All language subtitles for Alone S04E06 Thicker Than Water

Jim's here!

Yeah!

You did it!

Whoa! Yes!

Wow, look at that. Six-pound whopper.
Oh, I'm so happy. We're going to be

eating tonight.

Whoa! Fish on? Yeah. Oh, yeah!

Woo-hoo! We have what it takes to win
this. Cheers, baby.

Jim's Crop Trap is revealing its head.

No!

Nothing. That's devastating, Jim.

It felt like this water come through.

Oh, my God, dude.

Somehow the ground tarp we're sleeping
on was getting some water back on it,

and it pooled back in towards Jim and
has soaked through his sleeping bag and

soaked his pants.

This whole area completely soaked
through.

Dude, look, from here to here.

How did you let that happen?

I didn't. I just woke up and it soaked
through, dude.

This is a rainforest, and it's just
dumping rain.

It doesn't matter how many more layers
you put on top, you just start getting

absolutely freezing, and you're so
miserable.

I mean, this is no joke. The weather
around here will kick your ass.

As soon as your sleeping bag gets wet,
it really doesn't hold the heat, and you

start to freeze at night.

You know, that means that there could be
a chance of some really serious

problems.

So I'm going to have to dry my sleeping
bag and my pants out now.

The slightest breeze blows through our
shelter and just rips the heat right out

of our sleeping bags and chills us to
the bone.

If this rain picks up, it's going to
wash us right out of here.

How can one place get so much rain?

This is just amazing.

Just wondering how many inches of rain
we've gotten since we've been here.

We're situated on an inlet surrounded by
mountains.

So there's the rain, and then...

these mountains funnel these incredible
gusts of wind that come through

like some mythological beast and it's
scary

even in the most miserable weather you
have to get out

you have to uh you got to keep your body
moving otherwise things just start

getting sore and stiff and you're old
Yeah, especially when you're old.

Thanks, buddy. I appreciate that.

Really, I have no business being out
here. I'm too damn old to be doing it.

But my son dragged me out here with him,
so...

So, I

don't know. Maybe it is starting to
lighten up, and we may get a little

break here in the afternoon.

It's not like you want to do this.

But we can only fish on the low tides.

And it's so important that when we can
fish, you give it a try.

Sam has told me he doesn't think that he
could have done this with someone else.

I can't even tell you how great that
makes me feel.

Okay, baby, come on. Let's catch a fish.

Coming out here and doing this with this
old man, I think it's impressed him.

Oh, nice catch, Dad.

Yes!

Oh, I'm so excited. I'm so happy we got
something.

I think every dad wants their son to
look up to him and be proud of him.

There it is.

What do you got there? This is a black
rock bass.

I like to think he's proud of me.

This is incredible.

Oh, this is such good news.

Better get another line in the water.

Here comes the rain again.

Yep. Here comes the wind.

Damn. Holy cow.

There's a huge storm rolling and the
wind's whipping.

This is insane.

It's like a hurricane.

Oh, God.

This is nuts.

This is nuts.

It sure is.

What do you think? We should probably
head back. I think it's a smart thing to

do.

Let's get out of here.

It's hitting me in the face right now.

It's killing me.

We are in standing water.

Wow.

To see this river of water running
through here blows my mind.

If you need some water, let me know. I'm
the guy with the source here.

Oh, man.

I decided I wanted to move my bevy down,
and so when I got up and I look, and

there's a damn river of water.

I can't believe I caught it when I did,
you know?

Look at the amount of water coming
through there.

Wow.

This thing's good.

So we're going to have to go get another
tarp here that we're using for water

catchment and set us up a good tarred
floor of this shelter. Just have to

empty it out. It totally breaks my
heart, but you got to do what you got to

do.

When this place is raining heavily and
muddy, it's a miserable place.

That's when the mind is going to turn to
those other things like my family.

All I can think about is my wife and
kids.

I did not expect that I would have such
deep longings to be with my family.

It's really caught me off guard.

My mind is saying, I don't want to be
here. I'd rather be at home.

I really wonder if Brody feels the same
way.

Today's a great example of the kind of
weather that if you get wet, it can get

you hypothermic.

This is the water underneath my tarp
right now.

We are officially on the verge of being
flooded.

If we can't stay in dry environment,
long-term survival here, I just don't

really see it possible.

So today, it's just an absolute
downpour, and it also happens to be high

tide.

Here you can see the tide, and that's
the back wall of our shelter right

there.

It's rising incredibly quick.

You know, normally the water is way out
there.

It really only has to rise a few more
inches before it actually gets

into our shelter.

Never dreamed the tide would ever rise
this high, but we're having the lunar

tides right now.

