1
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,320
[indistinct clamoring, shouting]

2
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,400
[crowd cheering]

3
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,400
[woman] Come on, Gabriel!

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,640
[grunting with effort]

5
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,440
We got this. Just have fun.

6
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:37,960
-One, two, three!
-[players] UK!

7
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,200
-[crowd roaring]
-[commentator speaking indistinctly]

8
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:48,120
[crowd clapping rhythmically in distance]

9
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,640
The world needs to be reminded
of the power of the human spirit.

10
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,640
[man 2] Y'all ready?

11
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,840
[all] Hell yeah!

12
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,360
[Prince Harry] The ability to heal
and the strength of resilience

13
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,880
that allows us to recover
and come back stronger.

14
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:13,400
[cheering continues]

15
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,160
[Prince Harry] With whatever you carry,
with whatever may weigh you down,

16
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,640
it is here at the Invictus Games

17
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,800
that you realize it was the springboard
that propelled you to the next level.

18
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,400
[man 2] Just have fun, don't drown.

19
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,440
[woman 2] Yup. Just have fun, don't drown.

20
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,120
Phew! No pressure.

21
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,840
[Prince Harry]
To being the best version of yourself.

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,080
The version of yourself that you missed.

23
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,000
[stirring, uplifting music playing]

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,760
[Prince Harry]
That your spouse has missed.

25
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,520
That your kids missed.

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,720
When I talk to my son Archie about
what he wants to be when he grows up,

27
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,000
some days it's an astronaut,

28
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,880
other days it's a pilot.

29
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,320
But what I remind him is
that no matter what you want to be,

30
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280
it's your character that matters most.

31
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,800
[announcer speaking indistinctly]

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,280
And nothing would make
his mum and me prouder

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,360
than to see him have the character
of what we see before us today.

34
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,920
You.

35
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,760
[stirring music playing]

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160
[man 3] I'm so proud of you, big guy.

37
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,040
[woman 3] Remember to breathe.

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,840
No… Oh! Not no, and then so, yes.

39
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:42,000
I'm talking too fast.
You're like, "What did you say?"

40
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,440
[rich laughter]

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,120
I'm getting sad now.
We have to stop. Yeah.

42
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,800
I knew this stuff was coming.

43
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:02,800
[Prince Harry] Morning, lads. Welcome.

44
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,840
-[man 1] Hello, mate.
-How are you doing?

45
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:07,640
-[man 1] Good. You?
-[Prince Harry] Not too bad. Welcome.

46
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,880
-Oh!
-[man 1] Brought a rucksack.

47
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,480
-Nice neck of the woods.
-[Prince Harry] Shall we go for a hike?

48
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,800
-[man 2] Let's do it.
-[man 1] Yeah, ready. Of course.

49
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:15,720
[man 2] Let's cruise.

50
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
-[man 1] Shotgun.
-[man 2] What?

51
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,120
-[Prince Harry] That's a quick call.
-[man 1] Fair.

52
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,440
-The law of the shotgun…
-[man 2] I respected the law.

53
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,280
-[man 1] I didn't ask for a reload.
-[Prince Harry] A reload? What?

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,440
-[man 1] You can reload.
-Can you?

55
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,080
[man 1] You might think
I'm a rubbish navigator.

56
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,000
Really?

57
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,920
[man 2] I'm the only one
that's not an officer.

58
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,120
You can trust me with a map.

59
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360
What's square and ***** with an officer?

60
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,880
A map.

61
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,320
[all laughing]

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,080
Here we are.

63
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,360
[interviewer] What's your name?

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,560
My name's Harry.

65
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,880
-What do you do, Harry?
-What do I do?

66
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Uh, on any given day,
I'm a dad of two under-three-year-olds.

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,480
I got a couple of dogs.

68
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:57,920
A husband.

69
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,080
I'm founding patron
of Invictus Games Foundation.

70
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,480
There's lots of hats that one wears,

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,600
but I believe today is all about Invictus.

72
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,200
-[Prince Harry] Nice day for a stroll.
-[man 1] Ah, mate.

73
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,920
That is beaut, innit?

