ANTHONY (yells):
Bear, Bear, Bear Grylls!

Bear told me to come meet
him out in this meadow.

I have no idea where he is. I'm from
Compton. There are no meadows in Compton.

I was a Cub Scout, a
Webelos, almost a Boy Scout.

I brought a roll of toilet paper.

Two-ply. Two-ply.

(tense music)

(muffled) I'm flying over
the Sierra Nevadas

on my way to pick up
actor Anthony Anderson

These massive mountains are riddled with
high alpine lakes, a ton of bears,

and then these huge,
towering granite rock faces.

One of the greatest challenges of
surviving in the wild

is learning to make do with very little.

Which is why on this journey,
we're going in lightweight.

All Anthony is going to have
with him is one coil of rope.

I'm going to be teaching him
some key survival skills.

It's going to be up to him to get
us out of this place in one piece.

Welcome to Running Wild: The Challenge.

Okay, here we go.

BEAR: This is Anthony Anderson.
A man with a lasso, alone in the wild.

He's one of the busiest men in Hollywood.

He executive produced three hit TV shows,
in Black-ish, Mixed-ish, and Grown-ish.

As well as hosted, To Tell the Truth,
with his mother Doris.

Anthony is no stranger to family
dynamics on and off the screen,

and since family is the tie that binds,

what better way to start off our adventure
than with only a single coil of rope?

(yells) Got it! You saw that, right?

(helicopter whirring)
(dramatic music)

-Nice to see you, my friend.
-(yells) You know how to make an entrance.

BEAR: We're going to start this
journey skydiving. We're jumping in.

ANTHONY:
Jumping from the helicopter, hell no!

-You're gonna love it.
-Yeah.

Welcome to Running Wild!
(Anthony laughs)

(dramatic music)

BEAR: Check, check, check.
Good to go. Let's do it.

All right.

BEAR:
So what have you got in your bag?

Toilet paper and a pair of socks. (laughs)

Ok, so you know I said
we're going lightweight?

-No.
-Means we're going to get rid of these.

-All we're taking is our rope.
-What?

You got to look around for
landmarks, where this is gonna be.

Because on the journey,
we need to find these again.

You've got mountains, you've
got valleys, you've got lakes.

ANTHONY:
What?!

BEAR:
One more!

ANTHONY:
But that's my toilet paper!

BEAR: Now we go to altitude.
10,000 feet, you're gonna love it.

ANTHONY:
Wow.

Bear I think my cell phone was in there.

BEAR: Anthony's and my
deployment will start at 16,000 feet,

jumping out of a helicopter into
the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

This high, there is only 70%
of the oxygen there is at sea level,

so we brought some
supplemental oxygen with us.

As we deploy for our mission,

we'll be dropping past some of the highest
and most jagged peaks in North America

to try and hit our target, a chain of
mountain lakes at almost 8,000 feet.

From there we'll be trekking through
the region in search of our backpacks,

and along the way I'll teach Anthony
some life-saving survival skills,

including how to navigate
and how to tie knots.

On Day 2, Anthony will have to
master both of these skills

in order to reach his extraction point,

but our first objective
is to find our backpacks.

And to do that, we've
gotta nail this jump.

-ANTHONY: I'm ******* scared.
-BEAR: Just relax, breathe, and enjoy it.

You got this.

Because this is Anthony's first ever jump,

he'll be going tandem with one of
our team, and I'll be jumping solo.

We are going for accuracy on this jump
to avoid crashing into these peaks

and to get as close as
possible to our bags.

I hope Anthony's ready. If our
timing is off or we drift off course,

we could all too easily
crash into the mountains.

Oh.

-Okay, Anthony.
-Hold on.

-Ready?
-Wait a minute.

-Ready.
-No!

Set. See ya.

(Anthony screams)

(dramatic music)

Oh, my God!

(screams)

(both grunt)
ANTHONY: Oh, oh, ****, oh, whew!

(Anthony groans)

(screams)

Oh, my God. There is nothing,
like jumping out of a helicopter.

Nothing like it. If this is how our
adventure is gonna start, okay, baby.

Well, it's safe to say that is a
million miles an hour start

-to a Running Wild journey.
-I wasn't ready, Bear.

-If you got to go, you got to go.
-And we went, baby.

Anthony is definitely in at the deep end,
but, I wouldn't have it any other way.

It's gonna be fun.

From here on in, that's all we got.

The challenge over us is this,
we've dumped those backpacks.

We do need to try and find those but until
that point, we're living off the land,

all we got is this.

I've got a compass. That's about it.
You know, and then our wits.

Navigation and making do with the bare
essentials are key survival skills.

So, to challenge Anthony, I've
thrown our backpacks into the wild.

