[rousing music playing]
[Prince Harry] So many individuals, once they are injured...
Their lives have been changed forever.
And they are having to start all over again.
You have to retrain your body to be able to accept and deal with
and work around the injury that you have.
[rousing music building]
[Prince Harry] You throw sport in there and give this human being an opportunity
to be redefined for what they've achieved rather than what they've lost.
[crowd roaring]
That is what the game's all about.
That's where the magic happens.
[music trails off]
[commentator 1] Good morning and welcome from The Hague in the Netherlands.
And we are going to watch the cycling events today,
with many competitors from the 20 nations that take part in this fantastic event.
-[man in Korean] Need a hand? You good? -[Na] I'm okay.
To prepare, I need to know who my opponent is.
[man] It's best to just go for it.
You'll overthink it if you know your opponent.
[cheering]
[Na] Why am I so nervous?
-[man] Don't be nervous. -I wasn't nervous at all until yesterday.
[coach] Just let it go at the start. And then play it safe.
[intense percussive music playing]
[announcer in English] Three, two, one!
-Let's go! -[starter horn blares]
[commentator 2] They're away in the criterium road race,
which includes arm and leg amputees.
Plenty of hard cycling ahead.
[commentator 1] Nice little peloton here.
[commentator 3] And I see 40 kilometers an hour. Wow.
[commentator 1] This is fast.
[Na in Korean] Before I was injured...
This is a bit embarrassing,
but I believed the world was centered around me.
I wasn't scared of anything.
[announcer 3 in English] The man from South Korea on the attack.
[Na in Korean] When I got injured I thought,
"Why am I being put through this ordeal?"
[delicate, thoughtful music playing]
There was nothing I could do by myself.
People looked at me with such pity.
[commentator 2 in English] Na Hyeongyoon suddenly in a bit of trouble here.
[in Korean] I thought, "What's the point of living?"
What do I do at this young age?
[commentator 2 in English] The Korean's struggling.
[in Korean] I don't feel that way at all now.
Not at all.
[commentator 2 in English] Na has really dug deep.
He's got himself back into contention.
[tense percussive beats playing]
[Na in Korean] I think if I'm confident,
I don't have to care about how others see me.
Honestly, I don't think we overcome our disabilities.
Instead, we overcome the perceptions
of ourselves in our society.
That's what I want to achieve.
[commentator 1 in English] The rider from Korea is doing a wonderful job.
[commentator 2] It's all going to come down to a sprint finish.
[spectators cheering]
[commentator 2] And Na takes the bronze medal in his category!
[thoughtful music continuing]
[indistinct chatter]
-[in Korean] Congrats. -Thank you.
Let's say the chant, "Go Korea."
Go Korea!
[cheerful clamoring]
[woman in English] I'm so tired. Not even done any sport.
Best bit of my day, Rich, the volleyball captain,
got everyone's family to write a letter.
And so this bit says, "Vicki, this is your time."
[steadying breath]
[shakily] Already!
"You are where you are because you are who you are."
"Be the best version of yourself,
and you will flourish."
And then the next bit...
[gentle, heartfelt music playing]
It says, "Mummy,
no matter what you do,
no matter how many times you think there's no point to carry on,
never give up."
"You've made us all so proud."
[emotional music playing]
Yeah.
[chuckles]
[Ross] Come on.
Come on, Tom's turn.
"Babe, myself, Harvey, your family and your friends
couldn't be prouder of you."
"You've given us major bragging rights."
"You put so much into this. It's time to reap the rewards."
"You and your teammates should soak it up and enjoy every minute."
"We're behind you all the way. Your loving family."
[no audible dialogue]
[man speaking indistinctly]
[Ross] You read that out. You're going to have a hug.
I know you love them.
-[Ross] All right? -Yeah.
[crowd cheering]
[coach] For this first game,
the starting four is Tom, Dan Phillips, Vicki, and Paul.
Let's not start this game quiet.
We're on the floor defensively. One of your greatest tools is your voices.
Just intimidate, okay? Be obnoxious. Be annoying.
That's the best thing to do on defense.
We can do this.
I'm not scared of anyone here. I'm confident in our ability as a team.
-Yeah, we're good. -We are good.
As a team, we're fucking good.
The US have not got any girls, have they?
[upbeat rock music playing]
[commentator] And it's the United Kingdom against the United States.
