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.
00:16God!
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.
00:39Led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers.
00:44These celebrities are gonna get their ass kicked on this course.
00:47Let them blow!
00:48Let's go!
00:49We're gonna hit them hard.
00:50And we're gonna keep hitting them until we break them.
00:54Look out!
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 gonna ask.
01:11You can do it.
01:12You've got this.
01:13You've got to go somewhat.
01:21You've got to go, man.
01:23I've got to go with you.
01:31We're a little bit of secret.
01:36You've got to go with me.
01:37I'm not gonna go with you.
01:38You've got to make a mess.
01:40You've got to go.
01:42You've got to go.
01:49You're strong?
01:51That's no big deal.
01:53Nah, just stop.
02:06Every time I turned over in the night, something ached.
02:09Yeah, I don't feel good.
02:11Yeah.
02:13I have a secret for you all.
02:18Oh my God.
02:20You want to know how I feel?
02:22That's it.
02:36I don't think Ryan slept at all.
02:38Really?
02:39Yeah.
02:39The girls are saying here's pacing up and back.
02:44That's not good.
02:45No.
02:52I'm mentally spiralling.
02:54I can't remember if I've taken my medication twice or not.
03:01I can't remember what happened to my knife and fork.
03:04Do you feel the worst you've felt in a little while?
03:07Oh, this is uncontrollable.
03:08All right, darling.
03:09It's all right.
03:10It's all right.
03:10Come here.
03:11Don't be silly.
03:12It's going to be fine.
03:13Yeah.
03:15Before I got diagnosed with ADHD, there was a lot of confusion as to my life and as to how
03:23I manage things and all the things that went through my head.
03:27My brain does not switch off.
03:29I could be absolutely dog tired and I cannot go to sleep.
03:3512 is not doing well.
03:37He's suffering.
03:39The DS call in course psychiatrist, Dr. Gareth, to discuss number 12's mental state.
03:47I was thinking, how can we help him?
03:49And I'm like, we can't really.
03:50Really?
03:50Because it's not like he's thinking that thing's wrong.
03:53He's got an actual issue.
03:54I think he hasn't got the tools available to him.
03:57Today's going to be chaotic.
03:59If he was to go further, it would ruin him.
04:01It could be detrimental.
04:02It could be detrimental.
04:03To his experience.
04:03Absolutely.
04:04He's more likely to go away with negative memories than positive.
04:08Good mental health in the special forces is imperative because the whole thing is hinged on your ability to operate
04:15under extreme mental pressure.
04:18Number 12.
04:19Yes.
04:20Let's go.
04:22Sometimes you've got to listen to the experts.
04:26Where are you at then?
04:31Well, I would love to be available for all of the challenge.
04:35I'd love to be there.
04:37Yeah.
04:41But, yeah, I am going to withdraw.
04:44Okay.
04:45I think it's the right move because ultimately this is just a course.
04:49Yeah.
04:50You've got the rest of your life to embrace.
04:53Oh, yeah.
04:55Let's have that.
04:56All right.
04:57But please hold your head high.
05:00You've been awesome.
05:02Thanks, man.
05:03No worries.
05:06Hello, darling.
05:08Hi.
05:08Hello, kids.
05:09Hi.
05:10How are you going?
05:11I bid you adieu.
05:12The things that I'll take away for the rest of my life are that I did something that I was
05:17scared of doing and I did it anyway.
05:21And now I can actually kind of go, this is me.
05:24I get this.
05:25This is, and it's fine.
05:26See you guys.
05:32Number 12, Ryan, is the seventh recruit to leave the course.
05:38Biting the dust, isn't they?
05:47Who's got the longest span or the widest span in swimming?
05:50Do you know?
05:51You?
05:52In Australia, I think, yeah.
05:54Is it you?
05:55Well, when I was swimming, yeah.
05:56Matt, do this next to Toby, back to back.
05:59Go on.
06:00Mine's long, but his is probably longer.
06:02Like, his ass is sitting on top of mine.
06:04So, he's an inch longer and yet two inches shorter.
06:08Yeah, you're so out of proportion, you freak.
06:11Get up, Brent!
06:13All right, let's go.
06:21Okay, this part of the course, you should really be coming together as a family.
06:25The military family we come from is closer than our own family.
06:29It's all about unity now.
06:31Wanting to take care of each other, wanting to win.
06:34Do you understand where I'm coming from?
06:36Yes, sir.
06:36Let's go!
06:45The Special Forces is a crazy family.
06:48We share everything together.
06:51All right.
06:52Someone's always being made fun of.
06:55Your legs that long, though, they just don't go over.
06:58The most important thing is, we all have a role to play within that family.
07:03We are all we got when we go to war.
07:05My legs are, like, really long.
07:07That's where I get my speed from.
07:09If anybody tries to attack that family, holy moly, we're all coming at you.
07:19I'm worried about my right hand.
07:20Oh, yeah?
07:21Mm-hmm.
07:22Just because I can't feel anything.
07:23Oh.
07:24I've never had it this bad since the day I finished playing cricket when it was awful.
07:33Recruits are being taken to a remote village.
07:38Let's go!
07:39Time is of the essence!
07:41Where the DS will push their teamwork skills to breaking point.
07:45Team Alpha on my left, Team Bravo on my right.
07:49Listen in.
07:50You have been watching and protecting the village behind us.
07:55However, the enemy know we're here.
