got it?

Enough.

Let's keep moving.

This is our chance, Kostya.

You gotta take a shot like this.

Could be your only one.

Where are you, Splint?

You're just gonna

stand there?

You're leading us

out of here.

I can't go any further.

Move. Let's go.

I said move.

Leave her alone

already.

I need to go

to the bathroom.

You need?

I'll show you what you need.

It's all right.

Let her go.

Don't take too long.

Go.

Do it fast.

Help me!

Help me!

What?

What is it?

There there.

Look.

Splint.

What is it, Splint?

What?

What do you say?

Get out of here.

What?

Get out?

Which way is it?

Splint, Splint.

Which way is it,

Splint?

-Is that Splint?

-Splint, right.

So how do we get out?

I don't know.

You said

you knew the way.

I don't.

Where are you going, cop?

Did you see blood

on that helmet?

Yes, I did.

I think we should tell Grom.

Shh.

Grom, Grom,

maybe it's

for the better.

We'll have more money.

We can find the way

without him.

Quiet.

Turn off your flashlights.

What's going on?

What is it?

This is madness.

What kind of person

could do this?

TRACKMAN:

Kostya, Kostya,

get over here.

You need to watch

the hostages.

Kirk, follow me.

Everybody get down now.

Untie my hands.

I won't run.

Shut up, pig.

Looks like a homeless guy

lives here.

What the hell is this?

Kostya sent me here

to get you.

Let's go.

TRACKMAN:

Let's get out of here quick.

Grom, this could be a trap.

Why do you think that?

Just a feeling,

and a bad one.

We should go back

the way we came.

We're sitting ducks here.

Kirk, you take point.

I'll cover you.

Move.

Let us out of here.

-Open the gate.

-Let us out.

Kirk.

Hey, shut up.

Be quiet.

Quiet.

Okay, come on.

You go over that way.

Go make noise.

I'll make noise.

Blow it with a grenade?

No, it'll bury us in here.

ver there.

Look, there it is.

Calm down.

Be quiet.

I saw something moving

down there. I saw it.

-What?

-There's nobody out there.

Shut up.

Everyone keep it down.

Something's there.

I saw it.

Kirk, better go

and check it out.

Shh, quiet down.

DANGER ZONE:

PASSAGE CL0SED

DANGER ZONE:

PASSAGE CLOSED:

-What did you find?

-It's a dead end.

-You checked everything?

-Sure.

We gotta get out of here

without the others.

It'll be easier.

Look, Grom,

let's split the cash

and separate.

What do you say?

Which way

are you going?

It doesn't matter.

The way Splint got here,

on a bike?

I just want my share,

that's all.

Aren't you afraid?

Listen, man,

I'll take it and go.

What if I said

you don't have a share?

I want my share.

I want my money now!

I said

give me it now!

Okay, just calm down,

Kostya.

Come on, come on,

give it here.

Your share?

I got your share

right here, motherf***er.

You want it?

Well, you're gonna get it.

Look at this.

He's got a UV light.

Now tell me,

what the hell

do you need this for?

I saw it.

I saw it.

He was lighting up the wall

with that lamp.

-Now would you do that?

-Splint left markers.

-How did he get here? On a motorcycle?

-I don't know.

-Don't lie to me.

-I swear.

-You were gonna kill us, right?

-Yes.

-Thought you'd get rid of us, huh?

-Yes.

Who else is in on it

with you?

Who's down here?

It's just the two of us,

nobody else.

-I don't believe you.

-I don't know.

I'm gonna count to three.

One ...

-No, really.

-Two ...

Three!

Come on, tell me.

Come on, let's hear it.

Let's hear it.

Nobody else

was in on it.

F***er.

He doesn't know

who it is.

Could be more than one.

Wrap your hand

with this.

That's enough.

We've got to keep alert.

We need a plan.

This way.

Hey ...

they left us.

you going?

Stop, you b*tch!

It's okay.

Stay calm.

-Let me go. Let me go.

-B*tch.

Don't move.

Don't move.

I swear ...

-What is it?

-No no.

-What happened?

-I can't ...

What is it?

I want to know

what the f*** happened.

He was ...

he was there.

Who?

Where's Kostya?

He's gone.

He took him.

He just took him.

All right,

all right.

Now go and join

the others.

Look, just go.

No, I can't go there.

-It's gonna be all right.

-No, it won't.

I can't be alone.

Get your ass

over there.

Go on,

get going.

Stop.

Where are you going?

Come back here.

I'm with Internal Affairs

in the police department.

This is Senior Staff Sergeant

Anatoly Pakhomov.

Put your hands in the air

and come out here now.

That's an order.

And then you'll surrender

yourself to me immediately.

Comply or

we will be forced

to begin opening fire

with intent to kill

and, I assure you,

no prisoners taken.

You all through?

Now listen to me,

Sergeant.

I'm in charge here,

meaning no more speeches.

Am I clear?

Nah, he's off the deep end.

Give me his gun.

What are you doing, Grom?

We're gonna establish

a perimeter.

Stay with the girls.

Right here.

Kirk, maybe we should

split up.

I go right,

you go left.

ne of us has got

to find the way out.

Girls, listen.

Grom is letting us

walk out of here.

This is our chance

for getting out.

We'd better go

while we can.

You can go

if you want to.

I'll stick with Grom.

Grom,

where do we meet up?

Back here

at these trolleys.

h, God, God.

I didn't see.

I'm sorry, really.

I didn't see you.

Olga, Olga.

How could Ol...?

Hold on, Olga.

Hold on.

You'll be okay.

Oh, God.

I couldn't see her.

I couldn't see her.

Olga.

What happened?

Oh, no, Olga.

It was an accident.

It was dark.

I thought it was him and she just

suddenly came out of nowhere.

Came out of nowhere?

Grom gave you that gun

so you could protect us.

And what did you do?

You bastard!

Get out of here.

Grom?

Grom?

You b*tch. Then let Grom

save you for all I care.

I'm getting out

while I'm still able.

Screw you!

Fire, light for once.

Fire, fire, come on.

No, don't. No, don't.

No, don't. No, don't.

No, don't.

No, don't, no.

Come on, hurry.

We've got to meet Kirk.

This way.

Watch yourself.

Come on.

Here, hold this.

Watch your head.

Hey, can you walk?

Oh my God.

Look, it's gonna be

all right.

Grom!

Help me!

Grom!

Grom, help!

Grom!

Katya, Katya,

give me your hand!

Hurry, reach out

your hand.

-All right, go ahead.

-I can't.

Okay, I'll go first.

Grom! Grom!

Grom!

Please, hurry!

Hurry. Hurry.

-Where is everyone?

-They're dead.

-Sh*t.

-Glad you're alive.

I saw him.

I'm pretty sure

he's alone.

He doesn't have

any weapons.

I found a way out,

but he's blocked it.

I got an idea.

We'll smash

through the gate.

We'll ram the trolley

through it.

I think it could be

our only chance.

-How about we use the grenade?

-We'd better.

-Let me.

-Are you okay?

Yeah.

He's close.

I thought I got him,

but I think he survived.

I found Splint's motorcycle.

Watch out!

Run!

Go.

You will never

take my eyes.

Go ahead, jump on.

Katya!

Katya. Katya.

Katya.

Katya.

Oh, sh*t.

Hey, you.

Hey, a**hole.

Where's the girl?

Where is she?

If anything happens to her

I'm gonna tear you to pieces.

You hear me,

you f***ing freak?
