00:25It's got a mix of different styles of architecture.
00:30It's a very beautiful city.
00:31I don't want you to tell us, Mark.
00:32You're the expert.
00:33I've never been here, but you know.
00:37Halfway into the 12,000-kilometre race to Mongolia...
00:41Wow, what a place.
00:42Look at that.
00:42God, it's stunning.
00:44Oh, I love it.
00:45That's where we ran.
00:45Yeah.
00:46I know, yeah.
00:48All four teams gather in Georgia's capital.
00:53Despite all the buildings being so old, it's a very young city.
00:56It's such a street vibe to it, isn't it?
00:58There's a sculpture or something, isn't there?
01:01Oh, yeah.
01:01What is that?
01:02In the heart of Tbilisi, the Tamada or Toastmaster.
01:07Is he singing a song or is he having a drink?
01:09Are you enjoying that?
01:10Tasty.
01:10Tasty.
01:11A symbol of hospitality for nearly 3,000 years, embodying the Georgian belief that every
01:17guest is a gift from God.
01:19Hello.
01:20Hello, everybody.
01:22Fancy meeting you all here.
01:24Imagine.
01:25Such an amazing place for halfway line.
01:28Yeah.
01:29It's such a milestone.
01:31I have no clue what to expect in the next couple of countries.
01:34No idea.
01:34The map is pretty empty.
01:37The teams are entering a new phase of the race.
01:40As they prepare to cross a changing landscape, the leaderboard also shifts.
01:45Mark and Margo have leapt into the lead, while Katie and Harrison trail by nearly 20 hours.
01:51We've dropped from first fourth quite dramatically.
01:56Ah, bottom's terrible.
01:58Like, we had great experiences last time, but I want to make up time.
02:01I think it is just about finding that balance between race and experience.
02:05We clearly haven't found it except in one or the other.
02:08We've proved we can win a leg.
02:10Actually, we've stumbled into winning a leg.
02:12We've gone up and up and up the leaderboard.
02:15Trying to stay at the top now?
02:16Yes!
02:17Yeah.
02:18Due to the land borders being closed between Georgia and Azerbaijan,
02:22it is not possible for the race to continue overland.
02:25You must fly to Akhtar, Kazakhstan.
02:28Wow!
02:30Kazakhstan.
02:31That's a big one on the map.
02:33It's huge.
02:34Oh, my God!
02:35That's going to be amazing.
02:37What's there?
02:38Vast open spaces and grasses everywhere, no trees.
02:43Jeepers.
02:45I'm quite apprehensive.
02:46I know a little bit about the stands,
02:49but Kazakhstan, I've got no idea at all.
02:52It's going to be a wild ride, and we're up for a wild ride.
02:54We didn't sign up for things just to be regular safe.
02:57I can't believe I'm going to Kazakhstan.
02:59It just feels mental.
03:01I don't know what to expect.
03:03I literally couldn't tell you.
03:04I don't know what these countries are like for English,
03:06but I can't imagine that you're going to rock up and go like,
03:08You all right, bro?
03:08Do you know what I mean?
03:11It very much feels like the unknown now.
03:15We'll be back in the morning.
03:39We'll see you once again.
03:43Well, I'm going to need my sunglasses here. Look at that.
03:46Let's get out into Kazakhstan.
03:49Welcome to Kazakhstan. Here we are.
03:52After their flight from Georgia, the four teams have touched down in Akhtal.
04:03Set between desert and sea, a Soviet-era city engineered solely for industry.
04:10This is the gateway to Kazakhstan, the world's largest landlocked country, one of vast horizons and challenging landscapes that have
04:23shaped a culture of both endurance and generosity.
04:29It looks good here, though. Look at that sea just for miles.
04:33I've been on a prairie.
04:35Race leaders Mark and Margot are the first to depart.
04:38Your fifth checkpoint is Zamin National Park.
04:43Ooh, that'll be glorious. Let's have a look.
04:47Zamin.
04:48Uzbekistan. Well found, Margot.
04:50A journey of around 2,200 kilometres into the soaring peaks.
04:57Of Zamin National Park.
05:00Part of the Turkestan mountain range, and nicknamed the Uzbek Switzerland, its alpine meadows and hidden valleys shelter rare birds,
05:10lynx, and Siberian ibex.
05:13Home to some of Central Asia's most dramatic scenery.
05:16A contrast to the arid plains that lead here.
05:21Whoa, the route's going to be wild getting there, I think.
05:23I think so.
05:24I mean, you could go round this way via Kazakhstan.
05:27That is considerably longer.
05:28I think the best way is to go to Uzbekistan.
05:30Go to Uzbekistan.
05:31Yeah.
05:32That's the most direct route, isn't it?
05:34For their longest leg yet, the teams must choose between two countries.
05:39They can make an early crossing into Uzbekistan, following ancient Silk Road routes through bustling cities.
05:47Shorter in distance, but transport may be less reliable.
05:51Or they can stay in Kazakhstan, tracking northeast across remote lands dotted with Soviet-era settlements.
05:59All connected by a 16,000-kilometre railway network that offers slower but steadier travel.
06:07We've only just got to Kazakhstan.
06:09I'd like to see more.
06:11I think it's going to be very much like this, you know, quite boring visually.
06:14Hmm.
06:15Kazakhstan sounds a bit like more crazy and wild, like the Wild West.
06:19Hmm.
06:20Mark has had a lot of choices so far.
06:22I've enjoyed the things we've done, but we've made decisions that were right for him.
06:26But as races continues, I've realised that I have to have my turn of choosing things.
06:30So let's have a little look in the directory, see what jobs are on offer.
06:33OK, yes, yes.
06:34Look at this, Mark.
06:35Look at that one.
06:36The horse farm near Turkestad.
06:38I love horses.
06:39You do?
06:40Yeah, do you?
06:41Hmm.
06:42I'm not too keen on horses, but I think Mongolian and Kazakhstan horses, I think they're quite small.
06:46Are they?
06:47I might be OK with them, yes.
06:48Joyful horses, yeah.
06:50Coming first, I think we've got the chance to take risks.
06:53Even though it looks further to travel, I feel it's going to be faster, but I've got nothing to base
06:59it on.
