Ashley, I ask you to wait.

I'm sorry. It was getting cold and I'm hungry.

Probably not even good anymore.

Okay. Just sit. Eat. Fine.

I don't know why I expect anything from your sister

at this point.

Relax, Mom.

Her flight's probably just delayed.

Uh. Not delayed, I checked.

Maybe traffic.

We're in Bartlesville.

There's, like, seven cars here.

Well, I'm sure she's fine. She's always fine.

Until she's not.

Wait, wait, wait, I barely started.

Am I late to the party?

Miranda! How was Rome?

Fantastic.

Get in here!

I missed you!

Miranda, stop! You're gonna break something.

Oh.

Are you kidding me?

Mom, it was an accident.

You don't even like that vase anyway.

Okay.

Mom, I didn't mean to.

Thanks, Ashley.

Here.

Thanks.

Yeah. Thanks, Ash.

It was her fault, you know.

She got those long noodle legs.

I have regular legs.

No long noodles.

Are you drunk?

What?

Are you drunk?

Barely.

Ash, go to your room.

I know what being drunk is.

I took a cab.

I'm 22. I'm allowed to drink.

Were you late because you were out getting drunk?

Late?

I didn't know I had a curfew.

Well, you said that your flight landed at 3:00,

that you'd be coming home after and you were staying with us.

Yeah. And I also said, don't wait up for me

and that I'll let myself in.

I haven't seen you for months.

Of course I'm going to wait up.

And I made your favorite meal.

Okay, well, I didn't ask you to make my favorite meal, Mom.

Mom. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I was with my travel group at the airport.

We wanted to get goodbye drinks.

One drink led to.

Are you seriously gonna walk away from me mid-conversation.

When you have something new to say?

Text me.

Well, I really screwed that up, didn't I?

How honest do you want me to be?

Probably not too honest.

She made a really nice dinner, just FYI,

and she's been checking her phone

for literally two hours.

Yeah, I know she can be a lot, but--

I know, I know, I'll talk to her.

Yeah.

Can we try that again?

Mom, I wasn't.

I'm sorry.

Fine.

Go.

What?

Start again.

Mom! Hey.

So good to see you.

I missed you so much. And thank you for making dinner.

That was really thoughtful of you.

I'm gonna eat the leftovers in the morning.

It's gonna be great with my hangover.

Mhm.

How was that?

B minus.

You lost points for the hangover joke.

Okay, fair.

I'm so happy to see you, honey.

I promise it's not tequila, okay?

I learned my lesson after Mexico.

Okay. Let's see.

Let's see.

I found it for you in Rome.

Damn it. Did I bungle it again?

After your accident, I saw two butterflies

that looked just like this right outside the hospital window.

And it was so comforting.

I felt like... an angel

was giving me a message

or a sign that everything would be okay.

I know.

That's why I got it for you.

Thank you, honey.

I love it.

You're welcome. Mom.

I love you.

So how long are you staying this summer?

I have so many activities planned.

About that... Um, I actually booked a trip.

Another trip?

Yeah.

Where? When?

Belize.

Belize?

Where do you get all this money to travel with?

I work, Mom.

And when I'm not working, I'd rather enjoy my life

than sit at home all day.

Ouch. That felt like a criticism.

I just want to set a good example for Ash.

I want her to embrace life and explore the world,

not just to--

Be like me.

That's not what I mean.

It's what you mean.

When do you leave?

Monday.

So I get what? Uh... let's see.

Thirty hours after waiting for four months.

Do you even want 30 hours with me?

How can you say that?

Just tell me who you're going with.

I hope it's somebody responsible.

Here we go again.

I am serious, Miranda.

You need to live in the real world.

Do you know that women die all the time traveling alone?

So do men.

People die sitting on their couch

in their living rooms, Mom.

I'd rather live my life

than be afraid of everything all the time.

I was supposed to go with my roommate, but she bailed.

So I'm going alone, and I'm gonna be fine.

This is ridiculous. Alone?

How is that ridiculous? I'm an adult.

Acting like a child.

