00:07SELECTION FOR THE SAS IS CLOAKED IN SECRECY
00:14NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IT IS WE DO
00:18WE'RE THE THINKING SOLDIER
00:28AND THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
00:36AN ELITE TEAM OF EX SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS IS PUTTING 30 CIVILIANS THROUGH THE KEY STAGES OF SELECTION
00:42AT THE END OF THE DAY WOULD I HAVE THIS GUY NEXT TO ME IN A WAR ZONE
00:48EACH TASK TAKEN FROM THE REAL PROCESS
00:51LET'S GET THE DOGS OUT
00:54PHYSICAL FITNESS IS NO MORE THAN A STARTING POINT
01:00THE TRUE TEST IS OF THE MIND
01:03FEAR INNADEQUACY
01:04THE ONLY THING THAT I'M REALLY AFRAID OF IS REJECTION
01:08I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SUCH A THING AS A COMPLETELY WEAK PERSON OR A COMPLETELY STRONG PERSON
01:13AS EACH RECRUIT IS STRIPPED BACK TO THEIR CORE
01:18THERE MIGHT BE STRONG CHARACTERS
01:20FULLY SUBMERGED ZANDER
01:21ONCE WE START UNCHIPPING THEIR ARMOR
01:24WE'LL FIND OUT EXACTLY WHO THEY ARE
01:26FEEL LIKE A BOY IN A MAN'S WORLD
01:29NO OTHER TEST ASKS AS MUCH
01:32WELL DONE
01:33OR MEANS AS MUCH
01:35STILL ALIVE
01:36TO THE FEW WHO MAKE IT THROUGH
01:39I KNOW THIS WORKS
01:41SHOW ME THAT THIS WORKS
01:47THIS WORK
02:04HE'S JUST
02:09HE'S JUST
02:29Every man fears.
02:34It's impossible to have no fear.
02:37I think any time when there's been live rounds pinging past you,
02:41and you hear that right past your ear, and you know it's close.
02:45You're not on a range. It's not playing. It's real.
02:48And these are inches away from you.
02:52Those are times when you're scared.
03:04Get in there now!
03:06Get up!
03:06Get in there!
03:07Get up!
03:08Get in there now!
03:10You have the ability to control things like fear.
03:14Because if you don't control it, that's when it becomes contagious.
03:17Hurry up!
03:19It's day five of the selection.
03:21Twelve recruits are left.
03:24Listen in.
03:26After today, we're on the final 72-hour stage.
03:32For some of you, we will cut the rest of the shit away.
03:39I think you know who you are.
03:45In the last four days, the recruits have been through two key stages of the selection process.
03:50The first revealed their characters.
03:53The second exploited their weaknesses.
03:57For the next 24 hours, Chief Instructor Ant and his team of ex-Special Forces Operators will focus on the
04:04recruits' fears.
04:06Even though we're there as hard, horrible people, we're still there to try and develop people as well, you know,
04:13help them understand themselves.
04:15And, you know, if you see potential in someone, you'll look at ways of enhancing that potential.
04:22They'll start by spreading doubt in the group to see if it's enough to make anyone hand in their armband
04:27and quit.
04:28Go in there and just have a look around and just fucking grab him out, mate.
04:32Just give him a little spill, so...
04:49You're on this fucking course by the skin of your teeth.
04:53Listen carefully to me, OK?
04:55You're only here by the skin of your teeth.
04:57I had a cast in force last night and a cast to keep you in instead of someone else.
05:02We play with our minds to see how they react with it.
05:05If they react weak, then they'll come off the course.
05:07If they react strongly, they'll stay through the next day.
05:10Yeah, there's fucking a few of us that are wanting to cut you.
05:13I understand fully stuff, yes.
05:15Your fucking attitude stinks.
05:18What's that?
05:18Give it to yourself.
05:21He's planting that seed of doubt.
05:23And then if you can see them, they're just like...
05:26And it's a killer.
05:31Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
05:32That scares me.
