NARRATOR: Selection for the SAS
is a test like no other.

You can't prepare yourself
for selection.

The mindset you must adapt
is that of success.

The moment
failure enters your head...

..that is enough to take you out.

JAY: Go! Move!
STAFF: Try harder!

ANT: I'm sick of your (BLEEP)
bullshit excuses!

(TEARFULLY)
I know. Sorry.

A new group of celebrity recruits...

STAFF: Block out the pain
and stop (BLEEP) whinging.

ABBEY: Oh, my god.

..have volunteered...
JAY: Go!

..to leave their comfortable lives
behind.

There ain't ever been
no one like me...

ANT: Fight!
..in the history of sport

in the world, ever.
(ANTHONY GRUNTS)

Dangling like a spare prick.

Give me a (BLEEP) ring,
and we'll see.

They'll be trained...
Two, what's happening?

CRAIG: We're under attack.
Give me a read out!

..to survive the impossible.

Let's go!

Everything you've got!

Chief instructor Ant Middleton
and his team of directing staff

will make no exceptions.

The enemy are here! Get down!

Make a decision!

Make a decision!
We need to go!

Tonight...
Jab, jab.

No, step into it.
Ready?

Yeah.

Am I doing OK?

You're doing alright.

(ZIMA EXCLAIMS)

The recruits fight
in urban warfare...

(GUNFIRE)

STAFF: He doesn't know
where the (BLEEP) you are right now!

Where the (BLEEP) is he going?

..but struggle to make it out.

No, stop!
(GUNFIRE)

You're (BLEEP) dead!

And you're the cause of it!

And, in the ultimate test of trust...

Are you ready for
the (BLEEP) responsibility

of Number Four's life?
Yes, Staff.

..a critical error and a deadly drop.

Standby. Arms out!

Go! Arms out!

(ABBEY CRIES OUT)
Arms out!

JAY: (BLEEP) brake!

Brake, brake, brake!
(ABBEY SCREAMS)

(MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC)

(COUGHS)

It's day five...

..and the halfway mark...

..of the unrelenting
SAS selection course.

Of the 14 who started,
nine exhausted recruits remain.

MATTHEW: I'm gonna stand over here
by the fire.

Yeah, it's (BLEEP) cold.

CRAIG M: How'd you sleep, Tim?

Man, I actually slept OK.

Did ya?
Yeah.

I heard you didn't sleep much
at all.

No, I didn't sleep a wink, really.

Yeah. Were you anticipating...

Yes, I was dressed,

and I was lightning-ready to fight.

ABBEY: Porridge and eggs, everyone.

I still sometimes look at you,
and I find it so weird

because our dynamic at 'Neighbours'
was the same,

but it's like...

It's just so crazy that we're there
then here,

and the difference between it
is insane.

'Neighbours' actors, Zima and Tim...

..reminisce about life on set.

Did you do many acting courses,
classes?

Yeah.

I saw a psychic...

..and he said,
"You're gonna be acting."

(ZIMA GASPS)
And from there...

Really?
And I was like,

well, holy shit, I better learn
how to act properly then.

So then, the audition
for 'Neighbours' came through,

and I put it down,
and then got a call back,

and then that kind of...

Then Pierce Grayson came to life.

Then the psychic was right,

and I was working full-time
as an actor,

which was kind of weird.

Tim did really well.

I really think there's
so many people in the industry

that judge people
that have come from,

let's say, reality shows and stuff,

there's such a stigma.

Yeah, because they feel like
they haven't done their time.

You could feel that when...
I mean, everyone was nice.

There was a little bit of that
when you went in.

Mm.

But it was then,
just had to prove everyone wrong

and pick up my...
Which you did.

..skills today.

You did so well.

As the hot desert sun rises...

Ready? Watch my punch. Ready?

..Zima pivots from acting...

Mate, she's not bad
through the hips too.

..to boxing,

showing three-time world champ,
Anthony 'The Man' Mundine the skills.

One, two.

Hard on the sand without shoes.

See, that's mad you turn it over.
MAHALIA: Yeah.

So see when I...
I jab, jab, and I step into it.

Jab.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jab, jab.

Now jump in

'cause you'll bring your weight
if you land that right in.

Can I try?
It's a good line.

Ready?

Oh, I missed.

Big swing though.
(LAUGHTER)

Am I doing OK?

(ZIMA EXCLAIMS)
Beast.

What a beast.
Beast.

You're a pocket rocket.

She's literally a pocket rocket.

(MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC)

Transporting the recruits

to their first gruelling task
of the day...

..they'll soon be faced
with a mission

requiring courage, focus,
and complete trust in one another.

(PRAYER CALL)

In the special forces,

trust is what we operate off
24/7.

Out on the battlefield,

when chaos
is kicking off around you,

bullets flying over your heads,
bombs going off...

..you have to give your trust
to somebody,

somebody has to give their trust
to you.

STAFF: Get out, let's move.

Hurry up.

If you don't, then...

..you're gonna be dead.

Trust is earned.

You look to your left
and to your right,

and your (BLEEP) world
is collapsing.

The people that are still
standing with you,

and this is true to life...

..are people that you can trust.

Everything that you've been taught
up till now,

everything comes into play now.

Communication and trust is key here.

And listen in very carefully
to the detail.

We've all (BLEEP) deployed
on countless tier-one operations,

and we've utilised drone technology

in every single one
of those missions.

Any (BLEEP) area of operations,

drones in modern-day warfare
are employed.

They're our (BLEEP) eyes in the sky.

In an urban warfare scenario...

..in this abandoned desert outpost...

..the recruits
will be split into pairs.

(RADIO BEEPS)

One, a drone operator
as the eyes in the sky.

The other, a single-armed soldier.

Using clear communication,
they're to work together...

..navigating a path
through the streets...

..determining which are civilians
and which are the enemy.

(GUNFIRE)

And make it to the safety
of the extraction vehicle...

..parked in front
for a quicker getaway.

If communication
between either recruits breaks down,

they both fail.

Identify absolutely everything.

