Episode 6

1 DANIEL: Rachel! Rachel! Rachel! How do you know all this stuff? Mum showed me.
She learned when she was travelling.
- Help her, now! - Corrie? (ALARMS BEEP) Corrie? Tell us where your friends are.
Tell us where they are.
Go to hell.
Do you remember when we used to laugh and cry? And do you remember When we dreamed of things and places to go? We'll stand together and forever Hold on, be strong Things'll be just like they used to be Where we belong In the time that was before.
Barricade, barricade Pushing all the people away One night under a Cheshire Cat moon Conversation with a woman who says I hear your quiet frustration I hear your cry She burnt up all my disconnection KATH: I've heard she's worse.
That her wounds are septic.
- I can't give you any information.
- Sir, we don't have an ICU.
We don't have the right antibiotics.
She needs to be moved to a proper hospital.
It's impossible.
There is no priority given to civilian patients.
Oh, especially ones that have fought against you.
And those who had rebels try to break them out.
You have a good job here.
You have privileges.
You really want to jeopardise all of that? I need to see her.
She's my daughter.
Corrie's still a child and she's all I've got.
I understand, but I don't have a say in this.
Please.
I will do anything.
There's nothing you can do.
I'm sorry.
(CRIES) No-one said that it would be easy No-one said that it would be fair No-one said that my life could blow up in flames No-one said that I would pay Just keep stepping Keep your weapons near your chest Just keep stepping Keep your What you give is what you get Just keep stepping Keep your weapons near your chest Just keep stepping Keep your eyes wide open Closing in on what you want.
MAN: Jack Linton! If you do not go willingly, you will be forced and punished.
- Better do what they want.
- Daniel Maxwell! Chris Maxwell! - You withheld information! - Where are they taking us? - You will be relocated tomorrow! - No idea.
- Move! - LIZ: Jack! Move! Move! I said back from the cage! - Move! - Jack! Move! I said move! Back.
Just keep stepping Keep your eyes wide open Closing in on what you want What you need No-one's safe till you bleed out.
JACK: We're troublemakers, apparently.
We need relocating.
Any war, you know it, the ones relocated Don't come back.
- Stop.
Stop! - Liz, what are you doing? Liz, do what he says.
- My husband needs water.
- Go back.
Liz, please, I'm fine.
Just go back.
You leave her alone! - Go back! - Liz! OK, you want to give him water, hmm? Ha! Have him drink this.
- You OK? - I'm fine.
You're not leaving without me.
ROBYN: Homer! Hey.
FI: I was worried.
Sorry.
Took longer than I thought it would.
Yeah, really? Overnight? The bike needed petrol.
But forget that.
There's news.
My Dad and Lee's were fine.
So was your mum, Ell, but your dad and yours and Chris are being taken.
My mum? I didn't see her.
You have no idea where they're going? All I know is if they're being relocated, there's a good chance We'll never see them again.
We don't know that for sure.
The showground is too well guarded for us to break them out.
There is another way to stop people from leaving.
We blow up the bridge.
- You're kidding.
- That's so dangerous.
Well, think about it.
The soldiers are still bringing in supplies from Cobbler's Bay, using the bridge every day, right? It's the only way south.
And it's over that bridge they have to take our parents.
So if there's no bridge, not only do we stop our parents from being moved, but we burn the enemy.
Win-win.
I'm going back in to check out what's possible.
Blowing something up? I'm going to Curr's .
.
to check out the petrol tanker.
I'm bouncin'.
- Fi! - Be careful.
FI: Homer, wait! I'm coming with you.
What, you don't want me to? - I do.
- There's a but.
I don't want to drag you into anything.
You're not dragging me into anything.
This bridge thing might It could get really ugly.
I know that.
I don't care! I don't want anything to happen to you, Fi.
I'm not scared, Homer.
I'm here because I want to be.
We're in this together.
It's about you and .
.
how special you make me feel.
You sure? Yeah.
I know exactly what I'm doing.
I mean about the bridge.
