Original subtitles

(HEAVY BREATHING)

(TENSE SOUNDTRACK)

NARRATOR: Selection for the SAS...

..is a test like no other.

MAN: I don't care if they're celebrities in their world.

They've chosen to enter our world.

They are not going to know what's hit them.

(HELICOPTER ROTOR)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

NARRATOR: 17 celebrity recruits...

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

..have volunteered to put their glamorous lives behind.

MAN: You having a nice time?

It's going to be hard not to have my Instagram.

It's like oxygen for me.

MAN: SAS selection is designed to break the most elite soldier.

NARRATOR: They're put through

the most gruelling stages of selection...

Are you OK? Yes, sir!

..by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers.

(SCREAMS)

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

NARRATOR: Chief Instructor, Ant Middleton.

ANT: I spent 12 years in the military.

Four years in the Special Forces.

I've saved lives and I've taken lives.

..and his team of directing staff...

I've been in counterterrorism.

(GUNFIRE) ..hostage rescues.

I've been decorated by Her Majesty, The Queen.

..will make no exceptions.

Not many people make the grade.

Head up!

There's no winner.

You have what it takes or not.

Go!

Brake, brake, brake, brake!

I can't make any excuses.

Fucking zip it and listen for a minute.

ANT: We're going to find out who they really are.

(WHIMPERING)

NARRATOR: No other test asks as much...

ANT: You're all going to suffer.

..or means as much...

Stop being selfish.

It's pathetic.

..to the few who make it through.

NARRATOR: These famous and infamous Australians

have signed up for the Special Forces selection course.

A brutal process that will physically and mentally break them down.

Only those with mental strength, courage and pure grit will pass.

ANT: For us, this isn't a TV show. This is real.

This isn't some kind of army boot camp.

Come on, let's move! Get out!

Put your hands on the side.

Put your head down.

ANT: The course will reveal every flaw...

Come on! ..every weakness, every insecurity.

Stand by to move!

This is not a game.

Do not break that chain.

Just keep your hands on their shoulders

and just shuffle forward.

Keep shuffling.

MAN: I don't care about anything that they've done before.

What an amazing life they've got.

Keep your hands together out in front of you.

I'd like to think that the celebrities find out

that there's more to life

than being fake.

Don't fucking smile at me.

People would best know me

as a serial entrepreneur with five businesses.

Failure, in my mind, has never been an option.

NICK: I've had a lot of media attention.

I think this selection course will give me a chance

to show more of the real me

because you can't hide and it's not fake.

Don't look at me. Look over here.

You look like you've seen a ghost.

CANDICE: I'm doing this course to challenge myself.

Look that way.

But also for my daughters to look up on TV and see their mum

and kiss the screen

like they kiss the screen when Daddy's playing cricket.

ERIN: The Australian public knows who I am

from being Miss Universe Australia.

If there's one thing I want to learn from doing this course

it's how to fail and get back up and keep going.

SHAYNA: I am an Australian swim team member.

I was actually accused of taking drugs but I know I'm not a cheat.

Look that way.

This course allows me to prove to the world

that I do work hard and I don't take shortcuts.

If I asked you to describe a Special Forces soldier,

you'd probably - an image in your mind:

Six foot six, three foot across,

V-shaped. It's absolutely not.

These celebrities, they look good,

but what they really are is sculpted polystyrene.

Look up.

That way. Look over my shoulder.

They've got no depth.

We're looking for somebody who's a thinker, a doer.

Might not be the fastest, might not be the fittest.

But it's that person who will give you the hundred percent...

Look that way.

..and that stands out within the first hours of meeting people.

That way.

If you're over 15 years old

and you say that you've never heard the name Schapelle Corby,

um, bullshit.

Turn around.

Watch, observe, pay attention.

(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)

ANT: The SAS is an elite Tier 1 unit

that conducts operations behind enemy lines.

SAS selection is a course designed to break the most elite soldier.

95% of soldiers fail the course.

It's not for the faint-hearted.

It scares even the most elite of soldiers.

You fucking pin your ears back and listen in.