Let's go, UK!
The key thing is the UK won silver back in 2018, the USA won bronze.
-So this is going to be a mammoth contest. -[horn blares]
[referee blows whistle]
[blows whistle]
[commentator] This has really become an end-to-end contest.
And the skipper with the first two scores for the UK.
Vicki Ross. It goes over.
Somebody is going to have to concentrate on defense,
but for now the entertainment factor has taken over.
Here goes Folwell.
That's a lovely cross-field pass. Over they go through Dave Wilkinson.
Folwell, the heart and soul of this UK effort.
And over they go, and that should just about seal it.
[ref blowing whistle]
A huge battle between these two who were in the medals last time.
And it's fallen the way of the United Kingdom. Wow.
[Team UK] Hey!
I was late for you motley bunch.
The things the opposition will do to keep us apart!
For those that... I don't know if you all know, but I died, guys.
Fancy that.
He's gonna make me cry again.
But it's not about me, it's about you. That's what matters.
It's all in your hands, all right?
You've got the ability.
Play. Have fun.
Just kick ass.
Oh my God! I wondered why you were all in blue.
I got every confidence you're gonna win.
If you don't get a fucking medal, I'll kick your arses.
-[laughter] -Simple as that.
Whatever outcome, it's a product of your hard work, Jenks and Jayne.
A big thank you from all of us.
-Take care, guys. -Bye!
[George] When I first heard about Invictus,
I really saw it as a great opportunity to really get me fired up
and a great opportunity to keep me going.
My grandma tells me I stretch myself too thin.
My friends tell me I need to take breaks.
People tell me all the time that I need to slow down.
But whatever the outcome is, I've been doing this most of my life,
and now I'm in The Hague.
All right, we got to get this done.
[spirited music playing]
[steady, rhythmic clapping]
[starter horn blares]
[commentator] And we are underway.
We have four minutes to go as fast as possible.
Come on, Gabriel!
There's your leader. It's Gabriel George.
Come on, Gabriel!
[Kietha] The way Gabriel presents things is like another thing that he's doing.
He's very casual about everything,
and you don't even realize what a big thing it is
until you're like, "Oh my gosh!"
[commentator 2] This is now just who can suffer the most pain
and just keep on going mentally and physically.
[commentator 1] George, who was the leader, has trailed 25 meters behind.
This is the seriously hard work stage now.
[commentator 2] Yeah. Now they're getting into the final minute.
[Kietha] Come on, Gabriel!
Come on, Gabe! Come on!
[commentator 1] That is focus. That is determination.
[bellow echoes]
[commentator 1] Two last agonizing pulls, and it's over.
Gabriel George threw everything at that.
[coach] Breathe.
He got into an early lead, eventually faded into sixth place.
But look at him. He's left nothing out there.
[George] I can't pick my water up.
[Kietha] When Gabe had his accident, it will be 14 years this year.
And I think he's pulled in 50 different directions all the time.
As much as I pray, he keeps going.
[George coughing]
Oh God.
[Kietha] I'm concerned and I'm afraid for him.
[stifled moaning]
[George] Mm-mmm.
How not to give a speech.
-At least you can read your writing. -How on Earth do I pronounce that?
"General Onno... Eichelsheim."
"Eichelsheim"?
Do you want me to quickly try and figure out...
"Eichelsheim."
[automated voice] General Onno Eichelsheim.
Onno Eichelsheim.
General Onno Eichelsheim.
[Markle] Eichelsheim?
[man] Eichelsheim.
[Markle] One more time.
[bright, quirky music playing]
[commentator] We're back with more events to look forward to in The Hague.
Wheelchair rugby continues. We still have archery, cycling,
wheelchair basketball, and swimming.
[commentator 2] It's Kasper Henriksen, the rider from Denmark.
Such a short time trial. That means that it hurts even more.
[commentator 3] Wheelchair basketball. Darrell Ling wears 18 for Canada.
[commentator 4] Gabriel George using his mouth and a specially adapted bow.
Our global military community is coming together
in the very place that is the home to international justice and peace.
We also want to extend our deep gratitude to the Ministry of Defense,
State Secretary Christophe van der Maat, and General Onno...
[audience laughs]
...Eichelsheim.
[applause]
[commentator] Welcome back. The atmosphere building ahead of game four
in the wheelchair rugby tournament.
