01:20Michael Riviera.
01:22Mm-hmm.
01:22Is that your real name?
01:23No.
01:24What's your real name?
01:25Michael Brown.
01:27Yeah, Riviera is a lot cooler.
01:28Yeah.
01:29I'm going to write down Brown though, because this is an official government document.
01:33Okay.
01:34So you want to be a spy?
01:36Yes.
01:37Correct.
01:38Second question.
01:39How many stairs did you walk up to get to this office?
01:42I took the elevator.
01:44Good move.
01:44Preserve your energy.
01:46Next question.
01:47How many buttons on my shirt?
01:49Oh, I don't know.
01:51I didn't think I'd get asked that.
01:52You can count them.
01:53This is a counting test.
01:54It's not an observation thing.
01:55Oh, okay.
01:56Yeah.
01:56Well, one at the top.
01:59Mm-hmm.
01:59Two, three, four, five, six.
02:02Seven.
02:02There you go.
02:03Yeah, I can't tell because you're tucked in.
02:06Seven.
02:07Seven.
02:07Seven buttons.
02:09Yeah, that's correct.
02:10Seven.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Okay.
02:11Do you want to count mine?
02:13No.
02:14I'm kind of like the boss here, so I don't need to count them.
02:17No, of course.
02:18I've got good news, Michael.
02:20There are five spots and only three applicants.
02:23So...
02:26You're in.
02:27Yes!
02:28Thank you, sir.
02:29You won't regret this.
02:30Yeah, I know.
02:31There's only three applicants, so I can't regret it because it was out of my hands.
02:41Good news?
02:42Well, let's just put it this way.
02:44It was good news.
02:46Of course it was good news.
02:47There were only three applicants.
02:49Congratulations.
02:50Good luck in there, guys.
02:51I'm sure you'll do great.
02:53We will do great because there are only three applicants.
02:55Well, I hope to see you both at training camp on Monday.
02:58You will because there are only three applicants.
03:04I'll cross my fingers for you.
03:05Well, there's no need.
03:07I'll have them crossed.
03:07I wish you wouldn't.
03:11Welcome to training camp.
03:13Today marks the start of the hardest two weeks of your life.
03:17Two weeks?
03:18What's the matter with that?
03:19Is it too short?
03:19Yeah.
03:20In most countries, to become a spy, it would take years.
03:23I don't know what to tell you.
03:25Well, it's fine.
03:27Continue.
03:27Okay.
03:28So, first, I would like each of you to step forward.
03:32Say your name.
03:33Say where you're from.
03:34And then something interesting.
03:35Let's start with you.
03:38My name's Michael Anderson.
03:39I'm from Christchurch.
03:41And, oh, something interesting about me is that my father is Todd Anderson.
03:45You're Ando's son?
03:46Correct.
03:46Wow, that's awesome.
03:48Yeah.
03:48I mean, he's one of the best spies we've ever had here.
03:51He's a legend, right?
03:51You know what?
03:52It is an honour to meet you.
03:53Thanks.
03:53I always enjoy telling people that I'm his son.
03:55So, next, um, the woman.
04:00My name is Sue Nightingale.
04:02I'm from Wellington, and I speak four languages.
04:05Which four?
04:06French, Spanish, Japanese, and English.
04:09French.
04:10Bonjour.
04:11Je m'appelle Michael.
04:12Je sais, idiot.
04:13Tu viens de dire ça prendre un entendre.
04:16Very cool.
04:18Very cool.
04:18Very cool.
04:19Well done.
04:20Okay.
04:21And you.
04:24My name is Michael Rivera.
04:27I'm from Nelson.
04:31And...
04:36Uh, something interesting.
04:41Uh, anything?
04:43What is your favourite movie?
04:46I can't think of a movie.
04:47Uh, do you have any pets?
04:50I don't know.
04:50How could you not know that?
04:52Do you like sports?
04:53I'm not sure.
04:54What?
04:54Anything.
04:55I can speak four languages.
04:57It's my one.
04:58You just stole her one.
04:59My dad is Todd Anderson.
05:01No, he's my dad, you piece of shit.
05:03Stop stealing our ones.
05:04I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on.
05:06Okay, well, it seems like you are having some kind of mental...
05:09...problem.
05:11I'm sorry, guys.
05:12I didn't mean to steal your ones.
05:13I just...
05:13I couldn't think of anything interesting.
05:15Well, that is kind of interesting.
05:17It's not really.
05:18But, um, we should begin.
05:21Let's get...
05:22...spying!
05:23Too late, too late to tell me I can build a world in the world.
