Hello. It's okay.
Oh shit.

It's all right. It's all right.
It's okay. It's okay.
You hurt?
Is it Sarah?
- Where'd you get that?
- Just back there.
Just back there.
It's all in there. It's all in there.
- Where is my water?
Where is my water?
- It's all right.
I'm not, I'm not gonna hurt
you, all right?
Listen, how'd you get down here?
Huh?
What happened to you?
Let me see that leg, huh?
It looks bad.
Hey.
Sarah!
- Shh.
- What are you doing?
- Shh. They'll hear us.
Shh.
- Who?
It's all right.
- Shh.
- It's okay.
- Shh.
- Hey, that leg.
It's really bad.
Here.
I have to tie it off.
Let me help you, okay?
Here.
It's okay.
Just let me tie it off for
you so it stops bleeding.
All right?
All right.
It's okay.
It's all right.
It's okay. I'm going under, all right?
Here you go.
Easy.
- Are you a doctor?
- No.
My wife is though.
Learned a couple things from her.
- I hate doctors.
Fucking money grabbers.
- All right.
Sorry about that.
It's okay, just apply the pressure.
I need you to hold that.
Oh. All right.
You're not the only one there.
I got a good cut on the way in.
But I'm gonna need help soon.
That's not gonna hold.
You got a phone?
- I dropped it.
- Where? Back there?
It's
all right, I'll go back and-
- It's not back there.
I left it in my car. I
just started running.
- Damn quakes.
What?
- Quakes?
You think, you think this
was a fucking earthquake?
- Yeah.
That's what's been going
on the past couple weeks.
What else would it be?
- You really didn't see?
- It's all right. They're
digging down for us.
We're gonna be okay.
- Oh, no one is coming.
They're all dead.
- Who's all dead?
- Shh.
- What are you talking about?
- Shh.
- Who's all dead?
- Everyone.
I was supposed to be watching them.
- No.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Listen, I don't know
what you think you saw,
but either way we can't
stay right here, okay?
We're gonna have to keep moving.
Do you think you can move with the leg?
Hey!
Do you think you can move with this leg?
Huh?
- Oh, God.
- All right.
All right, I think that's a yes.
Can move. That's good.
It's all right. You got it.
You good?
Listen, you outta let me get ahead.
- Yeah, I don't think so.
- Come on.
You're doing a lot worse off than I am
so I can get ahead and scout.
- You're not getting past me.
You think I don't know what you're doing?
- What am I doing?
- You'd never come back for me.
You'd leave me here to fucking die.
- I'm not gonna leave you here to die.
- Yeah? Why should I trust you?
- You got a kid, right?
Saw his picture in your wallet.
Here.
He looks about the same age as Jessica.
My oldest.
She's six.
That's Michael. Four.
I gotta get back to them, all right?
You gotta get back to
your kid too, I assume.
So just let me get ahead
and it'll be a lot quicker.
All right, Sarah?
Come on.
I'm trying to help both of us out here.
Now what do you say?
- Why do you keep calling me Sarah?
- Because that's what was in your...
It's not your wallet.
You stole it? Yeah.
All right, well, either way, not Sarah,
I've gotta get forward
and make this a smoother,
quicker operation, all right?
- Yeah. No.
- It's not a question.
I gotta get ahead, okay?
- Hey.
- It's gonna be-
- No.
- easier that way.
Hey, what is that all about?
Easy.
Hey.
Come on, you don't want to use that.
- Oh yeah?
Just fucking try me.
- You don't wanna make noise, right?
You fire that, and it's
gonna make a shit tonne,
and whatever you're scared
of is definitely gonna be-
- You should shut the fuck up.
Maybe I kill us both. Get it over with.
You want that?
To never seen Michael or Jennifer again?
- It's Jessica.
And I'd like to see both of them.
- Hand it over.
Come on.
Hand it over.
Let's move.
Keep your distance and don't try anything.
- I'm not trying anything.
- Good.
- You know, usually the
hostage is in front.
- Oh yeah?
Well, I feel much safer with you behind.
- What the hell was that?
Turn it on.
- Shh.
- Turn that back on.
- Shh.
- What was that?
- Quiet.
- The hell was that?
- They found us.
- Who?
- Shut up.
Turn it off. Turn it off.
It's too bright.
Please turn it off.
- All right. All right.
Give me the camera.
- What?
The one that's not yours.
Just hand it to me.
- Just be quiet.
- All right.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Okay, here we go.
- No.
- Shit.
Okay.
All right. All right.
Yeah.
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go.
God dammit.
Shit.
All right.
- You saw it?
- There's nothing.
- Holy fuck.
- I'm more worried about
the structure of this place.
- Oh shit. I need to get
the fuck out of here.
- Hey.
Do you have somebody
you gotta get back to?
- Joe. My brother.
He's the only one who could
be looking for me, and...
- He went alone?
You're gonna need to
keep some pressure on it.
- Give me my camera.
It's mine.
What?
- Running low on battery.
