Her voice fades into the rising WHITE NOISE and Nile's faltering HEARTBEAT. DIZZY (CONT'D) (pleading--) Come on, Nile. Don't you go on me... Nile's world begins to BLEACH OUT...

NILE'S POV as Dizzy, anguished, struggles to stop the bleeding with her hands. DIZZY (shouts) Medic! (to Nile) Oh, Jesus. Hold on, Nile. Please.

The blade SLASHES her neck. Arterial blood rushes from her body. Sadeq lets go his death rattle as Nile topples, eyes wide, her mouth working SOUNDLESSLY. DIZZY Nile! Dizzy dives for Nile.

. NILE (desperate-) C'mon, man. I'm trying to save you. (turns to Dizzy) Dizzy, a little help-- With his last breath, Sadeq's other hand WHIPS a PESHKABZ just as Nile turns back.

. NILE Not if he bleeds out. They wanted him alive, remember? Sadeq feebly tries to push Nile away one-handed. SADEQ (in Pashtun-) Do not... do not touch me.

She quickly goes, as Nile drops to a knee, eyes wide. She tears a compression bandage from her harness and applies it to Sadeq, working urgently to save him. Dizzy takes in the room. It's an IED factory. DIZZY You see all this shit? Jackpot.

. NILE (into radio-) Staghorn, Coppertop, repeat, target down, over. (to Jordan-) Jay, check on the women. JORDAN Can do, Marine.

He falls, one hand pinned beneath him. Nile kicks his AK clear, adrenaline on ten. Jordan and Dizzy check corners: JORDAN Clear! DIZZY Clear!

INT. VILLAGE HOME - WORK ROOM - CONTINUOUS -- and advances, MA at her shoulder. Nile spots SADEQ in the corner reloading his AK-47. NILE Stop! Sadeg pivots to shoot and Nile drops him with two quick shots to his chest.

The Village Women dive, shielding their daughters. THE RUG DROPS, REVEALING A WOODEN DOOR. A PAUSE in the gunfire. NILE (CONT 'D) Go, go, go! Nile kicks the door in--

They quietly approach, weapons ready. Nile uses the nose of her rifle to peek behind the rug. NILE Thank you for allowing us into your home. We will leave you in peace-- A HAIL OF BULLETS tears through the rug, narrowly missing Nile.

. OLD WOMAN There are no men here. To use women as shields is to be no man at all. Nile sees her shift her gaze past her to a HANGING RUG. Nile nods in understanding. Gives a hand-signal to Dizzy and Jordan.

. NILE (CONT 'D) Have any of you seen him? You do not disrespect your family by telling us where he is. Most of the women keep their eyes down. But an OLD WOMAN fixes Nile with her gaze.

She shows the photo of Sadeq, noting reactions as she moves through the space. Gita follows, TRANSLATING INTO PASHTUN. NILE (CONT 'D) We are searching for this man. He has killed many of our people and many of yours. Have you seen him?

Nile, Dizzy, Jordan, and Gita enter. Dizzy and Jordan keep watch. Nile removes her helmet. NILE As-salam alaykum. (in Pashtun--) My name is Nile, I am an American Marine.

. DIZZY Don't we always? NILE Never hurts to repeat it. INT. VILLAGE HOME - SHORT TIME LATER The interior courtyard is crammed with WOMEN and GIRLS. Apprehension is PALPABLE.

. NILE Roger that. Nile motions her team forward. GITA, a young Afghan woman in US military fatigues follows. She is their TRANSLATOR. NILE (CONT 'D) Keep it respectful.

Two Marines follow her, DIZZY and JORDAN (20's). Together, they are a FET Team -- female engagement team. They pack full battle rattle same as any other Marine. SERGEANT The women are holed up in the house on the NW corner. Get me some information.

Nile grins, reaches into her pocket, pulls a handful of gum. The boys scramble to grab a piece. SERGEANT (O.C.) Freeman! Where you at? Nile hops up. NILE Sergeant, here!
