Sparrow party, halt!

Inward, turn!

Take the strain.

Up.

Lower.

Lower.

Lower.

Lower.

Lower.

Bearer party.

Slow. March.

Heavenly Father, you have created us and love us.

We commit to your mercy, knowing that you will do what is right for him.

We give his body to be buried, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

To you be glory forever.

Amen.

I know he'd have wanted you to have this.

He was so proud of being a soldier, so proud of being in the SAS.

I'm sure you were very proud of him too, Mum.

I would have been proud of him whatever he'd done. I would have been proud of

him being a bloody milkman.

Mostly.

I was just scared for him.

Ever since the first day he joined us.

I don't want this.

No offence, but...

He can have it.

It meant more to him anyway.

Maybe more than his family.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Mrs Dwyer.

You're not going to start marming me as well, are you?

No. No.

I'm Staff Sergeant Garth. Are you?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

I'm not as familiar with death as you are.

I don't know how to do this.

Ed was a great lad and a good soldier.

You're Henno, aren't you?

Yes.

Ed said he was the only one he was really frightened of.

Well, he always had a good sense of humour.

No, he didn't. Not about that.

He never, ever liked you.

I'm so... I don't know how to behave with... with

all this.

So what does she say?

It was private.

Right.

It's mount up. Get out of here.

Get the beers in.

So, what did Ed's mum say?

Nothing important.

So, what did she say?

Becca, it's personal.

Take the hint.

What's your problem?

You're more murderous than usual.

It says wake, Dave.

I mean, come on, mate. Who are you expecting? Johnny Bloody Chuckles? I

who's waking easily, and I'm choked too.

But it's not like any of us is to blame.

Well, it isn't.

Look, guys, if you want to be sad, fine. Be sad. I'm sad.

But there's no point being guilty.

It's one of them things.

You know what, Dave?

When I need you to start handing out forgiveness, then I'll really know I'm

screwed. Good.

I can live with that.

Edgar McKinney.

Oi.

That's a low blow.

Well, who died in an elected day, bloody Padre? You know what, Lewis? Do you

know what I really would like to know? I don't give a monkey.

Not because you are the bloody monkey, so why don't you sod off and let the

organ grinder here fight his own battles, eh?

What's up with her?

Lewis Wright.

If you're not philosophical about it, you shouldn't be here.

Steady. What was he saying?

Easy come, easy go? That is not what I'm saying. Ed was one of us.

And if you're not bothered about it, you've got a nerve turning up at the

That's all I'm saying.

No, no, no.

Let me get the drinks in.

What? Come on, no drama.

Fuck in your cages.

Louie, what can I get you?

You! Let go of me, you idiot!

You asked for it.

Louie?

Get off of him!

Wouldn't you be stopping that, Henno?

What happened here?

Dave!

Stop it! Sit up!

Sit up!

Good morning, restroom!

Rise and shine!

Thumbs up!

Doors, chorus!

Sparrows, farted!

And I thought you'd all like to join me on a...

What's your problem?

That would be, what's your problem, sir?

All right.

What's your problem, sir? My problem, Staff Sergeant, is that I've been given

command of this troop that can't obey orders, hold its drink, or stop fighting

itself. And I thought I ran Red Troop.

Not anymore.

Stop!

Long time coming, Henry.

Oh, God.

You can't run this bloody unit like a maverick anymore.

Time for a new broom.

Captain Fleming is it.

Can I have a word, sir? I don't want to hear it. Not interested.

Sorry. When you're outside, full runner kit now in two minutes.

Well, you heard the man.

You all right?

It's down as a pound.

We should be able to run the legs off this Rupert.

Yeah, how about with a handle that was done on an elephant?

Come again?

I'm not saying that your eyes look like a coat with eggs on acid.

Yeah, well... least my match.

Fighting fit?

Let's see if there's any use left in you, or whether it's time to return you

to your units.

You joking?

Shouldn't think so. I haven't got a sense of humor.

Speed off, Sergeant.

I'll try and keep up.

Good to see you.

See you.

Go. Oh, you ready for the picnic tomorrow? Yes, indeed, Mr. Ambassador.

On a day off, you call me William, and I'll promise not to call you Mr. Trade

Attacher. Now, you know, Jason Parnell, this is Taurus Rostrum.

He'll be our escort tomorrow.

Local security.

