All language subtitles for Alone Australia S4 Ep5 - Episode 5.en

DYLAN: We are heading into one of
the harshest winters on the planet.

SIA: There's no finish line.

TRENT: But there is $250,000
waiting for the last person.

I'll do anything to win.

It's snowing!

Winter has arrived.

LILLIAN: It's so cold.

Pretty soon that lake's gonna freeze.

Look at that.

Downhill from here, folks.

- Oh, man!
- Ahh!

DOUGY: Alone season four, the Arctic.

It's on like Donkey Kong.

Well, well, well.
Hasn't the game just changed?

Coo-ee!

In this environment,
the smallest mistake can be fatal.

This temperature is actually
dropping really quickly.

Oh! (SQUEALS)

I got a fire pit!

There's a fish on there.

Another one!

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

There's gonna be a time
where I can't fish.

Smoke in your eyes.

Any fish I can get in the bank,
the better.

If you're coming from a war zone,
you'll have some bad memories.

Yeah, I'm struggling to catch fish,

but that does not shake
my mental toughness.

That duck knows
where all the fish are.

It's where I need to go.

Here we go.

I've built a boat using a tarp,

sticks and some bank line,
and it works.

Yeah!

I can finally start actually fishing.

Operation Canoe, or Kayak,
whatever you want to call it.

Hey, oh, it's tippy!

Holy shit, I've got a fish!

Yes!

I'm having fish tonight!

Right, people.

So this morning,
I got up really early.

It was still dark.

And I've added another lure
onto my lure.

I've added a little smaller one.

It's red and white.

This is just gonna drag behind
me main one for small stuff.

Yeah.

See it?

A little tiny red and white lure.

Like a fly.

Today, it's just gonna
be a day of pure fishing.

This one that I've made,
I'm gonna name this the Mackem.

And what that is,
is because it's red and white.

Our arch enemies in soccer
in England,

our team called Sunderland,
we call them Mackems.

They call me a Geordie,
I'm from Newcastle.

"Oh, he's from Sunderland,
he's a Mackem."

Mackem bastards.

I officially have no food left.

It started off really well when
I caught all those fish last week.

But I haven't
got a stockpile of fish yet.

These lines just
haven't been producing.

I'm just really, really rattled.

And I'm running out of time.

This lake is gonna freeze.

And when it starts to freeze,
you can't fish.

I mean, I'm after a big fish, I'm not
after a little fish, if I'm honest.

It's just such a mission to walk.

And it's freezing.

Right, and we're off.

That was a shit cast.

I'll get out the water,
get on the surface.

Oh, got a fish.

Oh, feels good, Jesus!

Just keep the pressure,
try and tire it out a little bit.

Just keep the pressure on.

Oh.

Come on.

It's a little pike.

Stop thrashing, stop it.

Stop thrashing.

Oh, he took the tiny lure.

Stop thrashing, come on.

Oh, no, he got off with my lure,
you little bastard.

Oh, Dougy, Dougy, Dougy, Dougy.

Oh, no.

Did you see that?

No.

He took the tiny little lure.

The little bastard of a thing.

Dougy, you should have just
stabbed it with a knife.

Oh, that was fatal.

Bastard.

God, I fucking hate this place.

Jesus.

I'm okay.

Well, I lost a pike.

Oh, fatal, fatal error.

I didn't have a net.

I haven't got a gaff.

It was always gonna happen,
fucking hell.

And I'm the man
who watches Alone on the telly.

Why don't you have a fucking net?!

I honestly don't know
how much I've got to give.

As winter approaches,
everything switches off.

The fishing goes slower,
the days get shorter,

and just everything gets harder
and harder and harder.

That is a solid door.

Where will she fit?

Let's have a look.

Like a bloody glove.

Have a look at that.

What a door.

Built for the Arctic Circle.

Yeah, happy with where I'm at.

Feel like I'm a little kid again.

Pretty stoked with the new shelter.

It's bloody perfect.

And pretty happy with my smoker.

So I'm feeling pretty good.

Feeling pretty good at the moment.

Time to bait up.

There's some fish here.

There is some fish here.

Oh yeah, got him.

Yeah, baby!

Woo-hoo-hoo!

Have a look at this for a grayling.

Whoa, that is a bloody horse.

Have a look at that.

Oh, a little perch.

That's all right.

Beauty, yeah.

Jeez, I'm having a session.

Have a look at him.

That's a feed.

Woo-hoo!

It's a grayling.

Yeah!

Grayling.

Hey, that's what we come for, baby.

