This excites everyone. Major Hare typing furiously into his keyboard.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Who is he?

MAJOR HARE:

(reading)

Jason Raynott. Born, North London. University of

Manchester...

Georgie nods furiously.

MAJOR HARE (CONT'D)

Converted to Islam as an undergraduate. Last known

whereabouts... flew from Heathrow to Ethiopia on a

tourist visa on 14/4/2016... no trace since.

There is a lot of satisfied exchanged looks between them all.

JAMES:

We're getting somewhere, Lane.

Georgie stares at the erstwhile image of Abu, transfixed.

Georgie is trying to get a Skype connection. She is ringing Cole. Eventually she gets through and

sees an excited, beaming Cole on her screen.

Music ‘3OG3’ out: 10:10:53

GEORGIE:

Got you!

COLE:

At last!

GEORGIE:

Oh the connections so bad here....

COLE:

No, no I can see you! Fantastic. Are you okay?

GEORGIE:

Yeah… yeah, you know me.

COLE:

You had a full check at the hospital?

GEORGIE:

Yes everything’s fine.

COLE:

Levels 14tabilized now?

GEORGIE:

Hum, honestly, I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m as normal as I’ve

ever been.

COLE:

Your text from the hospital said they were taking bloods?

GEORGIE:

Yeah well, that was just you know, a precaution cos of

the dehydration.

COLE:

Did they put you on a saline drip?

GEORGIE:

Yes as soon as I got to the hospital.

COLE:

Any headaches since?

GEORGIE:

No. I’m fine.

COLE:

Look get them to send me your blood results so I can

err, get them to the hospital here for when you get

home?

GEORGIE:

Right stop fussing! I’m fine! Right tell me, tell me you

know, how is everyone? Tell me how you are?

COLE:

We’ve been in panic stations... but I can see you so it

makes me feel a whole lot better.

GEORGIE:

Yeah I’m so looking forward to getting home now.

COLE:

I bet! You look tired.

GEORGIE:

Thanks!

COLE:

(Beat)

I heard about your, your fellow hostage.

Georgie nods.

COLE (CONT’D)

I hope you didn’t have to see any of that.

Georgie gives a little shake of the head.

Music ‘3OG3a’ in: 10:12:08

COLE (CONT’D)

Blasphemy:
10:12:09 Thank God they got you out. Those boys who rescued

you they, they know what they're doing, eh?

Georgie nods again.

COLE (CONT'D)

We owe them a pint or three!

Georgie half nods.

IN:
10:12:27 EXT. GEORGIE'S ROOM. BALCONY. DAY

Georgie looks out to sea.

ELVIS:

Well knock me down with a feather.

Georgie swings around to see Elvis is on the next balcony to hers.

Music ‘3OG3a’ out: 10:12:46

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
12:42 Did you sort this out? So you could be in the room next

door to me?! Cos that is really f***ing creepy and one

hundred per cent you all over.

ELVIS:

That vein thing on your forehead's happening again.

GEORGIE:

(snaps)

What?

ELVIS:

Remember... I told you whenever you used to cry, that

vein thing used to pop up on your forehead.

GEORGIE:

Yeah well I'm not crying. so don't flatter yourself. Okay.

ELVIS:

(reaching out)

Listen Georgie...

GEORGIE:

Elvis No!

ELVIS:

You won't even give me one minute to explain will yer...?

Music ‘3OG4’ in: 10:13:13

Georgie storms inside and slams the door.

IN:
10:13:15 INT. HOTEL. BASE. MOMBASA. GEORGIE'S ROOM. DAY

Georgie comes back in, looks in the mirror, examines her forehead and rubs it.

IN:
10:13:33 ESTABLISHING SHOT OF THE SETTING SUN - DUSK

IN:
10:13:39 INT. RESTAURANT. HOTEL. BASE. MOMBASA. DAY

The next day and Georgie arrives down for breakfast. She sees 2 section at the counter filling

their plates.

BRAINS:

Mmm raisins

FINGERS:

Can you do me some chips?

MONK:

Oh this bacon is, mmmm

BRAINS:

Get in my belly!

FINGERS:

Look at that!

Music ‘3OG4’ out: 10:13:42

GEORGIE:

All right lads?

MONK:

(handing her a tray)

Here Georgie, fill your boots, we're all inclusive.

GEORGIE:

What we got?

FINGERS:

Better than the slop you were having as a hostage.

GEORGIE:

Hey, most of what I had was better than rations! Thank

you.

BRAINS:

(scooping fruit into his bowl)

Fruit and coffee for me.

MONK:

Eye of the needle, klaxon!

DANGLES:

They can do you eggs... any which way you fancy.

FINGERS:

I know, I've got me omelette cooking mate, all the

trimmings.

GEORGIE:

What are the trimmings?

FINGERS:

I think chips! But they won't be as good as they are at

home.

GEORGIE:

Well there's no curry sauce is there.

BRAINS:

Yeah they've got ketchup.

GEORGIE:

No!

Brains points out a bottle of Heinz on the counter.

DANGLES:

You're not putting that on your fruit are you, Brains?

They are laughing as James walks in. He has a serious look on his face.

JAMES:

Lane. Needed.

GEORGIE:

Oh sorry. Boss.

She hands her tray to King and hurries after James.

IN:
10:14:18 INT. HOTEL. BASE. MOMBASA. COMMS ROOM. DAY

James and Georgie are facing Payne, Wray and Hare.

BRIGADIER WRAY:

We think we've located Abu and his cell.

Georgie half nods.

MAJOR HARE:

Credible intel of a gathering... possible council of war.

MAJOR HARE (CONT'D)

Now we don't have a target but while intercepting phone

calls we have picked up several key words that signify

an attack.

CAPTAIN PAYNE:

And all indications are that the attack is imminent.

JAMES:

We're going to join close observations and wait for them

all to be assembled in one place together.

James studies Georgie who nods.

JAMES (CONT'D)

Then we will eliminate the target.

BRIGADIER WRAY:

One option is for special forces to go in and try to send

back images of cell members for you to identify...

MAJOR HARE:

That gonna rely on satellite imagery which is Intermittent

at the best.

He throws a quick look to James.

JAMES:

We could send you out on another mission with them.

Purely for observation, identification purposes. We will

not be engaging.

GEORGIE:

I'll be fine to go boss, if that's what you're asking.

JAMES:

There's not a necessity. Lane.

GEORGIE:

Well it makes logical sense. I can ID them and... the

mission can be completed. It save's faffing around and

sending pictures back and forward.

BRIGADIER WRAY:

Right well we'd like you to pop and see the doctor before

you go. If you're happy to go.

JAMES:

Seriously Lane, no one would doubt your bravery

perhaps you could do without another mission so soon

after...

GEORGIE:

I'm fine. I'll be sat in the back of a truck ID’ing people.

(knowing how to win them round)

Unless you don't think I can do it because I'm a woman...

CAPTAIN PAYNE:

No one is suggesting that...

Music ‘3OG5’ in: 10:15:28

GEORGIE:

(Strong)

Good. Then I best go and pack my kit in readiness.

MAJOR HARE:

It's near the refugee camp so we can use the Kenyan

base there. It's a one hundred and ten per cent safe.

We see Georgie registering this.

GEORGIE:

Okay. The sooner we can conclude this, the sooner I

can go home.

James nods.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

To be honest, this is the best thing that could've

happened. Full stop, sir.
