Karim is in his twenties, with short wavy brown hair and wears jean Bermuda shorts and a striped yellow shirt.

He walks down a street market and says WELCOME TO GUATEMALA, OR AS
I LIKE TO NOW CALL IT,
"HOT-EMALA."
LAND OF THE ANCIENT MAYAN
PEOPLE, LAND OF HUMAN SACRIFICE,
AND LAND OF THE VERY, VERY HOT
CHILLI.

He takes a bite and says HOT!

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.

Camille says BOXING, GYMNASTICS,
HORSE-RIDING, AND RUNNING.

Jocelyn is 12, with long red hair in a braid and boxes.

Sol is 11, with short curly brown hair and does gymnastics flips.

Neisha is 14, with long wavy brown hair in a braid. She rides a horse and runs.

Karim says AND THEY'RE TAKING THEIR
SKILLS ACROSS THE WORLD.

Captions read "Brazil. Kenya. Mongolia. Malaysia. Guatemala. Japan."

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."

Camille says DAY TWO IN
GUATEMALA, IN THE HEART OF
CENTRAL AMERICA.
YESTERDAY, THE BOY'S TEAM OF
RUGBY PLAYER FRANC, GYMNAST
SOL, AND AMERICAN FOOTBALLER
REEF GOT THEIR FIRST TASTE OF
MAYAN CULTURE.

Sol tries a traditional dish with chicken feet in it and gasps.

(GASPING)

Camille says THEY'VE SEEN THE SPORT OF PITZ,
WHICH THEY'VE ONLY FIVE DAYS TO
MASTER, AND WERE GRANTED
PERMISSION FROM ANCIENT MAYAN
ANCESTOR SPIRITS TO ACTUALLY
PLAY THE GAME.
PITZ IS PLAYED BY WHACKING THE
BALL OVER THE OPPONENT'S END
LINE TO SCORE A GOAL.
EASY.
HM, THE CATCH IS YOU CAN ONLY
USE YOUR HIPS.
THIS IS NO HOLIDAY.
TODAY, THE BOYS' TRAINING WILL
GET SERIOUS.
COACH JAVIER WILL BE TRAINING
THEM HARD, BECAUSE AT THE END
OF THE WEEK THEY HAVE TO BE
READY FOR A MATCH AGAINST THE
LOCALS.

Karim and the boys walk down to the pitch where they meet Javier.

Javier is in his thirties, with slightly long brown hair pulled back into a half ponytail.

Karim says THIS IS WHERE THE TRAINING
BEGINS, OKAY?
JAVIER, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
MY TEAM ARE HERE FOR A LITTLE
BIT OF TRAINING.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says WE'RE GOING TO
TRAIN WITH YOU TO SEE HOW GOOD
YOU ARE AND LEARN HOW TO HIT
THE BALL.
FIRST, WE HAVE TO BE FOCUSED.
WATCH THE BALL.
SEE WHERE IT'S GOING TO BOUNCE
AND WE HIT.

J says UNO, DOS, Y TRES.
MUY BIEN.

Camille says THE BOY'S TEAM ARE USED TO
TOUGH SPORTS, BUT PITZ IS ITS
OWN SPECIAL TOUGH WORLD OF
EXTRA TOUGH TOUGHNESS.
THE SOLID RUBBER BALL WEIGHS
ALMOST THREE KILOGRAMS.
THAT'S WHERE THE HIPS COME IN,
A ROBUST, MUSCULAR PART OF THE
BODY, WITHOUT SMALL FRAGILE
BONES, AND ABLE TO CREATE A
SWIFT FORWARD MOTION.
IF THE BOYS ARE HOPING TO STILL
BE WALKING AT THE END OF THE
WEEK, THEY NEED LEARN THIS
TECHNIQUE AND FAST.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says EACH PERSON COME
TO THE MIDDLE TO HIT THE BALL.

A local player hits the ball.

Karim says HEY, HIP HIP HOORAY!
HIP!

Camille says YEAH, GREAT START, KARIM.
AND IT'S NOT AS EASY AS IT
LOOKS.
LIKE SUDOKU.

Karim says YES, REEF.

