01x03 - Man-down

[bunniefuu]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Nick] Let's go. You're good!

Get there!

[Jordan] I see Charlie

coming up on my right side.

I'm not worried about them.

[narrator] But Charlie

is quickly catching up.

Almost, almost, almost.

[Joel] Uh-oh. He started slowing down.

[narrator] Alpha Team has yet

to put their craft into the water.

If you had us a boat, we could go.

I'm working on it.

It's a little too late for that.

We're counting on Bravo.

[scoffs]

[narrator] Their only other shot

at a crab pot for protein

rests in their alliance with Team Bravo.

[Javier] Use the stick as a gondola, man.

Brian, it's still shallow.

You can push with the ground.

Use the stick. Push the ground!

It's not that easy.

The current's too strong!

[Javier] Please, push the ground!

- Look, it doesn't work!

- [Javier] Use the stick!

It doesn't Now what?

[Javier] Use the other stick!

Push the ground!

Only one stick!

Shut up.

[Jordan] There goes Charlie Team.

I'm almost kinda chuckling at her.

I'm going right at the island.

She's going to the right.

What are you doing?

That's a huge mistake.

She's gonna go right past that island.

[Nick] Aim for the middle of the island,

not the nose, or you'll miss.

[suspenseful music continues]

[Jordan] She read the current

better than I did.

She zipped right past me,

and she was gone.

[Nick] She's goin'. Look, hey.

She's gonna get it, look. Go!

She caught the current perfect.

Woo!

- [Nick] Yes, girl!

- [Seth] You got it!

[narrator] But in the end,

Angie from Team Charlie,

is the first player

to make it to the island.

[Nick] Victory. Tastes like food, baby.

[panting]

- [narrator] Exhausted and wet

- Hell, yeah.

Angie must still find the crab pots.

But with only five on the island,

will she take just one to feed her team,

or will she take them all

to sabotage the others

and push her team ahead in the competition

for one million dollars?

All right.

Let's feed the boys.

[theme music playing]

[Justin] I'm here to play the game.

I'm here to win.

What is this?

Oh, yeah!

I didn't even see this in front of me.

Oh! [chuckles]

It blended in!

[grunts]

Woo!

[narrator] Dungeness crabs

are abundant in Alaska.

Rich in protein and amino acids,

just one crab per person

is a satisfying meal.

Oh, baby.

I can't wait to fill this thing up.

[narrator] And these crab pots

can hold up to 12 crabs each.

[Angie] Oh, sh*t.

I think I proved to everybody here

[grunts]

that if they want anybody

on their team, it's me.

Absolutely.

I got three,

and I think that's my max carry.

[narrator] Even though one crab pot

is more than enough to keep her team fed,

Angie takes as many as she can carry

in effort to cr*pple the other teams.

[Angie] I'm just robbing everybody,

and I ain't ashamed.

[narrator] Delta Team's Jordan

was swept up by the currents

and missed the island entirely.

[Jordan] I dropped the ball.

I took the wrong path,

and the river's gonna take me

wherever the hell it wants.

[narrator] Team Alpha's raft

is still incomplete,

and with the tide on its way back out,

their window to get to the island

is quickly closing.

[Jill] Perfectionism is what we pride

ourselves in. I know I have my whole life.

But out here,

we don't have time for perfectionism.

[narrator]

And Alpha's alliance team Bravo

[Javier] You're halfway there, man.

Come on.

also fares poorly

in navigating the Neka currents.

[Javier] Come on. You got this!

It's done. The current's too strong.

We needed to leave at our campsite!

He didn't follow

any of the advice or my pleas.

Can you swim it?

[Brian] I ain't going in the water.

[bleep] I lost the stick.

[atmospheric music playing]

[narrator] After a grueling race

against the other teams,

Angie is the only player

returning to camp with a victory.

[Angie] It was Nick that doubted me.

To show up with not one but three,

after him telling me that I couldn't do it

because he believed that I was trying

to take an easy way out of this game,

I just couldn't wait

to just shove it in his face.

- [Nick] We got three?!

- [Angie] Yeah.

[Nick] I can't believe you got three.

Hell, yes.

Oh, man.

I feel bad, Angie.

