All language subtitles for Big Sky s02e12 Missing In Action

So, where are you having it? The Royal
or the Railway? Railway. Ah, good.

Just round the corner.

Won't be far to carry you home.

Really glad you're here, Blake.

Ah, well, it's the only way I can
collect on my bed.

What bed?

I bet your 20 bucks you'll end up
marrying Cathy.

School formal, remember?

Hey, look, I really need to talk to you
about something. Yeah.

Told you he wouldn't fight you out in
his own backside.

Um, Terry, Ron, this is my cousin Blake.

Ah, the best man.

G'day, Blake.

Actually,

we were a bit pissed off. Why?

Well, we thought he might have chosen
one of his army mates.

Dave, are we going to get a show on the
road or what?

Yeah, just give us a sec, will you?

Dead witless, mate.

It's a bit late in the day to be getting
cold feet, isn't it? Let's talk about

that. Listen, I've got something to show
you.

I think I'm in big trouble.

What? I don't want Cathy to know, but a
couple of weeks back we were on an

exercise up near Winda.

I saw something I shouldn't have.

Now I think they're trying to kill me.

Come on.

We're wasting valuable drinking time.

Okay.

The ring.

Just stick them in your coat pocket so
you don't forget them.

Yeah, yeah.

You all right?

Yeah.

Let's go.

I haven't seen each other since I left
the service when we were in Sydney.

How come you never told us he was in our
gang?

He wasn't.

Oh,

pilot, are you?

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

Excuse me. Here we go. Shake hands with
the unemployed.

I'll get us another round.

Begin.

You might leave me alone.

It's terribly not.

You're trying to stop me from saying
anything.

About what? Hey, what did you say?

I don't know. I can't be sure.

There were these trucks outside.

There he is.

I thought you said you were getting your
mates a drink. What happened to that?

It was slush. Come on, Lola. There's
still a surprise for you. Just let me

finish up. Come on, you've got to come
right now. You have to come with us.

Who is it?

Me, Kathy.

Just a sec.

Long time no see.

Yeah.

Not better than you and Ian by the looks
of it.

I couldn't even wake him.

You were supposed to make sure he didn't
get too drunk.

Sorry.

He's cummerbund.

You want me to give it to him?

I also want to make sure he's okay.

He has to be sober and presentable by
three.

He did come back here last night, didn't
he?

Yeah, I put him on the bed myself.

He was pretty out of it.

Because of some stupid prank, Blake? No,
no. Well, I had nothing to do with it,

if it is.

Great. Well, he'd better get back sooner
or he'll never be ready.

I'll take his parents' place.

Yeah, maybe his army mates know where he
is. I'll give them a call.

If he's late getting to the church, I
will kill him.

Yeah, Max was doing really well. He got
90 % for a maths exam recently.

That's great.

Jack likes maths.

Won a competition last month.

Yeah, well, Max is doing it. It's a
really advanced course, you know. It's

difficult. He's doing well.

Chloe's been doing a great six syllables
since she was four.

An English, English.

He got nine out of ten for a poem
recently. You know, there's talk of a

publishing deal.

Les Murray thought it was a great little
poem. Mayday, mayday. Any air puffs on

this frequency, please copy. We have a
seriously injured man six miles due west

of Lake Horwich and urgent evacuation
required.

I repeat, mayday. This is Romeo Hotel,
Sierra.

Received your mayday call.

ETA, approximately arrival is... 20
minutes.

Yeah. All OK.

Well, can I talk to him?

Why not?

Look, he's meant to be getting married
today.

Will you talk to his fiancée?

Hello?

He's not at his parents'. That's because
he's back at base.

What?

His CA just told me. Why?

Not authorised to give that information.

Something's not right, Kath.

I don't like it.

Somebody jeeped idea of a joke. I knew
it.

Well, it's really pushing it to get all
the way back from there before...

Do you think he's changed his mind?

About me?

Of course not.

He loves you.

Maybe not anymore.

Something's going on.

I'm going to go up and find out what.

Me too.

If he doesn't want to marry me, the
least you can do is have the guts to

to my face.

That looks like satellite dish.

Where? That thing they're covering up
there.

Why would they want a satellite dish out
here?

You're a lifesaver, mate. I really
appreciate it. No, Groff, what happened?

Mate, it was an accident. I got hit in
the thigh. On what?

The bullet.

We were doing a bit of pig shooting. He
tripped over and his gun went off. He's

nearly taken his leg off. What are you
guys using, bazookas? You can't afford

muck around with wild pigs.

Careful.

Easy.

Big Sky Base. Riding in a Hotel Sierra.

