Original subtitles

[ suspenseful music playing ]

[ screaming ]

these are giant buttress trees here.

great shelter.

it reminds me of kakadu in northern australia, right?

the cover's so thick above

that the light comes in in little beams like that.

[ shrieks ]

- let me see that. - gina!

whoo!

gina!

gina, give it back.

come on. i don't get a chance

to record the memories?

hey, john, you ready for your close-up?

[ animal screeches ]

watch it with the camera!

what the hell was that?

whoa!

let me get this.

absolutely stunning.

am i right?

you see beauty.

i see spiders.

- oh, where? - exactly. where?

that's what bothers me.

can you guys even imagine

- what made this? - yeah, let's not.

i've never seen anything like this.

apparently, this whole area's loaded with arachnids,

but wow!

okay, you are the guide, right?

i mean,

- aren't you supposed to, like, know this stuff? - gina.

hey, if it weren't for a few surprises,

and if i knew everything, then what would be the point, yeah?

okay, what do you say we get back to walking out

- from underneath all of this? - oh, that's a good idea.

yeah, it is a good idea.

it's getting late. we'd better move

so there's still enough light to make camp.

okay, let's shoot the crow.

oh wow, look at those big butterflies.

look.

oh, that's awful.

i don't wanna see that.

can we do something?

i think it's a little past that.

[ insects buzzing ]

[ screaming ]

- okay, gina? - no.

look at this.

[ laughs ]

brian, what exactly is this?

it's a kind of offering, geraldine--

a signpost.

villagers from karni mata

leave these spider skins

- for good luck. - cool.

creepy.

- are we going there? - trekkers don't go there.

too far out of the way.

oh, that's good.

- have you ever been? - no.

but i heard about it. apparently there's an american doctor

who lives among the villagers. been there for years.

oh, really? it's kind of like that--

that woman doctor...

you know, she lived amongst the apes.

yeah, kind of.

[ chatting, laughing ]

since this is our last night,

i just wanted to say it's been a real pleasure

sharing this experience with you all-- apart from gina.

- oh, come on. - [ laughing ]

[ mocking laugh ] very funny, phil.

- well, you do tend to complain a lot. - i was only joking.

what did you say?

i mean, you complain. that's, like, your thing. it's, like, expected.

right? guys?

why would you say that?

i didn't mean it to be so serious.

maybe one of us should say something.

no, man. with these two?

with them going way back, it's probably best not to get involved.

oh, right, types that talk about subtext

rather than what's actually being said, yeah.

i have no idea what that means, but okay, brian, yeah.

what are you guys talking about?

- we're talking about you two. - oh, brian.

well, we were.

- nothing bad, but you two were arguing. - brian, just stop.

okay, it's time we all went to bed. what do you think?

wait a minute. we're just getting to the good stuff here.

as a woman, i can tell you, no good will come of that.

yeah, for them maybe.

you coming?

no, i think i'm gonna hang out here for a while longer.

why?

maybe i'm not tired yet.

oh, right.

[ geraldine screams ]

oh, god, a spider. spider!

oh my god.

oh, god, it bit me. oh, my god, that burns.

- where's it hurt, geraldine? - shoulder. it bit me on my shoulder.

[ all gasping ]

- is it bad? it feels really bad. - no no.

no no, it's not bad.

okay, hook me up with a cold pack.

some painkiller now.

geraldine, how'd you know this was a spider?

i saw it crawl away. it went over there.

what did it look like?

it was a spider--

oh my god, it burns.

was it brown? was it black, what?

oh, god. [ panting ]

okay.

it's important that you remember what it looked like.

i don't know. it's dark.

i don't know. i couldn't see it.

- hold this for me, will you? - here.

oh, god.

- what do we do? - oh, it looks bad, man.

i mean, it's real bad to get that strong a reaction straightaway.

