[mysterious music playing]
[man] Tonia, you still with us?
Tonia?
Wait.
Tonia's lost consciousness.
[Tre] She's out.
[woman 1 over radio] Copy that. Copy that.
[woman 2] Tonia? Tonia, can you hear me?
I said, can you hear me, Tonia?
[Tre] Man…
[woman 2] Patient responsive to pain stimulus.
Tonia?
Okay, close and open your eyes.
Good. Good. Stay with us. We're going to keep you warm.
Okay.
-[woman 3] Keep talking to her. -[woman 2] I'm here with you, okay?
We're gonna get you on that boat.
-[Tonia] All right. -[woman 2] We'll get you to a warm place.
[Tonia] I need to stay here with Tre.
[woman 2] I know you need to stay here with Tre.
We are going to transport you out. You need immediate care.
-[Tonia cries] -[woman 2] Leave that basket here.
I know it's hard. We gotta get you warm.
[Tonia] I don't wanna leave him.
-[woman 2] I know. -[Tonia] He's the only one left.
[woman 2] I know. We're going to get you care.
-One, two, three. -[melancholic music playing]
-Flying. -[woman 3] All right.
[woman 2] It's very slick here. Slow and easy.
[Tre] Tonia blacked out and went unconscious.
[woman 2] Tre, want to come over here?
We were no longer in a game. We were in a life-or-death situation.
I know she has a child my age.
She has people who are expecting her to come home.
So the only thing on my mind was,
we have to get her whatever help she needs.
-[woman 2] We got Tre here. -[Tre] You going for a ride now.
-[Tonia] Yeah. -[Tre] What's up?
-[Tonia] I'm sorry, Tre. -Stop saying sorry.
I'll tell you all this every day. Shit happens, all right? It's life.
-[engine starts] -Shit's always gonna happen.
Until the day you die, shit is going to happen.
Don't feel bad for this.
[Tonia] I'm really sorry this shit had to happen to you.
It's okay.
[man] We got to go.
I want you home with your kids and your parents, okay?
[man] Tre, you gotta get off.
We may not have won, but we got our point across.
-[Tonia] Yeah. -[Tre] Okay?
[Tonia] Yeah.
-[melancholic music continues] -[siren blaring]
[Tonia] This whole time, I believed that we would win.
[truck beeping]
-I don't know what happened. -[chatter over radio]
I know that when I woke up, I was strapped to a backboard,
and I wasn't in the game anymore.
-All right. -Go ahead.
I needed it.
I needed it for my family. I needed it for me.
I'm still shocked.
But I have, you know, a new family member for life.
And, you know, that's a win, 'cause you rarely get to meet amazing people.
I will forever be grateful for that.
I hope he will go back out and fight for his place on the game board
and give himself a chance.
I don't want to be the one that took that away from him.
[melancholic music continues]
[adventurous music playing]
[music fades]
[mysterious music playing]
[screeches]
[narrator] The three remaining teams have experienced
the coldest night in Alaska so far.
It got cold again last night. I was shivering most of the night.
[Drew] Woke up again, gathered firewood because we ran out again.
We keep thinking we have enough, and it is just flying through.
[Drake] You can still see my breath even inside the shelter.
-[Drew] Yeah. -[exhales deeply]
The most problematic situation
that my team deals with right now are the nights.
You know, we don't have sleeping bags, and last night was somewhere in the low 30s.
We're all up and down all night long, because we're cold and we're shivering.
[Drew] I never understood that saying, like, "Colder than a well digger's ass."
But your ass cheeks literally get super cold.
Yeah.
-[upbeat music playing] -[birds calling]
Hell, we gotta share a wool blanket one of these nights, you stingy bastards.
[Brendon chuckles]
-I'll cuddle with you, buddy. -[Joey] I know.
Well, bring it in.
[Brendon] I don't get cold very easy. I'm used to being in the snow.
But when it boils right down to it,
I'm sleeping on the rocks on the fire pit when that thing dies,
just to get warmth off of it.
We got to stockpile that firewood.
'Cause it's gonna get colder.
And it's going to stay cold. That's the thing.
So it's getting colder and colder and colder every night.
It's been hard, but I know I am going to survive because of Delta.
They welcomed me with open arms, and that really made a big difference for me.
A bottle of whiskey would be freaking just…
-[Joey] Oh my gosh, dude. -[Brendon] …the shit.
[chuckles] Wow.
[ethereal music playing]
[Tre] Watching a teammate and a close friend go unconscious…
Like, that brought a whole new level of fear that I've never experienced.
Tonia's gone.
And I know in her heart and in her mind, she would love to come back.
But she cannot come back.
I'm the last of the Mohicans. I'm, uh…
I'm the last at Alpha.
