(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Well, hello.

How are you, pretty lady?

I didn't think I'd see anybody up here.

Well, then I would never

neglect a fine lookin' lady.

(EERIE MUSIC)

(PROSPECTOR GRUNTING)

No, no (GRUNTS).

Get off me (SCREAMS)!

(EERIE MUSIC)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

REPORTER: Topping the news today,

two murders and a robbery

in less than 24 hours.

Residents are in a panic

after a g*n battle erupts on their street.

One person was k*lled and

four others are hospitalized.

Charlie, this isn't working.

You have to make more money.

CHARLIE: Carol, you know I'm on salary.

I know that, I know that,

but you have to something,

consulting, a night job, something.

You know I can't.

Maybe you could, if you would stop

going on those expeditions

of yours every five minutes.

REPORTER: Might be

related to the robbery.

The remaining suspects are still at large.

CAROL: We need more.

REPORTER: They're in their

early 20s or late teens,

with dark hair.

CHARLIE: I'm working on it.

REPORTER: 210 to 220 pounds.

They are considered armed and dangerous.

If you've seen either suspect,

or have any information that can help.

(PEN THUDS)

WOMAN: No!

MAN: What do you mean leave you alone?

WOMAN: I don't wanna talk to you!

MAN: What're you talking about?

WOMAN: I don't care anymore!

I just don't care anymore!

MAN: Well, maybe I just don't care.

WOMAN: No, now leave me alone!

I don't care about this place!

MAN: Yeah, I know you don't.

Look, I don't wanna work all day,

I come in here and look at this place.

WOMAN: I work, I work.

I vacuum, I try, I cleaned the windows!

I do what I can!

MAN: You don't wanna do nothing.

You work on your hair is what you work on.

WOMAN: Well then, I

don't care about that!

MAN: You work on, you

work on buying your clothes.

WOMAN: Look, I have to look

good if I go out in public!

MAN: Who are you gonna look good for?

You don't have to look good for me?

WOMAN: I don't know!

MAN: I'm the only one

that matters around here.

WOMAN: Yeah, I matter too!

I don't know why.

MAN: I don't know why I married you.

WOMAN: I don't care.

I'm sick of cooking in this kitchen.

I cook something, you're like, it's lousy.

I feel like a sl*ve!

I can't leave the house!

I can't do anything!

This will be brief, Charles,

because I'm gonna be honest with you.

Frankly, Mr. Donavan,

you're not worthy of tenure,

and are likely to be gone

before the end of the year.

Sir, sir, I don't, I don't think

that's a fair evaluation at, at all, I...

How old are you now?

35, sir.

Then you're old enough to know

that fair is a subjective term

used only by students and amateurs.

Sir, I feel like

within the next few weeks

I'm gonna be able to put on your desk...

It's right here in black and white.

Your presentations are minimal.

You have virtually no awards or honors.

Your professional development

has basically been ignored.

When this goes out to the referees,

they will recommend that you are gone.

When the department votes on your tenure,

they will recommend that you are gone,

and when this crosses my desk,

I will recommend that you are gone.

And, Charles, in 31 years,

the provost has never reversed

one of my recommendations.

You will not be tenured.

Charles, I'm having this

conversation with you

as a matter of courtesy.

In all honesty, I felt

you had great potential,

but it just has not come to fruition here.

This just may not be a good fit for you.

If you can put something

on here within 30 days

that shows you are worthwhile,

there may be a chance.

Otherwise, I'm telling you this now,

so that you can start to

look for something else

before the end of the year.

Good luck, Charles.

Son of a b*tch.

Hey, Jared.

JARED: Hey, Lia.

CHARLIE: All right,

guys, let's bring it in.

KATIE'S MOM: Take this.

Okay, okay, gotta go.

CHARLIE: Bring it in, guys.

WILL: (sighs) sh*t, man, here we go.

Come on, come on, bring it in.

All right, does everybody got everything?

Boots, tools, flashlight?

Lia, you know we're not gonna

have any cell phone service

within like 80 miles of

where we're going, right?

Oh, well, I guess I could

take pictures with it.

Now, any artifacts we find

will be property of the university,

because they're funding this expedition.

