Narrator: one man...

no food,

No water.i want water!

♪♪

Holy *bleep*.
What am I gettin' into?

It's hot and humid.
Oh, boy.

I have no idea how we're
gonna start a fire.

Narrator: at the crossroads of
south and central america,

On the caribbean coast
of panama,

Lies rio morales.

The jungle is so dense that
it can only be accessed

On horseback...man.

...and the triple-digit heat
and high humidity

Make dehydration and heat stroke
a significant threat.

Can't believe I'm doing this.

But of course I am.

I am angela from st. Francis,
minnesota.

I was a combat
military police officer

And a machine gunner
in the united states army.

I have 23 and a half months
in iraq.

I was away from my children
as a single mother.

Now I have three children,
two of whom

Are also in the military.

My son's dad, bob,
is still my best friend,

And my current husband, mark,
is an army ranger

And a fantastic stepdad
to my kids.

Kids are gone.

I am not in the military
anymore.

Now I'm just housewife.

But I miss the adventure
and the excitement

That I had while I was
still in the army.

I need to challenge myself in
a level that I haven't yet.

I believe my strongest
survival skills are

Shelter making, fire making...

We got fuego.

...and definitely mentality.

I'm gonna miss my family.
I'm gonna miss my children,

But I've got this.

Military personnel
have a mental fortitude

That most people do not have.

Narrator: as a member
of one of the first

Female military
police combat units,

Angela is no stranger
to stresses

And dangerous environments,
but her extreme

Alpha personality could
clash with the wrong partner.

Angela begins with an initial
primitive survival rating,

Or psr, of 6.9.

Oh, yeah, back in the jungle.

Been a long time coming, baby.

My name's steve.

I'm a scuba instructor
from orlando.

I'm a former marine.

I was a diesel mechanic
and I've done two tours

Of the iraqi w*r.

This isn't my first time
around on this challenge.

First time around,
I stepped out of bounds.

The medic told me that
steven tried to steal food

From the tent last night.

You're being extracted.
Your challenge is over.

My biggest apologies
to everybody.

I really let them down.

I'm remorseful, but coming
back out here for redemption.

I'm a badass,
and I'm about to prove it.

Here's my second chance,
and I'm not gonna mess this up.

Narrator: steven enters into his
redemption challenge

With strong primitive skills,
but he must now prove

That he is mentally strong
enough to play by the rules

And survive 21 days.

He starts with a psr of 5.4.

Here we go.

I wish I could say that
this is the weirdest

Thing I've ever done,
but it isn't.

*Bleep*'s getting real now.

Let's go kick some
panamanian jungle a*s.

Bye.
Let's go find my partner.

I hope he's ready
'cause I'm coming.

♪♪

Like déjà vu.

I feel like I have an advantage
over my partner

Because I've been
out here before.

So I'm familiar with the jungle.

I know hunger, I know pain.

I'm ready. Hope she is, too.

Angela: I am hoping that
I have a partner that

Knows teamwork,
is not lazy and entitled,

And actually does
have some skills.

Hey!

You must be
my panamanian partner.

-Yeah.

-It's gorgeous, it's amazing.

See we got some goodies here.
You wanna check them out, or...

-Let's do it!
-Nice.

Pretty kick-a*s fire
starter right here.

It's gonna be a life saver.

Holy hell.

We can *bleep* some

I like it.

And boom.

Awesome.i got the pot, baby. Whoo!

I have a map here.
The map.

Here's the waterfall.

Oh, yeah, okay.that must be that right there.

Right, looks like we got
some fish and some crabs here

And that's probably
where we wanna end up

If we just follow this
little river on down.

-Let's go check that out.
-It sounds like a plan.

-Like a plan.
-Let's do it.

It ain't kansas.

Narrator: steven and angela
are entering a jungle

Filled with venomous
frogs and snakes,

Including the panamanian
coral snake,

Whose potent venom
can k*ll in under 20 minutes.

So, just a little
incline there.

Take a big step, maybe.oh, yeah, there we go.

Narrator:
16 species of scorpions
live on the jungle floor.

Among them,
the thick-tailed scorpion,

Whose painful sting can
cause blurred vision

And even anaphylactic shock.

I don't like these
little rocks.

It's like they hit exactly
in the pressure points

Of your feet.
-They do.

They're like, "hi, how
can I make you miserable?"

-Uh-oh.
-What?

Check it out.

Be careful for that guy.
Don't touch him.

Yeah.

Narrator: poison dart frogs are
another serious threat.

While they are just
two inches tall,

The deadliest species
have enough poison

To k*ll 10 grown men.

