You don't send the oldest down to...

Look...

we need to figure out, what's going on.

The source... The source...

Go back, to the source...

This is it! This is what

wakened the machine.

What do you know about this?

Now you can't be trusted.

I wont allow you, to endanger us further.

Subjugate them.

- Sub... What?

- You illiterate crimp...

Take their belongings.

- Hey...

- Wait!

You're nothing but a coward.

How dare you challenge me? I, who

kept everyone safe all these years.

Ever since you got here,

everything has been unravelling.

You're a curse! A fool.

- Guided by pointless queries .

- And you... are a blind man.

Guided by fear.

Sometimes fear... is the

appropriate response.

Nooo!

- Nine!

- Go!

- Nine!

- Keep going, I'll find a way down.

Come on.

Let me try that again.

The cable! Pull it!

Grab on.

Grab the wire.

Your cape... let it go.

I can't.

Do it now!

It's only a cape.

There will be more, wont there?

Yes.

It's not safe here.

Stand look out.

I'll search out a safer retreat.

- What, hat is it?

- The source.

That thing that woke the machine.

- Go back, go back.

- Back to where?

Dark science.

What good does this

useless rubbish do us? Forget it!

You know something.

What do you know?

I know enough, to leave

ancient evil to moulder.

Look what they've left us with.

Leave it be I say. But you...

always asking questions.

So many pointless

questions... Probing, pushing.

Like, two, he always

had to know, so much.

I was right, you did

send him out to die.

He was old, he was weak.

Sometimes one must be sacrificed

for the good of many.

You, coward!

Seven.

Your path takes us to catastrophe.

- We have to go back.

- Back, where?

To the first room, where I woke.

Can't he see, he's way

only brings trouble...

I mean what good

comes from all of this?

I know what we need.

I know what's right.

No, no, you can't be.

No, no!

Find them.

Don't look in the eyes.

Five!

- Seven!

- Nine!

- We have to go after them.

- What?

- Eight. Where's, eight?

- That thing has them.

It's taking them back to the machine.

Then it's too late.

Wait, wait we have to get out of here.

We must try to find another safe place.

No more hiding.

We're going after them! All of us.

Need I remind you, of the outcome

of your last heroic adventure?

I can't let this happen to them.

- I'm going in.

- I'm coming with you.

No, I need you here.

If I don't make it back...

destroy it.

Wait, How?

Come on, then. Let's hear it,

what's your brilliant scheme?

We'll need a full barrel.

Hey, over here!

- Where are they?

- It's taking too long.

- We have to do it now!

- No, they need more time.