Oh, it's a big trout.

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

This place
is really providing for me.

It's really starting
to look after me.

And it's really starting
to feel like home here.

Oh, got a fish.

Here he comes.

Come on.

Yeah!

Man, that's a good fish.

Have a look at this puppy.

He's way oversized.

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Yes!

What a big horse.

Have a look at this.

Hey, baby!

Today's a good day.

Oh, I'm stoked.

I'll have at least a month
of preserved food,

three or four days
of fresh food still.

So, looking good, going good.

Yeah.

Man, I just really...
I just really wanna win.

I just really wanna win this.

I've never wanted
something so much in my life.

I just wanna make a better
life for my family.

But things can change
so quickly out here.

Oh, I've just done a...
just done a fart.

I wonder if that's... I wonder
if that means there's a poo coming.

I hope so.

I haven't done a poo now for 15 days.

Never been constipated in my life.

Oh, another one.

Like, the last two weeks,
I've had a fair bit of food.

Where does it all go?

Just disappears, does it?

Or I've just got one huge poo
in there.

It's waiting to come out.

Because you haven't pooed
for a couple of weeks,

doesn't mean the doctor
doesn't tell me to go home.

Man, this could be a problem.

Go home, tell the kids.

"Hey, kids.

"Dad's home."

"Oh, Dad, did you win?"

"Nah, Dad couldn't do a shit,
so I had to come home."

Welcome to day 21.

Still no fish.

I'm just gonna check my set lines.

We'll see.

Okay.

Let's check this one.

My belly is empty as my bank account.

And winter is coming.

If I don't catch fish,
I'm in trouble.

Just have a look.

Nothing.

I don't see anything.

Okay.

I'm losing weight.

As soon as the body start losing fat,

then the body will start
consuming muscles.

That would put me at risk.

Next time the med check,
they will come and check,

possibly they will pull me out.

Chuck it back there
and we'll leave it.

It's very hard to survive here.

But I know what it means
when you have nothing.

I grew up in a very disadvantaged
community and family in Afghanistan.

This is nothing
compared to what I've been.

Hopefully, things will change.

But for right now,
I'm hangry and I'm desperate.

Okay.

Time to go back to our shelter, mate.

I don't know.

It's just this place
or it's just me with no luck fishing?

It's so disappointing.

We can continue with our berries.

But I need more than that.

Reindeers.

There's a herd of them.

You know these reindeers
are like the cousins of goats?

Goats are the super naughty animal
that you can have.

And then I guess
these reindeers are the same.

All coming,
destroying all of my berry fields.

I think they love to eat those
berries, leaves, these plants.

So they eat leaves and then they
just walk on it and then they crush

all the berries.

So this morning
I saw half of those berry fields -

that is my only food source
for now...

..being smashed by those reindeers.

What can I do?

We're not allowed to hunt.

We're not allowed
to even go close to them.

We're not allowed to touch them.

We're not allowed
to do anything to them.

Otherwise, by now I can guarantee you

there would be like 10 reindeers

hanging from this tree
right in front of my shelter.

I could open easily
a nice butcher shop here.

Put a big sign -

'Reindeers, $2 per kilo'.

It just drives you mad.

Now you tell me, what else I can do?

So I've noticed
I'm running low on firewood.

So I'm just gonna break all this
wet wood and just store inside and

hopefully it will dry enough.

All right.

Wow.

You're amazing, Sia.

You're so good at this.

I know, I know, I know.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

I'm without energy.

The hunger definitely is kicking in.

Especially at night time,
keeps me awake.

I'm just so desperate
for some protein into me.

I'm losing so rapidly.

I need to get some fish.

If I don't get any fish, that could
be the end of my time here.

Oh, I haven't really made up
my mind where I'm gonna put it.

I am thinking to put it over there.

Not ideal, because it's really heavy.

Got no choice.

Can't comprehend how out of breath,
how weak I feel.

And I've got not a lot of energy.

Have to be careful being up here,

because I'm just
not that strong anymore.

Don't wanna fall in, because
if I did, I'm in my warmest gear,

and things just doesn't dry here.

Okay.

Far out.

I can't go. I can't go.

Argh!

Arrh!

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I fell in.

That is actually dangerous.

I need to get warm really quickly.

My feet is cold.

Yah! Dropped it.

Come on, baby.

Don't do this to me.

Come on.

I have a pre-existing
frostbite already.

I got it when I raced in the Arctic.

It is burning!

As soon my big toe gets a bit cold,

I lose the feeling of it.

I'll show you
where I don't have feeling.