05:33That scares myself.
05:35That feeling of just like any second now.
05:38It's just the feeling of you're never safe.
05:41Oh, you feel safe.
05:42Don't.
05:43That's what they want.
05:4519-year-old Calvin was almost cut from the course yesterday
05:48for not pushing hard enough.
05:50Everything you've got.
05:51Come on!
05:52But he saved himself on the toughest challenge.
05:56I've always wanted to be in the military.
05:58My earliest memories of my grandfather
06:01is going to see him, you know, in all his military gear
06:04or, you know, whatever it was in bringing home things for me,
06:07like a model aircraft or whatever to play with.
06:17Yeah, it's just so all the labels face the same way.
06:22There's never been any pressure for me to join the military.
06:25There's never been any pressure for me to do anything.
06:27But there's always been the knowledge that whatever I did want to do,
06:31I'd be supported 100%.
06:34For most people, soldiering can be a dream.
06:39But personally, I never actually voluntary went to join the army.
06:43I was forced in by my mother.
06:49So I was dragged down to the careers office.
06:52The guy said,
06:52it's two years waiting list and a year's training.
06:54Mom said, that's far too long.
06:56He's got to be at the house by the time he's 16.
06:58So I joined the infantry two weeks later, aged only 15.
07:08The recruits face a physical endurance test on a nearby beach.
07:14But one of them is going to get special attention.
07:19All of you get in a minibus now.
07:21Yes, sir.
07:23Having been impressed by Calvin's resilience yesterday,
07:27the directing staff want to test his limits today.
07:34You were that close to getting cold yesterday.
07:39That fucking close.
07:40Yes, sir.
07:44Do you want to hear on the fucking skin of your teeth?
07:47I mean that.
07:49Just, there you go.
07:52Once that seed of doubt's sown,
07:55you have to have a strong mind to sort of keep it at bay
07:57and keep it in its box where it belongs
08:00and not let it take charge and rule your mind.
08:07Choose a bomb.
08:10Look up a bomb.
08:30You'll probably think to yourself,
08:32that's it, that's the straw that broke the camel's back.
08:35There's just too much now
08:36and I can't regain from this
08:37so I'm going to fail
08:38when actually you're probably not doing as badly
08:40as you thought you were.
08:44Out in front of you.
08:46Hold it there.
08:49Bow the DS and back to me.
08:51Let's go.
08:52Self-doubt can become quite overpowering
08:54because you can become your own worst enemy.
09:13You can't give up at this stage, you know,
09:15it will fuck you up
09:17if you've decided to give up now,
09:18you'd regret it.
09:20Number 23.
09:22I'm going to give you one more chance
09:23to come and pick this back up.
09:25Do you want it?
09:31Get back in there.
09:34What am I scared of?
09:36Failure.
09:38I would say
09:40I hate it.
09:41I've done it.
09:42I've failed in a lot of things in life
09:44but it's the one thing I'm not keen on.
09:49Everyone's ready.
09:56It's the biggest fear I have.
10:08What happened to you today?
10:09You were right on the edge.
10:11Didn't you add your fucking number in?
10:12You didn't come back.
10:13Earlier.
10:13Yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:14So you gave it to him,
10:16turned around,
10:16walking away.
10:17What do you think of that point on me?
10:19I didn't...
10:19I wasn't...
10:20I was literally...
10:21In my head was just get to the minibus.
10:24That was all I had in my head
10:25was just walk to the minibus.
10:27I just didn't care.
10:29Twenty-three.
10:32Twenty-three.
11:05You're tired.
11:06I'm tired of stuff.
11:10I'm pushing to be as far as I can in this course.
11:14I don't think you are.
11:16Can I ask why you think that's stuff?
11:17Because I don't think that you're pushing yourself
11:19physically or mentally.
11:21You do not try hard enough.
11:23You can do a lot more than you're doing now.
11:25I know that for a fact.
11:29So what's letting you down now?
11:36Um...
11:38I don't know, stuff.
