00:17It's mad to think that the mosque is under the water.
00:19I had the exact same thought.
00:21I spent too much time with you.
00:24I love it.
00:27After a 4,500km race through Europe to the south-east of Turquia, now just four teams
00:35remain.
00:37Last leg, back in mind, we were like elimination, elimination, so it's nice to go forward and
00:41not have to worry.
00:42When I just saw it wasn't us last, it was just, to be honest, it was just pure, really.
00:46That's the thing, even Pooze and Ross, it's just heartbreaking seeing them go.
00:50Yeah, it really does show anything can happen.
00:54Siblings Katie and Harrison are in front for the third time, but their lead has diminished
00:59to under ten hours.
01:01After opening that book and seeing Harrison face first, their time was a surprise, now
01:05they're only half a day ahead.
01:06Maybe they'll take their foot off the gas a little bit.
01:08We've got through the elimination, and now that's out of the way, our new goal is getting
01:12to Mongolia and getting that first place.
01:14I do think we are slowly creeping up on him.
01:17Yeah, yeah.
01:17Now we've got first in our head.
01:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:19It's not don't be last, it's be first.
01:21Well, we started fourth, and then we came third, now we're second, so there's only one
01:25place to go.
01:26We've got to go to number one spot.
01:28Yeah.
01:28Myself and Mark, we are so lined up, ready.
01:31Sorry guys.
01:32We've got all our ducks in a row.
01:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:34We all want to be first, don't we?
01:36Someone will have to displace Katie and Harrison.
01:38What do you mean someone?
01:39Someone.
01:39Us two.
01:40Us two.
01:44As three teams wait to depart.
01:47Right, shall we get going?
01:49First to set off, race leaders Katie and Harrison.
01:53Just for you.
01:54Perfect, thank you so much.
01:57Shall we see how we're going?
02:00Tbilis, yes, I don't know how to say it, but it's where I want it to go.
02:03Is it Georgia?
02:03I was so excited to go there.
02:05Yeah.
02:06I'm so happy.
02:07Thank you very much.
02:07Cheers, thank you.
02:08Cheers, thank you.
02:09Oh, that's so good.
02:11New country, about to be unlocked.
02:18God, there is nothing here.
02:20Yeah.
02:21It's dead.
02:22Yeah.
02:23But at nearly midnight, the progress stalls immediately.
02:28We're not getting out tonight unless you're going to spend ridiculous money on a taxi.
02:32Nope.
02:34We're off to a bad start.
02:36Oh.
02:37Do you have a room for two people for tonight?
02:40Yeah.
02:44Race starts tomorrow.
03:00New day, new chapter of the race.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Let's hit it.
03:05Not getting out of our party last night means we no longer have a ten hour leave.
03:09But I think as long as you keep them in relative touching distance, I'll be happy enough.
03:13I'm actually well buzzed with going to Georgia.
03:15Why did you want to go?
03:16It's just a bit rogue, isn't it?
03:18A 1,700-kilometre journey to Georgia's capital, the fourth checkpoint, Tbilisi.
03:28Meaning warm place.
03:29Legend has it that King Vaktang Gorgasale founded the city after his falcon fell into a hot spring, revealing the
03:40area's natural thermal waters.
03:43Today, those sulphur baths still steam, set against a backdrop of modern, futuristic architecture.
03:53Er, Jean Lerfa?
03:55OK.
03:55What have you got?
03:55Yeah?
03:56Let's have it.
03:59Finally on the road, Katie and Harrison are heading to the closest transport hub, Shan Lerfa.
04:05Should we have a look at the map and see where we're going and what we've got to do?
04:08We could go all the way to the edge of Turkey and then up.
04:13But nothing's there.
04:14Yeah.
04:14Or we could go straight up from where we are to the coast.
04:19To reach Tbilisi, teams may choose to hug the Black Sea coast, a popular route for domestic tourists.
04:28But the winding coastal roads could slow progress.
04:31Or they could opt to stay inland, striking a direct route through Turkey's arid heartland.
04:39Rich in Kurdish culture, but with fewer connections.
04:44Both routes converge at the Georgian border as they navigate new terrain towards the capital.
04:52I feel like along the Black Sea you can see a lot more transport routes.
04:57Samsung looks like a pretty big city.
04:58Yeah.
04:59It would be great to do some homestays.
05:02It would be good to actually integrate the local people a bit more.
05:06We haven't spent too much time with the locals so far.
05:10I am looking forward to it.
05:12I'm obviously nervous, you know, it's not a natural thing.
05:15But I do think we'll get most out of it.
05:17I'm really excited.
05:19Homestays scare me.
05:20It's just going to be awkward.
05:22But it's something we need to do in terms of, like, putting me out of my comfort zone.
05:26Yeah.
05:26And maybe, like, I'll enjoy it.
05:29Planning to sample their first homestay of the race, the siblings aim to head north towards the well-connected coast.
05:37Samsung.
05:38Two.
05:39Brilliant.
05:41We booked an overnight bus tonight, travelling the whole length of Turkey in one night.
05:47And then we can get straight to our homestay tomorrow.
05:50But there's nothing we can do until then.
05:53So, yeah.
05:54We just have to wait here most of the day.
06:02It's bringing you step today, Mark.
06:04Next, to leave Halfeti.
06:06The elimination's out of the way.
06:08The shackles are off.
06:10Hypnotherapist Margo and her brother-in-law, Mark.
06:13We need to get all the way across northeast of Turkey.
06:18The direct route north up towards the Black Sea coast is probably going to be better connected and faster.
06:22I do fancy that route.
06:23Yeah.
06:25I think going east is my preferred option.
06:29And I'd like to see a little bit of more rural Turkey heading towards Van.
06:35You know, we used to have two Van cats, Arnie and Keeps.
06:38Beautiful and cuddly, with odd eyes, very unique cats.
06:42Seeing that Van is here, I'd like to go see where they came from.
06:49No, I like the sound of that.
06:51Yeah.
06:51I do like the sound of that.
06:53He's kind of bewitched me with talk of Van.
06:56I think he's hypnotised me a bit to want to go there.
06:59Because I just went, yes, I'd like to go there.
07:02An adventure.
07:03It's an adventure.
07:04It is an adventure.
07:05Into the unknown.
07:06We've got it in us to catch up with Katie and Harrison.
07:09Whether it's a good move or not in the race, we are heading to Van.
07:13Let's do it.
07:14Let's go.
07:15Mark's feline-friendly plan, make a 660km punt east to Lake Van.
07:21Do you think we can catch Katie and Harrison and do this route at the same time?
07:25I've got a good feeling about it, a really good feeling about it.
07:29Straight to the bus station.
07:31Yeah.
07:31Just 38 minutes behind.
