crashing out behind you 170 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000 and it's like this wave that rolls up the wall 171 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,000 and continues to follow you. 172 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Ahead of you, you see the hallway 173 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,000 that leads back out the front entrance. 174 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,000 You see two spiral staircases, 175

where there are figures 178 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000 dismembered and put up on display 179 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 with these weapons 180 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000 that are glowing, 181

00:09:27,000 That is a 19. 191 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000 You see as you're running 192 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000 everything's moving by quickly. 193 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000 The first two you catch out of the corner of your eye 194 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000 you don't get a lot of information on 195 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000 how things are going so fast. 196 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000 The next four you're able to garner more information from 197 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000 and you see what looks like 198 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 ruined monument 199 00:09:51,000
