The Island with Bear Grylls 2x12

1. - Two uninhabited Pacific Islands

2. more than 5000 miles from the UK.

3. One has been inhabited by 14 British men,

4. while a separate island was home to 14 British women.

5. They have been utterly alone.

6. - Oh, shit!

7. - With only the clothes they stand up in

8. and a handful of basic tools.

9. - Bitch it, big fella!

10. Ooh, snap it!

11. - Filming everything themselves.

12. - Shit!

13. - The women have made it off alive.

14. Tonight, it's the final installment

15. of the men's island.

16. - You lazy bunch of bone idle bastards!

17. - Survival will be harder than ever.

18. They'll have to endure the height

19. of the harsh tropical storm season.

20. - This island either wants to decompose you

21. or eat you alive.

22. - It's a scorpion, guys!

23. - They'll have to find their own water

24. and hunt for their own food.

25. With the finishing line in sight,

26. have these modern-day men got what it takes to survive?

27. - I'm gonna go to hell for this.

28. - Come on, boys!

29. - Sam!

30. Hi yo!

31. - Five weeks ago, 14 British men

32. were dropped on a remote Pacific island.

33. - Glad you were there.

34. Couldn't have got much further.

35. - They've had some success with their fishing nets.

36. - 21!

37. - But not enough to stop their physical decline.

38. - We've been here over a month now.

39. We are starting to starve.

40. - Be careful!

41. - Taking huge risks in the pursuit of food.

42. - Holy shit!

43. - Camera off!

44. - He's severed one of his tendons.

45. - The group suffered their biggest loss.

46. - He needs to be evacuated.

47. - We'll get him on board ASAP, over.

48. - As 36-year-old Will was forced to leave the island.

49. - I feel devastated that he's gone.

50. - Of all the people you wanted to finish with,

51. he was up there, weren't he?

52. - We were supposed to get strong as a team

53. and now the island's thwarted that.

54. I hate this place, I hate it.

55. - Rain again.

56. No respite for us, man.

57. Look at that thunder.

58. We're gettin' screwed.

59. Again.

60. - Fairweather islanders?

61. What's going on here?

62. - Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa!

63. I've got a flipping—

64. - It's a scorpion.

65. - Shit! - Right, don't move.

66. - Don't move, don't move.

67. - I do not want to get stung.

68. - Course you don't, right.

69. - Please be quick about it.

70. - Whoa don't get it that way.

71. - Don't cut it off there!

72. Just flick it off!

73. Flick it off!

74. - Ooooooh!

75. - Gave him a bit of a shock, yeah.

76. - Woo!

77. Ain't that the thing with this island?

78. One minute it's all calm and then boom!

79. "There's a scorpion on me leg!"

80. - I'll eat him.

81. Horrible little thing.

82. - Go on. - Take him!

83. - Yes!

84. Take him down!

85. - Well done, big fella. (men clapping)

86. - The men have been living on the island

87. for an unprecedented 36 days

88. and are now entering uncharted territory.

89. And that's why this time only the mentally strong

90. are gonna make it to the end.

91. - Living for five weeks on an extreme

92. low-calorie diet consisting mainly of fish,

93. limpets and coconuts,

94. the men have been getting weaker by the day.

95. - Pounds just keep dropping off, gentlemen.

96. - To make sure their physical decline

97. doesn't become life-threatening,

98. Dr. Piers has been monitoring their weight

99. using scales from his medical kit.

100. - Come on you wee streak of piss.

101. That puts me at just under 10 stone.

102. - My bollocks weigh more than that.

103. - Jesus.

104. - 28-inch waist.

105. - 28-inch waist?

106. - Jesus Christ.

107. - You could just buy boys' clothes when you go home now,

108. save an absolute packet.

109. - Baby Gap mate.

110. - Baby Gap!

111. - Since arriving on the island,

112. the men have shed nearly 30 stone between them.

113. - The weight loss was always gonna be dramatic

114. but I was not expecting it to be as severe as it was.

115. - Maybe just maybe

116. the storm has been kind and dropped us a fresh coconut.

117. - [Bear} Determined to halt the decline,

118. the men redouble their efforts to find food.

119. - We're gonna go and check the shit out of these nets.

120. - Good luck, fellas.

121. - Oh, my legs are just not working today.

122. - I had that yesterday just.

123. Have you worn your boots recently?

124. - No.

125. - Dude, dude. - Too heavy.

126. - Do not try putting them on, I tell you now.

127. - Pull up!

128. - It's a bit weightier than last time, isn't it?

129. - The fishing nets have been a lifeline for the men,

130. but as they get weaker,

131. taking the raft out to check them

132. has become an increasingly difficult task.

