This programme contains very strong language
Walk forward.
Walk, walk, walk.
Sit down.
The hardest battle in the Special Forces is
the one you'll face in your mind.
Guard!
Lose that battle, and you won't last two seconds.
Turn around.
Let's move! Come on, then!
In this series...
All the way!
..15 celebrity recruits...
Argh! Shut up.
..have been taken to the other side of the world. Please!
The only way these celebrities are gonna find their potential is
to make their lives a living hell.
What's happening? There isn't gonna be an easy way out.
Crawl! Crawl! They'll be put through the most gruelling stages
of SAS selection... Good boy!
..by an elite team of ex-Special Forces soldiers.
Go on, Bob! Fight back!
Stripped of all home comforts...
..they will be pushed further than ever before.
Oh, my God. If I pass this course, I'd be as happy as
a dog with two dicks,
but it's gonna be a challenge!
Take his head off! I'd like to think of myself
as a bit of a hard nut,
but probably when I'm out there, I might crumble like a pastry.
No allowances or exceptions will be made.
I'm actually a member of the most unpopular family in the country...
Come on!
..so, whatever happens, I can survive.
Dig deep! Let's go!
There you go.
Ah! I can't do any more.
No other test asks as much...
You don't want to give it a go? No! Are you sure?
SOBBING: I can't do it.
..or means as much...
Look at me. Don't give up. Stay in the game.
Get your head up. Head up, head up.
..to the few who make it through.
If you want to be here,
then use the pain, you nasty things!
Thank you, Staff.
Get out of the car, now! Get out! Get out!
For the penultimate phase of selection,
the four remaining celebrity recruits were split into two teams
and sent on the run...
..whilst being pursued by a hunter force
made up of ex-military.
We're getting chased. We've got to get moving.
Let's go.
Team Bravo, made up of number three, Bianca,
and number ten, Georgia, were ambushed and captured.
Hey. Love you! Love you too.
Down here. Look!
They're very close.
Let's go straight in this direction. OK.
Team Alpha, made up of number eight, Anthony,
and number nine, Lani, are still on the run.
Stay on me!
I've always thought I'd make a great soldier.
I'm a very strong, resolute person.
Steely, determined, rugged, resilient...
Oh, that's a boat! That's a boat.
..and I don't quit.
Team Alpha have arrived at the extraction point...
Chuck our Bergens in or just put..? SUDDEN GUNFIRE ERUPTS
..but the hunter force have spotted them.
OK! Stand up!
When you get captured by the hunter force,
it is absolutely brutal. You're getting manhandled.
You're getting chucked to the floor,
and then you're getting a bag put on your head,
and that's the point you realise that your life
is in the hands of someone else,
and it's an absolutely terrifying place to be.
DOGS BARK
The recruits will now face the most feared phase of selection...
..resistance to interrogation.
The DS have enlisted a specialist team of interrogators
with over 30 years combined experience in war zone
and Special Forces training.
We, as interrogators, have one job and one job only.
We are there to extract information out of you.
Everything we do is designed to put you in
a place where you're not comfortable.
Are you cold?
Oh, what a shame.
It's my job to get inside these people's heads.
You're down now.
The longer they can keep me out, the longer they'll survive.
Cos if I get in there, they're fucked.
Number three, open your eyes, look at me.
Listen carefully to what I'm going to say to you.
Interrogation will be led by one man...
I am The Umpire, and I am in charge of this phase.
..The Umpire...
If at any point you wish to leave this phase,
you just have to raise your hand and ask to speak to The Umpire.
..who cannot be identified, for security reasons.
The next time you see me,
your participation in this phase will be over.
Step down. Step.
For the next 12 hours, the recruits will be subjected
to brutal interrogation.
But first, they must be processed.
Hands.
The purpose of processing is to put
the recruits in no doubt that we are in charge.
It's to strip them of their personal belongings, their dignity.
It is a sharp reminder
to them that they're not in control of anything.
Start taking all this stuff off now.
First in is number three...
What's your name?
Bianca.
Bianca what?
Gascoigne.
..Bianca.
