Outlast (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
It's Day 16
in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness,
and as temperatures drop into the low 30s
What the hell, man?
I mean, he stole from Joel and Dawn.
They could steal from us.
Only reason they didn't
is because we're too close to their camp.
Justin's raid
of critical survival resources from Delta
- Oh my God!
- Oh my God!
What happened?
proves Alpha
is the game's apex predator.
We got three extra sleeping bags.
Over at Delta Camp
We've decreased the size,
less room to heat.
victims Joel and Dawn assess
what having their sleeping bags stolen
now means for their survival.
Ah, you know what else?
- What?
- We'll get the fire roaring.
We'll get about six,
eight stones together.
We'll get those stones hot
to keep the bed warm before you crawl in.
Yep. If you shiver,
get in front of the fire.
- We're here to win, right?
- We're here to win.
The teams evaluate what this
new move of the game means for everyone.
A camp was attacked.
So, now,
Nick's standing guard duty,
and all of our stuff's
been brought inside.
Who is out there?
It's one way to
take a team down.
That's Navy SEAL shit.
They did it in 30 minutes.
That's insane.
Whoever did this, thank you,
because now they're gonna tap.
You know they're gonna hit us
at some point.
Damn it.
I'm totally stressed now
that they think I'm with them.
That I helped them set this up.
Me and Brian are innocent.
Don't mess with our shit.
Just being on this side of the water,
I felt panicked.
I realized they're gonna
just think guilty by association.
Brian, I got big news, man.
- You ain't gonna believe this shit.
- What?
I'm out there collecting mussels,
and I could see commotion
on the other side of the river.
Justin went over there
and stole three sleeping bags.
Holy shit!
Who?
Dawn and Joel.
Oh my God.
That's a huge shocker.
This is stuff I can't stomach.
Even listening to it, I was getting sick.
But, man.
I don't like competition because
it brings out the worst in people.
Yeah.
Look what happened.
Oh, man. They turned into Satan,
being out here.
Oh my God.
To steal the stuff
and leave 'em out in the cold.
You might as well just kill 'em!
It was, like, vicious. Like rabid dogs.
Two weeks in the wilderness
can do that to somebody?
Did they come in here like that?
No. They came in here like that.
This experience
is not bringing out any characteristic
that was hidden deep inside.
If you're like this here,
you're like that in real life.
Money is one thing,
but I would rather die a poor man
with my family knowing
I died a good man, you know.
- Yeah.
- I could never do that to another human.
God.
They opened Pandora's box.
They're not gonna let us win
by just staying here and staying alive.
I know I won't be able to stop it, but
I can't have any part of that.
I'm here to play the game.
I'm here to win.
With temperatures continuing
to drop, from this point forward,
Team Delta faces these life-threatening
conditions without sleeping bags.
Let's get our bellies warm.
Oh, I'm so cold.
- These hot rocks do wonders.
- Yeah.
Do you need more?
No, I'm good right now.
I think I'm almost covered.
Get all your feet in
and get the tarp pulled up over it.
Oh, if only I could just crawl
into my sleeping bag.
We haven't stopped shivering.
Yeah.
Miserable.
We need blankets.
Bodies can't survive at this temperature.
I really worry
about our longevity in this game.
When you shiver all night long,
you spend all of your energy
not dying of hypothermia.
It's a flashback
to nights one through three,
where we did this
except we had 20 more pounds.
Oh man.
I'm not sure, at this point, if another
night of this is what we're gonna do.
Mm-hmm.
- I don't wanna go anywhere.
- I don't either.
We made it to morning.
Holy shit. I feel like we've won.
- I know. Seriously. What a night.
- We won!
- It's morning.
- Yay.
Mm, it definitely, probably, dipped down
into the high 20s last night.
- And it froze outside, hard.
- Like a deep, hard frost.
Of all nights to not have
the sleeping bag, it was this night.
Oh, it sucks.
Tell you what,
getting in two sleeping bags,
all that insulate, I was toasty.
- I was sweating last night.
- Yeah.
- I was like, cold toes, no.
- Nope.
