Strike Back (2010–2018): Season 4, Episode 9 - Episode #4.9 - full transcript

Based on the information gained from the execution of Kamali, Al-Zuhari sends a team to attack the Section 20 base camp site in Moscow. Twenty watches as the terrorist enter an empty room. Locke dials a phone number and the room blows up, eliminating the threat. Twenty interrogates the prisoners from the facility to find out as much as they can. They learn from Dr. Valigny that Maroun Saleh will be in town soon. Stonebridge and Scott go Ester's school to pick her up and take her to a safe house. One of Al Zuhari's men, Qassein is already there looking for her. They all track her down at fun fair. Scott and Stonebridge rescue Ester and escape after a fire fight with Qassein and his men. Martinez and Richmond track Maroun Saleh to a building where they find Al-Zuhari's right hand man Razan Hassan. The Twenty team goes into a ALZ training facility to capture high value targets Maroun Saleh and Raza Hassan. Ever the fanatic, Raza kills Maroun then he orders his men to kill him so 20 can't get any information out of him. The intelligence from the facility is accessed by Richmond. Twenty learns that an infiltrator, Novotny is a on train headed to a large population of people. Scott, Stonebridge and Martinez assault the train to prevent the virus from reaching the city. After buying a few gifts for Ester, Scott & Stonebridge go back to safe house to find it breached by an unexpected player.

Previously on Strike Back...>

That's smallpox right?

Al-Zuhari gets his hands on this,
thousands of people will die.

Tens of thousands.

- What were you uploading?
- Cean skins, their people into the system.

Reza Hassan. If Al-Zuhari's on to
Kamali, he's in trouble.

They have the virus.

They've got Kamali.

He risked his
life and I didn't trust him.

- File from the CIA didn't mention a kid.
- Keep it that way.

Al-Zuhari will bring down
a vengeance upon the West.



Leo told us Al-Zuhari would sacrifice
anyuthing.

Well I'm telling you now,
whatever the sacrifice it will be made.

What am I gonna say
to that little girl?

I am here
to deliver this message.

Al-Zuhari will bring down
a vengeance upon the West.

This is
Kamali's executioner...

Qassem Namazi,

Al-Zuhari's top enforcer

and infamous for his
inventive use of torture.

Well, there's nothing inventive
about that, is there?

True, but we have to assume
they tortured Kamali

and that he broke,

giving Al-Zuhari intel
he can use against us.

I don't believe that.



CCTV Shows Qassem Namazi at
Moscow Airport this morning,

catching a flight to Berlin.

Al-Zuhari will be looking
for retribution

against anyone connected
with Kamali.

- And his family.
- Yeah.

Al-Zuhari will be after them, too.
It's his M.O.

They're gonna go after Ester.

He's here for her.

She's at school
outside the city.

Let's go
get her.

OK. Protect the girl
and bring her in,

but we must stay on mission.

Qassem is our best chance
of finding the virus.

This is what we're up against.

It's a genetically
engineered smallpox

with an infection rate
that is terrifying.

If it's released
into a populated area...

We don't have a vaccine,
and there is no known cure.

We need all the intel
we can get.

Sir, they're into
the Moscow crib.

Kamali must have told them.

You know what to do.

Secure Ester and bring
me a live one,

preferably Qassem.

I need to know how and when
they're gonna use this weapon.

Colonel, and these guys?

No longer a threat.

What is he doing?

What's necessary.

We know your involvement
at the lab, Dr. Valigny,

and we know you're
all vaccinated,

and we need that vaccine.

It will take you months
to extract it from my blood.

Anyone infected with the
strain they're using

will be dead within days.

I want to see my embassy!

OK.

But there is something
you need to understand.

You died
at the Drezna facility.

So the only way you'll make
it back to your embassy

is in one of these.

Unless you can give me
something I can use.

Takenaka dealt with a German,

a businessman.

Maroun Saleh.

All the supplies
went through him.

Maroun Saleh funded
the whole operation.

Maroun Saleh.
Let's go.

Please let me go.

No, no! No!

How you feeling
these days, Mikey?

You all better?

No, not 100%,

but, uh, I still
got your back, yeah?

Yeah. I never doubted
that, bud.

Got to say, though, when I
picked you up from that lab,

thought you were
down for the count.

Yeah. So did I.

You ever feel like everything
that we touch just turns to shit?

This whole thing's
a mess, Mike.

