00:00Sit.
00:05To the celebrities that are coming on this course,
00:08I've got one thing to say.
00:10Prepare for all of your worst nightmares to come true.
00:13I know.
00:15Instagram can't save you now.
00:16Guard!
00:18In this series...
00:20Let's go!
00:21...14 British and Australian celebrities...
00:25...have enlisted to go head-to-head
00:27...in the most punishing stages of SAS selection...
00:31I'm hoping I can overcome my biggest fear.
00:35Life is for living.
00:37It's now or never.
00:39...led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers...
00:44These celebrities are going to get their ass kicked on this course.
00:46We're going to blow!
00:48Let's go!
00:49We're going to hit them hard.
00:50And we're going to keep hitting them until we break them.
00:55Don't screw it up!
01:00No other test asks as much...
01:02Come on, don't give up!
01:03I'm not giving up stuff!
01:04What can I do, man?
01:05...or means as much...
01:07...to the few who make it through.
01:10I'm not going to ask.
01:11You can do it.
01:12You've got this.
01:25I've just had a whiff of this top and it hums.
01:28It smells like a gorilla's arse on.
01:32The celebrity recruits are approaching the halfway stage of the course.
01:38Yeah, I don't want to smell like this.
01:40I don't sweat and shit doesn't smell, so...
01:43All right, Prince Andrew.
01:46Of the 14 that started, seven Brits and five Australians remain.
01:52At this stage of selection, the recruits are physically, mentally, emotionally drained.
01:59And the truth is, it ain't going to get no easier.
02:02One minute!
02:05We're not bullshit!
02:07Get out, get out, get out, get out, let's go.
02:1030 seconds!
02:11Out of the way, out of the way, out of the way, let's go!
02:13Get him free!
02:14Come on, then, hurry up!
02:15Let's go, let's go!
02:18Ten seconds!
02:20Let's go!
02:21These celebrity recruits will be in an absolute world of pain.
02:29Two seconds spare.
02:32Water bottle, do it up.
02:33Taw yourselves out.
02:34Some of you look like how to work violinists.
02:37Day four, phase four.
02:39The pain and the fear is coming.
02:41The danger is coming.
02:44And if you hesitate, you'll hurt yourself or possibly kill yourself.
02:49And the worst part about one of you getting killed is the amount of paperwork that we have to do.
02:55Comprehend, eh?
02:56Yes, staff!
02:58Whose kit is out on the line out there?
03:01Shocking.
03:02Why did you do it, number two?
03:03I washed my clothes this morning, staff.
03:05Does anybody feel that's acceptable?
03:06No, staff.
03:08And because of that, you will suffer.
03:11Everybody, button number two, get your burger above your head.
03:14Quickly, let's go!
03:16Over your head.
03:17Lock out your arms.
03:19Get them up three.
03:22Lock it out.
03:25Keep them locked out.
03:28From that position there, bend your knees.
03:32Be like a statue.
03:34Lock it out, number 11.
03:35Everybody's waiting for number 11.
03:37Yes!
03:41I'm best known for Home and Away, playing a musician with a drug problem who just lost it all.
03:47So that was a stretch.
03:50I think I said lock your arms.
03:52I was hosting a couple of awards at the ARIA Awards, like the Australian Grammys.
03:56Get it up.
03:58And I just thought it'd be funny to get the old fella out on stage.
04:03And I was without a job the next day.
04:09The last six years I've been through a lot.
04:13Had back problems.
04:14Spent two and a half years not being able to work.
04:18Lock it out, no!
04:20The fear of my body letting me down, it is in the background.
04:23But I'm gonna give everything a red hot go regardless.
04:26Three!
04:27Two!
04:29One!
04:29Put them down between your legs.
04:32The curve is gonna swing high now.
04:35When I say go, disappear off this square back into the block.
04:38Go!
04:42I'll be flying the flag.
04:43I'll be a very proud Australian.
04:45It's gonna be a good, old fashioned battle.
04:48Three!
04:49Two!
04:50One!
04:53Ah!
04:56I'm sorry guys.
04:57Did you get your shit?
04:58I'll get it.
04:59Get it now.
05:00Get it now.
05:01Come on.
05:02Put a fork in me.
05:03I'm done.
05:04I'm a well done steak.
05:07Come on, just grab it bro.
05:08Let's go.
05:12Today's gonna be hell.
05:13Do you think actually we could die?
05:16Yeah, yeah.
05:18Let's go!
05:22Ready?
05:23Let's go boys.
05:25Grab your cat through the gate.
05:27Make sure you've got your gum shells.
05:30Let me tell you something about special forces.
05:33It's not strength or speed that wins the day.
05:37But endurance.
05:43Any idea about what we're facing here?
05:45Nah, no idea man.
05:46Whatever it is, it won't be what we expect and it'll be fucking harder than what we thought.
05:50Yeah.
05:53You must accept pain, misery and suffering on every mission.
05:58Oh, fuck me, my neck sore.
06:01So what we're looking for in these recruits is no matter how fatigued they are, they never give up.
06:07They keep going forward.
