All language subtitles for 03 The Talons of Fear.en

Right up there.
I have no way to defend myself.

I'm not sleeping here
under a piece of canvas

with a bunch of wolves
behind me.

That was scary.
That was enough for me.

I've got to find water.

So I built a boat
out of a tarp and sticks.

I hear some water running,
a freshwater mountain stream.

Oh, yes.

Hello, bear.
You stay on your side.

So I got a big problem.
I lost my ferro rod.

If that's the case,

I have to keep
this fire going indefinitely.

I'm screwed.

I don't know what to do.

This is gonna be a bitch.

We have to film it,
and we're totally alone.

Nobody knows what it's like here

except for the ten guys out here
doing it.

Time to get shelter.

There's nobody here but me.

This is so
hard doing this alone.

I'm scared to death right now.

I feel like I'm starving.

Pretty sure I just saw a cougar.

Oh,.

The last man
standing wins $500,000.

I don't want to go home.
I want to win.

This is the
chance in a lifetime,

but it's not worth dying over.

It's funny
how time works here.

I don't think about clocks
or the hour of the day,

but I look out at the ocean,

and the tide now
has become my clock,

so I'm starting to--
starting to get into a rhythm.

First couple days
has been challenging

trying to find my groove
out here

and get in it

and just fit into the flow
of nature.

So we'll make the rounds
here at the supermarket.

See we have seaweed.

The upper portion
is the most palatable.

In my area
where I live geographically,

a lot of people come to me

to learn about plants
and things like that.

Satisfying.

During my time here
being in an area

that I'm totally
unfamiliar with,

I don't know a thing
about the plants,

and I'm gonna have to
rely heavily

on my instincts about things
and just observe and study

and make decisions on
what's going on in that world.

Bull kelp.

Hmm.

Tastes slimy,
yet substantial.

Lucky for me,
I'll eat about anything,

until you just get tired of it
and say, "I want to go home."

Would you
like green tea tropical

or organic African nectar?

I'm gonna
go with the green.

Like I said, it's not
a competition against people.

It's a competition
against myself.

I think that's something
that's common among everybody

that goes to the woods.

That's why you go there.

It's our church,
and that's our temple.

That's where we get in touch
with creation, creator, self,

and when you strip
everything away,

it gets pretty real.

This stuff is good,

but it don't have anything
on Nana's cooking.

Mmm.

So I need to get some firewood,

and I also want to build
a cabin,

so I think it's time we do
some serious work.

So let's drop a big tree.

Now, why am I building a cabin?

I really want four walls around
me that I can feel secure in.

If a big, bad bear is going
to come knocking at my door,

I'm going to have a few moments
to be able to grab my ax,

my spear,
or whatever.

So close.

I found clay.

I scored, because right here
is a deposit of clay.

There's so much
I can do with clay.

I can make vessels.

I can make--I could--
in between a fireplace

if I want to have
an indoor fireplace,

if I make it that far.

So I would be able to have
a fire indoors

with some stone and clay mixed.

I'd be able to eat food in there
and feel safe.

Plus,
I'd just be able to dry out.

I think the real challenge
is the psychology

of being here alone,

and if I can get four walls
around me

and a little fireplace,

I know I can last longer.

Whoo!

Perfect.

Oh, my God.

That was a lot of work.

The first time I hauled logs
out of the wood,

it was with my pop.

We would get firewood
on weekends.

I was, like, eight years old,

and all I wanted
to be doing was, like,

watching Ninja Turtles.

I despised it.

Now I really like it,

but he did teach me how to
move logs on my shoulder.

A couple times--the couple
first times I did it,

it was the most
painful experience,

and then after a while,
he was like,

"You know
there's a muscle on your back

"that you can kind of
balance stuff on,

and it isn't so bad as long
as you have good footing,"

and one day, I found it,
and something clicked,

and I was like, "Oh, yeah."

Okay.

Now I just need to adjust it.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, let's try it.

Whew.

I had a plan.

I got fire going.