Your Bacardi is impeccable.

Oh, don't forget, we've got a run to do for her.

If that bet stood on. Always happy to run, bet or no bet.

Now, early to bed tonight, girls.

Big day tomorrow.

Please. Now, we'll get your luggage sent in later. Thank you.

This is a nightmare.

In your own time.

This is yesterday's dinner.

Sergeant,

take it easy. No one's anything any the less of you.

I'm fine.

Seriously, take it easy. It's not a speed trial.

Sergeant, stop!

That's an order! This is going to get ugly.

Lee, what are we going to do about this, Rupert?

Nothing.

Nothing? Don't need to.

You see the way Heno looked at him?

Fleming's got the life expectancy of a jammed boner at a Weight Watchers

convention. Heno will sort it out.

Excuse me.

It's no big deal.

I just pressed.

I'm familiar with the equipment, miss. I'm just not used to finding them in my

cellar. This is after hours.

You've got a job in Bluestead, haven't you?

Before you were gone. I used to be in Bluestead.

Have you no way else to call me when they ask?

That's me.

They just assigned me to your school.

Yes?

Permission to speak freely, sir.

When have you not?

I think this is a bad idea.

What is?

Placing this chinless wonder in over my head.

If you want to discipline me, sir, bust me down or return me to my unit.

But I believe people will get hurt if we go operational with this captain in

charge. Why?

Because he's not one of us.

One of what?

You know what I mean, sir.

No, I don't, just as you don't know anything about him.

Other than the fact that he just ran your arse off.

News travels fast.

That's enough.

Permission to speak freely ended.

Tomorrow morning at Sparrowfart, Red Troop will fly out to Germany for a

exercise with GSG -9, where Captain Fleming will get to know you all better

make an assessment of the unit.

I make the bloody assessments of Red Troop. Not anymore!

Mind your down language when you speak to me.

Now, party prejudice is out the door, Henry, and assess him on his merit.

Patrick Fleming is the real deal.

Watch closely. You may even agree with me.

Heart monitor.

Oh, very professional.

Just for shows, sir.

Trying to untie you.

This flower.

Zlapusti?

Zlapusti, yes. Good, good.

Soon you speak Bacali.

Beautiful children you have.

Funny rabbit.

Look after this for me.

I'll find you.

Hey, my little princess.

Back soon. Take care.

Worst thing that can happen is I have to run at half speed so as not to show the

ambassador up.

What's it like treating with the Germans?

Tell you what, Chuck.

Love as you remember, not to mention the war.

Don't stand behind them after they've had their sausages and beer.

It's a picnic.

That's a famous cockney irony, isn't it?

No, it's a fox joke.

It's what Louis does instead of irony.

I don't think he likes being called Chuck, mate.

You what?

I don't think he likes being called Chuck.

Did it mean anything by it?

Hey. You like that monster?

It's the business.

You went for the L -97 and the long barrel.

And it's going to get you closer to the target.

Nice!

Who are you, John?

Aye.

Take a target out from a thousand meters.

They never know what hit them.

And you can do that?

From a thousand?

Aye. So you're saying you're the business too?

No.

I'm saying I'm the best.

So that's not irony.

And I guess you don't do modesty either.

I do modesty fine.

I do honesty first.

Hell of a view, huh?

You know, on a clear day, you should be able to see Russia from here.

Yes, but that would be over there.

You're looking towards Ingushetia.

You know, I always get my east. I'm not in love with my west.

Don't tell the foreign secretary, for God's sake.

Really peaceful here.

Yes. You never know, we're sitting on a powder keg, jammed in between the

Russians over there and the Ingushetians over there.

Which will toss matches at each other.

It's a three -way fight. The only people who are going to lose are the user by

car. Well, that's why HMG wants a low profile. No provocations.

No brush fire.

No bush wars.

Anything for a quiet life.

Should I put the tossies on, sir?

Fire them up.

You want to head start?

Yeah, right.

They're on their way down.

I hope you enjoy the posting here.

I know I will if these runs become a regular feature.

I'm up for it. Good man.

And who knows, I might actually return to the UK fitter than when I left it.

Got to get down.

Go now.

Go

now.

Hello. Check if he's been shot.

Check.

Mr. Malik.

What's going on?

Here, what do you want?

I want me on the ambassador.

Just don't harm the little girl. So English, so noble, so sentimental, so

The little girls are exactly what we want.