133. - Come on now, Let's have just one or two.

134. - Oh bollocks.

135. It's all snagged.

136. Ah!

137. - Ah this is getting annoying, now.

138. - Today there isn't a single fish

139. to reward Charlie and Piers for their efforts.

140. - You all right?

141. I think it's dangerous now actually

142. moving those nets in all honesty.

143. All of us are just skin and bone

144. and it's not really safe any more.

145. - Ah!

146. We've eaten almost every single coconut

147. on this whole island.

148. All the ones left are pretty much rotten.

149. - This was the last little stash I knew about.

150. We've depleted a lot of the limpet stores already really.

151. - Even the men's once reliable

152. food sources appear to be running dry.

153. - We have truly decimated the fish within

154. three meters of the boundary of this island, haven't we?

155. - 24 hours ago we were conquering this island.

156. Nets were full of fish.

157. 24 hours later, we're in tatters.

158. This could go from bad to worse very easily.

159. - Every single one of these guys

160. is gonna have mega low moments.

161. It's just the reality of being out in the wild,

162. being tired, being bitten to death, being hungry.

163. You just have those moments.

164. And one of the key lessons I've learned

165. is that the pain, the discomfort, it never lasts forever.

166. Keep your eyes on the light.

167. - Can I just show you something?

168. There's something here that you might all want to see.

169. - What is it?

170. - Come with me. - Is it worth it, Sam?

171. - Is it edible?

172. - It's good.

173. - I'm taking my knife just in case.

174. It's Bear Grylls, isn't it?

175. - And it's a hope, as well.

176. Look at this.

177. - Oh, yeah.

178. - A little baby turtle. - Oh!

179. - It's alive and it's making its way to the beach.

180. And if there's one, there's probably a few more.

181. Isn't that amazing?

182. - That's incredible.

183. - There's the others, look - There are the other ones.

184. - Oh, yeah.

185. - Can you see the two of them? - Yep.

186. - It's gorgeous, isn't it?

187. - A privilege.

188. - It's a real privilege isn't it?

189. I just noticed it.

190. I was coming back from the end of the beach

191. and I just saw this thing wriggling in the sand

192. and I thought, what's that?

193. And just to see that is absolutely amazing.

194. - They're such fighters.

195. - You can see them toasting in the sun can't you?

196. - Yeah.

197. - It's life and death for these guys,

198. do you know what I mean?

199. It's like each one of us,

200. whether it's here on this island or in life,

201. we're sort of fighting our own personal battles.

202. - Shall we help him?

203. - Come on, mate.

204. Get out of that hole.

205. Help him along.

206. - Come on, chap.

207. - There you go.

208. - And maybe I'm doing completely the wrong thing

209. and shoot me down, but if there's a chance

210. of this little dude living rather than dying,

211. I want him to live.

212. - Go on little fella. - Keep to the water.

213. God, that was one of the most

214. incredible things I have ever seen, really touching.

215. Those guys have just been born, just been hatched.

216. All they're thinking about is just surviving.

217. Getting to that water.

218. It just puts everything into perspective.

219. Such a beautiful sight.

220. - You okay? - Yeah, yeah.

221. Tired that's all.

222. - Late afternoon.

223. - The turtles have been a welcome distraction,

224. but after more than five weeks on a starvation diet

225. and no sign of their next meal, the men are in bad shape.

226. - God.

227. - I'm tired.

228. Just tired.

229. I've usually got lots of energy

230. and I like being enthusiastic about things.

231. I like doing things, but I've been so tired.

232. - I'm sort of starving and wasting away

233. and I know my body is just like, "You need fuel."

234. But there's no escaping it.

235. You're so aware that you're going downhill fast.

236. - You all right?

237. - No, he's gone I think.

238. - They're all fucking dying.

239. - On the beach, some of the baby turtles

240. are also on their last legs.

241. - They're just frying up, hot little bodies.

242. I wish they'd woken up at night.

243. Breaks my heart but either we leave these little guys

244. to rot or for the birds to pick at them

245. or we eat them and...

246. This, by any definition, is a moral dilemma.

247. - Are we definitely boiling these little buggers up, are we?

248. - What do you think?

249. - I'm not eating it.

250. - No?

251. - I think it's disgusting.

252. I think you're all inhumane if you eat them to be honest.

253. - The turtle who died on the beach,

254. there's rumors of that going in a broth and

255. either you say for ethical reasons or whatever,

256. there's no way I am drinking any of that, at all.

257. - I'm gonna go to hell for this.

258. - Despite strong feelings in the group,

259. Sam makes a decision.

260. - To eat or not eat?

261. I reckon we should eat them.

262. I think these guys are done.

263. - What are they like, ooh.

