00:00:10A
00:00:38Welcome to Ahramand.
00:00:40It's Mongolian tradition to offer milk, honouring the spirits of ancestors.
00:00:46One of the oldest rituals in Mongolia, tatsal is an offering of gratitude for the spirits
00:00:53of the mountains and sky.
00:00:56Milk is the symbol of all pure things.
00:01:00Now I want to make an offering for your journey.
00:01:03This will give you blessing.
00:01:06Where would you go?
00:01:07North.
00:01:07North.
00:01:08We're going north.
00:01:09Have a safe and pleasant journey.
00:01:13May you reach your destination without any obstacles.
00:01:19Now is the time to express gratitude for your journey.
00:01:52I see a journey.
00:01:54We're going north of the east.
00:01:55Pass on your seatbelt.
00:01:56You're in for a bumpy ride.
00:01:58Through the expanse of Eurasia.
00:02:01Oh my God.
00:02:02Across eight contrasting countries.
00:02:04Holy moly.
00:02:05In a race defined by extremes.
00:02:08It's actually hot here, isn't it?
00:02:10It is so cold.
00:02:11It's not exactly the Orient Express.
00:02:14Not a horse in Kyrgyzstan.
00:02:18It is so cold.
00:02:19Now, one final test of endurance awaits to reach the finish line.
00:02:24And for the victors, a prize of £20,000.
00:02:33It's kind of crazy, this coming to an end.
00:02:35No second chances.
00:02:37No, no.
00:02:38It is.
00:02:38You win or you lose.
00:02:40I'm feeling very confident.
00:02:41I'm seeing an empty book.
00:02:43That is my whole head right now.
00:02:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:46I'm competitive at heart and I want to win.
00:02:50You have to win some and lose some.
00:02:51Yeah, we haven't won some yet though.
00:02:52We haven't won some, exactly.
00:02:54We haven't been first but we only have to win one leg and that's the last leg.
00:02:58I feel like it's between us.
00:03:00Do you think?
00:03:01I still wouldn't write off the others.
00:03:02A good connection and a bad connection for us and everybody's back in the race again.
00:03:06Check you made us.
00:03:11All four teams have reached the seventh checkpoint.
00:03:14Joe and Kush sit in pole position.
00:03:17And after finding a cheap hitchhike, Mark and Margo signed in a day and a half behind.
00:03:22While Andrew and Molly are in second place, they hold the advantage of the strongest budget.
00:03:29We're 24 hours behind and I don't want to catch up time.
00:03:32I still want to win.
00:03:33That's the attitude.
00:03:34We've done fourth to first before.
00:03:3620 hours behind.
00:03:37We can do third to first for 24 hours behind.
00:03:40There's no reason why we can't win this race.
00:03:42Yes!
00:03:44Making it to Hakkau is my number one priority.
00:03:47Have we got enough money?
00:03:48Mongolia is expensive.
00:03:50Public transport is minimal.
00:03:51We're going to have to get cheap travel.
00:03:53I think we'll do it.
00:03:54I like that attitude, Mark.
00:03:56We're going to do ourselves proud.
00:03:57We are, yes.
00:04:14You ready?
00:04:14Let's do this, man.
00:04:165am.
00:04:17Departing as race leaders for the second time.
00:04:20Thank you so much.
00:04:20Joe and Kush.
00:04:21Brahms, this is it.
00:04:23This is the last line.
00:04:25Hat girl.
00:04:25Let's go.
00:04:28To reach the finish line, teams face a crucial choice.
00:04:33Head east via the capital, Ulaanbaatar.
00:04:36Following paved roads on a well-connected route of buses, taxis, and the country's only passenger
00:04:43train line.
00:04:44But a detour of over 500 kilometres.
00:04:48Or strike out north, heading off-road across the remote Hangai Mountains.
00:04:54Half the distance, but twice the risk.
00:04:57Where public transport disappears, and they must depend on locals to make progress.
00:05:04The north meets way more direct, but more risky.
00:05:08It's like off-road.
00:05:09Poor roads.
00:05:10Bad transport connections.
00:05:11I don't think that's an option.
00:05:13Car going to Ulaanbaatar seems safer.
00:05:15Going by the city, we've got buses and trains.
00:05:17Maybe there isn't night trains at Ednep.
00:05:19If we get to Ednep by tomorrow morning, we are flying.
00:05:23Pushing out towards Ulaanbaatar, the boys plan to swing east.
00:05:28Taking a chance on connections from the capital to Mongolia's second largest city,
00:05:33Ednep.
00:05:35I'm so nervous!
00:05:36I'm so hyped!
00:05:37The risk is that we're actually going away from checkpoints.
00:05:40Is that open?
00:05:40Yes.
00:05:41It all relies on if we can get transport out of Ulaanbaatar in the night.
00:05:45Could you call a taxi?
00:05:47We need to get to Ulaanbaatar.
00:05:49If that exists, we are sorted.
00:05:51If not, and that could risk everything.
00:05:55There are no taxis available now.
00:05:56The bus leaves.
00:05:57The bus leaves.
00:05:58It's too late.
00:05:59We could try and hitchhike.
00:06:00Let's just go, bro.
00:06:03Getting out of the car can is not easy.
00:06:05We don't want Andrew and Molly to catch up.
00:06:07Come on, please stop.
00:06:08Hopefully we can get a ride before 10am.
00:06:13Hello.
00:06:14Could you help us, please?
00:06:17Ulaanbaatar?
00:06:18Ulaanbaatar.
00:06:18You?
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:20Can we come?
00:06:21Ulaanbaatar?
00:06:22We have money.
00:06:24Do I?
00:06:25Let's go!
00:06:26Woo!
00:06:27Let's go!
00:06:28Go!
00:06:29Woo!
00:06:30Swerved the bus.
00:06:31We're getting private.
00:06:32We're going in style to Ulaanbaatar.
00:06:35Should we negotiate a price?
00:06:3680,000 is okay.
00:06:38Thank you, thank you.
00:06:39Bro!
00:06:4080,000?
00:06:41What a gangsta!
00:06:43Thank you so much.
00:06:47Bro.
00:06:48We have swerved the bus by.
00:06:50Two hours and 15 minutes.
00:06:52Good.
00:06:52Very good stuff.
00:06:53One highway, it's daylight, smooth, everything's gone.
00:06:56Good, bro.
00:07:00Jesus, that's cold.
00:07:01That is cold.
00:07:02Next to make haste for Hat Gal.
00:07:05Are we happy with going to Testerleg first?
00:07:07I think that's a good call.
00:07:08Andrew and Molly.
00:07:10We've the money to go more directly.
00:07:12Absolutely.
00:07:13Why take the safe auction?
00:07:15Okay.
00:07:16That's a supermarket there.
00:07:18Hello.
00:07:19Taxi to Testerleg?
00:07:20Yeah.
00:07:20Can they collect us from here?
00:07:22Yeah, indeed.
00:07:23Perfect.
00:07:24Getting on the road, SAP.
00:07:26We're choosing to go the shorter route.
00:07:28Can you stand there for a minute?
00:07:29Okay.
00:07:29Might be trickier, but we can throw money at taxis.
00:07:33So, it's lovely to be able to kind of not panic about it.
00:07:36You ready?
00:07:37Oh, is he here?
00:07:38Yeah.
00:07:39Every moment we move is going to be getting close to Hat Gal.
00:07:42Going bus country is a huge risk, but we want to win it,
00:07:46and we're going to fight toot and nail to win it.
00:07:48Cheers.
00:07:49They plan to exploit their healthy budget, splashing out on private taxis
00:07:54to propel them north on a more direct route to the checkpoint.
00:07:58Okay.
00:07:59Great job.
00:08:01Yay!
00:08:02We're on the way.
00:08:04There's the start of the last leg hit.
00:08:07Scary, but exciting.
