Naked and Afraid: Alone (2020): Season 1, Episode 7 - Survive or Ky Tryin - full transcript
The Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest pushed All-star survivalist Ky to the edge with swarms of mosquitos, bloodthirsty piranhas, and aggressive pumas. Hunger and desperation lead to a risky night hunt in caiman-filled waters.
Ky: WOW.
*BLEEP*
AAH!
Narrator: THEY SURVIVED
IN PAIRS AND IN GROUPS.
AND NOW THE BEST OF THE BEST
ARE TAKING ON THEIR GREATEST
CHALLENGE YET --
TO SURVIVE 21 DAYS...
HOLY *BLEEP*
...WITH NO SUPPORT...
OH, MY GOD!
...NO ONE TO WATCH
THEIR BACK...
Man: THIS IS MY SHOT.
Narrator:
...COMPLETELY EXPOSED.
I'M TERRIFIED.
♪♪
Ky: IT'S GORGEOUS HERE
THIS MORNING.
THE RAIN'S HOLDING OFF FOR NOW.
AND YEAH, THE ENORMITY
OF WHAT I'M ABOUT TO UNDERTAKE
HAS DEFINITELY HIT ME.
MY NAME'S KY. I'M A STUNT
PERFORMER AND AN OUTDOOR GUIDE.
AND I'M FROM TORQUAY, AUSTRALIA.
I'VE DONE 21 DAYS
IN THE LOUISIANA SWAMPLANDS,
I'VE DONE 14 DAYS
IN THE BAHAMAS,
AND NOW I'M ABOUT
TO DO A 21-DAY SOLO
IN THE ECUADORIAN AMAZON.
Narrator:
KY'S SOLO SURVIVAL RATING,
OR SSR, WAS ESTABLISHED
BASED ON HOW SHE PERFORMED
ON HER PAST CHALLENGES
USING THREE CRITERIA --
SELF-RELIANCE, MENTAL TOUGHNESS,
AND SKILLS.
ON HER 21-DAY CHALLENGE
IN THE LOUISIANA SWAMPLANDS,
KY AND HER PARTNER'S CAMP
WAS OVERTAKEN BY FLOODWATERS.
Ky: EVERYTHING THAT WE WORKED
SO HARD FOR WAS SWEPT AWAY.
Narrator:
THEY BUILT A RAISED PLATFORM
FOR THEIR FIRE AND SHELTER.
OH, MY GOD!
I SEE FLAMES!
... AND HUNTED VENOMOUS SNAKES
IN THE SWAMP.
HEY, BILL!
WATER MOCCASIN!
I SEE HIM. THREE.
THIS IS OUR FIRST BIT
OF FOOD.
AND ON DAY 21, SHE AND BILLY
BRAVED ALLIGATOR-INFESTED WATERS
TO GET
TO THEIR EXTRACTION PLANE.
WHOO!
ON HER NEXT CHALLENGE,
SHE RISKED HER LIFE
IN THE DEADLY WATERS
OF ANDROS ISLAND
AND FACED DOWN
HUNGRY REEF SHARKS
IN SEARCH OF FOOD FOR THE GROUP.
SHE HELPED HER TEAMMATE EVA
OVERCOME HER FEAR OF SHARKS...
...AND SURVIVED RELENTLESS
SAND FLEA ATTACKS.
Ky: THE SAND FLEAS ARE
SO INTENSE.
STANDING IN KNEE-DEEP WATER
IS ABOUT THE ONLY PLACE
THAT'S SAFE.
Narrator:
HER RAFT-BUILDING SKILLS
KEPT THE TEAM CLEAR
OF AGGRESSIVE BULL SHARKS...
Ky:
OKAY, NOW, WE'VE GOT FOUR
AROUND US. THEY'RE CIRCLING.
-WHOA!
-WHOA!
Man: OH, MY GOD!
...AND GOT THEM TO
THE FINISH LINE.
SEE YOU, ANDROS.
WHOO!
Narrator:
KY BEGINS THIS NEW CHALLENGE
WITH A SOLO SURVIVAL RATING
OF 8.2.
♪♪
Ky: IT'S REALLY EASY
TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE
WHEN OTHERS ARE SUFFERING
AROUND YOU,
BECAUSE THAT'S MY PERSONALITY.
I WANT TO GET IN,
I WANT TO HELP,
AND IT MAKES ME FORGET
WHAT'S GOING ON FOR ME.
I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED
IF I COULD SURVIVE ON MY OWN,
AND NOW I'M GONNA FIND OUT.
THE AMAZON IS A PLACE
THAT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP ON
GIVING SURPRISES THE WHOLE TIME.
OUT OF ANY OF THE CHALLENGES,
I'VE PROBABLY BEEN PUT IN
SOME OF THE MOST BUGGY AREAS --
LOUISIANA, THE BAHAMAS,
AND NOW THE AMAZON.
BUT I WOULDN'T HAVE SAID YES
IF I HADN'T THOUGHT
THAT I WAS UP TO THE CHALLENGE.
AS THE JUNGLE CLOSES IN ON ME.
