Selection for the SAS
is a test like no other.
There are no limits in Special Forces selection.
We'll expose every part of your being,
especially, your emotions and your fears.
If there's a weak link or if you're struggling that day,
it will be your demise.
Go! Move!
Have a bit of (BLEEP) pride for the fact
you've been allowed to come here!
A new group of celebrity recruits
have volunteered to leave their comfortable lives behind.
I am a competitive beast.
Fight!
I'm somebody who always wants to do things 100% and win.
Good.
Now, you're up here.
They'll be trained... What's happened?
We're under fire. We're under fire. Talk to me! Talk to me!
..to survive the impossible.
I've got to carry your (BLEEP) body
back down to your (BLEEP) family!
Chief instructor Ant Middleton and his team of directing staff...
Move! What are you going to do?
..will make no exceptions.
(ZIMA BREATHES DEEPLY)
Oh!
(THUDS)
I was gonna do it. Shh, shh, shh, it doesn't matter.
You matter.
(SIRENS BLARES)
Tonight...
You hang on for (BLEEP) dear life.
A hideous 100m rope hang...
Do not be the first one to drop.
Come on!
(ABBEY WHIMPERS) Hurry up number 14!
Separates the fearless...
Obviously, I am going to be up against young bucks.
Move! ..from the feeble.
Staff!
Keep the (BLEEP) noises down.
Staff! Ignore the pain.
Do not let go of that rope.
(BLEEP) hell.
Then, letters from loved ones...
(MATTHEW SIGHS)
..will either lift their spirits...
If you don't beat me, you will never live it down.
(RECRUITS LAUGHS)
..or bring them crashing down.
And... Let's go!
Come on!
(STAFF YELL & BANG WALLS) Wakey, wake!
A bloodthirsty beasting...
We are gonna go all night. ..with only one way out.
We will keep going until one of you VWs.
Which recruit won't last?
Don't be a (BLEEP) idiot.
Give me your number and this will (BLEEP) stop!
(RECRUIT COUGHS)
(RECRUIT SIGHS)
Real cold.
After a week of relentless tasks and meagre rations...
Who's ready for some pain?
..just six recruits remain on the course.
(RECRUITS YAWNS & SIGHS)
Exhausted and in pain,
they prepare for another torturous day.
On selection, pain is inevitable.
When I did my selection,
every day you would remove your boots
and you would ring your socks out.
They were full of blood,
you had blisters all over your feet and then the next day
when you went to do your tasks, the first part of that day
was just living through that pain.
My motivation to do the course is to build my self-belief.
I've-I've lost a lot of self-belief
in my physical ability.
So, finding that confidence again, that's the challenge.
I really believe that I'm not done yet.
As one of the oldest recruits on the course,
number nine, Craig McLachlan...
(BLEEP) me.
..is feeling his age.
You know, when you're young
and you are fit,
and your elbows aren't shot,
and your hip isn't cactus.
It's just easy.
I'm confident that I'll get through it.
(COUGHS)
But they're very real concerns for me.
(SQUEAKS)
You hear that? That's my elbow.
First and foremost, I want to prove to myself
that I'm capable of doing this.
They're dry.
There also is a sense of me trying to prove so many people wrong
in the past that have told me
that I'll never achieve that
or I'm not capable of doing this and,
um, yeah, I've copped that a hell of a lot.
You know, there's not too many women that have completed the course
and...and...have passed an SAS selection,
so, I hope that I can kind of follow in their footsteps
and...and be there on the final day as well.
Are yours dry or are they wet?
Well, I left them out here. Oh, did you? OK.
I came out, I actually came out at 1:58...
Yeah.
..and stoked this again... Yeah.
Oh, there you go. ..to try them around.
Breakfast time.
What did they just say?
Breakfast. Oh.
As duty recruit,
Craig dishes out another unappealing breakfast.
A googi. Two please.
Two googies.
Now, I'm afraid we're out of nutmeg.
(ABBEY CHUCKLES)
We're out of brown and raw sugar.
Sugar, damn it.
And um, some... There's nothing better.
Someone stole the honey so...
But despite the need for nourishment,
eating is a struggle for some.
(ABBEY LAUGHS)
(CRAIG M GAGS)
Just think it's a hash brown. It's a hash brown.
How many eggs are there left?
You'll be thrilled to know...
(CRAIG M RETCHES)
(RECRUITS LAUGHS)
You'll one thrilled to know there are four.
Four eggs.
(RECRUITS LAUGHS)
Just waiting... He's gagging.
(RECRUITS LAUGH) ..for us.
What are you doing?
Nothing, I'm fine. He's gagging. Get it down.
Swallow. (LAUGHS)
Get it down sphincter lips.
Sphincter lips!
(MATTHEW LAUGHS)
It's what he calls himself.
Is it like trying to eat a...
Swallow a, like dry weed mix?
Oh, dry weed mix easy compared
to these googi at this point in the game.
Oh thanks for coming. Thank you.
Thanks for breakfast. What's your restaurant called?
Give it a name.
Call it sphincter lips.
(CRAIG M LAUGHS)
Welcome to Sphincter Lips.
(CROW CAWS)
(LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
As the recruits head out
for another punishing day on the course...
Come on.
..they must dig deep to face their first task.
Go. Get your bergens.
We're the most highly trained at what we do in the world.
Move.
We live in chaos.
We live in the uncomfortable...
One straight line.
Hurry up.
..where courage and bravery is forced upon us.
(BLEEP) sprint.
Go number 13, let's go, move. Get moving.
You should all be (BLEEP) shifting like number 13.
For the recruits,
courage is facing absolutely anything that's in front of you.
Let's go number seven.
To comment to the mission, to a task.
The rest of you lining up in a straight line face me.
Believing in yourself,
that's what true courage is all about.
As you can see, look up there...
that great big canyon.
That is a mere obstacle.
(BLEEP) patrol, we hit that.
We ain't stopping.
Mountain troop put two ropes over.
We get across it every single time.
You'll go up there in pairs.
One will go up this ridge.
The other will go up this ridge.
DS will set you off and you will start moving...
this way into the centre, this way into the centre.
Feet on one rope at the bottom and your hands at the top.
Your whole body should be working in harmony.
Hand eye coordination, it's a simple movement.
Keep it going.
All about momentum.
Is that understood? Yes, Staff.
There will be three words of command from my mouth.
Stop, continue and my final word of command for you
will be hang.
