A group of teenagers participate in an ancient Indian ceremony.
Karim says WOW, RIGHT NOW MY TEAM ARE
UNDERTAKING AN ANCIENT CEREMONY
WHERE MAYAN ANCESTORS ARE
DECIDING THEIR FATE.
THEIR WHOLE WEEK DEPENDS ON
THIS.
SHOULD I BE IN THERE?
LOOKS KINDA IMPORTANT.
Karim is in his twenties, with short wavy brown hair and wears a black shirt with fine white stripes.
Fast clips show teenage boys and girls engaging in different athletic activities.
(music plays)
Karim says THESE KIDS ARE LITERALLY AT THE
TOP OF THEIR GAME.
Camille says THEY'RE SOME OF THE
FASTEST, STRONGEST, MOST
SPORTINGEST KIDS IN THE
COUNTRY.
Karim says RUGBY, ATHLETICS,
AMERICAN FOOTBALL...
Franc is 13, with short wavy brown hair and plays rugby.
Alesha is 15, with long wavy blond hair in braids and run in a track with a parachute tied around her waist.
Reef is 14, with short curly brown hair and plays American football.

Karim says I'VE GOT THE BOYS TEAM.
Camille says AND I'VE GOT THE GIRLS!
Camille is in her twenties, with long straight light brown hair in a ponytail. She wears a printed T-shirt and a bandana.
Alesha fights with sticks with a native African man.
Camille says GET HIM, ALESHA!
Karim says AND THEY'RE TRAVELLING...
Camille says VAMOS!
TO THE FURTHEST CORNERS OF THE
EARTH.
Camille rides a horse and says TO TEST THEIR SPORTING
SKILLS AGAINST LOCALS.
Karim says AND COMPETING IN SPORTS
THEY'VE NEVER DREAMED OF TRYING.
A clip shows Franc 3 other team members play a ball game in native clothes.
Franc says I'VE NEVER SEEN A
SPORT LIKE IT.
A clip shows a man in a dragon costume do flips.
Karim says HOW WILL THEY MEASURE UP WITH
JUST A WEEK TO BEAT THE WORLD?
A girl carries a tray full of cups.
A woman says GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
Camille says THE GIRLS HAVE GOT THIS.
Karim says NO WAY!
THE BOYS HAVE GOT THIS!
The boys and the girls join their hands together and cheer before the games.
(ALL CHEERING)
The name of the show appears against an animated bouncy planet Earth. It reads "A week to beat the world."
An animated map shows a plane travel from the UK to Central America.
Camille says GUATEMALA, IN THE
HEART OF CENTRAL AMERICA IS
HOME OF THE MAYANS, A LEADING
ANCIENT CIVILISATION AT IT
PEAK BETWEEN THE THIRD AND
TENTH CENTURY, WHO WERE ALSO
PRETTY GOOD AT HUMAN SACRIFICE.
IT'S A LAND OF ACTIVE
VOLCANOES, VAST LAKES, CRAZY
TUKS TUKS...
Karim and the boys climb up an ancient building wall.
One of the boys says IT'S SO HOT AS WELL.
Sol says IT'S HOT ISN'T IT?
THE BRICKS ARE HOT.
Sol says YEAH, IT'S BURNING ME.
Camille says AND ANCIENT LOST CITIES.
Karim says GUYS, WELCOME TO GUATEMALA!
Camille says THE BOY'S TEAM OF RUGBY
PLAYER FRANC, AMERICAN
FOOTBALLER REEF, AND GYMNAST
SOL ARE HERE TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THIS WEEK'S EPIC
INTERNATIONAL SPORTING
CHALLENGE.
Karim says WHAT IF I SAID TO YOU THE
WORD PITZ?
They all say NO, NOT A CLUE.
Karim says WELL, IT'S ALSO KNOWN AS
CLACKLI?
They all say NO.
Karim says OR POK A TOK?
They all say NO.
Sol says WHAT LANGUAGE ARE YOU
SPEAKING?
Clips show a team of men in native costumes playing a ball game in a pit.
Karim says ENGLISH!
ANYWAY, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU
HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT, PITZ IS AN
ANCIENT BALL GAME, ALRIGHT, THAT
THE MAYAN PEOPLE DISCOVERED
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS
AGO, AND THAT'S WHY I'VE BROUGHT
YOU HERE TO GUATEMALA BECAUSE I
WANT TO SEE IF YOU SPORTY KIDS
CAN GET GOOD AT IT WITH JUST A
WEEK TO BEAT THE MAYAN PEOPLE AT
THEIR OWN GAME.
(BLOWING HORN)
Camille says FIRST THINGS FIRST, THE BOYS
NEED TO SEE THIS GAME OF MANY
NAMES THAT KARIM HAS BEEN
BANGING ON ABOUT.
Karim says LOOK AT THAT, HAVE YOU EVER
PLAYED A SPORT IN A PIT BEFORE?
Franc says NEVER, THAT'S CRAZY.
Sol says IS THIS WHAT WE'LL BE PLAYING?
Karim says THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS ARE
GOING TO BE LEARNING.
THIS GAME HAS SUPER HIGH STAKES.
BACK IN THE DAY IF TWO CITIES
HAD A DISPUTE, THEY'D PLAY PITZ
TO SORT IT OUT AND THE TEAM THAT
LOSES WERE ACTUALLY SACRIFICED.
YEAH, CUT THEIR CHEST OPEN, THE
HEART WOULD COME OUT, STILL
BEATING.
Reef says LOVELY.
Karim says IT'S NOT A GAME YOU WANT TO
LOSE 'CAUSE IF YOU DO LOSE, YOU
ARE QUITE LITERALLY GUTTED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Camille says PITZ IS A GAME OF TWO HALVES,
AND A GAME OF TWO TEAMS OF
