-Damn! -Lured by the pythons...
I'm coming for you, Nessie. You hear me?
The hunters go on the offensive...
-Oh! -Aah!
Taking on bigger risks...
-I like solo hunting. Aah! -Tes!
Assuming more danger...
Oh, [bleep]. Aah!
Huge, huge frickin' snake.
Following dead ends...
I'm not gonna stop until I find them.
Watch out for the rattles.
And just maybe...
-Come on. -Falling...
-Snake! -..into a trap.
Two months into python season,
veteran snake hunter Bill Booth
is doing some necessary repairs.
This looks like it's gonna take a minute.
It might. The fuel line's leaking. I know that much.
I just wanna get a backup, you know,
in case we have issues with this one.
It's always nice to have a backup plan,
and I've been working on the spare buggy.
I wanna get that running.
The other one, it's had a rough season,
and things break.
Well, if you're cool with it,
then I'll just head out
in, you know, maybe a couple of hours.
All right. Just don't break old Bessie,
'cause that's all we got right now
until I get this thing going.
Yeah, well, I'll holler if I need you.
Be careful.
Okay.
While Bill works on the buggy, Tes heads off on her own
and has challenged herself
to catch four snakes by sundown.
I'll be honest.
I'm a little bit nervous, you know.
But I'm also confident in everything that I've learned.
Shoot, there's one.
God, this thing is moving.
Man, this is gonna be a pain in my butt.
I could really use Bill right now.
Shoot.
Come on down.
I gotta get you down.
I better be careful about how I pull him out of here.
God, this guy is strong.
I gotta get his tail.
Aah!
God, these things are quick.
Aah!
Man!
Gol.
Dang, this is a good size one.
It's a lot easier when Bill's here.
This tree-climbing python
is a good start for Tes's solo hunt.
There's a massive benefit to hunting with a partner.
However, I love being able to challenge myself
and test my skills and what I've learned.
Proud to take this back to Bill.
He'll be happy to see I'm learning his ways.
Further east...
Oh, Lordy.
Nobody might not come back here for a couple of days.
After unexpected buggy trouble,
King of the Swamp Troy Landry and his partner Pickle Wheat
are heading back on foot...
What's that, Pee-wee?
Ha ha! What's the chances?
...when they catch a break.
Hey! [laughs]
Hey, what happened, guys?
-Are you guys okay? -No!
You guys need a ride? Hop on.
Yes, sir.
Oh! We never been so happy to see you.
Pee-wee and I broke down,
and we hitched a ride with Mr. John,
one of the old-timers in this area.
Look at this. Boy, I got a nice seat back here.
Yeah, hell, yeah, Pee-wee.
No wet feet.
I think he been having a camp back there since the sixties.
In the past, he's told us of a lot of places
that we need to go look for snakes.
You know where they killed the biggest snake?
-You ever heard of it? -No.
There's a place over there called Smallpox Tommies.
See, it's on the other side of the levee
where the water's deep.
You have to have an airboat.
Okay.
If there's a deep watering hole over there,
Pee-wee and I might go look for some snakes.
There's a ton of snakes out there.
Mr. John was telling us about a place
that he used to go a lot.
And he said when everything else is dry,
this place still has a foot to a foot and a half of water.
That's the kind of place we looking for.
-Oh, I'd like to go there. -Yeah.
You can only get to it by airboat?
Only by airboat, yeah.
And what's that again? What's it called?
Smallpox Tommies.
-Okay. -Smallpox Tommies.
Be careful out there.
Some of those folks can get pretty territorial.
I don't know how the place got the name Smallpox Tommies,
but if they got snakes there,
if they got deep water there, I'm going.
I don't care what they call it, I'm going.
Thanks for the tip.
Be careful if you go out there, though.
To the west...
Riley, we're gonna catch this frickin' monster, son.
We're gonna catch Nessie.
