THERE'S SOMETHING MOVING. UM...

Narrator: ONE MAN...

AND ONE WOMAN...

I'M NOT LEAVING!

...ALONE FOR 21 DAYS...

WHAT IS THAT?

...WITH NO FOOD...

OH, GOD, I'M FREEZING.

...NO CLOTHES...

AAH!

...NO WATER...

AAH! MOVE!

DO THEY HAVE THE SKILLS AND THE WILL...

HURTS.

...TO OVERCOME THE MOST PRIMAL SURVIVAL CHALLENGE

OF THEIR LIVES...

...NAKED AND AFRAID?

Duck: AW, SHUT UP, YOU DAMN MONKEY.

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

Duck: BEING A LOUISIANA BOY LIKE I AM,

BELIZE IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT.

I'VE NEVER EVER SEEN NOTHING, NO MORE THAN A MAGAZINE PICTURE

OF WHAT I'M SEEING RIGHT NOW.

I DEFINITELY AM JUST WONDERING HOW MUCH FURTHER INTO THE JUNGLE

WE CAN POSSIBLY GET.

Narrator: DEEP IN THE SWAMPY PLAINS

AND THICK SUBTROPICAL VEGETATION OF NORTHWEST BELIZE

LIES THE REGION OF LA MILPA.

THIS ISOLATED JUNGLE IS DENSELY POPULATED

WITH BLACK PALM TREES COVERED IN SHARP

4-INCH THORNS THAT WILL PUNCTURE THE SKIN

AND BREAK OFF, CAUSING SERIOUS INFECTIONS.

HIDDEN IN THE TREES ARE GANGS OF BLACK HOWLER MONKEYS.

THEIR HOWL IS THE LOUDEST OF ALL THE PRIMATES

AND CAN BE HEARD AS FAR AS 3 MILES.

Duck: I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IN THAT JUNGLE NAKED,

BURY MY WHITE ASS ALL OVER THIS PLACE.

A LOT OF GREEN. YOU SEE WHITE? THAT'S ME.

MY NAME IS DUSTIN EUGENE CAMPBELL,

A.K.A. DUCK.

I'M FROM WEST MONROE, LOUISIANA.

MY OCCUPATION IS CONSTRUCTION.

AT HEART, I'M A 37-YEAR-OLD KID.

NOTHING ELSE MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN BEING OUTDOORS.

THAT'S A LITTLE FIRE GOING UP IN THE HOUSE.

DUCK'S BOOM-BOOM ROOM.

ONE OF MY FIRST MEMORIES WAS IN THE WOODS WITH MY GRANDPA.

HE RAISED ME UP TO BE THE STEALTHY HUNTER.

I'M JUST A GOOD OLD COUNTRY BOY THAT'S GOT A LOT OF WILLPOWER

AND A LOT OF DETERMINATION.

THAT WOULD BE 100% ME.

Narrator: DUCK'S YEARS OF HUNTING BIG GAME

SHOULD HELP HIM CARRY THE TEAM,

BUT HIS LIGHTHEARTED DEMEANOR COULD BE A LIABILITY.

HE STARTS OFF WITH A PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING, OR PSR, OF 6.7.

Sarah: I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO MISS MY FAMILY THE MOST.

THIS WILL BE THE LONGEST THAT I'VE BEEN AWAY FROM MY CHILDREN.

MY NAME IS SARAH WILEY.

I'M FROM JACKSONVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.

I'M A FULL-TIME VET TECH.

I WOULD DESCRIBE MYSELF AS A WIFE AND MOM.

BEAUTIFUL.

GROWING UP, WE LEARNED TO HUNT AND FISH AT A VERY YOUNG AGE,

ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT TRACKING AND FORAGING.

MY BIGGEST TEACHER IN LIFE WAS ABSOLUTELY MY MOTHER.

SHE PASSED AWAY JUST A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AGO.

SHE TAUGHT ME THAT WOMEN ARE JUST AS EQUAL AS MEN,

AND WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN ANYTHING

WE PUT OUR MINDS TO.

AND IT DEFINITELY MADE ME WHO I AM TODAY.

Narrator: SARAH IS A MEDICALLY TRAINED ANIMAL EXPERT WITH YEARS

OF PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL EXPERIENCE,

BUT BEING AWAY FROM HER FAMILY

IS GOING TO TEST HER, MENTALLY.

HER STARTING PSR IS SET AT 6.9.

I GUESS WE'RE HERE.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SHOW MY CHILDREN

THAT, YOU KNOW, WE JUST NEVER GIVE UP.

I'M EXCITED. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM

TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT MOMMY CAN DO OUT THERE.

ALL RIGHT.

MY PARENTS DIDN'T RAISE A QUITTER, SO HERE WE GO.

WELL, DON'T NEED NO SHOES.

I DON'T WEAR THEM, ANYWAY.

MY FRIENDS FLAT OUT DON'T THINK I CAN DO THIS.

YOU KNOW, I COME FROM A LAND OF PINE TREES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS STUFF IS BACK HERE,

BUT I'M FIXING TO GIVE HER HELL.

OH, I HEAR MONKEYS HOWLING OUT THERE ALREADY.

THEY'RE PROBABLY TRYING TO GET A LOOK AT MY GOODIES.

