Selection for the SAS
is cloaked in secrecy.

No-one knows what it is we do.

We're the thinking soldier.

And the truth about what it takes
might surprise you.

GUNSHOTS

An elite team of ex-Special
Forces soldiers is

putting 30 civilians through
the key stages of selection.

At the end of the day, would I have
this guy next to me in a war zone?

HE SHOUTS

Each task taken from the real
process.

Let's get the dogs out.

DOG BARKS

Physical fitness is no more
than a starting point.

The true test is of the mind.

I fear inadequacy.

The only thing I'm really afraid
of is rejection.

I don't really believe that there's
such a thing as

a completely weak person
or a completely strong person.

As each recruit is stripped
back to their core.

There might be strong characters.

Fully submerged! Under!

Once we start unchipping
their armour,

we find out exactly who they are.

I feel like a boy in a man's world.

No other test asks as much...

Well done.

..or means as much...

Still alive!

..to the few who make it through.

I know this works.
Show me that this works.

HE YELLS

I saw the Special Forces as a sort
of roguish element to the military.

Going out together in some pretty
hairy situations.

It's like an adrenaline rush.

You become addicted to it
and I think it's knowing that

you could be so close to dying that
makes you feel so much more alive.

At an isolated base deep in Wales,
a team of ex-Special Forces

operators is preparing the next
phase of their selection programme.

A lot of the stuff that you look for
in a soldier that wants to join

the Special Forces is basically
stuff that is already in people.

They want to discover how ordinary
British men measure up

on the toughest military
entrance test in the world.

A civilian might not
know their limits.

They might just think
they're at their limits

when really they're not.

Again, it's just being put in those
situations and putting on that

immense pressure for them to
find out who they truly are.

30 men signed up for the challenge,

and after a brutal first stage,
just 20 remain.

That's valuable energy, right there.

Over the next 48 hours,

the directing staff will take
the intensity up a gear,

applying pressure to isolate and
expose individuals they think
are weak.

Oh, man! The Compeed's melted off...

onto my fucking foot.

Oh, mate, that is minging, that one.

The attitude of recruit eight,
Jon Callaway, a trainee stuntman,

has caught their attention.

I want to overtake Jason Statham.

You want to overtake him? Yeah.

And he just survived
yesterday's cull.

But would you like to see him
suffer?

I do want to see him suffer,
so, yeah, keep him on.

I started working at the gym.

A little bit more competitiveness
come in, and I realised

that I was actually better at this
than a lot of other people.

So I moved into fighting,
jeet kune do

and then I learnt quite a lot of
different techniques.

Then I moved into bujinkan budo,
samurai, ninja martial arts,
worked up from that.

And that was interesting. Obviously
everyone wants to be a ninja.

And every time I get up out of bed,

when I turn the light on, I keep
one eye closed and one eye open.

So that when I turn the light off,
one eye can still see in the dark.

Yeah! Put a bit of Tabasco
on that.

MAN LAUGHS
Clean it out.

Right, OK, we can sort that out.

Recruit four, personal trainer
Mark Fisher, is having a medical

checkup following yesterday's
march in the Brecon Beacons.

OK, that's fine, pop that down.

How are you getting on with
the team, the rest of the guys?

Yeah, it's really strange, cos in
there it's just there, full-on

men banter, and it's kind of like...
And I just go quiet sometimes.

So you're finding it testosterone
heavy, that's what it is. Yeah.

I think the whole traits of what
makes a man is the whole...

The kind of lad culture with
the beers

and the football and, you know,

just the way, with the banter and
the guy traits,

and I don't fit into that.

But I like to show them that, yes,
I dance around to Beyonce,

but still I can do these hard
challenges,

and I can do 1,000 rep challenges,

and I can do a 1.5 mile run
as fast, and beat the rest of them.

Get in the assembly area in
two ranks. Let's go!

What selection is about is them
to recognise their own weaknesses.

We're looking to tap into those
weaknesses and see, you know,

how they react when things
they might not be good at

are put under pressure.

Is that everyone?

Right, gents, I'm going to ask you
a question each.

