-[birds singing] -[tense music rises slowly]

[Brett] Bravo got their fire going. We're gonna be number two.

-[Braxton] Ooh. -[Wes] Right over top.

[Braxton] That's the oomph we need, though.

-[Wes] This gonna be the one? -It's gonna be the one. I can feel it.

-Oh, it's on-- -[Wes] Hit it!

-[Brett] Shit! -Went right through it.

I'm impressed with their bow that they made.

I'm impressed that it's going that far.

[Wes] Team Bravo has hit the target, and it's down between us and Team Alpha.

We're the only team on the board with a makeshift bow,

but I'm still very confident because Alpha still does not have a fire going.

[Nikki] This is kind of dead. Get a ferro rod. Start on a new spark.

Where the [bleep] is the ferro rod?

[Wes] It's exciting knowing we were gonna be able to get rid of a team.

I think everybody's thinking about that money.

All we have to do is hit this target, and we'll be the next team in,

and we can eliminate Team Alpha.

[arrow whizzing]

-[Wes] Ooh. -You're right there.

It's… Look at me. Don't look at them.

Look at me. Sorry. Just… this is where we're at, okay?

-Guys, what's going on? -Stop stressing. You're fine.

Leiya says that it's her thing,

and I'm… I'm really excited to give her a moment to shine

after not being able to really do anything on Charlie,

but Leiya is panicking.

Dear Heavenly Father, please be with us.

[tearfully] We have worked so hard for this fire.

[Nikki] Sweetie, shush.

You're crying about whether or not you can do something

that you said you've been doing and are good at?

Oh my God! What are you doing? My confidence in her plummeted.

[exhales]

[Braxton] Oh, that's it.

-Oh my God. -[Brett] Oh shit.

[Leiya panting] No.

[Nikki] There we go. Yep.

[flame whooshes]

-Okay, it caught. It caught. -[Nikki] Let's go.

-[Leiya] Yes, yeah. -Blow.

[Leiya] I am the last one right now to get my team fire.

Knowing what you're capable of and not able to perform…

[Nikki] Good, good, good.

…is one of the most frustrating places to be.

-Can you ignite me an arrow yet? -[Nikki] Yep.

Look out. You stay with the fire. Just make sure it's good.

-Oh, God damn. -[splash]

-All right, another one, Nikki. -Yep.

You got it, unc.

[cracking]

-Oh shit. -What, wait. What cracked?

I hear that thing… crack!

I said… [groans]

My heart sank to my ass.

Here, let me see the bow right quick. Let me see the bow.

-Ain't got time for all that. -We gotta. If it breaks, we're [bleeped].

-Uh-oh. -It's breaking.

I was trying to do my best.

I was tying her up where she was cracking, trying to hold her integrity.

-Wrap it around a bunch of times. -They're tying it together again.

[Brett] The chances of me quitting is about the same chances

of a snowball forming in hell.

There's nothing that would make me quit.

-We're gonna give it what we got. -[Brett] Leave it all on the table.

I really, really need the money.

This money is a head start for my life.

Come on.

-[exhales] -[Braxton] Oh, that's it.

-Ooh! -[Wes] Damn!

-That just clipped. -He's getting even closer.

With a cracked makeshift bow.

[arrow whizzing]

[Brett] Closer and closer, unc.

It's only a matter of time before one of us gets the target.

Are you shitting me?

I'm extremely confident that I can hit this flag,

but I've never shot a flaming arrow before.

-[splashing] -Oh God.

[Brett] You got this.

[gasps]

-[Braxton] Close. -Charlie is still firing.

-[tense music playing] -And I start to panic a little bit.

You bitch.

Because I'm like, "This is not how we're supposed to go out."

You got it, right there.

[Leiya] Maddy, you got this.

[music halts]

Come on. You got this, unc.

-[Leiya] Maddy! -[Nikki] Whoo!

-She got it. -There we go. She got it.

-Yes! -[Leiya] Oh my God.

-[Maddy] Let's go! -[Brett] Damn.

-Oh my God! Ahh! -[triumphant music playing]

[Nikki] [bleeping] did it. Guys, Charlie's out.

[laughs] That's the best part, honestly.

[Brett] Bitch, get the [bleep] out of here.

-[Maddy] Good job. -[Nikki] Come here.

[all laughing]

The relief that came over my body when I saw that flag go up in flames…

-I'm like, "Okay, we're safe." -[music settles]

You know, Bravo got a fire super quick.

-Pharaoh's good with the ferro rod. -[Leiya] That pissed me off, though.

-[Nikki] Yeah. -[Leiya] Whew!

Going through that challenge with Leiya

really made me realize how much she cracks under pressure,

and that was terrifying because I feel like

that was the first time that I had really seen Alpha

possibly going home.

I'm kind of worried for how we're gonna work together

as a team moving forward.

[gasps] We can avoid Charlie.

[Nikki and Maddy] Hey, y'all.

-It's just us two now? -Yeah.

It all comes down to us against Alpha in this competition.

-One more. We're in this, huh? -[Nikki] Give a think about those shoes.

Now we know that one of us is going home as the winners of Outlast.

-[Maddy] We did it! -Charlie's literally out.

-[Nikki] Good job, guys. -[Maddy] Okay.

[Brett] [bleep] that mother[bleeper].

She's so proud she got that fire started. Did you see how long it took them?

[Braxton] Couldn't even start a fire with a ferro rod, bro.

We gave it everything we had.

And to go out like this feels like a hit in the gut.

Hey, and we did better at surviving than all of them.

Yeah. We ain't walking with our heads held down.

-Nothing to be ashamed of. -Walking with that bitch held high.

We gave her hell.

This whole entire experience,

you're forced to do some raggedy-ass shit to win.

And all three of them girls, they're raggedy.

Let's get out of here. Hey, let's come on, man.

Not gonna lie, I hope Bravo wins this bitch.

-Instead of Leiya and her friends. -[Braxton] Yeah, me too.

So I kind of low-key hope that

they all catch malaria and leave this bitch.

[somber music playing]

[Braxton] Dude, this [bleeping] sucks.

[Brett] We did what we could do…

resources that we had.

We're not gonna make it any easier for them because they just made it

harder on us this entire time.

Well, I guess one last time. Bring it in, fellas.

[Brett] Bravo stole from us.

