[narrator] Sixteen celebrities \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hhave enlisted \h\hin real military training.
\h\h\h\h\hTen days to prove \h\h\h\h\h\hthey can endure physically and emotionally.
\h\h\h\h\hNo prizes, no special treatment.
This is Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] In the last seven days,
the course has claimed \h\h\h\h\hten recruits.
Just six remain.
You continue punching. \h\h\hYou do not stop.
[Billy] Hit him! Hit him!
\h\h\h\h\h\h-Gas, gas, gas! -[Billy] Find another way!
\h\h\h\h[narrator] And after the most brutal 24 hours yet...
\h\h\h\h\h-Fail! -I was so close.
-[Billy] This way. This way! \h\h\h\h\h-...one recruit...
\h\h\h-Big fat fail! -...is at his limit.
\h\h\h\h\hThat’s suffering. That’s what that is. Suffering.
I said I wasn’t gonna quit, but it’s a young man’s game.
What’s going on?
I don’t wanna be a hindrance \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hto the team.
Are you over this?
[Mike sighs, groans]
\h\h\h[narrator] Number 5, Mike Piazza,
has had a rough night...
[groans]
...suffering with injuries sustained
on selection yesterday.
Mike, how’s your face feeling?
Uh, not good.
[groans]
-You had the craziest day. \h\h-I know. It was crazy.
I don’t care if we’re playing \h\h\h\hminiature golf today.
I couldn’t even do it.
If you feel that, \hI respect that 100%.
You know what? I love you guys.
But if you’re weak and you’re starting to make mistakes,
you’re gonna hurt the team.
-I’m really proud of you. \h\h\h-I appreciate that.
Freaking warrior.
When I realized that the fire was going out in my career,
\h\h\h\hthen I knew I had to turn the page.
[Dwight] Uh, staff.
\h\h\h\h\hDuty Recruit 5 wishes to withdraw, sir.
-Just wait down there. \h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, sir.
[Mike] I retired in 2007.
I could have squeezed out \h\h\h\hanother year or two,
\h\h\h\hbut I didn’t wanna be 60 or 70% of my former self.
[Billy] OK. What’s up?
\h\h\h\hMy decision is to, uh, retire, sir.
-You want to voluntary withdraw? -Yes, sir.
You were running on the reserve, \h\h\h\h\h\hand the thing was, you were still smashing it.
Thank you.
\h\h\h\hI do believe this is the end of the road for you.
Give me your armband.
Yes, sir.
Away you go.
\h\h\h\h\h[Mike] The best part was just being on a team again,
and that’s what I miss.
-Love you, dude. \h-Love you, man.
[Mike] When an athlete retires, you miss your guys.
[sniffs]
[narrator] Mike Piazza \h\his the 11th recruit
to leave the course.
Now just five remain.
\h\h\h\h[Gus] They want 110%, and I wanna give them that,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbut I’m, like, I haven’t got back up to 100.
-I haven’t recharged. \h\h\h\h\h-I know.
When you do go to war, you never know when it’s gonna end.
You have no idea.
\h[Carli] We’ve gotten to this point, like...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[Dwight] Yeah. -We got reserves in the tank.
We just gotta help each other.
\h\h\h[Billy] That’s why selection is relentless.
It’s preparing you for war.
[Billy] Number 4!
What’s morale like in there?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hUm, we’re all on our fuel reserve tank.
\hWhat do you mean, you’re on your reserve?
You’ve had more sleep than a dead man.
\h\hYou are about to get to the crucial part now.
\h\h\h\h\h-We’re ready. -You’d better be ready.
\h\h\h\h\hAnd you know what? You’d better make ’em ready.
\h\h\h\hBecause you are the duty recruit today.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff. -All right, get amongst it.
\h\h\h\h\h\hGet the morale up. Get ’em ready. Make it happen.
-Yes, staff. -Disappear.
\h\hI’ve proven to myself I can overcome anything.
\hThis is my moment to start living my life
\h\h\hto its fullest and truest potential.
