Original subtitles

Race Across the World has arrived at perhaps the most beautiful

and most interesting stage of all.

The teams have to cross the continent from the west, the

outermost west of Argentina, to the coast of turbulent Brazil.

And maybe through the mysterious Paraguay.

It all depends on the choices that are made.

And in this phase of the journey it is about making

the right choice exactly what it is about.

Being faster than the others has never been so important.

Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir.

A truck.

Not very attractive, is it?

Not yet.

Not yet, no.

No.

What?

Those are the commanders.

Ladies.

Yes, look at them.

Can I join you?

No.

No?

No.

No, I'm not going.

Well, yes.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,

tick, tick, tick, tick.

Last time you could see how I warned the remaining four

teams of the increasingly expensive bus tickets.

And it's all getting much more difficult, believe me.

That message was mainly aimed at the team with the least

money, of which Father Bastiaan does not have the low budget

thoughts behind the journey.

I thought it would be a lot of fun.

With team commander, it finally fell short.

Maybe enjoying that is more important than the will to win.

In this once-in-a-lifetime race.

Cheers, honey.

Cheers.

Well, beautiful, isn't it?

With team knowledge, Hugo is fortunately completely better again.

But unfortunately, their trip through Bolivia was delayed by bad luck.

It's really dramatic, because people don't have reception on their phones.

So we can't call anyone and say, hey, we're standing still.

But the biggest surprise came from team Howard and Dre.

Who not only excel themselves in terms of humor.

All good?

Very good.

But who also, after four stages as third, suddenly climbed to

second place.

We're second!

The battle on the way to the most southern South is

getting more and more exciting.

The order of arrival in Salta, Argentina, is also the order

in which the teams can choose the new items.

But now the final battle begins to come into view.

Does that choice actually turn around the route again?

What?

It's just the whole continent.

Yes, we're just going coast to coast.

As usual, the four teams can choose from five items scattered

along two route options.

On the way to the new checkpoint, Florianopolis, on the coast

of Brazil.

But if you choose to go on the red route, this

time you also choose a slower route.

Because the extra border crossing at Paraguay will probably delay it.

We end the day in the port of Porto Alegre on

a beautiful sailing boat.

Enjoy the water of wine, snacks and each other.

With the setting, the setting, the Brazilian sun.

That's what we're going to do.

The Iguazu waterfall.

It's really ridiculously beautiful, that waterfall.

We're going to do this.

We're going to do this.

Play outside in the jungle.

Great, we like to do that.

The challenge, up-sailing.

Have you ever done that?

Me too, I learned it at school.

Oh my God, look!

The choice has been made.

I want to wear this suit and you too.

I think it's so cool.

Oh, I said I had to whisper.

I'm going to play now.

We're going to play outside in the jungle.

Yes.

You have crossed the border.

This is easier to plan.

Yes, but we're going for it, right?

Yes.

Bas and Sam are the leaders on their way to the

end of the world in Ushuaia.

They may leave for Florianopolis first.

But the rest of the race doesn't look rosy.

With just over 30% of the budget in hand, it's

time for drastic measures.

Gracias, senor.

Hasta luego.

Stand in front of the point where all those people stop.

At 40 maximum.

Just a little further.

Sam is in front of it.

He has a sign that says Stop.

Father and son.

Holland.

That's not quite right, but they seem to understand.

Make a world tour.

And then I'll be 20 meters away.

On with Dirección Resistencia.

We'll see.

Standing with a sign is not necessarily my new favorite.

I think it's annoying.

I don't like you.

I would like to take the burden on my own.

Take care of things yourself.

Not depend on some yo-yo and a Renault Clio.

That may take me with it.

What's wrong with a Renault Clio?

I don't know.

I just like to say it.

Sam is already lifting.

Who would have thought?

I never thought in my life that I would ever do

this.

Sam!

Yes!

A little higher.

Yes, but this is very windy.

And that sign still receives a lot of wind.

If this works, guys.

Yes, we save money, but that's so much fun.

I like lifting.

I like to sit in the car with a stranger.

So I like it.

And I don't find it annoying at all.

Will you please take me with you?

No, no.

Yes!

No.

Udan, please.

Udan.

Udan, please.

Stop.

Sam!

Hola.

I'm going to take two people.

Okay.

Buenos dias.

Bien.

Muy bien.

Well, here we are, Sam.

The first 40 kilometers.

Well, the first 40 kilometers are free again.

Nice.

And we had it within 15 to 20 minutes.

More than 15 minutes.

That's fast, isn't it?

This is fun, guys.

Thank you very much.

Come on, guys.

Still a bit unused with their second starting position, team Komproe

leaves from Salta.

With a delay of almost an hour on Bas and Sam.

Before that, no hassle with elevators, but a taxi ride to

the bus station.

Where tour guide Dre scores tickets for the night bus.

With discount, of course.

Thanks to Dre's handy talk, this team has the most budget.

20% discount.

So from 10,000 we go to 8,000.

And then we can go there right away.

Because then we are early.

And then we can transfer right away.

With a bit of a hassle we go through to Asuncion.

Olga and Frank are puzzling on the route to Brazil.

Their forced detour through Paraguay is now quite wrong.

