THE PAIN IS SO OVERWHELMING.

I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH.

DON'T KNOW HOW LONG I CAN BEAR THIS.

I'VE NEVER FELT MY BODY DO WHAT IT'S DOING RIGHT NOW,

AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S KIND OF GIVING UP ON ME.

I HATE TO FEEL LIKE I'M BURDENING SOMEBODY,

AND THAT'S WHAT I FEEL LIKE WITH LACEY.

Lacey: SEE THOSE BIG CAT PRINTS? COMPARED TO MY HAND.

THAT IS A BIG FREAKING CAT PRINT.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING BIG IS WALKING BEHIND ME.

JASON?

Narrator: ONE MAN...

-Narrator: ...AND ONE WOMAN... -I'M NOT LEAVING!

Narrator: ...ALONE FOR 21 DAYS...

Woman: WHAT IS THAT?

...WITH NO FOOD...

OH, GOD, I'M FREEZING.

...NO CLOTHES...

...NO WATER.

GOD. MOVE! MOVE!

DO THEY HAVE THE SKILLS AND THE WILL...

-IT HURTS.

Narrator: ...TO OVERCOME THE MOST PRIMAL SURVIVAL

CHALLENGE OF THEIR LIVES?

AAH! AAH!

Woman: I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ALL THE THINGS

THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL ME.

Narrator: SOUTH CENTRAL BELIZE, THE DAY BEFORE INSERTION.

THE SURVIVALISTS ARE ON THEIR WAY

TO THE MOST DEMANDING ADVENTURE OF THEIR LIVES.

I'M ALREADY LOOKING FOR WILD ANIMALS.

LAST STEP OF THE JOURNEY, THANK GOODNESS.

AND I'M READY FOR THIS.

IT JUST GOT REAL.

Narrator: BUT WITHIN HOURS OF ARRIVING IN BELIZE,

THE CHALLENGE COULD BE OVER BEFORE IT EVEN BEGINS.

Narrator: A DEVASTATING HURRICANE THREATENS

TO DESTROY EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH.

Man: ALL RESIDENTS IN SOUTH CENTRAL BELIZE

ARE ADVISED TO STAY INDOORS

AND SEEK COVER WHEREVER POSSIBLE.

I MEAN, IT'S JUST CRAZINESS RIGHT NOW, REALLY,

'CAUSE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, WE'RE GONNA HAVE UP

TO 70-MILE-AN-HOUR WINDS.

I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE TO A HURRICANE BEFORE.

IT'S... IT'S SCARY.

IT'S GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER.

Jason: WE GOT HAMMERED BY A HURRICANE LAST NIGHT.

THERE'S WATER EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S TREES AND LIMBS

AND STUFF THAT FELL ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AND, OF COURSE, NOW IT'S SUPER HUMID,

SO IT'S GONNA CONSTANTLY TEST US WITH THE CLIMATE HERE.

I'M JASON. I'M 44 YEARS OLD.

I'M FROM PALO CEDRO, CALIFORNIA,

AND I'M A RETIRED SHASTA COUNTY SHERIFF SERGEANT.

I HAD A LAW-ENFORCEMENT CAREER FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS.

I DID UNDERCOVER NARCOTICS. I WAS ON THE S.W.A.T. TEAM.

IF IT WAS DANGEROUS, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

PEOPLE SEE ME AND THEY'RE LIKE,

"OH, HERE COMES THE MUSCLE HEAD THAT'S GOT NO BRAINS."

THERE'S A LOT MORE DEPTH TO ME

THAN THIS BIG GYM RAT, ROCK-HEAD GUY.

I'VE TRAPPED AND HUNTED ALL MY LIFE,

SO MY SKILL LEVEL THERE IS GONNA BE PRETTY HIGH.

MY SHELTER-BUILDING IS TOP-NOTCH.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE PHYSICAL PART.

BUT MENTALLY, I'M GONNA BE TESTED ON THIS CHALLENGE

MORE THAN I'VE EVER BEEN TESTED WITH HIGH-STRESS SITUATIONS

THAT I HAD WHEN I WAS ON THE S.W.A.T. TEAM.

AND I WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT I STILL GOT IT.

21 DAYS NAKED?

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

Lacey: I'M SUPER EXCITED. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S SCARY.

IT'S WET. IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME.

I'M LACEY. I LIVE IN DU QUOIN, ILLINOIS.

MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A GUN STORE --

GUNSMITHING, BUY, SELL, TRADE.

AND WE BOTH HAVE A PASSION FOR SAFETY

AND TEACHING OTHERS SAFETY.

I GREW UP ON AN ISLAND IN LIBERTY, MAINE.

YOU KNOW, NO RUNNING WATER OR ELECTRICITY.

