[music] It's a military base located somewhere on the Breton coast. This is where one of the most difficult selection courses in the French army takes place. Good evening, my friend from the special forces of the French Navy . [music] The hostilities begin. So let's start with the good things. There are rules here. If you do

n't respect the schedule, we'll deal with you. This is the first day of selection. They are 88, coming from all units of the French Navy to try their luck. Cheaters and liars, we all hate that here at the training camp. If you are caught, the punishment is collective. And we have plenty of

games. The non-commissioned officer who introduces them sets the tone from the moment they arrive. In the French Navy, he is what is called a chief petty officer . If you came here, it's because you came looking for something, I think. OK, the berth is green, we have to win it. And to win the coveted green beret,

the selection process will be ruthless. It will last 3 months. We will assess you physically and morally. We'll know right away if you're going to finish or not. If you do the tests haphazardly, you're sure to fail. You're going to have to hurt yourself . A hard-hitting speech. When you complete a journey, you arrive.

Normally, we can't talk. The steps are the same. We arrive, we throw up , it's a trip. And a thorough inspection . Is the pressure already too high? In the front row, a young candidate wavers. Come on. Ah, here we go again with the stress. There is no lunch. Who hasn't had lunch here?

Okay, Kiki, lift your head up there. Stand up straight. For him, it's starting off very badly. Luckily, when our elders arrived, they didn't faint right away, otherwise we'd be in deep trouble today. And the choice to join the marine commando is also due to certain values that I hope you share. It's to

defend the country, the family, and there's work for you guys. I'm telling you, there's no shortage of them. We won't be unemployed then. The majority of candidates have only just entered adulthood. Together, they are on average 20 years old. Left column, right column, at a short jog. Here we go . We've already lost one, that's a good start.

What's your name? So Kiki, did you have lunch this morning ? Well, come on, hurry up there and lift your head up there and pull yourself together a bit because if you start like that, you're not going to get very far. Okay, let's go. There, you join your colleagues. Well , that's promising.

These young sailors, his novice fighters, will be evaluated by the chief petty officer, who will keep only the best. After 20 years in the special forces , he has experienced the most dangerous enemy lines. To prepare his young recruits for the most perilous theaters of war, he will let nothing slide.

What do you mean you don't have your 620 ? This young sailor forgot his form 620.4, a medical fitness form. Brest, you're going back to Brest, little one. 4 commando passage. So, since we're not completely stupid, we'll see if we can get it sent to us if it's in your medical file. Good

position there, you'll do 40 for me. Next time, don't forget. When you don't have a head, you have arms, and that warms you up. For a form that is not completed, the penalty is immediate. 40 pumps. Hey guys, lift your heads up there. Some of them look like they're being led to the slaughterhouse

. It starts like this. It's off to a bad start. The same fate applies to delays on land; the message is clear. No breaches will be tolerated. And if for the tests you're doing those Shad push-ups for me like that , I dare hope you're doing that because [music] you're dope. If you keep doing

push-ups like that during the tests, you'll be going back to where you came from. Those aren't shoes. I would like to remind you that all movement during commando training is done on foot, and this is just a taste of what awaits these young soldiers. And you will start [music] to walk after the elves and it will be while

singing. They are now going to get down to business. The first stage consists of evaluation days during which they will have to perform a series of strength tests and non-stop resistance tests under the watchful eye of the selectors. A merciless stage. [scream] At the end of these two days, only the strongest will be able to continue. Half

of them will be eliminated. A few minutes later, in disguise. Combat gear on his back. [music] It's a good thing. The candidates are now just numbers. 1 2 3 abdominal exercises, pull-ups and push-ups. From the very first challenges, some begin to falter. In the race, if the candidate drops his teammate, he is

automatically eliminated. We don't throw away our colleague . We suffer in silence. That's it for issue number 42. A fall, therefore, and a fall means failure. It's normal, overall it's fine. Then there were two or three guys we saw who were having a little trouble with the pull-ups. So generally, when you struggle with

pull-ups in the final, it's not a good sign for what's to come. That means the guy is already fair. And this is just a small glimpse of what the candidates will have to endure for weeks. They know it; it's the necessary step to achieve their dreams. Join the elite marine commando unit. The most beautiful job in the world according to

number 39, nicknamed Bourville by the headmaster. He is 26 years old and has been a mechanic in the navy for 8 years. He now wants to go into battle. When you're a bit younger, it's the elite of the elite, you know? It's true, it's still one of the most beautiful jobs. Finally, for me, it's one of the

most beautiful and respectful professions. A certain pride, too. This is the third time he has tried out for selection. after two withdrawals due to injuries. For number 35, nicknamed Pipo, this is his first attempt. A tough 21-year-old trying his luck after only 6 months in the army. It is one of the internships renowned as being

one of the toughest in the world. It's very difficult to get in and I desperately wanted to be part of this closed circle. To prepare, they all underwent intensive physical training. And yet, when these tests follow one another without respite, it also becomes a test of strength for them. 14 as now during the rope test. Climbing a

5m rope, they've all done it before. Adding to this exercise is a significant challenge: a 12 kg bag. And the weather is making matters even more complicated. The ropes are slippery because of the rain. No, that's not good. Çaarrage.com. Get up. The trainees must complete two climbs in quick succession. Most fail. Lift your knees.

Damn it. Stop swearing. Pardon. strength to yell and swear, my friend. You have the strength to climb. Did you understand? [music] Some, on the contrary, will do surprisingly well, notably Bourville, number 39. Except that in reality, he used a little trick that will not be to the liking of the instructors. They spotted suspicious black marks

on the rope after he had passed through. Resin that was brought by one of the candidates. Bourville coated his hands with it to avoid slipping. According to the instructors, he cheated. There you join your colleagues. Just like that other candidate, number 73, an episode that earned him the nickname " resinman". OK. Well, there's a foul, obviously our

two friends from Resinman there, you're bringing out the ranks there, you're putting it here there . OK guys. So the resin is strictly forbidden, that's cheating. So that's towards Botton, that's clear. So gentlemen, thanks to your two colleagues, go and rinse yourselves in the tub. Here we go . Column by one. You can thank your colleagues.