We must now rely on our rope
and our navigation to find the bags.

You know, there are a lot
of lakes in these mountains.

(Anthony hums)

We're gonna keep heading due west.
And, we're looking out for a lake.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

(tense music)

BEAR (calls):
Yo bear, yo bear!

ANTHONY: Want to knock and
make sure nobody's home Bear?

BEAR: Yeah. Well, good to make your
presence known also for bears around here.

Okay.

BEAR: You know, we have a thing when,
I move, I'm going, "Yo bear, yo bear!"

ANTHONY:
Okay.

BEAR:
To make sure they know you're coming.

Bears are especially
dangerous this time of year,

especially if you surprise them
their young and they're feeding out...

Okay.

You can do, well, you're an
opera singer, you can do noise.

Yup. (calls) Yo bear. Yo bear.

(heavy breathing)

-BEAR: You good?
-ANTHONY: I'm good.

-So where did you grow up?
-ANTHONY: I grew up in Compton, Bear.

-BEAR: Where's Compton?
-Los Angeles.

-BEAR: Yeah.
-Compton, California.

-Yeah.
-Yeah. And what's, what's that like?

-ANTHONY: What's it like?
-BEAR: Yeah.

Nothing like this, I tell you that much.

-BEAR (laughs): Well, proper urban.
-Real urban.

-BEAR: City, yeah.
-Real urban. Yeah.

You know, I'm 50 now. So, I grew up
in a time of, you know, gang violence,

the crack epidemic and all that.

It made me the man that
I am today. I tell you that much.

(Bear hums)
It taught me about survival.

I had to walk through
rival gang territories.

(Bear hums)

You know, just in order to get to school,

and then I had to take
that trip back home.

'Cause you never knew, who or what
was waiting for you at that next corner.

I've always been quick-witted and funny.
(Bear hums)

So, I was able to talk my
way out of a lot of things.

-BEAR: That's interesting.
-Yeah.

Do you think that's where a lot of it came
from, is you had to think on your feet.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You had to improvise.

Yeah.

You know, you get someone laughing,
with you, you know, they let you slide by.

-Yeah.
-ANTHONY: Yeah.

Well, that served you well.

-It did.
-Yeah.

-It did.
-We're going up.

(Anthony grunts)

-Watch your footing through there.
-ANTHONY: Uh-huh.

So how do you stay in
shape for something like this?

BEAR:
Oh, look. Look, look.

ANTHONY:
Oh!

BEAR:
We're about to stand right on on bear poo.

-That's bear poo?
-BEAR: Yeah. Look.

-ANTHONY: What?
-BEAR: There's bears in the area.

ANTHONY:
I didn't sign up for this.

That is most definitely bear poop.

-Yeah, okay, it's, we good, yeah, okay.
-Oh, yeah, smell that.

No, you dropped your compass.

-(laughs) I've got it.
-ANTHONY: Yeah.

Look, you can even see the
little bits of berries and stuff.

-Yeah, yeah, that's what mine looks like.
-And that's fresh.

Oh, yeah.

He just tried to put it in my face and
smell it, and talking about it's fresh.

Well, if it's fresh, we need
to get the hell up out of here.

(dramatic sting)

BEAR: Anthony Anderson and I are
traversing the Sierra Nevadas

and we've just encountered
fresh bear droppings.

It smells like, we may not be alone.

We are in true bear country up here.

You know, brown bears
as well as black bears.

So, you do need to be on your game.

-So, what does that mean if it's fresh?
-Means we need to keep singing.

-Okay.
-Yeah. Bears in the area.

(calls) Yo-bear!

So, you just walk around picking
up bear **** like that, Bear?

Yeah, yeah, I do quite a lot.

Okay, look, look, here
you go, our first lake.

Okay.

BEAR: Yeah, so the bags.
No sign of the bags.

I'm hoping, when we do
come across the right lake,

we should see it in the middle.

We know that our bags are in a lake
that is west from where we jumped in.

But to be able to find our bags,
we have to first find west.

So, the first skill I want to teach
Anthony is navigating with a compass.

Nowadays we're all used to having
GPS. But if you're truly off the grid,

knowing how to use a compass can be
the difference between life and death.

-You ever used a compass before?
-Once or twice.

-Okay, so that green there is your north.
-Okay.

BEAR:
The first skill I'm teaching Anthony,

is how to use a compass without a map.

The needle on your compass will
always point to magnetic north

but the key to navigation is
to find true geographic north.

But depending where you are in the world,

there will be a magnetic variation
between magnetic north, and true north.

In this region of the Sierras,

the difference between magnetic and the
true geographic north is about 13 degrees.

