Hacking the Wild (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Desert Island Castaway - full transcript

Quitmeyer:
I'M ON A REMOTE ISLAND...

OW. OW.

OW.

MY STOMACH'S REALLY
NOT FEELING GOOD.

...GUARDED BY CRASHING WAVES
AND A DANGEROUS REEF.

TO SURVIVE HERE,
I'LL RELY ON MY TECH

I CARRY IN MY BACKPACK.

MADE OUR OWN PUMP.

THERE WE GO.

[ LAUGHS ]

IF I CAN HACK
THIS PARADISE,



I MIGHT STAY ALIVE LONG ENOUGH
TO GET OFF THIS ISLAND.

SURVIVAL TECHNIQUES HAVEN'T
CHANGED IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

FOOD, WATER, SHELTER...
WE STILL USE

THE SAME TECHNIQUES
AS CAVEMEN.

IT'S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE.

FORGET TRADITIONAL
SURVIVAL GEAR.

THERE WE GO.

ARMED WITH THE SIMPLE
TECHNOLOGY IN MY BACKPACK,

I'LL TRANSFORM GADGETS
WE USE EVERY DAY

INTO AMAZING TOOLS
FOR SURVIVAL.

LET'S BUILD A FIRE.

THIS IS MY MISSION.

AND I'M GOING TO STAKE
MY LIFE ON IT.

I'LL TAKE ON SOME OF THE MOST
DANGEROUS PLACES ON EARTH...



AS I HACK MY WAY BACK
TO CIVILIZATION.

WHOO!

THIS IS "HACKING THE WILD."

CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY
DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS

PACIFIC ISLANDS ARE HAMMERED

BY SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL
STORMS ON EARTH.

AND WHEN THE SKIES ARE CLEAR,

A RELENTLESS SUN
PUNISHES ANYTHING

THAT CAN SURVIVE HERE.

WITHOUT FRESH WATER,
PARADISE QUICKLY BECOMES

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO DIE.

ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO,

TWO FISHERMEN FOUND THEMSELVES
STRANDED ON A NEARBY ISLAND.

THEY WERE RESCUED
AFTER 4 GRUELING DAYS,

DEHYDRATED AND COVERED
WITH INFECTED SORES.

NOW, I'M HEADED
TO A SIMILAR LOCATION.

MY GOAL IS TO SURVIVE
THIS ISLAND FOR 4 DAYS

AND ESCAPE BY SIGNALING
SOMEONE FOR RESCUE.

SINCE I DON'T RELY ON
TRADITIONAL SURVIVAL GEAR,

I WANT TO SPEAK WITH ONE LOCAL
WHO KNOWS

THE DANGERS OF THESE ISLANDS
BETTER THAN ANYONE.

ROB DUBOIS
IS AN EX-NAVY SEAL.

HE ACTUALLY TRAINS
SURVIVALISTS ON ISLANDS

BECAUSE, IF YOU
CAN SURVIVE HERE,

YOU CAN SURVIVE
ALMOST ANYWHERE.

ROB, RIGHT?

- YEAH. ANDY?
- YEAH.

THANKS FOR MEETING UP
WITH ME.

DuBois: MY CONCERN FOR YOU
IS THAT YOUR PACK

COULD BECOME THE MEANS
TO YOUR FAILURE, OR WORSE.

UH-HUH.

IT CAN PULL YOU
BACK IN THE WATER.

IT CAN PULL YOU OFF
OF A STEEP CLIFF.

UH-HUH.

SO, WE NEED TO BREAK
THIS SUCKER DOWN

AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT IT.
OKAY.

SO, THIS'LL KEEP YOU ALIVE
WHEN YOU DO FALL IN THE WATER

'CAUSE IT'S GONNA TURN
YOU RIGHT-SIDE UP.

OH, THAT'S TRUE.
YEAH.

THIS'LL HELP ME FLOAT?
IF YOU WEAR IT RIGHT.

YOU HAVE TO HOLD ONTO IT
AND KEEP IT ON YOUR BELLY

BECAUSE, IF YOU HAVE THAT
ON YOUR BACK AND IT FLOATS OVER,

YOU'RE GONNA BE DEAD
IF YOU LOST CONSCIOUSNESS.

YOU'LL ACTUALLY BE
FACEDOWN IN THE WATER.

EVERYTHING I'LL USE TO SURVIVE

ON THIS ISLAND
IS IN MY BACKPACK.

INSIDE, I HAVE
EVERYDAY ELECTRONICS,

THE KIND THAT MOST
OF US TRAVEL WITH.

I ALSO HAVE MY STANDARD
ELECTRONICS KIT.

I'M ALSO BRINGING SOME THINGS

THAT ANY DAY-TRIPPER
MIGHT HAVE WITH THEM...

ISLAND WEAR, A SHOVEL,
AND SUNGLASSES.

WITH ALL OF THIS,
I HOPE TO PROVE

SOME NEW METHODS OF SURVIVAL.

YOU'VE GOT GLASS
IN YOUR BAG.

YEAH, IT'S MY, LIKE,
MISCELLANEOUS PARTS.

HAVE YOU EVER
FALLEN DOWN?

MANY TIMES, YES.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS
TO GLASS WHEN YOU FALL DOWN?

I... IT PROBABLY WON'T...
WON'T WITHSTAND IT THAT WELL.

WHEN THAT THING OPENS UP
AND YOU PUT YOUR HAND IN,

YOU BECOME A CASUALTY
OF YOUR OWN MISSION.

OH, UH-HUH.
YOU'VE SLASHED IT DOWN.

YOU'VE LOST A TENDON.
YOU'VE LOST A FINGER.

AND NOW YOU'RE
BEGINNING TO INFECT.

AND YOU'RE GOD KNOWS
HOW MANY DAYS AWAY FROM A RESCUE

OR FROM A DOCTOR
HELPING YOU OUT.

WHAT YOU MAY
NOT UNDERSTAND,

AS A PERSON WHO'S NOT
IN THE SURVIVAL WORLD,

IS THAT 3 DAYS
IS THE MAXIMUM

THE BODY'S GONNA SURVIVE
WITHOUT WATER.

IF YOU DON'T
PROVIDE SOME WATER,

YOU'LL DIE
WITHIN 3 DAYS.

YOU'VE GOT
A LOT OF GREAT GEAR,

AND I HAVE NO DOUBT
THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE ABLE

TO DO INCREDIBLE THINGS WITH
THE TECHNOLOGIES YOU HAVE HERE.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS,
IF YOUR KIT CAN'T SURVIVE,

YOU CAN'T USE IT.
UH-HUH.

