Episode #1.4 (2016) - full transcript

It's day 4 of the survival school. The girls vs the boys continues. Who will prevail?

Previously on "Bear Grylls

Survival School," Azriel
showedhis star potential, helping

to raise morale in camp.

Strong stomachs

were needed for my
lunchtime challenge,

with live mealworms on the menu.

Oh, I-- oh.

Asthe Welsh heavens opened,

Alana and Savannah
achievedthe near impossible,

making a fire from scratch--

High five.



I know, yeah.

--helping the girls' team

take a 2, 1 lead over the boys.

Well done, girls.

And the team

completed survival training,
inpreparation for a grueling two

day expedition.

Next time you do
it, it's for real.

I'm Bear Grylls.

And when I was growing up,
all of this was my playground.

I want to find out if kidstoday
have got what it takes

to abandon their mobilephones
and survive for two

weeks out here in the wild.

Woo!



Watch out!

You made it.
You made it.

I really don't want to do this.

Dig deep, finish strong.

Oh!

Welcome to "Bear
Grylls Survival School."

BEAR GRYLLS Coming up--

Oh, pff--

--I create a stink.

You haven't lived
until you've had a sniff

of somebody's boiling pee.

Leaping into the unknown--

It is a sheer
drop into the abyss.

--andsurvival school gets very real.

Listen, this is aproper survival situation.

Over the next twodays, the young survivors

are going to be an awfullylong
way from their base camp.

Right out in the
wild, they're going

to have to be resourceful,
positive, and determined,

as well as dealing withthe
infamous Welsh weather.

But before they set out,

I want to demonstrate how theycan
make use of almost anything

in a survival situation.

OK, come and jump up
on the bank up here.

Even their wee.

OK, listen in.

Tonight you guys are
going to be living

off military ration
packs, OK, which

is a food that soldiers eat.

They come in these littlefoil
pouches, like this.

And it is good to go.

Literally, you can eat
it straight like that.

But you guys are lucky,
because what you're going to do

is use what soldiers also use--

they use a bag like this
to heat this food up.

OK, now this is super clever.

You'd think you need
fire to heat this up,

but this bag actually
does it for you.

It's totally flameless, this.

So you open it up, like that.

Inside is a little heat pack.

You add some water to
it, or something wet,

this will get
really, really hot.

Roll it up.

In about 10 minutes,
a good hot meal.

What's the problem with
putting water in here?

You waste it.

You waste it,
because itmixes with that heat pack,

contaminates the water,
so you waste water.

And what's the most
vitalresource in the wild?

Water.

Water, OK.

We can also use--

Wee.

Wee, OK.

And the good thing is
about putting in here,

it's not gonna
contaminate the food,

because that's totally sealed.

Clever?

Yes.

OK.
I'll do the first one.

I'm not weeing in a bag,
I'll tell you that now.

- I'm gonna wee.
- Yeah, but you--

We know you will.

There we go.

OK, so now that will startto
react with that heat pack.

Look, it's already happening. See that?

Whoa.

OK, this gets mega hot.

We wrap it up.

Oh, I can already smell that.

Oh, pff--

- Oh, what's it smell like?- No.

Smell that?

I can smell it.

OK, there are two
problems with this.

One is that it smells terrible.

The second problem
is, you've got

to put your hand in
afterwardsto get the food out.

Bwa!
- Oh.

But the good thing
about this, while this

is getting really hot,
you keepit moving around, squishing

around, heating up all
thatfood, with the pee in it,

with the heat pack,
you can sit down.

If you've got wet feet
at the end of the day,

sit down like this--

Keep your feet warm.

And then you have to hold it.

You don't burn your
fingers, and it

gets your feet nice and toasty.

And you wait for
your dinner to cook.

10 minutes, that'll be ready.

Come, have a smell of that.

No, thank you.

Oh.

Minging.

That actually
makes me want to gag.

No, you have to smell it.

It smells terrible.

You haven't lived until
you've had a sniff

of somebody's boiling pee.

And even though it
smells a bit now,

it's gonna be a lot better
thanhaving cold military rations.

Not many people can saythat
they've met Bear Grylls

and smelled his boiling pee.

