Our Girl (2014) s03e08 Episode Script

1 - He's stepped on some kind of trap.
- You take the guys to the RV point, sort out the medevac.
You know our grid reference.
- I'll stay with the boss.
- Right, guys, on me.
You cannot wait here.
Bandits here.
They see you, they kill you.
- What type of bandits? - Drugs.
We know roughly where they are from the tracker.
They could be anywhere.
They'd kill us cos we're Army? They hate Army most.
We're not safe here.
They're terrorising the village.
Boss? Boss? - Here.
- Don't waste it.
That's the last of it.
We need to find somewhere to hide.
We can't stay here.
The tracker's still in the hut.
Right, we need to move.
This is way too dangerous.
Once they've picked up the signal, they'll come and find us, but they'll come down the river, so we need to stay close.
OK.
Can you move? Come on.
HE GROANS All right, you're right.
You're right.
They're trying to find us.
HE GROANS Is it infected? Lane? - At last! - Yeah, all right.
Calm your tits, we're here now.
Are they dead already? We've got a signal from his tracker.
Approximate grid refs about an hour upriver.
Well, I think he's telling us we ain't got time for breakfast.
Brigadier's set up temp comms.
Should have had a shave.
Bones? Sir.
Fellas.
Situation is grave.
Well, that's why we're here.
So let's get on with it.
Needle in a haystack.
They'll be all over this.
The local military, they know the jungle like the back of their hand.
Never seen the Brigadier looking this vexed.
He'll be expecting bad news.
We'll find them.
We've got to.
- Right, if I can get down to the river.
- It's not safe, Lane.
We sit here and die or we give it a go.
- What? - Survival.
We need water.
I can go and get it.
Right, Lane.
Be careful.
Can you hear the people marching Louder than the drums? Can you hear the people coming Louder than the drums? Can you hear the people marching Louder than the drums? Can you hear the people coming? Can you hear the people marching Louder than the drums? This is our battle cry Can you hear the people marching Louder than the drums? This is our battle cry.
Guys, sit up.
As you were, guys.
Right, everybody, outside now, apart from you, King.
You're either going out the door or you're going out the side of the tent.
Move.
Fellas.
- Can I just say ? - No.
Guys? Search and rescue.
We're your only hope.
Conops, Bones.
Now.
We've received a weak signal from Captain James' tracker.
It's intermittent.
Roger.
Signal coming from around this village here.
Now, there's a very small chance they're still alive.
Let's not be sharing my pessimism with the rest of the section.
Roger will be leading us into the village.
It'll be treacherous, but I'm optimistic we can get there.
And back again? - I'll see what I can do.
- Hm.
River access not safe.
We'll be making our way through the jungle.
Peanut, you stay with the Brigadier and direct ops from here.
- Boss.
- We move to the village.
There was a signal there 20 minutes ago, so they haven't moved yet, thank God.
You guys, you stay here.
You'll be monitoring drone footage directed from coastal patrol.
You'll have a signal here.
Alert us to any movement.
Remember, you're in bandit country.
Our comms will be sporadic once we're under the canopy.
Right, guys, this is Zero.
Brains on comms.
Constant contact.
Look, all you have to do is look at that bloody screen.
Our eye in the sky.
Just try to not get yourselves killed.
Any activity, alert us.
- Wish me luck.
- Sarge.
LEAVES RUSTLE Anything? Drone's been launched.
God knows where it is.
All you can see is trees.
Bit of a waste of time.
We've got to do something.
Bones'll get 'em back.
The trouble is Go on.
We know the bloke's a prick but if anyone's going to find 'em, it's that prick.
I hate him.
Everything about him makes my skin crawl.
Yeah, but it's like when you're a kid and something shit happens all you want is an adult to come and sort it all out.
Maybe you're right.
We just want them back, alive and well.
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH Here.
I need you to drink this.
I'm going to find something to eat.
I can forage for food, but you need to have this so you can get strong enough so you can move.
I thought I saw something.
Something? Someone.
- Oh, did you? - It's hard to tell.
It could have been a branch, wind or I don't know.
- Let's make you stronger.
- Mm.
We're safe here for a bit, aren't we? - We're dug in? - Yeah.
We need to be rescued.
Hey.
You're going to be all right, boss.
Yeah, definitely.
It's just this leg.
We're going to be all right, Lane.
