- Starting to get worried
about this boat

not providing us with more fish.

How much longer
can we go like this, Ted?

- Brooke is pushing herself
farther than she should.

Let me carry
the big ones, please.

- Why don't you just
keep doing your thing?

- Oh--way!

Oh-oh-oh--
[overlapping shouting]

Oh, no!
- My dad gets fish,

and I have not
gotten a single one.

It's so frustrating.

- I'm going to set a trotline.

Oh, [bleep].
No.

Infection could spell the end
for us out here.

[dramatic music]

*

- This is gonna be
an incredible challenge.

- We're gonna be dropped off
in separate locations,

and one of us
has to find the other.

- Here we go.

- I've got to wait on
my brother.

Hopefully he'll be here soon.
- Please come tomorrow.

- I don't know where I'm going,
how long I'm gonna be out here.

All I have is
a compass bearing.

- It's a needle
in a haystack.

Can I even make it
to base camp?

- Dad!
- No way.

- Everything around you
is telling you

you need to go home.

[horn toots]
- Please leave me alone!

- If you don't work as a team,
it's game over.

- I can't hold the--
- Just hold it still.

- $500,000 would be
life-changing.

- I know.
- I feel like

the life
was sucked out of me.

- He's coming.
He sees me.

[mysterious music]

*

[waves rushing]

*

- Let me show you something.

This is called the yellow brick.

This is how you quit.

See this button?

There's this little door
you flip up--[pops tongue]

and you push the button.

We live in a push-button
world.

You want to watch TV,
you push the button.

Change the channel.

Lot of cars
are push-button start.

This is the everything button.

This button will get you
steak and eggs

and a hot shower
and a plane ride home.

Only press once,

then everything
magically happens.

This is also the button
that you push and you lose.

I'm not interested
in that button.

Although it sounds pretty good.

[laughs]

[somber music]

[birds calling]

*

- Just keep working
on that crab trap, man,

and if it starts producing,
it would help a lot.

- We decided that the holes
are too big on this crab trap,

so I think I'm gonna
weave sticks through the mesh,

and we'll drop it
in a deeper spot

and get it working for us,

'cause I spent
a lot of time on it.

It's kind of upsetting that
it's not catching anything.

- Gonna try to get the boat in
and get the crab trap out there.

We're both so low on energy,

we don't know if it's
the best use of our calories,

but...we're gonna go
for it anyways.

'Cause we need something
to happen out here,

and as hungry as we are...
[breathing hard]

I don't know.

We're just kinda
feeling like

we're not gonna win this.

- Every single thing

we have done as a project

has been a failure for us,

so we got to really dig
in mentally

and physically to try
to overcome this hump

so that we can excel out here.

- Let me help you
get in.

We're doing it.

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

- Sure.

[edgy music]

*

That's our
fire extinguisher,

which I found probably
three weeks ago,

and we're using it as a float
for our crab trap.

Finally coming into use.

*

Excellent.

Jim and I learned,
growing up,

that no matter what,
you just don't give up.

We've always had a strength

just passed down to us
from our parents,

who were entrepreneurs
and athletic and outdoorsy,

and just everything they've
done has been so contagious.

And even though
we've had tough times,

we're still chomping
at the bit

to try to make something
happen.

*

All right.

That took a lot out of me.

- Oh, Jim,
maybe that crab trap

will have something in it.

- I think it will.

[somber music]

*

[water trickling]
[birds calling]

*

- I think we've managed
to do okay for ourselves.

The cabin's done.

The fireplace is all done.

- It has allowed us to just

come in
at the end of a long day,

and you feel secure
and you're dry,

and it's a much
happier environment.

- So once you get
the place figured out

and how to live out here,
then it's how to stay sane.

We're gonna have to find
some things to stay occupied.

So we're at the stage--
we're making board games.

You see what I'm doing
here--

running that knife
through the back side here.

*

It's kind of nice
to have a project,

and I think we could use
a checkerboard around here.

[soft music]

- Dave's mind
is just so creative,

and he can build anything.

- Now I'm gonna make
some checkers,

and then I'm gonna beat my wife
at checkers--or lose.

*

- I haven't played checkers
in so long.

- Me neither.