264. - Mm. - Hard boiled?

265. - It's like a hard-boiled egg.

266. - H. Christ, they're beautiful aren't they?

267. Oh, that's wrong.

268. That is so wrong.

269. I've eaten some fucked up shit in my time.

270. This takes the cake.

271. - Salud, my little turtle-y friends.

272. - Is that shell and all?

273. - Yep, every bit.

274. Raphael.

275. Michelangelo.

276. Is anyone else claiming these turtles?

277. - Go on, then.

278. Go on, don't be shy.

279. I'll have a turtle.

280. Oh my God, they're good.

281. They're absolutely stunning.

282. - Are you eating them or not eating them?

283. - I am not eating them, mate.

284. - Oh right, okay.

285. - Weird how you can feel nothing for a snake or an iguana

286. and a baby turtle that's died anyway, it's weird.

287. Difficult to eat, but I stuffed 'em down.

288. - It is quite delicious.

289. - I'm sure it is but

290. I've got a bizarre principle that I am sticking to now.

291. - With only half the group able to

292. bring themselves to eat the baby turtles,

293. they bring little relief to the malnourished men.

294. - It's becoming an experiment in starvation.

295. It's really tough to keep going when you're so hungry.

296. And the future looks pretty bleak when it comes to food.

297. - The men have now been living alone on the island

298. for more than five weeks.

299. - This doesn't smell too good.

300. - Ugh!

301. - Fuck! - Ah!

302. - Since the demise of their fishing nets,

303. the food situation has become critical.

304. - Resources on our back doorstep have run out.

305. - A handful of dead baby turtles

306. provided a temporary reprieve for some of the men.

307. - Whoah, ho, ho!

308. - But today they're back to nothing.

309. - About a week ago we saw pig trotter marks,

310. and we're keen to lay some pig traps,

311. and hopefully we'll be able to bring back the bacon!

312. - When you're deprived of food,

313. it literally becomes all-consuming.

314. It's all you think about.

315. It's all that motivates and drives you.

316. "I need something."

317. But hard though it is when they're running on empty,

318. the men can't afford to neglect the other

319. survival essentials they've worked so hard

320. to maintain over five weeks, especially team spirit.

321. - Well done, chefs.

322. - Well that, chaps, is delicious.

323. - Is that the obligatory pubic hair?

324. - After an unsuccessful morning,

325. the only meal the hunting party have been able to muster

326. is limpet broth, which is quickly devoured by the men.

327. - What are you eating?

328. What have I missed? (laughs)

329. - The group's oldest member, Phil,

330. has arrived back in camp later than the others.

331. - We all served up the food

332. and completely forgot about Phil. (laughs)

333. - What have you done?

334. - Is there any broth left?

335. - That would be a negative.

336. - What I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna hide behind my T-shirt

337. - Wow.

338. - In the hope that he doesn't see me.

339. - It's the first time since the men arrived

340. on the island that they have forgotten

341. to feed one of their own.

342. - Everyone looked after themselves and forgot me.

343. - Oh my God, I'm so sorry.

344. - That's okay.

345. Just means that you all owe me, that's all.

346. - So we weren't acting like this

347. four weeks into the experiment,

348. but now we're coming up to five and a half weeks,

349. a lot of people are starting to fray around the edges.

350. Some of them are fraying,

351. some of them are coming away at the seams.

352. - What is he doing now?

353. - I dunno.

354. Just wandering around.

355. - I don't know.

356. - Has he completely lost it?

357. - People eating, I missed food.

358. - Okay finally, let's get the fuck out of here.

359. - That's it.

360. - Enjoy. - We'll see you later on mate.

361. - Desperate for a decent meal,

362. and having exhausted the resources close to camp,

363. Sam Brown and Kyle head off to look further afield.

364. - Now we can go get some coconuts.

365. Fingers crossed.

366. - For the first time, they're heading

367. to the unexplored south side of the island,

368. an arduous five kilometer round-trip

369. across unforgiving terrain.

370. Having set off at 4PM, they have just two hours

371. to make it there and back before nightfall.

372. - We might have left this slightly late.

373. - Guys, there's an iguana here.

374. - Where is it?

375. - In the remaining hours of daylight,

376. the other men are doing their best

377. to find a meal closer to home.

378. - Where is it?

379. - It's in the fucking tree here,

380. I'm pointing to it! - We're in a fucking forest.

381. 12 o'clock, 11 o'clock?

382. where are you standing?

383. Wow.

384. Fractures occurring in the group.

385. Wee arguments, bickering.

386. And that's got to be down to the hunger and the tiredness.

387. We haven't got a fucking clue where it is!

388. - I mean, can everyone see me?

