SIMMONE: I'm a single mum.
The others might be here for experience, but I want the money.
It's life-changing.
NARRATOR: 14 Aussies answered the call...
SHARKSEY: Everything is about money in this game...
Money's more important than people.
..on a monster of a mountain...
with only 15 days to haul $1 million to the top.
MAN: Oh, my god!
But the mountain's keeper gave them a choice...
WOMAN: We're 250 short. MAN: 250 grand.
..to select one hiker to carry a quarter of the prize pool to the top.
KEEPER: This 250,000 bucks, whoever carries it can keep it or...
(GASPS)
..share it if they make it to the top.
MAN: Oh!
PHIL: I'd be happy to take it.
WOMAN: Phil. MAN: We trust you.
NARRATOR: Bali bombing survivor Phil took the cash.
OLYMPIA: Anything happens to him, that money is gone.
We need to get rid of Phil to steal that cash.
But at the checkpoint... (CRIES)
..it was the slowest hiker Ros who was feeling the heat.
I'm about to lose my farm to the banks. (CRIES)
I don't want to go home and lose everything.
(CRIES)
Final vote for Ros.
The group eliminated Ros, stealing her share of the prize pool.
Tonight...
WOMAN: Pressure's on.
..a tightrope of terror...
MAN: Don't let it go.
WOMAN: Oh! WOMAN: Oh, god!
CHARLOTTE: Stop, stop, stop, stop. I'm scared.
..will test the bonds of trust...
OLYMPIA: Look at me. I've got you. I've got you.
Oh, no. I'm going.
SIMMONE: Oh... Oh...
Oh!
..pushing one hiker to break...
I want to keep fighting but I don't want to do any permanent damage.
I've still got to be a mum.
..and another into madness.
SHARKSEY: This is bullshit.
I was here for the experience, not to get (BLEEP).
MAN: Sharkey! WOMAN: We can't lose both of them.
Get me a chopper. I am done.
(EVOCATIVE MUSIC)
(POP!) (CONTESTANTS CHEER)
Some mimosas by the pool, anyone, guys?
MAN: Yes, please!
(CONTESTANTS LAUGH)
WOMAN: It's so good. WOMAN: Cheers, everyone.
MAN: One, two, three! ALL: The Summit!
WOMAN: Whoo!
Oooh, yeah.
WOMAN: Can you believe where we are and what we're doing?
WOMAN: I know.
MAN: Hey, guys, everyone just look at the water, the hill.
Take in the view.
Sensational.
MAN: Oh, yeah, run!
(CONTESTANTS LAUGH AND CALL OUT)
PHIL: I think the vibe's pretty good, to be honest.
I've had this moving target on my back
ever since I've raised my hand to take the extra 250K in my backpack
and now I can sort of rest easy.
I feel super honoured and privileged
and I have so much respect for all these crew,
who said that they would not vote for me.
MAN: Beauty. MAN: Whoo!
MAT: Oh, look at you go. Jeez, you're flexible.
That's the ex-ballet dancer in me.
The old triple threat - acting, dance...
Well, I never wanted to act.
I mean, that wasn't on the cards.
What, it just sort of happened?
I literally had come off 'Cats' for two years,
had a really sore body, told my agent that I needed a break
and then 'Baywatch' came to town
and then, next thing you know, I was in America.
Wow. Did you hang out with David Hasselhoff?
Yeah, of course.
Was he a good guy? He's a good guy.
I feel like I've lived so many different lives.
The dancing and acting world did take me to amazing places
and it was a lot of fun.
ANNOUNCER: Simmone Jade Mackinnon, 'McLeod's Daughters', Nine Network.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
I don't think I've ever been happier than I was as an actress.
What have you been up to since 'McLeod's Daughters'?
When I had my son Madigan...
I didn't want to be in the acting game
'cause I wanted to be with him.
Just him.
But now, as a 50-year-old single mum, we live in a caravan.
The financial pressure is really, really intense.
The last three years have been the hardest of my life...
and that caused severe anxiety.
After, like, a week of pretty much back-to-back panic attacks,
that led to massive hair loss.
There was big chunks just falling out.
So I had to shave it all off.
You lose your hair and there's a massive psychological hit.
I didn't feel even remotely like me.
I just hid.
I hid away from everything and everyone for years.
MAN: Well done! Well done!
Because I've been in self-isolation, I'm struggling to form connections.
MAN: Oh, here we go. Here we go.
MAN: Eh! (LAUGHTER)
That never used to be a problem for me.
But here, it's something that's challenging every day.
Oh, it stings! (LAUGHS)
SIMMONE: I cannot let them think that I'm the weakest link.
MAN: Let's go, let's go! MAN: Get on the move.
If I keep going down this track,
they're gonna boot me because I'm not bringing anything to the party.
MAT: Who wants to lead?
MAN: Does anyone want to lead?
SIMMONE: Yeah, you want me to? Do you want to lead?
I'll have a go. Yeah, you go.
SIMMONE: So, might have to put on the old acting mask...
You've got this. I've got this.
You've got this. Let's go.
OK, guys. On the move.
WOMAN: Oh, I've got this.