Because the always so sacred plan now suddenly looks very unfavorable.

That border crossing will not be such a problem.

Because this is easy to do.

We arrive here in the morning, cross the border.

Our item goes in.

And then it is necessary to reach the next border.

Exactly that goes in at half past ten.

That's just boring.

They must not do this very quickly.

So they have to use a taxi.

Yes.

That is our heart.

To do the adventurous race or adventurous side here.

So we cut ourselves in the fingers.

If we look at the route, other teams have less trouble

crossing the border.

And they can pull through at once.

The tactic is to get to the destination as soon as

possible.

That is of course not so strange, because everyone tries that.

At that moment, Bas and Sam's daring plan also fails.

To score a fast and cheap ride.

Clear, Udan, Astelief.

It is now ten past two.

We did two hours over 40 kilometers.

Not very effective, is it?

Not yet.

Not yet, no.

No, but if you suddenly have a monster lift.

Yes.

Then you're done.

Then there was a bit of doubt.

Yes, what happens if we are another few hundred kilometers away

in five hours?

We are in the middle of nowhere and we cannot get

the night bus.

I think it's a boring idea.

But I think we should go to Guemes.

And there we have to take a bus that goes 24

hours straight to the border.

If there are no cities in between.

Yes.

Then we are halfway fucked anyway.

But especially that we do not travel at night.

And of course we did that in two stages.

And that's why we were the first in two stages.

I think so.

So.

Yes.

Come on.

We're going to see where the bus station is.

Less adventurous, but sensible.

Agree?

Sure.

Okay.

Despite the delay of more than three hours, Hugo and Eva

went on the road super happily.

They are looking forward to Brazil.

Free ride, girl.

It starts very well again, this stage.

This suits us.

Yes, really.

We roll out of the hotel.

We roll into the station.

First we turn on the car and we roll into the

station.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

All right, my princess.

Thank you very much.

Since the teams have found out that bus tickets can be

negotiated, taking things off at the counter has become a kind

of sport.

With which you can be saved seriously.

If it works.

Yes.

Please, please.

Please.

Please, sir.

No, sorry.

It's the worst I can do.

It shouldn't work either.

41, 42.

Wow, this is huge.

A lot of money.

It's really the most we've ever spent here.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

If this is a bit average for the price of Argentina,

it can sometimes make your whole pot empty.

Yes, it's dangerous.

It's really intense.

Bas and Sam are then quickly losing their lead and hope

for a cheap ride.

Because once you arrive at the small bus station, the choice

is minimal and the price is maximum.

It's really, really expensive.

It was just 80 euros or something.

Oh, this is per ticket.

Yes, we don't really have a choice, do we?

Another option is to go back to Salta.

Yes.

That's a big bus station.

Yes.

And then look for a bus there.

Then you have more options.

Yes, it feels a bit illogical, but let's go back to

Salta, the place we just took the lift from.

Let's go there.

It's a much bigger bus station.

So the chance is much greater that there are many other

bus companies there.

The competition is higher, so the price is lower.

Here we have one option.

And in the past, we sometimes got a 20 or 30

% discount.

Yes.

Shall we do that?

Sounds like a very good plan.

And so team Raga changes plan again.

And to save the extra costs of the return trip, they

first try to score a light.

Please, please, please.

You have to put your sign out, Sam.

Yes, but that doesn't matter.

Put your sign out for a moment.

We didn't do that for nothing.

No, I thought you weren't done yet.

Don't yell at me like that, I don't feel like it.

Not at all.

There is no problem yet, but governing is foresight.

So we have to be wise with our very limited gambling

budget.

That's what I call it.

What are we going to do?

I think that's a taxi.

Ask him what he wants.

500 a man.

Check.

Well, okay.

Top deal, so 1000 pesos.

So, that makes a difference.

What is warm.

At the bus station of Salta, the three other teams are

waiting patiently for the departure of the night bus.

Hugo and Eva are still in the glory.

That cannot be said of Olga and Frank.

Look who's there.

Look who's there.

Dad and mom.

Hola chico, hola chica.

How are you doing?

Is he going?

Yes, shit.

Why?

Well.

What?

We don't have to talk about it like that.

I'm already thinking about it now.

Maybe it's okay.

I think it's so funny.

You all give each other and you just want to win.

And then one is bad luck and the other is happiness

or something.

And then I see Frank so angry and Olga and I

think I really like that.

But we had the choice to do it differently.

So then it was just a stupid choice.

Maybe, right?

But this is a roll tent, right?

This is really a roll tent.

We'll see.

It will be fine.

It increases our chances that we finally fight the alder with

Olga and Frank in the end.

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

Throw a bunch of money at it and wobble.

That's the way it is.

Bye.

Bye.

Throw a bunch of money at it, I said.

Girl.

There is nothing better to start with.

At the end of a long day, team Ragas is back

at Af and they arrive again in Salta.

But unfortunately for both gentlemen it is still not done.

With the opposite.

2000.

2000?

He says it's 2000.

We had a discussion about the price and that man just

wanted to make fun of us.

Why?

Because four come in the car.

Four passengers come in the car.

We work with four passengers.

He says there are four in it.

So I'm counting for four people anyway.

And for us.

Yes, that's the problem, isn't it?