So, if we offset the
compass by that amount,

we know we'll be heading in the right
direction, heading west towards our bags.

-BEAR: Okay.
-ANTHONY: There we go.

So, we need to go that way.

No. So, we need to go
that, that's gonna be north.

Oh, that's north.

So you're heading,
always following the red.

-ANTHONY: So, I will follow the red.
-Yeah.

-Okay, so that way?
-Good, got it?

All right. So, we're one lake in.

-Clear as mud.
-No bags.

(Bear laughs)
And we have to keep going that way.

-BEAR: Yeah.
-ANTHONY: All right.

-BEAR: You got it.
-ANTHONY: I got it.

-Good job.
-All right.

(energetic music)

BEAR (calls):
Yo bear, yo bear!

-Stick on the dry ones, there you go.
-ANTHONY: All right.

BEAR:
Good Job. Look at you, nice balance.

Look, another lake.

Oh, look, come this way.

-ANTHONY: Alright.
-Look.

(Bear laughs)
ANTHONY: Are those our bags?

BEAR (laughs):
Those look very like our backpacks.

ANTHONY: How do we get our bags
out of the middle of the lake?

BEAR:
First problem is we need to get down.

(dramatic music)

ANTHONY: Wait, wait, wait, hold on, what,
what do you mean drop down there?

BEAR: Let's find a way
down and then a way across.

So, it's exciting to get a
little break in the trees,

be able to look down and see distinct
two backpacks in the middle of this lake.

So that's first mission accomplished.

Well, almost, we spotted them,
we now got to get to them.

(dramatic music)

The problem is there is a steep drop off
here. Keep trying to look for a way down.

Eventually we need to just stop,
find a way down, and recover our gear.

You ever rappelled
using a rope off a cliff?

I've never rappelled
using a rope off a cliff.

BEAR (laughs):
What about tied your own knot?

ANTHONY:
We didn't have many cliffs in Compton.

BEAR (laughs): Yeah.

No, I've never tied my own knot
other than tying my shoes.

-Okay, well, that's a start.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

-We do need to teach you a knot though.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

Okay, 'cause later on this
journey, you never know,

there might be a time where you need
to do it and your life depends on it.

I might not be there.
You need to know how to do this.

Okay.

Okay, so what we're gonna
do, simple figure of eight.

-You want it to look like that.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

BEAR: The figure of eight knot is one of
the most important knots in climbing.

Every beginner climber should know it.

It's a stopper knot that prevents
the rope from sliding through.

The figure of eight is easy to
safety check and easy to tie,

but if done wrong can be disastrous.

To tie a figure of eight you create a loop
then go round the back of the rope

and back down that first loop.
That creates a shape of a figure of eight.

Loop the rope around the
object you're tying to,

and then rethread it following the line of
the rope around that figure of eight.

When it's done right, it looks neat
and clean, like that figure eight.

-I know you got it around right here.
-Yeah.

ANTHONY: You got it around right here.
-BEAR: Yup, yup.

-ANTHONY: Come around right here.
-BEAR: Yeah, and back down.

-ANTHONY: Bring it back down through here.
-BEAR: Yup. And then pull.

ANTHONY:
That's figure-eight.

BEAR: It's really important that
Anthony gets a grip with this knot,

'cause at the end of the journey,
I've got a little surprise for him.

And one thing he's gonna need to do is
be able to tie that fast under pressure.

And I just hope that
Anthony's been concentrating.

So, let's say we go,
all the way around this.

So, to get down this cliff face is
about 70-odd foot to the bottom.

Yup, it's a long way down.
Okay so, I'm gonna go first.

-Okay.
-BEAR: The right hand is your brake hand.

Pulling back, pulling back, this will run
through but this is what's stopping me.

You never take your hand off that,
otherwise you're gonna fall.

Okay.

When you're at the edge, walk it back,

but trust it, don't try and be upright,
lean back, trust the system.

-All right?
-All right.

(tense music)

BEAR (yells):
Okay, Anthony, I'm off the line.

(yells) Okay, why don't you just go grab
the bags and just meet me back up here?

BEAR: We still wanna go that way.
We gotta cross the lake.

We're only about a half of the way.

So come to the edge nice wide
stance and lean back. You got this.

(tense music)

(groans)

BEAR: That's it. Keep leaning
back. Letting the rope out.

That's it. Keep letting the rope out.

Then as you get more and more of an
angle, you can start the walk back.

That's it. Oh, look, you look awesome.
Keep leaning back. There you go.

Lean back. I'm leaning back,
this **** is slipping and it's not...

(tense music)

(yells)

(dramatic music)

(yells)

-BEAR: Keep leaning back, there you go.
-Lean back.

