20 Ft Below: The Darkness Descending Page #2

It's gonna be bad.

Better make sure Central

gets locked up.

Oy, put this in

your little diaries.

Someone want to play? Oh, yeah.

Here we go, a real, live crack

ho in our presence here.

How much for an hour, there,

cutie?

Get her, Matt. Get her,

get her!

Ow!

Hey!

Jake!

What are you doing?

What the hell is the

matter with you?

You can't have freedom

without a little danger.

You can't have art without

a lot of freedom.

I'll take my chances

with the freedom.

Whoa! Sorry, there, cowboy,

didn't mean to scare you.

I'm not scared.

Okay, well then I didn't mean

to scare me... and him.

Are you okay?

Look, I don't want to bother you, but I'm

doing a film about life in the tunnels...

and I hear you're a cop, so...

He was a cop. He was a cop.

Yes, thank you, Skeeter.

Hey, I got you, Jake, we're

good, we're g...

Either way, I think you probably have

a really interesting perspective.

So, how about it? You want to

share some war stories?

I would love to get the law and

order point of view.

Law and order point of view?

Okay, here it is.

Down here there's law, but

there's no goddamn order.

No justice, no nothing. Okay?

So why don't you take your camera,

and get your ass back upstairs...

where you belong, this

isn't Disneyland.

People die down here...

all the time.

Charming... that one.

Always a sweet guy... Jake.

Well, you don't need him,

you got me.

Look at who you got? You got

me. You got the Skeeter man.

Skeeter man can take you

anywhere you want to go.

I can show you the ropes. I can show you,

if you need to use the restroom.

I can take you to the bathroom if you want,

but I would never look. I wouldn't never watch.

Okay, Skeeter, well there's something

I've been hearing about him.

Maybe you can help me.

Oh, yeah? Well, yeah, well,

let's... let's do that then.

Where you want to go?

What do you know about Angel?

There's a song.

She got a bag, she...

Skeeter, drags

everywhere and she...

What do you know about Angel?

Skeeter?

Well, you know...

Skeeter.

This is delicious. Would you

like to try some?

No.

It's really not bad. It

smells funny.

All right, I'm gonna

go find Angel.

Well, y...

You should wait for me.

You know... you know, people,

they come down here.

They're good people, they want

to do what's right.

They got this dream, they got this idea

where they want to be a mechanic...

or they want to be a football

player or whatever.

And they got this way that life's

gonna turn out for them...

but you take this turn,

you take that turn, boom, you're lost.

When that happens down here

to them, it's sad.

It happens a lot down here.

Hey, well, here it is.

I showed you.

It's nice. It's a little dirty,

but...

So, exit stage left, we're

gone. We're out of here. Right?

No, no, no, no. No, it's

this way, though.

Left is this way. You can't...

you can't go in there.

Okay, captain's log,

star date 57372.

It's now.

We are here in the eighth circle of hell,

or is this the first?

It's the one at the bottom.

We are looking for someone who

some say is just an urban legend.

One of the many legends that

fill these tunnels.

I wonder if we should go back

that way, maybe...

A man named Angel.

Don't say that, you can't

say that. Skeeter.

You don't want to say that,

he'll come and burn... he'll eat your face.

He'll eat your face right off.

You're so pretty.

Stop, okay?

Skeeter, you're the one who

brought me here.

I did not. Don't say that.

Don't say that out loud.

I didn't bring her here. I

didn't bring her here.

I found her here. I told her to go,

but I didn't bring her here.

Please, don't say it. Don't

say I did, please?

Okay... now I'm alone.

Fantastic.

Well, well, well, what

do we have here?

You smell special.

Oh, my god, I'm so sorry. I

didn't mean to intrude.

I didn't mean to intrude.

My name's Chelsea.

I'm doing a film about life

in the tunnels...

and I'm looking for

someone named Angel...

and a friend of mine said he

might live around here.

Seek and you shall find...

as they say.

Angel.

At your service, my lady.

Welcome to my world.

Um, thanks.

It's great to meet you. I've heard a

lot of different things about you.

I'd love to ask you some

questions, if you don't mind.

So many questions, now are you

ready for the answers?

Answer. Answer.

Yeah, yeah, I think so.

Then why are you shaking? Are

you scared of the dark?

Maybe a little. Isn't everyone?

And out of the darkness came the

hands that reached through nature.

Molding Man, Lord

Alfred Tennyson.

Be aware of the dark side...

Yoda.

So, can you tell me a little

bit about your life down here?

Be careful, once you taste the

darkness, it seduces you.

Draws you in until you

become part of it.

What exactly seduces you,

the freedom?

Freedom? What do you know

about freedom?

You live in a little

box of a world...

a world of illusion

they sell you.

The illusion that you are free,

you're not.

But don't worry, you'll

soon be free.

A revolution is coming.

Revolution? What kind

of a revolution?

Those who make peaceful

revolutions impossible...

make violent

revolutions inevitable.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

That's before he got his head

blown off, of course.

A violent revolution?

When a society is broken,

it must evolve.

There are three and a half million

so-called homeless people in this country.

Half of which are children,

invisible to your society...

that spends billions of dollars

killing children a world away...

protecting their own corruption,

making the fat fatter, the rich richer.

It's time to evolve, and violence has

always been the fuel for evolution.

Look, I'll admit that there are problems,

but I think it hardly justifies...

Justify? I don't need to

justify myself.

Only the weak justify what they

do, the strong do it.

I could kill you right now.

Do you think I would spend one

minute justifying it?

Not even. I would embrace it.

Experience every pure,

beautiful moment.

That's true power.

You are ruled by fear.

I am fear.

You belong to me.

And you still smell special.

Now go!

While you still can.

Tell the world what you've seen,

so they too can be scared of the dark.

Get out.

Get out!

Look, you can't be soft on these

people or they'll walk all over you.

You gotta carry a big stick...

and I've got the biggest

stick of them all.

Get 'em out of here.

I'm sorry, ma'am, let's go!

Get out of here!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let go of me!

Hey, hey! Take it easy.

Guy was resisting arrest...

scumbag.

That's sick, I just put my

hands on your scumbags.

You, you do your job.

I don't know, you know, I think

you can be good to people.

I mean, I'm just starting out, but I think

you really can, you know, help people out.

Give them a little something

when they need it, you know?

It's tough sometimes, but serve

and protect, right?

That's what it's all about.

Don't turn around, just go!

I'm going. I'm going!

You're going with me.