It's going to be the same question.

If you do not answer that question,
you will pay, OK?

ALL: Yes, Staff.

I don't mind if you look around,
but if you had to pick

the weakest member of this course,
who would it be?

Come on. Erm...

With the hat. Say his name.
With the hat?

This the person?

Number seven.

Same question.

Myself, Staff.
Yourself? Yes, Staff.

Think about what you're saying.

If I had to pick a team,
I obviously want to be in that team,

I believe I should be in that team.
OK? Think about the question.

I keep my answer. You keep
your answer? Yes, Staff.

OK, so you've just basically seen
yourself off. Well done.

Same question.

Number four, Staff.
Number four.

Who's the weak link?

Number seven, Staff.
Number seven.

Who would you get rid of
in your team?

Number four, Staff.
Number four.

Right. Back into your accommodation,
wait out for your next detail.

Asking them who they believe
shouldn't be there

is just another way of looking
at people's characters.

You know, if you're someone that's
been mentioned four, five,

six, seven times that
you shouldn't be there,

how's that person going to
deal with that?

Takes the piss, that, doesn't it?
Asking fucking questions like that.

That's the thing.
Is it like fucking Weakest Link?

They haven't put much
thought into the situation.

Out of most people in here I'd
rather have you. Well, thank you.

Without a doubt.

Recruit seven, Phil Hoban,

struggled during the opening
two days...

You've got all your kit on, there's
no wonder you're going slow.

You've got a hat on.
Fucking hell, I didn't even wear
that shit in the Arctic.

..and watched his son be
kicked off the course.

After today's performance, I can't
let you carry on with the course.

I've been through
a lot in my life, as well.

Through deaths, family -
I lost my mam and dad, you know?

And I've had to pull myself
together.

If I can go through that,
then this...

It's going to be no walk in t'park,
but I know I can do it.

That's shit, that, man.

The directing staff decide to focus
on the two recruits singled out
as weak

by seeing how they cope with
the pressure of leadership.

Right, fall into three ranks
this side of me and face me.

Phil is first up.

He will be put in charge
of a casualty evacuation exercise,

an important part of SAS selection.

All you got to do is
go on a bearing.

You need to go and find
out the bearing from that tree.
You got your compass on you?

No, Staff. It's in the bags,
isn't it?

You just said bring your water
bottles.

You're supposed to have your compass
on you at all times. Right.

You can fucking use mine.
In fact, no, you can't.
Who's got their compass on them?

As in, like, you are supposed to be
carrying them all the time.
Right, get it out.

Not that compass.
Who's got another compass?

Don't have metal next to your
compass. OK, yes, Staff.

Right, attach that to yourself.
Fucking hell.

Come on!

Phil must navigate the team through
difficult terrain

to a location over a mile away.

What you got?
I've got 176.

But I reckon that's the easiest to
take them up, rather than this.

'In a combat zone, if the team
leader gets taken out, if someone

'has been shot, everyone should be
able to step into that man's shoes.

'It has happened to me
during operations'

where we've had to step up.

Even if we're just doing ten paces,
fast paces, swap over straightaway.

We need to keep this fucking
pace going.

What's this down here?
It's just thick with mud.

Drag him up. Push him, push him.

Right, lads, lads -
put it down there.

That's it, you've reached
your casualty evacuation point.

Lads, that was a good effort.
Number seven, very good effort.

Mark is next to test
his leadership skills.

Number four, it's your turn
to shine here, right? Yes, Staff.

We're going up here.
Straight up? Yeah, straight up.

'I find the SAS intriguing'

because of what they go through
and what you hear about.

I've got the next bearing,
stay there one minute.

'And you have to be the best,
you know?

'I think that's what intrigues me
about what I can physically do,
as well.'

How do I match up to these men?

OK, we've got to go up.
The best way,

we need to go under this to come out
to where the tree is just there.

Is that really the best route, boss?

Erm...

Come on, mate, think of a route,
where can we go?

This way, this will be quicker,
and then go round.

Down, put him down. Conserve your
energy. You don't know if you can go
round?

