MAN: Go!

I won't say "Welcome to Hell Week",
'cause you're already in it!

NARRATOR: 14 everyday Aussies...

MAN: I'm a dancer.
Move!

WOMAN: I am a youth worker.
(WOMAN GRUNTS)

I'm a bodybuilder, and I have
the brains to match the muscles.

Do you work out?
I do.

Thanks for coming out
and showing me.

(CHUCKLES)

NARRATOR: are taking on
the most intense selection course

ever attempted.

What was that? This isn't
the (BLEEP) Olympic dive squad!

(SIGHS)
As the early casualties fell...

If you can't do it,
give me your number!

I can't do this. Sorry.

Off you go!

I think I'd be able to walk away
with my head held high.

..one recruit's mistakes...

You, Number 1, are (BLEEP) useless.

..landed him under fire.

You've got a rude awakening
not only coming for you,

but coming for the rest of your
(BLEEP) muckers in there.

MAN: Come on.
WOMAN: That's it, boys.

Come on!
..the punishment of Hell Week...

Oh! (BLEEP)
..heats up.

(INTENSE MUSIC)

I can't breathe!

The recruits struggle...
MAN: Don't panic! Hey!

..to stay alive.
Look at me. Look at me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Then...

I was in the Federal Police
for 18.5 years.

I ended up running the prime
minister's protection detail.

..a bombshell admission...

I (BLEEP) up a lot of my life.

I lost my career, my reputation.
(BLEEP) me.

..will shock the DS.

That's (BLEEP) bullshit.

(TENSE MUSIC)

In the darkness before the dawn,

the 12 remaining recruits wait
to begin day two of SAS selection.

They're gonna be hit hard
from the beginning,

and it's not gonna let up.

(METAL CREAKS)

Aches, pains.

Living conditions are gonna be
so out of the norm for you

that you think,
"How are we gonna survive this?"

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

For Number 3, stay-at-home mum Sandy,

the harshness of the course
is sinking in.

So, I woke up with a mouse
running across my face.

WOMAN: Did you? Oh.

So nice.
Ah! (CHUCKLES)

I'm a stay-at-home mum.

I support my husband,
I run the household,

I've got two kids,
take them to school.

It feels a bit Groundhog Day.

After we all went to the bathroom
about 2:00 in the morning,

that's when I got some sleep.

It's been so long since
I've pushed my limits.

Being able to strip back, like,
all of the normal

and have a look inside yourself,

I feel like there's this
huge potential in me

that I haven't got to experience
yet,

so with this opportunity, I'm really
looking forward to finding that.

The rough conditions of camp
are taking their toll

on Number 4, teacher Kellie.

I am a teacher
in a specialist school.

I am so invested in the students
that I work with,

but it can definitely be
a tough job.

WOMAN: How are you?

Huh?

Flat? Yep.

That's why I want to come
on this course.

I want to put myself first for once,

and figure out who I am
underneath all these layers,

both mentally and physically.

A lack of sleep and basic rations
make it even harder to cope.

(SCOFFS) Luxury.
MAN: Thanks, mate.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

That is the rankest porridge.

For Number 12, influencer Lisa,

the miserable conditions
are much tougher than expected.

Oh, (BLEEP).

WOMAN: Oh, no.

I'm a fitness influencer,

and the reason why I signed up
to this course

is because my dad passed away
last year,

and I always felt like
I was never good enough.

He was on his deathbed
and he had so many opportunities

to say to us,
"I'm so proud of you."

But I never, ever got to hear my dad
say that to me.

So I'm doing this course to really
make my dad and my family proud.

(SHRIEKS) Oh! Oh, my god!

That was a (BLEEP) mouse!

There's a dead mouse in the water!

(BLEEP) me. Jesus. Ahh!

How sad.
Oh, my god!

ANT: Right, everyone jump on
the waggons! Let's go!

Go! Move!

Still hungry, and running on empty,

the recruits are coming to terms
with the grim realities

of being an SAS soldier.

On this course, they're going to
realise very quickly

why it's called Hell Week.

Come on, quick as you can.

Because that's exactly where they're
going - into the recesses of hell.

But this is our reality.

And you will start to get used to
the stress, the pressure.

Right, listen in.

What we're about to see in a minute
is the LTE -

Ladder Troop Extraction.

It's basically how we,
as special forces operators,

get on and off a lot of targets.

Watch the demo. About-turn.

That means turn around!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Launching from a Zodiac
at high speed...

Let's go, Ollie, go!

..the recruits must first
brace themselves for the shock

of the icy cold water.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Swimming under the intense
downdraft of the rotor blades,

they need to reach the ladder

before making the perilous 15m climb
to the chopper -

all without the safety of a harness.

The Ladder Troop Extraction will
push them to their breaking point.

Some of them won't even make it
to the ladder.

I've been on a training exercise

where someone just couldn't make
the ladder climb,

they fell off, and by the time
they dragged his body onto the boat,

it was too late.

That's how dangerous the
Ladder Troop Extraction can be.

Right, about-turn.

Looks easy, doesn't it?

I'm gonna pair you up.

I want to see the fastest person
up the ladder. So it's a race.

Right, the first pair will be
Number 3 and Number 12.

Oh, (BLEEP).

What, did you... Were you hoping
I was just gonna stand you down?

Sorry.

Shut the (BLEEP) up.
Sorry!

Right, go on, then.

Everyone else look and learn
from other people's mistakes.

First to undergo
the dangerous extraction

is Number 12, influencer Lisa,

and Number 3,
stay-at-home mum Sandy.

What's going through your head?

It's not a crap hat.
That's what my dad says.

A crap hat?
Yeah.

Is your dad a paratrooper?
He was.

My sister and my brother and my dad
have all been in the military,

and they've all sacrificed most of
their life for the military.

You do him proud today, yeah?

Yes, staff.
Yeah?

Having all your family
in the military

and you not being in the military,

I guess I want to see if I've got
some of what it takes,

or some of what they had.

Stand by! Stand up! Hold!

(TENSE MUSIC)

Go!

As the recruits take the icy plunge
and fight against the downdraft,

Number 3 Sandy is first to start
the treacherous climb.

Being on this course, I do feel like
I have something to prove to myself.

We've got the kids,
my house has got a picket fence.

It's really cliche, and I want to
step outside of that comfort zone.

I want to be uncomfortable,

and to show the kids who I am now,
I'm not just a stay-at-home mum.

(DETERMINED ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

MAN: She's almost there.
Yeah.

Let's go, Sandy.
Come on. Come on.

Go!
Come on.

Move! Hurry up! Get in there! Move!

NARRATOR: Reaching the safety
of the chopper in good time,

Number 3 Sandy
has passed the task.

