This program me contains strong language from the start and throughout,
and scenes that some viewers may find upsetting
Hands by your side. Sit.
We're looking for those rare people who, no matter how hard life gets,
will have the will and strength to succeed
in the face of extreme adversity.
Walk.
Come on, then. Hurry up! Let's keep it moving.
In this series, an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers...
Let's go!
...are putting 20 civilians...
Come on, then!
...through the toughest stage of SAS selection.
Go on!
The Vietnamese jungle isn't some gap year holiday destination.
SHOUTING
It will kill you if you underestimate it.
These recruits are in for a baptism of fire.
Fight!
Give it to him! Knock him down!
Operating in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.
Keep pushing!
The jungle phase of selection was the hardest part
of my military career.
I can't take this any more. Yeah?
I've never felt so relieved for something to be over.
Let's go!
Each task based on the real process...
Over there! Now!
...the recruits must go beyond the physical...
Incoming, now! SHE GROANS
...to come face to face with their true character.
Come on! Go, go, go!
If I tell you one more time, I'll take that armband off you.
No other test asks as much.
Believe in yourself.
I'm trying, staff, my best.
Or means as much...
...to the few who make it through.
It pays to be a winner.
SNORING
Are you ready, mate? Ready, brother.
Happy on what we're going to do? Yeah.
Everything on selection is clone with surprise.
You have to expect the unexpected.
Because in our world, we don't know when the enemy's going to attack.
Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
Get respirators on! Get your respirator on.
Gas, gas, gas!
Let's go. Let's move it!
Let's go! We're being overrun.
Come on. Get your respirator. Let's go! Move it!
The 11 remaining recruits are being subjected
to a simulated attack on the base.
Go on, then. Go, go, go.
They are evacuating to an emergency rendezvous point.
This way. Go on, go. Go on. Get up there.
Go back and get your Bergen.
Ten, go back and get your Bergen.
Separated by the DS from their team-mates
are Number 9, Daniel,
and Number 10, Danica.
Worst case scenario is obviously losing one of your guys
or somebody being taken hostage.
You two are staying with me. DANICA SIGHS
We always rehearse for such events.
It's drilled into every single one of us what would happen
and how we'd do it.
I'm going to do a head count.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
We're missing two people.
Right, listen in.
We've just been bumped by the enemy on the base.
We're going to assume the camp's been retaken.
What we're looking for in that moment,
when everybody else around them is falling apart,
is somebody who can step up to the plate
and take control of that situation no matter what it is.
That's an exercise to get your heart rate going in the morning, guys.
So what, are they...? What's happening with them now?
Danica and Dan, they got taken.
What, the dancer? Yeah.
He didn't ever dance for us, did he? LAUGHTER
One minute, on parade!
Full kit! This is it, guys.
To test leadership... Let's go.
...the DS have designed a hostage rescue mission
where the recruits will be split into two groups
to retrieve their captured team-mates.
I've been involved in a hostage rescue.
It's fucking petrifying.
The enemy have had time to set up defences.
It's their back garden.
You need to be in and out as quickly as is humanly possible.
The longer you take, the more chances there are
you're going to die.
DAN ICA PANTS
The DS have placed Number 9, Daniel, and Number 10, Danica,
as well as two local hostages,
in a derelict compound 18 miles from base.
The recruits will be expected to find and rescue
all of the hostages within a limited time frame.
They've identified a 15-minute time window,
where the enemy guard force have left the base,
to get in there and rescue the hostages.
Team leader? Yes, staff. Go ahead.
First to attempt the hostage rescue is Team Alpha,
led by Number 14, Ross.
WHISPERS: At the compound,
it's 100 metres in that direction.
Yes, staff. Understood.
Yeah? jump on it.
I think I have those qualities that naturally make people tend
to gravitate to you.
I'm not the bull-in-a-china-shop leader. I'm dependable.
I will listen. I will learn.
Right, this is obviously your release point.
Once you're over the wall, you're on your own, OK?
Yes, staff. Right, crack on.
I will try and be aware of what's going on,
and I think that makes you useful in a leadership role.
METAL CLANGS WHISPERS: Fucking hell.
