02x02 - Episode 2

[bunniefuu]

[Controller] You've completed your
first mission here in Thailand.

Please.

[Controller] But one pair has failed.

We're just not ready for it to be over.

Cat and Maiya. You let your
emotions get the better of you.

[Cat exhales]

[Controller] It affected
your performance.

-Love you.
-Love you too.

Sid and Shabina, you got there in the end.

Mainly thanks to
Shabina. But was it enough?

[♪ Ominous music playing]

[Cat exhales]

[Controller] The first pair to
face elimination is...

Come on.

[♪ Ominous music gets louder, then stops]

[Controller] Sid and Shabina.

Ohhhh!

Oh!

Oh my God!

[♪ Uplifting music plays]

-It's a shame.
-It's alright.

-Oh, it's a shame.
-It's alright.

[sobbing]

[Controller] Cat and Maiya.

See you on the next mission.

-We did it.
-Next time...

We need to be stronger. We need
to be tougher. We need to do better.

[Shabina] We've done the best
that we could.

I don't think we could have
done any more or less.

But he exploited all our weaknesses.

[Controller] Sid and Shabina.

You were the slowest.
You now face elimination.

You need to go to Bangkok...

Bangkok.

[Controller] ...where you will go
head-to-head with another pair

to fight to stay in the game.

Right, let's find out
who they'll be up against.

[mobile phone vibrates]

Hello - [in Thai] we are ready.

[Sofia] Everything's ready
for the next four pairs, sir.

[♪ Ominous music plays]

[♪ Orchestral stabs]

[Controller] Good. I hope
they've got a head for heights.

[♪ James Bond Theme plays]

[♪ Music stops]

[sound of a boat engine]

[♪ Exciting music plays]

[Luke] Well, mate, who
would've thought it?

See what the mean streets
of Bangkok have got for us.

The mean streets of Bangkok.

-[Controller] Who's in Bangkok?
-First pair are best friends,

[Sofia] Sam and Luke.

Second pair are Steven and Shelley.

Taxi driver and housing officer.

Married for 28 years.

[Shelley] We do need to have
a little bit of a game plan.

-Rather than "Let's see what happens!"
-[Steven] Yeah, yeah.

[Sofia] Third pair, father and son,
Dan and Dylan.

[Dan] Look at this, Dylan.

Look at this. A whole different culture.

[Psychologist] Describe one another.
How are you different?

I don't think there's anything
normal about us, if I'm honest.

[Dan] There's not too many people wearing
eye patches paired with my son, Dylan.

Never really thought I'd
be able to go on a trip like this.

[Dan] He's got autism, and he hasn't got
the self-confidence to spread his wings.

And so this is now his opportunity to fly.

[♪ Music fades]

[Alex] Are you ready?

-[Rob] I'm ready.
-Are you motivated and determined?

I am ready for today.
Whatever it throws at us.

[in Thai] Thank you.

[in Thai] Thank you.

[Sofia] And the final pair are
married couple Rob and Alex.

Why do you think you can do this?

As a good friend once described it,
I won the genetic lottery.

I always got straight A's despite
the fact that I didn't study at all.

I speak seven languages fluently.

I get by in 30. I was also a three-time
national champion gymnast.

You had to win the gold medal.
You could hold it up.

You could touch it with your hands. Bite
it with your teeth and say, there you go.

That's all the proof you need
that I'm the champion and the best.

[mobile phone vibrates]

Your phone.

Oh. Oh, no. What now?

[phone beeps]

Welcome to Thailand.

Three pairs have successfully completed
their mission in the islands.

One pair failed and
will now face elimination.

One of you will join them.

Your mission in Bangkok
is to retrieve a hard drive

and upload its contents back to me.

This mission is a test of your

relationship and how well you
communicate under pressure.

The three fastest pairs will win



-That's twenty-five grand.
-Wooo! Haha!

[Controller] Come last,
and you'll face elimination.

Now go to Sinn Sathorn Tower.

The hard drive you need is in the offices
of the Carver Media Group Network.

