Man vs. Wild (2006–2020): Season 5, Episode 5 - Fan vs. Wild - full transcript

I'M BEAR GRYLLS.

I'VE MADE IT THROUGH CHALLENGES

IN THE SORT OF PLACES
YOU WOULDN'T LAST A DAY

WITHOUT THE RIGHT
SURVIVAL SKILLS.

BUT THIS TIME, I'M NOT ALONE.

AFTER A NATIONWIDE CALL-OUT,

20,000 OF THE SHOW'S
MOST HARD-CORE FANS

WERE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

TWO OF THEM MADE THE CUT.

NOW I'M GONNA SHOW THEM
WHAT IT TAKES

TO REALLY SURVIVE IN THE WILD.



THESE TWO WILDERNESS ROOKIES

WILL HAVE TO LEARN QUICKLY
AND DIG DEEP

TO MAKE IT THROUGH
THIS LIFE-CHANGING MISSION.

THERE'S NO WAY HE WOULD ASK US
TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY.

WHOA, BOY.

IT WILL PUSH THEM BEYOND
THEIR PHYSICAL LIMITS...

OH, MAN.

...TEACH THEM
TO WORK AS A TEAM...

WHOO.
TIME TO GO BACK.

...AND FORCE THEM TO CONFRONT
THEIR GREATEST FEARS.

300-FOOT DROP,
AND I DON'T LIKE WATER.

WHOO-HOO!

TOGETHER, WE'RE GONNA BE...

"FANS VS. WILD."
"FANS VS. WILD."



BELOW ME IS THE PROVINCE
OF BRITISH COLUMBIA,

WHICH IS TWICE THE SIZE
OF CALIFORNIA.

IT IS SO ISOLATED

THAT THERE ARE MORE BEARS HERE
THAN THERE ARE PEOPLE.

SURVIVAL IS ALL ABOUT
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL STRENGTH.

WITH BASIC SKILLS
AND THE RIGHT ATTITUDE,

YOU CAN SURVIVE
IN THE WILDERNESS.

MY FIRST RECRUIT IS 39-YEAR-OLD
JOE RESTO, FROM NEW YORK.

I ALWAYS WANTED TO CLIMB
TO THE TOP OF A MOUNTAIN.

I WILL PROBABLY BE
THE ONLY PUERTO RICAN IN HISTORY

TO CLIMB A MOUNTAIN.

BUT IT'S COMFORTING TO KNOW
THAT I'LL HAVE BEAR

NOT TOO FAR FROM ME

TO TAKE CARE OF THINGS
IF THINGS GET OUT OF HAND.

AND JOINING JOE IS 29-YEAR-OLD
SEAN LACOSTE, FROM THE MIDWEST.

THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT I SIGNED UP FOR,

AND I WANT IT TO BE A CHALLENGE.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO FACE
MY FEARS AND MY WEAKNESSES

AND OVERCOME THOSE.

SEAN AND JOE
WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

BUT THE WILDERNESS IS BOTH
DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE.

OKAY.
ARE YOU SET FOR THIS?

GET READY FOR THE MOST WILD
CAB RIDE YOU'RE EVER GONNA TAKE.

KEEP LOW.

THIS HELI IS TAKING US

HIGH INTO THE PURCELL
MOUNTAIN RANGE,

OVER 100 MILES
FROM THE NEAREST CITY.

WELCOME
TO THE BIG MOUNTAINS.

SOME OF THESE GRANITE PEAKS

WERE FORMED OVER 1 1/2 BILLION
YEARS AGO.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WHERE WE'RE GOING

IS ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR
PEAKS AROUND HERE, RIGHT?

BUT IT IS HIGH.
AND IT IS FULL ON THE SUMMIT.

AND IT'S MORE THAN LIKELY
GONNA BE AS WINDY AS HELL.

WHAT IT MEANS
IS THAT THE HELI

IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO TOUCH DOWN.

SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA TRY
AND DO IS FAST-ROPE.

YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN
ON THAT ROPE.

DO NOT LET GO
OF THE ROPE.

MORE USED TO JUMPING IN AND OUT
OF NEW YORK CABS

THAN HELICOPTERS,
JOE LOOKS VISIBLY NERVOUS.

Resto: I LIVE IN NEW YORK.
I DON'T SEE NATURE.

I DON'T SEE THE JUNGLE.
I DON'T SEE THE RAINFOREST.

JOE'S AN E-COMMERCE EXPERT.

OUTSIDE WORK, HE'S DEEJAYING

AND PLAYING HANDBALL
WITH HIS BUDDIES.

I'M GONNA MISS THE CARS,
THE PEOPLE,

THE FOOD, THE BATHROOMS.

I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD
TO EATING ANYTHING ALIVE

OR SOMETHING THAT I USUALLY
WOULD STEP ON.

BUT LOOK AT THAT
FOR A VIEW.

JUST SPECTACULAR
MOUNTAINS, EH?

SEAN WORKS
FOR AN ELECTRONICS COMPANY

AND IS BASED IN MINNESOTA.

YEAH, THIS IS SEAN.

HE TRAVELS THE U.S.,
TRAINING EMPLOYEES.

I LIVE IN THE URBAN WILDERNESS.

IN FACT, WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME
WHERE I LIVE,

I TELL THEM I LIVE IN AIRPORTS
AND HOTELS.

THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS.

SEAN LOVES HIS HOME AND SPORTS
BUT HAS A PHOBIA ABOUT WATER.

JUST BEING THIS CLOSE
TO THE WATER,

IT IS SOMETHING
THAT FREAKS ME OUT.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TRY
TO FACE THAT FEAR OF WATER.

NOW AT 10,000 FEET,
A THIRD THE HEIGHT OF EVEREST,

OUR PILOT IS LOOKING FOR JUST
ANYWHERE HE CAN GET US DOWN.

Man: BEAR, WE'RE GONNA TURN
FINAL HERE FOR THAT RIDGE

AND SEE IF WE
CAN GET IN THERE.

TAKE IT STEADY THERE.

THIS WILL REQUIRE PINPOINT
ACCURACY FROM OUR PILOT.

Man:
BEAR ON THE ROPE.

BEAR GOING DOWN.

GETTING ONTO THE GROUND
IS ALWAYS A HIGH-RISK MOMENT.

OKAY.
BEAR IS ON THE FLOOR.

BUT HOW WILL THE GUYS COPE
WITH IT?

Resto: THAT WAS A PURE
BEAR GRYLLS MOMENT RIGHT THERE.

IT WAS A ROCKY RIDE
COMING IN, VERY WINDY.

WE WEREN'T EVEN SURE
WE WERE GONNA LAND.

BUT WHEN WE, YOU KNOW, CLIMBED
DOWN THE ROPE ONTO THAT PEAK,

100% ADRENALINE RUNNING
THROUGH MY BODY.

SEAN'S NEVER EVEN BEEN
IN A HELICOPTER BEFORE.

Lacoste: THE NERVES WERE GOING.
IT WAS EXCITING.

YOU LOOK DOWN AND LOOK AROUND,
AND YOU FEEL VERY SMALL.

I JUST KNEW
THAT WE NEEDED TO GET DOWN.

Man:
OKAY. FAN ON THE FLOOR.

WE'VE CUT A PIECE
FROM OUR FAST ROPE.

WITH ONLY ONE CLIMBING ROPE
TO GET US OUT OF HERE,

WE'RE GONNA NEED ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET.

THUMBS UP.
AND WE'RE CLEAR.

MY GUYS ARE SAFELY DOWN
AND PUMPED WITH ADRENALINE,

AND THEY'RE GONNA NEED IT.

GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.

OKAY.
WE'RE ON THE MOUNTAIN, EH?

SO, HOW WAS THAT RIDE
FOR YOU GUYS?

A LITTLE BUMPY.
A LITTLE SHAKY.

HOW ABOUT YOU, JOE?

