FOXY: Stop (BLEEP) fighting me.

(HEAVY BREATHING)

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

This course isn't designed
for 99% of the population.

It's designed for that 1%.

We're not looking for the fastest...

Don't (BLEEP) move.

..Or the strongest.

We're looking for
the thinking soldier.

Go!

Stay your ass down, otherwise
it's going to get (BLEEP) shot off.

18 celebrity recruits...

Strip.

..volunteered to leave
their glamorous lives behind.

(YELLS)

They endured the most torturous test
of SAS selection.

Give me your (BLEEP) number
and this misery can end for you.

And one by one...

I'm crying because I want to stay.

..it broke them down.

I'm a liability to the team.

I've given my all, sir.

..until only five remain.

At the end of the day,

the decision is based
on one question.

Would I have this person by my side
on the battlefield?

Go!

The toughest test of their lives...

(EXPLOSIONS)

Come on, keep coming!

Gas, gas, gas.

..comes to a heart-stopping
conclusion.

(SIREN WAILING)

(HEAVY BREATHING)

Prepare for hell.

Go!

I need to come back to my family
more complete.

I know that I have it inside of me.

I'm giving everything.

I want my kids to think that
maybe mum's a little bit cool.

This is going to test me
beyond anything I've ever done.

I've never ever seen
a woman do that.

(LAUGHS)

I've set the intention.

I'm there to do a job,
I'm going to do it.

Ahh!

(YELLING)

It's me at the end,
it'll be like I've won again.

If you really want something,
you can make it happen.

I really believe that.

Not all of you
have passed the course.

Who has done enough
to pass SAS Selection?

Now that we're all here guys,

I just want to say
thank you for everybody

and we all gave it 100%
and that's all we can do.

So it's a pleasure, guys.

Thank you.

It's the final 36 hours
of SAS selection...

Oi, I've gotten fitter
on this course, aye.

..and the five remaining recruits
are on root back to base camp,

after completing the most physically
gruelling task on the course so far.

Go!

Come on.

A brutal assault course

which pushed them all
to their absolute limit.

(COUGHS)

And now, having outlasted
13 other celebrity recruits...

You're a resilient (BLEEP), Mark,
I'll give you that bro.

I told you, I told you
from the start.

I'm not going to be fast
but I'm not going to stop.

..they prepare themselves
for the final leg of the course.

I took the course because

I've made some poor choices
in my private life.

I got into the habit of drinking.

I wasn't addressing the pain
that I was in.

And it was eating me alive.

Every morning I'd wake up thinking,
"I want to go back to football.

"I want to go back to work."

So I quit drinking alcohol which
cleaned everything up in my life.

And then got me in a good mind-set
to get through the course

and it kicked me onto
the next phase of my life

and just take it from here.

We've got a bit of work to go, guys.

A lot of work to go.

To make it to the end of the course
would be absolutely amazing.

The next bit is up to our heads.

I'm very driven.

I'm very caring and loving
with my children and my family,

and that's what drives me when
it comes to success and goals.

It would be pretty special to have
someone like the DS actually say,

"Physically and mentally,
you've got what it takes."

Dan, did you say something about

that you've gone as far
as you can go?

Uh... No, no I'm not quitting.

Yeah, good.
Don't be saying that shit.

I'm going to finish it.

I have trained really hard
for roles.

I'm really great at my
mental health, spiritual health.

Come what may.

Michael Jordan never gets to a game
and says,

"I think I would like
to win this game."

He's going to win the game.

So I am going to pass SAS selection.

But bracing themselves
for what still lies ahead,

the recruits are on edge as they
fear the worst is yet to come.

Something doesn't seem right, man.

Yeah.
Yeah.

He's going hella fast too.

People down here.

People down here on the left.

There's something happening.

Shit.

(EXPLOSIONS AND GUNSHOTS)

OK, get out, get out,
get out, get out.

Get down, get down on the ground,
get down.

Get back here, get back here.

Captured and detained by hostiles,

here, phase one
of final selection begins.

Get down, right now!

The recruits must engage
the thinking soldier mind-set.

You with me, let's go.

Absorbing crucial details
of their surroundings,

including the hostiles.

Hands on your head.

Hands up.

Now blindfolded to confuse
and disorientate them,

their sense of smell and sound
will be critical.

Let's go, (BLEEP) walk!

When you get captured,

the easiest thing to do
is to switch off,

head down, just do
as your captors say.

Let's go, come on.

But that information at that moment
of capture is vital.

Keep it moving.

Where are you?

How many people have you seen?
How many voices have heard?

You in the front, get down.

Insigne, noises.

Keep your (BLEEP) heads down
in front of ya.

What sort of smells?

Everything builds up
an intelligence picture.

Foxtrot, this is Sierra one.

We are two minutes
from your location, over.

Copy, Sierra one,
we have the package, over.

Under extreme stress and duress,

when you think your life
is at stake,

can you ignore all of that
and take on valuable information?

Alright head down, let's go.

This is where you start outwitting
and outsmarting the enemy.

And that's why it takes
such a unique person.

Hoods down.

That's why it takes a thinking
soldier to pass selection.

The recruits are being
returned to base

where they will be interrogated
by the DS...

Move!

..one by one.

Hurry up.

They will need to recall pivotal
information about the ambush.

Hands on your hand.

Because at the end of interrogation,

one recruit will be culled
from the course.

You are being guarded,

if you try and escape,
you will be shot dead.

Move!

