(BREATHING HEAVILY)

SHAUN DOOLEY (NARRATES):
Selection for the SAS

is a test like no other.

You can never prepare for selection.

You could be the fittest.
You could be the strongest.

But the moment we
start chipping away at this,

that's what really counts.

I'm not your mate and I doubt
I'll ever be your mate.

Do you understand?

A new group of celebrity recruits
have volunteered to put

their privileged lives behind.

Smash through it! I
might not be able to do something.

Ahh!

But if I don't do it and realise
I could have done it,

that's gonna haunt me.

You've got no time to breathe.
Get down, get down.

They'll be put through a tougher,
more intense selection course

than ever before.

It was so hard.

Only the toughest will survive.

(BLEEP) listen
to simple instructions!

Tonight...
Go!

Alright, let's go, Dan,
get in front of me.

Do not let yourself down
now at this stage.

..a merciless assault course...

You're under fire for (BLEEP) sake.

..pushes their bodies
to their physical limits...

I'm so cooked!

..and beyond.

And a test of the heart
will expose...

"I love you with
all my heart and soul..."

(SOBS)

..their true emotions.

Sorry.
(SOBS)

(THEME MUSIC)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

Thank you so much.
Sorry to disturb your process.

It's alright, darl.

There you go.

It's beautiful work, thank
you. No worries.

You're always dressing
some kid, aren't ya?

(JANA LAUGHS)

It's one talent I have.

Your bastard 35-year-old.

It's the final 48 hours
of the SAS selection course.

Of the 18 recruits who started,
only 5 remain.

Actually that's a pretty
cool thing guys

if you don't mind me saying.

We're all 30s and
above. Yeah.

There was like
four 26-year-old guns.

That's pretty good, isn't
it? Mentally?

Who's the youngest one
here? Sam, 32.

32.
35.

Then both Johnny and
I are 38 and then you Mark.

44.

Age may be no barrier
but it's now every man

and woman for themselves
to fight for their place

and pass selection.

Come on, move it!

With little time left
to prove themselves...

We're waiting for
you. Hurry up!

..the recruits must find the drive
to embrace every remaining task.

(TENSE MUSIC)

We just want you to keep moving.

Have you got that extra drive
to get over certain obstacles

and it's normally
when you're physically

and psychologically drained?

Let's go!

There's nothing left
for you to give,

but you're always driving forward.

Let's go! Keep going.
Keep moving!

Find that drive in you.

The LTES, which stands
for ladder troop extraction

or insertion system.

I've used it a lot of times.

Whether it's getting on board ship
or off a ship, onto a helicopter,

I've used it.

It basically is a flimsy ladder
and there is a technique.

But ultimately
all that really matters

is that you attack
the (BLEEP) ladder.

Is that
understood? ALL: Yes, staff.

Right, turn around and wait.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRS)

Travelling at high speed,
the recruits must dive

from the Zodiac into the cold water.

Then, swim against the fierce
downdraft of the chopper

and make it to the ladder
before hauling

their entire bodyweight
up a terrifying 50m climb.

All without the safety of a harness.

Strap in.

If you don't (BLEEP) it up
it looks cool as (BLEEP).

If not achieved in under 90 seconds,
they fail the task.

Right, the first one up is
you, number nine.

Staff.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRS)

After failing the last tactical
driving task

and not owning up to his mistakes...

Stop! We do not (BLEEP)
go back into it.

I made the right decision too late.

And what I saw and heard

was you trying to bullshit
your way out of it

because you were embarrassed

that you were the only one
to reverse out of contact.

No, staff, I
wasn't embarrassed...

Stop! (BLEEP) stop!
I made a mistake.

You're really (BLEEP)
annoying me now!

..actor Dan Ewing is keen
to redeem himself with the DS.

I don't really have regrets in life.

I truly operate from a
place of lessons

'cause regrets for me,
it's negative.

Regrets you can't use.
It's just a hollow metric.

So, it's on me to keep my focus

and to really think
with my higher self.

Feel with my higher self.

Go!

Fighting the downdraft,

Dan swims to the ladder.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

Starting the agonising climb

and weighed down by waterlogged

clothes and boots,

he must show control

to avoid falling.

Initially it's your arms
to get onto the (BLEEP)

and then it's just technique.

It's... Everything's here.
It's all in your legs.

(GRUNTS)

Those ladders,

they can be
really dangerous.

