The Cave Page #2

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.

- Yeah!

- All right.

Top, anything you want to add?

Everybody just remember, now -

this cave is a very serious piece of work.

It's already taken at least one life.

Respect the cave.

Briggs, you're gonna take first scout.

Ouch.

BRIGGS:
Right on.

JACK:
Any questions? All right, listen.

A toast.

- To virgin caves.

ALL:
To virgin caves!

Cheers. Thank you very much.

To virgin everything.

They built the church to seal the cave

as a display of God's protective power.

Now, try to imagine...

these Knights Templar entering the cave,

and according to the local legend,

fighting these winged demons.

- Demons, huh?

- Yeah.

Well? Did they win?

Unfortunately, no.

European legends always have sad endings.

There you go.

BRIGGS:
Oh, yeah.

NICOLAl:
The ladder is quite safe.

- Yeah, I hate ladders.

- Whoa!

Next thing you know they're putting in elevators.

She's such a show-off.

It's the only way to go, doc.

Whoo!

Oh, man.

Titan Hall.

CHARLIE:
It's awesome.

TOP:

Pre-dive checklist. O2 sensors calibrated?

BRIGGS:
Calibrated, check.

TOP:
Oxygen running 0.4?

0.4. Check.

Now, you find it, you name it. Make it good.

First scout's privilege. I got a few ideas.

You know I'll come up with something good.

Three, two, one, mark.

- All OK?

- I don't think it could be any better, Ty.

- Yeah, I bet.

- All right. Here we go.

This is a long passage,

so I want you to pace yourself now.

Yeah.

Turnaround's one-third, OK?

If I find a dry cavern, I'll give you a call, Jack.

- You'd do that, would you?

- Go and get it!

JACK:
How's it looking down there?

It's dark, it's deep, and it's wet, Jack.

Give us your current depth.

- Depth at 162.

(Beeping)

What's your gas reading?

O2's reading 1800.

TOP:
So, how you feeling down there, Briggs?

I'm feeling pretty good.

How you feeling up there?

I'm all right.

How about the warning lights?

How do they look?

Nothing yet. There's a curve

in the tunnel up ahead, though.

Probably gonna lose you guys

on the dark side of the moon.

Tell Tyler I'll give him a call from first base camp

after I set up that fibre optic.

You know, Briggs,

I'd warn you not to be so arrogant,

but then you'd have no personality at all.

Come on, Top. Take away the arrogance...

CHARLIE:
There he goes.

- That's it.

Thanks, Strode.

We need you ready around 0100 hours,

all right?

Oh, I've been ready.

You got something to say, say it.

- You know I'm the best scout.

- Maybe so.

But I can count on Briggs.

(Buzzes)

First scout consolation prize.

- Yeah.

- You wish it was you in there?

I just wanna be first

in a place nobody's ever been.

Well, you and I aren't that different.