389. If you can see me, I'm pointing at it.

390. - Well, where is it?

391. - Was that you Barney, Barney, Barney?

392. He's gone that way, he's gone that way!

393. - Yeah, no, he's long gone.

394. - Back!

395. - Bollocks.

396. - So are you struggling a bit today?

397. - Yeah, today's been a tough day actually.

398. - Sam and Kyle have now been trekking

399. through dense jungle for more than an hour.

400. - Oh fuck.

401. - In an attempt to find out if the island's

402. South coast has any untapped sources of food.

403. - Slippy as buggery here, Kyle,

404. so just be careful.

405. - Cheers, mate.

406. - This is gonna be a fucking nightmare

407. on the way back.

408. - Is that beach all clear?

409. - Mate, be careful, be careful, be careful!

410. Be careful!

411. Shit. (waves crashing)

412. This is a no-go.

413. We were hoping to find a nice sandy beach

414. and a coconut tree.

415. Erm.

416. Instead...

417. we find this.

418. Fucking lethal.

419. One slip up here and we'll die.

420. - On the other side of the island,

421. farmer Charlie is the first to return to camp

422. after a fruitless day's hunting.

423. - Oh fucking hell!

424. I've come back to find the fire down to about

425. one square inch of embers after a month of constant burn.

426. We're getting a bit complacent now.

427. How much water is left?

428. Oh no.

429. - You can see the standards of the camp are going

430. lower and lower and lower because people are just

431. starting not to give a shit any more.

432. - Kept this fucker, this fire going for a month now.

433. But there was no smoke coming out of that whatsoever.

434. There was an ember about an inch square.

435. Well it was either Barney, Phil, Roscoe.

436. - Let's not point fingers, it's not helpful.

437. - I'm just saying, it was either one of you five.

438. It cannot happen again.

439. - Most of the group have now been

440. back at camp for the past hour, but Sam and Kyle have yet

441. to return from their expedition to the South of the island.

442. - Are we worried about them, lads?

443. - It's now pitch black.

444. - Shit, it is innit, yeah.

445. - It's not the ideal time to be out foraging.

446. - My worry is when you're in the middle of the jungle,

447. in the dark...

448. - Yep, you've just got no navigation.

449. You've got high tide as well so you can't even get around.

450. - This is the first time any of the men

451. have failed to get back to camp before dark.

452. With the weather worsening and concerns growing

453. over Sam and Kyle's safety, the men muster a search party.

454. - Let's go, let's try and find them.

455. Bloody hell.

456. Fucking stupid, going out at 4 o'clock.

457. - Yeah, they're certainly not equipped

458. for a night out in the fucking jungle on their own.

459. - You've got a very steep rock down here.

460. - Sam!

461. Kyle!

462. Sam!

463. Kyle!

464. - It's not looking good, man.

465. - They would not find us here, not a chance.

466. - This is Kyle and Sam, in the dark,

467. trying to trek back towards our camp.

468. We'll see how far we get.

469. - With no sun in the sky,

470. it's hard to get your bearings.

471. - Really, really unforgiving terrain.

472. Charlie?

473. Charlie!

474. - Sam!

475. (bird cawing) - Was that a bird?

476. Oh, fuck.

477. - This is fucking stupid.

478. - I feel tormented out here.

479. - Come on, boys! (whistle blowing)

480. - Sam!

481. Kyle!

482. - Having searched for an hour

483. with no sign of the missing pair,

484. the group reluctantly head back to camp.

485. - Truth now, you want to get them

486. and give 'em a clip for being so stupid

487. and putting us all through this?

488. Because the only thing we are going to be thinking now,

489. all night, "How are they?

490. "I hope they're okay."

491. - Familiarization makes you's think

492. that we've got it licked.

493. - Yeah! - That's what we've done.

494. - We ain't got nothing licked, have we?

495. - Nah. - Mother Nature and this

496. island will bite you whenever she sees fit.

497. - Ah!

498. Fuck, more rocks!

499. - Fucking hell.

500. - Desperately trying to get back to camp,

501. Sam and Kyle have hit the treacherous stretch of coast

502. where Will had his accident.

503. - This is getting dangerous.

504. - One wrong move here could easily prove fatal.

505. - Fuck's sake!

506. Now, this next bit.

507. You have to take it really, really slow

508. because it's slippy as hell on the boulders

509. and we've only got one head torch between us.

510. I am genuinely shitting myself now.

511. Hello!

512. - I genuinely don't think they know where they are.

513. It is a bit eerie, actually, sometimes.

514. Maybe I've seen one too many horror films.

515. I didn't think I was scared of the dark, but out here,

516. you have to sort of steel yourself

517. that you're not scared of the dark.