Very worst thing that could happen right
now is to have an onshore breeze that

would be blowing even more water up in
here.

hoping that this rain will let up and
hoping that the biblical tides will

recede.

I just don't like the thought of the
water infiltration.

it's pretty scary yeah and really it's
it's uh it's pretty much too late to

move our shelter

can you tell from over

there what the water's doing i can't
tell if it's going up or down

Yeah, it's definitely still rising.

You just can't afford to get wet out
here. You just can't afford it.

When you get wet, that's it. Your
clothes are going to stay wet.

I hope you don't get to that point.

It's so easy to just press that button
and go home.

Well, it's early morning.

Yesterday was a torrentially rainy day.

Today, so far, it's not pouring rain,
which is a great bonus.

Trying to get out here at low tide.

Get some gumboots.

Got some limpets.

But, you know, always looking for
something better.

Be nice to have a couple roasted over
the fire this morning.

Where are you gumboots?

There's one.

Cool.

In the pot.

Okay. Dave's first gumboot.

These are really good roasted.

Got these plates on the back of them,
and you peel off the plates like little

shells.

That's all good to eat right there,
babe.

Really? Yeah.

It's funny when they say, oh, it tastes
like chicken. This does. It tastes just

like chicken. Yeah. That's a good woman
gets you up in the morning with some

wild seafood.

And there's actually substantial meat
there.

It's good stuff.

Mm-hmm. Man, it's nice to know you got
food.

A little something-something.

A little something-something.

It is not raining on me right now.

which is awesome.

Yesterday was an unbelievable storm.

Brody and I both ended up sleeping on
running water.

Probably the worst night of sleep we
both have had, maybe ever.

I was really hoping on building a
shelter that allowed me to dry things

out. But as a result of all the
flooding, we need to find a whole new

location.

The only time of the day that we ever
felt warm was whenever we'd be in our

shelter.

And now you can't stay dry.

Well, I think this whole basin is a
drainage from the mountains.

There's no flat ground.

Coming to Vancouver Island, I knew this
place was going to be wet, and it is.

You don't try to live in places like
this. You don't try to hike in places

like this.

In addition to going through this tall
underbrush to get anywhere, you've got

to climb over all these tall trees.

So this is the other spot that we're
looking at.

I would say this is an incredible
calorie expenditure to do everything

we're talking about doing here.

I'm not sure that we'd get all this
done.

The shelter locations are just absolute.

around here.

There's no good location here that I
have found.

There's just worst, worse, bad.

Let's get back to the shelter now.

Most of the time, people get wet. They
are eventually able to get out of it in

a dry environment, but to be out in this
stuff like we've been, it's easy to see

how this place can kick a man's ass.

And so, I really wonder, Do I really
want to stay here longer when I could be

home with my family?

All right, so here's the scoop.

I've been thinking hard.

I need to explain some things about my
situation.

Presley's birthday.

Oh, yeah.

What a miserable day that was for me. I
thought about her all day long.

I realized just going through this deal
with my daughter's birthday that...

The only reason to stay out here long
term is for the money, you know?

If I hit that button and go home, then
my kids will know that I chose them over

money.

You and I have the greatest treasures at
home.

Right.

When's your daughter's birthday?

November 20th.

Okay. That's coming up.

I don't think you should miss your
daughter's birthday.

I'm telling you.

Maybe we should just have a shorter run
here instead of trying to stay long

term.

I

don't

want you to leave here with regrets, you
know, just going along with me.

We've never been a family that chose
money over family. I mean, that's never

been who we were.

And that's why all this is so painful.

And I want to get back there and be so
much more loving than I've ever

been before to my wife and kids.

And, you know, the best advice I can
give as a brother is we need to get you

home for your daughter's birthday. It's
her first birthday. She won't remember

it, but you will.

I appreciate that.

You know, I have to start doing some
thinking about it.

I realize what my brother is going
through.

I'm sympathetic to his feelings.

But there's no doubt that I could go
longer.

I feel like I have unfinished business
on the table.

I don't want to look back and think that
this was incomplete.

That would be just saying that this is a
story that really has no ending.

it's not a bad sitting spot is it now
when the sun's shining it's great

ever

since i got dropped off on that
helicopter i've been busting my butt and

tracking through the mountains but my
brother he was pretty much checked out

by the time i got here there comes a
certain point where We're here together,

so you need to come to an agreement.

I did want to try to push him to stay
here, you know, but if it's really

weighing on him that heavily, I don't
feel right dragging him through that.

Hey this is Chris.

We're officially tapping out.

Hey, guys.

What's going on?

Today's our day.

The idea of being gone for an extended
period of time for my family was very

difficult for them to accept, and I
carried that out here with me.

You know, you have mixed feelings about
it. But right now, I'm thinking about

getting back home, you know, for my
daughter's birthday. You know, it's a

big deal.

