Strike Back

Ceasefire!

Took a gamble on keeping us alive.

You get this wrong, it's your career.

See you on the other side, mate.

Other side, bro.

If we hesitate, he'll get away.

It's too late! This is where we're needed.

‐I have to do this. ‐Mac...

I'm moving to engage.

Fuck are you doing here?

‐(GUNSHOT) ‐(EAR PIERCING RING)

[The Heavy's "Short Change Hero"]

‐ ‐

Who's that tiger attacking me?

I'm being attacked in me own house.

Is the tiger ticklish?

Is the tiger‐‐ ‐ Riley.

Riley, come on.

Riley, go get your bag, or we're gonna be late.

Go on.

And no running in the house, please.

What happened to cutting the grass, eh?

‐ Uh, don't panic about that. I'm gonna cut it later.

‐ Well, that's an interesting approach

to housework, isn't it?

‐ It is, yeah. It's new.

I'm trying it out.

‐ Right. Have you got everything?

‐ Yeah.

‐ What time are your friends coming over?

‐ Uh, I said 5:00, so knowing them,

probably 6:00 or something.

‐ All right. Well, I hope today goes okay.

And just, you know, give me a call when you're done.

‐ Sure, yeah.

‐ It's unlocked. Give me your bag.

‐ All right. Come here, kid.

You're getting heavy.

All right, good luck.

‐ Why?

‐ It's just what you say to someone

before they do something,

and I'm not gonna be there to see you today, so...

I'm saying

good luck now.

Boop! ‐

You know they give all the kids medals,

even if they come in last place?

‐ Excuse me?

She won't come last place. She's a McAllister.

‐ All right. Well, I'll see you later.

And, you know, good luck.

‐ I was hoping maybe today

we could talk about the incident.

‐ There's not much to talk about.

‐ Well, it's why you left the army.

And it's why you're here.

A terrorist attack in Munich.

You chased after the perpetrator

without waiting for backup.

‐ It's the job. ‐ This is a job too.

But I charge by the hour.

‐ Military's different.

‐ And that was the only thing driving you, the job?

‐ Yeah.

I mean, the death toll.

Maybe I could've stopped that from happening.

‐ If you'd sacrificed your team

before the gas station outside of Sarajevo.

‐ Yeah, maybe it was that.

And...

the copper.

It all adds up, you know.

‐ You've not mentioned a police officer before.

‐ His name was Spiegel.

A young Israeli police officer.

He was killed.

I wound him up a bit about being a hero

and making a difference.

And I was using him to get what we needed.

‐ Compared to all you've seen in your career...

why would one life matter so much?

‐ It's all we get.

‐ And this was on your mind

as you entered the housing complex?

Getting closer...

and closer to the target?

Thomas, what is it?

‐ There was somebody else there.

The widow of somebody I killed.

‐ And you'd forgotten this?

‐ You remind me of her.

‐ And that disturbs you?

‐ What, that...

you remind me of her?

‐ That you'd killed her husband?

‐ No, he deserved it.

‐ That's quite the judgment.

‐ He was selling bioweapons to terrorists.

I don't have any conflict over that.

But she was unarmed.

‐ And weren't that kind of soldier?

Was it worth it?

All the fighting?

The death?

What it did to you, mind and body?

Do you think you made the world a better place?

‐ Saved by the bell.

‐ You can answer the question, Thomas.

If you want.

‐ You've never told her the story?

‐ Of course I've told her the story.

‐ No, you told me a version of the story, babe.

‐ Bet he says the gas tank isn't his fault.

‐ Hey, it's not my fault

if Libyans don't keep their fuel tanks full, is it?

‐ Well, it'd take you a second to check.

‐ Says the guy who stole a hearse.

‐

‐ I'm sorry, did he say you stole a hearse?

‐ Mm‐mm‐mm.

No, no, I‐‐ ‐ Yes, yes.

‐ I believe that Novin here was telling a story.

‐ I was trying to.

Anyway, I was out there

as special operations command engineering,

and I get this call telling me about two legends

who got themselves lost in the desert.

‐ Whoa, let me stop you there, because we weren't lost.

We just didn't know where we were going.

‐ Exactly, it's different. It's a different‐‐

‐ No, no, no, he argues with the GPS all the time.

‐ Uh, my love, just because it's a computer

doesn't mean it's right.

‐ Aww, you're such an idiot.

‐ You're the one who married me.

‐ I know. Come here.

‐ Oh, God.

Can I please finish my story before I throw up in my mouth?

Anyway, so I'm driving around in a panic,

'cause someone gets stuck out in that heat, they're fucked.

So just as I think it's a bust, I'm driving around the corner

and I see these two dickheads hiding behind a rock.

‐ Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

So this hearse, did it have a body in it?

‐ Uh, I mean‐‐ ‐

‐ Look‐‐

I think you should ask your husband that question.

"Husband." Suits you.

‐ You shite talker.

‐ Go on, then.

‐ No, no, love, of course it didn't have a body in it.

‐ Did it have a body in it?

‐ Yes, ma'am, it did.

‐

‐ Didn't want to stink up your house.

‐ Very civilized. ‐ Thank you.

So how's things with the doc?

‐ Yeah.

Yeah, it's all right.

Lot of questions.

‐ Oh, yeah?

Mm‐hmm.

‐ "Was being a solider worth it?"

And, "Did you make the world a better place?"

‐ Fuck yeah, we did.

‐ Fuck yeah? That's your answer?

‐ Yeah.