I am your chief instructor on this course.

This first task is about each and every one of your characters.

Can you divulge the information that we give you

and execute what needs to be done?

If you get this wrong,

the first breath of air you're going to take

is not going to be air, it's going to be water.

Do not panic.

I do not want to be jumping off that helicopter into the water,

dragging your arse and pumping water out of your lungs.

This isn't a game.

No fucking around, no joking around.

It starts right now.

(HELICOPTER ROTOR SPINNING UP)

NARRATOR: First to face the extreme eight metre

backwards fall is ironwoman, Candice Warner.

CANDICE: I've always been a very competitive person

but since having kids,

I haven't pushed myself to the limits that I used to.

NARRATOR: 150 metres from shore with near freezing ice water,

the task is terrifying for any recruit.

CANDICE: To put myself through the absolute limit,

to test myself physically and mentally

is what excites me the most.

Let go. Let go.

Put that across here.

That hand across.

Look forward. Stand by.

Go!

RECRUITS: Ooh!

ERIN: (CLAPPING) Yes, girl.

FOXY: Alright, stop clapping. She can't fucking hear you.

NARRATOR: Next to take the leap

is socialite and public relations entrepreneur, Roxy Jacenko.

I've always had the mindset

of take every opportunity that comes your way.

That was one of the reasons that I wanted to do this.

Because it's extreme

and it's not what people expect or anticipate that I'd even do.

SCHAPELLE: Oh, she's high.

Do not move!

ROXY: I don't actually think I've had a failure.

I honestly can say that.

I think I've put everything in place

so that I'm not in a position where failure occurs.

Stand by!

Go!

RECRUITS: Ooh!

Let's go.

SHANNAN: Good girl. EDEN: Go, Roxy.

FOXY: Come on then! Let's fucking move it!

NARRATOR: Former Bachelorette, Ali Oetjen...

Do your seatbelt back up.

..is next to fall.

Start fucking switching on! Let's go!

ALI: I'm doing this because I want to prove

that I'm more than just the reality TV star girl.

Other arm across.

ALI: I am really tough and I am really strong

and I think everyone doesn't think the pretty blonde girl can do it.

Go! (SCREAMS)

RECRUITS: Ooh!

Not bad, not bad.

ANT: The backwards dive is horrendous.

Falling backwards is unnatural, let alone out of a helicopter.

Go!

ANT: We want to overload your senses...

Oh, my goodness!

He did a backflip.

..give you a quick set of orders...

Go!

..for you to process...

Go!

..and execute.

Far out.

That's it.

Stand by!

JAMES: People have called me 'the missile'

and fastest man in the world

but dealing with what I thought was the ultimate failure in my life

of not winning the Olympic Games,

I was certainly very embarrassed

and now I am the retired swimmer,

and I guess I'm in a phase now

where I'm looking for a new sense of identity...

Stay rigid!

..and a new set of goals to work towards.

Go!

(RECRUITS GASP)

Oh, shit.

As an actor, we're spoiled.

We get the trailer and the make-up and wardrobe

and the catered lunch and the foot massages.

Stand on the second one!

FIRASS: But with this, it's a whole different ballgame.

Stand by!

Whoo!

Go!

RECRUITS: Oh!

Wanker!

Fucking looked like he'd been shot.

NARRATOR: Honey Badger Nick Cummins is next.

NICK: I'm doing this selection course to build resilience.

I think life is going to throw a whole lot of challenges

and I would like to bullet-proof myself for that.

Go!

(GASPS)

That's not how you do it.

Come on!

NARRATOR: Last to face the backwards fall

is notorious convicted drug smuggler, Schapelle Corby.

I think the public sees me

as an attention-seeking girl.

They think I'm out for money, they think I'm out for celebrity,

they think I'm out for everything that's completely opposite to me.

So, why am I here?

I want to find out who I am under all the years of suppression.

Prison's going to stay with me for the rest of my life.

But I also am not there anymore.

So, it's time to create a new life for myself.

Do not fuck this up!

Stand by!

Go!

Not bad.

OLLIE: Get changed quick as you can!

