Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Outbreak - full transcript

As they approach the halfway point of their brutal 40-day challenge the remaining six survivalists merge into a single team only to be dealt a devastating setback when a deadly bacteria threatens to take out their leader.

[ Buzzing ]

Medic: That’s very important,
not to touch your foot at all

with your hands,
or avoid contact.

Oh! Crap!

We’re being picked off
one by one by this jungle.

It’s like this jungle’s,
like, hunting us.

Like, this is it.

Let’s do this. Oh!

I just knew it was gonna be bad.

Narrator: Deep in the
heart of the Amazon jungle,

nine "naked and afraid" veterans



are tackling an unthinkable
survival challenge --

to endure 40 days and 40 nights

in the most remote
wilderness on the planet.

-[ Gasps ]
-Aah!

Narrator: To make it out alive,

they must master the
environment... [ gasps ]

[ Thunder ] Holy [bleep]!

And push the limits
of human endurance.

-[ Gasps ]
-[ Screaming ]

Call a medic. Narrator: Then,

for the first time ever...

What is that? The survivalists

are stunned by
unexpected guests.

Oh, my god!



I did not see that coming.

Narrator: As worlds
collide... holy [bleep].

Narrator: On
"naked and afraid XL."

captions paid for by
discovery communications

after two weeks

in the bug-infested
jungles of the Amazon,

only six survivalists remain.

At Rio Mortal... holy [bleep].

Lacey’s sudden injury forced
her out of the challenge...

[ Grunts ] Okay. Leaving
Amber and Giovanna

to struggle without a leader.

At Punta Araña, major successes
on both land and water...

Holy [bleep] dude!

Yeah, buddy.

Led Matt and Russell to set
out in search of new lands.

Hello? Hi!

What up, y’all?

Giovanna: You guys are
actually thriving out here.

Now y’all are thriving.

And in Laguna Negra,

Shannon’s struggle
with lack of sleep

and extreme hunger worsened.

Don’t -- just don’t talk.

I keep feeling like
you’re telling me to leave.

[ Growling softly ]

We haven’t had a fish
in about three days now.

Oh, yes, we’re definitely...

Feeling very
tired and lethargic.

They’re just not biting.

Yeah, I doubt they’re
gonna want this.

This is just old.

Shannon: Now, the hunger,
you know, it’s a real issue.

It’s really hard to be
going days without food.

I definitely have a greater
tendency to nap a little,

but Fernando’s like my brother,
so we’re probably still fine.

Fernando: We know there
are other teams out there,

and two people deep
in the jungle versus...

A whole community out there.

To me, it seems
like the way to go.

How’s your energy feel now?

Um, low.

You know, the way the
fishing has dried up here,

it almost feels like
a sign to move on.

Going on with,
like, no freaking, um,

reserves whatsoever,

I don’t know how well my body’s
gonna tolerate that, you know?

Will it work? It’s scary for us.

If we keep not getting food

and we kind of
maroon ourselves here,

you know, like, at what
point do we have to, like,

take a leap of
faith and go for it,

versus being stuck here
and never being able to leave

’cause we’re too weak.

Well, yeah, yeah, for sure.

What are you thinking?

Do you think you want
to leave in the morning?

Yeah.

That seems like
the right thing to do.

The car’s already
packed. Let’s go.

[ Chuckles ]

Let’s do it. Get out of here.

I think the roof looks amazing.

It should be pretty darn good.

I’m gonna put a
couple more on there

just to help keep ’em tight.

Well, you guys just
really made our day.

I just want you to know that.

[ Laughs ]

I’m hoping we can continue
more of that success out here.

Nice.

This challenge completely
changed 48 hours ago.

We didn’t actually
have that actual protein

that we needed that
Matt brought to the table

and so did Russell
with the cast net,

bringing in fish.

I’m gonna get a
big tree and cut --

I’m gonna attach it to there

all the way to that
tree over there.

Amber: If you wanted
a warrior in the Amazon,

it’s Matt Wright.

I’m gonna hand you this pole.

Put it on the other
side of that pole.

He’s incredibly knowledgeable.

His skill set’s on point.

And then put it right
on top of the center,

very center.

He’s like a tank.

He can tear down one
tree with one swipe.

He’s intelligent,
smart, good-looking,

and to top it off,
he is incredibly nice.

We really can’t
ask for much more.

Yeah, that’ll work.

