Strike Back (2010–2018): Season 5, Episode 1 - Episode #5.1 - full transcript

A friend of Locke needs section 20's help when his daughter is kidnapped.

Hey.

I thought I'd lost you. Here? Cheers.

Where are we going? Beach
parties are OK for tourists.

I want you to see the real Thailand.

You see, that just sounds like a bad
excuse to get me alone.

Yeah, it is.

What's going on!

When I was young, my father used to
tell me there were very few

differences that cannot be settled
by a good honest chat across a table.

I look forward to proving him right.

I would like to personally
welcome General Ong Ji-Woo



and the North Korean delegation.

I would like to stress that
their satellite launches

and long range tests are just that...

I'm so sorry, if you would just
excuse me for a moment.

Malcolm, if you could just take
over for a second, thank you.

I'm terribly sorry, ladies and
gentlemen. In the meantime...

What is it? What's wrong?

'I have your daughter.
Any publicity, she's dead.

'Any police, she's dead. You don't
do exactly as we say, she's dead.'

'I'll be in touch.'

Daddy! No!

All quiet?

Hey, boss.

Bravo One, Bravo Two,



are you in position?

Affirmative. In position.

Philip, how can you be sure the boy
is telling us the truth?

I believe the kid.

Don't you?

You did the right thing coming to
me, Robin. We'll get her back.

Zero. Eyes on two targets.
Bravo Three, what's your position?

Coming to you. I'm nearly there.

Bravo Three at rear
of building and in position.

Bravo One, Bravo Two, stand by.
Bravo Three, now.

Copy that.

Shit, we've got to move.
Get the girl, get the girl.

Lock the door, get her out of here.

Come on!

Come here, blow the door.

Move.

Come here!

Clear. Let's go.
Scott, in here, in here!

Bravo, op's out,
exiting rear building.

Yeah, roger that.

Let's go.

Was that her? I don't know.

Come here, come here!

Boss, what do you want us to do?

Scott, go after that girl.
Copy that.

Bravo One,
check the rest of the building.

On me. Move!

Zero, you getting this?
I've got a room full of girls here.

Is Chloe there?

That's a negative. Negative, Chloe's
not here.

Bravo One, follow Bravo Two.
Go after that girl.

No, bollocks! I'm not leaving them.

Martinez, I need you in here. I need
you to come help. I'm coming to you.

Ah!

Argh!

Get in!

In here! Get the girls!

What the hell?

Zero, this is Bravo Two.
I'm in pursuit.

Martinez, move! Get out now!

I'm good, I'm good, I'm nearly
there. Follow her!

Shit!

Get off the bike. I need your bike.

Bravo One, the girls are clear.
Roger that.

Stay down!

Move! Get out of the way!

Out of the way!

Watch! Move!

What the fuck?

'Coming to you, Scott. Standby.'

He ain't got her.

Is he alive?

Shit!

'Bravo One and Two.
Send sit ref.'

Scott, they knew we we're coming.

'Zero, hostage is gone.'

'I repeat, the girl is gone.'

'Good afternoon ambassadors,
delegates

'and ladies and gentlemen
of the press.'

How the fuck did they know
we were coming?

We were supposed to be covert.

What? You think he'd risk
the life of his own daughter?

Only a handful of people even know
we're here.

Foster kept this quiet, I assure
you.

Well, not quiet enough. Someone
knew.

And we lost her because of it.

I've known Robin Foster for 20
years, Chloe since she was born.

That's why he called me first.

And I promised him that this team
would get her back alive.

So we'd better find a way of fixing
this.

Richmond, you got anything?

He's not on the Thai police system.
So we've got nothing?

Well, maybe not nothing.

There's a mate of mine here,
he's ex-military intelligence.

He's got a bar that fronts for a
safe house for any freelancers

who are passing through.

He runs in dodgy circles

and there's a chance that he could
put a name to this face. Good.

I'll talk to Foster.

Get out there,
find out who this mystery man is.

Right now,
he's our only link to Chloe.

Ambassador Foster has an outstanding
reputation in peace negotiations,

having served as the UK
representative

in the international conference on
the former Yugoslavia...

We just made things worse.

No, we were close. The intel was
good.

You made the right choice.
How can you say that? Mei.

No, it's Chloe we're
talking about. Mei, I know.

I understand, but involving Section
20 has put Chloe's life in danger.

Do you remember that first time
we met, Robin?

Rwanda.