I beg you, take me.

It's all right, Peggy, don't worry.

We're going according to plan.

Sir.

You be count.

You do what I say, you see your parents again.

We'll make fun.

We'll have a hunt for them, okay?

What? Trouble.

They're not patrols.

Tell them that.

Thanks.

Hey, you the British?

What? I look like British.

No, it's a security video. He's taking it back to town. The rest of them are

back there.

Can I help you?

No, it's fine.

We're just in the area.

Good.

It's okay.

Enough nonsense! Somebody help us! Get this truck in the ditch and let's... Oh,

shit! I'm there! Now!

What would Jesus do?

You're a good mother -in -law.

What? Never born again Bible basher? You can't all give it me.

No harm in it.

Yuck. A girl.

Oh, you like girls, don't you?

This small chap, he can't be human.

You probably just know it's how nice and tidy you keep your kids.

Yes, it's slow.

It was before.

There was no mention of a chance it would throw. We were meant to have a

run to the border, and now the road's going to be blocked. Our transport's

up. We're on some piece of shit for a track heading into the ass end of

What now?

Turn out the road.

I'll call you back.

Come on, get your kit.

What are we doing?

We're walking.

It's 54 kilometers to the border. We better get moving, Sergeant.

Let's go and get the kids.

Three -man team kidnapped children of our embassy staff in Uzbekistan.

Map it.

Map it.

Yeah, in the three -cornered area on the border of Russia and Ingushetia.

UBs have sent in a hunted team, but the Mezwa family is lucky.

Dempsey.

Just a moment, sir.

Where's Red Troop's plane now?

Here. About to start the tent for landing.

Give me the pilot.

I can have boots in the dirt in an hour and a half, sir.

One of our troops is en route to a training session in Bavaria.

Well, the Germans will just have to play soldiers by themselves.

What's that, mate?

It's Hereford.

Change of plan.

The children of a British diplomat have been kidnapped in Uzbekistan.

We've been tasked to help local forces track and retrieve them. I didn't know

had an embassy there. We didn't, until last month.

The intel's entirely preliminary, but it appears that the kidnappers are heading

for an area called Three Corners, where three countries, Uzbekistan, Russia, and

Ingushetia, touch.

Uzbekistan, that's an ex -UVSD, right?

Used to be controlled by an ex -communist hardliner.

He was opposed in the bloodless coup last year. Now diplomatic relations have

been restored.

Only fly in the ointment is the Russians, who don't like their ex

states breaking away and turning to the west. Sounds lovely.

Can't wait.

Won't have to. We're jumping in.

I'm taking the bikes.

I don't know the right dosage for a kid. I've already done battlefield medicine.

Use your judgment. Just don't kill her.

Don't move.

No, no, no.

She's asleep.

Well done.

You'll carry her.

Impressed, Sergeant Konchalowski?

By the British, Colonel.

Be serious.

Empty.

I'm in the air in two minutes.

UB government's given us virtual carte blanche.

They're as embarrassed as hell.

The security services are falling over themselves to apologize.

I have to say, Henry, from limited contact, they're extremely highly

Yeah, well, they should be.

Where's Fleming?

He's debriefing the father.

Would you mind holding, sir?

Is there anything else?

My daughter has my watch.

The diplomatic watch.

Sir, we've just had a breakthrough.

The daughter's wearing a father's watch.

Put Fleming on!

Sir.

Fleming?

Excuse me.

Whitey! One of the girls has got a father's watch.

Get Cheltenham to activate the satellite tracker package now.

Okay. As soon as we have ping back, we'll bounce it to your comm link and

fetch. But keep it dark.

There's no need for the UBs to know about the technology.

What are my operational parameters, RE liaison with UBs? Strictly first aid

stuff. We've just re -established diplomatic relations.

So no hands below the waist, and we certainly don't swap bodily fluids.

Understood. Do we have a time scale on that tracker watch?

Depends whether we have to beg the favor of the Yanks to retask a Sattler.

Cancel my loss, that's a go.

Looks like beginner's luck, Patrick.

There's a heli inbound.

Let's take the area.

Have we got heat, Imogen?

Could not.

They've got cardboard belts.

Excuse me.

Helicopter is Augusta 109.

They just bought from America.

It's not a cardboard belt.

I'm sorry.

No insult intended.

