Kathy?

Yes, dear,

It's me,

What is it, honey?

They're gonna kill us!

(man)

Who? What?

She said they're

gonna kill us!

[Indistinct voices]

Bastard,

Where are they going? We've

got to get out of here,

Don't worry, I won't leave

you till you're okay again,

(guide in Spanish) We've

found a girl in the cave,

she is pretty shaken up,

Seems she had an accident

Call for an ambulance... copy?

(Kathy)

Here, let me,

My brother has a

fishing boat in Florida,

Okay, Kate,

you try it,

Here we go,

The thing's

out of petrol,

No, surely not,

[Indistinct]

[Heather Nova singling

Gloomy Sunday from a distance]

# Sunday Is gloomy #

# My hours are slumber less #

[guide, talking]

What is it, Roy?

I can't breathe,

There's no air,

Start the motor!

Quick!

[Motor starts]

Cart it go any faster?

Take it easy,

It won't go any faster,

[Music continues distantly]

[Motor sputters out]

Christ!

(Kathy)

Goddamn boats,

Under the water! We have

to get under the water!

Jump!

He's just arrived,

(Kathy, choking)

What are you doing...!

# Dearest, the shadows #

# I live with are numberless #

[radio static]

# Not where the black... #

(guide, Indistinct)

(guide) Hey, what are you

doling? Get off of there

[screaming]

[Music, Indistinct]

# Would they be angry... #

Do you see her?

I don't know!

Why doesn't

she come up?

[Motor starts up]

Drop your gun and put your

hands up, Stand up very slowly,

Take it easy!

It was me who called!

Drop your gun

drop the gun,

No!

I didn't kill him!

[Screams]

(guide, over radio)

Help! they're going crazy,

I need to speak to them,

I need the walkie-talkie!

[Speaks Spanish]

Do not move!

Are you there? Help, they're

all jumping Into the pit,

Cart you hear them?

Hold it... wait I

Stop

[loud gunshot]

[Screams]

[Guide speaks

Spanish over radio]

[Screams]

[Music]

What's that?

(man In boat)

Can you hear that?

# Gloomy Sunday #

# Dreaming #

# I was only dreaming #

[screams]

Maybe we should get

outside and get help,

# Gloomy Sunday #

# With shadows

I spend It all #

# My heart and I #

# Have decided to end It all #

# Soon there'll be... #

[silence]

[Whimpering]

[Distant voice, Indistinct]

Hey!

Hey! Where are

the others?

Hey!

Where are

the others?!

[Sirens]

(female reporter) Bodies

are still being discovered,

although so far, there

are only seven survivors,

six of whom are

In a state of shock,

If the testimony of the guide who

accompanied the group can be corroborated,

this horror

could well be confirmed

as an inexplicable case

of collective suicide,

[Indistinct]

(David)

Excuse me,

(male rescuer) Please

sir, you shouldn't be here,

Remember a girl

with long brown hair?

Right now, it's impossible

to look at anyone,

Why don't you speak

to the Police?

[Speaking Spanish]

[Male speaks French]

[Speaking Spanish]

[Speaking Spanish]

[Female reporter

speaking German]

(David) Itll be headline

news the world over,

You're here,

Somewhere,

Near the blood,

[Distant TV reporter]

(female voice)

This Is Kim Hughes,

reporting live

from the Caves of Hell,

We will continue to give you

updates throughout the night,

I can imagine how you must

be feeling at the moment,

Up to now, your performance

hasn't been too brilliant, David,

First, Jane,

Then, Silvia,

[Gun cocking]

Come on,

No one will blame you

for this,

I deserve what

you're going to do,

What are you

waiting for?

No, I'll tell you

what you deserve,

You deserve to suffer,

A slow agonizing death while

that tumor grows inside your head,

It'll get to you,

You know it will,

That's what you deserve,

[Gun unlocking]

One day,

you're gonna get up

and you won't remember

how to use a fork,

I'm not gonna be

your easy way out,

What do you think

will happen,

when all those bodies

are repatriated?

This time the autopsies

will give them the key,

They'll take

a mere few days

to catch up

on what I took

years to discover,

And then they'll use it,

Have no doubt about that,

There's only one person

who can raise the alarm

about what's coming,

You, David,

Mm,

But I'm not going to,

You want me

to make you a legend,

So, what are you

golng to do?

Sit at home,

counting the dead?

That book Is your

opportunity to do something,

If you don't write it,

it will become a cancer

gnawing away inside of you,

You have

a consciences, David,

You couldn't live

with something like that,

Do you really think

that you have a choice?

[Gun cocking]

Maybe you're right,

I don't think

I could live with that,

You're not going to do it,

And how can you stop me?

She's not dead,

She's still alive,

You're lying,

Have I ever lied to you?

Something

that can be activated,

can also be deactivated,

Have you seen

her body?

Think for a moment,

It would have been

stupid of me

to waste

my trump card,

I assure you

she's alive,

Kill me

or she'll die,

You know I'll do it,

You have to choose

between me and her,

Oh, come on, David

Stop thinking

and act for once,

You haven't...

[gunshot]

(Kim) Another survivor has

just been found at the lake,

making It now a total of

eight people recovered alive,

though the number

of dead stands at...
