Echo 3 (2022) s01e10 Episode Script

1
Good morning.
Open the blinds, let the sun in?
It's It's really beautiful out there.
Hey.
Why don't you come outside
with me for a second?
It's really nice.
Come on.
I understand.
Um, there's breakfast if
if you want it, all right?
Come on.
It's amazing, right?
We're in Cartagena.
Actually pretty close to the ocean.
Maybe get out of those clothes
and take a shower today?
Might make you feel like yourself again.
Babe?
You're safe now. No one's gonna
hurt you, not as long as I'm here.
I won't let them. Okay?
You smell like a stranger.
Don't say that, all
right? I'm your husb
Just give me the soup.
The soup?
Listen, Amber,
your your body is
going through withdrawal.
Whatever they drugged you with, uh
Bambi and I think you
should take a sedative
- just to to help you get through it.
- No. No, no, no.
- You haven't slept in Okay, okay.
- Do not touch me with that shit!
- That's okay.
- Don't touch me with that.
I'm We're not gonna hurt you.
We're not We're not gonna
use it. I'm not gonna hurt you.
It's okay, it's okay.
- It's to help you get through the day.
- Motherfucker! Let go of me!
What the f
She's like a wild animal.
Well, that's trauma.
Yeah, I get that. She's in shock
after whatever they did to her,
but I'm I'm her husband, all right?
I mean, shouldn't I get
through to her her heart?
Just Just give her some time.
She loves you, man.
It's just heartbreaking.
Like, we saved her, but
she's not really here.
I just want her to be herself, you know?
I guess it's a process.
Exactly.
I'm not talking about my husband.
I don't think about him anymore, okay?
I never loved him. I
don't think about him.
You know, people say that the
military teaches people to be killers?
I don't think that.
- Dude
- Do you want the truth?
look at this. This
is really troubling.
I think that the ones that
already are find their way there.
That's my husband. A murderer.
That's not her. We both know that.
You'd do anything under those
circumstances to survive.
But what if she's a completely
different person now?
I don't recognize her.
Mitch should be checking
in soon on the exfil.
I can't wait to get out of
this fucking country, man.
Well, we really fucked this
place up, didn't we, amigo?
Sí, señor.
Good afternoon.
Colombians.
It is an honor for me
to be in front of all of you.
The bravest of the brave.
The strongest of the strong.
And the elite of our Armed Forces.
I am sure you will be ready
to make the Colombians
proud of their country.
I am here to sincerely thank you
and to tell you that this country
Colombia needs you.
No President wishes for war
and no commander welcomes it.
But there are times
when history obligates us
to make difficult
decisions with integrity.
Fair winds and Following Seas.
God bless you.
Mr. President!
I just need one minute.
Mr. President!
It was all very confusing.
It was a quiet night.
Suddenly we heard gunshots.
War broke out and we just
ran towards the mountains
because what else could we do?
They left us homeless, where
are we supposed to live?
With what money?
We were a peaceful community
with families and good jobs.
Huh?
And they came
like devils in the night!
They destroyed everything.
Don't worry, miss.
We will teach those
Venezuelans a lesson.
Why should we do that?
They attacked us.
Colombia attacked Venezuela first
in order to free an American woman
who was being held prisoner there.
Either way, we'll kick their asses.
Colombia attacked Venezuela
first! What don't you understand?
After Colombian forces attacked
a military base in Venezuela
hostility broke out
between the two nations.
Violeta.
Hi.
We didn't know you were coming.
I thought Ernesto was going to tell you.
No.
I came to talk to you and
to Amber before you leave.
You don't mind?
Come on.
It might be good for my sister
to talk to someone
besides the two of us.
She's a mess.
She won't eat.
Tried giving her a sedative. She, uh
Maybe you can get her to take it?
Yeah. I will try.
Hello, Amber.
I wanted to see you. It's okay?
Sure.
I'm glad that you are safe.
I'm really fucked up.
But I can see,
fundamentally, you are okay.
I remember what this was like
at night after my kidnapping.
How the terrors came back.
It was so bad,
I needed medication to sleep.
It's normal.
Medication.
Do you think it will help?
Yeah.
I killed my friend.
Someone has to be punished.
Thank you, Amberline. Thank you.
Come on.
Look at you. Come on.
- This woman is innocent.
- No, I'm not.
Yeah.
Can you see?
No.
Nobody will ever understand
what you've been through.
No, they won't.
And you must live with the
loneliness of your experience,
and not expect other people to share it.
The kidnapper had all the power,
always. And you are innocent.
- I'm not innocent.
- Yes. You are innocent, my friend.
If a drunk driver hits you with his
car, and you fall, you're wounded.
And then he drives away,
and the police chase him
and they kill him in the chase,
it's not your fault.
But they didn't kill the
driver, they killed everybody.
A massacre!
There are so many dead, I can't
keep them straight in my head.
I see.
Take your medicine.
She needs rest.
- Well, did she take the medicine?
- Not yet,
but she did say something
very interesting.
Yeah, well, hold on. I want Prince
to hear this. He's just over here.
