THIRS We're not ready,

and it's gonna be

more dangerous out there

because you fired Greg.

Because we don't have

any money to pay him, Burt.

-You're doing this, not me.

-The hell I am.

Do you not understand

what I had to do

to get these kids out here?

The bond I put up

for the insurance company?

You want to lose all that?

Rather than risk hurting

one of the kids? Yeah.

Why? It never

bothered you before.

Okay, Burt, stop.

I'm sorry. That was low.

But look, you're the reason

that we're in this mess.

I need you to remember that.

How long are you gonna

hold that over my head?

Till I can buy you out?

Look, we'll take Roth

as a guide. It's fine.

What? No, no. Bad idea.

He's the same age

as these kids.

-That is a bad idea.

-Stop it!

It's the only idea.

Listen to me.

You know, we've helped

a ton of kids out here.

They need us, so we'll just

bring Roth on this one trip,

and then I can work all this

other stuff out, all right?

Please. He could use a little

growing up anyway.

Hello?

Is it safe to come out?

Hey, yeah. Can you double-check

these bags for me?

-Everything okay?

-Great.

Yeah, okay, yep.

Yeah, we'll be ready.

Thanks, bye.

Where the hell is he? It's only

45 minutes to the cave and back.

Relax. He's a kid.

He'll be here.

You sure it's a good idea

to take...

Summer, he'll be fine.

There's no other option.

Finally.

Sorry, Claire, sorry.

I know I was gone longer

than you said, but you saw...

That sh*t's fine.

Listen to me.

We need you to be a guide

on this trip with us, okay?

What?

I'm the same age

as these idiots.

You know how they are.

They don't listen to me.

We're short-staffed.

You're coming.

-Uncle Burt, come on.

-We're in a pinch here, Roth.

It's only seven days.

Now gear up.

Yes, sir.

I really don't believe this.

So I know you don't mind

helping your uncle,

and the hike's

a piece of cake for you,

so what's up?

I don't know, Aunt Summer.

I'm not trying to be difficult

for you or for Burt.

It's just the kids

who come here,

they treat me like some outcast,

and I don't belong with them.

That's why they need

somebody like you,

to show them

how normal kids behave.

Besides, you don't want Burt

out there alone with Claire.

He might just kill her.

Look, it's just a week.

You can do this.

I know you can.

I love you.

I love you too.

All right, I'm gonna

head back to the house.

Be safe.

You too.

Showtime.

Great.

Step out,

ladies and gentlemen.

Say goodbye

to civilization

and hello to Second Chance.

-Where the hell are we?

-Hell.

Can we go inside?

I burn easily.

Well, aren't you lucky we have

a hat and sunblock for you.

Follow me, please.

Let's go, let's move.

Welcome, everybody.

I'm Dr. Claire Taylor,

owner and director

of Second Chance.

Behind you, Mr. Goodman,

our wilderness expert

and trail guide.

Behind him is Mr. Young,

assistant trail guide.

Come on, keep up.

All right, first things first.

We're changing into these.

Standard issue.

Hell, no.

Come on, Doc.

Make sure you have a pair

of pants, boots, socks.

Trapper Andrews.

What the hell kind of

a name is "Trapper?"

I suggest you

pick up your stuff,

or you're not going

to have any stuff.

Sure thing, Pops.

I also suggest that

you don't call me "Pops."

Sure...

Pops.

Burt, Burt!

Let him up, Burt.

A little respect, Mr. Andrews.

She won't always

be around here to stop me.

Hey! Hey, I know you.

Yeah, you're The Crusher.

You're The Mad Dog Crusher.

Who's The Mad Dog Crusher?

Just one of the greatest

cage fighters ever.

I heard he killed

some guy in the ring.

No one ever knew

where he went.

Get them ready, Claire.

-Now you know.

-Cool.

Everybody take

your stuff and meet over there.

Move.

Hey, Tom.

-How you doing?

-Hey, Claire.

The office has informed me

that I can't make

your supply drop on Wednesday

unless you bring

your account up to date.

you can't

give me till Monday?

Claire, you know

that's not my decision.

Yeah, I know.

We're just...

We're having

some cash flow issues,

but we'll be back in the black

after this group.

You know, we're doing a lot of

good with these kids out here.

Yeah, I know.

Please, listen,

come next Monday,

I promise you I will hand you

everything I owe you in cash.

All right?

You have my word.

-All right, all right.

-Thank you.

-Here's some mail.

-Great.

And, Claire, there's this.

Thanks. Safe flight.

Son of a b*tch.

Excuse me.

I'm so sorry.

-I didn't know that you were...

-Can you go?

Can you just please leave?

-Yes...

-Yeah, just get out.

Good start.

Perv.

This is bullshit.

Two goons came into the club

and dragged me out.

They didn't even give me

a chance to pack.

I was asleep.

They barely let me get dressed.

There's no way this is legal.

Okay, tell it

to your parents.

Where's Ramirez?

-Ramirez!

-Coming!

What is it, a crime to

take a crap around here?

Come on,

come on, come on.

All right, everybody,

listen up, okay?

I'm sure you want an explanation

of what you're doing here, yes?

This place is called

Second Chance for a reason.

This ain't Disneyland.

The place is harsh.

Nobody's here to save you,

any of that.

We're here to break you down

and try to change you.

All right?

The rules are very simple.

You eat what we give you,

sleep where we put you,

do what we tell you.

This will be your toilet.

-Hell no.

-Hell yes.

Well, then I'm definitely

dragging that outhouse with me

'cause I'm not doing

my business in the dirt.

Interesting.

I heard you'd do it anywhere.

-Are you kidding me?

-What?

I'm not gonna take that

from a pasty faced...

Hey, hey!

-Sit down!

-Don't touch me.

You have no right

to touch me.

If you touch her,

she can sue you.

Enough!

Let me make one thing

very clear.

I'm not gonna tolerate

an ounce of disrespect.

I'm here to try to make you

people productive human beings,

and if I have to make your life

miserable to do it, I will.

And you're not gonna

sue anybody, Mr. Richards.

Richards?

We'll just call you "Dick."

That's enough, Mr. Andrews.

That's enough.

We are gonna deal with

your issues with school,

with your parents...

with drugs...

and with the law.

One way or another,

this place is gonna

change your life forever.

This sucks.

Get used to it, pal,

'cause it's just

the beginning.

All right.

So if any of you

have anything on you,

please place it in here now

because we will find it.

Trust me. Burt has

a nose like a bloodhound.

As a reminder,

this is a wilderness camp,

so no phones, iPads, drugs.

Anything that we don't give you,

you should not have on you.

-All right, come on.

-Go right ahead.

I got a lot of things

in a lot of places.

Okay, hey, hey, hey!

Geez! Handsy much?

What else you got?

-Oregano.

-Really?

It's oregano.

I am a chef.

You got it all,

you got it all.

No, no, no!

Come on.

-All?

-You cannot...

This is no use.

Not out here.

Off to a very good start.
