Come.

(HEAVY BREATHS)

Let's go!

NARRATOR:
Previously on SAS Australia...

Push, use your legs!

..on a gruelling
vehicle extraction...

It's in fuckin' gear.

..a feud erupted...

You put it in gear last.

No, I didn't.
..between Locky...

I took it out of gear, Pauly.

Don't put that on me, cunt.

..and Pauly.

You call me 'cunt' again,

and I'll smash you
in the fuckin' face.

Do it.

TV fuckin' actor.

Do you know what you do, mate?

When I see a poser
like that it shits me.

If you wanna try and push me around,
you can go get fucked.

If you want to go, let's go.

Tonight...

You're about to receive

a face full of pepper spray.

..the most excruciating test so far.

There's nothing pleasant
about having a face full

of paper spray.

It's a nightmare.

As a model,
my face has been my livelihood.

Breathe.
OK.

That concerns me.

Oh, my god. Ow!

I can't do it.

And in a high-speed
hell extraction.

Luckily,
he's the best swimmer in Australia.

One mistake.

No!
No!

Aha.

Stop thinking
it's all about you.

Reveals a dark past.

I got arrested for supplying
a large commercial quantity

of cocaine, 6kg.

My daughter was born two days
after I got arrested.

(THEME MUSIC)

God.

It's day four of the gruelling
SAS selection course.

I was just like so overwhelmed.

And before the dawn has broken,

Number 11 model, Simone Holtznagel,
is overcome by emotion.

No, I understand.

I just, like...

As Number One, pro boxer, Ebanie,
tries to keep her calm.

I think it's just like
the waiting around, I'm like...

Exactly.

That's usually what causes anxiety,

the waiting
and all this kind of stuff.

So, try and not even think
about what's coming next.

But it's just like,

I feel like I'm on the verge
of tears all day.

Well, why don't we just
sit out here for a little bit.

Yea, sure.

Just sit out here
for a bit.

We'll just sit out here.

What I don't like
about myself is sometimes

I can be very emotional.

See, 'cause I feel like in there...

I've got wet hair,
hair is wet,

(LAUGHS)
'Cause I feel like.

I think in this course

showing emotional

could definitely be a weakness.

Like I know they don't want

like a bunch of cry-babies.

What do we got?

What do you reckon?

Porridge.

Did you sleep better?

I don't know.

I honestly feel like I'm getting
four hours or something.

Also, feeling the burden
of the course is recruit Number 12,

TV personality, Anna Heinrich.

I think the public
would know me best

from being on 'The Bachelor',

uh where I met my husband

Tim Robards.

And we have a beautiful little girl.

Do you make porridge at home?

I do like I make it
for my little daughter.

How old's your daughter?

Ten months.

Oh, really? Wow,
it must be hard for you to be away.

Yep.

In case,
she doesn't want to talk about it.

Oh, OK, sorry.
Sorry, I'll get emotional.

Oh, fair enough,
I understand.

But yeah, it is hard.

I think the thing
I will miss most is my family.

I have a beautiful little girl
at home and I've never been away

from her more than a day.

(LAUGHS)
You're getting all upset.

I always do.

Why... why are you getting upset?

'Cause then I think
about my kids.

Yeah.
My kid.

It's going to be
a big challenge leaving her

and my husband and I think
that's probably going to be

the most challenging aspect
of this all.

Stick to what everyone's doing.

True yeah, yeah.
Yea.

For Number 13,
convicted drug dealer, Richard,

the course
has a certain familiarity.

I've been through almost

all of the deprivation

that we'll be subjected

to on the course and um

separation from my loved ones,

being away,

none of that is going to affect me.

I'll be fine.

Fresh day, fresh start.

This is an opportunity
to show that I do have the physical

and mental toughness to get through
this sort of challenge.

Go, move! Let's go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

On route to the morning's task.

Get into your wagons, let's go!

Come on, come on, come on!

The recruits are about to engage
in an extreme test

of mental strength.

Mindset is key to becoming
a special forces operator.

It's absolutely everything
because you are pushed

into the uncomfortable,
you are pushed into the negative.

You must come out
with a positive mindset

and a positive way
of moving forward.

If you cannot flip your mindset,

you will not pass this course...

(THEME MUSIC)

Bring it in,
all the way down to the end,

get shoulder to shoulder.

There you go, there you go!

Move, move, move, move, move!

Right go ahead and take a seat.

Pay attention.

Oh, my god.

As the recruits watch on,

chief instructor Ant demonstrates

a highly dangerous SAS drill known
as the rapid extraction.

Without any safety equipment
and travelling at high speeds,

each recruit will first need
to launch onto the aircraft skids.

Oh!

Fuckin' hell!

Then suspended high
above the water,

make a perilous climb
into the safety of the cabin

in order to pass the task.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Stand up, turn around.

You are big extracted rapidly.

You might have something important
on you.

A bit of information
that is needed urgently.

Boats, helicopters,
a lot of moving parts.

It all comes down to one thing.

Commitment.

You commit
with a full fuckin' heart.

Anything less,
you're gonna fuck it up.

You only get one shot at this.

You will be fuckin' focussed
on the helicopter asset

that comes on.

You will get a tap
on the shoulder from the DS,

that doesn't mean that you go.

That means you have a window
of five seconds.

The helicopter might be far away,

you might get the tap
on the shoulder.

You need to commit
within that five seconds.

If you don't, it's mission fail.

Is that understood?

ALL: Yes, staff.

Over to you.

OK, then if you all just now
turn round on your bergen

and face out towards the water.

Number one, right here!

Alright, let's go!

After a string of failed tasks
on the course so far.

Come on, get up there,
let's go, let's go, let's go!

Pro boxer Ebanie Bridges
is up first.

Failure is not an option.

Yea, I can't.
One more.

It's jumping out
of that comfort zone and it's doing

the things that you don't want to do

that are going to help you succeed

and are going to set you apart
from the others.

Alright, here we go.

There's a lot of ways
to botch this task.

You have a boat that's moving
at a pretty decent speed.

You've got a helicopter hovering.

We call them whistling

shit cans of death.

They defy physics.

