and James.

When they reach the checkpoint Molly stares in horror as she sees

the youngest ANA, Rolex Boy, lying face down and dead. Taj shouts

something at her in Pashto. Qaseem steps in.

(in Pashto - 10:

Come and check if they are dead or

alive.

QASEEM:

Examine and confirm death.

Molly is transfixed and stares at the carnage. Qaseem looks at

her.

MOLLY:

He's just a kid, Qaseem.

QASEEM:

(prompting action)

Examine and confirm death.

Molly kneels and feels for a pulse on Rolex Boy. We can see how

affected she is.

MOLLY:

(to Qaseem)

No pulse.

Qaseem translates in Pashto.

QASEEM:

(in Pashto - 10:
06:43)

They’re dead.

Close up on Rolex Boy's wrist, covered in blood but the Rolex

is still there.