WELL, AT 8:00
IN THE MORNING,

THAT'S THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE
YOU CAN EVER HAVE.

WOKE ME UP.

GOT A LENGTH OF ROPE.

AND WE GOT A BUNCH OF THIS
FROM THE OTHER ROPE.

WE GOT HARNESSES.
WE GOT CARABINERS. THAT IS IT.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE MINIMAL,
MINIMAL KIT.

MOST IMPORTANT THING I CAN TELL
YOU ON THIS JOURNEY IS THIS.

TRUST ME
AND LISTEN TO ME.

WE'RE STARTING THIS MISSION
AS INDIVIDUALS,

BUT THE GUYS ARE ABOUT TO LEARN

THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK
AS A TEAM AND TRUST EACH OTHER

IF WE'RE GONNA GET OUT OF THIS
WILDERNESS IN ONE PIECE.

OKAY, GUYS.
THE JOURNEY BEGINS. GO.

I'M GONNA SHOW THESE TWO
THE SKILLS THEY NEED

TO SURVIVE FOR 48 HOURS
IN THIS WILDERNESS.

GUSTS OF WIND COULD BLOW US
OFF THIS KNIFE-EDGED RIDGE,

FALLING 3,000 FEET
INTO THE VALLEY BELOW,

SO IT'S VITAL WE ROPE UP.

OUR FIRST CHALLENGE

IS GETTING DOWN THIS 80-FOOT
GRANITE ROCK FACE

AND TO THE SNOW GULLY BENEATH.

I'M GONNA SCALE DOWN A MOUNTAIN
WITH BEAR GRYLLS.

LIFE DOESN'T GET
ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

I MEAN, THAT'S A STORY I CAN
TELL MY GRANDKIDS IF I LIVE.

THIS ROPE WILL BE A LIFELINE

AND TICKET TO GETTING
OUT OF THESE MOUNTAINS.

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.
THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.

OH, MAN.

IT'S A GOOD WAY TO LEARN.
WE'VE GOT THE VESTS.

SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER JUST
TO GET THROWN INTO THE DEEP END

AND GO FOR IT, YOU KNOW?

Lacoste:
I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE SHOW,

AND BEAR SEEMS LIKE
A PRETTY DOWN-TO-EARTH GUY.

IF HE HAS FEARS,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE,

BECAUSE HE EXUDES
THAT CONFIDENCE.

FOR THAT REASON,
HE'S THE PERSON I'D WANT TO BE.

THAT IS NOT COMING OUT.

YOU THINK?

I CAN HONESTLY SAY

THAT I'VE NEVER BEEN
MORE TERRIFIED IN MY LIFE.

AND EXCITED
AT THE SAME TIME, SO...

THE FANS ARE NERVOUS,

SO I'M GONNA LOWER THEM DOWN
TOGETHER.

LET'S STAND UP.

AND LOTS OF CONFIDENCE
WITH THIS, GUYS.

A MAN'S SURVIVAL IS ALL ABOUT
THAT BALANCE OF CONFIDENCE.

YOU DON'T WANT OVERCONFIDENCE.
THAT'S DANGEROUS.

YOU DON'T WANT
UNDERCONFIDENCE.

YOU THEN GET TENTATIVE
AND MAKE MISTAKES.

GOOD, STEADY,
POSITIVE CONFIDENCE --

CONFIDENCE IN YOUR KIT,

CONFIDENCE IN ME,
CONFIDENCE IN EACH OTHER.

LET'S PUT SOME PRESSURE
ON THE ROPE, START LEANING BACK.

THIS IS A FEELING
I'VE NEVER FELT BEFORE.

I'VE GOT YOU.

YOU GOT ME?
YOU GOT ME, BEAR?

I'VE GOT YOU.

THESE GUYS HAVE NEVER RAPPELLED
OFF ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

IT'LL GIVE ME A VITAL INSIGHT

INTO THEIR STRENGTHS
AND WEAKNESSES.

YOU'RE LEANING BACKWARD.
LEANING OUT. THAT'S IT.

ONCE YOU'VE LEANT BACK,
IT'LL COME EASIER.

JOE IS STRUGGLING ALREADY.

IT LOOKS LIKE HEIGHTS COULD BE
A PROBLEM FOR HIM.

NOT LIKE THIS.

THIS IS WHEN IT'S HARD
AND THE ROPE GOES SLACK.

I WANT YOU LIKE THIS,
RIGHT OUT.

BUT I NEED HIM TO TRUST ME.

THAT'S IT.
NOW YOU'RE TRUSTING THE ROPE.

TRUST THE ROPE.
TRUST BEAR.

LEAN BACK EVEN FURTHER.
THAT'S IT, OKAY?

JUST WALK BACK.
THAT'S IT.

NOW WE'RE RAPPELLING,
GUYS.

KEEP LEANING BACK.

IS THAT WHAT I'M DOING?

NOW YOU'RE DOING IT.

OH [BLEEP]

REALLY GREAT JOB.

THAT'S IT.
YOU'RE LEANING BACK.

SMILES ON YOUR FACES.

ROCK AND ROLL, GUYS!

WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAINS!

HOW WAS IT?

AMAZING.

I SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED
NOT DOING THE RAPPEL.

IT WAS PRETTY SCARY.

Lacoste: GOING DOWN OFF
THAT MOUNTAIN, YOU KNOW,

IT WAS KIND OF A HORRIFIC
EXPERIENCE, YOU KNOW?

ONE FALSE MOVE OF THAT ROCK,
THAT COULD BE IT.

WELL DONE, GUYS.
YOU DID GREAT ON THAT.

KIND OF ALWAYS SCARY
GOING OVER THE EDGE,

ISN'T IT,
AT THE START?

OH, YEAH.

I NEED TO RECOVER OUR ROPE
AND GET US MOVING.

BUT FIRST, THE BIG SURVIVAL
PRIORITY -- WATER.

DEHYDRATION REALLY CREEPS UP
ON YOU IN THE MOUNTAINS.

YOU DON'T FEEL THIRSTY.

BUT YOU GET THROUGH
SO MUCH FLUIDS HERE --

COMBINATION OF ALTITUDE,

DRY AIR, ADRENALINE,
AND WORKING HARD.

YOU'RE GONNA DEHYDRATE,
SO GET YOUR BOTTLES OUT.

DIG INTO THE SNOW A BIT.
GET UNDER ALL OF THIS CRUST.

AND THEN
JUST FILL IT UP.

EATING SNOW IS NOT A GOOD WAY
TO REHYDRATE.

IT CAN CAUSE BLISTERS
IN YOUR MOUTH.

INSTEAD, WE'LL STASH
THE BOTTLES AWAY FOR LATER.

BY THE TIME YOU REACH
THE BOTTOM, YOU'LL HAVE WATER.

IN THE MOUNTAINS, YOU'VE GOT
TO DRINK BEFORE YOU'RE THIRSTY.

IF YOU'RE THIRSTY,
YOU'RE ALREADY DEHYDRATED.

IN OUR NEXT CHALLENGE,
WE SAVE TIME AND ENERGY

BY CRANKING DOWN
A VERTICAL SNOW FACE...

WHOA, BOY.

Resto: YOU JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S IN STORE NEXT.

THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME.

WHAT DEVILRY DOES THIS MAN
HAVE IN STORE FOR US?

...AND TACKLE A GLACIER

CONTAINING A MINEFIELD
OF CREVASSES.

I DON'T EVER WANT TO GO
BACK TO A GLACIER, EVER.

I'M IN CANADA
WITH TWO WILDERNESS ROOKIES --

JOE RESTO, FROM NEW YORK...

I'M GONNA SCALE DOWN A MOUNTAIN
WITH BEAR GRYLLS.

LIFE DOESN'T GET
ANY BETTER THAN THAT.

...AND SEAN LACOSTE.

I'M FROM SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA.