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

First to undergo questioning
is number four Jana Pittman.

The location where you ambushed,
describe it to me.

Um, bush path, we were driving
in a vehicle, flat grass as well.

You were grabbed
by a number of people.

How many of each?

There was definitely one woman...

WOMAN: Get down, right now!

..and three or four men.

They have any insignia
on their clothing?

Not that I saw.

What was the holding location?

What did it look like?

I couldn't see, I had
a balaclava thing on my head.

You couldn't see anything at all?

I could see my feet.

So we walked through a gate
and then we were turned around...

..and then I could smell someone
smoking a cigarette or something.

Who could you hear talking?

A female voice.

She was saying,
"We have the package."

Was she talking on a radio?

She sounded like she was talking
on a walkie-talkie or radio.

She must of spoken to someone
that had a call sign,

what was the call sign?

Foxtrot, this is Sierra one,

we are two minutes
from your location, over.

Copy, Sierra one,
we have the package.

"We have the package."

No, but surely there's a call sign.

If she's on the radio,

I can only presume that
they were military types.

They're not just going to say,
"Hi, how's it going?"

Let me think for a sec, um...

Not that I remember.

Unable to recall crucial
intelligence on the hostiles,

number four Jana is returned
to the holding cell.

She was fairly nervous.

Didn't get the insignia.

And didn't get
the call signs either.

But all in all, not a bad effort.

No, not bad. She was good, mate.

Let's go, come on.

Next to be questioned is
number 14, John Steffensen.

Don't (BLEEP) move.

So you were ambushed, what happened?
Talk to me about the walk.

(TAKES DEEP BREATH)

Well, we shuffled through
different sorts of terrain...

..then we got to a gate.

What happened at the gate?

I then heard a radio call,
"The car is two minutes away."

No call signs, no names used?

There was Fox was used.

Foxtrot, this is Sierra one.

When they first came,

a couple of the males
had tattoos on their hands.

OK, here we go, that's a start.

What do they look like?

On his left hand, there was
writing on his left hand.

And what was the writing?

I don't know what the writing was.

Get (BLEEP) out of here.

Like Jana, John also faltered
on the critical details

and returns to the holding cell,

unaware if he's done enough
to avoid being cut

from this phase of the course.

He got the tattoos,
but he didn't get the spelling,

but at least he identified
it was on a left hand.

Let's go.

Now recruit number 16,
Sam Burgess...

..and number 11, Mark Philippoussis,
will face interrogation.

You were then transported.

Yeah.

How?

In a minivan, in a white minivan.

White minivan?

So could you see?

I could see, yeah.

OK, what type of vehicle was it?

Um...

Military, civilian?

Um...

I'm not exactly sure.

Listen to me, I need detail.

Um, originally I thought
it might of been a truck,

but once I got inside, the seats
were very soft and cushiony.

Any particular (BLEEP) senses
in the vehicle, any smells?

Uh, petrol, yeah. Petrol, yeah.

Um, I didn't smell anything.

How long were you driving for?

Sorry?

To your next destination, how long?

It, it, it, um...

How (BLEEP) long were you
travelling?

An hour.

Um, well, the towns from...

Just get rid of him. (BLEEP) hell.

No, no.
Shut up.

Number 11, you don't know
how to take him at times, do you?

He's just like totally
in his own world.

Then he was floundering around.

Yeah.
You know what I mean?

It just took him ages.
Yeah.

16.

He got the petrol
and a one hour car journey.

Mate, you almost think that
he's this brute with no brain,

but he's got (BLEEP) brain,
do you know what I mean?

Come on, let's move it!

The final recruit to be hauled in
for questioning

is number nine, Dan Ewing.

Pull your seat in.

How'd you get here?

How'd you get here?

I was brought here.

How?

For a fundraiser, in a car.

Are you (BLEEP) thick?

I felt, I felt...

Are you thick? That's the question.

That's the (BLEEP) question,
are you thick?

I'm not thick. I'm just an actor.

I don't give a (BLEEP) what you guys
have got going on, I don't care.

Misunderstanding the purpose
of being questioned...

Were you taken?
How did you get here?

How did you get here?

..Dan isn't cooperating.

And instead draws upon
his acting background

by inventing a cover story.

I don't give a shit what you guys
have got going on.

Shut the (BLEEP) up.

Listen to my (BLEEP) lips

'cause you're really starting
to piss me off.

Where were you ambushed?

Explain the ambush site to me.

What did you see? Where were you?

Were you in a (BLEEP) vehicle?
Were you on foot?

Do you understand me?
Yes, yes.

We were in a vehicle.

And what happened?

We got out of the vehicle.

Finally realising his error
in judgement...

What were these people wearing,
the ambushers?

Black balaclavas.

..Dan drops the act
and begins to play ball.

I heard a female voice.

You heard a female voice.
Yes.

And she used a call sign
like in the military.

What call sign?

Definitely foxtrot,
I heard her say foxtrot.

Where were you held?

In a van, I assume.

Do you know where
you got in the van?

It felt like a side door
that I entered from,

and I was moved back
to a single seat.

I felt that because
my right leg was...

I don't give a (BLEEP)
about your right leg.

Now get this (BLEEP) piece of shit
out of my site.

Despite infuriating the DS...

(BLEEP), stop fighting me,
you (BLEEP) prick.

I'm not trying to,
I'm not trying to.

Move!

..Dan still managed to answer
questions correctly.

That's all of them in the chair.