06:10Am I nervous?
06:13Yeah, I'm nervous.
06:23You fucking know the drill.
06:25Go get your bergens, come to me.
06:27Hurry up!
06:29Right, stay with me.
06:30Let's go.
06:31The DS have transported the recruits 17 miles from base for the first task of the phase.
06:41Okay, bottles away, heads up, and have a guess where you're going.
06:47To reach the task, they must first climb 27 flights of stairs to the top of the dam.
06:54Gonna go rapidly.
06:56First two, number three, number four.
06:58Go!
06:59Hurry up!
07:01Next two, go!
07:02Keep the foot on the gas!
07:06Get up there four, head up!
07:08Come on, Dan, you can do it.
07:10Come on.
07:11Do not let me catch you!
07:12Come on, come on, let's go.
07:14Let's push it.
07:16Come on, guys.
07:23If you're not at the top, in two minutes we're going back down.
07:27Oh, fuck.
07:28Having started at the front, number three, Jack, is now holding up the recruit's ascent.
07:35Get past them!
07:37One minute, forty seconds!
07:38I don't think I can do this.
07:40When I signed up for this, my mind was like, oh, you shouldn't do this.
07:45Fuck's sake!
07:47Since suffering with liver failure, I'm not physically fit enough, to be honest.
07:52I think I'm done.
07:54If I'm holding everyone back, I think that is the only time where I would consider handing in the armband.
08:02Oh, my God.
08:02Get up there!
08:04Fucking move!
08:06Ten seconds, get up there!
08:12Come on, number three!
08:14Keep going!
08:16I'm hoping my brain is strong enough to overcome that voice in my head that's telling me I can't do
08:24something.
08:26Well done.
08:28Compose yourself.
08:30Standby.
08:32Stop.
08:33Do we keep our backpacks on?
08:35Who was that?
08:36Who was that?
08:37Who said backpack?
08:39Give me twenty press-ups right now.
08:41Turn around.
08:42Face that way.
08:43Twenty push-ups.
08:49Twenty push-ups.
08:50I can't.
08:51I can't.
08:52I can't do it.
08:53Yes, you can.
08:54There's one.
08:54Oh, fuck.
08:56Let's go.
08:58I can't.
09:00I can't do it.
09:02Get back up!
09:02That's two!
09:04I can't do it.
09:05Get your ass back down.
09:06My VW stuff.
09:07What?
09:08I can't do it stuff.
09:09Are you sure this is what you want to do?
09:11Yes, stop.
09:12VW stuff.
09:17I would consider myself not a quitter, but I think I can be.
09:25If I take that armband off, I just, yeah, I'd be really disappointed in myself.
09:36Number three, Jack, becomes the first British celebrity to leave the course.
09:45Special Forces, we sweat harder in training so we bleed less in combat.
09:50You're feeling the sweat now.
09:52You ignore the pain, compartmentalize the fear, and you get on with the job.
09:58Am I understood?
09:59Yes, stop.
09:59Yes, stop.
10:00About face.
10:01Look into the dam.
10:07You will see D.S. Foxy, D.S. Chris up there.
10:13Oh.
10:14Oh, shit.
10:14Simulating a real-world Special Forces extraction, recruits need to repel 45 meters down the face of the dam.
10:24Fuck me.
10:24At the marker, they need to release their own safety line and free fall the final eight meters.
10:33Oh.
10:34They must then swim 40 meters to the extraction point, all within a three-minute time frame.
10:42If you don't make it to the boat in time, it is a fail.
10:48All right, let's get ready to rock.
10:56I'm not going to look down.
10:57I realise how much of a wimp I am in life.
10:59Yeah, me too.
11:00Me too.
11:03The first recruits to take on the task are number four, Danny, and number five, Gabby.
11:10Nobody likes heights.
11:12If you do, then you are fucking batshit crazy.
11:15OK, step down.
11:16But my biggest fear would be deep, open water and swimming.
11:23Right, have you abselled before?
11:25No.
11:25Never abselled.
11:26Oh, my God, it looks even worse for my fear.
11:29So, heights, as I've got older, I've become a little bit ridiculous around them.
11:33Am I going to fall?
11:34No, straighten your legs.
11:36Straighten your legs.
11:37I don't think I can do it.
11:38You can do it.
11:38I hope I keep my calm, cos I feel like once I panic, I'm really bad at, like, getting out
11:42of the panic.
11:43Don't watch out.
11:43I can't do it, I can't do it.
11:44You can do it, man.
11:46You're not going to raise it.
11:46Look at me.
11:47There you go.
11:48Now straighten your legs.
11:49I don't want to do it.
11:50Just straighten your legs.
11:51You've got it.
11:52My arms are in.
11:54I'm going to let go.
12:01Come on, Danny.
12:02You can do it.
12:03I don't want to do it.
12:04I'm going to fall.
12:05You can do it.
12:06You can do it.
12:06You can do it.
12:06You can do it.
12:07They're nearly shitting herself, I reckon.
12:09Number four, Danny, and number five, Gabby, are attempting the first task of phase four.
12:16A double drop repel and water extraction.