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,160
-[man 2] Vineyards? What's that?
-[Prince Harry] Yeah. That's a bush.

75
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,960
[all chuckling]

76
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,320
[birdsong]

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,040
I've always had myself down
as being the dad

78
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,640
that I could never be serving
while having kids.

79
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,960
And you both did, right?
You're still serving?

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,200
-I just got out.
-You just got out?

81
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:37,400
Lucy was pregnant when I was shot.
I came back from Iraq.

82
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Lucy got pregnant in the summer.
I was out in Afghanistan in September.

83
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,080
One of the guys that we lost, um,

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,840
his wife was pregnant
with his son, George.

85
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080
He's a young man now. He's 12.

86
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,960
Um…

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,560
Yeah, just that…
You hear so many stories of that.

88
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,040
Guys who died over there
and never met their kids.

89
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,320
[Prince Harry] It's never the individual
signing up. It's the whole family.

90
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440
[Wiseman] After I was shot,
I was in a fairly shit state.

91
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:07,240
The round traveled the length of my torso,

92
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,880
hit my ribs at the back,
hit the ribs at the front,

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,840
rattled around a little bit like a pinball
before coming to rest in my right lung.

94
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,160
And I stopped breathing.

95
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,600
And I stopped breathing a couple of times.

96
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,680
[exhales heavily]

97
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,040
[crowd cheering]

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,600
[commentator 1] David Wiseman,
who is captain of the UK Invictus team.

99
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,960
It's been a traumatic few years for him.

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,160
Decent start by Wiseman.

101
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,680
[Wiseman] When I was a soldier,
that meant the world to me.

102
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,720
And then, once I was wounded, well,

103
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,480
how do you define yourself then?

104
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,760
[commentator 1] David Wiseman comes
to win gold for the United Kingdom.

105
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:54,560
Estonia takes silver.

106
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,960
[commentator 2]
What a celebration by David Wiseman.

107
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,720
Touched the wall, looked up,
and he was fist-pumping that air.

108
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,480
Invictus was the best week of my life.
That lives on, stronger than ever.

109
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,400
To feel like a rock star that week,
to have the red carpet rolled out.

110
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,560
That's what you did.

111
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,040
[Prince Harry] So come on, then.

112
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,880
Best bit of Invictus,

113
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,320
whether… whether you were
part of it or not.

114
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,040
[Chalmers] First of all,
the wheelchair rugby final from 2014.

115
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,880
-That Friday night?
-Yeah.

116
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,680
[commentator 1] This match is
being played at a frantic pace.

117
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,320
-[crowd roaring]
-[referee blows whistle]

118
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800
There's another try on the board,
and listen to the noise.

119
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,200
-[whistle blows]
-It is victory for the UK.

120
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,720
[roar of crowd trailing off]

121
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:43,480
[Wiseman] For me, it was
watching Luke Sinnott run the 400 meters.

122
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,120
I think he was
the only double amp on the start line.

123
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,120
-[referee] Set.
-[crack of pistol]

124
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,600
[Wiseman] The gun goes off,

125
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,640
and everyone just races ahead
'cause they've all got one leg

126
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,840
and he's got none,

127
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,280
and he starts off so slowly.

128
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,880
And he is miles behind.

129
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,480
And I'm screaming for Luke.
He's the only Brit in the race.

130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,560
[crowd cheering]

131
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,600
On the second corner, he's catching up.
He's come level.

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,800
And the final 100 meters,
he just takes everybody

133
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,400
and wins gold.

134
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,840
This sounds cheesy,
but it's genuinely true.

135
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:35,120
I could see sort of like an analogy,
a metaphor for… for recovery, right?

136
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,200
[Prince Harry] Yeah.

137
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,920
-He was so far behind everyone.
-[Chalmers] Yeah.

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,640
But he just kept plugging.

139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Australia 2018, in the pool.

140
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,040
[commentator 3] And the final of the men's
50-meter breaststroke ISA.

141
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,200
And they're away.

142
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Mark Ormrod of the UK.

