Some of you may think you know what hell looks like.

Get up!

You have no idea.

With former soldiers of six of the world's toughest special forces

we've created the ultimate military boot camp.

To help shed light on the unique selection methods of these units.

For 12 days, 29 of Britain's fittest civilians will take this on.

There's something about competition.

This is the nearest thing to my desire to be completely mullered.

Special forces is the biggest, the most extreme challenge, I think

that's out there, you know,

when you think special forces you think superheroes, really.

Go. Go!

I'm Freddie Flintoff. As an elite sportsman

I know that it takes grit and determination to be the best.

That's it.

I'll help understand their battle. Keep going then, use it.

And cheer them on every punishing step.

As our raw recruits attempt

to push themselves beyond the physical and psychological limits.

Only the very best will survive.

Go home now.

Taking them through hell are former officers from the US Navy Seals...

We were brought over to weed out the weak.

Up! Down!

..the Australian SAS...

- You've got the determination? - Yes, sir.

- The will to want to continue? - Yes, sir.

You sure?

..Russia's Spetsnaz....

- Oh, shit. - You are bleeding, you are dying!

Put your hands up!

..Israel's Yamam...

- Are you quitting? - No.

- Can you survive it? Yes or no. - Yes, sir.

..Navsog from the Philippines...

Back to zero!

..and, of course, Britain's SAS.

Only then will the final winner emerge,

on Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week.

This is it, let the fun begin.

Episode 1x01 US Navy Seals Original Air Date on August 30, 2015

Deep in the heart of the Welsh countryside, our fresh-faced

recruits have just arrived.

They are some of the toughest amateur athletes in the country.

I've been doing obstacle racing for about a year and a half,

and probably considered the fastest female obstacle racer

in the UK at the moment.

I expect a ride to hell and back,

Been told, "Dean, why on earth would you want to do that?"

I like a challenge.

Every 48 hours, our recruits will face a different special-forces veteran.

First up, the US Navy Seals.

There are some people here that you can't see them

getting past the first day.

Chomping at the bit now, I just want to get on with it. There are lots

of people who talk the talk and now we'll see if they walk the walk.

Every 48 hours, our recruits will face a different

special-forces veteran.

First up is the US Navy Seals.

How is everyone?

- Good, sir. - Great.

We understand the process that it took just for you all to be here.

We both know that you are UK's best.

But something that you guys need to understand is

we don't give a shit what you or you or any one of you have

done in your life.

We were brought over here for one reason,

and one reason alone.

To weed out the weak.

The people that aren't going to make it.

I shit you not, I'm going to have half of you gone

before you blink an eye.

My name is Ray Care, I served with the Seal Teams for 12 years.

My primary functions were freefall jump master and I was also

a kill house instructor, so I did dynamic room entries.

Established in 1962, Navy Seals stands for "sea, air and land".

They're now most famous for killing Osama Bin Laden in 2011.

My name's Woodie Mister. My first combat experience was

an invasion of Panama.

And I went on from there through the '90s

and into the new war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The training they're overseeing is based on part of the real

Navy Seals recruitment process, called Hell Week.

They have no clue what's coming, everybody's going to suffer.

When I ask you a question, you will respond with "hooyah".

You're in my battlefield now, do you understand me?

Hooyah!

The next two days, our Navy Seals will be watching the recruits' every move.

Anyone who fails to impress Ray

and Woodie are at risk and could be sent home on the final parade.

Obviously, I've had to up my training for this, I really want to do well.

I've never quit at anything. Even if I'm the last one dragging

myself behind everyone, I don't care.

As long as I finish it, I won't quit.

There are no women allowed in the Navy Seals

so having female recruits in this process is a unique test.

There are certain things that men should do

and certain things that women should do - being a Navy Seal

and going through Navy Seal training is not one of them.

I think there are a lot of roles in the military for women

that they can do, we have pilots, we have divers,

but, like I've told women before, stay in your lane.

Some people would say that females are the weaker sex,

so I just hope that during this contest I might learn some fighting

skills so that I can kick them in the right place to respond to that.

Woodie doesn't talk much but he has a gift of knowing who has

what it takes. Woodie, I'd like you to pick me out a class leader.

That's easy.

Miller.

Sound off with your name.

Miller.

- Shout it out. - Miller!

Front and centre, move, move! Right there.

Myself and Woodie will give you orders

and you will pass that word. You screw this up, it falls on you.

Now I want you to watch what happens when you fail me.

Drop down!

Heads up, back straight, you just got here.

And you're shaking like a dog shitting a peach seed.

I want push-ups, halfway down.

Guys, during Hell Week, we stay awake for five days straight.

- Five days. - Five days. - Five days.

You're going to be cold, you're going to be wet,

you're going to be hungry,

you're going to be tired and I am physically going to

beat the living shit out of each and every one of you.

Down, up!

One!

- Down, up! - Two.

You'd better wait for me, blondie! Down!

Muscles. 240lbs of solid muscle,

can you swim, can you swim?

Hooyah, sir.

