04:46 INT. CAPTAIN JAMES' QUARTERS.

Molly comes in and looks around at James' things. Still. A slight

Marie Celeste feel. She briefly imagines herself with James.

She drops a hold-all on James's bed then moves to his desk and

loads folders into a document case, which she puts in the hold-all.

She sees the Nespresso machine, her coffee capsules by the side.

Again she briefly imagines James, with him writing 'Rosabaya'

on her arm in felt-tip.

She moves to the wardrobe and starts to take out James' clothes

and stack them on the bed.

She sees a box on the floor of the wardrobe and picks it up. There

are photos and various little mementos, etc. She takes it to the

bed and sits down to study it. She sees lots of photos and notes

and drawings from his son SAM, 7.

She then sees some solicitor's letters and court papers about

divorce proceedings and hearings.

She remembers kissing James.

Molly quickly puts the papers back as if she's seen something

she ought not to have seen.

Molly is walking through the camp and sees Qaseem emerging from

a tent, wearing civilian clothes.

MOLLY:

Wow, nearly didn't recognise you.

QASEEM:

It's me.

MOLLY:

You look like a teacher!

QASEEM:

I am a teacher.

MOLLY:

I should be a detective.

They smile but we can see Molly's smile is unconvincing.

QASEEM:

So, you're off to Cyprus now.

MOLLY:

Yeah, that's it. Decompression then

normalisation. Doesn't feel very

normal at the moment though.

QASEEM:

It will do. Takes a long time. But one

day... everything feels normal again.

Molly looks down for a few moments.

MOLLY:

Do you think Bashira's found 'normal'

yet?

QASEEM:

She will do. One day.

MOLLY:

Please Qaseem. Will you find out where

she is and go and see her. Just let me

know that she's alright. Will you do

that for me?

Qaseem slowly shakes his head.

MOLLY:

Please Qaseem. Just this one thing. I

know that if you promise me you'll do

it, you will. Cos you're a decent bloke.

She looks at him, desperation in her eyes. He knows this. Slowly

he nods but doesn't speak for a moment.

He holds out his hand and Molly takes it. Qaseem puts his other

hand on top of hers

QASEEM:

Goodbye, Molly Dawes.

Molly smiles a sad smile. They release their hands and Qaseem

walks away. As he passes a tent he turns to look at her.