-[Wes] We down two machetes. -[Sarah] Bravo!

And Alpha has Leiya… with the snake on their team.

I think Leiya robbed us.

-Welcome to Alpha. -Happy to be here.

-One, two, three. -[all] Charlie!

So we don't want to give them not a damn thing else.

-[Wes] Get to ripping. -[Braxton] Not getting any of our stuff.

We came into this thing with nothing.

[menacing music plays]

[Wes]And we are leaving…

with nothing.

[flames whooshing]

[Brett] We ain't giving them another pot.

-[Braxton] Yeah, Buddy! -Smash!

Might have to burn down half of Panama before we leave here.

Pull that bitch.

[Wes] Let's go!

-Whoo! -They're gonna get nothing from this camp.

It was definitely hard to lose to those snake-ass teams.

But we are leaving this game with our heads held high and together.

I think that flaring out alone or due to giving up is weak and very sad.

We went down as a team. We went down together.

Looking next to my left, seeing Buddy, and looking to my right and seeing Wes,

it felt right.

It didn't feel good, but it did feel right.

We left this game our way.

[music rises to crescendo]

[music ends]

-[flares pop, hissing] -[howling]

[flare pops, hissing]

[Brett] I gotta shit so bad.

[dynamic theme music building]

[thunder rumbling]

[theme music fades]

[ambient forest sounds rise]

[helicopter approaching]

-[Pharaoh] Take a look at this. -[Abby] Huh? [gasps]

-[Leiya] Oh, no way. A drop? -[Maddy] Oh my gosh.

[Abby] Another crate. Surprise crate.

[Maddy] Check this out, y'all.

A box.

-Everybody come here. -It's something big.

[Maddy] Oh shit. What is this?

Camel packs.

[Abby] Compass. It's gonna be navigation.

-And there's a note. Are you ready? -Yep.

"You've made it this far with heart, grit, and sheer will,

chasing a life-changing one-million-dollar prize."

"But your journey doesn't end here."

"Tomorrow, you'll enter the heart of the jungle

to secure a key that unlocks victory and seals another team's fate."

"Now comes your final decision."

"Who do you take with you to the end?"

"You move when you hear the siren."

-[Pharaoh] Tomorrow morning. -Tomorrow morning.

-Whew. -Coming up so quickly.

-[both] We're gonna get there. -That's us.

Oh my God.

-[laughs] Oh my God. -Tomorrow.

[narrator] After a month of battling the elements

and pushing their physical and mental limits…

[Abby] All right, we got a map.

…Alpha and Bravo face their final challenge,

a two-day race to the finish to claim the million-dollar prize.

We're gonna have to trek into the jungle.

[narrator] Each team will begin from opposite ends of a 20-kilometer trail,

looping deep into the jungle to a central waterfall…

-Okay, so we're starting way down here. -Yeah.

…forcing the teams to navigate a gauntlet of unpredictable waterways

and overgrown forest.

The red dots are markers.

If you hit here, you know you're on the right path.

[narrator] Once they reach the waterfall, they will retrieve a key and a map,

both essential for the next leg of the journey to the finish line.

I do wonder what the letter means by, "Who do you take with you to the end?"

Unless this is for the other team to get rid of people before…

-[Abby] Oh yeah. -"Who do you take with you to the end?"

[solemn tones rise slowly]

[Nikki] The team you start with for this final race

is not the team you have to finish with.

And… at any point,

you can vote off a weak link if you have to.

Leiya seems to be entirely okay

with the fact that she held us back today.

Hear me out.

Obviously, our team is solidified. We are all going to the final together.

[Nikki] But Maddy and I are loyal to our core,

and we are so willing for her to share that million dollars with us.

We want to give her a fair chance.

We just need to know that she's not gonna lose us a million dollars.

I'm thinking Leiya is probably the weaker link over there.

-Uh-huh. -So they might let her go.

-And she doesn't have her shoes right now. -Yeah.

Pharaoh and I, we don't have to vote off one of our teammates.

But we're the two last players on Bravo,

so we have a disadvantage.

Because if there is even just one weak link, that's it.

We'll have to flare.

[Leiya] I want to go get my shoes.

I… I'm gonna tough it through without it, obviously.

-But… -I think you should try.

-[Leiya] Yeah. -I think it's worth a try.

To have two days in a row where we have a long trek through the woods.

This is the game-winning hike.

Like, if she doesn't have shoes…

we can't let that hold us back.

I would just do your best to just come from the heart.

-[Leiya] All right, I'll be back. -Good luck.

I know the terrain tomorrow is gonna be very unpredictable and dangerous.

So if I don't get my shoes, I won't be able to keep up.

[light atmospheric music playing]

I'm gonna put it on Morgan, who stole them.

Even if it was Abby.

Knowing Pharaoh and Abby,

giving me my shoes back was probably not gonna happen.

Ah! [bleep]

[tense notes rise]

That's not good. That was a real spike.

It penetrated my foot. Definitely get frickin' infected.

It went pretty deep, honestly.

Great. I have a hole in my foot a day before the frickin' competition.

[sighs heavily]

[plucky strings playing]

Hi!

-[Abby] Hey. -[Leiya] Is Pharaoh also here?

-[Abby] He is. He's manning the fire. -Perfect.

So I see Leiya walking over.

Congrats on how you performed today.

-That was really awesome. -Thanks, you guys too.

I know exactly why she's coming over to our camp.

I was kind of hoping that I can possibly get my shoes back.

I figured it was Morgan that took them.

So there really isn't any, necessarily, hard feelings between you and Pharaoh.

[Abby] Mm-hmm.

-Things were tough over there at Charlie. -Mm-hmm.

Now I'm finally able to participate in the game.

[Abby] Yeah.

And… you know, just to be able to end on that note,

to participate,

just, like… [crying softly] …makes this experience so much better.

-Right. -Last thing I want's to hold my team back.

And it's really just giving you a chance to do what's right.

Because looking back… everyone's gonna feel so much better about it.

I know you and Pharaoh have started the game

wanting to play with extreme integrity.

I believe you're a great person…

-Let me talk to Pharaoh really quick. -Yeah.

-Then talk to you. Okay? -Sounds good.

[pensive music playing]

[Abby] All of this is a game, and the goal is to get other people to flare out.

I have not made the best decisions, but I know that

these moves do need to be made.