- okay, so what do we do? - if she doesn't get help soon--

it's a full day's hike into town. by that time, she could be--

what about the village?

the doctor?

yeah, right, that's what's gonna have to happen.

you said that was way out of the way.

- it's still nearer than town. - you sure they're gonna have something for this?

brian: well, if what i've heard about that doctor is true.

what are we waiting for?

we should leave right now.

- you sure this is the way? - so says the map.

but having never been, i can't say i'm certain.

i could have really used a "yes" there, man. lie to me!

- how's geraldine? - not good.

did you give her more painkiller?

yeah, like half the bottle.

[ labored breathing ]

we-- we need help.

sick.

spider.

should we follow him?

yeah, i think that's the plan.

come on.

[ raspy breathing ]

[ speaking native language ]

what do we do now?

bring her in.

quick, like silver.

[ gagging ]

- is she gonna be all right? - patience, like job.

patience, like job.

that one. that one, yes.

[ blowing ]

what is that? what are you doing?

shh, shh, shh.

[ squeals ]

no, honestly, i don't want it. i don't want it.

no no no, i don't need anything.

i know it's probably really nice...

no, thank you. no, thank you.

no, thank you. no, thank you.

i don't... i don't want it.

[ gasps ]

[ grunting ]

what's happening?

why don't you go outside and wait...

and let me do this?

come on, brian.

- all right. - he's a doctor.

doctor: yes, let it go.

take it easy.

let it go.

yes yes yes.

how's geraldine?

[ villagers chanting ]

okay,

when the guy with the sack on his head comes,

that's kind of my cue to leave.

yes, sir, for once the girl speaks some sense.

anyone? anyone know what she's saying?

it's a spell of protection.

to them, spiders are gods.

she's-- she's making

an attempt to get the gods

which take care of them,

and now you.

yeah, well, you can tell them

i've had enough of spiders, thanks.

you're all looking a little worse for the wear.

geraldine, how is she?

not good. unfortunately, your friend was bitten

by a bolivian baja spider.

atrax robustus.

even the smallest drop of venom, a pinhead,

is lethal to small animals.

fortunately, though, the same spider

produces his own anti-venom.

humans can't even hold

two opposing thoughts together

without going off the deep end.

- but spiders-- - gina: forget about the spiders.

what about the humans?

how much is lethal?

only less than a drop, a little less.

and geraldine?

she's between this world and the next.

i've done everything i can with what i've got.

and now...

we're in the proverbial waiting game.

[ speaks native language ]

- what? - what?

so what now?

she needs real help.

the rest of you should follow the trail back,

head to town. i'll stay here with geraldine.

- you're not staying here by yourself. - it'll be fine.

- it'll be fine. - you're all welcome to stay.

i assure you

that no one out there could do any more than i've already done.

rest, eat.

i'll take care of your friend.

okay, there is absolutely no way that i'm staying here.

is everyone just forgetting about the guy

with the sack on his head?

okay, i'll lead the group back

and we'll try to find some help--

a medical airlift, ambulance,

whatever they use out here.

brian, are you sure you want to stay?

yeah, i should.

i'll stay too.

someone should stay.

okay, stacey, there is absolutely no way

- that you can stay here on your-- - we can't just run off.

- you cannot stay here-- - i'm staying.

and what do you care anyway?

it'll give you more time to spend with him.

- stacey, don't get all-- - just go.

- you sure you wanna stay here? - definitely.

it'll be an adventure.

anyone else feel like we're being watched?

how creepy.

come on, let's just keep going.

are you sure you know what you're looking at?

it's a map, phil.

i think i can handle it.

you know, as unthrilled as i am

to be out here, i am still much more relieved

to be away from that place.

that doctor gave me the creeps.

i thought he was kind of cool.

he was like the colonel at the end of that movie.

phil...

"living with the natives." except he's not crazy.

yeah, well,

you'd have to be crazy to want to live out here.

ahh, here we are. eat.

eat, mange.

[ insects buzzing ]

you know, i had an energy bar earlier.

