0:00:04 > 0:00:06Here under the scorching African sun...
0:00:06 > 0:00:08GUNS FIRE, A WOMAN SCREAMS
0:00:08 > 0:00:11..we've created the ultimate military boot camp.
0:00:11 > 0:00:12Oh, my God.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16With veterans of six of the world's fiercest special forces units,
0:00:16 > 0:00:1822 of Britain's toughest civilians
0:00:18 > 0:00:21are about to enter a fortnight of hell.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23- Get up.- I can't.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Get up, Flynn.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Each and every one of them believes they have what it takes
0:00:28 > 0:00:29to make it to the end.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31I've never quit anything in my life.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I really think I've got exactly what it takes to win the show.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35I'm ready for it.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38And standing in their way are former operatives from...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41the South Korean special forces...
0:00:41 > 0:00:42What is going on here?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Get up. You want to quit?
0:00:45 > 0:00:47..the US Army's Green Berets...
0:00:47 > 0:00:50If you throw up, stick it in your pocket, keep going.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53- Argh!- Argh!
0:00:53 > 0:00:54..GROM from Poland...
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Do not move, do not talk.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Two minutes, prepare your baggage.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03..the South African special forces...
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Get up. Get up. Today, I want it done now!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09..the Australian SAS...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11GUNS FIRE
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Gas, gas, gas. Come on, come on, come on.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15..and GIGN from France.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Fighting stance!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18- ALL:- Rarrr!
0:01:18 > 0:01:19GUN FIRES
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Living under a strict military regime,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24our recruits will experience the unique selection methods
0:01:24 > 0:01:28to understand the characteristics and skills required
0:01:28 > 0:01:31to become a member of one of these elite units.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- Down!- What's happening?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Who has the inner strength to make it to the end...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39We're not going to stop until somebody quits.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40..and to win?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44What's going on?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You are in my world.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Under the instruction
0:01:58 > 0:02:00of an operative from the US Green Berets...
0:02:00 > 0:02:03You will address me as Sergeant, not sir,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05that's cos I work for a living.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We are not going to stop until somebody quits.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09..bodies were battered.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Argh! Ah!
0:02:12 > 0:02:13As the pressure mounted,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Flynn proved himself to be a real contender.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Three, two, one.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Stewart couldn't take any more.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24You tell me one more time you're going to quit, you're quitting.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- What's your answer, Stewart? - Quit, Sergeant.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Okafor broke...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Okafor, talk to me, what's happening?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34..which leaves 14 remaining in the process.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49It's just after 7am, and the recruits have been taken
0:02:49 > 0:02:53to an undisclosed location at the southern tip of Africa,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55on the Atlantic Ocean.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Come to attention.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04So far, they've endured six days of physical and mental punishment
0:03:04 > 0:03:08under the command of three special forces veterans.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Now they await their next former elite operative.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36As usual with our special forces expert, there is this moment...
0:03:37 > 0:03:39..when they size up the recruits.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Everyone take a knee.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Take a knee!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46From now on, when I tell you to drop,
0:03:46 > 0:03:48you will drop into the thinking-man position.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The only thing that touches the sand
0:03:54 > 0:03:56is the top of your head and your feet.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Your hands will be behind your back.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Drop!
0:04:03 > 0:04:06My name is Lieutenant Ken Rhee.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07I'm from South Korea.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12From this point on, you are in my world, and I own you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Established in 1954,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21the Republic of Korea Navy Underwater Demolition Team,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26known simply as ROK UDT, are a water-based special forces unit.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31They've been deployed on anti-piracy operations
0:04:31 > 0:04:33in the Pacific and Indian oceans,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36as well as infiltration missions into North Korea.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Students need to prepare for a culture shock.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42If they have a fear of water, God help them.
0:04:45 > 0:04:46Allan!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Come over here.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55You are now the class leader.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Do you know why you were chosen?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I do not know why I was chosen.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02You are the oldest.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06In Korea, the eldest makes you senior man.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12261.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13So far, recruit Allan
0:05:13 > 0:05:16has asserted himself as a natural team leader
0:05:16 > 0:05:18from the start of the process,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21although he struggled with the physicality of the challenges.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I am worried my body might give out on me.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26So, the brain's willing,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29but the body might not carry me the whole way.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You will lead by example.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34They will look up to you,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37which means you will be physically more superior,
0:05:37 > 0:05:38you will have leadership.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You will be a role model to them.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Open the bag.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Hold it up.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Listen to me carefully, you will place it on the shrine.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Yes, sir.- When you address me it will be Ak!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Do you understand?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Ak!
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Good. Place it on the shrine.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Make it look good and pretty.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Selection for the South Korean UDT
0:06:08 > 0:06:10is 60% water-based
0:06:10 > 0:06:13and 40% on land over a ten-week period.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15It begins with a Gosa ceremony
0:06:15 > 0:06:16to bring good fortune
0:06:16 > 0:06:19to see candidates through the recruitment process.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25The pig in Korea stands for prosperity.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Good luck.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30You are about to enter my world, enter my hell week.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Everybody get wet! Everybody in the water!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39What is it that's going to be different about what you're doing?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Well, our training is going to consist of
0:06:41 > 0:06:42a lot of water-type exercises
0:06:42 > 0:06:45and that's what separates us from other units,
0:06:45 > 0:06:46is being comfortable in the water.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52They're going to be cold, wet and tired.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54They'll also know how to swim.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56At just seven degrees,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00it's clear that not all recruits are comfortable in the ocean.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Water is something I'm completely petrified of.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Despite finishing second from last during the Memory Hill challenge,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15under the Polish GROM veteran,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Palama put in a impressive performance in Last Man Standing,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21at the hands of our US Green Berets...
0:07:23 > 0:07:25..where she was the final remaining female.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Come on, then.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Physically and mentally,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I think I can just keep doing it
0:07:31 > 0:07:34unless it's something that I'm completely petrified of.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Are you really able to think when your face is in the sand like that?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44First ten seconds, you're thinking about the pain, after that,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46the pain is not going to go away,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48so they're going to have to suck it up and be able to think.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51If they can't, all they need to do is get up and say they want to quit.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54This is our environment.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00You'd better be comfortable in the water to get through this training.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Modelled on the real ROK UDT selection process,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09this task is designed to identify who can handle the ocean.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Can you show them the bridge position, please?