06:59It's a gamble.
07:00Yeah, it's OK.
07:01Let's gamble and go to Kazakhstan.
07:02Roll the dice.
07:03Yeah.
07:04We want to get to...
07:05Train station.
07:06To keep the race on track, the in-laws are planning a Kazakh adventure, heading northeast from Akhtau City by
07:13rail.
07:14Oh, sorry, do you speak English?
07:15The train station.
07:16He will take me.
07:19Word.
07:19Great.
07:20Yes, yes, yes.
07:22Oh, thank you.
07:23My name is Janice.
07:25Jengis, the man.
07:28I'll go in the front with Jengis.
07:30Lovely.
07:32Hey!
07:34Welcome, Kazakhstan.
07:36Hey!
07:37Akhtau!
07:39Look at this.
07:40It is like the Wild West Mart.
07:42Look at it.
07:42Isn't it?
07:45Train.
07:46Choo-choo.
07:47Choo-choo.
07:48Caspi-sea.
07:49Mm-hmm.
07:50For Caspi-sea, patom, voxal.
07:52No, we want the station.
07:54Oh, I think you wanted to show us the Caspian Sea.
07:56Caspi-sea.
07:56Yes, Caspi-sea.
07:57We've got a bit of a tour here.
07:59I'm not sure about this, Margot.
08:01This is what we like, adventure.
08:04The adventure of a lifetime, Kazakhstan.
08:0890 minutes behind.
08:10There's a train route that goes straight through Kazakhstan.
08:13I'm sick of buses.
08:15Joe and Cush debate their options.
08:17I think it's going to take longer than it's worth, in my opinion.
08:20Uzbekistan looks way shorter.
08:22Our number one priority is the race,
08:24so I want to take the faster route regardless.
08:27I can't lie.
08:28It is wacky, but I think overnight train will be sick.
08:31An amazing experience.
08:32I want to do Kazakhstan.
08:35Uzbekistan does look more efficient.
08:36It does look quicker.
08:37But I'm not thinking about efficiency.
08:39I'm thinking about the experience.
08:41Ah, so, Kizlodra.
08:43Is this travelling through Kazakhstan?
08:44Yes.
08:46Oh, bro.
08:46So from 8.30am tomorrow, we can get from Aktau to Kizlodra.
08:50One day, five hours.
08:52Oh, wow, OK.
08:5229-hour train.
08:54We're going to cover so much distance by this one overnight.
08:57Let's go, Kazakhstan.
08:58Clinching the argument for Joe.
09:00Bosh.
09:01The best friends have found a cross-country train leaving in the morning,
09:05taking them a hugely beneficial 1,400 kilometres deep into Kazakhstan.
09:1129-hour train is going to be boss.
09:14We are super, super stoked.
09:16Tomorrow, we are covering more distance than the length of the UK.
09:19That could be sick.
09:27Caspian Sea.
09:28Wow.
09:29Caspian Sea.
09:30We're seeing the Caspian Sea, weren't we, OK?
09:33Spanning an area the size of Japan,
09:35the Caspian Sea isn't a sea at all,
09:37but the world's largest lake.
09:40Gorgeous.
09:40Didn't think we'd get to see this, did you?
09:42No, I didn't.
09:44Five nations share its vast shoreline.
09:48Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Russia, Iran and Kazakhstan.
09:53Ah.
09:54This is beautiful.
09:58I am liking Kazakhstan so far.
10:00Already get a sense of the pride they've got in their country.
10:03Caspian Sea.
10:04Caspian Sea, yeah.
10:06Without you, we wouldn't have seen it.
10:09Station.
10:10Choo-choo.
10:11Choo-choo.
10:11Yes, ticket.
10:12Ticket?
10:13Yeah.
10:14What's he telling you?
10:15Oh, 6.30.
10:17Oh, dear.
10:18We missed it.
10:20So if we'd come straight out, we could have...
10:22Yeah, we might have done it, yeah.
10:248.30 tomorrow?
10:25Yes, OK.
10:28Eyeing up the same long-distance train as Joe and Cush...
10:32It's going to be a long, hard journey, I think, for us.
10:34Just zip it, man.
10:36This journey's going to be a triumph.
10:38They will also need to wait until morning,
10:40losing their lead before they've left Actour.
10:44No matter what the consequences,
11:15I'm glad we've done it.
11:15Yeah, they're on the same train.
11:18Gee.
11:19That's mad.
11:20We've closed that gap.
11:21Looks like it's go time.
11:24Wow.
11:25The efficiency.
11:27Leaving on time.
11:28Two teams set off on their long-haul train journey,
11:31bound for the vastness of Kazakhstan.
11:34It's going to be interesting, isn't it?
11:36Ask me that in 29 hours.
11:39First carved over a century ago,
11:42these Russian and Soviet tracks
11:44skirt the sparse Usturd plateau.
11:49Outside, some of the most remote terrain on Earth.
11:53Inside, the carriages are famed for their village-like community,
11:58where the Kazakh spirit can turn strangers into family.
12:06I have no clue what this game is,
12:08don't know what it's called,
12:08don't know how it works.
12:09This guy just whips out the board
12:11and started pointing.
12:13Not a single word spoken yet.
12:15Who's in college?
12:18Oh!
12:20Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:21Wait, you can't.
12:22I know, yeah.
12:23I'm probably getting battered right now.
12:25I don't know what the score is,
12:26but it is fun just, like,
12:28interacting with someone in a different way.
12:29Oh, wait.
12:31What's it you think he's showing me?
12:32Oh, my God.
12:33He won second in the championship.
12:36Why?
12:36Wait.
12:37Oh, my God.
12:40You're playing with a master job.
12:43It's the strangest sausage I've ever seen.
12:45Yes, it is, isn't it?
12:46Very old sausage.
12:47Right, you're going to have to help me with that...
12:49No, no.
12:49...Kazak spam.
12:51Got to eat it.
12:52Keep your strength up.
12:53I was a vegetarian for 20 years.
12:55I'm becoming a vegetarian again.
12:56Not on this trip, you won't be.
12:59Blokes over there are having vodka with their breakfast.