- i'm still good on that. - i'm not hungry. i'll just...

doctor, you said that

geraldine, it was a bolivian spider?

a baja spider. very venomous, but stunning.

all spiders are venomous. it's all about necrosis.

but you say bolivian,

and i think of something like south america

- or something not... - well, wait a minute. wait a minute.

- you're saying not here, right? - stacey: yeah.

well, that's an astute observation.

and i'll try to overlook your thinly-veiled attempt

- to doubt my expertise. - i don't think that's what she's saying.

- i didn't mean it like that. - you don't know where you are.

this spot on the planet is unlike any other spot on earth.

your assumption is right.

yes, all spiders are regional,

every class of them. we have baja spiders

and black widows spinning webs together

along with brown recluse that's only found in north america.

and then there's the button spider

from africa.

fascinating, isn't it? yeah.

yeah.

[ spits ]

oh my god!

that's a madagascar.

- it's poisonous? - deadly.

- [ stacey screams ] - [ villagers laughing ]

that's my brother.

his cowl is made out of spider's silk.

he's here to remind me

that i need to check in on your friend.

the karni mata temple, is that near?

oh, it's just a rumor in the guidebook, yeah?

no, it's here. it's as old as the mountains.

maybe we should stay here, yeah?

they're gonna be gone for hours.

- we might as well take a look. - it's not far.

- i can send a man to show you the way. - great.

i wager it'll be an experience you'll never forget.

wow, look at that.

the rocks, they're shaped like a spider.

- head, legs, everything. - fangs, yeah?

can we go in...

- hey, where you going? - inside.

let's go inside.

maybe we should head back now.

oh!

oh!

wow!

oh my god.

hey.

- bombay mix. - ew!

[ stacey screams ]

stacey.

stacey.

[ echoing ] stacey!

- yeah? - don't do that.

just stay where i can see you.

okay, dad.

stacey?

oh, man.

don't move. don't move.

what? [ gasps ]

get it off.

brian, come on. hurry up, brian.

get it off. oh!

- one more. - one more?

- where? - shh shh shh.

[ screams ]

where did it go?

- we can go now? - yeah, let's go.

[ car horn honks ]

- isn't that... - traffic, yes!

yes, let's go!

- don't remember this. - we didn't go this far in.

this isn't right.

okay, so we turn the corner and...

let's just go back.

okay, so this is where you got the spider off of me, yeah?

i think so.

yeah, i'm sure it is.

then where is it? it has to be here somewhere.

there it is. there it is.

brian!

brian?

bri?

brian?

[ echoing ] okay, not funny!

i'll be outside, okay?

okay, brian?

oh, god.

oh! oh god!

[ gears grinding ]

[ laughing ]

still, i gotta say, man,

it's better than the public transport back in philly.

- smells better too. - no, that's just me.

- you? - yeah.

- oh my god. that is not you. - you are so cheeky.

i smell better than that.

this reminds me of the bus service in swaziland.

you know swaziland? africa, africa.

it's a small island off madagascar.

oh, sorry.

it's okay.

should i be offended that you didn't linger when you slammed into me?

oh, i did.

it just went quickly.

kakadu, northern australia--

[ gears grind ]

ethiopia?

okay, hello.

hello.

oh, god, where am i?

i'm sure it was this way. okay.

oh...

brian?

brian?

brian.

[ screaming ]

oh my god!

[ screaming ]

[ screaming ]

[ horn honking ]

end. no further. i go nowhere.

hey!

- phil, why don't you go find the hotel? - where are you going?

geraldine-- i'm gonna find some help.

- okay, i'm going with. - phil, you cool with that?

yeah, shouldn't be too hard to find.

i'll just look for a building with an actual door.

- whoa. whole new kind of traffic. - oh my god.

[ speaking foreign language ]

found it. this way.

john: there's probably more people on this wall

than there are in the actual town.

i know. can you imagine?

do me a favor, if i ever go missing,

please use a photo where at least i look good.