Someone's (BLEEP) walking,
are they carrying a weapon?

Or is it civilian population?

You (BLEEP) open up fire,

and you've killed
a (BLEEP) civilian,

guess what?

You're in a (BLEEP) court of law.

If I'm the (BLEEP) boots
on the ground,

I should be able to close my eyes

and (BLEEP) go off

that communication
that's given to me.

That's how serious,
and that's how real it is.

Big, big responsibility,
huge responsibility.

When I say go,
you will disappear into this area.

Go, follow me. Let's go.

OLLIE: Nine and six.

International rugby star,
Mahalia Murphy

and actor, Craig McLachlan
start the task.

Come here.
In an emergency,

I seem to be able to make decisions
fairly quickly

to stabilise a situation.

Who's the drone operator?

Me, Staff.

Right, communication
absolutely key here.

You are

the operator on the ground's eyes.

Understood.
OK?

I hope I can call upon...

..that sense of calm focus
if required.

Right, let's go.

Right, let's go. Move.

Head down, head down,
head down, head down.

Head down, low, low, low, low.

For the operator on the ground,
they're literally flying blind.

Stay down.

They must trust every word...

..that is coming out
of their teammate's mouth.

Chief instructor Ant

will judge the drone operator's
performance...

Safety catch is applied.
Take charge of the weapon.

..while DS Staz,

a highly experienced sniper...

..will shadow the operative
on the ground.

Your team
somewhere out to your front.

You're on your (BLEEP) own.

You need to communicate
clearly and efficiently

to the HQ drone...

..and make your way
to that (BLEEP) extraction point.

Do you understand?
MAHALIA: Yes, Staff.

CRAIF: Drone operator too.

If I had to rely on someone...

..to guide me through
something on the battlefield,

you want someone that has your back
and supports you,

and someone that you trust,

but I'd still be worried.

Immediate left into the laneway.

Ahead of you,

you will see an obstacle
that screens.

Make your way to your right.

Move.

OK, stop there, stop there.

Now, Number Nine
must scan the area ahead...

..before directing her path forward.

Ahead of you is a laneway.

There are obstacles on the ground,
but your path is clear.

Move forward.

ANT: Good.

And keep to the shadows.

There is an individual
coming up on your left.

I don't believe
the individual's a threat,

they appear to be sweeping.

Still moving forward.

You will see...

..what appears to be
civilians playing football...

..to your right and beyond that.

To the left, in the shade,

there appears to be someone
who could be a threat.

I want you to keep your eyes open
as you move forward.

That's great.

This is our only way through.

Deal with it accordingly.

Copy drone operator.

(GUNFIRE)

You've been contacted.

You need to get out of there.

You need to get out of there.

So when you make your way
through this open ground,

there'll be two vehicles.

And the vehicle to your right,
I want you to get in that vehicle.

Run like the wind.

(GUNFIRE)

Take him out.

What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

Take him out if you get a chance.
Just go.

Number Six, make a (BLEEP) decision.

Now!

Make a (BLEEP) decision!

Go!

CRAIG: Go, go, go.

For that vehicle.
Go!

(BLEEP) move!

(GUNFIRE)

Heading to the vehicle.

The vehicle to your right.

The next vehicle.

Wrong vehicle,
the vehicle to your right.

STAZ:
What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

ANT: Staz, exercise stop.

Stop, stop, stop.

Right.

Despite Number Nine's
precise communication...

(BLEEP) great job.
Let's go.

..Number Six
ignored his final instruction

to get to the front vehicle
for a speedier exit...

(BLEEP) Number Nine was shaking

'cause he had your life
in his hands.

Get the (BLEEP) out of here.

..meaning both have failed the task.

OLLIE: Five and Four.

Now, Anthony Mundine
will act as drone operator...

ANT: Let's go.

..while Abbey Holmes
will be the ground soldier.

OK.

Weapon system is now yours,
and it's live.

I've always been
a part of team environments,

but when you're put into a situation

where you effectively have to trust
somebody with your life,

that's challenging.

Number Five,
Number Five, you got me?

I got ya.

Alright, move, move up,
move up, move up.

Come out, come out.

Stick to your left.

Stick to my left?

I feel that I'm a...
I can be a good communicator.

I feel that I can be prompt,

be assertive, and...

..give good instructions.

Sticking to the left on the wall.

Clear passage going straight?

Keep going straight,
keep going straight.

As Number Four moves,

Number Five
doesn't inform what's ahead,

..or where to take cover.

I can see somebody there.

They're holding a shovel.
Zero threat.

When that bloke on your left,
when he goes ahead,

go on your right side.

Stay on your right and go straight,

but not yet.

Confused,

Abbey moves
without instruction to do so.

Why is she (BLEEP) moving?

You haven't told her to move.

Running up to the cover.

Stop, stop, stop, stop.

Tell her to stop
(BLEEP) tracking her own detail.

You're in (BLEEP) charge.

Stop tracking your own detail,
I'm in charge.

Listen to me.
I'll get you out of there.

There's a guy up on the right.

He's got a gun.

You tell me when to move.

Come over to your right.

Can you see the man over there?

There's a guy about 20m up.

Go to your left.

Come back out.

Come back out through the gate.

Without realising,

Mundine has sent her
straight toward the hostile.

Gun ahead, it's not pointed at me.

STAZ:
What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

(GUNFIRE)
Make a decision!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Come on, make a decision

She's just been contacted.

Go right, go right, go right,
run, run, run, run, run.

Go right to that...

In there, yeah.
Man with a soccer ball, no threat.

Don't do that,
come back, come back, come back,

come back and go straight.

Come back.

Where the (BLEEP) is she going?

Come back, come back.
(BLEEP) running into the enemy!

Come back this way.
Other way, other way.

Where is this way, Number Five?

Go forward
like you were going forward,

and go left.

Now, in a state of panic...

What's here? Identify it.

Look, there's a (BLEEP) gate,
there's a gate, whatever it is!

There's a gate there.

..communication has broken down.

There's a corridor with a...

STAZ: There's a (BLEEP) threat
there, Number Four!

