00:25Who are you?
00:27Me?
00:28Yeah?
00:30My name is...
00:33Are you trying to think up a fake name?
00:35No.
00:36Well, it seems like you are.
00:37Well, I'm not.
00:38Okay?
00:40My name...
00:43is...
00:45Michael Riviera.
00:48Michael Riviera?
00:49Mm-hmm.
00:50Is that your real name?
00:51No.
00:51Well, what's your real name?
00:53Michael Brown.
00:54Yeah, Riviera's a lot cooler.
00:55Yeah.
00:56I'm going to write down Brown though, because this is an official government document.
01:00Okay.
01:01So you want to be a spy?
01:03Yes.
01:04Correct.
01:05Second question.
01:06How many stairs did you walk up to get to this office?
01:09I took the elevator.
01:10Good move.
01:11Preserve your energy.
01:12Next question.
01:13How many buttons on my shirt?
01:16I don't know.
01:17I didn't think I'd get asked that.
01:18You can count them.
01:19This is a counting test.
01:20It's not an observation thing.
01:21Oh, okay.
01:22Yeah.
01:22Seven.
01:23Well...
01:23One at the top.
01:25Two, three, four, five, six...
01:28Seven.
01:28Yeah, I can't tell because you're tucked in.
01:31Seven.
01:32Seven.
01:33Seven buttons.
01:34Yeah, that's correct.
01:35Seven, yeah.
01:36Okay.
01:36Do you want to count mine?
01:38No.
01:39I'm kind of like the boss here, so...
01:41I don't need to count them.
01:42No, of course.
01:43I've got good news, Michael.
01:44There are five spots and only three applicants.
01:48So...
01:51You're in.
01:51Yes!
01:52Thank you, sir.
01:53You won't regret this.
01:54Yeah, I know.
01:55There's only three applicants, so I can't regret it.
01:57It was out of my hands.
02:04Good news?
02:05Well, let's just put it this way.
02:08It was good news.
02:09Of course it was good news.
02:11There were only three applicants.
02:12Congratulations.
02:13Good luck in there, guys.
02:14I'm sure you'll do great.
02:16We will do great, because there are only three applicants.
02:18Well, I hope to see you both at training camp on Monday.
02:21You will, because there are only three applicants.
02:27I'll cross my fingers for you.
02:28Well, there's no need.
02:29I'll have them crossed.
02:30I wish you wouldn't.
02:33Welcome to training camp.
02:36Today marks the start of the hardest two weeks of your life.
02:39Two weeks?
02:40What's the matter if affairs are too short?
02:41Yeah.
02:42In most countries, to become a spy, it would take years.
02:44I don't know what to tell you.
02:47Oh, it's fine.
02:48Continue.
02:49Okay.
02:50So, first, I would like each of you to step forward, say your name, say where you're from,
02:55and then something interesting.
02:56Let's start with you.
02:59My name's Michael Anderson.
03:00I'm from Christchurch.
03:02And, oh, something interesting about me is that my father is Todd Anderson.
03:06You're Anderson.
03:06Correct.
03:07Wow.
03:08That's awesome.
03:08Yeah.
03:09I mean, he's one of the best spies we've ever had here.
03:11Yeah.
03:11He's a legend, right?
03:12You know what?
03:12That is an honor to meet you.
03:13Thanks.
03:14It's a joy of telling people that I'm his son.
03:16So, next.
03:17Um, the woman.
03:20My name is Sue Nightingale.
03:22I'm from Wellington, and I speak four languages.
03:25Which four?
03:26French, Spanish, Japanese, and English.
03:29French.
03:30Bonjour.
03:30Je m'appelle Michael.
03:32Je sais, idiote.
03:33Tu viens de dire ça prendre un comprendre.
03:35Very cool.

