01x05 - Burn it to the Ground

[bunniefuu]

It's Day 16

in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness,

and as temperatures drop into the low 30s

What the hell, man?

I mean, he stole from Joel and Dawn.

They could steal from us.

Only reason they didn't

is because we're too close to their camp.

Justin's raid

of critical survival resources from Delta

- Oh my God!

- Oh my God!

What happened?

proves Alpha

is the game's apex predator.

We got three extra sleeping bags.

Over at Delta Camp

We've decreased the size,

less room to heat.

victims Joel and Dawn assess

what having their sleeping bags stolen

now means for their survival.

Ah, you know what else?

- What?

- We'll get the fire roaring.

We'll get about six,

eight stones together.

We'll get those stones hot

to keep the bed warm before you crawl in.

Yep. If you shiver,

get in front of the fire.

- We're here to win, right?

- We're here to win.

The teams evaluate what this

new move of the game means for everyone.

A camp was attacked.

So, now,

Nick's standing guard duty,

and all of our stuff's

been brought inside.

Who is out there?

It's one way to

take a team down.

That's Navy SEAL sh*t.

They did it in 30 minutes.

That's insane.

Whoever did this, thank you,

because now they're gonna tap.

You know they're gonna hit us

at some point.

Damn it.

I'm totally stressed now

that they think I'm with them.

That I helped them set this up.

Me and Brian are innocent.

Don't mess with our sh*t.

Just being on this side of the water,

I felt panicked.

I realized they're gonna

just think guilty by association.

Brian, I got big news, man.

- You ain't gonna believe this sh*t.

- What?

I'm out there collecting mussels,

and I could see commotion

on the other side of the river.

Justin went over there

and stole three sleeping bags.

Holy sh*t!

Who?

Dawn and Joel.

Oh my God.

That's a huge shocker.

This is stuff I can't stomach.

Even listening to it, I was getting sick.

But, man.

I don't like competition because

it brings out the worst in people.

Yeah.

Look what happened.

Oh, man. They turned into Satan,

being out here.

Oh my God.

To steal the stuff

and leave 'em out in the cold.

You might as well just k*ll 'em!

It was, like, vicious. Like rabid dogs.

Two weeks in the wilderness

can do that to somebody?

Did they come in here like that?

No. They came in here like that.

This experience

is not bringing out any characteristic

that was hidden deep inside.

If you're like this here,

you're like that in real life.

Money is one thing,

but I would rather die a poor man

with my family knowing

I died a good man, you know.

- Yeah.

- I could never do that to another human.

God.

They opened Pandora's box.

They're not gonna let us win

by just staying here and staying alive.

I know I won't be able to stop it, but

I can't have any part of that.

I'm here to play the game.

I'm here to win.

With temperatures continuing

to drop, from this point forward,

Team Delta faces these life-threatening

conditions without sleeping bags.

Let's get our bellies warm.

Oh, I'm so cold.

- These hot rocks do wonders.

- Yeah.

Do you need more?

No, I'm good right now.

I think I'm almost covered.

Get all your feet in

and get the tarp pulled up over it.

Oh, if only I could just crawl

into my sleeping bag.

We haven't stopped shivering.

Yeah.

Miserable.

We need blankets.

Bodies can't survive at this temperature.

I really worry

about our longevity in this game.

When you shiver all night long,

you spend all of your energy

not dying of hypothermia.

It's a flashback

to nights one through three,

where we did this

except we had 20 more pounds.

Oh man.

I'm not sure, at this point, if another

night of this is what we're gonna do.

Mm-hmm.

- I don't wanna go anywhere.

- I don't either.

We made it to morning.

Holy sh*t. I feel like we've won.

- I know. Seriously. What a night.

- We won!

- It's morning.

- Yay.

Mm, it definitely, probably, dipped down

into the high 20s last night.

- And it froze outside, hard.

- Like a deep, hard frost.

Of all nights to not have

the sleeping bag, it was this night.

Oh, it sucks.

Tell you what,

getting in two sleeping bags,

all that insulate, I was toasty.

- I was sweating last night.

- Yeah.

- I was like, cold toes, no.