He's just very keen to get on that trail.

Louie's right.

Trying to find people in dense forests with their helis fine, unless they hear

it coming.

Under something really high -tech like hide under a tree, we need to get after

them on foot ASAP.

That's exactly what is happening.

I have my best men on it.

Bukovnik, hunter team have found the unbuttoned vehicle in the foyer.

I told you, they are trained trackers and hunters.

So, uh, thank you for dropping in, old boy, but you really needn't have

bothered.

Well, I think this is going awfully well so far.

Don't you?

It's the first reconnaissance company.

Wait.

We've found an abandoned car.

Colonel, the first reconnaissance company has found an abandoned vehicle.

They have found a vehicle abandoned.

Go ahead, the first reconnaissance company.

It's not easy to get out of here, Les.

Wait.

I think you've just lost your search team.

Get the boat fired up. We're going in. Now!

I can't allow it.

Trooper Gallagher, phone, please.

I'm calling the office of your president on the number given to me by my prime

minister's office to call in case of operational problems.

I am not an operational problem. Please confirm anything you need to with them.

I don't need to be watching my back while we're looking for those little

Look.

We are both on the same side.

But I am under orders to attach men to your troop to make sure you don't get

into any unnecessary danger. Don't worry about us.

Worry about the little girls.

Worry about the kidnappers. We're the danger, Sergeant.

We'll pick up their trail at the ambush point.

Oh, I'm sure.

But do any of your men speak Baikali?

No. Then please wait while I have an interpreter who does speak Baikali.

For the sake of the little girls, you will need... How long?

You will need one in case you get into standoff. I have one here in one hour.

The trail goes cold in minutes, not hours, Sergeant.

You're right.

But so is he.

We go. You have your man catch up with us if you can. All calm.

I don't think that's a good idea.

I'm only in this country because I speak by Kali.

Those are my girls.

You can look after my wife, please, sir.

You fit?

This is a bad idea.

Two marathons in the last six months.

You can do what you're told. I can do what I'm told.

I can do anything to save my girls.

Fine.

Kit him out, mic him up, show him how it works. We'll leave in five.

He's emotionally involved.

You saw children being dragged to the forest by men who will kill them.

I'm emotionally involved, Sergeant.

You can take Pudotkin.

No room for passengers. He's not a passenger, he's a good soldier.

And you have to take him so that I fulfill my orders. Fine.

But if you can't keep up, we leave him behind. He'll drive you there. We can

hold on and try not to fall off.

We bought our own transport.

There isn't enough room on the quads.

Who stays behind?

You, Sergeant.

Are you serious?

You cannot leave me behind.

It's done.

A word in private.

You want to cut my balls off?

Use one of these.

I was going to task you to stay before this happened.

I need solid backup, and I don't trust this lot yet.

Plus the fact you're injured after that run, and chances are we're going to end

up off the quads and on foot at speed.

Just... It's a sign of bad leadership.

My bad leadership.

On the run, I was making a point at your expense.

Just because you didn't know where to stop, I should have.

Accept my apology.

Stay here, run comms, watch the UBs, protect our backs.

Hello.

What's going on?

You're not coming in.

Helicopter inbound now to check out Hunter team's last position.

Don't let them shoot us. We'll be the ones on the bikes.

Sir, if you mind escorting Mrs. Malick back to the capital, there's transport

standing by. I want to stay here.

In your position, I'd feel exactly the same way.

But this is one of those occasions where you'll be of more use, out of the way,

leaving us to get on with our job.

My girls. Sir.

Mrs. Malick, we have no idea how this will go.

Time is of the essence.

You may be needed to make an appeal to the kidnappers, and the TV stations are

in the capital.

On to Russ.

Sergeant's right, Fiona.

We should get back to a place of safety.

Romeo 1 -0 -Alpha, this is 0 -Alpha. You're getting ping back from

over.

This is Romeo 1 -0 -Alpha. I'm patching the signal to your sat -nav now.

Romeo 1 -0 -Alpha, this is Zero -Alpha, target acquired, we're locked on.

Out.

There they are!

Down there, look, to the right!

All right, let's go!

There they are! Look!

Look!

There,

a little to the right!

And down!

Fuck! Police group 1, we see them!

One man got out of his car.

We can see...

What's happened?

We've lost contact.

My helicopter is shot down.