We are so close to a million dollars,

but at the same time,

it is the team decision.

Do you think that we can beat them even with all of them having their shoes still?

This is a game of tough decisions.

Some of them compromise my integrity,

but I have to think about,

am I putting myself in a position to actually win,

to accomplish my goals?

[Leiya] It's in God's hands. I can't control the outcome.

If they have any human conscience with integrity,

they'll do what's right.

[music fades]

-If you know where the shoes are… -I do.

-Then go ahead. Give it to her. -Okay.

-It is the right thing to do. -Mm-hm.

-It is. -[Abby] Okay.

[Pharaoh] May the best team win.

[Leiya] I know that wasn't easy.

-And I am just so happy. -[Abby] Morgan did take the shoes.

-I know. -She knew that they were yours.

And, I mean, in all fairness…

-Good luck tomorrow. -I really appreciate that. Thank you.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

-And thank you, Abby. -Yeah.

Good luck tomorrow.

[strings strum lightly]

I've always lived my life in a way where I try to eliminate

as much regret as I possibly can.

And this is definitely one of those scenarios where

I knew that if I didn't make this decision,

that I was gonna have regret.

And now, if we lose… then they won fair and square.

Yeah, it just felt like it was the right thing to do.

[Leiya, brightly] My shoes.

No more spiky things.

[bright string music playing]

I still don't think that they're gonna make it endurance-wise.

-I think we got this. -We still got it.

-Have it be a fair playing field. And… -Yeah.

-It'll make the win that much better. -Yep.

-[music fades] -[ambient forest sounds]

[gasps] You have your shoes!

-[Leiya chuckles] -Frick yes!

Oh, thank God. Dude, come here.

[repeating] Come here.

I'm so [bleeping] happy you have shoes.

I blacked out. I just started speaking from the heart.

I was like, "Abby, I really want to believe

you are a good person outside of this game."

I bet that hit her like a ton of bricks. She was like, "Damn, I have been a bitch."

-That just clicked to them. Made sense.

Very nice. I would've just been like, "Come on, bitch."

-Like, "Let's go." -Ha!

[Leiya] You gotta dig into that humanity a little bit.

[music fades]

[narrator] For the last players standing, their final night at camp

is shaping up to be much like their first,

with a large storm on approach.

[light music playing]

[Leiya] I have an idea.

Sorry.

Since it is waterproof, we could probably use it as a tarp.

There we go.

-[Nikki] Do you need help flattening it? -Yeah. So right here…

This is where you want it out, right here.

I do feel confident in my knowledge,

but in the challenge today,

I definitely struggled with getting a fire started.

I want to prove myself to Alpha,

knowing I am the new teammate,

that I'm not a liability on this team.

-There you go. -All right.

My dad's an engineer. I think I just…

-You have the engineer brain. -…picked up his side of things, maybe.

Like this. There you go. Keep it like that.

This is the final challenge that's going to bring us to a million dollars,

so we can't afford to show up tomorrow without a good night's sleep.

Keeping our shelter watertight, it's a huge advantage.

-Leiya, that's super sick, genuinely. -[Leiya] Thank you.

[Maddy] I think that works way better than what it was before.

Well, now you guys have a… yak tarp.

-Now we have a yak tarp. -[Leiya] Yay.

[narrator] Meanwhile, Bravo has elected to conserve calories and ride out the storm,

avoiding the foraging and bushcrafting required to fortify their shelter.

This is the last night in this shelter.

The last night. We've been out here for…

a long time.

-I am over it. -I'm so done with it.

I mean, we're gonna give it our all, and we're gonna push it for our families.

Pharaoh wants to get his gator sanctuary,

and he wants to be able to propose to his girlfriend.

-Yes. -I'm so ready.

-[wind whipping] -[thunder rumbling]

[somber music playing]

[thunder cracking]

[Abby] It's coming down hard.

Now all the palmetto fiber is getting wet again.

[Pharaoh] Oh, my goodness gracious.

-I just want this night to be over. -[Abby] I know.

It's okay. Alpha's getting this too.

[thunder cracking]

[Leiya] I think the kayak's keeping us dry.

[Nikki] Yeah.

Thank God we put the boat up.

[thunder rumbling]

[narrator] The evening storm passes by morning.

The two remaining teams wait for a siren to kick off the final competition.

Last night was torture the entire night. That was terrible.

Yeah. I couldn't sleep at all.

Last night at Bravo Camp was horrendous.

We were getting wet, we weren't warm,

and we didn't get really any sleep last night.

So I am a little concerned about the final competition.

This is the most important trek probably

that we're ever gonna make in our entire lives.

So we're gonna have to give it our all.

-One more win against Alpha. -Against Alpha.

-We're gonna do this. -Yeah.

-[pensive music playing] -[ambient forest sounds]

[Nikki] Guys, this is it.

-[Maddy] Today, immediately hit the river. -Yep.

When we get there, we're gonna have to roll with the punches and go.

There's gonna be a lot of things along the way we can't account for.

The entire game, we've pretty much been right along the coast, close to the beach.

This time, we're going deep into the jungle,

so a bigger challenge than I think we even realize is ahead of us.

With how hard it rained last night,

we don't know how heavy this river is gonna be flowing.

If your foot gets stuck in a rock,

even a shallow river can just… [sucks teeth]

-…push you down. -[Maddy] Mm-hmm.

We need to stay… sure-footed.

-Mm-hmm. -We just gotta keep a quick pace.

-Mm-hmm. -We're not stopping.

Mm-hmm.

You don't come this far just to come this far. You come to win.

And if anybody on the team feels like they can't keep up, they can't make it,

I feel like we're all selfless enough to know, like…

-When to dip out. -[Maddy] Yeah.

We have a million dollars riding on this race today,

and I will not let anything hold us back.

Number one goal is win this as a team.

-Yes. -Know what I mean?

[siren wailing]

-Let's get our stuff. -Time to go.

-[siren continues wailing] -[foreboding music builds slowly]

-[sighs] -[Abby] There it is.

-Let's get out of here. -Let's get out of this hellhole.

-Let's get this, ladies. -Oh gosh.

Million-dollar hike.

[Pharaoh] Just stay focused, do what we've been doing.

[Abby] Yep.

-We got this. -[Nikki] We're gonna be great.

