This program me contains strong language,
scenes that some viewers may find upsetting and discussions of suicide
Stand still.
Move across.
Stand still!
Sit.
When your back's against the wall,
we have to see who is willing to go to the edge.
Do you have what it takes to be one of us?
Don't give up!
Suffer in silence!
In this series...
...an elite team of ex-special forces soldiers...
Keep pushing!
Let's go!
...from the UK and USA... Go!
...have combined their skills... Light it up!
...to create the toughest course yet.
Watch the right! Get in there now!
Let's go!
...bringing together the most gruelling elements
of Special Forces selection... Come on!
...from both sides of the Atlantic.
America's bringing something to the table!
This is a combination of the best fighting forces in the world.
Yes!
I'm going to Vegas, baby!
Collaboration with our brothers in arms
has gone on for years.
We've got incoming! Get out! Get out!
The American process is based on ours,
but it's even more brutal.
I want the recruits to learn through pain.
This is the warm up.
Now we're going to get to the real game.
Let's go, mountain goats!
Each recruit must go beyond the physical...
SHOUTING
...to come face to face with their true character.
You buffoon! I am strong.
You'd better not stop again or I'm dropping your ass.
No other test asks as much...
Keep working. Keep working.
Do not give up.
...or means as much...
Be proud of yourself, mate. Own it.
Good man.
I'm proud of you. Give me some. Thank you.
...to the few who make it through.
Good job. Both of you.
Thank you, staff.
Welcome to the slaughterhouse,
little lambs.
Oh, my hair's just, like, stuck to my scalp.
INAUDIBLE
Felt I got, like, four hours' sleep.
SHE TRUMPS 00f!
That was a hell of a fart.
Just checking.
Recruits, out on the parade square!
Let's go.
Hurry UP!
It's the third phase of the course,
and of the 20 recruits who began,
18 remain.
The most powerful individual asset an SF soldier possesses...
...is his mind.
The mind is what frames the individual Warrior's
complete reality.
We're stepping into a new phase and we're going to have some
very serious exposes of character and mindset.
All right, get your Bergens, head on out to the vehicles.
In the special forces community, mindset is everything.
And it ain't going to be anyone in this car, is it? No!
No.
When you are in an enemy land... Keep it going.
Let's go! All the way up!
...you must compartmentalise your pain and fear
to accomplish the mission.
LET'S go!
If you do not have that ability, you will not survive.
Right, ditch your Bergens here.
The recruits are at the Red Sea port of Aqaba,
where they will face a fear test
designed by Special Forces training
to instil trust and courage.
Hey, listen up. Pay attention.
The backwards dive is a test of mindset
in the face of fear and the unknown.
You will not hesitate.
And don't fuck this up.
Watch and get it right.
The perfect demonstration.
The recruits must cross their arms and drop seven metres,
headfirst into the dock below.
Number eight.
Right, when you get up there, get your heels
over the edge of the platform so they're free. Yeah.
At 26 years old, number eight, Paige,
is the youngest female on the course.
Don't look down and don't push your arse out.
I do think people underestimate us.
SHE LAUGHS
See, I was always known as ditzy, and I used to always get told
I was living in fluffy bunny land.
Inhale.
So I kind of do everything in my will
to prove otherwise, I suppose.
Go!
00f!
That's what you do not want to do.
Number eight, shite!
Diabolical.
Fail.
Next recruit!
How's it going, number 17? Good.
Recruit number 17, Pahrnia, is next up.
You wouldn't clock it straight away,
but I sometimes get impostor syndrome.
All right, 17. Yes, staff.
You've received your instructions.
Honestly, I will try my hardest to keep face
and look confident.
You'll fake until to make it. I've lived...
I've lived by this.
Deep inhale.
Turn up as you hope to be.
And just... Just hide the fear.
Go!
What the fuck was that?
Face plant, number 17.
Fail.
Hold and fall, simple. You're not splitting the atom,
you're just falling off a platform. Can't get that right,
the size of some of your fucking heads.
Go!
Cross your arms.
Focus. Focus.
Deep breath. Hold your breath.
Go!
The selection process is about pushing the recruits
to control their fear.
Stand by.
I remember when I first jumped out of a plane
from a very high altitude into water.