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Thank you. Drop.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Get back into the bridge position!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Flynn struggled during the sleep deprivation exercise
0:08:48 > 0:08:50with the South African Recces veteran.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And after pushing his team-mates too hard
0:08:55 > 0:08:58during rifle PT under the Green Beret...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Right, watch. Right.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03..he ultimately won their respect in the final exercise.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07See that line up there, straight between it, up to the top.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08You're a good leader, big man.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10You're a good leader, boy.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12What I need to prove to myself,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15a plimsolled ballerina from Edinburgh
0:09:15 > 0:09:18can certainly strive to take on special forces.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Get back into the bridge position.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Don't let the water kick your ass.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I can't do it.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's recruit Burch who's first to suffer in the surf.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36I can't. I can't. My shoulder won't bend that way.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44After putting in a strong performance with Rafal,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48formerly of the Polish GROM, amateur boxer and father of three, Burch,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50struggled under our Green Beret.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54We need someone taller than me on the back.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Burch...- I'm lifting that on my own.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01The reason I'm here, two of my kids have type one diabetes.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I keep telling them they can do anything
0:10:03 > 0:10:04they want to do with their life.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Never give up. So I'm going to show them,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09your dad's going to get tortured and he ain't going to give up.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Push-up position. Drop.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Feet on shoulders.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Feet on shoulders.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Better get it going.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You are losing my patience.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26- And the other one.- Go on.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Go on, get your feet up, man.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I'm choking!
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Jesus!
0:10:34 > 0:10:36What is going on here? Kick up. Kick up!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Allan, you're the class leader! Get up!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44You're the class leader, get up!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Ordered into punishing positions,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49it's team leader Allan who is suffering.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Push-up. It's just push-up.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Stop. I'm going to have to go.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58And the ocean soon claims its first victim of the day.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Birch, I quit.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Birch, I quit.- Louder.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Birch, I quit.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Get out of here.- Birch has just quit. What?
0:11:09 > 0:11:10How many you got?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- 13!- Why?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Because this is tough.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16What's happened, Birch, what's happened?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I've got an injury on my shoulder and it won't...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Them movements he's making us do, I can't.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Birch, I'm really frustrated for you,
0:11:22 > 0:11:23because you've been increasingly strong.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26I'm frustrated. I'm one of the strongest, I know.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It's just on my shoulder.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31It's gradually getting worse.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Stand! Come on!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Stand up!
0:11:37 > 0:11:38What is up with this class?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43The water is absolutely freezing.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44The positions they want us to be in
0:11:44 > 0:11:48just make you feel like you're being drowned.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50It's all about the temperature of the water.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Everybody, lie down on your back.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Head towards the surf. Link arms.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58There you go.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Feel the water.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02During prolonged exercise in the ocean,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05if their body temperature goes below 32 degrees,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08hypothermia is a real threat.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13When I say "backs", your feet will touch the sand behind your head.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Backs!
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Backs.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Backs.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Just six minutes later, another recruit quits.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- I quit.- Name?
0:12:41 > 0:12:42- Flynn.- Go.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Flynn...
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Stand together. What's this gap doing here?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I hit a wall. I probably hit a wall yesterday.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I was kind of in a position where I wanted to...
0:12:56 > 0:12:57..try and get past it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02But this morning I was like, basically bugger this, man.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05We already have two quitters.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Any more?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- Any more?- ALL:- Negative.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14OK. Move on to the next one.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17It's a bit of a shock to our systems, I think.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18You throw this element in,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21and it sends your brain working in overdrive.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22The cold sets in.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27You choke on a bit of water and panic sets in.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31I will show you what the three-legged bear crawl is.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33The three-legged bear crawl.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Hot-headed Ferguson has already encountered this drill
0:13:36 > 0:13:40during his time with the former Polish special forces operative.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45The bear crawl is horrible cos I've got big, long legs.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47It's easier for the wee midgets.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Come on, Ferguson.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And his attitude has also landed him in trouble.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Ferguson?- Always in trouble at school,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56that's probably part of the reason I was at the fighting, you know.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I had a really quick temper, a quick, flashy temper,
0:13:59 > 0:14:01but I've managed to control it a lot through the years.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Have you got any problems?
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- No.- First position.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I'm here to give a good showing to Scotland.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13The only other Scottish people here is a dancer and a woman,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17so it's kind of all on my shoulders.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18- Oh, man.- Did I hear some bitching?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I think we have an attitude problem here.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Don't be bitching in front of the instructor.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26If you want to bitch, don't let me see it.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- OK?- OK.- OK?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- OK, Ah.- It's Ak.- Ak.- Louder!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Ak!- If you piss me off, I'll just drop you from the course.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Listen up, I will drop you...
0:14:38 > 0:14:40..if you have an attitude problem.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- Is that clear?- ALL:- Ak!
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Butts to heels.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48HE SHOUTS
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Keep it going. Come on.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Team leader Allan attempts to motivate
0:15:02 > 0:15:04the recruits on the 300-metre crawl.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Go on, Fergie.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Bust a gut.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Do not be last.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14But despite his best efforts, Ferguson still finishes last.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18You just got beaten by a girl.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- How are you doing?- No.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- No?- Negative.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23- Louder.- Negative.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Louder!
0:15:27 > 0:15:28Negative.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32It really feels like you're doing everything in your power
0:15:32 > 0:15:33to just break them, at this stage.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Well, the training is designed to be selection.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38We really want to weed out the weak guys
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and take on the guys that want to be seals.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44So, in this case, they are trying to win something.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46And that's what I'm looking for. Winners.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53During selection and in the field,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56ROK UDT operatives have one essential piece of kit
0:15:56 > 0:15:58at their disposal.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01The Inflatable Boat Small, known as the IBS.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08So how important is the boat to your unit, then?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10We're waterborne operators.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Maritime operations unit.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14So boats, it's a symbol to us.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15that's our bread and butter.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18The water is our ally and it's where we come from.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You're all being divided into two teams.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27Boat crew one and boat crew two.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28The 12 remaining recruits
0:16:28 > 0:16:31are divided by height into boat crew one,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34the women, and boat crew two, the men.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Head carry.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Designed to test teamwork,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42they'll compete in a 150-metre competitive duck-walk race,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46carrying the 49 kg boat on their heads.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Listen carefully.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Butt to heels.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51Keep squat. Do it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- All the way down.- Squat down.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Bust 'em!
