a million miles to a road.

That's because we came up

over the thing,

and we saw that whole layout.

There was nothing there.

We didn't see anything.

And then in the morning...

In the morning, we walked north.

In the morning, we...

In the morning,

we definitely walked north.

And then we gerried off

to the animaI tracks,

which was east -

which was west,

but it doesn't matter -

When we hit the tracks,

we took a left,

which was going...

...which was going west.

But more importantly, when I

got up, when we split up,

and I was walking up

on my scout-about,

I was looking into the sun,

which means that it was east.

Um...

So, and then,

when I was on the rock,

and I was looking at you,

the sun was...

When we came down,

we went in that direction.

That means we were going east,

and we walked for a long time.

And our scout-about was east,

so we gerried the scout-about.

We went up

the wrong f***in' mountain.

Okay?

So our direction's

been north-northeast,

but if we spin the f***er

and just go north,

balls-out north,

we're gonna hit

the f***in' highway

because we can't go south.

South is a f***ing

disaster for us.

It would take too f***ing long

to get there.

All right, then let's go north.

Come on, let's go.

We may as welI just sit here.

You know why

I think we should go?

Why?

Because I've got water.

Come on, don't f***in' joke.

I'm not joking.

I found water.

I know exactly where the car is.

How?

Just figured it out.

It was another f***in' mirage.

It was a mirage.

What are you doing?

I really wanted to...

walk up to you and say I had

two bottles of water,

and that I knew

where the car was.

Come on, we gotta go.

Come on.

How do you think

the hike's going so far?

Pretty good.

I'm leaving.
