The Cave Page #5

Synopsis: Decades after a rock church in communist Romania's Carpathians caved when an expedition caused a landslide and buried everyone, Dr. Nicolai's scientific team exploring the associated Templar Knights monster fighting-legend discovers a deep, flooded cave system and hires the brothers Jack and Tyler's brilliant divers team to explore it. Another explosion traps them, after finding a mysterious parasite turning all species carnivore, and later an independently evolved predator species. Jack may be infected and turning, but Tyler sticks with him, so the group splits, hunted by the monsters, which also fly.

This is the way. We walk until it opens up again.

(Rattling)

Run. Run!

(Growls)

(Growling)

(Rattling)

JACK:
Sh*t, we got company.

He must have followed us here.

(Growls)

This thing has got to have a weakness.

JACK:
Everyt thing's got a weakness.

TOP:
Where is it?

It's moving.

Top!

It took one of the rebreathers.

He's playing with us.

Kathryn!

Briggs!

(Briggs shouts)

Help!

- Briggs!

- Help!

- Briggs!

- (Shouts)

No, no!

- Come on!

- No! (Screams)

Come on!

Tyler!

Sh*t!

Help!

(Growling)

Tyler.

Briggs.

(Gasps) Kathryn.

Where?

(Gasps) Sorry. Go.

- Go.

- No.

Briggs!

(Growls)

(Roars)

(Roars)

Sh*t.

(Roars)

(Growls)

(Pulsating)

Tyler.

Are you all right? What happened?

- Why did they leave?

- Sound waves.

They retreat from the pulse. Doesn't last long.

- We found a way out.

- Jack was right.

And the others? Briggs?

No, no. He didn't make it.

- Where's Kim?

- I don't know. We got separated.

(Creatures rattle)

- Sh*t!

All right, come on. This way.

This is it. You ready?

- You can make it.

- Yeah.

All right.

Let's go.

Don't be scared. It's gonna be fine.

(Growling)

Watch your head.

Tyler!

TYLER:
We've gotta go under.

(Gasps)

(Exhales deeply)

Come on, Kathryn. Breathe.

(Coughs)

- Are you all right?

- (Moans)

(Clattering)

- Alex!

- We gotta go. They're coming this way!

- Look, I can't go back in the water.

- Come on.

The way out's next to an ice vein.

This has to connect to the other one. Let's go.

(Grunts)

All right.

They gotta be here somewhere.

But where?

Jack, Top.

Quiet.

Kill your light.

Where's Briggs?

They're watching us.

They see with sound.

- And the steam, it's confusing them.

(Rattling)

They took one of our rebreathers,

but they've left us alone since.

- They're waiting on something.

- There were more right behind us.

- We should get in the water now.

- (Growling)

Look. This works for a while.

We have to split out the tanks, the air and

oxygen. Won't last long, but it's our only choice.

We need the other rebreather, Tyler.

You see it there?

- Yeah.

- I'm going for it. You get the rest in the water.

OK.

TYLER:
Top, start breaking down that unit.

Kathry n, you and Alex buddy-breathe

from the air tank.

Top, that's gonna leave you with the oxygen.

- No regulator.

- Cool.

(Growling)

Jack!

I'll cover you with the mapping gun.

All right, let's go. Let's get out of here.

(Rattling)

(Roars)

(Shrieks)

TYLER:
Let's go! Come on!

(Screams)

Alex!

(Creature shrieks)

(Alex screams)

Oh!

(Growling)

(Roars)

TOP:
Tyler!

- Tyler!

(Roars)

(Growling)

Jack!

(Growling)

Tyler, behind us!

Tyler!

(Roars)

TYLER:
Jack, there's another one!

Jack, no!

Go!

Jack! Get in the water!

Come on, mother...

(Creature squeals)

No!

(Gasps)

TOP:
You gonna be OK, Tyler?

- Yeah.

Take care of yourself, man.

Bye, Kathryn.

- Travel safe, OK?

- All right.

(Sighs)

Tyler?

I'm sorry.

You're thinking about him.

Yeah.

You said that parasite was changing him.

I mean, he never could have

survived out here, could he?

At first... I thought it could only survive

in a cave environment.

But now I'm not so sure.

I think it wants to get out.

No.

Excuse me.

Hey!

# NIGHTWISH:
Nemo

# This is me for forever

# One of the lost ones

# The one without a name

# Without an honest heart as compass

# This is me for forever

# One without a name

# These lines the last endeavour

# To find the missing lifeline

# Oh, how I wish for soothing rain

# All I wish is to dream again

# My loving heart lost in the dark

# For hope I'd give my everything

# My flower withered between

# The pages two and three

# The once and forever bloom

# Gone with my sins

# Walk the dark path, sleep with angels

# Call the past for help

# Touch me with your love

# And reveal to me my true name

# Oh, how I wish for soothing rain

# All I wish is to dream again

# My loving heart lost in the dark

# For hope I'd give my everything

# Oh, how I wish for soothing rain

# Oh, how I wish to dream again

# Once and for all and all for once

# Nemo my name for evermore
