This program me contains very strong language from the start and throughout.
Put your hands by your side. Step across that way.
SAS selection is a test like no other.
SHE EXHALES HEAV“)!
People who wonder if the celebrities will get any special treatment...
SIGHS DEEPLY
Yeah, they are gonna get some special treatment,
they're going to get extreme temperatures,
pain, dehydration.
This is not going to be lnstragrammers in the wild.
Go, go, go'
Hurry UP-
In this series...
Oh, my legs.
Quit your moaning.
Get in there now!
...14 celebrity recruits...
You disgust me.
...will leave their glamorous lives behind.
Come on, Bambi, hurry up.
THEY GRUNT All. the way.
Don't stand around with your attitude cos I'm clone with it.
Do you understand me?
They will be put through the most gruelling stages of selection...
Let's go!
Hit him!
Go!
...by an elite team of ex-special forces soldiers from the UK and USA.
Perfect.
Suffer in silence.
No allowances or exceptions will be made.
Sometimes in life, you've got to just woman up
and what's the worst that could happen?
I need help.
Forget designer labels and 5-star hotels.
HE GAGS, COUGHS
In the desert it's going to be sand, sweat and tears.
Has he knocked himself out?
No other test asks as much...
Pick her up now, seven.
Come on, you just smashed that and you're going to smash this, OK?
Proud of you, right?
...or means as much...
I have to take your armband if you don't feel right. B-... Shut up.
...to the few who make it through.
Drive, yeah, all the way to the end now.
I'm proud to have you on my team. So, am I.
Then there was ten.
The fifth phase of the selection course is about to begin.
Of the 14 celebrity recruits that started, ten remain.
I've definitely lost weight. My waist is falling off of me.
First time I've had abs in ever.
Oh, oh, wow. Shit.
That's it, yes.
Recruits, get on the square.
Guys, make sure everything's packed away.
All right, let's go. We've got training to do.
Get there ten, get there 14.
We've worked hard on individual qualities and tests.
Now, an individual cannot win a war alone.
Teamwork is critical for mission success.
However, that goes right or wrong on a mission
sits on the team leader's shoulders.
We're going to set up two new team leaders.
Alpha and Bravo here, facing me.
Alpha team leader, 14.
Retried footballer, number 14, Ashley,
will lead Team Alpha.
Bravo team leader, 12.
And former EastEnders actress, number 12, Maisie,
will lead Team Bravo.
I've always been like marmite - you either love me or you hate me.
I prefer to let people know who I am and let them judge me
and still be who I wanna be.
I'm here to find out about myself.
I'm here to get shit clone.
All of you take four paces back.
I have no idea how people see me
cos I just assume you just take one look at me
and think, "Oh, cocky little Essex girl", which is true.
But, there's a lot more to me that people don't know.
Behind Alpha, three...
...four.
Five...
...11.
Bravo, one...
...six, eight...
...and ten.
Good to go. Meet me out here, let's go.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Fall out. Fall out.
Team Alpha, let's do this.
Come on, leader.
There's many approaches to leadership.
You have to have such a strength and resolve
of who you really are.
I'm a bit nervous.
Just be ruthless.
It is a combination of mental skills,
people skills and, of course, the physicality.
Yeah, we're gonna unite there today.
Hell, yeah, we are. We're gonna pull together.
Bring it on.
Leadership's not just one thing - it's everything.
The recruits have been brought to the Gulf of A cab a...
Hurry UP-
...where they'll be tested on their teamwork
and their leader's ability to command.
I need you two to pay attention.
Your mission is to move yourselves
and your kit from one side of the obstacle to the other -
in as quick a time as possible.
Parameters are people can get wet, the kit cannot get wet.
That is mission essential.
Right, let's go.
Stepping up for her first test as leader is Maisie with Team Bravo.
I was on EastEnders for 13 years, which is alll can remember.
