Welcome to Lava Ka Dhaava, with me, Jaaved Jaaferi.
Come on, jump now!
A game show where if you fall into the lava…
-No! -Game over!
-Bye! -I'll jump.
-He who goes across scores a point. -You've done it!
The one with the most points
will win 10,000 dollars from Rutledge Wood.
Fail, and you'll earn nothing!
Do you understand?
Let's see how they perform in…
the Planetarium.
It looks like a space station
and you may see stars in the day.
There are many routes to the exit.
They make the journey more challenging.
This is meant for those who can balance well.
You may maneuver the planets to reach the Apollo Capsule.
There's another way to it.
You'll need to be Spiderman.
You may maneuver the constellation wall
to reach the computer console,
after which, pressing a button can help you.
This is one of the hidden resources that may surprise you
if you can find and activate them.
When you reach the capsule,
you may decide how to exit.
Walk on the moon rock and jump through it
or go through the Mars Telescope
to the rocket and exit.
Choose any of these routes, but be fast enough
as the exit stairs will sink after five minutes.
It might compromise the mission.
The Planetarium's first visitors are Jordan, Jerrold, and Lajuan.
They were roommates in college.
They live with their mothers after graduation.
He's my cousin.
He's my childhood friend.
I was a UCLA basketball player.
It provided me with a full scholarship until I graduated.
-We stayed together for three years. -Yes.
He's very good to be with.
-Come on! -Jerrold hates cleanliness.
-Really? -His room would be adorned with hair.
He's pretending here.
-You're being talkative. -I've said it.
Okay.
If we win the money, we'll stay together again.
-That's what the plan is. -Yes.
Jerrold and I are looking for an apartment.
We didn't tell you.
We'll rent it out to you if we win.
They will take off now.
I told you the earth was flat.
I was right.
So, dear friends.
All that you see can be used
to help you in the game.
You may choose the route you want.
All of you must endeavor to exit.
The team with the most members across will win.
Oh, and one final rule. Don't fall in because the floor is…
-Lava! -Lava!
What's this?
The lava is boiling and it has begun!
-Oh, yes! -Who will maneuver the wall?
-Someone needs to. -The one who spent the most on gyms.
-May I? -Okay.
-One of us. -Him!
You claim that you're as agile as a monkey.
He can do it.
-I don't know. -Take care up there.
-Let's go. You're on the wall? -Sure. I will.
Easy. I'll hold you.
-Are you scared? -No.
A little bit.
Don't fall. Don't be tense.
-Do it properly. -Hey! He's scared!
-Prove it. -You can do it.
-Come on. -Continue.
Don't lose your grip.
It's so slippery.
-Don't slip. -Take it easy.
-Mind your step.
Jordan has to control his upper and lower body
so as to maintain balance and reach the console.
-Go on. -Don't fall.
-Can you press it? -I will.
-Can you? -Do it.
Hail Jordan!
He has created a way to get to the capsule.
Take the rocket to the space rock and take a plunge to the capsule.
Don't take this path, you two.
You two must take another way.
He's preaching.
I'm not scaring you. I'm nervous.
What? No. That's too slippery.
-This way? -No.
-Okay. Take the right. -It's slippery.
Let me start.
Let me go from this sphere to the flat surface.
Lajuan wants to land on the flat Earth
through the planet Neptune.
-Take it easy. Stand straight. -Okay.
Tell me where to go.
Go to Earth.
I cannot jump.
-It's just seven feet. -May I?
Okay. I will.
I am.
I will.
-Here I go. -You can do it.
He did it.
He has done a great job.
He landed on Earth and then on this.
His partner would taunt him.
He did a good job.
There's a button up there.
Should I press it?
Attention, please! Lajuan has spotted the button.
-Does it move? -What?
-Does it move? -Jordan is right.
Don't trust any object in this room.
-How do I get there? -If Lajuan presses it,
they will have many more options.
I'll press it now.
This stone is closer. Let me take a plunge.
-Let me try. -He'll be our roommate if he can do it.
Jordan knows what motivates him.
-Swear on our mother. -Yes.
-You too! -Yes.
-Hail Mother! -All hail!
I'm coming!
-Bravo! -Wow!
That was quite a jump. His knees may be crushed.
It moves.
What?
Something to hold on to?
-I'll jump. -Do it.
What the leader says, we follow.
When did he become one?
He's motivated.
Climb atop it.
Lajuan has done it again!
This rocket has given them new options.
On the telescope, to the rocket,
and then take a jump to the exit.
Can he jump
from the Apollo Capsule to the space rock
and then to the exit?
I'm going there.
Take a plunge to the stone, Jerrold.
He should be able to do it.
He's a UCLA basketball player.
