what you could.

It's all my fault.

If we hadn't taken the detour...

...the rapids

...the Guide, Jez, Rachel.

It's hopeless.

It's hopeless.

Hey, we have to keep moving

for Rachel, and Jez.

Let's get some rest.

Hello?

Rachel?

Hello?

Rachel!

Jez!

It's impossible!

Steve?

Steve!

Sh*t!

Help!

Help!

Stay back!

Stay back!

Hello Anita.

You don't have to fear me.

Are you going to kill me?

Did you kill my friends?

I don't need to kill you...

...because you're already dead.

But don't worry.

What the f*** is going on?

What do you mean

we're all dead'?

You drowned at precisely

12:
01 p.m. on the river.

But you're dead too.

I saw you get shot.

That had to happen, so you'd

believe in me now.

What about my friends?

They didn't know they'd died.

So I helped then move on.

How do you help them exactly?

I roam the jungle...

...tracking the already dead...

...and those that have not come

to terms with the situation.

I hunt them and kill them, using

their worst fears.

It must have been tough fighting

out here, trying to blow each

other's heads off.

I'd hate to have been caught in one

of the Viet Cong's booby traps.

Those f***ing bastards were

dangerous with bamboo.

My grandfather was disabled

by a mine. It blew his leg off.

Leaving them with in doubt that

this time, they're dead.

Sounds like a sadistic way to

deliver bad news.

It has its drawbacks, but

it's effective.

How long have you

been doing this?

Lifetimes.

But now you are here.

You're different.

You have a gift.

What gift?

The gift of compassion.

Soul seek you out, they come to you

for help, and you can give it.

So let me get this straight.

I'm dead.

And you want me to stay out

here, herding souls like you do?

Think about it Anita.

It is no coincidence that you died in

the same jungle your grandfather did.

I always believed my grandfather

was betrayed by his country.

My whole family did.

We never gave up on him.

It's that empathy, that

connection which is so powerful.

You can lead them to their

final resting place.

Who's out here?

Soldiers from all sides of the

wars that ravaged this jungle.

Why are there so many Americans?

POWs from the Vietnam War.

Ignored, forgotten, left to die and

rot out here by their own country.

They deserve better.

And with you they'll get it.

You can finally free them

from the despair...

...the betrayal, and this

never-ending jungle.

Anita.

Do you accept?

Because of you, I don't have to spend

the rest of my days being hunted and

tracked through the jungle.

You made me realize, no

one's coming for me,

For us.

It's time I joined Martha.

I accept.

Then my time is at an end.

And when you guide the last

one out, you too will go.

But what about the Greater Evil.

The thing that's coming for us?

There is no Greater Evil.

It's just a fear of death of

those caught in limbo.

They thought I was the Greater

Evil because I hunted, tracked

and killed them.

But I was their greatest relief

too, if only they knew it.

And the drug gang?

A figment of your imagination.

It is time.

Goodbye my child.

Be strong.

(whispering) Help me.

Are you the rescue mission?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Please help me.

I want to go home.