- Nope.

Stealing their stuff

and leaving 'em out

in the freezing cold with nothing.

No human being deserves

that kind of treatment.

People are just so greedy,

they're willing to do anything

to their fellow humans to get money.

Fighting dirty,

not caring about other people.

It's gotta stop at some point.

I'm just not willing to go to the lengths

that these other people are.

I just can't be a part of this circus

of cruelty that's going on here.

So, I made the decision

that today I'm gonna bail out.

I gotta get away from here.

Let's call it a protest.

I want people to know

that there is good people in the world.

I'm coming home.

Javier,

he's just one of those guys

that would try and convince me

to stay out here forever.

I just know it.

So I had to get up

super early in the morning

to flee this campsite without Javier.

- Another flare.

- I don't wanna cheer, but I do.

Oh man.

Oh, hell yeah.

Oh sh*t.

Wasn't that a beautiful sight?

How'd you like that?

I think Brian

pulled that flare g*n.

I think Brian's gone.

So that means, Javier is uno at Bravo.

Which means he cannot continue in the game

unless he finds a team to join him,

or he came knocking at my door.

Javi's resilient.

- He'll be here 'til the end.

- Yeah.

Maybe encouraging Brian

to ditch his morals

was just enough to say to him,

"It's not worth it to me,

because I care what people think

about me at home."

I'll take another flare.

How do you think

they're doing over there?

On the north bank

Boy, the outlook changes really fast.

Delta assesses

what a flare above Bravo means.

You know, short of going over

and, like, throwing ourselves

at the mercy of Charlie or Bravo,

I mean, basically, our

only option is to like

- Flare out?

- Yeah, pretty much.

- I mean

- Which sucks.

You know, even if Charlie

wanted to come together,

if that's the deal at the end of the game,

there's no way we can play it

to our advantage.

No.

Paul's a hypocrite and a traitor.

So, I don't trust Charlie Team.

I think we gotta go Bravo,

because then, we stay strong.

We keep our deal with Charlie

for the third of the crab pot,

because it's gonna be our bait, our craft.

- That's kind of where I'm going.

- Yeah.

So, let's go to them, low tide.

- See if we catch Javier and Brian.

- Yep.

Javier wakes up

to the sound of a helicopter

to retrieve valuable resources

that may have been dropped.

I don't know where Brian is.

Oh sh*t.

Look at that.

Nothing but a message, huh?

"Javier, I shot the flare

and left the competition."

"I decided I could no longer

be in a contest of dishonor."

"It has become obvious the winners

will be the team who is most capable

of inflicting inhumane acts

against each other."

"We survived together because

you shared your knowledge with me

and I shared my patience with you."

"I will never forget

our time together. Brian."

Brian me over pretty good

and decided to give up and sh**t a flare.

He left in such a shitty way.

He coulda looked at me,

shook my hand, and said goodbye.

Oh dammit.

You know, I gotta laugh

because if I didn't laugh,

I'd probably scream and yell.

'Cause there's dishonor?

Oh, when sh*t gets tough you just quit?

The way you show them

and teach them a lesson

is you fight the good fight, and you

make sure that those b*stards don't win.

Look at me.

I can live out here. I can survive.

We coulda saw this through, Brian.

Hey, Bravo!

Oh sh*t.

Joel!

Is that you, Brian?

No.

Is that Javier?

Brian's gone.

Brian's gone as well?

Yeah.

I wanna let you know,

we have nothing to do with them!

Thank you for that, man.

It's been brutal.

Do you guys have any extra sleeping bags?

We only have two!

Brian and mine.

- Yep. That makes sense.

- Yeah.

That's what we wanted

to strategize with you on.

We're wondering if we should merge.

Oh, totally!

That's just That'd be sweet.

Our side or your side?

What do you think?

We're fine coming to you.

We're just wondering about the neighbors.

I got a plan for that.

If you come here,

you'll get your sleeping bags back.

Very good.

Will you be able to get over here?

We're gonna try.

I'm here. I'm here at camp.

We should try to come over there,

next day or two.

Okay, I'm waiting for you.

- We're coming.

