GEORGIE (CONT'D)

What is it?

OSMAN:

They've taken Kicki.

GEORGIE:

What do you mean?

OSMAN:

They smashed their way into the Kenya Crisis Care

base...

JAMES:

She's been taken hostage by terrorists as yet unknown.

We need to get down there and calm the situation.

Georgie takes this all in and half nods.

JAMES (CONT'D)

ASAP please, Lane.

GEORGIE:

Boss.

James and Osman hurry out. Georgie jumps out of her pit.

IN:
10:31:10 EXT/INT. REFUGEE CAMP/ARMY TRUCKS. DAY

The army trucks swing into the camp. Georgie sees the line of people queuing at the medical

centre. There is an air of chaos and pandemonium. Great lines of people are queuing up outside

aid workers tents and NGO's try to keep some semblance of order.

Georgie jumps out and looks at the mass of humanity moving around, going about their business.

JAMES:

Right guy's debus. We are supporting the Kenya's with

crowd control. Calm the situation and get these people

away from the Med Centre.

Georgie jumps out. As Georgie looks around we really start to sense people staring at them with

animosity. We close in on Georgie as she stares out. Nafula comes running over, head in her

hands.

JAMES:

Lane.

Georgie sees Nafula heading inside the Kenya Crisis Care Triage Tent. Georgie signals to James

that she wants to follow her. James nods.

NAFULA (V.O.)

How. How can anybody do this?

Georgie follows Nafula inside.

IN:
10:31:57 INT. KENYA CRISIS CARE TRIAGE CENTRE. DAY

The place has been ransacked, everything looted or smashed. Nafula stands amidst the carnage.

NAFULA:

If you guys hadn't have come, maybe none of this would

have happened. Your presence with your guns has

stirred their anger...

GEORGIE:

We're here to help.

NAFULA:

Well it hasn't helped. Everything's ruined! Look... I don't

know how things are ever going to get better. Or how to

carry on any more.

JAMES (V.O.)

Right guys in here now!

Georgie and Nafula stare at each other, Georgie desperate to give her some confidence in them.

GEORGIE:

(gently to Nafula)

We'll bring in all med re-supplies get you back up and

running.

James steps inside. Clearly stunned by the devastation.

Fingers is the first one in, surveying devastation.

FINGERS:

House party carnage!

Georgie gives him a look.

JAMES:

Learn when to keep quiet, Fingers.

Brains, Dangles and Monk come in.

JAMES (CONT'D)

Right you and Monk go get a truck! Bring it down here

and start loading this up and get this place cleared A

SAP, Kingy.

KINGY:

Right fella's you know what to do. Weapons and helmets

down here, lets get this cleared away!

Nafula half nods but still clearly shell shocked. Georgie gently takes her hand as James and the

lads start to clear the debris.

OSMAN:

Lane… Captain James.

Osman comes in. James and Georgie move to join him.

OSMAN:

Intelligence suggesting an Al Shabaab inspired group,

but possibly a break away faction working on their own.

JAMES:

MoD up to speed on all events.

OSMAN:

Our Special Forces out looking already.

GEORGIE:

We've got to get this facility up and running today, boss.

People will die without this care.

James nods, he agrees.

IN:
10:33:08 EXT. KENYA CRISIS CARE TRIAGE CENTRE. DAY

A truck is parked outside and is being loaded with the smashed detritus from the triage tent.

KINGY OS:

In your own time now.

Dangles, Brains, Monk, Fingers, Mansfield and King are just putting the last bits on.

IN:
10:33:21 INT. KENYA CRISIS CARE TRIAGE CENTRE. DAY

The place has been pretty much cleared out by the guys. Georgie has a large broom and is

sweeping up the remains of the debris. Nafula is finishing off cleaning the temporary 'hospital'

beds.

Music ‘1G14’ in: 10:33:28

Georgie sees an old photograph in the pile of rubbish she is sweeping up. She picks it up.

She studies the photo of Kicki and Nafula along with other workers from Kenya Crisis Care.

Nafula comes over and takes it.

GEORGIE:

They've been on to the Swiss Embassy. They're trying to

contact her family...

NAFULA:

But we're her family. I'm her family.

Nafula holds the photograph tight.

NAFULA (CONT'D)

You know this was her life... we we're all that she knew,

all that she cared about. Without her...

Beat.

GEORGIE:

She'll be looking at you to carry on for her. Every minute

of every day, she was saving lives. We're not just gonna

let her life's work go to waste, Nafula.

Nafula half nods.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Let's bring all the supplies in yeah? See as many

patients as we can.

NAFULA:

They took the computer... Kicki and others were working

on a database of patients...

GEORGIE:

How long have you been working here?

NAFULA:

(determined)

Not as long as Kicki, but this is my life too.

Georgie sees something in the pile of rubbish.

GEORGIE:

What's this?

NAFULA:

(picking up a Dictaphone)

Kicki's Dictaphone. Maybe it's not broken.

Nafula fiddles with it, rewinds a bit and presses play. Suddenly the two of them stare, amazed as

they hear Kicki's desperate screams as she clearly begs some people to stop smashing up the

clinic.

GEORGIE:

Is that Kicki!?

Nafula nods as the recording goes on. More horrific screaming from Kicki as we hear the sounds

of her being punched and dragged out... her screams being drowned out by aggressive shouts in

Somali. Nafula stares ahead, tears coming down her cheeks.

IN:
10:35:25 EXT. TEMP. BRITISH/KENYAN HQ, COMMS TENT. REFUGEE CAMP. DAY

James and Osman listen to the recording. Georgie stands with them.

JAMES:

(turning it off)

Thank you, Lane.

Music ‘1G14’ out: 10:35:34

GEORGIE:

Boss. She was dictating notes when they came in. She

obviously had the gumption to leave it running.

JAMES:

Captain Osman will be passing this on to Kenyan

Intelligence.

GEORGIE:

Where is she... what they doing with her?

OSMAN:

Undercover Kenyan Special Forces are imbedded with

Al Shabaab. They'll find out where she's being kept and

we'll do all we can to bring her back alive.

GEORGIE:

You don't exactly sound massively optimistic!

JAMES:

Right. On me.

James nods for her to follow.

James and Georgie see the enormous throng waiting outside the triage tent for medical attention.

GEORGIE:

They're trying to stop a flood with... I dunno... a fishing

net!

JAMES:

(gently)

We're here to do a job, Lane. Let's focus on the task in

hand.

GEORGIE:

(equally gently/fatigued back)

I don't even know what that means any more.

James nods at Georgie to go and assist, before disappearing back inside the comms tent.

Georgie heads over to help Nafula. Nafula looks up as Georgie approaches.

GEORGIE:

What can I do?

NAFULA:

We need to do a quick assessment and divide them into

urgent and non-urgent cases. Urgent on the right and

we'll try to see them today. Life threatening at the front.

Georgie nods.

GEORGIE:

(briefly taking her hand)