NARRATOR: Dressing into their uniforms,

there are no comforts or modesty.

FOXY: There's no make-up. Fuck all like that. Hurry up.

NARRATOR: The process of breaking down the recruits is underway.

ANT: There will be no directors to say, "Cut."

There will be no lattes,

there will be no Winnebagos to go to.

They do what we tell them to do

when we tell them to do it.

If not, they can fuck off.

Get on your bellies and start crawling.

Come on, crawl!

Get your arses down! Bullets flying!

Get your arse down!

Go, go!

NARRATOR: The selection course is a relentless process

of breaking down the recruits

through physical drills and punishments.

Keep it going!

NARRATOR: The aim is to find the ultimate soldier

that can be pushed beyond their limits.

OK. Next method of movement's seal crawl.

Drag your legs along. Let's go.

Like a sea lion.

NARRATOR: After a brutal backwards dive...

..the instructors are unimpressed by Roxy...

..who is already struggling to keep up.

Are you in pain?

This wasn't a move I've had to do.

Hey?

I haven't had to do a move like this. It's...

Well, what did you think you were going to do

on a military style course?

BILLY: Keep going!

Carry on!

OLLIE: This course is about pushing boundaries.

It's about being able to embrace short-term discomfort

for long-term gain.

You are pathetic. Move yourself.

Yeah. Yeah.

Fucking move yourself.

Don't let a fucking bloke be in front of you.

Get past us!

Cross your legs! Seal crawl.

What are you? A demented seal? Get off your knees.

FOXY: Hurry the fuck up!

If you were getting shot at, you'd get on your belt buckles

'cause I tell you what, being cold and wet and muddy

is a lot better than getting your fucking head blown off.

MERRICK: All I've ever been is a clown.

But this is not a funny thing I'm doing

and that in itself is brave for me.

You having a nice time?

Because I'm not going on to be the funny guy.

Come on, hurry up!

MERRICK: What I'm going to do is put myself in a position

which I have never done before.

Go on then! Go on!

I'll go serious and I will show people the other side of me.

This is where we're starting to understand your true character

and it's not looking good.

Not looking good at all.

Come on then! Let's go!

OLLIE: War is not over just because you're tired.

NARRATOR: Heading back to the transport,

the recruits are cold, wet...

OLLIE: You've got to start putting some effort in!

..and suffering from exhaustion.

They now face a punishing uphill hike

carrying 20 kg in their military issue Bergen backpacks.

FOXY: Dig deep, find it within yourself to get to the end!

ANT: To be a Special Forces operator...

Come on!

..is not about the physical.

It's all about what's up here.

Go past me.

You fucking hate me. I can see it in your eyes.

Go past me then.

ANT: We're looking for someone that we can push

to the absolute limit.

Get your head up, look at me, get some balls about you right now.

ANT: But still has what it takes to go that little bit further.

Get some fucking lady balls about you.

Let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

Nearly all of them will not pass this course.

See that there? That's almost the finish.

Yeah. OK? Done.

ANT: I guarantee you...

Let's go.

..a lot of them will fall within the first couple of days.

NARRATOR: Coming up...

ANT: I can normally tell someone's character...

Get him!

..by the way they fight.

Stand and fight.

OLLIE: Punch her!

Stop!

All of you, get in that water. Now.

You're all going to suffer.

Why are you crying?

SCHAPELLE: Life in prison prepared me for this.

How come a court of law can prove you guilty

and then you're saying, "No, it wasn't me."?

NARRATOR: 17 Australian celebrities have chosen to take part

in the elite Special Forces selection course.

MOLLY: Home sweet home.

Love what they've done with the place. (LAUGHS)

OLLIE: Start a single line!

NARRATOR: For the next 14 days,

they will eat, sleep...

Follow on!

..and train at this remote compound.

ANT: Fucking state of them.

(LAUGHS)

ANT: Hurry up!

Keep the fucking noise down! I didn't say talk, did I?

Line up! What's hard about that?

Hats off.

Start switching on.

Realise where you are.

Let me formally introduce myself.

I am your chief instructor on this course.