It can become a dangerous thing.

On DS Ollie's cue,

Number One has just five seconds

to make the jump.

Unable to cling to the skids
and landing hard

into the water below,
Ebanie has failed the task.

I hate having regrets.

If you don't put the work in
when you fail, it's your fault.

Like, I would of liked
to fuckin' actually get it.

Of course,
but you committed, alright?

Yeah, but...

Oi! Don't start letting
this fuckin' eat away, alright?

You did well.

Number 11,
you going to be all over this?

Having started the day anxious
and emotional, Number 11, Simone,

must brave the treacherous task.

I don't think that
it's a bad thing to display emotion.

Immediately go to this.
OK.

Bear hug, legs, get in.

OK.
Got it?

Yes, staff.
Alright, let's go.

I think the attributes
that I have that will get me

to the end of the course
is just resilience.

Get it, pull, pull,
pull, pull, come on.

Get up here.

I mean,
I have been modelling for 12 years.

I know it's very different
but there is a lot of rejection.

I've always
pushed on and carried on.

I will be disappointed
if I don't do very well at this,

but I'm going
to give it my best shot.

How fuckin' pathetic.

Plunging awkwardly into the river,
Number 11 fails the task.

She fuckin' committed to fail.

Timing, timing,
timing, right?

Alright, what happened?

I'm not sure,
it was just a lot further away

than I expected.

That was a timing piece.

You jumped for that thing
and it looked like

it was still five feet away.

Is that true?

I'm not sure.

Well, epic fail.

Alright, Number Ten, you're up.

Next to take the leap
is Number Ten,

reality TV star
and adrenaline junkie,

Locky Gilbert.

There's two sides of Locky.

Cocky Locky and then

there's the adventure guide Locky.

Get to the back of the boat.

I've like jumped off buildings,
climbed mountains,

gone through caves like
I've done the scary stuff,

but I want this to be
the hardest most brutal thing

I can think of.

Like I want it to be the worse.

I want to... I want to see it
and be like, "Fuck that!"

Come on, Captain America.

(LAUGHS)

My biggest fear
is living a mundane boring life.

I'm not enjoying
every single say, kill me.

Do you want my best advice?

Don't fuck it up!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Nailed it!

Good, good effort.

Get in and get your seatbelt on!

Having successfully boarded
the aircraft,

Locky has passed with ease.

I bet that was so good.

Setting a solid benchmark
for the others.

Number two.

Not wanting to be upstaged
by his rival,

Comedian Pauly Fenech,

readies himself
for the dangerous leap of faith.

People probably think
I'm this bong-smoking,

burnout-doing, hot tub-loving,
TV psychopath

but uh there's some truth to that

but it's not all true.

Grab onto that.

That's it, that's it, come on!

I'm a producer,
director, writer, actor,

and I do my own stunts.

I do my own stunts
because stuntmen are very expensive

and I work on low budget shows.

This is an adventure for me.

How could anyone not want
to kind of play action hero.

I talk the talk,
I say that I'm tough

and I'm fearless
and all the rest of it.

Now, I have to prove it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Reaching the skids,

Number Two still needs
to make it inside

the chopper to pass the task.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Get your seat belt on,
seat belt on!

Thrilled with his success,
Pauly celebrates with a kiss.

You know, I've got
a Mediterranean background

so we're all passion, you know.

Comedy and love are like that,

you know they're kind of
very similar to each other.

They... they invoke
the same emotions.

The DS are probably
going to kill me.

When I got on the plane,
I gave him a kiss.

I grabbed his face
and kissed his face, the DS!

Oh, did you?
Yeah, yeah!

What,
where... where did you kiss him?

On the cheek!

Ethnic style (LAUGHS).

Wait,
you kissed him on the cheek?

Yea!

16 you're up!

I shouldn't have to help you.

Up next is 50-year-old
AFL commentator Wayne Carry,

one of the oldest recruits
on the course.

I've never looked
at age as a barrier,

so I'm not saying I'm... I'm 50.

I certainly won't use

that number as an excuse,

but sometimes you have
to try things that... that are hard

and you may not succeed in.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Go! Fuckin' go!

It's a high-pressured situation

where you need to commit fully.

(INDISTINCT SHOUT)

Oh, he did it!

Do not let the noise,
the elements,

the environment distract you.

(COMPOSED MUSIC)

It's one of those situations
where it's do or die.

Alright.

With no female recruit
passing so far,

Number 12, Anna,
attempts the dangerous leap.

Come on, Anna!

The main reason
I am going on this course is to show

my little girl that anything
is possible

when you put your mind to it.

When I was a young child,

I remember I felt like
I couldn't do things.

I always said to myself
I'm not going to be able to do this.

I can't do this.

And it was just a constant
like negative train of thought

and going into this.

I had to change that train
of thought because I just,

I will not get through this course
without self-belief.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Coming up.

I was in a party scene,

drugs, alcohol.

Richard reveals all.

Then I got arrested for cocaine.

6kg.

How'd you get caught?

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

And later!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

An extreme test of pain!

Pepper spray is shit.

Shit it burns.

Plagued with self-doubt,
Number 12, Anna Heinrich,

wants to prove to herself
that she belongs on the course.

I just want to get rid of that

negative train of thought

that I can't do it and I would love

to say I can do it
and I want to believe it,

but I don't know until I'm in there

whether or not I'll really

be able to do it.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Yes!

Good effort,
well done, let's go!

Yes!

Good effort!

That was the best!

Number 12 is the first
female recruit to pass the task.

I want to show
my little girl her mum is strong,

she's capable, she's intelligent,

she's mentally strong
but also physically strong

and you can get through anything

if you put your mind to it.

Woo!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Well done, girl! Whoo!

You looked like Barbie,
that was so good!

Looked like a ninja?

Killed it.

Boat to helicopter extraction
is about commitment.

The helicopter comes in,
no time to access ropes.

Come on, go, go!

OK, let's get this smashed.

And it will be a leap of faith.

Go!

Yes!

You need to commit
to that leap of faith.

Go, go!

Go!

You need to commit
to keeping yourself alive.

You need to commit to getting
yourself out of that situation.

