(upbeat pop music)

- All right.

If you could choose
anywhere in the world,

where would you go and why?

- That would be Greece.

But, just long enough to
fall in love and

then we would move back here.

- Dinner with one person,
dead or alive.

Who would it be?

- That's easy.

My dad.

- In your wildest dreams,

what does your life look
like in 20 years?

- In my wildest dreams,
I would live with my

handsome husband, Dimitri.

- Ooh la la!

- We'd have two,
possibly three kids,

and we'd live on a farm upstate.

- Farm?

You want to be a farmer?

- I want to just have a
lot of space for all the

little kids and the dogs
and chickens to run around.

- Okay, Abby.

(giggling)

- Honey, tell me!

- Stop!

- Just tell me!

- Stop and I'll tell you!

I didn't send you my itinerary
because I'm not coming.

- What?

- I'm sorry, it's just
really bad timing.

This has nothing to do with
him, so don't even think that.

It's just, it's my
decision and--

- You've got to be
fucking kidding me.

(train rattling)

- [Brad] This is Brad.

Ha ha!

I got you, sucker!

Now, I'm probably doing
something amazing

in an exotic location
and working on my tan.

Yes, it is okay to be jealous.

Either way, leave a
message with my secretary

and I'll see what I
can do for you.

(voicemail beeping)

- 19 years!

You're willing to throw
19 years of friendship

out the window for him?

- That's not fair.

- People change, Abby, I get it.

But, the person you've
become is disgusting.

- Would you take a look
in a mirror, please?

- [Brad] Yeah? Yeah?

You like that, huh?

Tell me how big I am!

- You're huge!

You're massive!

(moaning ecstatically)

- [Brad] Yeah?

How much do you love my cock?

- So much, baby!

I want you to fuck me forever!

(grunting)

- Abby?

Thanks for the cupcake, baby.

That's so sweet.

Abby, you knew that I
needed this and--

- Are you kidding me?

- Yes?

(screaming)

- Wow.

- What the fuck?

- What's your problem?

(screaming)

- Oh, my god!

I'm so sorry!

- My eyes! My eyes!

- No, I'm not.

I'm not sorry.

(screaming)

(static buzzing)

(sobbing)

- I don't know why I get
so anxious about flying.

This is a breeze.

I always forget how good the
scared-to-fly medicine is.

(giggling)

I think it might work
better after

you've had a drink or two.

Note to Self: Always have
a drink or two.

(giggling)

- [Man] You do that the
whole flight?

- No.

(giggling)

The medicine wore off and
we're still up in the air.

I had two more pills.

They must have fallen out.

I just find it really
hard to breathe.

I just don't know how
there's enough oxygen

in here for all of us.

I feel like it's a metal coffin.

(pounding)

(flushing)

I need another minute please?

(gasping)

(upbeat pop music)

I think I'm standing in
front of the royal family

over there in the back
and then, over here,

look, look, look!

Whoa!

It's the castle!

What?

I think that's where they live.

I'm not sure, though.

(upbeat pop music)

This is amazing!

(upbeat pop music)

This is the scariest thing
I think I've ever done!

(laughing)

So, Penny told me that
this place is crazy,

but this is wilder than I
ever would have imagined.

I couldn't understand what
the bartender was saying.

I think I ordered a large.

(giggling)

- [Man] Excuse me, darling.

You mind if me and my
mates join you?

- Oh, yeah, sure.

- [Ben] What do we have here?

Hey, wait, stop.

Take this, take this, take it.

- Oh, my god!

Oh, my god!

Wait!

Did you see that?

- [Jewel] Look behind you.

- Runaway backpack?

- How did you--

Thank you so much!

- I always keep the camera
rolling just in case.

You cool with that?

- What's it for?

- [Ben] It's a documentary
about backpackers and

all the crazy shit they
run into in paradise.

- What do I have to do?

- Nothing, just be yourself.

- That's it?

- Nothing more.

(speaking foreign language)

- [Jewel] He's asking
you if you want a beer.

- Oh, yeah.

Just regular size only, please.

- Right.

- [Jewel] I know he can be
a bit intimidating at first,

but he's harmless,
most of the time.

- He really records everything?

- Yeah.

- Oh, my god.

You should see this
guy at the bar.

He's got this scar on
the back of his neck,

something about a barracuda
attack up at Gili T.

- [Jewel] I should probably
get us those beers.

(suspenseful music)

- [Abby] Okay, interesting.

No time to tell me where she is,

but Penny sends me a
picture of her feet.

- [Ben] Boo!

- Geez, you scared me.

- [Ben] You up for some
island hopping?

- What's this?

- Phi Phi Le.

One of the most beautiful
islands in the country.

You should come with us.

- I haven't talked to Penny yet.

- [Ben] This is what the
lifestyle's all about,

just picking up and going
at a moment's notice.

You said you hadn't decided
where to meet her yet, right?

This would be the perfect place.

- I don't know.