I sometimes think I'm more comfortable being Tiffany
than I am being Maisie.
In you come.
The good thing about being an actress is that I know
how to look confident.
In reality, I have no idea what I'm doing.
So, the plan is we're gonna get two swimmers
to go that way... Yep. ..to go across.
Ancl you know about ropes, right? Yep.
So I'll get you to go over there.
The recruits have just 50 minutes
to move 13 pieces of kit between two pontoons,
using a zip line which they must construct.
So that rope needs to be secured the same - through this -
to something that is solid, that's not gonna move,
a lamppost or something.
Five minutes already gone.
You two will get going across, take the rope across.
I'll jump in, you throw it to me,
I'll tie it to my jacket and then I'll swim.
OK, throw it to me, I'll throw it to you when you get in.
Team leader Maisie sends number eight, Aj...
Burning daylight.
...and number one, Jennifer, across to the opposite pontoon
25 metres away to secure the zip-line.
One, two, three.
People will think that I am crazy doing this
because I do like to have a nice hot bath.
I do like to have my hair clone and my nails clone.
I know I'm not the fittest. I'm 38 years of age.
And I'm not superwoman.
But I will work my backside off.
All right, number one, listen in.
Get your feet in the rungs that are underneath the surface.
SHE GROANS
Go on.
Get your other foot up in the next rung.
It's like climbing, have you climbed a ladder before?
Yeah. Right.
It's like steps, only vertical.
Hurry UP-
Right, walk your legs up the ladder.
There you go, there you go!
Do you wanna swim across? Get in there, get in there.
With three recruits on the far pontoon...
Hurry UP-
...Team Bravo now has 35 minutes to set up the pulley system
and move all the kit across.
Think about it logically.
I knew you'd figure that out.
OK, we've got good teamwork now.
Pull, pull, pull. Pull, pull, pull, pull!
Three, two, one, pull...
Three, two, one, pull.
Let's go, let's go, let's go. Let's go, let's go.
Clip it on, let it go and get over there.
OK, give us two bergens and one bit of kit. That's it.
Get it going, get it going fucking get it going.
Pull, pull, pull, pull! Keep pulling!
Yes, we got it, we got it.
With the kit safely across...
OK, jump in. You've got four minutes, let's go!
Maisie and number ten, jade, must swim to
the opposite pontoon to join their team-mates.
Let's go, 12.
Just start reaching.
30 seconds.
Just walk up.
Get up there!
OK. Team Bravo 49 minutes, all the equipment,
all the team safely across.
Task complete.
Good shit, Bravo.
OK.
It's now the turn of Alpha's team leader,
Ashley, to demonstrate his command skills.
Let's get on with it.
He will need to work fast to beat Team Bravo's
impressive performance.
I think a good leader has to be strong.
Somebody that can drive the team.
I've always been confident in my ability and I wanna win.
So I suggest that Cal maybe and Fatima,
or you and Ferne or...
Can you swim? Or I'll go over... I'm happy to, I'm happy to.
I don't mind swimming.
You stay for some manpower.
Fatima, do you know how to set up the equipment?
I don't know exactly.
If anyone knows exactly then they should be the one that goes.
Do you know what, yeah, let me swim over?
We've just got to get shit done.
14, make a decision!
Calum, you, can you do it?
Fuck, I'm worried about the swim, I'm not gonna lie.
Let me, let me do it, then. No, don't, don't.
Get it clone. Pencil drop, pencil drop.
Right, that's about seven minutes and all I've seen is a cluster fuck.
We've got one rope across there. Right, shall I go?
RUDY: Don't make it harder than it needs to be.
We go through immense training doing river crossings.
It teaches teamwork, it teaches communication,
it teaches personal grit.
You manage that then now, yeah? Let me get my harness on.
Actually, no, don't need it.
We're looking for a leader that can make a plan
and as the plan starts to fall apart, they need to be able to
problem-solve on-the-fly in a very difficult environment.