12:20I just think I'm not good enough.
12:22This is beautiful.
12:23And he gets it done.
12:24Yeah.
12:25You're under control.
12:26Lean back.
12:27Do as you fucking tore by the DS.
12:29It's okay.
12:30You've got it.
12:30Well done.
12:32Okay.
12:32See?
12:33You can do it, can't you?
12:35Stand by.
12:36You've got three minutes.
12:38Go.
12:39Come on.
12:40That's it.
12:42Walk down the wall.
12:44Look how slow she's going.
12:45She's riding the brake.
12:47That's it.
12:48All the way down to the white line.
12:50This arm feels like it's going to pop out.
12:54Now break.
12:57Lock off.
12:58Unleash your safety.
13:00That's why I unlocked.
13:02Someone help me.
13:04Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum.
13:08There.
13:08Come on.
13:09Come on.
13:13Swim your ass off.
13:15To the valley.
13:18Like a swimming treadmill.
13:21Let's go.
13:22Number five Gabby makes it to the pickup.
13:25Outside the three-minute window.
13:27Fail.
13:29Go far.
13:30I'm stuck.
13:31Meanwhile, number four Dani is still attached to her safety line.
13:36Unclip with your left hand.
13:41She hasn't uncleared.
13:42She's under safety.
13:43Having not released the safety line, she also fails.
13:48She's made you look brilliant.
13:54Lean back.
13:55Lean back.
13:56Lean back.
13:57Keep your brake on.
13:57Keep your brake on.
13:58Next.
13:58Number 12.
14:00Actor Ryan.
14:01Get under.
14:02That's it.
14:02Keep it there.
14:03Yeah.
14:03I'm used to pushing myself to the very brink and finding more.
14:10But one of those things about ADHD is that if there's too much going on, my brain can really
14:15struggle.
14:16He's paired with international cricketer, number six Graham.
14:20I think the highest point in my career undoubtedly was winning the Ashes.
14:24But that was years ago and now I'm 46, which makes me a bit nervous.
14:29Hopefully my mind can get me through the bits that my body can't.
14:32You ready?
14:32Yes, Tom.
14:33Three minutes.
14:34Go.
14:36Oh, fuck.
14:37All the way down.
14:38That's it.
14:38Number 12.
14:39Get eye contact.
14:40Look at me.
14:41I'm with you.
14:41I'm with you.
14:42Now down to the white line.
14:44Keep going.
14:46Lock off when you're there.
14:48When you're there.
14:48You're there.
14:49You're there.
14:49You're there.
14:50You're there.
14:51Unclip and go.
14:52Go.
15:00Swim.
15:02Oh, they're quick.
15:03They're quick.
15:04Get off the number 12.
15:06Go, Seth.
15:07Go.
15:09Don't stop.
15:11Right.
15:11Get your foot into that loop now.
15:14Fucking hell.
15:15Help me out here.
15:16I'm fucking...
15:17Come on, then.
15:18Come on.
15:19You look like a...
15:20I know, sir.
15:21Sloundering.
15:22Fuck.
15:23Okay, sir.
15:25Both of you to compose yourselves.
15:27It was a good effort, actually.
15:29So it's both passed there.
15:30Thank you, sir.
15:35On a particular operation, we were located in a four-story building.
15:40And the only way out, while under attack...
15:43That's it.
15:43That's it.
15:44That's it.
15:44That's it.
15:44That's it.
15:44That's it.
15:45Fucking hell.
15:45It was to himself.
15:47Go.
15:48Let's go.
15:50Let's go.
15:52Oh, shit.
15:53Come on, come on.
15:54It's absolutely horrendous situation to be in.
15:57Come on, number one.
15:58Come on.
15:58Come on.
15:59Come on.
15:59You have to move with purpose.
16:02All the way down.
16:04Because you are a sitting duck.
16:05Lock up with your right hand.
16:07Unclip with your left hand.
16:10Oh, now he's fucked up.
16:12There's too many things that can go wrong.
16:14If you hesitate on the rope, you will die.
16:17Unclip and go!
16:19This one?
16:19Or this one?
16:20If you get caught up on the rope...
16:22What line?
16:24...you're gonna die.
16:26Go!
16:29Shit!
16:31And if you don't make it to the extraction point...
16:34...you're gonna fucking die.
16:37Swim!
16:38Whoa, number seven!
16:39Let's go, Cole!
16:41This is your last chance to survive and get out to safety.
16:45Swim!
16:46Give it everything you've got...
16:48Go!
16:49Go!
16:49Go!
16:50...as fast as you possibly can.
16:52I'm out.
16:53Good effort, number seven!
16:55Pass.
16:55Well done.
16:57Let's go.
17:00Failed.
17:01Oh, I'm busted.
17:04And that's what happens when you miss extract.
17:08Failed.
17:13Now facing the task, number nine, international cricketer Brad.
17:18Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:20And number 11, home and away actor Axel.
17:24That's it.
17:25Hold that position.
17:26At this point in my life, I need to find out really what I'm made of.
17:30Do not hold it too tight.