MY FATHER TAUGHT US EVERYTHING ABOUT HUNTING,

TRAPPING, FISHING,

WHILE MY MOTHER WAS MORE OF AN HERBALIST

AND DEALT WITH PLANTS AND TAUGHT US ALL THAT STUFF.

I HAVE CHILDREN AT HOME.

IT'S DELICIOUS!

OH, MY GOSH. IT'S TOOTSIE ROLL.

SO GOOD.

I LOVE MY CHILDREN. I WILL MISS THEM DEARLY.

BUT MY LIFE KIND OF GOT STAGNANT AS A MOM,

AND I NEED MORE IN MY LIFE.

I NEED ADVENTURE. I WAS A VERY WILD CHILD.

IT REALLY WAS MY LIFE.

AND I JUST WANT TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT I'M STILL THERE.

TIME TO GET NAKED.

THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION

ABOUT ME IS THAT I'M PETITE

AND I'M GENTLE AND I'M KIND,

AND THAT I'LL BE SWEET.

BUT ALL I NEED TO SURVIVE OUT HERE

IS A BIG, STRONG, DUMB MAN.

WELL, BELIZE, YOU SAW HURRICANE EARL.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR HURRICANE JASON.

AND I'M A CATEGORY 4.

OH. YEP.

THORN. MY FIRST THORN.

YEP. WORKING THROUGH IT.

I AM ON MY WAY TO SEE MY PARTNER,

AND I AM EXCITED.

YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE ALL THE TREES

AND EVERYTHING THAT'S FELL DOWN IN THIS THING.

WHEN I THINK ABOUT A PARTNER,

I WANT A SOLID FEMALE THAT'S OPEN-MINDED,

THAT WILL TAKE MY IDEAS AND WE WORK TOGETHER,

AND WE JUST KICK ASS IN THIS CHALLENGE.

OH, HEY. YOU MUST BE MY PARTNER.

HEY. HOW ARE YOU? I'M JASON.

-I'M LACEY. -NICE TO MEET YOU.

-IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU. -PLEASURE.

YES.

GONNA KICK SOME BELIZE BUTT, HUH?

YEAH.

Narrator: JASON AND LACEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A FIRE STARTER.

SHE'S ALSO BROUGHT A MACHETE, AND HE HAS MOSQUITO NETTING.

I FIGURE IT'LL BE GREAT. BUGS, ONE.

TWO, FISHING.

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

WE WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT THAT. ALL RIGHT.

-YES, WE WOULD. -WE HAVE OUR MAP.

OKAY.

SO, WE'LL JUST WORK OUR WAY UP AND THEN COME BACK DOWN?

IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE FISHING UP THERE.

AND FRUIT TREES ACROSS THE RIVER.

-SNAKES. -AND, I'M SURE, SNAKES.

-YEAH. SNAKES ARE GOOD EATING. -ABSOLUTELY.

Narrator: LACEY AND JASON HAVE BEEN INSERTED

INTO THE REMOTE BLADEN RIVER BASIN

OF SOUTHERN BELIZE,

LOCATED ALONG THE CARIBBEAN'S HURRICANE ALLEY.

KIND OF MAKES IT A LITTLE EERIE WHEN YOU THINK

ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER ONE

HITTING WHILE WE'RE OUT HERE.

THE POWERFUL STORM HAS LEFT THE ENVIRONMENT IN CHAOS.

RIVERS OVERFLOW WITH TONS OF DEBRIS.

MANY ANIMALS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN FROM THE AREA,

WHICH WILL MAKE PROCURING FOOD DIFFICULT

FOR LACEY AND JASON.

THE MOST FEARSOME PREDATORS

THAT REMAIN ARE FIGHTING TO SURVIVE

AND WILL BE MORE UNPREDICTABLE THAN EVER,

INCLUDING THE JAGUAR AND PUMA AND THE DEADLY,

SIX-FOOT-LONG FER-DE-LANCE, WHOSE BITE IS SO POTENT,

A SINGLE STRIKE CONTAINS ENOUGH VENOM

TO KILL 32 HUMANS.

-SO, SHELTER, NUMBER ONE? -YEAH. YEAH.

YEAH, WE CAN JUST -- WHEREVER, YOU KNOW,

WE LAND, WE CAN JUST KIND OF LOOK

AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN MATERIALS AND DO IT.

OKAY. HOLY...

HOLY CRAP. LOOKIT, THERE'S A --

-...CRAP. -IT'S A FER-DE-LANCE.

-DO YOU SEE ITS HEAD? -I CAN'T SEE ITS HEAD.

GO AROUND THAT WAY AND SEE IF YOU CAN SEE ITS HEAD.

OH-HO-HO-HO-HO!

OH! OH, MY GOD.

WATCH IT GETS IN THE WATER. THOSE THINGS CAN SWIM.

UM, YEAH, HE'S ABOUT TO.

-YEAH. -SO, UH...