I'm gonna fake it till I make it.
OK.
I need to prove to them that I'm worthy of being here,
that I'm not the bottom, that I have a place in this group.
(GASPS) Oh, shit.
NARRATOR: So far, this lot have taken four days to trek 50km,
with 132k's still to go to reach the summit.
They're making OK time, but out here, things can change fast
and they have no idea what's coming for them.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Big surprise. Look who's back.
Last year, I didn't make it as far as I deserved
and I'm back for revenge.
This past year has been a lot of training.
I'm fitter, I'm faster, I'm harder, I'm stronger.
There's a pleasure in the suffering, a forging of something stronger.
Last time, we all knew I was a threat from day one.
Alright, three most capable.
Hard and fast.
Sam said the three most capable. MAN: Yeah.
WOMAN: Yeah, that annoys me.
MAN: Anyone voting for Sammy?
SAM: I was absolutely robbed.
That opportunity was mine
and those winnings, standing on top of that mountain was mine.
I've got unfinished business with The Summit.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Well, well, well.
Pink parka.
Fancy seeing you here, mate.
It's good to be back.
Welcome back to the depths of New Zealand.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) (HELICOPTER WHIRRS)
MAN: Oh, my god.
Argh! Come on! (LAUGHS)
Well, last year, in your attempt to reach the summit,
you claimed to be the most capable, alright?
I did claim that, yes.
It was those kinds of words
that actually got you booted off the mountain.
Unfortunately so.
Well, it's time to put your money where your mouth is...
and prove that you are indeed capable.
Four days ago, 14 hikers set off with a 15-day goal of reaching the summit.
Your mission is to chase them down, catch them...
and steal someone's cash.
Sounds easy, right?
Fantastic.
Well, as we all know by now, it's not gonna be easy.
Right now, you have no cash, OK,
so you have no share in the $1 million prize money.
Now, you'll only earn a place on the mountain once you have cash,
so you must catch the group.
Is that clear?
No catch, no cash.
I understand.
Now, you're four days behind them.
You're gonna need to move fast.
You'll be facing every obstacle that the mountain has thrown
at the main group.
Feeling confident?
I wouldn't have it any other way.
Why are you smiling?
This is where I'm meant to be.
Alright. You're gonna need this, mate.
Ah. Trusty map. Thank you.
I hate to say, you will be roughing it out there.
Good.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I'm ready.
Alright.
Well, go get 'em, bloodhound.
Run!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
SAM: I've got something to prove.
I am here to get that money
and I do not care who gets sent off this mountain to make that happen.
Watch out, guys. I'm coming for you.
I'm gonna be standing on top of that summit.
Oh... Oh!
NARRATOR: Coming up...
WOMAN: Oh, my god.
MAN: A big obstacle.
Far out.
..a tightrope of terror...
SIMMONE: That feels like it's impossible.
..causes mayhem...
SHARKSEY: Don't look down. Look at me.
CHARLOTTE: I'm going.
(SCREAMING)
..on the mountain.
WOMAN: Sharksey!
SHARKSEY:
MAT: Come on!
NARRATOR: Carrying 869 grand in their backpacks...
these 11 hikers have just ten days left
to conquer this monster of a mountain.
Make it to the top and they'll be a whole lot richer.
Sounds easy, right?
It ain't.
MAN: That's near vertical.
MAN: I feel like I'm pissed walking up this.
MAN: How is it down there, Sharksey?
SHARKSEY: Yeah, struggling. Me arse is sore.
And they're blissfully unaware
the chaser is ruthlessly hunting them down,
zeroing in on his prey.
SAM: Do not slow down.
If he catches them,
the power is his hands to choose one unlucky hiker,
steal their cash and beat them off the mountain,
taking their place in the herd,
so they'd better get a wriggle on.
Chop-chop.
SHARKSEY: Me calves are burning already.
It's hard. The whole thing sucks.
There is not one part of me that wants to be here.
I hate this. I don't like this at all.
I'm battling demons already.
WOMAN: What inspired you to come on this epic journey, Glen?
I'm lazy. You're lazy?
Yeah.
Put myself through two weeks of uncomfortable shit
and then I don't have to work for a year and I can just relax.
I'm here to win, that's why I'm here. I'm not gonna get beat.
It's an ego thing.
I've said I will not get beat by these type of people.
I should be more mentally ahead.
I can't not win.
MAN: Oi, everyone.
MAN: Hey, I'm smoked.
WOMAN: Stop!
This rock's in 'The Hobbit'.
(MAN LAUGHS) MAN: Alright.
I'm pretty sure. I could be wrong. But it looks like it.
WOMAN: Oh, god.
WOMAN: Sharkey got distracted by a rock.
MAN: Wasted a fair bit of time this morning already.
Like, you can't just stop all the time.
It's a bit of a pain in the arse. MAN: Yeah.
MAT: Sharksey's... he's an interesting character.
But I will say this.
I think I could go to the top with Sharkey.
I'm definitely gonna keep him close to me.
How are you feeling, Sharksey? Good?
SHARKSEY: That rock, I'm pretty sure that's the entrance...
Like, have you seen 'The Hobbit'?
