Guys, we've got to move on. Let's go.
- Coming. - Wait.
Yeah. Coming.
Take your marks
and go!
Two boxes enough?
Yeah. Lightweight.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, I know. I'm so excited. It's gonna be the best season yet.
Hachi,
Kyuu.
Put it in! Give me the energy!
You're swimmers, not starfish.
No!
Sprints aren't quick enough guys! Come on!
Rowan, why are you sitting so low?
Feet down, Caleb.
Arms, Neil, arms.
Has anyone here run before?
Bunch of amateurs that won't make the cut.
- I can do it myself. - Annie, I'm just trying to help.
And up.
Good. One more, tight on the way down.
Up!
- Hey! - What?
What was that?
Yes!
Yes! Yeah!
No!
You're still too slow.
Again!
- So how'd that feel? - Good.
- Don't wanna do anymore squats? - Nah.
- Had enough? - Nah.
What does it say?
- Who do you think runs the world? - Girls, of course.
We're strong chicks in sport.
We're similar age and all live together.
Agreements have been forged on less.
I like it, it's like a mantra or something.
I saw you working hard, Jackson.
Heavy rotation on the free, Annabel.
Medley athletes, good job. We've got pyramids next week.
A difficult program.
Your modelling agents can wait, Ed.
We're actually from Fair Sport Australia.
Edward Proxy, we need you to come with us.
What's going on?
Remember to go to the recovery center.
Hot and cold baths will do you good.
There's no way I'm freezing my ass off, and dethawing it on a Friday night.
I'm going to the toga party.
Toga party!
I'm gonna go to the party.
- Will I see you there? - No, I'm gonna go recover.
Wait.
- I'll come to yours later? - Yeah? All right.
Come on, Murph. I'll come.
Why don't they recover. It's only ten minutes.
Just us every day.
That was harder than I meant.
Have you bought shoes yet?
Nah. I don't have the money.
Syl.
- Mark, you don't have to-- - No.
- I transferred you 100. - You didn't have to.
Don't argue, okay? Just buy them.
Enjoy yourself on the sunny coast.
- You deserve it. - Thanks.
It's all right.
- Let's go. Come on. Back to work! - Yeah.
- Alone at last. - What?
Nothing.
- Murph? - Yeah?
I feel weird saying this
and like, to be honest, maybe it's not my place,
but, I saw Sam out.
- And he was with someone. - Yeah, I know.
- Have you broken up? - No.
Am I missing something?
- He wants to try an open a relationship. - Fuck! Since when?
I haven't agreed to it.
I don't want to talk about it. I just need to figure myself out.
They weren't meant to test us for a month.
- Coach said-- - Ed.
What's the test going to say?
I just can't believe…
- Are you on steroids? - Steroids?
No.
A banned substance?
Do you remember that international coach from six months ago?
Yeah.
- Well he said this stuff… - What stuff?
This stuff was gonna help me recover.
It's not steroids. You know I'd never do that.
But…
Well, I just thought it was this cool recovery aid, and Yui…
You know I would never cheat.
Come on, you have to believe me.
Well, I think it's weird if you come to lunch if we're going to break up.
Yeah, Sam, I'm just not sure about this whole open relationship thing.
I know I need to make a decision.
Chelsea?
No, Sam, I didn't go to the press. I don't know who did. Maybe her parents?
I've asked Mum and Dad not to mention her.
- I'd appreciate it if you did the same. - Annie!
Okay, bye.
It's nice to see you, Annie.
It's too bad Sam feels under the weather.
I cooked his favorite.
How's your hobby going, love?
- My hobby? - Your running around.
It's not a hobby. It's a profession.
- Do you get paid? - Well, no.
Sounds like a hobby.
Oh, your brother just got tenure.
Good for James.
Still we can't have it all.
At least you have the guy.
I'd be so worried if all you had going for you
was this athletics thing.
It's not all I have.
Sam'll be a doctor. He can take care of you.
He's not. I'm gonna get a degree.
- Sam has really got things happening. - About that…
Don't tell me you're having problems.
Every relationship has problems. You probably just need to say sorry.
- It's not a "say sorry" thing. - He's the best thing in your life.
- Your grades-- - Are fine.
- Your career is non-existent. - I'm an athlete.
- You said you didn't have any money. - I don't.
No money sounds like no career to me, Annie.
Is it really the best time to be moving out?
- After Chelsea-- - It was time.
So, how are your new housemates?
- Yeah, good. - Good.
I don't know them well yet.
But it's good to be with other student athletes
sharing the same routine.
- And-- - Annie, you play your cards right,
and you and Sam will be married in a few years.
Just say sorry.
You and Sam will make beautiful babies, and this will be behind you.
Think she knew?
Of course. They were dating.
I don't care who his father is.
- A cheat's a cheat. - Welcome, everyone.
I'm sure that this is going to be our best year yet.
We've got some athletes competing.
Some promising sports stars of tomorrow.
How'd you go?
A hundred grams over.
On the bike. Let's go.
Come on. Sweat it out.
As I used to be an elite athlete myself,
I'll give it to you straight.
Come on!
That's it.
Sooner or later, in the world of elite sport,
you'll have to make a choice.
Sport has to be your number one priority, always.
It can't be a boyfriend,
or a girlfriend,
or a side passion, or even a degree.
I'm probably not meant to say this, but elite sport demands a choice.
With squatted bench done, dead lifts are coming up.
Elite competition will push you to the limits,
to the edge.
We've got two options.
Either we keep it at the same weight…
If you are not living there…
…or we add an extra five kilos,
and we go for the win.
…you're taking up too much space.
Let's fucking do it.
- Yeah? - Go for the win.
Tim, we're gonna go for 200.
Sylvia Orman's called for 200 kilos, a personal best attempt.
- Let's go. - And if she is successful,
it will be enough to win.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Sylvia Orman!
