0:00:04 > 0:00:06Here under the scorching African sun...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08SCREAMING
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..we have created the ultimate military boot camp.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14- Oh, my God!- With veterans of six of the world's
0:00:14 > 0:00:16fiercest special forces units,
0:00:16 > 0:00:2022 of Britain's toughest civilians are about to enter a fortnight
0:00:20 > 0:00:21of hell.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24- I can't...!- Get it up!
0:00:24 > 0:00:25SCREAMING
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Each and every one of them believes they have what it takes to make
0:00:28 > 0:00:31- it to the end.- I've never quit anything in my life.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Do I think I can win? Yeah, I think I have what it takes.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39- I'm ready for it.- And standing in their way are former operatives from
0:00:39 > 0:00:41the South Korean Special Forces.
0:00:41 > 0:00:42What is going on here?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Get up! You want to quit?
0:00:44 > 0:00:47The US Army's Green Berets.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50If you throw up, stick it in your pocket and keep going.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Argh!- Ow!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54GROM From Poland.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Do not move, do not talk.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Two minutes. Prepare your bergen.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The South African Special Forces.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Get up! Do it today.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09- I want it done now! - The Australian SAS.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Yes, yes, yes. Come on, come on, come on.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14And GIGN from France.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Fighting stance! - ALL SCREAM
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Living under a strict military regime,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25our recruits will experience the unique selection methods to
0:01:25 > 0:01:29understand the characteristics and skills required to become a member
0:01:29 > 0:01:30of one of these elite units.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Down! - SHE VOMITS
0:01:32 > 0:01:34What's happening?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Who has the inner strength to make it to the end...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39We are not going to stop till somebody quits.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40..and to win?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Special Forces - Ultimate Hell Week.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45What's going on? You are in my world!
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Come on, sunshine.
0:01:56 > 0:01:5922 recruits were introduced to elite military training
0:01:59 > 0:02:01by a veteran of the South African Recces.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04How is it that you managed to screw this up?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Put it down everybody, down. - You like backchatting, eh?
0:02:06 > 0:02:07You've got time to laugh?!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- This is a joke? - Here we have the stomach.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Somerville was the first to exit the process.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Pack your bags and get out of here.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- Off you go.- Francis was beaten by the heat.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Are you quitting? And don't fall over me.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Don't fall over on me.- Logan was sent packing at the final parade.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29You're no longer a part of this process.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Please exit off my parade now.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35And the relentless military regime pushed Isrolia over the edge.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- It's a bit too much, to be honest. - It was a pleasure meeting you. - Thank you very much.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Deep in the heart of South Africa,
0:02:49 > 0:02:5218 recruits are based in a purpose-built camp.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57With no recovery time after training under the South African phase,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00our recruits are about to be pushed to their limits once again.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21SPEAKS IN POLISH
0:03:21 > 0:03:23That means...
0:03:23 > 0:03:27do not move and do not talk.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37I don't say welcome on board.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40This is not place for everybody.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42My name is Rafal.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47I came from Poland. I am former GROM Special Forces.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52I have spent 20 years in military, including 15 years in GROM.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56First activated in 1990
0:03:56 > 0:03:59after two Polish diplomats were shot in Beirut,
0:03:59 > 0:04:02GROM is named after the Silent Unseen,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Poland's elite World War II Special Operations Unit,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08and was originally modelled on the British SAS.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Its main objectives include counterterror and unconventional warfare.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20To break someone physically is not a problem,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23but we will see...
0:04:23 > 0:04:25how you are strong psychologically.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Today we start
0:04:29 > 0:04:31from physical exercises.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I want to see
0:04:33 > 0:04:36maximum engagement.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38You cheat me,
0:04:38 > 0:04:39you cheat yourself.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Rafal's made it very clear that today is all about
0:04:46 > 0:04:50the psychological, but the first thing he's got them to do is physical.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Now, if I was one of the recruits, I wouldn't know what to think.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57The eyes, they're dark. It's like he's been through everything.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02You can tell. I mean, we're quite baby-eyed, but the stance, the look,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04it's...it's frightening.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Everything about him is intimidating.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13And, generally, I'm really quite scared of him.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I came here to break them physically and psychologically.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25If they don't follow orders, I dismiss them.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33In GROM, all students must pass a fitness standard to make it through
0:05:33 > 0:05:34to selection.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40To test our recruits,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45Rafal's devised a circuit including rope and ladder climbs,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- pull-up bars.- Start with pull-ups. In your position.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Box jumps
0:05:50 > 0:05:52and shuttle runs.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Go! Flat out!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Full speed!- Each physically demanding station targets
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- a different muscle group. - Use proper technique to find...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08..the moment to rest and also to do exercise.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Its purpose - to weed out the weak.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Let's go, let's go! You are too slow!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Downham, a teacher who's represented Scotland in swimming,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25got off to a bad start in the South African phase.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28You and you, stay behind.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30She was in the bottom five in the fitness test,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33but stepped up in the final challenge.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Quitting is not an option. I think they're leaving the girls to do the
0:06:36 > 0:06:38heavy lifting in all honesty, Reggie, mate.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41She's keen to show that women, although not accepted in
0:06:41 > 0:06:44special forces units, should not be overlooked.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47People automatically think bimbo.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51I lift heavier weights than 90% of the men who go to my CrossFit gym.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56My mother would be absolutely gutted if I got put out from the Polish
0:06:56 > 0:06:58special forces. She's half Polish herself,
0:06:58 > 0:07:01so I'm in this one to make them proud.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07The compound effect of the last 48 hours of intense training
0:07:07 > 0:07:09is starting to take its toll.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Don't, Sparks. Don't, Sparks.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19You're losing your control here.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Control your own body. Let's go.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Sparks struggled at the beginning of the South African phase.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30You want to stay here, pick it up.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32He's an expedition leader and adventurer.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34When I'm back in society,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I feel like I'm waiting to go again and then when
0:07:37 > 0:07:39I go on these trips, I feel like I'm really living.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42And has military ambitions beyond Ultimate Hell Week.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I have considered joining the military.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I tried Sandhurst and I mucked up a stage,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50but there's an appeals process
0:07:50 > 0:07:52and I'm still waiting to hear whether I was successful.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Come on, come on. Let's go.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59The ladder looks definitely difficult to navigate.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Was this something that the GROM would use in operations at all?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Yes. We are using, for example, when we are attacking the vessels.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Right.- So the team need to take control
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- of the vessel.- How would you use it?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Er...