(GUNFIRE)

(BLEEP) deal with the threat.

Get the (BLEEP) out of there, Ab.

You need to get
the (BLEEP) out of there.

(ABBEY WHIMPERS)

Coming up...
(ABBEY SCREAMS)

ANT: Arms out!
Fear turns to panic...

Brake, brake, brake!

(ABBEY SCREAMS)
..in a terrifying task.

Oh, god.

STAFF: (BLEEP) let's go.

Then...

STAZ:
Do not (BLEEP) let them beat you.

..a brutal beasting.

JAY: This is your chance
to redeem yourself!

You don't want to be here,
give me your (BLEEP) number!

And...

You hate yourself?

..Matt Mitcham's painful past.

That's a big (BLEEP) burden
to carry alone.

(DEEP EXHALE)

(GUNFIRE)

There's a (BLEEP) threat there,
Number Four!

Operating in pairs...

Get the (BLEEP) out of there, Ab.

You need to get
the (BLEEP) out of there.

..in a test
of trust and communication...

Deal with that (BLEEP) threat,
Number Four.

..one recruit,
a lone soldier on the ground...

Shoot back at that dude.

..is guided by the other,
a drone operator...

..to navigate
through a series of streets

to the safety
of the first extraction vehicle.

Where the (BLEEP) she going?

Come back, come back.

(BLEEP) running into the enemy!

ANTHONY: Come back this way.
Other way, other way.

Where is this way, Number Five?

Go forward
like you were going forward,

and go left.

But Number Five, Anthony Mundine,
struggles to be clear and concise.

And Number Four, Abbey Holmes...

..is right in the hostile's
line of fire.

(GUNFIRE)

I can't see her.

I can't see her.

Is she here?

There is nothing ahead of me.

Permission to go?

What can you see in front of you?

There is nothing ahead of me,
permission to go?

You (BLEEP) lost her!

(BLEEP) lost her!

STAZ: Tell him where you are!

I'm back at that initial point
where the first threat was found.

Do you want me to proceed forward?

(RADIO STATIC)

(BLEEP) lost her.

You've lost her.

DS Staz, we have no visual,

we have no visuals, over.

STAZ: Copy.

Staz, exercise stop.

(BLEEP) follow me.

With poor communication
from Number Five

and rogue movements
from Number Four...

Move.
..both have failed.

Clear communication!

Tell her to (BLEEP) get back,

tell her to stay put,

so you've got full control of her!

Take charge of your asset!

That is your responsibility!

(BLEEP) off out of my sight,
both of you.

Move.

Shocking.

ANTHONY: Yeah, (BLEEP).

If you're coming into
the special forces world...

..and you want to experience

putting your life
into someone's hands...

OLLIE: Ten and 14.

PETER: Yes, Staff.

..this is where you will learn

that you need to trust
the person that's next to you.

Go.

Trust is your only option.

Number 14,
we want to avoid the threat

and move to your left.

And you have one chance at it.

PETER: Away from the threat.

TIM: Are you sure move to my left?

If I move to my left,
I'm gonna be exposed by the threat.

Move to your left now.

In your heart of hearts,

you will know
if you can trust someone.

(GUNFIRE)

You (BLEEP) ran him
into the (BLEEP) enemy.

Number 14 would be (BLEEP) dead.

Move to this corner,
I'll sort that out for you.

Move to the corner. Stand up.

ANT:
Without trust, there is no teamwork.

Without teamwork,
there is no mission.

Move past slowly.

You certainly
do not want to go on the battlefield

not trusting anyone.

Move forward, stick right.

Two barrels ahead of you.

Stay there.

When you know that

you can put your trust
100% in your partner...

(GUNFIRE)
Move, move, move.

..you want that person by your side
on the battlefield.

(GUNFIRE)

We need to move fast.

You've just been contacted.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Get in the car, get in the car.

Overall,

(BLEEP) good effort that was.

OLLIE: 13.

Last into the task,
Number 13, Matthew Mitcham.

In 2008,

I won an Olympic gold medal

with the highest-scoring dive
in Olympic history.

But after that,
I began a bit of a downward spiral.

Come here, you two.

I was using a lot of drugs,

particularly crystal meth.

But even though
I'm an addict in recovery,

I am still ruled
by self-doubt and fear.

Drone operator.

Yes, Staff.

Got it, Staff.

With an odd number of recruits,

Number Four is given a chance
at redemption...

Yes, Staff.
Move.

..acting as drone operator for 13,
the lone soldier on the ground.

Right, time to (BLEEP) shine.

Get your (BLEEP) head in the game.
Yes, Staff.

You're only as good
as your last (BLEEP) task,

and make this one
a (BLEEP) good one.

Yes, Staff.

Into the corner there.

Into the (BLEEP) corner.

(BLEEP) corner, 13!

I've lived with generalised anxiety
for my whole life.

And I've always struggled
with that fear of failure.

Take charge of that weapon system.

OK. Stand up.

Some people inherently trust,

but for me to trust...

..it's often a process

that is accompanied
with a lot of fear.

OK, as you look around the corner,

can you see two barrels ahead
to the right

before the next obstruction?

Two barrels, copy.

Get to those barrels now.

Go through the passage,

but then find those big barrels
towards your right.

Stay to the right at all times.

Trusting his drone operator,
13 moves past the civilians.

Go now, Number 13.

But neither notices
the threat lurking ahead.

(GUNFIRE)
Speed, speed, speed, speed!

Move straight forward,
straight forward.

Stop! Stop!

Good, good.

Stay put. Stay put.

(GUNFIRE)
Stay there, stay there.

OK, go to your right.

Right. Other way.
Turn around, turn around.

Turn around.
(GUNFIRE)

Stay there.
Stop, stop!

Get behind that wall!

Stay put!

There is a clear ahead,

so turn around the corner

and go through that barricade,

and then find cover.

Move, Move.

Stay in the shadows,

stay in the shadows to your right,
to your right.

(GUNFIRE)

Alright, go now, go now, Number 13.

Go, go, go!

