MAN: Hurry up!
Move!

NARRATOR: Previously
on SAS Australia...

It can be a living nightmare,
or, an experience of a lifetime.

..17 celebrity recruits
arrived in a baptism by fire...

Go!

I don't know
what we're gonna face now.

..before a terrifying submersion...

So scared.

..brought Melissa's fears
to the surface.

I'm so much stronger
than what I give myself credit for.

You are.

Get in tight. Remain calm.

Do not panic.

The toughest
selection course ever...

I can't do it.

You can do it and you will do it!
Because there is no way out!

..claims not one,
but three victims.

Look at me, look at me.

Your strengths will fucking prevail.

And, in a death defying test
of nerves,

Wayne Carey...

Your head is big enough.
Start fucking using it.

..is exposed.

I slept with a teammate's wife.

A teammate?

It's haunted me
for over 20 years.

You just have this attitude,

I'm the world's greatest footballer,
I do what the fuck I want.

In a remote compound,

17 celebrity recruits
have survived their first 24 hours

of the brutal SAS selection course.

How'd you sleep?

Shithouse.

Oh, I was up all night. All night.

It was awful.

OK, guys, breakfast.
You're gonna have to eat fast.

With another exhausting day ahead,

the recruits must fuel-up
on the limited camp rations.

I'll have a omelette
with the lot, please.

Duty Recruit number one, Ebanie,

must serve the other recruits
before herself.

Let's go.

What are we having for breakfast?

Porridge and egg.

I'm not eating porridge.

I'll have yours.

I do like
the finer things in life.

You know,
I love going to nice restaurants.

Is it literally just porridge?

Porridge and eggs.
Porridge and an egg.

None of us are doing this course
because we heard the food was great.

Like, it's all round
got shit reviews.

But I am not eating porridge.

Are you never gonna eat porridge?

I mean, I might.

Simone, please.

I think it's better than my porridge
at home when I do it, like.

This is good.
Mm, it's got flavour.

It's just like, not ideal.

I hate porridge.

Are you just sore, like...

Yeah, I think my hips and lower back
are a little bit sore.

Yeah.

Mealtimes are an opportunity
for the recruits

to get to know each other better.

So, retired NRL star, number eight,
Darius Boyd, fields a few questions.

What's your natio, man?
What's your background?

Oh, I dunno. Aussie, I think.

Yeah?

I never, I never met my father,
so, I don't know.

My name is Greek.

But I think my mum just seen it
on a TV show or something.

Mm.

I am pretty quiet, shy, closed off.

Like to be more alone, I guess.

I don't like to be
the centre of attention,

that's for sure.

I reckon you're just Anglo.
Sorry to be boring.

Yeah.

So I'm just waiting for Orpheus.

Where's Orpheus, man?

Can you tell Orpheus to hurry up,
'cause I've got to eat as well.

Come on, come on.

Can you feel that?
Yeah.

Keep moving it.

Number 17, pro-boxer,
Michael Zerafa,

has started the day
with severe shoulder pain.

(GROANS)

I'm number one
in Australian middleweight boxing,

ranked number seven in the world

and I knocked out my childhood hero,
Anthony Mundine.

I became the man on top
in Australian boxing

and he called me out,
and the fight ended up happening

and I ended up knocking him out
in the first round,

so, dreams do come true I guess.

Can you massage it or something?

It's fucked, man,
it goes under, look.

I've had a lot of injuries, breaks,
you know, that's, that's boxing.

When it hurts, I push harder.

Orpheus needs to move
a bit fucking faster.

He just dawdles. He just fucking
dawdles everywhere.

He's on Fiji time, like me.

Yeah.

OK, guys, we've got to be
at the Parade at 07:20.

With a strict schedule to adhere to,
number nine,

former 'Home & Away' heart throb,
Orpheus Pledger,

is in no hurry
to start the day.

I did almost four years
playing Mason Morgan

on 'Home & Away'.

I really like to go with the flow.
I like to be in the moment.

So if I'm told to do something,

it sometimes takes a while for me
to do it.

But then in that waiting time,
I find out all there is to know,

from an outsider's perspective,
from, about what I want to do.

Orpheus, mate, move faster
because we need to go.

I'm doing this because
it's a challenge, it's a test.

It'd be a great accomplishment
for me to complete something.

Get into your wagons, let's go.

Alright,
we've got to start moving up there.

I'm stressing about it.

It's not easy.

Heading out
for yet another relentless day,

the recruits will face
a harrowing test of self-control.

In the Special Forces,

a key trait that you need
to be able to harness is panic.

When the shit hits the fan,
panic will not only kill you

but it will kill
everyone around you.

You must be able to control panic,

harness it
and make it work for you.

Get out!

The recruits have been brought
to an abandoned outpost...

Hurry up.

Fucking hell.
Nine, move it.

..where retired US Navy Seal,
DS Clint,

will lead them
in a panic-inducing mission.

As a Navy Seal,
you are trained as experts

operating in any environment.

Make sure you can see the DS.

One of the things that set me apart
from other Seals

was I operated with more
of a clandestine environment.

Operating alone in a manner
that no one will ever know about

or hear about.

Alright.

Today, your mission will solely rely
on you going undetected.

Without panicking.

In the Seal teams,
an operator may be tasked

with entering an unoccupied target.

Do whatever is needed
and then get the hell out of there

before the target is occupied.