Like, good job.

You made us proud.

But at the same time,

I am banging myself up inside my head.

We're eating now, boys.

[narrator] It could take

at least another day

before they're able

to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The next steps are to wait

for the tide to come in,

set the traps in the river,

and pray that they do their job.

How wet are my next pants and jacket?

[Seth] Your pants seem like

they're pretty saturated.

I don't like being in bed, man,

and everything is just wet.

It's taking forever 'cause I'm using

my body heat and this sleeping bag.

And it sucks

because the guys are up doing stuff,

and I'm just warming my clothes up,

just to be able to get out of this bag.

I feel useless right now.

[narrator] Despite their victory, tensions

between Nick and Angie are still high.

It is just out of character for me,

so I apologize.

I mean, I started it.

We were both exhausted.

So, I came out inappropriate,

and came out the wrong way,

and I kind of triggered her.

I didn't know what I was saying.

It just came out.

Literally, while I was talking, I'm like,

"What the [bleep]? What are you saying?"

Especially when you told me it triggered

your PTSD. I'm like, "My God."

[Angie] Yeah, it's a male thing, dude.

I get it. I was, like,

immediately ashamed of myself.

I understand your apology.

I see where you're coming from.

Hopefully, it doesn't happen again.

'Cause I won't hold back,

and I don't hold back.

- [Nick] I apologize.

- [Angie] I'm still happy with our team.

[Nick] Yeah, me too. I'm definitely happy.

[Angie] We just hit a rough patch.

It's all right, though.

[Nick] Plus, that was

high-stakes stuff, man.

Everybody wanted to throw down.

Not one person was like,

"Let someone else do it."

I think, in a weird way, I kinda lit

a little bit of a fire under her.

And so, not thank me,

but also, well, it didn't

turn out that bad, did it? [chuckles]

[Angie] It took forever, but I'm dry!

I think he sees me

in a whole other way now.

At least, I hope he does.

[Javier] Give me your stick. I'll pull ya.

- You soaking wet?

- [Brian] My boots are soaked. [bleep]

Damn it, I'm [bleep] now. Goddammit.

[western music playing]

[Brian] My whole inside is wet.

How the hell

am I gonna sleep tonight? I'm done.

How'd it go?

Well, it woulda got over,

but the current was too strong.

- Really.

- [Javier] And so

- Like taking you too quick?

- We put in too close to the island.

We should've been, maybe here.

I can feel good about myself.

I wanted to launch this thing at the camp,

utilize the current,

and aim that raft to the island.

We went out,

and the current was just pulling me

Yeah, it started dropping fast.

- I mean, look. This is an hour, I think.

- Yeah.

We gotta get him warm.

Sorry, guys.

- All right.

- See you later.

- I'll see ya.

- Take care.

[Brian] It was Javier's fault

we failed, obviously.

I let him make the final call,

and it was his failure.

It wasn't my failure.

[narrator] The agreement

between Alpha and Bravo

to share crab pots

with each other yields nothing.

There's a part of me

that wishes that Team Alpha

- was on that water right now

- I know.

going for the crabs because

Do we address it, or do we just let it go?

I don't know. I'm kinda fired up.

I am too, and you can tell it

'cause I'm running my mouth.

[Jill] I was counting on Justin

to build this boat,

and he failed, majorly.

Let's get the map.

Well, guess what?

This race, it's not over yet.

So, this is a tomorrow thing.

When low tide hits,

we can get across. We can walk to 'em.

I'll find the way

to get to the island without Justin.

[narrator] Jill is the only player

on the game board to discover

that there is more than one

way to get to the island.

When timed correctly with the tides,

it can be reached by foot.

Jordan from Team Delta

is also coming back empty-handed.

[Jordan] I'm trying to realize

why I lost that battle,

why I lost that fight.

[narrator] His fruitless fight

against the currents

has caused him to burn

over a thousand precious calories,

leaving him physically

and emotionally depleted.

I'm tired. I'm cold. I'm wet. I'm hungry.

And I just got my a*s

handed to me on the river.

[narrator] His team

is unaware of the outcome.

[Jordan] My team has done their job.

I haven't done mine.

What's up, dude?