All right, ready? Go.
EXPLOSION Get down.
Come on, guys. You're getting moving.
Keep moving. They know you're coming.
Why don't you do something about it? Keep moving.
Stop fucking moving like you mean to move.
Come on, speed it up.
WHISPERS: Ready? Three, two, one, go.
Clear.
Come on. Sort your shit out.
Let's go! Ready?
Three, two, one, go.
Down, down, get down! Get in, go!
Get in. Get a move on, Number 14.
We've got a hostage here.
Take cover, Josh. Keep watching.
You can take your hood off. Who is it?
It's not him. It's not ours, but it is a hostage.
Come on. It's not ours. It's not ours. Let's go.
OK, coming. Come on, come on! Let's go. Let's get moving.
Go, go, go! Get out! Get out! Yeah, guys, let's go. Go, go, go.
Team leader Number 14, Ross,
makes the decision to leave the local hostage behind.
Let's go, let's go.
If you come on target and there are other hostages,
you take everybody.
You've got to think on your feet and deal with it.
Check this window. Check this window.
We did a raid on Baghdad and we went in for our target.
As we went into the dark room
and the light shone in for the first time,
and I went in there and just said, "British SAS, you're safe,"
you could just hear them fucking crying.
The sword was there, the camera was set up,
everything was ready for them to cut their heads off.
Saving their lives was, yeah, tremendous.
A great feeling.
Are you ready? We're going in.
GUNSHOTS
Go! Move!
Keep moving! What are you doing running away?
Team on me. Alpha team on me.
We've got 20 enemy on the way. They're five minutes out.
Come on. Let's go, let's go. Hostage.
Hostage, hostage, hostage. Move. Potentially something here.
Come on, then. What are we going to do?
Let's go. We're going to remove your hood carefully, OK? Come on!
With three and a half minutes remaining on the clock...
Right, let's go.
...Team Alpha rescue Number 9, Daniel.
Take charge of him and let's get out of here.
Come on, the enemy's coming. Let's go. Let's move!
Let's go. Let's go!
Come on. Come on, team.
Go!
Put that fucking bit of kit down. Put your kit down.
Right, you came over the wall,
there was a couple of fucking charges that went off,
and you looked like you were a rabbit in headlights.
You were like, "What do we do now?"
Your mission is to rescue all of the hostages.
Yes, staff. Yes, staff. Yes, staff.
And there's a hostage still barricaded
in that first outbuilding.
Fucking poor.
Weapons on safe? Yeah.
To be fair, that's my fault.
I wasn't sure enough.
It felt not very humanitarian. It's sort of a shame.
Can you imagine doing that for fucking real?
I know it weren't great, but think of the positives.
We got him back. We got our man back.
Thank you. I appreciate it. There you go.
That sledgehammer can go with you. Yeah, yeah.
You'd better carry that, yeah? Yeah.
Up next is Team Bravo...
OK, are you good to go? Yeah. All right, follow me.
...led by Number 18, Levi.
I've never been a follower.
My clad always taught me don't be a sheep. Yeah, don't follow.
"See, if you're going to get in trouble,
"I'd rather you get in trouble at school because you've led everyone."
I do believe I'm good at making decisions.
Don't know if they're always the right decision.
We're going to move to the left as close as we can.
First door on the right, help me open.
Right, right, right.
Team leader Number 18, Levi,
tasks Number 7, Faye, with searching the rooms for hostages.
Go, go, go'
Let's go! Quickly.
I work for a global technology organisation
as director of operations.
I lead a significant team across the UK.
Watch the wire. Come on. Come on, go.
I'm always undertaking new challenges.
One of the highlights has been becoming a private pilot.
I even take my kids flying and it's just so not cool,
you know, flying with their mum,
but it is so cool, you know, to me.
Their norm is so far apart from my norm as a child.
Go, 90, go, go.
Hit it!
Go on, then. Let's go.
Hit the room. That's right. Take the initiative.
EXPLOSION
Come on, come on. Come on, let's go.
Gas, gas, gaS, 96$, 935-
Number 7, Faye, calls the team out of the building,
leaving behind the local hostage.
