00:13Mongolia, the eighth and final country of the race.
00:17Vast, remote, and unforgiving.
00:26This is now more than a competition.
00:29It's an expedition across endless steppe, over frozen peaks, and deep into the unknown.
00:39Mongolian temperatures can plunge beneath minus 20,
00:43and its biting winds and isolation could test every decision
00:47and every ounce of resilience the teams have left.
00:52In the far west, in the shadow of the Altai Mountains,
00:57there are few roads, and even fewer large towns,
01:01only scattered settlements separated by hundreds of miles.
01:08At the edge of this frontier lies Olgi, where all four teams have landed,
01:16unable to continue their race through China.
01:18Let's go.
01:21Ooh, I feel a cold.
01:23But this remote outpost brings a new kind of challenge.
01:27Right, we're going to...
01:30...carcouring.
01:32Carcouring?
01:33Oh, hold on, hold on.
01:35On many international maps of Mongolia, the roads are not accurate.
01:40Shit.
01:42So that means that this map will not be accurate.
01:44In fact, we've got to trust people's words more than the map.
01:48With outdated maps, and paved roads that dissolve into unmarked dirt tracks,
01:54teams must travel boldly as they venture into central Mongolia
01:58to the penultimate checkpoint.
02:03Harhorin, once an imperial capital under the sun of Cenghis Khan,
02:08its ruins and sacred monasteries stand as a reminder of the country's powerful past
02:13as the largest contiguous land empire.
02:20First to make their move, race leaders Joe and Kush.
02:24Let's go, let's go, let's go. Bye-bye.
02:27Can't lie, though. That looks sick.
02:31And it is just absolutely beautiful.
02:34It's genuinely like Narnia.
02:36Literally, Kyrgyzstan, what's steroids?
02:40I can't wait to try and explain this one to me, Mum.
02:58How much for two? Cheapest room?
03:02£120,000.
03:05Utilising their 14-hour leave, Joe and Kush have taxied to the closest provincial capital, Hovd.
03:13Hey, this is sad.
03:14We've got a kettle.
03:16A cup of tea, the salt.
03:17That's what we need.
03:18Mongolia, day one, flying down snow-capped hills.
03:22It was just, it was mental.
03:25Temperature was a big surprise.
03:26It's just baltic.
03:28It's like through your jacket, into your bones.
03:31My legs don't normally get cold, but I can feel it through my kex.
03:34All right, so let's have a look on the mat.
03:36There is car-couring.
03:37That looks to be a fair distance.
03:40Yeah.
03:40And so it'll take quite a length of time.
03:43And also, that's quite off-road.
03:45That's going to be so sick.
03:47That's boss.
03:48Teams face a 1,550-kilometre journey to Harhoran,
03:54across a country where public transport is scarce.
03:58To make progress, they'll need to rely on car shares, taxis and hitchhiking.
04:04But lifts aren't necessarily free.
04:07Local drivers expect payment.
04:08And with fuel prices rising, every mile comes at a higher cost.
04:15Teams could head north via the city of Wulangong,
04:18to pick up the paved road east.
04:22Or go south, following an established route skirting the Gobi Desert.
04:29Whichever path they choose, parts of the journey will take them off-road
04:33across unmapped trails and landscapes few tourists travel.
04:40Wulangong seems like the biggest city around.
04:42So there should be best transport knickers.
04:44Choosing to go up north, we have that highway that covers
04:48pretty much the entire distance.
04:50That might be our only opportunity to get public transport,
04:53which will save money.
04:54So we go to Wulangong and then do a little homestay,
04:56stay in the yard.
04:56That'll be good.
04:57Hoping to preserve cash for the final leg,
05:00the boys will head north in search of a free homestay,
05:04planning to pick up local buses between towns as they head east.
05:08If you can see the finish line, it's not far away now.
05:11Everyone wants to be first,
05:12but you only really want to be first on the last leg.
05:15And so getting to this point now,
05:16it does feel like there's a little bit of sort of pressure.
05:19Because we are so close to the finish line,
05:22it's like all on our own.
05:23Like, we can't afford to make any mistakes.
05:36So I'll get out of the map.
05:38Ulgi?
05:39Mm-hmm.
05:40All the way to the car car.
05:42That is quite a journey.
05:45Wow.
05:45Back in Ulgi Airport,
05:47teams are released in the order they arrived
05:50into the last checkpoint of Almaty.
05:52In second place and ready to depart,
05:55Mark and Margo.
05:56It seems from Ulgi,
05:58we could actually go north,
05:59up to Oulangom.
06:01But I think it swings and roundabouts,
06:02which way you go.
06:03Do you?
06:03It's a bit of punch in the dark, isn't it?
06:05It is.
06:05Yeah.
06:06I'd say in a girl.
06:07Yeah.
06:08I'd love that, yeah.
06:09We've got to make some ground up to catch up with them.
06:11That's going to be tough, I think.
06:12It's not impossible, though.
06:14We are behind the boys by quite a stretch.
06:16Let's go.
06:17Our strategy is to try and catch up
06:20in whatever way we can,
06:21but we've no idea what it's going to cost in Mongolia,
06:24so we want to protect our budgets
06:25before the final leg.
06:26Let's go.
06:30Right.
06:31No.
06:36We just need to get going.
06:38Yeah.
06:38This is the worst part.
06:39I look forward to just sitting here
06:41and doing nothing
06:42and thinking of the other teams
06:46gaining advantage.
06:48I love your positive attitude.
06:50You're welcome.
06:58Margot!
06:59What?
07:00What do you sign up?
07:01I smiled last time I made them stop.
07:07Are you going here?
07:09Coughed?
07:09No.
07:10No.
07:11OK, thank you.
07:13In Algy town,
07:15Mark and Margot tread the same path
07:17as Joe and Cush,
07:19having to travel south to Houghed
07:21before heading north
07:23via a homestay in Niengad.
07:26Hello.
07:27We need to go to Comte.
07:28Comte.
07:29Can you take us there?
07:30No.
07:31250?
07:32No, no, too much.
07:34Too much.
07:34No, no, thank you.
07:35Do you go to Comte?
07:36It's going to cost 250,000 books.
07:39Whoa!
07:40No, it's too expensive for us.
07:42Sorry.
07:42Thank you very much.
07:44We are a bit stuck at the moment.
07:47People are stopping
07:48who actually just want to hire themselves out
07:50as a private hire
07:51and they just want too much money.
07:53We thought Tugging and Margot
07:54would be cheaper,
07:55wouldn't we, Margot?
07:56Where's my credit card?