BEAR:
Feed it through now. Feed it through.

You can let it go a bit faster now,
you got it. Now, you're on the face.

(Anthony breathes heavily)

BEAR:
Keep walking back. Keep walking it back.

-ANTHONY: Whew!
-BEAR: Great job, Anthony.

ANTHONY: Ah. Oh, ****.

(groans)

BEAR:
Keep going, keep going. Legendary.

-ANTHONY (gasps): Oh, God. All right.
-BEAR: Well done.

That was a long way, you know?
It doesn't get more vertical than that.

When I told you I had
a sense of adventure, I lied.

(Bear laughs)
(Anthony gasps)

BEAR:
One of the things Anthony needs to do

is really kinda stay
switched on about this knot.

You know, I'm not
teaching him this just for fun,

I'm teaching it cause there will be times
on this journey where he needs to do this.

And now we need to flick
this off. Get the rope back.

You know it's a key knot to
know if you're gonna climb.

One, two, three, give it a flick. Whoa!

ANTHONY:
For some reason,

I think I'm gonna need to know how to do
that knot by the way he keeps telling me,

"Hey Anthony you really
need to know this knot."

Why? You're here.

-BEAR: Okay, Anthony. There are the bags.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

Oh, I just, yeah, we just, okay,
we're just doing it, okay.

-Oh, oh. (whoops)
-There we go.

(yells) Hold on, Bear, this
lake is cold! ****. Bear, hold on!

BEAR: This feels a little
deeper than maybe knee-deep.

-You know, Black people don't swim, Bear.
-Don't sink on me.

ANTHONY: ****. Oh, Bear! Bear!
Who talked me into this ****?

I don't wanna get my hair wet.
(Bear laughs)

BEAR: It's never fun getting soaking
wet in cold high alpine lakes,

but it was the only
way we're gonna get these bags.

ANTHONY:
Hope these were waterproof.

I was kind of excited
when we found the right lake.

Less excited when I started
getting up to my queen's breeze,

realizing quite how cold it was.

-BEAR: Oh, my God.
-Oh, Bear!

Oh, I think I found something.

-There you go. That will... (laughs)
-It was two-ply.

Don't know what it is now.

BEAR: Definitely a big part of the mission
that we've now found these backpacks,

we got hammocks in them for the night,

we're gonna start thinking
about food and shelter soon.

Also knife, fire starter was all in
those packs. So, that's good news.

We're gonna recover five
minutes here and then push on.

Well, it's good having the supplies.
I'm sorry about the toilet paper,

-but everything else is good.
-ANTHONY: Sure.

We're gonna use it. We've got
our hammocks in there as well.

(grunts) So, how did you get your
kind of big break initially?

My big break didn't happen until I was 25.

A show called In The House
with Debbie Allen and LL Cool J.

Was there a lot of rejection before then?

It was, but that's what our business is.
That's the nature of our business.

What was the one that really
changed your life?

Working with Martin Scorsese in
The Departed is one.

(Bear hums)

Partnering with my partner Kenya Barris

and creating our show Black-ish is
another. We've been on eight seasons now.

-So, to be a part...
I mean, that's a phenomenon, isn't it?

ANTHONY: Yeah, it is. This is all I ever
wanted to do since I was nine years old.

BEAR:
Oh, wow, since you're nine?

Yeah, my mom was an
aspiring actress, growing up.

She ended up having me at the age
of 17. So, she was a single mother.

So, she put her dreams and aspirations of
being an actor on hold to raise an actor,

-not knowing that's what she was doing.
-Yeah.

And was your mom encouraging
for you to have the aspiration to act?

Oh, she was. My mom, to
this day, is still my biggest fan

and was my biggest fan when
I had nothing going for me.

So sweet.

Yeah, she saw in me
what she saw in herself.

I'm in a position now

that I'm able to allow my mother
to realize and live her dream.

For the last eight to nine years,
we've been working side by side,

in TV commercials, with our game show.

And I'm able to sit back and see my mom
live out the dream that she always had.

BEAR:
That's so special for her.

-ANTHONY: It's a beautiful thing.
-BEAR (laughs): Yeah.

ANTHONY:
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing.

BEAR: When are the hard times
for you in terms of recognition?

Just when you just want
to be with your family.

out in public places, amusement parks, you
know, coming up to the mountains to ski.

And how are your, how
are your family with it?

ANTHONY:
My family's cool with it, you know,

they get excited, you know,
especially my mom.

You know, you hear the whispers around,

it's like (whispers), "I think that's
Anthony, I think, is that...?"

And then my mama be,
(yells) "Yeah, it's him,

it's him, come, girl,
you want a picture?