Okay. Great talk, Mom.

You know, I just-- I wish you wouldn't be so--

What? You wish what, Miranda?

What?

Never mind.

Good night, Mom. Love you.

Ignore the boxes in your room, Miranda.

I was going to take them to storage on Monday, but--

Now I guess that's unnecessary.

You had adventures.

No way.

Hey.

Surprised to see you up so early.

Yeah. Jet lag. Hangover. Name a thing.

Not trying to treat you like a child, Miranda.

Really I'm not. I'm just...

Worried about you.

I remember being young

and feeling so invincible, like...

everything's just going to work out.

But you like to go hard,

push yourself too far.

You get caught up in the moment and you lose track

of what's going on and--

My accident happened a long time ago, Mom.

Not really. Not that long.

It was a loose rock. I had a bad grip.

Rock climbing accidents happen all the time,

and most people end up perfectly fine.

You got lucky, honey.

Whatever. I'm fine.

I love that you were so fierce and that you feel so free.

I admire it even.

But sometimes you have to be realistic.

The world can be a wonderful place,

but it can also be very dangerous,

especially if you're not

paying attention or you're not aware of what can happen.

And I just, I, I do not think

that you should go on this trip by yourself.

Yeah.

I agree.

You do?

Yeah.

I think you should come with me.

Miranda.

I'm serious.

When were you gonna tell me

that you used to be a freaking Rambo?

Oh, gosh.

I mean, look at you. My mom is G.I. Jane.

That was a long time ago.

Not that long. Not really.

I think that badass is still in there.

And I know you're, like, totally obsessed

with hanging out with me, so, you know, this is your way.

Okay. What about your sister?

Nice try.

Her volleyball camp starts Monday.

She wrote me about it. She was very excited.

Okay.

Mom, please.

I'm asking you to do this for me.

To share something with me.

Maybe it's our chance to,

you know, be like us again.

Besides, it's very unsafe for me to travel by myself.

I heard, actually, that women traveling alone

die all the time.

Oh.

You know, so I need someone brave and strong to protect me.

Ideally someone with a machete.

Mhm.

Yeah, you do.

I'm going to Belize. We're going to Belize.

We're going to Belize.

This could flip at any time.

Oh, my God, Mom. Stop worrying and enjoy.

Look around.

Hello, my friends.

Welcome to Paradise.

I'm Javier, the resort manager, and I'm here to make sure

that your stay with us is perfect.

Two beautiful sisters. What a sight.

Mother, daughter, but nice try.

Mother daughter vacation. Wow.

My mom would be so jealous right now.

I have a teenage sister and she doesn't want to hang out

with us anymore.

She's always.

See, Javier's mom would be so jealous of you right now.

How old is your sister?

16 and to be honest,

we'd be lucky if we get a hello in the morning, you know?

I know exactly how your mom feels.

In the beginning, you are their best friend.

And then you just turn into a stranger

who drives them, feeds them.

Hey, at least I tip well.

So how do you guys like it so far?

It's beautiful.

Oh, you haven't seen anything yet, trust me.

So here we are.

I have you two in our best bungalows.

Stand in front of the door and check out the view.

Oh.

Wow.

I mean, you know, I usually stay in hostels.

Like I said, if I'm coming, we're staying in style.

Well, I'm definitely not complaining.

It's gorgeous.

Okay, let's go get dinner. I'm starving.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm never leaving.

It looks delicious.

So does he.

Oh.

Yeah.

So why don't you go get some water for us?

I was thinking Mai Tai's.

Okay. Water's fine, honey.

Okay.

On it.

Thank you.

-Hey. -Hi.

What can I get you?

Um.

Do you have any mocktails?

What?

Let me guess. First time in Belize.

Is it that obvious?

Well, not many people order mocktails around here.

Well, I'm trying to keep it PG tonight.

I'm here with my mom, and she's not a big drinker.

That's sweet.

I got you.

Where are you from?

Oklahoma.

Hey, is everything all right here?

Are you and your daughter settling in?

Yes. We're having a great time. Thank you.

