I think we lost him.
Get them off me!
Run!
♪ Inaudible ♪
Head to the ♪inaudible ♪
But what if they beat us there?
Run!
Come on.
Dad?
Lindsey?
Hi, you've reached Edward and Lindsey.
Sorry, we can't get to the phone right now.
But please leave a message, and I'll call you back.
Hey, dad.
It is Eva.
It's 1300 hours, Thursday 12th.
I got home early so I tried to surprise you.
But it looks like you're not here.
Could you give me a call when you get this?
So how was South Africa?
Oh, I spent three years trying to convince the community
that Glossopteris was a conifer and not a fern.
They insisted it wasn't, and I lost all my funding.
Cass, I'm sorry.
What is a Glossopteris?
Glossopteris is an extinct genus of fossilized plants.
They were once a dominant life form on the planet,
and their existence helps to prove that Gondwana
was a supercontinent.
Botswana was a continent?
Oh, it is lucky you're pretty.
You've heard of the concept of supercontinents, right?
That originally the planet was made up
of two giant islands that's gradually split over time.
Gondwana is the name for what's now.
South America, Africa, India, Australia, New
Zealand, and Antarctica.
They were originally melded together as one.
Now we know Glossopteris used to inhabit Gondwana,
and we've since found it fossilized
in all of those territories individually.
So that proves that they were once all joined up?
Exactly.
See, he gets it?
And how are you doing over?
How was the tour?
Intense, like most of them.
But I like to think we're bringing stability
to the region.
Look at you, out saving the world.
Hmm, I wouldn't quite put it like that.
And how's your dad?
He hasn't been by the lab for a while.
I don't know.
I haven't heard from him yet.
Well, it's good to have you back.
To having Ava back.
Morning, stud.
How did you sleep?
What's up?
This letter was dated six weeks ago.
When was the last time you heard from him?
Um, must have been about two months ago.
I called dad from ♪ inaudible♪ on a day off.
I tried calling him yesterday...
no answer.
Maybe they left you a note.
Is your dad like a spy?
He's an archaeologist.
That's all research.
Well, looks like he was looking for something.
Well, he was.
He was looking for the island my grandad went
to when he was younger, became kind of obsessed with it.
That's why we moved to England.
Hi, pumpkin.
Hope you're well.
I know we are...
well, we haven't spoken for a while.
Obviously, I was away before you left,
so we didn't get a chance to say goodbye properly.
But I'm thinking about every day,
and I can't wait to see you.
But, to the point, great news...
Lindsey found something, part of a map...
well, more a sea chart, really.
But it's an exact match to grandad's island.
And we think we figured out where it is.
This is it.
I think this is the big one.
So we're setting out first thing in the morning.
And we should be no more than two weeks,
so we'll be back long before you finish your tour.
I'll tell you all about it when I see you.
Love you, pumpkin.
See you soon.
Well, at least we know where he is.
And what's grandad's island?
Oh, it's the island my grandad went to before he died.
He was an archaeologist, too.
That's where dad got the bug.
He used to help him at work.
But when I was like five, my grandad
went to some uncharted island, and we never
heard from him again.
I think eight of them went.
Only one made it back, some guy named Fitz...
totally lost his marbles.
He's in a home now, but we never heard from grandad again.
And dad never gave up looking for him.
I wonder what happened to them all?
Hmm.
You and me both.
OK, thanks, ♪? Marek.?♪ I just spoke to my dad's team
in Warsaw.
They haven't heard from him in weeks.
I'm sure he's fine.
It's a remote island.
There's probably no signal, right?
He should have been back weeks ago.
What if he's in trouble?
There's no system to any of this.
This man is so disorganized.
I mean, look at this mess.
It's a wonder he can find a ring binder, let alone an island.
Amber, I think I found something.
It's a two day sail from the port.
All the kit is packed.
The five of us leave it at first sunlight.
Wait, this is it, Luke.
Glad I could help.
Hey, I can get a boat.
I can go after him.
What do you mean?
It is a classic extraction.
This is what I do, Luke.
And this is the island your grandad disappeared from,
right?
Yeah, that is why I have to go.
I can't... I can't lose both of them.
