- Rita.
Rita!
Aw come on, guys!
Come on, I'm not in the mood!
This isn't funny!
This isn't even clever!
Dammit Randy, I'll buy you
a new carpet all right?
Sorry.
Hey if you wanted to scare me
you could've tied me up better.
Okay.
Okay.
Come on.
Hello?
Hello?
Can anyone hear me?
I'm trapped in a
cabin somewhere,
I don't really know where it is.
I'm uh, surrounded by...
Trees.
Uh, mayday.
I don't know where I am, please,
if anyone can hear
me, please help.
Think, think, okay.
Picked up Rita,
okay, I had a drink.
I had two drinks.
Then uh, then I came home.
Did I get home?
Was I drunk?
No, no, no, no, no, no,
come on, come on, come on.
Don't lose it, all right?
Okay, all right.
Okay, good.
Let's see what...
Okay.
Of course.
Hello?
Hello?
- Lester.
- Who is this?
- Your friends call you les.
- Who is this?
Look mister, please, I need
help, I'm trapped in a cabin
and I have no idea where I am.
I think maybe if
you GPS it, though,
you'll be able to find me.
- It's
going to be very difficult
if you keep interruptin', les.
Now calm down, can you do that?
- Yes, yes.
- Good, now
how 'bout you take a seat
right there?
- Yes.
- You know
all about comfort, don't you?
Complacency, ease,
goin' out on the town
dressed to the nines and such.
Allow me to introduce myself.
You may call me wolf.
- Wolf?
Wolf like the guy on CNN?
- Yeah, just
like the guy on CNN.
I have brought you here, Lester.
- You brought me here?
You brought me here?
What the hell for?
- Would you hush up?
I know we about your situation.
- Look, I'll pay you
whatever you want.
My family will give
you whatever you want.
Hello?
Wolf?
- I was hopin'
I wouldn't have to pull
some cuyon parlor trick
to keep ya here, Lester.
You rushed my hand.
As I was sayin' before
you interrupted,
it makes conversation
very difficult.
- Just tell me what you want.
- That's the first time
you ever been scared for your
life, isn't it silver spoon?
- Silver spoon?
I'll give you silver
spoon, you psycho.
Why don't you come in here
and I'll knock you so hard.
My family is going
to sue your ass.
Do you get that?
My uncle is a Jewish
lawyer, my friend,
that means jail time!
You could get real
acquainted with bubba.
- Feel like a big man now?
Now you tried to rush off before
I could tell you the rules.
Now in ever sport,
there's rules.
Ready to listen?
- Yes.
- Tres bon.
You are here les
because you have sinned.
Well you committed the
worst sin a boy like you
can commit.
Irre-sponsi-bili-Ty.
You've wasted your life.
That's all you is,
a middle manager
at papa's company.
Still livin' in the glory
days of your frat house.
Women's objects, classic
that's an awful nice
watch you're wearin'.
Daddy get that, too?
When a boy like you
lives the way he does,
there's poison in his life.
I'm the anti-venom.
- What are you talking about?
- Manhood.
Les, you know the Indians,
they had these rituals
where they send their boys
off in the woods to survive.
And when they came back
and if they came back,
they earned the right
to be called a man.
- You've gotta be kidding me.
- You will learn les.
Sacrifice, honor, pain...
These ain't catch
phrases no more.
It is your new life.
- What is this?
- Les, if you try to
leave the cabin, I'll kill you.
And if by some miracle
you get past me,
the wilderness will kill you.
Now there's only one
way off this mountain,
so you best listen closely.
You have to man-up les, not
a mindless, wanna-be jock,
but a real man, a
who can take care of hisself.
A man who can take a
hit and keep moving.
Oh I will help you do that, les.
I will help.
I will just as
soon end you, too.
You see, I am the hunter...
But I dare not even call
you prey, no, not yet.
Prey presents a challenge.
So help me god, by
the end of this,
you will present me
with a challenge.
Try to break the rules
and I'll end you.
Run down that path
again, find out.
Now, you have the rest
of the day to settle in.
Use it.
The hunt is on.
- Come on, can do this.
If anyone is out
there, please respond.
If anyone is out
there, please respond.
If anyone can hear
me, please respond.
Wolf!
Where are the boots?
What?
- You did a very
bad thing yesterday,
tryin' to escape.
- You tried to shoot me.
- I shot at you.
Big difference,
let me assure you.
- You were here last night.
Why didn't you just
finish it then, tough guy?
If you're some hotshot hunter,
why didn't you just kill me?
- Listen, you find
yourself in a tootaloo,
you ain't gotta call nobody.
It's up to you to figure it out.
- I find myself in a what?
- You're gonna
slowly freeze to death.
Now shut up and listen to me.
- Okay.
- There's a safe, no
doubt you found it by now.
- I saw it, yeah.
- Inside the cabin
somewhere is the combination.
You oughtta get to gettin'.
- Find the combo?
All right and after
you amuse yourself
watching me tear this
place apart, what then?
What are you gonna do?
Kill me?
Why don't you just come in
here and face me like a man?
Or are you too scared, huh?
Why don't you come in here
so that I can pound
your little face in?
I'm tired of your game, asshole.
Run, run, run, run.
- Les?
If you're there, pick up.
- I'm here, wolf.
Where are you friend?
I've got my gun back.
- I have to admit,
I'm right proud of you, boy.
You must feel like a big boy,
goin' break the eggs and such.
- Come on wolf, let's do this.
Let's do this, I'm
waitin' for you, wolf.
Come on, come and kill me!
- Well,
- what's your endgame, wolf?
Do you honestly think
you can just keep me here
and get away with it?
- How's Rita?
- Rita?
- Your girlfriend?
- You have her?
- Relax, I'm
askin' about her, ain't I?
How is she, doin' good?
- Shut up.
- Yeah, that's the
twisted thing about our culture,
we don't believe in honor.
It's a word without meanin'
that some of the marines use
in their commercials.
That's about it.
- Rita's just fine.
- Don't kid yourself.
She just busted into tears
just a few night ago.
- When I get out of here,
I'm gonna put a bullet
through your skull.
- That's a bold assumption.
When you get out?
Try if.
The wolf ain't done hurtin'.