17:32About ten years ago, I went for a Thai massage and ruptured a disc.
17:38I had to have three operations on my back and it's been a long journey back to my former self.
17:44Eleven's ready.
17:46If I am standing in front of the DS and I've completed the course...
17:51Wow.
17:52Didn't expect to feel that.
17:54That's what it'll feel like.
17:58Let's go.
17:59Let's go.
17:59Go on, Eleven.
18:00Go on.
18:01Go on, Eleven.
18:05So far, so clean.
18:06We good?
18:07Yeah, man.
18:08Watch that ledge.
18:09Yep.
18:09Okay, down.
18:11There you go.
18:13Down to white line, Eleven.
18:14Slow down.
18:16Slow down.
18:17Can you see the white line?
18:18Yep.
18:19Where is it?
18:20Number nine, Brad misses the brake marker and runs out of rope.
18:29They've not disconnected their safety, so that's a fail already.
18:33With Brad having failed, number 11 Axel is running out of time.
18:40Unclip the safety line!
18:42Yes!
18:43Now go on!
18:46Now swim!
18:49Swim!
18:53Come on, then. Get to me.
18:57Get yourself in.
18:59Come on, then. I'm fucking blowing myself out here.
19:02Get your fucking foot into that.
19:04Come on, get up.
19:05Go, go, go, go, go.
19:07Come on, I can't fucking however you are, you.
19:09Go, go, go, go, go.
19:10Get the fuck up here.
19:15Right, get in there.
19:18He makes it with seconds to spare.
19:22Nine fail, Eleven pass.
19:28Listen up, recruits.
19:30Six passed, five failed.
19:34As a squad, combat ineffective.
19:37We're on day four.
19:39Some of you are keen and some of you are not.
19:42What we demand is 100% effort in everything you do.
19:48Go! Now!
19:52Bergen's on, straight into it.
19:54Let's go!
19:58Hurry up, get in!
20:00Bergen's in, then free to a vehicle, let's go.
20:10Oh man, this fucking arm is killing me.
20:12Why don't you see the doctor, Axel?
20:15There's not so much you can do for nerve pain.
20:17That's the thing.
20:22I had no idea what it's like to live with chronic pain until I went through it.
20:28It affects every part of your body, but the psychological aspect, that's probably toughest.
20:35It's like, I don't want to flare something up and go through that shit again,
20:38because last time we got me in a lot of trouble.
20:41I remember thinking that shit, I won't be able to run again.
20:43I won't be able to ride a horse, I won't be able to ride a motorbike.
20:46And that's really scary.
20:48Really lost my confidence.
20:51Felt isolated.
20:52An addiction came in then.
20:55I was painkillers, opiates and sort of anything I could get my hands on.
21:01Oh, fuck it.
21:03My zest for life was getting lost.
21:08I needed help.
21:10So I found a rehab facility and started the journey.
21:15What can I do to help?
21:17I was just concerned.
21:18I felt like a, just that shooting pain of disc.
21:22Have you got any pins and needles down your arm at all?
21:24Yeah.
21:24You've got that.
21:25Absolutely.
21:26Let's go and sit up here and have a look at you, okay?
21:28Okay, can you lift your arm straight up in there for me?
21:30Just keep going.
21:32Is that painful?
21:33Just painful through here.
21:34Okay, right, come and sit back.
21:36So pull me towards you.
21:39Okay, hands out.
21:41Cock your wrist back.
21:42I'll push this one down.
21:43Fight against me.
21:45Push against me.
21:46Good, okay, and just relax.
21:47Right, so we've got neck pain, we've got numbness and tingling in this arm
21:52and you've got reduced power in this arm, okay?
21:55You know what I'm going to say.
21:57We can't keep you in.
21:59I'm going to have to medically withdraw you.
22:03We need to get it looked at, okay?
22:07Let me give you a minute to yourself and I'll go and speak to the DS, okay?
22:10Beautiful.
22:31What the fuck are you doing in here?
22:34You all right?
22:35You all right?
22:35Yeah, I'm right.
22:38All right.
22:42Listen, before you shoot off, what was your aims, your goals of coming here?
22:46I sort of had a point in my life where I just lost myself, lost my motivation and just escaping
22:53my feelings and not knowing sort of what I wanted to do.
22:57How do you feel now?
22:58After doing a bunch of therapy, sort of, and working on the internal, I haven't really put that to the
23:03test in a physical sense and in a sort of external sense.
23:07And that's what this was going to be.
23:09Well, that's what this is for me.
23:11Do you feel you've got something from this?
23:12I've got a fucking whole stack of it, yeah.
23:15Well, I'll tell you now, mate, on behalf of all the DS, we hope you have.
23:18Because you've been a fucking good recruit on this course.
23:22Thank you, Seth.
23:23I think you've given everything you've got, you've got nothing else to prove to us.
23:27And I hope you've got nothing else to prove to yourself.
23:29Thank you very much.
23:29You've been a proper fucking Aussie.
23:33Anyway, listen, I'll have to take your arm back right now.
23:38Making it to the end, yes, that's my goal.