FOUR.
PLAYED ON A PITCH THAT LOOKS
LIKE A BIT LIKE A STRETCHED-OUT
H.
YOU SCORE BY WHACKING THE
THREE-KILO BALL OR K'OLAJ OVER
YOUR OPPONENTS END LINE.
SOUNDS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD,
BUT QUITE HARD WHEN YOU CAN'T
USE YOUR HANDS OR FEET.
SO, IT'S MAINLY PLAYED WITH THE
HIPS, BUM BALL BASICALLY.
YOU CAN'T PASS TO A PLAYER ON
YOUR OWN TEAM, AND THE BEST WAY
TO SCORE IS TO PUSH THE
OPPOSING TEAM BACKWARDS.
THERE'S ALSO A MAGICAL DOUBLE
HOOP, OR "LUPJOM" IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE PITCH, UP IN THE AIR.
GET THE BALL IN THIS AND ITS
GAME OVER, YOU WIN.
KIND OF LIKE A GOLDEN SNITCH IN
QUIDDITCH.
THE MAN CHARGED WITH HELPING
THE BOYS WITH THEIR HIP
THRUSTING IS THE NATIONAL PITZ
COACH JAVIER.
Karim says JAVIER.
OLA, COMO ETSAS?
Javier is in his thirties, with slightly long brown hair and wears traditional native clothes. He speaks Spanish.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says I'M SURPRISED, I
WAS EXPECTING THREE KIDS, AND
NOW THERE ARE FOUR.
Karim says YOU'RE FUNNY.
RIGHT, LET ME TELL YOU A BIT
MORE ABOUT JAVIER.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE NICE
ABOUT HIM.
HE IS GUATEMALA'S BEST PITZ
COACH EVER, HE'S ALSO A MAYAN
SPORTS' MINISTER AND A SHAMAN,
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
THAT'S LIKE HARRY KANE BEING IN
PARLIAMENT AND BEING A WIZARD.
(BOYS LAUGHING)
Reef says IT LOOKED PRETTY BRUTAL.
Franc says I'VE NEVER SEEN A SPORT LIKE
IT.
Sol says I THINK WE HAVE GOT A
MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB.
Camille says COACH JAVIER'S LOCAL YOUTH
TEAM, WHO THE BOYS WILL BE
TRAINING WITH THIS WEEK, ARE
HERE TO SCARE THE LIFE OUT OF...
I MEAN SHOW THEM THE BASICS.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says IT'S A RUBBER
BALL, WEIGHING THREE KILOS.
Karim says THAT IS GONNA HURT IF IT
LANDS ON YOUR FOOT, RIGHT?
Franc says EVEN MY HIPS THAT'S GONNA
HURT.
Karim says YEAH.
Sol says HOW ARE YOU MEANT TO GET THE
BALL UP HIGH?
Karim says GOOD QUESTION, BRO.
Another team member speaks Spanish.
The translator says THE MORE WE PLAY,
THE BETTER SKILLED WE BECOME
AND CAN HIT IT HIGHER.
Franc says DO YOUR HIPS HURT FROM
PLAYING THE GAME?
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says NO, I'M USED TO
THE PAIN NOW.
Camille says YOU SEE HE SAID NO, BUT THEN
HE SAID HE'S USED TO THE PAIN,
WHICH TO ME SAYS YES.
SO, GOOD LUCK BOYS, THESE GUYS
HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR YEARS AND
YOU'VE GOT FIVE SHORT DAYS TO
LEARN HOW TO BOUNCE A
CANNONBALL OFF YOUR HIPS...
(GRUNTING)
Camille says SO YOU CAN TAKE THE LOCALS ON
AT THEIR OWN GAME.
The translator says YOU NEED
PRACTICE, THEN YOU'LL BE
EXPERIENCED.
Karim says COME ON, FRANC!
Franc says I WAS REALLY SURPRISED HOW
HEAVY THE BALL IS.
Javier says THERE YOU ARE.
Franc says YOU THINK IT'S A BALL, SO
YOU THINK JUST LIKE A RUGBY
BALL, JUST LIKE A FOOTBALL.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HURT THAT
MUCH, BUT IT'S A SOLID BALL AND
IT HURTS, EVEN COMPARED TO LIKE
GETTING TACKLED AND JUMPED ON IN
RUGBY.
Camille says 13-YEAR-OLD FRANC IS CAPTAIN
OF ONE OF THE TOP YOUTH RUGBY
TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY.
HE MAY BE USED TO BALL SPORTS,
BUT WILL HE BE ABLE TO SURVIVE
FIVE DAYS OF INCESSANT HIP
POUNDING?
Karim says COME ON, REEF.
GIVE IT A BIG HIP, GO ON.
Sol says OOH, YEAH.
Karim says MORE BUM THAN HIP THOUGH,
REEF, BUT THAT'S FINE.
Reef says THE THING THAT INTIMIDATES
ME MOST ABOUT PLAYING THIS GAME
IS PROBABLY JUST HOW HARD YOU
HIT THE FLOOR.
(GRUNTING)
Karim says YES, REEF.
Franc says SAY GOODBYE TO A WHITE
SHIRT.
Camille says 14-YEAR-OLD REEF MAY BE USED
TO TAKING HARD HITS AS A
QUARTERBACK FOR HIS TOP
AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT
THERE IS ONE CRITICAL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PITZ AND HIS
SPORT.
Reef says UH, IT'S VERY DIFFERENT TO
AMERICAN FOOTBALL, WE HAVE PADS,
GIRDLES, PADS UNDER PADS,
HELMETS, AND WITH THIS IT'S JUST
WAR PAINT AND SPIRITUAL SCARVES.
(CHUCKLING)
Now Sol kicks the ball with his hip.
Karim says NICE, SOL.
Sol says BEING A GYMNAST I FEEL LIKE
I KIND OF HAVE THAT BEND WHICH
I CAN GO BACKWARDS QUITE EASILY.
Camille says BENDIER THAN MOST 11-YEAR
OLDS, SOL IS IN THE ENGLAND
GYMNASTICS SQUAD, AND IS
NATIONAL UNDER-12 VAULT
CHAMPION.
Sol says I THINK WE'LL WORK REALLY
GOOD AS A TEAM TOGETHER BECAUSE
