All language subtitles for Naked.and.Afraid.S15E07.1080p

My name is Janis,
I am a set medic

for Naked and Afraid.

I'm at Bush Camp.
Here's our go bag.

Emergency evacuation
backboard.

My name is Viktor.
I'm a set medic

for Naked and Afraid.

And I'm probably one of
the biggest fans of the show.

It's on most of the time.

There has never been
a crew member to attempt

a 21 day challenge...

until now.

until now.

In just a few short weeks,
I'm going to be embarking

on my own 21 day challenge.

I'm usually on set.
Currently I'm at home
in South Africa

and I'm preparing
for my own 21 day challenge

in Guyana.

Oh, my God. [laughs]

Rock and roll.

Coming for you, Guyana.

[growls]

I'm really nervous.

Really excited.

Guyana, it's beautiful.
It's lush, but it's wet.

The rainy season
has definitely started

and I think she's going to be
a cruel mistress.

She's not going
to be forgiving.

It is humid here
and it is buggy.

And we're already getting
eaten up a little bit.

I am very excited.
It's just gonna be

the hardest thing
I've ever done.

I'm here for a taste
of my own medicine.

[thunderclap]

[narrator] The rainy season
of Guyana's Rupununi region

[narrator] The rainy season
of Guyana's Rupununi region

magnified by
the equatorial front.

Daily torrents
of precipitation pound

the landscape.

At its peak, a single month
can see over 13 inches

of rainfall

engorging savannas
and flooding rivers.

Guyana is unpredictable.

It's hot and sunny one minute
and then appearing monsoon

like the next.

It's pouring rain
and I really don't care.

Because I know I'm about
to meet my partner

and that makes me feel better
about everything.

Let's do this thing.

Looks like we are here
and rain has stopped.

Time to get naked.

As a medic, I have seen
survivalists struggle
physically

and mentally.

I feel like that that
is an advantage.

I have no illusions about
the difficulty of
this challenge.

I have no illusions about
the difficulty of
this challenge.

Feels much better.

This is very strange.
I am usually a part
of the crew.

And I am not used
to being on this side.

I'm about to meet my partner.
It's the great unknown.

And I think that's going to be
my most important piece
of gear.

That I'll have in Guyana.

-Hi.
-Hello.

-Hi.
-Hello.

-Hi.
-Am I glad to see you.

Hi.

-My name is Viktor.
-Hi, I'm Janis.

-Janis, I'll remember that.
-Yeah.

It's a pleasure.
I apologize for the view.

It'll, it'll warm up later.

It'll get better.

-I'm from Virginia.
-You're from Virginia.

-Yes.
-What do you do for a living?

I'm a paramedic.

Holy crap, same here.

You...

Oh, my God,
are we a double medic.

Oh, my God,
are we a double medic.

Me too.

Holy [bleep]

-Okay, so...
-Okay. [laughs]

Well, there you go.
So I can see you know [bleep]
and stuff.

Absolutely.

It's a little strange being
on the wrong side
of the camera.

Yeah.

That made me feel so elated
that there's someone out here

with me who can totally
sympathize and empathize with

the challenges that we are
about to face.

I've done the XL in Louisiana
and XL in Peru.

-Ready for this?
-Yes, I've been ready
for a while.

-Here we go.
-Let's do this.

Wow, you did a number
on your balls, bro.

-Is it out?
-It's out.

Freedom!

If I can survive
treating EJ's balls,
I can survive this.

I am no stranger to pushing
my body.

I completed three marathons.
I have participated in

multiple obstacle course races
including something called
the Death Race.

multiple obstacle course races
including something called
the Death Race.

I don't think
it's a good weekend

if you don't sign
a death waiver.

I have been an EMS
for 15 years.

A little peek into my office.

That cot right there
is already 10 times
more comfortable than

the ground is going
to be in Guyana.

I know that already.

It started off as a joke
amongst us medics that

we should take on
the challenge as survivalist

and it stuck with me.

