We Are Who We Are (2020): Season 1, Episode 7 - Right Here Right Now VII - full transcript

- ...United people...
- ...for Hillary Clinton...

...leadership and vision
will make America...

A complete earthquake...

Copy this.

We have the satellite.

At ease.

Good evening, Colonel.

Major Kritchevsky.

Less than 30 minutes ago.
We're starting at 12 hours from then.

Was a powerful explosion
caused by an IED,

- it's still under investigation.
- We need the flags now.



So wake him up.

Pull up their personal records.

I want the exact position
of the convoy. Now.

The helicopter with soldiers
who survived the blast is headed for Herat.

- None are seriously injured.
- The position of the convoy!

Waiting on a reply, sir.

Copy that, we have the visuals.

Go to my house and ask my wife
for my dress uniform.

OK, let's proceed.

Jonathan.

What happened?

I apologize for waking you,
but I need Sarah's uniform.

Come in. I'll get it right away.

What are you doing here?



Go back to sleep.

Why did you have to drive down that road?

Can we have more information?

We're all soldiers here.

Sargent Cummings informed us
that the area is scheduled to be bombed.

Do you wish to pray together first, Ma'am?

We'll pray later.

Salute.

And down.

- Why is everybody running?
- I don't know.

But you're not supposed to run.

Jonathan's just ridiculous here,
isn't he?

It made me laugh the first time
you showed it to me,

but not that much.

Yeah, he's not at his best here.

Matthew! That's original.

But you might want to define more the edge.

- I need the scissors.
- It still looks unfinished.

I've been making
these fucking centrepieces for ten years.

Ten years of sheer ugliness.

It's Thanksgiving.

"My thanksgiving is perpetual..."

- What the fuck does that mean?
- It's Thoreau.

You would know that if you studied more
instead of hunting birds in the swamps.

You could do a better job.

Later, I'm gonna go see Dr Harris
with your mom.

- You sure you still wanna go?
- Mmm-mm.

What if your father finds out?

He grounded you for a month over
a haircut...

My dad won't find out.

But you'll get a weird voice...

"Hey dad,
lemme borrow your shaving cream?"

Your mom said
it's just a medical consultation.

But my mom has nothing to do with us.
Only we have anything to do with us.

- And the hormones will give you cancer.
- Morning, ma'am.

Good morning.

Why are they here?

- Fuck, what a pain!
- What? Who is it?

It's Sam. He's been calling me all morning.

That boy is so tenacious.

I kinda feel sorry for him.

- Stay strong in front of the kids.
- OK.

You can do it.

- Do you know what's going on?
- Just a minute.

What do you think went wrong?

What happened? What did they say?

How's Jo look in this?

- Did you hear what they said?
- Not really.

We have to go to the gym, students.

The principal has an announcement to make.

Come on.

- What do I do with my artwork?
- Leave it, no one will steal it!

- My jacket.
- The gym's right outside.

It's freezing in the gym!

Come on in, my friends,
and have a seat, please.

Gather round me, come on in and have a seat.

What's been happening?

Come on in, my friends,
have a seat, gather round me.

As you know, we recently deployed a group
of soldiers to Afghanistan

and three of our soldiers
were killed last night.

Among them, among them was the brother
of one of your classmates.

Listen, class is cancelled
for the rest of the day.

You'll be separated into groups
to talk about your feelings with teachers

and with the grief counsellors
who are here with me.

But first, I'd like you to join with me
in a brief moment of prayer.

- It's Britney.
- Oh, my God!

Our convoy struck a roadside bomb
while evacuating citizens towards Shindand.

The robot failed to detect the IED
and the engineers failed to clear the road.

That's all the information we have.

The investigation is under way.

Our soldiers were trained and ready,

no amount of training could've
prevented this.

We're gonna hold a proper memorial
for these soldiers.

That's all for now. Thank you.

Anyone up for it?

They're right to torture those guys,
when they catch them!

- What, what are you talking about?
- Oh, she's right!

So you're saying we should torture anyone
who disagrees with our country?

They blew up our soldiers!
They burned them alive!

We invaded their country.

You know,
sometimes the bodies are so charred

and mutilated
that it's impossible to identify them.

And, uh...

so they just put the body parts...

in these body bags randomly.

And if they don't have enough remains

they fill the body bag with rocks.

So, soldiers' coffins are
just full of rocks.

You don't want it?

Why would you say that?

Say what?

About the bodies in the bag.

It's the truth.