- Georgie? - Boss.
Save your strength.
OK.
Lane? I've got eyes on you at all times.
Boss.
Another 40 minutes.
It'll get trickier.
Trickier and stickier.
I'm sweating like a bastard.
You should have shaved your dopey beard off, Spanner.
SPANNER CHUCKLES This ain't going nowhere till Kilmarnock are top of the league.
This whole area is unofficially a no-go zone.
Drug runners appear to be better resourced than the Belizean army.
I'm assuming they're not interested in engaging in conflict with us? They don't want their drug trafficking routes discovered, sir.
They'll do anything they can to protect their livelihood.
Exactly.
We're solely on a search and rescue, not interested in stopping their trade.
With all due respect, sir, I don't think they'll see it that way.
We trespassed into their territory, they'll want to send out a clear message.
Let's just hope they're in this village and you guys can get them back safely.
We need them in the village and not being held hostage.
Ezra! Ezra, are you OK? He tried to shoot me! Are you hurt? Were you hurt? - Lane! Lane! - He could have killed me! Lane! What are you doing? He was stalking you with his knife! - I was trying to help you.
- He wasn't stalking me! It's Ezra! Look! I came to help you, you mad man! Where's your mum? Is she OK? We both escaped.
She's safe.
Is he hurt? No! - No harm done, thank God.
- No! - Are you OK? - No harm done! The area's been compromised, we need to move.
Now! - Ezra, are you OK to move? - He could have killed me! Ezra, move.
Come on, move.
Hello, Delta Fire team, this is Zero.
Did you hear a gunshot? Over.
Hello, Zero.
This is Delta Fire team.
Yes, obviously, we heard the shot, heading towards the target now.
What Intel from the eye in the sky? Over.
Zero, nothing definitive.
Over.
Delta Fire team, what the fuck does that mean, you massive bellend? Zero, talking to control about trying to fly it lower.
As yet, nothing untoward.
Over.
Delta Fire Shit the bed! Out.
All call signs on me.
Gunshot approximately 1km east of our current location.
Alert us to any movement.
Out.
Delta Fire team, this is Zero Alpha.
We're keen, if you encounter anyone, do not engage, over.
Fuck off! - We head inland.
- Well, shouldn't we be following the river? - We head inland and keep moving.
- OK.
Ezra? Come on.
Quick! Let's go.
JAMES GROANS What's that? Hello, all call signs, this is Zero.
Movement heading towards target.
Current position: 16.
74189.
Latitude: 89.
08530.
Longitude, over.
There are three or four of them.
Zero, possibly three or four, over.
Delta Fire team, are you sure that's not us, you numb nuts? Zero, sorry.
Out.
Argh! Boss, do you need a rest? No, I'm fine.
Let's keep moving.
HE GROANS If that's Bones and his posse, who's that? Call it in, Brains! You call it in! Hello, Delta Fire team, this is Zero.
1km east of your current position, movement.
One, possibly two people heading towards your location.
Over.
Roger that.
Out.
HE WHISTLES British issue.
Doesn't mean anything.
If they were kidnapped in the village, they'd have taken their weapons off them.
HE HISSES How far to the village, Roger? About ten minutes.
Let's move, guys.
This is good.
- Do you know these caves? - Mm-hm.
I spent my childhood in them.
They're all over the jungle.
We are safe to rest here.
Lane! Movement! Look! Could be an animal.
CAT MIAOWS On me, Spanner.
Boss! Is he OK? We're all going to be OK.
We'll stay here, they'll find us.
I'm sorry, Georgie.
Look, why don't you save one big "I'm sorry" for when I get you out of this mess? I'm joking.
OK? Maybe you should forge on.
Leave me here, go and get some help, and then come back and find me.
Well, that's not going to happen, is it? I just need to get you better.
I don't think I can move.
I don't want to slow you down.
Well, it looks like you're stuck with me, Charlie.
Rest.
Rest.
I could have killed him.
- Yeah, well, you didn't.
- It's bad judgment.
- Because you thought he was stalking me.
- You don't shoot.
Yeah, but you thought he was going to attack me.
Is this really how it's going to end? No.
Zero, this is Delta.
Any sign of movement? Over.
Zero, no sign.
Out.
We're here.
They were last seen at the village.
Where would you go if you were fleeing, Roger? River.
They know the river will lead down to a town.
River.
Let's move.
- Anything from the spotter plane? - No, plane lost them.
- How could it have lost them? - It'll only pick them up occasionally.
You can't see them through the tree line, like that useless drone.
What is the point of that bloody thing? It's supposed to be our eye in the sky.