- Have you seen the movie,
The Beach?

- Yeah.

- Come with us and you'll be
standing on it in two days.

- [Ben] Bus leaves tomorrow.

- Do we have to swim there?

- Only if you miss the boat.

- Okay, yeah sure.

- And so it begins.

- [Ben] I think a
celebration is in order.

(upbeat pop music)

- I miss Brad.

I know it's dumb.

I know I'm being an idiot,

but he could really be
sweet sometimes.

This is pathetic.

I am going to go check my email.

(suspenseful music)

(camera clicking and whirring)

- [Penny] Please, stop.

(sobbing)

I'll do whatever you want.

Please.

(suspenseful music)

- So, we've been traveling
all day and all night and

now we're on a boat
to Phi Phi Le.

Ben gave me one of these
little pills for the trip.

I'm pretty sure it's Valium.

They both took one.

Look.

(lush orchestral music)

- Are you filming them?

- Kind of them, kind of us.

I want a bunch of
footage so I can make

a video diary when I get back.

Do you think they're still
arguing about the price?

- I did.

I'm not so sure anymore.

- Well, didn't the guy say
it was just 15 bucks a night?

- Ben's passion has a tendency
to bleed into everything.

- So, how long have you guys
been traveling together?

- On and off, for
about six months.

- How did you guys meet?

- Chang Mai.

Opium dens have a way of
bringing people together.

- The Frisbee king of Thailand!

Did you miss me, little lady?

(shrieking and giggling)

- He's that Australian guy
I was telling you about.

Him and his buddies were
talking about a place

where you can blow up
a cow with a bazooka.

- [Ben] He looks like one
of those guys.

- That's a real thing?

- [Ben] The more you pay,
the bigger the animal.

I wonder where he got the
money for a cow?

- I thought he was kidding.

- It's Southeast Asia.

For the right amount of money,

you can get away with just
about anything.

Who are you?

- What?

- [Ben] I'll be right back.

- Where are you going?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Hi.

- Looks like the boys have
found themselves a new friend.

- I think she helped me
buy a bracelet in Bangkok.

- I wouldn't doubt it.

This country's a lot
smaller than it seems.

- Do they know how
obvious they are?

- What do you think?

- [Abby] Safe to say,
Penny is pissed off.

This time, she sends
me a coconut

wearing an electric blue wig.

No message, just another
ridiculous picture.

I wish she would just
get over it.

- [Penny] You're gonna
want to see this one day.

Tell me why.

- I am not in the mood, okay?

- [Penny] Why? Why!

- Why? Okay, yeah, why.

Why?

Because you and me
need to grow up.

Because you and me are
too old to be partying

through third-world countries,
okay?

We have to settle down--

- [Penny] That's bullshit.

That's exactly what we're
supposed to be doing

at the age of 23.

- Look, I have a really good
thing going here with Brad

and I just wish, I wish you
would be happy for me, okay?

- [Penny] I can't believe
you're doing this.

- Okay, Pen, I've
made my decision.

I'm not coming.

I'm sorry.

- [Penny] Fine, whatever.

(suspenseful music)

- How much longer are
you gonna hide the sheep?

- Meaning what?

- Meaning there's something
on your mind all day.

You wanna come out with it?

- I have no idea what
you're talking about.

- You've got heaps of
shit on your mind.

It's obvious.

- Well, it's personal, so ...

- Shouldn't be.

You're amongst fellow
backpackers now.

There's no point in
keeping it all bottled up.

- Nice try, Dale.

- It's too bad, love.

You came all the way to paradise
to get stuck in your head.

(lush exotic orchestral music)

He's got this little lady.

She's doing a damn near
perfect impression of a Dyson

on his willy, so he decides
to turn things up a bit.

That's when he discovers
the little lady is,

in fact, a little fella.

(laughing)

- I've heard this urban
legend before.

- Oh, bullshit, mate.

My mate doesn't get angry.

Instead, he takes the
lady-boy out to a bar,

gets him absolutely
plastered and then

takes him to a tattoo parlor.

200 Australian dollars later,

a very strategic piece
of artwork is in place.

Between the lady-boy's
shoulder blades,

in such a way that it's
very hard for him to see,

it now reads "I have
cock and balls."

- Oh, you're kidding.

- Not only am I not kidding,

two days later I saw him
walking down the beach,

still trying to
seduce the farang,

which leads me to believe
he doesn't know

what it says on his back.

- Where's your buddy now?

- Probably back at Patong Beach.

Turns out playing a
little Russian Roulette

with his pecker is one of
his favorite new games.

(ecstatic moaning)

Oh, you like that?

- Give it to me!

- Naughtiness, naughtiness!

You want it harder?

(moaning)

- Yeah, yeah!

Oh! Oh!

(groaning orgasmically)

- Oh yeah, oh yeah.

- [Jewel] What are you doing?

- Hey! I wasn't--

We should go back to Ben.

Now.