Angela:
but like everything out here, if
it's beautiful, don't touch it.

So, angela, what do you do?

-Yeah.
-Really? Sweet!

We so got this!

I can see you got that
grit about you, so...

Angela:
hey, I'm a delicate flower.

Steve:
angela's pretty awesome.

She definitely meets

What I was hoping for.

We're like right
on the same level,

And I think we're gonna
kick a*s together pretty good.

I'm happy.

So what are you looking
forward to doing out here?

-Um...
-Or achieving, or...

Actually, I've been on
"naked and afraid" before.

Shut up!

-Yeah.
-Really?

-Did you know that?
-No! Where?

I was butt naked
at the mexican jungle.

Really?

Yeah.

My partner was,
like, passing out.

*Bleep*

And, uh, ended with me
looking for some bottles

Of water and snacks.

Guess you could
say we went rogue.

-And, uh...
-Dude!

Yeah, I broke the rules.

Well, at the time,
I didn't realize I was

Breaking the rules,
but they'd been --

Really? How do you not
figure that one out?

Super humid.

Hold on.

You all right, though?
You wanna take a break?

I'm gonna drink some water here.

What's that?
You wanna have a drink?

Should be good 'cause
it's getting filtrated

Through all these rocks
for the last mile or so

That we've been going.

We either take the chance
or he dehydrates.

That's good water.
Don't drink too much, but...

Just enough to
wet our whistle.

Steve: you can hear the ocean.
Can you hear it?

Shut up.

-Ooh!
-Ah, I'm so excited!

Steve:
yeah! The beach, baby!

And it's a rocky beach.

Yeah.

What do we see?
Oh, sorry!

What do you think?this isn't high tide yet.

And looking at all this debris,
that's getting blown in.

So we're gonna wanna be in
a little bit for protection.

Little deeper back in there
between the river

And the ocean is cool with me.

So, let's get to doing
something 'cause the weather

Is not gonna hold out much.yeah, the weather's --

Looks like we're definitely
gonna get some rain tonight,

And time is of the essence.

Angela: our priority is to get
at least a temporary shelter.

You know, we can improve on it
and add to it or change it.

And...so wish I had a broom.

Let's go build
a cabin in the woods.

-That'll be our back.
-That'll be the back?

That'll be our back.

What happens if we
face it the wrong way

And every time it rains,
it comes directly into us?

If that happens with all
this foliage, I mean,

Ain't *bleep* we could do
differently

That's gonna change it.

You just want it
to face that way?

Yeah, the opening
just facing that way.

Okay, if that's gonna make
you happy, I'm with it.

Okay.

I can tell she's a alpha female

As I'm an alpha male,
but I think we'll be okay

Short days out here but,

See how many little
spider bites we got,

Bug bites we got, random
creatures snacking on us.

Today, we need to
get off the ground

Before the rain decides
to really show its a*s.

There is a possibility
that we'll get rained on

For days and days on end.

So, we're gonna make some
little raised platforms

For sleeping on and put
our fire in the center

So it's completely protected.

We can put one bed this way
and one bed this way

And then the fire right here.

So you want two beds?

'Cause if we do one bed,
then one person's

Getting the fire and
one person's not.

You know, like, we don't
need to cuddle.

You know what I'm saying?not worried about cuddling.

Right.if you want two beds,

We need more space.

You need to cut down
some more *bleep*,

Make this much wider.

But we need to plan it out
and figure out

How we're gonna do it instead
of just cutting *bleep* down

And then go, "oh,
I hope this works."

Well, while you stand there
worrying about that,

I'm gonna be productive and
I'm gonna get this *bleep* done.

Da da da da da,
all right.

Don't "da da da da da" me.

Bye, *bleep*.

A scorpion jumped out

I burned him in the fire,

Then I smashed him.

Kinda like a wasp sting,
just worse.

I'm very lucky, you know?

It can be very, very unforgiving

And very dangerous.

If that scorpion took me
out of this challenge,

I would've been
absolutely furious.

Steve:
today, we need some food,

And just past the breaks

Might be some awesome,
easy-to-snag protein,

Seafood, so wish me luck.

There's zero visibility
and a bunch of rocks.

That will shred
you up real quick.

This water here is pretty tough.

It's pretty murky.
It's got a strong undertow.

I'm a scuba instructor.
I free dive, but the reality is,

I wouldn't get in that
water with a mask on

Trying to see anything.

I just would not expect
to have any visibility

As churned up as
it is right now.

It's clear to me that if
we're gonna get any protein

From the water, it's
gonna be from the river.

So we're gonna try
to move up river

And see if there are pools
that are holding larger fish.

