JAMES:

Alright Georgie, how have you been?

GEORGIE:

Yeah good thanks, Sir. How's things with you?

JAMES:

Yeah very well thank you. Molly's back in Afghan.

GEORGIE:

Yeah I heard.

(sitting)

Facebook.

JAMES:

She's working with the training and advisory team. You

probably know that already.

He smiles. She doesn't.

GEORGIE:

So what you doing here?

JAMES:

Final mission specific training on the moors before

Kenya.

GEORGIE:

Why you going Kenya?

JAMES:

Humanitarian mission. Outreach project in the refugee

camps on the Somali border.

GEORGIE:

Well some of us have to work for a living.

JAMES:

I've just had a word with your C.O. and he thinks it's a

sound idea.

GEORGIE:

What?

JAMES:

Need a medic. Experienced. Top of the range, fully

loaded and you fit the bill. What do you think? Actually

don't answer that now, you can chat it through with your

loved ones and tell me in the morning.

Georgie stares at him, aghast.

JAMES (CONT'D)

And you can say to your new chap that it's only for six

weeks and you'll be back by Christmas.

GEORGIE:

Isn't that what they said when they headed out to the

first world war?

JAMES:

I wouldn't know Georgie, I'm not as old as I look.

GEORGIE:

How do you know that I've got a new 'chap'? Ah!

He looks at her knowingly.

GEORGIE (CONT'D)

(realising)

Molly!

JAMES:

No secret is safe with social media.

GEORGIE:

No…

JAMES:

He's a Doctor I believe.

GEORGIE:

Mmm hmm… A notch up from a squaddie.

JAMES:

Well why don't you think that over?

James stands.

GEORGIE:

You won't hearing from me in the morning.

JAMES:

(not looking at her)

Why's that?

GEORGIE:

Because I can say 'yes' now. Sir.

They both smile to themselves as he walks away and she has drink.

Establisher.

Cole and Georgie are heading out of the hospital, arm in arm.

Music ‘1G06’ out: 10:13:18

COLE:

(checking his watch)

Oh… Fourteen hour twelve minute shift.

GEORGIE:

Yeah… Apartment. Bath. Candles. Wine.

COLE:

I wish people would only get ill for eight hours a day.

(off her reaction)

What? It'd relieve the pressure on the NHS.

Music ‘1G06a’ in: 10:13:26

They head outside.

GEORGIE:

Well funny you should say that, because in Afghan...

COLE:

(playfully)

Oh during the war...

GEORGIE:

Yes

COLE:

Yeah...