Go!
I was scared to death.
But I didn't think about it.
'Just jumped.
And that moment I jumped — I defeated fear.
Perfect. I beat it.
And that's what we want our recruits to do.
Bunch of amateurs!
Next recruit!
Arms across your chest. Body rigid.
Do not forget that.
Next up to the platform is number 12, James.
Hold your nerve. That's all you have to do.
Staff.
Crack on.
Number 12. On me. Calm down.
You've received your instructions. Yes, staff.
Big inhale. Cross the arms.
Go!
Holy shit!
Ooh!
You fucking bell end!
Oi! You think you're in a fucking circus?
Showboating.
Muppet.
The thing was, he was just either not listening, hesitant or...
Circus clown. Fucking...
Which really pissed me off. Yeah.
Showboat. And that was number 12.
Playing the game, wants to be different,
so we'll make him fucking different. Oh, 100%.
On the basis of that, that was disappointing?
If anybody's here for pure self gain and "it's all about me",
give me your armband now.
You know exactly what I'm talking about, don't you?
Don't you? Staff.
Well, you know what?
Because of you, have a guess what's going to happen?
They're going to pay for this. Staff.
You're not. You can come and sit with me and chill the fuck out.
Turn to your right.
Put that down.
Number 12, out you come. Chill out.
Sit down. Chill.
Think about your actions.
Fuck.
When I say go, you two will race.
Stand by.
Go!
Down and waddle!
Fucking hurry up. Get your arse down.
Get your arse below your knees.
You can say thank you to number 12 for fucking around
and trying to show off.
Everything we do on selection is a test.
It's a test of your mind, a test of your character.
Pick your Bergens up on the way back to Billy.
Get your Bergens and fucking hurry up. Tell 'em.
Get your Bergens and hurry up!
Some people can take the punishment on for themselves,
but when you see somebody else suffering,
a lot of people can't cope with that.
On your feet! Back to Billy!
You have to control your mind.
Otherwise, it will eat you up.
If you don't start shouting at 'em,
I'm going to keep 'em for another five minutes.
Hurry the fuck up, you lazy fuckers.
Hurry... I want to hear you!
Hurry up, lazy fuckers!
Keep pushing! Keep pushing!
Keep pushing!
PANTING
Let's go right here!
Get lower, number 20. I can't...
Either get lower or take off your band.
It's one or the other.
I can't fucking do it, staff.
Thanks for everything, staff. You can hold your head high.
You understand that? Yes, staff.
Hold your head high.
Leo is the third recruit to withdraw from the course.
17 remain.
You're my fucking dog.
Start barking now! Keep moving!
Move!
Number two! Get down, number two!
Get moving!
The recruits are being beasted as punishment
for number 12 James' poor performance
on the backwards dive.
Arses down!
I am reasonably mentally strong,
but there's definitely a breaking point with me.
Get moving!
If I feel like I'm struggling... Keep moving!
...| do have a tendency to kind of quit on myself.
I can't believe I'm saying that, but it's the truth.
I know it hurts.
It's supposed to hurt.
Sprint, number three!
Can't hear you. If I have one more silence,
I am going to add another ten minutes. I can't, staff.
I can't. Want to VW?
Yes, I can't. OK.
Get your kit. Grab your Bergen.
Go and wait over there.
Number 12, James, hands in his armband...
...and the DS called time on the be a sting.
Follow me. Now 16 recruits remain.
Behind my ass, my fucking cute little butt,
get behind it.
I know. I was just getting to know him, like.
I could only imagine how James is feeling.
In general, everyone, I believe, is regressing a little bit.
What do you think, guys?
I think there's a few borderline waiting to pull the plug.
Waiting to go.
You can just read in their faces.
You know, and I agree with you, it's hard to ignore.
I think there is still shit that needs separating...
To shake out the deadwood now.
Let's do it.
Recruits, cover down in your vehicles and load up!
On selection, there comes a time when certain people
just aren't doing enough to justify their position on the course.
We have to put them through the mixer
to see if they've got the grit and determination to get to the end.
Guys, we are in a valley of sand dunes.
Anxiety is kicking in now. Like, what?
What, what?