YOU KNOW, MY LIFE REVOLVES
AROUND TRAINING CONSULTANTS.

THIS IS THE EXACT POLAR OPPOSITE
OF WHAT I DO.

Grylls:
WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAINS!

MY ROOKIES HAVE ALREADY
SCALED DOWN A SHEER ROCK FACE.

KICKING IN HARD.

WE'RE NOW DESCENDING 1,000 FEET

THROUGH AN ALMOST-VERTICAL
SNOW GULLY.

AT THIS ALTITUDE,

LIMITED OXYGEN
MAKES EXERCISE DIFFICULT.

AND ALREADY
JOE IS FEELING THE STRAIN.

HOW YOU FEELING?

UH, LIKE I WANT TO DIE.

LIKE I AM DYING A SLOW,
PAINFUL DEATH.

NO, YOU'RE DOING GOOD.

YOU'RE REALLY DOING GOOD,
YOU KNOW?

A WHOLE NEW ENVIRONMENT --
THAT'S WHY IT'S TIRING.

IT PUSHES YOU
TO THE LIMITS.

I NEED TO GET THE GUYS
MOTIVATED AGAIN, AND FAST.

OKAY, ARE WE GETTING MORE
CONFIDENT WITH THIS NOW?

I'VE GOT AN IDEA
THAT WILL GIVE MY TEAM A LIFT.

LOOK, WE CAN MAKE UP SOME TIME
HERE.

WE'RE GONNA GLISSADE IT.

OKAY.

GLISSADING IS
A MOUNTAIN TECHNIQUE

USED TO COVER GROUND QUICKLY
AND SAVE VALUABLE ENERGY.

I'M GONNA SHOW THE GUYS
WHICH LINE TO TAKE,

THEN GIVE THEM THE ALL-CLEAR.

IT'S ALL GREAT.
AND REMEMBER -- SPACE OUT.

ALL RIGHT,
TIME FOR A WILD RIDE.

THE RUN
IS OVER 300 YARDS LONG.

THE GUYS HAVE GOT TO KEEP
THEIR FEET UP.

AT SPEEDS LIKE THIS,
IF THEY DIG THEIR HEELS IN,

THEY COULD BE THROWN FORWARD

AND BARREL-ROLL
OFF THE MOUNTAIN.

WHOO!
I CAN'T SEE A THING.

BUT IT'S WORTH THE RISK,

AS EVERY MILE COMPLETED
BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO SAFETY.

WHOA!

WOW.

THAT'S A LOT OF SNOW
UP THE BACK.

I THINK I'M A PRETTY CONFIDENT
SKIER, BUT THAT THING'S STEEP.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST DID THAT
ON MY BOTTOM.

IT WAS A WILD RIDE.

IT'S DANGEROUS UP HERE.
THIS ISN'T A JOKE.

THIS IS AS REAL AS IT GETS.

Grylls:
THEY'RE DOING WELL.

YOU KNOW, IT'S PUT A SMILE
ON THEIR FACE AGAIN.

THEY WERE DEFINITELY GETTING
TIRED IN THAT GULLY.

THE THING IS,
YOU CAN'T RUSH GROUND LIKE THAT

WHEN IT'S ICY AND STEEP.

IT'S TIRING ON THE LEGS.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THEY DID WELL.

AND THAT'S IN THE PAST.

AND HERE'S THE FUTURE IN GETTING
DOWN OUT OF THESE MOUNTAINS.

WE LOST A LOT OF HEIGHT THERE,
WHICH IS GOOD.

NEED TO PICK THE PACE UP THERE,
THAT'S FOR SURE.

BUT THAT'S GONNA BE DIFFICULT.

BEFORE LONG, WE'VE HIT
ONE BRUTE OF A GLACIER.

IT'S THREE MILES LONG,
600 FEET DEEP,

AND IS RIDDLED WITH DANGER.

UNDER THE SURFACE LIE HUGE
CREVASSES UP TO 100 FEET DEEP.

IT'S ESSENTIAL WE ROPE UP.

IT'S FUNNY -- PEOPLE DON'T KNOW
THERE ARE CREVASSES HERE.

YOU SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS,

IT JUST LOOKS LIKE
A BIG SNOWFIELD.

AND THAT'S PARTLY
WHY IT'S DANGEROUS.

IT LULLS PEOPLE
INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY.

SNOW COVERS CREVASSES
AND CREATES SNOW BRIDGES.

THIS MAKES THEM
DIFFICULT TO SPOT,

WHICH IN TURN CAN BE LETHAL.

Grylls: OKAY, LOOK.
THIS IS WHAT I MEAN.

LOOK AT THAT.
YOU SEE?

THAT'S WHY SNOW IS BAD.
ALL RIGHT?

TRY AND WALK ACROSS THAT,
AND THAT GIVES WAY.

IT'S A LONG DROP
INTO DARKNESS.

TREAD LIGHTLY.

IT'S PRETTY INTIMIDATING.

YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE.

ALMOST ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

SO WHAT YOU'RE ON NOW, SEAN,
IS GOOD.

WHAT'S TO YOUR RIGHT
IS BAD.

SNOW BAD, ICE GOOD.

SNOW BAD, ICE GOOD.

I'M FREAKING OUT.

IT'S GOOD.
IT'S ALL GOOD.

THIS IS THE SCARIEST
I'VE BEEN ALL DAY.

THE CLOSER WE GET
TO THE MORAINE,

THE CREVASSES ARE GETTING
DEEPER, WIDER,

AND MORE DIFFICULT TO CROSS.

I'M GONNA TAKE THE LEAD
AND SELECT A ROUTE

THROUGH THE MAZE
OF ICE WALLS AHEAD.

OKAY, BASICALLY
WHAT WE NEED TO DO

IS GET ACROSS
THESE FEW SERIES OF CREVASSES

TO REACH OVER THERE,
ALL RIGHT?

BUT IN OUR WAY IS A 50-FOOT
SHEER WALL OF ICE

DOWN TO A SNOW BRIDGE.

YEAH.
NO, THAT'S NOT GREAT.

I DON'T LIKE
TO HEAR HIM SAY THAT.

"NOT GREAT."

I'M IN ONE OF CANADA'S
MOST ISOLATED PROVINCES --

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

BUT I'M NOT ALONE.

GET READY FOR THE MOST WILD
CAB RIDE YOU'RE EVER GONNA TAKE.

20,000 HARD-CORE FANS
FROM ALL OVER THE U.S.

APPLIED TO JOIN ME

FOR THE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE
OF A LIFETIME.

WE SELECTED JOE RESTO
FROM NEW YORK,

WHO HAS A VERY PERSONAL REASON
TO MAKE THIS TRIP.

I WAS A VICTIM OF A VERY RANDOM
AND SENSELESS ACT OF VIOLENCE.

I WAS SHOT IN MY BACK.

MY FRIEND NEXT TO ME WAS SHOT IN
THE HEAD AND KILLED INSTANTLY.

UPON RECOVERY,
I MADE A PROMISE TO MYSELF

TO DO WHATEVER MAKES ME SMILE.

AND GOING TO CANADA WITH BEAR
MAKES ME SMILE.

JOE'S FELLOW ROOKIE IS
SEAN LACOSTE FROM THE MIDWEST.

SEAN FEELS
HE'S GOT SOMETHING TO PROVE.

Lacoste: MY FRIENDS AND MY
FAMILY, THEY'VE ALL SAID,

"YOU HAVE SO MANY FEARS.
YOU HAVE SO MANY WEAKNESSES.

AND THERE'S NO WAY
YOU'D BE ABLE TO DO IT."

FOR THIS TO ACTUALLY COME TRUE,

I MEAN, I'M EXCITED,
I'M NERVOUS.

ALL RIGHT.
TIME FOR A WILD RIDE.

I'M HAPPY THAT I GET THE CHANCE
TO PROVE TO MYSELF

AND TO THROW IT IN THEIR FACE,
TO SAY, "I CAN DO THIS."

