Caiman (2025)

[bunniefuu]

(film reel clattering)

(brooding music)

(dog barking)

(birds chirping)

I always thought that hell

was a, a hot fiery pit filled

with demons, and the devil,

and just sh*t like that.

(dog barking)

But in reality, it's cold, it's dark,

and it's very, very lonely.

(dogs barking)

(mic clattering)

(footsteps plodding)

(item thudding)

(dogs barking)

(Cam gasping)

(pensive music)

Oh, my God. (Gasping)

Ana.

Oh, oh, gee, oh, no. (Gasping)

(brooding music)

Ana, Ana, where are you?

Oh, gee. (Gasping)

Ana.

(Cam gasping)

Oh.

Ana, Ana, where are you?

(Cam gasping)

(grass rustling)

(Cam continues gasping)

(dramatic music)

Oh, sh*t, sh*t, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

Ana.

(static hissing)

(brooding music)

[Joseph] Okay.

(hand thudding)

You're good.

(seat belt clanking)

(pensive music)

(keys clanking)

[Diego] Dude, I don't

even think we can park here.

[Joseph] What do you mean?

No, dude, we're gonna be fine.

[Diego] I don't see any signs, bro.

[Joseph] What?

It's Chicago, dude.

We're gonna be, like, f*cking two minutes.

Listen, if you're even worried about it,

why don't we just tell him to come down?

No, bro, because I want

to video Cameron coming down

from his apartment, okay?

I told Cameron that I wanna

document everything, all right?

[Joseph] Oh, f*ck.

Come on. Let's go.

[Joseph] Nah, I think, I

think we'll be fine, dude.

All right, Speed Racer.

Holy sh*t, you know I'm carrying a camera.

Yeah, I know.

(passenger laughs)

We can't miss our flight to Puerto Rico.

(rap music)

Yo, Cameron.

[Joseph] Uh, I'm not gonna do that.

Holy sh*t.

[Diego] It's not unlocked, bro.

- There you go.

- Access granted.

[Joseph] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There we go. Watch your step.

(static hissing)

[Joseph] Okay, no more stairs

all trip.

- Aw, one more flight,

princess.

- No, I mean it, dude.

You'll be carrying this

camera up the next set.

Damn, my boy don't got a mailbox? Jesus.

- Dude, that is a-

- fire hazard.

[Joseph] serious amount

of bills, holy sh*t.

What's with all this?

Dude, seriously?

You're late, man.

- Uh, there was, yeah,

I mean, there was a

accident on Division, like.

[Joseph] Oh, hi, I am Joseph.

- Oh.

- Nice to meet you.

Are, are we rolling already?

Mm-hmm.

[Joseph] Oh, sh*t, man.

He, he told me you were cool with this.

I mean, yeah, I'm cool with it.

But does the camera always

have to be in my face?

Oh, come on, man, you're the star.

Is your car outside?

[Diego] Yeah, it's right out front.

Uh, can you just grab

the big bag for me?

I'll grab the two small ones.

[Diego] Sure.

It's unlocked, right?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

(Cam exhales)

(footsteps plodding)

[Joseph] Dude, what

the f*ck are you doing?

Yeah, I'm the producer, all right?

[Joseph] What, producer

means you get to go

through people's personal sh*t now?

What the f*ck?

- Ah.

Yeah, this is my job,

organization and logistics.

You're camera, so I want

you to point and sh**t.

(Joseph laughs)

Oh, what the?

(photos rustling)

Oh, my God, this is exactly

what I was looking for.

Okay, this is a story about

a man's descent into madness.

This is what is gonna give Ana justice.

[Joseph] Come on,

dude. Put that sh*t away.

No.

[Cam] Hey, hey, what are you doing, man?

- Hey, hey.

- What the f*ck is

wrong with you?

- Why do you have

so much stuff, man?

We're only going for a couple days.

Why are you going through my sh*t, dude?

Oh, I just wanna make

sure we're on the same page.

That's all.

That doesn't give you

permission to go through my stuff.

Respect my privacy.

- Sorry, man.

- Okay?

(bag rustling)

(zipper whizzing)

(bag thudding)

Let's go.

(engine humming)

(hands tapping)

(switch clicking)

(rock music)

[Joseph] Hey, Diego,

how long is this, uh,

trip to the airport?

Uh, how long is it, Cameron?

[Cam] About an hour.

[Joseph] Mm, it's not too bad.

Can I actually, uh, live

you guys up real quick

since we got this whole drive ahead of us?

Cool.

(Radio DJ speaking indistinctly)

Oh, yeah, check, check, check.

(engine rumbling)

[Diego] Puerto Rico, it's

gotta be, like, what, 10 hours?

[Cam] It's, like, four hours.

[Joseph] Holy hell.

[Cam] Make a right right here.

Oh, sorry, guys.

Whoo.

(tires screeching)

Here we are. We're here.

[Cam] Go this way. Go right.

See that, see that Crown Vic over there?

- Yeah.

- That's him.

(pensive music)

Good.

[Diego] All right, man.

- Yeah.

- Here we go.

(hand thudding)

Excited to see this plane, yo.

- Whoo, sh*t.

- Arrived.

(door clattering)

Yo, Cameron, whew.

[Joseph] I'm glad to

be out that car, man.

Yeah.

[Joseph] Man, this

audio's gonna be terrible.

[Diego] sh*t.

(plane engine humming)

(Joseph laughs)

[Joseph] Wait, where's he going?

I don't know, maybe to

go and talk to the pilot.

Let's hope he doesn't change his mind.

[Joseph] Wait. What do

you mean change his mind?

What's that supposed to mean?

One time, Ana planned

this entire rafting trip,

and he bailed at the airport.

She lost her deposit and everything.

See, if he gets in his head, it's over.

[Joseph] Hmm, well, if

he pulls that sh*t, man,

we'll just make him walk

his a*s back home. (Laughs)

- What about us?

- What do you mean, man?

(laughs) Free trip to Puerto Rico

Not without Cameron

See, his dad goes

way back with this guy.

He backs out, this whole thing is a bust.

(Joseph sighs)

(plane engine humming)

[Joseph] sh*t, can you

get, get that door for me?

sh*t, true, all right, thank you.

Ooh.

(door clattering)

(suitcase clattering)

Cameron?

[Joseph] Oh, hold the door.

- Oh.

- Oh.

Thanks.

- Yep.

[Joseph] Starting with the

bullshit early, aren't ya?

(Diego laughs)

(Joseph laughing)

Ah.

Dude, you are pacing. What's going on?

Yeah, well, he's been in there a while.

[Joseph] Okay, and?

I don't know.

Either he's taking a sh*t,

or he's planning his escape.

(Joseph sighs)

[Joseph] Has he always

been weird like this, man?

He didn't say more than three

words the entire trip up here.

Yeah, (sighs) I don't know, man.

Since Ana died, he's just been different.

[Joseph] Hmm.

Yeah, man, I get it.

Just know he's not that guy anymore.

What is it, like, five stages of grief

or something like that?

[Joseph] Thought it was, like, seven.

What is it, like, greed

and wrath, sloth? (Laughs)

Bro, no, no, no,

that's, like, the seven

deadly sins or something,

like, Dante's "Inferno" sh*t or whatever.

I don't know.

(Joseph laughing)

I'm talking about acceptance.

Like, he's definitely not

accepted what's happened.

I just had to gather my thoughts, dude.

Listen.

I'm not gonna change my mind.

This is different.

Okay, so what took you

so long in the bathroom?

I just had to, uh

You had to take a deuce?

[Joseph] Oh, dude.

(Diego laughing)

Come on, man.

No, I just had to get my sh*t together.

Oh, (laughs) yeah, you feel better?

Yeah, I threw up.

Nah, I'm good.

You know, the going part

doesn't actually bother me.

It's not finding what I'm looking for.

Are you scared that you might?

At this point, I have nothing to lose.

(plane engine humming)

(bottle thudding)

[Joseph] f*cking dare you to drink that.

Oh, f*ck off.

[Joseph] Hey, man, yo, what you reading?

Oh, sh*t, I didn't,

I didn't realize you were

talking to me, my bad.

[Joseph] Snuck up on you, sorry.

Yeah, no it's all, it's all good,

um, just a, a short story.

[Joseph] Yeah? It's got a name?

Uh, it's stupid.

It's, uh, (laughs) it's called

"The Monkey and the Camel."

It's a collection of fables.

[Joseph] So, like, a

bedtime story or some sh*t?

(Joseph laughing)

What's the story about?

An as*h*le pays the

consequences for his actions.

(lid thudding)

[Joseph] It's a little deep.

(laptop thudding)

What kind of actions?

Being an as*h*le.

(paper rustling)

[Joseph] So, um, Cameron,

maybe, uh, we could use this opportunity

to, like, get a little history

and maybe tell us a

little bit more about Ana

and stuff like that.