The DS have designed a task to whittle out the week
on the 400—metre high sand dune.
Welcome to the slaughterhouse,
little lambs.
This is what we call a route march.
It requires mindset, grit and determination.
It is going to be fucking hard.
I want to see some desire to want to be here
at the end of the course.
Yes, staff. Let's go!
In a task of endurance and searing temperatures,
the recruits must race up the sand to an RV point
at the top of the dune...
...carrying over 15 kilos in their Bergens.
Can you move your fucking arse?
I've been in situations in southern Afghanistan
where it was blisteringly hot.
Get up with the DS now! Come on.
We needed to move at speed up a mountain.
I was carrying a SATCOM radio.
I was carrying two mortar bombs.
I was carrying my own weapon systems and ammunition.
You know, it's a fucking nightmare.
Ooh. 17, let's go!
Taking an early lead is recruit number 17, Pahrnia.
I consider myself a leader.
I hate faffing around.
I like to get from A to B as efficiently
and as quickly as possible.
So if I'm the one to help lead people to do that,
I will happily step up.
One, I want to see more effort!
As the temperature on the sand dune approaches 35 degrees...
Keep going! ..the oldest recruit on the course —
number five, Stacy — is struggling at the back.
What do you want to do? VW.
You want to VW? Give me your number.
All right, for you, it's over. All right? Go back down.
Look at me. Go and get yourself down there, all right?
Get your hat back on. Away you go.
Yes, staff. Now 15 remain.
REMI: Are you done? No, staff.
OK, then don't stop. You stop one more time, you're done.
Come here! What's the rules?
Don't stop, staff. Then stop fucking stopping!
Go!
16 and eight, you are now nine minutes behind.
Come on!
20 minutes into the climb, number eight, Paige,
is also trailing at the back.
I would consider myself quite fit,
but that's all dependent on what challenges I am to face.
I've never been abroad,
so I don't know what the abroad heat is like.
I can only relate to Newcastle heat and sun beds,
so I can't really comment on that one.
Show us you want to be here!
Let's go, mountain goats!
Who is that stopping? You done? Did you just quit, 19?
No, staff. Do you want me to take your badge?
No, staff. That's your last warning.
Yes, staff.
Number 19, Tom, is starting to fall behind the leaders.
So I don't really like being criticised.
Close the gap, 19. Staff!
When I was younger, whether it was sport or education,
or whatever it was I was doing,
I never felt like I was good enough.
I think I've learned with age that criticism
isn't a negative thing
and that you can actually use it to make yourself
better and improve.
If I get up there before you close that gap,
you are done, 19!
I'm coming for your ass.
Get out my way.
Pack leaders! Get up there, pack leaders!
That's you, 19! Good job, 19.
You lucky you closed that gap.
Thank you, staff.
Come on, number two. Good effort.
Recruit number two, Dylan, is the first to reach
the top of the dune.
Closely followed by number 19, Tom...
Good effort, 19.
...and number 17, Pahrnia.
Good effort, 17. Bergen off, tuck into the rocks,
get some water on board.
Enough of the fist—bumping. Fucking hell.
15! What are you doing?
I told you multiple times, don't stop.
I'm done.
Take it.
50 minutes into the climb...
Sit down, 15.
...number 15, Nic, voluntarily withdraws from the course.
Now 14 recruits remain.
Come on, 13.
Fucking walking like C—3PO.
The final recruits to arrive at the RV
are number eight, Paige...
Number eight, all the way in.
Head up!
...and in last place, number 14, Jody.
Get your Bergen down and get some water on board.
Don't pass out.
The recruits have now made it to the top.
But what they don't know is that the task isn't over.
This was your warm-up.
Now we're going to get to the real games.
Sprint down to Foxy. Do it now.
Go, go, go, go, go, go!
At a gradient of 45 degrees, the recruits must now
sprint up and down the dune continuously...
Bergen's off and straight back up. Let's go.
...until two more withdraw from the course.
If you want it, you got to take it.
Let's go!
17's breaking away, 19. It's a fight.
Two! OK, somebody wants it!
Number two! Dogfight, I love it!
All the way down to the next DS.
This is the dark place we've got to thrive in.
A continuous sickener is to replicate war.
