We also start from inside to outside.

First thing we do is simplify the parenthesis:
$- 50 - 4 (\frac{- 10 - 4 {(- 2)}^{2}}{- 2})$ $-50-4((-10-4(-2)^2)/(-2))$

Exponent:
$- 50 - 4 (\frac{- 10 - 4 (4)}{- 2})$ $-50-4((-10-4(4))/(-2))$

Multiplication:
$- 50 - 4 (\frac{- 10 - 16}{- 2})$ $-50-4((-10-16)/(-2))$

Subtract on numerator:
$- 50 - 4 (\frac{- 26}{- 2})$ $-50-4((-26)/(-2))$

Division:
$- 50 - 4 (13)$ $-50-4(13)$

Multiplication:
$- 50 - 52$ $-50-52$

And lastly, subtraction:
$- 102$ $-102$

Hope this helps!