WE'VE ALL GOT DIFFERENT SKILLS.
SO, REEF'S REALLY TALL.
Karim says YES, REEF.
Sol says I'M LIKE SHORT AND SPEEDY.
Karim says YES, BRO, COME ON, FRANC.
Sol says AND FRANC'S QUITE POWERFUL,
SO I THINK WE'LL WORK REALLY
GOOD TOGETHER.
Karim says YEAH!
Franc says I'M REALLY EXCITED TO PLAY
IN THE MATCH.
OBVIOUSLY, I'M A BIT NERVOUS
BECAUSE I COULD GET SACRIFICED.
Karim says NICE ONE.
Franc says WE'VE ONLY GOT A WEEK SO I
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY,
REALLY CHALLENGING.
Camille says JUST AS THE BOY'S TEAM ARE
GETTING INTO THE GAME, JAVIER
HAS NEWS THAT COULD BRING AN
ABRUPT END TO THEIR WEEK WHEN
IT'S BARELY BEGUN.
Karim says SEE?
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says BEFORE WE GO ANY
FURTHER, WE NEED TO ASK
PERMISSION TO PLAY FROM THE
ANCESTORS.
Camille says NOT EVERYONE IS ACTUALLY
ALLOWED TO PLAY THE SACRED GAME
OF PITZ.
IN MAYAN CULTURE, YOU NEED THE
OFFICIAL OKAY FROM ANCIENT,
LONG DEAD ANCESTORS.
MULTI-TALENTED JAVIER IS GOING
TO TRY AND PULL A FEW STRINGS
WITH THEM LATER TO ENSURE
YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE NEXT
FLIGHT HOME, BUT KARIM, YOU'RE
ON YOUR OWN TRYING TO GET OUT
OF THE PITZ PITCH.
The boys climb up from the pitch.
Franc says DON'T DRAG ME DOWN.
Karim says THIS IS NOT REALLY A GOOD
LOOK.
IT'S NOT REALLY A CLASSY EXIT IS
IT?
JUST LOOK COOL, JUST ACT COOL.
ACT COOL, YEAH?
YEAH, PEACE, SEE YOU IN A BIT.
Camille says PRETTY SLICK, KARIM.
GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION.
(music plays)
Camille says THIS WEEK THE BOYS WILL BE
LIVING LIKE LOCALS IN THE SMALL
FISHING TOWN OF SAN JUAN, IN
SOUTHERN GUATEMALA.
SITUATED ON THE EDGE OF A
VOLCANIC LAKE, YES, I DID SAY
VOLCANIC!
IT'S HOME FOR 12,000 PEOPLE,
MOST OF THEM MAYAN, AND QUITE A
BIT OF WILDLIFE.
(GROANING)
SNAKE!
SAN JUAN IS ALSO HOME TO JUANA
AND MARCO, THE BOYS' HOSTS FOR
THE WEEK.
A boy says THANKS.
A man says ALRIGHT, BRO.
Camille says HAVING TRAVELLED 5473 MILES
ACROSS THE WORLD, THE BOYS ARE
GETTING USED TO CULTURE SHOCKS.
Franc says OOH, WHAT WAS THAT?
Sol says A BUG.
Reef says THIS PLACE IS VERY
DIFFERENT TO HOME.
Franc says I COULD LIVE HERE.
Reef says I COULDN'T LIVE HERE.
Franc says YOU COULDN'T?
Sol says NO, I COULDN'T.
Reef says THE BUGS.
Sol says IT'S SO NICE THOUGH.
EVERYONE IS SO LOVELY.
Franc says YEAH.
Reef says YEAH, EVERYONE'S REALLY
FRIENDLY.
Camille says SO FRIENDLY IN FACT THAT
JUANA IS PREPARING THEM A
TRADITIONAL GUATEMALAN WELCOME
MEAL.
Juana is in her forties, with long curly brown hair in a half-do and wears a printed skirt and a printed blouse.
Karim says HERE WE GO, BOYS, THIS IS OUR
DINNER.
Camille says COACH JAVIER AND TWO OF THEIR
TRAINING BUDDIES BENJAMIN AND
MANUEL HAVE JOINED THEM IN THIS
MEAL FIT FOR WARRIORS.
Karim says WOAH.
(LAUGHING)
I MEAN IT'S LITERALLY...
IT'S FEET.
Camille says ACTUALLY, KARIM IT'S THE
CHICKEN FEET, LIVER, AND HEAD
COMPLETE WITH BEAK.
MAYANS CALL IT RUJAX AK OR
GIBLET SOUP, SOUNDS LOVELY.
Karim says DO YOU JUST BITE THE HEAD
OFF, YEAH?
OH, MY GOODNESS.
I'M GONNA HAVE A BITE WITH YOU.
Sol says OKAY, ALRIGHT.
Karim says COME ON PICK UP THE HEAD.
REEF, REEF.
Reef says I CAN'T DO THAT, LOOK AT IT.
THAT'S ITS FEET, CAN'T DO IT.
Karim says REEF, YOU CAN BRO.
IF I DO A BITE WITH YOU, WILL
YOU DO IT WITH ME, BECAUSE THIS
IS NEW TO ME AS WELL.
Franc says IT'S DISGUSTING, IT'S LITTLE
HANDS.
Karim says SOL, YOU GOING TO TRY IT
WITH ME?
Sol says YEAH.
Karim says ALRIGHT.
Reef says YOU GONE FOR IT?
Sol says HMM, IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
Javier speaks.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says EVERY PART OF
THIS CHICKEN HAS THE ENERGY AND
CALORIES TO THEM HELP PLAY PITZ.
(GROANING)
Camille says I THINK REEF AND FRANC ARE
STILL GOING TO TAKE A BIT MORE
CONVINCING.
Franc says I FEEL SORRY FOR IT, LOOK AT
IT.
IT'S JUST SCREAMING.
Karim says HEY, DO YOU WANT ME TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU?
IT'S LITERALLY LIKE CHICKEN
LEG, CHICKEN THIGH.
Franc says WHAT'S THE BIT OF THE LEG
THAT YOU CAN EAT?
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says YOU CAN EAT THIS
PART OF THE LEG HERE, WHERE YOU
CAN FIND THE MEAT.
Sol giggles.
Franc says ARE YOU SNAPPING A FINGER?
Sol says THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE MEANT TO
DO.
Franc says THAT'S THE WORST BIT.
Reef says NO, THAT'S WHAT HE JUST SAID
TO DO.
Sol says YAH!