So

[voice breaks]

I felt the weight of that failure.

[dramatic music playing]

[voice breaks]

I'm so sorry, guys. I really thought

- Hey.

- Hey.

- I really tried to get it.

- [Paul] Come here, buddy.

[Joel] Nope, that's all right.

That's all right.

When Jordan came back,

I felt bad for him, you know.

That's my buddy. I wanna

keep him around 'til the very end.

- That's just a tough one.

- No. It is what it is.

We got a good boat, got another day.

That boat'll take us

wherever we need to go.

- We have tons of mussels for dinner.

- All right.

We'll get you taken care of. We're doing

the bed so you can come take a nap.

Don't think nothing more of it, dude.

[atmospheric music playing]

Heating tiny things is tedious,

but we need it.

I know.

[narrator] With the day's mission

ending in failure,

Bravo Team resorts to their last batch

of mussels to curb their appetite.

[Brian] So, Justin never put

that boat in the water?

[Javier]

Justin didn't even finish the boat.

We started an alliance with Jill

and Amber and Justin's team.

But now, I feel like

if they join forces with us,

they have to bring something.

And so far, it's been absolutely nothing.

Wait, are the boots dry now?

Yeah, a miracle happened

and they actually somewhat dried.

They're not totally dry,

but I'll live another day.

[Javier] I know I was upset with Brian,

but then I realized

I don't wanna lose Brian.

I kind of suddenly

had more of a fear in me.

[exhales]

What about you? What are you feeling like?

I tell you what.

I feel better that you're better.

If Brian goes down,

I gotta pack up my sh*t

and either find another team to join,

if they have me, or that's it.

My run here is done.

And so, yeah, crab would be nice,

but I'd rather keep my buddy.

I'm glad I'm stuck here with you, man.

- Yeah, same here.

- I'm glad you feel better.

I'd kinda sorta be [bleep]

without you, buddy.

[narrator] A frigid night seven

moves into a cold day eight morning

on the Alaskan game board.

While yesterday was a big setback

for three of the four teams,

there are still two crab pots

remaining on the island.

[Jill] Okay, ready.

[narrator] However, Alpha's raft

is still incomplete.

Still at it. Just cleaning her up.

We need to hurry.

[narrator] Fed up with waiting

for Justin to finish his raft,

Amber and Jill hatch a risky plan

to get the crab pots without one.

[Jill] So, we've decided

to take advantage of this low tide.

We're gonna hike the line as quick

as we can, before the tide comes in.

Okay, yeah.

[Jill] Let's see

if we can't get across in low tide.

I think that we're connected

to the island.

[narrator] In Neka Bay, the tides

reach their highest and lowest peaks

about every six hours.

It reached its lowest

at 6:20 a.m. this morning.

By 12:48 this afternoon,

the water will be up to 16 feet deep.

[Jill] Oh my God, look!

We can walk to the island.

[laughs] We can get our pots.

- [Jill] We are right on time.

- [both laughing]

[narrator] It took Amber and Jill

20 minutes to walk to the island.

[Jill] Look at that sight.

[narrator]

With the tide on its way back in

[Jill] Let's see if we can get to those.

[narrator] every minute they spend

looking for crab pots

increases their risk

of getting stranded there overnight

with no shelter or fire.

[Amber] Do you see anything?

[Jill] No.

Just another conch.

- I think we have plenty of those.

- Yeah.

[Jill] Setting it in that cove

is probably a bad idea.

Where are they?

[groans]

[Amber] You can tell

the tide is coming in.

[Jill] We got a job to do.

We can't worry about that.

[Amber] We're on a mission.

[Jill] Why can't we find the other pots?

[Amber] I know it.

Where the heck are they?

We're beachcombing, and they're not here.

[Jill groans]

So frustrating.

The more tired and hungry that I get,

like, the more frustrated quicker I get.

[frustrated scream]

[narrator] As Amber and Jill

try to fight the rising river

in their search for crab traps

Dawn, from Team Delta,

finds a potential threat near their camp.

[Dawn] Bear tracks.

Oh, yeah.

Look at that.

[Jordan] That might've been the thing

I heard outside the camp.

- Doesn't seem like a very big bear.