That kid's dad's dead
because of us.

Maybe we should have stayed
on that road to Mexico.

Yeah, maybe.

Let's see this through,

keep our promise to Kamali,

make sure Ester's safe.

Yeah.

Eyes on Saleh.

Target on the move.

He's got company.

Can you grab him?

Not without leaving a mess.

OK. Stay with him.
Take him if you can.

Copy that.

Bloody hell.

Holy fuck!
That's a school?

Yeah. So you're familiar
with the concept, huh?

School? Yeah.

It's where I learned how to
smoke, drink, and fight.

All right.
Let's get Ester out.

Then we'll go get Qassem, huh?

Yeah. I'll be here.

Excuse me. Do you
know Ester Kamali?

Better ask them.

- Those girls?
- Mm-hmm.

Thanks.

Hey, girls.
Sorry to interrupt.

Do you know where Ester is?

What's it to you?

I'm a family friend.

Got any money?

Extortion, huh?
That's great.

Where is she?

Her uncle gave us 50.

Her uncle?

Go to the left over there.

Go straight, yeah?

OK. Let's go
over there.

Find the girl, bring in Qassem,

and I'll meet you at the car.

Copy that.

These balloons are cute.

Mikey, eyes on Ester.

- Beat it kid.
- Damien?

- Sorry.
- Damien, what are you doing here?

You got to come with me.

No. What are you
doing here?

Ester, we got to go.

There's some guys
looking for you,

and they're not very nice.

Come on.
Just come on.

I'm fine. Get off me.

Ester!

- Wait, Ester.
- Hey, Qassem.

Hey!
Hey!

We missed you, Ester.

Hey!

What are you doing here?

Mikey, on me.

Qassem is here.

Can you get to him?

It's complicated.

I'm by that ride
with the octopus.

I found you.
We were worried.

Who's your friend?

He's fine.
He knows my dad.

- Your dad is waiting.
- Stop.

Let me take you to him.

Let's go.

Don't move!

He's a friend of my dad's.
It's fine, honestly.

Ester, ask him why he's here
with a bunch of killers.

To protect you.

I've known Ester all her life.

What's she to you,

an asset, someone to use?

Shut up.

Ester, that man is
no friend of your dad's.

Yeah. Where is my dad?

Come on, come on.
Let's go. Come on.

Hey! Don't fucking move.

Damien, what are you doing?

Ester, it's all right, it's OK.

What are you gonna do, huh?

You gonna shoot me here in
front of everybody, huh,

in front of her?

- I am unarmed.
- Bullshit.

You think I'd believe
any word you'd say?

- Come on, Ester.
- Don't touch her.

Ester, come here. Don't go to him.
Walk to me.

Your dad is waiting for you.

Your dad is waiting. Let me
take you to him. Come on.

- He's not.
- Come on. Come on.

- Ester, he's not.
- Your dad is waiting for you.

- Ester.
- Huh?

He's not.

What, you don't want
to see your dad?

- Don't listen to him.
- I want to see my dad.

OK. Let's go. Come on.
Ester, you can't see him.

Let's go. Your dad
is waiting for you.

- But why?
- Ester. Come on.

He just wants me to...
why can't I go see him?

Because he's dead, all right?

He shot him!
I saw him do it.

That's a lie.
He's lying to you.

- Ester.
- Ester.

Shut up!

Let's go to him now.
Come on, Ester.

You want to see your dad?

- Let's go and see him now.
- Shut up!

No!

Aah!

Move, move!

Down, down! Go!

Where are you, Mikey?
Ester's run off.

Seconds away.

Come on. Ha ha ha!
Huh?

Fuck!

Ester!

I got her, Mikey.

Grab a live one, let's
get out of here, huh?

Roger that.

I'll be in the car.

Is he really dead?

Ohh!

I'm sorry, Ester.

No.

Come here.

Move, move, move!

Get down! Stay there.

Careful with the girl.

Fuck.

Scheisse!

Cover me.

Fuck.

Move! Move!

Go.

Aagh!

I need to take this key.

Fuck!

The black Mercedes over there.

It's our car.

I want you to get in it,
I want to get on the floor,

and I want you to stay there.

What are you gonna do?

- Don't you worry about me, all right?
- OK.

On 3. Get ready to move.

- Ready?
- Yep.

1...

We're at the back.

2...

