Quicksand (2023) - full transcript

- Aah!
- Shh!

Always by
my side. Always by my side!

I just can't believe
I'm doing this,

we should have kept on
scamming tourists and be done.

Do you want me to explain?

These snakeskins
are worth more than

the purses and wallets
that you steal.

I don't care about that.

Look, it's suicide to be here.

It's suicide because you
don't do what I tell you.

- By my side!
- No. I said no.



It's insane to be hunting
at a place like this.

I'm not afraid of Las Arenas.

Well, I am, so what?

- See that? Bye!
- Stay here! Stay!

Aah!

Josh:
So, we're here.

How does it feel to be home?

Sof?

Give me a second.

I mean, this is where
you were born right?

Aren't you, I don't know,

maybe a little bit
nostalgic, maybe?

Yeah, maybe.

It feels weird to be here.



It's been a while without
being in Colombia.

God.

You and your guidebooks.

I do like to do my research.

These rainforests,
they look amazing.

You're dreaming if you
think you have time to hike.

Well, I brought my backpack.

You called about
international, right?

- No charges?
- No. You don't need it.

You don't need it.
Just use the WhatsApp.

Josh, they're three and five.

This is the first time
we've ever left them.

You want me to, what,
send them a heart emoji?

Okay, fine. We'll do it when...
When I get to the hotel.

No, I want to call my kids now.

Sofia, we're, like,
two minutes away.

- I promised them I would.
- Can you just wait? Please?

No.

Sofia: I love you, too.

Be good for grandma
and grandpa, all right?

I love you. Bye.

Let me talk...

- Hey, we better check in.
- Marcos: Josh!

- Hey! There he is.
- Marcos.

- It's good to see you, buddy.
- Good to see you, man.

I
can't thank you enough

for doing this last minute.

Especially you, Sofia.

I know you stopped your
practice when you had kids.

Well, um, actually just
getting back, so this is good.

Everybody I called before
you turned me down,

so thanks for saving
my ass, really.

Well, happy to help.

And you are. You are.

Colombia is in need for
more healthcare workers.

Oh, yeah.

Must feel good to be back, huh?

Yeah, it's good to be here.

It's gonna be hard
to stay focused.

I mean, this is a...

This is a beautiful
country you have here, man.

Well, I shifted your
schedules a little bit,

so your presentation
won't be until Friday.

Great. Extra time to prepare.

I thought you guys needed
a little alone time.

I know you don't get away from
the kids that much, right?

Thanks for thinking of us.

You're still good
for dinner tonight?

Yeah, sure. 8:00.
Is that all right?

Yeah. Awesome.

I'll see you then.
Good to see you, man.

Your passport.

- Do you have it?
- No, I don't.

- Why should I have it?
- Yeah. Okay.

No,
this... it's my fault.

Marcos booked the rooms
and I haven't told him yet.

Let me see.

You should
tell him before dinner.

Won't that be a bit awkward?

Then tell him after.

You guys are closer
anyways, right?

It's a
pretty great room, right?

Okay, I'm sure that they'll
have an extra cot or something.

You heard her.

The hotel is packed with
people for this conference.

All right, fine. I'll
sleep right there.

- On the couch.
- No, I will.

You know what?
Whatever you prefer.

I don't know what
the big deal is.

We just sat on an airplane

for six hours right
next to each other.

I just don't want to sleep
in the same room as you.

I need space to work.

Jesus, it's only for a few days.

That's not the point.

I mean, we haven't been under

the same roof together
in, like, months,

so it's not gonna kill you.

Could you please stop
talking? Thank you.

I don't like it
either, all right?

I'm just trying to
make the best of it.

Yeah, just like you.

Just trying to make the best

of a bad situation, right?

If I'm such a fucking asshole,

then why did you bother to come?

Because I need this.

Look...

I'll just be working
in the business center.

- Whatever. Fine.
- Yeah, and also,

I'll leave dinner early
tonight so you can tell Marcos.

I wish I had been there.

You should have seen
your husband's face

when he realized he was stuck.

- I was not stuck.
- That's bullshit.

No, no, no, no. Fine, I was...

I was choosing
not to go forward.

- Sounds the same to me.
- Okay, okay.