All five of them.

But not everyone will make it
through this phase of selection.

I think that we should

have a serious conversation
about a cull right now.

Yeah.

Let's go, come on!

As the DS move the surviving four
into the parade square,

one recruit is taken back
to the interrogation room

to be instantly removed
from the course.

We cull people more to do with
how they deal with things mentally

and their approach
to certain parts of the task.

It's not personal,

it's just, you're not
right for this job

and we make that decision.

Right, number nine, you can relax.

We're obviously moving
into the new phase

and there are only
a certain number of recruits

that we can take forward.

To that end, you will not be
going forward to the next phase.

Your time is over.

Thank you.

Last non-athlete standing.

Got a few battle scars.

Mate, good effort.

Thank you so much.

Well done, mate.

Amazing effort.

Top man.

Absolutely top man.
Thank you, staff.

How you feeling?

Honestly, I came into this course
in a really good place.

Yeah, good.
A really good place.

But the surprise to me was all
that stuff that you guys pinpointed.

You hit it on the head,
that I'd locked away.

It's that controlled aggression,

and I know when I used it
and I know when I didn't.

So you gotta,
the balance is something

that I really surprised myself
when I learned here.

It's a funny one 'cause it's almost
letting yourself be yourself.

'Cause out there,
we do have to suppress it.

You can't go around being
this person or that person

Because it's not accepted
in society.

But here, you have to be
who you are in the military

because if you're not,

then that person
you're trying to hide behind

comes out at the wrong time.

Mm.

Dan Ewing before selection,

was putting ego in a box,
locking it up.

It's been an absolute pleasure
having you on the course.

I've learned there are
certain times, certain worlds,

especially in the SAS world,

that maybe you need
a little bit of that,

but it's got to be controlled,

and that's why these guys
are the best in the world.

Staff, if you dare,
step into my world.

I'll take you up on that.

So I tip my hat
to members of the SAS,

military, servicemen and women,

and I'm very excited
to see what's next.

Dan Ewing is the 14th recruit
to leave the course.

Now, only four remain.

After careful consideration,

you four will continue onto
the final stage of this course.

Well done.

However, prepare yourselves

for the real nightmare
that's about to come.

Prepare for hell.

Go, move!

Gas, gas, gas.

Let's go, come on!

A colossal task
forces Jana to falter.

I honestly don't know how much
I can push this 38-year-old,

mother of four body.

And later, who will pass
SAS selection?

Two eggs each.
Yeah, I (MUMBLES), yeah.

Johnny, you got your eggs, darl?

We'll bring this over
to the table for.

Thanks, thanks.

Yeah.

It's the final day on the course,
and the four remaining recruits...

Start saying a prayer, just wow.

Oooh.

..are visibly exhausted.

This is going into the final phase

where they will be absolutely
on the bones of their arse.

I've never been this tired
in my life. (CHUCKLES)

They will be completely drained,
physically and emotionally.

I'm not just saying this
because I'm a girl and weak,

but if I don't make it through today
because of physical fitness,

I've loved being with you guys
and I'm going to do my 100% best

to be there at the end of the day.

Jana, I'm not accepting that.
I'm just completely spent, so...

I'm not accepting that.

This is where we see them
dig deep into their reserve.

Just give me one last push, alright?

100%. I will not
leave anything left.

This is it, it's do or die.

I need to just prove
my mind is fine,

it's just my physical fitness.

Number four.

Both physically
and emotionally exhausted,

number four, Jana, along with
all her fellow recruits...

I've not been in here before.
(LAUGHS)

..will be offered the opportunity

to make a phone call home
to loved ones.

Alright. A bit of a moral boost.

Yep.

Whether they choose to or not...

Just a couple of minutes.

.is entirely up to them.

That's going to make me cry.

Seeing if the recruits
will phone home

is for us to get an understanding
of their emotional state

which is vital for us moving into
the final stages of the course.

That can be your motivation,

but it is a double-edged sword,

because if you can't handle
that emotional state,

then it can greatly
weaken your resolve.

Oh, hello.

Hi, look there's Charlie.

Hi, Charlie.
Hi, Mum.

(LAUGHS) How are you, darl?

Hi, buddy.

I'm doing fine. How are you going?

Oh, I'm just hanging in there.

Excellent.
Yeah.

Well, Charlie's been
as good as gold.

He's got chubbier cheeks.

Oh, yes. He's been having
a lot of bottles.

A lot of bottles.
And having solids.

Yeah. Yeah, hello, my Charlie.

Hi, Mum. So good to see you, Mum.

Yeah, hello.

I almost forgotten
what you look like, Mum.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, I bet.
It's been a long time.

Hi, Charlie. Hi, bubba.

Oh, you're very serious today.

There you go.

There you go. Hello, darling.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, bubba.

You're so cute and so chubby.

Can he sit at all, or has he got
a tooth or anything?

He has been teething
and nothings come through yet.

So, so placid and happy
at the moment.

Is he? Oh, that's so good.

So it hasn't been too hard on him?

No, he's been great.

I miss you so much.

We can't wait for you to come home.
Can't wait for you to come home.

I'm dying to see you. (LAUGHS)

I'm dying to see you too, Mum.

I love you.

I love you, Paul.
Bye.

The next recruit to be given
the chance to call family...

Now to call home.

..is number 11, Mark Philippoussis.

(SIGHS)

Hi, guys.

Hi, my love.

I miss you.

I love you guys.

