Let's simplify the expression step by step:

\[
(-8c - 2) + (-c - 5)
\]

1. Distribute the addition across the terms:

\[
-8c - 2 - c - 5
\]

2. Combine like terms:

- For the \(c\) terms: \(-8c - c = -9c\)
- For the constant terms: \(-2 - 5 = -7\)

So, the expression simplifies to:

\[
-9c - 7
\]

The final simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{-9c - 7}
\]
