(ALL EXCLAIM)

ANT: Down! Down!
Get your heads down!

NARRATOR: 14 Aussie civilians...

Welcome to hell.

STAFF: Go!

..have pushed themselves beyond
their physical and mental limits.

Down, down!
Sorry, sorry, sorry!

I can't breathe!

MAN: Don't panic! Hey!

Look at me. Look at me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

There's been extraordinary
triumphs...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)
ANT: Well done!

..and devastating heartbreak.

I lost my son ten days ago.

I've gotta shake your hand
for being here.

I guess I just see myself
being like my dad.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

One by one...

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

I can't do this. Sorry.

..recruits surrendered.

Thanks, staff.

Arggh!

It's your time.

Leave this course
with your head held high.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It's nothing personal, but Baz.

We don't want to have to
have the liability.

It's all good.

This is the most
life-changing experience.

(STIRRING MUSIC SWELLS)

Now only six remain...

How badly do you want it?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..as they dig deep to see
if they have what it takes.

MAN: I want to prove I am
spiritually tougher than I think.

(GRUNTS)

When I'm mentally, physically done,

I have tapped into something
entirely different within me.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

MAN: Even though you are smaller
than everyone else,

you can achieve anything.

(GRUNTS)

I think dancers are underestimated.

Resilience is something
I hold close to my heart.

Come on! Keep going.

It was just born into me
to be competitive.

Losing's just not on the agenda.

WOMAN: I can't imagine quitting.

Think about what you're doing!

Only the elite of the elite
pass the course.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

This concludes
the selection process.

That doesn't mean you've all passed.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Who will pass...
Arggh!

..final selection?

Can't hold on! Arggh!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(BIRDSONG)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

WOMAN: What's up, my G?

(SIGHS) I'm just...

..just wanna (BLEEP) get it done,
you know what I mean?

One step at a time.
No, I'm with you.

Yeah.

It's day six of Hell Week,

an intensive version
of the brutal SAS training course,

and only six civilian recruits remain

in the final stage to pass selection.

I got two cigars.

I wanna have one at the end
of the course with you.

OK.
(LAUGHS)

I'm here 'cause I wanna
be able to push myself.

I want to be part
of the SAS,

and I want to prove
that I'm good enough.

After I did fail with football,

I want to show that I can do it,
mentally and physically.

That failing mentality

is just something that
I don't want to feel anymore.

That's it, mate.

If you envision yourself
doing something,

you know what I mean?

It's just inevitable that
it will just happen, you know?

You just gotta keep working for it.

I want to show my son
that it was a challenge,

but whatever you put your mind to,
you can get over it.

Don't think about where the end it.

Just think about that next step.
Yeah.

(SIGHS)

I'm doing this course
to really test myself,

to give myself confidence,

and to prove to other people
that I can actually do this.

MAN: Good!

Well done. Well done.
There we go.

Was that a three?

I'll go the whole way.
I'll be there till the end.

There's no doubt about that.

(STIRRING INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

MAN: How's our fires looking?

Doing this course means
the absolute world to me.

I do believe I have what it takes
to pass SAS selection.

Big day!
Big day, mate.

Just gotta take it
an hour at a time.

Yep, each footstep.
That's it.

'Cause obviously every footstep
at the moment is (BLEEP) painful.

(LAUGHS) Yeah.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

My motivation is proving I'm more
than just James, the dancer.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

I know that dance and what's
involved in the SAS is worlds apart,

but dancers work their arses off.

They're some of the most hardworking
people I've ever met.

You know, you've gotta have drive,
you've gotta have discipline.

Dancers are underestimated,

and I'm hoping that
I can use those things

that I've learnt from my career
and make it to the end.

ANT: Five minutes, I want everybody
on this parade square!

Let's move! Let's go!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Move!

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Right, this is where
we really step up now,

physically, psychologically,
and emotionally.

We're getting
more brutal and brutal.

Bang, bang, bang.
Number will be gone.

Do not let that be you.

We need you to go beyond
your limitations.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Is that understood?
ALL: Yes, staff.

Good.

The final phase - this is it.
It's do or die.

Go! Move, move! Let's go.

Let's go!

This is where
we put the final pressure on

to find that special,
or special individuals.

In front. Look!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

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

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

MAN: Anyone a bit nervous?
Yeah, def.

Always get a bit nervous
before all of them, eh?

Before I see them, yeah.

Like, what are the limits
I'm pushing myself to today?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

How you feeling? Better?

I'm good, mate, yeah.
Yeah? Feeling good?

As a holistic health coach,
I work in personal development,

spiritual evolution, healing,

but when I was younger,

I was someone who didn't make
great choices.

We're up pretty high.

Are we?
Mmm.

So, my reason for doing this
is to grow and to learn -

to leave it all on the line.

MAN: One behind the other.

I'm all in, 100%.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

ANT: They're starting to realise
what they're capable of.

They're starting
to realise their potential...

..and they will become a better
version of who they are.

They will beyond any limitations
that they've been before.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Shoulder to shoulder.
Nice and tight.

Alright, listen in.

Guess what we've come to -
a cliff edge.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Your job is to (BLEEP) get across it
as quick as possible,

because if you don't,

what are you if you're sitting
on that (BLEEP) rope?

JAMES: Sitting target.

A sitting target.

A danger to yourself,
a danger to others.

Turn around. Watching the demo.

Today's first task
is known as the cat crawl,

a gruelling examination
of the recruits' focus, will,

and ability to control their fear.

He is pulling with his arms
and pushing with his back leg.

Pull and push motion.

Pull from the front,
push from the back.

To pass the task,

the recruits will need to use
a specific technique

to complete the 30-metre crossing,

suspended a perilous
50 metres above the ground.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Turn around.

Get your (BLEEP) headspace
where it needs to be right now,

which is surviving
for a place on this course.

It's over to you now.

How badly do you want it?

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I'm gonna put you in pairs.

You're gonna be racing.

Number eight and number 11,
you will be first.

You two, harness up.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I can be a very competitive person.

Whether it's noughts and crosses

or it's, like, a random foot race
on the beach.

The DS will assess the recruits
on their speed and agility

to maintain their control and nerve
through the task.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

The cat crawl
is a test of discipline.

Number 11, you're on this line.
Yes, staff.

In Afghanistan,
the mountains are vast.

It's a scary place to be,

and if you don't control
that fear...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

..if you're not disciplined enough
to have confidence in yourself...

..it's a very long fall.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Go! Let's move! Fast as you can!

Everything!

Oh, (BLEEP)!

Get back on the top of the rope,
then. Do what you can!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

In his haste to beat number 11,
rapper Isabella...

..number eight James's lack of focus
sees him lose control.