143
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,120
[Wiseman] He wasn't meant to do the race,
but one of the lads turned up

144
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,600
and it would mean
he'd have no one to race against.

145
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,520
-That's it.
-And he'd never…

146
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800
He'd never done that distance before.

147
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:11,840
[commentator 1] Ormrod almost out of steam
and Robinson is closing the gap.

148
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Oh my word! What a finish!

149
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Is it Ormrod? Is it Robinson?

150
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,760
It's Ormrod, just! 1:45.01!

151
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,280
-[Chalmers] I think Mark won it.
-[Wiseman] Yeah.

152
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,360
I thought it was gonna be a sports day.

153
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,800
It'd be like,
"We'll do the egg-and-spoon race."

154
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,640
[Prince Harry] I remember.
That stuck with me.

155
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,520
[upbeat classic rock playing]

156
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,480
[commentator 1] Unbelievable!
They're taking it to another level here.

157
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,960
[Prince Harry] Drinks down.

158
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,200
We're gonna do a Mexican wave
from front to back. One, two, three…

159
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,280
Go!

160
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,360
[crowd cheers]

161
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,440
[reporter] This weekend,
wounded veterans from around the world

162
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,280
are taking part in
the Invictus Games in London,

163
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,800
a tournament established
for the first time this year

164
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,800
by Britain's Prince Harry.

165
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
[Prince Harry] We made a great start
in London in 2014.

166
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,160
We took it to the next level in Orlando.

167
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,560
Toronto is going to draw
the attention of the world.

168
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,960
[Prince Harry]
Sport really does change lives,

169
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,000
and it saves lives as well.

170
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,320
I lost count of how many people,

171
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,720
wives, girlfriends,
parents, grandparents, kids,

172
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,360
coming up to me saying,
"Thank you for bringing my dad back."

173
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,840
"Thank you for putting
a smile back on my husband's face."

174
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,200
And to be able to see
these people's experiences

175
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,400
or their lives being changed
for the better, this is a ripple effect.

176
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,000
They're inspiring
everybody else at the same time.

177
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,640
[commentator] Mark Ormrod,
the former Royal Marines commando,

178
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,960
looking for his third medal here.

179
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,560
[Prince Harry] This was always in my mind
as a three-year operation.

180
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,480
I didn't want the need.

181
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:04,720
If there wasn't a need,
no one was getting hurt.

182
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,720
'Cause if the need is there,
then this games will always continue.

183
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,320
[delicate, mysterious music playing]

184
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,120
[indistinct radio chatter]

185
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,280
[radio in Ukrainian]
In the east of Ukraine,

186
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,520
hazy weather is forecast
across the region…

187
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,600
[radio trails off]

188
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,360
[in Ukrainian] My name is Yuliia Paievska.

189
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,560
Call sign "Taira."

190
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,240
I am a paramedic.

191
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,560
I signed a contract
with the Armed Forces in 2014,

192
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,120
but now I'm just a volunteer.

193
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,440
This has been
the last seven years of my life.

194
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,960
The majority of Ukraine is in peace,

195
00:11:15,680 --> 00:11:18,920
but in the east, there are conflicts.

196
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120
There's a sniper firing, head down!

197
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,600
The most skilled snipers will shoot you

198
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,680
right in the nuts!

199
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,920
-You're talking bullshit.
-I heard it somewhere.

200
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,720
You're such a smart ass!

201
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,120
Feel with your fingers for holes.
One way to check…

202
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,280
Don't be afraid, I know everything
you've got down there…

203
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,080
Nothing can surprise me!

204
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,320
And if you find a hole,
apply a tourniquet immediately.

205
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,360
Go on! Go on! Go on! Go on!

206
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,800
Yes, like that…

207
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,000
Now that's a correctly applied tourniquet.

208
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,880
-[man] "Invinc…? Invictus."
-[Paievska] "Invictus." Yes.

209
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,000
[woman] Invictus Games.

210
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,520
[man] Turns out everyone knows it,
and I only found out yesterday.

211
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,960
[nurse] Good morning!

212
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,760
[Paievska] Hello. How are you doing?

213
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,200
I know how long a cardiogram takes.