You can get your foot caught
in them and fall off them.

You're not attached to anything.

It's not like
you're clipped into a harness.

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

Get in, strap in, strap in!

Reaching the chopper
with 15 seconds to spare...

(YELLS)
..Dan has passed.

I truly believe everybody
is addicted to something.

Could be chocolate,
could be cigarettes,

could be alcohol, could be drama.

Simple.

I'm addicted to bettering myself.

How was that?
(BLEEP) great, staff.

(BLEEP) great.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRS)

You alright?
Yeah, staff, just a swim.

It's (BLEEP) nothing.
Don't worry about it.

Yeah, I'm not a strong swimmer.

No, that's alright.

Next, is world class sprinter
John Steffensen.

More comfortable on the track
than in the water.

I just do not like swimming.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

I freakin' hate being cold
and I hate water.

But I guess what gives me

that absolute drive

is just the fear of

letting myself down.

Go!

Despite his fear of water,

John doesn't hesitate,

leaping in and quickly

swimming to the ladder.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

My whole young adult life
and career I used attack.

Whether it's in a training session,
um, whether it's me

picking a race to run against
the best in the world.

I say, "Yep, let's go for it.

"We're going to have
a crack at this."

Something which I thrive on.
The euphoria of that is so, so cool!

Ascending the tricky ladder,

John sets a quick pace.

It's good.

So, I guess I'm
always in pursuit of that.

Maybe that's my type of drug,
you know, is get...

is that euphoria of when
you believe in yourself,

put everything into it and
then attack a certain situation.

Let's go, let's go, move! Get in!

And you come out

the other side victorious.

Good, let's go, let's go, let's go!

Move! Get in, get your
seatbelt on. Move!

Good effort!

Thank you, staff.

Making the fastest time so far,
John passes with ease.

Number 11 you'll be next.

(TENSE MUSIC)
Standby, go!

The ladder troop extraction
is one of the most physically

demanding extractions
that the Special Forces use.

It's short and sharp.

You must get into the zone as soon

as you grab hold of that ladder.

It's just put your feet

in them rungs

and get up there

as quick as possible.

It needs to be dynamic.
It needs to be explosive.

Come on.

'Cause ultimately, you wanna
get in that helicopter

as soon as possible.

Hold onto this!

Let's go! Up
and in! Get your seatbelt on.

Go!

Getting up that ladder,

you almost hold your breath

the whole way you're up there.

Let's go, move!

Just fast and aggressive
and explosive.

Your lungs should be
bursting out of your chest.

Yes.

Good job, staff.

Both Mark and Sam have passed
the task in the allocated time.

(TENSE MUSIC)

It's now up to dual Olympian
Jana Pittman,

the only woman left to prove
that she can match it with the men.

This is a (BLEEP) man test.

But no female recruit
during SAS selection

has ever successfully
completed the task.

OK, stand by.

Of course I'm doing it
for my beautiful kids.

I'd like them to see

what a powerful woman can do.

Go!

Already struggling
under the downdraft,

Jana strains to swim to the ladder.

Go! Move!

Move!

Gasping for breath,

Jana has exerted a lot of energy

and has used up precious time

before even beginning

the strenuous climb.

She's knackered.

Yeah, she's (BLEEP)
hanging out, struggling.

Finally reaching the ladder,

she starts to clamber up,

fighting to maintain her grip.

Let's go!

The ladder troop extraction
is one of the most dangerous

that's used in the Special Forces.

When it goes wrong,
it goes horribly wrong.

It's not uncommon
that people die in training.

They end up falling off the ladder.

(JANA GRUNTING)

It's (BLEEP).

(BLEEP) hell,
she's not going to make it.

Every second that Jana
is left hanging

the harder it becomes
to support her bodyweight.

For many years I disliked
how tall and big I was.

Being far more masculine
than the average woman

was something that I
carried with me for a long time.

Just feeling very different
from others.

Until you find sport
and then obviously sport,

you wanna be big
and muscly and strong.

With the seconds ticking down,

Jana finds some strength
to pick up speed.

(TENSE MUSIC)

New technique.

It's taken many years
to grow up into the body

that I have now and
be really proud of the fact

that I am a strong muscly woman.

I am loving the fact
when I look into the mirror

my muscles just go like this
and they just get bigger

and bigger and bigger.

And so therefore
your self-confidence grows.

Let's go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Go!

Here, good!

