Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,855
This program me contains
scenes of hunting, fishing,
2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,135
and the killing of animals which
some viewers may find upsetting
3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,135
Over 50% of the world's population
now live in cities.
4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,575
We are the most disconnected we have
ever been from the natural world.
5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,495
With the rapid pace in growth
in which us humans live,
6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,975
it would be easy to believe that
there's no area left unexplored.
7
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:21,295
But you'd be wrong.
8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,695
There are still majestic pockets
of land that are truly rugged,
9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,575
wild, and untouched.
10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,215
It's just brutal.
11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,655
We just haven't seen proper
sunlight in, like, 21 days.
12
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,455
It's so dark under the canopy.
13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,455
And the critical thing is,
14
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:38,935
we need them for
the health of our planet.
15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,375
I'm Lucy, and I'm an explorer.
16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,935
I've been leading expeditions
across the world for over a decade -
17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,295
and now, I'm on a mission
to take you with me.
18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,735
On my biggest and
most dangerous adventure yet,
19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,895
I'm trying to cross one of these
last-remaining wildernesses
20
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,255
located deep in
the Amazon rainforest -
21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,495
a journey many think is impossible.
22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,295
I want to show you the beauty...
23
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,335
Oh, my God, look...at this!
24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,055
...the surprising...
25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,775
Ah, it's magic in here.
It truly is magic.
26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,015
...and the downright ugly.
27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,295
Ohhh!
28
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:17,455
With my team, we'll seek out
the weird and wonderful creatures
29
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,255
that call this unrelenting
place "home".
30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,095
And, as we journey on foot
through in ho spit able jungle,
31
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,295
we'll learn to work with the wild,
not against it.
32
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:29,135
We're very, very far from
help right now.
33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,495
If something happens,
we are on our own.
34
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,855
We just got attacked
by the really big wasps.
35
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,935
THEY LAUGH
36
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,855
Because it has never been
more important for us to build up
37
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,015
our relationship with
the natural world
38
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,895
and protect these last
wildernesses at all costs.
39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,295
This is the hardest thing
I have ever done.
40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,695
The expedition is almost over
before it even began.
41
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,055
So, we've just capsized,
and we lost stuff.
42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,415
We did lose one thing -
the water filter.
43
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,775
The bushmaster-snake
whistles haunted us.
44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,215
DISTANT WHISTLING
There's so many here, aren't there?
45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,015
Peccary.
46
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,575
Our tree-climbing came into play.
47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,215
They came through here. Whoa.
48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,495
Team morale was put to the test.
49
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,815
This is...not easy.
50
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,655
Vivian was evacuated...
51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,415
He was the strongest team member.
52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,695
...leaving the whole expedition
in jeopardy.
53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,695
I'm in Guyana, journeying across
54
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,535
one of the most untouched
rainforests in the world.
55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,535
This majestic and rugged
wilderness threw everything at us
56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,015
in the first leg - but now,
we're at our first resupply,
57
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,695
waiting for the new team member.
58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,495
So, this should be
an opportunity for rest.
59
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,295
But instead, losing the water filter
has finally caught up with us.
60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,055
SHE SIGHS
61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,375
I went down last night
with sickness,
62
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,335
vomiting, and diarrhoea.
63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,095
But I feel a lot better now.
64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,535
It was going to happen
at some point.
65
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,055
This was the best time
for it to happen.
66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,855
Hopefully it doesn't happen again.
67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,215
How are you feeling, Aaron? Rough?
68
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,055
Minor thing - we'll get over it,
and we'll be strong again.
69
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,055
Yeah, yeah, yes, Lucy. Yeah.
HE CH UCKLES
70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,815
Eventually, after days of waiting,
71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,175
we hear the distant murmur
of a motor.
72
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,415
Yeah! Yeah, man!
73
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,055
Because we're so remote,
it's taken Anders three days
74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,575
to reach us, even by river.
75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,495
Nice to meet you.
76
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,175
I hope Anders said that
there was going to be a camera.
77
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,575
I already told Carlos how grateful
we are that he's coming in on,
78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,855
you know, such a short notice.
Yeah, amazing.
79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,415
It's good we've got our -
another fifth team member again.
80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,095
I'm sad that Vivian's not here,
but we move on.
81
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,615
I cannot wait to get the next...
leg done.
82
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,935
And then, we'll be, like,
two thirds of the way, and then,
83
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,535
I could be able to see the end.
84
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,655
Right now, the end feels
a long way away,
85
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,015
especially the way
I've been feeling.
86
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,775
So, the raft is ready -
and tomorrow, we set sail.