214
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,760
I'm coming.

215
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,520
What are you growing here?
Where's your depilation?

216
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,240
And you're covered in hickeys.

217
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,560
Tell your wife it wasn't me.

218
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,640
Okay.

219
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,200
-You need a hand?
-No…

220
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,920
Okay? Good.

221
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,840
[door closes]

222
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,080
[nurse] So you're
the first girl of the day.

223
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,520
-I'll be a good girl. Don't worry.
-We'll take everything off.

224
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Yes, I understand. One second.

225
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,200
Seven years on the front,
I have titanium joints in my legs…

226
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,960
My backbone suffers,

227
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,280
and I've been having these traumas
for a long time.

228
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,520
I first heard about Invictus

229
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,840
when I was in hospital
after one of my surgeries.

230
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,600
[medical device whirring]

231
00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,680
[heart beating]

232
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,680
[nurse, softly] That's all.

233
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,040
What is it?

234
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,280
[nurse] Hmm?

235
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:16,560
What is it?

236
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,120
There's something…

237
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,440
If they tell you to redo it,
we'll do that.

238
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,280
All good except something here…

239
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:30,800
[zipper zips]

240
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,840
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

241
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,440
If there's anything, we'll redo it.

242
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,000
Got it, okay.

243
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
-Everything's there.
-Yes, you can see everything.

244
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,080
[somber, delicate music playing]

245
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,520
[Paievska] When I did
the examination in the hospital,

246
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,720
it turned out that I had,

247
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:54,640
well…

248
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:02,040
According to the results
of the ultrasound,

249
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,680
I'd somehow had two heart attacks.
That's what it suggested.

250
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
Honestly, I have no idea
when the attacks happened.

251
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,960
[electronic voice in English]
Recording in progress.

252
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040
Hi, Jay. We're just linking in.

253
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,120
-[Jay] Hear me?
-Loud and clear.

254
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,840
This is one of the series of calls
with all the nations

255
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,720
to get where you are at the moment.

256
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,760
-[electronic voice] Recording stopped.
-Excellent.

257
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,920
So it's just popped up. Yeah.

258
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,160
-Hi, Oksana. How are you?
-Hi, Richard. We're good.

259
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,120
-How are you doing?
-Fine, thank you. We're good.

260
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,720
[Horbach] My name is Oksana Horbach.

261
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,280
I am team manager
for Invictus Games Team Ukraine.

262
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,200
[Richard] I thought we'd start
with a Covid overview.

263
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,880
From our view, we're…
we're well set and ready to deliver.

264
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,200
[Horbach] Since the military conflict
in Eastern Ukraine in 2014

265
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,760
by the Russian Federation,

266
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,960
we were not ready to have veterans.

267
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,640
We didn't have medical, physical,
or psychological rehabilitation.

268
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,160
And when we learned about Invictus Games,

269
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,640
we understood that this is something
we definitely need.

270
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,800
[woman] The Netherlands
are currently in lockdown.

271
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,240
There is the possibility the government

272
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,000
will pull the plug out of every event.

273
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,560
But we are confident
the games will come on,

274
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,880
unless another variant
of concern will show up.

275
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,200
As far as Ukraine,
the decision has already been made.

276
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,920
It is positive. We will go.

277
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,560
Great to hear, Oksana. That's brilliant.

278
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,440
But will Prince… the Duke of Sussex
and his wife be present?

279
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640
-Can we expect him?
-[Smith] Absolutely.

280
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Everything we know,
and we're in constant communication,

281
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,520
he's making plans as we speak.

282
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,520
[elegant classical music playing]

283
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,120
Hi there. How are you?

284
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,520
-I'm Tish.
-Nice to see you.

285
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,480
[Prince Harry]
Nice to see you. How are you?

286
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,320
[camera shutters snapping]

287
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600
-[Harry] Haven't done this for a while.
-[Markle] I know.

288
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,200
My heart, I'm like…
[Prince Harry imitates rapid beating]

289
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,280
I'm nervous.

290
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,040
[indistinct chatter, clamoring]

291
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,040
Nice to meet you.
We've met before, haven't we?