It's life or death and that's it.

Remember the information,
retention of information always.

I am watching.

Replicating an enemy infiltration.

The recruits must silently navigate
a series of deadly walkways,

15 terrifying metres
above the ground...

..retrieve a mission-essential bag
and get out quickly.

All with DS Stotty
and Ant watching on.

12, go.

Lightning.

Unaware of the mission ahead,

number 12, TV personality,
Anna Heinrich,

is first to face the fearful task.

I am here doing SAS

because I just want more belief
in myself.

I go into things thinking
that I can't do it

and I think that having
a negative train of thought

has held me back in life
in many ways.

OK. Look at that window.
You're gonna be going through it.

Yes, staff.

And then you're gonna be staying
at that height.

You cannot use the floor.

Once you're inside,
you will find a backpack.

And then you will make your way
to an extraction window

where I will be.
Yes, staff.

Time is of the essence, right?
Yes, staff.

You don't know when the bad guys
will be back to the target.

Yes, staff.

And you have to be quiet
as you move.

You understand?
Yes, staff.

Face the wall.

Undetected
is a task simulating CMOE,

which
is Clandestine Methods of Entry.

Right, that's your ladder,
start your climb.

It's essential for the world
of Special Operations.

I was tasked once with deploying
a piece of technology

that would allow us to kill
an Al-Qaeda leader.

He was in an area that
you weren't supposed to be able

to get in there,

and you're sure as hell
not supposed to get out if you did.

And I was surrounded
by a whole bunch of people

that didn't like me.

In. Out. Let's do it.

To complete a mission like that,

you have to get it done right
the first time,

so that you can stay alive.

Keep the noise down, number 12.

I'd like to think
I'm not afraid of heights,

but I feel like when you get up
to a certain point,

everybody is afraid of heights.

But now that I'm a mum,
I want to show my little girl, Elle,

that anything is possible
if you have self-belief.

Fucking good luck
getting over there.

Number 12 must now make
the dangerous transition

from pipe to pipe.

Don't panic.
Just focus on the next phase.

Approaching the vitally important
mission bag...

Get that to the exit point.

..Anna must now stretch out
to unhook it,

risking loss of balance
and plummeting to the ground.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Fucking hell.

Well guess what?

You've just woken up
the whole neighbourhood.

Keep the fucking noise down.

You've already alerted
everyone that you're here.

So hurry up.

Fucking hell.

Climb back up that rope
and get back on that platform.

Yes, staff.

You fucking panic.

When you got the case,

you might as well have woken up
the whole village.

Yes.

And as soon as that happened,
you went to ratshit.

Start switching on.

Yes, staff.

Go.

Next to attempt
the anxiety inducing task,

is number 11,
model Simone Holtznagel.

I know what I look like

and I know
that I do get underestimated.

So I have to get over to the ladder?

Sorry, I'm so confused.

Shh. Keep the noise down.

But I'm pretty good
in an emergency situation.

What you doing?

I'm not sure around.

Fucking get on it.

I'm not scared of heights,

so I don't think that,
that would be

like a panicky situation
for me whatsoever.

This bit is easy for you, number 11.

Just pretend you're on a catwalk.

There we go.

Oh, my god. Oh.

Assess the ground,
make your next move.

Oh, my god. I'm gonna fall.

I, I can't.

I don't want to hear, "I can't".

Oh, my god.

Do not slip
'cause you will fall far.

Where are you going next?
I can't, I can't.

I can't hold myself up, staff.

Oh, my god.

Look.

Full of catwalks up here, isn't it?

Yeah.
Hey?

Get a grip of your emotions.

Ask yourself if you want to be here.

Get it into your head
'cause if you don't,

don't waste our time,
don't waste your time.

Yes, staff.

As the recruits
nervously await their turn...

16, go.

Sprint!

..AFL commentator, Wayne Carey,
is called to task.

During my football career,
I played 272 games

and was two time
premiership captain.

Most special things to me

is playing in two
winning grand finals.

You know, to see the joy
on people's faces

that had followed the club
for so long,

it's the pinnacle
of a sporting life for me.

All the way into the DS.

I've made some really big mistakes
in my personal life

but I think I'm living proof
that you can make mistakes

and get through the other end.
You just have to...

..it takes work.

Alright. You're gonna infill
through that window.

Once you're inside,
you're gonna stay high,

angle of attack,

you're not allowed to
go to the floor, understood?

Yes, staff.
You're gonna maintain high ground.

After you grab the backpack,
you're gonna make your way out,

do you understand?

Yes, staff.

You sure?

Yes, staff.

Alright. Turn around
and face the wall.

I want to show
that I'm hard working

and I'm a good listener.

I can drift off and not listen

but I would hope
that I can follow instructions.

Look where you need to go.

The fuck are you doing?

Despite DS Clint's
clear instructions...

You're not allowed
to go to the floor. Understood?

Yes, staff.

..number 16 heads straight
in that direction.

What was the mission brief?

Go on, tell me why you're hanging
there like a spare prick? Go on.

Go up the ladder,
have a look around

and then make way,
make your way down.

Make, make your way down?
Someone said make your way down?

That's what I thought, staff.

Drop him down.

I can tell you for a fact, a fact,

that no one told you
to get on the floor.

Where are you gonna go from there?

Drop.

You're gonna fucking drop, was you?