87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,975
We're going to have to give
all we got for leg two.
88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,735
First, it'll see us heading
north, downstream -
89
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,815
Well, that's if the raft holds out.
90
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:28,215
We hope to sail all the way to where
Rewa River meets Kwitaro River.
91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,575
And from here,
we'll be back on foot,
92
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,935
heading west through
the lush forest.
93
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,895
We'll be gaining height
as we cross the Mapari Mountains,
94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,215
finding a way through
the lush vegetation
95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,735
until we reach the Rupununi.
96
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,935
But our first obstacle to tackle
is keeping the raft afloat.
97
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,895
Let's hope it works.
98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,655
Let's see if the caimans stay away,
99
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,775
or if they become a little curious
about a little raft going along.
100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,135
I'm going to try and sit in
the middle, with my machete, ready.
101
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,855
Not that I'm sure I stand much
of a chance with a machete
102
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,215
and a black caiman, but...
a girl can dream.
103
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,895
A ship isn't a ship without a flag.
104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,695
Final touches?
105
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,455
SHE CHUCKLES
106
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,895
Yeah.
107
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,175
Right, leg two.
108
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,055
Let's get this done.
109
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,415
You, you paddle out, Aaron.
Yeah, paddle.
110
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,815
You paddle, you paddle. Nice.
Not bad, not bad. Yeah.
111
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:23,335
Good, good, good.
112
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,615
It's working.
113
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,095
Guyana, in native Amerindian,
114
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,415
translates to
"the land of many waters" -
115
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,335
and it's easy to see why.
116
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,855
Its majestic forest is interspersed
with an abundance of rivers,
117
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,175
creeks, and waterways.
118
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,535
Having plentiful water keeps
the forest resilient
119
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,935
and allows the animals
and plants to thrive within.
120
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,095
Looking at it now,
it's hard to believe,
121
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,535
but this area has actually
seen a drop in rainfall
122
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,175
and had more frequent droughts.
123
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,535
These drier conditions
threaten habitats
124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,415
and increase the risk of wildfires.
125
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,895
And this, of course,
has a far-reaching impact.
126
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,375
A mass die-off of trees would lead
to the release of huge amounts
127
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,335
of carbon dioxide into
the atmosphere,
128
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,095
making us all more vulnerable by
129
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,375
driving global temperatures
even higher.
130
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,975
This plan is working. Yeah, yeah.
SHE CHUCKLES WRYLY
131
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,695
I'd much rather be in here...
than in there,
132
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,535
moving so slowly next to the river.
133
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,335
Properly living a
childhood dream right now.
134
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,335
We're about to get very wet -
135
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,815
and not from having a dip
in the river.
136
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:38,055
Ready?
137
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,935
Now. It's pouring with rain.
138
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,775
Nice little, erm...shower.
139
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,375
But we're almost there.
140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:53,655
One more turn.
141
00:06:54,840 --> 00:06:57,855
We've made it. Yeah. Five hours?
142
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,055
Five hours, instead of five days.
143
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,335
The raft... Did work.
144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,695
...did work, yeah.
145
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,815
Oh, thank God. I can't believe
that raft worked so well.
146
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,855
We've got to Kwitaro Mouth.
147
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,455
We start our next leg tomorrow.
148
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,735
That worked incredibly.
149
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,615
Better than my wildest dreams.
150
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,175
Team spirit is good.
151
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,055
That was amazing.
Best day yet so far.
152
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,255
Leg two.
153
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,255
Let's do it!
154
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,815
Wasps, Lucy. Wasps. Yeah.
155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,615
Yeah, we're forever either standing
still because of wasps or bees,
156
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,135
or running through them.
157
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,535
It's one of the two.
158
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,375
In the Amazon rainforest alone,
there are hundreds,
159
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,775
if not thousands,
of different species of wasps.
160
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,215
So, it's no surprise that wasp
nests are a daily encounter.
161
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,455
Normally, we're able to spot them
before creating a disturbance
162
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,815
and give them a wide berth,
163
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,735
but some just come out of nowhere.
164
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,255
LOUD BUZZING
165
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,495
Wasps!
166
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,815
We just got attacked
by the really big wasps.
167
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,535
I just got about...
two stings on the head.
168
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,855
Er, yeah, some on my head.
169
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,615
One on my neck. One on my arm.
170
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,775
SHE CHUCKLES WRYLY
171
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,615
And one on my back.
172
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,255
But it's OK. just quite sore.
173
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,255
SHE CHUCKLES
174
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,215
SHE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY
175
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,495
Mm-hm.
