The Descent: Part 2

Jeez!

With the community still shaken

from last year's Slater's Quarry tragedy,

here in Boreham, it's fresh heartache.

As the search for the missing women

moves into the end of its second day,

hope is fading for Senator Kaplan's niece, Juno, and her 5 friends.

Just behind me I can see one of the cave rescue teams

emerging from the caverns.

Good luck, guys. Thanks.

Chimney's pretty tight. You all be careful in there.

Will do. Sir,

any signs of the missing women?

Do you think you'll find them alive?

How does this compare to Slater's Quarry?

That's enough now. Move back.

Do you think you responded quickly enough this time?

Greg, leave it! Greg!

We're back on in 4 hours.

Get some sleep. You too, boss.

Hey, you want to share a sleeping bag?

What's that cologne you're wearing?

Yeah, 6 hours of sweat and dirt and all other kinds of shit.

I think I'll pass.

Lynch? What's up?

What?

Where?

Look, get a tracker dog out there.

See if you can find where she came out.

Yeah, all right, and...

Let's keep the lid on this. All right, I'm on my way to the hospital.

Right, Doc, how is she?

She's resting.

We had to sedate her.

I've got 5 girls missing

and you put the one person who knows where they are to sleep?

She was hysterical.

Besides, she has no memory of the last 2 days.

Whatever happened to her, she's blanked it.

Injuries? Well,

it's only some minor cuts and bruises.

But her clothes were completely stained in blood.

So it's not her blood?

No.

But she's been in a fight, all right,

because judging by her fingernails,

she scratched some big chunks out of somebody.

Test her clothes, get the blood type.

Get the blood type of the other 5 girls.

All right, let's see what you can do.

Hello, Sarah.

I'm Jenna Rios from Hyde County Sheriff's Department.

This is Sheriff Vaines.

How you feeling?

Where am I?

You're safe. You're at Hyde County hospital.

We've been searching for you and your friends.

2 days ago

you all set off on a caving expedition

and you never came back.

We've been following your Boreham Cavern flight plan

but we found nothing.

Can you tell us what happened to you?

I don't know. I can't remember anything.

Sarah, your friends are still missing.

We need you to help us find them.

Beth.

Beth.

What happened to Beth?

What can you remember?

What about Juno?

Jessie.

Where's Jessie?

Your daughter?

Sarah, Sarah,

I need you to listen to me carefully.

Your daughter isn't here, Sarah.

She died.

A year ago, in Scotland.

No.

I know how hard this must be for you,

but you have to try... No, no. No! No.

Come on.

This looks like the end of the trail.

What's that?

That there's Chapel Mine.

Cuffs, come here, come here.

Go find them, boy.

One of these days I'm gonna come up here

and help myself to some of this shit.

What you found, boy? What you found?

Cuffs?

Holy shit!

Sheriff. Dan.

Keep it under your hat, but we found one of the girls.

Dog picked up her scent near the old Chapel Mine.

That's the other side of the county. I know.

Jeez.

Don't tell me we've been looking in the wrong place.

Listen, I don't want to shift the whole goddamn circus.

I just want a couple of volunteers to pick up where the dog left off.

All right, give us an hour.

Cath, Greg, rise and shine.

Blood on Sarah Carter's clothes, A-positive.

Juno Kaplan is A-positive.

So? I'm A-positive. Half the state is A-positive.

Can she walk?

Sure.

Wait, wait, you're not seriously gonna take her out...

Rios, get her dressed and get her in the car.

My granddaddy used to work down there.

One time, him and 2 of his buddies

broke into a whole new cave system.

Really big.

Company bosses figured there should be some rich pickings to be had,

so they sent my granddaddy back down to have a good look-see.

He never come back.

Folks reckoned they must've broke clean through into hell.

The devil was mighty pissed.

So you're telling me that there's an uncharted cave system down there?

Cool.

There's a map of the mines here.

If the caves are uncharted, we won't even know where to begin.

Bring the girl.

Come on, Dan, she's the only one been down there.

All we gotta do is get a nod from her, left or right.

Narrows the search.

There's a mountain full of caves and fuck-all time.

Could piggyback on the elevator cables.

You planning to go down there, why not go down there in style?

What, this old shit still works?

Sonny, let me tell you,

this old shit-bucket will be working

long time after that MP3 of yours.

Whatever.

All right, Ed,

get it going.

I'm sorry, but Mommy's got to help people tonight.

Chica, when Grandma tells you to go to bed, you go to bed, okay?

Honey, I love you.

Okay, baby, I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Rios, get yourself kitted and get her kitted. We're going down.

Okay, Sarah, I know this is difficult,

but if you do this, it could help jog your memory.

Your friends could still be alive.

You have to help us find them.

Hey, Sarah, this might fit you.

You want to lose that heavy metal.

Gun blast down there'd be like dynamite.

Come on, I'll put them in the car.

My gun stays with me.

This is a missing persons case.

What the hell do you think you're gonna find down there?

Mummy.

Right, let's get moving.

Come on.

You all ready to ride?

Yeah, let's do it.

Jesus.

Hang on, just wait up a second.

Here, drink this.

She's okay. Let me worry about her.

Come on, Dan, let's get to the goddamn cave.

Listen. Down here, I call the shots.

Is that understood?

Loud and clear.

Let's go.

Should be a ladder down there.

How long have I been teaching you?

Your light is your life.

Hey.

All right. Okay, we've gotta go down another level.

Greg.

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

Is it okay?

You know what's good? Modern mines have metal props.

Miners prefer these old wooden ones.

Why's that?

The metal ones don't give you any warning when they're about to go.

After you.

Okay, we should hit the cave system somewhere up here.

Greg, go scout ahead.

You got it.

And Cath, you're next. Deputy.

I think I've found it.

What the hell is that?

It's a pit pony.

Always a good sign.

Check it out. This is awesome.

Greg, T.I.

Hey, hey. Don't... Don't touch anything.

This place is thousands of years old.

Well, you're hot.

Get away.

Sarah, do you recognize anything?

What?

It's okay. It's okay, she just got spooked.

Calcium deposits.

Let's keep moving.

It's okay, come on. Come on.
