We need to move her out of the water.

Nice and easy now. And... lift!

Argh!

- You f***ers!

- Juno, find something to make a splint out of.

- It's OK, I've got her.

- Hey, Juno, use one of the ice axes.

You'll be all right, sweetheart.

OK.

- Sarah!

- Juno, I'm gonna need your help here.

- Sarah!

- Juno!

Take hold of her arm.

You'll have to hold her down.

What are you gonna do?

I need to dress the wound and rig up a splint,

but I can't while the bone is protruding.

I need to push it back in.

- I hate you.

- I know.

Do it.

Bite down on this.

- Keep hold of her.

- Just f***ing bite down, OK?

Go!

Come on!

Just keep biting down, baby.

Come on.

OK, someone get me a medical kit.

OK, OK, OK. Calm down. It'll be all right.

What are you doing?

I just saw something ahead in the tunnel.

Sarah, I promise you,

I'm gonna get you out of here.

But I can't do it unless you're with me.

Sarah?

Sarah!

Sarah, look at me.

There's nothing there.

That's the best I can do.

It'll hurt like hell and you can't put any weight

on it, but at least you can move.

They combed these mountains centuries ago.

Anyone trapped would be a skeleton now.

- That is just what it looked like.

- What?

- Sarah thinks she saw someone.

- Saw what?

I don't think I saw someone, I saw someone.

No, you heard something

and saw what you wanted to see.

- It's the dark. It plays tricks on people.

- I can describe exactly what I saw.

- What did you see?

- A man. I saw a man.

Are you sure?

- Yes!

And it's not the first time. I thought

I saw someone before, but now I'm sure.

Look, if there is somebody down here,

then maybe they can help get us out.

Sarah, there's no-one down here.

Forget about it!

Hey, we have to get Holly out of here.

OK? This is all that matters right now.

- Beth!

- It's OK.

Is it? F***!

F*** me.

You've got to keep warm.

Why are we walking away?

There was daylight back there.

It wasn't. It was phosphorus in the rock.

We're two miles underground,

the only light down here is ours.

Argh! Well, it looked like f***ing daylight to me.

Right tunnel!

I got you. OK?

Jesus! What is this place?

Holly, where's the infrared button?

Dead animals.

Hundreds of them.

This is not good, guys.

Can we get out of here? Which way?

Come on.

- I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know?

There's no breeze. It could be

any one of these tunnels. Take your pick.

Oh, f*** it! Hello!

- Please!

- Is there anybody there?

Hello!

It's there! It's up there!

It's there on the roof!

F***ing hell, did you see...?

What the f*** was that?

I don't know!

It moved so fast, I could barely see it!

- I've never seen anyone climb like that!