But as she recovers,

Number 12 Lisa hasn't yet
reached the ladder,

struggling to keep her head
above the waterline.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Get a bit closer. Get a bit closer.
She's (BLEEP).

Go to the right there.
Go to the right. She's struggling.

(TENSE MUSIC)
(LABOURED BREATHING)

Five years ago,
I got stuck in a rip.

The waves just kept coming,

and it got stronger
and stronger and stronger.

Since then,
I've always been afraid of water,

I've always been scared of water.

Go! Swim!

Drowning is the most scariest thing.

Don't panic! Hey!

Unable to make it to the ladder,

Lisa tries to get back to the Zodiac.

Give me your hand! Give me
your hand! Give me your hand!

Stop (BLEEP) panicking, alright?

Sit down.

Alright, no, calm down.
You weren't gonna...

You weren't gonna drown!

Alright? Calm down.

What happened? You (BLEEP)
didn't fancy the ladder?

(PANTING) I just thought
I was gonna drown.

You should be crying, 'cause you
didn't get to the (BLEEP) ladder.

You just need to (BLEEP)
sort your head out.

Successful recruit Number 3
debriefs with DS Foxy.

It's just so (BLEEP) hard,

but keeping the ladder close to
my chest, it was easier, staff.

Right,
get your Bergen and pull it back,

and bring your Bergen here
so there's separation between

(BLEEP) those that did
and those that didn't.

(TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)

Next to attempt the daunting climb

is Number 8,
holistic health coach James,

and Number 1, bodybuilder Bassim.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Already, James is quick to find
and scale the ladder.

JAMES: I am a holistic health coach,

so I am very much all about
sort of growth and development.

I try to always keep
a positive mindset.

I'm here because I want to grow.

I'm here because I want to learn.

I want to prove that I am
spiritually tougher than I think.

Come on, buddy.

Reaching the chopper,
he boards safely in record time.

Failing to impress the DS on day one,

the ladder extraction task
is make-or-break for Bassim.

I wouldn't say I necessarily fear
heights and water.

My biggest fear is definitely
gonna be of failing,

and not learning from failure.

'Cause I'm in the pursuit
of one goal,

and that's to discipline myself
by getting outside my comfort zone

and achieving through mastery
of the body and the mind.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Bassim reaches safety
much later than James.

ANT: You're too slow!

Having failed...
Go, go!

..he's forced back into
the biting water...

(BLEEP) off!

..and faces an agonising swim
to shore.

What happened there?

I tried to use my legs, but he got
to the ladder quicker than me.

(BLEEP) I was expecting
big things from you.

I don't care about that part of it.
(BLEEP) needed to get up quicker.

Go on, off you go.
Yes, staff.

OLLIE: Ladder Troop Extraction
is tough.

Go!

The ladder is flexible.

Once you're cold, you're wet,
your hands don't work properly,

you have to wrap yourself around
and try and control the ladder.

Every time you move your foot,
every time you move your hand,

you've got to make sure
it's placed in the correct place.

It takes a lot of technique
and a lot of grunt

if they are gonna succeed.

Rat up a drainpipe.

And if you get it wrong,
you don't get second chances.

You're (BLEEP) gone! Gone!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

The dangers in this task

are you have to try and reduce
the amount you use your arms,

otherwise your arms will blow out
and you'll become totally exhausted.

You could fall in the water,
you could die.

(WOMAN GRUNTS)
All the way, come on!

(GRUNTS, SCREAMS)

There's a whole load of things that
could go absolutely (BLEEP) wrong.

I can't breathe! I can't breathe!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

Breathe!

Done! Over! Get a grip of yourself!

NARRATOR: Next to tackle
the risky mission

is the youngest recruit,
Number 6, surfer Mitch,

and the oldest, Number 7,

disgraced ex-Federal Police officer
Gary.

GARY: I grew up in Western Sydney.
I had a very good upbringing.

I had a loving family.

The apple of my parents'
and my nan's eye as well.

OK, stand by!

I joined the Australian
Federal Police in 1999.

And my primary role was
to look after Kevin Rudd

and run the protection detail
for him.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

I had everything that
everybody on the outside

would consider a success.

And then I went and
(BLEEP) it all up.

I've gone through
a lot of heartache,

a lot of trouble
that I've caused myself.

After having a long time of struggle

and letting people down
and letting myself down,

I need to find who I am inside,
deep inside.

And I've worked really hard on
trying to become a better man.

To me, this will be the acid test.

Hurry up! Let's go! Go!

This is the way that I find that
out, and that's why I'm here.

MAN: Grab it. Come on, buddy.

What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

Next...

Who's the weakest
amongst the group?

..recruits forced
to turn on each other.

We will only take the best with us.

And later, Gary bears all.

I was in the Federal Police
for 18.5 years.

I had a gambling addiction.

You were a police officer?
Yep.

And you've gambled away $2 million?

Your house, your family?
Everything.

NARRATOR: Attempting the dangerous
ladder extraction,

Number 7 Gary pushes his ageing body
up the wavering ladder...

but is no match for
the 22-year-old Mitch,

who is half his age.

Get in! Get in!

Battling fatigue...
Hurry up!

..Gary fails to reach the chopper
in good time.

You were (BLEEP) last!
Jump! Move! Go!

FOXY: Hurry up, Number 7!

Last to face the punishing task
is Number 5, dating coach Sarah,

and Number 9, youth worker Beck.

BECK: I grew up on a farm, looking
after animals, building fences.

I learned how to use a chainsaw
before I learned how to use a pen.

It's very backwards. It was tough.

So, yeah, I feel like I've got grit
and perseverance in bucketloads.

Stand by!

I have pretty high expectations
of myself,

and that does put me under
a lot of pressure.

Hold on, face forward.

But at the end of the day,
nothing scares me.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Number 5 Sarah moves through
the icy water,

and is quick to the ladder...

Get in there!

..and passes the task.

Below her, Number 9 Beck
struggles against the downdraft.

Come on! Let's move it!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

(GASPING FOR AIR)

Barely afloat,
and unable to reach the ladder,

she starts to go under.

Get on it! There! Get on it!

Get a bit closer. She's (BLEEP).
Go to the right there.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Get the boat in to her!

Come to me.

(PANTING)

Are you OK?
I'm sorry!

OK, calm down, calm down. You're OK.

Hey, look at me. Open your eyes.

I'm OK.
You're OK.

OK, I'm OK.
You're OK. Look at me.

Look at me.
I'm OK.

You're OK.
OK.

Come on, then. Sit up.

Very difficult today, huh?
(BLEEP) Yeah.

(RETCHES) Ooh!

How much did you drink?
A lot!

Alright.
(GROANS)

You know you're not really a fish,
right?