Go, 90, go, go.
Where's the fucking...? Where's the entry tool?
Come on, then. Let's move.
Oh, my God. The place is clear, come on.
GUNSHOTS What's going on?
Move! Move!
SHOUTS
Let's go!
Come on, then. What's going on?
Team leader Number 18, Levi, locates Number 10, Danica.
Need a hand?
Let's move. Hurry up.
Go, go, go. Time is ticking.
You need a hand?
Somebody help. Ticktock! Ticktock!
Let's get the hostage out of here now!
Yes, staff.
Fuck's sake.
Thanks. Let's go.
Out of the room. Get off!
Move. Come on, mate.
Come on. Hurry up!
Stop!
Come in here.
With four minutes remaining on the clock,
Team Bravo have also failed to rescue the second hostage.
Did you clear all the building?
As far as I was aware, staff. Maybe I missed a room.
Fucking bullshit. Well, you didn't. You fucking didn't.
I'm telling you that for nothing.
You've gone into the first room, cleared it, fine.
You've gone into the second room. What was in there?
A box on the floor, and some... Like, a bucket and things like that.
Nothing else?
No hostages, nothing like that? Not in there. I didn't see...
No-one with a hood on?
You missed a hostage.
You literally glanced over an actual live person
and fucked off.
It's a poor effort in the end.
The whole plan just went to shit.
We could have clone a lot better.
I'm not angry. I'm not pissed off, you know what I'm saying?
Well, you're voicing your opinion though like you are, Levi,
and it's a bit demoralising.
Do you agree that, you know,
we all kind of flustered in our positions?
I'm not disputing that we didn't, but I'm not...
I don't think you can underestimate
what people are trying to do in that room.
You're taking it personally. You're taking it to heart.
No, I'm not. I'm just saying that there's three people
that were part of this team
and you're being vocal about what you thought personally.
We're all a team, so we always discuss things,
but nobody's saying anything except me.
OK, well...
Do you reckon we're going to end up in the drink today? We could do.
Could do, couldn't we?
Aquaerobics class in there.
Have Big Levi in my fucking aqua class with the ladies.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Hands up and wave. Hands up and wave.
Hands side. Hands side. Hands, side.
Let's go. Four to the left.
LAUGHTER
Four to the right. Well clone, ladies.
Come on.
After the recruit's disappointing performance on the morning's task,
the DS meet to discuss their response.
It's like having kids again.
They won't do anything until they're shouted out.
Some of them are putting in the effort,
but they're getting masked by the rest of them
who are dragging them down. Yeah.
We need to bring them back onto the boil.
Rather than a be a sting,
just do a basic sort of integrity test. Yeah.
So we can hold them to account.
Right? Yeah.
Recruits, on the parade square!
Fuck. Coming, staff. Coming, staff.
The DS have designed a task to find out which recruits
can be trusted to lead by example.
What I'm going to do now is a combat fitness assessment.
We're looking for 100% from you.
Your starting point, you'll be up in your accommodation.
Go.
The DS have devised a timed circuit of six exercises...
Number 2! Staff.
Go.
In the first round,
the recruits must complete 20 reps.
Seven, eight, nine, ten.
My press-ups are slow.
Sit-ups there, Number 2.
Number 3! Go.
Two of the stations are out of sight of the DS.
Unknown to the recruits,
these stations are being secretly recorded by the directing staff.
Come on, then.
Sat by the side of the lake like a fucking gnome.
This task is designed to see if the recruits have the honesty
and integrity to carry out orders when they're not being watched,
or when they think they're not being watched.
Number 9.
Next to take on the integrity challenge is Number 9, Daniel.
Ooh, here we go.
Like the Terminator.
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom. Stand by. Go!
I'm only the third British person that's ever graduated
from Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow.
Come on, then. Hurry up.
I was kind of a young kid going out there.
First time away from my family.
I didn't have a clue what anyone was saying.
Let's go, let's go.
I remember first night at the school, my room-mate,
he was just in tears the whole night.
When I started on that first clay, I said, "I'm going to graduate,"
and I would do everything I can to make that happen.
Come on, Number 9.