00:08:09I'm assuming the boys have gone to Ulaanbaatar,
00:08:11because we suspect they have limited funds.
00:08:13Yes.
00:08:13So, they're probably going to try and get a better work.
00:08:15Yeah.
00:08:16It doesn't make sense to me.
00:08:17We should just go direct to getting a bit of an advantage over the boys.
00:08:21Yeah.
00:08:23370 kilometres east.
00:08:26Ah, it's amazing.
00:08:28Joe and Kush have reached Ulaanbaatar.
00:08:31Oh, my God.
00:08:33Surely not.
00:08:34I can't lie, I didn't expect to see these guys in Mongolia.
00:08:37Got Beatles fans love the word, bro.
00:08:39Couldn't even name them.
00:08:39Which is really?
00:08:39Who wants to be?
00:08:42Wingo, Paul, Lennon.
00:08:45Wingo, Star.
00:08:46John Lennon, Paul McCartney and...?
00:08:49That's the last one.
00:08:54The world's coldest capital city,
00:08:56where winter temperatures can plunge to minus 40.
00:09:00It's home to around 1.7 million people,
00:09:04nearly half the country's entire population.
00:09:07Tightly-packed ger districts
00:09:10surround a vibrant, modern urban core.
00:09:14OK, let's try on the overnight train.
00:09:16It's here, didn't it?
00:09:18What the hell?
00:09:20OK, that can't be right.
00:09:22What?
00:09:25What?
00:09:26What are you thinking?
00:09:28There's no trains we can get tonight.
00:09:30No, it's the capital.
00:09:31There should be loads of transport.
00:09:32I think we should pass this lady.
00:09:34Hello.
00:09:35Times?
00:09:37It says 7 o'clock.
00:09:39Tomorrow in the evening.
00:09:40We can't get that too late.
00:09:42God.
00:09:43Did you get a bus?
00:09:44Bus or autobus?
00:09:47No.
00:09:47Train ticket.
00:09:48Only train ticket.
00:09:50You may have made a really bad decision.
00:09:53We're just stuck.
00:09:55It starts to get this overwhelming fear
00:09:57that you've done the wrong thing.
00:09:59Oh, we took a much longer route trying to rely on a train.
00:10:03However, the train hasn't worked out.
00:10:04What can we do?
00:10:05We could do a job and then find another way to get to Edna tomorrow morning.
00:10:11Yeah.
00:10:12If Molly and Andrew took the more direct route, there's a good chance that they're ahead of us.
00:10:17Oh, that's so annoying.
00:10:27Cheers.
00:10:29Right.
00:10:29Right, kid.
00:10:30We made it.
00:10:31It's a lovely wee home.
00:10:33Building momentum, Andrew and Molly have pushed into the lead by arriving into Tetser Leg.
00:10:41There are one of the guest house.
00:10:42Here's the room.
00:10:43Room number three.
00:10:45Oh, thank you so much.
00:10:46Oh, thank you so much.
00:10:46This is lovely.
00:10:48Perfect.
00:10:48To map out their next move in the morning.
00:10:50Can we ask you a really important question?
00:10:52We need to get to Jagaland.
00:10:55They are enlisting the help of guest house owner and tour operator Murray.
00:10:59That's it there.
00:11:00That is Jagaland.
00:11:01Okay.
00:11:02Yeah.
00:11:03That's Jagaland.
00:11:04Yes.
00:11:04So is that.
00:11:05Right.
00:11:06Jagaland means joy.
00:11:07Okay.
00:11:08Jagaland is a joy for town.
00:11:09Right.
00:11:10There's many of them.
00:11:11Right, okay.
00:11:12Throughout Mongolia, it's common for places to share the same name.
00:11:17Jagaland being especially popular.
00:11:20To distinguish the correct location, travelers often need to specify the province.
00:11:26It's that one.
00:11:27That's how it's spelled, isn't it?
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:29Oh, okay.
00:11:29That Jagaland.
00:11:30That is a remarkable spot.
00:11:31And you have a contact there?
00:11:32We have a contact there.
00:11:34Yes.
00:11:34Okay.
00:11:36We need to be there as early as we can tomorrow.
00:11:38Would you be able to help us book a taxi?
00:11:40The easiest way is for me just to call the driver.
00:11:42I could hug you.
00:11:43Can I hug you?
00:11:45We have located the actual Jagaland.
00:11:48Seems to be quite a few.
00:11:50So it was quite nice to work out which one we're exactly going to.
00:11:53Do you have a budget to this stretch for?
00:11:55You tell us how much.
00:11:55What do you need?
00:11:57$105.
00:11:57Yes.
00:11:58That's perfect.
00:11:59This could be huge for us.
00:12:01We have saved the money.
00:12:02I only let him eat crisp sandwiches for six weeks.
00:12:06We're getting half of the hotel.
00:12:09Very pleased.
00:12:10All's looking well.
00:12:11All's looking upwards.
00:12:13And I'm just so happy.
00:12:17That was a good choice today.
00:12:19Happy, yeah?
00:12:21I'm both.
00:12:23While Andrew and Molly get an early night.
00:12:28Joe and Kush's evening is just getting started.
00:12:33That one.
00:12:35You got it.
00:12:36We need extra money for a long taxi to earn it.
00:12:39Early as we can in the morning.
00:12:41There you are.
00:12:43With an average age of just 25.
00:12:46What's your favourite cocktail?
00:12:47Occasionally enjoy a Long Island.
00:12:49Do you want me to try and make you one?
00:12:51Yes, please.
00:12:52Ulaanbaatar has become the pulse of modern Mongolia.
00:12:57Oh, it's been strong.
00:12:58You'll survive.
00:12:59Renowned for its thriving nightlife.
00:13:02This part of the city, I guess, brings by a lot of young people.
00:13:05And a lot of English speakers too.
00:13:07You guys are lucky because it's so warm in England.
00:13:09It's warm?
00:13:10Well, you get a lot of rain.
00:13:11It's not as cold as here.
00:13:12This is like dry cold.
00:13:14Yeah, it stings your throat.
00:13:15It stings.
00:13:16I swear to God, when I hit 35, I'll move to Manchester, London or...
00:13:21Liverpool.
00:13:23I heard the food is whack though.
00:13:24Is that true?
00:13:25No, it's...
00:13:26Like fish and chips and beans.
00:13:27Banging, banging.
00:13:28No, I tell you, it's so nice.
00:13:30Is this yours?
00:13:32Oh, this feels weird.
00:13:33It feels like being back at home.
00:13:36Before I left, I quit working in bars.
00:13:39I've come in, I've gone right back to pouring a pint.
00:13:41In Mongolia, do they have like a head on the beer?
00:13:43Yes, we do.
00:13:44When we go back to Liverpool, part of me is just dreading it
00:13:47because I know that it's going to be like job searching.
00:13:50Do you want to have one selfie with you guys?
00:13:52Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:55I don't want to go back to normal life,
00:13:57especially after experiencing something like this.
00:13:59Every day is different.
00:14:00I want to just make the most of life right now.
00:14:02Nice to meet you.
00:14:04Still got a long way to go now.
00:14:05I still believe we can win.
00:14:19Watch the ice there.
00:14:216.55am.
00:14:23We could finish first.
00:14:24But going through the capital is not going to win us it.
00:14:27The route has to be a direct.
00:14:30Chasing Andrew and Molly, the siblings are the second team
00:14:33to take a gamble on a more direct route north to claw back time.
00:14:37We need to move quick.
00:14:39Left or right?
00:14:42Uh...
00:14:43Ah, ask these ladies.
00:14:44Excuse me.
00:14:45Hello.
00:14:46Um...
00:14:46Avto Vauxhall.
00:14:52This way.
00:14:53Taxi or Avto bus?
00:14:55She's calling somewhere.
00:15:16Oh, okay.
