We see Georgie swimming in the water. All is calm. She is clearing her head and happy.

Music ‘Previously’ out: 10:00:45

As she surfaces someone grabs her ankle from below, she screams.

Frantic, she kicks out and tries to spin around under the water to see her assailant.

Music ‘4OG01’ in: 10:01:01

She sees Abu is under the water and holding her ankle. In a suddenly panic she tries to free

herself but can't, finally she manages too.

She comes to the surface, breathes. Contentment turns to fear..

Close in on Georgie's agonised face

IN:
10:01:16 INT. BEDROOM. COLE'S APARTMENT. MANCHESTER. DAWN.

Georgie sits up with a start, as if breaking the surface, breathing desperately, she gulps in air.

After a beat Cole reaches out his arms and holds her tight, comforting. They lie wrapped in each

others arms.

Music ‘4OG01’ out: 10:01:21

COLE:

It’s okay. Come here. Come here. Come here. Sshh.

Sshh. Sshh… I got you. It’s ok. Sshh. Sshh. Sshh. I got

you. It’s okay. Sshh.

IN:

Morning. Georgie is scrambling eggs as Cole emerges from the bedroom in a towel. He reaches

for his phone, takes a sip of orange, then looks at her.

GEORGIE:

Oh, look at you in your six-pack.

COLE:

Well if you've got it.

Her phone goes. She checks the number, rolls her eyes and answers.

GEORGIE:

(snaps into phone)

Look, I've already told you I can't do an interview, even if

I wanted to...

(hanging up)

Ridiculous!

COLE:

Who was that?

GEORGIE:

Journalist for the Manchester Evening News, wanting to

do a piece. I don't know why they bother. I've told them

they have to go through the Army Press Office.

He looks into the pan and sees they are burning.

COLE:

(worried but trying not to show)

Look why don't you let me do breakfast.

GEORGIE:

No I'm okay. Thanks though babe"

Music ‘4OG02’ in: 10:02:04

Cole watches her as she returns to somewhat manically stir the eggs in the pan. It looks far from

appetising. He catches her eye and smiles as if all is well.

IN:
10:02:08 EXT. STREETS. MANCHESTER. DAY

Georgie is running through the streets. She stops and looks into a shop window. She sees her

reflection and suddenly behind her she thinks she sees Abu. Startled she swings round. There is

a hubbub of people but she can't see Abu.

Slightly freaked out she hurries on her way.