Stealing their stuff
and leaving 'em out
in the freezing cold with nothing.
No human being deserves
that kind of treatment.
People are just so greedy,
they're willing to do anything
to their fellow humans to get money.
Fighting dirty,
not caring about other people.
It's gotta stop at some point.
I'm just not willing to go to the lengths
that these other people are.
I just can't be a part of this circus
of cruelty that's going on here.
So, I made the decision
that today I'm gonna bail out.
I gotta get away from here.
Let's call it a protest.
I want people to know
that there is good people in the world.
I'm coming home.
Javier,
he's just one of those guys
that would try and convince me
to stay out here forever.
I just know it.
So I had to get up
super early in the morning
to flee this campsite without Javier.
- Another flare.
- I don't wanna cheer, but I do.
Oh man.
Oh, hell yeah.
Oh shit.
Wasn't that a beautiful sight?
How'd you like that?
I think Brian
pulled that flare gun.
I think Brian's gone.
So that means, Javier is uno at Bravo.
Which means he cannot continue in the game
unless he finds a team to join him,
or he came knocking at my door.
Javi's resilient.
- He'll be here 'til the end.
- Yeah.
Maybe encouraging Brian
to ditch his morals
was just enough to say to him,
"It's not worth it to me,
because I care what people think
about me at home."
I'll take another flare.
How do you think
they're doing over there?
On the north bank
Boy, the outlook changes really fast.
Delta assesses
what a flare above Bravo means.
You know, short of going over
and, like, throwing ourselves
at the mercy of Charlie or Bravo,
I mean, basically, our
only option is to like
- Flare out?
- Yeah, pretty much.
- I mean
- Which sucks.
You know, even if Charlie
wanted to come together,
if that's the deal at the end of the game,
there's no way we can play it
to our advantage.
No.
Paul's a hypocrite and a traitor.
So, I don't trust Charlie Team.
I think we gotta go Bravo,
because then, we stay strong.
We keep our deal with Charlie
for the third of the crab pot,
because it's gonna be our bait, our craft.
- That's kind of where I'm going.
- Yeah.
So, let's go to them, low tide.
- See if we catch Javier and Brian.
- Yep.
Javier wakes up
to the sound of a helicopter
to retrieve valuable resources
that may have been dropped.
I don't know where Brian is.
Oh shit.
Look at that.
Nothing but a message, huh?
"Javier, I shot the flare
and left the competition."
"I decided I could no longer
be in a contest of dishonor."
"It has become obvious the winners
will be the team who is most capable
of inflicting inhumane acts
against each other."
"We survived together because
you shared your knowledge with me
and I shared my patience with you."
"I will never forget
our time together. Brian."
Brian me over pretty good
and decided to give up and shoot a flare.
He left in such a shitty way.
He coulda looked at me,
shook my hand, and said goodbye.
Oh dammit.
You know, I gotta laugh
because if I didn't laugh,
I'd probably scream and yell.
'Cause there's dishonor?
Oh, when shit gets tough you just quit?
The way you show them
and teach them a lesson
is you fight the good fight, and you
make sure that those bastards don't win.
Look at me.
I can live out here. I can survive.
We coulda saw this through, Brian.
Hey, Bravo!
Oh shit.
Joel!
Is that you, Brian?
No.
Is that Javier?
Brian's gone.
Brian's gone as well?
Yeah.
I wanna let you know,
we have nothing to do with them!
Thank you for that, man.
It's been brutal.
Do you guys have any extra sleeping bags?
We only have two!
Brian and mine.
- Yep. That makes sense.
- Yeah.
That's what we wanted
to strategize with you on.
We're wondering if we should merge.
Oh, totally!
That's just That'd be sweet.
Our side or your side?
What do you think?
We're fine coming to you.
We're just wondering about the neighbors.
I got a plan for that.
If you come here,
you'll get your sleeping bags back.
Very good.
Will you be able to get over here?
We're gonna try.
I'm here. I'm here at camp.
We should try to come over there,
next day or two.
Okay, I'm waiting for you.
- We're coming.
- Okay.
Very good.