So here I am.

[narrator] While lacking
in primitive survival
techniques,

Janis brings medical
knowledge and behind
the scenes experience.

Janis brings medical
knowledge and behind
the scenes experience.

Her primitive survival rating
or PSR is set at 5.1.

Yeah, I do the ones
in southern Africa.

Okay.

Three there, I did
a tri once there.

And then two and just two 21s.

I enjoyed my time
as a medic on
Naked and Afraid.

I loved every second.

Have you guys peed in front
of each other, in here?

No, you're not thinking...

Now it's time for me
to take on the 21 days

and get on.

Being an outdoorsman.
It started in the military

where I was the medical
specialist

where I was the medical
specialist

in the Parachute Battalion
called the Pathfinders.

You had to be
a good outdoorsman.

So treating the contestants
on these challenges.

It's been a dream of mine
because it's my favorite
TV show.

There's not a single episode
of Naked and Afraid that

I haven't seen.

it definitely gives me
an advantage

in firsthand knowledge
of what happens on the show.

So I won't make
the big mistake of thinking,

I'm going to make this place
my bitch.

[narrator] Like Janis, Viktor
has limited survival skills,

but his military history
along with his Naked
and Afraid medic background,

give him an edge.

give him an edge.

His PSR starts at 5.7.

I see your bags over there.
Should probably go
check them out

-and get rolling.
-Absolutely.

All right.

We're going to be
the first crew members

to attempt
the 21 day challenge.

And it's kind of cool.

[narrator] In addition to
their personal items,

Janis and Viktor are provided
with a pot,

fire starter and map.

Some water, some fishing,
rock formation.

Possible option for shelter.

Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
Especially for tonight.

-Okay, let's do it.
-Stick your pot in it?

-Okay, let's do it.
-Stick your pot in it?

Let's to do it. Let's go.

[narrator] For the first time,
two crew members

with extensive behind
the scenes knowledge,

but limited survival
experience take on

the 21 day challenge.

Janis and Viktor are dropped
at the base of Guyana's
Kusad mountain

where steep ridges
of lush jungle converge

with an unending savannah.

It's here they'll have
to contend with

the rainy season's most
sinister side effect,

swarms of freshly
hatched insects,

including disease
carrying mosquitoes.

including disease
carrying mosquitoes.

Whose bites can fester
for up to a month

causing a debilitating
buildup of histamine
in their human prey.

On land, the giant centipedes
venomous bite leads to

unbearable pain in humans
and death to smaller prey.

But nothing is more dangerous
than the Jaguar.

Reaching upwards
of six feet long,

it's capable of taking down
prey four times its size.

Can you see the...
Can you see where makes
this side?

Can you see the...
Can you see where makes
this side?

-Yes.
-And you got the little tree.

-You're right in front of it.
-Yes.

Can you see rocks?
A flat rock?

[Janis] Okay, I see that...
I see what you're talking
about, yes.

[Viktor] Definitely a spot
to build a shelter...

And the map show that
there is a waterway
by there,

-so great water source.
-Yeah, hopefully.

We need to get to
our destination soon,

so that we can quickly
establish a shelter

and to get a fire going
and to replenish the fluids

that we've lost
during this hike.

It does not feel we're getting
any closer though.

It does feel like we'll be
walking forever.

Featureless terrain makes it
look like you're not making

-any progress, huh?
-Yes.

-any progress, huh?
-Yes.

Every 10 minutes when you look
up it stalls.

It's still the same,
it's...

Yeah, your feet doing
all right?

My feet are all right.

[Janis] So one good thing
about both of us being
medical professionals,

we can recognize if something
just needs, you know,

be monitored and just rub
some dirt in it

or if it needs to call
for the medic.

-Little blackflies
are waking up.
-Yep.

Yep.

Oh, no.

Right.

Whatever works.

I know that mosquitoes like
O blood types.

Type O hero, we are delicious.

We are in high demand
from the blood banks

and by insects.