07:33We did really good last leg.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Best friends Joe and Kush.
07:38It's like kind of moving away from not carrying out the budget to start to bump it up again.
07:43So honestly, any work we can get our hands on, we can do.
07:47Yeah.
07:47After spending big to stay in the race, the boys are beginning the leg with nearly 10% less than
07:53their competitors.
07:55Last leg we did everything to not be eliminated and not included.
07:58A pretty hefty taxi.
07:59Now we've got budget concerns, so we need to make money.
08:02We need to find the city busy, please.
08:05Yeah.
08:05We just need to get on the bus first.
08:09People that are behind us are going to catch up with us, so I expect the boys to appear any
08:13minute.
08:14All concertinos together.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Here are the boys.
08:17How are you?
08:18How are you?
08:19Good, how are you?
08:20You look well rested.
08:21Do you know where you're going now?
08:22Yeah.
08:23Have you got a plan?
08:24Yeah.
08:25We have a plan, yeah.
08:25Are we allowed to know where you're heading to?
08:28I don't know.
08:29I don't know.
08:31We're heading to Vam to see the test.
08:32We're going to Vam.
08:34They're trying to problem.
08:35They're trying to get information out.
08:37Yeah.
08:38Margot's job is to read people.
08:39They're going to copy our strategy, our planning, so we're going to have to keep more hush.
08:44I think the boys are on fire though.
08:47They've got something to prove to themselves.
08:49To get first place.
08:50I think they'd love to get first place.
08:52Yeah.
08:52The boys are being very shady about where they're going.
08:56Very like...
08:57And I think they're going to race as if their life depends upon it.
09:02See you boys.
09:03We'll see you guys soon.
09:04Take care.
09:04We might have to up our game.
09:06See you boys.
09:07Good luck.
09:10Will you sit down here?
09:11We can look at the map, all right?
09:12Aye, will do.
09:12OK.
09:14Woohoo!
09:15Last to depart.
09:16I think the obvious route at the moment is go up and across northern Turkey.
09:21Andrew and his daughter Molly.
09:23And we could go and see the gods on Mount Nemro trip.
09:26But I'd like to kind of meet more people, learn about their culture.
09:29That's what I wanted to do on this trip.
09:32But we had a beautiful time at Mount Olympus.
09:34And maybe the gods have looked on us.
09:36And maybe we need to go and kind of thank the gods for allowing us to get through to the
09:39next stage.
09:41But I don't want to take over here now.
09:43Yeah, I know.
09:43All right?
09:44What do you think?
09:47It would be amazing.
09:48I'm telling you.
09:48I love it.
09:49OK.
09:50I'm excited.
09:51I know you're excited.
09:52I know.
09:54A bit annoyed in the route we've taken.
09:57The whole point of this trip is taking on culture, seeing people.
10:01But he's so excited.
10:02So I've had to say yes.
10:05Feeling the pull of a summit once again, Andrew plots a course for Mount Nemrut, just three hours drive away,
10:12before heading inland through eastern Turkey.
10:16Molly, I'm thinking eastern Turkey.
10:18Yeah.
10:18But it's all very direct, going to Georgia.
10:20So this might actually pay off and get us back in the race.
10:24I'm confident it's going to be a good route to see what we want to see, but also quick enough
10:28routes because we need to move up the table a bit.
10:29So it's rather than being fort, if we can get an experience and a bit of speed as well, what
10:34more can we ask?
10:39So look.
10:40Mardin name?
10:41Yes.
10:42Where are you from?
10:43England.
10:44England.
10:45England.
10:46Yeah.
10:47Your name?
10:48France.
10:49France.
10:49Also heading east...
10:53Joe and Kush have answered an ad in the jobs directory and are on their way to the city of
10:58Mardin.
10:59We've got our work sorted.
11:01But I think we should start speaking to people about accommodation.
11:05Yo, merhaba.
11:07How are you?
11:08Do you know any very cheap hotel or hostel in Mardin?
11:16Yes.
11:18You can stay with him.
11:24In Mardin?
11:26Yeah.
11:28Bro.
11:30Don't you think we can stay at his house?
11:32What?
11:33It's the skull's charm.
11:34It's the skull's charm.
11:35It's the skull's charm.
11:36Nowhere to stay.
11:37People have gone out of their way to give.
11:38We're not tourists here.
11:40We feel like guests.
11:41We've got free accommodation, so we're making money.
11:43We are going to get fair space.
11:49The only team heading to the coast...
11:52Is this the longest motor transport we've done so far?
11:54Yes.
11:55Katie and Harrison are still waiting for their 14-hour overnight bus.
12:00Before I go on the bus.
12:01I really need to moisturise my elbows.
12:05Wash my face now before I go on there.
12:07Maybe brush my teeth before I go on there.
12:09And then I'm going to put some leggings on
12:12so that I can properly relax and get comfortable if it gets cold as well.
12:16I'm going to plait my hair so it doesn't get knotty.
12:20Yeah.
12:20This is my bag?
12:21Yeah.
12:25Blanket.
12:25Well, you're disgusting, aren't you?
12:27Sorted.
12:27Take better care of yourself, you scruff.
12:30Sorted.
12:30No wonder you don't get any women.
12:32You're minger.
12:35Well, this bus looks class.
12:37Looks nice, doesn't it?
12:38Yeah, class.
12:40Beto.
12:41I agree. Beto, indeed.
12:43Got my eye mask.
12:45Got my pink hair pubs.
12:47Good night.
12:52That's a view.
12:54God damn!
12:56Just 20 kilometres from the Syrian border,
13:01Marden's stone houses cling to the hillside,
13:04overlooking the vast Mesopotamian plain.
13:07Aw, thank you.
13:08The boys have arranged to stay with new friend Furat and his family.
13:13Your name?
13:14Baba.
13:15Baba?
13:15Yeah.
13:16John.
13:17I'm dead.
13:18Dad?
13:18Dead.
13:19Oh, father.
13:21I can't lie, I didn't expect any of this.
13:23Start a conversation on this bus.
13:25Next minute, we're in his house.
13:28Woo!
13:29Oh!
13:30It's a big thing inviting strangers to your house.
13:33Yes.
13:33What's this?
13:35Yogurt.
13:35It's yogurt.
13:36Peaner.
13:37Juice?
13:37Yes.
13:39Egg.
13:41Wow.
13:44Nice.
13:45Don't be shy, eat until you're full.
13:48He knows, he knows.
13:52He's been very kind to us.
13:54We've just had dinner with him.
13:55He's let us have a shower.
13:56He's laid these beds up for us.
13:59It does mean a lot.
14:01Free food, accommodation.
14:03We're trying to take every opportunity we can get to save money.
