Walk forward. Walk, walk, walk. Sit down.
The hardest battle in the Special Forces
is the one you'll face in your mind.
Guard! Lose that battle, and you won't last two seconds.
Turn around.
Let's move! Come on, then!
In this series... All the way!
..15 celebrity recruits...
Argh! Shut up!
..have been taken to the other side of the world...
Please! The only way these celebrities are going to
find their potential is to make their lives a living hell.
What's happening? There isn't going to be an easy way out.
Crawl, crawl!
They'll be put through the most gruelling stages of SAS selection...
Good boy.
..by an elite team of ex special forces soldiers.
Go on, Bob, fight back!
Stripped of all home comforts,
they will be pushed further than ever before.
Oh, my God, if I pass this course I'd be as happy as a dog
with two dicks. But it's going to be a challenge.
Take it, Jenna! I'd like to think of myself as a bit of a hard nut.
But probably when I'm out there I might crumble like a pastry.
No allowances or exceptions will be made.
I'm actually a member of the most unpopular family in the country.
Come on!
So, whatever happens I can survive.
Dig deep. Let's go! There you go!
Ah! I can't do it! No other test asks as much...
You don't want to give it a go? No. Are you sure? I can't do it.
..or means as much...
Look at me. Don't give up. Stay in the game.
Get your head up. Head up, head up!
..to the few who make it through.
If you want to be here, then use the pain.
You're made of tough stuff. Thank you, Staff.
It's not that cold, is it? It's chilly.
Where are the boys?
Don't worry, I'm coming with you.
The celebrity recruits are almost halfway through the course.
Friends that shit together, stay together! Hi, my name's Cherry.
Oh, Cherry, it's so lovely to meet you.
Would you like to shit with me?! No!
For the next 24 hours, number eight, Anthony, will be the duty recruit.
Everyone settle down please. I'm going to be a prick today,
by the way, cos I want us to be bang on it.
So, everyone settle down. The dry room door's been open.
Yeah. We've been here for four days now. In a drying room,
that's where our things dry. Yeah.
Please be considerate.
Get on parade!
Come on, let's go everyone. Come on.
Switch on. All right, let's go.
Check yourself as you run.
Check yourself. Go, go, go, line up. Line up, line up.
Right, let's go. Everyone, when the DS comes out,
stand like you want to be here. Proud, head up and chest up, OK?
Yep.
You all good? ALL:Yes, Staff.
As we enter this new phase,
we're going to be testing your nerve.
What does that mean?
It means being in an uncomfortable environment
and being able to produce a result.
And the way we do that is by holding our nerve. Does that make sense?
ALL:Yes, Staff.
When the chips are down, hold it together,
take a breath, control that fear and win the day.
And on that note, go!
Let's go!
Three in each wagon, two in the rear wagon.
In the Special Forces we are constantly faced
with situations where we could lose our lives.
You seeing what I'm seeing here? What are you seeing?
Huge crane hanging out in the water.
What does that mean?
Oh, it's not a bungee jump, is it?
Oh, we're going to have to be dangled into water.
We need to know if people can deal with that pressure.
Get a move on. Closing in. Get on with it.
You need to know in yourself that you have the ability
to control your emotions.
And that's why we throw them into tasks that really do scare
the living shit out of them.
Take your Bergens off. Drop 'em behind you.
Listen in to me.
In the Special Forces world,
getting to the battle is as dangerous
and scary as it is being in the battle.
In one particular mission we had 18 people killed
in one helicopter crash.
We have to be ready for things going wrong.
Every method of insertion we use,
we have what we call immediate action drills.
Drills that you will be taught.
Look over my shoulder, and continue to do that.
In a task taken from military training,
the recruits will be put through a simulated version
of being trapped under water in a downed helicopter.
Let the water come all the way into the cab
and up to as far as your neck.
That is where you will take your last breath.
The helicopter will be submerged five metres below the surface
into near freezing water.
After a minimum of 15 seconds,
they will be signalled by DS Foxy to make their escape.
But before they resurface,
they must retrieve a life jacket secured in the back.
