to single out a man of the match,

(Turns to Lane. Nods.)

It would go to Lance Corporal Lane.

GEORGIE:

Thanks boss.

FINGERS:

You've always had a thing for the medic, boss.

JAMES:

Strike one, Fingers.

FINGERS:

Sorry.

JAMES:

Her interventions led to the arrest of several Al Shabaab

figures in there today...

IN:
10:53:29 EXT. SIDIQ DWELLING/AMBULANCE. DAY

Georgie and James are at the back of the ambulance. The injured Al Shabaab man is now in the

Kenya Crisis Care ambulance.

GEORGIE:

I'll need to go with him, boss. If he crashes and there's

no-one medical in the ambulance...

JAMES:

You realise he's Al Shabaab, Lane?

Georgie half nods.

GEORGIE:

I, I need to keep him stable... get him to the hospital

alive.

James nods.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

We can't just let him die, boss whoever he is.

James sees King talking to 2 section a little way off by their truck. He heads over.

JAMES:

Kingy, get em all loaded up, we're escorting the

ambulance to hospital.

KING:

(puzzled)

Boss?

JAMES:

Lane's can't do this on her own. Mansfield, jump up front

in the ambulance. King in front of truck with me. Eyes on

the ambulance throughout. Let's go!

Good luck Lane.

We see the Kenya Crisis Care ambulance hurtling though the town. The army truck in close

escort behind. Mansfield constantly looking at the army truck behind.

10:54:06 INT. KENYA CRISIS CARE AMBULANCE. DAY

Georgie is dealing with the Al Shabaab patient, continually checking all his signs are good.

GEORGIE:

Right that's all done...

Her mobile pings. She looks at it and sees it is Cole sending a text. It reads, "Seven kids? xx"

The monitor starts to beep, frantically. Georgie jumps on the patient and starts to hand pump his

heart.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

(desperate)

Language 10:
54:22/25 Sh*t. F***.

MANSFIELD:

You alright back there Georgie?

GEORGIE:

He's crashed on me.

MANSFIELD:

Anything I can do?

GEORGIE:

(continuing to heart massage)

Language 10:
54:31 F*** all, mate. Let's just get him to the hospital ASAP

MANSFIELD:

Right, come on put your foot down.

Music ‘1G18’ in: 10:54:32

Georgie looks at the patient and knows it's all a bit pointless. He has died but Georgie won't give

up.

IN:
10:54:36 EXT. TOWN/ROADBLOCK. DAY

The ambulance through the streets, narrowingly missing several cars and lorries.

MANSFIELD:

Slow down. Slow down. Watch out. Move… Get to the

right. Get to the right.

The ambulance speeds past a lorry. The army truck cannot get past.

IN:
10:54:54 INT. ARMY TRUCK. DAY

James watches as the ambulance speeds past the truck.

JAMES:

What’s he doing?

KING:

No idea.

IN:
10:54:55 EXT/INT. TOWN/ROADBLOCK/ARMY TRUCK. DAY

The ambulance speeds past the roadblock but the lorry gets stopped. The army truck slams it’s

brakes on.

FINGERS.

What is going on?

KING.

Is everybody okay?

JAMES:

Captain find out what is going on.

Osman leaps out of the back and starts yelling in Swahili to the soldiers.

OSMAN:

(In Swahili)

Ma jeshi fungua bara bara tupite lazima tufike spitali!

Translation:
We need to get through! Kenyan Army - let us through now!

The soldiers immediately start to wave the army truck through.

IN:
10:55:25 EXT. KENYA CRISIS CARE AMBULANCE/EXT. TOWN. DAY

A 4x4 pick up truck vehicle suddenly swings in front of the ambulance. The ambulance is forced

to stop.

MANSFIELD:

What's he doing?

JAMES:

No idea

Georgie turns and sees Al Shabaab men including a masked Abu and Zeki open fire on the

ambulance. Mansfield pulls his weapon but before he can fire he is shot in the side.

The Al Shabaab guys start shouting in Somali and pointing into the back of the ambulance.

Georgie stares horrified - as Mansfield slumps forward.

ZEKI:

(In Somali)

Wakana. Wakana.

Translation:
He is here. Here he is.

The Al Shabaab open up the back doors of the ambulance and shout that they have found their

man. They check, find he is dead and shout between themselves in Somali. They start to point at

Georgie as they talk.

ZEKI (CONT'D)

Let's take the doctor

Zeki grabs her and with the others they drag her away. Georgie is dragged out of the ambulance

and thrown into the back of the 4x4.

The Al Shabaab get into their vehicle and speed off before the army truck arrives

We see Georgie surreptitiously feeling for her dog tags and tugging them off so they slip inside

her clothing.

Abu and Zeki are sitting in the open back of the 4x4 with Georgie as they disappear into the

countryside.

The Al Shabaab fighter c*cks his rifle. Georgie begs for her life.

GEORGIE:

A mask is put over her head.