07:58Yeah.
07:59On the penultimate leg,
08:01budgets are now running low.
08:03Three teams have around 20% remaining.
08:06Every bit of cash counts
08:08and every ride must be fought for.
08:12200,000.
08:13No, we only have little money.
08:15120?
08:16120, yeah.
08:18150.
08:19I think 150 should just take it.
08:21OK.
08:21Yeah, yeah.
08:23We're on the move.
08:24Welcome to Longolia.
08:26You're going to have to pay through the nose.
08:27I'm sure it's going to get easier
08:29on the busy areas, isn't it?
08:31If it doesn't,
08:32our budget is done.
08:34We're cooked, Mark.
08:36We're cooked.
08:39As Mark and Margot
08:40make their way to Hovd...
08:43We need to get to Ulanqob
08:45to see those, really.
08:46I know.
08:46Joe and Kush are already
08:47looking for a way out.
08:49Sharing a minibus,
08:50it'll be cheaper.
08:52As-salamu alaykum.
08:52You drive?
08:53Yeah.
08:54Ulanqob.
08:57Thank you, my friend.
08:58We paid for 10-seater van.
09:01But we are waiting for it to fill up.
09:02I don't know how long that'll take,
09:04but hopefully not too long.
09:06Let's see if we can get him to just go.
09:09Oh, I need to be faster.
09:12It is vital to save money,
09:14but it depends.
09:16We have to be time conscious.
09:17We need fast.
09:18If it does take six hours
09:20for this van to fill up,
09:22we might as well grab a taxi.
09:24Go.
09:25No.
09:26Go.
09:26No.
09:27He's saying it'll go.
09:28We're sorted.
09:30Go.
09:33There's a lot of pressure now
09:34that all the other teams
09:34are being released today.
09:35We've just got to try
09:36and maintain our position.
09:38We've done all the planning yesterday.
09:40We've got a plan.
09:41We know where we're going.
09:42The boys are pushing north
09:43to reach a homestay
09:45that will position them close
09:46to the Hiregas Highway
09:47that runs directly
09:49towards the checkpoint.
09:50But they must first navigate
09:52250 kilometres
09:54of unforgiving off-road tracks.
09:57You've got to be joking.
09:58Sick.
09:59You have got to be joking.
10:01Whoa!
10:04We've been driving
10:05on a normal, regular road
10:08and suddenly it's taking us
10:10on a little shortcut across it
10:12as it's a help of the shortcut
10:14because this is...
10:16absolute hell.
10:19Oh!
10:22Oh, God.
10:32I mean, the van did take some hits.
10:35We were definitely, like, airborne
10:37for five seconds at one point.
10:42Who knows?
10:43This could be five minutes
10:45or an hour.
10:47Oh!
10:49We are absolutely in
10:50the absolute middle of an hour.
10:52Like, this is absurd.
10:53Could have been years
10:54since someone's actually stepped
10:56exactly where we are now
10:57because there is nothing here
10:59and, I mean, nothing...
11:01I can't even see a single animal inside.
11:02It's just empty.
11:07Oh, I feel safe.
11:10With the boys at a standstill...
11:15I love how flat it is
11:17into, like, absolute mountains.
11:19I can't see a sign.
11:20Andrew and Molly are ready to race.
11:24How long?
11:25One hour?
11:26One hour?
11:26Two hours?
11:27Twelve?
11:28Mm-hmm.
11:29Or one?
11:32Thirteen, man.
11:33OK, OK.
11:36Setting off in third place,
11:38the pair are straight on the road
11:40to Altan Thiel
11:41in a local car share.
11:44So, we are going to do
11:45a homestay tonight.
11:46But it's getting distance
11:47covered now, early.
11:48We're on the main road.
11:49Yes.
11:50South.
11:50But I do think today
11:51we need to make sure
11:52we're in position for tomorrow.
11:54Yes.
11:54And the day after.
11:55And that's why, Molly,
11:56we need to spend the money
11:56and just get it done.
11:57Yeah.
11:58A hundred percent.
11:59The first team
12:00opting to head south,
12:02the aim to gain ground
12:04and spend big.
12:06We need speed.
12:07We've been in third
12:08or fourth continually
12:09and we would like
12:10to climb up the leaderboard
12:11and get competitive
12:12for the last leg.
12:14We've got the money
12:15to be able to spend
12:16so we need to spend it
12:18and I keep saying
12:19to Molly
12:19there's no point
12:20in being rich losers.
12:21I have said to you
12:21from the very beginning
12:22you only need to win one.
12:23Yes, only need to win one.
12:31I'm really, really excited
12:32for Mongolia.
12:33I mean,
12:33I don't really know
12:34what to expect.
12:35Last to depart.
12:36We're fourth
12:38and we need to catch up.
12:39Katie and Harrison
12:40plot their route
12:41out of Algi.
12:42In terms of racing quick,
12:45mix of north and south
12:46seems like a decent route.
12:48Yeah.
12:49Because we're mixing
12:49the best of the two highways.
12:51Do you know what I mean?
12:52See if we can get on
12:53with transport to Darby.
12:55Their plan,
12:57head south to Darby
12:58before tackling
12:59a shorter off-road section
13:01to join the middle
13:02of the paved northern highway
13:04then push on
13:05to the checkpoint.
13:07We need to get to Darby.
13:09You can go to
13:10Hop City
13:12nearby Darby.
13:13There is a lot of pressure
13:14on this leg.
13:16Mongolia's going to provide
13:17so many different challenges
13:18that we've really not experienced
13:19so far in the race.
13:20The only thing we can take with us
13:21that we've learned
13:22on the race so far
13:23is asking people
13:24and trusting people.
13:25OK, so $30,000, $30,000.
13:28Yes.
13:28Let's go.
13:29The fact that
13:30you cannot rely on the map
13:32is not good for Harrison.
13:34Without his comfort map,
13:35he is nothing.
13:37Let's just hope
13:38he doesn't lose his calculator
13:39and then we'll have to go home.
13:41Will anyone else
13:42be in the taxi?
13:44For one person.
13:44Go with you.
13:45Yes.
13:46OK.
13:50Swell says.
13:52That was very good.
13:55We've finally got
13:56our first journey
13:57in Mongolia
13:57properly underway.
13:59As they head
13:59to their first stop
14:00in Hovd.
14:01We're last
14:02so we need to be quick.
14:0421 hours is what
14:05we've got to catch up.
14:07300 kilometres ahead,
14:09Andrew and Molly
14:10are arriving
14:10into Altantil.
14:13Look where you are.