MAT: It sounds a little cruel but, you know, we're playing a game here
and you need shields in these games that can protect you
and Sharkey's just one hell of a shield.
I've got a hold him with both hands
and I can fend off the blows as they come in and throw him to the wolves.
WOMAN: Oh, I see... I see something.
WOMAN: Uh-oh.
Oh, my god! A note!
MAN: We've got a note, team!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
SIMMONE: OK. Here we go.
"High-risk crossing.
"Must be done in pairs." WOMAN: Oh...
"Backpacks travel on a separate platform.
"Who do you trust?"
WOMAN: Oooh!
MAN: Is everyone's heart in their mouth right now?
CONTESTANTS: Yeah. (LAUGHTER)
Jesus Christ. That is not gonna be easy.
MAN: Absolutely.
NARRATOR: Blocking their path to the summit
is a harrowing rope crossing.
The only way across is balancing together in pairs
along two tightropes.
But that's only half the battle.
Holding almost a million bucks between them,
their backpacks must travel separately.
To do so, they have to carefully load them onto a wooden platform
before attempting the crossing.
Only once they've successfully crossed
can they pulley them over to the other side.
Should a bag fall,
they'll need to hike all the way down to the bottom of the ravine
to fetch it after finishing the obstacle,
costing time they can't afford
with a chaser hot on their scent.
Should we worry about, like, let's say, weight distribution? Like...
We're gonna need to be similar weight.
WOMAN: Similar weight.
Oh, maybe it's our time to shine. (LAUGHS)
These obstacles are insane.
They just keep getting harder and harder,
but I am just so grateful that I am not doing it alone.
MAN: So, who's with who?
SHARKSEY: I'm gonna go with Simmone because she calms me down. (LAUGHS)
I'm gonna go with Tay because I think I'm probably the heaviest...
CONTESTANTS: Yeah.
..to sort of try to balance him out on one side.
I've got Trish. You guys are together?
WOMEN: Yeah. WOMAN: Olympia and Charlotte.
Then who's left?
MAN: Tiff, who have you got? TIFFANI: No-one yet.
MAN: She hasn't got a partner.
There's not enough numbers.
We've got Tiff on her own.
TIFFANI: I feel a bit alone, I suppose.
The note said you must, MUST be in pairs.
Don't have one.
We're gonna need someone maybe to come back for Tiff.
How do you get back?
I don't know yet, but...
Yeah, who knows?
..I'm sure there's gonna be a way.
I'm praying.
Trust will make someone bring me back along.
MAN: Come on, let's get up there and get this show on the road.
You know what you're capable of.
You don't know, everyone else, how they balance.
SHARKSEY: Does anyone mind if I go first?
WOMAN: Sure. I don't mind.
MAN: Sharksey and Simmone are going first.
Pressure's on.
SHARKSEY: I picked Simmone because Simmone's my secret ally.
Doesn't matter if she's unfit.
I can get someone I can trust across that obstacle.
I feel like first is less stressful.
That's somebody that I want right next to me
and then I can just concentrate on being nice to the weaker opponents
and then waiting to bite the top dog.
I'm the only one playing the game.
Everyone else hasn't even started yet.
Can I just say that we need to get the bags over
just as much as the person?
Just, guys, like, take super care and time putting the bags on.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
SHARKSEY: I don't even want to think about packs falling.
We've lost too much already.
OK. CONTESTANTS: Go, guys!
Whoo! Give it hell.
Those packs contain the money,
so they're more important than any person.
Those packs are what's valuable, not the people.
Go, Sharksey. MAN: Go, Shark!
Simmone!
Are you right?
That's alright. I'll get it done.
(TENSE MUSIC)
You've got this, guys.
Do you want me to chuck it?
I don't know if that's possible.
It's so far for us to throw the bag.
Trust me, it's easy.
It should work.
Yep.
It will.
Let's go, guys! You got this.
MAN: Let's go, guys!
Whoo. Easy, easy.
Oh, hold on. Careful with that!
(GASPS) No!
Oh, no!
One's just fallen. They've fallen. Wow. Far out.
(BLEEP)'s sake.
It's hard to get it on that thing.
It's OK. We'll figure it out.
Oh, all me shit's wet.
They're gonna have to go down and get them.
(EXHALES) This is gonna be a long day, guys.
WOMAN: Just take your time.
Try and get it in there.
I don't know.
OK. Are you ready? Yeah.
I'm just gonna get a bit closer, then.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Oh, my god.
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
Oh... (BLEEP). Oh...
Oh... (BLEEP).
There it goes, into the water.
MAN: We've just lost 106 grand down in the ravine.
MAN: Over 100K down.
Can we get it back?
Yeah, but it's gonna take some time.
SIMMONE: Oh, my heart. SHARKSEY: Don't worry.
I'm calm with this one because I've got you with me.
I'm not worried. MAT: Hey, chin up, guys.
Chin up. MAN: Chin up, guys.
You've got this, guys.
Remember, we've gotta lean into each other.
Leaning in.
We've got this, Simmone. Look at me if you get scared.
We've got this.
I don't feel balanced at all.
Try putting your foot where mine is.