Big Sky Base.

Shay, we're going to need an ambulance
on standby when we arrive back. We've

a seriously injured man in the back
here. His name's Mark Cooley.

All right.

How did you know he's not?

I helped put him in jail for selling
high -grade weapons from the Army.

Now, Shay, call Lightfoot. All righty.

Lightfoot's going to be very interested
now and patient.

Riding in a Hotel Sierra.

Big Sky Base.

Those Air Force blokes we were
investigating a few months ago, the ones

were involved with elephants stealing
weapons from the army.

Yeah, what about it?

Well, how many years would they have got
for their part of the racket?

Not much change out of five years.

Then why was I airlifting one of them
seriously injured out of the scrub

Which one?

Cooley.

He was there with some of his heavily
armed huss -looking mates.

They claimed they were shooting pigs.

You don't need M16s to shoot pigs, do
you?

M16s. They also had some very
sophisticated radio equipment, a

And the clothing and everything, it all
looked military -issue.

If you get back out there, take some
photographs. You know the drill.

I'll go and find Cooley.

Has Ian said anything to you about... I
don't know, has anything been worrying

him lately?

Why?

He said he thought he was in trouble,
but he didn't get a chance to tell me

exactly why.

He has been a bit uptight, yeah.

He's probably trying to work out how to
tell me it was over. Hey, hey, hey.

Enough of that.

I know how Ian feels about you.

There's got to be some other
explanation.

It's taking so long. Why can't we just
see him?

I don't know.

Lake Wallace?

Major Rowland. We spoke earlier.

I'm Ian's fiancée, Kathy.

I'd like to see him.

Perhaps you'd like to step into my
office first.

Please, take a seat.

Hold black that Ian had come back here.

What's going on?

Yes.

To be more precise, he was brought back
here.

I wasn't entirely frank with you before,
Mr. Wallace, because of the sensitivity

of this matter.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but
Ian's a very sick man.

Sick?

What do you mean? Well, he was okay last
night.

Well, it may well have seemed that way,
but apparently he was on the verge of a

nervous breakdown. It seems he...

Collapsed early this morning and a
couple of his friends brought him here.

Terry and Ron, right?

They were members of his regiment, yes.

Can you treat nervous breakdowns here?

Who said he's had one anyway?

I want to speak to the doctor treating
him. Oh, yes, of course. We're all in

good time. No.

I want to speak to a doctor and I want
to see my fiancé.

Now.

He's been heavily sedated. I still want
to see him. We are members of his

immediate family.

down the floor. What are you doing to
him? For his own safety, in case he

hurt himself. I wouldn't.

He's not staying here.

I want him back home with me.

There's a good hospital there, his own
doctor, his family. Ian is receiving the

best possible care, believe you me.

I want him diagnosed by a doctor I know.

I want him seen by a specialist.

I understand your concern.

As long as Ian is an enlisted man, he's
the army's responsibility and will be

cared for by our own medical personnel.

Now, we only have, uh... Short visit's
here, so I have to ask you to leave now.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not leaving him here like this.

I would prefer not to be forced into
escorting you off the base.

The army can't do this.

I reckon they'll do whatever they want
to. He's sick, Blake.

No.

No, I think he's in trouble.

You asked me how he's been acting
lately.

Well, he's been strange.

Moody, irritable, paranoid.

He's had a nervous breakdown and I want
him to have the best care there is.

Look, I want to have you look in his
barracks. You go back to the plane, I'll

see you soon.

So, what are we looking for?

Well, it's a fishing expedition, really.

Anything that gives us a better idea of
what those guys are up to out here.

Yeah, well, I hope none of them have got
M6 fans to point at us.

That's why you've got to be quick.

I don't want to do too many overhead
classes, flight and horse.

Okay, I've got my trigger finger ready.
Let's do it.

See anything?

Nope. Maybe they've packed up and gone
home.

What was that?

I hope it wasn't something pointed at
us.

Well, we're not going to hang around to
find out.

Did you get any pictures?

Oh, yeah, I got plenty of pictures, but
there wasn't much to look at.

What was that?

A lot of land excavation, mining.

Oh, yeah? I'm trying to keep an open
mind, Chris. You know, I don't want to

to any conclusion.

Hey, who are you?

I'm Blake Wallace, Ian's cousin. I'm
just here to collect his things.

Well, you're a bit late, mate. They went
with him.

To sickbay? No, he's been transferred.

To Sydney.

No, I just saw him here in sickbay.

No, you can't have.

He was being transferred straight after
he got married.

Are you sure?

Well, that's what the CO told me.

You were told to leave this base for a
reason. I could have you charged.