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Right, left.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Come on, move.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01One...
0:17:01 > 0:17:03We need to step at the same time.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Right, left.- Let's do it together.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Keep moving, guys.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11On the men's team, Ferguson has been spotted cheating.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Pick your head up. Do not use your back.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19What the f...are you doing?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21Get your head under the tube.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Get your head under the...
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Do you want to quit? Do you want to quit?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28You're done. Quit. You're dropped.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Ferguson? What happened, man.- BLEEP.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I mean, Ferguson is raging at the moment, and I can understand why.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44They've been pushed within an inch of their limits today,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46and it feels like it was just too much.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50He's been pushed to the point where he actually got in the face of Ken.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Thankfully, he's calming down.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Reorganise your crew. Hurry up, make it happen.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Right. Onyiuke and Blowes this side, then.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59What caused you to snap?
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I've got a bad temper. And when I lose my temper, I usually just snap.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05But I'm kind of proud of myself in a way,
0:18:05 > 0:18:06because a couple of years ago,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I would probably hit him or pushed him, or done something.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10So I did well not to retaliate.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12So I'm proud of myself for that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- OK, down boat.- Down boat.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Boat two lost three people already, and it's not even lunchtime.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21How many people are going to be gone in the next 48 hours?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22I think natural attrition,
0:18:22 > 0:18:24the guys that hate it the most are probably gone.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27But we've just got to stick tight and just pray
0:18:27 > 0:18:28that he keeps us in there
0:18:28 > 0:18:30for as little time as possible.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32After dumping Ferguson...
0:18:33 > 0:18:37..Ken restarts the race and it's a sprint to the finish.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Trust me, you do not want to lose on this race.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43It will not be pretty.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Bust 'em!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- WOMEN:- One, two, one, two...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51The women start strong, counting out their steps.
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Keep going!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Keep going!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But the longer legs of the men carry them to victory.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00You've got to catch them!
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Get over here.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Boat crew two. You won.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Congratulations. You will have a pleasant lunch.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Boat crew one, you lost.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17Today, you will have lunch in the surf with the boat over your head.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Is that clear?- ALL:- Ak.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21It pays to be a winner. Prepare for lunch.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26In Korean culture,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29public humiliation is deemed the ultimate in disrespect.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Having to eat with that boat on their heads,
0:19:35 > 0:19:36you are really pushing them.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38It's more of a motivational thing.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You can see the other boat crew, relaxing, out in the sun, eating,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44getting rested. And they're still in the surf
0:19:44 > 0:19:45with the boats on their heads.
0:19:45 > 0:19:46It's going to piss them off.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48The next race, I'm sure they can win.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54But the mood on the men's winning crew is far from celebratory,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58as Blowes is coming to terms with the morning's departures.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01They were mates. Birch and Fergie.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Both of them. So, yeah, it'll be different now,
0:20:04 > 0:20:06a different sort of dynamic in the group.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Hoi! You, you, you and you.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Stay behind.- Having begun Ultimate Hell Week
0:20:15 > 0:20:19in the bottom five after the first drill,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21he quickly redeemed himself,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23finishing first in the Concrete Block Run,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and has remained consistent since.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I always dreamed of being in the army when I was a kid.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30It was like, posters on the wall.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33I think I've got what it takes physically to get through this
0:20:33 > 0:20:35because I'm an endurance athlete.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40I've been running competitively for the last ten, 11 years.
0:20:40 > 0:20:41Keep it going, man.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44I don't think there's anything that would make me quit.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Just do what I have to do to get me through to the end of that day.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52Every single day, I'm a day closer to going home to see my family,
0:20:52 > 0:20:53so that's what I'm going to do.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Approaching six hours under the command
0:20:59 > 0:21:03of a former South Korean special forces operative...
0:21:03 > 0:21:05You will undress.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09..the 11 remaining recruits prepare for the next exercise.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Man, if I were them,
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'd give up trying to predict what's going to happen.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15They've been told to strip and line up.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18This is going to get really messy.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20This is my tidal pool.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23The first exercise will be a breath-hold exercise.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29With 60% of the ROK UDT selection being water-based,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31recruits will need to demonstrate
0:21:31 > 0:21:34that they're comfortable being underwater.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Don't half-ass it,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38cos you can really get killed in this training evolution.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Three times, they'll be made to stand with their heads upside down
0:21:41 > 0:21:45and fully submerged in the thinking-man position.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Each time they'll spend longer underwater.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Expect water to go in your noses and into your pretty little braids.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yes, it stinks, but it's not the end of the world.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Those who fail this phase will be made to stand at the Wall Of Shame.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and will be in danger of being sent home.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Get into position.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08When we become operators,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12a lot of our operations involve infiltrating from the ocean.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15We have to dive underwater, we have to swim on the surface.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19If I want to operate with people who are competent,
0:22:19 > 0:22:20they better be able to pass these tests.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Submerge.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Stand up.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44After 20 seconds under water,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46all the recruits make it through to the next round.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Submerge.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Wall of Shame. Go.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07But after another 15 seconds,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Donoghue and Palama can't take it any longer.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15The two women find themselves at the Wall of Shame
0:23:15 > 0:23:16and on Ken's blacklist.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18THEY SOB
0:23:20 > 0:23:21Stand up!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25After 30 seconds, Ken releases the recruits.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Get them up.- But worse is to come.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30One more round. Submerge.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Stand up.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Congratulations. You've completed three rounds of the breath-hold.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Get out of the water. Go.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Everyone out of the water, quick!