Come on take this picture
with him, he don't mind."

-(laughs) He don't mind.
-And I'm like, mama, yes.

-BEAR: And you go, "mama..."
-Mama, yes, I do. I'm chilling.

-(laughs) "He don't mind."
-ANTHONY: I'm chilling.

BEAR:
She sounds a remarkable woman, your mum.

She is. I wish you could do
a Bears Grylls with parents

and have my mama out here jumping out
of a plane, and see what she would do.

BEAR (laughs):
Yeah, okay, we gotta push on.

-All right, let's go.
-Otherwise, we're gonna lose the light.

-ANTHONY: All right.
-BEAR: And we need to find a camp.

(dramatic music)

So, both of us still wet and pretty cold,
it's getting towards the end of the day.

Definitely now thinking about somewhere
to make camp before it gets dark.

Also, mindful we haven't
yet got anything to eat

so definitely keeping a bit
of an eye out for that.

Look, another little pool,
another little lake.

-Oh, look!
-ANTHONY: What?

BEAR: Did you see that?
A little fish just jumped out.

-ANTHONY: Don't tell me that's dinner.
-There's another one there.

Look, they must love this little corner of
the lake. The end, look, stops here.

-ANTHONY: What are we gonna do?
-BEAR: You ever been fishing?

(wood snaps)
(Bear grunts)

Okay. This would be a good place
to try and get some dinner.

We've got all of these thickets here,
which are perfect for making like a staff.

Clean the end of it off,
from all the little branches,

and then split the end two ways, so one,
twice, splays out like four prongs.

And then all you got to do
is sharpen up those prongs.

So take some of these out
and then use that to tie it.

Tied off with some ropes to
stop it splitting all the way

and then use that to like try and
(gory sound) skewer one of these fish.

(groans) It's stinking and deep. Okay.

ANTHONY (groans):
Oh, Bear, it's cold again!

-Shhhh. We're fishing.
-ANTHONY: Oh.

I didn't think they
could hear me underwater.

-So, this is a dead-end bit.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

So, if we like sweep up this way,
the fish have nowhere to go.

That's where I saw that first one jump and
the second one was somewhere in here.

And then you want your staff in the water.

You want it underwater,
so, if you see something,

then all you got to do
is (click) like that.

-ANTHONY: Okay.
-BEAR: But stealthily moving,

try not to kick up too much silt,
because obviously with the silt,

-then we can't see it.
-Okay.

BEAR: This is normally really hard to do.
The only way you can do this successfully

is if you can corner fish and
this is a perfect place.

We've seen a couple
jump here, it's a dead end.

And if we sweep out that
way and it's shallow enough

we actually stand a good
chance of getting something.

(shallow breathing)
(suspenseful music)

(whispers) Okay, so, look, I'm just
gonna stand here, you keep moving.

(whispers) Okay.

Bear, I think I got one right here.

Damn it.

(grunts) No.

(grunting)

Here's one.

No, oh, it's turned up all the silt.

It's going back your way
it's going back your way.

-BEAR: Go, go, go.
-Okay, okay, okay.

Hit it.

(Anthony grunts)
Got it?

I think I got something, Bear.
I, oh, yes, I got something, Bear.

(cackles)

(grunts)

-Got it?
-I think I got something, Bear.

(cackles)

(Bear laughs)

-ANTHONY: Oh.
-That's all the bubbles from the mud.

Yeah, I thought I had it.

BEAR: There's one coming
your way. Run, run, run.

-ANTHONY: Oh, okay, okay, okay.
-BEAR: Go, go, go, go.

-ANTHONY (yells): Bear, I think I got it.
-BEAR: Really?

ANTHONY: I think I... (cackles)
(Bear laughs)

-What the hell is this?
-BEAR: It's a carp. I mean, good job.

You've just got us dinner
where I missed about three.

(Anthony grunts)

-Respect.
-ANTHONY: Respect, baby. I appreciate you.

BEAR:
Good job. That's gonna feed us well.

I've never done anything like this before.

I really didn't think this was gonna
work, or at least work in my hands.

And the sun shines on a
dog's ass every now and again

and it shined on mine today.

-BEAR: Well done.
-ANTHONY: Yeah.

BEAR: Well done.
Okay, now, to make camp.

(both breathing heavily)

We are 100% in bear country now,

and we not only got that to worry about
but we've got fresh catch to worry about.

And when it's the smell of cooking
fish, bears are gonna be happy,

so we need to be aware of that one.

ANTHONY (yells):
How much further, Bear?

BEAR: I think we could use some of these
trees here. Hammocks up between them.

Well, you could use your knot on this,
you can thread that figure of eight.

-Okay, you take that.
-ANTHONY: Uh-huh.

