They all look at her with respect and admiration.

IN:
10:15:49 INT/EXT. FARM TRUCK/ROAD. DAY

Osman is briefing the team, his lap top open.

OSMAN:

Close surveillance have been monitoring this house.

Osman pings up the image of a dwelling.

OSMAN (CONT'D)

Al Shabaab activity.

He flicks to photographs of people coming and going. One he freezes on.

He turns and looks at Georgie.

OSMAN (CONT'D)

He was smuggled into the dwelling a couple of hours

ago...

GEORGIE:

I'm sure that's him.

Osman changes image to a much clearer shot of Abu. Georgie's face lights up.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

That's him.

OSMAN:

That's Abu?

GEORGIE:

Yeah.

OSMAN:

One hundred per cent, Lane. No room for error... Can

you confirm that's a positive ID? That's him?

GEORGIE:

Yeah… That's Abu!

The enormity of the task in hand strikes Georgie.

GEORGIE:

Confirm.

Osman nods.

The team climb aboard and the truck heads off.

IN:
10:16:42 EXT. DWELLING. KENYAN BORDER. DAY

The farm truck parks up.

A little distance away we see a building that stands on its own a little way away from other

houses. We recognise it as the dwelling Osman showed on the lap top.

IN:
10:17:04 INT. FARM TRUCK. DAY

We see Osman, dressed in his traditional Kenyan clothing disguise. Alongside him are two other

Kenyan Special Forces in plain traditional clothes.

In the rear, shielded by a curtain are Elvis, Spanner, Spunky, Jackson and Georgie.

OSMAN:

Visitors.

Jackson takes pictures through a spy hole.

Elvis has head phones on listening to activity inside the building. We see Osman also has an ear

piece in.

Osman sees a vehicle approaching the dwelling.

A vehicle arrives with two Kenyan occupants and swings in through the gates which are

immediately shut after them. The cameras click.

Georgie studies the faces of the vehicle occupants on the screen.

GEORGIE:

Okay zoom in.

ELVIS:

What have we got?

GEORGIE:

That's Gaani. He's their Cell Commander.

OSMAN:

Anything on the one on the left?

GEORGIE:

Yeah he was definitely there... But I had no direct

contact with him...

OSMAN:

He's Al Shabaab?

GEORGIE:

Yeah.

Georgie nods.

SPUNKY:

Good stuff, Lane.

She half nods but is looking pensive.

SPANNER:

(quietly)

Hey, don't start feeling sorry for 'em yet, Georgie.

GEORGIE:

I'm not feeling sorry for 'em, Spanner. I'm feeling sorry

for Kicki… Right.

Spunky looks at Elvis who is listening into any sounds coming from inside the dwelling.

SPUNKY:

Picking up anything up yet, boss?

ELVIS:

Nothing sound's too muffled.

GEORGIE:

Any English?

ELVIS:

Don't know it's too hard to tell. We need to get in closer.

Osman is talking in Swahili into his head mic.

OSMAN:

(In Swahili)

Nimemtabua... Sawa.

Translation:
I have identified him... Okay.

ELVIS:

Osman can we get in closer.

Osman shakes his head.

OSMAN:

We know it's him. Lane has confirmed as much.

ELVIS:

Look, not worth trying to find out what their target was,

no?

OSMAN:

(turning)

We want to send in air support.

Osman stares at Elvis.

SPANNER:

The house is on it's own. Boss. No collateral.

Osman talks in Swahili but they all know he's calling in an air strike.

OSMAN:

Ruhusa ya kutumia Jet, Tambua! Bomb.

Translation:
Permission to use the Jet, knowledge! Bomb.

IN:
10:18:34 EXT. KENYAN BORDER. DAY

Elvis, Spanner, Spunky, Jackson and Georgie dug out. See Kenyan jets flying low.

The jets swoop in and obliterate the dwelling.

They all watch as the building gets obliterated.

Music ‘3OG5a’ out: 10:18:49

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
19:07 Sh*t!

KING:

(Laughs)

Jambor!

SPUNKY:

Think that's what they call a bullseye.

Music ‘3OG6’ in: 10:19:11

JACKSON:

All clear.

Georgie is staring at the destroyed building. She nods a satisfied nod. Elvis watches her,

understanding the relief/release she must be feeling.

IN:
10:19:25 EXT/INT. ARMY TRUCK. DAY

Georgie is sat in the back of the truck. Spanner, Spunky and Jackson are looking far more

'mission accomplished' than Georgie. Elvis is very aware of this.

SPUNKY:

(to Georgie)

Language 10:
19:36 That must have felt very f***ing good, Georgie.

Georgie turns and looks at him.

SPUNKY (CONT'D)

Language 10:
19:37 Knowing that twat's been red misted?

Georgie gives a little shake of the head.

GEORGIE:

I'd've preferred him been brought back to the UK made

him face up to what he's done.

JACKSON:

Really?

GEORGIE:

He's got off easy. Over in a second and...

(tapping her head)

I'll have him in there a life time. And that's not right.

Elvis nods, he does understand.

ELVIS:

(quietly)

Oi... He's still gotta face his God, eh?

Georgie looks at him and somehow understands.

IN:
10:20:10 EXT. TEMPORARY ARMY BASE. DAY

Georgie and Elvis jump off the truck with the others but fall in behind them and have a quiet

moment.

Music ‘3OG6’ out: 10:20:21

ELVIS:

It is our job Georgie… You know what I mean. We serve

our country, George. It's what we do.

Georgie half nods.

GEORGIE:

Do you ever doubt why we do it?

ELVIS:

Listen we've both lost people in the past, if I could go

back and save them, I would. But I've never doubted

what I do. And neither should you.

She looks at him and knows he's right.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

We do our duty, don't we? That's what makes us.

GEORGIE:

I need to do something to get closure.

Elvis looks at her questioningly.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

It won't delay us.

ELVIS:

Okay.

GEORGIE:

You don't know what it is.

ELVIS:

You want to go back into the refugee camp and see

Nafula.

Music ‘3OG7’ in: 10:21:00

Georgie stares at him somewhat incredulously.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

Come on what else would it of been? I've read the brief.

And your role in it.

(half beat)

Oi… I'm sure Kicki wanted Nafula to have this…

He hands her Kicki's wristwatch. Put his hand on her shoulder to console her then walks away.

Leaving Georgie to think.

IN:
10:21:28 EXT/INT. REFUGEE CAMP/ARMY TRUCK. DAY

The mass of humanity. The chaos and confusion. The extremes as hundreds of thousands cling

on to life in the most basic of conditions.

NAFULA:

Ya kusafisha... ya kutia gauze...

Translation:
For cleaning... for the gauze..

We see several army trucks swing in.

We see Elvis, Spunky, Spanner and Jackson. They stare out of the truck in something akin to

horror at the scenes they are witnessing.

Elvis looks at Georgie.

GEORGIE:

I know what I'm doing.

ELVIS:

I know.

She looks away and see the Kenya Crisis Care tents.

IN:
10:21:55 EXT. KENYA CRISIS CARE TRIAGE CENTRE. DAY

We see Georgie and Nafula embracing each other. Around them are patients and children all in

for triage.

IN:
10:22:16 EXT. REFUGEE CAMP. DAY

Georgie and Nafula are walking with purpose through the camp. Elvis, Spanner, Spunky and

Jackson on red alert, are guarding them, as they walk.