07:57They're coming.
07:58So what we have to do is recover everything and get the hell out of Dodge.
08:02Do you understand that?
08:03Yes, staff.
08:04Let's go!
08:05Drop your burgers in the back.
08:07Let's go.
08:08In order to pass this task, the recruits have to get through the village,
08:13collect all the equipment, move with speed as a team,
08:17and get to an extraction point.
08:19If they're too slow, they will fail.
08:27Have a nice look left, yeah?
08:29Team Alpha is led by number seven.
08:32World Cup-winning rugby player, Ben.
08:35I would like to think I'm a clear communicator.
08:38It was one of my biggest strengths when I played rugby.
08:40And if your team can work together and perform,
08:43you're going to win the game.
08:46Eyes up everywhere.
08:47Leading Team Bravo,
08:49number 14 Olympic swimming champion, Mac.
08:53Mac, do you think it would be better to do it?
08:55A chain.
08:55Yeah, depending on what we've got.
08:57I was on the Australian swim team for nine consecutive years,
09:01went to two Olympics.
09:03I love pressure.
09:04I love it.
09:08Everybody out!
09:09Let's go!
09:11York is on the left-hand side.
09:12Go get it.
09:16We need to move!
09:18The net, the lot.
09:19Get a chain.
09:20Now in the hostile zone,
09:22teams must quickly load their vehicles.
09:25Hurry up!
09:26With kit weighing over 200 kilograms.
09:28Keep on lift.
09:30Get the fucking thing on there!
09:32You ready?
09:33Over here.
09:33Let's go!
09:34That's it, let's move, 14!
09:36The snap mission,
09:38where you've got to collect equipment
09:39in the middle of the day,
09:41inside a city,
09:42it's about the scariest thing you can imagine.
09:45Get a grip of your team, motivate.
09:47You're compromised.
09:49Everyone sees you coming.
09:50And you've got this much time to get off the X.
09:53An attack can come at any time,
09:57from any direction.
09:59I've been in.
09:59This is for two.
10:00Oh, no, one, one, one, one, one, one.
10:01I've got this, I've got this, I've got this, I've got this.
10:03But without leadership...
10:04Let's go!
10:05...and good communication,
10:07it can all fall apart.
10:08Keep the trap on your team.
10:10Number 14.
10:12Let's go!
10:12In the car!
10:14Alphara first to load their vehicle.
10:16Come on!
10:18In!
10:20Let's go!
10:21Go!
10:21Alphara, let's go, let's go, let's go!
10:23What's our status, Bravo?
10:25Let's go, let's go!
10:32Let's go!
10:33Let's go!
10:36Let's go!
10:37Let's go!
10:38Your vehicle's hit!
10:40With their vehicles now immobilized,
10:43the teams need an urgent plan B.
10:46No!
10:46No!
10:47All right, what are you gonna do?
10:49What are you gonna do?
10:51What are you gonna do?
11:02All right, what are you gonna do?
11:04What are you gonna do?
11:06Push!
11:06On a kit retrieval task,
11:09with their vehicles stalled by explosives,
11:12Push it!
11:13Push!
11:14Let's go!
11:16There's an alleyway!
11:17The leaders must now galvanize their teams...
11:20Look, we've got a hill!
11:21To push the three-ton vehicles
11:25to the extraction point...
11:26Fourteen!
11:28Someone's got a steer!
11:29Yes, sir, yes, sir.
11:30Get up there!
11:31On your high knees, I'm pushing your feet.
11:33As Alphara forge ahead...
11:35Keep pushing!
11:38Let's go, Fourteen!
11:40Struggling to lead Bravo
11:42is number 14, Mac.
11:45Fourteen!
11:46You're falling behind!
11:47In the world of Special Forces,
11:49as a family,
11:50as a unit,
11:52you need a strong leader.
11:54Ha!
11:54Go on, there we go!
11:55Keep going!
11:56That's where it's at!
11:57Because that's the only way to succeed.
12:00We're out there!
12:01Fourteen!
12:01Get good to this team!
12:03Get that kit moved!
12:04Let's go!
12:05Who are those that,
12:07under that stress,
12:08fall apart,
12:08and which recruits stand up
12:10and lead from the front?
12:12That's what we're looking for.
12:14It's a fucking fan
12:15and sorry for you, Senna!
12:17I'm not liking the leadership
12:18on this team!
12:19Team Alphara
12:20are now 15 meters in front.
12:23Stop!
12:24Hold it there!
12:26Whoa!
12:27Hold it there!
12:30Hold!
12:31All right, no, wait.
12:32The trucks are stuck on an incline.
12:34Let's go!
12:35Get the kit off!
12:36Get all the kit off!
12:37Let's move!
12:37Get off!
12:38The HLC is that way out of town!
12:41Come on, Alfa, let's go!
12:42Get off!
12:44Unable to move the trucks further.
12:46Let's go!
12:47You're getting fucking shot at!
12:49The teams must carry their kit
12:50to the end point.
12:52Under enemy fire.
12:54Get it moving!
12:55Get the momentum!
12:56When you're in an extremely stressful situation
12:59like getting shot at,
13:00it is a natural reaction
13:02to get tunnel vision.
13:05You're liable to do something
13:07that is unhelpful
13:09to the rest of the team
13:10and could actually end
13:12in your death
13:12or the death of others.
13:14Bring it back, Swanee!
