Episodes
1. The First 24 Hours
Very few police officers access the elite corps of the Spanish National Police. One hundred of them have passed the pre-entry tests for the G.E.O. course, one of the most demanding training courses in the world. In this first episode, the coexistence phase begins at the G.E.O. training camp in Trillo (Guadalajara), where the candidates will experience a frenetic and demoralizing first 24 hours.
2. Who Are You Really?
The training continues in Trillo. The Tagus continues its relentless selection as the instructors try to get to the core of the trainees, to discover their weaknesses, their strengths, to confront them with their physical and psychological barriers.
3. Basic Training
Only a month has passed and the physical injuries are starting to take their toll, there are many weeks to go and the fear of having to give up is ever present. In this episode, we get to know more about the candidates and the instructors, their dreams, their motivations and the sacrifices they are willing to make to be part of the G.E.O.