Give me two seconds,
let's have a look.

We can't go through there, can we?

One step at a time, one.

Where's our next bearing?

We're going... No, it's...
It's not here.

Down the track, let's go down. No,
come back, it's down there.
Let's go.

Say when. Down here, down here.

Stop, we have to analyse this
and how we're getting down.
Listen to me. Listen!

I mean, he, number four,
is supposed to be the team leader.

He's got no leadership skills
whatsoever.

He's allowed the rest of the team
to take charge,

and he's happy for that to
have happened.

It's not the path.

He's basically a lead scout. Yeah.
A pretty poor one, as well.

Absolutely.

Not a pretty poor one,
he's fucking shit.

MEN CHATTER

You all right, guys? Loving life?

SOBBING BREATHS

I'm sorry.
There's no need to be sorry.

You did what you thought was best.
You got your way up there.

People have needed guidance, anyway.
You know? Yeah.

It's not supposed to be easy.

I just thought I just wasn't a good
leader.

And I just knew that was
going to happen.

Just... I just know
it's not a skill that I have.

Think about why you're here. Yeah.
Cos you're still here.

Cos you are still here.
Others have gone.

Yeah, that's why... I don't want
to let people... That's why it's
annoying me.

Yeah, but you need to remember that.
Yeah. Remember that and pick
yourself up and compose yourself.

Get in there with the lads.

They patted you on the back
when you went, so chill. Thank you.

When the self-doubt kicks in
properly, if you don't control it,

you'll feel yourself going into
almost a fit of depression

because you've allowed such
a negative thing to take hold.

It's really hard to get out of,

and you have to make a concerted
effort to become positive again.

And that's where...

Yeah, that's my biggest weakness,
is allowing that to take charge.

I was worried, actually,
when they said you were a bit upset,

I thought you might have
packed it in.

I don't want to give up at all.
No way.

Don't do it.

Down on your knees.
Hands behind your back.

Stay where you are.

Down on your fucking knees.

Up.

We always keep them guessing

and we always keep that
fear of the unknown.

We always keep that sense of,

"I don't know what's going
to happen next,

"and I don't know how I'm
suppose to react.

Four recruits, including Phil,
have been picked out at random.

They don't know where
they're being taken or why.

MUSIC BLARES

MUSIC STOPS

The special forces team is testing
each recruit individually to see who

has the initiative to escape despite
being blind and bound to the wall.

It's done for a purpose.

It's to create an environment
of loading stress on individuals

to see how they'll react.

I genuinely don't think they're
going to do anything.

I reckon they will, mate. Yeah?

After a while they're going to start
going, "What the fuck's going on?"

You would be, wouldn't you? Yeah.

We should go in and whisper shit
in their ear

when they're not moving in about
fucking four hours.

Hello?

Who else is tied up?

Anybody?

I'll just let you know.

If you slide to the left
you can get off the pole.

Slide to your left.

Slide to your right.

Crisscross.

I want one if there's enough.
Anyone want an egg?

Nah, mate.

Is that another portion of that?

There's only five of us
and look at the...

I like it.
We will eat till we are sick.

Then we will invade Sparta.

THEY LAUGH

HE MUMBLES

Huh. Door's open.

ALARM BLARES

Fucking hell! Good effort.

After just half an hour,
two recruits - Calvin and Wayne -

have completed the task by freeing
themselves and finding the exit.

Hey, bud. Who is it?

Calvin. 23.

Oh. All right, man? Yeah.

Fucking hell.
How did you get your thing off?

I slid my hand out. Who's this?

Who's this?

Talk to me. But Phil
and recruit 3 are refusing to move.

Speak up if you want to be free.

It's dark in here.

Oi! Right, go back to where you
were.

Kneel down.
Just kneel down facing the wall.

Recruit 23, Calvin Wright,
is a student.

Off you go.

At just 19 years old, he's one of
the youngest on the course.

I've always been competitive.

At a school sport's day, when I was
about seven or eight years old,

I remember whilst all the other
parents sat down on one side

having a picnic, my dad
stood up on the side

screaming at me,
making sure that

I was putting in everything
that I had.