*

- We're gonna play games.
Yay!

- About to get ugly
around here.

- You're going down.

That's what's gonna
happen.

[both chuckle]

Oh. Oh, gosh.

Oh, boy.

- King me.
- At the end of the day,

Dave and I,
coming into this together

as a husband and wife,

we can't just blow up
and have a disagreement

and go our separate ways
at the end of this deal.

No. We're tied
to each other forever.

We're parents.

We gotta be strong
for our kids.

You have to come
through it in one piece

and probably stronger
than you ever were.

- I'm no checker wizard.

I mean, you suck,
but I...

I'm no genius at it,
so, you'll get so much better.

You'll be a savant by the time
we're outta here.

- I hate you!
[both laughing]

[somber music]

*

[music lightens]

*

- It's gonna be really exciting
to check out the crab trap,

see if we have
anything in there.

I think it'd be a real
morale booster if we did.

[sighs]
[bleep].

I don't see the crab trap.

So...when I put out
the crab trap yesterday,

we didn't have much rope,
and, uh,

the float was just
kind of barely on the surface.

And now I can't see it at all.

So I'm hoping the float's
just underwater,

and as the tide comes down
a little more,

we'll be able to see it.

I'm trying to stay positive
that it'll show up.

*

We're gonna take the boat out
and go have a look for it.

All right, put it down
for a sec.

Oh. Okay.

- All the netting,
bait cage, cordage,

and fire extinguisher
appears to have been lost.

The water level is
3, 3 1/2 feet lower

than when we set it.
We can't see the float.

Maybe the fire extinguisher
filled with water and sunk.

So the only hope we have
is to go out there and look

and hope that we can see it
just below the surface.

In a survival situation,

these kinds of things
can mean life and death.

You lose your crab trap,

now you don't catch
any crabs, and you die.

You don't get a second chance.

Out here,
who's gonna be the one

that hits the wall first?

That's what this
experience really is.

- What's that?

- What?

- What's that?
- Where?

- Behind you.

- It's a seal.

- Oh, [bleep].

- Woof.
[high voice] Hello.

Can you find our crab trap?

Dude, I can't see anything.

- Jim, this was
our meal ticket, man.

Basically, all our projects

have just been
a total waste of time so far.

Probably would have had like

another three weeks
of energy

if we hadn't done
any of these things.

[somber music]

*

- Yeah, I see it.
It's right here.

- Thank God!

*

Jim sees the trap.

*

- Ted, we're saved.
- Yeah-hah!

- Yes.

I'm just gonna
pull this kelp up,

and I'll pull the whole thing
right up, bud.

*

- Man, if this thing
has crabs in it,

it's just gonna be...

absolute tragedy
to triumph situation.

[dramatic chords]

[energetic music]

*

[suspenseful music]

*

- Yeah, I see it.
It's right here.

Ted, we're saved.

- Yeah-hah!

- Yes.

I'm just gonna
pull this kelp up,

and I'll pull the whole thing
right up, bud.

- Man, if this thing
has crabs in it,

it's just gonna be...

absolute tragedy
to triumph situation.

Oh, it slipped off.

[edgy music]

*

It looks like the float
is not floating.

No!

Oh, no, Jim!

The float sunk.

No!

[bleep]!

*

- It's gone.
That's it, bud.

- You blew it.

You blew it.
The crab trap was your job.

- Yeah, it's my fault, bud.
Sure.

- No, you just
lost it off the kelp.

That's what I'm saying.
- Yeah, no, I couldn't help it.

It wasn't tangled enough.

- Well, you could have
reached out with your rod.

- Couldn't grab it.
It slipped off the kelp,

and then I watched it
just sink right to the bottom,

dude, like a stone.

- So the fire extinguisher
obviously had a hole in it,

and now our trap
is out there 30 feet deep.

[somber music]

- Dude, I can't believe
that just happened, man.

*

That is the worst.

*

- What should we do?

- Let's give up.
It's gone.

- Today was a really
bad day for me.

I had absolutely no energy,

and now we've lost
our crab trap.

Everything we've made
is a flop, Jim.

- You're such
a depressed case, bud.

Like, cheer up a little.

- Take your rod out
of the boat already.