Marco speaks in Spanish.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says ARE YOU ENJOYING
THE MEAL?
IS IT GOOD?
Sol says I REALLY LIKE IT, IT TASTES
LIKE CHICKEN, BUT IT'S KIND OF
GETTING OVER THAT FEAR OF
LOOKING AT IT.
Karim claps and says YES, BOY.
PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
Franc tries it and says IT'S NOT THAT BAD, IT'S JUST
KNOWING THAT IT'S A CHICKEN'S
HEAD.
Karim says HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN YOU TRY
IT YET, REEF.
COME ON, GIVE ME ONE BITE.
IT'S THE LAST TIME I'M GONNA
ASK.
Reef says I'LL STICK TO MY TORTILLA.
Camille says TWO THIRDS OF THEIR STOMACHS
LINED WITH THE SCREAM OF
CHICKEN SOUP AS I LIKE TO CALL
IT, THE BOYS NEED TO FIND OUT
IF THEY ARE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO
PLAY THE SPORT THEY'VE COME ALL
THIS WAY FOR.
IT'S NOW 8:00PM AND IN A SACRED
CLEARING IN THE WOODS, ON THE
EDGE OF SAN JUAN, THEY'LL SPEAK
TO THE ANCIENT MAYAN ANCESTORS
IN A SHAMAN RITUAL THAT HAS
BEEN HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE
GENERATIONS.
Franc says RIGHT, YOU READY FOR IT?
Sol says YEAH.
Karim says FOLLOW ME.
Sol says IT'S LIKE BEAR GRYLLS.
Karim says IT IS, RIGHT?
Sol says IS THIS IT HERE?
Karim says THIS IS IT.
Camille says YOU CAN'T JUST PICK UP A
PHONE AND FACETIME A LONG-DEAD
ANCESTOR, FOR THAT YOU NEED A
SHAMAN.
FORTUNATELY, AS I SAID,
JAVIER'S IS NOT ONLY
GUATEMALA'S NUMBER ONE PITZ
COACH, HE'S ALSO FULLY-FLEDGED
IN SHAMANING.
WHAT A GUY.
Javier stands by a bonfire. He bounces the ball and then moves it around over the fire.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
Camille says AS A SHAMAN, JAVIER CONDUCTS
THE CEREMONY IN TZ'UTUJIL, ONE
OF 21 DIFFERENT MAYAN DIALECTS.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
The translator says CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PUT OUT
YOUR HANDS.
Camille says IF THE ANCESTORS DON'T LIKE
THE LOOK OF THE BOYS, IT'S GAME
OVER AND STRAIGHT BACK HOME.
SO, THIS COULD BE A PRETTY
SHORT PROGRAMME.
(EXHALING)
Sol says IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL
THAT YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR
PERMISSION FROM THE ANCESTORS.
Franc says BECAUSE MOST SPORTS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO, YOU JUST GET
ON THE PITCH AND PLAY.
IF THEY SAID NO, I COULDN'T
PLAY, I MEAN THAT WOULD BE QUITE
SHOCKING.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
Reef says THE CEREMONY WAS VERY
POWERFUL.
JUST THE INTENSENESS.
Camille says THE FIRE IS THE HOTLINE TO
THE OTHER SIDE.
THIS IS HOW JAVIER COMMUNICATES
WITH THE ANCESTORS.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
Now Javier takes a leafy branch and shakes it in front of the boys.
Franc says I DIDN'T REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING,
BUT I COULD TELL BY HIS ACTIONS
HE FELT A LOT, THAT WAS REALLY
LIKE IMPORTANT TO HIM.
Camille says THE VERDICT IS IN, AND THE
MAYAN ANCESTORS HOTLINE
IS NOW CLOSED.
ANCESTORS' DECISIONS IS FINAL,
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY,
PLEASE DO NOT VOTE IF YOU'RE
WATCHING ON DEMAND.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says WE HAVE
INTRODUCED YOU TO THE FIRE, AND
YOU ARE NOW WARRIORS, AND YOU
CAN PRACTISE THE MAYAN BALL
GAME.
Camille says WELL DONE, YOU LOT.
YOU'VE PASSED YOUR FIRST MAYAN
WARRIOR TEST.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY PITZ.
AND WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT EVEN YOU
COULD BE A WARRIOR, KARIM?
Reef says FEELS GREAT TO BE BLESSED BY
THE ANCESTORS.
IT WAS VERY MOVING, VERY
MOTIVATIONAL.
YEAH, IT'S MADE ME FEEL PUMPED,
READY TO GO.
The translator says WE ARE GOING TO OFFER SOME
SEEDS TO THE ANCESTORS.
Sol says WELL, THE FACT THAT I GOT TO
DO THE CEREMONY WAS REALLY COOL,
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND I'M
REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO
TRAIN.
Franc says I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT I'M
NOW A MAYAN WARRIOR AND I CAN'T
WAIT TO PLAY PITZ AND TRY AND
BEAT THE LOCALS.
Camille says NEXT TIME ON
A WEEK
TO BEAT THE WORLD,
KARIM COMES
FACE TO FACE WITH THE HOTTEST
CUSTOMERS IN SAN JUAN.
Karim tries a hot pepper and says SO HOT!
(GROANING)
Camille says THE BOYS FIND THEIR PITZ
GROOVE, AND START A TOUGH WEEK
OF TRAINING, TO PREPARE FOR
THEIR FINAL CHALLENGE, TAKING
ON MAYAN WARRIORS AT THEIR OWN
GAME.
(GROANING)
Music plays as the end credits roll.

