with my ability to write.

Actually...

this is a great idea.

Thank you.

You should write it

in first person

from the prospective

of a non-adventurer,

and in one week,

you try every extreme sport

that they have there.

I'm sorry, what?

Well, you wanted a story.

Right?

Well, this is it.

But what about

Cole Taylor, sir?

You're a travel writer,

not an investigative journalist.

This story

should be about you.

The deadline

is a week from Monday.

You'd better get going.

That is a--

that is a great idea.

Thank you. Mr. McHugh.

You will not regret this.

Extreme sports?

Alex, do you even know

what that means?

No, but I am

an excellent researcher.

Pretty sure

that's not the same thing.

But I believe in you.

Thank you. Mr. McHugh thinks

it's gonna be great

Now I have the entire

flight to Denver

to become an expert

on all things extreme.

Uh, can you...

can you cover for me on

"World's Best" while I'm away?

Yes!

I'm no longer

the "World's Worst"!

Oh, and Alex?

Be a warrior, not a worrier.

Right.

[Kate]:
I'm heading

to the airport now.

You're actually doing this?

Yep! The deadline

is next Monday,

so that gives me

seven days to face my fears

and--

and write this story.

I thought we'd go away

this weekend.

You and me, the Berkshires?

Barton, you're not

making this any easier.

No, I-I need to do this.

For myself, for my career,

for us.

It's my big chance.

I finally get to step

outside of my comfort zone.

Okay. One week,

you'll be back?

Then I'm back.

All right.

Knock 'em dead, babe.

Maybe we don't mention death

when I'm about to go do

extreme sports?

Right, sorry.

Just please be safe.

Safe, I will be.

I hope.

[quietly, to self]:

"I'm a warrior, not a worrier."

[thudding and banging]

What was that?

[sighs irately]

My mechanic thinks

it's the axle.

Now, the tow truck

driver's swamped,

but he should be here

in a few hours.

A few hours?

Sorry, miss,

but, luckily,

if you're in a hurry,

the resort is just

a mile up the road.

[resigned sigh]

"Don't be complacent,"

they said.

"Go on an adventure,"

they said.

[cell rings]

Hi, Kate.

Yeah, I'm here.

Okay, good.

Just checking.

Yup. But I'm on foot.

I don't understand.

Are you on the highway?

Kate, I think

there's a man following me.

Did you

say "a van"?

A mountain man

in a Jeep.

I gotta go, okay?

I gotta go.

He's gonna kidnap me,

he's gonna throw

my bag in the bushes,

and no one's ever gonna

be able to find me.

Excuse me, ma'am?

Need a ride?

I'm good, thanks!

I'm going the same way.

[scoffs] Why not?

Just get into a Jeep

with a complete stranger.

You sure?

'Cause that bag looks heavy.