He was with his laughing face.

And then you can go all out for 500 zlotys.

That's two dollars with a bag of champagne.

That's possible.

But that's not very charming.

I don't get it, but we don't get it from each

other.

It's that I want to stay civilized on television.

And that 500.

500?

He's there.

Yes.

Jim.

Yes, whatever.

Asshole.

In a moment, three teams pull up at the same time.

Where is the party?

I'm not part of it.

Team commander puts a secret weapon in the elevator.

Scouts always help each other.

Yes.

And Albert and Dre go to work in a Paraguayan nursing

home.

Then a mouth opens and you put the food in it

carefully.

And it's so incredibly intense.

A moment between two people.

Goodbye.

Welcome back to Race Across the World.

In which four teams are on their way from Salta in

Argentina to Florianopolis in Brazil.

After a long failed day, team Ragas is back at AF.

And on the way to the station of Salta.

Where the other teams are also waiting for a bus in

the direction of the east.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Nice.

Oh God.

Oh God.

No, stop it.

Speaking about the devil.

We had done our best in the previous stage for a

huge lead.

That lead was gone.

We turned it around in reverse.

Do your magic.

Okay.

It's really a day.

No, I can't laugh about it now.

I'm a bit grumpy.

Actually, everything we try is a bit ...

It doesn't work.

Sometimes everything goes very smoothly.

Sometimes it doesn't work.

And today it doesn't work.

I need a lighter or a cold beer, maybe.

But yes, that's not allowed again, from the budget.

This is all the same.

Namely, La Veloz del Norte.

That means all those same things.

Yes.

I've just been there.

And Flecha Bus goes to Corrientes.

Yes.

This is the same bus that arrives via Güemes and then

continues.

So it's more expensive here than in Güemes.

Are you kidding me?

No.

It costs 10,560 per ticket here.

And the discount?

That's the discount already.

We've been working for hours.

And we've spent our money on nothing.

Those tickets are expensive.

Almost 70 euros, I think.

That's a lot of money.

That's a shame.

This day is a shame.

That money is a shame.

But it only looks sad when we go to the last

50 dollars.

Then it looks sadder.

Oh, what a pack of money disappears in the bar.

Certainly.

Two, three, four.

After a few hours of hanging, three teams gather for a

joint ride in a bus that takes them to the border.

So we're going to the bus.

Because we're in a row.

Because it turns out we're all in the same bus.

Everyone in the same bus.

Okay.

Well, we'll have to do this again for a while.

Oh shit, the hatches are already closing.

Oh man.

Hello.

Sorry.

Did you just see what I saw?

Yes.

Running people.

Amateurs.

Who's going to run for the bus?

I don't understand that, man.

I just saw them running really fast.

Struggling on their own feet.

That's how it is.

Are they really ...

Hey, the commanders.

Hey, the commanders.

I'm the only commander here.

Yes, but that's a love name.

Look there.

Hey, the bus.

We like to party.

We like to party.

We like to party.

Where is the party?

Where is the party?

It looked like a school trip.

Where is the party?

It was a completely crazy house.

Chaos.

Yes, man.

Yes, that's it.

La la la la la la la.

I can't stand her.

What a shit trip, but this is lovely.

We don't belong here.

At the moment it is still a bit noisy.

For me it can be a bit quieter.

If they make it too loud, we'll let them get out

of the bus.

So we were in the bus with three teams.

Except for the weirdos, who were too late.

But how is it possible that the weirdos were allowed to

go out first.

But missed the bus.

Oh yes, team weirdos.

From couple hoppers to stay behind.

Because the tickets they have authorized are for a bus that

does not leave for the time being.

This sign, this thorn in my eye.

Because of this sign we are 6-7 hours later.

A few thousand pesos poorer.

And the laughingstock of every other team.

Because of this sign I can tear it down very carefully,

but with a lot of fun.

Yes, do it.

Voila.

One, two, three.

Here boy.

Your life sign.

So, tidied up neatly.

The next morning the noisy school trip arrives in the border

town of Resistencia.

Where the roads are going to separate.

What?

No, don't do that.

My bag is gone.

No, seriously?

Yes.

What the fuck?

Crazy Malaccas, what is this?

Was that a joke with me?

No.

Oh, was that a joke with you?

Yes.

Oh, that's terrible.

Shit, is this a completely empty hut?

This one too.

Just a little too hard.

I'm sorry.

For Olga and Frank this is the beginning of the so

feared detour.

Which unfortunately for them also goes badly from the start.

To the border?

I'm going to leave.

I don't have a car.

Not now.

Not now.

Okay.

No bus?

No.

Well, let's take a taxi.

And the collectivo?

That's a collectivo.

Oh.

We're not there yet.

We're going to look outside.

Let's see.

Still, it seems that Frank is wrong.

Because Howard and Dre manage to find a connecting bus to

the border with Paraguay.

In 15 minutes?

Yes, perfect.

In 15 minutes.

How much is it?

I'm going to look for food.

I smell fresh bread.

We smell fresh bread, but we don't see it.

That's a bit weird.

And we don't have much time.

Because it is now 16 past six.

And our bus leaves at half past six.

To the next place.

Keep going.

Hello.

To Clorinda?