Still no signal.
- Oh, God.
- Go!
- Oh my God. God.
- Shit.
- Where is it?
Where did it go?
- Shh.
- What are you doing?
- Shh.
- What is that?
- Oh my God.
Did you see that?
- I think it's trapped.
- Still think this was an earthquake?
Shit.
Okay. Okay.
- What?
- Oh no.
- What?
- Oh shit.
They're gone.
- What? What are gone?
- The pills.
The fucking pills are gone.
- We'll get new pills.
We'll get new pills, all right?
- Give me that.
Okay.
Oh my God, they're right there.
They're just over there. See?
- We are not going back for those pills.
- It's only 30 feet away.
- I don't care.
I'll get you new fucking crazy
pills when we're out of here.
Okay?
- Okay.
- 'Kay?
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Will you just hold this?
- Yeah.
- I'm not moving until I get those pills.
Go on.
Go.
It's not far.
Tell me you got them.
Good.
Come on.
Come on.
- So what the fuck are those things?
Tell me what you know.
- You wanna know what I know?
Okay.
What I know is those fucking
things killed my sister.
We were,
we were arguing.
I caught her skipping school,
so I was driving her back,
and then something hits
us and we start spinning,
and I wake up at the wheel,
and one of those things was
dragging her out of the car,
and I ran.
- And your sister?
Couldn't get back to her?
- She was already dead.
They'd ripped her fucking arm off.
- I'm sorry.
- Amber.
That was her name.
And she was everything to me.
- Do you know where they came from?
- No idea.
I just know they can't be stopped.
Now stay quiet and keep moving.
Shit.
- So how did you get down here?
- I hid in the wreckage.
And it made this awful noise
and more of them kept coming,
so I just started running,
and suddenly the ground
split out from under me
and they were huge.
I have no idea how they could
have followed us down here.
But how did you get down here
and with no fucking idea what's going on?
- All I know is there's been earthquakes,
and that's what I thought it was.
I was crossing the street,
heard a cracking sound,
and next thing I know, I'm
at the bottom of it all.
- Well, this looks fun.
- It's gonna get tight.
It's gonna get real tight.
- Keep your voice down.
Okay.
Shit.
Fuck.
. Turn it on.
- I'm trying to.
It's not...
Give me my camera.
I can't see shit.
Pass me your phone.
- No.
- Okay, fine, hold onto it,
but can we at least get
some light over here?
- I don't want to use the battery.
- Oh.
- It's dying,
and it could be our only way out.
- You gotta be shitting me.
Everyone is a little preoccupied up there.
Or dead.
- Why you gotta say stuff like that?
- Are you not hearing
anything that I am saying?
Nothing can survive up there.
We survived down here.
It means they could be alive up there.
Not everyone's dead.
- It'll just be great.
You get back on top, see your
perfect little family again.
- Yeah, it's not exactly like that.
- What?
Sweet kids, loving wife.
Sounds pretty fucking perfect to me.
- Soon to be ex-wife.
- Holy shit.
Holy shit.
Do you see that?
- Yeah.
That's good. That's really good.
- There we go.
We out?
Okay.
- This,
this can't be.
This can't be happening.
It can't.
- It's all right.
- It can't.
- Hey.
I, I, I can't.
- Shh.
Hey.
Easy. It's okay.
Hey, at least we got another
light source, all right?
This is good news, right?
We're gonna get out.
Just gotta stay calm,
keep pushing forward, okay?
You got it?
You got it, all right?
All right?
- Yeah.
- All right, let's go.
At least we know someone's close.
Oh. Oh.
Shit.
Is he, is he alive?
Is he breathing?
- I dunno.
Hey?
I don't think so.
Stuck.
God.
- Nice.
- What is it?
It's a knife?
- Yeah.
- Hey. Hey.
- What?
- Let me hold onto it.
- No.
- Hey.
Come on.
Thank you.
- Oh dear God.
Oh, God.
Seems like our luck is changing.
Okay.
Okay.
Here.
- I'm good. I'm good.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
- What?
- I'm six months sober. I'm good.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
- Well, seems like the
perfect time for relapse.
Just take a sip. It'll calm your nerves.
Oh, God.
- That'll be perfect actually.
- Huh?
- Yeah.
- No.
Hey, just, you don't, don't waste it.
Fuck.
Just a little.
Okay.
Having fun?
Okay, just.
That's enough.
- Okay.
- Come on.
- All right.
- Oh fucking hell.
- Thank you.
- Not even a sip?
- No.
Not a sip.
- Suit yourself.
Fucking hell.
- After you.
- Oh, God. Okay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God. Okay.
Oh shit.
What are you doing?
- I'm putting his wallet back
in case anybody comes looking for him.
- Jesus.
Fuck.
Hurry up.
- Help me.
Help me. Help me.
- Shut up.
- Help me.
Help me.
- Oh, God.
- Help me. Help me.
- He's grabbing my leg.
Get off, get off.
- Help.
- Turn it off. Turn it off.
- Oh my God.
- Go!
- It's moving on.
- I can't see shit, and I
don't know what's ahead.