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I'm sorry, but I cannot give you the details.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20As one of the few units specialised in night ship assaults,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24GROM was assigned to the Persian Gulf by the UN in 2002.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Their purpose? To stop arms traffic.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28Hang for ten seconds.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Hang. Hang in there.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Driving instructor and father-of-two Nawaz failed to impress the former
0:08:35 > 0:08:37South African special forces colonel.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I said put the block down, not chuck the fricking thing down!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Nawaz needs help.- And was picked out in the final parade.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Nawaz, you're physically weak.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51But he feels he has what it takes to make it to the end.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Every day I'm in the gym, every day I'm doing something active.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55I have that urgency, that buzz.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58I need to get out and do something.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01I'm very patient, I can take a lot of stick.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Do I think I could win? Mentally, yeah, I think I could, yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04I think I have what it takes.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08But on the first exercise, he's caught out by the ropes.
0:09:13 > 0:09:14And I fell straight down.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Obviously friction caused three fingers to burn.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I tried to sort of grab on again,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23but by that time, my hands were just totally gone.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Nawaz is obviously injured off the back of the ropes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- How's he going to do?- I don't care.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30I don't care about this.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33They have only two option - quit or continue.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Go!
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Ready? Hands down.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Personal trainer Ferguson found the South African phase
0:09:43 > 0:09:46difficult to stomach.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48At least you should have a smell of this.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- No, thank you.- Yeah? Sure? - HE RETCHES
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Bullied at school.
0:09:52 > 0:09:5514 years old and joined the gym.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Never looked back.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02At 26, he's the same age as an average GROM operator,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05but this process will test if he has all of the capabilities required for
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- their selection.- I used to have really bad anger problems.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11I'm not a Buddhist, but when I was in Thailand,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I learned a lot of things about it that helped
0:10:13 > 0:10:16this thing to calm down.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18You're slacking now, Fergus.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Come on. Come on, Ferguson.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23BREATHES HEAVILY
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Let's go!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27The bear crawls, I'm horrible, because I've got big, long legs.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It's easier for the wee midgets.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Ferguson, you've had enough rest.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Let's go!- It's horrible. Takes everything out of you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Over to the other side.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Let's go.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Go, go!
0:10:44 > 0:10:45One, two...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48One individual keen to impress and proving strong
0:10:48 > 0:10:50is 30-year-old Harrison.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53I love all the superhero movies, I love '80s horror.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54I love WWE.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I'm a crazy wrestling fan.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59As a fitness and lifestyle coach,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01he's mentally prepared for the challenge.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04This is all to do with not quitting.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I want to go in this and give it everything I've got and just not
0:11:07 > 0:11:09give in till the absolute death.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14In GROM selection, as things get tough,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17instructors single out the physically weak to test their
0:11:17 > 0:11:19psychological strength.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Mok, do you want to quit?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- No, sir.- Go, Mok!
0:11:25 > 0:11:26Want to quit?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- No, never, sir.- We'll see.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Get your feet off the deck!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32KLAXON
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Go, let's go. Let's go.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40After a couple of hours of intense training,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Rafal calls time on the first exercise.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50OK.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Position.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Don't cheat with this position.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Some of you...
0:12:02 > 0:12:03..came for a vacation here.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Ferguson, you need to change your behaviour.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11You cheat me.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Nawaz, you didn't do as much as possible.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20This was not what I wanted to see.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Keep the position, please.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26At the end of the first test,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Nawaz and Ferguson are both on Rafal's radar.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Stand up.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47The next phase is designed to test recruits' mental abilities in the field.
0:12:48 > 0:12:56Now get as much information about your partner as possible.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Dismiss the group.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02The recruits have been divided into pairs and have one hour to complete
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- the task.- 60 minutes, and go.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10You have been testing our recruits physically and now you've sent them
0:13:10 > 0:13:12off to do something psychological.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14What exactly are they doing and why?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17This is a simple task.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Gather as much information as possible
0:13:20 > 0:13:24and they don't know that I will test them
0:13:24 > 0:13:25tomorrow morning.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30If they don't give me proper information,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- I destroy them.- You're looking forward to it?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I'm looking forward to it, believe me.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Where do you live? - I don't have a home.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43I live in my tent and my tent moves with me.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Lives in a tent.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Do you have any nicknames? - I do, yeah.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Bomber.- Bummer?- Bomber.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51B-O-M-B-E-R.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53B... Oh, Bomber.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55From boxing. Ben "Bomber" Blowes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Are you close to your sister?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Aye, really close with both my brother and my sister.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02What was your mum and dad doing?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05Er, my mum's deceased.