Nice and discreet?

You think you can drop from there

to here?

Nice and discreet.

No, staff.

You're gonna snap
your fucking ankle.

No, I didn't look.
You didn't look?

No.

Your fucking head is big enough,
I'm sure there's a brain in there.

Start fucking using it.
Yes, staff.

That was shocking.

Suffering
from a bad shoulder injury,

number 17 will need to overcome
intense pain

and hold his panic at bay.

I don't get scared.

I've been all around the world
and fought the best in the world.

So that's why I'm here now,

to prove that I'm not scared
of any task.

Whether it's in the ring
or outside the ring.

But barely halfway through,

the shoulder pain
hampers his progress.

Enemy is on your back now,

'cause they've just
fucking heard you.

So I suggest you get a shift on.

I've never been
in a situation like the SAS course

and this is something
I really want to test myself with

because I've never been broken.
Ever.

But if anything's gonna break me,
this SAS course could.

If you can't do it, just drop off.

Calm down.
You're drowning each other.

..in a terrifying new task...

Calm down.

..the recruits fight
for their lives.

If you let that panic consume you,
it will sure as hell get you killed.

And later...

I've been charged
with assaulting police.

I got accused
of glassing my girlfriend.

When did you decide to grow
the fuck up?

It's day two of the elite
SAS selection course

and in the ultimate test of nerve,

each recruit must navigate
a series of high dangling walkways

to retrieve a mission-essential bag
and escape without detection.

Come on then, let's move.

Keep the noise down as well.

Having reached the halfway mark,

pro-boxer, Michael, is struggling
as his shoulder pain worsens.

Get a fucking move on, number 17.

Every day I push my body to limits.

I've been doing that my whole life.

You've got five seconds to move.

When I get in the ring,
I just flick that switch

and that lionheart,
you know, comes out to play.

I've got people to prove wrong
and I've got titles to win.

It's kill or be killed.

Strive for pain,
strive for greatness.

Pushing through intense pain...

Go for it.

..number 17 retrieves the bag

but must now make it out
without making any further sound.

Keep the fucking noise down.

(GROANS LOUDLY)

Despite retrieving the bag
and making the exit,

the excessive noise
throughout the task...

I could hear you
a fucking mile away.

..means a fail for number 17.

You know, there's times
where I've given 200%

and still failed.

But it makes me stronger,
it makes me human.

As long as I take something from it
and fail forward,

for me that's all you've got to do,
you've got to fail forward.

Come on, number six, think. Think.

This task simulates what I did
the last part of my career.

Getting into targets undetected,

so there's no forensic traceback
to myself...

Ah.

..or to the United States
government.

You can't take the wrong step.

Hurry up!

No...

You're fucking disciplined,
I know you are!

'Cause you're a fucking boxer.

Do not take the piss!

Yes, staff.

Good job.

Thank you.

It really is determining
if someone's aware enough

to look for the target.

What the fuck are you doing?

You're not using your fucking head!

I want to fucking squeeze it!

Agile enough
to balance across beams.

That was fucking embarrassing.

And have the forethought
to see a path...

..and exit safely.

Fail!

Let's go.

Fucking hell,
that's the fastest one.

Let's go, let's go.

In.

Outstanding.

Turn around.

Alright, how do you feel you did?

I think I did well, staff.

Yeah, I think you crushed it.

So far, barely half the recruits
have passed the task.

Don't fuck this up,
number nine, let's go.

Now, number nine,
actor Orpheus Pledger,

must control the urge to panic.

When I'm on the edge
and I'm facing fears,

I tell myself that I can do this.

Good.

I've just got to psychologically
gee myself up

to take that leap of faith
confidently.

I'll definitely be channelling
Arnold Schwarzenegger

in 'Predator'.

Mm.

Good effort.

My biggest fear is having fear.

Because if I've got fear
then it means

I'm not able to be in the moment.

What you just done there,
is an amazing effort.

Because your head's in the game.

Take charge of this
and keep it there, 'cause look,

fucking amazing you've done now,
good effort.

Go and join the others, move.
Thank you, staff.

Despite his casual start to the day,

number nine has performed well
and passed the task.

You're in your element now.

Yeah.

Go on.

The final recruit
is number three,

singer and actor, Melissa Tkautz.

Faster than that, number three.

OK, if there was any time
to reach in

and grab that fucking strength
that you obviously have,

this is it, OK?

Number three.

Look at me. You've got this.

Staff, thank you.

I am a panicky person.

I panic over the smallest things.

So, my go-to will be to panic

and then the next step will be,
can I do this?

(GROANS)

No. You're not gonna start
whining yet.

You know better.
Get up the ladder.

Come on, Mel, just get up there.

Come on, she can do it.

What if my mental strength
gets me over the line?

Number three.

Stand up.

You see this ladder here?

Yes, staff.

That's where
you've got to make it to.

You've committed,
you've done the first bit,

you've taken the first layer off.

Now let's go.

Lean out further than that.

I can't, staff.

Well, try.

I'm sorry.

It's fine, listen, calm down.

I'm so sorry.

Number three.

Let's move now.

I'm sorry I let you down.

Don't be sorry. You've committed.

That's all you can do.

Make your way back down the ladder.

Yes, staff.

I will see you at the bottom
of the ladder.

Yes, staff.

Failure is inevitable.