(BLEEP) gone tits up now, hasn't it?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Let's go, number 11!

We leave everything on this rope!

Stay where you are!
Stay in that zone!

Good!

ISABELLA: 100% scared
of the heights.

But even the things that scare
the shit out of me,

I'm gonna get
the job done,

because that's what
I'm here to do.

Sort yourself out. Good!

Good effort, number 11!
(PUFFS)

(BLEEP) strong! Well done!
Look at me.

(BLEEP) strong effort.
Thank you!

Good, good, good. Stay there.
(PUFFS)

Having maintained
her composure and technique,

number 11, Isabella,
has successfully passed the task.

(PUFFS)

Good job, mate.
Thanks, mate.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Number eight!
Yes, staff?

(BLEEP) that up royally, didn't you?

Yes, staff. (GRUNTS)

Try and get back up
from that position.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(STRAINS)

(GROANS)

Just can't hold on!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

(BLEEP)!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

It can be very hard,
getting knocked down,

but then you gotta sort of put
your boots on and march forward.

It was that mad rush
at the beginning, wasn't it?

Yes, staff.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Next to tackle the cat crawl is
a determined number two, tradie Luke,

and number five, dating coach, Sarah,
who is keen to show her grit.

SARAH: I'm doing this for myself.

I have doubts.

Like, I need to see somebody else
do it first.

Right, mount the ropes.

So, I second-guess myself sometimes,

and I don't want
to feel like that anymore.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Everything!

Number five, catch him!

Pull and push!

There is this mongrel within me

that I honestly feel will be
what gets me through to the end.

Number five,
two arms are better than one!

Up and pull!

Trust me,
you will blow out like that!

That's it!

Let's go, number two!

LUKE: Determination
is everything to me.

When I have a goal,
I want to be able to get it done.

I give everything.

Let's go - all the way in!

Good effort, number two. Let's go!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

All the way in. We don't stop.

Get yourself up! Stand up!

That's it. On and off!

Good effort!
Well done, number two. Strong!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Come here, number five.

Pull.
You're doing one arm at a time.

No wonder he (BLEEP) beat you.

Yes, staff.

I'm very hard on myself.

There's always that little voice
that's, like,

"This is good, Sarah, but if you can
do this, you could be better."

(BLEEP)!

You did good, mate. You did good.
(SIGHS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

The final pair to attempt
the daunting crawl

are number 13, dancer James,

and number six,
youngest recruit, Mitch,

who is eager to make an impression.

Who do you guys reckon?

Maybe Mitch.

Keep the (BLEEP) noise down.
You got a (BLEEP) loud mouth on you.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Stay on top of that (BLEEP) rope,
number six.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Get back on there.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

ANT: Get on top of it, number six!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

MITCH: I've been labelled
as a pretty boy.

So, I think a lot of people
would look at me

and think I would not be able
to pass this course.

Use that leg to pendulum...
that's it!

Look up the rope when you do it.

I wanna prove to those people
that I'm more than that.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

If you had a Bergen on,

you would have been off that rope
a long time ago!

You either get on top of the rope
or you let go of the rope.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

(ISABELLA EXCLAIMS)

Keep the noise down, number 11!

(BLEEP)!

(LAUGHS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Do you think it's funny, number 11?

No, staff. Sorry, staff. Sorry.

Do you know what,
you're all gonna (BLEEP) pay later

if you think it's (BLEEP) funny.

Sorry.

You should be sorry to the others,

because they're gonna pay
because of you, number 11!

Stand by for when we get back now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

I love to have a joke,
and I love to lighten any situation.

Sorry.

When I talked to my friends
about doing this course,

all of them said, "How would you
take being yelled at?"

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yeah, that would get under my skin.

Over to me.

Good effort.

Having maintained focus and pulled
off the cat crawl correctly,

number 13, James,
has passed the task.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

How does it feel, dangling there
like a spare prick?

Not good, staff.

No, it's no (BLEEP) good, is it?
No, staff.

(BLEEP) went wrong there, then?

I just lost my balance off the kick.

Distractions.
Yes, staff.

Distracted with the race.
Yep.

Rather than the technique.

At this stage of the course,
that's unacceptable, number six.

You need to be 100% on your game

and focus on the task at hand.

You really needed that,
and you (BLEEP) that up.

If you don't,
at this point of the course...

..it's mission failure for you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Distractions.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

It wasn't about the (BLEEP) race.

You think we (BLEEP) race
each other?

No - to see how you dealt
with distractions,

rather than staying focused
on the task, on the job.

What do you think happens

when (BLEEP) bullets and bombs
go over our heads?

That's why it's so important
to ignore the distractions,

to ignore the noise, especially
at this stage of the course.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

What's so funny, number 11?
What do you want to share with me?

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Go on.

Well... (COUGHS)

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

..I laughed, and it was too loud.

It wasn't funny, it was... mmm.

Respect is crucial,

not only on this course,
but in life itself.

I told you to keep your noise down
and you (BLEEP) laughed in my face.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You arrogant prick!

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(BLEEP) stand by for that,
all of you.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

When people come into our world,

when we're trying to give them
our time and our knowledge,

and they throw it back
in our face...

Get your Bergens on.

..that's the biggest sign
of disrespect...

..and I will (BLEEP) not have it
on my course.

Follow on.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Go!

Coming up...

Everybody say,
"Thank you, number 11!"

RECRUITS: Thank you, number 11.

..a brutal beasting...
(GROANS)

He won't stop until
they throw in their number.

..ends in a shocking VW.

(CRIES) Ow! Stop!

And later...

Obviously I had my differences
with my ex,

and when you miss out

on just getting to put your kid
to bed every night...

..darkest secrets and shames
are confessed.

(CRIES) And I just kept lying.

So, that's something that
I carry with me every day.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: There's less than 24 hours
left on the final stage

of the SAS selection course.

Hurry up! Get your Bergens out!

Put them against the wall!
Get on the square! Move!

During the last task,

number 11, Isabella,
showed disrespect

by inappropriately laughing,

raising the ire of the DS.

Onto the square! Sprint! Hurry up!

Now the recruits will be punished
as a group for her insolence.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Right, we're tired
of the (BLEEP) lack of effort

from this course -

and then today you, number 11,

thinking it's a (BLEEP) joke!

So, I tell you now, at least
one of you is going after this.

At least one!

Press-up position, please!

Punishment will not come in the form
of a standard beasting.

Go!

They will endure a sickener.

(BLEEP) go! (BLEEP)!

(BLEEP) slow! Too slow! Move!
Go!

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

A sickener is the worst type
of beasting there is.

Keep moving!
Go!

Keep moving!

We keep on going
until we start to lose people.

