Wanna go soft
on the python, mate.
Well, I wouldn't go making too
many jokes
about snakes around here, mate.

-MAYA: Hey.
-JASMINE: Hey!
RITCHIE:
Oh, you could have made
an effort, Jazz.
Is that the only menu
they gave you?
Sorry, we have three more menus,
please?
(CUTLERY CLICKING)
So, apparently, right, they do
this kayak tour down the river,
it's meant to be amazing.
You get to see the real jungle.
So, I don't know.
Maybe we can do that tomorrow
while the girls go shopping.
AJ:
Yeah, sure.
What makes you think we'd rather
go shopping than kayaking?
Because you insisted that
there be a walk-in wardrobe
in every single room
in the new house,
not just the bedrooms either,
I mean the kitchen has one.
I'm serious.
Are you listening to these two?
They're saying a couple of girls
can't go on this boat trip
with them.
Well, I mean there's gonna
be snakes.
Probably crocodiles
You jump on the sofa when you
see a spider.
Maya, are we just gonna sit
and take this?
-I'll go.
-That's settles that then.
That settles that then.
Brilliant, thank you very much.
Right, so, actually I wanted
to say a little something.
So, there we go.
Alright, I don't wanna
make a big thing about it.
But um, first of all, thank you
both so much for coming.
Um, we're both so glad
that you're here with us
on this trip.
You're our best friends
in the whole world
and there's no one that
we'd rather spend this time with
than you guys.
Second thing is we're actually
having a bit of a celebration,
because today finally--
(JASMINE & MAYA CHUCKLING)
Finally, I've sold the company.
-The money's in the bank.
-MAYA: Oh, wow.
No way.
RITCHIE:
So, to celebrate,
got a little bit of a gift
for you guys.
This trip, everything,
we're picking up the tab.
Okay, it's all covered.
MAYA:
Wow, Ritchie.
That's so generous of you.
Thank you.
Isn't it, AJ?
AJ?
Say, uh, a toast then
to best friends.
-MAYA: Cheers.
-Best bros.
(CHUCKLES)
()
He's paying for our vacation.
Does he think we can't
afford it?
He's been your best friend
since school
and he's just sold his company
for a lot of money.
He just wants to share it
with you.
Share it?
He started that company
in our dorm room.
Maybe he should have asked me
to be a part of it then,
instead of keeping it
to himself.
That way I wouldn't have to rely
on your dad for a job,
would I?
-Babe.
-No, come on.
Everybody at the office knows
I got the job just
because I married
the boss' daughter.
I bet these walls
are paper thin.
Should we try
and make more noise then?
(PHONE RINGING)
AJ:
Ah, signal.
Oh, it's work.
Hey Felix, how you doing?
Yeah, we're like in
the middle of nowhere.
Say hi to daddy for me.
Really?
Yeah, sorry, um,
yeah madness.
There's just no coverage
anywhere.