-What’s up, duty recruit? -I’m here to boost morale.
-How is everybody? -[Dwight] Amazing.
-We’re fantastic. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Great!
Uh, breakfast is in ten minutes.
-All right. \h\h\h\h-11:30.
What’s on the menu for this morning?
\h\h\h\hUm... this morning you’ll have omelets, bacon,
toast, Belgian waffles...
\h-Oh! -Damn.
...with berry compote and whipped cream.
She’s a bit girl at heart.
[laughs]
I am.
\h\h\h\h-Chow’s ready! -[Dwight] What is that?
[Hannah] [bleep] mush.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Dwight] I want some [bleep] eggs.
[Carli] I know.
Would you rather go to jail for ten days or do this again?
-I think jail might be better. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[laughter]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Oh, jail. -[Rudy] Ruck up, recruits!
Get on the parade square! \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLet’s go!
[Gus coughs]
[Rudy] In special operations, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\has you know,
\h\h\h\h\hwe are always up against unbelievable odds.
We operate in small teams
\h\h\h\hagainst often much larger forces.
\h\h\hWe demand courage in each and every one of you
and as a collective.
Remember, against all odds \h\hyou must prevail.
And it’s all courage.
It’s all heart.
\h-Am I understood? -[recruits] Yes, staff.
\h\h\h\hAll right, uh, 16, 8, bust out, open up the gate.
-You’re gonna load up. -[Hannah] Come on, 13.
[Rudy] Let’s go!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] The recruits have been brought
to the port of Aqaba...
[Rudy] Ranger file! Step it out!
...to face the most physically \h\h\h\h\hchallenging exercise
of selection so far,
the helicopter extraction.
[Foxy] Right, Bergens off. Put ’em down in front of you.
\h\hIn special operations, those things, Black Hawks,
they are our warhorse.
\h\h\h\hThat is what we travel into battle on 90% of the time.
They’re also our freedom bird.
I have been on a job where I’ve had to climb off a moving ship
\h\h\h\h\h\hat night in big seas into a helicopter to get off it.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] This is one of the toughest
\h\h\hspecial forces extraction techniques
and will be demonstrated \h\h\h\h\h\h\hby DS Remi.
Right, pay attention \h\h\h\hto the demo.
[narrator] To pass this task,
first recruits must jump from a fast-moving boat to a buoy.
\hThen, when the rope is within three feet,
\h\hswim against the helicopter downdraft and climb to safety.
This task is a monster.
\hWe’re expecting recruits to climb up a sodden wet rope
into a moving helicopter.
\h\h\h\hIt doesn’t get more brutal than that.
That was insane.
When it comes to this task,
step out your comfort zone \h\h\hand get the job done,
’cause if you don’t get out of there,
\h\hthe chances are you’re gonna die.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Foxy] Those things, Black Hawks,
they are our freedom bird.
Nine times out of ten,
\h\h\h\hthat is the only way you’re getting out of there.
If you don’t get out of there,
\h\hthe chances are you’re gonna die.
\h\h\h\h-Is that clear? -[recruits] Yes, staff!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] The five remaining recruits
\h\h\hare about to attempt the helicopter extraction.
\h\h\hFirst to try, the only non-athlete left on the course,
Number 4, Hannah Brown.
[Remi] Hey, Four, on me.
\hAll right, so, you gotta try and get up as fast as you can.
\hThe longer you hang on that rope, the harder it’s gonna be.
\h\h-I’m gonna try my best. -All right, you got this.
Yeah, thank you.
[Rudy] Sit down there.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Hannah] I am naturally athletic
but never really played sports.
[Rudy] If you can get your feet on the knots,
stand up, work your hands.
\h\hHave confidence in your abilities.
Yes, staff.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Hannah] Because my mom was, like,
"You’re gonna do dance."
Like, "That’s the thing \h\h\h\hthat girls do."
I’ll dispatch you into the sea
\h\h\hand you will stand by till the bird comes to you
and deploys the rope.
[Hannah] OK.
