00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,279
Speaker 3: Okay, where was I with my story? Oh? Yeah, so

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 3: our plane had crashed.

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 4: Remember mom, dad, everyone hang on grace yourselves.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: We're going down.

14
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 5: Roger the piley just jumped out.

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: Why would he do that?

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 5: I don't know.

17
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: He was wearing a parachute.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: I don't think there's any other parachutes in here.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah no, Blain, No.

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 6: I don't know if you've ever been in a plane crash,

21
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 6: but I really wouldn't recommend it. So there we were,

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 6: crashed in the middle of this massive jungle, with no

23
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 6: idea where we were or how to get to the

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 6: base camp where we were supposed to be flying to.

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 6: And then my dad and I figured out the plane's

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 6: fuel line had been cut on purpose. So while my

27
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 6: mom and dad tried to figure out what to do next,

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 6: I figured I would start getting the rest of our

29
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 6: stuff out of the plane. I mean, it wasn't like

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 6: we were going to get it back up in the

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 6: air anyway. See, here's our tint backpacks, sleeping bags, food box, lanterns, flashlights, matches.

32
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: Cool. Now where's my stuff?

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 6: And there we go Swiss army knife, compass, canteen, hatchet,

34
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 6: and some block hat, one week's supply of beef jerky,

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 6: and there my walking stick. My parents had taken me

36
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 6: camping a few times, so most of the stuff I

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 6: had brought was left over from those trips. I hadn't

38
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 6: really thought we would need them on this safari. But

39
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 6: let me tell you, you have no idea how glad

40
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 6: I was later that I brought this stuff.

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: You'll see.

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 6: So while I finished unpacking, my dad made a really

43
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 6: bad discovery, Like really bad.

44
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: Everyone, I'm afraid I've made a really bad discovery.

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 1: See what I mean?

46
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: Looking closer at the fuel line on the plane, I'm

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 4: positive I know who cut it. Ooh, it was our pilot.

48
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: What that doesn't make any sense, Roger.

49
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 5: No one would cut a fuel line on a plane

50
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: and then get it in front of it.

51
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: You know it sounds crazy, but look here the fuel line.

52
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: See these little jagget edges. That means whoever did this

53
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: was using a serrated knife, not a pair of pliers

54
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: or cutters. And I remember seeing our pilot with a

55
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: knife buckle around his waist. Not to mention, when we

56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 4: arrived at the airport, I smelled gas. After I shook

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 4: the pilot's hand. I asked him about it, and he

58
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: said he accidentally spilled some on his hands while he

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 4: was feeling the plane.

60
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought he just smelled that.

61
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: Well that too, but some of it was gas. The

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: real question is why did he cut it.

63
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 3: I just don't understand why someone wouldn't want us here.

64
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: I don't understand either. We'll worry about that later. For now,

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: I think we should set up camp here and make

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 4: a plan for tomorrow. We need to start making our

67
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: way toward the base camp as soon as possible.

68
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: H good idea. Why don't you and Miles start setting

69
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: up for the night, and I'll study the map and

70
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: make a trouble plan.

71
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: Sure, all right, Miles, let's get this tent set up.

72
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 6: So at this point you might be thinking, come on, Miles,

73
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 6: none of this sounds like that big a deal. Sure,

74
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 6: you're plane crash, but your whole family was fine, and

75
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 6: you had your parents and all these supplies. I'm sure

76
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 6: you all walked to the base camp just fine. From there,

77
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 6: ooh boy, you could.

78
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 3: Not be more wrong.

79
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 6: That night was the last kind of normal night for

80
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 6: a long time. We got our tents set up and

81
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 6: had dinner around the campfire, no s'mores. Unfortunately, Mom had

82
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 6: figured that if we walked for at least eight hours a.

83
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: Day, we could make it to the base camp in

84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: about a week or two.

85
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 6: So we decided to get up at dawn, pack everything

86
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 6: we could and start walking. But we never got that far.

87
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 6: When we went to sleep that night, I heard something

88
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 6: super weird. And if I had known what I would

89
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 6: find when I checked out that noise, I would have

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 6: stayed put in my sleeping bag.

91
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: Here's what happened. How are they sleeping?

92
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 6: I hear like a bazillion bugs all around us, and

93
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 6: I just know one of them is gonna fly in

94
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: my mouth or on my nose the second I fall asleep.

95
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 6: Why are we leaving tomorrow anyway? It's not like we're

96
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 6: actually gonna make it to this base camp. I bet

97
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 6: we're all just walking along and we fall into a

98
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 6: pit of quicksand all though I ever find of me

99
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 6: is my hat just floating there on top. Or maybe

100
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: we'll be trying to cross over a rushing river and

101
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 6: we'll get swept downstream over a huge waterfall. Or maybe

102
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 6: there's a huge tiger out there that's just waiting to

103
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 6: put miles on the menu.

104
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 3: What was that? I don't know what that is, but

105
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: it sounds like it's afraid. It might even be hurt.

106
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 3: Oh man, the thing sounds like it needs help. But

107
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: I can't go out there.

108
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 6: Mom and Dad definitely wouldn't let me, and if I

109
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 6: wake them up, they'll say, you all need to stay

110
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 6: here because it's not safe out there.

111
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: I can't just sit here. Whatever that thing is, it

112
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 3: sounds like it needs help.

113
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 6: I'll just go take a quick look and come right back.

114
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 6: Actually I should probably take my backpack just in case.

115
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 6: Good thing, I've got a flash flight. Tell these trees

116
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 6: and leaves. I can't even see the moon now.

117
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: It sounded like it came from this direction.

118
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 6: Actually, let's go this way for a few steps around

119
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 6: the big, huge, enormous stake and thin well head towards

120
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 6: the noise.