NICK:
Morning, morning.
I'm Nick.
I'm gonna be your
river guide for this trip.
Any of you been on a kayak
before?
AJ:
Nope.
-No.
-No.
NICK:
Not a problem.
You are all gonna need
life jackets.
There you go.
MAYA:
Thank you.
-There we go.
-JASMINE: Thank you.
That's for you,
and yeah, that's for you.
There you go.
-Pink?
-Yeah, it's your size.
-I think I'll give it a miss.
-Well, no jacket, no kayak.
Right,
you're all gonna need wet shoes.
I should have your sizes.
Don't worry,
it goes with your eyes.
Hey, by the way, um, this trip
cost a little bit extra,
but uh, got you, okay.
NICK:
Oh.
RITCHIE:
Alright.
NICK:
Yeah, that's it.
Alright, and your partner?
Oh, right.
Beg your pardon.
-RITCHIE: Thanks.
-NICK: Right, okay.
So, you two free.
()
Are there crocodiles in here?
The idea is to stay
in the kayak.
That wasn't really a yes
or a no, was it?
Maybe this
isn't such a good idea.
AJ:
Don't worry, you'll be fine.
-JASMINE: Wooh.
-AJ: Oh.
JASMINE:
Oh my God.
Ritchie!
RITCHIE:
Get off, get off!
JASMINE:
Stop it!
NICK:
Okay, just stay nearby.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
AJ:
Hey, he gets his own boat?
NICK:
It's called a "kayak".
Nice and slowly.
You've gotta stay
in perfect rhythm, okay?
-AJ: Wow.
-NICK: Perfect rhythm, Okay.
NICK:
Try to make a right angle
with your elbows.
That is roughly
where your hands should be.
A right angle there.
That's it.
(CHUCKLING)
You're a natural,
that's fantastic.
AJ:
Quit showing off.
NICK:
Okay, good. Good, good.
Sit down!
NICK:
That's it, you're a natural.
Whoa.
NICK:
You gotta stay in rhythm.
RITCHIE:
Okay.
NICK:
That's it, opposite side.
Ding-a-ding, ding, ding,
ding, ding.
Whee!
NICK:
Who's feeling adventurous?
We could stay out overnight,
make this a two-day trip.
-JASMINE: In the jungle?
-NICK: Yeah.
We'd need some more equipment,
they'd need to meet us further
downriver with the jeep, but...
Uh, yeah, sure, Let's do it.
NICK:
At least, we know
who's in charge here.
Yep.
Right.
There's a bit of white water
where we're going.
It can get a bit bumpy,
so you might want to put
your phones and valuables
in here.
Yeah, sure.
NICK:
It's waterproof, floats
if it falls out of the kayak.
We like to think it's part
of the experience, you know,
letting go of technology
for a couple of days.
I'm good.
RITCHIE:
Come on, mate. Wall Street's
not gonna fall over just
'cause you're off your phone
for two days.
Who's gonna miss you?
There's no signal where
we're going anyway.
Okay, thanks.
AJ, it's two days.
Okay. Alright.
Must be some pretty
incriminating stuff
on that phone, mate.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Oh, I'm excited.
()
Look through there.
(CHUCKLE)
Well, the legend is that
this river was created
from the tears of a goddess
who wept
when she saw
the unspoilt beauty.
You're so lucky
to be out here every day.
It's so peaceful.
Oh, well, it's peaceful now,
but wait till we camp out
tonight.
Jungle's a different place
at night.
How long have you
been out here for?
NICK:
I've been coming
here all my life.
My dad was a tour guide
for 40 years,
and his granddad,
my great-granddad,
was one of the first outsiders
to come here.
But unfortunately, he, um...
He what?
Well, he, um...
He disappeared.
-Disappeared?
-NICK: Yeah.
He discovered a tribe out here,
and one day he just...
He didn't come back.
No one did.
If he didn't come back,
how do they know
there's a tribe out there?
Well, eventually they found
some of his belongings,
and they also found
human feces
with traces of human bone
inside it.
Bullshit!
No, come on, be fair.
Human shit.
(CHUCKLES)
So, you're saying this tribe
are cannibals?
Yeah, but it's fine we're not
going near where they live.
Oh, what a relief.
(CHUCKLES)
Wait, you're saying
they're still here?
Yeah, well,
they were here first.
This is their home.
Look, left alone,
they're no danger to anyone.
For the past hundred years
or so,
the outsiders have been trying
to take their land,
steal their precious minerals,
and log their trees.
Deforestation has pushed them
further and further
into the jungle.
They've got less
and less animals to feed on,
so, yeah, you know,
they're getting desperate.
Hungry.
But their area is protected now.
It's off limit.
()
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
NICK:
That's it.
You'll be fine.
That's it.
Good stuff, good stuff.
I really, really need to pee.
NICK:
Alright, okay.
You guys good?
(RETCHES, COUGHS)
Seriously, AJ?
(PEEING)
Told you to go easy
on that water.
(PANTS)
()
RITCHIE:
Apparently, you can be seasick
on a river.
You alright?
You ready to go back?
Hm.
()
(BIKES WHIRRING)
()
DANNY:
Woo!
Let's do this.
Yeah, baby, coming at you live
from the jungle.
Hi, mom!
DANNY:
Hey, this is the channel
that takes you places.
Ooh.
Others don't dare.
You see that crap?
Maybe they got some
protected flowers.
Boo-hoo, poor little flowers.
Screw that.
We're going in.
Stay tuned, folks.
How many views have we got?
Oh.
30,000 viewers.
Cool.
Should we tear it up?
Yeah.
DANNY:
You're right.
(BIKES WHIRRING)
(SCREAMS)
(GROANING)
(GRUNTS)
Danny?
(GRUNTS)
Danny?
Danny, what are you doing?
Danny?
(SCREAMS)
(PANTING)
RITCHIE:
Hey, Jasmine.
I reckon after this trip,
next holiday,
we charter a yacht,
go to the Caribbean.
I think it's gonna be
a bit more clear there, right?
-RITCHIE: Oi!
-Oh, I'm sorry, bro.
-My bad.
-JASMINE: AJ, please.
RITCHIE:
I know you brought your mom
with you.
(SCREAMING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
It's just...
a baby python
couldn't hurt you, okay?
Couldn't hurt you, alright.
Could have told us
that bit sooner.
AJ:
You were too busy screaming like
a little girl. (CHUCKLES)
RITCHIE:
You're an idiot!
Yeah, but I'm a dry idiot.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, you're dry.
But not for long.
No, Ritchie.
MAYA:
No, no, no, Ritchie.
No, no, no!
(SCREAMS)
-Fuck!
-JASMINE: Ritchie!
RITCHIE:
Who's dry now, huh?
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, shit, my phone.