BUT THIS IS
GONNA BE YOURS FROM ME.

I'VE GOT 10 OF THEM BACK
AT THE HOUSE FROM THE TEAM.

OKAY, COOL.

ROB GAVE ME A DRY BAG TO KEEP
MY TECH SAVE FROM THE WATER.

OH, IS THAT A UKULELE
YOU'VE GOT OVER THERE?

YEAH, THAT'S A UKULELE.
IT KEEPS ME HAPPY

WHILE I'M OUT HERE
WHEN I...

LIKE TODAY,
WHEN I CAN'T GET A FISH.

DO YOU THINK I COULD
BORROW THAT FROM YOU?

YOU'RE SERIOUS?
NO, I GET REALLY STRESSED OUT.

AND, YOU KNOW,
I COULD RELAX A BIT.

HELP YOUR BRAIN ASSESS
THE SITUATION BETTER, RIGHT?

THAT'S ACTUALLY THE FIRST
REALLY GOOD POINT YOU'VE MADE.

WHEN YOU GET IN
A SURVIVAL SITUATION,

YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A COOL HEAD.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE VALUABLE
THAN FOCUSING ON SOLUTIONS

AND NOT THE PROBLEM.
OKAY.

IF YOU GET STRESSED,

GET YOUR HEAD BACK ON STRAIGHT
WITH THIS LITTLE BEAUTY.

AW, AWESOME.
THANKS SO MUCH.

USE IT SAFELY.

ROB SHOWED ME
HOW TO CATCH FISH

AND TAKE COVER
FROM WILD BOARS.

GO!
OH, CLIMB?

IT'S COMING.
GO!

IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH?

NO, YOU JUST
LOST YOUR BUTT.

I ALREADY KNOW THAT IF I'M
GOING TO GET OFF THIS ISLAND,

AT SOME POINT,
I'LL HAVE TO FACE THOSE WAVES.

IF YOU COME IN WITH A WAVE
CLOSE TO SHALLOWS LIKE THIS...

AND NO MATTER HOW WELL
YOU'RE PADDLING

AND KEEPING ONE HAND DOWN
AND ONE HAND OUT,

YOU'RE COMING BACK IN...

IT CAN STILL LIFT
YOUR FEET UP

AND DRIVE YOU
STRAIGHT DOWN,

FOREHEAD-FIRST

AND BEND YOU BACKWARD
AND BREAK YOUR BACK.

I'VE GOT THIS LITTLE DEVICE
THAT I MADE YOU.

YOU JUST PRESS
THIS LITTLE BUTTON.

AND THIS'LL SHOW YOU EXACTLY
WHEREVER I GOT TO.

IF YOU DON'T MOVE FOR FIVE DAYS,
I'LL SEND SOMEBODY.

OKAY, THANKS.

SO, IN TERMS OF SHELTER,

THIS IS KIND OF
A NICE PLACE TO LIVE.

THE MAIN PROBLEM IS,
I'M VERY PROTECTED,

BUT NO ONE
COULD SEE ME HERE.

MY BIGGEST CHANCE OF RESCUE
IS GONNA BE BOATS.

BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF THERE'S ANY BOAT TRAFFIC

COMING AROUND THROUGH HERE.

SO, I NEED SOME WAY TO MAKE SURE
THAT, IF ANYTHING DOES GO BY,

I KNOW THAT THERE'S BOATS
IN THIS AREA.

AND I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE

AND JUST STARE
AT THE OCEAN TO KNOW

IF THERE'S ANYTHING
OUT THERE THE WHOLE DAY.

I GOT TO START WORKING
ON SURVIVING.

I'VE GOT THIS CAMERA.

IF I COULD MAKE, LIKE,
A TIME LAPSE

AND JUST SET IT ON THE HORIZON,

I'LL KNOW IF ANYTHING'S
PASSING THROUGH HERE

THAT I COULD HOPEFULLY MAKE
SOME KIND OF CONTACT WITH.

BECAUSE OF WIND
AND OCEAN CURRENTS,

TYPICALLY ONE SIDE OF AN ISLAND

WILL HAVE ROUGHER WATER
THAN THE OTHER.

BOAT TRAFFIC AND SHIPPING LANES
USUALLY FAVOR THE CALMER SIDE.

SO IF I'M GOING
TO SIGNAL A SHIP,

I NEED TO MAKE SURE
WHICH SIDE I'M ON

AND IF THERE ARE EVEN SHIPS
OUT THERE TO SIGNAL TO.

A LOT OF THESE CAMERAS
HAVE A REMOTE SHUTTER OPTION.

AND YOU HOOK UP SOMETHING
CALLED AN INTERVALOMETER.

IT'S SOMETHING
THAT JUST TELLS THE CAMERA,

"TAKE A PICTURE
EVERY SECOND OR TWO."

AND THAT'S HOW PEOPLE
CREATE TIME LAPSES.

SO, I'M SHOVING THIS WIRE ALL
THE WAY DOWN TO THAT BACK ONE.

AND THEN, I'M GONNA POKE AROUND
WITH THIS OTHER PROBE.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS ]

YOU HEAR THAT?

WE GOT A REMOTE TRIGGER.
AWESOME.

THE NEXT STEP
IS JUST TO AUTOMATE IT.

SO, A SERVO IS JUST
A TINY LITTLE MOTOR

THAT WE CAN TELL IT
EXACTLY WHAT ANGLE TO GO TO.

WHAT WE NEED, THOUGH,
IS A LITTLE CONTROLLER.

SO WHAT I CAN DO IS
PLUG THIS RIGHT INTO IT.

ONCE THEY'RE HOOKED UP TOGETHER,

I CAN USE THE KNOB TO PASS
THIS INFORMATION AND GO,

"HEY, GO RIGHT THERE."

SO, IF I CAN HOOK UP THE TWO
ENDS OF MY REMOTE TRIGGER

TO THIS SERVO
AND JUST GET THEM TO TOUCH,

I CAN MAKE AN AUTOMATIC
BUTTON PRESSER.

SO, WHILE THIS IS BUSY
DOING THAT WORK,

I GOT TO GET TO MY OTHER WORK.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

♪♪

WHILE I HAVE MY ATTENTION
AWAY FROM THE OCEAN,

I NEED A WAY TO KEEP
AN EYE OUT FOR STORMS.

HERE, A STORM
CAN ERUPT IN MINUTES,

SO I NEED TO FIGURE OUT
AN EARLY-WARNING SYSTEM

TO LET ME KNOW I NEED TO HEAD
INLAND FOR SAFETY.