Oh, god!
He's great!
Right on his face.
How amazing!
I'm sure he has many broken bones.
He landed on his face.
-What's next? -To the rocket and the stone.
-Step on the rocket. Come here. -Can he?
Say your mother's name and do it.
Jump on it or repent later.
-I can't do it. -Come on!
-You can do it. -I can…
-I can't. -Go ahead.
-Okay. -He seems tense.
Step on it.
Come on!
It wasn't that bad!
Wait.
Jeez!
To the rock now.
Okay.
I can't see it.
I'm drenched!
On the rock or the bell?
-I need space. -Bravo!
Let him come.
Make space for me, Jerrold.
-Make it fast. -It seems you're on the backfoot.
Careful. Easy.
It's difficult.
Bravo!
That was a scary one.
-Do it. -Do it, pal!
Bravo!
I can't see you, Lajuan. I trust you.
Don't worry. I can do it.
You're the one!
-You will. -I'll jump on it.
Do it now.
Do it fast. The stairs will sink.
Jerrold is right. The first one will soon sink.
Lajuan has to prove
-that he deserves to be their roommate. -Do it.
-Do it now. -Don't waste time.
There he goes.
You can.
Bravo!
Yes!
He has done it.
They have scored a point.
His friends must exit before the stairs sink into lava.
You can do it.
We can do it for sure.
-Go ahead! -It's Jordan's turn!
-He has to jump. -Do it.
Did you run before jumping?
-How do I? -Just do it.
-Sure? -Quick!
Bravo!
That was a wonderful one.
They all have jumped long enough.
Good.
To the stone now.
Mind your feet.
Good suggestion.
Hold the top part and jump.
I placed my feet there.
Place them there.
-Do it. -Stand on it.
Hold it.
-Jump like a frog. -A frog?
Yes. Hug the stone tight.
He's a basketball player.
He should be able to do it.
Can he do it or…
Come on!
This clip will be replayed
Bollywood-style.
I don't want to die, Veeru.
-I don't. -You'll be fine, Jai.
No, Veeru.
Veeru!
Jerrold's fall means one less point for his team,
but he gave it a shot.
-How stable is this rock? -Go to it.
Jordan must pull his socks up.
In case of a tie, the team that gets across first wins.
On your feet.
Jump!
You can. Do it.
Don't slip.
When did the stairs vanish?
-They vanished! -They did.
Can you catch me now?
-I'm jumping. I'm serious. -Oh, really?
Jump.
I have an idea.
I'll go there first.
Do it, Jordan.
You must sweat it out to make it.
Here he comes.
He falls into it.
-Two points gone. -They're both gone now.
That's what could go wrong!
The lava cannot wait.
Lajuan was wonderful,
earning a point for his team.
But Jerrold disappointed us.
He fell short.
Jordan repeated the failure and into the lava he went.
I was able to do it.
We'll make a frame with the money
which shows you celebrating
-having crossed the exit line. -Yes. At our apartment.
-We'll use the prize money for it. -Sure.
You'll get the apartment and the photo.
-How shameless! -You'll remember it.
Lajuan's point has made Mama's Boys the leaders.
For now.
The second team to take a voyage across the Planetarium is Triple Threat.
It's made up of a married couple,
Nick and Kay, and Kay's cousin, Xavier.
Nick and I met in 10th grade when we were 15, and have been together since.
The first time I met this beautiful woman, I knew that she was the one.
-We're just having lunch together, right? -Burger King.
Burger King was our first date
-and I bought you muffins. -Right.
They were dating when I was a kid.
He would always sneak into the room.
Unfortunately, he's been traumatized ever since.
I'm the leader today.
-He's the one. -Yes.
I hope so.
-Are you unsure? -No.
-Wrong. -Not at all.
-You are. -That's the issue.
-Wow! -Red lava!
-Amazing! -The lava…
-or him? -Wow!
Hello, space cadets!
This game is simple, there's only one rule.
-Don't fall because the floor is… -Hot!
-What's this? -Lava.
Come on, the show is called Lava Ka Dhaava.
Right! Whoa!
Wow!
Step up. We'll hold you up so you can stand on it.
-I see. -Okay?
-Yes. -Wait.
As the leader, his first decision is to launch his wife.
Does he want to get rid of her?
Wait.
-I have to go there, stepping on it. -Yes.
Bravo!
Clap for her.
Neptune could bear her weight.
Leap off of one foot and land on the other. Try to hit that platform.
Take it easy.
Don't fall.
Balance and then jump.
Kay makes it.
That was quite a scene.
Was she mopping the floor?
Don't slip. Easy.
-Careful. -Yes.
-Wow! -Your turn?
-I'm here. -Or me?