You've failed up to now,
in your life

you're gonna fail
till the day you die,

that is a fact.
Embrace it.

Even if I don't succeed,
I'm gonna learn something.

Don't cry.

When you realise that failure
is every day part of life

and it's the biggest
learning tool out there,

you're not gonna succeed
at everything,

but there's not much
that you won't commit to.

Hold your head high.

Extremely high.

From day one,
from the very first hour,

you were petrified.

You faced every single fear
and phobia

that was put in front of you.

You are one brave woman.

That means so much to me,
you have no idea.

You are.

Well done, number three, honestly.

You've been an absolute hero.

Thank you.

Right, take your helmet with you,
let's go.

Thank you.
Good effort.

Remember, use everything
you've been taught.

Yes, staff. I'll never forget you.

You're one brave woman.

Thank you.

Number three, Melissa,
becomes the first recruit

to voluntarily withdraw
from the course.

I've come here to do
what I needed to do

and what I wanted to do.

This was for no one else
but for my own demons.

I just want to say,
"Well look, I did it."

You know?

And I feel as though I've done that.

I'm so much more bloody stronger
than I give myself credit for

and this is what I have to take on
with my life.

Jesus Christ,
this guy is a fucking train wreck.

Wayne's dark past comes to light.

To have this 'fuck you' attitude,
I'm the world's greatest footballer,

I do what the fuck I want.

Having withdrawn from the course,

Melissa makes
an emotional call home.

Hi, baby.
Hi, Mum.

Hi, Mum.

Hi, I'm out, I've done it.

Well, I've done all that I could.

How are you?

Oh, my god, Mum,
we're so proud of you.

You're amazing.
Oh, thank you, baby.

I gave it everything that I had.

So.
You always do, Mummy.

Oh, baby, thank you so much.

Mummy.

Hi, baby.

Mummy's coming.
We miss you so much.

I miss you so much.

I'm so proud of you, Mum.

Thanks, buddy.

Thanks, guys.

I can't wait to kiss your face.

We love you, Mummy.
Yeah.

Bye, baby.

Bye.

OK.

The person that walked in here
was trembling,

and was scared

and didn't know whether
I was gonna last five minutes.

One last time, you and me.

And the person that is leaving
from here is a stronger person.

And it's changed my life forever.

He looked inside my soul
and he saw that I had pain.

But he also saw
that I'm my own worst enemy.

And I can do it.

Alright.

This is for you, Ant.

I'll jog.

I will never forget
what I've done here

and I know I've only done a day
and a half

but for me, it was so big.

I'm very grateful.

Lockie pissed on that seat.

After a harrowing morning
on the course...

Who?
Lockie pissed on the seat again.

Oh, god, mate.

..AFL great, Barry Hall,

now has to deal
with the toilet habits

of fellow recruit, Lockie.

I'm just a terrible aimer.

I'm pretty good in basic conditions.

I don't mind pooing in a hole.

But, you know,
bad habits on the toilet,

I can't stand and I will speak up.

Hey, are all the boys here?

Hey?
Are all the boys here?

Yeah.

Hey, when youse go,
when you have a piss, sorry girls,

but can you not piss on the seat?

Yeah.

So I don't,
if I need to do another one...

I'm glad we separated them.

..I don't want to be sitting
on a piss-stained seat.

Geez, how often has a bloke
heard that in their life?

It's generally from their,
generally from their partner.

Or if you do,
just wipe it up, like.

Yeah.

Never thought, I never thought
I'd hear that from, from big Bazza.

Don't piss on the seat.

As the recruits establish
some housekeeping rules...

..the DS gather to discuss
their performance

in the morning's task.

The one that stood out
the most to me,

that did a great job,
number 14 stood out.

Yeah.

Number 14 figured it out
straight away.

Number nine,
today was getting into it.

You know, it's like a bit
of a knife's edge.

Is he, which way is he gonna go?

Yeah.

This morning, I was like,
looking at him thinking,

fucking, do I need to go
and have a word with him?

Because he was like...

It did seem like he was gaming it.

Vacant.

His focus is just anywhere.

Yeah, not in the game, is it.

It's not in the game,
not at the moment.

I don't know what issues
or outside distractions

that he's got, but they're big.

Mm.

Definitely one to keep an eye on.

And then the ones
that didn't do so hot.

Number 16,

that's deer in the headlights,
constantly.

It was fucking embarrassing.

Yeah.

It's like, you look at him
and you think to yourself,

"Yeah, this guy can do the job."

Zero brain power.

Probably had two brain cells
bouncing off each other.

So disappointing.

Let's get him in then.

Yep.

Number 16?

Is that number 16?

Yeah.

Named the greatest player
in 150 years of Australian football.

Ah, OK.

"Timeline of trouble."

Here we go, look at this.

Jesus Christ,
this guy is a fucking train wreck.

Alright, number 16, let's go.

Good luck.

Sit down.

Today.

It's the fucking dope on the rope.

Oh, it was just a brain fade.

Brain fade?

Have you got a brain up there?

Yes, staff.
You reckon you have?

Yes.

What do you do for a living?

AFL, footy, staff.

Ahh, that'll explain it.

Been hit in the head too many times.

Good footballer?

I'm not too bad, staff.

Someone that's named one of
the greatest fucking players,

you're really downplaying it,
aren't you?

I think it's, it's...