0:14:05 > 0:14:06Overdose.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Jesus Christ, that's horrible.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Aye.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13When did your mum die, then?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Erm, my mum died 2009.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, Sparks, what is your biggest achievement?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I rowed across the Indian Ocean in 71 days.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28That's amazing.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32First ever unsupported row from Australia to the Seychelles.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36So, have any surprises come out
0:14:36 > 0:14:38in this interview about each other, then?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- Anything that you didn't know? - Things were getting a bit emotional.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43I was just telling him that my mum passed away.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45She took her own life and I was telling him.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48It's actually quite impressive that you're able to be so matter-of-fact
0:14:48 > 0:14:50about something that is so huge.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53The world doesn't stop for people or anybody,
0:14:53 > 0:14:54so you need to get on with it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02With seven hours under the strict rule of Rafal complete,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06the recruits face a long and vicious climb to the next challenge.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Upon arrival, they're split into two teams,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19then immediately put back into the squat position for the briefing.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Simple infantry exercise.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26You need to dig a trench.
0:15:27 > 0:15:3070 centimetres distance between each other.
0:15:33 > 0:15:3550 centimetres wide.
0:15:35 > 0:15:3730 centimetres deep.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42And one metre and a half long. Clear?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44ALL: Yes, sir!
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Go!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Rafal is looking for decisive thinking and speed.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Yeah, we've got to be 70 centimetres away from them.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- Yeah.- And then 1.2 away from each other?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05No, no, no. 12.5 metres long altogether.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09The Orange team have completely misunderstood the instructions.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- One trench, one big trench, no? - One big trench.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14That is about 50 centimetres, yeah?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- And a half. - Yeah, so mark yours, yeah?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19But the yellow team have found their secret weapon...
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Start the first, dig your line and then we'll move along.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25..in father-of-three and amateur boxer Burch.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29I've had, like, about 100 fights.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31I've never been put down.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32I've never been stopped.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Trying to find out whether I am immortal, I think.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Reason I'm here, I'm from...
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Two of my kids have got type one diabetes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I keep telling them they can do anything they want to do
0:16:43 > 0:16:45with their life, never give up, so I'm going to show them
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Dad's going to get tortured and he ain't going to give up.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55While the yellow team dig deeper, the orange team are in disarray
0:16:55 > 0:16:58and ten minutes in, still haven't started.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00- Listen to me.- Guys!
0:17:01 > 0:17:0515 seconds, spread out and start to dig.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08If not, I dismiss you.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Start to dig, guys. - Just start digging.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15So, Rafal, what can you tell me about this task?
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Because this looks impossible in this heat, particularly after that run as well.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- Right, shovel into it, like that, yeah?- Right.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Boom. Boom.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Burch, taking his skills as a labourer,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37took action and says, "Right, hold on.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40"Three spades this way, one spade that way, that spade deep.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43"Let's get it done." So assertive and so neat and so amazing. The guy's a legend.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46OK. Stop digging.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Stop digging.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49We switch the group.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54You will be finishing
0:17:54 > 0:17:55their work.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58You will be finishing
0:17:58 > 0:18:00their work. Switch the group.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I thought we were doing good over there and then they moved us.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15So it's mind games, isn't it? It's all mind games.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21When I see somebody sitting
0:18:21 > 0:18:24or standing...you leave the group.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30After 45 minutes of digging,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Rafal has spotted two recruits from the orange team he thinks are not
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- putting in maximum effort.- Stand up.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Nawaz, Okafor...
0:18:41 > 0:18:45your T-shirts are too dry.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50Dig and to make your T-shirt wet like the others.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Go.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Nawaz, for you, is second black mark.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00For the rest of you...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03..go.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Nawaz, you've been asked to dig more because you're not sweating enough.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I'm not a very sweaty guy, mate.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Do you think he's going to stand for that "I don't really sweat very much" excuse?- No.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- So what are you going to do?- I'm digging as hard as I can now, man.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Keep working, man. Don't stop. Don't stop.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28South London twerk instructor Okafor
0:19:28 > 0:19:31went down with hypothermia during the South African phase.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I have never felt such cold before in my life.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38She believes she has what it takes.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I feel like in life there's a certain amount of ruthlessness
0:19:40 > 0:19:43that you need. That's what kind of separates people.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Are you going to win or are you going to lose?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Okafor, do you think you've been unfairly selected as somebody who
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- isn't sweating enough?- Yeah, I mean,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54when in life is a lady penalised for not sweating?
0:19:54 > 0:19:55I mean, that is really...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58It looks like you're working hard to me. What's going on?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Because my, my, my sweat glands are just chilling today,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- but what chef here wants, chef here gets.- Yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Ferguson, who was picked out for bad attitude in the fitness test,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12is still on Rafal's radar.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Ferguson.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Nobody's allowed to sit.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Go to the middle.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Have you got any problem?- No.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29First position.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48What do you prefer to do?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51- This exercise or dig?- Dig.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54So dig.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56And pay attention to your action.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03But back in the trench, things get worse for Ferguson.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Use your hands.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19After two hours of backbreaking work in the 35 degree heat,
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Rafal calls time.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Stop digging.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And puts them in the squat position again.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33That is good work. Good job.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Now you restore the ground to nature,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41as soon as possible. Go!