Hey, good effort!

Oooh, fuck you, cunt.

Are you talking to me?

No, chief.

The final recruit
to go is Number 13,

convicted drug dealer,
Richard Buttrose.

Right.

I spent the best
part of a decade in jail.

You know, I won't lie to you,

money is in most cases
a very attractive motivation.

The whole cocaine distribution

there was a degree

of excitement about it.

And with that excitement
came arrogance and the arrogance

fuelled the excitement.

Can I move anywhere
up the boat?

No.

From here?

Yes!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

But Richard ignores Ollie's brief,

moving up the vessel.

Missing the five-second window
and failing the task.

Far too long.

No!

To add fuel to the fire,
Number 13 doesn't follow

Ant's instructions
to board the chopper.

Again, failing to stick
to the instructions of the DS.

How fuckin' pathetic!

Cracking your own fuckin' detail.

So, what happened out there?

I fucked the timing.

What do you mean,
you fucked the timing?

What I saw was you were
picking your time.

Do you think those
fuckin' helo pilots want to do that?

Hang their ass out there
for you like that?

I didn't want to miss
the skid and that was the best time,

it was the closest.

Yeah, you waited
for the perfect moment,

and you don't get that.

I pulled you back in the boat,
I was trying to.

You know what?
You fuckin' cracked your own detail!

Stop cracking
your own fuckin' detail

and thinking it's all about you.

It's fuckin' pissing me off.

It's pissing us all off.

I've got no idea
what these guys are going

to strip back off me.

I really don't.

I think that I'm well prepared
because of my time in prison...

but I'm sure there's something else
to be peeled back.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I didn't get to speak to you,
how you feeling?

You fine?

Oh, just... just fucked it.
Fucked the timing.

What happened? 'Cause...

I just got off the boat, heard...

You just got off the boat too late?
Yeah.

You nailed it.
You looked great.

Just got to,
like as quick as I possibly.

Your hands got
on there so well.

Yeah. You fucking smashed it.

Oh, thanks, guys!

While Richard reflects
on where he went wrong,

the DS meet to discuss
the recruits' performances

in the task.

Technical day, about mindset,
about commitment.

Number one,
she made a good effort for it.

The thing is, I think she flipped
and had a hard landing...

but she went for it.

Her heart was committed,
just technique was a shambles.

Number two nailed it.

He got a little bit carried away
when he got into the helicopter,

he grabbed my face
and gave me a kiss.

I sort of fuckin' pushed him off.

Number 11, she's been struggling
from day one.

She almost jumped with her eyes
on the water

just to go through the motions.

Committed to fail.

And I was just like that's not
the type of commitment we want.

We want you to commit to,

you know to believe in that
you are going to touch that skid.

At least she tried.

Fuckin', yeah.

Oh, that's sickening.

Number 12.

Like a rat up a drain pipe.

Yeah.

Yes!

Fuckin' brilliant.

She underestimates herself.

Yeah.
Yeah, she does.

She's just going from strength
to strength.

Boom, and she was up quick.

Number 13.
Interesting with Number 13,

because he went
after his allocated time.

He got on there, and I went,
"Fuckin' get in!"

No point
did I give the command "drop".

Get in the...

And I was just like,
"What the fuck is he doing?"

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

Fuck me, he's... he's just...

This is him all over.

Cracking his own detail.

That pissed me, I actually tried
to grab him back in the boat.

Little rat,
let's bring that man in.

He needs a serious talking to.

Number 13.

Yes.

Think of all those times
you've been interrogated.

Unimpressed with Richard's lack
of commitment to their instructions,

the DS bring him
in for interrogation.

Sit down.

Today, that fuckin'
wound me up today, that's...

I saw.

Actually,
why you're sat here, alright?

Because you come in,

I give you a detail
and I did the same with everyone

and you were the only one that goes,
"Can I start doing this?

"Can I do that?"

And that fuckin' winds me up.

And then you just decided
to jump out the fuckin' helicopter.

I was told jump out,
I was told to.

No, you weren't.

I thought I was told to fuck off.
Shut up.

You were... you were not told.

We've... we've been told

by the chief instructor
that you weren't.

So, whether you're hearing things,

I tried to pull you back
in that fuckin' boat

because you took too long
for starters,

looking for that perfect moment.

Whatever happened
we were to understand

that you just fuckin' hauled
yourself off.

I can't fuckin' believe I did that.

13 let's... let's back up.

What's... what's your story?

What has given you almost
this shortcut mentality,

complemented by a constant smirk
on your face?

Like where does that come from?

I don't know.

What do you mean
you don't know?

I don't know.

Well, what's your background,
what's your story?

Um, years ago
I was in a party scene,

drugs, alcohol, cocaine.

I started using cocaine.

Were you just a user?

Yeah, initially.
And then I would supply it

to friends and that grew
and then I got arrested

for supplying
a large commercial quantity

of cocaine and I went
to jail for nine years.

What is a large commercial quantity?

6kg.

6kg.

I'm certainly no celebrity.

I'm guilty of an offence
that thousands

of other guys are in prison for.

But the headlines even
when I do something positive,

it always come
with convicted cocaine dealer,

nephew of Ita Buttrose.

How'd you get caught?

I got dobbed on.

Who by?

A friend.

(LAUGHS)

Jealousy?

I don't know,
I never spoke to him afterwards.

I mean, it's insane to think
of logically now.

But the person making
those decisions back then,

you know, I got rid of that guy
the day I got arrested.

So.

I mean, I was married
with... with a son

and a pregnant wife
and, you know, I lost all of that.

My daughter was born
two days after I got arrested.

You know my wife
was amazing for the first five years

of my incarceration.

They moved back to England
so she would send handprints,

little artworks from the kids.

I watched my children grow up
through photographs.

She was amazing
and... and one day I got a letter.

It was typical you know?

Talking about my son playing sport
and my daughter

walking and talking.

After all of this beautiful stuff
about my kids and everything.

"I'm pregnant."

And that was fuckin',
it hit you hard, did it?

Yeah.

She was pregnant
and she wanted a divorce.

