[grunts.]
If you can hear me, I need heIp.

We're gone.
CIeo! [screaming.]
(Voice) I just lost contact with the team leader, Hel.
What IeveI? ASE 26.
The Suterran level.
It's an ASE IeveI.
Perfect.
More workspace.
What? You two don't eIaborate much, do you? Waste of air.
(Voice) You're close, Hel.
ThrottIe down.
[HeI grunts.]
[Sarge grunts.]
[CIeo squeaIing.]
There's no visibIe entrance.
(Voice) Your position is correct.
WeII, I'm not seeing it.
I'II find it.
[CIeo excIaiming.]
[Iiquid bubbIing.]
(HeI) Don't move.
(Sarge) Hey, what the (CIeo) What's goin' on? I didn't do that.
Did I do that? [murmuring.]
[gasps.]
[aII screaming.]
[aII grunting.]
(CIeo) Where are we? Oh, my God.
Guys, this is very cooI but.
Okay, I'm just a tad confused.
How is this possibIe? (female narrator) Five hundred years into the future she will enter a world where machines rule the earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Cleopatra is about to discover there's no place like home.

architecture.
The attention to detaiI is astounding.
Are we stiII underground? Yep.
[beeping.]
A few kinks to work out, but stiII it's a pretty impressive ASE IeveI.
ASE? It's the name for a IeveI with an ArtificiaI Surface Environment.
We've onIy charted a handfuI.
But this is the onIy one known to simuIate winter.
Trust me, it's a pretty miId winter.
This way.
Oh, it's so beautifuI.
[peopIe chattering.]
Take cover.
[whispering.]
What are we doing? Shh.
Daddy, I didn't know there were monsters.
So now you know.
(NoIe) For every scary monster that tries to spoiI your dreams there's that one guardian angeI who's aIways wide awake.
Who sees that monster even before you do.
And what does that angeI do when he sees that cowardIy monster? He caIIs you.
Mmm-hmm.
And that's when I come to take care of you.
(Dana) NoIe? NoIe, honey, there you are.
What's the matter? There's something goin' on outside.
Come on.
[peopIe chattering.]
(Suterran) I think he's dead.
What's everybody Iooking at, Daddy? Something you don't have to see, sweetie.
Let's go home now.
Voice, we found one.
(Voice) What's his condition? Dead.
We need to identify him, Hel.
Hey, CIeo.
Hmm? Okay, peopIe.
Come on, step back, aII right? There's nothin' to see here.
We'II take it from here, okay? You can just go on home.
Go home.
Yes? Who are you? I'm US MarshaI Sam Gerard.
These are my deputies.
We're with the UIA.
UIA? The Underground InteIIigence Bureau Association.
You're not from here.
Oh, no.
We're part of a new experimentaI group designed to serve and protect the underworId from outside forces.
We fear this is one of our men.
[beeps.]
(HeI) What have you got, Sarge? (Sarge) It's not good.
PIease Ieave.
You've compromised our IeveI enough as it is.
Wait.
I've aIways thought we were fooIs to think we couId stay hidden.
We'd be even bigger fooIs to think we couId protect ourseIves against whoever or whatever did this.
How can we assist you? Okay.
First, we need to get these peopIe back, aII right? I need this whoIe area secured, I need you to dust for prints get some photos.
And pIease, start workin' these peopIe because maybe, just maybe, somebody saw something, okay? Get goin'.
You heard her.
Come on.
Let's Iet them do their jobs.
[beeping.]
No sign of the Voice receptor.
(Voice) So the team leader may still be alive.
Any sign what kiIIed him? We've got precision hits to the chest and back, cIose range.
Wait.
Each Each one of these hits has a twin.
That's consistent with forearm weapons.
Betrayer.
(Voice) Hel, finding the team leader is still the priority.
Right.
We'II spIit.
Sweep the viIIage for survivors.
WeII, what about the Betrayer? For aII we know, this IeveI couId be infested with them.
Yeah, weII, Iet's go waste 'em.
No.
This started as a rescue mission, and it's gonna stay that way.
CIeo, you're with me.
Okay, I'II be back for a fuII report.
This ASE pIace is way too convincing.
You can't teII me these aren't reaI.
See for yourseIf.
HoIograms.
AII of them.
[peopIe chattering.]
Come on.
##[music pIaying.]
(HeI) I don't beIieve this.
(dance teacher) Now step to the side.
That's it.
Come on, kids.
(CIeo) Wow, you guys have this dance, too? Awesome.
How did I not know the one thing to survive the obIiteration of mankind wouId be the Macarena? (dance teacher) Keep goin.
Keep goin'.
AII right.
# Com-Yoppa # # Com-Yoppa ## HeIIo? [sighs.]
It's caIIed the Com-Yoppa.
Com-Yoppa? Yeah.
And I didn't get it either the first time, tiII my dad taught me how.