Seems like a miracle has happened.
Um
Within minutes of getting Brian's letter
and me staring off into the distance,
wondering what the hell I'm gonna do,
Joel and Dawn,
they're strong.
We're gonna join forces, and we're
gonna show those bastards over there
how to win honorably.
- Tomorrow morning, at a low tide.
- All right.
So, shit's starting
to get interesting.
- Yep.
- Yeah.
While Bravo and Delta
are forced to prioritize the game,
Alpha stays vigilant
on the essentials of survival.
- Jill is on a mission now.
- Good.
- She's the best archer in the whole thing.
- Yeah.
So she set up her bow,
got a few practice shots in.
- Good.
- We set her up, got her packed up.
- She'll get a deer.
- Yeah.
The last few days
definitely changed everything.
We need more calories.
So, I had to take the bow,
go hunt some dinner for the team.
This hunger is really setting in
after two weeks just barely skimming by.
I know I've lost some weight.
I'm gonna go to that scene
where the water is,
to the island
where we found the crab pots,
cut up through there, over
Yeah.
and then around.
As soon as I get to that shoreline,
I'll follow the shoreline around.
You got this.
- I don't have no choice, do I?
- No.
- Travel safely.
- Ugh!
Jill crosses the river at low tide,
targeting the new muskeg
far from the footprint of Alpha Camp.
Wow.
What?
Cuck-coo!
Cuck-coo!
Hey!
- It's Paul, right?
- Right.
Yeah? Jill.
- How you doing?
- Remember me?
Yeah, I remember you.
Good to see you. You look great.
- Uh
- So, you're Delta?
I'm Charlie.
I started out Delta. I'm Charlie now.
Long story, we'll talk about it.
I don't know if you heard that commotion
today, but I'm a little guarded.
There've been a couple of commotions
the last two days on our side.
- You know about the flare?
- I do.
- Do you know who it was?
- And that was
It wasn't Joel and Dawn? Nick? No.
Jordan. Jordan went out on a shield.
He passed out and went out-out.
So, Dawn and Joel
are the only left at Delta?
And this morning,
all of a sudden, we see Dawn
holler at Javier.
You know, what little bit
I hear across the river,
I guess they're joining up with Bravo.
- Yep.
- Like, why?
Someone came in their camp,
took their sleeping bags,
took I don't know what else.
So, they have nothing.
And here's the thing,
it was either us or it was Alpha,
and it wasn't us.
Well, I was at my camp.
I'm sure you was.
And look,
let me tell you,
you all are Navy SEAL stealth
'cause they had 30 minutes
to get in and get out with that stuff.
- It was quick and it
- Impressive, isn't it?
Very.
You impressed?
I'm very impressed.
We got room.
How about an alliance?
Are you serious?
We work together as two solid teams,
Alpha and Charlie,
to get rid of Delta and Bravo?
- Yeah.
- You're awesome.
My God, this is awesome.
This is awesome!
Did I say this is awesome?
So, Paul and I have aligned.
Operation Hootie Hoo.
The Hootie Hoo.
We have Operation Hootie Hoo going on.
We have to delete two different teams.
You've got two teams across the water
from each other and they're bleeding out.
Uh, just keep pressure on those guys.
To do that, we'll have to work together.
I think we got the same idea.
He says he's pretty sure he can
convince his team to go along with that.
And once there are only two teams left,
we go back to a respectful game.
Look, I've been playing the game
since day one.
I don't know. How do we attack this thing?
But as long as Jill will play fair
with Charlie Crew,
I think that's key to this.
There's rubs everywhere.
Abrasions against the base of a tree
are caused by deer
rubbing their antlers to mark territory.
Every 15, 20 feet,
there's a rub here.
Jill and Paul follow the clues
to track the buck travel patterns.
Gonna be does comin' through.
A buck's gonna come through at some point,
so we have got to split up.
Okay. Once we've accomplished
our mission, let's meet up here.
Yeah, okay.
Hootie Hoo.
I've got like
an hour and a half left
before I'm supposed to meet
back at the camp.