PUT YOUR SHADES ON, PEOPLE.

WE'RE GOING IN.

HOWDY, PARTNER. -HI.

WELL, YOU DON'T SEE THIS EVERY DAY IN LOUISIANA,

NAKED LADIES IN THE JUNGLE. -NICE TO MEET YOU.

-NICE TO MEET YOU. -SARAH.

-LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH. -ALL RIGHT.

-NICE TO MEET YOU, SARAH. -NICE TO MEET YOU.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME? -DUSTIN CAMPBELL.

EVERYBODY CALLS ME DUCK WHERE I'M FROM...

-OKAY. -...SWAMPS OF LOUISIANA.

ALL RIGHT. I'M FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

NORTH CAROLINA.

OH, THAT AIN'T TOO FAR UP THE ROAD.

SO WE STILL REDNECK-ING IT UP THERE, HUH?

-WE MAY BE A LITTLE. -OH, YEAH.

WE'LL GET ALONG JUST FINE.

HE'S VERY MUCH FROM LOUISIANA, GOOD OLD COUNTRY BOY.

GOOD DEAL, GOOD DEAL.

I HEAR SOME HOWLER MONKEYS BACK THERE IN THE BACKGROUND.

YOU HEAR THEM? -I HAVE HEARD THEM.

OH, LORD.

I AIN'T NEVER HEARD NOTHING LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE, EVER.

WE NEED TO CHECK THESE THINGS OUT.

-LET'S CHECK THEM OUT. -I'M READY FOR THIS BELIZE TRIP.

Narrator: DUCK AND SARAH HAVE BEEN GIVEN A POT

AND HAVE EACH BROUGHT ONE SURVIVAL ITEM.

SO I BROUGHT A FIRE STARTER.

SWEET.

WHAT I HAVE BROUGHT IS THE OLD LUCKY MACHETE.

DEFINITELY NEED THAT OUT HERE IN THE JUNGLE.

-DEFINITELY. -SO I HAVE A MAP.

SWEET.

SO I'M GUESSING WE'RE SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE.

I BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE CAMP RIGHT THERE.

WATER ON BOTH SIDES OF US.

WATER ON BOTH SIDES, CORRECT.

AIN'T NOTHING TO DO NOW EXCEPT SADDLE UP AND RIDE.

LET'S GO. -LET'S GO.

CHECK THIS JUNGLE OUT.

SWAMPS TO JUNGLE, MAN.

WE'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS.

YOU LEFT LOUISIANA MUCH?

BEEN HUNTING ALL OVER FROM ALASKA TO NEW YORK.

OUT HERE, IT SHOULDN'T BE TOO BAD.

-IT'S DARK AND VERY DENSE. -YEAH.

I COULD SEE WHERE A PUMA OR JAGUAR

COULD JUMP YOU IN THIS THICK STUFF.

-OH, YEAH. -CAN'T SEE 10 FEET OUT THERE.

I HEARD THEY GOT CROCODILES IN THIS AREA.

IF IT'S UNDER 7 FOOT,

I DON'T THINK I AIN'T FIXING TO GIVE IT A SHOT.

ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: THE AMERICAN CROCODILE IS THE LARGEST SPECIES

OF THE CROCODILE FAMILY.

THE 14-FOOT ADULT FEMALES ARE AT THE HEIGHT OF BREEDING SEASON

AND WILL AGGRESSIVELY PROTECT THEIR YOUNG.

THREE SPECIES OF BIG CATS PATROL THE DAMP SITES

AROUND THE STREAM BEDS --

OCELOTS, PUMAS AND JAGUARS.

THESE NOCTURNAL HUNTERS KILL THEIR PREY

BY PIERCING THE SKULL WITH THEIR POWERFUL BITE.

-OH, WATCH THE ANTS. -OH, GOOD GRIEF.

Narrator: SARAH AND DUCK

WILL ALSO HAVE TO SHARE THE JUNGLE FLOOR

WITH THOUSANDS OF INSECTS,

INCLUDING THE VENOMOUS BLACK WIDOW AND BROWN RECLUSE SPIDERS.

BOTH HAVE A POTENTIALLY FATAL BITE.

OH. I'M SEEING A CLEARING UP HERE.

OH, LET'S SEE.

THIS AIN'T BAD, RIGHT HERE.

I DON'T THINK WE'RE TOO FAR FROM THE WATER

BUT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE WATER

WHERE THE CROCODILES CAN'T GET US.

LITTLE BIT OF FIREWOOD,

BUT DEFINITELY GOT THE STUFF WE NEED FOR A GOOD ROOF.

ALL RIGHT. LOOK LIKE HOME?

-LOOKS LIKE HOME. -ALL RIGHT.

LET'S MAKE IT INTO A HOUSE.

HOME SWEET HOME.

Sarah: HE'S WORKING ON FINDING THINGS FOR OUR SHELTER...

TIMBER!

...WHILE I AM THROWING US TOGETHER SOME FIREWOOD.

TIMBER!

Duck: THIS AREA, I'M HOPING, SHOULD PROVIDE US 21 DAYS

OF JUST EASY, RELAXING, NOT TOO HARD.

EVERYTHING HERE SHOULD BE PERFECT.

