Strike Back (2010–2018): Season 5, Episode 6 - Episode #5.6 - full transcript

Whitehall denies the existence of Scott and Stonebridge. Locke enlists the help of an old Russian friend to rescue his team. Li-Na uses Finn to coerce a confession.

...that when Mei has taken the vanadium,
and dispose of it

If you are captured, there's nothing we can do.
You're on your own.

I am to be your liaison, to facilitate your
transition back to life here.

To make sure that I haven't been infected
by my time in the west.

I think we found a way into the plant

If all goes according to plans, ETA for setting the charges,
would be 30 minutes or so

We lost Finn Michael, we think Li-Na's men took him

If you think Scott can handle it,
then you should tell him

Jesus

The chain reactions here, and here

You should've told me Michael



There's nothing you could've done to help

We're just gonna march up there,
and hand our ...

Both Washington and Whitehall has so far
refused to comment on the arrest...

Sgt. Scott

My name is Kwon Joon-Soo

I am from the State Security Department

I don't care who you are

I want to see my son

It is not often we have poeple sneaking into our country

We have those who sneak out,
defectors I believe you call them

Sometimes they bring with them terrible
tales of our nation

One person claimed she has been forced to drink water

Until her belly was swollen and aching

And when it was so bloated she might burst open



She claimed men stand down on her stomach

Now I have never heard, or seen
such thing in my life

If you help us

If we let you and your son free

I trust you will not return home with such lies either

Strike Back Legacy Ep.6 subtitle by c2lia

They will confess on camera

That this was an organised act of aggression
from the west

The westeners will prove to be a useful
negotiating tool

Bargaining tool?

They're much more than that

They're a cause, a reason to retaliate

There will be no retaliation

There has to be!

I meant no disrespect

You'll extract the confessions from the westeners

Yes sir

We began emergency protocol to
deny Scott and Stonebridge

...

...evidence they've been operating as mercenaries

...a rogue faction independent to
the government for some time now

...

Philip

You have my deepest sympathy

You really think it's worth risking a war with this?

You're just looking for excuse

These are my men!

We don't abandon them!

We don't have a choice

There will be no extraction

No exfil

Nothing

Damien

You seen Finn?

No

You?

No

I should've told you about Finn

Yeah

You should've

You're a fuckin' asshole you know it

That was a wrong call to make

Yeah it was

And for following me here

...

No

You would've done the same for me

Yeah

Yeah I would

Makes us both assholes huh?

Angles to tight to figure out exact location

However...

Sgt. Stonebridge

Might be nothing

It might be a deliberate gesture

Signee

So if it was?

Huh?

Would be an "E"

and a "4"

If that's what it is,
exfil point 4

That's a pretty big "if"

Whitehall made it clear they're on their own

We're under direct orders to stand down

This is gonna be my last mission with 20 sir

I must say I have no problem disobeying
direct orders

How's your russian?

Where's my son?

I'd like to say thank you for what you did

That's no problem at all mate

If you ever want was to fuck up any more
of your military operation just let us know

Please, Mei was only ever my stage name,
call me Li-Na

After all, we are all friends now

I don't bear you any ill will

You are acting under orders,
like good, loyal soldiers

Get to the fucking point

I'm not sure you like the point Sgt. Scott

Have you ever studied the history of torture?
It's fascinating

The Greeks, the Romans,
the glory of the middle-ages

A constant throughout history

The need to find new, inventive ways
to inflict pain upon one another

But do you know where the biggest
leap forward was made?

Yeah

When you decide to lecture us to death

Need to look

It was your own government

In the field

Vietnam

Iraq

Korea

Afghanistan

The breathtaking mix of technological innovation
and medieval brutality

But even then I suspect it could take days,
weeks to break you

So I asked myself,
what is your true weakness?

What would really hurt you?

This is between you and me

This has nothing to do with my son

It has everything to do with him

Finn!

Let him go

Let him go!

A statement

Declaring that your presence on North Korean soil
was a planned military aggressive move
from your government

An act of war

You really wanna take things that far?

Think about the ...

It's another worlds war

When it please your government?

Or is it war when there's
a profit margin inside?

This is simple choice

You speak, or he dies

Let him go

Let him go

This has nothing to do with him!

Let him go!

Captived men don't debate

They either agree, or not

Let him go!

He's a kid!

Don't fucking touch him

Don't fucking touch him!

Do you recognise him?

Perhaps we all look the same to you

He was a soldier you spared from
your escape from the trainyard

Killing your own people

It's the act of a true patriot

And where is your own country
in your hour of need?

He had a chance to stop you,
he failed

At least now he has played some part

Did you feel helpless thinking
you were watching your son die?

You shouldn't

You're not helpless

Because it is all up to you

The next time, I promise it will be real

I should've sent him home

You can't think about that right now

I had the chance Mikey

But I didn't

You know why?