BEAR GRYLLS The team

set off into the Welsh hillson
their two day expedition.

There'll be no
letup as they face

mountains, mines,
and atough night out in the wild.

But their first challengeis
a navigation exercise.

And if they're going
to survive, they

must locate their food rations.

Out there, hidden,
is food for everyone.

I wonder which team is
gonnaget closer to the food.

Girls versus boys.

Come on, boys,
we need to do this.

OK, and I'm gonna
help you out by giving

you a little button compass.

Threedays into survival school,

the girls are one up inthe
team of the day vote.

And the boys are determined
tocatch up during the expedition.

Think we're pretty confident.

We need to kind of
win this, because we

can't let the girls beat us.

OK, guys.

We've got four or five legs.

First checkpoint is an easy one.

South 100 meters.

Let's go, team, come on!

Let's go.

BEAR GRYLLS The team

have to navigate via
seriesof different locations.

Guys, wait up.

By counting their steps,

they can work out how
far they have traveled.

But if they're not
really accurate,

they'll end up a long
way from their dinner.

Guys, come here.

50 meters southwest.

After just one stage,

the two teams are
alreadyat different points.

So is it that way?

It's that way.

Let's go, come on.

And they head

off in different directions.

I think we're right,
compared to the boys.

Yeah, we're not
looking at the boys,

because we're
focusing on ourselves.

125 meters northwest.

Maths is key here.

16 plus 63, so, like, 79.

I wish I'd listenedmore
in my maths classes.

At each stage,

the girls carefully
plan their route,

while the boys seem
more interested in just

charging off.

Who's got the compass, lads?

They should be
following you, then.

So it's all here,
that'slike, a rough average.

Yeah, it is.

Yeah.

OK, hopefully this is right.

This is it, the last leg!

Northeast 50 meters.

I'm thinking it's down there.
Should we look in the tree?

See the trees that are
separated from the rest?

Yeah.

BEAR GRYLLS The girls

are getting really
close to the food, which

is hidden behind the mound.

But the boys are way off track.

The girls are a
lot further away.

Unless we heard it wrong.

Both teams have reached

the point where they
thinkthe rations should be.

The girls are just metersaway,
but are unable to see

the food behind the rocks.

But from the boys'
distant position,

they catch a glimpse
of the ration boxes

and make a break for it.

Guys, guys!

Guys, guys!

Unfortunately, fellas,
youwere over 100 meters away

from the correct position.

Girls, you were 10 meters
awayfrom the correct position.

The girls win the challenge,

but the boys feel they shouldhave
been declared the winners.

We won that so fairly, right.

Like, exactly.

You're not gonna-- if
you'regoing in one direction,

and you see where you wantto
go, you're not gonna say,

oh, now I've lost now,
becausel'm not where my direction.

We hadn't even finished walking.

Exactly.

We spotted it first.

Stupid.

Caramel flavor hot
chocolate drink powder.

Wait, wait, wait, how--

Kieron is furious.

And when the camera
turns away, he throws

Scott's compass into the lake.

Nah, we've got to
share it with the boys.

It's not fair.
- Yeah.

No.

They're still a
part of our team.

Wait, guys, guys, guys.

Melon mango and
pineapple parfaits.

I love mangoes!

But they're still
a part of the team.

They're still a part of
the team, it's not fair.

- We never said we weren't---
Yeah, we weren't saying that.

I did.

OK, guys, that's the
end of the challenge.

Girls, you're the winners.

Now, boys, let's
make this clear.

This wasn't a challenge
just to find the food.

It was a test of your
micro navigation skills

that you've just learned.

Because you were so
farwrong, you looked and saw

the food over 100 meters away.

That's not what
the challenge was.

Not to find the food.

--right next to the food.

That's not what
the challenge was.

It was to test your
micro navigation skills.

You lost.

Do you know what, though?

It's not the losing
that bothers me.

It's the nature in
which you've lost.

OK, you're really bad losers.

We want to share
our food with you.

Despite the boys' behavior,

the girls are still willing
to split the rations.

Just take it.
There's loads of--

Sometimes you just needto
just swallow your pride,

Kieron.

Thanks, guys.

