When the research samples are mysteriously destroyed, things take a deadly turn and they're left stranded, scared, and fighting for their lives, facing both physical and potentially supernatural forces.

wont get it.

Or wont be able to afford it.

And thats a reality.

You know what, you seem to have

really great insights about society

yet you, you choose to hide in

the middle of the jungle, right?

From everything and everyone.

Well, let me tell you something.

Im not gonna be disappointed.

Because at least I know

Im doing something

about it instead of hiding from it.

[Nikki] Mina.

Wait, stop, dont go too far.

Mina.

[Mina] Im sick of people like that!

[Rafael speaking in Portuguese]

Babe, are you sure you can

translate that?

[Ben] There was a group just like us.

- [Nikki] Of course.

- [Mina] In a place just like this.

[Ben] In a place just like this

and theyre camping and then...

- They went all to bed...

- [Mina] And there was a blonde.

[Nikki] Did he really say that?

[All laughing]

[Jay] Please. No.

[Ben] Everybody went to sleep

at night, right?

And they all got up in the morning,

were having their coffee

and they noticed that one of

their, their group was missing.

[Nikki] Okay.

[Ben] So, they go into his tent

and they say,

hey, um, whats, whats going on?

he didnt, he didnt say anything.

- All he could do was just, you know...

- [Mina] Show.

[Ben] ...Show that there was a,

theres something in his sleeping bag.

Well, so they waited

until the sun came up,

I guess the other members

of the group understood.

- [Mina] Yeah.

- [Ben] It got so hot.

Cobra slithers out of the sleeping bag.

[Mina] And he had to be still

for the cobra to come out.

[Nikki] Oh my God.

[Esteves] You think about this?

[Nikki] I think I would actually have

a heart attack if that happened.

Oh my God.

Its really a nice story

to tell us when were

about to go sleep in some sleeping bags

in the middle of the Amazon.

- [Robby] I did mushrooms once.

- [Nikki] Oh my God.

[Robby] No, I was convinced I

was a frog.

I was, uh, I was at burning man.

[Ben] We need to finish this

food cause we, we just...

We dont need to take it back

since were heading back tomorrow.

[Nikki]

Whoo! Ill have some more.

[Ben] You want some?

[Robby] Im good, man.

Im stuffed.

[Nikki] Only because Im taking

one for the team.

[All laughing]

I really am.

Im thinking about all of you.

[John] You know, there are some things

in this world that were meant to be

and I think finding a cure was

one of those, you know.

Making history.

- [Robby] Making history.

- [Nikki] To making history.

Cheers, guys.

Cheers, Robby.

[Robby]

Cheers.

Another part of history was,

um, was Nikkis graceful fall.

[Nikki] Okay.

Stop it!

[Mina] What happened to Jay?

[Nikki] Jay went to his tent, I think.

[Robby] Hes drunk listening to

music in there.

[Nikki]

Is that what that noise is?

[All laughing] [Nikki] What kind

of music is he listening to?

[Mina] The worst Brazilian kind.

[Nikki] He drinks half a bottle

of cachaa...

And hes all of a sudden Brazilian.

[John] Do not, do not attack

the cachaa.

[Nikki] Oh!

[John] This fine bottle.

[Nikki] You know youve had too much

when you can no longer pronounce it.

[Robby] Hello, beautiful.

[Nikki] What is that noise?

[Robby] Its raining.

Its the rainforest.

Give it five minutes, itll be done.

[Nikki] Its so loud.

- [Robby] Ooh.

- [Nikki] Oh, Jesus Christ!

- [Robby] Wake up!

- [Nikki] Stop with the camera!

[Robby]

I cant. Its in my blood.

Did your mom drop you as a kid?

Seriously.

My stomach hurts.

Get the camera out of my face.

[Robby] Looks like were not

the only ones who overslept.

[Ben] Yeah, man, I wasnt gonna

get up in all that rain.

[Robby]

Hey, Nikki, howre you feeling?

Like sh*t.

[Andre] We need to leave soon.

We should pack up our tents now.

[John]

[Ben] Well, I mean, just think.

[Robby]

Nikki says he was with Jay.

With Jay where?

[Robby]

No, I mean, with him.

Oh. That actually makes a lot

of sense.

[Nikki]

[Robby] Is that what youre

[Mina]

[Jay] He went back to his tent

in the middle of the night.

No, I didnt.

[Ben]

[Ben] I cant find my laptop anywhere.

[Robby]