- I don't think so.
I'll sit right here
and wait for you.
- That's too bad.
I just left a little
present for you by the shed.
- Oh, come on baby.
That's good.
That's good, that's good.
Yes!
Yes!
Hey!
Okay, okay.
Fire.
Fire.
The ability to
start and maintain a fire
is crucial to a
marine's survival
in the cold weather theater.
Too bad I'm not a marine.
You will need kindling,
an ignition source,
fuel for the fire,
a steady oxygen flow
and a means by which to...
I'm gonna die.
All right, now you listen to me.
If you want some prey and if
you're some hotshot hunter,
then you're gonna
have to keep me alive.
Now tell me how
to start the fire.
I know you can see me.
Hey, you see that?
Tell me how to start the fire.
- I gave you dinner,
now you want me to
cook it for you, too?
Aren't you so suave?
- Look, you want
to keep me alive.
More sporting.
- You don't know
nothin' about sportin'.
- Maybe, but I can take
a few guesses about you.
You aren't from around
here, I can guess that.
Not with that stupid
hillbilly accent of yours
which means you trained
to stay up here.
You're good with
guns and survival.
The manual you gave me
is from the marines,
not to mention that little
bit about commercials.
So you're a marine,
or were, at least.
You know you're probably
some washed out old guy
talkin' 'bout the
glory days of 'Nam
who likes stalking rich kids!
You're just havin' fun
with me, aren't ya?
My dad is probably
dumping ransom money
into some offshore account
and any day now a helicopter
is going to land and save me
and you're just screwin'
with me til then.
Yeah, this, this is
nothing but a ransom.
You're a thief and
that's all that it is.
- Wanna eat?
- Oh why yes,
please, mister wolf.
I'll jump through whatever
hoops you want me to.
I'll sing and I'll
dance for you, too.
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Wait!
Hold on a minute.
Hey, easy.
Look...
I was taken.
I'm just looking for
a way out of here.
Do you speak English?
Easy, easy, easy,
calm down, calm down.
All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Okay, okay.
All right.
Sorry buddy.
It's all right.
Do you know English?
- Yes.
- Oh thank god.
Okay.
Okay, I just...
I'm stuck here.
I mean I was put here.
All right.
I just, there's a cabin.
Hey, what?
All right, easy, easy.
It's cool, it's cool.
I woke up in a chair and I...
Do you know how to cook?
Then I saw a sheep in the tree.
I tried to cut it
down the best I could.
I think I saw you.
- I was trying to sneak around.
- Ah, when did you wake up?
- About two days ago.
- Sounds about right.
Do you have your own cabin
somewhere around here or?
- No, he made a
snow shelter for me.
That's where I've been.
He told me how to make
a fire and a spear.
- Whoa, hold on,
you can make a fire?
- Yeah.
- If you can make
fire, then we can cook.
We can eat, come on,
come on, let's go.
- Why did he give you a cabin?
- Well, he wanted to teach me
to be a real man, you know?
Be all tough and cool and manly.
- No, why did he
give you a cabin
and I get a hole in the ground?
- I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't,
I mean, you know,
maybe he doesn't like your kind.
- My kind?
- Well yeah, you're
Mexican, right?
- Are you serious?
- Yeah I'm serious.
Look, he's trying to
teach you a lesson,
so what lesson is he
trying to teach you?
I mean are you
allowed to be here?
- Oh wow.
- No, it's cool.
I'm cool.
Look, I'm from the OC, I got
like two Mexican friends,
they got like a
hundred legal cousins.
- Oh you have two
Mexican friends?
Multicultural.
You think I'm here
because I'm Mexican?
You're a jackass.
He told me that I need
to stand up for myself.
- Oh.
My bad.
I am starving.
I am sopping wet.
And I am freezing.
Well, start us some fire.
Do you need help?
- I want you to go away.
- What?
- If you see how to make
fire, I'm not useful to you.
You can throw me out.
- Come on,
you've gotta be kidding.
I'm not going to do
anything like that.
- Do you want to eat?
- All right.
Cool your jets.
You're out there
right now, aren't you?
You're watching us.
Why'd you send her here, wolf?
Ah, you can probably
see me right now.
Why is she here?
For whatever reason, she
isn't gonna stick around long.
I'll figure it out.
- It ain't hard.
- What did you say?
- I say it ain't
hard to figure out.
I sent her there to kill you.
- Why doesn't that surprise me?
I can't tell, wolf.
I can't tell if you're
trying to kill me
or tryin' to help me.
- Well then, I better
send you a clear message.
- Yeah, and what's that?
Wolf?
Wolf?
- OC?
- Hmm?
- You're from orange county?
- Yeah.
- I had family there
once, they've moved back.
I was trying to
get an internship...
- how did you get my boots?
- Hmm?
- You were wearing my boots.
Those boots.
How did you get them?
- I don't understand.
- You know...
Two days ago, I was
a different guy.
You see that's the weird thing,
I don't know who I am anymore.
And I sure as hell
don't know who you are.
- My name is Viviana.
- I didn't ask.
I said how did you get my boots?
- Those aren't your boots.
- Why did he send you?
Shut up!
Why did wolf send you?
- He gave me the boots.
- Start talkin' Viviana.
- I told you he
gave me the boots.
- You know I never touched
one of these things,
but I think if I can gut a sheep
then I can gut you, too.
- No!
He told me that I
needed to kill that,
that I need to take your
things and I would die
if I didn't action for myself.
- You?
You kill me?
You kill me?
- No, no I
- ah, shut up!
Are you enjoying the show?
Huh?
- Are you out of your mind?
- Well you're here to kill me,
so I guess it's pretty fair.
We're gonna die out
here, do you know that?
Sorry.
- Yeah, sure, it's all forgiven.
- I see
it, but I don't believe it.
Is that Lester workin'?
I mean is he actually workin'?
- Laugh it up, funny man.
- Oh I am, I
am enjoyin' the show.
Especially the show last night.
Let me give you some advice
since you're new to all this.
Next time you wanna
scare someone, use fire.
The thought of their skin
peelin' back and bubblin' up,
ah, it's especially effective.
- You know, I never touched
a woman until last night?
You made me do it, wolf.