We need white lights for at least two of the three judges
in order to get a good lift today.
Come on, this is it, let's go!
- Go, Syl! - That's moving really nicely.
Hold!
Puts it down. A white light there.
Yes!
Red light from center judge.
- Oh, that's a white light, great lift. - Yes!
Yes!
Why make this choice?
Sport gives you purpose.
Or it can,
if you let it.
- Yes! - Well done, Sylvia.
I understand that some of you are still…
reeling from the tragedy last summer.
Sport is brutal,
and I would urge anyone to get help,
if you need it.
Grief counselling is available to everyone,
and, the Falk Family has started a…
a scholarship that any Institute athlete can apply for,
and it's…
it's in Chelsea's name.
All right, thanks, Billy.
Wordy as usual.
Scott Vickers, head of The Institute.
It's not best to dwell on the past.
We're not concerned with normal people who want normal lives.
The agony and the ecstasy,
that's sport.
Maybe some of you can find that sort of thing in something else,
but we're here,
I'm here,
to help the very few, the top of you, reach your potential.
And believe me, there will only be a few.
It is a privilege to be here.
This institute does not tolerate weakness.
Thank you.
Oh, I wish I didn't bomb out my squats.
It's a win, Syl. Take it.
Do you have a life outside of me and the gym?
If you must know,
I've got a date this weekend.
Really?
- You remember that hottie from the gym? - Oh, Ellen?
It's Elenore.
Right.
She's pretty, eh?
Yeah.
She is.
Sylvia!
Well?
I won.
- Whoa! - That's great.
- No big deal. - Winning is all that matters.
- We need to get you some sort of hobby. - Just ask my parents. I already have one.
- Who wants food? - Me. I'm starving.
I had to cut down three kilos for this comp,
so, keen for a re-feed.
I don't know much about you girls other than your sports.
That's about it, really. Sport.
I'm sure there's more to you than that.
Not really. I don't want more.
Don't you have a boyfriend?
About time we changed things up around here, ladies!
Hens before men,
chicks before dicks,
and holes before poles.
Are you dating anyone?
Nup, single life, baby.
I just play things casually.
Wouldn't want to miss out an opportunity.
You're allowed to have your own life.
Mum really wanted me to come train here.
Para swimming in Japan is hard. They've got all these rules like,
I wouldn't be able to dye my hair any color than black
if I wanted to compete.
- What? - What?
And your boyfriend?
He's a swimmer too?
Yeah, but his urine just tested positive for a banned substance.
Which one, was it a human growth hormone?
Anabolic steroids or a recovery aid?
I think it's a recovery drug.
He said he did it accidentally, that an old American coach gave it to him, but…
I don't know if I believe him.
I check everything I put in my body,
like cold and flu meds, pain stuff.
Even my smoothies.
But I don't know, maybe he trusted his coach.
My coach is the only person I trust.
Oh my God. Let's play Tinder.
Come on, download it.
There's not a lot of talent out there, but…
are you completely straight? Bi?
- Yeah, straight. - Haven't decided?
- Doesn't matter because-- - I'm sorry, guys.
I got to go. I'll see you later.
Was it something I said?
Hey.
Do you love me?
- What? - Do you love me?
Like, I'm trying to understand, Sam.
Why you want to be with other people if you love me?
You're the only person I've ever loved.
Annie, I love you.
I just think, if we can both explore our sexualities,
we'll be better together.
Aren't you like,
going to get attached emotionally
to people you're sticking your genitals inside?
I feel like you're not making a choice, Sam.
I won't get attached.
Okay.
Seriously?
- Yeah. Okay. - Yeah?
Go!
Now listen, there's a lot of stuff being said today.
but let me remind you,
in Australia, it's innocent until proven guilty.
So while Ed--
one of our athletes
is under scrutiny,
don't speculate, and go running your mouths like a galah.
Let's focus on your training.
- I'm gonna say something. - It's not her fault.
It's not her fault.
He's made us look bad, Yui.
Australia's going to think us swimmers are a bunch of cheats.
- Let's go. - Sorry.
Physical and mental health are linked to heart conditions like…
What do you think, Annie?
Sorry, what's the question?
- Cardiovascular toxicity. - What?
Caleb, would you like to answer?
Yeah, it's cardiovascular toxicity.
Check the blackboard for all upcoming assessment information.
See you next week.
I'm not good at this… Uni.
I'd much rather be out there running.
You're actually switched on,
but you don't seem especially passionate about cardiovascular toxicity.
- Is anyone? - Actually, yeah.
What I'm saying is, you'd get good grades if you tried.
Why bother?
I don't love anything besides sport.
Hey, Murphy?
Yeah.
Wait up!
I know why you looked familiar at the gym.
- Oh, yeah? - So you're like, super smart?
You knew that answer on operant conditioning or whatever.
I just read the textbook.
You read the textbook?
Yeah, weren't we meant to?
Nobody actually reads those.
Ngulum, Sylvia! It's David here.
Yeah, it's just the head of Indigenous services.
What tribe are you a part of?
The Aurukun country.
Cool. I don't really know much about Indigenous stories.
Such a problem the way they teach it in schools.
What's the Sunshine Coast country?
- The Gubbi Gubbi people. - Oh, okay.
I'm from up north actually.
So I got to hear my dream time stories from my family.
So cool.
I was just going to grab a coffee. Do you want one, if you want?
Yeah, let's hang.
Cool. It's just around the corner. It's really cute.
Don't forget to do your homework this week. Read chapter three.
It's ridiculous, right?
I've seen them together on campus. He's an Olympian.
Like an actual Olympian. Not a Paralympian.
And he models.
I've seen him in ads and stuff,
so I never knew why he was dating her,
but I guess it makes sense now.
We've got some officials from Fair Sport coming to supervise these,
especially after last summer's unfortunate event.
Yeah, so fill 'em out accurately.
Keep in mind that mental strength is imperative to all elite athletes.