03:41You.
03:43My name is Michael Riviera.
03:46I'm from Nelson.
03:51And...
03:55Uh, something interesting.
03:59Uh, anything?
04:01What is your favorite movie?
04:04I can't think of a movie.
04:05Uh, do you have any pets?
04:07I don't know.
04:08How could you not know that?
04:09Do you like sports?
04:10I'm not sure.
04:11What?
04:12Anything.
04:13I can speak four languages.
04:15It's my one.
04:16You just stole her one.
04:17My dad is Todd Anderson.
04:18No, he's my dad, you piece of shit.
04:20Stop stealing our ones.
04:21I'm sorry.
04:21I don't know what's going on.
04:22Okay.
04:23Well, it seems like you are having some kind of mental problem.
04:27I'm sorry, guys.
04:28I didn't mean to steal your ones.
04:29I just...
04:30I couldn't think of anything interesting.
04:31Well, that...
04:32That is kind of interesting.
04:34It's not really.
04:35But, um, we should begin.
04:37Let's get...
04:38Smiling!
04:41Too late to tell me I can build the world two one.
04:48Too far, too far away from the old school.
04:54Show me just what I can do with a lover's trial.
05:02You're back with me too.
05:04What's chasing the end?
05:07Ooh.
05:08Ooh, ooh, ooh.
05:09What's chasing the end?
05:09Jason, yeah.
05:16Dear diary,
05:17I'm one week into my training to become a professional spy.
05:22My fitness is now at an all-time high,
05:24and I'm very much enjoying my time here.
05:28I'm making friends and memories that will last a lifetime.
05:30Shut the head up!
05:33Sorry, I thought you were asleep.
05:35I was! You woke me up with your loud talking.
05:37I was just writing my diary.
05:38I know what you were writing because you were saying it out loud as you were writing it.
05:42Just write it down.
05:43You don't need to also say it out loud.
05:45Sorry, it's just my diary.
05:47He knows it's your diary, Michael.
05:49You said dear diary.
05:51Diary's not the problem.
05:52It's the fact that you're saying it out loud as you write it.
05:54I'm sorry, guys.
05:55I didn't mean to upset you.
05:56I just...
05:57I just love my diary.
06:00It's okay.
06:01I'm just glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself
06:03because I try to make the training as fun as possible.
06:06Oh, it's been so fun.
06:07It has been really fun, Danion.
06:08It's been fun.
06:09I admit it.
06:10It's been really fun.
06:11But right now, it's 3am and I want to go to sleep.
06:14Jeez, psych it out.
06:15I'm sleeping in the common room.
06:16Oh, fun. I'll come.
06:18Oh, fun.
06:19Firstly, thank the Danion for running a bloody great course.
06:23Thank you, Danion.
06:24Michael, Sue, Michael, good news.
06:27You will pass.
06:29Congrats.
06:31But not all of you can graduate top of the class.
06:33This year's recipient of the Todd Anderson,
06:36top of the class meat pack,
06:39is Michael.
06:40Yes.
06:41Anderson.
06:42Shit.
06:42My man.
06:47Where are you going, Michael?
06:48Sit back down, please.
07:01Oh, close.
07:04Sorry.
07:05That's okay.
07:14Unlucky.
07:15He's ready to see you if you want to get on through.
07:19One sec.
07:20Okay.
07:26Ah, damn it.
07:28Ah.
07:37Hello.
07:38Hello.
07:39Isabel, I was wondering,
07:41do you have any plans this evening?
07:43No, I don't think so.
07:44Well, I was wondering
07:46if you would like to go see a movie with me tonight.
07:50Oh.
07:51Oh, man.
07:52That sounds really fun.
07:54But I have a boyfriend,
07:55and he might...
07:57Really good.
07:58Huh?
07:59Really, really good.
08:00What do you mean?
08:01He sounds amazing.
08:02I'm jealous.
08:03Not of him, of you.
08:05He really sounds like boyfriend material.
08:07Listen, I already bought the tickets.
08:09I want you to take this boyfriend
08:11that I've been hearing so much about
08:13and show him a good time.
08:14I already saw the movie last night.
08:16I was checking to see if it's good.
08:18Trust me.
08:18It is.
08:19You'll love it.
08:20From your pal, Michael,
08:23I've got to go to a meeting now.
08:27Take a look at this.
08:31What am I looking at?
08:32This is a photograph of Norman White.
08:35Okay, so either the flash on the camera
08:36is way too bright
08:37or this photo is way overexposed.
08:40Turn it over.
08:41Okay, I see what you're saying.
08:43He's the third richest man in New Zealand.
08:44Born in Australia, moved here as a teenager.
08:46Now he owns an agricultural supplies empire.
08:49The man on his right is Dennis Green.
08:51I don't know who that is.
08:52He's the head of the AIS.
08:53Ah, okay.
08:54Do you know what that stands for?
08:56Yeah.
08:56What does it stand for?
08:57Huh?
08:57What does it stand for?
08:59AIS.
09:00Mm-hmm.
09:04Amazing.
09:05It's the Australian Intelligence Service.
09:06Okay.
09:06In what world, Michael,
09:08does A stand for amazing?
09:09Sorry, I was confused.
09:10Well, I was confused
09:11when two days ago
09:12I received the next photo.
09:15So, this photo is backwards,
09:16so I'll just turn it over again.
09:17Turn it over again.
09:18Yes.
09:20That's Dennis Green
09:20arriving at the Queenstown Airport
09:22three days ago.
09:23Take a look at the next photo.
09:25It's white again.
09:26Just joking.
09:27It's just backwards.
09:27You just turn it over.
09:29That is a house
09:30owned by Norman White
09:31just out of Queenstown.
09:33We believe Dennis Green
09:34may be staying at the house.
09:35Well, what's the head
09:36of the Amazing Australian
09:37Intelligence Service
09:38doing it in Queenstown?
09:39Amazing is not part of it.
09:41But that is exactly
09:42what we want you to find out.