- what? - nothing.

- oh, come on, i was joking. - [ speaking foreign language ]

we need help.

hello?

we need... you...

your help.

do you not speak english?

oh, yeah, but i...

oh, so do you.

pretty well i'm told.

sorry.

i'm sergeant duranjaya chadhri.

oh, hi.

hi.

sorry about this office. it is a bit of mess, huh?

- more missing photos? - gina.

hard not to notice, isn't it?

- yeah, kind of. - see here?

my predecessor. missing for two months.

- so you've only been here for... - two weeks.

two very long weeks.

but they keep putting me in postings where nobody else wants to go.

[ bell dings ]

- and as for you two? - oh, we were on a trek,

a whole bunch of us,

and one of our group got bit by a spider.

huh, a spider?

yeah, real bad.

and we had to take her to this village,

but she needs some serious medical attention.

yeah, so is there a helicopter we can take?

- load up with supplies and then we can-- - a helicopter?

[ laughs ]

sorry.

i do not mean to be disrespectful.

do you remember the name of the village?

uh... kar...

- kar... - korli...

- karni mata? - yeah.

you know it? he knows it.

it's a village much talked about by the locals,

shrouded in local color and legend.

but i have been so busy trying to get acquainted with this town,

i have yet to go into the jungle and look around.

she was treated by the doctor,

but he said they were gonna need more supplies

if she was,

you know, gonna live.

- so your friends are there, too? - yeah.

okay, i'll see what i can do.

[ heart beating ]

[ screaming ]

[ screams ]

[ chanting ]

civilization has beaten a path to my door.

i'm lecorpus.

dr. lecorpus.

you must be the illustrious new town sergeant.

sergeant chadhri, yes.

well, i'm really happy to meet you face to face,

although it brought me great pain to hear about your predecessor.

- i hope he turns up. - so do i.

yeah, i heard through the grapevine

that you are running a tight ship in your town.

i don't run the town. i just protect it.

really?

they really get whipped into a frenzy with newcomers.

what is that?

it's my brother.

- brother? - yeah.

he suffers from a severe bone deformity

and i'm treating him.

the natives here think of him as a god because of it.

he hates civilization.

it's well-founded.

you came because of the girl?

- that's right. how is she? - gone.

- dead? - no, she's well enough.

they got an early start. you know how the jungle can be after dark.

- i see. - is there anything else?

well, you can give me my gun back.

oh, of course.

oh, yeah.

by the way, what's the word on the helicopter?

- helicopter? - yes, don't you know about the helicopter?

no, i don't know about a helicopter.

- do you mind if i take a look around? - no, i don't.

maybe visit the temple.

heard so much about it, never seen it, but most curious.

it is spectacular.

it will make your trip worthwhile.

it's gonna be a while yet, gina.

you might as well sit down,

go to your room, hang out and stuff.

and stuff?

yeah, nice try.

you're making me tired just watching you.

i just feel guilty, you know?

i knew it.

i should have stayed with stacey, okay?

there.

i mean, that was the whole point

of this stupid vacation.

i take it this wasn't your first choice.

gee, you think?

[ speaks foreign language ]

hello?

hello?

[ hisses ]

[ screams ]

- [ spider hisses ] - [ screaming ]

[ stomping ]

[ clicks ]

[ spider hisses ]

[ gasps ]

hey.

[ yawns ]

is stacey back yet?

not yet.

phil's heading to the next town right now.

it's supposed to be a little bit more...

updated than this one.

[ insects buzzing ]

you think maybe chadhri's taken geraldine to the hospital?