WELL, WE'RE AT AN IMPASSE.

WE CAN PIN HIS HEAD DOWN.

WAIT. WE WON'T GET FIRE FOR THE FIRST TWO DAYS.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COOK HIM.

-YEAH, LET'S JUST LEAVE HIM. -OKAY.

IT'S NOT WORTH THE RISK RIGHT NOW.

WE GOT TO GET AROUND AND GET TO CAMP

AND GET SHELTER BUILT. SHELTER.

Lacey: THIS HURRICANE HAS OBVIOUSLY

DISPLACED A LOT OF ANIMALS.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE REALLY, REALLY CAREFUL.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.

WE NEED TO DO A RISK ASSESSMENT

AND MAKE SURE THAT THE REWARD IS BETTER THAN THE RISK,

OTHERWISE ONE OF US IS NOT GONNA MAKE IT.

OH, I KNOW.

Lacey: OH, *BLEEP* REALLY? HONESTLY, I THINK

THERE'S GREAT RESOURCES OVER ON THE OTHER SIDE.

HOW THE HELL ARE WE GONNA GET INTO HERE?

I'M JUMPING.

THERE'S NO WAY.

GROWING UP IN MAINE, EVER SINCE I WAS 3 YEARS OLD,

I'VE BEEN OUTSIDE.

I AM PART OF THE WOODS. I REALLY AM.

I'M BRINGING OUT MY INNER MONKEY.

HOLY CRAP.

OW! THORNY BRANCH.

LACEY IS JUST LIKE A STICK OF TNT.

COULD'VE BEEN THE END OF THIS WHOLE THING

IF SHE WOULD'VE MISSED THAT SNAG.

SO, PRETTY RISKY.

DON'T DO STUFF LIKE THAT WITHOUT WARNING ME FIRST.

MY PARTNER IS GREAT. HE'S BIG AND HE'S STRONG.

BUT HE IS MAYBE OVERPROTECTIVE.

LOOK AT THAT THING. THAT'D GET YOU, THAT'D HURT.

MORE DEBRIS FROM THE HURRICANE.

Jason: UGH. SO, I MEAN,

THIS LOOKS PRETTY DARN GOOD RIGHT HERE.

I MEAN, FOR WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

AND IT'S GETTING LATE, SO WE GOT TO GET GO-GO-GOING.

ALL RIGHT. TIMBER.

WHOO!

Narrator: DURING THE NEXT 21 DAYS,

JASON AND LACEY WILL BE TESTED IN THEIR ABILITY

TO ADAPT TO AN ENVIRONMENT

THAT HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

BY LAST NIGHT'S CATASTROPHIC STORM.

BASED ON THEIR UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL SURVIVAL SKILLS,

THEY'VE EACH BEEN GIVEN A PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING.

AS A FORMER TACTICAL TEAM LEADER,

JASON IS WELL-EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH STRESSFUL SITUATIONS

AND ALWAYS TAKES THE MOST PRAGMATIC APPROACH

IN HIGH-RISK SCENARIOS.

JASON HAS BEEN GIVEN AN INITIAL PSR OF 6.8.

LACEY HAS STRONG SURVIVAL SKILLS,

BUT HER IMPETUOUS NATURE COULD CLASH WITH A CONVENTIONAL,

MILITARY-MINDED PARTNER.

LACEY BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 7.1.

HE'S THE HULK. YES.

AND THIS IS LACEY THE HURRICANE.

YES.

SHE'S MY SMALL PACKAGE OF TNT.

YEAH.

Jason: DAY 2. WE HAVE TO HYDRATE UP.

I ALREADY CAN FEEL IT. I'M SWEATING BUCKETS.

OH, CHECK THIS OUT.

OH, MY GOSH. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

SEE IF THERE'S ANY FISH. OHH!

OKAY.

WE COULD PROBABLY DRINK THAT. RIGHT THERE?

YEAH, IT'S FILTERING RIGHT THROUGH.

LOOK, IT'S FED IN UNDER THE WATER.

-ABSOLUTELY. -OH, MY GOSH. THE WATER IS COLD,

AND IT LOOKS FREAKING DELICIOUS.

IT'S COMING RIGHT THROUGH ALL THE ROCK AND GRAVEL.

IF THERE'S COLD WATER COMING OUT,

IT'S COMING FROM A SPRING SOMEWHERE.

SO IT'S A SPRING-FED WATER COMING TO YOU.

I AM 100% POSITIVE

THAT THIS WOULD BE CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE FILTER

THAT IT'S GOT GOING THROUGH IT, SO...

I MEAN, THAT'S BIG FOR US.

-SO, WE DO IT? -YEAH.

-WE DO IT. -I'M DRINKING OUT OF IT.

OH, THAT'S GOOD.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOUR SUNBURN.

Jason: THIS PLACE IS BRUTAL ON MY SKIN.