13:16While number seven
13:17drives on Team Alphara.
13:19Bring the burkers!
13:20Yeah!
13:2214!
13:23Let's get it
13:23and fucking move forward!
13:25Bravo continue
13:27to lack direction.
13:29What's left behind?
13:30Yeah, yeah.
13:31I'm going.
13:3214!
13:33Why are you going backwards?
13:35Get that fucking kid forward!
13:38Am I a natural leader?
13:41I don't know
13:41if I'm any good
13:42at reading other people.
13:43Falling ahead!
13:44Early on in my swimming career,
13:45my coach used to get
13:46very frustrated
13:47that I wouldn't
13:49communicate enough.
13:5014!
13:51Get a hold of your team!
13:52I think in a team task,
13:53I'm happy to
13:54almost just be no fast
13:56and get the job done.
13:57All the way, 14.
13:58Get amongst your team.
13:59Yes, sir.
14:00We're going to have to jump in, Ben.
14:01Ben!
14:02We're going to have to jump!
14:03Ben!
14:06Dude,
14:07I can't fucking lift it!
14:08My arm's gone!
14:10Number six,
14:11Graham,
14:12is suffering
14:12with a flare-up
14:13of an old injury.
14:15Fucking hell.
14:18Get a grip
14:18of your team.
14:19Motivate.
14:20Motivate.
14:21Bravo!
14:22Come on!
14:22Let's go!
14:23Slowing alpha,
14:24but creating
14:25an opportunity
14:26for Bravo.
14:27Don't let down
14:28your team!
14:29They need you!
14:29Get in there!
14:30All the medals
14:31that I have
14:32on my chest,
14:33they're all there
14:34because I was successful
14:35with my team.
14:37Mac, Mac.
14:37Yeah?
14:38Let's just go to the
14:38pits, not me.
14:40It's going to suck
14:40regardless, Toby.
14:42As the team leader,
14:43it's up to you
14:44what goes right
14:45and what goes wrong
14:47on the mission.
14:48What's Toby doing?
14:49Come on, Toby.
14:50Jog.
14:51Jog it.
14:52Come on, Toby.
14:53He's on.
14:57Gentle stroll
14:58down the track!
15:00That's only
15:00someone shooting
15:01at us.
15:03Make sure you
15:04get a grip
15:04at number two.
15:05It's part of your
15:05team, number 14.
15:06You're the team leader.
15:07Don't let it
15:08fucking loaf on you.
15:10If one fails,
15:11the team fails.
15:13Wait, you ready?
15:13You're going to
15:14fuck this up,
15:15number six.
15:15We're not going
15:16to fuck you up.
15:16You are.
15:17You've got kits
15:17spread out all over the place.
15:19Danny, don't listen to me.
15:20Oi!
15:21Don't fucking say
15:22don't listen to me.
15:22I fucking know
15:23what I'm talking about.
15:24I know, sir.
15:25Sorry, sir.
15:26Let's go!
15:28This is what I want
15:28to see.
15:29This is good.
15:30Undeterred by an
15:31injured team member.
15:32You're nailing it now.
15:33Let's go.
15:36Alpha.
15:37Well done!
15:38A first to reach
15:39the extraction point.
15:41That was brilliant.
15:42Well done.
15:42Well done, yeah.
15:43Let's finish as a team.
15:44Let's finish strong.
15:45Yeah.
15:46Despite their team
15:47consisting of three Olympians.
15:51Down easy.
15:55Bravo.
15:56Come in a distant second.
16:00Okay.
16:01Team Alpha.
16:02Good effort.
16:03Well fucking done.
16:04Team Bravo.
16:05There's only three of you,
16:06but look at the fucking
16:07lump of you.
16:08This is BFI,
16:09brute force and ignorance.
16:10You've got it all.
16:11I'm talking to you,
16:11number two.
16:12I'm fucking over here.
16:14If you're not putting
16:14the effort in and moving
16:15at the speed you need to,
16:16you're a liability to
16:17yourself.
16:18That's the end of it.
16:21Fourteen.
16:22The only thing that was
16:23missing was clear
16:24leadership.
16:25All right?
16:26You worked as individuals
16:27instead of a team,
16:28and I believe that's why
16:29Alpha got to the objective
16:30first.
16:30So well done to Team Alpha.
16:32You passed.
16:33Team Bravo,
16:34you failed.
16:37Let's go!
16:44It's annoying that we
16:45failed that, you know?
16:47Toby was just quicker back.
16:48I think we would have been
16:49a lot closer to the other
16:50team.
16:51That really pissed me off.
17:00A team without leadership
17:02is a recipe for disaster.
17:06Because there is no one
17:08taking charge of an
17:10extremely stressful situation.
17:15If you're on one of these
17:16missions and you have a
17:17weak leader, the whole team
17:19falls apart and people
17:20start dying.
17:23Number 14!
17:27Concerned by his poor
17:28leadership...
17:29Stand there, put your
17:30hands on the wall.
17:31...the DS calling
17:31number 14, Mac.
17:37Fused to stand next to a
17:38Chinese...
17:39Yeah.
17:40Says something about
17:41baddest character.
17:42Number 14's a dark horse.
17:54We wanted to get you in
17:55because it's a chance for us
17:56to get to know number 14.
17:59In terms of leadership,
18:01you do lead by example.
18:02But I think,
18:03as with the task this
18:04morning,
18:05you failed badly
18:06because you didn't
18:07motivate your team.