Rudy on surface. OK.
In order to pass this test, you'll remain calm.
You will fail it by fucking up any of those drills, or drowning.
Number 15 to me.
Let's go.
Get your armband on. Buffoon!
First up is number 15, Bobby.
OK, number 15. Yes, Staff.
You all right? Yes, Staff. Sure? Yes, Staff.
In you get. Sit in the co-pilot's seat.
If I have to be in the sea, I will.
But I'm much more suited to being on a Lilo.
Right, keep your eyes open at all times. Understood?
Yes, Staff. You good? Yes, Staff.
Good luck. You're going to need it. Thank you, Staff.
The thing that worries me about the sea is you don't know
what's underneath.
You've got it.
Oh, fucking hell.
Which is ironic, cos I wanted to be the Little Mermaid
when I was younger.
BREATHES SHAKILY
What's that? Catch your breath.
HE GASPS
Before the DS signals to exit, number 15 Bobby
panics and struggles to release his seat belt...
..exiting through the wrong door.
15, OK.
I can't.
Quick as you can, number 15, all the way in.
Drop the asset on the floor. Drop it. Straight there.
Come here. You panicked when you went in there.
You panicked when the water came in.
You need to be calm and composed under pressure, yeah?
Yes, Staff. Use your instincts. You shut your eyes.
I know. I didn't want to... You shut up and listen.
Yes, Staff. Then, you went out the wrong door. That's a fail.
Yes, Staff.
Straight over there. Sort your kit out.
Quickly, 15!
Strip out of that wet kit. Get warm. Let's go.
How was it, Bob?
I just fucked it up. I panicked.
You've got to go out the right door.
I went out the wrong door. Still though, Bob, well done,
it's never easy going first.
Oh, darling. PANICKED BREATHING
Come on, darling. I can't do that. You can. You can, you can, honestly.
Have a little moment. Get yourself together.
You can do it. You can.
Promise you.
You are more than capable of doing this. Come here.
Number eight!
Next to step into the cockpit... Let's go. Hustle.
..is number eight, Anthony.
You all right? Yes, Staff. Take a seat...
..in flight, Death flight 666.
I'm most well known for being a boxer in the Olympics.
People often misjudge me and think I'm this,
or cos I was a boxer, I've got to be that.
Stay composed. Calm your nerves. Calm your breathing.
Hold your breath, eyes open. Look forward.
I'm a big, cuddly, soft, sensitive, nice person...
Go, eight.
I fucking love ya.
..that will smash your face in if you're a prick.
That's basically me.
You good? Yes, Staff.
A lot of this is the ability to keep calm and deep breaths,
isn't it?
Well, not deep breaths.
Well, no,
but your last deep breath before, before you go under.
Eight, OK! Yes!
OK, well done number eight, swim to the DS.
You held your nerve. Yeah?
You did exactly what you were asked to do.
Fucking good effort, number eight. It was good to see.
Thank you, Staff. Get over there and get sorted.
Well done, mate. If you go in there thinking this is going to be easy,
it's easy.
Fucking hell.
I've been in a situation whilst in the Special Forces
when I've been trapped underwater.
And it's fucking scary.
It's just cold, OK? OK, OK. Don't cry.
It is an alien world, being underwater.
Not being able to breathe
and knowing you can't get to the surface.
Your internal organs are screaming for oxygen.
The only thing I can remember was me thinking,
to panic now, that's it. I'm fucked.
I basically composed myself, found out what I'd hooked up on,
and then was able to free it.
And then go up to the surface.
If I'd have tried fighting that, in my blind panic,
I would have ended up drowning.
I actually can't believe I just did that.
You did that so quickly. You was out in about three seconds.
I can't, I actually, I actually feel really,
really, really proud of myself. Aw, come here!
There's lots of things that can go wrong, and you need not to panic.
Fuck me. That was impressive. It was brilliant to see.
Yes, Staff.
Keep up the good work. That's a strong pass.
Yes, Staff. Thank you, Staff. Dress over there.
Well done, number seven!
Get out here, number one.
Down to me, let's go.