Awesome.

I never tried this one.

He's a nice guy. Don't worry.

It's her I'm worried about.

She doesn't have a shy bone in her body.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Thank you.

Let's see.

That's so good.

I barely noticed there's no alcohol.

You're welcome.

I'm Luke.

Miranda.

How long are you staying, Miranda?

A week.

Well, if ever you want to keep it not so PG one night,

let me know.

Oh, I will.

I ask for waters.

I know. Try it.

You know, it's frustrating when I communicate to you

that I want waters, and then you bring this Mom.

-Mom. -Miranda,

if you want a drink, that's your prerogative.

But I'm not interested in drinking alcohol.

-Mom. -Miranda, what?

Their mocktails.

Oh.

Try it.

Okay.

I thought we got to cheers to something

a little special, you know?

Mm.

That's something a little special.

Two adventures together.

Two adventures together.

♪

Mm.

Thank you.

Whoo!

Mmm!

Is it spicy?

Oh, my God, it's so spicy.

I want more.

Oh!

Mom!

Mom! Ew!

All right, Mom.

I'm watching you.

Woo!

Are you sure that my things are safe?

Yes, Mom.

Your ID and money is safe with me.

Unless I get hungry or thirsty

or want to buy a little vacation house here.

Oh!

It is so nice to see the ocean again.

I mean, it's incredible.

Look at it.

Did you know that I used to have my scuba certification?

Are you serious? You scuba dive?

Yes.

I spent a week on South Padre Island.

I was, I think around your age,

I saw a barracuda that was bigger than me.

That's so cool.

Yeah, it really is.

And on the last day, one of our divers was separated

from the rest of the group.

He, um, he wasn't paying attention to the currents.

He got caught up in the beauty of it,

which is very easy to do.

I mean, I haven't thought about this in so long, but...

I was the one who brought him back.

Wait. My mother is a real-life superhero.

Come on.

Hardly. Mom, I feel like there's so much I don't know about you.

Oh, look.

-Wow. -It's so beautiful.

The bond between a mama dolphin and her calf

is one of the strongest relationships

in the animal kingdom.

God creates magical creatures.

Isn't that that cute American bartender?

Oh.

Yeah, I didn't notice.

Mhm. Right.

I didn't.

Javier tells me he's a super nice guy.

I think you should go say hi.

No, Mom. I'm not just gonna.

It's fine.

It's one night. We have the whole week.

I'm exhausted. It's beautiful out.

Just go say hi.

Okay. Just for a little bit.

I'll be back before you go to bed.

Deal.

And thank you for the most wonderful day.

I haven't had this much fun in a long, long time.

Me neither.

All right, have fun.

But remember, make good choices.

Yeah. Thanks, Mom.

I'll make sure he wants to go steady first.

This sunset is incredible.

These colors.

Wild, right?

This place is magical.

How long have you lived here?

Oh, I don't live here.

My dad was born here in Belize,

and I've been coming every summer for almost a decade now,

I guess.

Yeah. Javier is my cousin.

When my dad passed, he became like a brother to me.

Yeah, he hired me at the hotel,

and it really helped me find peace after the loss.

I'm sorry about your dad.

Everything here reminds me of him.

Do you want to go for a night swim?

Don't worry,

there's only little baby nurse sharks around here.

Sharks? Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

Wow. You didn't strike me as a scare type.

Hey. I'm not.

Except sharks.

They're literally babies.

Yeah, man.

Can you imagine the headline Young American tourist

gets eaten by baby sharks.

I'm not going out like that.

The key is staying calm.

Yeah, well, then I've already failed.

I'm serious.

Sharks hunt injured prey, so they're drawn to movement.

Gotta stay still.

Move slow.

Maintain eye contact.

They thrive on the surprise.

Okay. Here's what we're doing today.

We're renting a boat.

We're snorkeling.

We're swimming around the island.

The world's our oyster, Mom.

We should get oysters.

Where have you been?

I was with Luke.

You told me that you were going to be home

before I went to sleep.

I know, but--

I was up all night worried sick.

