BOTH: Bye. 'Bye. Here we go. # We are young, we run free # Keep our teeth nice and clean # See our friends, see the sights # Feel alright... # My friends are morons. # We wake up, we go out... # You better be careful - might end up in the Tower of London. Criminal. # See the sights, feel alright... # Ta-da! # Are we like you? # I can't be sure # Of the scene as she turns... # (LAUGHS) # But we are young... # (LAUGHS) # Nice and clean See our friends... # MAN: And here in front of us, we have the beautiful Danube River. We're doing Prague. Hi, Paul. We're at the Tower of London. Here we come, Kiev. We're coming to see you, Paul. (MAN LAUGHS) You guys are ridiculous. -Dude, it was so much fun. -Yeah. Hey, ladies. Want to put your stuff away? -Awesome place you got. -Best place ever, eh, Chris? -I got it. -I got it, I insist. -Where are we sleeping? -I put a pillow on the patio. (MOCKS) I told you, I put a pillow on the patio. -You're sleeping in my room. -Oh, great, even better. Some chick still sleeping in there? -Quite possibly. -Hope you cleaned the sheets. -Or burned them. -I heard that! -So, Kiev, huh? -Kiev, baby. I thought for sure your ADD would have kicked in by now. Dude, I'm telling you, man, I don't think I'm leaving. I love it here. The chicks, they're fucking amazing. They absolutely love Americans and they are completely fucking insane. They have to be if they want anything to do with you. -So, Amanda... -Yeah, OK. -What? Chris! -I knew this was coming. Rob literally broke up with her three weeks before we were supposed to come here, and Natalie had to drag her ass onto the airplane. Perfect! Look at her. She's lonely, she's in Europe. Best way to get over an ex is with a fling. -You're a sick sonofabitch. -I'm not sick, dude. -Would you stop? -(LAUGHS) -Do I have a shot with her? -No. -You don't. Zero. -Alright. Fine. -(LAUGHS) I'll leave it alone. -Thank you. What about you and Natalie? You guys going good? It's creepy when you look at me like that, dude. Hold this. -Are you serious? -(LAUGHS) Are you serious? Yeah, dude! I haven't asked her yet. I'm gonna propose in Moscow. -Does she have any idea? -I hope not. -What about Amanda? -No. That's awesome, dude. (THUMPING DANCE MUSIC) Fucking riot! Oh, man. Thank you so much. This was such a good night. -Yeah, it was. -Told you, man. OK. Save it for the apartment. Go to town. Don't listen to him! Whoa, whoa! You alright? -Yeah. Good save. -Watch out. These cobblestones, they'll get you. (LAUGHS) Thank you for being a good host. -We've had a lot of fun. -My pleasure. You enjoying yourself in Kiev? -I am, yes. Beautiful city. -Not bad, right? Yeah, it's great. Wait until Moscow. Wait until you get to Moscow. -Hm. -Do you believe me? Hmm...I don't know. Do you trust me? I don't trust you in those heels. -Paul, hands off! -Sorry. (ALL LAUGH) -You're in trouble. -I am in trouble. I can't promise what's gonna happen at the end of the road. -But don't fall. -(GIRLS SING AND LAUGH) The stairs are slippery. Please, lock your door tonight. I don't trust him. -Christopher. -Yeah? You are visiting your brother in Kiev. Well, I had to chase you down. I didn't know you booked a one-way ticket. Aah! I miss you, buddy. Yeah, I miss you too, man. It's good to see you. How are things back home? Good? Yeah, things are great. Mom's worried sick, of course. You know how she is. Have you spoken to Dad? No, I, uh... No. -You should call him. -I know. -Paul, which way should we go? -Left. (MEN SPEAK UKRAINIAN) Hey, hey, hey! We don't want any trouble, seriously. (MAN SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) (REPLIES IN UKRAINIAN) -NATALIE: Hey! -Don't touch me. -Come on, let's just go. -Goodnight. -Have a good night. -(MAN