Now, as expedition leader,

I'm gonna be accredited

with any significant

discoveries, of course.

Of course.

Well, that hardly seems

worth going then, does it?

Well, I don't, I don't know, William.

Is it worth saving your failing grades?

(CHASE CHUCKLES)

All right, let's get this

show on the road, shall we?

Now, we're gonna be stopping

20 miles outside of the preserve

to gas up and get drinks and stuff.

Keep that in mind, guys.

Professor, you wanna

ride in the back by me?

Ah, (CLEARS THROAT) you know,

I think I'm gonna sit up front with Renee,

but uh, I've gotta give

directions and stuff there,

but, but thanks.

♪ A shadow right around,

around your pretty face ♪

Christ, how much further is it?

Didn't he say that we

were gonna stop for gas?

I need a Coke.

RENEE: Or a beer.

Or a case of beer.

Renee, let's get Katie drunk tonight.

We're all in the wilderness.

We can get naked and howl at the moon.

RENEE: What?

I am not getting naked.

♪ Can I stay as long as I please ♪

♪ Just to see you

tomorrow in the sunlight ♪

CHARLIE: Chase.

CHASE: Yo.

There's a store up here on

your right, less than a mile.

Pull in there.

Ladies, you still with us?

As much as they ever were.

♪ The sun is shining ♪

♪ The sun is shining ♪

♪ All around, around,

around your pretty face ♪

♪ Around, around, around, around ♪

♪ Around, around, around, around ♪

You coming?

Um, no, I, I don't think so.

Okay, want something to drink?

Sure, root beer.

That'll be 18.16.

Wow, really?

Greed is its own punishment.

Um, thank you.

RENEE: Mm hmm.

CHASE: Hey, let's

ditch Professor Dickweed.

CHARLIE: Come on, Chase, Jesus Christ.

(CHASE LAUGHING)

Unlock the door.

Hey, man, I'm, I'm sorry.

I didn't even realize, don't fail me.

All right Chase,

you're right at the f*ck' line.

Just drive, don't say

sh*t until we get there.

Hello, sir, I'm Professor Donavan.

You should be expecting us.

ABE: Abe, these are you.

Mess hall is behind us.

Showers are over there.

Thanks.

Which one's ours?

You pick.

Oh, man, hey, what

happened to your face?

Dude!

It's okay.

No, seriously, did you like

tangle with a grizzly bear?

There are things more deadly

than the wildlife up here.

What're you like afraid

of Bigfoot or something?

Hey, man, I, sorry.

RENEE: Mine.

LIA: Is that a bug?

CHASE: Hey, Will,

check this out (chuckles).

Dude.

My, oh, my, wherever did you acquire

such a valuable skill, man.

CHASE: I use to spend summers

at my uncle's ranch when I was a kid.

WILL: Yeah, okay.

Hey, fellas, school's

provided two meals a day.

Now, we're gonna have

dinner here in about an hour

over at the mess hall.

Breakfast is gonna be tomorrow

morning at seven a.m. sharp.

Oh, hey, what about lunch?

They're not providing lunch?

We're gonna be on the mountain, Chase.

There's not catering, here.

(WILL CHUCKLES)

WILL: Come on.

All right, it's a short hike from here

to the base of the mountain.

Right on the trail apparently.

Now we're gonna leave here

at 7:30 tomorrow morning

after having had breakfast.

On this side of the mountain

is a well known cave

with fairly easy access.

We're gonna stay together

until that point.

What?

Now, the artifacts that

we're gonna be looking for

are gonna be buried in or near a ravine

that was marked by a horseshoe

nailed to a cottonwood tree

next to another tree

with 12 b*llet holes in a tight cluster.

Now, these markings were

created in the winter of 1876,

so they're gonna be

fairly grown over by now,

and they should stand somewhere

between eight and 10 feet off the ground.

So, we're looking for a horseshoe then?

CHARLIE: A donkey shoe technically.

Wait, um, stay together

until that point?

What do you mean?

We need to cover the entire mountaintop,

so we're gonna search everywhere

above the entrance of the cave.

So, to do that effectively,

we're gonna need to split up,

and then we're gonna meet

back here before dark.

Everyone get a good night's sleep.

You're gonna need it.

