We'd better figure out what a lap is ...

before we do anything else.

- Hey, can you stop 'em?

- Hang on, no, no, I'm here to help.

Let's get her up.

Come on, get her up.

You guys speak English?

It's going to be okay.

Hey, hey, look at me.

We can take them with us.

Yeah.

I think they are safer here.

Look . We're gonna get some help.

I need you guys to stay here, okay?

Stay here. We gonna

get you some help, okay?

Stay.

I need you to protect her, okay?

Protect her.

Protect her, all right?

Look. Protect her, okay?

Don't worry.

It's gonna be okay.

I'll get you some help.

Stay here.

Protect her, okay?

Stay there.

Wait. Hold on a minute.

I can't leave them.

Look, if we get lapped twice, we die.

And we're no good to anybody.

It is a good move.

- No man, we gotta do what is right.

- Just, listen to me.

What is right, is you and I

get out of this in one piece.

With those kids included. You know that.

We're wasting time just talking about this.

Come on.

- Why is he doing this, Just?

- Who?

- God.

- God?

- 70.

- You hear him speak to you?

That ain't God.

You don't have faith?

You saw the white light.

Do you have any idea where we are?

- Purgatory.

- Purgatory?

The Bible teaches, "Those who

find themselves in Purgatory '...

must walk a narrow path to Heaven'

- A narrow path.

- 69.

Do you hear that?

-... 68.

I hear my own voice.

- He's testing us.

- 67.

We must stay on the path

and not give in to temptation.

If we continue on the path,

eventually we will reach Heaven.

Temptation? Like step off the

path and your head explodes?

Temptation that? Doesn't sound

too tempting to me, Father. Sorry.

God makes a journey for all of us.

What do you guys say we keep moving.

Come on.

Stay on the path or you will die.

This is so f***ed.

- You just realize now?

- No, I mean, we're f***ed.

You're 37.

You're 38.

And so many people have gone by?

Relax.

Nice and easy. Come on.

You know, if they lap

you again, you die, right?

I'm familiar with that.

Put it like this, I can't go

anywhere without this.

Perhaps it's better.

At one point you're going to die?

Bullshit, nobody wants that.

Can you guys help?

- What does she say?

- Thank you.

They say they can't run forever.

Woh, woh, woh, grab him.

Grab him.

I think the house is after the next

tunnel. Let's help them get there.

Okay everyone.

We walk together, all right?

We will wait back here and

give everyone a heads out.

We want to take him out there

and make sure he is safe.

Hey, make sure

no one gets through.

It's going to be okay.

Okay?

- Are you a vet?

- Yeah. Army.

- P*ssy.

- Excuse me?

- I'm a Marine.

- Are you a Marine?