WHOA, BOY.

AND THIS ADVENTURE
IS GONNA PUSH OUR GUYS

TO THE ABSOLUTE LIMIT.

GOOD JOB.

WE'RE HALFWAY ACROSS A GLACIER
WHEN WE COME FACE-TO-FACE

WITH A SHEER 50-FOOT
WALL OF ICE.

BASICALLY,
WE CUT INTO THE ICE,

AND THEN THE ROPE RUNS
AROUND IT, OKAY?

AN ICE ANCHOR IS A RESCUE
TECHNIQUE USED BY CLIMBERS

WHEN SPEED IS ESSENTIAL
AND GEAR IS MINIMAL.

I LIKE TO CALL HIM
AN OUTDOOR WIZARD.

HE CAN SEE THINGS
THAT OTHER PEOPLE DON'T.

LIKE, IF I WALKED BY A LOG, I'D
JUST BE LIKE, "THAT'S A LOG,"

WHERE HE WALKS BY A LOG AND ALL
OF A SUDDEN, IT'S A RAFT.

HE JUST TAKES WHATEVER

AND APPLIES IT TO THE SITUATION
THAT HE'S IN.

KEEP DIGGING.

I'VE NEVER SEEN TWO GUYS WORK
SO CAREFULLY.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR
LIFE'S ON THE LINE, ISN'T IT?

SO BASICALLY, THE ROPE
LOCKS NICELY IN PLACE.

THAT'S NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.

I'M GONNA LEAD THE WAY
AND RAPPEL FIRST.

Grylls:
OKAY. WE GOOD WITH THIS?

YEAH, SO FAR.

JOE'S WATCHING MY LINE,
AND SEAN'S MY ANCHOR.

WAIT -- BEAR,
BEAR, BEAR, BEAR!

YEAH?
I DON'T KNOW. IT'S NOT HOLDING.

IT IS.
IT'S GOOD.

IT'S GOOD?
JOE, IT'S FINE, HONESTLY.

ALL RIGHT.

IT'S OKAY.

I HAVE A HEALTHY RESPECT
FOR CREVASSES.

I'M NOT GONNA TAKE ANY CHANCES
WITH ME OR YOU, ALL RIGHT?

IT'S ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS --
JUST TRUST ME.

IT WILL HOLD.

OH, MAN.

LOOKS GOOD.

SEE THAT LINE, JOE?

I SEE IT.

KEEP YOUR HAND ON IT,
BUDDY.

HAND'S ON IT.

OKAY, I'M DOWN.

BEAR, YOU ALL RIGHT?

SEAN,
WHAT'S GOING ON?

HE'S GOOD.
HE'S GOOD?

LEAN BACK AND PUT YOUR WEIGHT
ON IT. DOWN YOU COME.

NICE AND STEADY.

THIS IS A PRETTY SCARY
SITUATION.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GO DOWN THERE.
YOU FEEL VERY ALONE.

YOU JUST GOT TO TRUST BEAR
AND HIS EXPERIENCE.

OKAY, JOE!
WE GOT SEAN DOWN!

OH, MAN.

OKAY. WE'RE GOING DOWN, JOE.
LET'S GO.

THIS IS REALLY GONNA PUSH JOE

AND WILL MAKE HIM CONFRONT
HIS FEAR OF RAPPELLING.

WHO'S GUARDING THE ROPE?

YOU GOT ME, BEAR?
I GOT YOU 100%, BROTHER.

ALL RIGHT.
I TRUST YOU.

THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S GOOD.

KEEP IT COMING.

LEAN BACK.

I RECKON
YOU CAN WALK DOWN THIS,

SO LEAN RIGHT OUT LIKE YOU DID
ON THAT FIRST GRANITE RAPPEL.

THAT'S IT. LEAN RIGHT BACK.
RIGHT BACK.

HIPS FORWARD, REMEMBER.

FEET FLAT AGAINST THE ICE.
NOT [BLEEP] TO THE ICE.

CREVASSES ARE SCARY PLACES,

AND THIS IS
REALLY CHALLENGING JOE.

HE'S GONNA HAVE TO PUT
HIS FEARS TO ONE SIDE

AND PUT HIS CONFIDENCE IN ME.

GOOD JOB, JOE.

OH, GOOD STUFF.

Resto:
BEAR HELPED ME.

HE TOLD ME
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN
SAYING THAT ALL DAY.

AND I HAVE BEEN FINE,

SO I GUESS I NEED TO START
BELIEVING HIM AT SOME POINT.

WITH THE CREVASSE ACCOMPLISHED,
WE NEED TO REHYDRATE.

AT THIS ALTITUDE,
THE BODY NEEDS

OVER A LITER OF WATER AN HOUR,
SIMILAR TO THE DESERT.

YOU SEE HOW THE SNOW'S MELTED
IN THERE?

HAVE A DRINK.
STOW THEM.

AND WE'LL GET
ONTO THIS MORAINE

AND TRY AND FIND SOMEWHERE TO
MAKE CAMP BEFORE IT GETS DARK.

AS THE GLACIER CARVES
THROUGH THIS VALLEY,

IT GOUGES OUT MILLIONS
OF TONS OF ROCK.

THIS MORAINE GIVES US
EASY ACCESS TO THE TREE LINE.

GET UP OVER THE RIDGE.

WE'RE AT 7,000 FEET

AND SURROUNDED
BY IMPOSING GLACIERS.

WITH ONLY THREE HOURS LEFT
OF DAYLIGHT,

WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT SHELTER
AND FOOD.

WE'RE UP OFF THE VALLEY FLOOR.

ALL THE COLD AIR AT NIGHT
IS GONNA SINK DOWN THERE,

SO IT ACTUALLY SHOULD BE
A BIT WARMER UP HERE.

ALL RIGHT. SO ANYWHERE
ALONG HERE IS GONNA BE GOOD.

THAT'S BEAR POO.

IS THAT BEAR [BLEEP]

THIS TIME OF YEAR,
THE WARMER WEATHER

BRINGS BEARS AND COUGARS
HIGHER INTO THE MOUNTAINS.

LOOK.

YOU CAN SEE ALL THE HAIR
OF WHAT IT'S BEEN FEEDING ON.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A GOOD AMOUNT OF IT.

PROBABLY A GRIZZLY.

IS IT FRESH?

YOU KNOW, WE'RE
IN THE TREE LINE HERE.

SO THERE ARE
GONNA BE BEARS.

LET'S KEEP GOING.

IN THE LAST 20 YEARS,
300 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED

BY LARGE PREDATORS
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

MORE BEAR POO.

IT DOESN'T MAKE IT A BAD PLACE
TO CAMP.

IT MAKES IT
A SCARY PLACE TO CAMP.

WE'RE IN THE BEARS'
NEIGHBORHOOD NOW.

BEARS AREN'T TERRITORIAL.

THIS IS PURELY A SIGN
THAT THEY'VE PASSED THROUGH.

I'D GO FOR THIS.
ARE YOU HAPPY?

HAPPY.

FIRST THING WE WANT TO DO
IS CLEAR THIS.

AND THEN WE NEED TO FIND
SOME LONG LOGS.

THESE SORT OF THINGS.

THAT'LL DO FOR ONE.

GET A LONGER ONE AND RUN THAT
TO THERE.

AND THEN WE'LL JUST COVER THAT.

ALL THIS TIMBER IS
AVALANCHE DEBRIS.

WITH FAILING DAYLIGHT,

WE DON'T HAVE TO WASTE TIME
CUTTING TREES.

BUT JOE'S GOT OTHER THINGS
ON HIS MIND.

I'M ON A CONSTANT
BEAR LOOKOUT NOW.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT'S SO MUCH EASIER
WITH THREE PEOPLE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE BEING
OUT HERE BY YOURSELF.

PARTS OF IT ARE MAGICAL.