[Hannah] That fit the path,
more so than getting all dirty
and playing sports,
even though I was always kind of interested in it.
-Do not give up. -I won’t give up.
[Hannah] I want to build up \h\h\h\h\h\h\hthat confidence
mentally and physically,
that I can do the things
that I never thought I could.
-Jump away from the boat! \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff.
[Rudy] Get ready!
Go!
Come on, get up.
[Carli] It’s so difficult.
[Billy yelling]
[Gus] She can’t pull up.
[exhales]
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Foxy] I’ve been in turbulent seas,
and I’ve had to haul myself up \h\h\h\h\h\hinto a helicopter.
[Rudy] Fail!
\h\h\h[Foxy] It was at night, carrying fighting equipment,
\h\h\hand, quite frankly, the people around me’s lives
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hdepended on getting into that helicopter.
[Remi] Number 4, to me!
\hThis is not the spa. Keep your head up and kick harder!
[Foxy] What happened?
The bottom knot was still
just a little high for me
to, like, pull up,
and I just couldn’t...
\h\h\h-Couldn’t grip. -...couldn’t get it.
-But I tried to hold on. -Not good enough, was it?
I know. Yeah, it wasn’t. Yeah.
\h\h\hAs soon as you grab on, you gotta swing your legs up.
Get your knees up there.
I think you’ll all have a little bit more upper body strength.
I think you’ll be able to do it, but if you don’t get it,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\htrying to swim with that helicopter was hard.
[narrator] Number 8, Olympic \hsoccer player Carli Lloyd,
\his next to attempt the heli extraction.
Don’t psyche yourself out.
When the helo’s coming in,
the water feels like pellets \h\hhitting you in the face.
Turn your head a little bit, \h\h\h\h\h\hget your breath,
breathe, breathe, breathe, \h\h\hand then turn back in
so you can see what’s going on.
[Rudy] Number 8, on me!
[Carli] Throughout my career, \h\h\h\hI was always doubted.
"She’s not fit enough, not technical enough."
[Rudy] Use your feet. \h\h\hUse your legs.
-You got knots. \h\h\h\h-Yeah.
Think of your hands, \h\h\h\hsteel hooks.
I used it as extra fuel \h\h\h\hto motivate me.
[Rudy] Stand by.
[Carli] No one can set limits \hon yourself but yourself.
Go!
Come on, use your feet! \h\h\h\h\hGet up there!
Come on! Come on!
-[Danny] Come on. -Come on, Eight!
[Billy] Hand over, hand over, hand over!
It’s so hard.
\h\h\h\h[Foxy] When faced with an impossible challenge,
we want to see recruits go out there believing they can do it.
It’s not about passing the task. It’s about their approach to it.
[Rudy] She’s going again!
Come on, don’t fall.
[Rudy] Go!
[Hannah] Oh, has she got it?
[Rudy] That’s a fail!
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Remi] Keep that freestyle going.
All the way in. Don’t stop.
[narrator] Number 8, Carli \hLloyd, is the second recruit
\h\hto be defeated by the rope climb.
\h\h\hI feel like I got a good position at first on the rope,
got up a little bit.
Then I was just gassed.
It was an half good effort,
but it weren’t a great effort.
-Didn’t get up there, so... \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Go on.
\h\h\h-Thanks, staff. -Sort yourself out.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Hannah] You got up a little bit.
-Nice effort. \h\h\h-Yeah.
Second time around, I feel like I had a better footing,
and I was working my way up, and then I just... I burnt.
[groans]
\h\h\h\h[narrator] The enormity of the task
\h\h\h\h\hhas concerned the remaining recruits.
Key to this is speed.
You will burn your arms out \h\h\h\h\hthe longer you take.
You gotta get the job done. OK?
[narrator] And Number 16, Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola,
is having serious doubts.
[growls]
[Danny] When I feel like \hthere’s a mission
or an objective or a goal,
my pain tolerance is not important.
I will not quit.
I will be tough and gritty
and do whatever it takes.
