The Ottoman Lieutenant Page #5

Synopsis: A beautiful, strong-willed woman, who, frustrated by ongoing injustice at home, leaves the United States after meeting Jude, an American doctor who runs a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire - a world both exotic and dangerous, and on the brink of what is about to become the first World War. There, she finds her loyalty to Jude and the mission's founder tested when she falls in love with their perceived enemy, a lieutenant in the Ottoman Imperial Army. Now, with invading army forces at their doorstep, and the world about to plunge into all-out war, she must make a decision if she wants to be what other people want her to be, or to be herself.

If I just get there... (COUGHS)

All right. All right.

ISMAIL:
Cossacks.

(HE GROANS)

(ISMAIL COUGHS)

Stop.

- Stop rowing.

- No.

Look, Ismail. Can't you see?

We're almost there

where you'll be safe.

Stop. Stop rowing.

But we're so close.

(SIGHS)

We're so close.

Please, just be with me.

(ISMAIL GROANS)

I'm here. I'm here.

I'm here with you.

I'm here with you.

I'm here with you.

I'm with you.

Look, Ismail.

Inside God's thoughts.

Yes.

I remember.

And I'll never forget.

Lillie...

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

Ismail?

Ismail...

LILLIE:
When I first came here,

I had a mission.

I wanted to make a difference.

It took so much from me.

I don't know if I will ever

stop thinking about him.

But now I understand more than ever

why I need to go on.

I am one of them now.

And, like them, I still believe

in a God that is good and just.

And I know

that peace will return one day.