518. - Hello!

519. - I see a light.

520. - Boys!

521. Hello!

522. - Hello!

523. - Sam!

524. Good to see you, man.

525. We are so pleased that you're back!

526. - I don't think I've ever been so

527. massively relieved in my whole life.

528. - Well done, boys!

529. Glad to have you home!

530. Well done, boys. - Well done, boys.

531. Well done. - It was my pleasure.

532. - The two prodigal sons returned.

533. Thank God they're back home, safe and sound.

534. - The other side of the island is just horrible.

535. It's all sheer cliff, the waves hitting it like.

536. So yeah, man, listen, sorry to keep you guys up for so long.

537. - But we got back, that's what counts.

538. - Well, the past few days have taken the whole group really

539. to their limits, both physically and mentally.

540. Not only have they forgotten to feed people

541. and neglected the essential tasks of fire and water,

542. but their recklessness brought the group close

543. to losing two more men.

544. If they don't start looking after each other,

545. thinking smart, being resourceful and surviving,

546. they haven't got a cat's chance.

547. - The whole thing for me, it all comes down

548. to just getting complacent about everything.

549. Thinking that we're now starting

550. to own this island a little bit,

551. when really we have

552. very little control. - We don't own shit!

553. - That comes down to slipping off rocks,

554. running out of wood, which we'll blatantly do tomorrow.

555. Whatever it may be, let's just get our drills

556. a little bit back in order.

557. - Yeah, let's get back with the basics.

558. - Morning calls and stuff like that.

559. Let's get back into them because we're

560. all fucking shite at the minute.

561. Let's get the basics right.

562. - Yep, it would be vulgar to finish in such a weak way.

563. We are here and we have grown so close together,

564. that we go for it.

565. Doing the things we want to do that are exciting

566. and fulfill all them things we've always

567. wanted to do it since being here.

568. Let's go for it.

569. - Let's do this, chaps, come on.

570. - I don't want to finish weak, I want to finish strong.

571. Catch some pigs, catch some animals.

572. Finish this adventure the way we want to.

573. I'm not going out like a wet fart.

574. I want to go out strong.

575. - Mum and Dad, there's so much I want to tell you.

576. Because I just wanted to say, um...

577. Being here.

578. Has made me realize just how much I love you all.

579. I don't want you to be worried about me in any sense,

580. and the reason I'm being kind of a little bit

581. nearly tearful is 'cause I just can't wait

582. for that moment to see you all.

583. But I'm having the time of my life, I really am.

584. - Early morning.

585. After a difficult day yesterday, the men are determined

586. to redouble their efforts and leave the island on a high.

587. - I'm amazed what washes up on these damn beaches.

588. - A snake!

589. Shall I get a machete?

590. - Ooh. - Nice shot.

591. - Come on.

592. - It's so funny because on day one,

593. we'd be like, "Oh, shit, there's a snake."

594. And now we're like, "Oh, it's just another snake."

595. - Today, I really got a sense that our teamwork,

596. our team effort, really came back.

597. It just seems to be a real pulling together, today.

598. - Whoo!

599. - And he caught a whopper!

600. - We've got fish!

601. - Holy shit!

602. - 'Ello. - 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello.

603. - Oh, what a nice.

604. Oh, that is a. - That is a beauty as well.

605. - Never in my life have I made my own sashimi before.

606. I've gone from eating one fish maybe every six months

607. to now having it raw, on a beach,

608. on a home-whittled table and loving it.

609. - Dig in. - To you, chef.

610. - To many more days like this.

611. - Oh!

612. Mm!

613. That is just so.

614. - Succulent doesn't do it justice, does it?

615. - Fresh.

616. - It's delish.

617. - One of the things I want to see in this experiment

618. is whether these guys can use all their collective resources

619. and brains and muscles to not just survive,

620. but to really thrive, to build community, to have fun,

621. to work out efficient sources of finding food.

622. to really start to thrive and separate us from the animals.

623. - When Oinky makes his way to my front door,

624. I will consume the entire fucking animal.

625. - The men's renewed spirit

626. has brought fresh optimism about the prospect

627. of catching a meatier meal.

628. - Ah, what have we got here?

629. These look like little trotter marks, don't they?

630. - Oh, my fucking God.

631. - Well, that is exciting, isn't it?

632. They're going in the bushes so obviously

633. it's a bit too hot for them and they're going back in.

634. They're definite pig tracks.

635. - Please!

636. Oh, my God, bacon butties.

637. We were all fantasizing the other day

638. about what we're going to do to Oinky.

639. Delusions of grandeur, of smoking him,

640. and putting him on a spit and having crackling,

641. and God knows, all sorts.