14:455 a.m.
14:46Can we just use normal time?
14:47Sure.
14:48Misty will pick us up at 5 a.m.
14:50I just really struggle with 24-hour time.
14:52That's fine.
14:53Totally fine.
14:54As I was saying,
14:55the three of us will be picked up at 5 a.m.

15:30We'll park up at a viewpoint,
15:31and from there,
15:33the two of you will take off on your skis.
15:36It'll take you 20 minutes
15:38to reach the valley where the house is.
15:42Anderson,
15:42you'll set up camp somewhere
15:44with a good view of the house.
15:47And then, Michael?
15:49You're on your own.
15:51Enter the house and find anything you can.
15:53We need to find out
15:54what the Australians are doing in New Zealand.
16:12Oh, you okay?
16:14Yeah.

16:19I think you found one.
16:20It's okay.
16:21I think...
16:21Are you okay, mate?
16:22I'm all good.
16:23Just get these back on,
16:24and I'll be...
16:25I'll be off.

16:31I...
16:32I...
16:32I don't want anyone to ask.
16:46Hey, num nuts.
16:47There's a guard on you
16:48in like five seconds.
16:53Who are you talking to?
16:55You num nuts.
16:55Is this what you hit against the wall?
16:57Oh, no, actually.
16:58Because I heard him coming.
16:59Because he said num nuts,
17:00so I assumed he were talking to me.
17:01Can you guys please shut up?
17:03Anderson?
17:04Can you see any open windows?
17:08There's actually a door open on the balcony.
17:10Michael, can you climb up to the balcony?
17:13I can try.
17:14There's a ladder.
17:24I'm in.
17:25What do you think?
17:26I think I'm in the bedroom.
17:27Is there a bed in the room?
17:29Yeah.
17:30Then, yeah, I'm pretty sure you're in a bedroom.
17:32Shut up.
17:34I'm in the lookout, but...
17:35Okay.
17:39Anderson?
17:40Anderson, don't shut up.
17:45No, I do want him to shut up.
17:51You need a lookout.
17:52This is so dangerous.
17:53Sorry.
17:54That's okay.
18:00Is that a hundred?
18:01Is that a hundred?
18:02Is that clear?
18:03Right.

18:07Swarun Danara.
18:09Foreign minister of India.
18:11He's arriving in Christchurch tomorrow

19:24He's running out of the house,
19:26but he's being chased.

19:36He's back on the move,
19:37but he's got company.