13:02Do you think we should get some vodka with our breakfast?
13:04I am not having vodka with my breakfast, no.
13:06It must be a tradition, a Kazakhstan tradition, Mark.
13:08Oh, let's have a vodka.
13:10No, no vodka first thing in the morning.
13:12I'm going to ask if it's traditional, OK?
13:14OK, you can see.
13:15I'm going to ask them about the culture.
13:17What?
13:18English?
13:18No, no.
13:19No, no.
13:20What was the name?
13:21Margo.
13:22Margo?
13:23Margo.
13:23Margo.
13:24My name's Sultan.
13:25Sultan?
13:26Sultan.
13:27Do you have vodka for breakfast?
13:30Is this usual?
13:33Oh.
13:39Oh, wow.
13:42This is a good tradition.
13:44Oh, Mark, you're having a great time.
13:47Yes.
13:49Hypnotise.
13:50Give me your vodka.
13:52Oh, give me your vodka.
13:55Mark, you don't want to come round and join us?
13:57No.
13:57No?
13:58I'm happy here.
13:59Oh, sorry, sorry.
13:59Sorry.
14:00Is that on him?
14:01I don't drink vodka at all, really.
14:03It's not my drink.
14:04He wants to marry me, does he?
14:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
14:08You're a very naughty boy.
14:10I'm on trend shows, actually.
14:11I like to look out the window and see the landscape.
14:13Let's go.
14:15It's always.
14:17Yay!
14:21As two teams advance further into Kazakhstan...
14:26Look at that.
14:27Look, that is just unreal.
14:28As far as the eye can see, nothing.
14:31I sound silly, but, like, you can see why people think
14:34they're at this flat.
14:36Third, to get going, Andrew and Molly set out their plan.
14:41I really want to do a city.
14:43I love the idea of being around people and culture.
14:47Uzbekistan is synonymous with the original Silk Road.
14:50Some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
14:53I think that could be dead fun.
14:55It'll be fun.
14:58Opting for a route east through Uzbekistan,
15:01the pair set their sights on an ancient city.
15:04Kiva.
15:07You all right?
15:08Yeah.
15:09Okay.
15:09Where's the train?
15:11We're trying to go to Uzbekistan through Benu.
15:16Benu?
15:17Yes.
15:18No, no, no.
15:21Determined to reach Uzbekistan today,
15:23they must first make the five-hour trip to Benu,
15:26aiming for an evening connection across the border.
15:30How much to go to Benu now?
15:32I think we missed a train to Benu,
15:35where we know we would have got a connection to Uzbekistan.
15:38So we're kind of racing the clock a bit,
15:41because I really want to go to Kiva City.
15:44$50?
15:45Boy.
15:46Yes.
15:47Guy's willing to take us for $50.
15:49Yes.
15:49All right.
15:50Two Benu and we'll be there for 4 o'clock.
15:52Jeez, that'd be great.
15:53I think we take it.
15:55Okay.
15:56Go, go, go.
15:57Go, go.
15:58Are you happy with us, yeah?
15:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:02Oh.
16:03No.
16:05No, no.
16:06$100?
16:07No.
16:08$100?
16:08No.
16:08Stop.
16:09Well, then, grand, we get the train.
16:11No.
16:11How much?
16:12Do you want to know?
16:14I really haven't a clue what to know.
16:16Yeah, we had agreed $50,
16:17and then his mates obviously got around him
16:19and decided that that wasn't the money to pay.
16:21Hey, hey, what are you doing?
16:23I don't want $100.
16:25I want $70.
16:27But Molly's currently in negotiations with about 20 men.
16:30That's okay, yeah, then.
16:31Goodbye.
16:31Goodbye.
16:32You all right, Molly, Dale?
16:33Yeah.
16:34She's holding her own,
16:35so, but we just have to wait and see.
16:37Yeah, $70.
16:38$70.
16:39Daddy, he endured for $70.
16:42Well done.
16:42That was good.
16:45Right, go.
16:47Stressful.
16:48It means we get the connection so nice,
16:50which is the main thing.
16:52When's the last time you ever had something like that?
16:53I've never had that before.
16:55Never?
16:55Jesus, Molly, well done, kid.
16:57With Andrew and Molly finally on their way to Bennu...
17:01Oh, by the way, we're still in Europe.
17:03We're not in Europe.
17:04We're in Asia, Harrison.
17:05Kazakhstan playing the Euro qualifiers.
17:08Katie and Harrison waste no time in doing the same.
17:11I don't do continents.
17:12I do football confederations.
17:15We're going through Uzbekistan rather than over the top through Kazakhstan.
17:20Immediately, it looks like the direct route.
17:25Chasing the same train as Andrew and Molly,
17:27they look to move quickly across Uzbekistan.
17:31We are 20 hours behind first.
17:34Last leg, we maxed out on experience,
17:36but it did feel like we threw away three lengths worth of hard work.
17:40I just don't want to sign in last again.
17:43We're racing a lot more than the last leg,
17:45but it is about balance.
17:47Whilst we're in these places,
17:49we're going to try and experience as much as possible.
17:51Oh, there's camels.
17:54Oh, my God, there's just camels in the middle of the world.
17:57This is going to be cool.
18:02Right, let's go. Bye-bye.
18:07What time?
18:0948. And it goes to Nukas.
18:11OK.
18:12Yes. Nukas time.
18:13Tickets secured.
18:14Hello!
18:16Hello!
18:17Just like the frontrunners,
18:19the bottom two teams are now neck and neck.
18:22Happy days!
18:23Are you getting this one as well?
18:25Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all sorted.
18:27Yay!
18:28Right, let's get on the train.
18:33There is a race back on.
18:34It's nice to know that we've caught up with someone already.
18:37I'm sure they're not happy to be with us.
18:39Because, I mean, they've lost their lead on us.
18:42There's no other train we could have got,
18:43so we've got what we needed to do.
18:45I'm not worried about who I can see.
18:46Are you worried about who I can see?
18:48Yeah, I can see, exactly.
18:50And if people are around us, that means we're in the game.
18:52You could have some bread.
18:54I will have some of them, I'd say.
18:56But, like, Jesus, the bread and water is not.