[narrator] In the same way
that specific foods
like garlic

can excrete through pores
and repel insects.

A specific blood type
has the opposite effect.

Mosquitoes detect and prefer
type O blood

making those with it
a bigger target.

-It's getting a lot closer.
-Cool.

-It's getting a lot closer.
-Cool.

Oh, wow. Look at this.

It's definitely worth
coming through there.

-Found the river.
-That's our water source
over there.

I think we're running out
of time to bowl that shot.

We really need fire,
so tonight we can have water.

We are searching
for different locations for us

to establish a shelter.

But most importantly, we need
to get our fire going

before it gets too late.

So this seems like
a good place,

but there's not enough time
to build a shelter tonight.

Not no to these we didn't have
enough time to build
a shelter tonight.

We're just going
to have to rough it.

I don't think we need
to stress about
anything permanent.

Temporary fire spot,
for now we can...

We can pick and choose
and pick everything
perfectly tomorrow.

We know that we have water
that's over there

readily accessible,
so we don't have
to hike too far

and I'm starting to get
a little bit thirsty.

Before we can purify
our water,

we need a fire,

so we're getting that done,
priority one.

so we're getting that done,
priority one.

It's a bit of a mission to get
the whole thing going.

It's not perfectly drying,
but let's see,

let's see what we got.

Um...

I think time's kind of
running out on us now.

Getting this fire going
is this is similar to what

you do, you know,
as even my life as
a paramedic.

Your tools are gonna be
packed out in
the correct sequence

and ready, you know,
once it's going,

there's really no time
to waste.

-Look at the...
-I just cut it.

Okay, we're going to build
a leaf fire until
this wood dries out and...

We have fire.

Come on, let's celebrate.

Do you want me to flex?

That's my hero right there.

It is a good day. I got
a good partner.

I got a good fire.
So I don't think
we can actually...

bitch too much.

Nice pot going on.
Hope I'm not burning myself.

Nice pot going on.
Hope I'm not burning myself.

And that's a hot fire.

-What are these?
-I don't know.

I'm getting eaten alive.
Holy crap.

Yeah, I feel like these are
the ones that come out

-just as...
-Any...

The bugs are intense.

There goes the crew.

We used to go with them.

We used to go with them.

Come back.

Oh, my God, this might have
been a huge mistake.

-[insects buzzing]
-Oh, [bleep]

God, I wanna lie down

-Yeah. It's too buggy
right now.
-but it's impossible.

I'm trying to not scream.

Oh, they hurt.

It's...

[narrator] Due to
the different
circadian rhythms

of Guyana's flying insects.

When one species retires
for the evening,

another waits to take
their place.

another waits to take
their place.

Oh, I might peel them
off my skin.

Oh. They're bad.

But here we are, night one.

Janis feeding the bugs.

And doing a [bleep] job of it.
[bleep]

Okay, I guess have faith
in the fire.

[thunderclap]

-It's starting to rain.
-Hmm?

-It's starting to rain.
-Hmm?

It's starting to rain.

Big rain.

[thunderclap]

Our fire's pretty much DOA

now that it's raining.

Tonight, is gonna suck.

Oh, my [bleep]

It is nonstop.

Literally nonstop.

[Janis] Our fire is long gone.

All that work.

We lost our fire halfway
through the evening.
We got wet.

So the plan for today
is to ensure that

we have a decent fire tonight
and to ensure that

we have a waterproof shelter
in the place of our choosing.

-Let's walk around this thing
once, you and I.
-Right.

Why are the bugs even worse
all of a sudden?

Why are the bugs even worse
all of a sudden?

[narrator] On a leather press,
the number of Guyana's
blood sucking insects

can vary from day to day.

But it's in the 24 hour period
after significant rains that

their numbers
and their appetite
for food explode.

That thing maybe offers
something just to natural...

-closed shelter,
you know what I mean?
-Yeah.

I'm just gonna quickly pop
in there to see what's...