- Okay.

Very good.

Seems like a miracle has happened.

Um

Within minutes of getting Brian's letter

and me staring off into the distance,

wondering what the hell I'm gonna do,

Joel and Dawn,

they're strong.

We're gonna join forces, and we're

gonna show those b*stards over there

how to win honorably.

- Tomorrow morning, at a low tide.

- All right.

So, sh*t's starting

to get interesting.

- Yep.

- Yeah.

While Bravo and Delta

are forced to prioritize the game,

Alpha stays vigilant

on the essentials of survival.

- Jill is on a mission now.

- Good.

- She's the best archer in the whole thing.

- Yeah.

So she set up her bow,

got a few practice shots in.

- Good.

- We set her up, got her packed up.

- She'll get a deer.

- Yeah.

The last few days

definitely changed everything.

We need more calories.

So, I had to take the bow,

go hunt some dinner for the team.

This hunger is really setting in

after two weeks just barely skimming by.

I know I've lost some weight.

I'm gonna go to that scene

where the water is,

to the island

where we found the crab pots,

cut up through there, over

Yeah.

and then around.

As soon as I get to that shoreline,

I'll follow the shoreline around.

You got this.

- I don't have no choice, do I?

- No.

- Travel safely.

- Ugh!

Jill crosses the river at low tide,

targeting the new muskeg

far from the footprint of Alpha Camp.

Wow.

What?

Cuck-coo!

Cuck-coo!

Hey!

- It's Paul, right?

- Right.

Yeah? Jill.

- How you doing?

- Remember me?

Yeah, I remember you.

Good to see you. You look great.

- Uh

- So, you're Delta?

I'm Charlie.

I started out Delta. I'm Charlie now.

Long story, we'll talk about it.

I don't know if you heard that commotion

today, but I'm a little guarded.

There've been a couple of commotions

the last two days on our side.

- You know about the flare?

- I do.

- Do you know who it was?

- And that was

It wasn't Joel and Dawn? Nick? No.

Jordan. Jordan went out on a shield.

He passed out and went out-out.

So, Dawn and Joel

are the only left at Delta?

And this morning,

all of a sudden, we see Dawn

holler at Javier.

You know, what little bit

I hear across the river,

I guess they're joining up with Bravo.

- Yep.

- Like, why?

Someone came in their camp,

took their sleeping bags,

took I don't know what else.

So, they have nothing.

And here's the thing,

it was either us or it was Alpha,

and it wasn't us.

Well, I was at my camp.

I'm sure you was.

And look,

let me tell you,

you all are Navy SEAL stealth

'cause they had 30 minutes

to get in and get out with that stuff.

- It was quick and it

- Impressive, isn't it?

Very.

You impressed?

I'm very impressed.

We got room.

How about an alliance?

Are you serious?

We work together as two solid teams,

Alpha and Charlie,

to get rid of Delta and Bravo?

- Yeah.

- You're awesome.

My God, this is awesome.

This is awesome!

Did I say this is awesome?

So, Paul and I have aligned.

Operation Hootie Hoo.

The Hootie Hoo.

We have Operation Hootie Hoo going on.

We have to delete two different teams.

You've got two teams across the water

from each other and they're bleeding out.

Uh, just keep pressure on those guys.

To do that, we'll have to work together.

I think we got the same idea.

He says he's pretty sure he can

convince his team to go along with that.

And once there are only two teams left,

we go back to a respectful game.

Look, I've been playing the game

since day one.

I don't know. How do we attack this thing?

But as long as Jill will play fair

with Charlie Crew,

I think that's key to this.

There's rubs everywhere.

Abrasions against the base of a tree

are caused by deer

rubbing their antlers to mark territory.

Every 15, 20 feet,

there's a rub here.

Jill and Paul follow the clues

to track the buck travel patterns.

Gonna be does comin' through.

A buck's gonna come through at some point,

so we have got to split up.

Okay. Once we've accomplished

our mission, let's meet up here.

Yeah, okay.

Hootie Hoo.

I've got like

an hour and a half left

before I'm supposed to meet

back at the camp.