Yeah, that too.
We're going to do all we can to save our parents .
.
and after that, it's about you and me.
I believe in you, Homer.
Nobody's ever said that to me before.
(WHISPERS) Thank you.
Come on, let's do it.
BOY: I did not run away! COLONEL LEE: You're a deserter.
You know the penalty.
No, no! No, please, please! Would a deserter shoot a rebel? What rebel? Up in the hills.
I shot a girl.
Give me a map and I can show you where I found her.
MAN: Said he last saw her here, so assume that the girl came from somewhere to the north.
There's a river escape route, so approach at dawn from here and here.
- Pin them in.
- Where did you find this map? Fire station.
We thought it would provide us with areas known only to the locals.
- He was telling the truth.
- Who? The rebel who brought in the wounded girl.
He told me to "Go to Hell.
" No prisoners.
I don't want any of them coming back.
You're going to wear yourself out at that rate.
I'm going to find Homer.
- He's planning something.
- Let's go.
You said you were just going to check it out.
I lied.
I'm going to drive this onto the bridge and blow it up tonight.
(TANKER CLANGS HOLLOWLY) It's empty.
(FAINT FOOTSTEPS, COCKATOO SQUAWKING) LEE: (WHISPERS) Hear something? (WHISPERS) Not sure.
(RAPIDLY APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS) (WHISPERS) Hide! Quickly, get out of sight! MAN: (WHISPERS) Halt! (WHISPERS) Robyn, let's go! Let's go.
We'll beat this, Cor.
Remember your favourite game, Cor? Pick a country, make a plan? Oh, let's hope they're still in here.
Ellie! Damn, I could have shot you! You scared the crap out of us.
What are you doing here anyway? Do I look stupid? I knew you wouldn't come back.
I've been thinking.
Hope that didn't hurt too much.
What's the plan? Drive this onto the bridge, light the bale of hay and all this stuff will, in theory, go boom.
- LEE: Go boom? - Or 'kaboom' - one of the two.
There'll be guards all over the place.
We'll need a distraction to get onto the bridge.
I found more stuff.
Mix everything together the right way, it won't do much, but it'll make a lot of noise.
It'll be the distraction I need while I do my stuff.
You're not doing it alone.
I'm with you.
(HOMER SIGHS) After we make a lot of noise .
.
then what? All we have is now, and this is what we have to do now.
Let's stop their supplies, stop our parents leaving.
We can worry about 'then what' tomorrow.
Best way this works is if we blow up the bridge before the truck gets there so the parentals can run free.
We blow it too soon, they never leave the showground.
Too late and we could end up getting them killed.
Ellie Ellie's with me in the ute.
Lee, you'll do the distracting with Fi on bikes.
Someone needs to find out what time the truck's leaving the showground.
I can do that.
You'll actually have to get in there.
Make like a ninja.
There's something I need to do before we start.
Halt! Looks deserted.
Let's secure it.
When they get back, no-one leaves here alive.
(SOFTLY) Dad.
Dad? Lee! It's not safe! There are soldiers everywhere.
What are you doing here? I had to see you again.
Your mother .
.
she's gone.
I know, Dad.
Ellie's mum told me.
She was happy that you were away with your friends.
That was important to her.
That you were happy.
I should have done more to protect her.
We got separated and I didn't know where to look.
It's not your fault.
It's theirs.
They're bad people, Lee.
They wouldn't even tell me where they buried my wife.
I want to pray with her, but I don't even know where she is.
I don't know how to live without her.
And you? Are you all safe? Please stay far away from here.
I will.
We have a plan in the works.
Lee, please Wirrawee is our home.
We can't let them destroy what's ours.
I'll find a way to get us together.
I know you will, Dad.
Dad? Thanks for teaching me about music.
I have to go.
(CRIES) I love you, son.
I love you too.
MAN: Everyone, on the truck.
WOMAN: Everybody, now.
Where are they taking you? Getting my farm back.
Good luck, Jack.
And you, George.