MOCKS) Goodnight. -Bye-bye. -Come on. -(MEN SPEAK UKRAINIAN) -Fucking losers. CHRIS: Real friendly people here. Don't worry about it. We got a big day tomorrow. AMANDA: OK, I'm assuming this is the breakfast menu. I don't know. Excuse me, is this... CHRIS: She hasn't had her coffee yet. Wow. Where's Paul? He's supposed to help us with this. I just want something greasy. Can you point out something greasy? You need the hangover special. Amanda, I want to apologise for Paul's behaviour last night. Oh, please, he's fine. I know the type, you know? Just all talk. Yeah, well, with him it's not always just talk. I can handle him. I'm not too worried about it. And I'm sure deep down in there somewhere... -Very deep down. -..he's a good guy. You know? It's just an act, that's all. He's related to you, and you turned out alright. -That's true. -Yeah, you're OK. Let me know if I need to kick his ass for you. Morning, children. How we doing? -Hello. -How are you? Fantastic. Um, so I know I said we're going to Moscow. Mm-hm. But let me ask you a question, and I want an answer. The answer's already no. You guys ever heard of Chernobyl? -Yeah. -Yeah. Isn't that where the nuclear disaster happened? Yes. I met this really cool guy, Uri, who is a, uh... Have you heard of extreme tourism? Uh, no. Somehow... You guys see where this is going, right? We're going to Moscow as we talked about. Can I please finish? So, there's this place called Pripyat, the town right next to Chernobyl. Uri, who is... (UKRAINE ACCENT) ..really excited to take us, is an extreme tour guide. He'll show us this city that was abandoned overnight, literally - they had no time to take anything. Factories, schools, stores, homes, apartments, everything's still there. Imagine the photo shoot you could have, Amanda. But... OK, I hear that. But its radiation levels - it's probably pretty dangerous, right? Nope. We'll only be there a day - a few hours, see some cool shit, then we split. -How are we gonna get there? -Uri will take us. -He's got a van. -A van. -Yeah. -He has a van? -He has a van! -OK. Aside from the sketchy van situation, and if you promise that this tour's safe, I think it could be kind of cool. -That's what I'm talking about. -You're kidding. No. I mean... I don't know. He's right. We're in Europe. We might as well see as much as we can while we're here. Tell me you don't want to meet Uri. -I don't want to meet Uri. -You haven't even met him yet. We'll take some pictures, explore a bit... -Just exploring. -Then be on our way. Right? I don't like that he's rubbing off on you. He's definitely not rubbing off. You're incredible. You know that? Alright, let's settle this by a show of hands, please? Who's coming with Paul to Chernobyl? -Yeah! -You're kidding me, right? You guys are so weak. Alright, kids. Welcome to Uri's Extreme Travel. -Let's do it. -Uri's Extreme Travel? -(CALLS) Uri! -(MAN ANSWERS IN UKRAINIAN) What's up, buddy? -Good morning. -Good morning. -Alright, man. -Come in. Welcome. The gang is all here. This is my little brother, Chris. -How you doing? -His girlfriend, Natalie. -Natalie. -The lovely Amanda. -Guys, this is Uri. -AMANDA: Hi. Hello. So I was telling them about our little adventure today and Chris got parental, as usual. Can you give him peace of mind before he pisses his pants? -You're feeling nervous? -No, I'm not, I'm not nervous. It's a nice shop you got here. It's very, uh...professional. Thank you. It's all mine. -It's all yours, huh? -AMANDA: Yeah, very nice. -Yes, it's all mine. -Are you ex-military? Yes - special forces. What does it matter if he's a fucking magician, dude? I'm just asking a fucking question. Uri, what's the plan for today? What are we doing? Well, this is a very