Before you turn it into a snake's wedding, look at what you've got.
Yeah, but I'm trying to work out how...which line.
When the team loses faith in their team leader, the mission is clone.
Everything falls apart. It's a shit show.
It's just all a bit all over the place, to be honest.
I think it's taking us time to figure out exactly what to do.
What was the brief from the team leader? There wasn't one.
It was a struggle, staff.
Now, look, so where's the pulley, where's the pulley system?
This wire, wait a minute, this wire.
Put this...
Put that on there.
On there. Really?
It's taken Team Alpha 30 minutes to set up the zip line.
We've got to attach a piece of equipment.
Twice as long as Team Bravo.
Pull the line. Pull the line.
Let's go, let's get this moving. Pull!
THEY STRAIN
Oh, it's not going any further than that. Pull!
Yous this side are always going to be pulling weight,
and there's three people over there.
With their zip line sagging and only two recruits on the other side,
Team Alpha is struggling to pull the equipment across.
We need somebody else over there.
Fatima, go. Fatima, go. Come on, let's get some skin in the game.
Let's get some skin in the game.
Get your head out of your ass!
FRUSTRATED GROAN
35 minutes, number 14, and we've got two Jerry cans over.
Ancl one big argument. It's going well.
Pull! Pull!
Right, come on, pull, pull. Pull!
Here's the deal. Time has gone massively against us.
Forget the rest of this kit right now, you've fucked it.
I've never seen such buffoonery.
Ash, I'm gonna go.
With five minutes left, number 11, Shannon,
and team leader Ashley
leave much of the kit behind and race to get across.
Is that... We need all those other boxes. They've all come.
Oh, who panicked?
What a shit show that was. Be careful, OK?
In a maximum of two words, how do you think that went?
ALL: Shit show. Right. It's a failure, right?
ALL: Yes, staff.
Pick up your kit and contemplate
what a massive fucking cluster fuck that was.
Is that everything? Yes. Let's go, guys.
Fuck's sake.
Alpha to the left, Bravo to the right.
What cake would you like, chocolate or...? Chocolate, please.
After winning the task,
Maisie's Team Bravo is rewarded with banana and cake.
OK, enjoy. Thank you. Bravo.
Ashley's losing team, Alpha, get lentils.
I tell you what, if we don't dig in and beat these motherfuckers
in this next challenge, I'm gonna lose my shit.
I'm not having them eat chocolate again like that in front of my face.
Mm, that's the fire.
Right, enjoy your cakes.
Yeah, enjoy your cakes, guys. THEY LAUGH
You can smell them.
OK, babe? Mm? You all right?
The thing is with me, yeah, I don't take this shit personal. No.
But I'm hot, I'm starving, and I lost. Yeah, not a good clay.
Recruits, to the vehicles.
We've got it. Let's go. Out we go.
Keep moving fast, keep moving fast.
You have to want to be here.
First and foremost, to be in the special forces,
you must have discipline
to such an extreme that things happen automatically for you.
Fucking ready for this, yeah? Me too, brother. Ready for this one.
In the extreme heat of the moment,
the team leader must keep control.
If you do not have control of yourself, there's chaos.
Might need help here, mate. Fall in!
Help, I need an arm.
Alpha and Bravo will now face each other in one of the most
confrontational team tasks on the course.
Murder ball.
We're gonna start getting rid of all the weak ones
cos we can't be fucked with you any more.
It looks like you've retreated from Stalingrad.
You've run 300 metres.
Get a gFiP-
Right. Murder ball.
Combat, fighting with the enemy, is an absolute cluster fuck.
You think you've got a plan,
and then you get shot at and it all goes to wank.
You do what you have to do to get the job clone. Does that make sense?
ALL: Yes, staff.
Right, go!
The recruits must fight for possession of a tyre
which they need to drag across their opponents' goal line.
Staff, does that mean punches, head butts, anything allowed?