19:00I am starving.
19:02I've got no water, no food.
19:04But what we've been doing here is
19:06eat when you can, because you don't know when you're going to eat next.
19:09Yeah.
19:09The problem is, it's not that hard to find food.
19:12So, every time I eat, I've been eating like I'm not going to eat next 48 hours.
19:16But, realistically, it's the next four to eight hours.
19:20LAUGHTER
19:21LAUGHTER
19:36Don't drink the water.
19:38Thanks!
19:39LAUGHTER
19:39It's not as up to the Orient Express.
19:43LAUGHTER
20:02As the 29-year-old girl, I'm going to run away, I'm going to run away.
20:13as the 29-hour train pulls two teams further across Kazakhstan their rival
20:19two teams have made it to Uzbekistan got a train ticket sorted for tomorrow
20:24morning out of Nukas I'm very much looking forward to getting to explore
20:28Uzbekistan a bit a nation now dominated by youth with 60% of its citizens under
20:3430 yet beneath that energy lies a history stretching back more than two
20:40millennia with some of Central Asia's oldest settlements
20:45how old is this cemetery then Katie think of old and then think like even
20:50older than that just outside Nukas one of those ancient sites still remains
20:57Mr. Khan a sacred necropolis in use for 22 centuries as a burial ground for local
21:04communities profits and royalty we're getting into someone's grave
21:09it's kind of creepy man what the wow
21:15even the brickwork on it like it's just you've got hundreds of different types of bricks in it and
21:19they've then been put together to create a pattern it must have been such a fast I really want one
21:26will you build a building for me when I die must be jerking
21:32it's just cool to go somewhere that's so untravelled part of world I never thought I'd go to
21:37I know we're obviously racing this leg to try and get out of fourth place but
21:41been nice to stop for a second isn't it like to get an appreciation of of what
21:46Uzbekistan's about yeah thousands of years over where we're stood
21:50some of them date back to 400 BC and the dinosaurs around oh my god
21:57are you serious where's the ticket office sorry on the other side of town at Nukas station
22:06sorry do you really buy a ticket you could Andrew and Molly have their own plans to explore Uzbekistan
22:14I am especially looking forward to Kiva city we'd love to see the culture rather than
22:20going on to nature just more daddy things but yeah that'd be lovely actually we're looking to get
22:26to Kiva city when is the next train all right thank you thank you thank you okay having missed

23:02you can see
23:03it from the map the distances we're covering it's gonna be a long leg a lot of travel I think
23:07you could get
23:08lost very very quickly in this leg beginning to realize that Molly has the ability to be confident
23:13but at times she doesn't have that inner self-belief so my job is the reminder that there's a time
23:23to put
23:24the skates on okay sorry for being a bit indecisive I'm just overthinking probably I'm gonna have to
23:30make a call yeah he will won't come on Kiva city so do yes okay okay yes Molly's Kiva city

23:50one all right
23:51I'm just gonna do it's true at least we should get there in a couple of hours and enjoy Kiva
23:58yeah
24:00as father and daughter make the last 180 kilometer push to Kiva two teams are still racing along the rails
24:07through Kazakhstan's Kizilorda region an open desert step where settlements are scarce and the horizon
24:15seems never-ending look at that bit of flatland oh my god you see that it's a rock how do
24:25they
24:25survive on this landscape to start off with it was actually quite a variety of terrain mm-hmm but it's
24:31flattened out into a vast step I have not seen one tree since eight o'clock this morning wake me
24:38up
24:38with anything interesting happens I think you're pretty safe
24:50on the edge of the Karakum desert lies Kiva a gateway for silk road traders to rest and
25:00recover before facing the vast sands of Central Asia within it lies itch and Kala a maze of narrow
25:08streets and blue tiled minarets enclosed by towering clay walls still perfectly preserved today oh look at
25:17this Molly Wow okay just shut up I just feel like we've taxied this whole yeah I know journey and
25:28Andrew and Molly's city stopover has cost more than a day and a half's race budget on taxis alone a
25:35modern reminder of just how remote this outpost is to reach Kiva yep it's just lovely eventually got here
25:44but honestly very deflated very deflated kind of annoyed
25:53close there's a lot more need to get here and we're gonna have to spend money to get out of
25:58here
25:58more than likely or you just sacrifice the race it's something I wanted to do and it's not worked out
26:09very
26:09well so I've got a guilt with that

26:44I don't really know why I'm upset
26:46I'm trying to prove myself that I'm independent but I really do overthink things I'm always kind of going oh

29:44My father, he fight Muay Thai, me Muay Thai, father.
29:50My biological dad passed away when I was one.
29:54My mum was alone with me and my older brother,
29:57and she met my dad slash stepdad Matt.
30:01He was a fighter, he's coached me and my brother for as long as I can remember.
30:06Muay Thai, Thai boxing.
30:08As a kid, I remember doing pads in the garden, that's a big one.
30:12He'd do round the pads with us and then make us do press-ups while the other one does the
30:16pads.
30:17Even though we're not blood, he never once shied away from treating me as his own.
30:26So, growing up with him as someone strong to look up to, it means the world.
30:32Your medals!
30:36Bro, what are you saying?
30:38Champion!
30:40Number one?
30:41Champion!
30:44There's a language barrier, but I can sort of relate to the journey that they've grown up with,
30:49watching their dad and being inspired to then pursue the same passion.
30:54Hey!
30:55You've done this.
30:56You know Muay Thai.
30:57I think this guy's got a lovely family.
30:58It's so lovely all of it.
30:59It's so sweet.
31:06And Uzbekistan?
31:09Taxi?
31:10Taxi?
31:11Taxi?
31:12Train station?
31:13Train?
31:15English?
31:17Ah.
31:19Make the choo-choo noise.
31:20Train?
31:21Choo-choo.
31:22Poise!
31:23Poise!
31:24Poise!
31:24Poise!
31:24It works out.
31:26Okay, thank you.
31:28No time to mess around with half-ass train noises.
31:32We're in a race.
31:33Having spent the night in Nukas, Katie and Harrison are bound 550 kilometres south-east to the medieval city Bukhara.
31:43Gonna get travelling all day.