You hang on for (BLEEP) dear life.
Yes, your (BLEEP) arms and legs are gonna burn.
Do not be the first one to drop.
To pass, the recruits must step off the rope...
Hang!
..and outlast their opponent.
Even if your (BLEEP) oppo drops next to you,
you keep going.
Just because they drop, doesn't mean that you drop.
Everyone happy?
Yes, Staff. Go.
Make that happen quick time.
The high mountain pass and hang,
this task is designed to test them physically and mentally.
Number 13, stand up and follow me.
Their body and their shoulders and their arms
will be screaming with pain and fatigue.
Seven, stand up.
Follow me.
But what we're looking for is to see who has the mental
and physical resilience to keep pushing through.
And straight up you see the DS.
It takes courage.
Move number seven!
Block out all of the pain when their arms and their bodies
are screaming to give in.
Come on, number 13,
you can move faster than that, let's go.
We want to see who can hang in the longest.
What is there breaking point?
First over the frightening drop is Olympic diver, Matt Mitcham...
OK, 13, watch the ropes. Don't stand on the ropes.
Two hands on there, please.
..and one of the oldest recruits on selection...
OK.
..Thai cave rescue hero, Craig Challen.
This is the ultimate Gandalf and Gollum challenge.
13.
Courage.
Confidence.
Suggest you pick a point out on the horizon,
on this mountain here.
Concentrate on that.
Don't let the fear consume your (BLEEP) thought process.
OK?
Alright.
Step out. Let's go.
Get a nice pace.
As soon as you feel those knots, just step through them.
OK, both feet on.
OK, keep going. Start sliding out.
That's it. Small steps.
There you go.
Breathe number 13.
Long time to hold your (BLEEP) breathe.
There you go. Enjoy the view.
That's it, good work.
Nice.
Wide slides.
Keep your feet in contact with the top on the bottom.
Good.
A lot of people see me
as a courageous person
and I've got a medal that I've been
given to prove that,
but I don't think how other people see me is, is very important.
Nice work, Craig.
You know, what's important at the end of the day
is how I see myself, um, I don't think
that I'm a particularly remarkable human being.
I just try and do the best that I can do in the face of fear.
That's good, number seven, keep going.
Courage.
Courage in your convictions. Keep moving.
Keep moving, 13, don't stop.
When I've got a goal,
I'm good at doing
what needs to be done
to to achieve it.
Keep moving, number 13. Keep moving.
I can't handle criticism very well and so it's this avoidance
of being criticised or failing so,
you know, if I do something perfect then-then
I'm protected from that.
As an athlete, I've always kind of struggled
with that balance of, you know,
how do you push yourself if you're too easy on yourself?
But I've never really figured that out.
Ignore the movement in the rope and just keep shuffling.
Keep your head and eyes forward.
Good effort, 13.
Step over, well done. That's the first knot passed.
Well done.
Have to wait for (BLEEP) Benjamin Button now, aren't you?
That's good, number seven, keep going.
Number seven, let's go!
Almost there, few more feet, 13.
Keep your head and eyes forward.
Good effort.
Number 13, stop!
Number seven, stop!
Hold there, number seven.
Number seven...
Number 13...
Hang!
Hang.
Don't let go of that rope, 13.
Come on, number seven.
Show 'em who's boss.
Breathe through it, take your mind somewhere else.
Head back.
There you go.
Good effort, 13.
(INTENSE MUSIC)
(CRAIG C BREATHES HEAVILY)
Matt's like really straight.
Keep hanging, number seven.
(CRAIG C & MATTHEW GRUNT, STRUGGLING)
Hang in there, 13.
Come on, seven. Pays to be a winner!
Let's go number seven!
Do not give up!
(MATTHEW GRUNTS, STRUGGLING)
Breathe.
Come on, seven.
Do not let go of that rope.
(MATTHEW YELLS)
Hanging above a horrifying 100m
drop to the canyon floor...
Keep hanging number seven!
..number seven, Craig, and number 13, Matt,
are desperate to outlast each other.
Hang in there, 13.
(MATTHEW GRUNTS, STRUGGLING)
Come on, seven. Pays to be a winner!
Let's go, number seven!
Do not give up!
(INTENSE MUSIC)
Breathe.
Come on, seven.
Do not let go of that rope.
(MATTHEW YELLS)
Ah, (BLEEP) hell.
Fail 13.
Yes!
Gandalf wins.
Keep hanging, number seven, all the way.
Keep hanging, number seven.
Number 13, (BLEEP) fail.
Well done, seven, well done.
I've certainly got an instinct to-to push through
and to keep going.
Number seven, clear!
The last thing I want to do is walk away
and then look back later and say,
"I could have done better."
Giving up, that's not a happy place to be.
That looks like you're the winner.
Why are your forearms so strong?
Oh, I don't know.
They aren't bigger than yours, are they?
It's not about size, it's about strength and endurance.
It's all up here.
Number four, number six, stand up.
Number four go to the right, number six straight up there.
Straight up to the DS.
Number six, breach that ridge.
The next pair over the mountain pass...
How you feeling?
Uh, bit nervous, Staff.
..AFL field commentator...
Right, turn around. ..Abbey Holmes...
Step over ropes.
Hold on two hands with this rope, shuffle on.
Stay where you are.
..and international rugby star Mahalia Murphy.
You don't like heights, do you?
No, Staff.
It's a good (BLEEP) test for you.
Exposure repetition, right?
Exposure repetition every (BLEEP) time.
It's about tuning into that (BLEEP) part of your brain
that allows you to (BLEEP) push past that barrier.
Be confident with this, yeah?
Yes, Staff. Own it.
(MAHALIA SIGHS)
OK. Mount the rope.
OK?
Yes, Staff. Stay calm.
OK, start shuffling out.
Slide your feet, remember.
Keep sliding. Don't stop, that's it.
There you go. Keep going.
Nice, wide strides.
I definitely won't let fear stop me.
I want to be able to show that,
you know, I'm a strong person and no matter
what fear it is, that I'm gonna face it
and take it on and overcome it.
That's it, good.
Good pace.
Good effort number four. Keep going.
Remember your breathing.
Moving carefully, they manoeuvre to the centre of the ravine.
Stay up. Look up. Look up.
But remaining stable on the ropes is taxing.
Go on, keep going. That's good.
At the knot, Staff.
At the knot. OK, just step over it.