292
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600
-My name is Zeita. Zeita Merchant.
-Zeita?

293
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,480
-Two and a half years, we're back.
-We're back.

294
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,760
Great.

295
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,640
[emcee] Ladies and gentlemen,

296
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,200
it is my honor to introduce
the humanitarian and environmentalist,

297
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,320
mental wellness advocate
and military veteran,

298
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,480
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex.

299
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,080
[Prince Harry] Tonight, we are here
to honor a group of men and women

300
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,960
whose lives are defined by service,

301
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,440
purpose and, of course, resilience.

302
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:23,240
Many of us in this room understand

303
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,120
why service members often feel isolated
after they come home

304
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,240
or once they leave the forces.

305
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:30,680
Wouldn't you?

306
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,760
[helicopter blades whirring]

307
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,440
[Prince Harry] The reason
I was allowed to go to Afghanistan

308
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,080
is because it was kept secret.

309
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,640
While I was there
for ten weeks, no one knew,

310
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,320
apart from the British press
that had all said,

311
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,360
"We'll keep quiet,
as long as we get access."

312
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,080
You do the job. Everyone's the same.

313
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,360
Everyone's life
is as important as everybody's.

314
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,120
Sitting here, we're in threat.
It's the same across Helmand,

315
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,280
across Afghanistan.

316
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:03,960
You know, everyone is under threat.

317
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,400
All of this came about post my extraction
from Afghanistan in 2008.

318
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,800
I'd spent ten weeks on the ground,
in the sand with all the others.

319
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,840
[reporter]
British military officials announced

320
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,240
they're pulling the prince
from the combat zone

321
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,720
after word of his deployment was leaked.

322
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,960
[Prince Harry] To suddenly be
on the way home, I was angry.

323
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,640
But it was important for everyone
around me and their safety to remove me.

324
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,600
My own experience in Afghanistan
was really affected by that flight home.

325
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,360
As we took off,
the curtain in front of me blew open.

326
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:52,120
And all you could see
was the air hospital.

327
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,680
[medical monitors beeping]

328
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,360
Three young British soldiers,

329
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,640
all wrapped in plastic
and their bodies in pieces.

330
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,400
I saw what only people had talked about.

331
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,360
That was the real trigger for…

332
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,760
"I'm now seeing the real cost of war."

333
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,040
Not just individuals, but their families
and what that would mean

334
00:19:12,120 --> 00:19:14,200
and how their lives were changed forever.

335
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,880
It took me time to realize that in war,
it's not just soldiers,

336
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,760
it's not just those on the front line
that pay a heavy price.

337
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:23,760
It's everybody.

338
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280
[somber music playing]

339
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:30,400
Stepping foot off the plane,
I was angry this happened to these guys,

340
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,840
angry that the media weren't covering it,

341
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,280
angry that I'd been pulled out.

342
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,000
But at that point, it wasn't clear to me
what needed to be done.

343
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920
All I was trying to work out
and navigate was,

344
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,040
"I've got this platform."

345
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:47,240
"I just had this experience.
What can I do with this?"

346
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,480
[bay door gears grinding]

347
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,080
[interviewer] What'd you think
when you saw those guys on the plane?

348
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,720
[Prince Harry]
There's a choke in your throat

349
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,080
because you know it's happening.

350
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,080
Um, a lot of time,

351
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,680
when you're in theater,
it's not really mentioned.

352
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,800
It was hard.

353
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,640
You want to talk to them,
find out how they were.

354
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,840
Typical British soldier, they'd go,

355
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,360
"I'm fine, sir. I've lost my arm.
Didn't like that arm anyway,"

356
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,360
or something like that.

357
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,200
How can we make sure more people
know what's happening, the reality,

358
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,160
as opposed to some troops over there,

359
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,360
fighting a war overseas.

360
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,120
That was where it all started,
and then the idea, or concept,

361
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,720
or the reality
that sport can play an enormous part

362
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,680
in everyone's rehabilitation,
be it psychological or physical.

363
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,400
[man] Picture at the end
of basic training.

364
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,960
I'm on there somewhere.