At the start, we weren't sure at all about her.
She didn't look like she was too fit.
She's a new mum,
which is amazing when you think about it.
Get that on.
Oh, thank you.
She's a strong character.
Just a tad confused to why I'm here in this room with you.
Um, I've just had a baby,
so I've got a little bit of baby brain.
Baby brain, eh?
I like that.
She's polite. She's deferential.
Take your hood off.
Next to be processed is number nine, Lani.
So, start taking those clothes off for me.
Do that now.
Quick as you can.
Come on, Lani. Come on.
She's a Maori.
She's a professional boxer - world champion.
I don't have time to muck about.
Please don't throw the boots at me, either.
Training camp is a garage with a sofa in it.
She sleeps in the fucking garage and trains and trains.
Private.
Doesn't moan.
She's a great woman.
What brings you all the way out here then?
We got lost.
LANI SIGHS
Was that a sigh?
I'm cold and...
Why do I have to do this?
What did you say?
I don't know why I'm here.
Good girl.
She's coming across as subservient and weak...
Pop that on you.
Quick as you can.
..but then you just need to look at her face
to know she's none of the above.
And I'll be seeing you again.
Quickly.
Guard!
PIGS SQUEAL, BABIES CRY
In between questioning,
the recruits are held in stress positions
and subjected to distressing sounds aimed at breaking their resolve.
The key for the recruit is that they have to try
and win over the interrogator.
Go, move, move.
And that's all about humanising yourself.
Don't be a dick,
and don't antagonise the interrogation team.
Number eight, Anthony, is next in for processing.
The issues we've had with him, he's just cocky.
He's an alpha male.
I think he'll find it tough having authority pushed in his face.
Everything you've got on...
..off, all of it.
Hurry up.
Come on, stop pissing about.
What's that mean?
It's a tattoo, sir.
I can fucking see that. What's it mean?
Uh, it's writing.
It's for my sisters.
They're not here with you, are they?
They're not, sir, no.
No, I am.
Tattoo about my mum there as well, sir.
Shh.
Did I ask about that one?
You didn't ask me, no.
That, that - bad move.
He's getting cocky.
It's like, "I don't give a fuck, mate, do what you want."
That's what he is doing.
Yeah.
And I'm gonna leave you a little tattoo there of me.
Thank you, sir.
You're welcome.
There you go. That's my little bald head.
Didn't like that. Look.
He didn't like it at all.
He's struggling.
I hate bullies.
I hate unfairness.
I grew up - I had a lot of anger inside me.
Luckily, I was able to channel my violence and anger as a boxer.
Don't fiddle with yourself.
It's a bit fucking disconcerting for me, you playing with that.
Tugging at it like a fucking toddler.
I don't want to see that.
No, sir.
Oof, he's just, he can't help himself, can he?
Get them on. Thank you.
He is a heartbeat away from losing his temper on this.
I'd like to think I'm quite rational now, much less hot-headed.
It's been lovely chatting.
I enjoyed it too.
Good. I'm sure we'll chat a bit more.
I'm just checking that's not false.
But listen, when you have that, I don't think it ever just goes.
You've always got it.
Guard.
I am watching him and thinking,
"You could get yourself in trouble."
He's on that line.
You all right?
Yeah.
Last to be processed is number ten, Georgia.
So, what I want is nice, friendly, unthreatening.
Let's really...bring her guard down.
Let's get you out of that wet and cold kit.
So, we use the friendly approach
on a recruit that we think will respond to it...
You got anything in your pockets that's gonna hurt me?
Nothing that should hurt you.
Well, I don't know, I might be allergic to nuts or something.
That might hurt me, mightn't it?
Yeah, but they're sealed.
That's... Good point.
..but it's always a trap.
Everything that is put in front of the recruit is
a trap of some description.
So, what you doing out here then?
Well, I've been out here campaigning for the Fight for the Flightless
campaign for kakapo birds.
Right. OK.
You're here to utilise your celebrity to bring awareness
to the cause of protecting the kakapo.
Imagine Kermit the Frog with a beak. It's a real creature out here.