-Freaking phone.
-That's it, come on, come on.
Come on. I got you, I got you.
JASMINE:
Thank you.
(PANTS)
()
AJ:
It's over that way.
MAYA:
He dives into the water full
of God knows what
and you're worried
about your phone?
Hey!
It's waterlogged.
Yeah, what's on that phone, man?
()
(PANTING)
(PANTING)
Fuck!
()
Come on, come on, come on,
come on.
()
If-- if anybody sees this, if--
they killed Danny.
I don't know who they are,
but...
(GASPS, SCREAMS)
BIKER:
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
(BIKER SCREAMS)
()
-NICK: That's it, you alright?
-JASMINE: Think so.
NICK:
Yeah, just hop up.
We're heading that way.
You need to put it
in a bowl of rice.
Oh, yeah.
I'll just pop to the shops
and get some, shall I?
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
AJ:
How does he expect us
to do this?
Nobody in the history
of the world
ever showed up in the jungle
and was able to--
Did it.
(INSECTS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
Thank you, Nick.
It's good to have
a man who can.
RITCHIE:
Thank you, Nick.
Maybe next you could
use your massive penis
to chop down a tree
for firewood
to keep us warm at night.
(WEIRD ANIMAL SCREAM IN
DISTANEC)
What was that?
No idea.
-You're kidding, right?
-I've got no idea.
I'm from Romford.
I don't know what that was.
No one knows half
the stuff that's out here.
That's why they call it
"the jungle".
Most women love that line.
Yeah, well, I'm not most women.
Are you married?
(SCOFFS)
Who'd want to be with someone
who just keeps disappearing off
into the jungle?
Maybe someone who'd
want to go with you.
()
Do you ever get lonely?
So, how'd you meet, you two?
You and AJ?
Well, he needed a job
and my father was hiring.
And that's all you're
gonna tell me?
-Yeah.
-Okay. (CHUCKLES)
So, Romford?
NICK:
Mm-hmm.
What's an Essex boy doing
all the way out here?
Told you earlier about
my great-grandfather.
Well, there he is.
George Robinson.
Pretty famous back in his day.
Growing up, I was
obsessed with him.
I used to stare at his pictures.
Just wanted to be like him,
you know?
Then I got a bit older,
came out here a lot more,
and turns out he came out here
for the diamonds,
and sapphires,
and whatever
he could get hold of.
So, your great-grandfather,
he went missing, right?
Do you really think they...
Well, something happened to him.
And there are other stories.
There's a guy who was working
for a logging company.
They were clearing forests, got
too near
where the tribe was.
You seen the way spiders keep
live flies in the web sometimes?
The way that a cat plays
with a mouse.
Sometimes the killer whales,
they'll take a little nip
out of the sea.
Ages before they can slow
them down.
(GRUNT)
(SHOUTS)
All you have to remember is
there's no electricity
where the tribe is, okay?
They've got no refrigerators
to keep the meat fresh.
So they keep their prey alive
and close at hand
till they need it.
Well, why don't they just tie
them to a tree
or lock them in a cage
or something?
So, that they can slow them
down enough,
so that they can train
their young to--
Anyway, this logger, he finally
made it back to the river.
LOGGER 2:
Help me!
Somebody, help me!
His heels had been cut
all the way through,
and he was screaming
about being chased by children.
Flesh-eating children.
-AJ: What's going on?
-(GASPS) You scared me.
Ah, telling ghost stories
again, is he?
All part of the immersive
experience,
sit around the campfire
trying to scare
the shit out of tourists?
(CHUCKLES)
You coming to bed?
Yeah.
Night.
Night.
()
(MAYA CHUCKLING)
-MAYA: You alright, babe?
-JASMINE: AJ?
AJ:
I'm fine.
Uh.
Oh.
Night, babe.
Night, night, darling.
Goodnight, Jazz.
Night, AJ.
-Night, Maya.
-Night, Jazz.
JASMINE:
Night, Ritch.
Night, Ritch.
Night, Jim Bob.
Night, John Boy.
Night, Mary Ellen.
Night, cannibals.
Goodnight.
(INSECTS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
()
(SCREAMS)
Give us a kiss.
(CHUCKLES)
AJ.
You scared me.
AJ:
I need you.
Not here.
Why not?
Because your wife
is about 20 feet away.
Well, what am I gonna
do about this?
I've been walking
around with it all day.
Nearly took somebody's eye out.
AJ.
I thought the whole point
of this trip was to tell them.
AJ?
What is it?
What's wrong?
Maybe we should
wait a little bit longer.
Wait?
I can't go on like this, AJ.
Meeting in hotels,
sneaking around thinking
Ritchie might find out.
Well, that's just the thing,
okay?
Ritchie and I, we go way back.
Look, I knew him long before
you even met him.
And he's still my best mate.
The best friend whose wife
you've been sleeping with.
Things have just got a bit out
of hand, haven't they, Jazz?
A bit out of hand?
Look, all I'm saying is this is
not a good time at the company
for me right now, okay?
Maya's dad's planning
on leaving,
which means somebody is gonna
have to step into his shoes.
This could be good
for both of us.
But you're leaving the company.
How can you leave her
and expect to stay
working for her father?
Oh my God.
You're not leaving her, are you?
You're never gonna leave her.
'Cause being somebody
means more to you
than being with me.
Jazz, listen to me.
Don't.
What have I been
doing all this time, AJ?
Well, can't we just keep things
the way they are for now
-and then--
-The way they are?
You want me to get back
in a boat
and pretend like none
of this happened?
Kayaks.
They're called, "kayaks".
AJ!
(GRUNTS)
AJ:
Jazz, where are you going?
We're in the middle
of the jungle.
You don't know what's in there.
It can't be any worse
than what's out here.
()
()
AJ:
Oh!
Why does my back feel
like concrete?
Maybe it's because I slept
between two fricking trees!
(GRUNTS)
JASMINE:
Have you seen Ritchie?
MAYA:
What?
He's gone.
What do you mean gone?
JASMINE:
Gone as in not here anymore, AJ.
NICK:
No, he's taken my kayak.
-MAYA: What?
-NICK: What happened last night?
Something must have happened
for him
to do something so stupid.
Oi, wind your neck in.
That's my best mate
you're talking about.
Ritchie!
You're the hired hand who's
