The Ruck March (2025) Movie Script

(thunder rumbling)
..
(suspenseful music)
..
- [Mysterious Voice] He's watching you.
- [Mac] We'd like to get
a little video of everyone
before we head on out there.
And basically wanna know your name
and your why for being out here today.
- Hi guys. My name is Cammy.
I decided to come out here today
and test myself to my limits
while my husband stayed at
home and watched our kid.
(footsteps crunching)
Just fucking do it! Just fucking do it!
Don't fucking waste my time!
(gunshot blasts)
(ominous music)
- Hey guys, it's Alannah, and
this is day one of training.
And you guys are gonna be
my accountability partners.
And if you're gonna hold me accountable,
you should know what you're
holding me accountable for.
So found this flyer on
a bulletin here in town
for a ruck march,
and I'm sure you're wondering
what a ruck march is,
but I guess we're just gonna
have to find out together
here in seven weeks when
I join this free event
that's supposed to test my mental
and physical health and
work on team building,
overcoming adversity, you
know, all that fun jazz.
And it's free, which is
probably the best part.
I already did all the rough
stuff with having a kid,
but I wanna prove that I can do even more.
So I have my weights here for exercising
and 35 pounds in this
backpack so I can practice.
Let's get after it.
Five minutes in feels like five hours.
I don't know how I'm gonna
do this for 16 hours.
Whew, okay.
But we can do this, right? We can do this.
It'll be fine.
I mean, it's beautiful,
you know, for the desert.
(energetic hiphop music)
Alright guys, day one, three miles in.
Couple exercises and
really definitely felt it.
But let's see how far we can take this.
See you guys next time.
We're gonna go treat
ourselves to a little pond.
So let's go.
We're gonna hit some exercises over there.
Maybe a change of scenery
will make it a little easier.
Whew.
(upbeat hiphop music)
They don't really understand the game
Got a plan and it's playing
I ain't playing
I'm just trying to gain
I want give that big
back, need that giveback
Blow up TikTok with a blue cheese
That don't give a fuck
about your feedback
Eat that giveback seat back
Watch me speak that kickback
Get so many flows here
they think that I'm insane
Ghetto kiss
I'm the one they wanna
be still and I'm a queen
Yeah, yeah
Keep it real, yeah
I keep my circle tight
That they might pierce it
(Alannah breathing heavily)
(upbeat hiphop music)
I just gotta go on
I just gotta go on
Go on, go on
Yes
Oh yeah, the beast back
Running it
Popping through my veins, can't relax
- Hey guys, it's Alannah again
and I'm back at the park.
Only this time I've convinced
my best friend, Emily,
that she has to train with me,
though it shouldn't have
been a hard choice for her,
considering I'm there every time
one of her dating app errors happens,
but, oh, here she comes.
Hey, ho.
- What's up, bitch?
I hate you, by the way.
This was a dumb idea.
- [Alannah] This is not a dumb idea.
It's better than your
normal ways you spend time
with your guys
(Emily laughs)
and yourself.
- So great. What's wrong with it?
(sighs) Fantastic.
Okay, well let's, let's get it.
Let's do this.
Only three weeks till I
get to die in the desert.
So might as well train for it.
- [Alannah] Three weeks till
you get to die in the desert
with your best friend and a
strange man you've never met.
- Exactly, exactly.
I mean, look at us.
(upbeat music)
Look at us, we're so in sync.
- I know. That's what I'm saying.
Look at you.
- Oh.
Ugh, okay.
(static buzzing)
Wow. Pumping them out.
- [Emily] I know.
- She, uh, she might not
have been ready for this.
You look great.
- Fuck you, hon. This sucks.
- [Alannah] You look beautiful, Em.
Look at you.
(Emily breathing heavily)
- Whew!
Hon, you're an asshole.
Oh my gosh.
- An asshole that loves you.
- [Emily] Yeah.
(upbeat music)
- You have much better form than me.
This exercise, you get a 10 outta 10.
(both speaking faintly)
- This is heavy.
- But it'll be worth it.
It can't be any heavier than
carrying around your kid.
Oh, sorry. Dil's kid.
(Emily laughs)
- [Emily] He's lighter. Thank you.
- [Alannah] I don't know
what you're talking about.
I think if I carry half of
this, he's probably that much.
(Emily laughs)
- [Emily] He's a little chunky guy.
- [Alannah] The cutest chunky guy.
- I know, that's what I'm saying.
- [Alannah] How's that going by the way?
- It's going good.
I thought it would be weird
dating a guy with a kid,
but I don't know.
I don't mind it.
