00:00there's no doubt that 21st century man has come a long way from our hunter-gatherer origins
00:12come on it's Ryan here calling today to book the annual service on the boiler in Britain today we
00:18take food shelter and warmth for granted come a cappuccino please and most of us consume rather
00:26than create I want to find out what happens if you strip man of all the luxuries and the conveniences
00:33of modern living and then force them to fight for their very existence 13 ordinary British men have
00:45been abandoned on a remote uninhabited Pacific Island with just a close to stand up in and a
00:51few basic tools these guys are gonna be completely alone filming everything themselves I'll pass the
01:04camera up to you just seems like it's jungle forever when pushed to the extreme does modern
01:10man have what it takes to survive and this place will take you down this isn't about talk this is
01:21about action genuinely it will take these guys to the edge I really believe that deep within us all
01:43we still have that survival spirit and instinct to overcome even the toughest of odds two days ago
01:51I abandoned 13 men on the island to fend for themselves from here on in you're totally on your
01:58own with only the closest end up in three knives three machines and a few basic tools we've landed in
02:05the middle of an alien movie three of the men are trained cameraman but they will be living under exactly
02:11the same conditions as everyone else mate it's the beach so far they've established their beachside
02:19camp I just can't see myself here to sleep here made fire oh my god and sterilized stagnant water to
02:27drink looks like piss tastes a lot worse scorpion but they've hardly eaten a thing reality is they're
02:35getting weaker by the minute and if they don't find food soon what is a hard situation it's going to
02:41become an awful lot worse
02:43good morning this is Tony Fletcher here we are it's a bit like a war zone
03:02bodies all over the place here we have Ryan stirring morning Ryan how's your sleep
03:13what is sleep let me tell you about the culverts here there is none whatsoever sleeping in the sand
03:24gets in every orifice
03:27fucking covered mate
03:34so make no illusion folks this isn't a set put up by channel 4 this is bloody real
03:44do you know the next time I gently complain to my PA about booking me into a three-star hotel instead of a four-star hotel I just want
03:54somebody to punch me in the face I'm properly hungry oh yeah I've got a knob right there I get
04:01little pangs every now and again I thought that's because I needed a dump but it wasn't a hunger pang
04:05because you need a poo since being abandoned here the men have found almost nothing to eat I want to
04:11eat something yeah my big fat fry up would be epic wouldn't it stay three and I'm starting to
04:17fantasize about food already that's outside and yeah it is now that side the average man needs two and a
04:22half thousand calories a day energy levels are dropping I would eat a scabby horse in between two
04:30piss-soaked mattresses in the moment right sounds about nice yeah have you got that image yeah that's
04:36how hungry I am the problem with extreme hunger is your metabolic rate then drops and your performance
04:43drops and your decision-making ability drops and you need both of those things to hunt effectively
04:48you've got to be able to move you've got to be able to think smart and it can easily become this
04:53downward cycle the hungrier you get the less effective for hunting you get
05:00I think I think it's started to kind of kick into people just quite how hard this is going to
05:06be the uh hunger pains are starting we got to keep going get through these first few days and get what
05:12we need to kind of then make life comfortable otherwise it's going to be like this the whole time
05:16I've ensured the island has enough food and water to keep them alive but only if they have the
05:26ingenuity to find it catch it and kill it which is no easy task the islands interior is covered in dense
05:36jungle and mangrove swamp which is full of poisonous plants and potentially deadly wildlife we've got to
05:45start using our eyes and our ears and you know just figure out what this place has got to give us
05:51if the men can't find a safe source of food quickly they won't have the energy to hunt and they won't survive
06:08oh man what are you trying to look for right limpets limpets for the guys careful wish I brought my shoes oh fuck where we going dude tell the people where we're going
06:23we're going to get very hungry very soon yeah yeah which is why I'm trying to catch something now
06:27I've got my bait here the live hermit crab let me zoom in on that let me come in
06:32there we go fish yeah that's a fish he knows what's coming that's why he's trying to get out
06:37none of these men have any previous experience of surviving in the wild
06:43it can be a bit slippy with only three machetes three knives and whatever debris they can scavenge for
06:54the beach they're having to improvise okay so I've made this four-pronged spear
06:59give to give bigger area for spearfishing hopefully I'm just blackening the tips in