Not even out of breath, you fucking... Get up the stairs.
Number 7.
Next to take on the circuit... Stand by.
...is the oldest recruit on the course, Number 7...
Go. ..Faye.
More a nodding dog than a press-up.
If I do find something, you know, really difficult,
I'll be open and honest throughout that experience.
Sprint. Go, go.
When I look at experiences that I've encountered
where colleagues are not pulling their weight...
Burpees, Number 7.
...then the reality is everybody else is having to pick up
the additional slack for that.
Pull away now. Sprint. Come on, sprint.
Good effort, 7.
Come on, Number 10.
Let's go. Go, big man, Number 18.
Let's go. Good effort, 16.
18, this is it now. Sprint finish, 18. Let's go, sprint.
HE RETCHES
Oh, shit. Who's that? josh.
Just let it out.
Let it all out.
Good effort, OK?
We're going to do it one more time, though.
You're doing 15 this time, so you should beat the fucking time.
All right? Yes, staff.
Are you ready to go? Yes, staff. OK, down you go.
Fatigued by the first round...
Go! ..the recruits must go again,
this time doing 15 reps at each station.
Come on, team. We've got this.
Let's go. Good effort.
Their honesty will be monitored
by the directing staff's cameras.
Huh!
Come on, 9.
Is Notre Dame missing a bell-ringer?
In the Special Forces world, we work in small units.
Every clay, we put our lives in the hands of our fellow soldiers.
Come on, 7. Let's beat that time.
When we are exhausted and out of ammunition,
will we continue to fight on?
Cutting corners is not an option.
Cutting corners is what gets people killed.
Go on, Number 7, all the way in. Come on, 7.
Oh, God. You're fast, you.
I try my best, babe.
OK, get on parade.
Let's go.
OK.
The combat fitness test.
Is anybody not giving 100%?
ALL: No, staff. Did you all give 100%?
ALL: Yes, staff. OK, good effort.
Go.
All recruits claim to have fully completed the circuit.
Let's see what the evidence tells us, shall we?
The DS want to check if any have cut corners when out of sight.
OK, the burpees. Let's have a look.
And this is Number 9.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four. Good reps.
That should be the standard.
I hope everyone's clone it right, because they'll make us do it again.
I did a really clean technique on the first time, so I was like,
I need to do it really clean again.
Number 18.
Round two.
Come on. What was that?
8? 8. Come on.
At least she's doing them right.
Oh, fuck me. He's got a second wind.
I think the aim of the game with that one today
was just to get that second one faster.
I don't know. I think if somebody is lying about the numbers,
I think we'll get a tanking, you know. It's all about integrity.
The DS have reviewed all of the footage.
One recruit's integrity has been called into question
for failing to complete all repetitions of the circuit.
Sit.
Number 7.
I'm going to show you something.
This is the second run through the circuit today.
How many reps were there?
I counted ten there.
Ten, my arse.
It was fucking nine.
You're a fucking high-achieving engineer
and you can't count to fucking 15.
Honestly, if you'd have asked me at the start,
if I'd have known that were coming up, I would have genuinely thought
I'd have done 20 on every one and 15 on every one. I just...
CH RIS SLAMS TABLE Bullshit!
Do you think us two are sat here fucking idiots? No, absolutely not.
No. Do you not think that we understand what it takes
when you're cold, wet, miserable,
to push out them extra six?
No, absolutely. I do.
When left to your own devices, you couldn't do it.
Ancl you thought, "Them daft twats can't see me.
"I'm going to fucking drop six off."
Why the fuck do you do it?
When we go out on the ground,
the only thing we've got that keeps us alive is our integrity.
Guard!
DOOR OPENS
Fucking think long and hard about what's fucking happened today.
I would describe myself as a survivor.
You know, I've gone through so many negative experiences in life
and I've kind of had to adapt to those situation.
Kind of thinking on my feet and adapting to those environments
I would perceive as being my strength.
Go on parade.
Everyone on parade now.
All of us? Yeah.
Come on. Chop chop.
Go on. There's your team-mates.
Go, go.
Honesty and integrity.
That is the spine
of the Special Forces world.