- [Alannah] Well, it suits
you well. Family life.
- Hello, stepmother. (laughs)
- [Alannah] It's only three more days.
- Ugh, I know.
Three days. I do not feel prepared.
- [Alannah] Well, we only have
to be prepared for 16 hours.
- You owe me. You totally owe me.
- [Alannah] I will pay you back tenfold.
- Nice puppy.
- Oh my God.
What a cute puppy.
- Hey ladies.
Would you like to touch my wiener?
- What did you say? Ugh.
- God.
- Ugh, gross.
- I was talking about my dog.
What the hell's wrong with you? Fuck.
- Men.
- Alright, here we go.
Picking her up, late as always,
make sure the texts actually sent
before I start talking all this trash.
Oh, there she is.
The lady of the hour.
The bestest of besties.
- I think I'm gonna die.
- No, you're gonna be fine.
Say you're gonna be fine.
- Okay, I'm gonna put this in the back.
- All right.
- Who's that?
- [Alannah] Well, howdy there.
- You guys making a
movie outta this thing?
- [Alannah] Trying.
- Oh boy, I can't wait to
watch the footage of this back.
That oughta be fun.
- You and everybody else.
- Hey.
She is really good coyote bait.
So just look out for her please.
She's a little fragile.
- Alright, I promise.
No coyotes.
- I'm gonna be fine.
I'll be okay.
- You'll have fun.
Can you say bye?
- Bye.
- Say, "Have fun."
- Bye, I'll see you later.
- Bye.
- All right. We'll be waiting
for you when you get back.
- Okay, bye.
- Bye.
- [Alannah] All right, camera.
There we go.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Perfect.
All right, now we're embarking.
- [Emily] Thank you so much for driving.
My car probably would not
have made it that distance.
It would've blown up on me for sure.
- Whoa, whoa.
- Oh.
- Even the camera guy
needs her seatbelt, okay?
- Okay, right.
- Safety first. Okay?
I can't kill you before we start.
Dil will never forgive me.
- [Emily] Yeah, no, you
are absolutely right.
Alright, tell me, what kind
of food did you bring to this?
I packed some PB and Js and
some of my favorite gummy fish.
- Well, you're doing better than me.
I packed some disgusting power bars, so.
- [Emily] Ew.
- Hey, nutrients over taste and flavor
and all that other jazz.
- [Emily] Yeah, see, my thought was,
I'm just gonna need sugar
to get me through this.
So that's what I brought.
- You know, I like your
logic a little bit better.
- [Emily] I'll share my fish with you.
It's okay.
- You're the best.
- [Emily] You're welcome. I got you, girl.
Oh, this is gonna be terrible.
- Oh, for sure.
- [Emily] But you know what?
It's gonna be terrible.
And at the end of it we're
gonna get a handshake.
Why not?
- So, Dil seems pretty sweet.
- [Emily] Oh yeah.
I've been enjoying hanging out with him.
- Yeah, he seems a lot
better than that ex of yours.
What was his name, Christian?
Dude, that guy was an asshole.
- [Emily] Yeah, no, he
definitely was the worst.
I don't know.
I was pretty surprised
when Dil asked me to move in with him,
like after such a short period of time.
But I don't know, I'm
just kind of embracing it,
going with the flow and I've
been having a lot of fun.
Him and his son are just,
they make me really happy.
- Well, I am so happy for you.
- [Emily] Yeah?
Ugh, I hope you know I
am giving up 16 hours
of social media for you.
- My hero.
- [Emily] Yeah, that's
right. I am your hero.
Oh my gosh, this song is so good.
Ugh, so motivating.
Just getting us pumped up.
(upbeat hiphop music)
- Ooh, I think we're almost there.
I think the turn's up
just right around here.
- [Emily] Thank goodness. I'm ready.
- Are you excited?
- Oh yeah.
- [Alannah] Something different.
- [Emily] Yes, something different.
I'm excited for it to be over.
It's gonna be so nice.
- [Alannah] The end is gonna feel so good.
- [Emily] Yes.
- And then you never have to do it again.
- [Emily] Yeah, never say never.
No, just kidding.
I'll never do it again.
- You're right. You're right.
We're gonna be like eight hours
in and you're gonna realize
you're just in love with
hiking and craziness.
- [Emily] Yeah, no.
I doubt it. I'm only
doing this for you, so.
- Well, I appreciate you.
- Yes.
Because I just love our
friendship and you that much.
- Yeah, I mean, if our friendship
can withstand something like this,
it's gonna last forever.
You're never getting rid of me.
- [Emily] Yeah.