[Rudy] You got eyes on the buoy?
-Yes, staff. -12 o’clock.
I always had that competitive edge, and I still have it.
Go!
\h[Danny] It’s a fire that burns inside of me.
[Billy] Go!
Go, go, go!
First one, baby!
How did that feel?
\hIt was good. Tried to get the knots in between my feet.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah. -And just stabilize, push.
So I could use my feet at least a little bit,
’cause if it was all arms, I would have been gassed.
-It was a good effort. \h\h-Thank you, staff.
\h\h\h\h\hGood effort. Go on, get over there.
Thank you, staff.
\h-[Hannah] Good job. -[Dwight] How was that?
[Danny] It was a lot of energy.
-The helicopter was... \h\h\h-It was [bleep].
They’re monsters, man.
\h\hThere’s a lot of spray, a lot of water everywhere.
My shoulder’s killing me.
[Remi] Number 13, you’re up.
[Dwight] I’m not really good \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith water.
\h\h\h[Rudy] Turn around. Put your foot on the gunnel.
[groans]
You’re gonna park your ass \h\hright there facing me.
I am most nervous and scared about being in the ocean.
There’s no buoy over there. \h\h\hThe buoy’s at the back.
That’s your insert point. \h\h\h\h\h\hYou got it?
-Dead ahead, 12 o’clock. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-I see it.
Since I was first told \habout the selection,
I’ve been thinking about jumping into a big mass of water.
Am I gonna get scared? And what am I gonna do?
Go!
[Remi] He let go of the buoy \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\htoo early,
so now he’s expending energy \htrying to get to the rope.
Come on, come on! Come on, come on!
\h\h\h\h-Let’s go! -Come on, come on!
Come on, come on!
[Foxy]
[Billy] Come on, come on!
Come on, come on! Come on, come on!
Come on!
[Billy] We’ve got a problem!
Divers, in you go! Go! Go, go!
[Billy] We’ve got a problem!
\h\h\h\h[narrator] Number 13, Dwight Howard, is in trouble.
[Billy] Divers, in you go!
\h\h\hHe’s underwater and has failed to surface.
Go, go!
\h\hThe safety team have been deployed.
[Billy] Whenever you go \hon any operation,
you have to be focused.
Because as soon as you start \h\h\hto break that down,
you become a liability.
\h\h\h\h\h\hThat will result in you either getting killed
or somebody else getting killed.
Run in. Run, run. What part of run don’t you understand?
Run it all the way in.
[Gus] No.
-It’s [bleep] pretty tough. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-It’s a lot.
\h\h\h[narrators] Of the five recruits,
Number 16, Danny Amendola,
\his the only one to pass the task.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Last to go... -[Remi] Number 10, you’re up.
...Olympic freestyle skier \h\h\h\h\h\hGus Kenworthy.
\h\h\h-[Rudy] On the gunnel. -[Danny] You got this, buddy.
\h\h\h\h[Gus] Staff, I set my number down,
and I’m just realizing I think it might have blown somewhere.
-So you VW? -[laughs] No.
[Foxy] In the special forces,
it’s drilled into you to be accountable.
If you leave equipment \h\h\h\hon the ground,
you could be compromised.
It is unforgiveable.
We’ll deal with it later. You’ll pay the man for it.
-You know what you gotta do? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAll right, 10. You think you’re gonna do it?
\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff. -Good. Great attitude.
\h\h\h\h\h[Gus] I don’t think I was naturally the best skier.
I think I am really disciplined,
\hand I worked really hard, and I fell in love with it.
\h\h\h\h[Rudy] All right, we got the bird at our six. Here we go!
-You see the buoy? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yes.
Twelve o’clock. Go!
[Gus] I tend to set my sights \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hon something
\hand then get tunnel vision where that’s all I focus on.
\h\h\hI just, like, get this kind of tractor vision.
[Rudy] Let’s go, 10!
Come on, come on!
Go, go, go!
Hand over, hand over, hand over!