You should not be walking. Get moving.
You never know when war is going to finish.
You don't know when a fire fight is going to finish.
Come on then, number eight. This is the fight I was talking about.
After struggling on the climb,
number eight Paige is now less than a minute behind the leader.
Fucking good effort, well done. Dig deep now. Take her.
You deserve to be in front of her. Now go, come on. Yes, sir.
We're looking for the people that have got the ability
to keep digging deep when you don't know where the end is.
Do you want to be here, nine? Do you want to be here? Yes, staff.
Yes, staff. Do you fucking want to be here? Turn and burn.
It is the way of whittling out
the weaker members that haven't got the mental stamina to keep going.
Number nine, pick up your Bergen.
I can spit further than you've got to fucking walk.
Hurry up. Let's go!
Number nine, what are you doing? You look like a zombie.
Come on, Reese, come on.
Staff... What do you want to do? VW, staff.
You gave your heart and soul on the mountain, didn't you? Yes, staff.
Good effort. Go and sit over there and grab some water. Well done.
Number nine Vince voluntarily withdraws from the course.
Come on, 14.
Are you done, 14? You can't stop.
Are you done, yes or no?
Sit down. SHE PANTS
I'm proud of you.
You understand?
With number 14, Jodie handing in her arm band, the sickener is over.
Let's go. Get your head up!
Now, 12 recruits remain.
That was brutal. That was savage.
Right, Foxy, do the hon ours.
When you gone, you stay gone.
All right, so we're focusing on mindset now.
What did you see, Foxy?
If I'm honest, they were all hurting when they came in.
But I have to say, 17 is a fucking ox.
She's big and greedy. She's impressing me, man,
I've got to tell you. Very much so. Yeah, I agree.
She is really putting everything into it. Yeah.
19 is still steady. Steady as hell.
I was really impressed with him.
Yeah, what I liked about it was he never gave attitude, he never quit.
Number eight, she was hurting bad...
I didn't think she was going to make it. But she kept driving hard.
In fact, at the end, number eight came in and I was like,
"Where the fuck have you come from?"
She's starting to step into the lime light for the right reasons.
Yeah. Yes. All right, let's bring her in. Yeah. Sound good? Yeah.
Number eight.
Ooh.
Let's go.
Come in, number eight. To the wall.
After showing resilience on the previous task,
the DS want to find out where number eight Paige's motivation comes from.
One step down.
Watch your step.
Forward.
Shift to the right.
How do you think you're getting on?
Erm, I've had a bit of a roller-coaster.
I think I done quite well.
Well, you actually did all right. I was impressed.
We all saw a change in you.
It takes us a while to get in a stride.
And if I can find that mindset I can get into it,
but it takes us a while. We don't have a while.
Where does it come from? I don't know.
I just... When I was younger, me brothers and sisters and me mam
and everybody it was just like, "Oh, it's fluffy bunny Paige
"that lives in this world of her own." So, who put you down?
Your brothers, your mum, what about your father?
No, no, me dad never did. He always believed that,
like, he always wanted us to do really good.
So, why don't you listen to that voice?
Yeah...
How is your relationship right now with your dad?
I...| lost my dad two years ago.
You lost him? Yes.
He committed suicide.
I guess that knocked the shit out of you, right?
Yeah, I suppose it did. MM-hm.
It was quite hard
cos he was somebody who
I'd viewed as the most strongest person...
Right. ..in my life...
and to see somebody not believe in themselves like he did
and just fall into that depressive state
and kind of not be able to come out of it...
Yeah, that scares the shit out of us
because I've seen the one strongest man in my life...happened to him.
So... Yeah.
Is your old man part of the reason you're here?
Yeah. Dealing with that situation,
because I was, like...there.
It was me who cut him down.
In my mental resilience that I'd showed as much as how much I wanted
to give up at that point.. Yeah. ..seeing him like that,
I'd kept going forward.
And I didn't know what it was and I just wanted
to find out what that resilience is.
How far you could push yourself?
Yeah. Because I didn't realise I'd had that much until I'd seen how
I'd dealt with that.
That is a massive weapon in your armoury.
It's going to get harder. Mm-hm. You are capable. You do have potential.
Stay focused. OK.