- Rita, oh Rita would disagree.
- I never hit her.
- Nah, you never
touched Rita in your life.
No, it was all them other whores
you couldn't keep
your hands off of.
All them other
ladies you've been,
what do your friends call it?
Stabbin'.
- It doesn't matter,
I'm gonna fix it.
- Well now I guess I shore hope
you do get off this mountain
because it would
be a sight to see.
You crawlin' back on
your little worm belly
oh, beggin' forgiveness.
Please, baby, please, I swear
it was a moment of weakness.
- Well what about you, huh?
Kidnapping some
innocent Mexican girl
and throwing her on
top of a mountain.
That isn't too
gentlemanly, wolf.
- Touche.
But let's not forget
that this whole exercise
we're doin' out here
is about you growin'.
- I still think it's a ransom.
I think my dad is paying you off
and any day now, a helicopter
is going to land and save me.
- Is that so?
Why you out here
loppin' up trees
not a lot definitive 'bout
what you're doin' out here.
I spent so much time
choppin' up wood
so you could stay warm.
- I need to be ready
for my trip back home.
- Well if that's the case,
I got a proper pair
of boots for ya.
- And I'm sure there's no catch.
- Just a little walk,
'bout a mile or so north.
I left 'em near a cabin.
- Oh I think I'll
stay right here.
- Bon chance.
- What's all this?
Expedient snow shoes?
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's do it.
- Just do it.
Okay here, no, no, no, no.
Let me...
- no, we just.
Just give me one second.
It's just that you have
to do a double knot here.
- Yeah, well there's a
way of doing a double knot
and that's just silly.
- This is another knot.
- Fine, it's a double knot.
- Hey, so about last night I'm...
- let's try them, okay?
Come on.
- Oh, oh, oh.
Come here.
Come here!
- What is the matter with you?
That was completely unnecessary.
- I'll take the bait.
- I really don't think...
- you don't think what?
All right, I see
that's the place.
- This doesn't feel right.
- Of course it doesn't.
- Please don't go in there.
- Look, I didn't walk
all the way out here
just for the fun
of it, all right?
Just stay down.
- Listen to me.
- What?
What?
Keep a lookout.
- You won't get far.
- I'm not staying here.
- I told you it was a
bad idea to go there
and I'm telling you it's
a bad idea to leave now.
- Look, he can't track us
in the dark, all right?
That gives us the
advantage, okay?
Gives us a head start.
- I don't wanna go.
- Okay, I don't wanna end up
like those guys in the cabin.
You have to tell me
how to make a fire.
Please.
- What's with the watch?
- Viviana, if I
can't make a fire,
then I'm going to
freeze to death.
- You will anyway.
You're leaving at night.
This is so stupid.
- No, staying here,
that is stupid.
- Leaving at night,
that's worse.
- Tell me how to make a fire.
- Tell me about the watch.
- I don't have time for games.
God!
Why you?
The watch was a present
from my old man all right?
When I got my first job, but
I got fired soon afterwards
so he let me keep
it to remind myself.
- As a reminder of what?
- Of the time.
Jesus are you stupid?
As a reminder that
I screw up everything.
- You have a battery
in your lantern.
- Yeah.
- I'll give you some of this.
- Steel wool?
- Yeah.
You rub them together.
- That's cool.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Come on!
Oh god, no.
Oh god.
I'm sorry, god, for...
Everything.
I'm sorry, dad, for being a...
A terrible son.
I'm sorry Rita.
I'm sorry.
Screw it.
Come on.
Viviana!
Viviana!
Help!
- Oh my god, Lester,
are you okay?
- Oh god, it hurts.
- What hurts?
Oh!
- Don't, don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't.
I'm freezing, I'm freezing.
I'm no use.
- It's okay.
Oh my god.
- No, don't
touch.
- I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Don't, don't
touch it, all right?
- I'm sorry.
Is an idiot.
- I have no idea what you said,
but I'm sure that I deserve it.
All right, you son of a bitch.
- Busy night?
- I've learned my lesson.
- Well mother nature's
a tough bitch sometimes.
You gotta watch out for her.
- Why didn't you shoot me?
- It takes a
big man to crawl a mile
on the snow with
a hole in his leg.
Seriously, that's tough.
How's it treatin' ya?
- I'm going to strangle you.
- You got there.
Now I remember once on a huntin'
trip, I busted my ankle...
- I'm going to enjoy
the look on your face
when they shove that
needle in your arm.
I'm gonna sit back
with the biggest smile.
- I remember
once on a huntin' trip,
I busted my ankle now.
I was a long shot off in the
woods with no one around...
- stop with the anecdotes!
Wolf, I'm sorry.
- How is your supplies doin'?
- I don't know, why?
- Well, you shouldn't
be worried about threats,
and much more about a
certain combination lock.
- Combination?
- There's a safe in the closet.
- And you never
look how to open it?
Where do you want me to start?
- I don't care.
- Okay.
I'll start outside.
- Viviana!
- Did you find it?
- No, Viviana, get back inside!
- What?
- Just get back inside!
Please, now!
Come on!
- I'm coming.
- Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.
- What happened?
- Nothing, I just I
had a bad feeling.
What?
- I had a bad feeling
yesterday and you walked off.
- Really, really?
That's the productive
thing to say?
- I was trying to help.
- Well, okay then, excuse me.
I'm Viviana, I'm
so smart and strong
and I can handle wolf
by myself, that's fine.
- I was still looking
for the combo.
- Yep, nice and sturdy,
just how I like ya.
Viviana!
Oh Viviana.
Look what I got.
Oh no, what am I
gonna do with this?
Fine.
Guess who found the combination?
Oh, come on.
Oh yes.
Oh my god.
Oh.
Oh Jesus.
Mmm.
Thank you wolf.
- We should have
opened this sooner.
- Oh yeah.
Ouch.
- You need to take
off your pants.
- No.
- How am I supposed
to put the bandage on?
- Just put it on top.
Ow, be careful.
- I'm trying.
- Ah, it hurts!
- Shut up!
- What?
- You hear that?
Do you hear that?
- No way.
- Yeah!
- I was right.
- I don't see anything.
- Hey!
- Where is it?
- Hey!
Help!
Wolf!