Directly to my side and by my side is my directing staff.

You will address us as 'staff' at all times. Is that understood?

RECRUITS: Yes, staff. ANT: Is that understood?

RECRUITS: Yes, staff!

We have 75 years plus

of military experience under our belt,

conducting Tier 1 operations around the world.

Whilst you lot sleep under your fucking blankets of freedom.

We've taken life, we've saved life.

There's nothing glorious about it.

We are trained in a unique way to do a unique job.

202 people started my course.

Eight of us passed.

This is the closest thing that you're going to get

to Special Forces selection.

So, how you deal with that and how you take that on board

is up to you.

We don't give a fuck who you are, where you've come from

and what you do.

The slate is wiped clean here.

But remember, you will be cold, wet and miserable.

You will suffer and you will learn the hard way.

That is the only way that you can deal with and witness

what you see in a war zone.

Most of you will find out

who you truly are on this course.

I'm now going to call out your name.

You're going to be given a number.

You will be known as that number.

Jacenko!

Thank you. Fucking speed it up.

Warne!

Ponton!

Johnson!

Corby!

SCHAPELLE: Wearing a number, we're not a name.

I won't be the drug smuggler.

I will just be a human being trying to do the best I can.

ANT: You are all volunteers here.

Anytime you want to leave, you say two letters.

"VW."

You voluntarily withdraw yourself from this course.

You take your armband off

and you hand it to myself or one of the DS.

Is that understood? RECRUITS: Yes, staff.

There's no shame in quitting.

Because ultimately if you quit on the battlefield,

it's going to cost a life.

Right. Listen in to the DS.

Pick your Bergens up and follow me.

Quickly.

Come on then, hurry up!

You ain't got to run five metres.

This is your washbasins.

This is where you wash yourselves

and also your cutlery and your pots and pans from eating with. Happy?

These are the toilets.

Luxurious.

Right, if you look behind you now, so everyone turn around.

That's where we live.

That's the doc's room.

Not to be visited by anyone with blisters or a runny nose.

That's if your fucking leg's fallen off.

FOXY: They're not going to be waited on.

There's no creature comforts.

This is your accommodation.

It's to be kept clean at all times.

You've got two wood burners in here,

so there's no excuse for your kit not drying overnight.

FOXY: Their only comfort is their own mind.

But that might not be a comfort.

And believe me, don't think

that we've got any better luxury than you have 'cause we haven't.

Well, a little bit.

ERIN: I need to wee.

CANDICE: I'll come with you.

ROXY: I don't even, like...

Actually, I don't have words.

(LAUGHS)

You wouldn't want to have stage fright.

FOXY: I think I just won't go to the bathroom for 14 days.

This toilet roll looks like it's already been used.

(LAUGHS)

Life in prison, there is no privacy, there is no quietness.

You're sharing the one toilet.

In my house, we just shit in the sink, so this is good.

I slept on cement for a long time.

But that's what you have to live through and so be it.

That beach crawl was good, wasn't it? Who liked that?

Wasn't that nice?

(LAUGHS)

Sometimes I take my family to the beach.

But we never thought to do that.

Never. (SCHAPELLE LAUGHS)

"Get down, you maggots, on the ground in front of your mum."

(SCHAPELLE LAUGHS)

OLLIE: You have five minutes to get on the parade square!

NARRATOR: After only 15 minutes to rest and recuperate...

Form two straight lines.

OLLIE: Come on, move it!

Right, follow me.

..the recruits depart base,

starting a tireless march to the next task.

Keep walking, close up the gaps!

BILLY: Come on, stride it out. Use your arms.

NARRATOR: Number one, Roxy, is already showing her true colours,

falling far behind the group.

Right, get up here. Form up again, two files.

You are no use to nobody back there.

Come here!

Come here now.

ROXY: I've not had any weight on me at all.

BILLY: It's not a weight-bearing fucking task. It's a simple task.

I don't actually like failure.

Then fucking embrace it and get through it.

'Cause that's not what I'm seeing.

NARRATOR: As the gap begins to widen,

the furious DS brings the lead pack to a halt.