Guard.
Stand.
To the side.
Turn around.
That's sad. Yeah.
I think you're doing great kid. Thanks, staff.
I've definitely became stronger because of the past few years.
I did all of these things at one time for the first time
and they were hard for me too. It's a combination of mental,
physical and emotional strength and all three have to be balanced.
Yes, staff. I feel like I could be a dark horse on this course.
I do think people will naturally underestimate how determined I am.
Hopefully, I can prove them wrong.
Right, front bicep, go.
Yeah!
He's a beast, isn't he? Thanks man, I've been training.
Have you? Just earlier today, actually.
It's half way through the course
and of the 20 recruits who began, 12 remain.
I won the competition for worst tattoo as well. What's your tat?
I've got "Party in my pants" with balloons on. Oh, how funny.
How much action did you get for that, though?
HE SCOFFS Most people hated it actually.
THEY LAUGH
Recruits, go ahead and get them out. Head on out to the vehicles.
Let's go. Front vehicle. Front vehicle.
Second vehicle. Third, third.
The recruits are heading back to the dunes...
...after being tested on their mental endurance.
Keep it going, let's go. Stay together!
...next, the DS want to test their aggression.
All right. This is called murder ball.
You have to give 100%.
There are no time-outs.
You can never show weakness. You understand?
ALL: Yes, staff.
You will be split up into two teams.
One team will be on that side,
the other team will be on that side.
Hurry up. Let's get this moving. Let's go.
The teams must fight for possession of the tyre.
At the top there, lie your Bergens out there like that,
so your Bergens will create your goal line.
To win, they must get it across the opposing teams line.
Number eight and 13.
Number 13, Sarah
will go head-to-head with number eight, Paige.
Go!
Go on, Paige. Have a plan. Have a fucking plan.
Come on, Paige, that's it. Come on, Paige!
Get in there now. Go round her, go. On your feet.
Get on your feet, you can move. Nice. Get her off.
13, there you go. Pull it up. Rip it.
And number three.
To make the fight unfair, number three Claire is brought in
to assist Sarah.
Hold her down. Hold her down. Two against one, why don't you talk?
Communicate. That's right. War your mindset. Drag her. Pull her.
You've got this, Paige. Pull. There you go.
18. To even up the teams,
number 18 Shylla is brought onto the pitch... Come on, then.
Oh, fucking hell...
Pass to Paige. Go, go, go, Paige. Go, go, go, Paige.
...and clears a path for her team mate.
Go, Paige. Come on, eight, come on...
Come on, let's go, you've got the advantage. Don't fucking waste it.
All you've got, eight!
Keep going. Let's go, eight-
Go, eight! Don't you dare, eight!
Yeah, good effort. I knew you had it in you.
Paige's team wins the bout.
Ah, shit...
Go!
Get the tyre up.
YELLING Let's go!
Murder ball is all about getting the recruits
to start thinking about how to employ aggression...
...and overcome an enemy
in this situation that they've not been able to plan for.
17!
To win any battle, whether it's long distance or close quarter,
you need fucking aggression.
Fucking, mate... 16... 16!
And you have to be able to go head first into some shit.
You're going the wrong way, 17.
Stop!
Very good effort. Good effort, 17.
Number eight.
After winning the first round,
number eight Paige is paired up with number 16 Cat...
Number four and 17.
...to go against number four Abigail and number 17 Pahrnia.
When I was younger, I was angry at life.
I was angry at growing up in...
Just with parents that shouldn't have been together.
All right, let me know when you're ready.
But now, I'm not angry any more. I've made peace with it.
You can't choose the cards you've been dealt,
but you can choose how you play them. Away you go.
Get in, you two!
Number one.
The DS instruct number one Jamie to join next.
Come on!
SHE YELLS
SHE YELPS
HE WINCES Fuck“.
Oh, my head. Oh!
Shit.
Stop there. Oh, fuck. I hope she's OK.
Oh, shit. just lie flat for me. Can you just lie flat for me?
I'm just going to pop you on a bit of oxygen, just for a minute.
Is your neck feeling sore?
Any tingling or numbness in your hands? Um...
I hope 17's all right.
You shouldn't feel shit, Jamie, cos it's part of the fucking game, man.
