M.I.A. A Greater Evil Page #4

---

Maybe there are others lost

out here, also looking for help.

We'll follow the trail. It's

heading in the right direction,

back to Vietnam.

What's that?

You hear it too?

So can I. Sounds like

wind chimes.

Just keep moving, they

clearly want us gone.

Wait.

Anita!

Hey guys! Come here!

What are you guys doing?

Don't go in there.

You're just gonna

waste more time.

Someone might live here,

could help get us out.

Let's just keep moving.

Are you OK?

I'm freaking out

without my meds.

We're gonna make it

OK? Trust me.

Let's just check out

this place first.

What is it?

Nothing.

Let's go.

What the f***?

Hello? Is anyone here?

Rachel!

Are you OK?

What's wrong?

I think I sprained my ankle.

Are you OK?

This is beyond scary. Let's go.

Oh my god.

Guys.

This is my grandfather.

He came to me last night and he

showed me this photo.

What are you talking about?

Let's f***ing leave.

Look, this is my

grandmother Martha.

We have the same photo at home.

It looks like her, but you said

he visited you last night?

Yes he did.

Look.

Dog tags.

What are the odds?

We have to bury him.

No way, let's get out of here.

What the hell?

It must have been a prison cave,

for American POWs.

Poor souls.

Now we're in the same situation.

No one knows where we are, no

one's gonna come and find us.

And if we die out here no one's

gonna know what happened to us.

That ain't happening to me,

I'm leaving.

Jez, please stay.

I gotta get the hell

out of here.

I wish you wouldn't.

I'll stay on the trail.

I might find help.

I've got to bury him.

I'll be fine. I,

I just gotta go.

OK. Be careful.

We'll be right behind you.

Be careful.

Watch out for the drug gang.

It's hardly Arlington.

At least it's a burial.

Most didn't even get that.

Any last words?

Can I have a minute?

Sure.

I don't want to slow us down.

Don't worry.

I'll carry you the whole

way if I have to.

I love you.

That's the first time

you've said it.

I love you too. Always have.

By the way, when we get back, you

should move more of your stuff

into my apartment.

How much?

All of it.

You said you're goodbyes?

Yeah.

OK.

From now on, we stick together,

that way we're stronger.

No one's getting left

behind out here.

Jez can't be too far ahead.

. OK, let's get moving.

Jez! Jez!...Jez!

Jez!

Jez!

Jez!

Jez!

I have a very bad feeling.

I think he's out there.

Oh my God! It's him!

Who?

Do you see him?

There's no one there.

Cut it out Anita.

He was right there.

I think you're hallucinating.

I saw him.

Come on.

I know what I saw Steve.

I don't think I can walk

on it tomorrow.

I'll carry you.

I'm serious.

So am I.

I don't want to slow us down.

Guys I'm worried about Jez.

He must have gotten out.

How long before we hit

the logging road?

Maybe tomorrow.

Who did you see earlier

today on the trail?

You won't believe me.

Try us.

When my grandfather visited

me last night...

...he warned me of something

called the Greater Evil.

I think it's coming for us.

So your grandfather's

ghost came and...

Let's turn in.

We've got a long day tomorrow.

Who the f*** are you?

Are you the rescue team?

No... No.

Are you tracking me?

No.

Are you trying to kill me?

No.

Please.

Speak!

Are you him?

Who?

The Greater Evil.

I can help you.

What's your name?

Brandon.

Special Ops.

How did you get here?

I was captured. Held in the

jungle as a POW for years.

Then one day, the Vietnamese

were gone, and we escaped.

I've been here ever

since, waiting.

To be rescued?

When was this?

April 1970.

We were on a secret mission.

Into Laos?

How do you know that?

That's classified.

Not anymore.

You were never rescued because

the US government didn't want

the world to know where you

had been captured.

It was the CIA's Secret War'.

How do you know all this?

My grandfather died out here.

Grandfather?

What are you from

the f***in' future?

You expect me to believe that?

Look, you gotta help me.

Something ain't right.

I've tried to leave, I keep

ending up back in the same place.

I think I'm losing my mind.

Shhh... He's close.

Who?

The Greater Evil.

You're really not him?

Sh*t kid.

If he comes for you,

you'll know it.

You said you could help me?

Please.

What I'm gonna tell you sounds

crazy, and it's bad news.

OK.

- Give it to me straight.

- Ok.

You're dead. You died

a long time ago.

Is that supposed to be

some kind of joke?

Because it ain't funny.

- It's not meant to be.

- Then it's some stupid f***ing

bullshit!

Let me prove it.

I can prove it.

Please...

You know this city

as Saigon, right?

Ho Chi Minh city.

What the f*** is this?

Saigon fell in 1975 and

changed its name.

The world has moved on and

you've been lost to history.

You mean to tell me.

I've been out in this jungle.

For 50 f***in' years

Fighting a war that ended

decades ago?

I'm so sorry.

It's not your fault kid.

You've done me a real solid.

I just gotta get to

where I need to be.

Take care.

Great.

What do we do now?

How can a trail come

to a dead end?

It can't just stop here.

I'll look around.

I'll come with you.

No, stay with Rachel.

I won't go far.

Be careful.

Steve, do you think

we'll ever get out?

I have to.

Now's not the time to lose hope.

But if this is the

end of the trail.

What happened to Jez?

He may have got lucky.

Found another way.

Hey! I found a viewpoint.

Really?

Yeah.

We can get our bearings.

Maybe even see a village.

What are you doing?

I'm not leaving you.

You can't get me through that.

Leave me, I'll be fine.

She's right.

It's not far.

We'll be quick.

Don't go anywhere.

I love you.

I love you too.

Be right back.

Hello?

Who's there?

Jez, Jez is that you?

Guys! Hey guys!

Guys I think I've found Jez.

Wow. It's beautiful.

But there's no roads,

there's no villages.

This isn't right.

We're heading west, but we should

be moving east, towards Vietnam.

You mean we're lost?

I don't understand it.

I t doesn't make sense.

So where's the logging road?

I have no idea.

Steve.

Don't say that. You're the one

who's supposed to be

getting us out of here.

Jez! Jez!

Jez, is that you?

Steve, Steve.

Steve.

Steve!

Anita!!

Help me, help! Help! Help!

Help!

STEVE!

Rachel!

Sh*t!

Rachel!

Where is she?

She must be here somewhere.

Rachel!

- Rachel!

- Rachel!

Rachel!

- Rachel!

- Rachel!

Rachel!

Rachel!

I left her right there on the

path! Right there! Rachel!

- Rachel!

- Rachel!

What was that explosion?

Sh*t!

Maybe the drug gang took her?

Oh God. Oh God!

Rachel!...

It's been hours.

She's not here.

Let's get back on the trail.

I promised I wouldn't

leave her out here.

We have to face

reality she's...

Let's find some more help

and come back for her.

It's the only way.

I can't leave her, I won't!

I care about her too, but we're

no use to her dead.

We have to keep moving, come on.

Come on Steve.

Let's keep moving.

I couldn't even protect her.

Don't say that, you did