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I started, like, panicking with my breathing,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08and then let some water in.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Then I had to come up then.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I think I probably had about five seconds to go.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13Get back into formation.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17You want to quit?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- No, Ak.- What about you? - Negative, Ak.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Your next evolution, you will retrieve a dive mask.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Recruits will have three attempts
0:24:31 > 0:24:34to retrieve the goggles with their hands tied behind their back.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Failure will mean facing the Wall of Shame.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44You are only allowed to use your legs to get you under...
0:24:46 > 0:24:48..and your teeth to pick up the dive mask.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Are you laughing? Am I funny?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- No, Ak.- I think you're laughing. Am I funny?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55- No, Ak.- Do you want to quit?
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Yes, Ak.- Then quit. Say your name and say what you want to do.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I just can't go under the water, Ak,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05with my arms tied behind my back.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Then quit. Say it.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08I want to quit, Ak.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Go.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Does anybody else want to quit?
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Palama is the first woman to leave today.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Hang in there, hang in there. Hang in there.
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Earlier on today, you were saying
0:25:18 > 0:25:20that you weren't comfortable in the water.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22What is it about this that's made you walk away?
0:25:22 > 0:25:23I just can't go under.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24I find it really hard.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30You get three tries.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Three tries to find your mask.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34If you don't do it in three tries,
0:25:34 > 0:25:37that is an automatic fail.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Boat crew one, enter the water.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49First up, is Parrott...
0:25:49 > 0:25:50Submerge.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07..who succeeds on her second attempt.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Submerge.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Next is Downham...
0:26:14 > 0:26:15..who struggles...
0:26:17 > 0:26:18I will drop you.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Get under now.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27..but also succeeds after two attempts.
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Good job.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Surf instructor Thompson wastes no time
0:26:34 > 0:26:37in collecting the goggles on her first go.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Good.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Mok is the first to fail, and sent to the Wall of Shame...
0:26:49 > 0:26:50You are a failure.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Donoghue, you are a failure.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02..quickly followed by Donoghue,
0:27:02 > 0:27:05who is sent to the Wall of Shame for the second time.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Next up in the tidal pool, is boat crew two, the men's team.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Durant is unable to retrieve the goggles.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Wall of Shame.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Failed. Walk to the Wall of Shame.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Despite his best efforts, Blowes also fails.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Sparks is the first of the men to successfully collect the goggles.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Congratulations. Submerge.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Quickly followed by Onyiuke on his first attempt.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52Good job.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Submerge.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Finally, team leader Allan is up.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03After a poor performance this morning, he needs to impress Ken...
0:28:07 > 0:28:10..but fails to retrieve the goggles on his first two attempts.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Final try.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Good job.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Recruits who were unsuccessful in the dive mask retrieval
0:28:31 > 0:28:34have been made to hold an eight kg sandbag
0:28:34 > 0:28:35as part of their humiliation.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Fight it. Come on.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45The final phase is a 50-metre competitive swim
0:28:45 > 0:28:47with their hands behind their backs.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51If recruits' feet touch the sand, they're immediately disqualified.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Who will be the toughest one?
0:28:55 > 0:28:56So listen carefully.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02During actual ROK UDT selection,
0:29:02 > 0:29:06recruits must swim with both arms and legs bound for 100 metres,
0:29:06 > 0:29:12and is used to identify those who are fearless in the water.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Lean against the wall.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Are you ready?
0:29:16 > 0:29:17- ALL:- Ak.- Bust 'em!
0:29:25 > 0:29:29Onyiuke panics and his feet quickly touch the sand.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Stand up.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Allan and Thompson follow suit.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Stand up, Allan. Stay there.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Having represented Scotland at swimming,
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Downham is ahead of Sparks and Parrott.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45The race to impress Ken is well and truly on.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Sparks comes in first place...
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Good job, stand up.
0:30:15 > 0:30:16..followed by Downham.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Good job, stand up.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24It looks like Parrott is struggling at the moment.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26She is the last recruit to make it back in.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Good job, Parrott, stand up.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37See you at base camp.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Move.- Ak!
0:30:46 > 0:30:52After nine hours of water-based exercises, this phase is over.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58It's been a really sort of wet and cold day.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I think I've sort of reached my lowest point
0:31:02 > 0:31:04throughout the entire journey, so far.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08I was closest probably to Palama in the group, and when she left...
0:31:09 > 0:31:11..yeah, I kind of had to re-evaluate things,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14but I had a good chat with Mok
0:31:14 > 0:31:15after the second challenge,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18and decided that I was just going to battle on.
0:31:21 > 0:31:27Psychologically coping with the rapid loss of recruits
0:31:27 > 0:31:29was really tricky.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33That's not exactly a great sign of leadership, is it, you know?
0:31:37 > 0:31:38During military training,
0:31:38 > 0:31:43candidates burn an average of 4,500 calories per day.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Back at base, our recruits are desperate for their evening meal.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Take a seat at the dining table.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Boat crew one, you're on my left, boat crew two, you're on my right.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I prepared a very special feast for you.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04In my country, it is customary to eat the pig's head
0:32:04 > 0:32:05after the gosa ritual.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I'm going to call out a few names.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Anyone who failed a task earlier today will not be getting fed.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Go, now.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20The rest of you, enjoy your meal...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23..enjoy the night.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Instead, they must face the consequences.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Your mission today...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38..is to fill this jar up with white rice.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40You only get to use chopsticks.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Nothing else.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46To make their task harder, the white rice is mixed with brown rice.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50If you don't complete the task,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52of course, there'll be another punishment,
0:32:52 > 0:32:57and that's going to be miserable, so choose wisely which you want to do.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Is that clear?- ALL:- Ak!
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Shrug?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04How about you get into the thinking-man position? Drop.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06How about you stick it up your arse?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18He said to me, "Get in to the thinking-man's position,"
0:33:18 > 0:33:22which I've been in quite a substantial amount of today,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24which I've got a real sore head from doing it.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26And he wanted me to do it on the concrete, so I just said, no.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I've just had enough of him, simple as that.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37One hour later, Ken returns to the rice-picking recruits.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Stand up.