[deep tone sounds]

[narrator] To start the final race,

each team will make their way to separate trailheads

that lie at the base of the jungle.

[Abby] New part of the island. Here we come.

[narrator] They'll be hiking straight into the heart

of the island's most densely overgrown rainforest…

which locals refer to as el Corazón del Diablo,

or the Devil's Heart.

[tense music playing]

It's an unforgiving terrain filled with thick, tangled brush…

thorny vines…

towering trees,

and erratic terrain, making it one of the most difficult environments

on the planet to navigate on foot.

[Nikki] It is okay if we get a little separated.

As long as we have eyes on each other,

we're fine.

[narrator] The teams will head in opposite directions

to a waterfall in the middle of the jungle,

where they'll find a key and instructions for tomorrow's leg of the race.

Alpha will start seven kilometers downstream from the waterfall,

using the river as their path.

Bravo will start on the opposing 13-kilometer trail,

up through the heavily-wooded highlands,

before descending on to the waterfall.

The topography of the two paths gives them unique challenges.

Due to these conditions,

the teams can expect to reach the waterfall at roughly the same time.

They also have the potential to encounter each other along the way.

To guarantee Alpha and Bravo face the same obstacles,

they'll attempt to exit the jungle along their opponent's path

before the race is suspended at dusk.

The further they get before nightfall,

the shorter the distance they'll need to cover for tomorrow's final leg.

At daybreak,

their journey will conclude on the island's western shore,

where a final test stands between them and their fortune.

[Leiya] Dear Heavenly Father, please be with us.

-And bring us home as a team. -[Nikki] Yeah.

[Pharaoh] I'll set the pace.

[narrator] Now at their starting points, the teams hold for a second siren

to signal the start of the million-dollar race.

-Let's get this, ladies. -If you gotta pee, go ahead and pee.

-We are in the jungle. Sean… -Sean would be so proud.

When he sees this, he's gonna have a big smile on his face.

He's gonna be rooting us on. [laughs]

[Nikki] Million-dollar hike.

-[Maddy] All right. -[Nikki] Whoo!

-[siren wailing] -[Nikki] Come on! [bleeping] go!

-Whoo! -Come on!

[Pharaoh] And it begins.

Sharp rocks.

-[Abby] Okay, river crossing. -[Pharaoh] Yep.

Not too deep.

Watch any holes.

-[Pharaoh] Trail… looks like here. -Let's go up this way.

[Nikki] Okay. We're at the river going left.

Little bit slippery.

-Goes down. -[Maddy] Oh God.

-[Nikki] You okay? -Yeah, I'm good.

Okay.

So we start the trail going straight through the river,

and immediately it's a big shock to all of us.

-Leiya, come on. -[Nikki] Okay, a little bit slippery.

I'm slipping everywhere.

[Nikki] We're getting into a little bit of rapids.

[Maddy] The current is against us… and rocks everywhere.

We really don't know where our feet are hitting, and it's…

It's a rough start to the race for sure.

It's a little squishy, but it's good.

[Maddy] I hope I don't get…

[Nikki] Balls.

[Maddy] It's deep.

[narrator] Because of the previous night's rainfall,

the river has risen…

[Leiya gurgling, exclaiming]

There's something stuck. There's a big… big tree trunk.

…making the water deeper, less clear,

and each step even more uncertain than the last.

[Nikki] Whoa!

♪ My God! ♪

-You're good. -Ooh!

[narrator] Across the jungle, Bravo has faced less resistance

on solid ground,

but they still have 11 kilometers of dense vegetation

between them and the waterfall.

I think we go… keep going up this way. I think this is the pig trail, see?

-We just keep that on our left. -That's not the pig trail.

-[Abby] You sure? -Yeah.

[Abby] This doesn't look like a trail.

[Pharaoh] Here it is.

-Yep, this way. -[Abby] Okay. Awesome.

-Okay, we're back on track. -[Pharaoh] Yep, we're good.

[Abby] Nice navigating.

So as we're navigating, it is pretty exhausting mentally,

especially after last night.

-[Abby] Be careful. No injuries. -[Pharaoh grunting]

So running off pure adrenaline at this point.

-Careful. -Yep.

[Pharaoh grunts]

[huffing, grunting]

It looks like I'm heading in the right direction.

But there are parts of the forest where everything kind of looks the same.

[Abby] Is the compass out? We still going good?

-[Pharaoh] Yeah. -[Abby] North?

[Pharaoh] Yep, we're going northwest now.

[Abby] We got this. We're still doing a good pace. Whew!

-Let's just get to that waterfall. -[Pharaoh] Yeah.

[narrator] Despite navigational challenges,

Bravo has taken an early lead,

reaching the halfway point of the highland route.

Meanwhile, four kilometers of river still separate Alpha from the waterfall.

-[Nikki] It's a little bit slippery. -[Maddy] Just walk through the river.

-[Nikki] Yep. -[Maddy] Shit.

You gotta crawl a little bit.

-Coming, coming. Oh sh… -[Nikki] Okay.

-Keep going straight. Just go. -Yep.

-Sorry. -Hole!

Watch this hole.

-[Nikki] We're doing good, guys. -Leiya, big steps. Come on.

Like, get low.

You're doing great, Leiya. Honestly.

[Maddy] Doing good. This is not [bleeping] easy.

-Where does it say… -Just keep going until it forks.

There's no easy way about it. I'm sorry.

-[Nikki] Yep. -[tense music playing]

[Maddy] Take bigger steps, Leiya. Come on.

[Leiya] The hardest part about this terrain is

you can take a step thinking that you are safe

just to fall.

-[Nikki] This is a little slippery. -[Maddy] Okay. Big steps.

Come on. Just do it.

I need to keep up, but I'm just making sure I don't injure myself

and hold my team back.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Just getting a foot.

[narrator] As Alpha Team navigates the river,

they approach a major decision of the trek.

[Nikki] Okay. Is that the fork?

[narrator] One wrong turn could lead them off course

and solidify their opponents' lead for good.

[Maddy] Let's look at the map. This is a small fork. We need to go right.

-[Nikki] Okay. -[Maddy] All right, this is the fork.

Okay.

[narrator] While Alpha team reaches their halfway point to the waterfall,

Bravo Team is starting to close in.

-Are we sure we're still going north? -[Pharaoh grunts] Yep.