Cos you can't do push-ups to save your ass.

Throughout their section, Ray and Woodie will note not just

the physical, they'll also test for mental and emotional strength.

I can take authority but it's very difficult

when it's quite an aggressive nature, and someone's about two inches from

your face. Sometimes I can be known to fly off the handle a little bit

but it's all part of the challenge, so I do know one thing, that if you

let your mind get the better of you, your body... your body will just fold.

On your feet!

Come on.

The lines they're stood in have been split into boat crews,

the teams they'll be in for the next two days.

You need to know where each one of your team-mates are at all times.

You two look at each other, you two look at each other, do that all the way down.

In Seals training, the pairing of recruits is called

the Dive Buddy System.

It comes from their underwater origins

and is designed to start building an unbreakable bond.

Flowers, turn the other way!

And you can never be farther than... How far is it, Woodie?

- Six feet. - Six feet.

These guys have got 15 minutes to no-shit get these tents together.

- Uh-huh. - Right?

One of the crew's going to build theirs on that side and three and four on that side.

When I'm done I'm going to turn around and I'm going to tell you to make it happen

and I'm telling you, you better be a fucking leader

and you better make this happen or I'm going to hammer you.

Make it happen!

OK, guys, listen in. I want boat crews one and two to

create their tents over on that side, boat crews three and four on that side.

We've got 15 minutes to do this. If you follow, give me a hooyah.

Hooyah!

- Great stuff. - Leave your gear where it is, go!

The tent building is all about the Seals' number-one priority,

teamwork.

Throughout the test, the recruits will need to stay

within six foot of their designated dive buddy at all times.

Keep together...

Mate, that was a baptism of fire.

Is this how it is or are you egging this up for the cameras a bit?

Is this how it is in the Seals?

You're getting maybe 100th of a 10th of what we do.

In Seal training, it's six months long, we're taking civilians

and we're putting them into a scenario which would

basically be about the first day of Hell Week and the first day of Buds.

Buds being Basic Underwater Demolition Seal.

And it's intense,

so, yeah, I don't think they know which way is up, left, right.

Guys, we need to get the base first before you even use this,

there's no point in putting this on, we need the base first.

I'm going to need another leg, a leg one, the one with the base.

It's going to break you physically, break you mentally.

They're going to be throwing absolutely everything at us

including the kitchen sink, hopefully we deal with it well.

That's the centre one, that's the centre one, isn't it?

They are going to be hell on earth, but actually at the end of it

the achievement I'm going to feel through that is going to be immense.

Ah, the organisation is not going that great.

Push this through, because we've got a time limit

and obviously no instructions.

Could you maybe go and just help these guys?

"I'm not completely comfortable with being leader

on the first day, I think it's a difficult position to be put in."

Everyone's trying really hard, it's not a lack of effort, it's just we're all a bit pressured.

Let's go, guys. Let's go.

With the tents up, Ray's given Miller ten minutes to split

the recruits and have them change into uniform.

OK, ladies, this side, gentlemen, this side.

- T-shirt on first. - Where's your swim buddy?

Hunter. Is Hunter in there?

He needs to come out.

Recruit Brookes is being punished for breaking

the golden rule of the Seals' dive buddy system.

Hunter, unfortunately you've got to come out here. I think Brookes

has got a forfeit for leaving your side.

Apparently, when we were dismissed, we've still got to stay

within six foot.

"Fairly nothing too physically demanding at the moment",

just the arduous task of having to put up with

Americans for the next 48 hours, so that's the biggest difficulty.

Probably got a combined IQ of about three.

Tuck your T-shirts in, get your cami tops on.

Lace up your boots and get in formation.

Woodie, are we good?

I think so, Ray,

they're starting to look a little bit more like... tadpoles to me.

You've gotten a taste, a small taste of what's coming.

So here's what I want you guys to do,

I want you guys to eat good tonight, I want you to get some sleep because

at eight o'clock it's coming. And you guys had better be ready, all right?

Class leader.

- Hooyah. - You're dismissed.

Initial thoughts, I was not impressed.

Capability-wise, I think a majority have maybe what it takes to

get by, but mentally right now I don't see it.

If I was a betting man, I see maybe one or two people that can make it

through this block of training.

How much do you believe this eight o'clock thing?

We're going to be up at fucking 1.30, running round.

- Take the man at his word. - Eight o'clock, who... That's a liar.

The recruits have met the American Navy Seals, Ray and Woodie,

and I think they're starting to realise they are going to get a proper beating.

We'll just have to see how they go.

It's nearly 10pm, and the recruits are having their first meal.

I've got 21-day-aged steak in here, seasoned with the finest spices

from all corners of the earth.

During the real Hell Week, recruits can burn

up to 15,000 calories a day, five times more than regular people.

They don't know it yet,

but this will be the recruits' last meal for the next 24 hours.

So good.

Normal circumstances, I would think this is disgusting!

Like, "I'm never eating this!"

It's almost time for lights out.

Where's your tent, mate?