What's your problem? I can't...

Take the weight off. Take your Bergen off.

Put the Bergen down there.

Now, are you going to keep up now?

I don't have the answer but I've not had...

OK, well, we'll go... ..I've got pain when I do it.

We'll fucking see, won't we?

Let's go. Leave it?

Leave it there.

Go on then, you can keep up now. You haven't got any weight.

Stop fucking mincing at the rear!

BILLY: You haven't even done half a day.

You're just talking yourself out of it. You know that, don't you?

ANT: Come on, let's go.

Move.

NARRATOR: The recruits will now face

the ultimate test of character and bravery.

Rounds of vicious hand-to-hand combat.

ANT: Stand tall with your heads up.

You've just run onto an enemy location.

If they see the state of you,

they going to think, "Right, easy pickings here."

Grab your Bergens and make a nice circle and go back.

The biggest mistake that these celebrities can make

is thinking they know what's coming.

Right, listen in.

What we're going to do now is the closest thing to combat

that you will experience.

Apart from being shot at or shooting someone.

You will have two commands.

"Fight" and "Stop."

When you face off with your opponent,

there will be no fucking dancing around.

You will stand toe to toe

and you will punch a hole in your opponent's face.

If they hit the deck,

you will follow it up and you will punch them

until their fucking face is deep in this dirt.

If you find yourself on the deck, you fight your way to your feet.

It's all about character.

This is where I see what you're made of.

You two, go and glove up.

NARRATOR: First to fight are number 10,

comedian Merrick Watts,

and number 15, cricket legend Mitchell Johnson.

As a sportsman, I was quite aggressive on the field,

in-your-face, angry.

Bowling fast and knocking the stumps over,

you'd get that adrenaline rush.

But since retiring from cricket,

you sort of lose your purpose a little bit.

I guess I've been looking for a goal

and this course is definitely something

that I'm really excited about

and it's just a real test for me to see if I can cope.

When I say fight, you'll fight.

The only time you will stop

is when I give you the command to stop, is that understood?

Fight!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

BILLY: Come on, go for it!

Get in there, come on.

That's it! Lots of aggression.

Look at him, take him out!

Forget that it's boxing.

We are looking for how you react, how you deal with it.

Swing your arms! Get into him!

It will be uncomfortable, it will seem unfair.

'Cause you'll never have a fair fight in a war situation.

Don't fucking turn your back.

You've got to think on your feet.

Do I go at him like a lunatic?

Do I use a bit of tactics and try and get underneath him

or round him?

And you've only got a split second to make that decision.

Stop!

Fuck!

Get up.

Get up! (PUFFS)

Go and unglove, you two.

What are you crying for, number 16?

Fucking weakness that you're showing to the enemy right now.

Get a grip of yourself.

Why are you crying?

Why are you crying? Look at me.

Why are you crying? Simple question.

What's wrong? Are you scared? Are you nervous?

It's very aggressive.

Well, listen, what you are letting out right now,

that emotion, OK?

Harness that, let that out when you need to let it out.

Don't waste it here. Yes, staff.

Number 16, number 9, you two go and glove up.

NARRATOR: Having drawn attention to themselves,

number 9, Schapelle Corby,

and number 16, Ali Oetjen,

must now fight each other.

In jail, I've had three or four physical fights.

I don't like violence.

But sometimes, there's no other way...

to stop something from happening

until you put your fists up and fight.

Fight!

BILLY: Come on! Attack where you need to attack.

Let's go. That's it!

Go on, number 9, take her out!

Finish it! Come on!

Right, stop!

I'm a resilient person.

I have grit.

I am a survivor.

NARRATOR: In order to expose the recruits' true character,

Ant has a change of tactic.

Any volunteers?

Number 14, step out here.

Making a bold move,

AFLW player Sabrina Frederick steps up.

Want you to pick your enemy.

When a recruit chooses an opponent,

it tells us a lot about that individual.

If they've chosen someone that's smaller,

then that will tell us that they're scared of being hurt,

they're scared of...

being beaten.

Number 6.