- [Alannah] Think of it and
not get singled out as much.
- [Emily] Yeah, no, heard that.
Or you know, look, there's
a guy, oh my goodness.
There's a guy waving,
could persuade some cute guys
to carry our stuff for us.
- [Alannah] Cute guys?
Two seconds ago you said
you were gonna miss Dil.
Let's chill.
- Hey.
- Okay.
If I don't have to carry the weight,
then you know, that's a win for me, right?
Right?
- Already directing traffic.
Okay. Alright, here we go.
- Ooh, he's cute.
- [Alannah] Yeah.
- [Emily] He's gonna
carry our stuff for us.
- Ooh, I bet you if we ask him real nicely
and I bat my eyelashes, right?
- [Emily] See? Yeah,
that's what I'm saying.
- Okay.
- I'm just kidding.
We're strong, independent women, right?
- [Alannah] Oh.
- [Emily] Okay, can you take this?
- Yeah. Give me that.
- It's recording.
- [Alannah] Oh, okay. Hello.
- So excited!
Just kidding. We're gonna die.
How are we supposed to
hike with all this weight?
- [Alannah] You really went hard there.
- It's the only thing I had.
Ugh. It's a good thing
we worked out for this.
Oh my goodness.
I could not imagine doing
this without training.
- Are you guys here for the ruck march?
- [Alannah] That's us. Yeah.
- This thing right here?
- Yeah.
- All right, cool.
So they're gonna do interviews
over there by that hut.
So if you guys don't
mind going on over there
and getting interviewed.
What do you say?
- Sounds great, yeah.
- Alright cool.
Well, nice to meet you guys.
- [Emily] Yeah, nice to see you too.
Okay, let's go say goodbye
to our families forever.
(group chattering)
That's crazy.
All these people, why
would they want to do this?
- [Alannah] Some people have real reasons
and some people like to better themselves.
- [Emily] Uh, guilt tripping
is a great reason. Thank you.
I do it out of love for you.
- Well, I quit after
high school because like-
- [Alannah] Oh, okay, I
guess we just like, uh-
- [Emily] Just make our way through.
- Yeah, navigate.
- Hey, how's it going?
- [Emily] Hey!
- [Mac] Alright. Alright.
And what brings all of
you out here to the march?
- Hey, my name's Donovan.
I saw the flyer in town.
Figured I'd wanna come check it out.
Just found these folks,
kind of recruited them
in, brought 'em along.
Hopefully we're gonna
have a good time tonight.
- I'm just here to show
off my booty shorts.
- [Alannah] This must be
the interviewing people
he was talking about.
- Yeah, okay.
- [Alannah] You're gonna be nice, right?
During your interview.
- Yeah, totally.
- Yeah?
- Of course.
- 'Cause you're such an angel?
- Yeah.
- Uh-huh.
- Hey there, you two.
- Hi.
- Just get here? New recruits.
- Yes.
- Alright. I'm Mac.
We are doing a, we're
doing a little thing here.
We're gonna get your name
and get why you're out
here, what brought you out.
So come on around, we'll just-
- Okay.
Okay, I'm Alannah and I just had a kid
and kind of let myself go afterwards,
but I used to be in really good shape,
so I wanted to prove I could do it again.
So for the last two months
I've been getting myself back out in shape
and now I'm gonna test it
and see how we do, yeah?
Yeah.
- Yeah.
My name's Emily.
I'm out here because
my asshole best friend
guilt tripped me into coming.
Isn't that right, asshole?
(Mac chuckles)
- [Mac] Well, thank you folks.
I'll see you out there in a little while.
- Sounds good. Let's get it!
(both laughing)
Okay, let's go mingle.
I'm telling you. Let's
go find that cute guy.
I bet I could persuade
him to carry our stuff.
- [Alannah] Oh yeah.
I know you already have
70 pounds on your back,
but what's 140 more?
- That's what I'm saying, yeah.
- Alright.
- Let's do it.
- [Alannah] Come on.
My little social butterfly over here.
- I know, you know?
- Didn't wanna do it.
- Might as well.
I know, but might as well make
friends during the process.
Oh, they all look friendly.
Yep.
- Where should we start?
- There's always one.
- Hey guys.
- Hey.
- Hi.
Are you guys ready for today?
- So excited.
- Yeah.
- We're ready, yeah.
- Oh man.
It's gonna be a blast.
Have you guys done this before?
- No.
- No?
- Not this specific event, no.
- Oh, okay.
- So I'm excited to see
what it's gonna be like.
- Yeah, it's a lot.