- [Paul] No, it's not very big.

- No, I think you can take him, Jordan.

- [chuckles]

[Nick] Hey, y'all, hold up.

[tense music playing]

[Nick] Wanna talk legit.

Let's talk to these chumps.

See what they're about.

[whispering] Mess with 'em.

[narrator] Team Charlie

seizes the opportunity

to gather intel

on their competitors, Team Delta.

- [Paul] What's up, neighbor?

- [Angie] What's up?

[Nick] Good to see you all.

[Dawn] Hey, how are you?

[Angie] How's it going, man?

How's it going?

- Getting ready for this cold?

- I like the cold. I don't dig the wet.

Yeah, unfortunately,

we're gonna get more of it.

- [Angie] Oh, absolutely.

- Yeah, that's a fact.

[tense music continues]

Not gonna lie. I feel like

both of our teams are top.

What makes you think

you're as strong as our team?

I mean, we have three crab pots

to feed us all with, like, five crabs.

I was the only one to make it

to the island out of how many people?

[Seth] We are number one.

Yesterday proves that.

But we definitely want

a fourth member to join our team.

So, I think if we can

maybe get one person from their team,

and then that'll put us

back up to a team of four

and then obviously, give us an advantage,

muscle-wise, over the other team.

We're the last four team.

So far.

You can't You gonna gain somebody else?

[Nick] We've been looking for another one.

We wanted you guys to check it out.

See what's on the better side.

- On the better side.

- Absolutely.

Delta's definitely in the running

for the top dog out here.

I mean, they're a whole team

full of good competitors.

I don't think it would be smart

to take somebody

just to weaken their numbers

and boost ours.

At the end of the day, there's gonna be

three teams that's not gonna win,

and I definitely wanna be

on the winning team.

If I were you, with three,

and you only have a slot for one,

I would take someone from over there.

- We thought about that.

- Get that one out.

- [Angie] We know who we want.

- We know who we like.

Who were you guys thinking?

- [Seth] We can't tell you.

- [Nick] Can't tell you yet.

Charlie Camp, they really approached us

with the wrong demeanor.

"Our camp is the best

and blah, blah, blah, blah."

You come in and tell us

you only want one of us,

and you don't have the ba*ls

to tell us? Come on, man.

[Paul] Just to be

straight up with you guys,

we're pretty tight.

Um, so we're not gonna break it up.

But if something was to happen, you know,

and it gets down to where that comes,

we appreciate the invite, and we're open

to discuss if something happens.

- Okay, that's fair.

- When it starts getting cold

- We're here to warm you up.

- Okay.

Like we've stated from day one,

best-case scenario

is that the four we started with is,

we just dominate.

- [Seth] Y'all take it easy, guys.

- [Angie] Take care.

[Paul] Stay safe.

But when it comes down to it,

my goal, obviously, is to win this.

You gotta keep your options open.

[tense music playing]

[narrator] Amber and Jill from Team Alpha

are still on the island

looking for the remaining crab pots.

[Jill groans, frustrated]

[narrator] Unfortunately,

their window to walk on dry ground

back to camp has closed.

[Jill] It's already covering up.

Well, we're gonna have to abandon this.

And get across.

[screams]

Yes! Yes!

[upbeat music playing]

[Jill] We found our crab pots.

And we not only retrieved ours,

we retrieved Bravo's

to prove to them, you know,

we're trying to make an alliance

with you and be five strong.

[Amber] [bleep]

Did the tide already come in?

[Jill] Man, I wish we'd have got up

this morning earlier.

[narrator] Amber and Jill

have no way of knowing

how deep

the near-freezing water has risen.

[Jill] sh*t. We're screwed.

The water has came in, significantly.

[narrator] They are faced with a choice.

Stay on the island and wait out the tides,

or attempt to cross the river,

not knowing whether

they'll have to walk or swim back.

[Jill] [bleep] it. Oh my God!

[yells]

[Amber] Mother [bleep].

It's not getting any lower.

- [exhales]

- [Jill] Oh, that's deep!

Oh my God! Ooh.

You're knee-deep, right there?

[Amber] Yep.

[Jill] sh*t, this was stupid.

[sighs]

It got deeper

[groans]

and deeper.