We're splitting up?

Mm, I think I'll grab

my shower tonight then.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Okay, I'll see you guys in the morning.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

RENEE: Not bad.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(DOOR THUDS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(HEELS THUDDING)

(RENEE GASPS)

(RENEE SIGHS)

(RENEE GROANS)

There was no service

for the last 20 miles coming up here, Lia.

So.

All right, guys, this way.

It's up there on your right.

All right, this is the

only trail to the cave.

That's where we begin.

Not cool.

It's pretty cool.

RENEE: Real nice, Will.

Okay, we can rest here

for a couple of minutes.

Then we gotta get started.

(STUDENTS CHATTERING)

WILL: Have you ever

seen one of those before?

Hey, Will, do you know I was

having a conversation, yeah?

So, let's have, Lia,

let's have you and Chase,

let's have you guys go over

to the east side of the mountain.

Now, that's gonna be to your right

as you exit the cave, okay?

William, let's have you and Allison

go over to the west side.

Now, that's gonna be to your

left as you exit the cave.

Renee.

What do you think about being

my personal assistant today?

Maybe for some extra credit?

I sure could use some

help with all these maps.

Professor Donavan, we

can't leave Katie on her own.

Oh, oh, yeah, um, Katie, you and uh,

you and Renee search the immediate area,

and uh, and then go directly

to the top of the mountain.

I'm gonna search just over

the back side of the top.

Now, we all have our assignments.

If anyone finds anything,

come to the top of the mountain

and find me immediately.

Otherwise, meet me back

down at the camp tonight.

Oh, and uh, be sure to

get off the mountain

before it gets too dark.

(EERIE MUSIC)

RENEE: (grunts) sh*t.

You okay?

Fine (SIGHS).

You shouldn't have worn shorts, Renee.

Probably not, it's

good for my grade though.

What did you say?

I didn't say anything.

What did you mean though.

What does wearing shorts

have to do with your grade?

Really, how do you?

Oh, oh, sweetie (CHUCKLES).

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(DEMONIC WHISPERING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(DEMONIC WHISPERING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

How much longer before

it gets dark I wonder.

Sooner than later.

What the hell does that mean?

Let's keep moving.

ALLISON: I don't feel good.

Probably just not used to the altitude.

Probably need some food and maybe rest.

Once you get used to the, Allison?

Allison, Allison.

What?

You've got a nosebleed.

ALLISON: That's weird.

All right, let's head back to camp then.

(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC)

(GRUNTING) Good God, Allison (GRUNTING).

ALLISON: I'm not even

that heavy, come on.

Where's Professor Donavan?

He's not back yet.

Why, do you miss him?

Wasn't he the one saying to get back

before it gets dark, dumbass.

(ANIMAL SCREECHING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Dinner in 30 minutes.

What's with him?

What an odd dude.

I guess I'll grab my shower.

WILL: Thanks for sharing.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(DOOR THUDS)

(HEELS THUDDING)

Hello?

Is someone in here?

(HEELS THUDDING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

That smells really good.

Do you need any help?

Thanks, no.

What're you staring at?

Where did you get that?

What?

Where did you get that?

It's mine, I found it in the.

CHASE: Is there any beer left?

Where you going?

I'm making a plate for Professor Donavan

for when he comes back.

ALLISON: Suck up.

LIA: Hey, you got

any of that COOP left?

WILL: Yeah.

LIA: Hand me a DNR, would ya?

And with that, I bid you

all adieu until tomorrow.

(ALLISON GIGGLING)

Woo!

CHASE: Katie.

Hey.

You want a beer?

I'm good.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

(WILL GROANING)

Damn, baby, you

should've said something.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(WILL SCREAMING)

CHASE: Did you have a

bad dream there, buddy?

No, Allison, she, she.

ALLISON: I think somebody

can't handle his liquor.

All right, hey, come on, brother.

Hey, back to bed.

Hey, sleep it off, sleep

if off, sleep it off.

A hot f*ck' mess.

My God.

You know, me too, it's getting late.

What about the Professor?

He's probably camped out in some cave,

jerking off to an inscription

found on the wall.

Anyone check his cabin?

Which one is his, I wonder?