Sol says THAT'S REALLY HARD.

Reef says FELT LIKE, YOU KNOW, I COULD
COPE WITH THE GAME VERY WELL,
BUT I'M HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS.
IT WAS PAINFUL.

Karim says COME ON, FRANC.

Franc says OOH!
THAT WAS MY THIGH.
OF COURSE, THERE'S AN ELEMENT OF
IT BEING HARD, IT'S REALLY HARD,
BUT I THINK ONCE TO GET OVER
THAT, IF I CAN HIT THE BALL
RIGHT, KNOW WHAT MOVES TO USE,
I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY,
REALLY FUN.

Now Sol gives it a try.

Karim says NICE, SOL!

Sol says THE BALL WAS REALLY HEAVY,
THE WAY I HIT THE BALL, I MEANT
TO HIT IT ON MY HIP, BUT IT'S
QUITE HARD TO HIT IT THERE, SO I
ALWAYS IT HIT IT ON MY THIGH AND
IT REALLY HURTS.

Camille says SO FAR, SO PAINFUL.
PITZ HAS MADE A BRUISE-SHAPED
FIRST IMPRESSION ON THE BOYS,
BUT IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A
TOUGH WEEK.

Javier speaks in Spanish.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

The translator says FROM THE FIRST
TIME I SAW THEM, I COULD SEE
THEIR DESIRE TO PLAY THE MAYAN
BALL GAME.

He shows the boys some moves and says UNO, DOS, Y TRES.

The translator says I'M A BIT
NERVOUS, BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
WORK HARD AND LEARN TO PLAY THE
GAME.
BUT IN PITZ, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT
WILL HAPPEN.

Camille says I HAVE A FEELING HE MIGHT BE
RIGHT, PARTICULARLY WITH KARIM
ON THE PITCH.

Karim says WOAH, JAVIER.
I FEEL LIKE YOU NEED A BIT OF AN
URBAN VIBE TO PITZ.

Camille says URBAN VIBE TO PITZ?!
YEAH, LET'S PUT A DJ BOOTH IN
STONEHENGE, TOO.

He crosses his legs, goes down, and spins on his feet then kicks the ball and says YEAH?

Camille says YEAH, HE LOVES IT, KARIM.
KEEP IT UP.

Karim teaches the local to stand on their hands and do the cross, bend, and twist move.

Karim says AY!
YEAH, SICK, SICK!

Camille says OH, GOOD IT'S OVER.

Karim says JAVIER, COME JOIN ME A SEC.

Camille says AH, NO IT'S NOT.

Now Karim teaches everyone a Capoeira like move and says TWO, THREE, FOUR, AND THEN
BACK TO BEAT BOY.
YEAH!
DO YOU THINK MY BREAKDANCING
WILL HELP IN THE GAME OF PITZ?

Javier speaks.

The translator says OF COURSE NOT, THAT WOULD BE
A DISASTER AND USELESS FOR A
MAYAN SPORT.

Karim says JUST SAYING.

Camille says JAVIER, WHAT A GUY!
(LAUGHING)

Karim gets a call from Camille.

Karim says AH, CAMILLE.

Camille says KARIM, YOU'VE BEEN TRYING AND
FAILING TO SHOW OFF HOW COOL
YOU ARE.
WELL, HERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE.
IF YOU'RE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE,
GET DOWN TO THE MARKET, WHERE
I'VE ARRANGED A HOT DATE WITH
YOUR FAVOURITE GUATEMALAN
DELICACY.
CHILLIES!

Karim says FINE BY ME.
LOVE CHILLIES.
HAVE THEM ON MY BREAKFAST.
BOYS, YOU KEEP WORKING HARD.
SEE YOU BACK AT THE GAFF, YEAH?

Franc says AREN'T YOU PLAYING?

Karim says UM, I'VE JUST GOT TO, YEAH.