To prevent going home empty-handed,
I'm just gonna try
to get a couple squirrel.
Ah, damn it!
He's hurt.
Come on, baby, fall down.
There's your shot.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's obviously
a little bittersweet for me.
I do 1000% respect
the life that I just took.
And I'm so grateful for him
'cause today, the hunger pains
really set in hard, and it was like
if you're gonna make it, you're gonna
If we're gonna do this, you're gonna
If you're gonna win this game,
you'll have to do all the hard stuff.
Jill field dresses the squirrel.
She removes the hide,
preserves the edible organs,
and remains careful
not to penetrate the bowels or bladder,
which would taint the meat.
I feel the pride that hunters feel.
I earned what I'm gonna eat.
With the first red meat
of the challenge
Come home, mama bear.
Jill provides essential nutrients
to a team that's embraced
an aggressive game.
Got stuff cooking.
Oh my gosh. You do?
- Yes.
- Wanna throw this in there with it?
Yeah, nice.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, and I kept his tail.
- Okay.
- Yes!
We'll put that there.
- Yeah.
- Oh my God, yes!
So, heart, lungs, liver are inside still.
Cook it all up.
Yeah, cook it all up!
- How do you wanna do it? Boil it?
- I wanna roast it.
- Don't you want some real meat?
- You wanna know what?
- He made
- A rotisserie?
He made some sticks this morning. Yep.
- Oh, y'all knew. You just knew.
- We knew!
We know how to forage. Jill can hunt.
Then Alpha Team can infiltrate
and dismantle.
Today is a win, for sure.
- So
- Wow.
Ta-ta-ta-da! Drum roll, please.
I saw Paul hunting in
Okay.
He told me
Javier's been in cahoots with Delta,
and they're trying to merge.
Ah!
My, what an interesting day this has been!
And he is Delta, huh?
He is Charlie.
Oh, he's Charlie?
What?
He's Charlie?
Paul is Charlie.
Interesting.
But I got Paul to agree
that we would align,
because of the shit with Javier.
- Mm.
- Alpha and Charlie will align
until we get Delta and Bravo out,
and then it's game on.
- We do not play dirty against each other.
- Okay.
- Final seven
- 'Til they get eliminated.
- working together.
- Okay.
Now it's time to celebrate!
- Party!
- Time to celebrate, guys!
Party, party!
With a new strategy
brokered between Jill and Paul,
Alpha targets their new neighbor
and failed ally, Javier.
Joel!
Yeah, buddy.
If you could get to that island
I'll meet you on the island,
and we transfer shit.
Okay!
If Delta is meeting them at the island,
they're all gonna be on that island.
- That gives us a bit of time.
- Okay.
If we can go, at least dismantle,
take his sleeping bag,
take whatever other little tools,
it would be like poking another hole.
- Right.
- Because
I want them to see us.
And that way, maybe, they'll be like,
"They've raided my camp.
I may not have a shelter."
"Let's go to Delta."
It gets them off our side of the island.
Well, I say we let them see us
after we already get the shit.
Javi said he's got a plan.
We're moving over there,
and we're gonna help him.
And then,
we can let the real games begin.
Bag up
all the equipment stuff first.
I'll work on equipment,
you work on the tarps.
Very good.
We are planning to go ahead
and move across the river today,
tear down camp to merge with Bravo.
Tearing down the Delta shelter.
I think Bravo has got
a fairly substantial shelter.
Flat ground, protected from elements,
and I think it's gonna add to the team,
and add to our success.
Farewell, kind fort.
You've treated us well.
Merging camps
is a barrel of monkeys of fun.
Today, I woke up kind of excited,
thinking about Joel and Dawn
coming across the river
and joining me here in my lovely camp.
They suffered without sleeping bags,
and they still made it.
They are hardcore.
What are we gonna do?
I mean, we don't want them over here.
Amber and I have to come up
with our own strategies.
How are we gonna keep Delta
from coming over?
How are we gonna get Javier
out of our life?
We have to guard our own shit
when all three of 'em are here.
- It's three against three.
