Madeline, Richard, Vicky
Video
In a flashback scene to the morning after the party in the native village, Madeline wakes up with a hangover. (Focus on singed hair.) She finds Richard next to her, and wonders out loud whether they slept together. Richard assures her this isn't the case, he just slept next to her to protect her. Madeline is weirded out by this. Then she notices Vicky next to Richard and wakes her up. Vicky thinks she's in a (bad) hotel, while Madeline wonders out loud whether Vicky had sex with Richard? Vicky denies this and Madeline trusts her in this. (If Richard pays attention to the dialogue he can pick up that the girls decided to "give" him to Madeline.)

Video
Audio
(Throughout the scene, Carlos and Madeline translate.) The camp boss wants to separate the women from the group. Jennifer tries to convince him that it's a misunderstanding and that the group is harmless.
Jennifer: "This is all just a misunderstanding, there's no need for all of this. We recently crashed in the jungle, haven't you seen this on the news?" Boss: "What news? I'm in the middle of the jungle, what do I care about the news?"
The boss laughs at this, after which Richard attacks a guard.

Act II, scene i
Jennifer, boss
Video
Audio
Jennifer desperately tries to convince the boss that she (and by extension the rest of the group) is useful for him.
Jennifer: "I can help you.I'm defending one of your colleagues. What do you think will happen when he finds out you delayed or took away his one chance at acquittal? Help me get back to the civilised world and I'll put in a good word for you."
She's successful in this endeavour. She recounts details and particulars that can only be known by a confidante of the crime lord. The boss (criminal? drug lord?) is swayed by her arguments.
Boss: "You seem to know your stuff, and seem to be who you claim to be."
Act II, scene ii
Carlos, Madeline, Richard, Isabel
Video
Jennifer's actions trigger memories for the gentle Carlos. (Flashback.) His nephew was killed in drugs-related violence. The details Jennifer mentioned make him realise it's this camp's boss responsibility. The others try to calm Carlos down, that it's just a strategy from Jennifer to get us away and that she has no intention of really helping.

He tells her that he's not a bad person but that he has little choice, he has to cooperate with the boss because of his family.

Isabel, Carlos

Later on they encounter Madeline, who has wrapped Ricardo around her finger.