Just keep moving, number four.
Don't worry about the rope moving.
Slide your feet and your hands.
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Oh, (BLEEP) hell.
Arms are burning, Staff. Arms are burning.
(ABBEY GROANS)
That's it, number four, keep going.
(ABBEY GROANS) Ignore the pain!
Staff.
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Push through.
Well done, number six, keep going.
Get to that next knot.
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Yes, Staff.
Get your mind away from that pain.
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Struggling to maintain grip, both six and four...
(MAHALIA GROANS)
..are fast running out of energy.
(MAHALIA & ABBEY GROAN, STRUGGLING)
Keep the (BLEEP) noises down for (BLEEP) sake.
(ABBEY WHIMPERS)
Keep going, number four.
I can't, Staff.
Keep going, number four. Staff, I can't!
Concentrate on your breathing. Staff.
Do not let go of the rope.
Staff, I can't! Staff, I can't!
Do not let go of that rope.
(ABBEY CRIES OUT)
Hold on, grip it. There you go. Grip it.
(ABBEY GROANS) Grip the rope over hand.
Number six, get past that next knot.
Come on!
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Go on, keep going, number six.
(ABBEY WHIMPERS)
Staff! Come on!
Staff! Staff!
Coming up...
Firstly, you know
how incredibly proud Elle
and I are of you.
We're proud of everything you do.
..a message from loved ones will make...
Look at that. Beautiful.
..or break the recruits.
Are you OK? Are you alright?
And... We are gonna go all night!
Seven get a move on. Shit.
(BLEEP) holding the team back.
..an agonising beasting...
We will keep going until one of you VWs.
Go. Move!
..forces a voluntary withdrawal.
Move!
Why are you always at the (BLEEP) rear?
It's not (BLEEP) good enough!
(BLEEP) hell, number nine, you are like an empty wetsuit.
Can (BLEEP) stop all this suffering right now.
Give me your (BLEEP) number and they can go to bed.
(GOATS BLEATS)
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Arms are burning, Staff.
Push through. (ABBEY WHIMPERS)
Keep going, number four. Keep sliding your feet.
In a dangerous mountain insertion,
the recruits must negotiate their way
to the centre of constantly moving ropes.
(MAHALIA GROANS) Ignore the pain.
On command, they're to stop off
and hang 100ms above the canyon floor.
Well done, number six, keep going.
Yes, Staff.
To pass, they must outlast their opponent.
I can't, Staff.
Keep going, number four. Do not let go of the rope.
Exhausted, both, number four and number six,
fight the burning arm and leg pain to stay on the ropes.
(ABBEY CRIES OUT)
Go on, keep going, number six.
Number six, get past that next knot.
(MAHALIA GROANS) Come on!
I've definitely had challenges.
Growing up, mum had a car accident,
um, you know, losing my sister,
experiencing some racism through high school.
With my family in the back of my mind, kind of,
was the motive to push through everything and yeah,
it's definitely made me build resilience
and character as a person.
My go to saying is where your mind goes,
your body follows.
I definitely feel like
when my body starts to hurt and starts to really, you know,
want to give up, the mindset controls everything.
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Well done, number six. Keep going.
Staff!
(ABBEY GROANS)
Staff, I can't! Staff, I can't.
Do not let go of that rope.
(ABBEY WHIMPERS)
Hold on, grip it. There you go. Grip it.
Grip the rope, over Staff!
Come on! Staff!
Do not let go of that rope. Staff!
(ABBEY CRIES OUT)
(MAHALIA GROANS) Staff!
Push through!
(ABBEY CRIES OUT)
(BLEEP) hell.
Number six. Yes, Staff?
Continue.
Eyes up.
(MAHALIA GROANS)
Well done, number six, keep going.
Courage and focus.
Continue. All the way!
(MAHALIA GASPS) (BLEEP).
Despite her determination,
number six fails to make the hang position.
As a special forces soldier, you're constantly working
in situations where there is imminent failure.
Turn around.
But it's about throwing yourself
at it anyway.
Having a sense of courage
to complete regardless of the outcome.
Number four,
(BLEEP) hell, heard you from a mile away.
Momentum was good, kept that momentum
but when you stopped, what went wrong?
My... Yeah, that's when I started to freak out and shake.
Start to shake, you start to freak, you start to scream,
you start to give away your location.
You're off that (BLEEP) rope and guess where you are?
You're (BLEEP) hitting the concrete here.
I felt... Never stop.
I felt like my head was in a really good space going up there.
It was just physically my hands...
Physically? No, that's bullshit.
Physically you are (BLEEP) strong as an ox, I've seen you.
I don't care about your hands, I don't care about your forearms,
I don't care about your (BLEEP) arms,
I don't care about your wrists.
It's all in your (BLEEP) head.
Yes, Staff. You know, what you need to do.
Yes, Staff. Go. Move.
Faster number four, faster! Move.
Number 14 stand up, follow me.
Number nine, off you go. Other side.
Yes, Staff. Go.
(BLEEP) solid effort from you, 14, yeah?
Coming in with high expectations from the DS
is the largest recruit, Tim Robards...
Move number 14, move.
..against 57-year-old actor, Craig McLachlan.
Hurry up number nine! Move!
That (BLEEP) climb was (BLEEP).
Wasn't it? I was gassed.
(CRAIG M SIGHS)
Do not (BLEEP) walk, number nine.
As a bloke in his late 50s,
obviously, I am going to be up against,
uh, young bucks.
(CRAIG M SIGHS)
But, um, I've stood up to some horrendous shit.
Come on, number nine.
That required more courage than I ever thought I possessed.
I'm gonna spew.
Hey? You're not gonna spew?
So, would I call myself courageous?
Actually, I think I am.
I've had two wins from this side.
I wanna make that three, OK?
Yes. Yes, Staff.
So, you're gonna (BLEEP) smash this.
(BLEEP) let's go!
Come on, 14.
You look like the (BLEEP) walking dead.
What's wrong?
OK, you can't even answer.
I'm scared of heights, hate heights.
If I get put in a situation where I have to deal with heights,
I remind myself and I go, right,
you've gotta take that step,
you've gotta push yourself
through there because on the other side of that
is a stronger you, it's a better you.
(TIM PANTS HEAVILY)
(BLEEP) hell you're blowing.
It's usually just bicep curls?
(PANTS) Just...
I do a bit of everything, Staff.