RECRUITS: Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!

And we don't stop
until that happens.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Stretch.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Straighten your back, number five!

It's designed to eliminate the weak.

Squat and hold!

Arms straight, number six!
Stop (BLEEP) whinging!

Arms, number six!
Arggh!

Looking at those that are faltering,
those at the back of the pack.

Stand up!

And we won't stop
until they throw in their number.

Go!
Out the other end!

Let's go!
In you go!

Catch him up! Get in there!

Go!

All the way around the parade square
and back!

All the way around
the parade square!

Away you go.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

When you get thrashed,
your body is absolutely spent.

You (BLEEP) twat! Get here!
Go!

Hurry up!

Your mind is telling you to give in.

We're looking for people
that can push beyond that.

You have to go
until you physically drop.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Look at you (BLEEP) dawdling round!

Drop, back, sprint! Into the water!
Back into the square!

The brutality of the sickener
will push the recruits

both physically and mentally.

You are (BLEEP) pathetic!

Absolutely (BLEEP) weak!

Get going!

Arggh!

Next one on!
No use to anyone!

SARAH: This is one of
the most brutal physical tests

that I've done,

and when I'm mentally,
physically done,

that's when I tap into something
entirely different within me.

Arggh!

Keep going!

Move!
Get in there!

(BLEEP) move yourself!

MITCH: Your body's aching.
Everything's hurting.

You've really gotta, like,
be determined

to push through all that pain
to get through it.

Come on, six!

(BLEEP) pathetic!

When you hit breaking point,
your body can't really keep up,

but I just don't want
to let anyone down.

Back into the square!
Into the (BLEEP) square now!

Drop your legs down like a seal!
Get off your knees and crawl!

The idea is to push them to a place
they've never been before.

They give us absolutely everything.
It's brutal (BLEEP).

Get off your knees, number 11,
or give me your number now!

Get off your knees!

It's because of you
we're (BLEEP) doing this!

ISABELLA: I will never quit.

To ever give up is... is...

..I can't imagine doing it.

Tuck jumps! Away you go!

Let's go!
Go!

Let's go! I didn't say stop!

We're not even close yet!

This is gonna be
a (BLEEP) long night!

Jump!

To be in a physical and mental state
where I would do that,

that would be next level.

Everybody say,
"Thank you, number 11!"

RECRUITS: Thank you, number 11!

We are gonna keep on going

until one of you has got the (BLEEP)
balls to hand in their number!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You can see those that are weak.

You can assume who's gonna give in.

Nine!
Come on, away you go.

Sorry.

Don't be sorry!
Get on your (BLEEP) feet!

But you just have no idea where
that number is gonna come from.

(GROANS)

I'd like to say
we haven't got all night,

but we actually (BLEEP) have!

(GROANS)

Keep going! Get on his shoulder,
you (BLEEP) big lump!

But that's the beauty of a sickener.

There's always that wildcard,

there's always
that element of surprise.

Down and up.
(GROANS)

Who's gonna throw in the towel?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

After a crippling two hours...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Get (BLEEP) moving!
(WHIMPERS)

..each recruit
is on the brink of collapse...

Get up! Shut up!

You don't even look like
you're making a (BLEEP) effort!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Get him up and drag him, number two!

..but their suffering will continue

until one of them
voluntarily withdraws.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

MITCH: Staff, I VW.

You VW?
Yeah.

Why you VW?

'Cause everyone's going through
the pain and suffering.

You mean you can't (BLEEP) handle
it, is that what you're saying?

Yes, staff.
OK.

Go back to your accommodation,
sort out your kit.

Keep going!

Get in, number 11!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Despite number 11 Isabella's actions
causing the sickener,

it's number six, Mitch, who
sacrifices himself for the group.

I'm all about character, like,
what type of person you are.

I think I'm always willing to put,
you know,

other interests before mine.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(CRIES)

(CRIES)

Quitting is not really in me,

but I don't like seeing people
go through pain.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Another one bites the dust.

Not particularly my choice.

If it was up to me,
(BLEEP) you all off,

'cause you're pathetic...

..but it's all we've got.

Do you all want to be here?
RECRUITS: Yes, staff!

Well, start (BLEEP) showing us.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(CRIES)

Emotionally distraught
by his sudden exit from the course,

number six, Mitch, calls home

to break the news
to his mother and brother.

Hello?

Hey... (INAUDIBLE) ..OK?

Yeah. So hard.

(MITCH EXHALES)

Ohh!

(SOBS)

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Oh, I'm so proud of you.
You've done well, mate.

(SOBS)

(GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Harder than you thought?

(MITCH SOBS)

So much harder.

(GENTLE MUSIC CONTINUES)

But... I nearly got there.

That's all that matters.

I missed mum a lot.

My mum's my best friend,

and someone that I could
tell anything to.

We're so proud of you, bub.
So proud of you.

Being away from her,

you realise how much you're grateful
for what my mum has done for me.

There was people suffering, and...

..I knew I had more in me,

but I just couldn't let them
suffer anymore.

I just feel so let down!

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You haven't let anyone down.

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You did the right thing.
You're an honourable young man.

It's honestly been the best...

..most whack thing
I've ever done in my life.

I get a warm shower, though.

Yeah. (LAUGHS)

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

But I've learnt a lot.

We love you.
Love you. Love you, bro.

See you, guys.
You've done so well.

We're proud. See you, bub. Bye.
Bye.

I've learnt, by pushing yourself
through limits...

..you're a lot stronger
than what you think you are.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Next...

LUKE: This far into it,
we should know better!

..tension amongst the recruits...

How do you feel about Mitch?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

..threatens to boil over.

It's unfair for someone to go
that shouldn't be going.

It shouldn't have been him.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(BLEEP), I'm so (BLEEP) sick
of this.

NARRATOR: It's the end of day six
of the SAS selection course,

and the recruits
have returned to the dorm

after a brutal two-hour sickener

caused by number 11 Isabella's
disrespect.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

If anyone puts us back through
that shit, put your hand up!

(BLEEP) bullshit!

JAMES: Mitch shouldn't have gone.

ISABELLA: No.

This far into it,
we should (BLEEP) know better!

That's right.

I've learnt my lesson.
I won't do it again.

SARAH: I feel so bad.
(BLEEP)!

There's always times when,
like, you know,

if teamwork
isn't working out,

is if you've got too many
individuals,

but I'm more of a team player.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I definitely would have been the one
to hand my number in

if was the one responsible.

I feel sorry that
it had to be someone,

but it should have been number 11.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

With the recruits still furious

at number 11 Isabella's
refusal to VW...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..chief instructor Ant checks
on an emotional number six, Mitch.