Penny's arriving at
the docks today,

so I have to find out
what time to meet her.

I can't wait to hear about
everything she's been up to.

Huh, she sent me a video.

(dramatic music)

(gasping)

- Hey, just start talking.

Whatever you need to say
will come out.

- Something happened
this morning.

I went to the internet
cafe to check my email.

There's something I need
to show you guys.

- [Clown] If you go to the
police, I will kill her.

If you tell anybody you're
traveling with, I will kill her.

What I want from you
is very simple.

Keep having fun with
your new friends.

That's it.

Nothing more.

Please don't make me
prove that I'm serious.

- I'm so sorry I dragged
you both into this,

but I didn't know
what else to do.

- You know what this is, right?

- What?

- Penny's fine, Penny's fine.

Have you ever seen that movie,

The Game, with Michael Douglas?

Really?

Awesome movie.

Anyway, it's about this
guy who's priorities

were so whacked that his
brother hires these people

to do this game on him.

The game, it scares
him straight.

Makes him realize what's
most important in life.

Well, that's what this is.

This is the game in real time.

I mean, it's happening
all over southeast Asia.

It actually started
right here in Thailand.

You pay people some
money and then they help

your friend find
their happy again.

It's like, it's paradise
juxtaposed with terror.

It's a pretty good idea,
actually.

- I have no idea what
you're talking about.

- Of course you don't.

Here, this should paint a
clearer picture.

- Please, I'm begging you.

No, please!

You don't want to do this!

I'll do whatever you want!

Please, no, please stop!

(screaming)

- [Woman] Why would you do this?

- [Best Friend] You needed this.

You know you needed this.

- [Woman] I'm sorry.

(applause)

- See, I could show
you three more of these

from last week alone.

- I don't understand.

Why would Penny want to do
something like this to me?

- How were things back home?

- Fuck you!

Don't you dare turn
this around on me.

No, you know what?

I feel sorry for you.

- I guess things maybe
weren't perfect.

- Anything she might
be angry about?

- Maybe.

- [Ben] Like what?

- Like I didn't come with her.

I stayed home to be with Brad.

She's always telling me
that I take my life way too

seriously and that I'm not
as much fun as I used to be.

So, you're telling me that
that video is supposed to

help me take my life
less seriously?

- No, no, I'm saying that
that video is an attempt

at shocking you, yeah?

It's an attempt at getting
you out of your own way.

- I came all the way
to Thailand by myself.

Why wouldn't that be enough?

- It's your first time
to a third world country.

I mean, that's the pretty
perfect opportunity

for Penny to get her best
friend back, am I right?

Look, we've all heard the
horror stories.

We've seen the movies, how
scary and crazy Thailand can be.

Yeah, no doubt about it.

And now, your best friend
is supposedly kidnapped.

That's pretty scary, am I right?

- This is insane.

- You know what's insane?

A million hits, that's
what's insane.

- Are you sure?

- I've been criss-crossing
all over southeast Asia

for two years.

Believe me, if there was
something like this going on

in real life, I would
know about it.

- It makes sense.

- The way I see it, hey.

Chill out.

Chill out, enjoy the ride.

Play along.

Then, at the end, you'll
get to decide what you

want your life to turn out like.

- G'day, mates!

I love to see people's
faces when I say that.

What's going on in here?

- We're just hanging.

- Seems kind of tense
for just hanging.

Oh, shit.

I love those videos.

They're fucking hilarious.

I'd do it to one of my
mates if I had the money.

You still angry at me, love?

- No.

Sorry about earlier.

- How's about you save
your apology?

Join me for a cold
tinnie instead.

We'll consider it dead
fleas on a koala's ass.

- Get out there and
have some fun.

Those were the instructions.

- You bet your ass those
were the instructions.

Let's get plastered and
make some bad decisions.

Why the hell else would we
be on this beautiful island?

Come on, y'all.

It's Dale Time!

(suspenseful music)

Last time I went to this bar,

this hot little sheila
splatter-painted my chest.

Needless to say, we brought
that party all the way

back to her bungalow,
if you know what I mean.

(suspenseful music)

(upbeat electronic dance music)

- I have this horrible
feeling in my stomach.

I can't shake it.

My mind has been
racing all night.

I feel like--

Excuse me?

Did you put this
underneath my door?

In that room?

There was--

Do you even understand me?

(sighing)

- Let everything just release
and fill up your lungs.

Exhaling completely,
inhaling deeply.

- [Abby] Hey, Ben, can I
talk to you for a second?

- I'm a bit busy.

- Please? Now?

- Karma's calling, Ben.

- Speaking of karma,
how's about I get

some of what Benjamin's got?

- This better be good.

- [Clown] You have to ask
yourself a very simple question.

Was telling the filmmaker and

his hippie sidekick a good idea?

I'm not sure.

But, you're sure as hell
gonna find out.

All three of you are now my
pawns and Penny is your queen.