176
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:22,655
THEY LAUGH
177
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,135
There's going to be a little bit
of a swelling on my head,
178
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,535
I think. Me, too.
179
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,335
I'm hoping for a good night's sleep
to recover from the wasp attack.
180
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,975
But of course,
the guys have other ideas.
181
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,655
TH EY STRAIN LOUDLY
182
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,295
Whoa!
183
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,615
STRAINING CONTINUES
184
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,175
No, it's not.
THEY LAUGH
185
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,735
Dinner is served!
LAUGHTER CONTINUES
186
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,295
During the last leg,
the guys' feet really began to rot.
187
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,615
So, for this one,
they've opted for long boots -
188
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,535
otherwise known as wellies.
189
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,775
Further up ahead, we're stopped
by a river obstacle.
190
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,695
This river might look tame,
191
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,335
but it's filled with electric eels.
192
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,135
And just recently, there's been
a new species discovered.
193
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,535
These eels generate
electricity of a voltage of
194
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:29,095
up to a whopping 860 volts -
195
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,535
that's more than three times the
voltage from our home power points.
196
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,575
What's your idea, Aaron?
197
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,695
Aaron, why are you going that high?
198
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,175
I'm quite worried for him, actually.
It's really high.
199
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,575
Jesus Christ.
200
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,375
Aaron, that was amazing!
201
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,495
That's ridiculous!
202
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,855
I can't believe you just did that
in Wellington boots.
203
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,695
Aha!
204
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,295
Aaron has me worried a lot
on this trip.
205
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,415
OK, so it looks like we're actually
going to chuck the rope over,
206
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,735
and we're going to try and get
the bags across,
207
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,495
and then, get us across.
208
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,335
You know what? I don't think
it's going to be a dry crossing.
209
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:30,935
Let's see.
210
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,175
Oh, man.
211
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,895
The faster we go, the less likely
we'll attract the electric eels.
212
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:41,535
Yes!
213
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,655
Go, Lucy! Yeeeah! Wow!
SHE LAUGHS
214
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,575
You've got the arrows
and everything? Yep!
215
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,135
Your hat! Your hat!
216
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,295
THEY LAUGH
217
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,975
Nicely done.
218
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,415
Ah!
219
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,735
SHE LAUGHS
220
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,575
Your tree climbing -
your tree climbing was amazing!
221
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,655
Thanks.
222
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,495
Our plan worked -
no-one was electrocuted.
223
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,735
Now, only about SOOkm of jungle
to get through.
224
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,735
The Amazon rainforest is home
to 390 billion trees.
225
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,095
That's so big that
it's three times more trees
226
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,015
as there are stars in the Milky Way.
227
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,855
But they're not all the same either.
228
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,015
There's approximately 15,000
different species of tree here,
229
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,495
each with different properties to
make the whole ecosystem stronger.
230
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,455
This is the Balata tree -
231
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,695
also known as the rubber tree.
232
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,615
And that makes rubber?
233
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,575
Or that is latex,
and that makes rubber?
234
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,015
The white liquid was exploited
for latex in the late 19th
235
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,815
and early 20th centuries,
236
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,375
and was big business
for Guyana's rubber industry,
237
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,735
until synthetic alternatives
came along -
238
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,135
one rare bit of good news
for the rainforest.
239
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,095
Really?
240
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,815
And the tree can recover quite well?
241
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,175
Yeah.
242
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,015
The beautiful thing about
the tree diversity here is
243
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,095
the potential it has in medicine.
244
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,975
The indigenous communities still
hold vast traditional knowledge of
245
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,775
the medicinal uses of many
of these plants.
246
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,255
There's secrets everywhere.
247
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,615
The Mora tree.
248
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:39,095
LOUD SCREECHING AND CHATTERING
249
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,535
Whoa.
250
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,615
A tree like this can be home to tens
of thousands of different species,
251
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,095
and, left untouched,
can live for hundreds of years.
252
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,815
But just 200km away,
253
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,255
across the border and into Brazil,
254
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,575
it's a different story.
255
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,655
The Amazon rainforest loses around
1.4 billion trees each year
256
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,015
from deforestation, and the loss
of these trees means we risk
257
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,415
losing potentially life-saving cures
that are yet to be discovered.
258
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,975
It's a race against time
to preserve this wilderness
259
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,175
as much as we can.
260
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:33,615
So, this part we're in now...
is so, so unexplored.
261
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:40,935
Very likely that no human has ever
walked these mountains, and...
262
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,015
...we are the first
to go through them.
263
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,895
This really is like us
covering new ground.
264
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,655
Real, real exploration.