- We know exactly what's behind us.
- I'm gonna turn the light on.
- Shh.
Hey? You okay?
Is that blood?
- I'm fine.
- All right.
You need to rest.
- I'm not going to rest
with that thing behind us.
- I'm serious.
You've been pushing yourself too hard.
I'm gonna get outta here.
First thing I'll do-
- The first thing you're gonna
do is get me help, right?
Before running back to your family,
you gonna help some complete stranger?
A complete stranger who
held the gun to your head.
You can see why I'm having a
hard time understanding this.
- You're just gonna have to trust.
- I don't have to do shit.
My best bet is to stay exactly as I am.
- How the hell is that our best bet?
- It's mine, and you know exactly how.
- No, I don't.
Why don't you tell me?
- You're really gonna make me say it?
- Yeah, I am.
The only thing that is standing between me
and that thing back there is you.
- So I'm bait.
- Oh, come on. You made me say it.
- I'm sorry, but I'm
not gonna die down here.
- Hey. Hey.
Think about this for a second.
Take it easy.
- I don't wanna hurt you.
- Good. Then put the knife down.
- But I'm not gonna let you
keep us from getting outta here.
- Don't.
Don't.
- Stop.
- Please, don't.
Don't, don't.
- I don't want to.
- Please don't. Please don't.
- Stop.
- Don't.
Don't make me do it, please.
- Just let me get ahead.
- No.
- You'll kill us both.
Shh. Shh.
- Oh, oh, God.
- Go. Go.
Come on.
It's got me. It's got me!
Shoot it.
God, help me.
- Shit.
How?
No way.
Is it dead?
- Yes.
- Holy shit.
I don't fucking believe it.
With a knife?
- It was already halfway dead.
- Yeah, I can say the same about you.
Are you sure it's dead?
- Yeah.
- There's water ahead.
Ugh.
Must be a burst water main.
Come on. We gotta get you cleaned up.
Oh.
Okay.
Before, I shouldn't have. I should have.
I just-
- Just let's go.
Let's move forward.
I don't wanna talk about it. Let's go.
- Okay.
- Here, you want some?
You know, I still can't
fucking believe a knife?
- Yeah.
- I underestimated you.
- It was nothing.
- It was brave.
- That's not what my kids would say.
- What do you mean?
You just fucking killed one of those-
- There was, there was a fire.
There was a fire.
It spread everywhere.
My wife went to Jessica's room.
They got out of the window.
It was up to me to get Michael.
I could see his room,
but I couldn't get to it.
It was up in flames,
and I just knew he was on
the other side burning.
- Did, did he?
- Fire team got him in time
and took him down to the hospital.
Been up in the garage
all the night before.
I don't even remember passing out.
But I left the heater on.
It was entirely my fault.
- When did this happen?
- Six months ago.
When we brought Michael
back from the hospital,
I moved out that day,
and I haven't drunken a drop since.
I couldn't protect them then.
I can't protect them now.
- That's bullshit.
- The only way I could do it
is protecting them from me.
- That's fucking bullshit.
Your kids need you.
Walking out on them, that
is what hurts them the most.
Trust me.
You wanna protect them, right?
Then you don't make
bullshit fucking excuses.
You, you face your shit, you be their dad,
you be a husband to your
wife, and you show up.
- Yeah.
- Now is your chance to do that.
- What was that you said about
everyone being dead up there?
- Oh, so now you're listening to me?
- Yeah. Kinda.
- Me and Joe, we had a lot of
problems at home growing up.
It was sort of always me
and him against the world, you know?
I remember the day that
he got his own place,
and I begged him to let me come too.
He could never say no to me.
His first couple years
were hard though because
Amber, she had to stay with my mom.
Anyway, eventually we, we took her in too.
I gained a real appreciation for Joe,
because the shit that I gave him
while he essentially raised me.
These past couple of years have been,
it's Joe.
His, his mind isn't what it used to be,
and so now I take on
all the responsibility,
and we're being evicted, and
I have no idea what to do.
And none of that even matters
anymore because Amber.
You done?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
You'll live. Trust me.
- Shit.
No.
Fuck.
Fuck.
It's a dead end.
- What?
- It's a fucking dead end. We're trapped.
No.
Shit.
Fuck.
Okay. Okay.
It's stuck.
Fuck.
What do we do?
- Maybe we turn around.
- We can't turn around.
We're not going back.
Okay.
Come on.
Come on.
- That's it.
- Come on.
Come on, move.
- That's it.
- Come on.
Come on.
- Come on!
That's it. Come on.
- Oh my God.
I can see some sort of structure.
There's like a grate.
- Sewer?
- Oh my God.
Come on. Okay.
Oh my God. Okay.
That was good.
- Shit.
Yeah. That's good.
- Can you reach it?
- Okay, come on. So close.
You got this.
Okay.
- It's all right.
- Give me a boost.
- You sure?
- Yes, come on.
Let's just do it.

