Briggs!

Hey, Briggs!

About time you two ladies got here!

Come take a look at this.

We're not the first ones here after all.

TOP:
Looks like somebody lost his boots.

(Rattling)

STRODE:
What the hell was that?

STRODE:
Tyler, hang on.

I'm gonna make ajump here for a second.

TYLER:
Strode, how you doing?

- Good. I think I saw one of those moles.

- Be right back.

- All right. I'll keep looking for the break.

Strode, I found the breakright here.

It's gonna take me a few minutes.

Strode? Hey, Strode?

Yeah, right here. Just give me another minute.

BRIGGS:
There's a flat area just up there

where we can set up camp.

CHARLIE:
Any hot showers?

BRIGGS:
That would make my day.

TOP:
I've had enough water.

Tyler? You still reading me, mate?

Tyler?

(Hyperventilates)

Whoo!

What the hell?

(Screeching)

What the...

(Screeches)

(Hyperventilates)

Son of a b*tch!

(Rattling)

Hey, Tyler. Tyler, you read me?

TYLER:
What the hell? Strode.

This cable looks... chewed.

- Mate, you there?

(Rattling)

- (Growls)

- Argh!

(Screams)

- Help! Help!

- Strode? Strode!

(Creature roars)

Strode! Can you hear me?

Where are you, Strode?

(Screams continue)

(Groans)

(Screams)

JACK:
Tyler!

CHARLIE:
Jesus! What the hell was that?

JACK:
Top!

JACK:
Tyler, Tyler, hey... You all right?

- Yeah. Yeah. I think so.

- Where's Strode? Huh?

I... I don't know.

- Sh*t! Top.

- Bring the J-bar.

He kept saying, "help,"

like he was being attacked, so I went back,

but I don't know what the hell exploded.

TOP:
At least the dive line's intact.

JACK:
Let's keep our eyes open.

TOP:

Looks like the whole damn tunnel collapsed.

JACK:
He's got to be in here.

It's the only way through.

(Gasps) Son of a b*tch!

TOP:
Jack?

JACK:
That's his counter lung.

Oh, man, this isn't good.

TOP:
Jack, look out! It's coming down!

Sh*t!

TOP:
Jack, back on the diveline.

All right, listen up.

We have a few realities to face here, people.

The first is that we're not going out

the way we came.

The passage is completely blocked.

The second is that

we're not even gonna be missed for 12 days,

which is right about when our supplies run out.

- So we're gonna have to find our own way out.

BRIGGS:
Hold on a second!

You still haven't told us

what happened to Strode.

Tyler said it sounded like

he was being attacked.

He was Special Forces,

for Christ's sake, Jack.

He knew what the hell he was doing.

Something got him. I'll bet you it was the

same thing that got whoever owns those boots.

We're all hurting, man.

Strode was a friend to all of us.

Don't you forget that.

(Sighs) What do you think, Dr Nicolai?

Is there anything

that could have attacked Strode?

I don't know. The mole is the largest animal
