He is saved. They make good time, but not quite good enough for Randal. Paige likes to enjoy the scenery a little too much. Randal gets upset when Paige stops at a river to enjoy the view. One thing... a lot of things lead to Randal with his luggage in the river struggling for his life. In a failed rescue attempt Page goes into the water also and both are swept down river.