PANICKED BREATHING
Oh, God, it's...it's absolutely heart breaking.
Number one, former gymnast Ellie, is next.
You don't want to give it a go? No!
Are you sure? I can't do it!
I am pretty mentally tough,
but then I just have my moments where I can be really weak
and just crumble.
But I hope I can just keep that at bay
and really just take on every challenge.
Staff.
Hey, number one, you're on deck. Number one,
come on now. You're on deck. All right, one minute.
You all get amongst her.
What do you want to do, One?
Hey, number one, you're on deck. Number one,
come on now. You're on deck. All right, one minute.
You all get amongst her.
After being called to face the heli-dunk,
number one, Ellie, is struggling.
What do you want to do, One? Listen up, One.
You've got to make a choice, and we don't have much time,
you understand? We got training to do.
Stand up.
What do you want to do, One? Look at me in the eye.
What do you want to do, One?
VW.
Give me your armband.
Get some warm layers on top of you. Get your jacket back on. Gloves.
Number one, Ellie Downie,
is the fifth recruit to leave the course.
But don't let this fucking change your mindset. Yeah? Please.
Number five. The Messiah arrives! Take your seat.
Yes, Staff.
Heavenly flight.
Next up is number five, Pete.
That door is closed and locked.
You're never to come out that door again.
I am mentally a lot stronger than I'm physically.
I would say it's probably sort
of about 90% mental and 10% physical.
Good luck. Thank you, Staff.
I am starting to get what would be described as a beer belly.
And tits.
You good?
But maybe I'll do something that I'm actually proud of.
Because there hasn't been much of that.
Fuck. Shit!
Having only managed four seconds under water,
number five Pete resurfaces without the life jacket.
Quick as you can, number five. Talk us through what happened.
I just couldn't get my breath
and I thought I had more time and just misjudged it.
Fucked it. I apologise, Staff.
You need to be composed.
Yes, Staff.
You panicked. Yep.
You were shaking like a shitting dog,
and you got yourself out of there. It's a fail.
Yes, I understand, Staff. Dress over there.
You all right? No, I'm all right.
You sure? Yeah, I promise you.
OK, get your head back in the game when you can, all right?
Get ready to move.
So strip out, rewarm, get that dry kit on.
I'll tell you who I am shocked with is number five.
What was his deal on that?
He fucking... He did two seconds and flapped like fuck
and just Polarised out. OK. Let's get out of here.
Let's go. One behind the other.
Come on, Five, keep going. Come on, let's go quick, let's go.
All right, guys? What happened with you?
Fucked it. That was really poor.
And that fucks me off. I struggle with getting
the shit like that out of my head.
Cos that's fucking terrible.
Do your kit and then do yourself.
And as always, be on alert to go. OK?
Thank you, darling.
Prediction for later on?
Night something.
I don't know, Rachel.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I'm...I'm fucked off, but I'm all right.
Why are you fucked off? You're fine. You're here. Yeah.
Number five!
Pete, number five you're needed.
I've just run back. He wants number five.
Yes, Staff.
Go into the, uh, med room. Yes, Staff.
Oi.
Smile.
Disappointed, Staff. Shut up!
Concerned that number five, Pete, might be a VW risk...
KNOCKS AT DOOR
..the DS send him to see psychologist Dr Alia.
So, how are you?
Uh...
Not good today, Staff, I don't think.
OK.
I wanted to do really well this morning,
and mental toughness and keeping calm and...
..and they're things that I've always thought
I was quite good at. And I lost the plot this morning.
And I think my head's gone a little bit. Not a good day.
I'm sorry to hear. You know, sometimes when we see ourselves
on the edge, all we remember is the failure.
But you've done some exceptional things as well, I'm sure.
What is one thing that you're proud of?
See, that's quite a hard one for me cos I don't...
I'm not particularly proud...
Mm-mm. ..of anything that I've done.
OK. I need you to work on that.
To hold respect for yourself. So, you have to find it now.
What is one thing that you're proud of in yourself?
That I've always been there for my mum.
She suffers with bipolar.
There was some really low, some really low times.
Um...