23:40But if I don't, success to me is knowing that I have accessed and emptied the tank.
23:48All I know is I've got my mojo back and I'm really happy where I am in life.
23:53All right, go get them.
23:54Go Australia.
23:54Go UK.
23:55I fucking love you all.
23:56It's been an absolute pleasure.
23:58Peace.
24:01I think in life, you've got to bloody grab the bull by the horns and give it a red hot
24:05go.
24:05You know, that's what I believe we're kind of put on this earth to do.
24:22Has anyone ever died doing it?
24:26Because I don't think I'm far off.
24:29Halfway through day four of selection and the course has already claimed two more recruits.
24:37On special forces selection, energy levels are depleting each day, but the days are getting harder so you have to
24:43keep digging deep.
24:46Your knees ache, your ankles ache, you've got burns and rubs all over your back from your kit.
24:54And you'll see grown men cry because emotionally they're just rinsed.
25:02He didn't sleep last night.
25:04No?
25:05I don't think he slept at all.
25:07Why didn't you say that?
25:08Because every time I woke up he was up pacing in and out the door.
25:16Like that.
25:17That's bad.
25:18He needs to look after him.
25:21For sure.
25:25When you reach that point, the reality is you're better off gone.
25:40Staff!
25:44I feel like I'm mentally strong, but I've never really been pushed to do extreme things.
25:52What's up?
25:53I'm ready to go home.
25:55Fuck off.
25:56What are you talking about?
25:57Just because your mate's gone?
25:58No.
25:58Yeah, it is.
25:59It's not.
26:00What is it then?
26:01I just don't think I'm mentally strong enough, really.
26:03Mate, you've given up.
26:04You've taken the easy route, which you'll continue to do when you walk through that door.
26:08Mark my words.
26:09Give me your arm back.
26:13Fucking waste of fucking space.
26:15Fuck off.
26:20I don't think I could VW from this course.
26:24I couldn't do that.
26:26See you, Cole.
26:27Bye.
26:28Bye.
26:30I hope I don't eat my words, because if this is playing, I've quit.
26:35Oh, it's going to look so bad.
26:37Number one, Cole, becomes the second British recruit to leave the course.
26:44Hodgie, what would you have called me if you'd played against me?
26:46Duff cunt.
26:48I've been called a lot worse.
26:50Let's move!
26:52What's he say?
26:53We're moving.
26:55Let's go!
26:59Oh!
27:02Fucking hell.
27:04Come on.
27:13That wasn't much recovery time, was it?
27:15No.
27:17Nothing can prepare you for this.
27:18Nothing.
27:19I think it's going to get fucking rock hard from now on, isn't it?
27:22Yeah.
27:22Yeah.
27:24For the second task of the phase, the recruits have been brought to a remote village.
27:34They will be tested on their teamwork, endurance, and ability to make critical decisions during
27:41the casualty evacuation.
27:44Your mission is as follows.
27:46In teams of three, you will navigate this urban battlefield.
27:55You will locate a casualty.
27:58With communication and lightning speed, you're going to get them off the X.
28:02That means out of the kill zone to an extraction point.
28:06Am I understood?
28:07Yes, Sal.
28:12My gut feeling is that as soon as they give the brief...
28:15Yeah.
28:16...the attention to detail is critical.
28:18Yeah.
28:19First to go, a team alpha.
28:23Number 10, Olympic swimmer Emily.
28:27Number 2, Gladiator Toby.
28:30And number 9, Brad.
28:33I'd say that I'm relatively good under pressure.
28:36I was a professional athlete.
28:38I've navigated my way through challenges with the best players in the world and got the job done.
28:44Let's go!
28:46I like to think that I can still be the beast of old.
28:50Right, listen to what I'm going to tell you.
28:51Okay, you are part of a rescue medical team.
28:54Last night, your comrade was in there with his interpreter doing hearts and minds.
28:58And he's wearing an American flag.
29:00The place got blasted to pieces, as you can see.
29:02So you've got to go in there, find him, and get him out to the LS.
29:06When there was a 10-minute window before the enemy is sweeping through and killing everything, okay?
29:10So you ought to fucking save lives.
29:12That's your job, saving lives.
29:13Let's go!
29:14Move!
29:15Come on!
29:16We've only got 10 minutes!
29:18The brief is to locate a wounded soldier within the heart of the village.
29:25How are you with, buddy? With our team? Let's go!
29:27Get him in your stretcher!
29:28Let's go!
29:29Time's against us. That's already two minutes gone!
29:31Come on! Seven minutes! Let's go!
29:33Once located, they need to radio for extraction.
29:37We have located a casualty on the way to LS.
29:40Yeah, roger that. Move to the LS now.
29:44They must carry the casualty through 400 metres of rugged terrain in 37-degree heat,
29:51all within a 10-minute time limit.
29:54Let's go! You're getting fucking shot up!
29:58Come on, let's go! Let's go! Get him up!
30:02You all right, Brad?
30:03Come on, what are we going to do?
30:05My back is fucked.
30:07Fucking get this moving!
30:08Can you do the heaviest on your own and walk backwards?