A clip shows a man in a dragon costume do flips.

A girl carries a tray full of cups.
A woman says GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
Camille says THE GIRLS HAVE GOT THIS.
Karim says NO WAY!
THE BOYS HAVE GOT THIS!
The boys and the girls join their hands together and cheer before the games.
(ALL CHEERING)
The name of the show appears against an animated bouncy planet Earth. It reads "A week to beat the world."
An animated map shows a plane travel from the UK to Central America.
Camille says GUATEMALA, IN THE
HEART OF CENTRAL AMERICA IS
HOME OF THE MAYANS, A LEADING

PRETTY GOOD AT HUMAN SACRIFICE.
IT'S A LAND OF ACTIVE
VOLCANOES, VAST LAKES, CRAZY

Karim and the boys climb up an ancient building wall.
One of the boys says IT'S SO HOT AS WELL.
Sol says IT'S HOT ISN'T IT?
THE BRICKS ARE HOT.
Sol says YEAH, IT'S BURNING ME.
Camille says AND ANCIENT LOST CITIES.
Karim says GUYS, WELCOME TO GUATEMALA!
Camille says THE BOY'S TEAM OF RUGBY
PLAYER FRANC, AMERICAN
FOOTBALLER REEF, AND GYMNAST
SOL ARE HERE TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THIS WEEK'S EPIC
INTERNATIONAL SPORTING

Karim says WHAT IF I SAID TO YOU THE
WORD PITZ?
They all say NO, NOT A CLUE.
Karim says WELL, IT'S ALSO KNOWN AS

Karim says LOOK AT THAT, HAVE YOU EVER
PLAYED A SPORT IN A PIT BEFORE?
Franc says NEVER, THAT'S CRAZY.

GOING TO BE LEARNING.
THIS GAME HAS SUPER HIGH STAKES.
BACK IN THE DAY IF TWO CITIES

TO SORT IT OUT AND THE TEAM THAT
LOSES WERE ACTUALLY SACRIFICED.
YEAH, CUT THEIR CHEST OPEN, THE
HEART WOULD COME OUT, STILL
BEATING.
Reef says LOVELY.
Karim says IT'S NOT A GAME YOU WANT TO
LOSE 'CAUSE IF YOU DO LOSE, YOU
ARE QUITE LITERALLY GUTTED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Camille says PITZ IS A GAME OF TWO HALVES,
AND A GAME OF TWO TEAMS OF

PLAYED ON A PITCH THAT LOOKS
LIKE A BIT LIKE A STRETCHED-OUT
H.
YOU SCORE BY WHACKING THE
THREE-KILO BALL OR K'OLAJ OVER

SOUNDS PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD,
BUT QUITE HARD WHEN YOU CAN'T

SO, IT'S MAINLY PLAYED WITH THE

YOU CAN'T PASS TO A PLAYER ON
YOUR OWN TEAM, AND THE BEST WAY
TO SCORE IS TO PUSH THE

THERE'S ALSO A MAGICAL DOUBLE

KIND OF LIKE A GOLDEN SNITCH IN

THE MAN CHARGED WITH HELPING
THE BOYS WITH THEIR HIP

Karim says JAVIER.

