Affected, but stoic, POWELL watches in icy silence.

9 EXT. LAS VEGAS - NEVADA - EVENING 9

FROM HIGH IN THE SKY we drift ominously over suburbs of

tract homes that pattern the Nevada desert at last light.

ON SCREEN:
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA - 20h44

10 INT. BEDROOM - STEVE’S HOUSE - LAS VEGAS - NIGHT 10

Dark. A large digital alarm clock reads: 20h44

A sleeping body is dimly visible with covers over its head.

The clock clicks to 20h45 and the radio comes on: Indie rock.

STEVE WATTS, 25, reluctantly moves the covers aside and flips

on a side lamp.

He lies staring at the ceiling for a moment, listening to his

music, still half asleep, not wanting to get up just yet.

The room is sparsely decorated. On his bedroom wall is a

single, large framed aviation art painting by Randy Green of

“The Boys from Richmond” fighter jets against a striking sky.

YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 7.

On a small desk is a framed picture of Steve graduating from

University in Nevada, a plaque from a Reserve Officer

Training Corps showing him commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant,

and an Undergraduate RPA (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) training

certificate. Finally there is a photo of Steve himself posing

in a flight suit next to a training aeroplane.

11 EXT. COUNTRYSIDE - SURREY - DAWN 11

We drift over beautiful English countryside as dawn breaks.

ON SCREEN:
SURREY, ENGLAND

12 EXT. COUNTRY LANE - SURREY - DAWN 12

POWELL, now in Wellington boots and a weatherproof jacket,

walks with Jesse. There is a weariness about her. A profound

sadness lurking just beneath her tough exterior.

She tosses a stick for her dog. There’s an edge of

aggression, of unexpressed anger in the throw.

Jesse chases it, happy.

13 INT. BEDROOM - STEVE’S HOUSE - LAS VEGAS - NIGHT 13

(NOTE:
This scene was formerly scene 21.)

STEVE, slim and fit, listens to indie music as he runs a good

pace on a treadmill.

14 INT. KITCHEN - POWELL’S HOUSE - SURREY - DAWN 14

POWELL walks in with Jesse.

LIZZIE - a pretty late-teen girl wearing T-shirt and knickers

-looks inside the fridge. She reaches for a bottle of

expensive bottled water. POWELL is not amused.

COLONEL POWELL:

Hello?