There you have it, we're going all in. There you have it, the head teacher had warned us. Here, all sanctions are collective. That's what fosters cohesion. That's called cohesion. It is in difficulty, in fact, that cohesion will be created. It's not easy when it's easy, it's easy to put them in the water tank from time to time because it doesn't

unclog, because, well, because of a mistake, well, there's a penalty. Well, sometimes you can see a bit of people's character and their ability to cope with this kind of ordeal. OK. So, all together now, you thank your two colleagues. Well, we all thank you wholeheartedly. So. The first day is over and we need to recharge our batteries

because tomorrow will be even harder. Many heads will roll. It's a little bit scary because it's my first experience, at least in commando training. So when we see the instructors arrive there's always a little bit of pressure. We ask ourselves, are we really going to succeed? of the competition. There are many people who have trained.

It wasn't easy, the ropes were slippery, but we managed to get through anyway. Faced with the difficulty of the upcoming challenges, half of the candidates will return home. The following morning, a summons was issued for 7:30 sharp for a troop inspection. OK. and weighing the backpacks. They must weigh 12 kg, that's good

and not a gram less. This time, there's no way to cheat. A handful of gravel in the pockets there. Candidates must not leave their bags all morning, especially for what is called the walking test. But not a walk as one might imagine. These are more like races that will follow one another over kilometers and

kilometers. [music]

Come on, you continue there and you stop at the end there. Barely time to quench our thirst [music] and off we go again, still with the famous 12 kg on our backs and the weapon around our necks. Suffering is beginning to show on their faces.

[music] Exhausted, about ten give up or don't make it to the end. Go all the way, guys. Even if we are tired, even if we are in pain, we lift our heads and puff out our chests. When you're in pain, it means you're alive. Come on, your number 44 44. Come on, go get yourself in the railings, hydrate yourself

. Well, there are a few catastrophic losses here, but that's normal with this volume; there's always some loss online. It's better to keep the best ones who might go all the way . For some, it's already over. Ah, this is going to be complicated for them. They're not on schedule. The festivities continue

because it's not over. Obviously, it's not over yet. That's an understatement, because there's still one more challenge to go. The last of these two days of evaluation, a specialty of the marine commandos, which everyone dreads, is the tank. [music] 50 m wide, 6 m deep and water at 8°gr. [music]

The candidates must complete a full circuit of the tank and then dive underwater to a depth of 4 meters. That's a lovely lagoon. The most beautiful lagoon in France. In Commando Marine, there is "marine". So if the guy [music] is not aquatic, maybe he needs to change his specialty or his army, you know.

Maybe he's just not cut out to be in the navy, you know. [music] It is impossible for a candidate for the marine commando not to succeed in this test. €60 main number 7 main. GOOD. Do you see how a fish feels when it lacks air? Well, it's the same thing. Dive back in, gas-soaked feet after

a day and a half of intensive effort in water less than 10°g. For some, this is one ordeal too many. Number 34, that's your last chance. So stop freaking out now. There, you remove the brain. If you don't have many, it will be easier. Oh yeah, he's not going to make it. No, no,

it's fine. He is automatically eliminated. Stop swearing for everyone. Attention, at the orders of the student of the day, and I remind you, everything is done at a light jog. Active recovery has begun. End of the first two days of evaluation. OK. The fate of the candidates will now be decided in this office,

especially those at the front who are really radical. So, well, too bad for them, they'll come back, they'll train. No leniency from the instructors. Candidates who did not meet the objectives during the tests are out of the running. So, basically, out of 88 candidates, we keep 39, so a 50% failure rate, a lot of them falling short

. Normally they should arrive reciting the performances. There they failed. It's a failure. It's a failure. OK. Rest. In total, there were 7 departures due to injuries and 42 eliminations due to insufficient performance. So the names I'm going to announce, you will go and gather on the side of the road. One by one, the rejected ones step forward.

For those who remain, the instructor increases the pressure. This is just the beginning, guys. For the next three weeks, I can tell you the bar was set at 30, it's going up to 120-180. So there, we've done the minimum. In the minimum wage, there are some who are already a bit radical. If there are 39

good guys, there will be 39 who will get out. OK. Okay, together. Gez at the green bers. No quota. Only the best will remain. Rest. The head teacher would comfort those who had failed. OK. Okay, just a quick word because I like to talk. And also, uh, for you it's over, okay? So it's not the

end of the world, there's a bar, there are grades, we stick to it. And the marine switch, it's been like that for years and it wo n't change. And that's why we're a special forces unit and we have a helmet on our heads. OK guys, it's normal to feel a little down . That's life, that's how it is.

Life isn't a long, easy life, as they say. OK. Go together to you. And good luck and see you soon for some of you. [music] For the 49 young sailors who are leaving the adventure, it's a disappointment. Number 15, who had faltered from the very first day, is also finished. Some will go to treat their

injuries, the others will rejoin their unit the very next day. There you go . It's a failure. It was n't my day.

Many fully intend to try their luck again in the next selection process. That's good money. Then I tell myself I 'm young so for now it's okay . I'm 21 now, until I'm 25, I 'm still in top shape. So I hope not. For some, it went off without a hitch, like Bourville and Pipo. Finally, for now,

and there are others who are already on the edge, like number 28 nicknamed piano. For him, it was a close call. He is 20 years old. Having been eliminated from the last selection due to injuries, he prepared for 1 year. Successful. It's good. Yes, that's good. That's it, it's confirmed. I hope it's at least that much because

last year I only did a week, so if it's less than that I would have been really disappointed. Had you already introduced it ? No, last March. You're not in, you weren't going to redo it if you had n't arrived? It would have been a bit of a blow to my morale, but I would have done it again

. Are you motivated to go all the way ? All the way now. A new chapter now begins for the survivors, and nothing is won yet. What awaits them is 3 weeks of intensive training. Not all of them will go all the way . Because the famous green beret he dreams of winning is more than just a

beret, more than the symbol of an elite unit, it's practically a legend. The legend was written at the end of the Second World War. In 1944, a handful of French soldiers who had joined the United Kingdom formed a combat unit determined to participate in the liberation of France. They are under the orders of [music] comm

