The Cave Page #3

I mean, if I find something unique,

I want to put my name on it.

So, what happened?

- It's my brother's call.

JACK:
Hey, Ty!

Checked the line three times. There's nothing

wrong with it. We just don't have a signal.

Check every five minutes till we get something.

TYLER:
What's up?

- If he doesn't show in ten, I'm sending you in.

- It's Briggs. He's probably just showing off.

Listen, you're probably right,

but go get ready anyways, OK?

(Buzzing)

- Jack!

- Guys! I got him.

- Wakey, wakey.

Titan Hall! Is anybody there?

All right. Get up!

Morning. We're all here, buddy. Where are you?

Good morning to you too, Top.

I'd say I'm sitting at advance base camp,

which will now be forever known

as... Kublai Khan.

About how far in would you say, Briggs?

Oh... only about...

2.4 miles, Jack.

- Fantastic!

- 2.4!

I'm uploading the data now.

Read it and weep.

It's amazing in here, man.

I haven't seen a hole like this in a long time.

Oh, sh*t!

- Briggs!

- Yeah. Hold on a sec. Something ran past me.

(Grunts) Got it!

Kathry n, can you and Nicolai see this?

It's some kind of a large rat,

or a mole or something.

Buck teeth, webbed feet,

looks a lot like Tyler.

(Laughter)

(Creature screeches, and Briggs grunts)

- You all right, man?

- Sh*t!

Yeah.

I think I pissed him off

with that Tyler comment.

Listen, man, good work. Get some sleep now.

Yeah, yeah. Some sleep.

- You need anything down there, man?

- Hold on a sec.

(Monitor bleeps)

JACK:
Briggs?

Yeah. Yeah, hold on, guys.

- I'm gonna to try to get...

- (Rattling)

- There's something that...

- Briggs?

- What's up, Strode?

- Could be feedback in the line.

- What was that? God damn it!

- Key me if you can hear me.

Fibre optic must have snapped, huh?

Maybe we should send in a second scout,

to be safe.

No, come on. We gotta get in the water.

Top and I are in the water in 30 minutes.

Strode, Tyler, fix the cable on the way in.

Let's do it.

TYLER:
Let's take it a little slow.

Breakin the line could be anywhere.

STRODE:
Right on your tail, mate.

JACK:
It's not bad, huh, Top?

Yeah, there's a lot of life in here.

JACK:
You OK?

- Yeah. Just thinking about Briggs.

- He can take care of himself.

NICOLAl:
How long till we reach the cavern?

JACK:
It's a long run, Nicolai. Enjoy the ride.

CHARLIE:

This beats anything in the Yucatan by a mile.

Hey, Kim, did you get a shot

of those cave draperies? Sick, dude!

(Camera shutter clicks)

ALEX:
I got it.

CHARLIE:
It's totally rockin'.

JACK:
Dr Nicolai,

you and Katherine should check this out.

Advance base camp

should be about 200 yards ahead.

NICOLAl:
Thankyou. We'll see you there.

Yo, Briggs!

Briggs!
