(holding her hands out in front of her and

staring at them)

You know every day I look down and I can imagine it...

STELLA:

So sorry...

GEORGIE:

(with a growing anger)

My arms were chained, so high, the pain was so intense

that I wanted to give up. I had boots on my head, their

hands all over my body...

STELLA:

But they rescued you...

GEORGIE:

Yeah. But you know. I wonder if err Abu... Jason... If he

would of.... I wouldn't have these thought in my mind

you know....

Georgie stares at her.

STELLA:

Do you think he's evil... I mean do you think there's no

hope, that he's just pure evil?

Music ‘5OG05a’ out: 10:18:13

Georgie considers the question looking directly at Stella.

Music ‘5OG05a’ in: 10:18:27

GEORGIE:

(gently)

Yeah.

Silence. They both sit, almost exhausted by it all.

IN:
10:18:36 EXT. SAFEHOUSE. STREET. MANCHESTER.

The road is cordoned off and a cross section of Manchester society are being held back by the

considerable police presence. Everyone wants to catch a glimpse of the safehouse that the police

have just raided. At the back of the crowd we see Abu watching, from a safe distance, he turns

and walks away.

IN:
10:19:03 INT. POLICE STATION. MANCHESTER. DAY

Georgie sits at the desk. Elvis come in with two mugs of drink. Elvis sits on the desk.

Music ‘5OG05a’ in: 10:18:40

GEORGIE:

Thank you. Right so go on.

Music ‘5OG06’ out: 10:19:09

ELVIS:

Well… they're analysing every little flicker.

GEORGIE:

What upstairs?

ELVIS:

(nodding)

Psychologists working with Counter Terrorism.

GEORGIE:

Anything else

ELVIS:

They found a phone that Al-Shawadify has been using.

GEORGIE:

And?

ELVIS:

Photos of potential targets.

GEORGIE:

Including my wedding?

ELVIS:

No. You're about to be called in to see the Brig anyway

though.

GEORGIE:

Why?

ELVIS:

Wants to err on the side of caution. Get you to move

your wedding back a day or so.

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
19:35 Oh piss off.

ELVIS:

I'm being serious.

GEORGIE:

Yeah on the back of your recommendation?

ELVIS:

I'm only thinking about you.

Music ‘5OG07’ in: 10:19:40

GEORGIE:

Language 10:
19:41 No you're thinking of yourself, you’re a f***er.

Georgie is on the laptop. Cole is talking to Faith on the phone.

Did you hear that mum? Grace is calling round to all the

guests... yes the honeymoon is booked... Look Georgie

say's it's for everyone's safety, yes. Mum, Mum, Mum

I've got to go... I love you. Bye.

He puts down phone and smiles at Georgie.

COLE (CONT'D)

How you doing?

GEORGIE:

Err yeah. Just about ready.

We see Georgie is on Facebook and searching someone out. We see she is studying Saira's

Khoury profile.

COLE:

Okay cool. We've got to go.

Georgie pings Saira a private message, the message reads "Hi Saira, My name is Georgie Lane

and I'd really like to talk to you about Jason Raynott. I hear from his mother that you knew him at

university:
I'm in Manchester and I'd love to meet you. Please contact me on 07700900882.I hope

to hear from you soon. Georgie."

Cole is driving.

Music ‘5OG07’ out: 10:20:23

COLE:

Alright close your eyes.

GEORGIE:

No.

COLE:

Go on.

Georgie closes her eyes. Cole swings the car onto the drive of a house. A pleasant if somewhat

suburban modern detached house.

COLE (CONT'D)

Open. What do you reckon?

GEORGIE:

This is Wayne Rooney's house?

COLE:

I know, but it could be ours.

GEORGIE:

What?

Georgie, in amazement, gets out and follows Cole to the door. Cole turns as waves to the

protection officers who have pulled up over the road.

IN:
10:20:51 INT. HOUSE. DAY

The door opens.

VENDOR:

(Putting out her hand)

Hi

COLE:

Nice to see you again.

VENDOR:

Lovely to see you again... erm shall I just leave you to it

then?

COLE:

Yeah thanks. We'll have a look round.

GEORGIE:

Thank you.

Georgie thrilled, surprised

GEORGIE:

(whispers)

Oh. It's so much bigger than on the internet!

COLE:

This was the one you picked right?

GEORGIE:

Yeah

COLE:

Dream house! Yeah?

GEORGIE:

Wow. It's frigging massive.

COLE:

We need 'frigging massive' with all the kids we're gonna

have.

Looking out towards the huge garden.

COLE (CONT'D)

(laughs)

See all they need now is a goal in the garden.

We see Cole's excitement. We sense Georgie's anxiety.

GEORGIE:

I just err, can't imagine myself living in a place like this

y’know….

COLE:

I know, it's amazing isn't it?

GEORGIE:

Yeah, it is beautiful. Wow the gardens huge.

COLE:

Well we'll get a gardener.

GEORGIE:

What am I gonna… be a lady who lunches?

Music ‘5OG09’ in: 10:21:35

COLE:

(half beat)

It is what you wanted, isn't it?

GEORGIE:

Yeah.

COLE:

Yeah

GEORGIE:

Yeah, of course it is. Just think... I'll have to do

something else... you know, for me.

The lady vendor appears.

LADY VENDOR:

Would you like a coffee?

COLE:

Yes… Lovely, thanks!

She disappears inside. Georgie's phone rings.

GEORGIE:

Oh sorry I just need to get this, yeah.

COLE:

Yeah.

Cole nods and heads into the house. Georgie takes the call as she heads upstairs.

Georgie is emerging through the back entrance to the block and heading off down a cutting taking