Come on!

Keep moving.
Keep the legs ticking over.

On selection, intense exercise is
used not just to exhaust recruits

but to strip away bad attitude.

If this is what you like, gentlemen,
if this is how you operate best,

we're going to do it all night.

Keep moving!

So far, John Calloway has stayed
out of trouble

by keeping his attitude in check.

Well done. Move your legs.
Move your legs.

Get your breath back.
Well done, son.

This is easy, this shit.

What did you say?
Did I hear you say this was easy?

No.

Did you say... No, what?
No, Staff. Come to the side here.

HE TUTS
Why you fucking tutting?

What you tutting?

Get in the fucking waddle
position.

Follow me. Start fucking waddling.

I asked you a question,
I want a...fucking normal answer,

without fucking attitude.

I'm sorry, Staff.

No, I don't want you to be sorry.

If you didn't say it, it's just,
"No, Staff."

It's not, "No."

Get down in the fucking
waddle position.

I'm going to drill this attitude
out of you tonight

and I'm going to make a fucking
decent soldier out of you.

Now, fucking keep moving.
You watch. You watch.

When I was in the younger
ages in my military career,

I got called out a couple of times
from my superiors

for being a gobshite,
as they used to say, so...

But, yeah,
I didn't really look up to them,

my superiors, at that time,
so I didn't really take it on board.

Stand up.
Put your arms out straight.

Put your arms out straight.

Keep it there. Keep it there.
Keep it there.

Lose the cockiness.

My father passed away
when I was quite young,

so I've very much had
that attitude of,

"If I do something wrong,
no-one's going to tell me off."

I've been there, like yourself.
I've been strong, like yourself.

I've been at the top of the pack,
like yourself.

I was a little fucker with
an attitude, like yourself.

Fucking get back in there.
Lose the attitude.

TOGETHER: ..three, four, five, six...

I wanted to be in the military
before, but I had chronic asthma.

And then as I grew up
I couldn't do a lot,

I'd have to use my inhaler a lot
and it was embarrassing.

So ever since then, "All right, I'm
just going to have to build muscle."

Obviously everyone doesn't
think about those things.

They're like, "Oh, wow! Good body."

But it's always hiding something,
you know.

HE GRUNTS

Please do not give birth on my
parade square, number 29.

Do not give up.

Does anybody not want to be here?

ALL: No, Staff!

Good effort, mate.

During the three-hour thrashing,

the directing staff have been
identifying individuals

they think are slacking.
Calvin is one of them.

Can we go into the people
that we think are loafing?

So straightaway
let's start off with number 23.

I think there's
an air of arrogance there.

You always question why you had
bigger blokes that are, like, really

struggling and he was just loafing
at the back, didn't break a sweat.

For a guy of his age and everything
else, he should be way at the front.

And I want to ask him
some questions

cos if doesn't come up to
scratch in the interview,

then I think he's going to be
one of our strong candidates to go.

Relax.

How old are you? 19, Staff. 19.

You're built like a fucking runner
and yet you're always at the back.

Are you just lazy?
A lazy university student?

No. Well, no, Staff.

It seems like to me
you've never been without,

you've always been looked after,

you've always been
pointed in the right direction,

you got that little pat on the head.
Would I be correct in saying that?

I think so, Staff. Yeah, it shows.

I think that my parents have done
the utmost to make sure

that they've given me 110%
support...

..you know, which I don't regret
and I don't think is a bad thing.

I think it's helped me achieve
things that I've wanted to achieve.

Well, I can see that
straight through.

You're like an officer's son.

The way your eyes moved there.

There's military background
in your family, isn't there?

On my mother's side,

sort of all the males on my mother's
side were in the military.

Military not interest you?

Yes, military does interest me.

I'm seeking to join afterwards. Ah.

You know, I've had an interest in
the Royal Marines since I was young.

I felt like this would be a good
challenge to see where I'd be at.

Where do you think you'd be at?

I think currently I...

..feel a bit like a boy
in a man's world...Staff.