- I'm trying to.

- We're basically
starving to death,

and one of the risks is
that we get in an argument

that we can't come back from,
where one of us, you know,

just gets pissed and taps out.

*

- Just, like, you know,
I wanna able to [bleep]

survive out here,
and we're just not, you know?

We're, like, slowly
[bleep] starving

is what's happening.

This is why we're gonna lose.

This is dumb,
[bleep] like this.

Maybe we should just
throw in the towel.

[soft ethereal music]

*

*

- Oh, it's gonna be
so exciting to get home.

- It will be nice.

- Hopefully everybody
will be excited to see us.

- Hopefully.
[laughs]

- "Oh, you're back, huh?"
"Yeah."

"You were out there a while.
Why didn't you just stay?"

[both chuckling]

[soft music]

*

Sam and I have fought
to keep a positive attitude.

I mean, it's a challenge,

but we're one day
closer to our goal,

and it could happen
any time.

The bank that we use

when we come in
from out front

where all the water is
is pretty high,

and it's difficult,
sometimes, to get up there.

So we're thinking about
making a little ladder.

- Got a few trees close by
camp that we've scouted out.

We think they're gonna be
pretty good trees

to make our ladder with.

You really think that's big
enough for the upright?

- Absolutely.
Just be careful up there.

- Yep.

So far, I think
we're doing really well.

I'm so proud of everything
we accomplished,

but my biggest concern
going out here

is just the accident factor.

That is what I'm
most concerned about,

is just something happening

that just ends it for us
just like that.

Totally unavoidable.
That would be a nightmare.

That would be horrible.

You could just fall
and twist your ankle,

and out here,
that would be devastating.

You know, and it's that
momentary slip of attention

that is,
in the end, devastating.

That's what I'm most
worried about.

You just gotta be smart,
you gotta be prepared,

and you gotta stay
a step ahead of it.

*

- So the reason I'm making
all of these cuts like this

is so that I'll be able
to take the big knife

and, with a baton,

go ahead and knock
those pieces out of there

and make a real nice
notch like that.

I think one of man's
most important things in life

is to replace themselves
in the next generation,

and that's one
of the basic things

for any biological unit.

To do it well
is the big thing.

And I think that one day,
Sam will be a wonderful father.

- That looks
pretty darn good, d.

That's awesome.

[light music]

- Give it a try.

- Oh, yeah.

- Isn't that nice?
- That is so nice.

- Yeah.
- We did it.

- [laughs]
How about that?

Nice.

[somber music]

*

- I'm feeling
pretty wiped out today.

I really wonder how long
this is gonna go on.

[flames crackling]

[sniffs]

That's a really
hard part of this--

not knowing what's going on.

Not knowing
who's still out there,

how long you're gonna be here.

It's hard to wrap your head
around the unknowns.

Dave's out fishing right now.

I don't know,
but today I just feel like

I got sideswiped...
[laughs]

so I'm gonna listen
to my body and take it easy.

I think I might lay down,
take a little nap.

[quiet music]

- Tide's turning,
starting to come in.

Hopefully will be good fishing
here for the next half hour.

*

I don't have any energy.

I mean, I am just spent.

[sniffs]

You're catching fish,
you're doing well,

and then for over
a week, nothing.

*

Good shot.

Nope.

Missed it.

We're depleted enough that
you're starting to get wobbly.

You're starting
to really get shaky.

Brooke is very weak.
She's just going downhill.

I've never,
ever seen that from her.

And now
it's just going to be

nothing but toil
from here on out.

[fire snapping,
crackling]

[Brooke screams]

[logs clattering]
- Honey!

[breathing hard]

[dramatic music]

[somber music]

*

[fire snapping,
crackling]

[Brooke screams]

[logs clattering]
- Honey!

[breathing hard]

*

Oh, my goodness.

That was scary.

*

I was laying there resting,

and, uh, I heard some--

a whoosh sound,

a flame sound,

and I look up,

and the chimney--

the chimney was on fire.

So from the inside,

I pushed it out.

Problem was, it was
all these punky poles.

They instantly dried out.

*

If I had not been here

and went fishing
with Dave this morning,

we probably would have
burned this place down.