Yeah, I know! (PANTING)

Have you swam in water before?
Yes, I have, staff.

Believe it or not,
I used to be a surf lifesaver.

(BLEEP) hell.
(LAUGHS)

Thank (BLEEP) I never got into
trouble on your beach.

(GROANS)

Don't go (BLEEP) vomiting up on me.

Yes, staff.
Go on, off you go.

The task is now complete.

You two, I don't know what
the (BLEEP) you're doing here.

And chief instructor Ant
shows his disappointment

at the lack of effort from
some recruits.

Didn't even (BLEEP) make it
onto the helicopter

whilst it's (BLEEP) hovering,
whilst it's a target,

whilst you've got people on there,
(BLEEP) lives on there,

waiting for you two
(BLEEP) sorry arses

to get on the (BLEEP) helicopter,
and you can't even make it there!

Start thinking about if you
(BLEEP) deserve to be here,

'cause most of you (BLEEP) don't!

Move!

(TENSE MUSIC)

Go! Move!

LISA: Oh, my (BLEEP) god.
That was the hardest thing for me.

I almost thought I was gonna drown.

Yeah, like,
from the top of the water...

(PANTING) You can't breathe.
I couldn't breathe.

(EXHALES) (BLEEP)

With so many failures
in the troop extraction task,

the DS want to expose and weed out
the weakest recruits.

Out! Get your Bergens on your back!

It's important that the team
is honest with each other.

Stand there. Face this way.

So at the end of a task,
we will call them out.

Who's the weak link?

And it's that brutal honesty
that makes a good team.

Number 2, come out here.

Who's the weakest amongst the group?

(TENSE MUSIC)

MAN: 12.
Number 12. In you go.

Number 13. Let's go.

Who doesn't deserve to be here?

Number 12, staff.
In you go. Move!

Who's the burden in the team?
Who's not the team player?

Number 12, staff.
In you go.

Who's the one that
you're dragging along?

12, staff.
Number 12, staff.

MAN: Number 12, staff.
MAN: Number 12, staff.

MAN: Number 12, staff.

And it's absolutely crucial
that you're honest.

9.
Number 9. In you go. Move!

Because you can't afford to
drag anyone through.

Number 9, staff.
In you go.

Number 4, staff.
Number 4, staff.

Number 4. In you go.

On the battlefield,
you need absolutely everyone

and everything
to get the mission done.

That's all I want,
is (BLEEP) honesty and integrity.

We will only take the best with us.

When I say go,
disappear into the accommodation.

Go. Move. Disappear! Move!

Number 1 and Number 2,
can you jump on the fires?

(INDISTINCT MUTTERING)

MAN: Are you right?
Yeah, I'm fine!

I knew that was coming.

Don't take it personally.
No, it's fine!

NARRATOR: Despite being named
as the weakest recruit,

Number 12 Lisa is putting on
a brave face.

You're fine.

'Cause you knew they were
gonna do that anyway.

I'm sorry, mate. I'm sorry.
No, physically, I'm the weakest.

I believe that.
Mentally, no, I don't think so.

That's why you're gonna keep going,

isn't it?
Yeah.

If someone says that I'm weak,
I'm gonna say,

"You're wrong. I'm not weak."

That will fire me up,
and that will make me work harder.

I'm sorry, Beck.
Oh, no!

I feel like shit.
No, you're all good.

Like...
You're all good.

Oh...

(LAUGHS)
Honestly, I don't even think

you're weak. Like, that's the thing.

Like, everyone's strong here.
Nah, it's all good. It's all good.

Whilst Lisa and Beck take
the feedback in their stride,

Number 4, teacher Kellie,
is rattled by the experience.

If you're gonna VW,
it's in the middle of something

that's real hard,
not standing in front of the fire.

Get your stuff on.

KELLIE: My biggest fear
is not being good enough.

Not being good enough for
the students that I work with.

Not being good enough
for my parents sometimes.

Not being good enough
in relationships.

I think that's why I want to
come on this course,

because I want to reveal to myself,

no-one else, just myself,

that I am good enough
and I am capable.

I broke up with my ex-girlfriend,
like, three weeks ago.

We just weren't showing up
for each other.

How long ago did you come out
to your parents, or to your mum?

Um, three years ago.
OK.

So my last relationship with
the last male I was with,

it was pretty bad, pretty toxic.

He tried to strangle me
and all that.

Mum had to get him off me.

He always just, like, put me down.

But he's not the reason why
I came out.

And I didn't really make it
a big, like, "Hey, I'm gay!"

I just brought a girl home one day.
Yep.

My father was really good.
It was just my mum. My mum...

My mum struggled with it a lot, and
I think she still struggles with it.

Yeah.
Um, yeah.

I feel like I've kind of
disappointed her in a way,

which is hard. 'Cause I'm always,
like, trying to make her proud.

Yeah, yeah. We all want our parents
to be proud of us, right?

But we don't have any control over
whether they are or not.

Yeah, that's true.

Right? And the reason I ask is 'cause
I wanted to ask whether or not,

irrespective of that difficulty,
if you feel better.

Oh, 100%.
Yep.

When I'm with a girl,
I'm kind of like just really proud.

Yep.
Be proud and let them judge.

Well, people judge.
Yeah.

Whether you do what you want to do
or do what they want you to do,

they're still gonna judge you.
It's never about you.

It's about them. Yeah, yeah!
It's always about them.

It's like a therapy session,
these chats, isn't it?

It's good.
I know!

This whole week is like
a therapy session.

NARRATOR: As Kellie gets support
from her fellow recruits,

the DS gather to assess their
performances in the task.

So, we paired them off.

We had Number 3 with Number 12.

That was a clear, clear win
by Number 3. She did well.

12 was just... kept going on about
the fact that she nearly died.

She's, like, your typical gym bunny.
Yeah.

You take her outside the gym
that she probably works well in,

she just falls to pieces.
Drama queen as well.

Um, Number 9.

Oh, just, do you know what?

No different to Number 12.

She got sprayed in the face...
(IMITATES GASPING)

..breathed it in,
turned on her back,

and then straight away
looked for the safety boat.

She's on borrowed time.
I can't see her lasting much longer.

Number 13, strong up that ladder.
Whizzed up that ladder.

He's explosive.

He's been doing well so far.

Probably the frontrunner
on the course at the moment.

7 was always going to be
the last one up the ladder.

Fair dues to him, he got up there,
but (BLEEP) me, he was slow.

He's come on the course
physically unprepared.

He's out of his depth,
and guess what, he's drowning.

Let's bring him in, then.

Yeah.
Yep.

NARRATOR: Next...

Someone who's top-level,
looking after the prime minister...

..Gary reveals a dark secret.

I had a corporate credit card,
and I was using it gambling.

