Tomorrow, When the War Began (2016) s01e05 Episode Script

1 If any prisoner is talking about escape, I'd like you to tell me.
Let's make a pact.
The Ellie-Corrie pact.
The ECP.
I overanalyse things sometimes.
They were definitely gunshots.
If we can hear their gunfire, it means they're getting closer.
Thank you for praying with me.
I want to break up.
- I need a doctor.
- What happened? - She's been shot.
- What's her name? - Corrie Mackenzie.
- Corrie.
Do you remember when we used to laugh and cry? And do you remember When we dreamed of things and places to go? We'll stand together and forever Hold on, be strong Things'll be just like they used to be Where we belong In the time that was before.
Wake up.
It's me.
Wake up.
I can't sleep.
The sun's coming up Lee! Lee! Halt! Move! Follow me! Nurse.
You try it again, you'll be locked up.
- Just five minutes.
- It's not up to me.
Once they've had a chance to question her, then My daughter wouldn't hurt a fly.
What happened to those soldiers, that's got nothing to do with her.
What do you think'll happen? At least tell me if she's recovering.
Nurse.
Just get back to your rounds.
Stay back! Ugh! Corrie! I'm here! I'm right here! No, Corrie! Corrie, it's Mum! Tell us where your friends are.
Tell us where they are .
.
and all this stops.
Go to hell.
Like I said, sir, there are others we could be questioning.
The parents from the camp, the woman cleaning your headquarters.
Are you trying to blame me for your mistakes? No sir.
So you hid in a water tank and nearly got shot, but we still have no idea about Corrie or Kevin? You weren't there.
It's much tougher than you think.
They've got more patrols and more organised.
Kevin's probably being interrogated.
- Yeah, if he's still alive.
- Homer! There's no reason to imagine the worst.
Isn't there? They've had him for three days.
Maybe he's tougher than you think.
Either way, it's only a matter of time before they start questioning Corrie.
Yeah, if they haven't already.
Kevin might be out of reach at the showgrounds, but the hospital's on the edge of town.
You want to bust her out? I'm not going to leave her in there.
Corrie took a bullet.
How safe is it to take her out of hospital and bring her back here? She could be OK, sitting up in bed, being held prisoner now, for all we know.
She'd do it for any of us.
But I know I can't force anyone to help.
I'm in.
OK.
We go at first light.
- Who's that? - I think it's Rachel Maxwell.
All of you, stay in line! No fuss! Get off! Arms up.
Next.
If she dies If she dies and I'm not there Don't torture yourself.
They'll look after her.
Any word? They can't keep you in the dark.
That's exactly the point, they can.
If there's anything I can do I'd better go check on the boys.
Where are we going? Down, down.
We can get out of here.
Jack's found a blind spot.
From there, the spotlights don't reach.
We've been taking turns out here.
The guards only check it a couple of times a night, give or take.
- Give or take?! - Shh! I clipped a hole in this fence two nights ago.
Nobody saw.
No.
They'll shoot you all.
We're all going.
Jack and Liz, you, me, Chris.
- Chris knows? - We'll tell him tomorrow.
If anybody wants out of here, it's him.
He's not up for this.
You mean YOU'RE not up for this.
Look, look.
What happened to Corrie could happen to any of the kids at any time.
We're doing this to find them.
So it's decided? Yeah, it's decided.
Hey.
You're having a bad dream.
Did I wake you? I was so scared today.
I'm glad you were with me.
I want to be with you.
You don't have to come to the hospital if you don't want to.
I just don't think you should guilt-trip people like that.
- Guilt trip? - They're your friends.
Of course they were never going to let you do this on your own.
I said it was their decision.
They can think for themselves.
We're all angry about what happened to Corrie.
But it's dangerous.
For her and for us.
What if we hadn't rescued you? That was before we knew what was really going on out there.
And it nearly got you all killed.
The guy was making jokes about it, about Mum.
Like what? Like, "If I was the Colonel, I'd make her my maid too.
" - That kind of stuff.
- That's ridiculous.
She's been teaching the officers English.
That's what I said! Seriously, I would have punched him.
Before this happened, the only thing to do around here was gossip.
Nothing's changed.
After tonight, we don't have to worry about that anymore.
Chris! Chris! You need to wear your hat.
He forgot his hat.
OK, go along.
I'm sure he could have survived without it.
When you finish up today, Dad and I need to talk to you, OK? Mum, I'm all over it.
You told him already? You weren't around.
We don't have much time left.
If you have any doubts, you know you can talk to me.
Chill out.
It'll be OK, Mum.
Back to work! Thanks for the hat.
Come on, you.
Over here.
Robyn.
You're amazing.
Um, do you want a knife or? I remembered Grandad used to just push the shinbones out through the fur.
Then the whole skin just peels off pretty easily.
Why'd you come back? When I saw Corrie was hurt Leaving was selfish.
I'm more of a help here.
- More than me, anyway.
- Come on.
You haven't exactly been sitting on your bum.
Oh, you know what I mean.
Those guys are practically warriors.
What am I? Homer's girlfriend.