No punching, no. If they're on the floor, you need a quick dig.
Maybe to the body. Come on, then, hurry up.
Listen, do you think, yeah, when it comes time to chop anybody,
they're gonna be chopping any one of them?
If they've won two challenges in a row?
So if he calls your number, you get the tyre first.
If you don't get to the tyre first and they do,
hit the fucker with the tyre.
First up is number five, Fatima, from Ashley's Team alpha,
versus number one, Jennifer, from Bravo,
who sustained a chest injury early in the course.
Fighting is not something that is in my nature.
I think I'd probably be a bit like this.
It's like literally alien to me.
Let's go!
It's all about who gets there first.
What are you going to do?
Rip it out of her hand!
11, let's go, let's go.
The DS called number 11, Shannon, into the round.
Go on, Shannon.
SHOUTING ENCOURAGEMENT
JENNIFER GROANS
Get her hands off it! Come back, Shannon!
Go, go! Right, stop. Stop!
Get the fuck back, get the fuck back. Guys, are we allowed to punch?
Fuck, a professional boxer!
Don't hit anyone again, I never said hit anyone.
I was told I could punch the body. Who told you to?
He said I could hit the body. No, you can't hit the body!
I fucking make the rules up. Now, get over there.
Shannon, well clone. Use it.
Let's go, now, let's go.
Let's go.
Go, go, go, go!
Go, three, go, three!
Fucking hell! Go!
Good effort.
That's him, leave him.
Right, get up, get HP-
If someone's past the line, don't take them out.
I'm not. What? He was in, staff.
Have you got a problem?
No, staff, no, staff. Then shut up and listen to me.
If I say something, it goes. Yes, staff. You fucking understand?
ALL: Yes, staff.
Next to face off are the two team leaders.
Maisie alongside number eight, A], from Bravo,
versus Ashley, paired with number five,
60-year-old Fatima, from Alpha.
Stay focused. Stay fighting.
If somebody tells me I can't do it, I like to prove them different.
Let's go.
Go, go, go! But I'm not getting any younger.
This old biddy,
I'll give it 100%. And we'll just have to wait and see.
Go, Fatima!
Think about it. Think about it.
Here, over here!
Go, Fatima, go, Fatima, go, Fatima!
Keep going.
Right, that's a win, number five. That's a point.
Where did she come from? Come on!
Well clone, number five.
Come on, well clone.
Flying pension book.
Fatima brings the scores level,
but is in pain.
Right, number five, stand down.
She is instructed to sit out the final round,
which will be between all the other recruits.
Let's go!
GRUNTING Over here!
Think about it!
THEY GRUNT
Has to work it out.
Grab it, grab it, grab it!
THEY GRUNT
Aarghg
Get out from there, get out from under there.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Get out, stop!
Get the fuck off the tyre.
With discipline breaking down,
the DS called time on the task. SHE PANTS
Argh. Get on your feet now, all of you.
Right, go get your bergens. One straight rank.
THEY GRUNT EFFORTFULLY
Staff, I got punched in the rib by a fucking world champion boxer
and it shouldn't have happened. Oi! Don't gob off to us.
I'm not, sir. You are.
Where do you think you are? On a holiday?
No. It's supposed to be fucking hard. Shit goes down.
In the real world, people die! Suck it up.
Go! Let's move! Come on!
Let's go!
Fatima? Yep.
Right. New phase started today - the phase on command.
Foxy, would you do the hon ours?
Murder ball.
There was a lot of people losing their temper,
there was a lot of people getting upset.
Ancl number 1? Let's just say she had a bad day today.
Everybody else is hurting.
Everybody else is doing it.
If you have a serious injury, then you need to go away.
She's skating on thin ice.
And 11?
When I said, "Who the fuck said you could hit?"
She pointed over at one of you two. Yes, I said that, I said that.
That's all right. No, no, it's cool. But, you know...
