Our Girl (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript

Molly enjoys herself at the platoon's sports day but is brought back to reality by the sight of three young Afghan soldiers murdered by the Taliban. She and Smurf are flown back to Britain for home leave, Molly meeting Smurf's mother, still grieving for his dead brother. With her parents arguing over her mother's decision to become a teaching assistant Molly does not feel comfortable and both she and Smurf are relieved to be back in Afghanistan though Molly is shocked when Smurf says he loves her. Molly's real love is James and she comes close to confessing as they rescue local soldier Sohail, who has been badly beaten by Bashira's father Badrai because he would not kill Molly

She risked her
life to save yours.

I'm there for you, Molls.

- Nice kettle, mate.
- Rolex.

- How old are you?
-18.

Talk about easy targets.

Bashira's father is clearly in
league with the insurgency.

We're soul sisters.

Am I going to die?

Move!

Where are they taking her, sir?

They're willing to help
remove Bashira from



her family and into a
safe house in Kabul.

- Things could have all been so different.
- Lady Luck was smiling on us.

This time.

Shut up, I'm
trying to tell a story!

Will you guys shut
up and get washing?

What is your problem, face-ache?

Oil

Sorry, boss, I thought
you were Sohail.

You wouldn't share your
breakfast with Sohail?

No way! I'm not letting him
dip his spoon in my Coco Pops!

I take it that's not meant
to be a euphemism, Dawes.

If I knew what one of them
was, sir, I'd let you know.

Sohail is a well-dodge geez.

If I knew what one of
those was, I'd let you know.

I haven't had Coco
Pops in bloody ages.

Mm!

- What?
- What?

Captain James?

We've not had comms from the
mountain checkpoint this morning.

Kinders!

Have they ever not
responded before?

Every morning, they check in and
give me the night report. Today, nothing.

If they'd had contact...

This is serious enough
for the Special Forces.

- I'm gonna need a medic.
- What's happened, boss?

There may have been an
incident at the mountain pass.

- Kinders.
- Two Section, double in, full kit!

This may well mean your R&R's
out the shitter, I'm afraid, Dawesy!

Guys!

It looks deserted.

Maybe cos they've
deserted, boss man.

The other side offered ‘em a
dollar more, that's what happened.

Something don't feel right, sir.

Taj?

Azizi?

The Afghan Special Forces
are going to investigate.

Let's focus up until we know
what's going on up there.

Stand by for an ambush, fellas.

Medic! Medic!

Medic!

Dawes!

Let's go!

Kinders!

Examine and confirm death.

He's just a kid, Qaseem.

Examine and confirm death.

No pulse.

I think we all know
what happened here.

I don't care what they
get paid, it ain't enough.

They're just kids, Smurf.

It's sick.

Gotta be green on green.

They'd have radioed it
in if there'd been contact.

They shoot their own,
don't they, Afghans?

Mind you...

they'd shoot us,
given half a chance.

Glad to see you're cutting down.

I will do, one day.

When there's less...

Jitterbug in my head.

Reckon we'll still
get home today?

There's not much a medic
can do for them poor buggers.

A replacement medic is on
her way. You leave in one hour.

- What, boss?
- You're going home.

Oh, OK.

- What's the matter?
- Nothing, it's just...

They didn't deserve
to die like that.

One lad wasn't much
older than Bashira.

He would've said he was 18, or
wouldn't have been allowed to enlist.

Do you think she's all right?

Yeah, I do.

I think you allowed her an opportunity
she wouldn't have been given.

But I'd love to
write to her one day.

You know, when this is all over.

- Just to make sure she's all right.
- She'll be fine.

How long do you think
you'll stay in for, Dawes?

The Army, sir?

I dunno.

It's hard to plan ahead,
if you know what I mean.

Like today.

Confirming those kids were dead.

They shot my mate Rolex Boy
point blank. He never stood a chance.

I just feel so sad
about it all sometimes.

