The internet cannot stop talking about

Popular influencer Shiloh Hunter and her friend Becky decided to climb a tower all by themselves and it ended in tragedy.

2,000 feet in the air on a tower in the middle of nowhere.

We've made it!

Did you see the video that's going viral right now?

That clip? The one of the fall?

Oh my god!

Hunter, are you okay? You're gonna have to pull me up.

This should not be online. My heart stopped.

No way down. And no way to call for help.

You would have thought that Hunter's story would have ended there.

And seeing Shiloh's tragedy turned into a trend.

It's all over the internet.

Fans are even calling themselves her... call-o-ers.

Shiloh's crusty Bronco showed up on eBay.

Hunter's famous Bronco!

It's just like disrespectful what these people try and do.

He's a Bronco sister!

I don't want any Bronco!

Amidst all the crazy, crazy stunt she's done,

I think there's some real beauty in what she had to say.

You have to do something that makes you feel alive.

That was amazing.

But don't worry, you'll still be famous if you fall.

My sister talked a lot about you.

Considered you family.

I'm surprised we never met.

The, um, police recovered it a few weeks back.

Had a lot of offers, but...

Thank you.

I'm not gonna sell it to one of those crazy hardcore fans.

I understand that.

Jesus.

That's familiar.

Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho.

Shit.

No.

What is that?

It...

You didn't watch any of your sister's posts?

It's like her ultimate bucket list.

Every single crazy adventure and insane stunt she planned is in here.

I was just trying to make her way through it all, but, uh...

Barely made it halfway.

Do you mind if I take a couple of pictures of these pages?

No.

Hi, I can use my mind.

Oh, come on.

Don't be a little bitch.

I am not letting you list out now.

You know what? You can have it.

Just take it.

Take all of it.

You'd be, uh...

You'd be doing me a favor.

Are you sure?

Mm-hmm.

I mean, this...

This is all Shiloh.

Yeah.

No, please take it.

I have...

I have, like, a ton more in the kitchen and I can't...

I don't...

I don't want it.

Hey, it's okay.

Sorry.

Come on.

Don't apologize.

The last time I saw that was...

The last time I saw her, I, uh...

I said something that I shouldn't have and it's killing me.

And, uh...

I can't...

Think or...

Eat or...

Sleep or...

Hey.

It's okay.

I need this.

Consider it...

Maybe that's what you need.

To finish something that Shiloh started.

What do you mean?

Move on.

Get the closure you need.

You can finish her list.

It's one page at a time.

We can even shoot it on her camera.

Real danger-ty style.

Why do you even want to help me?

You don't even know me.

When I met your sister...

I was...

Scared of...

My own shadow.

But there was...

Something in her spirit that gave me the strength to face some really dark shit.

Hm.

Her next stop was gonna be...

Thailand.

The plank walk of the Mount Kwan.

The what?

This was from one of Shai's last posts.

A walk twists around the Devil's elbow, which sits 4,000 feet above sea level.

Ending at a spiritual statue the locals call the Death Dragon.

They say, when you make it to the dragon, it eats your fears.

Come with me.

No.

Sorry.

It's okay.

I'm not like my sister.

I'm not brave.

I am...

I am Shab.

And...

a wife.

Do you?

This is your moment.

To be free.

Keep it.

Think about it, Jax.

It might be that point in time where if you don't do it now, you might never.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

In a forum that we can find a guide to take us to the top at a bar called High Spirits.

What do you think Icarus on the rocks means?

No idea.

Okay, so we'll have to divert from the tourist walk and take the Death Dragon route to the Western Peak.

Hunter's notes say it's been closed for decades. Too dangerous for the general public.

Police have stopped traffickers using large shipments of fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine over the border to Myanmar.

They have police checkpoints at the entrance to the Mt. Quan trail.

They take no prisoners, that's for sure.

They're looking for drug runners trying to smuggle drugs over the border to Myanmar via the closed route.

Oh my god.

We're just tourists taking a diversion. Don't worry.

Jax, look!

Dude!

This is so sick!

Oh man, that looks so good!

I'm sorry.

How can I help you?

Not bad.

Um, we were told that this is the place to ask for a guide for the plank walk.

Yeah, it would be, if it wasn't July.

Uh, sorry.

We were told to inquire about the Death Dragon Trail.

Uh, death spelled B-E-T-H.

Assuming that doesn't mean the same thing in English.

Oh yeah, it does. But that trail's closed.

Dangerous earthquakes made it very unsafe.

The Eastern Tourist Peak, that's open.

