OLD ROSE

Fifteen hundred people went into the sea when Titanic sank from under us.

There were twenty boats floating nearby and only one came back. One. Six

were saved from the water, myself included. Six out of fifteen hundred.

As she speaks THE CAMERA TRACKS slowly across the faces of Lizzy and the

salvage crew on KELDYSH. Lovett, Bodine, Buell, the others... the reality of

what happened here 84 years before has hit them like never before. With her

story Rose has put them on Titanic in its final hours, and or the first

time, they do feel like graverobbers.

Lovett, for the first time, has even forgotten to ask about the diamond.

Afterward, the seven hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but

wait... wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution which would never

come.

                                                               DISSOLVE TO:

296 EXT. LIFEBOATS / OPEN SEA - PRE-DAWN

MATCHING MOVE as the camera tracks along the faces of the saved.

DISSOLVE TO: ANOTHER BOAT, and then ANOTHER, seeing faces we know among the

survivors: Ismay in a trance, just staring and trembling... Cal, sipping

from a hip flask offered to him by a black-faced stoker... Ruth hugging

herself, rocking gently.
