Our Girl (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript
Bashira? That's a
lovely name. I'm Molly.
You do not involve yourself
in the lives of the locals.
Her father, Badrai,
sent her to spy.
We're soul sisters.
Am I going to die?
Move!
Where have they taken her, sir?
They're willing to help
remove Bashira from
her family and into a
safe house in Kabul.
Come back to me.
I will.
- Fate's thrown us together.
- Captain James?
Me and you.
Why can't you just be my mate?
Because I love you.
Nothing happened with Smurf.
- At least now I know.
- What are you trying to say, Dawes?
Do you love me?
They beat me with rocks
because... I wouldn't kill someone.
Kill who, Sohail?
Man down! Man down!
One Cat A, urgent
medevac required! Wait out.
Stay with me, OK?
You're gonna be all right, I'm gonna get
you out of here. Just stay with me, OK?
Stay with me.
Come on, stay with me!
Stay with me!
Because you're tucked
up snug and safe in Bastion,
does not mean you are no
longer real soldiers, dig in!
Give us a lift, boss.
You'd only be cheating
yourself, Dawes.
Oh, by the way...
the last one over the
finish line is on latrine clean!
Now, come on!
Oi, runners!
If this is all the effort
you're gonna put in,
we can do a 5k run every morning
and a 10k run every evening
until you do not look like the
unfit rabble you look today.
Can we remember we
are the British Army?
The last soldier past me is
gonna be on latrine clean!
Very clever, 2 Section, indeed!
Think our work
here is almost done.
Oh, that backfired!
My hands stink of...
You know what they say?
- A job shared is a job halved.
- Boys...
I reckon we've got another month of
Bastion before decompression and home.
I'm gutted we're
pulling out, man.
I want another tour!
There's still Taliban out there.
Still Badrai out there.
Where do you reckon
he's hidden himself, Molls?
What are you asking me for?
All that time I spent writing my death
letter and no one'll be able to read it!
You sound gutted, Mansfield.
In my death letter home,
yeah, I told them I wanted
one of them eco-friendly
wicker casket basket thingies.
Can you stop
talking about dying?
My mum's shitting
me up enough as it is.
Why?
She just wrote to me.
Had a premonition.
Thinks something
bad's gonna happen.
Shut up, Smurf,
lad! Go to sleep!
I'm being serious, boys!
Chill out, Smurf, mate.
She was right about Geraint.
Night-night, Smurf.

♪ Fortified
- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah.
Just wanted to let you know, after
Sohail's murder and other intel received,
Badrai is very much
on the Americans' radar.
- What do you mean?
- They need him caught.
And will be doing all
in their considerable
power to support the
ASF and get him caught.
He's pretty much
top of their wanted list.
Really?
Yeah. American Intelligence
have a dossier that...
Well, it makes for
pretty shocking reading.
He's pretty high
up their network.
He's not just some lightweight
ten-dollar Taliban. He's proper.
Right.
So the boss and I
spoke to Major Morley.
American Intelligence?
Any mission will involve you.
You're the only person
who's eye-balled Badrai.
You'll be needed
to positively ID him.
Are you happy with that?
Yeah, it'll be my
absolute pleasure, boss.
OK. We'll let you know
when you're needed.
Better go grab some
breakfast while you can.
You coming to watch the
volleyball? It's us against the Yanks.
I dunno if I can.
What are you doing?
Just got other duties and stuff.
What other duties?
Smurf, I'll come if I can.
Don't worry about
what your mum said.
You've got a face
like a slapped arse.
The 50 Sausage Challenge!
Goon!
50 sausages in 50 minutes.
Come on, mate, you can do it.
Ready? Three, two, one...
Coming to watch the volleyball,
Qaseem? You're basically a Brit now.
- No, I'm basically not.
- It was supposed to be a compliment, mate.
Really?
- No pleasing some people, is there?
- I'm very happy being an Afghan.
Eggy said you're out of
here, your contract's finished.
I'm going back to Kabul.
Is that good?
I'm ready.
Is Kabul ready for you?
When this is all over...
can I come and
visit you in Kabul?
I know the subtext.
I don't even know
what that means.
It means you want
to visit Bashira.
I just hope that
she's all right.
You never know what
her dad's gonna do, and
if he does anything
to that little girl...
Badrai won't hurt her.
You mustn't worry about Bashira.
People are looking
after her, I'm sure.
I just wanna help.
- You have done.
- Have 1?
Yes.
I dunno.
Come on, man!
- Come onl!
- Yes!
I'll be back in a minute.
Sometimes, I don't know how
I'm able to keep my hands off you.
Ditto.
Ditto?
Bleeding "ditto"? I was expecting
something a bit more romantic than "ditto".
We agreed we'd wait out.
I am waiting out, aren't I?
I'm obeying your orders, boss.
We haven't actually
done anything, so...
I need to stay focused...
get you guys home in one piece.
You're in my charge.
If this is a mistake,
then just say.
What do you mean, "mistake"?
If you're regretting
it... us and...me.
You should get ready. They
think they've located Badrai.
Afghan Special Forces
are waiting for you.

These two?
This one?
No.
- It's not him.
- Please look.
It's not Badrai.
He's not here, boss.
Please...don't hurt him!
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Never been better, boss.
Well, if you will go out
on these secret missions.
Jealous?
You bet! You're off
like some superhero
and I'm left indoors with antiseptic
wipes to clean up afterwards.
What superhero do you know that's that
slow they get a clump to the cake hole?
Our neighbour used to have
this little sign on his mantelpiece:
"Never trouble trouble,
till trouble troubles you."
Oh, right.
I never knew what it
meant till I met you.
What does it mean?
The rest of us keep
our heads down.
But you're, like, "Oi, trouble, come and
have a go if you think you're hard enough!"
- It ain't like that, Jack.
- It seems that way to me.
I'd prefer to be indoors
with the antiseptic
wipes but it never
really works out like that.
You never look for trouble, but trouble
just seems to find you, Molly Dawes.
Exactly.
Despite reliable intel on his
whereabouts, Badrai has evaded us again.
We're ready to start
questioning the three
detainees. We'll see
what intel that yields.
We find him.
Imperative. It's likely
he has a sizeable
cache of explosives
with him from the factory,
which from past experience,
we know he won't hesitate to use.
Sir, as Dawes is the key to the
successful apprehension of Badrali,
can I suggest next
time a joint operation?
Agreed.
I can't believe
he weren't there.
We've just put a bomb factory
and several insurgents out of action.
We have.
Now let's complete the mission.
Molls?
- Don't worry, I can take a punch.
- All right, Molly?
- What happened?
- Has someone clumped you?
Don't be silly, I was joking. I fell
off the running machine at the gym.
Ah, silly girl!
How big a twat did I feel in
a room full of septic tanks?