I called you 20 times.

Well, my phone died, okay? I didn't realize till later.

So that's when you borrow Luke's phone or anybody's phone

to let your mom know that you're alive.

Mom, I was fine.

How would I know that?

You told me to go with him.

For a few hours, not overnight.

You don't even know this guy.

He could have kidnapped you or worse.

Kidnapped me or worse?

Mom, you got to relax a little bit.

No.

You know, Miranda, if you wanted to stay longer,

that's your business.

But you could have had

the decency to let your mother know.

I didn't think that it was good.

No you didn't, and you never think about anybody else.

I am serious.

You left me alone, waiting again.

I didn't ask you to wait.

Go out.

Have fun.

Do something.

I thought you were dead.

You see, Mom, that's crazy.

I mean, do you hear yourself?

I'm gone one night and you think I'm dead?

Yeah.

I don't know this place.

I don't know these people.

I don't know who I can trust.

Who you can't trust.

Mom. I could be asleep in the bed next to you,

and you'd still wake up thinking the blanket suffocated me.

No.

Ever since my accident, your whole life is fear.

I actually don't think you know how to live any other way.

And that's fine, I guess. That's you.

But I'm not going to stop living my life

just because you stop living yours.

Well, I am just trying to protect you.

It's not protection, Mom. It's smothering.

Why do you think I travel so much?

Why do you think I'm never home?

This is why.

I can't breathe around you.

Okay. Where are you going?

I don't know, renting a kayak, getting oysters.

Miranda, it's not safe to go in the water alone.

Oh my God.

I'm serious.

I'll be fine.

Try not to spend the whole day cowering under a table.

Wow.

♪

Gracias.

They fall every morning.

They're beautiful.

They are.

But if you're not careful,

you're going to get pollen all over your shoes.

Oh. Yeah.

Maybe it's God's way of reminding us that

the best things in life can be a little bit messy.

Yes, they can be.

For you.

Sure.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Would you like to come inside?

Yes. Thank you.

♪

God grant me patience.

And keep her safe.

Oh, shoot.

Ow! Ow!

Can you help me?

I cut myself on the reefs.

All right, you're gonna be okay. Just stay calm.

Can you get her leg up? We need to stop the bleeding.

You're gonna be okay. Just stay calm. All right?

We called the doctor. She's on her way.

Would you help me? Just get it as tight as you can.

Okay.

You'll be okay.

-Hey, what's your name? -Danielle.

Okay, Danielle,

we're gonna try to get you into the restaurant.

There's a big storm coming.

We don't want to get you guys caught out here.

All right. Here, let's get you up.

Thank you so much for your help.

I think we got it from here.

Once you get that bandaged up,

they'll help you out inside

but you got a free round of drinks on me.

No one likes getting hurt on vacation.

Okay.

Hey. Thanks for your help.

-Luke, right? -Yes.

Joan. Miranda's mom.

Of course. Uh. Girls trip.

How are you enjoying your stay?

Yeah, yeah, it's-it's fine.

Where's Miranda?

She took out a kayak.

Oh. When?

A few hours ago.

Did she say when she'd be back?

No, not really. Did you mention a storm?

Yeah.

Because those clouds look really dark.

Yeah. They are. Have you tried calling her?

No.

Good idea.

She's not picking up.

I bet she stopped at a neighboring beach.

Tourists do that all the time.

All right, I want to go talk to the kayak rental owner.

Maybe he knows something.

Good idea. If you want, I can go with you.

-He's a friend. -Yep. Let's go.

I should probably get back.

Oh, boy.

I told her she needed to be here before sundown.

She should have circled this island

and been back here by now.

But she isn't. So what do you do?

Is there a police officer

we can call or an emergency professional?

I'll call the Coast Guard.

Thank you.

Hold on, baby.

Hold on.

Come on!

Let's go!

Come on.

We're going to do everything we can

to get your daughter back here safe and sound.

Thank you.

Most likely she was exploring the area

and currents pushed her out to another beach.

She could have landed somewhere safely around here.