14:14Quarter to six in the morning.
14:16Nice time to be out.
14:18You're alone in your thoughts.
14:19It's stunning, isn't it?
14:21It's like the stairway to heaven.
14:23Well, look at the colour there.
14:24It is fab.
14:25Isn't it?
14:28High in the Taurus Mountains, Andrew and Molly have reached Mount Nemrut.
14:35Look at that.
14:36That is amazing.
14:37Wow.
14:38Beautiful, isn't it?
14:38That's exceptional.
14:39Impressive.
14:43Here, ten metres stone gods stand vigil.
14:47Built more than 2,000 years ago by King Antiochus I.
14:52Believing himself divine, he demanded a tomb among the gods.
14:56A monument that still gazes out across Comagene, the ancient kingdom he once ruled.
15:03They're cool.
15:05Daddy, look at them.
15:07Where's he going?
15:08That just sums us up.
15:10I'm looking at the human geography and he's looking at the physical geography.
15:13Molly.
15:14You come here, look.
15:15You come here.
15:16You can really see the crater rim as it makes us the whole way around.
15:21But that's what created all those lakes blocked out.
15:25Mm-hmm.
15:26Because it doesn't seem to be any rivers or anything.
15:28But you can see obviously the lakes have all been blocked.
15:30Daddy.
15:32Do you know what?
15:32I do love a hike and I do love a pretty sky.
15:36And I'll make the most of it when I'm here, but I also just love a bit of crack.
15:40I do think at the moment we're missing talking to people, chatting with people, dancing with people.
15:47I just, I love meeting people.
15:48Uh-huh.
15:49During this trip I'd love to kind of see like, I don't know, a bit of life, yeah, a bit
15:54of party.
15:55Yeah, I know.
15:56But I love, you know, I love getting up in the morning.
15:58A bit of solitude, a bit of quiet time, just to see the sun rising.
16:01This is right up my street.
16:05Look at the clouds.
16:06That is crazy.
16:06The clouds are just stunning.
16:10For me, the race is about proving to Daddy that I am capable.
16:15Yeah, I'm a junior doctor, but Daddy's very much top dog and he'd be the main influencer on the trip.
16:20And like, there's no pretending that kind of daddy-daughter dynamic, like that doesn't matter.
16:26But I think we do need to break this default of like, everything Daddy says is 100% perfect and
16:33correct.
16:33And what I say is maybe not fully trustable.
16:37There's the sun now.
16:38Yeah.
16:39Here she comes.
16:40It's beautiful.
16:41I would love for Daddy to get what he wants out of this race.
16:44But I would also very much like him to know that my opinion is also very much there to be
16:50respected.
16:52Wow.
16:55That was amazing.
16:57Did you get your fix?
16:59I did.
17:00There's a visitor centre down at the bottom, so might be able to have a look through that.
17:04I think we need to move on.
17:11I think we need to move on.
17:34I think we need to move on to Syria.
17:35I wouldn't have guessed that.
17:39900 kilometres north-west.
17:42The drive has been pretty stunning, hasn't it?
17:44Very stunning.
17:45On the left, there's the Black Sea.
17:47On the right, there's been, like, these huge green mountains.
17:52Joining the coastal highway, Katie and Harrison are approaching Samson.
17:58I'm so excited.
17:59It's a vanilla cake as well.
18:02Check, John.
18:03The other Turkish box.
18:06You and your revolving doors.
18:08I love revolving doors.
18:09I know you do.
18:10Mark and Margot have made it to Van and are now the team closest to the checkpoint.
18:17Ardahan?
18:18Ardahan.
18:19And from Ardahan, I think that would give us a crossing across the border.
18:22Yeah.
18:228.45 tomorrow?
18:241,400 each.
18:252,800.
18:26It's just nice to have this sorted, though, isn't it, Mark?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Cheers, thank you.
18:31Seeing as we've done it now, we're here.
18:33There's no bus till tomorrow.
18:35Perhaps we could see if there's anything lively happening.
18:45Look at that.
18:47My cat looks similar to that.
18:49They said it was orange and white.
18:52Native to the shores of Turquia's largest lake, Van cats are famed for their striking
18:58eyes, their water-resistant fur and an unusual love of swimming.
19:05This is Lake Van.
19:07That's it.
19:08Huge, isn't it?
19:09Not a Turkish Van cat inside.
19:12We haven't seen one, have we?
19:13No.
19:13Oh!
19:14Is that a cat over there?
19:15That ball of his arms?
19:17No, it's a baby, I think.
19:18Oh, it's a baby.
19:19I thought it was a cat!
19:24In northern Turquia, near the Black Sea,
19:28Marhaba.
19:29Harrison.
19:30Esat.
19:30Harrison.
19:31Katie.
19:32Katie.
19:34He looks like he could pick us up.
19:35I'll do whatever he tells me to do.
19:38Katie and Harrison have reached their homestay on the outskirts of the city.
19:43tree house
19:44Oh my god
19:46Oh this is so cute
19:48I feel like I'm in a little film
19:50where they're going to stay in the cabin
19:52These get murdered in them but
19:54I'm hoping it's not those vibes
20:01This is exactly
20:03what I thought we'd be doing to be honest
20:04I'm quite happy to be doing it
20:06The siblings are working as labourers
20:09for cattle farmer Esat
20:11We've always helped around the house
20:13Especially when we lived with mum
20:15and she wasn't as
20:17well
20:18Maybe we did more than other kids
20:21Yeah
20:22I'm definitely not scared to get my hands dirty
20:25If dad wanted a
20:27lucky job helper
20:28it'd definitely be me over Harrison
20:33It would be
20:34Come on now, you've always been the princess
20:36I wouldn't say princess
20:38You have, you hate a smell
20:40You hate things getting on your fingers
20:42You hate like
20:44Come on now
20:45That's fine
20:46I wouldn't say princess
20:47Oh, she's just broken
20:49It looks like
20:51What?
20:52I might just be hungry
20:53It looks like baklava
20:56Yeah

23:22He's made that
23:24Hilarious
23:25I came into this
23:26Just as apprehensive of you
23:27But like putting a brave face on
23:29And I absolutely loved every second of it
23:32I'm beaming
23:32That was
23:33That was beautiful
23:35My heart is full
23:36My heart is warm
23:37I think that was my favourite moment on the race somehow
23:44Thank you
24:06Thank you
24:07That plays up there
24:08A chance for Mark and Margot to sample Van's nightlife
24:12Oh this looks like a good choice Mark
24:18Oh my god it's magical
24:20There's some music this is fantastic
24:25What is the music
24:26What is the music what style of music will it be tonight
24:28Folk music
24:30Folk music
24:31Is it Kurdish folk music
24:32Yeah Kurdish
24:33Cheers Morgan
24:33To a good day
24:34To a very good day
24:35Yes
24:41Kurdish folk music carries the story of a people
24:44The resilience
24:45The resilience identity
24:46And history across the middle east
24:49Oh my god
24:52But you can say
24:52Oh my god
24:53Or my god
25:00Okay
25:01Okay
25:01Okay
25:01Yeah
25:02All my god
25:04Appreciate it
25:05Love it
25:06Fantastic isn't it
25:09What's your name?