Hey, Nicholas.

Daddy's OK.
He's just, he misses you guys.

Hello, daddy.
Hey, my champion.

Hi, beautiful boy.

I miss you.
I miss you too.

Daddy's so happy to see you,
he's crying, that's all.

My beautiful princess
and my champion.

We're so proud of you.

We keep counting the days like,
"Maybe today he's coming home."

I've gone through the toughest times
in my life because of my family.

I got through because I needed
to be there for my family.

I got through because I needed
to be there for someone else.

I'm so proud of you.

Are you helping mummy
and taking care of your sister?

Yeah, yes.

Good boy, my love. Good boy.
I'm so proud of you.

I can't wait to hug you.

I can't wait to give you guys
the biggest hug.

When you are coming home?

I'm coming home soon. I promise.

It's the toughest times
when I had to find something,

a little piece inside of me
that can just get me through it.

99.9%, it was my family.

It's my kids because that's
the most important thing in my life.

I love you guys.

So that's going to be
the same reason for this...

..and the reason why
I can't give my number in.

OK, take a seat.
Yeah.

Number 16 Sam,

is next to be offered
the chance to call home

to speak to his mum, Julie.

You've now got the opportunity
to make a phone call home.

Do we have to make a call, staff?

It's up to you, isn't it?

Alright, make sure
it's on video call, yeah.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Alright, I'm going to give you
a couple of minutes.

Alright, a bit of morale?

I'll do it, come on.

(CLEARS THROAT)

(PHONE RINGS)

Hello.

Oh, my god.

How you going? Alright?

You look so cool, I'm so excited.

Yeah, yeah. I just had a choice,

I just had a choice that
I could call you or not.

I thought I'm going to call you,
say hello.

Let you know I'm doing alright.
Yay.

Yeah, yeah. I've only got
a couple of minutes. So...

Yeah, yeah. Still there, yeah.

But it's been so hard.

Oh, it's been so hard.
It's been so hard.

Joining the SAS now, Sam?

No, maybe, I don't know.

Nah, these guys
are a different gravy.

But I've got,
so I reckon I've got... Yeah.

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

Yeah, thanks.
We talk about you all the time.

Well, tell the boys and the kids,
if you speak to them,

tell them all that I love 'em all.

Um...

No, no, they love you
and we love you,

and we've missed you.
Yeah, yeah.

And we're so proud of you.

I'm not done yet.

I've got a bit to go, yeah,
so I'll see you then.

Right to the end, right to the end.
Yeah, I will do. You know will.

You know I will.
(INAUDIBLE).

I'll be there.

Alright. Love you, see you, bye-bye.

Love you, Sam.

The last recruit to be given
the chance to call home...

Right, final phase is...

..is number 14, John.
Take a seat.

A bit of a morale booster for you.

OK, sit down.

I'm going to give you
a couple of minutes...

..to speak to your loved ones.

Make sure you press
the camera button

in the centre of those two, yeah.

Hey.

What do you want to do?

Talk to me.

No, thank you.
OK.

I like to stay focused
on finishing the job.

Staying focused on my task,

and I don't like to go
to those emotions.

I don't think I really draw well
off those emotions.

(SOBBING)

And I know for me,

I can't personally
take those emotions

when I feel like
I'm going into battle.

All good?
Yeah.

Come here. Mate.

You going to make it?

Yeah, of course, man.
You made it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, good, good, good.

You spoke to them?

Nah, nah, nah, nah.

You said no?

Yeah.
OK, cool.

Alright, darl.
We good, we good, we good.

Hey, man. It's nice to see
a bit of emotion, you know.

I like that, you know.

Tells me you're alive
in there, you know.

Nah, man.
Agreed.

Come on, it's a beautiful thing,
man. It's a beautiful thing.

Everyone's emotional state
is the heartbeat of who they are.

It doesn't matter who you are,

we make decisions based on emotion.

Being soft is not a bad thing.

And some recruits' emotional state

could lead to them not having
the mental robustness and resilience

to want to make it to the end.

Come on, move it!

With the end now less
than eight hours away,

the recruits head off to begin
phase two of final selection.

Let's go, Bergens on.

The final exercise is a culmination
of everything they've been taught.

Communication, teamwork,
courage, aggression,

we are scrutinising
absolutely everything.

Everything that you've been taught
on this course,

you must use during this mission.

Working in pairs,

the recruits will be dropped

into an active war zone
behind enemy lines.

Using their navigation skills,

they must locate a cache
containing valuable intelligence

before making their way
to an extraction point

where they'll be air lifted
to safety,

all within a strict
30-minute deadline.

The importance of this mission

is that you come out with
the information at all costs.

Is that understood?

ALL: Yes, staff.
Go.

Feet up into position.

Are you scared?

You (BLEEP) should be.

I'm a little bit scared, yeah.

My shoulder's cooked.

No (BLEEP) strength in me arm.

Don't (BLEEP),
you better have strength in your arm

otherwise you're
(BLEEP) (INAUDIBLE).

The first pair
to attempt the mission

is number 16, Sam Burgess,

and his partner,
number 14, John Steffensen.

The mission is quite simple.

Getting onto target,

extracting something
and getting off the target.

Go!

But it's the layers in-between
that we're really observing.

We're obviously now
in enemy territory.

We're in the confines
of the power station.

Look at where we are.

So that's that dome, that's those
two steam towers over there.

Yeah, spot on, spot on.

We're obviously in-between the dome
and the cooling tower.

