All language subtitles for Alone Australia S4 Ep7 - Episode 7.en

Holy shit, it's friggin' snowing.

Well, well, well.
Hasn't the game just changed?

Ha ha!

It's on like Donkey Kong.

Look at this,
the lake has started freezing.

You can't fish, you can't spearfish,
you can't walk out on the ice,

you can't do anything.

That's the stage that's hard.

Almost like the end of an era.

I can feel the old worms
burning in my guts, saying,

"Come on, feed me, feed me!"

It's taken me twice as long
as I thought to build my shelter.

Literally nothing to eat
for three weeks,

so everything I do seems hard work.

It's taken it out of me,
to be honest.

Nothing in the net,
nothing in the net.

I'm so hungry I feel sick.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know
how much longer me body's got.

Is that a fish?

Oh, my God.

Yeah!

Oh, my God, it's real.

I got a fish!

Ahhhh!

We're eating fish tonight.

Yeah!

Whoo!

Yeah!

Alright, let's gut some fish.

# Let's gut some fishies. #

I'm going to eat most of this fish,

except for the guts
and the spiny bit.

I'm going to eat
all his organs too.

I worked my hands
to the bone to build the kayak.

Let's just get rid of what
I don't want to eat.

And today, a lot of our hard efforts
were rewarded with some fish.

Two fishies.

Alright, it's time to cook the fish.

I'm just cooking one,
and I've got the other on ice.

There's a fishy in there.

Oh, yeah.

Going to cook it over some hot coals
that we've prepared earlier.

This is important for me.

I didn't catch fish
for almost a month.

You definitely feel a lot better.

You feel like you can do it.

You feel like you can go the distance
when you've caught a fish.

Now I feel like I'm ready
for this next phase of our journey.

Oh, I'm so keen for this.

Oh, yes.

Oh, fresh fish.

Perch.

I want to show you my photo.

It makes sense
why I'm waiting until now.

This is my photo.

It is my wife and my son.

It was just a little shot that I just
snapped on my phone really quick,

and I didn't really understand how
important this photo would be to me.

Because now I get to share a meal
with my family out here.

And I wanted to wait
until I caught a fish to do it.

It just took me almost a month.

So now I can share a meal
with my family.

Oh.

Oh, that is good.

Oh, guys.

Oh, that is so good.

Cheers.

Finally did it, guys.
We finally caught a fish.

Two fish.

Hopefully the first of many.

I think I'm going all right.

I need to keep
trying to get those fish.

I'm surviving, guys.

Opens.

Closes.

Opens.

Closes.

Bloody ripper, mate.

She's looking pretty smart, isn't it?

Just going to bring some moss up,
and we'll chink up this door.

Daylight is fading fast.

But it is still a beautiful day.

Guess what?

I went down to get some water before.

And washed up on the beach
was a handful of fish guts.

Fish guts and a little bit of roe.

I am going to cook it and eat it.

My mouth is watering
as I think about it.

I haven't had any protein
for a month.

So watch this space.

Let's have a look at our moss pile.

I've spent a lot of time
mucking around with my shelter.

To the expense
of not getting enough food, really.

We're well behind in that area.

Get that lot up to camp.

If I don't get my arse into gear,
I'm not going to last much longer.

My moss is actually freezing
as I'm using it.

That's a bit grim.

Chinking up will be the last thing
we'll do.

We've just got to sort our food.

In the next couple of weeks
will tell a story.

How the old fella
handles it or falls apart.

We're getting there.

Who knows?

It would be bloody awesome
to get to the end and win.

But we've all got that mindset.

There we go.

I'm happy with that.

Let's get inside and get warmed up.

We have a treat.

I promised to show you
what I found on the lake edge.

Some roe and some other bits of guts.

Let's have a look.

A bit of milt and some other guts.

Mm-mm.

A tube of some sort.

A bit of poo in that.

I'll just squeeze
that shit out of there.

I don't know if I'll eat it, but
the rest of it looks quite edible.

So, I'm thinking I might just put
a little bit of water in this pan.