I got water boiled up,

and that was great,
and I got some food in me,

and then after that, my plan was
to start building my shelter,

and I turned around, and my--
where I had set my fire steel

on top of my jacket,
I must have grabbed

my jacket without noticing
my fire steel was there,

and it went into the sand
or into the water,

and then the tide came up,

and by the time I noticed,
it was completely gone.

I searched for two hours

for that fire steel,
and it's just not here.

It's just super wet,

and without a fire steel,
what am I going to do?

I just--
I can't believe I lost it.

Argh.

I'm so frustrated with myself
right now.

It's such a stupid thing
to happen.

A friction fire here
is not even in the question.

It--it won't work.

All the wood is soaked.

Damn.

So my options are stay here
and drink water from the river

without purifying or boiling it

and risk getting Giardia
or whatever else

or go home.

That said,
I'm not gonna have any fire

to cook my food either.

I don't know what to do.

This is the worst.

I'd rather go home
because I was missing my family

or anything else
other than this.

This is just stupidity.

I can't believe it.

I don't know what to do.

I don't want to go home.

That's for sure.

♪ ♪

It was a rough start for me.

Losing that fire steel really--

really got to me.

I just--I don't know.

Maybe I'm just exhausted,

but I just lost my will
to be here.

I think I'm done.

I'm sorry to everybody
I let down.

I'm sorry to my wife
and my daughter,

all my friends
and my mom.

I didn't realize what it was
gonna be like here.

It sucks.

I really didn't want to quit,
but it's hard for me.

I think I hear my ride coming.

That's it, guys.

Sorry I couldn't last longer.

I've done such more than this.

This is nothing.

Three days is nothing.

Just--I guess I wasn't ready,
you know?

That's it.

Obviously, if I can't even
keep track of my ,

what am I doing out here?

Getting ready for this thing,

I constantly said,
"I'll be fine as long as I'm not

the first person to tap out,"
and I'll guarantee you I am.

None of those other guys
have tapped out yet.

Today's my
first big shelter day,

so I'm going to really get going
on that primary shelter,

and I'm excited.

It's gonna be a good day.

Okay, buddy.

Time to fall now, eh?

If you talk Canadian to it,
it goes faster.

Hey, buddy.

Time to fall now.

This whole wilderness,
living skills, bushcraft thing,

this is one of my main hobbies
and career paths.

This is pretty awesome,
but in the back of my head,

there's always just missing
my wife and soon-to-be child.

Go get the stick.
Go get the sick.

Oh, man. Oh.

My wife is pregnant.

I made her pregnant.

It's my fault.

The hardest part
is not gonna be able--

not being able
to talk to you.

No one's gonna be
laughing at you out there.

Yeah, no one's gonna be laughing
at me except for--

The bugs aren't gonna
applause for you.

Yeah, they're not gonna--

it's a tough crowd,
I hear.

There's just a lot that I'm
gonna have to do by myself,

but that's okay.

That's the
big mental struggle:

that I should be doing more,
you know,

to provide for my family
and not just for myself.

The fact that
I'm gone for a very significant part

of home life is a big,
big deal.

I've been preparing
myself mentally for this,

but it's always hard.

I've got the shelter
looking--looking okay, I think.

I'm just gonna put up
a quickie roof here.

It's going to be kind
of a A-frame style.

It should shed the rain
pretty well.

You can just tell we've got
a huge front coming in,

so now is the time to prepare.

I think my
biggest challenge will be mental,

but the animals,

mountain lion, wolves,
bears, cougar,

I've always been, you know,
a little deterred about animals.

I've never had any problems
with them,

but that's going to be
on my mind.

Look what I just seen washed up
right out in front of my camp.

What would you do with it?

I'm not starving right now,
and I have no idea how it died,

so I'm going to take it
by the feet, look at it.

I don't see any blood anywhere.

Well...

birds can have parasites
and disease.

I am not taking a chance
of eating it.

That's for sure.

Oh, look at that.

It's a jellyfish.

So I am whipping this
over there behind those rocks,

because I don't want something
coming along

and thinking it's a meal

and right out in front
of my campsite.