Veteran hunter Dusty Crum is on a mission
to catch the biggest python he's ever seen around his camp.
Old Nessie, boy.
Huge, huge frickin' snake.
Every year I've seen it.
It's like the frickin' legend, you know,
the Loch Ness Monster.
Everything's got its time.
Maybe this is the year I catch Nessie.
The current conditions in the swamp
have convinced Dusty that Nessie may be close.
Come on, Riley, let's keep pushing.
If there's any snake around here,
he's gonna be hanging close to water.
Everything's drying up. The swamp's drying up.
There's just little bodies of water,
you know, here and there,
and that's what the big snakes are going to,
and that's what I'm looking for.
[barks] Wait, Riley!
Riley.
Hang on, Ri. Daddy's coming.
Holy cow.
Good girl, Ri.
Aah!
Oh, Ri, it's in there.
Hang on, Ri.
Get out of there.
Oh! No, no, no.
Come on, come on.
[grunts]
Come on, snake.
What the heck?
Man, that sucker's in there.
Come on.
Come on. Almost got you.
Get out of there. Oh.
Whoa.
You made me work for that one, boy.
Whoo! This ain't Nessie.
This is still a big, strong snake.
This stubborn six-footer is worth $200,
but it's a far cry from the monster Dusty's after.
If I see her, she's caught, son.
I just need to put my eyes on her.
All right, Ri, we gonna keep looking for the big one.
Old Nessie.
Whoo-hoo!
46 miles north...
I think it'd be better if we take these kayaks.
Veteran hunter Bruce Mitchell and his partner Zak Catchem
aim to reach a python hotspot surrounded by danger.
If we paddle upstream,
I think we'll make it all the way around the rattlesnakes.
Yeah.
We're headed to a great snake spot by Viper Alley
where there's a ton of moccasins and rattlesnakes.
The rattlesnakes are not something I wanna deal with.
Thick with palmettos and oak,
the northern Glades are a perfect habitat
for a number of vipers,
including the deadly diamondback rattlesnake.
I'll tell you what, Brucie, this is pretty nice.
Yup.
I'd rather paddle for a few more hours
than walk through those rattlesnakes.
Yeah, I ain't doing that again.
Mm-mm.
We come here last year,
and I wound up making some chaps for him,
or snake chaps, whatever you call them,
out of palmetto bushes.
I think it kind of saved Zak.
-Aah! -You all right?
No. He bit me!
I don't see nothin'.
I think I'm good, Bruce.
Your guards were on, wasn't they?
Yeah.
I'm glad you had them on.
I got bad news, Brucie.
I don't see any way we can get our kayaks through.
This tree is down, and...
Damn.
I guess we're gonna have to get out here, and let's go hunt.
We're gonna grab these kayaks and walk them through the swamp.
See if we can get around to the other side
where we can continue to paddle them.
I think I'm gonna go through this way.
Look how many downed trees there are.
We have to, dude.
Another one, another one, another one.
-Lord have mercy. -Damn.
Come on. Let's go through here best we can.
Look everywhere, man, because the snakes could be anywhere.
It's tight in here, man.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[hissing]
Got a rattlesnake.
We need to get out of this area and move--
Yeah, let's go.
Oh, I don't know about this, Zak.
Zak, snake!
-Be careful! -Right over here.
-Come on. -What kind? What kind?
-A python? -Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
His head's up here.
Oh, my God, it's a big one.
Watch it, watch it, watch it.
Stretch him out, stretch him out, Brucie.
I'm trying to. He won't. Aah!
Oh, my God, Bruce, hold on, hold on.
Take him that way, that way, that way, that way.
That's a lot of length on this bad boy.
Aah!
Damn, damn, Bruce.
Freakin' A.
Stretch him out, Bruce.
Zak, you gonna get bit!
Whoa!
No, I'm not.
Go ahead. Bruce, grab him. He's right there for you.
Now, Bruce, now, Bruce!