So scary.

[somber music]

Holy crap.
That was close.

I got to rebuild
this chimney now.

It's just gonna eat up
some energy, but--crap.

You can't be
burning the house down.

*

[soft instrumentals]

*

- Too bad that crab
trap got lost.

- I know, man.

- Sucks, eh?

- And, like, even finding it

is just so much energy
that it's like...

- Yeah.
- [sighs]

It would have provided us
with some food, man.

- I think that
the concern is

we've never felt like this
before from hunger,

so we have that fear that,
like, are we gonna, like,

starve to death
kind of thing, right?

Or how much longer
can we last

until we just can't get up
or we can't move, right?

[somber music]

*

[dark chords]

*

- So I've been laying
in my shelter, and I noticed,

when I lay on my left side,
which is facing the wall,

I've been smelling these
absolutely horrible smells,

you know?
For the past, like, three days.

And I had no idea what it was.

You know, I keep, like,
my batteries there,

my yellow brick.

It's like, that stuff
can't smell like death,

and I know why it
smelled like death,

is becausethat's .

It was a rotting
little periwinkle.

It's kind of funny.
Really glad it's over with.

I think really
our main goal for today

is to make it out to the point
and get some fish,

and fingers crossed,
we'll get something.

[edgy music]

- Wow, look at that flow.
- I know.

This water's
just moving so fast.

- Yeah, this'll be interesting
to see if we can even fish.

- I know.

Every fish we've eaten
out here has been my dad.

I have not caught
a single fish.

I'm literally
standing feet away from him,

and he'll be slaying the fish,
you know.

He's getting bites
and I'm just standing there,

just holding the stick.

- I felt a little tug.

Come on, fishy.

[soft, edgy music]

*

Yes!
- Yes!

Holy cow, Dad!

Nice catch.

- How about that?
- Awesome, Dad.

*

- I think that you give
your child

everything
that you can give them,

and with Sam,
with either of my children,

I would provide for them
as long as I'm able.

It's something a dad does.

- With this extreme tide,
it's incredible

the amount of
sea life we've been noticing.

Like, you can see
starfish everywhere

and red crabs,

and those little guys
are full of meat.

The red crabs...

they don't like
hanging around the rocks.

They prefer
the muddier areas.

[somber music]

Red crab.
- No. Really?

- Dad, I need you to pull
my sleeves up real quick.

Okay, thank you.
See 'em?

- Oh, that's in deep water.

Just be careful.
Take your time.

- I know.

*

[dramatic music]

*

- That's in deep water.

You gotta be really careful.

- I know.
- Be careful. Take your time.

- Oh, oh, [bleep].
He's on the move.

- Holy cow.

- Oh, he's moving quick.

Oh, yeah!
- Nice!

Holy cow.
- Oh, yeah!

- Holy cow!
- Look at that beefy boy.

- Beautiful.

- Check it out.

The first red crab
we've gotten out here.

Not a giant by any means,

but those claws
are definitely gonna have

a good old bite of meat in them.

I'm really looking
forward to this.

[anticipatory music]

*

Holy cow.

That is what
I am talking about.

Yes!

Got ourselves some dinner.

*

That was actually
a really tasty bite.

- This side was down
in the saltwater.

- Oh, there you go.

*

- It is so good.

Man, I wish every fish that
we caught tasted like this.

[rain pattering on roof]

- We've been in
the zone lately.

We just got to stay there.

- That's right.
[rain pattering]

You know, I've been dreaming
about this for ten years.

If we stay out here the longest,
if we win...

- Mm-hmm.
- My dream is to

get an aluminum boat.

- It'd be fantastic.
- Set it up for crabbing.

We could put it in the river
right by the house.

- If we can win this,

I'm gonna take
a year off of work.

- [laughs] Yeah.
- You know, I'm gonna take

a whole year off,
and we're just gonna

go out
on the boat every day.

We're gonna go crabbing.

We're gonna go crabbing,
like, twice a week, probably.

That's what's driving us
every day,

and just the world
of possibilities.

That boat and a whole year
off of work.

Oh, it's gonna be so much fun.

*

[edgy music]

*

[birds peeping, calling]

*

- It's the morning
of the 31st day.