NOW, HOW'S IT COMING OVER HERE?

*BLEEP*

UGH, GOT ANOTHER ONE, ONE IN EACH FOOT.

Sarah: THERE ARE THORNS EVERYWHERE OUT HERE.

A LOT OF TREES HAVE THEM.

OF COURSE, THEN THEY SCATTER ON THE GROUNDS.

OH, MY...

HOW BIG DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

BIG ENOUGH.

MAN.

OOH-WEE. YEAH. I FEEL IT NOW.

YEAH. IT'S SO BIG.

IT DOESN'T WANT TO COME OUT.

Duck: BY GOD, WHEN SHE STARTED WIGGLING THAT THING

AND MOVING IT AND PULLING ON IT,

OH, MY GOD.

THINKING ABOUT RAINBOWS.

OH, MY. LOOK AT THAT.

IS THAT HOW FAR IT WAS IN THERE?

YES. ONLY THIS WAS STICKING OUT, ONLY THE TINY TOP.

YEAH, I THOUGHT I FELT THAT IN THERE.

THAT'S A PRIZE. YOU SHOULD KEEP IT.

THANKS, BUDDY.

GOD, THAT'S A CHUNK OF WOOD, AIN'T IT?

THAT'S HUGE.

Sarah: I THINK WE SHOULD GO AHEAD

AND GET EVERYTHING SET UP FOR THE FIRE

BECAUSE WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE

TO GET BIG FIREWOOD FOR TONIGHT.

-SO FIRE... -FIRE.

...GOOD OLD DELICIOUS FIRE.

Sarah: THE WEATHER HAS DEFINITELY WARMED UP

VERY QUICKLY OUT HERE.

COLD BEING ONE OF MY BIG CONCERNS,

I THINK AS LONG AS WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THE EVENINGS

AND INTO THE MORNINGS,

WE KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO QUICKLY WARM UP.

-THERE WE GO. -THERE WE GO.

SHE'S A-GROWING.

WE GOT FIRE. HERE WE GO.

WHOO!

Duck: STARTING TO TAKE A LITTLE SHAPE OVER HERE.

JUST WANT TO KEEP IT STURDY.

THIS BABY'S GONNA GO, "WHOOMP."

Sarah: I AGREE.

MY GRANDPA TAUGHT ME HUNTING KNOWLEDGE HE ACQUIRED.

UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID NOT PASS ME ON

HOW TO BUILD A DOGGONE GROUND TREE HOUSES.

EVEN THOUGH DUCK IS ACTUALLY OLDER THAN I AM,

HE HAS THE HAPPY-GO-LUCKY OF A TEENAGE BOY.

MM!

THAT KIND OF KICKS IN MY MOTHERING INSTINCTS.

YOU MAY BE BETTER TO START WITH THE MORE FLEXIBLE END

SINCE IT HAS TO DO MORE WORK.

Duck: AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,

SHE IS BAD TO THE BONE, CALM, COOL, COLLECTED.

WE NEED QUITE A FEW TINY ONES.

-QUITE A FEW MORE, HUH? -YEAH.

SHE'S DEFINITELY IN CHARGE, THE BOSS, BOSS LADY.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK WE GOT THIS IN THE BAG FOR THE NIGHT.

FOR THE NIGHT, AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T GET FREEZING COLD.

OH, MY GOD. THAT'S THE WORST.

THERE'S SOMETHING UNDERNEATH MY BEDDING,

AND I CAN HEAR HIM SCRAPING ALONG THE LEAVES,

BUT WE CAN'T SEEM TO FIND HIM.

Duck: IS IT THAT NICE TARANTULA?

I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S A LOT OF VENOMOUS SPIDERS OUT HERE.

LET'S HOPE THIS ISN'T ONE OF THEM.

HE'LL JUST CRAWL IN YOUR EAR, NO BIG DEAL.

GOOD NIGHT.

THE NIGHT WAS VERY LONG, AND IT WAS COLD.

Duck: NO SLEEP ALL NIGHT.

TWO DAYS, BEEN FEELING LIKE WE OUT HERE TWO WEEKS.

Sarah: AND WE SEEM TO HAVE COLLECTED A FEW BUGS

IN OUR SHELTER.

Duck: OH, GOD. THE BLACK ANTS ARE COMING IN.

Sarah: WATCH, DON'T STEP IN THEM.

THEY'RE RIGHT BY YOUR TOES.

THEY'RE TAKING OVER OUR SHELTER.

Sarah: PROBABLY OUGHT TO GET THAT ASH SPREAD ALL AROUND

OUR SHELTER REAL QUICK.

BUT WE BETTER MOVE FAST BECAUSE THOSE THINGS MOVE FASTER.

FASTER?

WE MOVE FAST, BUT THEY MOVE FASTER.

OKAY.

I THINK IF WE JUST SPRINKLE IT KIND OF IN A PERIMETER TO TRY

AND KEEP THE ANTS FROM CROSSING...

WE'RE HOPING THAT THE ASH LAID DOWN UNDERNEATH OF OUR BEDDING

WILL HELP TO DETER FUTURE ROOMMATES.

Narrator: WOOD ASH DRAWS THE PROTECTIVE MUCUS COATING

FROM THE BODIES OF INSECTS, KILLING THEM.

