[MUSIC PLAYING]
Whoo.
It's a heck of a journey.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm thirsty.
I'm really thirsty.
Whoa.
Look over here.
Wow.
God.
That's a really big cave.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Check this out.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Jeez.
Oh, my God.
This feels like home.
So usually you have to spend so much time
creating your shelter, gathering resources, harvesting
materials.
This cave is an amazingly unique resource,
absolutely incredible.
Oh, my God.
This place is off the hook.
I'm incredibly fortunate that we found this cave.
This is a major find very early in the game.
Oh, look at this water dripping.
It's streaming right off of here.
Where's this coming from?
I don't feel comfortable drinking it from here.
NARRATOR: To eliminate the possibility of diarrhea,
intestinal failure, and diseases such as hepatitis, Jeff and Eva
need a fire to boil and purify the water
before they can drink it.
If we drink bad water, it could be the end of us.
Totally.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
See all those white balls?
Those are black widow nests.
Oh, my God.
It's like a whole frickin'-- it's like a black widow nursery
back there.
It is, not even joking.
All the babies are back there.
That means mama's back there too.
Look how many there are.
That's [BLEEP].
It's like black widow central.
That's pretty wild.
NARRATOR: The egg sacks each contain
several hundred eggs, aggressively
guarded by the female.
They can hatch at any time, releasing
an army of baby black widows whose venomous
bite can induce vomiting, organ failure,
and death, if left untreated.
We got bit by those spiders, we would die.
And so what we've really got to decide
is it worth the risk of the beautiful perfect cave?
I think, it is if we take things into our own hands
and eradicate the cave of black widows.
I have a healthy respect for spiders.
I don't feel it is our place to roll in and trample
all over their world.
And I'm also not the kind of person who ever
seeks to eradicate anything.
To be honest, I'd build a fire right under that.
Yeah.
Just burn the crap out of it.
You know, eliminate them.
Yeah.
I don't think so.
You know, I am a firm believer in karma.
And so I just want to make sure if we're going to take a really
extreme step like eradicating an entire micro population
of spiders, that the benefits are going to outweigh the harm.
I want to just be extra sure about it
and just feel 100% before I go diving headfirst into anything.
The black widows are a threat.
But spiders don't like heat.
And they don't like smoke.
So hopefully, if we can get a fire going,
the spiders will just leave on their own.
NARRATOR: With night approaching,
there's no time to build an alternate shelter.
And sleeping outside the cave in freezing temperatures
is not an option.
Sleeping in the cave, I'm fine with it.
I think the cave is our best bet.
I think, we have to.
I think we should do.
All right.
So next mission, I think we should get a fire going
and get some smoke flowing through here.
Yup.
NARRATOR: Without a fire, they'll
have no warmth, no water, and no protection from spiders
while they sleep.
It's really hard to find tinder out here
because everything's evolved to not
be burned by fire because fires are so common out here.
Here you go.
So this is a fire starter I brought.
Flint and steel, pretty simple striker.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Let's set it on this rock because that'll give
me a better striking surface.
Stubborn.
This sucks.
This really sucks.
It's getting dark soon.
And I'm upset.
Are you freaking kidding me?
What is with this stuff?
It doesn't want to ignite.
It's not good material.
I mean, what do we need?
What do we need differently?
Different stuff?
Those birds nest we found in the trees today,
we should have grabbed them.
Man, seriously.
Well, we'll wait till morning.
What do we do, you know?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Without a fire, I'm really worried about spiders.
All those nest hatching, you know
hundreds of little baby black widows crawling around.
I don't think I can go to sleep right now.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Right now, we've got to get a fire going.
It's really important.
Can I hold it up for you?
It's just not spreading.
I'm going to try to get it right down in the middle here.
At least I can be blowing in on the side here.
Stubborn.
There you go.
Yeah, baby.
Fire.
NARRATOR: To rid the water of all harmful bacteria,
the water must reach a minimum of 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Right now, man, I am parched.
My mouth is dry.
That is not a lot of water.
More water than none.
At the time it boils, might not be any left in there.
Oh. Yeah.
That's 212 easily.
- It's hot. - Yeah.
Absolutely.
All right.
So that should have killed everything out.
Ladies first.
Eva.
Here we go.
Oh, my God.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Just those drops on your tongue, amazing.
Well, it's cool enough now, we can
just take a slurp out of it.
Actually makes a good cup, doesn't it?
Check it out. - Oh, my God.
It's like amazing.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
That fresh water, it was severely needed.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One, two, three, four, five.
They're still just five of them down there.
I think, you have to crawl back there
and do some like spider talking, you know.
The spider whisperer?
Ask them to please leave.
Dude, it's not like that.
It's not some [BLEEP].
It's just, you know--
As long as the spiders leave us alone,
I really don't see any reason to kill them.
I'm trying to understand her point of view.
But we're not going to be able to sleep
many more nights without black widows coming at us.
Would you feel more comfortable me killing them all?
No.
Not in the slightest.
All right.
I don't see why we can't be human about it,
as opposed to being completely animalistic about it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right.
I'm sitting here, freezing my ass off.
I feel like I might have gotten stung on the lip.
It feels all swollen.
That's weird.
I am definitely on high alert for spiders.
Whoa.
Dude, there was just a scorpion right underneath me.
Jeez.
It is right here.
Out of fricking nowhere.
I'm not kidding you, dude.
It is right here.
I need something to smash it with.
Oh, my God.
It was like right on me.
That scorpion totally got my hackles up.
It absolutely could have bitten me.
And it really got me thinking about those black widows.
And I have no interest, whatsoever, in getting
bit by some gnarly spider.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Are you ready to do it now?
Yeah.
Well, let's set this torch up.
And let's do this.
Eva has come around.
And finally, she totally agrees that they have got to go.
She wants them dead.
That's a nice stick for building our torch.
Perfect.
As much as I hate to admit it, it's
us versus those damn spiders.
So I'm thinking torch [BLEEP].
Once it ignites, I'd dive in there.
You could die very quickly from a black Widow bite.
It'll start eating the tissues away.
Your organs could start shutting down.
If me or Eva got bit, we'd probably not make it.
They're dangerous.
They have got to go.
All right.
Go get them, brother.
Home improvement time.
Oh.
There they go.
They fell right down in the fire.
Oh, God.
Die black widows.
Die.
A bunch of sons of bitches.
I'm going to be so happy not having these guys in my house.
- Me too. - Hey.
Good work.
Nice.
I would have loved to torch those spiders myself.
