Mike: HERE WE GO, BABY.

GETTING READY TO GET DROPPED IN THE JUNGLE.

Jessica: WELL, RIGHT NOW, IT'S DEFINITELY BEAUTIFUL,

BUT AT THE SAME TIME,

IT COULD JUST TURN LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH.

Narrator: LOCATED TWO DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR,

COLOMBIA'S LOS TUNELES REGION IS A HOSTILE AREA

WHERE THE ANDES MOUNTAINS AND THE AMAZON BASIN COLLIDE.

DESPITE BEING LOCATED TWO DEGREES NORTH OF THE EQUATOR,

THIS GATEWAY TO THE JUNGLE IS DECEPTIVELY COLD,

WITH NIGHTS DROPPING INTO THE LOW 50s.

COOL AIR MASSES DESCENDING FROM THE ANDES

CAUSE VIOLENT THUNDERSTORMS THAT DRENCH THE AREA

WITH UP TO 110 INCHES OF RAIN PER YEAR,

MAKING IT AN EXTREMELY INHOSPITABLE PLACE TO SURVIVE.

Mike: I'M GONNA WORK WITH MOTHER NATURE ONE DAY AT A TIME.

WHATEVER SHE THROWS AT ME, I'M GONNA CONQUER.

WHATEVER SHE GIVES ME, I'M GONNA TAKE.

I'M LOOKING FOR A PARTNER WHO'S AS BADASS AS I AM.

LET'S GO!

I'M A FIREFIGHTER AND PARAMEDIC,

SO I KNOW I CAN GET THROUGH THIS.

I GET MY MENTAL TOUGHNESS

FROM EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH.

AS A FIREFIGHTER, I'VE SEEN THAT MUCH CARNAGE

AND OVERCOMING SERIOUS SITUATIONS.

IF I CAN DO THAT, I KNOW THAT I CAN SURVIVE THIS.

I'M VERY CONFIDENT IN MY SKILLS.

I CAN MAKE PRIMITIVE FIRE. I'VE USE HAND DRILLS.

I HAVE MADE LEAN-TOS AND A-FRAMES BEFORE.

I LOVE PRIMITIVE HUNTING.

I'M ALWAYS OUT IN THE WOODS ON MY BOAT.

IF I'M IN AN AREA WHERE THERE'S GAME, SOMETHING'S GOING DOWN.

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO STEP UP AND BE THE HERO

AND DO THE THINGS THAT YOU GOT TO DO TO GET THE JOB DONE.

AS FIREFIGHTERS, WE ALWAYS SAY THE PHRASE,

"TWO IN, TWO OUT TO A FIRE."

WELL, GUESS WHAT?

ON "NAKED AND AFRAID," WHEN WE GO IN,

ME AND MY PARTNER ARE COMING OUT.

Narrator: MICHAEL'S LIFELONG EXPERIENCE AS A HUNTER

MAKES HIM HIGHLY SUITED TO THE CHALLENGE,

BUT HIS CONFIDENCE COULD LEAD HIM

TO UNDERESTIMATE THIS HARSH ENVIRONMENT.

HE STARTS WITH A PRIMITIVE SURVIVAL RATING, OR PSR, OF 6.8.

I CAN DEFINITELY TELL THIS IS NOT BACK IN INDIANA.

I'M DEFINITELY GOING INTO THE JUNGLE.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE AWARE OF OUR SURROUNDINGS,

PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE WE'RE AT AND WHERE WE'RE WALKING,

AND JUST THINK SMART.

I AM AN ARMY NATIONAL GUARD MEMBER AND ALSO MOTHER OF TWO.

ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS.

ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN.

MY NICKNAME IS "PLATOON MAMA," BECAUSE I JOINED WHEN I WAS 33.

DEFINITELY HAD TO EXPERIENCE A LOT OF --

YOU'RE THE MOM OF EVERYBODY.

I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO SHOW THEM,

HEY, AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

BECAUSE I'M SITTING HERE SMOKING ALL OF YOU,

AND YOU GUYS CAN'T KEEP UP.