0:33:45 > 0:33:50This test was designed to break your will.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51Obviously, it broke Blowe's.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54You all saw that. You have earned
0:33:54 > 0:33:57the privilege to go to sleep, to eat.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Tomorrow morning, I'll see you again.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- Thank you.- Thank you.- Can we have a group hug now?
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- I thought we were going to be here all night.- Well done, guys.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Guys, that just goes to show you never know what's coming next.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Never quit.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12If you have a bad attitude, I'll find a way to break them.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's only a matter of time.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16People with good attitudes, like these guys,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18there are those certain groups of people,
0:34:18 > 0:34:21you can do whatever you can to them, break them all day long,
0:34:21 > 0:34:23but they'll still be laughing at the end of the day.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Why? It's their attitude, it's their heart, going strong.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31that's what I want to see, and that's what I saw tonight.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35After a bruising 24 hours under Ken's instruction,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38four guys and one girl have exited the process.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- It's not normal, is it? That's not normal.- Can you see them?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Are they as bad as they feel, or not really?
0:34:46 > 0:34:47I think the fact that there's
0:34:47 > 0:34:49more girls then there are guys
0:34:49 > 0:34:51and we started off with way more males in the whole process
0:34:51 > 0:34:55than there were females, just shows how flipping strong they are.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59The bruises are from Sparks, just trying to claw at me, as well.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Don't say that on camera.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I have done no such thing.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15It's day two with Lieutenant Ken Rhee,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18former operative of the South Korean special forces,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22and the recruits aren't expecting any let up.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Got the whole beach in here.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28No, the last day of each instructor has proven to be,
0:35:28 > 0:35:30like, absolute hell.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Allan, who was made leader by Ken...
0:35:36 > 0:35:37What we'll do, it's 30 minutes past,
0:35:37 > 0:35:40we'll give each other two more minutes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42..will need to demonstrate his team motivational skills
0:35:42 > 0:35:45and a selfless attitude that is expected of his role
0:35:45 > 0:35:48in order to stay off the lieutenant's radar today.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51It's leading adults.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's a piece of cake, piece of cake.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57I've never heard one of them say a bad word against the other, at all.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Even muttering under their breath, even as a side comment.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05But Allan's approach to running the team
0:36:05 > 0:36:08has begun to rub some of the other recruits the wrong way.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10I can't deal with it.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- I can't deal with it either.- He told us to "man up" earlier, and that...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17I thought I was going to explode,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19because there's more women here than men now,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22so I think we've proved they need to "women up". Yeah.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Coin the phrase, let's do it.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Oh, God, I was about to hit the roof.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Someone was going to get hurt, and it wasn't going to be me.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Just after 8am,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35the recruits are led to the parade ground by directing staff
0:36:35 > 0:36:37to await instructions from Ken.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Did everybody get a good night's sleep?- ALL:- Ak.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51Good. Because today, is where the real training starts.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Yesterday was a cake walk.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55In front of me there are tyres...
0:36:57 > 0:37:01..yes, three large, three medium, three small.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02We will do a race.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14With their tyres, recruits will race 1,400 metres
0:37:14 > 0:37:16to the bottom of base camp and back,
0:37:16 > 0:37:20dragging their tyres up a 300-metre elevation to the finish.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27It is an individual event.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29It would be wise of you to take the smallest tyre.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33You will pay...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36..if you are anything but first place.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38The crews are about to race for their tyres,
0:37:38 > 0:37:39and if I was one of them,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41what I'd be going for is one of the smaller ones
0:37:41 > 0:37:43because they race down the hill
0:37:43 > 0:37:45and straight up follows this.
0:37:45 > 0:37:46Are you ready?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- ALL:- Ak!- Bust 'em.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58Sparks, Durant and Onyiuke each take the large 52kg-tyre.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Allan opts for the medium 70kg-tyre, along with Downham and Thompson,
0:38:03 > 0:38:05while Mok, Donoghue and Parrott
0:38:05 > 0:38:08take the smallest eight-kg tyres.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14What is the reason for this particular evolution?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15It's a two-point evolution,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17so the first part is about making decisions.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19They get to pick whatever tyre they want.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22If they are noble enough, they'll choose the biggest tyre.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24They made the right decision. With the exception of the class leader,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27which pissed me off, because he's the class leader,
0:38:27 > 0:38:29regardless of his physical fitness level or his age.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32So you would have expected him to go for one of the biggest tyres,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34regardless of his capabilities?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36That's what the leader has to do, make sacrifices,
0:38:36 > 0:38:37but he didn't do that.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Donoghue takes the early lead, with a smaller eight-kg tyre...
0:38:47 > 0:38:51..closely followed by Mok, and Parrott, pulling the same weight.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Allan is first of the men, in fourth place,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56with the medium 17-kg tyre.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Trailing at the back and making slow progress are the rest of the men,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02with the 52-kg tyres.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04With the bigger tyres I expect them to quit,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07because they did a long hike up the mountain,
0:39:07 > 0:39:11and maybe I could get somebody to quit.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22Donoghue is the first to reach the halfway point and starts her ascent.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Downhill good, uphill bad.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31So far firefighter Donoghue has suffered under the command
0:39:31 > 0:39:34of every special forces veteran she's faced...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40..be it drinking the stomach juice of a springbok...
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Thank you, Colonel.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46..or heavy lifting in log PT, under our Green Beret.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51I'm only little, but appearances can be deceiving.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I'm not an extreme sports person.
0:39:53 > 0:39:54I spend time with my kids.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I do a bit of fitness. I've got a physical job.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00I do the same as what all the guys do at work.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02I never give up.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could win it.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Donoghue, you are looking good.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09- Thank you.- Keep it up!
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- You are in first place, aren't you? - Ak!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Off the back of what was a pretty tough day for Donoghue yesterday,
0:40:18 > 0:40:21today, she's the first one in with her tyre.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24She made it back, and she looks pretty happy with herself as well.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26First one in, Donoghue.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- First one in.- First one.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33She makes it back in a time of ten minutes and five seconds.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Allan, canter, don't lose to a girl.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Don't lose to a girl.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39I want you to catch Parrott.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Let's go. Catch Parrott.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Come on, she's running, she's running on the left leg.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Come on, so close, so close, let's go.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Not over yet. Come on! Cut through, Parrott, go.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Next is Parrott. With the smaller eight-kg tyre,
0:40:57 > 0:41:02beating Allan to second place, with a time of 11 minutes 26 seconds.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05They are followed by Mok, Thompson and Downham.