18:09Why?
18:11Like a swimming team,
18:12it's a very different
18:13environment.
18:15Do you think it's a very
18:16individual sport?
18:18Yeah,
18:19I think so.
18:19I think it is individual.
18:21But at the end of the day,
18:22it's like just you standing
18:23at the end of the lane
18:24that has to actually
18:25get it done.
18:27Behind enemy lines,
18:28you've got to work
18:29as a family.
18:31In terms of leadership,
18:33you can give more
18:34and you're going to need
18:35to give more.
18:37You've got the ability
18:38to get round people.
18:39And I think trying now,
18:41as we move forward,
18:41be a bit more vocal in that.
18:43That's what we'll be
18:44looking for from yourself.
18:46We know you've won gold medals,
18:48but tell us what happened
18:49in South Korea.
18:532019,
18:54at the World Championships,
18:56I was racing a swimmer
18:58who had smashed
19:00a doping test
19:01with a hammer.
19:02And essentially,
19:03in the world of anti-doping,
19:04if you don't provide a sample,
19:05you're presumed guilty
19:06until you can prove
19:07your innocence.
19:08Should have been striked out,
19:09was under investigation,
19:11was still allowed to race.
19:12What country?
19:13It was from China.
19:15Okay.
19:16We raced,
19:18he won,
19:18I came second
19:20and I didn't want
19:21to share the podium
19:22with him.
19:23So I just stayed behind it.
19:27And then it got
19:28pretty hectic.
19:30Like the next day
19:31I woke up with
19:32750,000 hate comments
19:34on a single Instagram post.
19:38Oh.
19:39And then like things
19:40kept happening from that.
19:43Like what?
19:44Family being followed.
19:46Immediately after
19:48I spoke to my dad
19:49on the phone.
19:50His business had been hacked,
19:51the house had been broken into.
19:53That's like the only time
19:54he's ever raised
19:54his voice ever at me.
19:56The gist was
19:57you need to think
19:58of how your decisions
19:59impact other people.
20:01We had like shards
20:02of glass in the backyard pool
20:04so that if you put
20:05your hand into the filter
20:06to clean it out,
20:07you'd cut your hand up.
20:09Had a rice cooker
20:10or something explode
20:11in the bin of an apartment.
20:13Sounds like terrorism,
20:15doesn't it?
20:15Sounds like
20:15one step below IEDs.
20:18Yeah, it was intense.
20:19I've been told
20:20not to go to China.
20:21Wow.
20:22And it still happens.
20:23Three weeks ago
20:24I went to the market
20:25with my family
20:26and we just get followed
20:27and photos taken of us
20:28and just...
20:29Is there anything
20:30you'd change?
20:33No, I haven't changed anything.
20:35Because like,
20:35who else is going to
20:36do it
20:37and make a stand?
20:39Look,
20:40in terms of this course,
20:41you've got the courage
20:42and your convictions
20:43and that's you.
20:44You've got integrity
20:45but in the special forces
20:47you need to be a leader.
20:49It's going to be paramount
20:51because at the end of the day,
20:53if you make it
20:54to the end
20:54and you're stood out there
20:56on the parade square,
20:57we have to ask ourselves,
20:59are you
20:59the kind of man
21:01that we want next to us?
21:02So we've got to get to see you
21:04apply some of that
21:05command presence.
21:08God!
21:19Since 2019,
21:20I feel like my life
21:21has been threatened
21:22maybe more than
21:23the average person.
21:26There's just always
21:27an underlying level
21:29of anxiety
21:30which you just get used
21:31to living with.
21:33The stand
21:34that I took
21:35on anti-doping
21:35tested my resilience
21:37in a sense
21:38that it tested
21:38who I am
21:40and what I believed in
21:41and my values.
21:43I don't regret it.
21:44But now,
21:45I think
21:46I just want to live
21:47a normal life.
21:56I've got a fucked up story.
21:58Yeah, it hit me.
21:59After a tough morning...
22:01It's pretty gross.
22:02I don't mind.
22:03The recruits take the opportunity
22:05to unwind.
22:07I was on my period
22:08at the time,
22:09so me and my friend,
22:10we went riding
22:11at this creek.
22:12We were taking the horses in
22:14and swimming
22:14and blah, blah, blah.
22:15And then three days later
22:17from that,
22:18I'd had sex
22:19with my boyfriend.
22:20Didn't notice anything wrong.
22:22I start getting this
22:24like smell, right?
22:25Oh my God.
22:26So I can smell
22:27like a dead fish, right?
22:29Blah.
22:30Other people started
22:31noticing this smell too
22:33and I was like,
22:33fuck, where is this smell
22:34coming from?
22:35My mum was like,
22:36oh, fuck,
22:37the dog's anal gland
22:38like really stinks.
22:40You know when a dog
22:41gets really backed up
22:42and it has like,
22:43we call it like anal glands?
22:45Are you sure you want
22:45to go on with this story?
22:46Yeah, I'll continue.
22:48I don't want to.
22:48I'm too far in now.
22:50Okay, so
22:51went right up in there
22:53and there was a tampon
22:54stuck up there.
22:56Oh my God.
22:58I went in a dirty
22:59fucking creek,
23:00had sex.
23:01No.
23:01No, not in there.
23:02So it wasn't your tampon?
23:07Did you just forget
23:09you had the tampon?
