What?

It's just not working.

- Why would it do that?

- I don't know.

Whoa! What is that?

Oh, my God. What is that?

- Josh, I don't like this.

- Hold on, wait.

Just stay still. Where is it coming from?

I don't know.

- Oh!

- Ashley.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Josh.

Ashley, run! Run!

Oh, my God!

- Get down! Get down!

- Ow!

Run!

Jesus Christ! Whoa.

Holy sh*t. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Josh? Josh?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, you?

Yeah.

Your hands are shaking.

I'm scared.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

Oh, Mark! Are you all right?

Mark, tell me you saw that, man.

I saw the car.

- You saw the what?

- I saw the car. It's close.

You saw the car?

- What are you talking about?

- Come on.

- Mark, where are you going?

- I don't know.

Can we just get the hell out of here, please?

- No, wait!

- Mark!

- Mark!

- Let's go!

Okay, Mark, slow down!

- Tell me you saw that, man.

- Hey.

Can we just get the hell out of here, please?

I think we should have a group huddle first.

Mark, what was that?

Come on, man, what did you see?

Josh, I need you to stop talking

until we find the car.

Okay. You're sure the car's over here?

Yes, I'm positive the car's over here.

Can we please talk about what we got on tape?

Oh yes!

- I told you.

- The car!

Oh, oh!

Thank God.

We're not gonna see anything, Josh.

- Josh, get your ass in the car.

- Ah, come on, what if they come back?

I swear to God I'll leave you. Let's go.

- Just five minutes, man.

- Come on. Get in the car.

You really didn't see anything?

I thought I did. I thought I saw these, um...

- Like circles?

- No, dumbass. Like rings.

And they were above me,

and then they were gone.

Wait, rings like the petroglyphs?

Did you guys not see these?

All right, it was obviously

in my head, all right? Let's just go.

Oh sh*t. Oh sh*t.

There we go.

Oh, thank God.

You guys, what the hell just happened to us?

No one has ever filmed

anything like that before.

Let's just get out of here.

Signs of civilization.

I know. It feels so nice to listen to music.

You're gonna be real famous, Josh.

- I think he will be.

- Thank you.

Yeah, until they think it's all faked.

- Are you okay, Mark?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Your head feels a little bit hot.

Yeah, I have a stomachache, but I'm good.

I think Mark's gonna be the most famous

when people see how bad he pissed his pants.

Dude, shut up. Are you serious?

- Mark, you were really scared.

- I would have loved to see

- either of you up there by yourselves.

- You should have seen your face.

Okay.

What's up with the radio?

- I have to drive for two hours.

- All right, all right, all right.

And we're done shooting.

Whoa, whoa, what is that?

- What?

- Is that a car?

- What is that?

- What the hell is that?

It's just a car.

No, no, no, there's no way on earth.

Josh, cars don't have one light.

What is that?

Is it getting clo... turn that off.

Sorry.

- Okay, Mark, speed up. Go, go, go, go, go.

- I am.

Josh, is it getting closer?

Yeah, it's getting closer, I can see it.

- Oh, my God.

- What the hell is that?

Josh, it's not a car! Josh, it's not a car!

Josh, what's it doing? What's it doing?

- Is it getting closer?

- Oh, my God, it's right behind us!

Mark, speed up! Go, go, go, go, go!

I'm going as fast as I can!

- Don't stop, dude!

- My car just died!

- Oh, my God. I don't like this!

- What just happened?

What just happened? The car isn't going.

The car isn't going.

What the hell just happened?

Josh. Josh.

- What the heck!

- Okay, stop.

Uh, everything was fine with the car,

and now... it's not.

The engine doesn't have power.

The whole car in general doesn't have power.

Ah.

My mouth tastes weird.

Adrenaline. It's why your mouth tastes weird.

No water.

Yo, Josh, come help me.

Cool.

Ash, put the E-brake up.

There we go. You ready? Let's go.

What the hell is going on, man?

I don't know, man.

All right, that's good, Ash.

- Mark?

- Yeah?

Hey, man, you all right?

- Yeah.

- Dude. Dude, your nose is bleeding.

What's going on?

- What happened?

- I just have a nose bleed.

- What?

- I'm fine.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I used to get 'em all the time

when I was a kid. Stop.

- Oh, my God.

- It is the dry air.

- You're sweating.

- I'm fine.

- Is it any better?

- Oh.

Here.

How far do you think the gas station is?

- Mark?

- Uh, seven, eight miles.

In the dark?

We should stay with the car,

we're not doing that. That's crazy.

Yeah, we are. No, honest,

it'll take a couple hours,

it'll be open, we'll get some help.

- Let's go. Josh?

- Come on.

Ashley, this is crazy.

Shoot.

- You all right?

- Huh?

You cool?

- You all right?

- Hey, guys.

- Yeah.

- Come on.

You guys, it's getting cold.

Hey, Ash?

Hey, Ash? Let's let Mark catch up.

Something's wrong with him, Josh.

- It's, uh, just a nose bleed.

- No.

It's not just a nose bleed.

I mean, something happened to him up there.

It's not just a coincidence, the car dying

right when the lights came back.

So what are you saying?

They're messing with us?

They're following us.

Guys!

Do you hear that?

- Did you hear that?

- Hear what?

Come here.

Mark, come on.

No, someone's out there.

Hey!

- Mark!

- Come... come here! Come help us!

Dude, come on!

Come help us!

- What is he talking about?

- Dan, I can hear you.

- Mark!

- Mark!

Shh.

Dan! Thank God!

- What? Do you hear anything?

- Guys, it's my brother!

How did you find us?

What the hell is he talking about?

- Mark! Come on!

- Mark!

JOSH! Mark, come on!

Whoa! Jesus! Ashley!

Mark!

What was that?

I don't know.

Ow! Ah! Ah!

- Mark!

- Mark! What the hell?

Mark!

Hey, Mark! I can't see his headlamp.

Mark?

Come on, man.

Hold on.

- Did you hear anything?

- No.

'Cause Mark said he heard voices.

What voices, Josh? There's no one out here.

Let's just find Mark. Hey, Mark!

He looked so sick. Mark?

How much further could he have gone?

- I don't... I don't know.

- Mark!

Mark!

Oh, God.

We're not going anywhere until we find Mark.

Mark!

- Ashley.

- No, we're gonna find him.

Ashley.

Mark!

Mark!

- He's gone.

- He's not gone.

He's not gone. He's just...

he's just lost. He's just lost, okay?

What are you talking about?

He was there, and then he was gone.

Something took him. They took him.

No. No one took him.

He's probably behind

one of these hills. Okay?

But we... we've gotta keep moving.

We've gotta keep moving,

we've gotta find people.

We can come back and help Mark, all right?

So come on.

Come on. Please.

- Okay.

- All right, all right.

Okay.

All right. I'm okay. I'm okay.

Listen...

don't worry about him anyway.

Okay? He's been in...

the Boy Scouts

since he was like two years old.

- Mark!

- And he's go...

Holy sh*t!

- What? What is it?

- Look! Look, it's a light!

- Is it them?

- No!

That's like... like a street light

or a trailer or something.

I told you.

Okay. Let's go.

We can get some water. Call for help.