And just cook it up for a bit.

Well, there it is.

It doesn't look like much.

Can't tell if I've ever
eaten fish guts.

Your roe? Yes, I've eaten roe,
but not fish guts.

Let's just bloody get some in us, eh?

It's going to be good.

A little taste of protein.

It's probably only about
two tablespoons' worth of food,

but it's more than I was
going to have anyway,

apart from a few berries
I had earlier on.

The guts are a little bit rubbery.

There's a bit of grit in there.

Who knows what that is?

Mm.

Nothing wrong with that.

Wow.

The temperature has dropped a heap.

And I was just laying here,
just thinking,

and I touched the side of my tarp,
and it was, like, frozen.

Have a look at this.

So this is the inside of my shelter.

That's going to melt.

So where does that go?

Does it drip?

Does it drip all over my bed?

Does it drip all over my clothes?

Because if it does that,
I'm in all sorts.

Because I can't have anything wet,
especially my bed.

So I'm going to have to spend a few
minutes just trying to wipe it over.

It's, like, half frozen.

Hopefully it doesn't
all just fall down on my bed.

Is that a big bit of ice?

That bloody fell on my sleeping bag.

Condensation,
this could be a big problem.

I'm just going to keep an eye on it
now.

To wake up to that frost on the
inside of the tarp is pretty crazy.

But other than that,
I'm feeling good.

Oh.

This morning, I didn't just
do one poo, I did two poos.

Imagine getting taken out of here
because you can't poo.

Oh, that's a relief.

Plan today -
we're going to go get some berries.

It's gone a bit scarce on the fish
side, which has got me worried a

little bit,
because we're into the jerky now.

So berries, they're a must.

It's something
I just need to get before it's gone.

I think we'll go up here first,

and then if not, probably
down a bit closer to the water.

Blueberries are actually
so much easier to pick.

You know, they're frozen.

If I can get eight kilos of berries,
that'll outlast the jerky by far.

I've seen people win Alone before
without having any protein,

without catching any fish,

so the more berries I can pick,
the better.

These berries could be
the bloody difference in the end.

Look at that.

I think I've got
three-and-a-half pots.

I just need them not to melt.

If they melt, I'm stuck, because
they'll all go mushy, they'll all

join together and be one big block,
and just be one big mess.

That's full now.

I don't want that to thaw out.

That's one thing I don't want.

Hopefully I can sort it out today.

This is my plan.

Dig a hole in the sand,
fill it up with ice,

put the berries in,
put ice over the top.

Try and use it like an esky.

Oh, it's going to be cold.

Got to try something.

All the berries will fit in there.

All right.

Some ice we can put on it.

Hopefully it'll stay as cold.

Surviving out here,

it's going to get harder and harder.

Something like that.

I just want to stay here
as long as I can.

Need a bit more ice.

That ice is thick.

Probably got 25 days of jerky.

That jerky could spoil, you know.

Anything could happen.

Put my berries in.

These berries are very important.

But preserving them is the key.

Will they last?

That's what I've got to do
if I want to stay in this.

I feel like that's boring,
but I feel like they're OK.

We'll go as long as we possibly can

until we're out of food
and we're too skinny.

What do you reckon?

That, my friends, is a Finland esky.

Hopefully
everything under it stays frozen.

Hopefully.

Right,
is everybody ready for the unveiling?

Ta-da!

Pull out the big guns.

Alone Australia, Season 4.

Arctic... wear.

Like it?

So...

Like my hat?

Yeah, this is bad, lad.

This weather is savagely cold.

So I've got a possum fur hat.

And beaver skin gloves
that are lined with possum fur.

See that?

These are the warmest gloves
on earth.

They really are mittens,
I should say.

I'm not sure what day it is.

Day 28, day 29?

I can't remember.

Right.

The beard is having a trim.

Cos I'm sick of it.

I can't wait to shave this beard off.

I hate it.

My missus hates it.

Kids love it. They just play with it.

It begins.

Ta-da.

I wonder what the kids are doing.