Yep. OK, we've got to lean in.
Yep.
Good. PHIL: Here they go.
They're on.
Deep breaths. Keep going.
This is easy.
I feel like I'm pushing.
You're fine. Let's go.
Ready? One...
They're not really in sync moving, though, are they?
I'm really far away. (BLEEP).
Now I've got you. You're alright. Look at me.
Breathe, breathe.
Look at me.
(EXHALES) Chill, chill, chill.
We're not gonna fall. Keep looking at me.
(EXHALES)
WOMAN: They're holding into each other's waist thing.
MAN: Pulling each other down by using that harness.
Breathe.
(BLEEP). We've got this.
Hold each other's arms!
Go. (EXHALES)
Keep going. (EXHALES)
We've got this.
Good job. More.
CHARLOTTE: One step at a time! Look at the feet!
Keep going.
WOMAN: Just take your time.
Oh, my god. We're OK.
(EXHALES) Are you OK?
We're OK. We aren't gonna fall.
Don't look down. Look at me.
Oh...
Shark! Shark! MAN: You've got this.
Arms!
Good, Simmone! Hold it! Hold it, hold it, hold it.
Oh, my god. We're OK.
You're right, you're right.
You're not gonna fall. Hold it, hold it, hold it.
MAN: Talk to each other! Communicate!
We're OK. We're OK. We aren't gonna fall.
Don't look down. Look at me. Oh... Are you right?
Oh! MAN: Oh!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC) CONTESTANTS: Oh!
Are you right? Oh, my god.
Did I hurt you? Did that jar you when you fell?
(EXHALES)
WOMAN: Simmone looks like she's hurt her hand.
She looks sore. Like, she's holding her arm up.
Oh, jeez.
(TENSE MUSIC)
SHARKSEY: We aren't gonna fall. Don't look down. Look at me.
Oh...
MAN: Talk to each other! Communicate!
SIMMONE: Oh, my god. Alright... Don't fall.
Are you right, are you right, are you right?
MAN: Good, Simmone! Hold it!
Oh, my god. We're OK.
Hold, Simmone!
MAT: Hold it, hold it, hold it.
We're OK. Are you right, are you right? Don't fall.
We aren't gonna fall. Don't look down. Look at me.
Oh...
(GASPS)
Oh!
(BLEEP).
Are you right?
Did I hurt you? Did that jar you when you fell?
Oh, shit.
WOMAN: Simmone looks like she's hurt her hand.
We'll give someone else a go. We need to rest.
That's horrible.
(BLEEP). Just insane.
Oh...
Holy... Far out.
It's easily the scariest shit I've ever done in my life.
Not gonna lie.
Oh...
We've gotta get off.
My arm's hurting really badly.
WOMAN: It's OK. MAN: Shit.
It's OK.
SIMMONE: It's a real sharp shooting pain.
Yeah, I'm scared.
That feels like it's impossible.
Good luck. It is (BLEEP) horrible.
Yeah, that was hideous.
MAT: Hey, chin up, guys. Chin up. MAN: Chin up, guys.
First time. It looks really tough, guys.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Who's going?
Oh, excellent, excellent.
It's just so hard.
I struggled not being fit.
They're no Arnold Schwarzeneggers.
Like, 90% of people couldn't do that. That's really hard.
But I don't think the other guys are gonna do this well either.
It's hard as.
I'm not even embarrassed by that. We killed it.
Good luck. You've got this.
OLYMPIA: Thanks, guys.
WOMAN: Show us how it's done, girls.
Jesus. How am I gonna put those bags there?
Let's go, Lym!
MAN: You've got this, girls.
Yeah, good. It needs to go on its flat.
The bit that's on your back, it needs to be laying down.
Yeah, good. Yeah.
CHARLOTTE: Well done, Olympia.
Beautiful.
MAN: Yeah, well done with the bags, girls!
MAN: Good job, girls!
Good job. Look where they've got their bags.
There's no way those two got their bags on there.
What a joke.
MAN: Have a look at this, mate.
First part done. Done.
Now for the easy part. (LAUGHS)
WOMAN: You got this.
CONTESTANTS: Whoo!
MAN: Yeah, girls! MAN: Yes!
OLYMPIA: I'm really nervous about this.
Oh, my god!
But I like the trust thing. Like, we get to do it in pairs.
I get to do it with my girl.
It's gonna be very cool when we get to the other side.
It is. I'm gonna cry.
We have to really trust each other to get across.
OK.
Need you to bend your knees. Alright?
Yep.
Middle of the foot.
Yep. Yep.
Second foot. Yep.
We're on. We're on.
CONTESTANTS: Whoo!
Let's go, guys. You've got this.
Ready? Yep.
BOTH: One, two. One, two.
One, two.
One, two. One, two.
MAT: Hey, they're looking good! Hey, they're looking good!
WOMAN: Yeah!
MAN: Here we go. Great job, guys.
BOTH: One, two. OLYMPIA: Bend your knees.
One, two.
WOMAN: That's very smart of them.
One, two. MAN: Nice.
One, two.
OLYMPIA: I found my best friend in Charlotte.
One, two. One, two.
