(dramatic music)

(oxen footsteps, rattling of cart)

FLORENCE: Now this is the
kind of Ubers that I like.

(oxen huffs)
(Florence laughs)

I'm somewhere in the
middle of Costa Rica,

I'm currently sat on a hay bale,
in an ox cart, holding rope.

And I'm about to go on a two-day
adventure with the Bear Grylls.

(helicopter blades)

(muffled) Flying over the volcanic
rainforests of Costa Rica.

These jungles are as
beautiful as they dangerous.

You've got these sunken river
canyons, huge boggy swamps,

and then these towering waterfalls.

I'm on my way to pick up
actor Florence Pugh.

And she's gonna need her quick wits,
and her fearless spirit,

if she's gonna survive this place.
Florence, you better be ready.

This is Running Wild: The Challenge.

(dramatic sting)

(rhythmic music)

FLORENCE:
I've got hay in my bum.

I used to watch Bear Grylls
a lot when I was younger,

and the way that he would just tuck into
pussy insects was just not my vibe,

so I'm not really looking forward to that,

but I've brought something sneaky up
my sleeve, in case that happens.

I am a nature bug, I
love climbing, I love hiking.

My Gran is actually a bit of a badass,

and she has been taking us to the
mountains since we were tiny.

She asked if she could come
next time with Bear,

and I said I'll have to
ask Bear for you. (laughs)

BEAR: This is Florence Pugh. Florence is
one of the hottest stars in Hollywood.

Rising to fame with
her cult hit, Midsommar,

Earning an Oscar nomination
for her role in Little Women,

And starring in the blockbuster
Marvel movie, Black Widow.

As a child Florence was raised
by an adventuresome family,

that instilled a love of the
wild, travel, and adventure.

I prepare sometimes like (shaking), to get
all of the nervous jitters out of me.

BEAR: Recently Florence has been
full on with her red-hot career.

I'm ready for some action.
(helicopter blades)

BEAR: Which makes it the perfect
time to remind her of her roots,

and to take her out in the
wild for a true adventure.

I've got a GoPro for these special angles.

Rope. Shut up, I hear a helicopter.

Oh, I've got the jitters!

(thumping music)

(yells) There's Bear!

(Florence shakes)

(muffled) Get away!

Whoa. (laughs)

Hi! How are you doing?

-BEAR: Nice to see you.
-FLORENCE: Nice to meet you.

-You look the part.
-I am the part now, with all the wind.

Come on!

FLORENCE: Am I going on there?
Am I going on there?

I didn't think I'd
be coming on here!

(screams)

(yells, laughs)

Oh my God! (screams)

(yells)

BEAR: So the helicopter is not
going to be able to land, okay?

Okay.

We're gonna go to a little
clearing in this jungle ravine.

-Yeah?
-After that we're gonna hover.

These are throw bags. I'm
gonna throw mine, throw yours.

We're gonna jump.

The main thing is never take
your hand off that rope.

-On this one?
-Yeah.

That's the 101 lesson. You got this.

Florence Pugh and I are flying into
the volcanic rainforest of Costa Rica.

Its too dense to land,

so we're going to have to rappel
from the helicopter into a river below.

We will then follow the fastest route down
river as it descends nine miles east,

funneling us down a
series of raging rapids

and cascading waterfalls
over sheer cliffs.

Florence is going to have to learn
many river canyoning skills

to face the challenging terrain,

and then on day two, use those
skills to get us to our extraction.

(yells) I'm dribbling! (shakes)

-BEAR: Let's do it.
-FLORENCE: Okay.

Careful of your head going over that edge.

Okay.

(screams)

(cheers)

(cheers)

-I just was hanging out of a helicopter.
-Oh, my God, that was so fun!

And then, Bear was like cool,
now you're going to jump out,

here's your rope, don't let go.

This is exhilarating. I'm definitely
awake, I don't need my coffee.

-The adrenaline...
-I can't believe you just let me do that.

-Well it's good, its good. I thought...
-I know.

"...She's a badass."
(Florence laughs)

(birds chirping)
(bugs buzzing)

-So, we're going to follow this.
-Yeah.

So we're going to follow this all the way,
through all this volcanic rainforest.

We're going to do a bit of canyoning here,

the surrounding jungle really is
just going to be too dense

-to try and bushwhack through.
-FLORENCE: Great.

BEAR:
Loads of these little rivers and canyons.

We're going to sometimes be in the water,

we'll use the banks,
we use it when it's safe.

-But we're going to use the river first.
-FLORENCE: Yeah?

BEAR: So, what you don't want
is going with a backpack,

that gets caught, you're
stuck in the backpack...

That's how people drown. So, we'll
have the backpack in front of us.

BEAR:
We're gonna go on our backside feet first.