PARTS, THOUGH,
WHEN YOU'RE TIRED,

AND YOU JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW,
MAKE CAMP FAST AND REST.

IF THE DEVIL HAD A BOOT CAMP,
THIS IS WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE.

THIS IS EVIL.

I HAVEN'T WORKED THIS HARD
SINCE EVER.

THIS IS BEDDING?
YEAH.

SPRUCE BRANCHES ON TOP
OF THE AVALANCHE DEBRIS

ARE IDEAL FOR BOTH ROOFING
AND BEDDING.

ONE LAYER UNDERNEATH
WORTH TWO ON TOP, OKAY?

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GONNA LOSE
MOST OF OUR HEAT.

AT 3:00 IN THE MORNING,
WHEN YOU'RE COLD,

YOU'LL BE GRATEFUL FOR EVERY
INCH OF BEDDING UNDER YOU.

I AM BEAT, EXHAUSTED.

NOW IT'S LOOKING
LIKE A SHELTER.

I DON'T WANT THE GUYS TO HAVE
TO KILL FOR THEIR DINNER,

SO I'VE BROUGHT IT WITH ME.

NICE.
I'M ALLERGIC TO BUNNIES.

BUT THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK
FOR IT.

I'M IN BRITISH COLUMBIA WITH
TWO NEW FRESHMAN SURVIVALISTS.

I'M PROBABLY
THE FIRST PUERTO RICAN

TO EVER RAPPEL
OFF A MOUNTAIN IN CANADA.

WE'RE ON
A 48-HOUR SURVIVAL MISSION,

AND MY RECRUITS ARE ALREADY
FINDING IT TOUGH GOING.

Lacoste:
I'VE PLAYED A LOT OF SPORTS --

PLAYOFFS, ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT
THINGS, CHAMPIONSHIPS.

BUT BEING OUT HERE
IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WITH BEAR,

LEARNING FROM HIM
AND EXPERIENCING THIS,

IT'S LIFE-CHANGING.

WITH OUR CAMP SORTED,

IT'S TIME TO START
PREPARING DINNER.

AND THAT...

Resto: THAT'S NICE.

...IS GONNA BE SUPPER.

THE FIRST NATION PEOPLE
HUNTED MOUNTAIN HARES FOR FOOD

AND USED THEIR PELTS
FOR CLOTHING.

I'M ALLERGIC TO BUNNIES.

YOU'RE ALLERGIC TO BUNNIES.
GREAT.

WELL, THAT'S ONE EACH
FOR US, SEAN.

TO COOK THESE CRITTERS,
WE NEED A FIRE,

AND I'M GONNA GET THE BOYS
TO SPARK IT UP.

COME AND CHECK THIS OUT,
JOE.

WHAT'S HE GOT PLANNED, MAN?

OKAY, LOOK. WE'RE GONNA MAKE
THE FIRE IN HERE.

WE GOT LOADS
OF KINDLING HERE.

I'LL GO AND GET
SOME MORE BIGGER STUFF.

THAT REALLY NICE CRACKLES --
IT'S GONNA BURN.

THE GUY CAN DO IT ALL.

I MEAN, HE KNOWS HOW TO NAVIGATE
BY MOONLIGHT.

HE CAN RUB HIS FEET TOGETHER
AND MAKE A FIRE.

WHEN YOU'RE AROUND GREATNESS
LIKE THAT,

IT'S BOUND TO RUB OFF.

WE DO IT?

OVER TO YOU.
YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.

YOU GOT THE MATCH?

I GOT A LIGHTER OVER --
IS HE GONE?

SO WE'VE GOT THE MATERIALS,
BUT CAN SEAN RELEASE THE MAGIC?

I'M HAVING DIFFICULTIES
HERE.

I'M NOT BEAR GRYLLS.

OH, I GUESS WE GOT
TO EAT THEM RAW.

BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT
PERSEVERANCE.

OH, HE GOT IT GOING.
IT'S BURNING.

MM-MM-MMM.

CAN'T WAIT
FOR THAT RABBIT.

WELL DONE, GUYS. HOW WAS THAT,
GETTING THAT GOING?

I FEEL LIKE A MAN IN THE WILD.

[ CHUCKLES ]
YOU ARE A MAN IN THE WILD.

WE'VE ALL BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO THIS, SO WELL DONE.

NOW JOE HAS TO GUT THE HARES.

INCISION.

THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR JOE.

MEAT IS USUALLY PRESENTED TO US
IN SHINY PACKAGING

AND UNDER ELECTRIC LIGHTS
IN STORES.

OKAY, FINGER IN.

BUT UNLIKE THE CITY,
EATING IN THE WILDERNESS

IS ALL ABOUT EATING TO SURVIVE.

THEN STUFF YOUR WHOLE HAND
ALL THE WAY UP INSIDE IT.

THE GUTS SHOULD BE REMOVED
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THEY CONTAIN BACTERIA
THAT CAN SPOIL THE MEAT

AND EVEN BE LIFE-THREATENING.

PUSH THROUGH THE DIAPHRAGM,
AND YOU'LL FEEL ITS HEART.

[ GRUNTS ]

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S IN THERE.

DO YOU HAVE HAND SANITIZER
AFTER THIS, I HOPE?

I HOPE YOU BROUGHT SOME.
OH, MY.

OKAY.
GOOD JOB.

WHAT'S THIS?

HEART AND LUNGS.

ALL RIGHT.
GET RID OF THE LUNGS.

KEEP THE HEART.
WHO WANTS THE HEART?

IN SURVIVAL SITUATIONS,
YOU NEED TO EAT WHAT YOU CAN.

THE HEART IS PACKED
WITH PROTEIN AND IRON.

OKAY, SHARE IT.
THIRDS.

SOME OF THE FIRST NATION PEOPLE

WILL EAT THE ORGANS OF AN
ANIMAL STRAIGHT AFTER A KILL.

UGH.

IT HAD BOTH SPIRITUAL
AND NUTRITIONAL SIGNIFICANCE.

GO THROUGH THE PAIN.
GO ON. JUST SWALLOW IT.

IT'S GOOD.
YOU'VE EARNED YOUR BLOOD.

FOR SOME CANADIAN TRIBES,
SMEARING BLOOD IS A SYMBOL

OF A BOY'S TRANSITION
INTO MANHOOD.

UGH.

HE'S NOW ABLE TO PROVIDE MEAT
FOR HIS FAMILY'S TABLE.

OHH.

IS IT GONE?
IT'S STILL IN THERE.

OKAY.
IT'S GONE.

ALL RIGHT.
GREAT JOB.

I'M GONNA GO VOMIT NOW.

AND WE CAN PUT THAT
STRAIGHT ON THE FIRE.

ALL THE HAIR
IS GONNA BURN OFF,

AND THE FUR AND THE SKIN
WILL PROTECT THE MEAT.

AND THE GUTS,
WE'RE THROWING OFF THE CLIFF.

TODAY WE'VE BURNT
OVER 6,000 CALORIES,

WHICH IS THE SAME AS RUNNING
2 1/2 MARATHONS.

NOW THIS MEAT IS GONNA PUT
SOME MUCH-NEEDED FUEL

BACK IN OUR TANKS.

Grylls:
HERE'S TO YOU GUYS.

MMM.
Lacoste: IT'S GOOD.

IT'S ACTUALLY
PRETTY GOOD.

BUT I KNOW IT CAN BE
A BIT GRUESOME

GETTING STUCK INTO THE GUTS
OF A HARE AND STUFF,

AND COOKING AND THEN EATING IT
JUST LIKE THAT.

BUT WHAT YOU GOT TO REMEMBER --
IT'S DOING THIS SORT OF THING

THAT ALLOWS US
TO SURVIVE OUT HERE

AND BE ABLE TO LIVE AND ENJOY
THIS SORT OF PLACE.

MAN.

IT FELT PREHISTORIC, LIKE
I WAS -- LIKE I HAVE TO.

