They cut to the left of the fire...

right here. They took all our stuff.

They cut your tent,

went off to the west over here.

And where exactly were you

when this was happening?

- I was sleeping.

- You must sleep pretty goddamn deep.

I drank a fifth of whiskey.

Are you telling me that somebody came,

and they took our tent, took our food,

took our water, and drew X's on our heads,

and you didn't hear or see a f***ing thing?

- Neither did you.

- Neither did I. I had my headphones on.

Sean. Buddy. Remember

when we were in high school,

and we were drinking Wild Turkey,

and I woke up wearing women's underwear?

If this is your idea of a practical joke,

it really isn't funny.

It might've been funny when you were drunk

and you decided to f*** with us, but...

this is not funny. I'm hot, I'm hung over,

and I'm not in the mood to f*** around.

Where's the stuff, Sean?

Where's my cell phone? Seriously.

I have e-mails I have to send,

I have conference calls I have to make.

- Where is my cell phone? I need it?

- Calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down.

Sean, where's my phone?

- They must have taken it.

- Who is they? What... who is they?

There was three of them, Mike.

Three sets of prints that aren't ours.

You could have made the tracks yourself.

You could have put the X on your head.

- This could all be part of your little game.

- It's not a game, Michael.

They took our guns.

The knives. They took my dog.

- Maybe your dog just ran away.

- He didn't, okay?

It doesn't make sense.

Sean, who would take our stuff?

Let's not stick around

to find out, okay?

Let's just get out of here

and get back to the car.

- Come on, let's go.

- It's okay. I can hotwire the car.

Well, how do we find the car if we didn't

take the trails and we don't have a map?

The sun's our map.

I really don't wanna step on a snake.

I think I just stepped in poison oak.

- It has to be 100 degrees.

- I'm considering drinking my own sweat.

It was nice of them to steal

our entire water supply.

Them? Or him.

I don't think he's taking us

back to the car.

Where would he be taking us?

Just stay close to me.

Okay. Keep heading east.

When you get to the spray paint

compass point,

it's gonna be three miles

past that to the east.

You guys want to get there by sundown,

you need to keep going.

- Are you not coming with us?

- No. I'm not.

I'm not gonna leave Buck behind, Mike.

I'm not gonna leave my dog.

So you want us to leave you behind.

Yeah, I'm gonna be fine. You guys keep

going. Just get going. Take that path.

- That path is not the path we took before.

- Take my word for it, Mike.

I'm not taking directions from you.
