Gary:
THERE'S SO LITTLE TO EAT HERE.

I'VE NEVER BEEN HUNGRY
THIS LONG.

Karra: OH, WHAT ARE THOSE
HORSEFLIES AFTER, MY LIFE?

-OH, GOD.

LOOK.
I'M GONNA PASS OUT.

GARY!

Narrator: ONE MAN...

...ONE WOMAN...

WHOO!

...ALONE FOR 21 DAYS
TO FACE THE WRATH...

Woman: STOP RAINING!



...AND FURY

OF THE MOST HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS
ON EARTH.

AAH!

THEY HAVE NO CLOTHES,
NO FOOD, NO WATER.

I WANT WATER.

DO THEY HAVE THE SKILL
AND THE WILL...

FIRE!

...TO OVERCOME THE MOST
BRUTAL SURVIVAL CHALLENGE

OF THEIR LIVES...

NAKED AND AFRAID?

♪♪

Gary: YOU KNOW, THEY TOLD ME
I WAS GOING TO BRAZIL.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE
IN THE AMAZON JUNGLE,

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I'M IN SOME
SORT OF SAVANNA OR SOMETHING.



Karra:
MY BIGGEST FEAR IS PROBABLY

THAT, YOU KNOW,
WE DON'T FIND WATER.

Narrator: FAR FROM THE COUNTRY'S
LUSH RAINFOREST,

CENTRAL BRAZIL'S JALAPAO REGION
IS A DESOLATE STRETCH

OF HOT, WINDSWEPT SAVANNAS,

CRAWLING WITH VENOMOUS
RATTLESNAKES.

IN DRY SEASON, TRIPLE-DIGIT HEAT
REDUCES FLOWING RIVERS TO SAND,

AND SUDDEN BRUSH FIRES RAVAGE
THE THORNY GRASSLAND,

LEAVING SWATHS OF BARREN
WASTELAND IN ITS WAKE.

HOT, DRY AND UNFORGIVING,

THIS IS ONE OF THE HARSHEST
ENVIRONMENTS ON THE PLANET.

Gary:
I'M ABOUT TO BE NAKED OUT HERE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT BE
NERVOUS IN THIS SITUATION,

BUT I'M PRETTY MUCH
READY FOR ANYTHING.

I'M GARY.

I'M FROM REDONDO BEACH,
CALIFORNIA,

AND I'M AN ENVIRONMENTALIST,

WHICH INCLUDES ME
BEING A TEACHER OF CHILDREN,

A NATURE GUIDE AND A MAN
WHO SAVES ANIMALS.

ISN'T THAT AWESOME?

I'M CARRYING A MESSAGE,

AND THAT MESSAGE IS CONSUME
AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE

BECAUSE IF EVERY SINGLE HUMAN
ON EARTH DID THAT TODAY,

THE PLANET WOULD BE
CLEANER BY TOMORROW.

I EAT VERY GOOD
FROM THIS DUMPSTER.

THIS IS THE LIFE
OF A MINIMALIST.

I'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR THIS
MOST OF MY LIFE,

AND THE UNIVERSE
IS GIVING ME THIS.

YEAH.
I'M EXCITED, VERY EXCITED.

Narrator:
AN ECCENTRIC PERSONALITY,

GARY IS ALSO
A SEASONED SURVIVALIST

WITH A VAST KNOWLEDGE
OF ANIMAL AND PLANT LIFE.

HE STARTS WITH A PSR
SCORE OF 7.2.

Karra: IT'S VERY DIFFERENT
AS FAR AS HOW DRY IT IS.

IT IS NOTHING LIKE WISCONSIN.

I THINK MY GREATEST SURVIVALIST
SKILL IS MY MIND-SET,

MY WILL AND DETERMINATION.

I'VE BEEN THROUGH SO MANY
DIFFERENT OBSTACLES IN LIFE,

LIKE POVERTY.

I HAD A VERY NEGLECTFUL
AND ABUSIVE CHILDHOOD,

SO I'M HERE TO BE
A LIVING TESTIMONY

THAT NO MATTER HOW BAD
THINGS GET IN LIFE,

YOU CAN ALWAYS OVERCOME IT.

I THINK THAT MY FIRE-MAKING
AND MY SHELTER-MAKING SKILLS

WILL DEFINITELY HELP ME
IN THIS CHALLENGE.

I'M GONNA MAKE IT 21 DAYS

BECAUSE I HAVE THE WILLPOWER
AND THE MIND-SET.