00:15:17Thank you so much.
00:15:21She's coming.
00:15:22I don't know what that means.
00:15:23I don't know whether she's just going to come help us
00:15:25or whether she's going to...
00:15:26Take us or...
00:15:27Take us somewhere.
00:15:28I don't know.
00:15:29Yeah.
00:15:29We'll see.
00:15:31I like this lady here.
00:15:33Hello.
00:15:35Yes.
00:15:36On the phone, yes.
00:15:37How can I help you?
00:15:38Um, we are trying to get to...
00:15:40Is that select?
00:15:41Oh, we have no car.
00:15:45No car?
00:15:46Yeah.
00:15:47Oh, okay.
00:15:48I don't know what you think it is.
00:15:50You want to take us?
00:15:51Yeah.
00:15:52Really?
00:15:52Oh, wow.
00:15:52Yeah, that sounds great.
00:15:54I cannot believe this.
00:15:56Before we go, can we agree on a prize?
00:15:5920,000.
00:16:0020,000?
00:16:01Yeah.
00:16:02All the way to...
00:16:03250 kilometres for 20,000.
00:16:05Wow, that is very, very kind.
00:16:07I want to help you, guys.
00:16:09I can't believe we're on our way.
00:16:11This is huge for the race.
00:16:13Everything happens for a reason.
00:16:15It does.
00:16:15And that reason is...
00:16:17We're with it.
00:16:18...Numero one.
00:16:19Mission Hat Gal is a go.
00:16:22As Katie and Harrison kickstart their comeback with a lift to Tets and Leg...
00:16:27250,000.
00:16:28Isn't it?
00:16:29Uh-huh.
00:16:30Boom.
00:16:31...in Ulan Bator, having ruled out waiting all day for a train...
00:16:35My friend.
00:16:35Let's go fast.
00:16:37Phew!
00:16:38Joe and Kush are utilising the cash they earned yesterday on a taxi to Erdenet.
00:16:44No Weebricks.
00:16:45No.
00:16:46Hold it in.
00:16:48Things have really gone to plan, but this route has the security of options.
00:16:52Even though there were no trains and there was taxis.
00:16:55There's also an actual paved road, but I really don't know.
00:16:59This still might not be enough.
00:17:00At least it's been a smooth ride.
00:17:07Oh, my goodness.
00:17:10Oh, this is not our everyday roads.
00:17:13350 kilometres closer to the finish line...
00:17:16Jesus, he's getting on the top.
00:17:19It's a bit of a bone shake.
00:17:22Andrew and Molly are making strides to Jargaland.
00:17:25What?
00:17:27Jesus, man.
00:17:28He knew it was going to be a long, torturous, bouncy job.
00:17:31Bouncy is understanding.
00:17:33Yeah.
00:17:35Where are we?
00:17:36I can't answer it quite.
00:17:38We're still in the middle of no work.
00:17:48We've got nothing to lose.
00:17:50If you're going to get in a blaze of glory, get in a blaze of glory.
00:17:54With just 9% of their budget remaining, Mark and Margot are last to get going.
00:18:00Budget is horribly tight.
00:18:02But we're so far behind.
00:18:04The only option we do have is to go as direct as we can.
00:18:07Absolutely.
00:18:08Excuse me, gentlemen.
00:18:09Your horses are fabulous.
00:18:11Can you help us?
00:18:12We want to get to Tsetsaleg.
00:18:15Betting on a more direct route to get them to Hatgal cheaply,
00:18:18they're the third team avoiding the capital.
00:18:21Tsetsaleg.
00:18:22I came from there.
00:18:22Did you?
00:18:23Easy.
00:18:24Ever since we got to Mongolia, we have found it tough.
00:18:27But our race is not over.
00:18:29And we are so focused on Hatgal and getting there.
00:18:33Try to hitchhike here.
00:18:34Thank you very much.
00:18:35Cheers, cheers, guys.
00:18:37Let's get our thumbs out.
00:18:38And try and hitch.
00:18:39Perfect.
00:18:41It's quite a big distance, but if you can get a lift,
00:18:44and you can agree a low figure that way,
00:18:46hopefully our budget will last us all the way to Hatgal.
00:18:49Here's a cow.
00:18:50Let's hitch a ride on the cow.
00:18:52I think this new headdress goes with my hitchhiking persona.
00:18:56Do I look like a weirdo?
00:18:57Yes.
00:18:57No, you don't, no.
00:18:59Hello.
00:19:01Hello.
00:19:01We're going to Tsetsaleg.
00:19:03Can you give us a lift?
00:19:05Tsetsaleg?
00:19:05Yeah, Tsetsaleg.
00:19:06Yeah, you give us a lift.
00:19:07Me and him.
00:19:08Mark!
00:19:09Mark!
00:19:10He's very slow.
00:19:11He's quite old.
00:19:12Come on.
00:19:13I'm coming.
00:19:14They said yes?
00:19:15Yes.
00:19:16So good of you.
00:19:17This is brilliant, Mark.
00:19:18It's very good, isn't it?
00:19:19Actually, excellent, yeah.
00:19:20I'll give him some money.
00:19:21A little bit of money towards petrol.
00:19:23Yeah.
00:19:23This is a result in half, isn't it?
00:19:25It's a good stance to the leg, and it's well within budget.
00:19:33Is that anything?
00:19:34OK.
00:19:35This is it, isn't it?
00:19:36And this has been the journey from hell.
00:19:37Yes, from hell.
00:19:38After five hours traversing rocky off-road tracks...
00:19:42God, how remote is it?
00:19:43Yeah, very in the middle of nowhere.
00:19:46Andrew and Molly have arrived in Jargaland.
00:19:48We're finally here.
00:19:52We have a bed for tonight.
00:19:54Could you make contact with him, please?
00:19:56I'm here, I'm here.
00:19:58Hello, how are you?
00:20:01Hello, how are you?
00:20:02Hello, how are you?
00:20:03I'm here to go.
00:20:06I'm here to go.
00:20:08I'm here to go.
00:20:09I'm here to go.
00:20:10Yes.
00:20:10I'm here to go.
00:20:17Where is he?
00:20:19Where is he?
00:20:19I don't understand.
00:20:20Is he here?
00:20:24Not this Jargaland?
00:20:26No.
00:20:28This could be bad.
00:20:30We ring Murray from last night.
00:20:32Good idea.
00:20:35I found out it's the wrong Jargaland.
00:20:37I'm a bit confused.
00:20:39We pointed to the right one, I think, on the map last night.
00:20:43Not what we needed in the last run.
00:20:45I don't think the mood would be very high if we have to go backwards.
00:20:50Murray.
00:20:51Hello.
00:20:51Do you know what's happening here?
00:20:53Sorry, we're not really understanding.
00:20:55I knew you needed to go to half-school Jargaland, not to our Hyundai Jargaland.
00:20:59How are we in the wrong one?
00:21:01You guys pointed to the map.
00:21:02That's where we want to go.
00:21:05So, Murray, what's the solution in this?
00:21:07There's a big canyon, a big gorge between you and half-school Jargaland.
00:21:10Yeah.
00:21:10That's not crossable.
00:21:12The solution is you need to backtrack about half the way that you've come
00:21:16and then continue further west from there.
00:21:19Oh, no.
00:21:24Blocking their path, a 20-metre-deep, 100-kilometre-long canyon,
00:21:30meaning a journey of just 100 kilometres as the crow flies
00:21:34is over 400 kilometres by road.
00:21:39From your Jargaland to the other Jargaland,
00:21:42it's further than you've already driven today.
00:21:44I don't think you'll make it today.
00:21:46OK.
00:21:47It's not safe to go at night-time.
00:21:49We are really stuck.
00:21:51There's always a risk coming this way
00:21:53and it has turned out to be exactly what it was, a risk.
00:21:57Crushing at the moment, but what can you do?