Oh my God!

Number 6, come out here.

Why did she pick Badger?

In a show of strength, number 14, AFLW player Sabrina Frederick,

has chosen one of the biggest male recruits,

number 6, Nick Cummins.

I feel like my whole life is a constant fight.

I'm a black woman

in a same-sex relationship

working in a male-dominated sport.

I'm in this experience to prove that women can do this.

When I say fight, you will fight.

I know what women can do

and I've never had men beat me -

in my industry, anyway.

Fight!

ANT: Number 6, number 14, over to you.

NARRATOR: On the SAS selection course,

the recruits are being pitted against each other

in a brutal challenge that reveals both character and bravery.

(EXHALES)

Making a courageous statement, number 14,

AFLW player Sabrina Frederick,

has chosen to fight number 6, Nick Cummins.

Come up here.

When I say fight, you will fight.

When you hear the word 'stop', you stop.

Stand by.

Fight!

ONLOOKER: Oh, shit!

Oh my God!

Get into him!

Force him, get into him!

Go for it, go for it!

At first, number 14, Sabrina, is overpowered.

Stop!

Come back in.

Let's go, Sabrina, let's go.

No-one said speak!

Keep the fucking noise down back there.

Stand by. Fight!

Take his head off!

But determined to stand her ground,

Sabrina begins to fight back.

Good girl, well done. Get into him!

Stop!

Right, you two, go and unglove.

Move.

But with no injuries to speak of...

Are you alright? Yeah.

Well done.

..Sabrina has left a lasting impression on the DS.

Good effort. Yeah.

(PANTS)

I'm fine, it's alright. Yeah?

Right, stand by, fight.

BILLY: Get into her! Go for it!

Go for it!

I can normally tell someone's upbringing

by the way that they fight.

Fight.

I can tell who's had it hard,

who's had it easy, who's been sheltered in life.

Who's been left to do what they want to do in life.

Number 2, number 1, go and glove up.

Move.

Number 1, Roxy, has struggled since the course began.

Now it is her turn to fight.

She will face fellow recruit and long-time friend,

number 2, Candice Warner.

Stand by, fight.

Go. No boxing, just punch each other.

Punch!

Fight back, number 1. Punch her!

Fight back!

Stop!

Stand and fight.

There's way more to you than you are projecting right now,

I fucking know it.

Just stand and fight.

Stand by. Fight!

Throw your arms, number 1.

Number 1, get in there, come on!

Don't turn your back!

Turn round and fight! Face her, face her!

Stop!

Go and unglove.

That is pathetic.

What are you doing, number 11?

Don't turn your back on the fucking rank!

I tell you what, go and get in that water.

Move, now.

Move!

The DS demand discipline at all times.

Any deviation from this is not tolerated.

Now crawl back to me.

Get down and crawl back to me. Hey?

Hey?! Who the fuck are you heying?

Fucking little...

Now, crawl back to your position.

Crawl back to your position.

If you wanna fuck around and you think this is a joke...

then just give your numbers in now and fuck off, stop wasting our time.

Once you get back to your position, number 11,

stand still, do not break rank.

The small details are you moving and you fidgeting.

That is you giving away your position.

That is your whole team dead.

(TENSE MUSIC)

All of you, bar number 11,

go and get yourself wet.

See behind you?

Get in there and get in up to your necks.

You, number 11, turn around and watch them.

Number 11, Firass, has shown insolence

by disrespecting the DS,

who will now punish the whole group in freezing water.

All the way to your neck!

Stay in there! Let's go!

(SHIVERING AND MOANING)

Number 11, come here, stand here!

This is what happens when you have a fuckwit on your team.

I suggest you fucking get amongst him when you get in,

'cause you're gonna make this life harder for yourself,

you're all going to suffer.

What number are you? Get down, your neck.

I can't make it any clearer. A simple detail.

Refusing to get in the water,

number 1, Roxy, is about to drop a bombshell.

I can't do it.

Start thinking about why you're here.

If you don't wanna be here, if you think it's a game,

if you want to enhance your careers or whatever you wanna do,

you're on the wrong course.