I was stuck. But in my defense,
it was fucking pouring rain.

- Where was this?
- Both: Uh, Brazil.

It was, like, five years ago.

Oh, yeah. Right
after Sadie was born.

I hope
you guys don't mind.

I ordered some Colombian food.

It's very nice. It's
called mondongo.

- You're gonna love it.
- Mondongo has meat, right?

There's meat in the...

- Yeah, no, no.
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

I forgot to tell you,

Sofia is a vegetarian now.

Really?

Since when?

When I was pregnant with
Andy, with our first,

I realized I couldn't eat
anything that had a mother.

- Okay, I can respect that.
- Mm.

I don't have a problem.

Josh: It's very
good. No, it's good.

I love to do my research.
I've been digging around.

Looks like a lot of pretty
awesome places to go hiking.

It's too bad you're
all booked up.

Well, I'm actually trying
to clear up my morning,

so do you know this place
called Cascada la Chorrera?

Josh: Uh, yeah. It's only
Colombia's highest waterfall.

- It's a beautiful place.
- No, it's very beautiful.

And it's very close. It's
in Choachi. Really close.

- You wanna go?
- Yeah, I wanna go. Let's do it.

Marcos: Hey, I noticed you
still have the same awful

- backpack you had in college.
- Oh, yeah.

The one strapped
with the duct tape.

Careful. That's
my lucky backpack.

Marcos: Well, it's
fucking terrible.

- It's pretty awful.
- Marcos: Right?

I hope you don't mind me
stealing your husband,

- but if you wanna come...
- No, no.

Sof wouldn't be into it.

Really?

Not really your thing, is it?

I love hiking. We
used to do it a lot.

Sof, you haven't been
hiking in, like, ten years?

So what? It doesn't mean
I stopped enjoying it.

It must be hard to hike
with the little ones

- strapped to your back.
- Exactly.

But you know what?
I should pass.

Not because I don't like
it or I don't enjoy it,

but because I have a lot of
prep to do before Friday.

I'm telling you, you're
going to do great.

I don't know about
this guy, but...

Yeah, well, I'm gonna
do the same presentation

I've been doing for
years, so I'll be fine.

Actually, I should head to bed.

Bye, guys.

Did I say something wrong?

No, no. It's not you.

I was gonna tell you earlier.
I should have, probably.

Sofia and I have decided
that we're gonna split up.

What? When?

It's fairly recent, so...

Wow. You guys are
the perfect couple.

Yeah.

Are you seeing someone else?

It's not that. It's just, um...

We've changed and we'll
be better off apart.

I don't know what to say.

Say, "Josh, what time
am I picking you up

so we can go hiking
tomorrow morning?"

Okay.

Cheers.

Sofia: Why aren't you dressed?

Oh, Marcos couldn't get free.

Oh. Okay.

I think I wanna go.

- To?
- Choachi.

I don't get many chances to
do stuff like this, so, yeah.

Are you gonna go by yourself?

Who else would I go with?

Come on, Sofia.

I'll be back tonight.

I... I can go with you.

I'll be fine on my own.

I know I'm the last person

that you wanna be around
right now, but come on.

It's not safe to go hiking
around here by yourself.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. Let's go. Let's go.

- Okay.
- Josh: No, no, no, wait.

Is this the only road?

Because, I mean, that's
gonna take us hours, right?

Sofia: Well, looks like if
we drove through this area,

- we'll get there faster?
- Pedro: No, no, no, no, no.

That's Las Arenas.
It's not a safe place.

What's Las Arenas?
I've never heard of it.

It's north of Choachi,
close to the water.

Even locals won't go there.
It's quite dangerous.

I'm a pretty
experienced hiker, so...

Um, wildlife there is dangerous.

Particularly
snakes. Big snakes.

Snakes? I'm Colombian.

I don't remember snakes
being in cold mountains.

Times have changed.

As climate gets warmer, you
have new species coming in.

Not to talk about the erosion.

You see, the land
is not very steady.

You have steep ravines,
unsteady ground.

- We'll avoid it, then.
- No, no, no, I mean,

the other way,
it'll save us time.

- No way. I hate snakes.
- She's right.

Las Arenas is not a place
you want to find yourself.

Would you help me
with this, please?

Thank you.