- It'll be a good challenge.
- Right? Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Hopefully.
Yeah.
- Moving on.
More hopeful.
- Yes.
- [Alannah] We're excited to
see you guys on the trail.
- Yes.
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
- How's it going?
- Hello, I'm Emily.
- Hi Emily.
- This is my friend Alannah.
- Hi, Alannah.
- Hi.
- You guys excited?
- Yeah.
- No, it's gonna be fun.
I just keep telling myself that.
You know?
- Right?
- I don't even know
what I got myself into.
- We're on our honeymoon, so.
- Oh, you're on your honeymoon?
- Mm-hmm.
- Congratulations.
That's awesome.
- Thanks.
- You guys are doing this?
- Yeah, yeah.
- See that?
- It seems exciting.
- That's real love, Em.
- I'm here for moral support.
- Yeah, I gotcha.
- We thought it'd be fun. (laughs)
- [Emily] Yeah, oh man.
- [Alannah] That's what
true love looks like, Em.
- Yeah. Hey, I'm doing
this for you too, so.
- [Alannah] True love.
- My love for you.
Okay, well yeah, we'll
see you guys around.
- Yeah.
- Okay, yeah.
- We can make it.
- Definitely must.
- Yes, I think we got it.
- [Alannah] You should tell your face.
(Emily laughs)
- Look, you know,
we just gotta think of
the bright side here.
Hi guys.
- Good afternoon.
- Hey, I'm Emily.
- How are you?
- This is my friend Lon.
- Hello.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, have you guys done this before?
- No, this is my first time.
- Yeah.
- I'm excited.
- How about you?
- No. Yeah, no.
This is my first time too.
Not really sure what we're doing, so.
- Yeah, I have no idea.
I hear we're gonna be walking.
- Yeah.
- Hiking a little bit.
- Hiking about your trail.
- I mean, I can walk.
- How hard could it be?
- Yeah, I've hiked before.
(all chattering)
- One foot in front of the other, right?
- Positive attitude, that's all you need.
You're halfway there.
- Yeah, exactly.
- Yeah, positive attitude.
- Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
We'll just keep, keep doing it.
- Just keep going, keep going.
- I know. Yeah.
My friend Lannah told me about this
and she's like, "We gotta train."
Okay.
- Alright, and did you train?
- A little bit, yeah.
- Okay.
- Her definitely more
than me, but that's okay.
- [Alannah] She's super strong.
Don't let her undersell herself, okay?
- Alright.
- We're gonna kill it.
- How much do you have
in that pack right there?
- About 70-ish pounds.
- Dang.
- Right? Isn't that the limit? Right?
- Yeah.
- That's the limit, right?
- Exactly 70.
- That's right.
- Not a hair more.
- Sounds great.
- Alright, yeah.
Well, we'll see you guys out there.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Nice to meet you guys too.
- Oh my God.
- Oh, hey there.
- Oh, hey.
- You look like you need some
extra weight on your back.
- Extra weight. You know what?
I am holding it down so
that if anybody wants
to bring in some extra weight,
that's what my bag is for.
- Well, that's perfect.
- Yeah.
- [Alannah] Turns out
70 pounds is too much.
- Oh, you want to switch?
- [Donovan] Don't let this guy fool you.
He's strong like Hercules.
- I believe it.
- Yeah, exactly.
I just don't wanna show it, you know?
I'm saving it for the competition.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Or I mean, you could showcase it now.
- See, the endurance is about,
or sorry, the Ruck March
is about endurance,
so no, I'm not going
to show that right now.
I need to save my energy for
miles and miles down the road.
- Perfect.
So miles and miles down
the road, you'll grab it?
- [Alannah] So about halfway, eight hours?
- Yeah, close to the
finish line, we'll switch.
- [Alannah] Oh.
- You know when we get there,
this is the finish line.
He'll grab it there.
- Oh, okay.
- Oh, okay.
Sounds like a lot of help.
- [Hector] You gotta trust
me. You gotta trust me.
- Yeah.
- [Alannah] All right. She's on.
- Perfect, yeah.
- Yeah.
- You gotta help me with this.
I'm doing all the talking, girl.
Why do I keep bumping into you?
- I know, it's this big
old bag that you have here.
- I know, yeah, it's my backpacking bag.
- What were you planning for?
- Well, I've never done a ruck before.
- She's like, ready to
hike to the top of like-
- Everest.
- I don't know, yeah. Everest.
Yeah, biggest elevation gain ever.
- Yeah, well, I don't know, like-
- [Alannah] Hey, starts with
the backyard ruck march.
- Yeah.
