10
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: We're going down.

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, hang on a second. Let's know where

12
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 4: the story starts, shesh. Let me explain what's going on

13
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 4: first before we get to the plane crash. All right,

14
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 4: so you've probably heard of me. Lots of people have

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 4: Miles the Brave, Miles, the courageous Miles, the fantastically fearless. Okay,

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 4: so I made that last one up. But people really

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: do call me Miles the Brave ever since I became

18
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 4: an official Critter Protector. Super awesome job, by the way,

19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: very exciting. Everyone thinks I'm like the bravest guy ever.

20
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: The thing is people didn't always call me Miles the Brave. Actually,

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: my very first nickname was a lot different. If I

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: tell it to you, do you promise not to laugh.

23
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: It was Miles the scaredy Cat. I really don't think

24
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: I did anything to deserve a nickname that bad. I mean,

25
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: one time, you don't jump off the big diving board

26
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: with your friends and suddenly everyone's all.

27
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 5: Ooh, look at my scaredy cat. He's afraid of everything.

28
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: Well that's just not true, at least not anymore. Okay,

29
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 5: so maybe I used to be afraid of a few things,

30
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 5: not very many things, just stuff like heights and the dark,

31
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: and fire and loud noises and the occasional bird, snake

32
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 5: or hamster.

33
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 4: Anyway, that was the old me. I'm here to tell

34
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: you about how I got my real nickname. I had

35
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: to face a lot of my fears, well basically all

36
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: of my fears, and it all started with a family vacation.

37
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: That might not sound that crazy, but then again, I

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: bet your family vacations don't mean going on a safari

39
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 4: to some hot jungle country in the middle of nowhere. Yeah,

40
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: did I mention Both of my parents are scientists. My

41
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: mom is a zoologist, which means she studies animals, and

42
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: my dad is a geologist, so he studies rocks and

43
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: the earth and stuff. So they wanted to go on

44
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: some big trip where there was supposed to be some

45
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 4: really rare animals and gemstones.

46
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: There.

47
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: I was packing my bags thinking we were going to

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 4: the be you're an amusement park or something cool like that.

49
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 4: Then my mom poked her head in my room to

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 4: break the news to me. I'll tell you the whole

51
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: story from the beginning. Okay, okay, So there's my swim trunks,

52
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 4: my switch, my books, a couple of snacks, my walkie watch.

53
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 6: Miles, what are you packing a bathing suit for? And

54
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: is that you're a Nintendo switch? You won't need those.

55
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 6: We're going on a safari.

56
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: Why, mom? A safari That sounds like some kind of

57
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: Pokemon or something.

58
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 6: Oh no, you'll love it. It's the most amazing kind

59
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 6: of trip. We're going to go to a jungle way

60
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 6: down south, with land and habitats that have never really

61
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 6: been explored by people. We might even find a scarlet

62
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 6: spotted shitta.

63
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: Can that be incredible?

64
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 6: You're going to have the best time.

65
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: Not explored by people, meaning there's no beach, no roller coasters. Wait,

66
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: what are we supposed to eat if there's not even

67
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: a McDonald's out there?

68
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: She just laughed and walked away.

69
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: I guess she thought I was kidding, and just between

70
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: you and me, I was not kidding. I mean, does

71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: that sound like a fun vacation to you? I went

72
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 4: to choke with my dad just to see if maybe

73
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: Mom had told me that just so they could surprise

74
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: me with the real vacation. I carried my bag into

75
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 4: the garage to ask him, But when I saw him

76
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 4: packing a tent and some sleeping bags.

77
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: That's when I got worried.

78
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 4: Hey, uh, Dad, Mom said we're going on something called

79
00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: a Fessari. She's joking, right, I think.

80
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, me and a Safari, And why would she be

81
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 7: joking about that. We're gonna have so much fun, and

82
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 7: I think there's a good chance we'll find some legendary

83
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 7: solar diamonds. I know no one thinks they exist, but

84
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 7: I have a good feeling. Why do you have your

85
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 7: bathing suit packed?

86
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: I guess you can figure how it went from there.

87
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: I tried for like an hour to convince them that

88
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 4: Universal Studios or six Flags would be way better, but

89
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: nothing worked, and soon we had packed every piece of

90
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 4: camping gear I think has ever existed in the world,

91
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 4: got into our car, drove to the airport, flew for

92
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: what felt like three days to some super hot country,

93
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 4: and before I knew it, we were standing on some

94
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 4: dirt and gravel road in the middle of nowhere. I'm

95
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: not joking about that. I'm almost positive this place doesn't

96
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 4: even have a name. And I was doing okay until

97
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 4: I saw a sign next to the dirt. That's when

98
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 4: I got really nervous. Hey, uh, Dad, why does that

99
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: sign say airport? This is more like a walking trail.

100
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 7: Because miles, we're not done flying yet. Now we get

101
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 7: to go on a really special plane.

102
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: It's right over there.

103
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: Dad, that's not a plane that looks like a toaster

104
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: with wings. Seriously, I can see rust on it from here.

105
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 4: You're kidding, right. For the second time that day, I

106
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: learned my parents were not kidding. We got into this tiny,

107
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 4: itty bitty plane that barely held the three of us,

108
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: all of our gear, and some pilot who clearly hadn't

109
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: taken a shower since like ever, and then we took off.