Zero Alpha, Zero Alpha. This is Romeo One, Zero Alpha.

The heli is down. Repeat.

The heli is down. Out.

Relict.

Well, this is all turning to rat shit.

Welcome to Uzbekistan.

Will he task in another helicopter?

We're a small army. We have seven helicopters.

This morning, only two of them were flyable because we don't have the people

service them.

Now that's down to one.

And he's not going to risk losing that one on this.

That's why he's getting hysterical.

This one survived the claymore.

They slaughtered him afterwards.

Mate, listen to your girl, son.

You should wait with the bikes. No point in you looking at this.

Shit stays with you.

You don't need that in your head.

Perfect killing ground.

Boss, there's no way they're doing.

So do we.

Right, listen in.

These guys have roofed this and seem to have a hard way to back it up.

We press on, but keep intervals in case there's any more of these claymores

ahead.

It's not like the one here is coming.

Which way, boss?

Same direction the helicopter was flying.

Your English is very good.

Bloody lot.

They send you on a language course. Know your enemy type of thing.

No, poetry.

I love poetry.

I learn English for love of William Shakespeare.

Read him in his own beautiful native tongue.

No shit.

A lot of shit.

No.

I learn English in Spetsnaz language school.

So I can know what you bastards are saying in your foxhole.

Before I creep in and cut your throats and steal your girlfriend's panties.

Nastrovia!

I'm sorry.

There's a toast.

Russian. I come up your bum.

Never on a first date.

So why do you think they took the kids?

No idea.

But kidnapping children?

I cut straight the buses.

We found a helicopter.

No survivors.

Excuse me.

Are we going on on foot, sir?

The rain's getting steeper.

It'll be too easy to blunder into another booby trap if we stay on the

We can be heard coming a mile away.

These guys clearly like a bit of an ambush.

Corporal Wollstone?

Would you give Mr. Malik a crash course in our hand signals, then Mr. Malik pass

them on to Sergeant Fedotkin.

Five minutes.

I want quiet from now on in. Feet hydrate, then we move on.

That's the transport.

It's having it.

They're, um, here.

I got you informed immediately.

Where'd he go?

Got a secure line in his Mercedes.

So you haven't got man -to -service helicopters, but your colonels all ride

around in Mercedes.

Armoured Mercedes.

Welcome to the post -Soviet era.

sergeant.

I'll go use last train.

Have one for me.

Is there a problem, sergeant?

No.

Can I see?

Be my guest.

That icon represents Red Troop.

It's making sure they don't get lost.

Hey, one day they replace old soldiers, real soldiers like us, with

robots and drones.

Well, as you haven't perfected the cup of tea, I wouldn't worry just yet.

He wants to know if you can get porno on that thing. Is that what he wants?

While he's been looking me up and down, I was wondering when he was going to ask

me out on a date.

Don't worry about him. I've known him a long time. He's not like that.

He's one of the good guys.

Right.

So, when do you think these kidnappers will make their ransom demand?

Could be any time.

Englishetians, Chechnyans. Your guess is as good as mine.

Gorbachev yelled since they gave away the farm.

There are animals of all kinds wandering about out there.

You, uh, miss the old days?

Miss knowing my enemies were the ones speaking English.

It was simpler.

But hey.

To new friends.

To simplicity.

Okay. On your feet. Move now.

We are pretty sure they're right behind us on our trail. Just don't deal with

that noise.

Take her to a hospital!

Shout again.

I will open your mouth.

Reach in and cut your vocal cords. Understand?

Understand?

She is your host.

I really don't know the right dosage for food.

I got all these trying to help.

Why not just kill her now?

Move on. She's slowing us down, having to carry her.

Shut up, animal.

I am the one carrying her. It's okay by me.

Be quiet.

Don't upset the mama.

Right.

Everyone ready to move?

He isn't.

I guess that's why he wanted to know which way he fell.

Hell of a time for it.

I'd say it's exactly the right time for a prayer.

If I believe.

I'll be right down there on my knees with it.

Who believes?

Sergeant Finn.

Ain't you going to drop and join him?

It's not my flavor, pal.

No offense.

None taken.

Hey, come on, mate.

Not for that.

You may be Captain Tocaria, but she's slowing us down.

They're getting closer.

Kill the girl.

No. We'll either slow them down.

You're getting soft.

They'll have to stop and kill her. That will buy us time.