Just under there.

Under there.

I knew coming in that my existing
frostbite was gonna be a problem.

But I think being an
ultramarathon runner, we accept pain.

Got to look after feet out here.

I truly believe that my resilience
is my advantage, because you need to

have been broken
and feel hopelessness.

And because I've done that
so many times

and I know that there's a way
to move forward.

I think that's my strength.

Oh, the water's crystal clear today.

I can see clear
almost all the way to shore.

Been out here three weeks now.

No luck so far with the fishing.

There's no way that no one else
has caught any fish.

I'm certain I'm the last one.

Absolutely certain.

All we gotta do is just not panic.
Got to keep trying.

What is that?

That's a fish.

There's a net.

It's got tangled in that net
that someone's left there.

Yeah, that's a decent net.

Holy shit.

Oh, wow.

Okay, yeah, it's tangled
quite a bit around this rock.

It's not too far from shore.

I have to wade in.

If I can do it.

I might be going for a swim, guys.

Ooh, exciting.

'Cause that fish,

if I can't eat it,
I can at least use that as bait.

It is going to be no easy feat
to get that out.

It's gonna take a lot.

This water is almost freezing.

It's cold.

This could be a dangerous endeavour.

Frostbite and hypothermia

are probably the biggest things
to look out for.

It can kill you.

I've got to try.
I've got to try this.

I can't let that opportunity
pass me by.

Shit, yeah.

Oh, yes.

That is game-changing.

This is a bit of a dangerous one
that I'm about to do, guys, because

I'm about to go retrieve a fishing
net, something designed to tangle.

I have to be really careful.

It's already so cold that
my hands are a little bit tingly.

It's gonna be even colder in there.

All right, guys,
this is all I'll be wearing.

All right, my undies.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

Oh, wow.

Oh, it's so cold already.

I wouldn't be risking this unless
there was a great reward at the end,

a potential for a...

It might seem like a lot of overkill.

All right.

This is where we're at, and this
is what we've got to deal with.

But still...

Oh, God.

Do the hard things.

Oh, yep, that's that point.

Whoo!

I do have a habit of taking things
a little too far.

It's one of the reasons I came here,
do something really, really hard.

Wish you don't die doing it.

Oh, it's painful.

Brrr!

Ohh!

Yeah, it's painful.

But we've done it.

I just needed to reef it out.

Oh.

Net.

On the back.

Oh, it smells fishy.

Oh.

I'm over that shock.

I'm cold, but I'm not
dangerously cold, thank God.

Because I do not want to have
to deal with that right now.

I'll change.

Let's get out...
Let's get out of here.

Well, guys, we have...

..two perch.

And one looks like it's been in there
maybe five days, one, maybe a few.

But I don't think either of them
are actually safe to eat.

What I will do with them,
though, is use them as bait

to catch something I can eat.

That's my plan anyway.

I would love to know
what temperature it is.

It's definitely colder
than what's normal for me.

I went to the toilet.

And I went to wipe my bum.

And all of the moss
has little icicles on it.

So I had to wipe my bum
with icicle-covered moss.

Which, I tell you, that was chilly.

That was a chilly one.

I think it's going to get really
cold and that's going to make

everything a bit harder.

A fair bit harder.

Mushrooms are gone, basically.

There's not much left to harvest.

But I've got enough to keep going.

Fishing's been really unreliable
as a food source.

It's actually quite clear and calm.

Let's check these set lines.

All of my set lines, I imagine,
will be covered in weed.

Yep.

Good.

That's a great, great harvest.

Look at that harvest.

Weedfish.

Two different species.

I wonder if I could
eat that waterweed.

Might be worth a little tester.

It's probably not no superfood
or anything, I imagine.

But it is food food.

I'm willing to try anything
at this point.

Because that hunger is just working,
working, working up.

So this is the amount
that I'm going to try out.

So I'm just going to boil that
for about five minutes, ten minutes.

Give it a good proper cooking.

You know, last night I had a dream.

About just an array
of different sausages.

Yeah, a lot of dreams about food.

Alright, I'll give it a little crack.

Mmm.

Tastes quite good.

It's almost like crunchy spinach-y.

It's quite nice.

I'd say that's encouraging,
definitely encouraging.

Cool.

Being here is a process
of initiation in my mind.

Because it is so challenging.

I'm going to need to adapt.

I'm going to have to make
new ways of being out here

and grow as a person
in order to survive.

I'll probably
still dream about sausages though.

Okay, guys.

Let's do this.

I am excited.

