Hi Jack 

I would have probably have said for,

'We are going to have to hurry then!' 

'Il va falloir qu'on se dépêche alors !'

using 'on' which then would use the 'se' reflexive pronoun.

Hope this helps!

No! I don't think so   --  The first nous is the subject and the second nous the direct object. "We're going to have to hurry ourselves then".