This altitude is no joke.

- Here.
- Thanks.

Thank you for waiting for me.

I had a cramp.

Okay.

Oh, shit.

Ah, that's not good. Fuck.

Babe, we gotta turn back.

We're not going back.

We're so close. You
really wanna cut it short?

No, I don't want
to cut it short.

But I definitely don't
want to get caught in that.

Come on. We gotta
go. Trust me.

We gotta go.

- Okay.
- Come on, we gotta walk fast.

Thanks.

Oh, shit. Shit. He's
breaking into the car.

- I'll go talk to him.
- No. What are you doing?

- No, we don't.
- Yes, we do.

Please, stay put
until he leaves.

- What if he steals the car?
- You're not going out there.

- I'm just gonna scare him off.
- Hey, he's not a pigeon.

- You don't know what he'll do.
- Yeah, well... listen.

Shh! Look, I am not
getting stuck here.

- Please.
- No. Shh.

Please, please.

Stay hidden, stay out of sight.

I've got this. Just back off.

Josh: Hey!

Can I
help you with something?

Whoa. Oh! Whoa, whoa.

No have money.

No wallet.

Yeah. Okay.

She
left. It's only me.

It's only me.

What are you doing?

Shh!

Run! Run!

Josh: Go!

Go, go go!

Are you okay?

We should go that way,
where no one goes.

Las Arenas. He
won't follow us.

Wait, wait, wait. Wait.

Do you think he's gone?

Fuck, I don't know.

- What the fuck are we gonna do?
- Okay, listen.

Listen to me.
We'll do your plan.

We'll go to Las Arenas and
we'll wait out the storm.

All right? Come on.

Come on!

What?

- You had to be the hero.
- So this is my fucking fault?

You always think you can talk
yourself out of everything.

How was I supposed to
know that he had a gun?

If you had stayed
put as I told you,

none of this would
have happened!

You are un-fucking-believable!

Just run!

Run, Sof! Run! Go!

Sofia: Josh.

Josh.

Josh?

Josh!

Josh!

Josh!

Fuck!

Help!

Sofia!

- Sofia!
- Josh! Josh!

Josh! Josh! Josh!

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

Stop, stop!

Calm... calm down, okay?

Try and move to my hand.

- It's too thick.
- Baby, you gotta try, okay?

- I can't! I'm stuck!
- Okay, just hang on.

Hang on. Hang on.

I can't even stick out my arms!

Hold on!

Wait, okay?

Try to reach it, okay?

Come on, baby! You can do it!

Try, babe. Come on.

Get it.

Ah, fuck! Okay, wait.

Wait.

Hold on, okay?

Just stay calm, okay?

No, no! Don't!

Stop moving! Stop
moving! Don't move!

Stop moving! Sofia!

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

Come on, come on. I
got you. I got you.

Come on, come on. Come on!

I got you. I got
you! Okay? I got you.

I got you. I got you.

I got you. I got you.

- It's okay. It's okay.
- What... what did you...

Shh, shh, shh. Just stay calm.

- But why... why are you here?
- No, no, no. Stay calm.

I don't... don't move,
okay? Don't move.

We both need to be
perfectly still, okay?

You should've...

I think...

I think this is like quicksand.

Josh, you there?
I got free early.

Josh?

Marcos, buddy,

I know we were gonna
meet up later, but, uh,

Sofia and I are gonna
actually go hiking in Choachi,

so we probably won't
be back till late,

and I guess I'll see you
tomorrow, man. Cheers.

Okay.

Josh: At least it
stopped raining.

Sofia: I think I
moved a little.

- Josh: No, you didn't.
- Look!

Josh: You didn't, honey.

I need... I
need to look at your head.

- Come on.
- It's fine.

Baby, let me look at your head.

We just need to get out of this.

God, isn't it crazy
that we're stuck?

Well, I wouldn't
worry too much, okay?

I've never heard of anybody
fucking dying in quicksand.

Won't it suck us down?

No, it doesn't work that way.

The weight of the mud,

its density is... it's
heavier than the human body.

- How the fuck do you know that?
- The guidebook.

It says water, it flows
in and it gets trapped

underneath the dirt and
it creates this fucking

heavy as shit mud.