Listen, for a young man,

you should hold your head
extremely high,

because you've done extremely well.

(CRIES) I just hated
seeing everyone suffer.

Listen, that's what we do -
we sacrifice ourselves.

What do you think we do
when we go to war?

(EXHALES)

We're willing to give the ultimate
sacrifice for each other.

That's ultimately what you've done,
so there's no shame in it.

It's (BLEEP) the right thing to do.

(EXHALES)

And you should be
extremely proud of yourself,

do you understand me, number six?

Yes, staff. (SNIFFS)

Well done.

Come here. Stand up.

Honestly, (BLEEP) good effort.
Well done.

The beastings
are character building.

You learn from them,
you grow from them,

and you move forward as a team.

You're willing to give the ultimate
sacrifice for each other.

(CRIES) They were suffering.

Done the right thing.
(CRIES)

It takes courage...

Absolutely brilliant, and I mean
that from the bottom of my heart.

Yeah.
Proud to have you on the course.

You're the (BLEEP) youngest one
we've probably had on the course.

And I promise you,
you will smash through life.

Mmm. (EXHALES)

Fact.
Yep.

Fact.

SAS selection
is the toughest of challenges

that you could ever think of.

I've definitely become stronger,
mentally and physically.

(STIRRING PIANO MUSIC)

Being out here really pushes you
beyond limits that you don't know,

and I know that, like, tomorrow,

I'll be a way stronger person
mentally,

and I can't wait to use that
in my future life.

(EXHALES)

(STIRRING MUSIC CONTINUES)

Alright.

Today extracts a heavy toll.

So, this afternoon,
the task was the cat crawl in pairs.

Number five started off arm over
arm, rather than using both.

She blew out pretty quick,
and then she started pulling.

So, got across the rope
and got the job done.

Number eight - really disappointing.

The moment he looked over,
he fell off the rope.

(BLEEP)!

He absolutely flapped.

He was all over the place,
and number 11 -

you know, she got across,
done exactly what we asked of her,

and she got the job done.

So, fair play to number 11...

..but then heard number 11 laugh,

and as I said,
"Keep the noise down,"

she just laughed in my face.

(BLEEP)

Cocky.
Yeah, just cockiness.

The fact that
she's at this stage now,

she's sort of, like, maybe her
true colours are shining through.

Yeah.
I don't know.

Gutted to see number six go,
to be fair, you know?

Yeah, I was and all,
and it was a good thrashing,

and all the way through, it was,

"We will keep on going
until SOMEONE,"

directing everything at number 11,

"someone gives in their number."

She just was stubborn!

BILLY: Slow slug stubborn.
Really?

Yeah. She weren't stopping.

There was no way she would
have ever pulled that off.

You could just tell
by the look on her face.

Yep.
There's no way.

She's got nowhere to hide tomorrow.
No.

Absolutely nowhere to hide.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

As the recruits get ready for bed,

tension in the dorm
is at an all-time high.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Should we do a quick debrief
and... open up the floor

to maybe break down what went wrong
today and what we can do better?

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

(EXHALES)

Are we talking about the beasting?
(LAUGHS)

Yeah, that's what went wrong today.

OK, yeah, well,
I wish it hadn't have happened...

..and I'm sorry that it did.

How do you feel about Mitch VW?

Devastated.

I don't know, I just think if I was
the cause behind that, I'd...

..I would really own up to that
and say,

"I should have VW, and I put
you guys through a lot of shit."

Mmm.

Honestly, it's just integrity.
I don't know.

LUKE: I feel sorry for Mitch,

because, like, it's obviously, like,
the DS were clearly indicating

that this was going on
because of what happened.

Mmm.

Then it's unfair for someone to go
that shouldn't be going.

JAMES: That's right, yeah.

It shouldn't have been him.
ISABELLA: Mmm.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Mitch is such a good guy,

and I just felt like he sacrificed
himself to save us all.

Yeah.

Yeah.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I think if someone keeps going
against their word

or keeps doing things that
they weren't meant to be doing,

it just becomes harder and harder

to be able to trust them
and rely on them.

We'll move on from it,

and we just know that tomorrow,
whatever we go through,

if we're struggling,
I think anyone just needs to say,

"OK, I'm putting my hand up."

Yep.
JAMES: That's right.

Is that agreed from everyone?
100%!

Yeah, yeah.

100%, guys.
That's it.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: Five civilian
recruits remain

on the final stage of Hell Week.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

ANT: Duty recruit, let's go!

It's the last night of the course,

and chief instructor Ant unexpectedly
calls the recruits to the mess hall.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Going into the final stage
of this course...

..you're gonna need each other.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

That trust, that bond,
is what's gonna get you through.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We all have weaknesses.
We all have insecurities.

Things we regret.

But when we can expose
our vulnerabilities...

..it brings us closer.

The honesty test
is about baring your soul.

When you let your teammates
into your deepest, darkest secrets,

people realise
that they're not alone.

So, when I leave,

you will tell each other the thing
that you're most ashamed of.

And you need that
in the special forces,

because it's hardship and suffering,

but you have a solid fortified team
that works together

and that will get the job
done together.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um... through all my school career,

you know, I put all my eggs
in one basket.

It's all based around footy.

I was rookie drafted in 2009
to the Carlton Football Club.

It was huge - a dream come true -
but I never did get to play a game.

I started going out on the piss
and everything,

and then from there it was just,
for the last 13 years, just been...

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..just lost.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Just no real direction, I guess.
It's been hard.

Just that shame of, you know,

I pissed that (BLEEP) career
up the wall,

and I've gotta live with that now
for the rest of my life.

Something I definitely regret -

I failed, and I don't want
to have that feeling again.

I guess another thing's probably...

..obviously I had my differences
with my ex, and it is what it is...

..but when you miss out

on just getting to put your kid
to bed every night...

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..it's just not been...
yeah, it's really (BLEEP).

(CRIES)

Love being a dad - it's awesome,
but everything happens for a reason.

(SNIFFS) Thanks.

I want to do a lot for him,

and I really want to show him
that I can be something

and I did do something with my life.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um... yeah, a couple of years ago,

I took a risk with my career
and I moved to France.

I didn't get any work
for a whole year there.

My savings went out the window.

I had no friends,
I had no family there.

Basically a bum.

Like, I just was at the bottom
of life, really.

My only brother, which is my twin,
he was in a jail cell...

..and that hit me hard.

My brother was one
of the most talented guys.

He could have done anything,

and now he's the president
of a bikie club, yeah.

That can come with violence,

and I can't get that thought
out of my head.

What if something happens
and I'm not there to help?

I felt like I let my family down.

I felt selfish, like I shouldn't
follow my own dreams.