She's just this gorgeous ray of sunshine.
She is full of colour. She's got this huge smile.
I just feel like she's my person
and I want to see her at the top of the summit.
One... Hold me tighter.
..two. One...
So, I need her to get across.
Hold tighter.
One... Hold.
I've got you. I've got you.
MAT: Nice and slow.
MAN: Take your time.
WOMAN: Oh, that leg's getting wobbly, eh?
Look at me. Yep.
Stand up straight.
Ready? BOTH: One, two.
Lean forward. CHARLOTTE: OK.
WOMAN: You've got this, girls.
Gotcha. Gotcha, baby.
I've got you.
CHARLOTTE: I'm scared!
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop.
You're not falling. Look at me. Look at me.
Breathe. Come closer. Oh, no.
I've got you. I've got you. I've got you.
Ready? Olympia, I'm...
You're not falling.
Look at me. Look at me.
Breathe. (BLEEP).
I've got you.
Look at me.
I'm going. Oh... No, you're not.
You're not. You're not.
Great job, Olympia!
You've got this, guys. WOMAN: You've got this!
Ready? Lean into me.
Two.
BOTH: One, two. One, two.
Step over. Step over.
One, two.
Amazing!
WOMAN: Nice work, girls!
MAN: You've got this, girls.
Two. Bend your knees.
OK. One...
Two.
BOTH: One, two.
One, two. One, two.
CHARLOTTE (VOICE OVER): I trust Olympia with my whole heart.
She's just the world's biggest emotional cheerleader.
Two.
She sees me for who I am.
She sees me as a whole person.
MAN # 1: Yes!
(HIKERS CHEERING)
MAN # 2: Well done!
I don't know if I could do it without her.
I'm so proud of you.
(SOBBING) I'm so proud of you.
Oh my god!
Oh my god. You're amazing!
You almost had me... I know!
You almost gave up on me!
(LAUGHS)
I cannot believe we did it!
I can't believe I...
(INDISTINCT)
No! No! Not today!
She did that so easy.
(INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC PLAYING)
You are amazing!
I love you too much.
I love you more!
BOTH: One, two, one. (LAUGHING)
(SIMMONE EXHALES)
SIMMONE (VOICE OVER): In a bit of pain.
And I don't know what I've done.
I want to keep fighting
but I don't want to do any permanent damage to my arm.
Or, you know, I don't wanna end up in hospital
or not being able to use the arm.
I've still got to go home and I've still got to be a mum.
So...
I gotta know what I'm going to do.
(LAUGHTER AND PEOPLE CHEERING)
MAN: Well done! MAN #2: Legends!
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
Oh my god.
This is so cool. So cool.
I reckon that was the hardest challenge.
It's the hardest challenge.
I honestly don't know
how people are going to be able to do that with different weights.
Like, Matty and Tay are going to struggle a heap.
I'm just worried,
because I'm obviously the heaviest here.
No-one can match my weight, sort of thing...
MAN: And no-one can match my abilities.
(LAUGHTER)
We're not failing. We've got this.
Let's do it, mate.
(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)
TAYLOR: I'm a pretty big dude. I'm pretty heavy.
You know, I have 20-plus kilos on most people here,
including Matty.
I feel like it could be an advantage,
it could be a disadvantage.
But...
Yeah, it's going to be really hard.
These things aren't my cup of tea.
Even just loading the bags is a task.
All together, there's over 200 grand.
We can't leave any more bags.
Put your pack down first. Yep.
You lean over...
JAI (VOICE OVER): In the hopes of not dropping any more bags...
MAN: You guys got this! You can do it!
..Mat and Taylor have been trusted with the task
of hauling Charlotte and Olympia's bags...
I'll hold this here.
..as well as their own across the ravine.
I think it's alright, bro. Yep.
MAN: Looks, great. Good, boys! Good job!
Whoo!
It's... Just as long as you've got enough room
for the next bag.
JAI: But with double the bags comes double the risk.
What are going to do with this fourth one, man?
(SUSPENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN: Line up parallel.
I think it's alright.
Lovely.
I'll let go.
WOMAN: Good job, well done, fellas.
Good? That's good.
Yeah.
(INDISTINCT)
Whoo!
I think it's alright.
WOMAN: Thanks, Matty. Well done!
I'll take the lead. Yeah, tell me what you need.
I'll follow your lead. I got you. I trust you, mate.
We've got this, man. WOMAN: You got it, boys.
Just settle the nerves.
Settle my nerves too.
One, two. One, two.
One, two. One, two. One, two.
One, two. One, two.
MAN: Good job, guys. You're killing it!
WOMAN: Good job! Take your time!
Stay steady.
One, two. One...
You're going around the back of this. OK?
(PANTING)
MAN: Wait! Steady!
WOMAN: Oh my goodness.
I reckon it's harder for the big boys.
Yeah.
(PANTING)
MAT (VOICE OVER): We're holding on to each other's hands,
because you shift either way with the wind
and the movement of the ropes.
Just trying to hold each other steady.
That's near impossible.
(GRUNTING AND PANTING)
MAN: You guys got this! You can do it.
Let's go. Uh-huh.
