There's a chip in this blade.

So these...

these were not just ceremonial.

These saw battle.

- Switch off your lights.

- Lights off.

- Look at that.

- What is that?

That is dried blood.

What does that mean?

I'll have to take it back

and analyze it and date it.

We won't know until then,

so go ahead and take that as a sample.

Okay.

That's cool.

Hey, your wire.

- Your wire.

- What?

It must have snapped.

It's high-tension wire, doctor,

it doesn't just snap.

- Well, how...

- Fitzie, you stepped on it.

No, I didn't.

You probably didn't realize but you

must've done it as you were filming.

Realize I stepped on it?

You probably stepped on it!

- It's all right. It's all right.

- Probably Zahir, with his stupid robot.

It's all right, just calm down.

We're not that far from the entrance.

We'll set up another wire.

All right.

- Okay?

- Okay, it's this way.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

It's not this way, it's that way.

Look, I copied down the hieroglyphs

in my notebook

- before we set off as we entered.

- No.

No, I think we came from

this direction over here.

They all look the same.

- Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

- That's enough, Fitzie.

Look, guys. It's this way.

It's this way.

See? This is why we attach a wire.

That's strange.

These hieroglyphs are all the same.

We only walked for a few minutes.

Guys, is it just me or is it becoming really,

really hard to breathe in these masks?

Pyramids are incredibly airtight.

Explains how mummies can remain

so perfectly preserved after all these years.

Yeah, no, I'm not talking about

some pyramid mumbo-jumbo here.

I'm being serious. Something's off.

Now stay close.

I don't want to lose anybody. Okay?

Shouldn't we go back to where we were?

- Yeah, I think it was back...

- No, it's impossible.

I was positive.

I'm sorry, honey. We have to go back

in the other direction. This looks...

Yeah, we definitely came the wrong way.

- What could this chamber be?

- Holy sh*t!

- What?

- Oh, no.

- There's Shorty.

- Oh, my God.

Come on!

We should not be here. Let's get out.

Oh, my God!

Wait, nobody move! Nobody move.

All right.

All right.

Oh, my God.

- What's happening?

- The floor is about to collapse.

What?

We have to back out of here

one at a time.

Fitzie? Come on. You first.

Easy.

Move toward me,

and try not to step on the cracks.

That's good.

Come on. That's good, Fitzie.

Don't jump! Just...

Okay.

Just come on, come on, come on.

Good, good, good.

All right, that's good, that's good.

That's right. That's right.

- Oh, my God.

- That's right, that's right.

That's good. That's good.

Come on. That's good, Fitzie.

Okay, now, Zahir. Come on. Come on.

- Are you sure?

- Come!

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- It's all right, it's all right.

Come on, Michael, faster!

Everybody run!

- Nora? Nora?

- I'm good. I'm good.

- Is anyone hurt?

- I'm alive.

Where are we?

Jeez, I can't breathe

with this stupid mask.

What is that smell?

Smells like sh*t.

Where are we?

I'm guessing where the animal who destroyed

Shorty decided to relieve itself.

That's a lot of sh*t for just

one dog who got trapped.

Not only that, where did it go?

How'd it get out?

The only way out is up.

Still, we've got to get

out of here soon.

I haven't smelt anything this bad

since Zahir's tent

when he had the beans the other day.

What the hell is wrong with you, man?

Help me!

- Nora, wait!

- Michael, Michael! Oh, my God!

- Oh, my God!

- Help me!

What are we gonna do?

Okay, man, don't worry.

We're gonna get you out of here.

Okay, come on, guys! Help me, please!

- Michael, Michael.

- Okay.

- Calm down.

- We need to push, all right?

All right. All right, push!

- One, two, three.

- My God.

- Come on. Push, push, push!

- Stop! Stop!

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay.

What are you doing with the phone?

You're not gonna get reception down here.

We're 90 feet below ground. The walls

are six feet thick. Jesus, use your head.

We're never gonna be able to get

this rock off of him by ourselves.

And even if we do...

There's water in there, get it out.

Hey, hey. Listen to me. Look at me.

Look at me. Look at me. Take these.

I want you to swallow these, okay?

I want you to swallow.

Here you go.

He's gonna be okay, doctor?

He's not gonna die, is he?

Fitzie! Just shut up, please!

You're not helping right now, okay?

Michael, Michael. Breathe.

Hey, baby. Look at me. Michael.

You are going to get out of here, okay?

Just breathe, that's right.

Breathe.

Stay back, something could still fall.

What are you looking at?

This shaft should take us back

to where we came from.

- You know, I think I can get up there.

- No, no, that's not a good idea.

I've been rock climbing my entire life.

If you give me a boost,

I can brace myself in there and shimmy up.

Guys, she wants to climb this shaft.

Can you tell her she's crazy?

I can do it.

Don't worry.

Help me, come on!

Here, take this.

That way we can watch on the monitor.

Jesus.

How's that?

You're picking that up? Yeah?

All right.

- Okay. All right.

- Okay, Sunni, be careful.

Michael, calm down.

- Go slow!

- Yeah.

- Okay, be careful, Sunni.

- Go slow, go slow!

Yeah.

Right, just take your time, okay?

You got it.

At the same time, don't take too long.

Just let us know if you see anything.

- Okay.

- Okay, Sunni?

Oh, God.

- You okay? Go slow, okay?

- Yeah.

What do you see?

I see two people

trying to break my concentration!

- Are you okay?

- Did you guys hear that?

- I can't see anything.

- It's too dark.

Hang in there, Zahir.

Okay, let us know as soon as

you see anything, okay, Sunni?

I think something is up here.

There's some kind of low tunnel

perpendicular to us.

Oh, my God! Sunni, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Oh, God.

- You okay, Fitzie?

- Okay.

- I think I've got sh*t in my ear.

- Dad, give me my bag.

Here, use this. What happened up there?

I saw something. I was almost there

and it popped out at me.

This is gonna sting, okay?

So, was it... was it a dog, yeah?

I didn't get a good look.

But when I saw it, I lost my...

- I have another bag.

- I saw its eyes.

- What was it?

- Yeah, hold on.

It was the same thing we saw

before we lost contact with Shorty.

Sorry, sorry.

You know, maybe it's the soldier,

you know.

He knows we're down here.

He's probably gonna be...

A soldier popped out of a hidden tunnel

and scratched my face.

Maybe there's a way out over there.

Hey, Michael. Michael.

These carvings tell a story.

You see these figures holding the spears.

These are the same ones

we saw in the apex. This is...

This is a warning.

A warning?

- A warning for what?

- I don't know.

I think we should just stay here.

That soldier will come

looking for us eventually.

No, Michael might not have that long.

We have to look for another way out.

All right, then, fine.

What is your plan now, Nora?

If there is a gate here

then behind those stones there is

a passage and maybe another way out.