I wonder how Lily and Eddie's
doing at school.

Perfect kids.

Eddie's full of mischief.

Lily's just a good little girl,

really good at school, really smart,

full of love.

God, you miss them.

But it's not going
to be enough to make me tap.

I work hard.

I work in the mines.

I work 84 hours a week.

But money would give us
a lot of breathing space.

I am here to win this money,
and I'm going to win it.

Ah! I've stabbed myself.

But I need food in me, man.

I'm so hungry, it's unbelievable.

It's amazing how starvation
affects you, you know?

Just the energy levels are just zero.

Right.

We're hollow here, see it?

There's a hollow in my face.

Fuck. Not good.

I must catch something today.

Let's head down to the lake
and see what's going on.

I'll head out in the kayak.

See if we can catch some fish again.

The edge of the lake is freezing,
look at this.

Wow.

Look at that.

That's crazy.

Just a few more days like this,
and that kayak is no more.

Look at me kayak.

The whole thing is ice.

Oh, it's stuck to the floor.

Oh, I'm going dizzy.

Oh, God, I'm going dizzy.

Oh, my God, oh, Jesus.

Sorry, I had to sit down there,
I just went totally dizzy.

My brain is in need of food.

Going dizzy is no good for anyone.

It's just hard work
when you don't catch anything.

I just can't give in.

I just won't give in.

Right.

Ah.

Wish me luck.

I fucking need it.

Fishing without a beard.

I'm hoping.

It's a lot of work.

What the fuck
is wrong with me doing this?

Honestly.

Could be sitting at home
with the missus and the kids.

Eating a nice bacon sandwich
cooked by the missus.

Ah.

Fucking Arctic -
starving and trying to survive.

What a tit.

Oh, good cast.

Where are these big brown trout?

Where are these perch?

Where are these char?

They're unbelievable,
the fish in this lake.

Going dizzy again.

Jesus Christ, this is the last thing
I need in a kayak.

Oh, I'm going dizzy, oh, my God.
(WHIMPERS)

Ooh!

Jesus Christ.

Nearly 200 metres offshore.

The last thing
you want to do is fall in.

Oh, man, this is not good.

Going dizzy again.

Jesus Christ, this is the last
thing I need in a kayak.

Oh, I'm going dizzy, oh, my God.
(WHIMPERS)

Ooh!

Jesus Christ.

Nearly 200 metres offshore.

The last thing
you want to do is fall in.

Right.

I'm OK, don't panic.

Oh, I'm dizzy there.

Not good, not good, Dougy, not good.

Got to get back in.

I'd fucking never get back in
otherwise.

This is honestly really hard
to paddle in now.

Just got no muscle left.

You try going to work
with no breakfast, no lunch,

and then have no dinner
for two weeks.

Oh, my God.

We are home.

I can see why people tap out
when they're as hungry as this.

Wowee.

We've had a bit of bloody snow.

Wow.

Even on top of my billy.

This is what's to come.

How thick's it going to get?

Shit.

This is bloody magic, man.

Have a look at this.

Now I'm starting to feel like
we're in the Arctic Circle.

I'm actually starting to think,

I don't know how I'm going to go

without a fire in my shelter,

but we'll see.

What the...

Aha!

It's snowing.

Oh, yeah!

A crunch of fresh powder
under my feet.

I can't say I really like it much.

Never really did like snow
on the farm much.

Just a frigging nuisance, really.

If you get a good dump, of course,
you've got no feed.

That's when animals
rely on their body fat.

If they don't have body fat,
you get losses.

Simple as that.

I've never made a snowball.

Isn't that cool?

I could make a snowman today
if I wanted to.

If only there was someone
to throw it at, eh?

Throws very well.

All the land's just covered in snow

and the berries
aren't accessible anymore.

I feel very lucky to have berries
and mushrooms picked.

All right,
last job before I'm in the shelter.

I'm just going to get some kindling.

I'm definitely
running out of steam for big jobs.

Lack of protein and fat, I guess.