Philippe Kiffer. This was the very first French army marine commando unit, formed at the time by the British army in a secret location in Scotland. A ruthless selection. In the end, around 400 of them obtain the green beret. On the morning of June 6, 1944, the Kiffer commando entered history. These men were the only Frenchmen to

land on the beaches of Normandy with the Allies. More than 70 years later, the BERT have remained one of the most selective units in the French army. [music] New stage for the candidates. 3 weeks of evaluation. And at that point, we don't ask any questions. You grab the rope, you throw yourself into the

void. Well, you're obviously in the lead, right? And it starts right away with the jungle course. So. So. A series of suspended rope bridges . Beam, wall crossing. We lie down . Don't get up there. You get up , you bend down, you waste time. Objective: to test the candidates' balance in the face of all types of obstacles

they might encounter in the field. OK. For the others here , there are techniques to overcome them. OK. 1, I hook traction, I come to block the saddles. A swinging motion with the leg, I come to hook with the heel. The leg that is in the air acts as a counterbalance. That arm there, it can

move, it won't fall. The head teacher sets the example. All these techniques have proven their worth . They must be learned by heart. But that's easier said than done. When you love, you don't count the cost. Okay, let's go. Go on, lie down. Just because you're starting to get high doesn't mean you

should do whatever you want. Now it's Rinman's turn. And there you have it. And Resinan, do you know why you built a shack? You had both feet in the air. The technique. There you go. Yeah. And yes, guys, it's called the hanging pig. And this time, Resinman has no little tricks to help. So.

Too much can't go faster than the music. Calm down. Oh, are you listening to me ? No more juice there. I think there's more juice. OK. Pick up. Pick up. The two little ones there, the two services there. And the brain, there comes a point when you have to OK, it's a "I'm pulling, I'm putting this in" situation, so

you didn't have any problems. There is a way to get past obstacles, there is a technique which is the technique that we show them, it is the best, the fastest, and well, there are some, once they are in the red, they arrive at the obstacle, they do anything. And right now we see the guy who has no

blood, no oxygen in his brain, and who is doing all sorts of crazy things. No, you do a pull-up each time. Move forward a little. For those who overcome fatigue and apply the instructors' technique , it works. As with number 81, the head teacher nicknamed him Mister Bean. At 23, he's certainly not the tallest or strongest of

the group, but he's going to surprise more than one person. You've done everything right, Mister Bean 80. OK, you stand there, you unpack your bag. Did you realize you had muscles this afternoon or something? Yes. So. When you hurt yourself a little there, that's when it works. We know that in this internship, as

our training boss used to say, we're going to have a tough time. So of course we have to get over it . The goal of this training is to push beyond our limits. And there are obstacles that are even more feared than others. They demand, in terms of sheer physical strength, an unstoppable technique.

This is where most people fail, like the famous Breton wall. [music] 2 m high, a completely smooth surface with no grips. For the average person , it is simply insurmountable. When you're a commander, you have to achieve it in one go.

For a piano already under scrutiny, this is far from a success. Okay, I'll stick my elbow out. Goes around an elbow. He failed three times. And ultimately has to pass on his turn. Uh, the Breton wall, it could very well be an obstacle that you find in a theater when you go on a mission where uh, the

city has been half razed and uh, well, you might have to cross a low wall to get into a house. All the obstacles found on the courses are obstacles that can be found naturally or not naturally on the terrain. Come on, come on, come on, come on. There's also the spider. Okay, let's get started

. That's the point . Okay, that's good. Not easy either. On the one hand, a giant net that can become a real tangle, but for number 31 it works. But for piano, straight point, straight point, you plant, lock, and release. That's the downfall. Ah, that's a bad fall. Head first. Go on, go with the others. We

need to stop being so petty, guys. Upon arrival, despite his headache, he will say nothing and prefers to lie. You don't have any headaches from your little fall earlier . OK. Can we? Yes , you can drink. Go ahead. I'm not a torturer here, well, maybe a little bit, but anyway. And stand up straight there. There you go, even if it

hurts, we hold our heads high. [grunt] But anyway, I didn't want to go to the infirmary because I was afraid they'd arrest me there. And then afterwards, I started vomiting two or three times. So my colleagues took me to see the instructors. I went to the infirmary, I went to the hospital, they did an X-ray and

then nothing serious. It was a huge shock . Piano can finally continue the selection. Beyond their physical performance, the instructors throughout the selection process will also be uncompromising on the trainees' state of mind. In the next challenge, some candidates will make serious mistakes during this course. In your opinion, where is the mistake?

Almost all of them will commit it. The main thing is, you're not going to like it. Ah, tell me everything. Out of 39 or 38 students, I don't know, only one crossed the puddle. They all went around. The young recruits preferred to go around the obstacle rather than get their feet wet. But there's something far worse.

There are those who throw their PMs on the bus too. Two candidates threw away their submachine guns during the test. 81, there's another one too. Number 81 is Mr. Bean. Number 18 is also going to get a dressing down . Let's make that clear right away. The weapon you are being given is a

weapon, not a toy. OK? So you respect her, you respect us, and you respect yourself. That means that from now on, nobody is going to start buying their own gun. What is this? He is a second PM. It's a PM. Your PM? Where was he? It must be him on me. That's the last time I'm telling you. Did

you understand? Yes, that's it. It's a weapon because it's not a toy. All right. So you stop messing with us now and you're a [ __ ]. Stop acting like an idiot. OK. You're a big boy. How old are you ? I am 18 years old. So at 18 you stop doing stupid things.

You are now putting your weapon down on the ground. Do you realize what you're doing? What will that do at night? At night you will put down your weapon, you will leave , you will forget about it, you will lose your weapon. Your number is 18 18. So from now on I have

your number and I'm saving it. OK. The thing is, next time you screw up , I think you'll get a beating. That works ? Yes, that's good. In the special forces, losing your weapon on a mission is a sure way to lose your life. So, to make sure he remembers the lesson, number 18 will

have to finish the day with a piece of wood attached to his leg as a reminder. There's 4-y and for Mr. Bean, it's 40 push-ups. What did I say before the race ? Their classmates are not spared either after the puddle mistake. To get there as quickly as possible, this way guys. So if you're already afraid of getting your

feet wet, well, you'll get through, but crawling this time. Here we go . Come on. And that way, there will be more water. After

the weapon, this is what will save your life and the lives of your colleagues. So, we take care of our weapon. If that's not already ingrained in your brain, you need to change the purpose of the fighter; it's to use his weapon. It's not his Bic pen. their weapon. During this internship, they

will have to learn to live with it. It is forbidden to separate from it. Whatever the circumstances, they sleep with them and of course go through all the trials with rifles slung over their shoulders. Did you all understand? Yes , I didn't hear anything. Yes, my friend. There's no question of putting down my weapon,

and even less of losing it during an exercise. And there's one who's going to learn the lesson the next day. On this 10m taut rope above the void without a net to reach the other side of the tank. There was no other choice but to crawl and advance using only the strength of their arms.