(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC)

(DOOR CREAKING)

(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC)

Professor?

Charles?

I saved you some food.

(EERIE MUSIC)

(ALLISON GASPS)

(EERIE MUSIC)

Hey, guys.

RENEE: Hey.

Professor Donavan's not here?

He stayed out all night.

Dude, it looks like you

two stayed out all night.

(CHUCKLES) Clever girl.

I had some f*cked up dreams.

He stayed out on the mountain all night?

Yeah.

What the hell?

I thought that they were gonna

provide us with breakfast.

Breakfast isn't ready.

Where's that old Indian dude?

KATIE: Abe?

CHASE: Huh?

His name is Abe.

Yeah, Abe, whatever.

Isn't he the one that's

supposed to be taken care of us?

I'm starving.

He got all weird last night

and just took off somewhere.

Got weird, really?

Well, weirder than usual.

No, guys, he's really

sweet to cook for us, and...

It's his damn job.

He gets to live here for free.

He gets paid to look after the place

and cook for his guests.

He should be looking after us,

not just take off without a word.

Totally not cool.

Man, I gotta eat something.

Maybe there's some Pop-Tarts in there.

I'm sure that when he saw the

Professor wasn't coming back

he figured screw it, why wake

up early, nobody's watching.

Hell, he probably got liquored

up worse than you two.

You guys aren't worried

about the Professor?

You don't think it's strange

he stayed out all night?

What if something happened to him?

Like what?

I don't now.

He could be hurt or lost up there.

Really, Professor Dora the Explorer?

Seems unlikely, this whole

expedition was his idea.

He bullied us into coming

with him for a grade.

He lives for this sh*t.

Well, maybe Abe went to go look for him.

(DOOR CREAKING)

Then why ain't he back yet

cooking us our breakfast?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You wanna go swimming or something?

No, not really, no.

I don't wanna be off having fun

when the Professor gets back.

If I fail another class, I'm screwed.

I'm sure he expects us to

already be up on the mountain

looking for that damn horseshoe

on a tree or whatever.

I'm bored as hell just sitting here.

Let's do something.

Maybe we should call the police.

That's not what I meant.

Couldn't call anyway.

There's no phone lines or

reception out here, remember?

Well, then we should

go to the nearest town.

Seriously, guys, Professor Donavan and Abe

have been gone all night.

We can't just sit here and wait.

What if something happened to them?

Look, Katie, it's cool

that you're concerned and everything,

but it would take half a day

to get to the nearest town,

wherever the hell that is,

and by the time we got to file a report

and bring anyone back,

the whole day would be gone,

if they even believe us.

I don't know.

Maybe we should do something.

Preferably not hang out at

the cop shop all day though.

I say we just chill

here till he gets back.

I'm still kind of hungover.

I didn't sleep well either.

I kept dreaming I was

hearing music all night.

We can't just sit here and

act like everything's normal.

We should go into town.

Professor Donavan has the keys.

Oh, good God.

Dude!

Dude, hey, whatcha doing?

I'm gonna go look

for Professor Dickweed.

Then I'm going too.

I mean, I don't really

wanna look like an as*h*le

when you guys find him without me.

Guys, what about the police, seriously?

RENEE: Katie.

Maybe we can find the keys

to Abe's truck or we could um...

RENEE: Katie.

You coming?

Okay.

(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC)

Morning, Deirdre.

Morning, Lonny.

RENEE: We should've brought some water.

ALLISON: You think?

RENEE: Will, where are you going?

Well, logically we

start at the first cave,

and then go from there.

If in fact, he's not

already there that is.

Can you find it again?

I don't get it.

What?

The path, it just disappeared.

Yesterday there was a path here

that led to the entrance of the cave,

and now it just doesn't exist.

Did you just get us lost

in the mountains, seriously?

No, I'm telling you,

there was a path like

stairsteps here yesterday.

I know what I'm doing.

Okay, the cave is right

above us halfway to the top.

Don't you guys remember?

Look at this sh*t.

So, what do you wanna do, go back?

CHASE: I guess we must've

wandered off the trail.

I didn't wander off the

f*ck' trail, damn it.

It's just gone.

Isn't that it?

Yeah.

Weird.