Yeah, um

Actually Cameron, you mind?

So I introduced them, actually.

See, Cameron and I were

neighbors at the time.

Ana and I were friends, and I was having

this 4th of July party.

And so I introduced them,

not thinking that they

would actually hit it off,

because they were such opposites.

See, she liked to travel, and he didn't,

but the heart wants what

the heart wants, right?

(foil clattering)

Mm, and then when he realized that she was

actually down to go out, he was like,

"Oh, what should I do?

"Where should I take her?" (laughs)

I don't sound like that, bro.

Yeah, you kind of do, though.

Yeah, but whatever, but anyway.

So he ended up taking her to Navy Pier

to go on the freaking Ferris wheel,

and I ended up tagging along.

She had no idea how terrified I was.

[Joseph] On a Ferris wheel?

Yeah, she knew.

It didn't matter, though.

(foil rasping)

And how do you know this?

Because she was my friend.

Well, she used to be.

(wind rustling)

(foil clattering)

Ana was always good at keeping secrets.

(food crunching)

- Hello.

- Hey, John.

- How's it going?

- Good, how you doing?

Pretty good.

- That's good.

How's the folks doing?

Uh, they're good.

Yeah? All right.

I really appreciate

you helping us like this.

Oh, sure, no problem, no problem.

So if you guys are about ready to go, uh,

let me pull this out of the hangar,

and then we'll load up up in front here.

- Right on.

- Okay?

- After you, amigo.

- Uh-huh.

(engine humming)

(wind rustling)

[Joseph] Oh, sh*t.

Ooh, it is a tight fit.

(item clanking)

(Joseph exhales)

Ooh.

- Actually, I'm gonna come

up here, oh, sh*t, um.

(steering wheel creaking)

(plane beeping)

(switch clicking)

(fan whirring)

[John] How you guys doing back there?

Oh, good, ready to take off.

(propellers whirring)

On our way to Puerto Rico, yo.

(engine humming)

(pensive music)

All right, we are so f*cking

high up off the ground now,

I think we're, like, 500 feet up.

(engine humming)

(static hissing)

(engine continues humming)

(pensive music continues)

[Cam] So where do you

plan on traveling this year?

Ooh. (Laughs)

(Cam laughing)

To Puerto Rico.

- To Puerto Rico?

- Do you guys want a latte?

(Cam laughing)

Yes, I want a latte.

(engine continues humming)

(pensive music continues)

You wanna stay.

(Cam laughing)

You wanna see seals?

- Go, go.

- All right, go.

Yay, they're happy.

Okay, come dance with me.

- I'm, I'm not, I'm not,

I'm not very good.

- Yes.

[Cam] That is a beautiful woman.

This is my favorite

song back in Puerto Rico.

You have to do a spin. Spin around.

[Cam] You know my skills?

(Ana laughing)

(engine humming)

(pensive music)

[Joseph] This is, like,

the smallest airport

I've ever seen.

Yeah, I know. It's rinky-dink.

[Joseph] What's that?

Hey, did you sleep at all?

[Joseph] Uh, sh*t,

dude, are you serious?

Have you heard yourself snore, dude?

You kept me and Cameron up all night.

No, I don't snore.

- 'Kay, sure.

- So where is Cameron?

[Joseph] Uh, he wandered off, dude.

He doesn't look too f*cking good today.

Imagine your fiance getting m*rder*d.

[Joseph] Wait, what'd you just say?

- Wait, what?

- You just say m*rder*d?

Dude, you told me she

was k*lled like it was

an accident or something.

Yeah, it was an accident.

It was a random k*lling.

[Joseph] Dude, not f*cking

cool, this is some sh*t

you could have shared

with me back when Chicago.

Yeah, when I hired you, I told you

that we were documenting

his process coping.

[Joseph] Yeah, but if I knew this sh*t,

I wouldn't have been shoving the camera

in his face the entire damn time.

God, look, just don't be

so f*cking dramatic, okay?

We're here.

(bag thudding)

(birds chirping)

I made a mistake.

I made a f*cking mistake, dude.

As soon as I stepped off that

plane being back here, it's,

(foot thudding)

Goddammit.

I don't know.

I can't f*cking do this.

I feel, I feel sick.

[Diego] Hey, remember

what we talked about.

You're finally standing

up for something, right?

Remember why you're here,

so that you can face this thing head on.

Dude, I really appreciate the pep talk,

but if you guys had been

through what I've been through,

you'd know exactly how I feel,

so miss me with that, man.

[Diego] All right.

[Joseph] Why don't we just,

like, uh, Diego, just today,

let him call the shots, man?

I'm just saying until he gets, like,

comfortable with things again.

Would that help?

Yeah, whatever.

Can you just flag a taxi

to Ocean Park please?

Thanks.

(Diego speaking Spanish)

[Joseph] Yeah, whatever he said.

(mellow music)

(vocalist singing in Spanish)

(lawnmower whirring)

(birds chirping)

- Oh, is this it?

- Yep, this is it.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Nice.

[Joseph] This is an Airbnb, yeah?

[Cam] Yep, it's not a hotel.

[Joseph] Nice.

(birds chirping)

- sh*t, here we are.

- Tiny little walkway.

- Yeah.

- Puerto Rico.

[Joseph] Can you believe this house?

[Diego] Damn.

[Joseph] You gonna tap

into the payment for the doc.

(Diego laughs)

(Joseph laughing)

Open the door to our palace.

(door squeaking)

[Cam] Got it.

[Joseph] Ah, good, I'm hungry as hell.

Ah, pretty nice digs.

[Joseph] sh*t, dude, dibs

on the biggest room, sh*t.

(item clattering)

- Oh.

- Whoo.

[Diego] I'm gonna take this room.

[Joseph] Well, I guess you found a home.

Wow.

- Mm-hmm, sure did.

[Joseph] All right,

Diego, I got it set, bro.

Oh, good, good, good, keep it rolling.

(cup thudding)

(Cam sighs)

Okay, so we're gonna

spend the next couple days

on the mainland, and then

we leave for Vieques.

I'm booking the ferry right now.

Good, nice.

(static hissing)

Can you guys chill

with the camera already?

- I was telling-

- Why are you pointing at me?

You said to keep it rolling.

Yeah, because you never

know what we're gonna get.

I mean, that's what was the plan.

I get that. I really just wanna chill.

I mapped out Ashford Presbyterian.

It's actually not far from here.

We should get an early start.

Should we get an early start?

(static hissing)

I'm sleeping, for real.

(sighs) Fine.

(Diego laughs)

How do you focus this thing?

(pensive music)

[Passerby] Okay, I've got it in.

[Diego] Oh, yeah.

Oh, (speaking Spanish).

(waves lapping)

- Hey.

- Hey, hey, hey.

[Passerby] Yeah?

Joseph's gonna be that

you using his camera?

[Diego] Ah, I'm the

producer. I can do what I want.

Looks like you're feeling

better this morning.

Yeah.

It's just weird reliving

a trip like this. (Laughs)

I don't know. It's like

deja vu or something.

(waves lapping)

(mellow music)

[Diego] You looking for something?

Yeah, yeah, wait,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

(fingers snapping)

Dude, three trees, three trees?

[Diego] Three trees.

[Cam] Dude.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

- This is where I did it.

[Diego] Hey, where you going?

This is why I proposed to Ana.

[Diego] Really?

You seem surprised.

[Diego] Uh, yeah, because

this place looks like sh*t.

I mean, (laughs) no, it's,

it's, it's, like, right here?

(waves lapping)

I didn't tell anyone this,

but she turned me down.

[Diego] She wasn't ready.

(hands rasping)

She just didn't wanna

get married right away.

[Diego] Why do you think that was?

I don't know.

Since you two went way back,

maybe you know something.

[Diego] No clue.

(waves lapping)

Never imagined just

a couple days later...

[Diego] All right, and then cool.

I need to know you believe me.

[Diego] Hey, man, I mean,

I thought we were getting, uh, B roll.

- I'm serious.

- Yeah, so am I.

Dude, this is important.

[Diego] Well, I wouldn't

be here if I didn't.

Can you turn the camera off?

- Why, are we done?

- Yeah.

Turn it off.

- Okay.

Jesus, this dumb-a*s.

I'm asking because it

cost me everyone, man.

Just I don't know.

Man, I think you need

to really take advantage

of this weather, bro, get some vitamin D.

You're not answering my question.

Do you believe me, yes or no?

Look, if you want people to believe you,

then maybe you need to,

like, talk about it,

okay, like, actually talk about it.

Talking about it's what got me

in trouble in the first place.

What does it look like again?

So you don't believe me?

Yes, I do. I'm here.

Yeah, you're here, (scoffs) whatever.

I'm not trying to come

off as being a d*ck,

or being aggressive, or

being rude, but it's just...