-I got him. -There you go.
Whoo! Ooh!
-That sucker big, ain't he? -Yeah, that's a massive snake.
This beast is a welcome catch,
but the hunters are eager to get through Viper Alley
as quickly as possible.
Ready? One, two, three,
He's yours.
God, dude.
Now we gotta carry this bad boy and our kayaks.
We found a solid snake, but I'm always looking over my shoulder.
There could be a rattler, or even worse, a water moccasin
that doesn't even give you a warning.
We're gonna keep on heading down this trail
and really try to be careful.
-You're good? -Yeah.
All right. Come on. Our kayaks are back there.
Yup.
Further east...
That's it, I guarantee you.
That's where he was talking about.
I know.
Troy and Pickle have borrowed an airboat
to reach the hotspot they were told about.
The way the old man was telling us,
he's been hearing reports
of people catching a lotta, lotta snakes in that area.
So, you know, I think the snakes follow the water.
Wherever the water goes, they go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
That's a boat.
Where the hell they going?
They hauling ass.
People around here, they're real friendly
and everybody waves back,
and so that was kind of-- took me back for a second.
That wasn't normal behavior
for being out here in the Everglades.
We're gonna stop right here, Pee-wee.
We're gonna stop right here.
Look at all the trails they got.
Okay.
I hope it's as good as he says.
It's hard enough to get down there?
Yeah, we're good.
Hey, oh, oh, wait for me.
-Yeah. -Just wait for me, okay?
I'm just looking.
They might have snakes out here
bigger than me and you put together.
We're gonna have to go right through all this tall crap.
Listen, let's stay close together in here, okay?
Stay close together.
Oh, look at the trails.
Oh, Pee-wee, Pee-wee! Pee-wee!
Oh, look-a here.
Look at the size of that thing.
This is a money snake here.
We did lose him quick in the water like this, huh?
Oh, [bleep].
-Whoo-hoo! -Ooh, where she's at?
Right in here, right in here. I see the head.
Coming out over here, I see the head.
Give me some more. Oh, Lord.
Don't let him go in there.
Oh! He almost got me. Damn.
Y'all right?
Tried to pull him out of there.
I can't see the head.
Oh, she's coming back this way.
I can see her head right there.
-Where? -Right here.
-She's coming back. -Oh, I'm about to grab.
No. Watch out.
Aah! Watch him, Pee-wee, watch him.
We gotta change the plans here. You grab her.
Ooh, be careful.
All right, that's your chance.
Now he's looking at me, and he knows I got his tail.
Ay, ooh-hoo-hoo.
-I got her attention. -Y'all ready?
Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
Whoo! Good job, Pee-wee.
-You got it? -Yeah.
She's trying to get me.
-One, two, three! -Three!
[laughs]
This eight-footer confirms this could be a possible honey hole.
[engine revs] What is that?
I hear an airboat.
Oh, Pee-wee, the boat!
Oh-yi-yi!
What you did with the snake?
-Oh, [bleep], I dropped the bag. -You dropped the snake?
We'll go back and get it. We gotta go back anyway.
What the hell, dude?
I know I pulled that boat up all the way on the bank.
I had drove my boat on the bank far.
I was kinda worried
I was gonna have trouble to get it off the bank.
Lucky the wind was kinda keeping it
against the bank a little bit,
but something pulled it off of the bank.
That's that airboat we heard.
You think they untied it or pushed it off?
They pushed it off. I never tied it up to start with,
but they pushed it off.
Damn, dude. Gol.
How far in you left the bag?
I don't know. Back there.
Whenever I saw the boat drifting.
Right when you saw the boat? Okay, all right.
Let's go get the bag.
Further south,
Tes is looking for the second of the four pythons
she wants to capture on her first solo hunt.
It's cool to be able to apply
everything that you've been taught
and really challenge yourself, you know,
and think for yourself.
[grinding]
I'm afraid it might be overheating.