642. What we'd give for that.

643. Damn, it's warm, Barney.

644. - It's getting hot, isn't it, mate, eh?

645. - Yeah.

646. - Further down the beach, Vic, Barney

647. and the two Sams are also on the hunt for a decent supper.

648. - Shit the dog!

649. Shit the dog!

650. - What? - Look at that, look at that.

651. There's something there.

652. Stop, stop, stop, don't move.

653. Don't move. - Where, where, where?

654. - There is a pig, okay, stop.

655. There is a pig. - Black pig, black pig.

656. - There is a pig fit in there.

657. - No way! - Don't move, don't move!

658. Vic, Vic, Vic, don't move.

659. Let's have a think about this.

660. - Okay, I think he's just having a little

661. snooze in the shade.

662. So we need to get behind him because

663. that's going to go straight in there.

664. - I'll come up the sand, all right?

665. - I'll go with you, then, yeah?

666. - Don't you worry, we'll hold him down.

667. If I'm eating pig tonight, I'll fight the bastard.

668. Just keep very calm.

669. - When cornered, pigs can be

670. incredibly aggressive animals.

671. - Don't you think it's gonna run like stink?

672. - They've got razor-sharp tusks and a vicious bite.

673. - Get it, get it, get it!

674. Get in!

675. Holy shit, Barney!

676. I thought he was going to turn him back.

677. Me, I crapped meself.

678. Yeah, he's gone.

679. - Gosh, that was so much quicker than I thought.

680. That was just like oof!

681. - Listen, it's done. - This is how we roll.

682. - I wasn't expecting you to stab him.

683. We had, you know, I understand that.

684. - I didn't expect to stab him at all.

685. - I did.

686. - Mate, that would kill you.

687. - That would hurt. - That would fuck you up.

688. - Yeah.

689. - This is a fucking adult pig.

690. - Yeah. - This is like a hog isn't it?

691. - These things wreck people.

692. - Do you know what I mean? - Jesus, look at that tusk.

693. - That would go through to bone, wouldn't it?

694. - Oh, yeah.

695. Six weeks ago, I would have been very slow to draw a knife

696. and ram it into a large mammal's throat.

697. Now, I didn't even think.

698. I didn't even hesitate.

699. - Easy-peasy.

700. - Okay? - Yeah.

701. - Oh, there's going to be so much meat on that head.

702. - In 21st century Britain, I think we're so used to getting

703. all of our meat pre-packaged off a supermarket shelf.

704. And in many ways we've kind of lost touch

705. with actually where it comes from.

706. - Meat on his legs, ribs, back legs, the lot.

707. - Many people, understandably, find the whole idea

708. of killing an animal, they find it either cruel

709. or definitely upsetting.

710. And, yes, it's never pleasant to take a life,

711. but in a survival situation, when it comes down to it,

712. it's a simple choice, them or you.

713. - Nose to tail, we're going to

714. eat every piece of you, Mr Pig.

715. - I can see home from here, boys.

716. (men cheering) - I don't believe it.

717. I don't believe it, it cannot be a trotter!

718. - Whoo! - Boys!

719. Eh, the damnedest thing, eh?

720. - Ooh!

721. - Yes. (hands clapping)

722. - Well done, boys.

723. - Three, two, one, go!

724. - Oh, Mr Piggy. - That was hard work.

725. Yeah?

726. I did all right, big fella, we eat pig!

727. Get in there!

728. - Oh, that is great. - Absolutely brilliant.

729. - Oh, get in there!

730. - A pig of this size, weighing up to 200lbs,

731. contains tens of thousands of calories,

732. and can feed the 10 men for the next few days.

733. - I think there's a lung there.

734. - Yeah, you don't want to eat lung.

735. - Oh, we're going to have pork belly.

736. Oh! (meat sizzling)

737. God, that is like barbecue food.

738. - Yeah.

739. - Has anybody got any preference about

740. who's served first today?

741. I would say Phil.

742. - After the group forgot to feed Phil yesterday,

743. by way of an apology, they give him first

744. dibs on the spoils.

745. - I'm having a meat orgasm. (chuckles)

746. Which one's the kidney?

747. Anyone that knows me will know one

748. of my favorite meals is liver and bacon.

749. Guess what that is?

750. Liver.

751. Oh!

752. And then, to add to that...

753. Kidney.

754. Mm!

755. That beats any crocodile, any fish,

756. anything I've had on this island, anything.

757. - The pig is the men's first taste

758. of meat in weeks, and nothing is going to waste.

759. - I think that's testicle-y.

760. - I'm going to eat everything of this pig!