Wolf!
Okay, you said he
gave you things.
- He left instructions for me.
- Did you meet him?
If we're gonna beat him,
we have to do it
at his own game.
- He's a very dangerous man.
- He's a dangerous man?
Get out of town, no kidding.
- Would you stop doing that?
- Doing what?
- Talking like that.
- All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Okay.
- He thinks that what
he's doing is right.
- Yeah, well not
dying is right for me,
so I'm gonna do that.
- I woke up in a snow cave.
- Okay.
- That's our exit.
We need to leave now,
we'll make a snow shelter.
- Okay.
Okay, who built your snow cave?
- He did.
- Oh, and how are we
supposed to build it?
- We have the manual.
- Okay, we have the manual.
All right, now all we
need is 100 marines,
a pickax, some shovels, a
bulldozer would be nice.
Okay, look, he's
trained, we're not.
That manual, it might
as well be in Chinese.
- It doesn't matter, I
survived there for two nights.
I know we can do this.
- Look, I tried this
once before, okay?
Look what happened.
I almost died and this time,
we might not be so lucky.
- You left by yourself
and you left at night.
This time we're leaving
together and it's daytime.
We can walk as far as we can
and then we'll find a place
to build a snow cave.
- How am I supposed to trudge
in knee-deep snow with this?
- I'm gonna help you.
You have to listen
to me, Lester.
This is our only chance.
For the first time, we're
gonna be one step ahead of him.
You said it before, we have
to beat him at his own game.
This is it, Lester.
If someone's in fact
looking for you,
he won't let them save you.
He will kill you.
And now that the weather is
changing, we'll have a chance.
He won't be able to track us.
- Just give me a minute.
Okay.
How do you want to do this?
- Together.
I though white people
go camping all the time.
Don't you?
- Racist.
Here you go.
All right, it says that we need
to Criss-cross the branches
for the roof.
All right.
- And then we need younger ones.
- More?
- Yeah, and make them longer.
- Longer? Okay.
- So they go from one
side to the other.
- All right, all right.
- Hey.
You can't.
Tell me about her.
Lester?
- Hmm?
- You have a girlfriend.
- Yeah.
- Is she pretty?
- She's gorgeous.
- Does she take
good care of you?
- Yeah, she does.
- She's a lucky girl.
- I wouldn't say so.
Viviana!
Viviana!
Viviana wake up!
The fire's almost out!
- What?
- It's almost dead.
- Light the sticks.
- They won't light, they
won't light, they're too cold.
I need your steel wool.
- We used mine
last, where's yours?
- Oh no.
I left it at the cabin.
Oh sh...
- What does it say?
No, what are you doing?
- Look, we have no choice,
all right?
- Yeah, we need it!
- We need a fire.
- Is it working?
- There we go.
There we go, it's
catchin', it's catching.
- Do you hear that?
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Our tracks, our tracks
he's spot our tracks.
Okay we need to split up.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Go.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
- Lester!
- Look.
- Oh, okay, come on.
- Viviana, hey,
we gotta Viviana?
Viviana?
Wake up.
Viviana please.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please Viviana, wake up.
Viviana!
Viviana wake up!
No, no please.
Please, I don't know what to do.
Please tell me what to do.
Viviana, please don't, please
don't, please don't go.
Please don't go.
Please I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do,
please tell me what to do.
Please.
Please, I don't
want to be alone.
Please don't leave
me here alone.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no I was only 16.
And my dad comes
up to me and says,
"I worked to build my
company so you need to learn
"how to do the same."
So he made me get a job.
And I looked and I
looked and I looked
and all I could find was
that stupid hot dog joint.
With the hats, you know?
Oh, those stupid,
stupid hot dog hats.
And that's where I got a job.
Oh.
I was so mad at him about it.
You know, wasting my time
wearing a wiener hat.
Like that was supposed to
teach me to be a business man.
And dad's all telling
me about how I need
to start from the bottom
and work my way up
and how tough he had it
when he started his company.
So what I did...
There was this uh,
there was this girl
who worked at the earring shop.
So I started flirting with her,
this cute little thing, too.
And I got her to
give me a piercing
for free.
Just to get
back at him, you know?
So I come home with
this thing in my ear
and he's all, "what
the hell is that?"
And I go dad, I'm gay!
God, you shouldda seen him.
Oh god.
He was so pissed,
he was so pissed.
Oh, he took away my car
and my phone
and I'm all like dad, how am
I supposed to get to work now?
Oh, god.
Pretending I'm gay just
to get to him, you know?
So of course I got fired.
I only worked there a week.
And I didn't get a job
until after college.
I wouldn't even have gotten in
if it wasn't for the
strings he pulled.
Now I'm workin' for him.
Ah.
Man.
Maybe it wasn't
worth it, you know?
Maybe it' wasn't.
Oh god.
Ah sh...
Oh
Ow.
Dad, please help me!
Please help me!
I want to go home.
I want to go home.
I wanna go home.
I want to go home.
I'm still alive wolf.
I'm still here.
- Les.
She did a number on my
ribs, I'll tell you what.
Breathin' gettin' hard.
- Did you hear me?
- You know about
Theodore Roosevelt?
- I'm listening.
- 26th president of
these United States.
He carved the canal at Panama.
Charged San Juan hill.
He was a man's man.
You know what he said, les?
He said if it weren't
for the time he spent
in the wilderness,
he'd never had the courage
to become president.
And mother nature
couldn't even kill him.
It was said death had
to take him sleepin',
'cause otherwise he
wouldda put up a fight.
- And what's this
supposed to teach me?
- You remind me of 'im.
It seems mother nature ain't
gonna kill you, neither.
You crawled back twice now.
That's more than most
folks would ever do.
I figure it's best
time I come around,
stop in for a visit.
- Is that supposed
to scare me, wolf?
- Why's you fightin' so hard
for such a miserable life?
- Because I just
started living it.
- Well Lester,
you can ambush me.
Now Lester, I thought after
all you'd been through,
you'd put up more of a fight.
What a disappointment.
Runnin' ain't gonna
save you, boy!
- Rita.
Rita!
Aw come on, guys!
Come on, I'm not in the mood!
This isn't funny!
This isn't even clever!