So is everything gonna change now?

He was a soldier.

He was a soldier.

Wow.

No.

No? You mean, I can't touch your hands here?

No.

Not today.

Today I can't touch your hands...

He ate at my house a million times.

He loved the way I cooked.

"Can I have seconds, Mrs. Jenny?"

"Mmm, that's delicious, Mrs. Jenny."

I can't stop thinking about him.

He was Danny's best friend,
more than a friend.

Danny!

Danny!

We got distracted from these kids...

We should never let ourselves
get distracted.

We should ne...

Never take our eyes off them. Never.

You do things, there are consequences.

What you're saying makes no sense.

Craig was in Afghanistan.

No.

What you're saying makes no sense.

If someone hadn't been distracted, then...

he wouldn't have been there
in the first place.

And Danny... if I had been paying
closer attention, then things...

Was it me who distracted you?

It doesn't matter.

I'm a mother,
I have certain responsibilities.

I've never seen you fall short
of your responsibilities.

If you had children, you would understand.

Maggie...

I didn't mean...

We never really thought this would last,
did we?

But I hope that you, at least,
for a moment hoped,

the way I did.

Oh, Jenny.

Stop it!

What?

Now what's that you just said, Brit?

I can't hear you.

Man, fuck this shit.

Sam.

I can't hear you!

I can't hear you!

I can't hear you!

Ladies and gentlemen,
please rise for the base commander

and remain standing for the national anthem.

Please take your seats.

We dream of peace...

We all do.

We dream of being able to sleep soundly
in our beds at night.

But there are those who have to pay
a price for our tranquillity.

And who else, if not our men and women?

We know who pays for her tranquillity.

Staff Sergeant Alvaro Sanchez,

Drew Sollont,

Corporal Craig Pratchett.

They paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Alvaro, Drew, Craig.

We'll never forget these names.

To me they were heroes.

Because every soldier
who serves his country in combat is one.

- Come on! She doesn't know what a hero is!
- Hey!

- So, we thank you.
- A fucking IED, for Christ sakes!

- They never got a chance to fight...
- Thank you, Alvaro...

Drew...

thank you, Craig.

We thank your loved ones.

Your sacrifice will not be in vain.

Please rise.

Come on, let's go.

- No. Why?
- Come on, let's just go.

Excuse me. Cate.

Sorry, I didn't forget, OK?

Ma'am,

don't we have any music we can dance to?

Hey! Let's do a little dancing here!

Ma'am, Alvaro was a jive dancer...

I trained him...

Not all that well, as you know...

Stevens, Rodriquez,
why don't you take him home?

But you made the decision.

Right?

Right?

Music!

- Music!
- Hey, Rich, man. Oh, whoa!

- Calm down. Right now.
- Come on! They were kids!

- Come on.
- Let's dance for the kids!

- Hey, whoa!
- What?

Hey! Calm down

- What?
- Come on, man.

- Huh? Huh?
- Hey! Come on, stop. Calm down.

Let's go outside, get some fresh air.

- Get the fuck off me!
- Rich, come on.

Hey! Rich, don't do this, man.

Don't do this!

Sleep peacefully at night...

Peacefully...

At night.

Wait, wait, wait, where are we going?

Hold on.

Come on, let's catch up with the others.

Why? What do they have to do with us?

Hey!

Hey, we're coming with you!

- Go home, Cate.
- Not him.

Why not?

It was his mother who got Craig killed.

Sam! You know that's not true!

He's not coming with us.
He was never one of us.

Come on!

Go.

- Fraser, I can't...
- No, it's OK.

Sam's right. Go.

Colonel.

Is it true what Poythress said?

What?

Did you take their 90 days away?

All the men were ready.

That wasn't your call, Sarah.

Have you been watching the news, Martin?

The people want a leader
who can make tough decisions.

Enrico!

Come on.

I don't like this place.

We gotta stay together. Come on.

No.

I do.

Do you have any K?

Just a little.

Oh, Sam, no...

You want some?

When I...

meet you guys and...

Craig with Valentina,

I was super happy.

J...

I think that with you I get out of this...

Shithole town.

Yeah. Shithole.

But...

now I see that...

there is nothing.

Nothing.

No, no, no, Valentina!

What? What?

Well...

Now, I guess, we all belong to that asshole.

I don't know.

"Take A Step Back" CONTINUES

Vale...

Vale!

Do you know where I can find
Jonathan Kritchevsky?

Apartment nine.

