Our Girl Page #4

If my old girl's right, I'll never get

to see Vegas.

MOLLY:

Your old girl ain't going to be right.

SMURF:

Great, so we're going to Vegas!

MOLLY:

I walked into that one, didn't I?

They laugh. Smurf shows Molly a photo of a woman in a red dress

torn from a magazine.

SMURF:

That is the dress I'm getting you.

Molly looks at the photo.

MOLLY:

(sarcastic)

Classy.

SMURF:

Imagine how good are you gonna look on

my arm wearing that!?

MOLLY:

I'm not gonna be on your arm though,

am I? You're gonna be twenty paces

behind me.

SMURF:

Are you ashamed to be seen out with me?

MOLLY:

Mortified mate.

SMURF:

You'd better cheer up a bit before we

go to the chapel to see Elvis.

MOLLY:

There's only two things wrong with that

Smurf... I ain't marrying you and Elvis

is dead.

SMURF:

Dead? Ah, break it to me slowly... I

didn't even realise he was ill!

James has come in.

JAMES:

I thought you lot were supposed to be

working?

They all rouse themselves into activity.

KINDERS:

Boys... come on. What's the matter with

you?

James looks up to Molly.

JAMES:

Dawes, I need you now.

He turns and goes. Molly climbs down the ladder. Smurf watches

her go, concerned for her.

10:
17:02 EXT. CAMP BASTION. DAY 18.

James is walking with purpose across the camp. Molly is keeping

up. Bastion is being packed up around them.

MOLLY:

(looking around)

They'll be nothing left of the place

soon.

JAMES:

Not long.

MOLLY:

You looking forward to going home,

boss?

JAMES:

No.

MOLLY:

Mansfield wanted to stay in the fob

forever.

JAMES:

Well if you find a moment where you feel

happy...

Molly looks at James and smiles.

MOLLY:

You or Mansfield?

JAMES:

They're waiting for us in the detention

facility, Dawes.

Molly looks taken aback.

10:
17:38 EXT. DETENTION FACILITY. OBSERVATION ROOM. DAY 18.

Molly and James walk into a small area outside the detention

facility where Taj and Qaseem are waiting for them. Along with

American officer, Major Morley. Molly braces up.

JAMES:

Major Morley.

MAJOR MORLEY:

As you were. The three insurgents have

now been questioned and certain

information gleaned.

We believe Badrai has fled to a Taliban

stronghold in the mountains. The

insurgent who struck you... you have

no idea who he is?

MOLLY:

No.

MAJOR MORLEY:

Are you sure about that?

MOLLY:

Sir.

MAJOR MORLEY:

He knows you.

Molly looks stunned.

MOLLY:

Me?

Major Morley turns on a screen and we see a freeze frame of Zemaray.

MOLLY (CONT'D)

I don't know him. What's he said?

Major Morley presses play on the footage of Zemaray talking to

the investigators.

ZEMARAY:

(through the monitor, in

Pashto – 10:
18:23)

I am saying nothing.

QASEEM:

(translating on monitor)

I am saying nothing.

MAJOR MORLEY:

(on monitor)

Why did you attack that British medic?

QASEEM:

(in Pashto on monitor –

10:
18:28)

Why did you attack that British medic?

ZEMARAY:

(in Pashto – 10:18:33)

She has ruined everything, it is all

her fault, even Bashira.

MOLLY:

Did he just say Bashira?

Beat. Major Morley turns to Qaseem.

QASEEM:

He's saying you have ruined

everything.

MOLLY:

He knows me?

QASEEM:

(nodding)

It would seem so. He keeps saying it

is all your fault... even Bashira.

MOLLY:

So he was just saying Bashira! He knows

her?

QASEEM:

Yes.

JAMES:

He won't identify himself or give us

any information. Just that it's your

fault...

MOLLY:

(turning to Major Morley)

Sir, permission to talk to the

detainee?

JAMES:

I really don't think that's a good idea,

Dawes.

MOLLY:

If it's my fault Sir he can look me in

the eye and tell me.

MAJOR MORLEY:

He might reveal more.

James is clearly anxious.

MAJOR MORLEY (CONT'D)

He's been restrained. Let's see what

happens.

MOLLY:

Are you gonna tell him I'm coming in?

MAJOR MORLEY:

No. Element of surprise. You go in

there, sit in the chair opposite and

look at him. If he says nothing, simply

and calmly ask him why it's your fault.

MOLLY:

Yes sir.

MAJOR MORLEY:

Nothing's going to happen to you. You

ready?

Molly nods.

MAJOR MORLEY (CONT'D)

Count to ten and follow us in.

Major Morley disappears inside the cell with Taj. James turns

to Molly. Beat as they look at each other. She is clearly anxious.

After ten seconds she heads into the container.

10:
19:58 INT. DETENTION FACILITY. CELL. DAY 18.

Zemaray sits behind a table, his feet and hands bound. Taj and

Major Morley stand facing him in each corner. Qaseem stands behind

him in a corner.

The door opens, Molly walks in and sits in the chair opposite

Zemaray. James waits by the door.

Molly stares expressionless at Zemaray who then stares angrily

back at her. Molly holds his stare. Silence. Zemaray is the first

to look away.

ZEMARAY:

(in Pashto – 10:20:26)

She has torn my family apart.

QASEEM:

(translating)

She has torn my family apart.

Qaseem continues to translate as Zemaray speaks in Pashto. Molly

doesn't take her eyes from Zemaray. When Molly speaks Qaseem

translates into Pashto.

MOLLY:

Have I?

QASEEM:

(in Pashto – 10:20:32)

Has she?

ZEMARAY:

(in Pashto – 10:20:37)

My sister has been taken and my father

hunted. Hunted like an animal!

QASEEM:

My sister has been taken and my father

hunted. Hunted like an animal!

MOLLY:

(stunned)

Badrai is your father?

QASEEM:

(in Pashto – 10:20:51)

Badrai is your father?

ZEMARAY:

(in Pashto – 10:20:53)

Everything was fine until the

Americans and British came and tried

to kill us.

Qaseem translates.

QASEEM:

He’s saying 'Everything was all fine

until the Americans and British came

and tried to kill us.

MOLLY:

Bashira is your sister?

ZEMARAY:

(now starting to speak

English such is his fury)

Not any more! You corrupted her with

your pens and sweets.

MOLLY:

What do you mean?

ZEMARAY:

(broken English)

I mean you no right destroy my country.

I mean you no right destroy my family.

Zemaray tries to stand and lunge towards Molly. Molly doesn't

flinch. Taj forces him back into his chair.

MOLLY:

I ain't scared of you.

Zemeray stares at Molly for a long time before finally speaking.

ZEMARAY:

We will be revenged. My father will

avenge our honour.

MOLLY:

How?

ZEMARAY:

Bashira. She will pay for her sins.

MOLLY:

She's safe.

ZEMARAY:

Not any more.

Molly for the first time looks away from Zemaray and to Qaseem.

They both look worried.

10:
22:26 EXT. DETENTION FACILITY. CELL. DAY 18.

Molly, James, Taj, Major Morley and Qaseem and walking at speed

down a series of corridors.

MAJOR MORLEY:

Badrai's clearly on his way to Kabul...

JAMES:

(anxious)

And he has explosives with him.

He's likely to be planning a

significant terror attack.

MOLLY:

We mustn't let him anywhere near

Bashira.

MAJOR MORLEY:

We won't. A contact has provided Intel

on the vehicle Badrai is likely to be

travelling in and will inform us when

he's underway.