Ready?
- Yeah.
Oh no. No, no, no.
Okay, yeah. Yeah.
Okay. I got it.
- You got it?
- Okay.
Is it moving?
- Fuck, no. It's stuck.
Okay, one more time.
- I'm trying.
- Fuck.
- What is it?
- No, it's not working.
It's not working.
- All right, I'm bringing you down.
- There's gotta be
something we can use, right?
- Come on.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Help.
- Help us.
Please.
- Down here.
- Can anybody hear us?
- I hear people in the sewer.
- Hey.
- Help.
- Let's go check it out.
- Please.
- Hello.
- Help.
- Here.
Oh shit.
- Who's down there?
- Here.
- We're, we're stuck.
We can't get the grate open.
Please help us.
- I see you.
Is it just the two of you?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- All right,
I need you to stay calm.
- Please.
- Is there anything
else down there with you?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Stay there. I'll be back.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
No, wait, wait. No, no.

- Are either of you injured?
- Yes.
- Yeah, pretty bad.
- Get me the med kit and winch.

- Water.
Don't worry. Everything's gonna be okay.
- Thank you.

We gotta get out, all right?
We gonna climb back into the hole.
We need to climb back into
the hole, do you understand?
We're climbing back into that hole.

Don't give up on me.

I'm gonna get in.
Okay.
Okay, I'm gonna go scout it, all right?
I'm gonna see if there's
another way, all right?
Okay.
I can't see shit.
Hold on.
I'm gonna try and do it again.
There's a way.
- Okay, okay.

All right. Okay.
Let's do it, let's go.

You're part of the family, right?
Time for school. Time for school.
- Hey, guys.

new family members over here.
Scoob. Now's who's this?
We gotta name this guy.

That's such a silly name.
Puppy.
That's a fun name.
- That's a puppy.
- Puppy.
- That's how we're doing Puppy?
Oh.
- That's a puppy.
- Oh.
Kate.
Kate, life, life really is beautiful,
especially with kids.
They help you see so much.