Rolex Boy, Bashira...

I just wish that I
could sort it all out.

Don't think too much.

Just...do the job you're bloody good
at and we'll be home by Christmas.

Now, erm... I have
a request for you.

Boss?

I've had my Nespresso machine
sent over at great expense.

To the taxpayer.

But fully justifiable,
cos I'm not a fully

functioning soldier ill
I've had a morning coffee.

A tea bag does me, boss.

Now, Dawes, London.

Nespresso shop in Regent Street.

Go and buy me some
Rosabaya coffee capsules.

And I will adore you for always.

Always, sir?

Come back to me.

I will.

Don't worry.

Oi, boss man!

Er...handover with the temp
medic and get your kit packed.

I want protein shakes,
chocolate flavour.

Some Marmite, a big bastard,
yeah? 500 grams minimum.

Get us some more boxers.
Anything - Primark will do.

You got skiddies
in the rest of them!

Nah, mate, I use yours for that.

Bring back some eye drops. All this
dust's getting in my eyes and I'm in agony.

I'd say that's the early
stages of cataracts.

I swear that's where
we do basic training.

Catterick!

Sensodyne toothpaste, the
one that dentists recommend.

We are going on
our bloody holidays.

So would you lot kindly... Wool

- Good luck, you two.
- Where's Sohail?

He's gone AWOL.

I fucking knew it! Taliban. You should
have let me shoot him on day one, boss.

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Might have saved four
lives on the mountains.

Maybe if we find him, we can
invoice him for the four body bags.

Oi, behave.

- Am I right or am I right, boss?
- It's not always that straightforward.

We're not wholly bad or good.

Go.

See you later, suckers!

- Don't forget the toothpaste.
- See you later, Moll.

If Sohail's gone AWOL,
then...something might happen.

- Gol - But you might
gonna need a medic.

- We might gonna already got one.
- Well, she ain't me.

Dawes...

I can't go.

Go. That's an order.

I need that bloody coffee.

4 So a miracle man must
have shot me while I wake

Go, go, go, go!

4 I never run fast
enough, oh, my mistakes

♪ Would you really
want me in the light of day?

♪ That very same man shot
flaws right through my face

You all right?

I dunno.

You what?

Too many people are dying.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

I just can't get this
morning out of my nut.

We'll be home soon.

I can't wait to
meet your family.

Well, that's never
gonna bleeding happen.

- Don't fight it.
- What exactly am I fighting?

Your feelings for me.

Just for clarity, if you were the
last bloke on the entire globe,

and you had a face and a personality
transplant, I'd still rather go without.

You say that, but you
wouldn't be able to resist.

Feed them swans, baby.

- I'll get my mum to give you a lift.
- You're all right.

I know I am.

Anyway... it's time
you met my family.

You deluded, big-eared
Welsh prannick.

I'm a fucking war hero.

What's a prannick?

I dunno, I'll ask my nan.

Touch me again,
and I'll break your arm.

Maybe if we weren't
in the same platoon...

Zipit.

Hi, Mum.

Are you OK?

I never thought I'd
see him again, Molly.

You know we lost
his brother out there?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

When his brother died...

they knocked on my door and
said there'd been an incident.

They said they'd got him
back to Camp Bastion hospital.

They said he was
stable...but serious.

And then they came back later
and said he'd died of his injuries.

I'm sorry.

With Smurf...

they knocked on my door and
said there'd been an incident.

They'd got him back to
Camp Bastion hospital.

But they said... he was stable.

And then they never came
back and knocked on my door.

That's shit. I'm sorry.

I couldn't wait to see him.

Or to hold him.

Did I make a prize tit
of myself at the airfield?

You made a prize tit out of him.

What?

- Where you going, Moll?
- I'm just gonna jump out here.

Why? We can just
drop you at the station.

It's only a two-minute walk. I
could do with stretching my legs.

Are you sure?

