Original subtitles

This programme contains very strong language from the outset.

Selection for the SAS is a test like no other.

We're looking for people that don't fit the mould...

..that are willing to break the rules.

That have got a maverick element about them.

To find that, it takes men to a world far from our own.

In this series, an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers

is putting 25 civilians...

Submerge yourself!

..through the toughest stage of selection.

Jungle phase is selection.

If you can soldier in the jungle,

you can soldier anywhere.

Let's go!

Each task based on the real process.

You are fighting for a place on this course!

Operating in the harshest environment known to man...

Some of us are that close to passing out.

Each recruit must go beyond the physical...

How many chances do you want? One more, staff.

..to come face-to-face with their true character.

In my head, the demons are there,

always saying, "Am I good enough to be here?"

GUNSHOT, SCREAMING

This is where we find out, do people run?

Or do people fight?

I just want to see your heads.

No other test asks as much...

SOBBING

..Or means as much...

..to the few who make it through.

I was employed to meet violence on violence.

Right, let's go.

I was always confident that I would go into a door,

and I'd always have the drop on anyone.

Just the way that I moved,

the way that I would think,

and you being the attacker, the aggressor,

you don't hesitate.

You find that people would pause,

and that always gave you that split second to do what you had to do.

After a gruelling first stage, eight recruits have dropped out.

17 now face the next phase of selection.

It's designed to bring out certain characteristics

and certain attributes that you don't know exist within yourself.

But you will find out once you're on selection.

Close up a little bit this way.

Over the next 48 hours, the directing staff will test

the recruits' ability to control their aggression.

This morning, it's all about you as individuals.

This is for you to let a bit of aggression out, to box, mill, spar.

Some of you have probably never been in a fight in your life.

Some of you have been in fights every single weekend.

This event this morning is optional.

So those of you who do not want to take part, put your hand up now.

The recruits haven't been told what is being tested.

So they don't know the correct response.

Stand over there.

Again, gents, you do not have to take part.

Dress over there.

Dress over there.

You two dress over there.

Six recruits choose not to fight,

isolating themselves from the rest of the group.

Everyone want a fight here? ALL: Yes, staff!

Everyone want a fight here? YES, STAFF!

OK? Stare at him. Stare at him.

Start getting in the zone, gents.

Of course I can fight, there's a lot of fire in these bad boys.

When I was in prison, I had to fight.

Number 19, take your position.

Number nine, take your position.

I don't want someone to try and show me

he's the hardest fucker out there.

Bring it in!

I want to know whether he can control it.

Don't touch gloves.

Fight!

Stop!

Bring it in!

Fight!

Good! Fight!

They need to be really careful,

because they could stitch themselves up massively...

Stop!

..if they go in there, windmilling,

beating the living shit out of someone,

and then thinking that they've done well,

because that's not what it's about.

Stop!

Stop!

Next up is recruit ten, Stephen.

I've always been quite a calm,

relaxed person who doesn't like violence.

Whenever I've been out in a pub or club,

and people start having a few too many drinks and getting rowdy,

I sort of try to stay away.

(Look at him.

(He's looking at you. He wants you.

(Get on top of him.

(Punch and keep punching. When he says stop, you stop.)

'There will be surprises...

'how people react.'

Take your positions.

Some people see red and just go mental, and just go crazy.

Come closer.

Fight!

Stop!

Stop!

I've been in a few situations

when I was younger and I have self-destructed.

Wait.

Fight.

Probably a fair bit of anger from my past.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

You two, take your head dress off, go and see the medic.

Yeah, number ten was definitely out of control.

He got angry.

He psyched himself up too much.

Brilliant. Yeah.

Look up.

Taking breaths as you're doing it.

Everything is to replicate the battlefield.

How people are going to be like in combat.

When you have the enemy

coming out at you, firing rounds,

it's hard to not get sort of like a bloodlust, like a dog.

It's hard not to just go into a killing spree.