You walk into a warlord's
camp unarmed, unprepared.

And you negotiate the release of me
and my men.

You held your nerve like
no-one I'd ever seen.

Yeah, well, I was different then.

I didn't have Chloe.

If you think we should keep
going down this path, Phillip,

then we keep going down this path.

Sir, the North Korean
delegation is waiting.

Shall I have the Deputy Ambassador
meet them? No.

We'll wait here.

It's taken me
years to bring them to the table.

What would I do without you?

He looks up to you.

Always has.

Losing his first wife almost
broke him, but to lose Chloe too...

Mei, we have a lead.

And right now my boys are going to
talk to someone who can help us.

We'll get Chloe back,

I promise you.

What we have to realise is
that it's up to us

to help North Korea break
out of this cycle of agreeing to

and then terminating conferences
about its nuclear weapons programme.

Clearly, they cannot be allowed to
carry on selling their nuclear

technology to countries
like Iran, Syria, Pakistan.

These talks are absolutely crucial
in not only bringing both sides together,

but also increasing their standing
in the international community.

Gentlemen, ladies. Since we have an
awful lot of ground to cover

in a very short space of time,
might I suggest we get started?

Here, here, here, here.

Here. Thank you.

We have 48 hours to realistically get
this girl back alive.

Hopefully Garland can help. I hear
you.

You don't
snatch the ambassador's daughter

unless you've got your eyes
on the bigger prize.

Revenge? Ransom?

Let's let the boss worry about that

and you and I focus on finding that
girl.

This is it. 'Bang Bang Club?' Yeah.

Subtle.

I like it.

Oi! Private Garland. Need a hand?

Sgt Stonebridge. Come here. It's
good to see you, mate.

You too. Great place you got here.

Nah, it's a shithole.

Right infested bar.
Full of ladyboys.

But you know, the best
I could get for the price

the British government
put on an arm.

Want a beer?

Yeah, go on. Thanks.

Need I remind
you, this is about business.

Yes, boss. This character here,
he's part of a local gang.

He's done a high-profile snatch and
grab and we need to find him fast.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I know him. Aaron,
muscle for his cousin, Ray McQueen.

Ray McQueen? Any ideas where to find
that guy?

I'll make some calls.

Oh, he's kicking.

Hey, my boy's going to be a muay thai
champion, I know it.

She might be.

Beautiful like her ma.

And tough like her dad.

Everything you need.

I'm not looking.
I haven't seen any of your faces.

That's OK, Chloe, that doesn't
matter. You can look at me now.

What are you going to do?

Do you live with your dad? What?

Do you live with your dad?

No, I go to college in England.

I was just visiting him. So you live
with your mother in Britain?

No, my mum died when I was 10.

That's awful, I'm sorry about that.

You know, I lost my folks when
I was a kid as well

and it can affect you
really badly that.

Not having your proper family around.

And I know when I have my little
ba-ba,

I'm going to make sure I'm there
100%.

I've got to say though,
all things considered,

I don't think I turned out that
badly, really.

Got to be strong now, Chloe. Nice and
strong for your dad.

Please don't.

Please don't hurt me. Please,
please don't.

Please no! No!

Please don't hurt me! Ah!

Haven't you got beautiful eyes?

You should probably close them.

This is going to hurt.

You know, I hope my little girl
grows up to be nice

and strong like you.

This with your fault. Your
men, your tactics.

Robin, listen to me. He listened
and this is what happened.

You promised that Chloe would be
safe. You should leave.

No.

We can't leave.

My daughter's finger is in a fucking
box because of you, Philip.

So don't you...

Don't you dare tell me you can't
leave. This is my fucking embassy.

You're here on my invitation only.
I'm sorry, Robin, you misunderstand.

It's not that we can't leave,
it's that we won't.

You said yourself these
people should be making demands.

They should be asking for money,
something.

So whatever is going on here,
it's about a lot more than Chloe.

And you know it.

Martinez. Get up on Foster's phone,
e-mail, everything.

I want to know who he's contacting,
who's talking to him. Roger that.

I thought you two were buddies?
Isn't that why we're here?

Well, McQueen's people just delivered
one of his daughter's fingers to him.

Have they made demands yet? Not yet.

Then why take the daughter
and do nothing? It's not nothing.

They're just waiting. They're gaining
leverage until he'll do anything they want.

I'm sure it's linked to his talks
with the North Koreans.

You got a location for McQueen? Yeah,
that mate of mine came through.

