00:00It is time. These four strangers have only just met, but they have one mission, to defeat the Chaser.
00:06They'll have to work together to succeed. Will they make it on their own, or will they add a surge
00:11of firepower to boost their game?
00:13The moment of truth is here. The Chase is on.
00:25Hello there. Welcome to The Chase Australia, everybody.
00:27So, who are these four brave contenders taking on tonight's Chaser? Let's meet them.
00:32Hey, I'm Sinclair, and I like to rock out with my band.
00:35Hi, I'm Tim, and in two weeks' time, I'm moving to Colombia.
00:39I'm Nina, and if I'm not home, I'm probably in Bali.
00:43I'm Bridget. My family and I have just swapped City Lights for Starry Nights.
00:47Oh, what a team! But standing between them and the cash is The Chase.
00:51Now, if they get caught, the money is gone, and so are they.
00:54But if they make it through, they could share in a huge cash prize.
00:58Now, everyone must face The Chaser, and tonight, Sinclair's first up.
01:05Hey, Sinclair, welcome to the show.
01:06Hey, it's great to be here.
01:07Nice to see you. How's the band going?
01:09It's going well, yeah. Kingdom Calm is the name of the band.
01:12Kingdom Calm.
01:13That's C-A-L-M.
01:14Have you worn a mankini on stage? Is that serious?
01:16Yeah, I wore a mankini. I dressed up as Borat for a Halloween gig.
01:20Yeah.
01:20And, yeah, let it all hang out.
01:24Okay.
01:24I reckon that would be frightening up on stage at that level wearing a mankini.
01:29It was. It was quite frightening.
01:31I had a friend who was a spotter in the crowd,
01:33so he was going to let me know if anything went wrong.
01:37All right.
01:38I'll be that guy for you tonight, okay?
01:39If anything bad happens to you.
01:41Hey, what do you want to do with some money if you win?
01:42Probably a honeymoon.
01:44I'll probably propose soon, and then we'll go somewhere nice.
01:48I'll probably put some in the band as well.
01:49So, there goes the big surprise.
01:52I've got to put pressure on myself.
01:54All right. Best of luck to you.

03:12No mate, $16,000 is terrific.
03:13Yeah.
03:13But we've got to get it past the chase and we'll find out who it is right after the break.
03:17Good stuff.
03:17That's a great start.
03:31Welcome back.
03:32This is Sinclair.
03:33$16,000 and a cash builder.
03:35More importantly, you've just put a clock, a timer on the fact that you must now propose
03:39to your girlfriend.

03:58Professor.
03:59He's got the fax, the outfit and the resting you're wrong face.
04:04Shark.
04:04Don't be fooled.
04:05He's no fish out of water.
04:08Goliath.
04:09You think he's annoying on the show.
04:11Try standing behind him in a group photo.
04:13Or Smiling Assassin.
04:15Every flick of the hair means she's one step closer to your defeat.
04:19Here we go.
04:20Release the chaser.
04:25Here comes Sharky.
04:34G'day Sinclair.
04:35G'day.
04:35How's it going?
04:36I'm well, thanks.
04:37Now, when you say to people that you wore a mankini out in public, you don't have to
04:41then add, I was doing a Borat impression.
04:43We just assume that.
04:45And also, if, as you said, you were letting it all hang out, I think you had it on backwards.
04:50Yeah.
04:50Quite possibly.
04:52From our fashionista.
04:53Hello, Brydon.
04:53Hello, Larry.
04:54Here's your money on the board right now.
04:56Well done on that cash builder.
04:57$16,000.
04:58Low offer.
04:59$2,000.
05:00Okay.
05:00So, here's your top offer now.
05:01Alright.
05:01That was a very good cash builder, so consider this.
05:04$45,000.
05:07Now, if you take the top offer, Sharky really wants you to do that, he will do the rest
05:12of the show in a Borat outfit.
05:15Guaranteed?
05:16Well, no one else wants that to happen, so I don't know.
05:19I think I probably would have said yes at $50,000, but I'm just going to stick with the
05:24$16,000.
05:25Just not good enough for you?
05:26Not good enough.
05:27Lose the $2,000, lose the $45,000.
05:29And for $16,000, the chase is on.
05:34Here's your first question.
05:35Good luck.