Yeah. It's open to conjecture,

whether you're great or not.

When did you first make the papers

from being a football legend

to being, like,
this guy's got some issues?

Fucking trail of destruction
you left behind there.

Yes, staff, certainly up and down.

I'm not proud of
some of the things that I've done,

but I've done a lot of work

on myself over the last ten years,

and I'd take ownership of it.

Oh, one of
the biggest stories, staff,

was when I slept with
a teammate's wife.

A teammate?

Yes, staff.

It's haunted me for over 20 years.

I was in self destruction mode,

and you know, I guess my life
started to unravel.

I left the football club
and went to America, and...

Talk to me about America.

In America, I've been charged
with assaulting police.

I got accused of glassing
my girlfriend.

Lend over to throw wine on her
in a restaurant,

which clearly is wrong.

The glass touched her lip.

The headlines were that
I glassed her.

What are you fucking playing at?

What went through your head?

That's one of the biggest regrets
of my life, staff.

Of course throwing wine
on a girlfriend is unacceptable.

Completely unacceptable.

Yes, the glass touched her lip.

Didn't break.
I wasn't trying to glass her.

I certainly didn't glass her.

So you're quite
an aggressive person.

No, staff.

All my partners will say
I've never been physically abusive,

but have I been abusive mentally
and also, I guess, intimidating?

Absolutely.

And you have this
'fuck you' attitude,

"I'm the world's greatest
footballer,

"I do what the fuck I want."

No, staff, I think I...

Are you sure about that?
Yeah, absolutely.

Are you sure?
I am, staff.

Why I behaved that way, staff,

is due to, I think
a number of reasons.

Not addressing things, and...

Actually being physically violent
to someone,

I saw that every day growing up.

The way my dad was with my mum.

Horrific stuff.

And that's why when people
close to me said,

"That is unacceptable",

I'd say, "Hang on, that's...
What do you mean?"

I raised my voice, I stood up.

You know. I put my arm on her.

I now know how warped
my thinking was.

You don't actually have to
hit someone to be abusive.

When did you decide to grow
the fuck up?

The penny dropped, staff.

I spoke to the right people,
and since then it...

And that's not to say that I'm
a perfect human now either, staff,

I'm still a work in progress.

Always a work in progress.

You know, in order to be
old and wise,

you have to have been
young and dumb, right?

So listen, it is what it is,

but, do you want to be known
for who you were or who you are?

For who I am now, staff.

We can see on the course
that you're keen.

Even for your age,
you're in good shape.

I need you to start engaging
your fucking head.

OK?
Yes, staff.

It's gonna get harder.
It's gonna get tougher.

Use your fucking brawn,

and your fucking brain,

and you should do OK
on this course.

Yes, staff.

Guard!

You've got this.

He seems massively humbled now,
doesn't he?

Yeah, he does, mate.
Really is.

You know, that just goes
to show you,

that he has moved on,
which is great.

Yeah, yeah.

All good?
All good.

Eight, ten years ago,

I embarked on this journey
of seeking the help

that I needed to invariably be
where I am now.

It's been a long road.

But I think
I'm a better person for it.

Alright, guys. Cleaning duties.

As duty recruit,

it's number one,
Ebanie's responsibility

to ensure the camp is clean and tidy
at all times.

Nine and ten is dorm cleaning.

So sweeping in here,
keeping this tidy,

where we're eating,
keeping that tidy.

13 and 15, fire duties,

and 11 and four, toilets.

(GROANS)

Do we have to do it right now?

Oh, my god, that's disgusting,

I don't even, like...

I don't even want to
talk about the toilets.

Classic fucking stitch up.

Simone.

Toilet time.

I think it's probably just
up to our own prerogative,

like, when to do it, right?

That's a nightmare.

Oh, my god. I'm gonna throw up.

Oh, my god. It smells so bad.

(GAGS) Yuck.

Are you... Oh, my gosh.

Is there some sort of, like,
facial shield you could wear?

BARRY: Do you want to do that?
I can do the toilets.

Are you sure?

If you want to clean that bit up.

Um...

I can do the toilets, it's fine.

OK.

Managing to avoid toilet duty,

model Simone has other jobs
to attend to.

Um...

(GAGS) Yuck.

I would like to think that
I'd make a great soldier.

Oh, yeah.

But the toilet situation,

it just isn't built
for people like me.

(GAGS)

(CHUCKLES)

EBANIE: Um, who is on, are you floor
duty with Orpheus?

LOCKIE: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

As the recruits prepare
for the afternoon ahead...

Can you go and make sure that

he's just not wasting his time
in there,

fucking sweeping doesn't
need to be done.

I just told him that we're done.

Actor Orpheus Pledger
is running to his own timetable.

SIMONE: He's literally off
with the fairies.

Yeah, just make sure
the tables are clean.

You don't need to sweep
if there's no shit there.

You know what I mean?

If someone tries
to make me do something

that I need to do

without telling me why,
I find it intrusive.

I find it...

..annoying. That's all.

Concerned by number nine's
erratic behaviour,

Ant has reviewed his psych test,

a process all recruits undergo
prior to the course.

A psychometric test is a way
of putting the puzzle together,

and that's why I get together
with the doctor,

because we live and breathe
the course with them.

I see stuff out on the ground,

and I want to relate it to
what's going on inside their head.