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Anything other than first place
0:41:09 > 0:41:12is rewarded with the thinking-man's position,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15where candidates will have to remain until the final recruit
0:41:15 > 0:41:17crosses the finish line.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20After yesterday, I felt like I needed to redeem myself
0:41:20 > 0:41:23and just prove that I'm back in the game for good.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28So, yeah, grabbed my tyre and ran like hell.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Not long, not much more.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34Pulling the heaviest 52-kg tyre,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38Onyiuke finishes in a time of 36 minutes 59 seconds.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Durant makes it back dead-on 47 minutes...
0:41:46 > 0:41:48..which leaves one recruit out on the course.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53You know what DL stands for - Dead Last.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55That is the worst place to be.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Do you have doubts about yourself right now?
0:42:00 > 0:42:01Always.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08At just 24, Sparks is no stranger to tests of endurance.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11In 2013, I rowed across the Atlantic Ocean.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14In 2014, I rowed across the Indian Ocean.
0:42:14 > 0:42:15I got six Guinness World Records from that.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19If I die, I love you, Mum.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24During his time under the former Polish GROM instructor,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27he made hard work of the 10km run.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Sparks, how are you hanging up?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33I am hanging out, Reggie, out my arse.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Physically I've done lots of tough stuff before.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39I've got to think, whatever comes my way, I will get through it,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41no matter what, and I will never stop.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43And he'll have to dig deep once again.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Sparks, I'm sorry to tell you,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48but we're not too close to the finish line.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- You do realise that.- Ak.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52But you still want to continue on.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Ak!- OK, let's do it.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Look how close you are.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Look how close you are.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Give it all you've got, everything you've got left.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- Come on, Sparks, well done.- Last bit, Sparky, go on, push it.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07All the way, all the way...
0:43:08 > 0:43:10- Yes, yes.- Well done.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Sparks finishes in a time of 55 minutes.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Never been in that position of...
0:43:19 > 0:43:21..not knowing how I was going to get through it.
0:43:23 > 0:43:24So probably...
0:43:26 > 0:43:28..it's the most mentally I've ever dug in.
0:43:31 > 0:43:33Students, listen up.
0:43:33 > 0:43:36Awesome performance by all of you.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40I clearly stated that it was an individual event.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43You made it into a teamwork evolution.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48The men in this group chose the largest tyres,
0:43:48 > 0:43:50except Mr Class Leader, Allan.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53You were the class leader.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55Your job is to make sacrifices.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Do I make myself clear?
0:43:57 > 0:43:58Ak!
0:44:00 > 0:44:04The girls, that was a good performance, good effort.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09You will now move on to the next evolution.
0:44:09 > 0:44:13This evolution is called peer evaluation.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16The peer evaluation is designed to weed out any recruits
0:44:16 > 0:44:18falling under the instructor's radar
0:44:18 > 0:44:21during the real ROK UDT selection process.
0:44:21 > 0:44:25Candidates are assessed by their fellow recruits on a weekly basis.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28The exercise is designed to motivate candidates
0:44:28 > 0:44:30to continually up their game
0:44:30 > 0:44:32in an effort to avoid being voted bottom peer.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35Answer honestly.
0:44:35 > 0:44:39Parrott, who would you most not like on your team, and why?
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Allan, because he gets too much, he gets too stressed.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47I think he just needs to calm down a bit, and it stresses me out.
0:44:48 > 0:44:53Allan. I struggle with his leadership skills.
0:44:53 > 0:44:56I pick Allan. I think he's a really lovely guy,
0:44:56 > 0:44:59but he struggles physically.
0:45:00 > 0:45:02More than halfway down the line,
0:45:02 > 0:45:05and at the moment, every single recruit has chosen Allan
0:45:05 > 0:45:08as the person they'd least like to have on their team.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10This has got to be difficult for Allan right now.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11Sparks.
0:45:12 > 0:45:13I pick Mok, just because
0:45:13 > 0:45:16I think she struggles with the weighted marches.
0:45:17 > 0:45:20At the moment, I'm in love with powerlifting.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23I love showing that women can be powerful.
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Mok struggled in the concrete block run,
0:45:27 > 0:45:30under the South African recce's veteran,
0:45:30 > 0:45:32and didn't excel during the Polish GROM training.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Mok, do you want to quit?
0:45:36 > 0:45:37No, sir.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39I think I have what it takes physically to be here.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41I train in multiple disciplines.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45I think my mental strength is what will help me.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50She's now been identified as one of the weaker members of the team,
0:45:50 > 0:45:53and is at risk of being dismissed from the process.
0:45:54 > 0:45:57Allan, who would you least like on your team and why?
0:45:59 > 0:46:02Mok, because she is the least emotionally stable person here.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06With a total of three votes for Mok and six for Allan,
0:46:06 > 0:46:09they are the only two recruits to receive nominations.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12Allan and Mok, step forward.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21The sign to my right in Korean says hadan pieo,
0:46:21 > 0:46:24which means bottom peer.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27Go to that sign, stay under there until further instructions. Move!
0:46:35 > 0:46:36Class dismissed.
0:46:44 > 0:46:48As their punishment, Allan and Mok are publicly shamed
0:46:48 > 0:46:50in front of the rest of their peers.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54If you're describing Allan as one of the weaker links,
0:46:54 > 0:46:55how would you describe Mok?
0:46:55 > 0:46:57Allan is getting on my radar because he sucks,
0:46:57 > 0:47:00but then, Mok, she's just like in between,
0:47:00 > 0:47:03not in the top performance or in the bottom performance.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05that's why the class picked her out.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07OK, so what is this separation going to do to our recruits?
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Is it going to separate them permanently?
0:47:09 > 0:47:11I'm not planning on punishing these guys physically.