You need to be able to switch it on and off at the flick of a switch.

And I think that's crucial within the soldier.

That's why we train in the most harshest environments,

because of moments like that.

Do you reckon it would be wrong

to use a pair of my used underpants as a face flannel?

I used mine.

Dirty underpants to wipe something earlier.

Face flannel!

The directing staff are concerned

by Steven's loss of control in the sparring.

It only sort of came to light today in that boxing.

Ant consults the course doctor, Sundeep,

who has psychologically tested each recruit.

In terms of psychopathology,

he scored really low.

So basically, his result is saying,

"I am a nice as pie, wouldn't harm a fly,"

so it may be just one of the guys that are fronting it, pretending.

Number ten!

I joined the Army at 17 1/2.

Obviously come from a broken family,

going into that, it was, it really suited me.

You obviously know the doc here.

Yeah.

Yes what? Yes, staff, sorry.

I wasn't a bad soldier, I was top of everything.

Unfortunately, it didn't sort of work out.

Do you remember the test we did yesterday?

Yes, doc.

What I'm interested in

is what happens to people when they get pushed.

By the looks of this,

this is someone who likes to avoid confrontation and violence.

Would you say that is true? Yeah.

Have you ever got into trouble for violence before? No.

OK. You don't get in fights, stay well away? Yeah.

It's strange to see your results, as someone

that's such a fucking nice guy, that doesn't like confrontation.

So what was going through your head

when you were stood toe to toe and I was just about to tell you to fight?

What went through your head then?

I just went out there, "I'm going to win this.

"I'm going to win this fight."

So you went out quite positively and thought,

"All right, I'm going to kick the shit out of him."

I'll do it and get on with it.

Because when you actually fought, you were like a fucking animal.

I told you to stop about three times, and you were like...

HE SEETHES

I think that fear kicks in.

So an automatic fear, wasn't it? Yeah.

You were so petrified of fighting,

that the only way you dealt with it

was by going to the complete extreme.

OK, that's all I wanted to ask.

He's interesting, that guy. I think he's one of the ones

that just goes completely off. Yeah. As soon as he's under pressure.

If he was in a really violent situation, he's just like, boom,

get the guns out. He would do it.

I would say that's the most dangerous form of aggression,

when it is driven by fear.

And that's why we are constantly applying the pressure,

constantly applying the stress.

We need to see if they can deal with it.

OK, guys? 10.55, five minutes, on parade, normal place.

Make sure you've got your water bottles.

And if he's dead, bury him.

Stand up.

The purpose of the jungle is to see the real character of a person.

If he's a loose cannon,

when the chips are down, and the bullets flying, he's going to be

the guy who's going to fuck it up and let you down.

You cannot rely on him,

and we'll find that, we'll find it every time.

And just get rid of him. He'll be gone.

Closer up.

Get moving!

Me, personally, I'm not an aggressive person.

I don't get pleasure in being aggressive to another human.

It's just not in my nature.

Close it up.

But the military did train me to unlock it,

to harness it and to use it when necessary.

Anyone who can't bring that aggression to the surface

when it's needed is going to fail.

In temperatures over 30 degrees,

the directing staff line up a second test of aggression and control.

I'll call out two numbers.

You will take control of that ball and get it across the other side.

Go!

The task is known as murderball.

Rip it off him and get the fucking ball!

Yes, sir.

This time, the DS focus on the recruits who didn't fight earlier,

like number 24 - Jani.

What intimidates you?

A good looking girl.

No.

There are certain personalities that I don't really get on with,

like the typical alpha male.

Get him!

I have mild epilepsy.

18, get back in there!

I can't apply for the army anyway, so doing this course will be

the closest opportunity I have to experiencing the real SAS selection.

The DS want to give Jani a chance to show what the can do

despite his mild epilepsy.

Go!

Get into him!

It did sometimes make me feel like I need to prove myself a bit extra.