You haven't asked what
the volleyball score was.
- That's because I don't give a toss.
- We came second.
You look pig sick, Mansfield.
He has just eaten a whole pig.
I'm going vegetarian
as soon as I get home.
- Sorry!
- Right in the kidney!
I need bodies to
unload a truck. Anyone?
Anyone?
Just you, Dawes?
OK, let's go.
A job shared is a job
halved...or something.
Yeah, cool, mate.
It ain't gonna be me.
Moll!
What really happened?
- I told you.
- The truth.
Moll, I know I ballsed it
up between us at the fob.
But your friendship
means so much to me.
I need you in my life.
I am in your life, Smurf.
That's what makes it bearable.
I ain't just saying
this to make you feel
better but you really
are a fucking top bloke.
Really?
Don't sound too surprised.
I need you in my life too.
There, I said it.
Now, shut your hole
and let's crack on.
- Mates.
- Best mates!
Don't push it.
Now, what really
happened to your face?
Mission to capture Badrai.
It didn't really go as planned.
- You and the boss man?
- And the ASF.
He's still out there.
- We felt guilty!
- No, we didn't.
We just didn't
trust you two alone.
Eh, man? Whoo!
What are they gonna do with
all this kit in Cyprus, anyway?
Get the poor sods deployed out there to
unload it, then stack it somewhere else.
Then reload it into another container
when we're deployed to Africa.
That's where Brains
reckons it'll kick off next.
Central African
Republic. Mark my words.
Where's that, then?
Central Africa...you penis face.
Charming!
You all right?
Smurf, stop asking
me if I'm all right.
The minute I'm not all
right, I'll let you know.
I can understand why
that guy clumped you now.
Jokes.
Good 'un.
If my old girl's right...I'll
never get to see Vegas.
Your old girl ain't
gonna be right.
Great, so we're going to Vegas?
I walked into
that one, didn't 1?
That is the dress
I'm getting you.
Classy!
Imagine how good you'll
look on my arm wearing that.
I'm not gonna be on your arm,
you're gonna be 20 paces behind me.
Are you ashamed to
be seen out with me?
Mortified, mate!
You'd better cheer up before
we go to the chapel to see Elvis.
There's only two things
wrong with that, Smurf.
I ain't marrying you
and Elvis is dead.
Dead?
Aww...break it to me slowly!
I didn't even
realise he was ill.
You lot were
supposed to be working.
- Sorry, sir.
- Boys, come on.
What's the matter with you?
We're doing it.
Dawes?
They need you now.
There'll be nothing
left of the place soon.
Not long.
You looking forward
to going home, boss?
Nope.
Mansfield wanted to
stay in the fob forever.
Well, if you find a moment
where you feel happy...
You or Mansfield?
They're waiting for us in
the detention facility, Dawes.
Major Morley.
As you were.
The three insurgents have now been
questioned and certain information gleaned.
We believe Badrai fled to a
Taliban stronghold in the mountains.
The insurgent who struck you.
You have no idea who he is?
- No.
- Sure about that?
Sir.
He knows you.
Me?
I don't know him.
What's he said?
/ am saying nothing.
Why did you attack
that British medic?
Did he just say "Bashira"?
He's saying you have
ruined everything.
- He knows me?
- It would seem so.
He keeps saying
it is all your fault...
..even Bashira.
So he was just saying
Bashira? He knows her?
Yes.
He won't identify himself or give us
any information. Just that it's your fault.
Sir, permission to
talk to the detainee.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
If it's my fault, sir, he can
look me in the eye and tell me.
He might reveal more.
He's been restrained.
Let's see what happens.
- Gonna tell him I'm coming in?
- No.
The element of surprise.
Go in there, sit in the chair
opposite and look at him.
If he says nothing, simply and
calmly ask him why it's your fault.
Yes, sir.
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
You ready?
Count to ten and follow us in.
She has torn my family apart.
Have 1?
My sister has been taken
and my father hunted.
Hunted like an animal.
Badrai is your father?
He said, "Everything
was fine until the
Americans and British
came and tried to kill us."
- Bashira's your sister?
- Not any more.
You corrupt her with
your pens and sweets.
What do you mean?
I mean...
you've no right
destroying my country.
I mean, you've no right
destroying...my family!
I ain't scared of you.
We will be revenged.
My father will
revenge our honour.
How?
Bashira.
She will pay for her sins.
She's safe.
Not any more.
Badrai's clearly
on his way to Kabul.
He has explosives with him. He's
likely planning a significant attack.
We mustn't let him near Bashira.
We won't. A contact provided intel
on the vehicle Badrai is likely to be in.
He will inform us
when he's underway.
Let's prep a mission, Afghan Special
Forces and a team of your Brits as back-up.
I'll lead 2 Section, sir.
I've destroyed that family.
- No, you haven't.
- Yes, I have.
Instead of saving Bashira,
I've put her in danger.
What was wrong with the life she
had before I kiboshed everything?
Fine, she didn't go to school,
but maybe that ain't so bad.
You've always
done the right thing.
- He's gonna get her, isn't he?
- Nope.
Yes, he is, and
it's all my fault.
He won't, because we'll support the
ASF and make sure that doesn't happen.
You know and I know, if I
didn't get involved, she'd be fine.
Sohail would be fine,
my section would be fine,
playing volleyball
and eating sausages.
Instead, I'm about to put them in
danger, all because I fucked up.
Come here.
He wanted to kill that
little girl and you saved her.
Her brother looked me in the
eye and said it was all my fault.
I'm looking you in the
eye and saying it isn't.
Itis! I'm an epic faill
A little while ago, I
would have agreed.
You've taught me more
in a few months than
a year at Sandhurst
and four tours ever did.
- I don't think so.
- I happen to know so.
When I first saw you, I thought
you'd hold the platoon back,
one of those bad apples
that infect those around them.
Maybe you were right.
You've made me engage my brain.
We need to fix the small cogs on the wheel
so the whole huge Afghanistan can work.
I haven't fixed
anything, I've broken it.
No, you haven't, you
were right all along.
We do need to get involved, look
after that little girl and give her a life.
The only way we can fix the big things
is by fixing the small. You taught me that.
Really?
I think you should be proud
of the soldier you've become.
Thank you, boss.
I'm not always
gonna be your boss.
Not when we get home.
We?
Have you ever been to Bath?
You know, the city.
No, but it sounds a bit shit.
No, it's perfect.
I don't do perfect.
It doesn't really suit me.
Yes, it does.
My parents have an old house
there. It's where I grew up.
I don't like those scary houses with
the big staircases what people fall down.
Like in The Omen.
Have you seen that?
That house at
Christmas is magical.
Are you inviting me
for Christmas, boss?
Have you got a moment, boss?
Erm...
In there.
What do you want, Smurf?