IN REGARDS TO SURVIVAL SKILLS,

SHELTER-BUILDING AND FIRE-MAKING IS DEFINITELY MY STRENGTHS

THAT I'M GONNA BE TAKING ON TO THIS ADVENTURE.

I WANT TO DO THIS CHALLENGE BECAUSE I TALK THE TALK,

SO NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO WALK THE WALK.

I'M NOT TAPPING OUT. I'M MAKING IT TO DAY 21.

Narrator: AS A MILITARY RESERVIST,

JESSICA HAS THE DISCIPLINE AND DETERMINATION

TO ENDURE HARDSHIP.

BUT BEING NAKED IN THIS WET ENVIRONMENT

COULD PROVE MORE CHALLENGING THAN SHE ANTICIPATES.

SHE BEGINS WITH A PSR OF 7.0.

ALL RIGHT. I GUESS THIS IS IT.

21 DAYS IN COLOMBIA, HERE WE GO.

I GOT THIS.

HERE WE GO!

NUDITY -- IT'S NATURE, YOU KNOW.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ACT LIKE ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN

AND JUST GO DO WHAT WE GOT TO DO.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE LIKE FOR ME TO BE NUDE

OUT HERE WITH A PARTNER.

I'VE NEVER BEEN AROUND ANOTHER GIRL NAKED BEFORE

THAT HASN'T BEEN, YOU KNOW, A GIRLFRIEND.

WHOO-WEE! LET'S GO STREAKING AT THE EQUATOR.

THERE SHE IS. HOW YOU DOING?

HEY, PARTNER! HOW ARE YOU?

I'M DOING GOOD.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M GOOD. I'M MICHAEL.

I'M JESSICA. NICE TO MEET YOU.

SO, YOU HAPPY TO BE HERE?

OH, YEAH. SUPERB!

I AM TOO. HOPEFULLY, WE CAN DO AWESOME TOGETHER.

YEAH, I'M HOPING SO. WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

I THINK I SEE OUR BAGS, LIKE, RIGHT OVER THERE.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET THEM.OKAY.

JESSICA AND MIKE HAVE EACH BROUGHT

A PERSONAL SURVIVAL ITEM.

MIKE HAS A MACHETE, AND JESSICA A FIRE STARTER.

THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN GIVEN A POT.

I'VE GOT THE MAP, SO LET'S CHECK IT OUT

AND SEE WHERE WE GOT TO GO.

SO, IT LOOKS LIKE, YEAH, WE'RE DEFINITELY --

Mike: WE'RE RIGHT HERE?MM-HMM.

OKAY.

AND SO, RIGHT OVER HERE,

IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE FRESH WATER SOURCE.

THERE'S A BUNCH OF GAME -- LOOKS LIKE SOME PUMAS,

SOME JAGUARS, SOME SNAKES.

SO, MAYBE WE CAN FIND SHELTER BETWEEN HERE AND HERE?

YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA

HAVE TO GO OVER SOME CLIFFS.

BUT THOSE THINGS DON'T LOOK LIKE CLIFFS.

IT LOOKS LIKE A CAVE.OH, YEAH.

I THINK IT'S THE FASTEST WAY TO THE RIVER.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ANIMALS SO FAR,

BUT THIS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PLACE FOR SNAKES.

THE ROCKY OUTCROPPINGS AND ENDLESS GRASSLANDS

CREATE A NATURAL HUNTING GROUND FOR DEADLY VIPERS,

JAGUARS, AND PUMAS,

WHO CONCEAL THEMSELVES IN CAVES TO AMBUSH THEIR PREY.

PUMAS CAN POUNCE ON THEIR PREY FROM UP TO 40 FEET AWAY

AND KILL BY SNAPPING THEIR NECK WITH A SINGLE BITE.

WHOA!

LOOK AT THAT ROCK FORMATION.

WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THAT?

YEAH, WE ARE.

MILLIONS OF YEARS AGO, THE OCEAN RECEDED FROM THE PLAINS,

LEAVING BEHIND ERODED SANDSTONE, AND ANCIENT LAVA FORMATIONS.

NOW THESE SOARING CLIFFS AND LABYRINTHS OF CAVES

CONCEAL LEGIONS OF DISEASE-CARRYING BATS

THAT WILL BITE WHEN PROVOKED.

