Hey!

Woo!

Ah!

Help me!

Help...

Ah!

Finally here!

Okay, yeah.

This is what I have been missing!

Okay, people. Eyes on me.

Let's set up camp and you're ready to leave

for the petroglyphs in the morning.

This island is ours for the next 36 hours.

So get to your camp assignments.

Let's go!

Move!

Woo!

You need help with that?

Oh. Thanks.

Okay, let's get the tents up

and gather wood before it gets dark.

I'll build the fire pit.

- You getting a good tight? - Yeah.

Swell, man.

That's okay, he's got it tied on.

Firewood?

You got it.

- Let's go. - Yeah. Let's do it.

You're in the Army, right?

Yes.

Reserves, technically, still.

Did you camp a lot?

Survival training, wilderness training, so yes.

Good.

This is all new to me.

I'm used to the Southern California desert.

It's definitely a different kind of heat.

The humidity here is killer I'm already so sticky.

It's been what? Five, 10 minutes?

It's so good for your skin.

I'm always so dry.

I was stationed in the desert, so it's new to all of us.

Still, I'm glad that you're here.

Don't forget.

I've been going to remote rainforest locations

for decades. You got nothing to worry about.

I know, I know. You're a legend.

But there's five of us and only one of you, so...

How old were you when you first visited the Amazon?

Oh, a little younger than you probably, as an undergrad.

You were running around South America in the 80s.

Any stories about the cartel?

Nah, just a few bribes here and there.

I was in the middle of the Amazon.

The cartel was the least of my worries.

Welp...

You know, I can't stop thinking about

that boat we saw on the way in here.

Who do you think left it there?

I don't know, and who knows if they're even still around?

How long do you think somebody would last

out here on their own?

A minor injury is a death sentence.

Yeah, man, it's gotta be recent.

I mean, a boat like that couldn't last

too many storms in its condition.

Maybe it's a park ranger.

This is Colombian-owned land, right?

Yeah, it's government land, but I don't think this is a park.

So not a park ranger, but like... I don t know.

Government wildlife official, something, right?

- Maybe? - Maybe.

All right.

We're back!

We got firewood!

Well, that's a start.

Help me build a fire.

Okay, let's go over this one more time, okay?

It's back country hiking, five hours in, five hours out.

We'll hike to the petroglyphs, take our photos,

document them for the journals and head back here.

Got it?

Yes.

Copy that.

- Yeah. Got it. - Yeah.

Is your drone ready, Benji?

I'll just need a few minutes in the morning to recalibrate it.

But, yes, it should be able to automatically survey the island

and be back at camp when we return.

Good, remember, that's where our grant money is coming from.

We gotta make sure we get the cartographic survey.

You understand?

- Shouldn't be an issue. - Great!

All right, guys. What time are we gonna be...

Shh!

Hello?

Show yourself!

No, don't shoot!

Don't move.

Please don't shoot.

Help.

I need help. Water, please?

So thirsty. Please?

Allison, we have extra water. No, come on in. Have a seat.

It's okay.

My boat... destroyed.

Gracias.

Gracias, thank you.

I lost my partner.

He was...

It's just me out here.

Just me...

And now you.

What was his name?

Rex.

Did you actually lose Rex, or did he pass away?

He's dead. A snake... bite.

Our helicopter will return day after tomorrow.

It'll be tight, but we can squeeze you in

even if we have to leave some gear behind.

It's okay.

I have money.

I will repay you, I promise.

I will pay for my passage.

Don't worry about it.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Pardon me, I...

I didn't introduce myself.

Joaquin.

Nice to make your acquaintance, Joaquin.

I'm Dr. Malone, Professor of Anthropology at CRU.

And these are some of my graduate research assistants.

I'm Jason.

Here. We got more.

Adam. Nice to meet you.

Grace.

Benji.

Allison.

Nice to meet you all.

I'm sorry if I interrupted.

I heard the helicopter and saw the smoke.

I wasn't too far.

Like I said, don't worry about it.

Well, it's getting late.

We have an early morning.

Where are you sleeping tonight?

Down by the beach a little. Not too far.

Yeah. I think we're gonna be calling it a night, Joaquin.

I'll return back in the morning.

I don't want to continue to impose.

Nonsense! Look, we don't have an extra tent.

But we have fire, we have water and you're welcome to stay.

It's okay.

I... I left my gear back where I was sleeping.

I will be back in the morning.

All right. All right, see you in the morning.

He took the water, bro.

Weird vibes from that guy.

I know what you mean.

What is he even doing here?

You not seen 'em before?

Trappers.

They get feral from being in the wilderness so long,

isolated from people.

I know I can get a little weird if I spend a weekend alone.

Maybe that's it?

Come on, he's not gonna hurt us.

He needs our chopper to get off the island, right?

Actually, that's a good point.

I'm gonna call it a night.

You kids, make sure you get some sleep, okay?

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

'Night.

Goodnight.

'Night.

Ah...

Ah!

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!

- Professor Malone! - Oh, man!

My leg is on fire!

Ah!

- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - Let me see.

Oh, God!

Let me see it.

It looks necrotic.

Jeez, we need to get you to a hospital.

First aid kit!

In the case.

I have whisky if you need it.

Sterilize the wound or it'd take the edge off.

Yes, please!

Thanks.

Bandages, acetaminophen...

- Oh! Oh! - No antibiotics.

No antihistamines.

Not too much. Come on.

Good day, everyone.

Dr. Malone, a bit early in the morning, no?

That's cute. Joaquin, you're in luck.