Because I'm showing off

Showing my kid "look what your old man can do"

It might not appear how much

I carry a gun for a job

I fight terrorist

Transcend the world

How impressive

I should clear some space for my
"Father Of The Year" award

Yeah

Probably not much room on the shelf next year
for the "Whining Yank" award eh?

Heh

I've been called away

They want you report on me

You should tell them that you doubt my abilities

That my time in the west has spoiled me

No

They're looking for someone to blame Joon-Soo

This is a time to choose sides

And believe me, you do not want to be on mine

I can find a way to protect you

I look at you now, a career politician

A man who carefully chooses every word
in case it ...

The only person you can protect is yourself

You have no idea about me

I know I loved you

I know that every night I closed my eyes,
try to picture your face

In case I forget

I know you shouldn't keep them waiting

You said if I ever needed your help

He never call

Who?

Damien

"I'll call you"

But the phone,

it never rings

And that would justify leaving him in
North Korea to rot

To be beaten and tortured Nina

See?

This is why I like you

You think like a woman too

You have contacts on the Russian-Korean border

Access to vehicles, equipments...

Colonel, it took me years to build up those contacts

When I realised we'd need help,
you were the first name I thought of

When I decide to help you

Any one door we have to get in and out
of the country will be very small

We miss it

We finished

Let's go

Finn

Finn

Damien

It's gonna be ok

Don't believe your father Finn

It's not ok

None of this ..., the pain, the west
has inflicted upon this nation could ever
be described as "ok"

Shut up

I'm sorry

It'll be ok

I promise

Then you have until the count of three
to fulfill that promise

Put the gun down

One

Put the fucking gun down!

Two

Stop!

I'll say whatever you want

I mean it

I'll say whatever

Put it down, please

My name is Sgt. Damien Scott

Formerly with the 1st Special Forces

Operational Detachment

DELTA

Currently serving Section 20

A branch of the British Military Intelligence Service

We were ordered to covertly going to North Korea

With the intention of comitting terrorist attacks

Deliberately destabilizing the government

We acted with the full knowledge and consent
of both the British and the American government

We do not act alone

My name is Michael Stonebridge

Sgt. Michael Stonebridge

And I enjoy going to the cinema,
listening to musics, and long walks in the park

So if you're single and looking for some fun,
give me a call

I'm sure there's a number coming up
on your screen at home

Isn't that the sort of thing you're after?

Oh I'm sorry

North Korea that's right

You know what gets me?

You have this whole military first policy

Hundreds and thousands of people starving to death
but money being pumped into the armed forces

A million man army...a million?

And we just waltz in here and we just
fucked it up in a matter of hours.
I mean that's really rather embarrassing isn't it?

Perhaps you need me to start the
countdown from three?

Go ahead

He's not my kid, I don't care

I think you do care

Otherwise you wouldn't come here with him

That's my job

It's called being professional

But for you

For you this is personal isn't it?

This is a mean to an end

Yeah

Yeah you say that

But let's look at the fact shall we?

You must have been what...

13? 14? When they took you from your parents?
Your family

Never saw them again

They molded you, shaped you,
sent you away more than 20 years living a lie.

Someone elses name

Personality

A decade of that married

Sharing a bed with a man you didn't even love

All for the nation, for the cause

I mean the strength

The conviction you must've needed

And we just walked in here and ruined
all of it in a blink of an eye

Blew your cover, ruined your glorious homecoming

All that work

All those years, for nothing

So please, tell me that's not fucking personal!

I told ya

What did you say?

Come here

Come here

Give it to me

Come here

Let it go

On your knees

On your fucking knees!

Scott

...

After what she did to Finn

Julia

Yeah but it's a long walk between here and
anything that resembles safety

We're gonna need a hostage and the one that counts

Your fuckin' lucky

Now turn around

Turn around!

Scott, mate, take this

Here

You know how to use that?

No?

It's yours

Alright

Here

See that? That's the safety

You always keep that off

That's the real safety

Trigger finger

Alright?

Point that at the people that pissed you off,
and fucking shoot them

Come on. Forward

Let's go buddy. Come on

This way

Come here

Finn, stay there. It's good clear?
Clear

Going left?

Go

Oh shit

Jesus Christ

Right right right

Oh shit it's a maze

Come on Scott, come on

Come on

Let's go Finn

Got movement?

Clear

Go? Go left?

No, hold, hold it!

Stay with me

Finn come here

You got no choice

You got no choice

He's not dead

Move, move, go with Mikey

Hey, it's not your fault.
It's not your fault.

Boss gave us 72 hours to get to that exfil

Yeah? Which way we're going then?