If I want to push forward the bigger the challenge,
the, the more reward and I feel that doesn't get much bigger than this.
14, how are you feeling?
It feels so good, scared, tired, sore.
But I'm, uh, you know, try and get the job done.
I'm gonna use that fear
and just (BLEEP) ramp it up and drive it through.
OK, start moving out.
Do not lose to the old boy.
Right.
Go out there, show him who's boss.
Breathe, 14.
There you go.
That's it. Slow down. No need to go fast.
Get into a nice pace, nice rhythm.
That's good.
Slow it down a bit. Save your strength.
Good effort, 14.
Don't worry about the rope moving, just keep shuffling.
Keep sliding your feet.
Breathe, 14.
Take charge of your mind.
You're almost at the first knot.
Number nine, continue!
That's you at the first knot, 14.
Good effort. Keep moving.
Do not lose to the old boy.
So, try and save those arms, number nine.
(CRAIG M GRUNTS)
You'll need them.
Who's got money on number nine?
No one?
Number nine, stop!
OK, focus, number nine.
Moving rapidly, the oldest recruit
reaches the centre ahead of Tim
and must now wait for his much younger opponent.
Courage and focus.
Focus, 14, focus! Straight legs.
Concentrate on your breathing.
Hurry up, number 14! Move!
As Tim struggles along the rope,
Craig must use his diminishing energy to hold his position.
(CRAIG M GRUNTS)
Number 14, stop! Standby!
(CRAIG M GRUNTS, STRUGGLING)
Hang!
(CRAIG M BREATHES HEAVILY)
Timmy should be able to hang there for an hour, shouldn't he?
Yeah. Upper body.
(CRAIG M GROANS)
(TIM SIGHS RAGGEDLY)
(TIM CRIES OUT)
(BLEEP)
(BLEEP) hell, 14.
I think, that's a new record.
You have the grip of a yak.
(BLEEP) built for show, not for tow.
Unfortunately...
Strong effort from you there, number nine.
The old man of selection has outlasted the much stronger Tim.
You're (BLEEP) agile, you're (BLEEP) focused.
Impressing chief instructor Ant.
Number nine, clear!
Good effort, you were the (BLEEP) fastest up there.
You kept that momentum going. Was I?
Well, I'm the old (BLEEP) but I just had to prove to myself...
Yeah. ..that I could do it.
Well, you've (BLEEP) certainly done that.
Stay in that (BLEEP) headspace that you're in now
and you well be here at the end of the (BLEEP) course.
Go. Thanks, Staff.
Go, number nine.
Bergens on in the parade square.
Returning from the harrowing task...
Hurry up.
..the DS have a timely reminder for the tired recruits.
Keep moving!
(TIM EXHALES HEAVILY)
It's gonna get a lot more intense,
a lot harder, a lot longer, a lot more painful.
That's why I'm inducing as much pain as I can.
Sometimes our (BLEEP) body just gives up on us.
This course isn't for everyone.
Know when you're an asset.
Know when you're potential liability.
'Cause moving forward, we'll just leave you behind.
Trust me when I say, it's going to get harder.
The tempo is going to get ramped up.
Do not be that person always lagging behind.
Sometimes the courageous thing to do is to (BLEEP) let go.
Let the team carry on and complete the mission.
On the course, family will be in the back of my mind,
um, pushing me through.
'Cause I do wanna make them proud and,
you know, keep putting smiles on their faces.
But I do want to do what's right by the team and,
yeah, not cost the team in any way.
Things are about to get (BLEEP) ugly.
Go! Move! Move! Hurry up!
If I were dragging the rest of the team down...
(RECRUIT GROANS)
..while it might allow me to VW,
it wouldn't make it easy.
(MATTHEW SIGHS)
Just, I'll go down the back... Yeah, yeah, of course.
..if you can feed it through the doorway.
Are you bleeding?
Yeah, they're actually.
In the dorm, the recruits tend to each other's injuries.
Anybody-anybody else bleeding?
Don't think so.
And square away the camp.
Oh, like butter.
I've got an admission to make.
I had my money on Timmy when you went head-to-head.
Oh, did you? Yes.
I was just determined to get out to the middle quickly.
Yeah.
Did you look down?
Not once. Oh, (BLEEP) I did.
Looked down and Ant was directly below me
and I thought I could shit on him.
(LAUGHTER)
You wicked, wicked man!
Except I would have had to let go of my hands
to pull my pants down.
And then we'd all have to get blasted for it.
Mahls? Mm-hmm?
What happened to your sister if you don't mind...
Oh, she had a heart attack.
Yeah. She was only 24.
Had a heart attack at 24!
Mmm.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, she was on like a lot of medication.
She came down to Sydney for like a week
'cause she had to see the liver doctor...
Mmm.
Like the liver specialist because her liver was bleeding
and in that week she passed away before her appointment.
At home. Yeah.
Just at home? Yeah.
I'm so sorry. That's awful. That's alright. Yeah.
It sucked. So, old were you then?
She was obviously older... 13.
Yeah. Yeah, 13.
That's-that's tragic. Yeah.
My poor mum suffered heaps. Yeah.
Like, she even lost the daughter after,
like at...like at birth, like couple of days after birth.
Did she? Yeah.
Dominique her name was. Yeah?
Yeah.
Oh, what a traumatic time for your mum.
Yeah. Yeah.
Losing my sister when I was younger,
um, really hit my family hard
and we kind of had to really,
you know, grieve our own way.
Experiencing that kind of gave me the,
you know, the importance of,
you know, appreciating your loved ones.
It's definitely made me build resilience
and character as a person and then
I appreciate life so much.
Now, I think, not taking things for granted
and you really use the opportunities
and stuff like that are really important to me and,
you know, appreciating the loved ones
around you and stuff like that.
I really feel like I've learned to, yeah,
appreciate life and people around me a lot more.
(DOOR SQUEAKS)
Still got six.
With the first task of the day completed,
the DS meet to review the progress of the recruits.
This morning's task, the High Mountain Pass,
that was a good test.
Yeah, and facing their fears.
You know, with courage. Yeah.
Who was up first?
7 and 13.
Gandalf and Gollum.
Yeah. (ANT CHUCKLES)
Hang!
Seven really surprised me 'cause I thought number 13,
he's a young lad, he's gonna have the strength.
Exactly, yeah.
13, as soon as that rope cut away, dropped.
Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
Ah, fail, 13.