Ooh, you. You better have some
fucking good intel on you, mate.

3. Go!

Fuck!

Cut her off!

Fuck!

Sneaky little shit.

Come on, Damien!
Hurry!

She drives better than me.

Move!

Hurry up, bud.

You want me to drop this intel?

He's quite heavy.

And piss Locke off?
No, no, no.

Use your muscles.

At least I have some.
I'm coming to you.

Ester, get in the back!
Get in the back!

Come on, come on, Scott.

Fuck! Coming
to you, Mikey.

Come on.

Open the boot, open the boot!

Is that intel
alive, Mike?

Wake up, babe.
Wake up.

Shit!

He was alive!
Move, move, move!

Ugh!

Zero, we've
targeted Saleh.

Sending you visuals
and coordinates.

That's Reza Hassan,
Al-Zuhari's right-hand man.

We lost track of him
after Drezna.

Full house.

You all right?

Brought you that.

No, thanks.

How you doing, kid?

How do you think I'm doing?

I know you're hurting.

How do you know
what it feels like?

I'm a soldier, kid.

I know pain.

Yeah, but he was my dad.

I haven't told anyone
this before, Ester, but...

I'm a dad, too.

How would they feel
if it was you?

Honestly...

don't know.

Well, they must love you.

They don't know me.

Sorry.

It's not your fault, kid.

You're still a dad,
though, right?

That's all that matters.

Yeah. Not much
of one, huh?

Mine was hardly ever around.

There always seemed
to be something else.

You know, he was away a lot,

and... there was always
an excuse,

but whenever he was away,

there was a little part of me
that always knew he'd come back.

Yeah.

Come here.

He's not coming back.

He's gone.

Hey. How you doing?

We're up.

How is she?

Eh, she's a tough
little kid, you know?

Yeah.

And you?

I'm all right.

Just got to sort out
my fucking life.

I'll give you a second.

Thanks.

OK.

All right.
Maroun Saleh.

According to Valigny, he helped
fund the Drezna facility.

We track him down to an
Al-Zuhari training camp,

where he met our old
friend Reza Hassan.

If we can extract
these two alive... alive...

we have Al-Zhuari's
number two

and a track line to the virus.

Make sure Scott's
fully briefed, will you?

Roger that.

Mike has the intel.

Do you know the difference between
a dead man and a live man?

Yeah. Dead men
don't pay taxes.

Consider yourself briefed.

Unh!

Zero, Bravo One
and Two in position.

Ready to extract
on your command.

Hey, Bridgey.

- You good?
- Good.

Go.

Moving.

Ugh!

Shut up!

Oh, shit!

Aigh!

On me!

Hassan, Hassan,
get me out! Hassan!

Aah!

Ohh!

Zero, we got
eyes on Saleh.

Get him, Mikey, get him!

Ohh!

Get away! Hands!

Aah! AAh!

Not supposed
to shoot him, Mikey.

It's his leg.
He'll live!

Hands. Hands!

Don't fucking move,
or I'll shoot you.

Bravo One. We have
Hassan and Saleh.

We also have a safe.

We need
what's in there,

and bring me one of them alive.

Roger that.

Open the safe.
Open the safe.

You, get up!
Get up!

Open that safe.

Open the fucking
safe right now!

I'll do it, I'll do it.
Right now!

I'll do it.

Aah!

Come here!

Jesus Christ!

Mike, he's gonna bleed out.

Yeah.

Open the fucking safe
right now!

Go ahead.

I'm not afraid to die.

Come on.
Do it, do it!

Fucking beleivers.

Do it.

He's not gonna do it.
Just blow it.

Got him.

Get on your fucking knees! Ohh!

Fuck!

Come on!
Stay there.

Fuck, Mike. Come on.

Come on, bud.

20 more seconds.
I need 20 more seconds.

Come on. They're coming
through the door, Mike.

You stay there.

What are you doing,
fucking math? Blow it.

It's like a soufflé.
It takes time.

Ugh! Shit, Scott.

Come on, Mikey.

Stay there!

Good!
We're good?

Fire in the hole!

That fucking worked, Michael!

Yeah, that worked.
Did a great job on that one.

Shit, that's hot!
Fuck!

I think I've got
the important bits.

You better hope so.

Cover me.
Yeah.

What you got?
I got some hard drives.

Let's get the fuck out of here.

Got you.

Zero, Bravo One.
We're heading for exfil.