Dammit Randy, I'll buy you
a new carpet all right?
Sorry.
Hey if you wanted to scare me
you could've tied me up better.
Okay.
Okay.
Come on.
Hello?
Hello?
Can anyone hear me?
I'm trapped in a
cabin somewhere,
I don't really know where it is.
I'm uh, surrounded by...
Trees.
Uh, mayday.
I don't know where I am, please,
if anyone can hear
me, please help.
Think, think, okay.
Picked up Rita,
okay, I had a drink.
I had two drinks.
Then uh, then I came home.
Did I get home?
Was I drunk?
No, no, no, no, no, no,
come on, come on, come on.
Don't lose it, all right?
Okay, all right.
Okay, good.
Let's see what...
Okay.
Of course.
Hello?
Hello?
- Lester.
- Who is this?
- Your friends call you les.
- Who is this?
Look mister, please, I need
help, I'm trapped in a cabin
and I have no idea where I am.
I think maybe if
you GPS it, though,
you'll be able to find me.
- It's
going to be very difficult
if you keep interruptin', les.
Now calm down, can you do that?
- Yes, yes.
- Good, now
how 'bout you take a seat
right there?
- Yes.
- You know
all about comfort, don't you?
Complacency, ease,
goin' out on the town
dressed to the nines and such.
Allow me to introduce myself.
You may call me wolf.
- Wolf?
Wolf like the guy on CNN?
- Yeah, just
like the guy on CNN.
I have brought you here, Lester.
- You brought me here?
You brought me here?
What the hell for?
- Would you hush up?
I know we about your situation.
- Look, I'll pay you
whatever you want.
My family will give
you whatever you want.
Hello?
Wolf?
- I was hopin'
I wouldn't have to pull
some cuyon parlor trick
to keep ya here, Lester.
You rushed my hand.
As I was sayin' before
you interrupted,
it makes conversation
very difficult.
- Just tell me what you want.
- That's the first time
you ever been scared for your
life, isn't it silver spoon?
- Silver spoon?
I'll give you silver
spoon, you psycho.
Why don't you come in here
and I'll knock you so hard.
My family is going
to sue your ass.
Do you get that?
My uncle is a Jewish
lawyer, my friend,
that means jail time!
You could get real
acquainted with bubba.
- Feel like a big man now?
Now you tried to rush off before
I could tell you the rules.
Now in ever sport,
there's rules.
Ready to listen?
- Yes.
- Tres bon.
You are here les
because you have sinned.
Well you committed the
worst sin a boy like you
can commit.
Irre-sponsi-bili-Ty.
You've wasted your life.
That's all you is,
a middle manager
at papa's company.
Still livin' in the glory
days of your frat house.
Women's objects, classic
that's an awful nice
watch you're wearin'.
Daddy get that, too?
When a boy like you
lives the way he does,
there's poison in his life.
I'm the anti-venom.
- What are you talking about?
- Manhood.
Les, you know the Indians,
they had these rituals
where they send their boys
off in the woods to survive.
And when they came back
and if they came back,
they earned the right
to be called a man.
- You've gotta be kidding me.
- You will learn les.
Sacrifice, honor, pain...
These ain't catch
phrases no more.
It is your new life.
- What is this?
- Les, if you try to
leave the cabin, I'll kill you.
And if by some miracle
you get past me,
the wilderness will kill you.
Now there's only one
way off this mountain,
so you best listen closely.
You have to man-up les, not
a mindless, wanna-be jock,
but a real man, a
who can take care of hisself.
A man who can take a
hit and keep moving.
Oh I will help you do that, les.
I will help.
I will just as
soon end you, too.
You see, I am the hunter...
But I dare not even call
you prey, no, not yet.
Prey presents a challenge.
So help me god, by
the end of this,
you will present me
with a challenge.
Try to break the rules
and I'll end you.
Run down that path
again, find out.
Now, you have the rest
of the day to settle in.
Use it.
The hunt is on.
- Come on, can do this.
If anyone is out
there, please respond.
If anyone is out
there, please respond.
If anyone can hear
me, please respond.
Wolf!
Where are the boots?
What?
- You did a very
bad thing yesterday,
tryin' to escape.
- You tried to shoot me.
- I shot at you.
Big difference,
let me assure you.
- You were here last night.
Why didn't you just
finish it then, tough guy?
If you're some hotshot hunter,
why didn't you just kill me?
- Listen, you find
yourself in a tootaloo,
you ain't gotta call nobody.
It's up to you to figure it out.
- I find myself in a what?
- You're gonna
slowly freeze to death.
Now shut up and listen to me.
- Okay.
- There's a safe, no
doubt you found it by now.
- I saw it, yeah.
- Inside the cabin
somewhere is the combination.
You oughtta get to gettin'.
- Find the combo?
All right and after
you amuse yourself
watching me tear this
place apart, what then?
What are you gonna do?
Kill me?
Why don't you just come in
here and face me like a man?
Or are you too scared, huh?
Why don't you come in here
so that I can pound
your little face in?
I'm tired of your game, asshole.
Run, run, run, run.
- Les?
If you're there, pick up.
- I'm here, wolf.
Where are you friend?
I've got my gun back.
- I have to admit,
I'm right proud of you, boy.
You must feel like a big boy,
goin' break the eggs and such.
- Come on wolf, let's do this.
Let's do this, I'm
waitin' for you, wolf.
Come on, come and kill me!
- Well,
- what's your endgame, wolf?
Do you honestly think
you can just keep me here
and get away with it?
- How's Rita?
- Rita?
- Your girlfriend?
- You have her?
- Relax, I'm
askin' about her, ain't I?
How is she, doin' good?
- Shut up.
- Yeah, that's the
twisted thing about our culture,
we don't believe in honor.
It's a word without meanin'
that some of the marines use
in their commercials.
That's about it.
- Rita's just fine.
- Don't kid yourself.
She just busted into tears
just a few night ago.
- When I get out of here,
I'm gonna put a bullet
through your skull.
- That's a bold assumption.
When you get out?
Try if.
The wolf ain't done hurtin'.
- I don't think so.
I'll sit right here
and wait for you.
- That's too bad.
I just left a little
present for you by the shed.