(pensive music)

Hmm.

You should really talk about that.

Dude, is it recording?

Is it? Oh, sorry.

Dude, I told you to turn it off.

Okay.

f*ck is wrong with you, dude?

Okay, man, look, sorry.

Cameron, come on, man.

I didn't know.

Man, wait up. I didn't

know that it was on.

(foot thudding)

Oh, what the f*ck, dude?

Dude, come on.

You guys told me I run the show.

So when I say camera's off,

that means camera's off.

[Diego] Well, guess what.

You're avoiding what I

asked you back there.

I wasn't avoiding sh*t.

Remember when I said respect my privacy?

That means respect my f*cking privacy.

[Diego] Okay, well,

what does that even mean?

You lied.

You left the camera on, dude.

[Diego] Okay, well,

I'm sorry, all right?

I'm sorry.

You did that on purpose. Admit it.

[Diego] Admit what?

That you left the camera

on on purpose, you as*h*le.

[Diego] Well, that's what you do

when you're filming a doc.

You keep it rolling,

hoping for something real.

Hoping for something

real? This is my life, dude.

I'm putting everything into this.

I'm actually really excited for this trip.

Did you pack?

We're here for, like, 10 days.

(Cam laughing)

- Wait, 10 days, what are you-

- I mean, no, not 10 days.

10 hours. (Laughs)

- How you doing, man?

- So, dude, how you doing,

man?

Get your stuff 'cause I want

you to come with me, okay?

We're gonna have a really good time.

[Cam] You know, there's

no hospitals in Vieques.

What if something happens?

Oh, Jesus.

(siren wailing)

(door clattering)

(siren continues wailing)

The as*h*le security

guard won't let me go

into Ana's room.

[Joseph] So what do you wanna do?

I, I don't know.

We can't leave the hospital

behind though, man.

[Joseph] Dude, why don't

we just get the interview,

and we'll come back later?

We'll get the inserts from on the inside.

Fine.

[Joseph] All right, well,

let's go tell Cameron then.

Well, hopefully he

doesn't run away this time.

[Joseph] So, Cameron, do

you want to just tell us

a little bit more about this place?

Yeah, this is, um, this

is where they flew her in.

There's no hospital on Vieques.

[Joseph] Oh.

(pensive music)

[Diego] Well, how long

was she in here for, man?

Not long.

She was dead already.

I don't know why I was

hoping she'd still be alive

but the state I found her in...

I was just praying for a miracle.

Yeah, well, we need

to find another way in.

[Joseph] Real sorry she

went down that way, man.

My parents don't look at

me the same way anymore.

I think a part of them

believes that I did it.

And it's been really hard

communicating with them,

especially my dad.

Do you know what it's like to be arrested

for a crime you didn't commit

while mourning someone's death?

You know, I hope none

of you ever experience

chronic depression or, or night terrors.

That's sh*t's f*cked.

Should we find another way inside?

You're not f*cking listening.

Do you not hear what I just said?

Yes, I did hear what you said.

Why are we here? Why

are we here right now?

Focus. Answer the question.

Why are we here?

To document this.

To figure out what happened to Ana.

We're here to k*ll the

f*cking monster, dude.

Do you understand?

Do you f*cking understand, yes or no?

Yes.

(traffic whooshing)

(pensive music continues)

[Joseph] Did he just say monster?

Come on.

He doesn't just get to keep

walking away like this.

[Joseph] Dude, why

can't we just give him

a little bit of space,

just for a minute, man?

[Diego] What?

(brooding music)

[Joseph] Like for real.

Give him a little bit of space?

[Joseph] Yeah.

You know, that's, like,

your answer for everything.

Guess what. Let me just reiterate.

If I want you to keep

sh**ting, please keep sh**ting.

Or if I say follow me, you

better be right on my heels.

All right?

- Dude, I'm trying, man.

sh*t.

(traffic whooshing)

(pensive music continues)

Finally, I get him to open up, and what?

You say, "Oh, just let

him breathe," and...

[Joseph] I just wanna know

what the hell he's been talking

about this whole time, man.

Can you just stop for a minute?

Seriously.

- He's right here.

- Huh?

What? Where is he?

He's right here.

I'm hungry. You want some food?

[Joseph] No, dude, this sh*t's starting

to f*cking scare me, man.

I think we need to call the police.

Did you say call the police?

[Joseph] Yeah, dude

have you been listening

to the sh*t he's been saying, dude?

No.

[Joseph] Like, he's not all right.

I just want you to know that.

Oh, and we can call the police for that?

[Joseph] Okay, so what

happens if he, like,

hurts somebody or hurts

himself even, then what?

Man, f*ck you, I'm getting some food.

[Joseph] Talk to me for

a minute about this sh*t.

Tell me what the f*ck

is going on with him.

Why do you think that we're here?

[Joseph] (sighs) I don't even

f*cking know anymore, dude.

Why don't, listen, genius, tell me.

Why don't you tell me

why we're here, okay?

I'm gonna text this to you, all right?

[Joseph] What? What the f*ck is it?

It's an article that I

want you to read, okay,

while I go get some food.

(sighs) All right, sure, cool.

(pensive music)

Hey, Cam.

(dog barking)

Hey, man, I know this sh*t

can't be easy on you, man.

You okay?

Listen, man, I'll just,

I'm gonna give you your space, dude.

I'll, I'll be right over here

if you need to talk, though.

Seriously.

(dog barking)

(pensive music continues)

Ana Diaz Bruce.

Attacked by a f*cking caiman.

You f*cking kidding me?

Doesn't even make any f*cking sense.

[Diego] That a fun read?

(paper rustling)

You're kidding me,

right, with this sh*t?

You f*cking sat on this

since Chicago, dude,

kept this sh*t a f*cking secret?

You know that, right?

- It's not secret

if you're reading about it.

(bag thudding)

I'm gonna tell you right now.

Wow.

This dude is accused

of k*lling his wife,

sh*t you should have

f*cking told me, for real.

Look, Beyonce, I know

the charges were dropped.

This dude thinks a

f*cking chupacabra tried

to eat his f*cking wife.

Cameron is harmless.

(static hissing)

Oh, my God, where is he?

Dude, where is he now, huh?

[Joseph] Dude, he was

sitting right f*cking there.

Yeah, dude, you lost the

subject of our documentary.

Dude, you know he is been looking

for someone to be on his side, right?

Sides, there are no sides.

There's the truth, and that's it.

And that's what we're here to uncover.

So get your camera,

and let's find Cameron.

[Joseph] This f*cking dude's an idiot.

Maybe he went back.

(Joseph sighs)

f*ck.

- Yeah?

And what if he didn't?

Tell me we're spending

more than three minutes

looking for this dude.

Can you please get

that thing outta my face?

[Joseph] Oh, you don't

like it in your face now?

Awesome.

- Oh, see?

There he is.

- Oh, yeah, wow.

- Like I told you.

[Joseph] Lucky f*cking

guess, dude, congratulations.

Maybe this is the end

of our wild goose chase.

[Joseph] Or the end of the first one.

(door squeaking)

[Diego] Hey, Cameron.

Hey.

Hey, do you wanna head

back to the hospital, man,

and finish our interview?

[Joseph] Well, let's, come on, man.

(Diego sighs)

Hey, man, what's that in your hand?

[Diego] Yeah, where'd you get that From?

The beach.

I found Ana.

(birds cooing)

Well, you need to talk

to us about what you saw,

what you saw on that night.

(patrons cheering)

(screeching voices swell)

(Rooster crows)

Tell us about the night Ana was k*lled.

(Cam gasping)

(Cam gasping)

Oh, my God.

We were getting dinner at

the taco truck on the beach.

(brooding music)

While waiting, we overheard

some locals talking

about an area they had to

stop sending tourists to.

It was off limits.

That made Ana wanna go even more.

Secret place.

[Cam] It's an hour away.

Oh, no way.

She was like the Latina Indiana Jones.

Anything that was outta reach

or, I don't know, off the radar

is a better way to put it, I guess,

got her really excited.

We were in Vieques

because she was writing an

article on outta-the-way spots.

But I, I came out here for her.

I wanted to show her

that I wasn't a coward,

that I could protect her,

and that I wasn't afraid of everything.

So we drove out there.

The roads were gravel.

I was praying that we wouldn't get a flat.

I just remember how dark it was.

Finally, we reached this

little cove with a beach

and, um...

(ground rumbling)

(Rooster crows)

Can we, can we take five?

[Joseph] Um, yeah, yeah, well

[Diego] We're just, we're just,

we're just getting started.

Come on. We can, he didn't

even look at the pictures.

- Here, let's-

- We can push through.

[Joseph] Let's just give 'em about,

let's give 'em five minutes, and I'll,

honestly, I've been

sh**ting all day anyways.