- Alpha's strategy
to try and keep the merge
of Bravo and Delta off the riverbank
resonates with Charlie,
who sees the gameplay potential
of controlling their entire shoreline.
Hey, Charlie! Can we get
you guys' help to put our raft in?
Yeah, I'll help.
- Let's do it.
- Let's do it.
I think Jill and Amber
are now afraid.
'Cause they know that if they come
here and we create a team of three,
their days are numbered.
We're gonna have to be very
We'll have to watch the other side
because we can't move until they do.
- Right.
- If we move, they'll alert him.
There we go. Thank you, brother.
Regardless, Bravo comes down.
That camp
will not be existing after today.
All right.
- Hey, thank you for your help, again.
- Yeah.
- We got you guys.
- Good luck over there.
But we gotta get over there,
so we can get rid of A.
Mindful of the primitive
raft's limitations
We'll give them a taste
of their own medicine.
Absolutely.
Joel ferries the first bag
of materials towards Bravo Camp.
If he goes to that island, we are going
into Javier's camp and taking his stuff.
What's goin' on? Let's see what he does.
Okay. He's taking the buoy.
Now he's gonna try
to pull 'em across and not leave.
Let's go get him.
Come on, man, you got this.
So, let's see If we head him off,
we'll be a little bit closer.
Where's the entrance?
Right here.
Let's go.
Grab that bag. It's his.
Oh my God. Are they really?
- What?
- They're going up toward the shelter.
He's coming! He's coming!
Get 'em, Javier!
Guys, you're stealing my shit!
Well, that's the game
we're playing, apparently.
Get the  outta here.
You sore losers.
We'll sit right here.
You
Either go to Delta
or fire your flare gun.
You have two choices.
Somebody's coming back out.
Amber's coming back out.
- Is that who's on the beach?
- Yeah, that's Amber there.
You can't outlast us.
You have two choices.
Go to Delta or fire your flare gun.
- Look, go back over there to your
- No.
I'm not leaving.
- You can't beat us fair and square.
- You have to cheat!
The bitch is going for the raft!
The bitch is going for the raft!
Oh my God! You selfish bastards!
You can't live out here!
You can't outlast us!
You gotta cheat and steal to win!
- Okay.
- You can't do it!
That's why you're desperate
and stealing shit!
- I'm not desperate.
- Everybody on this camera can see that.
I'm not desperate at all.
I'm playing the game.
No, this is not. This is cheating.
What the is wrong with you?
It's cheating.
Cheating is breaking rules.
You can't steal shit
without ramifications.
There is no law here.
- Yes, there is!
- No.
This is America!
No, we're in the middle of Alaska.
You're still in the US of A, lady.
Okay.
Ugh! No.
- You're in your dream world.
- I will wait you out.
I will sit here in the cold all night.
Joel will be here soon.
- I'll wait with Joel.
- As soon as reinforcements come
You can get sick
and wait out here all night long.
You will shoot the flare and lose.
Okay.
Don't leave the raft, Joel!
I'm not.
Dude, they just went
rogue again. Oh my God.
Is that a little heavy for ya?
them.
I'm soaked and beat from yesterday,
and I gotta deal with this nonsense.
Maybe you're afraid.
And maybe Amber's trashing the shit
out of your raft, right now, so
Maybe so.
So, do you go protect your raft,
or do you guard your camp?
You're so weak.
You're so weak.
She's destroying my raft.
The other crazy is at my camp
trying to steal my shit.
Yep.
Why don't you just come across
with us and we can rebuild in peace?
Do you have all your stuff?
I have the most important stuff.
- Okay.
- But
You don't wanna come here?
Up to you,
if you want to put up with that.
I'm not gonna let
some bullies drive me out.
Okay.
- What are you doing now?
- I'm These are mine.
- No, they're not.
- Yes.
This is all mine.
We now probably have
the only working raft in the game.
And it's just been a lot in two days.
What's Javier thinking?
Javier still wants us to come to his camp.
We've already got our stuff across.
Ours is already torn down,
so we might as well.
I don't think so, bro.
Hey, get the off of me, dude!
- Hello!
- Just pulling my rope.
This is mine.
