Part 4/9:
As they drift, the crew faces deeper challenges: thirst, hunger, and waning morale. Attempts to fish lead to numerous failures, and when Gene finally catches a shark, it brings both relief and new dangers. The ensuing blood attracts more sharks, heightening their precarious situation. Each passing day intensifies their feeling of despair, particularly for Tony, who contemplates using his gun in a moment of hopelessness. Yet, their dire straits also spur acts of resilience and resourcefulness, leading to moments of triumph that temporarily alleviate their grim reality.