I HAVE THIS GLASS JAR.

IT MIGHT MAKE A REALLY
PERFECT AIRTIGHT CONTAINER

FOR MY BAROMETER.

THE WAY THAT
A BAROMETER WORKS IS,

YOU WANT TO TRAP AIR PRESSURE

INSIDE ONE THING
THAT'S GONNA BE DIFFERENT

FROM WHATEVER
THE AMBIENT AIR PRESSURE IS.

I HAVE THESE SAFETY GLOVES.

WHAT I CAN DO IS MAKE A MEMBRANE

THAT'S AIRTIGHT,
INSIDE THIS JAR, THAT'S STORING

ALL THE GOOD AIR...

THIS AIR THAT DOESN'T HAVE
ANY TROPICAL STORMS IN IT,

IT'S HIGH-PRESSURED...

AND LOCK THAT
INSIDE THIS JAR.

IF A STORM IS FORMING,
THE AIR PRESSURE...

THINK OF IT AS WEIGHT...
WILL BECOME LESS.

THE AIR INSIDE THE JAR
WILL EXPAND

BECAUSE IT HAS LESS PRESSURE,
OR WEIGHT,

SITTING ON TOP OF IT.

IF I JUST GET A NICE STICK.
I'M GONNA TAPE IT ON HERE.

AND THEN, ANY TIME WE HAVE
A CHANGE IN AIR PRESSURE,

THIS STICK WILL MOVE
UP AND DOWN.

SO, I'VE CARVED A NOTCH
ON THIS ROOT HERE,

IT SHOWS UP REALLY NICE AND RED.

IF THE AIR PRESSURE DROPS,

THIS HIGH-PRESSURE AIR
TRAPPED INSIDE HERE

IS GONNA MAKE IT INFLATE
AND THIS STICK IS GOING TO DROP.

SO, IF THIS STICK
MOVES PAST THIS MARK

THAT I'VE MADE ON THE ROOT,

THEN I KNOW THERE'S
A BIG STORM MOVING IN

AND I'VE GOT TO GET PREPARED.

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

IT'S STILL RUNNING.

SO, I JUST TRANSFERRED ALL THE
FILES FROM MY AUTOMATED CAMERA.

HMM.

I'M NOT REALLY SEEING ANYTHING.

THAT MEANS FOR THE,
LIKE, 3 1/2 HOURS

I'VE HAD THAT THING RUNNING,

THERE'S BEEN NOTHING
THAT'S GONE BY.

SO, I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO
JUST PACK ON AND TRY TO MOVE OUT

TO A DIFFERENT PART
OF THE ISLAND.

TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE ISLAND,

I COULD STICK TO THE BEACH.

THIS WOULD BE EASIER,
BUT HAS ME MOVING

IN THE HOT SUN
WITH VIRTUALLY NO POSSIBILITY

OF FINDING FRESH WATER.

THE OTHER OPTION IS TO TRAVEL
INLAND THROUGH THE DENSE GROWTH

WITH A GREATER RISK
OF GETTING LOST OR INJURED,

BUT FAR MORE LIKELY
TO FIND WATER.

I HAVE TO FIND WATER,
SO INLAND I GO.

DuBois: ANDY HAS DEFINITELY
LEFT THE SHORELINE

WHERE HE WAS FOR A WHILE,
AND HE'S NOW MOVING UP

INTO LOOKS LIKE
THE CENTER OF THE ISLAND.

MAY MEAN HE'S LOOKING
FOR A SPRING.

BUT HE BETTER BE MAKING
A GOOD GUESS ON THIS ONE

BECAUSE WHEN YOU LEAVE
THE COASTLINE,

WHERE ALL THE SHIPS
WILL BE PASSING BY,

YOU ARE NOT VISIBLE TO ANYBODY.

I GOT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MAKE IT THROUGH THIS

AND GET TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
ISLAND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

HO.

MM.

I WAS PUSHING MYSELF.

I WAS SWEATING.
I HAVEN'T PEED YET.

I'VE JUST BEEN SWEATING
ALL MY WATER OUT THE WHOLE TIME

I'VE BEEN ON THE ISLAND.

SO, I CAN TELL
I'M REALLY BEYOND THE POINT

OF WHERE I NEED TO BE
FOR ANY KIND OF BASIC HYDRATION.

IT'S SO HOT OUT HERE.

I'M GONNA TRY TO DIP
INSIDE THIS SHADE.

IT JUST KIND OF GETS EVEN
HARDER TO GET THROUGH HERE.

CRAWLING OUT
FROM UNDER THIS DRY HOLLYBUSH.

THERE'S KIND OF
SOME AREA OUT HERE.

AH, AH, AH!

Quitmeyer: AH, AH, AH!

[BLEEP]

GAH, GET OUT OF HERE.

[BLEEP]
OW, OW!

[BLEEP] OW.

WE STEPPED IN A WASP NEST.

OW.

OH, THOSE ARE BIG.

OH!

OH, THERE'S SWELLING
ALL AROUND MY ANKLE.

OH, THAT'S ALREADY
SWOLLEN UP AND ALL RED.

OH, GROSS.

OH, OKAY.

OKAY.

OW, OW, OW.

OH, I REALLY WANT TO KEEP MOVING
BEFORE IT SWELLS UP TOO MUCH

AND I CAN'T WALK ON IT.

HOO, THAT HURTS.

AW, THEY GOT ME
A BUNCH OF TIMES.

OH.

OH.

I TOOK A RISK, CROSSING
THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND.

I'VE BEEN STUNG BADLY,
BUT MY GAMBLE PAID OFF

AND I MADE IT HERE
QUICKER THAN I THOUGHT.

I SEE MY FIRST GLIMPSE OF BLUE.

LOOK HOW PRETTY
THAT IS OUT THERE.

DuBois: SO, HE'S ON THE WINDWARD
SIDE. WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THERE,

THAT, OF COURSE,
IF IT'S DRIER AND WINDIER,

HE HAS LESS CHANCE
TO FIND STANDING WATER.

AND THIS IS...
THIS IS REALLY CONCERNING ME.

IF I'M LUCKY, THERE WILL BE
SOME TYPE OF BOATING TRAFFIC

OR A SHIPPING LANE.

THIS BEACH IS MORE OPEN,
MAKING ME MORE VISIBLE.

AND WITH THE REEF
BEING FARTHER OUT,

I CAN SAFELY ENTER THE WATER
TO LOOK FOR FOOD.