Either way, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. OK.
You take a bollocking. The bollocking is taken on board.
Like, we just need to try and get her to calm her anger down.
Number 12, I've just got "not bad. "
Think 12 will be one to watch. Yep.
I think, as long as she doesn't fucking get fazed by anything,
she'll probably be bubbling away. She's starting to come through.
Yeah, I clocked her today, she's starting to come through. Yeah.
She's a brilliant, brilliant young woman.
But she has absolutely no confidence.
So 14 was team leader.
Now, as aggressive and as strong as he is,
he's not a very good communicator
and not very good at disseminating information or passing down taskers.
Everybody was on their own sheet of music.
He's showing us a pattern.
He went in too aggressive and he wobbled.
He gives so much and he doesn't know how to dial it back.
It's a common theme with him, is that hot-headedness.
When his fuse is lit, it won't take long for him to go bang.
Yeah. That anger is gonna destroy him.
He's battling something.
Number five, man.
The intention, the grit, the perseverance.
Everything there, but obviously we all know she's behind a power curve
cos of her age. Sure. Physically. Physically.
She's not gonna be here at the end, we know that.
Well done. Proud of ya.
Move! Let's go!
Fatima. Fatima, leave it.
We have been telling you recruits since...
...the second clay we're turning up the heat.
Yesterday I said we were in second gear,
now we're gonna be ripping through the freaking gears.
The heat is getting turned up
and some of you are falling behind.
When I call your number...
...you will step up...
...approach the DS...
...take off your armband and head to medical.
Number five.
Thank you, Staff. Thank you.
Yep. Thank you, gang-
Thanks.
Keep your bearing! I will.
The rest of you, get the fuck off this parade square
and get back in your accommodation. Get moving, number one! Move.
Come here, number five.
We took you off for a reason. Yeah.
Right? And that reason is you have reached more than
anybody else's goals out there.
You've clone enough. There's no need to go any further.
I know you want to, but we've called it.
No, it's fine. We're nearly the same age, right?
Yeah. Ancl I always remember growing up watching you and going,
"What a fucking legend."
You know what? So proud to be here with you.
Yeah, same. Fucking hell.
You are amazing. You are fucking amazing. SHE WINCES
You're hurting, aren't you? Yeah. THEY CHUCKLE
Following the withdrawal of Fatima from the course...
...nine recruits remain.
It's not the end of the road yet.
Still in the game. All right?
Are you finding it hard?
Yeah, of course. Are you?
Fucking, that was awful. I was in absolute bits in the car.
As long as, like, you don't...
As long as you don't hate my guts. As if.
Oh, man.
As if, don't be soft. It's sort of, like, I'm a wimp.
I've never had a fight in my life, Shannon.
That surprises me - you're a scouser. I know.
Number 14!
Yes, Staff!
Concerned about his aggression,
the DS want to dig a little deeper into
the background of recruit number 14, Ashley.
Head to the wall to the right of that door, please.
METALLIC RATTLING CLUN KING
How are you feeling?
It's tougher than I thought it was gonna be. Yep.
It's the whole kind of environment,
something I'm not used to.
I can't truthfully say that I really enjoyed it today,
because I couldn't lead cos I didn't really know what I was doing.
Listen, the team task was a different one.
You were unfortunate.
I'm not giving you a way out here cos you were shite,
but you were right in the weeds.
When you're head's down, no-one's really leading.
When things are starting to not,
that's when you become a real leader. You go, "Right, stop."
Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah. Yes, staff.
I failed the task. I don't like failing.
I'm worried about you in terms of controlled aggression.
I come here for a lot of reasons.
I'm in a bit of a transitional period in my life. Erm...
You all right?
Big breath, brother. Take a breath.
Erm...
I'm, I'm a family man. Always been a family man,
that's what I'm about.
Yeah, it was a chance to start my own family,
had a beautiful little baby girl.