Not after mom.
I'm going, Luke.
Then I'm going with you.
Maybe I could be your bodyguard, protect you from the locals.
You guys really like plants, huh?
They predate the human race.
They're responsible for the air that we breathe.
And they form the bedrock of every living ecosystem.
Imagine you had your feet stuck in cement your entire life.
How would you hunt, evade predators, mate?
I can assure you, I'd have no trouble mating.
You know, this looks like an ♪? Arborealis.? ♪
It is.
Wow, you actually been listening to me all of these years?
Maybe she learnt by osmosis.
Plants do that.
It's a plant-based joke.
Yeah, my grandad bought one back from a dig once.
I remembered it because it looks like a tongue.
You know, that is actually why we're here.
You're here about your grandad?
Mmm-hmm.
You know the island?
Dad found it.
He's found it.
How?
He found a map.
And then dad went with Lindsey to the island,
but no one's heard from them.
And they haven't been back for like a month.
So we are going after them, me and Luke.
OK, and you're here to...
Ask you to come with us.
You said you lost your funding for the South Africa project,
right?
Yeah, but we haven't...
Well, I have got you a new one, funded by yours truly.
Mmm-hmm.
It's an uncharted island.
It will be an archaeologist's dream.
Um, I'm a paleobotanist.
It will be a paleobotanist dream.
I'll have to ask Tommy.
Well, bring him with us.
We'll need the whole team.
When are you leaving?
Tomorrow.
We'll pick you up en route to the docks.
Fine.
If we discover a new species, I'm taking all the credit.
Maybe you should stay here.
I don't want to swamp him.
Thanks.
I won't be long.
It's been some time since he's had a visitor.
He'll be glad of the company, but please don't be upset
when he doesn't talk to you.
Of course.
Someone's here to see you Arthur.
Isn't that nice?
Hey, Fitz.
I don't know if you remember me, but I'm.
Carl's granddaughter, Ava.
Do you remember Carl?
You used to work together.
I'm sorry that dad and I haven't been to visit more.
After we lost grandad, it was really hard.
My dad threw himself into work.
He got a job offer at Warsaw University
and spent most of his time digging around Europe.
I wanted to talk to you about that trip,
the one with grandad.
About the island... dad's found it.
And he's there now, but we haven't heard from him.
And he should have been back ages ago.
I'm scared.
I'm scared that something's gone wrong.
And after we lost grandad, and then mom,
if he doesn't come home, Fitz, I don't
know what I'm going to do.
We are going after him tomorrow.
And I found...
I found this.
No.
No, no, no, no.
No, you can't.
It is madness.
You can't do this.
What have you been saying to him?
I'm sorry.
The island knows only death.
Do not go near it, I beg of you.
Sorry.
It's all right.
Don't worry.
How'd it go?
He couldn't remember anything.
Didn't even know I was there, poor thing.
Plan still goes ahead?
Mmm-hmm.
Plan still goes ahead.
Hello?
We're shut.
What do you mean you're shut?
The sign on the door to literally says open.
Yeah, well, we just shut.
I need a boat.
Good for you.
You do not understand.
Sure, I do.
You need a boat.
Look, I have a map to an island.
I'm going to level with you, OK?
I've got to deflated rips, rope burn on both hands,
and I'm pretty sure the kid I hired to clean the boat
house stealing from me.
So unless that map is drawn on the back of a very large check,
the answer is no.
Well, how about you point me in the direction of someone who
might be more accommodating?
10,000.
What?
10,000 pound.
I will take you wherever you want to go.
I'll give you 100.
Deal.
It's phenomenal, simply phenomenal.
You can keep it, if you like.
Look, there's an insect fossilized on the leaf.
Hey, Cassie, do you know what this can tell us
about this ecosystem?
You know, we've got tons of those knocking around
back home.
If you want, when we get back, you can take a look around,
take anything you want.
Why has Cassie waited till now to introduce us?
Africa will seem like a bad dream
before long, right, Tommy?
You know, this looks a bit ♪inaudible♪..
Funny.
It all started with Ava's dad, really.
When we were kids, he used to Bury his fossils in Ava's sand
pit and make us Bury them out.
