Hang on now, just hang on now baby, take it slow, take it slow...
Hello and welcome to...
Just, just take it slow...

Y eah, hi.
You gonna live?
Yeah, now that I'm on solid ground.
And, honey, I can't tell you how grateful I am you waited until you got out of it before you puked.
Now I'm gonna puke.
Be nice.
I love you
David, stop it.
David, knock it off. Stop it...
David, don't bug your sister.
What did I do?
David, don't bug pretty girls
because she won't pay attention to you later on in life.
Um the... the car's right there.
Great.
Is that our ride?
Yes.
Su-wheet!
Who wants front seat?
Me!
Alright, you got it. Jump in. Alright.
Got it?
Yeah.
Okay, come on, Jess.
How do you get in?
You just climb up, Jess.
Dad, I'm wearing a skirt.
Jess, I'm not going to look, I'm your dad.
Let's just jump, jump in here or we'll be here all day, for crying out loud.
Look at that.
David, look at the zebra, look at the zebra, see him in there. Look right through there?
Yeah.
So is everyone having a good time, David?
Yeah, it's awesome!
Good, Jess? Hello?
I'm sorry, what's your name?
Mike.
Mike, Mike how far is it, uh, to lake Kadimba by chopper?
Oh about two hours. They'll come pick you up in the morning though.
Okay.
Hey, David, look over there. Look at that.
He's beautiful, isn't he?
Jess! Hey sweetie.
What?
Look!
So what, I've seen one at the zoo.
Look at her, it's pathetic. Could that bathing be any skimpier?
My God, somebody needs to tell her she's not sixteen any more.
Hey, not so loud.
You're talking too loud.
So what?
Hey?
Hey.
This is paradise.
I told you so. Do you want a taste of something wonderful?
Not bad.
Yeah! My God, don't tell me they're going to have sex in the pool!
... You do?
Yeah...
Thank you.
David, try this.
What is it?
Well, the Zulu call it "ltibani"
Itibani?
Yeah.
What does that mean?
Warthog.
Warthog?
Check it out, see if you like it.
Yes?
Tastes like chicken.
Chicken, tell the warthog that.
Jess, you want to try some?
No thanks, Dad. I'm your daughter, the vegetarian.
Right.
I don't eat characters from the Lion King, especially not Pumba.
What's so funny?
Ah... nothing.... I...
I just thought it was funny, that's all.
Well it's not, okay.
Hang on hey, hey, hey, hey...
Let me do it.
Jess. You got to cut your old dad some slack here, honey. What's going on with this?
I hate it here.
Okay.
I hate the dust. I hate the heat. I hate the stupid animals and...
And...
Why did you have to marry her?
Jessica, I fell in love with her, I love her.
But I thought you loved mom.
I do love your mom, Jess, but not the way that married people do.
See sometimes things change, people change, your mom is okay and now...
I love you, I love mom and I want it to stay that way.
I know you do, but it's not going to stay that way, honey.
- It can't stay that way. - I want to go home.
I know you want to go home, baby, you can't go home.
Now look, you've got a perfect opportunity just to get to know Amy a little bit, just to...
I don't want to.
I want to go home.
She doesn't want to be your mother, she doesn't want to be your best friend.
She just wants a chance.
- Honey, just give her a chance. - I want to go home.
Oh baby
I want to go home.
I just want to go home.
I think this was a mistake.
What was a mistake?
Coming here. This trip.
Forcing it.
Honey, you two guys had to get together sometime, I mean, how long were you going to put it off?
Look, we're married and she's just going to get used to it.
I mean what can I say? She's a fourteen year old teenage girl.
Mmm yeah. She's scarier than any animal out here, I promise you that.
Frightening.
But she'll get over it, I promise you.
What can I do to make it better?
The eland, David, it has a long nose and it has four legs...
and a gazelle has... oh I don't know the same thing...
What the heck, there he is. Hey...
Good morning.