And I don't want
any sympathy from anyone

'cause a convicted drug dealer
doesn't deserve any sympathy,

but the other people it affected,
my aunt, my wife,

my children, you know.

You still haven't got
over that, have you?

Unh-unh.

What does this course
mean to you?

What do you want to get from it?
Why are you here?

Just that last step
of redemption, you know?

Because...

people look at money and drugs

and think of those shortcuts

and I didn't take
any shortcuts in jail.

I did the time.

I didn't rat on anyone, you know.

I just fucking took responsibility
for everything

that I got caught with,

pleaded guilty for everything
I got caught with and did the time.

Look, honestly.

I can see that you have got
what it takes to do well

on this course, I really can.

But mentally, I think you will gain
a lot from this course.

And we don't want
to keep on shouting.

When you're on selection,

it is a bit shouty at the start

because you've got
to be indoctrinated

into that fuckin' mindset.

But it gets to a point
where you just stand back,

and we expect you to have that
self-discipline to do the job

that you've been asked to do.

So, think about this chat
we've had and allow it to work

for you, because if... if you don't
you're not going to be

on this course much longer.

But you have got the potential
to fuckin' do really well.

Thank you, staff.

Guard!

And I believe
everybody deserves a second chance.

It would be in some ways,

the end of my road to redemption

after a huge mistake many years ago.

And I've also got
uh, two young kids.

I can never give back to my kids
what I've taken from them.

They've paid a huge price.

Their little voices will be
the biggest driver for me.

You know, the thought that I can do
something as tough as this,

you know, that they can be
proud of... it would be awesome.

(EXHALES)

(SOFT MUSIC)

Alright, Baz.

(GRUNTS)

Get under there, brother.

Oh, you motherfucker.

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) It's cold!

With the morning's task
behind them,

the recruits freshen up
and dry out.

Today, with the boat,

that was like,
"What the fuck am I doing?"

But I was like, "I'm just gonna
fucking like, do it."

Yeah.

Like, why am I standing
in my own way so much?

(COMPOSED MUSIC)

In disarray this morning
and with a fail in the task,

Number 11 is having doubts
about her place in selection.

I think for you, Simone,
sometimes like they know, like,

you just need to like push yourself.

Mmm.

So, like,
they wanna see you push.

That's why you're here really.
Yeah.

Have fear,
you try to overcome it, you know?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Right, these are officially cooked.

I think having anxiety
and doing the course

it's going to be incredibly tough.

I'm sure I'll be
absolutely exhausted

and heightened emotions.

Oh, fuck my life!

11!

Is that you?

I think, yeah.
Move it!

Noticing her unease and failure
in the heli-extraction task,

the DS call in Number 11
to find out what's holding her back.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(SIGHS)

Number 11, turn your number
around so I can see it.

Oh, sorry.

Start with telling me who you are.

I'm a model,
I've been a model for 12 years.

So, when did you start modelling?

Um, when I was 16.

I was still at school

and then... then I went
on top model...

What, Australia's top model?

Yeah.
Uh, that's a big show.

Yeah.

I came uh, third runner up
so I got to the top three.

Ahh.
Yeah.

And has it been
a good journey for you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's, I've been pretty lucky
that I've had...

Ah, yeah.

Eight campaigns
with Guess Jeans, I'm a Guess girl,

I've been on the cover of Playboy,

everything that I've done
is kind of like embraced like,

you know, feminine kind of body,
natural curves,

so I'm really lucky in that sense
that I haven't had like

any of the like shitty experiences

that you'd think someone

in 12 years of modelling has had.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

But um...

What's wrong?

Ah, I was just having
a mild anxiety attack.

Calm down. Listen, Number 11.

(SNIFFLES)
Relax.

Where does the anxiety
come from then?

My um, sorry.

No, go on.

Um, when I did 'Top Model',

one of the judges on the show,
I met and she um,

really like took me under her wing.

OK.

And she had a lot
of high hopes for me.

But she had like,
a lot of shit as well and um,

she um, passed away a few years ago.

(CRIES)

How?

Ah, she committed suicide.

I... I was about 20...

(CRIES)

Charlotte Dawson was my mentor
and my very good friend.

I remember that moment,

I just collapsed to the ground.

I was asked to go um,

and identify her body
because her family

was in New Zealand at the time.

And it was just like something

I thought I'd never
have to do especially at 20

and I think about it now
and I'm like, I was so little.

Like, I was a baby.

I knew
there was a trigger there because...

Yeah.

And then I thought modelling
uh, I know a lot can go wrong.

Yeah.

That's fuckin' tough.

(INHALES SHARPLY)

There was a couple
of months after she died

after I was just like
drinking every day,

barely getting out of bed, um,

I had like a moment
where I was just like,

you know what, I was like she died,

I didn't and I need to,

like she wouldn't want me
to not live my life

and if she'd seen me doing
that she would have hated it

because she always just had
so much belief that I would go on

and be this like, superstar.

Use that as a... as an anchor.
Yeah.

Use that to make her proud.

Use it as something
to propel you forward.

You know, her legacy...
Yeah.

Her attitude.

To be in a headspace like that...

Mm.

To get through certain stages
to get to that point, you know?

Yeah.

It's (MUMBLES)
You need to pull strength.

Yep.

It's over to you.

Guard!

After Charlotte died,

it has definitely played
into how I am

and how I go about
my life as an adult.

If there's anything that I've learnt
over the past year

it is just grab every opportunity
that you can and this is the time

to just say yes to everything.

Was he nice to you or not?

It was a really productive meet.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Did you have a camera in your cell?

Nah.

After a punishing morning...

Did you watch movies
in prison?

Yep.

He's so over it.
New ones?

Yep.

The recruits recover with stories
from Richard's prison life.

Did you have Netflix?
No!

What was your favourite one?

Did you watch
'Shawshank Redemption'?

Yes! Yeah.
I love that movie!

Every Friday in the cinema room?

Did anyone escape
while you were in prison?

Yeah,
but not from the jail I was at.

Oh, OK.
Yeah.

Were you in jail or prison?

It's the same thing.

Prison, well...
No, no, no...

Is a jail lock up?

Yeah,
historically a jail's lock-up

because
historically everybody got executed.

