COLE:

HmHum!

GEORGIE:

Hmhum!

Music ‘4OG06’ in: 10:10:38

They laugh and kiss, a happy bundle.

GEORGIE:

Why don't I come? I've been wanting to go to London for

ages.

COLE:

You really wanna come?

GEORGIE:

Huhmm… yeah. Don't worry I won't get in your way.

Cole shrugs. Georgie grabs him for a little dance.

IN:
10:11:07 INT. TRAIN. DAY

Cole asleep. Georgie is looking out of the window as the train slowly starts to pull into Euston.

IN:
10:11:39 INT. EUSTON. LONDON. DAY

Cole and Georgie are about to head off separately.

GEORGIE:

I'll see you at St George's at four? Yeah?

COLE:

Yeah. Don't be late.

GEORGIE:

Always on parade punctually. Good luck. You'll smash it.

COLE:

Thank you.

Georgie strides off with purpose. We see Cole heading off but continually looking back at

Georgie, checking she's heading off.

IN:
10:12:01 INT. CAFE. EUSTON. DAY

James is sitting at table as Cole brings over two coffees. Cole sits down.

COLE:

Thank you for agreeing to meet me.

Music ‘4OG06’ out: 10:12:09

JAMES:

Not a problem. I'm at the MoD today anyway so..

COLE:

(nodding)

Well, it's good to put a face to a name, Georgie's spoken

a lot about you.

JAMES:

Well she's a, a vital member of the section.

COLE:

(firmly)

Who now needs a rest to get herself better.

Beat. James holds Cole's stare.

COLE (CONT'D)

Look you do understand she's ill, don't you? I don't want

her agreeing to go back to work if all it's going to do is

worsen her condition.

JAMES:

We understand her situation. She's constantly being

assessed by the army psychiatric team. Look we have a

duty of care...

COLE:

So do I, Captain James.

Captain James nods and continues to hold his stare.

JAMES:

Well how can I help?

COLE:

I'm here to make sure it's Georgie the army put first.

We're getting married and I don’t... well, we're getting

married.

JAMES:

My wife is a serving soldier.

COLE:

Who's suffering from PTSD?

JAMES:

I only meant that marriages can work even if one is in

the army and away on tour.

COLE:

Georgie shouldn't be contemplating going on tour. She

needs complete rest.

Cole holds James' stare now.

JAMES:

I think you and I both know it'll be her who decides what

she wants to do and when.

James studies an emotional Cole.

COLE:

You shouldn't be putting those ideas into her head!

JAMES:

Look! I'm not just her commanding officer... I also

genuinely care what's best for her.

Music ‘4OG07’ in: 10:13:26

COLE:

Blasphemy:
10:13:32 Thank God you got her out of there.

JAMES:

Special Forces boys did most of the work.

COLE:

I wish I could thank 'em. So what... Were they Kenyan or

British or…?

James stares realising Georgie hasn't said anything.

COLE (CONT'D)

What are you not allowed to say?

IN:
10:13:55 EXT. HOUSE. NORTH LONDON. DAY

We see Georgie surreptitiously watching a house.

Across the road she sees Elvis with Laura and Debbie.

DEBBIE:

Say good bye to daddy, now Laura.

ELVIS:

Got to go to mummy now.

DEBBIE:

Come on, off we go. Say bye bye.

As Debbie heads off Elvis sees Georgie across the street, there eyes meet. Georgie turns and

rushes off. Elvis chases after her.

ELVIS:

Georgie! What you doing here?

GEORGIE:

Elvis it doesn’t matter now!

ELVIS:

What did you want?

GEORGIE:

I shouldn’t have come.

Georgie stops and stares at him.

GEORGIE:

(slightly crumbling)

What am I doing?

ELVIS:

Hey, talk to me…

GEORGIE:

I'm imagining things... I'm, I'm seeing people that aren't

there...

ELVIS:

Who do you think you've been seeing?

GEORGIE:

Well he's dead. so it can't be him.

ELVIS:

Abu?

GEORGIE:

(angst)

Yeah.

Elvis now stares at Georgie, a little concerned.

GEORGIE:

What?

Georgie stares at him, aghast.

IN:
10:15:32 EXT. PARK. DAY

Georgie sits with Elvis on a bench.

Music ‘4OG07’ out: 10:15:34

ELVIS:

Just after the air strike, the Kenyans went in to find DNA

evidence... trying to identify who'd been neutralised.

GEORGIE:

(still in disbelief)

How could he survive? The place was obliterated.

ELVIS:

That's the thing, they found very... impressive network of

tunnels underneath the dwelling.

GEORGIE:

So he escaped?

(incredulous)

Really?! We let him escape?

ELVIS:

We didn't let him escape.

GEORGIE:

So he's smarter than the British Army?

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Blasphemy 10:
15:50 Oh my God… Every time I close my eyes at night I see

him. His face and when I do manage to get to sleep he's

always there...

Georgie shakes her head, not wanting to go into detail.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

I'm losing it, aren't I?

ELVIS:

No your not.

Music ‘4OG08’ in: 10:16:04

GEORGIE:

Well he's not really following me, is he.

Elvis looks at her.

ELVIS:

There is no way he's got back into the UK. Trust me! I

will report in your sightings but try to...

GEORGIE:

So it's, so it's all my imagination.

ELVIS:

Yeah.... See he tried to kill you, didn't he? He killed a

fellow hostage. It's natural that you feel a bit shaken,

anyone would. Alright?

Georgie nods.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

Good.

She suddenly looks at her watch.

GEORGIE:

I've got to go.

ELVIS:

Go on…

GEORGIE:

(standing)

See ya.

Georgie heads off. He watches her go.

ELVIS:

See you later…

IN:
10:17:05 INT. LECTURE THEATRE - ST GEORGE'S MEDICAL SCHOOL. LONDON DAY

Cole has finished his lecture and the students are excitedly buzzing around him, asking

questions.

We see Georgie standing at the back having sneaked in. She watches him with pride. He sees

her, beams at her and beckons her over. She smiles and heads across.

COLE:

Thank you for coming.

STUDENTS:

Thank you.

GEORGIE:

You smashed it.

COLE:

Oh I haven't been that nervous since I asked you to

marry me.

A professor, Judy Lowe, comes over. Early 30's.

COLE (CONT'D)

Judy, this is my partner Georgie.

GEORGIE:

Hi.

JUDY:

I've obviously heard all about you...

COLE:

(explaining to Georgie)

Judy and I trained together.

JUDY:

What an ordeal you've been through.

Georgie double takes.

GEORGIE:

Err so you work here, then?

COLE:

She studied here, now she's back tutoring.

JUDY:

Can't keep me away.

COLE:

Sometimes Georgie tutors the new recruits at Pirbright.

GEORGIE:

Yeah the thing you know with trainee doctors is they

listen? Unlike the squaddies.

JUDY:

Yeah but you can make them listen or it's solitary

confinement and fifty lashes.

Georgie stares at her for a moment. Cole looks a little anxious.

A moment as Georgie looks at Cole. An awkward silence.

COLE:

Err… Judy invited us back for a little, err… reception in

the staff room.

JUDY:

Oh nothing too grand. Finger buffet. Extended to all

guest speakers. And their plus ones of course.

COLE:

I don't think I've ever made it into the staff quarters.

They all have a little nervous giggle. Georgie clocks Judy resting her hand on Cole's arm.