So, the amount of tiredness
I'm getting now,

especially in the mornings,

I'm going to switch up
my strategies a little bit.

I'm just going to chill
as much as possible now, hey?

I don't think the energy payoff
for fishing with my rod is worth it.

I've got set lines out with the best
bait that I've got on them.

I'm kind of going to coast, get a bit
creative, have a bit of fun.

Messing around in my shelter.

It's slippery now.

I want to make heaps of presents
for folks back home.

I really like making stuff.

It's good for my mind as well.

I'm going to make some chopsticks.

It's that kind of house
where you can whittle in it

without that being a problem.

It just adds to the insulation
of the flooring.

I'm happy with my strategy so far
of forgetting how many days it is.

I just want to go
until I can't go anymore.

I think that's the best way for me.

To be honest,
the isolation hasn't got to me.

I think
I'm pretty comfortable with myself.

But I'm starting to feel like

it would be nice to have a visitor
out here.

At times I've been missing people
to share what I've been doing with.

Smokey!

Maybe if I go like this it will help.

Probably not much.

I might just quickly
whip out 15 pairs of chopsticks.

I'd really like to have a present
for a lot of different people.

Being out here you have so much
time to reflect and clarify

what's important in your life.

I'm not a guy
that makes friends super easily.

I'm definitely a bit socially awkward
as well at times.

I've always found parties and that
tricky to find my stride.

Compared to most people I meet, they
seem to get it a lot easier than me.

Alright.

Yeah, so, I've been thinking about
how I want to live long term.

I really like my bus but I think
I want to live in a share house.

Find cool like-minded people.

Have a big communal kitchen.

Share meals and all that.

Yeah.
I'd like to live with people more.

Be a bit more social.

I think it would be good for me.
I home it up too much.

So I think that's a change that
you might see out of me from this.

Look at that fan of choppies.

Quite the collection, isn't it?

Good stuff.

Lots of snow.

It was snowing this morning
and it's raining now.

I'm going to go and check the net.

Nice and steady.

Been in a good mood today.

I've caught two fish.

One I ate yesterday
and one I've still got frozen.

Hopefully it's not another month
until my next fish.

The rain's picking up.

I need to do this, guys.

The more fish I can get, the better
my chances of achieving my goal.

We need that prize money

to try for another bub.

Doing my best.

I'm doing my absolute best.

You'll hear me back in Australia
if there's a fish in this net.

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Another fish.

Oh, yeah!

Hello, little fish.

Every fish I catch...

..is one step closer...

..to Gemma and I...

..having another child.

Sorry, mate, your time to go.

Oh, this is beautiful, guys.

It's another perch.

This is incredible.

Thank you.

Thank you, lake. Thank you, land.

Thank everyone. I thank my ancestors.

Oh, and the spirits of this place
that have been guiding me.

Everything I've been doing
has led to moments like this.

I can win this thing.

Yeah!

Mmm.

Beautiful.

Nice warm fire.

Hot brew of tea.

Does life get any better?

Well, shit yeah.

(LAUGHS)

Well, it's a bleak sort of a morning.

Bit of rain in the night

which has actually washed out
a little bit of snow.

I need some food in me.

Let's have a look at this bloody net.

I've had a net in the water
nearly three weeks, different spots.

Not a sign of a fish.

The gnawing hunger that's on
your mind all the time now.

Nothing else - gnawing hunger.

Alright.

Same order, same order I assume.

What does that look like?

Look a little bit like a fish.

There ain't nothing in it.

Not a tiki bear.

We all expected that result from me.

That's what it's been like
for the last friggin' weeks.

Bastard.

Bloody tough.

What do you do?

When's the point when you say,

"Stuff this, it's useless.
Waste of time"?

Feel like just chucking it all
in the fire, so stuff it.

I'm not one for emotion normally.

But I have...beginning to have
a certain amount of self-doubt.

Maybe that's predictable
given the circumstances.

You know, it's...

But it comes to a point...

..you just feel like giving up.

You just feel like
maybe it's beyond your reach.

No, don't start
playing the bloody violins.