Wanting to understand
how his mind works,

Ant and Chief Medic, Doctor Dan,
call Orpheus in to find out more.

Number nine.
Come in and sit down.

Yes, staff.

Chief Instructor
has just come to see me

to have a discussion
about your mind-set.

You seemed quite lost
at the beginning.

You were stronger today,

and it's that mind-set
that I'm after.

When you're on it, you're on it.

But there's no in-between ground.

It's either, "Do you know what,
yeah, let's fucking do this."

Or "Nah, you're not
getting that out of me."

Would you say that's...
That's absolutely right.

Yeah?
Yeah.

I think you've had to prove stuff
to other people in your career,

acting, I want to be,
the preview good,

get this music record,
or whatever it may be.

You don't need to do that anymore.
You need to prove it to yourself.

Turn that energy,
inner energy, on yourself.

So keep chipping off each task,
and each day.

You will grow.

Get stronger and stronger
and stronger.

You owe it to yourself, number nine.

You know you can do it.

Nah. I wanna go home.

What you wanna go... What?
Wanna go?

I wanna go home.
What, now?

Mm.

You want to go home?
Mm.

Completing a course like this,

if it's exactly what I'm required
to learn, then I'm gonna go for it.

And if I don't want to learn it,
then I'm not gonna learn it,

and if you call that quitting,
then that's quitting.

Otherwise, it's me doing
what I want for myself,

because I care about other people.

You won't get this chance again
if you walk out that door now.

Number nine,
we haven't even started.

The choice is completely yours.

I definitely, I definitely
want to go home.

OK. Pass me your number,
number nine.

Orpheus is now the second recruit
to voluntarily withdraw.

I don't care if you're Australia's
most loved celebrity.

Do not come on my course

if you are not there to give
absolutely everything.

Don't waste our time.

I am shit-scared.

Unaware of what lies ahead
in the next task,

number 11, model Simone,
is already feeling panic creep in.

I am gonna piss my pants, already.

(GROANS)

While number 17,
pro boxer, Michael...

(GROANS)

..fights a painful shoulder injury.

Being in pain, like,
it's just the most fucked thing.

It went down my arm,
like where my 17...

I know. All down here?
Yeah, like, under, like...

I know, it's all through
the inside, I know.

Let's move, hurry up,
get your Bergens on your back.

Let's go. Go!

Hurry up.
As quick as you can to the DS, go.

Stop fucking around!

Spread it out.
Tall at the rear,

short in the front, take
your Bergens off and sit on them.

Huddle.

Alright.

So there is a saying
in the Seal community that is,

'Get comfortable
with being uncomfortable'.

And there are multiple ways
to determine whether recruits,

or people who want to be seals,
are comfortable in the water.

Today you will experience
one of those many,

it is called the Beehive.

The Beehive combines claustrophobia,

a fear of water,

a fear of drowning,

all in one shot.

In a lost at sea scenario,

the recruits will first
be plunged deep into cold water.

As the task's name suggests,

they'll be forced to swarm together
like bees,

treading water while fighting off
the fear of drowning.

As a Seal, you'll find yourself
in plenty of situations

where you think you're just gonna
drown right then and there.

But if you let
that panic consume you,

then it will sure as hell
get you killed.

Alright. As I say go,
you will enter the tank, OK?

You will enter the centre
and you'll start treading water.

OK, you ready? Go.

Go.

But in the task,
designed for failure,

where no recruit
can tread water indefinitely,

the DS are looking to see
who will maintain composure,

and who will be first to panic.

You could be the strongest swimmer,
and really struggle on the Beehive.

If one recruit panics,

and grabs one of the other recruits,

you know, they could

potentially pull them under.

This is the Beehive,
get it in tight.

Fucking move!

Come on, come on, come on.
Closer.

The space that they need
to tread water is decreasing.

Get in tight. Remain calm.

Closer and closer.
Smaller and smaller.

Calm down!

(CHATTERING)

In their eyes is sheer panic.

Calm down!

No, no, no. Get in tight.

Come on. Get in tight.

Remain calm.

One of you panics, everyone panics.

That overwhelming sense of panic,

that state of not being in control
of my emotions,

is something that I know
has been a weakness of mine.

Get in the centre.

Get in there. Get in tight.

Be comfortable with discomfort.

Ignore the noise.

The distraction.
The claustrophobia.

Calm it the fuck down.

After five terrifying minutes
treading water,

desperately trying to stay afloat,
the recruits are rapidly tiring.

Get in there.

Number 11, Simone,

is barely managing to keep
her head above water.

For me, when it comes to anything
to do with water,

it's just so terrifying.

You feel like you cannot move,
you can't breathe.

Literally paralyses you
from the inside out.

Calm down, you're drowning
each other.

If you quit, you go to the side
right here.

Number 11!

Unable to continue,

Simone is the first to go
to the safety of the tank's edge.

Don't let the panic set in,
get in there.

Number 14, Rugby 7s Olympian,
Ellia Green,

is slipping below the water line.

Being claustrophobic,
that confined space scares me.

But I'm definitely
most afraid of water.

Move. Keep moving, get up here.

I panic every time.

ANT: Number 14, let's go.

Sinking fast,

DS Stotty drags number 14, Ellia,
to the tank's edge.

One by one, four more recruits
take refuge from the Beehive.

All of you, come out here.

Including number 17, Michael,

unable to cope with the task,
and a debilitating shoulder injury.