14:15This is so cool.
14:21Tucked in the valley
14:22of the Batur Harhan mountain
14:23which rises to nearly
14:254,000 metres.
14:27They are sampling
14:28a taste of rural life
14:30with the Bayan monks
14:31at their nomadic encampment.
14:33Hello, hello.
14:34Hello.
14:35What have you just killed?
14:36Cow, right?
14:37OK, wow.
14:38Where the family
14:39are preparing
14:40home-reared livestock
14:41for a feast
14:42in their honour.
14:44Size of the lure.
14:46I expected, like,
14:47to have traditional life
14:48but to actually
14:50be thrown into
14:51them slaughtering
14:52a beast,
14:53it's different
14:54to put it that way.
14:55Just totally surreal.
14:57Not what I expected
14:57in any way whatsoever.
15:01On the steppe,
15:02hospitality is a way
15:04of life.
15:05Strangers are welcomed
15:06with food and shelter,
15:08a tradition shaped
15:09by the harsh realities
15:10of the land.
15:11Made out of felt
15:13and wood,
15:14circular gurs
15:14are a symbol
15:15of nomadic life,
15:17still home
15:17to over a million people,
15:19on the move
15:19or in settled communities
15:21and built to house
15:23entire families.
15:24Wow.
15:25Oh, it's warm.
15:26It's so warm.
15:28Oh, it's lovely and warm.
15:29Oh.
15:30Wow.
15:33Hot, hot.
15:34Hot, hot.
15:34Very hot.
15:36Are you family here?
15:39David, part of that.
15:40Yeah, yeah.
15:41Brothers.
15:41Yeah, brothers.
15:42Oh, brothers.
15:48Mmm.
15:51Nice.
15:54Mmm.
15:55I'm going to eat
15:56a piece of this.
15:58Oh, wow.
16:02Very nice.
16:04I'm doing really well.
16:06Coming from a girl
16:06that can't eat fish fingers
16:07from Tesco's.
16:08Mm-hmm.
16:09Yes.
16:10Oh.
16:11Hello.
16:11Hello.
16:14It's a great evening.
16:16It's kind of just amazing
16:17to see people come and go.
16:20People eat out of the same bowl.
16:23They share everything
16:24and enjoy the family time.
16:27What is it?
16:29I think drink it and find out.
16:31Vodka.
16:32Vodka.
16:33Vodka.
16:33Vodka.
16:34Oh.
16:41It was just lovely
16:42that you never took
16:43from the cup
16:44unless it was offered to you.
16:46And it was all about
16:47the respect for the head
16:48of the household.
16:49There's a community spirit.
16:50Just a lovely thing
16:51to witness tonight.
17:01We love your home.
17:03Beautiful.
17:04Really beautiful.
17:06Also taking shelter
17:07at a local girl,
17:09Mark and Margot
17:10have reached Miengad.
17:13This is like
17:14the ultimate design
17:14for compact living.
17:16It's so cleverly organised.
17:19I don't think
17:20I could do a girl life.
17:21My girl would be
17:22an absolute tip.
17:24Tea.
17:24Mungerjan tea.
17:26Tea is it?
17:27This is different
17:27from any of the tea
17:28we've seen before.
17:29It is, yes.
17:30Guests are welcomed
17:31with sooty tea,
17:32a rich savoury tea blend
17:34of milk and salt
17:35seasoned with
17:36fermented butter oil.
17:38Munger tea.
17:39Yeah.
17:40It is customary
17:41to try any delicacies
17:42offered by your host.
17:44You don't normally
17:45drink tea, do you, Mark?
17:46I don't, no.
17:48Thank you very much.
17:52No.
17:52No.
17:54No mistake.
17:58It's very bitter.
18:00I like...
18:01You like that?
18:02It's good.
18:03I quite like it.
18:04Delicious.
18:04Look at him, delicious.
18:06Good.
18:06It's very good.
18:07Yeah.
18:08The family
18:09that live here
18:10are really, really
18:12joyful.
18:13Do you ever play
18:14Noughts and Crosses?
18:15Do you know this game?
18:17Yes.
18:17Go on.
18:19These two are schoolteachers
18:20and they're living
18:21in a gore
18:22on this site.
18:25This is a nomadic tent
18:27that you're meant
18:28to sort of be able
18:28to take down
18:29and transport
18:30wherever you go.
18:32This is now
18:32a permanent one.
18:34Oh, neither of us
18:35do it again, though.
18:36Neither of us win,
18:37do we?
18:38And they've been it
18:39really homely.
18:40It's fantastic.
18:42Ah!
18:43You win.
18:45So put one to you.
18:49What's this one?
18:50It's just like
18:52a little coal and something.
18:53With their earlier
18:54setback behind them,
18:56after a makeshift repair
18:57to their minibus,
18:59Joe and Kush
18:59have finally made it
19:01to Naranbulag.
19:03What is that?
19:06Oh, bro,
19:06that's a hospital.
19:14It was very resourceful
19:15as well,
19:15using the leftover horse,
19:17excrement,
19:18as a fuel source.
19:20So happy we did this.
19:23I love the boots.
19:25I like your boots.
19:26I'd well wear a pair of them.
19:28Yeah, bro.
19:29The Mongolians are just
19:30the baddest pimps of all.
19:32They're just tons.
19:33Massive fur coats,
19:34eagles,
19:35and knee-high boots.
19:36Tants, tants, tants, tants.
19:39Tants?
19:39Tants, tants.
19:41Shall we?
19:42Mm-hmm.
19:42Tants.
19:43Ja.
19:45Da-bye.
19:45Da-bye.
19:54Their host, Batsend,
19:56has arranged a night
19:57of traditional dance
19:58and music
19:58at the local community hall.
20:01Uh-huh.
20:14Tants, tants, tants, tants, tants, tants, tants.
20:16Just a really mad experience.
20:19I feel very privileged to be in a position to witness it firsthand, you know?
20:26This is so random.
20:28Me and Kush, we both have a very musical family
20:33and a passion for music.
20:36I believe it's such a healthy way of expressing yourself.
20:41I play drums, trombone and a baritone horn.
20:47My dad played guitar his whole life.
20:50That's how I got into it.
20:52I've got my dad to thank for that.
20:54You want to play?
21:16Historically used by male herders to mimic nature,
21:20Mongolian throat singing was brought to the stage in the mid-20th century.
21:29I've been listening to this one Mongolian song for, like, years,
21:32and my dad showed me it back when I was, like, 11, 12.
21:34We started playing this song, yeah.
21:36It was insane.