Bill told me to keep an eye on it,
and it looks like it's way up.
Just look for any of the obvious damage,
horrible chemical smells,
spewing fluids.
[engine won't start]
Probably be best if I just let her cool off.
I can just hunt this area in the meanwhile.
I just need to keep my head on straight
and focus on the task.
I'm gonna give it another hour.
Just keep looking. They're out here.
I mean, this weather is perfect and they're moving.
No way!
Bill's not gonna believe this.
God, these things are camouflaged so well,
it is ridiculous.
Thank God I caught you reflecting in the sunlight.
His eyes are all hazy.
This little guy's quick.
He's like in the middle of a shed.
He's shedding all over my hands.
With her second python bagged,
Tes has accomplished half her goal,
but she's only got a couple of hours of daylight left.
Probably just gonna keep going if I can.
I'm catching snakes. There's no reason to go back.
I mean, I'll just carry on for a little bit longer.
Up north, Bruce and Zak have left Viper Alley behind
and paddled towards a python honey hole.
It's nice to get past Viper Alley.
Yup.
We're just getting out of Viper Alley.
We're gonna keep on going.
Hopefully we can catch more snakes.
I hope we ain't gotta pull these kayaks no more.
No rattlesnakes.
I'll paddle as hard as I possibly can.
I wish every snake spot had a river like this.
Can we get around there?
-Yeah. -Okay.
I'm coming.
All right.
Here we go, baby.
It's looking good up here.
Ready to get out and go do a little walking?
Yeah.
We're gonna find some snakes.
Let's go hunt.
I'm with you, buddy. I'm right here.
Whoa, Zak, snake!
Zak, get over here!
Be careful, you're gonna get hit.
Oh, he's watching me now.
Pull him back, pull him back!
Come on, Bruce.
Back him up, back him up.
Aah!
Come on!
Damn!
Uh-uh, uh-uh. Got it?
Yeah, we got him cornered now. He's slowing down.
You best be careful, buddy.
Whoa!
Got him.
God, this thing.
Whoa!
Dude, you almost got it.
Yeah, almost got it to the face.
Gotta get him over this way.
Here I am. Come on. Come on, big boy.
Aah! Whoa!
-There it is, dude. There it is. -You got him?
-Yup. -Whew!
-Good job. -Dude.
It looks like this is paying off already, ain't it?
Uh-huh.
Better than a rattlesnake.
Yeah.
And it pays more, too. Come on.
Bam! Got it in the bag.
I'm pumped. I'm ready to go catch more.
-Come on. -All right.
Back south...
Hey, Ri.
We gotta keep going
because we need to find some more water.
Dusty's searching water holes around his camp
for a python he's named Nessie.
These snakes, they ain't gonna go that far from water, son.
They know the water equals food equals safety equals life.
[Riley barks]
What is it, Ri?
[Riley continues barking]
Hang on, Ri, hang on, Ri.
Riley, Riley, it's in the water, watch it.
Ri, Ri, Ri.
Watch it, Ri.
Oh! Watch it, watch it, Ri.
Get back, get back, get back.
I don't know where it's at. Hang on, Ri.
Hang on, hang on. There it is.
[barking]
Don't get too close, Riley, he'll get you.
You don't know where it's at.
Aah! Got it!
Got it, Ri.
Whoo! Yeah, baby, yeah.
I got it, Ri.
Oh, yeah.
Caught snake, Ri, caught snake.
Whoo! Yeah, baby.
Told you, Ri, it's all about the water holes.
While Dusty's water hole strategy is yielding results,
this is not the monster he's after.
Whoo-ooh.
This ain't old Nessie, son.
Come on, Ri. Let's go find Nessie.
Let's go to the next water hole.
Where you at, Nessie? I'm coming for you.
Back at camp, Bill is fixing his backup buggy.
Got a fuel line that's leaking.
Maybe I can find a patch for it.