Jeez, he’s swinging.
You’re almost there!
Finish strong!
[Foxy] We’re in the final stages of selection.
\h\h\h\h\hThis task is hard, but they are serious contenders
if they can show us \h\h\h\hthey can pass.
You were like a sewer rat \h\h\h\h\h\hup a drainpipe.
Thank you, staff.
I was half expecting you
to do some stupid backflip \h\hout the helicopter.
I’ve learned my lesson, staff.
-Good effort. Go on. \h-Thank you, staff.
\h\h\h\h-There, buddy. -Thank you, thank you.
\h\h-You killed it, Gus. -[Dwight] That was good.
\h\h\h\hI mean, that is a cheeky, cheeky task.
I mean, two obvious passes. \h\h\h\h\hThe rest were fails.
-But what about you, mate? \h\h-[Billy] Number 10.
\h\h\h\h\h\hLots of effort, but he made it look easy.
It was all arms, bang, bang, \h\hbang, bang, straight up.
-How was his ego when he got in? -[Billy] No ego.
\h\h\h-Cool. Perfect. -[Billy] Eight, um...
\h\h\h\h\h\hShe went at it, and it was a good effort.
-It really was a good effort. \h-[Remi] Very good effort.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah. -[Billy] Really good.
She went further than 13.
\h\h13 gets out the water, and he walks that path the entire time.
I told him, run.
[Rudy] No intensity, no nothing.
[Remi] He shuffled, OK?
Like, does he want to actually
succeed at this whole thing?
[Billy] He’s just on borrowed time now.
[Rudy] Let’s see how much he has left.
All right, get your Bergens on. Get ready to move.
On me!
Buddy, buddy.
I was gonna try it, but...
I feel you, brother.
[Dwight groans]
That was exhausting.
I’m dead. How do you feel?
-Donezo. -[laughs]
I don’t think I’ve ever felt \hthis exhausted in my life.
[Dwight] It was squeezing \h\h\hthe air out of us.
During selection, the course only gets faster and harder.
The body will get exhausted. \h\h\hIt will say "Quit."
[Rudy] What we’re looking for in the recruits is a mindset
\hthat can quiet the voices and accomplish the mission.
Where you at, 13?
[Dwight] Oh, man.
[Rudy] Right this way, 13.
Sit.
[door bangs shut]
So, why we’re bringing you \h\h\h\h\hin here now
is because we feel like \h\h\h\h\hthere’s been
somewhat of a regression \hin the performance.
I’ve noticed it even in running to and from tasks.
It just seems like you’re not all there.
It seems like you’re not all in.
Um...
I just didn’t have enough energy to go faster.
My... I ain’t got no excuses.
[Remi] Commitment, staying committed to the process,
\h\h\h\hseems to be something that’s a challenge for you.
Has that ever been said \h\h\h\hto you before,
you are not committed, you don’t commit?
\h\h\h\h-No. -You’ve not?
Maybe in a relationship,
like a girlfriend or something.
So let’s back up for a second,
’cause I wanna try and get to the bottom
of this whole commitment thing.
\h\h\h\h\hI’m gonna ask some personal questions
\h\hso we can help each other figure this thing out together.
What was your relationship like with your dad?
\h\h\h\hUh, my dad was a cop, so he was always on the go.
\h\h\hIt was hard to really talk to him.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI wouldn’t say that he wasn’t a role model,
but he was just always working \hor doing other things, so...
-Now you’ve been a parent. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Mm-hm.
\h\h\hHave you taken anything from the way your father was
to the way you’ve committed to your relationships now?
\h\h\h\hOh, yes. Um, I try to do everything for my kids.
\h\h\h\hI just try to be a great role model to them.
Uh, I don’t try to go out \h\h\hand do stuff for show.
\h\h\h\h\hI want them to be exactly who they are, you know,
’cause I wasn’t able to do that with my family, even now.
\h\hI don’t really trust my family... my parents,
’cause it’s like they always judge me, you know, so...
Why do you feel they judge you? What do you mean, judge?