- Why didn't you come training? - Not feeling great.
Thank you.
Good. Awesome. Good.
Annie!
Can you stay behind?
Maybe you need a break?
Yeah, maybe.
Are you okay, Chelsea?
I'm fine.
Do you guys believe in heaven?
I believe in life after death. Reincarnation.
People's souls being reborn over and over again.
I find it strange here in Australia
how people don't believe in life after death.
Not really being spiritual at all.
I was taught about the dream time.
It's kind of awesome.
There's this concept of everywhen
and the land being inhabited of ancestral figures.
- Kind of like superheroes. - Same as Shinto.
My mum said that the dream time is complex,
but it refers to eternity and creation.
I know it's not heaven, but it's close to it in a way.
I wouldn't have thought that's what you believed, Sylvia.
Well, I think it's impossible for energy to just disappear.
Like, something has to happen right?
Everywhen…
You never talk about Chelsea.
Wasn't she your best friend?
Yeah she is…
Was.
You can talk to us if you want to.
There was just too much pressure on her.
She didn't start out like that. She used to…
She used to be the one that laughed the loudest.
It just shows that it can happen to anyone, right?
Best to just focus on the future.
Back and forths. Sprints.
The chase.
100% intensity.
When your partner gets over the line, you go. Okay?
Those who fall behind will have to learn to chase.
Go!
Annie shouldn't be catching you that quickly, Piper.
Take a step back, Annie.
Bet she says, "Has anyone run before?"
- at least three times. - Two.
And go.
Terrible form, Annie.
Even worse, Piper.
Has anyone here run before?
Have you lost that weight we talked about, Ella?
I'm trying!
- Hey. - You were good.
Really? I don't think Robin thought so.
Nah, who cares.
Recovery?
I'm gonna go home and stretch, but I'll see you soon.
- Yeah, okay. - Bye.
See? She said it three times.
It was two, you massive cheat.
So you were paying attention.
You're too competitive, Murph.
- You're going down. - I'm not.
I'm going to win on pure determination alone.
- Yes! - Right.
So, I just thought I'd take this opportunity
to see how you've been going.
- With the open relationship? - Yeah.
Yeah. It's a bit weird, I guess.
- You missed a couple. - Yeah. Did it on purpose.
So, I just thought we should probably establish some ground rules.
Okay.
So no emotional connection to anyone except each other.
Got it.
And no one from the track team.
- Because… - It would be weird.
Exactly, yes.
I'm going to go get us some drinks.
- Coke for you? - Can you make it diet?
Of course. And a vodka Red Bull for me.
Sam, States is in two weeks.
It's not going to affect me.
I'm just having one, so I can still get us home.
Okay.
Vodka Red Bull and a diet Coke, please?
Come on.
Someone will see us. I don't want to break the rules.
Coach said I could train here by myself with all the…
Look, I promise we have permission.
- I don't! - Then we'll come clean Monday morning.
If we come clean Monday.
You can't lift me.
Want to bet?
Whoa. Put me down!
- Told you I could. - Sorry.
Oi!
Who wears the pants in your relationship?
Your mum does! Wanker.
- Hey, is your wrist still bad? - No. Whatever.
When does this thing finish?
- What, the movie? - Yeah.
A couple of hours. Why?
Got a guy coming around.
Anything serious?
Nah, just a one off, I reckon.
I can't do a one night stand.
I end up talking too much and then I start--
And then I start liking them and then,
I feel bad, so, I cook 'em breakfast
and before you know it, we're three years in.
Specific.
No, I'm…
I'm keen for a relationship.
I know it's early, but I really like Elenore.
She's the only girl I've liked ever since…
Do you ever feel like you want something proper one day?
Not from whoever this guy is who's coming around.
I guess you're committed to sport, right?
- Of course. - I'd never choose a relationship over it.
I get it. Married to sport.
And committed to my coach.
You're the best relationship I've ever had.
You think everyone hates me?
I never felt like you cared about what everyone else thinks.
But I do.
Did you take the drugs?
I didn't know.
You didn't know what?
That it would test positive?
I'm saying I didn't know.
I know you're such an honest person, Yui.
I love that about you.
But I wouldn't lie.
Truly?
Truly.
Okay. I believe you.
I'm so excited for us to train at The Institute.
It's gonna be the best season yet.
Training buddies.
It's gonna be so good.
- Good wrap. - Thanks.
- I'm going to hit the gym. - Wait, I've got a better idea.
Morning, gorgeous.
Morning.
So I've got to go to the gym.
Awesome.
So I've got to go.
And why don't I wait here? It's early.
It's not that early.
And when you get back, we can take it up a level.
Or a set.
Oh, I think you mean take up the weight.
A set's an amount of repetitions.
So I'm not actually looking for anything.
- No. - Okay. Yeah, I get it.
I'll see you on campus.
Yeah, sorry, I'm coming.
- The traffic is terrible. - Don't mind me, all alone.
Get a life.
- See you soon. - Okay, bye.
- Do you hate me? - What?
- Where's this coming from? - Never mind.
Nobody who knows you could ever hate you, Murph.
Are we talking about Sam?
Look, maybe he's like intimidated.
- I know lots of guys would be. - My brother was the same.
Girls should be allowed to be fast or strong.
Whatever they want to be.
Whatever they are.
But most of the guys I know,
they can't stand it if I beat them.
You're bad at losing.
Nah, but I get you Murph.
No one should pretend or make themselves small
for somebody else.
It was the same for me in high school, being a nerd and all that.
Do I intimidate you?
No.
You'll be all right.
We're here for you, Yui.
Good Yui, great lung capacity.
It's good to have you back, too, Ed.
Thanks, Coach.
It means the world to me.
Can you give us a minute?
As I said to the group, Ed,
innocent until proven guilty.
Now I watched your father swim when I was a junior, Ed,
one of the best swimmers this country's ever seen.
