MAJOR MORLEY:

Despite reliable Intel on his

whereabouts Badrai has evaded us...

again. We're about ready to start

questioning the three detainees. We'll

see what Intel they yield.

TAJ:

We find him.

MAJOR MORLEY:

Imperative. It's likely he has a

sizeable cache of explosives with him

from the factory, which from past

experience we know he won't hesitate

to use.

JAMES:

Sir... as Dawes is the key to the

successful apprehension of Badrai can

I suggest next time a joint operation?

MAJOR MORLEY:

Agreed.

MOLLY:

I can't believe he weren't there.

JAMES:

We've just put a bomb factory and

several insurgents out of action.

MAJOR MORLEY:

We have. Now let's complete the

mission.

Molly looks pensive as she picks up her rucksack and walks out.

10:
13:04 INT. QUARTERS. CAMP BASTION. DAY 18.

2 Section are lounging around, some reading, some listening to

music, some just vegging.

Molly walks in, her split lip apparent for all to see. They turn

and stare.

SMURF:

(standing up)

Moll?

MOLLY:

(joking)

Don't worry about me, I can take a punch.

SMURF:

What happened?

BRAINS:

Has someone clumped you?

MOLLY:

Don't be silly, I was joking! I fell

off the running machine at the gym.

The others laugh.

FINGERS:

Ah, silly girl!

MOLLY:

How big a twat did I feel in a room full

of septics-tanks?

DANGLE BERRIES:

You haven't asked what the volleyball

score was, Molly.

MOLLY:

That's because I don't give a toss.

Kinders comes into the tent.

SMURF:

We come second.

MOLLY:

Ah, you look pig sick, Mansfield.

BAZ VEGAS:

He has just eaten a whole pig.

MANSFIELD:

I'm going vegetarian as soon as I get

home.

KINDERS:

Right... need bodies to unload a truck.

Anyone?.. Anyone?

They all ignore him. Molly picks up a magazine.

KINDERS (CONT'D)

Just you Dawes?

Molly looks at Kinders without enthusiasm.

KINDERS (CONT'D)

Okay, let's go.

Molly drops her magazine and follows Kinders out of the tent.

Smurf stands and starts to head out.

SMURF:

A job shared is a job halved. Or

something.

BAZ VEGAS (O.S)

Yeah, cool mate. No exactly what you

mean.

Smurf follows Kinders and Molly. The others laugh.

10:
14:09 EXT. CAMP BASTION. DAY 18.

Smurf catches up with Molly.

SMURF:

(concerned)

Moll, what really happened?

MOLLY:

I told you.

SMURF:

The truth.

She flashes him a look.

SMURF:

Moll, I know I ballsed it up between

us at the fob. But your friendship means

so much to me... I need you in my life.

MOLLY:

(gently)

I am in your life Smurf.

SMURF:

And that's what makes it bearable.