I'M DEFINITELY GETTING REALLY RED.

OH, MAN. THIS IS *BLEEP* NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL.

OHH.

OH, YEAH. UGH. OH, MY GOD,

THIS IS -- I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS ALL NIGHT.

UGH!

MY PARTNER, HE GOT PRETTY BAD SUNBURN,

AND HE'S HAVING A HARD TIME.

MY HEAD JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S GONNA EXPLODE.

AND HE HAS A HEADACHE, HE'S GOT A FEVER.

IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD.

*BLEEP*

HIS HEADACHE'S GETTING WORSE, AND HIS FEVER'S GETTING WORSE.

JAY?

AND I HATE TO SEE HIM IN ALL THIS PAIN.

HE'S IN A LOT OF PAIN.

AND HE WON'T LEAVE 'CAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO LEAVE ME HERE.

Lacey: MY PARTNER IS STILL STRUGGLING

PHYSICALLY DUE TO HIS SEVERE SUNBURN.

SO I REALLY THINK I NEED TO JUMP AHEAD OF THIS AND GET PROACTIVE.

THERE ARE QUITE A FEW NATURAL REMEDIES

THAT HAVE BEEN USED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME.

I MEAN, THIS IS THE MAYAN MOUNTAINS.

GROWING UP, I WAS TAUGHT THERE IS A TREE --

IT'S THE GUMBO-LIMBO TREE.

I KNOW IT BETTER AS, LIKE, THE TOURIST TREE.

PROBLEM IS, I CAN'T FIND THEM ANYWHERE HERE.

SO I'M THINKING ABOUT CROSSING THE RIVER.

WE'RE ON THE TAIL END OF THIS HURRICANE,

SO THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

LIKE, THERE'S LOGS, THERE'S STICKS AND STUFF.

THE WATER IS -- IT'S MOVING PRETTY FAST.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'LL FIND OVER THERE.

HOPEFULLY IT'S WHAT I NEED.

IF IT'S NOT, I DON'T THINK I'M GONNA TELL MY PARTNER

I EVEN ATTEMPTED THIS.

I'M TORN BETWEEN WHETHER I WANT TO DO

A RISK ASSESSMENT WITH MY PARTNER.

BUT HE MIGHT FEEL THAT THE RISK TO ME IS NOT WORTH HELPING HIM.

AND I'VE ALWAYS LIVED MY LIFE ON THE THEORY

THAT IT'S BETTER TO ASK FORGIVENESS

THAN ASK PERMISSION.

NO WAY. I THINK THAT'S IT.

Narrator: THE RESIN OF THE GUMBO-LIMBO,

OR THE TOURIST TREE, WAS FIRST USED AS A MAYAN REMEDY

FOR SKIN INFLAMMATION THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.

YEAH. SEE?

TOURIST TREE. PEELING SKIN.

I DON'T WANT TO HURT THE TREE TOO BAD,

BUT MY PARTNER IS HURT,

AND I DON'T KNOW

THAT HE'LL MAKE IT WITHOUT THIS.

I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING FOR BOTH OF US.

-NUH-UH. -YEAH.

-IT'S FOR YOUR SUNBURN. -REALLY?

IF YOU SMELL IT, IT SMELLS VERY MEDICINAL.

OH, YEAH.

YEAH. SO, I'M JUST GONNA HACK A LITTLE BIT ALONG HERE,

HELP IT RELEASE SOME OF THE JUICES.

-OH, IT SMELLS GOOD. -OH.

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA JUST RUB IT ALL OVER.

IT MIGHT HURT A LITTLE BIT.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

-JUST, LIKE, FULL DISCLOSURE... -MM-HMM.

I DID HAVE TO GO ACROSS THE RIVER TO GET THIS.

IT WAS, LIKE, THREE OR FOUR HEARTY STROKES.

-OKAY. -I DID SOME RECON,

AND I FOUND THE SAFEST SPOT.

I DID A RISK ASSESSMENT WITHOUT YOU, THOUGH.

-SO YOU'RE NOT MAD? -I'M NOT MAD,

BUT MAYBE NEXT TIME COME GET ME

SO THAT WE'RE DOING IT TOGETHER IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN.

I KNOW YOU'RE A STRONG SWIMMER, BUT AT LEAST I COULD BE THERE.

-YEAH. -I CAN'T HAVE YOU GET HURT.

THE LAST THING I WANT IS YOU TO BE GONE.

OKAY.

Jason: THE RISK VERSUS REWARD IS SOMETHING

THAT I REALLY LOOK AT ON EVERYTHING I DO.

SHE TOOK A CHANCE. IT WORKED OUT.

BUT IT COULD'VE BEEN DISASTROUS.

THIS IS OUR BEACH GETAWAY BY THE WATER.

SO ON SUNNY DAYS WE CAN JUST CHILL DOWN HERE.