So, there was no such thing
as prisons,

you know, a couple of 100 years ago.

Oh, OK.

Because you went to jail,
then you got executed.

I've been to lock-up
a fuckin' heap of times.

You have?
Yeah.

You're a fuckin' dark horse.
(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Have you ever been convicted
of anything?

Ahh, I got a...

Don't answer that,
don't answer...

Nah, I think I'm pretty sure
it's a suspend conviction.

Oh, OK.

It's for trespassing
for a base jump.

(LAUGHS) Oh, OK.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Quick as you can, let's go!

Attack that hill!

Go in front of me.
Yep.

Let's keep it going!

Pushed to their next savage task,

the recruits will need to adopt
a strong mindset.

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

As they're exposed to high levels
of pain and discomfort.

Keep it going!

Special forces soldiers
are physically and mentally capable.

Catch up, Number 11.

Catch up with the rest of the squad.

When I go into battle,

I believe that we are going

to achieve the mission,

I don't let any doubt come into it.

And having that mindset rubs off
on the rest of the team.

My leg and arse is like...

Keep going.
(SIGHS)

Number 11, I suggest you get
to the back of that squad now.

Quick.

Already struggling
is Number 11, Simone.

Just get up there.

No hands on hips, not catwalk,
get up there.

Single file.

Oh, my god.

Fuck me. Stopped off for a cup
of coffee or something?

No, staff. I couldn't
run up the hill with my...

Couldn't run up the hill?

Yeah.

This next task
you're going to be walking in pairs.

You will both be incapacitated.

And then expected
to carry out a task.

What's wrong?

I don't know
what incapacitated means.

You don't know
what incapacitated means?

Mm.

It means you're going to be
in a whole fuckin' word of pain.

OK.

Let me relate that
to the battlefield.

Shot. Injured.

Maybe hit by an IUD.

You will both be in that state
from the beginning

and then you will conduct a mission.

Once used in US Navy Seal training,

the recruits will be pepper-sprayed

causing crippling pain
of the face and eyes.

The code for the box
is seven, one, nine, five, seven.

Then, given a five-digit code
to memorise each pair

must move swiftly
up a steep incline,

find and unlock a medikit
for pain relief

before continuing upwards
and reporting to DS Stotty

to pass the task.

You will need each other.

Drag each other through,

do what the fuck you need
to do to get the job done.

Listening to the DS.

Five and 11, step out.

OK, you guys are pairs.

Find your corresponding
number jumpsuit.

This task is designed

to do it in pairs.

Four and seven, step out.

How are you going
to use each other?

How are you going to function
as a pair?

OK, you guys are pairs.

Go ahead and
find your jumpsuit, neatly.

You're both going to panic
and forget everything,

you need your post
to get through it.

Commit and get through it together.

You guys, good?

Yep, work together
and crush this fucker.

No worries.
Head on down.

First to undergo
the excruciating task is Number Two,

Pauly, and his nemesis,
Number Ten, Locky.

SAS is both individual and a team.

Faster!

I'm good at both
of those things,

but I hate relying on other people.

If someone lets the team down,
its gonna piss me off.

Come here, move.

But I need to reign that in
and make sure that doesn't happen.

You're about to receive
a face full of pepper spray

and I mean a face full
of pepper spray.

It will incapacitate you.

You will need to compose yourself
and each other.

Standby.

Instantly, the pain sets in.

Oh, fuck.

(SPITS) Oh, fuck.

Don't touch your face.

(EXHALES), oh, I can't see nothing.

Nah, neither can I.

Pepper spray is used
throughout Seal training

to induce a certain amount of pain,

stress and see if you can still get
the task done.

(GASPS)
OK, breathe.

Ugh, ugh!
It's a fuckin' nightmare.

It's blinding and it burns,
it stings.

(COUGHS)
Breathe.

You lose total loss
of mucus glands meaning

you're going to start drooling,
your eyes are going to tear,

you're going to have snot coming out
of your nostrils

whether you like it or not.

Oh, fuck, argh!

Compose yourself.

Trying to, staff.

Right, listen in.

At the top of this track
are two tanks.

On one of those tanks is a ladder.

At the bottom
of that ladder is a box.

It's got stuff in it
that you will need

to decontaminate yourselves.

It has a five-digit code.

The code is seven, one,
nine, five, seven.

Stand by. Go!

Seven, one,
nine, five, seven.

Keep the noise down,
you're on a fuckin' mission!

Unless you want someone to hear
that code

and get to that box before you.

Fuckin' move!

Pain is part of life.

Hurry up,
you're wasting time!

You know, I've had broken bones
and people have been punching me

in the head since I was sort of

you know, a young boy.

Faster you two, let's go!

Pain is like,
it's like my underpants.

It's always there,
you know, in some weird way.

Move it!

I don't really push
through it I guess I just accept it.

OK, I see the box.
You see the box.

Isn't that the ladder, yeah?

Yeah, I see the ladder.

Brutalised by the pain,

Number Two and Number Ten
have managed

to drag each other to the medikit.

It's the box,
you know the code.

Seven, one,
nine, five, seven.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You alright?

Yeah.

Let's go!

Move it!

Suffering badly,
barely able to see,

Locky struggles to open the lock.

There's a line there.

It's crucial that these recruits
are able to retain information.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

We need to get moving!

We give them
a five-digit code you know,

in operations you need to know
other codes, grid references,

you know, to war RVs, emergency RVs.

Sort yourselves out,
compose yourselves,

get ready for the next task.

You can't write it down
so it needs to be stored

and compartmentalised somewhere.

And you may need that in weeks
or months to come.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You got it, man?

Yep.

Well done.

Finally, Number Ten
opens the box containing

water and clothes.

You go first, go first.
There, go.

Head back,
bend over and like look sideways.

As they urgently look
to receive the burning pain.

That box needs
to be sealed again.

Put all your shit away.

Right, come on then.

Go!

There's Locky that
just wants to be first, take over,

be the leader.

Let's go, drive!

And then the adventure guy
Locky just wants to help everyone.

Go, go, go, go, up!
Go, go, go!