Holy [bleep]

-Hey.
-Yeah.

-Hey.
-Yeah.

Now you got to get in here.

You can actually stand up,
it goes high up in the back.

Three Starship Enterprise.

It's solid stone.
It's waterproof.

It's windproof, but it's got
various entrances and exits.

So we can create a draft
in it.

We can make a fire in it.
We can reflect heat

because it's off stone.

And we can trap smoke
in there, so we can combat
the bugs.

It's an absolute game
changer for us.

I'll go fetch the wood
from the old fire

and we can dry it
in the background.

We can now actually, you know,
focus our attention on

getting comfortable
and getting wood

and hopefully, hopefully get
a flame tonight.

Okay, If I can just do this.

One magnesium run.

[bleep] Can't we get it going?

[grunts] Come on, very good.

[mutters] It just can't take
this [bleep] little bit.

[sighs]

It's all important to get
the fire.

It's our only source of light,
heat, bug repellent,

water purification.

There's nothing
more important.

That tinder is too damp.

So I am scared.

Yeah, this is the, this is
the nightmare scenario.

I mean a night without fire

it's easily [bleep]

[Janis speaking]

[Viktor speaking]

Yeah.

-Oh, this hurts bad.
-What?

Everything.

Just cramped up and shivering.

It is day three
and I no longer feel like
a crew member.

I am a straight up survivalist
for Naked and Afraid.

I am a straight up survivalist
for Naked and Afraid.

This is just thoroughly
disgusting.

I already know from being
a medic on these challenges

that mud and ash do nothing
to help with these bites.

There are bugs gathering
around my already open wounds

some day three
low right there.

And I'm getting sleepy.

I'll get started on getting
kindling into the sun.

Janis, she was cold
last night. She was
really cold last night.

Janis, she was cold
last night. She was
really cold last night.

The bugs really love her.
The only way that
I can support her

is if I can get a fire going
to keep ourselves
comfortable tonight.

The weather today lends itself
to actually drying
our tinder properly,

so I hope we'll actually have
good success.

Let's make some fire.

I've got these very fine
twiggies which are bone dry.

They'll burn nicely.

Okay.

Try not to get too excited
too early, but...

I think we have a fire.

I think we got a fire.

We have a lot of wood
we can toss on there

to get it, like, nice and big
to smoke out all these bugs.

We doing the double fire,
one on this side.

One on this side.

So we'll see what's gonna
happen tomorrow.

Vicious.

We're burning
two fires, but...

I'm still getting eaten up.

These bugs are a completely
different level of cruel.

I...

am torn from the floor up.

am torn from the floor up.

I've got bites everywhere.

There is not a spot where
there is not a welt.

-Oh, mother... trucker.
-What?

I'm bitten.

I've seen a lot of people
bug bitten, but hers
is definitely the worst

I've seen on any challenge.

We're not talking 1000s,
we're talking hundreds
of 1000s of bug bites.

If anything's gonna take her
out of a challenge,

it is going to be that.

So it was so with her being
ill and inflamed.

Getting in some proteins
is essential.

Getting in some proteins
is essential.

I noticed that there's
a very large lizard

that's run up the same tree
five or six times.

So I'm gonna catch
that bugger.

If she gets an entire meal
of protein in,

I think it's going to...
I think it's going
to work for her.

We've made a bunch of nooses
and he has to run through

one of the loops.
He's got little spiky feet.

He's gonna catch himself
on it.

And I'm feeling confident
this will work.

[rain pattering]

Okay, this is not a good rain.
This...

I'm gonna rain
the whole day type of rain.

[Janis] Yeah.

It drips on the fire.
It drips you when we sleep.

It's dripping right on me.

Keeping up our fire going.
It's just not feasible.

Come on, Jesus Christ,
what is still biting?

Janis...

she hasn't laid down
in 24 hours.

She can't. Her entire back,
the legs, buttocks, shoulders

She can't. Her entire back,
the legs, buttocks, shoulders

and her flanks are covered
in insect and mosquito bites.