To proceed from here,
I need someone to push me.
-Yes. -Do you get it?
-You heard it? -Do I land on my knees?
Yes.
Nick, if I can do it, you can too.
Nick and Xavier are choosing to follow Kay's path.
Nick is her husband after all.
Xavier can climb the constellation wall.
Bravo!
Still young!
It's slippery.
It is.
Do it like I did.
-Careful. -He could hold on to it.
Don't jump on this.
-I'll jump on it. -Sure.
Okay.
I can jump on it.
-Sure? -It's close.
The capsule should be stable.
I think it is.
-It should be. -When will he start?
They're stable. Xavier is now in the game.
Will you go? Or do you think you can push me?
Careful.
Nick is about to step on the platform Kay thinks is stable.
I wish you knew the capsule isn't stable.
I wish you'd watched the last episode.
Step on it. That'd be great.
You want my hand?
-Do it. -Sure.
-Come on! -Oh, god!
-Come on! -I told you…
-It will sink. -Come on!
Hold it. I'll jump.
Males are proud of their caliber.
"Don't abandon me, please!"
"I know I'm old."
He has fallen into it.
The lava is dangerous.
-Down goes the leader. -No, Nick!
I knew it.
Nick lunges for the capsule,
but can't get his footing,
so Nick's Apollo mission has been aborted.
Team Triple Threat is now a Double Threat.
But a win is still possible.
The first team only scored one point.
-Where? -I'll go here and then jump.
We should do this together.
Let's do it.
How ridiculous!
It's spreading.
You're right.
-All right. -Okay.
-It's slippery. Wipe it. -Should I?
Xavier's scoping out Uranus.
Don't hurry.
Now firmly planting his boot on Uranus.
He lands.
-Go ahead. -Yes.
Come here. Jump like a frog.
When you jump, I'm just going to try to hold you.
Xavier's next move is a leap to Jupiter.
-And he makes it. -Are you fine?
Awkward much!
What a posture!
I know what's next! Two.
He's sitting like a frog.
What? That's two?
-He doesn't need it. -Ready.
-Jump when you're ready. -He'll fail.
That was risky.
He did a good job.
Xavier's taking charge to join cousin Kay vaulting seven feet.
-He has reached her. -Press the button.
-Right. -Do it.
I think I must run and grab the top.
-Good idea. -I must.
-Nick lost momentum. -Yes.
What Nick did was the split.
Yes! Splits!
-Go for it. -I'm going to try and kick off.
Here I go.
If he can get to it,
he can launch himself to the exit from that rocket.
-So… -You can't be seated there.
Step here and just grab this.
-Why don't you go there first? -You were here first.
Kay's sending her cousin on the route that uses the newly revealed rocket.
It can't take off
until he can get onto Mars and navigate the telescope.
Bravo!
Go ahead.
He's done it.
He's on Mars!
Go ahead.
You need to hug it.
Okay, I'll try.
Do as she says.
Right pose.
We haven't seen anybody reach the telescope yet.
In he goes!
It looks like Xavier is X-ed out.
I have to do it for them!
Kay can still win.
She must finish quicker than Lajuan's 6:47 record.
She has less than 45 seconds.
Make it fast!
I believe I'm going right.
Oh, the lava!
She's the last hope.
She doesn't have time.
She wants to take Xavier's route.
Can she use the telescope to exit?
Kay is trying her best.
She might be able to do it.
Her team will be on the scoreboard.
I wish she knew that…
the telescope tips over.
She toppled off the telescope,
and off the scoreboard!
Triple Threat is triple zero.
Zero points.
-We died in style. -In the lava.
We are a team!
-We go down together. -We all must.
They have scored a duck.
They're out of the contest.
One team is left.
Mama's Boys lead the table.
The last team to attempt it
is Karl, Teresa, and Dan,
three teachers who call themselves
the Edutainers.
We are high school science and math teachers.
Our building is the S&M Building.
It stands for "Science and Maths."
I'm sure we'll win.
Believe it or not, I'm a dancer.
A cheerleader.
I practice yoga on stand-up paddleboards in the middle of the ocean.
I've done mud runs and zombie runs.
They were all easy.
I like to dress up in a tuxedo.
I have an orange tuxedo that I bought years ago.
I was dating my wife.
She asked me not to wear the orange tuxedo again.
-At least twice a year, I wear it. -It's so bad!
I'm highly fashionable.
We need the money for a new terrace teacher's lounge.
It's ratty now. All we have is a folding chair.
The beach umbrella was blown away.
We'd like to add a ping-pong table
and also some patio furniture.
A little wet bar up there.
Not in school!
-Wow! -What?
Fresh out of the classroom.