WHEW!

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S LIKE 10 DEGREES COLDER IN HERE.

MM-HMM.

WHOA-HO! WE GOT SOME BATS!

THIS LOOKS PRETTY TREACHEROUS RIGHT HERE.

IT'S GIVING ME GOOSE BUMPS.

HOLY SHIZ. WE JUST GOT TO FIND OUR WAY OUT.

YEAH, THIS IS REALLY SPOOKY.

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT MAKING SOME QUICK TORCHES?

YEAH, WE COULD DO THAT, TOTALLY.

WE COULD MAKE, LIKE, A LITTLE BIRD'S NEST.

WE COULD DO, LIKE, A SNOW-CONE TORCH.

WANT ME TO SLIDE THAT RIGHT IN THERE?

YEAH.

THERE YOU GO.

I REALLY LIKE THIS ROSIN.

IT DEFINITELY KICKS ASS WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING FIRE.

HERE WE GO.

I GOT SOME EXTRA. OKAY.

THERE WE GO.

ALL RIGHT, YOU HOLD THAT SIDE. I'LL HOLD THIS SIDE.

YOU WANT TO -- HERE, I'LL HOLD THIS,

AND YOU PUT UP YOUR MACHETE.

OKAY.

OH, LOOK AT THIS BAT.

OH, YEAH, I JUST SAW IT.

DID YOU SEE IT?

OKAY, WHICH WAY DO YOU THINK? EENIE, MEENIE, MINEY, OR MOE?

WE JUST GOT TO FIND OUR WAY OUT.

YEAH, WE HAVE GOT TO FIND THE EXIT.

OH, MY GOD.

OH, NO!

WHEN I GO TO MY VISTA POINT, TRYING TO CATCH MY BEARINGS,

I DEFINITELY KNOW EXTRACTION IS KIND OF FAR

'CAUSE IT'S WAY OVER THERE.

THAT'S A HIKE.

DUE TO THE DISTANCE, DUE TO THE LACK OF FOOD I REALLY HAVE HAD

AND MY ENERGY LEVELS,

A 2-DAY EXTRACTION WILL BE BEST.

YOU SEE THAT CAVE SYSTEM RIGHT OVER THERE?

THAT'S WHERE I CAN SEEK SHELTER FOR THE NIGHT.

AND THEN WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING, GO FINISH.

THAT'S MY BEST BET.

NOT MUCH LONGER.

WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW, IT WILL BE DAY 20

AND TIME FOR THE 2-DAY EXTRACTION.

LET'S DO THIS.

I KNOW THIS 2-DAY EXTRACTION'S GONNA BE A DOOZY.

IT'S REALLY GONNA TAKE A LOT OUT OF ME.

I'M TIRED, DRAINED.

I THINK I'M MORE VULNERABLE TO WHATEVER PREDATORS

ARE OUT THERE.

IT'S DEFINITELY UNEASY TO KNOW

THAT THERE'S A BUNCH OF SNAKES OVER HERE,

AND YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT STAYING WARM.

I KNOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO THE WAR TORTOISE WAY,

TAKE MY TIME, BE SLOW.

IT'S JUST SCARY.

Narrator: FULLY EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS

AND WITH VERY LITTLE FAT RESERVES OR ENERGY LEFT,

JESSICA FACES A GRUELING 10-MILE JOURNEY.

SHE WILL HAVE TO TREK OVER A LAVA-STREWN VALLEY,

CROSS THROUGH A RIVER FULL OF CAIMAN,

AND ASCEND UP INTO A MAZE OF SOARING SANDSTONE,

WHERE SHE HOPES TO FIND SHELTER FOR THE NIGHT

BEFORE PUSHING ON TO HER EXTRACTION POINT

5 MILES AWAY, ON DAY 21.

WAR TORTOISE.

KEEP MOVING.

THIS IS THE MOST TAXING I'VE FELT

MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

I'M STRUGGLING NOW.

I JUST GOT TO KEEP PUSHING FORWARD.

NEVER QUIT.

I HEAR WATER.

I HEAR A LOT OF IT.

THAT IS NOT A STREAM.

THAT IS A RIVER.