To Clorinda?

45,000 pesos.

40,000 pesos.

40 euros.

No, more.

10.

So 80 euros.

80 dollars.

Let's wait.

This is not part of the plan.

That we could go on with a collectivo or a bus.

We had hoped and calculated for that.

But that doesn't work.

I'm standing by a baker and I smell everything.

But I can't buy anything.

That lady is doing all kinds of delicious fresh things in

the oven.

Lady, have mercy.

We are two poor poor people from Holland.

We are hungry.

Help us, lady.

Help us.

Do something good for the people.

Lady, my lady.

My lady.

My lady.

What time is it?

At seven.

At seven.

Thank you.

Well, that was another old-fashioned Argentine joke.

At seven o'clock.

I don't know if we're going to make it.

To save exorbitant taxi costs, Olga and Frank decide to be

transported to the city border.

From where they are also going to try to hitchhike.

But this team has a secret weapon.

A green handkerchief.

Take a secret weapon with you.

I'm still a member of the scouting.

And this is the coat of arms of our group.

And Olga has one too.

Scouts always help each other.

So that's the idea.

So go to the point.

We're going for it.

We have no time to lose.

No.

Let's see.

There at that bus stop.

You can stand there nicely.

Concerned about the expensive bus tickets, Team Knowledge Decided to take

a gamble.

Because the team that has the most money in the next

stages has a greater chance of reaching Chihuahua without any problems.

We are even more focused on our money.

Money becomes the treasure, becomes the key, becomes the ticket to

Ushuaia.

No, he was looking.

Do you know what it is?

We can run past hundreds, but you really only need one.

Yes, that's true.

They're waving.

Then I'm in.

Hauwert finally has a bite at the baker.

Escorts quickly his emergency kit, to then jump into the bus,

which Olga and Frank did not notice.

Hauwert, bus.

Yes, I'm here with the ...

Thank you.

I'm in a hurry too.

On the side, sorry.

Watch out.

Move.

I have a bag full of small crispy buns with cheese.

The green handkerchief of Olga and Frank has not yet delivered

the desired result.

In fact, the two are unfortunately on the verge of getting

the lid on their noses.

We'll give you another 10 minutes.

If it doesn't work, we'll try to get a taxi.

It only costs money.

Otherwise, the whole plan will be ruined.

But would they recognize our scouting vests?

They recognize us.

We are the prominent two along the road.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't work.

Here, Clorinda on the bus.

What?

Those are the commanders.

Yes, Frank in the eyes, look at them.

Hauwert is driving.

Really?

He stops, he stops.

He stops.

I'm going.

Can we wait?

No?

No?

So, it doesn't work.

Well, yes, say.

Look, look, look, look, look.

Ah, that sucks.

Shit, there was a bus.

Yes.

Let's take a taxi.

Taxi?

Yes.

Taxi is coming.

La frontera?

Yes.

Okay.

Vamos.

A frontera.

Yes, half past eleven.

I had hoped to be on the road at least half

an hour ago.

I guess it's still 1.5 hours to the border.

Then we'll be at the border at 12.

Yes, then it will be ...

How long do we take to get to the other side?

It will be an exciting plan.

It will be a challenge.

Are there more buses going now?

You only checked one bus, right?

Shall we go back for a moment?

Yes.

Are we going to check more buses and drink an orange?

Because I'm a little hungry.

Well done.

Good first attempt.

We have tried that lift.

It's a risk, man.

You will only be there at 3 o'clock and that

does not work.

Then there is also no ticket for the bus.

Then you are really waiting a long time.

That whole lift seems to be a very un-Argentine intention.

Because Hugo and Eva are also at the counter in no

time.

For an expensive bus ticket.

These trips are all choices based on money.

On greed, actually.

Greed.

Olga and Frank immediately lose hope of a good ending.

Everything I had in mind was completely in the water.

So we'll get out of it.

Do Bas and Sam have bad luck again?

What are you doing with this, boy?

I was so excited about that jam.

And are Howard and Dre overwhelmed by a very special feeling.

I don't feel comfortable.

See you at Race Across the World.

Welcome back to Race Across the World.

Where 4 teams are on their way to the end of

the world in Ushuaia.

In other words, the southernmost point of Argentina.

Howard and Dre arrived in Paraguay first.

In contrast, Olga and Frank are not in a hurry.

They even made time for a very special job in Atención.

We have a very special job in the capital of Paraguay.

We're going to work in a nursing home.

Because we love working with people.

So, Howard.

Yes, Dre.

It's pretty absurd when you think about what we're doing.

Yes.

And what people are doing who are sitting here.

Do you know that the most technologically advanced thing you can

imagine?

Yes, that's true.

That in two months, all the countries of Central and South

America are going crazy.

And the people who are sitting here.

They're sitting here.

They're just sitting here.

They're sitting here.

They were probably sitting there when we were in El Salvador.

When we were in Honduras, they were sitting there.

And when we get home later, they're still there.

In the beginning, we had to do the obvious things.

Such as cleaning a swimming pool and making the garden beautiful.

But slowly we moved in.

And at some point we just had conversations with the residents.

And that was very beautiful, but also very intense.

May I sit down?

Yes.

May I sit down?