[Abby] Take out the map.

So let's go probably up this way, right?

Yeah, that's what it's saying.

So we're like-- We've gotta make a sharp left at some point.

I think this… this is the path, though.

[Abby] I think we need to check the compass.

-[Pharaoh] No. -No? You good?

I can hear it. Follow me.

[grunts]

[low tense music playing]

[Abby] Do you just want to check what point we are on with the compass?

It seems like we're going back the same way that we came.

-[Pharaoh] Trust me, Abby. -Okay, I'm trusting you.

I think that might be it because this is the cliff.

[Abby] That's not a big waterfall

[Pharaoh] Let's get a better look.

Hold on to the trees.

Hey, Abby…

Abby, be careful. It could be real slippery.

All right, keep your eye out for the key.

[Abby] Does the map say anything about it?

It says it's right here at the waterfall.

[Abby] I don't think this is it.

[Pharaoh] It's not the waterfall.

[Abby] All right, let's go.

[Pharaoh grunts]

I was quite frustrated

because we're in there for about ten or 15 minutes.

-We gotta take a guess somewhere. -Okay. All right.

[Pharaoh] Yep, yep.

[narrator] A wrong turn by Bravo Team

leaves the door open for Alpha Team to regain some ground.

[Nikki] All right. We're fine, guys.

[narrator] Fortunately, they have managed to stay on course.

-[Nikki] It's not that deep. -[Maddy] Which way?

Just keep going straight. Just go. Come on, Leiya, stay with us.

-You gotta move faster. -No, I got it. Coming. I'm coming.

You gotta keep up. We're not slowing down for you.

-[Leiya] I really am trying, guys. -[Maddy] Just come on.

-Oh my gosh. -Use your hands, Leiya. You got this.

Slipping.

I thought Leiya was gonna be comfortable in the water

because she is supposed to be very good at swimming… I guess.

-[huffing] -[tense music playing]

But instead, she's like someone who's never touched water.

I'm already on edge…

[Leiya] Shit.

…because yesterday I put my confidence in her to start a fire,

and she fumbled a little bit.

[Leiya] Oh shit!

[screams]

[Nikki] But I'm a fighter.

The last thing you're gonna catch is me giving up.

-[Maddy] Come on, y'all. -Use your hands, Leiya!

You got this! Be a spider monkey.

[Maddy] Leiya, come on! This is not slick! Let's go!

I'm definitely having some doubts about Leiya. I can tell she's struggling.

[Maddy] Come on, Leiya. You're way behind me. You gotta go faster.

Not to mention, tomorrow, there's a whole other day of the competition

that we have to account for.

-Leiya, come on. Get up. -[Nikki] Come on.

Give me your hand. Get up.

Like, this is your pace, right here. Come on.

I am wondering, is this gonna slow us down?

-Leiya, pick up your pace. -I'm coming.

Mother… [laughs]

Is this gonna cost us the race?

[Leiya] [bleep], my knee.

[Nikki] You're good.

-[Maddy] Big steps. -[Leiya] I got it.

[narrator] The race tests the teamwork

Alpha and Bravo developed over the past month.

They're only as fast as their weakest link.

-Are we lost again? -We can go this way.

Pharaoh… I can see that he is struggling to navigate this forest.

-Look at the map again. -[Pharaoh] What do you need to see?

-Where we are. -We're cutting it here.

We need to look at the map more. We need to pay attention to the compass.

Maybe we need to cross over here.

Because then we wouldn't have wasted time.

-We need to check the… compass. -We're good. We're going northwest.

[Abby] I think we should still have the compass out.

[Maddy] Leiya! [bleeping] go!

Leiya! Don't think about it! Go!

[Maddy] Grab her hand and drag her ass over here!

Leiya, you need to move faster. Give me your hand.

-[Maddy] Come the [bleep] on! Run, bitch! -Let's go.

Do you see how fast you can go?

You don't need to slow down.

[Maddy] We're at the [bleeping] waterfall.

[lofty music rises]

[narrator] After a grueling seven-kilometer hike up the river,

Alpha is the first team to reach the waterfall, securing the lead.

[Maddy] Okay, come on! Guys, we're at the [bleeping] waterfall.

I see our key.

I see Bravo's key.

I know that we got there first.

[Nikki] Get the map!

I got it!

[narrator] Besides a mysterious key, a second map directs the teams to a jetty

where a water crossing awaits.

But first, they must make their way out of the jungle.

-[Maddy] We just walk this trail out. -[Nikki] Yep.

Do you see how fast you can move when I had your hand?

-That's how fast you can move. -We're good. Let's go.

[Maddy] Nikki is super motivated.

She matches my energy. We're very intense under pressure.

But Leiya, I can tell she's struggling.

I'm not butt-hurt. I just wish I could go faster.

You can go faster.

Notice how when I pull you, you go faster? That's how fast you can go.

[Maddy] All of her self-doubt…

I am not going to allow this to cost us the race.

Leiya better keep up.

[Nikki] Okay.

I am terrified that Abby's long-ass legs

are gonna catch up to us.

We can't let up.

-[Maddy] Leiya, come on! -Coming.

[Pharaoh] Is that a path?

-[Abby] No. -[Pharaoh] I don't want to get lost.

[Maddy] Leiya, come on! Move your ass!

-[Abby] They're over here. -[tense music plays]

[Nikki] Leiya! Dry land! Fast walk!

-[Pharaoh] The other team? -I think so.

No way they were moving that fast.

Well, let's just go as fast as we possibly can.

-Let's go. -Yep.

[narrator] Bravo's misguided navigation has veered them off

the direct route to the waterfall, putting Alpha in a commanding lead.

-[Pharaoh] Slippery. You okay? -Yep. We're good. All right.

[narrator] Now, Bravo must make up over a half kilometer due to their error.

[Abby] Ooh! Are you okay? Careful.

This little mistake of ours, going back, trying to find the trail, has cost us.

[Pharaoh] Ah. This way.

I'm feeling a desperation that,

"Oh no, like, we are lagging behind."

We probably need to pick up the pace in order to beat Alpha.

[Maddy] Leiya, where you at?

[Nikki] She's right there.

We killed it.

[energetic music plays]

Got there first.

[Nikki exclaims]

[Nikki] Now let's keep going.

They got their key already.

Wow.

All right, let's go.