- Oh, come on baby.
That's good.
That's good, that's good.
Yes!
Yes!
Hey!
Okay, okay.
Fire.
Fire.
The ability to
start and maintain a fire
is crucial to a
marine's survival
in the cold weather theater.
Too bad I'm not a marine.
You will need kindling,
an ignition source,
fuel for the fire,
a steady oxygen flow
and a means by which to...
I'm gonna die.
All right, now you listen to me.
If you want some prey and if
you're some hotshot hunter,
then you're gonna
have to keep me alive.
Now tell me how
to start the fire.
I know you can see me.
Hey, you see that?
Tell me how to start the fire.
- I gave you dinner,
now you want me to
cook it for you, too?
Aren't you so suave?
- Look, you want
to keep me alive.
More sporting.
- You don't know
nothin' about sportin'.
- Maybe, but I can take
a few guesses about you.
You aren't from around
here, I can guess that.
Not with that stupid
hillbilly accent of yours
which means you trained
to stay up here.
You're good with
guns and survival.
The manual you gave me
is from the marines,
not to mention that little
bit about commercials.
So you're a marine,
or were, at least.
You know you're probably
some washed out old guy
talkin' 'bout the
glory days of 'Nam
who likes stalking rich kids!
You're just havin' fun
with me, aren't ya?
My dad is probably
dumping ransom money
into some offshore account
and any day now a helicopter
is going to land and save me
and you're just screwin'
with me til then.
Yeah, this, this is
nothing but a ransom.
You're a thief and
that's all that it is.
- Wanna eat?
- Oh why yes,
please, mister wolf.
I'll jump through whatever
hoops you want me to.
I'll sing and I'll
dance for you, too.
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Hey!
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Wait!
Hold on a minute.
Hey, easy.
Look...
I was taken.
I'm just looking for
a way out of here.
Do you speak English?
Easy, easy, easy,
calm down, calm down.
All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Okay, okay.
All right.
Sorry buddy.
It's all right.
Do you know English?
- Yes.
- Oh thank god.
Okay.
Okay, I just...
I'm stuck here.
I mean I was put here.
All right.
I just, there's a cabin.
Hey, what?
All right, easy, easy.
It's cool, it's cool.
I woke up in a chair and I...
Do you know how to cook?
Then I saw a sheep in the tree.
I tried to cut it
down the best I could.
I think I saw you.
- I was trying to sneak around.
- Ah, when did you wake up?
- About two days ago.
- Sounds about right.
Do you have your own cabin
somewhere around here or?
- No, he made a
snow shelter for me.
That's where I've been.
He told me how to make
a fire and a spear.
- Whoa, hold on,
you can make a fire?
- Yeah.
- If you can make
fire, then we can cook.
We can eat, come on,
come on, let's go.
- Why did he give you a cabin?
- Well, he wanted to teach me
to be a real man, you know?
Be all tough and cool and manly.
- No, why did he
give you a cabin
and I get a hole in the ground?
- I don't know.
Maybe he doesn't,
I mean, you know,
maybe he doesn't like your kind.
- My kind?
- Well yeah, you're
Mexican, right?
- Are you serious?
- Yeah I'm serious.
Look, he's trying to
teach you a lesson,
so what lesson is he
trying to teach you?
I mean are you
allowed to be here?
- Oh wow.
- No, it's cool.
I'm cool.
Look, I'm from the OC, I got
like two Mexican friends,
they got like a
hundred legal cousins.
- Oh you have two
Mexican friends?
Multicultural.
You think I'm here
because I'm Mexican?
You're a jackass.
He told me that I need
to stand up for myself.
- Oh.
My bad.
I am starving.
I am sopping wet.
And I am freezing.
Well, start us some fire.
Do you need help?
- I want you to go away.
- What?
- If you see how to make
fire, I'm not useful to you.
You can throw me out.
- Come on,
you've gotta be kidding.
I'm not going to do
anything like that.
- Do you want to eat?
- All right.
Cool your jets.
You're out there
right now, aren't you?
You're watching us.
Why'd you send her here, wolf?
Ah, you can probably
see me right now.
Why is she here?
For whatever reason, she
isn't gonna stick around long.
I'll figure it out.
- It ain't hard.
- What did you say?
- I say it ain't
hard to figure out.
I sent her there to kill you.
- Why doesn't that surprise me?
I can't tell, wolf.
I can't tell if you're
trying to kill me
or tryin' to help me.
- Well then, I better
send you a clear message.
- Yeah, and what's that?
Wolf?
Wolf?
- OC?
- Hmm?
- You're from orange county?
- Yeah.
- I had family there
once, they've moved back.
I was trying to
get an internship...
- how did you get my boots?
- Hmm?
- You were wearing my boots.
Those boots.
How did you get them?
- I don't understand.
- You know...
Two days ago, I was
a different guy.
You see that's the weird thing,
I don't know who I am anymore.
And I sure as hell
don't know who you are.
- My name is Viviana.
- I didn't ask.
I said how did you get my boots?
- Those aren't your boots.
- Why did he send you?
Shut up!
Why did wolf send you?
- He gave me the boots.
- Start talkin' Viviana.
- I told you he
gave me the boots.
- You know I never touched
one of these things,
but I think if I can gut a sheep
then I can gut you, too.
- No!
He told me that I
needed to kill that,
that I need to take your
things and I would die
if I didn't action for myself.
- You?
You kill me?
You kill me?
- No, no I
- ah, shut up!
Are you enjoying the show?
Huh?
- Are you out of your mind?
- Well you're here to kill me,
so I guess it's pretty fair.
We're gonna die out
here, do you know that?
Sorry.
- Yeah, sure, it's all forgiven.
- I see
it, but I don't believe it.
Is that Lester workin'?
I mean is he actually workin'?
- Laugh it up, funny man.
- Oh I am, I
am enjoyin' the show.
Especially the show last night.
Let me give you some advice
since you're new to all this.
Next time you wanna
scare someone, use fire.
The thought of their skin
peelin' back and bubblin' up,
ah, it's especially effective.
- You know, I never touched
a woman until last night?
You made me do it, wolf.
- Rita, oh Rita would disagree.
- I never hit her.
- Nah, you never
touched Rita in your life.