Come on, come on, don't stop there. You don't stop. What are you doing here? Having a weapon always slung over their shoulder often makes the ordeal even more difficult. But stop moving around like that. And there you have it. Come on, hurry up because if the stick goes into the water, that's a bad

technique. So. He's not going to knock your friend down. So. And there you have it. Number 59 finished the course but he lost his weapon. It's a failure. Hurry up. Hurry up. How come your weapon fell? It was poorly strapped, badly. You put it around your neck and not under your arm. Yes, I do.

OK. The penalty is imposed. 40 pumps. E means hands under the weapon, not the weapon in the ground. Yes, but the main point. Okay, here we go again. That should be automatic. I shouldn't even have to tell you.

It's really the journey that shows the level of the guys. This is the hardest part, and that's why it's called the commando course. The commando course, one of the most challenging moments of the 3-month training course where the best elements begin to stand out . The head trainer has already spotted a few of them, like number 48, whom he has

even nicknamed his champion. You're making me happy, champ. This 25-year-old sailor is applying for the internship for the first time. So far he has passed all the tests by hand. The hardest part is here. There aren't really any things that are truly impossible, but it's perhaps fatigue, the accumulation that makes small ailments become big ailments and we do

n't have time to treat all of that. And the injuries sustained on the commando course. That's good now . Come and see. It mostly turns out to be serious injuries. That's not good. Okay, I'll take a look around . Exhausted, it's not easy to crawl under barbed wire without scraping your face. Upon arrival, it was a massacre.

You scraped your head on the barbed wire. Come and see here. I am a surgeon. I'll give you that. We'll see if we need a small dot there or not. You didn't miss your chance, did you? Do you understand why you have to lower your head when there are barbed wire fences? Okay, you'll

gather at the infirmary afterwards. It cut quite well, by a good 10 centimeters there. PM, huh . I delete in the Wait. So. Don't move there. And what about those fingers? What did you do with your fingers there? Turn your hand there. So, were you blocked before, perhaps ? I already had Ah well yeah there

I think we'll have to go consult because there comes a point when the body becomes like that it may have to make a decision. Go join your colleagues, it's more suffering than anything else. I think he's going to stop. He has more skin on his fingers. So, in a moment, he's going to get blood everywhere.

Today's report: injuries and among them, a very unpleasant surprise for the head coach. Ah, but they all have it! Ah, well, that's my champion there. What is he doing to me ? Oh dear, disaster. Disaster. Okay, let's go see that because they're going to go see the doctor. Oh my champion, what's wrong with him?

My champion is limping, what's wrong ? What happened to you then? Well, listen, actually, I had an injury to my right leg. This is the second time I've gone for a consultation. The first time, they wanted to stop me and I said no, I would continue. Despite two bouts of leg and heel inflammation, the champion decided to

continue. But will he hold out until the end?

Especially since, for him, as for the rest of the troops, there's no time to relax tonight. They leave again for the entire night. Their mission? Set up camp deep in the forest and protect the site from enemy intervention. A seemingly easier event. Go in here. Go in here. [music] And without an instructor on their backs, the

young recruits think they can finally relax a little.

Leaving for the bivouac quite early in broad daylight allows the case to treat their injuries and rest. Anyway, as soon as they've polished their speech, they usually fall and they feel their friends there, they're all sleeping, resting and the pivots when we say to go to pivoque, we're happy. When, at 2 a.m., the instructors

take them by surprise. They simulate an attack very close to the bivouac. Will the interns react appropriately? Not really. In the confusion, they huddled together behind an unprotected wall . They are ideal targets for the enemy. Do you believe you are truly backed into a corner? Do you think you're really backed into a

corner there? Are you really backed into a corner behind the wall there? Tonight, Alex is the one evaluating them. Find me another spot there, in the same place but not cornered behind the wall. Hurry up and find a better way to organize yourself than this. Hurry up. He has 15 years of experience in the marine commando unit

. If you ever have to use your weapon, who will you use it against? Who are you using it against? Against your comrades who are in front. Change location. Change location. Go back to your [ __ ] bin, the instructor isn't lenient. These errors would have dramatic consequences in a real-life situation. Adopt a fighting attitude.

Start thinking. We're starting to become useful to the group. Do you have a fighting spirit? No. Don't be afraid, I'm not going to eat you. And a fighting spirit. You're a bit nervous, aren't you? Eh ? I think you're really very good to me. Hurry and pick up the phone. Come on. The trainees made a lot of mistakes. The

punishment will be handed down. Tell your classmate that you're scared to be here. You're afraid to be here. I saw the fear in your eyes. return to the ranks, weapon raised. [grunt] Holding your weapon in the air, the punishment might almost seem light. Survey. But after a commando day and a sleepless night, the rifle is very heavy

and as soon as one breaks, it's going to the bin. It's submerged in the tub of ice water. The others are in position. Hurry up. Down

. Completely exhausted. It continues to

train a little better. When we see that they are making unacceptable mistakes for people who want to acquire the green berth, well, we sanction them as they should be. An individual mistake can put the group in danger. So they need to realize that any mistake can have serious consequences for the success of the mission and for

the group. There's just one switch to turn off in your brain because resin is too much. Bottom to top.