Yeah, yeah, it's
what I want, I promise.

The station's only round
there, I recognise it.

I've been sitting on my
arse now for 20 hours.

I'll text you, yeah?

I'll be in the Earl
of Wakefield having

Jager Bombs, you'll be
schlepping to Newport.

Do you even know
where Newport is?

I don't know, don't care.

Let go of me, then, you spam.

- Thank you, Mrs Smurf.
- Take care, love.

- See you later.
- See you later.

She's lovely.

Is she your girlfriend?

Don't get fucking
involved, Mother.

How am I getting involved?

- Do you want a drink?
- Yeah, go on.

What do you want?

Anything.

- Well, what?
- Anything.

Well, Coke or Fanta...

Anything! Fucking anything!

Anything.

Hi, can I have a number
for a cab company, please?

I don't have a clue where I am.

Mum?

Yeah, I'm two minutes away.

Here, what's happened to
the Earl of Wakefield? It's gone.

Molly! Molly!

Hiyal Oh, hello!

Hello, mate!

All right?

Dad, hope you've got the
hot water on, I need a shower.

I'm minging.

Help her with her bags, then.

Hello, Molls.

Don't do this on the landing,
I told you. Go down there.

Go down there!

Is that better?

Yeah, I think that's all the
dust and shit and sand out.

The water going down
the plughole was yellow.

I wish I could have a shower
and get rid of all my dust and shit.

Although it'd take more than
that to make me feel better.

Why, are you unhappy?

Well, I'm all right but...

Does anybody want a drink?

No, I'm all right, thanks, Dad.

We'll crack on it later, though, yeah?
What's happened to the Wakefield?

It's gonna be
apartments, they reckon.

Another nail in me coffin.

He can still drink down
the Central, can't he?

Or the Denmark Arms,
or is he still barred?

- Stop pretending you don't get it.
- What?

I've got friends telling
me I've got potential.

You can still have potential
at my age, can't you?

- Yeah.
- Exactly.

But I can't if your dad's
gonna be a complete bell end.

You will support
me, won't you, Molls?

Like I've supported you.

Right, Shazza's outside.

- Who?
- The one I've been telling you about.

- The one who...
- Exactly.

She's been really good
to me, Molls, and I've

right needed her, what
with you being away.

- You shouldn't have.
- I enjoy spoiling you all.

Oh, you must be Molly.

I'm Shazza. Just gonna
take this into the kitchen.

It's so kind of
her, innit, Molls?

So kind of you, Shazzal

She don't look like a Shazza.

Well, what does a
Shazza look like?

Tats...and a bit more
meat on the bone.

Well, actually, I was
born Felicity Baron.

Married and became Felicity
Middleson but I'm nobody's property.

So I chose a name
that suited me.

I suppose Lady Gaga
ain't her real name either.

It's good to meet you, Molly.

And I'm really sorry for what you're
having to go through at the moment.

- What do you mean?
- Afghanistan?

I went on the march.
"Not in my name".

But I guess you
had no other options.

Shazza works at the primary.

Don't you think your mother
would make a wonderful teacher?

A teacher?

Well, teaching assistant.

Every journey starts
with a first step.

Shazza's got faith in me.

It's not a matter of faith,
Mum, it's a matter of GCSEs.

I think she'd be a great
addition to the profession.

Right.

I'm gonna go get the
onions out of the camper van.

I'm gonna make a soup.

Sounds nice.

She makes her own soup?

- Be nice.
- And she's got a camper van?

She's sticking her hooter in a
bit, ain't she, getting involved?

Getting involved is a good
thing. And she cares about me.

Well, I care about you.

Yeah, but you're
not here, are you?

I just want everything
to be the same, Mum.

Well, you're not.

You can write Bashira
a letter, if you want.

Why?

She's probably never
had a letter before.

Well, can she read?

No.

That'll be why, then.

Am I going fo die?

Do you like onion soup?

Is that what that honk is?