THIS IS WHERE
THE ADVENTURE BEGINS.
♪♪
YOU KNOW, THREE TIMES,
AND IT STILL DOESN'T
GET ANY LESS WEIRD.
♪♪
LOOKS LIKE MY BAG OVER THERE.
Narrator: FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
KY WAS ALLOWED TO CHOOSE
JUST THREE ESSENTIAL ITEMS
TO KEEP HERSELF ALIVE.
I HAVE A FIRESTARTER...
A POT...
AND I HAVE A MACHETE WITH ME.
FINALLY, OF COURSE, THE MAP.
I CAME IN HERE.
AND WHERE I'M GONNA AIM FOR
IS SOMEWHERE
WHERE I CAN HAVE A LOT OF
RESOURCES TO GET A GOOD SHELTER.
SO I'M THINKING THERE.
WELL, I'M GONNA HEAD
IN THAT DIRECTION.
Narrator: KY IS ENTERING
CUYABENO, ECUADOR,
IN THE HEART
OF THE AMAZONIAN RAINFOREST,
WHERE TEMPERATURES
ARE WARM IN THE DAY
BUT CAN PLUMMET
INTO THE 40s AT NIGHT.
♪♪
MORE THAN 110 INCHES
OF RAIN A YEAR
KEEP THE JUNGLE WET AND DAMP,
MAKING IT AN IDEAL ENVIRONMENT
FOR SWARMS OF
RAVENOUS MOSQUITOS.
Ky: THIS WHOLE TREE IS JUST
FILLED WITH MOSQUITOS.
Narrator: IT'S ALSO HOME TO
BLOODTHIRSTY PIRANHA
AND BLACK CAIMAN,
THE DEADLIEST APEX PREDATOR
IN THE AMAZON BASIN,
THAT CAN STAY SUBMERGED
FOR UP TO TWO HOURS
AND ARE ADEPT NOCTURNAL HUNTERS.
♪♪
Ky: THERE IS SO MUCH
THAT CAN KILL YOU HERE.
Narrator:
UNDER THE DENSE CANOPY,
PUMAS, ABLE TO LEAP 30 FEET
IN A SINGLE BOUND,
USE THEIR SUPERIOR VISION TO
STALK PREY IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.
AND DEADLY SNAKES --
LIKE THE VENOMOUS BUSHMASTER,
ANACONDAS,
AND BOA CONSTRICTORS --
COIL IN PLACE FOR WEEKS
AT A TIME,
WAITING TO AMBUSH VICTIMS.
Ky: I'M TRYING TO LOOK
WHERE I PUT MY FEET
SO I DON'T STEP ON ANYTHING.
WELCOME TO THE AMAZON.
♪♪
IN THE JUNGLE, THE CAMP SPOT
THAT YOU CHOOSE IS EVERYTHING.
AND AS YOU LOOK AROUND HERE,
THERE'S JUST NO CLEARINGS,
THERE'S NO FLAT SPOTS.
NOTHING'S LOOKING IDEAL YET.
I THINK MY BEST BET
IS TO FIND THE NEAREST WATER
AND THEN FIGURE OUT
A FLAT SPOT FROM THERE.
♪♪
I THINK I CAN SEE
THE TREE'S REFLECTION.
DEFINITELY WATER DOWN HERE.
THAT'S AWESOME.
IT SEEMS TO BE ABOUT
AS HIGH UP AS THE GROUND GOES.
IT'S NOT TOO FAR
FROM THAT WATER SOURCE.
THIS MIGHT BE MY BEST BET.
I'M GONNA PUT ME HERE,
PUT A LITTLE FIRE HERE.
HOPEFULLY, I'LL BE ABLE
TO STRING UP A LEAN-TO
FROM THIS BRANCH TO THIS BRANCH,
FILL IN THE BACK HERE.
WE'RE BUILDING A ROOF
THAT WILL BE ABOVE MY FIRE
AND STOP THE RAINS
FROM PUTTING IT OUT.
OH, THAT'S THUNDER.
I'M PRETTY STOKED.
FOR DAY 1, SHELTER WITH
A BIT OF A FIRE ROOF HERE.
IT'S HUGE.
I CAN HEAR THE STORM ROLLING IN,
SO, PRIORITY 1 ON DAY 1
IS DOWN.
NOW ON MY ENERGY NEEDS,
TO GO TO FIRE AND WATER.
♪♪
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF DRY WOOD.
IT'S EITHER GREEN
OR JUST ROTTED, WET, SOGGY WOOD.
KEEPING THE FIRE GOING
COULD BE A CHALLENGE.
I NEED SOME DRY SHAVINGS
FOR A SPARK
TO CATCH IN THE TINDER BUNDLE,
AND THIS STUFF
ON THE OUTSIDE OF PALMS
IS A LITTLE WAXY
AND PERFECT FOR IT.
DOING A LOG-LIE METHOD
OF STACKING THE KINDLING,
SO, MY PLAN IS TO TRY AND GET
THE TINDER BUNDLE ON FIRE
AND THEN JUST SLIDE IT
UNDER HERE
AND ALREADY HAVE
THIS PILE READY TO GO.
MIGHT LOOK LIKE A MESS,
BUT THERE'S A METHOD
TO THE MADNESS.
STAY WITH ME.