To cheer you up, read that.

Like, read what's
in it, it's so nice.

Just one thing
before we go, please.

The two compasses I gave you,
can I have them back, please?

Mine fell out of my pocket.

Thank you.

Fell out of my pocket.

I'm disappointed.

Kieron is not
owning up to Scott.

OK, no problem.

He said whoever got
to the food first wins,

and we got to it first.

I'm surprised and concerned

by the boys' behavior.

Being competitive is great.

We all need a little
bit of pushing,

and something to keep our edge.

But that's very differentfrom
being a bad loser.

And that isn't good,
especially in a tight group,

and on an expedition
in tough environments.

So this is something the
leaders and me are going

to be working on hard to getrid
of at the end of survival

school.

As I feared,

the bad weather has
set in, big time.

But it won't be a problemfor
the next challenge.

The team are
heading underground.

I'm really excited, like,
tosee what it's gonna be like.

It's gonna be smelly
and all of that.

But for one survivor,

it's her worst nightmare.

I don't want to do it at all.

I'm just kind of, like,
nervous about this one.

I'm really claustrophobic.

Just take it a step at a time.

Like, don't worry about
what will be ahead.

Worry about what you're
doing at the moment.

Yeah, but look at that.

That could collapse
at any point in time.

It won't

The disused slate

mine is nearly half a miledeep,
and fraught with danger.

Guys, listen up.

This is when it gets serious.

OK?

If that happens in the mine,
itwill take hours to be rescued.

For Savannah, it doesn't

get any harder than this.

With a phobia of smallspaces,
just entering the mine

will be an achievement.

Do you think you can do it?

No.

Look at them, over there.

You're a part of that team.

You will be fine.

Savannah bravely

decides to give it a go.

Three, two, one!

OK, slowly walking in.

As they head

into the 150-year-old mine,
Savannah is immediately faced

with a small, dark passageway.

To test their
teamwork and bottle,

their first challenge is tofind
their way down the tunnel

in complete darkness.

I now need your head torches.

Give them to me in your hand.

I'd rather go home,
turn yourself right round.

- No you wouldn't.
- Savannah.

I really would.
I really--

You take that off,
and your mom will

be the proudest in the world.

Come on, you can do it.

Yeah, I know!

Yes.

Yeah, Savannah, yes.

Sav, you can do this.

You can do it.

Without their head torches,

they can see absolutely nothing.

But with infrared cameras,
wecan follow what they're doing.

It's fine, look.

Close your eyes for
30seconds, and then open them.

Deprived of sight,

they must rely on
each other to make

it along the slippery path.

We're doing it as a team.

We can do this,
OK, all together.

Everyone in a line.

Just go slow.

Just go slow, Sav.

With Kieron's help,

Savannah is forcing
herselffurther into the mine.

Count to ten, deep breaths.

Andthe whole team make it safely

to the end of the
first tunnel, where

their head torches are waiting.

Now it's time to
shed some light on this.

Yes, thank you.

Savannah really
impressed me then.

We came into the
entrance of the cave,

and she was really scared.

We've had a couple
of fits of crying,

but she's crossed
her first hurdle.

Trust me, come on.

Guys, oh.

I'm really pleased to see

the change in Kieron.

It's largely thanks to him
thatSavannah is fighting her fears.

See, that's fine, isn't it?

Theyhead
even deeper into the mine,

and the going is getting
morehazardous as they're forced

to edge around sheer drops.

Be careful of your footing.

Lots and lots of
debris fall down, OK.

I'm not keen, because
I don't like heights.

Oh.

Don't look back.

Don't look down.

Look forward.

Look where you're going.

Keep going, Adam.

Fantastic.

Well done, Adam!

I just hate, like,
drops like that.

It's just high-- high
upthings, it's absolutely hell.

Oh.

I'm a bit worried, because we've

gone so far down the cave.

Atthe very bottom of the descent

they'll face a unique challengewhich
will test their courage

to the very limit.

What is that?

This is the final challenge.

You are going to be takinga
leap into the unknown.

No way.

It is a sheer
drop into the abyss.

It'sthe ultimate leap of faith,

into pitch black.

