DOCTOR 1

Your significantly dehydrated. Let's check your levels

once we've got some fluid into you.

GEORGIE:

You might want to check my bloods as well... I haven't

passed urine for twelve hours.

DOCTOR 1

Okay.

(nods to Georgie and turns to assistant)

(in Kenyan)

Tuangalie figo tafadhali..

Translation:
Let's take a look at the kidneys please..

James comes through the door.

JAMES:

Language 10:
03:11 I'm a bit bloody better with seeing you in one piece,

Lane.

Silence. The two of them look at each other. The doctor's move away to give them a moment.

JAMES (CONT'D)

Well done. I'm proud of you.

An awkward silence. Georgie cries, then she is trying to hold it together. He knows this and isn't

sure how to react. He moves forward.

Music ‘3OG1’ in: 10:03:21

GEORGIE:

You must think I'm an emotional wreck.

Another beat. Georgie steels herself, we can almost see her pulling herself together. First flicker

of a smile between them. James sits beside her.

JAMES:

What you think I don't cry?

(beat)

Look I'm sorry about what happened to Kicki.

(half beat)

The thing with our job is, we can't unsee the things we've

seen.

GEORGIE:

(heartfelt)

And I've seen.

JAMES:

Was it as hellish as I can imagine?

GEORGIE:

Oh. I just don't understand how people, can be so evil?

JAMES:

When you speak to the psychiatrist. You must properly

unload okay.

GEORGIE:

What, don't you think I will.

JAMES:

I think you'll say you're fine and that you want to go back

to work ASAP.

GEORGIE:

Yeah well I am fine.

JAMES:

I rest my case.

GEORGIE:

What does that mean?

JAMES:

It means... don't go giving it all 'I'm fine' please tell them

everything.

GEORGIE:

You might end up with the psychiatrist in tears.

JAMES:

So be it.

James looks up and sees Elvis looking in through the door.

JAMES (CONT'D)

You want to talk to him?

GEORGIE:

No. Why him boss?

JAMES:

It wasn't my call, Lane.

GEORGIE:

Can you imagine how I felt?

JAMES:

Our first priority was to get you back safely.

GEORGIE:

Well the second priority, is to tell him to go. Seriously!

James nods and heads outside to tell Elvis to leave. We are left alone with Georgie. She shuts

her eyes. Overwhelmed.

James returns.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

Did Abu escape? The British guy?

He nods, full of admiration for her.

IN:
10:05:47 EXT/INT. HOTEL/RECEPTION/BEACHSIDE. MOMBASA. DAY

The hotel sits thirty or so feet above the beach with the sea beyond.

Armoured military cars sweep into the forecourt of the hotel. We see 2 section and the paras

have gathered in the reception of the hotel and as Georgie alights from one of the vehicles and

enters they break into a cheer and a round of applause. This is the first time they've seen her

since her ordeal.
