Sanctum Page #2

or we just going to talk about it?

I can't even see the bottom.

Trust me, you're going to love this.

What next?

Would you just relax?

I'm signing for you right now.

Carl, are we doing this thing or what?

You're going to get it in five minutes.

Just two seconds, thanks.

I swear they would still manage

to find him on the moon.

I don't understand what the problem is.

I won't be back till the 13th.

Look, deal with them, will you?

Tell them I'm off the grid

until further notice.

Below!

Dealt with.

Now, Josh, promise me

you won't let me fall.

I promise.

Just feed it through the rack.

Slow and steady like I showed you, okay?

Okay. Okay, sure.

Here we go. Here we go.

I met her on my Everest expedition.

Great. So she's even

crazier than you are.

Yeah. I'm going to marry her one day.

Life's not a dress rehearsal, Josh.

You got to seize the day.

I'll reach the bottom before you.

Oh, you are so about to get spanked.

Unbelievable!

Yeah, it's pretty cool, huh?

Yeah. Amazing.

Carl, Rawlinson again.

Tell him he can kiss my ass.

Wanker.

Son of a b*tch.

Carl likes to play by his own rules.

-You okay?

-Yep, all good.

Okay.

Good to go?

Yeah, let's do it.

See you later.

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan

"A stately pleasure-dome decree

"Where Alph, the sacred river, ran

"Through caverns measureless to man

"Down to a sunless sea"

There once was a man from Nantucket

whose head was the shape of a bucket.

How are you traveling, George?

Are you with us?

Roger that.

I'm all over you, Judes.

Yeah, you wish.

Settle down, you two.

Let's keep the comms clear.

Yeah, well, let's keep

the poetry to a minimum, then, Frank.

Are you good, Liz?

How long to decompress?

All good. About 10 minutes.

Well, I'll see you in a couple of hours.

Age and treachery

will always overcome youth and skill.

I think that's 50 bucks

you owe me, buddy.

Saddle up.

Okey-dokey. Let's do it.

You're with me, Judes?

I'm on your six, Red Dog Leader.

-What? I can't see it.

-Don't worry about it.

We're about 5 meters from the bottom.

Just follow Josh's light.

You're quite the rappel rat.

Yeah, Dad gets me

every summer for a month.

Lucky you.

I've been dragged along

on these stupid expeditions all my life.

See, it never occurs to him to ask

if I actually like caving.

Yep, Josh is his own man.

He doesn't take after his dad much.

You mean I'm not an emotionally

shut-down Nazi a**hole?

True, but he is also the most

determined cave diver in the world.

Yeah. That's because

he's got nothing else.

Here you go.

Whereabouts are they?

Devil's Restriction.

And let there be light.

Let's put it down here and head on.

Roger that.

Hey, hey, hang on! Hang on!

Sh*t, my accelerator is stuck.

Careful, Judes.

Sh*t. Call the scuba police.

Ouch. Drinks are on you tonight, Judes.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's going to be pissed off about that.

Hang on, Judes. Look at this.

What is it?

The silt is pulling

through here pretty fast.

Looks interesting.

Could be a squeeze.

You getting this, George?

Roger that. I'm all good.

What you got there, Frank?

I don't know.

Let's take a peek.

Hey, Vic.

Get some B-roll

for the National Geographic, would you?

Sure.

So, Josh,

do you like caving?

My old man is obsessed

with torches, right?

All cavers are. It's their thing.

Check out what he got me

for my birthday.

It's from a wild boar

that he killed by hand

and ate on his expedition in Borneo.

That's pretty cool, right?

Wrong. He modified it.

Kills this wild boar, eats it,

and then turns it into a torch.

Oh, wow, that's so cool.

No, it's not cool.

That is a caver for you.

They're all, like, "Whoa, I get to

be the first person to check out

"some awesome bit of rock

that looks just like the last 10 miles

"of pointless rock."

It's so lame.

Josh.

You just don't get it, do you?

Your old man,

he's the most respected

explorer of our time.

He's like a Columbus, or Neil Armstrong.

And these rocks, these caves,

man, this is it.

There is nowhere else left

on the planet to explore.

I mean, where else can you shine a light

where no human has been before, huh?

You want to shine a light

where no human has ever been before?

Here you go.

I haven't done this for a while.

Finally some excitement.

He's going in without bail-out.

He's keen.

Jesus, Frank. Just leave it.

That hole is tighter than a nun's nasty.

You sure you're up for this, Frank?

You don't have to come, Judes.

Yeah, right.

Plan the dive and dive the plan, Judes.

Go f*** yourself, George.

That hole looks pretty tight, Judes.

Hope that diet is working for you.

I'm going in after them.

Jesus, Frank.

This is starting to get sporting.

No sh*t.

The re-breather is stuck.

My hose is caught.

I'm wedged.

Frank! Frank, I'm wedged.

It's stuck.

Judes, stay cool.

Deep and slow, Judes.

Panic's the vulture,

sits on your shoulder.

There is always slack somewhere.

It's cool. I've got it.

Roger.

Good girl.

My God! Would you look at that?

He did it. He finally f***ing did it.

Frank, you are one stubborn son

of a b*tch. Look at that.

Since the beginning of time,

no human being has ever seen this.

Look at it.

It's like a cathedral.

St. Judes' Cathedral.

Damn right.

There is an air bell up there.

About 100 feet up.

A big air bell.

George, you've got to see this.

There's got to be a whole

new cave system up there.

I can feel it.

Wow.

Wow.

Wow.

Do you want to go up and have a look?

You want to spend

two hours decompressing?

Let's leave something for Carl.

Okay.

All right, George, we're winding it up.

Roger that.

You've done really good.

We'll have a nice hot cup of tea

ready for you when you get back.

Hey, you've got a bit of a leak.

Let me take a look.

What do you mean? Where?

Christ.

Sh*t. Judes, hold still.

Going for the bail-out, Frank.

Hold still! I've got you. I've got you.

Frank, my bail-out.

Stay with me. Let me take a look.

Get me to the air bell, Frank.

Get me to the air bell.

Judes, it's too far.

We'll never make it. You'll get bent.

Come on, Frank. Come on, Frank,

get me to the air bell.

-Judes, it's too far.

-Jesus, f***!

She's got no bail-out!

I'm flooding.

Stay calm. We're going to buddy-breathe.

We're going to buddy breathe, all right?

Mask, off.

Frank, don't do it!

We're going to lose you both.

Frank. No, no!

No. No, Frank. No, no. No, Frank.

No, Frank! No!

Oh, man.

F***.

See? He just f***ing yanks

the mask away from her.

I don't see it that way, Josh.

Hey! Hey, Josh,

you've got no f***ing idea

what you're talking about.

No, he killed her!

That's bullshit! That's bullshit!

She is dead, and it's because of him.

Listen to me! Listen to me!

-Listen to me! Listen to me!

-F*** off!

Buddy-breathing with a full-face mask

is the most radical thing

you can possibly do underwater.

He was insane to even try it.

It was the most

heroic goddamn thing I've ever seen.

-No, that's bullshit! Bullshit!

-Listen to me.