Go!

Threats to your right!

Threats to your right!
Threats to the right!

(GUNFIRE)
Behind you. Get behind the barrel.

Keep moving!
Keep moving! Go!

Go! Go to the exit!

Go to the exit, head to the vehicle!

Go, straight!

Straight ahead.
There are two vehicles.

Get to the vehicle in the front.

The non-threat side.

The vehicle in the front.

Stop!

Stop, stop, stop.
I think they've stopped.

Task over.

You got in
the wrong (BLEEP) vehicle,

and also more (BLEEP) importantly,

running across the open ground

(BLEEP) shooting
like the (BLEEP) Sundance kid?

What the (BLEEP) was all that shit?

That's how you handle
a (BLEEP) weapon system?

(BLEEP) unprofessional.

Yes, Staff.

We told you at all (BLEEP) times,

take charge of any (BLEEP)
weapon system you're given.

Yes, Staff, acknowledged.

Two hands at all times.

You (BLEEP) giving me attitude?
No, Staff.

I'm confirming...
I want a (BLEEP), "Yes, Staff!"

Yes, Staff.

At all times (BLEEP)...
This course,

I feel like, is designed

so that you can't be good
at anything.

(BLEEP) follow me.

Let's (BLEEP) go!

Hurry up!

That you're constantly
being challenged,

or failing, or getting it wrong.

I know that I'm going
to emotionally struggle with that.

(RECRUIT GROANS)
RECRUIT: Oh, my gosh.

How's it going?

All good.
Far out.

(ANTHONY GROANS)

You good?

You alright?

Why? I don't look good?

(ANTHONY LAUGHS)

ZIMA: He looks very relaxed to me.
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)

You always look good.

But you look deep in your thoughts.

I just... I'm not...
It's time to go now.

I gave it a crack.

After Number Five's huge fail
in the task,

his spirits are low.

Keep giving it a crack, mate.

You're just too good.

(ANTHONY GROANS)

Keep going. Get through today.

See how you feel tomorrow.

I don't know, man.

I feel like a failure to myself.

Oh, no, don't. Do not let...
No, don't do that.

I'm too competitive, mate.
So am I.

And that's what sucks

is because I'm not used to failure
and neither are you.

It's not the first time

'The Man' Mundine
has wanted to voluntarily withdraw.

Yeah, I'm ready to go now.

Are ya?
Yeah.

100%.

Are you sure?
Yeah.

Are you kidding around now,
or are you serious?

(LAUGHS)
I'm serious.

I'm a fighter,
and I'm a competitor...

I'll see ya.

..but you sometimes have to...

See ya, bruh.

..know when to bring it on,
know when to bring it off.

You know what I mean?

CRAIG M: Sheesh.

Just like that, eh?

Just feels like...
Feels so strange.

Number Five.

ANTHONY: Staff.

Good, listen.

I'm not going to keep you here.

If you want to (BLEEP) VW,

it's completely up to you.

I'm just not
in the right headspace...

But just listen,

I want you to go out on a high,

not (BLEEP) VW here
on (BLEEP) parade square.

He'll come back I reckon.

Come back, baby, come back, baby.

(RECRUITS LAUGH)
Nah, just kidding, just kidding.

Just take each day as it comes, OK?

Yeah.

No, you doofus. Lasso him.

Quick, lasso him in.

Clean your shit up.
Alright.

He's coming back.

CRAIG M:
Talk about (BLEEP) boomerang.

(RECRUITS LAUGH)

Seriously.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Are you staying?

I love you, man.
Love you too, my bruh.

ABBEY: Are you back?
Just for a bit.

MATTHEW:
He'll end up passing the course.

(RECRUITS LAUGH)
ZIMA: Last man standing.

RECRUIT: Just for a bit.

I just want to walk away
knowing that I gave my all.

I ain't falling,
I'm not...

I ain't falling up short.

I ain't falling up short.

Kick back, kick back.

(SINGING)
# Anthony Mundine,

# He's the best we ever seen

# With a left and a right

# Mundine he's out of sight. #

(ANTHONY LAUGHS)

(MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC)

While Number Five
recommits to the course...

OLLIE: Rightio.

..the DS meet to examine
the recruits' efforts in the task.

Right, drone.

Good task, mate.

It was a good task.

Some of them (BLEEP) melted

and (BLEEP) couldn't grasp it.

I was quite surprised
with Number Nine...

..how just calm, set the standard.

Ahead of you,

you will see an obstacle
that screens to your right.

I was just like,

"Right, they're gonna
(BLEEP) cruise through this."

And then all of a sudden
it just went...

STAZ: (BLEEP) move!

(GUNFIRE)

What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

Number Six, make a (BLEEP) decision!

Now!

Number Six (BLEEP) melted

and just (BLEEP) couldn't grasp it.

Number Five
has zero communication skills.

I think he tried to fuse

two of his brain cells together
for that,

but it didn't work.
Come back this way.

Other way, other way.

Where is this way, Number Five?

You (BLEEP) lost her!

(STAZ CHUCKLES)

However, Number Four,

we obviously gave a second chance
to redeem herself.

This time she was
the drone operator.

And Number 13
was the operator on the ground.

Mate, it was like,
what the (BLEEP) am I seeing?

He's just (BLEEP) firing
one-handed again,

up, up, all the way around,

firing over his shoulder.

And as he's running across,

and then he gets to the car,
the wrong car.

And then the main gripe with me

was just see a little snap,

which I thought
was an attitude towards me.

He needs a good talking to.

Let's bring him in.

(PRAYER CALL)

ZIMA: Do you want one?
A what?

A gymnastics trick.
Gymnastic trick.

Please don't hurt yourself.
I won't.

(RECRUITS EXCLAIM)

Ow!

Shut up.

That hurt me.

Ta-da.
(LAUGHTER)

JAY: Number 13!

Ever since being a child,

not wanting to get in trouble

has been a constant
throughout my life.

Face the post, put your hands up.

I hate being told that I'm wrong,

or feeling that
I've done something wrong.