Thank you.

And the people were sometimes not 100% anymore.

Remained stuck in repeating the same sentence.

There were two ladies who spoke English.

And they didn't know that at all.

Until they both lived there.

Yes, those were very beautiful moments.

At some point I went to help in the kitchen.

And while I was busy in the kitchen.

Do you have a very special experience upstairs?

Yes, because at some point we were both working in the

kitchen.

And one lady says, help me with the cart.

And the cart goes to an elevator.

The elevator goes up.

And upstairs is another department.

Upstairs is the department of people who can no longer take

care of themselves.

Of which the majority no longer knows exactly who they are.

Or what they are.

Where they are.

Where they are.

And people are being fed.

And I don't really know why.

But at some point I start feeding a lady.

Or helping, eating.

She is blind.

And very old.

And very bruised and tear.

And in some way there must be a spoon with the

food.

That mouth.

And that is such an intense ...

Yes, Sanne.

Intimate too.

It is so intimate.

Because you have to penetrate someone.

To that soul.

And let them know that there is apparently food for that

mouth.

And then a mouth opens.

And then you carefully put that food in it.

And that is so incredibly intense.

A moment between two people.

I thought that was very ...

I saw it when you came back.

I was a bit of the card.

I had to process that.

But I'm glad we did that.

We did it.

Yes, right?

We did it.

Team Ragas has been able to walk into the lag on

team knowledge.

And so the two teams reported at the same time at

the bus station for tickets.

On the way to Porto Alegre in Brazil.

But of course the question is which team knows the highest

discount.

Is it expensive?

That's really not normal.

It's about 55 dollars per ticket.

Oioioi.

And?

Expensive?

Yes, but then?

55 dollars per ticket.

Yes, well, it is what it is.

It is what it is.

Let's go.

Okay.

Uh ...

All right.

That was 60.

Yes.

259 times 2 ...

is 250.

This is just very expensive.

This is very expensive.

What is it here?

Do we have nice stuffed bread?

Do we have jam?

Yes, it's really the party.

Huh?

Yes.

We're going to have a nice meal.

With stuffed bread and jam.

That was exactly 0% discount for the ragas.

And then the question is whether Hugo and Eva can handle

it better.

You have to see it like this.

We have the bus.

We have a place.

We arrive tomorrow morning, where we want to be.

Tomorrow afternoon you are on a boat in the port of

Brazil.

How fun is that?

You can't do this.

What are you doing, boy?

Yes, I thought the games were much thinner.

Yes, everything will be fine.

Plotch.

No.

Yes, but that's not fun.

I really don't like that.

Yes, I can't do anything about it now.

Yes, what do you see?

Stupid laughing.

Droll hacked.

What are you doing, man?

Student.

Yes.

Yes.

From Holland.

From Holland.

From Holland.

A student from Holland.

Yes.

Student of music.

For music.

I shouldn't laugh at it.

But I like it.

I like it too.

That's more than I asked for.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Perfect.

That's more than I asked for.

You just want to go like this?

Yes, just like that.

Out of the hole.

I'm not going to throw it, because then you won't catch

it.

Stay your child, right?

Jesus, I was so excited about that jam.

Shit.

What do you have hanging on your neck?

I don't know, nothing.

Unbelievable.

Now he has it again.

Hugo was negotiating.

She said, are you students?

We said yes.

I gave my driving license and my health certificate.

If anyone asks, we study music.

We're going to get some food.

Look, estudiante.

It also says on the thing.

We are students.

I don't even dare to ask how many discounts they got.

But I think 20%.

So I think they got a 20 dollar discount.

15 euros discount.

15 dollars was the bus here.

We have that for free now.

Then we have to work 2 hours tomorrow.

What does it look like, saving money?

Well, eating dry bread.

Literally.

Water and dry bread.

We're sitting on water and bread.

I do fall off.

I have a terrible body.

Free meals also taste better.

Olga and Frank have the next day to force the border

with Paraguay.

But the big goal is to get to the border with

Brazil in one fell swoop.

Because that would make the detour to a small island a

bit more manageable.

We just crossed the border.

And now it turns out to be 1.5 hours to

the center of Assision.

So we're not going to make it to the next border

on time.

So everything I had estimated, it's all in the water.

So we're out.

Bus?

Bus, yes.

Half an hour.

Okay, in half an hour.

And then it's another 1.5 hours to the city.

We're going to get there, but at least 16.5 hours

later.

So the rest will be gone soon and then we'll get

there.

We just made the wrong choice.

And we didn't realize that the border was already closing so

quickly.

Yes, stupid, stupid, stupid.

I also see the disappointment in Frank.

And he has the whole plan in his head.

And the resignation.

And then I think, yes, guys, it's not going to work.

And then there's a vague hope for a third record.

It is clear that Olga and Frank expect that a team

will be forced to leave at this stage.

Because only three teams are allowed to go to the eighth

stage.

But that fear is at least predictable.

Yes, we didn't make it easy for ourselves.

We went for the challenge instead of for the speed.

Team Komproe is about to leave Paraguay and go to Brazil.

They will visit the world-famous Iguazu Falls.

Finally we crossed the border.

And we are in Brazil.

Fantastic.

I'm back in Brazil.