If you refuse to play
along, your queen dies

and if you feel the need
to tell anybody else,

especially that
Australian douchebag,

not only will she die,

but I will cut her into
pieces and have them

delivered to her family.

Now, get packed.

You are all due on the
11:30 to Koh Phangan.

Once there, sit tight
and await my next orders.

And, if you should refuse ...

(power saw revving)

- How could they possibly
know that I told you guys?

- Not sure.

Doesn't really matter now,
does it?

Got something on your mind?

You know, if you do, you
might want to say it now.

- I'm down to help you out,

but not if you're gonna be
looking at me like that.

- You still think it's a game?

- How bad do you feel
for telling us?

- Of course, I feel bad.

Okay, yeah, right, I get it.

That's what they want, but
this doesn't feel right.

How can we find out for sure?

- We can't.

If it were that easy, they
would have been out of business

a long time ago.

Plus, you shouldn't feel
bad about telling us.

No one's ever filmed it
from this side before.

- And what if it's real?

- [Ben] I wish.

- Trust me, Koh Phangan
is a magical place.

Nothing bad is going
to happen to us there.

- I'm not letting you go back
to those crazy sex hippies.

- They're yogis.

You know that.

Do you really want to use
this as another opportunity

to prove how
ignorant you can be?

- I'm not ignorant of shit.

I saw it with my own eyes.

- The visual and the spiritual
are on two completely

different planes of existence.

- Don't give me that bullshit.

- I'll go check on how
the boats are running.

- Jewel came here two
days after her best friend

died of cancer.

She was looking for answers.

Let's just say she
ended up finding them in

a very unique set of people.

You should go get packed.

(chuckling)

It's pretty funny.

These assholes
wouldn't know talent

if it were sucking on
their balls.

They would have got half
the money if I'd have been

approved for the grant
and now they get nothing.

(laughing)

You know, it's pretty
interesting considering

the whole Penny thing, right?

I'm talking to myself.

Fuck 'em.

I'm gonna get it done.

I'll just do it my own way.

- [Jewel] Everything all right?

- Yeah.

What's up?

- [Jewel] Time to head
for the boat.

- All right.

Let's do it.

(suspenseful music)

- Are you recording?

- [Ben] Whenever you're ready.

- Hello, Penny.

I hope you're enjoying
your vacation.

I wanted to make this
video for you so,

just to let you know
that I totally get

what you're trying to do.

You want me to see that
my life is really good and

that I need to quit
being such a head case.

I love you for
trying to help me,

but I just don't think
that this is the best way

to go about doing it.

I think it may be having the
reverse effect, actually,

so I, can we just let
this all be done now?

I'm ready to have some
fun with my best friend.

We came to Koh Phangan,
just like the guy in

the creepy clown
mask told us to,

so I'm guessing you're
somewhere nearby so

come out, come out,
wherever you are.

I love you, Penny.

Can we please just let
this all be done with

and go have some fun?

- Done and done.

Video is sent.

We'll have a Penny to
play with in no time.

- I told you this island is
filled with positive energy.

- I'm down for a drink.

Who's in?

- I'm good.

- Me too.

- To each his own.

- Did he tell you?

- Tell me what?

- He was denied for a
film grant this morning.

- That doesn't sound good.

- It's not.

A couple more weeks and
he'll be out of money.

Word to the wise?

Stand back while he
comes to terms.

(suspenseful music)

(grunting)

(waves lapping gently)

(suspenseful music)

- Ignorance!

It's always been ignorance!

People never see what's
sitting right in front of them.

(laughing)

I can't wait for the
day when everybody sees

how amazing my work is.

(laughing)

Best day of my fucking life.

(sighing)

Well, I'm gonna get more beer,
okay?

(suspenseful music)

(heavy breathing)

I really thought things
would be different here.

They're not.

I'm just a failure.

Like I've always been.

(laughing)

(sighing)

See, this is what it looks
like when dreams die.

Smile baby

Smile this morning

Make the sweetest sigh

Calling out to my dreams

(camera clicking and whirring)

- I came to get Ben for
breakfast this morning

and this is what I found.

I really hope he was
filming himself last night.

(heavy metal music)

(thunder rumbling)

- I'm sorry, who gave
this to you?

(speaking foreign language)

(thunder crashing)

- Not exactly sure what
happened last night,

but I'm pretty sure death
feels better than this.

Fuck.

- [Jewel] Can I get you
some whiskey?

- You're hilarious.

- We got another letter.

- What's it say?

- It's the local guy at
the restaurant.

They want us to go on a hike.

- And?

- And they left a map
for us to follow.

There's no mention of
the video that we made.

I think it's time that we
talk about our other options.

- Meaning what?

- Meaning I think we
should go to the police,

or the US Consulate--

- [Ben] Look, you might as well
cut Penny's throat yourself.

- You said this was just a game.

- No, I said I thought
this was a game.

- Now you're
changing your words.

- You're focusing on
the wrong things.

If we want to protect
Penny, we just keep playing.

