Later, as the plot twist and turns, we find out that ELizabeth has locked both she and her friends into the bunker in order to make one of her friends, Mike, fall in love with her. Frankie dies first, followed by Geoff, then Mike. Elizabeth leaves the bunker... and towards the end she confessess the truth to her counsler, but her statement wasn't officially recorded. She frames Martyn, and later kills him to cover up the truth.
