Hi, I'm Zoe.

Hello, pleased to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Mark.

Come on in.

So as you can see, it's pretty small.

Might not be the ideal place

for starting a family,

but let's take a look.

Not nearly enough closet space.

Only one bathroom.

Plus, the back yard backs

right up to the woods,

and who knows what kind of wild animals

are lurking back there.

But you never know.

Why don't you take one of

Larry's fliers just in case?

Well guys, it's been a pleasure.

Thank you so much for coming.

Bye.

Buh-bye.

Drive safe.

Good luck with everything.

Oh sh*t.

Okay.

Hi.

You're not wearing that.

It was this or an evening gown.

I met you in the springtime

Honeysuckle on a new vine

So, how'd you get Larry

to give you two weeks off?

I quit.

Shut up, no you didn't.

Look, okay, I'm not

gonna end up like my dad.

There's more to life than just work,

and I really need a change.

So, did Larry lose it when you told him?

I haven't exactly told him yet.

Don't you cry

Dry your eyes

Morning.

Yo-yo.

Drake.

Phil.

What's happening?

Not a bad day for a hike, eh?

What we got to day, five hikers?

Four.

Mr. Bernstein got the flu.

That's too bad.

Hey, why are you all suited up.

Sit down, we need to talk.

What is it, what's going on?

Look, Drake.

I like you, you're a great trail master.

I just can't keep you on, I'm sorry.

You're joking, right?

It's partly my fault, I should have done

a background check before

officially bringing you on.

I mean, it's usually formality.

I had no idea you were

a convicted felon.

Drake, I can't keep you on with this.

Phil, come on, how do you know

this is even me?

I'm not the only Drake Jacobs

running around.

It's a mix-up.

I'm sorry, Drake.

Phil, hey.

I get it, okay?

I do.

But that's not me.

Look, why don't you let me take

this tour out, and when I

get back, we'll sort out

this whole mess, alright?

I'm sorry, can't do it.

I need you to clear out your stuff.

I'm gonna take this one myself.

Phil, come on.

Look, don't make this harder

than it has to be.

I'm begging you, please, don't do this.

Drake.

Look, my mom,

she's in hospice, she's got cancer.

I'm all she's got.

I need this job.

I need your satellite phone

and the first aid kit

from your bag before you go.

You know what?

F*** you.

F*** you.

Leave the premises,

- or I'm calling the cops.

- Put the phone down.

Jesus.

Get off of me.

Alright, okay, okay, look, stop.

Get out.

Calm down!

- Get out.

- Jesus.

Get off of me.

Sh*t.

F*** me.

Well, I got you a little present.

It's nothing big, it's in my purse.

Oh my God, I can't believe

you got me a gift.

You'll love it.

Really?

Oh God, what do you have in this thing?

Pepper spray.

Well, you don't know

any of these people.

I mean, what if you're the only girl.

I probably will be the only girl.

I mean, how many women

do you know that wanna go

on a 10 day hike of

the Appalachian Trail?

None.

Hi, I'm Dan.

I'm here for the 10 day hike.

Hike's been cancelled.

Cancelled?

I'm sorry, you can call the office.

They can refund your money

or they can reschedule for a later time.

Wait a minute.

I just flew across the country

from San Francisco for this thing.

I'm not just flying home.

I'm sorry.

It's been cancelled.

Well...

Phil confirmed everything last week,

I'm sure he'll clear this up.

Woah.

You said 10-day hike.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're good, that's still on.

- So, we're good.

- We're good.

Hey.

I'm Brian, this is my brother, Sam.

We're here for the hike.

Call me Cheese.

Dan.

And I'm Drake.

I'm your trail master.

I'll be leading the tour and

keeping you guys out of harms way.

Hold up, guys, hold up.

Hold it right there.

Man, I hope you guys all bought

your boots and rain gear.

You're not borrowing mine.

Alright.

We're gonna be shooting

for 10 miles a day.

We'll see how you guys do with that.

I don't want anybody

falling behind, okay?

You do, you'll throw off our pace.

And remember, the trail's

a dangerous place,

so I need you to keep your eyes peeled.

We're gonna be days

away from civilization,

so I need you to follow my lead,

keep up, and don't do anything stupid.

What?

The brochure mentioned

we'd have first aid kits.

You can hang with that,

we'll all have a pretty

good time, alright?

Hey.

She with us?

It's a chick.

Hi.

I'm Zoe, is this the trail tour?

- Yeah.

- Yeah

Okay.

You're late.

Yeah, sorry, we got lost.

Here.

Barbie.

Your pack.

Oh, thanks.

Let's get moving.

We got a long hike to go to get

to the campsite before sunset.

Jesus, you bring enough stuff?

Maybe you should have brought a TV.

I brought a laptop.

I'm sure you did.

Hold on.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Dude, that stuff's expensive.

You'll thank me in 20 minutes

when we're up on the mountain.

What will I sit on?

You really wanna be carrying

this sh*t around for the next 90 miles?

That's why I bought it.

Let's go, come on.

I gotta admit, that is better.

You okay?

Yeah.

This is what happens

when you spend the last 20 years

sitting on your ass in

front of a computer.

Well, at least you're

taking a break from it.

All work and no play, right?

Yeah.

I thought it's what my wife wanted.

Lots of money, nice house, two BMWs.

Then she left me for

the yoga instructor.

Ooo.

Namaste.

I was doing it all for her,

and she didn't give a sh*t.

Come on guys, keep moving.

Good times.

I really thought you were

gonna change your mind.

Why?

I dunno, last time we met,

you just seemed upset.

It was Dad's funeral.

So, how was graduation?

Well, I passed.

I made it.

That's good.

Man, I couldn't wait to

get out of high school.

College is so much better.

Trust me.

I don't really think I'm gonna

do the whole college thing.

I don't really have the grades,

and Mom really doesn't have the money,

so I figured I'd go

get a job or something.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

My degree hasn't done sh*t for me.

What the hell is that?

Oh man.

What is that?

I dunno, it doesn't look good.

Cheese, hold, what are you doing?

Cheese.

Hey.

Sam.

Wait.

This is a bad idea.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Oh my God.

Jesus, what the hell happened?

Looks like a bear attack.

Don't worry, the rangers

are on their way.

Drake.

Drake.

Come on, we gotta keep moving.

Keep moving?

What about her,

shouldn't we do something?

Look, it's a horrible thing,

but help's on the way.

We keep moving.

I'm with Drake.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Hey.

Hey.

What?

Isn't that the main trail?

You paid for a guide, right?

Guys, you don't need me

for the main trail.

You can just follow the mob of tourists.

We're going off-trail.

Come on.

What about the bear?

Bear won't mess with the five of us,

there's safety in numbers.

Hey, be careful, watch your step.

Wet shoes will ruin your day.

Just go slow, it'll be fine.

Sorry.

Sh*t, damn, fire.

Gonna be a long 10 days.

Up this way, guys.

Keep up.

Hey guys, you go ahead.