07:05the fire to try to dry them out and harden them we have found some string we've tied it to a little
07:13bit of a stick that's got a bit of flex in it yeah and then we've fabricated a hook from a coke can
07:19yeah yeah well that's a good hook thank you very much it's time to kill mr. hermit crab
07:27sorry mate this is pretty much a shot in the dark but we'll see
07:32and there goes my fucking bait nah that was a massive waste of time oh here we go
07:45I've got oh what did you pull that bit of rock out
07:49oh what are they
07:56little snails nice
07:5910 of these each 10 snails each but they're just they're not enough are they
08:03show us that one
08:05well it's tiny it's not gonna well exactly it's not worth the energy of picking it out
08:09no you think about it how many calories we burn coming here yeah more than a couple of wrinkles
08:19yeah nothing desolate what do you think to the fishing so far first
08:27marty's been dangling out me rather than fishing
08:29you don't want much just take the hunger away
08:40it's absolutely beautiful here but the beauty is taken away when you're trying to find food
08:46and it's harder than a fool the fucking pelicans need to be more than i do
08:50and it's harder than a fool i think to be more than a fool i think to be more than a fool
08:59good find by toffee proud of myself now hey let's go eat boys
09:09gentlemen i present to you breakfast right
09:13great craig hopes a group of fish he found can make a tasty lunch for the men
09:20still wet it's not been dead long but you can see it's dried up quite a bit and
09:28well bad it smells good for bait it smells rank not a chance i'm eating that i mean
09:32now sorry mate let's keep that well out yeah well out of the camera you want that stinks
09:36i think i'm hallucinating i'm so hungry we've gone out and looked for things and we haven't found any
09:53but i haven't given up hope in a last ditch attempt to catch some supper before nightfall
09:59saki and joe have their sights set on another prey
10:02i think if he goes for them yeah they'll come over here and then i can go for them okay yeah
10:11i can see with the helicon right now
10:16bullets
10:21shit
10:21come on get a stick quick get a spear
10:29saki spotted a stingray in the shallows keep eyes on it keep eyes on it keep eyes on it
10:36if they catch it it could feed all 13 men but these fish can be deadly
10:43stingrays have these long tails them with these pointed barbs on the stinger this has got toxins in it
10:50if you get one of these near your heart it can kill you
10:55that one has a really long really long sting isn't it that's a long thing
11:00despite the danger saki sam and mike are desperate enough to take it on
11:07okay okay guys guys all right he's there he's right in front of you
11:11so you're gonna put along
11:12left to your left to your left to your left punch it punch it punch it punch it
11:18it's gonna go away
11:21oh shit look i broke my
11:24i got right between his eyes but i broke the spear
11:32well that's fed everyone wouldn't it yeah
11:35this is your dinner right here but jesus having wrists alive chasing the stingray
11:45the only reward for the hunters is a couple of snails each
11:48i'm hungry yeah i'm very very a bit weak it's absolutely gutted it's absolutely gutted
12:02i don't just don't know what else to do really because we can't find any bloody food
12:18i think part of the problem is no one can really tell everybody what the right thing to do is
12:23because i don't think anybody really really knows what that is
12:45look like you've lost more weight sammy hmm look like you've lost a little bit more weight mate
12:49probably after almost a week the men have had precious little to eat
12:55beyond a scorpion and a handful of snails
13:00yeah i have no idea where the next meal's coming from
13:06to the point where it hurts it hurts stringing sentences together and just trying to find the
13:11energy to do things is it's known impossible
13:14i think gosh we've got another 25 days of this
13:21all present and correct stand at these guys stand up no sitting down you pay more attention
13:27when you stood up after yesterday's failure to find a decent meal 70 year old ex-policeman tony
13:33wants a group to try a more organized approach the main things are three machetes
13:39three knives all sharpened that's dealing with our tools one thing i've noticed
13:47this is a direct correlation between the age of a guy and he might have faffing about he'd have to do
13:53repeat after me
13:55machete and knives return to the quartermaster great guys thank you we just wanted to get going and
14:03search and find something useful and we had to sit and wait and talk and talk and talk i know you've
14:10got a plan but it's ridiculous let's go get some more get some dinner for the guys yesterday the men
14:18found little food close to their camp so now they're planning to search further afield reporting
14:23for duty grandpa tony carry on great hook the island has eight kilometers of coast with five
14:31beaches today the men are going to explore the shoreline to the north and south of their camp
14:38but they'll have to keep their wits about them they're sharing the island with some dangerous foes
