-[radar pings]

[Sofia] Vessel P422, report your position.

[Captain] 25 degrees North. 77 degrees
West.

Off the coast of Nassau.

[Sofia] They're approaching the target,
sir. The final three pairs are on board.

Right.

We're closing in on the million.

Let's see who can
hold their nerve and win it.

[Alex gags]

[Alex] Why did it have to be
a challenge on water?

-I'm getting seasick already.
-[Rob] Oh.

[Alex] I'm not good with all this rocking.

But you are a lot more
at home on a...

Ship or boat? What do you think?

-[Rob] Ship.
-[Alex] Ship.

[Rob] I started racing dinghies
when I was a kid.

[Alex] I'm glad we're
playing to your strengths here.

Because our performance
has been erratic to say the least.

-Yeah.
-[Alex] But look,

we know what we're capable of
when we put our heads together.

[Rob] Yeah. So, over communicate.

-[Alex] Yep.
-[Rob] Brains on speakerphone

and stay calm.

[Alex chants] Ohm...

[Maiya] I'm feeling
really confident, because

no matter what the controller
throws at us, we keep winning.

-We've won the last two challenges.
-That's the thing.

The controller's almost made a mistake
because he really has set us...

[Maiya] He has almost shaped us into
these people that are able to do this.

[Cat] Yeah. He's almost made me
a bit too big-headed.

I know I can do anything in the world now.

Yeah, but you can.

[Noddy] Does that not look
daunting to you then, no?

Nah, nah it looks lovely, mate.

When I look that way,
and I can see land, I feel a bit better.

Looking that way is horror.

I've got the Jaws theme in my head.

Even if they say there's absolutely
no sharks or anything in this water,

my logical brain doesn't
compute that, and it just

immediately goes into fight or flight.

It's just something about it,
it's just immense.

It's so powerful,
you can't control this at all.

[Ricky] Look, we're
down to the final three.

It's half a million quid at stake.

It's more than likely gonna involve
being in or under that water, mate.

I know it's scary but,
just remember, I won't...

I'm never gonna leave you.
I'll always be there.

We're there together.

Yeah.

[buzzing alarm sounds]

[Captain] Now hear this, now hear this.

Report to the bridge immediately.

[Alex] Report to the bridge!

Go down. We've come this far.
We wanna go all the way.

-[Cat] The bridge.
-[Maiya] Yeah, but that's this bit, no?

-[Ricky] You ready for this, brother?
-[Noddy] Ready as I'm ever gonna be, mate.

[♪ Tense music playing]

[Cat] Incoming transmission.

[computer beeps]

Welcome to the Bahamas.

[♪ Trumpets blast, tense music continues]

You are hitching a lift with our friends
from the Bahamian Defence Force,

courtesy of Lieutenant Commander McQueen.

[radio chatter]

You've seen off the competition
to become the last three pairs.

[♪ Trumpets blast, tense music continues]

But by the end of today,
only one pair will be left standing.

[exhales]

-Okay.
-Okay.

Gosh, this is it.

[♪ Music intensifies, fades]

[♪ Single guitar strum plays]

[Controller] This mission is going to test
everything that has got you this far.

Courage, stamina, observation,

and ultimately, your recall skills.

[♪ Tense music plays]

But this time, on the seabed.

[Noddy] Oh, f*cking hell.

We're not just in the water,
I'm going under the water,

so that's doubly uncomfortable
for me, mate.

[Controller] Lieutenant Commander
McQueen's crew

will take you to the dive site.

Once there,

your mission is to retrieve
a metal box from this shipwreck.

-[radar pinging]
-[♪ tense music continues]

Locate the box and get it to shore.

It contains questions
that you'll need to answer.

You have sixty minutes.

The pair with the fewest
correct answers is out.

To me, that doesn't make any difference.

We'll just win from the start anyway,
as we always do.

[Controller] The remaining two pairs

will battle it out for
half a million pounds.

[♪ Tense music continues]

[Maiya] I've done wreck diving before.
This is so fine.

I'm not worried. Don't worry.

No, but as in, I'm just telling you
that I've done wreck diving before.

-I did wreck diving in June.
-[Cat] Yeah.

[Maiya] So, let me take this one.

The main thing is that we need
to make sure we really communicate.

So if I talk, make sure you respond,
so that I know you've heard me

and look at everything
with the point of view

that we might be asked a question on it.