31:44You can't really ask for much more.
31:47To the south in Kiva.
31:49Train to Bukhara?
31:50Andrew and Molly have the same idea.
31:53Two.
31:53Is that the earliest?
31:54There's no earlier one?
31:57Molly, the earliest is two.
31:59It's half ten now and it's gonna be a long wait.
32:01The taxis?
32:03How much?
32:04Yeah, it's 50 quid.
32:05It's gonna cost several the money to get the taxi.
32:07This leg, we've taxied a lot.
32:09I think I'd rather prioritise budget getting to Bukhara.
32:12Bukhara.
32:13So where?
32:13Train's better.
32:14Train's best?
32:15Yeah.
32:15That's a good call, yeah.
32:17I need two tickets to Bukhara.
32:20I'm feeling very good.
32:21Much better today.
32:23The last couple of legs, I've realised that being last hasn't been a hindrance.
32:26Paris and Katie were ten hours behind us.
32:29I'm sure they've got the same trainer that's out of here.
32:31So I think really, in the next coming legs, it's not gonna matter.
32:35If we can just stay in the game, stay as close as possible.
32:38Appreciate it.
32:39Thanks very much.
32:40There's no point won in the first couple.
32:42You only want to win one.
32:43So we keep telling ourselves.
32:47560 kilometres away in southern Kazakhstan.
32:51You can see some of that Soviet architecture, isn't it?
32:54Two teams wake up in Kizilorda.
32:59In the 1920s, it was the Soviet capital, owing to its strategic position on the Tashkent railway line.
33:07Wow.
33:07Workers unite.
33:08Look at that.
33:09That's rather good, that.
33:10Circuit propaganda, isn't it?
33:12It's very strong and dramatic.
33:14As Mark and Margo head out of the city to reach their homestay.
33:18Horses!
33:20Come on, Margo.
33:21Want to go to sleep?
33:27So cool.
33:28Joe and Kush have the opportunity to explore their host, Bekzat's dojo.
33:33To the coach.
33:34Salam alaykum.
33:39Definitely a random experience.
33:41They were due though in the middle of Kazakhstan.
33:47Kush has been starved from his Muay Thai.
33:50It was nice to see him let off some steam.
33:56Come to this gym, it means a lot to me.
33:59It's more than just throwing and hitting and fighting.
34:02There's a lot of meaning behind it.
34:06I think back to memories with my dad.
34:08I found it sick to do what your dad does.
34:12Being in the gym, I wonder what he'd be thinking.
34:15He'd be standing on the side with a particular sort of smirk on his face
34:19watching me do judo throws.
34:26I remember the day he passed.
34:29It was locked down and it was a real big shock.
34:33He had really poor mental health and he took his own life.
34:41You never sort of forget that shock factor.
34:50I still think about him all the time.
34:53Being on this journey, it's brought me little moments of,
34:57oh, be boss to tell him.
35:01And I wish, I really wish I could sort of show him who I am now.
35:07Because when you're 14, it's like, I didn't know who I was.
35:10And I was still a child.
35:13And I made a lot of mistakes when I was younger.
35:16And I feel like if I could sort of show him what I've learned.
35:32Losing Kush's dad, it was so sudden.
35:36I think experiencing them hardships, like, so unexpectedly,
35:42it has affected Kush's personality.
35:46He wants to stay in control of himself.
35:49You know, he's never drank, he's never got drunken before,
35:53doesn't smoke, doesn't do anything without checking safety twice.
35:59Because it was such a shock,
36:00I guess he doesn't want anything like that to happen again.
36:05I'm very grateful we're doing the race together.
36:11Like, we can literally go to each other for anything.
36:14We just need to get to Turkestan.
36:15Hopefully we can get some work.
36:17Keeping the budget healthy.
36:19I'm always there for Kush,
36:20and I know he's always there for me as well.
36:23Who's Turkestan?
36:25Oh, perfect.
36:26Sick. Thank you.
36:28Goodbye.
36:29Goodbye.
36:32Check the jobs directory.
36:34There's a job serving food at this party.
36:37See?
36:37That looks sick.
36:39That would be boss.
36:41As Joe and Kush push on south in search of work...
36:47Across the border in Uzbekistan...
36:49It's tight now.
36:50I don't know how you're going to do this, boy.
36:52...Andrew and Molly are finally
36:53on their seven-hour train journey to Bukhara.
36:56I don't know how you're...
37:00Batman's on top.
37:04Heading the same way...
37:06How is it?
37:07This is scary.
37:09It's kind of cool.
37:09This is what I've been wanting to do this whole time.
37:12Katie and Harrison.
37:13I feel like this is an out-of-body experience.
37:17Looking at a desert outside of a sleeper train.
37:19Yeah.
37:20I just never thought I'd be here.
37:22Really pleased with how we're racing so far.
37:24We spent a good day in Nukkas, but then got out there as soon as we reasonably could.
37:29And now we're nine hours on the move to Bukhara.
37:31He couldn't ask for much more, really.
37:34My name is Faisal.
37:36Faisal.
37:36Harrison.
37:37Harrison.
37:39Nice to meet you.
37:39Katie.
37:41Where are you from?
37:42Where did you come from?
37:44I'm from Uzbekistan.
37:45We're from Manchester.
37:49Manchester United.
37:51Yeah.
37:52Good ball, come on.
37:53Ah, yeah.
37:54Kuzanov.
37:55Ah, Manchester City.
37:56Yeah, so Uzbekistan, the centre-back.
37:58He must be quite good.
37:59Yeah, he's good.
38:00Manchester City.
38:01If you said to me five years ago that you'd be travelling across the world and seeing these
38:06places, I wouldn't have believed you.
38:08I'm obviously a world away from home, but I don't feel it.
38:14Before the race, I certainly wouldn't be going up to speaking to people.
38:18I think it's become a second nature now.
38:20It is very lovely to meet you two.
38:22You have been very kind.
38:24It's the bit that I kind of dread, but it's always the experience I get the most out of.
38:28I'll come away thinking just how wonderful everyone is.
38:32This is a gift from me to you.
38:33It is very precious to me because it's my first achievement in Nookust.
38:37Oh, no, no, no, no.