I thought Dave was
skinning up in the kitchen.

Molly, are you gonna
have some of my soup?

My nan was telling me you've become
a part of the furniture round here.

Well, I'm your mum's friend.

And when a friend
asks for guidance...

Like her becoming a teacher?
That's never gonna happen.

Teaching assistant. And, yeah.

Yeah, it can
happen, quite easily.

Not when she's got a baby.

She's also got a husband
who can lend a hand, surely?

- What's that got to do with you?
- All I'm saying, Molly,

is why can't she have
something she can be

proud of in her life?
You've got your Army.

Oh, it's my Army?

- Well, you joined.
- Have you got a problem with that?

Thanks to us, there
hasn't been another 7/7.

There wasn't one before 7/7.

- Sorry, Shazza.
- It's fine.

I say, that's the first time I've ever
agreed with your dad on anything.

Eh?

She needs being rolled in a carpet
and lobbed off a bridge onto the M25.

Have you had any of her soup?

What do you think
about Mum going to work?

I think she needs a
check-up from the neck up.

You don't think she's started
batting for the other side, do you?

Not that anything's
wrong with that.

I wouldn't say no if that Princess
Grace of Monaco took a fancy to me.

In her prime, of
course, not now.

She's dead, isn't she?

All right, Mol.

My mother's a lesbian.

Come to Newport.

Is it on the tube?

Newport? Bloody English.

If it's past Barnet,
then I ain't coming.

Come over.

I'm just...sat in my room.

I might as well be in
Afghan, to be honest.

I'm supposed to be getting some rest
and recuperation from the likes of you.

Molls...no one else understands.

OK, I'll come.

Ditch the flowers, you noofter.

There you are.
You don't like 'em?

Bin, now.

You're joking?

What is this, a Tampax
advert or something?

Beer?

You pisshead Taffs.

Go on, then.

How are you, you all right?

So how many people
have you killed, then?

Loads, mate, and I'll add you to the
list if you carry on staring at my tits.

You all right?

Yeah, you?

Sort of.

I don't feel... Normal.

How long until everything
gets back to normal?

It can't, can it?

I think we'll just put Afghan in a
little box and shove it under the stairs.

-Eh?
- Out of our minds.

Don't go near that fucking box,
that's when you get proper fragged.

How do you think
they're all doing?

I don't like it that
they're there without us.

We all need to be together.

Let's hope they've
caught old scar face Sohail.

I dunno if he pulled the trigger

but he definitely had something to do
with what happened at the mountain pass.

I knew from the
off he was Taliban.

He could've already
pulled another little stunt.

It don't bear thinking about.

This R&R is unbearable.

We've got each other.

You better get over here, Smurf.

It's £89.20.

Right, then, you shitheads!

Cheers, boss.

Go on, get that down you, Smurf.

Come on. Come on, Smurf.

Boys.

What's up?

No one can ever
know, not really.

What?

It's impossible
to explain, innit?

There we go. We've got
to look after each other.

Well, I'm looking after you.

I know that.

You agree with me?

You're my mate.

- I'm glad you came down to see me.
- I'm glad too.

Although I have to be honest,
Smurf, Newport is a bit of a shithole.

Don't push your luck.

I'll show you the most
beautiful sight in the world.

Where are we going?

It's not the countryside, is
it? I hate the countryside!

Trees give me the willies.

I love a bit of Laugharne, me.

- Not too shabby, eh?
- It's all right.

The most important
place in the world to me.

That's why I had
to share it with you.

We scattered my brother here.

Boss man stood just
about where you are now.

Captain James was here?

- And he liked it, yeah?
- Loved it.

He loves Dylan Thomas.

That's where he
wrote all his stuff.

Captain James knew all about it.

He read a bit of it when
we scattered Geraint.

It was...

Perfect.

He always knows what to do
to make everything just right.

The boss man's spot on.

It's a fluke.

Every bloody thing.