- Yeah and what if it is
really some psychopath behind

all of this and what if we
go on this little hike and

he decides this time to chop
us all up into little pieces?

- First of all, you have seen
way too many horror films.

Secondly, I know it's confusing
but they were very clear

about what they'd do if
we go to anybody for help.

Yeah, there's risk involved.

We all know that, but fuck it.

You know what?

Life's just a piece
of shit anyway.

You need our help.

Penny needs our help and
I'm willing to

stick it out til it's done.

- I'm with Ben.

I think we'll be fine
if we stick together.

(suspenseful music)

- We're heading through
Paradise Falls and

I haven't seen a single
person since we got here.

(suspenseful music)

Everybody needs me to keep
from panicking,

but I really feel like shit.

I'm really getting tired
of babysitting.

We're about at the end of
the map the guy gave us.

I think we're really deep
into the jungle here.

- What are you doing?

- [Ben] What?

- Are you filming
for your movie?

- [Ben] No.

- Jesus, Ben, can we just
focus on this map and

finding Penny for like,
two seconds please?

- [Ben] All right, calm down.

- Your stupid fucking
movie is really

starting to piss me off.

Let's go!

- [Ben] What the fuck?

(suspenseful music)

- "Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

"Funny video.

"I liked it very much.

"Thank you.

"Simple instructions
for tonight:

"Buckets, buckets and
more buckets!

"I can't handle all the tension.

"Use the fliers as your guide
and please, have some fun."

- [Abby] What are buckets?

- As in the drink.

"Free buckets from 8:00
to 8:10, 9:20 to 9:30--"

- [Abby] Why would they
want us to go out and drink?

I don't get it.

- Wasn't that what Penny was
always trying to get you to do?

Loosen up and have some fun?

- Does this honestly
feel like an attempt at

helping me find my happy place?

- [Ben] Yeah, I don't
think I can drink today.

I promised God I
wouldn't this morning.

- The necklace.

It's Penny's.

- [Ben] How do you know?

- I gave it to her
before she left.

There's blood on it.

- Okay, all right.

Everybody calm down.

There's no way to know
that it's real blood

and how do we even know
if it's Penny's?

(explosion)

(screaming)

(dramatic music)

- [Ben] It's just the doll!

- Well, grown men are
supposed to be able

to fuck those things!

How did it pop?

- I don't claim to be
an expert on sex dolls,

but if everybody could
just calm down--

- You keep telling me to stay
calm,
okay?

This whole thing is insane!

I'm allowed to be a
little bit on edge.

And you know what?

It is really starting to
piss me off how

none of this seems
to affect you.

- What do you mean,
none of this affects me?

I'm just choosing to
keep it together.

- [Jewel] Abby?

- [Ben] I don't need
this shit today.

(suspenseful music)

Hello, ladies.

- What are you so happy about?

- Nothing.

- Where have you been?

We've been looking for you.

- I know.

I got some good footage of it.

- What?

- I needed some b-roll.

- Look, Ben, I am
getting really tired

of you filming everything.

- All right, enough.

Guys, we've had this
conversation already today,
okay?

- Exactly.

Who's ready for some buckets?

(dramatic music)

(camera clicking and whirring)

- Looky who I found.

- Oh, what have you
guys been up to?

(echoing laughter)

(suspenseful music)

(heavy breathing)

(dramatic music)

(camera clicking and whirring)

- Who are you looking for?

- Abby.

- I think she just went
to the bathroom.

- Yeah, she's fine.

She'll be right back.

- Pretty casual attitude
considering everything

that's been going on,
don't you think?

- What do you mean, everything
that's been going on?

- Nothing.

- No, it's not nothing.

- Yeah, I get it.

You're upset.

- What are you guys
talking about?

- Forget it.

- So fucking dramatic.

- Abby?

Abigail?

Abby!

Abigail!

Ben!

- [Ben] Oh, shit.

- Oh my god.

Do you see that?

Someone got her good.

(laughing)

- You need to go.

You need to go.

- [Tabitha] Relax!

I'm not trying to hurt
anyone's feelings.

(laughing)

- You know what?

I'm glad you're having
a good time but

you need to leave now!

- Fine.

Uptight.

Geez.

- I need help.

- [Clown] How was your night?

Funny thing about alcohol.

It dulls the senses,
makes it really easy

to sneak right by somebody
and slip a little something

in their drink if you want to.

Too bad about your dad.

Your mom looks like a nice lady,
though.

How is Ithaca this time of year?

I've always wanted to visit.

(screaming)

(static buzzing)

(knocking)

- Who is it?

- [Ben] It's Ben.

- I think I was
drugged last night.

- Yeah, that makes three of us.

Something I need you to see.

- Somebody please help me.

(whimpering)

He won't let me go.

He said if I try to escape,
he's gonna kill my family.

(sobbing)

Please.

- The bathroom.

(suspenseful music)

Whoa, whoa.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- [Abby] I'm taking these
to the police.