"'Winning Olympic gold

"'is the most extreme natural high
you can ever experience',

"says Matthew Mitcham"

"who then pauses, laughs, and adds,

"'That's why
I became a drug addict'."

Meth addiction.

Yeah, crystal meth.

(BLEEP).

"It got dark,
my self-esteem was shattered."

"He slipped into old habits
after discovering

"he remained at number two
on the global rankings."

Wow.

If he's not number one
and not a perfectionist,

then number two
isn't good enough for him.

Mm.

Step up.

MATTHEW: I was retired 15 months

with no intention
of ever returning to the sport.

When I got the opportunity
to start diving again...

..I had a drug problem
and went cold turkey.

But I never really addressed
any of the underlying causes

of why I was just wanting to escape.

Step up.

Step over.

Number 13.

Yes, Staff?
Relax.

(EXHALES)

What have you come here to prove
and who to?

Big question, that.

(MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC)

Step up.

Step over.

Showing reckless behaviour
in the task

and a questionable attitude...

..the DS have summoned Number 13,
Matthew Mitcham.

STAZ: Number 13.

Yes, Staff?
Relax.

(EXHALES)

What have you come here to prove?

Big question, that.

It is.

What have you come here to prove
and who to?

I don't have anything to prove
to anybody else, it's all me.

I'm my own worst enemy.
It's all...

I (BLEEP) know that.
Yeah.

When did you get gold?
2008.

Did you like diving?

It was my ticket to being special
basically

'cause I knew I could do it
really well

and that's all I kind of wanted.

Like since I was a kid,
since I was like eight or nine

I thought, well,
if I do something really good

and get this positive validation,

then if I'm the best in the world
at something then I'm going to get,

like, everything that I need,
I'm going to feel good about myself.

And so that was a real driving
force.

Is it because you've been (BLEEP)
locked in your own head

for (BLEEP) years?

I know that I've got really
low self-esteem

and like of course,
I know that's from childhood,

that's ridiculous childhood trauma
but...

Take me back to that childhood.

(SIGHS)

My single, only child in a single
parent household and...

Mum, Dad?
Mum, yeah,

obviously, her life was difficult

so the easiest way to make me
just be as easy as possible

was to control me through fear.

What did that make you do
to yourself from a young age?

You hate yourself?

Yeah.

Why?
Um...

..because I just didn't feel
good enough.

When I got overwhelmed with feelings
that I couldn't feel on the inside

I used to cut myself
out of anger

'cause I felt like
then the problem was dealt with,

it was some sort of release for me.

And after one particular episode
I went far too far

and I had to call my grandma
to take me to hospital.

What was the worst thing?

Um...

I tried to take my life once.

(CRIES QUIETLY)

Have you processed that?

I just think I wrapped it all up
in the whole same thing.

It's just that whole self-esteem
stuff, you know,

and it got too much
and luckily, it didn't work but...

What other issues
(BLEEP) came into play?

I kind of knew from five
that I liked boys.

Mm-hmm.

Through primary school
and, you know, religion and stuff,

that's when shame started
getting put onto it

and so then I put a rubber band
around my wrist

because I knew that being gay
was such a bad thing,

I put a rubber band around my wrist
and every time I had a gay thought

I would snap the rubber band
against my wrist

to try and associate pain with it,

to try and train myself
out of being gay.

(BLEEP).

That's some hardcore stuff, that.

No wonder you've been in
your (BLEEP) own head

for all those years.

No wonder you went down that
(BLEEP) path of self-destruction.

I think anyone else (BLEEP) would.

That's a big (BLEEP) burden
to carry alone

in your own (BLEEP) head.

Wow.

It's been such a long time
since I've thought about it

so it's kind of, it has surprised me
a little bit I think.

Just kind of feeling
those feelings again.

I actually see you here
at the end of the course.

Mmm.

But you need to focus 100%.

Stop the (BLEEP) perfection shit,
it doesn't exist.

Don't over (BLEEP) think,
don't over (BLEEP) analyse.

(BLEEP) go with it, be you.

That's what this course is about.

(TENDER MUSIC)

OK, Number 13?
Yes.

Guard!

(TENDER MUSIC)

Been his own worst enemy
from the age of five

all the way through 18 and beyond.

(BLEEP) impact that had on him.

I'm seven and a half years clean
and sober.

I came here going,

I don't think I'm going to cry
about anything

because I've done so much work
on processing all of this stuff.

Right, go.

But even though, I've done the work
the facts are the facts.

It's all very sad.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Travelling through
the dry desert heat,

the recruits are about to engage
in an intense test

of their trust in one another.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

OLLIE: OK, get out.
Hurry up.

Hurry up.
Two ranks.

Other one.

What's (BLEEP) important today,
trust.

I went away and trained
for two years

to become a mountain guide.

I came back, I was the expert.

Do you know what comes with that?

Responsibility.

Responsibility
that you do it correctly.

Responsibility that (BLEEP)
none you muckers die, OK?

Ignore the failures
that went on this morning.

Put them aside.

This is now a different mission,
this is now a different task.

There's some people here
that don't like (BLEEP) heights.

It's pretty (BLEEP) high, isn't it?

Packet those emotions.

Stick 'em in your (BLEEP) pocket.

You'll be working in terms,
pairs of two.

It's essential that you trust
each other.

Trust each other with everything.

Lives, emotions, the lot.

At the edge of a mountainous cliff
face,

a terrifying 150m drop
to the ground below,

the recruits will work in pairs.

At the top, as one prepare to fall...

ANT: Hold brake!

..below, their brakeman
must take full control of the rope.

Arms out signals the brakeman
to stand by.

Hands behind their head signals
they're ready to jump.

Go!

Freefalling at incredible speed,

the brakeman must now wait until
the recruit passes the black line

before pulling hard on the rope
to slow the recruit

and prevent them from hurtling
to the ground.

It's about the full focus
of the brakeman.

If they brake too late,
it's game over.

JAY: Go.

OLLIE: Number Four
and Number Six with me.

