00:19We're making history!
00:21I've put these guys through hell.
00:24There was a lot of very physical training.
00:27I got my ass kicked.
00:30You can prep and prep and prep and prep,
00:33but you've still got to kind of throw that away.
00:35We wouldn't need a wire, I can take that.
00:37Do it!
00:39And also, like, whatever genius idea Ridley's gonna throw at you.
00:43I discovered that Paul's very fast, and he's very cool with a sword.
00:48It's crazy, right?
00:50I've had some training with swords before, but not like this.
00:54Surprised the hell out of me, because he can be really violent.
00:58The attack's fucking perfect.
01:01Ridley has an extraordinary team.
01:05They're absolutely committed.
01:08Pedro and Paul got beat up by the best.
01:12I'm incredibly proud of the finished product.
