Quarries Page #2

Synopsis: To escape her abusive boyfriend, Kat joins a wilderness expedition with a group of women, all of whom are struggling with the uncertainty of life. What was supposed to be an opportunity for personal discovery quickly becomes a fight for survival, forcing each one to discover the strength within themselves that they didn't even know they possessed. While being brazenly chased by a pack of predators, the strong quickly set themselves apart from the weak. In a battle of will, stamina, and heart, these very virtues present themselves at the most crucial moment. With death looming, each is left with what is truly important - the strength within oneself.

Jesus.

Hi.

Boots, Brit, boots.

I know.

I know, two minutes.

Nice toes.

Uh, listen up, guys.

We have an update.

Yeah, so the fire

is, uh, still burning,

and it's crossing our path.

So the backup plan is about

250 miles north of here.

250 miles?

I mean, we were supposed

to leave in an hour.

And now we're leaving

in five hours?

I mean, come on.

So she controls the weather now?

Listen.

I just want to get

what I paid for.

Yeah, your parents' money.

Ooh.

Hey, guys, that's enough.

You guys are here for an

experience, not a vacation.

Wren?

I would also like

to point out the fact

that she did not go through

the wilderness training,

and I'm a bit concerned.

That was cleared through

me due to car trouble.

All right?

Any other questions?

Good, no.

Load 'em up.

Wren, no.

Come on.

Get in the van.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Thank you.

You're a terrible liar, so

don't make me do it again.

What... what are

you... what are you...

I was just waiting

to see if Katherine

wanted the window seat.

Or do you want to...

Very sweet, very considerate.

We can escape the

distractions of our lives

and learn to live in the moment.

I started this program

to offer an approach

that promotes physical, mental,

and emotional well-being.

Forming strong relationships

with nature, one's self,

family, community,

and each other,

these are the things that

create profound change.

The wilderness is not a

luxury, but a necessity.

The first time I went on

one of these trips, I was 13.

I was given a choice.

I could go voluntarily

or involuntarily.

I came out of those

woods a different person.

Chapman has this quote.

"The jungle is neutral."

It builds on what you bring in.

If you're weak,

it will break you.

Now get your packs

on, and let's go.

Please, just remember

the GPS and lie to me

and tell me that you fully

understand how it works.

I fully understand how it works.

Perfect.

Bye.

Bye.

All right, ladies, see

you on the other side.

See ya.

Nice.

Thanks.

Hey, guys, check this out.

Wow, this is so cool.

What is that?

30 aught 6.

30 ought what?

It's the range of caliber.

And how do you know that?

Because I've been shot before.

Well, congratulations,

your highness.

Do you know what

happens when you get shot?

No, I don't.

The round crushes

everything in its path,

sending shock waves

through your whole body.

And your bones?

They splinter.

And it rips through your

insides like hot razors.

Ow.

What?

Vicodin or Percocet?

Uh, neither.

Come on, guys.

Let's go.

Keep it up.

That looks so dope.

Gotta go this way, though.

One step, take it

one step at a time.

I don't need your help.

Come on, guys.

Let's go.

Guys, you go over there.

Well, she won't help me.

Keep it up.

Go ahead.

Hold on for stability,

less chance of a slip.

Wren.

I've got you in the back.

Go get 'em, son.

Joy, let's, uh, let's park

it up here for a few minutes,

OK, guys?

- All right.

Take a five-minute break.

God.

I'm just saying,

it's a lot of walking.

Get some water.

Make sure you guys are

staying hydrated, please.

Brit, phones don't

work out here.

How, uh, how are you holding up?

I'm all right.

Are those new boots?

Uh, yep.

You're gonna get

a lot of blisters.

It's gonna hurt like hell.

I can handle it.

OK.

You let me know if

you need moleskin.

How's she doing?

Why don't you ask her yourself?

Her face.

Yeah, I know.

Now are we gonna

keep this direction?

Mhm.

Right now, we're heading,

what, north about 30 degrees,

northeast?

I'll catch up with you,

uh, in three miles.

Seems like we might make

six miles on the day.

Joy, come on.

We're gonna stick together.

Yeah, well, I come out

here to get a peace of mind,

and I'm keeping my

distance from Wren.

Is this gonna continue

to be a problem?

Not for me.

All right, you guys.

Let's go... packs on,

hydrated, phones away.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Seriously?

That's mine.

Hey, Chris.

Yeah?

Put it in the garage.

Shut the door.

Hey, where's the fuel at?

About half a tank.

Drain it.

Holy hell.

How are the marshmallows?

Hmm?

Oh, would you like one?

Sure.

I will make you one.

No, uh...

Check this out.

Shh.

Uh, so how long have

you guys been together?

Um, two years.

Wow, that's a long time.

Congrats.

Thank you.

And how did you meet, where?

She was my yoga instructor.

Oh.

Of course, of

course, you do yoga.

Good for you guys.

Oh, thank you.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you gonna get in there?

I'm just kind of taking

it all in right now.

Husband or boyfriend?

Boyfriend.

Is it done?

Mhm.

You know what I used to

say when people would ask me?

What?

Everything is a mistake

until it becomes a lesson.

You OK?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

It's nothing.

What is it?

I just...

Oh.

How we met and Wren and...

No, I shouldn't

have said anything.

I'm sorry.

She makes comments

about everyone.

I know.

But why did you have

to tell her how we met?

Because that just gives

her fuel, you know?

You're right.

I shouldn't have said anything.

I'm sorry.

- It's OK.

It's not your fault.

When we were doing

my tent earlier,

I noticed that you

have a tattoo on your...

On your wrist.

It's pretty cool.

Thanks.

I have always wanted

to get a tattoo.

But I haven't really been

able to decide what to get.

Is your... is your tattoo

commemorating something?

Yeah, it's, uh, my

brother's birthday.

Really?

Mhm.

That's so nice.

That's totally the sort

of thing I would do.

But, like, that's... that's

that's really loving.

You must care about him.

Yeah, I do, a lot.

That's really special.

Mhm.

Um, what does... what

does your brother do?

Uh, he doesn't do anything.

He's dead.

Oh, god.

I'm really sorry.

It's OK.

It's not your

fault. It was mine.

- I'm sure it wasn't your fault.

- Yeah, it was.

It's me.

I know I'm the last

person that you

want to hear from right now.

But I just had to

call you and let you

know that I'm so sorry, babe.

I started looking up those

meetings like you asked me to.

And I promise you, when you come

back, I'll start going to them.

Call me.

I want to know where you are.

Just f***ing call me back.

If they'd have just stayed

out of our f***ing business...

It's driving me insane.

I just want you to come home.

Answer my f***ing

phone call now!

You know I would never

hurt you intentionally.

Heavenly father, guide us

from the hindrances and snares

of executing your judgement

so that we may dwell

safely in your manifestation.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Let him go.

Go on, boy.

Go on, boy.

Hey.

Hey.

Look what I found.

Wow.

So much for the

middle of nowhere, huh?

Jean, can we go check it out?

No, let's leave it alone.

We'll go this way.

You want to give me a piggyback?

Hell, no.

I don't know why

you have to ignore me.

Can you please not

do this right now?

I didn't start it.

Neither did I.

Oh, my god.

Hey, guys, remember,