Duck: MY PARTNER IS THE BEST PARTNER

IN A WILDERNESS SURVIVAL SITUATION.

I COME INTO THIS KNOWING NOTHING.

SHE FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM, AND, HEY, SOLVED IT RIGHT THERE.

I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, TOO.

BUGS DON'T WANT TO COME THROUGH IT,

I'M FIXING TO COVER UP IN IT MYSELF.

RUBBING HOT COALS ON YOU IS LIKE COFFEE, WAKES YOU RIGHT UP.

ALL RIGHT.

I DON'T FEEL THEM SO FAR.

OR MAYBE THEY JUST CAN'T SEE ME

BECAUSE I'M DISGUISED AS SMOKE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE MONKEYS, DUCK?

AW, SHUT UP, YOU DAMN MONKEY.

THOSE GUYS ARE SO LOUD.

MM, SO LOUD.

I GOT NO SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT, STUPID THINGS.

Duck: I FEEL LIKE ABSOLUTE MONKEY POO.

IF THAT FEELS TERRIBLE, THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL.

AW, SHUT UP!

THREE DAYS OF NO EATING.

YOU CAN PHYSICALLY FEEL THE ENERGY

BEING SUCKED OUT OF YOU.

SEEING SOME LITTLE FISH.

NOTHING AWESOMELY BIG, BUT SOME THINGS

ARE LOOKING MIGHTY TASTY.

OH, YEAH, JUICY ONE.

HEY, FISH.

Duck: YOU EVER BENT A FISH TRAP BEFORE?

OUT OF BAMBOO?

AIN'T MUCH OF THAT AROUND THAT.

ANY OTHER WAY?

-I THINK I CAN DO IT. -SWEET.

Sarah: WE ARE TRYING SOME OF THE PALM TREES,

JUST KIND OF SPLITTING THEM DOWN,

SO WE'LL HAVE PRETTY EVEN SECTIONS.

-OOH. -WHAT WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT

IS HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO ATTACH THESE.

WE JUST PULLING IT TIGHT AND START WEAVING?

YOU TEACHING ME. I HAVE NO CLUE.

OKAY. I'LL JUST KEEP MESSING WITH IT.

HE'S KIND OF RELYING ON ME WHEN IT COMES TO SURVIVAL THINGS,

WHICH IS VERY FRUSTRATING.

GOING OFF OF WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM HIM,

MY PARTNER IS DEFINITELY A GOOD HUNTER.

MY PLAN IS TO THROW TERMITES ON THE TOP

WHEN THEY SWIM UP THERE TO GRAB IT.

JUST SMACK THEM IN THE HEAD.

YOU BETTER GET BUSY

IF THAT'S THE WAY WE'RE CATCHING THEM.

Sarah: SO IF WE CAN GET THIS STUFF PULLED DOWN...

NICE.

EASY PEASY.

GOING TO NEED A LOT MORE.

A LOT MORE THAN THIS?

ALL RIGHT.

Sarah: WE ENDED UP USING THE VINES TO BIND THEM

FOR THE MAIN BASKET PIECE.

WE GONNA CATCH SOME BIG FISH.

-YOU GOT IT? -GOT IT.

LOOK AT THIS THING.

Sarah: THEN WE'VE GOT THE TRAP THAT GOES ON THE INSIDE

THAT WILL FUNNEL THEM IN THROUGH A NARROW OPENING.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE FISH WILL LIVE DOWN THERE

UNTIL WE EAT THEM.

Duck: WE JUST NEED THEM TERMITES TO GET WILD.

LOOK AT IT. IT'S A FEEDING FRENZY.

COME BACK IN THE MORNING AND SEE WHAT'S UP.

GAME ON.

ANYTHING? -NO.

AH, CRAP.

Sarah: TOTAL FAIL ON THAT.

BACK TO THE START, PRETTY MUCH.

I DIDN'T KNOW CATCHING MINNOWS COULD BE SO HARD.

I FEEL NAUSEOUS AND KIND OF LIGHT-HEADED, EXTREMELY TIRED.

WHEW. I'M HUNGRY.

MAN.

I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO PUKE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE'S DOING IN OUR CAMP?

LOOKING TO BE MADE INTO DINNER.

OH, YOU FIXING TO HACK HIM UP?

HELL YEAH. WHAT WAS YOU GONNA DO TO HIM, FEED HIM?

QUICK.

FIRST CRAWLING THING WE SAW AROUND HERE.

YEAH.

I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK THERE WAS NO LIVE ANIMALS.

Duck: I'M A HUNTER BY HEART.

MY CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS WAY UP HERE NOW.

WELL, HOPEFULLY HE'LL COME BACK BY, HUH?

YEAH. THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.

I HEARD THAT STOMACH GROWLING.

WAS YOUR STOMACH GROWLING?

I'M HUNGRY!

LET'S DO THIS.

THE FARTHER I GO IN HERE, JUST FOLLOWING THIS GAME TRAIL.

I'M WAITING ON SOMETHING TO TEAR OFF RUNNING.

ME COMING FROM LOUISIANA, I LOVE HUNTING.

SO I DEFINITELY CAN CATCH ONE OF THESE WILD ANIMALS OUT HERE.