I have to find another team. I'm not really trusting Bravo.
But seeing that I can't get to Charlie or Delta before it's dark outside,
they're my only option to stay in the game.
Me jumping into a whole new group of people,
having to learn their personalities and feel them out…
I don't know.
Of course, anybody will accept you
if you bring in supplies and, you know, stuff that they can use.
Been good to me, little hut.
[tense, dramatic music playing]
[narrator] But first, Tre must shoot a flare in honor of his teammate, Tonia.
[Tre] I know I'm used to being a loner, but Tonia,
I mean, we're gonna be friends for life.
[Tina] Flare? Flare?
[Joey] Shut up, dude.
-Freakin' go! -[Tina] Flare!
[Joey] Let's freakin' go, baby!
[Eric] I think it came from Alpha.
[ethereal music playing]
Bravo said we had an alliance,
and I didn't see any friendship coming from Bravo whatsoever.
After Bayo set off his flare…
[Drake] Oh, there's a flare!
[Drew] Homeboy's gone, baby!
So long, thief!
[Tre] It definitely rubbed me the wrong way to hear Bravo jumping for all joy.
[dramatic music playing]
[gasps]
Alpha just shot a flare.
[Tre] And then, after Zack flared out,
Bravo did absolutely nothing.
It does suck that we made the alliance, and there's nothing.
I started contemplating.
You know, I know that I have to go over to Bravo,
but that's just not what I want to do.
I started with Alpha.
We're going to end with Alpha.
I mean, like, we all know.
Greed is a sin, and I'm just… [chuckles] …not that guy.
-I heard two. -I heard two flares.
[narrator] As Delta Team contemplates the origins of the two flares,
Bravo Team carries on with the tasks of the day…
[Drake] ♪ Hard workin' man Hard workin' man ♪
[narrator] …oblivious of the flares and the demise of their alliance team, Alpha.
[Drake] ♪ Oh, hell yeah! ♪
They're the loudest people on this game board, I swear. [chuckling]
All right.
Let's go find a good spot.
[Tre] Before I leave, I'm hiding the supplies from Bravo.
I mean, I really don't want them to have them.
They would literally get double of all supplies.
In my eyes, that's cheating.
[groans]
Make it interesting, eh?
You guys say you're strong.
Have fun.
Well, now you're going to have to show that you can make it with what you got.
You guys really didn't play as an alliance.
Even when somebody got hurt, you guys didn't come check it out.
So, you wanted to play the game…
If they miss it… it's their own fault.
Tonia told me that you only get one chance to show somebody what you're about.
So, whoever wins, I hope you did it the right way,
with, you know, integrity.
[wind blowing]
[mysterious music playing]
[bird calling]
[Joseph] That seems like a… I think that's a helicopter.
[helicopter humming]
That's a bird.
Oh, that's a helicopter for sure.
[Brendon] I'm gonna take a look.
-[Drew] They're long-lining shit in here. -[Bri] Really?
[Drew] Yeah. They got some big packages they're dropping off.
[adventurous music playing]
[narrator] For the first time in 18 days…
I hear a second one.
-[narrator] …the sound of a helicopter… -Look at the size of that container.
[narrator] …signals the arrival of a resource drop.
Oh, I'm so excited!
Whoo! Let's go!
[narrator] A crate is dropped at all four camp locations.
They're dropping across the way. A second one coming.
[Joey] Whoo!
[narrator] While the contents inside are valuable for survival,
the pallet and buoys also present a hidden opportunity.
And if the teams decide the risk is worth the reward,
they must brave the frigid water to retrieve it.
[Drew] Go! Go! Go!
Oh, the wind's blowing.
[Bri] It's starting to float.
[Drake] So the crate is in the water.
Oh, dude.
But none of us want to get in water that's 36 degrees.
[Bri] Oh no. It's floating out.
It's got to be pretty damn cold.
[Joseph] What the hell?
[Brendon] How the **** are we gonna get that?
That's our supply drop. We don't know what the hell is in it.
Hoping it's really good.
[Joseph] That right there? No.
Which one of you can swim, huh?
[Tina] Who's going in?
-[Brendon] Who's on it? -[Eric] You got the most body fat, bro.
Are you gonna go?
[Brendon] Well, that thing's going out farther. I'll tell you that. I'll go.
[Joey] All right, he's going.
I strip down to my skivvies. I'm not going to let it get away.
Oh my gosh.
[dramatic action music playing]
[Eric] Oh, man.
[Joey] Let's go, baby! Go!
It's cold. I'm not going to lie.
I'm starting to lose feeling in my fingers and my toes.
Give me that stick.
[people] Oh!
[Emily] Damn, not long enough.