Yeah, that is
looking really nice.

It’s awesome to have
a tall person do this.

Looks like it’s clearing up.
We can actually go down

to the water and get
some fish, but one person

has to watch the fire, and
then you guys are gonna,

obviously, throw
the net and catch?

Yep.

I would love to try
a couple throws, too.

Um, we’re not doing
instructional videos

in the morning.

We will teach you
all how to use the net.

But this is another thing.

I know you all said y’all
don’t want to be taken care of,

y’all want to help out,
so we want y’all to cook,

so that’s kind of like
we catch, you cook.

Mm-hmm. Perfect.

Thank you, ladies.

That warms my heart.

Amber: And then there’s
Russell, who is very outspoken.

He’s very forward.

He has the mentality of
he just doesn’t give a crap,

and we just look at each other
like, "where do you come from?"

Gentlemen, I wish you the
best of luck in catching fish.

Y’all working for it tomorrow.

You know, I think we definitely
made the right call on moving.

Right now, we got four people.

That’s a couple
more mouths to feed,

but it’s kind of that
extra challenge.

You know, can I step up and,
you know, help out all four?

Look at that.

[ Chuckles ]

Pretty good.

That’ll work for me.

Didn’t like the girls
being hungry, either.

No, I definitely didn’t
like the girls being hungry.

Russell: Matt and I
show up and we provide.

It’s kind of like
the male instinct,

that we need to
provide for the ladies.

How about a celebratory
fist bump for that [bleep]?

Bam. Bam!

Hey, welcome home!

We have enough food
now to feed a small army...

[ Gasps ] Or four naked people.

Good job. Check that out.

Russell: Yeah, we have probably
double what we got the other day.

They’re coming in, man.

All right, well, ladies, look
how big that bad boy is.

That’s amazing. Good meat.

This one is gonna
have to go to Matt and I.

You know, Matt
and I, we earned him.

So these are yours.

But for now, we’ll
just make this a stew.

Right, I would love
to make a stew.

Whoa-ho.

That... is a turtle shell.

All kinds of, like, claw
marks on this guy.

If I had to guess, a Jaguar
was trying to get to this guy,

and looks like he did.

That means there’s a Jaguar
here who killed this thing recently.

I definitely have come concerns
about this big trek tomorrow.

There’s definitely a feel
now that we’re almost

at the mercy of this jungle.

Check this out.

So it looks like
a Jaguar got to it.

[ Gasps ] No flippin’ way. Yeah.

Something very angry
and large killed this guy.

Definitely a reminder
that things are out here.

Our last day at this camp.

Tomorrow is gonna be
the hardest physical day

we’ve had the whole
time we’ve been here.

[ Animal growling in distance ]

Oh, my god.

It’s in the jungle.

It’s like right behind us.

[ Creaking ]

[ Loud rustling ]

It crawled under our tarp thing.

Jeez.

Matt: It’s the morning of
day 16, and I’m on the hunt.

If it moves, I’m
gonna try to hunt it.

It’s always a tossup
between whether you go hunt

or whether you go fish.

We get a few fish,
that’s nothing compared

to harvesting a big old pig.

I grew up as a sportsman.

My dad always had me either
up in the mountains or out fishing.

As a hunter, I’ve dreamed about
hunting with bow in the Amazon.

You know, it’s a
dream come true.

Enjoy dangerous
situations, and this?

This is dangerous.

Shannon: I think we should start
heading south towards this pig.

If I had to pick a
spot, I’d go by a pig.

Looks like there’d probably
be some fishing over

in that marshy area,

so it’s probably a good spot
that we’d find some people.

A lot of jungle
between here and there.

This is obviously
very dangerous.

I really want to be careful.

Let’s do it.

All right. Let’s go for it.

Good-bye.

That’s it, no going back now.

Off to new adventures.

Shannon: It’s,
like, hard as [bleep]

To navigate through
those black palms.

Ow!

Argh! I hate those [bleep]!

[ Grunts ]

I think I’d be a little upset
if there was no people.

I’d be like, "why did we leave?"

[ Animal growls in distance ]

Shannon, hold up. Hold up.

[ Growling continues ]

There’s something
angry out there.

[ Animal growls in distance ]

Shannon, hold up. Hold up.

[ Growling continues ]

There’s something
angry out there.

Oh.

Let’s be careful.

All right. Ah, [bleep].