11:40Can you remember this morning?
11:42Can you remember handing me your number?
11:45Yes, stuff.
11:46Why did you hand it to me in the first place?
11:51Just a complete, um,
11:55lapse of, uh,
11:58self-trust, I think.
12:03God!
12:05God!
12:06God!
12:07Here's Aberdeen!
12:07No!
12:33You spent most of the course
12:35culling the physically weak and now he's moving on moving on to the mentor so we need to make
12:40sure that we're switched on i think i mean it's impossible to really anticipate what they're going
12:48to do the 12 remaining recruits are split into groups one goes to the far side of the base with
12:57ollie and foxy the other remains with chief instructor ant number three if you had to pick
13:08the two weakest members in this team who would it be 27 and 26 staff same question to number eight
13:2427 26 staff same question number five five 27 26 staff
13:36i just went to a secondary school that was an all-boys school i definitely had people
13:40repeatedly trying to get me and make my life hell and successfully doing so
13:50follow me i think people are always calling me gay
13:55i just sort of one day was just like yeah i am start banging them out let's go
14:01and because i was the only one that was out in a school of say a thousand there was this
14:06one guy
14:06who just really really went for me the whole time he had a little knife and he was like flashing
14:12it at
14:12me and just things like i'd be in class and he's like i'm gonna get you on on the way
14:16to next class
14:17like just like i'm gonna stamp on your head and stuff like that it's like just instilling like so much
14:24fear
14:29but um i think you've just got to keep a level head um not take things personally
14:36um yeah number 26 stay there number 27 come here now that they're down to the recruits they think
14:44are strong the ds use more extreme tactics to push them even further
14:54move faster you sound like a computer is that what you are your computer are you that's what you
15:00sound like move faster you heard him when we start throwing in the mind games getting
15:09them out of their comfort zones you will see a lot of people break hurry up
15:22find a chink within their character that we can exploit it's being able to cope with the mental
15:28strains along with the physical fitness i cannot take stragglers forward with me
15:38do you understand why don't you remove me from the support if you why are you asking
15:44questions are you the course instructor now all of a sudden are you are you the
15:48course instructor do you want to take my place do you no stuff no because you can't keep your mouth
15:53shut you came into my world i did not come into your world if you don't want to be here
15:58in my
15:59world then off do that make sense i do want to be here so okay but why are you giving
16:04me orders then
16:05i'm not stuff you just did you just told me why don't i take you off the course are you
16:11calling me a
16:20i'm not someone that will be easily beaten down one two three four five facing that way
16:29what's wrong number 27 why are you crying stand here put your bergens down
16:36look at the chief instructor who thinks he can take my place ant brings the group deep into the
16:43surrounding woods to a partially submerged tunnel when i say go you'll lead from the front down
16:52through the water into the tunnel as a team you will move through the tunnel 27 you'll lead this go
17:02come on boys the recruits haven't been told what their final objective is
17:07or what's at the end of the tunnel
17:24pretty much every time you go out to do your job you're working behind enemy lines
17:28there's obviously fear you know because you're going into hostile environments where you you're
17:33literally going into areas where people want to kill you your mind's running at a thousand miles an hour
17:43ah you're never too sure what's going to happen so that anticipation in itself is going to breed fear of
17:50the unknown
18:15you're going to have to come to the end and turn around here
18:23you're going to have to come to the end and turn around here
18:28what's for any sf operator you have to be used to the situation won't change it's not a fact of
18:33well this is shit this wasn't supposed to happen it's okay this has happened now let's deal with it
18:37and get on with the mission
18:52the tunnel wasn't the real test
19:04the real test is how the recruits cope with being kidnapped
19:38get up
19:39This is all about losing control and that shock of capture
19:43when suddenly you find yourself in one environment
19:45and now you're completely at the mercy of someone else.
19:52Not having control is petrifying, absolutely petrifying,
19:56and I can remember it being done to me.