25:10Aisha.
25:10Aisha. Oh, I like this very pretty name.
25:12I'm Marga.
25:13Really? Nice to meet you.
25:15Nice to meet you.
25:16You are so sweet.
25:18Can I sit a second? Yes.
25:20How old are you?
25:22I am 59.
25:23Like a grandma.
25:25Wow, no.
25:27You are not a grandma.
25:29I'm 19 years old.
25:3019?
25:31Yes.
25:32I like to come with the young people just because it's nice, isn't it?
25:34Yes.
25:35I have two children.
25:36My daughter is 17.
25:3717?
25:38And my son is 20.
25:3921?
25:41I have six siblings.
25:42Three girls, three boys.
25:44Wow.
25:45I have four brothers.
25:47Four brothers?
25:47And four sisters.
25:48One more each of them.
25:50One more each.
25:52So it's nine.
25:52You're a really Kurdish family.
25:54You have a Kurdish family?
25:55I have a Kurdish family, yes.
25:57Oh.
26:00And so are you.
26:01You're a beautiful young woman.
26:03Thank you so much.
26:05Tonight we found somewhere really special.
26:07And it was quite unexpected.
26:09And I met this gorgeous group of young women.
26:11And they're so proud of their culture.
26:14And it just felt so warm and so, oh, vibrant.
26:19Are you lonely, Ma?
26:21No.
26:21I'm enjoying myself.
26:22Do you know what I mean?
26:23I've got some new friends.
26:24Hi.
26:24Am I sharing?
26:25I share.
26:26You look so younger.
26:27I told them you're 66.
26:30Wow.
26:30That's amazing.
26:32I really want this to be a trip for Mark.
26:35But I think I might have missed some places on the way that I would have liked to have stopped
26:38and seen and seen and I've realised that it's about balance, really.
26:41You love the atmosphere here, don't you?
26:43It's a great atmosphere.
26:43It's a great atmosphere.
26:45Absolutely beautiful.
26:46And, you know, I'd like to do some things that I would really, really, really passionately enjoy
26:50that light me up.
26:53I like to meet people.
26:55I like to talk with people.
26:56I like to laugh with people.
26:57And I'm hoping we'll prioritise that in the coming weeks.
27:12We're literally going across half of Turkey.
27:16Speeding along the coastal highway towards Hoppe.
27:20Hello.
27:21Do you speak English?
27:22Hi.
27:22Can we come and stay with you tonight?
27:25Hi.
27:26Hi.
27:27Yes, your house.
27:28Yes, okay.
27:29Following the success of their first homestay, the siblings are setting up another.
27:34Perfect.
27:34Thank you very much.
27:36Are you laughing at me?
27:38Hello.
27:38Do you speak English?
27:40A little.
27:40Can we stay with you tonight?
27:45We need to go to the Ottergar.
27:46Ottergar?
27:47The bus station in Tadfan.
27:49In south-east Turkey, continuing their journey from Mount Nemrut, Andrew and Molly still have 550 kilometres
27:56to reach Georgia.
27:58We need to go much faster than this.
28:01I know, I know.
28:02Plan A.
28:03Yeah.
28:03Let's get as close as we can tonight to the border.
28:06Because as soon as anything, if you get across the border, you should be able to get a bus to
28:10Debrisi quite quickly.
28:12All right, kid?
28:13Plan.
28:13Yeah.
28:16We should be in Georgia by tonight.
28:18What do you reckon?
28:19Hopefully, yes.
28:19You should be, yes.
28:21Already closing in on the crossing, Mark and Margot.
28:25Snip, snip, snip.
28:26I'm going to cut your map.
28:27No, we're not cutting my map.
28:28I think we should cut the map and just leave the bits that we need.
28:31If the map is badly folded, it's no reflection on you as the person, Mark.
28:36Close behind.
28:37It's so beautiful.
28:38Beautiful.
28:39Fresh off an overnight bus, Joe and Kush have stopped just short of the border in Susus.
28:46Look at this, bro.
28:47Oh.
28:47Wow.
28:48What's going on in this?
28:49This is...
28:50Oh, this is sick.
28:52What's this from our meal?
28:53It's at Grandma's house.
28:54Turkish Grandma's house.
28:55Protecting their budget once again, they're staying with Adil and his wife, Beren,
29:01helping to care for their flock of over 100 free-range geese.
29:05We come from Liverpool.
29:08Liverpool football, much.
29:10Football, good.
29:11Yeah, football.
29:11Mo Salah?
29:12Mo Salah?
29:13Mo Salah, huh?
29:15Here are the geese.
29:16What?
29:18What?
29:25It's a mini-stump here, isn't it?
29:27No, yeah.
29:30Raised on open pasture, the region's cool climate creates the ideal environment to rear the birds.
29:36Look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at this, look at
29:40this, look at this.
29:40Prized across Turkey for their high nutritional value and succulent texture.
29:46Yeah?
29:47It is quite a change coming to the east side of Turkey.
29:51When I think of Turkey, you think like our holiday destination, busy people, very touristy place, but I don't think
29:58we expected this whole experience.
30:00They're out there.
30:01Like there was birds that were doing flips.
30:05That's mad.
30:06I wish our pigeons did this.
30:08Like this isn't the type of thing you'd ever see in Liverpool as well.
30:11Think this is the geese shit?
30:13Some things in life that have to be done.
30:16Yeah?
30:17Me and Jarry, we're happy to do it.
30:18What do you need us to do?
30:20We came here for work and in return a bed.
30:24It pretty much sums up our plan on this leg to save money.
30:29I swear some of these are trying to.
30:31Square up.
30:34I defo could put this on my CV.
30:36I shoveled bird poof.
30:38One of the jobs we've done.
30:39Hotel, hospitality, waiters, geese.
30:44Yeah, my CV is going to be so thick.
30:47We have both finished our educations.
30:50We've got our grades.
30:51And now it's a case of whether we want to work or university, apprenticeships, anything.
30:57And this is the perfect opportunity to think about the future.
31:00This is sick coming to the middle of nowhere.
31:04No, this is heavy, this.
31:05I hope this experience will broaden my vision.
31:10And open my eyes, see what I may want to do, but also discover what I maybe don't want to
31:19do.
31:19Joe, which is heavier?