We need to make our way
to this cache point.

It's a solid circular structure.

Right, let's move, 'cause we've got,
let's move quickly.

Under constant scrutiny
from DS Foxy...

Do a little direction
of where you think the cache is.

Over there.

..teamwork and communication

will be vital for Sam and John
to pass the mission.

Yeah, OK, cool. Yeah, yeah.

It's important for the DS
to be each team.

See look here,
south of the cooling tower.

It's down that forest.

Because we're ultimately
assessing them

on everything that they've learned.

So we're going to follow
this tree line all the way up.

Already working together,
Sam and John power ahead.

You good, brother?

Good boy, come on.

Meanwhile, preparing for insertion

are recruits number 11, Mark,
and his teammate number four, Jana.

I think this is going to test me
beyond anything I've ever done.

Partially because it's different
from the sport I did.

Grab the rope, go!

'Cause this is
every type of fitness,

strength, mental resilience,
endurance,

and I am not trained
in all of those areas.

I've had a lot of injuries
and issues with my body.

I'm 38, I'm getting older.

You know, I had baby
six months ago as well.

Alright, drop.

I also want my kids to think that
maybe Mum is a little bit cool.

They certainly don't believe
I was a bobsledder

and they don't think
I'm very cool being a doctor.

So I would love it
if they worked out one day

that Mum conquered the course

and was a bit resilient
and a bit special.

Woo. Woo-hoo.

That was amazing.

Gas, gas, gas.

Which recruit...

I can't breathe in here.

Hurry up.

..is next to be culled?

It's the final hours
of SAS selection.

Alright, drop.

And after of being dropped into
a simulated active war zone...

That was amazing.

..recruits Jana and Mark...

There's a circular type structure,
that's where we need to go.

..and Sam and John...

Remember, it's in the middle.

(CROSS-TALKING)

We got to find an opening.
Let's go around.

..are in the middle
of a combat exercise

to locate and recover a cache.

This, it's right in the middle.

Which contains a USB holding
crucial intelligence information.

Watch out for booby traps.
Yeah, I got it.

You need to get to that cache

and get it back
to the extraction point.

Mark, wait up, mate.

Working in pairs...

Come on then, quickly, let's get
that stowed away in a Bergen.

..their teamwork and communication
skills are put to the test.

Come on then, keep going,
keep your wits about you.

Remember, we've got enemy
on our tail now.

Yeah.

So we're going to follow this
tree line all the way up.

Making pace towards
the extraction point

which is still over 2km away.

Number 16, Sam,
is already taking the lead.

We're not at the edge
of the tree line yet.

It's towards the end
of the tree line.

See the top of the hill,
top of the hill.

I always believe in myself.

I think it's an important quality.

Come on, we're nearly there.

You've got to have a will
to be better or improve yourself.

That's what I've always
tried to do in my career,

I've tried to encourage
throughout my teams.

Come on Steffen, let's go.

Come on, mate, keep following me.

I'm hoping that I relight that fire

that's always been inside of me
since a young kid

'cause it's been put out, I'd say,
over the last 18 months.

I also want to win back
my own respect to myself.

I want to be able to look myself
in the eyes

and just, you know, "I'm back."

Like the real me again.

Meanwhile...

Round circular structure.

..Jana and Mark discover
the location of the cache.

It's nice and shallow.

Working quickly and silently
to retrieve it.

Pass it to me.

You need to get that intelligence,
get it back to the RV.

But fast running out of time,

they will need to operate
strongly as a team

if they are to successfully
complete the mission

and avoid being culled
from the course.

Let's go, let's go, come on.

I've got the USB.

At this point, we're looking
for people to support each other.

You behind me?

I'm right behind you.
OK.

You've got to imagine the recruits
are absolutely depleted,

mentally and physically.

They have nothing more to give.

Mark, I'm just going to walk fast,
I am coming, I promise.

But that's where we want to see
what they've got.

I can power walk all day.

You're going to walk, are you?
(BLEEP) ten minute window

to a helicopter, to freedom,
to your families?

Do you think you'd be
walking for real?

(BLEEP), I wouldn't.

I'm really hoping
I make it all the way,

but I honestly don't know how much

I can push this 38-year-old,
mother of four body.

Your whole body
is screaming at you to stop

and you have to actually ignore it
and break that pain barrier.

If I get to that point,

am I going to be prepared to do
what I did when I was an athlete?

'Cause it's going to take that.

I'm hoping on the days
where I just want to pull out,

and I just want to go home
to the babies,

I draw on that and say,

"Well, you've got a choice,
you can pull out now,

"and no one's going
to judge you for it

"because you won't judge yourself
and that's fine.

"But give it one more go.

"Try that little bit harder."

Because I can draw on
who I am as a person.

I'm a wife, I'm a doctor, I'm a mum.

I'm a wife, I'm a doctor and a mum.

And that's what I've got
to hold on to.

Mark, take the USB in case
you need to go without me.

Come on.

Despite digging deep
into her reserves,

Jana is running on empty,
struggling to keep up.

11, hold there.

We're going to rest
when the mission is over.

And her teammate Mark
isn't helping...

11.

..by leaving her behind.

Hold there.
Sorry, staff.

There's two of you remember, 11,
you do this together.

This is (BLEEP) oppos,
this is everything.

Alright?

You came in together,
you go out together.

It's not how we start,
it's how we finish.

Come on, let's go.

If we don't make that window,

the helo will lift off and we'll be
left in a world of shit.