But Recruit Brookes is having

chest pains and has called in the medics.

Can you breathe out for me?

He hasn't even done anything strenuous at this point.

Despite being told he can continue, Brookes has told the medical team

he wants to go home.

- Are you going, Brookes? - Yeah, I'm going.

Don't really want to, but... I start tomorrow,

if I had to do 50 press-ups I wouldn't be able to do them, so...

Brookes. On the bell.

Talk to me.

I've got a pre-existing injury,

and today, even just doing those push-ups,

I could barely hold my own body weight, which is unlike me,

and it's just aggravated it now to the point it's painful.

- You're not only quitting yourself, you're quitting your team. - Yeah.

Are you 100% sure this is what you want to do?

- I am, yes. - Everybody out! Get out of your tents now.

Get some shoes on.

Does everybody know what this is?

It's our bell, that's right.

Do you know what it represents? Failure.

I can't stand the meaning of it or people that ring it.

Brookes has decided to leave us.

Brookes, do you want to explain to them why you're leaving,

you have about four words, go ahead.

Uh, pre-existing injury, aggravated today.

That's it. He's hurt, he's not injured. Big difference.

If that's what you want to do, ring the bell.

Leave your gear, we'll get it.

Move out, Brookes, move out.

- Get out of here. - Go.

Your legs aren't injured.

There's a saying we have, and I want you guys to listen to me -

die first, then quit.

Do you understand me?

Hooyah!

As I was walking out, the one said that I

lacked honour and integrity, which is bizarre coming from

a nation that have massacred God knows how many Afghans and Iraqi

women and children.

But also, yeah, the fact is there is an injury

there, and I'm not going to risk serious injury for this process.

With Brookes gone, the recruits are hoping for a good night's sleep,

they've been told to expect Ray and Woodie at 8am.

Night, Jimbo.

I will see all you handsome men in the morning.

It's one in the morning and our new recruits have only

had two hours' sleep but they're about to be woken up

special forces style.

Get the fuck up! Get up!

Get out here! Get out there!

Squat down, everybody!

Get me a headcount!

Now! On your belly.

- On your belly! - On your backs!

The chaos they've been thrown into is used in the real

Seal training on the first night of Hell Week. They call it Breakout.

Where is his dive buddy, where is his dive buddy? Get in the water.

Get your head under the water, get back up.

Get back in line.

Get that face in the water.

It's designed to jolt recruits out of their comfort zone

and start to test their mental and physical strength.

When they get done here today, whether you believe it or not,

they'll be a changed person.

The goal is to get everybody through it, and we've got to start

somewhere, we've got to put confidence in their head.

It's the fastest way to do it, to make them miserable.

Get wet, get wet, get wet!

Do it for the Queen.

Move. Move.

You're a complete idiot, I told you just to do it twice.

You're a complete idiot, Lacey.

- Move. - We're getting beasted.

We'd better come to his commands, do whatever he tells us to do.

Move your ass! Move your ass! Come on, coal miner. Get him wet.

Pretty overwhelmingly emotional, actually. I don't know why, it's...

I'm shaking and everything. Hardcore, really hardcore.

I'm going to get back in it, I don't want to get taken out.

I'm really cold.

It's constant shouting and press-ups

and just everything is going through my head at the moment.

In the real selection process, around 25% of recruits make it

to the end of Hell Week.

We do this until somebody quits, let's do this

until somebody quits, let's go.

Come on, let's go. You're not tired, you're not tired.

I'm not sure how you prepare for this,

all these are, like, really fit people, but this is, like, something

I've never seen, they've never seen, and we're only about half-hour in.

Down. Down. Down.

Down. Down.

Got them in position.

Tell them on your feet, you'd better say it like you got a set.

On your feet!

Wipe the grass off your face real quick.

Ah, you're looking good, looking good.

Breakout may appear chaotic,

but each section is carefully choreographed.

They are now switching

the tone and pace to affect the psychology of the recruits.

What are you going to sing for us?

Do you have any requests?

Do I look like a person that has any requests?

Turn around and sing it.

If you don't sing it well, your swim buddy is going to pay.

♪ It's amazing how you can see right... ♪

Everybody watch me.

Come on.

♪ ..light up the stars... ♪

Everybody!

♪ Try as I may, I can never explain... ♪

What the fuck are you singing? Do you know this? Sing it.

- Let's do this. - Sing it!

♪ The smile on your face lets me know that you need me ♪

♪ There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me... ♪

All right.

♪ The touch of your hands says you'll catch me... ♪

- Sing it. - I don't know the lyrics.

I'll take your word.

The significance of singing songs is important. Why?

Because what are they thinking about right now? They're thinking about

the cold, they're thinking about the pain, they're thinking about

their hands are freezing, so we take their mind off it and we send

them to a happy place cos it's all psychological, it's all mental,

and the best thing to do is start singing a stupid song and shadow-boxing.

Now's everybody's happy, they won't be happy for long.

I don't think you're cold enough. You two, in the water.

