Lockdown is sitting down as he looks out a window.

Lockdown: Engage dark-matter drives. Full power.

The Autobots and humans begin to sneak around the ship.

Hound: We're behind enemy lines now. Lockdown's ship has booby traps. Eyes open.

Crosshairs: Beware of his bone grinders, brain blinders, flesh peelers, chromosomal inverters, catatonic sludge, black hole trapdoors, and, of course, radiation.

Drift: We must be quick. We have the element of surprise. Let's try to use violence as a last resort.

A metal tentacle comes out Drift cuts it to pieces.

Drift: I kill you! Kill you!

Crosshairs: I hate those things.

Cade: That's freaky.

Drift: He's not alive anymore.

Crosshairs: Well, we looked. They're not here. Let's go.

Cade: What? Hey, I'm not going anywhere without Tessa.

Crosshairs: I'm unclear. What's in it for me?

Cade: What's in it for you?

Cole aims his cannon at Crosshairs.

Crosshairs: Easy. Let's use words.

Cole: What's in it for you is you get to keep your life. We're getting the dad and Optimus back. And the girl. Got it?

Crosshairs: Okay, okay. Very persuasive. Well, then. We'll need to sabotage something.

Drift: Better hurry. Because dark-matter drives are preparing to take off.

Crosshairs: Wonderful.

Drift: I give us 10 minutes.

Shane: Is that what that sound is? The engines filling up? Are you telling me that thing's gonna be... This is gonna be flying out of here in 10 minutes? Ten minutes?

Drift: Could be nine. Worst case, seven.

Hound: Humans, search the cell blocks.

Cade: We're wasting time, let's go.

Hound: We'll find the center core.

Crosshairs: Let's move. We're gonna stop this nightmare ship.

Cade, Shane, and Charlie all look around the cell blocks.

Cade: We're never gonna find her in this huge ship. Like a needle in a haystack.

Shane: Tessa!

Shane's voice echoes.

Cade: Great. Great. That was smooth. No, that was really smooth, letting everybody know we're here. Now they're gonna be looking for us.

The Autobots are crawling towards the center core.

Drift: Better hurry, Crosshairs, before we go into space!

Crosshairs: Here's the little jujube right here.

He unplugs a device.

Crosshairs: Hello, Mama.

The anchors are fired at a building.

Lockdown: Who fired the anchors? Who's on my ship? We have a loose prisoner.

Lockdown then sends the Steeljacks to find the intruders.

Cade: Hurry up. We got like six minutes.

Shane: We'll find her.

Cade: Hold up.