761. I'm even going to eat its little willy.

762. I'd eat some pig penis.

763. There's a very unique flavor in there.

764. - Does that taste like dick?

765. 0 It is dick.

766. - It worries me quite a lot that you

767. know what dick tastes like.

768. - Vic! - Yeah?

769. - I think we're raising the sign, mate.

770. - After surviving on the island

771. for almost six weeks, the men have decided

772. to make a tribute to their achievement.

773. - Gentlemen, by the power invested in me.

774. I name this camp

775. The Croc and Trotter.

776. - The Croc and Trotter! (men cheering)

777. - I'm really looking forward to this ending,

778. and looking back and just saying, "Wow, I did that."

779. I accomplished.

780. I succeeded.

781. We conquered the island.

782. - We're named and ready to rock.

783. - Shall we play toss the caber?

784. - Yeah!

785. - Hey boys, first game, let's go!

786. - Three, a two, a one!

787. Toss the caber!

788. Go on, Charlie!

789. Ooh.

790. Toss it!

791. Go on, son! - Not bad.

792. - Yeah!

793. - That is the first time that the whole group

794. we've let our hair down and not worried

795. about water, or wood, or survival,

796. or will we eat or will we not?

797. It's kind of like us just getting together

798. as lads and having fun.

799. I wish, looking back, I wish we'd done more of that.

800. That's one of the highlights of our entire time here.

801. - Oh! - Go, go, go!

802. - He's out!

803. - Oh no!

804. - Go on, Charlie, lad!

805. - Oh, yes. - One, nil!

806. - Yes! - What I have experienced

807. many times in the wild is an incredible sense

808. of achievement that is very hard to get in everyday life.

809. (bat whacking) - Catch it!

810. Oh, get going!

811. - And I think when you've battled for seven or eight hours

812. in a torrential rainstorm with just a couple

813. of sticks to make a fire, you've got to look

814. for opportunities, however small, to have fun.

815. It's almost like nourishment but for the soul.

816. - Take the strain!

817. - Take the strain!

818. - Call it a draw?

819. - A draw!

820. - I feel amazing.

821. I feel relaxed, I feel empowered, I feel like...

822. we're masters of this island.

823. I'll treasure this moment.

824. I really, really will.

825. This is what The Island's all about.

826. This and a handful of other moments, this feeling.

827. I hope I never forget it.

828. - Well, here we are.

829. We are at the end of this magnificent, magnificent journey.

830. Overwhelming sadness that I miss me wife and kids so much.

831. Not so much sadness, just

832. "God, how long can this truly go on for?"

833. Er.

834. Yeah, I'd like to see 'em soon, if possible.

835. The sooner the better, for me, the sooner the better.

836. - What do you think of that beauty?

837. - Shit. - Here it goes!

838. Look, look, look!

839. Ooh, there's some heat off this bad boy!

840. Look at that!

841. - Yeah! - Look at that go!

842. - Thad didn't take long, did it?

843. - Ocean's Elevenses!

844. This is our last night on the island!

845. Best night so far?

846. I think so.

847. It has to be, doesn't it?

848. Awesome, love it.

849. Home's within spitting distance.

850. Really enjoying it, everyone's spirit's are really high.

851. Wow.

852. - The men have now survived

853. on the island for 40 days.

854. - Would you guys like to hear a little

855. Robbie Burns poem that I wrote this morning?

856. - I would love to hear your Robbie Burns poem.

857. - Love to.

858. - Dear islands, our islands, this new family does hail.

859. As you've chucked everything at us but nobody has failed.

860. On the contrary, dear islands, as our stay grew longer,

861. we may have reduced in numbers.

862. - Holy shit!

863. - But we've grown ever stronger.

864. For six long weeks we've battled hunger,

865. tides, exhaustion, the weather,

866. but with British bulldog spirit.

867. - She floats!

868. - We triumphed with heart, soul and endeavor.

869. - Oh, shit!

870. - You've been cruel, uncomfortable

871. and brutal to us all.

872. With freezing rain, dangerous seas

873. and rocks that make us fall.

874. Shit!

875. Your dangerous beasts that can kill,

876. maim and maul. (pig squealing)

877. - Whoa, whoa, whoa! - It's a scorpion.

878. - But we baited, trapped, killed,

879. cooked and ate them all.

880. - Oh, delicious.

881. So good.

882. - But, dear islands, our islands,

883. we will never forget the incredible journey we've shared

884. since our new family met.

885. - Here, Barney.

886. - So the question is, our islands,

887. can British blokes survive?

888. - Just get the fucking camera off!

889. - The answer is no, dear islands.

890. We didn't just survive but thrive.

891. - Excellent.

892. - Oh my God, look at her go!

893. - Wow!

