The Descent

Hold on, girls! Here we go!

More to the left.

- Can you see her? - Mummy!

Look out!

- Mummy! - Hey, guys!

Come on, Jessie!

That was amazing.

You girls were screaming.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

- No, that was a piece of piss. - Yeah.

- Bit more, bit more. - Go on, Paul, fish her out.

There, got you.

- You all right? - Yeah.

It's freezing. I can't feel my fingers.

Jessica, come here.

Oh, baby!

Come on, Jessie, it's freezing. Let's go back to the car.

Go with your daddy. I'll just help the girls.

It's okay. You go on. We can finish up here.

You sure? Thanks, guys. I'll see you at the hotel. Yeah?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Jess, when we get home,

shall I phone Rachel's mum?

See if Rachel wants to

come for dinner on Thursday?

- Yeah. - Yeah? Okay.

When she comes round,

she can help us plan your birthday party.

Okay.

You gonna invite any boys this time?

Are you okay? You seem a bit distant.

I'm fine.

Jess?

Jessie!

Jessie!

I'm sorry. She's gone. I'm sorry!

No, no, no, no.

She's gone, Sarah.

No!

Well, it's mud, blood and beer, or sweet Jesus.

Great. Turn that shite off.

That's frightening.

Listen, we don't have to do this, you know.

We can head back and stay in town.

Get wasted, go to a barn dance.

Now that is frightening.

You're right. We don't have to do this.

But I'm not gonna be the one to tell Juno.

She's a piece of work, man.

She always brings us into the middle of... Well, look at it.

She came to Scotland last year.

Yeah, and left pretty quickly.

Sarah! Beth!

Juno. You look fantastic!

Come here.

Let me look at you. Wow.

Everything's gonna be fine. Better. It's gonna be great.

Becca and Sam can't wait to see you. Why don't you go in?

- Okay. - Give me these.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Thanks.

- Okay? - Yeah. Okay.

Very nice.

How is she?

Well, she's here.

One step at a time, eh?

Hey, hey, hey, who are you calling a fucking cheater?

I'm calling you a fucking cheater.

Hello.

- Hey! - Hello!

Hello.

- You do look really good. - Thank you.

- You look amazing! - Sam, come here.

- Hey! - Hey!

- I'm starving. - Okay, go, go.

Sam. Sam, thank you so much for your letter.

It meant a lot to me.

Sarah, look, I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there.

You know, midterms and...

You know, Sam's gonna be Dr. Van Ney in, like, a year's time.

- No! - Please tell me it's longer than that.

I am so proud of my little sister!

- Who wants a drink? - Me!

- Can I come help? - Yeah, yeah.

So, Beth.

I hear it all starts falling apart past 25.

Is that what they teach you at medical school? Yeah?

To take the piss? Cheeky bitch!

Can anyone make me feel any older?

Oh, here we go.

- Hello. - You must be the teacher.

Beth, Sarah, this is Holly, Juno's protégé.

Really? I always thought Juno would eat her young.

Oh, nice!

I'm well able to handle myself, thanks very much.

I've heard about you. You're that mentalist that jumps off buildings.

Oh, base jumping. You should try it. Seriously.

So you live in America now?

Ran out of things to jump off in Galway, you know.

I'm always searching for the next big high.

- Sure you'd know all about that. - Sorry?

Juno showed me a photo of when you used to climb together.

- No. - Oh, I found this classic picture.

- Oh, no! - Oh, no!

- That's bad. - Sexy!

"Love each day."

Used to be something Paul used to say.

Anyway. Cheers.

Here's to our adventure.

- Skoal! - Cheers!

Come on, light, you bastard!

So, have you done Boreham Caverns before?

I saw it in a book once. It's for tourists. It's not adventure.

Might as well have handrails and a fucking gift shop.

If you're a caver, jumper, climber,

you just do it and not give a shite.

Or the thing that's bigger than you will get you.

You want adventure, Holly? When have I ever let you down?

- What? - Nothing.

Holly, tomorrow's gonna be awesome. Okay?

Take this. You'll need it.

What about Josh, Sam? Are you guys still together?

Kind of, sort of.

Different shifts.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my Jesus!

Look at me, eh!

Don't say a fucking word, all right?

It was a Christmas present!

Shut up.

What about you, Holly? Got a man?

I'm a sports fuck like Juno.

What?

Rebecca, too, I think.

All right, but when I'm older, I want to have lots of babies.

Beth, did Sarah tell you that...

Wakey!

Wakey.

I feel like roadkill. Give me five minutes.

Five minutes.

Good morning, my little ones! Wakey, wakey!

Good morrow!

Is that what you call it? It's fucking freezing!

Holly!

We're leaving at 7:00. Don't be late.

Try that.

The queen is dead.

Long live the fucking queen!

Beth, you're not driving. If you drive, we'll never get there.

Come on. All right, paper, scissors, stone.

- What? Oh, you're a dick. - Come on.

- Okay. - Go on.

- There you go. - No, wait, babe. Best of three.

I'll drive.

All right, ladies. Group photo!

Hey, we got to hurry it up or we're gonna be late.

I look like shit.

We all look like shit. Now just give me a smile.

- Hat? No hat? - No hat, no hat.

All right! Run, run, run.

Say "sausage"!

- Sausage! - Sausage!

- Sarah, slow down a bit. - I'm having fun!

She's having fun. Whoa! Turn. Turn. Turn there.

- Let's off-road! - Great.

You should have some water.

Trying to set this watch is impossible.

The buttons are too fucking small.

- Then leave it alone. - Why do you wear that anyway?

My boyfriend gave it to me. It's sentimental.

It's fucking mental.

Any guy that gave that to me, I'd dump him on the spot.

Juno, are you sure we're going the right way?

Relax! I've never been lost in my life.

Marvelous.

So, have you done these caves before?

No, but they're only level two. They're quite safe. Don't worry.

I wasn't.

The only danger is I might fall asleep.

Boreham Caves. More like Boredom Caves.

- Nice parking. - Thanks.

This one time in Galway when I free-climbed the cathedral,

and the priest chased me down the road for half a mile.

That was brilliant!

- I shouldn't have wasted the effort though. - Holly!

- He passed out. - Rebecca, leave her alone.

Okay, guys, let's get moving. We're running late.

Come on, keep up.

Hey, Holly, wait up.

Move it, short ass!

- Carter, get to the back now. - Come on, you lazy bastard!

You finally caught up with me.

Juno, are we there yet?

There's a river about half a mile ahead.

When we reach it, we follow it up to the mouth of the cave. Okay?

How does she know there's a river up ahead? I can't hear a thing.

She can probably smell it.

She came up here last week to check the route out.

It's rule number one, file a flight plan and stick to it.