I actually can't.

When I say stand up, go, grab your Bergens and line out.

Go, move!

My leg's killing me. I can't do it.

You're handing it in? Yeah.

Are you 100% sure? Yeah, I can't do it.

Why? It's fucking painful.

I don't wanna give up. You're in pain?

But you know what? I can't do it.

Move!

OK. Unfortunate.

Number 1.

Is it over for you? Yeah.

It's done? Are you sure? Yeah.

After only six hours...

Ollie, can you take her to the medic, please?

..number 1, Roxy,

has found the course too demanding and has voluntarily withdrawn.

What a disaster.

Well done, number 11.

You've broken one of your fucking fellow teammates.

Good effort.

(MUMBLES TEARFULLY)

I've always had the mindset of

take every opportunity that comes your way.

But people think that I can't,

or won't, or wouldn't expect it.

And that's been every single thing I've done.

You know, I started my business and everyone was like,

"Oh, as if that's going to work. She'll fail."

(CRIES)

But for me, it doesn't matter what everybody thinks,

doesn't matter if you get to day 12 or day 2,

the fact that I've actually taken the punt to do it,

with determination and grit no matter what -

that's enough for me.

SCHAPELLE: I've experienced interrogation before.

NEWSREADER: A devastated Schapelle Corby

has been found guilty by Indonesian judges.

You've been to prison.

Talk to me about that.

(DRAMATIC SLAM)

NARRATOR: Back on base, the celebrities try to recover

from a ruthless first day on the SAS selection course.

WOMAN: Schapelle, are you OK?

I'm good.

I'm surprised no-one's got broken noses.

That was pretty full-on, wasn't it?

It hurt my soul.

To watch. But you were fine. (LAUGHS)

I've done boxing lessons, a couple, but you know...

Yeah.

MAN: It's different to all that stuff.

That was just like a street fight.

After each task, the DS take the opportunity

to share insights and assess the recruits.

Day one.

World record.

Good...

bye.

With one celebrity having already quit,

the DS turn to the remaining recruits' progress.

Let's start with number 2, Candice.

From what I've seen, she's physically fit,

she's not necessarily suffering.

She's doing quite well.

Add some dry firewood.

I think she's actually probably the fittest at the moment

of the women.

Number 6.

He seemed like a decent guy.

He's here for the right reasons.

He seems keen, he's respectful.

He is at the front, as he should be.

He's an ox of a guy.

I'll tell you what is a concern, though, is the cold.

Out of all of them, he was shaking like a pissing dog.

(CHUCKLES)

So hopefully he can get a grip of that.

Number 11.

He's someone that will get you killed on the battlefield.

Because he does his own thing,

he cracks his own detail, he doesn't listen in.

He wants to be the centre of attention.

I mean, at the moment I hate the bloke,

but I know that I could probably like him quite a bit

if he could just, like, channel all that energy

into doing the good stuff that we're looking for.

Number 9.

Well, what can I say about number 9?

She digs out blind, not giving up.

She is pushing through as if she's gonna complete this course.

She will struggle physically though. Mm-hm.

100%.

But psychologically, she's strong, she's stubborn.

There's something...

She's got that mental resilience that we are looking for.

Her mindset is a unique

and I'm just hoping that she can keep it in check.

Did you do boxing before?

Yeah, I fight.

What? I fight.

I thought you were a swimmer. No.

I'm the host from 'The Biggest Loser',

that's what my claim to fame is.

With...

Michelle and Commando. Yes!

Oh, hello! Yeah.

So, that's what I did, mate. Ohh.

I don't know if you were here for much of that.

I think it was probably most of the time when you were away.

Yeah, no, I saw photos in magazines. Yeah.

Do you think we have any more exercises to...

Nah, don't even ask.

NARRATOR: Having been impressed with her mental resilience,

the DS want to know more about recruit number 9, Schapelle Corby.

BILLY: Number 9!

That's me. Bye, guys!

Tactical questioning is basically to see

if someone has integrity,

to see if they are willing to open up.

Come on, hurry up.

And let us know that they're not perfect.