First to take the leap of faith,

AFL commentator Abbey Holmes

and international rugby star,
Mahalia Murphy.

Guess what you're doing.

Going to the top coming down.

Yep.
Mm-hmm.

Guess what you're doing.
Braking.

Braking.

Her life is in...

My hands.
OK.

You trust her?
I do trust her.

Are you confident?
Yes, I am.

OK.

As Mahalia contemplates
the huge responsibility ahead of her,

Abbey is at the cliff top,
face-to-face with her greatest fear.

Harnessing the emotion today.
Yeah, good.

Well, you need to.
Yep.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

People know that I freeze
when it comes to heights.

Yep.

But, you know, everybody's scared
of something in this world

and yeah. (TEARFULLY)

But I just, I guess face my fears
and get to the end.

Alright, your rope.
Listen to the brief.

You hold it like this.

So the rope's like that
in your palms, right?

The recruits gonna come down
to hold the position,

you'll get told to take control
so you'll pull this rope in.

As soon as the head
touches the helmet,

you let all the slack go
in the rope, they'll descend.

OK, you see the (BLEEP) black line?

Yes, Staff.

Not below or not before it.

For me, like trust is so important.

And I want to earn it.

'Cause I know that person's got
faith in me

and if I haven't done it right,
then I've let them down.

I'd be absolutely gutted.

Both feet, thank you.
Yes, Staff.

Don't be sorry.
Just (BLEEP) calm yourself down.

Staff, can I just ask a question?

After Number Six brakes,
what do I do need to do?

Stay in your position.
You don't need to do anything.

OK.
You are potentially a casualty,

you're (BLEEP) probably,
could potentially be (BLEEP) dead.

Do you understand?
Yes, Staff.

Right, get a (BLEEP) grip
of yourself.

You ready, Number Six?
Yes, Staff.

ANT: The brakeman,
they have your life in their hands.

You ready for the (BLEEP)
responsibility

of Number Four's life?
Yes, Staff.

You sure?
Yes, Staff.

If the brakeman gets it wrong,
you're dead.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Right.

Control yourself down
to that first lip.

You look a bit apprehensive.

So on the black line, pull it in.

Yeah.
Gotcha, Staff.

Good to go.

You sure?
Yes, Staff.

Right.

Hold brake!

(HEART BEATING)

Standby.

Standby!
Arms out, arms out!

(ABBEY SCREAMS)
Brake!

Brake, brake, brake!
(BLEEP) brake!

JAY: Pull it down, Number Six.
Go!

In a frightening test of trust,

150m above a desert canyon,

Number Four's fate is in the hands
of her brakeman,

Number Six, Mahalia...

Standby.

Standby.
Arms out!

Arms out!
(ABBEY SCREAMS)

ANT AND JAY YELL: Brake!

Brake!
Brake!

(BLEEP) hell, Number Six!
Arms out!

Go, go!
Go, let go!

(BLEEP) hell, Number Six.

Alright, get up, Number Six.

Stand up.

Let go, let go.

Right, Number Four, grab the rope

and descend
on your own (BLEEP) steam.

With no control of Abbey's freefall,

needing DS Jay to save her
from hitting the ground,

brakeman Mahalia has failed.

What happened, Number Four?

I went down to the first ledge
as instructed

and then when I was told to standby

I went to go like that
but I fell back.

(SIGHS)

Why did she fall back, Number Six?
Didn't have a tight grip.

No, you didn't have a (BLEEP) hold
of the (BLEEP) rope, did ya?

(BLEEP) look at Number Four.

I'm good.
Look!

I'm good.
Sorry, Abs.

(BLEEP) she put her (BLEEP) trust
in you.

(BLEEP) off to the DS.

Failure
is my biggest disappointment.

I know I'm capable of anything
but when things don't go my way

sometimes I can be a bit hard
on myself.

I hate failing more than anything.

Number Six.

What's wrong?

Just disappointed in myself.

Listen, (BLEEP) listen,
don't worry about that.

We all (BLEEP) up, look at me.

Number Six, we all (BLEEP) up,
right?

I can understand
why you're disappointed in yourself

'cause I was (BLEEP) shocked
you (BLEEP) done that.

Alright?

Yes, Staff.
Doesn't (BLEEP) matter.

Just (BLEEP) crack on
and get on with things,

you know what I mean?

You're not used to failing, are you?

You're one of my strongest members
on this (BLEEP) course.

Yes, Staff.
OK?

Yes, Staff.
(BLEEP) swallow it up.

Hold yourself (BLEEP) accountable
which you have done

and you know where to (BLEEP) go
from there, you understand?

Yes, Staff.
Alright.

Dry your eyes, get over there,
keep your chin up.

Yes, Staff.
Away you go then.

JAY: Brakeman needs to be focused.

They need to be unrattled
by distraction.

Their partner needs to trust.

Gradually pull down there.

So you pull down, as in like
gradually but (BLEEP) pull it hard.

Yep.
OK?

They need to trust that they can
do this job under pressure.

There is no room for distraction.

There is no room for error.

Standby.

(TENSE PAUSE)

Go!

Trust is vital
for any special forces soldier.

Trust is what binds you
as a unit and as a team.

How'd that feel, Number Seven?
Good.

Had a plan, went exactly as planned.

Yeah?
It was actually pretty (BLEEP) good.

Alright, (BLEEP) around to the DS.

Good job, brother.

I owe you my life man.

(LAUGHTER)

ANT: Standby.

Go!

For me, trust has kept me alive.

Trust has kept me sane.

Trust has allowed me to do
what I've need to do

in the moments
that I've needed to do them.

Standby.

Go!

Brake!
Brake, brake!

(BLEEP) pull him.
(BLEEP) brake.

Brake!

(BLEEP) move out the way 13.

(BLEEP) hell.

13, what the (BLEEP) was that?

When did say brake?

When he got to the line.
The black line.

Yeah.
When did you brake?

When he...

(BLEEP) way below
the (BLEEP) black line.

(BLEEP) off to the DS, both of you.

The final pair to face the cliff
is OG bachelor Tim Robards

and world champion boxer,
Anthony Mundine.