Because I didn't want people to think that because I've got epilepsy

that I was like weak.

Right, I suggest the people at the back get the fuck in there

and prove to me you've got some aggression.

Ten burpees, this side.

What's wrong? It's the pain... Sorry. Come over here.

It all proves too much for the youngest recruit on the course.

What's the problem?

It's just the pain's a bit much for me.

What do you want to do? Withdraw.

You want to withdraw?

OK. Come with me.

It just all got a bit too much. Yeah.

How do you feel now watching that?

I feel like I made the right decision.

Are you sure? Yeah.

I reckon another two will go today.

I think 24 might be close to calling it a day.

He's not enjoying it now, I don't think.

As much as he's a decent young lad,

physically he's now reached his point.

I've never known physical exercise like that.

The two oldest recruits are also struggling -

Justin and Efrem.

I'll tell you what's happening now.

They're picking the weaker ones off to see if you can keep up with it.

I felt like I was going to die, I honestly did.

I couldn't see anything.

Most people are going to be younger, faster, stronger,

so I have to try and use something else.

The tortoise and hare type example.

So I think my age will be a benefit...

Well, I've got no choice, really.

Cos I can't do anything about it.

I think I need a cry.

Efrem came to the attention of the DS on day two.

So what brought someone of your age on this course?

My son was killed in Afghanistan

in October, 2013.

Fuckin' hell.

From the simplest things, you give us kit, I pick the socks up,

they're exactly the same sock shape.

It's been more personal that I thought it would be,

and for me that's a good thing.

It's absolutely fucking brutal.

Weather I go a day or a week, two weeks, who knows?

Get off it! Move!

Three, two, one!

After today's training, I think I pushed myself a bit hard.

The constant pressure is taking its toll on Jani.

He visits Sundeep, the doctor.

Since then I've just been really quite dizzy.

And, yeah, I was just a bit scared in case I have a seizure and stuff.

I don't know if I can...

Sundeep knows the details of Jani's epilepsy...

Take that off and pop up there.

..and considers it mild enough for him to take part in the whole course.

I am expecting people to come to me and look for

a medical reason to leave.

What we need to do is use that as a opening to see what is actually...

What do they really want to talk about?

What I will not be doing is giving them an easy way out.

OK. Same temperature.

As far as I'm concerned, there's absolutely no reason medically

that you can't just carry on.

OK.

I did have one question.

Yeah.

I mean, I'm not saying I'm ill, but I'm just curious as to why

I'm always feeling like as if I'm going to tear up and stuff.

OK. That's slightly different.

Take a seat over here.

It's not embarrassing to admit that you're psychologically stressed

because that's what these guys are suppose to be doing.

Out of all the people that have left,

two have left for medical reasons.

Everybody else, I can tell right now,

has gone because they can't control the demons in their mind.

When I was a young kid going through training, and it was horrendous,

I'm amongst all these fucking big hairy arse men

and I'm a skinny little kid intimidated.

And I remember running and thinking,

"Well, maybe if I just pretend to slip and run into that tree.

"Smash my head a bit. I'll be able to get off this.

"I'll get medical discharge. Then I won't look like a coward."

How do you feel after the rugby training session?

What do I think about it? How were you feeling?

Exhausted.

Dead.

I know for a fact it goes through a lot of people's head.

Even on selection people are thinking, "Maybe if I just

"slip off here and twist my ankle now, I'll get a medical discharge.

"I've got credibility cos I went all that way. I went all that way.

"I didn't want to leave, they made me leave."

Knees.

Down on your knees. Get down on your knees.

Jani is pulled in for tactical questioning.

Step.

The DS and medical team think he may be holding himself back unnecessarily.

How you feeling? Good, sir.

You look like you're in a shit state.

Look like you're fucking hanging out. You don't look good to me.

On the boxing today,

we gave you the option to see who would step up and who wouldn't.

I already have epilepsy and...