0:47:11 > 0:47:13I'm going to let it sink in,
0:47:13 > 0:47:16this is more painful because it's more mental.
0:47:16 > 0:47:18They're going to be embarrassed.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20They know that the class not necessarily hates them,
0:47:20 > 0:47:22but lacks respect.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Just to let you know, whatever happens,
0:47:28 > 0:47:30I don't hold anything against you at all.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31Cool, the same.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36- Oh, they probably feel- BLEEP,- stood underneath that sign at the moment.
0:47:36 > 0:47:38And I can't blame them.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41I would. At this point in the competition,
0:47:41 > 0:47:44we've all really got to push and work together as a team,
0:47:44 > 0:47:45otherwise we're just going to crumble.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49Yeah, if I didn't think my team wanted to work with me,
0:47:49 > 0:47:52it would really hurt,
0:47:52 > 0:47:54and then you're sort of on the back foot then,
0:47:54 > 0:47:58trying to prove your position, which is not a nice place to be in.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07- WHISPERS:- I'm not ready to go home yet. No, no, no.
0:48:09 > 0:48:12After two hours, they re-join the group.
0:48:17 > 0:48:18Now, only one challenge stands
0:48:18 > 0:48:21between the recruits and the final parade,
0:48:21 > 0:48:23where anyone can be sent home.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29It's time for the last drill
0:48:29 > 0:48:32under their former South Korean special forces operative.
0:48:32 > 0:48:33Down boat.
0:48:33 > 0:48:34Down boat.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36Down boat.
0:48:40 > 0:48:41This next evolution...
0:48:43 > 0:48:45..is extremely, extremely difficult.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51For their final exercise the group will be back in their original crews
0:48:51 > 0:48:56from the previous day for a 3.5km boat-carry race.
0:48:56 > 0:49:00They'll need to carry the 49kg boat on their heads
0:49:00 > 0:49:02and navigate around the mountainside
0:49:02 > 0:49:05with an unforgiving 407-metre elevation
0:49:05 > 0:49:08in the searing South African heat.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11This is your time to show me what you've got.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13This is our signature event.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15It's the event that weeds most of the recruits out.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17- Got it?- ALL:- Ak!
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Suddenly, they're heading up this hill in this heat.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23Running up this mountain is going to be very, very hot
0:49:23 > 0:49:27and the weather is hot, so somebody might get heatstroke.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29Prepare left boat, up boat.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33So do you have your eyes on any recruits?
0:49:33 > 0:49:38Mok and the class leader, Allan, and I'll be watching them very closely.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40I hope they turn themselves around,
0:49:40 > 0:49:44but that peer evaluation came with a little ass-kicking.
0:49:48 > 0:49:51- Boat carry leaders, are you ready? - BOTH:- Ak!
0:49:53 > 0:49:54Bust 'em.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Run.
0:50:02 > 0:50:06One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Remember, they are burning up.
0:50:08 > 0:50:09- We'll be fine.- Get up there.
0:50:09 > 0:50:10Come on, girls.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16- Get closer.- Come on, guys, let's take a bit, push a bit.
0:50:16 > 0:50:17Guys, move it.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20After 400 metres, the men have a slender lead.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26What's it like working in a team when the team doesn't respect you?
0:50:26 > 0:50:29I don't know, because my team do respect me.
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Well, they voted you out.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34- How does it feel?- It feels good that I'm working with good people.
0:50:35 > 0:50:38With a reinvigorated team leader Allan at the helm,
0:50:38 > 0:50:41the men begin to pull away from the women's boat crew.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Come on, let's jog a bit.
0:50:43 > 0:50:45Let's jog, come on.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Mok, I'm coming over, I'm coming over.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50As the gap between the two boat crews widens,
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Donoghue tries to motivate the women.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54We've got this, girls.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56We've got it.
0:50:56 > 0:51:00But after almost 48 hours in and out of the thinking-man position,
0:51:00 > 0:51:03they're finding it hard balancing the heavy boat on their heads
0:51:03 > 0:51:06and maintaining a steady pace.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10Four, five, six.
0:51:10 > 0:51:11My neck. Slow it down.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13It bounces on our heads, it kills.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17Pick up the pace, Allan.
0:51:17 > 0:51:18Durant, are you OK?
0:51:18 > 0:51:23With 600 metres to go, the men have established an insurmountable lead.
0:51:23 > 0:51:24Pick up the pace, Allan.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28It'll all be over soon.
0:51:28 > 0:51:30We're almost there, guys, come on.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32Last jog to the corner, come on.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34Jog to the corner, come on.
0:51:34 > 0:51:35Let's go.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Allan is charging, he's driving the team forward,
0:51:37 > 0:51:39and they've made it, they're here.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41I don't know how.
0:51:41 > 0:51:42Over here, over here.
0:51:42 > 0:51:44Prepare to down boat.
0:51:44 > 0:51:45Down boat.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50Boat crew leader, let your guys hydrate.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Drink.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Meanwhile, the women are suffering under the scorching sun.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01Downham, do you need to top up?
0:52:01 > 0:52:04Replenishing fluid loss is vital to preventing dehydration,
0:52:04 > 0:52:08because exercising in extreme temperatures can lead to heatstroke,
0:52:08 > 0:52:11a deadly condition if not identified quickly.
0:52:11 > 0:52:13We're just going to get to the top
0:52:13 > 0:52:15because I don't want nobody quitting on me.
0:52:15 > 0:52:16- Up boat.- ALL:- Up boat!
0:52:20 > 0:52:21Ready.
0:52:21 > 0:52:22Go. Go on, then, ladies.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28Come on, guys.
0:52:28 > 0:52:29Come on.
0:52:29 > 0:52:33Hydrated, Donoghue and Mok motivate their team back into action.
0:52:33 > 0:52:39Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
0:52:39 > 0:52:43Left, left, left, right, left.
0:52:43 > 0:52:45Come on, guys.
0:52:45 > 0:52:48Let's go, come on. Get it up here.
0:52:48 > 0:52:49Come on, girls.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52- Straight.- Hold it.