894. - So I'm on my way to pick up the men after six weeks,

895. you know, and to be honest, I'm pretty nervous

896. just about what I'm gonna find.

897. You know, are they gonna be emaciated wrecks

898. or are they going to look pretty healthy?

899. You know, are they gonna be broken men,

900. or will they have figured out how to survive and thrive?

901. - It is quite strange, though, isn't it?

902. - What about? - It's finished.

903. - Yeah, within an hour,

904. we'll step off and never, ever step back on.

905. - But it has been an honor

906. serving with you, gentlemen.

907. - Yes, hear, hear. - Ditto.

908. - Hear, hear. - Good effort, gents.

909. - I feel quite proud of our little gang.

910. The island has taught me an incredible sense of unity.

911. And we've shared, we've shared everything

912. that we've had here on this island.

913. Doesn't matter if it was the smallest fish,

914. we've shared it between everyone.

915. I feel...

916. thrilled to have made it this far with you all.

917. It sounds fucked up but I feel like

918. I'm going to actually miss you lot.

919. - I think I'm leaving the island

920. with a renewed sense of confidence, and some friends.

921. (chuckles) Some more friends, should I say?

922. - There we go, boys. - No way!

923. - There he is.

924. - Oh my god. - Yes!

925. Whoo!

926. - This is our man. - This is it, lads.

927. - It's Bear Grylls. - Bear Grylls, lads.

928. - It's only Bear bloody Grylls.

929. We've only bloody done it.

930. - We've only bloody done it!

931. - Look at you guys.

932. I thought I smelled bad.

933. I mean, that is the smell of honest, hard work.

934. - Glad to see ya!

935. - Thanks for coming back.

936. - I'm glad I made it to the end.

937. I am super, super, super glad I made it to the end.

938. - Well done, you guys, wow.

939. It's like you've been through a war zone.

940. But those smiles tell a story.

941. So how are you feeling?

942. - Fantastic. - Glad to see you now.

943. - Actually fantastic. - Glad you're here.

944. - Ours is a band of brothers.

945. It's not a band of brothers any more, it's a family.

946. Love 'em and hate them, they're here forever with you,

947. and it was fantastic.

948. - So we're going to get you off the island.

949. One last thing you guys want to do?

950. - Yes.

951. - Whoo, come on, boys!

952. Get the fire up. - All right, guys.

953. - Kyle, you started this fire.

954. You tell us when to end it, pal.

955. - I'm proud to say that I've made it here with you guys,

956. Ocean's Elevenses.

957. Let's quench the fire.

958. - Quench the fire, guys!

959. Yeah!

960. - Go on!

961. - Get in there, yes!

962. - I think what's interesting is you that realize

963. they've actually become a really tight unit.

964. You know, that's why there's emotion at the end

965. when they're hugging each other

966. because they've been through the fire together

967. and they've come out of it stronger.

968. - We're done, boys!

969. Let's grab us tackle and get out of here, yeah?

970. - Get the fuck out of here. - Get the fuck out of here.

971. - That's it.

972. - If I got that chance again

973. give me about a year or half a year, I'll do it again.

974. But if you ask me to do it tomorrow,

975. I'll probably tell you to piss off.

976. - Just 'cause you're over 40, just 'cause you're over 50,

977. just 'cause you're almost 60 doesn't mean you're spent.

978. A can-do attitude goes a long way in this life.

979. - Is that Will?

980. It's Will!

981. - There's William!

982. - What's happening, boys?

983. - It is so good to see you!

984. - See you too!

985. - Oh, man, I'm so glad. - Wow, you all stink!

986. I couldn't let you guys get to the end without me!

987. - Hello, is that you?

988. All right?

989. I'm fine, you?

990. (laughs) It's absolutely brilliant, babe.

991. Oh, God, your voice is beautiful.

992. - Hello?

993. - Hello?

994. - Hello?

995. - Oh!

996. Is that Barney?

997. - Yeah.

998. - Oh, Barney!

999. Lovely to hear from you.

1000. - Hi, Mum.

1001. (crying) - Oh!

1002. - So if I had a look at it overall,

1003. you know, they've built community.

1004. They've learnt a compassion and a care for each other.

1005. A respect for each other.

1006. They've worked their nuts off.

1007. They've understood the heart of survival

1008. isn't about knowledge, it's about embracing failure,

1009. making mistakes and never giving up,

1010. and that's why, at the end of it,

1011. what they've done is inspiring.

1012. They've gone through a journey together

1013. and come out of it stronger, tighter,

1014. and it's why they've learned the beginning

1015. of a mastery over this environment.

1016. They can call themselves survivors.

1017. They've earned it the hard way.
