Suggested correction: Too much time has passed in the film for this to be a mistake. They are first shown tied up back to back in the afternoon when Sue watches them alone. When Mick returns, he invites Sue along for his "phone call." The next two scenes, which are at night time, are of Sue collecting berries and of the bats attacking the bad guys camp. Following this, Mick and Sue are shown around a camp fire and the two are tied up side to side.