Get up, come on, good!

Yes!

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

(SOFT CHEERFUL MUSIC)

With barely a second to spare,

Jana successfully
completes the task

while also breaking another barrier.

I've never ever seen
a woman do that.

I promise you. Ever.
You're my first.

(JANA LAUGHS AND CRIES)

Amazing, right.

I am very internally driven

but I also do like
the external accolades.

It would be pretty special
to have someone like the DS

actually say physically and mentally
you've got what it takes.

Nothing beats that really.

Hit the path on your way back, go!

Whoo!

Good work, super mum!

Thanks.

So proud of you.

That was so freaking hard.
I had to swim for so long.

I know.

'Cause the-the wind of
the blades kept pushing me away.

I know, I saw.
What happened?

I burned myself on the swim
trying to get to the bloody thing

in the first place.

What have you done to your knee?

Just a little one, tiny little ones.

Right.

The course is designed

to push people physically

and mentally to,

to and beyond their limits.

There will never be concessions
for anybody.

Women can do it.

It's just finding
the right women to do it.

A little bit emotional
there, aren't you?

Yeah, blew a gasket.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.

I just saw you had
a few little tears there,

but you're OK.

Yeah, it was really tough.
You (BLEEP) smashed it.

That took absolutely
everything out of me. It's good.

You smashed it, you did
well. Good effort.

Thank you.

There are some tough,
strong women out there.

You've got the world on your (BLEEP)
shoulders now, don't ya?

Yeah, staff.

Well, you've got
to kick their asses.

The (BLEEP) whole world
of women are going,

you (BLEEP) sort this shit out.

(JANA LAUGHS)

It's just having the mindset
to do it and just to keep going.

Not to out prove a man
but to prove yourself

that you can do it.

"If this letter reaches you

"it means my time on
Earth has ended."

..a grim test of emotion.

"I love you with
all my heart and soul..."

(SOBS)

(SOBS) Sorry.

And later...
Go!

Come on.

Get on your belly.
Get on your stomach.

The military training course...
Number nine, you're pathetic.

..is basically there...
I'm so cooked.

..to gas you out.

Head up.

If you can press the button
next to you now

and call room service,
what would you order?

After two weeks
of minimal army rations,

Mark and John long
for the comforts of home.

I'd go... I'd go T-bone
steak with garlic.

How would you do the T-bone
steak? Medium rare.

Nice. I'd
get the garlic bread.

Yeah.
The chocolate cake.

Uh.

I'm tell him to throw in
one of those chicken burgers

so I could have a couple of bites.

That'd be it.
Ooh.

I would have a steak,
super tender,

medium rare, a
little on the rare side.

Yeah.
Sweet... I love...

Well, I would love
to have sweet potato fries.

Sweet potato, you're a...
Stop that, man.

What are you talking about?

Have you even tried
sweet potato fries?

What are you talking?
Have you tried sweet potato fries?

Why the hell would I try
sweet potato fries...

Because it's (BLEEP) good.

..when there's perfectly
normal fries?

Man, you've lost it.

(WHISPERING) And I would
have five scoops of ice cream. Aw!

(JOHN LAUGHS)
And some biscuits.

I will eat that with zero guilt!

14!

In the last 48 hours of selection,

the DS want to interrogate

the recruits on their
current mindset.

Starting with number 14, John.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

How you finding it so far?

Uh, it's been a whirlwind.
Learnt a lot about myself.

Mm-hm.

Uh, I've come to some home
truths about myself.

Mm-hm.

A lot will change when I leave here.

How did you find today?
How did you take that?

I felt good, staff.
You did?

For the...

This was the first task I felt
good. Oh, really?

The very first one.
I felt clear. I felt calm.

I felt in control.
Mm-hm.

The drill was brilliant.

Really good.
Correct.

What you've done was correct.

It was (BLEEP)
excellent. Mmm.

Thank you, staff.

It's been a long time since
I challenged myself

and it's testing me.

Like...
Yeah.

You know, 'cause I used
a lot of energy with my athletics.

It was 2014, fighting,
running, fighting.

Like you guys talk about
the combat zone

and it's nothing to what you guys do
but, you know, in my head,

every time I stepped out
onto the track

I was thinking this,
"They're the enemy.

I need to get there and I've got
to beat him, him, him, him."

As an athlete, I
never lacked that self-belief.

It was always kick-ass,

self-belief and (BLEEP) everyone.