IT'S LIKE THAT'S NOT
EVEN A QUESTION

OR ANYTHING THAT'S
CROSSED MY MIND.

I ALREADY KNOW.
LET'S FAST-FORWARD.

Narrator:
KARRA HAS A LONG HISTORY
OF EXTREME MENTAL FORTITUDE,

BUT HER SKILLS HAVE
NEVER BEEN TESTED

IN AN ENVIRONMENT THIS SEVERE.

AS A RESULT, SHE SCORES
AN INITIAL PSR OF 5.4.

Karra: THIS IS IT.
END OF THE LINE FOR ME.

THIS IS DEFINITELY OUTSIDE
OF MY COMFORT ZONE,

BUT I AM NOT INTIMIDATED
BY THE CLIMATE AND WHAT I SEE.

I AM 100% READY
TO TAKE ON THIS CHALLENGE.

LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN.

NAKED IN BRAZIL.

THIS IS THE PART
WHERE I GET NAKED.

PEOPLE CALL ME GRANDIOSE,
CRAZY, FANATICAL, ALL THE ABOVE,

AND THOSE ARE THINGS
THAT YOU MUST BE

TO SURVIVE IN THIS SITUATION.

TIME TO START LIVING.

OW.
THIS IS STICKY.

OH!

THERE'S TWO BAGS.

WHERE'S MY PARTNER?

IT LOOKS LIKE
SOMEONE IS THERE.

HEY.
I'M KARRA.

-WHAT'S UP?
-I'M JUST EXCITED TO DO THIS.

SO HUG OR...
-YES.

-NICE.
-NICE TO MEET YOU.

SO GLAD TO HAVE
A PARTNER.

PICKED YOU A FLOWER.

OH, THANK YOU.
AREN'T YOU SO NICE?

IF I PICK A GIRL A FLOWER,
IT'S BECAUSE IT'S EDIBLE.

OKAY.

WELL, I'M GONNA LET YOU
EAT THAT AND WAIT A FEW HOURS.

-YOU'RE GONNA WAIT ON IT?
-IF YOU DON'T GET SICK...

-OKAY.
-...THEN I'LL EAT MINE.

-YOU GONNA OBSERVE ME?
-BUT THANK YOU.

OH, YES. DEFINITELY.
-THAT'S GOOD.

I HAVE A FAMILY
I HAVE TO GET HOME TO, SO...

THAT'S SMART.

YEAH. I CAN'T GET
SICK ON DAY 1.

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, SHALL WE GET OUR BAGS ON?

LET'S DO IT.
COME ON.

Narrator: KARRA AND GARY
HAVE BEEN GIVEN A POT

AND HAVE EACH BROUGHT
ONE SURVIVAL ITEM.

WHAT'D YOU BRING?

I BROUGHT MY HANDY-DANDY
FIRE STARTER.

THAT'S PERFECT.
I GOT A MACHETE.

YEAH.
BECAUSE YOU'RE TARZAN, RIGHT?

LOOKS LIKE
I HAVE THE MAP, TOO.

OH, WOW.
THERE'S A JAGUAR OR SOMETHING.

-THERE'S A RIVER.
-YOU SAW THAT?

YEAH.
ACTUALLY, I SAW THAT UP THERE.

SEE THE PALM TREES?

OKAY.

-THERE'S A BUNCH OF PALM TREES.
-OH, NICE.

AND NEAR THE PALM
TREES IS WATER.

YEAH. WE NEED THAT.
I WANT TO DO THAT, NUMBER ONE.

-YEAH. RIGHT ON.
-WATER.

I LOVE IT.

Narrator: BY HEADING NORTH,
KARRA AND GARY HOPE

TO LOCATE ONE OF THE AREA'S
FEW SPRING-FED OASES,

WHICH PROVIDE PRECIOUS WATER,

BUT ATTRACT MANED
WOLVES AND JAGUARS,

THE AREA'S APEX PREDATOR.

THEY'RE ALSO OVERRUN WITH
SWARMS OF BLOODSUCKING MATUKAS,

OR HORSEFLIES,

WHO BITE BY SLASHING
THE SKIN OF THEIR VICTIMS

USING A PAIR OF SHARP
BLADES IN THEIR MOUTHS.

Gary: WOO-WEE.
PRETTY HOT OUT HERE.

I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE
EATING A LOT OF VEGETATION.