Because I...
All right, so, being in the NBA,
we’re around a lot of different things, you know, so...
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI grew up with a Christian background,
so me having women \haround me a lot,
they don’t like that.
Me chilling with my homeboys, \h\h\hthey judge me for that.
But it’s like I tell them,
man, I been doing my job \h\h\h\h\h\hfor 18 years,
I been consistently having a job for 18 years.
[Remi] I know sometimes \hit may seem like
we’re treating you like the bad guy,
but it’s because we know that there’s more in you.
\h\h\h\hAnd we’re trying to pull that more out of you.
\h\hYou haven’t got a lot of time left
to really smash out who you are.
You’re gonna get a lot out of this
if you start to show that more \heffort, that more commitment.
\h\h\h\h\h\hIf this is what you guys are saying,
then I’ll just do... \h\h\hI’ll do better.
Head up, in the game.
Understood.
Guard!
[Dwight] I’m not gonna run \h\hfrom the challenge.
I’m looking forward to at the end of this,
no matter what happens, of being a better version for myself.
All right, 13, fall in with your brothers and your sisters \h\h\h\hin there. Let’s go.
-How was it? -Oh, tough.
\hTough, tough, tough. Tough. But I needed it.
I’m glad they talked to me.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hWhat temp does that thermometer say?
It says... 90... 95.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOh, wow. Winter storm warnings in effect.
-[laughter] -[Dwight] Huh.
-Number 10! -Yes, staff!
Come here!
-[Hannah] Do you need help? \h\h\h\h\h-[Gus] I don’t know.
[narrator] On the last task, \h\hNumber 10, Gus Kenworthy,
mislaid his armband...
-[Gus] Thank you, Carli. \h\h\h\h-Twenty seconds!
...and is due a DS punishment.
You better hurry up, Number 10, or everybody’s joining you.
[Carli] Here.
[Remi] Ten seconds!
-Do you know what time it is? -Time to pay the man, sir.
Exactly. OK. Why?
\h\h\h\hFor not keeping track of my... possessions, staff.
\h\h\hIf you don’t take care of that gear and you need it,
you’re screwed and you will compromise your entire team.
\hAll right, go get wet and completely sandy head to toe.
Yes, staff.
Let’s go. Hurry up. Get completely sandy.
Face, hair, back.
Use your hands to put the sand in your face and in your hair.
OK, report back on the rock.
-OK, now 20 burpees. \h\h\h\h\h-[exhales]
[Remi] Count out.
[Gus] Two...
\h\h\h\hI’m pretty good at compartmentalizing.
I’ve had tons of injuries \h\h\hand surgeries...
\h\h-13! -Louder.
14!
\hI’ve had to compete through pain for years,
and it’s something that I’m able to shift my focus away from
to deal with the task at hand.
20!
Why is your number important?
It’s my identification, staff.
Something happens to you,
we gotta be able to tell Mommy \h\h\h\h\hthat you indeed died.
-Yes, staff. -All right?
It is currently 3:25.
You will stay wet and sandy \h\h\h\h\h\h\huntil 4:25.
-You understand? \h\h-Yes, staff.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYou think that’s a fair punishment?
Be honest.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI think \hit’s a more severe punishment than other people have gotten,
but also we’re further along \h\h\h\hon the journey, so...
\h\h\h\h\h\h-Exactly. -Make an example of me.
\h\h\h\h\h-I understand. -Yeah. So you know what?
\hI like that you were honest, so instead of it being an hour,
it’ll be 30 minutes.
\h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff. -All right. Good to go.
Thank you.
[coughs]
\h\h\h\h\h-[bleep] -[coughing continues]
[Carli] Is he OK?
You all right? Hmm?
I got this horrible feeling \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin my chest.
[coughs]
[bleep]
[coughs]
-[Remi] You all right? \h\h\h\h\h-[coughs]
-What happened? \h\h-[coughs]
[Carli] His chest.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Remi] He needs to see the doctor.
