what I did to Pete.

I like

what you did for us.

[EXHALES]

Thanks.

It's already so hot.

Yeah.

ADAM:

All right...

shouldn't take any longer than

a couple of hours

to hike

up to the summit.

We descend

from there.

Don't we need more stuff?

There's a research hut

on the other side of the gorge.

It's got supplies in it.

You got Nemo?

- Huh?

- Your phone.

He hasn't got long left,

just patches

of reception.

He's not the only fish

out of water.

Okay.

You gonna walk

this slowly the whole way?

Couldn't you find a bug

in, like, the Bahamas?

ADAM:

'Cause of the heat,

they spend

most of their lives underground,

come up

for three weeks a year.

You know,

when I find it,

I'm gonna name it

after you.

Who?

Scarabaeoidea.

The whole reason

that we're...

Never mind.

It all kinda looks

the same.

I find it frightening.

Right.

The smaller stone...

in the direction of home...

and there you go.

[PHONE CHIMES]

You can always

turn it off.

[WATER RUNNING]

All right.

Here we are.

Ah, we'll climb

straight down from here.

[GRUNTS]

Okay.

Gwynn.

Look.

It's a baboon spider.

GWYNN:

It's creepy beautiful.

- Does he bite?

- No.

- Okay.

- This one's got tiny jaws.

Hold him?

This one actually looks like

he's been stung by a wasp.

That's why

he's so docile.

A wasp will probably be digging

around here somewhere.

She'll bury him alive.

Why?

Mm, keep him fresh

for her eggs,

which she's already

laid inside of him.

Isn't there

anything we can do?

It's already done.

No, let me go first.

ADAM:

Just watch your step.

The snakes are out

this time of year.

- That's comforting.

- Don't worry about it.

The birds'll let you know

if you get too close.

Butcherbird makes

a hell of a noise.

Wow.

GWYNN:

Look at this place.

It's magical.

Worth it, right?

How did you find it?

I don't know.

It's just...

perk of the trade,

I guess.

Right.

We should keep moving.

This is

no place to camp.

The sun will hit early.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'm done.

I am in love

with this place.

[METAL SCRAPES]

[BIRDS SQUAWKING]

You hungry?

Thank you.

Camp out here.

The wine'll

make up for it.

I know this.

Italy.

Remember?

Under the olive trees.

How did you find it?

Oh, might have hidden one away

for a special occasion.

What took you

so long to get here?

I'm here.

Okay...

[INSECTS CHIRPING,

BIRDCALLS CONTINUE]