Just behind all the recruits, they're getting med-checked.

Every now and then the medics will go in,

they'll look in their eyes, ask 'em a few questions.

Just check they're doing all right.

I think throughout this the medics are probably going to be the busiest people,

cos these are extreme conditions they're training in.

Sit down. Right, what's your name?

Owen.

Are you cold?

Fucking freezing.

The medical team are working to prevent

the recruits from becoming hypothermic.

If their body temperature drops below 32 degrees it may

become life-threatening.

That was some scary fucking shit.

Got fucking grenades going off in my fucking head.

30 minutes in, and with the air temperature close to freezing,

Simpson is the fifth recruit to be sent to the warming tent

behind Beavan, who is already suffering from mild hypothermia.

What's wrong?

You want to go or you want to stay?

I can't imagine going back out there again.

Why not? Everybody else is out there.

It's just beaten me at the moment. The cold.

You want to go, too?

At the moment I feel like I want to go, cos I'm so cold,

I can't picture myself going out there and jumping in the water again.

I mean, this is just a little baby pool.

Why do you think there's only like 2,000 of us ever?

People like me have no problem with spending days

and days in the cold and the dark, for five minutes of putting

a bullet in someone's brain so that no-one else has to do it.

I don't have a problem with that.

I told you we're going to put uncertainty into your life

and uncertainty creates fear.

Well, what's fear? It's a choice.

So, you just have to make that choice.

All right, folks, so get up.

Guys, all around the bell.

Lock arms, get warm. We're here again, all right?

I told you what this means, we're going to say it one more time,

this bell is a symbol of failure,

you're not only quitting yourself, you're quitting what?

The team.

The team, that's right.

Think about what's happened

and try to imagine what's about to come.

Playtime's over,

you're going to be colder, you're going to be more tired

and you're going to be hungry,

and if all of you don't hate me right now,

as God is my witness, we will not be on your Christmas list.

Does anybody want to ring the bell?

Come on.

- No-one wants to ring the bell. - No, seriously, just one.

- No fucking chance. - No-one's ringing the bell.

Get back in your order!

They had their chance.

Breakout's finished, but the training's just begun.

They've been given five minutes to change clothes before leaving the camp.

We have no idea where we're going to next.

It's decision time for the remaining recruits in the warming tent.

Hand on, put a hand on, get a hand over, get a hand over here.

Who's staying and who's leaving, who's coming with me?

If you're coming with me, take your hand off.

You leaving me?

I can't get any colder.

I'm going to go.

- Which way are you going? - I'm coming with you.

All right.

I'm not, I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it.

No, I'm not doing it, I'm... I'm weak.

Tracy, come on.

No, I can't, I'm not in a good place.

Are you going to take that on?

Yes.

Grab the bell.

Get back in the tent.

Strap it in, stick that on right now before you do anything,

stick that jacket on.

How do you feel, Owen, do you want to carry on?

Yeah, man, just cold.

- Cold. - Put that jacket on as quick as you can.

Owen's in there, he's shivering, he's shaking.

Ray said at the start, he said Navy Seals training, they drop like flies,

the first bit's the hardest.

I'm guessing it gets a lot worse than this.

Owen and Simpson will have to work twice as hard now,

they're on Ray and Woodie's radar.

I'm still feeling a bit on the edge but I'm going to give this a go

and see how... what... what happens.

I can take it one step at a time and see how I do.

I've never seen anything like this in my life before.

What was the point of all that, what are you looking for in people?

The main element that we're trying to do and accomplish here is

we're trying to find weaknesses, how far we can push them.

The caveat to that is we're willing to see

and we want to see them work as a team.

I saw it with about two people. Like I said, when we bring out

the humour, it works, when people are at their lowest point that's

when they disassociate and they isolate themselves.

So what we're looking for and why we're going to do this again is

we want to see if there's a difference.

What about class leader Miller?

She is one of the toughest gals I've ever met but - there's the but -

the water and the elements are kicking her ass.

I don't know, it's hard, and I think anything I do

I'm going to be told is rubbish, um, so I guess in the back of my mind

I'm just trying to tell myself that they're going to tell me that

however good or bad I am, and just try and do the best I can.

It's going to be tough because, ah,

I've got this stupid-arse dry cough and it's just annoying.

Yeah, this is the start of... of hell.

12 hours since the Navy Seals experience began,

and the transport has arrived... It's time to move to the next phase.

The recruits have been given strict orders to stay awake.

Operating under extreme sleep deprivation is

a key part of Seals training.

The bad news is I think it's about to get a lot worse.

We're at the beach, which is the Navy Seals' natural habitat.

They also have a saying which is, "The ocean makes cowards of us all."

In real Hell Week, recruits stay on the beach for five days

but today they have just ten intense hours to impress Ray

and Woodie, or risk being sent home.

Knackered, man, it's hard. Me eyes.

How much sleep did you get?

I didn't, we weren't allowed to kip on the coach or anything,

kept awake, so, yeah, I'm hanging, man, I'm struggling.