well organised tour. I've been taking special adventurous tourists for a while now, so you should feel very, how you say... -Special? -Special. I like that. (LAUGHS) OK, so imagine you have big city and no-one there. -All to yourself. -AMANDA: Wow. -NATALIE: Is it safe? -Of course it's safe. This is not my first rodeo, Natalika. Hi! So sorry we're late. (AUSTRALIAN ACCENT) We're here. Hey, you guys are with the special tour, yeah? ALL: Yeah. I'm Michael. This is my Viking, Zoe. How you doing? Chris. Nice to meet you. Hey, what's up, man? Paul? Nice to meet you. -OK, we go. Come, come. -MICHAEL: Alright. CHRIS: Sweet. -Did we hold you up? -No, no, you guys are fine. Zoe, I told you, go with the flow. So tell me, what's up with the whole Viking thing? ZOE: He calls me that all the time. I'm from Norway. (LAUGHS) Yeah, buddy! AMANDA: Are you kidding? That's what we're riding in? Might as well just roll with it. MICHAEL: Whoo! First time, mate? Pripyat? Yeah. How about you guys? Yeah. Someone said it's pretty fantastic. Yeah, I heard it's pretty awesome. You two sweethearts 'mooning? -Mooning? -What? -Honeymoon. -Yeah, actually, we are. -We're just friends, really. -Ouch. -Ouch! -Are you guys? Oh, yeah, we're timeless. No. A month. You've only been together a month? These two are practically married. -URI: Here we go. -Shotgun! Anybody gets hungry, I have beef jerky. Pripyat is two hours from here and Chernobyl is not far from there. MICHAEL: Good times. NATALIE: What exactly happened in Chernobyl? The Chernobyl disaster was the result of failed systems tests. It caused sudden power surge and reactor number four became one with the air. -NATALIE: One with the air? -Vaporised. CHRIS: Exploded. (SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) I'm sorry, what does that mean? Nature has reclaimed its rightful home. (EERIE MUSIC) (LAUGHS) URI: Here we are. Welcome to Pripyat. Photo. We're now entering exclusion zone. CHRIS: How long is it safe to be here? It's very safe. We'll only be in Pripyat for two hours. What is this place? -Is this like a checkpoint? -Looks like it. Why would there be a checkpoint in an abandoned town? MICHAEL: Tourists. -OK, let me do the talking. -PAUL: You think? -Put your cameras away. -AMANDA: Yeah, got it. -PAUL: That guy's... -CHRIS: Yeah, looks serious. (BOTH SPEAK INAUDIBLY) I don't know what they're saying, but this guy's saying no. PAUL: Look at this guy. AMANDA: What do you think's going on? ZOE: Oh, it's scary! CHRIS: God, look at that guy. (TENSE MUSIC) (ZOE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) (URI SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) (SIGHS) He is not letting us in today. There's...maintenance going on. Maintenance work? I thought you said this place was abandoned. It is unusual. Usually they let me know in advance if something like this is going to happen. Wait, I thought you said everything would be taken care of. We paid for this tour, bro. I know, I know. Don't worry - there is more than one way into Pripyat. PAUL: Make it happen. AMANDA: It's so bizarre - there's no birds or anything. MICHAEL: Ah, this must be Uri's special entrance. Paul, this looks fucking sketchy, man. Hey, stop being a pussy. We came all this way. Enjoy yourself, alright? It's called being sensible. This is not right, you guys. We'll end up in a Ukrainian jail or something. MICHAEL: Ah, come on. Just think of it as an adventure. -ZOE: It's OK. -This is awesome. PAUL: Really? (LAUGHS) OK, no problem. Today we have Pripyat to ourselves. -Sweet. -AMANDA: Alright. URI: Here we go. (QUIET, UNSETTLING MUSIC) AMANDA: I was not expecting a lake out here. URI: And there is Pripyat, home to the workers and families of Chernobyl. Whoa. CHRIS: It's incredible. Hold on - this is going to be a little bumpy. A little bumpy. ZOE: Oh, you're not gonna... (ALL LAUGH) URI: And down we go! And up! -AMANDA: Oh, my God! -(ALL LAUGH) (ALL CHATTER AND LAUGH) When are you putting seatbelts in this thing? (ALL LAUGH) NATALIE: Or barf bags. ZOE: It's ridiculous. OK, now I want to show you something important. (PAUL IMITATES URI) He wants to show something important. Stay close behind me. -Paul. -Yeah. I want you to tell me if you see something moving in the water, OK? OK. (CRIES OUT) Give me your hand! Give me your hand! MICHAEL: You OK, mate? (LAUGHS) Funny bugger! -(CONTINUES LAUGHING) -NATALIE: Fucking comedian. -Is jerky. -Jerky, you jerk. -Guys, can we go, please? -Fucking got me. -Yeah, he got me too. -(OTHERS LAUGH) -(AMANDA GASPS) Ooh! -That was a joke. URI: Hey, hey. -Come have a look at this. -Is this another joke? CHRIS: Yeah. No. Come, come. -Holy cow. -Don't get too close. -Why? It's dead. -NATALIE: That's disgusting. MICHAEL: Look at the chompers on him. What is that thing? MICHAEL: Touch it, mate. -(WOMEN SCREAM) -Whoa! (ALL LAUGH) -Who's the pussy now, huh? -You guys are disgusting. Keep it up, keep it up. -Can we go? That's disgusting. -MICHAEL: Awesome. -Moving on. -That was... See its teeth? It was cool, huh? (QUIET, UNSETTLING MUSIC RESUMES) ZOE: Did you just make a rhyme, Uri? -Yes. -(LAUGHS) -Make small joke. -That's a worry? -Here is Uri. -(LAUGHS) CHRIS: Uri, how long has this place been abandoned? It's been 25 years. Only recently have radiation levels gone down. MICHAEL: Man, this is crazy. It's creepy as fuck. We are back on main road. Is only way in and out of Pripyat. Yeah. Except for your short cut, right? This is where the families of the workers in Chernobyl lived. MICHAEL: Wow. -See? -Yeah. These were all full at one point? Yes. Very sad. 50,000 people. Families just left. -OK, hold on. -Oh, wow. -Little bump, little bump. -(ZOE SQUEALS) -Bumper cars? -Alright. MICHAEL: I used to love those things. We're here. PAUL: Still want to go home, Chris? MICHAEL: Thanks for the reminder. CHRIS: I'm glad we're here, thanks. PAUL: You're welcome. MICHAEL: Stretch the legs. -Wow. -CHRIS: Guys, look at this. (SIGHS) Man. OK, everyone. Stay near me and you'll be safe. I have Geiger counter. It will let us know if the radiation levels are high. -MICHAEL: That's good. -OK? (GEIGER COUNTER BEEPS AND THEN CRACKLES SOFTLY) Levels are good. Can you guys imagine this full of kids, like, playing? It's really sad, actually. PAUL: They had no idea. AMANDA: Wow. I have never seen anything like this. Getting ready for a carnival here or something. They were preparing for May Day, celebration of spring. -Oh. -Never happened. OK, let's go. Can we get a photo? Everyone get in a photo? -Hey, guys. -CHRIS: Alright. Group photo. Our new friends. URI: OK. -(PHONE BEEPS SOFTLY) -Good. (EERIE MUSIC) (MUSIC CONTINUES) -(LAUGHS) -CHRIS: Yeah, it's so... AMANDA: And it's like... so much life and it's just... (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) Hey, you hear that? Silence. AMANDA: It's like nature really has taken over. One last thing. -ZOE: We're going in? -Yes. Really? -Oh! -MICHAEL: Whoa, Zoe. Hey, babe, it's OK. They usually don't come so close to town. Must have been starving. -Well... -I reckon he's right. Come in. -NATALIE: That's disgusting. -That's the VIP entrance. PAUL: Poor guy. AMANDA: Are there any other animals here? Unlikely, especially during the day. Just you. (LAUGHS) ZOE: Hey. Hey! (WHISPERS) Stop it. Here's one of a thousand apartments that were abandoned. The people were not even given five minutes to collect their personal possessions. You can't take that. It's contaminated. I was just