We're there for a team,
stay at the back of the pack,

make sure everyone's able to do it.

Come into me.

Limping into DS Stotty
for a debrief.

OK, let's go.

Sort yourselves out
and make yourselves operable.

The pair have passed
the task managing to work

as a team for the first time.

Let's go.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Let's go, move!

Next to endure the agonising
is mission is Number 13, Richard...

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

..and Number One, Ebanie.

Listen here, you two.

You're gonna receive
a face full of pepper spray.

As they both failed
the earlier task,

the DS want to see
if they can now follow orders

and work as a team.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Compose yourselves
I'm just about

to give you some information.

(COUGHS)

Ohh, it's in my eyes.

(COUGHS)

That's it.
Strong, Number One.

Number 13,
you should be used to this.

Get up.

I can't see you, sorry.

13. It's OK.

At the top of that hill is a box.

Yep, there's a box.

The code for that box

is seven, one, nine, five, seven.

Go!

Seven, one, nine, five, seven.
Come on. Gotta get up... 71...

Hurry up!

Look, I'm no stranger
pushing through pain.

We got it.

It's just stinging,
it's just stinging.

It's fine. They're gonna put a thing
in that's gonna make us fine.

Can you open your eyes?

Yes, but it stings.

It's OK though.

It's just going to sting.

Hurry up!
Just push.

Let's fuckin' go!

The stinging gets better,
it's just in your head.

Come on.

You know, I've had gruesome injuries

in my fights that I've had to push

through that a lot of people
would have quit.

Come on, push! There's the box.
Let's go!

Move it!

My first fight
as a professional,

I went out there
and, you know, tapped gloves,

went to my corner came out
and within ten seconds I got hit

and I got dropped
and I snapped my ankle.

It's alright, it's just burning.

Fuck it.

Come on.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

And then you know,
was like what do you want to do

and I was like well I'm gonna go

out there and I'm gonna win like
I'm not quitting like no way!

Now what? What is it?

Ebanie and Richard have successfully
opened the medikit.

You good?
Yeah.

Bit more.
Fuck it. Fuck it. Phew!

So, I just went out
and blocked out my ankle

and just kept throwing punches.

Get the fuck away from me.

Sorry.

Yeah, I ended up going on
and winning the fight.

Get your fuckin' arse up!
Let's go, push!

Your eyes keep burning
keep them open, keep them open!

With a medikit in hand the pair
sprint the final gruelling 100m.

Come on, push!
Keep your eyes open.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Number one, look at me.

It's pro boxer Ebanie's
first pass mark.

Take your coveralls off,
put them in the ammunition box.

What do I put
in the box, I'm sorry?

Do you want me to repeat it?
Something about... yes.

Something?
Something, yes, please.

What do you think I'm gonna
ask you to (STUTTERS) put in there?

I'm thinking this.
Yeah, that's a good thing.

OK.
Right, go do it now then.

OK, work together as a buddy,
buddy system.

Yeah.
Sort each other out.

We just put it in here?

The quicker you do it,
the quicker you're back in the game.

Let's go!
I'm not used to authority.

I wouldn't say that, yeah,

I've had a lot of people
try and tell me what to do.

Come on, as quick as you can,

the rest of the team
are relying on you

to get yourselves back in the game.

Let's go.

And it might be hard
for me to not talk back.

Grab a jerry can.
I gotta fill the water up.

Grab a jerry can.

Come on listen to the DS,

listen to everything
that's being told.

Yeah, I'm (MUMBLES)...
What?

Nothing. I'm just
putting my number on.

Oh, was that a, was that a bit
of attitude, was it, Number One?

No, it wasn't. I was just...

I fuckin' sense
a bit of attitude there.

Maybe slightly, sorry.
You wanna fuckin' go? We'll go!

Remember where you are!
Get yourself back in the game!

I'm back in it.
I'm back in it, sir.

Well, you're not back in it. You're
like fuckin' piss in the snow!

Staff, I've got,
I've got it! I've got it.

Go.

Where do you want this, staff?

Take it, come on!

But her pass is soured
by her disrespect to the DS.

Whenever everyone tries
to tell me what to do

and who to be I'm just like,

"Don't tell me what to do
and who to be

"because this is me."

(SIGHS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

You're just about to get
a face full of pepper spray.

Deep in remote bushland,
the recruits are suffering.

Fuckin' nasty substance.

(SOBS)
Stop your panicking, Number 15.

You're alright.

In an agonising task requiring
a mindset

to perform through intense pain...

Pepper spray is shit.

There's nothing pleasant
about having

a face full of pepper spray.

(CRIES)
Stop panicking.

They're being tested
to retain information

while in severe distress.

That code is seven,
one, nine, five, seven.

Go!

Seven, one,
nine, five, seven, one.

And make it
to a rendezvous point

for a final brief from the DS.

Hurry up!

Let's fuckin' go! Go!

Let's go, come on!

Fuckin' hell!

The recruits will need
to stay calm.

Realise, "Fuck, the shit
has hit the fan."

Watch out where you're going.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
They may be disorientated...

To the left.

Where the fuck
are you going?

..and of course, confusion.

Get the fuck down.

Who the fuck
told you to go up there?

I just heard ladder
and the box.

No one said climb
the fuckin' ladder!

Making your own shit up.

Attaining information is needed.
Seven, one, nine, five, six.

Time if of the essence.
Nine, five, seven?

She saved your skin there,
Number Eight, didn't she?

Yeah.

One be a voice,
one be the eyes and ears.

Straight forward, hold me.

Get up this hill!

And we expect you to get yourself
in the best state of mind.

Here, here, open, open. Open.

Psychologically and physically.

Shit.

I need a bit more.

Get the mission done.

Ready to go again?

Yes, staff.
Very good.

Well done, good job.
Well done.

Smashed it. We did good.

Alright, you ready?
Yes, staff.

Head down the hill,
you'll find chief at the end.

Let's move!

The last recruits to face
the horrific pepper spray

are Number Five,

Olympic swimming legend,
Geoff Huegill...

Hurry up!

..and Number 11,
model Simone Holtznagel.

I know I'm going

to be so terrified on the course.