I HAD TO DO IT.

IF I WANT TO EAT, THAT'S WHAT
I HAVE TO DO, YOU KNOW?

THERE'S NO CHEF HERE.

I DON'T SEE, YOU KNOW,
MARTHA STEWART COOKING.

THIS IS US.
IT'S JUST US.

WE'RE GONNA SURVIVE,
WE GOT TO EAT.

GOT TO DO WHAT YOU GOT TO DO.

AS NIGHT FALLS,
SO DOES THE TEMPERATURE --

TO A FREEZING
20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

DAY'S BEEN EXHAUSTING.

I PROBABLY DID MORE IN THE FIRST
THREE HOURS OF MY DAY

THAN MOST PEOPLE WILL DO,
YOU KNOW, IN A YEAR.

I'M YET TO SLEEP.

I'VE NOT FALLEN ASLEEP YET.

Grylls:
WELL, IT'S NOW ABOUT 4:00.

GOT THE FIRE
GOING PROPERLY AGAIN.

GONNA TRY AND SLEEP LIKE THIS
FOR A FEW HOURS.

[ SIGHS ]

THAT'S WHAT THE MOUNTAINS
DO TO YOU.

BRILLIANT.

IN OUR NEXT CHALLENGE,

SEAN COMES FACE-TO-FACE
WITH HIS BIGGEST HANG-UP...

WHOO.
TIME TO GO BACK.

ARE YOU IN?
HERE WE GO.

...AND JOE HAS TO CONFRONT
HIS FEAR OF HEIGHTS.

[ SIGHS ]

OH, MAN.

I'M IN THE CANADIAN WILDERNESS,

AND I'M TAKING
TWO ROOKIE SURVIVORS

ON THE EXPERIENCE
OF A LIFETIME.

WE'RE KIND OF
TWO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS.

HE COMES FROM A BIG CITY.
I COME FROM A SMALL TOWN.

SO OUR LIVES ARE, YOU KNOW,
POLAR OPPOSITES.

Resto: THIS IS BEAR'S OFFICE
RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS WHERE HE PUNCHES IN
AND PUNCHES OUT.

IT'S AMAZING TO THINK
HE DOES THIS FOR A LIVING.

IT'S DAWN,

AND WE'RE FINALLY BEGINNING
TO THAW OUT AROUND THE FIRE.

DEFINITELY NEED WARMING UP
AFTER LAST NIGHT.

Lacoste: FRIGID.
WET, AND IT WAS COLD.

BUT THIS SPRUCE TEA
WILL DO THE JOB.

SPRUCE TEA CONTAINS 20 TIMES
MORE VITAMIN C THAN AN ORANGE.

IT LITERALLY TASTES

LIKE I HAVE A CAR FRESHENER
IN MY MOUTH RIGHT NOW.

IT'S THAT BAD.

IF THE GUYS DON'T RATE
THE O.J., I'M PRETTY SURE

THEY WON'T THINK MUCH
OF THE REST OF OUR BREAKFAST.

WE'RE GONNA FORAGE UNDER ROCKS

AND SEE WHAT GRUBS AND WORMS
WE CAN FIND.

WOW.
CHECK THIS ONE OUT.

[ CHUCKLES ]
OH, MAN.

BEAR BREAKFAST.

WORMS ARE AROUND 60% PROTEIN,

WHICH IS AROUND THE SAME
AS A SIRLOIN STEAK.

WE ARE COOKING THESE,
RIGHT?

SERIOUSLY,
WE'RE COOKING THESE?

LESS COOKING,
MORE SCRUBBING.

OKAY, LOOK. GET THESE.
STICK THEM IN THE SPRUCE TEA.

GIVE THEM A WASH OFF.

THEN JUST PULL THEM OUT, AND
PROBABLY THE EASIEST WAY...

OH, MAN.

...JUST POP IT IN.

TASTES HORRIBLE.
UGH.

WELL DONE, SEAN.

THIS THING
IS MOVING, MAN.

COME ON, JOE.
WE NEED ENERGY.

DON'T THROW UP ON ME.

I ALMOST DID.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

HOW'S IT DOING
IN THERE?

I'M RIGHT IN YOUR
PROJECTILE-VOMIT LINE.

[ COUGHS ]

DON'T VOMIT.
TRY AND GET IT DOWN.

YOU NEED ALL YOUR ENERGY.
COME ON.

WASH IT DOWN
WITH THAT.

UGH.

[ LAUGHS ]
THAT SORT OF WHIMPER.

FEELS GOOD.
IT FEELS GOOD.

WELL DONE, BUDDY.
WELL DONE.

THIS BUSHMAN'S BREAKFAST
COULDN'T BE FURTHER

FROM JOE'S NEW YORK EQUIVALENT.

HE'S PURE EVIL.
Lacoste: YEAH.

HE'S PURE EVIL.

SACKS ON? GOOD.
WE'RE OUT OF HERE.

IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF ANY ELEVATION

TO PLAN THE NEXT PART
OF YOUR JOURNEY.

A CONSTANT SURVIVAL CHALLENGE

IS TO FIND THE QUICKEST
AND EASIEST ROUTE.

Lacoste: I'M BEAT.
I'M COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED.

BUT LAST NIGHT, THE MENTALLY
EXHAUSTED HIT AS WELL.

OKAY, LOOK.
YOU SEE WHERE WE WANT TO GET TO.

DOWN THROUGH THIS MORAINE.

AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE LAKE
THEN SPILLS OUT OF THE VALLEY.

THAT'S WHERE WE WANT TO HEAD --
DOWN INTO THE VALLEY.

FOLLOWING THE WATER
IS A GOOD GUIDE,

AS IT FINDS THE PATH
OF LEAST RESISTANCE.

THE THING IS THIS IS ALL
VERY, VERY LOOSE.

IT'S LIKE WALKING
ON BALL BEARINGS.

A REAL HAZARD IS FALLING ROCKS,

AND A SMALL ROCK
FALLING AT 50 MILES AN HOUR

IS GONNA TAKE YOU OUT.

I WAS ALMOST KILLED
IN THE YUKON --

ONE EXACTLY LIKE THAT
GOING DOWN SCREE LIKE THIS.

GOT TO THE BOTTOM,
TURNED 'ROUND,

AND ONE JUST WENT "SHOO!" --
STRAIGHT PAST MY HEAD,

SO WE'VE GOT TO BE
REALLY CAUTIOUS ON THIS.

THIS MORAINE IS NOW GETTING
TOO DANGEROUS.

CUTTING THROUGH
THIS UNDERGROWTH

WILL BE HARD GOING,
BUT IT WILL REDUCE OUR RISK.

MAN, IT'S LIKE BEING
BACK IN THE JUNGLE.

Lacoste: I FEEL LIKE
I'M ENGULFED, YOU KNOW,

IN THE ENVIRONMENT
AND WILDERNESS.

THE TREES ARE SO TALL
AND SO THICK,

I CAN'T EVEN SEE WHAT DIRECTION
WE'RE GOING.

IS THIS GONNA END EVER?

AFTER OVER A MILE BATTLING
IN THE DENSE BRUSH WOOD,

WE FINALLY HIT THE RIVER.

YOU KNOW WHAT? JUST STAY HERE.
LET ME HAVE A LOOK.

THIS IS LOOKING
TOO DANGEROUS TO CROSS.

THE GLACIAL MELTWATER
CHARGES DOWN

OVER 300 FOOT OF BOULDER
AND SHEER ROCK FACE

TO THE BASE OF THE WATERFALL.

I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH
RAPPELLING OFF A WATERFALL.

YEAH.
IT'S TOO SLIPPERY.

THERE'S NO WAY HE WOULD ASK US
TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY.

WOULD HE?
YEAH.

THE WATERFALL LOOKS WAY TOO
DANGEROUS TO GO DOWN THIS SIDE.