THAT'S GONNA BE
THE BIGGEST PART OF THIS.

THIS FLOWER RIGHT HERE,

IT'S GOT ALL EIGHT
ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS,

SO IT'S COMPLETE PROTEIN.
-NICE.

I'M TRAINED ENOUGH
TO LOOK AROUND,

AND I SEE FOOD EVERYWHERE.

UNTIL WE SEE WATER,
WE DON'T STOP.

-I GOT YOUR BACK...
-LET'S KEEP GOING.

...ON THAT ONE.
OKAY.

WE NEED WATER.

WOW. LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL
THIS SAND IS.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT
I DO WANT TO GET?

SAND,
TO MAKE A FILTER.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF SAND?

I JUST THINK...YOU KNOW,
I WANT TO MAKE SURE

THAT WE'RE MAXIMIZING
ALL OF OUR TIME,

SO, LIKE, I DON'T WANT TO STOP
AND DO TOO MUCH STUFF

THAT'S GONNA TAKE
AWAY FROM WATER.

I JUST WANT
TO GET CHARCOAL.

OH, YOU'RE GONNA CUT
SOME CHARCOAL?

THERE'S A BUNCH RIGHT HERE.

LOOKS LIKE WE HAD
SOME FIRES COME THROUGH,

WHICH PROVIDES CHARCOAL.

MAKE A WATER FILTER.

I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S GOING
TO BE A BURNT AREA

DOWN BY THE RIVER,
SO I'M GONNA DO THIS NOW.

OKAY.
WELL, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.

YOU CAN CATCH UP.

CHARCOAL BREAKS UP
YOUR OUTLINE

SO YOU CAN HUNT.

CHARCOAL FIGHTS ODOR.

CHARCOAL MAKES
A GOOD TOOTHPASTE.

I THINK MY PARTNER
IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE,

WHICH IS AWESOME, BUT THE DAY
IS GONNA GET AWAY FROM US.

NOW, THAT'S SOME CHARCOAL.

WE BOTH AGREED,
WHEN WE GOT THE MAP,

THAT WE WERE GONNA GO THIS
WAY AND LOOK FOR THE OASIS.

WHOA. I'M JUST GRABBING
CHARCOAL REAL QUICK.

THERE'S CHARCOAL RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S SAND RIGHT HERE.

WE DON'T NEED TO
DO THAT RIGHT NOW.

WE NEED WATER.

WITHOUT WATER,
THERE'S NOTHING TO FILTER.

OH, WOW.
LOOK.

I WILL EAT
EVERY FLOWER.

GARY!

REALLY?

Gary: MY PARTNER
IS A HARD CHARGER.

SHE'S GOT A REALLY
FEISTY PERSONALITY,

VERY CHARMING,
THOUGH, VERY SPUNKY.

Karra: WHAT'S HE DOING?

GARY!

HEY!

MAYBE YOU CAN HEAR HER
YELLING IN THE DISTANCE.

WHAT?
-LET'S GO.

SHE SAID, "LET'S GO."

COMING, DARLING.

AHH.

-YOU SEE ANYTHING?
-YEAH.

A LITTLE VALLEY,
MAYBE THERE'S WATER.

WATER?

-NO.
-NO?

IT'S A RIVERBED, THOUGH,
BUT IT'S NOT WATER.

WHAT THE *BLEEP*

Gary: SHE'S A PRETTY
STUBBORN PERSON

AND GETS KIND
OF UPSET PRETTY EASY.

WHERE'S THAT STUPID MAP?

WE JUST KEEP HEADING
TO THOSE PALM TREES.

THAT'S WATER.

SO WE'LL JUST KEEPING
HEADING THAT WAY.

Karra: I KIND OF STARTED
THINKING, LIKE, "OKAY.

WELL, MAYBE HE'S, LIKE, NOT
REALLY ALL WHAT HE SAY HE IS,

OR MAYBE ONE OF US SHOULD BE
HERE, AND ONE OF US SHOULDN'T."

I SAW THE PALM TREES
WITH MY OWN EYES, SO...

DID YOU SEE THE WATER?

THAT...
PALM TREES MEAN WATER.

BUT YOU DIDN'T SEE
THE WATER, RIGHT?

-NO.
-SAW THE OASIS.

-GOT IT. OKAY.
-BUT THAT'S WHAT AN OASIS MEANS.

IT MEANS
THERE'S WATER THERE.

