Right lads, we’ll take over.

James continues to issue orders to his troops.

GEORGIE:

(examining the wounded)

Hi sir…. Hi can you here me? Can you tell me your

name? Right. I'm gonna get you to a Dr. as soon as we

can okay.

(to medic)

Put pressure there for me yeah. Push down! Push down

yeah.

KICKI:

We have to take his blood pressure.

(faux calm)

I have been in this camp for ten years. Which I think

beats your seven minutes.

GEORGIE:

I was worried aright? If we moved him he would of bled

out..

KICKI:

Not moving them would have resulted in a bullet in the

head. For them as well as us.

Georgie half nods.

GEORGIE:

We've got morphine so we can give him pain relief until

the doctors arrive.

KICKI:

(scoffing)

Doctors?

(with a little shake of her head)

We… we treat them as best we can until it's safe to get

the most seriously injured to hospital.

GEORGIE:

Where are the doctors?

KICKI:

Gone.

GEORGIE:

Gone?

Music ‘1G11’ in: 10:26:05

KICKI:

(snaps)

German doctor was taken hostage last week and the

rest of her team withdrew to the hospital in the city.

Georgie clearly looks shocked.

KICKI (CONT'D)

That's the reality...

(reading her name tag)

Lane.

NAFULA:

Kicki we need you. We have a head trauma that I don’t

understand.

Kicki hurries off to deal with a patient leaving Georgie staring after her.

IN:
10:26:29 EXT/INT. KENYA. ROADWAY TO TEMPORARY BRITISH ARMY BASE/TRUCK. DAY

Georgie is in the back of the truck with the guys. She looks to Kenya... a world she has never

encountered before.

IN:
10:26:45 EXT. TEMPORARY BRITISH ARMY BASE. DAY/NIGHT

Dusk.

The trucks arrive at base.

The base, consisting of canvas tents for sleeping, eating, communication, etc. is pretty much

constructed. The perimeter up and being guarded by Kenyan Army.

The Kenyans have erected all their facilities just within the boundary and so totally enclosed in

the centre of the base, is the British camp.

There are the sleeping quarters for each section, a med-tent, cook house, latrine and shower

'block', all canvas.

In the centre is an open fire that King is very much in charge of. We see the rest of the platoon

sitting or standing around, exhausted and somewhat shell shocked, chatting…

Music ‘1G11’ out: 10:27:13

MONK:

What, from the fire? Why would you have it from the

fire?

We see Georgie finishing her silver bag of scoff. She bins it and heads towards the med tent.

GEORGIE:

Right night lads.

ALL:

Night / Good night.

MONK:

(as Georgie passes him)

Language 10:
27:22 Give us a shout if you get lonely, sugar tits.

JAMES:

Monk!

Georgie stops and walks slowly back to Monk.

GEORGIE:

(whispers into his face)

Language 10:
27:35 I don't want you to think I'm a humourless, northern

bird... But one more comment from you and I will inject

you with a serum that'll make your cock shrivel to the

size of your brain.

Before he can retort, she's gone.

FINGERS:

You just got told!

Monk stares at a laughing Fingers.

OSMAN:

She can handle herself.

JAMES:

Oh yeah, she is good.

IN:
10:27:50 INT. MED-TENT. TEMPORARY BRITISH ARMY BASE. NIGHT

Georgie is lying on her bed, skyping Cole.

GEORGIE:

Like everything's a bit out of control.

COLE:

My grandparents went to Kenya and said it was lovely.

GEORGIE:

Well we're in the bit of Kenya that I doubt your

grandparents came to!

COLE:

Can't be as bad as Afghan.

(suddenly anxious)

Can it?!

GEORGIE:

Erm… It's... It's different.

COLE:

(concerned)

Are you okay?

GEORGIE:

Yeah miss you.

COLE:

I miss you too. Look tell me everything's alright out

there.

GEORGIE:

Maybe I can do something good.

BRAINS:

Medic, are you decent?

GEORGIE:

I've gotta go, Okay. Love you.

COLE:

(clearly desperately anxious)

All right. Stay safe.

She tries to smile and closes her laptop.

GEORGIE:

Yeah come in.

Brains comes in.

BRAINS:

Sorry to disturb you medic, have you got any pain

killers?

GEORGIE:

Yeah, yeah. What's the matter?

BRAINS:

Oh I've just got a headache. It's the heat and lack of

sleep...

Georgie throws him a bottle of water, and hands him some tablets.

GEORGIE:

All right, keep hydrated, yeah?

Brains smiles and starts to head out. He stops.

BRAINS:

I just wanted to check you were okay. You know, what

with Kicki and that... I thought you were one hundred per

cent right if that's any help.

GEORGIE:

I'm fine, thanks Brains.

BRAINS:

You know, under 'normal circs' we shouldn't have moved

those people until they'd been assessed.

GEORGIE:

Well I don't think that 'normal circs' exist round here.

James comes in.

JAMES:

Everything alright here Brains.

BRAINS:

Yes boss, sorry boss.

Brains heads off. Georgie carries on sorting her kit for the day.

JAMES:

Is everything alright?

GEORGIE:

Yeah. Yeah. I'm just getting everything ready for

tomorrow. Do you think it's safe to leave supplies in the

camp?

JAMES:

Well we can ask Kicki about that in the morning.

GEORGIE:

Well she has been here for ten years, boss.

JAMES:

I know! I imagine six weeks is gonna feel like a life time

to us.

She nods.

JAMES (CONT'D)

It's good to have you on the team though. I was worried

you might say 'no' because of the friends I keep.

He raises a knowing eyebrow.

GEORGIE:

He's not Voldemorte! You can actually mention his name

you know.

JAMES:

Well it was horrible and I think Elvis could have handled

it better.

GEORGIE:

It was the best thing that never happened to me.

James smiles.

JAMES:

Have you heard from Elvis at all... caught up on his

news?

GEORGIE:

Nope. Honestly boss, I'm just not interested.

JAMES:

Language 10:
29:43 Look I know he's a complete tosser but...

GEORGIE:

But he's your mate, I know.

JAMES:

Yeah he's a good mate. Not a good boyfriend obviously

but as a mate...

GEORGIE:

(shutting this topic of convo down)

Can we, can we just get on with the tour?

He looks at her quizzically.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

I realise he's your mate but can we just shut the door on

yesterday, please boss?

James nods. He makes her right.

JAMES:

Get some shut eye. Tomorrow may well be momentous.

IN:
10:30:06 EXT. MED-TENT. TEMPORARY BRITISH ARMY BASE. NIGHT

James leaves the tent.

Music ‘1G12’ in: 10:30:10

IN:
10:30:14 FLASHCUT: EXT. MANCHESTER REGISTRY OFFICE. DAY

Georgie alone in her bridal gown she turns and sees Elvis standing there smiling. She rushes to

Lane stirs from her dream and realises where she is.
