WIthIN

We got it.

- Yeah.

- Come on, let's do it.

- Oh, my God!

- Pack it up.

Tear down. We're heading to Asia.

- Hey. Hey, how close are we?

- No problem.

- No, how close are we?

- I say, "No problem."

He said, "No problem."

Great.

- Hey, man, do you have to go so fast?

- Yeah!

- Why?

- I don't wanna lose to my brother.

- Wonderful!

- Okay, are you trying to ram us out?

Finally.

- Amazing!

- Yeah.

Load up your packs.

It's gonna be a walk the rest of the way.

What do you need those for?

- Need what?

- The gun.

Safety.

You don't go in the middle of nowhere

unprotected, man.

- Who is this guy?

- Hey, where are we exactly?

No name.

- No name?

- Virgin territory.

This area hasn't been mapped yet.

It's officially unexplored.

We're hundreds of miles

in the middle of nowhere.

- So who else knows we're here?

- You're looking at us.

Secrets travel fast in the caving world.

- How many years you say you been caving?

- Seven.

- Yeah.

- Lying b*tch.

What?

There it is.

Hello!

Why?

Why not?

For an opening this big, there should be

enough light to see further inside.

Yeah.

I've never seen anything like it before.

Yeah, it's weird.

It's late.

The shadows are playing with our eyes.

I'll set up the flashes

and we'll snap off a couple.

No, no, no. We set up camp 20 yards back.

We'll cave in the morning.

- It'll take, like, two minutes.

- Nothing does.

Set up camp. We'll cave tomorrow.

Jackass.

Good to know.

- Do I have to wear a condom?

- Suck it. You're so...

Stop!

No! You want me to shove it up my ass,

I'll tell you no!

I can do all kinds of things with this

right now, but shove it up my ass?

That's where I draw the line.

That's a whole new ball game.

Every day.

He's in slow motion.

We call her Florence.

- What? Like Nightingale?

- Yeah.

- Why?

- Okay, stop!

Because on her first caving expedition,

someone got hurt.

So this guy cuts himself on his knee.

- Oh, wait. It wasn't just a cut.

- No, no, no. You're right.

It was a tiny cut. Tiny.

Oh, you b*tch!

But Florence here decides

that she was going to wrap it,

and wrapped it,

and, yes, you may have guessed it,

- she wrapped it again.

- You b*tch!

But seriously,

I'd love to lead my own cave expedition.

- Of children?

- Of grownups.

Be the first to explore a new cave.

It'd be amazing.

Certainly have a lot more fun

than those guys.

Especially Gannon.

- How long has it been?

- Two years tomorrow.

Yeah, that's what changed him.

What do you mean? What happened?

It won't go in the book.

If I tell you, you're gonna wanna put it in.

It won't.

You've got my word.

- Do you guys know?

- No.

We meet Gannon today.

All right, Ori, you can trust me.

Two years ago, we were caving in Peru.

Me, Miranda, Bailey, Domingo, Gannon...

There were some other guys there,

but they don't work for us anymore.

And there was another woman, Rachel,

his fiance.

It was the beginning of the rainy season

in Peru,

and we were trying to get out

of a cave that was flooding.

And she didn't make it.

We were all, you know, really close to her.

I'm sorry.

Yeah. Gannon was the only one

that saw her die.

Her body was never found.

- Are you saying there's more to the story?

- No.

- Then what are you saying?

- Nothing.

That's it.

- Well, I'm gonna go to bed.

- Me, too.

Get some sleep.

So,

you guys thinking about tomorrow?

You getting what you need for your book?

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

Caving is a whole new world.

For a lot of people, I mean.

I mean, you know, you show them a photo,

it opens them up

to a whole new universe, right?

Every photo you sell furthers caving.

Yeah.

We're lucky to be making a living doing it.

So... So what are your thoughts, exactly,

- on caving?

- What do you mean?

I mean, what's your philosophy?

How do you approach it?

I wanna know

what makes you go down there.

There's something about caves that's alive.

There's something down there that,

if we're open to it,

we can connect with.

I look for that connection

every time I go down.

I crave it.

You're a Brujo.

His father was.

So you believe in spirits?

- Like, spirit of the earth, spirit of the sun?

- Yeah, I do.

- And cave spirits?

- The most unpredictable of all.

Interesting.

Everyone has their own beliefs.

What's hanging from your neck?

It's a cross.

If something as magnificent

or as terrible as God is possible,

anything is, right?

Right?

- Yeah, but I wasn't saying...

- Throughout history,

caves have been a sacred place

for almost every religion in existence.

Remember, Jesus was buried

and resurrected in a cave.

I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to offend you.

- So why do you do it?

- We haven't found them all.

Everyone knows

where the highest mountains are,

the deepest seas.

But caves...

Caves are the last unexplored frontier

on earth.

There's nothing more exciting than that.

My grandfather used to climb through caves

to find new mining lines on the East Coast.

He'd say, "Apollo had it easy,

"'cause everyone knows

where the moon is.

"But no one knows where I'm going."

So are there any events

or anything about caving that you regret?

Over the years, I've found

that it's hard to control

what happens down there.

It's a beast,

and not all beasts can be tamed.

And that's what you need to understand.

Things happen in caves

that don't happen anywhere else.

When you're down there, you're in darkness,

an eternal, never-ending world of night.

Down there,

miles beneath the earth's surface,

you're surrounded by miles of rock.

You know a wrong step can send you

down a chasm hundreds of feet deep?

And if you get hurt down there,

maybe break an arm or break a leg,

there's no ambulance nearby, no hospital.

Chances are you won't be brought out alive.

The only way to survive it over and over

is to respect it.

Respect where you are.

Respect what it is.

- Bailey. Bailey.

- Hold on, I'm coming.

- Is everyone asleep?

- Yeah.

Come on, it'll be fun.

Stop!

Wait. What was that?

Bat?

Stop. It's not a f***ing bat.

Say "f***" like that again.

There's something there.

You're just worried about getting caught.

It isn't fun if you don't get caught.

- How you feeling?

- Fine.

- You?

- Ready to go.

Again.

Too bad.

- Hey.

- Hey.

It was today.

- You gonna be okay?

- Yeah.

- I'll be fine.

- Good.

- I'm glad you're here.

- I know.

I know.

Come on.

How'd it go?

- We're about to find out.

- All right!

We ready?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Let's go.

Hold up.

- It's a long way down.

- Yeah.

Hey, set up a rappel line.

- So what are we gonna name this one?

- Hell's Pit.

Do we really wanna name it that?

- What?

- It's the Russian word for "hell."

- Then Ad's Pit it is.

- Estpidos. Ready.

- All right.

- All right, I'll head down first.

Whoa, whoa.

How come you get all the booty?

'Cause I say so.

Sh*t!

- What's up?

- You okay?

- Hey, you all right?

- Gannon!

Yeah, I'm fine!

You b*tch.

Off-rope! What do we got down here?