So, that's something that
I carry with me every day, yep.

Yeah.

I got depressed,

and that motivated me
to succeed through my career.

Like, I've got a responsibility
to make my family proud.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

Um, I think, for me.

I just really wanted
to follow my dreams of sport...

..and for four years of my life,
you know, all I did was train.

I'm ashamed of the fact that
I let all of my friends down,

a lot of my closest friends,

because I was so focused
on what I was trying to achieve,

which is selfish.

There's a lot of sacrifices
when you do sport at a high level.

You give up so much
along the way.

All the things that I said no to -

weddings, birthdays, even funerals.

I said no to all those things,
and I do regret that, actually.

And I didn't even achieve my goal.

So, what was the point in that?

Like... I'm pretty much nothing -

just, like, an athlete
that didn't quite make it.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Yeah.

Whenever life's been tough,
music is the one thing I had,

and hip-hop is an incredible genre,

because it's where people
share their stories.

That's why I love it.

Yeah, I guess one of the biggest
things I'm ashamed of is, um...

..I think pushing everybody away
when I was younger.

I put my parents
through a lot.

I would, you know, go to parties
and drink a lot,

and actually woke up in a hospital
bed with my mum next to me.

I don't think any parent should have
to see their daughter nearly dead,

and, uh... (CRIES)

..still carry so much guilt

for the pain that I put
the people around me through.

You can't undo the past,
and I've accepted that,

but it hurts when I think about it.

So... thanks, guys.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Um... what I'm most ashamed of was...

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

..a couple of years after school,
I was lined up to study fitness.

I wasn't going to class
or any of that sort of stuff.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

And I got really overweight,
with... partying, drinking.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(EXHALES)

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

My mum and dad live
in country western Queensland...

..and were in drought,
and... financially, really hard.

(CRIES)

And they were supporting me,
paying my rent.

Paying for my study.

(CRIES)

And I just kept lying.

I said I was going to college
when I wasn't.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I just felt, um...
really bad...

..about that, sorry.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Ever since,
I've just tried to undo it,

and just be the best son
that I can be,

to make things up to them.

(SOMBRE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Thank you.

It's my biggest regret,
but in the end, it's all learning.

I'm here because I want to grow,

and to prove something to myself,

not to anyone else.

Ow!

The change that I'm looking
to get out of it

is a better understanding
of my limits.

We're gonna have
a ripper big day tomorrow,

but it'll be a good day.

The belief I have in myself
will pull me through.

ANT: Move!
Next...

(BLEEP) taking ages in there!
Come on! (BLEEP)!

..in a gruelling test of endurance...

Get a (BLEEP) move on
or I want your armband now!

..one recruit will fall.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Out of time!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: It's the final day
of SAS selection.

Oh, (BLEEP) I'm that sore.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

6:45.

Alright, let's go. Come on!

Alright?
Yep.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

By the end of the day,

the DS will decide who, if anyone,
will pass SAS selection,

and with a punishing day of tasks
ahead,

the final recruits
will need to dig deep.

ANT: This course
isn't for the majority.

It's for a few unique, special
people that will make it to the end.

Last day, mate.
LUKE: I know.

So, hopefully,
I get through.

You will, mate.
(BLEEP).

I'll be behind to get you there too.

I'd love to see everyone (BLEEP)
at the end, eh?

Same.

I know that I've got what it takes
to make it to the end.

I'm doing this for my family.

We're two generations infantry,

and my great-grandfather was given
an Order of Knighthood

for his service in World War I,

and I'm pretty proud of it.

I want to be a soldier too,
if I've got what it takes.

So, that's a big motivation for me,
and I want to make them proud.

This morning is gonna
be (BLEEP) hard.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

It's about going
beyond the (BLEEP) limits.

Going to a place you've probably
never been before.

Stop!

This morning
you gotta go on a circuit -

a circular circuit.

What does that tell you?

There's no end to a circle,
is there?

We will (BLEEP) decide
if and when...

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

..enough is enough.

In today's task,
the recruits will make their way

through a variety
of difficult obstacles

on a course that spans
a punishing 2km loop.

If, at any time, you wish to take
the freedom bird to Bali and relax,

hand in your (BLEEP) armband.

If, at any time, we think
you are not pulling your weight,

you are not giving what we want,

we will (BLEEP) take
that armband from you.

Does everybody understand that?
RECRUITS: Yes, staff.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

There is where they leave everything
they have got on that course.

They give us absolutely everything,

and we will run them
until we get there.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

I want to know, when you're in
the (BLEEP) trenches

and head shots are coming at you,
you're pinned down,

can you still get back up
and carry on?

Go.

Let's go!

Catch the person in front of you,
number 13!

And if you don't like it
and it's not for you... go.

Come on, rock slug!

You've either got what it takes
or you don't.

This is where we see
who you really are.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's as simple as that.

Let's go. Good effort. Turn around.

That's it. Pull yourself.
Keep your head above the water.

The recruits are yet
to hit the halfway mark,

but number five, Sarah, has overtaken
number 11, Isabella,

who was first to begin the course...

Let's go. Good effort, number five!
Well done.

Sprint! Let's go.

..and the remaining recruits
are rapidly catching up.

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on, five!
(BLEEP) taking ages in there!

Do not come off the gas!

Come on! This is (BLEEP) weak!

Number 11, you started off first
and you're at the back!

Move!

There's no (BLEEP)
second place today!

Let's go!
Pays to be a winner!

Come on, all the way in!
Do not let him catch you!

(BLEEP) hurry up!

Arggh!

With four recruits having completed
a lap of the course,

number 11, Isabella, is yet to clear
the final obstacle.

Move!

FOXY: The military training course
is designed to (BLEEP) people up.

It's an endurance course,

and it is to see which person
is the weakest in the group.

While number 11, Isabella, struggles,

the remaining recruits
are punished as they wait.

Go on, let's go, let's go, let's go!

(CRIES OUT)

This isn't a course
that you just stick out...

Hurry up!

..and if you show
grit and determination,

you'll make it through.

Number 11, look at me.
Yes, staff?

Look at me.

They're (BLEEP) suffering
because of you.

I suggest you (BLEEP)
do the right thing!

And if it's not for you,
it's not for you.

Be honest with yourself.
Be honest with your teammates.

Do yourself a favour... and VW.

You can stop their suffering
right now

by either getting over this
or giving me your number.

Move!

Move!

They're suffering
because of your round!

Look!

I suggest you
do the honourable thing

and (BLEEP) hand your number in.

Away you go.

See, they're (BLEEP) going again
because of you -

because of you!

Two laps. You're (BLEEP)
putting them through as well.

Away you go. Away you go.

Away you go!