[Drew] Shit.
[Joey] Whoo!
[Brendon] My lungs start spasming.
You know… [gasps]
Uncontrollably.
[Joey] Oh my God.
-[Eric] Get up there now. -[Joey] Beast mode, man.
Brendon, he had zero hesitation to jump into that water for us.
Let me give you a hug, big man.
[dramatic music playing]
Get up there and get warm, man.
[Drew] You got it.
-Yes, sir, Drake. -My boot is full of water.
Come on, Sammy.
We got a net too?
[Joseph] Come on. Look at your spot. It's nice and warm for you.
Oh, that fire is good.
Whoo!
[Joseph] My boy.
My concern was this could be a potential hypothermic situation.
-[Bri] I'm excited. -[Drew] I'm excited.
I'm so excited right now. My heart is pounding.
[Sammy] Oh, man, I hope it's food.
Here we go.
All right. Cheesecake.
-[Joey] What is it? -[Eric] I don't know. Two bags.
What's in there, Sammy?
-Looks like a, uh… sleeping bag. -Sleeping bag!
One sleeping bag.
[Eric] Two sleeping bags.
[Bri] What a pleasant surprise.
[narrator] As the temperatures dropped below freezing,
each team has been supplied with two sleeping bags…
[Drew] These dry bags are going to be so nice too.
[narrator] …and various components that they may use to their advantage
and potentially increase their odds of winning the game.
[Drew] Buoys, huh?
[Drew] We should run the rope through all the buoys.
-[Bri] Okay. -[Drake] And just drag them back.
[Drew] Look at all these buoys. This is insane.
[Bri] I know.
So there's the obvious gifts here, the sleeping bags and the dry bags,
but I'm also really trying to look at what else is there.
Is there a secret code that we need to crack?
This is a game.
I don't think we're just going to be given the answers each time.
I think we're going to need to work to figure it out.
These are some nice ones, you guys.
This pallet has all these buoys and nets attached.
-[Bri] That's a good net. -[contemplative music playing]
This thing very obviously floats with kind of a lot of stuff on it.
[Bri] I think this would be a great start to a raft, to be honest.
[Emily] Absolutely.
And then it hits me. This is a boat.
-[Sammy] It floated so well. -[Bri] Yeah, it did.
-I like the idea of a boat. -Yeah.
[Emily] Not exactly sure what to do with it right now,
but I do think it's going to open up more opportunity for us.
So they gave us two sleeping bags.
I wonder if this was supposed to be Alpha's.
Mm, they gave us two blankets.
We did only get two for five people.
I want to go to Alpha and see if they got the same drop.
-[Emily] What a beautiful day. -[Bri] Yeah.
[lively music playing]
[Drew] We're so blessed to be here.
[Sammy] Yeah, this is crazy.
[Drew] People would kill to be doing this right now.
[narrator] Oblivious to the final two flares shot by Alpha Team the day before…
-[Drake] Look at these moose tracks. -[Sammy] Wow.
[narrator] …the boys of Bravo make the 2.5-kilometer trek
to check in on their allies.
-[Sammy] Big old clam. -[Drake] Yeah.
[narrator] The tide from this morning has receded,
leaving behind a crate in front of Alpha's territory.
[Drake] We think Alpha's down to two players.
So the fact that we only received two sleeping bags
kind of put it in my head, maybe the resource drops got mixed up.
So we are going over to Alpha today
and seeing what was in their resource drop,
and see how they're doing.
[Drew] What the hell?
[Drake] Looks like all of Alpha's stuff from our resource drop
is still out on the beach.
[Drew] That's weird.
I don't see any smoke.
What the hell is going on?
[Drew] Yo.
[Drake] Here's their camp right in here.
-[Sammy] That hasn't been touched. -[Drew] Where's the shelter?
[Drake] It was right here.
-[Sammy] This was their shelter? -[Drake] Yeah, it was.
No way, bro. Where's the tarps at?
Fully empty, dude.
Dude, this thing is small, man. They must have been miserable.
[Drew] We walk into where their shelter is, and things are tore apart,
and nobody's there.
But then all of a sudden it hit me, and I was like, "Oh shit."
They're gone, dude.
[Drake] They flared, bro, and we didn't know it.
-[Drew] They left. -[Drake] Alpha's done.
[Drew] We're the last two teams on the game board. Let's go, boys!
-Hey! -[Drew] Let's go!
Look at us, shit!
-Oh, boy! -Yes! Let's go!
-Let's go! -[all cheering]
[Drake] Let's go, baby!
Only two teams left.
[all hooting]
Since day one, I've said Bravo, we're destined to win this.
We have the strongest team.
This is crazy, dude.
I think odds are in our favor big time now.