I always think about
how I overcome obstacles

and how I overcome certain things

to reach the heights
that I've reached.

Alright, listening to the brief.
Yeah.

Soon as he puts his hands
on his head

you let the slack go in the rope,
he'll fall and descend.

You see that obvious black line
on the rock?

Yeah.
OK?

That's your brake line.

Not above, not below.

And how do you brake, just catch it?
Pull it.

Over to you.

Trusting in, in your fellow man
or fellow human being

basically, come through,
come through for you.

It's the most important, is trust.

Nothing else matters.

Watch your leg, five.

Who's your brakeman?

Number Five, Staff.

Do you trust him, Number 14?

I have to trust him.
There are no other options, Staff.

Let's find out.

I've always been the kind of person

that gives trust
instead of making you earn it.

I give it.

You know what to do, take your time.
Get down to the lip.

But at the same time,
I have a lot of fears.

I'm scared of heights.

You don't want to die.

Good, wait.

ANT: Hold brake!

ANTHONY: Yeah, got it.

Standby!

Yep.

Go!

Right, how was that?

Had to put my life in his hands
and...

(BLEEP) scared of heights,
aren't you 14?

Yeah, I don't like heights.

From you five, what I saw,

I mean you listened
to the words of command,

you stopped at the right point.

I can't say much more.

BOTH: Thanks, Staff.

I expect a lot from myself.

And I know I can do anything.

Like Batman and Robin.
Superman.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm Mundine Man. (LAUGHS)

JAY: Fast as you can!
Let's move!

An agonising beasting...

ANT: We are (BLEEP) running
all the way back in.

..will force one recruit to withdraw.

Number Five,
get a (BLEEP) move on, move!

Hold the press-up position!

Then...

You're hard on yourself.
(TEARFULLY) Mm-hm.

..Mahalia's tragedy revealed.

I remember my mum sitting there
making me hug my sister

because we weren't sure
if she was actually gonna be OK.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

When I say go,
you'll get your bergens on

and you'll sprint up that hill
at the speed of 1,000 cheetahs,

let's go!

They are running back to camp.

Get that into your (BLEEP) heads.

JAY: Keep it (BLEEP) going.
Come on!

The recruits have completed
their harrowing test of trust

but halfway through the course,
the DS want to up the intensity.

Do not walk.

STAFF: Go!
Do not walk.

STAZ: Hurry up!
JAY: Come on!

Move!
Fast as you can!

Let's move!

To see who will crack
and leave the course.

ANT: All the way back to camp.

Never out of the fight.

With a sickening beasting,
20kg bergen

and 10km run back to base.

JAY: Hurry up!
Go!

ANT: Beastings can break you
and I've seen it break many.

We're there to push you.
Move it!

To see if you can deal
with the horrors of war.

If you don't get to that level,
to that standard,

then we're gonna (BLEEP) you off.

Get in the press-up position.

Get in the press-up position.
Hold it.

The pack, Number Two.
Hurry up!

STAFF: Hurry up!

ANT: Not out of the fight,
we're never out of the fight.

Pays to be a winner.
Hurry up!

(BLEEP) push it!
See that vehicle?

See that vehicle?

That's where we're going,
through that path.

Get down, get down!

That vehicle up there,
get down in press-up position!

Get down, get in the (BLEEP) press
up position!

Right 20 press-ups, let's go!
STAFF: Go!

Proper press-up!

ANT: Hold the press-up position!

STAFF: And you, Number Two,
get that (BLEEP) arse down.

Hold the press-up position!
JAY: It's not a press-up, is it?

Come on!

Get off your knees, Number Five!

If not, you know what to do!

(ZIMA CRIES OUT)

Right, get up, let's go.

JAY: Let's go!

(BLEEP) move.

Get it (BLEEP) down!

And you, 14!

I'm super competitive, like
if you say I can't do something,

I'll prove that I can do it.

That's what separates the man
from the rest.

JAY: Put the effort in.

(BLEEP) dig deep.

Two, keep moving those (BLEEP) legs.

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

On one of my first missions
in Afghanistan,

just going over the sand dunes,

my heart felt like
it wanted to explode.

ZIMA: Two, do not (BLEEP) walk.

Keep running.

My mouth went dry, dehydration.

I was sweating.

It felt like my skin wanted to melt
off of my body.

RECRUIT: (TEARFULLY) I know!

I can just remember looking around,
thinking to myself,

if I do not keep moving

and I focus on what's happening
to my body right now,

I won't get out of here alive.

JAY: (BLEEP) move!
Move!

With 5km still to go,
the recruits are already exhausted.

Give us your number
if you want to get out of here

and you can get in the (BLEEP) wagon
and go home.

And Number Five lags well behind
the others.

Number Five, get a (BLEEP) move on!

Move!

When my body's in pain,

just try to mentally push through,
man.

You got to push through it.

I mean, I'm The Man.

I can do anything.

STAFF: Fast as you can.
Get in there.

JAY: (BLEEP) head and eyes down.
ANT: Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Get off your (BLEEP) knees.

Get in there!

Don't want to be here,
you know what you can do.

We are (BLEEP) running
all the way back in.

Get off your (BLEEP) knees.

OLLIE: Alright, this is your chance
to redeem yourselves.

(GROANS)

20 press-ups, go.

Get off your (BLEEP) knees,
Number Five.

(ANTHONY GRUNTS IN PAIN)

Get your (BLEEP) head and eyes down.

STAFF: Let's (BLEEP) go.
Come on.

Stop whimpering six.

(ANTHONY GRUNTS)

ANT: Get off your (BLEEP) knees!
I'm done, bruh.

What?
I'm done.

Give us your number then.

(RECRUITS GRUNTING AND PANTING)

You sure you want to do this,
Number Five?

Yeah, bruh.
You sure?

Yeah, yes.
Alright, dress back there.

Wait up for the vehicle.

Right, follow me, let's go.
Let's go!

(RECRUITS GRUNTING AND PANTING)

I couldn't keep going.

You couldn't?

