with a f***ing housewife.

(GASPS)

Those men will come

after us, won't they?

They'll have to. We saw too much.

I shouldn't have

walked into that camp.

No.

- I didn't know.

- I know.

Can't we stop for a little longer?

No.

Each hour we walk, we are

widening the search area.

The wider it is, the harder it will

be for those men to find us. Ow.

Let's go.

(ZIPPER ZIPS)

Come on.

(SIGHS)

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

(PANTING)

(INSECTS BUZZING)

Don't, Jo!

What now?

We can't drink it.

It will make us sick.

- Why did we walk all this way then?

- Because we didn't know.

- (WATER BOTTLE CLANGS)

- That's so stupid!

Mm.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

(SOBS)

Shh.

(SNIFFLES)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYS)

Run, Jo, run!

(COUGHING)

Tally!

Tally!

(WIND HOWLING)

(COUGHS)

- No!

- Jo!

Jo, where are you?

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

Jo!

Are you all right?

After the storm passed,

I couldn't see you.

It was like the earth

swallowed you up.

One minute I grabbed the journal,

the next I was in this bush.

DIBS:
I'm coming in to

circle the area now.

MALLICK:
Yeah, thank you,

Alpha one. Thank you.

Do you think it's them...

looking for us?

Let's not take a chance.

DIBS:
I thought I saw

something move down there.

Check it out. Circle

again just to make sure.

Roger that.

All clear. No sign

of life. I'm off.

Okay. Just look at the

water hole again.

Okay.

They couldn't have gone

far... not in this heat.

(ENGINES TURN OVER)

JO:
It looks like there's only one more

water hole before that little town.

Come on. Let's go.

Ah!

My leg! Something bit me!

Oh!

(GASPING)

Just hold on. I'll get the

stuff from the first-aid kit.

(GASPING)

(GASPING)

Relax, Jo.

(GASPS)

This is adrenalin I'm giving you.

You need this, too.

Anti... antihistamine.

You must.

Try to breathe slower.

(GASPS)

Slower...

Slow breaths.

I'm gonna make a run

to the water hole.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Promise me...

Slow breaths.

(AIRPLANE FLIES OVERHEAD)

(PANTING)

(AIRPLANE FLIES OVERHEAD)

(AIRPLANE FLIES OVERHEAD)

(PANTING)

Okay, boss.

Left.

(HYENA GROWLING)

(HYENA SNARLS)

(HYENA GROWLS)

(HYENA SNIFFING)

(HYENA GROANS)

(HYENA GROWLING)

(GUNSHOT)

(DISTORTED) Get up.

Get up!

(NORMAL VOICE)

I have a daughter, too.

Now go. Now! Go!

(GUNSHOTS)

(GUNSHOTS)

I didn't sign on to

kill women and kids.

Huh? (CHUCKLES)

You know what I have to do next.

You don't have to do anything

you don't want to do, man.

(CHUCKLES)

(GUN C*CKS)

Bodley...

(GUNSHOT)

(GRUNTS)

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

PAUL:
The incredible

thing about the hyena

is how it'll fight to its death for

something much bigger than itself.

They'll defend themselves and

their young right to the end.

(HYENA CHATTERS)

(HYENA GROWLS)

(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)

(HYENA CHATTERS)

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

(METAL CREAKING)

(SIGHS)

Jo! Jo!

He was here again...

just like the other morning

when you were asleep.

Dad.

It was dad.

I know. I've seen him, too.

Come on. Let's go.

You're okay.

You're fine.

The doctor examined her.

MIRIAM:

She's okay, right? Is she awake?

She is sleeping more normally now.

(SIGHS)

I've been going out of my mind

trying to figure out what

could have happened.

I'm so sorry, Tally. I'll

be on the next flight.

(RECEIVER CLICKS)

(CRIES)

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

Miss Rubin, we should really

take a look at that leg now.

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACH)

You slept for over 24 hours. It's

hardly surprising after everything.

- Where's Jo?

- Her mother came and took her.

- How is she?

- She's feeling better.

She didn't say goodbye.

I read about you two in the

newspaper, about what you did...

And about her dad, too.

I'm really sorry.

(BREAKS SQUEAL)

(CAR DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

JO:
I will never do drugs again.

I've had more than enough of that.

- MIRIAM:
And that's what kept you alive?

- No, Tally did that.

Here. It's a cheeseburger

and milkshake... chocolate.

Sorry I drank some of it.

(CHUCKLES)

I didn't realize one wasn't

going to be enough for me.

Hey.

Honey, I'm really sorry, but

if we miss this plane...

There won't be another

for days. I know.

That's right.

What are you gonna do?

I promised to go back.

I need to say goodbye.

Mom, I want to go with her.

I want to say goodbye, too.

Honey...

It's a miracle you survived.

It's no miracle.