05:47Google.
05:49Got it?
05:50Yeah.
05:51Good start.
05:51What'd you go with?
05:52I'm guessing it's, let me Google to find out, or to something for you.
05:59Okay.
05:59Let me Google that for you.
06:00Okay.
06:01Locked in Google.
06:02Correct answer is?
06:05Google is good.
06:06Money moves.
06:06Chaser has locked in.
06:10Google.
06:11Yeah, and if you're not 100% sure, let me Google that for you.
06:13Yeah.
06:14That's what I thought he was saying when he was giving me the answer.
06:17Okay.
06:17Question now.

06:30Smiley.
06:31C.
06:31Lazy.
06:35What do you reckon?
06:38Uh, I think it might be lazy.
06:41But I really don't know.
06:42Could also be Smiley.
06:44But I'd look pretty stupid if it was lazy and I didn't pick lazy, so I just went with
06:49that.
06:49Okay.
06:50Locked in lazy.
06:51Correct answer is?
06:54Lazy is good.
06:55Money moves.
06:56Chaser locked in.
07:00Lazy.
07:01It's always good reason to go for an answer.
07:03It's the one that won't make you look stupid.
07:04Was it the same for you?
07:05Pretty much.
07:06Yeah.

07:22OzHarvest.
07:23OzFeast.
07:24OzGrown.
07:26Yeah, I've seen only one of them and that's OzHarvest, so I thought that's probably the best
07:31one to go with.
07:32Locked in OzHarvest.
07:33Correct answer is?
07:36An incredible work that they do at OzHarvest.
07:39Chaser locked in.

08:52What have you done?
08:53I chose New Hampshire.
08:55I know that whole area is New England.
08:58I'm pretty sure Maine is part of that.
09:01So, yeah, in the top right of the US.
09:03Alright.

21:05$2,000.
21:06And your top offer?
21:08$40,000.
21:09Okay.
21:11I am a bit too scared to take the top offer.
21:13You're too good at what you do.

22:28565 k's an hour.
22:30What was it?
22:31I guessed golf ball.
22:33All tennis balls, they ace at, you know, 200 k's an hour, so it couldn't be tennis.
22:39But I don't know about shuttlecock, but anyway, I guessed golf ball.
22:42All right.
22:43Locked in golf ball.
22:43Correct answer is...
22:47Shuttlecock.
22:48Chase locked in.
22:53Shuttlecock.
22:54As soon as they come off the racket, they're extremely fast, but obviously because they've got the feathers, they slow

24:01Okay, what'd you go with?
24:01I went with C.
24:02Pure guess.
24:03Mezzo-soprano.
24:04Correct answer is...
24:09Soprano.
24:11Chaser locked in.
24:16Soprano.
24:16Yeah, mezzo sort of means middle, so it's kind of like more in the middle and just below
24:21soprano.
24:21Yeah.
24:23Yeah.
24:23It's the noise you make when you put your Borat costume on the wrong way.

24:53He's too close.
24:55Just another guess.
24:56What'd you go with?

25:55Sharky.
25:56Locked in.
25:59John F. Kennedy.
26:00Yeah, you wouldn't need 77,000 pages on the death of Jimmy Carter.
26:03You could do it in one sentence.
26:05He was a hundred.
26:06Yeah.
26:08It's a relatively short sentence.
26:09That's the reason he died.
26:11Yeah.

26:56Lucky to get away from you there.
26:57She's really happy about that.
26:58Yes.
26:59Personally, I use contour creating cream.
27:01That's why I've got the wrinkles.
27:02It's not because of age.
27:04Here comes Bridget next on the chase.
27:07Nina, well done.

27:53She wants to see the grandparents.
27:54How nice.
27:55Can you tell everybody about Paradise Lost, please?
27:58Oh, probably the last book that I really, really enjoyed.

28:02Not everybody's cup of tea.
28:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:0417th century English long poetry.
28:06But yeah, just the epic of the kind of creation of the world and the fall of the angels.

28:14And I love it to bits.
28:16It sounds very hard to follow.
28:19It can be.
28:20Set aside some time for sure.

38:10I mean 19 is very good
38:12I mean I still beat 19 sometimes
38:15If you really want to give yourself
38:17A very very good chance
38:19I'll offer you three more steps
38:21Take the score to 22
38:23It'll cost you $16,000
38:25So it'll take it down to 30
38:27Between the three of you
38:28Oh I'm just looking at your reaction in the face
38:31It's expensive
38:32But it puts you up to 22
38:35Have a think about it
38:35Talk it through
38:36What are you going to do?
38:37It would cost you $16,000
38:3922 is going to be hard for him to beat
38:4222 would be fairly hard
38:43But $16,000 is a lot to lose
38:47But $10,000 each
38:48Not bad
38:49Just remember that
38:50It might feel like you're giving up $16,000