The following morning, the instructors faced an extremely rare situation. Yeah. The one who wants to stop is 73. That's Resinman. Resinman gives up. Rest. It's tough this morning. The night was humid. However, he is not injured. His grades are okay, but his morale has faltered. A defection that could demotivate the rest of the group. One

of the high-ranking commandos traveled there in person. 147 assembled, complete to your lieutenant. Good morning, gentlemen. Your training supervisor came to see me this morning and informed me that one of you wanted to stop the internship. Who is it ? Step out of line. Step out of line and move well to one side

. The aim is not to contaminate the rest of the crew. Three steps to the left. Not too close. The officer wants to set an example. To you who are leaving, I want you to fully grasp the magnitude of your decision. It's not simply a matter of stopping the internship. Today, you've just decided to

join the losers' camp. All your life, you will give up just as you did today. To those of you who remain, I invite you, in every trial, to lift your head, to look at the horizon. The horizon for you is June 6th in Wistéam. This is the Ber and green handover. If you

get there, the stakes are twofold. It is both the Holy Grail chest, therefore the green ber. You will be covered in glory, but you will also be an extraordinary man. And I guarantee you, if you manage to achieve this dream, you will be able to do anything in life afterwards. You will never give up again

because you will have nerves of steel. So, be proud of what you do. Raise your head and cultivate this crew spirit in me . Stick together during the training boss's hours. Rest, let's go. Action ! Come on ! A speech that is enough to dissuade others from giving up. The troops are re-energized.

I have had moments of doubt, when you already see your friends leaving, when you feel like everything is conspiring against you, when you get up in the night, get woken up four times, go to the bath four times because you forgot a little something and you have to sleep soaked. As a result, we don't sleep at all during the night. And we

think it's hell, but once it passes, it passes. Morale is affected in the moment, but the decision, and let's say the reason we're here, takes over and it comes back. There are only 38 candidates left, soon to be 37. This time, they will have to face the elements. The exercise takes place on the

open sea. A situation similar to that which young recruits might encounter on a field mission. Failure is a fatal flaw.

So, a nice dive and then we swim in a line. On your marks. Ready ? Great! The zodiac has just turned around. You are 100m from the coast. We need to reach the coast. It is 100m to reach the pontoon. I have a feeling there's one on the left that's not very aquatic. Don't

touch him there, he's swimming, he'll manage. And if he's not comfortable, there's no point in squeezing him because he won't be able to swim. Lie down. Go on, lie down. Elongate. The rest of you, shut your mouths now. In a sea at 11°gr and a raincoat that is soaking up water, the number 74 is punctured.

He sinks, keep the line, you look over there . Advance. Completely panicked, he even forgot to activate his life jacket. A mistake that would prove fatal to him on a mission.

Let yourself die. Go ahead. Don't, whatever you do, don't move your hands, don't move your feet. There you have it, a beautiful dead body. There, we suffer, there it is suffered, the cry overflows. Come on, join the qu subator. Come here. Stop suffering like this. OK. Maybe you're not aquatic, maybe you're not made

for it. That's how it is. That's life. But at least we lift our heads and don't let ourselves die like a fluid. Even if you're exhausted and can't take it anymore, you still have to find a way to get out of it . So, what's the solution to get out of this? It's about pulling on the...

And there you have it. And you, no, you let yourself be taken for a ride. OK. Imagine this: you're on a mission, and you fall into the water. If there's no one next to you, well, you go to the back . Great, he went to the back, so we need to keep an eye on him because he's dangerous,

dangerous for him since he didn't even react by firing at his safety system. There's the will, but there's the physical ability to keep up, you know? So there you have it, it's a failure for the 100m. So that's a good sign, it's not great for him at all. Number 74 will be eliminated the following day.

[music] The candidates still in LEC have so far held up against the worst physical challenges. Now it is their mental resilience that will be put to the test. Facing the most extreme situations they will encounter on missions, including the cold. And number 3. What is the water like? It's good, it's always too hot.

Still too hot. You have to be convinced of that. Yes. Swimming in icy water is tough. But the worst part is waiting, soaked to the bone, until the whole group has passed. The outside temperature is approximately 10°. Well, once that's done, it's fine, that's the hardest part. It's afterwards, it's when we're outside there and it's at the bottom of

the water, it's in the concentrated thing, it's a success when we're in the water. Even though she was cold, we remained clear- headed. OK? We control our movements, making efficient and expansive movements. You should never panic and control your breathing. Fa pas si tu as garrière [grunt] but tu ne s'en ... OK? We're not staying here anymore. All right ? Water

is an environment that will teach you to become Z [grunt] and we don't panic. The fleet is in command of the sea.

Come on, Bourville knows that this kind of ordeal could tip him over. The cold is its main weakness. at the top of the ass every time you have to jump there the motivation we're not going to hide it sometimes the motivation is it's complicated to see what. But then the group effect said, "Okay, it's my turn now," and in the

end it was fine and I managed to take it on myself. He will ultimately hold on for almost an hour throughout the entire ordeal without cracking. How do those guys in the big article keep warm? They're doing the same thing as you there. However, those in front rotate; they move to the middle and so on.

Animals aren't stupid, and when it's cold, you have to breathe slowly, and when you shiver, that's normal, it's a good sign. The moment you stop trembling, you're hypothermic and that's when things start to go wrong . No particular question. Princip, what was the water like? No, that's not it. It's still too hot. What was the water like?

Still too hot. Main. Okay, guys, you need to get this through. Come on. And to make sure it sinks in for the candidates, they do it again that same evening. There, I'll set it aside . plunge into the tank and wait in the cold until nightfall. [sigh] The temperature has dropped to 5 6°grz

1 2 3 4 5 I told you we were going to suffer guys. Damn, not the head, the head. Come on, it's

[grunt] the next day, the candidates think they have to do a more relaxed test. Rappelling is an exercise they have already performed during the training course. All right. Except that this time, there will be an additional difficulty. And down there, react a little, look. Oh dear. Think about it, think about it. Oh, follow

that. Where does this strand go? That one, my friend, I know for once. Ah, he's passing by. So maybe that's what you need to get back. No, but if you go around the ring, it's not going to work there. They must tie the rope knots themselves to ensure their safety during the descent, and that is far from a minor

detail. In commando units, it's even a matter of life or death. If the guy has to lower his colleague using a half capstan, he is responsible for his colleague's safety. Because he has his life in his hands. What ? If he makes a shitty knot, his colleague Desvis falls and his knot instead of making a half turn has made a

dead turn, well he can always try to hold the rappel in his hand. Well, he's going to burn his hand, normally. However, the colleague downstairs, he's going to go down faster than expected. So there you have it, that's a real victory for a piano that was already struggling. Things aren't getting any better,

and even for the best of them, it's complicated, like Pipo who seems lost. So it's going to have to fit, otherwise they can say goodbye to Berfléchis, you're making a big mistake in your editing. We're reviewing everything detail by detail. What's the mistake? Who's passing by? Think about how you equipped yourself the other day,

faction bars. That's an even more glaring error. And guys, you're starting to become completely watertight. There, you're going to go wake up and then you come back and you'll quickly put your knot on the small loop. Go ahead, clear your head and then come back with the right knot in the right place.