Right,
listen in very, very carefully.

OK, you're just about to get
a fuckin' mouth full

and a face full of pepper spray.

As a model,
my face has been my livelihood

for the past 12 years.

Ready to go?

Yes, staff.

Stay there.

So... that concerns me.

Breathe.
OK.

Alright?

Face me. Shoulder to shoulder.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Go, go! Go!

(WHIMPERING) Fuck!

Oh, my god! Eugh!

Fuck!

It hurts!

I suggest you start moving.

The quicker you move the quicker
you can sort your shit out.

I'm expecting
to be absolutely pushed

to my very limit.

Oh, my god!

Keep your fuckin' noise down!

Breathe.

Wipe the tears out of your eyes
it'll get the pepper spray out.

So, I'm interested
to see like how I go with that.

(PANTS)

You know
what you got to do, let's fuckin'...

You've got limited time to do so.

Get to it.

Stop fuckin' winging.

Get on with it.

(CRIES)

Remember the code?

Seven, five, one,
nine, I think...

Say it clearly.

Seven, five,
one, nine, seven.

Seven...

Five...
One.

(CRIES)
Nine.

In a complete state of panic,

neither recruit can remember
the code.

What is the code?

Seven, five, one, nine.

No.

Seven, five...
(CRIES)

As the pain intensifies...
One, five...

Oh, my god, I can't...

You're right.

Wipe your eyes.

When you're not used
to a situation, you will panic.

Seven, five...

I can't do it.
(CRIES)

When the world
is falling apart around you.

Oh, my god, yuck.

I can't... I quit. I can't do it.

If you cannot stay calm
under pressure,

then you're in the wrong job.

Ow!

11, are you a fuckin' asset
or a liability?

I'm fucking out.
I don't wanna do it.

Right, Number 11,
come over here.

I can't do it. I can't...

No, not you Number Five,
you figure out the code!

Number Five, come here!
Number 11, you come here!

I can't do it, I'm sorry.
(CRIES)

I've got you. I've got you.
I've got you, I've got you.

I've got you, I've got you.
Calm yourself down.

We're about to decontaminate you.

It will sting
for a couple of seconds.

(GASPS)

Racked with scorching pain,

Number 11 is the fourth recruit

to voluntarily withdraw
from the course.

Five, seven...

That's it. That's it.

With Simone gone,

Number Five continues
on alone finally opening

the medikit before
the last push up the steep hill.

I broke my first record

when I was 18 years old.

Go.

When you're standing
at the end of a pool at 4:45

in the morning, it's the middle
of winter and having

to wield yourself to dive
into the water...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

That's when I realised
that the sooner

you learn to deal with pain,

the easier things
are going to be in life.

Number five,
are you on your own?

Yes, staff.

What you're gonna do now
is take your coveralls off

and place them in the ammo box, OK?

Not only has Geoff
passed the task alone,

he continued to brave
the searing effects of the spray.

Feel like you're operable
and you can support

your bucket?

I hope so, staff. It still burns,
but I'm gonna give it a go.

OK.
Love it.

Clearly years
in the (MUMBLES) chlorine

in the swimming pool
has helped on this task.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, my god!

Having withdrawn
from the course,

Simone receives treatment
to curb her discomfort.

Open gently one
of your eyes for me.

Ow, ow!

Calm down, Number 11.

Don't fuckin' drink it, Number 11.

I signed up
to the SAS selection course purely

to push myself
and to challenge myself.

Oh, my god.
I fucking hate my life.

As long
as you don't hate yourself...

I fucking hate you.

(LAUGHS) You don't hate me,
I know you don't hate me.

If there is anything
that I've learnt,

it's that I'm a lot tougher,

I have a lot more grit
and I've a lot more tenacity...

You've done fuckin'
absolutely amazing.

I'm sorry.

And now, finish strong.

Well done, Number 11.

And that is like one

of the best things
about this course.

Can you spray
my face or is that not good?

No, no,
that is good, that is good.

Get outside!

Coming up.

Ten burpees, go!

The purpose
of the beasting is to expose

and identify their vulnerabilities.

Keep it moving!

And this is when you'll get
those that potentially will VW.

Fuckin' grit!

Determination!

Pauly's mistake
makes everyone pay.

This is gonna get fuckin' evil!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

You want me to get a cup

so you can just put some
in your eyes?

Come on, somebody bring a cup!

Still suffering the effects
of the pepper spray,

the recruits are desperate
for relief.

Put some of this
in your eyes, you'll be alright.

Baby shampoo in my eyes?

Trust me, trust me,
this is the cure for...

Are you sure?
Yep. Trust me.

Baby shampoo.
Promise, man.

It's not gonna be
any worse than the fuckin'...

Ah, that seems
to fuckin' make it worse.

Here, Locks, put your face back.
No, no, no, don't.

Oh, yeah, OK.

No, you're washing
your hair with it.

Wash your hair,
wash your hair.

You're washing your hair.
Not, not your eyes, your hair.

Yeah, and your beard.

Give us a bit of that.

Baby shampoos for your eyes guys,
not the rest of ya.

He's still washing
his face, your hair and everything.

No, it's for your hair.

Not for your eyes.

For your hair.
Not for your eyes.

I put it in my eyes.
What? The shampoo?

Pauly.

No, not the shampoo.

Water in your eyes,
shampoo's for your hair.

Ahh, is it really cold?

I want to do it
but I don't at the same time.

I'm scared.

Fuck.

(GROANS)Fuck.
You alright?

I can't fuckin' see.

There's a difference
between pepper and capsicum,

the capsicum's not as hot
as the pepper...

Yeah, right.

Capsicum's not like that.
We had the hot one.

Doesn't burn?
We had the bear max.

It burns,
but it's not as blinding.

Having recovered from the trauma
of pepper spray,

the recruits wonder just
how much more intense

the next task could be.

Do you reckon
they would actually shoot us?

(LAUGHTER)

Do you reckon they're not going
to put blanks in the gun?

They're going to be real,
real bullets?

Straight up real bullet.

(LAUGHS)

OK, you're gonna be shot in the arm.

You will be incap...
You will be incapacitated!

