Crossfire (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 2 - Episode #1.2 - full transcript

This program me contains some violent
scenes, some strong language,

and scenes which some viewers
may find upsetting.

Oh, is that where we're going?

It looks amazing.

It's weird, innit?

When you look at these places,
they don't seem real,

and then when you get there,
it's home that doesn't seem real.

Do you want to go and see if Jason
wants some of that coffee?

Mum. Hmm?

I'll have to bring some
revision with me.

Are you thinking half term
or are you thinking Easter?



Erm, Easter, probably.

Mm-hm.

IN SPANISH:

Everything's so much more fragile
than it seems.

We think we want a change.

A break from normality.

But we don't realise,
in asking for more,

we risk breaking
what we already have.

Kim really wants to go
and see the sea.

No, no, no, no. Wait for a bit
and we'll all go down together.

Oh, go on.
This is going to take ages.

Don't get lost!

I'm so excited to see the sea. Kim!

I'm trying to run faster.
You are faster than me.



It's exciting.

Gracias.

How about this one?
Yeah, I like that one. Thank you.

I'm going to start digging.

Hola. Como estas?

Hola. Muy bien, senoritas.

Espera.

Gracias, senor. Gracias.

De nada.

HE GASPS

What were you thinking, eh?

I thought you knew what you
were doing. Why did you shout?!

My daughter was out there, OK?
I-I-I panicked.

I was just trying to do
the right thing.

Do you think this is a time
for warnings?

They are not giving any warnings.
I have to find Amara.

What the fuck are you doing, eh?

If you go around the hotel
looking for her,

you will get you and your daughter
killed. I have to find her.

She could be anywhere. I know.

Look, I know. What do we do?

We have to kill them
before they kill us.

We can't just go around hunting them
down with these stupid things.

We don't even know how many of them
are out there.

There's nothing wrong with a gun.

OK, all right, so while you're off
killing one of them,

what are the other ones doing?
They're killing my daughter!

How else do we stop them?!

Eh?!

I don't...

SHE GASPS

Look, you know the building.

You must know the safest ways
to get out.

We can just try and get
as many people out as we can.

We'll clear each floor,
room by room.

That way we'll find Amara, too. OK.

OK, come on. Come on.

HE SIGHS

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

Shall we go back
and see if Dad's OK?

He told us to run.
I want to go back.

Come on, keep going.

Excuse me.

Excuse me,
I'm looking for two children.

Erm, Kim, she's seven,
and her friend Suni.

A white girl, blonde hair,
and an Asian boy.

They're both wearing shorts. No.

The girl was wearing
a stripy T-shirt.

I have to find them. They're...
They're only...

Kim... She's only seven.

She was wearing a stripy T-shirt!
I'm sorry.

Some...

Excuse me! Hey!

Erm, you have to help me.
I'm looking...

I can't help you right now.
Two children. Move back. Move back!

Somebody must have... Kim!

Suni!

Please, somebody, help.

Kim!

Suni!

HE EXHALES
OK... OK.

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

This is stupid.

HE BREATHES RAGGEDLY

So, I do this side, you do this. No.

If they hear your voice,
they won't come out.

Come with me and keep watch. OK.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

Hello. Is anybody in there?

My name's Jo.
We're getting people out.

ABHI BREATHES UNCONTROLLABLY

Are you OK?

I'm just...

I'm just not a brave person.

I never have been.

Chinar has always looked after me.

You're the brave one.

The strong one.

I don't think any of us are...

...brave or strong right now.

Can you watch her?

If her breathing gets either
slower or faster,

can you just call me over
straight away, OK?

OK.

You OK? You need any help?

OK.

You need to keep your arm elevated.

OK?

And also this hand - this hand...

Just here.

Aqui.

Right, does anybody, anyone
over here, need any help?

Is anybody injured?
Do you need anything?

I'm OK, thanks. OK.

Hey. Hey...

It's OK.

It's OK to be scared.

We're all really scared.

OK?

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish.

Look, I want you to breathe...

...with me, OK?

Like this.

Look, look, look, look.

THEY EXHALE Good.

LIFT WHIRS

No. No, Mateo, it's my son.

Adam! Mum!

Mum. Shh, shh.

Mum. Hey, those men could be
anywhere so we have to be quiet.

OK, guys, you understand me? OK.

We have to get them out.
Dad is downstairs.

Where downstairs? In the basement.

One of the men came in.
Dad told us to run.

OK.

We're going to get you out and then
we're going to go and find your dad.

OK, go. Go. Go, go, go, go.

Stay close together.

OK, so you're going to come to me,

but only when this man here says,
OK? You'll come, too, Mummy?

No, darling, because
Amara's still here

and I have to help some people,
too. Do you understand?

Are you ready for this?
We have to be fast.

Can you find my dad?

I'm going to try.

Now, when you get out there,
try and find the others.

OK? You can do it.

All right.

OK, go.

Go, go, go. Go. Go.

Straight ahead, through that door.
Stay low.

I can cover you, OK?

Now, when you come to me,
you don't look left or right,

just look at me, OK?
Keep your eyes on me.

OK?

Go.

Get by the wall.

Hey, look at me.

Hey, hey, hey. Be brave.