You know nothing happened? - Eh? - Rab and that nurse.
Nothing actually happened.
What are you chatting about? I don't even care.
Just saying.
He was fighting her off, that's all.
She was proper up for it, but he weren't having none of it.
What are you telling me for? He can do what he likes.
I just thought that might have been a reason why you've had the arse-ache with him.
I haven't had the arse-ache with him.
Who told you that? Come on now, a bit obvious.
Mate, I don't even care.
My girlfriend's pregnant.
What? She texted me.
You've got a girlfriend? - Sort of.
- Sort of? And she's pregnant? We've been going out on and off since Well, yeah, since when? - School and that.
- School? There was, like, loads of times we weren't going out.
And then somehow you know.
What, you were, like, friends with benefits? Yeah.
MAISIE SIGHS Except I love her.
Right.
Talk to me, Monk.
I am, aren't I? Right, so you've got a girlfriend.
You're madly in love with her.
You have been for ten years.
And now she's pregnant? Yeah.
That's about the size of it.
Here.
Molly? You need to drink more water.
- Leave me.
- I'm getting you to a hospital, boss.
That's what's happening.
I can't do the job any more.
Molly says I think I can't survive without it.
Save your strength to get back home to her.
She knows.
She knows what? I've been hiding behind the uniform for too long.
I can't function back home.
At work, my uniform's the only thing holding me together.
Maybe you need help, boss.
OK? The army can help.
She wants me to leave her.
Everything I thought I had all the things I thought were certain, Molly, everything was simple.
Now it's all falling apart.
Sssh.
HE EXHALES - Any news? - No.
The plane lost eyes on.
So, if they left the tracker in the village, surely that means they were taken against their will? Otherwise, why move? Right.
Rab, monitor duty.
I'm going to rehydrate.
Maise, jump on.
- You all right, Maise? - Yeah, why wouldn't I be? Right, move up.
Let me get me arse in.
- Is there anything? - No.
She still fuming? I don't know.
Have you stopped crying now? I was never crying.
All right, yeah! - Ooh! - What's going on? You all right, Richards? They use this truck for the action adventure weekends in Belize City.
Obviously left these on board.
Do you think with the boss still that it's appropriate? Exactly.
Respect.
You dodged a bullet there, Rab.
I was looking to kick your arse.
All we've got to do is sit here and wait.
It's not like we can actually do anything.
- You're joking? I've been doing this for hours.
- All right.
Once you find a shuttlecock and we get the word they're OK, I kick arse! I can't find a shuttlecock! We could use an imaginary one - me v you.
You'd cheat.
I wouldn't! Yeah, you've got form.
How? We've never played imaginary badders before.
I might let you win.
I might let YOU win.
- Are we friends again, then? - Oh, shut up! - What? - When haven't we been friends? When you were being all mardy.
No, you wanker! Phew.
You're getting on my nerves again already.
Do you want to come to Leeds during R&R? Are you being serious? - Yes.
- Of course I don't! Leeds? Would you like me to come to Colchester, then? I can sleep on your sofa.
What, with my dad? Is that where he sleeps? Yeah, most of the time.
It's the doghouse sofa.
Your mum and dad are at loggerheads? What? Sometimes, I just want to bite your nose.
Tease! Zero, this is Delta Fire team.
Any sign? Over.
No sign of targets.
We'll be heading downriver.
Need you to direct the drone according and alert us of any activity ahead.
Over.
Roger that.
Over.
Here, sir.
Ezra's gone! - He must have got scared.
- We need to move.
He'll compromise us.
OK.
Can you get up? HE GROANS Oh, fuck! OK, stay there.
Get your rest.
We'll move out soon.
HELICOPTER WHIRS Argh! - Molly? - It's still me, I'm afraid, boss.
OK? I have no idea what happens from here.
Everything's going to be all right.
I'm sorry, Georgie.
Hey, hey, you've got nothing to be sorry about.
It was my fault Elvis died.
You must miss him.
More than I ever thought would be possible.
I miss him too.
I close my eyes and he's there.
I open my eyes, and I'm back to living this life without him - but I don't get what it means.
- What? It's like nothing will ever make sense again.
It will.
And maybe one day you'll love again.
Yeah.
I dream of Elvis sometimes.
And he's there alive holding me.
Sometimes, I dream that I dreamt that he died.
I'm so stupid.
- Georgie - Sssh.
OK? HE GROANS Who's this? Who's this? Hello, Delta Fire team, this is Zero.