I'M NOT SURE HOW TO GET ACROSS.

IT LOOKS LIKE I FOUND MY CROSSING POINT.

THERE'S NO MOVING FORWARD. CROSSING IS BEST.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

THERE'S A BABY CAIMAN.

♪♪

WHOO!

JUST GONNA KEEP MOVING.

THAT'S A SHEER JUST CLIFF DROP-OFF.

I CAN'T WALK UP THERE,

BUT I CAN TELL THAT IT SLOPES DOWN,

WHERE I'M SURE I CAN FIND SHELTER IN THERE.

THINK IT'S GONNA RAIN, AND I'M STARTING TO GET COLD.

STARTING TO SEE CAVES.

IT'S MY BEST BET TO GETTING SHELTER.

HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL BE DRY ENOUGH FOR THE EVENING.

I'VE MADE IT TO THE CAVE SYSTEM ACROSS YONDER.

IT'S DEFINITELY MORE OPEN THAN THE LAST ONE.

NEED A REST SOON.

THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A HIKE.

THIS IS WHERE I'M GONNA BE FOR THE NIGHT, I GUESS.

RIGHT HERE.

TOMORROW MORNING, DAY 21.

GOT TO FINISH THE OTHER HALF OF THIS.

I'M FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT DAY 21.

I CAN'T WAIT.

I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.

IT'S RAINING AGAIN.

I FEEL I WILL GET PRETTY COLD TONIGHT.

I GOT TO BUNKER DOWN HERE.

COMING DOWN HARD.

I'M VERY MISERABLE --

THIS IS THE COLDEST I'VE BEEN SO FAR,

AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING, REALLY, ABOUT IT.

Narrator: EXPOSED TO THE BONE-CHILLING WIND AND RAIN,

JESSICA'S BODY IS RAPIDLY LOSING HEAT,

AND HER CORE TEMPERATURE IS PLUMMETING.

Jessica: COLD.

I DON'T WANT TO BE TAPPED OUT.

I DON'T WANT TO QUIT.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT HYPOTHERMIA.

AND I'M UPSET.

Narrator: SINCE HYPOTHERMIA IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR

IN WET AND WINDY CONDITIONS

AND WITH NO WAY FOR HER TO WARM UP,

JESSICA COULD SUCCUMB TO IT IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

Jessica: I'M NOT TRYING TO DIE OUT HERE.

Narrator: HYPOTHERMIA SETS IN

WHEN THE BODY'S CORE TEMPERATURE DROPS TO 95 DEGREES.

MEDICS ARRIVE TO EVALUATE JESSICA'S CONDITION.

I DON'T WANT TO QUIT.

♪♪

David: SO, HER TEMPERATURE'S QUITE LOW RIGHT NOW,

WHICH COULD BE A BAD SIGN.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Jessica: I DON'T WANT TO BE TAPPED OUT.

FOR YOUR HEALTH, I HAVE TO TAKE YOU OUT OF THIS CHALLENGE.

Narrator: JESSICA IS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF HYPOTHERMIA,

AND WITH NO WAY TO RAISE HER CORE TEMPERATURE,

HER VITAL ORGANS COULD SHUT DOWN.

FOR HER OWN SAFETY, SHE IS REMOVED FROM THE CHALLENGE.

♪♪

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD TAP OUT.

I'VE COME THIS FAR ON MY OWN WITHOUT A PARTNER.

I'M UPSET.

SO CLOSE.

Narrator: AFTER SURVIVING 18 DAYS ON HER OWN

AND ONLY ONE DAY SHY OF COMPLETING HER CHALLENGE,

JESSICA IS FORCED TO LEAVE.

SHE EXITS THE CHALLENGE 26 POUNDS LIGHTER,

BUT HER RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

RAISES HER PSR TO 7.3.

Jessica: HYPOTHERMIA -- IT'S REAL.

COLOMBIA MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE,

BUT I PLAN ON WINNING THE WAR.

I'LL BE BACK.

A DAY SHY, BUT YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH BEING HUMAN.

I TRIED TO GET THERE.

I DID GET VERY FAR.

DID IT THE WAR TORTOISE WAY -- MY WAY.