I'll get this battery changed out

and, yeah, just, just a

couple minutes, right?

(door clattering)

It's just a couple minutes, man.

Okay, well fine.

(papers rasping)

Give him a chance to f*cking

walk around the block again

and then go chase his

a*s down in San Juan.

Sure, if you wanna do that, that's great.

(paper rustling)

[Joseph] Come on. Don't go

through his sh*t again, man.

This was the most important part.

[Joseph] I understand,

but didn't he just b*tch

at you in Chicago about that?

You know, instead of working against me,

why don't you act like we're

on the same f*cking team, please?

[Joseph] Just saying, I

just wanna keep him motivated,

you know, stop pushing him so damn much.

Yeah, but (laughs) we're

just getting nowhere,

and it's just a waste of fricking time.

[Joseph] Time?

I'm saying, if he walks

in here right now, dude,

he's definitely gonna be pissed off.

We're gonna lose his trust.

It's gonna k*ll plenty of

f*cking time if that happens.

Trust, yeah, he trusts me.

Why else would he ask

me to come on this trip?

(Joseph sighs)

This is...

[Joseph] The f*ck is that?

I took this.

[Joseph] You took it.

Why does he have it?

This is a day that we

spent at Starved Rock.

[Joseph] Stuff's, like,

getting super personal.

Why don't you just, like, try

treating him the way you did,

like, when you guys first met,

back when you first became friends?

I don't know.

I feel like you're gonna

get a lot more out of him

if you just bring it down a little bit.

(footsteps plodding)

[Diego] Hey, why don't we, uh,

skip all the formality bullshit

and just, I mean, we can move to the table

and talk, you know, as

friends or one on one.

What do you think?

(hand thudding)

(bar patrons chattering indistinctly)

(Ana laughing)

No.

[Cam] Not so fun, isn't it?

(Cam and Ana laughing)

Ah, yeah, good one.

(Cam laughing)

[Joseph] All right, set back up, um.

- Yeah, whatever.

- Come on, let's go.

(Cameron and Ana laughing)

Cameron.

[Joseph] Cameron, do you wanna try

to just kinda pick it up

where we left off inside?

And, and just so you

know, you're doing, like,

really, really awesome, man.

Just take your time.

(birds chirping)

I don't know where to start.

We were sitting there and I remember

Hey, uh, Joseph,

(fingers snapping)

Can you actually bring the

camera right over here?

[Joseph] What, right now?

Yeah, because I wanted

to get a close-up,

actually, of this.

Come on, just move the camera.

[Joseph] Geez okay, okay, okay.

[Diego] Come on, right over here.

[Joseph] Okay, sit down.

- Just right here.

- Geez.

Yeah, that's good.

[Joseph] Tight shot.

Thanks, yes, tight shot.

Took the words right outta my mouth there.

Right on his face.

Good?

- Yeah.

All right, excellent.

Good.

(leaves rustling)

Anything else?

Oh, no, where did you leave off?

Snapping.

Yeah.

(pensive music)

I remember snapping, like twigs breaking,

like something walking towards us.

And then it would go quiet.

It's really hard to describe.

I almost felt it more,

like something heard us and was lurking.

That's what I told the police.

Later on, we went swimming,

and she got out ahead of me.

[Ana] For once.

(water splashing)

(Ana exhales)

Cameron, it's time to go.

That's when I heard her scream

(camera clattering)

(Ana screaming)

And saw something drag her away.

(Ana screaming)

I don't know what it was.

It was hunched.

It was human, but it wasn't.

It was, it was, it was deformed.

I ran to catch up to

them, and that's, that,

that's when I found her.

(Cameron gasping)

It must have been light by

the time Manuel found me

because I totally f*cking blanked.

Oh, wait. Who's Manuel?

He's the guy that's helping us.

You'll meet him tomorrow.

(leaves rustling)

(birds chirping)

(item clanking)

(clothes rustling)

(water pattering)

(paper rustling)

(water continues pattering)

- Dude.

- What the f*ck?

[Joseph] Dude, what the f*ck

are you doing in his room?

(brooding music)

[Diego] Hey, check this out.

[Joseph] I'm about 100% sure

you're contaminating evidence right now.

What do you think this is,

hmm, what he claims it to be?

[Joseph] I don't f*cking know, dude.

Have you watched all those videos

on the top five reasons how she died?

Mm-hmm.

I tell you, legitimate

sources have Cameron released

after the coroner's report

concluded caiman attack.

[Joseph] Read a whole

bunch of other sh*t

that said caimans don't even live

on the island of Vieques, though.

See? There you go.

[Joseph] Okay, so if they don't live

on the island of Vieques, then what?

Wait, What are you saying?

[Joseph] I'm saying

that either he's lying,

or they're, they're lying.

I don't f*cking know.

There's a whole f*cking bunch

of, like, articles out there

about how she, like, got

flown in from San Juan Bay

and not Vieques, though.

(Joseph sighs)

I don't know.

Alls I know is that if

they f*cking flew her in

from San Juan Bay, if

that's true, you know

that means this entire

story's made up, right?

Yeah.

Tomorrow we supposedly meet

the guy that helped him.

[Joseph] Makes this

even f*cking weirder.

We could be showing up to

a place to k*ll something

that doesn't even exist.

And that is f*cking gold.

[Joseph] Dude, the f*cking

shower just shut off. Come on.

(mellow music)

(friends chattering indistinctly)

(vocalists singing in Spanish)

[Joseph] Oh, hell, yeah, we're here.

Let's get this sh*t going.

(brakes squeaking)

(leaves rustling)

Let's get some of this

f*cking B roll, baby.

(pensive music)

Look at this beautiful-a*s scene.

sh*t looks good.

(waves lapping)

[Diego] Hey, what's up, man?

[Joseph] Oh, sh*t, hey,

what's going on, man?

- Dude, that is for you.

- Oh, f*ck, yeah.

Can I ask you a personal question?

[Joseph] Uh, it's kind of

scary, but sure, sh**t, man.

We've asked you, what, 50 so far? (Laughs)

So, yeah, go for it.

Um, why are you here?

[Joseph] Well, you know

what I do back home, right?

Like, I do, like,

commercials and music videos.

It's all studio work, dude,

so I'm trapped inside all f*cking day,

and it feels like kind

of a challenge, so...

Do you, um, do you

like working with Diego?

[Joseph] Listen, dude,

I mean, you know him.

You see how he is.

He's, like, professional,

so he gets the sh*t done.

And honestly, he kinda

pays pretty good, so.

Ah, so it's about the

money then. (Laughs)

[Joseph] No, come on.

We all gotta eat, man.

It's a huge part of it,

but it's not everything.

In your industry, you deal

with a lot of personalities,

so you gotta know how

to read people, right?

[Joseph] Well, of course, yeah.

I think that's a huge part of it.

(boat horn blaring)

So do you think I'm lying?

(boat horn blaring)

I'm not lying.

[Joseph] Dude, there's a boat coming in.

Hey, I got, I gotta get this dude. Sorry.

Can you actually move to

the side just a little bit?

(boat horn blaring)

(waves lapping)

(birds chirping)

Yo, get some of that over there, too.

You know, boost the production quality.

[Joseph] (laughs) Oh,

yeah, that is the money shot.

(boat horn blaring)

(waves lapping)

(gangplank clattering)

(wind rustling)

(waves lapping)

Okay, tight fit.

(engine humming)

Hey, Manuel, it's Cameron.

We're on our way to the island.

Still haven't heard from you or anything.

Just, uh, just really need

you to call me back, man.

Just, I'm gonna send you

the address to our Airbnb.

Just, uh, give me a call, thanks.

sh*t.

(body thudding)

(baby crying)

Did you get a hold of him?

(pensive music)

(Cam speaking Spanish)

I, I think I, I said that right.

I've been trying to work

on my Spanish, but, uh,

but, um, we don't see you here

at the, at the pickup spot.

(static hissing)

(mellow music)

(children chattering indistinctly)

f*ck whoever this guy is, man.

I'm gonna f*cking call a ride.

f*ck this sh*t, man.

Hating on me 'cause

a b*tch gotta get it

They mad 'cause the bank

account got them digits

I'm a boss, you a secretary

Money come first, never secondary

Like Montana, I ain't never worry

My diamonds cold like February

[Diego, O.S.] I'm sorry

I flipped out back there.

[Cam, O.S.] It is what it is.

[Diego] Hey, I wanted to

thank you for this opportunity.

[Cam] You don't have to thank me.

[Diego] Well, it's important.

I'm glad that we trust each other.

Yeah?

[Joseph, O.S.], shitty f*cking tripod.

[Diego] Here you go.

See if Joseph needs help with his stuff.

(door clattering)

(Joseph sighs)

(door clattering)

[Joseph] Oh, hey, what's going on, man?

