This episode contains references to suicidal ideation.

There's also some strong language.

And a quick note about our scenes.

Some fictionalized scripted dialogue has been added for dramatic and narrative cohesiveness.

Thank you. been added for dramatic and narrative cohesiveness. It's May 2005 in Berkshire, England. It's 5 in the morning, and Harry is trying to chug his

weight in lukewarm water. He can smell the funk of the old bottle as the stream of water runs down his throat.

His stomach lurches. But even as he wills himself not to throw up, he's delighted. He wouldn't

want to be doing anything else. When he's done, it's time for his first run of the day.

Wow, that's so cool. Is he in the pits of hell? Uh, in my mind?

Yeah.

But in actuality, Harry's at the Royal British Army boot camp, where he's been training

his ass off for weeks.

But to him, it feels like vacation.

There are no paparazzi stalking him and no shifty palace eyes watching.

There aren't any weird family dynamics being played out in the tabloids. Here, things are simple. Wake up, hydrate,

nearly vomit, run it off, and then climb ropes or walls or wrestle or run some more.

Repeat until unconscious. Harry loves a physical challenge, so all of this just helps

him feel focused. When he looks toward the future and his military career, it looks bright. It makes

him feel excited. He feels like he's working towards something big and actually doing something well.

And boot camp isn't just about physical exertion.