Yeah, which you were very, very keen to tell us straightaway.

"I got epilepsy. I can't do this."

That was an out for you straightaway.

I can assure you, sir, that that wasn't the case.

I haven't got the illness, but it just seems to be hindering you.

I just find it hard to comprehend not wanting to do that

and then pretty much going in full steam ahead with the murderball.

I've been playing rugby my whole life

and obviously it has quite similar characteristics to rugby.

To me it seems a little bit more of you pick and choose

what you wanted to do.

Obviously because of my disability I just didn't want to stay the race.

I think you use your epilepsy as an excuse.

No... Listen, I'm talking.

I think you're a lot more capable than you make out to be

cos I've seen it.

And if you could...

put that to one side, I think you could do extremely well.

Guard!

Everything we do does look harsh,

but it's about finding the right character.

We're looking to see if we can push their buttons.

We're looking to see if their emotions are easily manipulated.

If someone isn't able to take that criticism,

they're not the people that we want to work with.

Number 19! And number 10!

Quick! Quick!

19 and number 10!

19 and 10. Fuck!

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

19 and number 10. Fucking go.

Where's Mo? Is that Mo?

Where's number 19?

Go! Get up!

Go, go, go, go!

Just go. Follow the noise.

After his loss of control in the sparring,

recruit 10 Steven is the focus for the DS.

I'm at a stage of my life where I really want to test myself

physically and mentally.

Let's go! Get with me, come on!

I think I'll adapt to any situation that gets thrown at me.

Quick! Come on!

They've set up a simulation to see if he can stay in control

when the adrenaline is flowing.

Quick!

There's a fire in that building there.

Possible casualties. You're got three minutes. Go!

CLATTERING

HE SHOUTS

The recruits are ordered to clear the building of all causalities.

Casualty! Casualty!

HE SHOUTS

ALARM BLARES

They need to slow down a little bit.

If you don't take in all your surroundings,

you will miss something and you will then start doing the wrong thing.

Exit. No.

Straight ahead.

And it seems like you can't slow that situation down, but you can.

You need to try and control it.

Where? See the out?

Where? Straight ahead.

Come on. Get out.

Careful.

How many casualties? One.

One. You failed. You're too late.

Get back across your bunk now. Go! Go!

Unknown to the recruits, there were two casualties in the building.

It's Steven's second failure of the day.

Sorry, mate.

It's not your fault. It's our fault.

We're a team.

It's just shit when you get it wrong, isn't it?

Just got to be more vigilant next time.

You don't get a fucking second chance at it, do you? You don't.

Officers came across the defendant

and his friend walking away from the scene.

The DS are looking into Steven's pass for clues to his character.

He told the court that he had been drinking on the day in question

and angry after having an argument with his girlfriend.

Basically he's had a row with his Mrs, picked up a brick, thrown it

at someone's window and he's gone to court with it and he's been charged.

Basically he's done what we've all done, but just got caught for it.

We've done it as kids, haven't we?

We've all picked up, smashed car windows and stuff, haven't we?

Haven't we?

I threw a loaf at the butcher's window.

I threw my brother. There you go.

None of use are perfect. We want to know who you really are.

Tell us the truth.

Explain to us and give us a good reason why you're doing it

and an honest reason why.

Cos if you don't, once you're found to be untrustworthy, you're going.

There's no point even going any further.

Tell me where the aggression comes from?

Where the uncontrolled aggression...

I think it comes from...

..a lot of stored aggression I think from...

a few failures in my life.

Tell me more about these failures.

When I was...

..19 I got discharged from the army.

Why did you get discharged from the army?

I got into a gambling addiction at 18.

And?

And ended drinking a lot, I ended up in prison

six months after being discharged.

What for?

Several things.

Go on. I want to know what for.

I was homeless at the time and I started drinking a lot.

I completely lost myself and broke into a closed down pub and...

went through the alcohol.