- How far down does it go?
- I don't know.

Didn't the guidebook tell
you how to get out of this?

No.

Okay, just give me... Give
me a second here, okay?

I'm gonna try to go backward.

Just push me. Just... no.

Don't do that. No, I
just... Just... I just...

Oh, fuck, fuck, fuck.
I can't move, man.

Look over there.

Josh: Where did
that come from?

I think I knocked it
loose when I was falling.

See how it is resting
over the surface?

Maybe I can spread out my
body weight so I won't sink.

- Try to push me over the edge.
- Sof.

Try to push me over the edge.

We can't even move
our fucking legs.

Please.

- Just try.
- What do you want me to do?

- Give me your hand.
- Okay.

- Stay put.
- Okay. Wait. Just wait.

Let me get this hand
fucking down there.

Give me a... I can grab you.
Just... just wait. Wait.

No, fuck it. Just
hold on. Fuck.

It's not working. It's
not gonna work. Just wait.

Try to take off my boot.

Let me try.

- Fuck.
- What?

- There's something down here.
- What?

- What? What do you mean?
- There's something down here.

- What do you mean?
- I don't know what it is.

- Oh, shit. Okay, I'll...
- Let's try to pull it.

- At three. Together, okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

- One, two, three.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Fuck! Fuck!

- Fuck!
- Jesus fucking Christ.

- Look at his skin.
- Yeah.

The tissue degradation
on his face.

He starved to death.

Fuck.

Okay, okay.

Baby.

I'm gonna try to get
his pack off, all right?

I got his pack.

Let me help. Let me help.

I can't stand this.

We should put him
back. Help me.

Hang on.

Let's see what he's got.

Look.

- There's a knife.
- Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Some light reading material.

What was he out here hunting?

I don't think we wanna know.

Two shells left.

Why didn't he just kill himself?

- Brutal way to die.
- Yeah. Okay.

The way I see it, we only
got two ways out of here.

Either someone pulls us out.

No one knows we're
here, Josh! No one!

Okay! So we got to
pull ourselves out.

- How?
- Look behind me.

You see that tree
stump and that rock?

What about it?

They look strong enough
to hold your weight.

- It's fucking far away.
- Yeah.

So...

we cut this backpack into strips

and we tie it together.

It's cotton canvas.

It should hold.

- You're gonna lasso that rock?
- No.

You are.

I'm not sure I can do it.

Sof, it's our only
fucking chance.

Help me.

I'll hold the bag, you cut.
Watch your fucking fingers.

Yeah.

Cut. Watch your fingers.
Watch your fingers.

Josh: Wait.

Wait one sec. One
sec, one sec, one sec.

Come on. Watch your
fingers. Here, here.

Here. Okay.

Okay. That's that.

Do you think it'll be enough?

We'll see.

Remember that
conference in Texas?

I was just thinking about that.

We were about to take
that rodeo lesson.

- You got food poisoning.
- Yeah.

Who orders twenty oysters
in a restaurant in Texas?

I don't know.

A lasso would have
come in handy then.

Hey.

You got this.

I'll do my best.

Okay. You got it. You got it.

Here, just wait.
Let me hold this up.

I can just... pull
this stuff up.

Okay. Go.

How short are we?

- I think eight feet or so.
- Fuck.

Maybe if we cut the straps,
we can make it longer.

No, no. I made them
this thick for a reason.

Need to make sure
they don't break.

Okay, wait.

I'll take off my jacket.
We'll use my jacket.

- Are you able to do it?
- Yeah, I can do it.

- I'll do the same.
- No. No.

Sof, you gotta keep
yours on, okay?

- You'll freeze to death.
- We need more than one.

What then?

Marcos. Marcos will come.

He'll find us.

We just said it.

They don't have a
clue where we are.

But in the morning,
when we're not there,

- he'll know something's up.
- And then do what?

And then he'll fucking...
He'll call the police.

They'll send out a search party.

Do you know how big
is this rainforest?

Marcos thinks we are, like,
an hour away from this.

That is not the point.

The point is people
will be looking for us.

Josh! Look!

Hey! Hey, we're here!

- Hey!
- We're here!

- Josh: Hey, hey!
- Hey!

It's one of those
sight-seeing tours. Hey!

