00:00Ma, in the beginning, did you ever consider inviting more people?
00:05Who could we trust?
00:07We had to think about you.
00:12The second's ticking past so fast.
00:21Someone's here.
00:24Can you see how she got in?
00:26Ma!
00:27And there's half a mile of rock above us.
00:34We live here.
00:35We must be a family.
00:37What about your family?
00:39They're gone.
00:40So you're alone.
00:47When I was little, people came.
00:48Sometimes they seemed nice.
00:50But it always ended in the same way.
00:53They'd try and kill us every time.
00:57Never!
01:02I just don't understand why she's here.
01:07It's like she has an agenda.
01:09An agenda? I don't see what...
01:11You don't see.
01:24I think I like her.
01:26I've never met anybody before.
01:39What if we just left this place?
01:41There's nothing out there.
01:48You must be very brave, what you went through.
01:57We did everything to save you, if you only knew.
02:08What the hell did you tell her?
02:13None of it's true.
