10x14 - Stalked on the Savannah: Part 2

[bunniefuu]

Previously
on "naked and afraid"...

Narrator: for the last week,
jesse and wes

Have struggled to survive
in the city of rocks.

Wes: tell me that isn't
a little cat track.

Signs of predators near camp,
territorial bees...

Stung on the damn john henry.

Narrator:
...scorpions...

Ah, ah!
What --

...and lack of food have taken
their toll on both survivalists.

Wes: if I can get some food
in our bellies,

That'd make a huge difference.

Narrator: jesse is growing even
weaker from lack of sleep.

Dizzy.

Now, on day 8, predators
are slowly closing in.

Jesse, don't move.

Look straight ahead,
but don't move.

♪♪

Oh, my gosh.

That'll give you some
energy boost right there,

Won't it,
a little adrenaline?

I'm kind of just speechless.

♪♪

I think it could have been
a juvenile,

Which means
there could be a mother.

The mama.

I think we should just stay
on this side of the river

For a little bit.
Yeah.

I've been seeing tracks
for days now,

But actually
seeing one, crazy.

I wouldn't be interested
in seeing the mom too close,

That's for sure.

♪♪

-We got to get to water.
-Almost there.

-Huh! Get out of here!
-Hey!

Man: I got a bad feeling
about this.

-Aah!
-Whoo-hoo!

Man: holy hell.

We got this.

Yeah!

Hear me out!

Man: we're not going anywhere,
damn it.

After seeing the jaguar,

I want to reinforce the shelter
as much as possible.

I at least want to mentally have
some security about that.

So I would like to procure
some food today,

The best way we can,
you know.

Let's sit down.
I'm so tired.

Okay.or I'm going to sit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.you can stand.

Oh.

I think my number one priority
today is getting a good nap.

Um...

I just really want you
to know that

If I don't start getting sleep,
you're going to lose me.

♪♪

♪♪

So I'm not worried about
the workload

Or anything like that
during the day.

You'll never hear me say,

"Oh, I'm working,
and jess is taking a nap."

That's not a big deal, okay?
I don't care about that at all.

You will be out of here
if you don't get enough rest.

So do what you need to do
so you can stay.

Wes: I want to get some protein,
some calories.

Any kind of meat
would just be, really,

I think, an energy boost,
morale booster.

Well, thanks.of course.

♪♪

The only other thing
on my mind right now

Is the constant
search for food.

Protein is hard to come by
out here.

So I'm wandering,
trying to find anything.

It'd just be really nice
to bite into something.

All I think I can do to help
jesse is to just stay alert

And keep rustling up
little bits of food.

A lot of tracks over here.

It looks like five cat tracks.

Payday!

♪♪

Look at this little morsel.

Grub.

Oh, oh, oh, and a scorpion.

Hello, mr. Scorpion.
All right.

He's incapacitated
and missing his tail.

Oh, grub, no, no, no, no.
You're not going anywhere.

You're going right
with mr. Scorpion.

Wow, a scorpion and a grub worm,
both 100 percent edible.

This is by no means a meal,
but I'm going to take these back

And cook them up and see
about getting the eat on.

Well, I had a very small
success.

What you got?

I got a grub and a scorpion.

A scorpion?
Yep.

I thought it might be
payback time.

Poor guy.

Wow.

I'm sorry, bug.

♪♪

A little nasty?

Had a little bit of sand.

Feel like it would be
a little vindictive of me

To eat some of that.

No, I think that's good
payback right there.

♪♪

They taste like the same bit
of ash and everything else.

He's bad.

At least you got
your payback.

If I don't sleep, you're going
to watch me really fall apart.

♪♪

♪♪

I really want to help jesse out.

You know, she's up and down,
up and down,

Between sleep and hunger,

And the only thing we've seen
is lizards and birds.

Today, I'm going to make
a couple traps.

What we have a perch
for a bird doing a flyover.

Birds love to perch on things,

So we have a pointed
stick at the top,

So they can't land on that.

So the slightest bit of weight
that gets on the perch,

It's going to fall away.

When it falls away, it releases
the tension on the rope,

And the rock's going
to pull the noose shut.

It's on.
I'm going to catch some birds.

♪♪

Jesse: it really means
the world to me that

Wes is trying
to step up his game

And hopefully get some food.

I really want to help out,
so today

I'm going to make
a fish trap.

All right.

Get her in there.

Wes:
I'm building a cage that comes
down on top of birds.

This is incredibly
time-consuming.

I can make the trap,
and I can bait the trap.

It's just a matter of a bird
coming to the trap.

Jesse: ooh, ooh!
Whoo, ooh!

-Hey, jess.
-Yeah?

Hey, what's going on?

I found a snack!

You found a snack?
No, you didn't.

What did you find?i did. Come see.

All right.

It's not red meat.

Don't get your hopes
up too high.

Check it out, like,
a massive amount of frog eggs.

There's, like, 100 eggs.

Oh, my god.