Damn, I haven't been here in a long time, man.

The Iguazu Falls, the most famous waterfalls in the world.

Nice, man.

Just a wall of water.

Different waterfalls, small waterfalls, big waterfalls.

It's incredible.

There's even water falling up.

I saw water falling up.

Antipiristaltic.

I've never seen water fall up in my life.

And the experience goes on.

There are all kinds of beautiful views.

Oh, boy.

Damn, this is sick.

Look at this.

Nature violence everywhere.

Wow.

The weather.

The coming days.

30 degrees.

Summer.

And no rain.

Congratulations.

Like in all previous stages, each team gets as much time

to experience a free outing.

As a mandatory stop on the route to the checkpoint.

But unfortunately for Olga and Frank, their chosen outing is a

bit disappointing.

While it did provide them with a detour.

They think, well, now it's going to happen.

Yes, then you come to the first bridge.

And then you think, okay, funny.

It's more of a Mickey Mouse path that we have to

walk.

Yes, here it comes.

Yes.

Okay.

What do you think of the zip line later?

Yes.

When I see this, little ladders and a small line.

I think it will also be a small zip line.

I think so too.

Isn't that very, very exciting?

No.

Here is the zip line.

Yes, indeed.

Yes.

A zip line.

A line, yes.

We got the equipment as if we were going to climb

the north side of Matterhorn.

But yes, we actually ended up in a neat eco park

with wet horses and stairs.

Here we go.

I have to keep flying, because we're already on the other

side.

Yes, here we are.

Hoi.

Oops.

Yes, if you are put here like this, then you think,

I walk in the hermelo, in the climbing forest.

Yes, in the bear forest, right?

Yes, adventure in the jungle, then you expect something.

I think, yes, this is a zip line of 300 meters

and abseiling of at least 50 meters.

Yes, this was 8 meters, I think.

Yes.

If we had known this in advance, then we would have

made a completely different choice.

This is really a bit of a shame.

A bit of lost time.

In the meantime, Bastiaan Raghals is fully enjoying himself during the

sunset sailing to the coast of Brazil.

And while he enjoys it, his emotions rise again.

This is really the best pick ever.

Yes, this is really the best pick.

But this is also a big pick that suits us.

Cheers, man.

Really, I think this is fantastic.

The sail is very loose.

You just go with the wind.

I really like it.

I really like it.

Hey!

Hoi, hoi, hoi.

You can't make me happy.

On a boat, in the wind, with a little sun.

With my son.

And a cheese and a beer.

Yes.

Very simple, perhaps.

But I'm very happy.

I think how you made this trip with me so far

is really special.

I really notice.

That's a nice compliment.

I would like to make that compliment.

And I also give you that compliment.

But it is sometimes quite confusing for me as a father.

To realize that your children sometimes already catch you left or

right.

On this trip, you were sometimes six steps ahead.

Because you speak the language.

And you had to take steps that I actually wanted to

take for you.

But you already took them.

And then I left you that space there.

Because it couldn't be otherwise.

And you filled it up really fantastically.

Really.

Very...

Very cool.

I love you.

I love you, I love you.

It's a beautiful trip.

In the past two months, I got to know Sam on

a number of levels.

Like I hadn't seen him yet.

And that's very special.

For Eva, it's great that she can experience a dream that

comes true together with Hugo.

For a moment, she may feel like the queen of Brazilian

Carnaval.

Oh, I have to get a suit.

That's really my samba dream.

I'm wearing a jacket.

Okay.

One moment for me.

Okay.

I love it.

Okay then.

I'm really happy.

Look what I'm wearing.

Look what Hugo is wearing.

We're all Brazilian.

Look at my hat.

I'm all Brazilian.

Really, I'm living my whole samba dream.

In this suit, with you, in Brazil.

It's really...

This never happens to me again.

No.

It's completely crazy.

The funny thing is, you can't stop dancing as long as

the samba sounds.

You have to keep going.

You're really driven by that rhythm.

I think that's really nice.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Yes, Hugo.

It's going great.

Like this.

Like this.

Okay.

Isn't it all sexy?

Yes, it is.

Have you seen the butt of that woman?

No, I haven't seen the butt of that woman.

Have you seen my butt?

Sure.

I haven't seen the butt of that man either.

Yes.

Woehoe!

Holy shit.

This is...

I'm broken.

Olga and Frank have crossed the border with Brazil.

And are preparing for an end sprint to Florianopolis.

But the choice of a bus is overwhelming.

So finding the lowest price did not happen in one, two,

three.

Hello.

Good afternoon.

Florianopolis?

Today?

Yes.

Bus number 40?

Yes.

It's arriving?

It's arriving at 9 o'clock.

Tomorrow...

At 9 o'clock in the morning?

Yes.

It says Florianopolis.

Hello.

Florianopolis?

It's arriving?

It's arriving at 8 o'clock in the morning.

7.30, 8 o'clock in the morning.

Here you have a few more.

Big ones.

9.15, 9.15. 9.15. Hello.

Hello.

Florianopolis?

It's arriving at 7.45. 7.45. It's arriving at 8

o'clock.

8 o'clock.

8.40. That one comes an hour earlier.

Yes, we're going to do that.