SO, I THINK I'M GONNA START
SETTING UP CAMP HERE

AND FIGURE OUT, HOPEFULLY,
HOW TO GET OFF THIS THING.

[ UKULELE PLAYS ]

THE THING THAT'S GOT ME WORRIED
ON THIS SIDE OF THE ISLAND,

THOUGH, IS WATER.

EVEN THE UKULELE'S TURNING
THIS ISLAND PARADISE

INTO, LIKE,
A HORROR-FILM SOUNDTRACK.

[ PLAYS UKULELE ]

I'M GONNA BE DEAD
IN THREE DAYS OR LESS

IF I DON'T GET A SOURCE
OF WATER OUT HERE.

LET ME TEST OUT
SOMETHING REAL QUICK.

LOOK.
IT'S HOLDING WATER.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S SEAWATER.

BUT, I COULD DISTILL THIS WATER
INTO SOME FRESH WATER

THAT'LL ACTUALLY
BE GOOD DRINKING.

THE CONCERN THOUGH IS, ROB'S
KIND OF A SCARY, FREAKY DUDE.

AND I'M NOT SURE
IF HE WANTS ME

TURNING HIS UKULELE
INTO A WATER STILL.

BUT, I MEAN,
EITHER HE KILLS ME LATER,

OR LACK OF WATER KILLS ME NOW.

SO, I'M JUST GONNA GO FOR IT.

A SOLAR STILL
REQUIRES A VESSEL...

IN THIS CASE, ROB'S UKULELE...
FOR HOLDING OCEAN WATER

AND ENOUGH HEAT
TO CAUSE CONDENSATION.

WOW.
JUST RIGHT HERE,

THAT IS A QUICK WAY TO MAKE
ONE HAND TANNER THAN THE OTHER.

AND THEN, A WAY TO CAPTURE
THAT CONDENSATION.

SO, THERE'S THE PONCHO.

SO, I GOT THIS COCONUT HALF.

IF I FILL THIS UP
WITH THE SALT WATER

AND THEN I LOAD IT IN HERE,

THEN, IF I JUST PUT, LIKE,
A LITTLE WEIGHT THERE,

HOPEFULLY THIS MOISTURE
THAT COLLECTS

WILL DRAIN DOWN THERE.

WHICH WILL BE THE FRESH WATER
THAT I NEED TO SURVIVE.

THIS IS AS GOOD
AS I CAN HOPE FOR.

YOU CAN SEE BEADS OF EVAPORATION
STARTING ALREADY, RIGHT THERE.

I THINK I'M JUST GONNA
HAVE TO SEE

WHAT THIS GIVES ME RIGHT NOW

AND TRY TO MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS LATER,

'CAUSE I CAN'T RISK
BREAKING IT ANY MORE

AND MISSING THE SUN FOR TODAY.

SO, THIS IS THE FIRST FRUIT
I'VE SEEN...

OH, GOD...
ON THIS WHOLE ISLAND.

IT'S FREAKING NONI FRUIT.
OH, MY GOD,

IT JUST SMELLS
LIKE A TOTAL BUTTHOLE.

UGH.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO EAT THIS.

BUT LOOK.

LOOK AT THAT.

THERE'S SOME ACTUAL
MOISTURE THERE.

OKAY.
THIS IS A GOOD THING, ANDY.

THIS IS A GOOD THING.
THIS IS A GOOD THING.

IT'S JUST A BUTTHOLE FRUIT.

JUST EAT IT.

[ GAGS ]

OH, DEAR GOD.

OH, I HATE IT.

I'M GETTING
SO MANY ANTIOXIDANTS.

YAY.

GO FOR IT.

NO, NO, NO.

NO.

JUST DRINK THE WATER.

OH.

IT'S LIKE DRINKING
OLD CHEESE JUICE.

[ GAGS ]

MAYBE I'M NOT CLOSE ENOUGH
TO DEATH YET,

BUT THAT IS A HORRIBLE FRUIT.

THAT IS JUST TERRIBLE.

GOOD LITTLE BEACH COCOON.

I THINK IT'S GONNA HELP ME
REST A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

TIME TO SEE IF MY SOLAR STILL
IS PRODUCING ANY WATER.

SO, YOU CAN SEE, I'VE GOT,
LIKE, A MOUTHFUL OF WATER.

IT LOOKS PRETTY GREAT RIGHT NOW.

I'M STILL JUST TRYING TO SALVAGE
ANY KIND OF MOISTURE OFF OF HERE

THAT I CAN.

RIGHT NOW,
I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER.

I'M JUST GONNA DRINK THIS.

OH, NO.
IT'S ALL SALT.

IT'S ALL SALT.

OH.

WELL, THAT SUCKS.

I'M WONDERING IF,
MAYBE, THE COCONUT SHELL

WASN'T AS WATERTIGHT
AS I WAS HOPING

OR IF IT JUST JOSTLED
AROUND TOO MUCH

AND FLOODED WITH
SOME SALT WATER ON THERE.

'CAUSE I WAS GETTING
FRESH WATER OFF OF THE PLASTIC.

THAT'S NICE.

BUT THAT'S IT.

AW, MAN.
ALL RIGHT.

SO, I STILL THINK
THIS IS A DECENT CONCEPT.

I NEED A WAY TO GET WATER.

IT'S SIMPLE...
WITHOUT WATER, I'LL DIE

OR I'LL HAVE TO EAT
MORE NONI FRUIT.

AND I'M NOT SURE
WHICH IS WORSE.

LET'S SEE IF MY SOLDERING IRON
CAN GET THIS GOING.

I'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE
TO GET A FIRE,

HAVE SOME KIND OF GOOD, REAL
SIGNAL GOING THE WHOLE NIGHT

SO PEOPLE KNOW I'M HERE.

FIRELIGHT IS MY BEST OPTION
FOR A SIGNAL TONIGHT,

SO I'M RISKING
SOME OF MY PRECIOUS BUTANE

FROM MY SOLDERING IRON
TO GET A FIRE STARTED.

WE ADD A LITTLE BIT
OF THE MAGNESIUM TO IT.

HEY, HEY.

THERE WE GO.

[ LAUGHS ]

WE'LL SEE HOW GOOD
OF A SIGNAL THIS IS.

I WAS HOPING THAT WOULD BE
A MUCH BIGGER BONFIRE

KIND OF LOOKING SIGNAL.

YOU CAN BARELY SEE
THE FIRE AT ALL.

AND THAT'S REALLY THE
WHOLE REASON I WANTED THE FIRE.