Camille says THE BOYS HAVE JUST THREE
FULL DAYS OF TRAINING SO THEY
NEED TO PERFECT THEIR
TECHNIQUE.
GET IT WRONG AND IT HURTS.
PITZ REALLY CAN BE THE PITS.
SO, KARIM'S BACK IN SAN JUAN
SAFELY OUT OF THEIR WAY, WHERE
HE'S ABOUT TO GET MUCH, MUCH
HOTTER, AND I DON'T MEAN A
MAKEOVER.
LOADS OF DIFFERENT CHILLIES
ORIGINATE IN GUATEMALA, SO HE'S
GOING TO THE INDOOR MARKET TO
CHOMP HIS WAY UP THE HEAT
SCALE.

Karim says CHILLI, CHILLI, CHILLI.
COME TO ME.

Camille says THE MAYAN NAME FOR CHILLIES
IS "ICK," WHICH COINCIDENTALLY
IS THE NOISE KARIM'S PROBABLY
GOING TO MAKE IN A MINUTE.

Karim walks in the market and says CHILLI, CHILLI.
HOLA, COMO ESTAS.

The vendor says BIEN, GRACIAS.

Karim says BIEN?
I NEED SOME CHILLI, BUT I'M KIND
OF A TRY BEFORE YOU BUY KIND OF
GUY.

Camille says WHILE KARIM CONFUSES THE
LOCALS, OUR BOYS ARE STILL HIP
DEEP IN TRAINING.
TODAY IS GIVING THEM A SERIOUS
WAKE-UP CALL, BUT THEY NEED TO
STICK WITH IT.

Franc says IT DOES HURT A LOT.
THE CONSTANT HITTING TO THE...
WELL, FOR ME THE THIGHS, BECAUSE
I WASN'T HITTING IT RIGHT.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Javier says FRANC IS A
TALENTED AND CONFIDENT PERSON,
AND HE'S VERY DARING.

Camille says FEARLESS FRANC IS NO STRANGER
TO TAKING A KNOCK OR TWO, AS
CAPTAIN OF HIS RUGBY TEAM,
WHICH HE PLAYS AT THE TOP LEVEL
FOR HIS AGE.

Franc says RUGBY HAS REALLY HELPED MY
CONFIDENCE AND MY ATHLETIC
ABILITY.
I TRAIN ABOUT 9 HOURS A WEEK,
BUT IF I COULD I'D TRAIN ALL DAY
EVERY DAY.
I AM QUITE COMPETITIVE.
ON GAME DAY, I'D SAY I'M ABOUT
20 OUT OF 10 IN COMPETITIVENESS.
I ENJOY RUGBY SO MUCH.
MY DREAM IS TO PLAY FOR
ENGLAND, PLAY IN THE WORLD CUP,
WIN IT.
I REALLY WANT TO PLAY FOR
ENGLAND.

Camille says BEFORE HE BECOMES ENGLAND
CAPTAIN, FRANC HAS TO MASTER
THE BASICS OF PITZ.
BABY STEPS.

Karim says THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.

Camille says KARIM MIGHT THINK HE'S
GETTING OFF LIGHTLY, BUT I'M
PRETTY SURE THERE'S A WHOLE
OTHER GUATEMALAN PAIN WAITING
FOR HIM.

Karim says GRACIAS.
THAT'S THE MILDEST?

The vendor says MM-HM.

Camille says SHE'S STARTING YOU OFF NICE
AND GENTLE.
BEGINNER'S CHILLI.

Karim tastes it and says YOU LIED TO ME.

He coughs and says IT'S LOVELY, BUT IT CANNOT GET
HOTTER THAN THAT.
OH, MY.

Camille says SO, WHILE KARIM'S LOSING FACE
WITH THE LOCALS AND SETTING HIS
FACE ON FIRE, THE BOY'S TEAM
ARE STILL BATTLING THE PAIN OF
PITZ.
COACH JAVIER IS NOT GOING TO GO
EASY ON THEM THIS WEEK.
(GRUNTING)

Franc says YEAH, WHATEVER YOU DO HURTS.

Reef says OH, MY WORD.
YEAH, I THINK WE'LL WORK THROUGH
THE PAIN.
(JAVIER SPEAKING SPANISH)
NO PAIN, NO GAIN.

Javier says REEF, IS A PERSON
WHO'S CALM AND SERIOUS, BUT ALSO
INDEPENDENT, AND LIKES TO DO
THINGS HIS OWN WAY.