Got nothing to do?
Boss, it's just...
Smurf?
Sorry, boss.
What's wrong?
Engagement ring.
That's very sweet of
you, and all, Smurf, but...
..my feelings for you
are purely platonic.
Despite what my granddad says,
Winston Churchill ain't the
greatest Brit who ever lived.
You are.
If I had a dad...I'd
want him to be like you.
I'm a bit young to be
your dad, aren't I, Smurf?
Mum's got this kind of gloomy feeling
that I ain't gonna be coming home.
I told her all about
how I feel and that.
She sent me her
engagement ring...
reckoned she didn't
need it any more.
She said...
I shouldn't put off until
tomorrow what I can do today,
cos there might not be a
tomorrow, you never know.
What the hell are
you talking about?
You know, sir.
No, I don't.
Molly.
Smurf...
nothing is going to
happen to you on this tour.
Tell your mum to stop panicking.
Can I suggest you put
that ring in your pocket
and don't get it out
ill you're in Newport?
You're here to work.
I won't have anyone take
their eyes off the task in hand.
But if Molly says yes...
Do not allow personal feelings
to interfere with your work.
- I'm not, sir.
- That is exactly what you're doing.
The word is, we're out
of Bastion on a mission.
I wanted to square it away with
her in case something happens.
Smurf, put the ring away.
And don't mention any of this to me again
or I'll put you on the first plane home.
It's against Army protocol and it's
endangering all of us. Understood?
How am I endangering all of us?
Smurf, go, now!
Sorry, boss.
Just...I only wanted
some advice.
How did you
propose to your wife?
Mission briefing at 2000 hours.
Now, go.
This is exactly what I meant
and why I said wait out.
You're annoyed with me?
How the hell does that work?
I'm saying I've done the same as
Smurf. We're supposed to be here to work.
- You're married and didn't think to say?
- We've split up.
Separated. I've come on tour
so she can sort everything out.
You're married. Did
that just slip your mind?
- Did you not hear what I just said?
- You lied to me.
Not once.
You were fucking
economical with the truth!
Gonna tell me next
you've got kids?
Oh, shit, he has.
Moll.
Briefing, 2000 hours.
- It's happening.
- OK.
Are you all right?
You seem a bit...
I'm just being
quiet, that's all.
Fair enough.
Do you want me
to get you anything?
I can get you a pizza
or something if you want.
Are you sure you're OK, Molls?
Hey.
Hey.
Don't you worry, all right?
What am I not supposed
to worry about, Smurf?
The mission.
Nothing...no one
will hurt you...
Ever.
It's OK.
Let it all out.
What am I like?
Don't worry about it.
Sorry that I'm such a
fuck-muppet half the time.
You and me both, eh?
Sometimes things
can creep up on you.
I'm the same.
Thank you.
I couldn't have got through
this tour without you.
We help each other through.
That's the point.
You're a proper mate.
Molls, I'm gonna give
you something now.
Maybe it don't mean anything...
as much as maybe I'd like it to.
Please, Smurf, not now.
I know what your
answer will be, so I'm just
gonna give it to you
now, no strings attached...
while I've got the chance.
I might not get the
opportunity again cos...
things happen and that.
We're on a mission, so...
It's my mum's ring.
But I want you to have it.
You're my best mate and...
..this so doesn't suit me.
You're so sweet, Smurf.
AmI?
Sometimes.
You'll keep the ring?
Well, if it doesn't suit you, I'll
look after it until you want it back.
You've looked after me, so I'm gonna
look after you till I've got you home.
That Badrai ain't getting
anywhere near you.
I promise.
Sit up!
Relax.
The insurgent known
to us as Badrai is on
his way to Kabul with
a cache of explosives.
Our objective is to ID and apprehend him
before he causes significant loss of life.
Badrai's currently in
the mountain region.
In order fo reach Kabul,
he needs fo cross the
river where there's an
existing ANA checkpoint.
Reliable intel informs
us the truck he's likely
fo be travelling in is
already on the road.
ANA will stop the truck
SO no suspicion is aroused.
The only person who can positively
ID the target is Private Dawes.
But any visible presence
of UK forces risks
alerting Taliban spotters
who will warn Badrai.
So it is imperative that this
remains a covert operation.
At 0200, 2 Section
will board the helicopter
and travel to the region
under the cover of darkness.
We drop three kilometres from the
bridge, so as not fo attract any attention.
From there, we'll make our way to
the checkpoint along an irrigation ditch.
The ditch leads to a disused compound,
50 metres away from the checkpoint,
which we will need to reach
and secure before dawn.
An ASF officer who will be
with the ANA will make contact.
We then await the arrival of the
truck suspected of transporting Badrai.
At which point,
we'll break cover,
and Private Dawes will be
called up fo ID the occupant
Once Badrai has been
apprehended, we radio for extraction.
This mission will determine how successful
our time in Afghanistan has been.
If Badrai eludes
us, lives will be lost.
One life is one too many.
Any questions?
No, sir.
Let's go get him.
Right, Smurf.
Central in the ditch,
edging forward.
Everyone else, focus up. Keep a couple of
metres between you and the person in front.
Let's go.
You can hate me if it helps.
But I'm getting you
home in one piece.
- What was that?
- Has anyone got a visual?
- Was that contact?
- Where are they?
Everybody, stay down!
- Is everyone all right?
- Are you OK?
- Must have been a mortar.
- It's ringing in my earhole!
- I'm fine.
- All right.
It's thunder.
It's bloody thunder!
Rain in Afghan!
I'm so not booking
this again next year, sir!
- It's like I'm back in Manchester.
- Cos that's a shithole as welll
Everyone, focus up!
Smurf, on you go!
- That's the bridge, 50 metres west, sir.
- Got it, I can see the checkpoint.
Yeah, that's the
compound, 50 metres south.
Right, guys, secure the
compound. Baz and Smurf, lead on.
Clear.
- Clear.
- Clear.
Kinders and Dangleberries, at
those windows on guard duty now.
- Yes, sir.
- Mansfield and Smurf next.
Then Fingers and
Brains, Nude-Nut and Baz.
Dawes, set up a
temporary med centre.
Boss.
Let's get this place
squared away!
You need help?
I'm all right.
Are you?
Yeah.
What?
We are doing the right thing.
Never lose sense of that.
I just hope that the right thing
doesn't get those boys killed.
Everything is under control.
You volunteered
for this mission.
Yes.
You could be safely tucked
up in your gaff in Kabul.
This word, "gaff"?
House.
We had an apartment.
Did you sell it?
There was an explosion.
Is that what happened
to your wife and daughter?
Now I have nothing...
except the guilt.
It weren't your fault.
No.
But I survived.
Sometimes I wish I hadn't.
So you volunteer for missions.
Bashira's the age my daughter...
was, when she...
