Naked and Afraid XL (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 3 - The Barehanded Killer - full transcript
After self-banishing, Kate is slammed by Africa's wrath. Desperately hungry, Bulent gets a major score with his bare hands but can Makani put aside her vegan beliefs? Wes and Gwen's first big food win goes wrong.
Narrator: Previously on
"naked and afraid xl,"
six days into the 40-day
banishment challenge...
Kate: I'm so thirsty.
...South africa's
relentless heat
and deadly predators...
- Hey! Get!
- Get!
[ crocodile growls ]
[ woman screams ]
narrator:
...Turned up the pressure
on the remaining survivalists.
Especially the team
of makani, bulent, and kate...
Kani, you're not [bleep]
hearing me, man!
...Where conflicting
survival styles...
Oh, my god!
...Pushed kate's mental
resolve to the brink...
You're an arrogant [bleep].
...And led to
a drastic decision.
I'm self-banishing myself.
And she's leaving. That's fine.
Bulent: The problem with kate is
her mental toughness isn't good.
I don't think she'll make it.
Kate: I'm done with them.
I'm [bleep] done.
Narrator: Now, with 34 days left
in a land
where compassion goes to die...
You're not even giving me
a [bleep] strawful?
...And exile is
the ancient law of the land.
The sarwa people lived here,
and they cast out the weak.
Narrator:
Can they harness their skills...
- Yeah, buddy!
- ...To prove their worth?
- Yeah!
- Attaboy!
With my bare hands!
Aaah!
Narrator: ...Or will they be
cast into the wild?
Tomorrow morning,
we would like to see you go.
We're gonna banish you.
- ...To fend for themselves.
- [ crying ]
man: This is a death sentence,
to be alone out here.
There's something over there.
Oh, [bleep]
it's getting closer.
Aah! Aah!
Oh, [bleep]

Kate: Since I can't banish
makani and bulent,
I self-banished myself.
I don't want to worry about
holding makani's hand
for the rest of the time.
And bulent... all he does
is sleep and snore.
Like, if you're not
doing anything
that's gonna benefit me,
I'm not gonna do anything
that's gonna benefit you.
I'd rather just go on my own.
Narrator: To reach
the nearest water source,
kate must head 4 miles southwest
across the sun-scorched valley.
Her journey will take her
through open hunting grounds
as she follows
the same game trails
as the lions and leopards.
Kate: Being alone out here,
it's not easy.
Like, africa is a very harsh
environment.
It's pretty dangerous 'cause of
all the wildlife around me.
I have to figure out
how to set up my own camp
and get everything by myself.
Like, that's a lot
for one person to do.
Just need to get to water.
♪
♪
Bulent:
Kate self-banish herself,
so I know we won't have
a headache.
You know, her problem is not
being able to work with people
and understand people.
All she brought was negativity.
And I don't take [bleep]
from people like kate.
♪
Makani: I'm a buddhist.
Doing yoga and meditation
is a part of my practice.
It's my place of peace,
no matter where I go.
Bulent: What in the [bleep]
are you doing, woman?
Oh, she's doing yoga.
My partner does yoga
in the wild.
Normally, I would just
look at that person
and say, "are you done?"
but at least she's trying
to do yoga
to keep her mind straight.
You got to respect that.
As long as you keep
your mind-set positive,
you'll be alright.
And me and makani, at least
we have that understanding.
I mean, compared to kate,
she's 10 times the partner
kate can ever be.
Alright, let's go.

It is so muddy
you can't see anything.
You have no idea where they are.
♪
Whoa!
They feel you come,
and they move.
Come on. Come in here.
Oh! You scared me again.
Every time I move the stick,
they just move out of the way.
[bleep]
they're just [bleep] with me.
Ugh!
I'm done.
[bleep] the fish.
We might have to change
the strategy for this one.
Narrator: 3 miles to the south,
seth's productivity
has withered in the heat...
Suzanne: Whatever's going on
with seth,
that's a problem.
Narrator: ...And now
puts his team's success at risk.

How goes it?
I'm in rough shape right now.
You don't drink water,
you're gonna dehydrate.
Can you get more water in you?