14:43the caiman crocodile is the ultimate prehistoric predator their mouths are lined with basically
14:52razor sharp teeth and they can bite with about 3 000 pounds per square inch that's three times as
14:58powerful as a hyena or a lion more dangerous than any snake scorpion or crocodile is this fella
15:07the death apple and this is enough to kill not one man but 20 and when you're surviving on an island
15:15you're hungry you see what you think is edible fruit so tempting to pick it up eat it end game
15:22well it's getting really hot now it's just thick thick dense forest everywhere
15:36nothing i can't see anything if we want something to eat food may be scarce but the island does have
15:42bounty of a different kind look about guys because this is a huge resource dental hygiene sorted
15:52crops the beaches here are littered with waste that's been dumped in the sea and carried here on
16:00the tide plastic bottles everywhere oh look at this we found a fishing net oh yeah brilliant these old
16:08nets washed up on the beach could open up the oceans to the men as a source of food good fine as they
16:15say give a man a fish and eats for a day give a man a ton of fishing net and he can have a crack of
16:21fishing
16:25gentlemen
16:28further down the beach there's more good news 28 year old saki may have found the lifeline
16:34the men so desperately need there's coconut can't hear anything both of the fucking brim
16:42found a way of getting coconuts down by uh just finishing it off it's worked a bit but it's splitting
16:46look at that what could possibly go wrong there some coconuts up there
16:50but that's a bit of an ask to get up
16:56yeah mate that's ingenious oh
17:00the coconut saw mark one oh hello what's this it's good for the dead file
17:06if it works rupert you might need oh yeah sorry safety hat
17:11look it's just made
17:14whoa whoa
17:15two
17:17well should we have a celebratory coconut i'd love one
17:19sweet and satisfying so good coconut is incredible there is a definitely a reason that they call it the tree of life
17:32it's like suckling from the teeth again
17:38i never did it i can't remember that i felt that i'm afraid you've never done it
17:43what i can't on a nipple no tried human breast milk
17:47um no no i can i can honestly no never
17:51but it's not nice apart from coconuts there are really very few other fruits on the island that
17:59these guys recognize and even though coconuts are a good source of energy and fluids if it's all you
18:05have after about three days it's going to start to give you diarrhea and then that's just going to
18:09dehydrate you further
18:13there's only so many coconuts on this island there's absolutely not enough for three a day for
18:17all of us who are staying yeah so we can't just go oh we'll drink them and drink them and throw them
18:24the coconuts have given the men a much needed boost but if they're going to survive here beyond a week
18:29they're going to need protein-rich food and fast
18:35i'm feeling the hunger pangs just to have like a form of meat in your belly is going to be immense
18:42not even meat just real like proper food as opposed to little bite size mouthfuls of coconut
18:49nah can you just put a drop of water in there for me please
18:53the men may not have enough food but they do at least now have the means to brush their teeth
18:59dental business coach chris has even improvised some toothpaste
19:04what the f i brush my teeth with charcoal no one's going to kiss me after this let's do this
19:12oh my god it tastes like egg
19:22i feel so much better already
19:25gives a smile dino oh honey hello honey this is horrible
19:33the men's goal for the afternoon is to put to use their newly found fishing nets
19:38is can you see i'm threading it through supervised by keen fisherman mike and then what we're going to
19:44do is tie floats to here i'm desperately desperately want to catch your food yeah yeah desperately you
19:51know i'm running on empty and uh it's it's it's hurting now yeah yeah yeah so um but i think i've
19:56just just just a few big fish yeah oh mate mate yeah just awesome for everybody good luck
20:06this 30-foot net is the best hope the men have had so far to catch themselves a vital protein-rich meal
20:14yeah keep this one up let's drop the drop the bottom one that's it head sideways now yeah you
20:20just keep it that's that needs to be dragging on the bottom as much as possible
20:35with the net set the men's attention turns elsewhere has anyone had a wank since being here
20:40no energy no time no time no time it's always time for a wank yeah what are you doing maybe
20:49really maybe in the rocks a couple of days ago a rock wank rock wank it's quite nice actually
20:57sitting in the bay watching the tree watching this yeah you did this yeah that's what i did
21:02mate i've got a sex drive of a fucking animal you actually had a wank yeah i've had a wank
21:09what i've found on them rocks over there no where i had a shit yeah only once
21:13it's probably where you had a shit right it's probably where you won't have had a shit i'll
21:16just bang one out mind me not to go around there again yeah
21:20how are you doing boys it's now two hours since mike and the men set the nets