She hated it.
She just wanted to play desert soldiers.
She used to cut the hair off her Barbies
and make them fight, because Ed wouldn't buy her GI Joes.
But I loved it.
I applied to do a systematics at Imperial
and was given Tommy as my advisor.
He offered me a Grant to change courses to botany.
Turns out, he was the country's leading botanist,
so that was that.
Brightest student I've ever had.
It's the first year they offered the course,
so I'm your first and only student.
Plus, you had to bribe me with money.
It doesn't make it not true.
There's a distress signal.
Looks like it's coming from your island.
Hey.
Hope you're not planning on using that on me.
I don't know if you heard... it's now Michael.
He's...
Yeah, I heard that there's a distress signal.
I'm sure they're fine.
They're probably just broken down
and they've been waiting for someone to come and get them.
I'm sure.
Ava, I promise everything's going to be fine.
Now there, if you can stand me together, right?
Wake up.
We're here.
Guys, you're going to want to see this.
I think I found the beacon.
Where's the boat?
I think this is the boat.
Well, now we know why they didn't
♪ inaudible♪, thought, right?
What?
OK.
Maybe a storm came in while they were exploring the island,
and that washed the boat up on the rocks,
and that set off the beacon.
Your dad's a smart man.
There's a camp on this map.
I bet you anything they made it here,
and then headed straight there.
This is ♪? Melepomani.?♪ I thought it'd gone extinct.
♪ ? melepomani?♪ is endemic to Ecuador.
What is it doing flourishing this high at the equator?
I guess that's science speak for what's with all red plants?
I was wondering that myself.
Holy.
Good grief.
It's a dinosaur.
Now there's something you don't see every day.
It's a ♪inaudible♪.
You can tell by the shape of its front horn.
It's longer, and it's got their short beak.
We need to set up camp.
Start taking samples.
Get your dictaphone out.
Hey.
Hey, no one's doing anything or going anywhere
until we've found Ava's parents.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm losing my as well.
Until we know that Ed and Lindsey are safe,
we're going to stick together, and we're
going to track them down, OK?
Does that include me?
Yes, that includes you, Captain Birdseye.
You're part of the team now.
And no one wander off.
We don't know what else is in these woods.
So you and Cassie...
do you have to take advantage of that student-teacher
relationship, if you know what I mean?
No, I don't know what you mean.
You know, have you two ever...
Just so you know, when someone says,
I don't know what you mean, it's not
that they don't understand what you've said.
It's that they can't comprehend why you're saying it.
All right.
Calm down, guy.
You're a man of the species, aren't you?
Oh!
Oh.
No, no, no, no.
Don't do that.
What do you expect me to do?
Let the sucker fill up on my blood
and then infect me with whatever jungle virus it's carrying.
No, I was going to remove it for you safely.
Leeches don't carry diseases.
But if you pull it off like you've just done,
you can tear their entire body away
from its teeth, which can rot inside you
and cause all sorts of other problems.
Well, now it can't be a problem for anyone.
Firstly, while very heroic of you,
that doesn't solve the problem of his teeth currently stuck
in your leg.
And secondly, we're surrounded by a middle of an ecosystem we
know nothing about, surrounded by plants and animals
we know nothing about.
And killing them isn't going to help
us garner any useful or helpful information.
Yeah, well, why don't you go and garner
some new and helpful information by yourself,
and leave me to it, Tom, yeah?
Oh.
At least let me clean the wound for you.
What have you been feeding on that has black blood?
Where are we?

First signs, man.
Come and look at this.
They're made by a theropod, big one.
Maybe an allosaurus.
Looks bigger.
Could be a shoebill.
♪ Inaudible♪ Rex.

Unfortunately for us, I think it's
one of his distant relatives.
Tyrannosaur?
Could be.
Just perfect.
My dad's backpack.
Was it always look like that?
No.
No, I got it new for him on his last dig.
At least we know they made it off the boat.
Hey.
Your man here reckons there's a T-Rex knocking
about these woods.
I'll be frank with you, that's not what I signed up for.
So if you want me to stick around, I'm going to...
I'm going to need something extra.
Are you listening to me?
