X1, X2 and X3 are crew on a whaling boat. A and B are fanatical members of an

organisation that campaigns for putting an end to whaling. A and B continuously

ram their boat into the whaling boat in an effort to damage it. X1 fears that the

actions of A and B might gouge a hole in the hull of the whaling boat, causing it to

sink. In an effort to stop them, X1 blasts A and B from their boat with his boat’s

water cannon. A and B fall into the water. A drowns. In the meantime, B gets hold of

a lifebuoy, and hangs on to it. The lifebuoy is meant for one person but can keep a

maximum of two people afloat. Meanwhile, it transpires that the whaling boat has

indeed been damaged, and is busy sinking. X2 and X3 swim up to the lifebuoy, and

try to hold on to it. The three men start sinking. B and X2 both hit X3, who cannot

swim well and is very overweight, until he releases his hold on the lifebuoy and

drowns. X1, X2 and B are saved.