- How are you? - Yeah, I'm doing well and yourself?
- It's Brian, right? - Yeah, that's right.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
- Sleep well? - Yip.
Good. So, you ready for our game drive?
Why does it have to be so early?
It is the best time to view the animals, once the sun's up,
it's going to just get way too hot.
I'd rather be sleeping.
Oh, I don't think so.
So, let's get going. Come on.
Let's do it.
I wish you were coming.
I work...
You play...
I love you.
- Can I sit in the front? - Can he sit in front?
Sure.
After you.
Give your dad a hug. Alright... watch your head.
Okay now, the two of you, try against all your natural instincts to have a nice time, okay?
Don't bug your sister. Bye-bye.
This should be fun, right?
No? Okay.
Guys, take a look, that over there, that's the Crocodile River.
It's not much of a river, is it?
You should see it after the first summer rains,
it's teeming with wildlife.
Are there crocodiles?
Sure.
Are we actually gonna see some animals or are you just going talk about them all day?
Well ah, how about we do some off-roading then?
I thought we were off-roading.
No, I mean, off-off-roading.
Hold on, guys.
Ah.. umm... Mr Ranger...
Y eah, buddy?
I gotta go.
Go where?
Go!
Hah... alright, hold on.
So you said you've gotta go, there it is.
Ah, no way.
What's the matter? Take it.
No thanks.
Why?
I don't need to pee.
Come on then, let's go.
Whoa, Brian, do you think this is a good idea?
With him like this, I think it's a very good idea.
I mean for safety reasons.
I've got the rifle he'll be fine
and so will you two. We'll see you now.
Alright, let's go find a bush for you to go do what you need to do.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
They won't see you, I promise you, you'll be fine.
Go behind this tree over here, give me a shout when you're done
and I'll... uh, I'll keep an eye out.
Um, excuse me.
What's up?
I don't have any toilet paper.
But you've got grass, use it.
Grass!
David, you're in Africa, in Africa...
What is it?
Look, Jessica, I know this is hard,
it's hard for both of us, but if we could...
Something's wrong.
I know that's what I'm saying...
No, something is wrong
Oh my God.
Get behind me.
Oh my God.
Oh my God, there's another one.
David.
Shit.
What?
He took the keys.
David, when I tell you to move, we're going to go backwards together.
David!
Why isn't it working?
It has to be on, Jess.
Do something!
David! David!
Hey!
What are you doing?
Hey, over here! Over here! Hey!
Hey, over here!
Over here!
Over her...
Just run! Run!
David! It's coming!
Oh my God.
It's coming!
Open the door Jess.
I can't!
Open up the door, Jess!
It's won't open!
Open the door! Open the door!
Push, come on, push!
Push!
Hurry up! Push!
David.
Hurry up!
Get in here!
Come on! Quick get in!
Stay down, stay down!
Oh my God!
Don't look! Don't look!
Oh my God, he's killing him, he's killing him!
Help! Help! Aaaaahhh!
Help me!
Oh my God! Oh my God! He's gonna kill him!
Help me!
Oh my God!
Close your eyes.
Oh my God.
Stay down, stay down, okay?
We're gonna die!
Oh my God!
Don't look!
And the north and in the south... here take a look at this.
I'm talking about here and here... okay
Yeah, okay.
Come on.
What?
There's no signal.
Great, we're screwed.
We're not screwed.
In case you haven't noticed, our guide was just eaten by lions.
If you don't think we're screwed,
you're just as stupid as my mother said you are.
And we're lost.
We're not lost. Your dad will find us.
How? We're already off the main road.
I don't know, they'll follow the tracks.
When we don't show up at the lodge they'll, they'll find us.
We'll be dead by then.
No, no.
They're going to eat us.
No, honey, no.
They're going to eat us.
No, they're not going to eat us, your dad is going find us.
They're going to follow the tracks, okay. Everything is going to be alright
Stay down, stay down.