He said Ray does a money
pick-up at a nightclub that he owns.

Richmond, if you could put a tracker
on him, it might lead us to Chloe. Sure.

Good. Clock's ticking. Let's get her
back.

You couldn't phone?

What do you want?

The fight at the floating market has
caused our friends concern.

You think I'm sitting on a bed of
fucking roses?

Nobody told me about any soldiers
rocking up and killing my crew.

They said this was going to be
a simple bit of work -

take the girl
and Foster would roll over.

No-one expected him
to call these people.

Yeah, well, maybe
they should have done their homework

before they asked me to take the
girl.

Would you like to call them
and discuss it?

I thought not.

Insure Foster takes this to the
right place at the right time.

You know, I don't know what you're
on, but I'm not getting

anywhere near enough for this shit.

Money shouldn't be your primary
concern, Ray.

With the baby on the way.
How long now?

"Fuck you", is how long.

Fatherhood is a blessing.

It will change you forever.

But these final few weeks are a
dangerous time for mother and child.

You threaten me again...

Threaten me again.

You got anything, Mike? No, not yet.

Zero, this is Bravo Team.

Still no eyes on McQueen. Copy that.

Patching you into the club CCTV.

Got it.

Good signal. Standing by.

Copy that.

Heads up, guys.

Everything OK? Make sure Foster gets
this. Yeah, all right.

Let me know when he's got it, yeah?
Yeah. Hey, it's important.

It's done.

Boys. Boss.

Zero, this is Bravo Team. Target is
entering the building.

Copy that.

Bravo Three, move in.

Got it.

Like what you see?

You know I do.

Can't wait to debrief you later.

Hmm.

What? Oh, come on, he knows.

You know, don't you, Mikey?

What? You two? Since when?

You two are wankers.

And I'll talk to you later.

Oh, I look forward to it.

He's an A-class asshole, all right?

So be careful. I'll be fine.

Go get 'em.

Fuck, she's hot.

Should I go in with
her? No, we've been made, remember?

If we go in, we blow it. Yeah,
but, Mike...

Oi, she's been a soldier longer than
she's been your girlfriend. Yeah.

She knows what she's doing.

Zero, eyes on target. Moving in.

Catch you later, babe.

Sorry, sorry. It's all right.

Hey, can I get you a drink?

I'm good, thanks. You sure?

Yeah.

Shit!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

'McQueen has taken Bravo Three to
a private booth on the main floor.'

Boss, boss! What?
Problem in the club. Boss!

Hey, you all right? I'm OK.

Damien, I'm OK. Go!

Yes, boss.

Oi, McQueen!

Tell me where the girl is.
Where is she?

Where's the...

You met me cousin? Whoo-hoo!

He's a fucking lunatic.

Killed a man once in the Octagon.
Finish him off, son.

Hurry up, we've got things to do.

Get in! Come on!

Come on, mate! Come on!

Ah, shit! Go, go, go!

I thought you're were good at
fighting? Guess I'm rusty.

Don't worry, I'll get him next time.
Yeah, get in line, he's mine.

Richmond, tell me you put the
tracker on him? Yeah, I did.

Zero, have you got him?

OK, he's two blocks north-west of
you.

Hang a left at the end
of the street.

Bravo Three, stay on course.

Target is two clicks north of you.

Where the hell is Foster going?

Why are you calling this number?
Lee, listen. It's done.

I'm going to cut this little
bitch up and I'm going to dump her.

You do not make decisions, Ray.
You follow orders.

I've got soldiers all over me.

They've come to the fucking club
tonight.

You follow orders because you know
you are small, insignificant.

That your wife and unborn child only
remain alive because we say so.

Keep the girl alive until we are
done.

After that, kill her, sell her,
it does not matter.

What does matter is that Foster
delivers the package.

Hey, you!

Mr Foster.

Zero, have you got him? Still no
visual on McQueen.

Bravo team,
the target is right ahead of you.

You're going to lose him, you want
me to drive?

Look, unless you can make this thing
fly, you won't do any better.

Shit.

Don't you fuck me about, OK?

That's him, that's him right there.

He's got Chloe with him. Go, go, go!

We got eyes on the girl.

Walk!

Hey!

Move!

Go, go, go! Go!

Move! Move!

Oh, my God.

Move! Move! Get out the way!

Hello. Dad?

Oh, Chloe, Chloe...

Dad, I think they're trying to...

Shut up.

