The Descent Page #3

- Yeah, well, you make it look hard.

- Oh.

Don't look down, Beth. Keep going.

- Just keep going.

You're OK. You're safe.

Good. There you go.

Was this about me or you?

It's about us,

getting back to what we used to be.

I wanted us to claim this place, name it.

I thought maybe your name.

Or maybe yours.

You're doing well. Come on.

Come on.

There you are. Come on, give me your hand.

Juno?

We'll need everything we've got.

Haul it in.

F***.

Yes!

Reach.

Reach out.

Aargh!

Juno!

No!

Juno, it's OK, we've got you.

OK, pull!

Sam!

Holly, let me pass.

Rebecca, show me your hand.

Let go, let go.

- What does it mean?

- It means we're not the first.

It's a piton, right?

If cavers were here,

there's a better chance of us getting out.

This equipment is at least 100 years old.

No-one uses stuff like this any more.

Besides, if anyone had been down here

and made it out,

they would have named it already.

Becca, are you OK?

I'll live.

Holly, how does it look?

It's tight again, but I can get through.

OK, keep going. We'll be right behind you.

Hey, there's something down here.

Guys, it's amazing,

but the batteries on our lights will run out.

- So I suggest we keep moving.

- Wait a minute. Wait.

- What is it, Beth?

- Juno, light up one of your flares.

- We don't have time for this.

- Just light a flare.

- Really lovely, Beth, but it's f***ing useless.

- No, look at it. What do you see?

You've got the mountain, the cave...

and there's two entrances.

- You are a f***ing genius.

- I have my moments.

- This means there's another way out?

- Let's find out.

Come on!

- Bastard!

- Which way?

Holly, give me your lighter.

- Come on.

- Here.

F***!

- Come on! Come on!

- Sh*t!

- That one!

- Hey! Holly!

Holly, slow down!

Holly! Careful!

Daylight! I can see daylight!

Holly! Careful! Slow down!

Holly, it's not daylight!

- Help me!

- Hold on!

Guys! Hold...

Holly!

Sam! Get down here!

Holly!

Holly!

Holly! Answer me!

I think I hurt my leg!

Don't move! We're coming down to you.

Oh, f***!

No! F***!

Someone better get down here!

- Oh, that's f***ing disgusting.

- Beth! Not here, not now!

We need help. Everybody grab a corner.

We need to move her out of the water.

Nice and easy now. And... lift!

Argh!

- You f***ers!

- Juno, find something to make a splint out of.

- It's OK, I've got her.

- Hey, Juno, use one of the ice axes.

You'll be all right, sweetheart.

OK.

- Sarah!

- Juno, I'm gonna need your help here.

- Sarah!

- Juno!

Take hold of her arm.

You'll have to hold her down.

What are you gonna do?

I need to dress the wound and rig up a splint,

but I can't while the bone is protruding.

I need to push it back in.

- I hate you.

- I know.

Do it.

Bite down on this.

- Keep hold of her.

- Just f***ing bite down, OK?

Go!

Come on!

Just keep biting down, baby.

Come on.

OK, someone get me a medical kit.

OK, OK, OK. Calm down. It'll be all right.

What are you doing?

I just saw something ahead in the tunnel.

Sarah, I promise you,

I'm gonna get you out of here.

But I can't do it unless you're with me.

Sarah?

Sarah!

Sarah, look at me.

There's nothing there.

That's the best I can do.

It'll hurt like hell and you can't put any weight

on it, but at least you can move.

They combed these mountains centuries ago.

Anyone trapped would be a skeleton now.

- That is just what it looked like.

- What?

- Sarah thinks she saw someone.

- Saw what?

I don't think I saw someone, I saw someone.

No, you heard something

and saw what you wanted to see.

- It's the dark. It plays tricks on people.

- I can describe exactly what I saw.

- What did you see?

- A man. I saw a man.

Are you sure?

- Yes!

And it's not the first time. I thought

I saw someone before, but now I'm sure.

Look, if there is somebody down here,

then maybe they can help get us out.

Sarah, there's no-one down here.

Forget about it!

Hey, we have to get Holly out of here.

OK? This is all that matters right now.

- Beth!

- It's OK.

Is it? F***!

F*** me.

You've got to keep warm.

Why are we walking away?

There was daylight back there.

It wasn't. It was phosphorus in the rock.

We're two miles underground,

the only light down here is ours.

Argh! Well, it looked like f***ing daylight to me.

Right tunnel!

I got you. OK?

Jesus! What is this place?

Holly, where's the infrared button?

Dead animals.

Hundreds of them.

This is not good, guys.

Can we get out of here? Which way?

Come on.

- I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know?

There's no breeze. It could be

any one of these tunnels. Take your pick.

Oh, f*** it! Hello!

- Please!

- Is there anybody there?

Hello!

It's there! It's up there!

It's there on the roof!

F***ing hell, did you see...?

What the f*** was that?

I don't know!

It moved so fast, I could barely see it!

- I've never seen anyone climb like that!

- I told you I saw someone!

- That was not a human being!

- Screw this.

Let's take our chances and pick a tunnel. Move!

What's happening?

Oh, sh*t! It's circling us.

- Where is it?

- This way! Move!

- Holly! We've got to move. We've got to move.

- Come on! Move it!

Come on, Holly! Move it! Let's go!

- Juno, the flare! Get rid of it!

- F***!

Holly, keep moving, come on!

Holly! Holly!

Sarah!

Holly!

Sarah!

Sarah! Run!

Sarah!

Get off!

Get away, you f***er!

Don't leave me.

Oh, f***. My battery's gone dead.

Where are they?

What's happened to the others?

Becca, please say we're gonna get out of here.

OK. OK.

OK.

Go. Go!

Mummy. Mummy.

If you're really ready...

Oh, f***. F***.

Turn the light off.

Quiet.

Sarah! Sarah!

Sarah!

It can't see us.

Sam? Becca?

Becca!

- Becca!

- It's Juno.

Becca!

The noise she's making, she'll bring

every one of those things down on her head.

As long as it's not on mine.

Becca!

Sam!

Sam!

Sam!

Anyone?

Sam!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh...

I'm sorry.

F***. OK.

OK.

OK.

It's all clear.

Sam, run!

We heard you crying for Sarah.

Where are the others?

They... They took Holly.

Beth...

Beth's dead.

Sam...

...what is that thing?

I don't know. Well, it does look human.

Come on, we need to find the way out

before those things find us.

No.

Sam, tell us what we're fighting.

Well...

...they're totally blind.

And judging from what we've seen,

I'd say they use sound to hunt with. Like a bat.

And they've evolved perfectly

to live down here in the dark.

Whatever they are,

they go to the surface to hunt.

And they bring their food back down here to eat,

through an entrance.

Listen, if we can stay quiet enough

and evade these f***ers...

...I think I found the way out.

You think?

The climbing gear we found - whoever

brought that down here marked their route.

- I found those markings.

- Well, what are we waiting for?

Sarah.

I'm not leaving without Sarah.

Sarah!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. No.

Sarah...

I'm getting you out of here.

Don't touch me. Don't touch me.

I heard Juno calling me.
