Smurf and Molly reach the helicopter.

BRAINS (OOV)

Yes Molly!

10:
52:36 EXT. BRIDGE./ EXT. MINEFIELD. AFGHANISTAN. CONTINUOUS

James gasps with relief as Molly and Smurf are both pulled safely

into the helicopter and it starts to fly away.

10:
52:49 EXT. BRIDGE/ MOUNTAIN CHECK POINT. AFGHANISTAN.

CONTINUOUS:

All the boys cheer on Molly as the helicopter flys past with

cries of ‘Come on Molly’.

BAZ-VEGAS

Dawesy!!

JAMES:

(snaps immediately

silencing them)

What she just did there was stupid

beyond belief! She disobeyed a command

and put her life in danger.

The boys are silenced.

CORPORAL KINDERS

Fingers, cover them as they’re moving

up. Rest of you, eyes on.

JAMES:

(to himself)

It was also f***ing awesome.

He is impressed with her.

10:
53:16 INT. AMERICAN-CREWED MERT HELICOPTER.

Molly watches on as the medical emergency response team take

control of Smurf, the enormity of the situation only now fully

hitting home to her.

10:
53:32 INT. CAMP BASTION HOSPITAL.

Molly is standing at the end of Smurfs bed, reading his charts.

Calm. Smurf is lying in an intensive care bed, wired up to monitors,

oxygen mask on, drips going into his arms.

He slowly opens his eyes and takes in where he is. He checks his

legs are still there and sees Molly standing at the end of his

bed reading his charts.

10:
53:47 MUSIC OUT – 1GN11

MOLLY:

Told you you’d live.

SMURF:

Sh*t.

MOLLY:

What?

SMURF:

I thought it was a dream.

MOLLY:

That'll be the morphine. Smurf, what

the hell were you doing in the middle

of a mine field?

SMURF:

I saw someone... I thought they were

planting an IED. It was that kid of

yours.

MOLLY:

Bashira?

SMURF:

Went to take a look. I thought there

was a path that was clear...

MOLLY:

Yeah, what happened?

SMURF:

I looked along the path and right at

the other end there was this insurgent

pointing a rifle at my head.

MOLLY:

Lucky he was a sh*t shot then.

She stares at him. Jackie comes in.

JACKIE:

Molls. Got transport to take you to the

heli-pad if you're quick.

They start to head off.

SMURF:

Molls, I was a dick head. I’m telling

you I've learnt a big lesson. Come here.

Molly walks back to him. He takes her hand.

SMURF (CONT'D)

I'm gonna get myself better, I’m gonna

come back to you.

MOLLY:

Come back to me?

SMURF:

To the platoon. I'm gonna make it up

to you Molls cos I owe you everything.

MOLLY:

Yeah you do, you nut-bar.

SMURF:

I'll never let you down again. I'll

always be there for you.

10:
55:20 MUSIC IN – LET ME DOWN GENTLY

Molly releases her hand from Smurfs. Smurf watches her go,

besotted.

10:
55:31 INT/EXT HELICOPTER.

Molly is in the helicopter heading back to the compound. She

jumps out when it lands and runs towards the compound.

10:
55:45 EXT. COMPOUND.

We see Molly has cuts on her face from the mine explosion. James

is waiting for her looking serious.

MOLLY:

Sir.

10:
55:55 MUSIC OUT – LET ME DOWN GENTLY

JAMES:

If you think you're going to win any

plaudits for that ridiculous and

foolhardy act, you are one hundred per

cent mistaken.

MOLLY:

Yes sir. Sorry sir.

JAMES:

That's what my commanding officer said

to me when I went to retrieve Smurf's

brother.

MOLLY:

Sir?

JAMES:

Having said that, did you hear me tell

you not to go up on that winch?

MOLLY:

No sir.

He looks at her hard.

JAMES:

Then well done Dawes.

MOLLY:

Thank you Sir.

(beat)

I'm not what Smurf said I was. I didn't

deserve that...

JAMES:

I know.

MOLLY:

I might’ve slept with a few people that

I regret...

JAMES:

We all have. It's 2014, not 1914.

Don’t let a bit of name calling put you

off the task in hand. You are an

excellent medic... you're proving

yourself.

Molly smiles at James before walking off towards her tent. She

turns to look back at him, smiling. He watches as she goes into

her tent.

Singing starts from inside the quarters sings.

PLATOON (O.S.)

She's one of the lads, she's one of the

lads... Molly Dawesy, she's one of the

lads...

MOLLY (O.S.)

(shouts out)

Thanks you fuckmuppets!

10:
57:13 MUSIC IN – CAPTIVATE YOU

A laugh and cheer goes up into the night air. James laughs to

himself. He heads off to his tent.

TEASER IN:

10:
57:25 CAPTION: NEXT TIME

JAMES:

Heavily armed insurgents are

controlling the area around the

mountains in the village.

10:
57:29

MOLLY:

Who done this to your face Bashira? Was

it your dad?

10:
57:32

SMURF:

Something about her that smells a bit

rotten.

10:
57:34

JAMES:

You do not involve yourself in the lives

of the locals. They must not become

dependent on you in any way, shape or

form. Do you understand?

10:
57:40

BASHIRA:

You must not go to the mountains

tomorrow.

10:
57:42

MOLLY:

I think she’s trying to warn me about

something.

10:
57:44

JAMES:

Either they’re luring us in or

something else is going to happen.

Remember, stay focused, stay alert,

stay alive.

10:
57:52

JAMES:

Down!

Major missile and gunfire.

10:
57:56

SMURF:

What you doing?!

JAMES:

Dawes! Get down now!