Either (BLEEP) move
or undo your armband now!

Move!
Number 11, move!

Number 11, if you don't make it in
time again, they're gonna go again.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Isabella stubbornly refuses to VW,

and she continues
to fall further behind.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Number 11,
stop being (BLEEP) selfish

and letting
your (BLEEP) teammates suffer!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

ISABELLA: I'm a team player.

I love seeing teams achieve goals.

When you achieve something
individually,

it's great, because you know
that it was all on you,

but when you achieve something
in a team,

you share the joy
with those other people.

You lift each other up,

and you kind of balance out each
other's strengths and weaknesses,

and I love that.

(PUFFS) I know.

No, you're out of time!
You're out of time!

Listen to me, number 11!

Get here! Get here! Get here now!

Listen to me - you are out of time,

and they're gonna keep going
around and around and around!

You are out of time!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

They have made it! You haven't!

Think about what you're doing!

Think about the unnecessary
suffering that they're gonna have,

and that you're having!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

If I were to VW,
that would break me.

I can't imagine quitting.

Think about it whilst you're (BLEEP)
getting through this obstacle,

and make a decision
at the end of it!

Teamwork is absolutely crucial.

Can you rely on your teammates?

Who's the weak link?
Who's the burden?

Because you don't want people in
your team that you have to babysit -

that are purely an individual.

That's when integrity
comes into play,

and that's when we (BLEEP) you off.

You got it!

The four punished recruits
continuously run the course,

and number 11 Isabella's
failure to catch up

is prolonging their suffering.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

You're out of time.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

It's done.

Give me your (BLEEP) number now.

(PUFFS)

Let's go! Look how far behind
you are, number 11.

Look how far behind...
(INDISTINCT)

No, you can't go...
no, it's not about you!

I know...

This is what you can't (BLEEP)
understand in your head!

It's about...

They're gonna keep (BLEEP) suffering

because you're not making it
in time - they are!

What does that tell you? Maybe
it's the end of the road for you!

Start thinking in your head!

I just know I can contribute
in other ways.

No, you cannot contribute
in other ways! Enough is enough.

(SIGHS)

Give me your number!
Think about it.

Think about this decision.
Get your head up!

Think about it.

That's why we set you up
(BLEEP) first...

Yeah.

..'cause I was hoping that you would
(BLEEP) come in in the middle.

You're done.
Yeah. Thanks so much.

Good effort.
You're a legend.

That was easily, like,
the best experience of my life.

Strong effort!

I can't believe
some of the things I did.

The biggest thing I learnt would be
to keep my mind on all the time,

and I think I'm more confident
because I know what I'm capable of.

I gave 110% the whole time,
and I'm wrecked.

Like, right now,
I feel like I'm gonna die,

but that's OK - I'll die happy.

(GENTLE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Next...

Everything that you've been taught
up to now will be tested.

..the recruits prepare...
Go!

..for their final mission.

You need to (BLEEP) start moving.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: It's the last day
of SAS selection,

and with number 11, Isabella,
culled from the course by the DS,

the remaining four recruits
have returned to base

to recuperate
before their final task.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

We don't have any more Panadol
and that, do we?

No.

Is that all gone?
I think it might be.

SARAH: Oh, that hurts!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Being a dancer, I think it'd just
be an incredible life achievement

to pass something
like SAS selection.

I know this last day
is gonna be tough,

but you know, I've taken hits
throughout my life,

throughout my career.

I've had to pick myself
off the floor so many times

and find the motivation
when I didn't think I had it,

and I'm hoping that can get me
to the end of the course.

I hope it's something long
and adventurous.

LUKE: Yeah.

Like, get to a rendezvous point or
something. That'd be pretty cool.

I think it's just gonna be something
you gotta dig deep through.

Like, just trekking
is what's (BLEEP) hard.

Yeah. Oh, (BLEEP), yeah.

JAMES: How's everyone - alright?
Yeah, mate.

Water bottles sorted?

Yeah, everything looks good, eh?

(PUFFS) Yeah, mate.

Alright. Goodbye, accommodation, eh?

Au revoir.
Au revoir!

Leaving the dorm for the last time...

MAN: Come on, move it!

Number eight, James,
number two, Luke,

number five, Sarah,
and number 13, James,

have so far survived
the brutality of Hell Week,

and are on their way
to the end stage of the course.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

You are just about to depart
on the final mission.

Everything that you've been taught
up to now will be tested.

You cannot afford to fall short
at any stage.

That will be you off the course.

And hopefully, you will get
to the end of the course.

That does not mean
that you pass the course.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Do not get me wrong, getting to
the end is a huge accomplishment...

..but it's that pass that you want.

Close up together.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

The final mission.

This is it. It's do or die.

This is, really,
where it's over to them.

We've done our job.

We've done everything that we can

to get them to this stage
of the course.

They've proven that
they deserve to be there.

Now we hand a full mission
over to them to complete.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Right, we've now been
forward-mounted

to a secure location.

You're gonna go in pairs.

You will complete
this mission together.

You do what it takes
to get the mission done.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Their first task will be to jump from
a helicopter into enemy territory.

Then, navigating their way
with a map,

they'll need to find a cache
of crucial equipment...

..ending with a difficult
hostage rescue scenario

amidst crippling tear gas.

Not completing each element
of the mission

will result in task failure.

We're looking to see
if they've learnt

everything we've taught them
on the course.

Everything.

To see if they've retained
that information -

if they've managed to adapt
that military mindset.

That's what we're looking for.

The first team to start the mission

are number five, Sarah,
and number eight, James.

This is where the thinking soldier
comes into play.

When it counts, can you deliver?

Can you do the basics to the highest
standards consistently,

even though you are physically
and psychologically drained?

Get down in front!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Go! Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

SARAH: My motivation for doing this
is to prove to myself

that I can be the person
that I really want to be.

I have messed up
in the past,

and I've lost touch
of who I was,

but this experience has been
absolutely life-changing for me.

There were moments
where I wanted to give up.

I just had no idea
what I was truly capable of.

I know that
I'm really gonna be able to...

..just accomplish so much more,

and I feel unstoppable.

Right, what we're gonna do,

we're gonna move off
from this location in a minute.

I'm gonna show you where
on the sketch map.

I'm then gonna give you
that sketch map.

Make sure it stays reasonably dry

so you can understand what it says
in the ground.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

Along with their map,

the recruits are required to memorise
a code to their cache

in order to complete
this element of the mission.

The final mission is basically
an amalgamation

of everything we've taught them.

So, we'll be expecting to see them
pull on all their reserves

and put into practice everything
that they've been taught.

It's gonna be physical, mental,
uncomfortable.

It's gonna be tough work.

