What if it's not Calvino?

What if it's not Calvino?

Padre! Padre?

What's that?

- It's a signal relay, for the head cams.

I can ping each unit with this.

- Is that good?

It might be handy if we ever

want to get out of here.

Let's go.

There's more blood on the floor.

What's that?

It's... it's Calvino's.

There's more blood, Gray.

We should go back. We

should get a search party.

No, I can find him myself.

It's wrong down here, Deacon.

It's just echoes. There are

no monsters, no devils.

It's not real Gray, it's not real.

Come on.

F***... f***!

Okay.

Dude, my ears have just popped!

Yeah, I think we're going deep.

Deep into the hill.

What on earth...

What is this?

"Please God, save them and forgive

me. I have a new master now."

It's Mandeville.

- What would Mandeville be doing down here?

Gray.

What the f*** is down here, dude?

Have you ever seen anything

like this before?

Mark?

Deacon. - Did you hear that?

- Mark?

Mark?

Mark?

It's getting tighter.

Mark?

Dude!

What is this?

- Look at that!

Looks like that was a sacrificial altar.

Those cages...

F***, Deacon.

- Dear God.

They killed kids.

Who could...

- Mandeville.

The orphanage.

- Oh f***.

Dear God.

F***, Deacon.

Mark?

Mark, is that you? Mark?

It's okay, I can see him! Mark!

Deacon! Deacon, wait!

Mark!

Just wait, I'm coming! It's me!

Mark! No, Mark, wait! Mark!

Mark? Mark? Where are you? Mark?

Deacon!

Deacon!

- Gray!

Hold on, hold on.

- Dude, help me!

Get me the f*** out of here!

- Okay.

Help me, Deacon!

- Alright, just wait a second. Okay, right!

Gray, give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

Just an inch at a time. That's it,

come on. There you go,

come on. Come on!

One more.

Right, come on. I saw

Mark, he's just ahead.

Mark!

- Deacon, wait!

Mark.

Mark!

Mark! Mark!

Mark!

Mark!

Mark! Mark!

Father Calvino.

Father Calvino, it's Deacon.

We're just coming to get you!

Careful, careful.

It opens a bit here.

Deacon.

My prodigal pupil,

Deacon.

- It's a bit... a bit tight in here.

You alright?

Gray, are you there?

- I'm here, mate.

Hang on!

You alright?

- What is this place? It stinks in here!

Just keep close, okay?

- Okay.

Okay, stop. Stop, Gray!

Stop. It's getting too tight in here.

We'll have to go back.

- I'll turn around, man.

Just back up. Back up.

Just make your way back down!

- It's wet!

Quick as you like.

- It's wet in here!

Deacon, it's blocked this way!

- What?

It's blocked at this end!

Oh God!

Okay, okay, okay...

- It's moving! Deacon, it's moving!

Dude, dig out!

Dig, come on!

Get away from me!

What are we gonna do? Oh God!

- I don't know. I don't know!

Oh God, it burns!

It's burning! Oh God!

You said it wasn't real!

...said it wasn't real!

Our Father, which art in Heaven,

hallowed be thy name...

Oh God! Oh God!