looking. Spot the convict. Cheers, mate. It's contaminated. For a while, people came here and they looted through these buildings. They took these things, sold them on black market. People who bought them got sick, not knowing they were contaminated by radiation. Sorry. I was just... Come, let's have a look. ZOE: But it's OK to be here and breathe and... URI: Yes, yes. We're not here long enough to get exposure. AMANDA: Thanks. (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) Chernobyl reactor number four, where the disaster happened. -PAUL: That's pretty close. -Have you been inside? No. You can only go inside with radiation suit, only for short period of time. Here, take picture. -ZOE: This is cool. -MICHAEL: I know, babe. CHRIS: Take a nice romantic photo? -AMANDA: Alright, alright. -Hey, I wasn't gonna... -PAUL: Disaster snap. -ZOE: Oh, yeah, he was. AMANDA: This is going on the fridge. -It's a metaphor here. -Do tell. MICHAEL: That was beautiful. CHRIS: Our love was just exploding. (NATALIE LAUGHS) Oh, God! (ALL LAUGH AND CHATTER) (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS) We should go now. It's going to get dark soon. We should get back to van before then. (CLATTERING) CHRIS: What the fuck was that? -It's gonna be a trick. -Shh. (DOOR SQUEAKS QUIETLY) (CLATTERING) (CLATTERING) (NATALIE WHISPERS) What the fuck is it? AMANDA: Shh, shh, shh. (GROWLS) (AMANDA SHRIEKS) Oh, my God! -CHRIS: Holy shit! -Is everyone OK? -(ALL TALK AT ONCE) -Let's go. Move, move, move! CHRIS: Go! -What the fuck was that? -Go, go. MICHAEL: A black bear or a fucking brown bear! Oh, Jesus! ZOE: What the... What is a bear doing here? NATALIE: Let's get the fuck out of here. AMANDA: Watch out for that. Oh, fuck. -MICHAEL: Whoa! OK. -PAUL: Holy shit! Can we just get the fuck out of here? -Thanks for that. -Ah, don't mention it. I told you it'd be exciting, didn't I? Yeah. Getting mauled to death by a radioactive bear from hell? That's pretty exciting. Anybody else have a story like this? -NATALIE: Funny. -You OK? -Anyone get a photo? -(LAUGHS) CHRIS: Photo! This guy. (ZOE LAUGHS) Bear, bear, bear! (ALL CHATTER) ZOE: So, Uri, all the animals, they stay in the woods, huh? Very unusual. I've been doing this for five years. I've never seen anything like this. PAUL: Getting chilly out here, huh? A dog or wolf, but bear? Very odd. -It was exciting, right? -MICHAEL: Yeah, right. No extra charge for bear attack. Say goodbye to Pripyat. -Ciao. -Yeah, ciao, ciao. Hey, Christopher? -BOTH: Moscow. -Thank you. (LAUGHS) Hey, mate, I'll have to get your email, eh? -Sure, dude. -Catch up again. I'll be back to Kiev. Yeah, dude. -It was a blast. -It was a pleasure. -Turn the heater on, buddy. -(ENGINE STALLS) Pump it. Give it some gas. Give it some gas. What's up? Is there gas in there? Yes, half a tank. -(ENGINE STALLS) -Is it the starter, mate? This happened before? CHRIS: I don't suppose you guys have AAA out here. -Do you have reception? -(MUTTERS IN UKRAINIAN) MICHAEL: I haven't had reception all day, guys. There's no phone reception out here. What the fuck happened to that? Who would have done that, mate? It's fucking been chewed on. -NATALIE: What's happening? -AMANDA: What's going on? -The wires have been destroyed. -Chewed on. What do you mean chewed on? By what? An animal? What animal chews on car parts? Are you sure we're out here alone? Yes. You heard the soldiers this morning. This place is off limits. We are here alone. What the fuck is it, Michael? The spark plug leads, right, have been chewed on... -Can you call someone? -A raccoon or a rat... How did they get through? Under the car, through the engine. (DEVICE BEEPS) (SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) (STATIC BUZZES) -(SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) -Guys, guys, guys. Shut up and let him try. (STATIC BUZZES) Fuck me. MICHAEL: Uh... So, Uri? What's the plan, man? Hey, big fella, what's the plan? (LOW, UNSETTLING MUSIC) (URI SPEAKS UKRAINIAN) (WOMEN CHATTER QUIETLY) (URI CONTINUES IN UKRAINIAN) Well, this is great. Gotta hand it to you. Some fucking tour, mister. This is not my fault. Oh, really? Not your fault? 