I told you, we see every single thing, did I not?
RECRUITS: Yes, staff.
Number 7, come out here.
Stand in front of these.
Explain to them, in your words,
what I am fucking talking about, loud and clear.
Yeah, so on the knees-up, I've not done 15
and I've just gone back through the video and I counted nine.
And I genuinely thought that I'd done 15.
You genuinely thought?
Yeah.
Jail her.
Turn to your left, Number 7.
Follow me. Follow the DS.
Does everybody get that? RECRUITS: Yes, staff.
We don't care if you're the fittest or the fastest.
We care about your honesty and integrity.
Go.
Number 7.
You remain in there until one of the DS comes and releases you.
How are you doing nine?
MUQQY, "WQQY, mUQQY- Like you're shocked.
Giving up were never an option for me.
That resilience and that kind of tenacity is something
that I'm hoping that will drive me through, you know,
when times get difficult.
LEVI GROANS Where?
Is it both gone? Yeah.
This side's been gone for ages, but it just pulled out today.
HE EXHALES
God, I got savaged last night.
Jordan, it was just... Yeah.
Number 7!
Fast as you can.
After her punishment in the water cage,
the DS have doubts about Number 7 Faye's place on the course.
Step.
Stand still. Hands by your side.
You look petrified. Are you?
I don't think I'm scared.
I'm finding it hard.
I think there's a load of people that are really strong.
I mean... Fuck everyone else.
The circuit yesterday,
why do you cut the corner?
I don't know.
I am disappointed in myself.
I suppose I've always wanted kind of acknowledgement, really,
which I've never really had.
What's your relationship like with your parents?
They're dead, both of them, now.
OK, so what was it like?
Not great, really.
I think that's one of the things I'm trying to overcome.
I suppose I've always wanted to, you know, kind of say to them,
"Well, look, I've achieved extremely well in life."
I went into engineering, then I went on to win the UK Engineering Award.
This ain't a job interview, by the way.
No, no.
When you came on here, what did you think, I want to come away with?
I've kind of suffered throughout my life,
really, with lack of confidence.
I was taken into care as a kid at nine
and kind of battled through that process, you know,
kind of coming out of it, failing at school,
basically being told that, you know,
you're not going to achieve anything in life.
You know, I feel I've been stigmatised for being in care.
Even now?
Yeah, it's still with me, really, and I've kind of changed my life.
I've worked really hard, but I do have this self-doubt
and I always have.
Stop fucking wanting a pat on the back.
You ain't getting it.
I would love my mum and clad to know what I've clone.
I was a little twat
and that's what they went to the grave remembering, probably.
I can't do anything about it.
So drop all that.
You don't need it.
But now I'm going to kick your fucking arse out there
for the rest of this course.
You know, I want to see a different Number 7.
Guard.
Fuckin' hell.
When I entered care, all my family was broken up.
So I've got three sisters and we were all moved
into different children's homes.
In the first two years that I were in care,
I were moved around around 50 times,
so I never felt safe.
I never felt part of a family.
Keep your chin up. Thank you, staff.
This is the kind of shame that I've carried, you know,
throughout my life.
This experience, for me, it's about knowing one's worth.
SHE SIGHS
I want to get to a place where I'm really, really content with life.
Can you bend your left knee and bring it up?
Tell me if you get any pain. HE GRIMACES
OK, relax. One of the front runners on the course, Number 18, Levi,
has aggravated a pre-existing groin injury.
Seeing the pain you're in, your injury could easily
be a groin tear case,
so I'm quite concerned about that area.
Ancl I think if you carry on,
you're likely to do some more significant damage.
Please, I can carry on. No. Please.
We're going to have to medically withdraw you from the course.
I can carry on.
Number 18, listen. Please, staff.
I mean, just listen to me. Please, staff.
It's not finished yet.
You have been outstanding.
But did it prove to you that I've got what it takes, staff?
You've done it. Let me tell you something.
You were going to walk out of here with your head held high.
You've given 100% and that's all we ask.
HE GROANS
Number 18, Levi, becomes the 10th recruit
to leave the course.
Do the hon ours, Chris.