[Drew] Big time, I'm telling you.
Just seeing it all come together like this is just like a…
a beautiful work of art from God.
Yo, there's a knife right there.
Their knife? They left their knife?
-[Drew] They wrote us a note. -What?
In the wood.
-You can read it from this way. -Yeah.
"Bravo, since there wasn't much of…"
-"So much of an alliance…" -"An alliance…"
…"now you have…"
"You have to find the supplies I left."
They hid all the supplies.
Oh, snap.
"Since there wasn't much of an alliance"?
-What does he mean by that? -[Sammy] I thought there was.
I wonder if they were upset that we didn't come over here and check on them sooner.
Reading this note was a little disheartening,
because there was an alliance between Bravo and Alpha.
We were really bummed about it.
I was super upset myself.
All right, well, I guess let's split up and find it.
Huh.
[Drew] What the hell, dude?
If we can find the supplies, it's like the holy grail.
I mean, we get another hatchet, another knife.
We get two more tarps, another bow.
How long have they been gone?
Just keep your eyes peeled.
And so we're looking. We are looking hard for this stuff.
Look for something that looks a little out of the ordinary.
-Here, supplies, supplies, supplies. -[tense music playing]
But this sucks, because we don't have the calories to waste doing that.
-Y'all find anything? -[Sammy] No.
Where would you put it, Tre?
I don't know how much we need to keep looking.
[Sammy] You got gloves on. Stick your hands in there.
[Drew] I don't see anything in there, bro.
[Sammy] See if you just feel a handle. Hatchet handle?
[Drake] At some point, we should just call it and go back to camp.
[Drew] Nothing in there.
Okay, okay.
If I was hiding a whole bunch of supplies in the woods,
where would I put it?
I would put it somewhere up high.
Oh, this would have made a really nice shelter.
[Drake] Found it!
Let's go!
-Yo! -[Drew hoots]
-Oh, they hid this thing pretty damn good. -[dramatic music playing]
-High five, brother. -Bro.
-[Drew] There it is, tucked behind a hole. -This is so sick.
Everything, it's all nicely folded and put into a bag.
-The bow and arrows. -Hopefully the hatchet's in the bottom.
Bri is gonna freak out when she finds out.
After we made our alliance, not to hear from them was a little weird.
Major, major moment in our game, man.
[Drew] And then apparently we were supposed to visit them more.
[hooting]
But I think it worked out like it should have.
I'm so thankful right now.
Absolutely insane.
Let's see if they got the same supplies in their care package as we did.
Let's see what's inside.
-[Drew] Same stuff, two sleeping bags. -[Drake] Same stuff.
Let's throw all this stuff on our backs.
We're not sure who is left at Delta
or how they're doing over there, how long they're trying to stay out here.
-[Sammy] I think it'll be fun. -[Drew] We're good here.
But now that we acquired all of Alpha's items…
We have extra sleeping bags, we have extra tarps for our shelter,
extra utensils, knives, uh, hatchets.
So I believe Bravo's gonna be
the million-dollar team at the end of this game.
What could y'all do with 200K, y'all?
[Drew] Change my life.
-[Sammy] It'd change my whole life. -[Drew] Change my life.
We're gonna do whatever's necessary and do everything that's possible
to make sure that we win.
[dramatic music continues]
[Eric] I still feel weird about not jumping in the water. I feel so bad.
I definitely chickened out.
Are you feeling a little warmer, or is it still kind of--
-No, I'm still a little bit chilled. -[Joey] Wow.
It's kinda weird. I fell asleep and then I woke up.
You gotta keep moving for an hour or so after that.
Oh, no.
Brendon, a.k.a. Mountain Man…
[sighs] Dude, that guy,
he's gone from hero to legend, man.
But I've never seen him like this before.
-Where like, is hypothermia setting in? -[solemn music playing]
[narrator] Brendon is experiencing
a hypothermia symptom known as the afterdrop.
This is when core body temperatures drop below functioning levels
well after exiting the water.
After being in the water, I did catch a slight chill.
I felt it going up my spine.
So now I'm trying to get under control.
Yeah, I'm not shivering or nothing, I'm just not comfortable.
-Yeah. -Well, I'm not going anywhere.
I am worried about Brendon.
He's been a very important asset to our team.
To see that water take him out would be heartbreaking for all of us.
This is the first time I've got to cuddle up in a blanket.
[Eric] Look at that, he's smiling.
[Brendon] The shit you gotta go through to get a blanket around here. [chuckling]
[ethereal music playing]
[Sammy] Hello!
Wait, Drake is carrying something.
Hello?
[Sammy] Alpha is no more.
Alpha is no more?
Gone. There was nobody there. Their supply drop was there.