31:21A kilogram of geese shit or a kilogram of chicken shit?
31:52They're both a kilogram.
31:54That is adorable.
31:59I was supposed to get him back.
32:05This is hopper.
32:07This is hopper.
32:08At the eastern edge of the Black Sea shoreline, Katie and Harrison have arrived in Hopper, where they've arranged a
32:15homestay at a nearby tea farm.
32:17But first, they look to book onward transport towards the checkpoint for tomorrow.
32:24Tbilisi?
32:25Yeah.
32:26With bus?
32:27Yeah.
32:27Tomorrow?
32:28No busses tomorrow?
32:31No, not busses tomorrow?
32:32No.
32:32No bus tomorrow?
32:34No.
32:40We're just going to have to wait until the day after.
32:42Yeah, yeah.
32:45Can we book not tomorrow, but the morning after?
32:49Perfect.
32:54With no choice but to stay in hopper for two nights, the risk falling a full day behind in the
33:00race.
33:01It's not ideal.
33:02It's rubbish.
33:04It's pretty terrible.
33:06It's okay.
33:07It's not okay.
33:09The transport's not the best in the world for the timings, so we're just stuck and feel helpless.
33:16And there's nothing we can really do about that.
33:19Maybe on the teens, I find them just as hard as well.
33:22Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
33:25Karma, karma.
33:27Don't say it's karma, karma.
33:28I'm going to throw myself in the Black Sea.
33:34We are going to Tbilisi.
33:36What's the best way to get to Tbilisi?
33:38Cars.
33:39Cars.
33:39How do we get to cars?
33:41Yes.
33:41Okay, perfect.
33:44Trailing behind, Andrew and Molly have reached the transport hub of Tatvan.
33:49Were you trying to go to cars tonight?
33:52No bus.
33:53No bus.
33:53Is there anywhere else around here?
33:56None.
33:57No bus is anywhere tonight?
33:59No.
34:00Nobody seems to run buses at night time.
34:02How can we get to Tbilisi?
34:05Yes.
34:06Yes, it's not.
34:07Can we get a bus?
34:09Can we get a train?
34:10Can we get a bike?
34:11Tomorrow bus.
34:13Yes.
34:13To Ezerum.
34:15When is that bus?
34:178.30.
34:18At 8.30 in the morning?
34:19Yes.
34:20Molly, take your bag.
34:22We're a bit stuck.
34:23There seems to be no buses tonight.
34:26But there is a bus to Ezerum tomorrow morning.
34:29Why is there no buses?
34:31Molly, I can't answer that question, Petal.
34:34If we are in Ezerum tomorrow, would we get a bus from Ezerum to Tbilisi?
34:40Every hour, you can go to Tbilisi.
34:43Daddy, he's speaking through him.
34:44He's not giving us independent information.
34:55I'm just a bit frustrated at the minute because Daddy is not listening to me at all.
34:59And he's telling me to shush, which is really annoying me.
35:02So, it's okay.
35:05But, at the same time, I'm always dirtying myself.
35:09So, I don't know.
35:12So, what do you want to do?
35:13I don't know.
35:14I don't know.
35:16I'm not really sure what to do.
35:18I actually have no gut instinct.
35:20It's a bit annoying.
35:20I normally have something telling me.
35:22So, I'm kind of thinking a full day behind is what we're looking at if we stay tonight.
35:28It's a choice between budget and getting there.
35:32We could pay $7,000 for a taxi or $2,400, get a hotel here.
35:37I think I'm just tired.
35:39And I really mean that.
35:40I just think I'm a bit tired of all.
35:41What do we need more at this moment in time, Petal?
35:43A bed.
35:48A bed of tension tonight between the two of us.
35:50Daddy just kept telling me to shh.
35:52And I find it really difficult when you are just as good at getting information,
35:57but you're kind of put in the back burner.
35:59So, I was struggling and it got a wee bit tense for a moment.
36:03Stress levels are up.
36:07Oh, jeez.
36:08I know, fella, tired of my life.
36:22Good breakfast, man.
36:23We could definitely get to checkpoints today.
36:25Absolutely.
36:25We could actually be fighting for first.
36:28I do, and I was being moved fast.
36:29True.
36:30I think that we've got a very good chance.
36:34We've got to get straight back into race mode.
36:35We've got to get straight back into the game.
36:37Oh, man.
36:39Hopefully, we're going to be a couple of hours ahead from the other teams.
36:42Fingers crossed.
36:43We've kept moving.
36:44We've had good transport connections so far.
36:45Touch wood.
36:46Let's go.
36:47We're going to Possoff.
36:48They're direct to Tbilisi.
36:50Getting the first bus.
36:51The second bus.
36:52And check week.
36:53Boom, boom.
36:55The boys' plan.
36:56Take a minibus to Possoff and cross the border.
37:01Already on Georgian soil, Mark and Margot.
37:09Mark, let me in.
37:10But just 200 kilometres shy of the checkpoint, the progress is put on hold.
37:16How are you feeling?
37:17I'm not thinking too big and mostly mad.
37:19No, OK.
37:20You're the priority.
37:21Even if we lose, like, you know, hours.
37:22Yeah, exactly.
37:23No.
37:24There's no point in me sitting in the hotel while he'll, is there?
37:27So you're getting out?
37:28Yeah.
37:28I've got to get out and experience this place.
37:31Do you want to sit in when you're with you?
37:32Yes.
37:34I'm after the bed of late, son.
37:36We'll draw these curtains for you.
37:37Let you have a little more rest.
37:39All right.
37:40Take care.
37:43Came here mainly Alcatsiki for Mark.
37:46But now it's going to be Margot's day.
37:48I am sorry Mark's sick.
37:50It's disappointing in race terms.
37:53And I do fear we're going to be trailing in fourth place.
37:56Not a lot we can do about it.
37:58So I'm not going to get upset about it.
38:00I'm just going to go and eat some dumplings and drink some wine
38:02because if you can't do anything about it,
38:04you've just got to live your best life.
38:05Absolutely gorgeous.
38:07The castle looks amazing.
38:10In a valley surrounded by the Mescheti Mountains,
38:14Akatsiki,
38:16watching over the city,
38:17the 1,100-year-old fortress,
38:20its walls sheltering a mosque, church and a synagogue.
38:25It's the castle called Akatsiki,
38:28which means Newcastle.
38:30Newcastle in Georgia.
38:32Look at this.
38:33Mark would just be beyond himself
38:36with post-scouted excitement if he was here.
38:40I'm feeling pretty ropey this morning.
38:43I had TT troubles all night.
38:45Tummy trouble.
38:46So I haven't slept at all.
38:47It is frustrating.
38:49I would have loved to get to Tbilisi this evening.