That's frustrating because they did get to the waterfall before us,

so they have an upper hand on us.

[Pharaoh] Keep going, keep going.

[Abby] I can hear it. The waterfall is close.

Is that it? Yeah, right there.

-[Pharaoh] There it is. -[Abby] Oh my gosh.

[music fades]

Did we get the key?

Oh.

[tense music plays]

All right, here's the jetty map.

Let's just get down there and have a time advantage against Alpha, okay?

-[Pharaoh] Gotcha. -Yeah.

[Abby] I know that we are behind.

We need to go extra, extra hard.

But I'm very worried for Pharaoh right now

because he has had barely any sleep last night.

And, I mean, it's affecting Pharaoh's ability to navigate this forest.

You leading or me?

-I can lead. -Okay.

[Abby] I need to suck it up, basically step up,

lead us through the river down the second half of the race.

We need to run and get to the jetty as fast as we can.

[narrator] Both teams have secured their keys and directions to the jetty,

but Alpha's lead isn't guaranteed

if Bravo can outpace Leiya in the jungle.

[Nikki] Leiya, faster pace. Come on.

[quietly] I'm trying.

[somber music playing]

[grunts] Ahh!

[panting]

[Nikki shouting] Leiya! Come on!

Leiya!

[Leiya] [bleep].

[Nikki] Leiya, talk to us. What's your motivation?

[Leiya] Okay.

[Nikki] Leiya! Motivation.

Leiya is entirely checked out. Nothing we're saying is getting through.

She's not communicating. She's not present. She's not there.

[exhales heavily]

[wearily] Oh my God.

Look at me. Breathe and let's go, okay?

Come on.

[Leiya panting]

[Nikki] This is the pace. Do not slow down on this. Let's go.

She's still going slow.

And they are on our heels.

Every step we take…

At the end of today, we need to talk.

[Maddy] Leiya, catch up.

[Leiya] I'm coming.

[Maddy] I better not turn around and not see you running.

[Leiya breathing heavily]

-[ambient forest sounds] -[low atmospheric music playing]

-[Pharaoh] We have to go south, yeah? -[Abby] Let's go.

[Abby] I think we're getting close. We got this.

[Nikki] It's slippery. Be careful.

You got this.

You're doing a great fricking job, Leiya.

-We're coming up to that river, I think. -[Maddy] Yep.

There's a lot of black palm. Leiya, let's go.

[Maddy repeating] Come on.

[Pharaoh] I did not expect us to have to go in the river the whole time.

[Abby] That's okay. We're doing it.

-[distant siren wailing] -Whoa. It's okay. I got it.

[Maddy] Come on. Through here. Okay. So we go to the right.

[narrator] A third siren signals the teams to stop where they are for the evening…

We should be able to find somewhere nice to camp.

-Yeah. -[Nikki] Around here.

-[Pharaoh] This spot looks good here. -Right here? Yeah. Perfect.

[narrator] …as darkness will make the jungle too dangerous to traverse.

In the morning, a final siren will commence the last leg of the race

out of the jungle to the jetty.

Not wanting to expend energy setting up shelter,

the teams opt to cowboy camp on the trail.

[Abby] Yeah, we'll have fluffy foliage for our bed

and then make a little fire?

-Yep. -And we should be good for the night.

I wish we knew who was first right now.

Even with our detour, I think that we were making pretty good time,

and I think booking it down the river, knowing exactly where we were going

for the second half of it,

might have made up for the time that we lost in the first half.

It feels amazing being this close to the end.

[Pharaoh] Yep.

-Good job today. -You too.

[Abby grunts]

[narrator] Unsure of their exact location,

Team Bravo faces a nine-kilometer trek to the jetty in the morning,

while Alpha Team trails by nearly a kilometer.

I do think while the sun is still up that we should talk about today

and download how it went.

-[Maddy] Mm-hmm. -Okay.

Today's trek was definitely brutal,

and looking at the map for tomorrow,

seems a lot more steady,

but… maybe a bit longer.

Leiya, how do you feel about today?

Um, it was hard.

All I had in mind was, "Don't get behind, keep up,"

and just literally my brain shut off,

and my body was just moving to the point of wipeout and stuff.

Do you feel like there's more in you to dig deeper?

Do you… I'm assuming that you need me to dig deeper.

[low tense tones rise]

Me and Nikki were multiple times grabbing you and dragging you.

I'm just being real with you.

Like, do you feel like you have it in you tomorrow?

Because tomorrow we're going equally as hard, if not harder.

Like, tomorrow is a million-dollar day for us.

I don't really know.

You know, maybe it's much, much easier for you guys,

but I am, like, literally giving it my all.

-Can Maddy and I have a quick second? -Yeah.

Truly, like… I'm happy we welcomed her on to Alpha.

I'm happy we spent time with her. I love her as a person.

-I do, too. -But we are faster without her.

I agree.

[Nikki] Leiya.

This is a really, really hard spot to be in.

But…

we talked about, if the team was held back…

the weak link had to go.

[solemn music plays]

That makes me a little uncomfortable because I really gave it my all.

It's just, you know, one twisted ankle,

and I'm, you know, out.

-And I just want to keep up. I thought-- -But Nikki and I were, like, dragging you.

I don't think that Leiya really knew what she was getting into with me and Nikki.

She wasn't expecting us to go that fast. She wasn't expecting it to be that hard.

She wasn't expecting

to have to push herself to that extreme, and…

I… I can't blame her for that.

But I felt like I wanted it for her more than she wanted it for her.

I'm here because I want it, or else I would have given up.

That's not good enough for me, though.

Because you're, like, hanging on.

We love you as a person. It's just… I don't know if we can win…

-You know what? That's fine. -…if that was your best.

There's really nothing more to say. We don't have to do all that stuff.

-You guys might need this. -[both] Thank you.

-All right. Good luck, guys. -Thank you.

-Bye, Leiya. -[Leiya] Yep.

[sighs]

That [bleeping] sucks.

That [bleeping] sucked.

[Nikki exhales deeply]

But I think it was the right call.

[somber music playing]

I pushed through that race with a hole in my foot.

Pulled a kayak all the way over to Alpha,

toughed it out for so long out here in these horrible conditions

just to get to the end.

But when people don't want you somewhere,

it's like there's no point in fighting for it.

And I know, like… I know where I'm at physically.