This challenge,
I feel like, was made for us.

[♪ Tense music continues]

[Rob] It's a big ship.
All of this is under sand and everything.

[Alex] You think this is a wreck?

This is a wreck. This is…

-How do you know?
-Ships don't look like this.

This is broken up.

Oh.

So we need to dive into
the middle of the deck. There.

I love the fact you know what you're
talking about. Because I don't.

You can take the lead on this
and I want to

make sure I do as much
as I can do to help you.

[Noddy] That's going to be
a long old swim.

I know I'm not going
to be comfortable down there already.

I know you can't breathe
through your nose, and

that's one of the things I do
to calm myself down,

so if I'm not going to be able to do that,
that's going to freak me out.

[buzzing alarm sounds]

[Captain] Now hear this, now hear this.

One vertical mile to dive site.
Report to the aft deck immediately.

[Maiya] Which way are we going?
The back or the front?

Let's go to the back first.

-Then we'll go to the front.
-Okay.

[♪ Exciting rhythm plays]

[crew] Let's go, let's go people,
let's get on board, come on, let's go!

Come on, let's go, get down the ladder.

Come on, come on!

Yeah, let's get on board.

[boat engine revving]

[♪ James Bond Theme plays]

[Alex] Focus, focus. Get down there.

Do what we have to do,
get back up, get out.

[♪ James Bond Theme continues]

We need to stay calm
and take our time...

-Yeah.
-...and be observant,

and then we'll be fine.

[♪ James Bond Theme continues]

[Ricky] I think this is our lift
to the dive site, don't you?

[Noddy] Ah.

[Ricky] Listen, how comfortable
are you getting in there?

You want me to go first?

[Noddy] I'll follow your lead.

♪ [Suspenseful music plays]

[crew] Straight to the back, get a seat.

Straight to the back, get a seat.
Come on, let's go.

[Noddy] Papa 422. We should remember that.

[boat engine revs]

[♪ James Bond Theme plays]

[Noddy] What worries me,
I don't want you to be carrying me.

[Ricky] There's no carrying.
We've gone through everything together.

[Noddy] I promise you,
I'll do my best, mate.

[♪ James Bond Theme continues]

[Rob] So, is this us? Is this
where the wreck is?

-[Alex] Right.
-[Rob] Let's get ready.

[Alex] Lift.

I've got it, yep.

-God, that's so heavy.
-[Cat] Yeah.

[Maiya] Try to trust me and
if I tell you to do something, just do it.

[Alex] I think I've got a problem.
The air escapes.

No, the air's escaping.

-It's not a good fit.
-[Rob] You can't do that.

You can use your emergency mask.
It means we've got no comms, though.

Actually, we've got...

Oh yeah, yeah.

-[Rob] We'll use these.
-Yeah.

-Perfect. Sorted.
-Old school.

[Sofia] You have 60 minutes.

Your time starts now.

[digital clock beeps]

[Cat and Maiya] Three. Two. One.

[breathing through regulator]

[Rob] Stay calm. Right, jai h*.

[breathing through regulator]

[♪ Mysterious music plays]

[regulator releasing air]

[Rob] Wow, what an amazing wreck.

[bubbling]

[♪ Mysterious music continues]

Right.

Where are we at?

[Sofia] Okay, sir.

The shipwreck is twenty metres
below the surface,

on the edge of
a two-thousand-metre-deep ocean trench.

Hidden around the wreck are five boxes.

The box they need to bring to shore
is labelled "electronics".

To get it to the surface,

there's a flotation device
in one of the other boxes.

The rest are just empty decoys.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[diving regulator releasing air]

[Maiya] Relax, don't swim up.

[Cat] What did you say?

[Maiya] You're kicking your legs too much.

Don't swim, just relax.

[Cat] I can't hear you properly.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[Maiya] If you look to the left...

A lionfish. I mean, they are pretty.

-Don't go too high up.
-[Cat] What?

[Maiya] Stay with me if you can. Good.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[Rob] So, Alex, follow me.

Take your time.

[diving regulator releasing air]

Use your legs.

How are you feeling?

Good. Good.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

Is this it? Fantastic.

[diving regulator releasing air]

Alex.

Okay.

[Sofia] Rob and Alex
have located their float, sir.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[Rob] There should be
another box around. Follow me.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[clock ticking]

[digital clock beeps]

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

-[Ricky] We stick together. Yeah?
-[Noddy] Yep.