He stood for integrity.
Now,
my gut says that this is all a mistake.
I trust my gut, Ed.
Thanks so much, Coach.
N'gara, Sylvia!
As an Institute student athlete,
who identifies as a First Nation Australian,
we'd love to have you speak
at our Indigenous Youth Day next month on Kabi Kabi Country.
Let's hit the club tonight.
- I compete. - No biggie.
Just don't drink. Come on.
Guess that's settled then.
Party!
- Hey, what about her? - I'm gonna go talk to her!
- Hi. - Hey.
Don't I know you?
- Well, I want to. - Do you want to come back with us?
We'll, uh, we'll make it worth your while.
Yeah, promise.
My turn.
Come on then.
We'll stay.
- Just let her be. - Come on.
Let's get out of here. Told you we'd get lucky.
- Were you thinking about me? - Yeah, I was.
What are you doing here.
Don't you want me here, Murphy?
Sam?
It's great to see you getting along.
- What do you want? - What?
He said, "What do you want?"
So, um, obviously,
acting in a calorie deficit is…
bad.
This guy's a joke.
Shut up and eat.
Big calories in.
- This is making me so hungry. - Do you even have a nutrition regime?
I've seen you eat a pizza before lunch.
Yeah.
I don't know. I think about carbs.
Sometimes.
If you don't like me when I'm bulking, you don't deserve me when I'm shredding.
And well, obviously, elite athletes are extremely healthy.
And--
Yeah?
Making weight, which I'm doing right now,
isn't that healthy.
My roomie throws up at training as well.
So actually a lot of what we do is unhealthy.
Cool. Well, we want health.
Next slide.
So in terms of legal substances that could help,
there's caffeine and beetroot juice,
and…
Yes?
What about recovery aids?
Just because some of the swimmers,
were pretty confused about it before.
Check Fair Sport, Piper.
I guess it's just confusing, with like, cold and flu meds and stuff.
Look,
you seem like a smart girl, so I hope it's not too confusing.
And that goes for all of you.
Do not put anything into your body without checking Fair Sport first.
There's an app for that.
Yep.
Great work, Garrett, and thanks very much, Scott.
Always very direct.
When I was an athlete,
I could eat whatever I wanted and still look pretty good.
Yeah, if you're male.
But it's not all about looking good.
It's about the fuel you put in.
The highest quality.
Eat well and check the Fair Sports app.
- Does that answer-- - That is all.
Go!
Hey, nice. How'd that feel?
- Good. How'd it look? - Yeah. Good.
- We'll go a bit extra, eh? - Yeah.
- Let's put a ten on each side? - Yeah.
- She's a liar. - Maybe she didn't know.
She knew.
Great wrap.
See,
a dedicated athlete.
Good job, you.
Jackson.
It's Yui.
They don't even know my name.
Well, at least they like you.
I lost a thousand followers on Insta so, you know.
Well, I got tested this morning.
Again.
I'm sorry, Yui.
Truly.
My sponsors might stop making payments.
I don't know how I'm going to survive.
The girls are putting on a housewarming party.
Do you want to come?
Sam?
Is your hamstring all right?
- It's been playing up this whole time. - Come on, let's head down.
No, it's okay. Enjoy the view for a bit.
All right.
You keen to come later?
Yeah, I guess. I just, dunno, get worried sometimes.
About what?
You're doing so well for yourself.
I feel like you're going to leave me behind.
Sam, me leave you behind?
You're the one that wanted the open relationship.
Yeah, I know, but I'm committed to us.
Really?
Yeah. It's not always going to be like this.
We're going to figure ourselves out,
discover ourselves sexually,
and then, run until we're not fast anymore,
and then, it'll just be you and me,
forever.
Just us.
Yeah.
I just wish you'd stop running away from me.
Well, I mean I'm always going to run.
Not forever, right?
- Hey, thanks for making it. - Hello.
How are you doing?
- My song. - You say that about every song.
There are just so many masterpieces.
Sprint chicks, hey? Not like these swimmers.
- Don't say that about Yui. - Can I talk to you for a sec?
How did Sylvia find all these people?
I think they're mostly uni students in the sports program.
- Did you invite the swimmers? - I put it on the chat.
They removed me.
No one replied.
How are you doing?
I feel like everyone's always watching me.
I've been tested three times since your test.
I'm drowning.
Yui, my career might be over.
I know, Ed.
Yui, wait! I'm sorry.
I'll grab us some drinks.
- Get me one, too. - Yep.
You've got a comp coming.
- Come on. - No.
So, you and Mark, hey?
Yeah, we went out last week.
Do you like him?
Good looking guy.
That's not what I asked.
I've never been good at dating.
I don't like, you know, letting people down
'cause…
- Oh fuck! - Mate!
- Say sorry! - No.
Syl! It's fine.
- No. - Say sorry!
- Whoa!
- Chill out.
Hey, Mark!
- How you doing? - Mate.
- For fuck's sake! - Let's get you an Uber.
- Let's go. - I'm sorry I…
I didn't mean to cause a scene.
Look, I learned early on that you need to stand up for yourself,
otherwise you'll never get what you want.
- Right. - Look, I'm sorry.
Let's go get you a towel.
Come on.
Yui.
Come on, let me in.
Just you and me, like in the beginning.
Do you remember when I first asked you out,
and you said no?
And I spent forever at training trying to convince you.
Then you finally agreed to go out with me.
You asked me so many questions.
I thought I was having a bad hair day, but…
you didn't care about any of that.
You never did.
You only care about me,
now I only care about you.
Shit.
- Just a second! - Actually, I need a tampon.
I don't normally get one period.
Keep one for emergency.
One or two at home and one or two in your sports bag.
- Do you get a regular one? - I…
I sometimes skip it.
You're on it now, aren't you?
Sorry guys, I need the bathroom.
Sort of an emergency.
We've synced up.