- Ends with Kilimanjaro.
- That's what I'm saying, yeah!
- That's not a bad plan.
- Oh, huh?
(crowd chattering)
- You should start formation!
- [Alannah] I don't know.
I am just gonna follow
what everybody else does.
- Okay.
- So, uh-
- [Emily] Follow the
crowd? I'm good with that.
- Yep.
Oh, um.
Sure.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
my name is Bray and
welcome to the Ruck March.
- I guess he's in charge?
- Yeah.
- You're in for 16 hours of shenanigans.
Little bit of help.
This is my cameraman, Mac.
Mac is gonna record our little adventure.
I don't expect all of you to survive,
but those that do in a couple weeks,
you have a nice little keepsake
that honestly most
people won't care about.
Did everybody do their interview videos?
- Yes.
- Everybody's good?
- Yes.
- Okay. Alright.
Now, expect the unexpected tonight.
This is gonna test you
mentally and physically.
Some rules though, you guys
aren't gonna like this,
but it's the way it is.
There is no food, there is no cameras.
- Wait a minute.
- There is no phones.
There is no smartwatch.
- Question from earlier.
- So.
- [Emily] My gummy fish.
- If you guys have that
stuff, put it in this box.
Move!
- [Alannah] Okay, hold on.
- Alright guys.
Now what needs to happen,
you guys have three minutes.
I don't care how you do it.
We have some heavy sandbags over there.
We have this box with all your stuff.
It needs to come with us, grab it.
And then we're gonna have two files
when you head up into the hills.
You understand?
- Yes sir.
- Alright, let's move.
Go!
(static buzzes)
(group chattering)
- Line one.
Line two.
- Really?
(group chattering)
- Ready for this, Mac?
- [Mac] Absolutely. Always ready.
- It's gonna be a wild time.
We got some good people.
- [Mac] Yeah, better than that last group.
- [Bray] Way better.
- [Mac] Let's whip 'em into shape.
- Second girl.
The brown girl with the pigtails.
She's all right.
Let's go! Follow me.
(group chattering)
- Okay, I can do that.
Ugh, okay.
- Oh man.
- Hey, lead them.
I'm gonna take a drone shot.
- Yes sir.
- Alright.
(drone whirring)
(suspenseful music)
(group chattering)
- [Mac] Come on, fella.
Don't fall behind.
(static crackling)
What's your why? What
brought you out here?
- I wanna test myself
mentally and physically.
I wanna bond with my dad.
I wanna have a great time
out here just getting sweaty.
- Really I'm just here for her.
I didn't want to come.
She kind of talked me into it.
So I'm here to support her in this.
- Thanks, Dad.
- You're welcome.
(drone whirring)
(group chattering)
- Yeah, I'm gonna give these
guys a break over here.
- Ha, do they deserve it?
- No. No, not at all.
(Mac chuckling)
(group chattering)
- [Bray] Alright guys,
let's get over here.
Let's take a little break.
- Woo!
(group chattering)
- Something tells me he's not-
- Me? Moi?
- Something tells me
he's not the motivator.
- I agree with that.
You don't think I could give
a good motivational speech?
- Well, no. You for sure.
- Oh.
- But I don't expect much from
what did he say his name was?
- [Bray] You should get over
here if you want a break.
- Satan?
(Emily laughs)
(group chattering)
- All right guys, if everyone's
done going to the bathroom.
Pick up your heavy things.
Let's get ready to go.
- Hey, um,
hey, does anyone know where my dad is?
- Oh yeah.
See, I was at the end and he
decided to just stay back.
He says it's just not
for him, but don't worry.
He told me that he wants
you to just finish the trail
and you know, he's really pushing for you.
So don't worry. It's fine.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
- There's, there's no way
he would've just dropped out like that.
- Well, it's just not for him.
It's not for everybody, you know?
- Another one bites the dust.
Guys, this sort of thing
happens all the time. Alright?
Every time I leave one of these people's,
people's egos get bruised
and before you know it,
they just up and vanish
because they don't want to tell everybody
that they're not tough enough to do it.
Alright? So we just gotta go.
We just gotta go.
Get your stuff. Come on.
- Let's hit it.
- All set.
- Gentlemen.
- That's a big boy.
- That is a big boy.
- Had a nice hike today?
- Yes sir.
- Not too bad.
- We made it.
- Sorry.
Sorry for the-
- Excuse me. This elevation.
- Sorry for the traffic jam.
- Yep, this elevation. Good luck.
- Alright guys, so I took
all your food, right?
So how you feeling? Is your energy low?
- Of course.