24 hours ago,
the recruits were provided with a cover story
to be used in the event of capture.
Knowing this backwards and forwards, this is ammunition.
Subtle details like how you all met,
did you fly coach, did you fly business?
Remember that information.
All right, are we clear? ALL: Yes, Staff.
You hungry?
I don't eat meat.
You don't eat meat?
Would you like to eat the chips?
I'll have a chip, yeah. Thanks.
Help yourself.
I honestly have no idea how I'm gonna cope in terms of
the interrogation.
Tell me a little bit about what you're doing, then.
Like, I cannot control my tongue.
We've got to do a speech tomorrow at 9am.
I don't even know what time it is any more.
I was always getting in trouble at school for, like, answering back.
If something comes into my head,
even though I know I shouldn't say it, I'll just say it.
You sound a little bit sort of confused as
to what sort of happened then.
Well, I'm jet-lagged, I'm hungover...
Yeah. Hungover? ..and I'm freezing. Yeah.
So, where were you drinking, then?
Uh, at the hotel.
Right, OK.
And then, basically, we went out looking for some kakapo birds.
Right, OK.
We'd already seen the birds on an island today. Yeah.
Um, and they're meant to be extinct here. Yeah.
See, we didn't... Was it planned, you're saying, or what?
No, it was, like, spontaneous.
OK.
Whose idea was it?
It was my idea.
"My idea."
Shot herself in the arse a little bit here.
That she is the self-professed leader of the gang.
The key in surviving in resistance to interrogation is
to try not to highlight yourself for anything,
whether that's being the strongest, or the weakest, or the leader.
Have a couple more chips if you're hungry. Eat up.
If we can construe you as the leader, then by default,
you're the person that knows most about what you were doing.
That is probably not gonna end well for you.
LOUD, SHRILL SOUNDS
Argh.
The four remaining celebrity recruits will now enter the next phase...
..solo interrogation...
..where they will be questioned further on their cover story.
Button your top up for us.
First in is number three, Bianca.
Sit down.
Cold?
Very cold.
My upbringing has definitely made me strong.
Growing up with the Gascoigne name was definitely difficult for me.
I got really bullied at school.
So what happened after seeing the kakapos on Codfish?
Um, we made our way back to the hotel.
At lunchtimes, I had to spend my lunch with the dinner lady
in another room,
so I think that's probably why I'm quite strong now is
because I had to be strong then.
We had a few drinks, and we thought -
well, mainly my friend Georgia -
she thought that it would be a good idea
to see if there was any kakapos,
obviously, where we were staying, cos they're nocturnal.
Yeah.
So, if they're nocturnal...
..why did you go to Codfish Island in the day to see them?
They're not...
But they're nocturnal, so how would you have seen them?
Um...
..I'm not 100% sure on that one.
I've wrote a couple of things down,
and already it looks like horse shit.
I'm just a little bit all over the shop, just from...
You fucking will be.
Just had a baby, so it's just... There's a lot been going on.
I couldn't give a fuck about your baby.
Unless it's here in the room
and you need to change its fucking nappy,
I don't care.
I care about the fucking shit you're writing down!
It's bullshit!
How's that sound?
Sound wonderful?
It fucking better. Stand up.
Thought she was good, mate.
I thought she was good.
Didn't allow herself to get flustered.
She didn't allow herself to, you know,
to get in a tizz about it.
They've bought themselves more time.
Right, nine.
She's physically strong.
She's robust.
Mental pressure I think is gonna be her Achilles heel.
I really need her to feel the psychological pressure of
the questions, answers running out.
It's all right, put your hands down.
Right, what you doing here, Lani?
I'm down in...at the bird...assembly.
I think the biggest skills that I have would be my mindset.
So what happened after you'd seen these, uh, kakapos?
I'm quite headstrong, and I'm willing to do what it takes.
Whatever my coach says, I do, and we win.
Who decided to go looking for these things?
Georgia.
Yeah, cos we had, like, she wanted to go on an adventure.
I didn't really want to go, but I didn't want to feel left out.
Good call.
It's good thinking.