It's going to be an interesting day, I think.

So you're smiling.

It's a manic... It's a manic smile.

A smile that you... you face... when you face death face on.

The Seals trace their water-based missions back to their early

forefathers in the US Navy, who destroyed the Nazi sea defences

before the Normandy landings.

Formed 20 years later, they're still active in amphibious operations,

including the most recent Afghan and Iraq wars.

They're the guys that

you call when you want somebody to go out in the freezing cold water,

deep under, that's where you don't want to go and that's the least likely place

to suspect somebody popping up and taking care of business.

That's who they are.

At the beach, Ray and Woodie

will need to be in full control of the extreme test

to come, so Miller's responsibility to lead has been reduced.

The tests, or evolutions, are designed to simulate

the stress of combat situations.

We're here, we're in our playground, all right? This is what we do,

this is the foundation of being a Navy Seal.

You guys wanted a taste of it, shit's about to get real.

The sea is unforgiving, she's a bitch, and I love her, so at this

time we're going to learn how to pay our respects to the ocean and we're

going to pay our respects to the ocean until the sun goes down tonight. Link arms!

First developed in World War II,

surf torture is a unique training device used by the Seals.

Follow me.

They're looking for recruits whose will can be broken by the cold

and fear of the water.

Push-up position.

Which is a chilling ten degrees.

Heads up.

Down... up! That's one.

Down... up!

You'd better put your face in the water.

What are you doing, Pounder? You're just laying there like a log.

Get up, get the legs up.

Down! Now, now, listen for me, we're going to do five again, down.

Surf torture is just a terrible experience.

The water literally starts to break you down slowly, the sand

gets in your nose, in your eyes. You know, it's just water, but it's

funny how you can lay a person down in the sand when the water's coming

over their face and make them do push-ups and it'll drive them crazy.

Let's see if they can get past crazy.

Low crawl.

- Keep it moving. - Now watch his face, this is my favourite.

Grenade!

Get your head down in the water.

Brutal, isn't it?

The water is so cold, it's first thing in the morning,

they're doing press-ups first in the ocean,

they're crawling through the water, some of them there's more

meat on a dirty fork, there's nothing on 'em, they're shivering.

It's freezing, so packing everybody in like this just keeps us warm,

keeps morale high and keeps us going, really.

In real Hell Week, it's said the testing is often only 10% physical

and 90% is in the mind of the recruits.

Down!

I know it burns and I know it stings,

we've been there, we've done that.

Power through it - we did, you can. Down!

It's too cold, I can't do this.

Will you stop, what is wrong with you?

Get control of yourself. Wipe that tear away. All right.

I just can't face being that cold again.

For sure, you're skinny, you don't have any protection.

The coldness starts to make your limbs cold,

that's how people die, that's how people get hypothermia,

that's why you got to keep it moving, keep that heart pumping.

Remember what I said about fear, it's a choice, don't choose it.

Get up!

I'm not going to do this game every two minutes.

- One, two, three. - One!

It's starting to get tough.

This is what they mean, it's not physical, it's mental.

But Simpson is not the only one who's struggling,

Lacey is clearly suffering from the cold,

and Pounder - he's come to the attention of Ray and Woodie.

Does everybody here hate me yet?

Hooyah!

Better. Follow me.

You're walking like zombies.

The next section is part of a punishment-and-reward regime.

With no food for the last ten hours

and only two hours' sleep, the recruits are in for a treat.

Stand by to launch the sugar cookies.

Sugar cookies away!

Careful. There you go.

I want you two to go over here and I want you to do sand angels

until I'm done.

Grab him, he's dizzy.

They're cold beyond belief, and what we're

trying to do, we're trying to dry them out and warm them up.

They're borderline hypothermic now, they're on the edge.

Next! And what we've got to do is, like I said, we physically,

emotionally and psychologically break them down to the point where

there's no turning back.

Next! And then what we do is we bring them back up.

Either we do it with laughter or we do it with some sort of reward.

This is a reward. Next!

Recruit Cobb has hurt herself in the tumble.

The medical team have pulled her from the process with

a suspected back injury.

The rest of the recruits have been told to sit and wait

while she's examined.

Do you know we get so cold in Buds that we literally piss here

to keep each other warm? When guys are going out

we will literally pull down our pants, piss in our hand

and throw it in their face. That's the only thing you can do.

Just constant sleep deprivation,

we're lacking in food, you know,

they're wearing us down, really, you know,

and it all started the early hours of the morning.

It's continuous since then, you know.

How you feeling, Amy?

I've never felt that cold in my life.

Have you surprised yourself you're still here?

No, I'm surprised I'm feeling like this, I thought

I was really tough, so I'm cross with myself for being like this but

when I'm uncontrollably shaking there's not a lot I can really do.

I can't remember being or feeling this cold in my life,

I cannot remember it. It's not pleasant at all.

If it was done in Barbados, yes, it would be pleasant.

But it's not good news for Cobb.

You have a condition that has the potential to deteriorate

and get worse, you know, we've got

to make that judgment call, as much of a pisser as it is.

