The Cave Page #5

Synopsis: Decades after a rock church in communist Romania's Carpathians caved when an expedition caused a landslide and buried everyone, Dr. Nicolai's scientific team exploring the associated Templar Knights monster fighting-legend discovers a deep, flooded cave system and hires the brothers Jack and Tyler's brilliant divers team to explore it. Another explosion traps them, after finding a mysterious parasite turning all species carnivore, and later an independently evolved predator species. Jack may be infected and turning, but Tyler sticks with him, so the group splits, hunted by the monsters, which also fly.

we've seen in this type of system.

Our friend here does prove

there's an abundant food supply.

Question is, is he at the top of the food chain,

or is there something else?

Strode could have just screwed up his mix.

Narcosis, hallucinations...

It happens. I mean, he panics,

he ruptures his scooter.

Whatever it was, it doesn't matter now.

Because right now our primary concern

is getting out of here alive.

Jack, this is the Carpathians.

We could spend an eternity

try ing to find a way out.

Lf... there even is one.

Come on, Jack, we wait.

A rescue team will come for us.

Dr Nicolai, we're a mile below the surface

and three miles in.

The best people to get us out

are all right here.

We are the rescue team.

Now, here's how it's gonna go. Top and I, we're

gonna start scouting for an exit immediately.

Now I'd recommend that you all get some rest.

You're gonna need it.

JACK:
Top.

I never lost anybody, Top.

I don't like it, mac. Something's not right.

No sh*t, buddy.

Narcosis my ass!

That's bullshit and you know it.

I'm not getting into this.

Why is that, Tyler? Because you forgot

to stick with your dive buddy?

You a**hole! I had no idea...

(Grunts)

CHARLIE:
Hey! You guys!

Hey! Stop it!

You guys, cut it out! Stop it!

Hey! We just lost a friend,

and this is how you deal with it?

Come on.

Never seen a white algae bed before.

Yeah. Looks like we found

the base of the food chain.

It's not the base I'm worried about.

Someone made it this far.

Let's keep moving.

Nicolai. Look at this.

- It's a parasite.

- Mm-hm.

That's from the mole.

- Yeah.

- And this is from the salamander.

- It's the same parasite.

- Uh huh.

Think we should have tried door number two.

It looks like it opens up.

I'm gonna try to slip through.

(Grunts)

JACK:
Ah, sh*t. Hey, Top?

Yeah?

You mind backing up, bud?

Backing up.

Jack.

(Roars)

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

(Creature roars)

Get the medical kit!

BRIGGS:
I got it!

TYLER:
What happened?

Ah, sh*t! Look at him. You all right?

Top, what do you need?

Tell me! What happened, Top?

- Found that hooked in his sling.

- What the hell is that?

- I cut it off.

- Did you get a look at it?

- It jumped me too fast.

- Hold still.

- Jesus, how big was it?

- It's big.

- How's it looking?

- Ripped you up good.

Need to put you on an antibiotic.

Give me a syringe!

You son of a b*tch!

All right.

(Moans)

There's a... There's a resemblance

to amphibian tissue,

but these hair follicles would seem

to rule that out.

I mean, the only thing I do know -

this is definitely a predator.

So now we're part of the food chain.

We always have been.