30:11I can't walk backwards.
30:12You're going to have to. We're fucked. You're the strongest. You're going to have to walk backwards!
30:17We can direct you!
30:18Big dog! Get on him! Walk backwards!
30:20You two need to put it together and try and get this side. I can't walk backwards. I cannot do
30:24that.
30:24My back's in fucking ten pieces, man.
30:28Let's go!
30:34Unbeknownst to the recruits, they will encounter a second casualty, the soldier's interpreter.
30:40There's another person there, guys.
30:42What can I do about it?
30:43They must identify them as friendly and rescue them to pass the task.
30:49We've got three and a half minutes!
30:50It's not military.
30:52Okay.
30:52Not military.
30:53Let's go.
30:54Ready?
30:55Three and a half minutes!
31:00Speed it off! Let's go!
31:02Fuck.
31:02Let's go! Come on now!
31:04Team Alpha reached the extraction point within the time limit, but without the second casualty.
31:13What was the scenario?
31:15We had to pick up a fellow team-mate.
31:18Who was he with? Was he on his own?
31:20Yes.
31:21He was on his own? Is that what I told you at the start?
31:23No stuff.
31:24He was in there with his fucking interpreter. Does that ring a bell?
31:28I told you, save lives. You don't leave people there to be fucking slaughtered. Fucking fail.
31:44Bravo on me! Let's go! Quick as you can! Four! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!
31:55Let's go! Let's go! Move!
31:58How shall we have found?
31:59Every second counts.
32:01Golden hour! We've already lost a minute! Strap him in!
32:04You're carrying one of your fellow comrades, one of your friends.
32:08We've only got fucking eight minutes to the LS!
32:11Hooray!
32:12He's being shot and screaming.
32:14The enemy's right behind you! Let's go!
32:17Your legs are burning and your hands feel like they're going to fall off. There's no room
32:22for everything.
32:24We've got five minutes!
32:26We've got five minutes!
32:26The importance of not leaving a man behind is paramount.
32:30We're going to attack! Jack everywhere! Jack!
32:32Oh, there's someone there!
32:35You have to make split-second decisions.
32:38Please, civilian!
32:40What are we going to do about it?
32:41Leave him, leave him!
32:42Leave him!
32:44Leaving somebody behind.
32:46Everything you've got!
32:48Come on, Ben.
32:49That's a decision you're going to have to live with.
32:52You are now at the LS.
32:59Right, listen to me.
33:00That interpreter have given everything to us to keep us alive,
33:04and that's how you're fucking repaying?
33:05Yeah, stuff.
33:08Failed.
33:12Now facing the task are Team Charlie,
33:16Number 5 Gabby,
33:18Number 12 Ryan,
33:20and Number 6 Graham.
33:23I think I'm very determined, yes.
33:25Let's go, let's go, let's go!
33:27He's here!
33:27He's here, come on!
33:28Get him in!
33:29Get out of here!
33:30Get out of here!
33:31If there's a goal to achieve, I want to do it.
33:34We have the victim heading to the LS now.
33:38Move to pickup.
33:39Hurry up!
33:40Move!
33:41Move!
33:41We've got to get to the LS!
33:43We're moving, we're moving.
33:44If something prevents me from doing that,
33:46it better not be something that's my fault.
33:49It's too heavy.
33:51Fuck's sake.
33:53Forget about your pain!
33:55We're saving that cousin's life!
33:56Let's drive!
34:00Who's that?
34:02There's someone else that needs help.
34:03We're not going to have enough hands.
34:05There I go.
34:05We'll come back for you.
34:06I'll try to come over my shoulders.
34:08He's not on our side.
34:09He's not wearing the same.
34:10No, he's not the same as us!
34:12He is!
34:12He's not the same as us!
34:13He's not the same as us!
34:14He's got the same as us!
34:14He's got a US flag on his chest.
34:17Have you got US?
34:17Okay.
34:19Come on, up!
34:20You're on the back or the front?
34:21Let's go!
34:22Come on!
34:23I'm over!
34:23We need to get the LS!
34:25Let's go!
34:26We've got three minutes!
34:27Come on, bud.
34:27Can you take him?
34:28Yeah.
34:29Let's go.
34:30Come on, guys.
34:31Three minutes!
34:32Number six Graham has correctly identified the interpreter,
34:36but is struggling with an injured hand.
34:38I can't!
34:39My hand is a worry.
34:41It's what finished my cricket career.
34:43There's only so much I can do without losing feeling in my right hand.
34:46I can't!
34:47My fucking arm!
34:48I'm gonna drop it and my right hand's gonna go!
34:50I can't!
34:57But I'm just determined to keep going.
35:00One foot in front of the other.
35:01Lift!
35:04Come on!
35:05Come on!
35:08Come on!
35:10Up!
35:10Up!
35:11Don't give up!
35:12I'm fucking trying!
35:13Let's go!
35:17Let's drive!
35:18Hold my bag!
35:19Let's drive!
35:19Hold my bag!
35:20That's it!
35:21Let's drive!
35:22Place the casualty down there!