00:22:00Just have to take it in the chin.
00:22:04I'm trying to work out where's a good place to go to, to keep going.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:09We could go to Corgo for a homestay,
00:22:12help out on a farm and then move on tomorrow morning.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:16We could, yeah.
00:22:17Hello, Murray.
00:22:18Where's Corgo?
00:22:19Is that closer?
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21Probably about a four-hour drive.
00:22:23OK.
00:22:23That makes it cost an extra $20 on top of what you've already paid.
00:22:27What do you want to do?
00:22:27Do you want to do that?
00:22:28I think so.
00:22:29We are in a race.
00:22:30We need to keep going.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:33Unable to reach their intended jargalant today,
00:22:37father and daughter plan to stop 160 kilometres short in Horrock,
00:22:42where they have found a homestay in the jobs directory.
00:22:46OK.
00:22:47That would be great.
00:22:48Could he be able to do that for us?
00:22:50Yep.
00:22:50Not ideal.
00:22:51Puts us behind on time.
00:22:53What?
00:22:54Gets us on the move.
00:22:59This morning woke up with another chance of winning.
00:23:01I know.
00:23:02Finishing would just be a great job.
00:23:07You all right, kid?
00:23:09You all right, kid?
00:23:09I love you.
00:23:13I love you.
00:23:13Chloe.
00:23:15Just f***ing up.
00:23:16Watch your neck.
00:23:17It's all right.
00:23:18Come on, we get in this car and get the cargo.
00:23:19Yeah, we go.
00:23:21I love you.
00:23:21I'll never make it.
00:23:24Hopefully get to this farm stay tonight before it gets dark.
00:23:39You're just going to wander down there.
00:23:40Yeah.
00:23:41I think.
00:23:42Closing the gap, Katie and Harrison have arrived in Tetserleg.
00:23:47I've not really wandered around Mongolia.
00:23:49The thing is, if you do more than a five-minute walk in Mongolia,
00:23:52you're suddenly in the middle of nowhere.
00:23:55In the middle of nowhere.
00:23:58Founded in the 17th century,
00:24:00the city grew around the monastery built by influential monk and scholar,
00:24:05Zaya Pandita Lovsan Prinle.
00:24:07Through his teachings, Tibetan Buddhism took hold alongside the area's deep-rooted shamanic beliefs.
00:24:16I think we need a hard-earned bear.
00:24:19Bob!
00:24:21Bob!
00:24:22Bob!
00:24:23With plans to hitch a lift first thing in the morning...
00:24:26Oh, Bob, Katie.
00:24:28Oh, God.
00:24:30A chance for the siblings to enjoy a familiar pastime.
00:24:34It is the strangest place I think I've ever had a beer.
00:24:38Cheers to us...
00:24:40..getting tanker.
00:24:41Cheers.
00:24:42Or winning.
00:24:43I'd love to sign that book first.
00:24:45I actually can't imagine us not signing the book first.
00:24:47I think, for me, the fact that a house deposit is on the line makes it a bit real.
00:24:53We'd better win, then.
00:24:55It's never been about the ten grand for me.
00:24:57I just want to say I've won it.
00:24:58You've just got an ego.
00:25:00Grats.
00:25:01I still think we should win.
00:25:02Yeah.
00:25:03I didn't think we'd win turning up to the race.
00:25:05No, I thought we were going to get eliminated.
00:25:07But now, I think we've been the best racers.
00:25:09Cheers to winning.
00:25:11Maybe.
00:25:11Is it PMA?
00:25:12A positive mental attitude.
00:25:16As the sun sets, Mark and Margo pull level with Katie and Harrison in Tetserleg.
00:25:23Amazing.
00:25:24Wow, we're here.
00:25:25Hey, look, there's some strange statue here.
00:25:28It's like Superwoman.
00:25:29I don't think that's a woman.
00:25:33After a five-hour taxi, Joe and Kush have made it to Erdenet.
00:25:43I'm feeling so nervous about this last leg.
00:25:46Every little mistake you make could cost you £20,000 in first place.
00:25:50We've been wanting this win so well and we've done everything for this win.
00:25:54And it's like, if we do get it, it will be so rewarding.
00:25:57Imagine opening that book and seeing no names for the third time in a row.
00:26:03That's a statement.
00:26:05If I won 10k race, do you know what I'd do, lad?
00:26:07I'd take me little brothers out.
00:26:08They're getting a burger and milkshakes.
00:26:10They're getting whatever they want, lad.
00:26:12Me ma, she's getting the finest pasta.
00:26:14I'm dining that lady on the finest food she could want.
00:26:17We're renting out the entire restaurant.
00:26:18We're taking out the restaurant, yeah.
00:26:20Then it's getting a house.
00:26:21If I could get my mum on the property ladder,
00:26:23she'll have somewhere where she never, ever has to worry about having to move.
00:26:28I give me mum some money and then I want to keep travelling.
00:26:32I want to go cynical.
00:26:33Learn where I come from, I guess, you know.
00:26:36I really want to win.
00:26:37We've sacrificed so much.
00:26:39We've gone through the stress.
00:26:40We have come so far.
00:26:42It's the last push.
00:26:44We've got to put everything into this, OK?
00:26:47I don't think I've mentally been able to do this without you doing this with me.
00:26:51I love you, though.
00:26:52Genuinely.
00:26:56I'm hoping this is the last hotel we stay in.
00:26:59Yes.
00:27:00Let's have a look at the next move.
00:27:01We need to keep as much money as we can.
00:27:03We want some free accommodation.
00:27:05Yes, exactly.
00:27:06I'm thinking of, like, a homestay.
00:27:08It takes time to get used to Mongolia.
00:27:10I think the last leg was a very steep learning curve.
00:27:16Ooh!
00:27:16There's a Gerst day and that's not too far from Horgo.
00:27:20Free bed for the night.
00:27:21I like the idea of this.
00:27:22Yes, I do, yes.
00:27:23Mark and myself have really rolled the dice,
00:27:26taken a chance by taking this route.
00:27:29If we can hitch some of the way.
00:27:30We've done it before, we can do it again.
00:27:32Yeah, and whatever it takes.
00:27:33Exactly, yes.
00:27:34If we couldn't finish the race, I would be devastated.
00:27:38But I believe we are good racers.
00:27:40We've come back after setbacks.
00:27:42We've got a little bit of racing left in us.
00:27:44There's no turning back.
00:27:45No, no, absolutely no turning back.
00:28:00You want the men?
00:28:01Yeah.
00:28:01OK.
00:28:02There.
00:28:04Having made it to their homestay in Horrokh last night...
00:28:08They all know where they're going.
00:28:10They all know they're over there.
00:28:12Andrew and Molly are putting in a shift
00:28:15with yak herder Inksum Yarjab
00:28:17as payment for their bed and board.
00:28:28Situated in the Tariyat Chulot volcanic field,
00:28:32lies the now dormant volcano Horrokh, meaning shelter.
00:28:38Local legend says noble outlaws used the crater as a secret hideout.
00:28:43But after ambushing travellers, they would meet in the shadows
00:28:47of the volcanic stone to divide their spoils.
00:28:52Are you going to love to part?
00:28:55Yeah.
00:28:56Look.
00:28:59The view is stunning.
00:29:01The view is amazing.
00:29:02The view is absolutely stunning.
00:29:03The mountains are beautiful.
00:29:05Why did you travel through all them yesterday?
00:29:07Don't.
00:29:08Still too soon.
00:29:10Do you want me to tie that up?
00:29:13Don't touch you.
00:29:13Yeah.
00:29:14Come on, you.
00:29:15Whoa-ho!
00:29:16Whoa-ho!
00:29:18Do not lose your arm.
00:29:19Right.
00:29:20I've got you now.
00:29:21Now do as you're told.
00:29:22Wow.
00:29:22It's tummies rumbling.