[narrator] The water temperature

is below 40 degrees

[groans]

which means Amber and Jill

are at a severe risk of hypothermia.

[exhales]

[groans]

Oh!

Oh my God.

[Jill] At this point, it's already been

close to 25 minutes

that we've been in these icy clothes, wet.

[narrator] Now, soaking wet

and exposed to the cold Alaskan air

[Amber] I'm cold.

the longer hypothermia is left untreated,

the deadlier the consequences.

[Jill] I knew it,

and I felt it go into my knees,

and I'm just, oh sh*t,

we're freezing to death.

[narrator] They must change

into dry clothes immediately,

or their heart rate could drop low enough

to send them into a coma.

We were on the verge of hypothermia,

and we had to get fire quick, quick-quick.

[narrator] So, Amber and Jill

rush back to camp,

expecting their teammate Justin

has kept the fire going

while they were gone.

[exhaling]

[Jill] My body is lacking

to maintain warmth.

[tense music playing]

[Amber] Hey, Justin!

- Yeah.

- [Amber] We're gonna need you, man!

[narrator] Their teammate

has let them down, once again.

[Jill] Soon as we get the fire going,

then we can get in the sleeping bags.

So here we are, freezing to death,

trying to get a fire.

We need our third teammate.

Justin, we need your help!

I know you heard us hollering at you.

I know that you responded

when she yelled at you to come help us,

and you didn't do it.

I don't know if it was just tunnel vision

that we continue to see in Justin

working on the boat,

but it's just disrespectful.

[Justin] What the hell happened?

[Amber] We got the crab pots. We got

in the water. It was up to my chest.

If you'd have come over

when all that commotion was going on,

you would've known.

I couldn't hear.

If you came when we yelled to help us,

you would know that we're soaking wet.

[Justin]

It's not my fault you got in the water.

- Don't blame me.

- Jesus Christ, Justin!

[Justin] Jeez, I'm here.

I'm trying to assess what's going on.

- I didn't know what happened.

- [Jill] We're wet. We need a fire.

- [Justin] What do you need me to do?

- We need a fire.

[Justin] Check your tone talking to me.

I'm here to help.

Don't worry about a tone!

[Justin] I am worried because

I didn't understand what was going on.

If you woulda left your boat

for five seconds, you'd have found out.

I didn't know it was an emergency.

You coulda come and talked to me.

Are you serious?

- We're wet. You want us to come to you?

- [Justin] I didn't know!

You want me to read your mind?

- We want you to come when we call you.

- Don't assume I know what's going on.

Go play with your boat.

Don't tell me what to do.

If you want my help, I'm here.

- I can help, so

- [Jill] Yeah, you'll help, my a*s.

[Justin] Let go of your shitty attitude

and talk to me like a mature person.

I'm not gonna talk to you at all.

I'm done with you for the day.

It's taken Justin two days

to build this boat.

I'm losing confidence.

I don't want your help.

[scoffs]

- We manage just fine.

- What would you like, Amber?

- Split wood, cut feather sticks?

- [Amber] Yes, please.

If you could please

just cut those into smalls.

Just get my feet dry,

then I can take over.

[Justin] That's what happens when emotions

take control. You can't think straight.

You get shitty with people.

[Jill] He needs to prove to us that

he's worthy to be a part of this team.

[sighs]

It's gonna get nasty.

He may have to go find another team.

[narrator] Despite the turmoil

between team members,

Jill and Amber's risky strategy paid off

as they are the only other team besides

Charlie to win the crab pot challenge.

[intense music playing]

[wind howling]

[narrator] It's been nine days

in Alaska's unforgiving wilderness.

[Angie] I'm gonna bait the traps

[narrator] Team Charlie is hoping

to have a crab feast dinner tonight.

- [Angie]throw 'em out

- [Nick] Get us some crabs, girl.

- [Angie]and bring you some food, okay?

- [Nick] Do it.

So, turns out that it does make more sense

to put the lightest person on the raft.

You know, it's just physics.

[Angie] Heigh-h*, heigh-h*

Off to the crabs I go ♪

[narrator] Angie will brave the river

once again to set the crab pots

and after a few hours,

go back to collect them.