I've got a net that I'm pretty sure
I'll be able to make use of.

And two fish to use as bait.

And I need fish.

I need fish so I can stay here
for the long run.

You know what,
here's as good a place as any, guys.

Alright, guys.

So here's the other fish.

The thing is, this one actually
looks almost good enough to eat.

One of its eyes is cloudy but the
other one's still kind of glassy.

I could boil the crap out of it.

It doesn't smell bad.

No, I can't risk it.

I can't risk getting sick out here.

Use it as bait.

I can't. I can't eat it.

Use it as bait.

Alright, guys.

I'm actually going to try
and boil this fish up.

Okay.

Let's see if this works.

It was a very dangerous thing
that I did.

I risked my life to get a fish net.

But at the end of the day,
you need to eat.

And I'm feeling desperate,
to be honest.

Well, guys, I've just boiled
the crap out of this fish.

I'm going to give it
a little taste test.

That tastes 95% okay.

It actually tastes really good.

But there's that 5%...

..that I can't trust.

And based on how hungry I am...

..I'm probably
just focusing right now

on how awesome it would be
to have a fish meal.

There's a 50-50 chance
that it could be okay.

That I would be fine eating that.

I can't risk it, guys.

Well, I'm in my shelter.

Just one thing missing.

Food. And lots of it.

I had a big fishing expedition
and caught nothing.

It's a nightmare.

I worked on my permanent shelter.

It didn't take long.

It didn't take long at all.

So what I'm going to do,
I'm going to make a teepee.

It means I can have a fire inside

without having a crazy fireplace
set up.

I'm quite impressed with this.

It's all coming together.

It's amazing being able
to stand up in your shelter.

Not that it's my shelter yet.

This is my new bed.

Yes!

Up there for thinking,
down there for dancing.

Whoo!

I need to get this top on and get it
on quick before the heavens open.

I've got plenty of light in here.

I'm over the moon with that.

So today is my dad's birthday.

65.

Bless him.

I can't even talk about my dad.

Bless him.

I was about 21 and I get a phone call
off my Uncle Martin.

He says, "You have to go down
to your granddad's."

I'm like, "OK."

I'm like, "What for?"

He said,
"Just go down to your granddad's."

I went down there and he said,
"He's dead."

I said, "Who's dead?"

He said, "Your dad."

I'm like,
"What? What the fuck? What?!"

He said,
"Aye. Just a massive heart attack."

He was 43.

He was my best friend.

Oh, God.

He was my best friend.

Billy Vickery.

It's his name.

I'm older than my dad was.

I'm 43 now and I'm older
than he was when he died.

God, I thought he was an old man.

I was 21.

God, how young.

And I tell you what.

If there's any young men
watching this, listen to me here, OK?

If you've never told your dad
you love him, go and tell him.

Just go and tell him.

Just say, "Dad, I love you."

If he's making a cup of tea,
if he's in his garage, anything.

I never told my dad I loved him,
and that is fucking...

And it rips me apart every day.

And it's ripped me apart every day
for the last 23 years.

I lost my best friend that day.

My hero.

I just hope I've made my dad proud
for being out here in the wild

and just really
giving it a good crack.

Fuck.

Right.

I don't want the fireplace
filling up with snow.

So the plan
is to just build a flat lid.

My strategy at the moment
is one day at a time.

Slow her down.

Try not to burn too much energy.

I've had virtually nothing to eat
for three weeks,

so everything I do
seems hard work at the moment.

It's taken me twice as long
as I thought to build my shelter.

That's been my focus.

Because without it, we're buggered.

Happy with that.

That's a hell of a lot of work.

It's taken it out of me,
to be honest.

But, yeah, she's tough today.

Well, every day's tough, but I can
feel the old worms burning in my gut,

thinking,
"Come on, feed me, feed me!

"You bastard,
when's the next feed coming?"

Well, it's nearly dinner time
here at Guts Ache Inn.

I'm going to show you
a special treat.

Probably not the average
kind of thing you'd consider to eat.

The deer skin dinner.

In desperate times, you think of
anything possible that you could eat.

And I thought, why not this?

It's actually part of the animal.

It's just dried skin.

It's probably got some protein.

Probably got a little bit of fat
in it, maybe.

I thought, why not give it a go?

So the trick is
to sear the hair off it,

because it's got a very dense fur
here.

So...

Meanwhile, of course, your mouth
is watering at the thought of it.

Delicious deer skin.

That big long strip of skin
that you started with,

slowly shrivels up
into a little tiny ball.