Wait, oh my God.
Dude, what?
Two teams left.
[Bri] Knowing we're down to two teams, and I'm on one of the final teams
is such an amazing feeling.
I'm… I don't even know what to say.
We searched the woods, found all their stuff.
-[Drew] There's another tarp, baby. -[Emily] That's awesome.
[sighs]
I'm in shock, genuinely.
[Drake] Oh my goodness, y'all.
[Drew] You got the hatchet?
We have the yellow hatchet.
[contemplative music playing]
[Bri] We're down to two teams.
[Drew] What does that mean though? How long are we gonna be here now?
We gotta just wait it out.
See when that opportunity presents itself.
[Emily] It is a little scary to know that Delta is a team
that we don't know much about.
I am trying to figure out the best way to get us a leg up,
because you cannot predict how things are gonna go.
[Drake] We gotta get caloried up.
-We need food. -And sleep.
-[Drew] And water.
[grunts]
[Joseph] If you don't want a sleeping bag, I'll take it.
[Brendon] No, you take it.
-[Joseph] You sure? -[Brendon] Yeah.
-[Joseph] I'd rather you sleep with it. -Why?
'Cause you got wet. You had the shivers, bruh.
I'm good. I'm dry now.
[Joseph] I had that before, crossing bayous.
That shit… It will creep up on you in the middle of the night.
[Joey] Yeah, man, the cold.
I'll be good.
I got a blanket. First time out here.
[Drew] Okay. Nightly nightcap.
-Now it's just Bravo and Delta. -[gentle guitar music playing]
Are we gonna be here for a lot longer? Are they gonna wrap the game up quick?
We don't know.
But we all got sleeping bags, and we're very happy about it.
-Yeah, guys? -[Bri] Yep.
-[Sammy] Yes, sir. -[Drake] Whoo!
And we out.
-[ethereal music playing] -[wind howling]
I would kill for a shovel right now.
[Eric] This Alaskan environment can be quite brutal.
I mean, we're weeks into this, and it's getting colder out.
There's nice one.
We're continuing to bring some food in, but not enough to sustain us.
-So the struggle is real. -[contemplative music playing]
There's a little guy.
Little tiny guy.
And everybody else wants to eat once a day, I'm not gonna be that guy.
I'm gonna do a little bit of extra foraging for myself.
Ah, yeah!
Big dog.
Whoo-wee!
[chuckles]
Every day is work out here.
I can feel it in my body. I can feel it in my bones.
I'm 50 years old, a lot older than these guys,
and sometimes I get a little burnt out or just get famished.
[contemplative music stops]
[squeaking]
[contemplative music playing]
Mm.
Whoof.
That is delicious.
[Tina] This morning, Eric went foraging
and made himself a little breakfast for the morning.
But just for himself.
[Eric chuckles]
That was pretty good.
You know, every other meal we've had,
we've just dumped it all in the same pot, and then it was a free-for-all.
But we all have to be fair with what we're eating.
[Eric belches]
[Eric] Excuse me.
Eric is really not being a team player.
It's all a group effort.
We're dividing the chores, because not everybody can be on food duty.
Yesterday, I put myself at risk when I jumped in the drink,
but I did it for the team.
So don't take food out of my mouth or my team's mouth to feed yourself
'cause you're hungry, 'cause we're all hungry.
-You guys seem awful quiet today. -[contemplative music fades]
[Brendon] To me, I don't give two shits when people eat,
as long as the food is divvied up proportional.
[contemplative music playing]
Would you like me to not eat and continue the way I feel?
It ain't, "This is for me, and you bring some in, this is for you."
It's all for the team.
I feel bad now for eating. I feel bad now. So I'm not gonna eat.
[Joseph] If you were gonna do it anyway, no use feeling bad.
-[Eric] Not gonna… I'm good. -Everybody needs to get their fair share.
[Eric] I'm over it.
[contemplative music fades]
[gentle, upbeat music playing]
[Sammy] Ooh.
Okay. It's something.
It was meant for a squirrel.
It squished it.
[Drake] Sammy got another mouse in his deadfall.
-[chuckles] -Little mouse here.
[Bri] He got what?
Sammy got a mouse in his deadfall trap.
-[Bri] Oh, nice. -[chuckles]
You want some breakfast, Emily?
I'm gonna let you have that one, Sammy.
Here you go, Bri. Here's some breakfast.
[Bri] Mmm, yum.
[Sammy] This is real meat.
You know, clams and crabs are good…
[chuckles]
-…but this is red meat, you know? -[Emily] Yeah.
It really packs a punch with protein and caloric intake.
I can give you…
-I'm gonna let you go. -…one of the meaty legs.
I don't want to eat it.