21:34right this is when it all gets tricky come together come together all the men's hopes
21:38for food today are pinned on a decent catch do you want another pair of hands just a gentle
21:45okay i certainly hope they've got 13 big fish as a minimum one for each guy
21:56cock
21:59well that was shit wasn't it yeah
22:04really disappointing no fish i thought we really had something going but the fishing net
22:10well gave us nothing at all i'm good at talking about fishing but i've never put a net out to sea in my
22:17life yet as the so-called fish fisherman i feel responsible after an empty haul the men face yet
22:27another long night with empty stomachs lamb shank with the mint sauce bread and butter pudding to finish
22:33you know crumpets i love crumpets yeah loads of butter on crumpets and they just melt and the butter
22:38oh so good i'm mad i can't hack it i want to eat something oh my god i've never been so hungry in
22:49all my whole life just something in my mind then just click that's it i'm starving
22:53fuck i don't know what i'm gonna do oh man as soon as i get home chocolate spread peanut butter and toast
23:06and crackers and soft cheese and marmite cheese and crisps tortillas fajitas fried chicken

23:27man oh fuck
23:35i can't wait to get off this fucking island seriously i can't fucking wait
23:49i'm gonna get one of those bastards it takes me all the fucking months
23:56look at them they've got a rock we can chuck at them
24:01after a few days with barely anything to eat the men are now getting desperate
24:08give me a start i'm gonna chuck at them no i'm gonna kill one dean wait be stealthy
24:19chuck it chuck it
24:32what was that
24:34bastards
24:40i fucked it up again
24:41back then i slipped as i threw it i think i broke my hand
24:49really
24:5421 year old ryan lives in stockport with his mum and sister
25:00going to the island will be the first time i've lived anywhere else other than other than stockport
25:06um i'm excited to see a different type of life and i think it could make a man of me
25:13i did walk really far once with no shoes on and that was very challenging
25:18i'll be honest i punched the sand
25:19oh no it was a lot harder than i was expecting oh no i'm gonna do that it looks like it's down here
25:26doesn't it dr sam confirms ryan's suspicions of a broken knuckle
25:31so this is called a boxer's fracture don't punch the sand again yeah
25:35i'm just so annoyed with myself because
25:38were you annoyed with the sand as well i was annoyed with myself
25:41so you punched the sand yeah
25:44well i don't want to punch myself in a survival situation no idea that's the last thing you want to do
25:52after a broken hand and another missed meal i just want food the consequences of the men's
25:58failures are becoming more and more apparent
26:02some of the lads just seem to be wasting away in front of me i don't know if other people are noticing it
26:06and i'm not going to mention any names some of the lads that don't have much to lose they're getting really thin
26:20we're 13 strapping blokes we're going to need a feed and um at the moment wondering where that's
26:28going to come from so i think we're going to have to you know man up get those machetes out
26:33uh head inland and just answer the question that really is troubling us all at the moment which
26:39is where is the real food the next few days will be critical as the men use their last reserves of
26:48energy to try and hunt down the island's meatiest prey so we're going to head down to the mangroves
26:53and see if we can see a caiman i just saw massive iguana head up land that way
27:03i'm up for whatever it takes to find this food oh i know
27:18this is our first night excursion we're going to new territory
27:24there's some funky noises out there tonight
27:26uh payments you can see some no but i'm sure we will
27:40where are they
27:44these look like limes there's more all right fingers crossed or a good old harvest of fish
27:50Yes. Feeling just shite. Failure after failure.
27:57Oh, you guys look knackered. No caimans?
28:02No.
28:03With nothing to show for days of energy sapping hunting, the men are on the brink.
28:11Food is a lot scarcer than we had anticipated.
28:15That's going to slightly test our spirits, but then we always knew it wasn't going to be holiday.
28:20You know, we're not asking for the moon on a stick, we're just asking for a fish each, or half a fish each.
28:26You know, that's all we need.
28:28It's been bloody tough for me. It's been really hard.
28:32No energy whatsoever.
28:35Even entered my mind about leaving the island.
28:41So far, every attempt the men have made to catch fish with their nets has ended in failure.
28:47You think our luck's changed?
28:49Today?
28:50Yeah.
28:50Time will tell, mate.
28:53I know in about ten minutes, but it desperately helps now, mate.
28:57This time, to improve their chances of a catch, they've left the nets out all night.
29:04Wow.
29:05Did it get away, lads?
29:06Oh, that's a big one.
29:07Yeah, I've got a net pull, mate.
29:09You're joking.
29:10Pull them out, pull them out.
29:12Look at that.
29:13Oh, wow.
29:15Woo!
29:16Look at these leg lights.
29:17Whoa!
29:17Whoa!
29:20Nice!
29:20Team Gilded.
29:24There you are.
29:24Shit.