Gray's been busy so far. He's picked it up again.
And now he goes, accelerating away.
Only 12 seconds left to get the ball across.
They have done that.
[player] Yeah!
UK going through to the final.
They last won it back in 2014 in London.
And Kasper Holm Henriksen from Denmark takes the silver medal in the time trial.
[pained groan]
Tom, firstly, a huge congratulations.
What's it like when you've got a team like this?
You're out there as captain.
It's easy. They make my life easy.
We've got an awesome captain. He makes our life easy. It's fantastic.
Just a shame our coach, Jenks, couldn't be here.
He went ill so he can't be here. But we're doing it for him.
[in Danish] I gave it all I could.
Perfect, man.
-Damn good job, Kasper. -Thank you.
Ten seconds from gold, Kasper.
No.
Don't tell me that.
[laughter]
[commentator 1 in English] It's round number 10.
[commentator 2] Gabriel George got himself into the last 16,
losing out, having faced the top-ranked archer in his section.
[Prince Harry] Is he hard on himself?
-He is. -Yeah?
[Kietha] It's okay.
I'm proud of him.
Always proud. Always proud.
[man] Nice one, Jess.
[Nadin] Here at the Invictus Games,
Darrell is very frustrated, agitated, uncomfortable.
[Ling] I didn't want to drink at the games.
I felt embarrassed.
Right from childhood, right through my adult life,
lying was a part of it,
and I wanted people to accept me.
[Nadin] Now he was honest with us.
I think that he is the one that is going to change his own life.
[spectator] Watch out!
[cheering]
[coach] Go! Twenty-four seconds! Get down there, Darrell. Get down there.
[delicate, pensive music playing]
[audience cheering]
I scored that last basket of the game. Did you see it?
[Nadin] I believe that something really wonderful
has been revealed here at the Invictus Games for Darrell.
I'm happy that he's getting to experience
that part where you finally conquer something.
[commentator] The men's 100 meters freestyle...
[starter buzzer buzzes]
USA!
Let's go, let's go!
[George] I'm not nervous at all.
Good. You shouldn't be. Have fun. Smile!
This is a fun day. Yeah. Just have fun, don't drown.
Yep. Just have fun, don't drown.
That's where I'm at.
This is fun.
-This is fun. -Yeah.
[George] Pain-wise, as long as I'm in motion, I'm good.
It's when I stop and sit still, then you got to deal with everything.
It all comes out, and it comes... it comes hard.
Nerve pain.
But also personal trauma.
But as long as I'm doing something, my mind is like, "Yeah."
Keeps trying to fire off thoughts to kind of get off of that trip.
Say, 20 years from now I don't have that same energy.
The pain is gonna still be there. What am gonna do to combat that?
[referee blows whistle]
[announcer] Take your marks.
[klaxon blares]
[commentator] We begin heat number three of the men's 50m freestyle.
This is the ISC classification.
[low, uneasy music playing]
[announcer speaking indistinctly]
[uneasy music continuing]
[George] Oh shoot.
Whoo. Can't move a muscle.
[pained groans]
[high-pitched ringing]
[crossing bell ringing]
[train horn blares]
[groans]
[intense, distressing music playing]
[Prince Harry] I know the power of sport.
Representing your country.
But I also worry because they're putting themselves in an uncomfortable position.
Bodies and minds can be complicated.
Having an injury or condition
doesn't make a person's body or perspective less valuable.
It just makes it different.
Everyone's gonna have dog days, right?
Everyone's gonna struggle at some point. That's life.
Most of these things are out of our control.
We can control some things, but we can't other things.
But the games inspires and encourages them.
You've got different people coming with different expectations,
and it doesn't matter whether it's for crossing the finish line,
getting PBs, getting medals,
whatever it is.
These are the experiences that ultimately do change people's perspectives.
[in Danish] When you were shouting and screaming...
That was fantastic.
[Prince Harry in English] Seeing the smiles come back,
seeing the personality come back,
feeling it from them and seeing it in their eyes,
of course it changes your life.
[Ross] We're going to go out to win. We're going to play to win.
[Folwell] But we can't take anything for granted.
[Ross] No, we can't. I get that.
But we've got more of a reason to go firmly
with Jenks and Jayne not being here.
So it's as much for them as it is for anyone else.
Ah, I'm getting nervous now.