I'm not, like, at my prime.

But I know I wouldn't give up

if I had a team that was okay with me just being a little bit behind.

[pops]

[hissing]

-[gasps softly] -[Pharaoh] Whoa. Flare.

[Abby] There's only two of them left.

I don't know if that's a bad or a good thing.

[Leiya] Throughout this whole time on the game board, I found myself

getting pushed aside, talked down to,

not really being listened to.

And I know I haven't got along with anyone on this, so it's like,

maybe I am the problem.

But I just hope that there was a purpose that I was here.

-[ambient forest sounds] -[gentle music fades slowly]

[dramatic music rises]

[distant siren wailing]

[narrator] Morning light peeking through the canopy

gives life to the jungle

and new life to our players.

-[Maddy] It's this way! Go, go, go! -[Nikki] It's this way. Let's go.

[Pharaoh] We gotta start going west, though.

-For sure. I don't want to get lost. -Do you want to try going that way?

[Abby] We can do it. We'll get there.

This leg of the race today is the most important part of the race.

And I'm gonna go in with the same mentality that I do

going into a gator pond.

If you hesitate, then that could mean the loss of a thumb.

Around this way to the rocks. We got this. Come on.

I mean, this is a race for a million dollars.

-[Maddy] We're in the jungle, baby. -[Nikki] Careful with the vines.

[dramatic music intensifies]

[narrator] At the designated jetty,

they will find a canoe they must use to reach the smoke signal across the bay,

where they will find two ropes leading to buried chests for each team.

The first team to unlock their chest and light the green flare inside

will claim the one-million-dollar prize.

-[Nikki] What's our motivation? -[Maddy] A [bleeping] million dollars.

[Nikki] A million dollars, baby.

Maddy and I are feeling so confident. We don't have any dead weight on us.

We're not dragging someone through the woods.

We are both sure-footed and comfortable with terrain,

and we are… sprinting.

[Maddy] Watch. It's a little bit slick down here.

[Nikki] Nice. A little bit of a jump.

Quick feet.

-[Maddy] Is this right? I don't know. -You know what way to go.

You're going the right way. We're good.

-[Pharaoh] Be careful. -[Abby] Yep.

[Pharaoh huffs]

-[Maddy] Oh shit. -You okay?

It's slick there.

-[Abby] It's right here. -[Pharaoh] You're right.

Let's keep going. This is flat. This is nice.

[Pharaoh] Oh, we got this.

Abby's level-headed, and her ability to stay cool under pressure

is definitely helping quite a bit,

and I think we're gonna have more than enough energy

to push through this final trek.

I'm gonna go on this side, okay?

We gotta catch up on… time. Watch your feet.

[suspenseful notes rising steadily]

[Maddy] There's the jetty! Oh, I see boats!

-[Nikki] Oh God. -A boat! A boat!

[energetic music playing]

-[Nikki] We got here first. -Come on!

[Maddy] Get in.

[Nikki grunts]

-[grunting] -[Nikki] Row! Row!

Row! We're exhausted, but we're freaking going.

[Maddy] Let's go.

[Nikki] Row! We're going to that orange one right there.

We just gotta go straight.

We're against the current a little bit, but that's okay.

-[Maddy] Are you steering me? -Yeah!

[Maddy] Okay.

I have never steered a boat before.

-And we're trying to read the current. -[Maddy] Turn us a little left.

[Nikki] Yeah. I was hoping the current would do it.

[Maddy] I know, but we're working extra.

[Pharaoh] Let's go, let's go! Keep going, Abby!

[Maddy and Nikki panting]

[tense music playing]

Nice. They're not even there yet.

-Okay. -[Maddy] Keep going.

-Don't quit. -[Nikki] Yep.

We feel it pulling, and it feels almost like going nowhere.

-[Nikki] Row. -[Pharaoh] Almost there.

[Abby] Is that… [gasps]

-Look at that. -[Pharaoh] There it is. Showtime.

-[Abby] Oh my gosh. -Go, go, go, go, go!

Come on, let's go!

[suspenseful music builds]

-[Pharaoh] Go! -[grunts]

Wait for me. Wait. Wait.

Go! Get in.

-Okay, go. -Got it?

[Abby] Yeah.

[Maddy] Turn me a little bit.

Are they there yet?

-[Nikki] Yeah. -Oh my God.

-[Nikki] Let's go. -Come on.

We look back and realize, "Oh my God. Abby and Pharaoh are in the water."

[Abby] Going to the middle of the beach.

Focusing on one thing at a time. We got to the jetty first.

-That was our goal. -Yeah.

-[Nikki] We're gonna get across first. -Yeah.

-All right, row to the right. -Okay.

Your right, over here.

Come on, come on.

Looks like they're a good amount ahead,

so we start paddling as quickly as possible

to try to get to that beach where we see the smoke.

-It burns so good. -[Nikki] Yep.

-Let's go. -It burns like a million dollars, baby.

Nikki and I, like, we have that dog in us.

-I'm not giving up. -[Nikki] Nope.

There's no quit in us. We've been through hell.

Paddle… Paddle to your left.

-Yep. -A little bit.

[Abby] We see Alpha is almost all the way down to the beach.

-[Pharaoh] Go, go, come on. -[Abby] Okay, come on, we got it.

So we need to push it as hard as we possibly can

to have any chance of getting over there before Alpha.

-[Maddy sighs] Whoo. -[Nikki] Nice. Dig deep.

Oh baby, I'm [bleeping] coming.

Dig deep, dude. We got this.

-Let's go. -Yep. Look how close we are.

-[Pharaoh] Keep going. Keep going. -Yep, we're going. So close.

[Nikki] Okay, I see the ground.

Let's go!

-[Nikki] Okay. -Turn us in.

-[Nikki] And… -[exclaims]

All right, [bleep] this. Come on. Grab the box.

[Nikki] Got it.

-[exciting music playing] -[both panting]

[Maddy] What do we do?

[Nikki] Where's… yellow over there!

-[Maddy] Where? -To the left.

Oh, dang it.

We're so, so close to that beach,

but we can see that Nikki and Maddy

have already made it to the other shore.

Oh shit.

And we're like, "Okay, no, we need to get into high gear

to have a fighting chance in this competition."

Untie the knot. Untie the knot.

Is this it? What do I do?