- [Seth] I believe in you, girl.

- [Nick] Happy hunting.

- [Angie] Thanks, guys.

- [Nick] Get it.

Like, nothing out here is easy.

This is all real.

We got the crab pot and it was a great

victory, but also, "Here's more work."

Uh, "Make it work."

[Angie] Bye, guys!

[Seth] Bye, Angie. k*ll it.

[Nick] But Angie's tough, so,

if it works out

and we can make this thing pull

and it brings us food,

then it will have been worth

all the risk in the world.

[narrator] Crab fishing in Alaska

can be dangerous and unpredictable.

Even if Angie is able to navigate

the forceful currents and set the traps,

there are no guarantees

she will catch anything.

All right.

[narrator] A crab pot works

by using bait to lure the crab

into one of three strategically

placed openings called leads.

The upward slope allows them

to easily enter but not escape.

These cull rings allow the

smaller size crabs to escape,

leaving more room for bulkier,

meatier crabs.

And with the least durable raft

of all the teams,

Angie is guaranteed to get wet

and risk hypothermia.

[Angie] Pretty scary stuff.

[narrator] Charlie is not the only team

hoping to secure crab today.

[Justin] Can you get the bow in?

Go ahead, set her down.

Okay. Wow.

- Thanks, girls.

- Yes.

[narrator] Alpha Team's raft

is finally ready for its maiden voyage.

[Amber] Yes!

- Woo!

- All right, we're off.

Woo! Ah!

I'll go get the other one.

Just toss it.

So, this is not just Team Alpha.

- This is Team Alpha and Team Bravo.

- Yes.

[Jill laughs]

- We're good?

- We're good.

Wish we'd have fashioned a better paddle.

Yeah, but

[Jill] If we'd have had

two sticks with a tarp on it,

it would have caught more water.

But he did not want any help.

[Justin] Building the raft did take me

away from the camp a little bit.

I was a little over-ambitious.

It did take me a little bit more time

than I anticipated.

Team Alpha, baby!

But was the time spent

well worth it? I would say so.

That's [bleep] epic.

[Jill] Justin and I,

we've had a couple little spats.

But he built the best boat.

No doubt, it is the best boat out here.

Maybe Justin will come through for us.

I guess we'll see.

[upbeat music playing]

[tense music playing]

[narrator] Since Delta is the only team

without a crab pot,

Paul is going on a solo hunting expedition

and hopes to secure protein for his team.

After a few hours

and minimal signs of wildlife

Yes [bleep].

he spots some markings on a tree

that indicate deer may be nearby.

[Paul] This tree's been used

for several years.

You can see they use this like a signpost.

Every deer that comes

through will probably hit that.

There's a buck using this area,

and he's a good one too.

This is definitely a good sign.

[narrator] As the most

experienced hunter on Delta Team,

the pressure on Paul

to catch a deer is high.

[Paul] Gosh, it's tough.

Now, we're down to very limited resources,

and sometimes

I feel like I'm not doing enough.

[narrator] Just one could yield

more than 50 pounds of meat,

enough to sustain them

for two to three weeks.

[Paul] Holy sh*t.

[tense stinger]

[Paul] Definitely a bear k*ll.

So close to camp too.

[narrator] The deer carcass is not only

a sign of danger for Paul and his team,

it means that he has stiff competition

when it comes to hunting.

Bears.

[unsettling music playing]

[Paul] Extra careful in here.

Damn squirrel. [exhales]

If I could just k*ll something!

[narrator] After nine days in the wild,

Paul is starting to lose faith in hunting

as a reliable food source for his team.

[Paul] To win the whole thing,

we've gotta get some protein.

What I've sacrificed to be here,

you guys don't know.

[sniffles]

[voice breaks]

I've had these in my sleeve.

[cries]

There's little notes on the back.

It says, "You got this, Daddy."

"We love you so much."

It's why I'm out here.

Makes it tough, you know. [exhales]

[narrator] Unfortunately for Team Delta,

Paul is returning to camp empty-handed.

While Team Delta faces their difficulties

[rain pattering]

[narrator] Justin takes his raft out

in hopes of securing crab,

but the weather takes an unexpected turn.