It's not your fault.

The medical team have taken the decision out of her hands.

And she's leaving the process.

20 hours into the Navy Seals training

and the recruits are moving on to the next test.

Dump boat evolutions are designed to test teamwork

under intense physical pressure.

Look at my foot, guys, look at this foot.

They'll have to flip the boat out at sea and turn it back upright again

before boarding and paddling to shore.

Makes sense?

This is nothing but a team-building exercise.

What's going to happen is the ocean

and the waves is going to pick the boat up, slam them down,

people are going to get thrown everywhere. They're going to have

to regroup, get back in the boat, work as a team and get back to us.

And your voice is starting to go a little bit,

too much shouting there, is it?

It's gone from shouting, it is, yes, sir,

but I've still got some juice left.

The first team is being led out to sea by Recruit Cherry.

Why would you want to push limits?

I sort of let myself slide over the last few years

and I turned... like, started being your average Joe, like going

down the pub, having a drink,

and just trying to sort me life out again.

The second boat crew is being led by Lacey, whose struggle with

the cold has put him on the Seals' watch list.

For me, it's all going to be about mental strength,

I really do feel the cold and I do tend to beat meself up quite a bit

if I don't achieve what I want to achieve.

I want you to listen to me.

I want you guys screaming like a bunch of Vikings

until you hit that water, I want success, don't come back

until your mission's completed.

Launch, launch, launch.

Yeah, I want you going yeahhhhhhhhhhh!

You ready? Go get them.

Yeah!

Put your weight on your front leg.

Boat training is one of the most physically demanding

tests of Hell Week.

When they do this for real it's even more extreme.

And at the end they ask one last question -

is this recruit tough enough to be in our team?

Handles! Three... two...

one!

Yeah, that's how you do it.

Come on.

With their boat successfully flipped

and back onshore, it's mission accomplished for Cherry's team.

Gentlemen, that's a hell of a job.

Hooyah! Hooyah.

We had to push ourselves to the limit.

I took a couple of mouthfuls of salt water, pushed meself to the maximum

and they say you ain't pushed yourself to the limit

if you ain't been sick, so I've done what I'm supposed to have done.

Lacey's team have also successfully flipped their boat.

Move. Run, run, run, run.

Lacey, by yourself, come here.

This is what I don't like,

I know you're tired and you're cold but when I give you an order -

listen to me - fucking stay focused. Look at me, stay focused.

- OK. - What's going on?

Hey, Woodie, can you get me a medic?

With no food inside him, Lacey's body is running on empty

and he's finding it hard to breathe.

He went off and I think he might have felt a bit faint or

something but, um, I'm sure he's going to be back with us,

he's a frigging tough cookie.

He's presenting potential warning signs for moderate hypothermia

and may need urgent medical attention.

Lacey clearly can't handle the cold

but I don't think Ray and Woodie are going to take it too kindly.

Having said that, I don't think he's the only one struggling out there.

I pulled my hip on my right-hand side and, um...

It's just making me a bit miserable, really.

I hope that the next... activities will be better.

The recruits are beginning to break under the pressure and

the medics are sending gymnast Owen home with an injury to his Achilles

tendon - he's the fourth recruit to have left in less than 21 hours.

All of a sudden I just can't... I'm like wincing to get my breath.

I don't know what's happened.

- Are you asthmatic? - No.

Can't stop my body from shaking.

Just feel like I want to vomit.

Do you know where you are?

I know I'm in Wales, yeah.

OK, I'm just going to take your temperature. Do you want to continue?

Once I can get my breath, yeah, I'd like to,

I don't really want to quit.

OK. All right, mate, if you can lie down on the bed, please.

My biggest challenge for this competition was always going to be

the cold, that's what I struggle with, yeah.

So if I can overcome it, it's a biggie for me.

Yet another recruit is in need of medical attention.

Any cracks, sprains?

Not really, cos I'm cold, I'm cold anyway, so I've not felt..

Hunter, a coal-carrying world champion from Yorkshire,

has smashed his leg on a rock.

Push against my hand, push off against my hand.

I've never had an injury in me life on anything,

but obviously things do happen.

Disappointing.

Gutted, really, so, not good.

With a suspected fracture,

if the swelling doesn't go down his future in the process is in doubt.

I'd run four miles for a KFC.

- I would as well. - That's about it.

Right now I could do with a curry.

Some nice music, some nice Indian music playing.

Mate, stop teasing.

It's been 14 hours since they last ate, and it's time for the next reward,

a ten-minute food break containing a measly 300 calories.

For a good job, your reward.

Help yourself to one bar and one drink.

It'll be another eight hours before their next proper meal.

You feeling all right?

I'm feeling all right, I'm just cold. Again. But I'm fine, yeah, I'm cool.

- Good? Food! - It's good.

It's funny when you've had nothing and you get the smallest thing.

The best thing I've ever eaten in my whole life!

What's wrong with you? You're cramping up.