And this candidate will now understand the crucial importance of this exercise. Champion, I have a champion. Little trouble with the fingers. And Mergise instead of fingers. We'll get there. We'll get there . So your right hand is there, it will be at hip level and your left hand will be on the knot

and you will see that you can go down right-handed even if you are left-handed. There, bam, you just took a bullet to the left arm. His knot is messed up. He is about to get off. I'm telling you, the head teacher caught him just in time. Let me do the bar, yet he almost fell from a height of 15m. And

now, you get off. Don't let go of my right hand. No, but not then you don't take it up there. No, but no, but you're doing it, you idiot. Letting go of the right hand is like letting go of the safety line, the one that will allow you to ensure the descent. When I descend a 25 or 30m wall

in shorts and sneakers, well, it works. On the other hand, when I descend a 30m wall with a 30kg bag, a harness that weighs 15 or 20kg plus my weapon and so on and so forth, it's not the same anymore. End of exercise. Short break and surprise bag inspection.

He's at BT. I'm doing a co-op internship. There is no dark chocolate. That includes dried fruit, fruit paste, and almond paste. Alternatively, you can also have some Pepitos afterwards. Perishable products are prohibited, including chocolate. Tuù, it's dry here. Everyone will go through it, even the champion. You see the thunder on your hot bridge and

you spill your whole bag on me. Come on, hurry up! And you put your weapon properly, it's not a handbag. OK? You're not going to do your shopping in town. He's human like everyone else , he's kind of the type who gives his all but deep down, he wants us to push ourselves, to show the best

of ourselves and then, as he says, he'll make his selection, but he doesn't really have the time and he's not into socializing. He's not there to do social work. Candidates are penalized for not respecting the rules. Those who talk, they pump, the others will gather here and there. Go Shad. Go 1 2 3 4

Because they were good, they had a good week. Thanks to their colleagues, they will be entitled to a small square of chocolate because I am nice. There you go, you can thank the main chocolate number 68. So, who do we thank? Thank you, and we'll wipe off his smile. Come on, I hope you're not allergic

to chocolate. He's good, isn't he? This is the little reward of the week. It won't always be like this. End of the second week. The toll is heavy. Another 15 withdrawals due to injuries. Weekly summary: quite a few people left after all. We're down to 24 out of 39 in a week, that's already pretty good. So.

So after, uh, I think there are still some who will leave. The head teacher doesn't realize how right he is when he says, "Attention, stop! Here we go! And the bad news is going to arrive faster than expected." Come on, hurry up, hurry up there and hurry up. Damn, we're still waiting for you.

The third week has just begun. Hop. And you're already closing another abandonment, and not a minor one. He is one of the head trainer's favorites, his champion. OK. What's wrong? But if you consulted a doctor, it means that, unfortunately, at some point it will be over for you. I know very well that, but I tell myself that

I could anyway, I would n't be able to do the main walk. I can't run at all anymore. Which step? These two cases of tendinitis are causing him too much pain. OK, you give me your weapon, you go see the doctor. Okay, I'm going. We're not going to discuss this for ages. Well,

now you know the consequences. OK. Come on, put your foot down. Good champ, that's it, I think. Because this is the second time he's consulted. He wanted to continue but he realized that his body wanted more. So there you have it, once again , I've lost one of my champions. The champion has reached the end of his

strength, but he has no regrets. [music] You have to be a little bit crazy to get into things like this, but no, it's really a great experience. So, you're not, you're, you're a little disappointed ? Sure, I'm disappointed because of the injury, but my morale isn't affected and I know that in September, I'll be

back, I'll be back determined and that's it , it'll be over this time. Would I have taken the necessary precautions? Upstream. This departure is just the beginning of a long series. Three more retirements will follow this week. It's far from a done deal and it's far from over, especially for those who think that after 3 weeks,

it's party time. OK. So now we retrieve two grappling hooks and we go to the grappling pit. And your fate for this weekend will be decided at that moment. Come on, [music] there are only 20 of them left and the weakest will make their case even worse for the god of instructors. Raise your head. Watch

this new exercise, the grappling hook throw. There you go, not bad. Don't forget to let go of the "de"s properly, and yet at first glance, it's far from being the most difficult part. But when you don't have the knack like Mr. Bean, it's too short. There you go , we can try endlessly. Come on, [ __ ]

[music], the gods created for woman. Here's the 4th attempt [music] over there on the left. Oh, I have a feeling you're going to bore me to tears. I don't know why, but the same applies to piano. Go ahead . Oh yeah, then no. Half of the candidates fail. Let go of your left hand.

E, clear off, clear off. You're starting to annoy me now . And your fate, it is, it is, it is made there. You didn't understand that you needed to let go of your hand. If you hold the tip, if you hold the tip, the thing will go up. That's the void where the encephalogram is

flat. There, there's no more sound, no more image. I think I know what I'm going to make you do tonight, that's clear. With the grappling hook, you have to be convinced you'll succeed on the first try. There are some, they're already coming, we know that all we have to do is look at them. Will I

succeed? Am I not going to succeed ? No, it's that I will succeed. OK, the technique is there. And that's not the kind of movement it is. OK, we're not bringing out the salad. So we're on the side, we're watching, I do this and bam. I'm throwing it out there. [music] On the next attempt, the

headmaster has planned a penalty in case of failure. One chance to throw the grappling hook, to get it through on the first try, whoever misses designates a guy who won't be on leave this weekend. We're worse than Colantable. So whoever misses will designate one of his colleagues who will not be on leave. That's

the game. This should motivate you to succeed on your first try. It started off at a light jog. Come on. A sanction that may seem unfair but which will strengthen group cohesion. For 4 hours, the strongest candidates help the weakest to perfect their technique. If you want to send the grappling hook for Mister Bean and Piano, the help of

their comrades will be very welcome. Wait, that's just your move, you're not finishing it. I was having difficulty getting past the grappling hook on the assault course and I saw each guy taking turns coming to see me. He really wanted me to succeed, in fact, because he would come to see me and

show me all the techniques. The technique is always the same, but it was nice to see each guy who absolutely wanted me to succeed so they could stay with them. So, in the end, who will be deprived of the weekend ? Hop attention attention attention Mister Bean. So Mr. Bean, you now have an

enormous responsibility on your shoulders. I knew it would pass. I saw it in his eyes . Miss Bine. The eye of the tiger. That was n't the cat's eye. Ah, okay. You were supposed to be there. Following. Oh my goodness! Second, who will not be on leave there. We're emphasizing this because we want

the guys to succeed; if we didn't want to, OK, you don't understand anything. You're useless, and that's it, you're out. So that's not the point. But the goal is to train the guys and then make them operational. There on the courses, well, you have to teach them the right technique and then what do you want them to succeed at?