It could have been here or even here

if she was really feeling adventurous.

She's always feeling adventurous.

The further you get from our beach here,

the rougher the terrain,

which is why we advise visitors to stay close.

Small boats often move between beaches without checking in,

so just because she hasn't been logged in anywhere yet

doesn't mean that's not what happened.

I bet money she's here. Crystal Bay.

Okay. Can we contact someone there at Crystal Bay

and see if she dropped her boat?

I've made a missing vessels report.

We're sharing it with all the nearby boats and beaches.

If somebody sees a boat or anybody resembling Miranda,

they'll notify me immediately.

Great.

The people here are very nice.

Someone could have taken her in and sheltered her for the night.

We'll find her tomorrow. I know it.

It's happened before.

We'll be in touch.

If we don't hear anything by morning,

patrol crews are standing by. -By morning?

What if she didn't land at one of these other beaches?

And what if the currents and the storm took her out here?

We have to go look for her right now.

I know you're worried, but with the visibility this low

and seas this rough,

sending smaller rescue boats out tonight

could create a second emergency.

Right now, we risk losing more people than saving her.

At first light, we'll cover a lot more water safely,

and we'll have additional crews and bigger boats coming in

from Belize City.

Yeah.

Can someone...

survive this?

How strong is your daughter?

She's strong.

Hold on to that.

Thanks, man.

Okay.

Is there anybody you know who knows these waters?

Who will go up there and search for her tonight?

Please help me.

I think I know a guy.

I'm going to have to swim.

Stay.

Stay in the boat!

Hello?

Is someone there!

Hello?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, I could've died.

I'm listening.

Right here.

Great.

Manuel's the best sailor I've ever met.

If anyone can take a boat out in this weather, it's him.

Manuel, we need your boat. A woman's lost out there.

In this storm?

Yes. My daughter.

She's all alone out there on the water.

By herself.

Yes. And I can't leave her out there.

We have to find her. Please.

Could you help us?

Look, I have a daughter, too.

And if she was out there,

I'd sail into the middle of a hurricane to find her.

Yeah.

But we've gotta hurry before the storm gets too bad

for even me to sail.

Mine's the first one.

Are you sure you want to come with?

Yes, I have to.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

You got it.

Oh, sh--

A female tourist has been found in a kayak.

Wait, that's her! It's gotta be her.

Thank God.

She was found alive

and is safe.

Returned to her hostel.

Wait.

Did they say hostel?

We're not staying at a hostel.

I couldn't hear. The transmission is very broken.

I'm so happy for you, ma'am. And just in time too.

The storm's getting worse by the minute.

I probably would have had to turn around

pretty quickly out there.

What is it?

I have a bad feeling. I think she's still out there.

Look, ma'am, I can take you out there,

but we don't have much time.

What do you think, Joan? What do you want to do?

I don't know. I don't know.

What if that wasn't her that they found.

But if it is,

Joan, I think she'll want to see her mother.

Right. Okay.

Yes. She would want me to be there.

Okay. Let's go, let's go.

Miranda!

Miranda!

She's not here.

That's why she's not answering.

Okay, we have to go back out.

We can't.

The storm is too strong.

She's out there. We can't leave her.

We've got to go find her.

Look, I promise you, if I could,

I would take you back out there.

But this is too dangerous. We need to wait until morning.

Manuel has a daughter, too, remember?

He has to be safe.

We'll find her.

Where is the shore?

No!

Where is it?

No!

No!

It was a younger girl.

She crashed her kayak into a rock.

I'm really sorry, Joan.

Is the girl okay?

Yeah. She's fine. She's just a little shaken up.

You were right, Mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so scared.

Hold on, honey.

You can make it through the night.

♪

I need to save some for later.

And now I'm talking to myself. Cool.

Yes!

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, let's do this.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Please no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey! Any word?

Did you hear from the beaches?

Did you find her?

We heard back from Emerald Sands and Turtle Shore.

No Miranda.

But that's not necessarily a bad sign.

Like I said yesterday, if she's beached,

she's most likely at Crystal Bay.