UGH, CRAP.

THEY JUST LITTLE FASTER THAN I AM BAREFOOTED.

NEVER ACTUALLY SPEARED NOTHING AND KILLING IT, BUT I'LL TRY.

FOUND THIS FISHING POLE.

IT'S GOT THEM BACKWARDS BARBS ON IT.

DEFINITELY GET SOME FISH NOW.

QUICK.

OH, YOU STUPID BIRD.

UGH, CRAP, MISSED AGAIN.

IMAGINE THAT.

Sarah: IT'S CERTAINLY DISAPPOINTING.

HE KNOWS HOW TO HUNT THE THINGS IN HIS HOMETOWN,

AND HE JUST HAS NO OTHER SURVIVAL SKILLS.

Duck: JUST A CONSTANT FAIL ON EATING.

WE'D STARVE TO ABSOLUTE DEATH OUT HERE.

I'M *BLEEP* HUNGRY.

I THOUGHT I WAS COMING OUT HERE,

GOING TO DOMINATE THE HUNTING, WHICH I AM NOT.

NOTHING IS AS EASY AS IT SEEMS OUT HERE.

SO I WANTED TO FIND A PLACE

WHERE I COULD JUST WALK INTO THE WATER

WITHOUT HAVING TO JUMP IN, AND I FOUND IT.

OH, GOD, THERE HE GOES. HERE HE COMES.

OH, MY GOD.

IT IS VERY EASY FOR HIM TO GET UP ON LAND HERE.

DUCK, WHAT'S BROWN AND FAT

AND HAS 6,004 TEETH?

THE CROCODILE THAT JUST TRIED TO EAT ME.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?

WHOA.

HOLY CRUD.

LARGE AND IN CHARGE, RIGHT THERE.

SEE HOW HIS FEET IS IN THE WATER?

MM-HMM.

IF YOU GET IN THAT WATER WITH HIM,

HE COULD FEEL THAT VIBRATION OF THAT WATER HITTING.

THIS IS SO CREEPY.

WOULD YOU GO AFTER ONE THAT BIG?

-OH, YEAH. -REALLY?

YOU STAY LOW IN THE WATER. HANG ON.

THAT'S SCARY.

IT WOULD BE SO DELICIOUS.

Duck: I'M HUNGRY, AND I'M READY TO CATCH THIS THING.

IF I CAN LOCK THIS CROC DOWN, I CAN SCORE ME

AND MY PARTNER A BIG PROTEIN FEAST.

READY?

I'M FEELING PRETTY WEAK,

BUT I KNOW THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE, YOU KNOW?

I'M CONFIDENT IN MY GATOR-HUNTING SKILLS.

I'M JUST WAITING ON THAT BIG, BIG, BIG SCORE, BIG MEAT.

WHEREVER THERE'S BABIES, THERE'S ALWAYS MAMAS.

*BLEEP*

DUCK!

GOODNESS. I'M GLAD YOU'RE OKAY, DUCK.

Duck: THAT *BLEEP* DIDN'T WORK.

Sarah: ANOTHER DISAPPOINTING LOSS,

AND EVERYTHING IS REALLY STARTING TO HIT PRETTY HARD.

Duck: SO IT'S JUST MORE ENERGY SPENT FOR NOTHING.

I WAS HUMBLED A LITTLE BIT.

SHE DID PLENTY, YOU KNOW, GETTING THE FIREWOOD,

BUILD FISH TRAP, STUFF I DIDN'T HAVE NO IDEA TO DO.

FEEL LIKE I LET HER DOWN.

STUPID MONKEYS, ABOUT FOUR, FIVE DIFFERENT PACKS OF THEM.

Duck: LOSS OF SLEEP IS THE WORST SO FAR.

BEING HUNGRY IS SECOND,

BUT, DEFINITELY, SLEEP IS NUMBER ONE.

Sarah: I DON'T THINK I HAVE GOTTEN 10 HOURS OF SLEEP

IN THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE BEEN HERE.

IT MAKES IT A LITTLE HARDER TO KEEP MYSELF BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE.

IT'S HARD BEING OUT HERE.

Duck: HOWDY, PARTNER.

I SWEAR I SEE A DIFFERENT COLOR HUMMINGBIRD EVERY DAY.

CAN YOU CATCH THEM? WE'LL EAT THEM.

I WOULD NEVER EAT A HUMMINGBIRD.

HUH?

I SAID, "I WOULD NEVER EAT A HUMMINGBIRD."

THEM LITTLE, BITTY DRUMSTICKS.

YOU KNOW, THEM BE DELICIOUS.

NO. THEY REMIND ME OF MY MOM.

COMING INTO THIS CHALLENGE,

I DIDN'T PLAN ON LETTING MYSELF BECOME EMOTIONAL.

MY UNRESOLVED ISSUES KIND OF CAME TO THE FOREFRONT OUT HERE,

AND...YOU KNOW,

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM OUT HERE

ANY BETTER THAN I DID WHEN THEY FIRST CAME UP IN MY LIFE.

I MISS MY MOM.

HEY, PARTNER.

I KNOW YOU'RE FEELING DOWN.

I CAN SEE YOU GOING DOWN.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?