38:39You sure?
38:41Oh.
38:42Oh.
38:43It's a medal.
38:44Oh, half marathon.
38:46Oh.
38:47Running.
38:48I have run a half marathon, too, in Manchester.
38:51I can send you my medal if you would like it.
38:55My name is Faizullo.
38:56Faizullo?
38:57My name is Harrison.
39:01We are friends.
39:07Hello.
39:09They're lovely, aren't they?
39:12Would you like to get on one ride?
39:14Not particularly.
39:16In Kentau, just outside the city of Turkestan, Mark and Margo have made it to the horse farm, run by
39:26Kularnish and his family.
39:29OK.
39:31One job you've got to do is shovel shit.
39:34This is very ripe.
39:37Mucking in in exchange for bed and board.
39:40Give me a wheelbarrow.
39:41I'm fine.
39:41Absolutely fine.
39:43Do-do-do-do-do-do.
39:45I love wheelbarrows.
39:47Essential to survival, horses have long sustained life on the steppe.
39:51As transport, the source of kumas, a fermented mare's milk, and as a vital food source.
39:59Mum loves horses.
40:00That's how my granddad loved horses.
40:02Oh, gosh, your granddad was a...
40:04My great granddad.
40:05My great granddad was a horse trader, wasn't he?
40:07Yes.
40:07Yes.
40:09So, what will we do with the horses?
40:12Meat.
40:13Oh, they're meat?
40:14They're meat.
40:15Oh, Lord.
40:18My dream has turned into a nightmare.
40:21Good taste of reality, isn't it?
40:25When I thought about the Kazakh horses, I just thought of them running wild, excitedly over the fields or something.
40:31Oh, no.
40:33Are we all right?
40:34I didn't really associate it with the reality of it's a major food source, and that is reality of the
40:41way of life.
40:42But I want to be open-minded, but sometimes my mind just doesn't want to go there.
40:47Poor fella.
40:50I'm not as squeamish as Margot's.
40:53Of course, it's human life, isn't it? We eat animals.
40:57The light's gone, hasn't it, now?
40:58Right, let's go.
41:02I'm here, am I?
41:03I'm at the table, there we go.
41:06To welcome their guests, the family has prepared a traditional meal.
41:10It's like a banquet.
41:12I feel like a king, Margot.
41:16Oh, gosh.
41:19Oh, thank you very much.
41:21Look at that. Is that a goat?
41:25Ram's head.
41:27Ram's head.
41:27Ram's head.
41:28Ram's head.
41:29For guests of honour.
41:30Wow, look at that.
41:33Oh, Lord.
41:35What is this?
41:37Oh!
41:38Oh!
41:40It might feel impolite not to accept it.
41:43OK, I'll try a bit of that today.
41:45OK, do something.
41:47Mmm.
41:49Do you like it?
41:51It tastes of succulent lamb, yes.
41:54I'm enjoying this route.
41:55I am enjoying it.
41:56But it's not been everything I'd hoped for.
41:59It was a bit of a surprise, really.
42:02I don't know why.
42:02I think my fairytale thinking got me into another fine mess.
42:08And what's that?
42:10I don't know.
42:11It's meat.
42:12Mark, this is why I brought you on the race.
42:15I'm taking one for the team.
42:17Hi, hello.
42:18Hello.
42:19They are all happy to see you in our home.
42:23Oh, she gave me such a hug.
42:24She gave me a hug.
42:30A wonderful family.
42:31It's been a real joy meeting them.
42:33This has raised my spirits.
42:35We have gifts for you.
42:37Oh, my goodness!
42:38We have gifts for you.
42:40Oh, my gosh!
42:46Someone like how I would imagine people
42:48from the ex-Soviet Union to be.
42:50Yeah!
42:53You always see images in the West
42:55of them being very dour and grumpy.
42:58This is not the case here.
42:59Neither.
42:59Ooh!
43:01Yes!
43:02These are vibrant, exciting, lovely people
43:06with big hearts.
43:08This is my wife.
43:09This is Julia.
43:10The brochure that I carry with me,
43:12the celebration of Julia's life.
43:14So beautiful.
43:15She is beautiful.
43:16She is very, very beautiful.
43:17It really is an eye-opener of how we should
43:20actually treat fellow humans.
43:21Amazing.
43:22Ooh!
43:22The Kazakh way.
43:24Your treasures.
43:25Absolute treasures.
43:27Thank you very much.
43:28Bye-bye.
43:30Isn't that lovely?
43:31Mm-hmm.
43:32That was an incredible night.
43:34It was.
43:35Not what I expected.
43:36For a while there, back at the farm, I was like...
43:39I know, you were very down, weren't you, about the farm?
43:41I was...
43:41I was...
43:42Yeah, but...
43:43They've opened their hearts and home to us, absolutely.
43:45We could feel it.
43:46It was so genuine, wasn't it?
43:48This homestead, it hasn't been about horses.
43:50It's been about humans.
43:50It's been about families.
43:51Yeah.
43:52In communities.
43:53And that's what's been so wonderful about it.
43:54Absolutely.
43:5940 kilometres south, in the centre of Turkestan...
44:04Getting ourselves dressed up.
44:05For the first time in a long time.
44:07I like a smart, casual fit, you know what I mean?
44:10Joe and Kush are bolstering their funds
44:13with a shift at a luxury events venue.
44:16I wonder what the celebration is for.
44:18Today's celebration is called a circumcision party.
44:22Sick.
44:29The Kazakh tradition of sundet toy.
44:34A celebration of every boy's journey towards manhood.
44:38Wow, these gifts are lavish for a...
44:40This is a really big deal.
44:43And an opportunity for families to display their wealth
44:46by spending big on lavish banquets and entertainers.
44:51I've never been anywhere like this.
44:53My team was in a church.
44:54It was quiet.
44:55It was family and friends.
44:56And these guys, they're getting handed wads of cash.
45:10Oh my God.
45:11There's an eagle.
45:12Wow, look at that.
45:14Imagine getting an eagle in your party, bro.
45:16That would be lit.
45:17Hello.
45:18Nice to meet you.
45:19My name is Nazgut.
45:20Nazgut?