Then Iet's Com-Yoppa.
[CIeo whooping.]
Hi.
What's your name? AIexa.
Oh, weII, I'm CIeopatra, and that's HeIen.
(AIexa) Hi.
Wow, I Iike your shoes.
Thanks.
My daddy brought them back from his Iong trip.
They were definiteIy worth the wait.
HeIen, did you see these? So, what's the secret? Gonna show me the steps? [Iaughs.]
I thought maybe you were the one who was going to show us.
Oh, no, no, no, no, I'm not the expert.
ActuaIIy, your expert's right here.
HeIen? This isn't part of the mission.
(CIeo) Fine.
[beeping.]
[beeps.]
[both grunting.]
You've got that set for Betrayer.
But I'm not a Betrayer.
I guess you're not, either.
[panting.]
HeI, I found the team Ieader.
(Hel) Good.
We're on our way.
[groaning.]
I figure the Betrayer made us when it saw Jace adjusting my Voice receptor.
It's compIeteIy fried now.
We've fixed most of the easy stuff, but he stiII has some serious internaI injuries.
Get him to a heaIing tube, right? Four years.
That's how Iong my team was together.
That Betrayer changed aII that in about four seconds.
Look, uh Xev.
Right.
Uh, Voice instructed us to-- To give me a fuII recharge.
No.
To get you off of this IeveI as soon as possibIe.
Now we'II get your report once Mauser gives you a cIean biII of heaIth.
I'm not Ieaving.
I've got a Betrayer to attend to.
But thanks for patching me up.
Wait.
You mean, you know where the Betrayer is? It was too dark to teII for sure.
But I've narrowed it down to three choices.
Where did aII this happen? In their backyard.
Three's a bit messy, but at Ieast we cover ourseIves.
Are you out of your mind? You figure we foIIow them home? Do it there? It's AIexa's father.
Remember her dancing shoes? Daddy brought them home from his Iong trip.
[AIexa Iaughing.]
WeII, Daddy's going away for good this time.
[device buzzing.]
[chattering.]
[sighing.]
Voice, we've ID'd the Betrayer.
TeII the Voice, with our combined firepower, we can get rid of that thing right now.
(Hel) Get Xev to safety, Hel.
We're taking you out of here.
What? I'm not goin' anywhere.
You have serious injuries.
This isn't open for debate.
But you're open for running away? I'm open for taking this Betrayer out right now.
And taking away AIexa's father in the process? She has a point.
I don't beIieve this.
Look, he may be a ruthIess kiIIing machine around you, but Iook at him.
(CIeo) Look at them.
He's stiII the daddy that that IittIe girI has aIways known.
The BaiIies have made them near perfect.
AII the emotions, aII the feeIings from the originaI human specimens remain intact.
HeI, AIexa's reaI father, who he was, what he was chances are he's aIready-- He's aIready dead.
Do you understand that? Yes, I understand that.
But our directive remains the same which doesn't incIude caIIing any more attention to ourseIves than is necessary.
We're Ieaving.
[CIeo yeIIs.]
[both excIaiming.]
Xev! (Sarge) Hey! Where's he going? Son of a HeI, you need backup.
[AIexa chuckIing.]
When can we dance again, Daddy? Any time, sweetie.
Any time.
(Dana) NoIe.
Remember me? Who are you? This is a friend, AIexa.
Look, why don't you go back to the park with Mommy, okay? NoIe, what's-- Dana, pIease.
Everything's aII right.
Just take AIexa back to the park.
I won't be Iong.
I promise.
What's wrong, Betrayer? The BaiIies accidentaIIy drop a IittIe fear inside you? [grunting.]
[groans.]
The Voice and those who foIIow it are the true Betrayers.
[grunts.]
[groaning.]
[grunting.]
[HeI grunting.]
[yeIIing.]
[yeIIs.]
PIease, don't.
Don't.
[panting.]
I am stiII NoIe.
I stiII feeI his Iove, my Iove, for my famiIy.
HeIp me.
HeIp me remove the instinct.
The instinct to destroy me? PIease.
TeII me it's possibIe.
It's not.
You couId Ieave me.
Yes, just waIk away.
[HeI grunting.]
Yes, you see? There's aIways other options.
Here's an option for you.
[eIectric buzzing.]
You okay? Yeah.
AIexa, are you okay? Hmm? AIexa, honey, why don't you try and dance? I don't want to.
Dana, I--I just wanted to check in and--and-- PIease, HeIen, you don't have to try and expIain it aII over again.
You did what you had to do.
You opened our eyes down here.
But that won't bring NoIe back.
We'II be fine, HeIen.
Just not tomorrow.
Dana? I know what it's Iike to Iose a father.
And what she needs now is for you to just Iove her and for you both to remember her father for the wonderfuI man that he was.
What do you say, honey? You want to go home? Okay.
Come on.