supposed to show us the sites.
Fair enough, fair enough.
Maybe one of you guys can call
ahead to the jeep,
tell 'em we're gonna
be late for the rendezvous,
so we don't get stranded
out here all night.
Oh no, we can't do that, can we?
Because your phones are
in the dry bag on my kayak
with your best mate.
Maybe we could use your phone.
Shit, no, we can't do
that either, can we?
'Cause you dropped it
in the river
and it's not working anymore,
is that right?
You left the phones
in the kayak?
I wasn't expecting
someone to take off in it.
Please, can we just find
Ritchie?
Could be hours away.
AJ:
Well, there's only one river.
Right, let's pack up, quick.
How did someone like you
end up with someone like him?
He's just worried about Ritchie.
Being married isn't
always perfect, you know.
When was the last time it was
perfect, do you remember that?
Come on, let's get moving.
()
NICK:
Shit, no way.
We're too late.
What do you mean too late?
Before yesterday, he'd never
even been in the river, right?
He'd never even been
in a kayak.
Not go that way.
So which way would you go?
He'll go that way.
-Can't go that way.
-Why not?
It's ancient land.
-It's protected.
-Who gives a shit?
We go to the jeep and tell them
he's missing, they'll have a--
To hell with the jeep.
We're not leaving
Ritchie out here.
No, we go the way we planned.
It's them, isn't it?
The people you
were talking about.
What people?
Not this crap about a bunch
of psychos
living in the jungle again.
Who are they?
They're people you
don't want to know, okay?
They don't believe in good
and evil.
To them, we're just outsiders,
and if they're in need,
we're just food, you understand?
Do you really want to be
the guy that left a bunch
of tourists out here?
NICK:
We don't go in there,
they don't come out here.
That is the way
it's always been, ever since--
Since granddaddy was slowly
roasted over the campfire.
Let me ask you something.
Have you ever seen them?
No.
Do you know why?
Because they don't exist.
-You do what you want to do.
-No!
I'll smash a hole in that thing
before I let you leave us
out here.
We're going that way
to find our friend,
and we're taking the boats.
Excuse me,
the kay-fucking-yaks.
So you either come with us
or you swim the rest of the way.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
We can't leave Ritchie.
We find your friend,
then we get out of there?
Yeah.
()
MAYA:
Look!
Where is he?
Where is he?
NICK:
Dry bag's gone.
The phones, they're not here.
JASMINE:
Ritchie!
Ritchie!
MAYA:
His life jacket.
NICK:
I'll stay, alright?
We lose the kayaks,
we'll never get out of here.
Are you scared, Rambo?
Yep.
I'll give you an hour.
You can stay the night
if you want,
but if you're not back
in an hour, I'm gone.
MAYA:
We'll be back.
Come on.
Ritchie!
(EXHALES)
Ritchie?
Ritchie?
Listen.
MAYA:
Ritchie?
That way.
()
Guys!
I'm over here!
Hey!
()
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
()
MAYA:
So your great-grandfather
went missing, right?
Do you really think they...
(GRUNTS)
()
(PANTING)
(SCREAMS)
JASMINE:
Ritchie?
Is that you?
MAYA:
Ritchie?
What's that?
God, it's creepy in here.
()
(SCREAMS)
(GASP)
-MAYA: Oh my God!
-Oh, you bastard.
-JASMINE: What are you doing?
-Your face.
Ooh, hello.
Why did you leave the camp?
Ah, I couldn't sleep.
My stomach was doing
somersaults all night.
I don't know, maybe I drank
too much of that river water
earlier.
Anyway, I know it was stupid,
but I was tired.
I got in the kayak,
thought I'd power on ahead,
I was trying to find the jeeps
to get us out of here earlier.
To be honest,
I was so glad
when I saw you guys come
in this cave.
Is it just me, by the way,
or is Action Man getting
on everyone's nerves?
Well, maybe you should
have listened to him.
AJ:
You took the wrong
river, apparently.
And this part of the jungle?
Full of zombies.
Zombies?
That's what
he's been telling you?
What a knob.
AJ:
He's been telling stories long
enough about this place,
I think he's actually begun
to believe 'em.
MAYA:
Guys, we should be going.
JASMINE:
We need the phones.
You took the wrong turn
in the river,
and we've got to call the jeep
to tell 'em where we are.
No, no, I haven't
got the phones.
JASMINE:
Well, they weren't there.
We thought you had them.
RITCHIE:
No, no, I haven't seen them.
Maybe they're still
in the kayak.
AJ:
I bet Rambo left
them back at the camp.
He's been telling the girls
all kinds of shit,
trying to scare 'em.
Oh yeah, you weren't
scared though, right?
With these guns?
-(CHUCKLES)
-Come on, guys, we've got to go.
-RITCHIE: You alright?
-JASMINE: Yeah.
()
The kayaks.
-Over here.
-AJ: Oh, forget it.
AJ:
So we're good, yeah?
Yeah, we're good.
Then why did you try
and leave us?
I mean, that's what you
were trying to do, right?
Find the jeep?
RITCHIE:
You know, for a guy
who acts all cool,
you're pretty paranoid,
you know.
AJ:
What's that supposed to mean?
Alright, look.
I worked hard at everything
I've got.
While you were busy
chatting up girls.
Yeah. AJ, the stud.
Meanwhile, mate, I was grafting
my nuts off building something.
You had a good idea,
it was good timing, that's all.
Right, yeah, right place,
right time, yeah?
Sheer dumb luck.
Let me ask you something, man.
My success, the business,
does it--
Does it piss you off?
-Couldn't give a shit.
-RITCHIE: Hmm.
Oh, I see.
You want me to sound
proud of you or something.
Is that it, huh? Yeah?
Just never was enough
for you, was it, Aaron?
Don't call me that.
RITCHIE:
Just look at her, man.
Look at Maya.
Look how beautiful she is.
You married into a family who
gave you a job on the board.
No working your way up
from the mailroom, no--
no learning the ropes
like the rest of us had to do.
No.
But still, that,
that wasn't enough for you.
Even someone like her
wasn't enough for you.
Your phone's working.
It's dried out.
You should really
lock that thing.
()
()
AJ:
Son of a bitch. He's gone.
JASMINE:
He's taken the food and water.
Everything.
AJ:
He didn't take everything.