BOTH: Two. One, two.
One, two. One, two.
One, two.
(GRUNTING) WOMAN: Wow. Jesus!
Hold on. I'm losing my grip.
MAN: Steady!
WOMAN: Just take your time.
Hold on to me. I feel like you're losing your...
I can't with my left hand. I've got no fingers, bro.
Shuffle. Let's just shuffle. See?
(EXHALES) That's it.
(EXHALES)
One, two. One, two. One, two.
WOMAN: Amazing!
One, two.
MAN: Go, boys! Homestretch. One, two. One, two.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
WOMAN: Yes!
(CHEERING)
MAN # 1: Well done!
(CHEERING) Well done!
MAN # 2: Well done. WOMAN: Good job.
Love your work. You got me through that, man.
He's like, "Hold me, hold me I got not fingers!"
"Hold me, I'm blind. I'm delicate".
"I can't grip you".
MAT (VOICEOVER): That was so much tougher than I expected.
Just a really hard, hard obstacle.
Just brutally hard.
(CHEERING)
Think of these amazing moments. This is another one.
You can do this. You...got this.
MAN: Got to get the money over, get the bags over!
JAI (NARRATING): With over a quarter of a million
in shared cash and stolen money
hanging by a thread...
Alright, dude, this is going to be a heavy load...
Yeah.
WOMAN: Just take your time. MAN: It's a lot of cash.
..they can't afford any more setbacks
if they want to reach the summit on time.
WOMAN: Uh-oh.
Oh my god, it's leaning.
That's crazy.
Oh my god. Nerve-racking.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN: Boys! Boys, Charlotte's is sliding.
No, we're good, we're good, we're good.
It's alright. We're good, guys.
(CHEERING)
Yeah, boys!
Yeah!
Get that cash across.
OK, done well.
And when we do, we never back down.
We do it again. That's it, mate. That's it.
WOMAN: Nice, boys. WOMAN # 2: Great job, guys.
We did it, mate.
Thanks, Matty.
SHARKSEY: For (BLEEP) sake. This is bullshit.
Hey, you're alright. Oi, you'll get them.
Because both ours went off the cliff.
JAI (VOICE OVER): Overcoming this obstacle takes teamwork.
Ready?
One. Two. Two.
BOTH: One, two.
One. I'm leaning forward too far.
Come towards me. Pull over. Yep.
BOTH: One...
Only by trusting each other and working together
can they get across. BOTH: One.
(SIGHS) Oh!
Oh my god!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Oh!
That is hard.
JAI (NARRATING): But for two of them,
the fear is becoming too much.
And in these conditions,
the last thing you should do is lose your head.
(CHEERING)
MAN: Well done!
WOMAN: Thanks for showing us how it's done.
Don't let this bullshit get to ya.
How the hell are Sharksey and Simmone
going to do it again?
Hopefully, they just watch a little bit.
But Sharksey can't stop wigging out over there.
SHARKSEY: It hurt me ego,
and the other thing as well, the bags down in the water, wet.
I know, I know.
Our drink bottles are (BLEEP).
It's just disgusting.
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
But...
How (BLEEP) stupid.
There's no way I wouldn't have worked it out.
(INDISTINCT)
No, I'm pissed about the double standards.
All these things and now it's come it's ahead.
I've had enough.
You alright?
You want to sit down?
Here, come and sit down. Come and sit down.
Give them my bag, darling.
(SOBBING LIGHTLY AND SIGHING)
You want to come and sit down?
SIMMONE (VOICE OVER): I'm just right on the edge of falling.
(EXHALES)
If I lose this opportunity...
that will be the end of any cash for me and Mads.
And I'm not going to be able to get myself back out,
not in front of everybody else.
It will be it.
(SUSPENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
WOMAN: Are you alright? Do you want to sit down?
(SIMMONE SIGHS)
SHARKSEY: Come here. I'm anti-panic attack.
Breathe.
Ready? In through your nose.
(INHALES)
Out through your mouth. (EXHALES)
SIMMONE (VOICE OVER): It's hard. Way harder than I thought.
(EXHALES)
I'm injured...
and I'm thinking about what's at stake.
(EXHALES)
And with that fear...
Out through your mouth.
..the panic attack has been brewing.
It's a really hard place to be.
Everything is heightened.
And you're hurting really badly.
Two, three...
It's pure hell.
Six, seven, eight.
But I need this.
One, two, three, four.
I think I need this...
for the money, but...
I also need it to get a bit of me back.
A couple of years of just shit.
Losing all my hair.
I've really struggled.
But I am a fighter.
Right, ready? We'll go again. In, out.
If I can find that spark I used to have.
Tap into the old me...
Alright. Ready, you can go again. In, out.
..it would just push me through.
Give it a shake.
(EXHALES)
Hold on. OK. Ready?
Nah, I've got it. I'm back.
Back? Yeah.
MAT: Is everyone OK?
There's a lot of emotions over here.
Got it again? Yeah, got it still.
OK, yeah.
MAN: You're killing it, guys. Take your time.
MAN # 2: We'll all get across. We're one big team.
Wow. Go back, go back, go back! I'm going to fall.
Bend your knees!