Whatever you need,

I'm there for you.

-[Noddy] I love you, mate.
-[Ricky] Yeah, love you too.

[breathes deeply]

-[breathing through regulator]
-[Noddy] Okay.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

This is crazy, I can't believe this.
I can't believe I'm doing this.

-Ah!
-[sound of metal bending]

[Ricky] Nod, this is wild, mate.

This ship is huge, Nod.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[diving regulator releasing air]

[Maiya] I think
this is something. I've got it.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[heart beating]

[Cat] We need to look more,
I think. There's something else here.

[Maiya] There must be another box.

[deep, scary sound]

[diving regulator releasing air]

[heart beating]

-I think I can see a box.
-[Cat] I can't hear you properly.

-[diving regulator releasing air]
-[heart beating]

Let's just lift it.

-We need to lift it from here.
-[Maiya] What?

Let's go back. Okay.

-That's fine. Let's go.
-[Maiya] I don't know if you can hear me.

[Cat] Okay, let's go.

-[Maiya] Should we go?
-[Cat] Let's go! Let's go!

-[box thuds]
-[Maiya] I will take the box. Let's go.

-[diving regulator releasing air]
-[bubbling]

[heart beating]

[diving regulator releasing air]

[box thuds]

Cat, come back!

-[heart beating]
-[diving regulator releasing air]

[Cat] Where did you go?

Where did… where did you go?

[Maiya] I can't lift the box.

[Cat] Come on, we need to get moving!

[Maiya] I'm gonna open it.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[Cat] I don't know why…Hey, listen to me!

-Listen! Misa!
-[Maiya] Okay!

-[Cat] Listen!
-[Maiya] Okay, stop yelling!

Look, it's opening!

[sound of bubbles]

Ah!

Jesus. There's nothing in it.

[Cat] There must be
something else then, no?

[Maiya] Please, can we
stop fighting, Cat? We need to focus.

Let's see if there's anything else here.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[metal bending]

[Noddy] Rick, I've found something.

This has got to be it.

[bubbling]

It's got a carabiner on it, Nod, look.

[chuckles]

[Ricky] We need to
find something to get it up

and take the whole thing up with us.

[diving regulator releasing air]

Is there anything else here?

Let's just swim around
and have a little look just to make sure.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[diving regulator releasing air]

Nod, Nod!

I've seen another one over here.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[bubbling]

[diving regulator releasing air]

Well, that's what we need
to lift that box.

Don't look to your right, there's a shark.

[♪ Scary music plays]

[Noddy] Oh, f*cking hell.

[♪ Scary music continues]

Eugh!

Eugh!

It's only a little shark.

[♪ Scary music continues]

[Ricky] Nod, are you okay?

[Noddy] Please get me out of this water.

[♪ Scary music continues]

[diving regulator releasing air]

Ah!

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[Rob] Follow me.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[box thuds]

[diving regulator releasing air]

Is this it?

-[bubbling]
-[♪ suspenseful music continues]

[diving regulator releasing air]

Good. Good. Like that. Alex.

Alex, okay, when you're ready.

[laughs]

Yay! Well done.

So well done.

[digital clock beeps]

[Alex groans]

[crew] One more time. One more time.

[♪ Music stops]

-[Alex] I'm exhausted.
-Okay.

I'm a bit seasick as well,
but I think...

-I think we completed the mission.
-Well done.

[Alex] I'm afraid
I was just following you.

-[Rob] Yeah, well...
-I wanted to focus on what I had to do.

You did really well.
You did really, really well.

We got what we think we need.

So, we just got to get this
back to shore, then.

It's totally empty.

[♪ Suspenseful music stops]

[Alex] We got the wrong box.

Ah, I'm feeling sick.

[♪ Music continues]

[gags]

-Salt water does that to me.
-It's okay.

I think if we go ashore now
and this isn't it, then we've had it.

Evidently it is clear we've wasted time,
we've made a mistake.

But let's not worry about that.

It will eat into how much time we have
for the second part of the task.

Yeah, the clock is ticking.

We need to get down there
and get it quickly.

[Alex] Stay focussed. Jai h*.

-[Rob] Right. Okay.
-[Alex] Okay.

[Controller] Back down you go.

[Rob] Three, two, one.

Let's go.

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[Ricky] Nod, are you alright?

[Noddy] No.