TRY AND LOOK FOR A PLACE
TO CROSS.

SEAN'S GREATEST FEAR IS WATER.

THIS IS GONNA BE
A NIGHTMARE FOR HIM,

AND IT'S STARTING TO SHOW.

300-FOOT DROP,
AND I DON'T LIKE WATER.

I KNOW, I KNOW.

BUT THAT WAY
IS WAY MORE DANGEROUS.

I NEED THE GUYS
TO WORK AS A TEAM.

WE'RE GONNA CROSS THIS RIVER
LINKED TOGETHER.

WHAT DID I SAY
RIGHT AT THE START?

WHEN I SAY IT'S OKAY AND
TO TRUST ME, IT WILL BE OKAY.

WE'RE A TEAM.

I'M GONNA PUT SEAN
IN THE MIDDLE

SO HE'LL BE SUPPORTED
ON EITHER SIDE.

OKAY. IT'S ALL GOOD.
IT'S ALL GOOD.

STEP DOWN.
I'VE GOT NO ARM.

THAT'S FINE.
STEP DOWN.

I'VE GOT YOU.
STEP DOWN.

ONLY A FEW FEET FROM THE BANK,

AND ALREADY SEAN IS PULLING ME
BACK TO THE SHORE.

WHOO.

IT'S ALL GOOD.
TIME TO GO BACK.

ARE YOU IN? HERE WE GO.
WE'RE MOVING.

TAKE OUR TIME.
NICE, GOOD STEPS.

I NEED TO KEEP SEAN FOCUSED.

IF HE LOSES FOOTING HERE,

WE'LL ALL GO IN AND TUMBLE
DOWN INTO THE WATERFALL.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE
TO STOP.

I NEED TO KEEP HIM MOVING.

KEEP COMING.
IT'S GOOD.

ALMOST THERE, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY.
IT'S A BIT STRONGER HERE.

WE'RE AT THE HALFWAY POINT --

THE MOST DANGEROUS PART
OF THE RIVER.

I'VE GOT YOU.

AND SUDDENLY, SEAN FREEZES.

IT'S FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT TIME.

I MANAGE TO PULL SEAN
AND GET HIM ON THE MOVE.

GOOD JOB.

WELL DONE, GUYS.

AND WE'VE MADE IT --

A SHORT DISTANCE, YET A BIG
DEAL FOR BOTH SEAN AND JOE.

THAT SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME.
I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

OH, MAN. OH.

I JUST WANT TO KISS
SOLID GROUND.

BUT I'VE A FEELING WE'RE NOT
OVER THE WORST OF IT.

THE WATERFALL LOOKS
JUST AS CHALLENGING OVER HERE.

THE RIVER IS OVERFLOWING,

AND THE SIDES ARE WAY TOO
SLIPPERY TO SCRAMBLE DOWN.

IF SEAN'S PHOBIA IS WATER,

THEN JOE'S GREATEST FEAR
IS HEIGHTS.

Resto:
I WANT TO GO HOME.

Grylls:
DO YOU KNOW WHAT?

SO DO I.

THIS IS WHAT'S GONNA
GET US HOME, OKAY?

YOU'VE GOT TO CONCENTRATE
ON THIS.

WE CAN BE TIRED
ALL THE REST OF THE TIME.

THIS BIT, WE'VE REALLY GOT TO
CONCENTRATE, OKAY?

THE FIRST SECTION IS 150 FEET,

AND IT'S LOOKING
REALLY SLIPPERY.

I'M GONNA TIE US TOGETHER
AND SET UP A STACK TO RAPPEL.

I'VE MADE THE GUYS
PUT THEIR HELMETS ON,

AND I NEED THEM
TO REALLY FOCUS NOW.

OKAY.
IT'S LOOKING GOOD.

BUT THE REALITY IS
IT'S LIKE WALKING ON ICE.

IF IT'S TOUGH FOR ME,

THEN THIS COULD BE
JOE'S ULTIMATE CHALLENGE.

JOE. JOE.
HOW YOU FEEL, MAN?

ALL RIGHT.

FEAR CAN PARALYZE YOU,

BUT THE GUYS MUSTN'T BE BEATEN
BY THIS.

AND ALREADY JOE IS HAVING
PROBLEMS KEEPING HIS FEET.

[ GRUNTS ]

EVERY STEP HERE IS A CHALLENGE.

I NEED HIM TO CONCENTRATE,
BUT HE'S STRUGGLING.

OH, MAN.

OKAY.
COME DOWN TO ME.

JOE HAS PUNCHED OUT.

HIS ENERGY AND STAMINA
ARE AT AN ALL-TIME LOW.

AND HE COULDN'T BE FURTHER
FROM NEW YORK RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE
I CAN TAKE.

KEEP GOING, SEAN!

TALK TO ME, JOE.

THAT WAS TERRIFYING.

YOU'VE JUST GOT TO HANG ON
IN THERE.

NICE AND STEADY.
THERE'S NO HURRY.

THE ADRENALINE
FROM SEAN'S RIVER CROSSING

IS DRIVING HIM DOWN THE ROPE.

WHOO!

ARE WE DONE RAPPELLING NOW?

WELL, WE'RE KIND OF
THREE-QUARTERS OF THE WAY DOWN.

STILL GOT TO GET
DOWN THERE.

LET'S JUST GET
THIS ROPE BACK.

THEN WE'LL FIGURE OUT
THE NEXT STAGE.

I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT I FEEL
REALLY [BLEEP] OFF RIGHT NOW.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY I
SIGNED UP FOR THIS WHOLE THING.

I CAN'T RISK ANOTHER RAPPEL.

I'VE MANAGED TO LOWER SEAN.

NOW I NEED TO GET JOE DOWN,
AND FAST.

Grylls: POOR JOE REALLY IS
IN KIND OF ZOMBIE LAND NOW.

HE'S BEEN SO COLD AND WET
ALL NIGHT, ALL MORNING.

HE HASN'T REALLY EATEN ANYTHING.
HE'S DRAINED.

YOU SEE HE'S REALLY
KIND OF STUMBLING AROUND.

THE ROCKS ARE
STILL REALLY SLIPPERY.

AND JOE IS LOSING IT.

SEAN, GO AND CHECK
HE'S ALL RIGHT!

ALMOST SNAPPED
MY KNEE IN HALF.

I CAME DOWN BAD
ON MY KNEE.

THIS IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE
WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

I NEED TO GET DOWN TO THEM.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

JUST TIRED,
HUNGRY, COLD.

PAIN, MY KNEE.

THOSE ARE ALL CALLED
MOUNTAIN EMOTIONS.

IT'S NOT EASY, YOU KNOW?

YOU'VE DONE AMAZING.
YOU REALLY HAVE, YOU KNOW?

THIS WHOLE JOURNEY WOULD BE HARD
IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITIONS.

WE'VE HAD IT COLD.
WE'VE HAD IT CONTINUALLY WET.

YOU KNOW?
THAT'S WHAT'S SAPPING.

BUT YOU'VE DONE AMAZING.

SURVIVAL IS ALL ABOUT
DIGGING DEEPER

THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT
YOU COULD.

I NEED TO KICK THE GUYS
INTO GEAR NOW.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH
OR CRY AT THIS POINT.

Lacoste: I'M LEARNING NOT TO
EVER GO OUT IN THE WILDERNESS

BY MYSELF, THAT'S FOR SURE.

WE'VE ONLY GOT FOUR HOURS

TO HIT THE VALLEY FLOOR
AND REACH OUR EXIT POINT.

NEXT UP, WE CROSS MILES
OF STAGNANT SWAMPS...

THIS DOESN'T SMELL
TOO GOOD.

...BEFORE FACING
OUR FINAL CHALLENGE --

A GLACIAL RIVER.

LET'S GO HOME!

I'M IN BRITISH COLUMBIA'S
WILDERNESS

WITH TWO HARD-CORE FANS,
JOE RESTO AND SEAN LACOSTE.