And you are the age my
daughter would have been.
Unidentified male approaching.
- Has he got a weapon?
- Can't tell, boss.
Identify yourself!
Halt! Yeah, stand still!
Sergeant Ramazan-Ali.
Sergeant Ramazan-Ali.
He's ASF, boss.
Advance, one, and be recognised.
Relax, guys, he's
our ASF contact.
- Salaam alaikum.
- Wa-alaikum salaam.
Manchester United.
Nah, Derby County, me, mate.
Support your local team, mate.
Manchester United plays in red.
And Manchester
City plays in blue.
What is going on?
- You? Who you?
- I'm a red, mate.
Liverpool?
Me and you are
gonna fall out, mate.
He says the ANA at
the checkpoint will make
radio contact with him
as the truck approaches.
So what now, then, boss man?
We wait out.
All right?
That Ramazan-Ali's a
bit of a case, isn't he?
Abit of a nut case. A bit worrying that
he's the best we've got at the checkpoint.
It's gonna be all right.
What is?
Everything.
We're gonna have
Badrai by the short and
curlies and back at
Bastion before breakfast.
You were all doom and gloom a few
moments ago, with your mum's premonition.
I just know everything's
gonna be all right.
Perfect, in fact.
You're wearing my mum's
ring and we're going home.
Calm down, mate, it's
round my neck, not my finger.
When I first came
out here to Afghan,
I honestly didn't give a
toss what happened to me.
But now... Stop
talking bollocks, Smurf.
Fair play.
It's funny though, ain't it,
when you think about it?
What?
Well... I just wish
I'd texted you back.
I knew you were keen on me,
but I knew I was coming to Afghan.
Keen on you?
Dream on, mate!
If I'd have called you back and we'd met
up, who knows what might have happened?
I do - I'd have ended up killing you
before you got on that plane to Afghan.
Funny, though, ain't it...
how everything works out?
Like the bullet
that got Geraint.
1,000-1, they said. A
fraction of an inch either
side and he'd still be
alive. That's all I mean.
If I'd have called you
and we'd met up after
that night round the back
of the Indian takeaway,
maybe we'd be together...
Smurf, go back to Newport.
Find someone who deserves you.
All right, Dawes? It's
all looking shipshape.
I've packed most of it in the med
bergan, boss, in case we need it at the CP.
Not an ideal situation if we're
attacked from the south here.
We shall have to
wait out for that truck.
And for Badrai.
Are you OK?
Why wouldn't I be?
I have a son.
He's part of my life.
Of course I wanted to tell you but the
appropriate moment never came up.
You really hurt me.
All I want is to make you happy.
Well, you fucked up big time.
In that ditch,
when the thunder...
- It frightened the life out of me.
- Exactly.
In that moment, a lot of
things flashed through my mind.
I thought it was the end.
Sodidl.
I turned... and
looked at you and...
..you're all I wanted.
I want you to be
the last thing I see.
Ditto.
Boss man, target's on the way.
Ramazan-Ali has comms
from the checkpoint.
They will stop the truck,
we await instructions.
Everyone, kit up!
The truck is approaching
the first checkpoint.
Sir, they're letting it through.
It's crossing the bridge.
- What's he saying?
- Making sure they stop the truck.
We're gonna lose him, sir!
They've got it at the second
barrier. It's stopped, sir.
Stopped.
Right, guys, listen in.
We're together and
we're in one piece.
And that's how we're gonna
leave, is that understood?
Sir.
I'm proud to serve alongside
each and every one of you.
You make me the soldier I am.
- Baz, lead out.
- Yes, sir.
- Boss...
- Clocked him, Baz.
He don't feel right, does he?
It's the ones you can't see
you've got to watch out for.
Everyone, take up your
positions! Smurf, you're with me.
Farmer Giles is still
having a gawp at us.
Smurf, eyes on that
farmer and covering west.
Dawes?
You're to examine
the back of the truck.
Salaam alaikum.
Wa-alaikum salaam.
- Salaam alaikum.
- Salaam alaikum.
Everything looking as
it should do, Dawes?
Something ain't right, boss.
Where's that contact?
Smurf, what the
hell are you doing?
Come on, you wanker.
Go for your weapon!
Smurfl
Smurf, what the fuck are you doing?
Does that farmer even have a gun?
Go for your weapon!
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Put your gun down, Smurfl
- Is he an insurgent, boss?
- Has he got a weapon?
Smurf, what the fuck happened?
You! That's what
fucking happened!
- What do you mean?
- You've ruined everything!
What?
I looked in.
I don't know what the fuck you're talking
about, but put your gun down now, Smurfl
- Are you all right, Smurf?
- Boss, what the hell's going on?
Hold your positions!
Smurf, put your gun down!
Worried I might shoot you?
What's happening? Is
the target in the truck?
I don't know what the fuck you
mean. Put your gun down now.
Lower your gun now, Smurf.
I'd have laid down my life
for you, boss. And Molly.
Private Smith, lower your
gun now! That is an order!
But she wants you to
be the last thing she sees.
Truck, sirl
Sir, we need to ID the people
in the truck and get it moving!
Me and Geraint were identical
twins, yet I was always the ugly one.
How's that possible?
I always got the
shit end of the stick.
Everyone loved
him - I did, you did.
And then, for the first
time in my life, I found love.
Then suddenly, everything felt
right, everything felt like it should.
What happens? The man who I trust
more than anyone else in this world
smashes me in the face
with the shit end of the stick.
Dylan Smith, you are endangering this
mission and the lives of fellow soldiers.
Do not bring "personal"
into the battlefield!
You did.
Boss, boss!
Boss, it's Badrail
It's him in the burgal
Everybody take cover!
Man down! Man down!
Captain James is down!
Man down!
One Cat A, urgent
medevac required!
MIST rep, wait out.
Just stay with me, all right?
You'll be all right, I'll
get you out of here.
Molly, keep your head down!
Get the fuck down, Smurfl
Two Cat A, urgent
medevac required.
Repeat, urgent medevac required.
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Zero, this is Alpha Three Zero.
Emergency medevac required!
Smurf, I'm gonna need a bit of self-help.
Can you get a tourniquet on that?
Stay with me, sir.
All right, stay with me.
Stay with me.
Molly!
Qi, that's Dawes to you.
Smurfl How's Smurf?
Put direct pressure
on this, boss.
How you doing?
Smurfl How's he doing, Molly?
He's doing all right,
aren't you, Smurf?
I don't know, Moll.
Yes, you are.
You're gonna get better.
You're gonna get better cos
you're taking me to Vegas.
Still want to go?
More than anything in
the world, I promise you.
Direct pressure. Put
direct pressure on that.
Can anyone
confirm he took a hit?
- How you doing, boss?
- You have to treat Smurf.