But again, you're in the rough season.

And it's full-experienced crime was only this time of year.

How about a drink?

How about Icarus on the rocks?

Mmm.

You sure?

Yeah, we're sure.

Shut that up on the camera.

Talk to him.

Okay, thanks.

We're here for the Icarus on the rocks?

Captain.

Take a seat.

I'm Luce. This is Jax.

Hey.

John.

Do you know what you're asking?

I'm looking for a guide, John.

No.

You're asking for someone to lead you on an illegal climb

on the most dangerous trail in Thailand.

Is that a problem?

Only for your bank account.

I mean...

We could maybe stretch to 3,000.

But nowhere near this.

Look past those trees.

You see the big son of a bitch looking down on us like Godzilla's pissed off big brother?

That's Mount Kwan.

Another trick you're asking about.

It's been closed to the public for over three decades.

If the cops catch you, you're gonna find out you're not in Kansas anymore real quick.

If you get lost, you're gonna find the emergency services either don't speak your language or...

Don't give two shits.

And this time of year, wet season, if it rains, those plants are gonna be as slippery as an ice rink.

Anyone ever tell you you have a way with words?

Hmm.

Okay.

This trail is as dangerous as it gets.

I can get you up to the dragon and back down the other side of Myanmar before sunset.

The number on the napkin is a bargain.

And non-negotiable.

Have a lovely evening, ladies.

Wait.

Wait.

We'll pay it.

Yes.

I can't afford that.

It's on me.

For Shiloh.

Hey.

Hey.

You don't look very Hunter.

Well, I'm not my sister.

Right.

Okay.

Let's get you ladies kitted out.

Wires for you, not for you.

O2 tanks.

These are not cheap, so do not lose them.

Why do we need these?

Mountain beds.

Altitude sickness.

Heights that can mess with people.

Headaches, hallucinations, nausea.

Worse.

You're not taking one?

Develop the tolerance.

I don't need one.

Testing, testing.

In case of emergencies.

We shouldn't get split up, but if we do, you can contact me.

Okay.

We're all set.

Look up anything that's not coming with us in your lockers.

We're good to go.

Your sister sounds like she was fun.

Just be proud of you guys.

So, what's your story?

Well, uh, came out here traveling.

About eight years ago now.

On your own?

My fiancée.

Where is she?

I'll hide them.

Come on.

Come on.

Just through here is where it really starts to get interesting.

Now stay close.

We're almost to the ladders.

Ladies first.

Get your ass over here!

So, this ladder will take us up 4,000 feet right to the ancient plank walk.

This wraps around the entire mountain cap.

Okay.

Girls wanted to climb a mountain.

Here it is.

I'm sorry guys.

I don't think this is for me.

It's not as scary as it looks.

Look.

I know you might not believe in yourself.

But Shiloh did.

And I believe in you.

And anyway.

We got an okay looking climber.

He's gonna cover our asses.

We got this.

Together.

Together.

I mean.

Remember.

Why you're here in the first place.

Okay girls.

I'm gonna set you both up with a twin hook system.

There.

Make sure it's tight.

And there.

Now put both of these safety lines on your harness there.

And here.

Pro.

Now.

When you come to the ladders.

We need to clip in these safety tanks.

Now an un-clip and leap clip.

From some of these.

Agaplots.

But then.

Flip out.

Make sure at least one clip.

Is attached at all times.

Will save your life.

Got it?

Aye aye captain.

See you up there.

You're not gonna follow your own rules?

Do as I say.

Do as I do.

I'll go first.

Okay.

Be careful.

It's not that bad.

Come on.

You okay?

One step at a time.

You okay?

Ladies.

Welcome to the plank walk.

Okay.

Okay, so, just like the laddering, we're going to be double-clipping. Now, this time, onto this safety chain.

You're going to make sure you're attached to one at all times.

Now, for good measure, we're going to be clipping you... together.

Okay, so... when you're ready... take a deep breath... and... with my pen...

Clip out.

One foot in front of the other... like so.

Clip in. Clip out.

There. You're up, ladies.

What the hell are we doing? It's okay. It'll be fun.

Yeah, just what he said, you know?

One foot in front of the other.

Why don't we just go scuba diving?

Sharks.

See? I'm on it.

About 1,000 feet.

What the hell?

Fun fact. Monks first built these planks to reach the heavens in the 13th century.

Some parts have been replaced. Some... eh, some haven't.

Only 300 more to go.

Okay. On we go.

We are now approaching Casa Pisa. A.K.A. The Devil's Elbow.