Good luck.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

-[Luke] Ey up.
-[Sam] Here we go.

[Luke] Sinn Sathorn Tower,
mate. We're here.

Whoa! The size of that.

Start the clock.

[digital clock beeps]

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

-You have a look, there.
-Okay.

Carver Media Group Network.
Looks like it could be on here.

-Can you see it on there?
-I can't, mate.

Oh!

Not on the boards.

[Dan] Dylan, found it.
So, we are floor sixteen.

[Dylan] Perfect.
[Dan] Right. Let's go.

[♪ Suspenseful music stops]

[Rob] Okay. Do you want to ask the guy?

[in Thai] Hello.

Uh...

Uhm...

[in Thai] You...

[in Thai] can help me

[in Thai] can you?

[in Thai] You...

[in Thai] know...

[in Thai] that...

Carver Media Group…

[in Thai] is where?

I don't think...

[in Thai] Thank you.

Found it.

-[Steven] Already?
-[Shelley] Carver Media Group Network.

[Shelley] It's abbreviated. Floor 16.

-Ah, CMGN, floor 16.
-[Sam] Alright.

[elevator bell dings]

-[Dan] Eyes peeled.
-[Dylan] Yeah.

[Dan] Wow, this place is old school.

-[bell dings]
-[Steven] Carver Media Group.

[Steven] It's a hard drive.

[Shelley] Let's scan
the whole place first.

[Steven] Okay. Do you know what?

Let's look in the filing cabinets.

-I'm scanning the whole place first.
-[Steven] Go ahead.

No, that's empty.

Rob, I've looked in both of these,
and they're empty.

No, not here.

Ah, what's this?

[whirring]

Mate! Dylan!

-[Dan] Genius.
-[Dylan] Okay.

-[Dylan] Send data.
-[computer beeps]

[♪ Suspenseful percussion]

Signal down. Try...

[Dylan] Try again. Okay.

-Signal is down.
-[Dan] Signal's down.

So, look around for wires.

Look for a telephone point, really.

This is old school,
so this is plugged in.

-So, where would this have led to?
-[Dylan] Okay.

There's nothing behind there.

-Oh, wait!
-[Dan] What?

For the instructions to reset the signal,
go to floor 46.

Take the tablet and hard drive with you.

-[Dylan] Wooh! Floor 46.
-[Dan] You're a genius.

-[Dan] Come on, let's go.
-[Dylan] Ah!

[Dylan] Oh my God.



[Dan] Going up?

-[Dylan] Yep.
-[Dan] Okay.

[Dylan] Okay. Oh my God.

[Dan] Well, it looks like we're
going up to something.

[Dylan] Signal reset
instructions. Alright.

I'm definitely feeling
shaky in my legs. b*stard.

[Sofia] Two identical communication
towers with a satellite linking panel

at the top of each.
One panel is wired correctly.

The other has been
completely disconnected.

The pairs need to climb the towers
and work together to restore the signal

while 700ft above the street.

[digital clock beeps]

[exhales]

[Dylan] Fear is something that I have felt
at many times throughout my life.

[walkie-talkie noise]

[Dan] Just take it one step at a time.
Keep moving up, okay?

[Dylan] However, I know that whenever
I'm scared, I look besides me,

-and I'll see this idiot here.
-[Dan laughs]

[Dylan] He is always
behind me. Always there.

-[breathes heavily]
-[♪ suspenseful music plays]

That's it, Dylan. Just keep on going
as high as you can.

[Dylan exhales]

[Dylan] Hey... okay.

[hook clanks]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[Luke] Right, mate? Shall we do it?

-[Sam] Yeah, let's do it. 25 K.
-[Luke] It's in the bank.

-[Luke] It's in the bank.
-[Sam laughs]

-[Luke] How are you doing? Alright?
-Spot on, mate. We got this.

[Luke] Keep going, pal.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[Luke] Oh!

-[Luke] Eh, don't look down though!
-You got it, man.

-[hooks clanks]
-[exhales]

[Sam] On the 26th of June, 2013,
I had a motorbike accident.