I'm treating both of you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Where the hell is he?
- Does anyone have eyes on Badrai?

You do not involve yourself

Her father, Badrai,
sent her to spy.
We're soul sisters.
Am I going to die?
Move!
Where have they taken her, sir?
They're willing to help
remove Bashira from
her family and into a
safe house in Kabul.
Come back to me.
I will.
- Fate's thrown us together.
- Captain James?
Me and you.
Why can't you just be my mate?
Because I love you.
Nothing happened with Smurf.
- At least now I know.
- What are you trying to say, Dawes?
Do you love me?
They beat me with rocks
because... I wouldn't kill someone.
Kill who, Sohail?
Man down! Man down!
One Cat A, urgent

Stay with me, OK?
You're gonna be all right, I'm gonna get

Because you're tucked
up snug and safe in Bastion,
does not mean you are no

Give us a lift, boss.
You'd only be cheating
yourself, Dawes.
Oh, by the way...
the last one over the
finish line is on latrine clean!
Now, come on!
Oi, runners!
If this is all the effort
you're gonna put in,
we can do a 5k run every morning
and a 10k run every evening
until you do not look like the
unfit rabble you look today.
Can we remember we
are the British Army?
The last soldier past me is
gonna be on latrine clean!
Very clever, 2 Section, indeed!
Think our work
here is almost done.
Oh, that backfired!
My hands stink of...
You know what they say?
- A job shared is a job halved.
- Boys...
I reckon we've got another month of
Bastion before decompression and home.
I'm gutted we're
pulling out, man.
I want another tour!
There's still Taliban out there.
Still Badrai out there.
Where do you reckon
he's hidden himself, Molls?
What are you asking me for?
All that time I spent writing my death
letter and no one'll be able to read it!
You sound gutted, Mansfield.
In my death letter home,
yeah, I told them I wanted
one of them eco-friendly
wicker casket basket thingies.
Can you stop
talking about dying?
My mum's shitting
me up enough as it is.
Why?
She just wrote to me.
Had a premonition.
Thinks something
bad's gonna happen.
Shut up, Smurf,
lad! Go to sleep!
I'm being serious, boys!
Chill out, Smurf, mate.
She was right about Geraint.
Night-night, Smurf.

- You wanted to see me?
- Yeah.
Just wanted to let you know, after
Sohail's murder and other intel received,
Badrai is very much
on the Americans' radar.
- What do you mean?
- They need him caught.
And will be doing all
in their considerable
power to support the
ASF and get him caught.
He's pretty much
top of their wanted list.
Really?
Yeah. American Intelligence
have a dossier that...
Well, it makes for
pretty shocking reading.
He's pretty high
up their network.
He's not just some lightweight
ten-dollar Taliban. He's proper.
Right.
So the boss and I
spoke to Major Morley.
American Intelligence?
Any mission will involve you.
You're the only person
who's eye-balled Badrai.
You'll be needed
to positively ID him.
Are you happy with that?
Yeah, it'll be my
absolute pleasure, boss.
OK. We'll let you know
when you're needed.
Better go grab some
breakfast while you can.
You coming to watch the
volleyball? It's us against the Yanks.
I dunno if I can.
What are you doing?
Just got other duties and stuff.
What other duties?
Smurf, I'll come if I can.
Don't worry about
what your mum said.
You've got a face
like a slapped arse.
The 50 Sausage Challenge!
Goon!
50 sausages in 50 minutes.
Come on, mate, you can do it.
Ready? Three, two, one...
Coming to watch the volleyball,
Qaseem? You're basically a Brit now.
- No, I'm basically not.
- It was supposed to be a compliment, mate.
Really?
- No pleasing some people, is there?
- I'm very happy being an Afghan.
Eggy said you're out of
here, your contract's finished.
I'm going back to Kabul.
Is that good?
I'm ready.
Is Kabul ready for you?
When this is all over...
can I come and
visit you in Kabul?
I know the subtext.
I don't even know
what that means.
It means you want
to visit Bashira.
I just hope that
she's all right.
You never know what
her dad's gonna do, and
if he does anything
to that little girl...
Badrai won't hurt her.
You mustn't worry about Bashira.
People are looking
after her, I'm sure.
I just wanna help.
- You have done.
- Have 1?
Yes.
I dunno.
Come on, man!
- Come onl!
- Yes!
I'll be back in a minute.
Sometimes, I don't know how
I'm able to keep my hands off you.
Ditto.
Ditto?
Bleeding "ditto"? I was expecting
something a bit more romantic than "ditto".
We agreed we'd wait out.
I am waiting out, aren't I?
I'm obeying your orders, boss.
We haven't actually
done anything, so...
I need to stay focused...
get you guys home in one piece.
You're in my charge.
If this is a mistake,
then just say.
What do you mean, "mistake"?
If you're regretting
it... us and...me.
You should get ready. They
think they've located Badrai.
Afghan Special Forces
are waiting for you.

These two?
This one?
No.
- It's not him.
- Please look.
It's not Badrai.
He's not here, boss.
Please...don't hurt him!
Are you all right?
Yeah.
Never been better, boss.
Well, if you will go out
on these secret missions.
Jealous?
You bet! You're off
like some superhero
and I'm left indoors with antiseptic
wipes to clean up afterwards.
What superhero do you know that's that
slow they get a clump to the cake hole?
Our neighbour used to have
this little sign on his mantelpiece:
"Never trouble trouble,
till trouble troubles you."
Oh, right.
I never knew what it
meant till I met you.
What does it mean?
The rest of us keep
our heads down.
But you're, like, "Oi, trouble, come and
have a go if you think you're hard enough!"
- It ain't like that, Jack.
- It seems that way to me.
I'd prefer to be indoors
with the antiseptic
wipes but it never
really works out like that.
You never look for trouble, but trouble
just seems to find you, Molly Dawes.
Exactly.
Despite reliable intel on his
whereabouts, Badrai has evaded us again.
We're ready to start
questioning the three
detainees. We'll see
what intel that yields.
We find him.
Imperative. It's likely
he has a sizeable
cache of explosives
with him from the factory,
which from past experience,
we know he won't hesitate to use.
Sir, as Dawes is the key to the
successful apprehension of Badrali,
can I suggest next
time a joint operation?
Agreed.
I can't believe
he weren't there.
We've just put a bomb factory
and several insurgents out of action.
We have.
Now let's complete the mission.
Molls?
- Don't worry, I can take a punch.
- All right, Molly?
- What happened?
- Has someone clumped you?
Don't be silly, I was joking. I fell
off the running machine at the gym.
Ah, silly girl!
How big a twat did I feel in
a room full of septic tanks?
You haven't asked what
the volleyball score was.
- That's because I don't give a toss.
- We came second.
You look pig sick, Mansfield.