Got (BLEEP) up, and then
the last time was just monumental.

(BLEEP)

And later...

What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
Where's your equipment?

..a brutal endurance race...
(WOMAN GROANS)

..reaches boiling point.

I'm gonna VW.

What, you're gonna let your
(BLEEP) team down, are you?

I don't even know...
Make a (BLEEP) decision!

(TENSE MUSIC)

WOMAN: There we go. (GROANS)

Bloody hell!

I think they should make three
sit-downs and one stand-up.

That would've been easier.
Oh, yeah, that's a good idea.

'Cause even if the boys stand up
on these two, they're still gonna...

Might just have to get the
hand sanitiser and everything.

MAN: 7!

NARRATOR: With a dismal performance
in the day's task...

Right, come here.

Put your hands up against there.

..the DS summon the eldest recruit,

Number 7, Gary,
in for questioning.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Pull your chair in.

How old are you?
44.

What are you doing here?

Uh, I (BLEEP) up a lot of my life,

and the last four years,
I've been working hard on...

This some kind of (BLEEP) rehab
for you?

What do you mean, you (BLEEP) up?
Are you an addict? Are you...

What do you mean, you (BLEEP) up?

Yeah, I, um, I was...
I had a gambling addiction,

a bad gambling addiction
for a number of years.

I had a good job. I (BLEEP) that up.
I lost close to $2 million.

I lost my career, my reputation.
What job did you have?

I was in the Federal Police
for 18.5 years.

You were a police officer?
Yes.

18 years in the police force?
Yes, staff.

And you (BLEEP) gambled away
$2 million?

Pretty much, yes, staff.
What, your house, your family...

Everything.

Your career...
Everything, yep.

Talk me through when you first
joined the police force.

Um, I spent a couple of years just
doing Operations, Investigations,

and I was fortunate enough
to go to Surveillance.

During that time,
September 11 happened,

and not long after that,
I joined Close Protection.

I was looking after politicians,
ambassadors, consuls general.

I ended up running the
prime minister's protection detail.

Well, you must have been good
at your (BLEEP) job.

I'd like to think so.

So what happened?

I... Ultimately, I was...
I was masking some insecurities.

I was struggling. I had depression.

And for me, gambling was an escape
that took that... that noise away.

And so I... I kept hiding those
insecurities, and masking...

It wasn't... Um...

I was just...
That's (BLEEP) bullshit.

No. Not you.
Not someone at that level.

They're just (BLEEP) excuses.

Someone who's very capable
to get to the top level

of looking after
the (BLEEP) prime minister.

Because you (BLEEP) can't afford
to fail at that level.

There's something that
(BLEEP) happened.

Because you don't just all of
a sudden just (BLEEP) stoop

into (BLEEP) depression
because you think you're gonna fail

when you're a very
(BLEEP) capable person.

Was there a memorable moment,

a trigger that happened where
you thought, you went back home,

and you thought,
"I don't want to be here anymore"?

"Right, I want to (BLEEP)
self-destruct.

"Here's a button. Guess what?
Wallop."

I had a gambling addiction
for over ten years,

so there was times when
it went away and come back,

went away and come back.

It started...
from the year my nan passed away.

There we go.
That's...

you know, what some have suggested

is the start of that trigger
of the depression.

She was my dear nan. She was...

You know, I was the apple
of her eye. I was...

You know, I was the one. And...

And then she... she passed.

It still gets me. But...
But then I...

You know, I don't know. I felt weak.
I felt like I was struggling.

But again, in that environment,

I didn't ask the questions
of where to go.

I just, I didn't know where to go.
I didn't want to stick my hand up

and say I was struggling.
No. Yep.

I didn't want to put myself forward
for that.

So I hid it and I masked it.
And then I got over it. And then...

You thought you got over it.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Yeah. And then it crept back in.

And then again I thought I got over
it and then it crept back in,

and then the last time was just...
It was just monumental.

It was (BLEEP)...
I made a lot of horrendous mistakes.

Tell me when it got really bad,
when you thought,

"(BLEEP),
there's no turning back now.

"I'm on (BLEEP) self-destruct."

I had a corporate credit card,

and I was using it to give me money
that I lost gambling.

I was asking, you know, friends,
family to pay for things that I...

'cause I didn't have the money.

So you put yourself under
that much (BLEEP) pressure.

You kept thinking,
"Tomorrow I'll get myself out.

"I'll have a big win. I'll do this."

Yeah, every time. I thought I'd stop

"after this Saturday,
after this win, after this..."

I was... I was... I was just going
harder and harder and harder,

and something was gonna give.

You obviously got the (BLEEP) sack,
right? You got fired?

Uh, I resigned. They let me resign.

They let you resign?
I got charged. Yep.

And how much in debt were you?

Uh, the... From the AFP was 45,000.

(BLEEP) me.

You think you've been through hell
and back.

Trust me, the (BLEEP) hard work
starts now.

With your experience,

with your mindset
and with what you've been through,

you should be leading the way
like you once did.

So we expect a lot from you,
especially after

this (BLEEP) interview here.
Yes, staff.

You've just raised the bar
in my head.

I expect a (BLEEP) hell of a lot
from you now.

Yes, staff.
I expect you to be (BLEEP) up there.

And the moment you're not, I'm gonna
be on you like a (BLEEP) rash.

Do you understand me?
Yes, staff.

'Cause all that shit is in the past
now. And now you need to prove

to yourself that it (BLEEP)
stays there.

Guard!

It's hard, in the position
that he was in, to talk.

It's like with us, isn't it?
Oh, yeah. I mean...

(BLEEP) tough men, we don't...

We haven't got no problems.
We don't want to talk.

Pain is always short-term.
Remember that. OK?

Yes, staff.

I've been to the depths of hell
in my own life.

I let down everybody.

I want my family to know that
their faith in me wasn't misled.

(BIRD CAWS)

MAN: Hey, Luke.
Have you got your wet undies on?

Yes...? Yep.
Have they got...

Are these yours?
Have mine got...

Oh, (BLEEP). I might have yours on.
Sorry, brother.

That's alright, mate.
We're all close here.

Yeah.
(LAUGHS)

GARY: It's like living in a college
share house around here, isn't it?

Bra and undies everywhere.
(CHUCKLES)

NARRATOR: It's day three
of SAS selection.

OLLIE: Get on the parade square!

Come on, move it!

(BLEEP)

As newly made duty recruit,

it's up to Number 3, Sandy,

to get her fellow recruits ready
in quick time.

SANDY: Bass, your shit's everywhere,
mate. Your bag's not even packed!

And Number 1, bodybuilder Bassim,
is dragging his feet.

Right, I'm gonna serve eggs
to whoever wants it.