38:52I don't think that's going to happen.
38:54But we'll wait and see if I can recover.
39:00Oh, that's nice.
39:01I like this one.
39:04I like that one.
39:04I think this is my favourite.
39:07Oh, OK.
39:08I'll finish these off.
39:09Yeah, those are both of them.
39:10OK, thank you.
39:12A little Georgian wine tasting we've got going here.
39:15I'm not really sure Mark would be pleased
39:17that I'm spending money on wine,
39:18but I hope he'll be OK with this.
39:21He'll be glad that I'm happy anyway,
39:23so...
39:24Oh, no, now I'm getting guilt.
39:27OK, he's going to be...
39:29I don't know what he's going to say when I get back.
39:33Amazing.
39:34These are huge.
39:38Mmm.
39:39Homemade cognac.
39:40Cheers.
39:41I could drink a lot more of that.
39:43The truth is out.
39:46£10.
39:47So that is an absolute steal.
39:50I think I have done fabulously.
39:57Part of coming on the race
39:58was, like, running away from real life
39:59and just enjoying myself
40:01and just be me for a change
40:03and just go, let rip, you know?
40:06I love doing different things
40:08and I love doing new things all the time
40:10and experiences and excitement.
40:12When I had my children, it was like,
40:13no, you have to kind of, you know,
40:15you've got this work to be done.
40:16It can be joyful work, but it's a slog.
40:20I never planned to have the life I had.
40:22I never planned to be a mum
40:24and settle into suburban lifestyle
40:27and it kind of, it kind of happened.
40:30But, um,
40:33the chance to do this was like
40:34to step back into that
40:37time of mischief.
40:39In my real life,
40:41there's just so many different pulls
40:43on my time and responsibilities,
40:44but here,
40:46they're gone.
40:58Tea?
40:59It's tea.
41:00OK.
41:00Yeah.
41:01It doesn't look anything like it does in a tea bag.
41:06190 kilometres west,
41:08still in Turquia,
41:09Katie and Harrison are repaying
41:11their bed and board
41:16by helping farmer Harun
41:18with his family business.
41:20Very nice.
41:22Nice, nice.
41:23So, this is all
41:25your tea?
41:26Your brother tea?
41:28Brother.
41:28Brother tea.
41:29Brother tea?
41:30Me tea.
41:30Is that tea up there?
41:31Cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin.
41:33Cousin.
41:34Beautiful cousin.
41:35And then you sell?
41:40Business?
41:41Yeah.
41:42Money?
41:42OK.
41:43Very nice business.
41:44Very good, very good.
41:46This is a pretty special landscape.
41:49It's probably the most breathtaking
41:51landscape I've ever seen.
41:56Hoppe's lush, forested mountains
41:58lie within Turquia's prime tea-growing region
42:01along the eastern Black Sea coast.
42:06Introduced in 1918
42:08by botanist
42:09Alireza Erten,
42:11tea has since become central
42:12to the local economy.
42:16I've always wanted to
42:18see places like this.
42:20I know a lot of my friends
42:21have gone to see tea farms.
42:23Have they?
42:24I think I was a bit gutted
42:26when I didn't get to go travelling
42:28the year after
42:29sixth form.
42:31Did you really want to, yeah?
42:33Yeah.
42:35God, yeah.
42:37Oh, why didn't you go?
42:38I think Mum was at her worst then.
42:41I just couldn't
42:43leave Mum
42:44for an extended period of time.
42:46Yeah.
42:46Just wouldn't have wanted to go
42:47just in case anything
42:49bad happened.
42:51Yeah.
42:51We'd want to be around.
42:52Yeah.
42:54Mum's doing a lot better now,
42:55but I think we've cared for Mum
42:57for the last
42:57ten years on and off.
43:00It's interesting, like,
43:01the phrase cared for Mum
43:02because
43:03doesn't everyone care
43:04for their mum
43:05but maybe we did it
43:06a little bit more intensely.
43:08Washing, cooking,
43:10on the really bad days
43:11it would be, like,
43:12helping dresser
43:13and things like that, really.
43:15I think it was a time
43:17of a lot of hospital
43:19visits.
43:19Visits, yeah.
43:21Appointments,
43:22emergency visits,
43:23so, yeah.
43:26Mum became ill,
43:28it was after the separation
43:30with Dad.
43:31It started with the
43:33fibromyalgia.
43:34Yeah.
43:35Chronic fatigue.
43:36Slip disc in her back
43:37that last two years.
43:40There is nothing you can do
43:41if she's screaming out in pain.
43:43There's nothing you can do
43:44apart from hold her hand.
43:46I remember
43:48you felt like a pressure
43:49to push the doctor
43:50to keep asking questions
43:51about,
43:52but what can we do?
43:53Like,
43:54back in 18, 19
43:55I'm not the most confident now.
43:56I definitely wasn't there.
43:58And I just,
43:59I just couldn't.
44:01The bit that
44:02took a toll on me
44:03was just constantly
44:05seeing her in pain.
44:07Like,
44:08that just
44:09broke me,
44:10like,
44:12and knowing there's just
44:12nothing you can do
44:14and nothing no-one else
44:15can do,
44:15but just sit there
44:17and watch her
44:17in so much pain.
44:20Probably the
44:21emotional side of it
44:22took more of a toll on you.
44:24Yeah.
44:25My use was more practical,
44:26maybe?
44:29I think I actually
44:30took on more
44:32emotion,
44:33like,
44:33emotional responsibility
44:36despite me being younger.
44:38Yeah, yeah,
44:38because that was what
44:39you were good at.
44:40Yeah.
44:40Or better at than me.
44:48I have a slight
44:50feeling of guilt
44:51towards how much
44:53Katie cared for Mum.
44:55Looking back,
44:56what I wanted to do
44:57at that point
44:57was spend all,
44:58every hour of the day
44:59on my Xbox
45:00or
45:01or with my mates
45:02playing football,
45:02so I think I would
45:04be a little bit selfish
45:05in terms of
45:06prioritise what I want to do.
45:08But then when you hear
45:09about how much Katie
45:10took on from that,
45:11then maybe I feel
45:12a little bit more guilty
45:13in the fact that
45:13I didn't take as much
45:14as the emotional weight
45:15as Katie did.
45:19I think I would have
45:21liked to have
45:22talked to Harrison
45:23more about
45:24the emotional side
45:26because
45:28I think that
45:29took a big toll
45:30on me growing up
45:31and
45:33to be able
45:34to talk to him
45:34about that
45:35would have been nice
45:35just to
45:37be able to share that
45:38and not, like,
45:40have it
45:40by myself.
45:42So maybe that's
45:43a good place
45:44to start
45:44whilst we're racing.
45:47Take a cup of tea.