Next to tackle the mission
are recruits number 13, James,

and number two, Luke.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

LUKE: Being part of the SAS course
has definitely changed my life.

I wanted to know how far
I could be pushed.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

It's given me the confidence
to attack all challenges head on

to prove myself
that I am good enough.

You know, moving forward now,

I can really use
the positive mindset

to get myself through
any difficult challenges in life.

To be able to get through this
course and to prove that, you know,

that I do have what it takes

would be, probably, the biggest
achievement of my life.

Next...
Go!

..who will fall...

You two, come here, come here!
Recompose yourselves!

(COUGHS)

..at the final test?

Stand up!
(GROANS)

It's almost like being suffocated
in a split second.

(GROANS) I can't open my eyes!

NARRATOR: It's the final mission
of SAS selection,

and everything is on the line
for the four remaining recruits.

Each decision could be the difference

between passing and failing
the course,

and affecting their chances
of selection.

Special forces teams
have been on the ground all week

gathering information
on a likely enemy target.

To that end, they have left
vital intelligence at cache

that you must retrieve.

Certain numbers relate
to something at that cache,

and that's 6-2-8-3-9.

Yep.
Understand?

What is that number I gave you?

6-2-3-8-9.
6-2-8-3-9.

Correct. Incorrect.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Alright, let's go. (BLEEP) move.

Move, move, move as fast as you can.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

At this stage of the course,

we're looking for someone
that can complete the mission

to the best of their abilities.

That looks like the track.

Did they complete the task?

Did they do everything
they were asked to do,

and did they push beyond
their limitations?

Because at the end of this,

we're gonna have to decide
who goes forward.

OK, 'X' marks the spot over here.

What side of the track is it on?

It's on this side, staff.

Well, start to look
around the area, then.

Recruits number eight, James,
and number five, Sarah,

have reached the T-junction
where the cache is hidden.

(WHISPERING)

And then you take the combination.

SARAH: OK.
6-2-8-3-9.

Well done.

Right, what's in there?

Bolt cutters.
Bolt cutters.

Right, take them out.
Hang on to it, yeah.

Making quick work of the lock,

the two recruits have retrieved
the cache's contents

and must move fast
to their last task.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

If I pass the selection
for SAS,

knowing how severe it is,

it would be one of the single
most greatest accomplishments

of my life so far.

Once we get past the tree,
we'll get a new bearing.

This course has
positively changed me

in a way that's almost
indescribable.

Self-belief, confidence.

Mindset is number one
with everything,

and being able to make it this far

is something that I could
not be prouder of myself.

Arggh!

Let's get in there. Come on.

Arriving at the location
of the cache,

number two, Luke,
and number 13, James,

get to work on retrieving
their vital piece of equipment.

What was it? (PUFFS)

6-2-8-3-9.

Six... (PUFFS)

Yep, put it down. That's it.

(STRAINS) What the (BLEEP)?

Hurry up.

Two, yeah?
(LOCK CLUNKS)

Ahh, (BLEEP)!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Come on!

You need to (BLEEP) start moving.

What was it?

6-2-8.
Eight.

Three.
Three.

Nine.
Nine.

Good effort, number 13.

With both teams
now having secured the cache...

Right, put that down.

..they move on to the crucial
final stage of the mission -

the hostage rescue.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Intel suggests that there's a cabin
this direction here...

..in a little outcrop of wood.

The hostage is in there.

Is that understood?
BOTH: Yes, staff.

What have you got?
Bolt cutters, staff.

Exactly. So, grab that.
OK.

Move with stealth, move with guile,
and get them home.

Let's go!

Go ahead of me.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Hostage rescue is probably
one of the hardest things

that a military person
can be asked to do.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

It's about saving someone's life
with everything against you.

I see it, I see it. Over here!

SARAH: Where?
Cabin - up here.

Stay low, stay quiet.

The enemy's against you,
time is against you.

The surroundings are against you.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Unknown to the recruits

is that the cabin is filled
with toxic tear gas.

FOXY: Let's go, let's go!
BILLY: Let's go!

Get in here!

Hostage is there! Get over here!

Forget the CS gas! Sort it out!
Where's your cutters?!

Get in there - you got the
bolt cutters. Compose yourself.

Hey! Where you going?!

Breath and go, breath and go.

(COUGHS)
Get in here!

Come out. Come out.
Compose yourself.

(COUGHS)

Stand up. Stand up.
(SARAH COUGHS)

Stand up!
FOXY: Don't touch your face.

Don't touch your face. Stand up.
(GASPS)

The CS gas takes away
your breathing, your vision.

It is petrifying.

It's almost like being suffocated
in a split second.

Do not touch your faces.

Your body will purge
anything that's alien in it.

(RECRUITS GASP)

You can't focus, you can't see.
You can't breathe.

(GROANS)
(GROANS) I can't open my eyes!

(GROANS)

Hold yourselves.

BILLY: It will create dysfunction,
it will create panic.

It's like drowning,
and it's relentless.

She (BLEEP) ran in there
and you left her in there.

You had the bolt cutters as well,
didn't you?

Yes, staff.

You (BLEEP) left her in there
to go in there by herself.

Didn't you?
Yes, staff.

SARAH: I know where he is, James.

He's sitting down in the corner.
My corner?

I just don't know where we have
to cut with the bolt cutters yet.

OK.

What have you got in your Bergens?
Have you got your jacket?

OK. What can we strap up?

Start thinking about it.
OK.

Quick! Quick! Hurry up.

Something to cover the face.
Towel.

And let's do it. Let's hurry up!

FOXY: Working in an environment
that's been flooded with tear gas

is a (BLEEP) nightmare,

and it will (BLEEP) you up.

Ready?
JAMES: OK, ready? Here we go.

And you need to know
how to work as a team.

You're never gonna pass this course
on your own.

Never.

If you need to come back out,
come back out.

Let's go!

There's the hostage! Save him!
Ignore the gas!

Come on, then!
You need to cut him free!

You need to look
at what you're (BLEEP) doing!

What are you looking at?!

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

(GAGS)

Come on, then! Free the hostage!
Get the hostage!

(RECRUITS COUGH)

Door shut, door shut.
Compose yourselves.

NARRATOR: Overcome by the gas,

the recruits are unable
to rescue the hostage...

Move, you two.

..let down by James's hesitation.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

Stay this side.
OK.

Then we'll get to that next tree
just on the right.

What do you reckon?
Hang on, hang on!

This one on the left here
with the big...

Alright, let's go to that one.

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

I'm doing this for my family,
you know, my friends,

and most importantly,
I'm doing this for myself.

This is probably the toughest thing
I've ever experienced in my life.