Right, you lot, come with me. Move.

As the first recruits
to give in to panic,

Ant punishes them with a beasting.

Lie on your backs,
feet above the ground!

While the others remain
struggling in the Beehive.

OLLIE: If you can't fucking do it,
get the fuck out.

Stop pretending that you can.

CLINT: Get in tight. Get in tight.

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

Six inches above the ground!

You're gonna wish you were back
in that fucking tank.

Number 11.
I can't do it.

You fucking can do it,
and you will do it.

Because there is no way out.

My track record would suggest
that I do not,

do well with pain.

I am, like, I'm scared
of hurting myself.

This is not a fucking quit exercise.

Get your fucking feet
six inches above the ground.

They're suffering in there,

and guess what
we're gonna do out here?

Exactly the same.

As the beasting continues...

Keep going. Keep it here,
keep it here...

..the remaining recruits in the tank

have been battling
panic and exhaustion

for an excruciating ten minutes.

OK, everybody to the side,
everybody to the side.

Go, go, go, go.

When you get to the side,
get out and join the team.

As DS Clint gives them
a much needed break.

Get up, get up, get up.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Towards me. Fucking move!

You lot, you can stand up
for a minute.

This is what you get
when you stay calm,

you don't panic, you get a bit
of fucking rest.

When I say go, this ground stand up,

form a line, a rank
in front of that lot. Go! Move!

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Get used to being
amongst each other.

Get used to the panic and chaos,
'cause that is all it is.

It's self-induced panic and chaos.

It's just a bit of water.

Yes, it's cold. Yes, it's tough.

Yes, it fucking sucks.

Get in there and get the job done.

Right, compose yourselves.

You're now gonna have
a second exposure.

Wipe the fucking shift,
let's move.

On your Bergens.

Let's move!
On your Bergens.

Let's go, move.

It's day two of selection,

and the recruits have endured
a sickening test of self-control,

treading water and fighting panic.

Alright, so that was
treading water 101,

OK, you've had that experience.

Now we'll crank it up
to the next notch, OK?

So duty recruit,
please pass out the masks.

There, you guys can pass them out
to each other, OK.

Get 'em going.

And then once you're in,

you're going to fill the mask up
with water, and then reseal.

Water takes away sight,
and if they lean back,

it fills up their sinuses with water

which will stress them out more so.

Pick up your masks.

Go ahead and put 'em on.

Put your mask on,
you'll be fine, come on.

Don't let fucking water
make you want to quit.

But as the task intensifies,
number 14, Ellia, panics.

Look at me, look at me, look at me.

No. No. Look at me.

No. Look at me.

You get in that water

and you get straight to
the water's edge and you get out.

You commit every single time.

This is not your strength,
and guess what?

You commit to it anyway.

You jump into the water,
you do what you can.

Your strengths will fucking prevail.

You're sitting near the top
of this group at the moment.

None of that.

Get a grip of yourself, look at me.

OK? No.

Let's go.

Psychologically, this is
where the test is.

We will strip away everything,

then we will see if you've got
the psychological resilience

to get through each and every day.

This is gonna make you stronger,
do you know that?

Stick with it.

The fear of the unknown,
the fear of suffering.

The fear of not being good enough.

How are you gonna cope with that?

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go. Go.

STOTTY: To the centre, tight.

I've always been very determined
in my career and my sport.

There were definitely times
where I thought that,

"This is too much. It's too hard."

But I did it.

Alright, listen up here,
everybody look up here.

Fill up your masks, and then reseal.

Do it.

Fill the mask up with water.

I do not want to see a level line.

You know, this is all about growth

and discovering my true self,

and I'm willing to go to places

that scare the shit out of me
to find that out.

While Ellia recommits to the task...

Breathe out of your mouth.

..other recruits gasp for air,

as water filled masks block
their vision and ability to breathe.

Get in the middle.
Breathe through your mouth.

Show us that
you've learned something.

Get in tight.

Remain calm.

We will expose all of your
weaknesses on this course.

For you to embrace.

Get in the middle.

Let's fucking go. Go!

After another excruciating
five minutes in the tank,

number 17 can go no further.

His shoulder injury
is too much to bear.

17. Get out and come with me.

On selection, we have injuries
all the time.

You will keep going till
you can't go any more.

That decision isn't yours.

It's ours.

Unable to continue,
and in intense pain,

Chief Medic, Doctor Dan,
needs to assess number 17.

So you've strained that pec before

and it feels like
you've done that again?

Yes, that's right, and it's a lot
worse this time, I think.

It's right through.

It goes down my back into my neck,
down my lower back.

Yeah.

What do you reckon you can,
where do you feel it most?

Underneath here.

(GROANS)
That's giving you grief, is it?

Alright.

It's just pins and needles
down my whole arm.

OK.

It's in my back, shoots through
my back and into my neck as well.

Since yesterday it's just been
getting worse and worse.

This is not going to get any better
on this course.

I think you know that already.

Yep.

And if it's at this stage
on day two of the course...

I can see that
you're highly motivated.

I don't want to give up, man.
I'm a fighter.

I know that.
It's an impossible choice.

I've given my whole life to boxing.
Eating, sleeping.

It's become an addiction to me.

And that's what it takes
to be number one.

(SIGHS)

No worries.

I'll give my number in.

Thanks, Dan.