FLORENCE:
Great. Oh, okay.

I'll go in first so
you'll get an idea of it.

These ones are simple, they're going
to definitely get bigger as we go on.

-FLORENCE: Okay.
-Okay.

(tense music)

Ooh, and he's in.

BEAR (muffled): OK, so it's a big old
rock here. Just bounce over it.

(yelps)

BEAR:
Avoid the rock, avoid the rock.

In the main flow, that's it.
Yeah, there you go.

That's basically what we do, just...

-FLORENCE: For the rest of the day.
-BEAR: Just bigger.

And then when we're in areas if
we have concerns or crocs,

And we are swimming, we
just stay real close together.

FLORENCE:
All right.

Yeah, it's pretty intense, like you
don't really have much control,

you just kind of have to bobble around.

So, you know, all in all,
average day for Bear Grylls.

(laughs)

So, it's nice having
a fellow Brit on the show.

-Yeah?
-BEAR: Yeah, come on.

Was adventure part of
your life at all growing up?

FLORENCE: Yes, it was. My Gran
is a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

-Your Gran? I love it.
-FLORENCE: Yeah.

FLORENCE:
And we'd go climbing the mountains.

BEAR: Amazing.

We'd go climbing and
she still goes now, she's 85.

She's 85 and she
still goes out in the mountains?

FLORENCE: Yup, she goes
climbing with her friends.

Yeah.

FLORENCE: And she's very
jealous that I'm here right now.

Is that where you get
your adventurous spirit from?

-Yeah, I reckon so.
-BEAR: She'll be proud of this.

-She wants to come, Bear.
-(laughs) Really? Brilliant. Bring it on.

FLORENCE:
Yeah, yeah, no, she wants to come.

She asked me, she was like "Can
you ask Bear when you're on your trip,

if I can come to the next one?"
I was like, "Sure Gran."

Great, Running Wild two.

Hi, Bear, just doing my daily dog walk,

and I'm looking forward to
coming on your show!

-What's she called?
-Granny Pat.

Welcome to Running Wild with Florence,
and Granny Pat, come on.

-We'll send her that clip. (laughs)
-Please.

(dramatic music)

BEAR: So, from here pushing on down,
we're using the bank as much as we can,

we're in the water when we need to,

it's looking like there's more
of a drop off ahead here,

so we might need to get a
bit more creative.

Okay, so slightly bigger rapids, I
think we should maybe use the rope.

Okay.

BEAR: Definitely trying to sort
of show Florence a few things

because she's going to
need to do some of this.

Okay. First thing to learn, a bowline.
Rabbit comes out of the hole.

Yeah.

BEAR: Round the tree,
and back down the hole.

Again, so we go around the tree...

-A loop.
-BEAR: ...make a loop.

BEAR: Quite easy to get wrong,
so she needs to concentrate,

and be able to do it
under pressure later on.

-Back through, tug.
-BEAR: Back down the hole.

Then we can use this, throw that down
there, you can just lower yourself down.

(tense music)

FLORENCE:
Oh.

(rope straining)

BEAR:
So really careful on that bit that's it.

-Like that?
-BEAR: You okay? You all right?

Ok, a bit of advice, it's really
intense and there's a big hole.

BEAR (grunts):
Florence, we go to the right.

FLORENCE:
Okay.

So far, it's been so much fun, I've
already learned some crazy lessons.

He gives very good instructions.

Thank you!

BEAR: One, two, three,
great, great job, great job.

FLORENCE:
Very precise. And, no broken bones.

-Plant that foot, plant it!
-Ta-da!

-Beautiful, beautiful.
-Fingers crossed

You're alive, still smiling, we're good.
(Florence laughs)

BEAR: As Florence and I travel down
river, we've got to remain vigilant.

Canyoning down cascading water, and rocky
outcrops like this is awkward and tricky.

You got to be wary of the
risks, like sudden drop offs,

strong undertows, and
of course, wild animals.

Looking a little steeper here.

I mean this is one of those jumps
that kind of looks just fine,

but if there's rocks
under the surface there,

bad time to then jump and break your leg.

I thought you were joking,
we're jumping in there?

Well, let's test the depth first,

if this was nice and clear we'd
probably be able to see the bottom,

but let's use the rope,
then we'll do this.

So we've reached a place where
it's a drop into the river.

The problem is I don't
know how deep it is,

if there's a rock, you jump into that,
you end up with a broken leg, or worse.

In the wild you only get it wrong once,

we're definitely going to depth
test this before jumping.

Boom.

Okay, so you can see where
this is all nice and dry,

we'll pull it up now, and
where the wet starts... there,

by the look of it it's about 15 foot deep.

-FLORENCE: Oh, cool, it's quite deep then.
-BEAR: Yeah, that's fine.