YOU MIGHT BE ABLE
TO PICK UP ON THE FACT

THAT I MIGHT KIND OF KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING A LITTLE BIT,

JUST MAYBE,
SO LET'S GO DOWN HERE.

I'M STARTING TO THINK
YOU DIDN'T SEE *BLEEP*

-WHAT'S THAT?
-NOTHING.

♪♪

WE HAVE TO FIND WATER.

YOU GOT WATER FEVER.

YES, I DO.

I WANT WATER.

OH.

Karra:
HE'S STOPPING AGAIN.

TUBERS,
LIKE A POTATO OR A BEET.

NOW,
THAT WOULD BE A MEAL.

OKAY.
COME ON, GARY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
SUNLIGHT WE HAVE LEFT.

SEE THE PALM TREES AHEAD?

THOSE PALM TREES ARE
DEFINITELY A SIGN OF WATER.

OW.
*BLEEP*

OH, YEAH.

LOOKS LIKE
A SWIMMING POND.

OH!

OH, WATER.

YAY!
-IT'S AWESOME.

OH, GOD.
I FEEL SO RELIEVED.

I THINK WE SHOULD MAYBE MAKE
SOME TEMPORARY SHELTER.

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S A LOT OF MOSQUITOES
OVER HERE BECAUSE OF THE WATER.

WITH A FIRE, WE COULD
KEEP THE BUGS AWAY.

OKAY.

WELL, LET'S GET A FIRE STARTED
BECAUSE THIS IS PRETTY BAD.

HORSEFLIES *BLEEP*.

BLOODSUCKING FLIES.

*BLEEP*
WE'RE GONNA EAT FLIES?

DO WE, LIKE, GET
IN THEIR *BLEEP* NEST?

GET THAT OUT OF MY FACE.

-THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.
-OW.

*BLEEP* OKAY.
LET'S GO.

PUT A STONE AT THE BOTTOM

TO HOLD THE TINDER
OFF THE GROUND.

YEAH.
YOU'RE RIGHT.

YEAH.
THE FLOW COMES UNDERNEATH.

YEAH.
SO THERE'S AIR.

TOTALLY.

HOPEFULLY, THIS STUFF
BURNS GOOD.

OH, YEAH.
THROW THAT ON THERE.

-MORE.
-*BLEEP*

GOD, THAT FEELS
SO *BLEEP* GOOD.

THIS IS A REAL FIRE NOW.

WE GOT THIS.

THAT DOES MAKE ME FEEL
A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

SO I'M GONNA GRAB SOME MORE
WOOD, MAYBE SOME MORE LOGS.

Karra: I'M TIRED.

WE STILL GOT TO WAIT
FOR THE WATER.

I KNOW WE HAVE AN ANT FARM
RIGHT BY THE FIRE,

BUT HOPEFULLY, IT'LL KILL IT.

OH *BLEEP*

*BLEEP*

BUGS WERE STILL BITING ME
AFTER WE HAD THE FIRE STARTED.

AH, IS THAT ON MY SCAB?

ARE THEY IN MY *BLEEP* SCAB?

AAH!

Gary: IT'S, LIKE, PERFECT
TEMPERATURE FOR THESE BUGS.

AH! UGH!

OH, GOD.

Gary: KARRA IS HAVING
A ROUGH TIME.

SHE'S OCCUPIED WITH THOSE FLIES,
AND SHE'S PANICKY.

♪♪

Karra:
IT WAS LIKE I WAS SPINNING.

I FELT LIKE I WAS HAVING, LIKE,
A PANIC ATTACK OR SOMETHING.

I FELT COMPLETELY
HELPLESS AND WEAK,

BUT I JUST HAVE TO REMIND
MYSELF OF WHY I'M HERE,

WHY I'M DOING THIS.

WELL, IT'S GONNA BE KIND
OF YOUR PERSPECTIVE, YOU KNOW?

YOU GOT TO KIND OF,
LIKE...

I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S EASIER
SAID THAN DONE,

BUT IT'S REALLY
ALL A STATE OF MIND.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT'S ALL A STATE OF MIND.

SOME PEOPLE CALL BEING NAKED FOR
21 DAYS IN THE WILD A CHALLENGE.

I CALL THIS A GIFT
AND AN OPPORTUNITY.

Gary: WE GOT FIRE.
WE GOT WATER.

I'M NOT TOO CONCERNED
ABOUT SHELTER TONIGHT.

OKAY.