You'll be fine, OK?

Go.

Down.

No. No, no, no. Come on.

By the wall.

OK, go. Go, go, go.

OK. Get back here. OK.

OK, come on.

GATE CLUNKS AND CREAKS

Go. Come with me, Mummy. Please.

Stick together.

I love you. Go.

HEAVY BREATHING

Ey. Ey, Pilar, ey.

What's wrong with her?

Tension pneumothorax.

Collapsed lung.

She needs a decompression.

Can you do something?

I'm a GP. I'm not...
I'm not critical care.

But I'll try. I'll try.

Jesus!

Oh, does she need mouth to mouth?

That's the last thing she needs.

There's air trapped between
her chest wall and lung.

I need a thin tube.

A tube. Like a syringe.

I need it.

Quickly. I need it now.

Aqui tienes.

Come on, come on.

Quick, quick, quick.

Is this OK?

WHEEZING

You need to keep very still, Pilar.
Don't move.

You're going to feel some pressure
but it's going to be OK.

Shh. All right?

SHE GROANS

SOFT FIZZING

MOANING

Oh.

SIGH OF RELIEF

Will she be OK now? As long
as this tube stays in place,

but she needs to go to hospital.

I need some gauze. Lots and lots
of gauze. And some tape.

Uncle Ben!

Boys!

Hey!

Come...

Ah, you're safe. You're safe!

Oh, where's your dad?

He told us to run, then we found
Jo and she got us out.

W-Where is she?
She went back to find Dad.

And what about Auntie Miriam?
Did... Did you see her?

I want Mummy.

Hey.

Where's Dad?

Where's Kim and Suni?

Come here. Come here. Come here.

PHONE RINGS

MESSAGE: You're through
to Catherine Cross.

Please leave a message
after the tone.

LOCK BEEPS

Mum, it's me.

Look, I know you're in the office
but I just wanted to say, erm...

Wh... When you hear it on the news,
because I think it probably

will be on the news quite soon,
we're OK.

But it is us, Mum, at the hotel.
It is us and...

We're OK.

I'm hiding.

HE SOBS

We've just got to wait
until they get here, Mum,

and I think they will soon.

I love you.

I love you loads.

Please, don't call back.

I love you.

MUFFLED CHATTER

I've got an idea.

Why don't we all go away together?

Over Easter.

Somewhere hot and sunny.

Hmm.

Would I get to see you
in a swimsuit?

I think that could be arranged. OK.

CHINAR LAUGHS

Amara!

JO LAUGHS

JO SOBS

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, we have to go.

We have to leave.
It's not safe to be here. Please.

JO SOBS

He was the father of those boys?

He was... He was one
of our oldest friends.

He went to school with my husband.

And his boys...

Those little... Sorry.

His boys...

And... And he and I...

It was...

Com... Complicated. OK.

We have a minute here, OK?

OK?

OK. I'm sorry. I just...

I need a minute and I'll be OK.

Listen, you can stay here
with the gun.

OK? No problem. I will go.

No. I want to help.

I'm... I'm...

I'm a police officer.

I-I used to be.

Why did you stop?

Because, I, erm...

Because I didn't think
I was good enough.

At the... At the time, I didn't
think I was good... good enough.

OK.

JO SIGHS

Listen...

When I was young...

...I wanted to go to Madrid
to be in the national police.

You know? Tough guy.

But island families, we are tight,

so I work in hospitality
like everyone else.

Like my brothers. My wife, too.

I hope she's OK.

Your... Your wife works here
in the hotel?

Yeah. Yeah.

I... I-I checked the CCTV for
the restaurant and kitchen

but I couldn't see her.

She would have run, I'm sure.
She's smart.

I'm sure, OK.

I'm... I'm...

I'm so sorry. I...

I didn't... I didn't think
you had family here.

I... I...

I feel so selfish now.

I just talked about my own family.

I'm sorry. It's normal.
It's normal, OK?

Listen, when you took your son out,

you could have run with him.

But you came back...

...to help others.

To get other people out.

That was the right thing to do.
The brave thing.

I can tell you were
a good police officer.

OK, let's do this. Let's do it.

Didn't I?

It's... It's you. I said hello.

You don't have to do this.

Whoever...

I mean, I know what it feels like.

I feel crazy sometimes with
everything everyone wants, like...

Mum's great, but, you know,
she's always on at me... Shh!

And it's really hard,
you know, because

half the time I feel like
I'm the only adult in that house.

I just, like... I know when Mum
and Dad split, I was only five,

so I don't really remember all that
much about them living together.

Mum, I don't know what's going
on with her and Jason... Shh. Shh!

I'm... I'm telling you,
whatever you've done

today, so far, I mean,

you might feel like
you've really fucked up,

like you've gone so far that
you just have to keep going,

but you don't have to.

You don't have to do this.

It's me. You... You saw me.

I'm not pretending like you're
not in trouble because you are,

you're in real trouble,
and your friends, too,

but you must have a mum or a dad.
Think of them. Shh!

Think of what they would
want you to do right now. Shh!

What they would want you
to do right now.

Cos I know... Shh! I know that you
have people who care about you.

Just think about them.
Think about them. Think about...