WOMAN: Yep, coming.
If you're not there in a minute,

you're not getting an egg. Come on!

With little time to fuel themselves,
any delays will keep the DS waiting.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Sorry,
I was helping Bass get dressed.

We all did.
(BLEEP) (CHUCKLES)

We're cutting it fine.

Yeah, we need to leave, hey?

Can you tell Bass hurry up,
'cause I can't eat until they've...

Yeah.
..all have their (bleep) egg.

Hurry up.

Get legging... with an egg.

Sorry, guys.

Not allowed to eat her single egg
before all recruits are fed theirs...

Bin.
Yeah.

Go, go, go!

..duty recruit Sandy can finally get
some meagre nourishment

just in time.

(SANDY COUGHS)

(SANDY COUGHS)

That's what happens when you have to
chuck down an egg...

Whole?

..because people weren't (BLEEP)
ready in time for me to (BLEEP) eat.

(COUGHS)

Ah!

(TENSE MUSIC)

Let's get aggressive with
what's about to come.

It's going to be long, it's going to
be cold, it's going to be wet.

Let's get the (BLEEP) out of here,
stand by, go! Move!

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

Every second counts!

Let's get in there - boom!

(ENGINES START)

For their second task of day two,

the recruits are taken deep
into rugged bushland...

Oh, here she goes.

OK, we've got a vomiter.

..with the rough terrain and constant
movement making number 12 Lisa, sick.

But worse than that
is what awaits the recruits.

Let's get out, move!

Go, go, go.
Move!

Move! Move! Move!

Grab your bergens,
stick them on your back,

make your way to the DS.

Let's go!

One straight line in front of me,
straight across the road!

You're just about to enter
a whole world of pain!

Move, number 4!

What we're going to do is carry out

a specialist equipment
rapid extraction.

Separated into three teams,

the recruits must haul
a bulky 50 kilo tyre

representing vital equipment

along a rocky and unrelenting
4km bush track.

Using maps along the way,

they must also find, and retrieve,
two additional tyres

in a backbreaking race
to the finish line.

Everybody gives 100%,
everybody gets stuck in, OK?

I'm going to put you into teams now
so listen.

This is red team.

Number 4, come out to front.

Being named the three weakest
of the group...

Number 9.

You are the blue team.

Yes, staff.

..they're now given the opportunity
to prove themselves to the DS

and their fellow recruits.

Number 12.

Your time to shine, number 12.

Drop your bergens.

Team leaders come with me.

The idea of choosing a weaker member
to lead puts the pressure on them

and hopefully it builds
their confidence.

See that water edge there,
see the yellow tyre?

Who's yellow team?

I'm red team.

I'm yellow.
(BLEEP) hell.

Sorry.

You're yellow team,
that's your equipment, OK?

In there you'll find blue...

Leading team yellow is number 12,
influencer Lisa.

I can run a bootcamp with 200 to 500
people in front of me,

but when it comes to being a leader
for the SAS,

I'm not sure how I'm gonna be.

We sacrifice ourselves and our
team members to get the job done.

That's what we do.

Guys, have it like...
That's what we signed up to do.

Number 11 shut the (BLEEP) up.
Yes, staff.

Do not talk when I'm talking,
do you understand?

Do you understand me?
Yes, staff.

Don't get on the wrong side of me,
number 11 - trust me.

(DRAMATIC STING)

As soon as you hear me say Go you
motivate your team to get moving.

STAND BY, GO! LET'S GO!

Move it!

It's grab, go, head down, arse
up, and go. Brute force...

Run for that water!

It is all muscle and all endurance.

Come on, guys, let's go!

Nearing the first tyre,
team yellow have a narrow lead...

Everybody, get in there!

..as number 1, Bassim,
enters the water

without stopping to get
his team's tyre.

Oi! What about your (BLEEP)
equipment, braindead? Oi!

What the (BLEEP) are you doing?

Get your equipment!

Get the chain!

Where's your equipment?

LISA: Let's go.
Push it.

Numbnuts!

Push it! Sorry, Bass. Push it.

Get out!

Drag it out!
I got the chain.

There's no silver medallist!

Come on, boys, drag it!

Come on, let's go! Move!

As team red,
led by number 4 Kellie...

Try and keep that chain
as straight as possible.

..and team blue...
Good job, guys!

..led by number 9, Beck,
push ahead...

Come on, keep opening up this lead.

Team yellow, led by number 12,
Lisa, are now lagging behind.

Come on, team leader, motivate them,
get them going.

Tyre pull is designed to represent
an extraction of equipment.

(BLEEP) move.

We were behind the enemy lines
in the mountains of Afghanistan

and we had equipment
parachuted into us

and it was (BLEEP) vehicle engines,
ammunition, fuel...

Come on, red team!

..and we literally had to
(BLEEP) donkey the whole thing

for about 15 k's.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Imagine carrying a
Land Rover engine,

how awkward that was
and how heavy that was.

It's horrendous.

Keep pushing!

Come on, Lisa. Come on.

Already behind the other teams,
yellow leader, number 12 Lisa,

isn't coping with the heavy workload.

Lisa, you gotta pull.

I'm trying my best, guys!

Red team, let's move!

OLLIE: If you can't be (BLEEP),
hand in your number and (BLEEP).

LISA: Physically, my body
might let me down,

but it will take a lot for them
to break me mentally.

GARY: Good stuff, guys.

OLLIE: Give everything you've got,
come on!

(LISA CRIES OUT)

IZZY: Put down the chain,
let's pick up our leader.

Alright, come on.
Who's in front?

Lisa struggles to lead her team,
and with her body failing,

number 7, ex-federal police officer
Gary, takes over.

Tell me when.

Let's go! Let's go!

I was the team leader of the
Prime Minister's protection team.

Come on, come on.

I still feel like a leader.

I am still that person.

Come on!

BECK: Rendezvous-point,
right-hand side.

Out in front, team blue,
led by number 9 Beck,

reach the first RV point, locating
their second tyre from the scrub.

Roll. Roll.

BECK: When I'm under the pump, a
switch does get flicked in my mind

and all of a sudden I turn into
this, you know,

leader and person in charge...

Yep, put it on top
and wrap the chain around it.

I go into a different zone.

When we get up the top,
we have to turn right.

Coming second behind team blue,

team red and leader number 4 Kellie
find their second tyre.

Where's that map?

Who's the team leader?
Who's the team leader?

Coming last, team yellow is yet to
locate their next tyre.

You're supposed to have a map
and send them to fetch it!

While Lisa tries to work out
where she is and what to do...

I'll come, Bass. I'm with you.
I'm with you.

..the second tyre is found.

I'm a team player
and I hate letting people down.

What is that?

A map, isn't it?

