Ramsey!

You know we have to seal

the bulkhead doors.

- Seal the doors.

- Yes, sir.

Don't touch anything, sweetie.

I know it's been a while, God,

and I've been out of touch...

...but please, please, please

be with me.

Be with me. Be with me.

What the hell did you go and do

to all these people?

Cover your face, honey.

- Those are the service stairs, right?

- Yeah, behind this.

Damn it.

People, we got a problem.

Hey. Hey, map. What's through here?

Yeah. That's the...

That's the service elevator.

We're gonna get through this.

Let's go.

Find something we can pry it with.

All right. What's through there?

Is there a way up?

- More stairs.

- More stairs. Okay, let's find something.

Careful. Careful. All right.

- Okay, get the front up.

- I got it.

Ready? One, two, three.

- Sh*t. Pick it up.

- Hold it!

- Don't let it rock.

- Easy.

I can't get leverage.

Hey, what if we go through up there?

The entertainment section's up there.

- Come give me a hand.

- We'll hold it steady. You'll be all right.

It's okay. Come on.

- Go.

- Come on.

Okay. Now put your back up

against this wall. Come on.

- Good.

- Hurry, hurry!

- Now give me a stirrup.

- Okay, okay.

Go up.

It's okay! Honey.

Okay. Send the kid. Come on.

Don't look down.

- Come on. All right.

- That's it. Don't look down, honey.

- It's okay.

- It's okay, son.

- That's it, that's it. Look, look.

- That's good.

That's it!

Excellent. Put your hands up.

Reach your hands up to me.

Up!

Gotcha.

- Good boy!

- Okay. Come on, Maggie.

Come on. Keep coming.

Good.

Okay, up. One, two, three.

Okay. I got this.

Damn it.

Hold on, hold on!

- Thank you, gorgeous.

- My name's Valentin.

Valentin. I love that name.

You... You go first.

- Come on.

- You go first!

- Come on, give me your hand.

- Give me your foot. Give me your foot.

I gotcha.

Hang on!

He's gonna take them both down.

- Stay back, sweetie.

- I'm gonna anchor us. Hold onto him!

Help me up!

- It's okay.

- Come on!

Help me up!

Give me one of my hands.

I'm losing him.

Shake him off.

Shake him off!

- Now, or you both die!

- No!

I'm so sorry.

Shake him off! Now!

No! No! No!

Come on!

- Captain.

- That felt like the galley.

Gas shutoffs must have malfunctioned.

The door seals,

will they keep the fire out?

- Yes, captain.

- Help! Somebody, over here.

God rest their souls.

I'll take a look.

Come on, I think I found a way.

Come on.

Maybe you could move your leg.

- L... Nothing.

- Try pulling it up.