Hey, chill out.
Chill out?
Doc, tell Romeo here what you just told me.
We found tracks in the ground.
I think it's a Tyrannosaur.
It's heading that way to the coast.
But it's still fresh.
Still want me to chill out?
Now, I ain't doing this for nothing.
So unless you're about to offer me
a considerable amount of money, I'm heading back to my boat
right now, and you can all swim home.
Take this.
Video evidence of the triceratops.
It's worth a fortune.
And I don't know...
you could write a book or do canoe tours or something.
You're lucky to be here.
It's a privilege to see these animals.
Are you OK?
Something in the back of my head.
Do you suffer from migraines?
Could it be the humidity of the place?
Get off me.
I'm fine.
Let's just leave this stupid place and find a stupid camp.
You OK?
Yeah.
They made it to the camp.
Come on.
Let's go.
Dad?
Lindsey?
Dad?
Lindsey?
Ava, shhh.
Dad?
Lindsey?
Sweetheart, the man just said shut your trap.
I heard what the man said.
Yeah?
Think about doing it.
Dozy bitch.
Jesus.
Oh, God.
Oh, all right.
All right.
Three weeks ago, I was pointing a gun
at a 13-year-old boy who had been coerced
by a bunch of religious maniacs to point
an RPG at a truck full of American soldiers.
You see, I knew those soldiers, and they
were the biggest bunch of heinous assholes
that you could imagine.
So in that moment, I had to decide
whether I was willing to take a child's life
or save six men who I had seemed to ungodly things
to a bunch of innocent civilians.
So please, do not think that because you
have a twig and berries between your leg
that, somehow, you're more robust,
level headed, and a better decision maker than me.
Oh.
You work for me.
As long as you do as I say, go where I go,
and get us home safely, I will make sure
that you are well looked after.
Until then, keep your trap shut unless I tell you otherwise.
OK, sweetheart?
Dad?
They're not here.
There's a good chance they're not far from here.
They probably just started another dig or something.
You know, I was really hoping that you
were going to be right, and we would just
find them on the beach relaxing somewhere.
But I cannot shake the feeling that something's wrong,
Hey, we came here to find your dad.
We're not leaving without him.
We found the camp, didn't we?
We just need to press on, OK?
OK.
Thank you.
You're not going to break my arm, are you?
Get on your feet, guys.
We're moving.
Michael?
Are you OK?
I feel ♪inaudible♪.
You really gave it to him back there.
Guys like him all bark and no bite.
Isn't that right, Cass?
Cass?
Where the hell did they go?
Cassie?
Michael?
Cassie?
Michael, don't make me use this.
Sweet Mary and Joseph.
What happened?
He attacked me.
His eyes went black.
I'm going to kill him.
He wasn't himself.
You're not going to get that privilege.
He attacked me, and I had to defend myself.
How are you doing?
I don't get what came over him, what made him do that.
I've been thinking.
There's a fungus called Ophiocordyceps unilateralis.
It affects jungle ants in Brazil.
It enters the ant's bloodstream as a single cells,
then multiplies, like cancer.
It disconnects the ant's motor skills
from his hind brain function.
I think Michael suffered from some form
of insidious infection, something that turned off
his prefrontal cortex, turned off his control,
rendered him at the whims of his most primal desires...
fighting, mating, and killing.
What are you saying?
He wanted to come here.
There are extinct lifeforms on this island anyone
would kill to see.
Look, all these ecosystems have defense mechanisms, ways
of keeping external forces out.
Guess we just never encountered these ones before.
That's not your fault.
Thank you.
I just can't get his face out of my head.
His eyes...
I am sorry for what happened, for bringing to this island.
But tomorrow, we're going to get you back on that boat
and get you home, OK?
But how, without Michael?
I can drive the boat.
What about you dad?
We just need to get you home.
That's all that matters right now.
It will be getting dark soon, And we should all get some rest
before we do anything tomorrow.
Meaning to ask you, why have you come here?
I used to come to a lake like this with my dad,
before I lost him...
17.
Ava was there for me then.
Don't want to lose her dad, as well, so...
Here I am.
Well, you're here now.
Yeah.
Anyway, we should probably get back soon.
