[ NARRATOR ] Previously on Red Ruby
Dammit Mike! If there's something you know, you need to tell me.
Sorry, it's a trap
What's wrong with you people?
Goodbye for now, little prince
You said that house was on Hazel Drive?

I can't bite anyone else
I want you to

[ IAN VO ] Which side are you on anyway?

[ WOMAN OS ] Don't worry, child.
- You're safe now.
Maya!
Come back for us!
[ MAYA, OS ] I promise, Ruby
Anyone got any batteries?
On my last two.
Great.
My mom is not gonna be happy when we get out of here.
Yeah, "if"
We get out of here.
You can't talk like that.
They got Maya out, they'll come back for us.
[ VIOLENTLY COUGHS ]
You - you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm just - just cold.
We're running out of food and the batteries are dying.
Well, I hope you're not afraid of the dark.
Why do you have to be such a jerk all the time?
You know why
Ian
I told you Maya likes you
and you're her boyfriend
only because you blew me off
Maya would kill me for even having this conversation
Well...
she can't kill you
if you're already dead
[ TENSE MUSIC ]
[ TENSE, LOW MUSIC ]
Hey Amber!
Wanna come play "War"?
Me?
Well, sure!
[ FOOTSTEPS IN DIRT ]
[ MYSTERIOUS, SOMBER MUSIC ]
you need to drink
I'm fine, sis
I just need to rest a little
Come on.
[ COUGHS ]
[ SOMBER, SAD MUSIC ]
I'm worried about my brother.
He was sick this morning
It's been two days since they found Maya.
She can't be far.
She?
The woman who got Maya?
I've seen her around Millwood.
Why would she be down here?
I don't know, I mean...
The whole town is probably looking for us.
I'd feel better if it was the fire department
or someone official.
Hey...
I mean, we don't know...
President Clinton and the National Guard could be looking for us up there.
I sure hope so
something on your mind?
No!
Oh.
They've become fast friends, huh?
Um, that's not what it was, I'm just...
You know, Maya
she wouldn't like any of this.
You sure it's Maya you're worried about?
[ OMINOUS MUSIC ]
Favorite sport team...
Blue Jays.
Favorite Spice Girl.
[ COUGHS ]
Posh.
What about our favorite cousin?
[ WHEEZES ]
Guys, his pulse is really weak. I'm scared.
Help!
Anyone, please!
Help us!
[ SILENCE ]
This is it.
They're never gonna come for us.
We're all gonna die down here.
- We have to keep hoping!
- It's been two days.
If anyone was gonna come for us, we'd know by now.
She's right, Maisey.
This is it.
This is the end.
If anyone can hear us.
Please help us.
Pretty please?
[ SUSPENSE SFX, BUILDS ]
[ MYSTERIOUS KEYBOARD MUSIC ]
Finally.
What took you so long?
Be still, child.
You're buried beneath a 100 foot of sandstone rock.
And as good as dead.
No man could cut through earth so dense.
Then, how did you do it?
Because I am no mere human.
Where are the others?
We need help.
You're just some old lady.
And I'm your only hope.
But, I can't get you out of here.
[ WHEEZING, COUGHING ]
Poor boy.
He's barely breathing, please!
Our friend, Maya...
Is she safe?
I took her safe
to her family
then why didn't you help us?
Because you're too far down
And he...
is too far gone.
[ WHEEZES ]
Malcolm, Malcolm!
Give him to me.

Are we - ?
I don't know, I think so -
How long have we been out for?
At least a day, maybe more?
Malcolm!
She killed him.
He's dead.
We're all dead now, Maisey.
Forever.
Maisey...
You...
[ LOW, EERIE MUSIC ]
That stupid game again?
Come on, Amber.
Let's go explore a bit.
You heard what Claudia said, no exploring.
What is she? Your mother?
Cut it out, Ian.
Or what?
Or I'll knock you out again.
Why do you listen to everything Claudia says?
Because she's our only hope of getting out of here one day.
We've been down here a year, Ruby.
Why do you think she brings us gadgets and books?
To distract us!
She's keeping us down here on purpose.
Don't be silly, Ian.
Once we're strong enough, she'll let us up.
We're just not yet.
You're so naive.
[ GAME PIECE CLICKS ]
That's four!
Pay up, Amber.
[ EERIE, SLOW MUSIC ]
[ GRUNTING ]
[ SLURPING ]
You've been gone a month.
What took you so long?
Be grateful, child.
Blood just doesn't appear out of thin air.
Grateful?
You've kept us prisoner down here.
We would've been better off like Malcolm.
Dead for good.
Why can't you just let us go?
You wouldn't last a week on the ground.
Humans fear what they misunderstand.
...and what they're scared of, they destroy.
Their planet,
their enemies,
even each other.
You can't keep us down here forever, Claudia.
We've gotten stronger.
Like you said
We can protect ourselves now.
This isn't some children's story, you silly little girl.
Our kind are powerful when we feed
when blood
flows through our brittle bones
But...
the shot soon fades
and what will you do then?
You'll be alone
and vulnerable
a sitting duck
You're lying
You're just trying to keep us down here for yourself
You're a lonely old nag
and one day,
we'll make you pay
- Ian! - What, Ruby?
She's strung us along for 15 years
We're almost as old as our parents now
But, this isn't her fault
That's right, child
Each is entitled to his own opinion
Maybe in time
you'll understand
Well, that's all we have - you and I
Time.
- Honestly, Ian.
You can be such a jerk sometimes!
He's right, Ruby
She's been saying the same thing forever!
You just don't want to believe it!
She's gonna let us go eventually
She has to
Keep telling yourself that
[ SOMBER MUSIC ]
You okay?
One day, we'll get out of here
I know it
and when we do
she'll pay

Do you hear that?
Hey!
[ ROCKS ROLLING AND RUMBLING ]
What is that?
The rocks.
They're moving!
[ CAVE RUMBLES ]
There
What is that?
Where?
[ EARTH RUMBLES, ROCKS FALL ]
I think it's a way out
- So far, the fossil fuels extracted at the site
are going to be a big economic win for Millwood
this is for a brighter future
for my own children
Charlie and Annabelle
and for all of the kids in this great state
Yet, your plan is not without con-

You okay?
No

Are you bothering me, Theodore?
Maya?
You're... dead.