If you're taking that trek, you need the energy.
That's okay. That's why I ate a lot of clams last night.
All I can think about is drinking some water, which I have to boil,
and getting the raft to that island.
There is an island very close to where we are.
[intriguing music playing]
I want to go check it out.
What kind of plants might be there to harvest?
And what kind of animals might be there that we could hunt?
-Let's put it here to our right, Drew. -Okay.
If we can get the raft built
and to that island to scout it out before anybody else does,
we have to do it.
I'm thinking building a raft is a huge strategic advantage
that Delta hopefully haven't realized yet.
I really want to get out there, as soon as possible.
[narrator] The island is nearly 500 meters across the bay,
and Emily will mostly be rowing against the current.
-Thank you for hopping on this. -[Drew] This ain't gonna take no time.
You honestly might be able to just go sit on it with what's on it right now.
[Emily] Mm, I would like some more.
We can even pull it back in again.
-Should we tie it to that corner? -Just tie it to the corner.
I don't want to. I want it to be underneath the raft.
I feel myself getting a little bit bossy.
I absolutely can have perfectionistic tendencies,
but in this circumstance, my well-being depends on it.
Even if we stuff more in here…
Those will be hard. They won't fit in between.
I've got those four bumpers shoved under there already.
Emily's all of a sudden like, "I'm gonna get on this raft and go to the island."
And we're like, "Okay."
We make a lot of floating docks at home, like, on the river.
But I know I'd be best off on the raft. I spend a lot of time on the water.
I've just got more experience on the water than Emily does.
I would tie it to the rope itself.
I'm gonna walk away. I'm gonna let y'all do it.
God, that pisses me off.
She's like, "I'm gonna go there, do this."
And you know what? You are the go-to for the raft, lady.
There's definitely a current.
-[Bri] Yeah. -For sure.
-You can see it. -[contemplative music playing]
-Is the tide going out? -It is.
[Bri] We could wait until the tide's coming in.
-No. -I would prefer to go.
The tide is very strong, so I don't think it should be understated
that it's not just like a quick little paddle over to the island.
It is a massive feat, especially when the tide is coming in.
One, two, three, lift!
I'm not really feeling 100% supported from the team.
[Drake] We gotta get it out in the water.
I'm feeling a little bit dismissed.
But I do believe in this mission.
[Drake] Sit down.
[narrator] Emily is casting off at 1:20 p.m.
That leaves her with under four hours to make the round-trip journey…
-Ready? -Yeah.
…before nightfall.
Three, two, one, lift off!
[upbeat music playing]
Paddle, paddle.
Such a small paddle.
All right, I'm gonna go watch from higher ground.
It's so slow!
You think anything's over there?
[Drake] I don't know. It'd be super cool if there was.
Already drifted too.
Can you guys tell if I'm moving at all or not?
Yeah, you're moving for sure!
[Emily] I want to bring back the bacon, you know, for the team.
Make them proud.
I'm trying to remain optimistic
and make it happen for the benefit of the group.
[Drake] Once that current hits you, you're gonna have to paddle your butt off!
Paddle, paddle, paddle!
[narrator] Nine hundred meters north of the island, near Delta Base Camp,
professional trapper Brendon has discovered signs
of an unusual kind of prey.
[Brendon] I'm out here trying to find a porcupine.
I've seen a bit of sign here and there of him.
Well, right here.
Found, uh, what I believe to be a den.
Maybe a hole he's using, anyway.
And then right through here, there's a bunch of old scat.
He's probably denning in here, coming out, going to the bathroom.
I wish there was a fresh pile with it too.
Porcupine don't eat meat.
They eat bark on trees.
[intriguing music playing]
I tell myself the energy is getting a little lower every day,
just lack of nutrition.
But if we got a porcupine,
we'd probably get ten pounds of good meat with a lot of fat.
It'd be huge. It'd just be, uh…
More food in our belly is gonna be better for the morale.
So, you know, I feel the pressure now to get this porcupine caught.
Whoa.
Of course, they're up in trees a lot too.
[birds chirping]
[exhales deeply]
Here's some fresher poop.
Here's another hole.
[whispering] Oh, no way.
-There he is. -[adventurous music playing]
Oh, don't go up.
Sorry, my friend.
He's coming down.
Sorry, my friend.
[upbeat music playing]
[Brendon hoots]
Bravo!
We're eating porcupine tonight!
Tail back far enough where he ain't gonna jab me in my ass.
I can't wait to take this porcupine back to the team, you know,
'cause they're hungry.
Hopefully it will boost their morale too.
[whistling]
[bird screeches]
I could tell I'm drifting.
I can see the current too.
As I'm approaching the island, I'm telling myself,
"Come on, we got this."