265
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,055
SH E EXHALES
266
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,175
This terrain might be hard for us,
267
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,615
but it makes for the perfect home
for the Bush Dai Dai.
268
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,615
And, before we know it, there's
evidence that it's been here.
269
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,975
What? So one there.
And where's the other one?
270
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,535
Oh, one of the, yeah...
Yes, yes. This is the sign.
271
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,095
These broken trees next
to one another are a sign that
272
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,895
the Bush Dai Dai has passed through.
273
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,975
And feared by many. Yes. Yeah.
274
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,215
The Bush Dai Dai is from
an Amerindian belief.
275
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,095
It is a half-human,
half-animal-type figure,
276
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,375
a Yeti figure,
bigger than a man, hairy,
277
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,415
claws, that sort of thing.
278
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,415
And it is essentially
the guardian of the forest.
279
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,935
Keep respecting the jungle,
as it deserves to be respected,
280
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,215
so that the Bush Dai Dai
stays on our side.
281
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,775
Yeah.
282
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,495
Second sighting evidence
of Bush Dai Dai.
283
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,415
I expect we'll see more as
we go into the mountains, as well.
284
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,215
So, no shouting.
285
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,615
Cos if you shout,
the Bush Dai Dai will know...
286
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,135
...where you are and come.
287
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,415
Legend says that the Bush Dai Dai
can shape shift into any animal.
288
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,375
So, perhaps it's been
watching us all this time -
289
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,015
because then,
we hear our biggest fear.
290
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,415
BUSHMASTER SNAKE WH ISTLES
291
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,975
Bushmaster snake. Mm-hm.
292
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:33,095
Come around?
293
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,295
WHISTLING CONTINUES
294
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,615
Can you see it? Yeah.
295
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,735
Don't get too close.
296
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,175
You can see it?
297
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,895
Where? Where, where, where?
298
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,815
How are you seeing it?
299
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,855
No.
300
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,495
We've been surrounded
by whistling bushmaster snakes
301
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,815
during the day and night.
302
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,575
Now, it feels like
they're getting closer.
303
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,855
But we're weeks from help.
304
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,335
One deadly bite and it's game over.
305
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:14,695
WHISTLING CONTINUES
Bushmasters...everywhere.
306
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,615
The land of the bushmaster snake.
307
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,375
We hear them a lot, but we haven't
been seeing them that much.
308
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,255
Yeah, we don't want to be
running into them,
309
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,695
or stumbling into them.
310
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,975
Very dangerous...
311
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,375
...and we are far from help.
312
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,375
Good to know that that one ran away.
313
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,895
DISTANT WHISTLING
314
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,015
Two bushmasters.
315
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:56,815
DISTANT WHISTLING
316
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,415
Phew. Scary.
317
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,615
The light fades very quickly
in the jungle,
318
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,215
and so, it makes seeing things
on the floor very hard
319
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,015
as soon as it gets to,
like, around 3pm.
320
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:20,415
And 3pm is also the time at which
the wildlife comes out.
321
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,855
DISTANT WHISTLING
322
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,295
We just ran down that mountain
to get away from the bushmasters.
323
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,375
Well done for getting us away
from the bushmasters!
324
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,135
We cannot hear them,
so we have to be careful.
325
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,135
Don't go walking at night.
326
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,455
Very dangerous. Yeah.
327
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,735
But, yes, once again,
328
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,295
we are surrounded
by bushmaster snakes.
329
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,615
Yeah, we knew it when we were
coming down to find the water,
330
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,655
but this place is full
of bushmasters.
331
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,335
They're everywhere.
332
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,415
DISTANT BUSHMASTER
SNAKES WHISTLING
333
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:09,495
It's getting pretty exhausting,
being in danger all the time.
334
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,775
But, erm, just one foot in front
of the other, and we will...
335
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,695
...eventually get there.
336
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,815
Oh, yeah. Found a snake.
337
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,855
Let's...let's get rid of it.
338
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,135
Keep an eye out where it goes.
339
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:49,415
It's going to Lionel.
340
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,495
You see? Exactly?
341
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,855
You just can't take your eyes
off the ball.
342
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,895
Bloody snakes...everywhere.
343
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,295
I'm pretty tired today.
344
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,255
Everyone's pretty tired.
345
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,295
Running low on food...energy.
346
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,615
I just want to get
to the next resupply.
347
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,615
Good exercise, yeah.
348
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,215
That's most people's daily exercise.
Yes, yes, yes.
349
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,935
Yep.
SHE CHUCKLES WRYLY
350
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,415
Sometimes that happens.