She's at least portraying that she's been swept up in something that's
of benefit to her,
so she's not trying to present herself as a hero to the world.
She's just, "Fuck me," you know, "What was I supposed to do?"
So, who was driving?
Ant.
Where'd you get the keys from?
Ant had the keys.
Ant had the keys?
So, who was keen on going, then?
Georgia, obviously.
Is Georgia in charge of this little group or something?
Is she the boss?
No, she's just... Do you follow her orders?
She's pretty convincing, if you meet her.
That's the third person that's - including Georgia -
that's said Georgia was in charge.
Who's now the most valuable to us?
Yeah. Georgia.
That's true.
So, you know, you've just flagged her up
for some particularly unpleasant treatment.
Yeah.
In interrogation, the key is to stay under the radar.
You have to be the grey man.
If the interrogators believe that you are the leader,
you are the one that is gonna become the focus of attention.
You are the valuable asset that holds the key to
all the information that they ultimately want.
You're the one that's gonna get the fucking pain.
Take your hood off.
Pass me it.
Number ten, Georgia...
Sort yourself out there.
..is next in for interrogation.
Take a seat.
Georgia, I need you to sort of talk me through your role in all of this.
Everybody else is talking.
Everybody is saying that you're the leader.
You've caused all this.
You have got everybody in this pile of shit.
I'm not a leader, I've only just met these people.
It was my idea to look for the birds,
but I didn't drag them by their necks.
Like, it was just my idea, and it was a stupid idea,
and I know that.
So why would they follow you?
Everybody is pointing to you to be the fucking leader.
And that makes you very fucking interesting to me,
Georgia, because there's more to you than meets
the fucking eye here, isn't there?
ISN'T THERE?!
I'm getting the measure of you.
Put that on.
So, for the recruits,
we will make sure that they believe they've made the mistake.
LOUD DIAL-UP TONES, BABIES CRY
We then put them back into detention,
where they have no other option but to dwell on the mistake.
That is far and away a test of their mental ability.
Right, so, let's have a look at eight.
What I want is to give him the opportunity
to show us that he understands that fighting isn't the answer here.
Subservience is the answer.
Take your hood off.
Pass me it.
Last in for questioning is number eight, Anthony.
OK, talk me through how yous all met two days ago.
We're doing a charitable, um, campaign...
Mm-hm. ..for a bird thing.
What the fuck does that even mean?
What's the bird thing called?
It's called kaka - K, A, K, A.
It's the kakapo and kiwi.
Oh, you write like me. Um...
Don't fucking comment on how I write, OK?
That's not your fucking place.
That, see, that's the mistakes he makes, mate.
He should be reading the room and behaving himself.
I'm not sure where he's going with this.
The reason why - it's called Fight for the Flightless.
I'm in a transition period in my life at the moment.
I'm not... To be honest with you,
I've got a lot of things going on in my life right now.
I've got a whole lot of stuff, personal things.
I'm not fucking interested.
I know, I'm trying to ex...
You are fucking boring the shit clean out of me now.
Can I cross my legs, please?
Can I sit and cross my legs?
Stop fucking me about.
OK. So, this... You're fucking just being distracting now.
This... And you're fucking pissing me off.
Oh, all over the place, mate.
He's misread the room.
He shouldn't be pushing her buttons at this stage.
Golden rule - "Don't piss off the interrogation team."
You have had your fucking chance.
You're just taking the piss.
Stand up and put your fucking hood on.
Fucking stand up!
Put... Oi! Put that fucking hood on you now.
Guard!
The last thing you want to do is piss off your interrogator.
They would - real world - kick you,
beat you, and possibly shoot you...
..as an example to the other POWs.
Now do you fucking see what happens when you fucking piss me about?
I was trying to be fucking nice, but what did you do?
You fucking seen a little female, and you thought,
"I'll just fucking go for this now," didn't you?
I wasn't trying to be big or clever.
Yes, you fucking were.
I don't think that he thinks he's being a dick when he's being a dick.
Yeah.
He's giving that air off, "I can fight my way out of this."