She talked about how
many people were killed
and she said it was a massacre.
Tell him just what you told me.
She said it was a massacre.
- Massacre?
- Yeah,
which I found a little surprising,
for the Colombian Army to
do such a thing so publicly.
- Yeah.
- In fact,
my sources in the military told me
that the army wasn't involved at all.
Wait. So that's why you're here?
To question us about
a classified mission?
I was worried about her.
So what's the answer?
I'm sorry. He's right.
We can't talk to you
about classified matters.
Nope. Right, we can't.
It would be illegal
for us to talk about it.
- "Classified matters?"
- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- Classified, you understand?
- Did you see the news?
- No, not lately.
- This is escalating into a little war,
and there are factions
between both countries
that they really want to do a big war.
Do you understand that?
And they don't care
why or how it starts.
They don't care, even if
it's started by you guys
pretending to be the Colombian Army.
- Do you deny it?
- Yeah, I do.
- Yeah.
- Hey, babe.
Are you okay?
I'll take the sleep medicine.
All right.
- Come and sit down by
- Can you give it to me?
I can do it myself.
Sure.
Don't worry, baby. Be home soon.
Not going home.
This is my last favor, and it's
not for you guys. It's for Amber.
You must leave my country immediately.
Tensions keep rising.
The Colombian raid on Venezuela
was immediately answered with an attack
on a Colombian base
by Venezuelan forces.
Four missiles were launched.
There seems to be no end in sight.
I ordered your favorite.
I'm not hungry.
How did it go?
How involved are you?
I want you to tell me exactly what
you know about what is going on.
- I know exactly the same thing as you.
- Yeah?
They rescued her, which is the
most important thing, and that's it.
It's over.
I think it's just the beginning.
Well,
it's possible that Colombia needs a war.
Is that right?
I don't believe you.
We need money.
Colombia doesn't need money.
Colombia needs a lot of money.
The last time we got money
was the "Plan Colombia"
for the war on drugs.
Since then, the Americans have
basically abandoned us, financially.
The Left is on the rise. You know why?
Because the government is broke
and not delivering on its promises.
And if we're not careful
the Left will win and
we're going to be screwed,
and then we will be
a mess like Venezuela.
Yes. We need a war.
Because war means money
and money brings stability.
Okay.
Don't look at me like that.
You know me very well, so my
opinion shouldn't surprise you.
Your opinion doesn't surprise me.
Perhaps you are correct
from an economic standpoint.
Oh.
But morally, darling,
I am disgusted by you.
Let's change topic. Hmm?
Can we have a nice weekend together,
and put things we can't change aside?
Hey, where are you going?
I didn't create this situation.
I'm merely pointing out all the angles.
Please be careful!
You know,
Violeta is right.
We started a war.
Do you have second thoughts?
Course I have second thoughts.
Goddamn, a lot of people
had to die for her freedom.
Yeah, and they're not our
responsibility, okay? They're just not.
She is.
None of this is right.
It's just what we did,
and now we have to carry our
burdens like everybody else.
I'm gonna go check on her.
Fuck.
Dude, she's not in the room.
I'm gonna check the stairs.
Heading out.
Watch out for cops.
Listen, she couldn't have gotten
very far. You check the main square.
She's not here. I can't find her.
I found her.
You can't be out in public right now.
This is where I wanna be.
We're wanted, and if
if we get caught
Maybe I wanna get caught.
Not going home with you guys.
So what, you don't need me anymore?
I don't need you to protect me.
I don't need you to keep me safe.
- Come on.
- I don't need you to look out for me.
- I've got it.
- Please.
- You're not coming home?
- No, I'm not.
I release you.
And what about Eric?
Get me out of it.
Me?
You just told me you
didn't need me anymore.
You gotta make things
right with him, Bug.
I mean, he gave up his life for you.
He could have been a senator
Fucking president someday.
He still can.
No, not anymore. He
fucking loves you, man.
He loves the idea of me. He rescued
me because he can't stand to lose.
How did you become so heartless?
He took a bullet for you,
and you took a vow, Bug.
You gotta make it right.
Only God can make it right.
In here.
You're out of line, and you're wrong.
If there's one thing that I learned,
having all this blood on my hands
and now you've got some on yours too
it doesn't matter if you
pray to God for forgiveness.
It's whether you can forgive yourself.
And that's the work we gotta put in.
Now let's get the fuck out of here.
Wait, wait.
All right. All right.
Talk to me. We're in Plaza Boulevard.
Wait for me there, I'm on my way.
Listen up.
New exfil from Mitch,
deserted beach house
near an airstrip with
Babe?
You coming?
Going to the beach house. We
post up, wait for a signal.
We drive to the strip.
We fly low to San Diego.
Señor President.
You again?
Don't touch me.
I need confirmation that
you or someone in the Army
authorized the attack on Venezuela.
This is ridiculous. You need to make
an appointment like everyone else.
Did you do it?
If you authorized it,
there has to be records.
Sooner or later it will come out.
What will come out?