No, it was all them other whores
you couldn't keep
your hands off of.
All them other
ladies you've been,
what do your friends call it?
Stabbin'.
- It doesn't matter,
I'm gonna fix it.
- Well now I guess I shore hope
you do get off this mountain
because it would
be a sight to see.
You crawlin' back on
your little worm belly
oh, beggin' forgiveness.
Please, baby, please, I swear
it was a moment of weakness.
- Well what about you, huh?
Kidnapping some
innocent Mexican girl
and throwing her on
top of a mountain.
That isn't too
gentlemanly, wolf.
- Touche.
But let's not forget
that this whole exercise
we're doin' out here
is about you growin'.
- I still think it's a ransom.
I think my dad is paying you off
and any day now, a helicopter
is going to land and save me.
- Is that so?
Why you out here
loppin' up trees
not a lot definitive 'bout
what you're doin' out here.
I spent so much time
choppin' up wood
so you could stay warm.
- I need to be ready
for my trip back home.
- Well if that's the case,
I got a proper pair
of boots for ya.
- And I'm sure there's no catch.
- Just a little walk,
'bout a mile or so north.
I left 'em near a cabin.
- Oh I think I'll
stay right here.
- Bon chance.
- What's all this?
Expedient snow shoes?
- Mm-hmm.
- Let's do it.
- Just do it.
Okay here, no, no, no, no.
Let me...
- no, we just.
Just give me one second.
It's just that you have
to do a double knot here.
- Yeah, well there's a
way of doing a double knot
and that's just silly.
- This is another knot.
- Fine, it's a double knot.
- Hey, so about last night I'm...
- let's try them, okay?
Come on.
- Oh, oh, oh.
Come here.
Come here!
- What is the matter with you?
That was completely unnecessary.
- I'll take the bait.
- I really don't think...
- you don't think what?
All right, I see
that's the place.
- This doesn't feel right.
- Of course it doesn't.
- Please don't go in there.
- Look, I didn't walk
all the way out here
just for the fun
of it, all right?
Just stay down.
- Listen to me.
- What?
What?
Keep a lookout.
- You won't get far.
- I'm not staying here.
- I told you it was a
bad idea to go there
and I'm telling you it's
a bad idea to leave now.
- Look, he can't track us
in the dark, all right?
That gives us the
advantage, okay?
Gives us a head start.
- I don't wanna go.
- Okay, I don't wanna end up
like those guys in the cabin.
You have to tell me
how to make a fire.
Please.
- What's with the watch?
- Viviana, if I
can't make a fire,
then I'm going to
freeze to death.
- You will anyway.
You're leaving at night.
This is so stupid.
- No, staying here,
that is stupid.
- Leaving at night,
that's worse.
- Tell me how to make a fire.
- Tell me about the watch.
- I don't have time for games.
God!
Why you?
The watch was a present
from my old man all right?
When I got my first job, but
I got fired soon afterwards
so he let me keep
it to remind myself.
- As a reminder of what?
- Of the time.
Jesus are you stupid?
As a reminder that
I screw up everything.
- You have a battery
in your lantern.
- Yeah.
- I'll give you some of this.
- Steel wool?
- Yeah.
You rub them together.
- That's cool.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Come on!
Oh god, no.
Oh god.
I'm sorry, god, for...
Everything.
I'm sorry, dad, for being a...
A terrible son.
I'm sorry Rita.
I'm sorry.
Screw it.
Come on.
Viviana!
Viviana!
Help!
- Oh my god, Lester,
are you okay?
- Oh god, it hurts.
- What hurts?
Oh!
- Don't, don't, don't,
don't, don't, don't.
I'm freezing, I'm freezing.
I'm no use.
- It's okay.
Oh my god.
- No, don't
touch.
- I'm sorry!
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
- Don't, don't
touch it, all right?
- I'm sorry.
Is an idiot.
- I have no idea what you said,
but I'm sure that I deserve it.
All right, you son of a bitch.
- Busy night?
- I've learned my lesson.
- Well mother nature's
a tough bitch sometimes.
You gotta watch out for her.
- Why didn't you shoot me?
- It takes a
big man to crawl a mile
on the snow with
a hole in his leg.
Seriously, that's tough.
How's it treatin' ya?
- I'm going to strangle you.
- You got there.
Now I remember once on a huntin'
trip, I busted my ankle...
- I'm going to enjoy
the look on your face
when they shove that
needle in your arm.
I'm gonna sit back
with the biggest smile.
- I remember
once on a huntin' trip,
I busted my ankle now.
I was a long shot off in the
woods with no one around...
- stop with the anecdotes!
Wolf, I'm sorry.
- How is your supplies doin'?
- I don't know, why?
- Well, you shouldn't
be worried about threats,
and much more about a
certain combination lock.
- Combination?
- There's a safe in the closet.
- And you never
look how to open it?
Where do you want me to start?
- I don't care.
- Okay.
I'll start outside.
- Viviana!
- Did you find it?
- No, Viviana, get back inside!
- What?
- Just get back inside!
Please, now!
Come on!
- I'm coming.
- Come on, come on, come
on, come on, come on.
- What happened?
- Nothing, I just I
had a bad feeling.
What?
- I had a bad feeling
yesterday and you walked off.
- Really, really?
That's the productive
thing to say?
- I was trying to help.
- Well, okay then, excuse me.
I'm Viviana, I'm
so smart and strong
and I can handle wolf
by myself, that's fine.
- I was still looking
for the combo.
- Yep, nice and sturdy,
just how I like ya.
Viviana!
Oh Viviana.
Look what I got.
Oh no, what am I
gonna do with this?
Fine.
Guess who found the combination?
Oh, come on.
Oh yes.
Oh my god.
Oh.
Oh Jesus.
Mmm.
Thank you wolf.
- We should have
opened this sooner.
- Oh yeah.
Ouch.
- You need to take
off your pants.
- No.
- How am I supposed
to put the bandage on?
- Just put it on top.
Ow, be careful.
- I'm trying.
- Ah, it hurts!
- Shut up!
- What?
- You hear that?
Do you hear that?
- No way.
- Yeah!
- I was right.
- I don't see anything.
- Hey!
- Where is it?