I'm looking for reasons to keep him.
You just thought, "I'll play the fucking big man."
Well, it fucking stops now!
Do you understand?!
Yes, or fucking no?!
I understand very clearly, yeah.
Um, the female thing, I don't understand.
I... Shut the fuck up and listen!
You're not getting this, but I promise you,
by the end of this, you will fucking get it, OK?
OK. Yeah, good.
It is eight hours into the resistance
to interrogation phase of the course.
Number eight, Anthony,
has been punished for antagonising the interrogators.
Guard!
The next two hours for him are gonna be the teller,
because he's gonna go into detention not knowing how
to fix what he thinks is broken.
LOUD DIAL-UP TONES
BABY CRIES
The interrogators will now increase the pressure
in the double interrogation phase of the course.
Stand up.
I think poor Georgia has already realised
the folly of flagging herself up as team leader.
Step down.
But I'd just like that brought home a little bit more.
Look, the only real answer to it is either you fess up,
or you fucking shut up, and you ride it out.
First in, number three, Bianca...
God, you look rough.
Holy shit.
..and number ten, Georgia.
So, are you the boss here? Or her?
No, sir. So, you're the...
Well, you fucking said you were earlier.
Look at me when I'm fucking talking to you.
Are you the fucking leader that decided to go out?
It was my idea to go out, but I'm not a leader.
So, yes, it's your idea.
Yes, sir.
Which means you've took fucking charge,
which means you've took fucking control.
So, it's your fault
that that fucking mess is here as well, isn't it?
This is your fucking fault.
Don't fucking cry.
Oh, she's crying. Oh.
Oh, is there tears over there?
Oh, dear. Yeah.
Put your fucking hand down.
All you do is lie.
I just want to go home.
I fucking want to go home.
Cos you're a fucking div.
She's being a fucking twat over there,
and she's gonna get you in a world of shit, isn't she?
Take a look. Take a look.
There's your leader there.
How...? KEEP LOOKING!
That's fucking pathetic, isn't it?
Hmm?
Keep looking, keep looking.
There she is, a snivelling fucking wreck.
Clean your face. Dry your tears.
There you go.
How's that? Is that better?
Yes, sir.
You've got to get yourself out of this mess.
You've got to get yourself out.
It's only gonna get worse from here on in...
..cos of that fucking piece of shit over there.
I'm extremely loyal,
and there's many times in my life where I've had disloyalty,
so being loyal is very important to me.
I just want to keep everyone safe, you know?
I think you need to thank her...
..for bringing you here, stopping you from seeing your baby,
and now you're in captivity.
So, say thank you.
Say thank you!
It wasn't her fault cos we all came away. Say thank you!
I'm not asking you who's fucking fault it is!
I'm telling you what to say!
Now say it!
Thank you, Georgia.
Well done, Georgia.
Big pat on the back for you.
It's really hard for them, this, isn't it?
Like, really hard.
She must feel very fucking guilty.
Does she feel guilty over there?
Cos she fucking well should.
Do you feel guilty?
Yeah.
The state of her.
Your fault. I know, I'm sorry. Yeah.
Yeah, I bet you are.
I am trustworthy.
I was brought up in, like, an East End family where everyone
would sort of take the mick out of each other,
and if you went to tell on someone else,
they'd just tell you off for telling.
So I think I'm the sort of person that doesn't let people down.
You fucking move again, and I swear to God...
I told you, didn't I?
You're a fucking liar,
and you're clearly fucking hiding something.
Fucking move again..!
She's really shown another layer of toughness.
Uh, I'm impressed.
Strong. Good, strong girls.
I mean, that was fucking brutal. Yeah.
Uh, I thought it was really good.
Put it on, dickhead.
Although interrogation feels that it's all about you, it's not.
It's about your team.
Every decision you make individually has an impact on the team.
If you lead with the ego, you will be exposed very quickly.
I want nine to have a hard time.
I want eight to be given licence to talk.
Like dinner, and who drove.
I want to see if he's got the wit to try
and come to her defence when he sees the duress she's in,
when his behaviour is the catalyst to her discomfort.