All right, hold on. You're cramping up. Hey, I got Pounder.

Firefighter Pounder is breaking under the constant cold and hunger.

He's stretching and cramping.

Been doing it all day, all day, just getting more and more severe

and now it's just permanently there for the last 10, 15 minutes.

Pounder, I think that surf torture got the best of him

and I haven't seen him actually recover from it and I don't

think he's mentally and physically ready as he thought he would be.

But you know what, time will only tell.

This can happen all day long, you know what I mean,

it won't make me quit.

I'll take the advice that the medics will give me and

I'm sure they won't tell me that you need to go home because of cramp,

you know, that'd be pretty much, you know, sad and pitiful, really.

People, can you hear me?

We're going to be going down to the beach for another evolution.

Fucking bear-crawl into the middle of that water right now.

Bear-crawl into the water!

You too, Miller, you're part of this bullshit.

Get in the water, Pounder, goddammit!

I got sand in my eye,

I got sand in my ass crack, I'm sick of it.

The thought of returning to the sea has proved too much for Simpson.

I'm just absolutely freezing.

So are you pulling the plug?

Yeah...

Refusing to return to the beach means Simpson is out.

I feel very disappointed in myself and very cross with myself,

mainly because, as I said, I'm not a quitter.

But obviously I'd reached my limitations. I just couldn't face it.

Stand up, go, first one.

Log PT is some of the most dreaded evolutions in Seal training.

The objective is to find the weakest link.

Up, down!

Each log weighs up to 90 kilograms and must be lifted in unison.

On me, on me...

When the recruits are conducting Log PT,

if they don't do it as a team, they will quickly learn pain.

The weight of the log is a huge factor and they need to do it

in a perfect team fashion, in unison, for them to be successful.

Stop what you're doing. Stop what you're doing.

Stop what you're doing.

Pounder, you're the biggest dude here, get the bar up, get it up.

Centrifugal force is going to send you away if you don't pull down, that's why.

All right, three... up.

One leg up, one leg down.

Come on, Pounder, come on, son, come on, come on, mate.

After 11 hours on the beach, Recruit Pounder is still cramping up

and he's struggling to lift his share of the 90-kilo log.

It's just the cold, mate, it's just the cold, get through it,

you'll be good, you'll be good, mate.

I've been cramping all day, all day long.

Hey, come on, you can get through.

You can get through, you can get through it, come on.

Today's just been completely relentless,

it's been one thing after another, in the water, out of the water,

in the cold, now they're lugging logs round.

Ray said it was going to get hard,

he said we were going to start losing people,

four have gone, there's three in the medical tent,

so I don't know how many we'll be left with at the end of the day,

but any more of this, I can see a couple more going.

Up!

Down!

Back end to the left. Back end to the left.

It hasn't taken long for one more to go down.

Recruit Cherry has injured his knee.

How did you do it?

I went running down to the sea to get wet and my knee just popped.

Well, good luck.

The medics have told me that I'd be a fool to continue.

I'm fuming, fuming, really am.

Just genuinely, genuinely feel like

I had the chance of doing something good for once,

and just something stepped in the way, you know what I mean?

At the medic tent, Hunter's been told he can continue.

I think what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

And I'm not getting any younger so we shall carry on.

Lacey's recovered too and is eager to rejoin his team.

I feel a little bit more with it now, so, yeah, it was, uh...

like I said, I didn't want to take time out.

I don't like to, like, one, leave my buddy and, two, leave the crew,

erm, I feel quite guilty actually.

Enjoy.

Suck it up, boys.

Sit on your log, get some air, congratulate each other, good work.

Come on over where everybody's been busting their ass, come on.

Wait a minute, should we get these fuckers wet?

They just came back dry.

You're back in? Are you in or out? In or out, in or out?

I was never out. I said I didn't want to go to a medic,

didn't want to sit in a tent cos I don't want to leave my team,

I want to be supporting my team as well, not sitting in a tent.

Well, this is how you can prove it to me. Shut up, Lacey, relax,

you're getting all intense, and nobody cares.

- I care. - Yeah, well, that's great, I'm proud of you,

proud of your enthusiasm.

Now un-fuck yourself.

If you really care, the two of you are going to be swim buddies

and you're going to go down to that water and you're going to get wet

and you're going to come back and you're going to get in line

and you're going to stop being the little mad guy.

All right? Cos nobody cares, so go, let's go.

What the fuck? I don't care. Jeez.

With the final parade approaching,

Lacey's lost of temper could be a mistake he'll live to regret.

Helmets and life jackets off.

Exhausted and hungry, the recruits are moving onto the last phase.

This final task will test the recruits' team spirit.

After being monitored for 24 gruelling hours

it is now the final chance to impress.

Right, you happy to carry on?

But the oldest female recruit, Lycett, has been left behind.

Stand up, stand up.

Look at me, look at me, otherwise I'll pull you out, all right?

My husband was military, my son did a turn in the military,

this type of event appeals to me, erm...

Maybe it's because I want to feel a little bit

of what they've been through.