Succumbing to his injury,

pro boxer Michael is forced to
medically withdraw from the course.

Staff.

Are you done?
Sorry, staff.

When do you think you tore it?

Uh, it was on the first day.

You tore it on the first day.

Gutted for you.

I'm gutted for you because I know
you would've gone far on this.

I never wanted to give up.
But, listen.

You've got nothing to prove.

All you need to do
is get healed now.

Sort yourself out,
get back on track.

Make sure that it's done
properly, OK?

You've got an amazing career
in front of you.

Do you know what I mean?
You're an amazing fighter.

I appreciate that, thank you, staff.

Listen. Your time will come again.

Thank you again, staff.
Pleasure, brother.

Thank you so much.
Much love, brother.

Thank you so much.

Having to quit 'cause of an injury
is the worst feeling in the world.

I'm super sad.
I'm holding back tears.

I didn't want to go out this way,
you know.

Yeah, even Ant said he was looking
forward to seeing me at the end.

Fingers crossed I come back
and give it another crack.

I think I'm out of my depth.

Ellia's tragic past revealed.

He had my mum in a chokehold,

and he was gonna hit her
with a brick.

I said, "Hit me. Do it.
Just do it."

(CRACKING SOUND)

Oh.
BARRY: Oh, no.

WOMAN: Oh, no.

How the fuck's that happened?

It's how you're treating
your bed, mate.

Take Mike's.

Fuckin'.

Fuck, is that keeled over,
fucked again?

(LAUGHS) I can't help but laugh.

I've got to stop sitting on fuckin'
this side of the bed.

Why isn't yours collapsing?
You're the same weight as me.

Oh. Are you flopping on it?

No, it's when they get up.

I didn't flop.

I feel like fucking Nutty Professor.

(LAUGHTER)

I hope Mick doesn't come back.

(LAUGHTER)

He's lost his blanket,
he's lost his bed.

OLLIE: Can someone go
and get number 14?

MAN: 14, DS wants you.

Oh, god.

Having panicked
during the previous task,

the DS have questions
for number 14, Ellia Green.

What's wrong?

I think I'm out of my depth.

I think it's obvious, you're pretty
hard on yourself, right?

We're so used to playing
to our strengths, aren't we?

Then, boom.

Weakness comes along.

Talk me through that,
what was going through your head?

Like, that was like...

Like impossible in my mind.

You fucking done it, number 14.

You done it.

We've told you to go back
in the water,

you went back in the water.

You done it.

How is it impossible
if you don't try?

How is it impossible
if you don't commit?

I want to do it

'cause I don't want to let you down,

and I don't want to
let the team down.

I don't want to let myself down.

Where does that come from?

Probably my mum.

My mum always raised me, like,

"If you're gonna
do something, do it.

"Don't think about
how sad things are,

"how hard things are.

"If you have something to get done,
you've got to do it."

Talk to me about your mum, then.

So during my like,
time growing up, she...

Where did you grow up,
first of all?

Are you Australian?
I was born in Fiji.

Fiji, nice.

And then I was adopted
and moved over to Australia.

Hit the jackpot, they are the most
beautiful loving parents.

And then, yeah.

It all kind of turned around.

My father passed away.

My mum was just grieving for ages.

My brother and I would just
watch her cry and cry and cry,

all the time.

Yeah.

And then, she fell into
a violent relationship.

I bet that was tough.

Would you witness it?

Oh, it's every week,
all the time. Yeah.

I think I was around six years old

when the abuse started to happen.

There was one situation where
he had my mum in a chokehold,

and he was gonna hit her
with a brick.

I was holding my mum's hand
and I said,

"Hit me, like, hit me.
Do it, just do it."

And he wouldn't do it.

And what happened with
that relationship?

We ran away.

I was finishing year seven when
my mum decided we had to leave.

You know, it was all very secretive.

I had no idea what was
going on at the time.

All I knew was that
we were running scared.

But I knew that it was gonna be
a different life.

Yeah. But that's where
I decided to take up rugby,

and found the perfect sport,
'cause I could unleash my anger.

Every time I carry the ball,

I literally just think of, like,

everything that's hurt me.

Be careful with that.

'Cause that can veer off very
quickly into a negative spiral.

That makes sense.
No, I understand.

In 2018, it was
the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games,

and like, my worst dream
was coming to life.

My mum had been diagnosed
with lung cancer.

I'd never been more scared
in my life since losing my mum.

Mum always just gave me
so much reassurance

that I was this great, fit,

strong, and clever person,

that when I lost her,
I just lost all of that.

Every time you face your fear,
you take a layer off of it. Alright?

The more layers you take off,

the more you start to understand
about that emotion.

'Cause you're getting closer
and closer to the inside of it.

OK?
OK. I understand, yeah.

And that's what it's about.

It's about your fears
and repeating the process.

So what I want you to do
is commit to it.

Commit to yourself.

Commit to your fears.
Commit to your weaknesses.

Because they are going to pop up.

High hopes for you.

Chill out a little bit, OK,
on yourself.

Does that make sense?
Yes, staff. Yes.

Guard!

Tough one.

This course is gonna take me
to places where I have never been.

My body to lengths
that I have never been in,

and mentally, it's gonna
challenge me massively.

So to actually make it
through to the end,

and overcover all of those fears,

doubts, and negative thoughts,

would be a massive accomplishment.