Sofia: Hey!

Josh: Fuck, they can't see us.

Hey! Hey!

The whole point of that
tour is to look down.

They could see us.

The trees are too fucking thick.

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?

They will see the
fire or the smoke.

- Sofia, it's not gonna work.
- Yes, it's gonna work.

- It's not gonna work.
- Yes, it's gonna work!

- Honey. Honey.
- Fuck.

It's not gonna catch on
fire. It's not gonna work.

- It's gonna work.
- You would need a stack

of dry Bibles to
catch on fire, okay?

There's not gonna
be any fucking fire.

This is the only thing we have.

I told you.

It's not gonna work.

No, no, no, no, stop. Stop!

- We need to make real fire!
- No!

- Let me do it! Let me do it!
- No!

If you burn this and
they don't see it,

it's all we fucking have!

We don't have anything anyways.

Let me! We're gonna
lose our chance...

You're not gonna
fucking burn it!

You're not fucking burning
it! You're not burning it!

You're not fucking burning it.

We just fucked up our chance.

Someone's gonna find us.

Do you have any granola bar
in your pocket by any chance?

All the food, the water,
it's all in my backpack.

We're gonna get dehydrated.

You don't know that.
You don't know...

By this time
tomorrow we might be

in the dining room at the hotel,

having lunch, laughing
about all this with Marcos.

- I don't think so.
- I'm just...

I'm trying to stay positive.

Fuck. It's early!

We might get back tonight
in time for dinner.

Could you please stop talking
about dinner and breakfast?

I just don't want to
be reminded. Thank you.

You're the one
who brought it up!

It's true.

Ouch! Ow, ow! Ouch, ouch!

- What's wrong?
- Something bit me.

- What?
- Ouch! It's killing me.

- Help me! Help me!
- I can't... I can't reach you.

It's ants. Fucking
swipe them away.

- Help me. What...
- I can't fucking reach you.

- What is... the fuck?
- Ants. Ants.

Wait, wait, wait. Just
give me a second. Hang on.

Hang on. I got something.

Okay. Here, use this,
use this, use this.

The alcohol acts as a repellent.
Yes. Yeah, it's working.

Your neck, your neck, your
neck. Your fucking neck.

Over there, over there.
Right there, right there.

- Right there. It's working.
- Fuck.

- Oh, it's burning.
- Yeah, yeah. In the back.

- In the back. In the back.
- Oh, it's burning. Oh!

It worked. It's working.
It worked, baby.

Okay. Okay. Oh, babe.

Baby, baby. Baby, baby, baby.

No, I still feel them.
I still feel them.

- No, no, they're gone. Hon.
- Ow, fuck.

Sof, they're gone, baby.
You're okay. You're okay.

We got them. We got them.
You're okay. They're gone.

They're gone.

You have been
carrying this around?

I had it tucked away.

In your underwear?

I didn't... I didn't
want you to see it.

You don't have a granola
bar, but you have vodka.

You were sober for so long.

Or at least I thought that.

- When did you start again?
- I don't know.

I don't know.

It's... it's, um...

it's been a while.

Have you been drinking
at the hospital?

No. No. Sofia, no.

You know I'd never do that.

Then why?

I've been under a lot of stress.

The work.

With us.

- Us?
- Yeah. Getting divorced sucks.

Trust me. I know, too.

But, you know, we're
miserable, right?

We just walk around
like fucking strangers.

Strangers would
have been better.

You and me...

we didn't even like each other.

Why didn't we use the rifle?

What?

Why didn't we shoot it to get
the helicopter's attention?

Hand it to me.

What?

Please.

Just be very
careful. It's loaded.

Sofia: We just need
eight more feet.

Think it'll hold?

- It's about two feet.
- Who cares?

It's not gonna be long enough.

Sofia: At least I'm trying.

- It's something.
- We need to accept

that we're gonna be
here for a long while,

- maybe even days.
- Not if we get creative.

Marcos will notice
that we're missing.

- We can't rely on him.
- Yes, we can.

We just need to find a way to...

Fuck. Fuck!

Josh! Fuck! A snake!

It can't come on this
quicksand, right?

Listen to me. Listen to me.

Shh. Don't move.

It's defending its young.