-I would say we're good to jump.
-You'd jump that?

BEAR:
Yeah, so backpack off to jump.

If you have it in front of you
it kinda hits you in the chin,

so if you're jumping, keep that...

-Up.
-...nice, pencil-shape.

FLORENCE: We're just going to
jump off this big boulder here

into water that we
can't see the bottom of.

We just did a little stone
test to see if we'd break our legs,

and the stone said no, so we're just
going to now see if we will or we won't.

BEAR: So here we go, so nice
straight body, hit the point.

-Here we go
-FLORENCE: Yeah, yeah.

(high-pitched cheer)

He loved that.

BEAR:
And here we go.

-FLORENCE: Oh bloody hell.
-BEAR: Just make sure you hit that spot.

(tense music)

(dramatic sting)

(tense music)
(underwater sounds)

BEAR: Well done! Okay, so
these are more like croc pools,

but we've got steep-sided
banks on both sides

so we're going to stay in
the water, just stay close.

-FLORENCE: Yeah.
-BEAR: Keep your eyes open.

(tense music)

FLORENCE:
This is so pretty.

-BEAR: Oh, look, look.
-FLORENCE: Oh, ****.

(dramatic sting)

BEAR: So that's what we don't
want to be in the water with.

FLORENCE:
Okay, oh, don't touch it.

-BEAR: Yeah, we'll let him go.
-FLORENCE: He's coming for you.

BEAR (laughs): Yeah. Okay,
we're moving on, keep moving.

FLORENCE: My goodness. I think
I'd die without Bear in the wild. (laughs)

-We'll follow this bank a bit.
-(sighs) Okay.

BEAR: The terrain looks like
it's starting to flatten out,

and with limited hours of daylight left,

we're going to veer from the river inland,
and start looking for a spot to make camp.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

BEAR:
Oh, look, mushroom.

This is a Rishi mushroom.

-FLORENCE: It's not poisonous?
-Uh, no, these ones are okay.

Ooh!

BEAR: The trouble with
eating mushrooms in the wild

is that there's are thousands
of different species,

all different shapes, sizes, and colors.

And often times the deadly ones
look just like the edible ones.

Because of this it's best to avoid
eating mushrooms in the wild,

unless you're 100% certain.
But in a survival situation,

there is a way to tell the difference
between edible and poisonous.

It's known as the
universal edibility test.

They say, first we want to
look at it, and if it's like,

bright red with spots and
looking really dangerous...

-Eat it.
-Don't eat it!

(laughs)

Then you smell it and if it's like,
powerful and bad don't have it.

You touch it, so you put a little bit
on a sensitive area of your skin.

-Oh, if it give you an allergic reaction?
-BEAR: Yeah exactly.

And then the next one is taste,
but again, you wouldn't eat it,

you just like, put it
on the inside of your lip.

Okay.

BEAR: And then spit it out, and then
an hour later you're still okay.

Yeah, but this one is
a Rishi. And it is okay.

Generally, with mushrooms
you want to be super cautious,

unless you can really positively identify
something. It's often not worth the risk.

-Just put it in your pack.
-Let's cook it, yeah.

-BEAR: Yeah, there you go.
-FLORENCE: Yeah.

BEAR: All we need then is
something to actually eat with it.

-Just you wait, I have a secret.
-What's it?

-I have a surprise.
-I'm in.

-Yeah.
-I'm in.

So far, Florence has proved
herself to be up for the challenge,

but the terrain ahead will
only get more difficult.

Earlier I showed Florence
how to tie a bowline knot.

-A loop.
-Yeah.

BEAR:
Rabbit comes out of the hole.

I want to make sure she practices this
knot, as our lives will soon depend on it.

-Okay, so.
-Yeah.

-You're gonna treat my leg as a tree.
-Okay.

Here you go.

And then I go like that, and
then I go like... (groans)

BEAR:
You've got to turn the loop.

-FLORENCE: Backwards now?
-BEAR: Wrap...Yeah. So around the tree.

-And back down the hole.
-FLORENCE: Like that?

BEAR: Yeah, and then hold
those two and pull this.

-Da, da, da, da, da, da da! Like that.
-BEAR: And then pull that one.

-There you go, job done, bowline.
-Bish bash bosh.

Bowline. Okay, good.

So what was growing up,
what was your family life like?

-FLORENCE: There's four kids.
-BEAR: Yeah.

-Two loud parents.
-Two loud parents?

FLORENCE (laughs):
Yeah. Two loud parents...

So was it quite a bung fight
growing up of, fighting for...?

Yes, yes, food, entertainment,
and attention.

No, we all played instruments, all act,
all perform, and all desperate...

to showoff.