(INAUDIBLE) over there?
Stay behind me.

Coming, staff.

(EXPLOSIONS AND GUNSHOT)

Let's go, come on.

Now, engulfed by enemy gunfire...

Let's move, let's move!

..and a torrent of gas.

Gas, gas, gas!

Gas, gas, gas!

Mask on.

..Sam and John are in a blind rush,

to reach the extraction point
and be airlifted to safety.

Top of the dome, you've got
stair steps there. Let's go!

And with time against them...

Come on then, up you go.

This helicopter cannot stay here
for much longer, move!

..number 14, John, relies
on pure grit and mental stamina...

Come on push forward,
keep going, 14.

..as his body begins to shut down.

My whole career as an athlete,
there's still a want for that.

Move!

This course is very similar
to racing at Olympic Games.

It's me against the world.

I'm out there by myself,
the gun goes bang,

I gotta perform, right?

Alright, staff, I'm moving.

Can I still do that?

Let's go, quick!

I did that for 13 years
of my career.

Can I still do that now?

Come on.

I was uncomfortable as an athlete.

You're never comfortable
being a champion.

I want to be uncomfortable.

I want to become the best
John Steffensen can be.

Now hold onto each other's arms.

Enjoy it, enjoy it, enjoy it.

Wow, man,
what a life experience, bra.

Back on the ground...

Come on, number four.

Come on. Let's go.

Walk please, walk it please.

..number four, Jana,
is reaching breaking point.

Mark, wait.

But teammate Mark
refuses to slow down.

Come on, it's right there,
look at it.

Come on, everything you've got now.

(GUNSHOTS AND EXPLOSIONS)

Come on. Let's keep coming!

At the end of this task,
they are definitely at their limit.

Let's go.

You gotta dig deep, deep, deep
to find the reserve.

You are not safe...

Gas, gas, gas!

Gas, gas, gas!

..until you're on that helicopter.

Come on. Hurry up.
I can't breathe in here.

You have got two minutes, let's go.
As fast as you can.

Do not miss this transportation.

The helicopter is about to go,
let's move, move!

With barely one foot
in front of the other...

Let's go!

Come on, number four.
Mark, wait.

Come on, come on.

..Jana is determined
to not give up...

I am coming, I promise.

..and finally reaches the top...

Number four head up, head up.

..with only seconds to spare.

At the end of my selection,

I remember just like the recruits
are going through now,

my final means of getting off
the task was by helicopter.

That's going on the back there, yep.

When I got onto the helicopter,
I'd given everything.

I'd left everything behind.

Ready, here we go.

Are you (BLEEP) kidding me?

And now your life is dangling
below a fast-moving aircraft.

It's petrifying.

Take us down.

What?
Let me down, let me down.

And then the cold air hit me.
I almost wanted to puke.

We're coming down,
we're coming down.

You feel like that is
your last breathe.

I was spent.

Having pushed his body to its limit,

number 14, John, has passed out
on final descent.

As DS Ollie rushes in to immediately
release him from the harness.

But quickly regaining
consciousness,

number 16, Sam, continues
to stand by his ailing teammate.

I'm proud of you, brother.

Proud of you, bro.

When you're down, you're cooked,
you've exhausted yourself.

What's up with you?
Ah, just asthma. Couldn't breathe.

It's a scary place to be.

You alright?
I couldn't breathe, yeah, up there,

harness on my chest
with asthma, (BLEEP).

But I'm not afraid
to go to that place.

Stand over there.

(PANTING)

As John takes a moment to recover...

Well done, Steffano.

..Mark and Jana
are descending nearby...

..and make a smooth landing
back to safety.

Oh, my balls.

But despite both teams successfully
completing the mission...

Well done, you all made it
out there, just.

..the DS must now decide
which recruits

will move on to the third
and final phase of selection.

Some of you will not
be coming forward.

When I call your number out,

you'll step out, you'll make
your way to that gate.

You will be on the next transport
to the next stage.

Number 16. Away you go, move.

Number 14, catch him up, move.

Unfortunately, some of you
will not be coming forward.

Number 16, you've passed this task.

Away you go, move.

Number 14, catch him up, move.

Number 11, move.

Unfortunately for you number four,
the war's over.

Thank you, staff.

Take your Bergen off,
give me your number please.

Outstanding effort.
Thank you, staff.

We are all super proud of you

and we would of loved
to have brought you forward...

..but your reserve is empty.

Yes, staff.

That 1% that you lacked
is over there,

but outstanding effort.

Well done.
Thank you.

You know, naturally,
I'm disappointed.

It would've been amazing
to have passed the SAS selection.

You did brilliant.

But I gave everything I had

and I've learned so much
on the course,

it's been an extraordinary journey,

and I tried as hard as I could to
match it with the boys. (CHUCKLES)

Well done.
Yeah. Thank you, staff.

Stay proud, stay good.

I was the last woman standing
for a while,

so just trying to show other women

how confident you can be
in overcoming fears

if you just let yourself go
and give it a real crack.

So, I'm really proud of all
the things that I've achieved.

It was pretty amazing

and I don't feel like
I've left anything on the ground.

Number four, Jana Pittman,

is the 15th recruit
to leave the course.

And now on the edge
of a dangerous cliff top,

the last three recruits
on the course...

The three of you stand here.

..Sam Burgess, Mark Philippoussis,
and John Steffensen,

will begin the third and final phase
of SAS selection.