Those are the last words you're
going to hear from your daughter

unless you do exactly what I say

and you deliver that package to the
North Koreans, you understand?

The North Koreans?

You want me to bomb my own embassy?

Clocks ticking, Ambassador. Dad!

Fuck.

Robin? What are you doing?

Is she safe? We have eyes on, Robin.

Is she safe?

We're close.
What have you got in the bag, Robin?

You've got 13 minutes to rescue
Chloe, Philip. After that...

Robin, wait!

Martinez, tell Scott and Stonebridge
they have exactly 13 minutes

to get the girl back.

Copy that,
I've got 13 minutes on the clock.

Not a second more.

Bobby. Bobby!

Two white guys are coming in here.

I don't want them getting out alive,
do you understand? Yes, boss.

OK, it looks like McQueen has taken
her to the Kong Twai Markets.

Is that bad? It's a gang stronghold.
Cops won't even touch it.

Oh, brilliant.

Heading there now.
Zero, guide me in. Copy that.

'All right, he's 100 yards
south-west of you. Hang a left.'

'You've got 10 minutes.'

Wow.

100 yards in 10 minutes?

It's nothing.

Through there? Yeah.

If life was easy, bud, anyone
could do it.

I'll tell you what, let's go get that
girl back, huh? You and me.

Walk in the fucking park, dude.

'McQueen is 100 metres to your south
southeast.'

Get inside, get inside.

Robin!

Robin!

Robin!

Robin!

Sergeant. Sir!

Stop this man, he's a security risk.

Shoot him if you have to.
Listen to me very carefully.

It's the ambassador who's
the security risk. Do not let him in.

Hands in the air. Down on your
knees.

Robin, my boys are close.

Argh!

I'm Lieutenant Colonel Philip Locke.
I know who you are, sir.

Now keep your hands where I can
see them and get down on your knees.

OK. I need some backup.

We've got six minutes.

Fucker.

What the fuck happened? You were
supposed to keep them in the club.

There was a bit of a situation.
Bit of a fucking situation?

Go and sort it now.

I'll fucking sort this, all right?
Come on.

We're pinned down here, mate. We've
got to move.

Hang on.

Fuck you.

Scott, move, move, move!

Move, Scott, move!

Follow me! On me!

Right door, yeah?

Martinez, which way?

McQueen is 100 yards
to your south southeast.

It's a fucking maze in here.
Both go Southeast. Fuck sake.

All right, Mike, which way? I'm going
to go that way. I'm going that way.

See you there.

He's just ahead of
you guys. You've got five minutes.

Scott, he's 30 yards ahead of you,
make a right.

Get down, get down, stay there.

Fucking you again.

Bravo One, come in. Mike, you there?

Sorry, sorry.

Martinez, which way?
Not that direction, turn around.

Really? Turn around where?

Hang left. Here? You've got three
minutes.

You kill a man in the Octagon, eh?

You're not in the fucking
Octagon any more.

Fucking come and get it then.

Scott, 25 yards, then right.

Fuck, it's a dead-end.

Jesus!

Martinez, and do you have eyes on?

OK, I've got Foster, he's heading
for the North Korean break-out room.

I need to see the General
urgently. Robin. Stop right there.

Whoa, whoa. Robin. Put your hands up.
I am begging you, do not do this.

Don't fucking move!

Tell me you wouldn't give everything
to have your son alive again now.

Believe me, I am not the threat here.

Robin, for God's sake!

General Ong Ji-Woo.

OK, guys, you've got two minutes.

I have dedicated my life to peace.

Please.

Tried to find ways to...

bring people together, to find
ways of saving lives

and avoiding conflict.

I've shown humility before cruel
and brutal men

because I believe that violence
is not the answer.

'30 seconds, guys.'

Violence can never solve
the differences we have.

Violence cannot win the peace.

10 yards ahead of you.

I believe all these things, General,

but what I know is that none of this
means anything...

without my daughter.

You're right on top of them.
Straight ahead.

He's right in front of you.
This is nothing personal.

You're just a loose end that I've got
to tidy up, that's all.

'That's the building, he's there.'

'Five metres.'

'You must be right on him.'

I am so sorry.

Scott? In here, Mikey.

It's OK. Get her back to her father.
Zero, we have the girl.

I repeat, we have Chloe. 'Copy
that.'

'Colonel, they have the girl,
they have the girl.'

Chloe's safe!

Robin, Chloe's safe!

10, 9...

Ray, drop the gun.