-BEAR (laughs): Yeah.
-Wonderful though, lots of fun.

BEAR:
So did that help you then prepare

for all the wrestling you had to do with,
Fighting With My Family, that film.

FLORENCE: Oh, my God yeah, it was exactly
the same as me wrestling with my brother.

-FLORENCE: We still wrestle now. Yeah!
-Really?

-So you did wrestle?
-FLORENCE: Yeah.

BEAR: That's an epic debut, that film,
wasn't it? I mean what a way to...

-Thank you. Very cool.
-Yeah.

BEAR: And was acting, did you
want to make that your job?

FLORENCE: Yeah, I wasn't really
interested in other stuff,

I was only really good at
that kind of corner of life.

And then, like, with Midsommar?

Did you have an idea
whilst you were doing that

that actually this is going
to be as big as it was?

I didn't think it was going to
become such a cult classic.

-BEAR: Yeah, so you didn't know that.
-No.

And then before you know it you get
nominated for an Oscar for Little Women.

Yeah, that was an exciting time.
That was a really exciting time.

-It is life changing.
-Yeah. Yeah, totally.

But my whole family has been, you know,
along the journey with me,

and I brought them to the Oscars,

and to be able to have one of those
rewarding moments with your parents,

who are just as excited as you are,
is just, it's, yeah, a nice feeling.

-You kind of pinch yourself sometimes.
-Yeah. Totally.

-BEAR: Yeah.
-FLORENCE: Totally.

-Yeah, really special.
-Really cool feeling.

-BEAR: Amazing, you ready?
-FLORENCE: Yeah.

Ok. Let's keep going.

So far I've shown Florence several skills

to navigate the rushing rapids
and steep cliffs of this river.

But we're now trekking deeper into the
rainforest in search of a place to camp.

But the river has now
dispersed into swamp land

-and we've got to find a way through it.
-BEAR: Oh, wow look at this.

FLORENCE:
Oh, no.

Okay, so Florence we definitely
want to keep traveling in this direction.

-FLORENCE: We're going in there?
-BEAR: Yes.

(dramatic sting)

Otherwise we're going to end up just
skirting all the way around to the right.

Okay.

BEAR: Big open marshy area ahead, right
on the direction we want to be traveling.

And the dangers of this sort of thing
in the jungle really are multiple

you know, snakes and crocodiles,
deep mud you get stuck in it.

You know, that's how animals
drown often, they get stuck,

and then they just get exhausted,
they can't get out of the mud.

We go together we can see
the other side there, the reeds.

-FLORENCE: Not in the reeds.
-BEAR: We're going to have more safety.

This is super clear, and it's shallow,
look you can see all of this.

-FLORENCE: Yeah.
-BEAR: No crocs in this.

-FLORENCE: No.
-BEAR: Once we're in the reeds...

...We'd hear it.

-Sure.
-Yeah?

BEAR:
Okay.

At least we'll be able to hear it first.

Oh, yeah, going from blue lagoons...

-BEAR: To cesspit.
-FLORENCE: To cesspit.

Oh! That smells like... (laughing)

BEAR: Okay, so eyes and ears on this, for
any movement, anything we don't like.

(warbling)

FLORENCE: What kind of things
would live on the floor of this?

Maybe we'll have this
conversation when we get out?

FLORENCE: Oh, no! What is it?
What's going to be living on the floor?

-BEAR: Let's not worry about it now.
-FLORENCE: Okay, all right, all right.

Nature lessons only happen after you've
done the awful thing. Cool, cool, cool.

(laughs) Yeah. Yeah, that's
like discussing parachuting

-while the plane is going down.
-Great.

(Bear grunts)

(tense music)
FLORENCE: Ooh!

FLORENCE: Oh, my God
(Bear grunts)

-BEAR: I caught a little eel.
-No, you haven't.

-BEAR: Just a little thing.
-FLORENCE: No you haven't.

(dramatic music)

(laughs in horror) Oh, my God. Get me
out of this pond! Oh, my God! (shrieks)

Oh, that's good, just got him by the tail.

-How did you feel that?
-No, I saw it.

-it went straight in front of me.
-Oh, my God. Okay.

Well that's our dinner
to go with the mushroom.

Yeah, great, thanks for not telling
me what's in the pond until it's too late.

-Well, he's quite harmless.
-Oh, really?

BEAR: It's his big brother (laughs)
you want to worry about.

FLORENCE (anguished):
No.

Oh look there's another
one there as well, look!

(Florence groans)
See, in the open water!

-FLORENCE: You gonna get it? (hacks)
-No.

-I just swallowed a fly. (laughs)
-You okay?

-Yeah, it's good protein!
-Protein, yeah.

See, I've seen the show!

Bear, you're bloody crazy, leapt into
the water, and came up with an eel.