0:21:46 > 0:21:50I don't understand how no-one's complaining right now.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51This is torture.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Are there any two in particular that stand out as people that should be
0:21:59 > 0:22:02worried ahead of tomorrow? Who hasn't pulled their weight today?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Ferguson, he broke the spade. I didn't like his behaviour.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- Right.- And Nawaz.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10He is really slow.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Some of them did really not a bad job.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Unimpressed by most of the recruits' efforts,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Rafal dismisses them to base camp to wait for his next instruction.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42I broke the spade because I was digging too hard,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45and he blamed me for breaking it. I was digging with my hands.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46He still blamed me...
0:22:46 > 0:22:47I couldnae have done...
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I just cannae do right today, I don't know.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56After 11 hours under the searing South African sun,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00the recruits get a chance to load up with some much-needed calories.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Digging the hole wasn't too bad actually.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05And Burch, Burch has to be credited for that one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08He was the only one that got, like, credited by Rafal.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Like, at the end, he said, "Good job, Burch."
0:23:13 > 0:23:16He was getting upset, because the two of us were in the bath together earlier.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18He weren't happy about it.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Sometimes you just connect.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- I looked him in the eye first day I met him and I just thought, "Love."- "He's mine."
0:23:24 > 0:23:27OK, come up outside.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29After a tough third day of special forces training,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31the recruits all need patching up.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36- So these are rope burns?- Yes.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I can see you've taken all the skin out of that one.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Is that going to sting?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45- Erm, no.- No?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Yeah, it stings.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Did that come out of there?
0:23:51 > 0:23:52It came out of that?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00At 10.30pm, it's time for lights out.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03OK, if you need to do anything, use your head torches.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Good night, Donoghue. - Good night, Palama.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Attention!
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Just three hours later and Rafal wakes the recruits.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Prepare your bergen, ready for marching.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Two minutes, fall in. Go.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40He has plans to test their psychological strength and alertness
0:24:40 > 0:24:41throughout the night.
0:24:43 > 0:24:4430 seconds.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47During GROM selection,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50sleep deprivation is used to push recruits to their limits to find
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- individual weaknesses.- Fall in.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Go!
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Not a single recruit arrives at the parade ground on time,
0:25:03 > 0:25:06in full uniform or with their bergen ready.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12Two minutes, prepare your bergen for marching. Go!
0:25:13 > 0:25:17The recruits are given one more chance to try and impress Rafal.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Ten seconds left.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Tonight he will punish the recruits for the slightest mistake.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Two minutes passed.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34Fall in at the parade ground.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Move!
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Nawaz, you are too slow.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Nobody move.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Playing mind games, Rafal leaves the recruits standing to attention.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07For me,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09they don't treat this seriously.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Nawaz was really slow.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25He's not wanting us to mess about.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29He's looking to catch us out big time.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Be prepared for anything.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35That's what it's all about, right?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44After an hour, punishment for the recruits' consistent lateness
0:26:44 > 0:26:46is Rafal's default position.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Squat.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55But this time, wearing their 12kg bergens.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Nawaz, keep the arms in proper position.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Plank.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Nawaz, what's happened?
0:27:24 > 0:27:25Why are you shaking?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27You are too weak.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Too slow.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Stand up.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32After five minutes of misery,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35the recruits are told to remove their bergens
0:27:35 > 0:27:37and told to continue planking.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40But Nawaz is still struggling.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Lower ass, Nawaz.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Lower ass.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Do you want to stay or quit?
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Continue.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Stand up.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Belly exercise.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57As the exercises continue through the night, Okafor -
0:27:57 > 0:28:01on Rafal's radar from yesterday - is also not impressing.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Push-up position.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Squat.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15Okafor.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19What about you? Do you want to be able to continue further?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23You want to quit?
0:28:23 > 0:28:24I'm staying, sir.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33After two hours, Rafal calls an end to the agony on the parade ground.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Stand up.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37Take your bergen.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Go back to sleep.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52We've been battered on the parade ground.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Attention.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13Just half an hour after going to bed, Rafal wakes the recruits again.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Approach the table.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Constantly disrupted sleep is proven to break the sleep cycle,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22which can affect both physical and mental performance.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25This is the paper.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Those are the pictures.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28You can share the pictures.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Go back to your bed, take the paper, and do this.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Now Rafal has set them an origami test,
0:29:39 > 0:29:43to test their problem-solving ability while sleep deprived.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46I've not got a brain for trouble solving.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I'm a fighter, not a mathematician.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56After a night of constant physical and mental punishment,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58some of the recruits are beginning to struggle.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Don't cross the table.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07I've tried to do the dimensions with my hands.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Parrott is the first to complete the problem-solving task.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Go back to sleep.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- WHISPERS: - The secret is to twist the paper.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Very close. I just can't find out the last bit.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35With no other recruits finding the solution,
0:30:35 > 0:30:37eventually, Rafal has seen enough.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I'm really disappointed. Really weak.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Do not think properly.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49Go back to sleep.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04With virtually no sleep throughout the night,
0:31:04 > 0:31:09just ten minutes later, the recruits are woken AGAIN for the day ahead.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10Right, OK, first five minutes,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12detail is going to be square this away.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Obviously, there's kit everywhere from last night's fun and games.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19And Okafor reflects on being singled out last night by Rafal.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I've really had to be introspective
0:31:21 > 0:31:23and think that maybe I did come with some arrogance,
0:31:23 > 0:31:25that "Oh, I'm strong, oh, I can do this."