Ah, not much, are you

getting some good B roll?

[Joseph] Oh, I'm doing the best I can.

[Diego] All right, here,

I'll take this in for you.

[Joseph] Oh, dude, I appreciate that.

[Diego] Oh, just gonna wait for the car.

[Joseph] A lot of cars

out here, though, so trying.

We can fix it in post.

[Joseph] I don't know,

man. Can only do so much.

(door clanking)

[Joseph] What is this? sh*t

looks like Grandma's house.

(laughs)

Nice.

f*cking smells like Grandma's house, too.

(Joseph laughing)

Oh, wow, man.

Come on. You come for the g*n show?

[Joseph] How'd you get in

the shower that fast, man?

(brooding music)

[Ana, O.S.] So it's a date

night. Come on, Cameron.

[Cam, O.S.] Yo, you

got me on video again?

[Ana] (laughs) Yes, we

have to document everything.

[Cam] Yeah, I guess.

[Ana] We're going to

a date night to a bar.

- Yeah, to, uh-

- Say hi to everybody.

[Cam] Hey, everyone.

[Ana] He's camera shy.

[Cam] I'm not camera shy.

I just-

You're Cameron.

[Joseph] Hey.

sh**t, what the f*ck?

(Joseph laughing)

You can't just sneak up on people, man.

- I was just-

- Jesus.

[Joseph] I was just

messing with you, man. Sorry.

[Diego] Hey, what happened?

[Joseph] (sighs) Uh, I was

just f*cking with him, man.

I don't know.

Guess I pissed him off.

(sighs) Is, is that her?

- So it's a great night.

- It's Ana.

- Come on, Cameron.

I know you-

Yo, you got on video again?

- (laughs) Yes.

- Kinda feel bad now.

[Ana] We have to document everything.

[Cam] Yeah, I guess.

So no pressure, right?

- No pressure.

- No pressure.

(ba*ls and pins clattering)

Okay, you got a couple.

Whoo, great.

Asking questions.

- Asking.

Wait, one question that you'd

like to ask the universe.

(gasps) What are we

gonna do in five years?

(Cameron laughing)

Think I'm gonna be a

millionaire in five years.

No.

(Cameron laughing)

I'm gonna be healthy.

- Healthy?

- Yeah.

I can't imagine going out

the way that she did, you know?

[Joseph] What do you mean?

She was torn apart.

(brooding music)

(Diego exhales)

Hey, guys, it's Fuego Diego coming at you

live from Vieques.

Day three, we finally made it here.

We had a little bit of a

rough start in San Juan,

but we're here in Vieques,

and we're gonna get this show on the road.

Cameron's still acting a little distant.

So I set this up out here.

Maybe he'll tell you what's going on

because having a hard time telling me.

We're gonna get this.

(equipment clattering)

Hey, you wanna see what a

real documentarian looks like?

Wow, dude, keep f*cking with my camera.

[Diego] What?

- Better not-

- I'm just trying to,

I'm trying to do some examples, bro.

Better knock your sh*t off, dude.

Trying to get this sh*t set up for you.

[Diego] Well, thank you.

(Joseph sighs)

That's what I'm paying you for.

(switch clicking)

Man, what was that?

- Oh.

Oh, come on.

[Diego] Did you just

blow the f*cking power?

(switch clicking)

Even if I did, I'm

gonna tell everyone else

you f*cking did it anyways.

(upbeat music)

(vocalist singing indistinctly)

(engine roaring)

(tires screeching)

(door clattering)

(storm clouds rumbling)

(door clattering)

What do you think of this weather?

[Diego] Found the fuse

box, and it's locked.

What happened?

(rooster crowing)

[Joseph] (laughs) You're

gonna have to ask Diego

about that, man.

It's f*cking dark in this place, man.

Sh.

(phone ringing)

(phone thudding)

Goddammit.

First, Manuel doesn't pick up.

Now this Airbnb lady doesn't pick up.

I don't know.

I just know a whole day wasted,

not even gonna be able

to get a talking head.

Dude, no one cares about

your talking head right now.

I'm just saying it's a waste.

[Joseph] Why don't

we just text this lady,

and then we'll go get the supplies

like we talked about, man?

We'll get the flashlights,

and the candles,

and sh*t for tonight just in case.

And maybe, Cameron, you could stick behind

to see if she shows up or some sh*t.

That's not a bad idea and

before it gets too dark.

[Diego] Where there's

a will, there's a way.

[Joseph] Wow.

Anything else you wanna

b*tch about before we leave?

Oh, you mean how you b*tch

about holding that camera all day?

Hey, why don't you give it to me?

- Ooh, go take it, tough guy.

- I'll take it from you.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Stop!

(keys jangling)

Here.

(keys jangling)

Guess what. I'm driving.

[Joseph] Good, drive me around.

(brooding music)

(birds squawking)

Are you recording me?

They say that when you lose someone,

a part of you dies with them,

especially when it's

someone that you love.

Too early.

Too early for this.

Do I ever do this to you?

Stop.

Tried to go to her funeral.

And as, as soon as I tried

to walk into that church,

her dad stopped me and

punched me in the face.

He said I wasn't welcome there.

I couldn't protect his

daughter (distorted audio)

(foot thudding)

(brooding music continues)

(fist thudding)

f*cking.

(crickets chirping)

[Diego] How does your

hotspot work and mine doesn't?

(liquid sloshing)

So fricking annoying.

(pitcher thudding)

(pensive music)

So this is where Ana was attacked.

Hey.

(fingers snapping)

Come over here. Take a look at this.

Ensenadas Shadow Cove.

Huh.

(paper rustling)

And what did the cops think

when you showed them what you saw?

They didn't listen.

They kept telling me I was in shock,

which I was.

Well, you were the only person there

present when Ana died.

How long did they question you for?

(static hissing)

Hours, for hours, all day.

Hmm, but they let you go?

Yeah.

They said they knew I

couldn't hurt her like that.

They called it a caiman attack.

- And what'd you say?

- It wasn't.

That's so interesting.

I read a report that said you thought

it might have been on all fours.

[Cam] Yeah, I said that.

But those drawings don't depict anything

that's, like, reptilian

or low to the ground.

[Diego] Wait, wait, hold on.

I never said that

anything looked reptilian.

I said the police said

something looked reptilian.

So reporters, they twisted your words.

They all did.

And authorities, they

falsified information.

- Like what?

- Like saying

that Ana had died in San

Juan Bay and not Vieques.

What is this, 20 questions or something?

Dude, I don't know about any of that.

Joe, is, is this still

part of the interview?

[Joseph] Uh, I don't know, man.

(Diego sighs)

If the police report

is correct, that means

that you were never even here in Vieques.

And that means that your

story is complete bullshit.

(Cameron laughs)

My story's bullshit?

You wanna talk about my

story being bullshit, Diego?

Hmm?

And they said I was the f*cking crazy one.

Why don't we just go

ahead and take five?

f*ck that. I'm taking 30.

(lid thudding)

(crickets chirping)

(neighbors chattering indistinctly)

[Joseph] Hey, what's

up, man? Power's back on.

Well, no sh*t.

[Joseph] Well, yeah,

obviously, I guess, um.

Diego just wanted to know if you wanted

to head back in and finish this sh*t up.

Diego can go f*ck himself.

[Joseph] Yeah, um, hmm.

So what you reading this time, man?

Do you really care

about what I'm reading?

[Joseph] I mean, I

asked, didn't I? (Laughs)

So, yeah.

"The a*s, the Fox, and the Lion."

(blinds clattering)

[Diego] Hey, guys, 30

minutes past your lunchtime,

let's go.

(blinds clattering)

(Joseph laughing)

[Joseph] "The a*s,

the Fox, and the Lion."

Which one's Diego, man?

Take a wild f*cking guess, dude.

(brooding music)

f*ck.

Hey, Manuel, I've tried to call you, like,

10 times since I've been here.

Tonight's the night.

I don't, I'm not really working

with a lotta time here, man.

I mean, dude, please just, just please,

just call me back, dude.

I, I, I need you for this, dude.

Just, just call me back, please, bye.

f*ck.

(foot thudding)

(fist thudding)

(static hissing)

[Diego] 'Kay, we back up?

(fingers snapping)

[Joseph] Yeah, sorry, I need to change

the f*cking media real quick.

[Diego] Make sure that

sh*t don't happen again.

- Dude.

- So what, what is this?

[Joseph] Yeah, that's the

story I want you to look at.

Check it out real quick.

(brooding music)

"An a*s and a fox were close friends,

and one day, the pair

unexpectedly met a lion."

Dude, what the hell is this?

Some f*cking little

kid story, I don't know.

Just read it for a second.

"The a*s was frightened,

but the fox calmed him.

'Don't worry. I will

talk to him, ' he said.

So the fox approached."