- yeah, maybe. - huh?

i'm gonna head back to the village,

see what there is to see.

maybe the doctor saw or heard something.

yeah, or maybe the doctor and his sack-head brother

- are in on it. - in on what?

whatever it is that stacey and the rest are caught up in.

the doctor wasn't a threat!

a little bit eccentric, yes.

yeah, well, i'm going back with you.

no.

look, you're staying here.

there needs to be someone here when they do turn up.

yeah, and somebody else can do that.

gina, i've told you already, i'm gonna head to the village,

- phil's out looking for the next town-- - john!

i can either go with you or without you.

either way i'm going.

that's it over there.

[ pounds on truck ]

[ helicopter whirring ]

you hear that?

yeah, look, a helicopter.

that's probably them now!

see? they must have waited for the helicopter,

because they couldn't risk moving geraldine through the jungle.

case closed, nancy drew.

yeah. that makes sense.

except when we asked that chadhri guy for a helicopter,

what did he do?

- laughed. - in our faces.

[ tribal music playing ]

you hear that?

- yeah. - come on.

[ villagers howling ]

[ howling continues ]

[ breathing rapidly ]

[ grunting ]

[ screaming ]

[ groaning ]

[ horns blaring ]

[ whimpering ]

[ screaming ] oh god!

help me! help me!

[ all howling ]

[ stacey continues screaming ]

- stacey! - gina.

gina! no, gina.

don't say a word.

[ screaming ]

stacey: help me!

[ crowd chanting ]

help me!

don't look, don't look.

[ screaming ]

[ gagging ]

for you, brother!

for you!

[ villagers continue chanting ]

stacey: my god!

[ gagging ]

[ frenzied howling ]

[ drums pounding rapidly ]

don't look, gina! don't look.

[ grunts ] run!

not that way!

gina!

[ grunts ]

stacey!

stacey, come on. stacey!

stacey! stacey, come on.

[ screaming ] come on! come on!

stacey, come on.

she's not dead.

she's paralyzed.

the venom.

no pain.

no nothing.

[ screams ]

oh god!

[ whimpers ]

- stacey! - gina!

you'll have to wait for me, brother.

oh, where the hell has she gone now?!

gina!

[ whimpering ]

okay. get a grip.

it's okay.

okay, stacey!

okay. gina, get a grip.

it's okay.

[ yelling in native language ]

[ gasps ]

[ screaming ]

[ shouting in native language ]

[ spider sizzles ]

[ panting ]

gina!

[ whispering ] it's okay. it's okay.

it's okay.

it's okay. it's okay.

[ trembling ] it's okay.

it's okay. it's okay.

[ screaming ]

[ screaming ]

gina!

[ screaming ]

[ grunting ]

what are you doing?

leave it!

- gina! - [ screaming ]

[ grunting ]

gina!

[ screams ]

- you okay? - yeah.

you know, if i had my way,

stacey and i would be on an island somewhere

drinking margaritas.

[ laughs ]

- are you okay? - yeah.

yeah, i tell you what,

when we get out of here

i'll buy you that margarita.

tell you what, we get out of here

i'm gonna hold you to that.

[ chattering ]

i cannot help you, sir.

there is a lot of people in here.

of course you'll stay here a long time.

- excuse me. excuse me. - hey! hey!

- excuse me-- - [ all shouting ]

you don't understand!

[ speaking foreign language ]

you should really pay your subscription.

ronald reagan's still an actor in this article.

holy...

[ all shouting ]

i've got a really big problem.

you don't understand. shh!

see this guy?

oh...

what is it?

[ beeping ]

it works.

let me see it.

gina, you-- you shouldn't watch this.

john, let me see it.

john, let me see it!

stacey: brian?

brian?

brian?

[ screaming ]

oh my god! oh my god!

[ screaming ]

[ gina crying ]

oh my god.

oh my god, stacey.

[ screaming ]

brian!

gina, get this stuff off him.

- john, he blinked. - he what?

he blinked. brian?

[ groaning ] help... me...

we're gonna get you out of this.

gina: hold on, brian. it's okay.

- [ brian whimpering ] - okay, brian.

hold on. hold on.

you're okay. hold on.

[ gasping ] help me.

you're gonna be okay, brian.