I won't stop until I've found out where
he is.

He's been transferred to Sydney.

He's being held at the Armed Forces
Corrective Centre at Greenhills, pending

investigation into very serious charges
of espionage and treason which have been

brought against him. What? We didn't
want this situation getting out before

whole matter had been investigated
fully.

Hence the cover story of an illness.
You're wrong.

No way.

What are you supposed to have done? I'm
afraid that's classified information.

But that's all I can say at this time.

I would suggest that you take no more
interest in this affair.

It has nothing to do with you.

Mr. Wallace is ready to leave the base
now.

This is Paula and Rosie.

Have fun. Thanks.

Morning. Hi, I'm Brad. This is Colin.
Hi.

So your suit's all packed and ready to
go?

Yeah, and I can't wait.

So you've obviously done this before?

Yeah, it's tradition.

Every vacation, our way of seeing the
sights.

You get to know a place real fast when
you hurl yourself at it from 10 ,000

feet. Yeah, good to do.

So what part of the state are you from?
San Francisco.

Really? I stayed there with a friend for
a couple of months. What part?

I'm just near Alamo Square.

Oh, you're kidding.

Small world, isn't it?

Now all the crockery started rattling
and, like, the walls were shaking and

floor buckled. And everyone died for
cover, but, you know, I've never been in

earthquake before, so I didn't know what
was going on. I was in Frisco for the

last big one.

Oh, were you? I saw this road just split
in two right in front of me. Oh, wow.

What did you do?

Turned around fast and got the hell out
of there.

We're approaching the drop zone, guys.

See you down there.

See you down there.

All stations to Mora. Charlie Tango
Delta is overhead to Mora at 10 ,000 for

parish and operations.

Canopy released in 20 seconds.

Sorry, it's a bit bumpy, guys. I'll try
and keep it steady for you. No problem.

Woo! Woo!

Hey, it's ready.

Okay, let's go.

It's impossible.

Ian loves being in the army.

He'd never do anything to risk being
thrown out.

Should we get him a lawyer?

No, look, as soon as I've taken you
home, I'll go back to Sydney and see if

can find out.

You know, he said he's been acting
strange lately.

When did it start?

It was when he got back after an
exercise I did outside Winda a few

now. That's when he'd seen something.

What? I don't know. He didn't get a
chance to say.

You think that's what he's in trouble
for now?

It's possible.

The only way to really find out now is
to talk to him.

Today was meant to be our wedding day.

It was going to be so special.

I love Ian.

I just want this to be over. I want him
back.

Get him back, Pat.

Really bruised. I can't ring a doctor
for you. It's really no problem.

A bit of ice, a couple of aspirin, I'll
be fine. What are we going to do about

the others?

We were meant to meet up for a surface
afternoon, remember?

Well, you'll just have to go without me.
But you're my main man.

I'm not going to wreck your vacation,
Colin.

Just go. I'll be okay.

If you're sure.

I'll see you back at the hotel.

Okay.

Look after yourself.

I will.

Thanks, Paula.

See you, Colin. See you.

Well, if you won't let me call the
doctor for you, at least let me give you

lift back to the hotel.

You don't have to do that, really.

No, I want to.

Okay, if you insist.

Thanks very much.

Okay, you've got your remote control.

Great. Magazines. Thank you.

So, is there anything else that I can
get you?

Well, if you wouldn't mind, I'm really
hungry.

All right, then I'll just ring up room
service for you.

You're lazy.

This place isn't ritzy enough for room
service.

Okay, well, why don't I just go out and
get you some takeaway?

Oh, no, I was just going to ask you if
you could tell me somewhere good that

delivers, and I'll just call. Yeah, but
then you've got to get up and get to the

door, so I'll just go and get you
something.

What do you feel like?

Pizza?

That'd be great, and if you could pick
up a couple of beers as well? Yeah,

Oh, with the bride gorgeous?

No luck?

No, usual run around. Can't give you
that sort of information.

I'll need to go to Green Hills in person
tomorrow.

Something to show me. Something to do
with whatever it was he saw that he

shouldn't have.

Like what?

You mentioned trucks.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Sorry.

That's okay.

You know, Blake, maybe you should speak
to Lightfoot.

Maybe he could pull a few strings for
you.

Yeah, maybe.

It's going to be all right.

I

know

they're not much to look at, but we
didn't want to hang around given the

circumstances. Understandable.

Not much to go on, really.

We're going to have to go in by road so
you can see from the ground.

What do you mean we? We're dealing with
some seriously armed men here. Shouldn't

we be bringing in your federal police
mates?