35:25Right, you're at the LS.
35:30Step forward!
35:31Come here!
35:33You're fucking grafted there!
35:34As a team!
35:36Yes, sir!
35:37It fucking hurts!
35:38That's just the reality of it!
35:39Yep!
35:40Good effort to pass!
35:41Thank you, sir!
35:41Yes, sir!
35:48Right, listen up!
35:50That there is about as real as it gets!
35:53Another casualty in there!
35:55That's another human being!
35:57You try and get him out!
35:58Team Alpha!
35:59Fail!
36:01But!
36:01Good effort number nine, carrying an injury!
36:05Bravo!
36:06Fail!
36:06Seven!
36:07Like a bull!
36:08Strong!
36:09Team Charlie!
36:10Pass!
36:11Both!
36:11You nearly become a casualty yourself at times throughout that!
36:16My upper body strength is probably my Achilles heel!
36:18That's good!
36:20Which is...
36:21...disappointing!
36:23That was really hard, that carrying!
36:26Yeah, oh, my God!
36:27I don't see how they're going to keep getting harder without physically, like, chopping our heads off!
36:32I'm expecting it to be incredibly tough, almost to the breaking point.
36:37But I don't want to quit!
36:39That's not in my nature!
36:48This is fucking hardcore!
36:51Like, international sport I've played for ten years, nothing ever came close to this!
36:55Ben, have you struggled yet?
36:57Every fucking day!
37:01The recruits are nearing the end of phase four of the course!
37:06How much harder can it be until your body just refuses to do any more?
37:09Yeah!
37:17How are you, mate?
37:18Nah, I'm cactus, bro!
37:20Huh?
37:21Lower back is killing me!
37:23Really?
37:24Yeah?
37:26You ask any sports person, we always want to be high achievers.
37:31But being 50, the body is not what it was.
37:36Stop!
37:37I can understand why I might not get to the finish line.
37:43Hey, Niner, what's going on?
37:46Unfortunately, the body's got the better of the mind, so I'm going to have to request a VW.
37:53All right.
37:54I'll tell you what, you pushed further than I thought.
37:56It definitely shows your mind is very, very strong.
37:59And I thought you did a great job.
38:01So, uh, it's just the end of the road.
38:04Whenever you walk out to bat, you want to score runs.
38:07You want to perform.
38:08Keep smashing it.
38:09Keep smashing it.
38:11Heartland crime.
38:14If you nick it and make it duck, you feel shit.
38:18Go hard.
38:20Well, come and join me.
38:22Maybe that gets better.
38:24See you there, buddy.
38:25Bye.
38:26I think for me, if you can walk away knowing that you've overcome some difficult times and challenges,
38:32then that's what you're made of.
38:34That's the essence of the Aussie grit.
38:38Number nine Brad becomes the fourth Australian to leave the course.
38:47Just eight recruits remain.
38:50Three Australian and five British.
38:54Right.
38:55Task two.
38:56The Casivac.
38:57Team Alpha and Team Bravo.
39:00They knew there was an interpreter.
39:01Also, they knew to look for the American flag.
39:05So fucking disappointing, if I'm honest.
39:07Right.
39:08Team Charlie.
39:09I led that one.
39:10Twelve.
39:11Five.
39:12And six.
39:13They got to the second casualty.
39:15And they brought him along.
39:17He was walking wounded.
39:18But they rallied through.
39:19Number six was struggling with his hand.
39:22Nearly become the casualty himself.
39:24He was putting in that much of an effort.
39:26But all of them put in a hundred percent to get to the end.
39:30And it was a pass.
39:31Six.
39:32He's an athlete.
39:33But he's no spring chicken.
39:35And I'm worried about 12's mental state.
39:37Towards the end, he was barely in there.
39:39Okay.
39:40So let's get number 12 into the medic.
39:43And I personally would like a little look at number six.
39:48He's carrying an injury, which I'm very aware of.
39:51But he's still going at it.
39:52So I wouldn't mind having a look at number six.
39:55Okay.
39:56End the press.
39:57All rise.
40:03Recruit six!
40:05I need six!
40:12Go ahead and stand against Sarah.
40:21Sit.
40:28How are you feeling?
40:29I feel fucking awful.
40:31Why? What's up?
40:32That's the hardest thing I've ever done today.
40:34That has absolutely wiped me out.
40:37Obviously, we see things, but we want to hear it from you.
40:41Just give us an insight to who you are.
40:45My dad was a shit-hot cricket player.
40:47And so me and my brother, he just coached us and coached us.
40:51And we ended up playing cricket.
40:53I'd gone up through the ranks.
40:54I played in England 14, 15.
40:56I was always one of the best players.
40:58Nineteens.
40:58We won the World Cup.
41:00And went on the full tour where I was playing with my heroes.
41:03So you're playing for your country now?
41:05Yeah.
41:05What was that like?
41:07First game, I was way too young, way too cocky,
41:09like most young sportsmen are.
41:11Didn't appreciate what it was to play for England at that point.
41:14Played one game, pissed the coach off, pissed the establishment off.