My mum tried to take her own life. Uh...
I'm sorry. When I was young, when I found her.
Um...
That was a tough time for kind of everyone.
My mum and dad had just divorced, and my dad had left.
I don't really have a relationship with my dad.
It's just me and my mum, and we've had some shitty times,
but we've always stuck together. And...
What do you think she would tell you if she was sitting here
on this chair with you? Sorry.
To boost you up?
She'd tell me she was proud of me, I think.
And she'd tell me that my nan was.
I haven't really spoken about it...
..but my nan was my best friend.
She died last year. Um...
And since then...
Sorry. That's OK.
Yeah, I just, uh, I'm just struggling.
I'm talking to you on a difficult day,
and yet you're here.
You made it past the point that you exited last time.
What do you discover about yourself so far?
I've started to overthink everything.
Right.
Where do you want your focus to be?
My focus needs to be on the present.
Perfect.
So, you choose what follows next.
Yes, Staff. What are you doing next?
If I do have to go out,
I want to go out knowing that I tried,
and I did the best that I could.
But until I've done that, then I'm not going anywhere.
Good. Focus on your intent,
and what you want out of it as opposed to
the moments of failure. All right? Yes, Staff.
Thank you. Thank you. OK.
Thank you, Five. Thank you, Staff.
My nan was the only person that I've ever fully trusted,
and the only person that's always continually been there.
And, uh, yeah, she's obviously not here.
I don't have that safety net no more.
Oh, would you run with me to the toilet quickly, please? Yes.
Thank you, babes.
I love the level of politeness!
It's time, especially now, to find a way
to get through things on my own.
But maybe I'll prove to myself that I can be the person I want to be.
Do you think in a way we've become a bit intu...
what's the word called? Instu...intutionalised?
Institutionalised. Yeah.
Oh. I think we've become that.
The ten remaining celebrity recruits are halfway through the course.
Bob, why are you laying like you're Joan Collins on a chaise longue?
Because I'm...I'm airing. I'm airing the old...
I'm airing the feet.
Airing the trotters out? Yeah, I've got the trotters out!
Right, across the top you see there is Team Alpha,
directly below is Team Bravo.
For the final task of the phase,
the DS have split the recruits into two teams,
to test their nerve when working together.
Number two is the team leader for Alpha,
and Bravo team leader, number seven.
They meet with ex Special Forces psychologist Dr Alia
to get her insight on the teams.
Let's start with Team Bravo. Chronological order, if you want.
Suggestions or thoughts?
For Team Bravo, number seven.
I mean, he's an athlete, right?
He's got a couple of individuals in the team that are going to
really struggle physically.
I want to see if he's going to pull himself out of his
perfectionistic mindset and pull them together as a team.
Five is looking very fragile.
The primary worry I have about number five
is that through this process he's come close
to emotions that he hasn't allowed himself to feel
in a long, long time. Yeah.
So, a heavy burden for him to carry.
But we'll keep an eye on him.
Team Alpha, good name for it.
You have at least two very strong alphas in the group.
Number two, a female version of it.
We have seen her hold herself back a little bit,
but that's because her physical vulnerabilities have gotten
in the way of it.
What I'm really looking forward to is seeing how number eight
handles his impatience of other people that he sees
as weaker than himself.
He'll end up getting frustrated with a number of them.
Can he manage his anger
and harness it so that he can actually help
the team move forward as one?
As opposed to singlehandedly barge forward and burn others out.
Interesting. Cheers, Alia. Thank you. OK, all rise.
OK, get on parade. Full kit, ready to go.
You all right? Right, come on, team, let's get going, get going!
Let's hustle, let's hustle, let's hustle!
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on, let's go. Come on, teams, let's go, let's hustle,
let's hustle.
Let's get everyone cleaned up. Look around you,
look at the person on your left and your right.
Everybody good to go? Yes, Staff.
OK, team event, the next task. There will be two teams.
Team Alpha, number two, you are the team leader.
In your team will be number eight, number three...
..number nine, and number 15.
Team Bravo, team leader, number seven.
Yes, Staff.