00:29:24Aww.
00:29:25This is like holding the kids back in school at lunchtime.
00:29:30Once you let them go, that's it.
00:29:32They'll be gone.
00:29:33Just have to wait a wee minute, all right?
00:29:35Molly's slow, but she'll get there, OK?
00:29:39Let her go.
00:29:40Right, you ready?
00:29:40Mommy.
00:29:41One, two, three, go.
00:29:43Here we go.
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:45Mommy, mommy.
00:29:49It is lovely.
00:29:50It is lovely, isn't it?
00:29:52Probably what we needed after yesterday.
00:29:54I am still a bit down and glum today.
00:29:57Look, we made a mistake at the very, very end, but you know something?
00:30:02During this trip, Molly, every call that you've made, you have made work.
00:30:07Yesterday, my thought process was, how are we going to get out of this?
00:30:11And we did.
00:30:11It just proves to you that you're capable of doing it.
00:30:14And the consequence is that we are...
00:30:17Here.
00:30:17Here.
00:30:18In this beautiful spot.
00:30:21This whole race taught me so much about myself, about Daddy, about our relationship.
00:30:28I'm so proud of you.
00:30:29I am.
00:30:30You've achieved at everything you've done.
00:30:34I can be independent.
00:30:35I can make decisions.
00:30:36But I think this is the first time he's seen me in those kind of moments.
00:30:41I am not expecting you now to be the little child.
00:30:45I'm also expecting you to kind of come back with a retort.
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:48If I'm talking nonsense.
00:30:49And I think I also, I'm more confident in turning around to you and being a daddy your
00:30:53own.
00:30:54I would have held you a wee baby.
00:30:55You were so helpless.
00:30:58Now you're fit for the world.
00:31:01I'm so happy to come to Mammy and say that.
00:31:04You're fit for the world.
00:31:05I'm so proud of you too.
00:31:07You've done so many things.
00:31:08The race has proven that the world is my oyster.
00:31:11Yeah.
00:31:12Do a bit of travelling and visit places that I never thought were possible.
00:31:16I'm very much looking forward to life.
00:31:19I have plans in my head that I'll chat to Kate with when I go back.
00:31:23The world has definitely opened up to me now.
00:31:26And I'm getting a hat gal.
00:31:28That's what I have to achieve.
00:31:31Okay.
00:31:32We need to go.
00:31:33The thing is to get as close as possible to a hat gal today.
00:31:36Money wise we have nearly $400.
00:31:39We still have the money for taxis.
00:31:42All right.
00:31:43As they restart their push north.
00:31:45If we get on the move again, we have a chance.
00:31:49Following the same route.
00:31:51You've been so helpful.
00:31:52Yeah.
00:31:53Thank you so, so much.
00:31:54We could have been stuck in Setzeleg all day.
00:31:57Katie and Harrison have made up ground with a 220km free ride.
00:32:04Without this lift, our chances would have been squished.
00:32:07But if we can't get a lift to Shinader, then we're out of the race.
00:32:11The siblings are aiming for a rural village in the next province.
00:32:15Where they hope to find transport to Hatgal.
00:32:18We need to get a taxi to Shinader.
00:32:21I know one driver.
00:32:25They can help us get to Shinader.
00:32:27Maybe.
00:32:28Maybe, yeah.
00:32:29Okay.
00:32:29Thank you so much.
00:32:31Honestly, I could cry.
00:32:33I could throw up.
00:32:34We now need this journey to Shinader to be bang on.
00:32:43Okay, Benu.
00:32:44Shinader.
00:32:45Shinader?
00:32:45How much?
00:32:51500.
00:32:53350 is all we have.
00:33:00That's all I can afford.
00:33:03Yes?
00:33:04No?
00:33:04This price is very, very low for this travel.
00:33:08Okay.
00:33:09But they agree this...
00:33:11This price?
00:33:12This price?
00:33:12Okay.
00:33:16So happy.
00:33:17Oh.
00:33:17And relieved as well.
00:33:19Thank you so much.
00:33:20It helps us so much.
00:33:22We are in the middle of nowhere.
00:33:23If that lift was not organised, we have no chance of ever getting out of here.
00:33:26I've become a Mongolian citizen.
00:33:28I hope that you are...
00:33:29The winners.
00:33:30The winners.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:32Let's go, go, go.
00:33:33This taxi is the absolute best case scenario.
00:33:36We're wasting no time at all.
00:33:38The look on this leg has been immaculate.
00:33:41It is exciting.
00:33:42I'm just so happy.
00:33:43There is a possibility that we finish first.
00:33:47If only every leg went like this.
00:33:51To the east, in Erdenet.
00:33:54You all right, brother?
00:33:55Quick question.
00:33:56Joe and Kush are raring to get back on the move.
00:33:59We're in a race.
00:34:00We need to get to Hatgal as fast as we can.
00:34:02How can we get to Hatgal from here?
00:34:09Oh, no.
00:34:11Is there another way?
00:34:14Okay.
00:34:15Then go to the Hatgal.
00:34:18Do you know how many kilometres?
00:34:20400 kilometres in between Erdenet and Murun.
00:34:23Okay.
00:34:24That's a lot.
00:34:25We need to get there fast.
00:34:27Do you know how long that would take to drive?
00:34:29I don't know.
00:34:30Okay.
00:34:31We need to get out there.
00:34:34We need to keep moving.
00:34:40Trailing in last place...
00:34:43Yeah.
00:34:44That's good.
00:34:47Mark and Margot have made it to Horrokh.
00:34:51Yeah, next one.
00:34:52This is me along here.
00:34:54To help preserve what's left of their budget,
00:34:56they're trading manual labour for a place to stay.
00:35:00Are you enjoying this, Mark?
00:35:02Yeah, it's fun.
00:35:03I don't think I've ever knocked a nail in my life.
00:35:05There you go.
00:35:06You have now, haven't you?
00:35:07I have now.
00:35:07Several.
00:35:08I might do more handiwork of the viewers like this, Mark.
00:35:12Are you getting a picture of me?
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:14Do I look like a strong, powerful woman with my...
00:35:17Your hammer.
00:35:17Hammer.
00:35:20We've got a moment for ourselves.
00:35:22Let's go and look at the lake.
00:35:23It's so beautiful.
00:35:27Lying to the west of the Horrokh volcano,
00:35:31Tigan Taganur, meaning the Great White Lake.
00:35:36Created after Horrokh's eruption thousands of years ago,
00:35:40black basalt rocks still pepper its shores.
00:35:44Evidence of the torrents of lava which spewed from its crater,
00:35:48blocking the Turk River and forming the freshwater lake.
00:35:54Look at that.
00:35:55Wow.
00:35:56That is impressive.
00:35:57I want to throw a big rock into the lungs of the ice,
00:35:59see how thick it is.
00:36:00I'll throw you into the ice.
00:36:06That is solid.
00:36:08Absolutely solid.
00:36:10Wow.
00:36:11Now we've established that.
00:36:14That's beautiful, isn't it?
00:36:15Absolutely incredible.
00:36:16This is just nature, isn't it?
00:36:18It's just spectacular.
00:36:19Is this one of your highlights of the race?
00:36:21I think it is, yeah.
00:36:23And we've had quite a few of those moments, haven't we?
00:36:25We have.
00:36:27And I think it has changed my life.
00:36:29I think it has been a profound change in me and the way I'm going to live my life.
00:36:35What's been so good is I've not just got to know you, it's like you've got to know you.
00:36:40And I just get the idea that, you know, the new you, it's not going to be stopping you.
00:36:46Is there no stopping you?
00:36:47No.
00:36:47I'm planning my future already.
00:36:50Yeah.
00:36:51I've still got years left in me to do things that I want to do and push myself.
00:36:58This has made me realise to do things spontaneously and not be anxious or worried about doing those things.