23:10Yeah.
23:10Lucky I wasn't sick.
23:12Well, I think
23:12I feel sick now
23:13so I think we've all
23:14got toxic shock syndrome.
23:16Ah!
23:16Sorry.
23:20Number six.
23:22Called by Dr. Laura
23:23with a more pressing
23:25health concern.
23:26Have a seat.
23:27Is number six.
23:28Graham.
23:29I'm going to just
23:29check your strength,
23:30okay?
23:30Okay.
23:31Arms out.
23:33Fingers out
23:33nice and wide.
23:34Let me push you in.
23:36Fight against me.
23:38Push against me.
23:40Okay.
23:40Feels like there's nothing there.
23:41Have a seat back.
23:43Do you think Graham's all right?
23:45I think his arm's fucked.
23:47Yeah.
23:47So we know
23:48you've got
23:49the chronic problem
23:50from your cricketing career
23:51with that elbow, okay?
23:53You can't really feel at all
23:54and that nerve
23:56down the side here,
23:56your ulnar nerve,
23:57you can't feel that at all
23:58and you can't grasp anymore.
24:00No.
24:01I'm worried, okay?
24:04I will go and speak
24:05to the DS.
24:05Okay.
24:06All right?
24:06You stay here.
24:10Fucking hell.
24:12I had a career
24:13that I would never
24:15have believed
24:15that I was capable of.
24:18That's a part of my life
24:19that's gone.
24:21Maybe I am still
24:22desperately trying
24:23to find that fix.
24:31How are you doing?
24:32What's up?
24:33Listen, mate.
24:34You've fucking done great.
24:36It's a personal journey
24:37to everybody.
24:38Yeah.
24:38And I think
24:39the reasons you come for it,
24:40I think you've fulfilled them.
24:43Yeah.
24:43But
24:45from the advice
24:46from the doctor,
24:49I'm officially
24:49taking you off
24:51with a medical withdrawal.
24:54So
24:54I officially
24:56will have to
24:56take you on by right now.
25:02I played sport
25:02for a living
25:03so I accept
25:04the risks
25:04involved physically.
25:06You've done
25:06an amazing job.
25:07It's been amazing.
25:09It's been emotional.
25:10Fuck me.
25:11You can break people,
25:12can't you?
25:14And if your body
25:15breaks down,
25:16you can't do it.
25:17Everything died
25:18at that moment.
25:22Number six,
25:23Graham
25:24is the eighth recruit
25:25to leave the course.
25:31Get your bergens.
25:33Let's get going.
25:34All right.
25:34Run it out.
25:44Girls,
25:45just remember
25:45we're doing
25:46the same as the boys
25:47and we're fucking
25:47killing it.
25:48Yeah, we are.
25:50As people fall
25:51by the wayside,
25:52the realities
25:53of our world
25:54and people will die.
25:55They are your family.
25:56You have to compartmentalize
25:58that and keep going again.
25:59Keep pushing forward
26:00and believing
26:00in what you're doing.
26:01With recruit numbers
26:03reduced further.
26:04And now there's six.
26:06And now there's six.
26:08The DS increased
26:09the pressure.
26:10Let's go squad!
26:11With one of the most
26:12critical missions
26:13undertaken by special forces.
26:18Right, take your bergens off.
26:21Hostage rescue missions
26:22are the worst type
26:24of operation
26:25that you could go on.
26:27If we're called in,
26:28everything has gone
26:30to rat shit
26:30and we've got to go in
26:32and save someone's life.
26:33I personally have been
26:35on a hostage rescue mission
26:36and it is fucking petrifying.
26:38Within 20 seconds
26:39of landing
26:40on target,
26:41we had one guy dead
26:43shot through the head.
26:45You can feel fear
26:47coursing through your system,
26:49urging you
26:50to make the wrong move.
26:52But if you're successful,
26:54you can actually fucking say
26:56that you've saved
26:57someone's life.
27:01Let's go!
27:02Oh.
27:03You're shaking yourself.
27:03Yeah.
27:04You too?
27:04Yeah.
27:06First to attempt
27:07the hostage rescue.
27:08Number five, Gabby.
27:10And number 14, Mac.
27:13The pure nature of our job
27:14demands the right person
27:16with the right character.
27:18The training is designed
27:19to be as real
27:21and hard
27:22as possible.
27:23Our world is brutal
27:25and we don't have
27:25any room
27:26for weak links.
27:28You will
27:29have to want it
27:30because if you don't,
27:31you will be cold.
27:34Right,
27:35listen to me.
27:35You're part of a rescue team,
27:37okay?
27:38Last night,
27:39a courier got taken.
27:41He had the laptop
27:42with very secret codes on it.
27:45That is inside a pellet case
27:46and it's identified
27:47by a number
27:480-7-4-9.
27:490-7-4-9.
27:51What we do know
27:51about these terrorists,
27:52they're involved
27:53in chemical warfare,
27:54gas,
27:55and booby traps.
27:56You only got three minutes
27:57it's gonna blow.
27:57You understand?
27:58Yes, sir.
27:59Go on then,
27:59let's go!
28:02Recruits work together
28:04in pairs.
28:04Get in there!
28:05Let's go!
28:05What are you looking for?
28:06Get in there!
28:07With a time limit
28:08of just three minutes,
28:09Search!
28:12Get in search!
