Molly shakes her head.

The soldier removes the second insurgent's goggles.

TAJ:

This one?

MOLLY:

(shaking head)

No.

They move on to the third and final insurgent, a young lad of

about 20, ZEMARAY. Molly shakes her head before she's even looked

at him properly. She looks at James.

MOLLY:

It's not him.

TAJ:

Please, look.

MOLLY:

It's not Badrai.

(to James)

He's not here boss.

Completely unexpectedly, Zemaray lunges forward and with his bound

hands is able to somehow strike/push Molly in her face sending

her sprawling to the floor.

ZEMARAY:

(in Pashto – 10:11:01)

Because of you unbelievers we’ve been

ruined!

The Special Forces react strongly pinning the lad to the floor

amid screams and shouts.

SOLDIER:

(in Pashto – 10:11:05)

Handcuff him! Hold him! Hold him!

Molly is lying on the floor, blood coming from her nose.

MOLLY:

Please. Don't hurt him.

SOLDIER:

(in Pashto – 10:11:10)

Blindfold him again!

SOLDIER:

(in Pashto – 10:11:13)

Quickly! Blindfold him!

Molly groggily gets to her feet, helped by James. He is concerned

for her.

JAMES:

Are you alright?

MOLLY:

(trying not to cry)

Yeah, never been better, boss.

Taj throws a puzzled look at them as his men move the insurgents

outside.

10:
11:26 INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR. CAMP BASTION. DAY 18.

Molly is sitting daydreaming.

JACKIE (O.S)

(faux cross parent)

Well you will go out on these secret

missions!

Molly looks up and sees Jackie with a medical bowl and antiseptic

wipes etc.

MOLLY:

Jealous?

JACKIE:

You bet! You're off like some super hero

and I'm left indoors with antiseptic

wipes to clean up afterwards.

MOLLY:

What superhero do you know that's that

slow they get a clump to the cake hole?

JACKIE:

Our neighbour used to have this little

sign on his mantelpiece... 'Never

trouble trouble, till trouble troubles

you.'

MOLLY:

Oh right.

JACKIE:

I never knew what it meant till I met

you.

MOLLY:

What does it mean?

JACKIE:

The rest of us keep our heads down but

you're like... 'Oi trouble, come and

have a go if you think you're hard

enough.'

Molly laughs.

MOLLY:

It's ain’t like that, Jack.

JACKIE:

Seems that way to me.

MOLLY:

I'd prefer to be indoors with the

antiseptic wipes but it never really

works out like that.

JACKIE:

You never look for trouble but trouble

just seems to find you, eh Molly Dawes.

MOLLY:

Exactly.

Jackie dabs Molly's lip.

10:
12:20 INT. CAMP BASTION. COMMS ROOM. DAY 18.

Major Morley, senior officer from the American Army who is in

charge of detainees, Taj and his Special Forces, James and Molly

have gathered for a debrief/strategy meeting. Molly's lip is

swollen and her nose is bloody.