45:49Yeah,
45:49love a cup of tea.
45:54Bus station?
45:55Bus station?
45:56Yes, yes,
45:56bus station.
45:58Let's get going.
46:00Fingers crossed
46:01we can get on a coach
46:02and get to
46:03checkpoint tonight.
46:05You think we'll
46:06make it, Mark?
46:07Oh, I don't know.
46:08I hope we do.
46:09With Mark
46:10back on his feet,
46:11the in-laws
46:12restart their push
46:13to the checkpoint.
46:16Looks all
46:17closed up,
46:18doesn't it?
46:19Tbilisi,
46:206.20 in the morning,
46:22so there's nothing
46:23to Tbilisi
46:23till tomorrow.
46:25Mm.
46:26So we can go
46:27to bed now,
46:28get up tomorrow
46:28and get that
46:29bus
46:29or
46:30how much
46:31would a cab cost?
46:32No idea at all.
46:33But how much
46:34would a bed
46:35for the night cost
46:36we'd save on a bed,
46:37wouldn't we?
46:38It would be, yeah.
46:38It's going to cost us.
46:39It's a balancing
46:39out act, isn't it?
46:41How much is a taxi
46:42to Tbilisi?
46:43200.
46:44200 lari.
46:45How much is that?
46:46A lot.
46:47It's 57 quid.
46:49How long?
46:49Three hours.
46:51Three hours?
46:52Yes, yes.
46:5310 o'clock
46:54we get in.
46:56We're going to do...
46:57It's up to you.
46:59It's...
47:00budget versus speed.
47:06Hello.
47:07We're trying to go to Tbilisi.
47:09330 kilometres behind
47:11and trailing in last place.
47:13Andrew and Molly
47:14have made it to Erzurum
47:15and are still looking
47:17for a bus
47:17to the checkpoint.
47:18Go direct to Tbilisi?
47:20If we can.
47:20Direct, yeah.
47:21No, first between Hopa.
47:22Hopa.
47:23Hopa to Tbilisi, direct.
47:25What time will we arrive?
47:27Five hours later,
47:28you are arrived to Hopa.
47:29Hopa is five hours away.
47:31Five hours,
47:32and then after the Hopa...
47:34Seven o'clock at night.
47:35Good choice, Molly.
47:37Cheers.
47:38I'm a bit nervous.
47:41We originally planned
47:42to go through
47:43the middle of Turkey,
47:44avoiding the coastal route,
47:46but what's actually happened
47:47is we've ended up
47:48doing the coastal route
47:49a bit backwards
47:50and probably a bit hours ways.
47:51It's a bit annoying
47:52that we've had to go
47:53all over the place,
47:54but it is what it is.
47:56With no direct bus
47:57to Tbilisi,
47:58they've booked
47:59a 240 kilometre detour
48:01via the coastal town
48:03of Hopa.
48:04I don't know.
48:06I'm not sure
48:07if this is a good decision.
48:08What do you think?
48:10I think that is to ask.
48:13Hello.
48:14Could you help me?
48:15Is Hopa
48:16the quickest route
48:17to Tbilisi?
48:19No.
48:20No?
48:21No.
48:21No, don't go to Hopa.
48:23Don't go to Hopa.
48:26Rizzi at 9.30
48:27is Tbilisi.
48:28OK, perfect.
48:29Enjoy.
48:32The bus driver
48:33has said
48:34better to get off
48:35at Rizzi.
48:37Yeah.
48:37And then from Rizzi
48:38there's a straight bus
48:39to Tbilisi.
48:41Tonight.
48:42Tonight.
48:42OK, kid.
48:43Trust you.
48:45Hope and pray now.
48:48Molly's new plan.
48:50Make up time
48:51by getting off early
48:52in Rizzi
48:52and catch an overnight bus
48:54direct to the checkpoint.
48:57Rizzi?
48:58Rizzi.
48:58OK.
48:59Right, come on.
49:00This could be a major risk.
49:03Tbilisi?
49:04Yes.
49:05Tonight.
49:05Tonight.
49:06Tonight.
49:06Two tickets?
49:07Just a little.
49:08Yes.
49:09Thank you, thank you.
49:11Perfect.
49:12OK.
49:14We got off a stop early.
49:16Bus driver on the bus
49:16kind of gave us
49:17an indication
49:18that there was buses
49:18but you know
49:19at the language barrier
49:20you can't trust anything
49:21until you actually
49:22physically have a ticket
49:23but I have a ticket
49:24that says Tbilisi
49:25so that's what I care about.
49:27Well done, kid.
49:29Daddy's very much a daddy.
49:31He takes the lead
49:31but every now and again
49:33I step in.
49:35You ready?
49:35Three, two, one.
49:37Woo!
49:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:39Oh!
49:40As a parent
49:41you realise that
49:42time goes very, very quickly.
49:43Whee!
49:45Ha ha ha!
49:46When they go from that age
49:48to the age she is
49:48at the minute
49:49that time flies.
49:50Oh, we won!
49:52Yay!
49:52There's a point where
49:53you have to let them grow up
49:55and be who she
49:56is going to be
49:57in this world.
49:58Oh, get involved!
49:59Run!
50:00It's hard
50:01letting Molly take control
50:03because I mean
50:04all daddies want to be needed
50:05but it is very difficult
50:06as a father
50:07so it's a work in progress
50:09and I am struggling
50:10with that.
50:11Big kick!
50:12Oh!
50:13But we're making
50:14great memories
50:14on this trip
50:15so that's what
50:16this is all about.
50:17Tbilisi, here we come.
50:22Taxi?
50:22To Tbilisi.
50:23Tbilisi?
50:24Tbilisi.
50:26Let's go.
50:27What do you think,
50:28it's worth it?
50:28I think it's worth it.
50:30Having caught a minibus
50:31to cross into Georgia
50:32Joe and Kush
50:33spend their earnings
50:34on a 230km taxi ride
50:37straight to Tbilisi.
50:39Go fast.
50:41Hey, there we go.
50:43There we go.
50:44Yeah.
50:44I think this was
50:45a good decision.
50:46Yeah, yeah.
50:46We'll get there
50:48today
50:48and I just think
50:49the guarantee
50:50is worth it
50:51over spending
50:52that extra bit
50:53of money.
50:54To be fair,
50:54we have saved
50:55a lot this leg.
50:56Yeah.
50:59Whoa, Tbilisi!
51:00Tbilisi, here we come.
51:01Yes, you did arrive.
51:03How fast was that then?
51:04Just ahead,
51:06Mark and Margot
51:07have also opted
51:08for speed over budget.
51:10We're doing
51:10what we have to do
51:12to get to checkpoint
51:13as fast as possible.