What you need to do--

--screw it.

--is be confident, and step out,

and trust that you'll be fine.

Guys, good luck.

No, I'm going back.

Sav, you can do it.

No, no, come on,
come on, come on.

Sav--

I'm not-- I'm not
gonna do this one.

Savannah, come on.

Savannah has done incredibly

well to get so
deep into the mine,

but this may be a step too far.

So far, yeah,
you've saidyou can't do everything.

- Yeah, but where--
- But you've done it.

You've done it.

So why-- why is
this stopping you?

Take hold with two handsand
a positive jump, OK?

What does that say?

Survival school.

You're learning to
get over your fears,

and that's what it's all about.

Ready to go?

Yeah.

Two, one, go.

Yeah!

She's down.

It was very scary
andnerve-racking at the start.

But now I've done it,
I'm justglad I'm safe on the ground.

A little bit of
wee might come out.

I was actually excited,
but nowl'm kind of nervous about this.

But you only live once, do it.- Go.

Another one down.

Azriel, buddy, you're up.

Go for it.

Man's up in it.

Go on.

Whoa!

Catch me.

Oh, I'm a bit more nervousthan
I would have thought.

Three, two, one.

No point in going back.

Carry on.
Come on, you can do it.

Kieron leaves

Savannah to make up her mind.

OK.

Let's go.

Whoa!

That was just the
mostamazingingist thing ever.

I tried shouting something,
but I had that much adrenaline,

my voice just wouldn't work.

BEAR GRYLLS Savannah

has taken a momentous decision.

Remember, you don't jump.

Don't lean back.

Just a good, positive step.

Go on to the edge.

Right?

OK.

Oh my god.

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

That was awesome.

What did she say?

That was one of the best things

I've done in a long time.

I'm so happy I did that.

It feels unreal.

I just knocked the
fear out of me.

I mean, I feel I could justjump
off the end of the world.

And that is exactly what

survival school is all about.

Total respect to Savannah,
and to Kieron for helping her

overcome a real phobia.

They emerge into
torrential rain.

And their high spirits
soonplummet when they see where

they'll be spending the night.

It's the ruins of a
buildinghalfway up a mountain,

with no roof or windows.

Conditions are so
bad, the leaders have

rigged a makeshift shelter.

All inside of the shelter.

I'm still caught into mine.

Could you, Kev?

We're cold.

We are soaking wet.

Our shoes are soaking wet.

Our socks are wet.- Come
on, girls, keep positive.

Our feet are
really wet, as well.

Yeah, stay positive, girls.

Yeah, well I'm telling
them the situation, so--

OK.

Anyway, and then
there's no fire.

No, it's too wet--

But we're all trying tostay
positive, especially us.

The shelter still

need securing
properly, and the team

are forgetting their training.

Before we do anything,
priorities of survival.

What's the first one?
- Fire.

- No.
- Protection.

Protection.

The shelter's been done
for you, but look at it.

There's actually still
some elements coming in.

But rather than improve

the shelter, some of the boysseem
more interested in moaning

about their situation.

Look at that.

Look at it, it hasn't evengot a
door, or anything.

People annoy me, and they'reall,
oh yeah, I'm so positive.

I don't care.

That's you, cool.

Stay positive.

Everyone's just moaning and--

And then they're
going, I'm not quitting,

but I don't want to do this.

Oh, just-- just get on with it.

It's just like, chill out.

Yeah, it's raining.
We're wet.

We're cold.

It's not exactly cheer--

Yeah, but we-- we don't
have another choice.

This is it.

With a storm moving in,

and winds are already
gustingup to 40 miles an hour,

Scott is forced to intervene.

All right, guys, listen.

Az, turn around.

In case you don't understandthe
severity of the situation,

we're high on the mountain,
it's pouring down with rain,

it's cold, and someone's
gonnago down with hypothermia.

This is a proper
survivalsituation at the moment.

If you don't listen
to me, do what I say,

someone's gonna get hurt.

We've got to work as a team.

Yes.

So these big bags,
you want to push

them against the
rear and the side

to block the wind coming in, OK?

Start working.

Let's go, guys,
come on, come on.

Spread them all the
way along, let's go.

