The kids get in the short bus. They drive up a mountain, then they have to hike the rest of the way. It's really high up when they get to the top and Sophia floats that she could see all of Spain; Blair says, "That's hard-core extreme." No, Blair. That's hard-core andaluciaextrem. C'mon, you gotta help B/M pay the bills, yo.
They meet Crazy-Looking Spaniard guide; he says that they just have to rappel, and he tells them not to get hysterical but that it's higher than their training and here, I'm not sure why they had to climb the fucking mountain in the first place the day before when they're just going down, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that Jisela can't climb and so they didn't want to totally have a shit mission and so they just cut it to going down -- something that Ellen is very good at. Steve -- hi, Steve! -- floats that they have to rappel three hundred feet down and something about the "burden" being on themselves. Then Jisela goes floaty, crabbing that she's scared, but that she's going to do it.
Crazy-Looking Spaniard says that Sophia and Blair are going first, and they get ready as Jisela asks Ellen whether this is "Empire State Building high." Yes, Jisela. The Empire State Building is three hundred feet tall.
Now Jisela is near the edge talking to Sophia: "If I just get it over with, I'll be straight." I don't think that tactic will work for Sophia. Jisela's teeth are chattering with fright and the wind kicks up and it gets dark as Blair tells us this, and he thinks that maybe they shouldn't go right now. There is rain on the lens and they have a fire going as Jisela tells us that she wonders if this is a sign. CLS asks the kids whether they're ready; they're just going over the edge when CLS decides they're not going to go -- that it's too windy and dangerous. Blair doesn't want to fail, but the only thing he's failing is to grasp what's going on -- that they'll just do the fucking thing tomorrow when there is less chance of someone dying and B/M getting stuck with a lawsuit that could totally mess up B's trip to Europe this fall. Stupid. CLS says he wants them safe while Jisela floats that she wants to go -- she doesn't want to have a day to let the fear take root. ExposEllen explains that they'll make up this last part of the "race" the next day. Over a shot of their fire, she says she hopes they still have the "fire" in them to do it tomorrow. B/M Crack Editing Staff: nice.