Javier is in his thirties, with slightly long brown hair and wears traditional native clothes. He speaks Spanish.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says I'M SURPRISED, I
WAS EXPECTING THREE KIDS, AND
NOW THERE ARE FOUR.
Karim says YOU'RE FUNNY.
RIGHT, LET ME TELL YOU A BIT
MORE ABOUT JAVIER.
I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO BE NICE
ABOUT HIM.
HE IS GUATEMALA'S BEST PITZ
COACH EVER, HE'S ALSO A MAYAN
SPORTS' MINISTER AND A SHAMAN,
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
THAT'S LIKE HARRY KANE BEING IN
PARLIAMENT AND BEING A WIZARD.
(BOYS LAUGHING)
Reef says IT LOOKED PRETTY BRUTAL.
Franc says I'VE NEVER SEEN A SPORT LIKE
IT.
Sol says I THINK WE HAVE GOT A
MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB.
Camille says COACH JAVIER'S LOCAL YOUTH
TEAM, WHO THE BOYS WILL BE
TRAINING WITH THIS WEEK, ARE
HERE TO SCARE THE LIFE OUT OF...
I MEAN SHOW THEM THE BASICS.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says IT'S A RUBBER
BALL, WEIGHING THREE KILOS.
Karim says THAT IS GONNA HURT IF IT
LANDS ON YOUR FOOT, RIGHT?
Franc says EVEN MY HIPS THAT'S GONNA
HURT.
Karim says YEAH.
Sol says HOW ARE YOU MEANT TO GET THE
BALL UP HIGH?
Karim says GOOD QUESTION, BRO.
Another team member speaks Spanish.
The translator says THE MORE WE PLAY,
THE BETTER SKILLED WE BECOME
AND CAN HIT IT HIGHER.
Franc says DO YOUR HIPS HURT FROM
PLAYING THE GAME?
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says NO, I'M USED TO
THE PAIN NOW.
Camille says YOU SEE HE SAID NO, BUT THEN
HE SAID HE'S USED TO THE PAIN,
WHICH TO ME SAYS YES.
SO, GOOD LUCK BOYS, THESE GUYS
HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR YEARS AND
YOU'VE GOT FIVE SHORT DAYS TO
LEARN HOW TO BOUNCE A
CANNONBALL OFF YOUR HIPS...
(GRUNTING)
Camille says SO YOU CAN TAKE THE LOCALS ON
AT THEIR OWN GAME.
The translator says YOU NEED
PRACTICE, THEN YOU'LL BE
EXPERIENCED.
Karim says COME ON, FRANC!
Franc says I WAS REALLY SURPRISED HOW
HEAVY THE BALL IS.
Javier says THERE YOU ARE.
Franc says YOU THINK IT'S A BALL, SO
YOU THINK JUST LIKE A RUGBY
BALL, JUST LIKE A FOOTBALL.
IT'S NOT GOING TO HURT THAT
MUCH, BUT IT'S A SOLID BALL AND
IT HURTS, EVEN COMPARED TO LIKE
GETTING TACKLED AND JUMPED ON IN
RUGBY.
Camille says 13-YEAR-OLD FRANC IS CAPTAIN
OF ONE OF THE TOP YOUTH RUGBY
TEAMS IN THE COUNTRY.
HE MAY BE USED TO BALL SPORTS,
BUT WILL HE BE ABLE TO SURVIVE
FIVE DAYS OF INCESSANT HIP
POUNDING?
Karim says COME ON, REEF.
GIVE IT A BIG HIP, GO ON.
Sol says OOH, YEAH.
Karim says MORE BUM THAN HIP THOUGH,
REEF, BUT THAT'S FINE.
Reef says THE THING THAT INTIMIDATES
ME MOST ABOUT PLAYING THIS GAME
IS PROBABLY JUST HOW HARD YOU
HIT THE FLOOR.
(GRUNTING)
Karim says YES, REEF.
Franc says SAY GOODBYE TO A WHITE
SHIRT.
Camille says 14-YEAR-OLD REEF MAY BE USED
TO TAKING HARD HITS AS A
QUARTERBACK FOR HIS TOP
AMERICAN FOOTBALL TEAM, BUT
THERE IS ONE CRITICAL
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PITZ AND HIS
SPORT.
Reef says UH, IT'S VERY DIFFERENT TO
AMERICAN FOOTBALL, WE HAVE PADS,
GIRDLES, PADS UNDER PADS,
HELMETS, AND WITH THIS IT'S JUST
WAR PAINT AND SPIRITUAL SCARVES.
(CHUCKLING)
Now Sol kicks the ball with his hip.
Karim says NICE, SOL.
Sol says BEING A GYMNAST I FEEL LIKE
I KIND OF HAVE THAT BEND WHICH
I CAN GO BACKWARDS QUITE EASILY.
Camille says BENDIER THAN MOST 11-YEAR
OLDS, SOL IS IN THE ENGLAND
GYMNASTICS SQUAD, AND IS
NATIONAL UNDER-12 VAULT
CHAMPION.
Sol says I THINK WE'LL WORK REALLY
GOOD AS A TEAM TOGETHER BECAUSE
WE'VE ALL GOT DIFFERENT SKILLS.
SO, REEF'S REALLY TALL.
Karim says YES, REEF.
Sol says I'M LIKE SHORT AND SPEEDY.
Karim says YES, BRO, COME ON, FRANC.
Sol says AND FRANC'S QUITE POWERFUL,
SO I THINK WE'LL WORK REALLY
GOOD TOGETHER.
Karim says YEAH!
Franc says I'M REALLY EXCITED TO PLAY
IN THE MATCH.
OBVIOUSLY, I'M A BIT NERVOUS
BECAUSE I COULD GET SACRIFICED.
Karim says NICE ONE.
Franc says WE'VE ONLY GOT A WEEK SO I
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY,
REALLY CHALLENGING.