Anthony! Anthony!

Zero Alpha, this is Romeo 1 -1.

We have a kid crying for help up ahead.

Over. Romeo 1 -1, Zero Alpha, right on the tail.

Are you sure?

Mr. Malik, stay back until we call you.

It's okay.

It's okay.

No, Daddy!

Are you done?

Play more.

I'll see four and more bearings.

Corporal Hoffman, take the Bat -Nav and Corporal Younger. Keep on their trail.

Don't want to lose contact.

Mr. Malick.

Don't worry.

Corporal Wolfson is the best munitions man in the regiment.

That means I really hate without bags.

You're going to be fine. Just stay very still. Yeah?

Repeat!

They booby -trapped the girl.

They used a tripwire.

Well, it slowed them down.

These people are mucking around.

Neither are we. Dave knows what he's doing.

Sorry. Off Peter.

Daddy.

My shoulder hurts.

We'll help you soon, my little princess.

Not long.

You're very brave.

Farah.

We'll save her.

I gave my word.

Right now.

That wasn't me.

No, it was me.

Under my hip.

Don't move.

I'm doing nothing. Trust me.

I bloody hate mines.

Me too.

But you're going to be fine.

You should back off.

In case I go up.

Not gonna happen, Trooper.

Right, Corporal?

You got it?

No. Yes.

Ah.

Is that a good R or a bad R?

Well, that depends how you feel about toe poppers.

Just don't release the pressure.

Aisha, do you like knock -knock jokes?

Knock -knock jokes?

Knock -knock.

Who's there?

Aaron.

Aaron who?

Aaron, on the side of caution, when diffusing a line underneath one of your

friends.

Don't moan. Just get a bend on.

I'm...

I'm getting cramp stains still like this.

Sneaky bastards.

Claymore.

No time to gloat. Move on. We have to get to the border. We keep a speed up,

we don't need to kill ourselves. Brush it off.

And I thought British were supposed to be best special forces in the world.

Your sister ain't been hurt.

Only the soldiers.

Zero Alpha.

This is Romeo 1 -2 Bravo. Over.

Zero Alpha.

This is Romeo 1 -2 Bravo.

Over.

I'm getting no signal.

I'm sorry, pal.

You weren't my pal.

They're my pals.

You just arrived.

Okay, fair enough.

What now?

What the captain said.

Keep in contact with the kidnappers.

We've still got the sat -nav and there's one little girl still out there.

Captain.

I know.

We'll get our issue sorted out and then get after Farah.

But you know... They heard the explosions.

They'll think we were caught in their booby traps and slow down a bit.

We've found one of the girls.

She's injured. One of our men's bringing her out. We need a med team to RV with

him.

Here. Any other casualties?

No. They booby -trapped the girl, but we spotted it. Good news. Sergeant

Konchalowski, get a med team inbound now.

Where's he going now?

Covering it, eh?

I need you to carry her down the hill and rendezvous with the UBs.

You're sending me back.

Send him.

Trooper Gallagher says she's in shock. She's lost too much blood.

I dare didn't give her more morphine.

Because I've no idea how much the bastards have pumped into her.

Send her dad. You're the strongest.

You have to do it.

He hasn't got the navigation skills to make the RV alone. If you get in a

you'll need every... Corporal.

This is the day you do your duty by heading away from the fight and saving a

life.

Corporal.

You will.

Save the life.

Say again.

No one heard. You keep on their tail. We'll catch you up. Out.

Missions received. Out.

They're going to catch us up.

Thank you, Corporal.

God be with you.

He's like flying a desk as much as I do.

They're my troop.

I should be with them.

You're like a stock record, Henry.

The board is a five, six hour run from here.

Hoffman and Younger up ahead will join them.

We haven't caught the kidnappers by then.

Forget it.

From now on, it's a sprint.

Lemming's got a GPS tracker.

The gold watch is sending out a strong enough signal they could be with them by

now. Not necessarily.

The terrain's difficult.

Anyway, they've got one dough.

Leave it, Henry.

Yes.

Henry, you fuck!

No, no, no, no.

If they believe we think the trap worked, they'll get sloppy.

And if they're sloppy, they'll run right into us, and then they'll be dead.

What? British, still behind us.

They weren't caught in the trap.

The race is still on.

One more thing.

If I thought you knew about what was in this watch, I'd cut your ears off.