- Yeah.
- Sucking at life right now?
Alright, so in my years of
training, there's a thing,
it's called go ugly early.
Alright, when you're in
a survival situation,
you don't have any
food, you go ugly early,
which means you grab any
edible source that you can,
whether it be plants that you know of,
animals, bugs, anything like that, okay?
Gives you the nutrients that you need
to make a sound decision.
If you're afraid to go ugly early,
well then you might make
some bonehead decisions
and get yourself killed.
Now I need a few people who
are pretty hungry right now.
Any volunteers?
- Stop. (laughs)
- I'll do it.
- Go do it.
- One, two, three.
- Can you do it with me?
- Four, okay.
Alright, you guys come right over here.

me the longest one in there?

(Brigid coughing)
Oh, it's just in the back of your throat.
Fight it. Fight it.

- Alright, you guys have five minutes.
Go to the bathroom, do
whatever. Yada yada.
Alright guys, you good? Everybody back?
- Oh yeah.
- Alright.
Pick up your stuff. Let's continue on.
- Has anybody seen that girl in the black
who was with us earlier?
- No.
- Yeah.
- Like all black?
- Yeah, she couldn't do it.
- She took off.
- Wait.
- Hey, why don't you narrow that down?
What do you mean?
Like she had all black clothing on.
- Real specific.
- She had black hair.
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Black hair. Black hair.
Short black hair.
- Yeah, she was in my crew.
- Yeah.
She couldn't do it. What can I say?
- So now we gotta carry all this stuff?
Another person leaving?
- Unfortunately.
- Just leave it here.
- All right.
- I dunno.
- Great, it's just the way life is.
- Yep.
- It sucks for you.
(group chattering)
- If she goes back.
- Yeah.
- Got that hamburger too.
(group chattering)
- Some people can't hang. (chuckles)
- So we just got married
and we decided to go onto
this little adventure and-
- Ruck March.
- Yeah, the Ruck March. (laughs)
And I brought my girlfriend with me.
(group chattering)
- Why'd you decide to come
and do this by yourself?
- 'Cause my husband's lame
and he didn't wanna come with me.
- Oh?
- Yeah.
(static crackling)
- Hey, what's your name?
- Name's River. What's your name?
- That's cool. I'm Edison.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, nice to meet you.
Thanks for carrying this shit with me.
- Oh yeah. Someone's gotta do it, right?
- Who'd you come here with today?
- I came with my friends.
They just got married, but I
haven't seen them in a while.
I hope they're okay.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- They're not here?
- No, I haven't seen them.
Actually.
- Uh, okay.
- [River] I hope they didn't leave though.
- [Edison] I hope they
didn't leave either.
We got a lot of stuff to carry.
- It happens sometimes, you two.
People drop out.
- Oh, gosh.
- Put them down.
(group chattering)
- [Bray] So have you guys
ever done anything like this before?
- This is my first time.
- Is it?
- It's been a first time in a long time.
- Yeah?
So how you feeling?
You feeling like you're
gonna quit or anything?
- No.
- No?
- I think I still got a
little bit left in me.
- You got some in you?
- Yeah.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Makes me feel young again.
(Bray chuckles)
- What about you Mac?
You gonna quit on me?
- [Mac] Never.
- Oh, Mac. The Big Mac.
- Yeah, she just disappeared.
- You know me, boss.
- The final stretch.
- I don't know.
Don't you think that's kind suspicious?
- I think it's Kind of sad, really,
to quit that early.
But it's really outta
character for my dad.
It doesn't seem like he
would quit this early.
- Some people just really can't handle it.
And you know, with his age, you know?
- It is really hot out here.
I heard that old folks can't
really handle the heat as well.
- Yeah, don't want your old
man to get heat stroke, do you?
- No.
Well, I guess it's a good thing
he's taking care of himself.
- Yeah, I'm glad too.
And I hope that in the end you
get to go home and see him.
- I hope so too.
Maybe he'll be proud of me
if I finish this whole thing.
- I'm sure he would be.
- Who wouldn't be?
- Right.
Any dad would be proud
of his daughter for something like this.
- [Margo] Right, I feel like
it would be out of character if he wasn't.
(group chattering)
- How long have you had your dog for?
- Huh?
- Years.
- I don't understand what's going on.
There's people missing.
There's like,
three or four of us missing
here and we're hungry.
How do we get our food?
- You're not gonna get your food.
Alright? I told you.
- That's bullshit, man.
- This is freaking testing you guys-
(static crackling)
and physically, alright?
And people quit.
- Where is everybody going?