I'm looking forward to that.

The decision to leave is extremely
difficult.

Usually, I'm a fight personality.

I'm not a flight personality.

I'm going to stand my ground.

I'd love to stay longer, but at the same
time, it's more important for me to keep

a good relationship with my brother.

I think Brody wanted to stay.

And it just pains me to even think about
that.

I feel like the only reason he's tapping
is because he doesn't want to let me

down. When I came out here, I was really
ready for the physical part of this. But

as far as the emotional journey, missing
my daughter's birthday totally changed

my experience.

That's really been the biggest surprise
for me on this journey.

Being out here created this sense of
deep longing for my family.

I understand now better than I ever have
before that we're meant to be with

people that we love and people we're
attached to.

Even though some people won't understand
the decision to leave, I know my wife

and kids will understand.

I just puked.

I'm

just

puking my guts out here.

Maybe I should get a fire going.

you can come chill by the fire for a bit
i can't stomach that seaweed

this

diet is catching up with me here just a
whole ton

of seaweed and if i'm not able to
stomach that seaweed i mean that's a

staple for us so

If we don't start catching fish, I don't
know how long my body can keep doing

this.

I need to go sit around and wallow in
self-pity.

to get better.

It's another day, man. It's another
race.

Ted was horribly sick this morning.

Just not a fun time.

So I just said, why don't you try to
take it easy, man, and rest.

I'll try to get some food.

I think one of the most meaningful
things that I can do right now is to

nurture Ted back to health as best I
can.

I believe you are your brother's keeper.

We're given X amount of survival items.

The best survival item you have is the
other person you're out there with.

Someone to kind of carry you through
those rough times.

I'm going to try to carry the ball here.

It's just disappointing and strange that
there's just never any fish here.

If I don't catch a fish, I might just, I
don't know, stab myself in the face.

I got a fish, baby.

First cast.

Yes.

Oh,

a little herring or something.

a little herring or something.

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

There's a whole school.

They're all tiny. I wish I had a smaller
hook.

Oh, man, this tide's coming in quick.

Probably makes sense to try some active
fishing off another point here.

We just need a fish real bad.

We both feel like we can stay out here
as long as we want if we can find enough

food.

Perfect.

Sure would be pretty sweet if this
cashed in here.

Oh my God, I got a fish.

Yeah, baby.

Yes.

Yes!

Yeah!

Yeah!

He got a fish!

Oh, thank God.

Keep giving her.

I will.

I hear those seagulls going, telling me
there's a good chance there's a second

run of herring coming.

And so I'm going to try to check.

By the net.

Dude, there's a massive school here.

There we go.

Caught one.

Yeah, baby.

Here's another one.

Don't mind if I get one more of those.

And that's eight.

Yeah, baby, we're getting somewhere
here.

Another one.

Yeah, there's one again.

Yes! There's the 16 sablefish.

I got a huge greenling.

What a day.

Woo!

Beauty day.

Emotional roller coaster around here.

I think my face was out of the way for
that sucker.

The weather has been a son of a gun.
It's just pouring.

Brooke built a good shelter.

But we came out here with the mindset
that we're gonna win this.

And that means we need something better
suited for the weather.

The idea is we're gonna put up a little
cabin.

Somewhere in here is kind of what we're
thinking.

This does look like the flattest piece
of real estate I see.

Yeah, I think so too.

Everybody's got to do what they think is
right out here.

I don't want to be in a tent.

I want to be in something serious.

I don't want to worry about, do I got to
roll to this side when the wind's coming

that way?

Timber! No, I want to live in something.

The mental benefit of being inside four
walls is huge. And this is a mental game

as much as it's a physical game.

What I was kind of thinking about doing
is digging a trench all the way around

and then standing the logs up stockade.
And all you'd have to do is you'd have

to lash the top to four poles to keep
the top true.

A cabin represents progress and
longevity and promise of a better future

out here surviving.

Dave and I naturally are inclined to
divide and conquer.

If it's a cabin we're going to build,
well, he'll start digging a trench and

I'll start cutting trees.

Whoever is best equipped to do the thing
that needs to get done, you have to do

it.

Once the trench is dug, all you're doing
at that point is cutting seven-foot

logs, stick it in the hole, pack it in
there, lash it off. So the whole place

is going to get tied up together.

I've been building stuff since I was 16
years old. I've built several little

cabins. I have a pretty good idea about
how much it's going to take to do this.

And this upgrade is a calorie risk.
We're just going to have to...

Take our time on it.

But it'll be a big payoff. We just got
to watch ourselves.

Got to watch it.

How you doing?

I've never felt so weak before.

It's like somebody unplugged me and
forgot to recharge me.