I NEED SOMETHING THAT
WILL BE ODDLY BRIGHT,

SIT HIGHER OFF THE GROUND,
AND LOOK OUT OF PLACE ENOUGH

TO CATCH SOMEONE'S ATTENTION
AT A DISTANCE.

MOTOR.

GOT SOME SUPER-BRIGHT L.E.D.s

THAT'LL JUST STAY ON,
FLASHING THE WHOLE NIGHT.

SO, IF I CAN HOOK THESE UP
TO THIS NICE MOTOR THAT I HAVE,

GET THEM SPINNING OUT
AT A DISTANCE,

IT'LL MAKE A NICE,
PERFECT CIRCLE.

YEAH.
THAT'S PRETTY EYE-CATCHING.

NOW, IF I CAN GET IT
ON THIS MOTOR,

IT CAN SPIN ALL NIGHT
WITHOUT ME.

GOT IT HOOKED UP
TO A BIG, LONG STICK.

RIGHT NOW,
THE FIRE'S ILLUMINATING

THAT TREE A LITTLE BIT FOR ME,

BUT IT'S HARD
TO SEE IT FROM BELOW,

AND I CAN'T GET
THAT FIRE GOING ALL NIGHT.

THIS'LL JUST RUN
UNTIL THE DAY, AT LEAST.

SO, I THINK
I CAN FINALLY GO WORK

ON GETTING SOME REST
OR SOME FOOD.

FOR SOMEONE
WHO HASN'T HAD WATER,

YOU'D THINK IT WOULD BE AMAZING
TO SEE THESE BIG, JUICY ORBS.

BUT IT SHOWS YOU
HOW REPULSIVE THIS FRUIT IS.

I REALLY DON'T WANT TO
PUT IT IN MY MOUTH.

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

I JUST WON'T THINK ABOUT IT.

[ GAGS ]

I THINK, IF I PUT IN ANY MORE,

I'M JUST GONNA LOSE MORE FLUID
OUT FROM JUST THROWING UP.

I HAD TO REALLY
CHUCK THAT ONE BACK.

I THINK I'M GONNA TURN IN.

HERE'S MY SHELTER.

IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY DANG COZY.

MY STOMACH'S REALLY
NOT FEELING GOOD.

NO WATER, NO FOOD.

I'M JUST A BELLY FULL OF NONI.

I KEEP FARTING A LOT
FROM IT, TOO.

IT'S REALLY GROSS.

I FAILED AT GETTING
FRESH WATER TODAY.

I HAVE TO
FIGURE IT OUT TOMORROW.

I DON'T WANT THAT NONI FRUIT
TO BE MY LAST MEAL.

IT'S DAY TWO.

MY BEACH SHELTER WORKED WELL
FOR THE FIRST NIGHT.

AS I BEGIN DAY TWO, FOOD AND
WATER HAVE TO BE MY PRIORITY.

DuBois: PEOPLE DIE
IF THEY DON'T HAVE WATER.

AND I'M NOT SEEING HIM
MOVE VERY MUCH.

HE'S BEEN ON THIS SHORE
FOR A WHILE,

AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER
THAT'S A GOOD THING OR NOT.

NONI FRUIT IS A GOOD SOURCE
OF FLUID AND FOOD,

BUT EATING IT PUTS ME
ON THE EDGE OF NAUSEA...

A DANGEROUS CONDITION
WHEN SURVIVING.

I'M SEARCHING FOR WATER
AND CAN'T FIND ANY.

BUT MAYBE IT'S NOT
A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

THEY CALL THEM "CANDLENUTS"
OR "KUKUI NUTS",

AND I'M TRYING TO HUNT AROUND

AND SEE IF I CAN FIND
ANY MORE OF THEM.

THESE ARE A KNOWN LAXATIVE,

SO I CAN'T REALLY USE THEM
AS A FOOD SOURCE

BECAUSE THAT WOULD ONLY
ACCELERATE MY DEHYDRATION.

YEAH.

I'M SURE THERE GOT TO BE
MORE AROUND HERE.

OH, HERE'S A COUPLE.

OKAY.
YEAH.

WE'RE HITTING THE JACKPOT.

BUT THESE NUTS HAVE
AN EXTREMELY HIGH OIL CONTENT,

WHICH IS GREAT
FOR HOLDING A FLAME.

KUKUI NUT BAG.

EACH NUT CAN BURN
APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES.

THEY COULD HELP ME
MAINTAIN A FIRE

IF MY WOOD SUPPLY
GETS TOO LOW.

LOOK AT ALL THOSE KUKUI NUTS.

GREAT.

MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO BUILD
A SOLAR STILL WAS A FAILURE.

MY NEED FOR WATER
IS AT A CRITICAL LEVEL,

SO I HAVE TO KEEP TRYING.

THE FIRST THING I HAVE TO DO
IS MOVE TO A LOCATION

WITH BETTER SUNLIGHT.

THE GROUND LOOKS A LOT FIRMER.

THIS'LL BE EASIER TO DIG INTO.

YOU KNOW, IT'S EVEN GOT A...
A SOUTHWARD ANGLE.

SO, MAYBE IF I BUILD IT
RIGHT IN THE SIDE HERE,

I CAN GET EVEN MORE ENERGY,

LIKE THE WAY
THEY HAVE SOLAR PANELS

ANGLED ON YOUR HOUSE.

OH, LOOK AT THIS.

THIS IS JUST LIKE
MY LITTLE BEACH CAVE,

BUT IT'S UP HERE,
A LITTLE MORE PROTECTED.

AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THE SWELLS.

AND I CAN SEE FOR,
LIKE, EVER UP HERE.

THIS'LL GIVE ME A WAY
BETTER VANTAGE POINT

OF THIS WHOLE AREA.

I'VE ALREADY GOT
THOSE BRANCHES PRECUT.

I CAN REINSTALL THEM UP HERE,

AND I CAN MOVE
MY SOLAR STILL RIGHT THERE.

SO, I LEARNED SOME LESSONS
FROM LAST TIME.

FIRST THING I'M DOING IS
TRYING TO BUILD A SLOPING FRAME

SO THAT PLASTIC'LL GO
AROUND HERE

AND IT'LL HAVE
A CONSTANT DIRECTION

FOR ALL THAT EVAPORATION
TO GO TO.

THE IDEA, THEN, IS THAT
I CAN WRAP THIS PLASTIC AROUND.

IT'LL POUR THE FRESH WATER AWAY
FROM ALL THE SALT WATER,

AND I CAN GATHER THIS UP
UNDERNEATH THE FRAME

AND LEAD IT TO MY CONTAINER.