0:31:25 > 0:31:30And then I was shown that I wasn't as strong as I thought I was.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I think it's how you deal with that humbling.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35It can either break you or make you want to actually be
0:31:35 > 0:31:38the person you thought you were.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Yeah, last night was pretty tough. Pretty tough.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Just the repetition, sort of, you know, simple process.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47It wasn't sort of expecting that, to be honest.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Go.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55The night exercise has given Rafal
0:31:55 > 0:31:57a chance to evaluate all the recruits,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59and some are still on his radar.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08I have to admit that you are psychologically strong.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10But this is not everything.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Physically...you are weak.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Okafor.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24You weren't able to accomplish simple task.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Go back.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Nawaz, forward.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35The simple task...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38was to be on time at the parade ground.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41You are always last one.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44The slowest one.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48Even Okafor was able to be on time.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I dismiss you from the group.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Remember this lesson.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Failing to show maximum engagement,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Nawaz is the latest casualty of the process.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19Nawaz! What happened?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22In all honesty, I'm pretty gutted.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24I thought I'd get a lot further than this.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26But why do you think that you've only come so far?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I think it's just bad luck, to be honest, mate,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31just with my hands all pretty much messed up.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Like I said, I was just struggling to get my kit on time, really.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35I said I'd never give up,
0:33:35 > 0:33:39so at least I can walk out with my head held high.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Best of luck, all right? - Thank you very much.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Look after yourself. - Thank you very much.- Cheers, Nawaz.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Now 17 recruits remain.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58After a night of sleep deprivation,
0:33:58 > 0:34:03the true purpose of Rafal's Q&A task is about to become clear.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Okafor, forward.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08They must recall the information they gathered
0:34:08 > 0:34:10about their partners yesterday.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14How long has Harrison's stepdad been retired?
0:34:15 > 0:34:16For a year? Sir.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22A wrong answer will mean a plunge in a freezing cold ice bath.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Get in. Refresh yourself.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Let's go. Move yourself! Move, move, move!
0:34:26 > 0:34:27Get down. All the way down.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Go back that way. Go, go, go, go!
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Who is the most important person in Harrison's life?
0:34:37 > 0:34:38His best friend Warwick.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40They've been friends for 16 years, sir.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Get to refresh once again.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Come on, let's go! Why are you standing around?
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Back in line.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I think it's suddenly become very clear
0:35:02 > 0:35:05what that questionnaire was all about.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Why does Downham not like working with Ferguson?
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Because he's got foul language
0:35:11 > 0:35:13and needs to wash his mouth out with soap, staff.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Back in line.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Downham, forward.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25What year was Sparks born?
0:35:25 > 0:35:271992, sir. The 11th of January.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Back in line.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Ferguson, forward.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39When was the last time Stewart cried?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Watching The Lion King, the bit when Mufasa dies.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43It gets him every time.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Back in line.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50Harrison, forward.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Why does Okafor like working with Burch?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Because he's honest.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Go to refresh yourself.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Come on! Get yourself in the drink.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Go...!
0:36:08 > 0:36:09Back in line.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15I told you, you need to be more concentrated...
0:36:16 > 0:36:18..open-minded.
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Dismiss.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Touch your right. Run. Come on.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35You've ordered a tank, Ferguson.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40Good listener. Absolutely delighted.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- How was that bath? - Refreshing, I guess.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46It wakes you up a little bit, being submerged.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48It's the pressure of being up there.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Tired and hungry, but relieved their living nightmare is over,
0:36:53 > 0:36:54they tuck into breakfast.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56I can't get it in my mouth fast enough.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59How have you lot found this special courses expert,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01because he doesn't seem to ever be pleased with anything that you do?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04No! He's a robot, honestly. He's a robot.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I've never seen him smile.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08I think he was sent from hell.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10THEY LAUGH
0:37:10 > 0:37:12To test me.
0:37:12 > 0:37:13How are you getting on off the back of
0:37:13 > 0:37:15being dumped in that ice water this morning?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Um, it was exhilarating.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20I mean, why not have hypothermia twice, you know?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Just make a habit of it, why not? - OK, I'm going to let you guys go,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26because clearly, Palama wants to finish off everyone's breakfast.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28And lick their plates, too! Good luck, guys, all right?
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- ALL:- Bye!- Good talking to you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49This is the final challenge.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Really demanding, physically and psychologically.
0:37:55 > 0:37:5610km run.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00The fastest, the better.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06I want to see individual work.
0:38:11 > 0:38:12Go.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Straight out of the blocks, 43-year-old
0:38:16 > 0:38:21and sub-three-hour marathon runner Blowes takes the lead.
0:38:21 > 0:38:241k from the start is a marker the recruits must run around
0:38:24 > 0:38:26and return to the start line.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Five circuits will complete the 10k.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36And, as always, Rafal is after maximum effort.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Durance reporting.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Despite Blowes' strong start,
0:38:40 > 0:38:45the first recruit to reach the 1k mark is Durance.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47You're in first place.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I'm just doing what I can!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I'm not worried about being first.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Durance, a horticultural engineer and keen rugby player.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59has always dreamed of a career in the Army.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02When I was a kid, I've always wanted to join the TA
0:39:02 > 0:39:07and because I was deaf, I just couldn't do it.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I think this is probably my opportunity
0:39:09 > 0:39:11to try something very similar.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16Some of my friends call me nutter because I don't stop.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I'm always on the move.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Keep it going, man.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27Third from the back, Okafor has struggled in the trench dig,
0:39:27 > 0:39:29and last night's sleep deprivation,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31is keen to prove herself to Rafal.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35You seem to have a really chipper, cheery attitude at the moment.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36This is hell, surely?