21:38I could have cried in that moment.
21:48To hear something I've been listening to for seven years,
21:51it's so mind-blowing.
21:53It was just beautiful.
21:56I'm going to cry.
21:57I'm actually going to cry.
22:01I wish I had shown me dad.
22:02He would be, like, on the floor laughing.
22:05It would be hilarious.
22:15Bro!
22:17That's so good.
22:18I can't believe that.
22:20I've heard Mongolian throat singing live.
22:22That was sick.
22:24That was so good.
22:26This is, like, the best thing I've ever done in my entire life.
22:30This guy is so cool.
22:31I don't know how you do that, my friend.
22:33I don't know how you do that.
22:34This is what I was wanting out of Mongolia,
22:36was this kind of, like, experience.
22:40I can't believe it, what's going on today.
22:43I'm so thankful for this experience.
22:45I need ear moths.
22:57My ears are freezing.
22:59Katie and Harrison wake up in the city of Hovd.
23:02No, bring a hat.
23:03Where's your hat? You've got a hat, Dickhead.
23:05She's such an angry person.
23:07You should really try to be just a little bit more calm.
23:13Home to a diverse range of ethnic groups,
23:16including the Erat Mongols,
23:19Kazakh and Uran Hai people,
23:21its population of 30,000 residents
23:24makes it one of the largest settlements in Western Mongolia.
23:29Which way do you want to go?
23:30This way.
23:34Where are you going?
23:36I don't have a clue.
23:40Oh, hang on.
23:42Is that a bus there?
23:43But even the biggest cities
23:45don't have an immediate or obvious way out.
23:48Bus.
23:50That's a bus.
23:51Is it?
23:52He's just showing us his bus.
23:54Er, er, to Darby.
23:56Yes?
23:57I think it's quite difficult here,
23:58just because you just feel like you're stranded constantly.
24:02I found the bus station.
24:03It's a little bit more difficult to find out information,
24:05but it's also more difficult to locate what you're looking for.
24:09People are understanding after Vauxhall,
24:11it's the same they did in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
24:15But in those countries, there's a big grand Soviet building.
24:19It's just a shed.
24:21This is where we need to come back to.
24:23What time?
24:24Half ten?
24:24Ten, yeah. Ten?
24:25Ten, because we can get a ticket,
24:27then we can find somewhere to sit.
24:30As the siblings await a bus to Darby for a homestay...
24:36Good morning, goat.
24:37..in Altantil,
24:39Andrew and Molly wake up in their local stopover.
24:43Look at this Molly.
24:44Oh, shit.
24:45Like, in the middle of nowhere.
24:48Gorgeously peaceful.
24:51Look at that.
24:52It's beautiful.
24:53I love Mongolia.
24:56I didn't want to get out of bed either.
24:59In return for last night's bed and board...
25:02I just go?
25:03I'm OK, yeah?
25:05..they are pitching in with the morning routine.
25:08I've never built a cow like this before.
25:12It's just such an amazing place.
25:14People working the landscape and using what they're being given.
25:17And the morning job is picking up the frozen cow dung.
25:21They use it for fuel.
25:24I think I might be done.
25:27Yes.
25:29She doesn't believe me.
25:31Wow.
25:32It is gorgeous, isn't it?
25:34It's amazing seeing Daddy in Mongolia.
25:37I think he's just loving it.
25:39It's absolutely unreal.
25:41Molly.
25:42I can't see you over the cow.
25:44Are you just moving the...
25:47Dung.
25:47Boy job.
25:48Enjoy.
25:49Good job.
25:51Wakes you up in the morning anyway.
25:53It's really important for Daddy to seize this.
25:57This is his opportunity to prove to himself that he can do it.
26:02Because three years ago my Daddy had a heart attack
26:05and it was probably the worst day of my life.
26:09That really shook me and I think it really shook him.
26:14Daddy realised he wasn't invincible.
26:20The heart attack knocked my confidence.
26:23Over the years it has just caused me a huge amount of stress
26:26and a huge amount of anxiety that I've never been able to kind of fully get rid of.
26:34I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong.
26:38Well, no, we're right.
26:39That's us now.
26:42And it was one of the things I kind of said to Molly,
26:44we need to get through elimination because I need to finish this.
26:47Mongolia has been a pinch me moment that I'm here, I'm standing here.
26:51It's just something that I've always wanted to do.
26:55This is my way of putting a full stop on heart attack
27:01and the ability to say no, it's not going to affect me anymore.
27:06But it's going to give me positives as I make the way journey through life.
27:11I cannot thank this whole journey enough for flicking that switch
27:17and allowing me to move on.
27:21OK, job done.
27:24We need to get into town, get a bus.
27:28Can you drive us in?
27:32Mongolia.
27:33There's only one word for it, it's magical.
27:35It's absolutely magical.
27:38It was just amazing to see him back the way he was.
27:40How excited he is for everything.
27:42So thrilled, so, so thrilled.
27:44Like he's been given the health all clear, but this is mentally the all clear.
27:49Right, away we go.
27:51Go, go, go.
27:55As father and daughter continue south towards Altai,
27:59180 kilometres away in Miengad,
28:01Mark and Margo look for a way to head north.
28:06I think if we left here now, we could get to Oolingham for this evening.
28:10If we go up to Oolingham, we're actually thundering along to the checkpoint.
28:14We are. We need to get moving.
28:15We need to get moving.
28:17So, hello, hello. Where do we want to go to?
28:20Oolingham.
28:21How will we get to Oolingham from here?
28:24Hoth?
28:25We have to go back to Hoth?
28:26We have to go back and then up?
28:29I don't want to go back to Hoth, do you?
28:31No, we might have to though.
28:33She's sending us backwards to go forwards.
28:37How do we get back to Hoth?
28:39Can we get a taxi from here?
28:43No taxi here, no taxi here.
28:44If we go on the road and go...
28:49Let's just do that, that's what we'll have to do, isn't it?
28:52Thank you so much.
28:55Originally, we wanted to shoot straight up from Oolingham, from where we are now.
29:00Come on, let's go.
29:01Our girl host made it clear that's not a possibility.
29:04We have to go back to Hoth.
29:05Very disappointing.
29:06If we want to catch up with the boys, we need to move fast.
29:11I don't want to wave, I want to lift, mate.
29:15Hi.
29:16You go to Hoth?
29:18Yay!
29:21Come on!
29:23So good of you.
29:26Goodbye.
29:27Bye.
29:32Thank you so much.
29:33After a night in Naranbulag...
29:35Let's go.