Enjoy the view.

Holy smokes.

This view is spectacular.

Jackson, you've got to check out this view.

Wow.

The folks at home, how amazing is this view?

I feel like I would be enjoying it more if I wasn't screaming inside.

Sour puss.

Hey, guys. I know I should enjoy the view, but, uh, how about we do it on the move, yeah?

Put it away. You are no fun.

Huh. That's not good.

What are we supposed to be clipped into over there?

Is this a normal part of the hike, dude?

Look, it's just a couple of chains missing.

Wait. Are you suggesting we go without safety ropes?

Yeah, it's just walking in a straight line.

Oh, my God.

This is insane.

Okay, I'm on this.

What are you doing?

Hold this, Jaxie.

Holy shit, Luce.

You got a death wish, pussy?

You're crazy.

Jax?

Jax.

Jax!

Hey, look at me, look at me.

Jax, look at me.

You're okay.

Jesus, you were out of it.

Is she okay?

Yeah, I think so.

It's just the altitude.

Here, okay?

You just need some of this.

Deep breath, in.

One more.

Okay?

Feel better?

Mm-hmm.

We're close now.

You'll be okay.

Now, if you feel even slightly sick again, just take another hit.

A little at a time, and you'll be fine.

Okay. Thanks.

I'm gonna throw you a rope!

Okay!

Okay, now clip it onto the chain.

I got you.

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah.

Just...

lost.

Whoa!

It's okay.

For a moment.

It's alright.

John!

It's coming down pretty hard.

What should we do?

Save it to keep moving.

We're almost there.

Where?

Where is he?

John!

What do we do?

We have to go back.

We can't.

Not on our own.

We can't stay here, Jax.

What if there's another earthquake?

Okay.

We're just...

gonna take it slow.

We're gonna look out for each other.

Clip in, clip out.

Let's go.

Shit, Luz!

We don't have the rope!

I'll take the lead.

I can't do it.

We don't have a choice.

You did it once.

You can do it again.

Okay.

Coming around.

Step over.

Step over.

Come on, Jax.

Low devil's elbow.

Okay.

Almost there.

I see it.

There's the ladder.

You're dead!

The planks are gone.

The plates are gone.

Oh, my God!

And I don't even have a safety harness!

Okay.

All right.

I got mine.

I'll secure you.

I got you.

I got you.

Okay.

Okay.

Phones.

Try the phones.

All right.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no service!

Equals no translator!

Okay.

I have one bar.

What's the number for 9-1-1 in Thailand?

1-9-1.

It's ringing.

Hello.

Hi.

We're on Mount 1.

We're trapped on the planks at the Devil's Elbow.

We need help.

You understand?

I'm sorry.

I don't speak Thai.

Sorry.

No Thai.

I'll try on my mom.

I'm hoping you have international coverage.

No service!

Shit!

Hold on.

All right.

The planks are destroyed like 50 feet on both sides.

What's left are random brackets and planks,

but nothing to climb our asses on out of here with.

Fill on your backpack.

I...

It's like 20-ish feet away.

May as well be on the moon.

You okay?

Mm-hmm.

Someone's gonna find us, Jax.

I promise.

No way.

Wait.

What?

Look!

Is that...

Dude, it's the bar.

As if...

It's our bar!

Oh, that's it!

Maybe we could get their attention or something!

Yeah. How?

The laser pointer.

I snatched it off of Sean.

Oh, yes!

Will it go that far?

I mean, he pointed out the mountain to us last night.

I don't see it.

Maybe it's too light.

Maybe it'll only work in the dark.

I'll have to wait till then.

We shouldn't even be up here.

Shai shouldn't even have been up that tower.

What do you mean?

She wasn't supposed to be up there.

We were supposed to be hanging out.

But Becky needed her.

And Shai came running.

She always chose Becky over me.

I'm sure that's not really the case.

Shiloh really loved you.

Is that a scar?

It's crazy, right?

Holy shit.

It's nothing.

Oh my god.

John!

He's alive!

Hey, read me.

Anyone?

He's alive!

Look, if you can hear me, please respond.

The rock slide knocked me unconscious.

We took out the Myanmar route.

I can't get down that way.

It's like a war zone.

Look, if you can hear me, please respond.

The radio is right there, man!

Guys, can you read me?

Shit.

How can we...

Maybe if we, like, take up some of the plank or something and use it as a stick?

A rope.

We could lasso it.

Could it reach?

Only one way to find out.

No, please, you're there, pick up.