28:13Not only must they
28:14retrieve the laptop,
28:16Careful for booby traps.
28:17This is my case!
28:18This is my case!
28:23What's happening?
28:24What's happening?
28:24They must also find
28:26and rescue a civilian hostage,
28:2820 seconds!
28:31Come here,
28:31come here,
28:32Come on.
28:34Go!
28:34Go, go, go!
28:35And escape.
28:35Ten seconds!
28:37Before time runs out.
28:38Get the fuck out!
28:48Okay,
28:49what have we got here?
28:51You got the laptop,
28:52and you bought your sandwiches
28:53in case you weren't hungry,
28:54did we?
28:55Yeah.
28:55A bit chaotic.
28:56I was glad to see you didn't just panic
28:59and ran out the fucking door.
29:00You persevered,
29:02you found the hostage,
29:03so overall,
29:03good effort.
29:04It was a pass.
29:06This is awful.
29:08I might just fuck it off.
29:10What are you on about?
29:11I can't do it.
29:12Already reluctant
29:13to attempt the rescue
29:14for you is number four,
29:17Dani.
29:18Feeling really claustrophobic
29:20is what frightens me the most.
29:23Once I panic,
29:24I really panic quite quickly.
29:26I just don't feel strong enough
29:28to do that.
29:29To do what?
29:30Go, I don't want to be gassed.
29:33You've got a fucking gas mask.
29:35And I think you can't breathe
29:37before you put it on, can you?
29:38Yeah, you can.
29:39Oh.
29:40We're not suffocating you.
29:41I thought you wouldn't
29:41be able to breathe.
29:43You are overthinking things.
29:45You're second guessing
29:46something that's not even happened.
29:47That's a complete waste
29:48of your energy.
29:50Isn't it?
29:51Yeah.
29:52Right, four and seven.
29:53Let's go.
29:54Come on, let's go.
29:55Let's go, let's go.
29:56Follow me, follow me.
29:57Get in the balance.
29:58Come on.
29:59Check the rooms.
30:00Check the rooms.
30:01Check it.
30:01Get in, you're looking for.
30:02What are you looking for?
30:03Get in.
30:05Get in the mask.
30:06Get in.
30:07When civilians are held hostage,
30:09they can be used as pawns
30:11and as bargaining chips.
30:13And often they pay the worst price.
30:16I've got a face.
30:17Is that there?
30:18There is.
30:18That's not alive.
30:20Come on, let's search.
30:22And they're brutalized,
30:23tortured, and starved.
30:25Their only hope for survival
30:27is a rescue from special forces.
30:30Search!
30:30Everywhere!
30:32Come on.
30:33Here we go.
30:3430 seconds!
30:36I got it.
30:37It's 0759.
30:39Get out!
30:40That's fine.
30:41Search!
30:4320 seconds!
30:4615 seconds!
30:48It's going to blow!
30:4910, 9, 8, 7!
30:54It's going to blow!
30:57Fucking let's go!
31:01In there, you had three minutes.
31:03Systematic search almost turned into a fucking ransack,
31:06didn't it?
31:07You're turning beds upside down,
31:08which is making it fucking hard of yourself.
31:10All right?
31:11But you did do it.
31:12Well done.
31:13Fucking down to the end.
31:14Go.
31:15On me!
31:16Let's go!
31:16Quick as you can!
31:18So, I think you've done that.
31:20Come on!
31:21Hurry up!
31:23Take your time, man.
31:24Take your time.
31:25With both pairs having successfully saved a life.
31:28Come on, let's go!
31:29Next up, number two, Toby.
31:32And number 10, Emily.
31:34I love winning.
31:35It was my identity for so long.
31:39I've put so much pressure on myself
31:41to do a really good job of this.
31:43Come on, let's go!
31:44Those Olympic gold medals,
31:45those world championships,
31:46those world records,
31:47you wouldn't be able to get that
31:48if you didn't set high standards for yourself.
31:51Go!
31:51We've got a laptop.
31:53Laptop, yeah.
31:54Where's the laptop?
31:55We've got 30 fucking seconds already gone!
31:57You save him first or last?
31:59All right.
32:00Both recruits spot the hostage.
32:03What are we doing?
32:04What are we looking for?
32:05But decide to move on.
32:09Get some fucking urgency about you!
32:12I've struggled in the past with failure.
32:14It felt like you were trash.
32:17Only one fucking minute left!
32:20And that led to some really terrible habits
32:23for a long period of time.
32:28Zero, seven, four, nine.
32:31Fucking hurry up!
32:33The place is gonna blow!
32:34Whenever I'm faced with something
32:36that makes me anxious or afraid,
32:38I just tend to block out the noise.
32:41There's more than one fucking room!
32:44And I'm silent.
32:46I'm trying to digest what's in front of me.
32:4920 seconds!
32:52Get it, isn't it?
32:56Am I fucking talking to myself?
32:5910 seconds!
33:00And it's gonna fucking blow!
33:029, 8, 6, 4, 3,
33:10fucking get out!
33:12Ignoring DS Billy's warnings.
33:15It's gonna blow!
33:16The whole building is gonna blow!
33:182 and 10 continue their search.
33:21The whole building!
33:23Fuck you!
33:28Fucking stand there, face me!
33:31What was your mission?
33:32Going there and retrieve the laptop.
33:34How long did you have?
33:353 minutes.
33:35Why did you only have 3 minutes?
33:37Because it was gonna blow up.