Next into double interrogation is number eight, Anthony,
and number nine, Lani.
Come here.
You've been off to a bit of a bad start, haven't you?
Who has, sir? You have.
Have I?
Well, I'm saying you have, aren't I?
So I'm gonna ask you the fucking questions.
But I'm willing to give you a bit more of a chance, yeah?
How about you tell me what's happening, then?
There were two... Right, OK. ..two fellas.
Yeah? Um...
He just doesn't seem to be able to help hisself.
Attitude.
It was, I agree.
He keeps thinking he knows what he should do or act like,
and he keeps missing it.
Are you giving me fucking attitude?
No.
I'm sad.
You're sad?
Yes.
So what you fucking need to do is explain to me...
..why he was driving.
Cos he got given the keys.
So where the fuck are the keys now?
I don't know.
Where are the fucking keys?
He was driving.
Where are the fucking keys?!
I haven't seen him once yet look up and see what's going on over there.
Oi, you, where are the fucking keys?
Do you know? Where are the car keys?
Do you know where the fucking car keys are?
Apparently, you were fucking driving, yes?
Um, were they not in my bag?
Well, no, we're asking the question.
Are they or not? I'll tell you what. They're not in the fucking bag.
What do you fucking think, dickhead?
Why are we asking?
What are you laughing at?
I'll tell you what, what do you find funny?
I'm not sure what he's laughing about here.
That's arrogance.
He should be fucking behaving himself.
I mean, he'd have got a battering, wouldn't he?
They both would have done. Yeah.
That would have been a punch straight in the mouth for her,
and then he'd have been dragged outside
and kicked within an inch of his life.
I'll tell you what, nice one,
I'm gonna take it out on her.
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING KEYS?!
Cos that prick's being smart, you're fucking getting it!
Do you understand?!
Yes.
This is what we're fucking talking about, isn't it, hey?
This is fucking your fault, dickhead, isn't it?
Oi.
Look up.
Randy Savage, this is for you.
Have that.
And again.
Cos of your fucking arrogance, mate.
Your fucking smarmy arrogance
has just got her a nice dousing of water.
He turned that to her getting water in the face.
If you're gonna be flippant,
at least try and protect your fucking colleague.
"Punish me. Punish me. It was me that did it."
What do you say to me for giving you a drink?
Thank you.
Thank you, what?
Sir.
Look at me when you say it. Mean it.
Thank you, sir.
Yes, you are fucking welcome, my little friend.
She's tough.
She's got the right attitude.
She shows the right emotional deference.
Steely fucking eyes, though, hasn't she?
We've tried a nice conversation...
..and you just can't fucking do it, can you?
Find these endangered birds?
Why are you not taking pictures of them?
Fucking can it. It's a load of fucking bollocks.
Get up.
Up, quicker!
You're taking the fucking piss with this as well.
That was bad.
Fuck me, within three minutes, he had blown it.
"Keep yourself alive.
"Do not cause harm to yourself or others."
Fuck me, like, that's a failure.
Like, that performance is a fail.
Number eight, Anthony, is taken to see The Umpire...
Number eight, look at me.
Who am I? The Umpire.
Your participation in this phase is over.
..and has been withdrawn from the course.
How are you feeling?
Pissed off.
Mate, mate, listen.
No, I'm fucking pissed off with it.
I'm fucking really wound up.
You've antagonised and pushed him to this point.
That's it, mate. I haven't...
They were antagonising me. I didn't rise to it.
Of course they are, that's their job to do.
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't rise to it. Look, calm yourself down.
Buddy, hey...
..listen, mate, you've done fucking brilliant.
Listen, take it on the chin.
It is what it is.
And we've all been fucking rooting for you.
Back in a minute.
Number eight, Anthony Ogogo,
is the 12th recruit to leave the course.
I've been through loads of ups and downs in my life.
Whether my dad's beating me up as a five-year-old,
whether my boxing career got taken from me.
I can walk away with my head held high,
knowing that I could have done no more.
Good. OK, let's go back to work.