29:36...Joe and Kush are aiming to catch one of only two daily buses that pass through the town.
29:41An opportunity to travel 450 kilometres to Tosantzenghel.
29:47Oh wait, is that our bus?
29:50Hello.
29:51Hello.
29:54How much?
29:56160,000.
29:57It's leg seven out of eight.
29:59So realistically, we want to be really budget conscious, and so we have backup funds for the final leg.
30:05Shall we haggle?
30:06100,000 for two.
30:07We said 160,000. We're going for 100,000.
30:10That leg is where it's going to be.
30:12That taxi versus that bus will make or break ours, and we want the money to be able to spend
30:17that taxi.
30:18That's okay.
30:19Thank you, my friend.
30:21Thanks, bro.
30:22It was so easy getting on this bus.
30:24Yeah, it was good.
30:25It was so easy.
30:28Bro, I'm gassed at that price. I mean, this place is so bougie for what we paid.
30:31It does feel like first class.
30:32This place is so cool.
30:35That comfy bro's got a bit of a journey.
30:38As the other teams forge on, the in-laws are back where they were 24 hours ago.
30:46Thank you so much.
30:47Thank you so much.
30:48How much money?
30:49What?
30:50You want money?
30:51Yeah, how much?
30:5250,000.
30:53No.
30:54No.
30:54It's not a taxi.
30:5640.
30:57You're saying 40.
31:00Well, there you go.
31:02It's a bit of a shock because...
31:04When they pick you up and then you...
31:05And they don't say anything at the beginning or whatever, but...
31:07This is ridiculous, this is.
31:09With the unexpected fare denting the remaining budget,
31:12they try to find a cheaper way out.
31:15A bus.
31:16Is there a bus?
31:19So not tomorrow.
31:20No.
31:22Saturday.
31:23Saturday.
31:24So there's not another bus till Saturday.
31:31A very bitter pill to swallow.
31:34Keeping your spirits up when you're doing everything you can,
31:38you're making decisions that you think are strategic
31:41and it's just all going wrong, it is crushing.
31:44It does get you down.
31:47You know, tomorrow's another day, but today...
31:53Sunsetting.
31:54It's getting cold.
31:55It's a cheap hotel.
31:57As they bed down...
31:59That's how much money you got left for this leg.
32:0129.
32:01The reality of the delay hits home.
32:06Oh, dear.
32:07With the budget we've got, it's budget over racing, isn't it?
32:11Mm, it is, yeah.
32:12It's coming down to the wire, isn't it?
32:15It's just so expensive, Mongolia,
32:17and our budget has been decimated.
32:20We'll spend two nights in this area.
32:23We only intend to spend one.
32:26We just want to get to the end.
32:27That's what we want to do.
32:31Dumplings.
32:32I want to look like a dumpling after all of these.
32:35340 kilometres east in Darby.
32:38Dumplings, God.
32:40Yeah.
32:41Katie and Harrison have made it to their homestay,
32:44where they are experiencing Mongolian hospitality for the first time.
32:47Thank you so much.
32:49Thank you so much.
32:50That was very nice.
32:52Now let's enjoy the dance.
32:54Let's, yeah.
32:55Maybe we'll finally get to pull, Harrison.
32:58I can't do it in Manchester where there's a couple million people.
33:01What chance have I got in a small village in Mongolia?
33:03Yeah.
33:06Phil?
33:07Harrison, I think the men have got to ask the women to dance.
33:11I'm young, single and available.
33:15Young, single, available and full of dumpling.
33:18What more could you want?
33:24Hello?
33:25Hello?
33:25Hello?
33:26Oh, OK.
33:30Oh, my God, no, this is time.
33:32She's all over the place.
33:34This is too confusing.
33:38There is definitely a routine, and I'm not quite getting it.
33:42I keep popping into it.
33:46How was that?
33:47That was the best experience ever.
33:49Yeah?
33:50I'm an absolute disaster on the dance floor.
33:53Your turn.
33:54That's not happening.
33:55I can't dance.
33:56Harrison, no.
33:57Please.
33:58Harrison, you have to.
33:59Katie, on this trip, I've had to speak to random people,
34:01stay in people's houses.
34:02I have not felt anxiety in my chest like this once.
34:07This is your song.
34:08It's not my song.
34:08OK?
34:10Let's go.
34:11Harrison.
34:11Oh, Mihi.
34:13Oh.
34:13Yes.
34:14OK.
34:15Where's this going?
34:16Same one.
34:18Oh, where are we going?
34:27Oh, God.
34:29This is terrible.
34:34She's smiling at me, and I'm just trying my best.
34:45She's going to go and say that's the most...
34:47The biggest...
34:48The biggest plank I've ever danced with.
34:51To turn up to this village, 80 kilometres off the main road,
34:55there's a Mongolian disco hall as well to go with it.
34:58Full of surprises, this place.
34:59You just don't know what to expect next.
35:01People of all ages having a dance together,
35:04choosing different dance partners, and it's really wholesome.
35:07That is, like, the most uncomfortable situation you could have put me in.
35:11That's what the race is about.
35:12So, just trying to, I suppose, broaden my mind
35:14and better myself a little bit each day.
35:18I can't take the smile off my face.
35:20I'm so glad Harrison did dance.
35:22For a couple of minutes of embarrassment in front of a few people,
35:26he's got, like, a memory for a lifetime.
35:29We're always going to look back and laugh
35:31when we look like the right pair of videos.
35:33Definitely, this is the best memories we've had so far.
35:59Oh, that is chilly.
36:04Joe and Kush have woken up in Tosant Sengal,
36:07a remote Mongolian sum, or rural district,
36:11with under 10,000 residents.
36:14We've got a job from five that we can work in a car.
36:17We're trying to find a bus that leaves after our shift
36:20and it'll get us a checkpoint.
36:21Can you help us get a bus to Karkurin?
36:32Yes, 3am in the morning from Tosant Sengal.
36:40You are amazing.
36:41We've got to basically, well, go to work
36:43and then after that get to checkpoint.
36:45I don't think any team's could have done it faster.
36:48While they wait for their shift...
36:50This one here, yes?
36:51This one.
36:52Okay.
36:52Andrew and Molly are also pushing on towards Half Horan.
36:55We've covered the ground, Molly.
36:58Travelling via Arvai here on a local bus service.
37:02Feeling good, actually. Feeling good.
37:04The dream scenario would be if we could get within
37:06touching distance of the boys within three or four hours.
37:08Hopefully we can get close to them
37:10and put them under pressure.
37:12It'd be majorly impressive.