It's now foggy,

more cold, and more wet,

and Justin's patience is wearing thin.

[crack]

Are you [bleep] kidding me?

[pants]

Come on, come on, son.

Yeah!

[grunts]

Yeah, baby!

That's what I'm talking about.

[narrator] Justin collects a total

of 12 crabs for his team, Alpha,

and their alliance team, Bravo.

Woo-hoo!

[Jill and Amber] Woo-hoo!

[Justin] Come on down.

I bring gifts.

Wow! Look at the size of that guy!

[Amber gasps]

- We're gonna eat good tonight.

- What?

- Oh my gosh!

- [Jill] Are you serious?!

[narrator]

Though the last team to get crab pots,

Alpha is the first team to acquire crabs.

Oh my God!

[Amber] They're huge!

[narrator]

Deficient in protein for nine days,

the hearty shellfish meal

will replenish Team Alpha.

It's so heavy!

Oh, I'm so sorry I'm gonna eat you.

I need to remember

that Justin is who he is

and I am who I am,

and together, we make

an incredible, hard rock team.

I've had so many traumatic

experiences in my life

that I distrust human beings in general.

But from here on out, I will have

1,000% of my confidence in him,

and I'll be behind him with 100% support.

We've caught crabs in Alaska! [bleep]

Yes!

[narrator] Across the Neka River,

Charlie Camp waits to hear

if their crab mission was also a success.

[Angie] Nick! Seth!

- [Seth] Dude, that was Angie.

- [Nick] That was Angie?

Come see your dinner.

[Nick] We gonna eat tonight?

[Angie] Two each,

and these things are massive.

- [Nick] We eatin', baby!

- [Angie] Alaska provided!

- [Nick] Oh, man.

- [Angie chuckles]

- Fire's burning.

- Okay, let's all take the raft up.

[narrator] In a matter of hours,

Charlie Team's crab pot collected a total

of six Dungeness crabs,

weighing in at about three pounds each.

This haul will keep the team

moderately fed for the next two days.

[Angie] I think being here

and not having the basic things,

like food and water,

having to go and find it,

just makes you appreciate so much.

- [Angie] Thank you, sir.

- [Nick] Yep.

[Angie] You have to work for your stuff,

and it's just a strange,

true appreciation.

[Seth] Food, baby.

[Nick] Alaska provided.

[Nick and Seth, chanting]

Angie! h*-h*-h*-hugga bugga!

[Nick] They smell so good, oh my God.

[Angie] I got on this crazy-looking raft

and fed the group.

It was hard, but I did it.

Fire-roasted crab, oh my God.

Oh my God.

Proud of you, Angie.

- [Angie] Thanks, man.

- [Nick] Proud of all you.

[voice breaks] I think I'm just

not used to doing good

or being told I'm doing good.

Dude, I look like a savage just digging

into this thing, but I don't even care.

- [Seth] I think we're eating tonight.

- [Nick] Yeah, we eat'n.

E-A-T apostrophe N, eat'n.

- [Seth] [bleep] English teacher.

- [Nick laughs] We eatin'.

[narrator] Charlie

aren't the only ones

enjoying a hard-earned feast tonight.

Mm.

[Justin] You guys got the pots,

we set the pots,

we got the crab,

now we're eating the crab.

[Amber laughs]

- Alpha Team.

- [Jill] Alpha Team.

[narrator] Alpha Team stayed true

to their word by sharing their crab haul

with neighbors at Bravo Camp.

[Javier] Jill, Amber,

and Justin's kind gesture.

- Don't look at me when I'm eatin'.

- [both laughing]

Ah, look at that. Look at that.

Oh, yes!

Mm!

Oh my God.

[thunderclap]

[narrator] The only team who will not get

to eat a hearty Alaskan meal tonight

is Team Delta.

Well, I'm feeling it.

I'm starting to feel it now.

The fact remains, we have to have protein.

Jordan, how much longer can you make it?

Not much longer.

[Paul] I haven't eaten in two days,

and it's just catching up.

And I just wanna secure some protein.

Yeah.

I'd say that our team dynamic

is starting to break down

and lose its integrity a little bit.

The name of this game is survival.