LOUD DIAL-UP TONE
BABY CRIES
Of the 15 celebrity recruits who began the course, only three remain.
Oh, my God.
It's important to recognise that the recruits have been through
hours and hours and hours of physical and mental duress.
They are exhausted and hungry...
..and freezing.
We're gonna run a three-way.
This is a point at which the ante has to go up considerably.
It's about them all collectively recognising
that there is duress now.
Step down.
We use water...
Kneel down.
..cages...
Oh.
..to simulate an increase in duress in the real world...
..which could be a beating, torture.
It's to show the recruits that the temperature has gone up
and they need to adapt accordingly.
Well done.
You're in a cage.
This is what happens when you're the leader,
and you put yourself forward.
And you've got a fucking attitude,
so you have to be punished.
So, well done, you.
Keep looking at me.
This is your own fault.
We've got one for you as well, don't worry.
You get your turn as well.
Oh, I can't.
Aargh.
Ah. Aargh.
It's like being hit in the head with a cold hammer.
Here you go, take that.
Come on. Come on. Hurry up. No messing.
Hurry up. Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
Quickly. Come on, Princess. Let's go.
This is all for you.
Now, over, over. Go on.
Hurry up, let's go. Pour it. Now.
Let's go.
Oh.
Argh!
Go back. Argh!
Let's go.
Fucking heart breaks for them, doesn't it?
SHE SOBS
I'd rather not be tortured.
Don't really fancy it.
Like, I'm not into all that, if you know what I mean.
Georgia.
But I'll step up to the mark when it comes to it.
Georgia, there's a way to make this stop.
GEORGIA SNIFFLES
Good girl. Good girl.
You don't want to make this stop?
OK.
Well done. Tough as fuck.
Fucking freezing out there.
That's ice-cold water, and she's like that... Brain freeze.
..she's like that, "Fuck you, no."
GEORGIA SOBS
You would never think she has got that resilience.
Tough girls.
LOUD DISTRESSING SOUNDS
The recruits have been awake for 24 hours
with limited food and water.
In a further attempt to break their cover story...
..the interrogators now turn their attention
to number nine, Lani...
..and number three, Bianca.
Don't you start looking round.
Stay where you are.
Georgia, you have got to be the worst leader.
We're gonna create the illusion to the other two
that ten has fessed up, by feeding her a nice dinner.
Start eating and watch the show.
Welcome, ladies...
Come on, eat.
Eat. You need to eat.
..to the save-your-life quiz.
Who wants to play the fucking quiz?
Do you want to play? LANI: Yes.
Yes. Do you? BIANCA: Yes.
Keep eating, Georgia.
Keep eating.
You are out looking for these flightless birds.
Is that a yes or no?
BIANCA: It is.
LANI: Yes.
Aah, bollocks.
Oh, no, no, you can't move.
Get fucking back.
Get fucking back. BIANCA: Argh.
That's better.
Right then.
Get back. BIANCA: I VW.
I can't, I can't, VW. Get back.
Get back. I can't.
I can't. I've got to VW. I'm VW'ing.
THE UMPIRE: Oh, VW. No, no, no, no.
Why are you letting them go through that?
Number three, Bianca,
has voluntarily withdrawn from the course.
That shouldn't have got rid of her.
Let's be brutally honest. No, no. Yeah.
INSTRUCTOR: All right, mate?
Yeah, after all of that, a bit of water scares me off,
but I can't, I just can't.
Hey, that's a fucking superb performance.
Thank you.
Keep your chin up, mate, all right.
Oi. How you feeling?
I just feel a bit shit, obviously.
That's all right. Hey, you have done unbelievable.
Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you. We're all proud of you. Honestly.
And we don't say that lightly. Come here. Thank you very much.
You're welcome. BIANCA SOBS
Number three, Bianca Gascoigne...
Don't be sorry. I know, I know.
Don't be sorry. Take a seat. Relax.
..is the 13th recruit to leave the course.
Be proud. Thank you.
You've done amazing, OK. Well done.
Now, just two recruits remain.
What's that?
I don't know.
What do you think it is?
A box. Yep.