Actually, since I've had him
out of the water,

it is actually starting to stink
a little bit.

I like being able to look
across there and not see bears.

Yeah.

That has me
a little bit nervous.

I've got to--
I've got to admit.

I'm building a cabin.

I want to put the time into,
like,

making a really good structure,
because I know that out here,

it's gonna get cold.

Well, it's nearing the end
of the day,

and I had this premonition...

To check the clay source
in the creek

to see how well it fires.

Now, the reason
I was building a cabin was,

because on the inside
I can make a fireplace,

and with enough clay, I could
fill in between the stones,

and also
make the wall fireproof.

You could add, like,
a thick layer of clay,

and it would never
fire the logs,

and I just did some
preliminary testing on the clay.

I made a few, basically,
like, shapes,

and tossed them in the fire,
and it--

and it looks like it's inferior.

It's just not going to work,

which basically means
my cabin idea

is not going to work.

All these logs behind me
and all that work...

I'm feeling pretty crushed
right now.

Man, I worked so hard today.

I need a hug.

My mother was really concerned
that coming out here

I'd get crazy,

and I reassured her that that
had already long since happened.

I'm just so
discouraged right now,

because I can't find a place
to put up shelter.

Right now,
it's not raining,

but I believe it's supposed
to rain for, like,

the next five days,

and this here was the time
that would have gave me

the opportunity to get a shelter
built--these last two days,

and I haven't find found a place
to even build a shelter yet.

This is probably the crappiest
shelter I've ever put up.

It's just because
I don't have time.

I could not find two trees
that there wasn't, you know,

a bunch of stuff in the way.

It just...

You can see here.

Here's the water.

Here's my camp.

I'm about 2 feet up
above that water line.

I'm kind of hoping it stops.

So I'll try to figure out
something here.

The trees are huge.

Bushes, bushes,

great big,
giant trees everywhere.

I don't even know where I would
drop a tree in here.

I mean, yeah, look right here.

I can make a shelter
out of that.

Sure I could.

I know how.

But look at the bear path
right here.

Would you sleep on a bear path?

I sure as hell ain't going to.

And every damn thing in here
is bear path.

Yeah.
Look at this, guys.

Bear.

If this didn't have bears
and cougars and, you know,

the highest population
in North America,

it might not bother me as bad.

I don't know.

I could start constructing
something right here.

Out here, you know,
there's still bushes and stuff.

If anything came around,
I would hear...

I guess.

Yep,
this ought to be fun.

I'm out of my element.

There's no flat ground.

It's all 6 inches of gooey moss.

It will keep me dry,
keep me warm,

won't keep me safe,

but I don't think
really much will out here.

I'll hear something scratching
at the canvas or something

if something does come along.

I got a lot of brush here.

I like that.

You'll hear them coming
through the brush,

and if it's a bear,

I'm kind of hoping
I just have to say, "Hey, bear."

And he'll hear me

and hear a human voice
and go away.

That's what I'm hoping.

I'm running out of daylight.

There is the sun, and it's about
to go behind that mountain.

I have...

less than a hand,

so that means
in less than an hour,

it's gonna be dark here.

I don't know; that sun probably
ruined that whole thing.

Been climbing around this island
for a little while now.

Never ends.

There's a balsam fir
in front of me,

and it has these blisters.

See the humps?

They have resin in them.

This resin
is a good topical medicine.

I have these little cuts
and scrapes.

That will dry over it
and seal it,

and the wound
won't be exposed anymore.

Spilling your guts on
this camera plays hell with you.

It's volatile.
It brings you down so far.

And quite honestly, I don't
know if I can bring it back up.

I don't know.

You know, I thought maybe it was
because I can't start a fire

in this mush and this moisture,

but I think it might be
something more than that.

I don't know;
maybe it's just, you know,

missing home,
missing my family.

I don't have any interaction
whatsoever,

except for me
and this camera,

and it's freaking me out.

It's, like...

I've never been alone like this.

All right, well, let's shut
this off for a little while.

It's been a
pretty successful day.

Kind of getting into a groove.

Taking it day by day.