THE FIRE WENT OUT.
I SAW A PUMA OR A JAGUAR.
SPENT THE REST

PICKED A LITTLE SOMETHING

BIT MORE TRICKY OUT HERE.
THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA MAKE
IT THROUGH WITHOUT A FIRE,
AND THAT'S A REAL CONCERN.
I'M JUST GONNA SEE
WHAT RESOURCES I HAVE HERE

I CAN IMPROVE MY SITUATION.
YOU CAN SMELL IT. IT SMELLS LIKE
TURPENTINE OR SOMETHING.

IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE RESIN.
THIS IS AWESOME.
I'M GONNA TAKE A LITTLE BIT
NOW, WRAP IT IN A LEAF.
GONNA NEED A BIGGER BAG.
ALRIGHT. LET'S SEE IT
WORK ITS MAGIC.

DOWN THIS OTHER TREE.
Narrator: KY HAS BURNED
NEARLY 45,000 CALORIES
IN THE LAST 20 DAYS
AND EATEN BARELY 1,000.
SHE'S BURNED CLOSE
TO 4,000 CALORIES TODAY ALONE,
AND HER BODY HAS BEEN CONSUMING
MUSCLE AND OTHER VITAL TISSUE
TO MAKE UP
FOR ALL THE FAT SHE'S LOST.
Ky: HOLY *BLEEP*
YES!
I'M EXHAUSTED.
I GOT TO FIND SHELTER
FOR TONIGHT,
AND I'M GONNA HAVE TO WORK
ON THIS IN THE MORNING.
I THINK NO MATTER HOW MANY
LEAVES I PUT ON IT,
IF IT RAINS TONIGHT,
I'M GONNA GET WET.
I'M REALLY NERVOUS.
JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND
OF ANIMALS ARE OUT THERE.

THAT WAS A HELL OF A DAY.
ALL I DID TODAY WAS CHOP TREES
DOWN 'TIL I ALMOST THREW UP,
AND I'VE GOT NOTHING
TO THROW UP,
SO THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.
I THOUGHT A FEW TIMES TODAY
THAT I WISHED
I COULD JUST SAY
THE WORDS "I QUIT."
HONESTLY, I JUST WANTED
TO SAY THEM.
AND I COULDN'T OPEN MY MOUTH
TO GET THE WORDS OUT.
I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING
TO BE POSITIVE
IN EVERY SITUATION
I'VE BEEN GIVEN,
BUT IT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE I'VE EVER FACED.
MY HANDS ARE SHREDDED.
MY BODY'S SHREDDED.
FREEZING, I'M SHIVERING.
I GOT NOTHING LEFT,
I DON'T THINK.
OH, *BLEEP*!

EVERY NOW AND THEN,
IF I STAND STILL TOO LONG,

START CRAWLING ON YOU,

LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT MEAL.
AAH!
THEY'RE RIGHT UP MY CROTCH.
AAH!
THEY'RE AWFUL UP YOUR BUM.
THERE'S JUST
NOTHING YOU CAN DO

THIS BODY CAN DO NOW.

FEEL LIKE I CAN HARDLY RAISE
MY ARM TO MAKE ANOTHER CHOP.

THIS TREE IS MY ONLY WAY

I'VE LEARNT THAT I AM SO MUCH
STRONGER THAN I THOUGHT I WAS.
I THINK THE BIGGEST GIFT
THAT I TAKE AWAY FROM THIS

I ALWAYS WAS ENOUGH.
FINISHING THIS CHALLENGE
MEANS TO ME
THAT I'LL NEVER
HAVE TO ASK MYSELF
IF I'M GOOD ENOUGH AGAIN.

Narrator: DURING HER 21 DAYS,
KY LOST A TOTAL OF 20 POUNDS.
SHE EXHIBITED EXTREME
MENTAL FORTITUDE, INGENUITY,
AND PHYSICAL PROWESS,
PROVING HERSELF TO BE
AN ELITE SURVIVALIST.
HER SOLO SURVIVAL RATING
RISES TO 9.7.
Ky: THIS IS THE LAST ONE
FOR ME.
I HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE
TO MYSELF ANYMORE.
I'LL MISS THE JUNGLE, BUT YOU
CAN DEFINITELY MISS SOMETHING
WITHOUT WANTING TO BE THERE.