-That's going to be a tasty dinner.
-That was really impressive.

We just need to find some butter
now, and some olive oil.

All right so what was living
in the bottom of there now?

Well there's definitely going to
be snakes in there aren't there?

Hazard a guess, that there's
crocodiles in the river,

it wouldn't be beyond the
realm of imagination

-there's crocodiles in here as well.
-FLORENCE: Oh, my God.

I'm not sure Florence was
a huge fan of the swamp,

it stank really badly, but she
is fearless, you got to give it to her,

she doesn't kind of hesitate.

Somehow when you're together
you always feel a little bit braver,

and it was nice having
a wing woman on this one.

FLORENCE:
Our feet are gonna smell so good.

What, of rotting swamp?

-FLORENCE: Yeah.
-BEAR: Yeah.

And it's gonna be under the toe nails.
(Bear laughs)

(adventurous music)

-I've done so well.
-BEAR: Yeah, survived everything.

FLORENCE: I didn't get leeches,
I didn't get eel attacked.

-Didn't get chomped by a croc.
-No, I didn't get chomped by a croc,

I did eat a bug so I feel like I have
done part of my protein.

BEAR: Yeah.
(Florence laughs)

So now we're out of the rainforest,

the whole terrain sort of opens up a
little bit, much less dense.

Good place to make camp.

Oh, look bamboo, that's
going to be good for us.

FLORENCE:
Why?

Trees are useful, bamboo's
useful, to make camp.

-FLORENCE: Alright.
-Good.

So the main thing is obviously
getting us off the ground.

Don't want to be on the ground with
all the ants and creepy crawlies,

Bamboo's great, you can cut that
straight, it's strong.

I'm going to make something simple
that just lifts us up off the ground.

We'll do another one over here.

-Yeah?
-FLORENCE: Okay.

BEAR: Couple of struts along it, and
we'll make it like a little platform.

FLORENCE:
Lovely. (hums)

-BEAR: And then a good little tip.
-FLORENCE: Yeah?

Is if you're tying them together
like this rather than at an angle,

-and you split it, it will then go tight.
-Please stay, please stay, please stay.

Two more along here,
and then we got an A-Frame.

Here you go, Florence.
Tie up and finish that one.

Okay. That's looking pretty good.

We're off the ground,
do you want to test it?

(laughs) Yeah, sure.

Oh, that is good.
(Florence groans)

FLORENCE: Yeah, I love feeling
like I could almost fall off.

BEAR: What we've got
to do now is make fire.

-FLORENCE: Yeah.
-Cook that eel.

-Okay. Do you wanna see what I've brought?
-What have you brought?

FLORENCE: This was just in case you
said, aw Floss, please eat that slug.

BEAR: This is dreamy,
nobody ever brings anything.

FLORENCE: From my kitchen,
we've got some salt,

we've got some garlic seasoning, and
we've got some chili flakes.

Oh, wow.

FLORENCE:
And I've got some, mini Tabascos.

-BEAR: Yeah.
-FLORENCE: Look at that, happy days!

This is gourmet.

FLORENCE: You're getting a "Cooking
with Flo" session in the wilderness.

So tell me about "Cooking with Flo."

"Cooking with Flo" is my own
personal show that I do on my Instagram.

We're going to start with 500
grams of double bleh-bleh-bla.

And people seem to really like it.

-That's amazing.
-I know.

BEAR:
Oh look, there's a beetle, see that?

FLORENCE: Oh, God. I'm not eating that,
ugh, dude I'm not helping you out there.

BEAR: That's a water beetle,
perfect with Tabasco sauce.

Great.

I was actually quite impressed with the
amount of non-gross things that we found.

He caught an eel with his
hand, and we found a mushroom,

so the meal was actually
going to be quite fine.

So I spoke too soon.

-BEAR: Cook it, roll it in your seasoning.
-FLORENCE: Oh, yeah, in my seasoning.

BEAR:
This is gourmet! Kindling.

-Yup.
-Ready to go.

Tinder, set, that's going to go off like a
bomb. Lighter that's got nothing in it.

Found an old lighter, it
wasn't really working,

but there's often enough gas in the
actual, you know, system in the tubes,

so I thought probably get
one strike out of this maybe.

I think we may use a
bit of jungle formula.

Not to be done at home.

Florence has got that mosquito
repellent that's highly flammable,

And I thought, "Well, let's
just keep striking this,

until it goes once, then spray on it,

we'll like improvise a
little flame thrower."

-Soon as I get a little spark out of it...
-Okay.

Not down on my hand, that way!

FLORENCE (laughs):
It'll be tastier than the beetle.

(Bear laughs)
All right ready?

-Okay. 1, 2, 3.
-Yeah.