Camille says REEF'S SINGLEMINDEDNESS IS
NO SURPRISE.
AS A QUARTERBACK IN AMERICAN
FOOTBALL, HE HAS TO DICTATE
EVERY OFFENSIVE PLAY.

Reef says WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICAN
FOOTBALL, IT'S ALL I THINK ABOUT
AND EVERYTHING ELSE DISAPPEARS.
READY, GO.
MY AIM IS OF COURSE PLAYING
AMERICAN FOOTBALL TO MAKE IT TO
THE NFL.
PREFERABLY FLORIDA, SOME NICE
WEATHER THERE.
READY, GO!

Camille says AND IN HIS SPORT, HE SHOULD
BE USED TO A BIT OF IMPACT TOO.

Reef says WHEN I'M ON THE FIELD, I'M
ABLE TO BLOCK OUT THE PAIN.
WHEN I GET HIT, I JUST GET BACK
UP, JUST CARRY ON, NEXT PLAY.

In the Pitz pitch, Reef says YEAH GOOD, YEAH.
(LAUGHING)
KEEP GOING.

Camille says WITH THE BRUISES PILING UP,
IT SEEMS THE BOYS ARE
DEVELOPING THEIR OWN TECHNIQUES
TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN.

Sol says HONESTLY, IT HURTS SO MUCH.
I LITERALLY JUST MISSED IT ON
PURPOSE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO
GET HIT IN THE SAME PLACE AGAIN.
(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Javier says EVEN AT SUCH A
YOUNG AGE, SOL HAS MANY TALENTS.

Camille says TALENT SHOULD BE 12-YEAR-OLD
SOL'S MIDDLE NAME.
HE'S IN THE ENGLAND GYMNASTICS
SQUAD, AND IS NATIONAL UNDER-12
VAULT CHAMPION.

Aa clip shows Sol practicing his gymnastics moves.

Sol says I TRAIN 23 HOURS A WEEK.
MY FAVOURITE PART WHEN I TRAIN
IS PROBABLY DOING THE VAULT AND
TUMBLING.
I THINK I'M QUITE FAST.
I'M NOT, LIKE, RIGHT AT THE TOP
BUT I THINK GYMNASTICS HAS
GIVEN ME FLEXIBILITY AND
STRENGTH.

Camille says AS A GYMNAST, HE NEEDS ALL
ROUND FITNESS, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY FOR SOL, THERE'S
NO GYMNASTIC MOVE TO PREPARE
HIM FOR A RUBBER BALL ATTACK.
(GROANING)
BACK IN THE MARKET, IT'S KARIM
KEEPS HIS COOL STAGE TWO.

Karim says MY MOUTH IS ON FIRE, I SWEAR
DOWN.
OKAY, IT'S JUST BECAUSE OF MY
ACTING BACKGROUND I CAN PRETEND
I'M OKAY.
IT'S NICE, IT'S REALLY HOT.
(LAUGHING)
(EXHALING)

Karim says OH MY GOODNESS, IT'S GETTING
WORSE.
HOT.

Camille says I THOUGHT YOU ATE CHILLIES
FOR BREAKFAST?
COME ON, GET IT IN YOUR
OVERACTING FACE, AND THINK
YOURSELF LUCKY.
AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT PLAYING
PITZ, WHERE THE BOYS ARE STILL
TAKING A BATTERING.
I DON'T GET HOW PEOPLE PLAY
THIS GAME.
WHAT!
THESE GUYS ARE SO GOOD!

Sol says AFTER MY FIRST TRAINING
SESSION, I FEEL A BIT, LIKE,
ACHY AND LIKE SORE.

Javier says MUY BIEN.

Sol says I THINK REEF AND FRANC ARE
GETTING BETTER.
I THINK REEF'S HURT HIMSELF
QUITE A BIT.

Reef limps and rubs his hips and says OH MY GOD, OH MY DAYS, OH
THAT HURT.
MY HIPS ARE GONE, NON-EXISTENT
BRUISED.