- People quit this shit all the time.
- Well, that's bullshit, man.
We are they? Are they okay?
- I'm sure they're fine.
They're probably home.
- We're hungry, we're tired.
- They're probably home.
- How am I gonna get food?
- You signed up for this.
I don't give a shit. Get back in line.
Get back in line!
- [Mac] Hustle, soldier.
- [Hiker] This is bullshit.
- [Mac] Woo, Bray.
Our first whiner of the day.
- The girl wearing booty shorts.
What a surprise.
(Mac chuckles)
(group chattering)
- I have a cramp.
- All right, guys.
We're gonna take down your stuff.
Take out your backpacks,
take out your sandbags.
We're gonna take a little break.
(group chattering)
- I will not be zipping that back up.
- So is this the break
where we get to eat our
food that we brought break?
- You get your food at hour 16.
Food is not part of this.
- I mean, this worm is not gonna be enough
to sustain me for the rest of this.
It's not my only concern.
I mean, we have like, six people
that have gone fucking missing.
Unaccounted for.
- [Mac] Not my problem.
- I mean, this is nuts.
- It happens.
- I, I just, I can't take this shit.
I'm out. Fuck it.
- [Mac] You're out?
Get out then. Leave.
- You know what? No.
- We'll miss you, Bri.
- You're out too?
- I'm fucking outta here.
- Piss off, buddy.
- [Mac] People can't handle the ruckus.
- Oh, fuck off.
- Come on.
Don't quit.
- Fuck off.
- Alright, so screw them. Alright?
Spoiler alert,
(static crackling)
we're gonna go for a little bit more
and then we're gonna stop again
because I have a special
surprise for you, alright?
- I love surprises.
- You love surprises?
It's a fantastic surprise.
You're gonna enjoy it very much, okay?
- Alright.
- Cool.
So take five minutes, go to the bathroom,
drink some water, whatever you need to do.
Five minutes, go.
- I really hope it's the gummies.
- Not the power bars?
- Well, my power bars
are with the gummies.
Thank you so much for your help.
- Told you I can carry some weight.
- [Hector] Yes. You're not wrong.
- Alright guys.
Go ahead and put your sandbags down.
Spread out.
Take your backpacks off.
Alright, folks.
You guys ready for your surprise?
- Yes.
- Alright.
- The good news is
I know what happened to the
people that went missing.
- Where's, where's my dad?
- I thought they just quit.
- [Bray] The bad news.
- What the fuck is that?
- What?
- You're all gonna die.
(gunshot blasts)
(victims screaming)
(victims screaming)
(bones crack)
(gunshot blasts)
(gunshot blasts)
(footsteps crunching)
- Just fucking do it!
Just fucking do it!
Don't fucking waste my time!
(gunshot blasts)
- Alright.
Hope you guys kept two of 'em.
You guys keep two of them alive?
- [Hector] We got two here.
- Nice. (laughs)
(static crackling)
Oh good.
Two of the brave girls that ate worms.
Alright.
- Why are you guys doing this?
- You'll find out.
Come on, let's go.
- So wait.
- [Alannah] Why are you guys doing this?
We just wanna go home.
We didn't deserve any of this.
- [Bray] Shut up. People die every day.
(static buzzing)
- Hey, we're heading to the spot.
Bring the trucks. Get those bodies.
- I'm so sorry, Em.
I didn't know this was gonna happen.
- Hey, good job, Weasel.
- [Emily] Oh my God!
(Emily sobbing)
(captors laughing)
Why are you doing this?
We just wanna go home!
We don't deserve this!
- [Bray] Hey, Mac!
Hey you wanna check this one?
Flair for the dramatics.
- [Mac] Oh, I had a few dramatics, huh?
All right.
You know, you two, back in the 1960s,
they detonated an
underground nuke around here.
People thought it didn't affect anything
and those people were wrong.
It left something out here,
contaminated the water.
And when it got used for
crops or drinking water,
yeah, it definitely
left something out here.
And when some folks with deep
pockets found out about it,
well, that's when they
hired people like us.
- [Alannah] Hired? Hired for what?
- [Bray] You're part of the show.
You are the stars.
- [Emily] Show? What the
fuck are talking about?
What show?
- I just wanna go home.
(Bray speaking faintly)
- Okay.
Ladies, like I said,
you're stars of the show.
So what's gonna happen now
I'm gonna put these cameras on your heads.
You guys have your
lights around your neck.
If you guys touch your
lights or your cameras,
you'll get shot right away.
Do you understand me?
Do you understand me?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Now you have two options.
There's a staircase there.