Camille says JUST AS THE BOY'S TEAM ARE
GETTING INTO THE GAME, JAVIER
HAS NEWS THAT COULD BRING AN
ABRUPT END TO THEIR WEEK WHEN
IT'S BARELY BEGUN.
Karim says SEE?
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says BEFORE WE GO ANY
FURTHER, WE NEED TO ASK
PERMISSION TO PLAY FROM THE
ANCESTORS.
Camille says NOT EVERYONE IS ACTUALLY
ALLOWED TO PLAY THE SACRED GAME
OF PITZ.
IN MAYAN CULTURE, YOU NEED THE
OFFICIAL OKAY FROM ANCIENT,
LONG DEAD ANCESTORS.
MULTI-TALENTED JAVIER IS GOING
TO TRY AND PULL A FEW STRINGS
WITH THEM LATER TO ENSURE
YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE NEXT
FLIGHT HOME, BUT KARIM, YOU'RE
ON YOUR OWN TRYING TO GET OUT
OF THE PITZ PITCH.
The boys climb up from the pitch.
Franc says DON'T DRAG ME DOWN.
Karim says THIS IS NOT REALLY A GOOD
LOOK.
IT'S NOT REALLY A CLASSY EXIT IS
IT?
JUST LOOK COOL, JUST ACT COOL.
ACT COOL, YEAH?
YEAH, PEACE, SEE YOU IN A BIT.
Camille says PRETTY SLICK, KARIM.
GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION.
(music plays)
Camille says THIS WEEK THE BOYS WILL BE
LIVING LIKE LOCALS IN THE SMALL
FISHING TOWN OF SAN JUAN, IN
SOUTHERN GUATEMALA.
SITUATED ON THE EDGE OF A
VOLCANIC LAKE, YES, I DID SAY
VOLCANIC!
IT'S HOME FOR 12,000 PEOPLE,
MOST OF THEM MAYAN, AND QUITE A
BIT OF WILDLIFE.
(GROANING)
SNAKE!
SAN JUAN IS ALSO HOME TO JUANA
AND MARCO, THE BOYS' HOSTS FOR
THE WEEK.
A boy says THANKS.
A man says ALRIGHT, BRO.
Camille says HAVING TRAVELLED 5473 MILES
ACROSS THE WORLD, THE BOYS ARE
GETTING USED TO CULTURE SHOCKS.
Franc says OOH, WHAT WAS THAT?
Sol says A BUG.
Reef says THIS PLACE IS VERY
DIFFERENT TO HOME.
Franc says I COULD LIVE HERE.
Reef says I COULDN'T LIVE HERE.
Franc says YOU COULDN'T?
Sol says NO, I COULDN'T.
Reef says THE BUGS.
Sol says IT'S SO NICE THOUGH.
EVERYONE IS SO LOVELY.
Franc says YEAH.
Reef says YEAH, EVERYONE'S REALLY
FRIENDLY.
Camille says SO FRIENDLY IN FACT THAT
JUANA IS PREPARING THEM A
TRADITIONAL GUATEMALAN WELCOME
MEAL.
Juana is in her forties, with long curly brown hair in a half-do and wears a printed skirt and a printed blouse.
Karim says HERE WE GO, BOYS, THIS IS OUR
DINNER.
Camille says COACH JAVIER AND TWO OF THEIR
TRAINING BUDDIES BENJAMIN AND
MANUEL HAVE JOINED THEM IN THIS
MEAL FIT FOR WARRIORS.
Karim says WOAH.
(LAUGHING)
I MEAN IT'S LITERALLY...
IT'S FEET.
Camille says ACTUALLY, KARIM IT'S THE
CHICKEN FEET, LIVER, AND HEAD
COMPLETE WITH BEAK.
MAYANS CALL IT RUJAX AK OR
GIBLET SOUP, SOUNDS LOVELY.
Karim says DO YOU JUST BITE THE HEAD
OFF, YEAH?
OH, MY GOODNESS.
I'M GONNA HAVE A BITE WITH YOU.
Sol says OKAY, ALRIGHT.
Karim says COME ON PICK UP THE HEAD.
REEF, REEF.
Reef says I CAN'T DO THAT, LOOK AT IT.
THAT'S ITS FEET, CAN'T DO IT.
Karim says REEF, YOU CAN BRO.
IF I DO A BITE WITH YOU, WILL
YOU DO IT WITH ME, BECAUSE THIS
IS NEW TO ME AS WELL.
Franc says IT'S DISGUSTING, IT'S LITTLE
HANDS.
Karim says SOL, YOU GOING TO TRY IT
WITH ME?
Sol says YEAH.
Karim says ALRIGHT.
Reef says YOU GONE FOR IT?
Sol says HMM, IT'S NOT TOO BAD.
Javier speaks.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says EVERY PART OF
THIS CHICKEN HAS THE ENERGY AND
CALORIES TO THEM HELP PLAY PITZ.
(GROANING)
Camille says I THINK REEF AND FRANC ARE
STILL GOING TO TAKE A BIT MORE
CONVINCING.
Franc says I FEEL SORRY FOR IT, LOOK AT
IT.
IT'S JUST SCREAMING.
Karim says HEY, DO YOU WANT ME TO BE
HONEST WITH YOU?
IT'S LITERALLY LIKE CHICKEN
LEG, CHICKEN THIGH.
Franc says WHAT'S THE BIT OF THE LEG
THAT YOU CAN EAT?
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says YOU CAN EAT THIS
PART OF THE LEG HERE, WHERE YOU
CAN FIND THE MEAT.
Sol giggles.
Franc says ARE YOU SNAPPING A FINGER?
Sol says THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE MEANT TO
DO.
Franc says THAT'S THE WORST BIT.
Reef says NO, THAT'S WHAT HE JUST SAID
TO DO.
Sol says YAH!
Marco speaks in Spanish.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
The translator says ARE YOU ENJOYING
THE MEAL?
IS IT GOOD?
Sol says I REALLY LIKE IT, IT TASTES
LIKE CHICKEN, BUT IT'S KIND OF