I'm on the pill. I forgot to take it.
- I'm normally better than this. - That's a weird thing to say.
Better than a period?
- Fit girls don't get periods. - Righto. Practice safe sex at least.
Oh, Yui, Annie, I borrowed a condom, whoever's it was.
Yes, sorry, I'm not used to talking about sex.
Annie!
Girls get their period!
It's like Jurassic Park!
Nature finds a way.
Sam!
I dunno.
It's stupid to risk actually tearing a hamstring
if it's not 100%.
Just go home.
I'd prefer to watch my girlfriend.
The only thing worse than a family member
is getting a boyfriend to come.
You won't help her moping around like this.
Drive home.
See the physio, and we'll see you in seven days.
Hey!
I thought I'd be okay.
Come on, do the smart thing.
I know, it's just--
I've been looking forward to this, you and me a few nights away and…
Anyway, good luck.
Come out hard.
- Okay. - Another year. Another state champs.
I'm Opens now so I have to compete against Riley.
Yes. You didn't see?
She posted on Instagram. She's not competing.
I don't check socials on comp day, you know that but--
Wow, okay…
- Get out of here. - Yep.
Bye.
A bachelor of International Studies
allows us to discover the world of global connections.
This program is designed to help us navigate a contemporary world order.
Don't worry if you didn't know the answers.
It's just a pre-quiz.
The more important stuff is on the horizon.
Here we are, ladies and gentlemen at the Queensland Athletics Championships.
Beautiful day here in Brisbane
at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre.
We'll see some highs and lows here of track and field.
It is the original sport, back to the Greeks in ancient Athens.
We've got plenty of action on the field and on the track.
We've got a huge amount of talent on display here,
out on the beautiful, again, beautiful sunny day.
We've got the big men in the discus circle.
We're going to see some highs and some lows
in the field as well.
But this is where it all comes down to the Queensland Championships.
Who'll find themselves at the top of the podium here?
And we do have, very shortly, the women's 100 meter final.
Winning the heat means nothing.
It's the final that counts.
On your marks.
- Got to hold each other accountable. - Absolutely.
You know how I can get.
Whatever happens, promise
that we'll always be there for each other.
Always.
Set.
We have them racing in the women's 100 meter final.
Annie Murphy gets a fly out from the blocks.
Parker McLean on her heels,
but it's going to be The Institute one, two, as they cross the line.
Annie Murphy takes it on the dip from Parker McLean.
11:08 on the clock,
throw a blanket over third place,
but it's The Institute first and second.
It's an injury depleted field in the men's 100 meter final,
but they're off and a fast start from Caleb Manley.
Is he strong enough over the later stages? He does hold off Rowan Mick
to take the win.
Thanks for coming.
- I need to study more. - No problem.
Okay!
"Describe emotional detachment."
Difficulties creating ontaining personal relationships
or avoiding people, places, or activities
because they're associated with past trauma or events.
Okay, so…
you don't need a study partner.
Do you have any meets coming up?
Yeah, in a couple of weeks.
I just started cutting down weight. Gotta make 75.
So don't feed me too much.
Can you be 75.5?
No, I have to be under 75.
What are you now?
78.
Sylvia?
- Who is that? - Don't say anything.
- Just a guy from the other night. - Sylvia!
The other night,
the things you did to me…
I need you.
I really need you.
What?
Who was that?
- It was a hookup. - Sylvia…
What? It's the 21st century.
Okay, but…
it's not right to ignore him.
You should be nice.
I don't owe him anything.
Plus I'd prefer to spend my time with people I like.
- Oh no. - What's wrong? I love this place.
This is so not my scene.
Hey, could I get a Coke and a diet Coke?
What?
I know your drink order.
You sure you don't want a victory cocktail?
Hell no. I want a PB at nationals,
and then I'll finally beat Sam.
Caleb, what are you doing?
This was something That we couldn't say
But I've been watching you Watching me
You've been Running through my mind
How can it be bad When it feels so right?
I can't hold it any longer
The fire is getting stronger
I want the taste of your skin
I know you want to let me in
I wanna be part-time friends And full-time lovers
Body on mine As we grind under the covers
Part-time friends And full-time lovers
Baby
Why won't you let me love you?
Way tired of being friendly
So tell me Why won't you let me love you?
I can't believe you brought your medal out dancing.
I like holding it, you know, the weight.
I always feel like this after I win.
I know.
- It's like drugs, right? - Better.
- Better than drugs. - Yep.
Better than sex?
I dunno about that one.
Don't tell Sam I said that.
Maybe you're not having sex with the right one.
- You shouldn't say that. - Why not?
I shouldn't have said that. Sam and I actually have really great sex.
Annie.
- Don't. - What?
Just, um…
I think you're about to…
- Yeah? - Just don't.
You're going to have to make a choice. Him or me.
And for the record, I want all of you.
What about we get out of here, we have victory sex,
and you tell me which is better.
- Caleb. - What?
- I can't pretend you haven't said that. - Stop thinking.
It's like Robin says,
"practice perfect, and then when the time comes, just…
let it all go."
Let
it
go, Murphy.
- I'm the right choice. - Hey, guys!
Hi.
- Oh my God, were you two just about to… - Of course not.
Fuck off, Piper.
- Bye, Caleb. - Murphy!
He's not the right choice.
Hey Sylvia. It's Chad. Call me later. Yeah, call me.
Good morning. Does Edward Proxy live here?
No. Who's asking?
If you're a reporter, fuck off.
I have information. Take it.
Oi, get back here!
What am I meant to do with this?
Sam, I'm here!
I haven't even gone home yet. I just came from the hotel.
Hey!
It's not the best time, Annie.
What do you mean? Sam, just let me in.
There's someone here?
Sam?
I don't know if he's told you about me, but I'm his girlfriend,
so you can leave now.
Annie, there's…
Hey.
No.
I hope you guys can work it out.