♪♪

I have found some cordage
to tie on some shoes.

You know, our feet from
coming down the river,

They're really sore,
so with these leaves

And then this cordage,
I'm gonna make some shoes

So that we can cruise around.

All I gotta do is tie
in these two spots.

How's that working?

I think it'll work.

The end result with some stuff
going around my toes there.

Keep it in place.

Let's try em out.
Better than barefoot.

Whoop, whoop, I like them.

-Got me some shoes.
-All right, let's haul a*s.

See these little
pools off to the side.

I wonder if they hold anything.

Uh, there's a fish right there.

-All right.
-Do you need to sharpen that?

It just needs to
hit him .

Right now, the sun is
slowly setting on us,

But I wanna find a place
where we can get

A consistent source of
protein of some sort.

I'm thinking if we
find a good waterfall,

We might find some eels
or other fish at least.

♪♪

Angela: oh, wow.

It looks like there's,
like, little minnows.

Nothing special but this is
a great hole to swim in.

Angela: there's a lot of
little fish in there.

We should be able
to make a fish trap

And trap fish.

But I do wanna keep
seeing what's up there.

There's another little
pool right there.

Just worried that we're
running outta time.

If you wanna turn back,
go ahead.

I think that continuing this way

Is a waste of time and,
no, I'm not gonna leave

My partner behind on his own.

Well, then stop
nagging at me, please,

And let's move forward.

No, I'm not moving forward
anymore at this point.

Well, then, see you
on the way back.

He wants to go up and find
other food sources.

What the hell are you
gonna find up there that we

Don't already have down here?

Why would we waste our time
looking for food sources

Over an hour away
and waste our calories

And our energy doing it?

Steve: it's probably
because her feet hurt,

Or maybe she's just not
up to the same, you know,

Physical, you know,
challenge that I am.

So, I'm gonna go as
far as I can right now

While we have
a little bit of light.

Hell, you never know,
this could be an untapped

Market of resources up here.

Angela: so, what'd you see?

I don't know.
I'm losing daylight.

I don't wanna get caught
back up there with no light.

Protein is definitely
essential out here.

So I'm really disappointed,
but I'm back out here

For the second time around
and I'm definitely not

Going nowhere, so next time
I wanna venture this way,

I'm just gonna have to come
by myself and start early.

Shoes or no shoes,
partner or no partner.

We k*lled a lot of time
just stopping

And talking and *bleep*.

Okay.

Angela: you know, I thought that
having a military partner,

He would understand the
importance of teamwork.

So that's very
frustrating for me.

Steve, hold on.

-What?
-Hold up.

Why?
You got shoes on!

Knock it off.

You know, if he wants
to talk, I'm there.

I'll be very direct in saying,

"Hey, this is what
we need to do.

"This is what we need to fix.
This is what is wrong."

So we can survive and complete
this mission.

I've been playing
really, really nice.

No, you have not.oh, no, trust me.

Yeah, talk to me.
Let me know whatever.

You gonna help me?that's what I'm here for, buddy.

If you wanna weave the top,
I'll weave the bottom.

So, I think the dynamic with

We're getting to know each
other a little bit more.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

is about to explode.

Look at that back there.

See the sky back there?

Mm-hmm, it's coming.
So we gotta hurry up.

It looks like it's
gonna rain for a while

When it gets on top of us, too.

We're gonna try to hurry up
and get some firewood

Before it starts pouring on us.

You got it?i got it.

I'm gonna go get some
more palm fronds.

My buddy's gonna go
grab some palm fronds.

We're gonna try
to cover the wood

And keep the rain
from dousing it

And getting it soaked
so that when we do

Need to use it, it's
still dry and ready to go.

These should be enough.

Whoa. Whoa.

Partner just woke up.
What happened?

Rain on the face.

This is my second chance
for redemption.

Am I gonna quit?

Hell no.

I wanna keep my fire high
and the blade close.

♪♪

First day waking up
without my partner.

The elements have
definitely changed.

This is definitely
more of a mental game.

I need to tap into my
mental toughness...

My testicular fortitude,

And just keep moving
forward like a marine does.

Right now, I'm
just looking around

And I'm seeing if there's
any other locations

That I like that are
a little more open.

You know, back there
it's just dank, dark,

And lonesome.

I was thinking like this
little raised area right here.

Yeah, it gives me
a nice little tuft.

It's happier here.

Come on, angela,
pick your end up.

Work in progress,
but I got nothing but time.

I'm gonna do a little bit
each day.

Structure definitely
helps keep your mind

Off of being lonely,

Which could cause you
to spiral downward.