How did your old man,

how did your dad take you getting discharged from the army?

Yeah, obviously that's like...

It's hard for me to tell him.

So that was... Yeah, that wasn't...

That's pretty shit, really.

After being discharged, I just couldn't fucking get over it.

The thing about the army,

it's quite easy to become one of the lads, isn't it?

Slip into the drinking ways, slip into gambling.

So I'm glad that you're looking to the future.

Yes, sir.

Guard!

When I left the military, I got really down.

Really, really, really down.

You wonder who you are because you'd been someone for so long, you know.

I was a soldier for 20 years, I enjoyed it, I loved it.

It was deemed that I needed to leave because of my PTSD

in what was called chronic burn-out.

My lowest point was, yeah, coming close to suicide,

sat on top of cliffs and whatnot,

wondering what the fuck was going on.

Guys normally don't talk about that shit.

But, to be honest with you, talking about it is the best thing to do.

This programme contains very strong language from the outset.

PANTING

Go get him.

Go get him.

Go get him.

Go get him. Stick to the second route.

Right, you at the front, submerge yourself.

Go. Go. Go!

Yeah, under.

Let's go!

The recruits now face one of the toughest challenges on selection...

24, go.

..The Sickener.

Grandad, get your head underwater.

Hurry up, start fuckin' sparking.

In 35 degree heat and 100 percent humidity...

Get down, on your back. Leg six inches.

..they are pushed to their physical limits...

Keep it going.

..without knowing when it will end.

Get off your knees, get off your knees.

This will continue until the weak ones amongst you

stop hindering this group and fucking give me your numbers.

Unknown to the recruits,

The Sickener won't stop until four of them quit.

Keep going, don't fucking stop. Don't fucking look at me.

No-one said stop. So, we're going to go again. Let's go.

Follow the leader, let's go, let's go. Submerge.

I just want to see your ugly heads.

Get out, come up here. Move it, let's go.

We use it to see if people are going to give in.

Right, does anyone want to VW at this stage?

Does anyone want to be VW? ALL; No, Staff!

Right, follow on.

Close up. Close right up.

Sit down, take some breaths on, get some water,

because some of us are that fucking close to passing out.

Every time they think it's over...

Get up, get up! Get outside now.

..The Sickener will start again...

Let's move it.

..making it a test of mental resilience.

In a battlefield scenario, you've got to keep going and going

until the task is finished, and you don't know when that is.

Move it!

Let's go.

You'll be at your most vulnerable or you'll be out of ammunition,

you'll be out of food, you're exhausted, you haven't slept.

Hold it.

Keep it there.

But there is always an option. You can always keep going.

Front rank into the ditch.

Get through.

Get through. Get through.

Start moving.

Number 11, catch him.

Catch 19.

What are you doing? That's it, I'm done. VW? VW, I'm done.

VW? Yeah. Right, take yourself over there.

Recruits 2 and 8 are the first to break...

I'm not going through that fucking shit again.

..and are off the course.

Let's go. Hands and knees, crawling.

Every man for himself, get after him!

Get after him!

Number 19, catch him up, go!

Get past him, get past him.

Three hours after being woken up,

the recruits are finally allowed some food.

How are you doing, all right? Yeah, I'm all right. Good.

When it gets hard, just keep moving.

Did they say they would continue doing it

until a certain number of people dropped?

Or are they just doing it...?

I wouldn't think about that, just concentrate on...keeping moving.

Don't give up.

Binns. Sit down, mate, we'll get your grub for you.

Do you want some grub, mate? A tiny, tiny half-portion, max. OK.

You've fucking just got to keep your head and keep going.

Oh! RETCHING

RETCHING

There's nothing coming up, I'm retching for the sake of retching.

You've got nothing in you.

It's unlikely that I would be sat here talking you

if James was still around.

There's something of what's happened

that's kind of driven me to where I am now.

Come and sit here. Sit on here and put your feet on there.