- Do you want to come in? - Her?
You broke the rules. You got with Caleb.
What?
I saw the video.
What video?
Let me guess. Piper?
We never hooked up.
We came really close and then I…
I remembered us.
I came here to tell you that I love you,
and that I want us. Properly.
Not in an open relationship.
Sam,
- I thought we had the real thing. - Annie. We do.
We did.
Bye, Sam.
What does it say?
It's some sort of a list, a database or…
Can I have a look?
Thanks.
It's a list of swimmers from Australia, and a list of recovery aids,
ergogenic aids, and rostenediol, creatine, HMB…
What does it all mean?
These are all legal, Yui.
What Ed took was probably legal.
Then why did he test positive?
I don't know. He shouldn't have. Ed shouldn't have,
or he didn't have knowledge of it.
Yui, this might clear him.
Lactic session.
Those who did well at States might think you'll have it easy today.
You won't.
This is meant to hurt,
and if it doesn't, you're not doing it right.
So 400, 300, 200, 100,
flat out.
Come, up!
Try and keep up.
Increase your tempo.
You okay?
I'm sick of this shit.
- Piper, wait up! - Annie, this is ridiculous,
Don't you get it, Sam? I would do anything to win! Anything!
- Why didn't you give me the respect? - I do respect you.
Never done anything behind your back.
We're done, Sam.
Annie.
Murph, you okay?
I'm fine.
Up!
Very good. One more!
Come on, core tight!
- Push! - Nah.
- Let's pack up. - No!
Sylvia, you've got two back-to-back competitions.
You're supposed to be cutting weight. You've got no energy and…
You need to know your body.
Let's just get through this week.
At weigh in you'll feel better.
Can I stay?
You can,
as long as you promise to pack up afterwards.
Sure, Mark. Just another few reps.
Just… know when to call it quits, all right?
Yep.
- How do you reckon we went? - Good.
All right, team,
we're going to do this out here in the open.
Selections for nationals are in.
Everyone here…
is competing.
- Yes! - Let's go!
With the exception of Ed.
Everyone here knows that Ed's been under some scrutiny.
Well, turns out that he's suspended.
- About time. - Until his FSA investigation.
Again, innocent until proven guilty.
It'll be all right, mate.
You've always got a spot here on this team,
but right now, your season's over.
- Hey. - I didn't know the
- gym was closed. - No, I-- it's fine.
I stayed behind.
Had a bit of a frustrating session.
- Sorry. - No, don't worry.
You can't win them all.
I'm happier now that you're here.
I'd help you pack up, but…
I've seen you with your little kettlebells working on your fitness.
Why do you like this so much?
The sport?
The gym?
This is my domain. You know, I…
I haven't had anything outside of sport
that makes me feel this way.
- You ever been in love? - No.
I guess love's as close as I've come to feeling…
passion.
- Nevermind. - No!
That's cool.
That's just not me.
Things outside of sport are just… less clear.
Less clear?
Like…
People lie?
Yeah.
Okay, I'll make you a deal then.
I won't ever lie to you.
Okay.
God, you are so strong.
It's…
Intimidating?
Beautiful.
- Okay, I want the truth then. - Okay.
Do you…
- Do you like me? - Of course I do.
Not like that.
You said you'd tell me the truth.
- Don't worry about it. - Yes!
Yes what?
Yes, I like you, like that.
I don't know what that means.
I've never liked a girl before,
and it's weird and confusing and I don't…
Hey, Syl, I forgot my…
Ed?
I'll make a statement,
a character witness to the press.
I'll say you didn't know.
You'd do that for me?
I believe you.
I appreciate it, Yui.
I know.
This is stupid.
Why would they have an awards night, a dance,
right before we have to leave?
We won't have any fun.
You look gorgeous.
Ed, you're the model,
- and I'm in my dressing gown. - Wear it.
It becomes you!
Now,
I know it's cheesy,
but you've never gone to a dance before,
I wanted you to remember this one.
But nobody else will…
I don't care about anyone else.
- You know I… - Really?
Maybe, a little.
Mostly care about you.
Yui.
I'll have you home early so you don't turn into a pumpkin.
An early night of fun,
then you'll drive down and compete the day after.
Does that sound like a plan?
Anyone know who's winning?
It's always the swimmers.
Always.
Ready?
- Cheese! - Cheese!
Oh, hang on.
Hey, have you seen Mark?
Oh, I can't talk right now. I've got to present the awards.
Tonight, we recognize the best this institute has to offer.
Excellence is what we're all about.
And now, the two Sportspeople of the Year,
male and female are…
Jackson Kennedy and Yui Takahashi!
Thank you.
Who cares? It's a stupid award anyway.
Just don't tell Yui that.
- Well done! - Thanks, Sylvia.
All right, now, the moment you've all been waiting for.
Let's dance!
Come on!
I love this song!
Come on!
Okay.
- Why don't we put on a show? - What do you mean?
- Hit it. - Caleb?
I hope you remember this one.
Give us a little bit of room.
Yes!
Yes, Annie!
Mark!
You haven't been returning my calls.
I liked her, Sylvia.
I'm sorry, but you were wrong for each other and…
I like her. I don't usually feel for people like this.
- Not even for me? - Of course!
It's just…
- It's different. - Yep, okay.
No, you know what? I've had your back ever since you started here.
I just wish you'd had mine.
- Mark… - No!
I'm done, Sylvia.
With what? Training?
Being my coach?
I never just wanted that.
I don't know if you do either.
I just, I just wanted…
all of you.
You don't even know what you want.
Hey!
- Come in. - No.
Wait, Syl.
The other night was a mistake.
- If you say so. - It was.
Look, I didn't even know that you were… bisexual.
I'm not bisexual or a lesbian. I'm…
I'm straight. Never been with a girl.
I'm not bi.
I'm sorry. What are you?
A person.
I like who I like.