It's pretty close, but their cell tower is down,

so let's just hope she's eating a nice breakfast

somewhere on the shore.

Yeah.

In the meantime, our boats are out there searching for her.

Keep the faith, Joan.

I always do.

Joan. Again, I am so sorry about last night.

No, no, no, Luke, It's not your fault.

And I can't fault Manuel either.

But we just have to keep searching for her today.

Do you know how far Crystal Bay is?

There's a bridge.

I think you two can probably go there by car

now that the storm has passed.

Could you take me?

Of course.

The Coast Guard can search by water.

We can search by land.

Let's go.

Good luck guys.

Thank you.

Please just leave me alone.

Please.

Oh.

Wow.

Okay, Mom. I'll follow them.

Have you seen this person?

No.

Okay. If you see her, call the number below, please.

-I do. -Thanks.

Have you seen her?

Okay, if you do, call the number on the paper.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Ma'am.

Have you-have you seen this girl?

No.

Oh, okay.

If you do see her, will you call me?

This number. That number right there on the bottom.

Thank you.

Excuse me, sir.

Um, have you seen this girl?

No, ma'am. Haven't seen her.

All right. If you do, will you call that number?

Sure, I will.

Thank you.

Thank you.

-Anything? -No luck.

Have you seen this woman?

That's my daughter, Miranda. She's missing.

Has she been through here?

No.

Okay. If you see her, could you call that number?

-Will do. -Thank you.

We've been looking for my daughter,

and we thought she would land here with her kayak.

Are you sure you haven't seen her?

I'm sorry, ma'am. I haven't seen her.

There haven't been any kayaks on our beach.

Storm and all, you know.

I know it's not the answer you're looking for.

I feel powerless.

Maybe they can help.

Wow.

Impressive.

We take these things very seriously, ma'am.

The boats have been out there for hours, working hard.

But the visibility is still really bad today.

And it's only going to get worse

with the afternoon storm rolling in.

More storms?

Unfortunately, we only have a few hours left

before it's too dangerous to be out there.

Captain, would you, um-

would you tell your guys I say thank you for taking the risk.

Will do.

Thanks.

Ma'am.

I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter.

Thank you.

We had a fight right before she left,

and I said some really ugly things to her.

If those are the last words that she hears from me.

I'll never forgive myself.

She knows you love her.

Remember, the best things in life are a little bit messy.

Yeah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Please find her.

Please.

Visibility dropping fast. Seas are rough out here.

Copy.

Nothing on our end, Captain. Just empty waters.

No sign of the girl.

Don't stop the search. Not yet.

Stay sharp, but be careful out there.

Understood, Captain. We'll keep looking.

We don't have much time before the storm hits.

Godspeed.

Did they find her?

Not yet.

All right. How much time do we have

until the storm rolls in and shuts down the search.

Not long.

There's an airport here, right?

A small one, yes.

Do you know anybody with a private plane?

Maybe we could spot her from the air.

Go check our contacts.

On it.

Smart lady.

Believe it or not, I used to be a lot like my daughter

back in the day.

I got it.

Oh!

Yes.

Last one.

My water bottle.

The flippers. Get the flippers.

What?

The flippers.

But I need my water to survive!

Trust.

Okay, but I think this is a bad idea.

Okay. Got it. Thanks.

He just got back to me.

So I got good news and bad news.

This guy does have a small plane, and he's down to go up,

but it's going to cost us

$1,200 cash before he moves an engine.

No worries. That's fine.

Oh.

Miranda has all my cash and my cards.

She was keeping them safe for me in her bag.

I have nothing.

Okay. Did you tell him what the plane was for?

Yeah. He said since he's risking his life

and his livelihood, he should be compensated.

I'll have to call the search party back pretty soon.

I'm sorry, Joan.

The storm could come in fast,

and it's too much sea for a handful of boats.

I got a pilot. Said he'd go up $1,200.

Well, that's your best chance.

What do I do?

$150. It's everything I got.

Luke.

It's not much, but it's something.