(LAUGHS)

Nah, that was,

that was my mentality as an athlete.

Just go as hard as you can, man.

Be the man.

Leave it all out on the track.

I wasn't the most talented
of athletes

but my work ethic was superb.

I did all the one-percenters
the last six, seven years.

Don't have to do that anymore.

Has it been hard to get
back into that headspace?

Oh, so hard.
Yeah.

So hard for me.
The demons from day two.

What demons are they?

Just, oh, you're not good
enough. You're too old.

You're cramping all the
time. Self-doubt.

Passed it.
Self-doubt. You passed it.

Your right quad, you know
it's strained, hip flexor's gone,

your knees are gone.

It's just constant, constant.
Don't... You can't do that task.

Nah, you're not gonna do it.
And I've failed a few tasks.

I've been hard on myself.

And then there's other tasks
I've gone OK, well,

what could I have done better
and that's been good

to get back in that mindset.

And that's what I love,
even when you achieve it's like

what could I have done better

'cause that way you're
always bettering yourself.

That way you're always learning.

You (BLEEP) need this
out of everyone.

And you're here
for the right reasons,

which is great.

It's been very physical up to now,
very psychologically demanding.

Right now, we're gonna wrap
that all in a bundle

and we're gonna
chuck you in the deep end

and then we're going to (BLEEP)
throw it at you.

Does that make sense?
Yes, staff.

Keep doing what you're
doing, number 14.

We've seen a huge progress in you.

You've come in here
physically strong,

psychologically we were like, phew,
but you've made some huge steps.

Whatever you're doing up there,
it's (BLEEP) working big time.

Thank you, staff.

Make sure you maintain it
and make sure you have courage

in your convictions.

Understood?
Yes, staff.

Guard!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

In running you have a game plan.

You go and execute that game plan

and you come out
with hopefully success.

My family have experienced
me being an athlete

and the way I
conducted myself in athletics.

I would go into battle. I'd focus.

They'd know to leave me alone.

But I also understand
the toll it has on me personally

and the toll it can have
on the people

that are surrounded by me
which is my family.

So, you know, I'm
a lot softer now these days.

Our primary focus
is our family and our kids.

We put them on this planet
so we need to make sure we give them

the best opportunity
that they deserve.

You know what I learned,
big man? What?

With this? To pull up, bruh.

What do you mean pull up?

I don't know like I... like,
not to get like deep and shit,

but I kind of feel like I've found
like my purpose, you know?

Yeah. Like
I really found it.

Well, that's what
you're meant to do here.

I've never had limitations
in my life, ever, never.

Mmm. Full
pow... You know me, man.

Yeah. Full
power in everything, right?

(BLEEP) it. Always, that was
always the end result, aggression.

(BLEEP) it.
We're going to do it.

But I've realised like it's OK,

like, you know the
growth mindset, it's OK.

Not... not... failure's not
OK, but it's OK.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, I know
what you're saying, yeah.

I've never dealt with like failure,

now I think I got to be easy
on my kids a bit.

Yeah. You
know what I mean?

That's a good place to be in,
man. I think it is.

I think moving forward
it is and it's not weak.

I used to think it's very weak.
No way, bruh. No way, bruh.

That's what I got out of this, mate.
Yeah, well, then that's good.

That's what I've realised.
That's what I'm saying.

That's why I was content.
I felt... Yeah.

I'm feeling peace, mate,

the first challenge I did
brought peace for me.

Yeah.
You know?

Yeah, that's good, mate.
But I had to push every day, bruv.

Mmm. Well,
just (BLEEP) relax for a bit.

Yeah. (BLEEP)
I've done 20 Ks.

Yeah, bruh.

Maturity is a great thing, right?

Being able to, to learn
from the experiences,

being, I'm older now,
being able to go through

a lot more in my life
and I'm still learning.

I'm still understanding myself.
I think that's never gonna stop.

And I'm enjoying that process
and I'm enjoying that because

I've got a family and you know,
you wanna be the best role model

you possibly can be for them.

"Not a day goes by..."

..Sam's emotions outpour.

"Where I've not felt you
by my side, in my breath,

"in the food that I taste,
the laughs that I've shared

"but most importantly
in the centre of my heart."

(CRYING)

(UP-TEMPO MUSIC)

Not all tasks in the SAS
selection course are physical.

(DOOR SLAMS)
Everyone, get up.