41:19The coach who was in charge then, I didn't play for England again
41:23until he got the boot.
41:24And it was the best thing that ever happened to me.
41:26Because I grew up a bit.
41:28Tell me about the highs and the lows of your career.
41:31The highs?
41:32The first time I won the Ashes for England, I'll be honest.
41:35But it all went tits up very suddenly.
41:38I got nerve damage in my arm.
41:40I suddenly couldn't feel my hands.
41:42But I didn't tell them.
41:44I thought it would be fine.
41:45This will be my last Ashes.
41:47I wanted this big happy ending at Sydney where we beat them
41:50and all the crowds singing my name.
41:52Yeah.
41:52About a week into the tour, I realised I'd fucked up massively.
41:56I was bowling.
41:58Ran up to let the ball go.
41:59Didn't know where it was going.
42:01I walked off the ground and sat in the shower,
42:04just crying my eyes out.
42:05Just think, for fuck's sake, what the fuck am I doing?
42:10I'd be lost.
42:11I'd blame myself.
42:13And that's haunted me, to be honest.
42:14Haunted me ever since.
42:15Do you still beat yourself up about it?
42:17Yeah.
42:17So if you had the chance again, what would you do different?
42:19I wouldn't have gone on that tour.
42:21I'd have been honest.
42:23I'd have...
42:24I'd have been less selfish.
42:26Because all I could see was the fucking glorious end.
42:29Me having my name in lights.
42:31Beautiful career finished.
42:36You've got to let it go, though.
42:38You can't change it.
42:39Yeah.
42:40It's fucking happened.
42:41Yeah.
42:41You learn from it.
42:42And I think the biggest learning thing for you is admitting to it.
42:45Yeah.
42:47So what's your reasons?
42:48Why did you come here?
42:49Well, to prove that I'm not a fucking quitter.
42:54I know I'm a liability in some things, because I'm old and I'm not as strong as I could be.
42:58But I want them to see me way past my prime, but fucking try my best.
43:04And even if it's not good enough, I'm not going until you fucking pick me off the ground or rip
43:08the badge off me.
43:09It's...
43:10I want them to see that.
43:14You've said it yourself.
43:15You know spring chicken.
43:16None of us are.
43:17But you've given a good account of yourself so far.
43:19Thanks, Tom.
43:20I mean, it's going to get harder.
43:22Mm.
43:23I can't see why you won't get to the end.
43:26Well, only you know that.
43:29Fucking dig deep.
43:30I will.
43:31God!
43:36When I look back on it, I wish we'd have walked away having won the Ashes.
43:40But sport isn't like that.
43:42Sport's not fair.
43:45All right, Six.
43:47Keep the spirits high.
43:48Make sure to stop.
43:49The team were being absolutely demolished.
43:51And as soon as I'd realized I had to retire, the press thought, well, it's just running away and he
43:57doesn't want to play.
43:58And I was the scapegoat at this point.
44:00Was it OK?
44:01Yeah.
44:01Good.
44:02Well, I was just honest.
44:04He said, how do you feel?
44:05I said, I feel fucking horrific.
44:06But he just said, like, stop thinking your reliability.
44:09I believe I have the mental grit to get to the end of this course.
44:13I hope I'm right.
44:27Today was nuts.
44:28I didn't think that many people would leave.
44:30It shows, doesn't it, how hard it is.
44:33That one day we lose four people.
44:35Yeah.
44:35That's half gone, isn't it?
44:37Nearly half.
44:38Yeah.
44:40Most people that come on Special Forces of Selection think it's a physical thing.
44:46But I would say 70% of our work is mental.
44:51Number 12.
44:52What was that?
44:54As a DS, we are watching every moment.
44:56Go into the med centre.
44:58Because if you push somebody to breaking point mentally, it's very hard to recover.
45:03Some people need to be saved from themselves.
45:14Coming off my feet.
45:18Right.
45:19Just so you know, we've got your eyes on you and we're just a bit worried.
45:22OK?
45:23You're doing hard tasks every day.
45:26You're being pushed physically, mentally.
45:28And that's what we just need to keep on top of.
45:31OK?
45:33OK.
45:34All right.
45:38If you want to chat about anything, I'm here just now.
45:42Look, I don't...
45:43I don't even know what it says.
45:45It's like fucking uncontrollable.
45:49Take a breath.
45:51Now I can't fucking shut the door.
45:52OK.
45:53Yeah.
45:58It's spiraling now.
46:01And I know from this point, it's just gonna go...
46:05Fucking downhill.
46:14You're so out of proportion, you freak.
46:16The Special Forces is a crazy family.
46:19Danny, don't listen to me.
46:20Oi! I fucking know what I'm talking about!
46:23But if anybody tries to attack that family...
46:26No!
46:26Holy moly, we're all coming at you.
46:29It's gonna blow!
46:29And your own band to the DS.
46:31You are no longer on this course.
46:35The system is always off, you're second to the DS.
47:04That�� created our Biocsacebook.
47:05Although would be completely vegan, it'll simply come up, and I believe this.
47:05guys, will be in the finished one next week. Of
47:05You