This is where we asked for it.

And then it was this one.

That's Kama.

In the taxi I still had hope that if we had

a direct connection that we might be able to arrive today.

But it just turns out to be too far.

And with a bus that has to stop in various places

it's just not going to work.

What could have been done is of course a taxi.

But 600 kilometers by taxi.

Because we're running out of taquesta.

And we probably still need some money for the last part.

So that's not an option.

In a moment, Komproe and Commander land together in the bus.

It's getting cozy in the bus.

Oh my God.

Bastiaan Ragas goes crazy about the followers of Bolsonaro.

You have them all over the world.

People who do not recognize that democracy works.

Then they get angry.

Then we're going to close the roads.

And the stage ends in chaos with only two teams who

know how to reach the finish.

Oh, I think I see the sign.

The sign is there.

Great.

The race continues.

See you later.

Welcome back to Race Across the World.

Where four teams are on their way from Salta in Argentina

to Florianopolis in Brazil.

Bas and Sam are in a great mood.

They have a job behind their backs and take the night

bus to the finish.

Nice and cheap.

The two really think they're above all obstacles.

The last bus of the stage.

That's how it is in the forest.

We fight for every kilometer.

Bloody vanity.

We do our best and it's still fun.

Well, I think we're in the game.

Tomorrow we're going to flame again.

On to the checkpoint.

Five more hours.

Let's go.

Good night.

Sleep well, boy.

Sleep well.

There is not much choice in the route from Paraguay to

Florianopolis.

As a result, team Compru and team Commander end up at

the same bus station again.

On the way to the end of the stage.

So for Olga and Frank, everything but lost.

If all goes well, we'll take this bus to the checkpoint.

Florianopolis.

This is our last bus of this leg.

But not the last bus of this race.

That's a nice combination.

And down.

It's getting cozy in that bus again.

Oh my God.

Where is our bus?

I don't know.

Well, that's going to be exciting.

There was also a bus leaving earlier, but it arrived later.

You know?

It went away from everything.

If they know where we are, we can check the arrival.

It doesn't matter.

We'll see.

Yes.

We'll see.

We're participating in a race.

And we're all going in the same direction.

So it's not strange at all that we meet our big

friends again, the commanders.

Yes, cozy.

This is going to be exciting.

In any case, we know that they are also here.

We both have equal chances.

And then the third place is the best possible.

So yes, that's what we're going for.

And then hope, because we have done a lot of research

to get the fastest bus, that they are still in that

other bus.

The competition is one level higher.

I think it's nice to be able to discuss your own

tactics here.

If you want to talk to someone about how or what.

We're going to have a race.

Only the drivers who are going to drive us.

I almost think Russian sounds.

There is nothing at all.

There is nothing at all, right?

That will be a thing later if we have to ask

the way.

Hands and feet.

Hands and feet.

I'm already sleeping.

It doesn't matter what time it is.

We're going to Florianopolis.

Florianopolis.

Florianopolis.

One thing is tricky.

It turns out that we are going there in the middle

of the election chaos.

But that they shouldn't press the pret.

No, don't have to.

Don't have to press.

But unfortunately that happens when the teams get stuck in a

state of emergency that no one had seen coming.

It is election day in Brazil.

The capital and province where Florianopolis is located is the home

port of many Bolsonaro supporters who are on the verge of

losing their presidency.

The blockades hit three teams.

Where team Raghas is in front of a road blockade.

And the bus of team Compru and team Commander in the

middle.

A huge traffic jam.

On a few hundred kilometers from the checkpoint.

A quarter past six local time.

Morning.

We're on our way to Florianopolis.

And we're not going any further.

Look.

Everything is quiet.

Everyone is quiet, right?

Yes.

A demonstration or something.

Or a strike.

A strike.

You can't see anything.

Just look outside.

We look outside.

Well, we thought we'd stand still for the toll gate.

But there seems to be something else going on.

Hey, man.

We've been here for elections.

It's totally bizarre.

I don't agree with the result.

Who the fuck are you?

You've been racing for weeks.

And now it's almost six o'clock in the morning.

We drove five quarters of our starting point of this ride.

From twelve o'clock.

From twelve o'clock.

So we drove five quarters at six o'clock.

And then we're stopped by a bunch of retarded morons.

With roadblocks.

Yes, you have them all over the world.

People who can't stand that democracy works.

And then they get angry.

And then they say, well, then we're going to close the

roads.

Because then you can't go through.

Yes, but I have nothing to do with it.

Yes, but I just don't agree with it.

No, okay.

No, it's full of people.

You have them all over the world.

Some storm the Capitol.

And the others close the highway.

Well, in the first instance you're busy with your arrival time

at the checkpoint.

But in the second instance you also look and think.

Yes, this can also just turn around.

Such an atmosphere.

Such a group of people who are very fired up to

want something.

And find something.

And they all stop cars.

With burning car tires.

That's just Link.

A little too much testosterone in the air.

It can also turn around.

Oh dear.

Demonstration?

Demonstration?

Elections?

It's all stopped.

Elections, protests.

Elections, protests.

Oh.

Oh my goodness.

These are emotional voices.

Emotional voices.

And it's even more emotional now.

Because it really goes between Lula and Bolsonaro.