The egg. I knocked it out.

Is it venomous?

- Fuck, probably.
- Fuck.

Josh: Okay, we can't
let it bite us,

so pick up the gun.
Pick up the gun.

Pick up the gun.
Honey, pick up the gun.

I've never used one before.

You can do this. Pick it up
now. Pick it up now, all right?

You got it.

Baby, you can do it.

It's a shotgun.
It's got a big kick,

but the good news is
whatever you point it at,

you're probably gonna kill it.

Come on. Honey, honey?

Let me see.

Josh: This is
bad. This is bad.

Oh, God, it's bad.
It's bad. It is bad.

I need to slow down the venom.

We need every inch of the rope.

No, no, no. I need
you to shut up, okay?

I need your heart rate to
stay as low as possible.

Ah! Jesus!

Okay, we know... we know...

We both know how
this goes, okay?

The venom attacks
the cells, yeah?

Then it attacks the organs.

Okay, my organs are
going to shut down.

I need to get to a hospital.

No, no. So, look at me.
Calm down. All right?

We still have time.
We still have time.

- We don't.
- Six hours. Maybe more.

I'm gonna be in a
fuckload of pain, baby.

I'm gonna be in a
fuckload of pain.

Hey.
Hey, look at me.

Are my friends alive?

Do you want money?

I've got 200 dollars.
If you want them,

they are yours but
tell me where they are.

Hand them over.

They are upstairs in my bag.

When we get out of here

I'll tell the police this
was all a misunderstanding,

I made a mistake and then
I give you the money.

Give me that watch.

It was my dad's.

Then don't give me anything.

This is worth a lot, you
better start talking.

A week ago, I was
hunting snakes.

- Snakes?
- Yes.

Venom is well paid. Skins too,

- I was at Las Arenas.
- Is that where they are?

That's where I saw them.

But they are alright.

Do you know why they
call it Las Arenas?

That place is called Las Arenas

because there's a
lot of quicksands,

There's no quicksand in this
country; that's bullshit.

Did you know I went hunting with
a friend, but I came back alone.

If you don't want to believe
me, it's your problem,

but they are in danger.

Hey, buddy, I'm a doctor.

I organized the conference
here. Let me out.

I mean it; My friends
are in danger.

If you want, call the manager.

Let me out!

Josh: Fuck!

I won't calm down.

I won't fucking calm down
'cause is fucking bullshit!

- Just try. Try to relax!
- All we did was go on a hike!

And now we're stuck in
fucking... Fucking quicksand!

But just try to
relax, all right?

Fuck this fucking...

fucking place.

Josh, the faster
your heart rate,

the faster the venom
spreads, remember? Right?

Mm-hmm.

All right. Okay.

Isn't that amazing?

One minute I'm at a fucking
golf course with my buddies.

My phone rings. It's
Marcos. He's like,

"Hey, Josh, man,

think Sof can join us in
Colombia for the conference?"

Now look at us. We're
here in beautiful Bogota.

I just got...

I just got bitten by a
fucking giant venomous snake.

- Stop. Stop.
- Fuck. Fuck.

- Fuck.
- Let me see your arm.

It's no use. Okay?

It'll be no different than

the last time you
looked at it, honey.

Honey, honey.

Honey, there's nothing
you can do for me.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Why did you change your mind?

About what?

About going hiking
with me and Marcos.

I already told you.

You sure there wasn't
something else?

No. That was it.

You blame me.

For what?

If I hadn't changed my mind,

you'd be preparing
for your lecture.

No. No, no, no. I
didn't say that.

But it's true.

Honey, don't put words in
my mouth. That's not what...

Then why did you
bring it up now?

I don't know.

Because it's my fault?

I'm so sorry.

Me, too.

Ah, fuck. Oh!

Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.

- Oh, fuck. Oh, fuck.
- Let me see. Let me see.

- Does it hurt?
- It hurts everywhere.

Do you feel when
I press down here?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- Are they warm?
- Yeah.

It's pretty hot.

- I think it's thrombophlebitis.
- What?

It's coagulating your
blood, turning it to Jell-O.

At least dying by a
stroke is better than

starving to death, right?

Don't say that.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?
No, no. Sofia.

There's a clot.

It's blocking your blood
flow to your brain.