This isn't a game, isn't about survival.
It's about who's the meanest.
Seriously. Like, I'm about done with this.
That's where I am.
- Yep, I've had it.
- I'm done.
I have had it.
So, if you wanna grab the flare guns.
Joel!
Come on over!
When we were standing there
and there was nothing we could do,
it was just like somebody had turned loose
a couple of foxes in the hen house,
and I wasn't even allowed to shoot 'em.
We need to let Javier know
what we're doing.
Yep.
Take it.
We'll see you at the finish line,
you weak-ass mother.
All right, I'm goin'.
- All right.
- Hey, guys.
- Javi, what's up?
- finally welcome here.
Yeah, it's been quite the get,
trying to get up on this.
Yeah.
There we go.
Sorry you've been having to
deal with this stuff.
We've
We think Dawn and I are probably done.
I
We've had about five days
where it just hasn't been
the game we signed up to play.
Um
Just let me say this.
Yeah, please.
I never liked these bullies.
- No
- They win if we quit.
I I thought we would camp
and then, just go there and say,
"We're taking back
those three sleeping bags that you stole."
- Yeah.
- Walk up.
They'll try and get in front of us,
and we take those sleeping bags.
Let's just call it.
Do you not even wanna go down
and do the thing?
- I wanna go out as a bigger person.
- Yep.
- And you can still join Charlie.
- Yep.
Okay.
You're a good man, Javier.
Come here.
Man, I wish that we had time together.
I wish we had more time together too.
You're such a good dude. You're cut
from the same cloth that Dawn and I are.
I hope you win this.
And screw them, if you get a chance.
That'd make Dawn very happy. Uh
You ready?
Yeah, let's go home.
Joel and Dawn
they had enough.
They came here with one vision.
The same vision I had.
But we're up against thieves
and criminals.
- There's a weight off of my chest.
- Yeah.
I didn't like the person that they
were forcing me to become out there.
I'm not going to Alpha Camp.
We're not gonna tear shit apart.
This isn't who we are.
Yeah, baby.
Yes.
It's totally personal now.
You can't let the bullies win.
Get out of bed, sleepyhead.
Make it stop raining.
Good morning, Day 20!
Day 20!
Woo!
Are you ready?
If I was able to join
with Joel and Dawn, we would've rocked it.
So with damn near everybody gone,
the only option I have
is to go across the river
and meet up with the last remaining team
of four and see if they'll have me.
So this morning, I packed my backpack
and also grabbed all my tools
and my sleeping bag.
I'll try to win them over with humor
and then get down to the nitty-gritty
and beg for them to accept me.
This is the bag I'll be carrying
with the essentials,
the slingshot, the kinda hunting shit.
Back at Alpha Camp,
the team talks about Javier's next move.
If he doesn't get on another team today,
rules state that
he'll be forced to leave the game.
What's the plan for today?
We were talking
about Javier's last-ditch effort.
- We need to loot that camp.
- Yeah.
- We need to get there before he gets back.
- True.
If he flares, we need
to get over there before Charlie does.
Yeah, I agree.
Javier will not show his face at Alpha.
Delta's gone.
If Charlie doesn't take him,
he has to shoot his flare.
So, we need to prepare
to get in place to loot the camp.
The circumstances
are just up in the air right now.
It was such a cozy place.
And there's one thing I promise you.
If I'm forced to leave
because of these sociopaths,
I'm gonna take a lot of pride
destroying my home.
Just to make sure
that the demon squad doesn't win.
You don't think he'll come here?
He's not coming.
We gotta go
to game mode real quick.
Yeah, time to get out
and get something.
I do want
all of them to burn, so
they ain't getting my shit.
Okay, I got tinder here.
Jill, Amber, and Justin,
you ain't getting shit.
I'm burning it all down.
You all realize we are 50-50
to win or lose in this game right now.
I don't feel like it's arrogant
to jump it up to say, 65.
Oh, it's picking up speed.
Come on.
I'm not gonna let those idiots live there.
I'll destroy it all and I'll laugh.
This one's heavy.
Oh, yeah!