It's a fluke.

Where we're born, who you
meet, who you fall in love with.

It's all fluke.

We're here, Smurf, but
anything could happen.

One of us could stand on a mine or
get sniped or green on blue...anything.

Like you getting
a battle casualty

replacement call and
joining the Under Fives.

- If I hadn't joined the Under Fives...
- We'd never have got back together.

Don't push it, mate.

I done a project on butterflies
when I was in primary school.

- They only live for a day, don't they?
- No, that's mayflies.

See them stingers there?

That's where butterflies
like to lay their eggs.

Them eggs turn into caterpillars, then the
caterpillars turn into butterflies. Bosh!

What?

The life cycle of a butterfly.

You learn something
new every day.

Pirbright, Afghan,
shot or fragged...

prison... the life
cycle of a squaddie.

Catterick, Afghan, war hero...

knighted, big bastard
house in Newport,

life cycle of me.

I think that's the life
cycle of someone a bit

higher up in the chain
of command than you.

Maybe the boss man. Except
he would never move to Newport.

You never know.

I think we do.

Captain James would never
really mix with the likes of...

The likes of us?

The likes of you, I
was more thinking.

- Fate's thrown us together.
- Captain James?

Me and you.

Molls, I've got an idea.

Let's go London. We
need to be together.

- What did he read?
- Who?

The boss man, at
Geraint's funeral.

"We are not wholly bad or good

Who live our lives
under Milkwood

And thou, I know,
wilt be the first

To see our best
side, not our worst"

I'll look after you.

Don't you worry about that.

Where are we going?

London.

Am I coming?

Yeah, of course. How
else can I look after

your ugly mug if you're
hundreds of miles away?

Classic!

Why would anyone want
to live in a shithole like this?

It's sort of beautiful
in its own way.

No, mate.

Sort of....shit.

You're a know-nothing
Newport wank stain.

What are you gonna do
with your deployment money?

I dunno.

I'm going to Vegas.
I'll have about 14 grand.

I'm gonna stick the fucking lot on
red, you know, the roulette wheel.

And I'll walk away
with 28 grand.

Tidy!

Come with me to Vegas and [I'll
let you put the money on for me.

You can bring me luck.

I ain't go anything to wear.

I'll get you something
nice - red and silky.

Mm, classy!

All dressed up like
a gangster's moll.

Walk into the casino and
whack my dough down.

That does sound cool.

Eugh...

That's a proper
binding contract, that.

You and me to Vegas.

I might have even persuaded
you to marry me by then.

♪ There's a fallen shore

♪ I know

4 And I'm thinking
of home tonight

♪ There's spark in our eyes

♪ But I'm letting
you down tonight

Are you asleep, Mum?

What's the matter?

- Where's Dad?
- He's gone to sleep downstairs.

Smurf's down there.

Well, he'll sleep somewhere.

Or he'll sit up
all night drinking.

What's gonna happen, Mum?

You used to snuggle
in with me every night.

Yeah, until you had all
them other little bleeders.

Then there was no room for me.

I love you lot. I do.

I love you to bits.

But why can't I have
a job and have kids?

I'd be home by lunch time. Is it too
much to ask your dad to help out?

No, I don't think it is.

Really?

I wanted to reach out and all.

Eh?

I could have stayed
at the nail bar but...

I wanted to try something
different, see if I could do it.

You've done well for yourself.

I'm having a go.

She's helping me
believe in myself, Shazza.

I mean, God knows why.

Sometimes you can
become friends with someone

you never thought you
could ever be friends with.

And the differences just disappear and...
just being with them makes you happy.

I knew you'd understand.

Just don't let her
ruin anything here.

Why would she do that?

She's coming in between
you and the people you love.

You still love Dad, don't you?

Yeah.

I mean, he makes me
wonder why half the time, but...

he's all right.

Good.

Tell me the truth.

Do you think I should knock
it on the head and just...

