GEORGIE:

And you would do anything for me?

ELVIS:

Yes.

GEORGIE:

Then find Abu and neutralise him.

He stares at her as she leaves.

IN:
10:31:48 INT. DINGY TEA DRINKING PLACE.

Abu and Al-Shwadify are sitting at a computer searching for information.

ABU:

What if they’re onto me... Worked out my target?

Music ‘5OG12’ out: 10:32:00

AL-SHWADIFY

How can they have worked it out when it's only up

there?

Abu nods, slightly reassured.

IN:
10:32:07 INT. RESTAURANT. MANCHESTER. NIGHT

A small select dinner the night before the wedding. Georgie and Cole sit at the centre of a large

table. Grace, Max, Marie, Fingers, Lulu, Faith, Gary, Nan and a couple of Cole's colleagues from

the hospital, Dr Weston, best man and Dr Park, usher. And Captain James is there.

There is a bar area towards the back of the restaurant and we can see the rest of 2 section have

gathered at the bar, Dangles, Brains, Mansfield, King and Monk. Not invited but at the bar

anyhow. James is trying to quieten them down.

Close protection at the door. Everything under their watchful gaze.

JAMES:

Ssshhh. Ssshh… Boys behave.

(as he heads over to Georgie)

So sorry… they followed me here….

GEORGIE:

Oh don't be silly it's fine, they're not doing any harm?

COLE:

(laughing)

No it's just an intimate pre wedding dinner!

JAMES:

Oh err, I can get shot of them if you want.

COLE:

Yeah.

GEORGIE:

He's kidding. No it's fine.

COLE:

No it's fine I'm joking.

JAMES:

It's weekend leave before Syria, so…

Mansfield comes over with a huge tray of shots and puts them on the table.

MANSFIELD:

Here we are then, here's a little somert to liven up the

party!

He winks at Lulu.

MAX:

Pass 'em down! Gary. Gary. Long day tomorrow.

Max roars, clearly well in drink.

MONK:

(who's wandered over with Mansfield)

Anyway guy's. Lets get these down our gullets and don't

worry, there on Dangles tab!

GEORGIE:

Thank you Dangles.

MAX:

Are you ready everybody? One. Two. Three.

(knocking one back and banging his

chest)

I love that burning sensation.

A roar goes up from the bar as 2 section down some shots. James pushes 2 section back

towards the bar as Max stands and taps the side of his glass for quiet.

MAX:

Lords, ladies and gentlemen... If I can have a bit of hush.

GEORGIE:

Dad. Dad. Sit down.

MAX:

Unaccustomed as I am…

Cole looks at Georgie.

NAN:

I thought the speeches were for tomorrow?

MAX:

Yeah well the proper speeches is tomorrow... but I've

just.... I've got that sorted and it is moving and brilliant... I

just wanted to say tonight, with the coming together of

two families...

Max takes out some hand written sides of paper, his clearly prepared 'impromptu' speech.

GRACE:

(gesturing he's been drinking)

It's the Tequila ...

MAX:

(reading)

No seriously, life is full of ups and down... pigs and

troughs...

(reading from his notes)

Our beloved daughter Georgie is marrying Faith and

Gary's son Jamie. Georgie is the most remarkable,

brave, beautiful... woman any of us will ever meet. I

mean what she's done most of us would of crumbled, I

know I would. And now I look at her, proud dad I know,

but sorry...

Max is clearly emotional and is choking. Everyone goes 'ahhh'.

GEORGIE:

Dad please...

MAX:

Hey how often do I get a chance to say in public how

proud of you I am, how much I love you and how it broke

my heart when I thought of you in that cage with ... Yeah

I know sorry. And I would have swapped places in a

heart beat if I could of done because you don't deserve

that... you only deserve love. And how lucky are we all

eh? She's back! Home and you've got us to look after

you and take care of you for ever more.

GEORGIE:

With Jamie's help dad!

MAX:

(turning to Cole)

Look after her lad.

COLE:

I will do, sir.

MAX:

Right well that me done. Cheers.

NAN:

Oh caught me unawares there. I've not cried since

February when I got that big gas bill.

IN:
10:35:25 INT. RESTAURANT. MANCHESTER. NIGHT

Cole and Georgie having some time together as everyone leaves.

COLE:

I can't believe you're leaving me to manage my parents

alone tonight.

GEORGIE:

You can't see me before the wedding. It's tradition.

COLE:

Well I'll just have to see you at the alter then.

GEORGIE:

Well I'll be the babe in the veil hurtling down the aisle.

Music ‘5OG13’ in: 10:35:41

COLE:

I'll be the cool dude in the corner pretending not to be

massively over excited.

IN:
10:35:41 INT. GEORGIE'S BEDROOM. THE LANE'S HOUSE. MANCHESTER. NIGHT

Georgie in her bedroom. We see the TV on. Local news in the background.

NEWS REPORTER:

(on television)

The hunt continues for a man wanted in connection with

terrorist offenses. Jason Raynott who's twenty one, is

thought to be in the Greater Manchester area. Police say

that if spotted, Raynott shouldn't be approached. Anyone

who thinks they know of his whereabouts should contact

the Police Immediately!

On Georgie. Troubled. Her phone buzzes a text. It is from Elvis. It reads 'Got the news on?'. She

presses 'Yes', and sends to Elvis. Very quickly her phone pings a reply. She reads, 'You okay?

xx'

Music ‘5OG13’ out: 10:37:07

She reads and starts to text. 'What you up to? Xx' She thinks about sending then deletes it again.

She throws the phone onto the bed. It pings a text. She picks up her phone and reads 'Love you'

and then realises it's from Cole.

IN:
10:37:02 INT. GEORGIE'S BEDROOM. THE LANE'S HOUSE. MANCHESTER. NIGHT

Middle of the night. Georgie tries to sleep but is clearly fitful.

She sits up when she hears a noise. She looks around frightened but assumes it is nothing and

lies down again.

Music ‘5OG14’ in: 10:37:29

We see the curtain billow as if the window behind has been opened. Georgie turns away and

faces the wall, trying to sleep.

Suddenly she feels a hand clasped tightly over her mouth and face, stopping her screaming. She

is viciously swung around and sees Abu's face inches from hers.

ABU:

You really think you can stop me? Nothing can stop me!

Georgie, desperate to breathe, struggles for her life. She bites down hard on his finger and in that

moment of release she is able to scream out.

IN:
10:37:42 INT. GEORGIE'S BEDROOM. THE LANE'S HOUSE. NIGHT

Max comes in and stares at Georgie, who is sitting up in bed trying to compose herself.

MAX:

Hey. Are you alright. What happened?

GEORGIE:

(mumbles)

MAX:

(sitting on the bed)

Bad dream?

GEORGIE:

Yeah. Oh just ignore me.

Georgie nods and finds herself getting tearful.

MAX:

(hugging her)

Hey… Don't be daft.

GEORGIE:

Yeah but I am after daft aren’t I? You should know me

by now!

Music ‘5OG15’ in: 10:37:53

Music ‘5OG14’ out: 10:37:56

MAX:

Georgie. He'll be there. I guarantee it.

Georgie looks at him.

MAX (CONT'D)

He's a good lad. Now you bound to be worried after what

happened last time. That's understandable Jamie's mad

for you. He's properly madly in love with you. I've never

seen anybody dote on someone as much as he dotes on

you.