You gotta rely on your team for that.

Right now, our team just

isn't producing what we need.

[narrator] Since their own

fishing and hunting efforts

have been unsuccessful,

they discuss how to score protein

from the other teams.

So, I mean, we got the option

of bartering for a crab pot.

We've got an option

to barter for straight-up crab.

[Dawn] I don't want

nothin' to do with Charlie Camp.

That's a no-go.

[Paul] You always

have to think about strategy.

It's hard because you're restricted

by teammates.

Matter of fact, if we don't get food soon,

maybe none of us'll be here.

But any idea I come up with

or anything I say, Dawn shoots it down.

[Dawn] But what about stealing

one of those crab pots out there?

Is that an option?

[Paul] We're opening up a can of sh*t

if we steal one of their crab pots.

[Dawn] It's a game, Paul.

We gotta play the game.

To be quite honest with you, I'm not

super comfortable in our camp anymore.

I'm thinking about the letter

telling us, you know,

hey, the team you started with

may not be the team you finish with.

If something don't change pretty soon,

then I may be flying a new flag.

[upbeat music playing]

[snoring]

- [Paul] Hey.

- [Jordan sniffles]

I just fell asleep chopping wood.

I feel like dog sh*t today.

I'm starting to feel the hunger,

the tired, the cold.

Since I've come out here,

I can already feel I've dropped a notch.

My body's hurting, man.

I can feel like I can't

Are you getting black spots

when you stand up?

I'm getting black spots just being around.

Just moving around,

I'm having a hard time.

[unsettling music playing]

[Jordan] As of right now,

I don't think I'm sitting

in a good position.

We're not bringing in

enough protein to eat.

I do not have

the right body type for this.

I do not have the fat reserves

stored up in my body.

Um, I'm pretty much I can play my ribs

right now like an instrument.

I'm having to fight

to stay conscious a lot of the times.

If I stop moving, I fall asleep,

which is just another sign telling me

that my body is eating itself.

My head is starting to hurt.

Yeah.

[Jordan] I'm getting sick.

Like my stomach's getting sick

from the mussels.

- Yeah.

- I can't stomach 'em anymore.

I'm worried

that I'm gonna start throwing it up,

and that's a bad call.

[Paul] I don't know how long Jordan's

gonna be around. He's my guy.

I want to keep him around to the very end.

But if Jordan decides to go,

I need to talk to Charlie Camp.

And I need to do it incognito. Huh.

[Jordan groans]

[Paul] You cool?

You want me to help you up?

[Jordan] I'm good. [grunts]

[atmospheric music playing]

[narrator]

The teams endure three more days

of Alaska's intense

climate and conditions.

[Dawn] Oh, the last couple days

have been kind of a game-changer.

[narrator] And Delta continues to

come up short when hunting and gathering.

We're all tired. Our bodies

are literally eating themselves.

[narrator]

Their food supply has diminished,

and they're running on fumes.

I feel like we're all just ticking time

bombs and we're all slowing down.

I can feel my mind is slipping.

I can feel I'm starting to

to lose my train of thought easier.

[Dawn] We all decided

we were gonna take a nice, relaxed day.

The only thing Joel and I were gonna do

is get mussels and fresh water.

The next thing I know, Paul's like,

"Well, I'm gonna go off and cut

a tree down 'cause I'm Paul Bunyan."

Jordan's like, "You can't do that

by yourself, so I'll go with you."

[Paul] I told him to stay in camp,

and he wouldn't do it. It's just Jordan.

He's in fifth gear the whole time.

He'd mentioned

he was feeling light-headed earlier.

Really, what it's coming down to

is that I need some [bleep] food.

[somber music playing]

I'm just I'm just at a low, weak spot.

[Paul] He just depleted himself,

and it was just a matter of time.

[jarring stinger]

[body thuds]

Heard a large thump,

and I look and he's face down in the mat.

[man] This is Safety Four, we need

a medic on scene at location Delta.

[intense music playing]

I think when he fell,

he hit his head hard on the ground.

[man] We have one male contestant down.

He is unresponsive.

[Paul] It's a really scary moment.

I was really concerned for my brother.

He was He was in a bad space.

[intense music builds]