I JUST EMPTIED OUT ONE
OF MY BATTERY CONTAINERS NOW,

INSTEAD OF THE COCONUT,

'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S DEFINITELY
A LOT MORE WATERTIGHT.

SO, I'M GONNA SET THAT
RIGHT AROUND THERE.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S
AN ALL RIGHT DISTANCE.

THIS OVEN'S REALLY COOKING.

OH, YEAH.

SO, MY STILL HAS BEEN PRODUCING
LOTS OF GOOD WATER FOR ME.

BUT IT'S BEEN A PAIN
CONSTANTLY REFILLING IT.

SO, I USED A SERVO,

SOME OF THE PINS
FROM THE BACK OF THE SERVO,

AND THEN TWO OF THESE
CROSS-HAIR BEAMS

THAT COME OUT OF THE TOP
OF THE SERVO

TO MAKE A KIND OF WATERWHEEL.

WHAT IT'S DOING IS,
THESE ARE GONNA SQUEEZE

AGAINST THIS
ROUNDED BIT OF METAL

THAT I PULLED OUT OF THE LAPTOP.

IT'S CALLED A PERISTALTIC PUMP.

AS THE PLASTIC ENDS SQUEEZE
AGAINST THE RUBBER TUBE,

WATER IS PULLED FROM THE BAG

AND FORCED ALONG THE TUBE
INTO THE SOLAR STILL.

THIS IS THE SAME KIND
OF PUMP USED

IN HEART AND LUNG MACHINES
IN OPERATING ROOMS.

IT'S ABOUT TO SQUIRT OUT.

THERE WE GO.
MADE OUR OWN PUMP.

SO, THE COOL THING IS, I CAN
FEED THIS TUBE INTO THE SWITCH,

AND IT FILLS IT AUTOMATICALLY
UNTIL IT'S AT THE DESIRED LEVEL.

MY BIGGEST FEAR IS GETTING HIT
BY A SUDDEN STORM.

BUT EVERY TIME
I THINK ABOUT IT,

I'M NOWHERE NEAR MY BAROMETER.

I NEED A WAY FOR THE BAROMETER
TO DEMAND MY ATTENTION

SO I'LL HAVE TIME
TO MOVE INLAND AND FIND COVER.

I'M GONNA HAVE TO CREATE SOME
KIND OF ALARM SYSTEM FOR MYSELF.

I KNOW I'VE GOT SOME GOOD PARTS
IN THIS DVD DRIVE.

OH, I LOVE THAT
FREAKING... YEAH.

IT'S GOT THAT
LITTLE SCREW THREAD.

OH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

DESTROYED IT.

COME ON,
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET YOU OUT.

SO, I'M GONNA NEED SOMETHING

THAT WILL GET ME, VISUALLY,
THROUGH MOVEMENT,

OR SOME KIND OF LIGHT,
AS WELL AS SOUND.

IN CASE I'M LOOKING
SOMEWHERE ELSE,

I CAN HAVE
A KIND OF AUDITORY ALERT.

THAT'S PRETTY LOUD.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE A COWBELL.

I'VE GOT THE BAROMETER.

AND REMEMBER,
IF THE PRESSURE DROPS,

THIS PART'S GONNA
RISE AND INFLATE,

SENDING THE STICK DOWN.

I ADDED A LITTLE PIECE
OF ALUMINUM

FROM INSIDE THE COMPUTER.

THIS CAN ACT AS A CLOSURE
FOR THIS SWITCH

THAT I MADE OVER HERE.

WHEN THE METAL TIP LOWERS,
IT WILL CLOSE THE CIRCUIT

AND SEND A SIGNAL
FOR A SMALL SERVO MOTOR

TO MOVE A STICK
THAT'S HOLDING DOWN A FLAG ARM.

ONCE RELEASED,
THE ARM WILL SPRING UP,

DISPLAYING A SHINY PIECE
OF PLASTIC AND A BRIGHT L.E.D.

BUT THEN, I WANTED AN AUDIO CUE,

AND I NOTICED HOW GOOD
OF A COWBELL KIND OF SOUND

THIS COMPUTER CASE MAKES.

SO, I YANKED OUT
THAT REALLY FAST MOTOR

FROM INSIDE THE DVD DRIVE,

THE ONE THAT CAN SEND
THE LASER UP AND DOWN.

IT USED TO BE RIGHT HERE.

AND I ATTACHED JUST TWO
LITTLE BITS OF WIRE TO IT

SO THAT, NOW,

WHEN I ACTIVATE THE SWITCH,
IT STARTS SPINNING AROUND

AND REALLY RINGING THAT COWBELL

AND MAKING A HECK OF A RACKET.

HOPEFULLY, WITH ALL THESE CUES,
I'LL BE ABLE TO ALERT MYSELF TO,

"HEY, I NEED TO ACTUALLY
BE CHECKING THE BAROMETER

AND WATCH OUT FOR WHATEVER THE
WEATHER'S GOT IN STORE FOR ME.

LET'S GIVE IT A QUICK TEST,
SEE IF THIS WORKS.

TYPHOON.
OKAY.

I THINK THAT'S GONNA
GET MY ATTENTION.

THIS THING'S LOUD AS CRAP.

AND THIS IS REALLY BRIGHT.

I'VE GOT THE L.E.D. GOING ON.

AND THIS STREAMER,

I CAN PROBABLY SEE
THAT DOWN FROM...

EVEN WHEN I'M WALKING ON THE
BEACH, COLLECTING THINGS.

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD SIGNAL.

IF I CAN'T MAKE A SIGNAL
BIG ENOUGH TOMORROW,

THIS FLAPPING PIECE OF SILVER
WILL BE MY HEADSTONE.

IT'S DAY TWO.

I HAVE WATER,
A STORM-WARNING SYSTEM,

AND I MOVED MY SHELTER FROM
THE BEACH TO A NEARBY HILLSIDE.

MY GOAL IS TO STAY PUT,
FIND OR CREATE

THE WATER SOURCES
I NEED TO SURVIVE,

AND BUILD A RESCUE SIGNAL.

STILL COOKING.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, THE SIGNAL
WAS WORKING PRETTY GREAT

THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT.

BUT I'M STARTING
TO THINK THAT,

NOW THAT I'M UP HIGHER,

I WANT TO FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO BROADCAST FURTHER.

AND, ALSO, IT'S ONLY
WORKING AT NIGHT

BECAUSE IT'S USING THESE LIGHTS.

BUT FOR THE DAYTIME,

I WAS THINKING ABOUT
TRYING TO USE

THE SUN AS A POWER SOURCE,

'CAUSE THAT'S
THE BRIGHTEST THING

IN OUR WHOLE SOLAR SYSTEM.