That's really huge.

The country is cut in half.

And it's all upside down.

Because Bas and Sem are lucky enough to be in front

of a blockade.

They manage to get on a smaller bus.

That they can walk past the misery.

An offer that they attack with both hands.

Good morning.

You know exactly what's going on.

I'm still concerned that there will be a demonstration.

An election-related demonstration.

Against the election of the new president Lula.

Nobody knows how long it can take.

It can take a minute.

We don't know when we'll be able to continue.

And we don't know when Florianopolis will be within reach.

So it's a big setback.

The city of Florianopolis is an island off the coast.

And is connected by a bridge with the mainland.

There is nothing to notice about the tensions elsewhere in the

region.

Except that bus transport is free because of the elections.

The thing is moving away.

The checkpoint is located at the Zandbergen.

A sacred wall on the northeast side of the island.

I have a compass.

Joaquina beach.

Joaquina beach.

Team Ragas has arrived at the bridge.

And is thinking about taking a taxi to get to the

checkpoint as soon as possible.

But the tension is rising.

Also between Bas and Sam.

We have never looked for a taxi for so long.

You were really annoying.

Taxi.

Keep walking.

I'm going in.

It's a quick rest day for those guys.

I think it's unbelievable.

What kind of nonsense is this?

We did have a taxi.

Dad!

Where are you?

I can't find you anywhere.

Looking for a taxi can sometimes cause frustration.

But then we are just two grumbling idiots.

But it's no big deal.

We just keep going.

We just keep thinking clearly.

We don't get personal.

We just keep going.

Hugo and Eva think they know which way to go.

And so they take Hugo's compass that he has never used

before.

How does such a compass work?

I read it wrong.

That's how it points to the north.

We have to go that way.

Okay, perfect.

Well, that's going to be a bus ride, honey.

We just don't have the money to take a taxi now.

We have just enough money for one taxi.

I think it's a big risk to take a taxi now.

And if we're wrong, we'll be on the wrong beach without

money.

A bus is cheap, so we'll go first.

It's stupid that we don't have money.

We go first to the beach.

How much does a bus ticket cost?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Until Sunday?

Today is free traveling.

Perfect.

Bas and Sem are driven in the right direction by the

taxi driver.

It's just not clear where they should be yet.

Let me see.

Here it is.

Wait here, please.

One moment.

Yes, do you see it?

This is a mountain.

This is a mountain of sand.

We're looking for some kind of sacred wall.

Santino beach.

Other side?

The other side of the hill or this other side?

This is it.

It's somewhere here, but it's not here yet.

We have you.

You are our Google Maps.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

No problem.

Bas and Sem drive back and forth around the dune area

where the checkpoint sign is.

But to get there, they'll have to plow through the sand

for a while.

These are just dunes.

Come on, where we just walked was better.

So we're going over there.

This is not it.

Come on, Sem.

Yes.

This is not it.

I know.

Oh, that's cool.

I think we have to go to the other side of

the dunes.

So here at Santino Beach, a sacred...

Maybe this is the sacred wall.

Between the two seas.

I don't know how they interpret it, but I think it's

on the sacred side.

It has to be here somewhere.

I'm going to pay that man.

It has to be here.

Finally, we arrive at the beach for the second time.

I think, well, this is where it should be.

And then we just started walking.

A sacred wall.

Yes, I just said that.

This is on the other side.

Sem.

Yes.

It's halfway.

At every step, the courage sank into my shoes.

I think, no, this is...

We're just the last, I think.

Oh, I think I see the sign.

Where?

I see it.

Yes, there.

The sign is there.

I see it, yes.

Let's go together.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Hoppa.

It can be the whole samba.

Samba, samba.

Woehoe!

Beautiful.

If I let go, it falls.

We hang the sign.

We're second.

Nice.

All right, Lucas.

Thank you very much, Lucas.

Thank you so much.

You're in it to win it.

Oh!

Oh, man.

Hoppa.

Chaka.

Well, that had some feet in the ground.

At that moment, Team Komproe and Team Commander are still walled

up.

But much worse is that the situation is getting more and

more grim.

Hoppadee.

That's exactly why the race management intervenes...

and decides to evacuate the teams.

Do you know what he just told me?

That he estimated...

Yes.

The driver here.

He estimated that it would take four days...

before this mess is resolved and the buses can continue.

It's super double, isn't it?

This is the ultimate open force.

I mean, what do you want to do?

The roads are in the ditch.

You can't do much about it.

And Dre and I are the kind of people who surrender

to that.

You can get angry.

I want to, but I can't.

I'm done.

And so it can happen...

that the race across the country is followed by the air

for a very short time.

The uncertain situation in Brazil forces the teams...

to leave the country via the nearest airport...

and travel on to Uruguay.

We hope you'll forgive us.

But all for safety.

Next time on Race Across the World...

Bas and Sam are fully stressed again...

out of fear of arriving last.

I don't get it.

Shit.

Just like Hugo and Eva, who are being pushed out of

the bus.

It's like I've been kicked out of the bus.

Look, I have a sleeping bag in my hand.

And to the extent of a disaster, Frank is shivering.

Just before the finish.

Oh, on his new knees.

Oh, shit.

See you next time.