SO, HERE IT IS.

IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY SWEET.

AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE SITTING IN FRONT OF.

THE BLADEN RIVER.

WHAT WE NEED TO REALLY FOCUS ON NOW

IS HOW TO GET SOME GOOD PROTEIN.

SO, I'M GETTING BAIT USING THE COHUNE NUTS THAT I FOUND.

THE OIL IN THEM IS LIKE COCONUT OIL,

WHICH MAYANS USED FOR SOAP AND COOKING.

BUT IT'S ALSO REALLY SWEET, AND THE FISH LOVE IT.

WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL CHEW IT UP,

AND ONCE THE NET SITS AND SETTLES ON THE BOTTOM

FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, I'LL THROW IT ON TOP OF THE NET,

AND THE FISH JUST SWARM TO IT, SO...

-OH. -OH, ONE JUMPED OUT.

LITTLE BUGGER.

I KNOW WE GOT SOME.

I THINK WE GOT TO CHEW IT UP A LITTLE BIT --

OH!

-A LITTLE BIT MORE. -I LOVE THAT.

-YEAH, THERE'S TWO, FOUR... -LOOK AT THAT!

I'M PROUD OF US.

LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GONNA BE EATING REALLY GOOD TONIGHT.

LOTS OF PROTEIN, AND WE NEED IT.

-I CAN FEEL MYSELF... -OH, YEAH.

GETTING WEAKER EVERY DAY.

HERE WE GO.

Lacey: THIS AREA HAS ALL THESE WILD TOMATOES GROWING,

THESE LITTLE BABY TOMATOES,

AND THEY'RE GONNA GO GREAT WITH OUR FISH KEBABS.

NOT BAD.

-TASTES LIKE FIRE AND TOMATO. -YEAH.

AND FISH. MMM.

MINNOWS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT, BUT MINNOWS TO US ARE "MWAH!"

Jason: SON OF A BITCH.

-ARE YOU GETTING EATEN BY BUGS? -UNH-UNH.

BUT MY FEET ARE *BLEEP* KILLING ME.

I AM *BLEEP* NOT HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

I JUST FEEL MISERABLE RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

I MEAN... BUT LOOK AT MY FEET.

LOOK AT THAT ONE.

OH, MY GOSH.

THAT IS MORBIDLY DISGUSTING.

SO, THEY'RE JUST SO SWOLLEN.

IT'S LIKE I GOT TONS OF WATER.

AND I JUST TAKE AND I PUSH DOWN,

I CAN, LIKE, MOVE IT AROUND.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS,

BUT YOU CAN SEE IT LEAVES AN INDENT IN MY FOOT.

BUT IT'S SLOWLY BECOMING HARDER AND HARDER TO WALK.

Narrator: HOT ENVIRONMENTS CAN CAUSE WATER RETENTION,

RESULTING IN PAINFUL SWELLING IN THE ANKLES AND FEET.

Lacey: MY PARTNER IS STILL STRUGGLING PHYSICALLY.

I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SOMETHING

I WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH OUT HERE

BECAUSE MY PARTNER'S A BIG, BURLY MAN.

BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO BE ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER.

YOU HAVE A *BLEEP* TON OF BUG BITES.

LIKE, YOU HAVE BUG BITES ON YOUR BUG BITES.

I HURT.

I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE.

I'M JUST GONNA GO EXPLORE AND LOOK FOR NEW RESOURCES.

COOL.

Lacey: MY GOAL TODAY IS TO HELP HIM

AS BEST I CAN TO HEAL

SO THAT HE WON'T BE TEMPTED TO TAP OUT.

SO, WHEN WE FIRST CAME IN,

I SAW SOME SMALL RODENT TRACKS,

SO I'M GOING TO BRING A ROCK OVER THERE

AND SET A DEADFALL TRAP

AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

IF I WAS GONNA KILL ANYTHING, I THINK THIS IS THE SPOT.

SO, I HAVE SOME BAIT, SOME NUTS, FOR THE AGOUTI.

IT COMES OVER, IT EATS THE BAIT,

AND THIS WILL SMASH DOWN ONTO THESE ROCKS

AND HOPEFULLY BREAK ITS NECK.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT.

EITHER IT WORKS OR IT DOESN'T WORK.

WHEW.

YEAH, SO I'M HOPING FOR...

SMALL RODENTS.

LIKE LARGE RATS.

MAYBE A BIG LIZARD. I DON'T KNOW.

SEE THOSE BIG CAT PRINTS?

THEY GO ALL THE WAY UP.

LOOK AT THEM. COMPARED TO MY HAND.

THAT IS A BIG FREAKING CAT PRINT.

EITHER PUMA OR WHATEVER

LARGE FERAL CAT IS OUT HERE.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING BIG IS WALKING BEHIND ME.