When I was younger, dad used to take Cassie and me camping.
We would go to little streams like this.
And one year, we went to ♪? Snowden? ♪
And built a massive dam.
And we went back the following year.
And then a new stream had formed.
It went down the mountain ♪inaudible ♪
formed a lake at the bottom.
And there was a lamb that was drinking from it.
It's funny how a small action can change so many things.
Are you sure you want to leave today?
You don't want to stay?
Cassie could have died yesterday.
Michael did dying die.
We need to leave before anything else happens.
What about your dad?
I was looking through the things yesterday,
and I think I know where they're going next.
Luke, I've made my decision.
We're leaving.
Ava, I have to ask.
That story you told Michael to scare him
about the child soldier...
Hush.
I'm sorry.
I didn't...
Shhhh!
You're up early.
Just been compiling a few specimens
I'm trying to build up as much of a portfolio
as I can before I head back to the boat.
What have you done with the leech?
What do you mean?
It's not in the jar.
Drop the ♪inaudible♪..
He can smell ♪inaudible♪.
Something was carrying that infection.
I've just figured out what was.
The head's still in.
Cassie, give me the knife.
Give it to me.
Give it to me now.
I can't believe Michael was right.
We really need to...
Cassie.
Tommy.
Tommy, ♪inaudible♪.
Come on.
Jacob?
Do you know him?
Yeah, he's part of my dad's research team.
Jacob, I'm sorry.
Jacob?
Do you know where my dad is?
Where Lindsey is?
Do you know what happened to them?
Luke, could you take Cassie behind the trees over there
for me?
I don't want you to see this.
Oh, that's not good.
Predatory species never stray too far from their nest.
Ava,
We need to go now.
Just give me a sec.
I said go.
We're in the middle of their nest.
We need to leave now.
I said go.
Give me a sec.
Guys?
Reading my dad's journal, it looks like most of his team
got infected.
I think that's what happened to Jacob and Michael.
Tommy thought that it could be something fungal, something
that you breathed in.
It's the leeches.
That's how it's spreading.
The one we had on the jar?
It got out, and it got Tommy.
Oh, Cass.
It changed him, like Michael, like that guy.
I saw it.
His eyes went black.
He lost all control, and he tried to attack me.
What happened?
The raptor... it got him.
I ran.
Tommy... is he dead?
I don't know.
We have to go back.
What?
We have to go back for Tommy, in case he's alive,
get him to the boat, to the mainland, to a hospital.
Maybe they can cure him.
I think he's beyond saving, Luke.
Our priority is getting Cassie back to the boat.
And what about Tommy?
Tommy would go back to for Cass, and I'd
like to think he'd do the same for me.
Oh, God.
We left all the research at camp.
All the more reason to go back.
Look, I'll go back for Tommy.
And while I'm there, I'll grab the kit.
I don't care about the research.
I care about you.
The whole reason your dad came here, your grandad came here,
was to document this place.
If we can't bring them back, let me bring their research back,
at least.
There are two routes back to the coast on this map.
Take this one.
It will take you out of the woods, away from here,
and away from that nest.
If you haven't caught up with us by the time we get to the boat,
I'm coming back for you.
I'll be there.
Now, go on.
Go.
Get out of here.
Go on.
Go.
How are you holding up?
I just want to get off this island.
Well, Luke should be back soon.
Hopefully, we can bring Tommy home safely, get him
to a hospital, figure out what this infection is
and get rid of it.
We both know Tommy isn't making it back, Ava.
I'm sorry, Cass.
We're not soldiers, Ava.
We're scientists.
Tommy should be back in his lab working
on getting his thesis published.
Now he's lying dead in those woods.
Oh, and now your boyfriend's wandered off,
and God knows when he'll be back.
We should never have come here.
I had no idea what was on this island.
I...
None?
I never would have brought you here if I knew.
You've always prided yourself on your ability
to make others do what you want, and look where it's got you.
Look where it's got us.
Cass, listen...
No.
I don't want to hear it, Ava.
You can't undo this.
Let's just get going.
I don't want to spend a second longer on this island
than I have to.
Hold on.
I think I see someone.
Who?