20:02If you haven't been kidnapped before,
20:04even if you know that it's a training exercise,
20:06it's still very scary.
20:20If you don't compose yourself, if you don't get a grip of yourself,
20:24then you can go haywire, you can completely lose a plot
20:27and that's when everything goes to shit.
20:52It's easy to say you should remain calm,
20:54but what you should do is try and take in as much information
20:57of what's going on around you as possible.
21:05Situation awareness. What am I treading on?
21:07Is it hard ground or is it gravel?
21:10How many men were there?
21:11What did the guys sound like?
21:13What kind of weapons did they have?
21:20The DS simulate a violent beating
21:23with Colin in the role of victim.
21:31My own personal background, coming from, like, a broken home,
21:34some of the beatings I had as a young kid,
21:37those type of things can, from a very early age,
21:42build a mental robustness.
21:57I think my upbringing helped in a lot of ways in selection.
22:02You know, when I was cold, wet and hungry,
22:04it wasn't somewhere I hadn't been before.
22:07When I was rough and thrown about,
22:09I'd been there before, I knew how it felt.
22:11I was comfortable in it without, you know, having to enjoy it.
22:15It was somewhere, it was a place I'd been before.
22:27I've surprised people in the past about my tolerance for pain.
22:33I know that, like, people are going to be trying to whittle me down,
22:36trying to expose my weaknesses.
22:39But I have the attitude of, fuck it, and carry on.
22:44So, no matter what you face, you just go, fuck it.
22:48Let's go.
22:52At the time, it doesn't really make sense
22:55until you're actually out in a theatre of operation.
22:59And you think, ah, that's why they do that.
23:09My lower back is fucked.
23:14But enduring the kidnap is not the end of the test.
23:17Man, that'll be painful.
23:19For one of the weaker recruits.
23:35Twenty-six.
23:37I'm going to give you the first question.
23:39How many men captured you?
23:43How many men?
23:45Four.
23:45Okay.
23:47How many grenades went off?
23:50Two.
23:51How many vehicles were there?
23:53One.
23:54How many right turns did you make?
24:08Six right turns.
24:11Fuck it.
24:11That's not even fucking close.
24:13Some of the others were close.
24:13That's not even fucking close.
24:17Name me three people on the course weaker than you.
24:24Number 27.
24:27One.
24:31It's fucking hard, isn't it?
24:33Uh, there's, uh, Matthew.
24:36Matthew's number 30.
24:38Be good than you?
24:42Um, a third one.
24:47Yeah, there was two there.
24:48We didn't have a third.
24:50He's a third.
24:51Oh, right.
24:53So basically, he's admitting he's fucking gone.
24:56Guard.
25:09A comedian, like I say, for stand-up, for thinking on your feet, for fucking being clever with words.
25:15This is one area where he could actually be quite strong.
25:18But under pressure, fucking hell.
25:20Fucking one wagon, there was fucking six right turns.
25:24What the fuck?
25:25How many right turns, you reckon?
25:28When we're thrown in the car?
25:30Well, we were all in the same car.
25:33Oh, there was two cars, I think, yeah.
25:36Yeah.
25:48Everyone get in your PT rig.
25:50Get Phelan outside on the black line.
25:53Fucking, fucking move it.
25:55Now.
26:00It's nearing the end of day five.
26:03The recruits have been physically and mentally pushed since 2 a.m.
26:09and now face another physical thrashing.
26:13They have no idea when it will end.
26:18Can you not run?
26:20Number 27, come here.
26:21Can you not run?
26:23No, Steph.
26:23You physically cannot run?
26:25No, Steph.
26:26What's wrong with you?
26:26My Achilles is fucked.
26:31You will just do the exercise up and down, okay?
26:37I don't believe it's loafing.
26:40No, I don't.
26:41No, no, no.
26:42You won't.
26:43No, no, but I don't believe those injuries are bad.
26:47Pardon me.
26:48Mm-hmm.