(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC)

CHASE: At least we beat the rain.

Now what?

We wait out the rain,

then we keep moving.

(THUNDER CRASHING)

(LIGHT PIANO MUSIC)

What's that?

DEIRDRE: A note from Crazy

Abe up at the campground.

More of that voodoo

medicine man crap I reckon.

Says some kids found a piece of jewelry

belonging to Belle Starr.

Well, I guess he'd know.

Not some missing Jesse James treasure.

Nope, just Belle.

Poor b*stard.

That Abe's a sweet fella.

He just ain't never been

the same since the accident.

Accident (LAUGHING)?

No, no, it was her ghost

attacked him treasure hunting.

Don't you forget that.

I always figured it was just the peyote.

He got too f*cked up and fell

face first on the boulders.

Well, I wish the hell

they'd find all that money,

so they can quit looking.

Leave us the hell alone.

Hey, Lonny?

Yeah?

He says there's a professor of some kind

didn't come in off the

mountain last night.

God, damn it, see what I mean?

So, I guess I'll go up

there after lunch today.

See what the hell Abe's hollering about.

God, damn it, son of a b*tch.

(EERIE MUSIC)

(CHUCKLES) I guess the stereo type

has some basis in reality.

Huh?

Native Americans and

liquor, a drunken Indian.

Oh yeah, I've heard that one before.

Go wake him up.

He can help us look.

Yeah, go wake the

drunk sleeping on a rock

in the middle of the day.

Yeah, that'll end well.

Really, Will?

Hey!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(ALLISON SCREAMING)

WILL: What's wrong, are you okay?

RENEE: Oh, f*ck.

KATIE: Oh, God.

What the f*ck are you doing?

CHASE: I'm gonna check his pulse.

Ew, no.

He could still be alive.

Chase, Chase.

What happened to him?

Well, I think that's fairly obvious.

He passed out drunk in the

night and something ate him,

like a bear of a big cat.

We need to get off the mountain.

We need to go get help.

Help, help, we can't help him.

Look at this.

You wanna leave Donavan up

here with whatever did that?

He's right, we're already up here.

We should just find him

and tell him about this.

We can't leave him alone

up here to be eaten too.

At least then he'd

quit staring at my t*ts.

Oh, my God, Lia, shut up.

Old Tonto here was passed out drunk

like an invitation to a buffet.

We're waking around in broad daylight.

As long as we're in

groups of two or three,

nothing's gonna f*ck with us.

I don't think it's safe.

ALLISON: Of course you don't.

Look, the sooner we find the Professor,

the sooner we can all go home.

Couldn't we just go home now,

and let the cops worry

about the Professor?

No, he's got a point.

Plus, we're already guaranteed

an A after all this sh*t.

You guys.

Look, Katie, if you wanna go back down

you can by yourself.

I'm sure the Professor

would love to hear it

when we find him.

What're you thinking?

Just checking it out.

Hey.

See, you guys, I told you.

There's no blood.

There's no mess.

There's nothing broken or torn.

He's probably somewhere geeking out

about a historical marker or something.

CHASE: So, where is he then?

He's probably close.

I doubt he'd wander far

without his geek Bible.

Probably went to pee behind a bush.

Well, he didn't head

back down the mountain,

or else we would've seen him.

Unless he went to the

West side by the lake.

There's a lake?

Yeah, down the base,

through the woods I think.

Maybe someone should go check there.

I don't mind.

CHASE: I better go with her.

All right, let's see what we got here.

Man, that was some weird sh*t.

I never saw a dead body before.

At least something finally

happened on this dull a*s trip.

Hey, he seemed like a

nice enough old dude,

but I don't know him from Jack so.

So, that didn't freak

you out a little bit?

I was scared shitless up there.

Well, I can honestly say

it did get my blood pumping a little.

Oh hey, this is nice.

Yeah, I wonder why no one's around?

The season's over remember?

The school made a deal with the state

so we could be here after their closed.

Right.

Looks like we have the

place to ourselves then.

Ha, no password.

I wonder what's in this thing?

RENEE: Probably pictures of me.

If he walks up here and catches you

digging through his sh*t, you're screwed.

So keep watch for me.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Where you going?