♪♪

The nights are a prime example

Of what nobody
wants in their life.

Pure darkness,
loneliness, cold...

You're uncomfortable, you know?

You're at the mercy of
whatever comes your way.

Hello?

Anybody here?

I'm hearing these noises,

And not, like, just the regular

Sounds that you hear
in the jungle at night.

Like, heavy-bodied animals.

Hello?

For me, it almost
indicates stalking.

♪♪

What the *bleep* is that?

It's a monkey.

-Oh.
-Hi, little monkey.

Hi, little guy.

You got to be careful he doesn't
open up the waterworks on you.

And he's pissing.

And he's shaking it.

Literally, he just shook it.

This monkey's peeing on us
and he gets done,

And he shakes his little...
You know.

That was awkward.

Hey, you behave.
Yeah, you.

You guys better knock it off.put you in time out.

-Don't you guys pee on me.

Hello?

I'm hearing these noises,
and not, like, just the regular

Sounds that you hear
in the jungle at night.

Like, heavy-bodied animals.

Hello?

Well, I just had a moment.

*Bleep* me.

Losing my mind.

The thoughts that you have
out here are uncontrollable.

You can not escape them.

You can not change the channel.

You can not get away from it.

But I'm gonna just stay
here and suck it up,

Because this is
my second chance.

I'm gonna see it
all the way through.

Not really liking
that sky over there.

Not at *bleep* all.

It's raining pretty good.

I can live with this.

Hopefully, it doesn't
get any worse.

♪♪

Wow.

This doesn't look pretty at all.

This is a crap sign for the way
that my night is gonna go.

I can already tell.

Everything is really
testing me right now.

Now I get my fire going again.

Just trying to stay warm.

So, probably lay back down
after I get this,

Spike back up again a bit.

Holy *bleep*!

*Bleep*

That hurt.

I got ash in my eye.

In my left eye.

It's really in pain.

And I can barely open
one and keep it open.

This...i can't see at all.

♪♪

Narrator:
the next morning,

Steven still can't see
through his left eye.

The medic is called in.

Good morning, steven.
I need you to lay down.

-Lay down?
-Yes, sir.

Feels like glass.

And then when I open it,

It feels like somebody
shoving the glass in it.

Here we go, ready?

It looks very irritated.

Steven's left eye is very
swollen and red right now.

If he continues scratching,
we are going to have

A very, very
serious problem.

And I'm speaking about
long term.

Need that eye to be
patched for one day.

24 Hours.

Can't really swing a machete
with this today.

*Bleep*
it went from bad to worse.

My eye is my achilles heel.

Seeing out of one eye is
like cutting all my strength,

All my skills,
all my reflexes in half.

I'm a sitting duck for anything.

And I'm in the
middle of nowhere.

It's just me.
Just one-eye steve.

I'm about to *bleep* explode.

Every minute is tick, tock,
tick, tock in your head.

It's like a siren inside your
head you can't get out of.

Hate it.

Really wish angela
could have stayed.

Doing this alone makes it
so much tougher.

It looks like a peaceful jungle,

But at night it just turns
into this depressing

Thought prison.

There's nobody to motivate you.

There's nobody that you
have energy to feed off of.

It's just you...

♪♪

...and all your own thoughts of,
"do you want to stay?

Why are you still here?"

Hey, guys, this is steve.

I am tapping out.

Hey, what's up, man?

I decided I've had enough.

I really have had enough.

I'm done.

Don't forget why
you came down here.

You came back
for redemption.

I just can't take any more
of these nights

Inside of my head, and I just
can't -- I can't escape.

And it's making me tap out.

There's no way I can
talk you into staying?

Let's roll.

Take this two-time loser
and let's *bleep* roll.

Sure you want
to do this, man?

You about pissing me off
with that *bleep*.

I guess when it came down to it,

This panamanian jungle made me
face my inner demons.

I'm done!

I just didn't have
what I thought it took.

Steve, are you s--

Don't ask me no more
*bleep* damn questions!

I'm sorry, I'm done!

I would say the mental
part of this challenge

Is what did me in.

Narrator: facing the loss
of his partner...

Oh, my god.

...terrifying nights...hello?

...and a debilitating
eye injury

Proved to be too much
for steven to overcome.

Steve: I am tapping out.

Narrator: after just 12 days,
he lost a total of 15 pounds.

His inability to endure
and complete the challenge

For a second time causes
his psr to plummet

From a 5.4 to a 3.1,

Proving that even on a quest
for redemption,

Surviving the panamanian
jungle can sometimes be

An insurmountable challenge.