I want you to look at my finger and keep your head still.
After number 17, Pahrnia suffered a head injury during murder ball...
All right? Mm-hm.
...Chief Medical Officer Saleyha is assessing whether she's well enough
to stay on the course.
KNOCKING Coming in.
Does that feel a bit...? No, no, it's just... OK...
OK. All right.
People witnessed you having a loss of consciousness.
With that in mind, I'm going to have to medically withdraw you.
No, no, no...
Please, let me have a say on this.
You lost consciousness. We cannot risk you.
A brain and nervous system injury,
or the possibility of one, can be fatal
and we have more violence ahead on this course. 17, do you understand?
No, I get it, I get it. It has to be the call.
Fucking great effort. Fantastic.
Keep it going. Let's go.
Faster... Faster.
Sprint.
When you are driving through a hostile environment,
you're vulnerable to an ambush.
Your vehicle becomes your tool of escape,
your vehicle becomes your weapon.
You have not got time to mess about, you have to get out fastest, safest,
quickest means that you possibly can.
There's no room for error.
As a final test of their mindset,
the recruits will come under attack whilst driving
in a simulated war zone.
You will drive through multiple checkpoints,
a border crossing and to a safe zone.
You must maintain a cool mindset.
Do you understand? Yes, staff.
Number one.
You can drive, right? Yes, staff. Let's go.
First to go is recruit number one, Jamie.
On entering the compound,
the recruits will be subjected...to an ambush.
What's coming in,
anything from the right or the left? It's a car, staff, it's a car.
The DS are lying in wait...
Who's ready to go? Let's go right.
Let's get out of here, let's go right.
...and will further attack the vehicle.
GUNFIRE
They're coming behind us. There's a car following us.
What are you going to do?
To pass the task, they must escape to safety...
HE GIVES INSTRUCTION
What do you do? I'm going through.
...by breaking through the barrier...
Climb out.
You happy with that decision? I am, sir. OK, well done. Good effort.
Number one Jamie successfully completes the task.
Number eight, sprint to Billy now. Sprint.
Next up is recruit number eight, Paige.
You can drive, right? Yes, staff. You can?
Initially to pressure, I get really nervous.
I can get a bit flustered.
Calm down. Calm down. Just drive.
It's not in gear. Get it in gear. Oh...
Hopefully, I'll be able to get that under control
and really truly show that I am capable.
There's smoke. Fuck!
Let's get out of here. Let's get in there now.
What else is happening with that car? Let's go.
It's got guns. OK, they're blocking the fucking road,
which way are you going to go?
For fuck's sake. Slow down, slow down. What's happening?
What's happening in front of us? What's happening behind us?
What are you going to do? Do we know where we're going?
Stop!
Stop. Get out.
Right, what was in your head, do you think?
Pretty frantic stuff. You went to rush, it didn't you? Yes, staff.
Consequently, I am fucking dead and you're dead. Yes.
You failed this task, all right? Yes, staff.
You told me you could drive. No, I've recently passed my test.
Oh, fucking great...
The driving ambush is important because, under duress,
you need to make split-second decisions.
Seconds can cost lives.
What are we going to do? What are we going to do?
Down the fucking eight. Stop!
Stop. I've missed death by milliseconds.
Where are we going to go? We're going to go straight.
Let's go right, let's go right... Right, right, right!
I took a round straight through my windshield in an ambush.
What's going on?
There's a man in front of us. Well, what are we going to do?!
My team leader was shot right next to me.
OK... Oh, shit... Oh, shit. There's a bomb, there's a bomb.
With enemies surrounding me,
three of my tyres on my Hum V were blown out.
There's a car coming on the left. Well, get a speed on, then.
Bullets and RPGs going all around us.
We were in the battle of our lives.
Fuck it, I'm going through.
Keeping a cool head in chaos...
What's happening behind us, where are we going to go?
...that's what separates special operations...and everybody else.
What are we going to do? Straight through the barriers, staff.
What's happening?!
It was a good decision, well done. Yes, staff.
Number 19, get over here.
Last to go is recruit number 19, Tom.
How are you feeling about this right now? Bit anxious, staff.