Lacey: SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING BIG IS WALKING BEHIND ME.

*BLEEP*

WHEW.

THEY MOVE SO FAST.

IT'S BAD ENOUGH BEING LAID UP WITH MY FOOT,

BUT THIS HARD RAIN, IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE,

AND I CAN'T MOVE OR GET OUT OF IT.

AND NOW WE'RE STUCK IN HERE. IT'S CRAZY.

I'VE NEVER FELT MY BODY DO WHAT IT'S DOING RIGHT NOW,

AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE IT'S KIND OF GIVING UP ON ME.

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS WE'RE GONNA NEED FOOD.

I'M WORRIED.

I MEAN, I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW THIS GUY.

HE'S GROWN INTO A FRIEND, A REALLY GOOD FRIEND,

AND HE'S HURTING.

Jason: I'M A BIG GUY. I USUALLY EAT A LOT OF FOOD

IN MY NORMAL, EVERYDAY LIFE.

UP TO 5,000 CALORIES.

AND I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW,

WE'RE LIVING ON MAYBE 100 CALORIES

TO 200 CALORIES A DAY.

I JUST SAW A SNAKE.

AND IT WAS REALLY FAST.

I SEE IT.

DON'T WANT IT TO GET TO THE WATER.

*BLEEP*

NO!

MY SPEAR BROKE ON THE ROCKS.

HE'S HURTING, AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

BUT MAKE SURE HE DRINKS AND HYDRATES.

AND I CAN'T FIX IT. I'M NOT A DOCTOR.

BREAKFAST IN BED.

-OH, DID YOU CRACK SOME NUTS? -YEAH.

Jason: I HATE TO FEEL LIKE I'M BURDENING SOMEBODY,

AND THAT'S WHAT I FEEL LIKE WITH LACEY.

KIND OF FEEL USELESS RIGHT NOW.

I CERTAINLY WISH THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO HELP HIM AS MUCH,

BECAUSE THEN, YOU KNOW,

I THINK WE WOULD BE MORE PRODUCTIVE.

SO I GET FRUSTRATED.

Jason: JUST *BLEEP* PISSES ME OFF.

I'M JUST *BLEEP* IRRITATED NOW.

THE SWELLING IN MY *BLEEP* FOOT

HAS GOT TO MY KNEE NOW.

IT'S JUST CRAZY PAINFUL RIGHT NOW.

I'M JUST -- I'M JUST DONE WITH THIS.

FEEL LIKE MY BODY HAS JUST GIVEN UP.

IT'S LIKE MY BODY WON'T FIGHT IT OFF.

I DON'T KNOW WHY. NOW MY -- OH!

MY OTHER FOOT'S STARTING TO HURT.

Narrator: WITH JASON'S SWELLING SPREADING

TO OTHER PARTS OF HIS BODY, THE PRODUCERS CALL IN THE MEDIC.

YEAH. OH, MY HANDS ARE NUMB.

-YEAH, RIGHT THERE. -WHY ARE HIS FEET SO SWOLLEN?

Jason: OHH.

Narrator: THE EDEMA, OR SWELLING, IN JASON'S FEET

AND LEGS HAS BEEN CAUSED BY HEAT

AND OVEREXPOSURE TO DAMP, UNSANITARY CONDITIONS.

Man: RIGHT. RIGHT.

UGH.

THAT'S JUST THE ORGANS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS?

YES.

RIGHT.

SO, HE'S AT RISK OF INTESTINAL PARALYSIS

UNLESS WE GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

YES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT.

Narrator: INTESTINAL PARALYSIS COULD LEAD

TO AN OBSTRUCTION IN THE BOWEL.

IF NOT TREATED IMMEDIATELY,

IT CAN DEVELOP INTO A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION.

I'M SORRY. I-I...

I WANTED TO BE THERE WITH YOU.

IT'LL BE OKAY. I'LL BE FINE.

I KNOW YOU HAVE IT IN YOU. YOU'RE STRONG.

KICK ASS.

Lacey: I KEEP THINKING, "WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE?

WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE TO HELP HIM MORE?"

I SACRIFICED FOOD. I SACRIFICED TIME.

I SACRIFICED ENERGY TO HELP HIM, TO KEEP HIM IN THE GAME.

NOW THAT HE'S GONE, YEAH, I'M ALONE,

BUT I ALSO HAVE LOST THIS ROCK

THAT HAS BEEN PULLING ME DOWN FOR THESE LAST FIVE DAYS.

THE STRONG, SENSIBLE,

DETERMINED SIDE OF ME SAYS

THAT I AM GOING TO FINISH.

I'M GONNA FINISH!

I'M NOT LEAVING!

IT'S JUST ME NOW.

I'M JUST A SURVIVOR,

AND I'M GONNA CONTINUE SURVIVING UNTIL DAY 21.

