The Ottoman Lieutenant Page #3

Only in the Islamic telling,

they weren't driven out of the garden.

They were placed

in different parts of the world,

so they had to search

to find each other.

Please stay close.

(HORSE NEIGHS)

ISMAIL:
Wake up. Wake up.

Whatever happens, don't show yourself.

Hide!

(C*CKS GUN)

We're bringing medical supplies

to the American Mission Hospital.

It's just medicine and bandages

and supplies for people in need.

Your boots. Your boots are army.

They're just boots.

Drop the rifle, Turk.

I know who you are, soldier.

The question is, am I going to kill you?

Or will my Christian conscience

prevent me?

Hey! Shall we kill this Turkish dog?

Get in!

Go, go, go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Yah! Yah!

Get him!

(GUNSHOTS)

(GASPS)

I can't control it!

Come on!

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

Miss Rowe, we are lucky.

- Lucky?

- Yes.

I lost the medical supplies.

I lost the truck. My brother's truck.

They would have taken

those things anyway.

- One more thing they would have taken.

- And what's that?

Our lives.

- You can use this as a pillow.

- Thank you.

There.

- Thank you, Lieutenant.

- Apologies for the arrangement.

I hope you'll be able to get some sleep.

(CHUCKLES)

(HORSE NEIGHS)

Hello! (VOICE ECHOES)

Hello!

How do you say "hello" in Turkish?

ISMAIL:
Merhaba. (VOICE ECHOES)

LILLIE:
Merhaba.

LILLIE:
Is that the mission?

No. That's the garrison

where I've been posted.

Your mission hospital is over there.

Come.

Well, you made it.

Goodbye, Miss Rowe.

I hope we'll be able

to see each other...

JUDE:
Miss Rowe?

What are you doing here?

- Really?

- Dr Gresham, it's a long story.

(SHE LAUGHS)

- Are you all right?

- I'm... I'm fine, actually.

And this is my escort, Lieutenant Veli.

- Lieutenant, this is Dr Gresham.

- Doctor.

(IN TURKISH) Lieutenant.

Thank you for bringing her safely to us.

Let's get you out of the sun, shall we?

Thank you, Lieutenant.

So what happened to you?

I was... I was bringing

your medical supplies

- in my brother's truck, as I promised.

- You brought the truck?

Unfortunately it was stolen

in the mountains by bandits

along with all the supplies.

I'm so sorry.

You're here. You're alive.

That's what counts. Come on.

Since I can't deliver

the supplies, I...

- I'd like to volunteer my services.

- You want to be a nurse here?

- Well, you need nurses, don't you?

- Badly.

- That's Dr Woodruff, our founder.

- Could I meet him?

JUDE:
Of course.

Garrett.

- What is it? Who's this?

- JUDE:
Her name is Lillian Rowe.

She's come from Philadelphia

to bring us valuable medical supplies.

I'm afraid there was a problem with

the supplies, but I'd like to stay...

Stay? You can't stay.

What is she talking about, Gresham?