'My son was killed on active duty in Afghanistan.'

You have that.

Sit for a bit. Shout if you need.

'The day that James died,

'the lives that we'd had up to that point stopped.

'And from that day onwards, everything changes.

'Job change, people approach you differently,

'people talk in terms of...'

sympathy and what you would be expected to hear.

Of course, you don't necessarily want to hear that

and you don't necessarily want to talk about it all the time.

Move it! Come on, let's go!

The Sickener is relentless.

Down here, get on your belly.

Come on, fat boy, let's go.

It won't stop until two more give up.

Number 24, what are you doing?

Stop crawling like a baby and start crawling like a military man.

Get past him, number 11, I said.

What's the matter? I just can't run. What do you want to do?

Think quickly, take a breath, look at me.

Look at me.

Think about where you are, think about what you've done.

I can't run, Staff. What you want to do? I've got to go.

What do you want to do? I don't want to, but I've got to.

Hang on, let me think about this.

No, don't be a cunt.

OK. Get going. Move!

Catch that group up now. Hurry up!

All the way in. All the way in. Head up, head up.

Get down, number 24.

Get your arse down. Head up, a bit of pride about yourself.

Do you want to do something? Do you want to give me your number?

No, Staff. Get down and start waddling, then. Get down.

If I was to be singled out, yeah, I think that would be a bit crap.

Come on, mate. 'If I was to be told I was one of the weak ones.'

Come on, keep moving.

'But I don't think I would quit.'

Go round him.

Unless it was like...

that I was going to die.

Are you sure you don't want to give me your number? Are you sure?

Yes, Staff. Are you sure? Yes, Staff.

Are you sure? Yes, Staff.

Follow on. Move it.

Close right up, close right up, close right up. On his face!

'There was a particular incident in Iraq.

'We basically stumbled upon a position'

which we weren't expecting and we got hit by it

and we couldn't get out of it.

Go, go!

'We couldn't go backwards. If we went backwards,'

we were going onto raised ground where we'd have been slaughtered,

so we had to go forward.

Do it!

So we were then fighting through trenches

all through the day and the night.

'Me, as a leader, was trying to convince people it's fine,

'I've got control, we've got this.

'Where, in my own mind, I was thinking,

'what am I getting into here?

It was horrendous, but I had it in my head

there's no way I'll ever give up, I'm going to keep going.

Get up! Stop banging 'em out, number 8,

and fucking get down there.

Efrem and Justin have fallen to the back of the group.

I'm here, right behind you.

Move! Fucking run!

In front of you. Staff.

What's that? I'm out. Which way?

Right, go over and see the medic, OK?

It breaks everyone.

I'm out.

One...

two.

The DS are now waiting for just one more to go.

Get up. Is this getting too hard for you?

No, sir. It fucking looks like it.

Let's go.

Number 13, why are you the only one on your knees?

Get your fucking arse down.

Straight.

I think you've had enough, number 13, don't you?

Stand up.

Go over and see the medic.

Now that four recruits have been pushed to their breaking point...

The Sickener is over.

Well done, fellas. You've done fucking well, honestly.

Thanks, pal. Well done, buddy. Well done as well, good luck.

Yes, someone could probably beat me up,

yes, someone could run 100 metres quicker than me,

but I don't think that makes them any greater or me any less of a man.

Number 11. That's me.

'I've found what I'm good at in life

'and that's being a husband to my wife'

and a father to my children, and I've brought two wonderful children.

I don't think you could ever ask for more than that.

We just wanted to say how much of a privilege it was

to have you on board. Thank you.

Your son will be immensely proud of you. I hope so.

Even meeting the lads and that, I mean, this friends that you

got through basic training,

they're a different sort of friends, you know?

And even with us bunch of whatevers,

we've got a really tight in four or five days.

I've done stuff with these boys

I haven't done with friends I've had for 30 years.

All I wanted to do was keep going.