Right.
Well…
I thought you liked me.
I do…
I did…
Look, I don't even know how I feel.
Whatever, Elenore.
I'm far enough to know I'm not gonna convince anybody to like me.
You don't like girls? Cool. Good luck.
Hello and welcome
to the Brisbane Aquatic Centre in sunny Queensland
for the Swimming Championships.
There's excitement in the crowd this year, with Australia's best swimmers present,
to not only gain the title of fastest swimmer,
but to also make the Australian team
and compete internationally for the title of best in the world.
With Australia's international recognition,
it's great to see the swimmers from the Institute here too,
a facility set up to cater to the best young athletes…
Wait, hey!
- Hey, Coach! - Hey!
He's pretty nervous. I'd be nervous.
- Do you get nervous? - I do.
I get nervous for other people.
Where's Yui?
With some wonderful events on the calendar today,
we're really looking forward to seeing some of the Paralympians
compete in the pool.
They are such wonderful athletes. They get in there and get the job done,
and it's so wonderful that we get to see so much coverage
of an event that has so many wonderful stories,
so many wonderful athletes,
and right here at the Brisbane Aquatic Centre.
We also know that this is going to be a location for the 2032 Olympic Games.
We can't wait for that venue to be up and running,
and such a great place to be.
We know it's sunny, we know we put on the best events,
and it'll be a wonderful place to see
the best athletes in the world compete right here in our backyard.
I could not agree with you more, Leisel,
but eyes on the pool now for the 200 meter individual medley here.
- Go, Yui! - Eyes will be on Yui Takahashi.
- Come on! - She hopes to qualify
for the Japanese swim team, swimming for The Institute here.
Eyes on the pool.
Take your mark.
Come on.
That's good.
You've got this, yes!
Yes!
Go!
She's done it!
Yui Takahashi,
high flying here for the Japanese swim team.
Training out of Australia doesn't mean that she can't
- qualify here… - You did it!
- My God! - …for the Japanese!
What a swim!
I just can't believe you did it!
Hey, good job, You!
It's actually "Yui."
Oh God!
Have I been saying that wrong this whole time?
I'm so sorry. Why didn't you tell me?
I don't know.
I should have.
Yui, wait.
Well done.
Thank you.
- Hey! - Don't be annoying.
- Yui! - Ed!
- Tell me. - I won the gold!
Oh, that's great.
I look forward to these extra sessions.
You're a good person, Caleb.
Chelsea would've liked you.
Thanks, Murph.
Hey,
Caleb, wait.
Wait. Are you doing this to get back at Sam?
No. I'm sorry it took me so long to see you.
N'gara, Sylvia. It's good to have you here today.
We have some Indigenous kids turning up and I need you to be inspiring.
I don't feel very… inspiring today.
Come, and I'll show you how to be inspiring.
Come on.
Hey, guys!
- Hi! - Hi.
- Hi! - Hello!
So, I'm Sylvia,
I'm from Aurukun mob. I'm a powerlifter.
Cool.
So I lift heavy things in three different ways.
One is a deadlift,
so it's a heavy weight, and I pick it up.
The second one is bench press,
so it's like a pushup but on your back.
And the third one is
a squat, so it's like sitting down on the loo.
All right, let's go play some games.
Yes!
We've had so much fun.
Hey, what's wrong?
I got caught.
Are you having fun though? Yeah?
There's more to life than just winning.
Ain't that the truth.
Hey, Bub, come on.
Go and enjoy yourself.
I feel like I've always played sport
just because that's what everyone else expects me to do.
I've hated having this weight on me,
like my entire life.
Yeah.
Sylvia, you must do what makes you happy.
Okay?
It's important.
Look, I understand you're thinking there now.
- Annie. Here for the skin fold test? - Hey!
- Yep, yeah! - Nice and early.
Come on in.
- You've had a skin fold test before? - Good.
- Are we waiting for anyone? - No. Let's get started.
Go ahead and take off your clothes.
Okay. Stand up over there.
Good.
All right.
So how's training?
Yeah, good. Thanks Mr. Vickers.
Scott, please.
Okay, Scott.
Have you spoken to Chelsea's parents?
No, not recently.
It's unfortunate, things like this.
People dying?
No, no, no.
People exceeding their limitations.
There are rules in sport, Annie.
That's why I always liked sport.
Yeah, I like that too.
And if you stick to those rules,
everything works out.
You see,
I don't think Chelsea quite understood that.
But you, Annie, you're a smart girl.
And if you stay in your lane,
you'll have a very bright,
and promising future here.
All right.
All right, you are done.
Put your clothes back on, Annie.
This is it, the National Athletics Championships.
It's what it's all about.
All the blood, sweat and tears,
come down to just a few short moments on the track,
and who has what it takes to bring home the gold?
Our heats are making their way out, onto the track,
and have seen the favorites get through to the finals.
Plenty of warming up going on. Do they have what it takes?
The Institute has a very strong showing here,
and I look forward to seeing what they can produce in the finals.
Anyone need the bathroom?
Okay, let's go.
Next up, we have the Women's 200-meter final.
Four girls representing The Institute,
Riley Day, who is the favorite,
and an interesting rivalry with Annie Murphy and Piper McLean.
On your marks.
Set.
Come on.
Come on, Annie!
It's a brilliant start by Riley Day, right there in the center of the field.
Straight up to the shoulder of Piper McLean.
Running around the bend. She's trying to close that gap.
- She's been running well all season. - Annie!
Coming to the home straight, it's Riley Day.
Riley Day in the front, coming to the finish line.
Annie!
And it's Riley Day, with a 22.82. Disappointing finish for Annie Murphy,
as she's been running personal bests,
but the win goes to Riley Day.
What a fantastic run!
Well, Riley Day, what a race that was.
You've proved yourself in tough conditions.
You've got yourself the win and your fourth national title.
It's really exciting.