Hey, I, uh, forgot to thank

I've loved it.

uh,
found the guy's head
in the pot.
And uh, the part where
you pissed off
and left us in the camp
in the middle of the night.
RITCHIE:
Oh, yeah.
Want to talk about why
I pissed off in the camp
in the middle of the night?
-Fuck you.
-Yeah, fuck you.

AJ, the knife.
What are we doing?
They're gonna kill us.
No, they won't.
What makes you so sure?
Nick.
Something he...
RITCHIE:
Alright.
What did action man tell you
that you're not sharing
with the rest of us?
They keep us alive
until they're hungry.
Nick said they wound their prey.
Leave them wandering
around for days.
Even weeks.
Before...
So, they're playing with us.
Keeping us alive until
they fancy a fucking snack.
Alright. Okay, well.
We can't keep moving
in this darkness.
We can't see anything.
So, let's rest here a few hours
until first light.
At least, then we'll know
which way east is.
Keep watch.
Two at a time,
keep each other awake.

AJ, you got a better idea?

You've seen the state of me

Pregnant?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Finally.
We've been trying
for three years.
It's just a shame
I'm not the father.
I, um... (CLEARS THROAT)
I did some tests.
Jazz doesn't know.
Guess, some guys just
aren't meant to be dads.
I'll stand by her.

please?
(CUTLERY CLICKING)
So, apparently, right, they do
this kayak tour down the river,
it's meant to be amazing.
You get to see the real jungle.
So, I don't know.
Maybe we can do that tomorrow
while the girls go shopping.
AJ:
Yeah, sure.
What makes you think we'd rather
go shopping than kayaking?
Because you insisted that
there be a walk-in wardrobe
in every single room
in the new house,
not just the bedrooms either,
I mean the kitchen has one.
I'm serious.
Are you listening to these two?
They're saying a couple of girls
can't go on this boat trip
with them.
Well, I mean there's gonna
be snakes.
Probably crocodiles
You jump on the sofa when you
see a spider.
Maya, are we just gonna sit
and take this?
-I'll go.
-That's settles that then.
That settles that then.
Brilliant, thank you very much.
Right, so, actually I wanted
to say a little something.
So, there we go.
Alright, I don't wanna
make a big thing about it.
But um, first of all, thank you
both so much for coming.
Um, we're both so glad
that you're here with us
on this trip.
You're our best friends
in the whole world
and there's no one that
we'd rather spend this time with

Second thing is we're actually
having a bit of a celebration,
because today finally--
(JASMINE & MAYA CHUCKLING)

-The money's in the bank.
-MAYA: Oh, wow.
No way.

So, to celebrate,
got a little bit of a gift
for you guys.
This trip, everything,
we're picking up the tab.
Okay, it's all covered.
MAYA:
Wow, Ritchie.
That's so generous of you.
Thank you.
Isn't it, AJ?
AJ?
Say, uh, a toast then
to best friends.
-MAYA: Cheers.
-Best bros.

He's paying for our vacation.
Does he think we can't
afford it?
He's been your best friend
since school
and he's just sold his company
for a lot of money.
He just wants to share it
with you.
Share it?
He started that company
in our dorm room.
Maybe he should have asked me
to be a part of it then,
instead of keeping it
to himself.
That way I wouldn't have to rely
on your dad for a job,
would I?
-Babe.
-No, come on.
Everybody at the office knows
I got the job just
because I married
the boss' daughter.
I bet these walls
are paper thin.
Should we try
and make more noise then?

Ah, signal.
Oh, it's work.
Hey Felix, how you doing?

you're all gonna need wet shoes.
I should have your sizes.

Hey, by the way, um, this trip
cost a little bit extra,
but uh, got you, okay.

Oh.

Alright, and your partner?
Oh, right.
Beg your pardon.

Are there crocodiles in here?
The idea is to stay
in the kayak.

isn't such a good idea.