Yeah, okay, I get the gist.

[Joseph] Do you?

Yeah, the fox tries to save himself

by selling out his friend.

Instead, he gets eaten by the lion first.

- Uh-huh.

- Like a big f*ck you.

[Joseph] Meaning?

Uh, moral of the story,

traitors may expect treachery.

[Joseph] Uh-huh, now let that sink in.

This is the kinda sh*t your boy

is reading every f*cking day.

He's probably in there reading

another one right now.

- Okay, who cares?

You know, just don't

freak out on me, please.

[Joseph] Dude, I'm not

f*cking freaking out,

but if someone's reading sh*t like this,

I'm not sitting there trying

to push buttons and trigger these people.

Okay, so what, what do

you want me to do about it?

[Joseph] I think we need to move forward

a little more professional like we do

when we're not doing

projects with friends.

(pensive music)

(footsteps plodding)

[Diego] Dude, this guy's

all the way in the basement.

Stairs.

That's number five, six.

There we go (speaking Spanish).

(hand knocking)

Know you're in there.

(door squeaking)

- Stop recording.

- No, come on.

You wanted me to document this.

Yeah, I asked for an interview.

I didn't ask you to

document my whole life, man.

[Diego] Fine, fine,

it's not on you, geez.

Come on man.

[Diego] That's cool. You

got everything set up already.

[Cam] You sent everything.

[Diego] Dude, where's

all your furniture?

[Cam] I sold it.

[Diego] Are you moving?

I am.

Everything around me

reminds me too much of her,

so I just need a change of scenery.

[Diego] sh*t, man, you

don't really have anything.

You got, like, a desk, and,

well, tell me you got a bed.

You got a bed at least?

Wait, where are you going?

[Cam] I do have a bed.

Can we, can we focus please?

[Diego] You all right?

Do you wanna show us some photos of Ana?

Yeah, um.

Thank you, um.

(paper rustling)

This is, this is Ana.

She was adventurous. She was beautiful.

She was the, the light of my life.

Uh, she'd come in my room

saying (speaking Spanish).

"We need to go," and she would

never tell me where we'd go,

but we would just take me

on random adventures and, and stuff.

[Diego] You wanna show

us some of those drawings?

Yeah.

(paper rustling)

Um.

I can't get the image out of my head.

My therapist said it'd be

beneficial and therapeutic

if I just draw it out,

and I just can't, I can't stop.

I've been, I've been really depressed

ever since she died.

And she was, she was everything to me.

And, um, dude, am I saying too much?

[Diego] No, you're doing fine.

(papers thudding)

Well, is there anything

else you wanna say to people

who are gonna watch this?

(crickets chirping)

Oh, hey, guys, (laughs) you're so cute.

It's Joe and Cameron.

Look. It is Cameron.

See? He runs away when

I try to talk to him.

It's beautiful Esperanza, yo.

Yeah, I just needed to get

outta that house for a bit,

clear my head.

I'm gonna grab some dinner,

and then we'll get back

to these interviews.

(engine puttering)

Hey, yo!

(engine roaring)

Whoo.

After the insert, we'll

set up an interview

with Cameron to talk about the nail.

[Joseph] You know about it already.

[Diego] Yeah, but it doesn't

hurt to cover our bases.

[Joseph] (sighs) Yeah, cover bases.

Tell me when you

showed this to the cops.

I didn't show it to them.

What?

I haven't shown anyone except you guys.

I found it when I went back.

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm, I'm very f*cking confused right now.

They released me,

and I had to fly back to get my stuff.

My bags, Ana's suitcase, it

was all still on the island.

Wait, wait. You went back a second time?

You went back to the crime scene?

It's not a crime scene, dude.

Why do you keep calling it that?

[Diego] Because it's where Ana died.

I mean, she died there.

- Wait a minute, minute.

- That sounds like

a crime scene to me.

[Joseph] Wait a minute,

so what you're saying is

someone came, picked you up,

and brought you all

the way back out there?

Manuel.

He picked me up from the airport.

We went back there

before coming back here.

[Joseph] But why would you even wanna go

back to that place again?

I wanted to see where

it happened in daylight.

I was hoping to find something, and I did.

[Diego] This is evidence.

It's potential evidence anyways.

Why do you keep acting

like I covered something up?

(dog barking)

They had their story, okay?

What difference would it have made?

I don't know.

Maybe it would've matched

wounds on her body.

That sounds pretty important.

If I'm being real,

I thought I could have

had an expert look at it.

But you didn't.

Nah, instead you go in

to see a hypnotherapist.

(item clattering)

[Joseph] What the f*ck, dude?

Did something just hit the house?

Wait, you don't think that

thing you've been talking

about could be wandering in

the neighborhood, do you?

- f*cking kidding me?

- What?

Dude, if he's telling the truth,

that thing it could be anywhere.

- Well-

- Wait.

What do you mean if I'm telling the truth?

f*ck you.

(knife clanking)

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Put the knife away, Cameron.

[Joseph] No, I'm not, dude.

I am not f*cking going out there.

What am I paying you for?

[Joseph] What?

You're paying me to hit f*cking score,

not put my life in danger.

Okay, just f*cking grow a pair.

What, is this a morality

thing, or is it about money?

[Joseph] No, it's f*cking

simple risk versus reward.

It's not worth it.

- Okay, f*ck, man.

I'll up your day rate f*cking 30%.

Just come on.

[Joseph] Wow, five f*cking percent?

[Diego] Where is he? Where'd he go?

[Joseph] He literally just came out.

Yeah, okay.

Well, I don't know.

- Hey, hey, hey, sh, sh,

sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

- What the f*ck.

- Sh, sh, sh.

- Okay.

- What are you doing?

Dude, do you hear that?

Will you just be

careful with that knife?

- Shut up.

- Hey, be careful.

Come on, come on. Keep up.

This is actually really good.

Hey.

(brooding music)

[Cam] I heard something.

[Diego] Yeah, okay, well,

maybe it could have been

a, a rooster, a dog, a cat,

a horse.

- No, no, no, man.

Someone's, someone's just,

someone's trying to f*ck with us.

(grass rustling)

[Joseph] Dude, there's

f*cking mosquitoes

like crazy out here.

I know. I'm getting bit.

(dog barking)

See? A dog.

It was probably a dog.

Let's go back inside.

Cameron, seriously, there's

nothing out here, okay?

Let's just go back inside.

What are you even looking for?

(dog barking)

- Can you hear that?

- No, yeah,

I hear a dog barking.

- Sh.

(Cameron gasping)

(dramatic music)

- What?

f*ck this. I'm going back inside.

[Cam] Wait.

[Joseph] Dude, whatever it

was, it's probably gone by now.

[Cam] f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.

(engine churning)

(brooding music)

[Joseph] Huh.

(door clattering)

Oh.

[Manuel] You and your

friends better get outta here.

Go home.

[Joseph] Okay, f*cking weirdo.

(door clattering)

(brooding music continues)

(engine roaring)

(gravel crunching)

(feet shuffling)

Just had some weird f*cking standoff

with some dude outside, dude.

- Hey.

Hey, put the camera down.

- What?

- Stop the camera.

[Joseph] I'm never allowed

to stop the f*cking camera.

- No, I know.

- f*ck.

(equipment clattering)

The f*ck is this, a confessional?

sh*t, shut up and watch.

(pensive music)

What the f*ck is he

taking his clothes off for?

That's where he found the knife.

- No sh*t?

- Uh-huh.

(crickets chirping)

(pensive music continues)

Okay, I've seen some f*cking

weird sh*t, dude, but this?

(crickets chirping)

Oh, I'm not watching this sh*t.

Come on. Turn this off.

No, no, no, no.

Hey, we could open with

this, him cutting himself.

It's, it's (laughs)

Metaphorical.

Are you listening to yourself?

You know, the pain and

the affliction, it...

[Joseph] You wanna open our f*cking doc?

Yeah, it would draw

(Cam screaming)

Other people in.

(dramatic music)

Yeah, man, for some reason, large bodies

of water just terrify me.

It feels endless.

You see that island over there?

[Diego] Uh-huh.

Ana wanted to go explore it.

I didn't want to do it.

But anyways, we got over there,

and on top of the hill,

the sun was setting, man,

and I just remember holding her.

(mellow music)

(waves lapping)

It was a very beautiful moment.

At least that's the way you remember it.

(waves lapping)

Hey.

Cameron doesn't know this,

but she called me that night, Ana.

Apparently, they had a huge blow-up.

Maybe that's what set him off.

(wind rustling)

(gravel crunching)

Oh, sh*t, this is, um,

this is the food cart

where Ana had her last meal

before we went to the little cove.

[Joseph] Did he just say last meal?

(brooding music)

(feet shuffling)

Yeah.

(engine puttering)

[Joseph] Diego, look at this.