Damn it!

Black palm piece of [bleep].

Ah!

Narrator: The razor-sharp
thorns of the black palm

can grow to over six inches long

and sometimes carry
dangerous bacteria.

Matt: I feel like something
shot me in the [bleep] toe.

It hurt like hell.

Shannon: All right, let’s see.

Where -- which way
do we navigate this?

[ Sighs ] I hate [bleep]...

That is definitely...
Some quicksand in there.

I definitely feel excruciatingly
hungry, very dehydrated, thirst.

It’s just hard trying to walk.

[Chuckling] I swear
I just heard a voice

that doesn’t come
from the jungle normally.

I see smoke. Is that a shelter?

Oh, my god, it’s a shelter!

Hello! Hello?

Anybody there? Ah!

That’s a shelter!
Oh, my goodness!

Ow! Woo!

Oh, my god! Amber!
There’s Amber!

Oh, my goodness!

[ Chuckling ] This is amazing!

So good to see you!

Welcome to our home!

We have one more.
He’s hunting right now.

-Oh.
-Yeah, Matt’s out.

Matt is out hunting.
He’s already caught a pig.

He caught a pig already?

With Russell,
before they got here.

They got a huge pig
and smoked it, yeah.

Yeah, dude, look. I’m
still working on my gut.

Come on in. Thank you.

Fernando: Once we turned the
corner and saw the other group,

it was just awesome.

They were super
receptive, super upbeat.

We knew we had
come upon a good thing.

So does Matt hunt every day?

We call him the Amazon warrior.

Really? He’s like --
this is like his world?

This is his world.
He’s meant to be here.

So, he’s exempt from,
like -- like, firewood.

Keep Matt hunting.

No, he does everything we
do, and even though -- he says,

"even though I’m a hunter
and I’m bringing the pig,"

he goes, "it is our
pig, it is not my pig."

That’s like -- you guys are
just chopped liver, I guess.

Matt is definitely a go-getter.

Matt!

Hi, Matt.

Look who it is!

Holy [bleep].

We were just in the area.

Nice to meet you,
man. How are you?

Good to see you, buddy. Oh, man.

Good to be here, man. Good to...

How the hell are you? Just you?

-No, I want to you meet --
-I’m Shannon.

Shannon. I’ll give you a hug.

All right. Nice to
meet you, Matt.

Really good to be here, man.

You guys have a good
thing going, it looks like.

We heard about
your boar kill, man.

That’s -- how awesome is that?

Hopefully we get more.

Are y’all hungry?

All right, this is our lagoon.

Shannon: Oh, man.

It’s like a whole
different world.

It’s so less jungly.

Fernando: It’s not even
fair how easy that is.

Russell: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah!

Fernando: That would be
like three hours I was fishing.

Matt: You guys, we’re
using our fishing boat.

Shannon: I’m really
glad I stuck it out.

I’m so happy right now.

I’m so freaking hungry.
I can’t wait to eat that.

I’m so excited.

Russell: I mean, it doesn’t
get more perfect than that, bro.

-[Bleep]
-[ Chuckling ]

Matt: Oh, buddy!

Whoo!

Hey, we need help!

Too many fish!

Too many!

Fernando: This is
my first day here,

and this is what we’ve
produced in the last hour,

which is incredible.

There’s serious
thriving happening here.

Russell: This is y’all’s
celebratory meal.

Eat as much as you can eat.

-High fiver, high fiver!
-High five!

Fernando: So, guys,
how’s it feel to dominate?

Matt: A good
feeling, I have to say.

Here’s the tribe
in all its glory.

-Yeah! Yeah!
-Yeah, buddy!

-Whoo!
-Whoo!

It’s pretty awesome,
pretty awesome first day.

Matt: Oh, geez.

Matt, are you okay?

My foot feels like it’s on fire.

Russell: Black palm?

Yeah.

I got real deep one in there.

I can’t even bend
my toes anymore.

I mean, look at
that right there.

That’s all I got.

It hurts like hell.

Ah.

Your foot okay?

It’s hurting.

Fernando: What?

That toe here is --
like, this whole part

of my foot hurts like hell.

Almost want to call
the medic, but I don’t.

Shannon: That looks bad.

Let’s get a medic. Medic!

Matt: It hurts to curl my toes.

That’s, like, the main problem.

Definitely could be.

I’ve had them
right there recently.