FLORENCE:
Hell. (laughs)

Fire done. Put this on it.

We'll get the beetle cooking in the edge
of the heat, we need to gut this guy.

FLORENCE: I've actually
never gutted an eel before.

BEAR: Okay, so, into the
anal vent, there you go.

FLORENCE: Oh, yeah.

-BEAR: There you go, all the way.
-FLORENCE: Go on. Get all that poo out.

Job done. And then, finger in, guts out.

FLORENCE:
Am I just pushing all the way down?

-Yeah. Yeah get all that out.
-FLORENCE: Okay. (groans)

BEAR: Awesome and then we'll
put that on the hot stone as well.

FLORENCE: I need to salt the eel!
♪ Da, da, da, da, da, da, da. ♪

-Okay, the mushrooms going on as well.
-Get some garlic seasoning, yum!

And I think now the meal is going
to taste absolutely delicious.

-BEAR: Good job today.
-FLORENCE: Yeah! So much fun.

You seem like someone who
loves taking challenges head on.

-Yeah, I love it.
-BEAR: Where does that come from?

Yeah, just the way of
growing up I suppose.

We were always getting mucky,
and doing something crazy,

and jumping off something, and riding
motorbikes. You just do it, you have fun.

-BEAR: So you like riding motorbikes?
-Yeah.

The youngest I was on my motorbike
was I think I was like just 5 and a half.

We lived in Spain and my
brother would be on a bike,

my dad would be on a bike, and I'd be
on a bike and we would just go off.

-Fun. Lots of fun.
-BEAR: Brilliant.

And then how come you were in Spain?

We were in Spain because I have a
breathing issue, and when I was younger,

they kind of just advised that
a hotter climate would be better,

and also I think just for adventure, my
parents just wanted to live somewhere else

and have a portion of
our lives that was different.

-Yeah
-FLORENCE: And it really was fun.

My parents were young and had three
kids and decided to just, vamanos.

It was like, wicked. I want to do
that when I'm older as well.

Yeah.

it's such a nice way of just
thinking and looking at things

and just picking up and going
and living somewhere.

So tell me about
your breathing challenges.

I have asthma and I have this thing
called tracheomalacia as well.

And so from a young age, I've just
had a different breathing system,

but now as an adult, unless I get ill,

it doesn't really affect me as intensely
as it did when I was younger.

And you mentioned
you grandma earlier.

(laughs) Yeah, Granny Pat.

BEAR: She's obviously such a
special person for you.

Yeah.

-BEAR: Does she watch your movies?
-FLORENCE: She does watch my movies,

she has notes on the ones
that she doesn't understand.

BEAR (laughs):
Does she have notes?

FLORENCE:
Well, you've got to bear in mind, like,

-I don't do normal movies,
-BEAR: Yeah.

I do very weird bizarre movies where I'm
either in some sort of cult classic,

or I'm taking my clothes off, or
I'm doing some weird accent,

and like my Gran doesn't understand
why I can't just do a plain movie.

And then suddenly you're also
then part of the Marvel universe.

-I know, I know, yeah. It's amazing.
-BEAR: How do you see that?

FLORENCE: Completely different step
in a direction that I didn't think

I was gonna be doing, at this point in my
life, and I'm so grateful that I did.

It's been an intense last,
like seven years for me.

I've been working since I left school.

And I've had like a really
solid family behind me,

that like completely keep you
grounded, it's so important.

And not get too caught
up in all that madness.

FLORENCE: No, and also
just like, I don't know about you,

but during the pandemic I noticed
I have major anxiety problems,

and I had never noticed it before.
And I hadn't noticed it because, I think,

just my life was just so fast paced.
(Bear hums)

FLORENCE:
It's something that I haven't figured out,

or thought about, or needed to address.

-So as life speeds up again.
-FLORENCE: Is the anxiety there? (laughs)

Well how are you gonna approach it?

FLORENCE: I think just like
giving myself time to actually do things,

like come to Costa Rica and make sure
you have time to smell the roses.

-Yeah. Should we smell the eel?
-Oh, God.

-Should we try it?
-Sure.

It's actually looking OK,
and that water beetle...

I might put some more seasoning on mine.

Florence, she's had a
few battles along the way,

but she's rooted in great family
and that sustains people through so much,

and that's been a secret
super power for her.

I think it's good to start with
the worst, with the water beetle.

-FLORENCE: Do you want some Tabasco?
-BEAR: There we go, okay.

-FLORENCE: Yeah?
-BEAR: Yeah.

Okay, all right go.
(Bear hums)

♪ La cucaracha, la cucaracha ♪
(Bear hacks)

-Ugh.
-Bleh! No!

(sounds of disgust)

-That was foul!
-BEAR: Hmm, should we try the eel?