- Exfil immediate.
- Stand up!

Coming to you, Scott.

This is why we don't
shoot people in the leg.

Makes it hard for them
to walk, bud.

Yeah. Nag, nag, nag.

Fuck!

What do you got?

Got 4 or 5 of these guys.

I got eyes on Qassem, too.

Zero, we have
Hassan and the intel.

30 seconds.

Tell your men to stand down.

They'll kill me first.

Let's see. Walk, walk.

Back off! I'll put a bullet
in him, I swear to God!

See?

OK, OK.

You're a popular guy.

They're not gonna shoot you.

They love you.

Back, back, back, back!

Aah!

Fucking hell!
Holy shit!

Zero, we need
a hot extraction now!

30 seconds.

Fuck off!

We don't have 30 seconds!

Aah!

You all right?

Fucking kill all the
guys out there, Mikey.

Ohh!

Shit!

That's our fucking ride, mate.

You ready?

All right.

Drop the line.

I see the rope.
The rope's down.

Going.

Moving!

Aah!

On your two, Richmond.

Aah!

Come on!
Go!

Take the rope now!

Go, go, go, go!

You good?
Yeah.

Aah!

Aah!

Welcome back.

- Oi.
- Ha!

Oh, shit!

Hi, boss.

Ohh! Shit!

We're glad to see you guys.

What you got for me?

We got the mother lode, baby!

Yeah. Hee hee hee!

All right.

Oh, you're gonna love us.

Why is it burnt?

Ask demolition man here.

There. Computer stuff.

You went in
for Saleh.

Where is he?

He was killed by Hassan.

And where's Hassan?

He was killed by Qassem.

So, what, they all
just killed each other?

Yeah, pretty much.

Makes you wonder why we even
needed to be there, huh?

Next time, just
bring me a body,

preferably warm.

Yes, boss.

Good work.

Yeah.

I know what he's done.

Colonel...

Andersson uploaded false
identities to the NATO system.

This is the first
one that I found.

He has a complete NATO history
going back several months,

a clean skin.

How many more are there?

I don't know.

I've worked out the tag
Andersson used to mark them,

but the data's
too fire-damaged.

Heh heh heh.

So what's this guy's cover?

The system has him down
as Martin Novotny,

Sergeant First Class,

staff liaison officer for
the Czech delegation.

He's due to attend
the meeting tomorrow

for the NATO
military committee.

Where's the delegation
being held?

Frankfurt.

Where's Novotny now?

Czech delegation boarded an
overnight train yesterday.

ETA Frankfurt Central...

Fuck! 2 hours,
20 minutes.

That NATO meeting's the
perfect target for the virus.

Give the pilot
an intercept course.

Then contact NATO Command.

I want a full HAZMAT team
on standby.

Yes, sir.

Right. Listen up.

Novotny is our target.

You lot, you're gonna
catch a train.

_

_

Kein Problem.

You find Novotny
and you stop him.

Pull up a list
of the Czech delegates.

Find proof that at least one of them
is who they really claim to be.

Yes, sir.

Hands. Show me your hands,
show me your hands.

Sit up, hands up.
What is this?

Look at me, look at me.

- Don't fucking do that.
- Hands up, hands up.

Look at me.
I got him. Don't worry.

Don't be a hero.

Look at me.

Oi!

Who the hell are you people?

Ticket inspectors.

He's not here.

What is this?

She'll explain.

Yeah, right.
You go ahead.

I'll just deal
with the diplomacy.

Diplomacy's overrated anyway.

It's OK.
We're NATO forces.

Just here looking for somebody.

Get the fuck
out of the way! Get down!

Captain, I got to go.

Whoa!

Is she OK?

I'm hit,

and Novotny was not
alone on the train.

I took one out,
but there may be others.

Bravo 3, hang tight.
We'll get you out.

I've got it.
Major General Anton Palecek.

Get me through to him.

We've got eyes on target.

Fuck!
Motherfucker.

Zero, he's released
the virus in the carriage.

We got about 20 or 30
civilians in there.

He's got some friends
with him, too.

What the hell are you doing?

Motherfucker!
Fuck!

Hey! Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

Oi! Stop!

That carriage is
infected, all right?

My girlfriend is in there.

I have to go inside.

No, no, no, no!
Stay here.

You go in there,
you touch that door,

I shoot you, am I clear?

Yes.