365
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,880
Picture of my birthday with my cake.
It ended up in my face.

366
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,040
There we go. Ended up in my face.

367
00:20:59,120 --> 00:21:00,120
[chuckles wryly]

368
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,600
I just went through all my photos

369
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,160
and left which ones I liked
the look of to put up, to be honest.

370
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,320
A picture of me the day I left.

371
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,720
I'm chilling, the evening after
doing a day of searching.

372
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,280
When I signed up,
I applied to join the Royal Engineers.

373
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:25,520
I ended up being
a plant operator mechanic.

374
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,760
Did two tours of Iraq
and half a tour of Afghanistan.

375
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,120
There, just the other side
of that picture,

376
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,280
is where the IED was that blew me up.

377
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,760
I saw the photo and thought, "Put it up."

378
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,200
It's a reminder, I guess.

379
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,160
I lost both my legs.

380
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,480
Injuries to my back.

381
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,880
The blast went into my forearm.

382
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,920
My wrist got pins in.

383
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,000
So I was in hospital, I think,
for about two and a half months.

384
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,120
And then doing rehab, getting prosthetics,

385
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,880
generally about four weeks on,
four weeks off.

386
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,280
And I was there
for the next two and a half years.

387
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,840
I kind of treat it as a past life,

388
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,720
and this is just
the memory of that past life.

389
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,600
My new life started.
Nothing to do with the military anymore.

390
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Generally, day-to-day,
I take my son to school.

391
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,880
-[son] Bye!
-Go now.

392
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,360
Pick him up from school.
Make dinner in the evening.

393
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:35,040
Seeing my life every day,
I don't see growth.

394
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,320
Pottering around, doing nothing.

395
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,560
After I got blown up, I just…
drinking a lot, going out a lot.

396
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,360
Not in the best space.

397
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:53,760
And my wife Tania said,
"Listen, something needs to change."

398
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,440
[indistinct chatter]

399
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,320
[sports equipment clattering]

400
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,040
[coach] Hurry up, guys. Ready.

401
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:08,320
[blows whistle]

402
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,520
[spectator] Go! Go! Go!

403
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,520
[coach] Close him down,
close him down, close him down.

404
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,440
-[blows whistle]
-[player] Pass, pass, pass!

405
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,280
[coach] Go with Tom.
Talk to each other. Come on.

406
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,080
Yes!

407
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,800
[player clamoring]

408
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,120
[coach] Come on. Concentrate. Concentrate.

409
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,000
[players groan]

410
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,240
[coach] Listen up.

411
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,840
You have to stop driving like this
and start driving like this.

412
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,760
If you had said nothing
and gone in and blocked that corner off,

413
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,040
then it would have been a nice, easy goal.

414
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:47,640
[blows whistle]

415
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,720
[player 2] Tom!

416
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,920
[player 3] Go right!

417
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,840
[Jenkins] Nice pick.
Backwards, both hands.

418
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,440
[players clamoring]

419
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,200
[Jenkins] Stop, lads. Nice work, guys.

420
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,680
[Folwell] Physical is easy.
The amount of stuff I've done,

421
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,200
chopping trees down, climbing oil tanks…

422
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,120
But mentally, I… I don't…

423
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,080
I don't know how to talk
in front of people, to people.

424
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,680
I can't stand up in front of a crowd
and speak to them.

425
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,560
I tend to isolate myself.

426
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,320
So when Jenks the coach
asked me to be team captain,

427
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,880
I didn't have a clue
why anyone would consider me,

428
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,760
let alone want me to be.

429
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,520
I've never been in a leadership role
in my life, for anything.

430
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,480
It's a bit rusty.
It'll come with the more sessions we get.

431
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,640
[Jenkins] Lots of people have self-doubt.

432
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,720
Uh, perhaps he's just needed
that somebody gives them the push

433
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,120
to bring that out of them.

434
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,200
Tom's journey, I don't know.
I named him as a captain,

435
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,760
and hopefully it's been the right choice.

436
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,680
Let's see what he's like
when he's under fire, as they say.