FLORENCE: Yeah, oh there's a bit of spine
in the middle. Do you just suck around it?

Yeah, and a bit of the mushroom is good.

Hey, that's delicious!

-Yeah.
-Oh, yum.

Finally we've struck gold.

That's actually not too bad.
(Bear hums)

That bit wasn't great.

BEAR:
True superhero.

-Thanks mate.
-BEAR: I love it.

Well, tell me what's on your bucket list?

I don't know, we've done
quite a lot of them today, like,

dunno mate, I did
want to jump out of a plane

but I don't think that's going to happen.

I don't mind jumping off
some more waterfalls

if you've got some up your sleeve.

-I've got all the information I need.
-Have you done all the waterfalls already?

I've got it, I'm good.

Tomorrow we're going to push through
this grass land for a little bit...

-Okay.
-And then I've got a surprise.

What's the surprise?

Well that's the whole point of a surprise.

I know, I'm not very good with surprises.
(Bear laughs)

I like them but I want
to know what they are.

BEAR: So, watch the sun go down, lie on
your bamboo bed, get ready for tomorrow.

-FLORENCE: Okay.
-BEAR: Thanks for the Tabasco sauce.

You're welcome.

(whispers) So, I woke up, really
hungry after the beetle.

I've got some chocolate, I
haven't told Bear though.

It's our little secret.

How did I sleep last night?
I was just so amped up,

just thinking about the whole day before,
and I couldn't get to sleep for ages

because I just had so much
adrenalin coursing through me.

We're gonna go on
our backside, feet first.

Oh.

BEAR: Yesterday I showed Florence
some key canyoning skills,

as we traversed down a
steep Costa Rican river gorge.

She learned how to test
the depth of water,

to see whether or not it's safe to jump.

-That's how deep it is.
-FLORENCE: Oh cool!

Slightly bigger rapids, I think
we should maybe use the rope.

Okay.

BEAR: And she learned
how to tie a bowline knot.

And back down the hole.

Okay.

BEAR:
She's going to have to use those skills

to get us through the
toughest part of the journey,

-and get us to our extraction point.
-Put the fire out, and we get moving.

Okay.

(dramatic music)

Today, Florence and I must travel
two miles east down river.

And our terrain gets steeper
and even more treacherous.

Florence is going to have to take the
lead, and prove she's up to the challenge.

That sound, is a bigger waterfall,
that sounds like a step up again.

FLORENCE:
Okay.

-BEAR: Well, yeah. So, big.
-Yeah.

I would say this is
on the edge of jumpable.

-FLORENCE: Oh, mate.
-BEAR (laughs): Maybe on the edge of it.

Again, we want to be
sure that it's deep enough.

You make the assessment, if
you're happy, I'm jumping.

FLORENCE:
That's a lot on my hands.

So, we've reached
a much bigger waterfall here.

So, we definitely want to depth test it.

Florence, I really want her
to kind of make the decision

and take that
responsibility for this jump.

FLORENCE:
How's that?

-Yeah.
-FLORENCE: Yeah?

Yeah, that's golden. Go for it

FLORENCE:
Hopefully it reaches the bottom,

and then we'll figure out if we want
to jump to our deaths or not.

Go to the edge together, so just
really watching your step, like this.

(suspenseful music)

Get a really good stable
position first of all.

Yeah.

-Ready to throw it?
-Yeah.

Where we want to jump,
so where do you think we aim for?

-Like there?
-Straight down, yeah.

-FLORENCE: Not good news.
-Yeah, that's not deep enough.

Yeah. This is clearly not a
depth you can jump safely.

This is probably a death drop to jump,
I think we use the rope for this.

This cliff is 75 feet high,

in order to jump safely, we would
need at least 20 feet of water.

The depth testing proved
it fell well short of that.

We're going to have to find another
way down to get to our extraction.

Just need somewhere to tie off to.

Bowline around this, and then
we're good. There you go.

FLORENCE:
You mean that twig that is nearly dead?

Yeah, the rabbit out of the hole.

So, yeah, we're going to use a
rope, we're gonna rappel down this,

we are officially relying
on Florence's bowline.

-Don't use too much,
-FLORENCE: Okay.

-BEAR: We need all the rope that we can.
-FLORENCE: Yup. Righty, tighty.

-And then I go...
-BEAR: Nope.

FLORENCE:
...The other way.

Oh. Ah!

BEAR:
Yeah, great.

I've got all my weight on that,
I mean it looks a bit precarious.

Are you seeing the
same thing that I'm seeing?

BEAR:
That's movement.

-BEAR: That's called give.
-Have you seen that?

(dramatic music)
And you're saying jumping is terrifying.