AND THESE HARD-DRIVE DISKS,

THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY LIKE
THE STANDARD, SURVIVAL,

"REFLECT THE SUN AT SOMEONE AND
SHINE A LITTLE S.O.S." DISKS.

THESE SUNGLASSES HAVE
A REALLY GOOD HINGE ON THEM.

SO, WHAT I CAN DO...
I CAN TRY TO MAKE SOME WAY

TO MAKE A ROBOTIC CONTROLLER

THAT FLASHES THE SUN 360 DEGREES
AROUND, ALL ACROSS THE HORIZON.

I'LL USE A COCONUT SHELL
AS THE BASE,

SINCE ITS CURVE IS PERFECT

TO SEND MY SIGNAL
ALONG AN ARCHING PATH.

I'LL STEAL THE HINGE
FROM MY SUNGLASSES

TO ALLOW MOVEMENT
FOR REFLECTING SUNLIGHT.

AND FOR THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE COCONUT,

I'LL FLATTEN OUT AN EMPTY MINT
TIN, SHINY SIDE UP.

UNFORTUNATELY, IT TOOK ME

UNTIL THE SUN STARTED GOING DOWN

TO FINISH BUILDING
MY SOLAR SIGNAL.

THIS SERVO,
I CAN PROGRAM TO ROTATE,

AND IT'LL JUST FLICK
ANY OF THE SOLAR REFLECTIONS

AT A STEADY SIGNAL.

SO, I CAN DO AN S.O.S.

BUT I ALSO WANT A MORE
POWERFUL NIGHTTIME SIGNAL.

I'M WRAPPING
THIS WATERPROOF L.E.D. STRIP

AROUND MY LITTLE
LIGHTHOUSE FRAME

THAT I'M BUILDING HERE.

THE GOAL WITH THIS IS,
IT'S JUST REALLY BRIGHT L.E.D.s

THAT ARE GOING
IN EVERY DIRECTION, EVEN UP.

I TOOK THE PLASTIC FRONT
OF THE SCREEN OF MY LAPTOP,

AND I MADE A KIND OF BASE

FOR ALL THE ELECTRONICS
TO SIT ON IT.

BUT, SINCE IT'S CLEAR,

I CAN PUT SOME OF THESE
L.E.D.s UNDERNEATH IT.

AND IN CASE I GET
AN AERIAL VISITOR OVER ME,

IT CAN GLOW UPWARDS

AND HOPEFULLY BROADCAST OUT
WHEREVER I NEED IT TO BE.

I'VE GOT THE LIGHTHOUSE BLINKING
MY S.O.S. MESSAGE NOW, RIGHT?

I PROGRAMMED TO BLINK, YOU KNOW,
THE CLASSIC "DAH, DAH, DAH,

DUH, DUH, DUH,

DAH, DAH, DAH"
S.O.S. SIGNAL.

AS THE SUN RISES
ON MY THIRD DAY,

I DECIDE TO LOOK
TO THE OCEAN FOR FOOD.

WITH THE AGGRESSIVE
RIP CURRENTS AND NEARBY REEFS,

IT'S A RISKY MOVE.

I QUICKLY REALIZE
THAT I'LL FIND NOTHING

IF I CAN'T FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO SEE UNDERWATER.

SOME OF THESE PARTS
ARE KIND OF COOL.

MAYBE I CAN USE THEM LATER.

THE ANSWER MAY LIE
WITH THIS CAMERA LENS

AND SOME SURGICAL TUBING.

THERE WE GO.

IT'S WORKING PRETTY GOOD.

THE SEA CUCUMBER.

THESE GUYS ARE SUPER NEAT.

BEING A VEGETARIAN,
I WON'T KILL AN ANIMAL

UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY.

BUT I THINK I CAN STILL GET
SOME FOOD FROM THESE CRITTERS

AND LET THEM LIVE
AT THE SAME TIME.

SO, SEA CUCUMBERS HAVE A REALLY
INTERESTING DEFENSE MECHANISM

THAT'S CALLED EVISCERATION.

LITERALLY, THEY RIP
OUT THEIR OWN GUTS

AND SPEW THEM INTO THE WATER.

BUT SO,
IF WE STARTLE THIS THING,

IT SHOULD EVISCERATE
ITS OWN GUTS.

THE COOL THING ABOUT IT IS,

THEY CAN GROW
THEIR OWN GUTS BACK

IN JUST ABOUT A DAY OR TWO.

SO, WE JUST HAVE TO KIND OF
ATTACK HIM, FREAK HIM OUT.

AH, THERE YOU GO.

IF YOU LOOK DOWN THERE,

YOU SEE THESE TUBULES
COMING OUT.

YUMMY, RIGHT?
BUT AT LEAST THEY'LL...

OH, THAT'S JUST
SOME POOP IN THERE.

THANKS FOR YOUR DONATION
OF YOUR INTESTINES.

I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD,
LONG LIFE, LITTLE SEA CUCUMBER.

TRADITIONAL SURVIVALISTS
WILL TELL YOU YOU CAN SURVIVE

WITHOUT EATING
FOR UP TO THREE WEEKS.

BUT I DON'T CARE
WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY.

I'M FREAKING STARVING,

SO I'M ABOUT TO EAT
THIS PLATE OF GUTS.

MY THIRD DAY
IS COMING TO AN END,

AND MY STOMACH IS REALLY
STARTING TO BOTHER ME.

I'VE GATHERED SOME FOOD,

BUT I'M NOT EXACTLY EXCITED
ABOUT EATING IT.

FORTUNATELY,
I DISCOVERED SOMETHING

A LITTLE MORE APPETIZING...
PAPAYA.

OH, MAN.
THIS IS GREAT.

I FOUND A PAPAYA TREE.

I WAS WORRIED THEY WERE
ALL UNDERRIPE,

BUT THIS ONE WAS JUST THERE.

I GOT A BUNCH OF THESE
UNDERRIPE ONES, TOO.

THEY JUST DRIP
THIS WHITE, LATEX-LIKE FLUID.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN
EAT THEM.

I THINK YOU CAN COOK THEM.

HAVING THIS PAPAYA...
IT'S SO JUICY, IT'S A GODSEND.

IT'S AMAZING.

I'VE GOT SOME OF THESE
BITS OF METAL.

I'M GONNA TRY TO ROAST
THE FOOD ON THEM.

I EVEN HAD THE IDEA

TO MAKE
A NONSTICK FRYING SURFACE.