She's having
a histamine reaction to it.

I am worried it's going
to reach a point where

it's going to take her down.

Ooh, it's cold.

I can just try and windbreak
for you, but [bleep]

Do I want to tap out?
No, but...

Can I do anything
to make it better?

We're doing everything
that we know that we can.

But I just want it to stop.

[bleep], I'm sorry
there's nothing more I can do.

These bumps are so painful
and so bad.

I don't want to get to a point
where I have to be
medically tapped

because I didn't get
the inflammation
under control.

I have a little bit of irony
in that the med's gonna call
for a medic.

This is something.

-Yeah.
-Like...

It's a lot.

It's painful, itchy,
burning.

It's painful, itchy,
burning.

Do you feel like
you're getting fever?

No, no. Just hot
where the bites are.

It's very interesting to be
on the other side of it

getting checked by
the set medic.

-Do you have
any trouble in breathing?
-Mm-mmm.

I'm gonna give you
an antihistamine.

From...

[narrator] To help her body
adjust to the onslaught
of inflammation.

Janis is given a small dose
of antihistamines.

As her system builds immunity,
additional bites should react

As her system builds immunity,
additional bites should react

with less intensity.

Thank you very much.
I appreciate your time.

-Thanks, doctor,
appreciate it.
-All right.

[Janis] If I met a survivalist
in this situation looking like

how I am. I would immediately
give them Benadryl

because when
you're this inflamed,

it's the worst sunburn feeling
combined with the flu.

But I'm gonna take
a stroll.

I think that lizard go
hung up
in that little trap.

These little nooses,
damn it we need
to find some food.

These little nooses,
damn it we need
to find some food.

It's really knocking us now.

We'll check it every day
and at some stage,

we'll have everyone
hanging in it.

-[water splashing]
-[bleep]

Don't know what it is.

There's something splashing
and fighting in the water
behind us.

No frickin' way.

No frickin' way.

[gasps] Oh, my God.

I went in there and I could
see something fighting

and I stabbed it.

I got a frog, a big thing
which was busy

being envenomated
by a centipede.

[bleep] look at this.
It's like a chicken drumstick.

[Janis] This is the most
beautiful thing
I've seen in days.

[Viktor] Ah, just smell it.

Are these feet sizzling?

Are these feet sizzling?

That was much needed.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Holy crap, it got stuck on it.

-It tastes like chicken.
-Oh?

Not too shabby, my friend.

Holy [bleep]
Janis, this is really good.

I'm still chewing.
I'm so bad doing it
beside you.

This is definitely one of
the best things that's

This is definitely one of
the best things that's

happened to me
since we've been here.

Today, my plan. I would like
to get fish basket started.

We leave it out there
for the remainder
of the time here.

Well, we should get
something.

Right now, I'm feeling
a little bit better.

Antihistamines seem to help
a little bit.

After you get your day's meal,
I have a little more energy.

But Viktor and I just
because we have
this big protein score,

we're not going to stop.

We're not going to just
let this be our last meal.

We're not going to just
let this be our last meal.

We're still going to fight
for our food.

All right.

Try and find vines
that won't crack.

Protein is definitely
the focus of this day.

Janis is gonna go on
a fishing trip.

But for me, the lizard snare
doesn't work.

I'm thinking there's got
to be something else

to snatch a lizard.

Cut a few pieces of wood
for the dead falls

I wanna set.

for the dead falls
there's a lot,
you know,

for the dead falls
there's a lot,
you know,

measuring the amount
of all the dead falls.

This is the most rudimentary.

It just needs a lot
of balancing work.

And the crux is that
little stick which
is reaching out

and you don't need
a lot of pressure

if that thing goes down.

Et voila.

This is going to be
the opening right here

and I'm weaving the vines
that we found into it

to create the cone shape.

to create the cone shape.

By the end of the day,
we can go ahead

and get this deployed.

All right, so there is
our submerged trap.