"Just do what it takes."
[groaning]
The water's certainly cold,
but the faster I can get there, the faster I can get back.
Land ho!
It is up to me.
Get your exploring done!
That way you can come back when it's still low tide!
[narrator] Emily has an hour and 40 minutes of daylight to explore the island
and voyage back to camp.
[Emily] This could all be for nothing. I don't know, but… trying.
[contemplative music playing]
When I'm out in nature by myself,
I find a lot of peace and perspective.
I breathe and listen and look.
I'm thinking about the discrepancy between who I am
versus a lot of these guys on my team.
I don't know if Emily's gonna make it back before dark.
[Drake] She better get back here. She has all three dry bags.
-[Drew] She took all three of them? -[Drake] Mm-hm.
[dramatic music playing]
[Emily] It does tend to rub me the wrong way, you know,
if they're completely closed to listening to other people.
[Drake] Sooie!
[Drew] Sooie!
[Emily] I don't know if I've ever been in a more solitary situation
that depended on my perseverance.
Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and see what works.
Oh my God, a crab apple tree.
Yes.
I did know that crab apples would be out here. Oh.
Oh! Yeah.
Whoo!
Looking at the climate, I knew there would be crab apple trees,
but our side of the shore is so shaded.
I'm proud that it was my idea.
[chuckles]
That was pretty cool. [chuckles]
Getting the chance to get a task done by myself,
I've been reminded of, kind of, who I am at my core.
It tastes like a Granny Smith, kind of,
but because I haven't had any food
or water today, it really hits the spot.
[dramatic music ends]
What is that?
Well, well, well.
[in German accent] What do we have here?
[contemplative music playing]
Okay. And this is a full set. Holy crap.
Oh my gosh. I'm excited.
Even though I don't know exactly what these are. [chuckles]
Some kind of trap.
Not exactly sure what kind of creatures we're going to catch with it,
but maybe somebody on my team does.
So it's definitely coming home with me.
It is going to be a bitch getting back.
[tense music playing]
I'd really hoped to get back before sunset.
-[Drake] Emily's still on the island. -[Bri] I know.
She needs to start heading back soon.
She's walking towards the raft.
Goddamn.
I am so tired.
Okay. Almost there.
Whoo! Whoo.
-[shuddering] -[tense music fades]
[Drake] You good?
Good.
You find anything?
I think these are shrimp pots.
Could be wrong, though.
-Sweet. -Nice.
[tense music resumes]
[Emily] The tide is changing.
I can see, I can feel the wind in my face.
So I'm a little bit nervous about
the weather changing, as it does out here, rapidly.
[Sammy] Oh, she's paddling. She's taking off.
-[Bri] Oh, good. -[Drew] Dude, it's a long way.
I think I'm going nowhere.
She's drifting so far, dude.
-[groans] -Oh, no. She's got to do this.
[groans]
[Drew] Dude, man.
-[Emily] Oh my God. -[music fades]
[Brendon] Looks like meat's back on the table, boys.
-[Tina] Oh my God! -[upbeat music playing]
-[Joseph] What do you got? -You got him. Holy shit!
Got him.
-[Joseph] My boy. -[Joey] In Mountain Man style.
-Dude. -Here, hold on.
-[chuckles] -[Joseph] Bruh, how?
-He's Mountain Man. Shut up. [chuckles] -Oh my goodness.
My boy, man. Mountain Man. He came to my rescue.
This dude went out and shot a porcupine.
Trying to steal my glory?
No, I'm just tying him back up. I was going to untie him here.
Don't cut the rope.
[Eric] I won't cut the rope.
Tensions were high this morning,
so this porcupine is definitely a game changer.
I'll take him down by the water for you?
You can, yeah. We'll go clean him down there.
[Brendon] I'm pretty proud of myself.
I got food for everybody. A significant good meal.
-You just pluck them like that. -Yeah.
And you gather them up.
Just keep pulling them. And you've got to keep them all in line.
That's how you pluck a porcupine.
[Brendon] And I know Eric, this morning, took food that goes towards everybody.
But that ain't what's going to happen. You know, that's for everybody.
Eric included.
[Tina] I've never had porcupine before, but I'm about to.
-[Brendon] We're fixing to. -[Joseph] Did you salt them ribs?
-[Eric] Uh-huh. -[Brendon] Whoo-wee!
Look. Look at that fat.
How's everybody feeling?
-Feeling great. -Fantastic.
[Brendon] Slow boil this down into a hunter's stew.
We've got some legs, liver, heart in there.
-[Eric] I want that heart. -[Brendon] You got it. That's yours.
[Eric] They were frustrated because I wanted to eat more this morning.
I understand.