-Are you nervous? -[Folwell] Yeah.
It's a lot of pressure.
As a captain, you're doing a tremendous job.
Especially these last couple of weeks.
I definitely made the right choice of you being captain for the team.
[somber, thoughtful music playing]
[Jenkins] You are all good enough to be on my team.
If you weren't good enough, you wouldn't be here now.
For me, you are all capable of being on that court.
[team] ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
[clapping, cheering]
[Folwell] I'm not very good with people.
I tend to isolate myself.
I've never been in a leadership role in my life for anything.
[somber, thoughtful music continuing]
You're phenomenal.
Every single person in this circle is phenomenal.
[crowd chanting] UK! UK! UK!
Dave. It's your job to get them players on.
Work it out and follow them. Use them as much as you can.
We play our game.
No matter what they do, if we play our game, we win.
Stay on top. Let him get the ball in. Go for that 12 seconds.
Pick him, let me go around, and keep him there, in the key.
-Keep 'em pressed. -I'll go and get the one who survives.
-Let's go. -Let's do it.
Let's do it, lads.
[no audible dialogue]
[crowd cheering]
[commentator] Unbeaten record. Six wins out of six, the United Kingdom.
They were the only team to beat the USA.
They finished 24 - 21 to Tom Folwell's side.
This one could be just as tight.
[indistinct, enthusiastic chatter]
[rowdy rock music playing]
[chanting forceful cry of challenge]
[Jenkins] Be good enough to win the game.
Just do the jobs they've been told to do. Simple as.
Just play the game.
[Folwell] They might have speed, but they ain't got the chair skills.
They might hit hard, but they don't know where to hit.
-Just keep pressuring and ride the hits. -Got it?
On three, "UK."
-One, two, three... -[Team UK] UK!
[commentator 1] It's going be tense, tough,
and a terrific match.
There's the tip-off.
Kevin Green has it.
Both of these two sides have been as good without the ball as they have with it.
And both of these two are going to give it their maximum.
Kenny Guinn, one of the stars of the US team.
Vicki Ross will try and stop him. They've been brilliant at blocking.
But there goes Green,
and that's the first score for the United States.
They'll start long. They've got it to Vicki Ross.
That's beaten the US press.
The US blocking has been brilliant, but she's got it away to Paul Gray.
[commentator 2] Vicki Ross is there and drives for the line and scores.
[rousing drumbeat playing]
It's gonna be a good game!
[commentator 1] Smith is after it.
Folwell goes, but that leaves the gap open for Guinn.
We haven't seen Tom Folwell get the ball yet.
But now he does, and now he goes.
He's the danger man for the United States.
Lob over the top, an alley-oop there. Garland couldn't hold on.
Oh, that could be very costly indeed, as Gray rockets downfield.
[dramatic music building]
Vicki Ross to take it and scores.
When they pick the ball up, there is no way through for Green.
They've crossed, in any case.
This has been played at a frantic pace.
It's the quickest game we've seen so far.
-Oh, he lost the ball! -Yes. They flicked it off.
Unlucky, Dan!
[intense, dramatic music playing]
Yes! Let's go!
A lovely score. The US have got the lead back.
[commentator 2] Perhaps the US have been the better team in this opening half.
[low, distorted tones playing]
[commentator 2] But Guinn gets through to Garland.
Does he get there in time? Just in time!
That will be half-time. It's a two-point game.
The UK behind for the first time at the break.
This one's gonna go right to the wire.
Fifty more minutes of wheelchair rugby to go to decide
the Invictus Games champion.
[Jayne] And there's Tom. He says, "I'm fine."
Yeah. To be a good captain, you have to show
that relaxed outer composure.
No mind about what's happening underneath.
[Folwell] Take your time.
Play our game. Pick, roll, go.
-Shout for it. -Yeah.
Make sure you can...
Yeah, let's do this.
[Tania] It's something that really struck me earlier,
was listening to what other people are saying about Tom in particular.
That's really difficult to control my emotions when that happens.
How quick he is and how amazing he is.
He seems to be taking charge of the team.
It's a side to him we don't see often.
Guinn! Guinn!
We got this. Just have fun.
-That's all that matters. -Have fun.
On three, "UK."
-One, two, three... -[players] UK!
Can the UK believe in themselves and get back into this one?