-[Luke] Go on, lad. I can see you!
-Yeah!

[Sam] Fractured my femur. Vertebrae, ribs.

Scapula. Clavicle.

But my leg was the issue.

Kept getting infections
and they had to take...

They had to take my
leg off below the knee.

Since then, I say yes to everything.

I just want to feel alive
because I was so close to not being.

[digital clock beeps]

[exhales]

[Dylan] Oh...

[breathes heavily]

[hook clanks]

[Alex] Let's rock and roll.

[Alex] Rob, you're doing fantastic.
I'm so proud of you.

[hook clanks]

[in Cantonese] I've got this! I've got
this!

[in Cantonese] Come on! Faster! Faster!

[♪ Suspenseful music fades]

Shelley!

-Harness.
-Oh, sh*t.

Ascend both towers.

-Ascend both towers.
-[Steven] That's me and you. There's two.

-[Shelley screams]
-[Steven] Let's go, baby, let's go.

[Steven] Because the time is ticking.
Remember, don't look down.

[hook clanks]

Come on, let's stay positive.
Yeah. You ready?

Wait. Let's talk about
what we're doing. You're rushing.

[Steven] We're both going up
to that junction box. You get it?

Are you good? Are you clear?
Are you ready? Let's go.

[Shelley] Our relationship
happened really quickly.

We were young and then
still to be together 28 years later...

-I'm proud of that.
-Yeah.

[Steven] It's going to be okay.
Nothing to say?

I just can't talk right now.

I'm just trying to get my head
in the right space.

[Steven] Let's go. Love you.

[hook clanks]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[Steven] After the boys leave home, we are
going to be living on our own together.

Just me and you.

Can we go on for another 30, 40 years?

-No, we can't.
-Yeah, we bloody can.

[♪ Music stops]

[Steven] Let's go, Shelley.

[hums]

Is everything okay, darling?

[exhales]

[digital clock beeps]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

Oh!

[Sam] Right, mate. I'm at
the control box. Where are you?

[Luke] Exactly the same place, pal. Right.

[sighs]

So then we've got a lot of,
empty sockets with the wires pulled out.

Are yours plugged in?

Right. Mine are plugged in, mate.
And the lights are switched on.

-I've got no light from my side.
-[Sam] Right.

Let's go for the colours that, if yours
are unplugged, right, zero is red.

Right. One second.
So red in zero, yeah?

[Sam] Yeah.

[Luke] Pushed in mine, got that.

The green one's the next one.

So, the third hole
on the bottom row is green.

What, so green in zero, yeah?
I've got a red plugged into that.

There shouldn't be a green in zero.
There should be a red in zero.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

Tell me about these panels.

[Sofia] Well, on the connected box
the top row has the numbers 0 to 4.

The bottom row has


On the disconnected box, we've
mixed them up. They need to work that out.

Excellent.

-My numbers are at the top.
-[Luke] So, mine's different.

I've got zero and one at the bottom,
and two, three, and four at the top.

[Sam] We're going to have
to do this different then.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[hook clanks]

So, I've got the correct order
of the patch cables.

-[Rob] So I will tell you what to do.
-I'll plug them in randomly.

[Alex] Rob and I, we are great at solving
puzzles, and we start each morning

with coffee and a puzzle.

We make a great team together.

[Alex] I've completed it,
but it's not lighting up.

I don't know what the order is.

I'm just doing random sh*t here.
I don't know why it's not lighting up.

Now what?

My back is beginning to hurt
and my arms are crazy tired.

I cannot hold on
much longer. Over. Help!

Over.

[♪ Orchestral stabs]

[Dylan] Okay. I'm up.

[Dan] I'm here as well, Dylan.

-Well done.
-[Dylan] Thanks, Dad.

[Dylan] Ah, there's wires.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[hook clanks]

[hook clanks]

Shelley, are you okay?
You're doing brilliant. Over.

[Shelley] Please don't
talk to me, I cope with no sound.

[Shelley sighs]
I'm really tired.

[exhales]

[hook clanks]

[digital clock beeps]

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[Sam] So, the other side
of my red, it must be Thai.

