10:29:21 INT. AL SHABAAB COMMS ROOM. DAY

Georgie heads inside leaving Kicki on guard. She rifles through papers, unable to take it all in.

We see glimpses of floor plans of some sort of shopping centre. Odd photo's. Some sort of poppy

imagery that Georgie hurries past not really registering.

Georgie is taking in everything, as quickly as she can, so much so, she is not able to register fully

but we get glimpses of it. She studies the maps and tries to see what she can on the lap tops.

KICKI:

(desperate)

We need to go! What's the point of this?

GEORGIE:

Knowledge is power, Kicki... no one ever told you that?

There are DVD's on a DVD player. Georgie flicks through the DVD's trying to glean as much

information as possible in a matter of moments.

IN:
10:30:80 EXT. AL SHABAAB SAFEHOUSE. DAY

Spunky checks the coast is clear and then Elvis makes his way to the vehicle to install a tracker.

SPUNKY:

All clear good to go.

ELVIS:

All eyes on me. Tracker on vehicle.

Spunky hears an engine.

SPUNKY:

Alfa one, vehicle and two tango’s inbound.

Elvis is lying underneath the truck as suddenly the gates of the compound open and another truck

pulls in. Two new Al Shabaab men in the truck shout to the other two men who are unloading the

weapons cache. A horrifying development.

Elvis has managed to secure the tracking device and freezes under the vehicle. We see the other

guys lying low on the wall telling Elvis to stay put.

ELVIS:

(whispers into helmet mic)

Language 10:
30:57 Zero Alfa do not engage. Repeat do not engage remain

out of sight. If we kill 'em there's no f***er to take this

truck back to where they're holed up. Hopefully with the

primary.

Elvis watches them move away; it is clear to whisper into his mic.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

(whispers determined into helmet mic)

This tracker's leaving here! Has everyone roger-ed that?

SPANNER, SPUNKY & JACKSON

Alfa one acknowledged. Alfa Two acknowledged. Alfa

Three acknowledged.

Call to prayer in: 10:31:53 out: 10:31:59

The four Al Shabaab men are now loading the remaining weapons into the back of the first truck.

We see Elvis lying low underneath.

One Al Shabaab gets in the truck and starts up the engine.

We see the look of fear on Spunky, Spanner and Jackson's faces.

SPUNKY:

(into mic)

Boss, we're gonna need to break cover or you're gonna

be pancaked.

ELVIS:

(into mic)

Do not engage. Wait out!

As one of the Al Shabaab men shuts the tailgate, Elvis shoots him in the head.

The other three Al Shabaab, now alarmed alerted and animated, shout and holler, grabbing their

weapons. Before they can engage, Spanner and Jackson have taken two of them out leaving the

driver in the truck, he starts the engine and races out of the compound. Elvis able to roll away just

in time and watch the truck speed out of the open gates of the compound.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

Good work fellas. Owe you a beer or five.

10:31:54 EXT. AL SHABAAB COMPOUND/INT. AL SHABAAB COMMS ROOM. DAY

Kicki is all eyes. Suddenly the chanting stops. Kicki freezes, not sure what to do. Slightly

panicked, she taps on the door.

KICKI:

(panicked)

Georgie! Georgie! The praying has stopped.

Georgie looks up, stuffs something in her pocket and hurries out to Kicki.

GEORGIE:

Lets go! Come on.

Georgie nods and steers Kicki around the side of the building and they hide behind a wall of

tyres.

GEORGIE:

Get down.

Georgie has eyes on the entrance.

Kicki, now shaking with fear, is being held by Georgie.

KICKI:

(whispers tearfully)

They're going to kill us.

GEORGIE:

(shaking her head)

We stay here until we get our opportunity.

KICKI:

What opportunity?

GEORGIE:

Night fall... the next prayer call, then we are going to

make our escape.

Kicki looks at her somewhat skeptically.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Oy. Oi. Hey… We're getting out of here, Okay. One

hundred percent I'm getting you back to the refugee

camp.

Georgie holds her as they stay dug in.

IN:
10:32:50 EXT. OUTSIDE AL SHABAAB SAFEHOUSE/ARMY TRUCK. DAY

Elvis and Spunky are studying the tracking monitor.

SPUNKY:

(reading the sat nav style kit)

Tracker heading due east.

IN:
10:32:50 EXT. ARMY TRUCK. DAY

The truck has stopped as the soldiers try to find a signal.

ELVIS:

Where is the signal Spunks…

SPUNKY:

(reading the sat nav style kit)

Got it sir… Three kilometres due east. Stationary… Must

be at their base.

ELVIS:

Let’s move.

IN:
10:33:26 EXT. AL SHABAAB COMPOUND. DAY

We see Gaani and Abu outside the empty cell. They discover the broken door and sees they

have gone.

ABU:

Find them..

We follow him as he passes the comms room. He briefly looks inside then up and around. He

sees the pile of tires. Stealthily he creeps towards it and c*cks his gun.

ABU (CONT'D)

And now I kill you.

Georgie and Kicki look up and stare down the barrel of Abu's gun.

A voice behind Abu stops him.

GAANI:

We do it at sundown. Give them time to release our

men. If not, then you can kill them.

Abu turns and nods.

Music ‘2OG12’ out: 10:34:04

GAANI (CONT'D)

Lock them up and secure the door.

IN:
10:34:15 EXT. AL SHABAAB COMPOUND/INT. CELL. DAY

Abu throws them inside. Abu padlocks the door.

ABU:

(as he bolts he calls in through the bars at

the door window)

Sundown.

GEORGIE:

Keeping us alive is a braver thing. Alive we're worth

something... dead we're worth nothing.

Kicki remains sprawled on the floor in pain. Georgie picks herself up and approaches the door.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

(whispers)

Look please... Please we can stop all this now.

ABU:

Will never stop. That's what you can't understand, you in

the west.

GEORGIE:

In the west?

ABU:

Language 10:
34:46 F***ing U.K. then.

GEORGIE:

What… You don't see yourself British at all?

ABU:

Language 10:
34:57 Britain... That's just soil. Land. People thinking it's

something special... bullshit.

GEORGIE:

Every where’s just soil.

ABU:

Language 10:
35:15 But not Muslim lands. They exist because of us... us

Muslims. And the American's and Brit's and Israeli's

think it's fine to bomb God out of us. That can never

happen. Can it? Think about it! You can't bomb God!

F***ing idiots!

Music ‘2OG13’ in: 10:35:18

GEORGIE:

What about your family?

Abu looks puzzled.

ABU:

What do you mean?

GEORGIE:

Well.. must hurt! You not been able to convert them?

ABU:

No they were too stubborn.

GEORGIE:

I'm sure they don't want to see their boy to this war.

ABU:

(impassioned)

It's paradise! But they wouldn't listen! The Prophet

Muhammad said that everyone will see God on the Day

of Resurrection, as easily as one can see the sun when

there are no clouds. There will be no sickness, pain,

sadness or death there. The Prophet Muhammad said

that there are things in Paradise that no eye has seen no

ear has heard and no human mind has thought of.