Spent another night
in our cabin.

Fishing, firewood.
That's it.

That's all that's on the agenda.

Brooke is currently
warming up by the fire.

What do you have
to say this morning?

- Lovely day for eating.
[fire crackling]

I like to eat.

- Your hair is awesome.

[laughing]

- Thank you.

I do what I can.

- We need to go out and get
a bunch of fish

and turn this cabin

into a fish smoking cannery
processing plant,

because we need to gain a pound.

*

- As the days go by,

your body is more depleted,

and when your body
is not getting what it needs,

it starts to freak
your mind out.

And suddenly,
everything is enhanced,

and that is the psychology
of survival.

That is when you really
dig down

and see what you've got
in reserve to make it work.

You're trying to stay
in command of your mind

so you can stay
when everything around you

is telling you
you need to go home.

- Ooh, fish on.
- Yes.

*

- Yeah-ha!
- Nice.

*

Fish on.

- Good job, babe.

- Oh, it's a good one.
I don't want to lose it.

- Well--
- Oh, yeah.

- Good job, man.
- Oh, yeah.

- That is awesome.

*

- Yay.
Two fish already.

Makes me feel
so much better.

*

Fish on.

- Good job, babe.

- I gotta get it
up here.

Yay!
- Whoo!

- He's lively.

It's a good size.
[sniffles]

*

- This guy's pretty cool.
Check him out.

Blue inside, blue outside.

That is just...

that's just amazing.

I don't know if that shows,
but, pfft, wow.

I mean, this guy is blue.

Couple of very nice fish.

Very thankful.
[exhales]

This was a good day for us,

but the fact is,
from a calorie standpoint,

either one of us could
eat three, four fish a day

before we would gain
back anything.

Brooke
dropped so much weight.

We've got to put
more food on the table.

Otherwise...

I don't know
what's gonna happen.

[dramatic chords]

[dramatic music]

*

- I'm starting
to really see Ted

get really down and depressed.

It just gets really
frustrating.

Just not gonna
let Ted bother me.

Find a happy place.

[inhales]

Happy. Happy place.

Look, a unicorn.

[sighs]

- [sniffles]

Oh, man.

We don't have
enough food for dinner.

- Yeah.

- Gotta forage.

[somber music]
Hmm.

Should start stockpiling.

Let's plan to have

two meals a day
for five days saved.

- Might be a little ambitious,
don't you think?

- No.

It's worth the output
to forage,

and it's more of a guarantee.

- Yeah, I don't want to [bleep]
kill myself doing that, man.

I don't know if we have
the energy to forage that much.

- Seems to be working
pretty well,

for the most part.

- I don't think so.
You forage and I'll fish.

We will see what happens,

and we'll see what the future
has to hold.

- All right.

[groans]

*

- We're really gonna have
to dig deep here,

'cause we both want this
so bad.

*

Families and ourselves
and our girlfriends

and, you know,
we owe it to them

to give it everything we got.

Figure I need another hundred
of these crabs, at least.

For us to win, we have to be
prepared to do anything,

and how well you could
actually stock up

and actually prepare the
way the natives would have

makes you realize
the value of foraging.

You plan for the worst,
hope for the best,

especially
in a survival situation.

Whoa-ho!

*

[bass chords]

Foraging is more of an insurance
of getting something,

where fishing's
more hit and miss.

But, you know,
no risk, no reward,

because fishing offers
the best food, it fills us up,

it gives us the best energy,
it tastes better,

it's a huge
morale booster for us.

And I just think that this
is the best survival strategy.

I think Ted exerts himself
so intensely

every single freaking day
to bring food back home,

and long-term,
that's too much work.

- Jim is thinking foraging
is a waste of time.

Like, I get it.
This sucks, this is terrible,

but shore crabs, seaweed,

limpets...

these things
can't be taken for granted.

At the end of the day,
it actually keeps us alive.

[deep breath]
- Well...

right now I'm feeling
a little discouraged

that I haven't caught anything.

It's a really cold
and windy day.

Doesn't feel very fishy today.

Well, I'm gonna go back,
get some rest,

'cause I want to get up
and fish tomorrow.