I have asked many times, is
this safe, and he assures me that it is,

but I'm now actually going to test it
out with my own body as bait.

-Oh, my God.
-BEAR: (squeals) Bye! That will do.

And it was my first knot, so
if I fall it's totally my fault.

(laughter)

BEAR: Once I go we're
going to have no communication,

she need to clip herself in on her own,

-Push. Twist. Open.
-FLORENCE: Yup. Yup. Boom.

BEAR: And then it will self-lock.
Definitely a place to get it right.

So, leaning back, nice wide stance,
and I'm not going to hear you,

-but I'll be down at the bottom, okay?
-FLORENCE: Okay.

(tense music)

Don't die.

Oh.

(yells) Okay!

(muffled shouting).

He's shouting at me. I can't
hear a word you're saying.

All right. So, I do this. Okay.

(rope straining)

Oh, bloody Nora.

(dramatic sting)

FLORENCE: Oh, my Lord. You know what,
with the feeling of being really scared,

you kind of just have to
start walking off the ledge.

Otherwise, I think, it's never
going to happen,

and now it's already too late,
and I've already started going.

(dramatic music)

Come on Florence!

FLORENCE:
My goodness.

(muffled) Oh, you know, just
hanging off a cliff, it's all good.

BEAR:
Looking great!

Keep going down.

FLORENCE:
Oh. Wow!

Oh, me.

-All right.
-BEAR: Okay.

-FLORENCE: In?
-BEAR: In.

We're getting snagged in that rope.

Oh.

And let that rope go, let
it run all the way through.

FLORENCE:
Oh!

BEAR:
Here let me help you with it.

-Okay, we're free, you ready?
-FLORENCE: Yeah.

Oh, my God.
That was amazing.

It's amazing, but if I'd hazard a
guess, it's definitely a croc pool.

Oh.

So, we want to get out of here.
You're alive, but let's keep you alive.

(tense music)

Good job, how was it?

-(gasps) So much fun, oh my God.
-Yeah.

I mean like totally
just like, going off an edge.

(laughs)

BEAR: So Florence crushed that
challenge; her bowline knot, perfect.

She was calm, got down. Hey, she's a
Marvel super hero, she delivered.

It looks impressive
looking back doesn't it?

FLORENCE: Oh, my God.
Do you see that waterfall just there?

Well higher than that,
where the spiky cactus

is currently currently
dribbling over the top,

we just had to scale down that, you know.

-Yeah. Smashed it. Come on.
-Thank you!

-Oh, my God. Exhilarating.
-Good job as well, that.

I lived; my knot did good. (laughs)

Yeah.

In the past two days,

Florence has overcome everything
the jungle has thrown at her.

Yesterday Florence told me she was
raised by an adventuresome family,

but with her nonstop career,

she hasn't had enough time to savor
some of those adventures in life.

There you go Florence,
there's our way out of here.

So I've got a little
surprise waiting for her,

it's like a perfect reminder
to always in life,

go for it and jump into those adventures,
and say yes more than you say no.

(whispers) She's gonna love this.
(dramatic music)

-So Florence.
-Yes?

The journey's over, almost.
Final little surprise.

-What?
-You ready?

-We're going to be jumping.
-No way!

We're going to fly to the airport.
(Florence screams)

-We're gonna jump straight in, go up.
-FLORENCE: Yay! I'm gonna parachute!

(Florence cheers)

(Florence cheers)

Oh my goodness!

BEAR: So it's time that Florence checks
one of those things off her bucket list,

(Florence screams)

and no doubt, her Granny Pat,
she's gonna be proud.

Florence, you're gonna smash it.
(Florence cheers)

(excited music)

FLORENCE:
I'm so excited!

-Ok, Florence, just enjoy it!
-Alright! Bye! (screams)

Oh, my God!

(Florence cheers and screams, continuous)

(cheers, laughs at vibration)

(yips in delight)

(epic music)

Oh, my goodness, it's amazing!

BEAR: Florence Pugh, if you had
to sum her up and describe her,

-FLORENCE: Woo! Yay!
-BEAR: Fearless, positive, always smiling.

And in terms of survival in life you
can conquer so much like that.

(cheers)

BEAR:
Throw into the mix crazy talented,

and knows the power of her loving family
around her, and watch out world.

FLORENCE:
Oh!

I think I should do more of this
stuff, it make me so happy.

This really was an opportunity and a trip
that I really wanted to make time for,

and I really wanted to be able to do it.

I mean look at what we've just
done in the last two days.

(Florence cheers)

(laughs) Oh, my God.

-Bear, you're bloody crazy, I love you.
-Oh my goodness, that was amazing.

Thank you for looking out for me,
and I hope I get invited back.

-BEAR: That's a nice view.
-FLORENCE: I just fell out of a plane!