So, you go around this tree.

-Yeah, go again.
-ANTHONY: Yeah.

I used a variation of the
figure-eight knot on the hammocks.

Hopefully, they hold.

-I know they'll hold for Bear, but...
-BEAR: It's pretty good.

ANTHONY:
...when you're my size,

we'll see if that figure 8 knot is going
to "bear" the weight of me, so to speak.

-All we need to do now is gut the fish.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

-Get the fire going.
-ANTHONY: We gonna gut it?

-BEAR: Yeah.
-ANTHONY: Yeah.

(Anthony groans)

Just gently, watch your hand,
there you go. That will do.

-ANTHONY: All right.
-And then get your hand in there.

-No, I'm not gonna get my hand in there.
-Come on, you got to get the guts out.

-You get the guts out, I cut it, man.
-Okay, I suppose you did catch it.

Yeah. Oh. (hums)

BEAR: Okay, so look, we
got a little bit of shelter,

under this tree.
(Anthony hums)

Make this fire, dry grass here,
so now all you're gonna do,

Anthony, hold that and then drive
for sparks like that into that pile.

ANTHONY:
Okay.

-BEAR: There you go.
-ANTHONY: Come on, baby.

(Anthony hums)

(yells) Oh. Fire. Oh, fire!

Well, that means we can get dry,
that means we can cook the fish,

and that means good deterrent from
bears as well once you get the fire going.

Great job.

-Bears don't like fire?
-Well, of course not.

-That's our deterrent. Yeah.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

BEAR: Okay. What do you think for cooking
this? Straight through the gullet?

-ANTHONY: Is that how we do it?
-Why not?

ANTHONY:
You act like you've done this before.

BEAR:
There you go. That's pretty good.

So, what's a normal day
look like for you back home?

A normal day now? 7:00 AM,
working out in the gym.

-BEAR: Really?
-Yeah, man.

I'm boxing now, so I
box for an hour and a half.

But, a normal day outside of working out,
our show "Black-ish" 12 to 14 hours a day.

-Really? Is that how much it is?
-ANTHONY: Yeah, five days a week.

Yeah, that's how we shoot our show. It
takes us five days to shoot an episode,

and we work from the beginning of
August to the middle of March.

-BEAR: Yeah.
-24 episodes.

Black-ish has had such
an impact around the world.

You know, we took a page from, you know,
Norman Lear in shows like The Jeffersons,

All in the Family, and Good Times,
that had social relevance.

(Bear hums)

And had something to say about
the time in which they lived.

And I believe that's
what we're doing with our show.

(Bear hums)

Yeah, I just wanna make a difference.
I want where I come from,

the community in which I come from,

to be a better place than what it was
once I entered it and once I left.

-BEAR: Yeah.
-ANTHONY: Yeah.

And family is a big, big thing
for you in your life, isn't it?

Oh, it is. Yeah, because
at the end of the day,

that's where it starts and
that's where it ends, you know.

Yeah.

That family is all that we have.

Yeah. You didn't have it easy
with your dad growing up, did you?

Nah, I never knew my
biological father really.

Yeah. And, you know, what not
knowing my biological father showed me

and taught me was that, you know,
I didn't want that for my children.

-Yeah.
-ANTHONY: You know.

That breaking that cycle
was what it was all about for me.

(Bear hums)

And, hopefully, I've done that.

Well, if you love what you do and
you have a close, tight family.

(Anthony hums)

And you're a humble individual,
which you are as well,

-you're doing something right in life.
-Yeah. Thank you, bro.

-Good for you.
-ANTHONY: Thank you, baby.

Good for you. Are you
ready to try some fish?

-I'm ready.
-BEAR: We better eat it.

ANTHONY:
All right.

BEAR: Okay, it's got a few
bones in it. Watch out for that.

ANTHONY:
All right.

(Anthony hums)

This is an absolute stellar dinner.

ANTHONY:
Yeah, yeah, I wish we had a little...

(Bear hums)
...A little seasoning salt.

(Bear hums)

Well, it's better than half the
stuff I've seen you eat on your show.

Yeah, yeah.

Days like this don't come along often.
When they do, they are sweet.

-So, respect and thank you.
-ANTHONY: Respect. Respect due.

(dramatic music)

-BEAR (single mic): You ready?
-ANTHONY (single mic): I'm ready.

All right. What do you got for me?

BEAR: One of my favorite,
favorite wilderness snacks.

Uh-huh.

(adventurous music)

BEAR:
Anthony's fish was delicious,

but I've also got a
little surprise in my pocket.

Something I've picked up on our journey

that I think is gonna make
a nice, nutty night cap.

-BEAR: Here we go. One maggot.
-Oh.