Two months into my daughter being born...
we found out she had a really aggressive form of leukaemia.
She was incredible. She showed strength,
she showed courage.
She's shown everything it takes for a person to get on in this world.
Ancl then, she sadly lost her life on 24th April.
And...she passed away in my arms.
Ancl it's a moment I'll never forget.
One thing I will remember is, every single clay
when my daughter was fighting this disease,
she smiled every clay.
She fought every clay
and she made the most of every single clay,
and that's a lesson that I'll take on to my life.
She didn't have the chance of life that I've got,
that we've got.
Ancl I definitely don't wanna waste mine.
I wanna make her proud.
I wanna show people that no matter what you go through in life,
you can overcome anything.
OK.
It's awful. You're a fucking brave man to be here.
Just keep doing what you're doing, OK? Yes, staff.
Keep going fucking strong. It's gonna get harder.
You're gonna get shouted at.
You're gonna have the barometer up there,
you've got to control it.
Just keep fucking digging deep.
It ain't gonna get no easier though.
Wouldn't want it to. Wouldn't want it to.
Guard.
The clay that my little girl was born
was a moment that I'd been waiting for all my life.
I couldn't have been a happier, prouder father.
That's a good man. Fucking hell. That's a good man.
And then all of a sudden, things changed.
When they told us that there was nothing more that they could do,
it completely broke me.
Cheers, bro.
All I wanted to know at that point
was that if she goes, she will go in my arms
and she will go peacefully.
Ancl at eight months old, she passed away in my
and my partner's arms.
Ancl I believe she had
a peaceful transition to the other side.
All right. Recruits, file out. Let's go, let's go, let's go, guys.
Let's get there.
For the final test of the command phase...
Let's go. Keep up.
...the two teams must simulate
an emergency extraction from enemy territory.
Leading from the front. Hurry up. One.
It will be Ashley's last opportunity
to prove himself as Alpha's team leader.
Leadership, let's go.
And youngest recruit Maisie's last chance
to assert her command over Bravo.
OK, drop your bergens off. Listening to me.
We have been compromised,
so it's about getting the fuck out of here. Got it?
Ancl we have to take all that equipment with us.
It's about command.
It's about organising
and moving at a rapid rate of knots.
Treat this as fucking real.
Each team must escape to
a safe zone one kilometre away at the top of a steep ravine...
Are you ready? Go! Follow me.
...in the intense midday heat...
Follow me, Team Bravo.
...taking 200 kilogrammes of equipment with them.
Put the heaviest at the back so nothing falls down forward.
Get them black boxes. Black boxes.
You need to be loading up. You're wasting time.
Get the thing loaded up. Start placing these smartly.
Time is against us! The enemy is against us!
Three, two, one, pull!
Three, two, one, pull. Let's go. Let's go.
One. Let's go. One, one, one, one.
Every opportunity...
Where we getting stuck in?
...everything that I do now, is spurred on by my children.
So I wanna make them proud and I want them
to go into school and go, "My mum's a bad-ass."
TH EY GROAN
I wanna show the real me. Someone who is a team player.
I will push myself to the limit, I know that.
I'm not someone who's gonna give up my armband easily. I will not.
Come on. One...
Keep going, keep that rhythm. Keep that momentum. Come on. Come on!
So listen, guys, yeah? I'm there, tyre.
Look! Please, I'm trying to talk to you.
Ashley's Team Alpha is quick to take the lead...
Two go that side, two go this side.
...reaching the checkpoint first where they must collect another
50 kilogrammes of kit.
Let's go. Get that kit on the trailer.
You need to be leaning into it.
Team, ready? Ready. Yes.
Three, two, one.
Let's go. Now we've got to work. Now we've got to work.
Let's go. Keep it going. Fight for it.
Keep going. Keep going.
Time is not what you have.
You need to fucking move.
If you don't get yourselves motivated,
I will take numbers. Now fucking move.
Team, ready?