26:50It is hard to define within a few words what it is you're looking for,
26:54but it is definitely people that have got the mental ability
26:57to sort of push themselves even when they are absolutely knackered.
27:01When you're in the field and you're sort of drained,
27:04it can be scary,
27:06but I think you learn to sort of slow everything down a little bit.
27:08You temper everything to what you're capable of at that moment in time.
27:12Straight to press-ups.
27:14Come on, up.
27:23I haven't got my heart set on being the first person across the line.
27:27For me, it'll just be...
27:28It'll be more about just finishing.
27:36I think I used to be more competitive.
27:40Now I'm more, like, self-assured
27:43and I'm OK with not being the winner.
27:45I don't need to be the winner.
27:46I just need to do the best that I can do.
27:59Come on, waddle in.
28:02Get down and waddle in like a proper duck.
28:07Quack, quack, quack.
28:10Along with Anthony, Mick was singled out as weak by his fellow recruits.
28:16I'm not a quitter.
28:18Even with the drinking, you know,
28:19I don't say I quit drinking, I retired.
28:27And people are like,
28:29you've just replaced the drinking with running.
28:31You know, what are you running from?
28:33You running from yourself?
28:34I'm like, yeah.
28:36It's the closest thing to, uh,
28:39smashing yourself up with drugs and booze, I guess.
28:43It's easier for you to give me your armband.
28:47Sir.
28:48No stuff.
28:49Yeah.
28:49Get waddle in.
28:51I want to be alive.
28:53I want to feel.
29:03After an hour,
29:04most of the recruits are allowed back to the dorm.
29:10But the DS continued to focus on Anthony and Mick.
29:17In a combat situation,
29:18you're not going to get someone there to motivate you to push through to the end.
29:21We want self-motivated people.
29:23It's your own motivation that will get you through the course.
29:26It's yourself that will fail you.
29:3927, come here.
29:40Yes, sir.
29:45What you would do,
29:46you would go back and get changed into your combat rig.
29:50Okay?
29:51Yes, sir.
29:51You would eat some food.
29:53Is that understood?
29:54Yes, sir.
29:55And you would await the next detail.
29:57Yes, sir.
29:57Sorry, sir. Is that understood?
29:59Yes, sir. Off you trot.
30:00Thank you, sir.
30:04Oh, mate.
30:09How are you feeling, bud?
30:11Soldiering on.
30:22Ah! Jesus fucking Christ!
30:25Look at the state of...
30:26I can tell you, he's lost the plot a bit today.
30:31He's lost it, eh?
30:33Yeah.
30:34Physically, he's all there.
30:36But, you know, he just lets himself down.
30:40He's done really well, though, because he's a very soft and gentle lad.
30:43He's done really well.
30:44Yeah.
30:51He's done really well.
30:56That's me.
30:57Stand against the shots.
30:58Kneel down.
30:59Hands behind you, bud.
31:02Now that he's made it through the day,
31:04the DS want to find out more about recruit number 27.
31:09Anthony.
31:2827, I can't quite put my finger on you.
31:30You see, like, you lack a bit of confidence.
31:34Would I be correct in saying that?
31:35No.
31:36I'm wrong.
31:37Yes.
31:37So, you're quite an outgoing person, aren't you?
31:41Not necessarily outgoing, but quietly confident.
31:45You're quietly confident.
31:49Have you got any hobbies?
31:51My work is my hobby now.
31:53And your work is?
31:55I'm a professional dancer.
31:57Professional dancer, eh?
31:59Would you like to dance?
32:01What type of dance?
32:05I've been trained in ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, everything, really.
32:09Ballet.
32:11What made you get into ballet?
32:14What made me get into ballet?
32:18I got kicked out of school.
32:20And that was an opportunity for me to actually think about what I was passionate about.
32:25You know, I got kicked out of school.
32:27I didn't go and fucking jump in a leotard and throw myself in the fucking splits, you know?
32:35God!
32:36Get there.
32:53Since day one, the DS have maintained a distance from the recruits, but they're about to change
33:00their tactics.