110
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 4: I was hoping the plane wouldn't even be able to

111
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 4: get off the ground, but apparently this day wasn't quite

112
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 4: done disappointing me. Interesting stories so far huh. Well, remember

113
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: at the beginning when you heard what sounded like a

114
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 4: plane going down. Yeah, we're almost to that part. Listen

115
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: to what happened next.

116
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: Miles. You're doing okay, son, you're not really, Dad.

117
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 4: I don't think this thing is going to stay in

118
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: the air much longer.

119
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: Oh sure, well, honey, don't worry. Just you wait and see.

120
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: This will be the best adventure you've ever had. What

121
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: was that? Hey, it sounded like the engine died for

122
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: a second.

123
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 6: These old Bush planes do stuff.

124
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: Like that all the time, all the time.

125
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: Huh But well that's twice and ten seconds.

126
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: Miles. You gotta calm down, buddy. We'll be fine.

127
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: Mom, Dad, everyone hang on grace yourselves.

128
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 3: We're going down. I daddy, Roger, the pilot just jumped down.

129
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: Why would he do that? I don't know. He was

130
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: wearing a parachute. I don't think there's any other parachutes

131
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: in here, you know.

132
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: I should probably tell you guys something just in case

133
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 4: we don't make it out of this.

134
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: We're going to make it.

135
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 6: We're all going to be fine.

136
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: It's still I just want to say, remember last year

137
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: when the lawnmower broke down and we had to get

138
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: a new one.

139
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 3: What about it?

140
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 4: Well, I was mowing the yard and ran out of gas,

141
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: and I was trying to get it done because Ultimate

142
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: Power and Ninjas was coming on and I didn't want

143
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: to miss it. But I couldn't find the gas container,

144
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 4: so I thought putting some olive oil in the mower's

145
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 4: gas tank might give it just enough juice to let

146
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: me finish cutting the grass.

147
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 7: You did, what put all boil on the gas take

148
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 7: That's why I.

149
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: Had to replace it.

150
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: I don't think this is the right time to get

151
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 4: into this roger, right.

152
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 3: We'll talk about this later, son, that difind of my

153
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: whole point.

154
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 4: I'm not sure there is going to be a later

155
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: time you too.

156
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: This is.

157
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: I don't remember much of the actual crash. I just

158
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: remember it being super loud and really scary. Of course,

159
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: I got knocked on the head pretty hard, and the

160
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 4: next thing I clearly remember is waking up to tons

161
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: of monkeys and birds screeching. My head was propped up

162
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 4: on my backpack. My mom and dad saw I was

163
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 4: knocked out but basically okay, so they had just made

164
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: me comfortable. When I opened my eyes and they were

165
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 4: standing next to the plane holding a map and arguing

166
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 4: about where we.

167
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 6: Were, Roger, we can't be too far from the campsite,

168
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 6: can we? Shouldn't we just walk in that direction?

169
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Look here, Rachel. This shows a

170
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 3: river and a large mountain next to the.

171
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 7: Campsite, and I don't see anything like that around here.

172
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 3: When I find our pilot.

173
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 6: Isn't it strange that he jumped out so quickly. It's

174
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 6: almost like he knew the plane was going to crash no.

175
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: Matter what he did.

176
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 7: Well, I don't think I would go that far, but

177
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 7: I certainly intend to have a word with him when

178
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 7: we see him.

179
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 4: Can someone turn off the monkeys squeeze?

180
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: Oh Miles, how are you feeling?

181
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: Remember when I snuck out of my room on my

182
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 4: fifth birthday and my entire birthday cake? I I feel

183
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 4: kind of like that. My head hurts, I feel dizzy,

184
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 4: and I might just throw up.

185
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 7: I don't think any of us feels too good right

186
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 7: about now, but it's good to see you up in

187
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 7: a bout now about that lawnmower, Roger, Sorry, just trying

188
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 7: to lighten the mood.

189
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: Don't worry about the lawnmower. Son.

190
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: After that, Mom and Dad went back to looking at

191
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 4: the map and trying to figure out what to do next.

192
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 4: I was wandering around the plane looking at where we

193
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 4: had landed. It was pretty crazy. I mean I'd seen

194
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: trees before, sure, but this was a lot of trees

195
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: like green everywhere you looked, with massive leaves, vines everywhere, birds,

196
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: every color of the rainbow. And man, talk about hot,

197
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 4: but a different kind of hot. Like the air was

198
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: really thick suit which kind of made it hard to breathe.

199
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: The plane actually didn't look too bad. I saw most

200
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 4: of our supplies were okay. Now I was kind of

201
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: glad I hadn't brought my switch because I don't know

202
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: how well it would have handled a plane crash. But

203
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 4: as I was grabbing my sleeping bag and canteen, I

204
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 4: noticed something really weird.

205
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: Hey Dad, what is it?

206
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: I know, I don't know a whole lot about planes,

207
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: but this line here looks like it goes up to

208
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 4: the engine right. Well, lots of things look beat up

209
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 4: and all junkie because of the crash, But doesn't this

210
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: line look different?

211
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: Hmmmm? It does look different.

212
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 7: Ah, that's because this is the fuel line and it

213
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 7: was cut on purpose.

214
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: Roger, you don't mean someone didn't want us to go

215
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 3: to the camp site.

216
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 7: Someone wanted us to crash.

217
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, guys, if you think that's crazy,

218
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: just wait. Things got a whole whole lot weirder after that.