When I'm backed in a corner,
I take myself to the darkest times of my life,
where I was battling alongside my daughter.
Water in, water out. Lean back, let's go.
Water in, water out, lean back.
Ancl after going through such trauma,
I've realised, even when you're body wants to give up,
your mind can push it past any limits
that you thought you had before.
Listen, leave everything on the sand today.
These fuckers were sitting at dinner eating chocolate yesterday.
That fucked me off. Let's go. I love chocolate.
Let's go. For the chocolate, come on. Alpha, ready?
Ready? Three, two, one. Yeah!
Take it down, so let's go. This is where we have to work!
This is where we earn our pay! This is where we keep our lives!
Use it! Use it! Yeah!
Come on, Maise, you've got this. Fuck! Oh! Come on.
Oh, three, two, one, pull!
Pull!
At the halfway point, Maisie's Team Bravo is now 100 metres behind...
Come on!
Come on, Maisie. Argh!
...and falling further back. Three, two, one.
Come on, dig in.
You're team leader, keep us going. Keep pushing!
We've all got to pull at the same time. Three, two, one, pull!
Can't even hear the other team. This is absolutely turbo wank.
BREATHLESSLY: Keep pulling. OK. No.
You're almost there! Come on, lean!
Come on. Lean forward!
That's it! That's what I want!
In a race to the top of the ravine,
Ashley's Team Alpha is pulling away...
One...
Three, two, anemone, pull!
...leaving Maisie's Team Bravo trailing behind.
I can't grab it. I can't grab it. Pull!
If I see one person loafing, that armband's coming off.
Start getting some fucking grit about you!
One, pull!
Can we get in the back and push?
Can we take some stuff off and carry it?
I don't give a fuck, do you what you want.
Shall we do that, everybody? I don't know if it'll make it any easier.
I think if we carry it separate, run up, we can get it all.
As Maisie fails to find a solution to move the equipment,
Number 10, jade, steps in.
I don't think we should do that. We need all our force pulling.
One. We can carry single things but we can't pull this. What?
We can carry single things but we can't pull this.
Just move the fucking kit from A to B.
OK, OK. Who wants to take something? Me.
OK, you two take one of the cans from underneath.
Take one of those green cans. Come on, let's start moving.
I've been acting since I was four,
but in some ways I am one of the shyest people I know.
If you give me a script, I'll know what to say.
Come on then, hurry up!
But it's taken me a lot of time to find my voice.
Bravo's leader, Maisie,
has fallen behind after being deserted by her team-mates.
SHE GROANS I need help!
Every last ounce now! SCREAMING, GROANING
After nearly an hour of struggling uphill in the sand,
the end is in sight for Team Alpha.
14, don't stop.
Once that trailer passes me, you can stop for good.
HE SCREAMS
Yeah! That's it! Get it past me.
Stop!
Stop. Cross into the shade.
Drop your bergens and sit on them. Go!
Fucking awesome. This team don't quit.
I'm fucking proud to have you on my team.
Listen, brilliant. There's the fucking animal.
Well clone.
Big dog, you already know what I'm gonna say.
You fucking big yoke. Yes, fella. Keep going, man.
Don't need to tell you nothing. Great leadership. So glad that's over.
Ash, you're the best team leader, keep it going.
Jen. Yeah? Can I swap with you?
Just keep going up to the top.
When you're in a vulnerable moment,
when you're on a mission, teamwork is,
it's paramount. You have to pull
together as a team.
Everybody has to give 100%.
One weak link will result in failure.
One person letting the team down will destroy the mission.
I can't. Stop.
Let's go, come on!
You've got to do this again yet and you've got more kit to carry.
Ah, shit.
Run. If you don't wanna run, give me your fucking armband.
Oh, I can't. I can't do it.
Come on!
Fucking spent. Right, number one, stay there.
That's it now, you've failed.
I can't be fucked to watch any more.