JAI (NARRATING): A treacherous crossing...
Bend your knees. Bend your knees. Bend your knees.
Too far.
..has pushed the group to breaking point.
So far, 8 of the 11 remaining hikers
have successfully crossed the ravine.
Oh my god!
That was so difficult!
It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
Awesome, guys! Yes!
Holy shit, that was difficult!
JAI (NARRATING)): But on the other side...
one hiker has broken down.
And another...is losing his mind.
Yeah, we just go to stop. Yeah. We just...
MAN: What did you... What's going on over there?
What's happening?
Sharksey's a bit of an emotional wreck at the minute
and he's going a bit stir-crazy.
MAN # 2: What the hell is going on?
Well, I would like--
OLYMPIA (VOICE OVER): I can see him at the other side of the cliff
having a Grade A meltdown.
Mate, you just fell off the obstacle.
That's your problem.
It's got nothing to do with anything else
apart from you failing that task.
It's not a friendly conversation they're having over there.
Nah.
MAN: Time's ticking, sun's already starting to go down.
He needs to push through and join the rest of the group.
MAN # 2: We can't afford this.
MAT: Sharkey!
SHARKSEY: But I don't care.
I'm worried for him. I hope he's alright.
I hope we can right the ship here,
but, you know, it's not looking good.
Come on!
Shark!
MAN: Sounds like he's out.
Sharksey!
WOMAN: Sharksey!
(FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYING)
SHARKSEY: Get me a chopper. I am done.
JAI (NARRATING): Driven mad by the mountain,
Sharksey's share of the prize pot hangs in the balance.
Divided by a crack in the mountain...
WOMAN: Oh, my god.
MAN: Look at the spider monkey.
..all but three hikers
have successfully made the treacherous crossing.
Matt has volunteered to return for Tiff,
who was stranded without a partner.
On you, Matty!
(WOMAN CHEERING)
TIFF: And eight. And nine.
And ten.
And lean. Lean.
MAT: You're a beast. Come on.
TIFF: And 11.
And step 12.
(ALL CHEERING)
OLYMPIA: That was incredible!
JAI (NARRATING): Now, only Simmone and Sharksey remain.
What's going on over there?
Oh, not good.
Just refusing to cross?
TIFF: Sharksey's a bit over it,
and, um, Simmone is deciding what to do.
JAI (NARRATING): Now, the group are faced
with their toughest challenge yet.
Change Sharkey's mind and convince him to cross...
or lose his $53,000 forever.
(RADIO BEEPS)
Sharksey, are you there, bud?
Nah, mate. Like, look, come on. Hear me out.
Come on, mate. Don't be like that. You'll get over this.
Just get over this and we'll chat when we get back to camp, mate.
We don't want you leaving like this, mate.
He can't do this.
LOCHIE: Sharkey's a pretty proud fella.
But this is no time to throw the toys out of the cot.
Fifty-three thousand can changes peoples' lives.
It's a massive amount of money
and he's just taken that off the mountain.
How was his state of mind?
He doesn't want to.
He's not keen.
I think he's made his mind up.
Sharksey!
Sounds like he's out.
Darling, this is not good. What are you doing?
I'm going home.
No.
SIMMONE: I'm just going to end up crying all afternoon.
Just, don't worry.
It's not your fault.
I (BLEEP).
I just don't want to go over there though.
I don't want to go. You have to.
You have to win. No.
Yes, yes. You'll be fine. You can do this.
No (BLEEP) way.
You can do this. Look, that was the plan.
I'd appreciate you not filming this.
For (BLEEP) sake, dudes. I told you...
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
MAN # 1: Come on, Sharksey.
WOMAN # 1: It's just very unnecessary.
WOMAN # 2: Mm, yeah, biggest challenge
should be getting across the (BLEEP) thing.
Not this other bullshit.
WOMAN # 3: Yeah.
MAN # 2: Not only that, like,
another big thing is, like, that's another 50 grand gone.
WOMAN # 4: It's a lot of money.
WOMAN # 5: Can't lose both of them. I don't want to lose any of them.
MAN # 3: Oh, you can't go like this, man.
MAT (VOICE OVER): Worst case scenario to me
is Sharksey leaves the game.
He's too big an asset to me in terms of a big personality,
shield in the game.
It's also 53 grand leaving the game.
So, it's a double whammy.
We got to go. Get Sharkey.
Yeah, mate. OK.
MAN # 1: Yeah, absolutely. Like, we might as well try.
MAT: We need to get
to the next checkpoint with all our money.
So, I need to get over there and have a chat
and see what's going on.
MAN # 2: Mat's going over to talk to him.
But, gee, it's not looking good right now.
JAI (NARRATING): As daylight fades...
WOMAN: It's getting dark. We're in the middle of nowhere.
..time has all but run out.
(HELICOPTER APPROACHES)
If Sharkey's going to make this crossing, it's now or never.
Hey. Mat.
MAT: We need you, Shark. Come on, man.
But it's not scripted, dude.
We control the narrative of the show.
They can't do...
They can't do anything if we're in front of the camera
and we're doing what we want to do.
He needs to just get on over here,
and I think he just needs a night to sleep and just reset.