He has just eaten a whole pig.
I'm going vegetarian
as soon as I get home.
- Sorry!
- Right in the kidney!
I need bodies to
unload a truck. Anyone?
Anyone?
Just you, Dawes?
OK, let's go.
A job shared is a job
halved...or something.
Yeah, cool, mate.
It ain't gonna be me.
Moll!
What really happened?
- I told you.
- The truth.
Moll, I know I ballsed it
up between us at the fob.
But your friendship
means so much to me.
I need you in my life.
I am in your life, Smurf.
That's what makes it bearable.
I ain't just saying
this to make you feel
better but you really
are a fucking top bloke.
Really?
Don't sound too surprised.
I need you in my life too.
There, I said it.
Now, shut your hole
and let's crack on.
- Mates.
- Best mates!
Don't push it.
Now, what really
happened to your face?
Mission to capture Badrai.
It didn't really go as planned.
- You and the boss man?
- And the ASF.
He's still out there.
- We felt guilty!
- No, we didn't.
We just didn't
trust you two alone.
Eh, man? Whoo!
What are they gonna do with
all this kit in Cyprus, anyway?
Get the poor sods deployed out there to
unload it, then stack it somewhere else.
Then reload it into another container
when we're deployed to Africa.
That's where Brains
reckons it'll kick off next.
Central African
Republic. Mark my words.
Where's that, then?
Central Africa...you penis face.
Charming!
You all right?
Smurf, stop asking
me if I'm all right.
The minute I'm not all
right, I'll let you know.
I can understand why
that guy clumped you now.
Jokes.
Good 'un.
If my old girl's right...I'll
never get to see Vegas.
Your old girl ain't
gonna be right.
Great, so we're going to Vegas?
I walked into
that one, didn't 1?
That is the dress
I'm getting you.
Classy!
Imagine how good you'll
look on my arm wearing that.
I'm not gonna be on your arm,
you're gonna be 20 paces behind me.
Are you ashamed to
be seen out with me?
Mortified, mate!
You'd better cheer up before
we go to the chapel to see Elvis.
There's only two things
wrong with that, Smurf.
I ain't marrying you
and Elvis is dead.
Dead?
Aww...break it to me slowly!
I didn't even
realise he was ill.
You lot were
supposed to be working.
- Sorry, sir.
- Boys, come on.
What's the matter with you?
We're doing it.
Dawes?
They need you now.
There'll be nothing
left of the place soon.
Not long.
You looking forward
to going home, boss?
Nope.
Mansfield wanted to
stay in the fob forever.
Well, if you find a moment
where you feel happy...
You or Mansfield?
They're waiting for us in
the detention facility, Dawes.
Major Morley.
As you were.
The three insurgents have now been
questioned and certain information gleaned.
We believe Badrai fled to a
Taliban stronghold in the mountains.
The insurgent who struck you.
You have no idea who he is?
- No.
- Sure about that?
Sir.
He knows you.
Me?
I don't know him.
What's he said?
/ am saying nothing.
Why did you attack
that British medic?
Did he just say "Bashira"?
He's saying you have
ruined everything.
- He knows me?
- It would seem so.
He keeps saying
it is all your fault...
..even Bashira.
So he was just saying
Bashira? He knows her?
Yes.
He won't identify himself or give us
any information. Just that it's your fault.
Sir, permission to
talk to the detainee.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
If it's my fault, sir, he can
look me in the eye and tell me.
He might reveal more.
He's been restrained.
Let's see what happens.
- Gonna tell him I'm coming in?
- No.
The element of surprise.
Go in there, sit in the chair
opposite and look at him.
If he says nothing, simply and
calmly ask him why it's your fault.
Yes, sir.
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
You ready?
Count to ten and follow us in.
She has torn my family apart.
Have 1?
My sister has been taken
and my father hunted.
Hunted like an animal.
Badrai is your father?
He said, "Everything
was fine until the
Americans and British
came and tried to kill us."
- Bashira's your sister?
- Not any more.
You corrupt her with
your pens and sweets.
What do you mean?
I mean...
you've no right
destroying my country.
I mean, you've no right
destroying...my family!
I ain't scared of you.
We will be revenged.
My father will
revenge our honour.
How?
Bashira.
She will pay for her sins.
She's safe.
Not any more.
Badrai's clearly
on his way to Kabul.
He has explosives with him. He's
likely planning a significant attack.
We mustn't let him near Bashira.
We won't. A contact provided intel
on the vehicle Badrai is likely to be in.
He will inform us
when he's underway.
Let's prep a mission, Afghan Special
Forces and a team of your Brits as back-up.
I'll lead 2 Section, sir.
I've destroyed that family.
- No, you haven't.
- Yes, I have.
Instead of saving Bashira,
I've put her in danger.
What was wrong with the life she
had before I kiboshed everything?
Fine, she didn't go to school,
but maybe that ain't so bad.
You've always
done the right thing.
- He's gonna get her, isn't he?
- Nope.
Yes, he is, and
it's all my fault.
He won't, because we'll support the
ASF and make sure that doesn't happen.
You know and I know, if I
didn't get involved, she'd be fine.
Sohail would be fine,
my section would be fine,
playing volleyball
and eating sausages.
Instead, I'm about to put them in
danger, all because I fucked up.
Come here.
He wanted to kill that
little girl and you saved her.
Her brother looked me in the
eye and said it was all my fault.
I'm looking you in the
eye and saying it isn't.
Itis! I'm an epic faill
A little while ago, I
would have agreed.
You've taught me more
in a few months than
a year at Sandhurst
and four tours ever did.
- I don't think so.
- I happen to know so.
When I first saw you, I thought
you'd hold the platoon back,
one of those bad apples
that infect those around them.
Maybe you were right.
You've made me engage my brain.
We need to fix the small cogs on the wheel
so the whole huge Afghanistan can work.
I haven't fixed
anything, I've broken it.
No, you haven't, you
were right all along.
We do need to get involved, look
after that little girl and give her a life.
The only way we can fix the big things
is by fixing the small. You taught me that.
Really?
I think you should be proud
of the soldier you've become.
Thank you, boss.
I'm not always
gonna be your boss.
Not when we get home.
We?
Have you ever been to Bath?
You know, the city.
No, but it sounds a bit shit.
No, it's perfect.
I don't do perfect.
It doesn't really suit me.
Yes, it does.
My parents have an old house
there. It's where I grew up.
I don't like those scary houses with
the big staircases what people fall down.
Like in The Omen.
Have you seen that?
That house at
Christmas is magical.
Are you inviting me
for Christmas, boss?
Have you got a moment, boss?
Erm...
In there.
What do you want, Smurf?
Got nothing to do?
Boss, it's just...
Smurf?
Sorry, boss.
What's wrong?
Engagement ring.