Carry on washing Dad's pants?

No.

No, just go for it.

Just let Dad know he's
loved and he'll be there.

He'll lend a hand.
I know he will.

Arr, give me your toes!

Right, there's
bacon, bread, eggs.

- Are the eggs free range, Mum?
- That's a myth. Beans.

What's a myth?

It's something what's
bollocks. That's a myth.

Can I just say, Molls?
You got a good 'un there.

Nan, I'm a trained killer. Say anything
stupid and I will render you speechless.

Take it from someone who knows.

A good 'un comes along
once a lifetime if you're lucky.

I ballsed up and chose your
granddad cos he had a Triumph Herald.

I let the good one go.

So if that Triumph Herald
hadn't come down the road

at that precise moment in time,
you'd be with your good 'un?

I'd have never had all that
grief from your granddad.

And me and Mum wouldn't exist.

Swings and
roundabouts, I suppose.

Come here, you little monkeys!

Dinosaur! Raar!

I'm now a monster!

I'm not a horse any more!

I see Nan's come round
with her moody food.

All nicked.

You all right?

Fighting fit.

I might join the bleeding Army.

What, with your back?

You don't know what
you've got until it's gone.

I'm trying to be really
nice and everything, Moll.

Well, maybe you've got to be nice
for as long as you've been a twat.

But I've always been a twat.

I thought that's what
your mum loved about me.

Why can't she just stay at home
and teach her own kids reading?

Because she wants to
go to a school anddoit

and be appreciated and
feel like she's moving on up.

I don't want her moving on up!

Dad...

if you hold her hand,
you'll move up with her.

That's what's happening to me.

Who's holding your hand?

Well... mean the Army.

Where are you going?

She's right, you know.

Everyone's a fucking
smart arse all of a sudden.

All right, boys?

- Your eye drops are in there.
- Cheers. Let's have them.

- All right, boss?
- All right, Dawes?

Eggy says we're out of here,
back to Bastion for the duration.

That's right.

Hand over with the temp
medic. Helicopter's waiting.

Yes, boss.

Double away, then.

Did you ask for extra small?

I've just got a small waist, OK?

Any news on Sohail?

Still AWOL.

I was worried he
might try something.

If anyone knows
our secrets, it's him.

- He ain't tried anything yet.
- Maybe he's just lying low.

- Waiting for you to come back.
- Don't say that, that's creepy!

How the hell did Mansfield
Mike slice his forehead?

Apparently he was shaving
gangsta nicks into his eyebrows

when someone burst a balloon
behind him and made him jump.

I bet the boss
weren't too happy!

Mainly because gangsta
nicks are banned in the military.

- Ready?
- Yeah.

- See you later, Molls. Sir.
- Thanks, Jackie.

You OK?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't I be?

I'm glad to be back.

It felt weird, I couldn't get
my head back into normal.

What, are you glad to
be back to abnormal?

I see your boots are
wearing in all right.

What?

You haven't had your
blisters checked by the medic.

Well, maybe you can
give them a once-over later.

These are the medical
emergencies I miss, sir.

Out here in Afghan, I'm at the cutting
edge of this conflict with your blisters.

Are you really glad to be back?

I wanted to come back.

Oi, Molly, you went to bloody
Newport and you weren't a hostage?

You went to Newport?

Old Smurf is a
silver-tongued cav...

Sorry, sir, didn't see you here.

So?

How big a shithole is it, then?

♪ Dawesy and Smurf

♪ K-I-8-5--N-G Mm-mm!

It's like being back at school.

Ooh! Someone's tired!

What have you said?

I just said that
we hung together.

You know what the
piss-taking bastards are like.

- They're doing my nut in.
- Ignore them.

You haven't said anything
happened other than what actually did?

I haven't said anything.

We just chilled in
Newport and London.

- It wasn't a secret, was it?
- No, it wasn't a secret.

- Drink some water.
- Why?