33:01Everyone out here?
33:03Oh, banoffee pie.
33:05Come on, then.
33:06Come and get it.
33:07Pudding, lads.
33:09Everyone out here, pudding out here now.
33:11It's just your soul and edge.
33:12You just suspect everything, don't you?
33:15Even when they're nice, it fucks with your head.
33:18It's like, why are you being nice?
33:19Stop being nice.
33:22All right, we'll be going in as a small step, so I'll let you know when to step.
33:25The DS want to see if the change in their attitude will lead to any recruits letting their guard
33:31down.
33:33Pull your chair closer if you want.
33:35This is not an interrogation.
33:37This is not an interview.
33:39This is nothing more than a chat, okay?
33:42It's not a trick or anything like that.
33:45It's us.
33:46Two bags.
33:47Mike.
33:49You all right?
33:51Yeah.
33:51What are you doing?
33:52Just taking in my surroundings, just in case.
33:55Do you want any of this?
33:57Help yourself.
34:00You surprise me.
34:02I can't help it.
34:03I just love chocolate.
34:05Can I go for the fruit?
34:06Yes, you can.
34:08A healthy option.
34:10More sustained energy.
34:14Do you want any of this?
34:15No stuff.
34:18I'm going to offer you the chance to make a phone call.
34:20Where?
34:21Only a couple of minutes just to say hello.
34:23I've got you next of kin.
34:27We put them into a friendly environment and see whether they would actually be tempted
34:33to make that call home.
34:34Because doing that will trigger so many emotions that could mean you lose determination to continue
34:41on the course.
34:42I'm going to offer you a two-minute phone call with him.
34:45Okay.
34:46Okay?
34:47Definitely know what it's like, you know, missing your girlfriend, your families, all that kind
34:51of stuff.
34:51I will give you the opportunity to give Natasha a call.
34:57We're human beings, you know, we think about families, we think about loved ones.
35:02We're not fearless in the sense that we don't have those emotions built in.
35:07Are you close to your mum?
35:08Yeah.
35:10It's just how we deal with them that gives us the best chance.
35:14Hello, can you hear me?
35:16It's John.
35:19I wanted you to know that I'm all okay and that I've got about 48 hours left.
35:25But yeah, I'm really, really enjoying it.
35:28Okay, bye.
35:30The right move is not to make the phone call.
35:32It triggers emotions in you that really should be left at home.
35:37I'm going to have to take it outside because I can't get a signal in here.
35:40Then you can speak to her.
35:46No, Steph, that would make it too easy to quit.
35:50To quit?
35:51Mm.
35:52What do you mean?
35:53Well, if I talk to her, it would remind me of comforts at home and everything to get
35:57tough on the next.
35:59Every many hours, easier to go.
36:27The 12 remaining recruits now face one.
36:31It's one of the most intimidating tests on special forces selection.
36:46I feel like I'm strong, but until I've actually had something that I can't conquer, I don't
36:52really know what my limitations are.
36:54Watch your footing when you come up here.
37:07This dive is about confidence.
37:10You've come to the edge of the board, you're trying around,
37:16put your heels on the end, OK?
37:19And then you will simply fall backwards.
37:21Oh, my God, right.
37:26Oh, I'm fucking sorry.
37:27Are you fucking serious?
37:29I was in Afghanistan.
37:34Every time I was going through that door,
37:37that fear just drove me through that door
37:39because it made me focus even more,
37:42that fear of knowing that I'm in such a vulnerable and dangerous situation.
37:47Everyone thinks fear is negative.
37:49You know, that fear is needed.
37:51It keeps you alive.
37:5323, off the go.
37:55But you can't be seen to show that fear.
37:59Look forward.
38:01First to attempt the drop is 19-year-old Calvin.
38:15Again, gentlemen, if you do not pay attention to detail,
38:18you will hurt yourself.
38:39Next up, recruit 22, Mick.
38:53I did not ask you to do a backwood somersault.