I know that I'm an asshole sometimes.
And, you know, I definitely need to do better.
-That's the biggest rat we've ate so far. -[Eric] I ain't complaining.
[Eric] And Brendon makes me want to just continue and, like,
just be grateful and thankful for who I've got on my team.
Who's got liver?
Porcupine liver.
[Eric] Because sometimes the way that I treat them isn't nice.
I feel like a pack of wolves, man.
[Brendon] I wonder what Bravo Team's eating.
Each other's tears.
-[Eric chuckles] -[liquid bubbling]
-Not this. -[Brendon] I wish 'em the best.
[Joseph] I wish 'em a safe trip home to enjoy their families.
[Eric chuckles]
-[upbeat music fades] -[wind howling]
[Drew] Come on, Emily. You gotta get back before dark, girlfriend.
[tense music playing]
Damn it!
That thing came off.
Son of a bitch.
[Drake shouting] You good, Em?
This sucks.
Our treasure was sinking.
So, trying to reposition.
[chuckles] Great.
Towing back these traps is slowing me down,
but this has to be done for myself, for my team.
Damn.
Dude, she's not going in the right direction at all.
Like, the tide's taking her out.
[narrator] It's 5:06 p.m.
And with the tide nearing its highest point,
not only does it create a further distance to Bravo's shoreline,
it also changes the direction of the currents,
moving anything in its path out of the bay
and towards the vast Pacific Ocean.
She's drifting so far, dude. She went from going there to here.
I'm pushing back the panic.
I don't want to tell myself this is hopeless.
I don't see her paddling.
It's getting darker, and we're all starting to get worried.
I can't imagine what's going through Emily's mind.
I don't know if she has the strength to get back.
We might not get those crab pots.
Damn.
Emily wanting to go to the island definitely was a buzzkill for me.
If I was on the boat, I'd play the tide right
and start paddling, paddling, and paddling.
It's a no-brainer. But we might have nothing to show for it.
She's got to be so tired.
[Drew] I've got to warm my toes up. They're hurting so bad.
Yeah, you're good. Bri's got the fire going.
[Drew] Okay.
[mysterious music playing]
-[Drew] Whoa. -[Bri] What?
[Drew] Emily's getting washed out by the tide so bad.
-[Bri] What? -[Drew] I'm being dead-ass serious.
It's not good.
I think she's so tired now too, like…
[Bri] I know she's just getting so frustrated.
Damn. I wonder, if she's off the game board, how we get our stuff back.
We don't?
[bleep]. Oh, [bleep]. She has all the dry bags and the [bleep] big bag.
[Bri] Mm-hm.
-Mind watching this? I'm going out there. -[Drew] Yeah, I got it.
Goddamn it.
[narrator] The current has pushed Emily 900 meters east of her camp.
And the current is so strong
that rowing against it has proven to be a losing battle.
[Drake] I'm really hoping she can make it, dude.
[Bri] It is such a helpless feeling to see your teammate on a raft
in the middle of the water, knowing that you can't help them.
-[Bri] Drew? -[Drew] Yeah?
Can you bring down her down jacket?
[Drew] Guys, I'm not gonna walk in all that mud!
It is really strange that some of my teammates didn't really care.
There's a lack of urgency, but I don't think time is on our side here.
I'll just give her my jacket whenever she gets here.
[Drake] I'll give her mine too. It doesn't matter.
[Bri] I do know that Emily is very tough and that she's so capable.
But she's scared and she's cold.
And for anybody to get pulled out by the tide that far, like…
There's a point of no return.
[Drake] Come on, Em! You got it!
Thank you, guys.
-[bleep] sucks! -[tense music playing]
[Emily] So the panic…
Damn it!
…it starts to feel really real.
My body is just so sore.
I cannot fight this current,
and I'm getting swept out to sea.
-[Drake] Let's go, Em! -It's so hopeless.
[Emily] I know how hypothermia works. I know how quickly it can set in.
This is a life-threatening situation.
I need to ditch the raft,
I need to, like, fill this with air,
and hold on and [bleep] swim.
'Cause I'm gonna [bleep] get stuck.
I am already stuck out here.
I don't know what to do.
You got this, Em!
[Drake] She's got to get here, dude.
[Sammy] She's got no strength in her.
[whispering] Oh my God.
I'm terrified.
I am so scared. I really don't want to get in the water.
[Drake] Come on, Emily! You got it!
[Sammy] She's got this. Just needs to crank.
-This sucks. This really sucks. -[tense music continues]
Bro, she is so drained.
[Bri] She might be flaring.
[Emily] I really don't want to do this.
I'm already shivering.
I'm so scared. I'm so scared.
I can't quit like this.
[tense music fades]