At least you've got a boyfriend.
None of us saw this coming.
We're all still working out where we fit.
God, I will never not find that disgusting.
Soldier.
Get down.
Here.
Water.
Looks like only two permanent guards on this side.
We still need some kind of distraction.
Like? Like I don't know.
Start a fire.
Starting a fire.
That's been every plan since you were six.
Yep, and it's worked every time.
Why am I here, anyway? Sorry, did you have something better to do? Why didn't you bring Lee? How many times have the nurses patched you up after some stupid stunt? What, last year or all up? So you know the layout.
Pretty much.
Except for the maternity ward.
I just wish I'd known Lee before all this happened.
Like I know Corrie and Robyn .
.
and you.
Don't tell me about your boyfriend problems.
Such a scumbag! I've noticed .
.
you and Lee have been getting friendly.
Surprised you notice anything with Fi around.
Touche.
Hey.
Middle of the lawn.
- What is it? - Something better than a fire.
With the Landie gone, we'll need something else to transport Corrie.
I can handle that.
Are you sure? Why would I say it if I didn't think I could do it? I can help with directions.
Alright, done.
Keeping supply lines open while there is rebel activity right across the sector may require more men than has been assigned to my command.
Of course, sir.
Local resistance has been much more disruptive than expected, but I have a special forces unit conducting daily search-and-destroy missions.
Yes, sir.
I shall deal with it.
- I'll pick that up.
- Leave it.
- Colonel, may I speak with you? - Shh! Guard! Deliver this immediately to the Sergeant.
I understand this all can't be easy for you.
Do not patronise me.
You have something to say? If you want to keep order at the showgrounds, it doesn't help to separate parents from their children.
There was a local girl, Corrie Mackenzie, who was brought into the hospital with a gunshot wound a few days ago.
I'm friends with her mother, a nurse at the hospital.
And yet she hasn't been allowed to see her daughter.
It seems incredibly cruel.
This does not concern me.
A wounded civilian is not a priority.
There's a weak spot in your camp security.
Your men haven't found it, but some of the prisoners have.
Get me some details on Corrie's condition .
.
make sure your doctor cares for her and I'll tell you where it is.
Here.
A little care package for later.
Antiseptic cream, some penicillin.
If you don't need it, the kids might.
I just hate to leave you behind.
Oh, don't worry about that.
Are we crazy to do this? I can't tell what's crazy or not anymore.
You're not crazy.
I would walk through fire to see Corrie.
Go find Ellie.
OK, check the fence now! Liz.
Check the perimeter! Check if it's secure! Everyone, step back from the fence.
Step back from the fence! Oh no.
Here! - Come on, let's go.
- We have it! Attention! Attention! Due to attempted breakout, there'll be no rations tonight.
I repeat, there will be no rations tonight.
I was with Chris all day, so it wasn't him.
So how? Do you think it was luck they found it, or did someone rat you out? No.
If someone ratted us out, we'd be in the cage right now.
Hey, have you got a sec? Yeah.
Well, food's been cancelled tonight, so I've got plenty of time.
Yeah, I heard.
Where were you when all this was going on? I was working.
Marking their essays? That's not what I do.
I know.
I've heard the rumours.
Do you know anything about this? It was you, wasn't it? Rach? I'm sorry.
You told them? If you got caught I couldn't bear it.
Liz, stop! Hey! Hey! This is not going to help! You had no right! Let's go.
It's Corrie's medical chart.
She's gonna be OK.
Why didn't you tell me you've been working for the man who threatened our son? You would have tried to stop me.
Of course I would have tried to stop you.
I am trying to save our family.
So am I.
You were about to risk our son's life.
And mine.
For what? So you and Jack could go become war heroes? Because Fi needs us.
She's been doing without you for years, Daniel.
I suspect she doesn't need you now.
Wait, slower.
Go slower.
Got it.
You were going to give that car job to Lee, weren't you? I mean, if you think you can do it.
It's not happening.
It's OK.
I thought you'd finished those.
Yeah.
Not quite.
Maybe you don't need them anymore.
I can't believe you ever needed them.
I needed them.
You didn't know me before, OK? I needed them.
I just mean you're awesome.
Awesome? - What is that? - Well and beautiful.
No, Homer.
Can't you hear how pointless that sounds? It's not pointless.
I want to be .
.
smart .
.
and gutsy .
.
and brave.
But instead, I come from a long line of flakes.
What hope have I got? People always called me a feral idiot.
I hate it .
.
but I kind of know it's true.
And guess what? Being a feral idiot has come in handy lately.
When this is all over .
.
and you look at everything you've had to do, you'll get what I mean by 'awesome'.
OK? Where are you going? I'm sorry, I .
.
I just need to be awesome somewhere else.
So we all clear on the plan? Yeah, we've got it.
We all know what we need to do.
And we'll meet you behind the hospital.
OK.
But if it does hit the fan, we don't go to the rendezvous point.
We meet back here, OK? Nothing will go wrong.
- All good? - Yep.
With the process of rebuilding underway, peace is within our reach.
