---

- Yeah but I

recognize that we barely have

a quarter tank of gas so

if we just miss the turn

then we'll be stranded in

the middle of the road.

- Yeah, maybe someone would come

that way.

- How many cars

have you seen lately?

- Holy sh*t.

That's a hell of a stockpile.

- Oh, god bless her.

- Here it is, okay.

- Oh, thank you.

Anything to eat?

Some food?

Oh oh oh oh, god bless her.

The first thing will be when we

get back

to give her a big hug.

- Okay.

Bottles of water and

this flashlight, it's...

- so can we use it?

- Yeah, I guess.

Not so strong but it will be

fine.

- It will be fine.

- Yeah.

- Would you mind?

- Just do it.

Light in the darkness.

- I'm pretty sure

you must have regretted

coming with me by now.

- We regret a lot of things

as we head on forward.

- What do you mean?

- My mother wasn't sick.

When I turned 19 I got some

money together

and I bought my first car.

An old wreck, you know,

but I worked for it

and paid for it myself,

without anyone's help.

My then-girlfriend's name was

Jenny.

She had beautiful red

hair, sparkling eyes.

The most beautiful smile in the

world.

- Adam?

- You know I wanted to

take her and my mother

for a drive to show them the

car.

- I'm so sorry.

- It was raining that day

and there was that impossible

curve leading into the town we

lived in.

Because it flipped around

it took the ambulance

two hours to carve my

mother out of the car.

Jenny's head hit the window.

She died instantly.

Yeah.

Mum died in the helicopter.

And I was discharged from the

hospital

three days later.

Three days.

- I'm so sorry.

- One day I had nothing.

Yeah.

I mean at first I had

everything and then nothing.

- That's not true.

- I haven't even looked at the

photo album

since it happened.

I can't bring myself to.

And you know what?

I feel ashamed of that.

You should talk to your mother.

- You can't know

what my situation is like.

- I truly can't, that's

true, you're right.

But I would give anything,

anything,

to tell them how much I love

them.

- I just couldn't

tell that to my mother.

- Yeah, but she's trying.

Even if it is a box of shitty

chocolate

or a bunch of flower, she's

trying to fix

what she messed up.

She's trying to fix it.

I don't get a second chance

but you do, so take it.

Because I would personally

offended

if you didn't take it.

We always fighting ourselves and

others.

We try desperately to

achieve things we might not

even want to achieve.

We keep ignoring so many things,

or allow them to pass us by.

And we don't realize

what's really important.

Or worse.

We don't even want to.

- Where are you going?

- I think I could use some fresh

air.

- Adam, Adam, just wake

up, Adam.

- What, what, what?

- There's something,

I heard something,

it was like, it was like people

shouting.

- From where, which way?

- In the forest.

From behind the car.

- Wow.

- Probably just some kids

but they might know the way out

of here.

- I don't think that's a good

idea, just stay in the car.

- Come on, come on.

- Just stay in the f***ing car.

- They can help us, come on.

- Sh*t.

What exactly did you hear?

- I'm telling you it was

like people shouting.

- Are you sure

that's what you heard?

- Come on.

- Shh, did you hear that?

- What, what did you hear?

What did you hear?

- Shh, shut the f*** up!

- What, what did you hear?

- Turn off the flashlight.

What the f***?

Sh*t, sh*t.

F***.

That's it?

That's it, motherf***er!

- Now stop that!

Where are you going?

- What stop, what stop?

- Just stop that okay,

calm down.

Where are you going?

- Just back to the car.

I'm not staying here another

minute.

I'm not staying here

another f***ing minute.

Sh*t.

Hey.

What?

What?

Where's the car?

- It has to be somewhere.

- It has to be but

it is not here so where

the f*** is our car?

- Check that way.

- Yeah that way.

That way, I will check it, yes,

okay,

no car, no car, no car.

F***.

Found anything?

Found anything?

- No!

- Answer me if I ask you.

- Adam here, come on.

- What?

- This is the tent that

we found in the trunk.

- What?

No way.

The tent.

- Yes, yes.

- And the bag?

- Yes.

Just calm down!

- Don't f*** tell me what to do!

- Calm down

please, just relax okay?

Listen to me.

Everything's going to be

alright.

Just come here, just

help me with this, okay?

We'll just keep going, we

have to leave this place.

Please, help me Adam.

- Okay.

- You're a real

gentleman, you know?

- F*** you.

Just f*** you.

- Damnit.

- Watch your step.

Watch your step.

- A double cheeseburger and a

coke,

that's what I go for

once we're out of here.

And you?

- Fries with Mayo.

- Fries with Mayo?

Seriously?

- What's wrong with that?

- No pizzas with extra

toppings, stuff like that?

- No.

But I think I could eat fries

til I burst, believe me.

- It's very cold.

- Maybe we should set up camp

and get out of here tomorrow.

- No, we should find the car.

- How did we not

hear anyone take it?

Sh*t.

- I know.

Maybe we took the wrong

trail or something,

we just ended up somewhere else

or not.

I really don't know.

- Hey, hey.

If you give us some flashlight

I do something here.

- Are we going to sleep there?

- Do you have any other idea?

- Okay.

Just do it.

How can I help you?

- Enough room?

- Sure.

You can come a bit closer if

you'd like.

- I'm okay.

We should wake up early in the

morning.

Everything will be alright,

okay?

- Right.

- You know, the station's

going to kill me.

Four cameras were in the car.

- We'll report it.

Just let's get out of here

somehow.

- Careful, don't drink too much.

- You should drink.

- Thanks.

Not even a damn stream anywhere.

- Be careful.

- Thanks.

What the hell is that?

Sh*t.

It's like an old cemetery.

Let me see.

Oh sh*t.

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Whoa.

- Is this a kid's?

- Freshly dug.

A few days old.

It's like sawdust.

- Bag, clothes over there.

- Wait, wait.

Nothing?

- Nuh uh.

- What is that?

Is that blood or what?

Yeah there.

Sh*t, are you okay?

- No, I'm not okay.

- Thora, you need

to pull yourself together.

We need to go!

- I just need a second, okay?

Just a second.

- Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

- What?

- If you put that away

you'd have more energy

and you could follow me faster.

- I don't give a sh*t.

We've been wandering around for

almost a day and a half now.

Is it that much of a problem

that I want to record

whatever did that by the tree?

- Yeah you'll probably

record a bear or something.

- That leaves

flakey dust behind?

Bears just left a department

store, right?

Hopped in to get a neat little

dresser

and had time to bury about

30 people in the forest.

- Stop it, alright?

- No no no no no,

you don't get to tell me

what to do.

Besides you are going to the

wrong way,

the trail goes to the right.

- We have to go this way.

- That is more

f***ing trees in front.

At least we could go around