05:32Too far, too far away from me.
05:36Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, show me just what I can do with loving Christ.
05:46Bend with me, too.
05:50What's chasing you?
05:52Ooh, ooh, ooh.
05:54What's chasing you?
05:57Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
06:04Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
06:06spy. My fitness is now at an all-time high and I'm very much enjoying my time
06:13here. I'm making friends and memories that will last a life...
06:17Shut the hell up!
06:19Sorry, I thought you were asleep.
06:21I was! You woke me up with your loud talking!
06:24I was just writing my diary.
06:25I know what you were writing because you were saying it out loud as you were writing it!
06:29Just write it down! You don't need to also say it out loud!
06:32Sorry, it's just my diary.
06:34He knows it's your diary, Michael. You said dear diary.
06:38The diary's not the problem, it's the fact that you're saying it out loud as you write it.
06:42I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to upset you. I just... I just love my diary.
06:48That's okay. I'm just glad to hear that you're enjoying yourself
06:51because I tried to make the training as fun as possible.
06:54Oh, it's been so fun.
06:55It has been really fun, Danyan.
06:57It's been fun! I admit it! It's been really fun!
07:00But right now, it's 3am and I want to go to sleep!
07:02Jeez, psych it out.
07:04I'm sleeping in the common room.
07:05Oh fun, I'll come.
07:06Oh, fun!
07:08Firstly, thanks to Danyan for running a bloody great course.
07:12Thank you, Danyan.
07:13Michael, Sue, Michael, good news. You all passed.
07:18Congrats.
07:20But not all of you can graduate top of the class.
07:23This year's recipient for the Todd Anderson top of the class meat pack is Michael.
07:30Yes!
07:31Anderson.
07:32Shit!
07:33My man!
07:38Where are you going, Michael? Sit back down, please.
07:53Ooh!
07:54Close!
07:56Sorry.
07:56That's okay.
08:06Unlucky.
08:07He's ready to see you if you want to get on through.
08:11One sec.
08:12Okay.
08:18Ah, damn it.
08:20Ah.
08:29Hello.
08:31Hello.
08:32Isabel, I was wondering, do you have any plans this evening?
08:36No, I don't think so.
08:38Well, I was wondering if you would like to go see a movie with me tonight.
08:45Oh, that sounds really fun, but I have a boyfriend and he might-
08:51Really good.
08:52Huh?
08:52Really, really good.
08:54What do you mean?
08:55He sounds amazing.
08:56I'm jealous.
08:58Not of him, of you.
08:59He really sounds like boyfriend material.
09:02Listen, I already bought the tickets.
09:04I want you to take this boyfriend that I've been hearing so much about and show him a good
09:08time.
09:09I already saw the movie last night.
09:11I was checking to see if it's good.
09:13Trust me.
09:13It is.
09:14You'll love it.
09:15From your pal, Michael.
09:18I gotta go to a meeting now.
09:22Take a look at this.
09:26What am I looking at?
09:28This is a photograph of Norman White.
09:31Okay, so either the flash on the camera is way too bright or this photo is way overexposed.
09:36Turn it over.
09:37Okay, I see what you're saying.
09:39He's the third richest man in New Zealand.
09:41Born in Australia, moved here as a teenager.
09:43Now he owns an agricultural supplies empire.
09:45The man on his right is Dennis Green.
09:47I don't know who that is.
09:49He's the head of the AIS.
09:50Ah, okay.
09:51Do you know what that stands for?
09:52Yeah.
09:53What does it stand for?
09:54Huh?
09:54What does it stand for?
09:56AIS?
09:57Mm-hmm.
10:01Amazing.
10:02It's the Australian Intelligence Service.
10:04Okay.
10:04In what world, Michael, does A stand for amazing?
10:06Sorry, I was confused.
10:08Well, I was confused when two days ago I received the next photo.
10:12So, this photo is backwards, so I'll just turn it over again.
10:16Turn it over again.
10:16Yes.
10:17That's Dennis Green, arriving at the Queenstown Airport three days ago.
10:21Take a look at the next photo.
10:24It's white again.
10:25Just joking.
10:25It's just backwards.
10:26Can you just turn it over?
10:27That is a house owned by Norman White, just out of Queenstown.
10:31We believe Dennis Green may be staying at the house.
10:34Well, what's the head of the Amazing Australian Intelligence Service doing in Queenstown?
10:38Amazing is not part of it.
10:40But that is exactly what we want you to find out.
10:42Our South Island officer will meet you at the hotel.
10:44You leave in two hours.