We need help.

- No, no, no, no.

We can't, we can't.

- [Abby] Bullshit.

It's over.

It's gone way too far.

- So, even if it means
Penny's life, you're done?

- What do you suggest we do?

- We keep fighting.

We get her back.

- No, no way.

Not like this.

- With a best friend like you--

- What the fuck is that
supposed to mean?

- I'm talking about Penny.

- You don't even know Penny!

- You know, which is odd,
because I'm the only one

who's looking out for her.

- You're not looking
out for Penny.

You're looking out for you
and yourself and your movie!

Jesus!

You don't give a shit
about Penny!

You were denied your grant
so you have to go home.

This is your last shot at
getting whatever the fuck

you think you need to
finish your film.

I know all about it, so let's
just be clear about that.

- Fuck you.

- Oh, fuck me?

It's not my fault that you
don't have what you need.

- Guys!

- That's such bullshit.

- Look!

(suspenseful music)

- "Ready to go to
the police yet?

"Sure would hate to
have to kill Penny when

"you're this close to
getting her back.

"And to think, all you would
have to do is keep a clear head

"and continue to play along.

"Tonight, Full Moon Party
Treasure Hunt.

"Step One, hippie chick
drinks a mushy shake

"at Mushroom Mountain, five p.m.
sharp.

"Be there or I cut Penny
into little squares."

(suspenseful music)

- I'll do whatever you
need me to do.

- Okay.

Before this goes one
step further,

we are getting the fuck
out of this hotel.

(suspenseful music)

(knocking)

Ben?

- Yeah, one second.

- [Abby] Why is your
room locked?

- [Ben] Forget it.

Let's go.

- [Ben] As good as always?

- Hope you guys are good
without me for a while.

(speaking foreign language)

- Who gave that to you?

Excuse me?

- "Say 'I love Penny'?"

(upbeat tropical music)

Hi.

I love Penny?

- To drink?

- Yeah, two beers please.

Who gave this to you?

(suspenseful music)

I don't understand how
doing any of this

could actually help someone.

- They break you down.

The real you becomes very clear.

- Eight p.m. sharp.

What do you think would
happen if we went earlier?

- I'm down if you are.

Abby, we are not leaving
here without Penny.

Know that.

You were right, what
you said earlier.

I don't know her.

When it comes to my film,
it's not very casual

but this is not about
my film anymore.

This is about not
letting those fuckers

push us around anymore.

No more being on the
bottom of the pile.

Where'd Jewel go?

(upbeat electronic music)

- Ha!

You guys have to try this!

It feels amazing!

(suspenseful music)

(voices echoing)

(suspenseful music)

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

(retching)

- [Abby] Oh, my god.

Penny's gonna die.

What is this shit?

- [Ben] No, no, no.

We have to keep it together,
all right?

- [Abby] Oh, god, how?

Tabitha's dead.

We're all gonna die!

- [Ben] We're not gonna die,
all right.

Just let me think for a minute.

- [Abby] What the fuck
does it matter?

- [Ben] This can't be real.

- [Abby] She's already dead.

I know it.

- [Ben] You don't know that,
all right?

- We don't know anything.

That is the point.

- [Ben] Okay, the last
time we saw Penny,

she was alive, all right?

We still have to
believe that's true.

- [Abby] I can't do
this anymore!

(sobbing)

- [Ben] It's the only
choice we've got.

Do you really want to
be the reason

that your best friend
gets killed?

- [Abby] That is not fair.

(sobbing)

I didn't ask for any of this.

I'm not the strong one.

She is.

(sobbing)

- [Ben] Breathe, breathe,
breathe.

(suspenseful music)

I fuckin' knew it.

It's a fucking security camera.

(suspenseful music)

(upbeat electronic dance music)

(screaming)

(upbeat electronic dance music)

(screaming)

- What's wrong?

- Where's Jewel?

- She said she wanted
to get some fresh air.

- [Ben] Where'd she go?

- I don't know.

Out to the beach, I guess.

Why?

What's going on?

- This was taped to our
front door this morning.

- What is it?

- I'm not sure.

It will be hard to watch.

- Hi, Abby!

It's me.

I'm outside.

I just wanted you to know that

everything's much better
today, so thank you.

Thank you for playing along.

I even got to take a
shower today.

I almost forgot.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

Whoop-Dee-Doo

Whoop-Dee-Doo

I've got a present

I've got a present

Just for you

Just for you

(static buzzing)

- [Ben] Is today your birthday?

- [Abby] Mm-hm.

- There were other things
in the envelope.

Things I couldn't show Abby.

Things that would push
her over the edge.

"Tell Jewel to watch her
fucking mouth."

Now, she's nowhere to be found.

The real question is
when to stop.

How far is too far when you
have a legitimate chance

for the first time in your life?

This ...

(sighing)

This is where it all ends.

I can't show this to Abby.

She'd go running for help.

I can't.

I'm too fucking close.