SO, THIS IS SHELTER 5.0. I HAVE MADE A SMALLER AREA

FOR MYSELF SO THE RAIN WILL DEFLECT DOWN.

I TRY TO CONSERVE AS MUCH HEAT AS I CAN.

HOPEFULLY IT WORKS.

HOLY *BLEEP*, RIGHT?

I'M STILL SEMI-DRY,

BUT I'VE GOT QUITE A FEW LEAKS.

THIS NIGHT IS GONNA SUCK.

IT'S GOING DOWN REALLY BAD OUT THERE.

OH, WOW. YEAH.

THIS WAS MY PATHWAY DOWN TO MY CABANA.

COMPLETELY FLOODED.

HOLY COW.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THOSE SWELLS OVER THERE.

IT'S DANGEROUS FOR ME TO EVEN BE DOWN HERE.

ALL IT'D TAKE IS ONE FLASH FLOOD

AND I'D BE LONG GONE.

WITH THE RIVER SO MURKY AND MOVING SO FAST,

I'M WORRIED I WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THE PROTEIN THAT I NEED.

AGH. SON OF A *BLEEP*.

OH, I GOT ONE THAT TIME.

MM.

THIS IS JUST NOT WORKING.

WHAT I DO WHEN I'M MISSING MY FAMILY

IS A SORT OF MEDITATION.

I CLOSE MY EYES.

AND I THINK OF THEM ONE BY ONE.

MY DAUGHTER, OLIVE. HER BEAUTIFUL FACE.

MY KIND, GENTLE, SWEET OAKLEY.

LAST, BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, MY HUSBAND.

I MISS THEM ALL DEARLY.

BUT IT'S SO COLD.

THE WIND AND THE THUNDER. THE LIGHTNING.

I'M COVERED IN BUGS.

CREEPY-CRAWLIES.

MY SHELTER SMELLS LIKE URINE,

AND IT'S STICKY AND GROSS.

LOOKS LIKE MY DEADFALL HAS BEEN TRIPPED.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

I REALLY NEED THIS. I AM LOW ON ENERGY.

I'M RUNNING LOW ON ANY KIND OF BODY FAT.

OH.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING. UGH.

SOME OF THE BAIT IS STILL THERE.

DAMN. I COULD'VE SET IT BACK UP,

BUT THE GAME HERE IS SO SCARCE,

MY STRENGTH ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE.

I CAN'T HOLD THOSE ROCKS UP.

DAY 2 LACEY COULD HAVE HELD

THREE ROCKS UP AT THE SAME TIME.

DAY 17 LACEY'S HAVING TROUBLE WALKING.

THIS IS -- THIS IS NO JOKE.

I NEVER IMAGINED IT WOULD BE THIS WAY.

MY SHELTER WORKS GREAT FOR RAIN

WHEN IT COMES STRAIGHT FROM THE SKY,

BUT THIS RAIN IS COMING SIDEWAYS AT ME,

AND I...

I'M SO COLD.

OW.

I'VE BEEN LAYING HERE

IN MY SHELTER FOR LIKE 40 HOURS NOW.

MY MIND IS RUNNING WILD.

I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING CRAZY.

OH.

*BLEEP* I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

I MISS MY FAMILY.

THANK GOD IT STOPPED RAINING.

HOLY CRAP. THOSE ARE HUMONGOUS CAT PRINTS.

IT'S RIGHT WHERE I WALK EVERY DAY.

LOOK HOW DEEP THOSE ARE.

THAT MUST BE A HEAVY, HEAVY CAT.

IT'S A LITTLE CLOSE TO HOME.

CABANA IS DESTROYED.

THIS MEANS NO PROTECTION FROM THE SUN.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO SPEND MORE TIME IN THE JUNGLE.

I HATE THE JUNGLE.

OH, THIS SUCKS.

I KNOW PHYSICALLY I CAN DO THIS.

BUT THE MENTAL PORTION IS JUST KICKING MY ASS.

I'M A MOM, YOU KNOW?

I DON'T HAVE ANYONE HERE TO TAKE CARE OF OR TALK TO.

IT'S ROUGH.

IT SEEMS WASTEFUL FOR ME TO BE OUT HERE...

WHEN I COULD BE HOME.

I MISSED MY DAUGHTER'S FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN.

AND I FEEL LIKE AN ASS*BLEEP*.

I THOUGHT I WAS A LOT STRONGER

EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY THAN THIS,

BUT THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE WAKE-UP CALL.

I NEED MY FAMILY JUST AS MUCH AS THEY NEED ME.

Narrator: LACEY HAS BEEN ALONE IN THE HURRICANE-RAVAGED

JUNGLE OF BELIZE FOR THE PAST EIGHT DAYS.

ON DAY 12, HER PARTNER, JASON,

WAS AIRLIFTED OUT OF THE CHALLENGE.