(groans) I didn't know this
was gonna happen!

-Oh, beautiful.
-Here it is, a live maggot.

ANTHONY:
I can't swallow it.

Oh, yeah, this is truly
some white boy ****.

BEAR (laughs): "Some white boy ****."
(Anthony groans)

(tense music)

BEAR: Yesterday I taught Anthony
two essential survival skills,

navigation and knot tying.

Our successful extraction now
depends on him executing these skills

with only the single coil of rope and the
compass that we started our journey with.

(bird calls)
ANTHONY (grunts): Bear?

BEAR:
It's time for him to face the wild, alone.

(exhales)

ANTHONY: "I've gone on
ahead to scout the route.

Take the compass and follow the bearing
95 degrees for one and a half miles,

then due north. See you there. Bear."

All right. (sighs)

You know, when I woke up
this morning, Bear was gone.

I thought Bear might be in the woods doing
what you do first thing in the morning,

but no, he wasn't.

95.

Where the hell is 95?

I'm trying to find 95 degrees due north...

and you know, he told me something
about putting the arrow in the arrow...

Turn that there and
then turn that to that.

Let's go there.

(dramatic music)

All right. According to this,

I'm just gonna keep that tall pine tree
as my guide. Let's hope that works.

Oh, ****!

It said 195 degrees,

which I read as 95 degrees and
then halfway through my journey,

I realized I was walking
in the wrong direction.

Not over there, it's over there.

You know, I don't know how
they do where he's from,

but that one didn't look like a one.

And once I was walking through
these meadows and whatnot,

I didn't think I was going due north,
so I figured it out, I figured it out.

♪ La donna e mobile,
qual piuma al vento! ♪

♪ Muta d'accento. E di pensiero. ♪

♪ La donna e mobile. ♪

(yells) Bear!

(yells) Hey, watch out for the bears.

I hear you.

Come on, let's get moving.

The longest mile and a half...

-ANTHONY (yells): What?!
-I've ever known.

-(yells) Bear!
-BEAR (yells): Follow the voice!

At least I can hear him now.
All he's got to do is follow the voice.

I was worried at one point he was
about to shoot out that other valley.

(dramatic music)

-(yells) Anthony.
-ANTHONY (yells): Yeah.

BEAR: Keep coming in this direction.
That's it, straight towards me.

-You'll see me on the high ground.
-ANTHONY: All right.

(foreboding music)

Well done, good job.
How was the navigation?

ANTHONY: I figured it out.
Why the hell did you leave me?

Well, to give you a little test.
Here's another one.

Come to the base of that and tie
yourself in. You remember that knot?

-The figure-eight?
-BEAR: That's the one.

ANTHONY:
I thought all the hard part was over.

BEAR:
This is the last challenge for Anthony,

a steep 80-foot granite rock face.

He was mostly able to use his new
compass skills to navigate this far,

but now he faces a challenge,
where mostly won't cut it.

Once we're up here, we just follow the
ridge-line all the way to our extraction,

way to our extraction and then a
helicopter is gonna pick us up.

BEAR: His only safety will be a
rope attached to his harness

and he'll be relying on the figure of
eight knot that I taught him yesterday.

BEAR:
Good job. So, take your time.

-That's looking good.
-ANTHONY: Okay, this is it.

BEAR:
His life literally depends on that knot.

If it fails, he could fall to his death.

How's that look, it looks
like a double figure of eight?

-It looks like a double figure eight.
-BEAR: Good job, okay.

Yeah, definitely worth getting this right.
Your life's gonna depend on this one.

(dramatic music)

Well, it doesn't look like
Bear's, but I feel secure.

(grunts)
I think.

All right. (grunts)

BEAR: That's it. Nice. Use that
buttress. That's good. Great.

ANTHONY:
Okay.

-BEAR: One, two, three, there we go.
-ANTHONY: All right.

BEAR: Okay, come to your
left, right into that crack.

Use your feet as much as
you can, use your leg strength.

-Okay. (grunts)
-BEAR: Nice good footholds.

You've got a nice handhold
just above your left hand.

One, two, three.

(dramatic music)
(yells in frustration)

Oh, **** Bear.

Okay, I'm slipping!

(yells)

(tense music)

(yells)

Okay, okay, okay,
I got it, I got it, I got it.

(grunt)

Oh, I feel like Free Solo right now.
(Bear laughs)

BEAR: So, if you can get on to that
big rock that your left arm is on.

-ANTHONY: Yeah.
-BEAR: You then got a clear line up here.

ANTHONY:
Okay. Oh, good thing I...

Pull hard with your right
hand to get your left leg up.

ANTHONY: All right, all right.
On a count of three again, one.