-[Pharaoh] Keep going, keep going. -Still going.

-[Abby] Almost there. -Yep.

-Pull it up. -Oh my… Shit.

Shit.

[grunts]

[bleep]

-[strains] -[Nikki] Pull it.

-[Maddy grunts] -Okay. I got the key.

-We have to unknot it. -[Maddy] Oh God.

-Watch out. -[Nikki] Yeah, go ahead.

-[Maddy] I got it. -[Pharaoh] Almost there.

-[Abby] Okay, we're almost there. -You okay?

-Yep. -[Pharaoh] All right.

-[Nikki] Bite it? Yep. -[Maddy] Do something.

[suspenseful music playing]

-There you go. Yes, yes, yes. -[Nikki] Uh-huh.

-Whoo! Okay. -[Maddy] You got it.

-[Nikki] Smellin' like money. -[Pharaoh] Paddle to your left.

[suspenseful music intensifies]

-[both exclaim] -[music peaks and halts]

-Whoop! -[Maddy] Sorry.

It's okay. Where's the key?

-You have the box. It's right there. -No. The key was on this.

-[Maddy] What? -[Nikki] The key was on the rope.

[Maddy] What the [bleep]?

-Bro, what? -No, it must've come out in the sand.

You keep doing that.

Oh my [bleeping] God.

I'm panicking. Sheer panic.

Like, we're never gonna find it…

I just watched a million dollars slip through my fingertips.

-No, no, no! Keep doing that. -No, I can't. I'm [bleeping]… What?

It was on… I swear to God, it was on the thing.

Oh my God.

-[Pharaoh] Come on, come on. -Bro!

I grew up in Florida. I have lost a lot of things in the sand before.

-It's very hard to find things. -It's like ten yards away.

We can do this.

[Nikki] It's giving Abby and Pharaoh time to catch up,

and that's what was unacceptable to me.

[Pharaoh] Almost there.

[Abby] Alpha's having trouble. We're almost through the water,

and Maddy and Nikki look lost.

-We're fine. -[panting] We're not fine.

They look like they're having trouble. This is a serious thing.

-[Pharaoh] Come on. -Let's go.

[Maddy] That's a million-dollar key. Nikki, do not lose it.

-It's not your fault. I'm just… -[Nikki] No, I know.

We don't give a [bleep] about feelings right now. We're fine.

[Pharaoh] They're confused. They don't even know what they're doing.

[Maddy] Bro.

[Nikki] No, we're fine.

[music recedes]

-I'm… -Nikki.

-No, I swear to God… It's right here. -Oh God!

-See, I told you. Keep moving. -Don't [bleeping] do that to me.

-It came unlocked! -It's not your fault.

Just don't do that again.

[intense music resumes]

[Pharaoh] Oh my goodness.

Okay.

-[both] Okay. -[Nikki] Oh my God!

-[shrieks] -[Maddy sobbing]

Ahh!

-[Maddy and Nikki sobbing] -[music peaks and fades]

-[Abby] Shoot. -Okay, shoot the mother[bleeper]!

[intense music resumes]

[music crescendoes and halts]

[both sobbing softly]

[ethereal vocalizations rise gently]

[Nikki and Maddy crying]

[Nikki panting]

[Maddy crying] Oh my God.

[Nikki] We frickin'…

[Maddy] Oh my God.

[Nikki] We just won Outlast.

We just won…

a million dollars.

-Oh my God. -We just won a million…

Oh my God.

[soaring music rises]

-[Abby] We tried our best. -Yep.

Tried our hardest. And that's all that counts.

[Maddy] Oh my God.

-It's here. -Oh God!

[crying] Oh my God, Nikki.

Oh my God.

[emotional music playing]

[Nikki] It's… It feels like a movie.

And our lives are completely changed.

-[softly] Oh my God, Nikki. -I don't…

Is this real life? This is really happen-- I'm not dreaming? Are you sure?

[Maddy] I just know what this is gonna do for my family.

And I know what this is gonna do for me.

And I just… I know what it's gonna do for Nikki, and it's like, I…

I couldn't think of a more deserving person to share this with.

-Maddy, we did this. Sixteen people… -This is gonna change my family's life.

…and we're the two who won.

[Maddy] For Nikki and I to be the first two females

to win this challenge…

Like, this is my sister. This is like…

This is a person that I've suffered with.

We have a bond that nobody else can fully understand.

I [bleeping] knew we were gonna win!

[laughing] I [bleeping] knew we were gonna win!

[inhales sharply] Oh my God.

[panting] Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God…

[Abby] Seeing them over there

just makes my heart completely drop

because we were minutes out from being able to get to that beach

and having a chance to compete in that final challenge.

And, um…

[hesitatingly] Just…

[voice breaking] Um…

[sniffles]

[soft woodwinds playing]

[sniffles] Hm.

Dang it.

-You did good. -[Abby sighs]

-Good job. -Yeah.

[Pharaoh] Knowing that we were just shy of potentially winning, it… it stings.

And I have to lean on the people that supported me back home every single day.

[pensive music playing]

And, um, I'm just thankful that I had this opportunity.

[sniffs]

-[both] Good job, guys. -[Abby] Thank you.

-You guys did amazing jobs. -You guys earned it.

-Good job. -Good job.

-Good game. -Amazing job, guys.

-[Nikki] Seriously, guys. -[Abby] Yeah.

-[music brightens] -[Maddy] You guys did great.

[Nikki] Pharaoh and Abby were really good sports about it.

And that's exactly the kind of people that I want to compete against.

Those are the kind of people I am honored to be on this game board with.

[helicopter blades thumping]

[lofty vocalizations soaring]

[lavish triumphant music building]

You're great.

Okay.

Go!

Grab the bag!

[exclaiming excitedly]

[chatting indistinctly]

Outlast has been such…

a life-changing experience every step of the way.

I truly feel like it brought me home to who I am

and the way that I have myself back in my entirety.

We're gonna go home now.

[engines pitching up]

[laughing] And I won a million [bleeping] dollars!

Oh my God!

[lofty vocals rise over triumphant music]

Look at the island!

-[Pharaoh] You did good. -[Abby] You did too. Good job.

[Pharaoh] Yeah.

-[Nikki] We just won a million dollars. -[Maddy] Ah…

[music fades]

[closing theme playing]

[music fades out]