It looks like a six if it's on its side
and it's like a squiggle.

[Luke] Yep, sorted, mate.
Where does the green go now?

[Dylan] Dad, do you have
the correct order? Go through them.

Tell me the symbols
underneath each colour.

Oh, Dylan. Right.

So... it makes no difference
because they won't match.

I'm trying to match
the symbol to the colour.

Symbol to the colour?

They're mixed, Dad. They're not
the same as yours. Give me the symbols.

Useless, I swear.

[breathes heavily]

I'm at the top.

[Steven] Yes, Shelley. Yes.

Okay, Shell, we're gonna
need to start to communicate now.

[walkie-talkie clicks]

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

I have no lights.
I'm going to change them around.

Steven, tell me what is on your bottom.

[Steven] I've just swapped over the yellow
for the black. I've got no lights.

You keep talking when
I'm talking. Wait...

[Steven] Give me your
sequence one more time.

Have you got all the wires connected?

Steven, you've got to stop talking
and wait for me to finish...

[Steven] I've got that message now.

[Shelley] ...and I'm not getting
the end of what you're saying.

[sighs]

Okay, Rob!

Listen, I figured it out.
You have to listen to me.

I'm better at this than you.
I have to take charge.

You will listen, I will instruct. You have
to read your Thai script to me.

Colour by colour.

Green goes from number three to like an
elephant with its trunk in the air.

[Alex] Roger that.

[digital clock beeps]

[Sam] If you've only got one left,
try the red and let's see what happens.

[pinging sound]

Yesss!

Nailed it, lad.

Yes!

I'll just be happy to get
down now, I think.

[laughs]

Please move on to the next colour. Over.

Black goes to...

The one that looks
a tiny bit like a pair of antlers.

Roger that. Complete.

Press the buttons.

[pinging sound]

[Alex] Yeah, my light's just
gone green! Let's go down.

[♪ Music fades]

[♪ Intense music plays]

[Luke] We've got the hard drive.
Now reset the signal.

Come on, let's
do it together, man. Two, three.

-[beeps]
-[Luke] Signal restored!

Oh, no!

-[Sam] Enter password.
-[Luke] Oh my God. Right.

Password hint.

-I got rev.
-I got rev?

[digital clock beeps]

-Downwards facing bird.
-[Dan] I see. That one is a red on mine.

The symbol that looks like a B is yellow.

Yellow. Thank you.

[Dylan] Okay, I think I've matched.
Let me see. Let me test.

-[pinging sound]
-[Dylan] Oh!

I can't wait to get
down from here. This sucks.

Dylan, I'm so proud of you, man.

Hint: I got rev.

[Rob] Vert...

Ver... Togi... Vertogi... No...

Come on, you sonna mumma. Whee!

-[pinging sound]
-Got there in the end, mate.

[Steven] We need to reset the signal.

Vertigo.

You are a bloody star.

V... E... R...

Vertigo!

-Vertigo!
-Okay.

Vertigo! I'll type it in.

Please, please. It's sending the files.

Oh, well done.

-[in Mandarin] Come on!
-Well done.

Ey!

Come on!

[Dylan] To send files, enter password.

Hint: I got rev.

[shouts]

-[hook clanks]
-[Steven] Get the other cable off.

Rev. Car.

[Dylan] Aston Martin. Enter.

Damn. No. Okay. That locked
me out for one minute, 30 seconds.

Oh, that is an anagram. V-E-R…

-[Dylan] 25. Four. 24.23.
-I've got it, I've got it.

-Vertigo.
-Vertigo!

[Steven] Vertigo?

-Vertigo.
-[Steven] I don't know.

Yeah.

We're 100% sure it's vertigo?

What do you reckon?
Look where we've just been.

Yeah. That's fair enough.

Three, two, one. V… E...

-[Dan] V-E-R...
-[Dylan] Alright.

[computer beeps]

-[computer beeps]
-[Shelley sighs]

[Dylan] Mission complete!

[Dan] You've done it!

[Dan laughs]

[Dan] Oh!