29:25Beauty little catfish.
29:27Oh, nice.
29:27Look at that.
29:28Plenty on him.
29:29He'll be that.
29:30I'm going to have a full belly to now on fish.
29:39That's cheering everybody up, hasn't it?
29:40Yay!
29:41Oh, wow.
29:42It's a bad sight, isn't it?
29:44Oh, yeah, yeah.
29:45Oh, that's beautiful fish.
29:46Absolutely beautiful fish.
29:47We're going to be eating fish for dinner tonight.
29:51Flipping great.
29:51I'm so relieved.
29:53So relieved.
29:55I'm so relieved.
29:57The mood of the camp has just lifted.
30:03Two of the group's youngest members, Dean and Ryan, are given the honours of gutting the
30:08fish.
30:08This is different to cutting someone's hair.
30:10Have you got in there, yeah?
30:11Shove it in and saw it through.
30:15Doing it for the team.
30:16That's it.
30:16That's it.
30:17Yeah, that's it.
30:18Yep.
30:18Grab it.
30:19Oh!
30:19That's it.
30:19We've salted it, a little bit of lemon juice on it, a nice salted lemon juice on there.
30:30We're going to wrap them up.
30:32As the men eagerly await their fish supper, thoughts turn to home.
30:38I'm craving titties, man.
30:40I miss them so much.
30:42I like little small titties.
30:44Short, sometimes elfin-like, and quite androgynous.
30:49Just tiny tits.
30:51I worry about you even more.
30:54Are you sure you're not in the closet?
30:56I like petite girls with big boobs.
31:00I like big, big bush.
31:02What?
31:03Oh, not bad.
31:03Great, great big 80s bush.
31:06Oh, retro.
31:07Not going down the legs, but shy of that, as big as possible.
31:11I think it's nice to know that you only sit with a mammal, that's all.
31:14Like it's not, and an adult mammal.
31:17Anyway, I should be careful what I'm saying.
31:18I don't know how I like hairy minges.
31:21After days of desperation and hunger, the men can finally eat.
31:26Oh, hello.
31:27This is the fish, parcels up, expertly by Fletch.
31:32Just take them up.
31:33That looks nice.
31:34That looks the part, mate.
31:36Just a wee bit.
31:36Oh.
31:41That's a really weird texture.
31:42It just disappears into a kind of mush, doesn't it?
31:44Oh.
31:44Ugh.
31:45Ugh.
31:46That was possibly the worst fish I've ever tasted in my life.
31:49It doesn't taste right for some reason.
31:51It's because we didn't drop the guts out quick enough.
31:55Oh, man.
31:56Left dead in the nets for too long, the fish have started to decompose, and the long-awaited
32:02supper is inedible.
32:04So disappointing.
32:05Gutted.
32:06Tastes like poo.
32:08It's a poo fish.
32:09I think you hit the nail on the head there.
32:11It does taste like poo.
32:12This place looks like paradise.
32:22It's actually a bitch.
32:24It really is.
32:26Jesus God, when I signed up for this, I knew it was going to be hard, but I didn't realise
32:31it was going to be this hard.
32:32Thank you very much.
32:36Thanks so much, Bob.
32:37There's a slow acceptance that we've got a long way to go yet, and it's all uphill.
32:47The reality of island life is biting.
32:51You know, it's easy to be positive and upbeat and enthusiastic when you've got lots of energy,
32:55but when you're sapped of it and you're experiencing failures, it becomes a kind of spiralling downward
33:00circle of lack of food, lack of morale, lack of energy.
33:07Come on, nature, give us some food.
33:10This morning, Rupert and Saki are heading to the mangroves, where they set one of the
33:14group's nets.
33:17We definitely crossed here.
33:18We went that way.
33:20Yeah.
33:20If they don't find food today, their time on the island may well be over.
33:25This is the second riverbed.
33:27So this is where we were.
33:30When the tide's in, these mangroves are teeming with life.
33:34The Tangela roots are a breeding ground for many animals, like reef fish, turtles and the
33:40caiman crocodile.
33:42The tide's out, isn't it?
33:43Yeah, there's no water here today.
33:45Yeah.
33:46Nada.
33:47I wouldn't call it riddled with fish.
33:50All right, let's get the net out.
33:54Right down in.
33:55Something happened here last night.
33:59Something fucked the net.
34:00No, it snapped, yeah.
34:02This is so fucking Caymanville.
34:07This is where a caiman has a serious advantage to just skitter across the top.
34:15Lives to fight another day.
34:17Rupert and Saki must return to camp with nothing but a broken net.