351
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,575
CH UCKLING CONTINUES
352
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,335
Yeah, there's a really nice
moment that keeps happening -
353
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:50,775
and that's that Mikey is teaching
Aaron how to use the GPS.
354
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,135
I don't know, it's really nice,
cos Aaron's been teaching Mikey
355
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,575
how to use the bow and arrow -
so it's quite a nice crossover
356
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,855
of knowledge, from one generation
bushman to the next.
357
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,575
Quite nice to watch, and that
they're both wanting to learn.
358
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,135
And that's the way it should be.
359
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,455
Whoa! A nice shot.
360
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,455
We've been together for over
a month in the jungle -
361
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,095
and I think it's fair to say
we're all going a little feral.
362
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,335
Tapping into our childlike selves.
363
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,695
There's no going back now.
364
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,375
Woohoo!
365
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,255
EXCITED CHATTER
366
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,775
Whoo! H00!
367
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,775
EXCITED VOCALISING
368
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,975
Higher, Lucy, watch that peccary!
369
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,335
Well, I am thrilled to report
370
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:07,455
that Aaron will be staying
for the entire time.
371
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,695
So, I was a bit worried that he
might want to leave in the next leg,
372
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,215
but he's going to continue.
373
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,735
I think Lionel is stepping out,
374
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,215
cos of his knee and the
mountains ahead,
375
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:19,255
which is fine.
376
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,615
He's done remarkably well.
377
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,535
But it will be very sad
to see him go.
378
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,455
Today should mark
the end of leg two,
379
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,855
and we get to our next
resupply point,
380
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,455
which is going to be amazing -
381
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,855
because I also hope that
382
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,495
Vivian's wound will have healed,
383
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,335
and he should be waiting
at those coordinates.
384
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,215
And we'll also be meeting
our next team member,
385
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,295
Max, who will be replacing Carlos.
386
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,175
So, big changes.
But last resupply point,
387
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,255
and leg three means we head
into the mountain stage -
388
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,815
the steep mountains of the Kanukus.
389
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,015
Ohh, he's going straight in!
390
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,335
Watch out for the caiman.
391
00:24:00,360 --> 00:24:02,695
Watch for the caiman!
That's the deep bit.
392
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,775
Oh, my God. Yes!
393
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,535
SHE LAUGHS
394
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,975
THEY LAUGH
395
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,775
Woohoo!
396
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,175
After 39 days,
we have really done it.
397
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,855
Leg two complete,
and we've made it to the coordinates
398
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,695
of our final resupply.
399
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,135
And, look who's waiting for us.
400
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,295
Morning. Nice to see you.
401
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,495
How's your arm?
402
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,975
Yeah? Can I see it? Can I see?
403
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,775
Oh, God. Actually, that's na...
404
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,855
Yeah. Oof! Ouch.
405
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,775
Are you looking forward to the trip?
Yeah?
406
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,455
I'm hap...
407
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,335
Yeah, we're going to have
a good leg. Yeah, yeah.
408
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:15,655
Lionel, I know everyone
likes to fist bump,
409
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,895
but I'm going to give you a hug.
410
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,575
Thank you so much...for everything.
411
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,815
Carlos, I'll give you a hug.
This is how we do it.
412
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,215
SHE CHUCKLES
413
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,335
Let's go cross this river.
Wish us luck.
414
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:30,335
SHE CHUCKLES
415
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,295
Leg three sees us crossing
the caiman-infested Rupununi River -
416
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,735
and then, we'll have really
have gotten started.
417
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,095
The Kanuku Mountains are
a protected area
418
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,135
and the only part of the forest
where logging and mining are banned.
419
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,735
These mountains are 3,000-foot tall,
420
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,655
and we have dozens and dozens
of them to cross.
421
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,015
But if we can make it, we'll finally
emerge onto the savannah
422
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,295
and the border of Brazil.
423
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,095
So, we've spotted a place
to cross the river.
424
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,015
It's still pretty wide,
I have to be honest,
425
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,695
and we have seen two caiman already.
426
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,055
But we're going to get Aaron,
the water dog -
427
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,775
he's going to swim across
with a rope,
428
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,575
and then, we're going to swim
with our bags and get across.
429
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,895
But am I nervous?
430
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,935
Yes, I think this is probably
the most scariest,
431
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,295
nerve-racking swim
I've ever done in my life.
432
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,455
The bushmasters, the jaguars...
it's all right,
433
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,055
we'll take on the next predator.
434
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,615
Now, the black - oh, the piranhas,
they're small fry.
435
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,215
LAUGHTER
436
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,895
These caiman are not
to be messed with.