This horse is eating his own a*s.

Wow, look at this old-a*s thing for sale.

This is awesome out here.

(pensive music)

Diego, you see this sh*t?

(gravel crunching)

(feet thudding)

Oh, this is unreal, huh?

- Hey.

- Wow.

[Joseph] Just cut the sh*t already.

What's your problem now?

[Joseph] Nothing, I'm just saying let's,

let's keep today a little bit more civil.

Oh.

(engine roaring)

(waves lapping)

So why'd you two come out here?

It was on the top of

Ana's list for her article.

We were fighting that day,

and it kinda sent things over the edge.

[Diego] Oh, uh-huh, you

wanna talk about that?

Instead of using the

trip as a way to reset,

it kinda blew up in my face.

(Diego laughs)

[Diego] Oh, what blew up in your face?

Bringing you up.

Me?

You introduced us.

Yeah, so?

Any reasonable man's gonna wonder,

how does she know the guy

that made the introduction?

Because we were friends.

(Cameron laughs)

Bull f*cking sh*t, dude.

A little more than that, don't ya think?

(Diego laughs)

So if you knew, then why

didn't you say anything?

I could ask you the same thing.

But to answer your question,

Ana told me not to.

'Kay, well, it was nothing, all right?

(Cameron laughing)

Yeah, she said that, too.

I'm talking about it because

this is what she told me.

And coming home after she died,

that wasn't the right time.

Okay, so, so why did she

even say anything at all?

I mean, you two were together.

(brooding music)

(waves lapping)

I tagged along with her

for a work trip to Sicily.

At that time, I was still

trying to impress her, you know,

because I'm afraid of everything.

We were walking in this

market, it was late,

and this mugger just comes outta nowhere

and tries to take her purse.

And I just stand there in fear

as he's wrestling that

thing away from her.

I don't do anything. He runs away.

She never really looked at

me the same way after that.

Listen, the point is, I didn't do sh*t.

And after that trip, I, I

stopped traveling with her

because I couldn't f*cking protect her.

(hand thudding)

(feet shuffling)

The day we came out here,

I was bitching about

the weather and whatnot.

And she threw that night

in Sicily in my face.

And you wanna know what she said to me?

"Diego would've done something."

I was like, "What the f*ck

are you talking about?

What does he, what, what,

what does he have to do with this?"

That's when she told me.

So what am I supposed to say?

Did you love her?

(brooding music continues)

(engine puttering)

(wind rustling)

[Joseph] Hey, do you

mind pulling over, man?

Want to get on the back

real quick, get some shots.

Seriously?

[Joseph] Yeah, it'll be cool inserts.

Hey, Diego, switch with me.

[Diego] Sure, no problem.

[Joseph] A lot more room back here.

(engine puttering)

(wind rustling)

Whoa, who the hell's this guy?

(engine roaring)

Whoa, this guy's getting

way too close, man.

[Diego] What's going on?

(engine roaring)

(dramatic music)

[Joseph] Oh, dang.

[Diego] Why doesn't he

just go around?

- Dude, move back.

Oh, my God.

- sh*t.

This guy's getting really close.

Cameron, can you go any faster?

(engine roaring)

Yo, what's your problem?

- Uh, Cameron,

get us the f*ck outta here, man.

[Cam] How fast do you

think this thing goes?

[Diego] What the

f*ck? He's gonna hit us.

[Joseph] Dude, he's gonna f*cking,

he's gonna f*cking hit us, man.

[Diego] Speed the f*ck up.

Man, this is f*cking bad.

What the f*ck do you want?

[Joseph] Okay, I think we,

I think we lost him, man.

He turned off back there, so.

(item thudding)

What's going on out there?

(item continues thudding)

f*ck.

Jesus.

(item thudding)

(dog barking)

(item thudding)

f*cking hell.

(foot thudding)

(crickets chirping)

Hey, you, you all right, man?

(food sizzling)

(sighs) sh*t.

(hands rasping)

Well, I guess you got

what you wanted, man.

Your friend's outside hitting

rock bottom right now.

(knife clanking)

Where is he?

[Joseph] He's outside beating

the sh*t out of some tree.

That guy won't answer the phone.

You guys keep going at it.

Man, you're starting to

lose your subject, man.

We might as well pack our

sh*t and just go home.

[Diego] No way.

[Joseph] And you need to

stop walking away from me.

Well, I'm sick of everything

being my f*cking fault.

[Joseph] Well, you need to stop lying

to everybody about everything, man.

Oh, is that what I'm doing?

[Joseph] Yeah, you are.

(Diego laughs)

Why don't you just tell us

how long it went on for,

you and Ana?

Maybe that's the piece of

the story we need to hear.

Fine, I'll tell you if

you turn the camera off.

(food sizzling)

(pensive music continues)

[Joseph] 'Kay, fine,

what? Let's hear it.

I mean, what we had,

it was different, 'kay?

It was just, it's like purely physical.

[Joseph] You literally

told him it was nothing,

though, man, you know?

[Diego] Because it didn't last

'cause we went in, like, head first,

and then it just, it was over immediately.

[Joseph] Yeah, maybe for

you, but what about her?

[Diego] I can't control other people.

[Joseph] Oh, really?

What about that charming

manipulation you use

on people all the time?

- Oh, (laughs) wow.

(mug thudding)

(food continues sizzling)

[Joseph] Did she stop

talking to you, dude?

Is that what happened here?

Is that why you introduced her to Cameron?

[Diego] Oh, (laughs) wow.

[Joseph] Just to make sure

she stayed in your life.

[Diego] Hey, you know what?

Why don't you go f*ck yourself, Dr. Phil?

[Joseph] Dude, if you

wanna protect this friendship

you have with him, and you want this doc

to actually turn out,

you might wanna consider not

making this sh*t so personal.

[Diego] (laughs) How can

I not make it personal?

(knife thudding and rasping)

I can't believe that he's, like,

f*cking making me feel this way.

You know, f*ck Cameron, man.

(door squeaking)

(food sizzling)

(brooding music)

Mm.

[Cam] This is what you wanted, right?

- You're really-

- Go ahead.

Outta your mind, Cameron.

Like-

I'm outta my mind?

Really, like, certified,

genuinely out of your mind.

You wanna know something?

You never had my back.

Throughout this entire f*cking

trip, you never had my back.

Well, I feel sorry for you.

You only asked us to come on this trip

because you were too

chicken sh*t to come alone.

And then you throw that ancient history

in my f*cking face.

(brooding music continues)

Yeah, I did throw that

ancient history in your face

because you're a f*cking

manipulative as*h*le,

and all you care about

is your f*cking self.

You ever think that maybe

she was on another level?

You held her back.

And I hope you feel guilty about that.

Actually, I know you do.

[Joseph] Come on, Diego. Stop, man.

[Diego] Because we saw

that little video of yours.

I doubt that bleeding makes guilt go away.

(door clattering)

(body thudding)

[Joseph] Whoa, whoa, Cameron, Cameron.

Remember, remember why

we came out here, man.

Come on.

It's not worth it.

I don't want you guys' friendship

to be ruined over this.

I'm going alone.

(hands thudding)

(refrigerator clattering)

Yeah, and how do you

expect to k*ll that thing

that you convinced yourself of there?

[Joseph] You know, this might

be the perfect opportunity

just to pack our stuff up

and get outta here, man.

- What, and let him just go?

- Yeah.

Go and take a charter plane back

in the middle of the f*cking night?

No, man, he's a liability.

You really wanna be responsible

if anything happens to him?

Just let me f*cking handle this.

(crickets chirping)

(door squeaking and clattering)

[Joseph] Hey, we good man

or what? What's going on?

Yeah, I talked his

crazy a*s down, all right?

He's not gonna go alone, so

grab your sh*t, and let's go.

(engine puttering)

Joseph, turn that camera

down, or turn it off, dude.

[Joseph] There's no such

thing as turning it down, man.

Do you think I'll break my foot

if I punt that camera into the ocean?

[Joseph] I don't know.

Dude, what the f*ck are

we even doing out here?

I'm really sick of this, man.

[Joseph] Yeah, I know, me too.

Dude, I am not

going in there.

- Where are you going now?

[Joseph] I am not going in these woods.

(pensive music)

Well, we have to stick

together, so come on.

Just watch the camera, please.

[Joseph] I do not

wanna go in these woods.

Yeah.

(Joseph grunting)

Dude, I said watch the camera.

(feet shuffling)

(crickets chirping)

- Joe.

- What?

- Turn that camera off.

- What?

- No, the camera stays on.

- Shut up, Diego.

Joe, turn the f*cking camera off now.

[Joseph] (sighs) Are

you f*cking kidding me?

(switch clicking)

(waves lapping)

[Diego] You're still rolling, right?

- Yeah, we're still rolling.

- Good, 'cause this is gold.

