Inside the horizon, , so is timelike. The chosen black-hole time orientation declares future directed; therefore every future-directed timelike vector has . Thus decreases strictly along every future-directed timelike curve.
Write . Along such a curve,
It cannot remain at any indefinitely, because is a time function and the displayed bound gives finite remaining proper time. From a starting radius ,
Putting evaluates the last integral as . Hence every such curve reaches the curvature singularity with
