Dark Woods Page #3

Synopsis: The crew of the TV show "Real TV" with controlling boss Gunnar on the front line will soon begin production of a reality show for which participants are selected to survive in the wilderness. Gunnar has gathered a production team of four people: The friends Lasse and Per , the Swedish girl Elin and the new girl Sara. To test his new employees, Gunnar takes them to a log cabin where he used to spend summers as a kid. The cabin is located far away from civilisation, hidden in the dark, mysterious woods. The team has to make it through a weekend, finding food that nature has to offer, and neither cellular phones nor cigarettes are allowed. When Lasse and Per find a dead body in a lake near the cottage, the group is being tested. Gunnar is suggesting that they should continue the weekend without mentioning anything to Sara and Elin about what they found. But soon the team experiences some escalating incidents which lead to paranoia, accusations and mistrust.

someone other than yourself.

We'll be back in a couple of hours.

You should be done by then.

I'll do anything but this.

Anything.

-How about the Star?

-The Star?

An old Indian game

we played when we were kids.

Per liked to tie people down and

wait for the ants to come get them.

Good idea.

Why, Gunnar? You can't punish me

for checking my cell phone.

Sure I can.

Gunnar,

forget about your ghosts for once.

I agree with Gunnar. The same rules

should apply to everybody.

I want to marry you.

I want you to have my baby.

Gunnar could be your father!

-Not likely.

-Let's go.

Lasse, my best friend ...

You get to relax.

We have to go out

with the guide from hell -

- and do God knows what.

-And I get to stay here.

Is this the thanks I get

for fixing that tape recorder?

Don't go down to the pond.

There's something in the water.

I want all those logs up here.

He's kidding, right?

No.

Turn it over.

Sh*t!

-Can't you even carry a log?

-Shut up!

Give up?

This'll get the nicotine

out of your body.

What are we doing here?

I want to go back to Per.

Everything has a purpose.

That you can be macho

in front of the girls?

Don't forget

that I'm paying you for this.

Now we're curious, Gunnar.

-What are you making?

-Ever hear of Sisyphus?

Sisyphus tried to cheat death.

He was doomed forever in Hades

to roll a boulder up a steep hill.

Every time he reached the top,

the boulder would roll back down.

Sisyphus was a happy man.

You've worked with him for 15 years,

and let him carry on like this?

Yes.

Leave me alone.

You need to rest this foot

for a couple of days.

You don't need

to always act so tough.

I'm serious.

Where's the Gunnar

I enjoy working with?

The one who cares about people.

I've never tolerated disloyalty.

You know all about that.

But punishments? And this grind?

What are you up to?

How old is your daughter?

Do you get to meet her

often enough?

Isn't that more important than

turning these idiots into a team?

There's plenty here.

Go away!

Take it out.

It's cool.

Look at all those ants at work.

-They keep the forest clean.

-You're sick, all of you.

Whoever put this here, is sick.

Per?

Gunnar?

Per?

He got loose.

Look at this.

Leave it.

Let him clean this up himself.

Come on.

Let's get this crap out of here.

Where could he be, Gunnar?

Where is he?

He probably went home.

And waved this dream job goodbye?

-He wasn't the right type.

-Shouldn't we go look for him?

Who goes home

and leaves their keys behind?

I don't like this.

Maybe there's something out there.

There is something out there.

What?

We found something in the pond

by that tent.

Do you want to tell them