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[diving regulator releasing air]

[Ricky] We're gonna need to use
that flotation device.

Fix the carabiner to the handle.

[diving regulator releasing air]

Come here, inflate this.

[air blowing]

Yes, yes.

Right.

Keep filling, keep filling.

Yes!

Get in! That's got to be the one!

Nod, well done, mate. So, so proud of you.

-Let's get back to the boat, brother.
-Ah!

[♪ Suspenseful music continues]

[digital clock beeps]

[♪ Music stops]

Yep, good.

Ah.

[underwater sounds]

That is hands down the scariest thing
I've ever done in my life,

let alone in these missions.

Full stop, in my life, that is the
scariest thing I've ever done.

Alright, guys. This is as far as we go.
You've got to swim to the shore from here.

Swim to the shore from here.

[♪ Ominous music continues]

[Ricky] Same as always, yeah?

Just do it with purpose.
We do it together.

[Maiya] Let's check in all of the holes.

[diving regulator releasing air]

[exhales]

[diving regulator releasing air]

Ah!

Oh!

[grunts]

Ah!

Cat, where are you?!

Cat, help! [grunts]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

Eugh!

[Cat] Let go. Hang on.

-[Maiya] Eugh!
-[Cat] It contains electronics.

[Maiya] Eugh!

-[breathes heavily]
-[Cat] Here!

[air blowing]

-[Maiya] Let it go. Okay, we did it.
-[Cat] Okay.

[♪ Suspenseful music fades]

[Sofia] They have just 20 minutes left.

The quicker they get the box to shore,

the more time they have
to answer the questions.

[digital clock beeps]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[♪ Exciting music plays]

[Rob] Alex, swim to the front.

Oh!

[diving regulator releasing air]

Is this it?

We got it. We got it.

-[box thuds]
-Fantastic. Okay.

That was definitely it. We've got it.

[Ricky] We're getting there.

-[Noddy] That's helping.
-[Ricky] Yeah?

Good, alright.

[Noddy] We've got to get into this.

-[Ricky] Yeah.
-[Noddy] First try as it is.

Alright, no... Get this off me.

It's numbers, it's numbers.

-007.
-Do you reckon?

-Yeah, do 007.
-Let's go for it then.

It's gotta be, innit?

There we go. We're there.

We're in.

[exhales]

[cellophane crinkling]

Right.

-Right.
-"Press any key."

[computer beeps]

"What was the name of the Commanding
Officer who gave your instructions?"

[Noddy] Lieutenant Commander McQueen.

Lieutenant Commander McQueen, yeah?

-[Noddy] We're happy with that?
-[Ricky] Yeah. Lock it in, mate.

That's next, right.

[underwater sounds]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[digital clock beeps]

[box thuds]

Oh my God, I can't get this undone.

Let's just try zeros

No, have a think of what,
what else it could be?

Erm...

Oh, 007 maybe.

-Yes!
-Okay.

Okay.

Quick, quick. Open it.

-Where's the...
-I dunno. Open it.

[Cat] There, here.

[computer whirrs]

"Press any key."

[computer beeps]

[Maiya] "What was the name of
the Commanding Officer

who gave your instructions
from the Royal Bahamas Defence Force?"

-It was something like Cuttlefish.
-No. Erm.

[Maiya] Think for a minute.

"The waters you have
been diving in are home

to reef sharks,
blue marlin and lionfish."

-"Which of these is venomous?"
-Lionfish.

Let me just think cos it was a name that,
like, I've heard of before.

All that's coming
to my head is cuttlefish.

-Cartwright.
-That sounds better.

[Cat] Cartwright.

[Ricky] "What was the vessel number
where your mission commenced?"

-P422.
-P422.

-Yeah, enter.
-Next, okay.

[Cat] "What was the vessel number
of the ship?"

I'm pretty sure it's R422.

Maybe not an R423?

It was definitely... No, R422.

Okay, I trust you. Just double-checking.

-R422.
-[Maiya] It was definitely that.

[♪ Exciting music plays]

Two minutes.

[digital clock beeps]

[Alex] Surely something like


Yes, well done.

[hinges creak]

-Okay, open it.
-Pick it up.

"What was the vessel number on the ship
where your mission commenced?"



I thought it was 403.

"What is the average temperature of
the sea in the Bahamas this time of year?



I don't think it's 11 degrees.
It's 18 or...