NICK:
It's called a "kayak".
Nice and slowly.
You've gotta stay
in perfect rhythm, okay?
-AJ: Wow.
-NICK: Perfect rhythm, Okay.
NICK:
Try to make a right angle
with your elbows.
That is roughly
where your hands should be.

NICK:
Who's feeling adventurous?
We could stay out overnight,
make this a two-day trip.
-JASMINE: In the jungle?
-NICK: Yeah.
We'd need some more equipment,
they'd need to meet us further
downriver with the jeep, but...
Uh, yeah, sure, Let's do it.
NICK:
At least, we know
who's in charge here.
Yep.
Right.
There's a bit of white water
where we're going.
It can get a bit bumpy,
so you might want to put
your phones and valuables
in here.
Yeah, sure.
NICK:
It's waterproof, floats
if it falls out of the kayak.
We like to think it's part
of the experience, you know,
letting go of technology
for a couple of days.
I'm good.
RITCHIE:
Come on, mate. Wall Street's
not gonna fall over just
'cause you're off your phone
for two days.
Who's gonna miss you?
There's no signal where
we're going anyway.
Okay, thanks.
AJ, it's two days.
Okay. Alright.
Must be some pretty
incriminating stuff
on that phone, mate.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Oh, I'm excited.
()
Look through there.
(CHUCKLE)
Well, the legend is that
this river was created
from the tears of a goddess
who wept
when she saw
the unspoilt beauty.
You're so lucky
to be out here every day.
It's so peaceful.
Oh, well, it's peaceful now,
but wait till we camp out
tonight.
Jungle's a different place
at night.
How long have you
been out here for?
NICK:
I've been coming
here all my life.
My dad was a tour guide
for 40 years,
and his granddad,
my great-granddad,
was one of the first outsiders
to come here.
But unfortunately, he, um...
He what?
Well, he, um...
He disappeared.
-Disappeared?
-NICK: Yeah.
He discovered a tribe out here,
and one day he just...
He didn't come back.
No one did.
If he didn't come back,
how do they know
there's a tribe out there?
Well, eventually they found
some of his belongings,
and they also found
human feces
with traces of human bone
inside it.
Bullshit!
No, come on, be fair.
Human shit.
(CHUCKLES)
So, you're saying this tribe
are cannibals?
Yeah, but it's fine we're not
going near where they live.
Oh, what a relief.
(CHUCKLES)
Wait, you're saying
they're still here?
Yeah, well,
they were here first.
This is their home.
Look, left alone,
they're no danger to anyone.
For the past hundred years
or so,
the outsiders have been trying
to take their land,
steal their precious minerals,
and log their trees.
Deforestation has pushed them
further and further
into the jungle.
They've got less
and less animals to feed on,
so, yeah, you know,
they're getting desperate.
Hungry.
But their area is protected now.
It's off limit.

What was that?
No idea.
-You're kidding, right?
-I've got no idea.
I'm from Romford.
I don't know what that was.
No one knows half
the stuff that's out here.
That's why they call it
"the jungle".

Yeah, well, I'm not most women.

Well, he needed a job
and my father was hiring.
And that's all you're
gonna tell me?
-Yeah.
-Okay. (CHUCKLES)
So, Romford?
NICK:
Mm-hmm.
What's an Essex boy doing
all the way out here?
Told you earlier about
my great-grandfather.
Well, there he is.
George Robinson.
Pretty famous back in his day.
Growing up, I was
obsessed with him.
I used to stare at his pictures.
Just wanted to be like him,
you know?
Then I got a bit older,
came out here a lot more,
and turns out he came out here
for the diamonds,
and sapphires,
and whatever
he could get hold of.
So, your great-grandfather,
he went missing, right?
Do you really think they...
Well, something happened to him.
And there are other stories.
There's a guy who was working
for a logging company.
They were clearing forests, got
too near
where the tribe was.
You seen the way spiders keep
live flies in the web sometimes?
The way that a cat plays
with a mouse.
Sometimes the killer whales,
they'll take a little nip
out of the sea.
Ages before they can slow
them down.
(GRUNT)
(SHOUTS)
All you have to remember is
there's no electricity
where the tribe is, okay?
They've got no refrigerators
to keep the meat fresh.
So they keep their prey alive
and close at hand
till they need it.
Well, why don't they just tie
them to a tree
or lock them in a cage
or something?
So, that they can slow them
down enough,
so that they can train
their young to--
Anyway, this logger, he finally
made it back to the river.
LOGGER 2:
Help me!
Somebody, help me!
His heels had been cut
all the way through,
and he was screaming
about being chased by children.
Flesh-eating children.
-AJ: What's going on?
-(GASPS) You scared me.
Ah, telling ghost stories
again, is he?
All part of the immersive
experience,
sit around the campfire
trying to scare
the shit out of tourists?
(CHUCKLES)
You coming to bed?
Yeah.
Night.
Night.

