They come upon an abandoned cabin, so they break in and stay for the night. As night falls, a torrential rainstorm forces them to find shelter. Upon entering the forest, however, the group encounters strange phenomena, including a gutted elk hanging from several branches and strange symbols carved in the trees. Hutch suggests they cut through the forest rather than use the longer marked trail in the hopes of sparing Dom further suffering. Six months later, the remaining four embark on a hiking trip along the Kungsleden in northern Sweden in Rob's memory. Torn with indecision over how to intervene, Luke continues to hide, and the thieves kill Rob for not giving them his wedding ring. Luke hides while the thieves harass Rob for his valuables. Afterward, Luke and Rob leave to purchase alcohol, but interrupt a robbery in progress. Rob suggests hiking in Sweden, but gets rebuffed. Five friends-Phil, Dom, Hutch, Luke, and Rob-meet at a pub and discuss plans for a group holiday.