And seven kept on hanging, it was quite impressive.
Just because number 13 went... Yeah.
..normally, they give up the ghost don't they?
And then like, pfft.
And I was like, "Do not let go,"
and he hung on and hung on
and that's what I loved about number seven to be fair.
Mm. Yeah.
There he was strong.
Second pair up, um, was...
Number four and number six were up next.
(ABBEY & MAHALIA GRUNT & GROAN)
Number six probably did the better out of the two.
She managed to get further out.
(MAHALIA CRIES OUT)
All she lacked really was the hang
but getting to centre, that was hard work anyway.
Mmm. Yeah.
Number four struggled on that, didn't she?
She's scared of heights, what we're looking for on this task
is how do you operate with those fears?
I could hear her echoing... Yeah.
..through the (BLEEP) valley.
Just like that. Yeah, screaming.
Yeah like what the (BLEEP) is going on there?
Staff! Staff!
Yeah, and that was it, wasn't it?
It was a lack of emotional control.
Uh, 9 and 14, um,
was expecting a bit more from 14,
if I'm honest in terms of being able to hang there.
Hurry up, number 14! Move!
Number 14, he's jumping in and out of excuses I think.
Agree.
I'd say number nine had the advantage on that one.
Number nine got out there fast!
Yeah. He was quick.
Wow, talk about someone (BLEEP) embracing every single (BLEEP) hour
in the day of this course...
Yeah.
..and getting stronger and stronger on that learning curve,
staying on the learning curve.
Out of them all, you know,
this is gonna be a life changer for him.
That was a good test to see the pressure of hanging in there,
giving us absolutely everything, showing us
why we should take you onto the final exercise.
So, we need to just thin this group out,
just a little bit more.
We're gonna ramp this (BLEEP) course up
until the (BLEEP) last day,
until the final exercise and when I mean ramp up,
we're gonna (BLEEP) put that pressure on.
Pressure today, we're going to hold that pressure all through the night
and we're gonna do the beastings of all beastings tonight.
(BLEEP) take them to the depths of hell.
Take another soul.
Next...
What I have here are letters from home.
..an emotional decision...
Does anyone not want to read their letter?
..who makes the heartbreaking choice...
No?
Are you sure?
..and... Go!
(BLEEP) get in there!
(WATER SPLASHES)
The day intensifies...
Keep moving! Hurry the (BLEEP) up.
Keep coming, keep coming!
..with a treacherous water extraction.
What the (BLEEP) are you doing?
What the (BLEEP)?
With the DS promising to ramp up the intensity,
the recruits will need to muster
all their physical strength and courage...
(MAHALIA SIGHS HEAVILY)
Head in the game, head in the game.
..to pass the next task.
Courage, just, uh, show a little.
Yeah. Dig deep.
Get out of the (BLEEP) vehicles, come on, let's go.
Start switching on.
Hurry up!
Let's go, let's go! Hurry up!
(HELICOPTER WHIRS)
The selection process is designed to build warriors.
Come on! Hurry up!
Through a series of step-by-step tests,
it's designed to build discipline, grit, determination and courage.
Courage is facing absolutely anything that's in front of you,
to commit to a task, to yourself.
It's about having the courage
in your capabilities.
Listen in very, very, very carefully.
This is a multiple asset insertion and extraction
in and out of water,
OK?
(BLEEP) water in your (BLEEP) face.
(BLEEP) swell.
Everything comes into play.
Everything's gonna be tested right now.
In an emergency extraction behind enemy lines,
the recruits will be transported at high speed
to a designated drop point, battling intense downdraft,
they must make a perilous climb, one at a time,
and make it to the safety of the Blackhawk
in just three minutes.
You've seen the (BLEEP) demonstration there.
OK, monkey see, monkey do. Start breaking it down.
Who's the strongest swimmer?
Who are you gonna leave in the water?
When you climb that ladder, one at a time,
as fast and efficiently as possible.
OK, once you get up that ladder, you're going to be (BLEEP) there,
giving your mucker a (BLEEP) heads up.
Communicate with each other,
you (BLEEP) get the hell out of there.
(BLEEP) start switching on, is that understood?
Yes, Staff. Right, good. Over to you.
(HELICOPTER WHIRS)
OK, number four and number nine.
Fast as you can with your bergens, straight down to the DS.
AFL commentator Abbey and actor Craig...
Faster! Come on!
..are chosen to start the difficult exercise.
(BLEEP) get in there!
Hurry the (BLEEP) up.
Go!
(WATER SPLASHES)
Go!
(WATER SPLASHES)
Hurry up.
Come on then!
You've got limited time. Sort you shit out you two.
Hurry up.
You have a (BLEEP) small window of opportunity.
Go! Let's go! Come on!
Now, we have one, two commands.
Standby and then go.
Standby!
You're going first.
You're going? You're going first.
Go!
(WATER SPLASHES)
Now, in the water,
the pair must climb
to the safety of the Blackhawk...
in only three minutes.
(HELICOPTER WHIRS)
Go! Get up there.
Go! Go!
Fucking get up there.
Move!
Hurry up!
Go!
But as Abbey starts the precarious climb...
Let's go!
..the cyclonic downdraft of the Blackhawk
pushes Craig away from the drop point.
Come on, let's go!
Now, come on, let's go!
Go!
Go! Go!
Yes! Right there!
I grew up on the coast. I grew up in water.
But as a very young kid I was caught in a rip.
And when you're going under for that third and final time...
Move!
..not giving in to your fear
that's where courage starts.
Let's go!
Exhausted from the swim...
Faster! Faster!
..Craig starts the hazardous climb...
One step at a time!
..as the precious seconds tick away.
Keep coming, keep coming,
keep coming, keep coming!
Come on!
If you can get over that initial hurdle
find the courage and the wherewithal...
Keep going, keep going, keep going!
..all the rest of the hurdles
you'll take in a single bound.
Yes, both hands here, both hands here.
This is a challenge like no other but I'm here,
I'm committed and here I am doing it.
Keep pushing! Come on!
It's all good, Craig boy!
Get your hands up, hands up, come on!
Both hands here, both hands here.
Come over here!
You've got to reach, got to reach, got to reach!
Keep coming, hold on here.
Here, here, good, good!
Up!
Good! Good!
Legs, get in.
Braving the treacherous conditions
and boarding the Blackhawk within the time limit,
Craig and Abbey are first to pass the task.