In your team is number ten, number 14,
number 12, and number five.
Does everybody know what team they're in? ALL:Yes, Staff.
Yeah? Go!
Bravo, behind me, behind me. Yeah.
So you all know. Go ahead. Cherry, I'm behind you.
In the Special Forces, we know by keeping calm
we can navigate any battle space and we can succeed.
We've got to fucking win this. We've got to win this.
The key to success is that the whole team...
Come on then, out of the wagons!
..keeps cool, stays motivated, and follows the leader.
Two ranks of five in front of me.
Two rows of five. My team, just follow me.
Team Alpha, can you give me a hand, please?
I'll get it, I'll get it. Thank you, team-mates.
Thank you so much. Right, follow me.
Line up in a rank, please.
Special Forces operations,
normally what happens is us lot get dropped behind enemy lines
with a shitload of kit,
and we are expected to move with purpose and speed
into areas of operation.
You need good leadership.
You need to be able to hold your nerve.
Cos half the time it is brutal. Are you with me so far?
ALL:Yes, Staff.
In this task, both teams must carry an 86 kilogram boat
two and a half kilometres through a riverbed system
across rough terrain.
How you carry it is up to you.
However, I wouldn't be dragging it, cos they're made of rubber.
All right? Yes, Staff.
All hands on deck.
Team Alpha will be led by number two...
Just...I'm just de-fleecing.
..Rachel.
I don't think I'm a natural boss.
I don't think the Johnson DNA is really executive DNA.
As the country has seen!
Come on, team, come on.
Team two. Is that your fleece, is that your fleece, Rachel?
Yeah, it is. All right, come on.
I mean, we can be team players,
but probably not the best team players.
Oi, Rachel, how do you want to do this, Rachel?
You're the governor, come on, how'd you want to do this?
Well, why don't we just have me and Bobby either side.
Yeah, balance it out.
OK. All right. Bobby, come here. OK. Right.
You guys will take... stay at the back.
You two will be in the middle. OK. And I'll be at the front.
Me and Pete at the back? Yeah, you two at the back.
Just keep fucking going, all right? Absolutely.
Leading Team Bravo is number seven, Ovie.
You have to collaborate with other people.
No-one man can build anything worthwhile in this world.
You have to work with other people.
Showtime, baby! Hell, yeah.
Come on, let's move. Let's do it.
All right, let's go, come on, hurry up.
Let's go! You ain't got time to fuck around.
This is a race, let's go!
Where are we going? In the water? Yeah, we're following the DS.
Yeah, you're going in the water!
That's what you got a boat for. Right here, let's go!
Give it to him. Hold the back up, we can't let it touch the bank
on the way down.
Push! Push!
Push!
Taking an early lead is Team Alpha.
You got a lead now, let's go!
Get away from 'em!
My entire life, I've been a solo athlete.
Boxing, wrestling, always very individual.
No, no, no, no, no. Rachel's authority.
Let's go. Say it. One, two, three. Up!
I learned a long time ago the one person you can really count on
in life is yourself.
And I've rarely let myself down.
Lift it! Urgh!
Let's go, number two, they're waiting for you, let's go!
Ten, nine, eight!
I don't give up. And when I want something,
I want it, and I work very hard to get it.
Get out here, let's go!
Trailing 30 metres behind Alpha is Team Bravo.
Everyone go up front. Everyone go up front,
and just walk with me. Two on the inside. All right.
Here we go. One, two, three. Go. Let's keep it moving.
Having instructed his team to switch positions,
number seven Ovie is now carrying the heaviest part of the boat.
Guys... Good leadership!
You lot are dragging me through this.
I think the biggest benefit of playing basketball professionally
is, you know, a competitive nature, but working in a team.
Keep this rig up. Oh!
I'm so sorry for dropping it on you.
You're not sorry. You're the fucking man.
Five, four, three, two, one,
we go!
With number seven Ovie taking the lion's share
of the weight, Team Bravo are gaining ground.
Come on, guys. Come on. We're catching them.
They're fading, Bravo! Push the fucking thing, come on.
Everybody has to get involved, everybody!