37:14Fingers crossed.
37:16230 kilometres behind...
37:18Hello.
37:19We want to go to Altai.
37:22Katie and Harrison are trying to reach Altai,
37:25where they plan to head off-road towards the Northern Highway.
37:29After bus, er...
37:31What?
37:32Time?
37:33Two.
37:33Two.
37:35That's way too late.
37:37Yeah.
37:37We would be stuck there tonight.
37:39Right.
37:40So that's the only bus.
37:42Yes.
37:42If we get that bus, we probably wouldn't get to Karkurit's Morim.
37:45And it would mean we could be two days behind teams.
37:49Taxi?
37:51Taxi, no.
37:52No.
37:53I don't know the answer.
37:54I think we need to change our plans.
37:58OK.
37:59So, the bus doesn't stop in Altai.
38:02It goes all the way to Byron-Kongor.
38:04Does it?
38:05Yeah.
38:05So, I think a better route would be to follow this bottom highway through,
38:10end up at Byron-Kongor.
38:11Byron-Kongor.
38:12So we're moving closer to Checkpoint tonight.
38:14Good to get as far as possible.
38:16Yeah.
38:18Katie's new proposal,
38:20continue east on a bus to Byron-Kongor,
38:23putting them within 360 kilometres of the Checkpoint.
38:27We've kind of got a plan.
38:29Katie's very smart.
38:30Really happy that she sort of took the lead
38:32and had the ideas of where to go.
38:34We were 21 hours behind when this work started.
38:38So, important that we do close the gap on Joe and Kush.
38:41We're on the bus.
38:42We're on our way to Byron-Kongor.
38:45I've got no energy.
38:47I'm tired.
38:49This is your route now.
38:51My girl, it's your problem.
38:52Enjoy.
38:53My girl is a pretty big problem to have.
39:00Well, let's go and hitch.
39:01This is a one-horse town, isn't it?
39:04Definitely.
39:06Still in Hoved, where Joe and Kush left two days ago.
39:09I see no one here.
39:11And with no buses north today, budget-strapped Mark and Margo search for a way forward.
39:17Not speaking a language, not having a phone, having to get money.
39:21It is really, really tough.
39:24We're now going into uncharted territory.
39:28Well, now he's going straight past.
39:30We set off with Julia as inspiration for us actually working together on the race.
39:37When we arrived in Mongolia, it really felt so different, so alien.
39:41I couldn't have any sense of Julia here.
39:44Go on, Marg.
39:46They're going in there.
39:47It does feel as though now, we're on our own.
39:50How much you want?
39:53We haven't got that, thank you.
39:55We've only got a little bit of money.
39:56She's looking down upon us and saying, you're on your own now.
39:59It's just you two to find your friendship together.
40:02It's the biggest challenge we've had so far.
40:05But I want us both at the end of the race to stand proud and go, we did it.
40:10Being teammates, being friends.
40:12I'll ask him.
40:14Which is what she wanted.
40:16Are you going to Oulangom?
40:18Are you going there?
40:20Oulangom?
40:21Yeah.
40:21Oulangom.
40:22OK.
40:24Oulangom.
40:26Good to get on the move, Mark, isn't it?
40:28It's very good to be on the move.
40:30I never thought we were leaving.
40:32And we're going back up the same road for the third time.
40:37After retracing their steps north,
40:40the in-laws finally faced the winding dirt track to Oulangom.
40:46Fasten your seatbelts.
40:48You're in for a bumpy ride.
40:49Right, yeah.
40:51Wild.
40:52Give us more.
40:55Across a vast, arid steppe, dotted with salt lakes and roaming herds of goats, camels, yaks and horses,
41:04it transforms to snow in the colder months.
41:07This is made up for the last two days.
41:09Oh, has it, Mark?
41:10It's unbelievable, this.
41:12This is just priceless experience.
41:14Absolutely priceless.
41:16Oh, Margot.
41:18Oh, camels, camels.
41:21Two double-hounds.
41:22Camels.
41:23Can we stop to see the camels?
41:25Whoa.
41:27Wow.
41:28Hello, camel.
41:30Ho-hoo.
41:35Hello.
41:38Hello.
41:39I'm a friendly human.
41:44Oh.
41:46What an amazing place to see them.
41:49It was brilliant.
41:50Camels and snow.
41:52I know.
41:53All at once.
41:55Ah!
41:56Papa.
41:57Papa.
41:58I can't do this.
41:59I can't do this.
42:02Get my mind down!
42:04As Mark and Margot lift their spirits...
42:07Come on!
42:09600 kilometres closer to the checkpoint and toss on Sengol...
42:14Everywhere I step, I leave more of an imprint than there was before I started mopping.
42:18Am I going to do this?
42:19Joe and Kush are coming to the end of their bar shift
42:22before they take their pre-booked bus.
42:24I have to map them backwards.
42:27Yeah, that's the idea.
42:28Hopefully, this shift should pay off our bus tickets.
42:31I think this last leg, it is going to be a taxi race
42:34and we need as much money as we can.
42:37Hello. Hello.
42:39Hi, it's Uz from the bus stop.
42:41Ah.
42:42We were just wondering if there's any way you could find out
42:45the exact time the bus will arrive in Tuncentengel.
42:49The bus will arrive in Tuncentengel at about 2.30am, right?
42:5512.
42:56Actually, according to the timetable,
42:59the bus had to arrive in Tuncentengel after around 3am, OK?
43:05OK.
43:06I think there's been a miscommunication.
43:09There's so much confusion about these bus times.
43:12It's, like, minus 15, so we can't just wait outside
43:14because we need to know exactly when the bus is
43:16so we're not standing in the cold for three hours.
43:19So, I'm going to go to the bus.
43:22I'm going to go to the bus.
43:23I'm going to go to the bus.
43:242am.
43:25Yeah?
43:26Mm-hm.
43:27OK.
43:28No.
43:28If we hadn't called and checked the bus times,
43:31we would have missed it because it's coming in our early.
43:34Thank you so much.
43:35Thank you so much.
43:36Without the phone call, we would have missed it.
43:39Their perseverance paying off.
43:42Just 470 kilometres stand between the best friends
43:45and the seventh checkpoint.
43:52It's such a rewarding feeling that me and Coach are capable
43:55of winning this race.
43:58We are more than capable of doing whatever we want
44:02and succeeding.
44:05I feel like I'm going to be going home ten times bigger
44:08than I was, you know?
44:10The lad, look at his bus.
44:11Oh, my days.
44:12VIP, Mongolia.