♪♪

♪♪

Karra: SO WE'RE HEARING KIND
OF NOISES, KIND OF...

WHAT'S THAT?

DEFINITELY GOT TO WORK
ON A SHELTER TOMORROW.

♪♪

MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT, BUT
I DIDN'T GET ANY SLEEP AT ALL,

SO I'M ONLY...

I PROBABLY GOT MAYBE,
LIKE, 20 MINUTES,

AND IT WASN'T REALLY GOOD SLEEP.

NOW THE BUGS COME OUT AGAIN.

AAH.
*BLEEP*

LAST NIGHT WAS A TOUGH ONE,

BUT I TRIED TO EMBRACE
PAIN AND MISERY

BECAUSE IF I DON'T,
I'M GONNA SUFFER.

THESE LITTLE BUGS
AROUND MY FACE...

...I'LL SUCK THEM ALL IN
AND JUST EAT THEM.

I DON'T GIVE A *BLEEP*

I'M GLAD THEY'RE IN MY FACE.

I LIKE THEM IN MY FACE.

THAT'S A STRATEGY.

IT'S MY BEST CHANCE
TO MAKE IT 21 DAYS.

Karra: I THINK WE SHOULD MAYBE,
LIKE, HAVE A SHELTER

A LITTLE BIT OVER
THERE, LIKE, EITHER...

Gary: IN THE TALL GRASS?
WHAT ABOUT JUST NICE SOFT DIRT?

WE EVEN HAVE A TREE
TO MAKE SOME KIND OF A...

THAT'S A SPIDER. I'M NOT
SLEEPING RIGHT THERE.

OH, THAT'S EVERYWHERE.

THAT'S JUST
THE ONE YOU SEE.

THIS IS GONNA BE
WAY STRONGER.

IT'S MUCH MORE BRANCHES THAT
ARE ALREADY FORMING A FRAME.

YEAH. WE COULD LOOK FOR STUFF
TO LAY DOWN RIGHT THERE.

WE NEED MATERIAL.

TIMBER!

Karra: MY PARTNER IS LIKE
A SMALL CHILD.

JESUS, HELP ME.

IT'S REALLY JUST TESTING
MY MENTAL STRENGTH

THAT I CAME IN HERE TO TEST,

SO I JUST GOT TO FOCUS
ON BUILDING A SHELTER

BEFORE IT GETS DARK.

*BLEEP*
THIS IS NOT EASY.

AND THEN THAT WILL HELP ME
GET SOME SLEEP.

♪♪

Gary:
I CAN GO TODAY WITHOUT EATING.

SLEEP IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN FOOD IN THIS SITUATION

BECAUSE WITHOUT SLEEP,

PEOPLE TEND TO GO
A LITTLE CRAZY PRETTY FAST,

MORE THAN THEY DO WITHOUT FOOD.

THE LEAVES ARE ON THAT ONE.

I REALLY WANT THAT ONE.

I'M GONNA CLIMB THAT DAMN TREE.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO EXPLAIN

HORSEFLY THAT ACTUALLY BITE,

A TASK THEY PERFORM
WITH UNRELENTING AGGRESSION.

LOOK AT THEM.
THEY'RE, LIKE, SWARMING.

THEY'RE ALL OVER.

Gary: IT'S ALL SHE CAN TALK
ABOUT, IS THOSE FLIES,

AND THEY'RE REALLY
MESSING HER HEAD UP.

UGH.

THERE'S AN ANT IN MY VAG.

Gary: I THINK SHE'S NOT
LOOKING FORWARD

TO A POSSIBLE 'NOTHER
MISERABLE NIGHT.

OH, WHAT ARE THOSE
HORSEFLIES AFTER, MY LIFE?

Karra: AAH!
*BLEEP*

WHAT?

Karra: THIS IS WAY DEEPER
AND HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.

IT'S THE, LIKE, TRIFECTA

OF BEING SLEEP-DEPRIVED,
HUNGRY,

IN A FOREIGN LOCATION,
HOT.

LIKE, THAT'S MORE
THAN A TRIFECTA.

TIRED AND HUNGRY IS WHAT
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE.

IT'S, LIKE...

I GUESS I DIDN'T FACTOR
THE TIRED PORTION.

YOUR INNER DIALOGUE
IS DEFEATING YOU.

YOU'RE GONNA
GET SOME SLEEP.

OH, OKAY.

I'M GONNA GO, LIKE, SEE

IF I CAN DIG UP
A TERMITE MOUND.