- Can I lie down? I feel a bit sick. - Yeah, lie down, lie down.

After nearly nice hours on the beach

Lycett is showing signs of physical exhaustion.

- She's still lying on the floor. - Where is she?

Are you absolutely adamant to kind of say,

"No, no, I'm pressing on"?

You're still with it, so the decision-making is still yours.

- How do you feel in yourself? - Another go, but...

You want to crack back on with them, yeah?

Yeah, I can't guarantee I'll...

We'd like to congratulate you for making it this far.

And this will be your last challenge with us.

Mission objective. You guys can see these orange little markers,

you'll touch the last marker, which is number seven,

you will then sprint back to the finish line,

where myself and Woodie will be waiting.

Time to beat, 18.30.

If you make the time, you move on. If you don't, you're going home.

Stand by. Three, two, one, go.

Go!

Now Ray's set the guys off on the final challenge of the day,

which is running down the sand dunes and then back down the beach.

They think it's a race

but what Ray's after is everyone finishing at the same time.

It's going to be interesting if the guys realise

all the things they've learnt today,

put their own egos to one side and finish as a team unit.

- Come on, two! - Keep going!

Keep it going, go on, keep it going, keep moving!

They ain't going to make it.

The recruits have less than three minutes to make the final sprint.

They'll need to sacrifice Lycett, or risk failing the time,

putting them all in jeopardy.

Well done, guys. Go, go, go, again.

1 minute 28 seconds.

You're not going to make the time, you idiots.

What I'm looking for is teamwork

and that's exactly what I'm seeing right now,

what they're willing to do, they've sacrificed their own personal goals

in order to make the team survive, and to win.

And that's what they're doing right now,

they're coming in linked up as one united front.

That's all we ask for.

We've done what we've come to do.

21, 20, 19, 18,

17, 16, 15, 14,

13, 12 seconds.

Get together!

Give me a head count.

13! 14! 15! 16! 17! 18! 19! 20!

21! 22! 23! And that's the full count.

I'll tell you what, guys, we're impressed. Mission accomplished.

Hooyah!

Tried to persuade the team to go without me

but they... they insisted on helping me round

and, you know, I'm in all their debts, they're just awesome.

Awesome, that was awesome. What an ending.

Nearly two days' torture, what an ending.

It's a massive relief not being team leader, yeah,

I felt a bit under pressure.

I feel like I can, for the first time, calm down.

It feels great, it feels good.

Boys, how does it feel now you've finished?

- It feels brilliant. - Does it?

I'm chuffed now, thrown into ice baths,

thrown into the ice-cold sea, doing cross-country hill runs,

lifting logs, you name it, and I'm still here.

It's time to head back to base. Fall out.

Move it out. Move it out, people.

The recruits have done an amazing job to get this far

but they still have to get past Ray and Woodie on the parade ground.

The recruits have survived two days of hell

but any one of them can still be sent home tonight.

Welcome, team. It sounds good, doesn't it?

You guys have had a very interesting last 36 hours.

In that time, we've watched you grow and progress.

Miller, you took on this responsibility

and we know you didn't want to, and you crushed it.

Lycett, you could have went to the medical tent,

instead you sucked it up, that's a hooyah from me to you.

With that said, I'm looking at two individuals

who are not meeting the current standard that we require.

Those two names are Pounder and Lacey.

Pounder, let's start with you,

you're very charismatic and you're very intelligent

but what we need is someone that's going to pull their weight.

A perfect example was today,

you could not hold your own weight on the log.

Number two, you're borderline medical warning,

can't trust that you're going to be able to move on

and not have issues and hold your boat crew, or your team, back.

Lacey, you cannot withstand the cold.

Number two, you're a man that wears your heart on your sleeve.

You've got a lot going on internally, brother, and we got that.

What I have a problem with is when you can't control them.

You showed weakness. There is no room here for weakness.

We're going to make our selection now.

Pounder.

You're dismissed.

Leave camp.

I don't accept their decision.

It's not right, I'm angry, yeah,

but I'll get over it, I'll move on.

I'm proud of my accomplishment. I got here, erm... I didn't fail,

I didn't bail out, but, yeah, it hurts, it sucks, it sucks big time.

Guys, our training is concluded with you at this time.

Good luck to you all. Hooyah.

Hooyah!

What those two said this evening was exactly...

It's spot on, massively spot on.

I've got a few demons, like,

as a lot of people, and I come in here,

and wear my heart on my sleeve,

and just try and iron out a few issues really,

teach myself a little bit about myself,

so you got to test yourself to see what it's all about.

Soon find out.

Next time, our recruits face another torturous 48-hour training regime

under one of the toughest veterans of Israel's Yamam.

I don't give a shit how your Navy Seal training was.

- Commitment is everything. - Let me continue!

- Respect must be earned. - You a pussy? Run! Run!

Do you have a plan or are you playing with your balls?

- And the pressure rises. - Got to get people over there!

Wait! You're fucking pulling it and I ain't fucking ready!

GO!
