Jomo's father?

JAMES (CONT'D)

O Group, Mission briefing zero six hundred.

GEORGIE:

Mission briefing?

JAMES:

Need a combat medic. Full battle.

James starts to head off. Georgie looks stunned.

JAMES (CONT'D)

(turning in the doorway)

Well done, Lane.

GEORGIE:

Thank you, boss.

James goes. Georgie allows herself a little smile of satisfaction.

King has assembled 2 section and Osman's section of Kenyan troops. He looks out and sees

James and Osman hurrying towards them.

KING:

Gent’s, sit up!

They brace up. James and Osman come in.

JAMES:

Relax guys.

They stand easy. Osman activates the lap top that throws an image of a house/dwelling on the

large screen.

JAMES (CONT'D)

We're about to embark on an operation to help Captain

Osman and his men. Kenyan Intelligence have got eyes

on this dwelling.

James gestures towards the screen.

JAMES:

An Al Shabaab dwelling known to be frequented by Mr.

Sidiq among others.

The image changes to that of Sidiq.

OSMAN:

He is well known around camp and has many contacts

there, that's why this morning's operation needs to be

swift... the element of surprise on our side. As the

Kenyan Army always do the morning sweep around the

town, our presence will not be unexpected.

JAMES:

Any questions

ALL:

(mumble)

No sir.

We see Georgie and all the guys listening intently, notebooks ready.

IN:
10:47:36 EXT/INT. TRUCK. DAWN

Trucks head off to town.

IN:
10:47:45 EXT. KENYAN TOWN. DAY

A fairly thriving and busy, bustling town - very alive in the morning. Cars, bikes, mopeds, animals

and people.

IN:
10:47:53 EXT. SIDIQ'S DWELLING. DAY

Two young men are sitting outside at a table, seemingly innocently drinking coffee. But clearly

operating as observation. They look up as they see the first Kenyan Army vehicle approaching.

As the truck turns left the soldiers running behind make their move.

SWAHILI:

(in Somalia)

Kwenda, kwenda”

Translation:

The two men sitting outside pull AK47's from under the table and start firing at the Kenyan

soldiers. Mayhem.

Music ‘1G16’ out: 10:49:09

OSMAN:

(into head set)

Perimeter secure.

James and 2 section know exactly how to search a building. Trained to the n'th degree as they

take their places.

JAMES:

Right we're searching and clearing. Charlie team on me.

Delta, right flank it. Prepare to move, move! Lane. Two

fatalities here and attend to this one.

GEORGIE:

Georgie is treating one of the Al Shabaab men on the ground who has a bullet wound to the

shoulder. She is packing and treating him.

GEORGIE:

Keep your hand press down firmly on your neck for me,

you alright? There we go, keep the pressure on.

IN:
10:49:36 INT. SIDIQ'S DWELLING. DAY

The guys enter the building.

JAMES:

Delta fire team, push up.

They blast the padlock open and head further into the house.

The guys move fast through each room checking it.

SOLDIER:

Clear.

SOLDIER:

Clear.

SOLDIER:

Clear.

JAMES:

Charlie team. Dangles cover this door and Mansfield on

me. Eyes for hostage. Check for captive. Monk on me.

Move. Move Move.

They start to find men in the rooms of the house.

They find Jomo’s father on his knees praying.

SOLDIERS:

(shouting)

Stand up now / Get Up / Put your hands on your head /

Get your hands on your head / Turn around. Now / Now.

Red Cherry. Positive ID.

IN:
10:50:44 EXT. SIDIQ'S DWELLING. DAY

Georgie is treating one of the Al Shabaab men on the ground who has a bullet wound to the

shoulder. She is packing and treating him.

GEORGIE:

Right that's dressed, that should staunch the bleed...

let's give him somert for the pain.

She takes the shot of morphine from her Bergan and injects him.

The Kenyan soldiers start to drag out the captured Al Shabaab. Several other Kenyan police and

army vehicles arriving and the area flooded with troops.

Brains and Dangles arrive outside with a tightly bound Sidiq.

Georgie sees James on the balcony.

JAMES:

Dwelling clear. Lane, need you.

He beckons her to him and disappears inside. Georgie follows him.

IN:
10:51:00 INT. SIDIQ'S DWELLING. DAY

James leads her into a small room where Jomo is sitting in the bath, shaking and weeping

inconsolably. Georgie immediately goes to him and tries to comfort him.

Music ‘1G17’ out: 10:51:09

GEORGIE:

Jomo. Jomo. Jomo. Hey… It's alright... Remember me?

Remember me yeah?

Jomo turns and looks at her. He calms a little and half nods. He looks at James in the doorway

and wails again.

JAMES:

We obviously had to search him in case he was booby

trapped. Hence his distress.

GEORGIE:

It's alright. Your father's alright. I've seen him. He's alive

they're just taking him to the police station.

JAMES:

Does he speak English, Lane?

GEORGIE:

You understand me, don't you Jomo?

Jomo looks at her and shakes his head. Georgie now knows he understands English at least.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

It’s alright. Let's get you looked after. Okay. Where's

your mother?

JOMO:

Dead.

JAMES:

I'll be outside.

GEORGIE:

Alright... We'll take you back to the camp to Nafula. Do

you remember Nafula?

Georgie looks around when she knows they're alone.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

They're looking for a lady... from the camp... Kicki. Do

you know Kicki?

Jomo's look tells Georgie he does.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Was Kicki here?

Music ‘1G17a’ in: 10:51:54

Jomo nods.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Is she still here now?

Jomo shakes his head.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Where was she?

He points down towards the floor.

Jomo leads Georgie downstairs where he takes her into a room. He goes over to the corner

where she pushes over a wardrobe revealing a secret hiding place.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

(shouting)

Boss! Boss!

IN:
10:52:35 INT. SIDIQ'S DWELLING. HIDDEN ROOM. DAY

James, Osman and Georgie look around with their flashlights. It is immediately clear that the

cellar was used as some sort of temporary dungeon prior to the hostage being moved.