Dude, we're trespassing,

[Joseph] Man, we shouldn't be out here.

[Diego] Yeah, why don't

we come in the daytime

and get some f*cking B roll?

(feet shuffling)

(mysterious growl)

Wait, did you hear that?

[Joseph] What do you f*cking mean?

Of course, I heard that.

Dude, Cameron, come on, man.

We don't know what the

f*ck's in these woods, man.

We need to get the f*ck

outta here, for real.

(Joseph sighs)

(crickets chirping)

So tired, man, I just wanna go back.

[Diego] Me too.

Feels like we're walking for miles.

sh*t, wait, we need to stay together.

[Joseph] Where the hell's he going?

[Diego] Who the f*ck knows?

[Joseph] Okay, I need to

turn this light back on.

I can't see anything.

- Yeah, turn it back on.

[Joseph] Where the hell's the switch?

[Diego] Oh, f*ck.

[Joseph] You guys, I'm not

staying out in this sh*t.

- He's out of his-

- Seriously,

I'm heading back.

- f*cking mind.

Whoa.

- Whoa, what the f*ck?

(static hissing)

Manuel.

That's Manuel?

[Joseph] Dude, I don't know.

So over this sh*t, man.

Are you trying to get some k*lled, man?

What's the matter with you?

Dude, you're supposed to be helping me.

What are you doing?

I just did. Now let's go.

No, no, no, no, no, I'm

not going anywhere with you.

I've been try to contact you all trip.

[Joseph] How the f*ck did

you even know we were out here?

I've been following you.

Okay, he saw me.

[Joseph] I f*cking knew it, dude,

I f*cking knew it.

- Yeah, but you didn't tell

me anything.

- Yeah, I was at the house.

You've been following us?

(creature panting)

What's the f*ck is that?

[Manuel] What's out there k*lled Ana.

Of course, you don't understand.

You guys don't understand.

See, these guys have been going at it

for 20 f*cking minutes, dude.

Okay, the American

military, they came in here,

and they took advantage of us.

They destroyed our land,

high levels of uranium

in the water and soil,

animals and sea life dead.

Our people were exposed.

So let me get this straight.

The Navy comes in here,

f*ck this place up by testing bombs,

and now there are these, uh, people

or, uh, things that are hiding?

Surviving.

Okay, some say that they are

the apex predators of this

island, but they're our lineage.

And you're just some

government-funded vigilant

that's, what, protecting them?

Not protecting them, protecting you.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Okay, I've seen what they can do.

I've also seen what they can do.

Oh, so you can confirm Cameron's claim?

Yes, I can.

You lied to me.

The only way I could

protect you from yourself

from making some stupid mistake

is to get you to trust me.

What about Ana?

That thing f*cking k*lled her, man.

It f*cking k*lled her.

What about her, huh?

Collateral damage.

(Diego grunting)

Collateral damage, get the f*ck up.

Cameron get the f*ck off me.

- Go away, Diego.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

Collateral damage?

- Hey, put that f*cking

knife away.

- Collateral damage?

Stop, Cameron, stop.

That was you the other night, wasn't it,

f*cking with us?

f*ck, man, stop.

I was watching you, okay,

hoping you would just leave,

hoping you would just

- Make us leave?

- Yes, give up and go home.

I asked for your help, and

you expect us to f*cking leave?

Are you f*cking serious? What

the f*ck is wrong with you?

You have no idea what you're doing.

You're right. I don't know

what the f*ck I'm doing.

But you wanna know something, Manuel?

I don't give a sh*t.

I don't care where this thing came from.

I don't care how strong it f*cking is.

I'm gonna go f*cking k*ll

it, and you're gonna help me.

You wanna know why?

[Joseph] Cameron, careful with that

Shut up.

You gave me your f*cking word.

That's why.

My word? What the

- Don't.

- Okay, okay.

[Diego] Whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Get that sh*t away from his neck, man.

Yeah, okay.

- I'm f*cking serious, man.

- Okay.

I'll f*cking do it.

Okay, (speaking Spanish).

Are you gonna help me?

Look, man, you can force my hand,

but whatever happens, that's on you.

I wanna show you something, okay?

You wanna show me something?

Let me show you something.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

Move f*cking slow. You understand?

Okay, okay.

If you drink this, there's no coming back.

What is that?

- Blood.

- (laughs) Guess what.

That could be f*cking

poison for all we know.

It is poison. It will change things.

You also won't survive without it.

(static hissing)

One morning, Father and I,

we came back from fishing,

and we saw one of them eating our horses,

our livelihood.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

So I did, and he shot at it,

but that didn't do nothing.

So he went after it with a

machete, and you know what?

My father died protecting us.

Cameron, I watched my father die.

Get the f*ck away from me, man.

My grandfather, he was a man of science,

and he tested the blood.

Consuming the smallest

amount made him transform

into that thing that he swore to k*ll.

(Diego speaking Spanish)

[Diego] Cameron, this

is a bunch of bullshit.

I watched my grandfather

walk into the rainforest.

Okay?

I heard the fight.

I heard them tearing each other apart.

Look, I don't know who survived.

All I know is that our

horses were never hurt again.

That's the last time I saw my grandfather.

I've been on this land since then

taking care of people just like you,

tourists, soldiers from

this area where he dwells,

the same area where Ana died.

Guys, just go home.

Cameron, you don't wanna

do this, man. Just go home.

(knife clanking)

I want that thing around

your neck. I want that blood.

[Diego] Good f*cking story,

if you're gonna let him drink this sh*t...

Give it to me.

[Diego] Oh, count me out.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

[Diego] Cameron, you drink

that, it's your funeral.

And don't forget how far the

f*cking hospital is from here.

[Joseph] Dude, whatever happens

to him is on your a*s now.

(hand knocking)

Cameron, come on. Can, can

you please just come out?

Man, you can't just hide

in there. You know what?

I've been up for 20 hours.

You've been up for 20 hours.

I mean, I'm not thinking straight.

I know you're not thinking straight.

So why don't you just come out,

and let's just talk

about this, man, please.

Oh, man, why does he just

open the f*cking door, bro?

Will you open the f*cking door?

f*ck, well, I don't know.

He probably drank it.

(door squeaking)

Did you drink it?

Yeah, it's f*cking empty. See?

You accuse him of lying, yet

you drink that sh*t, man.

We don't even know what it was.

I already told you.

When did you drink it?

10 minutes ago.

(brooding music)

(Manuel laughing)

God, we need to go now.

[Diego] We're not

going anywhere with you.

Listen, we don't have

time for this, okay?

[Joseph] Don't have time for what?

I already told you. He's going to turn.

(Cam groaning)

Uh, guys, uh, uh, we

got a situation back here.

(Cam groaning)

[Cam] How much, how much further?

Uh, close.

(engine roaring)

(Cam groaning)

Oh, this is a really bad idea.

I mean, man, you, you're driving.

You got us chasing God knows f*cking what.

And then he drank that sh*t,

and it's gonna f*cking mess with his head.

I mean, will it?

You don't understand. Do you?

Oh, f*ck this sh*t.

Let me out of the jeep

now. We'll just walk back.

I don't give a f*ck,

and then you take Cameron

to the f*cking hospital.

[Manuel] It's too late for that.

[Joseph] f*ck, Diego, what the f*ck

are you even talking about?

We're not getting out here.

I don't want anything to do with that.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

It's okay.

It's okay.

(Cam whimpering)

(seat belt clanking)

[Diego] Where are we? What

are we doing here, man?

f*ck, okay, okay, okay.

Hey, hey.

(door clattering)

No, what do we do, huh? What do we do now?

What is this?

- Yeah, according to me

- What? Oh, sh*t.

- Hey, you.

[Manuel] Listen to me.

- What?

- Pick up his legs.

- Why?

Look, unless you wanna

die, pick up his legs.

We gotta pick him to the beach,

and then we have to leave him.

[Diego] No, no, no. I'm

gonna stay right here.

We should stay here

because I don't know, man.

Look, I just

I don't care what you're

thinking. Stop thinking, okay?

Look at him.

- Please.

He's changing.

- Oh.

- Diego.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

[Joseph] No, no, man, no,

no, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey, we're listening, we're listening.

We're listening, dude.

- We're listening.

- Come on, man.

- We're listening.

- Please.

(hand thudding)

[Diego] Okay, fine.

[Manuel] Pick up his legs. Help me.

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

Just keep it rolling, okay?

Oh, God.

What are we doing? Where are we going?

Right here (speaking Spanish).

f*ck. (Grunts)

(Manuel speaking Spanish)

- We're, we can't just leave

him like this.

We have to. Let's go.

[Diego] Get the f*ck off me.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

- Hey, Cameron!

[Joseph] Diego, no, no.

Gotta get the f*ck outta here.

(Monstrous hissing)