(SCREAMS)
Give us a kiss.
(CHUCKLES)
AJ.
You scared me.
AJ:
I need you.
Not here.
Why not?
Because your wife
is about 20 feet away.
Well, what am I gonna
do about this?
I've been walking
around with it all day.
Nearly took somebody's eye out.
AJ.
I thought the whole point
of this trip was to tell them.
AJ?
What is it?
What's wrong?
Maybe we should
wait a little bit longer.
Wait?
I can't go on like this, AJ.
Meeting in hotels,
sneaking around thinking
Ritchie might find out.
Well, that's just the thing,
okay?
Ritchie and I, we go way back.
Look, I knew him long before
you even met him.
And he's still my best mate.
The best friend whose wife
you've been sleeping with.
Things have just got a bit out
of hand, haven't they, Jazz?
A bit out of hand?
Look, all I'm saying is this is
not a good time at the company
for me right now, okay?
Maya's dad's planning
on leaving,
which means somebody is gonna
have to step into his shoes.
This could be good
for both of us.
But you're leaving the company.
How can you leave her
and expect to stay
working for her father?
Oh my God.
You're not leaving her, are you?
You're never gonna leave her.
'Cause being somebody
means more to you
than being with me.
Jazz, listen to me.
Don't.
What have I been
doing all this time, AJ?
Well, can't we just keep things
the way they are for now
-and then--
-The way they are?
You want me to get back
in a boat
and pretend like none
of this happened?
Kayaks.
They're called, "kayaks".
AJ!
(GRUNTS)
AJ:
Jazz, where are you going?
We're in the middle
of the jungle.
You don't know what's in there.
It can't be any worse
than what's out here.
()
()
AJ:
Oh!
Why does my back feel
like concrete?
Maybe it's because I slept
between two fricking trees!
(GRUNTS)
JASMINE:
Have you seen Ritchie?
MAYA:
What?
He's gone.
What do you mean gone?
JASMINE:
Gone as in not here anymore, AJ.
NICK:
No, he's taken my kayak.
-MAYA: What?
-NICK: What happened last night?
Something must have happened
for him
to do something so stupid.
Oi, wind your neck in.
That's my best mate
you're talking about.
Ritchie!
You're the hired hand who's
supposed to show us the sites.
Fair enough, fair enough.
Maybe one of you guys can call
ahead to the jeep,
tell 'em we're gonna
be late for the rendezvous,
so we don't get stranded
out here all night.
Oh no, we can't do that, can we?
Because your phones are
in the dry bag on my kayak
with your best mate.
Maybe we could use your phone.
Shit, no, we can't do
that either, can we?
'Cause you dropped it
in the river
and it's not working anymore,
is that right?
You left the phones
in the kayak?
I wasn't expecting
someone to take off in it.
Please, can we just find
Ritchie?
Could be hours away.
AJ:
Well, there's only one river.
Right, let's pack up, quick.
How did someone like you
end up with someone like him?
He's just worried about Ritchie.
Being married isn't
always perfect, you know.
When was the last time it was
perfect, do you remember that?
Come on, let's get moving.
()
NICK:
Shit, no way.
We're too late.
What do you mean too late?
Before yesterday, he'd never
even been in the river, right?
He'd never even been
in a kayak.
Not go that way.
So which way would you go?
He'll go that way.
-Can't go that way.
-Why not?
It's ancient land.
-It's protected.
-Who gives a shit?
We go to the jeep and tell them
he's missing, they'll have a--
To hell with the jeep.
We're not leaving
Ritchie out here.
No, we go the way we planned.
It's them, isn't it?
The people you
were talking about.
What people?
Not this crap about a bunch
of psychos
living in the jungle again.
Who are they?
They're people you
don't want to know, okay?
They don't believe in good
and evil.
To them, we're just outsiders,
and if they're in need,
we're just food, you understand?
Do you really want to be
the guy that left a bunch
of tourists out here?
NICK:
We don't go in there,
they don't come out here.
That is the way
it's always been, ever since--
Since granddaddy was slowly
roasted over the campfire.
Let me ask you something.
Have you ever seen them?
No.
Do you know why?
Because they don't exist.
-You do what you want to do.
-No!
I'll smash a hole in that thing
before I let you leave us
out here.
We're going that way
to find our friend,
and we're taking the boats.
Excuse me,
the kay-fucking-yaks.
So you either come with us
or you swim the rest of the way.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
We can't leave Ritchie.
We find your friend,
then we get out of there?
Yeah.
()
MAYA:
Look!
Where is he?
Where is he?
NICK:
Dry bag's gone.
The phones, they're not here.
JASMINE:
Ritchie!
Ritchie!
MAYA:
His life jacket.
NICK:
I'll stay, alright?
We lose the kayaks,
we'll never get out of here.
Are you scared, Rambo?
Yep.
I'll give you an hour.
You can stay the night
if you want,
but if you're not back
in an hour, I'm gone.
MAYA:
We'll be back.
Come on.
Ritchie!
(EXHALES)
Ritchie?
Ritchie?
Listen.
MAYA:
Ritchie?
That way.

I'm over here!