GETTING OVER THAT FEAR OF
LOOKING AT IT.
Karim claps and says YES, BOY.
PROUD OF YOU, MAN.
Franc tries it and says IT'S NOT THAT BAD, IT'S JUST
KNOWING THAT IT'S A CHICKEN'S
HEAD.
Karim says HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN YOU TRY
IT YET, REEF.
COME ON, GIVE ME ONE BITE.
IT'S THE LAST TIME I'M GONNA
ASK.
Reef says I'LL STICK TO MY TORTILLA.
Camille says TWO THIRDS OF THEIR STOMACHS
LINED WITH THE SCREAM OF
CHICKEN SOUP AS I LIKE TO CALL
IT, THE BOYS NEED TO FIND OUT
IF THEY ARE ACTUALLY ALLOWED TO
PLAY THE SPORT THEY'VE COME ALL
THIS WAY FOR.
IT'S NOW 8:00PM AND IN A SACRED
CLEARING IN THE WOODS, ON THE
EDGE OF SAN JUAN, THEY'LL SPEAK
TO THE ANCIENT MAYAN ANCESTORS
IN A SHAMAN RITUAL THAT HAS
BEEN HANDED DOWN THROUGH THE
GENERATIONS.
Franc says RIGHT, YOU READY FOR IT?
Sol says YEAH.
Karim says FOLLOW ME.
Sol says IT'S LIKE BEAR GRYLLS.
Karim says IT IS, RIGHT?
Sol says IS THIS IT HERE?
Karim says THIS IS IT.
Camille says YOU CAN'T JUST PICK UP A
PHONE AND FACETIME A LONG-DEAD
ANCESTOR, FOR THAT YOU NEED A
SHAMAN.
FORTUNATELY, AS I SAID,
JAVIER'S IS NOT ONLY
GUATEMALA'S NUMBER ONE PITZ
COACH, HE'S ALSO FULLY-FLEDGED
IN SHAMANING.
WHAT A GUY.
Javier stands by a bonfire. He bounces the ball and then moves it around over the fire.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
Camille says AS A SHAMAN, JAVIER CONDUCTS
THE CEREMONY IN TZ'UTUJIL, ONE
OF 21 DIFFERENT MAYAN DIALECTS.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
The translator says CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PUT OUT
YOUR HANDS.
Camille says IF THE ANCESTORS DON'T LIKE
THE LOOK OF THE BOYS, IT'S GAME
OVER AND STRAIGHT BACK HOME.
SO, THIS COULD BE A PRETTY
SHORT PROGRAMME.
(EXHALING)
Sol says IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY COOL
THAT YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR
PERMISSION FROM THE ANCESTORS.
Franc says BECAUSE MOST SPORTS
YOU DON'T HAVE TO, YOU JUST GET
ON THE PITCH AND PLAY.
IF THEY SAID NO, I COULDN'T
PLAY, I MEAN THAT WOULD BE QUITE
SHOCKING.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
Reef says THE CEREMONY WAS VERY
POWERFUL.
JUST THE INTENSENESS.
Camille says THE FIRE IS THE HOTLINE TO
THE OTHER SIDE.
THIS IS HOW JAVIER COMMUNICATES
WITH THE ANCESTORS.
(SPEAKING IN TZ'UTUJIL)
Now Javier takes a leafy branch and shakes it in front of the boys.
Franc says I DIDN'T REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WAS SAYING,
BUT I COULD TELL BY HIS ACTIONS
HE FELT A LOT, THAT WAS REALLY
LIKE IMPORTANT TO HIM.
Camille says THE VERDICT IS IN, AND THE
MAYAN ANCESTORS HOTLINE
IS NOW CLOSED.
ANCESTORS' DECISIONS IS FINAL,
TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLY,
PLEASE DO NOT VOTE IF YOU'RE
WATCHING ON DEMAND.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
The translator says WE HAVE
INTRODUCED YOU TO THE FIRE, AND
YOU ARE NOW WARRIORS, AND YOU
CAN PRACTISE THE MAYAN BALL
GAME.
Camille says WELL DONE, YOU LOT.
YOU'VE PASSED YOUR FIRST MAYAN
WARRIOR TEST.
YOU ARE ALLOWED TO PLAY PITZ.
AND WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT EVEN YOU
COULD BE A WARRIOR, KARIM?
Reef says FEELS GREAT TO BE BLESSED BY
THE ANCESTORS.
IT WAS VERY MOVING, VERY
MOTIVATIONAL.
YEAH, IT'S MADE ME FEEL PUMPED,
READY TO GO.
The translator says WE ARE GOING TO OFFER SOME
SEEDS TO THE ANCESTORS.
Sol says WELL, THE FACT THAT I GOT TO
DO THE CEREMONY WAS REALLY COOL,
SOMETHING DIFFERENT, AND I'M
REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO
TRAIN.
Franc says I'M REALLY EXCITED THAT I'M
NOW A MAYAN WARRIOR AND I CAN'T
WAIT TO PLAY PITZ AND TRY AND
BEAT THE LOCALS.
Camille says NEXT TIME ON
A WEEK
TO BEAT THE WORLD,
KARIM COMES
FACE TO FACE WITH THE HOTTEST
CUSTOMERS IN SAN JUAN.
Karim tries a hot pepper and says SO HOT!
(GROANING)
Camille says THE BOYS FIND THEIR PITZ
GROOVE, AND START A TOUGH WEEK
OF TRAINING, TO PREPARE FOR
THEIR FINAL CHALLENGE, TAKING
ON MAYAN WARRIORS AT THEIR OWN
GAME.
(GROANING)
Music plays as the end credits roll.