Oh my God! Oh my God, it's on the roof.
Oh my God!
Quiet, Jess, quiet.
Oh my God.
Oh my God! Oh my God...
Shhh, stay down. Don't move, don't move. Shhh
I think they've gone.
All of them?
Yeah, all of them. It's okay, David, come on. Come on.
They've gone.
What about the ranger?
He's dead.
Dead?!
Then how are we getting out of here?
We're not.
Jessica...
Come here.
We need to get the rifle.
No one's getting out of the car
But we need it.
I don't care. The answer is no.
I'm thirsty.
I know, but we only have half a bottle of water, I think we should save it.
Yeah.
Here, just have a sip, okay?
Jess, you want some water?
Still have to go to the bathroom?
No.
Why won't they just go away?
Amy? I'm hungry.
Yeah, I know, first thing we'll do when we get back is get a big stack of pancakes, okay?
And a hamburger.
Double quarter-pounder.
A triple. With fries.
Amy!
Hello?
David! Jess!
Mr. Newman...
Hi, Mike.
It's about your family, sir.
Why don't you close your eyes? We should try and get some rest. Go on.
Can we keep the lights on?
Well, I don't want to kill the battery, hon.
What will we need it for after tonight?
You said they were going to find us in the morning.
They are going to find us,
but I don't know how long the battery will last and we might need it in the middle of the night.
Are they still there?
I don't know, I'll check.
It's okay.
Hey, it's okay.
Okay, okay, calm down.
It's okay, David. It's okay. Come on.
Come here.
It's okay.
It's okay, we're in the car, nothing's going to happen.
It's okay.
We're okay in the car, okay?
It's okay, It's okay. Nothing's going to happen.
Shhhh. Shhh. It's okay.
I'm really sorry, Mr. Newman, but there is nothing more that we can do right now.
At least not 'til morning.
I mean if they're not back by then, we will start searching.
What are we supposed to do until then,
just sit around with our thumb up our ass?
Aah, I don't think you have much of a choice there,
um...our chopper doesn't fly at night.
Then why aren't we searching on the ground...
We're trying...
Ma'am... why aren't we in a vehicle searching on the ground?
We are, but a couple of torches aren't going to do much.
We really do have to wait until first light, I'm afraid.
Remarkable. Absolutely remarkable.
Look wait, um...
There is someone that I know of who could possibly help you.
Echo, charlie, zero, this is Leopard's Rest Lodge, over?
Crawford, are you there?
Got you there, shoot.
Good luck.
Hello, Mr. Crawford
my name is Tom Newman; I'm a guest at Leopard's Rest Lodge.
Ah, my wife and two children have been missing since this afternoon.
Missing?
Yes that's right. They were on a game drive and they haven't come back yet.
That's nice. Try the police.
No, no, no, the police aren't going to get here until tomorrow morning.
Sorry, can't help you.
If you want a guided hunt, I'm your man.
But if you want to find somebody, call the rangers.
I'm with the rangers now, Mr. Crawford.
I'm talking to you from a ranger radio.
But I'd wait until after the rain.
Hello? Rain, what rain?
Hello...?
Rain..., what rain?
Whoa, what are you doing? Close the door.
I'm thirsty.
Okay, just be quick, okay?
- You okay? - No.
You alright?
Look, I've got your cell number so just keep it charged and I'll phone you when we find them.
Phone me? I'm coming with you.
I'm sorry, there's only room for two in there.
What am I going to do, stay here?
There's coffee in the kitchen, alright, I'll call you.
Are you kidding?
Where do I find this guy Crawford?
The keys! It's the keys!
Uh...where?
Over there. Look!
Oh, I don't know. Could just be an old can or a piece of glass or something, babe.
No, it is the keys, look.
Let me see.
We're saved. We're saved!
We've got to get them first, buddy.
I'll go.
No, Jess, no, you're staying in the car.
What are you talking about? The lions are gone and I'm much faster than you.