HE WAS TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL

AND TREATED FOR INTESTINAL PARALYSIS

AND SEVERE EDEMA OF HIS LEGS AND FEET.

I REALLY WANTED TO COMPLETE THE 21 DAYS.

UNFORTUNATELY, MY BODY DIDN'T WANT ME TO.

Narrator: AS A RESULT, HIS PSR FALLS TO 5.6.

AS LACEY STRUGGLES TO SURVIVE,

SHE'S BATTLING HUNGER AND LONELINESS,

AND HER EMOTIONS HAVE BEEN STRIPPED RAW.

I MISSED MY DAUGHTER'S FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN.

Narrator: WITH TWO DAYS REMAINING,

SHE IS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO HER BREAKING POINT.

MY BODY IS BREAKING DOWN FAST.

I NEED TO PROTEIN UP FOR MY EXTRACTION.

I PRAYED LAST NIGHT.

AND THIS MORNING.

HOLY CRAP.

HE MAY LOOK CUTE AND ADORABLE TO YOU,

BUT HE LOOKS DELICIOUS TO ME.

SORRY, NOT SORRY.

I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THIS TURTLE.

TRYING NOT TO WASTE ANY OF THE PRECIOUS MEAT

THAT THIS AMAZING LITTLE GUY HAS PROVIDED ME.

TRYING NOT TO GET TOO CHOKED UP ABOUT IT.

YOUR EMOTIONS TEND TO RUN AWAY WITH YOU

WHEN YOU'RE THIS TIRED AND THIS HUNGRY.

IT'S FREAKING DELICIOUS.

I NEEDED THIS.

I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER ALREADY.

THANK YOU, TURTLE.

MY LAST DAY HERE.

OUT CAME THE SUN.

AND IT IS BLAZING HOT NOW.

IT LOOKS LIKE MY EXTRACTION IS STRAIGHT THAT WAY.

Narrator: TO MAKE IT TO EXTRACTION,

LACEY WILL NEED TO CROSS THE RIVER

AND HEAD WEST OVER THREE MILES OF DENSE, THORNY TERRAIN,

PAST CAMOUFLAGED SNAKES READY TO STRIKE,

TO AN EMERGENCY ACCESS ROAD WHERE SHE WILL BE RESCUED.

AT THIS POINT, I'M EXHAUSTED, AND MY BODY'S SO WEAK,

I'M GONNA NEED TO TAKE THE EASIEST ROUTE.

AND I THINK IT'S RIGHT HERE. BUT WITH THESE CLIFFS,

THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I'M GONNA BE GETTING UP THERE.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO DOWN AND CROSS THE RIVER.

I CAN'T RISK GETTING SWEPT AWAY BY THE CURRENT.

THAT WOULD BE A DEATH SENTENCE.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO BUILD A RAFT JUST IN CASE.

THIS VINE DOESN'T LIKE TO BE TIED,

SO I'M DOING A LOT OF TWISTING AND TURNING.

I'M NOT DOING ANY SET KNOTS.

TRYING TO LISTEN TO THE MATERIALS.

MY BACK IS KILLING ME.

WHEW.

OH, IT'S FREAKING COLD.

WHEW!

I'M ALL RIGHT. I DON'T KNOW

IF I WOULD HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT THIS LITTLE RAFT.

OW! DAMN THORNS.

OH. THIS IS LIKE RUNNING BAREFOOT

THROUGH BARBED WIRE AND FIRE-ANT HOLES.

THIS THORNY, DENSE JUNGLE, I CAN'T EVEN SEE.

IT'S SO DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER SIDE.

THIS IS GETTING A LOT DENSER.

KIND OF LOOKING FOR A TREE THAT I CAN CLIMB TO GET A VIEWPOINT.

ALL RIGHT. I NEED TO MAKE IT TO THAT FIRST BRANCH,

AND THEN I SHOULD GET A PRETTY GOOD VANTAGE POINT

OF WHERE I AM.

OH, YEAH. I SEE THAT ROAD.

IT'S NOT TOO FAR.

OH, MY GOD.

A ROAD. OH!

OH!

OH!

OH, MY GOSH.

I EXPECTED IT TO BE HARD PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY,

BUT I DID NOT EXPECT BEING ALONE.

THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN PREPARE YOU FOR THAT.

I STRUGGLED, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR IT.

I'VE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF.

I KNOW NOW THAT I'M A LOT STRONGER, ESPECIALLY MENTALLY,

THAN I GIVE MYSELF CREDIT FOR.

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO HAVE COMPLETED THIS.

I JUST... WHOO!

AT ONE POINT, I DIDN'T THINK I WAS GONNA DO IT,

AND HERE I AM.

GOOD-BYE, BELIZE!

WHOO!

I MADE IT!

TO 8.2, EARNING HER A PLACE