You can either take a bullet
right now and it all ends,
or, or go up the stairs.
- [Alannah] Let's just go up the stairs.
- [Emily] Yeah, we'll
handle whatever's up there.
(footsteps crunching)
- [Alannah] I'm so sorry, Em.
- [Emily] I can't look.
(footsteps crunching)
(static crackling)
Oh my God. What is he doing?
(ominous music)
(Alannah screaming)
- [Alannah] Come on!
- [Emily] Run!
Oh my God.
Holy shit! Oh my God!
Oh shit! Oh shit!
Oh shit! (sobbing)
- Oh, this is gonna be good.
(camera buzzing)
Alright guys, I think she's coming.
- [Bray] Best sporting event of the year.
Oh, he's gonna get you.
Bob and weave! Bob and weave!
(mutant roaring)
(Emily shouting)
- [Emily] Stop!
- [Hector] Oh yeah.
Oh, I haven't seen that
movie before. (chuckles)
(mutant breathing heavily)
(footsteps rustling)
(footsteps continue rustling)
(mutant growling)
(mutant roaring)
(Emily screaming)
- Oh, he got her. (laughs)
(camera buzzes)
(mutant growling)
(blood squelching)
(mutant breathing heavily)
Alright, let's go get that footage
or we ain't getting paid, brother.
Alright. Yeah.
(mutant growling)
(blood squelching)
(footsteps rustling)
- Alright. I'm gonna go track 'em.
Get ready for transport.
- [Mac] You got this.
- Fuck!
Jesus!
- [Mac] Oh shit.
(mutant roaring)
Oh sh-
Shit!
(Bray screaming)
Fuck. Fuck.
(mutant growling)
(mutant roaring)
(blood squelching)
(mutant slurping)
(walkie-talkie beeps)
- Bray, we're coming to
your location right now.
Number one escaped.
Bray? Bray, are you there?
Bray?
Bray! Are you there?
We're coming to your location right now!
- [Ranger Hart] This is Ranger Hart.
We've got multiple casualties
scattered throughout the area.
It's bad. It's real bad.
It's like they were just...
Hold on.
I see someone over there.
It's like he's wearing a mask.
I'm gonna go question him.
Standby.
(static crackling)
- Alright, boss.
Last show was a disappointment.
Didn't have a lot of people.
This show, I'm in Fallon
right now, handing out flyers.
Gonna have a good time.
Check it out.
Come join me out in the desert.
- Hey Dad, look, it's a ruck march.
- Yeah.
- We should go together.
It's been ages since we did
any sort of hiking or rucking.
- I'm too old for this shit.
- Come on.
- No.
That's not the case at all.
Come on. You just dug out
the front yard the other day.
- So are you in?
- Oh, I'm in for sure.
- [Bray] Hell yeah. What about you?
- Sounds like a scam to me.
- [Bray] Hey guys.
Hey, check it out. Check it out.
Having a ruck march.
- You wasted paper on this crap?
Man, look at this. Get outta here, man.
You can see I'm busy.
- [Bray] Asshole.
Oh, cute.
Ladies, ladies, ladies.
- Hi.
- Check it out. Check it out.
You looking for a good time?
Come hang out in the desert with me.
- What? What is this exactly?
- [Bray] Basically, you're gonna come out
in the desert with me, have a backpack.
I'll take you on a hike, 16 hours.
It's gonna test you
mentally and physically.
It's gonna be amazing.
- $0?
- No, I don't.
I don't know if that's something
that we're interested in.
- I don't know. Out in the desert.
That's not really our thing.
- We don't wanna be out in
the desert alone with a man.
You know?
- Oh, you sure?
- Yeah.
- We'll we'll take it though.
- It's a good time.
- No, we're okay.
- Yeah, we're good. Thank you.
- It's nice meet you.
- Have a nice day.
- [Bray] All right, bye.
Hey?
(static buzzing)
- [Woman] Can I bring my boyfriend?
He was a Green Beret who really likes it.
- [Bray] Boyfriend was a Green Beret?
Ah, we're good. Sorry.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Hey.
- I see you checking out my
flyer for the Ruck March.
- Yeah.
- [Bray] You guys
interested in coming out?
- Sounds like a great experience.
Maybe we should go together.
- I think I'm out, but
you can use my backpack.
- It has extra pockets.
(Bray laughs)
- [Bray] Are you sure?
Man, it's a great time.
It's gonna test you
mentally and physically.
- No, I think that's for her.
- I think I can handle it.
- Okay, you're in.
- You're not gonna kill
me out there, are you?
(ominous music)