Sarah: YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T DEALT WITH MY MOTHER'S DEATH.

IT WILL BE TWO YEARS IN JUNE SINCE SHE PASSED,

AND I'VE REALLY JUST STRUGGLED TO ACCEPT IT

AND LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT.

I JUST KIND OF DON'T THINK ABOUT IT, DON'T TALK ABOUT IT.

WHEN I'M OUT HERE, AND I SEE, LIKE,

THE HUMMINGBIRDS AND STUFF, LIKE,

TOTALLY REMINDS ME OF MY MOM.

MY MOM ADORED HUMMINGBIRDS,

BUT WHEN PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY CAN,

LIKE, FEEL THEIR PRESENCE OR WHATEVER?

MM-HMM.

I DON'T KNOW IF I EVEN BELIEVE IN THAT.

I DO, 100%.

IF HUMMINGBIRDS WAS MY ONLY WAY,

I'D HAVE 30 HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS.

Sarah: I SUPPOSE BEING ABLE TO FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SOMEONE

THAT YOU HAVE LOST IS VERY SPECIAL.

I DON'T TALK TO MY MOTHER

BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE MY MOTHER CAN HEAR WHAT I SAY.

BUT I HOPE WHILE I'M OUT HERE

THAT I CAN FIND A WAY TO BEGIN TO HEAL MY HEART.

WHILE THE PHYSICAL SURVIVAL IS HARD, THE MENTAL SURVIVAL

IS PROBABLY THE HARDEST PART OF THE CHALLENGE.

YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO CLEAN OUT MY CLOSETS IN MY OWN HEAD.

I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT FOOD SO MUCH IN MY LIFE.

I'M STILL SO TIRED.

ME TOO.

Duck: WHEN WE TRIED THIS MORNING ON A FISHING TRIP,

WE CAUGHT FOUR, LOST THEM.

THESE STUPID LITTLE FISH ARE STARTING TO PISS ME OFF.

BOTH OF US ARE STARVING.

WE GOT TO FIND SOMETHING TO EAT.

IF WE DON'T, I MEAN, THAT'S IT.

I MEAN, IT'S GAME OVER.

SHE WON'T MAKE IT OUT. I WON'T MAKE IT.

Sarah: DUCK DECIDED, THIS MORNING,

TO CHOP DOWN A TREE TO GET TO THE HEART OF PALM.

WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE HE STARTED,

HE JUST STARTED IN ON IT.

THE BIG ONE, HUH? -OH, YEAH.

WE'RE FIXING TO EAT FOR DAYS.

ONE THING IS FOR SURE. THIS THING HERE WON'T SWIM AWAY.

THAT'S TRUE.

I HOPE IT'S GOT EVERYTHING I NEED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER

BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF WORK TO GET IT,

BUT I KNOW I GOT IT TO DO.

HOW LONG YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE?

COULD BE HOURS, COULD BE DAYS.

BUT I KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO EAT.

HERE WE GO.

I THINK HE'S JUST GOING IN HEADFIRST

WITHOUT THINKING AT ALL.

TO BE SO SMALL, THIS THING FEELS LIKE IT WEIGHS 50 POUNDS.

WHOO.

BUT MY HEART SAYS GET THIS PALM, SO THAT'S WHAT WE GOING TO DO.

AIN'T GOING TO LIE, NOW,

THIS THING IS CRACKING EVERY LICK I HIT IT, NOW.

COME ON, YOU SON OF A BITCH.

TIMBER AWAY!

I'M OUT OF HERE.

Sarah: WOW.

HEART OF PALM TIME.

OH, WHAT THE *BLEEP*

WHERE'S THE HEART OF PALM AT?

I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL IN HERE.

Sarah: I THINK IT USUALLY STARTS

WHERE IT STARTS TO BRANCH OFF.

WHERE'S IT SUPPOSED TO BE AT, LIKE, RIGHT HERE OR SOMETHING?

OH, GOD.

IT'S HARD, HUH?

*BLEEP*

I'M NOT SURE IT'S WORTH IT, AT THIS POINT.

I CUT IT DOWN TO EAT IT, AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO,

AND I AM FIXING TO GET IT OUT OF THERE

AT ALL COSTS, EVEN IF IT MAKES ME TAP.

OH, THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU?

FINISHING WHAT I STARTED.

WHAT IF YOU DON'T FINISH THE CHALLENGE

BECAUSE OF ALL THE WORK YOU'RE GOING TO PUT INTO THIS?

THEN I GAVE MY CHALLENGE 100%.

ALL RIGHT.

Sarah: I DON'T THINK THIS IS A MATURE DECISION AT ALL.

I THINK HE'S MAYBE WASTING MORE ENERGY THAN HE'LL EVER GET BACK.

COMING INTO THIS CHALLENGE WITH A BIG EGO,

THINKING I WAS FIXING TO BLOW IT AWAY.

AND YOU WANT TO SHOW YOUR PARTNER YOU'RE BIG.

YOU'RE STRONG, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN GO THE DISTANCE.

WE'RE GOING TO EAT.

WHEW.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I'M TIRED, MY ARM'S TIRED.

I'M STARVING, SO I'M DOING DESPERATE THINGS.

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS CHALLENGE BY MYSELF.