With Bravo's leader, Maisie,
failing to organise her team and number one, Jennifer, struggling,
the DS called time on the task.
Everyone back on my location now!
Follow me.
Take your shower of shit arses in there. Run!
Shambolic from the start really.
12 is just out of her depth.
She's not a fucking natural leader.
And, if I'm honest, Number 1's fucking done.
I think end of the road.
Just stand in front of me here, right now. Hurry up.
I'm not fucking wasting any more energy.
OK. I gave you a realistic scenario. We do get compromised.
When we get compromised, your whole world's in a world of pain.
You are fighting for your fucking life.
You keep your team together and you work like a Trojan.
You get through that fucking desert on your teeth if you have to.
Some of you did that. Some of you are not giving it.
We ain't got time for dead wood. Number one,
hand your armband in to the chief instructor now. Now!
When I say go, pick up your bergens disappear. Go.
If I fail, I'm gonna be absolutely gutted.
But I'm hoping that
I leave this challenge with a new-found respect for myself.
I have been strong,
I have been confident and I have achieved
and nothing's ever stood in my way at one point,
and I need to go back to that.
You knew you were spent. You cannot go on any further.
We're telling you that. That's our decision.
You fucking put in a good effort.
Like a huge shift.
Keep your chin up. Well done.
After Jennifer is withdrawn by the DS,
eight recruits remain on the course.
That was awful, wasn't it?
I feel like I was a bit useless on that one.
Hey, what you doing?
We have one less as well. You did fucking good, man.
SH E EXHALES
Number 12!
Following her defeat in the final command task,
the DS call in recruit number 12, Maisie.
Hands on the right side of the wall, please. Right side of the door.
Yes, staff.
Step.
Side step. Seat.
Chill out, pull the chair in slightly closer.
Not too close cos you all stink.
How do you think your first attempt at running a team went?
I was...massively out of my comfort zone.
Ancl I tried to, tried to lead them...as a team.
But I... I felt like I was just a bit thick.
We've got to try and build your confidence up a bit.
But I've always lacked confidence and it's held me back a lot.
Where does this lack of confidence come from?
Erm, I think...
...growing up around a lot of adults...
I felt slightly undermined.
I've struggled sort of speaking and I've had...
like a...not a stutter but I just could go blank
and words wouldn't come out and I think the more that happened,
the more people would just sort of talk over me.
Ancl it like just affected me cos I just constantly felt like every time
I tried to speak, it was just useless
and pointless, so I just wouldn't. And it was,
it was a horrible feeling knowing that I couldn't find
a single word and it was like... I just didn't know any words.
Relax, take a breath.
Yeah, and I found it pretty hard
and I...
just hated the person I was for a long time.
Let's get one thing straight, OK?
You're not the biggest person on this course
and yet you put in probably more effort than most of
the bigger people did. This lack of self-confidence,
you need to try and get over it because you are
a strong character on this course without even knowing it.
Thank you, staff.
You should take a little bit of strength from that.
Keep doing what you're doing, keep your head up,
keep being in the fight.
Yes, staff.
Guard!
Feet. Turn. Hands together.
Step UP-
I'm always fascinated about kid actors. WHISPERS: I know.
Adults have problems dealing with the limelight.
I know, imagine a child.
Hands on the wall. All right, go to the gate, close it behind you.
Yes, staff.
The reason I worked so hard and pushed myself is
because the one thing
I can't control...
is...
...the thing I'm most scared of.
And...being scared of talking...
...it's horrible.
I'd love to overcome these feelings of fear.
I wanna be this strong person that I try and be.
I'm going to bed.
All I'm saying is,
tomorrow's gonna be absolute hell now after today.
What's happening? What's happening? What you gonna do?
Next time...
Escape and evasion is designed to push you
to your limits and then beyond them.
Throughout time,
special operations units have been caught behind enemy lines
and they can rely on no-one else to escape.