10:46Dress warm.
11:07Mr. Somerset.
11:09Welcome.
11:15Mr. Somerset.
11:16I trust you had an easy journey?
11:19Sorry.
11:20Wrong guy.
11:26No, I'm pretty sure you're the man I was sent here to meet.
11:29My name is Michael Rivera.
11:31That's not what you said.
11:35Michael, that's your alias.
11:37Did you have a look at the dossier?
11:38Big time.
11:40Big time.
11:40Yeah.
11:41That was a great read.
11:42Remind me of your name again.
11:44I'm Misty Atwood.
11:45I'm the agency's South Island division.
11:47Anytime you're on the South Island and you need anything, I'm your girl.
11:51My name is Michael Rivera, but you can call me just by my first name.
11:57Michael.
11:57Yeah.
11:58No one really calls me Michael Rivera in conversation.
12:01It's faster to just go Michael.
12:04Actually, while we're here, let's go with Simon Somerset if that's okay.
12:08Okay.
12:09That's what your reservation is under.
12:11Got it.
12:11Do you want to say it a few times?
12:13Just really get it in your bones?
12:15No.
12:16Trust me.
12:16I'm good with names.
12:18Okay.
12:18Well, I'll leave you to it then.
12:20Let me know if you need anything.
12:26It was lovely meeting you.
12:28You too.
12:30Bye.
12:31See ya.
12:38Welcome to Grand Remarkables Hotel, sir.
12:40Are you checking in?
12:41Yes, please.
12:42Great.
12:43Name?
12:46Your name, sir?
12:47My name.
12:48Yes.
12:50I'm not sure.
12:51You're not sure?
12:52No, I said I'm not Sean.
12:55As in, my name is not Sean.
12:57Okay.
12:58Well, we don't have any reservations under Sean.
13:02Good.
13:02Very good.
13:03Maybe, could you say some of the names that do have reservations?
13:08Sure.
13:09Jill Sharp, David Hennady, Simon Somerset.
13:12That's it.
13:13Simon Somerset.
13:15Okay.
13:15Great.
13:16And did Simon book the room for you?
13:18No.
13:18I'm Simon Somerset.
13:20You are Simon Somerset?
13:21Mm-hmm.
13:22Right.
13:23Well, you will be staying...
13:25My name is Simon Somerset.
13:29Great.
13:31Welcome to the hotel, Mr. Somerset.
13:32You will be staying in room 402.
13:35Simon Somerset, thanks you.
13:40Inspect the bed.
13:44Check for any bed bugs.
13:46By which I mean insects and not microphones.
13:52I love coming to Queenstown for a business trip.
13:56My job, importing cars.
13:58My name is Simon Somerset.
14:01Thanks, Simon Somerset.
14:37This is Michael.
14:39Hi, is Mr. Somerset there?
14:42This is him.
14:43You just said this is Michael.
14:45I think you'll find I said this is my call.
14:47As in, this is my room, this is my life, this is my call.
14:52I'm Simon Somerset.
14:54Okay.
14:55A bit of a weird question, but did you shoot a gun in your room?
14:58Very interesting question.
15:01And to that question, I will say, I don't think I did.
15:06Is that everything?
15:08No, I have a message from your friend in room 208.
15:11They'd like to meet you at the bar at 8 o'clock.
15:12I'll be there.
15:13Actually, one more thing.
15:15Could you send someone on?
15:16My room is not up to Simon Somerset standard.
15:19It looks like maybe a bird got in.
15:22Okay.
15:23Maybe the bird shot a gun.
15:39Mr. Somerset.
15:40Sue?
15:42I think you're confused.
15:45I'm Mary Smith.
15:46That's right.
15:47And I'm Simon Somerset.
15:49I know.
15:50I said Mr. Somerset.
15:52I'm sorry.
15:53I'm having a shocker.
15:54Okay, here's the plan.
15:56Tomorrow at 0500 hours.
15:58What is that in normal time?
15:595 a.m.
16:00Can we just use normal time?
16:02Sure.
16:03Misty will pick us up at 5 a.m.
16:04I just really struggle with 24-hour time.
16:07That's fine.
16:07Totally fine.
16:09As I was saying, the three of us will be picked up at 5 a.m.
16:12Ugh, that's so early.
16:14Yeah, it is.
16:15Yeah.
16:15Wait, did you say three of us?
16:17Mm-hmm.
16:17Yes.
16:18Who's the third?
16:19Me, numbnuts.
16:23Don't call me that.
16:24Why not?
16:25You are one.
16:25You both please shut up, okay?