00:37:05For me, I've realised I have to carve out time and space to create a future for myself.
00:37:14Do you really want you to do that?
00:37:16Yeah.
00:37:17As the race has gone on, we really understand each other.
00:37:21There's just more space to be ourselves.
00:37:25I think our relationship has changed. It has changed.
00:37:27Yeah.
00:37:28I think we are better friends, I think, now.
00:37:30Yeah.
00:37:31Both of us have grown and we've seen each other pushing ourselves and we see the true value in each
00:37:37other.
00:37:38What do you think Julia would say if she could see us?
00:37:40Oh, she'd be very pleased. She'd be very, very pleased, wouldn't she?
00:37:44Yeah.
00:37:44She would.
00:37:45She wouldn't be able to believe that her wish had come true in such an incredible way.
00:37:50Yeah.
00:37:51After we lost Julia, I did grieve and I did feel it deeply.
00:37:56But on the race, I have moved further on and thinking about Julia, but in a less emotional way, more
00:38:05in a like, more of a joyful way.
00:38:08That's not forgetting her.
00:38:10But it's, in a sense, it's a letting go. It's a letting go.
00:38:39Over a hundred and sixty kilometres ahead...
00:38:41He's gonna take us to Jargaland. I thought I was done with that word, Jargaland.
00:38:46At least this time we're on the right side of the board.
00:38:49Andrew and Molly's path north has taken them to the correct Jargaland, where tracks continue on to Hatgal.
00:39:00Hi. Hi.
00:39:02Can we book a taxi for tomorrow morning to Hatgal?
00:39:06It's getting dark and we have been left off by a taxi man to a family that seems to do
00:39:12taxis.
00:39:12At...
00:39:13Five.
00:39:14Five in the morning?
00:39:15Yeah. Perfect.
00:39:17Gawling to arrive in the place that we should have been yesterday, but we're getting a lift to Hatgal tomorrow.
00:39:23Where can we get a hotel?
00:39:30My home.
00:39:30You are allowing us to stay in your home.
00:39:33Jeez, they're really kind.
00:39:35Totally amazing.
00:39:37It's looking very bright at the minute.
00:39:39We're in a good position for tomorrow morning.
00:39:41We needed a bit of a win today and that was it.
00:39:44Oh, my God.
00:39:46Back in the game.
00:39:47I'm so excited.
00:39:48The sun will come up tomorrow and we're getting to Hatgal.
00:39:58Back in Horroch with Tuman Jargal and her family.
00:40:01It's so easy to drink, isn't it?
00:40:02It tastes of milk.
00:40:03It's good.
00:40:04Mark and Margo need to plot their way to Hatgal.
00:40:08Thank you for...
00:40:09Good job.
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:13Yes.
00:40:14Shiny dare.
00:40:15Shiny dare.
00:40:16Shiny dare.
00:40:17Shiny dare.
00:40:17No cars.
00:40:18We have no car.
00:40:20No cars.
00:40:22She said, are we walking?
00:40:24Maybe.
00:40:24Maybe.
00:40:25No, we're not walking, no.
00:40:27Can we get a taxi?
00:40:29Can you...
00:40:30No telephone.
00:40:30They can call.
00:40:31You call on for us, yes?
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:34Shiny dare.
00:40:38Shiny dare.
00:40:40Shiny dare.
00:40:42Toe.
00:40:43The.
00:40:43This one is here.
00:40:49The do and...
00:40:51Toe people.
00:40:54Whoa.
00:40:56That's a lot of money.
00:40:58Uh...
00:41:00We only have a very...
00:41:02We're small amounts of money, but they have much money.
00:41:05Yeah, we have to get, we have to, we have to get all the way to Hatgal.
00:41:13Paying for the pricey taxi would leave the in-laws
00:41:16with just 2% of their budget remaining
00:41:19and still over 200 kilometres to go to reach the finish line.
00:41:24That taxi's a bit of a shock.
00:41:26Absolute budget slayer.
00:41:28How many dollars is that we're paying?
00:41:30$120.
00:41:31But we have to do it.
00:41:32We've got to get out of here.
00:41:34Do you know how much we've got left?
00:41:35After the taxi, we've got about $80 left.
00:41:39Yeah.
00:41:39In this country, it's not much.
00:41:42OK.
00:41:43If me and Mark didn't finish the race, I would be really devastated
00:41:48because we've done everything we can.
00:41:52We've tried so, so hard.
00:41:55Do you think we can get to the end?
00:42:02I don't know.
00:42:04Being here could cost us a race.
00:42:06Tax to get out of here is 40% of our budget.
00:42:10We've still got a few hundred kilometres to go.
00:42:13Some of it across open wilderness.
00:42:15So, you know, we'll just see how it goes from tomorrow.
00:42:20How far we can get to Hatgal, I don't know.
00:42:49Known as the Blue Pearl of Mongolia,
00:42:52The sacred lake Hofskoll, ringed by dense taiga forests,
00:42:59roamed by wolves, snow leopards and brown bears.
00:43:02On its southern shore, a single foothold of civilisation.
00:43:08Hatgal and the finish line.
00:43:18Rocking up to the final in this is so cool.
00:43:23This fella is rapid.
00:43:25We're just cutting it down a mountain.
00:43:27Now I feel like I'm racing.
00:43:28Oh my God, this is mint.
00:43:33We are so close, I'm sorry.
00:43:37Touch wood.
00:43:38Three teams are closing in.
00:43:41Oh my goodness, I'm so excited.
00:43:43Oh my God.
00:43:45I want to be cold so I'm making one faster.
00:43:47It's going to get warm faster.
00:43:49Stealing themselves for the final sprint.
00:43:52This is it.
00:43:53How's it all coming to an end, believe me?
00:43:55How's it all finished, like?
00:44:00I really want to get to Hatgal.
00:44:02I want to sign in that book.
00:44:04So do I.
00:44:06400 kilometres behind.
00:44:08I just really hope we can do it there, Mark.
00:44:11Mark and Margot are racing to the mountain outpost of Shinny Dare.
00:44:16From there, they still have to find a way to Hatgal.
00:44:21Where we're going now is in the middle of nowhere.
00:44:23It's going to be a lucky break to find somebody going the right direction.
00:44:27But stranger things have happened.
00:44:29We're going to give everything we've got.
00:44:30Who knows, yeah.
00:44:48Well, it's just the end of the line, look.
00:44:5050 days in the making.
00:44:52Eight legs.
00:44:54We got this.
00:44:55We got this.
00:44:57Is it a really bad time to say I'm desperate for a way?
00:44:59You're not desperate.
00:45:01I am.
00:45:01You're just nervous.
00:45:03I'm ready to go.
00:45:04I've seen some yellow snow on the way.
00:45:07Can't believe we made it.
00:45:08We're here.
00:45:09No matter what, we're here.
00:45:12God, what a journey.
00:45:15I can't believe how snowy it is.
00:45:18Let's do this.
00:45:19What are we waiting for?
00:45:20Bye, la.
00:45:21Right, kid.
00:45:22You're ready to go.
00:45:26Let's do this.
00:45:28Okay.
00:45:28Found a lift and head off-road to locate the Ovu at the top of Saheul Hill.
00:45:34So we have to find a lift, all right?
00:45:36All right.
00:45:38Let's just go by the road, then.
00:45:40There's somebody in a land rover.
00:45:42Saheul Hill?
00:45:42There is a second hole.
00:45:47I'll go on the other side.
00:45:49Oh, shit.
00:45:52We're in a race.
00:45:53Would you give us a lift, please?
00:45:55Please.
00:45:56Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:45:58Can you drive to Saheul now?
00:46:01Yeah, now.
00:46:01Yeah, okay.
00:46:02Can we come in?
00:46:02Should I fly on a taxi?
00:46:04Hello.
00:46:04We are in a race.
