IN:
10:28:42 INT. GEORGIE'S BEDROOM. HOTEL. DAY

Georgie is in her room. Her lap top buzzes an incoming call. She sees it is Cole. She clearly isn't

sure whether to answer it. Eventually she does.

GEORGIE:

Hi... how are you?!

COLE:

Hey, I've been trying to get you for ages. Has it not been

ringing?

GEORGIE:

No. You got me now, so.

Music ‘3OG9’ in: 10:29:16

COLE:

So what you been up to?

GEORGIE:

Nothing.

COLE:

Looking after yourself?

GEORGIE:

Hum! Yeah.

COLE:

Good stuff. What's that noise... you're not having a party

are you?

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
29:34 Oh it's from the beach. That's the sound of the finest

fighting force, feared across all continents... Getting

pissed out of their tiny minds, building a human pyramid.

Go figure.

COLE:

Well that's exactly where I'd be if I was out there.

GEORGIE:

Where?

COLE:

On the beach, partying.

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
29:46 Hum! Can't be arsed.

COLE:

Come on. Get out and try and relax.

GEORGIE:

No. I'm tired.

COLE:

I'll look after you when you get home.

Georgie stops talking. A moment as they both look at each other.

The moment is broken as Grace and Max suddenly rush in to the room with Cole and Georgie

smiles as their faces fill the screen.

GRACE:

Oh look, there she is! Oh there's our girl.

MAX:

How are you, Georgie eh?

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
30:03 Oh, don't come to close, you'll bloody scaring me to

death!

They all laugh.

GRACE:

Oh. We've been in a right state, haven't we Max?

MAX:

Been worried sick, love.

GRACE:

Blasphemy:
10:30:11 Yeah. Thank god we've had Jamie here, keeping us

calm.

Grace strokes Cole's face.

MAX:

He's been above and beyond this lad.

We close in on Georgie, watching the scene from her own home.

COLE:

That's true.

(Laughs.)

GRACE:

Oh love yer.

Georgie nods and smiles.

IN:
10:30:21 EXT. GEORGIE'S BALCONY. DUSK

Georgie is sat on the hotel balcony. She is pensive and lost in her own thoughts. Close up we see

her crying.

IN:
10:31:01 EXT. BEACH. DAY

Georgie arrives on the beach and is greeted by two section who are playing football.

Music ‘3OG9’ out: 10:31:06

BRAINS:

Hello mate…

GEORGIE:

Hi.

MONK:

Come on babe… Come and get the ball…

GEORGIE:

No, you guys carry on.

BRAINS:

Come on show us your mad skills.

The ball rolls over to her, she stops it and kicks it back. 2 Section cheer.

GEORGIE:

Not a bad kick…

Monk black flips… 2 section cheer. Then they get back to playing football. One of them then does

a handstand.

MONK:

What that, a handstand…

IN:
10:31:27 EXT. BEACH. DAY

Later. Georgie is lying on a sun-bed, sleeping. Everyone else plays around in high spirits. Close

on Georgie.

Music ‘3OG9a’ in: 10:31:34

BRAINS:

Ten points…

INTERCUT WITH:

IN:
10:31:47 FLASHBACK: INT. CELL. AL SHAABAB COMPOUND. DAY

Georgie is staring at Zeki as he points the gun at Kicki. A horrifying moment in time frozen in

Georgie's mind and is the stuff of her nightmares.

As Zeki slowly pulls the trigger, Georgie looks more and more horrified.

We then hear the bang, shockingly loud. On Georgie's face as she struggles to take in breath.

Panicked.

IN:
10:32:00 EXT. BEACH. DAY

Georgie sits up gasping for breath. Her heart racing. She tries to compose herself. She looks

around to see if anyone noticed her panic attack. No one seems to have.

Fingers is heading over with a beer.

Music ‘3OG9a’ out: 10:32:06

FINGERS:

Do you want a bevvy?

GEORGIE:

No ta.

FINGERS:

You not a beer drinker?

GEORGIE:

I'm sophisticated... I drink gin and tonic, thanks!

FINGERS:

Is that sophisticated, is it? My nan drinks gin and she's

got a face tattoo. Shame we can't get in the sea.

They look at the armed Kenyan guards patrolling the waters edge, and up top looking down at

them.

GEORGIE:

Health and safety.

FINGERS:

Yeah maybe. Can't imagine one of these boys jumping

in to save a drowning Brit.

GEORGIE:

No.

FINGERS:

You alright?

GEORGIE:

Yeah!

Georgie lies down on the bed and shuts her eyes. She doesn't want to talk.

IN:
10:32:49 EXT. BEACH. DAY

Georgie is now sitting up on her bed looking at the sea. She sees a rickety motorised fishing boat

bobbing just off shore. And a man walking up the beach.

IN:
10:32:01 EXT. HOTEL. BASE. MOMBASA/BEACH. DAY

Elvis, Spanner, Spunky and Jackson are sitting on their kit, ready for the off.

James arrives from the hotel.

JAMES:

Right guys. Truck just here to take you through security.

ELVIS:

Nairobi calling boys.

Elvis looks thoughtful.

The mini bus pulls up outside the hotel. Spunky, Spanner, Jackson and Elvis start to move their

kit towards it.

Music ‘3OG10’ in: 10:33:09

ELVIS:

I'll catch up.

Elvis turns from the mini bus and looks out to sea. He heads back to the wall and looks down to

the beach, looking for Georgie.

Georgie is sitting on her sunbed as the boys continue with their high spirited game.

ELVIS:

(shouting down)

Georgie!

Georgie turns and looks. She see Elvis.

Elvis, looking almost tearful, blows her a gentle kiss and throws it to her.

Georgie stares back at him and then turns her head. A moment.

ELVIS:

(calls)

I'm sorry.

Elvis still looking down at Georgie.

Clearly emotional, he turns from the beach and starts to head back to the mini bus.

As he does so they hear screams and shouts from inside the hotel. They all look somewhat

confused. The shouts and screams get more frantic and then a little burst of gun fire.

FEMALE:

Stop it. Somebody stop him! No stop him! No please

help! Stop him!

THIEF:

Simama hapo! Nitakupiga risasi, nitakupiga risasi,

Simama!

Translation:
Stop there! I will shoot you! I will shoot you! Stop there!

The man Georgie saw walking up the beach is now in one of the hotel rooms stealing things.

Georgie ears pricked, is sitting up on her bed anxious about what's occurring. The armed guards

on the beach have had radio communication and are frantically running towards the boat and the

second young man.

Georgie watches as panic sets in. Suddenly bullets are firing everywhere. In seconds the beach

security fire up at the furtive young man. He stands on the wall and starts to fire back.

JAMES:

Georgie, get down…

KINGY:

Get to cover. Get down!

GEORGIE:

Take cover!

PARA:

Get in cover! Get in cover ahhhhh

The furtive young man, now desperate and feeling trapped fires seemingly randomly. Hits one of

the para’s in the leg.

Elvis hears Georgie's voice.

ELVIS:

Language 10:
34:39 SH*T… Georgie?

MONK:

(screams from the beach)

MAN DOWN!

BRAINS:

(screams from the beach)

MAN DOWN!

Suddenly the furtive young man sprints out of the hotel runs to the guard tower and picks up an

AK47 and starts firing randomly.

Georgie watches as people are running and screaming, sudden panic. Bullets thudding into the

rock just missing Georgie as she watches everyone fleeing every which way. Panic and

confusion.