437
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,535
These black caiman,
they can grow up to 14 feet,
438
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,535
15 feet, 400 lbs, some of them.
439
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,935
They'll easily eat you up,
440
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,815
take an arm and leg off without
even thinking about it.
441
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,655
And if you splash in the water,
it'll attract them -
442
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,375
so, whilst we swim across,
we've got to be very silent.
443
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,375
Careful. Don't splash.
444
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,015
OK, Aaron, you can come back now.
445
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,055
What have we got ourselves into?
446
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,695
There's a caiman right there.
447
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,055
Now, it's my turn.
448
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,335
All right. Yeah.
RELIEVED CHUCKLING
449
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,615
Don't sit. Yeah!
450
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,855
Our final leg begins.
451
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,135
The Kanukus were made
a protected area in 2011,
452
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,855
securing this area's future.
453
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:22,735
How beautiful is this?
454
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,975
Hitting the mountains, and it's
starting to get really stunning.
455
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,695
We are in the mountains now.
456
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,855
The mountains have begun.
457
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,375
Steep, steep, steep.
458
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,015
Yeah.
459
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,215
Phew.
460
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,335
Yeah, the Kanuku Mountains are big.
SHE CHUCKLES
461
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,455
THEY STRAIN
462
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,335
Well, we started climbing
the Kanuku Mountain.
463
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,815
I think it's safe to say...
it's hard.
464
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,895
I'm not even kidding,
I've actually got the shakes,
465
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,575
because this is...
466
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,215
We are...climbing really,
467
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,695
like, the incline, may be, like,
468
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,615
steeper than 45 degrees.
469
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,655
Sometimes, l-l honestly think
it's sometimes like 60 degrees.
470
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,415
So, we are actually rock climbing
using roots and trees.
471
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,295
And this is the first time
I've seen Mikey tired
472
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,575
in the whole trip.
473
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,015
It feels really nice,
474
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,655
after being in the sort of
valleys and the darkness,
475
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,975
to be up high on the mountains.
476
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,935
This is what the Kanukus
is all about,
477
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,375
being on these mountaintops.
478
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:05,735
Whoa! Misty.
479
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,375
How high is it, Mikey?
480
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,855
Whoop-whoop. Yeah, man.
SHE CHUCKLES
481
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,055
Over here...
482
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,455
As always, just as we start
to let down our guard,
483
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,455
the jungle reminds us
she's always in control.
484
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,175
Yeah?
485
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,855
Oh, yeah?
486
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,175
Ooh! It's hard to see, look.
487
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,495
With your film camera,
you'd have to zoom in.
488
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,655
Oh, it's ready for you, as well.
489
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,135
Oop!
490
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,055
The bigger these
black scorpions are,
491
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,615
the worse their sting,
492
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,975
so this would cause some
extreme pain.
493
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,135
My skin is suffering big time.
494
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,375
My legs are bleeding, like,
everywhere from all the bites.
495
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,775
A tick's trying to get to me.
496
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,055
Actually, there's two in one area.
497
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,095
Look at those guys.
498
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,615
So, Mikey's got mosquito larvae.
499
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,495
Vivian's managed
to get one of these out,
500
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,855
but the other one is still inside.
501
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,055
So, I think we'll use some
cigarette ash to try and kill it.
502
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,815
A mosquito larvae is like a botfly.
503
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,775
It's likely it's been growing
in there for weeks.
504
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,815
And every night, it breaks through
Mikey's skin to come up for air.
505
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,495
If we just left it,
it would just get bigger,
506
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,975
and then, grow hairs,
and then, wings,
507
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,775
and eventually fly out.
508
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,575
And then, you felt it moving, right?
509
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,855
The ash should suffocate it,
510
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,055
and then, it'll be a case
of squeezing it out.
511
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,375
Right, we're going to get
this out, Mikey.
512
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,695
SHE CHUCKLES
513
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,775
Is it dead now?
514
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,255
Oh, is that it? Yeah.
Oh, let's see, let's see...
515
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,095
So, he came out for breath,
and then, died?
516
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,455
Ohhh!
517
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,015
Christ!
No wonder you could feel that.
518
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,295
HE WINCES
519
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,775
I don't know how you're watching.
520
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,775
Ugh!
521
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,295
That's its belly? Ugh.
522
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,295
God. Oh, I'm glad you got that out.
523
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,295
Yeah.
524
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,015
It's a new day - and with
one less larvae in Mikey's arm,
525
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,055
we should be feeling good.
526
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,615
But before we know it,
527
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,375
it's that familiar sound again.
528
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,415
BUSHMASTER SNAKES WHISTLE
529
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,935
Fear consumes us.