He groans and says BREATHE.
ONE SESSION, MY HIP IS DEAD.

Franc says A LOT HARDER THAN I
EXPECTED.
I THOUGHT I'D BE ABLE TO JUST
COME IN, HIT THE BALL, AND GET
STRAIGHT INTO THE GAME, BUT IT'S
GOING TO BE HARDER THAN I
THOUGHT TO TRY AND HIT THE BALL
RIGHT AND BEAT THE LOCALS.

Camille says WELL, LET'S HOPE YOU HAVE
MORE LUCK THAN KARIM.

Karim says IS THIS LIKE ONE OF THE
HOTTEST YOU HAVE?!

The vendor says SI.

Karim says READY?
DO IT WITH ME?

The vendor says UH-HUH.

Karim says CHEERS!
(CHUCKLING)

Camille says LAST CHANCE TO REDEEM
YOURSELF, KARIM.
OH, HE'S ACTUALLY DOING OKAY.
EASY, DON'T GET COCKY.

Karim says COME ON THEN.
WANNA PLAY THIS GAME WITH ME?
YOU WANNA PLAY WITH ME?
I'LL EAT THE STALK!
UH-HUH, NOW WHO'S LAUGHING?
(LAUGHING)

The vendor laughs.

Karim cringes and says IT'S SO HOT.

He jumps and groans and says IT DOESN'T STOP, IT GETS WORSE.
(BLOWING)

He pours water on his head and says IS SHE CHOPPING MORE CHILLIES?

Camille says LOOKS LIKE IT.
I'D GET OUT OF THERE QUICK.
QUIT WHILE YOU'RE BEHIND.

Karim walks away and says GRACIAS.

The vendor keeps laughing.

Camille says BACK AT BASE, AT THE END OF
THE DAY, IT'S TIME TO ASSESS
THE DAMAGE.

In their room, Reef says HOW ARE YOU TWO FEELING
ABOUT TODAY?

Franc says SORE.

Sol says LITERALLY MY THIGHS ARE DEAD
FROM THAT PITZ GAME.

Karim says YEAH, MAN, I'M SORE.

The boys say YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!

Karim says WHAT YOU MEAN I DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING?
DIDN'T YOU SEE MY BREAKDANCE
MOVES?

Franc says AH, THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD.

Reef says THEY WERE PRETTY GOOD.

Karim says I SPOKE TO OUR GOOD FRIEND
JAVIER.
TODAY WAS TOUGH, RIGHT?

Franc and Sol say YEAH.

Karim says THAT WAS YOUR FIRST DAY OF
TRAINING AND I'M NOT GOING TO
LIE, IT'S GOING TO GET MUCH,
MUCH HARDER.
HOW ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT MATCH
DAY?
DO YOU RECKON YOU'RE GONNA BE
READY?

Reef says 100 percent.

Sol says MM-HM.

Reef says WE'LL BEAT THEM.

Karim says DID YOU NOT SEE US IN
TRAINING?!
(ALL LAUGHING)

Karim says WHY ARE YOU LYING TO YOURSELF?
MIND IF I STAY OUT HERE
TONIGHT, BOYS?
I AM SHATTERED.
IT'S GONNA BE A TOUGH DAY
TOMORROW.

He tosses and turns in his hammock and says THAT'S UNCOMFORTABLE.
HOLD ON.
(GROANING)
THERE WE GO.
AH, MAYBE NOT.
GONNA GO BACK TO THE HOTEL.
ANYWAY.
(LAUGHING)

Camille says NEXT TIME ON
A WEEK
TO BEAT THE WORLD,
COACH JAVIER
TAKES TRAINING UP A LEVEL INTO
THE MOUNTAINS.

Karim says COME ON, REEFUS!

Camille says IT'S GETTING TOUGH AND THE
BOYS ARE FEELING ROUGH.

Reef gets a hit on his stomach and says PITZ IS VERY HARDCORE.

The boys bang piñatas hard with sticks.

Karim says WHOA!

Camille says BUT THEY REVEAL THEIR SOFTER
SIDES TO SOME PIÑATAS.

Karim says YES, BOYS!

Music plays as the end credits roll.