Conditions were tough, but I'm happy to have awesome competition.
Looking forward to the future.
Well, let's everybody give Riley Day a round of applause,
our new Australia's fastest woman,
Riley Day!
Good luck, Sylvia, I'm gonna go find Annie.
You don't have to go, Yui.
I have to get back for an afternoon session
and I just came to catch Annie's final.
You know it's always two sessions a day.
- Annie will be really upset. - I know.
How am I going to get home then?
I think you'll have a ride.
- What are you doing here? - I came to watch a friend,
- Tarnie. - Really?
- How'd she go? - She made the final.
- I think she got eighth. - Last?
- Eighth? - Right.
Wait.
- I'm confused. - You don't say.
I've been Googling
bisexual and pansexual and… all sexuals
all morning.
I just don't know what I am.
Why don't you just think less and we can figure us out
- for us. - Only a genius would tell someone
to think less.
Some people have to think really hard.
It's overrated.
But I don't want to just be this nice people-pleasing pushover.
I want…
I want you.
I stuffed it!
Nah, I stuffed it.
- Sam, I got third last. - I don't mean the race, Annie.
I lost you.
- Sam, you didn't want me. - Annie, I've always wa--
We…
Losing you has been the worst thing that's ever happened to me.
I thought I could fix all of our problems,
my problems, but I just made everything so much worse.
Sam, when I lose a race, I feel like I've died.
Like, the champion in me just doesn't exist anymore.
It's agonizing.
Is it like that with us?
- Sam I-- - Annie, look,
I just want us to go back to the way we were in the beginning.
Can we try again?
Sam, I can barely undo my shoelaces right now.
- I'll… - No.
Look, it's fine.
It's your choice.
I know I've made my choice, and that's you.
She says she believes me.
She's going to be my character witness next week at the press conference.
No, she's not lying for me.
She genuinely believes me.
I know.
Look, it's better this way.
It's better that she doesn't know.
Shit.
Shit, I've got to go.
- Where? - Training.
It's time Mark and I start a new block.
How is Mark?
I don't know.
Now I've got to go training though.
Not saying that to kick me out?
Of course not.
I want you here when I come back.
I've…
I have…
I've fallen for you.
I've got to go.
Of course, it's the final exam.
The one that matters.
I'm sorry I'm late.
You have one hour.
This student's cheating!
- Am not! - Yes, you are.
- Who cares? It's just a test. - Everyone just calm down, just--
- Who cares? I would… - Please sit.
…never.
- Hey, Murph. - Hey.
How are you going?
Come to tell me you're back with him?
No, Sam and I are over. Done.
You don't know how happy that makes me.
- I thought you'd want to know. - Yeah?
Yeah.
So what happens now?
- I'm really into sport. - Yeah.
Who could have guessed?
And I like you.
Does that mean you want to give this a go?
- Because, Murphy-- - Actually Caleb,
it means I need to give me a go.
What?
I'm done, with men and relationships and distractions for now.
I've been torn this way and that,
and losing Nationals made me realize
that I need to choose me.
But we've been great.
I know.
I know, Caleb.
But…
I think Sam, all those months ago had a point.
Track is my priority.
I just… I don't get why you can't have us both.
Because I've already tried an open relationship.
I'm not prepared to sacrifice anything for sport.
If you had to choose,
me, or track,
what would you choose?
You.
See…
That's not my choice.
You should choose track,
or uni.
But me?
- Hey, Annie. - Yeah?
I'll see you at training.
- Hey! - Hey. You left bed.
You didn't pick up your phone.
Yeah, I've just been thinking.
He didn't show, hey?
Nup.
You've been here the whole time?
Yeah.
All right,
come on then.
Annie?
I understand you wanted to see me?
To the future.
- I'm gonna tell. - What are you going to tell, Ed?
You gave me the drugs!
You are not thinking clearly, Ed.
And we both know you're weak. You haven't been convicted of anything.
And the false proof trail I gave should clear you.
Keep your head in the game!
Worst, you'll get a two-year ban for consumption.
At best, you'll be back in the pool next week.
Think of your future.
I hate lying. I've lied to my squad, my coach, my girlfriend--
This is how it's going to play out if you tell the truth, Ed!
You will be banned for life.
Your girlfriend will leave you, your squad will abandon you,
and your modeling will be over.
And as for me,
I will be fine.
I will deny the charges.
The act of a desperate man.
There is no evidence.
You seem to forget that this was your choice.
In the case of Edward Proxy vs. Fair Sport Australia,
we have Yui Takahashi here to make a statement,
to the recent claims, that the accused did not
knowingly consume a banned substance.
In reference to the case of Edward Proxy,
could you tell us in your own words, what you know?
Yui Takahashi has agreed to make one statement,
and there'll be no further questions.
You good?
Why'd you do it?
I had a choice.
I didn't want to take yours away.
We're done, aren't we?
For what it's worth,
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Are you all right?
Come in!
Come on!
- I'm coming. - Come on.
Let's go!
Come on, Yui.
We'll wait for you, Yui. Come on.
Let's go!
Wait!
Hey, Sylvia, still wondering why you haven't called me back. No idea.
But I was just wondering, uh… yeah.
I like my woman like I like my coffee.
Really strong and really bitter. Catch ya!
Oh, fuck. It's on voicemail.
All right. Sorry, Sylvia. Still thinking about you, bye!
Hey, Sylvia, how you going?
I saw you absolutely tongue deep mackin' on with a ranga the other day.
Bad joke. Sorry. Goodbye.
Hey, Sylvia. I know it's been so long.
All right, look, I deeply miss you
and know that I'm thinking about you a lot. Goodbye.
Hey, Sylvia, look,
I know you've probably forgotten about me,
but, hey, it's Chad and…
I still think about you, all right?
I hope we find each other in another lifetime, all right?
I know it's not working out right now, but I know I'll see you soon.
I'm not creepy.