00:46:06Go, go, go.
00:46:07Oh, it's added up there.
00:46:08All right, okay.
00:46:11I'm going to cling on to the hope that Molly and Andrew didn't make it yesterday.
00:46:14I can still see an empty book on my head.
00:46:16It's just how my brain works.
00:46:19Racing?
00:46:19Yes, yes, you race, you race.
00:46:21As quick as you can do it.
00:46:23As we say at home, keep it between the ditches.
00:46:25We need to go to the top.
00:46:27Can you drive to the top?
00:46:28It's trial.
00:46:29Yeah, we'll try.
00:46:30Oh!
00:46:33We're here.
00:46:34Is this the hill?
00:46:35Is this here?
00:46:37Can we go to the top?
00:46:41You should translate.
00:46:43I understand, but I can't go because my car is a small car.
00:46:47I can't.
00:46:49Okay.
00:46:51We need to get out now.
00:46:52Yeah.
00:46:53It's a pretty hefty walk.
00:46:59Oh, my God.
00:47:00The car is struggling.
00:47:02Oh, no, the car can't do it.
00:47:04Oh, my God.
00:47:06It's great.
00:47:06My shot's ready.
00:47:07Oh, it's horrible.
00:47:09It's got there, Katie, on the right.
00:47:11Run up a mountain.
00:47:12We're so stiffy.
00:47:14This is not the most efficient way, but you can drive us.
00:47:16I think we're wasting time.
00:47:19Oh, Jesus, now we're really off-road.
00:47:22Wow.
00:47:23Oh, she's slipping and slipping.
00:47:24Oh, my God.
00:47:25Oh, my God.
00:47:26Good job we're not walking, huh?
00:47:31I think it would have been worth the time searching for a 4x4.
00:47:35Where?
00:47:36Last, where?
00:47:38Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:47:40Okay.
00:47:41There's a monument up there.
00:47:43It's so slippy.
00:47:44Hey, Ryan.
00:47:45I'm coming.
00:47:47Oh, my God.
00:47:48Let me drop this bag.
00:47:49Oh, my days.
00:47:52Yes.
00:47:56That must be the oval.
00:47:58Oh, God.
00:47:59Right?
00:48:00Oh, look at that view, Molly.
00:48:03Look at that.
00:48:04That is amazing.
00:48:06Oh, I'm G.
00:48:10Passport shop.
00:48:13That's God.
00:48:14It's right there.
00:48:15Yeah.
00:48:16It's the only thing at the top of this hill.
00:48:19There's my bag.
00:48:25Right, Molly, kid.
00:48:27Let's go head through the forest.
00:48:30To Lake Cusquil.
00:48:33Just that.
00:48:34I'll locate Sukhbahtar to receive further instructions.
00:48:40Sukhbahtar.
00:48:41The only ship in the Mongolian Navy stationed 2,000 kilometers from the nearest coastline.
00:48:48This is the lake, so let's just...
00:48:50I'm leaving it.
00:48:51You grab your bag, you're going to leave it here.
00:48:52I'm leaving it.
00:48:53You leave it at the top.
00:48:54So that's the forest.
00:48:55That's the lake.
00:48:55It must be down to the pier.
00:48:57Sukhbahtar.
00:48:57Maybe like that port.
00:48:59Yeah, Hurricane is the port.
00:49:00Whoa!
00:49:01Ah!
00:49:02Ah!
00:49:03Ah!
00:49:04I'm going to stop.
00:49:06Whoa!
00:49:08No!
00:49:12Whoa!
00:49:18Why are you galloping?
00:49:20Whoa!
00:49:22Oh, you said I'm wearing your bloody backpack.
00:49:26Well, this is effective.
00:49:28Katie, what are you doing?
00:49:29It's no good, man.
00:49:31Oh, it.
00:49:33Katie.
00:49:35Oh, my Jesus.
00:49:39Keep going, keep going.
00:49:41I'm coming for you.
00:49:43Oh, that's sick.
00:49:49It's good, Baktar.
00:49:51Wonder, is that the boat?
00:49:52Is that the boat?
00:49:55Supertar.
00:49:57Supertar.
00:49:59Sokka Baktar.
00:50:00Is it a boat, lad?
00:50:01These boats look abandoned.
00:50:05Let's just follow the lake a bit.
00:50:06You sure?
00:50:07Yeah.
00:50:10I think that's a boat.
00:50:11I'm going to take a chance on it.
00:50:13Great.
00:50:13Let's get through here.
00:50:18Oh, my God.
00:50:20Her boat is called Supertar.
00:50:22Yeah, Daddy, that's in here.
00:50:23This must be it, Molly.
00:50:25Take a vehicle to Camp Ashey High
00:50:27and proceed along the Spit to sign in at the finish line.
00:50:30Okay.
00:50:31The Spit is a long finger on land, Molly.
00:50:35Break it.
00:50:36We need to find a car.
00:50:37I have no clue.
00:50:40The only thing I can see is the only thing I can see is...
00:50:42I think it's the boat.
00:50:43Just check before we leave.
00:50:45Oh, you're having a joke.
00:50:46We're wasting time, you know.
00:50:48Hello.
00:50:49Would you be able to drive me somewhere?
00:50:50I'm scared.
00:50:51Yes.
00:50:53Are you?
00:50:53Are you?
00:50:54Are you?
00:50:54Are you?
00:50:57There it is.
00:50:58How are you, lad?
00:51:00Put our fours.
00:51:01This is it, Molly.
00:51:02This is it.
00:51:03This is it.
00:51:04Look at this.
00:51:05My God, this is beautiful, isn't it?
00:51:06Can you drive?
00:51:08Can you drive?
00:51:09It's good, sir.
00:51:09It's actually, bye.
00:51:10Sick.
00:51:11I hope we're first.
00:51:12I really hope we're first.
00:51:14We couldn't have moved any faster.
00:51:15We've not seen any team since arriving here, so we have no idea if we're first, second,
00:51:19third or fourth.
00:51:21This is it.
00:51:22This is eight weeks in the making.
00:51:23This is Palermo, Fiscado, Istanbul, Georgia, everything.
00:51:27Everywhere we've been to police is just all in one for this moment.
00:51:31You all right?
00:51:32Yeah, I'll be fine, Mark.
00:51:34Ready to go.
00:51:34Ready to go.
00:51:36You all right.
00:51:37Go there.
00:51:37Thank you, thank you.
00:51:44Let's go.
00:51:46You ready?
00:51:47Do I leave the bags here?
00:51:48Yeah, here.
00:51:50Let's go.
00:51:51That is a fit, isn't it?
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:53Final sprint.
00:51:54Let's go.
00:51:55Marley, keep on going.
00:51:57Oh, Marley, come on, kiddo.
00:51:59Keep going, Casey.
00:51:59Well done.
00:52:00Oh, my God.
00:52:02It's not far to go.
00:52:05I don't like these footprints in the snow.
00:52:10Is Andrew Marley?
00:52:12Don't say it is.
00:52:14Come on, kid.
00:52:16All right, see you, Marley.
00:52:21Come on.
00:52:22Let's go.
00:52:23Let's go.
00:52:24I see you, Katie.
00:52:25I'm coming!
00:52:27Marley, we've done it.
00:52:29Oh.
00:52:30This is it, bro.
00:52:31Come on.
00:52:36Come on.
00:52:36I love you.
00:52:36I love you.
00:52:38Together.
00:52:39Come on.
00:52:39We've done it all the way together.
00:52:41Finish together.
00:52:42Come here.
00:52:44Come here.
00:52:45Come here.
00:52:59Come here.
00:53:00And 20 seconds.
00:53:04I don't want to turn it over.
00:53:07I don't want to do it, lad.
00:53:08This is afternoon torture.
00:53:10All right.
00:53:13You ready?
00:53:15Oh, bro, we should do it.
