COLE:

(stunned)

What?

GEORGIE:

(beat)

I'm sorry I wasn't here for you.

COLE:

Don't be daft. Don't be daft. I turned them down anyhow.

GEORGIE:

For me?

COLE:

For us.

They hug.

COLE:

Don't worry, it's gonna be alright.

Georgie stands on the table having another fitting.

Music ‘4OG14’ out: 10:32:14

LULU:

Language 10:
32:15 Why don't you just ditch this bullshit.

GRACE:

Language!

LULU:

She hears shots and scream outside.

10:32:20 INT. SHOPPING CENTRE. DAY

Georgie in her bridal gown comes running out of the shop to be confronted by the sight of

shoppers being picked off by a masked gun man blasting them. Other shoppers run around

screaming adding to the utter confusion and chaos.

People lie down as Georgie, in her flowing wedding dress, sees someone lying on the floor, shot.

GEORGIE:

(screaming at everyone)

Right everybody Get down! We need an ambulance.

10:32:30 INT. COLE'S APARTMENT. MANCHESTER. DAWN / DAY

10:32:34 INT. SHOPPING CENTRE. DAY

Suddenly she comes face to face with the masked gun man. She pulls down his mask. It is Abu.

He fires at her. At the sound of the gun shot and the impact of the bullets hitting her...

10:32:43 INT. COLE'S APARTMENT. MANCHESTER. DAWN / DAY

Georgie sits up in desperate panic realising it's been an horrific lucid nightmare. Sweating and

gasping for breath, Cole sees the state she's in and holds her in his arms as she weeps.

COLE:

It's okay, I'm here.

GEORGIE:

I'm sorry.

Her mobile rings. She reaches out to pick it up. It's ELVIS

Music ‘4OG16’ in: 10:33:05

COLE:

Who's Elvis?

GEORGIE:

Yeah he's one of the boy's… Part of my rescue.

COLE:

So, why do you call him Elvis, has he got a bit of a quiff

going on?

GEORGIE:

You know what the boys are like in the army... they've all

got weird nick names for each other.

COLE:

He's persistent. You should get that.

Cole heads out of the bedroom grabbing his clothes and leaving Georgie to answer the phone.

GEORGIE:

Go on…

IN:
10:33:35 EXT. STREET. MANCHESTER. DAWN / DAY

Elvis alone is on the phone to Georgie.

ELVIS:

(into phone)

It say's they know what part of my section as part of the

counter terrorism op... cos I've had experience of dealing

with Abu.

10:33:40 INT. COLE'S APARTMENT. BEDROOM. DAWN / DAY

Georgie on the phone.

GEORGIE:

(into phone)

Yeah well you didn't do a very good job did yer... you let

him get away.

IN:
10:33:45 EXT. STREET. MANCHESTER. DAWN / DAY

Elvis on the phone.

ELVIS:

(into phone)

Yeah well I'm going to be incommunicado for the

foreseeable. But you've got five minutes to buy me a

brew if you fancy it.

IN:
10:33:49 INT. COLE'S APARTMENT. BEDROOM. DAWN / DAY

Georgie on the phone.

ELVIS:

I'll meet you in the Cafe on Fortune Road fill you in on

what's occurring.

GEORGIE:

Polish cafe?

ELVIS:

That’s the one.

GEORGIE:

Okay. Alright bye.

ELVIS:

Bye.

IN:
10:34:07 INT. POLISH CAFE. FORTUNE ROAD. DAY

Georgie and Elvis sit in an alcove. Drinking tea. Georgie looks anxious. We see close protection

in a corner, surreptitiously keeping an eye on the situation.

ELVIS:

Well it's turning out to be err, North West's biggest

peacetime operations. Emergency medical room, fully

kitted out. Seventy beds. All police on active duty.

Several thousand troops on stand by. You get the gist!

GEORGIE:

(troubled)

All based on my ramblings.

ELVIS:

No, based on a radicalised extremist roaming around the

area.

GEORGIE:

Yeah well the shopping centre was all my intel.

ELVIS:

Listen they have contingency plans for multiple sites to

be hit simultaneously.

We're expecting a number of terrorists, not just Abu.

(nodding)

Shopping centres being an obvious potential target, as

well as any crowded public places.

Georgie looks around outside. People. Busy streets.

GEORGIE:

(with a little shake of the head)

There's just so many options.

ELVIS:

Exactly. CTC are preparing for a situation where they hit

up to ten targets at the same time.

GEORGIE:

Right so the shopping centre is just one on the list...

ELVIS:

Your intel is just be one small part of a whole... now stop

worrying.

He smiles at her reassuringly.

ELVIS (CONT'D)

(quietly)

I do know what's going on inside your head.

GEORGIE:

You reckon?

ELVIS:

(calm and sensitive, looking into her eyes)

I know.

GEORGIE:

You pay, I am going to the loo.

Elvis is at the till paying. After a beat we see Cole looking in through the window. He pushes open

the door. Elvis looks up and half smiles, not knowing who Cole is.

COLE:

Alright mate?

ELVIS:

Not too bad, yourself?

COLE:

Yeah what's the breakfasts like here?

ELVIS:

Best Polish breakfasts this side of Kiev.

COLE:

Language 10:
35:34 Listen I don't mean to sound ungrateful... and I am very

grateful you saved Georgie in Kenya… maybe now's

maybe now's time you get the f*** out of our lives.

Cole faux smiles to Elvis.

ELVIS:

Language 10:
35:40 Who the f*** do you think your talking too?

The two men are starring at each other.

WOMAN BEHIND COUNTER

Sorry love. You paying for both?

COLE:

No. I'll get these.

Cole hands a £20 note to the lady. Just as Georgie re emerges. She takes in the scene slightly in

horror.

GEORGIE:

What's going on?

COLE:

Oh it's just a little thank you to Elvis for saving your life.

Yeah I'm buying you breakfast. Come on Georgie, let's

go.

Georgie hurry outside. Elvis is left in a state of amazement. The lady hands him the change.

IN:
10:36:00 EXT. PARK. DAY

Georgie and Cole are watching the ducks on the lake. At a suitable distance we see close

protection officers, monitoring.

GEORGIE:

We used to come here every Sunday, with my nan.

COLE:

To feed the ducks...

GEORGIE:

Apparently your not allowed to give ducks bread

anymore

(Cole nodding)

I'm feel the guilty now.

Music ‘4OG17’ in: 10:36:14

COLE:

(looking at her)

Got anything to feel guilty about?

GEORGIE:

What?

COLE:

Did anything happen between you and Elvis out there?

GEORGIE:

Jamie no!

COLE:

Was he the one that didn't turn up to the altar?

Georgie stares at him, not sure what to say.

COLE (CONT'D)

Oh my I knew it!

GEORGIE:

Jamie...

COLE:

I know everything you've been through.

GEORGIE:

I know.

COL:

I was always there for you, support you, everything...

GEORGIE:

Yes, I know. Look you've been brilliant.

COLE:

Brilliant!

GEORGIE:

Yes.

COLE:

Brilliant, brilliant, just not brilliant enough that you

wouldn't have lied to me!

She takes the shame.

COLE:

Georgie the lying is too much
