ELVIS:

(picking himself up, a sense of urgency)

Right listen in, we need to move. Now.

SPUNKY:

Extraction point by helicopter one click. You fit?

ELVIS:

It has been said, Spunk.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

Listen, I've had eyes on the primary and one other

hostage. She's alive, boys.

Elvis starts to head off. The others watch and follow, knowing he's now on a mission.

IN:
10:48:33 INT. CELL. AL SHABAAB COMPOUND. DAY

Zeki stands over Georgie and Kicki.

GEORGIE:

(whispers intensely)

Zeki, please... alright you can help us. I know you don't

want to kill us...

ZEKI:

They haven't returned our fighters.

GEORGIE:

They will do. I promise you. Please...

Music ‘2OG18’ in: 10:48:43

As she begs, Zeki pushes her away towards the corner. As he does so, he sees something

uncovered that Georgie tries to subtly but swiftly re-hide. Zeki kicks her hand out of the way and

picks up the dog tags. She hurries to grab them back but Zeki roughly picks them up first. She

looks horrified. We see Zeki is studying her military dog tags.

ZEKI:

What are these? WHAT ARE THESE!

GEORGIE:

(desperate)

Give me. Give me 'em back. Give them to me!

ZEKI:

What are these?

GEORGIE:

They're my boyfriends, in the UK.

ZEKI:

These are yours.

GEORGIE:

No... they're not real... they're fake there from... Camden

Market... Please.

She is kneeling at his feet. We can see the fear on Kicki's face as she registers what's going on.

KICKI:

She works with me.

ZEKI:

Stop talking.

GEORGIE:

Zeki, Zeki you're my friend all right.... I can tell the way

you look at me... Please. You don't want to kill like the

others.

ZEKI:

You're army?

GEORGIE:

Zeki, you know... after this... we can be friends.

He half nods. Georgie hangs on to the bars.

ZEKI:

Friends no?

GEORGIE:

(holding out her hand)

Yeah. Zeki Please... Please give me them back. Please.

Please. Please.

Zeki looks down at her.

ZEKI:

(shouts)

Abu... Abu... ??

He moves out holding the dog tags aloft. Georgie and Kicki now look in the pit of despair.

ABU (V.O.)

(screaming)

Abu their soldiers! Abu! Abu their soldiers! Abu!

IN:
10:49:33 EXT. R-V POINT. DAY

Elvis and the guys are sprinting towards the waiting helicopter. They are listening in with alarm

and concern to the bug from the cell.

ABU (V.O.)

Abu their soldiers! Abu! Abu their soldiers! Abu!

ELVIS:

She's been compromised! Lets go!

The others look anxious.

He is holding the dog tags aloft. Georgie and Kicki now look in the pit of despair knows there's

nothing she can do.

ABU:

(reading the dog tags)

Lance Corporal Georgie Lane!

Gaani arrives with Zeki. He takes the dog tags off Abu.

GAANI:

(to Zeki)

You've done well. Zeki.

Zeki beams.

GAANI (CONT'D)

You're a man. A soldier.

ZEKI:

Thank you.

GAANI:

(turning to Georgie)

You… You’re our... prize.

The three of them laugh.

ABU:

(to Kicki)

Are you a soldier too?

(screams)

Are you?!

GEORGIE:

No, no. Please. Please.

Georgie walks towards the gate. Abu moves in and grabs Georgie.

ABU:

(to Kicki)

Are you a soldier too?

Kicki shakes her head.

ZEKI:

You knew she was a soldier!

GAANI:

(hands Zeki a gun and points to Kicki)

Kill her. You deserve to be called a fighter, now kill her.

Zeki takes the gun but clearly looks anxious. We see him swallowing hard.

ABU:

(manoeuvering Kicki)

On your knees. ON YOUR KNEES.

GEORGIE:

She's in, she's innocent. Please! Please!

Kicki, frightened for her life, gets onto her knees.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Zeki, Zeki! Please! Don't hurt her... she's innocent.

Please Zeki!

Georgie tries to place herself in front of Kicki but can't escape his grip..

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

(firmly and authoritatively)

She's innocent! Zeki. Zeki don't do it please!

We see a nervous Zeki trying to steel himself.

BANG! The guns being fired. Abu let's go of Georgie, she moves to Kicki

Elvis, Spunky, Spanner and Jackson listening to the bug from the cell freeze when they hear the

gunshot.

ELVIS:

Gun's fired! We need to move!!

Are we getting air support?

ELVIS:

No time! Nine minutes out. There's already one hostage

possibly shot,

(to the pilot)

Let's go!

The helicopter starts to take off.

We then see Georgie on the ground, cradling a dying Kicki.

GEORGGIE:

Shshsh! It's okay.

Zeki is shaking at what he has done. Gaani and Abu are beaming.

ABU:

Paradise is waiting for you, my friend.

Zeki looks too numb to speak.

ABU (CONT'D)

Now kill the other infidel.

GAANI:

No, we wait. We film her death so that the British can

watch her die in agony.

Music ‘2OG19’ in: 10:51:07

The two of them head off. Georgie strokes Kicki's head, she knows there is nothing she can do.

Georgie gently wipes the blood that comes from Kicki's mouth. Zeki stands then leaves.

GEORGIE:

No. No, you're going to be fine. You're going to be fine.

arms.

Could you hear that... eh! They're coming to save us.

Listen. They’re coming.

KICKI:

Tell Nafula to stay strong.