NO. ALMOST THERE. -WE'RE GETTING THERE.

YOU SEE IT?

STILL LOOKS PRETTY WOODY. YOU FEEL IT?

YEAH, WE AIN'T QUITE THERE YET.

STUFF'S HEAVY, HUH?

IT'S GOT A LITTLE MEAT TO IT.

THERE'S THE PIECE I NEED OUT OF THERE.

OH, MAN. I'M CUTTING BUTTER NOW.

OH, SH...

I THINK WE GOT HEART OF PALM HERE.

MM!

IS THAT THE BIGGEST HEART OF PALM YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

WHOO!

WE'LL BE ABLE TO EAT FOR WEEKS OFF OF THIS NOW.

Duck: THE GAME HAS CHANGED.

I'M SEEING A 150-POUND PIECE OF HEART PALM.

THAT'S A LOT OF FOOD.

THINGS ARE GOING OUR WAY.

IT'S DELICIOUS.

I DIDN'T DOUBT THAT YOU WOULD GET TO IT,

BUT I REALLY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD DO TO YOURSELF

GETTING TO IT.

THAT'S A JOB WELL-DONE.

Sarah: DEFINITELY A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT.

IT FEELS REALLY GOOD TO HAVE FOOD IN MY STOMACH

AND ONE LESS THING ON MY MIND.

IT'S BETTER THAN CHICKEN!

I'M STARVING TO DEATH.

OH, YEAH. I SEE.

OH, THAT'S A BIG OLD SUCKER.

HE'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OVER THERE, WHITE BELLY.

Sarah: THERE'S A COUPLE OF THEM.

YOU SEE HUMMINGBIRDS HERE EVERY DAY?

-EVERY DAY. -HUH.

YOU DON'T NOTICE THEM?

YEAH. I NOTICE THEM.

AND DEEP DOWN, I THINK YOU KNOW YOUR MOM

IS WATCHING YOU EVERY DAY,

AND I HOPE YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT.

I DO.

YOU KNOW, WHAT A COINCIDENCE IT IS THAT THE PLACE

THAT WE DECIDE TO BUILD OUR SHELTER

IS UNDERNEATH OF A TREE

THAT THE HUMMINGBIRDS FEED ON HERE.

ALL I CAN THINK IS, "HOW COOL. SHE'S HERE. SHE'S WITH ME."

DAMN SCREAMING MONKEYS UP THERE.

OH, GOOD GRIEF. YOU SEE THAT?

HOLY *BLEEP*

THAT'S A BIG SON OF A BITCH.

OH, MY GOD.

THAT WASN'T THERE YESTERDAY.

THAT IS OUR FISH TRAPS.

OUR CAMP IS THE NEXT THING OVER.

TRULY TERRIFYING.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU THINK HE'S SCOPING US OUT OR SOMETHING AT NIGHTTIME?

THINK THAT'S WHAT THEM DAMN MONKEYS WAS HOLLERING AT?

-OH, NO. -HEY.

CATS ARE SO SNEAKY, TOO.

THEY'RE SO QUIET.

WE'LL NEVER EVEN KNOW

IF HE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF OUR SHELTER.

Narrator: FOR 18 DAYS IN LA MILPA,

DUCK AND SARAH HAVE BATTLED STARVATION...

Sarah: I'VE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT FOOD SO MUCH.

...AND SLEEP DEPRIVATION.

AW, SHUT UP.

WITH YEARS OF HUNTING EXPERIENCE AND A PSR OF 6.7,

THE ONLY THING DUCK HAS MANAGED

TO TAKE DOWN HAS BEEN A PALM TREE.

TIMBER!

WITH A PSR OF 6.9,

SARAH'S SURVIVAL KNOWLEDGE HAS CARRIED THE TEAM.

Duck: SHE FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM, SOLVED IT.

Narrator: BUT THEY CONTINUE TO FACE SERIOUS THREAT

FROM PREDATORS.

Duck: *BLEEP*

Narrator: THEIR PSRs WILL BE REEVALUATED

IF AND WHEN THEY MAKE IT OUT OF THE JUNGLE.

Sarah: WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE IS HUNTING US?

Duck: WHATEVER THAT TRACK WAS, ABOUT THAT WIDE,

LOOKED LIKE A CAT.

IT KEPT ME UP LAST NIGHT.

SOUNDED LIKE IT JUMPED THAT RIVER,

WALKED RIGHT UP THROUGH HERE AND STOPPED.

WE'VE HAD A 120-POUND CAT, 100 YARDS FROM WHERE WE SLEEP.

THERE'S STUFF OUT HERE TO KILL YOU.

YOU KNOW, LAST NIGHT IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH,

BUT, HEY, I'M STILL HERE.

BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP.

WHOO. THAT WILL WORK.

ONE MORE NIGHT OF THIS JUNGLE.

ONE MORE NIGHT.

OH, MAN.

IT'S JUST BEEN ONE HELL OF A RIDE.

GOODBYE, BELIZE,

BECAUSE BELIZE ME, YOU'VE BEEN TOUGH.

I'LL SHOW THEM HOW IT FEELS.

IT IS DAY 21 IN THE MORNING.

WHY DID THE DUCK CROSS THE RIVER?

TO CATCH A CROCODILE.