Bailey, pass that bag down to--

Don't stand up, lads.

You'll break the shelter, lads.

Bailey, put all
these bags outside.

With the bags in place,

the next priority is food.

It's imperative in
these sort of conditions

you get a hot meal inside you.

Do you recognize these?

Oh no, mate.

Oh no.

You'll do them.

There's one for you.
- Pass them down.

Pass them down, one each.

Tear it across here.

Read the writing
first, so you're

looking at them the right way.

That's it.

Should be like that, now.

I've ripped through
instructions a bit,

but I'm just gonna wing it.

I'm just gonna
copy everyone else.

Come on then, crew.

I'm not hungry.

I've got potatoes.

I'm starving.

Basically, you're
gonna pee in this bag,

and then there's a thing
that reacts with water,

and it makes it boiling hot.

I'll go do it over here.

Whilstthe
boys get down to business,

the girls aren't so keen.

I'm not reaching in pee.

It's just-- and then--

and it'll be all dripping,
and I don't have no, like,

tissue, or anything.

I bet I'll miss the bag.

That would be literally me.

I bet I wouldn't and I'djust
get it all over my hand.

Oh, that's minging.

Oh, man.

Great, put it on the floor.

Put it on the floor.
Don't drop it.

That's it.

There it goes.

Oh, my pee stinks
worse than Bear Grylls'.

It's pretty disgusting,
butit's not gonna touch the food.

And I'm gonna get a hot
meal at the end of it,

so I'm not bothered, really.

I don't want to do this,
but I'm really hungry.

Should we get some
toilet roll, guys?

It's not so much
peeing in the bag.

It's the fact that we'regonna
eat what's in the bag.

Even if it's in another
bag, it's just gross.

BEAR GRYLLS The girls

have decided to
waste fresh water,

rather than use their wee.

Girls, I have to say
you've won the challenge

in the navigation,
but you'vedefinitely lost the challenge

for wee in the bag.

I'll give you some
fresh water, though.

Thank you.

- Thank you.
- It stinks.

Get a whiff of this-- look.

Ew.

With everyone

organized and well
fed, the team have

turned their fortunes around.

I would recommend peeing ina
bag in a survival situation

to eat some warm food.

Honestly,
it's the nicestthing in the world.

This stuff's amazing.

I don't even mind peeing in
abag if the taste is this good.

It's nice, isn't it?

I told you.
What did I say to you?

You've never had a
real hot chocolate?

- What did I say to you?
- But you've never--

- What did I say to you?
- But you've never--

- What did I say?
- You've never--

Zip.

What was that?

It's great.

But
oneboy is still struggling to cope

with the realities of survival.

Don't want to eat anything.

I don't want to have anything.

I'm just cold and wet.

I don't want to be outhere
when it's like this.

Yeah, if it was warmer,
but the wind is so strong,

and the rain, I just hate it.

Charlie, you're just
taking it too far.

You just need to get on with it.

People find differentthings
hard, lots of people

are struggling for
different reasons.

It's called survival school.

You kind of have to
realize that you're

going to be doing
stuff that's hard,

and that you don't
actually like.

Charlie has separated

himself from the group.

I just like getting
my own time, sometimes,

just letting myself think.

I just don't want
to be around people.

That just gets
annoying sometimes.

I don't want to give
up, but I just don't

want to stay here tonight.

I know.

I just guess it's a
bitharder to cope with this.

I can't do it anymore.

This is gonna be the toughest

night the team have ever faced.

I can't wait to go to sleep.

Get in your bags.

Time is running now.

There's a rock right there.

It's perfect, then.

No, it's really--

I don't know where Alana's gone.

I'm on the toilet.

Don't come out here!

That's where Alana's gone.

Conditions like these

can make or break individuals.

I want these zips done up, right

up to your neck and shoulders.

BEAR GRYLLS I'm hoping

the team will come
out all the stronger--

Goodnight, everybody.

BEAR GRYLLS
--if they

can make it through the night.

Next time on "Bear
Grylls Survival School,"

drama on a dangerous mountain.

And gossip spreads around camp.

Kieron likes Maria.

I didn't say I didn't.