We're already a couple hours into this repair project,
and Tes isn't back yet.
I'm gonna give her another 30, 40 minutes,
and then I need to start heading out there.
Because sunset will be pretty soon,
and I just don't want her getting stuck out there.
And then when it gets dark, it's even harder to find her.
In the heart of the Everglades...
Troy and Pickle hunt in a snake-infested area
called Smallpox Tommies.
I'm gonna tell you, there's snakes in this area.
And if there's three or four hunters
that's been in here catching snakes,
they most probably making a ton of money.
-Pee-wee. -Huh?
I think if we split up, we should be able to catch more.
-You see them islands? -Yeah.
You walk to this little island.
I'll meet you at the big island.
I'm gonna hit all this dirty stuff right here,
and I'll meet you over there, okay?
Okay, so I'm going this way?
Just don't lose sight of them little islands.
Just stay--hey, stay where you can see me or hear me.
Holler at me every once in a while.
We're not really familiar with the area.
We found a bunch of snake trails in this one little spot,
and we're really getting on them over here, so I'm excited.
Ooh, it's nasty in here, huh?
Yeah. There's a lot of water in here.
Snake!
Oh, my God, he's huge.
Ooh!
Man, it's such a pain catching these things by yourself.
It's a scary thing when you stare 'em down.
You and the snake lock eyes.
It's not a fun... fun place to be.
Look here. Aah!
Dancing with the Devil.
Come here, you.
Ooh, ooh. Uh-uh.
Come here. Ooh!
Ooh, almost got me. You almost got me.
Ooh, you a feisty little thing.
This is the hardest part.
This eight-footer is their fifth python
in just a few hours,
bringing their haul to more than $1,400.
I think I'm getting pretty good at this.
I got this massive snake that I caught by myself,
and all of a sudden...
[engine revs]
That's an airboat.
I hear this one airboat in the distance,
and they're super loud.
-Dude, you hear that? -Yeah, Pee-wee.
That's that boat. That's that boat again.
Oh, that's that frickin' airboat.
[engine revs]
In the thick of the Glades...
I didn't get to see who it was.
I don't know who that is.
Look at this [bleep].
"You are not welcome here." Uh-oh.
Why I'm not welcome here, because I'm an outsider
or because I'm hunting the same area you hunting?
These guys might be making good money
in this area catching snakes,
and they just don't want us stepping on their toes.
He's trying to get us away from here.
But I tell you what we do with that.
We throw that [bleep] over there
-and we catching snakes. -No, listen, listen.
-What? -Come here. No, no, no.
You gotta respect the local people.
Somebody don't like the idea we here.
They pushed our boat out earlier.
Now they leave us a little note, we not welcome.
So for the rest day, we'll move to another island somewhere.
Let's go get our snakes,
and we're just gonna move islands for this evening,
-for the rest of the day. -All right.
If they would stay by our boat
and wait for us where we could have a talk,
you know, man to man talk,
maybe they don't want us here, we'll move.
But we can't talk to them.
If we could talk to them,
we could figure out what's their problem, you know?
Let's get the hell outta here.
Four miles away,
Tes has bagged three of the four pythons
she wanted to capture before nightfall.
But it's time to head back to camp.
Ali right, see if this starts.
[engine won't start]
Oh, great.
[bleep].
I thought it might've cooled down a little bit,
but it's just not sounding right.
I'm not gonna push it.
I can sit here and wait,
or I can just get out and walk back.
I'd say it's probably,
I don't know, three, four miles away.
Task at hand is to hopefully
not spend the night solo in the woods.
As night falls over the Everglades...
Bruce.
What you got, man?
A million places for a snake to hide.
Bruce and Zak hunt the honey hole behind Viper Alley.
Check all this out, Bruce. Come here.
Looks like a stampede came through here.
Maybe a flood.
That's probably what it was.
Yup.
Flood waters pushed all this junk up here, huh?