Guard.

It's the beginning of day four.

Go! I want to hear it.

Fucking get up.

The recruits are now faced

with one of the most
daunting tests on selection...

the Sickener.

All the way down the centre
of the tracks, catch them.

Every time they think it's over,

they will be given another
sickening challenge.

Bend and stretch.

Not knowing when it will end is what
pushes the weakest to the edge.

Follow me.

If they quit now,
they're off the course.

Here's to being a winner!

Come on! Head under,
fully submerged.

Up, out.

A Sickener is a test to see
if you're able to work

and still want to do things
when you're at your lowest ebb.

Cos it won't stop until
people start giving in.

Is that the best you have?

Let's go, let's go, come on!

You think you've reached
your limit and then, bang,

they hit you with
something else again.

I'm going to keep on going today
until we fucking lose people.

Anyone here want to quit?

THEY ANSWER: No, Staff!

Into your fucking
accommodation, quick.

After an hour, Mark Fisher
and recruit 12, Sonny Combo,

are struggling.

I want to see, as a human being
and as a man, how far can we push.

The scary part of it is
what's going to happen

but you've got to go along with it
and do the best that you can

and hold out in there.

Everyone outside.
Outside now! Let's go!

What the fuck are you doing here?

You can either make this or
you can't. It's that simple.

I would like to get broken

because the only way you
know your honest limit

is once you're broken,

so I want to find out
about that limit.

I want to see how far I can go.

We have to get rid
of some dead wood.

If you've not got the minerals...

..you withdraw.

This is in the head.

Anybody feel like withdrawing?

THEY ANSWER: No, Staff! Yes, Staff.

Just give me your...

..and then go speak to the medic.

Anybody else?

THEY ANSWER: No, Staff!

After three hours, number 14, Dwayne,
quits and is off the course.

'There's a lot of false endings
in the sickeners.

'There's also a lot
of false endings in war.'

Go!

Fucking move it now.

You need to be able to see
if someone can handle that,

you know, handle the fact that when
they thought it was over, it wasn't.

And to see if whether they're
people that are quitters.

The Sickener continues.

It won't stop until
four more recruits

reach their breaking point.

THEY GROAN

Start doing press ups!
We're going under the tree. Under!

MAN GROANS LOUDLY

Move!

Number 12, are you
withdrawing from the course?

I'm withdrawing from
the course, Staff.

Give me your armband
and go speak to the medic.

Thank you, Staff.

Back up, everyone else, back up.

Keep it going, fighting
through the water.

Keep moving!

The Sickener proves too much
for one more recruit...

The war is over for him.
Let's catch him.

..Mark Fisher.

There's a night that
I'll always remember.

We got into a fire fight and
it was a long night anyway

and there was quite a lot of bullets
flying around from both sides.

THEY CALL OUT ENCOURAGEMENT

And I remember thinking to myself,

"This is quite hairy and this is
one of the more hairy situations

"I've been in."

I remember getting into a ditch
and I just remember feeling

so fucking tired and drained that
I actually wanted to be at home.

I wanted to be back as a kid
and be with my mum.

HE SOBS

That feeling is momentary.

You suddenly realise it's not
over yet. It's not over.

You need to keep pushing yourself.

Come on, 28, fucking get there!

THEY CALL OUT ENCOURAGEMENT

No matter how drained you are,

if you're someone
who quits when bullets start flying

or people start dying around you
then you're not

the sort of person we need
and that's why we test it.

Seven hours of punishment

and false endings pushed Mark
to his breaking point.

Now, take a seat.

Before packing his bags,
he's checked over by the doctor.

When I went out there, I just
couldn't get it out of my head.

It was just doing my head in.

What was?

Just me being too weak for this

and I just kept thinking,
"I'm so weak."

I just don't think I've ever
really believed in myself.

What you've achieved
is actually incredible.

I don't know if you realise

but you should be really proud
of what you've achieved.

All right, then.
Anyway, it's been a privilege

to have looked after you the
last couple of days. Thank you.

This has been by far and away
the hardest thing I've ever done!

By far!