I don't know.
I don't know, but it could be Dad or Lindsey.
♪ Inaudible♪ OK.
Now take this.
Take it.
I'll take this.
♪ Inaudible♪, OK?
You got this.
Lindsey?
Lindsey.
Lindsey?
Lindsey.
Lindsey, it's me.
It's Ava.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Lindsey, where's dad?
What's wrong with her?
I don't think she's infected.
Her eyes are fine.
At least not with whatever Michael and Jacob had.
I think she's in shock.
We need to go.
Come on.
Lindsey.
Lindsey, we need to go now.
Lindsey, either you can stay here with that or come with us.
Come on.
Ava.
Cass, look.
Lindsey.
Is she OK?
No.
She hasn't said a word.
Got Tommy's research.
At least we got something out of this trip.
Lindsey, what's wrong?
What's up with her?
I don't know.
She's gone mad, Luke.
That's what's up with her.
Lindsey.
Ava.
No, I have to go after her.
We need to stick together.
I can't leave her, Luke.
How is this any different than Tommy?
This is my stepmom.
What I mean is, we all need to go together.
Isn't that right, Cass?
I'm not going back into those woods.
Take Cass back to the boat for me.
Cass.
Cass, I love you.
You know that, right?
Take care of her for me.
I'll meet you back at the boat.
Christ.
Fine.
I'll meet you back at the boat.
Sorry, Cass.
I didn't mean to put you on the spot like that.
If she wants to chase after that crazy woman, she's welcome to.
Lindsey?
Lindsey, what's wrong?
Ava.
Yeah.
Ava.
Yeah, Lindsey, it's me.
What's that?
I don't know.
But it's moving fast and against the wind.
Run!
Lindsey.
Lindsey!
My dad... I need to know.
We should be able to cut through these trees.
It'll take longer, but we'll be under cover the whole time.
I think it's Ed.
Edward?
Lindsey, talk to me.
I need to know, even the worst of it.
My dad... is he...
Yeah.
We set up camp, and everything was
fine for the first few days.
We were doing really good work, cataloging
and recording everything.
But then, whatever it was on this island...
it got him, just like it had the others.
Ed... he was different.
He changed.
He got angry.
He attacked me.
But it wasn't him.
He wasn't himself.
He didn't mean it.
I know.
What happened to your boat?
'Cause when we got here, it was completely destroyed.
Some of the men tried to flee.
They were going to leave us here.
But then, something in the sea...
it got them.
It was in the sea.
I don't know what it was, but it was big.
Your dad thought it was something semi-amphibious.
Our boat is moored on that same beach.
It's our only means of getting home.
Look, Ava, I know I haven't always been there for you.
After your mum died, I know I could never replace her.
I just wanted to be someone you could always
come to, someone who you knew really cared about you.
I tried to be someone you could look up to.
And I know it hasn't been easy with your dad
and I being away so much.
I know you really miss him.
I just didn't want you to think I was trying to steal him away
from you.
I never did think That Dad was always married to his job.
It was not your fault.
I know.
I just wanted you to understand it.
I really loved your dad.
And I love you, too, very, very much.
Lindsey, why are you saying this?
Pray for your dad.
Lindsey?
Edward?
Lindsey, I'm sorry.
Cassie, get the knife!
Cassie!
Cassie, help!
Cassie!
Ava!
Cassie?
Where's Luke?
He didn't make it.
Lindsey!
Luke?
Oh, my God.
Come here.
Hold on to me.
Cassie said...
Where is she?
She didn't make it.
Oh, you have got to be kidding me.
At least the boat still here.
God, ♪inaudible♪ everything.
Not bad everything.
I think I figured it out, you know...
this island.
You remember what Cassie was saying
about these prehistoric supercontinents that
all separated and split off into the sea.
I think that's how this place came to be.
I don't care how it came can be.
I just hope we never have to come here ever again.
Let's get off this island.
I can't leave.
What?
I'm sorry, Ava.
We... we can take you to a hospital.
We can get you care.
I can feel it, Ava.
I can feel it behind my eyes.
I can feel it changing me.
I can't leave this island.
You can.
Come on!
No!
Come on!
No!
