to snap you into focus, right, Hartmann?

I'm coming after you, alright?

- No.

- No, come on.

- No, no, no, no. Please.

- It's alright, Mr. Hartmann.

- Nice and easy, Thornton.

- Oh...

That's not easy, Thornton.

Thornton, enough. That's enough.

Come on, boy. Get it under control.

Thornton.

- What the f*** are you doing?

- I'm trying to do it. Just go!

Thornton, stay still.

Hartmann, just come on your own.

Play nice, huh?

- Come on. She's waiting for you.

- F*** off, Marsac.

You did fine, Hartmann.

Come on. Good work. Well done.

That's it. Good work.

Okay. I got it.

You're laughing too much.

Let's see how you do.

Come on, class clown.

- Alright.

- Okay, Mr. Marsac.

Here we go.

That's lovely work.

Alright, boys. You're doing fine.

Right.

You have to think like your prey.

You get to know the animal,

its tracks, paths, and routes...

and that...

is where you set the snare.

One bunny, split nine ways,

is more of a snack than a meal.

Is it even worth it?

There isn't an animal in the wilderness

that can't be caught.

Big or small.

You just have to set the right trap,

in the right place.

Bend your elbow a little

and then stretch up.

Hartmann. Come on, rise and shine, buddy.

We got a big day ahead.

What's your problem, Herrick.

You got nothing better to do?

Come here.

You're a real a**hole, you know that?

Look around, buddy. I was doing you

a favor. Everybody else is up.

Remember what happened

last time you were late?

Dick.

Hartmann...

- I'm letting go the safety...

- No, no, no!

- ...so you can free-climb up like the others.

- No, no, no. Please don't...

No. F***ing leave him.

I've seen donkeys with three legs

move faster than this ass.

Yalla Imshi, Hartmann.

Just remember what I showed you.

Look for the hand and footholds, think about

how you're going to get there, then move.

Come on, princes, it's just one hand

in front the other. That's not hard.

Can we just go?

Alright. Let's give him ten to

decide if he wants to climb

- or live on a ledge for the rest of his life.

- No, no. No, no, wait, wait, please!

Guys.

F***!

Now you know what it feels like

to be left hanging.

Not very fun, is it? Not knowing

if anyone's coming back to get you.

Please, don't. Come back!

Look, I can't move.

Okay, listen to me. Just... breathe.

Pretend it's the...

climbing wall at Chelsea Piers.

You can do it.

See?

Fear is all in the mind.

Let's go.

Hey...

Thanks for back there.

- I'm not a huge fan of heights.

- Everyone's afraid of something.

Hey, hey, Amy, please.

I honestly don't remember

what happened that night.

I mean, I remember getting wasted

and having a really great time, but...

I don't remember the crash at all.

I don't know if I ran.

We should catch up to Maxwell,

before he lays the bait.

You're making something.

Yeah. It's a... a fishing fly.

My dad taught me how

to make these when I was a kid.

Feels like a lifetime ago.

Take a look around.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Clean air, trees, no skyscrapers,

no neon signs, no pollution.

Where would you be,

if you weren't here right now?

Getting wasted with a bunch of strangers?

Here, we have all this space to think.

It's kinda nice.

It sounds like Maxwell's getting to you.

Or maybe I just have

a lot of thinking to do.

About what?

Well, in five days,

I inherit the money my dad left me.

And the truth is, I'm terrified.

Of letting him down...

...of screwing it up.

He gave me this before he died.

"When you were born,

you cried and the world rejoiced.

"Live your life so that when you die,

the world cries and you rejoice."

It's an old Cherokee saying.

I just... don't want my life

to mean nothing, you know?

So, you're depressed because

you got all this money coming in

and you don't know how to spend it.

I thought you, of all people,

might understand.

I guess I was wrong.

Yeah?

Show me what you got. This way.

Hartmann.

I want you to cut its throat.

It's not easy to take a life, but sometimes

it's the only thing that stands between you

and survival.

I can do it.

Great. We just killed Bambi.

I give thanks to this beautiful creature

whose life we have taken.

And to this land...

and also to all of you.

I was sent to this place

as a punishment...

...but for the first time in my life,

I feel free.

And still my life is my own.

And... it's because of all of you.

It doesn't matter who are parents are.

We don't have to be like them.

We can make our own lives.

We can be free.

Amen to that.

Very good.

All right, fellas. Dig in.

Oh, it's tough!

- That's not tough, that's tender.

- It's food.

Tender like you, Maxwell?

Marsac... better than that goo

that serve you at the orphanage, huh?

Bit of jungle music.

Music!

Whoo!

I'm the only king of the jungle!

We're in position.

You giving the green light or not?

Roger that.

Birthday blues?

Yeah, sort of.

Just thinking about my dad.

Today's the day he gives me his last gift.

It just feels weird, you know?

Listen to me.

Your dad believed in you.

That's why he gave you that note.

He knew that you'd take the money and

use it for something to make a difference.

You just... gotta believe in yourself.

I mean, hating your stepdad because...

he's not your real dad,

that's just gonna eat you up inside.

That's what anger and hate does.

Trust me, I should know.

Maybe Maxwell's right.

Everybody deserves a second chance.

All right, man.

Are you ready?

Time to move.

That was good!

Ladies and gentlemen, please,

take your seats.

Man down.

# ...How the wind doth blow

# It stings the toes and bites the nose

As over the ground we go

- And happy birthday to...

- Amy!

Speech!

You are so uncool, Mr. Maxwell.

I take that as the highest compliment,

Miss Tilton.

Waiter. I would like a bottle

of your finest champagne.

- Yes, sir. Certainly, sir. Crystal, sir?

- Come on, "Cristal", Mr. Close.

That's what I said. Tuck in.

Hey...

Everybody say cheese.

Stay back! Come on now. Who are you...

Down. On the floor now!

Take it easy, man. Take it easy.

- Oh, my God!

- Over there! On the other side!

- Move.

- Get down.

- On the floor now.

- Get down.

Someone tell Miss Oshimoto

to shut the f*** up.

- Maxwell. Maxwell!

- You!

- Get down! Come here!

- Alright, alright!

- Move.

- On your knees.

Shut your f***ing mouth!

Nobody else gets hurt

if you do exactly what we tell you.

Do as you're f***ing told, alright?

We're missing Hartmann.

Where is he?

- They've taken their masks off.

- Shut up.

He didn't show up for dinner.

He's often late.

You're supposed to know where

everyone is at all times, Mr. Close.

Any ideas where he might be?

I don't want to have to hurt anyone.

- Please don't make me have to.

- He's in his room.

That's where I saw him last.

Go.

Do not f***ing talk. Hartmann's

your room-mate. Where would he go?

We're not gonna tell you.

Do you really think that worthless coward

would do the same thing for you,