38:58Recruit number 26, student Kane, starts panicking.
39:03What do you do?
39:04Just think about what you're doing first.
39:06All that stuff.
39:07You can go over there and have a look.
39:09OK, I'm still off the hook.
39:10It's not.
39:11I'm sorry.
39:12OK, thank you, sir.
39:13Right, get your warm kit out of there.
39:15Put your warm kit on.
39:16He quits the course.
39:20When you're dealing with people in the field
39:22that are totally engulfed with fear,
39:25it's a really difficult thing to try and snap them out of now.
39:29And you need to remain calm
39:31and not let the situation get a grip of you.
39:33Let me start.
39:35Oh, fuck.
39:35Let me start.
40:01Let me start.
40:09You haven't come this far to quit now, have you?
40:12You know, my stuff.
40:13This is where this kicks in.
40:16I know this works.
40:18Show me that this works.
40:19Is that understood, your stuff?
40:31You're fucking knees straight.
40:34Go on, Antony.
40:35Go on, Antony.
40:35You got this.
40:36Keep quiet.
40:56Look at me.
40:57Look at me.
41:00Look at me.
41:02and just simply drop backwards, like I showed you.
41:15Get some balls about you.
41:20You can have a whole team go down
41:24because you can't fucking grab your balls in your hands
41:27and do what's up.
41:40Good!
41:41Next man!
41:55Good work. Get out.
42:01I'm through.
42:05Yeah, that's it.
42:07That's it, that's it.
42:08Turn around then.
42:17I'm okay now.
42:19I've got the rest. I've got it.
42:20You do sort yourself out, mate.
42:22Thank you so much.
42:26Good morning.
42:28Good morning.
42:37Good morning.
42:40Good morning.
42:43Good morning.
42:53Good morning.
42:56Good morning.
43:08Good morning.
43:12Listen in. Form up here in the assembly area.
43:16The recruits have now completed the first three stages of the course
43:20and are expecting the DS to cut some of them tonight.
43:26It's very clear to us that the majority of you are struggling mentally
43:33because the stronger members amongst you are crumbling
43:39and the weaker members amongst you, so far behind, it's unreal.
43:45It's only going to get harder, physically and mentally.
43:54And tomorrow morning, we will find out who moves forward and who doesn't.
44:00No-one is safe at this stage. Is that understood?
44:04Yes, sir.
44:05Yes, sir. Away you go.
44:19Ant wants the recruits to have an uncomfortable night's sleep
44:23while he is deciding the final six.
44:33To help him narrow down the field and make the decision,
44:39he has one final mind game up his sleeve.
44:48Since day one, recruit 15 has kept a deliberately low profile.
45:11Number 15.
45:25The DS have had a man on the inside since the beginning,
45:30ex-Marine Ross.
45:33He's basically that far from breaking.
45:35Was he?
45:36They know they're both probably the weakest pair now.
45:38Yeah.
45:39And they know both like that, yeah, it's like next time I'm out of it.
45:43And tomorrow they'll use their mole to tempt the recruits into withdrawing.
45:48As long as he's not last, or he's not struggling the most, he won't quit.
45:52Let's see. Let's see how he gets on tomorrow.
45:55Let's get the dogs out!
45:57Next time.
45:59There will be a hunter force which is out looking for you.
46:03The longer you can evade capture,
46:05the less time you will spend in captivity,
46:08and therefore, in interrogation.
46:12I'm trying to really don't have any bats.
46:14Come as far in.
46:16We're a team man, right? That's all it is.
46:18Yeah.
46:19Behind enemy lines.
46:20You're there for the guy that stood either side of you.
46:25Get the truth about the qualities the SAS requires
46:28from the men who've lived it for real.
46:30Check out our exclusive shorts right now on all four.
46:34The police are getting closer to cracking the case next.
46:37Fargo, coming up.
46:38Bye.
46:39Goodbye.
46:41Bye.
46:44Bye.
46:49Bye.
46:54Bye.
46:55Bye.