[soft music]

*

- Seems like I have to, like,
force you into foraging,

and then, like,
I'm always the only one,

and I always come back
with more food, and, like,

and anything
I don't wanna do--

Whenever I don't wanna
do something your way,

you get pissed.

- I don't know,

it's just particularly
surrounding foraging.

If you haven't realized,

it's foraging that
wins this show.

- Well, you want to keep a bunch
in reserve, and I don't think

that's as important
as you think it is.

*

[energetic music]

- As the days move forward,
it's just getting harder,

which I didn't even think
it was possible.

*

All I'm doing is just
turning over rocks,

and my energy levels are--
absolutely just suck.

411.

12.

13.

I'm doing the heavy
lifting right now,

and Jim isn't contributing.

So just so y'all know,

that's what 600
limpets looks like.

[edgy music]

*

It's maybe about
6 feet deep here.

Just trying to jig
right off the rocks and sit.

Takes very little energy
to do that,

rather than standing
and casting.

*

Nothing's biting today, Ted.

- What?
- Nothing's biting. Nothin'.

[dark notes]

*

- Out here,
I'm slowly learning

that people don't survive
by themselves.

You need help,
and for Jim and I,

our survival depends
on each other so much.

And in this case,

having my particular
brother is just tough.

- Now I'm just really,
really beat.

[dark music]

*

- He's always so exhausted

and blah, blah, blah,
and he thinks,

"Oh, maybe we should
just cut our losses

"and not get the food,

"because we're expending
more energy

than the calories
we're collecting,"

but if we're actually
planning on winning this,

we need to work
together as a team.

*

You know, I just feel like
everything we have right now

is a result of my hard work.

[dramatic musical sting]

*

- What are you gonna do?
- I don't know.

Probably just lie down
or something for a bit.

*

- Huh.
Why don't you come fish then?

- I don't know.
I don't have the energy, man.

I'm [bleep] dead.

- All right.

*

At this point,

if someone's not
pulling their weight,

we're just [bleep].

[dramatic music]

*

*

- My freaking butt has lost

so much fat and muscle
off of it

that it's so bony
it hurts me to sit.

[soft music]

We have two full days
of food in hand.

Ted really wanted to go out
and forage again tonight,

and I said, you know, let's just
take it easy, man, you know?

- The limpets
are out like crazy.

*

We're totally exhausted,

but we have no choice
but to get a lot of food.

*

- We have, like, at least
four pots of food here.

- Yeah, but that's only, like,
two days, not even.

I think if you would
come out, though,

once you got out here,

you would have felt pretty good,
and you could have easily--

- I'm actually feeling really
good right now and relaxed.

- The limpets are swarming now,
and they, like--

that doesn't happen
for another, like,

two weeks, you know?

- I think you're too scared.

[dark notes]

- I'm not scared.

I just know that I'm getting
all the [bleep] food foraging,

and you're always not.

And every time,
I forage way more than you,

and you always are complaining
and don't want to do it.

- Why are you picking
an argument with me right now?

- I'm not, I'm just saying--
- I thought we were over this.

You're just hungry
and you're mad,

and you're acting like
a [bleep] ass[bleep].

- [inaudible] take, like, half
an hour to try to get some food.

- I think you're just mad

that you haven't
even caught one fish.

- No, not at all.
I've provided way more food

than the fish you've caught,
if you haven't realized.

- You're the big hero.
- I'm not the hero.

I'm just saying, dude--
- The big guy

that's talked me
into everything.

- If you want to win
$500,000,

you can't sit on your ass
and not get food.

- Thank God for Ted.
Let me bow to you!

- Okay, man.
Shut up.

- It's all you out here, bud.
- Let it go, man.

- It's just all you.
I'm not doing anything.

- [bleep] this [bleep],
man.

[bleep] this dumb [bleep].
That's it for me.

- Talking about the wire
for the rock.

That's all I was trying
to say, [bleep] damn it.

When you haven't eaten,
what sort of demons

come out in your personality?

- If this doesn't pan out, I
don't know what we're gonna do.

- I've never had to starve
like this before.

It makes you want to tap
that button.

- I have really
intense abdominal pain.

- I'm really concerned for Ted.

He might not have
much time left.