121
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 3: So I ended up walking a lot further than I

122
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: meant to.

123
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 6: I guess I kind of lost track of time, but

124
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 6: I kept hearing that weird animal noise every couple of minutes,

125
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 6: and I knew I was getting closer. I saw some

126
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 6: really crazy stuff along the way, too. The jungle was

127
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 6: actually kind of awesome looking at night. I saw some

128
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 6: fireflies that were the size of birds. I remember hoping

129
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 6: that didn't mean other bugs would be bigger than normal too.

130
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 3: Spoiler earlert they were. It was crazy how fast I

131
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: started getting thirsty too.

132
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 6: Have you ever walked through a jungle. It's kind of

133
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 6: like walking through steam. It's hot, wet, and I was

134
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 6: already sweating. Thankfully, I grabbed my pack so I had

135
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 6: my canteen with me. By the time I started getting

136
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 6: close to the noise, I'd already drunk half of it.

137
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 6: I'd been walking for about fifteen minutes when I heard

138
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 6: the noise again, and this time it was really close. Okay,

139
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 6: remember how I said this story starts to get really weird.

140
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: Well, we're just about there, hope you're ready.

141
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 6: Because I heard that noise just on the other side

142
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: of this massive leaf. So I pulled the leaf down

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 6: a bit so I could see what was behind it.

144
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: And this is what happened next here. Okay, here we go.

145
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: Let's see what's behind this leaf.

146
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 7: Oh, it's some kind of cat, like a really really

147
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 7: big cat, like, definitely a cat.

148
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: What are you? Hey? What's that? Is that a chain

149
00:08:59,360 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: around your paw?

150
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: Oh?

151
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: No, you're in some kind of trap? Oh gosh? What

152
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: should I? I mean?

153
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 6: I don't know if I can help. I guess I

154
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 6: could try to help you. But if I do, do

155
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 6: you promise not to eat me? Okay, okay, hmm, looks

156
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 6: like your paws stuck here and this is attached to

157
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: the chain. Maybe I can get your pall free if

158
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 6: I press on this hard enough. Hoped up, Sorry, didn't

159
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 6: mean to.

160
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: Uh.

161
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 6: I think I can do this. Just just give me

162
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 6: a minute. Okay, good thing. I had all my stuff

163
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: in my pack because I think my Swiss army knife

164
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 6: has a screwdriver on it somewhere.

165
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: Yep.

166
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 6: Now, let's see if we can undo this part. You know,

167
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 6: now that I'm thinking about it, why is there even

168
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 6: a trap out here? There shouldn't be any people nearby,

169
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 6: so what's going on?

170
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: I know it hurts. I've almost got it.

171
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 6: Just one more twist here and I think there got it? Hi?

172
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 5: What are you about that?

173
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: What the who are you?

174
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 5: Never mind me? Who the blazers are you? And what

175
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 5: are you doing turning there? Crazure loose?

176
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: It was trapped, so I was just trying to help.

177
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 5: Well, of course it's trapped. I trapped it, and now

178
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 5: you've gone and set it free. It'll take ages for

179
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: me to trap it again. Man, For all we know,

180
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 5: there's not many of them.

181
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: Not many of them. What is this thing? Anyway?

182
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 5: Never mind? Forget I said anything. Just get out of here, kid,

183
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 5: and don't come back. You've got no business out here.

184
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 5: Leave this thing to me.

185
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 6: Well wait a second, big cat living in the jungle

186
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 6: with big red spots, Oliver, it is.

187
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: This a it's spot a cheetah? It is? You're the

188
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: cheating my mom game? You're looking for?

189
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 5: What's that?

190
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 4: Now?

191
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 5: Your mommy is here? Hold on, it's sick. Your name

192
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 5: wouldn't happen to be Miles, now, would it?

193
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: Huh? How do you know that?

194
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 6: Oh?

195
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 5: For the lover? Never mind, name's Drake kid. Look, I

196
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 5: don't know how you got out here, but you shouldn't be.

197
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: You need to come with me if you want to

198
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: get back home.

199
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: I don't even know you. And what about the cheetah.

200
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 5: Don't worry about the cheetah. I'll take care of it later.

201
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: Just come over here before it decides to have you

202
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 5: for a little snack.

203
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: A snack, really, I don't think it would hurt me.

204
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: Oh that's where you did wrong, kid. These things are vicious.

205
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 5: That's why I'm trying to trap them. So just trust

206
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 5: me and walk over here slowly and see that hole

207
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 5: right there, Stay well clear of it. You don't want

208
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: to know what's down there. Just walk around it nice

209
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 5: and slow, and we'll see if we can't get you

210
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 5: back to your mom.

211
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 6: Uh, well, I guess I probably should. I kind of

212
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 6: got lost on.

213
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: The way here. Hey, what are you doing, Drake? The

214
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: Cheetah's got my pack. He's pulling me away. I don't

215
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: think he wants me to go with you.

216
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 5: Of course he doesn't. He wants you to come back

217
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 5: to his lair for a nice maile on theyr. What's

218
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 5: for dinner?

219
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure. Hey, easy, mister cheatah easy? Uh? Whoa?

220
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: Whoa Drake?

221
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 6: Mom?

222
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: Dad?

223
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 6: Oh man, I still remember that like it was yesterday.

224
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 6: At first, I was really scared because I thought maybe

225
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 6: I really had fallen into some quicksand, but it wasn't that. Nope,

226
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 6: I ended up falling into a really really strange place.

227
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: And it wasn't exactly safer than quicksand.

228
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 6: But I was about to find out the jungle was

229
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 6: hiding a very interesting secret, and draken scarlet spotted cheetah

230
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 6: were only the beginning of my problems.
