60. 2:12Carl in a controversial Act of survival
61. 2:14shot and killed the monkey highlighting
62. 2:16the brutal necessities of jungle life
63. 2:19the mental toll of the journey became
64. 2:21apparent when Carl began acting as the
65. 2:23group's dictator often forcing the wrong
66. 2:25survival tactics on the group the
67. 2:27physical toll was not far behind maros
68. 2:30scham the Swiss teacher developed
69. 2:32painful open sores on his feet making
70. 2:34every step an excruciating ordeal the
71. 2:37dynamic within the group began to shift

73. 2:41ahead to seek contact with the tribe
74. 2:44while he stayed behind with Marcos this
75. 2:46proposal instead SED the seeds of
76. 2:48Discord as Kevin opted to travel further
77. 2:50on the raft for marcos's sake they
78. 2:52agreed and returned to the river however

80. 2:57up ahead the San Pedro Falls that that
81. 2:59they would have to navigate around on
82. 3:01foot this was yet another demand that

84. 3:06they'd have a better chance at survival
85. 3:07without Carl's tyranny and marcos's
86. 3:09injury and convinced Yosi to join him to

132. 4:56profound sense of responsibility for
133. 4:58Yosi being there in the first place the
134. 5:00canyon that separated them was a
135. 5:02constant reminder of the daunting task

146. 5:28broken branches he shown his flashlight
147. 5:30into the void and came upon the giant
148. 5:32face of a Jaguar only feet from him its
149. 5:35eyes glinting with predatory intent with
150. 5:38no weapons at his disposal Yosi quickly
151. 5:41grabbed his lighter and insect repellent
152. 5:43from the life bag and like an action
153. 5:44movie created a makeshift flamethrower
154. 5:47to scare off the terrifying Beast he'd
155. 5:49spend the rest of the night screaming
156. 5:51and crying in a mix of
157. 5:53emotions meanwhile Kevin Gail's
158. 5:55determination to find Yosi was
159. 5:57overshadowed by his need for survival he
160. 6:00grabbed onto a piece of Driftwood and
161. 6:02let the current take him down the river
162. 6:04in the midst of his solitary battle
163. 6:06against the elements Yosi Ginsburg
164. 6:08stumbled Upon A glimmer of hope a map in
165. 6:10the Life bag that hinted at the
166. 6:12existence of a gold mining camp a place
167. 6:14Carl had mentioned could be a beacon of
168. 6:16safety fueled by the prospect of finding
169. 6:18a way out yosi's spirits lifted he began
170. 6:21to sing a rare sound of joy in this
171. 6:24oppressive living nightmare as he
172. 6:26navigated through the dense underbrush
173. 6:28he discovered machete bars on trees a
174. 6:30sign he believed could only have been
175. 6:32left by Kevin this discovery spurred him
176. 6:35on injecting a new found energy into his
177. 6:37steps however the jungle is a realm of
178. 6:40Illusions and yosi's hope was soon
179. 6:42shattered after hours of following what
180. 6:44he thought was Kevin's Trail he found a
181. 6:46footprint in the mud for a moment relief
182. 6:49washed over him thinking he was close to
183. 6:51reuniting with his friend the harsh
184. 6:53reality hit when he realized the
185. 6:55footprint was his own circling back to
186. 6:57where he had started
187. 7:02days later in critical condition
188. 7:04drifting aimlessly on the river Kevin
189. 7:06Gail's situation took a miraculous turn
190. 7:08when he spotted a canoe in the distance
191. 7:11too weak to call out he could only
192. 7:13signal with the last of his strength the
193. 7:15people in the canoe beckoned him over
194. 7:17and were quick to give him food and
195. 7:19safety knowing his nightmare had finally
196. 7:21ended he refocused on finding Yosi
197. 7:24consumed by a sense of responsibility
198. 7:27Kevin's efforts led him to a Bolivian
199. 7:29Army base where he implored the soldiers
200. 7:31to Aid in the search for Yosi however
201. 7:33the vastness of the Amazon made it
202. 7:35impossible to spot anyone from the plane
203. 7:38and on the ground Yosi could hear the
204. 7:40planes knowing there was no way to make
205. 7:42contact a cruel fate that drove him
206. 7:44deeper into hopelessness yosi's decision