Motivate 'em, two, make 'em move. Let's go. Let's go.
Come on, Team Alpha.
Try and avoid these bloody brambles.
Fuck the brambles. Just drive through them.
Supposed to be fucking Special Forces operators.
Go on.
20 minutes into the race,
and Team Bravo have Team Alpha in their sights.
Let's pass 'em, let's go, Five.
Come on, let's go. Go. Let's go.
Let's go! Come on! Come on!
Destroy their will to fight.
You've got it.
One, two, three, go!
No, you go at the back.
One, two, three, go.
Ant, why don't you go at the back like Ovie?
Number eight, Anthony, ignores team leader Rachel's order
to take the heaviest part of the boat at the back,
allowing Bravo to pull further ahead.
I'm fucking telling you, if you do not beat them,
you are going to go twice the distance. Oh, God.
Come on. Team, come on, please. Lift the fucking boat.
I can't carry this fucker, I can't carry this fucker.
What's the matter? Well, we need everyone to do their bit.
Why are we waiting? They're steaming ahead!
We can't say, we can't do it, come on. On my count.
One... One, two, three, lift. Now walk.
One, two. One, two.
Keep going, keep going, you're closing the gap!
When you are carrying vital supplies to the front line...
Move it!
..everybody is expected to do their part.
Everybody, 100%!
We are all looking for different ingredients
in every single person within that team.
And the leader needs to lead with purpose.
One, two, three.
ALL GROAN
Wait, wait, wait. Shit! Push, fucking push it!
And you, as part, of the team...
Push it! Yes! Oh, fuck.
Yes, get over. You good?
..have to let the person lead.
It's not about a one person trip and an ego.
It's about getting the job done.
I've got all this by myself. Rachel, what are you doing?
Are you trying hard? Are you giving 100%?
You... I am happy if you want to order, organise this.
Are you giving 100%? I'm trying to.
Good, let's march. So do we have a yes or no? Yes.
Let's go!
One, two, three. Yes, Bianca. That's it!
Over. Push! YELLING
Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop. Stop!
Stop, stop, stop.
YELLING Fuck, get out!
You fucking clowns! Now sort it out. Fucking idiots!
Ant, are you all right? Do you want some water?
Go again. Hold on. Let's go again.
Keep going. Put it down? No, you're fine, that's it.
That's it, you're good. You're good, you're good.
All right, well done.
For the next part of the task,
they must row the boat 300 metres across a lake to a peninsula.
Stroke! We're going to them over there.
Over to them. Stroke, stroke.
An hour into the race, and Team Bravo...
That bank, that bank! This bank here, look.
This bank here, this bank here! Straight ahead.
..reach the shoreline first.
Give us a big push.
Let's go, get on the boat! Get in.
Team Alpha are into the water a minute behind Bravo,
but are catching up fast.
Go! Go!
That's it. Come on, Oxford!
Right, keep hold of the boat. Everyone out.
Come on, then, everything up here.
Come on, Team Alpha.
Come on, then. Let's go!
What are you doing, you clown?
Fucking get out of the way. You're gonna kill yourself!
What, is she under the boat?
Let's go, come on. Short sharp steps. Let's go.
With both teams ashore...
Get the fuck up there!
..they must scramble to get their boats to high ground.
Right, boat down there. Get your...get your Bergens on.
This isn't the end, guys. This isn't the end.
Lean forward. That's it.
Lean forward. Go, all the way in!
Right, get your life jackets off,
Bergens on, let's get ready to move.
All right, let's go. Keep the gaps closed up. Come on!
For the final part of the task,
the teams must leave their boats
and race on foot to the extraction point.
Team Bravo are now just 50 metres ahead.
Follow me, let's go, come on. Let's go.
Come on, Five, close the gap.
I have to do this, and for me, like,
I feel like there's a lot of pressure on me this time.
Good effort, number five.
But I think that ten seconds' euphoria you feel when you overcome
something that you don't think you can do,
that's...that's... that's what you're here for,
isn't it? It's that feeling.
Let's go!
Make sure you're all up here. You're a team.