[coughs]
\h\h[narrator] Number 10, Gus Kenworthy, is unwell,
and his condition is worsening.
-You got an emergency patient. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[medic] OK.
[Remi] Hey, Number 10, \h\h\h\h\h\hcome here!
[medic] What’s up?
\h\h\hI feel like something’s in my throat or in my lungs.
OK.
So, what, it’s like tight throat or tight stomach?
[narrator] Right now, the medic is unclear
what’s caused the reaction.
I know you’re allergic \h\h\h\hto bee stings.
It kind of feels like that.
-Allergic reaction? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah.
But he needs to act fast.
\h\h\h\h\h\hI’m gonna give you a bit of a shot of adrenaline.
Gonna need to give this to you \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin the thigh.
\h\h\hDid you see what happened to Gus?
\h\h\h\h\h\hHe just ran into the doctor’s office.
-Something’s in his throat. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[bleep]
[Danny] He was distraught \h\h\h\h\h\hwalking in.
\h\h\h\h\h-My heart’s pounding. -[medic] It’s OK. There you go.
\h\hNo, something’s... something’s not right.
Can you just bring the drips down round this side, please?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThere you go. That’s what it was. Don’t worry.
[narrator] The cause of Number \h\h10’s condition is unknown.
\h\hBut he has suffered \h\ha life-threatening anaphylactic reaction.
-Feel better now it’s out? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-No.
I feel like my body’s shaking.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[medic] Um, what I’m gonna need, Remi,
is I’m gonna need an ambulance transfer,
’cause we’ve got a risk of rebound anaphylaxis.
OK.
\h\h\h\hWe do need to take you to hospital after anaphylaxis.
\h\h[narrator] Gus Kenworthy is being medically withdrawn.
He is the 12th recruit \hto leave the course.
Now just four remain.
[Foxy] On this course, you can be smashing it,
\h\h\h\hnailing all the physical challenges,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbeing on top of your mental robustness,
\h\h\h\hbut sometimes things are just out of your control.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGod, I wonder what’s going on with Gus.
-Hopefully he’s all good. \h\h\h\h\h\h-[Hannah] Yeah.
-He’s really sweet. \h\h\h\h\h-I know.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[narrator] News of the medical withdrawal
has reached the others.
\h\h\h\hCome next door into the canteen area.
The DS decide it’s time \h\h\hfor the recruits
to face the harsh reality
\h\h\h\h\h\hof a career in the special forces.
Grab a seat. Sit down. Pin your ears back.
Life in special operations \h\h\h\h\h\h\his dangerous.
We’re expected to go away \h\h\h\hat the drop of a hat \h\h\h\hto far-flung places,
\hwe’re not allowed to tell our loved ones, our friends and family,
where we’re going or how long for,
and ultimately we are engaging in combat, in war fighting.
And because of that we have to write
what can be best described \h\h\h\has a death letter.
\h\h\h\h\hSo it’s basically your opportunity to put on paper
\h\h\h\hwhat you want to say when you don’t come home.
We get the recruits to write death letters
because it’s important for them to realize
\h\h\h\h\hthe world that we’ve come from.
\h\hIf the worst is to happen, you are leaving people behind.
\h\h\h-13. -Yes, sir.
- Are you finished? \h\h\h\h\h- No, staff.
\h\h\h\hI got five kids, so I’m only on my fourth one.
-Finish that off. \h\h\h\h\h-Yes, staff.
Then what I want you to do,
\h\h\h\h\hI want you to read your letters out to each other.
Yes, staff.
\h\h\h\hWhat he want us to do is read the letters out loud.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Danny] What if you don’t wanna read it?
It’s gonna be difficult, but he said you have to.
-[Danny] Let’s rip. \h\h\h\h-Are we ready?
\h\h\h\h"To my family, my mom, Matt, and Dad.
Our time together \hmeant the most to me
\h\h\h\hin this whole earthly experience.
\h\h\h\h\hAll of you were there when I showed up in this world.
\h\hSadly you will still... Sadly you’re still here while I leave.