That you know exactly
how everything started.
You know for a fact the
Colombian Army wasn't involved.
You know the only ones to blame
are the two Americans
wearing the Colombian flag.
But you are not going
to do anything about it.
And you do not plan on
telling Venezuela the truth.
Why?
Perhaps you think war
is good for the economy.
Perhaps you are grateful to the
Americans for starting a war you wanted
but didn't have the
courage to start yourself.
With all due respect, Mr. President,
you will not survive this lie.
You need to arrest the Americans
and tell Venezuela the truth.
Do it for the good of your presidency.
Are you threatening me?
You have no proof.
I have your honor.
Good morning, sir.
How can I help you?
Is it fast?
Fast enough.
Here's what's up.
Violeta Matíz pressured the president.
Puerto's shutting down all air traffic.
There's a nationwide alert.
Uh-huh.
Be careful. There's military everywhere.
All right, let's get
off this main road now.
Let's turn here.
Fuck, roadblock.
Bug, don't worry. We'll be okay.
I'm going around.
Oh, fuck this. Fuck. Jesus.
- How far away are we?
- Two miles. Less than two.
Put the guns away, put 'em out of sight.
There's fucking cops everywhere.
Yo, this is getting really
tight. Where are you now?
I'm at the harbor waiting on you.
Right.
We're gonna get caught in here.
There's a market up there
we could cut through.
- Let's just go. Let's just go.
- Okay.
We're gonna go on foot.
Just take it.
Let's go. Now!
Left, left, left.
We're on foot in the market.
Cut through. The harbor
is on the south side.
Roger.
- Ready?
- Yeah.
Let's go.
Just keep going. Let's go.
Okay.
Sweep the market and bring them to me.
Yes, sir!
Look for them everywhere.
Let's go!
Block all the exits.
Attention, permission
to neutralize the men.
I repeat, neutralize the two men.
This way.
With me.
- Sir.
- Update.
We have reports that
they are heading south.
They killed some soldiers.
Listen up!
The Americans are not
leaving here alive.
Not even the woman. Understood?
- Understood!
- Let's move!
They're somewhere around here.
Split up!
Yes?
It's okay. You're gonna be okay.
You're gonna be fine.
Coming in.
There are 20 guys out there,
south side is sealed off.
We're not gonna be able to
fight our way through this.
Take this one.
Amber, stay here.
- There's two over there.
- There's two down there.
I'm gonna check up
there. Be ready to move.
Move! Move!
I'll take these guys.
Left!
Get down.
I'm okay.
- All right.
- We're clear. Let's go.
Let's go, go, go.
Move! Move! Move! Move!
Move! Move!
Get low! Get low!
Come on! Let's go!
There he is.
It's a half hour to the airstrip.
We're almost home.
Stay put. I'll pick
you up in the morning.
All clear.
Incoming.
Look, Amber.
Tell me what to do to make this right.
How can I explain it to you?
Try.
I'm listening.
I went through this experience
and I'm a different person.
I'm not the same.
I feel like we need to clean house.
I don't wanna be around you.
I think this entire setup is a mistake.
I wanna start over.
I don't know how
or in what fashion.
But I can't go back to our house
and act like none of this happened.
- That's okay.
- I can't. Okay?
I'm not the same person either.
You thought you were dead. I
came back from the dead too,
because I realized my life
is nothing without you in it.
That's a nice sentiment
and I'm sure you believe it,
but it's a lie.
- You can't just say that.
- Eric, we don't work.
Don't invalidate my feelings.
That's a nice therapy word for you.
I know what I'm feeling.
I love you.
Although, you're really fucking
pissing me off right now,
pushing me away like you always do,
because you don't think you
deserve that kind of love.
Or anything good for that matter.
Fuck you, Eric.
But it's true.
The truth is, I was kidnapped
and you couldn't rescue me.
So you threw a tantrum.
It looked like a bloodbath.
I didn't want you to kill
all those people for me.
Eric, I cannot look at you
without being reminded of that.
And how are you supposed to look at me
and be reminded every day
that I ruined your life?
Fuck my life.
Who cares? I'll get a new life.
Well, that's not so easy for me.
Come on.
I just can't blink an eye
and pretend it didn't happen.
So that's it?
There's no room for forgiveness?
We have no foundation.
What you can have now is a happy life.
And we can build that foundation.
Don't just give up on us.
Jesus, we c we've come so far.
So you you get to play savior?
Spill the blood. You clean it up.
That's what I signed up for.
I am a soldier.
What you said on those tapes, Amber
I heard you. You're not wrong.
But then for a change,
I get this opportunity,
this one chance to do something
right instead of righteous.
I get to save my wife.
Not God and country, but the person
I love most in this fucking world.
And now, at the most crucial
time, when I need you most,
everything is slipping
through my fingers.
You have to let me go.
I can't. I won't.
If I go home now, I
will feel like a fraud.
Like I am trying to inhabit
a life with dead skin.
If you love me, do not fight me.
Give this to me.
You're breaking my heart.
There are worse things that can happen.