They've been man-marking Tom Folwell to completely take him out of the game.
Now they go with Gray.
And Folwell is free. That has not happened too often.
They go long, the US have two players out there.
Josh Smith falls over. Did that go over? I think he did.
United States have the bit between their teeth,
and they've got players free.
And now the gap for the first time is a four-point gap.
[Folwell] I don't think recovery ever ends.
There's always ups and downs.
But I want Harvey to experience seeing me at my very best.
Guinn is unstoppable. Folwell having bashed him out there.
-That is a big hit. -[resounding thud]
[Folwell] I just want him to see that anything is possible.
[commentator 2] Well, that is spectacular!
[commentator 1] Vicki Ross with the ball.
Come on, Vicki!
[stirring music playing]
[Ross] Finding wheelchair rugby gave me my freedom back.
Just let go. No worries. The mind's empty.
It's just all on the sport.
It's cleared the horizon so I've got a way forward.
[commentator 1] There is barely time to catch your breath.
[Folwell] We don't need to win.
By getting out there and doing it, that is winning.
The rugby team are basically your family.
They're all awesome.
[Team UK player 1] Wheelchair rugby saved my life.
I may not be the fastest or the smartest,
but I'm smiling because I'm moving forward.
It's showing my kids that no matter what life throws at you...
[voice cracking] ...you can just do something.
For them to see me do that, I've won already.
[player 2] My progress I've made... I'll tell you that from the start.
I was under a train station waiting for the express train to come.
I stopped. Didn't do it.
I'm here, aren't I?
I'm representing my country.
How many people can say that? Not many.
That was a little bit arrogant. But so what? I'm here.
[commentator 1] That might just do it.
[stirring, emotional music rising]
Folwell goes long.
Vicki Ross is there, over the top for Gray.
That skill there is outstanding.
But the buzzer is coming,
and the buzzer means that the United States
are the gold medal winners.
[music evening out]
[Jayne] I'm gutted for them. But Tom led them as a true captain.
They done themselves proud.
Defeat just makes you come out stronger next time.
[Jayne] Yeah.
[music trails off]
[delicate, pensive music playing]
[Henriksen] Biggest journey has been the mental journey.
I have reached a lot of my goals,
but there's still a long way until the final goal,
and I don't even know if I'm ever reaching the final goal.
[commentator 1] Let's get to the track for our final races of Invictus Games.
Three, two, one.
-Go! -[horn blares]
[commentator 2] Taking charge is the man from Great Britain, James Rogers.
He likes to ride at the front, as we saw in the qualifying race.
Kasper Henriksen, the number two of the time trial, is a fast rider.
[tense percussive beat playing]
[commentator 3] Maybe with the wind.
[commentator 2] Yeah, it's gonna be challenging.
There is the first attack, but the man from France, Gérald Monnier,
looks very, very dominant here.
The Danish have three riders in the race with Kasper Henriksen.
Just missing out on the gold medal timed trial.
So he's a fast guy, he's a strong rider.
Probably taking a bit of confidence from that.
One last lap to decide everything.
Well, while the situation stays like this,
more riders will think they have a shot.
There's an attack from the riders from Great Britain.
I think this is Richard Gray.
You have to be really careful not to be caught out.
Well, yeah. "Work with me," says the Brit,
but the rider from Denmark says,
"Well, no."
And there is the man, Gérald Monnier with an attack,
and the Polish rider is trying to follow.
Of course, this was the strongest man in the time trial.
He was the strongest in his qualification.
What a powerful, powerful performance.
[spectators clapping]
Everything is in pieces now in the peloton.
He rides here in memory of two of his comrades in arms.
[uplifting music building]
[in Danish] Come on! Let's go!
[commentator 2 in English] Second place for Australia, and third goes to Denmark.
[music trails off]
[coach yells]
[pants heavily]
-[in Danish] Fuck, that was great. -You're a machine, man.
[teammate] Boys, it looked so fucking awesome.
You were up there the whole time.
Holy shit, you were fast.
Amazingly well done.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Well deserved.
-Thank you so much for your help. -No problem.
You're so awesome.
Fuck, we're awesome.
I couldn't have done it without you.
You're so great, Kasper.
-Congratulations. -Thanks.
We did it.
Fuck. We did it.
What a great day it's been.
[crowd roaring]
[in English] Fucking legends.