51:14Yeah, yeah.
51:14This time we had
51:15to get a taxi,
51:16didn't we?
51:17I think we've lost
51:17too much time otherwise.
51:19Yeah.
51:19I don't think we're
51:20that far behind
51:20everyone, to be honest.
51:21Staying in the game.
51:23Staying in the game, Mark!
51:27The vibrant heart
51:28of Georgia.
51:30Tbilisi.
51:32Its architecture
51:33is as diverse
51:34as its history.
51:35Onion-domed churches
51:37and Soviet tower blocks
51:38stand shoulder to shoulder
51:41with ultra-modern structures,
51:43built as part of an effort
51:45to reinvent the city
51:46after the fall
51:47of the Soviet Union.
51:49Thank you very much.
51:51Sick.
51:52Right.
51:53Game on, Mark!
51:57Head down toward the river
51:59and find the Bridge of Peace.
52:03Cross the river,
52:04follow the path upstream.
52:06All right.
52:06You ready to rock and roll?
52:08Excuse me?
52:09Bridge of Peace?
52:10I don't know.
52:11You don't know.
52:12Quite a nice behemoth
52:13lifestyle down here.
52:15Excuse me.
52:16Bridge of Peace?
52:17Let me see this layer of lamps.
52:18The lamps, okay.
52:20Well done, Mark.
52:21You're still on fire,
52:22even if your belly's on fire too.
52:25Bro, I think that's it, you know.
52:26Bet you that's the Bridge of Peace, though.
52:28This is a Bridge of Peace.
52:31Let's go!
52:34Yeah, buddy!
52:36Love this game, like.
52:38This way.
52:38We're going down in under here.
52:40This is gorgeous.
52:42Mmm.
52:43Here we go.
52:47Take the first crossing
52:48over the main road
52:49to find the Leaning Club Tower.
52:52I mean, I can see a tower.
52:54How about it's a clock tower?
52:55Lonky, it does look wonky.
53:00Do you know where the Leaning Club Tower is?
53:02Just up here?
53:03Up here?
53:04Thank you very much.
53:05Thank you, gentlemen.
53:06Leaning Club Tower.
53:08Hi, there it is.
53:09Son of a...
53:10Why are they supposed to be Martin?
53:11There's a Leaning Club Tower.
53:12Yes, well done, Mark.
53:17Travel in the direction
53:18of the advancing
53:20Gugasau Square
53:21for 300 metres
53:23to find your checkpoint,
53:25the Carabasal Hotel.
53:27Gugasaule Square.
53:28That's the one?
53:29That's the one, Mark.
53:31Nearly there, Mark.
53:34I also don't know where we are.
53:36Not me either.
53:38It's dead.
53:39I feel like we've done a full circle.
53:43So we're back where we started now.
53:45We are back where we started.
53:49It's got to be somewhere here.
53:51Hotel?
53:51Which one?
53:52Carabasal.
53:53Carabasal Hotel, you can go there.
53:55This way?
53:56This way?
53:57Lad, we did a full circle.
53:59But if nothing else,
54:00it's a really interesting part of the city.
54:02It's not only the time
54:03for admiring the neighbourhood, Mark.
54:06Let's go.
54:06I want a bed.
54:08Carabasal Hotel, it's in, Margot, it's here.
54:10Yes!
54:11What?
54:16Here we go.
54:18Hello.
54:18Welcome to Carabasal Hotel.
54:19Hello, good evening, good evening.
54:22Please sign in.
54:23OK, Margot.
54:24All right.
54:25You have successfully reached
54:26your fourth checkpoint.
54:27Please sign in.
54:29Overleaf.
54:29Go on, what number?
54:30Four.
54:31Four.
54:32Not by too much, I hope.
54:37We're first!
54:40We made it, we did it!
54:44I don't believe you.
54:45What the hell, Doctor?
54:48Result, we're delighted.
54:49I can't believe it.
54:49We just cannot believe it.
54:51We thought we'd absolutely...
54:53Trash this one, didn't we?
54:54Trash this.
54:55Oh, Margot, that's brilliant.
54:57Thank you very much.
54:58Cheers.
54:59Cheers.
55:01Hello, we'd like to check in.
55:02Want to do the honors?
55:05Oh, God.
55:06Lad.

55:09Oh, my God.
55:09Look at the time as well, bro.
55:10Yo!
55:11Oh, my days.
55:12We just did so well, this leg, lad.
55:13We did so good in terms of money.
55:16I'm very proud of us.
55:17I'm proud.
55:29Oh, I hate cobblestos.
55:31I know.
55:32You see it now?
55:33I think it's up here.
55:36Hello.
55:37Hello.
55:37How are you doing?
55:38Pleased to see you.
55:41Hello.
55:41Hello.
55:42How are you?
55:42Hello.
55:42Nice to meet you.
55:44Right here, Molly.
55:46Oh, my goodness.
55:47Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
55:50Jesus.
55:51Oh, wow.
55:53You're ecstatic.
55:54We're third.
55:54We're third.
55:55I can't believe we're third.
55:56It's nice to know after a leg that we find between ourselves very difficult, we actually
56:02still did half decency.
56:03Yes, we did all right.
56:04Yes.
56:05So.
56:08Holy flip.
56:09After all that.
56:20Oh, that's good.
56:25Hello.
56:26Hello.
56:27Congratulations.
56:28You've successfully reached your fourth checkpoint.
56:29Please sign in, Everly.
56:33Ah.
56:34Yeah, we are far behind.
56:36I'm really happy for them all.
56:39Good for you.
56:40I'm not.
56:41From first to last is really quite the fall from grace.
56:46We're now the underdogs.
56:48It's something to chase after.
56:50Could be a lot worse.
56:51I personally deem it as unacceptable.
56:54At the halfway point in the race to Mongolia, Mark and Margo have surged into the lead for
57:00the first time, while former frontrunners Katie and Harrison have tumbled to last place.
57:07Seeing those three names ahead of you, when we would not experience one or two names ahead
57:11of us before, is a real kick in the teeth.
57:15Oh, it's annoying, isn't it?
57:24To fashion your seatbelts.
57:26This is what we like, adventure.
57:29It very much feels like the unknown now.
57:33Welcome to the X-Men.
57:35Number one, champion.
57:38It's tight now.
57:39I don't know how you're going to do this, boy.
57:41Batman's on top.
57:43All right, give me your vodka.
57:47Oh, my God.
57:48You could get lost very, very quickly in this leg.
57:50Oh, look at that.
57:52Oh, those camels.
57:54Oh, my God.
57:54There's just camels in the middle of the world.
57:56This is going to be cool.
57:59This is going to be cool.
58:27Tell us.
58:27I'll see you next time.
58:27Bye-bye.