It is in a pretty
shallow area.

We'll check it tomorrow
night and I'm pretty
frickin' hungry.

Yeah.

Right, just check
the fish trap.

She's still submerged nicely.

Nope.

There's a bit of bait
at the bottom.

Damn it.

Holy crap.

We're in dire need
when it comes to food.

So, yeah, are we going
to destroy this thing.

It's quick energy,
and hopefully something
delicious.

It's quick energy,
and hopefully something
delicious.

It's a massive bloody thing.

Yeah.

I want to take it down.

Have you ever gotten a hive
before?

Normal bees.

Yeah, I've never done that.
I usually avoid
stinging insects

These are stingless.

[narrator] Stingless
Meliponini bees,

while not always producing
honey will defend their nest

if provoked.

Despite having stingers
that aren't fully formed,

they can inflict powerful
and painful bites.

All right, there's
a call to glory.

Oh, man.

There doesn't seem to be
anything coming out.

It just seems to just be
kind of crumbling.

Oh, yeah.
And they're pissed off.

Ah! They do.

Whoa. [laughs]

Whoo! Run!
Go, go, go, go.

Stingless, my ass.

Oh, yeah,
and they're pissed off.

Whoa. Whoo! Run!

Go, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go.

Oh bitches!

Stingless, my ass.
Oh, they tore me nut sack.

Oh, my balls.

The bees are following.
They're extremely aggressive

and vindictive.

So far, you know, the general
and the two colonels

haven't had any any bites,
but of course, the bees

they, they just changed it.

They're following me.

[bleep] There's a cloud
with me.

It's moving.
That wasn't our best idea.

It's moving.
That wasn't our best idea.

So sting-lessness doesn't mean
that they don't bite.

Gotten bitten,
about 50 times now.

-My God.
-And you as well.

Ah.

Just got another one.

And sounds like we're back
to the drawing board

for a more immediate
food source.

[Viktor] You feeling okay
this morning?

[Janis] Really weak.

[Janis] Really weak.

I'm sorry.

You don't need
to say [bleep]

I'll take care of you.

Easy as pie because the day
is gonna come

you're gonna have
to take care of me

and I'm the biggest baby
you've ever seen.

-So I'll take care of you.
Don't worry.
-Thank you.

-That's, that's not good.
-Mm-mmm.

And for me that's,
that's pathological.

And for me that's,
that's pathological.

Give me your arm.

My heart rate's really
come down.

I'm on about 65.

Um, Janis and I have
to condition to monitor
each other.

I'm struggling to catch yours.

-Am I rebounding?
-Yeah.

This is a combination
of lethargy.

Not eating well,
not drinking well.

It becomes a bit of a risk,
so we're going to...

we're going to fix that.
Get our pressures up again.

Actually thinks it's not
a bad chunk of wood

to make a bow.

To catch this lizard,
we've got some dead falls,

but they're clever
they're wily.

but they're clever
they're wily.

So I need a bit more power.

Thinking of making a bow
like the native bows.

So it's gonna be very
short draw, very long arrow

because I don't need
to propel it very far.

It needs to go a foot

and then I'll be able
to straighten them
relatively quickly.

Over the fire.
The onslaught

taking potshots at
these lizards.

-Okay, let's do this.
-Give them hell.

I'm upset that
I can't be there right now

I'm upset that
I can't be there right now

for my partner who is running
around doing all this stuff

and here I am tired
and I'm dizzy standing up,

but I am eager to return
the favor because I know that

his limitless energy
does have a limit.

Can you see me on the corner?

Touched him.

That was relatively close-ish,
but I'm happy.

That was relatively close-ish,
but I'm happy.

So you can see it's a toy,
it's no big impact,

but if I had a...
four pronged tine.

I would have had that one,
so just a few small
modifications

and I'll have a dead lizard.

I'm so frickin' weak.

Even sitting up is a lot
and I had to lay right
back down.

We gotta get something
I can eat.