[Folwell] Can I have that for Jenks? The coach who's not here.
[stirring, emotional music continuing]
We love you.
You really don't understand.
We are proud of you.
[emcee] Ladies and gentlemen,
in third place and winner of the bronze medal,
representing Denmark, Kasper Holm Henriksen.
[crowd cheering]
[no audible dialogue]
Tom, I've got to say, coming into this, you said you wanted to make the final.
You've done that and put on a hell of a show as well.
I hope people enjoyed it. All I can say, I'm so proud of all these.
It doesn't matter what color.
It's about the team spirit and the friendships we've made.
-Yeah. -I don't care about the result.
[Chalmers] When you first became the captain,
it's something that you found hard to understand,
but I can see how much you care about this gang.
You've alluded to it, but just how proud are you?
Speechless.
Yeah.
Yeah. They're amazing. I love them all.
Right, lads.
[Henriksen's wife] Hi.
[in Danish] Hey.
Can we see your medals?
Do you want to see my medals?
[kids] Yes.
Here you go, girls.
Can you see it, Antonia?
Dad, a baby bottle.
Yes, with a hole in it.
Dad, when will you come home?
I'll come home tonight.
And we'll see each other next weekend, right, girls?
Can you wish Dad a good flight home?
[Havannah] Have a nice flight.
Thank you, Havannah.
Can you say, "See you"?
-Bye-bye, see you. -See you.
[kids] Bye!
[instructor in English] Take that deep breath.
Recognize you're here and present.
If your eyes are closed, gently open them,
and welcome back.
[George] For a long time, I was trying to get away from myself.
I spend a lot more time in the future, and a lot of time in the past,
and brief moments in the now.
Oh wow, that's pretty.
But I'm at this crossroad now. I can't just run away forever.
Why didn't I come here before?
[gentle, thoughtful music playing]
Right now, I'm right here.
I'm not even in earlier today. I'm not in tomorrow. I'm right here.
I'm right here.
I've been in battle after battle after battle after battle after battle.
And I survive them, but ain't no wins, you know?
It ain't no... Like, what's next?
It's always, "What's next? What's next?"
For me, that whole meaning, the "unconquered"...
You have to let go of some stuff so that stuff don't conquer me. You know?
Yeah.
You can't be happy, conquered.
You can't be free if you're conquered.
Fuck.
I didn't expect this.
You couldn't plan for it. Couldn't think about this...
But I'm glad I'm here.
I'm glad everything happened the way it happened.
Because even my losses were wins.
[crowd cheering]
[Prince Harry] What a week.
If your goal was to make your country proud,
you've done it.
If your goal was to make your family happy,
you've achieved it.
If your goal was a medal, a PB, or to merely finish the race,
you've smashed it.
And if your goal was to leave stronger than when you arrived,
well, let's hear it.
There's a powerful quote. It's been doing the rounds this week.
"The wound is the place where the light enters you."
The very awareness you have of your wound, of your injury, of your illness,
is an opportunity for post-traumatic growth.
This is a blueprint of what the wider world needs today.
The power of resilience, the power of healing,
and the power of recovery.
I ask of you to bottle the memory and the feeling of this past week.
I am honored to have served alongside you.
[crowd roars]
Whoo!
Yeah!
-[sustained applause] -[somber, introspective music playing]
[applause trails off]
[music building]
[microphone clatters]
[Zelenskyy in Ukrainian] Ukrainian men and women...
All our defenders.
Finally, today I can announce
we've liberated the Ukrainian paramedic "Taira,"
Yuliia Paievska.
[terse, emotional music playing]
[Anna-Sofia] My father and I saw her at the hospital.
And I will be honest, I didn't recognize her.
I first thought this was a skinny boy,
about my age.
I hear her voice.
And I realize this is my mum.
[introspective music playing]
And we were all standing in silence for a couple of minutes,
hugging each other.
[Paievska] It was a period when I was sure
that I would be killed or die from torture.
About one month before I was released,
they stopped hitting me...
and that was when the Invictus Games started.
The Invictus Games shared my story with the whole world.
[in English] ...what happened to my mother.
Never forget what's happened in the whole Ukraine.
All those years she was saving lives,
and also she was fighting for my future.
-Cannot imagine how hard this must be. -Yes. It's hard.
[complex, emotional music playing]
[Paievska in Ukrainian] They realized they couldn't keep me captured anymore.