34:21Let's go.
34:28This ground is so treacherous.
34:31Oh.
34:32They're coming like that.
34:38Holy shit.
34:41Holy shit the bed, man.
34:43He's watching us.
34:45Mate, he was so, he was right next to us.
34:47He was.
34:49Fucking hell.
34:50Oh, shh.
34:51Sorry.
34:51This is what we're talking about.
34:53That's a big one.
34:54That's been it for days, mate.
34:55Oh.
34:56I got this.
34:57No, no, get the string or make a noose, make a noose.
35:00A few days ago, Saki and Rupert couldn't have imagined they'd be confronting one of nature's
35:05most fearsome predators.
35:06I'm going to take that motherfucker down.
35:09Armed with just a piece of string.
35:11Hello, mate.
35:12You're going in my belly tonight.
35:13You need to hurry because you've got to start warming up.
35:15Yeah.
35:16No, no.
35:16I'm doing this one as quick as I can.
35:18Mate, he's growling.
35:24Yeah, he knows, he knows, he knows.
35:26Just get it on both of them, man.
35:28If you can get it on when it's closed.
35:30That's it, that's it, that's it.
35:32Oh, no, no, get both.
35:33Get both closed.
35:34It's all right.
35:34You've got him.
35:34You've got him.
35:35You've got him.
35:37Got him.
35:37Well done, well done.
35:39You got him.
35:40He's five feet, almost.
35:43I hope the cord holds because he's looking at me in a way that is not, let's be buddies.
35:48These came with crocodiles and grow up to about 15 foot in length, but even small ones, you
35:56know, they're just a bag of powerhouse and muscle.
36:00And what they do, if they get hold of you, their instinct is immediately to roll.
36:04They call it a death roll.
36:06And if it's a small one, it will literally rip chunks of flesh out of you.
36:09And if it's a big one, take whole limbs off in that roll.
36:15All right, we've got it.
36:17Jesus.
36:18Jesus Christ.
36:19Oh, my God, he just whipped that up.
36:21See what that'll do to your leg.
36:24That, if that one's open for a second, and he just smashed that to eat the bitch.
36:31This guy pulls like a bitch.
36:33Oh, he's death rolling now.
36:34He's death rolling, yeah, yeah.
36:35Come on, get him out, get him out, get him out, get him out.
36:37Okay, keep him there, keep him there.
36:38Stop, stop, stop, stop.
36:39Stop, stop, that's good, that's good.
36:40All right, I'm going to try and get the bottom draw.
36:44Before being abandoned, the men only had one day's survival training,
36:48which included a basic technique for animal trapping.
36:54Yeah, you see, now we can't roll.
36:56Okay, now drag him out into the open.
36:59Hold on, hold on, let me get a good grip.
37:02Let him roll, let him roll, let him roll, let him roll.
37:04Well done, let me get a good grip.
37:05Drag him out into this open.
37:06Hang on, he's got his leg behind that tree.
37:08Perfect, perfect.
37:09Hang on, hang on.
37:10Here we go.
37:11Here's the shade, because then he can't.
37:14Yeah.
37:14Well done.
37:15All right.
37:16We've got him in the shade.
37:16You got him?
37:17Do you want to take both?
37:18Yeah, yeah.
37:19He's going to watch you.
37:23Yeah, you've got him.
37:24Hang on, hang on.
37:25Hang on, hang on.
37:27You've got him, you've got him, you've got him.
37:29You've got him, you've got him, mate.
37:31You've got him.
37:33Hand on the, hand on the, hand over the eyes, over the jaw.
37:37Push it right, that's it, just hold it together, that's it.
37:39That's it.
37:40And then loop it, you've got him.
37:42Ah, yes, mate.
37:43You've got him.
37:44That's what you call teamwork.
37:46Well done.
37:46Well done.
37:48Well, we've got to get him home still.
37:49No, mate.
37:50Saki and Rupert will take the Cayman crocodile back to camp,
37:54where they'll decide who will kill it.
37:58I mean, I hate killing things, I really do, but...
38:00But we need to eat, mate.
38:01We are hungry.
38:02So this is kind of bittersweet.
38:04There's an incredible elation of having jumped on the back of a Cayman,
38:07knocked it to the ground, and caught it,
38:10and the whole little hunt and all that stuff was just fucking exciting.
38:13But I also feel bad that we're going to stick a knife in this guy's head
38:17and eat him, but it's the way of the world.
38:20I think he's lost the fight for now, but I know, he's moving.