Was.

If I think that the team is
better off without me, then yeah,

I'll put my hand up and say that
you guys are better off without me.

I'm going to VW.

You don't have to.
Nah, I have to.

What, are you going to let
your (BLEEP) team down, are you?

Let's go.

Are you going to let your team down?

You're better than that.
You're better than that.

I...
Make a (BLEEP) decision!

Make a decision!

I'm happy to stay,
I'm just confused where we're going.

Get out the map.
Confused?

It's a (BLEEP) straight line!

OK, what's the plan?

Give that to me.

Go on stand over there.

You don't ha-...

Our minds will give up
way before our bodies

and it's about being able to push
past that mindset of giving up.

'Cause when you do go to war,

you don't get to decide
when it's gonna stop,

you know, you don't get to
throw in the towel,

you have to keep on going.

Your team leader
has decided to give up on you.

She was doing (BLEEP) all anyway.

Now lugging a punishing 100 kg
and one recruit short,

DS Ollie throws team yellow
a lifeline.

Stop.

Take this tyre off,
go back to one tyre.

Hurry up.

Now in with a chance
to gain some ground,

they set off on the last 2km...

Let's go. Just keep moving.

..as Lisa leaves the course
for good.

(CRIES) I'm just physically done.

Like, my body couldn't take it.

Come on.
Come on!

Ryan! Come on, let's (BLEEP)
open this gap up on the hill.

(STRAINS)

Why is that chain loose?!
(BLEEP) should be taut!

Coming second behind team blue, team
red strain under the extra weight,

slowing to a crawl, as leader Kellie
fights exhaustion.

Number 4's not taking charge,
I suggest someone else takes charge.

KELLIE: I have a lot of moments
where I doubt myself and thought,

"Kellie, how on earth are you going
to get through this?"

(BLEEP) you two better
sort your shit out.

Come on, Sandy, we've got this.

You (BLEEP) haven't, 'cause it's
(BLEEP) horrendous at the moment.

I really do want to reveal
that side to me

of actually truly being confident

and I want to see how far I can push
myself to see where my limits are.

Number 4, what are you doing?
Move!

Keep going!

With their one tyre advantage, team
yellow, minus their leader Lisa,

overtakes team red
led by number 4 Kellie.

They sacrificed a team member
to a tyre.

You could do the same.

Move!

Stop (BLEEP) thinking about it.

KELLIE: I'm not a pushover,
I'm a very strong person.

If you don't want to be here,
(BLEEP) off!

I definitely don't back down easy...

Come on, red team.

..and I do stand up
for what I believe in.

Argh! Argh!

Everybody lean into it!
Everybody lean into it!

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

In a brutal test of endurance...

Do not (BLEEP) die on me.

Argh!

..team red are in last place...

Move. Move!

..as their wearied leader,
number 4 Kellie,

is forced to consider her position.

Move!

Stop (BLEEP) thinking about it.

KELLIE: I am extremely competitive.

But if I'm a weak link
and I know that I'm a weak link

then I will push my pride aside.

Hurry up number 4.

Number 4, do you (BLEEP)
want to be here?

Do you want to be here!

Yes, sir.

Well get that done then!

Don't want to be here -
stop wasting my time!

Number 4, what are you doing?

I'm going to go.

Go then. Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Right, get over there.

Right, get rid of one of
those tyres. Move!

Sacrificing herself
for the good of the team,

number 4 Kellie voluntarily withdraws
from the course.

Number 4, good effort.

I think putting myself under these
stressful situations,

I'm going to believe in myself more

and I will start knocking
on all of these doors

that I didn't really think
were possible for me.

Let's go.

With 1km to go, team red
make up for lost ground,

as number 2, tradie Luke,
takes control.

LUKE: Downhill - use it
to our advantage.

I like to believe that
I'm a good leader.

Keep going guys, come on.

I think it was just born into me
to be competitive

and losing's just not on the agenda.

Dig deep!

Drawing on their last reserves, team
red push ahead of team yellow...

Don't let them (BLEEP) catch you,
you've worked too hard!

Pull it like you're pulling a
(BLEEP) lover off you're missus!

Pull it! Pull it!

Argh!

..carrying less weight,
team red overtake team blue...

Come on!
Alright, we've got this.

..stealing the lead
with just 200m to go.

C'mon, c'mon, keep going!

Run!

Run!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Run!

Digging deep, team red urge
themselves on to the finish line.

Stop there! Drop the equipment off.

Tyre on. Get your chain
in your tyre.

ISABELLA: You got this Bass!

Use your gym!

Nearing the finish, team yellow
have overtaken team blue...

Right to the end.
C'mon, beast mode.

Let's go!

..and cross the line in second place.

(STRAINS)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

BECK: That's it, go!

Driving towards the end, and with the
weight of three prized tyres...

Stack them up next to yellow!

Leader Beck's team blue
finish in last place.

Team leader dead, team leader dead.

Two people left behind enemy
lines along with equipment.

Well done blue team.

Well done.

Worked as a team, but you did have
a body to drag with you.

This is not a (BLEEP) game as
you've been told a hundred times,

this now ramps up harder, higher,
faster, more equipment.

Simple as that.

If you don't like it, (BLEEP) off.

Go home.

We've got here,
guess what we've got to do?

Get the (BLEEP) out of here.

Let's go, move!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Get out of the waggons, let's go!

You have two minutes to disappear,

otherwise, I will get you on
the parade square, move!

After a long and punishing day
for the recruits

and desperately needing rest...

Fill your water bottles up, guys.

(BLEEP)

..number 1 Bassim
has made a rookie error.

Oh, no.

I left my water bottle... Oh, no,
I left it in the car.

(BLEEP)

What?

Oh, my water... Oh, my god,
it's in the 4WD.

Oh, my god. Shit.

I knew I was missing something.

I've let all of you down.

On the course, a slip up by one
can lead to punishment for all.

(HEAVY SIGH) Oh, my god,
that was careless.

Don't think like that, mate,
it will be us that gets it,

so you'll be right.

As duty recruit, it's up to number 3
Sandy to deliver the bad news.

I know you don't wanna go out there,

but I reckon we're better off
telling them

that his water bottle's in there,
than have them find it.

I'll do it now.

It might not be good, but I think it
would be better if we told them

rather than...

Yeah.

Staff!

What?

Number 1 has left his water bottle
in the car.

'Cause he's a (BLEEP).

Chin up, something's coming.

For me or for all of us.

I don't think it'll be for you.

How'd you go?

He called you a (BLEEP).

I am.

He'll get it.

What I'm most fearful is failing.

(BLEEP)

We're not robots, we're always going
to fail, we are imperfectly perfect.

Oh, my god.

I can't believe it.