I think this is Penny's.

- I don't understand why
you won't tell me

what we're doing here.

- [Ben] Because there's a lot
of answers to that question

that you don't want to hear.

- I don't need you
to play Daddy.

(yogis chanting)

(Jewel moaning ecstatically)

- [Ben] God fucking damn it!

- This was where my spirit
told me I needed to be.

- Who have you been talking to?

- No one.

- Well, whoever's
playing this game with us

thinks you have been.

- What?

- We got another video,
one with a note and

some very specific
instructions for you to keep

your fucking mouth shut.

- I didn't know
there was a note.

- Trust me, there's some
things you don't want to know.

- That's not your
decision to make.

- What was on the video?

- Well, it was Penny.

She was outside.

She was wearing a nice
summer dress.

Some very happy shit.

- What else are you
keeping from me?

- Who have you been talking to?

- No one.

- [Ben] Then why does
he think you have been?

- I don't know.

Maybe they saw me talking to
Dale on the beach this morning.

- Did you fuck him, too?

- I was meditating.

He stumbled up to me.

He was still up from last night.

We talked, but I didn't
say anything.

- You positive?

- Yes.

I wanted to, though.

- [Ben] Why?

How could that possibly help?

- Let's face it, Ben.

Things have gotten
rather serious

and if they continue to
get any worse,

I wouldn't mind having
someone like Dale around.

(chuckling)

- I think telling Dale
would be a very bad idea.

- No, if we're telling anyone,
it's gonna be the police.

- That's an even worse idea.

Telling the Thai police
department you're caught up

in a kidnapping and a murder?

That usually doesn't go
over very well.

- We didn't do anything wrong.

- You think that matters?

The Thai police department
is one of the most

corrupt police
departments in the world.

Do you think they care
who did what?

- Well, then, maybe telling
Dale isn't such a bad idea.

- Have you been listening
to anything I'm saying?

- Then what do you
suggest we do, Ben?

- I don't know.

(telephone ringing)

When did you get a phone?

- I didn't.

- Let me see it.

Hello?

- [Clown] So happy to see
you all together again.

Two p.m. today, you three
and Jewel's best friend,

the Australian, are going
to Namtok Beach.

- I never said anything to Dale.

He doesn't need to be a
part of this.

- [Clown] Dale.

Good to know.

He's not part of our game
because he knows anything.

He's part of our game because
he looks like a lot of fun.

- Will Penny be there?

- [Penny] Abby, it's me.

Please, keep doing whatever
it is you've been doing.

Things have been getting better.

- Penny? Penny?

- [Abby] Are you filming them?

I asked you a question.

- [Ben] Yeah, I am and you
might as well save your breath

because as long as I want
to film things,

that's exactly what
I'm gonna do.

What the fuck are you doing?

(suspenseful music)

(screaming)

- [Ben] What?

What is it?

- It's nothing.

I thought I saw something.

- [Dale] Everything all right,
love?

- Mm-hm.

Let's keep going.

- [Dale] This is a nice
little camera you've got here.

The dynamic range on this
little fella's amazing.

- What now?

- Maybe I should film you ladies

getting sexy with the camera.

- There's no one else here.

- [Dale] How a little
bit of that ethnic love

for Dale's sexy-cam?

- [Ben] Hold up!

Holy shit!

Y'all see this?

Anybody else see what I see?

- [Dale] There must be
some other hikers around.

- [Abby] Those are
Penny's clothes.

- [Dale] Penny?

Another lovely lady?

Never have too many of
those around.

I may not be an expert,

but I'd say that looks
like blood to me.

- [Ben] Yeah, we know.

- What do you mean, you know?

You expected some weird
shit like this?

- He deserves to know.

- [Dale] I don't like the
sound of that.

- If we tell him, she dies.

- [Dale] I really don't
like the sound of that.

- [Jewel] He's involved now.

- Actually, you know what?

Maybe I am best left in
the dark on this one.

(dart popping)

- [Dale] Ow!

- [Abby] What is it?

- It's a fucking tranq dart!

(dart popping)

(Jewels screams)

- [Abby] They're coming
from the jungle!

(darts popping)

- [Ben] Ow! Fuck!

(suspenseful music)

(crickets chirping)

(waves lapping gently)

(groaning)

(birds screeching)

- I don't know if I'm
gonna make it out of here.

(whimpering)

It's so dark and I keep
losing the trail

and my battery's almost dead.

(sniffling)

If you find this and I'm gone,

(sobbing)

please tell Penny Sanderson's
parents of Troy, New York

that I did everything
I could to save her and

please tell my mom,

(sobbing)

Jane Ferris of Albany, New York,

that I'm so sorry that
this happened.

(sniffling)

That I really wanted to
make her proud someday,

that I love her.

(sobbing)

(dramatic music)

Why are you doing this?

(birds twittering)

(church bells chiming)

- [Clown] You run, she dies.

They all die.

(whimpering)

(static crackling)

- Dale?