38:23Because we don't want to kill these things,
38:25but at the same time, we don't have anything.
38:27We have no food.
38:29We've got empty nets, as far as we know.
38:32And this will feed all of us.
38:34It takes you back to nature, being out here.
38:37You've got to eat, no matter what you think about.
38:39Slowly but surely, the inner savage is revealing itself.
38:42Guys, we're done.
38:44Sorry, mate.
38:44Because I was like...
38:45This is the one time that I wish I had my phone with me
38:48to take a picture and be like,
38:49Look at what we've got.
38:50We've got...
38:52Yeah.
38:53Boom.
38:53Look at that.
38:54Bumpty.
38:56This is nuts.
38:57This is absolutely fucking nuts.
38:59Come on in.
39:14Get him out, stay.
39:15Get him out, get him out, get him out.
39:16You've got to be, mate.
39:17Yes.
39:17You've got to be, mate.
39:18After days of fruitless searching,
39:21Rupert and Saki have caught a Cayman crocodile in the mangroves
39:24on the far side of the island.
39:27We've evolved to run away from these things.
39:29Yeah.
39:29The fear that kind of stirs in you.
39:31This is the primal need to get out of the way.
39:33Yeah, it is.
39:33Oh, hello.
39:36That is a fucking Cayman.
39:38Yeah, they're punching the air.
39:39Yes, shut up.
39:39They've got to fucking Cayman.
39:41Shut up.
39:42Come on, let's go to me.
39:43Ha, ha, here they come.
39:45They're running.
39:46Oh, my God.
39:47Oh, my days.
39:52Tonight we feast like kings.
39:54Yeah.
39:55What a beauty.
39:57That's a big fucker.
39:58Still alive.
39:59We haven't butchered him yet.
40:00Yeah.
40:01Mate, congratulations.
40:02Yes, buddy.
40:04What happened?
40:07Mate.
40:08Rupert jumped on his back.
40:09Did ya?
40:10We got two ropes on him.
40:12Yeah.
40:12And then held him, pulled him out.
40:13He's a kicker.
40:13We had to pull him out.
40:14And, mate, he ripped his branch open.
40:15He went for a branch.
40:16And just.
40:16Like the size of your arm.
40:17Yeah, mate.
40:17Just took it out.
40:19You absolute legends.
40:21Here.
40:22Wow.
40:23Yeah, mate.
40:24Wow.
40:27Well done, lads.
40:28All right, lads.
40:29Well done.
40:29Well done.
40:30Mate.
40:32Back in camp, the hunters show their catch-off to the rest of the group.
40:37Cheers, gentlemen.
40:38Tonight we shall feast.
40:39That's right, boys.
40:40And maybe even breakfast as well.
40:42Look at the meat on that.
40:43That's amazing, guys.
40:44Thank you, gentlemen.
40:47So we'll all get a gait over if we're done.
40:51Good, anyway.
40:52Yeah, well done, fellas.
40:53I want to catch a crocodile.
40:55That's my main goal for the island, but probably not going to happen.
40:59No, you can't do it by yourself.
41:01No.
41:01No way.
41:02We're both a little jittery.
41:03The thing is about it being strong is you're fighting for dinner.
41:07That's fighting for its life.
41:08Yeah.
41:08Yeah.
41:08The men must now decide who's best suited to kill the croc.
41:13Dan knows what to do, I think, with that sort of stuff.
41:15Oh, yeah, but Dan said Joe should do it.
41:17Should kill it?
41:18Yeah.
41:19He said Joe should do it because Joe's like the animal expert.
41:21I want to be here when that happens.
41:24A beer?
41:24I want to be here when that happens.
41:26I want to be here when that happens.
41:27You all know that.
41:27He's in it.
41:28Hooray!
41:29They've nominated 23-year-old Joe, who's lived on a farm all his life.
41:34Have you butchered stuff before?
41:35I've been wicked.
41:36He wants to say yes.
41:39He still doesn't.
41:40Yeah, he does.
41:41I've done a little bit in the past.
41:44Yeah.
41:45True.
41:46How do you feel about killing this animal?
41:48I'm nervous, too honest.
41:49Yeah.
41:49Very worried.
41:51Mate, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
41:52No, well.
41:53So if you don't want to, I'll do it, mate, if there's any issues.
41:56So there's a spot.
41:58See the back of the skull?
41:59Yeah.
41:59So you've got to get in there and just on the hill and just jam it in straight into the brain.
42:04Put all your weight on him, because he will kick.
42:10Ready?
42:10Yeah.