I'm not tapping out right now.

No, you're not getting that yet.

So settle down.

(LAUGHS)

No, I don't know.

Maybe it's one of those days.

One of those gloomy, horrible,
rainy, cold, drizzling days

that just puts you down a bit.

Yeah.

What do you do about it?

I know I've got it in me
to go quite a bit longer yet.

I just need to tweak
that mindset a bit.

We're not going to give up.

I think we need to go
and pull that net.

That's top priority.

It's not working.

Let's get it out of the water.

Hang it up in the tree,
have a good look at it.

See if there's a way
of halving the mesh size.

Might as well have a crack at it.

Got nothing else to lose.

I think the predominant fish here is
probably whitefish, which are small.

My mesh size
is probably a little big.

They may actually be going
right through it.

Where is that bait?

The pole gets heavier
and heavier every time.

I keep putting off doing the net,

because it's tedious,

but it's critical.

Critical part of the plan.

We've got to get some tucker
in the system, eh?

It's going to be our best chance,
I think.

I'm not quite sure
what we're going to do now.

We need to hang it up so we can...

(HOWLING)

..get at the net.

I just thought I heard a wolf howl.

That would be cool.

I don't mind wolves.

(HOWLING)

Definitely.

Definitely wolves
howling across the lake.

That wolf howling noise
is just primeval.

It just sends shivers up your spine.

It's awesome. Absolutely awesome.

(WOLF HOWLING)

Anyway, where were we?

We've got to get this net
in the water.

It's not going to catch any bloody
fish sitting up here in the trees,

is it?

I'm just going to head down the lake,
grab some water.

I've got literally
nothing to eat today.

Nothing, nothing.

Not one belly.

Oh.

There's something weird
on the water over there.

Let me see what it is.

Oh, it's ice.

Oh, my God.

What the...

Look at this.

Where the hell did that come from?

You are absolutely kidding me.

Wow.

Oh, my God.

Fuck.

Jesus.

Yeah, it's icy.
You need to watch that.

I can't believe how
quick this has come in.

Where's it come from?

Well, I'm not punching
through that in the kayak.

That is crazy.

That's the kayak officially retired.

I would like to say that it's
done really well on the fishing.

It didn't.

I didn't catch a single thing in it.

Come on, then.

Let's get you retired.

(GRUNTS)

Oh, it's a sad moment, this.

There you go.

This place, honestly,
I'm at my wit's end.

I really am.

I've got nothing to eat.

I've got no firewood left either.

I need to go and cut something.

Oh, my God.

I'm not looking forward to that.

Oh, my God.

I've walked about 20 yards
from my shelter

and I'm out of breath already.

I've been having massive dizzy spells
trying to cut wood.

Oh, my God.

I can't breathe.

I can't breathe when I do it.

Oh.

Oh, I've just gone dizzy
standing up, fucking...

Oh, my God.

I've just gone dead dizzy.

It's like a proper, like,
lighthead spin, losing your balance.

And I was just getting, like,
white flashes when I shut my eyes.

Wah, wah, wah.

Just, like, flashes.

Fuck, this is not good.

Right, let's get this wood back.

I don't think I've endured anything

as hard as this on the mind,
body and soul.

I've always said I'll never tap out.

But...

my reasoning behind that is...

..that's failure for me.

You've failed.

You know, if you're going to do
something,

you need to see it through
to the end.

And that's starting to...

..become, like,
a childish way of thinking.

My body is starting to tell me
it's about time you went home.

I've had a bit of rain.

All the snow's melting.

So I've had a bit of a...

I don't know.

A long night.

Got a fair bit of condensation here.

I mean, like, a lot of condensation.

On the top of my shelter.

Got a few drips on me during
the night, which is a bloody worry,

because if all my stuff gets wet,

I've really got no way
of drying it out, so...

You know,
I'll just light a fire in here.

Try and dry it all out.

There's not much else I can do.

There'll just be a little fire here.

The smoke goes up.

It has to go out.

It's important that it can get air

or it's just going to smoke
the whole place out.