You're gonna have a stroke.
I have to do this, all right?

Put down the knife.

You haven't done anything
like this in years.

I'm still a doctor.

I'm gonna cut your
clot, all right?

Honey. Baby, come on.

Fuck.

Just let me. All right?

Why won't you let me?

Because there's only
one bullet left.

You have to trust me
when I'm telling you

we're gonna get out of this.

No one's coming for us.

- Let me. Oh, shit.
- Honey.

No. Oh, my God. It's
getting worse. Jesus.

- I have to do it now.
- I don't want you to.

I've taken two oaths in my life.

One as a doctor.

One as a wife.

You don't get to decide.

Baby.
Baby, look at me.

It's gonna hurt.

Yep.

- Where you gonna cut?
- Carotid artery.

Make sure you seal it
up when you're done?

I won't let you bleed
out, believe me.

I love you. I...

We're almost there.
You're doing great, babe.

Almost done.

We're almost there, babe.

Here.

Fuck.

Oh, my God.

Hi.

How are you feeling?

My body is a little numb.

Stop it, stop it, stop it.

Okay.

It's in shock.

How long was I out?

An hour, I guess.

- You did it.
- We made it.

You did it.

Thank you.

Do you remember what you
said before you passed out?

Yeah.

Did you mean it?

Did I mean it?

Yeah, I did.

Do you think our kids already
know that we're missing?

God, I hope not.

Yeah, maybe not.

There's one thing that
keeps going through my mind

over and over in this
sick and stupid way.

What's that?

That I'm not gonna get
to give that lecture.

Isn't it crazy that I'm
so consumed with that?

That is not crazy.

No, it's not crazy.

Maybe I just needed it.

It was so important.

Something to bring my confidence
back before I started work.

You don't need a
lecture to do that.

I do, though. More
than you think.

- Josh, I was so good.
- Uh-huh.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- I was really good.

Top of our class. The
first to be published.

I got staffed at the number
one hospital in the city.

You're a great doctor.

But then I stopped.

I know I was making
the right decision.

I still believe that.

I wanted to be
around for the kids.

But there's this thing
I just... I just lost.

I became a mother.

Your wife.

But somehow me?

Me. Sofia.

It's so hard to find sometimes.

I don't know where I am.

I still see the real you.

You don't, though.

Should've said this
to you more often.

- I should've... no.
- Please stop.

The sacrifice you
made to stop working?

Stay home with our kids?

They are so much better
off because of it.

Sof, you're such a good mother.

They are so lucky to have you.

I was so lucky to have you.

I can't stop
thinking about them.

- I know.
- Our home waiting for us.

I don't want them to be alone.

I don't wanna leave them.

They're going to
be okay, you know?

They're... They're
going to be okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

So I need eight more
feet to lasso that rock.

Hmm. Maybe, yeah.

The snake.

It's longer than eight feet.

Okay, what do you mean?

It's thick. It won't break.

- Uh-huh.
- We can use it as a rope.

I don't think the snake's
gonna let you tie it

to a rope backpack
around its head.

I'm gonna kill it.

I need to get you out of this.

- Honey?
- Mm.

That snake might be miles
away from here by now.

No, it is near.

It's a mother
protecting her eggs.

She must be around here.

Her nest. Its nest.

It must be around here.

- We just need to find it.
- Okay.

Yes. It's right there.

Honey.

I can't turn my head.

Don't try to.

I'm not gonna be
able to help you.

Don't try.

Just stay calm. Stay with me.

- You'll be fine. I'll do it.
- Yeah.

All right? I can do it.

Just stay with me.

Stay with me.

Stay with me.

Get us out of here.

Did you get it?
Did you get it?

Did you get it?

Just stay with me, all right?

Yeah.

Baby.

Josh. Josh!

Josh. Josh.

Hey. Grab my hand.

You made it.

Baby!

Grab my hand!

I can't.

Yes, you can.

I can't move.

Baby.

- You gotta go get help.
- No, no, no.

- We have no time. Baby.
- Go get help.

- I'm not gonna leave you.
- Go get help.

No, no. No. No.

I'm not gonna leave you.

Go.

Marcos: Sofia! Sofia!

Josh!

Josh!

Josh!
