Script 2

HOLBY POLICE STATION - CONTINUOUS
(LLOYD, PC BRINKLEY)
(NS POLICE OFFICERS, PC JULIE SCRIVEN, SCARLETT,
CLINT, NS CROWD, FAITH)
On LLOYD as he watches SCARLETT disappear into the crowd. We lose
sight of her with him as the crowd closes around her.
LLOYD turns his attention to PC SCRIVEN. Her uniform is burned.
She has raised her hands to the helmet and is pulling at it.
Close on her face screaming inside the visor from LLOYD’s POV. She
claws at it as if suffocating.
LLOYD
(trying to calm her)
Don’t pull. Leave it. Let me. It’s ok.
PC BRINKLEY
Up! Get off her. Yes - You!
LLOYD jerks his head up - a group of Police surround him. Weapons
at the ready. Circling him, threatening.
(Prejudiced by LLOYD’s
colour, BRINKLEY assumes he’s a rioter, causing more trouble.)
PC BRINKLEY (CONT’D)
Up! And step back.
LLOYD
(protesting)
I’m a Nurse!
PC BRINKLEY
Sure!
LLOYD holds up his hands to show he’s got no weapons on him.
LLOYD
(repeating, desperate)
I work at Holby City ED. I’m a Nurse!
PC BRINKLEY realizes his mistake. Recognizes LLOYD, indicates to
the surrounding Police that LLOYD should be left alone.
PC BRINKLEY
He’s good. I’ve seen him in the hospital.
LLOYD shoots PC BRINKLEY a grateful look.
PC BRINKLEY (CONT’D)
Sorry mate.
LLOYD lets this possibly un-pc remark of PC BRINKLEY’s go.