That's very sweet of
you, and all, Smurf, but...
..my feelings for you
are purely platonic.
Despite what my granddad says,
Winston Churchill ain't the
greatest Brit who ever lived.
You are.
If I had a dad...I'd
want him to be like you.
I'm a bit young to be
your dad, aren't I, Smurf?
Mum's got this kind of gloomy feeling
that I ain't gonna be coming home.
I told her all about
how I feel and that.
She sent me her
engagement ring...
reckoned she didn't
need it any more.
She said...
I shouldn't put off until
tomorrow what I can do today,
cos there might not be a
tomorrow, you never know.
What the hell are
you talking about?
You know, sir.
No, I don't.
Molly.
Smurf...
nothing is going to
happen to you on this tour.
Tell your mum to stop panicking.
Can I suggest you put
that ring in your pocket
and don't get it out
ill you're in Newport?
You're here to work.
I won't have anyone take
their eyes off the task in hand.
But if Molly says yes...
Do not allow personal feelings
to interfere with your work.
- I'm not, sir.
- That is exactly what you're doing.
The word is, we're out
of Bastion on a mission.
I wanted to square it away with
her in case something happens.
Smurf, put the ring away.
And don't mention any of this to me again
or I'll put you on the first plane home.
It's against Army protocol and it's
endangering all of us. Understood?
How am I endangering all of us?
Smurf, go, now!
Sorry, boss.
Just...I only wanted
some advice.
How did you
propose to your wife?
Mission briefing at 2000 hours.
Now, go.
This is exactly what I meant
and why I said wait out.
You're annoyed with me?
How the hell does that work?
I'm saying I've done the same as
Smurf. We're supposed to be here to work.
- You're married and didn't think to say?
- We've split up.
Separated. I've come on tour
so she can sort everything out.
You're married. Did
that just slip your mind?
- Did you not hear what I just said?
- You lied to me.
Not once.
You were fucking
economical with the truth!
Gonna tell me next
you've got kids?
Oh, shit, he has.
Moll.
Briefing, 2000 hours.
- It's happening.
- OK.
Are you all right?
You seem a bit...
I'm just being
quiet, that's all.
Fair enough.
Do you want me
to get you anything?
I can get you a pizza
or something if you want.
Are you sure you're OK, Molls?
Hey.
Hey.
Don't you worry, all right?
What am I not supposed
to worry about, Smurf?
The mission.
Nothing...no one
will hurt you...
Ever.
It's OK.
Let it all out.
What am I like?
Don't worry about it.
Sorry that I'm such a
fuck-muppet half the time.
You and me both, eh?
Sometimes things
can creep up on you.
I'm the same.
Thank you.
I couldn't have got through
this tour without you.
We help each other through.
That's the point.
You're a proper mate.
Molls, I'm gonna give
you something now.
Maybe it don't mean anything...
as much as maybe I'd like it to.
Please, Smurf, not now.
I know what your
answer will be, so I'm just
gonna give it to you
now, no strings attached...
while I've got the chance.
I might not get the
opportunity again cos...
things happen and that.
We're on a mission, so...
It's my mum's ring.
But I want you to have it.
You're my best mate and...
..this so doesn't suit me.
You're so sweet, Smurf.
AmI?
Sometimes.
You'll keep the ring?
Well, if it doesn't suit you, I'll
look after it until you want it back.
You've looked after me, so I'm gonna
look after you till I've got you home.
That Badrai ain't getting
anywhere near you.
I promise.
Sit up!
Relax.
The insurgent known
to us as Badrai is on
his way to Kabul with
a cache of explosives.
Our objective is to ID and apprehend him
before he causes significant loss of life.
Badrai's currently in
the mountain region.
In order fo reach Kabul,
he needs fo cross the
river where there's an
existing ANA checkpoint.
Reliable intel informs
us the truck he's likely
fo be travelling in is
already on the road.
ANA will stop the truck
SO no suspicion is aroused.
The only person who can positively
ID the target is Private Dawes.
But any visible presence
of UK forces risks
alerting Taliban spotters
who will warn Badrai.
So it is imperative that this
remains a covert operation.
At 0200, 2 Section
will board the helicopter
and travel to the region
under the cover of darkness.
We drop three kilometres from the
bridge, so as not fo attract any attention.
From there, we'll make our way to
the checkpoint along an irrigation ditch.
The ditch leads to a disused compound,
50 metres away from the checkpoint,
which we will need to reach
and secure before dawn.
An ASF officer who will be
with the ANA will make contact.
We then await the arrival of the
truck suspected of transporting Badrai.
At which point,
we'll break cover,
and Private Dawes will be
called up fo ID the occupant
Once Badrai has been
apprehended, we radio for extraction.
This mission will determine how successful
our time in Afghanistan has been.
If Badrai eludes
us, lives will be lost.
One life is one too many.
Any questions?
No, sir.
Let's go get him.
Right, Smurf.
Central in the ditch,
edging forward.
Everyone else, focus up. Keep a couple of
metres between you and the person in front.
Let's go.
You can hate me if it helps.
But I'm getting you
home in one piece.
- What was that?
- Has anyone got a visual?
- Was that contact?
- Where are they?
Everybody, stay down!
- Is everyone all right?
- Are you OK?
- Must have been a mortar.
- It's ringing in my earhole!
- I'm fine.
- All right.
It's thunder.
It's bloody thunder!
Rain in Afghan!
I'm so not booking
this again next year, sir!
- It's like I'm back in Manchester.
- Cos that's a shithole as welll
Everyone, focus up!
Smurf, on you go!
- That's the bridge, 50 metres west, sir.
- Got it, I can see the checkpoint.
Yeah, that's the
compound, 50 metres south.
Right, guys, secure the
compound. Baz and Smurf, lead on.
Clear.
- Clear.
- Clear.
Kinders and Dangleberries, at
those windows on guard duty now.
- Yes, sir.
- Mansfield and Smurf next.
Then Fingers and
Brains, Nude-Nut and Baz.
Dawes, set up a
temporary med centre.
Boss.
Let's get this place
squared away!
You need help?
I'm all right.
Are you?
Yeah.
What?
We are doing the right thing.
Never lose sense of that.
I just hope that the right thing
doesn't get those boys killed.
Everything is under control.
You volunteered
for this mission.
Yes.
You could be safely tucked
up in your gaff in Kabul.
This word, "gaff"?
House.
We had an apartment.
Did you sell it?
There was an explosion.
Is that what happened
to your wife and daughter?
Now I have nothing...
except the guilt.
It weren't your fault.
No.
But I survived.
Sometimes I wish I hadn't.
So you volunteer for missions.
Bashira's the age my daughter...
was, when she...
And you are the age my
daughter would have been.
Unidentified male approaching.
- Has he got a weapon?