Thank you.

Thank you both so much.

Okay.

20, 40, 60, 80.

Here's $800.

It's everything we have in the safe.

Javier, I don't even know what to say.

Thanks, man.

All right, so we need $200.

What do I do?

The whole town heard about Miranda,

and they want to help.

I couldn't.

Let them help.

Okay.

I'm Joan.

And my daughter, Miranda.

I mean, many of you have

already heard that she's missing.

She's lost out there on the ocean.

I know you don't know me, but

many of you know what it's like to love your child,

to fight for your child,

even sometimes fight with them.

I have made so many mistakes,

but I can't lose my daughter.

She's my world.

And right now I have a chance, my best chance.

Maybe my only chance.

I need to rent a plane to go up to look for her.

But they need money to take us up.

And I need $200 more.

And I can't do this alone.

So I'm asking for your help.

Anything you can spare,

anything to help me bring my daughter back.

And I'm going to pay you all back, I promise.

Please.

Here, for your daughter.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

God bless you.

Thank you all so much.

I'm going to call the plane.

Swim.

Fight.

Well, Mom.

I guess you were right.

I should have listened to you.

A little late now that I'm here.

And talking to myself.

I don't know who I'm hearing.

I'm losing my mind.

Maybe I could fish.

I'll make a spear.

Thanks, Mom.

Ah! Ah!

Miranda... look.

Land.

Thank you, Mom.

Thank you.

We're gonna find her. I got a good feeling, Joan.

I'm just so grateful to you, to everyone.

We should focus on those three small islands there.

The current could have pulled her that way.

Yeah. That sounds great. We trust you.

Let's do it.

Help me!

Breathe.

Stay still.

No.

What is it?

I'm just thinking about Miranda.

How much she would have loved all of this.

The small plane, spectacular view.

The adventure of it all.

Well, when we find her, we'll owe her a plane ride.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

There!

There!

That could be her.

It's her. It has to be.

Wait.

I'm sorry, Joan.

No, that's-that's not her.

That can't be her.

That's not Miranda.

Thank you.

Another storm's coming in. We're gonna have to turn back.

No, please. We can't give up.

We have to keep looking for her.

The storm's coming too fast. We have to turn back now.

Just a few more minutes. We can't give up.

We have to.

Otherwise, they're gonna have to send search teams after us.

So, tell me something about Miranda,

what's she like?

Hm.

She was brave.

Too brave.

She was on a trip with some of her high school friends.

A rock climbing trip out in Utah.

She'd gotten really into climbing

and she was so good at it.

And no fear.

No fear whatsoever.

But that day on the mountain, she--

She fell.

From pretty high up.

And she spent, you know, weeks in the hospital.

And it was, it was touch and go for a while.

That's terrifying.

Yeah.

It really was.

And that's when I... just sort of lost

all sense of adventure, to say the least.

You know, because I... I thought I lost her.

So I vowed that if God would keep her with me,

I would do everything in my power to keep her safe.

But here we are.

I should have never gone on this trip.

I should've never agreed to this.

This isn't your fault, Joan.

Of course it's my fault. I'm her mother.

Luke...

Thank you.

Thank you for everything that you've done.

I know you didn't have to do it,

but I am so appreciative.

I'm just...

I'm just losing hope.

Anything?

No word.

I spoke with the pilot and, well, with the new development,

we're starting to pack things up.

What do you mean?

Given what you saw out there

and with the storm getting worse,

we have to start winding down the search.

I'm so sorry, Joan.

♪

...I love you, Mom.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Why?

Why are you leaving her out there all alone?

I'm so proud of her.

I'm never gonna be able to tell her.

No!

Help!

Please! Somebody help!

Come home to me.

Coming home, dammit.

Wait for me, Mom!

I'm coming home.

Watch the stars to find land.

Polaris, the North Star.

There.

Oh, no. My oar... Flippers...

Damn it!

Joan!

She's still out there.

She is still out there, I know it.

The Coast Guards--

They packed up.

I understand, but I know that she's still alive.

I can feel it in my gut.