After the withdrawal of Number 18,
the DS decide to change the leaders of both teams.
OK. I reckon we should pick somebody we're disappointed in.
When the chips are down, this is when it fucking counts.
What are we thinking about 7?
You know, kind of give her a chance to redeem herself, etc.
Yeah? Mm-hm. Yeah.
Who else?
Number 9.
He's very much the grey man.
You know, he's in the middle of the pack
and it might give him the boost or kick up the arse he needs.
OK. Everybody happy?
Yeah.
Get on parade!
On parade, let's go.
Full kit! On parade. Full kit.
Full kit. Argh! These are heavy now.
Let's go!
OK. Everybody good to go?
ALL: Yes, staff.
Team Bravo.
Team leader is Number 7.
Understand? ALL: Yes, staff.
Team Alpha, Number 9.
You are now team leader.
Yes, staff.
OK.
Go!
Get your fucking mind in the game.
Let's move!
Stop there.
This task is about equipment resupply.
These sort of manoeuvres require grit, determination,
and most importantly, leadership.
Am I clear so far? ALL: Yes, staff.
Your kit's over there.
When I say go,
two minutes to yourselves, working out what you're going to do
and how you're going to move it.
Go!
The two teams will go head-to-head in a race to transport equipment
six kilometres across the jungle.
Yeah. OK, well, I'm going to need two people on this.
One person per two Jerry cans. Yeah, yeah.
Are we happy? Everyone knows what they're carrying?
Can you get those two Jerry cans?
Right. That's everything, then, guys.
Go!
Let's go.
Your early Sunday walk. Let's get going.
Chosen by the DS to lead Team Alpha
is Number 9, Daniel...
Guys, you're going too fast.
Come on, girls. Keep moving.
...who's taken an early lead.
As a soloist, I do spend most of the time on my own.
Come on, Rosie. Close the gaps. Come on, close them.
Come on. One step at a time.
I do have the skills to work in a team,
but probably at the moment
I'm probably stronger working on my own.
Look at this. Thrashing them.
Let's fucking go, Terminator.
Bravo, you're falling behind.
Number 7, get the fucking team moving!
Why are they in front of you? Come on, guys. Come on!
Leading Team Bravo... Come on, guys! ..Is Number 7, Faye.
I think over my career I've been a great leader.
You know, I love motivating people.
Guys, come on. Move! Move, 7! Come on, guys.
I really do enjoy being in that environment
where everybody works together.
Let's go. Come on. Come on, Number 4.
All together, all together.
Let's go!
We're closing in.
We've got this.
Yes, just keep moving.
Get a move on. Let's move!
The others are out in front.
There they are. There's your target. Guys, come on.
Come on, guys.
Team Bravo surge past Team Alpha
just 200 metres from the RV point.
Agh! Less Barbie. Let's go.
Well done, 7. Fuck me. You're getting something right.
Push! Teamwork.
Push! Close it up, close it up.
Fucking good effort. This is where a fucking win has become work.
Come on!
Whoever's in charge of Team Alpha, your team is decimated.
Get up that hill!
Fuck! You're fucking shouting at them, fucking Number 9.
You worry about the bit of kit you've got. Sorry, staff.
Close the gap before you start shouting at people in front of you.
Sorry, staff.
Come on, then. Hurry up!
You're miles away from the finish.
One of the hardest tasks we do on this course is ammo resupply.
Get a move on, Number 14!
Come on, guys!
We're nearly there. Come on.
On my selection,
I can remember it was pissing down,
blokes were slipping over, falling over,
and there was one guy sat down and just started crying
and he was like, "I can't do this any more.
"I'm going home."
It's amazing, guys. Go!
Heads up!
It's that ability to overlook all pain and emotion
and find it within you to keep going.
Keep coming.
Number 7, Faye, leads her team to the RV point first,
winning phase one of the race.
Excellent, guys. Well clone. Good effort.
Oi, it ain't time for celebration!
We're far from finished.
Get your team together. Sort your shit out.
One, two, one, two, one, two. Come on. We're nearly there.
150 metres behind,
struggling in Number 9 Daniel's Team Alpha,
is Number 5, Becky.