0:39:36 > 0:39:39SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:39:39 > 0:39:45When I was training for this, I did 15kg for 13km.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48He's asking us to basically do less than that.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50So as long as I keep up my own pace, I've got this.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55The brutal midday sun and unforgiving terrain
0:39:55 > 0:39:58is taking its toll on the already exhausted recruits.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01This is so hot. It's crazy.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05If I die, I love you, Mum.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Now with most of the recruits past the 4k mark...
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Just a stone?- Yeah.- OK.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18..Okafor has overtaken four recruits
0:40:18 > 0:40:23and is now third fastest woman and going strong.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24I'm not hearing any singing!
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Coming back, coming back.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Keep going, Okafor.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33With the leaders now reaching the 6k mark
0:40:33 > 0:40:35and the temperature only getting hotter,
0:40:35 > 0:40:39the medical team has ordered the recruits to take on fluids.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47And Blowes has dropped back to fourth place
0:40:47 > 0:40:50behind Durance, Stewart and Onyiuke.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Blowes, what happened? You were in front.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56I've done it about 200 times in running races.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59Boom! Gun goes, go off too fast.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01Blow up, struggle.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03But that's how I race. Do or die.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Do you think you're going to catch up?
0:41:05 > 0:41:07No, but no-one's going to catch me up now.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09So I'll settle for fourth. I'm 43.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12They're all 20-year-olds up ahead of me, or something like that.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15But Blowes isn't the only one suffering.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Sparks, how you hanging up?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- Permission to go. - I am hanging out, Reggie...
0:41:24 > 0:41:25out of my ass.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29This bag is so heavy.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31I swear to God!
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Feel I'm carrying a dead body about with me, man!
0:41:34 > 0:41:36Downham, fifth from last,
0:41:36 > 0:41:39eventually reaches the compulsory water stop.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41..if I struggle to get going again...
0:41:41 > 0:41:43What is it that you're so worried about with stopping?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- That I won't get going again because my legs are so stiff.- Yeah.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- Are you starting to seize up? - "Starting"!?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51I seized up about an hour ago, mate.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54Now over halfway through,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58the combined pressure of 17kg on their backs
0:41:58 > 0:42:00and temperatures peaking in the high 30s...
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Around me, Ferguson. Stay on your right.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07..is pushing the recruits to the limits of their physical endurance.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Downham is continuing to struggle.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Downham, keep going.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Don't you stop.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25And Harrison is doing his best to support her...
0:42:25 > 0:42:29This is an individual run! We do not help each other!
0:42:29 > 0:42:31Come, let's go, let's go, let's go.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35..disregarding direct orders from Rafal and the DS.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- Come on, Downham. - So have you decided to run together?
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- No.- Yes. - And what was the reason for that?
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Because I want to keep up. - Come on. Keep going.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Come on, Downham. Come on, come on.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- What was the reason?- Cos I want to help her out.- Yeah?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52We're a team. We're a team.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56I know it's individual, but if I get in trouble for it, so be it.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Keep that going. Come on, that pace. Good.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Durance...- Durance...
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Two kilometres ahead of Downham and Harrison,
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Durance has completed the 10k in first place.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12But the misery is still not over.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Over there, there is an instructor. He gave you instruction.- Yes.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19- Do you want to continue?- Yes, sir.
0:43:19 > 0:43:20Go.
0:43:27 > 0:43:31Each recruit must summit the hill carrying their 17kg bergen.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34At the top, they are given a nine-digit code
0:43:34 > 0:43:38which they must remember and relay to Rafal waiting at the bottom.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40It will be a kind of memorising test,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43because they think that 10ks will be enough.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46So this is a good moment to break somebody psychologically,
0:43:46 > 0:43:49especially during such condition.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52This is one of our selection elements used in GROM.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56Intelligence gathering is one of GROM's major objectives,
0:43:56 > 0:43:58so memory tests are used during selection
0:43:58 > 0:44:01to assess the recruits' recall abilities.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Durance reporting, sir.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06OK. There you go. Remember that code.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Most adults can store between five and nine digits
0:44:08 > 0:44:10in their short-term memory.
0:44:10 > 0:44:13This can be improved by verbally repeating the digits.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16But fatigue seriously affects recall ability.
0:44:18 > 0:44:20OK.
0:44:20 > 0:44:21Durance has his code...
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Yes, sir.- Flynn.
0:44:24 > 0:44:28..but hot on his heels are Onyiuke, Stewart and Flynn.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30- Give me your name. - HE BREATHES HEAVILY
0:44:30 > 0:44:35Staff, my name is Kenechukwu Brian Onyiuke.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37Kenna, take vengeance.
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Defeat two Jabberwockies, 7-1.
0:44:39 > 0:44:42- 1, no, Kenna...- OK. - ..take vengeance.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- Back to Rafal. - Defeat two Jabberwockies, 7-1.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47Recruits must deliver the code perfectly first time,
0:44:47 > 0:44:51or return to the top of the hill for a shortened sequence.
0:44:51 > 0:44:52Q-A-5...
0:44:55 > 0:44:57..C-A-7...
0:44:57 > 0:44:58..Q-A-E.
0:45:01 > 0:45:03Go back and get the new code.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09Take vengeance. Two Jabberwocky...
0:45:09 > 0:45:14His mistake leaves the door open for Onyiuke to complete the task first.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17Give me the first number of your code.
0:45:17 > 0:45:201. No - N.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24Kenna - K. Take - T.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Vengeance - V.