Why are you walking? Let's go, two, keep pushing.
We're losing your team!
Team Alpha leader, number two Rachel,
has fallen to the back.
I haven't tested my stamina, you know,
I can play tennis for hours,
but these are things anyone should be able to do.
Close the gaps!
But I'm quite prepared to find out that
I'm an absolute hot mess inside and can't cope at all.
Sir... Staff, this isn't... I'm not gonna make it.
OK, what do you want to do? You want to VW? I'm gonna VW.
Give me the armband. I'm just not strong enough for this shit.
I've tried.
You did your best. You did your best.
Thank you. Thank you, Rudy.
Number two, Rachel Johnson,
is the sixth recruit to leave the course.
Good effort, seven. Yes, Staff.
Led by number seven, Ovie...
Come on, five, lean into it.
..Team Bravo finish first.
Right, listen in. It's fucking horrible.
It is horrible. It's supposed to be horrible.
Get your chins up. Be proud that somehow you made it.
All right, get in the vehicles. Get in the vehicles.
Come on, come on. Come on. Heads up, let's go.
Let's go. Do not walk!
Let's go. Let's go. Where's the last man?
Still to finish are Team Alpha.
Fucking gone. Stay with me.
Stay with me. Let's go. The transport's gone!
Come on, come on.
After arriving in second place and missing the transport...
Let's go!
..they must make their own way back to base on foot.
Big run. We're gonna speed it up. On my ask!
I need my inhaler.
I've got nothing left in the tank at the moment.
On my ask, now!
Let's go eight, switch the fuck on!
Right, get in the accommodation.
Fucking sort your feet out. Chill out. Good effort.
After winning the task,
Team Bravo are first to return to the camp.
Oh! Can we celebrate now?
Yeah. Not too loudly, but we... Quietly, silently.
I can't believe I'm alive!
Just celebrating that feeling!
That was absolutely awful.
Shoot! That was beastie!
I think you might be the strongest person I've ever met in my life.
And I've met some really strong people.
But I swear I've never seen anything like what I saw today.
You know what? I did a TV show with the world's strongest man,
Eddie Hall. Yeah. You were stronger than him.
Oh, no, no, no! Leadership. You were stronger, yeah.
You were such a good leader as well.
Yeah. You were such a good leader.
Jog straight in. Direct to your dorm.
Go right! Go right! Direct, I said.
Five seconds! One, two, three!
Argh! I know. You did it.
Yeah? You're a fucking warrior, you.
Come on. Come on. Let it out.
I got to go again. I got to get ready to go again.
Where is everyone?
In the dry room.
Argh! OK.
OK, Chris, mate, can you do the honours?
Day four, phase four. OK, the theme today is "nerve".
Got ready for task two of the day, which was the race to base.
And, Foxy, do you want to take us through that, mate?
I'll debrief Bravo.
Number seven is an absolute ox,
and did, as he should do as a leader, a lot of the work.
Five put in a shift, he was there motivating,
trying to encourage,
remained switched on all the way to the finish.
Which is huge.
He's gotten over quite a few of the hurdles within himself,
which would've been completely unexpected.
OK, I'll just quickly whizz through Team Alpha.
Obviously Two was the leader, and it didn't take long,
probably about 15 metres, and then it was pretty obvious
she wasn't gonna be leading much longer.
In terms of number eight, a total Alpha male.
Took over. And this is where it started to go all wrong.
Two, she had some smart ideas, but no way of enforcing it,
because number eight just had to take over and did take over.
To me, he appears a little bit arrogant.
So, aggression and grit are the sorts of things that he sees
as strength, and he over relies on them at times.
We know that these can be misplaced if you are in the wrong context.
I think he thinks it's all, you know,
wop-bop-chop, John Wick, door kicking.
I think that's what he thinks it is. He forgets that...
Yeah. ..this is a team freaking community.
And if you can't get on with each other
and have respect for rank, boundaries,
then you're...you're gonna be no use to us.
Let's have a little closer look at him,
and see what we can dig out of him.
Oh, great job. You've done a great job today.
That was really beasty, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. It wasn't easy.