-BEAR: Okay, one, two, three....
-Two. Three.

(groaning) I'm trying.

BEAR: Okay, get that
left leg up if you can.

-Hold on, I'm gonna grab the rope.
-BEAR: Okay, there you go, there you go.

Now big strong left push.

-ANTHONY: All right. One, two, three.
-BEAR: One, two, three.

(grunting)

-BEAR: There you go. Great, okay.
-Okay, all right.

BEAR:
Now you're into the crack itself here.

ANTHONY:
Yeah, I've been there before.

(panting)
(dramatic music)

What do you need me to do, Bear?

BEAR: What about the left leg? There's
a little ledge just above your shin.

That's a good one. There you go.

-ANTHONY: Right there?
-BEAR: Yeah, okay.

-ANTHONY (grunts): All right.
-BEAR: There you go.

(Anthony grunting)
BEAR: Yeah, yeah, we got you, we got you.

I don't think I'm supposed to be climbing
on my knees though, Bear. Hold on.

BEAR: That's okay, that's
okay, whatever it takes.

ANTHONY:
Okay, hold on, let me grab the rope.

Yeah, grab the rope.

(grunts)

Good work.

Yeah, here we go. Your last six foot.

ANTHONY:
One, two, three. (grunts)

BEAR: There we go, get that
knee up, knee up, one leg up.

There you go. You got it, you got it.

-ANTHONY (grunting): I got it.
-BEAR: You got it.

BEAR: There you go. One, two, three.
(Anthony grunts)

Great.

(gasping) Look at that.
I almost lost my boot.

(Bear laughs)

My knot held up well.
I'm still here. Yeah, baby.

-That wasn't an easy climb, you know.
-(panting) No, it wasn't.

It hasn't been an easy couple
of days out here with you.

(laughs)

I struggled a little bit trying to figure
out, where to put my arms and legs,

you know, rock climbing
for the first time.

You know, you have to find the right
place, you have to find the right footing.

But, the climb was
great, it was exhilarating,

you know, I feel literally like I'm on top
of the world, look at me right here.

To go through what we've gone
through in these couple days,

and to sit here right now

and just look out on the horizon
and reflect on what we've done.

BEAR:
Yeah.

And then to sit here and
just to take it all in, man,

it's been an eye-opening experience.
(Bear laughs)

I told you that, you know, a lot of
the people that I grew up with,

literally on my block, the majority
of them are no longer with us.

(Bear hums)

And so, everything that I
accomplish in my life,

I dedicate to them.
(Bear hums)

Anthony Anderson, what a
guy and what a journey as well,

that he's had in his life.

But I think if I had to sum him up,
I would say; hard working, for sure,

fearless, and throws himself into whatever
he's doing, you know, 100% committed.

And for a survivor,
hey, those are key skills.

They're also key skills,
I think, for life.

-One of the privileges of my job...
-Uh-huh?

As chief scout, I get to give young
heroes badges and occasionally,

I get to give older heroes badges.

But here you go.
That is the world scout badge.

-Thank you. Hey, look.
-BEAR: Congratulations, my friend.

ANTHONY:
Figure-eight. (laughs)

There you go. It was meant
to be, eh? It was meant to be.

Oh, yes, it was.

BEAR: Anthony as a kid,
as a scout, never got a badge.

There is a man who deserves a badge.
I think we've just invented one.

It's called the badge of grit,
sweat, blood, mud, effort,

endeavor and never giving up.

Good for you.

-We're almost there. We got the last push.
-ANTHONY: Okay.

I promised your family that I'll
deliver you back in one piece.

-Are you ready?
-ANTHONY: I'm ready.

-BEAR: Okay.
-ANTHONY: All right.

(dramatic music)

Okay, so, Anthony,

this is where the helicopter is gonna
come and pick us up on this high point.

ANTHONY:
Okay.

BEAR: And then when we go,
we're gonna pop the smoke.

(helicopter whirring)
(dramatic music)

It sounds like a chopper. Okay,
there we go. Let's fire that.

Okay, put it down,
now throw it down there.

Bear, I mean this from the bottom of my
heart, this is a term of endearment,

you are a ************, man.

I wouldn't have anybody on my
team other than you, brother.

Thank you for showing me and
giving me a new lease on life

and showing me and taking me on an
adventure that I could only dream of.

And, this right here,
this badge that you gave me

that you said I earned, it means a lot.

(loudly) Ready to fly?

ANTHONY (loudly):
Oh, God!

Thank you.

Oh, God.

(Anthony whoops and hollers)

Running Wild, The Challenge.

ANTHONY:
(cheering) There's nothing like it, baby.

(continued cheering))