The journey, heat and
that. You might be a little...

I'm quite capable of knowing
when to drink water, thanks.

Molls! I'm not stupid.

I told you, I know you don't want
to go out with anyone in the platoon.

No, Smurf, no. I don't
want to go out with you.

You're my mate, that is it.

Why can't you just be my mate?

Because I love youl!

We just hung
out. It was nothing.

What are you telling me for?

When are we off to Bastion, sir?

0600 tomorrow.

You should probably pack.

So this is the end, yeah?

The kids are going to school!

Try not to run the
little bleeders over or

it'll all have been a
bit of a waste of time!

Our work here is done.

So, are we at Camp
Bastion till draw down, sir?

- Until we're told otherwise.
- Sweet!

Sir, there's only boys.

There's only boys
going to school, sir.

We've been called
back to Bastion, Dawes.

The ANA are in
control of the area.

It has nothing to do with us.

Are we nearly
there yet, or what?

Chill!

Sheet pinned down by rocks.

Looks like there could
be a body underneath.

Blood all over the sheet,
sir. Probably booby-trapped.

I'm ready, boss.

I want you guys
out and covering.

Dawes, you come with me.

I'll barmer your way, boss.

Need you on that gun, Smurf.

It moved! It fucking moved!

I swear, sir. Did
anyone else see that?

Sure it wasn't just the wind?

I'll investigate.

You wait out
until I call you in.

Dawes, what the
hell are you doing?

Molly!

- You got a death wish?
- Maybe.

Anyway, it's good to have
some quality time together.

Is that why you're
risking your neck?

Nothing happened with Smurf.

- Well, at least now I know.
- Know what?

I never thought you
would look at someone

like me. I thought you
were out of my league.

What are you trying
to say, Dawes?

I'm just saying.

I'm fond of you, sir.

And I wanted to tell you in
case we get to that sheet,

and someone detonates it
and we're blown to smithereens.

Let's continue this conversation
back at Brize Norton, shall we?

Isn't love stronger
than Army regulations?

Nothing is stronger
than Army regulations.

Do you love me?

Sohail?

- Sohail?
- Vallon the perimeter.

Sohail, just... just
stay with me, all right?

I'm gonna need you to give
me them evil eyes again, OK?

Kinders, it's Sohail. Wait out.

We're gonna need to
Casevac him out of here, ASAP.

Kinders, make sure
they sent a Mert.

Cat A injured ANA.

Roger that

Let me die.

- Tell them to let me die.
- Just keep your head still for me, OK?

He says he has
nothing to live for.

We've all gotta have hope. I'm a West
Ham fan, I know what I'm talking about.

Who did this to you, Sohail?

Taliban.

They asked me to do something.

They beat me up
because I said no.

Is he gonna make it?

Massive internal bleeds. We'll operate
and try to alleviate some pressure but...

How are you doing, mate?

Hang in there for us, yeah?

They kidnapped
me and beat me up.

Anything to do with the green
on green at the mountain pass?

No.

Was it something
to do with Bashira?

Her father, Badrai,
sent her to spy.

That's why...I tried
to keep her away.

He said...I had to
say where she is.

You didn't tell him, did you?

He mustn't know where she is.

I don't know where she is.

So they beat you with rocks?

They beat me with
rocks because...

..I wouldn't kill someone.

Kill who, Sohail?

He's gone off.

He's gone offl

Suddenly dropped his GCS.

Blood pressure going
up, his pulse is dropping.

No radial pulse.

- No carotid pulse.
- Let's get him into the scanner.

Call an anaesthetist.

You're gonna be all right,
I'll get you out of here.

Stay with me, OK?

The insurgent known
to us as Badrai is on

his way to Kabul with
a cache of explosives.

This mission will determine how successful
our time in Afghanistan has been.

It's not Badrai.

Bashira.

She's safe.

Not any more.

Man down! Man down!

I want you to be
the last thing I see.

Ditto.