44:13Welcome to VIP.
44:14Are you messing?
44:14I realise there's so much opportunity for me.
44:19It's, like, almost mine for the taking.
44:22Sure.
44:23Made it, bro.
44:24You know what lesson today is?
44:27Persistence.
44:28Gast.
44:29We're going to Carthor in land.
44:45Last checkpoint.
44:46Isn't that really weird?
44:47That is weird.
44:48With Joe and Kush making headway through the night,
44:51morning brings a change of pace for Andrew and Molly.
44:54Checkpoint, here we come.
44:55Yeah.
44:56The lads were 17 hours ahead of us.
44:59Yes.
44:59And to pull that back is going to be a huge effort.
45:02But if we're in four or five hours of them,
45:04it would be an amazing result.
45:06Any closer would be an absolutely unreal result.
45:10Oh, goodbye, nice room.
45:12Welcome to the real Mongolia.
45:13Making good on their strategy to spend big and move fast,
45:18they've opted for a private taxi along the off-road track
45:21to the checkpoint.
45:24I actually think I'm falling in love with Mongolia.
45:28Ooh!
45:30What's up now?
45:32What's up?
45:32They're on a big red light on the dashboard.
45:35Jesus.
45:44Is this actually Joe?
45:46Shit.
45:49Jesus, Mary and the wee donkey.
45:53Car?
45:54Good?
45:55No.
45:56No.
46:01It looks as if he's trying to fix his battery, but I don't know.
46:04I don't know at the moment.
46:05I don't know what to do.
46:06There's nothing against you.
46:08It's quite cold.
46:10And...
46:10It could be a long wave.
46:12Yeah, of course.
46:12There's nobody around.
46:15Can we say a prayer?
46:17I think I'm on my third Hail Mary.
46:21Two hundred and ninety kilometres behind,
46:24having made it to Bayan Hongar...
46:27Going to earn some money.
46:28We need it.
46:29Katie and Harrison grab the opportunity for a local job
46:32to bolster their budget for the final stretch.
46:39Strong winds and intense sunshine
46:41are driving Mongolia's renewable future,
46:44with ambitions to triple green energy by 2030.
46:48But for now, coal remains essential
46:51to survive its brutal winters.
46:55That is a lot of coal.
46:57He's got two shovels out.
46:59Guess I'm backing this 1600s for a day.
47:01All right.
47:03Right, let's get to work.
47:04The man's looking at me.
47:08Keeping Mongolia warm single-handedly.
47:11I guess in countries where maybe the infrastructure
47:13isn't as well-developed, so stuff like this is needed.
47:16Katie, you've got something on your face.
47:19You look like a Victorian school child.
47:21I look like a chimney sweep.
47:24Yeah.
47:25Katie's happy to crack on with anything, really.
47:28I'm still just feeling a bit tired and under the weather,
47:31so she'll definitely be a little bit more chirpy off doing it.
47:35I'm working away here.
47:36I'm sweating.
47:38You can do the hard graft today.
47:40I will, yeah.
47:40I'll work for both of us.
47:42Yeah.
47:42You do time and half.
47:43I'll do half.
47:44Yeah.
47:46You're good at helping people out when they need help.
47:49Me?
47:50Yeah.
47:51That's nice.
47:52You were really good with Mum, like, with the emotional support.
47:56I was too focused on what I wanted to do and...
48:01Well, that's...
48:02Yeah.
48:02I just wanted to say, like, I suppose, thank you for...
48:07for being there and being...
48:09Well, that's really nice to hear, actually.
48:12On the race, I've heard, like, more about how much you were there.
48:17I felt more and more, like, guilty that I wasn't there.
48:22I don't think you should feel guilty,
48:23but I really appreciate you saying that, because...
48:28I don't know if I felt, like, angry towards you,
48:31but I do have very specific memories.
48:34Like, one when an ambulance came to the house
48:38and Mum was just screaming out in pain and, like...
48:41I come into your room and I try to tell you,
48:44and you're like, well, there's nothing I can do,
48:46and then I can hear you laughing on the Xbox.
48:51I remember just crying my eyes out, cos...
48:54I don't know, I feel, I just felt, like,
48:56why is this affecting me and it's not affecting him?
48:59Like, how does he seem so OK about it all?
49:03I don't know if I was feeling fine, cos I also remember that.
49:07And that's the regret, is, like, sitting in my room, but...
49:10Yeah.
49:11..I don't know how to deal with that.
49:13With that.
49:13So you're not going to deal with it at all.
49:14So, kind of, probably don't deal with it.
49:16Yeah.
49:17I am sorry.
49:18I'm sorry to you.
49:19Sorry to Mum.
49:22To hear you say, like, that you actually recognised
49:25that it was tough for me,
49:27is really quite healing.
49:32I now just feel a lot more supported.
49:35You're just a much better human.
49:37Really.
49:38Yeah.
49:39Different.
49:40Don't plan on ever going back to that.
49:42No.
49:42We have a top 1% relationship in terms of a brother and sister.
49:47Yeah.
49:47And then we've probably just added a little extra dynamic to it.
49:52It was important to let Katie know that if Mum needs something
49:55or if Katie needs something,
49:56I won't hide away and be as selfish.
50:00We'll carry on being pretty mean to each other, messing about.
50:03But if needs be, we're both there for each other.
50:08Perfect.
50:10The race has just accelerated this growth and change in him.
50:14One full truck of coal.
50:16At the start, we still weren't really comfortable
50:18having these conversations and now it's just easy, it's natural.
50:22It's really lovely because I do feel like I have a proper big brother
50:26by my side.
50:27It's glorious.
50:28I'm really quite proud.
50:30So am I.
50:37Yay!
50:39It's working.
50:41On the road again.
50:43Father potty.
50:45You have done so much for me.
50:48Back on the move, Andrew and Molly.
50:50This is the last one.
50:52Jeez.
50:54Kirk Horn should be not too far away.
50:58Checkpoint, here we come.
51:05The seventh checkpoint.
51:08Har Horan.
51:10Home to Irdinzu Monastery.
51:13Built in 1585, it's a rare survivor of the Stalinist purge,
51:18which destroyed hundreds of Buddhist temples.
51:23First to touch down.
51:24What?
51:25Joe and Kush.
51:26Hey, bro.
51:27Let's go.
51:30All right.
51:31Follow the footbridge to find Irdinzu Monastery.
51:35Once inside, locate the golden lotus bud on the temple.
51:38Irdinzu.
51:42Oh, Joe.
51:43Bro.
51:45Bet you it's that massive monasterium.