To give the recruits
a grim reality check,

chief instructor Ant will now test
their emotional strength.

Alright, listen.

Very, very serious
what you're about to do.

Now every time I deployed
to Afghanistan,

I had to write a letter.

It's called a death letter.

If something were to happen to you,

this letter would go
to the nominated person.

To your wife, or your husband

in the event
that you lost your life.

Think about what
you're putting in this letter.

Your loved ones, your family

will revert to this letter
for comfort.

This will be passed on,
I guarantee you from generation

to generation.

That's how powerful this letter is.

Number four.

Thank you, staff.

It can be whatever you want.

A testimony of who you are.

Regrets.

Inspiration.

I have a beautiful husband
and we have four beautiful children.

As I've got older,
I've come to a realisation

that I very much like my emotion

and like the fact that

I can be very honest

with how I'm feeling

and how things are going in life.

I'd do anything
for people that I love.

(SNIFFLES) Especially
my family and my kids.

My mother is like a rock
to me and my brothers.

Been so lucky

to have a wonderful family.

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC)

Finishing their death letters,
they'll now read them to each other.

OK, if you guys don't mind
I'd like to start first.

Sure. That's great. Thanks, Mark.

It's good for the recruits
to read that letter to each other

so they can action
what they've put in the letter,

because they have the privilege
of going home.

They have the privilege
of seeing their loved ones

and their family again.

So, why wait till you're dead?

So, this is to my wife Silvana.

"Today I head off for my mission.

"If something were to happen
I couldn't get back home to you,

"I am truly sorry.

"I know that Nicholas and Maya
could not be luckier."

Um, sorry, sorry, guys.

"I know that Nicholas
and Maya could not be luckier.

"I know your strength and love
will guide them through

"their paths in life.

"They'll be well taken care of.

"They'll have
all the love around them

"and please let them know Daddy's
always there by their sides."

(GENTLE PIANO MUSIC)

"No matter what
they're going through."

(CRYING) Sorry.

You got it, mate, you got it.

Come on, do it, bruh.
Do it proud, man.

"Tell my little princess Maya
how much I love her.

"Every time I look at her my eyes
light up with and I smile.

"She's the perfect little princess.

"I can't explain the love
I have for our little family.

"You guys are my everything,
my world, my happiness,

"my adventure.

"It all started with you, my love.

"Thank you for saving me
and blessing me.

"Love always and forever,
my incredibly beautiful queen."

Of course I would like
to keep improving as a husband,

being a better father,
a son, a friend, a godfather.

Of course I always

wanna be getting better.

It's very important.

(BREATHING STRESSFULLY)

"If you're reading this,
it means I won't be coming home.

"I am truly sorry
for the heartbreak and pain

"this must cause you all.

"To my beautiful Macedonian goddess,
Katrina, without you..."

(INHALES DEEPLY
AND EXHALES SHARPLY)

"Without you, I would have
continued down a path

"(CLEARS THROAT) that
would have rendered me useless.

"(VOICE BREAKING)
Archie, being your dad

"is the single most
proudest achievement of my life.

"Seeing the world through your eyes
ignited love and positivity

"that was all but gone after
the time your mother and I split.

"I love you, beautiful boy.

"To the rest of you and anyone
else hearing these words,

"I love you all."

The first thing I do in the
morning when I wake up,

after I meditate

is I write what I'm grateful for

and it's always my partner,

my little boy

and I'm just instantly

filled with love.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Having written letters

to their loved ones

in the event they died in combat...

I'll try not to cry through this.

..the recruits now read
them out to each other.

"Dear Paul, Cor, Emily,
Jemima and Charlie..."

Being a mum for me is
my greatest life achievement.

I'm very caring and loving

with my children and my family.

"Firstly, I love you all.
You are the lights of my life.

"Your faces are what I turn
to when I feel lonely, sad

"or vulnerable.

"You give me purpose
and hope in life.

"If this letter reaches you,
it means my time on Earth has ended

"but know I will never be far away.

"Paul, please tell the children
all our stories,

"recall our adventures,
and tell them how much

"I love them every day.

"Kids, listen to Paul
and close your eyes

"and pretend it's me
holding you tight

"and saying those words myself.

"Kids, you're already
such beautiful little people,

"continue to grow
and cherish each other.

"Stay true to
the little family we are.

"Be there to listen.

