"So this is what we're doing, huh? We're just sailing out." JJ says, "We're just gonna forget about John B? We should never have left him. We're turning back."
"No! We're all gonna get caught." Cleo says, "What type of plan is that?"
"It's a plan to stick together, Cleo."
"Then we are dead together." Cleo snaps
"She's right." Kie says, "We had to leave, or we'd all be zip-tied in the back of a pickup. We did the right thing."
While Estrella appreciated Kie's words, she felt terrible. They had all gone through so much to rescue Kie and herself and although they had no choice but to leave him, it didn't make her feel any better. She lets out a sigh as she continues to look out into the water. She turns back as the phone starts to ring, "Who's that?"
"It's Portis." Kie says
"Portis? That's John B." JJ says running over and grabbing the phone, "That's definitely John B. Hold on. Yo! Dude! Is this you?"
"Speaker. Speaker." Kie says
"What... Do you need us to turn around?" JJ says before pulling the phone away and putting it on speaker, "Yo, say it again. Say it again."
"I said don't worry about me, okay? Look, it's way too hot here. You gotta get out of here. Go back to OBX."
"We do not copy. Can you..."
"Let me talk to him." Sarah says taking the phone, "John B?"
"Sarah." He says, but his voice comes out distorted
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. I'm fine. Everything's good. Listen."
"He's fine. Thank God." She says, "What happened?" As soon as John B speaks, the phone begins to break up. Sarah frowns, "Wait. What'd you say? John B?"
"Sarah?"
"I... I can't hear you." She says, "John B?"
"Get out of there. I'll meet you on Kildare, okay?"
"Kildare, when? Kildare.." Sarah tries until the phone hangs up, "John B! No, no, no. John B!"
"Kildare. What the hell?" Estrella says
"You guys think he found his father?" Cleo asks
"He's been missing for almost a year." Pope adds
"Sarah, what do you think?" Kie asks, "Should we go back?"
"Sarah... We're sitting ducks. We need to make a decision. Are we turning back around, or are we gonna keep going?" JJ says. When Sarah stays silent, he groans, "Sarah, come on! Sarah, we need to make a decision!"