This is it. It's do or die.

You're going to crawl along a rope.

When you get to the middle
which is marked by some black tape,

I will say stop and you drop,
and you (BLEEP) hang for dear life.

Suspended a terrifying
300m above a deep ravine,

it's the ultimate test of courage

to complete
the nerve-wracking crossing

before finding the mental
and physical resilience

to hang at full-arm extension
for a painful 90 seconds.

As in war,
only the strongest will survive

and ultimately determine
who will pass or fail selection.

I want absolutely everything
into what you're about to do.

And when I mean everything,

I mean every single emotion
that you can pull upon

to hold on an extra second

'cause if you don't,
you're (BLEEP) gone.

Number 14, go over to the DS
and get a harness on.

First to brave his final test
is number 14 John Steffensen.

I think the hang off is going to be
one of the most difficult things

that they do because of where it is
in the course.

It's right at the end.

If you ask them to do it
at the beginning, you'd be fine.

The pressure is not on whereas,
there's only a few of them left

and they know that everything hinges
on their performance on that rope.

So it's not just a physical battle,
it's a psychological one.

Start to lie on that rope.

Lie down, get your chest on.

The last couple of days
have been emotionally draining.

That's it, nice and steady now.
All the way to the centre.

Physically taxing,

and just an overall
roller coaster of feelings.

Euphoria, sadness, anxiety,

fear and surviving.

Good technique, use that leg more.

The hang off is designed for them

to leave absolutely everything
out on the ground.

All the way into the tape.

And your emotions, grit,
determination, aggression...

One more.

..it simulates leaving everything
on the battlefield.

That ultimate sacrifice.

Standby.

The hanging for dear life.

Hang!

For the next 90 seconds,

John must hang fully extended,
relying only on upper body strength

to hold his own body weight without
falling into the ravine below.

Everything you've got,
you leave on that rope.

You have a lot of time
to think here.

So if you've got any demons,

they're going to
highlight themselves

whether it's in a challenge,

whether it's dealing
with other people,

whether it's the pain.

You're going to have to deal
with your shit.

I'm taking so much away from this.

For my family and how
I want to live my life

and to reflect
and really deal with me.

I want to be a lot
less hard on myself.

Less hard on my kids,

because you can fail
but you can have a growth mind-set,

and you can learn from it
and not beat yourself up so much.

Stay there, stay there.

But to be there at the end,
it will be like I won again.

Come on, Johnny,
you know you can do this.

(YELLING)

Ah.

Ohhh.

Physically and mentally exhausted,

John successfully completes the task

and will now be considered
to pass selection.

That's quite emotional that.

You literally have your life
in your hands.

Emotions are OK.

Give me your hand.

I learned that today.

And that's lit,
I'm wrapped with that.

Move number 16, move.

Despite his obvious brute strength,

the last 24 hours
of relentless physical battering,

has caused Sam's crippling
shoulder injury to deteriorate...

(BLEEP) shoulder is cooked. (BLEEP)

..leaving him once again questioning

his mental resolve
to cope with the pain.

It's (BLEEP), my shoulder's (BLEEP).

My shoulder is as bad
as it can be, really.

Come forward.

The hang off is pushing
through pain.

Get your chest on.

Get your chest and your face
on the front.

Yeah. Ahh.

Digging deep, finding grit.

Having the determination
to hang in there.

There's certainly times

where you're lacking confidence and,

"Can I do that?
Is my body going to hold up?

"Will this work?"

I struggle hanging from things
above my head,

but the catch is my shoulder.

So I'm just going to give it my best

and I'll manage through the pain
as long as I can.

(GRUNTS)

Alright, stop there.

When I say hang, you hang.

Stand by.

Hang!

(GRUNTS)
(BLEEP).

It's the last phase
of the final selection...

Alright, stop there.

..and at a terrifying
300m above ground,

NRL star, Sam Burgess,

who is battling an agonising
shoulder injury,

is about to face his
most brutal challenge of all.

Hang!

(GRUNTS)

To mentally block out
the pain of his shoulder

and hang for the next excruciating
90 seconds.

Get into whatever zone you need
to get into and you hang there.

In the last two years,

I've made errors in my life
and I'm nowhere near perfect,

never claimed to be perfect.

My father would be so disappointed
with me with some things,

and that hurts.

You know, what I could is,

go back to the behaviours
that I live by,

the standards that my father
set for me

and be a better role model
for my kids,

for my brothers, for myself.

I believe there's always a way.

If you really want something,
you can make it happen.

I really believe that.

(GRUNTS)

There's going to be some stormy
weather in front of me again,

but I think I'm equipping myself
for the next chapter in my life.

With nothing but sheer grit
and determination,

Sam managed to bravely endure
his crippling shoulder pain

and can now be considered
for final selection.

The psychological side
of the whole course

reminded me how fortunate we are.

And don't want waste time
where you don't need to.

Being on track and be open.

Don't be scared to share
or say how you feel,

and tell the people around you
that you love them.

Straight up number 11, move.

The third and final recruit
to endure his test

is tennis legend,
Mark Philippoussis.

Forward, lie down onto it.

There you go, walk right
to the edge, more to the edge.

More, more, right to the edge.

Get your chest on the rope.

I came in here too stiff,
so robotic.

I overthought everything.

Get your arms in front of you.

Use your right leg as a push off.

I was putting
so much pressure on myself

instead of realising
it's a journey.

Keep going until your chest
is at the tape.