"Be patient with each other
and try to support each other

"as you grow up.

"Charlie, my little love,
it's your little head I pretend

"to kiss to bed at night
just as I fall asleep.

"Grow strong my little (INAUDIBLE).

"Stay strong for each other.

"I love you. I love you. I love you.

"I love you. I lub you."

It's just a thing my son and I say.

"I lub you, I lub you.
Forever yours, Jana and Mum."

That's wassup.
(CLEARING THROAT)

Let's do this.

Alright, I'll just premise this.

Mine's pretty happy
because I live my life

where I show them every day
so I feel pretty cool about this.

I did it in sections.

So, "To Lola, Rusty and Wolfe,
your dad loves more than ever,

"from the day you were all born.

"I have always tried to provide
for you and most importantly

"make you great human beings.

"Always love one another
and never give up on yourselves

"and always believe.

"Much love, Dad.

"To Sarah, thank you so much
for always being there for me.

"I know that I am
so super proud of you

"and the way you
dedicate yourself to our family.

"I love you all.
In John we trust.

"XXX!"

(JANA LAUGHS AND CRIES)

Oh, my god.

Apologise in advance
if I get emotional.

"Dear Mum, if
you're reading this letter

"then please know
I'm in a safe place now.

"Happy and at peace.

"I'm sorry for your pain right now,
but please one day I hope

"you can see the glory
and sacrifice of my choices.

"You're the best mum, friend
and leader I've known

"along with Dad.

"You taught me to believe
and for that

"I will be forever in your debt.

"To Luke, Thomas and George..."

(SOFT MUSIC)

It hurts, Sammy. You got it,
man. Take a deep breath.

(CRYING) "To Luke, Thomas
and George, my three brothers,

"I love you with
all my heart and soul.

"Not a day goes by where
I've not felt you by my side,

"in my breath
and the food that I taste,

"the laughs that I've shared
but most importantly

"in the centre of my heart."

(SOBS)

"Keep pushing your boundaries,
striving for higher goals.

"You're the three most amazing
men. Be strong, be kind.

"But most of all,
be the Burgess in us all.

"Poppy and Billy...

"the taste from your favourite food

"to the salty taste in your
tears, that's me.

"I'll live on through you both
in every which way.

"So moments of sadness,
you can find me anywhere

"if you look hard enough.

"You're my last thought
and my last breath,

"but most importantly
I'll be in your hearts forever.

"Be kind, be strong,
be there for each other.

"Be fair and be wise.

"Care for one another
and follow your hearts.

"Most of all, believe in yourselves,

"like your father
does so on and forever.

"Love you. Dad."

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

I have learned to feel things,
feel my emotion, feel the pain.

I'm just trying to be a better
role model for my kids,

for my brothers, for my family,
for... for other people.

I'm addressing all my wrong doings,

all my errors that I've made

over the past 12, 18 months

and I'm making amends to that.

Oh, I didn't like that.

Thank you, everyone,
for sharing that.

Thanks for the hug.

We're gonna use that today
to crush it. OK?

That's it. Let's do it.

That was hard.

This was one of the toughest
things I've done

since I've been here.

Agreed.

But I'm so grateful
that I've done it.

Guys, we're, we're blessed.
Let's not (BLEEP) wait.

Let's act on this.
I agree, 100%.

You know? You
guys want to burn this?

Sure. There's
no reason to hold on.

No, that's true, just action.
Yeah, nah, I'm with it.

It's just fleshed out a lot
of beautiful things.

Yeah, exactly.

I'm really grateful
to you all for sharing it.

(EPIC MUSIC)

We're almost there, guys.

Something
doesn't sit right.

..the recruits are caught...

Get out of the
(BLEEP) car! ..in a hostage crisis.

You know you're never
safe on the battlefield.

Being captured is highly likely.

(TENSE MUSIC)

There's plenty of saw dust
in that one actually.

Two Olympians, a rugby league
star. Three. Three.

Three. He's
also been to the Olympics.

Ah, three Olympians.

And a tennis star,
a rugby league star

and an actor walk into a bar.

(LAUGHS)

A fit actor.
(BLEEP) odd one out.

Everyone sort your shit out
and then get in the wagons.

Let's get that spark up our asses.

With less than 48 hours left
in the course,

the five remaining recruits
are desperate to prove

they deserve SAS selection.

Get out then!
Get out.