(GASP)
-MAYA: Oh my God!
-Oh, you bastard.
-JASMINE: What are you doing?
-Your face.
Ooh, hello.
Why did you leave the camp?
Ah, I couldn't sleep.
My stomach was doing
somersaults all night.
I don't know, maybe I drank
too much of that river water
earlier.
Anyway, I know it was stupid,
but I was tired.
I got in the kayak,
thought I'd power on ahead,
I was trying to find the jeeps
to get us out of here earlier.
To be honest,
I was so glad
when I saw you guys come
in this cave.
Is it just me, by the way,
or is Action Man getting
on everyone's nerves?
Well, maybe you should
have listened to him.
AJ:
You took the wrong
river, apparently.
And this part of the jungle?
Full of zombies.
Zombies?
That's what
he's been telling you?
What a knob.
AJ:
He's been telling stories long
enough about this place,
I think he's actually begun
to believe 'em.
MAYA:
Guys, we should be going.
JASMINE:
We need the phones.
You took the wrong turn
in the river,
and we've got to call the jeep
to tell 'em where we are.
No, no, I haven't
got the phones.
JASMINE:
Well, they weren't there.
We thought you had them.
RITCHIE:
No, no, I haven't seen them.
Maybe they're still
in the kayak.
AJ:
I bet Rambo left
them back at the camp.
He's been telling the girls
all kinds of shit,
trying to scare 'em.
Oh yeah, you weren't
scared though, right?
With these guns?
-(CHUCKLES)
-Come on, guys, we've got to go.
-RITCHIE: You alright?
-JASMINE: Yeah.
()
The kayaks.
-Over here.
-AJ: Oh, forget it.
AJ:
So we're good, yeah?
Yeah, we're good.
Then why did you try
and leave us?
I mean, that's what you
were trying to do, right?
Find the jeep?
RITCHIE:
You know, for a guy
who acts all cool,
you're pretty paranoid,
you know.
AJ:
What's that supposed to mean?
Alright, look.
I worked hard at everything
I've got.
While you were busy
chatting up girls.
Yeah. AJ, the stud.
Meanwhile, mate, I was grafting
my nuts off building something.
You had a good idea,
it was good timing, that's all.
Right, yeah, right place,
right time, yeah?
Sheer dumb luck.
Let me ask you something, man.
My success, the business,
does it--
Does it piss you off?
-Couldn't give a shit.
-RITCHIE: Hmm.
Oh, I see.
You want me to sound
proud of you or something.
Is that it, huh? Yeah?
Just never was enough
for you, was it, Aaron?
Don't call me that.
RITCHIE:
Just look at her, man.
Look at Maya.
Look how beautiful she is.
You married into a family who
gave you a job on the board.
No working your way up
from the mailroom, no--
no learning the ropes
like the rest of us had to do.
No.
But still, that,
that wasn't enough for you.
Even someone like her
wasn't enough for you.
Your phone's working.
It's dried out.
You should really
lock that thing.

()
AJ:
Son of a bitch. He's gone.
JASMINE:
He's taken the food and water.
Everything.
AJ:
He didn't take everything.
JASMINE:
Well, why would he leave that?
()
Alright, let's get out of here.

Nick's kayak.
RITCHIE:
Nick!
Where are you,
you macho bastard?
MAYA:
What is it?

RITCHIE:
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on, go. Go!
JASMINE:
They're eating him,
aren't they?
If you hadn't taken his kayak,
his head wouldn't have been
in a fucking pot.
This is on you, man.
You really want to talk about
who's fucking fault, this is?
-Yes! Come on, then!
-Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
They know we're here.
Get in the kayak!
-MAYA: Get in!

You're just gonna
sit in it right now?

We can't do the river anymore.
So, what way now?
How the fuck are we supposed
to know where we're going?
We don't even know how
we got here in the first place.
Um, we were travelling southwest
before we took the other river.
It must be this way.
Come on.
RITCHIE:
Fuck.

(LAUGHTER IN DISTANCE)
Stop, stop.
Did you hear that?
I can hear someone.
AJ:
Hey, I, uh, forgot to thank
you for paying for the trip.
I've loved it.
Especially, the part where we,
uh,
found the guy's head
in the pot.
And uh, the part where
you pissed off
and left us in the camp
in the middle of the night.
RITCHIE:
Oh, yeah.
Want to talk about why
I pissed off in the camp
in the middle of the night?
-Fuck you.
-Yeah, fuck you.
Oh, you fucking idiot!
-AJ: Jazz.
-You've done enough!
-Hey, are you okay?
-JASMINE: Leave me alone!
Jazz, let me see.
JASMINE:
I said, leave me alone!

AJ, the knife.
What are we doing?
They're gonna kill us.
No, they won't.
What makes you so sure?
Nick.
Something he...
RITCHIE:
Alright.
What did action man tell you
that you're not sharing
with the rest of us?
They keep us alive
until they're hungry.
Nick said they wound their prey.
Leave them wandering
around for days.
Even weeks.
Before...
So, they're playing with us.
Keeping us alive until
they fancy a fucking snack.
Alright. Okay, well.
We can't keep moving
in this darkness.
We can't see anything.
So, let's rest here a few hours
until first light.
At least, then we'll know
which way east is.
Keep watch.
Two at a time,
keep each other awake.
(SIGHS)
AJ, you got a better idea?
Oh, that's right.
You're not exactly
an ideas guy, are you?
Guess I've got first watch.

I don't see how we can.
You've seen the state of me
and Jasmine's...
Pregnant?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Finally.
We've been trying
for three years.
It's just a shame
I'm not the father.
I, um... (CLEARS THROAT)
I did some tests.
Jazz doesn't know.
Guess, some guys just
aren't meant to be dads.
I'll stand by her.
If that's what she wants.