0:45:26 > 0:45:282.
0:45:28 > 0:45:30Jabberwocky - J. 7-1, sir.
0:45:33 > 0:45:34- Go there.- Thank you, sir.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41How are you feeling after that mental test and this physical one?
0:45:41 > 0:45:45I feel good, because the aim was to do my best.
0:45:45 > 0:45:47I wasn't concerned about anyone around me, I just kept going.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51- All right. Well, well done, man. - Thank you.- Go get some rest.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53Back on the 10k course,
0:45:53 > 0:45:56the next wave of recruits are nearing the finish.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58I should really be thanking the Polish guy.
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Because he's making me push myself further
0:46:00 > 0:46:02than I ever have in my whole life.
0:46:02 > 0:46:05And I've done fighting for a long time.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09And I'm getting by levels now where I never thought I could ever reach.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Durance has returned to Rafal for his second attempt at the code.
0:46:13 > 0:46:174-K-D-D-Q-I-M-1.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21With Durance through, Okafor has only just finished her 10k.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- Do you want to continue, or do you want to...?- Yes, sir.
0:46:24 > 0:46:25Go.
0:46:25 > 0:46:29And just behind Okafor are Downham and Harrison.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- You are too slow.- Yes, sir.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33I'll try and be faster, sir.
0:46:33 > 0:46:34Go.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43Next to try his luck, on his second attempt, is Flynn.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45- Go this side.- Staff, thank you.
0:46:45 > 0:46:48He's through, and is quickly followed by Blowes and Burch
0:46:48 > 0:46:50on their second attempts.
0:46:50 > 0:46:54But hot-headed Ferguson completes it on his first attempt...
0:46:54 > 0:46:56- Go this side.- Thank you.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00N-8-I-N-J-9.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Go back.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05..while Downham is sent back to the top of the hill.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08After pushing herself to breaking point,
0:47:08 > 0:47:11next up is Okafor on her second attempt.
0:47:11 > 0:47:15F-M-X-0-I-0-L-S, sir.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18Go this side.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21And she can't hide her relief at completing the task.
0:47:21 > 0:47:23Well done. You superstar.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27You've done it, you've done it! You finished.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30You finished, you finished, you finished, you finished.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Harrison, who excelled in yesterday's fitness test,
0:47:33 > 0:47:34is the last man in.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Code?
0:47:36 > 0:47:39And faces Rafal for a second attempt.
0:47:39 > 0:47:410-L...
0:47:41 > 0:47:45H-A-Z-2-E-M.
0:47:45 > 0:47:46Why you are so late?
0:47:46 > 0:47:50I just took my time on the way down there, sir.
0:47:50 > 0:47:54You don't show me that you gave everything from you.
0:47:54 > 0:47:55Yes, sir.
0:47:59 > 0:48:00Go this side.
0:48:03 > 0:48:05Let's get it off.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07On her last legs,
0:48:07 > 0:48:11Downham arrived to relay her code to Rafal for the second time.
0:48:11 > 0:48:12Give me the code.
0:48:12 > 0:48:150-7-A...
0:48:15 > 0:48:17Go back.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20And for the second time, she's incorrect.
0:48:20 > 0:48:25After two hours and 17 minutes in the blistering heat,
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Palama, the only other recruit on the course...
0:48:27 > 0:48:33- Code?- S-1-A-3-I-D-3-6.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35Go this side.
0:48:35 > 0:48:36..completes the exercise.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42But Downham faces the summit for a tortuous third time.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47Probably the lowest of the low.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51But...I've just got to get up the hill...
0:48:53 > 0:48:55..try and remember the code.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57- How about we go and join her? Imagine if...- No...
0:48:57 > 0:49:00Oh, no, we're not allowed, we're not allowed.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02What a resilient young woman.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Argh!
0:49:12 > 0:49:14Sir, permission to cheer colleague on.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25- Let's go, Downham!- Come on, Downham! - Come on, Downham!
0:49:25 > 0:49:26Go, girl! Come on!
0:49:31 > 0:49:33She's had a real tough one.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39A few more feet, a few more feet.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44- Downham, staff.- Louder. - RAISED VOICE:- Downham, staff.
0:49:44 > 0:49:47- You OK?- Yes, staff.- Good. Going to give you a new code.
0:49:47 > 0:49:4930 seconds.
0:49:49 > 0:49:52Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53Time is up.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59- ALL:- Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:50:08 > 0:50:10Parrot, 3-7-8, parrot, Watson.
0:50:23 > 0:50:25Give me the code.
0:50:25 > 0:50:30P-3-7-8-P-W.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33Are you sure?
0:50:37 > 0:50:38Are you sure?
0:50:42 > 0:50:43- Yes or no?- Yes.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48So, good that you are sure.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51You are strong, so keep going.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53- Am I clear?- Yes, sir.
0:50:53 > 0:50:55- Go this side.- Yes!
0:50:57 > 0:50:59She's done it. Look at that.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06THEY CONGRATULATE HER
0:51:16 > 0:51:20As the recruits catch their breath, it's time to discuss
0:51:20 > 0:51:22their performances under Rafal's GROM training.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30They were all definitely challenged by what you put them through today,
0:51:30 > 0:51:34so let's start with the obvious place to start, and that is Downham.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37Comparing to the rest of the group, she was slow.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39Totally confused,
0:51:39 > 0:51:40about the codes.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43Harrison was the last man through -
0:51:43 > 0:51:45did that register for you at all?
