kk [ Dance ]

[ Roars ]

Hello.

David? Jess!

- Hi, Mike.

It's about your family, sir.

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Amy ] Why don't you close your eyes.

We should try to get some rest.

[ David ]

Can we keep the lights on?

Well, I don't want to

kill the battery, hon.

What will we need it for after tonight?

You said they were gonna find us in the morning.

They are going to find us, but I don't know

how long the battery will last...

and we might need it

in the middle of the night.

Are they still there?

I don't know. I'll check.

[ Screams ]

[ Amy ]

It's okay.

Hey, it's okay.

Okay, okay. Calm down.

It's okay, David.

It's okay. Come on.

- [ David Sobs ]

Shh.

Shh.

- It's okay.

- [ Trembling ]

I'm really sorry, Mr. Newman, but there is

nothing more that we can do right now.

At least not till morning. If they're

not back by then, we will start searching.

What are we supposed to do till then,

just sit around with our thumb up our ass?

Uh, I don't think you have

much of a choice there.

Our chopper doesn't fly at night.

- Then why aren't we searching on the ground?

- We're trying.

Ma'am, why aren't we in a vehicle

searching on the ground?

We are, but a couple of torches

aren't gonna do much.

We really do have to wait

until first light, I'm afraid.

Remarkable.

Absolutely remarkable.

Look. Wait. Um-

There is someone that I know of

who could possibly help you.

Echo Charlie Zero,

this is Leopard's Rest Lodge. Over.

Crawford, are you there?

[ Man ]

Roger there. Shoot.

Good luck.

Hello, Mr. Crawford.

My name is Tom Newman.

I'm a guest at Leopard's Rest Lodge.

My wife and two children

have been missing since this afternoon.

Missing?

Yes, that's right. They were on a game drive,

and they haven't come back yet.

That's nice. Try the police.

No, no, no. The police aren't gonna

get here till tomorrow morning.

Sorry. Can't help you.

If you want a guided hunt, I'm your man.

If you want to find somebody,

call the rangers.

I'm with the rangers now,

Mr. Crawford.

- I'm talking to you from a ranger radio.

- I'd wait till after the rain.

Hello? Rain? What rain?

Hello! Ra-

What rain?

[ Rain Falling ]

[ Thunder Rumbling ]

[ Thunderclap ]

Whoa. What are you doing?

- Close the door.

- I'm thirsty.

I'm thirsty.

Okay.Just be quick, okay?

[ Growling ]

- [ Gasping ]

- [ Amy ] Oh, my God!

Are you okay? You all right?

I've got your cell number, so just keep it charged.

I'll phone you when we find them.

- Phone me? I'm coming with you!

- Only room for two in there.

- What am I gonna do, stay here?

- There's coffee in the kitchen.

- I'll call you.

- Are you kidding?

Where do I find this guy Crawford?

The keys! It's the keys!

[ Groans ]

Where?

Over there! Look!

Oh, I don't know. It could be an old can

or a piece of glass, babe.

No! It is the keys. Look.

Let me see.

We're saved! We're saved!

- We have to get 'em first, buddy.

- I'll go.

No.Jess! No.

You're staying in the car.

What are you talking about?

The lions are gone, and I'm much faster than you.

That doesn't matter.

I'm going, and that's final.

Nothing you say is final.

Okay.

When this is all over, you and I are gonna

sit down and have a long conversation.

But until then, you stay in the car.

[ Sighs ]

Don't leave us!

Hey. You want to

get out of here, right?

Okay. I'll be back in the blink of an eye.

I promise.

[ Quiet Growl ]

[ Growling ]

[ Growling ]

- Oh, sh*t.

- What?

- Amy!

- Run! Amy, run!

- Run, Amy!

[ David ]

- [ Roars ]

- Run, Amy!

Amy! Run!

Amy!