- We're going to survive this.

- Yeah, well, whatever.
It shouldn't be able to fly, right? - Right.
- Well, I reckon it's like them two.
- What about them? You'd never think they would take off.
But look at them.
- They're the bumble bee.
- They're just mates.
Oi, what are you two talking about? BOTH: Bumble bees.
- Shut up! - I swear to God, honestly, Maise.
Out! 15-3.
My serve.
Have you told 'em your news, Monk? I told you in confidence! Yeah, I haven't told anyone.
Call it after me, if it's a lad.
- You can't just keep on doing smashes all the time.
- Yeah, I can.
What? It's your serve.

So what are you going to do, mate? What do you mean? - Are you going to stand by her? - Oh, that? Yeah.
She texted me a picture of the pregnancy test, so I texted her back, saying, "We might as well get married, then.
" Ah, keeping it classy, cockney style! Stuck a heart emoji on the end.
You silver-tongued cavalier! She sent an aubergine back.
Don't take this the wrong way, Monk Go on.
It's definitely yours, yeah? Of course.
Who else is it going to be? My mate, right - Jamaican lad - his mother comes to the UK.
A year later, she has him, and then the father arrives, from Jamaica, hadn't seen the mother since she left.

My dad's side was Somali, and even that's a little bit You are the original rainbow warrior.
What's this area, right here? - Disused airfield.
- Disused? It's in the disputed territory towards the Guatemala border.
Kingy, get your lazy arse over here.
Now! When you did your in-country brief, did they show you all the satellite images of this area? - Pretty much.
- Do you remember this bit? We looked at all the terrain towards the Guatemala border, yeah.
They're heading for the disused airfield.
Prepare to move.
Roger.
- Want to tell us why you think this? - No.
Spanner? Ready to move, boss.
It's about 3km, right? About five.

I think we're beyond orders, Charlie.
Look, get help, then come back and get me.
You want me to tell you about the venomous snakes and the spiders and the other predators that'll take great pleasure in eating you, yeah? Look.

Our mission was to search and rescue.
And with all due respect At what cost? Well, we needn't have engaged, but now we'd be repatriating two of our own.
I mean, call me old-fashioned, but Captain McClyd, remind me who is your regimental commanding officer? Oh, you are, sir.
But fuck me! This Right, guys.
Update from Belmopan Hospital.
Captain James is still a serious cause for concern.
Lane? He's sedated and stabilised and, once the infection is under control, he'll be moved back to the UK.
It's going to be a long road.
Right, relax, guys.
Lane, without your intervention, none of this Kingy, I'm not ready to hear that at the moment.
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Fall in, Lane.
Guys! Squad! Squad, attention! As you were, guys.
Right, three weeks left here in Belize, then it's back to the UK for regimental duties.
Obviously, we'll need to monitor Captain James' recovery and possible reintroduction to the company.
In the meantime, you'll be having a new commanding officer.
Carry on, Captain McClyde.
Squad! Squad, attention! Seconded to regimental duties, which means I am in charge of you shitheads, all for saving everybody's lives! Be prepared cos I'm going to beast each and everyone of you.
I cannot afford to take liabilities on tour.
We've got two new soldiers joining us in Bangladesh.
One of you will be going home at the end of the week.
Welcome to a mosquito-infested shithole.
We'll be working with Mrs Chowdhrey here in her outreach project, building a temporary isolation facility.
This is my husband, Inspector Rathmel Chowdhrey, my son, Sumon.
We're still getting reports of hundreds of women and children still trying to cross the Naf River into Bangladesh.
We have to assess and take the most needy cases.
Oh, my God! It's Fingers!