Normally, yes.

But someone got Cooley out of jail.

We make this investigation official now,
we could tip that someone off.

So we sneak in, take a peek and hope
nobody sees us?

You're my only option at this point.

I'll arrange a digital camera so you can
relay back what you see to me.

You won't be joining us?

I'll find out who owns that land, who's
leasing it and what they want it for.

Oh, well, if we're going to get our
heads blown off, I can't think of anyone

else I'd rather do it with.

You didn't know what you liked, so I
just got you one with a lot.

Fantastic.

Help yourself.

Oh, no, I won't stay.

Oh, you've got to have some of this.

I'll never finish that.

You sure?

Yeah, why don't you get yourself a beer?

Oh, OK.

So, what do you do when you're not
jumping out of my plane on your

holiday?

I'm in the marine.

Oh, so you're a sailor.

Does that matter?

No.

We don't all have a girl in every port,
you know? Oh, look, even if you do,

it's, you know, who am I to judge?

I'm just saying you haven't walked into
a cliché, if that's what you think.

Ask these two French motorcycle police,
and I don't speak French, right? And I

had no idea what was going on in the
middle of this conversation.

My dad comes around the corner, we go to
skateboards, right? And he'd be, hold

on, and we'd be just riding like crazy.

Oh,

God.

What? It's 5 .30. I'm really sorry. I
don't usually stay and babble onto

like this. Well, look, to be honest with
you, it's really the best night I've

had in ages.

Yeah, me too.

Well, well Maybe we could try again
sometime.

Yeah How about tonight?

Yeah Say around 8 o 'clock

I'm here to see my cousin, Corporal Ian
Wallace. I understand that he's here.

I'm sorry, Corporal Wallace has not
permitted any unauthorised visitors.

So how do I get in to see him? Well, you
could put a request in with the

commanding officer in writing.

I want to see him now.

I'd be happy to pass it on for you, sir.

Just let me in. I just need to see him.

I don't think that's a very good idea,
sir.

I'm sorry.

You just point the little camera here,
press the button, go through the laptop,

through the mobile phone, via satellite,
and straight to Lightfoot.

I love it, guys. We've got the best
gadgets and the riskiest jobs.

Yeah, I was thinking about that,
actually.

Do you think we should maybe, like, have
a, I don't know, like, a cover story,

just in case we bump into some, you
know, heavily armed clowns who ask us

we're doing?

Is there anything you can think of that
they would actually believe?

All right, players.

Geologists?

I think it's better we just don't run
into anyone.

Metalers. They'd be wanting to take
photos of, you know, like, iron ore

and rich themes of copper.

Huh?

You're sure the nervous breakdown was
just a

ruse that your cousin wasn't really ill?

Am I, though, holding him at Green
Hills, a military prison?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with my
cousin.

If he said he saw something, then he
did, and now he's in trouble for it.

All right.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

Chris and Jimbo just called. They're on
the way to the site now.

Good.

You won't forget about Ian.

Yeah, it's all right, Blake.

See? I told you he could help you out.

I have another problem with the army.
One of the pilots, a big guy, a cousin,

enlisted. He's got himself into some
serious trouble and they can't find out

full story.

Do you want me to get on to the
minister, see what's going on?

Oh, Blake's a good fellow. I'd like to
help him if I can.

I'm sure a few discreet, unofficial
inquiries can't hurt.

Wallace, Corporal Ian Wallace.

Told you all this before, sir.

And I want to hear it one more time,
Corcoran.

Exactly what did you see and where?

During the joint training exercise out
near Windah, I was out doing

reconnaissance.

Alone? Yes, alone. That was the order. I
was one of the scouts that went ahead.

We came across a building like a bunker.

Out in the middle of nowhere.

And exactly where were you at this
point?

I don't know exactly. I sort of lost my
bearings. I was wondering where I was

when I came across it. What was this
building?

Don't know.

Didn't have a name on it or anything.

Thought it probably belonged to a mining
company.

But then I saw a US Army vehicle driving
into it. They were unloading something.

What?

Couldn't see exactly what, but it was
obviously fragile. They were taking

care with it.

And this is what you took photographs
of? Yeah.

I thought it was probably part of the
exercise.

I didn't want to stuff it up. I thought
maybe this was what I was meant to be

scouting.

So what did you do with the photos?

I gave them to the officer in charge, in
case that's what I was meant to do.

So that's it.

Next day another officer came to see me,
told me to forget I'd seen anything,

shut up about the whole thing.

So what happened to the negatives?

I threw them away.

I thought the photos were part of the
exercise.

I didn't know how to keep them. So
you're absolutely sure you destroyed the

negatives?