Listen, at the end of the day,
it's your choice, your choice.

Yes, Staff.

And just be proud
of how far you've come anyway.

Yeah, nah, I'm, I'm...

As long as, you know what,
as long as you're happy

with what you've done.
Yeah, nah, I'm happy, bruh.

That's it.
Good.

Happy, Staff, yeah.

In my life,
I've been pushed to my limits hard.

To when I can't go no more.

That's a part of life
so you have to accept that.

Doesn't mean
I've stopped believing in myself.

Special forces selection
takes a unique mindset.

Putting them through that physical
or psychological pressure

and those demands
is enough to break any man.

(MIDDLE EASTERN MUSIC)

Lasting five punishing days,

Anthony 'The Man' Mundine
has handed in his number.

Walking away, I feel great

and I feel that I've
achieved something that,

you know, pushed me out
of my comfort zone.

(FLASHBACK)
Now.

(EXPLOSION)
Good.

And that doing a task, even though
I didn't pass a lot of them,

I actually learned there's certain
things for certain people

so I'm like one of the best athletes
ever, know what I mean?

I didn't say I was the best
SAS fella.

I just come
and have enjoyed the experience.

I've made it halfway through
and I'm grateful for that.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

STAFF: Go, go!

After a sickening 10km run,

the eight remaining recruits
struggle into base camp.

(ZIMA CRIES)
It's (BLEEP) hard.

As long you don't stop.

If you (BLEEP) crawl
like a (BLEEP) worm,

and you're making the effort
of moving,

that's all that matters, alright?

It's (BLEEP) tough
and look where you are now,

'cause you pushed through.

(BLEEP) hard but we got through it.
We did, we did great.

I reckon we should wash
these tea towels too.

I'll do it now
while I thinking about it.

'Cause I've thought about it before
and that was several days ago.

(LAUGHS)

Aww, I'm gonna miss him
and just like his...

..just the laughs.
PETER: His banter.

ABBEY: Laughs.
Yeah.

Just like everything was a laugh.
Yeah.

He would just laugh at anything.
Yeah.

Bless him.
He done well.

Number Six!

After a dangerous fail in the task...

Put your hands against
the concrete post, Number Six.

..international rugby player
Mahalia Murphy

is called in for questioning.

Down.

Sit down.

(DOOR CLOSES)

How are you feeling?

A little bit nervous.

(BLEEP) shit day today you've had.

Yes, Staff.

You so used to be under pressure
that when it does go wrong,

you can absolutely,
it's the end of the world.

You feel like
you're letting people down.

(TEARFULLY) I understand
it's part of learning and growing.

Even with football...

Talk to me about your football,
you know.

How did you get into that?

I moved away from home
straight out of high school.

I used to come back
on Friday night,

spend the weekend then watch
my sister play on the Saturday.

Couple of girls didn't turn up
to the game

and the coach asked me
if I could play

and I think
yeah, it was just that moment

that I realised
I really love the sport.

I really want to play.

I've been playing
for just over ten years

and I've been able to represent
Australia in three different codes,

from Rugby League
to then going to Rugby sevens

and Rugby 15s.

I've been to two World Cups

I've been able to play on home soil
in front of my family

which is probably the best thing
for me.

Talk to me about your childhood,
talk to me about your upbringing.

(TEARFULLY)
When I was four years old

my mum had a car accident and...

she's still with us,
thank gratefully

but she did die three times
on the table,

and she spent a year and a half
in hospital

and my dad was a night truck driver

and it was really hard
not having him at home

throughout the day
and Mum being in hospital away.

(SNIFFS) And my oldest sister
had moved away to Walgett.

Take a breath, take a breath.

So your older sister left.

Yes and my younger sister below her
had to take responsibility

but she was going through that phase

where she, 'cause she didn't
have like a figure around her

to lead her,
she kind of just took the wrong path

got involved with drugs.

And you witnessed that?

(TEARFULLY)

I remember my mum sitting there
making me hug my sister

'cause we weren't sure
if she was actually going to be OK.

Multiple times
when my sister was off her face.

How old were you?

At this time I probably would have
been able eight.

(BLEEP).
Eight years old.

But yeah, so my sister
was on the wrong path.

And then my older sister passed.

I'm sorry to hear that.
That's OK.

How did she pass?
Heart attack.

And you're left by yourself, right?
Yeah.

Losing my sister when I was 13

was a massive impact on my family
again

experiencing grief at a young age
I kind of went into a shell

and isolated myself from everyone.

It was painful.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

The fact that I will never see
or hear her voice again

and give her one more cuddle
really hurts.

Yeah, if it wasn't for my mum
I definitely wouldn't be where I am.

I just felt like I had to be
that child to make her proud.

I sort of saw that emotional side
today

when you said that
you're disappointed in yourself.

It's almost you feel like you've
disappointed your mum probably.

Fair, yeah.

But that's exactly
how I thought of it.

I was like when my mum watches this
or my brother watches this.

But at the same time...

I know you're used to doing things
by yourself

you know especially growing up,
having heard your story now

it makes even more sense

but, you know, try
and put your (BLEEP) faith in others

and your trust in others
whilst you're on this course.

That's the only way you're gonna
make it through the course.

You can't make it by yourself.

We all (BLEEP) make mistakes,
we all mess up.

It's how we bounce back
that's really important, OK?

So make you (BLEEP) bounce back
with vengeance,

do you understand me,
Number Six?

Yes, Staff.

Good.
Guard!

Hands together.

She didn't have a good day.

Hopefully, she'll get back on,
back on track

and keep smashing it

'cause that's exactly
what she's doing.

She's smashing it.

Yeah, it'd be great to see her
at the end.

Yeah.

Number Six.
Staff.

We've all got (BLEEP) stinker
of a day in us, yeah?

Yes, Staff.
Don't (BLEEP) worry about it.

Park it, yeah?

Yes, Staff.

On the course, my family will be
in the back of my mind

pushing me through.

So, I'll do everything I can.

'Cause I do want
to make my mum proud

because family is the most
important thing to me.