But if I do fail,

then I want to make sure that
I can learn from those mistakes.

(HEAVY SIGH)

I'm just hungry, I don't want to
wait any longer.

Sit down, eat your dinner, get warm.

Different thoughts might come up.

Reckon Bass is gonna be dumped?

Mate, it's just the constant thing
going on.

Like, it's just the small (BLEEP)
ups and forgetting shit, and...

That's it.

Like, in the end it's just
gonna keep costing us.

Yeah.

Just think the pressure's
getting to him a bit too much.

Yeah.

We're just gonna suffer from it

and at what point do you go
enough's enough?

Or are you just gonna keep putting
yourself through more pain

than everyone else?

I've let this team down so
(BLEEP) many times unintentionally

and that's what kills me.

You guys are going to get
(BLEEP) punished.

Yeah, we will.

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

(TENSE MUSIC)

BASS: Oh, (BLEEP) guilt can just
eat you up like a mother(BLEEP).

Having misplaced his water bottle...

You just weren't focused,
you just weren't thinking.

..fuelling anxiety
of an impending beasting...

If I carry on you guys are
gonna get (BLEEP).

Yeah, we will.

Guys...

number 1 Bassim considers
withdrawing from the course

to spare the others from punishment.

Yeah, but can you imagine if we do
the punish or whatever it is,

and then someone else VW's
on account of me.

Do you get me? That's... Yeah,
I don't want to live with that.

(TENSE MUSIC)

You owe me.

In a show of mercy, DS Foxy
gives Bassim a second chance.

That's good news.

It's all good.

It's alright mate,
it's alright.

Big day mate.

I promise I won't let you down.

Oh, mate, pleasure to be
alongside you.

Don't stress, man,
all good.

I'm glad you're still here.

(SOFT MUSIC)

How are you holding up Beck,
are you all good?

Yeah. Yeah, it's just all
accumulating now isn't it?

Yeah, it's a lot of seriously
hectic scenarios.

Yeah.

Still a bit disappointed in
not making the ladder,

but what do you do?

(MUSIC BUILDS)

Ollie, do the honours.

Number 4...

The DS meet to debrief
and discuss the recruits' progress.

Good day, the tyre pull.

Mm-hm.

You know, their first main
physical task, really.

Yeah, blue team, they got off to
a (BLEEP) flying start.

They were hoofing it.

Nine was probably the weakest member
of the team physically.

And then the ladder tube extraction.

Number 9. Oh, pathetic.

(YELLS)

She started floundering

and then eventually, you know,
they pulled her into the boat

coughing and spluttering.

Disappointing though, really.

Her physical attributes
are non-existent

and I'm surprised she's here.

Let's get her in.
Yeah.

Number 9!

BECK: Coming.

Failing the ladder extraction task

and chosen as one of
the weakest recruits,

the DS call number 9 Beck
in for questioning.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Number nine.

Somewhat of a (BLEEP)
shocking start,

wouldn't you say?

Yes, staff.

It wasn't (BLEEP) shocking,
it was shit.

Yes, staff.

What happened?

When I got in the water I just kept
swimming and my arms got tired

and took on water and I panicked.

Always panicked in your life?

No.

So where's it come from?

Um...

Sorry, I just need to breathe.

Calm down.

Um...

Right listen, listen.
Right now listen.

Listen. Calm yourself down.

This is a (BLEEP)
safe place for you,

we just want to know about you.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Calm yourself down.

Tell us about yourself.

I grew up on a farm,
so that was pretty tough and...

You grew up on a farm?

Yeah.

So you know what (BLEEP)
hard work's about.

I do.

You know what early mornings
are about.

Yep.

And I didn't go to primary school,
so that was a bit different.

You didn't go to primary school?

No. I skipped all of primary school.

How come?

Because we were on the farm.

Parents didn't send either of
the three kids.

Oh, really?
Yeah.

So all of you missed primary school?

Yeah.

Grade 6 was my first year
when I was 10.

Wow.
Yeah.

Talk to me about your experience.

I was bullied from the start.

I was always far behind.

It was really challenging.

Learning how to do all
the basic stuff

when everyone else was so far ahead.

(BLEEP) hell.

Sounds a bit like this course.

(LAUGHS) A little bit.

Is that why you're (BLEEP)
having flashbacks?

I don't think so.

I feel like I've dealt with all
the trauma in my life pretty well.

Right, so when did you start
coming into your own?

So I finished school,
did outdoor education,

and then transitioned to youth work.

You must have done well at school,
then, to transition to...

I passed, I was pretty proud
of that.

Yeah.

Where's this lack of self-belief
come from?

(DARK MUSIC)

I don't think it's a lack
of self-belief,

I think I deliberately put myself
in really challenging situations

because I know I can grow from them.

And so, I'm way out of my depth,
but there's a process in that.

There is a process in that, but...
T here is, it's really important.

..this isn't (BLEEP) society,
this isn't Civvy Street,

this is special forces training
that we're putting you through.

Yes, staff.

We expect a hell of a lot from you

and that's why we push you every
single day, every single minute,

every single hour to see if you
can stay on that learning curve.

And at the moment,
you're (BLEEP) off of it.

Because you're far behind, you've
only got one way to go now, OK?

And you're used to going there,

so (BLEEP) get up there
and (BLEEP) get the job done.

Do you understand me?
Yes, staff.

Because anymore failures,
you're gone.

Simple as that.

Get it (BLEEP) done.

Yes, staff.
Guard!

(DOOR OPENS)

Stand up.

It's like (BLEEP)...

Emotional wreck.

It was like her (BLEEP)
close family member had died.

Do you know what it is?

She's had to (BLEEP) fight through
hardship all her life,

and then she's got a point
to prove obviously

and she's not getting there and
she's reverting back to her days.

School days.

Yeah, where she was bottom of
the pile where she was bullied.

Go!

Get in there!

A physical and psychological
thrashing...

Cold water shock steals the air
from your lungs.

Move!

..that wreaks havoc
on some of the recruits.

If you can't continue,
give me your number.

Number three! Junior recruit.

Let's go!

On a bitterly cold night,

the exhausted recruits receive
an unexpected detail from the DS.

At 2300... you be on parade square.

Understood?
Yes, staff.

(DOOR SLAMS)

At 11 o'clock we gotta be on
the parade square in our wet gear.

24 hours a day you will be
on edge...

..living in the uncomfortable.

It's realising that this isn't
going to let up.

When you think the job is done -
boom, we hit you with a beasting.

(TENSE MUSIC SWELLS)

Looks like we're gonna ramp it up,
let's (BLEEP) show 'em

we can all do this.

(BLEEP) I'm going to vomit.

Stop moving.

You are going to be in a whole world
of pain this evening.