(HELICOPTER WHIRS)
Be courageous. Be courageous.
(MAHALIA SIGHS)
Now, attempting the extraction mission,
number 13 Matt Mitcham...
Move up.
..and number seven, Craig Challen.
Go.
The rib to ladder extraction is a highly courageous task.
When I give you the command, you will prepare to jump.
You grab an important piece of information...
Go!
..you have to get off of target and be picked up.
It's the most extreme and dangerous way
of getting on and off a task.
This task is a great test of courage.
They put one foot wrong, this could be disaster.
Go! Go! Go!
Get up there!
Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
Hurry up! Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Do I have the grit?
I would like to hope I do.
Come on! Let's go!
OK.
Go to the ladder!
Let's (BLEEP) go!
How you respond to fear, that's 100% courage...
That's it!
That's what I want to see!
I don't quit even
when it's obvious that I should.
Braving the conditions to board the Blackhawk,
numbers 7 and 13 are successful.
Felt like that ladder went forever.
Oh, I know. (ABBEY LAUGHS)
My arms.
The final pair,
two of the strongest contenders on the course...
You will go first.
..are number 14, Tim... Standby.
..and number six, Mahalia.
Standby!
Go! Go!
(WATER SPLASHES)
(TIMER BEEPS)
Move! Keep moving!
That window is closing!
Move!
Making it to the ladder first is number six.
That's it. Good.
He's (BLEEP)
hanging underneath the ladder.
But before she reaches the safety of the cabin...
(BLEEP) it looks like he's going to climb.
..number 14 ignores the brief to climb one at a time.
One at a time we (BLEEP) said.
What the (BLEEP) are you doing?
Who is that? What the (BLEEP)!
Yeah.
What the (BLEEP) are you doing?
Jeopardising not only his own safety,
but also Mahalia's.
Number 14!
Get out.
Get away!
Get out!
Good.
Come on! Come on!
Come on! Come on board.
Pull the ladder up! Pull the ladder!
All the way!
Ignoring the safety protocol...
You have no (BLEEP) clue!
..number 14 and 6 have both failed the task.
Think about your (BLEEP) actions.
(BLEEP) fail.
Sit down there in your pairs.
In your pairs, your little gap. Right listen in.
Remember what I said,
everything that we do serves a purpose.
Remember that. Everything.
What were you told about the climb?
Uh, one at a time.
One at a time.
Loud and clear.
Loud and clear. One at a time.
Loud and clear, loud and clear. Yes, Staff.
Number 14. Yes, Staff.
You had the (BLEEP) perfect demonstration, didn't you?
The perfect demonstration.
You saw two go before you, didn't you?
Yes, Staff.
Do not start to crack your own (BLEEP) detail
at this stage of the course, you (BLEEP) understand me.
Yes, Staff.
(BLEEP). Go.
Faster, come on!
Hurry up.
(BLEEP) move! Go!
(LANGUAGE UNKNOWN TO CAPTIONER)
Well, it's day eight.
Good job.
Yeah, we've done really well getting this far.
Is today day eight?
Yes. Is it?
Mmm.
Did you think it was day seven? Yeah.
I thought so.
No, that was definitely yesterday.
I'll be (BLEEP).
Holy shit, aye?
The day is not done. No, I know.
Everyone on the parade square.
Oh, god, here we go.
As day gives way to night,
the DS have another unexpected turn for the drained recruits.
Just come, Matty.
Matt.
OK.
Let's go, number 13, get in there.
What I have here are letter from home.
It's down to you
whether you want to read them or not.
Hopefully, they give some of you the strength
to push through.
Others, you may not want to read them.
That's completely up to you.
When I was on operations
I wouldn't allow any distractions
to come in.
Any letters from home I would burn,
just in case an external distraction
altered my mindset.
Does anyone not want to read their letter?
Number 13? Yes, Staff.
Number 14? Yes, Staff.
Number seven? Yes, Staff.
Number nine?
Yes, Staff.
Number four?
I might read it, Staff.
Number six? No, Staff.
No? No, Staff.
You don't want to read yours?
No, Staff. Come here.
Grab it.
Run around the parade square.
Burn it and go back into the accommodation.
The reason why I'm doing SAS
is I wanna prove to many people out there that
you can do anything you want no matter
who you are or where you come from.
I love my family
but I'm guilty of being distracted very easily.
(MAHALIA SIGHS)
And when you lose focus, you can go off track
and I want to be at the end,
and I will do every I can to be at the end.
You thought it would break you?
Yeah. Who was it?
Probably my mum. Yeah.
Like I know it would've, like, hit me.
Mmm. Yeah.
And I know they will be thinking of me so...
Yeah. I'm sweet.
Yeah.
Do you want to go first or shall I?
You go.
OK.
"Bub.
"Words can't describe
"how proud I am of you.
"I hope you can see now
"what I have seen in you all these years.
"You're the most talented,
"kind and special person I've ever known
"and the love of my life."
(MATTHEW SIGHS) Aw.
"I have every faith you'll get through
"this and come out the other side a better person."
I haven't been the best husband.
You know, I've lived with anxiety for my whole life.
He obviously knows
that I'm an Olympic champion,
I've done these amazing things.
So, it's hard for him to see who that person was
and so, I want to bring some of that old person
back and be a better husband.
"I love you Matthew Mitcham.
"I can't wait to give you a big kiss and hug but until then, stay strong.
"Do it for the gays.
"Finish, finish."
(MATTHEW & CRAIG M CHUCKLES)
That's-that's cute.
I want to bring some of that athlete back
and start tackling my life goals.
(TIM EXHALES HEAVILY)
You got this. OK.
Already teared up before reading. (ABBEY LAUGHS)
"To my darling husband.
"First you know how incredibly
"proud Elle and I are of you.
"The SAS course is tough.
"Bloody tough, I know.
"Take each day as they come and focus on the task at hand.
"Remember anticipation is worse than participation."
(RECRUITS LAUGH & EXCLAIM)
My wife is scared shitless for me.
She thinks I'm gonna fall about.
I know, when she did it last year,
I was, like, "I'm glad you're doing it
"because there's no way I could do it at that stage."
Mentally I could do it but physically I couldn't.
My body is starting to let me down in certain ways
and it can affect me as a person,
my energy with my wife, with my kid.
So, my motivation to do the course is to prove to myself
that I'm not done yet.
"Don't worry about what's next, you can't control it
"and if you don't beat me, you'll never live it down."