YOU SHOULD TRY TO LAY DOWN
RIGHT HERE AND SLEEP.

SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP.

Gary: JUST BEING NEGATIVE AND
WALLOWING IN MISERY FOR 21 DAYS

AND THINKING MENTALLY
THAT THIS IS

JUST MISERABLE,
THAT'S A RABBIT HOLE.

ONCE YOU GO DOWN IT
AND SINK INTO IT,

SOME PEOPLE,
THEY CAN'T COME OUT.

Karra: THINGS HAPPENED TO ME
IN MY LIFE THAT,

YOU KNOW, I'VE FOUGHT THROUGH,

AND I'VE GOTTEN
THROUGH ALL OF IT,

A CHOICE TO GET THROUGH IT.

AFTER ENTERING
THE BUG-INFESTED SAVANNA

DROPS FROM A 5.4 TO A 4.2.

IT'LL TAKE A LOT LESS ENERGY
TO MOVE A LOT FARTHER,

SO I NEED A BUNCH OF THESE
SO I CAN GET OUT OF HERE.

I THINK I MIGHT
HAVE ENOUGH RAFT.

TOO NARROW, LOOKS LIKE I NEED
AT LEAST TWICE THAT MUCH.

WHOA.

LOOK AT THIS,
SOME CAMU FRUIT.

WHOO!
THEY'RE STRONG-TASTING, BITTER.

BECAUSE THEY'RE GREEN, WHATEVER
THEY ARE, THEY'RE NOT RIPE.

THEY TASTE BASICALLY
LIKE EATING PINE-SOL.

THAT'S TANNIC ACID.

Narrator:
COMMON IN MANY UNRIPE FRUITS,

TANNINS ARE ACIDIC MOLECULES

THAT ACT AS A PLANT'S DEFENSE
MECHANISM AGAINST INSECTS.

Gary: IT'S TOO GREEN.

GREEN ISN'T GOOD,
SO I'M RESORTING TO ROASTING

AND GET SOME SORT
OF ENERGY OUT OF THEM.

JUST LIKE ANY NUTS OR SEEDS,

ROAST THOSE BABIES,
VERY DELICIOUS.

ONWARD.

SOME ROASTED CAMU FRUIT.

Narrator: BY EXPOSING THE FRUIT
TO HIGH HEAT,

GARY HOPES TO BREAK DOWN
THE ACID COMPOUNDS IN THE SKIN

AND MAKE IT MORE DIGESTIBLE.

BLACK.

STILL HAS BITTERNESS.
OH, MAN.

THE TANNIC ACID
IS STRONG IN THAT.

TOO MUCH GREEN FRUIT.

MY BOWELS WANT TO JUST EVACUATE.

THEY JUST WANT TO GET
RID OF EVERYTHING.

I'M FEELING IT HARD RIGHT NOW.

UGH.
IT'S IN MY INTESTINES.

UGH.

MY STOMACH'S UPSET.

IT'S BURNING HOLES
IN MY MOUTH.

MY BODY IS REJECTING IT.

THIS STUFF IS KILLING ME.

IT'S TEARING ME APART.

THESE FLIES RIGHT HERE,
THEY'RE BLOODSUCKERS.

GOT BLOOD ON MY WRIST.

SEE MY LEG LEAKING BLOOD?

BLOOD ON MY FINGERS,
AND LOOK, THE OTHER FLIES,

THEY FEED ON THE BLOOD.

COME ON. REALLY?

OH, THESE CUTS ARE DELICIOUS.

HOW DID YOU GET THEM
TO TASTE SO SAVORY?

CUT MYSELF ON SOME THORNS
OVER BY THE RIVER.

ENJOY YOURSELF.

I ATE TOO MUCH GREEN FRUIT.

Narrator:
WEAKENED FROM STARVATION,

GARY'S STOMACH IS UNABLE

TO PROCESS THE TANNIC ACID
FROM THE FRUIT,

LEAVING IT TO BURN
THE WALLS OF HIS INTESTINES.

Gary:
IT'S TEARING ME APART.

I WOULD THINK

Narrator: GARY IS DIAGNOSED

INTESTINAL INFECTION

THAT IS EATING THROUGH
THE WALLS OF HIS STOMACH.

TO PREVENT INTERNAL BLEEDING

HE IS FORCED TO TAP

HE SHOWED GREAT SKILL

NAKED AND AFRAID.