I've got a good feeling it's that way out

Yeah?
Well there could be more soldiers

Let's go come on

Ok establish your perimeter

Treat anyone as a potential enemy

If we're seen, we're finished

Go!

Finn

Get in the car

Got it Mike?
Go go go!

Hang on.
We're gonna smash our way out of here.

Get out, get out.
Get out of the car!

Finn! Come on!

Move it, move it

Come here, stick with me

Get in the car

Fuck! Get in the car!

Go! Finn come on!
Go go!

Stay down!
Stay down!

... fucking hell

How you doing Finn?

Finn?

Fuck!

No, no!

Here, here!

Jesus Christ!

Mikey?
Yeah?

He's been hit!
How bad?

Not great

Jesus Christ

Here, put some pressure on that

You're gonna be fine

Mikey, get us to a hospital alright?
Yeah

It's pretty bad.
Yeah

Hold on!
I saw a sign back there!

You got him?

Is there a doctor here?

Hey

You a doctor?

You a doctor?

Yeah

Stop. He's been shot, alright?

He needs attention, immediately.
Please! Please!

This way

Tell them to empty their pockets of cellphones,
pagers, whatever

Move

Here. Make this very clear that if anyone tries to
signal outside it would be a very bad idea.

You don't need to keep that gun on us

He's my son

Yes

I had a son as well

No, no thanks.
Cause I'm not gonna kill ya

Fucks

What's going on out there Mike?
Backup's here

How you doing doc?

After all I can do but he will need proper medical attention.
We don't have the supplies here.

Is there another way out?

You want to save lives then help us get out.
Because if they send troops in it will be
a bloodbath and nobody wants that.

Mikey

What's gonna happen to you now?

Two army came to the hospital

And demand our assistance

Myself, and a nurse were the first go with them
but we refuse to help

All that remains is some physical evidence of
the struggle

No way

I'm not fucking doing that

Then they will know that I help you

You have to. Please...

You alright?
Yeah just go. Go, please.

Thanks. Sorry.
Go Mikey.

I heard about the execution order

And as you said

It is time to choose side

We gotta go

We wait

No, we can't wait.

I swear to God he ...
we've got a problem

We have lost too many people already

I mean it.
We stay to the very last second.

We give them every goddamn chance we can

Go!

Shit!

Ah shit!

What the fuck Mike?
Shit! It's dead!

You ok?

Mikey

The truck's fucked

How are we getting out of here?

Huh?

I have an idea but you are not gonna like it

Go, come on

Yah! Come on!
Come on!

Woah fucked!

Get them Scott!

Bring it down!

Come on!

Ah fuck!

Hang on Mike!

Hold on!

Hey, how you doing?

I'm alright

You've been out for a couple of days

It didn't take a while for your wheels
to start turning properly again

Finn...

I'm sorry for everything that happened

Forget it

I don't know anyone else's dad that could've done
what you did for me

Well...

It's the first time you call me dad

Makes me feel kinda old

You are old

Thanks

I think that all of these dads

Making promises to their kids they can't keep

Tell 'em they'll take 'em fishing on the weekend

Then they can't

Cause of work

You've gotta work

Yeah

When this is all done,

and I got the chance,
we are gonna do this properly

I love getting to know you Finn

And?

How is patient?

A little bit hot

You want me to bring you cold ...?

That would be great

Yeah thanks

Thanks

What is it?

This is goodbye

I'm shipping out

The D.E.A called me back

I've got an extra week or so to take Finn with me,
make sure he gets out ok this time

I'm getting sick of pulling your asses out of
the field anyway

Yeah fair enough

Kim...

It's Julia

I can't stop thinking

That I could've done something more to save her

You know it's not your fault right?

Yeah.
Yeah.

I did fuck it

Is there a reason you never try making
a move on me?

Because I'm a gentleman

And yeah

I knwo what happens when you get attached
to someone in this job

When you care about them

Here's to what could've been

Would've been brilliant

Here's to another life

So what's gonna happen now?

Huh?

Well I mean you went against orders
and came back to get us

Let me worry about that

That would be ...

What about you?

I'm alright

I guess

Just that keep seeing Finn laying in that
hospital bed

He's gonna wake up one day and realised

Wanted to see my dad and look what happen?
I got kidnapped, and tortured...

And you risk everyhting to get him back

That's what he will remember

Guys

You need to see this

It came from a colleague of mine

Dansky

She's embedded with the Russian mafia in Vienna

Shit

That's the guy who tortured me

Kwon Joon-Soo

According to Dansky, he's been putting out fillers

Getting some hired muscle, some assistance

Assistance with what?

They whispers about a high-level attack in Europe

Well, we bought the fight to North Korea

That would bring it back to us

Yeah but what she planning boss?

I'm not sure Michael.

But whatever it is,
she's only just started.
