the silence
And you stay there.
and you decide that you'll die for them
Only then do they start coming out
They come and they greet you and theyjudge the love you have for them.
If it's sincere.
if it's pure.
they'll be with you.
and take you away forever.
I like that story.
What is it?
I think I love you.

- Are you gonna live here permanently? - I don't know
Things have happened so fast We haven't even talked about it.
You're very much in love. I can tell
Yeah, I am.
You have that look.
The look ofa woman who wants a baby
Baby? No.
I haven't even thought of having a baby
I mean, really, God' we'rejust
starting to get to know each other' and it'd be really--
Well, maybe he's not quite ready.
but he's a nice guy, sensitive.
Well, can't have a baby by myself
Why not? I have a baby.
I loved his father.
We're not together anymore' but I have his baby
I n the end' you do it alone anyway.
Enzo Molinari for classification.

I don't know' but it was really long.
Hey, that's not bad.
Bravo, Enzo Magnifico? Bravissimo.
Very good, Enzo. Very good
So what? Anybody can have a bad day.
Well, I've had many' when the sea doesn't want you.
It's never the sea It's Mamma' Roberto, that stupid actress'
Don't break my balls.
Anyway, I have something to tell you
- I'm pregnant - You're kiddingg
I knew you were gonna do that! Because-- No, I'm kidding
No, I wish I was.
Because.
I'll call you back tomorrow, okay? No, I will, I promise
Did you have a nice day?
Enzo had a bad day.
Did you dive?
Nah, it didn't feel right.
It's a cute baby, huh?
I love that baby.
My brother!
Bravo, Enzo, bravo.
Let them try.
Is he okay?
Okay Yes.
- What are they doing? - I don't know
Not good.
Good dive!
How was it?
It was dangerous: 380 feet
4 minutes and 50 seconds under water
Great.
Congratulations!
Thankyou Thankyou very much.
Bravo, Enzo!
Now-- Now--
I'm sure you've heard that some people suggest.
it is too dangerous for us to continue
Dangerous because we don't know how to measure.
the physiological consequences ofthis type ofdive
Also because the scuba divers are not used to going down below 300 feet.
But we asked the free divers.
and they all insist that the competition continue.
Good luck to you all. Good luck
Sir--
One minute.
Three, two, one.
You're going past here?
Do you see him?
Hey, Do you see him?
Move up!
Bravo'Jacques. Bravo
Thankyou.

Four hundred feet. Four hundred feet!
That's fabulous.
You all right?
I'll be right there. Hi Come on in
No, I wanted to say good-bye.
- You're leaving? - Yeah
Could you please give this to Enzo?
Okay.
It's no use.
J ust tell him I said good-bye and give him a kiss for me Okay?
- Promise? - Promise
Maybe you shouldn't give up so easily
Here's a present foryou.
It's your baby.
Yeah.
Believe me' it will change your life.
Only for the better.
You take care ofyourself'Johana.
- You too. - Bye
Thankyou.
Welcome to Greece'Jacques. How are you?
Welcome'Johana. Have a good trip?
Okay, let me give you all the information Come with me.
The smell offish is making me sick.
Why?
Would you get me a glass ofwater?
Are you nervous about the competition?
What's it feel like when you dive?
It's a feeling ofslipping without falling
The hardest thing is when you're at the bottom.
Why?
'Cause you have to find a good reason to come back up.
and I have a hard time finding one
Well, we have the same problem.
Why?
Because I have a hard time finding a good reason to stay.
I found one.
- Is he here? - Yeah
Good.
It scares me when you look at the sea like that.
I used to dive here when I was a boy
I have something I want to talk to you about.
Not here.
Okay.
Can we talk here?
Let's talk about my world.
My world is you.
I love you.
I want to live with you.
I want to have a baby with you.
I want to have a house with you.
A car with you A dog with you.
You know?
Jacques, I think I might be pregnant.
Did you hear me?
God.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day
When Ianalyzedthe data from Mayol's last dive, itBecame apparent???
that at the depths these men are diving.
it is a physiological impossibility
that they can retain enough oxygen in their blood to make it to the surface
The pressure is so strong.
that it stops the oxygen from circulating through the body.
To attempt to break Mayol's record now is simple suicide
Do you understand?
Yes, I understand.
But today's just training.
- Molinari's a 1 7-time world champion. - Three minutes
Do you want to tell him now he can't dive?
Cancel the competition.
Two minutes.
Get Mayol in here.
One minute.
They want to cancel the competition for a while.
Why?
It's not safe, they say.
The doctors say.
we can't go deeper and survive.
You say that because you have the title
No, I would never cheat you.
That's very nice ofyou.
Oh'Jesus' I told you to tell him not to go!
It's not my fault. I told him
- No, no, no, no' - And then they die!
Wonderful.
Get away!
Will you get away? Goddamn it'
- Get away! - Get out'
Give him some time. J ust leave him alone!
Get out!
Clear off!
You were right.
About what?
It's much better down there.
It's a better place.
Push me back in the water.
No, I can't.
Take me back down.
Please.
Oh, look!
- Up with the arms, over the top! - Come on'Jacques'
Let's get a heartbeat. Come on
Come on'Jacques! Come on'Jacques.
Come back'Jacques!
Come on!
Jacques, stay with us!