- Can't tell, boss.
Identify yourself!
Halt! Yeah, stand still!
Sergeant Ramazan-Ali.
Sergeant Ramazan-Ali.
He's ASF, boss.
Advance, one, and be recognised.
Relax, guys, he's
our ASF contact.
- Salaam alaikum.
- Wa-alaikum salaam.
Manchester United.
Nah, Derby County, me, mate.
Support your local team, mate.
Manchester United plays in red.
And Manchester
City plays in blue.
What is going on?
- You? Who you?
- I'm a red, mate.
Liverpool?
Me and you are
gonna fall out, mate.
He says the ANA at
the checkpoint will make
radio contact with him
as the truck approaches.
So what now, then, boss man?
We wait out.
All right?
That Ramazan-Ali's a
bit of a case, isn't he?
Abit of a nut case. A bit worrying that
he's the best we've got at the checkpoint.
It's gonna be all right.
What is?
Everything.
We're gonna have
Badrai by the short and
curlies and back at
Bastion before breakfast.
You were all doom and gloom a few
moments ago, with your mum's premonition.
I just know everything's
gonna be all right.
Perfect, in fact.
You're wearing my mum's
ring and we're going home.
Calm down, mate, it's
round my neck, not my finger.
When I first came
out here to Afghan,
I honestly didn't give a
toss what happened to me.
But now... Stop
talking bollocks, Smurf.
Fair play.
It's funny though, ain't it,
when you think about it?
What?
Well... I just wish
I'd texted you back.
I knew you were keen on me,
but I knew I was coming to Afghan.
Keen on you?
Dream on, mate!
If I'd have called you back and we'd met
up, who knows what might have happened?
I do - I'd have ended up killing you
before you got on that plane to Afghan.
Funny, though, ain't it...
how everything works out?
Like the bullet
that got Geraint.
1,000-1, they said. A
fraction of an inch either
side and he'd still be
alive. That's all I mean.
If I'd have called you
and we'd met up after
that night round the back
of the Indian takeaway,
maybe we'd be together...
Smurf, go back to Newport.
Find someone who deserves you.
All right, Dawes? It's
all looking shipshape.
I've packed most of it in the med
bergan, boss, in case we need it at the CP.
Not an ideal situation if we're
attacked from the south here.
We shall have to
wait out for that truck.
And for Badrai.
Are you OK?
Why wouldn't I be?
I have a son.
He's part of my life.
Of course I wanted to tell you but the
appropriate moment never came up.
You really hurt me.
All I want is to make you happy.
Well, you fucked up big time.
In that ditch,
when the thunder...
- It frightened the life out of me.
- Exactly.
In that moment, a lot of
things flashed through my mind.
I thought it was the end.
Sodidl.
I turned... and
looked at you and...
..you're all I wanted.
I want you to be
the last thing I see.
Ditto.
Boss man, target's on the way.
Ramazan-Ali has comms
from the checkpoint.
They will stop the truck,
we await instructions.
Everyone, kit up!
The truck is approaching
the first checkpoint.
Sir, they're letting it through.
It's crossing the bridge.
- What's he saying?
- Making sure they stop the truck.
We're gonna lose him, sir!
They've got it at the second
barrier. It's stopped, sir.
Stopped.
Right, guys, listen in.
We're together and
we're in one piece.
And that's how we're gonna
leave, is that understood?
Sir.
I'm proud to serve alongside
each and every one of you.
You make me the soldier I am.
- Baz, lead out.
- Yes, sir.
- Boss...
- Clocked him, Baz.
He don't feel right, does he?
It's the ones you can't see
you've got to watch out for.
Everyone, take up your
positions! Smurf, you're with me.
Farmer Giles is still
having a gawp at us.
Smurf, eyes on that
farmer and covering west.
Dawes?
You're to examine
the back of the truck.
Salaam alaikum.
Wa-alaikum salaam.
- Salaam alaikum.
- Salaam alaikum.
Everything looking as
it should do, Dawes?
Something ain't right, boss.
Where's that contact?
Smurf, what the
hell are you doing?
Come on, you wanker.
Go for your weapon!
Smurfl
Smurf, what the fuck are you doing?
Does that farmer even have a gun?
Go for your weapon!
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Put your gun down, Smurfl
- Is he an insurgent, boss?
- Has he got a weapon?
Smurf, what the fuck happened?
You! That's what
fucking happened!
- What do you mean?
- You've ruined everything!
What?
I looked in.
I don't know what the fuck you're talking
about, but put your gun down now, Smurfl
- Are you all right, Smurf?
- Boss, what the hell's going on?
Hold your positions!
Smurf, put your gun down!
Worried I might shoot you?
What's happening? Is
the target in the truck?
I don't know what the fuck you
mean. Put your gun down now.
Lower your gun now, Smurf.
I'd have laid down my life
for you, boss. And Molly.
Private Smith, lower your
gun now! That is an order!
But she wants you to
be the last thing she sees.
Truck, sirl
Sir, we need to ID the people
in the truck and get it moving!
Me and Geraint were identical
twins, yet I was always the ugly one.
How's that possible?
I always got the
shit end of the stick.
Everyone loved
him - I did, you did.
And then, for the first
time in my life, I found love.
Then suddenly, everything felt
right, everything felt like it should.
What happens? The man who I trust
more than anyone else in this world
smashes me in the face
with the shit end of the stick.
Dylan Smith, you are endangering this
mission and the lives of fellow soldiers.
Do not bring "personal"
into the battlefield!
You did.
Boss, boss!
Boss, it's Badrail
It's him in the burgal
Everybody take cover!
Man down! Man down!
Captain James is down!
Man down!
One Cat A, urgent
medevac required!
MIST rep, wait out.
Just stay with me, all right?
You'll be all right, I'll
get you out of here.
Molly, keep your head down!
Get the fuck down, Smurfl
Two Cat A, urgent
medevac required.
Repeat, urgent medevac required.
Hold your fire! Hold your fire!
Zero, this is Alpha Three Zero.
Emergency medevac required!
Smurf, I'm gonna need a bit of self-help.
Can you get a tourniquet on that?
Stay with me, sir.
All right, stay with me.
Stay with me.
Molly!
Qi, that's Dawes to you.
Smurfl How's Smurf?
Put direct pressure
on this, boss.
How you doing?
Smurfl How's he doing, Molly?
He's doing all right,
aren't you, Smurf?
I don't know, Moll.
Yes, you are.
You're gonna get better.
You're gonna get better cos
you're taking me to Vegas.
Still want to go?
More than anything in
the world, I promise you.
Direct pressure. Put
direct pressure on that.
Can anyone
confirm he took a hit?
- How you doing, boss?
- You have to treat Smurf.
I'm treating both of you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- Where the hell is he?
- Does anyone have eyes on Badrai?
