Everyone hates you, Matthew.
I'll take her.

I want it to stop.
I know you've been following me.
I know you've been watchin' me.

But we couldn't get her out.
That's why there's been attacks above ground.
King is pissed.

- Hey, don't blame me.
Jalingbirri went down first.
I just pissed them off again.
You seem to do a lot, don't you? Oh, here we go! You're goin' down there again, aren't you? I'm still decidin' if there's a way we can trust Eleona.
I think you should hold off until we get the community safe.
- Here, then.
- [KEYS JANGLE.]
You should hang onto those until we get back.