Come on, let's go! SHE EXHALES
I'm not one to give up.
I'm very competitive.
Lift. Come on!
I'm not giving up.
Come on, legs.
You will have to drag me out.
Just keep going.
My son will definitely keep me going when it's tough.
I can't. I've got to go down. All right, let go, let go. I'll take it.
I've got to keep him in the back of my mind
and show him how hard his mum is.
Softly.
You're fucking joking.
Team Alpha reach the RV four and a half minutes later.
Get water down your throats, please, guys. Fuck. Aargh!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Down to the next DS and listen in to the next detail.
Go! Let's move!
Guys, I can't go any more. My leg's fucked. Come on!
I can't. You've got to. Let's go.
Help her. Whole team get in and help her.
SHE GROANS
Come on!
Aargh! Come on. I can't!
You can't on. Carry on, Number 5.
You know what to do. I'm... OK.
Move, move! Let's go!
Come on!
Give us your armband, Number 5.
Number 5, Becky, becomes the 11th recruit to leave the course.
Get your chin up.
You should be proud of yourself.
I mean that.
Let's go, Bravo!
Come on! Get in the lead. Come on, Bravo.
Get your bergens into the boat. Right.
Get in the boat, Rosie, now. Argh!
In a test of leadership, the recruits are in a two-team race
to transport equipment across the jungle.
All the way to me. Look in.
Yeah.
Team Alpha.
Go, 90, go, go.
Led by Number 9, Daniel,
Team Alpha have already lost one recruit.
There's only four of us here, remember. Let's do this. Come on.
I don't give a fuck how many you are. Fucking hurry up.
Training in Moscow,
we're always kind of taught that if you're struggling, you suck it up.
Oh, fuck!
If you do let your emotions take over,
your whole performance will suffer.
Pull her over, for God's sake.
|'m trying!
Stop getting mad at everyone.
We're taking it up?
Guys, we've got to take the boat up this hill. Let's go.
Over to the DS. Come on, guys.
Just behind them are Team Bravo, led by Number 7, Faye.
Actually, straight down here. That's a straight route down.
Go! Right, come on.
After crossing the lake...
Oh, wait! Come on.
...the teams must carry their 80-kilogramme Mib
back to the starting point.
Onto your shoulder.
Outside hand, onto your shoulder, quick. Yeah, come on.
Wait, wait, go down. She hasn't lifted it.
Outside hand, outside hand.
Left hand. Inside. You can't. Inside hand, it's not going to...
Who's in charge of this team, Alpha?
Dan, they can't do it, mate. They can't do it.
It's too late. They couldn't do it.
It was a good idea, but they couldn't. Let's keep going.
Team Bravo, led by Number 7, Faye,
retake the lead.
It pays to be a winner!
No pain, no gain. Enjoy it.
Who needs to switch sides? Me, my shoulder.
Good communication. Excellent work.
Switch, hurry up! Three, two, one. Stand by, go!
Lift. Let's go. Go! Go!
Fuck yeah!
One, two, three, four.
Leadership's abysmal, Number 9.
One, two, three. For God's sake.
Come on! Come on!
I'm sorry. 9W5-
If I'm failing at something
and I am showing that to people around me,
that makes me feel very vulnerable.
I just don't like to show weakness.
I've really screwed my hand up and I really need to try
another shoulder if we can.
Do you know how? You can try, but it's too heavy to get on my shoulders.
Let me go on the front, then. Trust me. I just don't think it's viable.
Questioning Number 9 Daniel's game plan
is Number 10, Danica.
Right, it's going on the shoulders. Team order. That's it.
We should be carrying it with... Three, two, one, up.
I'm not that great at being told what to do.
Dig in.
Aargh! Don't bounce it, Ross.
Sorry, girl. It was sliding out. For fuck's sake.
I like to think that I can...
I can do it better.
Is that good? Guys, no.
Let's move. Hurry up!
I am very mentally strong.
Headstrong is a word that was used quite a lot as well in my childhood.
Swap. We can't do it over our shoulder.
It's too heavy at the front to go over our shoulder. Yeah. No way.
Let's go! Motivation, 7!