[ gasping ]

brian?

brian! come on!

[ echoing ] brian!

[ sobbing ]

hello?

- oh, chadhri! oh, thank god. - oh man!

john: sergeant chadhri.

your friend?

yeah. our guide brian.

how the hell do we get out of here?

i am still trying to work that one out.

we follow them.

perhaps they lead us to a way out.

perhaps they lead us to your friend.

but what about brian?

we can't just leave him here.

we must go.

come.

[ heart beating ]

[ spiders chittering ]

gina: holy cow.

john: this...

this is...

the spider's nest.

gina: hey, what's that stuff up there?

john: i do not have a clue.

- so what now? - we keep going?

where?

- yeah, right! - can you do it?

i think so.

yeah. fine. okay.

let's go.

[ rocks clattering ]

[ screams ]

[ air hissing ]

[ machines pulsing ]

i think i just got all the evidence i need.

you think?

- chadhri: a harvesting station. - a what?

chadhri: for human organs.

yes. yes, to sell on the black market.

see these tubes?

they are probably used to extract the venom.

venom?

[ chuckles ] quite smart actually.

using that to induce paralysis

slows down the atrophy of the organs.

i'm sorry, what are you talking about?

to keep them fresh for the transport.

oh my god!

my predecessor.

invincible youth really makes me feel sick, dirty,

- itchy, itchy. - [ whimpering ]

oh god! oh no! no.

no, pl-- [ screaming ]

john: gina!

gina: stacey!

the police force has arrived. the police force--

[ men shouting ]

this would be a good point for you to give up.

let's go. come on.

come on.

did you think you'll ever get out of this jungle alive?

the talwar will cut you down

and i'll barter with your organs.

[ screaming ]

- it's time for a good lay down. - [ shrieking ]

psycho! maniac!

- stacey, no! - [ screaming hysterically ]

come on!

let's get out of here.

run! come on!

[ screams ]

they're coming! what are we gonna do?

no!

ah!

[ screaming ]

no!

excuse me, but i've got an idea.

we need to hurry. let me go first.

if everything is okay, then you three follow, okay?

yeah. okay.

[ spiders chittering ]

it seems to be fine.

let's go. stacey?

okay. i'll be okay.

- don't look down. - okay.

are you sure this is gonna hold?

y-yes, of course. [ whimpers ]

- [ stacey screams ] - steady.

s-steady, steady.

- chadhri, what is it? - nothing.

j-just hurry.

j-john, you wait there, okay? until we're all across.

huh?

oh, god.

hurry!

it's all going to be fine.

- you're a terrible liar. - my wife says the same thing.

[ whimpering ]

- [ ripping ] - [ screaming ]

gina!

[ screaming ] no! no!

- come on, gina, please. - you can make it, gina.

- climb! climb! - come on, gina!

[ grunting ]

[ screaming ]

no! no! no!

do you know where you are?

look around you.

youth is so wasted on the young.

[ screaming ] no! no!

stacey: leave her alone!

when i'm finished with you,

you're going to come back as a dung beetle.

leave her alone, psycho!

maniac!

[ screaming ]

[ screaming ]

no!

[ screeching ]

[ gasping ]

- gina, come on! come on, gina! - hold on! hold on!

stacey: you can do it!

- stacey: oh, gina! please, gina! - chadhri: come on, gina!

[ spiders chittering ]

hold on! hold on, gina! hold on!

chadhri: climb! climb!

- stacey: come on, gina. - chadhri: she's okay. come on, gina.

- come on. - come on. come on. come on, gina.

- good, gina. - you're getting there.

chadhri: come on, come on, give me your hand.

- chadhri: i got you. - stacey: yes. whoo!

[ cheering, laughing ]

john.

john.

i willreturn for you.

okay, come on. okay.

come on. let's go.

john, i will return for you.

[ spiders chittering ]

[ crickets chirping ]

let's go.

[ animal howling ]