Oh, it looks amazing.
For finishing first in the task,
Team Bravo are rewarded with a hot meal in the mess.
Right, big man, what can I get you?
Oh, just... Do you want to just take the tray?
Oh, bruv. Thanks, bruv.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
That's rabbit. Oh, nah. I can't do that.
Ojo's gonna have to cut it.
For losing, Team Alpha must make their own meal on the campfire.
Do you know what? I'll do it. I'll take it for the team.
OK, you do that, Bob. I'll do the old vegetables.
Never in my life did I think I'd be chopping up Roger Rabbit.
Oh, yuck.
Bobby, you are vicious with that knife.
This has been the maddest few days.
You've got to laugh,
we're eating fucking Watership Down!
Thumper! Don't say...!
Recruit number eight!
Number eight!
Number eight.
What's that?
Following his lack of composure on the last task...
Retired...
..the DS want to speak with number eight, Anthony.
His professional boxing career was hampered by a serious eye injury.
There's some steps here in front of you. Steps? Yeah.
Stand still, hands by your side.
Take your hat off.
Come a little bit closer, so.
What have you done to the side of your face there?
I'm not sure. Someone said I had some blood on there,
but I don't know. All right.
You haven't been beating yourself up, have you? No! All right.
How are you feeling?
Right now I feel like a right bag of shit!
That's all right.
Why did you come here?
Um...
I was a boxer for a long, long time and there was an animal,
there's a beast side of me that I got to display every single day.
I got to be this beast.
And I liked that side,
and I thought, essentially I came here cos I wanted
to see if that beast still lived inside me.
The beast? The beast over-fucking-took you today!
The beast was ruling you. We don't need that.
I can tell you've had a lot of anger in your life.
And I can read behind you now. It's still there.
Growing up, tell us a bit about it?
Look, let's just get something straight as well.
We're gonna ask you a lot of questions.
We need to get to know you. If there's something
you're uncomfortable with, and you don't want to talk about...
No, no, no. And we're not fucking judging you.
We really do want to get to know you. All right?
Um, so like, yeah, I had a difficult upbringing.
My childhood was equally amazing as it was violent.
I've got the most amazing mum who is my hero.
I've got four sisters.
And I had a very violent, abusive dad,
that wasn't really in the picture.
And he'd come back on the weekend, one weekend every four or five weeks
and...
..end up beating the shit out of me, and then go back to his life.
And, yeah, wanted him to love me and play with me.
And, erm, and, yeah, give me the attention
that I so desperately needed.
And, erm...
Yeah, still now, as a 33-year-old man,
I want the respect of Alpha men.
I want some tribal acceptance, because I never got it as a kid.
I want you to think I'm good enough.
I want you to think,
"Oh, he's, you know, he fits in." You know?
For us, as the DS, we do want people to pass tasks,
obviously.
But we are more interested in seeing how you bounce back
from a failure.
Yeah, understood.
That will show you you've still got that fighting fucking spirit,
which we know you have, but it will be different.
All right? Don't make it all about you.
Make it about the team when it needs to be the team.
That's when true characters come out. You know, not just the anger.
Yes, Staff.
Guard!
Hands together.
I like to think I'm a very strong, resolute person.
Some steps here.
Growing up, it was very difficult.
My dad used to belt me with the belt buckle, I remember.
Mum would come down to protect me. My sisters would protect me.
My grandad said to me, you are the man of the house now.
You've got to look after your mum and your sisters.
I was four, five maybe.
I haven't shown them the worst version of myself,
like, I've shown them a version of myself that isn't even,
that's not even me.
But today, you were pushed to the extreme.
That's really upset you, hasn't it?
Proper pissed me off. Fucking really upset.
I'm here doing this course cos in life you have a choice.
You can stay down, or you can get back up.
And I always choose to get back up
and carry on fighting for the thing I want most.
What's happening? We're getting shot at!
Shit, what's going on?
In the Special Forces, it can go to an absolute shitshow
in the space of a nanosecond.
I want to see maximum effort.
We need to know that they can stay in control to get the job done.
I can't breathe.