Polaris. She will follow Polaris.

And if we follow that star, we're gonna find her.

I know we will.

I gotta say, I really admire your courage and determination.

You're a very strong woman, Joan.

So is my daughter.

Let's bring her home, then.

Polaris.

So the stars brought me here.

Now what?

Where am I supposed to go?

I can't do this anymore.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I guess this is it.

I'm gonna die here.

Hi, again.

You're so beautiful.

Miranda.

Sit up!

Oh my God!

Hello?

Hello? I'm here!

I'm here.

Anything?

No.

Okay.

Joan, she's been gone for many hours,

and the storms have been bad.

Just a little bit longer, Manuel.

Just a little bit longer.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, I'm here!

Over here.

Damn it!

Flippers.

You knew I needed a swim.

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

I'm just gonna- I'm just gonna swim.

I'm gonna have faith.

Joan, we've been out here for hours, and I--

Oh, my God. It's her.

It's her.

She's swimming towards us.

Miranda!

Miranda!

Miranda!

Can you get us out there?

Wait. Why'd you stop?

What is it?

There's a reef.

I didn't see it before, but look.

It'll tear the boat apart.

No, no, no, no, no.

She's so close. We have to help her.

This is as close as I can get. The rest is up to her.

God, she's barely moving.

We have to do something.

I'm sorry. The boat can't withstand it.

Then we're gonna swim, Manuel!

Don't! No, it's not safe.

I can't leave my boat. We'll all drown.

Well, I'm not leaving her out there.

Is that really you?

It's really me, baby.

When I was out there...

I felt you.

Always by my side.

You gave me the strength to never give up.

I love you so much.

I love you so much, Miranda. Come here.

You're okay.

We are okay.

Thank you.

Hi, honey.

I can't seem to stay awake, can I?

You need your rest. That's okay.

Don't worry about that.

But you do have a visitor.

A visitor? Who?

Mhm.

Oh.

Hi.

Hi.

I'm gonna leave you two alone for a minute.

I'll be back.

I'm really happy to see you.

I think maybe you might owe the kayak guy some late fees.

Thank you.

For everything.

My mom told me what you did.

She hasn't left your side, has she?

I think she's physically incapable of it.

I tell you what, your mom is amazing.

She hasn't slept or ate this entire time.

We wouldn't have found you if it wasn't for her.

She's a real powerhouse.

Yeah.

She's pretty great.

I'm really glad you're okay.

I, uh, I'm from Dallas.

That's where I spend most of the year.

Oh.

That's nice.

What I mean is, Dallas isn't too far from Oklahoma.

If ever you want to go on a second date.

I think that could be fun.

Somewhere on land ideally.

Deal.

They're beautiful. Thank you.

I will find somewhere to put these.

Somebody's got a crush.

Whatever.

I love you, baby.

I love you too, Mom.

Thank you. Thank you all so much.

I don't know what I would have done without you guys.

Yes.

Luke, I'm gonna see you.

See you when I see you.

Yep.

So I'll see you soon.

That'll be great.

Thank you... again.

Thank you.

Take care of yourself.

So, a bunch of new friends?

I guess so.

Mom, you really are amazing.

Oh, I'm pretty sure you're the amazing one.

Everything you've been through.

But listen.

When you're ready,

promise me that you'll get back out there.

All right?

Don't be afraid of the world.

Miranda, you have a lifetime of adventures

in your future.

Thanks Mom.

But I think I could use a break.

Hm.

When we get back, I'm gonna stay home for a while.

If you'll have me.

Oh, I'll have you.

Whatever you need.

And your sister's gonna be so happy.

Yeah.

So, Alaska next winter, then.

Count me in.

I've always wanted to go dog sledding.

Who are you?

I am finally me, I think.

And thank you for that.

Thank you for taking me out of my comfort zone

and reminding me of who I am.

I just-- Next time, could you do it

in a less life threatening, dramatic way, please.

Mom.

So skydiving then?

Oh. Very funny.

Fine. Dogsledding it is.

Dogsledding it is.