530
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,655
WHISTLING CONTINUES
531
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,055
Bushmasters really like
mountainous areas.
532
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,575
They sound like they're coming
from all directions.
533
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,055
The whistles have haunted us
for months now,
534
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,895
and it feels like there's no escape.
535
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,895
WHISTLING CONTINUES
536
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,855
Tonight...
537
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,895
Tonight, we're surrounded
by bushmaster snakes.
538
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,055
We have to be very careful tomorrow,
watching our footing.
539
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,695
Cos one wrong step...
540
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,735
There is not a population problem
with bushmasters here.
541
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,775
They're just so camouflaged
you can't see them...
542
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,055
...but they're everywhere.
543
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,735
WHISTLING CONTINUES
544
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,375
WHISTLING INTENSIFIES
545
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,735
So, the bushmasters are close.
546
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,335
That's why I've been filming...
547
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:14,295
BUSHMASTERS WH ISTLI NG
548
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,935
WHISTLING GETS CLOSER
549
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,575
That whistle is close.
550
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,935
Oh, can you see it? Can you...?
551
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,335
Oh, it's still there. Shit.
552
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,695
WHISTLING CONTINUES
553
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,055
Yeah.
554
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,535
Uh-huh.
555
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,895
Yeah. My eyes aren't very good,
but...
556
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,615
There's a bushmaster
right in front of us.
557
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,975
Vivian had a lucky escape and
almost fell onto it.
558
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,535
I can tell he's shaken up.
559
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,855
Aaron doesn't hesitate
to get his bow -
560
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,895
and I feel a little helpless
as I watch what's unfolding.
561
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,135
WHISTLING CONTINUES
562
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,775
WH ISTLI NG STOPS
563
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,255
Yeah, there's another one around.
564
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,335
WHISTLING INTENSIFIES
565
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:30,935
Despite these creatures driving
fear into us for so long,
566
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,215
this disturbs me.
567
00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:35,495
I'm so glad Vivian is OK,
568
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,735
but it doesn't sit well.
569
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:37,735
WH ISTLI NG STOPS
570
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,575
The team believe that the bones
of this snake are venomous,
571
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,455
and if it strikes and misses,
it'll then jump onto you
572
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,495
and whip you with its tail.
573
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:49,935
This is their belief-
574
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,295
but you can't argue that there's
something strange about the tail.
575
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,575
The bone appears to be coming out,
576
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:56,935
a bit like a needle.
577
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,775
Yeah. Yeah. So strong.
578
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,095
Whoa, it's big.
579
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,295
Bloody hell.
580
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:23,855
Yeah. Yes.
581
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,335
Whoa.
582
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:37,415
DISTANT WHISTLING
583
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,655
Another Amerindian belief is that,
if a bushmaster is killed,
584
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,015
dead wood must be placed
on top of it.
585
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,935
This is so, if another
bushmaster sees it,
586
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,295
they think it's been killed
by a fallen branch -
587
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,615
meaning hopefully,
we'll be left alone
588
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,255
as we carry on into the mountains.
589
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:02,975
I do not want to see or come
near any more snakes.
590
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,655
We're in the middle of
the Kanuku Mountains -
591
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,935
but not remotely free
from danger yet.
592
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,055
The end, in my mind, is in sight.
593
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,535
It'll be OK. It'll be good.
594
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,295
We've just got to really stay safe,
595
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,855
cos this place is so dangerous,
596
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,335
and we're so vulnerable
to anything that could get us.
597
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,935
We're far from help.
598
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,655
On reflection of the bushmaster
killing, I can't help
599
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,455
but still feel uncomfortable
with the whole situation,
600
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,855
and I feel like maybe we've
had it all wrong.
601
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,175
It was never the snake
we should have feared -
602
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,535
but instead, and as it always is,
603
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,175
it's us who is the biggest threat.
604
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,535
I want to know
how the team really feel -
605
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,295
and Max is the first
to bring it up.
606
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,575
Yeah. Yeah.
607
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,855
Yeah.
608
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,575
Yeah.
609
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,615
It's so dark under the canopy.
610
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,495
It feels like night-time.
611
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,895
When the camera is off,
without seeing it,
612
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,615
I disturb a tarantula hawk wasp -
613
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,135
and end up with
the huge wasp stinging me.
614
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,775
It's officially one of
the world's most painful stings -
615
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,695
and I can assure you, it's agony.
616
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,335
My eye has ballooned from the sting,
617
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,615
and it makes seeing things
even harder.
618
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,295
Jungle's not done with us yet.