42:13That's it.
42:13That's it.
42:14You've got him.
42:14You've got him.
42:15Yeah, I think he's dead.
42:16He's dead, mate.
42:17He's dead.
42:18Stop.
42:18Nah, he's gone.
42:19Yeah, he's gone.
42:20See?
42:20Quick and painless.
42:22Good job.
42:22Well done, pal.
42:25It'll twitch for approximately two hours after it's dead.
42:29That's just muscle tissue.
42:31That's me and you.
42:32We all will.
42:34How are you with that, Ryan?
42:37You all right?
42:38It was done very, very humane.
42:41Yeah.
42:41I think as a society we've become so sanitized about, you know, food and we're so used to
42:57going to a supermarket and you pull something off the shelf and, you know, it's meat and
43:00you might not even know what sort of meat it is.
43:02It's nicely pre-packaged and you take it home and you never think about where it's come from,
43:06that an animal has been slaughtered to feed you.
43:09I thought I valued our life like the same, like anything from a scorpion to a human being,
43:18but seeing that and understanding it just set me over the edge a bit.
43:22I mean, it's the first time any of us have seen that, so.
43:27I know, it's just affecting me that's all.
43:28No, totally, it's affecting me as well.
43:30I don't believe it's done the most human way possible and everything, but.
43:32Yeah, it's still one of these weird things.
43:38I don't know why, it's doing the same, it did the same thing to me.
43:40Yeah, I don't know why.
43:48I even caught the damn thing, so I don't know why.
43:52I don't know.
43:53I feel sorry for the little bastards, you know what I mean?
43:56Yeah.
44:02Mate, that is just oodles of pure, beautiful meat.
44:22Jesus, look at that.
44:23Oh, no.
44:24Just pure, pure meat, mate.
44:25He's done us proud, that came in.
44:32Hans Monsaki has the honour of beginning the feast.
44:40About to have the first taste of the cayman.
44:43It smells like heaven.
44:45Wow, look at that.
44:48Golden brown and white underneath.
44:50Wow.
44:55Is it good?
44:57What's it like?
44:57What's it like?
44:58It's fucking beautiful.
45:00Mate, this is amazing.
45:02Oh, it's so meaty.
45:10Oh, man.
45:11Mate, it tastes like a kebab.
45:14Good kebab or bad kebab?
45:15Like a good kebab.
45:16Like a chicken shish.
45:18My body's just saying, thank you, thank you.
45:20Yeah.
45:21I think everyone's been flaking a bit today, but that is just in time, really.
45:25Tonight, for the first time, we're a tribe.
45:28Not a bunch of guys who have been chucked on an island.
45:31We're actually a tribe today.
45:32Everybody's done the bit.
45:34Everybody's had a...
45:34Oh, my God.
45:35Everybody's had a corner.
45:37Everybody's had a job to do, and everybody's got in with a job.
45:39And we, tonight, we're a tribe.
45:44My belly's so full.
45:46It doesn't take long for the men to feel the impact of their first meat meal.
45:50Can I borrow someone's head starch, please?
45:53Are you going for poop in the sea?
45:54I'm not doing it in the sea, no.
45:56I'm going to go and dig a hole.
45:58You better go down far away from camp, because somebody's shat near the camp there, and I can smell it.
46:02Yeah, that's bad.
46:03Where?
46:03Somewhere, so whoever shits in the woods has been shitting too near the camp.
46:06Well, it wasn't me, mate.
46:07I've shat in the sea.
46:09I've had a shit on top of a Scottish mountain before.
46:12I had a shit overlooking the Grand Canyon.
46:14I had a shit in a car park.
46:15Next on the island, Tempest Flare.
46:21What the fuck are they doing?
46:23What, what, did you just fucking do a wanker side towards me?
46:26Fuck you.
46:29If they don't start looking after each other, they haven't got a cat's chance to make it to the end of this month.
46:35We failed on the soft approach.
46:37And what, what are you proposing as a hard approach?
46:39To make the lad feel like a twat.
46:41We can't help him.
46:42So we, I suppose we've just got to say our sweet goodbye.
46:46Brian?
46:47Brian!
46:50See that at the same time next week.
46:52From telekinesis to magnetism next tonight, tackling some improbable allegations head-on.
46:58Man versus weird.
46:59Coming up.
47:15What kind of the stuff that I'm saying?
47:16That's true.
47:16Come up.
47:16See that at the same time.
47:18I'll see you next week.
47:18I'll catch you next week.
47:20See that at the same time.
47:20What kind of thing is happening?