To prevent going home empty-handed,

I'm just gonna try

to get a couple squirrel.

Ah, damn it!

He's hurt.

Come on, baby, fall down.

There's your shot.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's obviously

a little bittersweet for me.

I do 1000% respect

the life that I just took.

And I'm so grateful for him

'cause today, the hunger pains

really set in hard, and it was like

if you're gonna make it, you're gonna

If we're gonna do this, you're gonna

If you're gonna win this game,

you'll have to do all the hard stuff.

Jill field dresses the squirrel.

She removes the hide,

preserves the edible organs,

and remains careful

not to penetrate the bowels or bladder,

which would taint the meat.

I feel the pride that hunters feel.

I earned what I'm gonna eat.

With the first red meat

of the challenge

Come home, mama bear.

Jill provides essential nutrients

to a team that's embraced

an aggressive game.

Got stuff cooking.

Oh my gosh. You do?

- Yes.

- Wanna throw this in there with it?

Yeah, nice.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, and I kept his tail.

- Okay.

- Yes!

We'll put that there.

- Yeah.

- Oh my God, yes!

So, heart, lungs, liver are inside still.

Cook it all up.

Yeah, cook it all up!

- How do you wanna do it? Boil it?

- I wanna roast it.

- Don't you want some real meat?

- You wanna know what?

- He made

- A rotisserie?

He made some sticks this morning. Yep.

- Oh, y'all knew. You just knew.

- We knew!

We know how to forage. Jill can hunt.

Then Alpha Team can infiltrate

and dismantle.

Today is a win, for sure.

- So

- Wow.

Ta-ta-ta-da! Drum roll, please.

I saw Paul hunting in

Okay.

He told me

Javier's been in cahoots with Delta,

and they're trying to merge.

Ah!

My, what an interesting day this has been!

And he is Delta, huh?

He is Charlie.

Oh, he's Charlie?

What?

He's Charlie?

Paul is Charlie.

Interesting.

But I got Paul to agree

that we would align,

because of the sh*t with Javier.

- Mm.

- Alpha and Charlie will align

until we get Delta and Bravo out,

and then it's game on.

- We do not play dirty against each other.

- Okay.

- Final seven

- 'Til they get eliminated.

- working together.

- Okay.

Now it's time to celebrate!

- Party!

- Time to celebrate, guys!

Party, party!

With a new strategy

brokered between Jill and Paul,

Alpha targets their new neighbor

and failed ally, Javier.

Joel!

Yeah, buddy.

If you could get to that island

I'll meet you on the island,

and we transfer sh*t.

Okay!

If Delta is meeting them at the island,

they're all gonna be on that island.

- That gives us a bit of time.

- Okay.

If we can go, at least dismantle,

take his sleeping bag,

take whatever other little tools,

it would be like poking another hole.

- Right.

- Because

I want them to see us.

And that way, maybe, they'll be like,

"They've raided my camp.

I may not have a shelter."

"Let's go to Delta."

It gets them off our side of the island.

Well, I say we let them see us

after we already get the sh*t.

Javi said he's got a plan.

We're moving over there,

and we're gonna help him.

And then,

we can let the real games begin.

Bag up

all the equipment stuff first.

I'll work on equipment,

you work on the tarps.

Very good.

We are planning to go ahead

and move across the river today,

tear down camp to merge with Bravo.

Tearing down the Delta shelter.

I think Bravo has got

a fairly substantial shelter.

Flat ground, protected from elements,

and I think it's gonna add to the team,

and add to our success.

Farewell, kind fort.

You've treated us well.

Merging camps

is a barrel of monkeys of fun.

Today, I woke up kind of excited,

thinking about Joel and Dawn

coming across the river

and joining me here in my lovely camp.

They suffered without sleeping bags,

and they still made it.

They are hardcore.

What are we gonna do?

I mean, we don't want them over here.

Amber and I have to come up

with our own strategies.

How are we gonna keep Delta

from coming over?

How are we gonna get Javier

out of our life?

We have to guard our own sh*t

when all three of 'em are here.

- It's three against three.