33:38Did you hear the fucking countdown from me?
33:40Yes.
33:41Did you hear it?
33:42Yes, sir.
33:42So why did you ignore it?
33:44We didn't.
33:44We were looking for the laptop stuff.
33:45Oh, so you're just gonna stand there and get blown up by you?
33:48Why did you do it?
33:49Why did I look for the laptop?
33:50Because you told me to...
33:50Fuck off!
33:51Get down there!
33:52You failed!
33:53Get on my fucking side!
33:54You go with him!
33:57Like, what did we do wrong?
33:59Fucking fail.
34:00Fall in over here, on your squad.
34:03What happened?
34:04I got properly yelled at.
34:07Just went in there and just shat on the bed, really.
34:11I saw the hostage and I just...
34:13I was so focused on the fucking laptop.
34:15I totally forgot the hostage thing.
34:17It's just one of those ones where you think you should pass.
34:23The ultimate goal in the Special Forces is to stop suffering and preserve life.
34:29If you cannot follow simple instructions and pay attention to detail,
34:34you are a liability to yourself and particularly to the mission and the rest of the team.
34:42It's just a good thing.
34:42Ten and two.
34:44Disaster.
34:44Not interested.
34:45I fucking ruined it for number ten, if I'm not.
34:48It just turned into a walk.
34:50Number ten.
34:51She's seen the hostage.
34:52Started to walk towards another point.
34:54I reminded them.
34:55The building's got to be searched.
34:57Two turned around and walked to the door like he's delivering the fucking newspaper.
35:01No sense of urgency.
35:02No.
35:02And she followed without the hostage.
35:08She let herself down.
35:09Well, it's difficult when you're going to fucking him
35:12to drag around as a piece of dead wood.
35:14It was fucking disappointing, mate.
35:17Quickly, then, let's go.
35:18That's your camp.
35:20As I tell you every morning, it's going to get harder.
35:24It's going to get ramped up.
35:25And I've told you what we're looking for.
35:27We're looking for 100% effort.
35:30Clear?
35:31Yes, sir.
35:31That's what I said, right?
35:32Yes, sir.
35:33And I also told you it's about being a family.
35:35It's about working together, being a unit.
35:38I've told you we are stepping into a new phase.
35:42And we are not taking anybody that doesn't need to be with us.
35:47If somebody cannot remain focused, they're no use to us.
35:54And then they get weeded out.
35:57They are part of your family.
35:59But they have to go.
36:01It's as simple as that.
36:25It's been a pleasure, guys.
36:27I hope you guys do the best you've been here.
36:29It's been a pleasure, guys.
36:30It's been a pleasure, guys.
36:30It's been a pleasure, guys.
36:31It's been a pleasure, guys, as well.
36:31Thank you very much, guys.
36:32Yes, sir.
36:33In the Special Forces, anybody who's not pulling the weight will become a liability.
36:39We're trying to give these recruits the most realistic scenarios and training we can.
36:44If they don't want to take this serious, then we will call them off this course.
36:48That's the fastest he's run.
36:50Yeah, for the whole course.
36:52Number two, Toby, is the ninth recruit to leave selection.
36:58Now, just five remain.
37:03Fuck me.
37:04I've done everyone.
37:05Cold, just like that.
37:06I've done you two.
37:07I've done everyone.
37:11I didn't help the situation, that's for sure.
37:16I could have done more.
37:22Honestly, the first two days seemed fucking easy compared to this shit.
37:26Yeah.
37:28The first two days were a walk in the park.
37:31I'm hanging on by a thread, I feel.
37:34Just pissed off, you know?
37:36Come on, we're fucking strong women.
37:39Yeah, no, I know that.
37:40You're a strong, independent woman.
37:44OK, Chris, could you do the honours, please?
37:48OK, task two then, 14 and five.
37:51It was a pretty good pass, to be honest.
37:53Four and seven, they went with speed.
37:56It was the best one of the day.
37:58Ten and two, it was absolutely diabolical, and I mean diabolical.
38:02Disappointed more from number ten at this point because she should have broke away,
38:05made a difference, but she didn't.
38:06And I think it's worth having a chance to what's inside her head.
38:16Number ten!
38:24All right, all the way to me, ten.
38:29After her failure in the hostage rescue task, the DS want to speak to number ten, Emily.
38:48How are you feeling?
38:51Tired.
38:54Sorry, Sam.
38:58Crikey.
38:59We haven't even said anything.
39:01I know.
39:02How do you think you're doing?
39:05Average.
39:07Why do you say that?
39:10I just feel like I'm...
39:14...at the back.
39:16Nat to us today is a poor show all round, that one.
39:19We want to see someone that can bounce back from failure.
39:23Shouldn't you pass everything?
39:25It's impossible.
39:26Have you won everything?
39:28No.
39:29What did that make you?
39:31Hungry?
39:32Yeah.
39:32Good to go again?
39:33Yeah.
39:34You win everything, you expect to win everything, you become fucking complacent.
39:38Yeah.
39:39How many Olympics did you do?
39:41I did four.
39:42What was the first one?
39:43Beijing in 2008.
39:44Mm-hmm.
39:45I was part of the relay team that won gold and we broke the world record there, so that
39:50was pretty cool.
39:50And your first Olympic?
39:51Yes.