To do that, they'll need
to master every ounce of strength

in an extreme test
of physical endurance.

Nine, four on the end there.

16. Everybody
take a deep breath.

Let's get ready
to (BLEEP) rumble, OK?

We're gonna do an assault course,
another word for assault is attack.

That's what I need from you.

Designed to push the recruits
beyond their capabilities,

the course involves
several obstacles

spanning 2km
of terrain across water and land.

This will test balance,
strength and stamina.

I don't wanna hear winging,
whining, groaning.

Save that energy to attack
like something (BLEEP) possessed.

Go at it.

In this task,
there is no finish line.

Forced to do lap after lap,
it will only end

when the DS decide

or when the recruits
voluntarily withdraw.

What I actually need
from you is 100%, OK?

More than you've ever
(BLEEP) done before.

We don't know when it's gonna stop.

We don't know
when it's gonna end.

We go and we keep going.

I'm gonna set you off
as individuals.

One, two, three, four,
hands on the sandbags.

The only female recruit left
dual Olympian Jana Pittman

will go first.

When I say go,
you will (BLEEP) go

as quick as you can
like you are being chased

by the tax man.

You happy with that?
Yes, staff.

OK, so, go!

Where are you
(BLEEP) going, muppet?

One at a time.

Come on, number four,
as fast as you can.

The military training course is,

is there to basically gas you out.

Over.

You're expected to employ
every movement

the body can think of.

Let's go, let's
(BLEEP) jump in there!

Don't (BLEEP) loaf, move!

Watch your head. That's it.

Now go, go, faster, faster, move!

Already halfway
through the obstacles,

Jana has started strongly.

Let's go, faster, faster,
out. Sprint!

Sprint, move, let's go,
let's go, let's go, let's go!

To make it to the end
of the course

would be absolutely amazing.

It would just be so incredible

to think that this

38-year-old mother-of-four body
was able to conquer the course.

Straight in, straight in.

Number 11, go!

Tennis legend Mark Philippoussis

sprints to the first obstacle,
motivated by his family.

I know that I have it inside of me

to get through what
I have to get through

so I can go home

and tell them that
their daddy's achieved it.

Roll, roll!

I know that's gonna go on

to help me achieve bigger things.

Catch up with number
11. Catch up!

Get on your belly,
get on your stomach!

Go!

Hit it. Attack it.
Get that thing over.

Exploding from the start
is NRL star Sam Burgess.

I will not quite the course.

I will not quit the course.

That's it.

And up and out.

It's gonna be hard.

It's gonna be challenging,
painful, uncomfortable.

All, all of that. I
just wanna see how far I can go.

Right, straight out,
straight out at the end!

Sprint, number 16
(BLEEP) catch him.

Sprint, sprint, let's go,
let's attack that hill!

Let's go! Attack it!

The only non-athlete,
actor Dan Ewing is next.

I am passing SAS selection.

Under, out. Under!

I thought that was over, staff.

Under, you need to shut up.

I'm saying that because
that's my North Star,

that is my intention.

Will I, I will not VW.

VW is a brand of car to me.

Under and over, let's go!

Go!

Erupting from the start
world class sprinter,

John Steffensen
is the last to leave.

Let's attack, get the
reward. Take it!

Shit, man to be there at the end?

Good, short and sharp, hurry
up. Hurry up, 14.

That's so, so cool.
I need to experience that.

Let's go. Straight out of there.

Faster, faster, move, move!

Nearing the finish, Jana
and Mark tackle the last obstacle.

It's all up to you, number four,
do not let him catch you!

Take some water.

Already exhausted,
they complete the first lap

with Sam close behind.

Come on, 14, catch him.

While they recover,
John overtakes Dan...

Pathetic, number nine.

..whose unable to keep up
with the pro athletes.

Well done, 14, that was one gap.

That'd better been a practice one
'cause that was (BLEEP) pathetic.

Get through those obstacles.
Don't just take your time!

OK.

This time, I want sheer grit,
sweat, determination.

And I'm gonna tell you
something right now.

I will be out here
until we get what I want.

It's down to you.

Stand by!

Go!

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

As the recruits start a second
excruciating lap...

You're gonna be fine.

..Sam Burgess goes hard,
no stranger to pain.

I've seen over my playing career
your body can do amazing things.

Playing in the first grand final
with being 43 years,

I shattered my,
my eye socket and my cheek.

Smashed it in the three spots.