Seven hours of training.

And it's three o'clock and they're
going to get us again later...

Someone's coming.

Everybody in the assembly hall now!

They think they've got
to the end of it

or they think they've done
the last exercise.

No, you're wrong.

The Sickener starts again.

Three recruits have already gone,
but what the rest don't know

is that it won't stop
until another two drop out.

After being targeted
for his attitude,

number eight, John Callaway,
is at the front of the pack.

Struggling at the rear
is number seven, Phil.

Number seven.
Number seven, come here!

All of you, get in
the press up position.

Do you want to get in that wagon?
No, Staff. No, Staff.

Are you sure? Look at me.
Yes, Staff.

Have a bit about yourself,
a bit of pride about yourself.

Do you want to hand in your armband?
No, Staff. Are you sure? Yes, Staff.

Tell them to bend and stretch.

Bend...stretch. Bend...stretch.

Stay there, stay in that position.
Say thank you to number seven.

THEY ALL ANSWER:
Thank you, number seven.

Start thinking about the weak
members of this course

and who keeps letting you down.

Right, all of you fucking
stand up, full length.

Take your Bergens off.
I will partner you off.

You will get your partner on your
shoulder in a fireman's carry

until you get to the top
of the hill. Go!

Oh, fuck!

Calvin was singled out yesterday
for being lazy.

Let's try.

So, he's been partnered up with Lee,
the heaviest recruit on the course.

One, two, three...

Do not damage your casualty.
He's already a casualty.

Do you want to give me your number?
Do you want to give me your number?

Answer me! Do you want to give
me your number? No, Staff.

HE SCREAMS

'I was point man for my
first tour of Afghan.

'A point man is someone'

who's at the front of the team.
He's leading the team

and he's the first man
through the door, basically.

'I never thought that
I would get shot,

'I never thought that I'd get hit.'

I genuinely believed that
I'd go into that target

and nothing would stop me.

HE GROANS

We will not stop until one
of you hands your number in.

Selection is to try and find that
type of guy who can focus that much.

I suppose it's just to see

when you're in the face
of adversity,

are you going to give up?

Come on, fucking do this. Come on.

Yep?

HE GRUNTS

Just take a break.

Stand up, stand up, get on my
shoulders, rest on my shoulders.

Kevin, stand up
and rest on my shoulders.

Right, steady there,
steady there, put him down.

You've reached your casualty
evacuation point.

Let me know when you need
to stop, yeah?

That was about two hours ago.

If you two are not at the top
of the hill in five minutes,

I will fucking take you
off this course.

Ready? One, two, three.

'When I'm getting to the point
where things get really tough,'

I'll miss just having
the ability to talk to my dad.

Well done, boys. Well done.

You know, I want to make my parents

proud of the effort that I've put in

and I want to make them proud
of the determination

that you have when it gets tough.

23, get him on your shoulders.

Let's go, let's get aggressive.

Come on, son, power!

15 seconds. Let's go!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Go! Everything you've got, 23!

Come on, everything you've got!

THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT

This will not finish

until one of you drop out.

Does anybody here...

..want to give me their number?

THEY ALL ANSWER: No, Staff.

Right, fucking follow the DS, go!

This will not stop until one of you
fucking gives me your armband.

Exactly the same exercise.

I'm not fucking joking.

Again, gentlemen,
fireman's carry your partner

until you reach the top.

Let's get moving, let's go.

Do you want me to go?
I can't, mate. I can't.

I'm done. Come on.
No, I'm done. I'm done.

Number 29, do you want
to give your number in? Yes.

Do you want to withdraw
yourself from the course?

Give me your number and you're off.

28, do you want to
withdraw yourself?

Yes, Staff. The rest of you
get back here now.

Get your Bergens on!

Now that five recruits
have withdrawn,

the Sickener is finally over.

Believe it or not,
I'm quite happy today.

As you go on through this course,
I only want strong members.

I will only keep people here...

..who me and the DS team

look at at the end
of this course and say,

"Do you know what?

"I would quite happily train this
guy up to fight next to me."