(DRAMATIC STING)

You need to flip that pain
between body to mind.

(BLEEP) work at 110%, nothing less,

otherwise, we will stay out here
all night.

When I say go you will disappear
around the parade square

to the two DS stood next to
the skips, is that understood?

ALL: Yes, staff.

Is that understood?
Yes, staff.

Start getting you (BLEEP)
Let's go! Move! Move! Let's go!

First five to the DS.
First five.

In a brutal exercise
of cold-water conditioning,

the recruits will submerge their
bodies in a freezing ice bath.

Go! Right, get in there.

Let's get in there!

Plunging into bone-chilling water,

they must summon all their strength
to withstand the agonising pain.

Right, listen in.

(BLEEP) cold water shock
is a massive killer

and the only way around it is to
(BLEEP) condition yourself to it.

T he ice bath
is a psychological test.

We condition our bodies
to the extreme cold.

Keep your (BLEEP) shoulders down.

Keep your shoulders down.

Down further.

So it doesn't become a distraction.

If you haven't conditioned yourself
to it, you will go down.

If you don't want to be here, get
out, give us your (BLEEP) numbers.

Right, when I say go,
I want you to run to the DS

inside the parade square.

Stand by. Go!

Move!

Let's go, let's switch to
bodies now. Let's go!

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

Let's go.
Move!

Around the parade, let's go!

Number six - pick up number two
on your shoulders,

around you go.

Five, pick up number nine on
your shoulders, around you go.

Number seven, pick up number 8.

Let's go!

All the way round, let's move.

Let's go. That's it, swap there. Go.

20 press ups then I want
20 squat thrusts.

Let's go!

As the other recruits finish the lap
and start press ups...

Move.
Come on, number 9.

Number 9 Beck struggles,
well behind the pack.

BECK: I've run a marathon in
the Antarctic in minus 25 degrees,

gale force winds.

I feel like I have really good
mental resolve,

but the physical side of this course
will be really challenging.

All the way up,
all the way down.

This is absolutely going to
push me beyond anything

I've ever been pushed before.

The others are waiting for you.
Move!

Last again, Beck's weakening body
buckles under the strain.

Keep moving, number 9, let's go!

Hurry up, number 9!

Hurry up or give me your number!

Let's go!
Hurry up!

Give me your number!

What do you want to do?

Give me your number now!

Move! Get these moving.

Right, the rest of you,
get on his back.

Baby carry around the parade square.

Move! Go!

My body can achieve a lot,

but for me today was just not
my mental toughness day.

This is one of the hardest things
that I've ever done in my life.

As Beck withdraws from the course...
Get in.

..the remaining recruits must endure
a second excruciating ice bath.

OLLIE: When you are plunged into
those sub-zero temperatures...

Go!

Submerge!

..everything is going to support
your vital organs in that moment.

Suck it up, suck it up.
Pathetic.

Do it properly,
or we'll keep on doing it.

Go!

Your body starts closing down,
your hands don't work,

your feet start to become so cold
they're painful.

Basically then the mind starts
to go into absolute shock

because it's convinced
you're going to die.

Right everyone out, go!

BILLY: People fall apart

because they've never been to
this level before.

You know the drill!

They've never been this
uncomfortable.

Keep (BLEEP) knees moving.
Knees moving!

I've worked in minus 40 degrees,
which is ridiculous.

You know, I'm thinking I'm here
to fight a war

I can just about (BLEEP).

If you have a piss you have to
snap it off, it's that cold.

GO!
Move!

Let's go, come on!

After almost an hour
of ferocious beasting...

Faster!

Argh!

Get past her! Move!

Argh!
Move!

(BLEEP)

number 3 Sandy's body
breaks down.

Move or give me your number.

Move, or give me your
(BLEEP) number.

Move!
Argh!

Move!
Argh!

SANDY: I don't think I've ever hit
my breakpoint.

I don't think I've ever found
my break point.

Argh!

Oi, oi, stop making
this stupid noise. What's happened?

Argh (BLEEP).

I've pulled something
in my calf, Staff.

You what?
Something's gone in my calf.

What's gone?
I don't know, I'm not a medic.

(BLEEP)

Don't answer me back,
you (BLEEP) stupid little shit.

Sometime you're going to pick up
injuries on the battlefield

and you can't just walk off
and say I'm done.

Keep moving, number three.

You have to see if you're capable
of pushing beyond the injury itself

and how it's affecting your head.

If you can't continue, give me your
number, it's as simple as that.

I've never really failed
at anything -

and so when you spend your whole
life believing you're resilient,

And then if I don't make it,
or I get asked to leave,

that would cast a shadow
on the person I think I am.

Keep going. Keep going.

Walk it off.

(GRUNTS)

Despite her injury,
number 3 re-joins the beasting.

Keep going.

Quitting's not an option for me.

I would prefer to give everything
I've got and be asked to leave

because I just can't keep up anymore
then pull myself off the course.

Let's go.

Pushing them even further,

the recruits are forced into
the extreme cold for a third,

agonising time.

This is where the (BLEEP) counts.

Open your eyes.

We condition our bodies,
we condition our minds.

The fight doesn't stop.

The war doesn't pause.

Submerge!

But you condition yourself to
those conditions that you think,

"Right, I'm good to go.
I've been there before."

Everyone out and straight back round
into the parade square.

Let's move!

VOICEOVER: Every time you
repeat that process

your body gets used to it
more and more and more.

Then all of a sudden you start being
comfortable being uncomfortable.

BILLY: Flick your legs, flick,
flick, flick...

Keep your legs moving!

(BLEEP)

Oi! Flick!

All of you stand still.

Stand still.

After more than an hour
of physical and mental suffering,

the exercise is finally over

as a beaten number 9
Beck heads home.

BECK: I've learned that I can just
do so much more,

We can all do so much more
than what we think.

Whatever you think your limit is,
there's way more beyond that.

I am disappointed that
I didn't make it to the end,

I did think I had what it took
to get there.

But I am still really proud
of what I've achieved

and I'm holding my head high
on the way out.

When I say go, you will
disappear off of my parade square

go back to the accommodation,
(BLEEP) sort your shit out.

Look after each other,
get that fire going.

Go! Move!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)

Desperately needing
the warmth of the fire...

..number 13, dancer James helps an
injured Sandy back to the dorm.

Hurry up!

(SANDY GROANS)

That was brutal.

My (BLEEP) hands.

We're here to give them a real taste
of our world.

A foul taste, a disgusting taste.

Suffering, hardship, pain
should be the norm.

Three, two, one.

It's going to be relentless,
it's going to get harder,

and if you accept this
as the new norm,

you might make it through to
the next stage.

But if you don't,
it's going to simply break you.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
