God damn it, let me hear you say it.

How do you give a lemon an orgasm?

What do you do? You tickle its citrus.

OK, that's better. Come on.

OK, OK. All right, we're going to move now.

Take hold of my arm, all right?

We're going to move slowly.

That's it, grab my arm, OK?

OK, come on.

Just slowly. Pull on me, OK?

OK, come on.

The rope bag. I forgot the rope bag.

OK.

OK, f*** the rope bag. OK, move, now!

Now!

Hurry up!

Sarah, come on!

Sarah, keep hold of the rope!

Sarah?

Oh, ah.

- Are you OK?

- I'm all right.

Is everybody OK? Is everybody OK?

- Don't f***ing touch me.

Rebecca?

I'm here, I'm OK.

Beth, are you injured?

No, I'm fine.

- Nobody move until the dust has settled.

- Don't worry, Juno, we're not going anywhere.

You might be right about that.

Jesus.

So what's the story now?

According to the guidebook,

this cave system has three ways out.

This is just one of them.

Isn't that right, Juno?

Juno, that's right, isn't it?

Check the book.

- I didn't bring it.

- What?

No point.

For Christ's sake, Juno.

I knew it. I knew this wasn't right.

You filed a flight plan to mountain rescue?

If we don't report in, they'll come looking for us.

That's how it's supposed to work

except I put in a flight plan for Boreham Caverns

and this isn't Boreham Caverns, is it, Juno?

We're in the wrong f***ing cave?

Holly was right.

Boreham Caverns was a tourist trap.

- Don't try and pin this f***ing shite on me!

- This is not caving. This is an ego trip.

Rebecca,

I didn't know this was going to happen.

This is exactly what we believe in.

We said, if there's no risk, what's the point?

Don't try and justify this.

Where... Where are we?

It hasn't got a name. It's a new system.

I wanted us all to discover it.

No-one's ever been down here before.

- You're f***ing kidding me.

- Oh, God!

How the hell do we get out?

There may not be a way out.

Look, there's no going back now.

We have to find a way out of this chamber

and keep pushing forward.

What the f*** do you think you're doing?

We all trusted you. You told me

this was going to be good for Sarah.

Have you any idea what she's been through?

No, cos you couldn't get away fast enough,

you selfish cow.

You know what, Beth?

We all lost something in that crash.

Just get us out of here.

Look, cave systems

sometimes break ground. It's a small chance.

But if we stay here, we'll die.

Let's go.

Wait!

- What?

Don't move, Sam. Just don't move.

Stay right there.

Oh, sh*t. No more.

Thanks, Beth.

Now I know how far down it is.

So, what now?

One of us has to get all the way across there

so they can rig a line for you guys.

I have three cams, I need at least three more.
