Prey Page #4

Is it... a lot further...

up ahead?

[ Native Language ]

Yeah.

[ Whispers ]

What are you doing?

Thank you.

Do you have anything that I can carry?

Carry back?

Water?

The water? Carry back?

Carry?

[ Wings Flapping ]

[ Native Language ]

Um...

what about the other one?

Can you cut it up?

Thank you.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Grunting, Snorting ]

- Shh!

- What? Let go of me!

- [ Native Language ]

- Let go of me.

- [ Native Language ]

- What?

What is it?

- [ Whispers ] Amy. David.

- Shh.

[ Native Language ]

- [ Whispers In Native Language ]

- What?

Amy?

Get in the car!

What are you guys doing?

- Thank God you're okay.

- What's going on? I heard a gunshot.

Where are you going?

Get in the car!

[Jessica ]

Where are you going?

The lion! It's gonna eat you!

You can't do anything,Jess.

You can't do anything.

- Want some?

- Yeah.

[ Coughs ]

- Scat.

- Scat?

Lion dung.

Okay.

Judging by the consistency,

he's eaten recently.

It's hard to tell what, exactly.

Okay.

Since the drought set in,

these guys have had a ferocious appetite.

So either he's eaten a gazelle, which is good,

because he won't be so hungry-

Or?

Or he's eaten something else.

Like a human?

Judging by the temperature,

he dumped that a couple of hours ago...

which means he's pretty far away now.

So, what do we do now?

Now? Now we set up camp.

- Camp?

- That's right.

'Cause there is not a ranger alive...

that can find your family

once the sun goes down...

Mr. Newman.

[ Growling ]

Well, I read it in some

wildlife magazine or something.

Hell, I can't remember where.

But it's rare that they attack people, right?

What I read was, they're more

afraid of us than we are of them.

- Right?

- Bullshit.

A hungry lion'll eat anything.

kk [ Pop ]

''[ Stops ]

Amy? Are you awake?

No.

Me too.

My iPod's dead.

Sorry.

Amy?

- Yeah?

- How'd you meet my dad?

Oh,Jess, I don't think

I wanna get into that right now.

No, I just wanna know.

Well, I was on a plane-

Mile-high club?

The mile-high club?

[ Sighs ]

-Jesus.

- Sorry.

Go ahead.

I was sitting two rows behind him.

We were on a flight to Chicago...

and halfway through the flight...

he came back and asked ifhe could

sit on the empty seat next to me.

- He approached you?

- Mm-hmm.

[Jessica ]

Well, what did he want?

We just started talking.

Before I knew it...

the captain had switched on

the ''fasten seat belts'' lights for landing.

What did you guys talk about?

Just things.

His life, my life.

Things.

And then?

And then we landed and-

The thing was, your dad had

a connecting flight to New York...

so you can imagine

how surprised I was when I...

saw him as I was getting into my cab.

- He got off his flight?

- Yeah.

Yeah. He had a white lily.

just a single white lily.

And then he asked me out to dinner.

- How cheesy.

- [ Giggles ] Yeah.

I usually don't fall

for things like that...

but, God, he was just so...

persistent, you know.

Yeah.

Jess, your parents were separated

when I met your father.

I promise you that. I would never have

gone out with him ifhe was married.

I wouldn't be sitting here right now

if he had been.

Yeah?

But we are.

Yeah.

[ Rustling ]

- Amy, what is it?

- I don't know. I can't see anything.

It's too dark.

- Amy, I can't see anything.

- I know. It's so-

- [ Screams ]

- What's going on?

- Let him in!

- [ Native Language ]

Open!

- Are you okay?

- What's going on?

Shh. Shh.

Oh, my God.

[ Panting ]

- [ Growling ]

- [ All Screaming ]

[ Man Screaming ]

Oh, God! Oh, my God!

Oh! Oh, my God!

[ Screaming Continues ]

Oh, my God! Get down! Get down!

Oh! No!

[ Growling Continues ]

[ Man Screaming ]

[ Growling Stops ]

- [ Panting ]

- [ Whimpering ]

[ Gasping ] Get the seats up!

Barricade the window!

Get in the back!

Get down. Get down.

[Jessica ]

Amy...

it's been two days...

and two nights.

What if nobody comes?

Tom's coming.

What if he can't find us?

Then we wait.

Wait to starve?

We don't have a lot of options.

We need a place

where rescuers can find us.

Yeah.

How do you plan

to fend off the lions? Huh?

Maybe they're full.

''Maybe they're full''?

Maybe they found someone else to eat.

- Maybe they've given up.

- Maybe they've-

Yeah, maybe they're just waiting

for us to expose ourselves.

We need food, we're dehydrated...

and our one source of protection,

this stupid car...

is falling to pieces.

[Jessica ] At some point we're gonna

have to get out of the car and go find help.

So our only choices right now

are to starve to death...

or be eaten?

I don't wanna die here.

I won't let you die here.

What are we gonna do?

[ Sniffles ]

Okay.

[ Sniffles ]

Okay.

[ Sniffles ]

Okay. We just gotta do the best

with what we got. Right?

We need to...

barricade that window.

Right?

So...

I want you to just be careful with this.

I want you to cut the seat belts

and somehow...

secure those seats

in front of the window.

- Okay?

- Okay.

And when you're done...

let's cut up this carpeting

and put it in front of the windows.

Shades.

It's too damn hot in here.

What about me? What can I do?

You can help me take inventory. Okay?

I want you to go through every pocket,

every bag, every compartment.

I wanna know exactly

what we have to work with.

Mr. Crawford. Mr. Crawford.

[ Shrieking ]

[ Growling, Barking ]

Gross.

[ Whining ]

[ Growling ]

- That one over there just pulled his foot off.

- David, stop looking.

- But it pulled his foot off.

- David!

[ Amy ] Why don't you show me

the inventory, huh? Come on.

[ David ]

Well, I found two black pens...

an owner's manual, a tool kit...

some tissues, a road map...

rubber bands

and cough drop wrappers.

And I also found this.

-[Jessica ] That's not mine.

- Yeah, it is.

David, no, it's not.

Oh, yeah? Then whose is it?

It's mine. Okay?

Sometimes I smoke

when I'm nervous or stressed...

and I was nervous coming here, and-

Sometimes you guys

stress me out, so-

I guess we can be

a little overwhelming at times.

Yeah. A little.

[ Laughs ]

Don't worry.

Your secret's safe with us.

Thanks.

Okay, let's put this stuff away.

- [ Birds Shrieking ]

- Mmm. Mmm.

Mr. Crawford, that is-

that is not a gazelle.

Mm-mmm.

So, what are we looking for?

The rest of this guy.Just stay tight.

We might have some bigger company.

[ Whining ]

That's strange.

- What?

- They all just left.

Like they got scared or something.

Scared?

[ Growling ]

- Slowly.Just move back slowly.

- [ Growling Continues ]

[ Growling Continues ]

He's leaving!

[ Vehicle Approaching, Faint ]

Is that a car?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that is a car.

Must be on the other side of the ridge.

The damn trail's gone cold, man.

Let's get back to the jeep,

keep driving.

- We'll pitch camp. Tomorrow we head west.

- Pitch camp?

Pitch camp.

Tomorrow we head west.

But you said the rangers

are covering the west.

There's no point

in covering this area anymore.