That's the principle. Come on, Mr. Bean, lie down there. We'll say he's a little old man there, 80 years old. Okay 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 And does that hurt your knee? 3 4 1 2 3 4 This is really the last week of the valleys so uh after that they have more of a

chance, you know. For some, this is their last chance, let's say. The verdict of the test: two trainees failed the grappling hook exercise. The two who missed out, get out the money. So who have you designated who will not be on leave? Headmaster, you appoint yourself. Yes. Headmaster and you, the same headmaster.

OK. So the others, you will be on leave. OK. But the group spirit will prevail. We should have said it then. No, but wait, wait, wait, that's it, that's it, that's what he said on wood. So it would be good to react by saying afterwards we all do it together, that both of us do it

and that we leave quietly. You see, it doesn't do that anymore, it's hot. Now finally they all decide to forgo their weekends out of solidarity. They inform the head teacher. What is it? Not permitted. Ah, well, that makes me happy. It's starting to come together now. Good mindset, guys. That's good, so no leave, that's

good guys. You make me happy. Now go get to work. Team spirit is very important because when we are tired, there is our teammate who will give us a hand. He will help us if we are a little slower than him and we will return the favor when it is his turn. You can't do an internship

alone, it doesn't work like that because there will be plenty of challenges where we will have to support each other to move forward. You can't fight a war alone anyway. Before the end of this 3rd week, the instructors have planned one more test. After a week of intense effort, it will turn into a

real ordeal for the candidates. Everything we make them do, there is an accumulation whether it is in fatigue or after physical or mental effort, well we see if the guy is still able to analyze, to have a clear enough mind to, well, to do the mission. Will the young recruits have a clear head after this final test?

A 30km race with a 12kg pack and always the weapon around my neck. Very quickly, the gaps widen. Mister Bean is on the fruit milking route, it's easier. Water. Come on, let's not waste time like this. Speed up a little now. Halfway through the journey, Bourville is slowing down . Piano is suffering,

but he doesn't give up.

The first ones are still arriving, m the a of the 59. Come on, straighten up. Stand up straight. Go back there , you'll get hydrated. You calmly place your dry [item] . Your feet, your bag. You put on warm clothes.

Oh [ __ ]!

I've never made an effort like that before. Never.

Remember the number, come on, let's get back up, that

hurts guys, I 'm dead,

everyone is capable of doing it afterwards, but people need to be able to walk and be able to fight afterwards. So, we put them in situations of extreme fatigue. 30 km with a bag is like running a half-marathon. So we ask a lot of people because we want to be sure that on the day when they have to

carry 30 kg on their back, walk 15 km and then do an action, the guy will be able to do the action even if he is tired. You're going to come with me, we're going to stretch our legs towards the water, okay, to get all the lactic acid flowing down , that's normal. You

ran well, so we'll do that. OK. That's less cramping. It was the worst effort of my life. Oh damn, I wasn't feeling well. I wasn't feeling well. Mine hurt me too much. Ah yeah, yeah. Tuas fini la morcea le tendon là c'est marche de 30. J'ai une inflammation, je l'ambule de vite donc ça fait 3 semaines

et je pas je pas je autant subi un marche. Mr. Bean has reached the end, but she is dying. On the verge of vomiting, he is comforted by Piano who gave his all to make up for his poor performances. He finished 5th over the last 10 kilometers. It was all mental, I couldn't feel my legs anymore, I couldn't feel

my legs anymore and I knew I had to... it was hard but well it's over, that's a big point for me. Come on guys, let's not waste any time. In 7 minutes, we'll be boarding the truck. The day has only just begun. The day is not over, but only for some. Piano and Mr. Bean in particular.

OK, I'm coming. They still have one last test to undergo. A make-up test. There are just under ten of them in the hot seat. Their performance is below standard. This journey, [music] is their last chance to continue the internship. The dance begins with the piano. One failure at any obstacle and it's all over

. This time on the Breton wall, it's a flawless performance.

Now, the rope test where piano had not been on time. You go over the bar. I don't want a foot on the end. 1 m. This

time, it works. Come on, I gave it my all. It's gratifying when you complete a course without failures and when you know you gave it your all, it's gratifying because I think the grade will follow. As for Mister Bean, so far it's also been flawless. Misterin, we're giving it our all right to the end

. But before jumping into the tank, he pauses for a moment before leaping. That says it all. If you put that on a plane, it won't fit through the door. Come here . Why are you hesitating to jump there? What are you afraid of? A commando unit isn't afraid. It is fear that is afraid of the commando.