0:52:52 > 0:52:53Come on.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56Boat crew leader, set your boat down next to boat crew two.
0:52:56 > 0:52:58OK. Keep forward, keep forward.
0:52:58 > 0:53:00- Down boat.- Prepare to down boat.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Down boat.
0:53:04 > 0:53:05On your feet.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10Boat crew two, you've won, congratulations.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Boat crew one, you lost.
0:53:12 > 0:53:14I've seen what I needed to see.
0:53:14 > 0:53:16The next time I see you will be at file parade.
0:53:16 > 0:53:17Hydrate.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Well done.
0:53:25 > 0:53:28We all worked our butts off in that,
0:53:28 > 0:53:30and if anybody slacked, we would have known.
0:53:30 > 0:53:32We wouldn't have finished.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35I think teamwork-wise, we all worked really well together,
0:53:35 > 0:53:39we all put a lot of effort in and motivated each other all the way up.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42- Good job.- I don't think I'm safe.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46I'm the old geezer, quite clearly, I've had weaknesses.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Clearly stated by my recruits.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53If they see it, the boss has got to see it too.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02The nine recruits have survived two days of hell
0:54:02 > 0:54:06at the hands of their South Korean special forces veteran.
0:54:06 > 0:54:09It's now time to face Ken to find out who will be sent home.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13You have been the toughest expert.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16You dismissed one person, and four people walked away on the first day.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18I knew that I was going to get some quitters
0:54:18 > 0:54:20on the first day, definitely.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22They quit because I hit their weak points.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Allan, he's the oldest guy in the class,
0:54:26 > 0:54:29probably the least confident in the class.
0:54:29 > 0:54:33I know he's trying, giving it 110%, and Allan's boat crew,
0:54:33 > 0:54:38I think they took on board Allan's direction, and they made it work.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41So if I had to pick one grey mate, it'd be Mok.
0:54:41 > 0:54:47I think she lacks teamwork and that's why she had three votes.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Donoghue, she had a horrible time on the first day.
0:54:50 > 0:54:54And she almost said the words, "I want to quit",
0:54:54 > 0:54:55but for some reason she stopped.
0:54:55 > 0:54:59To see her go from that, to bossing it on the tyre task -
0:54:59 > 0:55:01in fact, winning it -
0:55:01 > 0:55:03were you surprised, or is that what you expected?
0:55:03 > 0:55:07I was surprised. I did not expect her to win the tyre exercise,
0:55:07 > 0:55:09but she turned it 180 degrees.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11Well, it's going to be tough to see one of them go,
0:55:11 > 0:55:14so I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Now I need to talk about my shit list.
0:55:28 > 0:55:33Allan, Mok, you are both on my list and you know why.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37Mok, you need to change your attitude.
0:55:37 > 0:55:41You need to strive for that top performance level.
0:55:41 > 0:55:42Do you understand?
0:55:42 > 0:55:44Ak.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Allan,
0:55:46 > 0:55:48you have been hanging on a thread.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50You are physically weak and you know it.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55You guys know the drill. I need to cut some people.
0:55:59 > 0:56:00You all did very well.
0:56:00 > 0:56:04In the boat misery evolution, you showed leadership, teamwork,
0:56:04 > 0:56:06most importantly, brotherhood.
0:56:09 > 0:56:10You made me proud.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17I'm not going to cut anybody.
0:56:20 > 0:56:22I thank you for participating in this challenge with me,
0:56:22 > 0:56:26and I wish you luck for your further training.
0:56:26 > 0:56:27Farewell.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36If he had cut me off the recruit side,
0:56:36 > 0:56:37I'd have been really disappointed,
0:56:37 > 0:56:40because I still feel I have a lot to give.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47THEY LAUGH
0:56:49 > 0:56:51We were a good team together,
0:56:51 > 0:56:53so I was hoping that after today's performance,
0:56:53 > 0:56:55everybody putting 100% in,
0:56:55 > 0:56:58that that would be the outcome.
0:56:58 > 0:57:00And I think he was fair.
0:57:00 > 0:57:01UK women are tough.
0:57:01 > 0:57:04- You really think?- Yeah, I think they're tougher than UK men.
0:57:04 > 0:57:07I haven't trained women in the military,
0:57:07 > 0:57:10but training these girls up for the past two days,
0:57:10 > 0:57:12I mean, they definitely changed my mind
0:57:12 > 0:57:15about females being in special operations.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17One of the main things that's keeping me going is definitely
0:57:17 > 0:57:19the rest of the girls in the team.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23They are all so, so strong and a few of us have had our weak points,
0:57:23 > 0:57:27but we pick each other up and get each other to keep going.
0:57:27 > 0:57:29You want to come in here? Come on in!
0:57:29 > 0:57:30You're so sweaty!
0:57:30 > 0:57:33Unfortunately I don't smell as bad as you guys!
0:57:33 > 0:57:35- We stink.- That's what you think!
0:57:35 > 0:57:36That's not very nice.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39Did you see that coming? Did you think someone was going home?
0:57:39 > 0:57:40We gave everything.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42Yeah, you both still pulled through,
0:57:42 > 0:57:43you still completed it all, so...
0:57:43 > 0:57:45He just doesn't want quitters.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47Yeah. You're all tough as nails.
0:57:47 > 0:57:48Well done.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51All nine of us are an incredibly tight-knit group now,
0:57:51 > 0:57:54and we're all nursing loads and loads of injuries.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57But at the same time, we're in incredibly high spirits.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02So we're sure that we're going to be able to push on together as a group
0:58:02 > 0:58:04and just do our best.
0:58:04 > 0:58:05Next time.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11The nine remaining recruits face two veterans of GIGN...
0:58:12 > 0:58:13Fighting stance.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17..an elite unit of the French police.
0:58:17 > 0:58:20Here, here, come on.
0:58:20 > 0:58:23Their physical and mental strength will be challenged.
0:58:24 > 0:58:26Unfortunately, you're going home.
0:58:26 > 0:58:27And they will face a selection method
0:58:27 > 0:58:30that will test every ounce of their nerves.
0:58:30 > 0:58:31GUN FIRES
