A SERIES OF DISSOLVES
As LOLA’s cannula is removed - The DOCTOR sews DAVID up - LOLA watches over him, a bedside vigil - CHELSEA comes in to check on them, smiles reassuringly at LOLA...
LOLA closes her eyes, takes a moment for herself. We go inside LOLA’s head, as SOUNDS DROP AWAY, reflecting her stress and utter fatigue. Then -
CHELSEA
Lola?
LOLA opens her eyes to see DAVID’s eyelids fluttering open.
LOLA
DAVID’s POV: LOLA slowly comes into focus. He instinctively tries to sit up. LOLA gently stops him.
LOLA
No, no, don’t- Lie back down.
DAVID
...What happened?
LOLA
You got shot. You’ve been out for a few hours, but you’re okay.
Relieved, LOLA takes DAVID’s hand. His memory slowly returns.
DAVID
Wh-why did they take me?
LOLA
It’s... all part of what happened back in Australia. You weren’t meant to get caught up in this.
DAVID stares at LOLA, then slowly pulls his hand away. LOLA clocks a look with CHELSEA, buries her hurt. Takes a beat.
LOLA
The man who took you... Do you know his name? Anything about him?
DAVID shakes his head, no. Then, a thought. With his good hand, he removes Morrison’s handkerchief from his pocket.
Hey.