Man, this is crazy.

Cut a hole in your tarp.

How big does this have to be?
I don't know.

Hopefully the smoke
goes up and out the hole.

Let's do it.

See what happens here.

'Cause I need to dry
this shelter out.

It's wet.

It's very wet.

There is a lot of stuff
to do out here

to prepare for,
you know, what's coming.

See that?

This is where my fire's going to be.

This is going to be temperatures that
I've never even dreamt of being in,

and I'm literally sleeping under
a tarp with a little bit of pine

over the top of it.

If this fire works,
it's a game changer for me.

I'll be here for 100 days.

We'll light it
and we'll see what happens.

Will it go up and out the hole?

I hope so.

There's a light.

It's going everywhere though.

Yeah, she's going everywhere.

(COUGHS)

The chimney's not sucking it out.

I wonder if I close the door,
if that'll make a difference.

I mean,
that fire's like nearly too big now.

Yeah, I've just got to watch
that all this doesn't catch on fire.

(COUGHING)

Shit.

Too big.

My shelter is just full of smoke.

(COUGHING)

Looks like my shelter's on fire.

Ahhh!

Jesus! (COUGHING)

Shit.

(COUGHING)

My shelter is just full of smoke.

(COUGHING)

The chimney's not sucking it out.

Looks like my shelter's on fire.

Ahhh!

Jesus!

(COUGHING)

Man, it's killing my eyes.

Look,
there's a lot of smoke coming out.

It's also coming out the door.

Have a look in there.

It is just a smoke pit.

Maybe I'll cut the hole
a little bit bigger.

Is that better?

I've cut a bigger hole.

Man, it's like nearly too big.

Oh, wow.
I can't believe how bad it is.

How's there so much smoke
can't go out that hole?

I don't know why.

Why?

(COUGHING)

Too smoky to sit in here.

Far out.

(COUGHING)

It's not working.

Let's get out of here.

Look at the hole I now have
on the side of my shelter.

That could literally end me.

Cut it a lot bigger

than what I planned to

just trying to get it to work.

Far out, man. What am I gonna do?

I have failed
at the fire inside my shelter.

Yeah, I don't...

I don't know.

This is a big thing.

It could cost me 250 grand.

I'm going to have a cup of chaga
and that will be my breakfast.

I'm just sawing away.

My little saw on my Leatherman.

A little bit more chaga.

And I've just dropped the whole thing
and spilled it.

Look at that.

All gone.

32 days in
and my body is utterly destroyed.

It's the only way to describe it.

I've got no fat left.

I've got no energy.

I don't even know
if I can cut wood anymore.

This dizziness is a killer.

It's scaring the life out of me.

I need to get fishing.
I need to get fishing.

So I'm just going to head down
to the shore in the rain

and just see if I can catch a fish.

Here they come for the med check.
Oh, no.

What do you do?

Do you tell them the truth?

Do you say when I cut wood
I can't breathe for half an hour?

I get massive dizzy spells
with big white flashes

and big massive ringing in my ears
and static and...

They're gonna pull you out.

And I don't want to be pulled out.

I want to win.

Hello, Dougy.

Are you ready for your med check?

Yeah.

Ready as I'll ever be.

You take a seat.

Okay.

First I would like to ask you
if you have any health concerns.

Erm...

Yeah.
That's a good question, isn't it?

- Hmm?
- Erm...

It is too dangerous
to be out here for long.

This is survival.

If I can't get fish,
I'm out of here.

Yes!

Yeah! Thank you!

I am thinking about winning.

One more fish closer.

It's well after dark now.

See if there's anything
lurking in the shallows.

That's the first fish I've ever seen.

Today is freezing.

So, gonna have another crack
at a fire in my shelter.

If there's one thing that can
eliminate me from this adventure,

it's being cold.

Fingers crossed this works.

There is literally smoke
coming out the back of my shelter.

Ahhh!

I stood up
and got a wave of dizziness.

I just feel like
I'm at the end of the rope now.

I really need some fish, hey?

Holy shit!