-[Dylan] Oh, I love the ground.
-[Dan] Oh!

Well done. Well done, Steven!

Mission complete. We've done it.

That's mash up. I'm done.

I'm really nervous because it took us
a long time to get that cross patch.

-That would've been...
-[Alex] Let's put it this way.

If we made that assumption, if we made
that mistake, I think the others might.

We don't have to win this.
We just have to be not the worst.

[city noises]

Oh my God.

Proper nerve wracking, isn't it?
I'd be gutted if it finished now.

You've had a massive point to prove,
how nothing's going to hold you back.

Yeah. So many people, like since...

Since this happened to me,
felt sorry for me.

I don't want any of that. We've known
each other forever, with two legs.

-What was I like? You know what I mean?
-I think you're better with one.

I'm not gonna even try and guess
how we done because I don't know.

-In terms of how we did as a couple?
-[Steven] We've done that well.

-Without screaming.
-No screaming.

-No cursing each other.
-[Steven] 28 years together.

-This is a proper switch moment...
-Of learning.

[Steven] Yeah. It can
only make you stronger.

[Alex] I don't think fear
ever crept into my mind.

The alternative is simply
to give in to blind panic.

-That doesn't get us anywhere.
-I don't think we did that.

[Sofia] The results, sir.

Okay, let's put them out of their misery.

-[mobile phone vibrates]
-[Sam sighs]

-Is he ringing?
-The Controller's ringing.

Hello?

[Controller] You all completed
your first mission.

But one pair did so in the slowest time
and will be facing elimination.

Oh no.

[Controller] Sam and Luke.

Impressive teamwork. You were the fastest.

-Yeah!
-The fastest!

No way!

[Sam] Yes we were! Yes we were!

[Luke] Oh, man. Do you know what?
I wasn't expecting that.

We can win this.

-[Controller] You now have 25,000 pounds.
-12 and a half apiece. Oh my word.

[Controller] See you on the next mission.

The next quickest...

My heart's going, man.

-[Controller] Rob and Alex.
-[screaming]

Yes! Yes!

-Oh!
-I gotta be honest, that's all...

[Controller] You've now got 25,000 pounds.
I'll see you on the next mission.

[laughing]

[Controller] Okay. It's between you pairs.

-[♪ Suspenseful music plays]
-Come on.

[Controller] Dylan, your problem-solving
got you there eventually.

Come on.

Steven and Shelley.

Ah...

[Controller] Your communication
leaves a lot to be desired.

And you were the slowest.

Dan and Dylan, you're through.

[Dylan] That's a relief.

[laughing]

-Oh...
-See you on the next mission.

Oh, Jesus, my heart's going.

[Controller] Oh, yes.
And there's the 25,000.

Twenty-five thousand
pounds now banked.

Honestly, I just feel giddy
all of a sudden, man.

This is a... what a release.

[Steven] Ah, I'm proper gutted.

Never mind. It's one of them things.

I am sad.

Never mind, never mind.

[Controller] Steven and Shelley.

Have you got anything left in the tank?

-[motorcycles revving]
-What?

[Controller] You're gonna need it.

[tyres screeching]

[♪ Dramatic music plays]

[♪ Music crescendos, then stops]

[Controller] My friends here are going
to take you to a secret location.

Are you ready?

[Controller] I'm giving you one last
chance to progress to the next mission.

[motorcycles rev]

[♪ Exciting music plays]

[♪ Exciting music stops]

[♪ loud orchestral stabs]

[♪ Intriguing music plays]

Take it easy.

What's going on there?

Why are we in
a stadium with a gym?

Do we have to fight our way out?

Steven and Shelley.

[Controller] Take a seat.

[Shelley gasps] Oh, God.

[Shelley] What is this?

[Steven] Flippin' Nora.

-[Sid] What is going on?
-[Shelley] Oh my gosh.

-[Sid] No way!
-Hang about.

-[Steven] Hang about, hold on.
-[Shelley] I see the other couple.

-My heart...
-Stop.

-Oh!
-Oh my God.