Help old granny up.

Granny.

Oh.

Brooke is resilient.

She has no quit.

But right now, she's completely out of
gas.

I've never, ever seen that from her.

Kind of scary.

bird is right up here at the shoreline.

I'm scooting all around.

No idea what it is.

Silly little thing, though. Not even
scared of us.

The other day, we basically just stayed
in our tent all day.

Unfortunately, the tides are kind of
super high lately. It's been really

scary that it's just going to flood our
shelter.

It hasn't yet. We're super happy about
that.

damp very wet here not the easiest place
in the world to start a fire so today

we've got to visit a couple of spruce
trees to see if we can start getting

some resin flowing we use the sap as an
accelerant that resin is quite

flammable use whatever you can out here

We're going to walk down our shoreline
just a little ways, and we're going to

scar some of our spruce trees.

We really don't know how quickly they'll
start secreting any of the sap, but

really it does it as a defense mechanism
to heal its own wounds.

So here's a big spruce tree right here.

It's a big old trunk.

It sure is. Big tree.

We're just going to give him a little
cut.

Obviously not enough to kill it.

So by cutting the tree, we had a bit of
an angle with the sap wall collect down

at one side.

Any white in there yet?

Getting there, yeah.

It'll be interesting to see if that
works. I have no doubt it will work.

It's just a matter of how long will it
take. How long it takes.

All right, next tree.

Oh, this one's got a good resiny spot on
it.

Holy cow, look at all that stuff.

Yeah. It's been dripping on the ground.

Look at that. That's just pure resin.

All of that is great for starting fires.

Very nice. That's some good stuff right
there.

I'm going to let you make resin cakes
tonight. How's that?

All right.

Now we got a bowl of resin ready to
start cooking.

Nice. We are good to go.

Oh, yeah, this stuff's melting down
nice.

Oh, man, look at this resin.

Wow, look at that.

Hoo-wee.

You got the cedar shavings close by?

They're right over there.

Basically, all I'm doing is I've laid
down a layer of cedar.

Then once the resin is good and cooked,
I dump it onto that layer of cedar, try

to spread it out as thin as possible.

Then I put a fresh layer of cedar on
top.

And then it's just a matter of letting
it cool down.

So here we've got our little resin
cakes.

Here you've got three of the finished
cakes, and they work really well.

Yeah, incredibly well.

And that's really been the key to our
fires lately.

Thank God for the resume.

So this is a big moment, Ted.

I can't believe we finally caught these
fish.

We're just scratching the surface here,
you know?

I feel like maybe the good times are
about to roll, dude.

This amount of toughing it out at the
beginning is what makes most people

leave in three weeks or a month, you
know? Mm-hmm.

Maybe it's going to get easier, you
know, long-term.

Maybe we'll turn out that we're actually
good at this, Jim.

Maybe we're amazing at this.

Mm-hmm.

Trained survival experts, Jim.

Exactly.

I don't think that we suck.

Maybe we should have some trot lines out
there, right, Ted?

I don't know, man.

I don't like the idea.

I do, but if we can catch fish like
this, I'd much prefer it like this.

The thing about all this seaweed... Yo,
look!

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

What the just happened, dude? It's a
teal.

Oh, my God.

Did it just happen?

What the?

This is a green-winged teal. These are
really good-eating ducks.

It just walked right into my campfire,
and I grabbed my freaking tilly hat and

just smacked it and killed it.

With my hat.

It was unbelievable.

This is a sign, Ted.

Some sort of turning point, you know?
Like, finally, our luck has changed,

dude.

Thank the duck for its life. Thank the
fish for its life. And just thank you

for this gift.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Dude, can you believe this has happened?
Yes!

I can't, like, can you believe this,
dude? I still, I just can't get over it.

A pot of fish.

Let's try it out.

People are going to be like, yeah,
right, the production team came and

whipped that duck there or something,
you know?

Oh, my God.

What?

It's so good. I bet.

It's ocean fish, dude.

Mmm.

And when you haven't eaten, like, it
just sends this, like, shockwave rush

through your body of excitement.

Just to think, we're going to eat a
roast duck for breakfast. Yeah.

Jim, if we can eat it like this, we can
stay out here forever, man. Amen.

Simple as that.

What an epic day, eh?

A duck just runs up right here.

Are you kidding me?

I'm going to set a trot line.

Oh, dude.

The hook's embedded in my finger.

I'm worried about Brooke. She is pushing
herself farther than she should.

Let me carry the big one. Why don't you
just keep doing your thing?

I'm just going to keep going. Just take
it easy. We're ready for the maiden

voyage of hope.

The risk of wetting our gear, it could
give us hypothermia, all kinds of

problems. Wait.

Hold on. Hold on!