CHASE: To take a leak.

Shy?

CHASE: Polite.

Okay.

CHASE: No, I need to

grab a cigarette too.

Now, that's cliche.

Hey, I wonder if the others

are having as much fun as we are?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

This is Lonny to base, come in.

This is base, Lonny, go ahead.

Deirdre, did you ever hear

anything back from old Abe?

Not a thing since this morning, hon.

Okay, I guess you're

gonna need to go ahead

and call the South base.

Get a couple of guys up here.

Looks like we may have

a search and rescue.

Roger that, Lonny.

Whatever happened with Abe?

I don't know, couldn't tell you.

His truck's here, but he's not here.

No one else is for that matter.

(LAUGHING) Ow wow, that's classic.

What, what happened?

That old f*ck.

This was never a historical expedition.

This was a treasure hunt the entire time.

He was using us to hunt gold.

Dude, where'd you even get that from?

It's all over his notes.

Apparently, he's looking for gold

that was left up here in 1873

when the James g*ng got

caught in a blizzard.

There's money involved?

Apparently, about two

million bucks in today's money.

You know, that explains a lot.

A lot about what?

I never said anything,

because I figured he

was just full of sh*t,

but he said that after this trip,

he was gonna leave his wife,

and wanted me to go with him to Italy.

Bullshit, that's not true.

Of course it is, he said

that after this trip...

You're a f*cking liar!

Why would I lie about that?

I was already screwing him anyway.

(FIST THUDS)

(RENEE GRUNTS)

You're not f*cking

going anywhere with him!

You got it?

(FIST THUDS)

(ALLISON GRUNTS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(FISTS THUDDING)

WILL: Ooh.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

KATIE: Hey, hey.

WILL: Damn.

RENEE: It's all right, I'm okay

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(URINE SPLASHING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(URINE SPLASHING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(URINE SPLASHING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Hey, you hungry?

I got an energy bar!

Lia!

Seriously, Allison, what the hell?

Everyone knows what a horndog Donavan is.

Did you think you were the only one?

He said that he was gonna

work sh*t out with his wife

when he broke up with me.

He takes up with this freak?

b*tch, I will flat out f*ck you up.

Guys, guys, come on.

This is not good for anyone.

She's right, you two can

figure out who's trespassing

when we get home.

The emphasis on the

part about getting home.

So, according to Donavan's notes

the James g*ng stole a bunch of gold

from a Mexican mule train,

then came out here to hide.

Why would anyone come

to this lifeless rock pile to hide out?

It says here that Cole Younger

had an ongoing thing with

a woman named Belle Starr.

Lived a couple miles from here,

knew the area pretty well.

Apparently, they never made it back

to make a withdraw from their stash.

So, Professor Donavan would

be famous if he found it.

I call him Charles.

Go to hell.

Oh my God, would you both stop.

What makes you think

he would tell anyone?

That's why he's using students.

As soon as anyone found anything,

he would've dumped us

back home and gone solo.

So where is he now I wonder?

Counting his gold maybe.

Something's not right.

He wouldn't have left all

his stuff just lying here.

We need to find him.

He could be hurt.

ALLISON: Or rich.

WILL: Allison, where are you going?

To be alone, away from this b*tch.

(WILL SIGHS)

Hey (SIGHS).

Look, for what it's worth,

I'm sorry about the thing with Renee.

I hear Donavan's got a

new freshman every year.

She doesn't even really care about him.

You can see it in her eyes.

She's just screwing him,

because she thinks it's

cool and edgy or some sh*t.

Well, you can call him

out on it when we find him.

He can kiss my a*s!

In fact I don't know why we're

even looking for the b*stard!

I say we just leave him up here.

We can go sit and wait.

Still make him share whatever he finds.

Well, clearly he would deny

having found anything on his own

and just come back later.

I guess so.

I didn't get much out of this damn trip.

Damn it, God, can

somebody just k*ll me now

and get it over with?

Well, you're right about one thing.

This whole f*cked up weekend

definitely wasn't worth the trouble.

If I had to do it all over again,

I would just fail the course,

and forego the whole dead Indian,

missing professor bullshit.

But I suppose that'll be over with soon

when we find the Professor.