That doesn't matter. I'm going and that's final.
Hmph, nothing you say is final.
Okay... when this is all over,
you and I are going to sit down and have a long conversation,
but until then, you stay in the car.
Don't leave us.
Hey, you want to get out of here, right?
Okay, I'll be back in a blink of an eye, I promise.
Oh shit.
What?
Amy! Run!
Run Amy!
Amy, run!
Run Amy!
Amy!
Amy run!
Oh shit!
Go, Amy, it's right there, go!
- Amy! - Amy!
Go Amy!
Come on Amy!
Okay.
Shift it into first. Okay
Now go!
Go!
Watch out!
But I can't see...
God!
Hold on!
Let me navigate. Go right.
Watch out!
We're going to crash!
Hold on, Jess!
You're going too fast.
Hold on!
Stop the car Amy!
Don't get your hopes up.
You think you can handle anyone, but you don't know this guy.
He's a good hunter though... the best in the region,
doesn't know a thing about people. Well, this is it.
Wait for me.
Well like I said he's nuts, you want to do this, you're on your on pal.
Hey! Hey. Hey! Hey! Hey!
Mr. Crawford! Mr. Crawford! Anybody home?
Mr. Crawford! Mr. Crawford! Mr. Crawford!
I'm Tom Newman. We spoke last night on the rangers' radio.
That's right.
The rangers find your family?
No, they just started looking this morning.
Well, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
Well, exactly, I mean, that's why I'm here.
I was hoping maybe that you'd give me some...
Son of a bitch.
Now, I told you, I lead hunts for the big five,
not search parties for wives and kids, pal.
If you can track a leopard,
I am sure that three American tourists will just be a walk in the park for you.
You gonna go downhill appealing to my ego, friend.
Well, how about I appeal to your wallet, friend?
Mr. Crawford,
I'm the hydro-electrical engineer supervising the building of the new dam in this province
and I have money. Now my family's been at large for more than 24 hours...
and I am sure that must just resonate with you a little bit.
I mean, I'm sure that just must strike some small chord in you.
And praying that it does, I am prepared to pay you whatever the hell you want...
if you just, if you just help me find my family.
Come on...
So what are we going to do now?
By now your dad knows we're missing, he's probably sent somebody to find us.
Who?
The lodge people.
How are they going to find us?
What do you mean?
Well they'll be looking for us off the main or somewhere close to it,
but now we're nowhere near it.
Maybe we should just get out of the car and try to find our way back.
Yeah, except for that we have no idea where we are.
Fuck.
And they'll have no idea where we are if we stay here.
No, we're not going to take any chances, as long as we stay in this car, we're safe.
And lost.
Fine, we're lost. We're not leaving this car.
Why? Because you say so?
Because it's safe, Jess.
Because your father is going to find us
and yeah because I say so.
You think he's going to find us?
Yes, I do.
What if he doesn't find us?
He will.
And if he doesn't?
He will, Jess.
What if my dad doesn't find us?
Goddammit, he will.
What are we looking for?
Smoke, vultures in the sky. You'll know it when you see it.
I mean, are we looking for some kind of trail or something, Mr. Crawford?
Any tracks that would've been left have been washed away by now.
No luck at Lake Maluti.
We're heading north. The roads are empty here.
Well, of course the roads are empty, you rabbit, it rained last night.
You chop in on the ranger frequency?
Ah, we're going to drop in periodically and just, eh, fill in the gaps for those clowns.
And what exactly are the gaps, Mr. Crawford?
Well, you know, they want a quick rescue so they've gone up into the air,
problem with that is they might fly right over your family and not even know it.
Hey, how are you doing?
I'm fine.
Yeah?
He needs some water.
Yeah, I know. We all do.
But he really needs some.
Let me go and find some water.
Are you crazy? What about the lions?
Well, we haven't seen them all morning.
Doesn't mean they're not out there.
Fine.
What are you doing?
There's a little water here from the storm.
Here.