(RECRUITS LAUGHS)
"If that's not enough motivation for you I don't know what is.
"Love number 12."
Aw!
And Elle drew this.
Aw, that's-that's gold.
Do you want me to read yours for you?
Nah, I'll be OK I think.
When you're away on operations in special forces
having a letter from home
can sometimes be
a double-edged sword.
"We all know that you have been
through so much in life,
"that you can get through anything
"when you put your mind to it.
"Love you more than anything, Keegs XOXO."
Some will draw strength.
It can raise your morale, it can give you a sense of purpose
and understand and a connection with your loved ones back home.
"I miss you so very much and it's not the same here
"at home without you.
"You've always had a way of rising to the occasion
"and taking on any new challenge
"with determination,
"perseverance and that all so cool
"and calm manner of yours."
'You have grits. You've got this Craig.
"Love you lots, Heather."
Sometimes I've seen the opposite effect.
If people are just a little bit emotionally fragile,
then, it can them into a downward spiral
and ultimately this will bleed out onto the battlefield.
OK, well,
just go with me on this
because I didn't pack my reading glasses.
Let's see if your arms are long enough.
(RECRUITS LAUGHS)
"My darling Mick." That's me.
"I'm not gonna be too soppy or too romantic
"because we both agreed that longer
"I don't hear from you, the better.
"Because it means you're getting through the course.
"You are amazing and I'm in awe of what you have achieved."
After the shock of everything that has been said about me,
I suffer extreme social anxiety.
I find it very difficult even to go to a local cafe.
Poor old Vanessa's had to get my coffee now
for five years.
She must...
(LAUGHS) She must hate that.
"You will come out of it a better, stronger person.
"Just keep going, my love, just keep going for both of us."
Hard to imagine, isn't it?
A bloke who shared jokes with the queen mum
and performed in front of 25,000 people
in a football stadium
and now I can't walk to my friend's cafe.
That's profound social anxiety.
"I'll be there at the end, I adore you.
"Yours, Messy."
The big thing that I'd love to be able to take away
from this is being able to feel safe again in the company of others.
Oh, what a gift!
Can I have a group cuddle? Should we have a group cuddle?
Yes! Yes!
Are you OK? Are you alright?
Mwah!
Bring it in. Yeah.
Alright. Well done, guys.
Proud of each and every one of you for, yeah.
Same, same. Same. Good job.
Coming up...
(DS YELL & BANG WALLS)
Know why you're (BLEEP) here.
..the beasting to end all beastings.
We will not stop until somebody VWs.
Who will outlast the brutality?
Think about what you're doing here!
And who will succumb to the pain?
Give us your (BLEEP) numbers and (BLEEP) off.
Even though I didn't get to read mind
I felt a bit of comfort from your guys.
Aw. Yeah, good.
Like to hear that youse got it.
Yeah. Makes me feel good too.
Yep.
Once you set your course you've just got to...
Go through with it, don't you?
After a psychological and emotional test
of letter from their loved ones, the recruits turn in for the night.
But the day is far from over as the DS now want to see
if their connection with home has strengthened their resolve
or broken it.
Making good on their promise to deliver an almighty beasting.
(DS YELLS & BANG WALLS)
Let's go!
Wakey, wakey!
Come on!
Let's (BLEEP) look lively, number nine.
Hurry the (BLEEP) up.
Determined to remove the weakest recruit...
Come on!
..the DS will subject them to relentless pain and suffering,
not stopping until someone
voluntarily withdraws from the course.
Get down in the press up position, hurry up.
Hold it.
Hurry up, number (BLEEP) seven.
Unless you want to give me your (BLEEP) armband.
In the (BLEEP) press up position.
You know, why you're (BLEEP) here.
This will keep going until one of you VW.
I (BLEEP) mean it.
You wanna prolong your suffering then (BLEEP) stay here.
If not, give us your number and (BLEEP) off.
If I was in a situation where VW was a thought,
I would then think about the reason why I started SAS.
The challenge, my family, inspiring others.
I don't want to inspire people to give up.
When I say go, you will sprint round the parade square
and back onto your spots.
Go! Move! Hurry up!
Do not be last! Go, go!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Go, keep going.
(BLEEP) catch him, number four.
Come on, you're asleep. Catch him.
Overtake him.
Don't think about being last, number seven.
See if you can get on pace. Hurry up!
Number 14, you can stop all this suffering right now.
Give me your (BLEEP) number and they can go to bed.
It's going to be a long night, isn't it?
We're doing the weak a favour!
Hurry up. Catch the person in front.
Number 14, I suggest you have a (BLEEP) good look at yourself
and have a good look at the (BLEEP) team
and maybe do the honourable thing.
Stop them from suffering.
It's gonna be a long night.
Now, it's going to be a long (BLEEP) night.
Trust me.
Especially, the speed of you (BLEEP).
Hurry up, number four.
(BLEEP) get back on your spot, (BLEEP) start banging out press ups.
Hurry up.
Start banging them out, go. Press ups, go.
Start banging out press ups.
They're not press ups, are they?
Get that arse down.
Get off your (BLEEP) knees, number four!
And start banging out proper press ups.
Hurry up number nine.
Number nine, with this running, you're losing.
If you're (BLEEP) suffering, I suggest you do the right thing!
At the moment there's a lot of doubt with things.
There's a doubt in the ability of my body now physically...
And we will not stop until somebody VWs.
..and to know that you've given it everything you've got.
You can't ask more of yourself than that.
I didn't come all this way
to be taken out.
When I say go, you will all jump into the tank.
Go!
Move! Go!
Move! Move!
Let's see some aggression!
(WATER SPLASHES)
Consider that a treat.
Get here and start (BLEEP) crawling.
Go. Hurry up!
Get past the person in front of you.
Get your arse down, number four.
Come on, seven!
(BLEEP) dead, number seven.
Get in here, number seven.
You are (BLEEP) miles behind.
Number seven, (BLEEP) hell,
look at the rest of your (BLEEP) team.
Why are you always at the rear?
It's not (BLEEP) good enough.
Yes, Staff. Not good enough!
You is a (BLEEP) burden.
Yes, Staff.
Get your arse down and start crawling.
Seven, get a move on!
You're holding the team back.
Beastings are an essential part of SAS selection.
Now, number nine, you are like an empty wetsuit.
It wears the recruits down,
it pushes them to a state of exhaustion.