OK, these barrels on the left,
let's debrief.

If I'm completely honest,

there was plenty of times
I didn't think I'd make it this far.

Being selected or not,

I just want to know that
when it's all said and done,

I've given my absolute everything,

and I'm hoping that that's gonna get
me to the end.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

Approaching the cabin with caution,

recruits number two, Luke,
and number 13, James,

are unaware the cabin is compromised
with tear gas.

Go! Go!

BILLY: Let's go!
Oh!

There's the hostage! Free him!
Get him out!

Right, come out, come out, come out!

Where are you going?!

You two, come here!
(BLEEP)

Come here! Recompose yourselves.
Get down on your knees.

Number two,
get down on your knees!

(COUGHS)

Right, listen in! Listen in!

Recom... compose yourself!

OK, did anyone
see anything in there?

(GASPS) There's a hostage on the...

So... so, you know where he is, OK.

What have you got
in your (BLEEP) Bergens?

Have you got any kit
you can wrap around your faces?

Yes, staff.
Have you?

Right, I suggest you (BLEEP) go
and get what you need

to get back in there

Hurry up! Hurry up!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

This is where the thinking soldier
comes into play.

That's what we want -
the thinking soldier.

When you think your life
is at stake,

can you ignore all of that
to complete a mission?

BILLY: Ignore the gas! Let's go!

Quick, quick, quick, quick!

Ignore the gas! Get him!
Get him out! get him out!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(BOLT CUTTERS CLICK)

Get him out!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

That's it!
Come on!

That's it, that's it!
Get your Bergens on.

Leave him there, leave him there!
Get your Bergens on. Let's go.

Let's go! Hurry up! Grab that
casualty and follow the DS!

With the hostage rescued safely,

number two, Luke,
and number 13, James,

pass the final task of the mission.

Get the casualty in quickly!
Get the casualty in!

With the final mission complete...

Come on, hurry up!

..it's now up to the DS to decide...

Make sure he's in there.

..who, if any recruit...
Go!

..will pass SAS selection.

Quick, quick, quick!

The decision is always based
on one question.

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

(TENSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)

NARRATOR: The four remaining
civilian recruits

have completed the intensive
SAS selection course,

known as Hell Week.

No idea what we're doing now.

Just expect the unexpected.
Oh, yeah!

The DS will assess their performance

and decide who, if any recruit,

will pass SAS selection.

Alright, debrief, gents.

The first pair were number five
and number eight,

and the second pair were number 13
and number two.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

So, all in all,
what a (BLEEP) good team there.

I mean, yeah, they're a tight group,
to be honest.

You can tell that they're (BLEEP)
bonded and what have you.

They've all deserved to get to where
we've got to now at the end.

We'll go round the table,

'cause obviously we've got
an important decision to make.

Ollie, over to you.

13, from day one,
the backward dive -

I mean, he did that perfectly.

Go!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC SWELLS)

Good! Go!

His performance didn't stop.
Yeah.

Yeah, that (BLEEP) sketchy day
on the cas-evac.

Down! Down! Arggh!

Let's go!

13's had a couple of little mistakes
there, like everybody else.

Five picked it up today.

Get over here! Forget the CS gas!
Sort it out!

Awesome effort. She was there.

Number five has just been
an absolute workhorse

the whole way through.

She's done everything she's been
asked to do, plus some.

Fight!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

(GROANS)

The only thing I will say
about number five

is she needs to keep her mouth shut.

(SOBS)

Stop (BLEEP) whinging!

Number two, for me,
he's put in a massive effort.

Keep going, guys. Come on! (GRUNTS)

One little thing, which has
a massive influence on our world,

is his apprehension.

Yep.

(BLEEP) jump out! (BLEEP) go!

Jump!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC BUILDS)

When you've gotta go,
you've gotta go,

and you can't afford
to have that apprehension.

So, that's the one thing,
and then add that to today -

he couldn't have opened that case
without number 13 there,

and if number 13, for real, wasn't
there, it wouldn't have happened.

That was a bit disappointing.

I actually do think number two
was (BLEEP) good.

Better than I expected.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Then looking at number eight,
who has been consistent.

Come on, push!

Eight was good, but he let himself
down at that last minute there.

You (BLEEP) ran! She went in there
by her (BLEEP) self!

(SIGHS)

Billy?

Yeah, for me, I've seen
level pegging with three of them.

Mm-hm.

And one sort of clear
slightly in front.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

I think it's been an amazing course.

Listen, they all deserve
to be here at the end.

They've all put in a shift.

Such a tight call, this one,
such a tight call, but I think...

It's one of the tightest calls
we've had, I think.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

There's no set mould
with our decision.

We look at that person and we say,

"Would I put my life
in that person's hands?

"Do I trust that person enough?"

And if the answer is no,

then I don't care if you've got
to the end of the course.

You will not pass.

This concludes
the selection process.

This is the end of the course.

So, well done to all four of you
for reaching the end.

That doesn't mean
that you've all passed.

(TENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)

But you should be extremely proud
where you're stood right now.

Look how many
have fallen before you.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

And to have such a tight-knit group
at the end

means that we've done
a (BLEEP) good job,

and we're extremely proud
of what we've done

to see you stood here
in front of us at the end.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

When I call your number,
you take one step forward.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Number 13.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Number five.

Number 13 and number five, you have
successfully passed this course.

Well done.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Number eight and number two,
you did not pass the course.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

Well done, number five.
Well done, number 13.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

This has been the hardest thing
I've ever done in my entire life,

plus some.

I came here to prove a point,
to prove my resilience,

to prove that I'm capable
of doing this,

'cause I've doubted myself a lot
throughout my life.

So, this is just
one of those moments -

every time I doubted myself,
I went and I did it,

and I stuck to it
even when I wanted to quit.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

JAMES: Oh, just absolutely
on top of the world.

I just can't believe it.

Oh, this course
has absolutely changed my life.

It's broken me down,

and it's made me assess myself
and my weaknesses

and face up to my fears,

and moving on with my life now,

I just feel like
I'm capable of so much more.

It's changed my perspective on life,

and changed me as a person,
and shaped me as a person.

Outstanding effort.
Thank you.

Really, really good.

Just lacked that tiny bit
at the end.

Thank you, staff.

Well done, two.
Ta.

Absolutely outstanding.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC BUILDS)

Having done this course
and getting to the end,

if you tell me that you're not
a better version of who you are,

then I will call you a liar
to your face.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

We're out, baby!

There's nothing out there...

(BOTH CHEER)

..that teaches you about yourself
in such a short amount of time...

..than this selection process,

and for those standing
at the end of the course,

pass or fail, I salute you.

We did it, James.

(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)

(WHOOPING)