Yes. Why do you keep asking me that?
I've told you, I haven't got them.

Excuse me, Major, there's a phone call
for you.

Okay, the order's not to be interrupted.

It's the Major General.

He says it's urgent.

that you didn't dispose of them.

I suggest that it's in your best
interest to tell me where they are as

possible.

I don't understand how the matter became
known to you.

The family have been asking a few
questions, but that's all. It couldn't

gone that far.

The minister?

Well, of course the situation has to be
rectified.

Surely there must be another way, sir.

Yes, sir.

I understand.

It will be.

Take Corporal Wallace back to his cell.

Chris, that explosion we saw the other
day... Yeah, what about it?

You don't think that was set off by
unwanted visitors walking where they

shouldn't, if you know what I mean?

Well, we'll just have to be careful
where we put our feet, won't we?

Yeah.

Look how many of them there are. There
must be, what, 30 more.

Well, what do you know? Another old
friend.

That's cool, this boss Briggs.

He ran the stolen guns deal from the Air
Force present.

What, did they all get out of jail pre
-cards?

Get a shot of that guy there.

What, another one?

Well, another one of Cooley's mates.
That's spud.

They stick together, don't they?

Extraordinary.

That's all three of the Air Force
officers charged in that gun smuggling

operation with Ellison.

What the hell are they doing out there?

And why?

There's enough men there to form a small
platoon.

The plot's taken.

Foreign money's running the show.

Mercenaries. So some conflict over here?

It's possible.

Well, let's hope so.

What if their eventual mission is a
local one?

I reckon I can get a better shot of them
from that ridge up there.

No, we've got enough to show Lightfoot.

Let's just get in the car and get out of
here.

It's time.

It's got Wallace and Silky.

Do you know what has happened?

Yes, sir.

Get on the train, Commander.

We're all high.

Gunnery.

You're free to go.

Oh, come on.

You mean it? I can just go?

I'm ordering you to.

The charges, they're going to be
dropped.

You're to be dishonourably discharged.

On what grounds?

You'll be formally notified in due
course.

I don't understand.

Is that the

idea?

Is it a trap?

Well, if it is, maybe now's the time to
tell them we're metallurgists.

Hope you know where we're going. I was
following you.

Hey, there it is.

Hold on, we're all going.

There they are. Open fire!

Maybe we should say we're environmental
activists.

No, that's the only way we can do it.

Try the geological line? No, just keep
running.

What are these guys? He's for breakfast.

Go, go, go.

I'm sorry, but there must be some kind
of mistake. Can you just check again?

It's room 26.

There's got to be a message for me.

I'm sorry.

He checked out this afternoon.

Oh, um... So he didn't leave a
forwarding address or a message?

I'm sorry.

He was a visiting serviceman, wasn't he?

You sure?

Okay.

Thanks.

It's the Pentagon.

What?

That's who's bankrolling this private
army.

And nobody in our government knows
anything about it.

That's the way it looks.

Well, we would have known this
information much sooner.

Why are the Americans playing soldiers
on our soil?

Well, let's get the federal police to
get out there and find out.

No, that's too sensitive.

If we put a foot wrong, the consequences
could be politically catastrophic.

No, we tread quietly.

I'll go out there myself.

Hang on a sec.

Ian! What are you doing here? Let me
out. I don't know why. You've got to be

following me. Have you still got the
rings?

Yeah, of course.

Give them to me. I've got to hide them.

Well, where are you going?

I don't know. Somewhere safe.

They'll be coming after me, I know it.
This has got to be where they let me go.

They know I've got these.

God, what? I mean, where are you going
to go? I haven't worked it out yet. I'll

call you.

He's dead.

They let him out.

They killed him.

They ran over him.

It looked like an accident.

He did see something.

He wasn't making it up.

That's what the army didn't want him to
see.

You see?

He wasn't mad. He wasn't imagining it.

The army had him killed for this.

I'm not going to let him get away with
it.

What are they unloading?

Where were these taken?

He said it was on a joint exercise just
outside a window.

A joint exercise with who?

The Americans.

being paid by our friends in the bush.

A coincidence.

Maybe they knew somebody was one of
them.

Black, Lightfoot, I want police out
here.

Need the whole area combed for any clue,
any indication of where these men are

gone. Right.

Damn it. Damn it.

You all right?

Best time of my life.

I don't know what's going on.

We've got fully armed mercenaries out
there, and I don't know where they're

going to turn up or what they're going
to do.

Assassinate somebody.

Break strikes, take hostages.

I haven't got a clue what I'm going to
do about it.