51:47I bet you it's that massive monasterium.
51:48I know, that's too.
51:49This is so cool.
51:51This whole place.
51:52Isn't it?
51:56Oh, here we are.
51:57Here we are.
51:57Okay.
51:58Ready to rock.
52:02Follow the footbridge to find Irdinzu Monastery.
52:07That's a bit, that's the monastery.
52:09True?
52:09Yeah.
52:10Look at this place, man.
52:11It's stunning.
52:13This apparently was the capital of Genghis Khan.
52:15Yeah.
52:17Locate golden lotus bud.
52:20It's the top of that one over there.
52:22That whiter-looking one.
52:24Yeah, it looks like a lotus bud.
52:26If you start like that and then you flower outwards.
52:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:30Exit the monastery on foot, head west,
52:32and sign in at the checkpoint.
52:34Ich Coram Hotel.
52:36What way is west?
52:37West is...
52:39It says it's going, like, this way.
52:42Maybe that exit.
52:44So let's just get out of here.
52:46I think that's it there.
52:47Yeah, it looks like a flower, doesn't it, yeah?
52:49It looks like it.
52:50Okay, you sure?
52:51No.
52:52What's the name of it?
52:52Golden lotus bud.
52:54I think that's...
52:54That's a cross.
52:56Because it looks like a bud now, but...
52:59They all look like bloody buds.
53:00There's somebody over there, Moni.
53:02We've got people who ask.
53:04I think it's a monk.
53:05Even better.
53:11I can't spot any building that looks like a hotel.
53:14Can I see that compass?
53:16Is this west?
53:18No, Tara's a bit screwed, lad.
53:20He seems to think I'm a blaze.
53:22It does.
53:22What else?
53:23I don't know where we're going.
53:24No, me neither.
53:26I've been going a further away from it, you know.
53:28Should we take a gamble?
53:29Go straight?
53:30Yeah.
53:30We just keep going.
53:34This is it.
53:37Exit the monastery on foot and head west and sign in at the checkpoint.
53:42Alright, Molly.
53:43Here we go.
53:45I hope not.
53:47Keep going.
53:49There's not much left in the tank.
53:51I know.
53:51I am absolutely right.
53:53Just list that building dead ahead.
53:55Saw the clock.
53:57That's it there.
53:58Come on.
53:59I think we've done tremendously well.
54:02Don't jinx it, bro.
54:02He's got to maintain our position.
54:03We're in, Miles.
54:05Over.
54:06Marley, we're running in.
54:08Come on.
54:08Come on.
54:09Reception.
54:18Got to be first, bro.
54:22Congratulations.
54:24Your success when you reached your seventh checkpoint.
54:26We've got two points.
54:33Boss.
54:37Bro, what a boss leg we've had.
54:39I think that's the best leg so far.
54:41Everything-wise time.
54:42We're doing something right, bro.
54:44Budget.
54:44Fun.
54:45At this point, the win is everything.
54:47We've done so much to get here.
54:49This is where you want to be.
54:50On leg seven.
54:51First place, bro.
54:52I love seeing that empty book.
54:54One more time and we won it.
54:57I think the pressure is the hardest thing that we're going to have to try and keep under control.
55:01We've got to keep fighting until the very, very last moment.
55:04We're so close.
55:05The failure is not an option right now.
55:07Well done.
55:07Well done.
55:08Well done.
55:09If anyone does rad today, props to them.
55:13Whatever it be, all right?
55:15I'm so excited.
55:16Come on.
55:17Yeah.
55:23Oh, we're second.
55:24Oh, well done.
55:26We're second going to the final.
55:29Well done.
55:31Well done.
55:31Well done.
55:32Well done.
55:32Well done.
55:33This is our first time just being above third.
55:36And five hours is nothing.
55:38We're in touching distance.
55:39We just need to follow it up now with the final leg.
55:41Yeah.
55:41And hopefully then we can finish the job.
55:43Finish the job.
56:05It is so cold.
56:07Yeah.
56:08Oh my God.
56:09This is the coldest of a bit.
56:11I'm just trying to focus on some iron.
56:13There it is.
56:17No idea where we're going to come here.
56:20Last.
56:23So nervous.
56:26Oh my God.
56:28Third.
56:29Still so far behind for this.
56:31By a lot.
56:33I'm really happy we've come third.
56:35We're not last.
56:36But I am really devastated.
56:39We've just not made up that much time.
56:41Mongolia is tough to travel through.
56:43I think the phrase we've been Mongolia is something I'll use for a while.
56:48We're third, which is great.
56:50We've climbed up a spot.
56:51I really want to win.
56:52And I do think we could come first.
56:55Anything's possible.
56:56We've done fourth to first before.
56:57So, yeah, we'll give it all we've got.
57:05Look at the blue sky.
57:07We're doing blue sky thinking today.
57:09That's all we can do.
57:11With three teams checked in, one team is still 470 kilometres away.
57:18What price are we going to start with?
57:20Are we offering them?
57:21We'll see if they'll take us for nothing.
57:22Nothing.
57:23Nothing.
57:25If we get a lift now to the checkpoint,
57:27I can expect us paying at least $80 to $100,
57:31which completely blows the budget for the final leg.
57:34Is this a good place?
57:36It's not the busiest of highways, is it?
57:38No.
57:41You seem to miss a rush hour.
57:44Just think.
57:45If we don't get to the finish line,
57:47go and sign that book,
57:48it'd be a real shame.
57:51We're so close.
57:52We're so close.
57:53And we made so many sacrifices,
57:55and we budgeted,
57:56and all the skanky accommodation we've done.
58:01I'd be really gutted if we don't get to the end.
58:04It'd be really, really disappointing.
58:13The thing is, if you do more than a five-minute walk in Mongolia,
58:17you're suddenly in the middle of nowhere.
58:20We've done fourth to first before.
58:23We can do third to first.
58:24Come on, you.
58:25Whoa-ho!
58:26Do you think we can get to the end?
58:28I don't know.
58:28It's never been about the ten round for me.
58:30I just want to say I've won it.
58:32What the hell?
58:33We may have made a really bad decision.
58:36This morning woke up with a chance of winning.
58:38I don't know.
58:39Finishing would just be a great job.
58:41Let's go, go, go.
58:43Absolutely epic.
58:43This is eight weeks in the making.
58:45Palermo, Fuscado, Istanbul, all-in-one for this moment.
58:49I'm so excited.
58:50Mission Agal is a go.
59:13flow and start out.
59:17St ausと思います.
59:17You guys are in good.
59:22Fucking