TO GET TO THE EXTRACTION POINT.

OH, YEAH, THAT TOO.

OH, YEAH. LET'S LOOK AT THAT MAP.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT.

A NEW CROC HOLE.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LONG SWIM.

I GUARANTEE YOU, I CAN KEEP THEM CROCS OFF OF YOU.

OH, GOODNESS.

PUT YOUR CONVERSE IN YOUR BAG.

OH, YEAH.

SARAH MADE THESE SHOES. THEY'RE AWESOME.

WE'RE READY TO GO.

-DAY 21. -LET'S DO IT.

IT'S DARK AND VERY DENSE.

ALL RIGHT. THERE'S KIND OF A HOLE UP HERE,

AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH HERE IT'S VERY DICEY.

UGH, THORN NUMBER ONE.

Sarah: WE'RE WALKING ON AN UNBEATEN PATH.

OUR FEET ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO BE IN BAD SHAPE.

AAH! THORN NUMBER TWO.

EVERY STEP JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S TEARING MY FEET APART.

*BLEEP*

UGH. I'M SO READY TO GET OUT OF HERE.

-ANTS. -HUH?

THE WHOLE THING HAS ANTS.

OH, MY GOSH.

YEAH. THEY'RE STILL ALL THE WAY UP HERE.

OH *BLEEP*

OH, MY GOD. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.

Duck: THEM SON OF BITCHES AIN'T GOT NO MERCY.

THERE AIN'T NO OFF BUTTON.

THEY DON'T DO *BLEEP* BUT WALK AROUND AND ATTACK YOU.

UH *BLEEP*

AAH! DAMN IT.

AH, MAN. LOOK AHEAD.

WATER. -ALL RIGHT.

THE GIANT CROC HOLE.

AH, IT STINKS.

Sarah: LOOKING AT THE WATER MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS

BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE ARE CROCODILES HERE.

WE COULD SWIM RIGHT HERE

AND JUST GO STRAIGHT ACROSS TO OUR "X."

-MNH-MNH. -HUH?

MNH-MNH. LOOK HOW MURKY THAT WATER IS.

SO YOU'RE SCARED OF THE CROC?

-YEAH. -REALLY?

LET'S TRY AND WALK AROUND IT SOME.

THE FARTHER WE WALK THIS WAY,

THE FARTHER WE GET AWAY FROM OUR DESTINATION.

WOULD YOU TRUST ME IF I SAID, "I GOT YOU"?

YOU'VE BEEN LEADING THIS WHOLE WAY.

WOULD YOU LET ME LEAD YOU ACROSS RIGHT THERE?

BUT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THIS WATER, EITHER.

IT'S TO VICTORY.

DO YOU TRUST ME? -I DO.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU COMING?

OH *BLEEP*

KEEP SWIMMING. LET'S GO.

DAMN.

LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

YOU MAKING IT?

I'M TRYING. GIVE ME A PUSH.

PHEW. ALL RIGHT.

LET'S FINISH THIS OUT.

WE'VE GOT TO BE GETTING CLOSE.

IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS UP THERE?

IT LOOKS LIKE A ROAD.

THAT'S GOT TO BE US. -THAT'S US!

-WE DID IT. -WHOO.

-OH, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE. -LET'S DO IT.

DAMN IT, I DID IT.

THIS CHALLENGE IS DEFINITELY AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER.

LUCKILY, I HAD AN AWESOME PARTNER.

YES!

TAKE US HOME.

Sarah: YOU KNOW, I CAME OUT HERE.

I GUESS I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT THE TEAM PLAYER

THAT I WAS PUT OUT THERE WITH WAS GOING TO BE.

Duck: I'LL CALL HER EVERY NOW AND AGAIN AND SEE

IF SHE'S STILL THAT FREE-SPIRITED WOMAN,

YOU KNOW, THAT WE LEFT THIS CHALLENGE WITH.

CAN YOU BELIEVE WE MADE IT? -FINALLY.

Sarah: WHEN I GET HOME, I WANT TO FIND RESOLUTION

IN THE GRIEVING PROCESS OF LOSING MY MOTHER

AND PUSH TO GO AHEAD

AND MAKE THIS MY NEXT BIG CHALLENGE.

Both: WE DID IT!

WHOO!

Narrator: 21 DAYS IN THE JUNGLE CAUSED SARAH TO LOSE 10 POUNDS.

SHE PROVIDED THE TEAM WITH NECESSITIES LIKE FIRE...

WHOO!

...AND SHELTER WHILE DEALING

WITH THE OVERWHELMING LOSS OF HER MOTHER.

HER PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING RISES FROM 6.9 TO 7.4.

DUCK'S PHYSICAL EXERTION CAUSED HIM TO LOSE 25 POUNDS.

ALTHOUGH HE COULD NOT PROVE HIS SKILLS AS A BIG GAME HUNTER...

TIMBER AWAY!

...DUCK MAINTAINED A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

AND SCORED THE TEAM A HUGE FOOD SOURCE

WHEN THEY NEEDED IT THE MOST.

HIS PSR RISES FROM 6.7 TO 7.1,

PROVING THEY BOTH HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE...

GOODBYE, BELIZE.

...NAKED AND AFRAID.