What's happening?

There's truck device in this watch.

You're lucky he likes children.

Come on, what is it?

The kidnappers left the girl directly in the path of our troop. I mean, it's a

big forest. How could they have known exactly what route they're on?

Meaning?

Meaning half this lot used to be Red Army.

Old habits, old loyalties die hard.

You think there's a mole?

We're in bandit country, but trust no one.

Any candidates?

Well, the colonel keeps running off to his merc to make fat calls, and the

laughing sergeant told one of his men to scope out our tracker system.

I don't think he knows the colonel's got the watch on, but I think he suspects.

Spoken Russian, thinks I can't.

Well, you're a suspicious sod, Henry.

One of the things I like about you.

So there is something, then?

Which way south?

Drink fast. After.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Save them for me and all, mate.

You keeping up well?

Are you the first?

What harm can it do?

This is Romeo 1 -1. Where the hell are these people?

They should be with you any minute. Over.

I know. You get them to pull their finger because this girl is in trouble.

Keep coming, Dave. They're inbound. Over.

Well, I can walk all day and all night, but this little girl, she feels every

bloody step.

Asha, do you know any songs?

No,

no, baby, don't go to sleep.

Don't go to sleep. Come on, sing with me.

Come here.

Look, I was singing the song, and you, you can sing the chorus.

And you know, I have got a terrible voice.

It is guaranteed to keep you awake.

Don't worry about a thing.

The track has stopped moving.

How long has it been like that?

Not long.

Do you think they're resting?

Or waiting?

Zero Alpha, Zero Alpha.

This is Romeo One, Zero Alpha.

The track has stopped moving.

You may be walking into an ambush over.

This is Zero Alpha. Roger that. Out.

Out.

Watch is static.

The kidnappers must have heard the explosions and think they're safe.

They're resting up.

Should be just over that ridge.

Hell of a place to camp.

Yeah.

Killing floor.

What happens when we get girl across the border?

We get a bonus and a medal.

To the girl.

Too late for that question, Michael. I still want to know.

Look, we hand her to the spooks. The spooks do what their political bosses

What do they want?

They want to show West that it was a vicarious failing state where fat, happy

Westerners shouldn't go. They want to show things would be better if you put

toothpaste back in tube. Put us back in charge.

Mother Russia.

And the child.

And the child.

They'll use it to concoct a provocation. I don't know.

Maybe they'll fix an army where brave Russian anti -terrorist forces try to

rescue her from wicked Baikali terrorists. Maybe she'll even survive.

Unlike these British.

They're following.

Now, enough talk.

We need to move on.

Smell that?

Campfire.

Jack, and they think we bought it with the booby traps.

Maybe.

Often, you go wide, very wide.

Munger, right flank.

Slow and easy.

I'll take point.

Run through over the ridge. No voice traffic until we know what we're dealing

with.

You stay back below the ridge line.

Silence routine.

Okay?

I got him in for love.

If they move, it's done.

Do you move him?

This is Romeo 1 -2. The machine gunner is down.

Romeo 1 -2, this is Romeo 1 -3. There's still a sniper out there. Stay low.

I'm filled to the brim.

All bad news.

Why did they leave that there?

Question is, how did they know there's a tracking device in it?

He used to.

That's why he's soft.

He's not coming, Rostov.

It's the mole.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Fleming agrees with your theory about there being a mole.

Leaving a broken clock's right twice a day.

Who are we looking at, then?

There are plenty of suspects.

As I said before, half the Uzbek army were Red Army up until independence.

Take your pick.

Kamal Bundachuk?

I don't know.

A fish does stink from the head.

But the Russians don't like us being pally here.

And if they can make it look like it was the Ingushetians that were responsible

for the kidnapping... It's a two -for -one deal.

The Russians will look for any excuse to run into Ingushetia, just like they did

in Chechnya.

That explains it.

Maximum media coverage.

And by the sound of the way the firefight went down, it looks like we're

with elite troops, not a bunch of terrorist yahoos.

You thinking sped snatch?

I hope not.

But if I'm right, I have a pretty good idea who our mole is.

How's the little girl?

Let's touch and go for a while. This is with the paramedics.

Nice work.

Well done.

I need a favor.

Sir.

We have a problem.

You can see our location. The trail splits.

From here it's an hour tops either way into Russia or Ingushetia.