- Alpha's strategy

to try and keep the merge

of Bravo and Delta off the riverbank

resonates with Charlie,

who sees the gameplay potential

of controlling their entire shoreline.

Hey, Charlie! Can we get

you guys' help to put our raft in?

Yeah, I'll help.

- Let's do it.

- Let's do it.

I think Jill and Amber

are now afraid.

'Cause they know that if they come

here and we create a team of three,

their days are numbered.

We're gonna have to be very

We'll have to watch the other side

because we can't move until they do.

- Right.

- If we move, they'll alert him.

There we go. Thank you, brother.

Regardless, Bravo comes down.

That camp

will not be existing after today.

All right.

- Hey, thank you for your help, again.

- Yeah.

- We got you guys.

- Good luck over there.

But we gotta get over there,

so we can get rid of A.

Mindful of the primitive

raft's limitations

We'll give them a taste

of their own medicine.

Absolutely.

Joel ferries the first bag

of materials towards Bravo Camp.

If he goes to that island, we are going

into Javier's camp and taking his stuff.

What's goin' on? Let's see what he does.

Okay. He's taking the buoy.

Now he's gonna try

to pull 'em across and not leave.

Let's go get him.

Come on, man, you got this.

So, let's see If we head him off,

we'll be a little bit closer.

Where's the entrance?

Right here.

Let's go.

Grab that bag. It's his.

Oh my God. Are they really?

- What?

- They're going up toward the shelter.

He's coming! He's coming!

Get 'em, Javier!

Guys, you're stealing my sh*t!

Well, that's the game

we're playing, apparently.

Get the outta here.

You sore losers.

We'll sit right here.

You

Either go to Delta

or fire your flare g*n.

You have two choices.

Somebody's coming back out.

Amber's coming back out.

- Is that who's on the beach?

- Yeah, that's Amber there.

You can't outlast us.

You have two choices.

Go to Delta or fire your flare g*n.

- Look, go back over there to your

- No.

I'm not leaving.

- You can't beat us fair and square.

- You have to cheat!

The b*tch is going for the raft!

The b*tch is going for the raft!

Oh my God! You selfish b*stards!

You can't live out here!

You can't outlast us!

You gotta cheat and steal to win!

- Okay.

- You can't do it!

That's why you're desperate

and stealing sh*t!

- I'm not desperate.

- Everybody on this camera can see that.

I'm not desperate at all.

I'm playing the game.

No, this is not. This is cheating.

What the is wrong with you?

It's cheating.

Cheating is breaking rules.

You can't steal sh*t

without ramifications.

There is no law here.

- Yes, there is!

- No.

This is America!

No, we're in the middle of Alaska.

You're still in the US of A, lady.

Okay.

Ugh! No.

- You're in your dream world.

- I will wait you out.

I will sit here in the cold all night.

Joel will be here soon.

- I'll wait with Joel.

- As soon as reinforcements come

You can get sick

and wait out here all night long.

You will sh**t the flare and lose.

Okay.

Don't leave the raft, Joel!

I'm not.

Dude, they just went

rogue again. Oh my God.

Is that a little heavy for ya?

them.

I'm soaked and beat from yesterday,

and I gotta deal with this nonsense.

Maybe you're afraid.

And maybe Amber's trashing the sh*t

out of your raft, right now, so

Maybe so.

So, do you go protect your raft,

or do you guard your camp?

You're so weak.

You're so weak.

She's destroying my raft.

The other crazy is at my camp

trying to steal my sh*t.

Yep.

Why don't you just come across

with us and we can rebuild in peace?

Do you have all your stuff?

I have the most important stuff.

- Okay.

- But

You don't wanna come here?

Up to you,

if you want to put up with that.

I'm not gonna let

some bullies drive me out.

Okay.

- What are you doing now?

- I'm These are mine.

- No, they're not.

- Yes.

This is all mine.

We now probably have

the only working raft in the game.

And it's just been a lot in two days.

What's Javier thinking?

Javier still wants us to come to his camp.

We've already got our stuff across.

Ours is already torn down,

so we might as well.

I don't think so, bro.

Hey, get the off of me, dude!

- Hello!

- Just pulling my rope.

This is mine.

