Reveling in provoking the adults, the gang steals the couple's belongings and vandalizes their car leaving them completely stranded.

I saw power pylons on the way in.

They must lead somewhere.

Look.

Come on!

Aaaaaiee! God!

Remember me from the lake?

I just... I need some help.

I want to talk to your mum.

Can you take me to her?

She's working.

But I'm...

I really need to get into town.

Can you please just show me the way?

- Shouldn't we follow the power lines?

- No, this way's quicker.

My mum picks me up down here.

What? Here?

In her car with your bike?

What?

- Have you got a signal here?

- No, just games.

She should be here soon.

- I thought she was working.

- She's finished her shift.

- No signal?

- One bar.

- Adam, I need your phone.

- We shouldn't be here!

- Please!

- Its battery's low!

My mum might need to call me back!

Adam, your mum is coming to get you,

isn't she? Hmm?

Adam, what's going on?

Where have you brought me?

Please, Adam!

Please... just give me the bloody phone!

How now brown cow!

She's awake!

Brett, she's f***ing awake!

Mark, you f***ing p*ssy!

You didn't hit her hard enough!

Oh, f***!

We found him.

- Brett, we can't do this! She's alive!

- And he's dead.

We did him.

Paige has got you all having a dig.

It's on her phone. No ballsing out now,

lads. No backing down.

Oh, Jesus...

- Paige, get filming. Come here.

- Oh, f*** it!

Look at me, man. Wanna be in our gang?

Prove yourself, then.

No, please...!

Adam, no, please... don't do it!

Please, don't do it! Please...!

Go on. Go on.

- What?

- Listen, you've seen too much.

You either do it now, yeah, or you're next.

Go on, then.

Go on!

No! No-o-o!

F***ing look at that! That was you.

That was f***ing you, not me.

She's got the f***ing map!

She knows which way to go.

No, we know which way she's f***ing

going. There's one track into town.

- She won't go far on her foot.

- Look.

What? What does it say?

"Jenny Greengrass and Steve Taylor

attacked. Mark, Brett, Ricky, Cooper."

Sh*t, we're famous, mate!

F*** it, then.

When I find that f***ing b*tch,

I'm going to f***ing bury her, mate.

F***ing hell!

Little prick, come on.

Miss...

Uurgh!
