The Bird Feeder

Apparently, this screenplay has been awarded both top 35% and 23% Discoverable Badges by Coverfly. I have no idea what this implies. Anyway, an authors note: as will become apparent, this story is set around the disappearance of flight MH370. However, should the wreck of the aircraft ever be found, or if irrefutable evidence ever comes to light as to the mystery, the references to the flight can easily be substituted with that of an imaginary flight. So... "Okay just finished reading updated version of The Bird Feeder. Wow! In my opinion your scripts outclass any of the others that I have read, and I've read many. It deals with a world and characters outside of my ken, yet I found it fascinating. A real page turner. Definitely a blockbuster." A fellow Script Revolution writer. CIA Special Agent Suzie Hunt, an attaché at the US embassy in London, travels to the west coast of Scotland to confront former Royal Marine and Special Forces officer, Jamie Shaw - an MI6 United Kingdom Deniable (UKD), who has previously assisted the CIA in a covert operation that resulted in the destruction of a missing USAF 'Broken Arrow'. There, she finds him living an apparent quiet life on the Isle of Skye. Over after-dinner drinks Hunt lets it be known that she has intelligence that links Shaw to the revenge killings of several Israeli cocaine traffickers; members of a cartel responsible for the murders of his wife and daughter, whilst he and his family were living in Oman, employed by the late incumbent Sultan of Oman as military adviser to his special forces. Hunt points out that as his revenge spree included a murder in Los Angeles, he is wanted by US authorities. Hunt calls in the debt: the abduction of Prince Richard, a nephew of the King, and wanted in the USA by the FBI on paedophilia charges. Left with no choice, Shaw arranges the snatching of the prince whilst he is fishing on the Balmoral estate, Royal Deeside. A waiting US submarine submerged off the coast of Scotland, transports the reluctant royal, stateside. Shaw resumes his life only to again be visited by Hunt. This time it's a so-called personal request. Aware that Shaw can deliver the goods, Hunt and her sister, an anthropologist with an apparent book and possible movie deal waiting in the wings, offer Shaw a lucrative mission. Visit North Sentinel Island and obtain evidence as to the islanders — a pre-Neolithic tribe who have inhabited the island for approximately sixty five thousand years — way of life. Initially, Shaw is reluctant. He discovers it's illegal to visit the island and that the inhabitants are dangerous, as the killing of US missionary, John Chau, in 2018 is testimony. However, after falling for Hunt romantically and after negotiating a larger reward, Shaw accepts the challenge and together with another former Special Forces operator, undertakes a HALO parachute jump in order to get on the island covertly — and illegally. There, the pair set camera-traps and explore the island hoping to collate more evidence. During the expedition, Shaw does discover evidence, but it's evidence that suggests that both bodies and wreckage from missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 had been washed ashore and reports his findings to Hunt. Such discovery causes panic within the CIA, who in turn murder one of Shaw's backup team and abandon the British operatives on the island. Using a trusted clandestine exfiltration method used by both UKSF and MI6 personnel to escape foreign territory, Shaw and his partner leave the island and return to the UK. Back home, Shaw discovers he was fooled into visiting the island. The real reason was to gather evidence of a missing Chinese hypersonic missile. Furthermore, he is stunned to hear the revelations with regard to his findings about MH370 will remain, for political reasons, hushed up. With the help of a member of the IRA, the brother of the murdered member of Shaw's team, Shaw convinces the CIA that a second missing Broken Arrow has been transported from Algeria to the UK hidden within a Formula One team transporter. There, the CIA are told, it has been concealed within the wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery, a second world war US liberty ship that lays on the seabed in the Thames Estuary, its holds still containing 3,500 tonnes of explosives and munitions. It's a game of chicken — and the US crack. Together with both the Malaysian and Indian governments, America informs the world that debris and bodies were washed ashore on North Senitel Island. The political fallout begins. Hunt is recalled to Washington. Meanwhile, the IRA, having been inadvertently led to the missing atomic weapon via MI6, acquire it from Islamic radicals and submerge the weapon in the sunken liberty ship.