[ sips ]
[ retches ]
[ sighs ]
I would like to try fishing.
Do you think you can help?
Need to cool off.
Suzanne: I am very concerned
that we have
all these tasks to do
that he's not able to help.
But I don't want
to just banish seth,
because then I'm alone.
And being alone in africa
is exceedingly difficult.
♪
Just gonna set this up.
Okay.
Let me just get back
and check on seth.
Being in this water right now
is very refreshing.
This is the most comfortable
spot in south africa.
It's nice. It's worth a try.
Suzanne: Well, I would,
but I just hate
having the leeches up in me.
My body parts
are different, you know?
The last thing I want is that.
♪
Suzanne: I hope that seth has
cooled down his body
well enough.
Ugh! [bleep]
I'm gonna try to help him
not overexert
and not do too much.
But I do want this to be
a partnership
and not just me
taking care of seth.
[ sighs ]
suzanne? What?
I'm covered in leeches.
Oh, man.
[ groans ]
narrator: Many of
africa's muddy water holes
are home to legions
of tiny freshwater leeches,
which grow to only
30 millimeters in size,
but can burrow
under the skin of its host,
introducing serious infection
into the bloodstream.
I'm gonna need you to check
my back and stuff for me,
if you would, please. Okay.
Here, hold still.
Turn your...
Just turn your head.
There you go. Hold still.
Well, don't put...
You're in my eyesight with that.
Sorry.
Okay, can you look up?
Look up for me.
A little bit this other side.
Oh! Okay.
You really didn't have
that many on you.
Suzanne: I am in a tough
situation right now.
I'm a survivalist,
and I'm doing a really
difficult challenge,
and my partner has caused me
to slip into the mom role.
Water? [ groans ]
no, you don't want water?
Mm-hmm.
No, you don't want water?

Algae is life.
Don't know if I want to be
too close to the water, though.
I'm still in africa,
so animals can come
from all directions.
So I do want to...
I guess,
go to a high point up there

This is a graveyard, right here.
Something very big died there,

Bones mean there's hungry lions

I definitely need a boma.
Check out this tree.

Because I am alone, that means
a little bit more work,

and he's hanging out
in a tree somewhere.
I got feathers all over
the freakin' place
where I hit this thing...
Tons of feathers.
Tons of them.
He exploded feathers
and flew away.
When you miss a shot and now
not only you don't eat,
but your partner doesn't eat,
oh, it is absolutely
heartbreaking.

Gwen: That's frustrating.
Yeah, 'cause we would've been
freaking eating tonight.
Like, meat. Yeah.
Poultry.
It's very demotivating to shoot
and shoot and miss.

if we don't get a kill
rather soon,
we're not gonna last
too much longer here.
An elephant right there. Where?
There, in the trees.
And there's another one

We have the crocodiles
literally right down there.
That's some really intense
predatory action
going on over there.
I want to walk over here. I know
there's no crocs right here,
where those rocks are.
It's real shallow.
Because of the croc situation,
it really makes me nervous
even going near the water.
But we are very hungry out here.
Look at this.
Clams.
They're just barely buried.

[ sighs ]
how's your stomach feeling?
The fact that we haven't eaten
definitely starting to hit me.
Because of the heat,
I'm getting dizzy
when I'm walking.
[ sighs ]
while we still have
a little bit of energy,
we need to use it to get
something that's gonna
give us more energy.
We have to get
some kind of a fish.
I just don't want to eat meat,
considering
I haven't had meat
in like 14 years.
You're gonna have to do
things in life
that you don't like. I know.
I've never, ever wanted
fish before.
But, you know, the leaves
don't seem to be working.
I was planning to be vegan
for this challenge.
It's like a spiritual
thing for me,
and just respect of life.
But I realize that this isn't
feasible long-term.
This is an extraordinary
situation.
And the leaves don't provide
as much energy as I need
to survive.
And I want to give myself
the best shot.
So, need to catch a fish
sooner than later.
We're gonna have to find
some kind of meat...
Okay... For these damn fish.
Alright.
We have two fishing hooks,
but so far,
we have no viable bait
for the catfish.
Bait, bait, bait.
I haven't even seen one snail.
Bulent: If we catch something
that we can use as a bait,
that'll be great.
If not, we're gonna have to
get creative
to find a way to catch a fish.
And if we can find live meat,
that'd be better.
You can always volunteer
to sacrifice your pinkie
for the team.
Mnh-mnh.
Or, like, a pinkie toe.
No, thank you. Okay.
It's getting frustrating.
You know you have a food source,
and somehow you can't get it.
Makani:
What about noodling then?
Say what?
Noodling.
Like, putting your arm out
so they try and take it.
You [bleep] serious?
You have no idea where they are.
Might work.
Whatever you want to do,
that's your freaking deal.
I got to lay down.
I'm getting dizzy.
I don't know
if it's dehydration.
I just don't got no energy.
You can stay.
Alright. Got this.
I'm gonna try noodling,
using my fingers as bait,
and hoping the fish will
go for it.
I can just, like,
pull a fish out of there.
I have never
been noodling before.
I hear some people in the south
do it for fun,
which blows my mind.
[ insect buzzing ] aah!
I think, honestly,
the main problem
that I'm facing
is that I'm afraid of catfish.