Janis didn't come out
of the shelter today.

We need food.
A high protein score,

you know, today or tomorrow,
otherwise it will reach
a crisis point.

See that arrow's a bit heavy.

I'm also feeling the...
I'm also feeling lethargic.

I'm tired and weak and weak
and I haven't been
this lethargic ever.

-[rain pattering]
-[thunderclap]

It's raining.

Yeah.

Can't believe they're back.

[bleep] just keep on coming.

-Yeah?
-Oh, yeah.

I don't know.

Oh, it's too much.

I'm going down.

Wait.

Hey, hey, hey.

-...Oh, I think I sat on one.
-I know

-All right, here we go.
-I had to deal with
too many balls experiences

in Louisiana
and no, no testicles.

-Yeah, uncle EJ's...
-No testicular injuries here.

I'm getting warned.

I've had thorns in them.

I'm not supposed
to get thorns.

Especially Christina
and Brittany.

Viktor always seems to come up
with interesting names

for his male genitalia

and I am actually at a loss
for words about

and I am actually at a loss
for words about

what to say about that.

[Viktor] Stick in the berries.

The tree with adjacent
boulders.

The Presleys.

We're talking about
Elvis, Priscilla
and Lisa Marie.

All of 'em.

Ah.

Hey, hey, hey.

You almost fell to the front
of the fire.

Have I?

Yeah.

Viktor's skin is clammy.
He's breathing really fast.

[groans]

I recognize the signs
of an anxiety attack

and I'm trying
to calm him down

and I'm trying
to calm him down

and making sure
that he's okay.

You're not cool by far.

Hey, come on. Come here.

Over here.
All the way down here.

I had done stuff there...
for a little bit too like

you're about to have
a seizure.

Last night was probably
the worst night of my life.

I don't think I've ever been
so bug bitten

and despondent that
I actually go into
a bloody panic

and I'm serious,
if you weren't there,

I'd probably be dead
because nobody finds you
till the next morning.

It would've been ugly.

It would've been ugly.

I'm so glad that you
were here.

I'm thankful to Janis.
The two of us will have
a bond for life.

That's my word.

Pushing through 21 together.

Of course.

Viktor is pushing through.
I know he's getting really,
really drained.

But I'm so glad
I could be there for him

just like he has been there
for me.

Holy son of a... crap.

[bleep] tortoise.

-Babe.
-What?

-Babe.
-What?

I [bleep]

You're not...
we've got a decent meal.

Oh, my God.

So ready for the tortoise
to be found

and it's truly a game changer.

Yay. Yay!

Oh, thank you.

I am a flurry of emotions.

She could not have arrived at
a better time.

This meal will help us
in so many ways.

Holy crap.

Holy crap.

This is good.

Looking at 150 grams
of pure meat each.

I'm still waiting for
that rush to kick in,

but my brain's
already happening.

Take a long, slow sip.

Taste the nutrients.

This was a great win.
I know it sounds so cliche,

but it really is
a game changer.

It's day 21.

It's after four
in the morning.

Few hours to extraction.

Never again
will I be bug bitten.

Day 21 is here.

Day 21, day 21.

My God.

For once it's actually, like,
clear, sunny skies

and it's gonna be a hot one.

So we're gonna move
with a purpose today.

So we're gonna move
with a purpose today.

Yeah, definitely. Extraction.

There's a bit of a mountain
in front of us.

It's gonna be an intense day,
full of surprises,

but I'm not scared of it
at all.

-All right.
-Okay, so we're gonna head
for the X.

Maps oriented.

Looks like he's a couple
of river crossings and a spot

of savannah
that we have to cross.

It's going to be a long trip
walking through the savannas.

It's going to be a scorcher
today, so let's get it done.

Okay.

[narrator] To extract,
Janis and Viktor

must hike three
and a half miles

from the base
of Kusad Mountain

through waterlogged savannas,
fields of sharp razor grass,

through waterlogged savannas,
fields of sharp razor grass,

and unpredictable floodways
before reaching a road back

to civilization.