Move, catch, catch him!

You see my face,
it felt like it was gone.

Inside it just felt awful.

I was in shock at the start,
every step I take,

just my face is
like bouncing like this.

Then at half time,
the doctors warned me

that I could lose my eye
and told me not to blow my nose.

And I knew that I had
a chance of losing.

I just wasn't prepared for that.
I could figure I could handle it.

And before I knew
it... Stand up.

..we won, we won the premiership.

Stay up, stay up. Come on, brother.
Stand up, we got to go.

Faster!

Move! Throw
yourself over it, under.

Looking heavily fatigued,
Jana struggles on.

Move, let's go, let's go,
all the way in, all the way in.

When I was an athlete,
um, particularly the 400m,

your whole body is screaming
at you to stop

and you have to ignore it.

You just literally throw up
after every race.

I used to have that ability.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Beat the pain, beat the
pain, you guys.

As Dan runs in to finish...

OK.

..the recruits wait to see
if the DS are satisfied

or if they have to do a third lap.

No way, I'm not going again.
Shut the (BLEEP) up.

I'm so cooked.

Having pushed her body
beyond its limits...

Jana, you can do it.
Nah, I'm done.

..Jana has had enough.

Jana, let's (BLEEP) go, mate.
Shut up! Look at me.

Stand up, stand up now,
stand up, stand up.

I'm so cooked.

Nah, I'm done. Sorry, no.

After two laps of a savage
assault course...

Jana has reached
her limit and collapsed.

Stand up.
Stand up.

Stand up, stand up now. Stand up.

Stand up, stand up.

See, listen to me, suck it in,
stand tall, deep breathes.

Deep breaths.

Are you done, that's it?

Satisfied the recruits
have done enough...

Sort your shit
out. Yes, sir.

And get ready for the next
detail. Do that now.

Good effort.
..the DS call an end to the task.

Here we go.

Come on, Jana, good girl.
Listen up, I'm proud of ya.

Jana, I'm proud of ya. OK?
I'm proud of you.

Struggling to recover,
chief medic, Dr Dan is called in.

How ya going?

Sorry, I was just starting
seeing really bad spots.

Don't apologise for a second.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Might need a bit of
sugar, Doc, so...

What we might do, four,
is put a bag of fluids through you

and just help you out.

No pain in your chest
or anything like that types, no?

I'm just super dizzy and seeing
spots in my eyes, that's all.

Yeah, got you.

Eyes open. Eyes open.

Just 'cause the medical team's here
doesn't mean you switch off, OK?

We go again, that's what we do.

You've got this, number four.

You're (BLEEP) strong
finishing then.

So, keep your eyes open.

Number 16. Yes,
staff. Yeah, I got her.

Come on. Get
amongst your team.

You still a bit woozy,
are you? Yeah.

As Jana is treated
with a hydration IV...

(RETCHING)

..number 14 John goes down...

Sit there for me,
just sit here facing out.

..and must be treated
with oxygen.

Nice deep breaths.

At that stage of the course,

the recruits are drained.

We know that.

Physically and psychologically.

We just want them to give more.

I wanna be patched up and
put back out on the battlefield.

That's what every soldier wants.

(COUGHING)

That's what we've trained
our whole lives to do.

(SOFT MUSIC)

You good to keep going?
Yeah, definitely.

Hey, we're right here
the whole time, OK?

Yeah.

So, you go your hardest,

we'll pick up the pieces
if we need to.

OK, thanks, Dan.
(CHUCKLES)

Come what may.

It's now the last 36 hours
of the course

and as the recruits think
the day is over,

it is only just beginning.

Something doesn't sit right.

Yeah, you're onto something.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Sensing danger,

the recruits
are about to be captured

by armed hostiles
in a simulated attack.

(EXPLOSIONS AND GUNSHOTS)

Get out, get out.

Get out of the (BLEEP) car.

Get out of the (BLEEP) car.

Get out! Get out! Get out now!

You know you're never
safe on the battlefield.

You never know
what's going to happen.

Get out of the (BLEEP) car.
Get out of the car!

Get out, get out the car.

Get down, get back out.
Get back here. Get up here.

Get your hands against the
car! Up here, move!

Don't (BLEEP) around
right now, alright?

Keep moving. Yeah.

You, with me, let's go!

(TENSE MUSIC)

Because you're in enemy territory
that's where we operate.

Being captured is highly likely.