619
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,975
I'll admit, I am...tired.
620
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,295
LABOURED BREATHING
621
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,335
This has been a huge,
huge undertaking,
622
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:45,775
this adventure...
623
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,895
...more than anyone
could've ever thought.
624
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:53,895
But I can't wait for it
to be over now.
625
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,375
It's been one hell of a ride.
626
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,975
I'm really...
it's time to go home now.
627
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,255
LABOURED BREATHING CONTINUES
628
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,495
WHISTLE BLOWS
629
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:09,815
We are all fatigued.
630
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:13,535
My face burns,
and the bushmaster killing
631
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,575
has hit me harder than expected.
632
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,895
I need a break.
633
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:23,855
Ugh.
634
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,855
I haven't had one of
these days like this yet.
635
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,895
We've got...we've got two days left.
636
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,855
So, I just wanted to step away
from the team a little bit,
637
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:40,695
and just let it out a little bit.
638
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,375
SHE SNIFFLES
639
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,975
Cos I haven't been able to,
cos there's no privacy.
640
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,215
TEARFULLY: I'm ready to finish now.
641
00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:56,615
Can't wait to be safe.
SHE SNIFFLES
642
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,975
I've gotta get up.
643
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,375
Make sure I don't look like
I've been crying.
644
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,975
I just needed that...
I just needed that.
645
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,935
Sometimes, a little release
is just what you need,
646
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,375
and I feel much better.
647
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:25,575
Today's a big day, cos today's
our last full day of walking.
648
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,455
Oh, I'm not ready for civilisation.
649
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:34,775
Actually, that's a lie -
I'm very ready for civilisation.
650
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,775
So, I'm going to miss this life.
651
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,775
I'm going to miss this life a lot.
652
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,775
This won't be the end of this life.
653
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,535
There'll be more expeditions,
there'll be more jungles,
654
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,415
there'll be more
other environments.
655
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,895
...so, so, so...
656
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,655
We've made it to our last campsite.
657
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,295
It's clear, it's open,
658
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,695
and we've just gotta go up
the mountain up there,
659
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,295
and then, down into the savannah,
660
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,295
and we've done it.
661
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,375
Yeah.
662
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,455
SHE EXHALES
Noodles for dinner tonight.
663
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,575
WHISTLE BLOWS
664
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,295
We've been through thick
and thin together.
665
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,135
These guys are like my brothers now.
666
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,535
THEY LAUGH
667
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,815
It's time to go home now, right?
Yes.
668
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,655
Like you can walk another trip?
669
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,615
Yes! I can't.
HE LAUGHS
670
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,695
This is what the top of
the mountain looks like.
671
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,255
ALL: Yeah!
672
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,535
We have come 200km in
a straight line -
673
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,295
actually over 400km
in the way that we've come,
674
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,895
to the savannah.
675
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,615
Done it. Brazil, that way.
676
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,135
We've almost walked the entire
length - the width of Guyana.
677
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:38,335
Almost.
678
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,455
Phew. Mental.
679
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,135
SHE CHUCKLES
680
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:55,575
After 50 days and 400km
in the deep and dark jungle,
681
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,215
we're out - and into the heat
of the savannah.
682
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,935
And it doesn't take long
before Anders rocks up,
683
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,415
our brilliant operations manager
and resupply organiser -
684
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,055
and with a surprise.
685
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,535
Aaron's wife.
686
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,895
Aww! Big guy.
THEY LAUGH
687
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:12,775
That is a nice surprise.
688
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,455
Go! Go!
689
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,575
Yeah, there we go!
LAUGHTER
690
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,575
It doesn't work. You try.
691
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:24,975
Yeah!
LAUGHTER CONTINUES
692
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,975
Before setting off,
we could have never have known
693
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,575
what was in store for us.
694
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,295
The dangers and joys that lay ahead,
695
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,575
and the lifelong
friendships to be made.
696
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,135
We came here to explore
this wild jungle...
697
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,535
...and, along the way,
have learntjust how vital
698
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,015
these ecosystems are for the
future of our planet.
699
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,695
In a world where
we're glued to our screens,
700
00:45:57,720 --> 00:46:00,735
it's easier than ever to feel
disconnected from the natural world.
701
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,055
We might assume there's nothing
left to explore,
702
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,735
but these wild places,
they do exist.
703
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,335
And the truth is,
we simply cannot live without them.
704
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,575
Our future depends on
these ancient landscapes,
705
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,055
so now is the time to celebrate
and protect them with all we've got.
706
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,255
We all have a paradise
to look after.
707
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,095
And it's called Planet Earth.
708
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:31,895