Knocked these big trees down and crap, yup.
We're still not too far away from the river.
Bruce and I are pushing down every tree, throwing away logs.
I'm just happy that we're out here.
We're gonna have to take our time,
because there's no running through here.
Stuff laying everywhere.
Everything looks like a snake, too.
I know, man, it's crazy.
This is where they like to lay up in.
Aah, damn!
There's a snake right here, man.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
I got the tail, man.
Come on.
Don't let him get up in that stuff again.
Back him up, back him up, pull him back.
-Whoa! -He's pissed!
Aah!
Whoa!
Come on.
-Whoa! -Be careful.
Wear him down, wear him down.
I got his tail.
Can you grab him in the air? Grab him!
-Grab him! -Mouth's open, dude.
Got him!
Oh, dude, that's a good one in the air.
Never seen that before.
Not too bad.
Good teamwork, buddy.
It's paying off what we're doing.
We're catching snakes, ain't we?
This serpent makes number nine for the day.
I got it.
Dude. [laughs]
Well, you know what this means.
What?
We got a lot of carrying to do.
Yeah.
Let's go load up them kayaks.
Yeah, I don't wanna overdo it.
You know what I mean?
Well, we're catching snakes. That's the main thing.
Another snake in the bag, a pretty decent size one.
Not the biggest I've ever caught,
but, hey, that's another snake out of the Everglades,
and I'm happy about it.
We made a lot of money coming back here.
We're gonna head on home and count our blessings.
All right, come on.
Man.
Out west...
Oh. That's it for me.
Dusty has been catching snakes all day,
but he's ready to give up looking for Nessie.
Oh, man.
Frickin' long day.
I'm frickin' worn out, son.
I been circling this place like a hawk,
checking every nook and cranny.
A big snake like that
can disappear in the grass, under water.
It knows how to hide.
Oh! Snake!
My body wanted to run from it, son,
but my mind was telling me you ain't seeing what you're seeing.
You gotta look at this frickin' thing.
And it's just like battle frickin' royal underwater
with the snake.
Aah. Come on, girl.
Whoo, boy!
[grunting]
Ah!
[grunting]
Ah! I gotcha.
Whoo! I gotcha, son.
I gotcha, old Nessie.
Measuring over 12 feet,
this is one of the largest snakes Dusty has ever captured,
and it's worth $500,
a perfect way to end the day.
Whew.
Just a matter of time, son, just a matter of time.
Tonight was a night, son. We got old Nessie.
Whoo!
This is a huge, huge win.
It's gonna stop future generations, man.
That's a big female egg layer, son.
Come on, big girl, we're going in the house.
Whoo!
31 miles east,
Troy and Pickle have moved islands
after an ominous message
from what Troy suspects are rival python hunters.
Look how nasty it is.
I mean, we could step on a snake in here before we see it.
Evidently, we landed into somebody's hotspot.
These boys have most probably been here for a while,
and the last thing they wanna see
is somebody from out of town moving in on their turf.
So just to be safe, we moved to a different island.
Pee-wee, Pee-wee, Pee-wee!
-Snake, snake! -You see one?
Oh, Lord have mercy.
Pee-wee, watch it. This is a big one.
Don't let him get in that grass.
Pull him out. Don't let him go in.
Don't let him get in that grass whatever you do.
Ay-yi-yi!
That's a big snake.
He's looking right at me.
-Aah! -Aah!
Damn!
Look how he disappears in that grass.
Get him over that way. I'll grab him out.
[Troy laughs]
Whoo! Good job, Pee-wee, good job. You got him?
Yeah, that was a lefthanded one there.
Pee-wee, what you doing?
You almost let that thing bite me.
No, I ain't gonna let him get you.
Good catch, baby girl, good catch.
If he would've got in this tall grass,
we would've never seen him in three seconds.
He'd have disappeared in three seconds.
Oh, my God, my arms are weak from catching 'em today.