You can move it. Come on, guys. Move it!
We're winning! Come on!
Everything you've got!
That's how it's clone.
Three, two, one, drop. Turn now.
Team Bravo reach the finish line first...
Good effort.
...led by Number 7, Faye.
We've absolutely annihilated these guys today.
Listen, you need to take confidence
from what we've just clone there, all right? Yeah.
OK, pop it down, then.
Come on. Let's get this board moving.
We can't drag it.
Get the board moving, Number 9. One, two, three.
And up.
Right, let's go.
Let's go!
Come on, guys. Last step.
Hurry up! Grit your teeth and fucking go.
All the way.
Shambles.
Absolute shambles.
Right, the only way shit gets clone is through fucking sound,
quality, gutsy leadership.
Bravo put in a shift there.
Good effort.
Turn that way, face the DS and follow on.
Team Alpha was a fucking shower of shit.
A triumphant Team Bravo is sent straight back to base.
This is the winners' mile. Get your heads up.
The losing Team Alpha must make the one-kilometre journey
carrying their Mib overhead.
Slow down! Slow down, otherwise I will drop it on you.
Don't drop. Get the boat up here.
This is ridiculous.
Fucking Bergen. Fucking Bergen is right.
Ugh!
The shoulder thing didn't work.
Yeah. Can I explain why that happened?
Just so you... I know why. Because you couldn't grip.
When you said that that motivation was annoying,
that's why I tried to tone it down, because as soon as you tell me...
When we're trying to get off the boat and you're like,
"For fuck's sake, for fuck's sake." Yeah.
"Get your fucking bergens." It's not really encouraging for everybody.
Yeah, but next time just tell me straight away.
I shouldn't need to tell you that
"fucking get your fucking Bergen" is not encouraging.
See, I just work with people who work like that, you see.
So it's a different... That's all.
Well, whatever. Yeah, yeah.
Recruit 9!
Coming, staff. Keep your foot on the gas. Let's go!
After showing poor leadership in the ammo resupply task,
the DS need to decide if Number 9, Daniel,
should remain on the course.
Sit.
Where are you right now,
physically and mentally?
I was bad after the task.
Feeling very, very low.
I don't do much leadership, so this was quite an experience.
Well, that was obvious, to be honest.
What are your reasons for being here?
I'm a classical dancer.
I've been doing this since I was four years old,
but I realise that I've only got a few years left
before that's going to end.
Losing that schedule, losing that discipline,
it can be quite a dark place.
I want to have this confidence to find that I can find a new route
and take a new path.
What was growing up like?
I came from a town which, you know,
there'd probably never been a ballet dance before.
I came from Widnes. It's a rugby town.
My dad was the rugby coach.
I went to Moscow when I was young to start training
and I stopped showing my emotion from that point on.
If I have a bad performance, I get angry,
but I get angry with myself.
I spiral down, letting it build as a fire inside you.
And I think it's just self-criticism.
Self-criticism's good, but don't over egg it,
because all you do is lose sleep, beat yourself up,
and it makes you worse the next time you go into it.
Yes, staff. Relax.
Embrace the challenges.
Don't be afraid to fail,
because you know when you fail,
you fucking grow.
The learning curve has got steep.
For me, you're clinging on by your fingernails.
I'll give you everything I've got. That's alll can promise you.
Guard!
He needs to take a breath.
He'll fucking burst into flames if he fucking don't calm down.
In that moment when you're dancing, you have this level of freedom,
which I don't experience when I'm doing anything else,
and something that defined my personality,
defined who I was, is going to end
and I have to do something different.
It's that fear of can you find happiness in something else?
Take this to heart.
Do better tomorrow.
And I think this course will help me accept
that you will feel uncomfortable if you do do something different,
but you can still succeed.
Yeah, well clone.
I wouldn't be able to get through that without you strong people.
I wouldn't have been able to get through it.
It's just keeping to that plan, isn't it?
Stand by! (50!
You don't want to have to rely on your survival instinct.
Come on. Let's keep moving.
But when the shit hits the fan,
you want to know that you've got them.
Let's go!
That ability to overlook all pain and emotion
and just want to be alive.