It's here that we separate the weak
from the strong.
'Cause we are gonna go all night!
Unless you're (BLEEP) dying, number nine,
I suggest you get (BLEEP) crawling.
Do you think it's good enough number nine?
(CRAIG M PANTS HEAVILY)
Do you think it's good enough?
No, Staff. No, Staff.
Move faster then!
Do you think the rest of your team think
it's good enough number nine?
No, Staff.
If your body's gonna give up on you now, tomorrow,
they will not last.
Fact!
What's up?
What's wrong?
It's my...it's my...
Stand up. Stand up.
Go there.
Go and see the chief instructor.
80% face, 20% effort right now, isn't it?
Don't think we know you're (BLEEP) secrets.
Come here, number nine.
What do you want to do number nine? Make a decision.
I just got to see the doctor.
What do you want to do?
Make a decision.
I do not...
If you can't carry on, you're going to let the team down
tomorrow on the ground.
I suggest you (BLEEP) hand your number in and stop the suffering.
You're not going to be able to (BLEEP) make it tomorrow
when you (BLEEP) do shit ten times as hard as this.
Make a decision!
(ABBEY PANTS HEAVILY)
Give us your number 'cause it's not gonna
get any (BLEEP) easier number nine!
(TIM PANTS HEAVILY)
Don't be a (BLEEP) idiot, give me a number
and this will (BLEEP) stop!
Feet up! 6 inches above the ground.
Make a (BLEEP) difference.
In a ferocious beasting
designed to force
a voluntary withdrawal...
Get your feet up now.
..number nine, Craig, has a decision to make.
Withdraw and stop the suffering for his fellow recruits...
'Cause it's not gonna get any (BLEEP) easier, number nine!
..or continue on
until he or someone else can go no further.
What do you want to do?
Don't be a (BLEEP) idiot!
Give me your number and this will (BLEEP) stop.
Psychologically I have what it takes.
I've worked too hard
and faced too many challenges
to just pack it in.
Make a decision now.
I did so well today...
(MOCK STAMMERS) Well, make a decision.
Today, tomorrow's a different day!
(TIM PANTS HEAVILY)
(INTENSE MUSIC)
I can't let them down.
Too much pain there.
Look at me.
You've done the right thing.
'Cause tomorrow you'd have been left on the (BLEEP) ground
like a (BLEEP) idiot by yourself with no one to come and pick you up.
I didn't want to let you down, Staff.
No. You haven't let us down. (BLEEP) done amazing.
Absolutely amazing. Your body's (BLEEP) given up on you.
That's it. Amazing. Tomorrow, you won't last.
Fact. Fact.
It's going out doing the right thing for yourself and for your muckers.
And going out with (BLEEP) pride (BLEEP) having done
everything on this course.
(BLEEP) amazing effort. Amazing effort.
Right go into the medical room and wait out for the doctor.
Let's go! Move!
Hurry up! Hurry up!
For me to take my arm band off...
What's that number six? What the (BLEEP) is that?
..I will have to be broken, you know, physically.
Good effort, number nine.
If the machine breaks down, there's nothing I can do about it.
Incredible.
Thanks, Staff.
Stand up! Hurry up! Get up quick!
Satisfied with number nine's withdrawal,
the DS call an end to the torture.
You're in for a (BLEEP) rude awakening tomorrow
and the (BLEEP) next day if you make it that (BLEEP) far.
A rude awakening.
I'm actually trying to do some of you a (BLEEP) favour.
Rather than (BLEEP) losing your dignity
and your pride out there.
Because some of you are just not (BLEEP) cutting it at the moment.
When I say go, disappear into the accommodation.
Sort your shit out.
Sort yourselves out.
And (BLEEP) stand by.
Go! Move!
Move number seven!
Don't be last!
Do not be last!
Surprise, surprise, number seven.
Oh, my god. Oh, my god.
(ABBEY PANTS HEAVILY)
Far out.
(RECRUIT COUGHS)
(BLEEP) sorry
but if we're doing another (BLEEP) beasting I'm out.
Come out here, I'll hose you off.
(CRAIG M GROANS)
Staff, I'm just so (BLEEP) gutted.
Listen, listen, listen.
You wouldn't have been able to tomorrow.
You've done the right thing,
you've made the right choice, you know that?
You've done the right thing.
You'd end up (BLEEP) seriously hurting yourself
or seriously
ruining everything you've done up to now on this course.
I had such a great day today.
I've seen you (BLEEP) change over (BLEEP) night.
I've seen you let down your (BLEEP) guard overnight.
This is the reason why I do this course.
People like you.
It's gonna (BLEEP) change you and change your (BLEEP) life
and change your world
and I wanted you going out on your (BLEEP) shield,
not being left out on the (BLEEP) ground.
Very selfless (BLEEP) decision there.
A great decision to make for the team because...
Couldn't do it to them. No.
It's been...
Honestly, it's been such a pleasure having you on my course
and you'll be someone that sticks in my head
for a (BLEEP) very long time.
Oh, same, same.
I mean that. Muckers for life mate.
Yeah. Thanks for having me.

(ON PHONE) I've never been so glad not to hear
from you in my entire life for this long.
Are you OK?
Yeah. No, good.
Look I've made it all the way
can you believe to the midnight of the eighth day?
(ON PHONE) Unbelievable.
I... I'm...I'm blown away. I can't believe it.
Well, I've just...
(ON PHONE) Oh, my god, you must have some stories.
I've just been dragged straight out of the dunk pond,
the ice pond thing.
Rolling around in the dirt and then I said, "Listen, I'm...I'm...I'm...
"My goose is cooked."
(ON PHONE) Oh, god, I'm so proud of you.
We're all so proud of you. (LAUGHS)
It's unbelievable.
What they bring to the table beyond pain...
(LAUGHS)
..physical pain, has been extraordinary.
Beyond what I imagined it could be.
It's a gruelling, um,
stressful...
But profoundly powerful thing to do.
(ON PHONE) I love you. Love you.
(ON PHONE) (BLOWS KISS) Bye. Bye-bye.
If you can get through challenges
and you can be stronger for it,
then the challenge is worth it.
I did come into the course
with all sorts of personal issues,
having gone a number of years of trauma really.
I really lost sight of who I was.
I'm leaving with a real sense of who I am.
I'm leaving with trust in people again.
Well, it's been a life changing experience really.
I feel very privileged to be invited along.