- What the fuck is going on?

I just woke up in a god
damned pile of garbage

with the key to this room
taped to my fucking chest.

- I don't know what happened.

- Are you three playing
games with me?

Is this part of Benjamin's
movie or something?

- No.

- Where the fuck is everybody?

- Please calm down.

I can explain.

- [Dale] I want some
fucking answers!

So, you're telling me,
I'm either on one of those

internet videos where a
psychopath has abducted
everybody?

- No, I'm telling you
that we all thought

it could have been one
of those videos but,

after everything
that's happened,

I don't see how that's possible.

- [Dale] That's the point,
darlin'.

Hell, I saw a video where
they abducted a guy and

locked him in a coffin
for two days.

It's whatever it takes to
break you down.

- I feel like I'm going insane.

- This is Thailand, love.

Everybody's a bit insane.

How's about this?

I'll head on into town and

do a little
just-in-case shopping.

- Just-in-case shopping?

- Oh, that's the best kind.

(dogs barking)

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Stopped by my unit and got
you some clothes, love.

Just-in-case shopping.

(chuckling)

You think they're
filming us now?

(telephone ringing)

Hello?

This is Dale, mate.

You think you're funny?

All right.

Now, how's about you
shut your fucking mouth.

First things first, we want
proof that everyone is okay.

Until you satisfy
this requirement,

we will not entertain
any of your requests.

Well, it looks like you've
got some work to do, then.

You best watch that
tone of yours.

There's a shitstorm a-brewing.

You do not want it
coming down on your head.

That is right, mate, and
you best keep in mind

that I'm not like these
little sheilas

you've been pushing around.

I'm the real deal and I will
break you the fuck down.

As far as I can see,
you've got two options.

You either get me the proof
I've so cordially requested

or you confront me face to face.

I look forward to it.

- Have you lost your
fucking mind?

- Oh, calm down, love.

Just rattling the cage
a little bit.

- He's going to kill
all of them!

- Listen, if he really
is a psychopath,

I'm betting I'm the one
he wants to kill now

and there is one thing
I can guarantee you,

a walk down Thunder Road with
Dale is no kind of picnic.

What do you say we go
get ourselves

a couple of cold tinnies?

(upbeat electronic music)

- Hey, can I ask you a question?

- I'm not really in the mood.

- How's Penny?

- What can we do for you, mate?

- Do you know where she is?

Tell me!

- Calm down, love, calm down.

Have a seat.

- Chill your chick out, man.

- What do you know about Penny?

- Some chick in a trucker
hat asked me to do it.

- A chick?

(telephone ringing)

- Dale? The phone!

- Tell me about this chick.

- Dale?

- She was wearing a
trucker hat and that's it.

That's all I know.

- Phone?

- Give me the phone, love.

Hello?

I believe there's a matter of
proof to be dealt with first.

He hung up on Dale.

- So what's the--

- It's time to take a walk, bro.

- You got it.

- We got somewhere to be, love.

Get your beer.

(suspenseful music)

- Dale came up with a
ridiculous plan that he

thinks is going to make
him look like a hero,

so it's obvious that he
still thinks it's

one of those internet videos.

I can't do this.

I keep asking myself what
would Penny do

if she were in my place.

I know exactly what she'd do.

She's always been a strong--

(screaming)

(dramatic music)

No, no, no, no, no.

(dramatic music)

(screaming)

My camera died last night.

I thought I found a
safe place to sleep but

I woke up in this new location,

with my camera fully charged,

in this ridiculous
fucking outfit.

I'm just about tired of
being made fun of.

(distant heavy metal music)

(hard-driving heavy metal music)

(screaming)

(screaming)

(whimpering)

(power saw revving)

(screaming)

(heavy metal music)

(screaming)

(sobbing)

- Ladies and gentlemen!

It is my profound pleasure
to introduce to you,

Miss Tabitha Humphries!

("Babygirl" by Rockapella)

Babygirl

Let me wrap these
arms around you

Babygirl

Like you wrap my heart

Around your every move

Let me cradle you tonight

Babygirl

Babygirl

Now I said words
don't come easy

In my world

But you opened up a
door to someplace new

There's a wonderland inside

And all I'm feeling

I can't hide

Say I'm the love of your life

I ain't afraid to say I'd die

Without you

Tell me you're mine
from tonight

It's clear to me

That I will always love you

Always

Say to me

Baby girl

Oh, Baby girl

Baby girl

Baby girl

- [Both] You've gotta take
the good with the bad,

smile with the sad,
love what you got,

remember what you had,

always forgive but never forget,

learn from mistakes but
never regret.

- I love you, Abby.

- Love you, too.

(upbeat jazzy polka-style music)

- Excuse me, this seat taken?

- [Woman] No, sit down.

- I'm John.

Pleasure to meet you.

- [Woman] Emily Tull.

- Who knew Austria could
be so pretty, right?

(upbeat jazzy polka-style music)