Colonel!

What?

All call signs stand by.

Our troop is here.

What's your guess as to which way these bastards will go?

It's a big country.

Russian body is possibility.

It's only 80 kilometers from here.

On the other hand...

Bob, the SA

is right behind you with the fork in the trail. You have to get out over the

border fast.

They still think you're English.

New YouTube.

Who do you think you're doing? If the X -ray in the vehicle doesn't tell us

where the RV is, the girl's dead.

So don't kill it.

Who is it? Who is it?

Where are you going?

I'm not aiming.

Dave,

just buy me some time.

Where the hell is Henry?

I know it's some quiet time, boss.

Go to hell.

No doubt I have a room already reserved.

Right now, we have a little girl to save. So talk!

Screw her.

She's dead.

What you gonna do?

Torture me?

You're a Brit.

Brits don't do torture.

No.

That's why I'm gonna use a bit of poetry.

You said you liked it.

Poetry? Say hello to Mr. Browning.

Give me a map reference!

The best you can do.

She'll die screaming.

What do I care?

Didn't you say all child kidnappers needed castrating?

Trail's gone cold. Check the brow of the hill and the top of the track.

Absolutely deadly squat.

Zero -alpha, zero -alpha.

This is Romeo 1, zero -alpha.

The X -rays are RVing with a vehicle in Russia, in the area of grid

226892. Out.

Out there. About 20 minutes left.

Got it.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Good work.

Boss. What happened to him?

He thought I was going to shoot him in the bollocks.

But you didn't. No, I must have missed.

You know what I'm like with small targets. What is this?

This is a traitor.

This is the reason the kidnappers always knew exactly where we were and where

and when to set ambushes. But he's a Baikali. His ex -business is ex -Red

What do you expect?

I was Red Army, but now I am Baikali Army.

You must be one of the good guys.

He isn't.

Sergeant Garvey just did a spot of housekeeping for you.

No chance.

Rush.

Rush is on the other side of that road.

We'll see you tomorrow.

Yes, yes.

I need a higher ground.

I'm going to do math tonight.

I'm coming in, please, sir.

Cooper? I can adjust.

Far up. Far up.

I need to get closer.

Here's what we do.

We swap.

You leave her, you take me.

I said stop!

You take me instead.

We're much bigger trophy. A British SAS officer, big propaganda coup.

Go on.

Leave her, take me.

That's better.

I can make the shot, sir, but it's your call.

Shut up.

I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to put your gun down now.

Or what?

Or I'll put a bullet through your eye.

With what?

With this.

Crazy English.

Okay, it's safe now.

Just don't look.

Come on, Patrick.

That guy over there?

That's your dad.

My dad?

He's not a soldier.

No, but he's definitely one of the good guys.

Enough said.

Ben. Hi.

Must have been about half a mile.

Hi.

Head of the shop.

I don't know what you're talking about, Clare.

Never happened.

Right.

Well, thanks anyway.

Come on, then.

Time for tea and medals.

Boss.

Sit, rep.

Good news or bad news?

Don't sod around until you get the girl.

Safe as hell.

Nah, bad news until Rupert.

Well, the Rupert's dead.

No, the Rupert's good.

Really? I'm afraid so. And we've decided not to call him the Rupert anymore.

Jolly good.

His name's Patrick.

Well, I hope that you and Patrick will all be very happy together.

Look, strike that.

Sounds like he deserved it.

Job well done.

Romeo 1 -0 -Alpha out.

Well, you were right.

You did well.

So did you.

Just doing my job.

No, not that.

This.

That sergeant that I felt, Konchalowski.

Hmm? He was stuck in the path.

Couldn't adapt.

He was a dinosaur, Henry.

Yeah, well, I'm not prepared to become one of those just yet.

So, what are you going to do?

Evolve.

Good man.

This country's on the verge of anarchy.

We were entrusted with training a patrol for a special operation.

This is a job, not a holiday.

At least you get shot with a bit of adrenaline in you. At least that's what

meant. That lot couldn't mount sheep alone in an operation.

There's no way those men are ready to come as well.

The check would have been fine.

More window contract.

I want it. I give them the name of a company, you award them the bid. Next on

Falcone. Totally legit, totally clean. That's how it's got to go down.

And next week here on ITV1, all three Matrix films on three consecutive

See the fight against machines from start to finish.
