在肯尼亚内罗毕,一名中将(艾伦·里克曼饰)和一名上校(海伦·米伦饰)下令进行无人机导弹袭击,以消灭一群自杀式炸弹袭击者,他们面临政治反对。A lieutenant general (Alan Rickman) and a colonel (Helen Mirren) face political opposition after ordering a drone missile strike to take out a group of suicide bombers in Nairobi, Kenya.

On the Beetle screen, ABADE, frustrated, re-enters the * bedroom. He moves RASHEED into a kneeling position on the * floor and pulls the suicide vest over his head. *
WOODALE:
(to James, with real empathy) James... My recommendation is that we do not delay in proceeding with this mission.
JAMES still hesitates.
COLONEL POWELL: Sir, if we do not act now we risk losing the lives of up to eighty people. Many will be children.
ANGELA:
With respect, you can only assume those deaths - but what is certain is that, if we do act now, this one girl will suffer.
JAMES:
And would you save her and risk killing eighty others?
ANGELA:
Yes. I would save her and take that risk. That is what I would do.
YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 106.
JAMES:
Angela, is it you or me who will be invited on to the Today programme to explain why we knew of the attack on a mall that killed eighty people but chose to do nothing to stop it?
ANGELA:
(quietly, respectfully) You, James... But frankly... politically... I’d rather point to Al-Shabaab as murderers of eighty people shopping than have to defend a drone attack by our forces that kills an innocent child.
A beat. Everyone is wrestling with the dilemma. GEORGE shifts awkwardly, perhaps persuaded by Angela’s new argument.
GEORGE:
James, Angela makes a compelling point. If Al-Shabaab kill eighty people, we win the propaganda war.
If we kill one girl, they do.
JAMES:
So we don’t do it?
A beat. Unlike WOODALE and Angela, GEORGE, ever the lawyer, just won’t commit to a decision.
JACK:
She’s got another customer.
They all look at the screen and see that A WOMAN is buying two of the loaves. There are now five left.
LIEUTENANT-GENERAL BENSON I suggest you keep your eye on the other screen.
The beetle sees that RASHEED’S vest is slowly and carefully * being wired with explosives by ABADE. * LIEUTENANT-GENERAL BENSON (CONT’D) With respect, Foreign Secretary, are the lives of eighty people, including innocent children, really worth the price of winning the propaganda war?
YELLOW SHOOTING SCRIPT 12 September 2014 107.
JAMES, caught in a terrible dilemma, stares at the screen, * watching as ABADE and AL-HADY wire RASHEED. The painstaking * process will take time, but it is chilling to watch. * 248 EXT. STREET - EASTLEIGH - AFTERNOON 248 ALIA sits by her bread stall, waiting. A mangy dog comes up to the stall and sniffs the bread.
ALIA talks to the dog - and the dog eventually wanders off.
249 INT. BEDROOM SUITE - SINGAPORE - NIGHT 249 JAMES is haunted by ALIA - and doesn’t know what to do.
JAMES:
General, if we go ahead... might footage of our attack be leaked?
250 INT. BRIEFING ROOM A - WHITEHALL - AFTERNOON 250 They stare at James on the screen.