So what I'll do
is I'll pull these end bits off.

Because they're ready.

It's got a little bit of fluff on it,
but you don't worry about that.

It's good for you.

Maybe.

Now...

Mmm.

Not particularly delicious.

In fact, I don't find it nice at all.

So if you're really hungry, and
you happen to have an old deer skin

laying around, burn the hair off it,
and eat them.

Might taste like shit,
but you can eat them.

Alright.

Don't have so good news.

Looks like my mushroom's
been attacked by all these maggots.

Maggots everywhere on this.

See there?

It's like maggots.

This one is covered in it.

There is no way I can eat that.

Oh.

No.

Yuck! Oh!

Maybe I should have cooked that
earlier.

Which leaves me with one mushroom.

I thought I had three meals here.

Turns out to be one.

One last meal.

That's not good.

I thought I had two more days
of mushrooms.

At the moment,
I've only got berries to live on.

But it's not going to sustain me.

There's nothing out there.

No more mushrooms.

And winter is coming.

I'm just so hungry, that's it.

And the hunger scares me.

Hunger is not painful.

It slowly creeps up on you.

It makes you weak.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

I grew up in the poorest part
of Thailand.

And we used to hunt frogs.

Because we didn't
have anything to eat.

A good day, I would have a frog
with some rice to go to school.

People know
that you're the poorest kid...

..when you have a frog
in your lunchbox.

Sometimes my uncle would bring a rat
if he'd been hunting.

It kind of reminds me...

..how tough things really were...

..and how far I've come.

And how hard I fought
for a better life.

I wouldn't be who I am,
and where I am...

..without that upbringing.

I think I've lived my life like...

..not wanting to waste a minute,
a second of it.

People in Thailand would have done
anything to be in my shoes.

Yes, being out here...

forces me to be still.

Well, we haven't caught fish.

But look what I caught.

A piece of stick.

What do you call this?

Stick fish.

This is legal.

To eat it. Yeah?

Day 25.

Still no fish.

And that's a bit concerning, but...

..what can we do?

We're trying everything.

Status.

There's no way that I'd give up.

Giving up is a shameful thing,
personally and individually,

for me,

for my people,

and from where I come from.

Hell no.

I would rather go back home
in a body bag

than tapping out.

Yes.

To make it to Australia...

..wasn't easy.

Nine months of long journey.

I slept in the jungle.

No passport, no ID, nothing.

Hungry most of those days.

And then ended up 16 days inside

the small, tiny wooden boat.

Those times, those hard times,
helped me here.

To be no one,
and make it all the way here,

and say, "Alright.
This guy had done something."

I survived all those things

to make it to Australia.

So, I'll do anything
to win this thing.

If I had the chance,
I would just take all these things...

..all these communication things,

I would just throw it in the lake.

Sat phone and all those things.

Yeah.

And then I would be like, alright -
I'm here by myself now.

There's no way to go back
unless I win.

And then I would just
do pretty much everything to survive.

Alright.

Put you guys inside.

Let me...

..check something.

Alright.

Getting some more water.

Look at this.

Frost.

My water reservoir.

Look.

Ice.

I reckon last night
was down at minus three.

The ground is frozen.

Which means the berries would drop.

I really have to focus
on picking the berries.

Because I've got no mushrooms
and nothing else to cook anyway.

So, I'm going to try
to get as much as I can.

Could be my last chance to pick them.

Something...

Look at that.

All mushy.

My blueberries.

They're destroyed.

The blueberry bushes are frozen.

They are gone, gone, gone.

This is devastating.

This is like my only food resource.

It's not good. It's not good.

Bit worried, to be honest.

Makes me feel
like the season is over.

I have to focus on the fishing.

I have to sort that net out.

Because if I give up,
I've got nothing.

Yeah.

I'm still not feeling 100%.

I've been pretty much
resting all day.

So, I didn't get anything done.

I'm okay.

Oh, jeez.

I'm soaked.

Med checks.

Hello?

Arash?

It's the doc, Arash.

He's not home.

- He's not there?
- No.

Arash?

Arash?

Arash?

Med checks.

Hello, mate?

Where is he?

No idea.

What's his RockSTAR doing here?

Still on, charged.

His camera's here.

His sat phone's here.

His life jacket's here.

All his safety equipment's here.

Jesus.

He's gone.

Let's have a look around.

Arash, mate? Med checks.

- Arash?
- Arash!

Arash?

Arash?

Arash. Hello?

Arash!

Okay, I'm getting worried now.

We've got the boat crew as well.

- Yeah.
