3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: dead and the other tried for murder three times. From

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: the start. The omens are bad.

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: Their place is the darkest sjungle you've ever seen in

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,520

Speaker 1: They set up a nature reserve and build a strange

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,360

00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: of a hill in the middle of the jungle in

15

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,039

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: believe me, stories don't get much weirder than this, Because

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: even out here in the jungle, you can run, but

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: you can't hide. All of a sudden, there's guys with guns,

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: lots of men with guns. They were saying, help, help,

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: the they're kidnapping us. As their past catches up with them.

Speaker 1: Our couple retreat from reality.

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,200

00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: out of control.

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: inside the boss's house.

32
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: And I could see the gun on the floor and

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: the trail of blood, and one of them will end

34
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: up being tried for murder.