437
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,920
That'll be another story. [chuckles]

438
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,920
We've taken too long to put the press on.

439
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,800
In the meantime, you've ended up with
one person on top and that's no good.

440
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:09,400
I don't see how the way I think
will allow me to do

441
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,280
a team talk in a final.

442
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:14,960
But until I'm in that position,
I don't know what'll come out.

443
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,680
When you're double-teaming,
it's one back, one front.

444
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,600
And the other people
have to work their butts off.

445
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,120
My wife, Tania, said, "Just do it.
What's the worst that can happen?"

446
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,640
"You can say in a few months,
'I don't want to be captain anymore.'"

447
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:31,680
And then from that, the basketball team,

448
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,600
unfortunately, our captain pulled out
for personal reasons during Covid.

449
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,960
And the basketball coach asked me to be
captain of the basketball team as well.

450
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,240
So clearly someone sees something in me.

451
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,640
Just not me.

452
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:49,720
[birdsong]

453
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,800
[vehicle beeping]

454
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,200
[man] We're in a different position
going into The Hague than ever before.

455
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,360
But it has been slow-going,
because the pandemic continues to linger.

456
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,600
[jackhammering]

457
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,600
[Prince Harry] If some competing nations,

458
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,760
if some competitors
end up getting Covid last-minute,

459
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,240
can we make sure they have a subs bench
that they can fill those places,

460
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,160
to ensure we remain
as close to 500 as possible,

461
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,160
so most of those team events
can still take place?

462
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,120
The journey to the games
has been challenging.

463
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,000
We're constantly
trying to grow the community.

464
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,360
And now in The Hague,
we will have 20 nations.

465
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,360
But for a lot of these countries,
there are thousands of applicants

466
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,320
for a team of between 30 and 80 places.

467
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,400
[lively, thoughtful music playing]

468
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,280
[Prince Harry] From 2014,

469
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,280
the core countries
that were part of Invictus

470
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:59,360
had the biggest number of combat injuries.

471
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,560
And as time goes on,
those conflicts, luckily, have reduced.

472
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,560
Therefore, we're trying
to shrink some of the teams

473
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,440
and provide opportunities
for other countries to join.

474
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,720
Not everyone agrees
on what qualifies as a just war,

475
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,840
but I think we would all agree on
the damage that war causes to so many.

476
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,960
The games doesn't focus on
what causes the injury,

477
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,640
but about the recovery from that injury

478
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,520
and how to be part of a community again.

479
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:31,400
[indistinct chatter]

480
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,320
[man 1 in Korean]
Thank you for taking time out

481
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,400
to attend this 2022 Invictus Games
orientation meeting.

482
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:46,080
This is the first time
that Korea will participate,

483
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,440
so be careful of your behavior.

484
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:05,280
[man 2] In Korean society,
disabled people don't come out in public.

485
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:10,480
They live their lives inside.

486
00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,600
They hide themselves away.

487
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,760
Keep going!

488
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,920
[frenetic electronic music pulsing]

489
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,480
[Na] So when disabled people do come out,

490
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,280
non-disabled people are…

491
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:30,720
fascinated?

492
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,160
You can see it on their faces immediately.

493
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,360
My current cycling coaches are surprised

494
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,560
when they watch our competitions.

495
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,200
They say, "How can disabled people
be this good?"

496
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,680
[coach] More on the hamstrings! More!

497
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,000
[Na] Our society thinks
that disability is "wrong,"

498
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,720
but it's not "wrong,"
it's just "different."

499
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,720
[Na panting]

500
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,800
[coach] Ten more seconds!

501
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,840
Five, four, three, two, one, stop.

502
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:05,920
[Na pants]

503
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,120
[Na] I don't think society
has changed much yet,

504
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,560
but it needs to change now…

505
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,280
starting with me.

506
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:19,720
Hello.

507
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,480
One apple juice, please?

508
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,600
[vendor] With ice?

509
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,640
[Na] Yes.

510
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,720
[vendor] What happened to your hands?

511
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,840
[Na] I injured them in the military.

512
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,760
[vendor] I didn't realize
you injured them!