Uh, ID, ID, ID, ID.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

I just give this enough to play with.

Yep.

Okay?

On this edge.

This should give us enough room.

This should work.

Great.

That one.

All right.

Okay.

Be careful.

Here, Tregan.

Let me get a little bit closer.

Just need to be a little closer.

Loose.

So close.

Here, hold on to me.

What?

Hold on to my belt.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait.

You got me?

Yeah.

I'm gonna try and step.

Really?

Whoa, Loose.

No, no, no, no.

Bad idea.

I'm gonna lean, okay?

I'm gonna lean, okay?

No.

I'm gonna lean.

Hold on to me.

Just a few inches.

All right?

Hold on to me.

I can do this.

Okay.

Please be quick, Loose.

I don't think I can hold you much longer.

All right, I got it.

Okay.

Okay, pull it in.

Don't take a little bit of finessing.

Come on, Loose, please.

Please be quick.

Oh, please be quick.

Oh, ah.

Come on, you son of a bitch.

Holy shit.

All right, I got it.

It's all done.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Bring it in, bring it in.

Please, Rory.

No.

No.

Ow.

It's not.

God, Jean.

Come on.

Come on, please.

Come on, you son of a bitch.

It's okay.

We can try something else.

With what?

We don't have any more rope left.

I'm sorry.

I...

Back to planning.

Okay.

Come on, please, please, please.

Somebody see.

Keep it there.

Yes, good.

Oh, my God.

Someone's coming.

Okay, turn on the light.

Turn the light.

Oh, okay.

Come on, come on, come on.

Holy shit.

It's our guy.

The bartender.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, okay.

Is he looking?

I can't tell.

Come on, come on, come on.

Please.

I can't be following you, Kyle.

Wait, what?

He shot the blind.

No, no, no, no, no.

No.

Damn it.

It's like John said.

They don't give two shit.

It's...

There's gotta be something else.

There's gotta think about it.

There's gotta be something else.

There's just...

got to be.

Mom, come on.

Mom, come on.

I can't be following you, Kyle.

Mom, mom, mom.

Oh dude, why didn't you wake me?

I thought two hours each.

Hey.

What's up?

I don't know what to say. You okay? Need some O2? What? Who are you? And this? This is Luz. Who the hell are you? I'm sorry, Jax. I didn't mean for it to go this far. You lied to me. Please, just...

Hear me out, okay? I can explain everything. Okay. Jax, I'm sorry. I saw you were selling her Bronco, and I just thought that it was a way that I could be close to her. Somehow, I was just gonna buy it, and then drive it to the wheels. Fell off. But I messaged you, and you said you weren't gonna sell it to a fan, so I saw on Hunter's social media that she had a college friend. Luz. So, I chanced it.

You got the truck. Why didn't you just leave? Because I saw that you were in pain. I just wanted to help.

You must think I'm some sort of psycho or something, but I wasn't lying when I said that your sister helped me out of a really dark place.

She saved my life. Her videos, they inspired me to go out and live and do something. I didn't think we would end up here.

Jax, I'm sorry. Don't touch me.

Jax, please stop there. Just look at me.

I'm sorry. I didn't...

Please.

Guys, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Please respond.

Jax, move.

Alright. Enough's enough.

I think I could maybe step my way across the brackets and then pull up the radio.

Maybe.

No.

That's crazy.

Look, the longer that we wait, the weaker we get.

That radio is our only chance.

I won't be strong enough to get it later.

There has to be another way.

Well, there isn't.

Right.

Keep this safe.

It's just like stepping stones.

I can do it.

Wait, you don't have to.

I do.

It's my fault that we're up here.

Here.

Hold this.

You got this.

Keep going.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

God damn it!

It hurt!

I know, I know, I know.

This might hurt.

I know, I know.

Breathe.

Slowly.

Slowly.

In.

And out.

I'm sorry for lying. I don't want to die. You're not going to die. I am. No, you're not. You're not listening, Jax.

I have cancer. That's what the score actually is. Can you get my phone for me? I've been ignoring her calls. My poor mom.

I can't face telling her that I've stopped treatment. And I know she's so worried. And I wrote a text. But I didn't have it in me to send it. And now she'll never know.

Okay. Listen to me. We're going to make it down. And you are going to tell her that in person. Okay? We are going to make it out of here alive.

Mm-hmm.

Get me down now! You're an asshole! I thought I was going to die!

Jax! Jax, come on, dude! Wait up! I was just trying to help you!