0:51:45 > 0:51:46Yeah, yeah.
0:51:46 > 0:51:51It surprised me even girls were faster than him,
0:51:51 > 0:51:55so I need to rethink his behaviour,
0:51:55 > 0:51:59- because they were told to work individually.- Yeah.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02OK, moving on to another one of the recruits - Okafor.
0:52:02 > 0:52:06Okafor surprised me in a negative meaning
0:52:06 > 0:52:08during the sleep deprivation.
0:52:08 > 0:52:13But what I saw today, Okafor did better time than Harrison,
0:52:13 > 0:52:16so I really need to rethink everything.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18OK, so I'll find out your decision shortly.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20Pleasure to talk with you.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22That doesn't get any softer, does it?
0:52:22 > 0:52:23RAFAL CHUCKLES
0:52:26 > 0:52:30I don't think anyone thinks they're actually 100% safe.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33I think it could be anybody, really.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36But if you do things that are going to draw attention to yourself
0:52:36 > 0:52:37and he's not happy with,
0:52:37 > 0:52:40you're obviously a little bit more likely to be on the radar.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44Hopefully he can see some positives in my...
0:52:44 > 0:52:47awful performance today.
0:52:47 > 0:52:49I was so anxious, I thought I'm not going to be able to do it,
0:52:49 > 0:52:53and then we arrived, and I did it, so...I'd like to stay.
0:53:06 > 0:53:10I always demand from people
0:53:10 > 0:53:13maximum engagement, full commitment.
0:53:16 > 0:53:19Onyiuke, forward.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26I was observing you doing physical exercise.
0:53:27 > 0:53:31You are really strong. Good psyche.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Good material for the future.
0:53:34 > 0:53:35Back to line.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43But there are a couple of you disappoint me.
0:53:43 > 0:53:45Downham...forward.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51You disappointed me...but...
0:53:53 > 0:53:57..you never quit, never give up.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Back in line.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06Okafor, forward.
0:54:12 > 0:54:17You really disappointed me during the sleep deprivation.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18But today...
0:54:20 > 0:54:22..I was really impressed
0:54:22 > 0:54:26to see your maximum engagement.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28Back in line.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31Harrison, forward.
0:54:36 > 0:54:42Harrison, everyone remember what I tell you at the beginning
0:54:42 > 0:54:45that I expect individual work.
0:54:46 > 0:54:47You didn't do that.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52You were running half the time with Downham.
0:54:54 > 0:54:57You were the last guy.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00There was no maximum engagement.
0:55:04 > 0:55:05That's why...
0:55:07 > 0:55:09..I dismiss you.
0:55:11 > 0:55:12Dismiss the group.
0:55:13 > 0:55:14Go!
0:55:25 > 0:55:27I'm bloody shocked.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29How the hell did that happen?
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Harrison.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46The rest of your team is leaving right now, just over your shoulder.
0:55:46 > 0:55:47What's going through your head?
0:55:47 > 0:55:50I'm pretty gutted, obviously, but I'm holding my head up high.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52I kept my integrity throughout, you know.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54I'm not going to leave someone totally hanging
0:55:54 > 0:55:57if they're absolutely, you know... She needed that push.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00- Do you think other people should've gone instead of yourself?- Yeah.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02So who should have gone?
0:56:02 > 0:56:04I think probably Okafor should have gone.
0:56:04 > 0:56:08I think she was probably physically the weakest out of everybody.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10Yeah, and I know that it's been difficult
0:56:10 > 0:56:13- but is there anything you're going to miss?- Just the challenge.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16This is... Obviously, physically, I've been pushed to my limit,
0:56:16 > 0:56:19but I've enjoyed it, and I want more.
0:56:19 > 0:56:20But it is what it is.
0:56:20 > 0:56:24- Pleasure meeting you.- You too, man. - Really well done.- Yeah.- Good job.
0:56:26 > 0:56:29Still in shock. Just cannot believe that it was him that went.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31I thought he'd have maybe sent two home today,
0:56:31 > 0:56:34but...just Harrison, the big character in the camp,
0:56:34 > 0:56:37so it's going to be a sore one to take for a few people.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40- Go, go, go!- Get out!
0:56:40 > 0:56:44I suppose I feel partly responsible for Harrison going.
0:56:44 > 0:56:46But...I don't know.
0:56:46 > 0:56:50Just feel a bit rubbish about it. It's not fair.
0:56:50 > 0:56:52But some recruits have forgotten the past already
0:56:52 > 0:56:55and are looking to the future.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57No doubt there'll be some crazy bastard
0:56:57 > 0:56:59ready to wipe us all out of our beds,
0:56:59 > 0:57:01get us running up and down doing that hill again
0:57:01 > 0:57:03half five in the morning!
0:57:04 > 0:57:06Next time...
0:57:06 > 0:57:08Our recruits spend a punishing 48 hours...
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Argh!
0:57:10 > 0:57:12..under the direction of a former operative
0:57:12 > 0:57:15from the US Army's Green Berets.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17You'll address me as Sergeant, not sir.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19That's because I work for a living.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22We are not going to stop till somebody quits.
0:57:22 > 0:57:23Teamwork is tested...
0:57:23 > 0:57:25THEY YELL
0:57:25 > 0:57:27- Seven... Come on! Six... - ..leaders emerge...
0:57:27 > 0:57:31Five, four, three, two, one. Time!
0:57:31 > 0:57:34..and commitment is called for.
0:57:34 > 0:57:37You tell me one more time you're going to quit, you're quitting.