16:28The plan is, all three of us will be picked up at 0500 hours.
16:31We don't know what that means.
16:335 a.m.
16:33We'll be picked up at 5 a.m.
16:36Say that then.
16:37What?
16:38Huh?
16:39Continue.
16:43We'll drive 45 minutes into the mountains.
16:47We'll park up at a viewpoint, and from there, the two of you will take off on your skis.
16:53It'll take you 20 minutes to reach the valley where the house is.
16:59Anderson, you'll set up camp somewhere with a good view of the house.
17:04And then, Michael?
17:07You're on your own.
17:08Enter the house and find anything you can.
17:10We need to find out what the Australians are doing in New Zealand.
17:30Oh, you okay?
17:32Yeah, I'm fine.
17:36You sure?
17:37No, I'm all good.
17:38I think he fell over.
17:39Is he okay?
17:40I think...
17:40Are you okay, mate?
17:41I'm all good.
17:42Just get these back on, and I'll be...
17:44I'll be off.
17:46Okay.
17:47I'm good.
17:47Back to it then.
17:48I'm fine.
17:49Is he hurt?
17:50I...
17:51I...
17:51I don't really want to ask.
18:07Hey, numbnuts, there's a guard on you in, like, five seconds.
18:14Who are you talking to?
18:15You're numbnuts.
18:16Is this what you hit against the wall?
18:18No, actually, because I heard him coming.
18:20Because you said numbnuts, so I assumed you weren't talking to me.
18:22Can you guys please shut up?
18:24Anderson, can you see any open windows?
18:29There's actually a door open on the balcony.
18:32Michael, can you climb up to the balcony?
18:34I can try.
18:36There's a ladder.
18:47I'm in.
18:47What do you see?
18:48I think I'm in a bedroom.
18:50Is there a bed in the room?
18:52Yeah.
18:53Then yeah, I'm pretty sure you're in a bedroom.
18:55Shut up.
18:56I'm gonna look out, but...
18:58Okay.
19:02Anderson?
19:03Anderson, don't shut up.
19:06Anderson?
19:09Michael, tell him you don't want him to shut up.
19:11No.
19:12I do want him to shut up.
19:14You need a look out.
19:15This is so dangerous.
19:17Sorry.
19:18That's okay.
19:19That's okay.
19:24I said 100, and I mean 100.
19:26Is that clear?
19:27Right.
19:28Now the target is the foreign minister of India, Swarun Dhanaraj.
19:33The foreign minister of India.
19:35He's arriving in Christchurch tomorrow for the World Unity Games.
19:39We'll be sending one of our best men.
19:42Magnus.
19:43Magnus.
19:44Michael, how are you getting on?
19:45Really good.
19:47Luckily, this keyhole is massive.
19:49Honestly, I have never seen a keyhole this big.
19:52Hold it right there.
19:56Tell me you've ever seen a keyhole that big.
19:58Put your hands up.
19:59Okay, but you've got to admit that is an abnormally large keyhole.
20:03Have you seen the key?
20:04I would love to see the key.
20:05Shut up.
20:06Who are you talking to?
20:07There is a guard, and he is pointing a gun at me.
20:10Who are you talking to?
20:11I have a radio earpiece in.
20:14See?
20:17Ow!
20:18You okay?
20:19Yeah, I just, I think he threw his earpiece at someone.
20:22Anderson, can you see anything?
20:25Anderson?
20:26Anderson?
20:27You better frickin' not still be shutting up.
20:29I will kill you.
20:30Okay, okay.
20:35No, I can't see him.
20:37Michael!
20:42No sign of him.
20:44Michael, come in.
20:48I can see him.
20:51Well, what's happening?
20:52He's running out of the house, but he's being chased.
20:58He's now whacking a guy with his ski poles.
21:05He's back on the move, but he's got company.
21:09What do you mean?
21:10There's a guard in pursuit.
21:16The guard is armed.
21:30Freeze!
21:32Turn around.
21:40Who are you?
21:42Me?
21:43Yeah.
21:45My name is...
21:47Are you trying to think up a fake name?
21:50No.
21:50Well, it seems like you are.
21:52Well, I'm not.
21:52Okay.
21:54My name is...
21:57Simon.
22:01Is that her name?
22:02Oh.
22:04Uh.
22:07Somerset.
22:08Simon Somerset.
22:24Oh.
22:26Oh, wow.
22:28Holy smokes.
22:29You're bleeding.
22:34Are you okay?
22:57Is Michael okay?
23:00He's fainted and he's rolling down the hill.