Hell, he's probably

already back at the camp.

Why don't you come on back?

Not yet, maybe in a minute.

Yeah, okay, okay.

To hell with this.

I'm not gonna just sit here on my a*s

waiting to see if he's coming back or not.

He likely ditched us

for a reason, Renee.

Listen, you two head east.

Me and Allison will check

on the top and the center.

If he's found anything,

we'll let him know in no uncertain terms

that we're onto his little scheme.

He can't cut us out.

Either way you two head

back to the first cave

before meeting at the campground.

Yeah, whatever, come on.

Deirdre, what's going on with my help?

Did you ever call the South Base?

I sure did, Lonny.

They're sending a guy.

Said they'd be there in about an hour.

Jesus.

Hold it, wait a minute.

You said a guy, as in one person?

Are you sh1tting me?

Wouldn't sh*t my favorite turd, Lonny.

They said one guy, be

there in about an hour.

Lia!

Lia!

Come on, where'd you go, baby?

Quit f*ck' around now.

This isn't funny.

Couldn't wait five minutes for me, b*tch?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

what the hell did I do with that rope?

Oh, screw it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Lia, Lia, wait up!

Baby, it's not safe for you alone.

You could slip and fall.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Lia?

as*h*le, God, you lying f*cking as*h*le!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(ALLISON GASPING AND SCREAMING)

No, no, no, no!

(BODY THUDS)

Allison, Allison!

Allison, if you quit

now, I won't be sharing.

Chickenshit.

Renee, please, we've

gotta get somebody to help.

Okay, something's not right.

You've gotta know that.

You can say that again.

I can't believe Charles was ever with

that greedy, little gold digger.

No, I mean with Abe dead

and the Professor missing.

He's not missing, Katie.

He'll be back.

20 bucks says he won't leave without me.

You don't understand the

power we have over guys.

Hey.

Hey.

Is Lia with you guys?

RENEE: I thought she was with you?

CHASE: No, she left me behind.

RENEE: What did you do to her?

Nothing she didn't want.

(ROCKS THUDDING)

Ow, sh*t!

KATIE: Oh, my God!

RENEE: Damn, dude!

CHASE: God, ow.

Are you okay?

Ah, I'm okay.

What the f*ck?

(BOULDER THUDS)

(KATIE SCREAMING)

Holy, f*ck' sh*t!

Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God!

Renee, help me!

Chase, Chase!

Did you see that?

How did that happen?

I told you we need to

get off this mountain.

Something's not right.

We need to go get help.

Yeah, yeah, okay.

We'll head to the cave,

and then we'll meet everyone

down at the campground.

Okay.

RENEE: Then we've gotta

go into town for help.

Okay.

Maybe the Indian still has

his keys in his, in his pocket.

Okay.

Katie, this way.

Renee!

What?

Did you see that?

I didn't see anything.

What was it?

There was a woman. There was

a woman standing right there.

She was all messed up.

Come on.

Hi, I'm D.W.

I'm supposed to talk to Lonny.

Well, glad you could

finally make it, D. Dub.

Hell, I was the only one workin'.

Had to do my rounds then

get everything locked up.

So, what's going on?

Something about the caretaker guy?

Don't know, can't find him,

but he did leave us a note

implying that there's a

teacher and some kids up here,

and the teacher never came

off the mountain last night.

What kids?

Exactly, I can't find them either.

Well, hell.

- Should we go take a look?

- Yeah, definitely.

So, what about this caretaker guy?

What about him?

He left you a note?

Yeah, he left a note

down at the Ranger Station

last night some time.

What did it say?

What, it's a secret or something?

Look, you've gotta

take anything Abe says

with a grain of salt.

We don't call him Crazy

Abe for no reason at all.

Back in junior high there was a time

when he didn't show up to

school for about like a month,

and when he did come back,

had that big scar on his face.

He didn't talk much after that,

but when he did talk,

he was spinning these yarns

about the ghost of Belle Starr

and how she attacked

him up on the mountain

when he tried to pick up a souvenir.

He swears she was real.

Nearly tore his face off.

Belle Starr, the bandit

queen from the Old West?

Not the Old West.

She lived the last half

of her life right here,

oh, about four miles over

this mountain right here

to the north.