39:51I was only 16, and then second Olympics came around, 2012, and I was pretty much expected
40:00to win gold, but then sort of choked it by getting too nervous, and ended up coming
40:05second.
40:06How did that feel?
40:07Sort of shitty, because you want to win gold, right?
40:11Like, that's our goal.
40:13I've spoke to a lot of athletes and there's a lot of pain and fucking darkness and horrible
40:19stuff goes on in between all that training and all that work.
40:22Yeah.
40:24There is, like, a lot of stuff that happens behind the scenes that people don't know.
40:31Found myself losing a lot of weight.
40:33It then went to how many days I could go without food, still training.
40:39Right.
40:40After that it was, like, binging and then puking it up because it was the guilt.
40:45It's always been tough enough and, like, keep going, don't stop.
40:51But there's a point where you need help.
40:54Mm.
40:56And why didn't you reach out for help?
40:57Why couldn't you?
40:59Because I don't like the feeling of being weak.
41:04There's a time and a place to suck things up and grizz it out.
41:08Yeah.
41:09But then you've got to know when to let the pressure out, yeah?
41:12Yeah.
41:14What are you here to prove, though?
41:16Um, I know it shouldn't be male and female, but...
41:20Like, I want to be a strong woman that could finish this course.
41:24And, like, I like seeing the males drop off, to be honest.
41:29Is that like you get power from it?
41:31Yeah.
41:31If I can live on it.
41:33The fucking Black Widow.
41:35We want to see you step up.
41:37Yeah.
41:37Whatever that looks like.
41:39Leadership.
41:40Character.
41:41Whatever it may be.
41:43Yeah.
41:43Okay.
41:43Alright?
41:45God!
42:00I like her.
42:02I do blame the pressure put upon me for a lot of it.
42:07Because I don't think my eating disorder would have started if I didn't have that encouragement of,
42:13hey, you can go a world record if you just get down to a certain weight.
42:22I feel sad that I put myself through that, for sure.
42:27But I think it's only just made me more strong and more resilient.
42:35You alright?
42:38Interrogated?
42:39Yeah.
42:40Emily.
42:41Can you sit here?
42:42Yeah.
42:44How are you going?
42:46Alright.
42:47Not amazing.
42:54That is fucked up.
42:56It's the rations.
43:06Everybody, Norbergans, in the canteen.
43:11After a gruelling day and three more of their number lost, the DS have one last exercise for the recruits.
43:19The Special Forces community is like a big family.
43:24You've finished selection and you are made to feel a huge part of that family.
43:29This is going to be a great opportunity for you to bond even further.
43:37Hey, babe.
43:38How are you?
43:40I miss you.
43:41Come home already.
43:42I have no doubt you've lapped up every little minute of this unbelievable experience.
43:47As always, I'm so proud of you.
43:50I love you.
43:51And she's wearing my jumper, as always.
43:53Always takes my jumper.
43:57When you're working under extreme pressure, to know about the other person that's next to you, who their loved ones
44:04are back home.
44:06Ben, mate, you were absolutely built to do this.
44:10It gives you another reason to fight on.
44:12Hiya, Gabs.
44:14Just wanted to let you know how proud me and my mum are of you.
44:17G'day, Emily. It's Dad here.
44:20The more you feel that those people you're with are part of your unit, part of your family, there's an
44:26amazing feeling that comes from that.
44:28I'm proud that you're challenging yourself.
44:31Mentally, but physically, especially at your age.
44:34Keep going, mate.
44:36Love you.
44:37Love you, mate.
44:39I hope you're competing well. I'm sure you would be, because you're a really tough competitor.
44:44Good luck for the rest of it.
44:45I'm sure you're absolutely smashing it. You're probably in the depths of pain right now.
44:49But I know how mentally and physically strong you are.
44:52We love you so much.
44:54Mwah!
44:54Aww.
45:01And I'm not beautiful.
45:03I need to remind you that you're fucking amazing.
45:08Charismatic. Brave.
45:10All them things, because I know it tends to slip your mind a little bit, doesn't it?
45:16Mm-hmm.
45:16I swear you can't be my kid, to be fair of the fact that you, you know, you've got the
45:20bollocks to go through with it.
45:23And I'm just here to remind you, you fucking got this.
45:27Get it done.
45:28Don't take no shit off none of them fuckers, either.
45:31Okay?
45:32We're all so proud of you.
45:33And I'll see you when you get home.
45:35Aww.
45:36That's amazing.
45:42Like a family.
45:44You might fall out.
45:45There might be arguments.
45:47But when the chips are down, you'll still step up to the plate, you'll still get amongst it, because you
45:51love those people.
45:53Did the lights change?
45:57Just wanted to see if it worked.
45:59It didn't.
46:00Shall we try it again?
46:01Three, two, one.
46:04Nope.
46:08Yay.
46:11Good night, everyone.
46:12Good night.
46:13Good night.
46:14Good night, guys.
46:17Next time.
46:19Where are you going?
46:21You're like a baby in a doorway.
46:23I don't know if I can do it.
46:24We're not tucking our pants, mate.
46:26Human emotions are the most powerful thing that we possess.
46:29But they're the most difficult to control.
46:33Everything you've got to have a fucking takeout.
46:35Go!
46:36You must compartmentalize fear and get on with it.
46:39Ugh!
46:40Jesus!
47:12For me, God
47:13You're gonna be somebody, you should float!
47:14You should've either been one of them.
47:15You'd be a teacher!