'Cause last time I checked, you drove us out here. NATALIE: If not for you, we wouldn't be here either. Sorry I tried to show you fun while you were visiting me! CHRIS: Oh, yeah, lot of fun. Hey, Chris? Alright, you know what? Relax. We're fine. We're fucking stranded out here. And don't tell me to relax. I swear to God, this is the last time I listen to one of your dumb... Hey, you know what? Your fucking whining isn't helping! AMANDA: OK, guys, guys, guys, guys. Hey, Uri? Someone has to know we're out here, right? I work alone. (PAUL LAUGHS SCORNFULLY) Fucking great. So, tell me, Uri. What are our options right now? We stay in van. -Are we safe here? -Yes, we're safe. We close windows, lock doors. In morning, I fix van, we drive out, or we all walk back to checkpoint. Wait, I'm sorry - are you suggesting that we spend the night here? OK, guys. Sorry, we're gonna have to hike out of here. Alright? Uri, how far to the checkpoint? -It's 20km. -20km? -That's, like, 12, 13 miles. -Exactly. We can hike that. -No, no, no. Not at night. -(DISTANT WHOOP) -It is not safe... -Shh! Be quiet. -(EERIE ECHO) -What the fuck was that? -ZOE: Are there people here? -It's impossible. CHRIS: Shh! (DISTANT SHRIEK) It sounds like a baby. What is that? -It's not baby. -Then what the fuck is it? Whoa. What's with the gun, man? -You have problem? -Yeah. What's with the fucking gun? You should all be glad I have this. Everyone stay here. (OPENS DOOR) -A gun? -Where's he going? -ZOE: Do you trust him? -PAUL: You wanna go with him? MICHAEL: Easy, bro. ZOE: I don't know. It's just with the... -Fuck it. -Just stay here. PAUL: Chris, what the fuck are you doing? -AMANDA: Where's he going? -I'm coming with you. I don't want you to come with me. Just sit in the car and think of another way you can fuck this up even further. I swear to God, it's a hazard having you as a brother. NATALIE: Chris! (SHOUTS) Chris! -ZOE: What's he gonna do? -MICHAEL: I don't know, babe. -NATALIE: Where's he going? -CHRIS: Uri, wait up. I can't see him. Can you guys see him? Oh, God. -(GUNSHOTS) -(ALL SHRIEK) -Chris! Chris, Chris! -AMANDA: Paul, Paul! -No, no, no! -Oh, my God, Chris, no! ZOE: Can you see anything? (NATALIE BREATHES RAPIDLY) Can you guys see anything? AMANDA: Oh, my God. -NATALIE: Can you see them? -AMANDA: No, I can't see. Chris! ZOE: Michael, can you see? (NATALIE WHIMPERS) Chris... -Open the fucking door! -(ALL SHRIEK) Open the door! Get him in, get him in! -Get him in! -(NATALIE SCREAMS) Close the door! (CHRIS CRIES OUT) Oh, my God, Chris! Oh, my God! MICHAEL: OK, look at me. Breathe, buddy. -ZOE: There's a bear here! -First aid kit. -AMANDA: I got it. -Oh, fuck! -PAUL: Chris, what happened? -I don't fucking know! -There were a lot of them. -Where's Uri? Where's Uri? -Where's Uri? -(NATALIE SOBS) Chris, what happened? They got him! They fucking got him! -What fucking got him? -What got Uri? -Chris, breathe, baby. -MICHAEL: OK, hold him. -Hold him. -(ALL TALK AT ONCE) -Where's the first aid kit? -MICHAEL: I don't know. Check under here, check under here. (CHRIS GROANS) (ALL SCREAM AND SHOUT) Holy fuck! Stay away from the windows! -(VICIOUS BARKING) -(ALL SHOUT) (MICHAEL SHOUTS) -Fuck off! -Stay away from the window! Stay away from the fucking windows! Stay away from the windows. (BARKING