We should be there

in about ninety minutes.

You guys cool with that?

What?

Ninety minutes?

-If you know where we're going.

-Sure.

Josh wants to look at the map now.

Though I know

where we're going.

If you'd known where

we were, we wouldn't be . . .

We're in the middle

of the f***ing woods.

-How could you possibly know?

-Because some is offtrail.

What, somebody told you

there's a cemetery back there?

If we're lost, admit that, because. . .

. . . I know we're not lost.

You knew that yesterday, too,

and twice again today.

Bullshit! We have

not been lost today.

Not once.

Okay, this is where we were.

You said that it was

two miles away.

Then it's two hours away,

three hours away. . .

-Okay, just chill!

-Maybe it's four hours away.

-You agreed to do this project.

-I agreed to a scouted-out project.

-Not to wander round the woods.

-I told you that . . .

. . .getting to the locations

wasn't gonna be easy.

Mike, Mike. . .Okay, guys!

Please, you're being a smart-ass.

We're looking at the map. . .

. . .we'll find this the best we can.

This is where we were. We're

going more or less this way.

Okay, what do you say? Where

do you think we're going?

To tell you the truth. . .

. . .this is Greek

to me. It's useless.

Exactly.

So I'm putting my trust in you. . .

. . .that you know where it is.

Good.

Though I gotta tell you,

I don't fully trust you. . .

. . .and l. . .

What?

I don't know why you tape

every conversation, man.

Well, we're making a documentary.

Not about us getting lost,

it's about a witch !

I have a camera.

We'll all look back on this

and laugh, believe me.

Baby steps, man, baby steps.

Just breathe and don't look down.

No, you gotta look down.

Are you gonna have to crawl?

I'm gonna crawl.

Cool.

Think how cool the f***ing

cemetery is gonna be.

Think of the joy of being

in a really good film.

Okay, shut the f*** up.

Okay, I'm quiet.

Sh*t. How am I gonna do this?

Okay. . . Mikey?

Yeah.

Dude, don't come across

with the DAT on your belly.

No way, man.

There's no chance.

How do we get it

across?

It's really f***ing hard.

How we gonna get

it across?

The moss this morning was easy.

This stuff's slippery as sh*t.

Well, how do we get

the DAT across?

I don't know. Let

me put my pack down. . .

I'll just go back and forth, man.

Can you do it that way?

It's the only thing I can do.

Okay, we'll do it like that.

Oh, Christ!

Oh, what'd you drop?

Nothing.

The tree just broke.

Oh, f***.

We're very, very close now.

You guys excited?

Okay.

What's this?

What's this? Dude, guys.

Remember what Mary

Brown said the other day?

What story from the

Bible was she telling us?

F***, I wasn't listening, I

thought she was crazy.

It was Esau, something about a

pile of rocks.

She was talking

about her rocks, man.

Well, what about

the rocks?

Anybody remember?

To live your life.

Looks like an lndian

burial ground, man.

I don't know if this counts,

three. . .

. . .four. . .

. . .five. . .

. . .six. . .

. . .seven.

Years ago witches

were roasted. . .

. . .just like my Vienna sausage.

Flames are licking you

like the Devil, Josh.

Sit back and hear a tale,

a tale of a fateful trip...

...that started on

this desert isle...

...aboard this tiny ship...

Yeah, but this ship

has a good captain. . .

. . . not a beer-guzzling

guy in a blue shirt.

He wasn't beer-guzzling.

They had no beer on

the island, man.

If they had beer, they'd

have had big-ass orgies.

You're like the Captain,

and Mike's your Gilligan.

-No offense.

-That's all right.

It was a compliment. . .

. . .Gilligan was a funny guy. . .

. . .the Captain was fat, though.

Well okay, let's call

it a thin Captain.

It's not Captain. . .

It's the Skipper.

No more Captain.

Here we are back at

the rock again. . .

. . .the cemetery deal.

I just wanna be careful

not to get in the shot.

It certainly is odd.

Please tell me you didn't

just knock that over.

I didn't just knock that over.

That's not very nice.

Let me put it back.

You can't be too careful.

What'd you think?

It was the same, only darker.

Yeah, pretty much.

All right. Bag it up.

Hello?

Sh*t, no light.

We were sleeping.

Do you want this?

Put it by the tent door.

Listen.

Hello?

Hello!

It's all around us.

F***ing weird.

Michael, aren't you

coming down?

I ain't going down there.

Why not?

-Because I don't hear sh*t.

-You're f***ing scared.

Because I don't

hear anything!

You cannot deny hearing it.

Get your ass out! Come on !

This rain f***ing blows, man.

I know. It's raining heavily.

Thanks mom for giving me

rain gear for my birthday.

God bless her.

What do you think it

was last night?

Personally?

Yeah.

Someone f***ing

with your head.

But nobody knows

we're here.

Yeah, but. . .you ever see

"Deliverance"?

Well, whatever it was,

I just wanted to. . .

You were freaking out.

You bugged me out.

I was. I woke up suddenly

and sh*t's going down. . .

. . .and all I can think is

"l want it all. . .

I want it on sound,

I want it on sixteen.

If we see anything,

I want it on sixteen."

Sounded to me like a lot

of people running around. . .

. . . maybe they were locals

or whatever.

I don't know what

the hell they wanted.

We're deep in the woods, and

if people want to mess with us. . .

. . .then there's something

wrong with them. . .

. . .and I'm not gonna

get into that.

And if it wasn't people?

Well, I'm not gonna

get into that, either!

F***, man. .

. .it's been a very long day. . .

. . .a very wet, very long day.

Nobody's speaking to me

right now .

Dude, I don't remember

any of this.

What?

I don't remember any

of this coming from the car.

We have to go a different

route to get back. . .

. . . because we went

around in a curve.

Two more hours max, guys.

If we came by a short cut, why

are we going back a different way?

Because we have to go round. . .

It was the most direct way to

hit our two locations.

And this is the quickest

way back to the car.

Seriously?

Yes. Seriously.

-You know exactly what's going on?

-Yes. Let's just keep going.

All right.

Five minutes and we

do a map check.

All right.

We just did a map check,

and we're still on track.

That's not what I said.

We're all right. Come on,

just keep going.

Well the compass says. . .

. . .we go straight ahead,

that way.

We're in the middle of nowhere.

We've been in the middle

of nowhere for two days.

Just like the car.

Look at this sh*t, man !

This is nothing.

Let's just keep

going, all right?

I think we should camp.

Get the f*** out of here!

Why? 'Cause you don't know

where we are?

No, because we're still

A little way from the car. . .

. . .and it's gonna be dark soon.

-Look, I'm not sure. . .

-We don't camp. Stop the camera. . .

. . .and get us home.

Turn the camera off and give

me the f***ing map.

Turn it off and get us home.

No, I'm filming. I want

to mark this occasion.