You don't want to quit though, do you? No, staff. OK.
I want to give this my best. So what do you need to do?
Work through it, right? Focus. Right.. Concentrate on the job.
So being nervous is not going to help the situation.
So suck it up, take a deep breath and get it done.
In the, past I was a bit of an arsehole, going out,
drinking as a young lad, trying to be all macho...
Take your hat off, put it in your pocket right now.
...but things changed for me, really, when I met my wife.
Let's go. Run, run, run. Sprint, sprint.
She's definitely helped me get on the straight and narrow.
Let's go then, start the engine.
Come on, if we stay, we're getting blown to fucking pieces here.
Stay in control of the vehicle.
Oh, fuck, what the fuck was that.
I think there's grenades coming over. What's that car coming...?
Up here. Oh, fuck, what are they doing? Which way...?
Let's go right...! HE YELLS
What's happening? Gonna go right. What the fuck are we going to do?
What's happening behind us? A man at the border.
What the fuck are we going to do? What are we going to do?
HE CONTINUES YELLING I don't know, staff.
Make a fucking decision. Come on. We're going to go back, staff.
Stop! Ah...
TOM SIGHS
Get out. Move to the front.
What the fuck was that?
What was your decision?
I wanted to go back, staff.
You fucked up, didn't you? Yes, staff.
I should have drove at him and got him to move.
Well, should've and could've, you fucking didn't. Consequently,
we're both fucking strung up now, so you failed, didn't you?
Yes, staff. Disappear over there. Go.
You all right, mate? Yeah, I don't want to talk. OK.
You're all right, mate. I know it's fucking rough, that.
All right, get in the vehicles.
TOM: I'm so frustrated at myself.
Just breathe, mate. Yeah.
19.
19... 19.
I saw that coming.
After his emotional reaction on the driving ambush,
the DS want to dig deeper into number 19's background.
Tell us a little something about yourself 19.
What would you like to know, staff?
You got a relationship? You got kids?
I haven't got any kids, but I've got a wife.
You get very emotional, what's up?
I just... My wife's a very, very brave person
and I've seen how strong she is
and I just want to show that I'm strong as well.
What's she been going through?
So, two years ago, we were driving to a birthday party...
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
...and a car, coming round the corner...
...ended up on the wrong side of the road
and we were in a head—on collision.
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
And...
“they managed to get me out...
I had to wait about an hour, not knowing...
Take your time. Yeah, it's all right.
...not knowing if I would see her again
or if she was going to turn up at the hospital.
And when she finally did, they brought her bed in next to mine
and the doctors came in
and they confirmed that she had fractured her spine
in two different places and it was just told to us
that she may never walk again
and time will tell if it will heal or not.
So, for two and a half months, I didn't work
and I just spent every day at the hospital with her.
She's made a great recovery. She's so strong, determined.
She's since ran a half marathon...
HE EXHALES
...and she's training for a marathon which she plans to run next year,
which I'm going to be running with her.
You're through that phase now, right? Mm-hm.
Obviously, it still hurts you and it's still emotional
when you think about it and talk about it, but...
I just don't know if there's something I could've done different.
If I could have seen... Does it matter now?
TOM EXHALES SHAKILY
She's back in a good place, right? Yeah.
You've still got her. Yeah.
And actually, sounds like she's kicking your fucking arse!
She is and that's why I want to prove myself.
And that's a great mindset, but I'm hoping you've got the same,
cos you're going to need it. Yeah.
I let it get to me today.
If you can learn from it, it's not a failure.
So you really think about that tonight. You should learn from this.
Yes, staff.
Guard.
The thing that I love most about Helen,
she's been thrown a lot of challenges
and she's always stayed positive,
always stayed focused and never let anything beat her.
If I'm ever struggling, or things ever feel tough,
I just think about what she had to go through
and how strong she stayed.
All good? Yeah...Yeah.
That's all I need to do and I'll get through it.
If she can do that...
Then, yeah.
Let's go, mountain goats.
Through special forces selection...
Keep going! ..everything about you will be exposed.
Yes. I'm proud of you. Give me some. Thank you.
You better not stop again or I'm dropping your ass.
You must trust one another...
Wait for your partner! ..implicitly.
Go to...