A box that looks a bit like a coffin.
There will come a point at which the pressure has become so great
that it should be clear to you that
your or a fellow recruit's life is in danger.
What do you think box that looks like a coffin means?
Where do you think you're going?
At that point, you have to admit the truth.
It's the only way to stay alive.
Do you know where you're going? No.
You're fucking going in there.
Come here.
Oh!
Don't move.
In.
Legs in. Come on.
Step in.
Go. Don't look at her.
Don't look at her. Get in.
In! Get in the fucking coffin!
Get in there! Get in!
Now!
GEORGIA: Yeah, I think it's gone too far.
We're training for the Special Forces.
Oh, are you sure? Is this fucking true?
Is this true?
LANI: Yes.
So, why have you been lying?
Well?
Cos that's what we were trained to do.
True? GEORGIA: Yeah, true.
This better be true.
Last chance saloon for both of them.
Demonstration of threat to life - recognised by ten.
Two survivors.
All right, then, let's crack it.
With the interrogation phase now over...
Um, I'll just open up, and then please jump in when you feel free.
..the DS will decide if either of the two remaining recruits...
..have done enough to pass selection.
Right, number nine.
Very grey woman at the start.
She's grown with the course.
Really came into her own, obviously, on the aggressive task that we did.
She has failed a couple of tasks...
Your left leg seems to have lost the ability to manoeuvre properly.
Ah, shit.
..but she took advice, learned from it...
..got up, and bounced back.
That's it, nine.
The only thing I will say is she's been very quiet. Yes.
For me, she needs to be part of a team.
All right, let's move on to number ten.
I mean, if you asked me at the start would she be here,
I would have said 100% nope.
In the beginning of the course, we noticed she lacked maturity.
Look at me.
Take that smirk off your face before I take it off for you.
Argh.
Fail!
She's took the bollockings for it.
She's attacked tasks, she's passed tasks, she's failed.
Argh!
But then when the physical task came to bear...
Go, ten. ..she actually really did impress me.
She's dug deep, and she is stood here at the end.
So, the question is, do we pass them, or do we not?
Difficult one.
Big step.
Take off your hoods.
Drop them behind you.
We told you from the start what we were looking for.
Have you got guts...
..determination, grit?
Can you get knocked back and get up and go forward again?
Do you have courage?
Do you have trust, honesty and integrity?
Would we have that person stood next to us?
Number ten...
..you have passed selection.
Thank you.
Number nine...
Yes, Staff.
..you have also passed selection.
Congratulations.
Well done.
I can't believe it was me and you.
Thank you.
That was brutal.
You lot are sick. Well done, great effort.
When you finally get through interrogation,
and you've passed selection,
the feelings you get standing there in front of the DS,
knowing that you earned something.
Oh, I don't know if I'm ready to be happy yet.
LANI: I know.
I'm so traumatised.
Oh, same, that was bloody terrible.
Passing selection is one of the most exhilarating feelings,
not just for yourself,
but the other guys who you pass selection with.
I can't believe that we're the only two that've done it.
Two girls, as well.
This course has shown me that women are fucking tough.
They're resilient.
Get on parade!
They have outshone the men that have been on this course.
Bon voyage. Goodbye.
Bye.
Go...before I change my mind.
When I leave this course,
I just want to feel that I gave it absolutely everything I got,
and I want to feel proud of myself.
I feel like over the last few years, I've been mentally,
quite frankly, pushed to my limits,
and I've seen how far I can go.
No matter how hard life gets,
and no matter what you come up against,
you can find that inner light inside of you,
and you can shine through anything.
I actually can't believe we've done it.
It doesn't feel real.
I think my downfall is that I've never really believed in myself.
This is my time to shine,
and there's nothing that's gonna stop me.
I'm just a Maori girl from Pipiwai rocking it on the world stage,
and I just, yeah, it's unbelievable, really.
Passing selection, it's a life-changing moment.
The blood, sweat, and tears that you put into that course,
you can't even imagine until you've done it.
You surprise yourself with
the confidence that you can find and dig into.
It is definitely something you'll always remember.