45:20Yes.
45:21Kush.
45:21It's nice to meet you.
45:22You're so beautiful.
45:26I love the outfits.
45:28Okay.
45:31We will watch, okay?
45:32We will watch.
45:33Yes, okay.
45:34Bye-bye.
45:34Bye-bye.
45:36Your eyes are so beautiful.
45:39Give me one minute.
45:46This job has been lively, shall I say.
45:50We wanted that randomness.
45:52We wanted to experience new things.
45:54I think this has ticked both of them boxes.
45:57I don't know.
45:58I was just blown away that this type of thing is happening around the world.
46:02Like, yeah, it was a celebration of these two lads getting a circus.
46:05But I feel like it was...
46:08It uplifted everyone in that moment.
46:10We're like...
46:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:13What do you say?
46:14I said, come find me after you finish dancing.
46:16Sick.
46:17Steady.
46:18Steady.
46:18Confidence.
46:20This is the best job.
46:22Oh, my God.
46:23It's mine and Joe's calling, you know what I mean?
46:25We've been talking to everyone.
46:26Everything's so nice.
46:29It's really made me so thankful that I listened to Joe,
46:31and we decided to go through Kazakhstan.
46:33I mean, it's such a beautiful country.
46:35It's got so much heart.
46:36I'm trying to learn to enjoy the moment a lot more,
46:38trying not to think so much about the future or the past.
46:40You just got to take it all in your stride and enjoy it as much as you can,
46:43and today's been so enjoyable.
46:44Lo-ki-do.
46:46Have you seen the mother?
46:48She's fine.
46:53She's...
47:04Oh, Harrison.
47:07You look bonita.
47:10Orange is your colour.
47:11Having arrived last night...
47:13Do you want to get me, Ben?
47:14We've been racing pretty hard this leg.
47:16We do have time.
47:17We can go and have a wander around.
47:20Katie and Harrison are exploring Bukhara.
47:24Another key stop on the Silk Road, it was a centre for Islamic theology.
47:30Unlike the stillness of Kiva, it remains a city where ancient madrasas,
47:35centres of higher learning, sit alongside a modern working city.
47:40A stunning mosque.
47:42Incredible, isn't it?
47:43Yeah.
47:43At its centre, the 500-year-old Kalyan Mosque.
47:47So have you got a scarf?
47:53Incredible, what a bit of craftsmanship.
47:56You don't see that on a new build in Manchester either.
47:58Its grand arches and geometric detail designed to evoke a sense of harmony and balance.
48:06Katie, you stand right in the middle.
48:09The symmetry of that.
48:11Maybe that's why you like it so much here, because everything is symmetrical.
48:16It is.
48:18Shall we get some food?
48:20Yeah.
48:21I'm starving.
48:25It's a little bit of luxury, isn't it?
48:27Very peaceful.
48:29I wouldn't have done this a few years ago.
48:31Yeah, you used to be really boring, so it's just good that you did not let yourself miss out on
48:36these types of experiences.
48:39Really boring is a bit harsh.
48:41You're quite boring.
48:43Without the race, I wouldn't have allowed myself to go travelling to see these things in person.
48:48It's not in the plan I set out for myself at 17, 18 years old.
48:54My priorities in life have been to save money, get on the property ladder as soon as I can.
48:59If that's all sorted, then I think it takes away a lot of the worries and stresses that I saw
49:03our family grew up with.
49:06We're good.
49:07We struggled a little bit financially.
49:10There was a lot of moving.
49:11I think I've lived in maybe 14 different houses.
49:13I've loaned money to my family from the age of 16, since I started working.
49:19Kind of like the Bank of Harrison, rather than Bank of Mum and Dad.
49:24The stresses of financially not always having enough, that's what shaped me to be so financially motivated and secure.
49:32But I think my mindset on that is definitely starting to shift.
49:36The bill here.
49:38Is it as much as you thought?
49:40What?
49:40Service charge.
49:42What?
49:42Service charge.
49:44Well, it was very good service, to be fair.
49:46It was.
49:47Right.
49:48Well, the tourist information centre over there, get taxis there to Zamin.
49:52Yeah.
49:54Poised just 430 kilometres from Zamin.
49:57Sorry.
49:58Do you have any English?
50:00The two teams in Bukhara set about securing onward transport.
50:04We are trying to get to Zamin National Park.
50:08To strike out towards the checkpoint.
50:13Do I mean?
50:14How much?
50:15One hundred dollars.
50:17No.
50:17We are on small budget.
50:19Is there a...
50:20No problem.
50:20We don't care about a good car.
50:22We have cheap.
50:24No.
50:24No.
50:26Finish.
50:26Low, low, low.
50:27No.
50:27Finish.
50:28Okay.
50:29Give me one minute.
50:30Okay.
50:32It's a killer on the budget.
50:35But we are last.
50:37We need to catch up.
50:38If you're happy with spending it, then that's fine.
50:41Yeah?
50:42We go to Zamin?
50:43Yeah?
50:43Okay.
50:44It's very clean glass, to be fair.
50:47Oh, God.
50:48It's gorgeous in here.
50:50As Katie and Harrison, as well as Andrew and Molly, plot a route east through Uzbekistan.
50:56The priority for today is to cross the border into Uzbekistan.
51:00The two teams in Kazakhstan are ready to approach from the north.
51:03I feel like tax is quickest for sure.
51:06I think we should just try and flag one down here.
51:09Once across the border, it's a final push to Zamin as the routes converge and the pack comes together.
51:17We're going to Uzbekistan.
51:19We're going to Uzbekistan.
51:20Fasten your seatbelt.
51:21We'll be in checkpoints in no time.
51:25Wrong way, bro.
51:27He's taking a wrong turn.
51:28He's being told to make a U-turn, but he keeps thinking that he's smarter.
51:33Uzbekistan, this way.
51:36He doesn't know he's gone.
51:38He doesn't know he's gone.
51:38Oh, my days.
51:39I presume he knows that there is better than border.
51:47It should be fine.
51:52We'll get there.
51:53Don't stress.
52:03High in the mountains on Uzbekistan's eastern edge, the fifth checkpoint.
52:09Zamin.