513
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,240
Let me pay for this one…

514
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,320
[Na] Oh no, I'm fine…

515
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,840
I can carry it.

516
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,760
If you put it down I can…

517
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,760
Thank you.

518
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,880
[vendor] Enjoy!

519
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:42,960
[Na] Thank you.

520
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,960
My dream was to become

521
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,480
either a soldier or a policeman
in order to protect the country.

522
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,440
In the army, I was electrocuted,

523
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,120
but I have no memory of the incident.

524
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,640
The doctors said it would be better
to amputate my hands.

525
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,000
[somber, emotional music playing]

526
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,800
At that time,
I wasn't thinking too clearly.

527
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:18,120
My future wife was the first person
to visit me in hospital.

528
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,160
[woman] He was such a fearless character.

529
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,920
So it hurt to see him lose his wings.

530
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,360
I stayed beside him
to encourage and comfort him,

531
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,920
then we dated for six years
before getting married.

532
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,200
[Na] Meeting my wife
was the best thing that happened to me.

533
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,600
I think the second thing
was starting sports.

534
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:53,200
When people look at disabled people,

535
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,520
they look with sympathy, regret or sorrow.

536
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,800
So I'm participating in these games

537
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,520
and I want everyone to watch us,

538
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,120
not only with pity,

539
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,040
but to see all the things
less-abled bodies can do.

540
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,400
I hope that people
will give us a fighting spirit!

-[child] Hi.

545
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,280
-School.
-You're at school still?

546
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:37,320
Love you!

547
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,040
Oh, you can't say it back now? Bye!

548
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,040
-I did say, "I love you too."
-I didn't hear it. Nope. Okay.

549
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,520
Love you more. Bye.

550
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,480
Bye.

I'm a medically retired
Navy hospital corpsman.

557
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,440
April 1st, 2008. April Fool's Day.

558
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,280
I remember I had bought a new
motorcycle jacket, a leather one.

559
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,440
I got four miles down the road,
a major highway.

560
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,880
They say a guy made a U-turn at a light
and didn't see me.

561
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,080
And I collided with him.
I woke up three weeks later.

562
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,440
It took 12 years
before we got to the point of amputation.

563
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,600
I made a pact with my arm. I told it,

564
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,560
"If you don't get better,
I'll cut you off."

565
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,080
Little did I know, from that day,
I'd be in pain the rest of my life.

566
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,120
You ready to eat, boo?

567
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,760
-This better be good.
-Yes, pretty lady.

568
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,640
I don't cook without love.

00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,120
-How come Mama makes better potatoes?
-What?

570
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,120
Mama's potatoes are way better.

571
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,200
Excuse me. Oh, sorry.

572
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,320
Let me help you out with that.

573
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,960
-I'm good. I got it. Thank you.
-No, I got it.

Tameah. That's my lovely,
amazing daughter.

She's my great inspiration
to keep me going.

[grunting]

586
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,120
[George] I live at a pain level
of about a seven out of ten.

587
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,760
It fires up to ten and beyond,
but I've learned not to say that too much.

588
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,560
If you tell somebody you're at ten,
they put you in the ER and lock you up.

589
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,000
My doctors have told me…
They described it as a labor pain.

590
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,200
You're in labor over and over,
and you're never gonna deliver this baby.

Good night. I love you.

Let's go.

595
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,040
I move around a lot. I'm doing a lot.
Mostly because of the pain.

596
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,800
It keeps my mind off it.
Keeps my body moving.

Welcome to pickleball.
I'm a retired Navy corpsman.

that's when I can focus better.

Oh, that's just… Uh-uh, don't do that!

601

And it's… it's a journey.

I started hearing about
the Invictus Games.

I'm like, "This is something I can do."

612

It reminds you,
"Oh, you're not alone with this."

I hope this will help me.

614
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,480
But in my life, my experiences,

615
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,960
hope has led me
down a lot of the wrong paths.

616
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:20,960
Either way,
I need to think about the future.

take care of myself a little more.

The pain is something I've accepted
I'm gonna have to deal with for my life.

It's a very small amount
for an enormous impact.