I went down this evening and ate
more limpets and more seaweed.

I'm gonna try to vary my diet
a little bit.

I'm going to work
on a cooking camp

somewhere else, I guess,

and then I'll break out the net
and the fishing gear

and maybe even trap some.

Still missing home.

Still thinking about home a lot.

Oh,.

Hey, bear.

Hey, bear.

I'm sitting in here.

I was just charged by a bear.

I said, "Hey, bear."

And it just looked at me.

I said, "Hey, bear," and it just
keeps on coming at me.

He just kept coming.
He just kept coming.

And I just backed away
and backed into the woods.

I'm scared.

I don't know where he is.

He could be into the woods
circling behind me.

I don't know.

I'm just hoping
he hears my voice

and he won't come up here.

I don't know.
He might come up here.

He might.

I don't know.

All I can do is sit and wait.

I hear something out there.

♪ ♪

Oh,.

Hey, bear.

I'm sitting in here.

I was just charged by a bear.
I don't know where he is.

He could be into the woods
circling behind me.

I don't know.

It's a big bear too.

I just sent a distress call,
and I hope it gets to them.

All I can do is sit and wait
until I hear from them.

I'm scared.

My heart's still thumping.

Oh,.

Hello.

I'm still here.

I hear the bear back there
somewhere.

He's out there somewhere.

I don't know where.

I don't know
if he's circling me or not.

I'm done, dude.

I've...

Yes, yes, I'm tapping out.

Come get me.

Are you still there?

I hope they come.

So we've just hit the
logging road out to Holberg,

and we're going to dive
off that down

to go and find Wayne.

Knowing that Wayne's
in immediate danger,

we have to go
and search for him now.

There is no access by boat
or plane.

No one's willing to fly out
at nighttime,

so we took the chance of a road.

Yeah, we have flares, spray,
all that stuff.

Dan's GPS says this
is gonna take over three hours.

Heard him out back there
crunch.

I don't know if he's
circling around,

what he's doing.

I don't know.

I hope they get here quick.

Sorry,
whoever I disappoint.

I'm sorry.

This is the chance
in a lifetime.

It really is,

but when you fear for your life,

I mean,
it's quite a difference.

It's not worth dying over.

I think this is the easy part.

Once we get there,
we have a pretty dense forest

to get through to find him.

To be honest, I don't--
I don't even truly know how

we're even gonna find him
or give him directions to--

to find us.

I only have a tarp
protecting me.

I've got pepper spray
and a flare.

You know, that--
that could do something,

but I'd rather have
a friggin' rifle.

I want out of here.

I don't know.

I'm just keeping on talking
to you,

because it eases my mind
a little bit.

I'm just hoping
he hears my voice

and he won't come up here.

I don't know.
He might come up here.

He might.

I don't know.

All I can do is sit and wait.

All right.

This bit comes back like so.

Gotcha, sweet.

Wayne's location's
pretty inaccessible at the moment

because it's dark.

We can't get to him
by air or sea,

so were gonna have to go in
and hack through the woods

as best we can.

We do have
an approximate location

of where he is
from his GPS tracking device.

Whether we can get to him
or not is a different matter.

It's really pretty rough terrain
out here.

I hope Wayne's okay.

We haven't heard from him
in ages.

We need to get there
as quick as we can,

make sure he's alive.

See, I feel like if we--
it's low tide--if we get-

Wait, this is gonna
take us straight--

if we can walk on this,
we're gonna hit another river,

and it might not be as raging
as the other one.

If we just follow that

Oh, yeah.

-That'd be perfect.
-So maybe do that.

And then we can
head right off that one.

-Yep.
-Straight down.

No update from Wayne
in 35 minutes.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

It's been a very slow,
grinding day,

but persevere.

Just--I'm just maintaining.

Just doing it one day at a time.

Definitely missing some folks,
missing home,

but can't dwell on that.

You've got to stay focused.

I don't know what time it is.

Nights here are long,

and that means
more and more time

sitting here in the dark

with nothing but time
to think about everything,

think about life,
think about my wife

and my family, you know,
my dogs.