So emotionally, physically,
psychologically,

my mind-set has completely changed.

I just need to trust my instincts
and just let go.

Right, hold it there.

Get the grip.

Wait for it.

Hang!

(GRUNTS)

Like Sam and John before him,

Mark will need to hang
for the full 90 seconds

to be considered
for final selection.

If not, it's an instant fail

and immediate removal
from the course.

You leave everything on that rope.

I need to complete this.

I need to come back to my family

stronger and hungry
to achieve things.

I need to come back hungry
for a better life,

knowing that when that time comes,

I can sit next to my son

and show him that things
that you really want in life,

you're going to have to fight.

As long as you keep believing,

as long as you do not quit,

you can achieve anything
that you dream of.

Use every ounce of emotion
that you've got left.

Do not switch off now!

(GRUNTS)

I know that I have it inside of me
to achieve bigger things.

Managing, only just
to hold on long enough...

You OK?
Yes, yes.

..Mark Philippoussis
has completed the task

and is now in the running
to pass selection.

I'm going to continue
to give it 100%.

I've done that from the word go,
I'm going to continue to do that.

I'm going to go home.

I want to take my life
and my family's life

along with me to that other level.

Oh, man.

You three will stay here
until further notice.

Finally making it
to the end of the course,

all that remains is for the DS

to decide if any or all of them
will pass selection.

That was the final task.

Now let's calculate everything
that's happened from day one,

all the way to now.

In that final moment,

we take into account
absolutely everything from day one.

Everything is accounted for

and it's a hard decision to make,

but the decision is always based
on one question,

would I have this person by my side
on the battlefield?

That is the end of course.

That was the final task.

After a brutal fortnight,

surviving 13 VW's,

two recruit cuts

and 27 of the most punishing tasks

which pushed them all beyond
their physical and mental limits.

Sam,

John,

and Mark,

have finally reached the end.

Now the DS must decide who,
if any, will pass selection.

If we needed a fifth man
for our team,

who would you pick out
of them three?

Yeah, exactly.

The special forces is basics
done to a high standard,

determination, grit, courage,
but also the thinking soldier.

Number 11, it's taken him a bit
to stick with the curve.

So his weakness
is his mental state.

Who was the first recruit
to leave, number?

18.

(BLEEP) (LAUGHS) she's still here,
you (BLEEP) halfwit.

Physical, he, slow burner.

Starting to pick up
and he's just kept going.

He's been a steady plotter.

Doing the basics to a high level.

And he's very much
emotionally driven as well.

Number 16, I thought he'd just
rely on his physique,

but he's a smart, smart lad.

If you get a little lift there
at the back, it'll help us.

Stability and consistency.

Let's go.

He's managed it all together.

The mental and the physical
challenges.

Nothing's fazed him.

Made a few mistakes.

Stop!

Fail.

Everyone's (BLEEP) up.

He's been consistent.
And he is a thinking soldier.

He's got the brain and the brawn.

Number 14 is an absolute ox.

Get your head up, number 14,
head up, let go of each other.

Stand toe.

He was fairly fit at the start

but I think he's started
to peak towards the end.

(YELLING)

His mental state has wavered a lot.

Let's go, let's go!

Drop.

(BLEEP), silly.

There's (BLEEP) someone
dead in there.

No, you're too late.

How could we (BLEEP) that up?

We don't, John, John listen.

Sorry, Kerri.
Calm down.

Sorry. Sorry.
Yeah.

I'm pumped up.

To be fair, it was
a great effort by all.

So who passes this course?

Who's got the attributes
that we're looking for?

We've been emotionally
invested in these people,

we've been on the journey with them,
blood, sweat and tears.

And it's a hard decision to make.

We are now at the end of the course.

However, that doesn't mean
that you've passed.

We're not looking for brawn,
we're not looking for brain,

we're looking for
a combination of both.

You can take in information,

divulge it and execute
what needs to be done.

Teamwork, leadership, everything.

It's been a very hard discussion,
the one we've just had,

but we've come up with a decision.

When I call your number,
take a step back.

Number 11, take a step back.

Number 14, take a step back.

Number 16...

..you have successfully
passed this course.

Thank you, staff.
Well done.

Thank you.

Cheers.

You two, just that 1% that lacked.

Amazing effort from both of you.

You completed the course,

but only number 16
passed the course.

Well done, guys.
Thank you.

Well done.
Thanks for having me.

Well done.

Number 16, you were just
that level ahead.

Yeah, feeling a lot
of things, really,

a bit of emotion, joy,
it's been unbelievable.

I'm proud of you.

It was my goal.

My goal was to get to the end
and be selected,

and it was great
to achieve the goal.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime
experience.

(LAUGHS)

When you actually realise

that you're a very small percentage
of a big number,

and the feeling of invincibility.

It's phenomenal.

(LAUGHS)

The SAS is one big family.

We are one. We are one unit.

Sammy was a class above.
You could feel it.

Nah, you did well, brother.
You deserve it, mate.

What I'm taking from it is

I'm going to put all my time
and my emotion

into the places
that deserve it in my life.

It starts with my kids

and just making sure
I'm the best role model for them.

It's just a great lesson in life.

I thought that big head
of his was empty

but it's got a brain in there, man.
It's got a brain in there.

There's not many people
that fit the mould

and it takes a unique person
for a unique job.

'Cause, ultimately, that's what
the special forces is about.

We get in there, we get job done.

No glory, and we go again.