00:53:19Three, two, one.
00:53:23Oh, my God.
00:53:24Oh, my God.
00:53:26Oh, my God.
00:53:26Oh, my God.
00:53:26Oh, my God.
00:53:33Yeah.
00:53:37I can't put it into words, bro.
00:53:43That's how I feel, bro.
00:53:45You've done it, bro.
00:53:46You've done it, bro.
00:53:46You've done it.
00:53:47The dream from the start was opening the final book and seeing it empty.
00:53:53When it actually happened, it's hard to get my head around it, you know?
00:53:56You're acting, bro.
00:53:59And I hope we did Liverpool proud.
00:54:00Big old Scouts.
00:54:01First win for Liverpool.
00:54:02That's what I was talking about.
00:54:05We're second.
00:54:07We're second.
00:54:13Fair play to the boys.
00:54:15Yeah.
00:54:15Congratulations to the boys.
00:54:17We had a tough final leg.
00:54:19Going to the wrong Jargaland is the reason we're second.
00:54:22But it is, it is.
00:54:23What time is it?
00:54:241.27.
00:54:25We're third.
00:54:27We're three hours behind the lads.
00:54:29What an achievement.
00:54:30I didn't actually physically think we were going to make it.
00:54:32Oh, we did it.
00:54:33We did it.
00:54:40Well done, the finish line.
00:54:42Now the rest.
00:54:47Third.
00:54:48We won.
00:54:50We caught up 18 hours.
00:54:52Pretty good going.
00:54:53We couldn't have done this any better, this leg, and we've made it to Hat Gal.
00:54:57We literally couldn't have done it any quicker.
00:54:59And we've done it together.
00:55:01Yeah.
00:55:02I could still just like cry with pride and joy that we're here.
00:55:06Yeah.
00:55:06Yeah.
00:55:07Oh, I'm back in the snow.
00:55:08Oh.
00:55:09It's done.
00:55:11It's done.
00:55:12Oh, my God.
00:55:16Race you back to Italy?
00:55:17Yeah.
00:55:32Oh.
00:55:34Whoa.
00:55:35Careful.
00:55:37His ass is over there.
00:55:39Oh, my God.
00:55:40Epic.
00:55:41Absolutely epic.
00:55:42Let's do it together, Mark.
00:55:43All together.
00:55:46Wow.
00:55:48Okay, Margot.
00:55:49Yes.
00:55:51Congratulations.
00:55:52You have successfully reached the finish line.
00:55:54Please sign in, Nobelief, to find out if you've won the race.
00:55:56We haven't.
00:55:57We haven't.
00:55:58We haven't.
00:55:58But let's see who has.
00:55:59Okay.
00:55:59One, two, three.
00:56:02Joe and Kush.
00:56:03Oh, well done, Joe and Kush.
00:56:05That is amazing, isn't it?
00:56:07A fun time.
00:56:07Well done, boys.
00:56:08Oh, we've done it, Margot.
00:56:10Yeah.
00:56:1151.
00:56:12And...
00:56:12What is it?
00:56:1317?
00:56:151715?
00:56:16What an experience.
00:56:17What a journey.
00:56:18I couldn't do it without you, Mark.
00:56:20A true friend.
00:56:21A true friend.
00:56:21A true friend.
00:56:22And Julie would be really proud of us, wouldn't she?
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26We've had that one once.
00:56:27I know, she would be.
00:56:30She's so proud.
00:56:31She would, absolutely, yeah.
00:56:33I feel wonderful.
00:56:35A great achievement, isn't it?
00:56:37Brilliant.
00:56:37You're absolutely thrilled.
00:56:38There are times when we didn't think we'd make it.
00:56:40And we've made it.
00:56:41And we are just so happy, aren't we?
00:56:43Yes.
00:56:44We haven't won the race, but we've won our race.
00:56:47And we...
00:56:48We've come in fashionably late.
00:56:53Here's to you, Julia, wherever you are.
00:56:55Yeah.
00:56:56Who inspired us.
00:56:57Who inspired us.
00:56:59Thank you, Julia.
00:57:00Yeah.
00:57:00Thank you, Julia!
00:57:03She's laughing.
00:57:05She's saying, go and get yourself a drink.
00:57:06Oh, yes.
00:57:07You deserve it.
00:57:08You mad fools.
00:57:18Right, who wants a bowl of the local drink?
00:57:21Normally, at home, a bowl of vodka would be considered unclassy.
00:57:26But it's local, so it's okay.
00:57:29Hello!
00:57:30Here we are!
00:57:32We've arrived!
00:57:33Well done, boys.
00:57:34Well done.
00:57:35You both deserve it.
00:57:36You both deserve it.
00:57:37We're absolutely thrilled to have finished, just to get to that finishing point.
00:57:44It's just been an amazing journey.
00:57:46It has.
00:57:47We have had magical times, haven't we?
00:57:48We have, yeah.
00:57:50We did the race to forge a friendship.
00:57:52And well done what we set out to achieve.
00:57:56It's been brilliant being with you on the race.
00:57:58You've kept me going, and that's what true friends do.
00:58:00It's not a given you get to Hapgal.
00:58:03The fact that we've all got here is insane.
00:58:05I'm sad.
00:58:06I could do this forever.
00:58:08We have just been on such an adventure of different places, cultures, people.
00:58:13The fact that we've travelled from boiling hot Italy through eight countries, it's so sick.
00:58:20Get in.
00:58:20We've definitely got closer.
00:58:22We can be more open with each other.
00:58:24Bursting with pride.
00:58:26By God, what an achievement.
00:58:27What a buzz.
00:58:28Amazing to finish it.
00:58:29Amazing to get here in this beautiful place.
00:58:30Such a journey.
00:58:31This is the hardest thing I've ever done.
00:58:34Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:58:35But it's also one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
00:58:38We're a good team and we worked hard.
00:58:41I always knew I was an overthinker, but now I can see that that isn't my benefit.
00:58:47She's well capable.
00:58:48So proud of her.
00:58:49And it's been amazing.
00:58:50It's been so fun.
00:58:52What about you boys coming first?
00:58:54It's so hard to explain this feeling.
00:58:56I'm actually gutted it's over now.
00:58:57That's so true.
00:58:58It's been unbelievable.
00:59:00Everywhere we've gone has made an impact on us and changed our perspective.
00:59:04Wow.
00:59:05It's been a test.
00:59:06We're just two Scouts kids.
00:59:08But I think this has proved we are more than capable.
00:59:11We've grown a lot.
00:59:12I think we've learned a lot.
00:59:13The kids have been exposed to so much.
00:59:16And having Joe there, thank you so much for keeping me here.
00:59:19What are you saying?
00:59:20Bro, I love you so much.
00:59:22Yeah, I'm a real one.
00:59:24Love you, bro.
00:59:26A big congratulations.
00:59:28A big well done.
00:59:29Well done, everybody.
00:59:30Well done, well done.
00:59:30Well done.
00:59:32To the boys.
00:59:34Well done.
00:59:36Well done.
00:59:37Do you want more vodka?
00:59:39Yes, please.
00:59:39I'm on my second, so...
00:59:49I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:51I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:52I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:53I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:53I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:54I'm so excited to see them.
00:59:54The gloves are off, bro.
00:59:56You said from the first, we're seriously in it to win it.
00:59:59But quite quickly, you were like...
01:00:00The amount of people needed to get 10 idiots to race across the world is insane.
01:00:04Woo-hoo!
01:00:06As soon as they're 10 minutes away, then we're action stations.
01:00:09You need to get everyone in position.
01:00:11Let me tell them everything's fine.
01:00:12Copy that, we're rolling.
01:00:13You can just do whatever you want.
01:00:15Hop your phone down and actually listen to people.
01:00:18I've got a question for everyone.
01:00:20Would you do it again?
01:00:50You were right away.