I CAN RUB SOME
OF THESE KUKUI NUTS

TO GET THEIR OIL ON THERE.

YOUNG PAPAYA IS A KNOWN FOOD
THAT YOU CAN EAT

IF YOU COOK IT PROPERLY.

AND THEN,
THE MYSTERY INGREDIENT...

SEA-CUCUMBER ENTRAILS.

I'M JUST GONNA PUT THOSE RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FRYING PAN.

I THINK MARTHA STEWART SUGGESTS,

WHEN ROASTING
SEA-CUCUMBER ENTRAILS,

TO USE A STRAIGHT BLADE SHOVEL.

PRETTY GOOD, REALLY.

BUT THE SEA-CUCUMBER ENTRAILS
ARE ACTUALLY PRETTY NICE.

KIND OF A VERY SAVORY FLAVOR,
A LITTLE BIT SALTY.

AND THE KUKUI NUT REALLY
BOUND THE FLAVORS TOGETHER.

I'M... I'M WEIRDED OUT THAT
I'M NOT MORE GROSSED OUT BY IT.

I'M READY FOR SOME MORE.

I NEED TO KEEP THIS FIRE GOING

JUST LIKE ALL MY OTHER SIGNALS
THAT I HAVE GOING,

BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO KEEP TOSSING STUFF INTO IT.

SO, WHAT I NEED IS A WAY

TO JUST KIND OF
GRADUALLY FEED THE KUKUI NUTS

TO THE FIRE
WHENEVER IT NEEDS THEM.

SO, I'VE GOT A COOL SOLUTION.

I'VE MADE A KIND OF CHUTE...

...THAT THE KUKUI NUTS
CAN ROLL DOWN

RIGHT TO WHERE THEY BELONG
IN THE FIRE.

THE PROBLEM IS,

THAT IF I JUST LOAD THEM
UP HERE WRONG,

THEY'RE ALL JUST GONNA
FALL IN AT ONCE.

I DON'T WANT THAT.

SO, I'VE GOT
THIS MICROCONTROLLER,

A HEAT SENSOR, AND THEN
THIS MOTORIZED FLAP.

I'LL MOUNT THE HEAT SENSOR
NEAR THE FIRE

TO MONITOR
TEMPERATURE.

WHEN THE FIRE BEGINS TO GO OUT,
THE TEMPERATURE WILL DROP.

THE SENSOR WILL SEND A SIGNAL
TO THIS MOTORIZED FLAP

THAT'S HOLDING BACK
MY KUKUI NUTS.

AND THEN, WHEN I START
BLOCKING THIS HEAT SENSOR,

IT'LL START COOLING OFF.

SO, THIS IS GONNA BE A DRY RUN.

AND WHENEVER IT GETS
COOL ENOUGH... PERFECT.

FALLS RIGHT INTO THE FIRE,

KEEPS THIS THING
RUNNING ALL NIGHT LONG.

AT THIS POINT,
I'VE DONE ALL I CAN DO

TO MAKE MY SITUATION BETTER.

I'M COMPLETELY RELYING
ON MY TECHNOLOGY TO RESCUE ME.

I NEED TO GET OFF THIS ISLAND.

Quitmeyer: DAY FOUR.

I WAKE UP EXHAUSTED.

IT'S GONNA BE A ROUGH DAY.

THIS IS WHERE I SAID
I WOULD AT LEAST GET TO.

BUT IT'S BEEN PRETTY HARD.

AND I'M STILL NOT TOO SURE
THAT I'M GOING TO BE ABLE

TO GET OFF ANY TIME SOON.

I'VE HAD ONLY HALF THE WATER
I SHOULD HAVE,

AND I'VE ONLY EATEN A FRACTION
OF THE FOOD I NEED

FOR STRENGTH.

I'VE MADE A SIGNAL,
A RELIABLE SHELTER,

AND I'VE HAD A FIRE EACH DAY.

I'VE BUILT ALL I CAN.

WITH NOTHING TO DO
TO KEEP MY MIND BUSY,

I CAN FEEL MY BODY BEGIN
TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF FATIGUE

AND THE CONSTANT EXPOSURE
TO THE ELEMENTS.

HAD MY MORNING BATH.

NICE TO GET CLEANED UP A BIT.

GETTING IN THE WATER, IT REALLY
STARTED JUST... I DON'T KNOW,

DID SOMETHING TO JUST MAKE
ALL THESE STOMACH PAINS.

I'M DOWN TO THE LAST
OF MY PAPAYA,

AND MY ENERGY IS ALREADY LOW.

AFTER THIS, I'LL HAVE
TO GO JOURNEY DEEPER INLAND

OR GO BACK
TO THE OCEAN FOR FOOD.

IS THAT A BOAT?

THERE'S A DOT OUT THERE.

LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA
NEED THIS BAG.

I'M GRABBING ANYTHING
THAT CAN HOLD AIR

TO MAKE MYSELF MORE BUOYANT.

I'LL NEED EVERY ADVANTAGE
I CAN GET

TO STAY AS HIGH ABOVE THE REEF
AS POSSIBLE.

THE BOAT CAN ONLY COME SO CLOSE
TO THE ISLAND

OR RISK GETTING SMASHED
ON THE REEF.

IF I CAN'T SWIM TO THE BOAT,
I CAN'T GET OFF THIS ISLAND.

STRAP ON ANY KIND OF FLOATS.
I GOT EVERYTHING.

PRAY FOR A SMOOTH PASS.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

LET'S GO.
LET'S GO.

I MANAGED TO SIGNAL
A SHIP.

SO, YOU MADE
A BIKINI BRA?

I MADE HALF A BIKINI BRA...
SWEET.

...THAT ATTRACTED THE SAILORS
FROM FAR AWAY.

AS A SAILOR,
I CAN TELL YOU, THAT WORKS.

SO, I BROUGHT YOU BACK
THE UKULELE.

BUT IT REALLY SERVED A HIGH DUTY
OF KEEPING ME ALIVE.

I HAD TO MAKE
SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO IT.

DID YOU GET WATER?

I DID.
I DID.

SEE, IT'S WORTH THE SACRIFICE.
I CAN HAVE ANOTHER UKULELE,

BUT YOU WOULD HAVE DIED
WITHOUT WATER.

YEAH.
NO JOKE.

I WAS SERIOUSLY CONCERNED

FOR YOUR ACTUAL SURVIVAL...
LITERALLY, LIKE, DYING.

AND HERE YOU ARE, COMING 4 DAYS
LATER, LIKE YOU PROMISED.

DIDN'T DIE.