This isn't a game, isn't about survival.

It's about who's the meanest.

Seriously. Like, I'm about done with this.

That's where I am.

- Yep, I've had it.

- I'm done.

I have had it.

So, if you wanna grab the flare g*ns.

Joel!

Come on over!

When we were standing there

and there was nothing we could do,

it was just like somebody had turned loose

a couple of foxes in the hen house,

and I wasn't even allowed to sh**t 'em.

We need to let Javier know

what we're doing.

Yep.

Take it.

We'll see you at the finish line,

you weak-a*s mother.

All right, I'm goin'.

- All right.

- Hey, guys.

- Javi, what's up?

- finally welcome here.

Yeah, it's been quite the get,

trying to get up on this.

Yeah.

There we go.

Sorry you've been having to

deal with this stuff.

We've

We think Dawn and I are probably done.

I

We've had about five days

where it just hasn't been

the game we signed up to play.

Um

Just let me say this.

Yeah, please.

I never liked these bullies.

- No

- They win if we quit.

I I thought we would camp

and then, just go there and say,

"We're taking back

those three sleeping bags that you stole."

- Yeah.

- Walk up.

They'll try and get in front of us,

and we take those sleeping bags.

Let's just call it.

Do you not even wanna go down

and do the thing?

- I wanna go out as a bigger person.

- Yep.

- And you can still join Charlie.

- Yep.

Okay.

You're a good man, Javier.

Come here.

Man, I wish that we had time together.

I wish we had more time together too.

You're such a good dude. You're cut

from the same cloth that Dawn and I are.

I hope you win this.

And screw them, if you get a chance.

That'd make Dawn very happy. Uh

You ready?

Yeah, let's go home.

Joel and Dawn

they had enough.

They came here with one vision.

The same vision I had.

But we're up against thieves

and criminals.

- There's a weight off of my chest.

- Yeah.

I didn't like the person that they

were forcing me to become out there.

I'm not going to Alpha Camp.

We're not gonna tear sh*t apart.

This isn't who we are.

Yeah, baby.

Yes.

It's totally personal now.

You can't let the bullies win.

Get out of bed, sleepyhead.

Make it stop raining.

Good morning, Day 20!

Day 20!

Woo!

Are you ready?

If I was able to join

with Joel and Dawn, we would've rocked it.

So with damn near everybody gone,

the only option I have

is to go across the river

and meet up with the last remaining team

of four and see if they'll have me.

So this morning, I packed my backpack

and also grabbed all my tools

and my sleeping bag.

I'll try to win them over with humor

and then get down to the nitty-gritty

and beg for them to accept me.

This is the bag I'll be carrying

with the essentials,

the slingshot, the kinda hunting sh*t.

Back at Alpha Camp,

the team talks about Javier's next move.

If he doesn't get on another team today,

rules state that

he'll be forced to leave the game.

What's the plan for today?

We were talking

about Javier's last-ditch effort.

- We need to loot that camp.

- Yeah.

- We need to get there before he gets back.

- True.

If he flares, we need

to get over there before Charlie does.

Yeah, I agree.

Javier will not show his face at Alpha.

Delta's gone.

If Charlie doesn't take him,

he has to sh**t his flare.

So, we need to prepare

to get in place to loot the camp.

The circumstances

are just up in the air right now.

It was such a cozy place.

And there's one thing I promise you.

If I'm forced to leave

because of these sociopaths,

I'm gonna take a lot of pride

destroying my home.

Just to make sure

that the demon squad doesn't win.

You don't think he'll come here?

He's not coming.

We gotta go

to game mode real quick.

Yeah, time to get out

and get something.

I do want

all of them to burn, so

they ain't getting my sh*t.

Okay, I got tinder here.

Jill, Amber, and Justin,

you ain't getting sh*t.

I'm burning it all down.

You all realize we are 50-50

to win or lose in this game right now.

I don't feel like it's arrogant

to jump it up to say, 65.

Oh, it's picking up speed.

Come on.

I'm not gonna let those idiots live there.

I'll destroy it all and I'll laugh.

This one's heavy.

Oh, yeah!