How does scaring the hell out of me help me? I wanted to show you that fear is something that you can control.

Stop trying to change me! Okay? I'm not one of your followers. I don't need saving!

I love you. Okay? I want you to stop letting everybody walk all over you.

What? Like you? No.

No, I'm sorry! Okay? I just want you to learn how to stand up for yourself!

Okay? How's this, Shai? Drop dead!

Hey. Hey. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Please, wake up. Wake up, please.

No, please. Wake up. Please, wake up. Please, wake up. Please.

Wake up!

How are you feeling? Like... I've been hit by a thousand trucks. You look like your sister with that hair. I'm gonna get the radio and get us out of here. What? How? I can do it. I can do it.

Okay, well, you're gonna need all the rope you can get. Take it. Hey. What's your real name? It's Billy. Nice to meet you, Billy. Be careful, Jax. Please? Yeah. Easy, easy.

Oh my God, I could kiss you right now. Easy, easy. John, can you hear me? John? John?

Jack? Is that you? Oh my God. Holy shit, you okay? Yeah, I'm okay. Luce is pretty hurt. We're stuck on the mountain.

Where are you? For the Devil's Elbow. What? I tried to look for you that way, but the whole place looked totally destroyed.

Yeah, it pretty much is. Where are you? I'm at the peak. The Myanmar route down. It's completely wrecked by the earthquake. It's gone.

Please tell me one of you has a working cell. Mine's dead. Yeah, I do. I got one bar.

Okay. Okay, I'm gonna find a way to come to you. I made the call myself. But just sit tight. It's gonna be okay.

Okay, please hurry. Oh my God. We're going home.

So you guys just gonna sit around all day or we're gonna get off this mountain?

John? Oh my God. Finally.

Holy shit. It's good to see you guys.

Give me your arm, okay?

Give me your arm, okay?

Ah, you made it.

Come, Jack. Come.

Okay. I'll kick out.

Come, come back, come.

They're just gonna use a helicopter.

There you go.

They're gonna meet us at the peak, so just have to make our way there and wait.

Okay.

Let's go.

Remember to clip in and clip out.

Yes.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

You know what they say, when you reach the dragon...

It eats your fears?

I'll be shy.

Final crossing.

We can't take too much weight, so...

We have to go one at a time.

I'll go first.

Jesus, John!

Keep it together, okay, Luz?

Might be damaged, but it's just 40 feet and then freedom.

I'm gonna...

This is crazy.

Yeah, go slow.

You're good.

Yes!

Okay, we're almost there.

Can we just rest a second?

Yeah.

Sure.

Well...

Oh...

I am gonna have some O2.

What's in this thing?

Why, I think that one's empty.

What is this?

What is this, John?

Pentanol.

You must be joking.

Why?

Why?

Why use us as drug mules?

It wasn't personal.

Tourists find me on a memorable trip.

So I give them one.

And then they give me cover.

So I don't look suspicious on my own.

They never find out.

They never find out.

And they go home.

Safe.

And happy.

No one gets hurt.

They don't give you cover.

You take it.

Also, if we got caught, we'd spend the rest of our lives in a Thai prison.

Oh, come on.

You knew the risks.

You are on an illegal hike.

We were ready to break the law for that.

That's not the same thing.

We chose to do that.

Exactly.

You can't even take responsibility.

You're a pathetic coward.

Coward?

I saved your lives.

In fact, I risked mine to save yours.

So you should be thanking me.

He's crazy.

Okay, you didn't risk your life to save us.

You risked it for this shit.

Do you know what?

I'm gonna be thanking me for this.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

No!

You're finished.

She didn't have to do that.

What did you do?

You were never meant to see what was in those tags.

I mean, I can't go to jail here.

Jax, I can't.

I mean, you don't know what they do to people in prison here.

You're a psychopath.

No, no.

No, she fell.

I mean, accidents happen all the time on this mountain, so...

No! No!

Jax, don't!

You stay right there or I will drop it.

I swear to God.

Stay right there until the emergency services arrive.

They're not coming, are they?

There is a helicopter coming.

But it's not the emergency services.

Shh.

And the cost of that ride is what is in that tag.

So do not be stupid.

Look.

The first couple of times you fail with delivery...

You lose a finger.

The third time it's your head.

I'm just trying to survive like everyone else.

So put down the canister.

Hello.

You're a fucking coward.

I'm not afraid of you.

Dad!

Dad!

You made me do this.

This didn't have to be so hard.

Clip in.

Clip out.

Two whiskies.

Straight.

Thanks, Billy.