OVER NEARLY 48 HOURS,

I'VE PUSHED THEM
TO THEIR ABSOLUTE LIMITS.

[ SIGHS ]

OH, MAN.

THE GUYS ARE EXHAUSTED,
AND THEY'RE LOW.

I'M WET. I'M COLD.

THE RAIN WON'T STOP.
JUST [BLEEP] ME OFF.

WE'RE NOW WELL BELOW
THE TREE LINE

AND WADING THROUGH BOG
KNOWN AS MUSKEG.

YOU KNOW, BE REALLY CAREFUL
AS YOU TREAD.

IT'S REAL
ANKLE-TWISTING STUFF,

ALL THESE TUSSOCKS OF GRASS
IN BETWEEN ALL THE MARSH.

EVERY STEP IS ONE CLOSER
TO SHOWER, TO FOOD, TO NEW YORK.

THIS STAGNANT MUSKEG

IS A PERFECT BREEDING GROUND
FOR MOSQUITOS.

I HATE MOSQUITOS!

BUT MOTHER NATURE
HAS PROVIDED A SOLUTION.

OKAY.

COVERING YOURSELF WITH MUD

PUTS A PROTECTIVE LAYER
BETWEEN YOU AND THE MOSQUITO.

I THINK I'D RATHER HAVE
THE MOSQUITOS.

THIS DOESN'T SMELL
TOO GOOD.

OKAY.
LET'S KEEP GOING.

THERE'S A BIT OF A GAME TRAIL
OVER HERE.

USING ANIMAL TRACKS
MAKES THE GOING EASIER

AND VERY OFTEN LEADS
TO FRESHWATER.

LAST STRETCH, GUYS.
BIG PUSH, BIG ENERGY.

FURTHER DOWN THE VALLEY,

WE COME FACE-TO-FACE
WITH THE RIVER.

OH, NO.

IT'S WIDE AND CHARGING
WITH FREEZING WATER.

THIS IS [BLEEP] BUSTINGLY COLD
GLACIER WATER, THIS.

FOUR OR FIVE STRONG STROKES,
WE'LL BE ACROSS THAT.

THIS SUCKS.

THE WAY WE'RE GONNA DO THIS
IS EFFICIENTLY AND FAST.

WE WANT TO BE
IN THAT WATER

THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME
WE HAVE TO BE.

BUT WE'VE ALSO GOT TO
MAKE IT SAFE.

THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY
IN WATER THAT COLD,

YOU PANIC, AND THAT'S WHY
WE'RE GONNA USE THE ROPE.

I PRAYED FOR THIS
NOT TO HAPPEN, DUDE.

KEEPING OUR CLOTHES DRY
IS ESSENTIAL.

WE NEED TO GET WARM AS SOON
AS WE REACH THE OTHER SIDE.

ARE WE READY FOR THIS?

AND TO DO THAT,

WE'RE GONNA USE A BEND
IN THE RIVER TO OUR ADVANTAGE

AND LET THE CURRENT PIVOT US
FROM ONE BANK TO THE OTHER.

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK HARD
AGAINST THAT CURRENT, ALL RIGHT?

IT'S QUITE STRONG THERE.

WHOO!
VERY, VERY COLD.

EARLIER TODAY, SEAN HAD TROUBLE
IN THREE FEET OF WATER.

THIS RIVER
IS OVER SEVEN FEET DEEP.

SEAN, THE SWIM IS TAKING
YOU HOME, ALL RIGHT?

LET'S FINISH STRONG WITH THIS.
LET'S GO. LET'S GO.

WINDED AND HYPERVENTILATING,

SEAN TRIES TO POWER
THROUGH THE COLD, HEAVY WATER.

BUT HE'S STRUGGLING
TO MAKE ANY PROGRESS.

BUT THEN HE'S OUT.

WELL DONE, BUDDY.
WELL DONE. REALLY GOOD.

THIS IS A MASSIVE DEAL
FOR SEAN.

HE'S FACED HIS BIGGEST FEAR
AND SUCCEEDED.

BUT I CAN'T AFFORD FOR HIM
TO GET HYPOTHERMIA.

I NEED TO GET JOE ACROSS,
AND FAST.

THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.
KEEP IT COMING.

I'M REALLY PROUD OF MY TEAM.

THE GUYS HAVE PUT
A HUGE AMOUNT OF TRUST

IN BOTH ME AND THEMSELVES.

THEY'VE SHOWN BOTH GRIT
AND COURAGE.

HOW DOES THAT FEEL?

OH!
LET'S GO HOME!

THAT WAS
THE WORST EXPERIENCE

I'VE EVER HAD
IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

OH!

OKAY. KIT OPEN.
DRY KIT ON.

Lacoste:
I'VE NEVER MET JOE BEFORE.
I'VE NEVER MET BEAR BEFORE.

BUT WHEN IT COMES TO OUT HERE,
YOU HAVE TO TRUST PEOPLE.

THAT TRUST IS BIG

WHEN YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
ADVENTURES LIKE THIS.

I DON'T WANT
TO EVER DO THAT AGAIN.

HOPEFULLY,
I WON'T HAVE TO.

GET JACKETS ON, ROPES STOWED.
WE NEED TO GET MOVING.

LET'S GO.

YEAH, THESE GUYS HAVE
JUST DONE AMAZINGLY.

THEY ARRIVED HERE SCARED
AND PRETTY WIDE-EYED.

THEY'VE BEEN COLD, WET,
AND A BIT BUMPED.

AND FOR ME, THAT'S WHAT SURVIVAL
IS ALL ABOUT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ABOUT COMING
THROUGH THOSE EMOTIONS

AND THEN WINNING AT THE END
AND MAKING IT OUT.

GOOD GUYS.

COME ON.

HERE SHE COMES.

THAT'S IT, GUYS --
END OF THE JOURNEY.

YOU'VE DONE IT.
WE'RE GOING HOME.

OH, MY GOD.

THAT'S A SWEET,
SWEET SOUND.

THE LAST 48 HOURS
HAVE BEEN HUGE FOR US ALL.

IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE TO WATCH

THE GUYS' STRENGTH
AND CONFIDENCE JUST GROW.

I'M ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
TAKING PEOPLE

WHO'VE GOT NO EXPERIENCE
INTO A VERY WILD PLACE.

IT'S ONE THING OPERATING
ON MY OWN.

SUDDENLY YOU'VE GOT OTHER
PEOPLE'S LIVES IN YOUR HAND.

Resto:
HE INSTILLED A LOT OF TRUST.

I THINK THAT WAS
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

I LEARNED ON THIS JOURNEY,
WAS LEARN TO TRUST.

WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE
WHO'S NEVER DONE IT BEFORE

SUDDENLY ON THE EDGE
OF THE CLIFF,

AND YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL
THEIR HEART BEATING.

I COULD SEE
THAT LOOK OF HORROR.

BUT HE DID IT,
AND THAT'S AMAZING TO SEE.

Lacoste:
AS TERRIFIED AS I WAS,

I THINK IT MADE ME A STRONGER
PERSON BY COMING OUT HERE

AND EXPERIENCING IT

AND PUTTING MYSELF
IN THOSE KIND OF SITUATIONS.

AND IT REALLY DID PUSH US
TO THE LIMIT.

Grylls:
I THINK IT'S ALWAYS CAPTIVATING,

SEEING SOMEBODY
OVERCOME REAL STRUGGLES.

WE GAVE THEM
THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.

WE DIDN'T KIND OF HAND IT
TO THEM.

AND WE THREW THEM IN,
LITERALLY, THE DEEP END.

THIS IS "MAN VS. WILD."
THIS IS THE REAL DEAL.

WE CAME TO CANADA,
AND WE'RE DONE WITH CANADA.

THIS EXPERIENCE
HAS BEEN UNBELIEVABLE.