I thought, you bastards, some days you thought, get out of here!

But I couldn't have given no more.

I know your son's going to be up there thinking you're awesome.

He'd love it. Fucking hell.

James loved being in the Army, he loved his job.

Obviously I wish he was still here and he'd just gone into IT

or something along those lines,

but he didn't, he chose to go that route.

Much respect to him.

I wish it hadn't ended up as it did,

but I wouldn't have stopped him, I would never do that.

This process, like, bonds you together very, very quickly. Yeah.

Hang on, what's the date? Not even a week. We hang out...24/7.

We're watching each other shit into a hole.

I was just going to say that. Yeah.

Shared experience.

All experiences in life, the good ones, the bad ones,

it's made us what we are now. I mean, it's made us better men. Yeah.

What's your reason, mate? What, why I'm here? Yeah.

I joined the Army when I was 17 and a half.

And I just got into fucking gambling

and then started getting into trouble.

And then I ended up, like,

going off the rails and ended up six months later in prison.

Do you have that under control now? Yeah, yeah.

This is my chance to, like, test myself again. Get some pride back.

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm here, to get my pride back that I lost

from getting discharged from the Army.

This is a good...we can keep, like.

Yeah.

It's brilliant.

You've got that respect from me, mate, doing your...

You're a top lad, man. I have respect for all of you, man.

'Everyone deserves a chance.

'People should be given the opportunity to sort of adapt'

and see if we can change the character of that person

so it fits in with what we would like to see.

Those of you that didn't fight yesterday...

..step forward.

An opportunity now for you guys to change your minds.

The recruits who refused to fight yesterday are given

another chance to prove themselves.

If you'd like to fight... stay where you are.

If you don't...take one step back.

Number ten... You will be joining this lot as well. Staff.

It's about controlled aggression.

Everyone here in front of me, are you happy to fight? ALL: Yes, Staff.

Happy days.

Number ten, I want controlled aggression, OK?

I don't want to see you fucking lose it. Understood? Staff. Good.

Listen to my words of command.

When I tell you to fight, you will fight.

When I tell you to stop, you will stop.

You two, bring it in.

Fight!

Stop.

One of the biggest regrets would be

not asking for help when I started,

when I knew that the gambling was getting out of control.

Fight!

Stop.

I regret not holding my hands up and saying,

"Look, I've got a problem here. Can you help me?"

rather than just trying to deal with it

when I couldn't, obviously.

Gloves off. Headguard off. Go and see the medic. Good effort.

Go on, go over there. Come here.

Jani didn't take part in the sparring 24 hours ago.

I want to see some aggression here, all right? But now he steps up.

It's trying to see whether the people have got what it takes

inside them that they didn't know they had.

Ready... Fight!

Stop!

Both of you, take your gloves off. Headdress off. Go and see the medic.

He kind of surprised me a bit.

ALL TALK AT ONCE

24 surprised me there. Yeah.

I know, he got a fucking good shot.

Number 24. Come here.

I saw a different man today.

Cos you had one strike left.

And today you've just fucking turned it around.

I think you've really listened to what we've had to say

and you've taken it on board, because right now you deserve to be here.

Yesterday you didn't have a place on the course.

Keep doing whatever you're doing up there, OK, because it's working.

Jani surprised me as well. He's come out - bang, bang, bang.

Yeah, man - bang, bang, bang!

'I still love combat. I miss the camaraderie.

'And it's hard for me to'

try and be a different person in society.

Trying to be someone that I'm not.

ALL TALK AND LAUGH

'I miss that buzz.'

You know, when you have...

your life that's dangling on a piece of string,

that's when you actually feel alive.

Next time....

All of you, all up! Up, up, up!

Number 17, who is the least trustworthy in this group?

'We'll get them turning against each other.'

Leadership skills - zero.

'You need to keep that seed of doubt in the back of your mind.'

Go on, jump!

Tonight, some of you WILL be going home.