So when we arrive, we jump. If I put your ass on a plane right here in front of the door, are you going to jump? No, you won't jump. If you're already afraid to do that, you'll be afraid to jump out of the plane. Don't you think so? No. So if you're already afraid to jump from there

to get to the asparagus, I think that in the plane there, you'll be 400m from the ground and you'll have to jump. Do you think you'll succeed? I don't know. Ah, go on, get going. That would be his only mistake on the journey. Will it cost him his place for the rest of the internship? The

answer came the next day. This marks the end of the second major stage of the internship. The results will be announced after 3 weeks of evaluation. Ranger Ciré, impeccable attire, clean-shaven and made up as required. The 20 trainees await the verdict outside the instructors' office. Last week, it was a complete disaster . It's not even

the main master and his deputies who are taking stock and eliminating the weakest to the maximum extent that he could. So we confirm, we confirm on all four of them. That makes 16 guys. OK, perfect. Okay, small group, but a good group now. No, that's the good news. Yeah, that's less fun. Okay, there are

16 selected and four eliminated. All hands on deck . Complete, complete, my French Paul, rest. Attention, gentlemen. Congratulations on these 3 weeks. More challenges are yet to come. Make sure you're ready so that on June 6th, you can honor your elders who arrived on that date by obtaining a green ber. Princip, at your

rest. The head master will now announce the numbers of those eliminated. Numbers 53, 5, 14, and 81. Number 81 is Mr. Bean. For the piano, it's a huge relief. I was really stressed until the end and so I'm a little happier, I think, compared to the others who were good and knew who was going to

play. It's just [grunt] I had the suspense until the end, they told us that four were leaving. He begins to give the names. I'm on tiptoe, ready to go. We need to hold on tight now because nothing is over yet. So, you're a group of 16. OK. That's a good rugby team. Normally, that should do it. It's

good. Congratulations, as the chief said. But it's not over yet, guys. It's good. Yes, the main one. That's a good motivation. OK. For together, keep yourselves. Rest. I'm going to go cheer up your little friends. Yeah, it's a bit more of a game. a weight that is removed, what. The eras are over, that's already one point

lost. Now all that's left is to soak it in, and it's hard when you've worked to make a group of them to see them leave from this point on, from now on . Yeah, it's a bit tough because, well, the smaller the group gets, the harder it is to see someone leave. OK guys. Come on, get over there, not like an

onion there. The head teacher does his best to comfort the losers. Mr. Bean immediately raised his hand. You all have the ability. So Mr. Bean, you need to eat some lion, go eat some gazelle, and you'll see, you'll feel better. Good luck!

It's not a failure. It's not a failure. It taught me things. I did it for 3 weeks. Those three weeks taught me quite a lot . I know what I need to revise and what I need to do to come back and this time pass these 3 weeks and get into stage 2. It's

hard for the losers to see their classmates preparing for what's next.

We're almost certain there's no problem for you. You just need to mature a bit and work. So normally Mister Bean, this will follow you all your life, Mister Bean, for those who still have 2 months of training before getting the famous Beret.

2 months of intensive training. They will finally learn to become elite soldiers, special forces on land, in the air, but above all, as required by marine commandos, in the water. They learn to [ __ ], that is, to intervene discreetly and quickly in a Zodiac boat on a beach. It is an assault method that they must

master perfectly and for which they will practice for hours, day and night. Barring serious misconduct, they are virtually guaranteed to earn the green beret. But after this training, only the best will be called upon in the future to go [music] on missions to the ends of the earth in the most dangerous places on the planet.

[music] But before that, there remains one final step.

A sort of rite of passage that all trainees dread because no one knows exactly what it consists of. In elite forces jargon, this is called coxing. It has a reputation for being particularly trying and it can happen to them at any moment.

Today, a pair exercise in the forest. The program includes an obstacle course. At first glance, nothing out of the ordinary. The group suspects nothing. As usual, the headmaster is keeping a close eye on things. At the end of the journey, the mission consists of storming a ruin where an invisible enemy is hiding.

[music] Come on, go ! Suddenly, the young trainees find themselves facing a completely unexpected attack. In a matter of seconds, without any warning, he found himself hooded and handcuffed.

They are taken away by force, two by two . They understood it well, the dreaded moment of the coxage has just begun. They're all going to go through it.

Like all his classmates, this candidate suspects nothing.

To preserve the secrecy of the coxage, we will not be able to film what is happening. All we know is that it involves confinement, harsh interrogation, and psychological pressure. The rocket was able to tell us a few words. We're under the hood. There are guys behind here who are coming to get us. We don't know what to do

. Finally, under these conditions, I believe that the body voluntarily avoids being lucid as a survival instinct. Because if we're being realistic, then we're constantly afraid. So here we are, thinking about lots of things, thinking about the beach, thinking about holidays. It's completely paradoxical. That has nothing to do with it. We think about

family, we think about everything that's good for us, but it has nothing to do with the present moment. I won't talk about the ordeal itself, but well, it's shocking. It's shocking for oneself, you know. We're getting to know each other. Personally, it really made me question myself. I thought I might be stronger in a

lack of humility, but in fact I realize that there is no champion.

After several hours, still under the hood, they are released two by two and led to the head master. Who is the artist? Who could be? OK, I'll buy you with your bin of course. There is an entrance, an exit. The goal is to get out as quickly as possible. OK, it's about raising your arms.

I will set you free. I'm going to let you loose on the course. All right. Shocked and trembling, they had their handcuffs removed. The end of the ordeal is near. OK. Viabl. OK. You can go through the course. Attention. OK. Get right behind me. You go back inside and walk straight to the

left. Okay, let's go. Still in the dark, disoriented, they must find their way out of a maze of narrow tunnels. [grunt] They have 1 hour. They got a glimpse of what it was like to be a captive. Al, it's light and from the little they've already suffered, you can tell they're quite affected. So this will

show them that they absolutely mustn't get caught. But we can see that they are physically affected [grunt] and then maybe some of them a little bit morally too. At the other end of the labyrinth, there is a return to freedom. The test is over. None of them cracked. [music]

It's D-Day, the ceremony for the presentation of the awards. It takes place every June 6th in Wistream Square, the same place where in 1944 the first marine commandos of Commander Kfer landed with the British. The bagpipes are there to remind us that the first marine commandos were trained by the English. The highest-ranking officials of the

French Navy are present. The veterans are there too, and among them a legend, Léon Gautier, one of the first to land in Normandy on June 6, 1944. But what everyone is waiting for are the new recruits dropped by helicopter. All 16 who were still in contention are here. To the sound of bagpipes, he presented himself

before the entire general staff to receive the long-awaited green beret. Léon Gautier presents the first prize to the top student in the class. The moment is solemn. Emotion is evident on their faces, especially for this trainee who receives the bert-himself former marine commando. And the culmination after 3 months of effort,

they will now parade through the streets of Wistream.

The little marine commandos, the young embers, the newborns. Damn, we've already left here. You have to be proud, you hold your head high, you show off your chicken pecs. That's done, guys. That's done. Savoring the moment, it happens once in a lifetime. You're proud of them, aren't you? Yeah , but above all, he needs to be

proud of them.