- OK, thanks.
- Hmm-mm.

Apartment nine.

- Fraser.
- Hey!

Uh, I finished The Kindly Ones,
I thought you should know.

Um, Max Our...

- Aue.
- Aue.

Yeah, I thought you should know,
I like it, a lot.

I think I like it. I don't know
if I like the fact that I like it, but...

But OK, I like it.

J? Who is it?

Fraser...

It's Fraser, don't be rude, invite him in...

Come, come here, sweetie.

- You want something to drink?
- No. Uh, yeah, water.

Water?

You drink water?

Come in.

Here's the water.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You out there all alone?

He seems lost.

He always seems lost. Isn't that true?

It's been a strange day.
Jonathan is so sad...

I know you're a great dancer...

Let me get him. Let me... Come on.

- No, it's alright. I got him.
- I'm so sorry, you'll get all wet.

- I am so, so sorry.
- Here we go.

I don't know what got into him.

He's never like that.
Thank you, thank you so much.

- Oh, please, don't mention it.
- I am so sorry.

- I understand.
- I've got the keys here. Hang on.

- I had them here.
- I got him.

- Here!
- Where do I put him?

- On the sofa.
- OK.

- Wouldn't the bed be a little bit better?
- The sofa will be fine.

OK, I'll get him down.

Hang on. I got him. OK, sir. There you go.

There you go.

Thanks.

You should try
to get a couple of aspirin into him. OK?

- Thank you.
- Alright.

Have a good night.

Where's Cate?

Shh-shh.

Don't worry about that, now.

I've never stopped loving you, Jenny.

Sleep.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart?

You send people to their deaths, Colonel.

- Sarah.
- No. What about my dad?

Did you send him?
Did you send my dad to death?

Fraser.

Why don't you ever tell me
anything about him?

Maggie, why don't you ever tell me anything?

Did you ever meet him?

There's not a lot to tell.
I don't want you to get attached to a ghost.

I only saw him once.

- He was working on an aeroplane.
- He was a pilot?

He's a mechanic.

- Did you fuck him?
- Who?

Fraser.

Craig used to say
you guys are like soulmates.

I can't love anyone else.

Oh!

Oh!

Why now?

You in there?

Or here?

What about here?

I'm gonna kill you then!

- I'll fucking kill you!
- Brit! Brit!

Let's check out together
and fucking die.

Let's go together,
we're gonna fucking die together!

What are you doing?

Danny, stop!

Danny, please stop!
Danny, what are you doing? Stop!

- No!
- Please, Danny, stop!

Get up, get up, everybody get up!

Craig has turned into a giant spider!
He's right next to you, Vale!

- Shh!
- Danny! Danny!

Danny, relax! Relax. Relax, please.

No! Get off him! Get out, Craig, get out!

- Danny!
- Get out!

- Danny, stop. Danny, please stop!
- It's OK!

Please! Is he dead?

- Is he dead?
- Shh! Shh!

He's dead. He's dead, baby.
He's dead. He's dead.

Did I kill him?

Please! Please! It's OK, it's OK.

I didn't mean to.

It's OK.

Hello?

Where are you?

Cate, where are you?

OK, Cate, stay there, stay there.

I'll be right there. Be right there.

Cate!

We're here. How are you feeling? Danny?

- How are you feeling?
- You OK? What did he take?

- Look at me.
- Get in the car.

- OK, on your feet, Danny.
- That's it. One step.

- Come on.
- Come on. We've got you.

OK, one step. OK? Go in.

- Everything alright, Madam?
- Yep.

- Thanks. Have a good night.
- You, too.

Check south gate 2-9.

Get inside!

Go home.

Move!

Thank you.

Hope your husband is feeling better?

I'm sorry about the things
he said earlier this evening.

He just lost control.
Richard really loved those troops.

Well, I hope you'll get a chance
to spend some time together.

In moments like these
we need to strengthen our families.

Goodnight, Jennifer.

I want it over between the two of you.

It's already over.

Thanks.

What if we get a nice place in town?

Like one of those Baroque palazzos.

You miss your fancy childhood?

I miss having you all for myself.

You can't leave the commander's house.

Richard is the one who has to go.

He showed his ass tonight.

Everyone knows he's black-marketing fuel.

He started that fight in town.

And his daughter is no good for Fraser.

Remember my friend Doug from Yale?

He's in charge of assignments now.

Call him.

It wasn't like the other times, was it?

It was nothing.

Come here.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.

Allahu Akbar.