CHARLOTTE: Yeah, if anyone's going to talk him off it, it's Matty.
What is it going to do?
Besides, we're here to have a good time, mate.
And I know you're not having a good time right now.
No, mate. Don't leave.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(DRONING MUSIC PLAYING)
MAT: Besides, we're out here to have a good time, mate.
SHARKSEY: I know, but...
And I know you're not having a good time right now.
No, mate. Don't leave.
Come on, man.
What about us? We want to be a part of this with you.
What about me? What about Simmone? Come with us.
Mate, so have I.
It's really challenging right now,
because I'm trying to just ease the pressure and the situation.
But he's just... He's pretty adamant.
And I finding it really hard to turn him around.
Mate, come and play the game.
SIMMONE: Are you sure, 100%
Well, at the end of the day, mate...
um, you're a grown man.
I've wasted my time coming here too.
This game can change on a dime.
I'm going across.
Sharksey's made up his mind
and I got to go back to the drawing board now
and work out what my plan is because he was a bit part of it.
(HELICOPTER FLYING OVERHEAD)
WOMAN # 1: I don't think he's coming across.
MAN: He can't go like this, man.
WOMAN # 2: So, (BLEEP)ing selfish. Yeah.
MAT: It's a horrible blow for the group.
MAN # 1: I got you, guys. I'm going to pull you over, mate.
Not only that, his pack's gone. We can't bring it across. So...
Uh, yeah, bad on all sides.
MAN # 2: Well done, guys. Good job. Well done, Matty.
Well done, Simmone, well done, mate.
(PEOPLE CLAPPING) Yay, babe, you made it.
No.
JAI (NARRATING): With the group finally reunited...
MAN: Good job, team. You're all here.
We're all here, now.
..Simmone's backpack and her share of the money
can be retrieved from the bottom of the ravine.
OLYMPIA: You're amazing, guys. Thank you.
But with Sharksey leaving the mountain...
his pack and the 53 grand inside it is gone from the game.
LOCHIE (VOICE OVER): Sharksey quit for no reason.
He's cost us time
and that could stop us making the summit.
And also, we've lost 53 grand.
But at the end of the day, this is a group environment.
It goes to someone else, it changes their life.
So, yeah, in that way, I think it's extremely selfish.
TAYLOR: There's a lot of people who would die to be here, you know.
CHARLOTTE: Yeah. I'm sure there's many moments through this
that all of us could have, you know, broken.
It's incredibly selfish.
MAN: It is. WOMAN: Yeah.
Let's get out of here. Good work today, guys.
MAN: Alright, guys, let's go, packs on!
JAI (NARRATING) Squandering the whole day at an obstacle
has cost this lot precious time that they can't afford.
With 117 kilometres to reach the summit...
they're still unaware that The Chaser
is ferociously hunting them down...
with no sign of stopping.
MAN # 1: This is it.
WOMAN # 1: This is it?
WOMAN # 2: Yeah.
MAN # 2: Well, done, everyone. Getting over the challenge today.
That was brutal. MAN # 3: Yeah.
Well done, guys. WOMAN # 3: So full on.
MAN # 2: That was hands down,
the toughest challenge we've done so far.
WOMAN # 4: So proud of everyone. That was not easy.
MAN # 3: No, it wasn't.
MAN # 4: It's a bit... Bit bitter sweet, really, isn't it?
OK? Yeah.
Alright.
I'm just going to step out. Yep, no worries.
SIMMONE (VOICE OVER): Today was a tough day.
Like, my mind and heart
had kind of gone out of the game for a sec.
WOMAN: I hope Simmone's OK.
She was really feeling it.
I mean, I don't know... Even know how many tears I've cried.
There's just been a continual flow of frustration, sadness.
So, they might go for me
being the weakest and the injured bird.
And I don't know how much time I've got left in the game.
I just don't know.
JAI (NARRATING): I told you, out here, things can change fast.
(HIGH-PITCHED SHRIEK)
And if this lot thought today was brutal,
they've got no idea what's coming for them.
MAN: These new competitors, they're not ready for this.
They're not ready for me,
and they're not ready for what's about to happen.
This time, I'm more than ready, and I'm going to win.
JAI: This mountain is going to push you beyond your limits.
Physically for sure. It's what you let happen up here.
Could break ya.
(YELLS) You can do it! (SCREAMS)
NARRATOR: On a massive Monday.
Let's play baby, let's play.
(WOMAN) When the stakes are raised.
(YELLS) There's two! (FEMALE COMPETITOR) Why is there two?
(WOMAN) The game drops one hell of a twist.
They're gonna drop a red bag, they're gonna drop a black bag.
NARRATOR: A gamble.
You must pick a side. Red, black, red, black.
NARRATOR: Divides the mountain.
I think I want Matt gone because I just can't trust him.
(WOMAN) And the gloves.. You have trust issues with me?
I've never mentioned your name to anybody.
(WOMAN)..are off.
You are lying through your teeth mate.
NARRATOR: Who goes..
I'm controlling all those people.
..home?
Who knows when that kind of pressure is on you.
What you going to do to get to the top.