[Anna-Sofia in English] My mother is a brave woman,
and I ask you to be brave for her and for all Ukrainians.
[in Ukrainian] Glory to Ukraine.
[Paievska] I felt her power and potential...
but I couldn't imagine
that she would go and be so strong and powerful.
Obviously she's my daughter,
but I hope that she will become even cooler.
And I think that she will be happy.
It's the biggest thing. My biggest wish.
[emotional music rising]
[George in English] Change is important, a part of life.
Being here means it's another opportunity for me to be in the now.
'Cause I get to go diving,
and that's one of my now places where I really relax.
But also I get to share this moment with a few others.
-Hey, good to see you. -We just needed a tour guide.
Shit.
I'm doing great.
[Prince Harry] This is one of the best sites in the world.
You might see dolphins, whales, sharks.
[George] Sharks are friends. It's okay.
-Says the man with one arm. -Exactly.
-"Sharks are friends! I promise!" -Shark meat!
[adventurous, cathartic music playing]
[George] Being in The Hague, I feel the impact it had on my life.
It was so refreshing. The environment was so different.
Almost weightlessness.
Free as in stuff-off-my-shoulders free. I had fun watching my aunt have fun.
-Yeah. -Being there. That's something...
So did I. I enjoyed watching your aunt watch you.
[rolling, tranquil music playing]
[Henriksen] Before I started in the Invictus Games,
I couldn't be a part of birthdays, all the parties.
I couldn't sit with my family and eat. I had to leave.
[children laughing]
[in Danish] I can't carry you at the same time.
Yes, you can.
Havannah, come here.
Now you're also with Dad.
[in English] But a month ago, there was a day we were sitting together,
and I just... Suddenly, I feel so warm inside,
and I think this is the way I'm going to be as a father. Yeah.
[in Danish] You can't wipe your fingers on your dad.
[laughter]
[Park in Korean] Let's find some meat.
[Na] And then what's next, Narin?
Marshmallows.
[Na] Marshmallows.
For camping.
[Na] More than anything, this was an opportunity for me
to meet different disabled veterans from around the world.
I saw kids proud of their parents
who got injured during their service.
I want to be a stepping stone
for my daughter's growth.
I want her to gain wisdom
and learn how to overcome difficulties
by watching me work hard.
Hold it like you're eating a rib.
A marshmallow rib.
[Park] Marshmallow memories.
[Ling in English] I'm doing much better.
I went to rehab, and it was a life-changer for me.
I don't get as triggered as much.
I'm starting to build skills and learn how to socialize.
I'm thinking about going dating.
I'd like to have somebody to go with, have fun with.
I know there will be setbacks, but I'm willing to continue growing.
Oh yes.
[Tania] Harvey, you have to do something to stop Daddy.
-No! -Uno.
How lucky are you?
[Folwell] Being asked to be captain has given me confidence to try coaching.
Man for man!
And I'm able to push myself into doing anything.
It won't be even like that. You will be longer on the left than on the right.
[interviewer] So, Tom, I hear you've been busy the last few months.
-No. -No?
[cathartic music building]
I'd say the biggest change I've had is that I'm not quiet anymore.
I make an effort more.
Well, thank you very much.
I'm very impressed, guys. Thank you very much.
[Folwell] I seem to be getting better
at holding one-to-one conversations with people.
Yeah!
So, I guess the future is obviously bright,
but where it goes, who knows?
-[George] Let's go diving. -[Prince Harry] Yes.
[air valve hisses]
Thank you.
[George] When I started my journey of healing,
I was told about finding things that make you feel good.
I know there's things I need help with. I stretch myself too thin.
But this whole process, I've let go of a lot.
I'm able to live more moments in the present.
[emotional music rising]
I'm still very much Gabe.
I'm just a little wiser, a little bit older.
Lighter in spirit. Lighter in mind.
I believe that my future is going to keep bringing healing
to myself and to others.
I believe my future's going to keep bringing more positive experiences and joy
to myself and others.
[Anna-Sofia in Ukrainian] I've got something in my eye.
[Paievska] How do I take away something positive from this hell?
Very good.
You're a smart cookie.
Everyone who got through captivity,
who have injuries,
they also have a chance to get strength from
this experience instead of weakness.
This is Invictus
unconquered.