- Hey!
Help!
Wolf!
Wolf!
Okay, you said he
gave you things.
- He left instructions for me.
- Did you meet him?
If we're gonna beat him,
we have to do it
at his own game.
- He's a very dangerous man.
- He's a dangerous man?
Get out of town, no kidding.
- Would you stop doing that?
- Doing what?
- Talking like that.
- All right, all right,
all right, all right.
Okay.
- He thinks that what
he's doing is right.
- Yeah, well not
dying is right for me,
so I'm gonna do that.
- I woke up in a snow cave.
- Okay.
- That's our exit.
We need to leave now,
we'll make a snow shelter.
- Okay.
Okay, who built your snow cave?
- He did.
- Oh, and how are we
supposed to build it?
- We have the manual.
- Okay, we have the manual.
All right, now all we
need is 100 marines,
a pickax, some shovels, a
bulldozer would be nice.
Okay, look, he's
trained, we're not.
That manual, it might
as well be in Chinese.
- It doesn't matter, I
survived there for two nights.
I know we can do this.
- Look, I tried this
once before, okay?
Look what happened.
I almost died and this time,
we might not be so lucky.
- You left by yourself
and you left at night.
This time we're leaving
together and it's daytime.
We can walk as far as we can
and then we'll find a place
to build a snow cave.
- How am I supposed to trudge
in knee-deep snow with this?
- I'm gonna help you.
You have to listen
to me, Lester.
This is our only chance.
For the first time, we're
gonna be one step ahead of him.
You said it before, we have
to beat him at his own game.
This is it, Lester.
If someone's in fact
looking for you,
he won't let them save you.
He will kill you.
And now that the weather is
changing, we'll have a chance.
He won't be able to track us.
- Just give me a minute.
Okay.
How do you want to do this?
- Together.
I though white people
go camping all the time.
Don't you?
- Racist.
Here you go.
All right, it says that we need
to Criss-cross the branches
for the roof.
All right.
- And then we need younger ones.
- More?
- Yeah, and make them longer.
- Longer? Okay.
- So they go from one
side to the other.
- All right, all right.
- Hey.
You can't.
Tell me about her.
Lester?
- Hmm?
- You have a girlfriend.
- Yeah.
- Is she pretty?
- She's gorgeous.
- Does she take
good care of you?
- Yeah, she does.
- She's a lucky girl.
- I wouldn't say so.
Viviana!
Viviana!
Viviana wake up!
The fire's almost out!
- What?
- It's almost dead.
- Light the sticks.
- They won't light, they
won't light, they're too cold.
I need your steel wool.
- We used mine
last, where's yours?
- Oh no.
I left it at the cabin.
Oh sh...
- What does it say?
No, what are you doing?
- Look, we have no choice,
all right?
- Yeah, we need it!
- We need a fire.
- Is it working?
- There we go.
There we go, it's
catchin', it's catching.
- Do you hear that?
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Our tracks, our tracks
he's spot our tracks.
Okay we need to split up.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Go.
Come on, come on,
come on, come on.
- Lester!
- Look.
- Oh, okay, come on.
- Viviana, hey,
we gotta Viviana?
Viviana?
Wake up.
Viviana please.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Please Viviana, wake up.
Viviana!
Viviana wake up!
No, no please.
Please, I don't know what to do.
Please tell me what to do.
Viviana, please don't, please
don't, please don't go.
Please don't go.
Please I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do,
please tell me what to do.
Please.
Please, I don't
want to be alone.
Please don't leave
me here alone.
Oh, boy.
Oh, no I was only 16.
And my dad comes
up to me and says,
"I worked to build my
company so you need to learn
"how to do the same."
So he made me get a job.
And I looked and I
looked and I looked
and all I could find was
that stupid hot dog joint.
With the hats, you know?
Oh, those stupid,
stupid hot dog hats.
And that's where I got a job.
Oh.
I was so mad at him about it.
You know, wasting my time
wearing a wiener hat.
Like that was supposed to
teach me to be a business man.
And dad's all telling
me about how I need
to start from the bottom
and work my way up
and how tough he had it
when he started his company.
So what I did...
There was this uh,
there was this girl
who worked at the earring shop.
So I started flirting with her,
this cute little thing, too.
And I got her to
give me a piercing
for free.
Just to get
back at him, you know?
So I come home with
this thing in my ear
and he's all, "what
the hell is that?"
And I go dad, I'm gay!
God, you shouldda seen him.
Oh god.
He was so pissed,
he was so pissed.
Oh, he took away my car
and my phone
and I'm all like dad, how am
I supposed to get to work now?
Oh, god.
Pretending I'm gay just
to get to him, you know?
So of course I got fired.
I only worked there a week.
And I didn't get a job
until after college.
I wouldn't even have gotten in
if it wasn't for the
strings he pulled.
Now I'm workin' for him.
Ah.
Man.
Maybe it wasn't
worth it, you know?
Maybe it' wasn't.
Oh god.
Ah sh...
Oh
Ow.
Dad, please help me!
Please help me!
I want to go home.
I want to go home.
I wanna go home.
I want to go home.
I'm still alive wolf.
I'm still here.
- Les.
She did a number on my
ribs, I'll tell you what.
Breathin' gettin' hard.
- Did you hear me?
- You know about
Theodore Roosevelt?
- I'm listening.
- 26th president of
these United States.
He carved the canal at Panama.
Charged San Juan hill.
He was a man's man.
You know what he said, les?
He said if it weren't
for the time he spent
in the wilderness,
he'd never had the courage
to become president.
And mother nature
couldn't even kill him.
It was said death had
to take him sleepin',
'cause otherwise he
wouldda put up a fight.
- And what's this
supposed to teach me?
- You remind me of 'im.
It seems mother nature ain't
gonna kill you, neither.
You crawled back twice now.
That's more than most
folks would ever do.
I figure it's best
time I come around,
stop in for a visit.
- Is that supposed
to scare me, wolf?
- Why's you fightin' so hard
for such a miserable life?
- Because I just
started living it.
- Well Lester,
you can ambush me.
Now Lester, I thought after
all you'd been through,
you'd put up more of a fight.
What a disappointment.
Runnin' ain't gonna
save you, boy!