Yeah, yeah, I've heard of her.

She rode with Jesse James.

No.

D.W.: No?

No, local townfolk believe

she was sleeping with

one of the g*ng members,

one of the Younger

brothers, Cole I believe.

She didn't ride with them.

They were train robbers.

She was a cattle thief.

Oh, okay, so what about the note then?

Abe had indicated in the note

the kids found a piece of jewelry

that he thought belonged to Belle Starr,

and they brought it down

off the mountain with them.

Huh.

Sounds like trouble, doesn't it?

Are you saying it was a ghost?

LONNY: I don't know.

You know that's why

they call him Crazy Abe.

(D.W. CHUCKLES)

I don't believe in ghosts myself.

D.W.: Yeah, me neither.

LONNY: But I'm telling you,

there's some weird sh*t

goes on on this mountain.

D.W.: You're telling me.

(KATIE GASPS)

Renee!

RENEE: What?

KATIE: Renee, come here, come here.

Oh my God, it's Allison.

What the f*ck?

We need to get down there and help her.

We need, we need to bring her back up to...

She's gone.

You wanna just leave her down there

like Abe and Chase, Renee?

She's gone, Katie.

Get it through your head.

We can't help the dead, let's go.

My God, Renee.

What, what, did you think

I wanted her to do this?

I didn't know she would literally

jump off the damn mountain!

I can't help it if she...

KATIE: Renee!

- RENEE: What?

- What if she didn't jump?

We need to go.

Oh, my God.

Come on, we need to go, we need to go.

Professor, we've been

looking everywhere for you.

We found your stuff.

What've you been doing?

Professor?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Oh, sh*t, man, oh, f*ck

me, oh, f*ck me, sh*t!

Poor crazy b*stard.

What do you figure, Lonny, bear?

No, ain't no claws did that.

That's a straight blade knife.

That's a big knife.

From the looks of it, they

quite literally tore him apart.

That took someone strong to do that.

Maybe several someones.

Base, come in, Deirdre.

Come over, Deirdre.

Too far in?

I believe so.

We're not gonna be able

to help him, come on.

Let's find those kids.

Allison, Allison!

Allison, Chase!

Oh f*ck, f*ck, where

the f*ck is everybody?

Oh, f*ck' sh*t.

Allison?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(WILL GRUNTING AND GASPING)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Oh, Jesus Christ, Lonny.

What the hell's going on here?

One thing's for sure, it ain't animals.

Depends on your definition of animals.

What do you reckon?

I reckon there's some young

folks up on this mountain

that we need to talk to,

and we need to talk to

them right the hell now.

(INSECT SCREECHING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(KATIE SCREAMS)

Renee, Renee!

Renee!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(RENEE GASPING)

Hang on, Renee!

(RENEE GASPING)

Renee!

(RENEE GASPING AND CHOCKING)

Okay, okay, okay.

Hold on, hold on.

(KATIE SCREAMS)

(EERIE MUSIC)

Leave me the f*ck alone!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(KATIE GRUNTS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Hey, you!

Don't you move!

You stay right where you're at right now!

No, you don't understand!

Don't you even breath!

You got her, D. Dub?

I do.

You stay on her.

You keep her covered while

I get the cuffs on her.

(D.W. SCREAMING)

D.W., D.W., God dam it, D.W.

You stay right where

you're at, young lady!

Don't you move.

Don't make me sh**t you.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Hey, stop, sh*t!

D. Dub, where you at?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Ah, sh*t.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

sh*t.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(KATIE SCREAMS)

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

f*ck you, get away from me!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(TASER CLICKING)

Damn it, girl, don't you ever.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Right here.

Foot up.

Hands up.

Deirdre, come in.

Whatcha got, Lonny?

We're gonna need the

State Police up here,

and the Medical Examiner.

Roger that, you okay up there?

Soon as you can, Deirdre.

Yes, sir.

Open your hands.

You've got a lot of explaining to do.

You might as well start at the beginning.

(KATIE WHIMPERING)

What do you want me to do

with all this stuff, Lonny.

Just leave it by the door.

The Sheriff's gonna send

somebody over this afternoon

to pick it up.

Alrighty then.