52:13Very dramatic, isn't it?
52:14You like a national park, don't you?
52:16Oh, I do.
52:17Sort of Uzbekistan version of Wales.
52:20Poised and ready to go, the national park opens and the teams embark on the final push-by taxi.
52:28This is the bit that I love, but it also stresses me out.
52:31I can't wait to get going.
52:33Get me out of this taxi and ready to run.
52:35Within the Zamin Mountains, the Sufa Plateau, known for its distinct flat high plains and cool, thin mountain air.
52:50Find the amphitheatre and the way further instructions.
52:54Amphitheatre.
52:58No idea where it could be.
53:01Amphitheatre.
53:02Is it a man-made amphitheatre?
53:05Over there, look.
53:10It looks to be that up there.
53:11That's Sydney Opera House kind of thing.
53:13Zamin Amphitheatre, standing nearly 2,500 metres above sea level.
53:20Need some water for us, eh?
53:24Jesus, it's dry up here.
53:25Yeah, it's rare too.
53:27You okay?
53:28Just a sec.
53:29My legs are wobbly.
53:31The altitude has just killed me.
53:35Keep going.
53:35Doing well.
53:36Don't go too fast, Mark.
53:37I did take my inhaler.
53:38I'm working very slowly.
53:39I might have another go with the inhaler.
53:42I'm in now.
53:44Physical state to run.
53:46Do you want some water?
53:47No, I'm okay with water.
53:48Yeah, the heart's pounding, but we're all right.
53:52Altitude running's not what I'm meant to do.
53:55Ah.
53:56Almost there.
53:58Seating.
53:59Stage.
54:00Yeah, amphitheatre.
54:03Well, an impressive structure.
54:06Travel by cable car to the lower station.
54:11Travel to the cable car!
54:14I love an echo.
54:15Yes.
54:16Where's the cable car?
54:18Cable car.
54:20Oh, wait.
54:21That is a cable car.
54:22Oh, it's over there.
54:23I can see it.
54:23I can see the sea lines down.
54:25Can you?
54:26Yeah, cable car looks to be here.
54:28I think we're getting the wrong way, Margo.
54:30If it's far to go, I'm just going to have to have a rest.
54:33Get in front of all the cute people.
54:34Come on.
54:38Two people.
54:39140,000.
54:40Just keep the picket.
54:43Get on, get on, get on.
54:51Oh, my God.
54:56Oh, look at this.
54:57This is crazy.
54:59Jesus, oh, my God.
55:03Oh, my God.
55:04Oh, my God.
55:06Oh, my God.
55:07Oh, my God.
55:07Oh, my God.
55:07Oh.
55:08This is sick, it's so nice to see a hill.
55:18Where do you think the teams are?
55:20Imagine if they're just in the Cape Carbine.
55:23That would be hilarious.
55:24That would be so good.
55:26Oh my deez.
55:27Wow.
55:30Oh, right.
55:33Find the Checkpoint Hotel and sign in.
55:36Hotel.
55:36Ah, hotel, what's this hotel is?
55:39It's town hotel.
55:40Oh, there's two.
55:43The Checkpoint Hotel is a little bit vague, isn't it?
55:47That looks like a hotel, no?
55:49Let's try it.
55:51I have no idea if that's the Checkpoint Hotel.
55:55Yeah, this looks nice.
56:00Reception?
56:03Better be it.
56:07I don't see a book.
56:11I think it's the wrong hotel.
56:14Welcome to Zemindo Resort.
56:16Please sign in.
56:18I'm 33.
56:20What the hell?
56:22Yes!
56:23What?
56:23We're back.
56:24We're back.
56:26Oh my God.
56:27Oh.
56:28Sign.
56:29No.
56:30Fuck.
56:32I'm so happy to be back in first place.
56:35I think transport lined up really quickly.
56:37Just try and go the direct way through and it worked.
56:40Confidence restored that we are now to race.
56:44Bah!
56:44I'm so happy.
56:46I'm so happy.
56:48Do this.
56:50Oh no.
56:52What?
56:53That is so impressive.
56:55I'm like last to first.
56:57The fact Harrison and Katie got here before us does kind of show that Uzbekistan was the quicker route.
57:04But I'm still not regretting going through Kazakhstan.
57:06We have had the best experiences.
57:09Hopefully we're going to stay consistent near the top and then on the last leg do that little sprint to
57:13the end.
57:15Third.
57:19Third.
57:20Third time being third.
57:21But very pleased about it.
57:22Thought we were not going to do as well as what we did.
57:25Oh Molly.
57:26That was a tough week.
57:27That was very tough.
57:28That was a tough week.
57:29Pure, utter relief.
57:30Journey two to Kiva kind of nearly broke us.
57:33I really struggled this leg and I'm so pleased everything worked.
57:36Yeah.
57:38That's the entrance just there.
57:39Up on top?
57:40Yeah.
57:41I'm not walking any further till you're certain we've got it.
57:43Just going up a fire escape.
57:45Come on up Margot.
57:47Good evening.
57:48Please sign in.
57:50Yes we're fourth.
57:51Well look at that Katie and Harrison are back in the lead again.
57:55Katie and Harrison have had it a lot of times.
57:57Move over.
57:58Let someone share the throne.
58:00It's getting boring.
58:00Boring.
58:01Boring.
58:02We've been fourth before.
58:03We're at four, three, two, one.
58:04We're going forward.
58:05We're choosing better routes.
58:06No more side quests.
58:07No more side quests.
58:08To see horses.
58:09Let's do it.
58:15Margot.
58:16The car coming.
58:17Woo woo woo woo.
58:19Let's go.
58:20Yes let's go.
58:21This leg.
58:22I'm letting Monica go over.
58:23Your daughter.
58:24She did so a great job.
58:26Mark and I are fourth and we've got to race.
58:28This could be a white knuckle ride.
58:31Oh, I'm so stressed.
58:33I hate to see you in such a negative space.
58:36We just can't give up.
58:37Oh my God.
58:38I'm on a horse in Kyrgyzstan.
58:42This isn't real.
58:43I feel like I'm in a painting.
58:49What are you doing man?
58:50What so funny?
59:18We've got a