Oh, we done caught some snakes today, huh?
This invasive python is their sixth for the day...
Two, three!
...and Troy and Pickle are ready to pack it in.
We got a bunch today, that's for sure.
-We caught a bunch of snakes. -You hear that?
Huh? [engine revs]
-You hear that? -That's them airboats.
That's them airboats.
Sounds like they by our boat.
That's about where we parked it.
Yeah, we got a boatload of snakes over there.
You know how much money we got sitting in that boat?
[engine revs] What the hell, Pee-wee?
What the-- [engine revs]
I hope they didn't mess with our damn boat.
Dude, I don't know, man.
On an island in the heart of the Glades...
Who the hell is that?
Let's get outta here.
Come on, come on.
It's just me and Mr. Troy out here,
and we out in the middle of nowhere on this island,
and it's little nerve-wracking.
I got enough.
I'm getting too old
to be fighting with people in the woods
and arguing with people.
I would love to just have a man-to-man talk with them.
You know, we could reason, but we gonna move,
and we gonna try to regroup tonight.
Them sons of bitches are nuts. Let's get outta here.
Meanwhile...
The deeper side's on the left, Brucie.
Beats the hell out of walking with all this, don't it?
Hell, yeah, it does.
Bruce and Zak begin the long journey back
with a boatload of snakes.
You watching for logs and stumps and alligators?
I'm trying.
You gotta be careful.
If you get sideways, it's gonna flip you.
Bruce! There's a snake, man!
There's a snake! Come on.
Whoa!
Golly!
Come on!
Bruce, you good?
Bruce, I got a snake right here, man.
You need my help or not?
No, go ahead, I got this. Damn!
Dude, don't lose our money. Aah!
Grab our snakes, man. I can't help you.
Aah!
It's a lively one, man.
Aah!
Damn.
Oh!
-You got him? -Yeah, I got him.
[exhales sharply]
Whew!
-What happened there? -Huh?
-What happened? -I hit a log or something.
Something bumped the boat, and I just flipped.
Whew!
This beast makes 10.
Bruce and Zak know they're lucky to have survived
another voyage through Viper Alley.
We caught a nice heap full of snakes out here today,
and I thought the night was over.
But, you know, if I see a python out here in my Everglades,
I'm grabbing that thing out one way or another.
I'm not just gonna let him slither away
after I had eyes on him.
You coming or what?
I barely have room for my feet in this thing, dude.
We're stacked up.
61 miles away, Tes navigates her way back to Bill's camp.
Pretty sure I'm going the right way.
Hopefully head back in the same direction that I came from.
I know where those roads intersect,
and just wanted to cut through the middle
to kind of save myself some time.
I make calculated moves
so that I'm not, you know, spinning myself around.
I can't say that I'm a master at it,
but I'm also well-versed in navigating through the woods.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh!
I can't believe this.
Man.
Unh!
Oh! He's looking right at me.
Oh! I gotta try to wear him out
so I can get him in this bag.
I gotta do it quick.
Whew!
Tes has achieved her goal.
I've been out here way too long.
Really need to find Bill.
Tes, where are you?
I'm right here.
Where in the hell have you been?
[chuckles] I scare you a little?
A little.
Yeah, I found the buggy out there,
and it worried the hell out of me.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
None of that really went to plan.
I've been out in these woods all my life,
and it's easy to get turned around.
Every cypress tree out here looks the same in the dark,
and it didn't seem to faze her.
How come you didn't stay with the buggy?
I know where I'm going.
I know where the roads are intersecting,
and I was able to walk through it.
I pay attention when I--
Well, it scared me.
I don't want anything to happen to you.
-I need you. -I know, I know.
I really feel like I've been able to apply
a lot that Bill has taught me,
and it just proves
that, you know, the education that he's given me,
I've absorbed it and I can be kind of proud.
-I got some snakes. -I see that.