I know.

There is.
There is.

I'm going to slurp those up.

I think that's a good idea.

I'm psyched.

Look.

They look like small eyeballs,
don't they?

Yeah. They're tasteless.
They just go right down.

Narrator:
frog eggs contain sodium,

An electrolyte that's hard
to procure in this savanna

But essential for maintaining
many of the body's functions.

You want to get in here?

I might just do a pinch
to start.

What do you think?

You don't seem as excited
as I hoped you'd be.

I'm okay.you're okay with small meals?

I'm okay with small meals.

♪♪

I'm just happy to eat today.

I don't care if it's little bits
of this, little bits of that.

It really feels good
to put something in my belly.

That was a good find.

You look down, buddy.

Um...no.

I mean, again,
I'm just really tired.

I'm trying to hold in there,
but I wake up every time

The fire gets a little bit low
or with every gust of wind.

Approaching my first
bird trap...

And nothing.

I guess these little birds
don't want somebody to eat them.

Nada, nada, nada.

I have to say, I'm disappointed
in myself as a hunter.

Oh, if there were fish in there,
it would be fantastic.

Really hungry.

Okay, nobody yet.

Jesse's checking the trap
every morning,

And there's nothing in it,
and I can tell she's frustrated.

Mixed with the lack of sleep,

Just making her mind
a little crazy right now.

♪♪

Wes:
it's totally curious to me

Why there's not more,
just, things.

Worm, beetle, grub, really.

Good golly.

Just not seeing
any resources.

♪♪

Jesse: this is so hard.

I just don't know
what to do.

Like, what are we supposed
to be doing?

I don't understand.

You can tell that we haven't
been eating a lot of food

Because we're getting slow,

And mentally thinking
about things really hard.

♪♪

I'm probably going to have
a good cry.

Aw, I'm sorry.

Well, if there's something
you need from me,

Please let me know, okay?okay.

Narrator: once the body consumes
its fat reserves,

It burns muscle,
which can cause pain,

Severe lethargy,
and depression.

Wes: I feel like I'm going to
make it 21 days.

Jess, I'm not so sure about.

but a storm has moved in.

It's a cold rain,
real cold rain,

Nothing we haven't been
through before,

But it's, like, all hands
on deck when this happens.

You get all your kindling,
everything,

Bring it inside
as tight as you can

And then stoke that fire

Because it still comes down
the wall, the back wall,

This is really starting to suck.

I am tired.

I got no fat on me anymore,

a little layer of fat.

It would kind of cushion
just a little bit.

Now that is gone, and you're,
like, bone on stone.

♪♪

Would you take on bees
right now?

The risk with those bees is just
getting the absolute crap

Stung out of you,
versus getting honey.

I think hunger is enough
to overcome that fear.

But running in there waving
a stick, I'm not too big on.

Those bees will tear us
a new one.

I don't know, I'm going to have
to give that one some thought.

Jesse: I've been thinking
about it hard.

There's just so many things
that can go wrong.

If you get 100 of those,
200 bites,

And your body can have
a reaction to that.

I'm not interested in just
getting peppered by bees.

I've been there before,
and that is not fun,

And I know those suckers
have honey in them,

But, man, even messing
with that thing,

We're going to get stung up.

I'm real sorry how it's going to
affect your ability to do it,

But I've decided that I'm not
going to participate in that.

I'm sorry, but I'm just...
I'm not going to.

Jesse:
right now, wes and I have two
different survival philosophies.

Wes is trying to conserve energy
and stay safe for extraction,

And I respect his decision,

But I'm trying to get
as much food as I can,

And so a chance like this is

Just too hard for me
to pass up.

It's about to be nighttime.

Hopefully, they'll be
a little less active.

Wes:
it's barely a two-person job.

I can't see how she's ever going
to pull it off as one person,

But I know damn well
she's going to try.

Jesse:
the way these bees drill into
your skin is really unnerving,

So I'm going to protect
my head with my bag.

I really had to hold my ground
and not go.

I just can't see the risk
involved there.

I wish her the best.

I hope she doesn't get
all stung up.

I really do.

it's starting to get dark.

Hopefully, the smoke will make
the bees a little less active.

Mm, mm.

Wes: should we talk
about extraction?

I guess we'll have to talk
if we're going to have

A 2-day-er or a 1-day

Because the big thing is
if we make it a 2-day-er,

Then we got to have somewhere
in the middle part

We have to hole up
for the night,

And you know that's going
to be a rough night.

We got a long walk.

We got black panther
and jaguar,

And just I'm tired,
beat-up.

I think it's a 2-day hike
to extraction.

I'm not feeling super cheery
about it right now.

If it was just you,
to be perfectly honest,

If it was just you doing
this whole thing, yeah,

You could probably
grind it out in one day,

But I just can't
move that quick,

And I apologize about that,
but I just don't --

You don't have to apologize.well...

Jesse: I feel like
my relationship with wes

Right now
is really strong,