-It's definitely not 26.
-26 is way too hot.

Go with 18, I'm happy with 18.

[Sofia] One minute.

[digital clock beeps]

[Rob] The vessel number.

-There was a letter before it.
-Was it I?

A, I thought. Maybe A?

"Which of these is venomous?"

Sharks are not venomous.
Blue marlin are definitely not venomous.

-And lionfish, their spines are venomous.
-Yeah.

Five.

So, it's definitely lionfish are venomous.

-Four.
-I think we just hit submit.

-Three.
-Have you finished?

-Yes.
-Should we confirm that?

-Yeah.
-Is what it is, innit mate.

-Two.
-Is it W?

I'm not sure, we'll go with yours.

-One.
-You do it.

-We're out of time...
-Time's up.

[click]

We're out of time.

Hey.

Oh...

[Cat] That was really tough.

[♪ Tense music plays]

[Alex] We lost time taking
up the wrong container.

[Rob] Yeah.

I'm usually quite good at
remembering a lot of details.

Minor ones, even.

We're just not as observant
as we should be.

I'm so annoyed at ourselves for that.

We've just got to hope
other people do worse than us.

-It is what it is, man.
-Yeah. Definitely.

We've either got a seat at the table
or a seat on the plane home.

You're about to discover

which two teams will have the chance to
win five hundred thousand pounds.

For the losers,
it's the end of the journey.

[exhales]

I hate this bit.

[♪ Tense music continues]

Oh, this waiting is horrible.

It's okay.

[♪ Tense music continues]

Ricky and Noddy.

You managed to answer
four questions within the time limit.

Three of your answers were correct.

-Does that mean we've done it?
-[Controller] You are through.

I think it does! [laughs]

-Come on!
-[Controller] Impressive work.

-[Ricky] I knew you had it, mate.
-[Controller] The question you got wrong:

The temperature of the sea behind you
is a balmy 26 degrees.

Be at the Vesper Club in Nassau
at 9pm. Black tie.

[laughs]

-Get in!
-Ah!

-We did the best we could.
-Exactly, we did fine.

Yeah. We definitely got
two out of the three questions.

I'm quite confident in that.

So, let's just hope that
they struggled as much as we did.

[Controller] Cat and Maiya.

Rob and Alex.

I'm underwhelmed.

[sighs]

[Controller] For your information,

the number of the ship
on which your mission began

was P422.

P422? No, I thought it was R422.

-Oh, no! I'm so sorry.
-It's fine, don't worry.

We just didn't think it was necessary
to remember things like that.

[waves crashing]

[Controller] And you hitched a lift with
Lieutenant Commander McQueen.

-McQueen.
-McQueen.

No.

Why have we got memories of goldfish?

[Controller] Cat and Maiya.

You answered three questions
before the time ran out.

But got just one question right.
-[Maiya] Lionfish.

-We got one.
-At least we knew that.

Unfortunately, Alex and Rob.

[Rob] Oh, boy.

You had no correct answers
within the time limit

and are therefore eliminated.

-Oh my God! We're through! Yes!
-Yes! We got it!

[♪ Calm music playing]

Oh my God! I'm gonna cry!

[Controller] Cat and Maiya,

you'll be taking on
Ricky and Noddy at the Vesper Club.

It's the chance to win
five hundred thousand pounds.

You need to up your game.

[Cat] We were almost going into it
a bit too naïve, I think.

-[Maiya] Yeah.
-I'm not used to you...

...being the one that takes the lead.

So... I guess that's also just a change
in our dynamic. Compared to normal.

I'm gutted, I'm disappointed.

There's no other way to
dress it up, but no tears.

-Just pride.
-Just pride, exactly.

-Take credit for what we have achieved.
-An enormous amount.

-We have so much to be proud of.
-Yeah.

We did this together.

I think this experience has made us
appreciate each other a lot more.

We're stronger together than apart.
You've been incredible.

I love you.

[♪ Sad music playing]

[♪ Music increases in intensity]

[heels clicking]

Take a seat at the far end of the table.

[♪ Music becomes gentler]

Ricky and Noddy, have a seat.

[click]

[♪ Suspenseful music plays]

[Controller] Good evening.

We're gonna play a few rounds of cards.

And the stakes are high.

The winners will walk away with
half a million pounds

and return to London
for the final mission.

The losers will be eliminated.

So, who will make it to
the million-pound mission?