You look confused, number eight.
What's with the frowning?

Is there something
you don't understand?

I do understand, Staff,
I just wish that was me.

Start switching on
and it might well be you.

We've had five go already today.

VW - voluntary withdrawal.

So let's pick, I would say, three...

To go. ..for the culling.

The first one,
number seven, which is Phil.

Yeah, I had a soft spot for him and
I still do but he's a bag of shit.

He's tired, he's fucked,
he knows it as well.

I'm putting a double
question mark by his name.

We all sort of identified
that 23 was a loafer

so today I put number 28
on his back,

which number 28, I would say,
is about an 18st, 19st guy.

Heaviest on the course, isn't he?

And I thought it was going to
break him, I really did,

and fair dues to him,
he got to the top of the hill.

My only concern with him is,
is his best good enough? You know?

What's our decision, then?
I've got a question mark.

Let's put him
in the question mark zone.

Right, let's move on to
number eight.

Old Callaway.

I think it's too late

but I just want to find out
why he's such a prick.

The thing is, this is the whole
point of selection, isn't it?

You actually break someone down
from this facade that we all put up.

It's then when you see,
under pressure,

what kind of people they are.

His... His true attitude
is a stroppy, arrogant...

Cocky. ..cockhead. Yeah, agreed.

Have you got a problem with
authority?

I think so, yeah.

Yeah. I would say so. I wouldn't
think so, I'd definitely say so.

Have you ever been
in trouble with the police?

A few times. What for?

Um... Fighting?

Fighting, yeah. Yeah.

Sometimes, you know,
we may have to go off

and operate in
other people's countries

and we can't afford to sort of have
someone wind us up to the point

that it's visually obvious cos
we'll probably get fucking killed.

How do you look at us, for the DS?

Tell me what you know
about the Special Forces.

Tell me what you think. I don't know
a great deal. I don't know enough.

But I do know they're
better than I ever have been

and will ever be at the moment...

in terms of everything.

Is it hard for you to say that?
It is.

It's frustrating that I've wasted a
lot of years when I could have done

something a bit better and moved
towards the Special Forces, myself.

That's frustrating.
I guess it's not... I guess...

Almost envious, I guess.
It might even be that.

I wish that I was sat
where you are right now.

I wish that I was doing what you're
doing. That's why I'll play up.

Hm. Yeah.

Guard.

GUARD: Stand up.

The more that we're pushing him,
the more he wants it,

but he knows he can't have it.

So does that make sense?

Yeah, what do you
want to do with him?

The Special Forces team
make their final decisions

and the recruits gather
in the assembly space.

The learning curve
has been very steep.

Some of you just
haven't stayed on it.

Stand by.

Number 25.

Thank you, Staff.

Number 19.

Number seven.

Right. It's been a privilege, lads.

I don't really believe that
there's such a thing as

a completely weak person or
a completely strong person.

You lot will go on to
the next stage of the course...

..and prove me and my team right
that we've made the right choices.

Is that understood?
RECRUITS: Yes, Staff.

You're dismissed. Go.

The weak point for me is
I'm overly self-critical.

Cheers.

It's been a fucking pleasure.

Fucking enjoyed myself
with you boys.

I've recalled certain
things, decisions made,

and they've sort of had
an adverse effect on me.

It's obviously to do with killing
people in front of other people,

which is obviously something
that happens a lot.

We're in such close proximity
to civilians,

whether it be women, kids,

seeing stuff that's
just violence basically.

I ended up having...
I got medically discharged for...

They diagnosed me with PTSD

so I had to leave a few years
before my time was up.

Are you ready to go? Yeah.

A strong person is someone who
acknowledges their weaknesses

and knows how to control them
or at least manage them.

They're someone that knows
themselves to a certain degree.

Next time...

Every man fears.

It's impossible to have no fear.

EXPLOSIONS
DOG BARKS

If you dwell on it too much,
it could have adverse effects.

Come on!

SHOUTING

We are here, freezing,

because you can't grab
your balls in your hands

and do what's asked.

If you don't control fear,
that's when it becomes contagious.