Like, you know...

I mean,
$500,000 is a lot of money,

but how much is the time
away from your family worth?

We're on a rescue
mission to go and find Wayne.

Wayne said he was charged
by a big black bear.

He said it got within 20 feet
of his camp,

so he left his fire area
and stayed in his tent.

We haven't heard from him for
ages, so we're a bit concerned.

I think that's our best option
at the moment.

It's clearer.

We've just got to be careful
with our feet.

Wayne!

Wayne!

He's gonna be straight out,

and then we've got to look
to the left.

We're still about a 1/2 mile
from wherever he is.

I see a fire.

There he is.

Yeah.

He's just out
to my 12 o'clock now.

Wayne!

Hello?

Hello?

Here they come.

I was wondering if you were
gonna wait until morning.

How are you doing?

Well, before you guys came,
it's like, "Holy.

I hope they come," because it
sounded like there was something

lking up in the bush
up in there.

That bear is here.

I think he wants his beach back,
and he can have it.

I know I'm letting a lot
of people down,

and it sucks.

It does.
It sucks.

But I know my family
wants me back home too.

I'm not happy to go home,
no.

I feel that I am a survivor

but not when it comes to animals
that can chew me up

and spit me out.

I don't want to be food,
and saying,

"Hey, bear" does not work.

-Let's go.
-Hey, bear.

Hey, bear.

Woo! Woo!

Hey, bear.

Hey, bear.

So it's the middle
of the night.

I just woke up,
and my fire almost went out.

It scared the crap out of me.

I looked over,
and there's nothing but just-

it's just barely embers.

I got up, and I sawed some wood,
put some on,

and it looks like it's going
to be okay,

but what's not okay is,

there is a storm heading--
heading somewhere.

I'm not sure yet where,

but I see the flashes
of light in the sky,

and then I hear the rumbles.

That's not good.

I hope all the other guys
got their shelters up.

I'm shutting this thing off.

Rain's just coming down,

and I'm realizing
that this canvas

is not at all waterproofed
in the slightest.

It's just a sponge
waiting to get rained on,

and that doesn't make
for very good shelter.

This structure's not going
to hold under any real rain,

so I have some choices to make.

It just depends
on how much it rains,

but for now,
it will do... just barely.

Welcome to
the Pacific Northwest.

The rain really
restricts me to staying in camp,

and it seems the more I stay
in camp all day,

like,
the more I'm just, you know,

inside my own head
the whole time.

I have a lot of time out here
to think why I'm here,

what's my goal,

why did I come out here
in the first place?

And I think...

Strangely, I don't have
an answer 100% right now,

you know,
that's really the truth,

that's really, you know,

the core reason why I'm here.

I'll keep you posted on that.

I'll keep you posted.

I'm either tired
or I'm starting to relax,

one or the other.

I just turned 40.

You look back at your life
and think, "Where did it go?"

Just poof.

Here I am 40 years old
next to a log

in British Columbia.

How did it all happen that fast?

You want to be a good father.

You want to be a good husband.

It's, like, when you get alone,
you know, the--

all of it comes up,
every mistake you've ever made.

You sit and analyze it
and analyze yourself.

And you just--it's hard
to strike that balance,

you know,
to live a life that's--

where you feel like you
do justice to everything.

My thoughts fluctuate between
what's got to be done now

and, you know, back--back home.

I just...

I really miss my family.

You--you know,
I'm starting to question myself.

If...

You wonder if the people
in your life really know

how much you love them.

My goal is
to push my own limits.

Ah, this is stupid.

It's just monotonous.

The tide comes in.
The tide goes out.

It's making me absolutely crazy.

It's really easy in
this type of environment

to just become
your own worst enemy.

That was a weird sound.
I didn't like that sound at all.

I hope it wasn't a predator.

I'll just take everything
and run.

I don't even care.

Have you ever seen
anything so delectable in your life?

My biggest problem
is getting fire out here.

I don't think I can close
my eyes again in this place.

Guys, I'm pretty sure
I just saw a cougar

about 10 feet
from my front door.