DANIEL: What did he say? He's going home.
What? Out you get, George.
- Where are you going? - I'm going inside my house.
They didn't tell you? Tell me what? It's not yours anymore, George.
You're here to farm it for them.
We could crack out a few dance moves at the El Leon de Oro in Cuba.
I always wanted to do that before my hips gave way.
You're such a great dancer, Cor.
Why don't we do that, sweetheart? For your eighteenth? Spend time in Havana.
Mum? - Mum? - Corrie? Corrie.
Baby.
It's me.
It's me.
It's Mum.
I'm here.
I'm here, baby.
I'm here.
Shh.
HOMER: You can change your mind.
No-one will hold it against you.
ROBYN: Don't forget I was very good, brilliant, in the Christmas pageant.
ELLIE: You were a goat.
Yeah, but I was good.
So glad we're friends.
Me too.
Wear it.
To keep you all safe.
No worries.
Give Lee a hug for me when he gets back.
Tell him I hope he sees his dad.
I saw I saw .
.
I saw you! G'day! Oh, then I saw oh, a bird! - Three birds! In the sky! - Put your hands behind your back! I can show you! Come on, move! (LAUGHS) Hurry up! Thank you! Thank you! Are you OK? Robyn, it's me, Ellie's mum.
- Robyn? - Are they gone? - What? - Don't react.
Just tell me, can the guards hear us? No, they're back at the gate.
Liz? Mrs Linton, we're going to get you out of here.
Is Ellie here? Just outside the fence.
Don't look.
We've got a plan.
What do you reckon? Uh they might send us We overheard the guards say we're leaving at noon.
So soon? Are you OK? I'm alive.
Have you heard anything about Corrie? Nothing.
Give that to Mr Linton to throw.
(QUIETLY) Jack! Jack! We need to get this over the fence.
One shot.
No pressure.
(CHRIS COUGHS) Hey, can we get some water? Please.
(ROCK CLATTERS) We only have an hour.
Know what you have to do? - FI: See you at the bridge, then.
- Yeah.
See you at the bridge.
(SCRAPING) MAN: They want the town hall searched.
The Colonel asked me to cook for him at the house tonight.
MAN: We are relocating! It's the turn of the prisoners.
WOMAN: All of you! Everybody move! Let's go.
JACK: Righto, mate.
We're going.
Hurry up.
Everybody in! We're relocating you.
Quickly! Move it.
Let's go, let's go.

COLONEL LEE: Out of there now! I need you on the northern side of the bridge.
Yes, sir.
Burn everything.
The bridge must be secured.
Lock it down.
(GRUNTS) (GASPS FOR AIR) RACHEL: Are you OK? I'm scared.
You don't know why you are here, do you? This place.
(EXHALES HEAVILY) It's where they bring prisoners to be executed.
Robyn! Robyn! FI: Chris! Any others? ROBYN: Your mum and Fi's dad got out of the truck and ran.
They made it clear, but your dad was shot in the leg.
He's OK, but he couldn't run and they caught him again.
I'm sorry.
You did great.
Did Dad say anything? Not really.
We were all just I didn't see your dad.
Or your mum, Fi.
She wasn't in the camp.
At least we were together, sweetheart.
(SOBS) (WEEPS) I can smell smoke.
We've gotta get out of here.
(ETHEREAL MUSIC) Ellie, we need to go.
When we first arrived here, this was meant to be the beginning of something really great.
We're still alive, at least.
Mum and Dad might be, and your dad.
What they did to Corrie, and your mum But they haven't got us yet.
We've come this far.
We need to keep going.
All the stuff that I've seen .
.
that I can't unsee.
None of us can.
LEE: What do we do now? HOMER: We won't let them crush us.
ELLIE: Let's find some place safe.
There has to be others like us.

And do you remember When we dreamed of Things and places to go We'll stand together and forever Hold on, be strong Things'll be Just like they used to be Where we belong In the time that was before Hold on, be strong Things'll be Just like they used to be Where we belong In the time that was before.