Unfortunately, some of you are still being uncooperative.
Oh, no.
Some of you know this man, as well as his fellow rebels.
You also know their whereabouts yet you have chosen to remain silent.
We need to know where they are.
If we do not have the information by tomorrow morning, this man will be punished.
We say nothing.
We can't leave Kevin at their mercy.
- Yes we can.
- We need to save him.
No we don't.
Like you said, we'd walk through fire to save our kids.
Come on.
There weren't this many yesterday.
The plan can still work.
Lee, you don't have to do this.
I know I don't have to, but I want to.
Robyn! Told you it was a thing! Country people are so trusting.
OK.
Great.
Manual.
Who even has gears anymore? I just realised, we could have taken Mum's car.
It's probably just sitting in the garage.
Fi.
We were walking on a street Shackle agent, me carefree Gluey fingers from sappy trees In the far corner a bloody knee You're my aeroplane You're my aeroplane Raise a flower, fade the day Calling names and fighting planes We both end up under Mars Stars studded blanket us You're my aeroplane.
What now? Look at it.
They've pimped Mum's ride! There's a spare set of keys.
Fi! No! We'll find another car.
We'll be late for the rendezvous.
Do what you want, but I'm taking this car.
Do you think punishing Kevin and keeping him locked up in that cage is going to help you win this war? If just one rebel stops and thinks about the consequences of his actions, then, yes, it makes a difference.
- But he's just a boy! - No, he isn't! The moment he ambushed my soldiers in that lawnmower attack he became a rebel.
Now, I take no pleasure in his punishment.
Whether they know or not, those parents aren't going to give you any information.
He's not one of theirs.
He's alone in there.
It upsets you, but I have a mission to complete.
One day we might all be at someone's mercy.
I'd like to think there'd be someone in my corner.
This war will end, and when it does you'll have to live with what you've done here.
We all will.
I don't believe you're a bad man.
You're only doing a job.
You really do care about him.
I can see that.
It is most admirable.
But I do not have that luxury.
Personal feelings are .
.
subordinate to my orders.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
I can make you no promises.
But I shall deal with it.
Thank you.
I can't.
You should go back.
You get the key? Fi, are you OK? Fi, what happened in there? Doesn't matter.
We've got to go get the others.
Ellie, we found her.
Hey.
Nice to see you too.
You look good.
You look great.
How're you feeling? Like I've been shot in the stomach.
The doctor's keeping me pretty dosed up on the good stuff, but .
.
I like him.
- Speaking of doctors.
- I know! I'm a doctor.
Folks'd be stoked.
Is Kevin OK? Yeah.
He's fine.
I think .
.
I think I broke up with him.
You were just honouring the ECP.
Exactly.
But it looks like you're not, hmm? Corrie.
What are we doing? What's it look like? We're busting you out.
Yeah.
Let's wag.
School sucks.
Can't wait to finish.
Come on, I'll help you up.
Help me? Ellie.
You were right.
Doesn't matter anymore.
Corrie? Corrie! - Hey! - Hold it! Help her, now! Easy, easy.
We will.
Corrie? Corrie? Non-responsive.
Don't stop! Don't you dare stop! Drop them! Drop them! Drop them! Put them down! Get down! Down on the floor! Go, go, go, go! Go, go, go! Now! Quickly! Let's go, let's go, let's go! What are you doing? Come on! It's dead! Let's go, let's go.
Come on, come on! Go! Come on, come on! Where is he? - We've got to wait for Homer.
- How long? As long as it takes.
We can't go.
Might have to.
Come on, Homer! Move it! Come on, Homer! Homer! Get in! Go, Ellie.
Go, go, go! Agh! Attention, attention.
All prisoners to be assembled in the main compound.
Repeat, all prisoners to the main compound.
Get up.
Move.
Come on.
Move, move.
On the chair.
- Secure? - Secure.
If any of you come forward with information about the rebels, you will be rewarded.
You'll never win.
Do it.
I need to tell you both something! - What's going on? - I saw Fi.
- Where? Is she OK? - She was in the house.
Right there in front of me.
She was right there but I couldn't talk to her! I couldn't do anything, and then she was gone! It's OK.
It's OK.
It's OK.
You, come with us! Move, move! Get back! Now! - Get back! - Stop! Get back, now! I said, get back! - Argh! - Stay down! Rachel! Rachel! No! No! - Rachel! - Get away from the fence, now! Get back! Get away from the fence! Get away.
Get away! - Get back.
- Rachel! You think you're going to touch me with those hands later, think again.
Fine.
You can eat grass.
I was pretty awesome, wasn't I? You sure were.
Wake up.
How's Ellie? It's me.
Wake up.
Hey, smelly Ellie, wake up.
We've got things to do.
Like? Everything.
We'll beat this, Cor.
Jack Linton.
Daniel Maxwell.
Do what they want.
- Where are they taking us? - No idea.
The showground is too well guarded for us to break them out.
There is another way to stop people from leaving.
I don't want to drag you into anything.
Stay far away from here.
I will.
We have a plan in the works.