[sniffs]
\h\h\hI love you. Thank you for giving me your heart.
As you know, you have mine."
Oh, [bleep]. Ah! It’s so hard.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Danny] "To my mom, Matt, and Dad.
[clears throat]
[sniffs] I love you.
\h\hI’ll be with our fallen family members in heaven,
and will be watching over you."
Oh! It’s so hard.
"Mom, if you are reading this, \h\h\h\h\h\hI did not make it.
I know that we always didn’t see eye to eye when I... growing up,
but I want you to know
that you are the best mom I could have ever asked for,
and I wouldn’t be who I am \h\h\h\h\h\h\hwithout you.
I love you."
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Carli] When I made that decision
to 100% commit to soccer,
that meant sacrificing time \h\h\h\h\h\h\hwith my family.
"Dad, I’ve always been a daddy’s little girl.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hI feel that... I feel like I hurt you the most.
I know we can’t get back \h\hthose times we lost.
\h\h\h\hIf you’d died, I would have had...
the most regret ever \hin my whole life."
Not speaking to my family \h\h\h\h\h\h\hfor 12 years,
um, it came with costs.
-[Danny] Thank you. \h\h\h\h\h-[sniffs]
Thank you.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Hannah] "Writing this letter is hard.
For those who read it, I know it’s harder.
Mom, Dad, I love you so much.
\h\h\h\hPlease don’t let being without me break you.
Live bigger for me."
\h\hEvery insecurity that I’ve had, like,
has been, like, put out \hfor others to see
and to just prey on,
but the only thing that really matters
\h\h\h\h\h\his what people who actually know me say about me.
"I can’t begin to adequately express how grateful I am
\h\h\h\h\hfor all the love I have experienced in my life."
\h\h\h\h\hMy parents love me, and that’s what’s important.
"You made sure I had a life \h\h\h\hthat was so complete.
Wherever I am, I feel your love.
Wherever you are, \h\hyou feel mine."
[groans]
[sniffs]
[sniffs] "Uh, dear family.
If you’re reading this letter,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthis means that I have passed away,
\hand I wish I had one opportunity...
one more opportunity to smell, see, touch
and tell you guys how much I love you."
[sniffs]
Take your time, brother.
"First to my children. You have no idea how much I love you.
And I wish I was given \h\h\h\hthe opportunity
to show you how much I care."
[Dwight] I have five children.
\h\h\h\hI think that my kids are the biggest blessings
that I could ever have.
\h\h\h\h"You are so amazing and precious and beautiful.
You inspire me, motivate me,
and you have my whole heart."
[sobs]
I love them more than anything, I would die for them,
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand I think they’re the most beautiful, \hprecious things on Earth.
\h\h"I love all my children and I wanna see you again.
I want you to all have my spirit and never give up,
no retreat, no surrender, \h\h\hand I love you."
That was awesome.
\h\h[Foxy] Reflecting on your mortality is hard,
but opening up and sharing \h\hemotion with your team,
it creates trust, breeds it,
which is essential on the battlefield.
\h\h\hMan, we got group therapy tonight.
[laughs]
\h\h\hI might get a new tat that represent all of us.
I’d put y’all faces on my damn back.
[laughs]
\h[Carli] Seriously, it’s like self-therapy.
[Hannah] Good night, y’all. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hLove ya.
[all] Night. Love you too.
[Hannah] I mean, people have made it to the end, so why can’t we?
-[narrator] Next time... \h\h\h\h\h\h-Just exhale.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Remi] This is your introduction...
[Billy] Go!
...into not being able \h\h\hto breathe.
[Billy] You muppet!
-Now it’s all about survival. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-[Rudy yells]
[Foxy] They’ll never be sleeping in those beds again.
[Remi] Let’s go, go! Now, now!
Stay calm.
Turn your lights off.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Hannah] I can’t tell where we are.
What the hell are they doing?
[Rudy] They’re closing on ’em.
[Carli] You all right?
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h[Billy] They are in a world of pain.