(LAUGHS)

Control your emotions!

You've just been shot!

I know!

Calm down!

No, no, I'm dying.

Calm down.

Slow your heart rate.

Control the bleeding.

(LAUGHTER)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(PHONE RINGS)

After her VW during the task,

Simone makes a teary phone call home
to her mother Margaret.

(CRIES)

I'm so proud of you.

It's OK.

I fuckin' got pepper-sprayed
in the face.

MARGARET (ON PHONE): Sorry?

I said I just got
pepper-sprayed in the face

I'm fucking wigged out.

Aw, darling.

And I'm just annoyed
I didn't last at least a week,

like I wanted.

It's OK, you'll be home soon.

You look really nice though.

(LAUGHS) Oh, thanks!

Oh, my god,
look at my skin.

I'm going to look like this
for a fucking week.

What have you had to do?

I almost drowned
on multiple occasions

and I was set on fire.

Were ya?

Yeah, on the first day.

Good, Simone.

Oh, babe, you can have
a big long hot bath

with Epsom salt
when you get home.

I'm not going near
anything hot, Margaret.

I've just been pepper-sprayed
in the face.

(LAUGHS)

OK, I'll see you soon.

Alright, I love you, bungee,

I can't wait
until you come home.

Bye, darling.

Can you put some cold stuff
in the fridge for me?

Absolutely.

Love you. Bye.

Oh, I love you so much.

Love you!

(SOFT MUSIC)

Being on the course,

I wanted just to change
people's preconceived ideas of me.

Possibly other models,

I don't know any of them who'd want
to get pepper-sprayed in the face.

Yeah, I'm just disappointed that
I didn't go out on like

more of a high but I'm really not,

I'm not huge on physical pain,

but I am really happy
that I did it.

Goodbye!

Beyond exhausted,

the recruits sleep soundly
in their makeshift beds.

But the day isn't over just yet.

Let's get outside!

You've got five minutes,
get on parade!

That's five minutes!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Do not be late!

On SAS selection,

recruits must be battle-ready
at a moment's notice.

You can't push through this course
without a strong mindset.

Hurry up, let's go!

And for us as DS, we want
to put some pressure on them.

Who's dressed?

And it's to see how they respond

to being woken up at the early hours

in the morning.

Oh, fuck.
We gotta go, guys. We gotta go.

Come on guys, everybody let's go,
let's go, come on.

Let's go, gang!

One second, guys,
I gotta get a belt!

Come on, Pauly!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

Duty recruit let me know
when everyone is here.

Fuckin' hell.

Two recruits back there.

Seven minutes.

I hate stupidity.

I hate relying on other people.

You've got to be ready
to go at a fuckin' moment's notice.

It's not good enough.

Everyone in press-up position place.

With duty recruit Pauly failing
to get to the parade square

within the required five minutes...

Ten push-ups.

Go!

Everyone will now suffer
a harsh physical beasting.

The purpose of the beasting
is to really expose them,

identify their vulnerabilities,

and this is when you'll get

those that potentially will VW.

Ten burpees! Go!

Come on! Fuckin' grit!
Determination!

Make sure you jump at the end!

The jump's up, don't just go
through the motion!

Come on, Number Two.

Designed to push the recruits
beyond their threshold of pain.

Squat thrusts.

Go!

This is gonna get fuckin' evil!

Beastings also expose
the weakest recruits.

Get them knees
all the way up here, Number 16.

Yeah mate...

Go.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

(GRUNTS)

Press-ups.

Now, our job
in this little evolution

is to find that person
that's not doing ten,

that person
is responsible for the rest

of the group's fuckin' pain.

Go!

You don't want
to be the weakest link.

You don't want
to let your team down.

They're relying
on your to do your job well.

Keep it moving!

They may be feeling
the same apprehension as you

but you just need to control that
and fight for it.

What you doing, Number Two?

You making love to the fuckin'
parade square or something?

(GRUNTS)

Fuckin'...

What the fuck, Number Two?

(WHIMPERING)
Fuck, staff...

You're like
a fuckin' worm on steroids.

(GROANING)

Right, because of you,
you all fuckin' pay.

When I say "go",
you will leave the parade square,

move to the parallel metal bars,
get yourself one.

Go!

With Pauly unable to do
the ten push-ups...

the DS continue to punish all.

Come on! Move!

Above your head.

You're gonna keep on going tonight

until we see
some fuckin' aggression.

This is where we have
identified recruits

that are weak.

We want to put some pressure
on them where it just involves

a lot of grit and determination.

When I say stretch
you will fully extend the arms.

Stretch!

Lock 'em out.

30 seconds together as a team.

Number four,
lock them arms out.

Strong man like you,
should be a piss of piss!

Lock 'em out.

Number two, lock them arms out
you're letting everyone down.

Hold it up there.

Eugh!

Fuckin' pathetic!

Strength is needed on the course,
if you're seen as week,

you're going to be seen

as a inferior soldier.

30 seconds that's nothing.

Number two, lock them arms out,
you're letting everyone down.

You know what you signed up
for like so don't pussy out.

One, two, three, four...

Typically, SAS candidates
are like 6ft tall, they're wiry...

That's pathetic, come on!
Don't give in now!

I'm the underdog.

I'm the little guy, literally.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

This course is like
the hardest thing

anyone might ever do in their life.

Fuckin' pointless Karen,
'cause you can't do it.

Go and put the bars back.

Go!

Come on!

Keep it moving!

That was a light beasting.

Believe me.

We don't like shoutin',

until you get it right
we'll keep shoutin',

keep punishing you.

Back to the accommodation
as fast as you can.

Go!

Don't worry,
Pauly, it was all of us.

(WHISPERING)
Fuck, man...

Good work, yeah.

Jesus Christ,
that was just relentless.

Apologies, guys.

Owning his mistakes,
Pauly's apology falls on deaf ears.

That was my fault, guys.

I'm the first person
when I fuck up to sort of

say sorry, you know,
I'm... I'm the "sorry" guy.

But in all honestly,
I don't really care about

the other recruits.

I'm not there for them
I'm not there for anyone,

I'm here for me.