Let's see what they have to offer.
It's like Doctor Evil's lair.
What's all that?
I see Uranus right over there.
They are contesting the pronunciation.
To the left.
Teachers, there's just one rule.
Don't fall in
because the floor is…
Say it, someone.
-Lava! -Lava!
Good!
The lava looks really hot.
What's the game plan?
Let me take this route.
Let me try.
Those are sturdy.
Teresa wastes no time hopping onto Neptune.
Do it!
How can you balance off of that?
-You can do it too. -Okay.
The dancer's looking at some challenging steps
from the top of Neptune
to the slick surface of the flat Earth.
-You can do it. -Let's see.
Oh, god!
Close shave!
Her momentum could have cost her dearly.
She managed to maintain balance.
She saved her face.
Are you fine?
Just the hands.
-One of us should take this way. -I see.
It's because the control panel is there.
Karl has noticed the control panel.
The Mama's Boys went for it, while Triple Threat left it alone.
Come on, constellations, help me!
Hold tight.
-Careful. -It's difficult.
-I know. -It seems easy.
Careful.
Oh, my!
Those constellation handholds are only two inches wide,
and Karl's not wearing his lucky orange tuxedo.
-He still goes ahead. -You got it, Karl!
-How do we… -Reach it.
Karl should step forward and get to that console,
or his geology students will make fun of him for an era.
He reached it! Wow!
-Can the button be of help? Press it. -Shall I press it and see what happens?
I don't know.
The rocket's been launched.
You saw that?
We can proceed now.
-I can't get onto this! -Or come back.
No way here.
Karl's letting fear make the decisions.
Jordan took his chances
and it proved to be a quick route to the rock.
-I'll go there. -Okay.
Teresa's looking to be
the first woman on the moon!
Do it, Teresa.
Let's go, Teresa, you're doing great!
-That was amazing! -I made it, guys!
She'll get a raise.
Math teacher Dan is finally adding himself to the equation.
Use your reach. Good.
Karl's climbing back towards the starting line.
This could add more time.
Time is the tiebreaker.
Hold on.
Don't let go.
We need the money.
He needed motivation.
Proceed or miss out on the furniture.
-I'll go to the rock. -Go ahead.
-To that one. -You can do it. Come on!
Jump.
Chemistry teacher Teresa
is looking to create a covalent bond between her and that space rock.
-Lady Bond. -Go, T!
Yes!
Right on her face.
What a jump.
Her face was smashed.
Let me go to it.
Next, to that one, and then the rock.
-Two steps? -Yes.
Your legs are trembling, sir.
Look.
-Oh, no! -Dan!
Dan totally miscalculated that jump!
-Don't let go. -Hold on!
Don't.
Hold on! Use calculus.
Come on! Do it.
Pull yourself up.
Come on. Do it.
In he goes!
I can calculate too.
They are just two now.
He lost his footing and met a slippery end.
The landing was erroneous.
The lava was waiting.
He fell into it.
The Edutainers can still score two points and beat the Mama's Boys,
but they need to keep moving quickly.
Should I go there?
I'm clueless! Where else?
Let me get there and press the button.
Try it.
-Did he hug it? -Yes.
-Hold it and stand upright. -Okay.
You're going right.
I don't know any other way.
Do you want to jump on it?
I can turn it.
Try this one.
The others are very slippery.
-You might fall. -Lava is everywhere.
I can get charred.
Can you jump like a monkey?
I've been doing that since childhood.
You've always been a monkey!
Are you ready?
Not wanting to follow Dan's footsteps into the lava,
Karl would rather take a flying leap at the moon.
So?
It's the moon, sir!
I told you.
He fell into it.
Look.
In space, no one can hear you scream.
He can see stars now.
The geology teacher gets his world rocked.
And now it's all up to Teresa.
She can win this game
if she can get to the exit
before Lajuan's time of 6:47.
I'm nervous.
How do I get across there?
I have to jump.
I have no choice.
The former cheerleader
is trying to rah-rah-rouse herself.
She needs to move fast. That clock is ticking.
Teacher down!
A failing grade for her.
We've lost.
-We have. -Nonsense!
We did try.
-What? -What about the furniture?
We'll get nothing.
Who wants to donate?
With zero points, the Edutainers have flunked out.
The Mama's Boys are the winners.
They earn 10,000 dollars
and the Volcano of Victory for the winner.
Rutledge Wood will confer it.
What a trophy!
How impressive!
You're the winners!
-We've done it! -Hurrah!
The 10,000 dollars is all yours.
You have defeated the lava.
You win the trophy too.
Don't fight for it.
Keep watching as the lava looms large
and we come back with new teams and rooms
only on Lava Ka Dhaava.