STOPS) Chris! Chris, look at me, buddy. -Look at me, buddy. -It's OK, baby. MICHAEL: It's gonna be alright, brother. Look, OK? Stay with me, alright? CHRIS: Get me the fuck out of here! -I'm gonna get you home. -(CHRIS GROANS) I'm gonna get you out of here. Chris, look at me. I'm gonna get you out. What the fuck is with the lights? Just relax. The battery's dying. The fucking car battery's dying. PAUL: What the fuck is going on? (SINISTER MUSIC) MICHAEL: You've gotta tie it tight. NATALIE: I know. Could somebody hold the light? -MICHAEL: Here. Go, go, go. -(CHRIS CRIES OUT) NATALIE: Breathe, baby, breathe. MICHAEL: Fuck, sorry, man. Just breathe, mate. -PAUL: I got it. -MICHAEL: Here, hold that. -(CHRIS GROANS) -NATALIE: God, I'm so sorry. MICHAEL: Just try not to look at it, mate. PAUL: Breathe. -(CHRIS CRIES OUT) -MICHAEL: No, no, no, no. It's gotta be tight. I'm sorry, brother. -NATALIE: I'm so sorry, baby. -MICHAEL: You're good. -(BANG!) -(ALL SCREAM) -Oh, my God! -MICHAEL: What the fuck?! Turn out the light, turn out the light! PAUL: Shh, shh. MICHAEL: Oh, fuck. Sorry, Chris. PAUL: Shh! MICHAEL: Take it, take it. Get the fucking thing turned off. Fuck! NATALIE: Just breathe, baby, just breathe, baby, OK? MICHAEL: Come here, Zoe. We'll be alright. (NATALIE CRIES) MICHAEL: Just breathe, mate. You're doing good. -(CHRIS BREATHES HEAVILY) -MICHAEL: We'll get you out. CHRIS: I'm freezing. PAUL: Shh. Shh. -(CHRIS SHOUTS) Ow! Fuck! -I know. OK. -PAUL: How are you feeling? -He needs a doctor. I know he needs a doctor. How are you doing? I just want to get the fuck out of here. MICHAEL: I can't fix it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but the leads are rooted. I mean, if we could get some new leads, we could roll-start it. But... (SIGHS) I didn't fucking see this before. Try it. Uri, this is Paul. Can you hear me? -Is that the other walkie? -Yeah. (STATIC BUZZES) Uri, are you there? Can you hear me? (WHISPERS) Come on. Alright, I'm gonna go look for him. You don't know your way around. -But he does. He can help us. -What if the dogs come back? Uri said they come out at night. Stay in the van and keep the door shut. -MICHAEL: I'll go with you. -No, you will not. Uri's a big fella. It might take two of us to carry him. Yeah, what if he's dead? (MICHAEL SIGHS) Just don't say that, OK? Uri knows how to get out of here. We might find new leads. You saw what attacked the car. He said there's other things out here. -Come on. Just stay here. -Please. -Just stay here. -Please. -Stay here. -I'm gonna come too. I'm gonna help these guys, OK? PAUL: Alright, let's go. -OK? -Just stay in the car. Keep the door shut. I'm coming back for you. AMANDA: You'll be good. You'll be right, mate. We'll be back. -We'll be back. -Please, this is stupid. No. -Stay with them. -Why would you do that? I'll be back. How well you know Uri? Not well. You? Same same. Think he's still here? It's been overnight. He could be gone. Yeah, I know. What are you thinking? I think Chris got attacked by dogs. Dogs didn't do that. Maybe a bear. We saw a bear run by in the apartment yesterday. He said there was something else. -Yeah, a bear. -What was he talking about? He said there was a lot of dogs. It was dark... Try the walkie-talkie, will you? Hey, Uri, are you there? It's Paul. (STATIC BUZZES) -Let's go over here. -Uri, can you hear me? Just stay close and keep your eyes open, alright? I didn't believe him when he said animals don't come out during the day. Yeah. I don't know what to believe. This is where he went off last night, right? Yeah. Let's figure out how we get back to the van. Good idea, mate. Check your walkie-talkie again. Hey, Uri, this is Paul. Can you hear me, buddy? -(STATIC BUZZES) -Whoa.