-Hello!
-Hello!

I don't know what you're waving for.

Should we just say hello?

No bun that. You don't
say hello to your victims.

This is a face-off, girl.

Eat or be eaten. Yeah?

[laughs]

[Steven] No, don't laugh.

[loudspeakers reverberate]

[Controller] Sid and Shabina.

Make yourselves comfortable.

[♪ Mysterious music plays]

You're now going
head-to-head in my finest creation.

The k*ller question.

One of you is about to win


The other one will be eliminated.

And on the next flight home.

[sighs]

[Steven] This is it now.

Psych yourself up,
because we're as good as they are.

If not, we're better.
We've got to take them out.

[Shabina] We've got
no other choice, really.

[Controller] Open the case
in front of you.

[case latches click]

[case opens]

[computer whirrs and beeps]

[Sid] Oh my God.

What the nickarooneys?

What the...

[gloves touch]

[bell rings]

[♪ Dramatic music plays]

[both grunt]

[Controller] This is the ancient
martial art of Muay Thai.

Watch carefully.

[both grunting]

[♪ Dramatic music plays]

[Controller] One of the most powerful
moves is called Jarakhe Fad Hang.

The crocodile thrashes its tail.

[kickboxing sounds]

[Controller] My k*ller question to you is

which move does
crocodile thrashes its tail refer to?

Reverse elbow?

[both grunt]

Uppercut? Or turn kick?

-Uppercut?
-Uppercut.

Reverse elbow.

-Turn kick.
-Yeah.

I don't know.

[Sid] When you look at a crocodile,
it flicks around, doesn't it?

[Shabina] I've got a feeling
it's turn kick.

I haven't even seen them
do a reverse elbow yet.

But the kick just looks, turn kick looks
so much more like a crocodile.

-Turn kick.
-Turn kick.

-Are you going for turn kick?
-I'm just putting it in there...

Turn kick is just...

He's turning and kicking
at the same time.

Doesn't a crocodile thrash its tail?

[both grunting]

When you're thrashing something,
you're going down.

In lion taming or anything like
that, when they're thrashing something,

it goes up and then down.

We both said turn kick at the same time,
but it's a guess because we do not know.

And the pressure's on.

When the pressure's on, you start
thinking, doubting, questioning.

Uppercut is upper because
you're coming up.

But then the tail is not up, is it, first?

-[Shelley] Turn kick.
-[Steven] Yeah.

You know what? I think they know it.

Are they looking over?

-[Steven] Have a sneaky look.
-They are.

-I genuinely think they know it.
-I don't think they know it, Shabs.

[bell rings]

[Controller] Enter your answers now.

[Shelley] Shall I press enter?

Confirm...

-Reverse elbow.
-Do you think?

-Or turn kick?
-No, you can't…

-I don't know.
-Don't be indecisive to me.

[exhales]

-Let's go with reverse elbow.
-[Shabina] Okay. Confirmed.

[Sid] Confirmed.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[computer beeps softly]

[Controller] Sid and Shabina.
You answered reverse elbow.

Steven and Shelley, turn kick.

Only one pair is correct, and
will be progressing to the next mission.

[Shabina] It's the kick.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

We talked ourselves out of it, didn't we?

Man, it's too much now.

[Controller] Sid and Shabina,
you are incorrect.

[Sid] No...

[Controller] You have been eliminated.

It's alright, Sid. It is what it is.

-[sighing]
-[computer beeps]

[Controller] Steven and Shelley,
you now have 25,000 pounds.

[sigh of relief]

[Steven] I'm juiced, I'm gassed.

Let's crack on to the next one.
And like I said, if we can work together,

and learn to listen to each other,
this will be an amazing journey.

I pray it continues.

And I'm, er, I'm blown up,
babes, wow, oh gosh.

I know you are. I know you are.

[Controller] Your success means
you'll now be joining

the other pairs on mission two in Austria.

[♪ Epic music plays]

This time, only the winners are safe.

[Dan] Ah, that's savage!

[♪ Epic music continues]

[gondola rattles]

Oh!