To do that, we are taking them out of their comfort zone.

We are pushing on your weaknesses.

And we are seeing how you react to that.

Stand here.

Face that way.

And if you do not comply,

we will make your life very unpleasant.

The reason why we hood them

is to let them know that we are in complete control.

Put your hands out in front of you.

Together.

Follow me.

Walk, walk.

It is a way of us taking away all of your senses.

Just walk.

And that's when I start digging.

Find out who they are.

Keep going. Two. Come on, step.

Step.

I've experienced interrogation before.

And I hated it. Absolutely hated it.

Being a female and having two or three men standing over you,

you're so scared, you don't know what the hell's gonna happen.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

You've got a fair bit of resilience, I'd say.

Where have you found your resilience?

Uh...

Along the way.

Where is 'along the way'?

Well, the major one is, um...

Sorry.

NEWSREADER: A devastated Schapelle Corby

has been found guilty by Indonesian judges

of smuggling marijuana into Bali.

This one?

Yeah.

Your name is fucking everywhere.

Everywhere!

Yeah.

Don't even have to type in your second name.

There's not many Schapelles in the world.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Take me back to the moment that you thought

that this was a good idea.

NEWSREADER: A devastated Schapelle Corby

has been found guilty of smuggling marijuana into Bali.

ANT: Take me back to the moment that you thought

that this was a good idea.

I didn't.

What happened?

I went to Bali for a holiday.

And then in Bali airport,

I picked up my boogie board and the handle had been cut.

What was found in your boogie board?

Marijuana.

4.2kg.

It looked like a pillow.

And you didn't know about this?

You didn't know someone had cut your boogie board up?

Is that what you're trying to say?

That's correct.

And you spent how many years in prison?

Ten.

And then three years on parole.

How come a court of law can prove you guilty...

and then you're saying, "No, it wasn't me"?

It just magically turned up in your boogie board

and you're like, "Don't know how that happened"?

Listen, I don't know who you are, I've literally just looked you up.

And you know what?

I don't give a fuck that you've been to prison.

That doesn't bother me.

It's not really of interest to me. You've done your time.

But what really did interest me is your experience in jail.

I suffered.

I started to have mental illness from that in 2008.

And I lived in psychosis for four years.

Talk to me about that four years.

I may cry a lot. I'm not fully recovered from it.

So, first of all, um...

my dad died in January 2008.

I went to jail in 2004.

He used to come and visit me a lot.

I didn't...

I didn't think that he would die and I didn't...

um...

understand that would be the last time that I would see him.

The same year, we had been appealing and appealing and appealing

and then my final appeal came back denied,

so it was those things that I just couldn't...

I couldn't get my head around them.

And so...

um...

mid 2000 and...

8, I started...

losing my mind.

When you say you started losing your mind,

you started just...

Hallucinating. Hallucinating and...

I couldn't eat.

I don't eat meat anymore because...

my hallucinations were so vivid that

I thought I was eating my dad's human flesh.

Flesh.

Yes.

So I'd see visions, I'd hallucinate

and I wasn't able to read.

Reading really was my saviour before my illness

'cause I'd just block everything out and just read.

And...

I couldn't read anymore and I couldn't handle it.

The only way my body could handle it was to hallucinate.

Well, you seem pretty headstrong.

That's one of the things that stood out today about you.

And that's why we asked you at the beginning

where do you get your mental resilience from?

We could see from the outset there's something about you.

Your determination and grit is a better and bigger weapon

than having big muscles and being at the front.

Because I tell you what, those big muscles and being at the front

aren't gonna be there forever,

but your grit and determination will be,

and you need to remember that.

The moment you keep that in check, which I know you can do,

then there's not much that will faze you

because of what you've been through.

You have that mental resilience that will see you through life.

Guard!

I think my biggest achievement today

is still being alive.

I am a survivor.

Keep walking, keep walking, keep walking.

That building, those walls, those visions,

those mental illness hallucinations -

they were yesterday,

but they are still hovering in my everyday.

I need help to move on from them,

to live now and see what I'm capable of in the future.
