An increasingly anxious Cole turns as he sees Max coming in and walking down the aisle alone.

Grace waits at the church entrance. Max, increasingly emotional with every step until he arrives

at Cole.

MAX:

I'm sorry, lad.

Cole races out of the church.

IN:
10:46:26 INT. AUDITORIUM. MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY. DAY

Abu stands with the detonator in his hand, he is sweating as he looks across the room at Saira.

Abu turns as sees Georgie. It is now or never. He moves forward pointing the gun in the air and

firing. Screams and pandemonium as people scatter and Abu drags Saira onto the stage.

ABU:

(screams)

Allahu Akba! Allahu Akba! Nobody move. No body move

or I will blow this place up... No one move.

Elvis and Georgie stalk their way to the front.

GEORGIE:

(stepping forward)

Abu, Abu... let her go.

Abu turns and sees Georgie. It takes him a few moments to compute. Elvis desperate, but can't

shoot with the hostage and Georgie in danger.

SAIRA:

Jason, please.

ABU:

You think this is about you?! It's not about you, it's about

God!

Saira stares, thrown.

ABU (CONT'D)

Language 10:
47:03/05 It's f***ing typical you and your f***ing privilege think it

is!

Abu stares, thrown.

GEORGIE:

Abu… Let her go...

Abu swings around to Georgie, his eyes possessed once again.

ABU:

(possessed and waving the gun around)

Inshallah I am being a good Muslim by blowing up the

kaffar.

SAIRA:

I took you to the mosque... always there for you. They

wouldn't want you to do this, you know that don't you

Jason.

This pulls Abu up, momentarily. He puts the gun on Saira's temple.

ABU:

I'm not Jason any more.

Georgie moves towards them.

GEORGIE:

Please. Please.

Georgie touches Saira's arm and tries to pull her away. Abu grabs Georgie and puts the gun to

her temple freeing Saira. SO15 arrive on the balcony and take their position.

SOLDIER:

In position boss.

ELVIS:

No hold your fire and wait for my signal. No collateral,

repeat no collateral.

Georgie watches as Elvis edges inch by inch closer to him.

Abu holds the chord attached to his vest, showing them he means business.

ABU:

Inshallah. Inshallah. Inshallah.

ELVIS:

(suddenly stepping forward and yelling)

Abu Jaseer.

GEORGIE:

Elvis…

There is a split second where Abu turns and stares at Elvis.

ELVIS:

Why don't you be a man, you let the female go...

(into mic)

Engage!

On this command, Jackson fires a single bullet that thunders into Abu's head, splattering Georgie

with blood. But Abu fires simultaneously at Elvis, hitting him.

As Abu crashes to the ground. Georgie looks at the dead figure of Abu before she turns and looks

for Elvis and suddenly realises for the first time he's been hit. She moves towards him.

Music ‘5OG19a’ out: 10:48:22

GEORGIE:

(screaming)

ELVIS! Contact! Gunshot wound, right abdomen, get me

an ambulance.

SO15 immediately start to properly evacuate the place. Others rushing towards Elvis and Abu.

Panic and screaming intensifying.

Students and families are swarming out of the auditorium screaming as military, police and

paramedics swarm in.

IN:
10:48:33 EXT/INT. AMBULANCE. DAY

Elvis, wired up and being infused, drips everywhere. An anxious Georgie can't do anything but

stare at him. He opens an eye and looks at her.

GEORGIE:

I knew you'd pull a stunt to stop me getting married!

Music ‘5OG20’ in: 10:49:04

ELVIS:

You're here though aren't yer? All is well with the world.

She kisses him, gently caressing and somehow incredibly intimate.

IN:
10:49:47 EXT. CHURCH. DAY

The lone figure of Cole is still there amongst the graves. We see a figure heading towards him, it

is Georgie. She sits down beside him. Silence.

GEORGIE:

Elvis got shot. He's in the hospital.

COLE:

(with a half smile)

Maybe I could finish him off on my next shift.

GEORGIE:

It's not him though is it...? No one's turned my head,

Jamie. I'm just not the settling down type. I'm sorry I

really wanna but...

COLE:

Can't seem to manage it?

Georgie nods. She rests her head on his shoulder.

GEORGIE:

Yeah...

James gets up and walks away. Leaving Georgie feel very sad, she turns to see him leaving.

IN:
10:53:05 INT. THE LANE'S HOUSE. MANCHESTER. NIGHT

Georgie comes in. She sees Lulu and Marie sitting on the stairs.

Music ‘5OG20’ out: 10:53:10

MARIE:

(whispers)

Georgie. You're about to be court marshaled.

She points into the sitting room where Max and Grace are waiting. She braces herself and heads

inside.

IN:
10:53:19 INT. THE LANE'S HOUSE. SITTING ROOM. NIGHT

Georgie walks in. Grace stands and hugs her.

GRACE:

Oh. Oh come here love. It's all, it's all right.

MAX:

(reaching out and taking her hand)

Are you alright?

GEORGIE:

You must hate me.

GRACE:

What you talking about? We love you so much Georgie.

MAX:

Well I mean we're getting used to this... it's not like it's

the first time is it?

Music ‘5OG21’ in: 10:53:44

And amidst the tears, a little smile.

GEORGIE:

I didn't plan for this to happen. I mean, when I woke up

this morning... I thought I'd be a married woman by now.

GRACE:

Maybe it's not for everyone.

GEORGIE:

Maybe not so.

GRACE:

So what will you do now Georgie?

MAX:

I guess you're heading off to Syria? Come here.

Georgie hugs them both.

IN:
10:54:35 EXT. REFUGEE CAMP. DAY

Establisher.

At the entrance of the med centre Nafula is working. She sees a Kenyan Care Trust mini bus

arrive and some volunteers disembarking. Nafula looks and sees Georgie getting out of the jeep.

Nafula looks amazed. She hurries towards her through the throngs of people. Georgie looks up

and smiles.

GEORGIE:

Hi

NAFULA:

It's you. Hi…

GEORGIE:

Hi. Hi. It is so good to see you Nafula

NAFULA:

And you, I wasn’t sure I would see you again…

As they walk away together the camera slowly moves up as we watch the two women weave

their way through the camp., getting smaller and smaller as they walk and talk.