Sorry, kid.

Let's go up and over.

I want to get out! Don't
panic, don't panic.

Listen to me.

They told me there
is a virus inside.

What?!

Nice work,
Spider-Man.

Screw, Spider-Man, dude.

Guy wears tights.

Sir, Palecek.

Genera Palecek, this is
Lieutenant Colonel Philip Locke,

British Special Forces.

As I'm sure you're aware,
we have an emergency.

A level 4 contagion
has been released.

Do not let anyone out
of that carriage.

I repeat. Do not let anyone
out of that carriage.

Sir.

It's stuck.

Listen to me, listen.

No one is to leave
this carriage,

and I will shoot
the first person who tries.

You have to unhook
the infected carriage.

5 minutes before it
reaches a populated area.

Do you copy?

Zero, we copy. We're
gonna blow the coupling.

We can't let it reach the city.

Roger that.

You want me to do it?

After the safe? I got
this one, I think.

All right. Well, there's
a first time for everything.

C4's in here.

Let's go. I'm gonna push
forward and find Novotny.

Don't blow yourself up.

Fuck!

Mike!

I'm all right!

Ugh!

Scott, grenade!

Mike!

Aah!

Bravo Two, Bravo Two!

He didn't blow the carriages.

Bravo One, we've
lost Bravo Two.

Shit!

You've got to stay on mission.

You have to stop
that train, Michael.

Roger that.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuck.

Alles OK?

Yeah. I'm all good,
kid.

That's a nice bike.

Hey, buddy boy!

Didn't you just die?

Ha ha!

Go stop the train!

I'm going after Novotny!

Zero...

Novotny's killed the driver
and disabled the brake.

One minute until
you hit the suburbs.

Bravo Two, whatever it takes,

stop the train.

Get out of the fucking truck!

Get out of the fucking truck!

Out! Now.

Fuck off!

Fuck.

Ohh!

Fucking give me a break!

Fuck! Honestly.

Shit!

Get off! Fuck!

Fucking pussy of a dog.

Mike?

What's it take
to kill you, huh?

Ha ha ha!

Grid reference
coordinates locked in.

HAZMAT team on their way.

Roger.

We've got a live one there!

He's not very alive, Mikey.

Oh, shit.

Boss ain't gonna like that.

Bravo One and Bravo Two here.

Uh, we stopped the train.

Novotny's dead. I repeat.
Our intel is dead.

What's going on?

They are coming
to help you, OK?

I'm sorry.

So that was your idea of how
to stop a train, was it?

We stopped it, didn't we?

Good job, Scott.

These people got any chance?

Only if we can find a cure.

So no.

You had me worried
for a second.

Yeah? Heh.

Now is this what you
have to do to get a day off?

Heh heh heh!

That was some stunt you
guys pulled back there.

Yeah. Thanks.

You take care
of yourself, yeah?

Yeah. You, too.

If I'm not gonna get a hug,

give me one of those
famous Limey handshakes.

See you soon.

In the name of Allah
the great and merciful,

you must cleanse yourselves
of your sins,

as he has promised us
that paradise awaits

those of you who lay down
your lives in this war,

fighting for our freedom
and what we believe.

Sir, a message
from Pirogova.

Ulyanov has left
his Dacha in Moscow.

He's on the move.

He's heading for Germany.

He's coming
for the boys, isn't he?

Tell Pirogova to stay with him.

Sir.

Did you see
the size of him?

He was a fucking sasquatch.

Now he threw you off the train.

Fuck you! Next time,
you fight the big guy.

Sore, huh? Good.

So what did you buy Ester?

I don't know, dude.

Some shitty German mags.

I did get her these.

- Ha ha ha!
- Huh?

She's gonna love those, mate.
They're brilliant.

You think?

I have no idea.

I don't know what
teenage girls like.

Neither do I.
Poor kid.

We're all she's got.

Scott...

the door.

- Yeah?
- Go.

Zero, safe house
has been breached.

- Going up.
- Yeah.

Ester?

Hands! Hands!

What the fuck?

Ester? Ester?

Damien?

Come here. Come on.

You all right?
Yeah.

Scott! Scott!

No. No, no, no. Don't.

Qassem, put that gun down.

Put that gun down.
No, Damien.

Put that fucking gun down!

Please, Damien.
No more killing!

He was never going to kill her.

What are you
talking about, Mikey?

Dad?