Leaving this savannah,
we plowed through this
for 21 days.

-It's not for... it's better.
-Ooh, [laughs]

-It's better.
-I was not expecting that.

It's about a 50 yard stretch.

And then we'll be out
of this cut grass.

-It's cutting in through
all my broken, open bug bites.
-Oh, yeah.

But, name of the game.

It's making us bleed
which is attracting more bugs.

It's making us bleed
which is attracting more bugs.

-That's painful.
-Okay.

So we are so itchy
and we are in pain,

but we're just trying
to keep trucking through.

Okay, here comes our favorite,
the prickly grass.

And each of this grass
itches as. ifit inflames...

-Yes.
-But it's from
the last five days.

My ankles and my calves
are torn up.

-[Viktor] It's my,
it's in my skin.
-Grass.

You realize that
the last time.

We were on a challenge,
we were crew.

We were on a challenge,
we were crew.

It looks darkish,
it might be water,
but let's see.

We gotta be close to the end.

We come a hell of a long way.

Bit of a son of a bitch.
It's really,
it's really moving.

-Thank you, days of rain.
-Yeah,

and it looks deep.
There's gonna be
a lot of sharp crap

in there as well.
So let's stay together.

-Oh, it looks deep.
-Okay, I'll still plumb
the depths.

We can see the water's high
and water's flowing at
a high rate

and those can be difficult,
but if this is river's
anything between us

and the extraction,
we'll go through it

and the extraction,
we'll go through it

if it was a river of lava.

-Are you with me?
-Yeah, I'm still with you.

Deep... oh, got it, standby.

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, maybe I'll fight it.

Give me your hand.

A better grip, better grip,
better grip.

Okay, go.

I'm taking you
to the other bank.

-You're good?
-Yeah.

Sorry, I'm trying to move
as fast as I can.

Sorry, I'm trying to move
as fast as I can.

[panting]
I know I'm stumbling.

But I'm still taking
steps forward.

I have come way too far
to just give up.

-Trying, I'm sorry.
-It's cool.

I'm not giving up I'm just...

so weak.

-The sun's beating down.
-Yeah.

Wouldn't have hurt
if there's a little breeze
for company.

Yeah, I know.

God doesn't care
about us anymore.

Don't tell me the vultures
are circling us.

Don't tell me the vultures
are circling us.

-I'm pretty sure
we smell like death.
-I think we smell like death.

Because it's 21 days,
I think we can survive
the next...

21 minutes.

Dude, I think this is
the road.

-I think it's definitely,
-You think so?

yeah, and it's a recently used
road.

See me civilization,
I'm staying with it

until something pretty,
shiny man made.

I don't care who it is.

This is the first man made
object regardless

This is the first man made
object regardless

of how primitive

that we've run into
in 21 days.

-All right.
-Let's get out of here.

It symbolizes an exit
the road home.

-Get in.
-Yeah.

We are finished
and I just forgot
the pain in the brain

that I was feeling and able
to just hug it out

and just feel
that emotion together.

That's the official end
of 21 days.

Oh, I would never done it
without you.

I know, I couldn't have
done it without you.

Having a taste of my
own medicine

was extremely humbling.

There's really no other way
to put it.

I think it's good to have
the tables turned every
so often,

so that you can see it
from the other side.

[narrator] Over the course
of the challenge,

Janis lost 30 pounds.

Her PSR rises from 5.1 to 6.6.

I will never ever, ever judge
a survivalist.

-Me neither. Me neither.
-Ever

-Me neither. Me neither.
-Ever

Getting a taste of
my own medicine was,

it's an eye opener,

but like most things,
I think it'll make me better
at my job.

This experience has changed me
as to how I work as

a first responder.

[narrator] Over 21 days,
Viktor lost 28 pounds.

His PSR rises from 5.7 to 7.1.

I'm done! Never again!

Goodbye, Guyana!

Never again.
