Don Verdean Page #8

Produce it from my anus?

( COUGHS )

DON:
I understand we

owe you some money.

Hell, yeah, you do.

Well, we apologize for the delay,

our money's been tied up

in an offshore account,

but if you give us another day

or two we'll double your offer

maybe even throw in a bucket

of chicken or somethin'.

I need cash now.

That was the deal.

If you can't make that happen,

I'll send everyone the real results.

- It's that simple.

- DON:
We... we understand.

Okay, drop the phone.

- DON:
Oh, whoa. Boaz! What are you doing?

- BOAZ:
Put the phone down.

Do you think I'm

fooling around, creep?

I said drop the phone!

DON:
Boaz, put the gun down.

Please.

Oh, my Lord.

( GRUNTS )

- ( DON SIGHS )

- Get into the car.

Come on, get in the

trunk of the car.

- ( DON GROANS )

- Get in the Fiero!

Just... see if you can fit in there.

- Don, help get these...

- No! I'm not helpin' you do nothin'!

Tuck your knees together, maybe.

DON:
You're gonna crush his skull.

He's not gonna fit in there.

Put that gun away!

Listen to me now, Boaz,

this just got real serious.

You better tell me right now

what you plan to do with this guy.

Make yourself comfortable.

If you promise to stay

put for the next few days,

you'll get 50 grand

and we can all pretend

like this never happened.

- Understand?

- Yeah, sure.

CAROL:
As I surveyed the landscape

with our expedition

team, a large monolith

caught my attention,

and somethin' inside me

just knew that's where

we had to start digging.

So, following my lead, that

is precisely what we did.

And within minutes, we unearthed the skull.

It must have been the hand of

the Lord that guided us that day.

I don't know how else to explain it.

PASTOR FONTAINE:
I understand

you've parted ways with Don Verdean.

Would you mind explaining

what happened, exactly?

CAROL:
Well, after

a while, some people

start to chase money, I suppose.

But I am here to promote the faith.

Are you suggesting Don Verdean

made a pact with Lucifer, then?

Uh, no, no. No, Don is

an honest, gentle man.

He would never side

with The Dark One.

Not even if it were to

help him find the Grail?

Put your hand in the hand

Of the man who

stilled the water

Put your hand in the hand

Of the man who

calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at

others differently

By puttin' your

hand in the hand

Of the man from Galilee

My mama taught

me how to pray

Before I reached

the age of seven

- She said

- They'll come a time

When there'll probably

be room in heaven

But I'm feelin' kinda guilty

'bout the number of times

To do what we must do

But we forget what He said

Then we figure they'll

still make room

Put your hand in the hand

Of the man who

stilled the waters

Put your hand in the hand

Of the man who

calmed the sea

Take a look at yourself

And you can look at

others differently

By puttin' your

hand in the hand

Of the man from Galilee

Everybody come a long

Put your hand in the hand

Of the man who

stilled the waters

Put your hand in the hand

Of the man who

calmed the sea...

How stupid is this Poon-Yen guy?

WOMAN ON INTERCOM: We are now inviting

those passengers with small children

and any passengers

requiring special assistance

to begin boarding at this time.

Please have your boarding

pass and identification ready.

Regular boarding will begin in

approximately 10 minutes. Thank you.

Ni hao ma.

How was your flight from the Orient, sir?

It was fine. When do

we leave for the Grail?

In 25 minutes.

We chartered a helicopter to take us

deep inside the Indian reservation.

They'll set us down about one

click south of the Templar cave.

Now, after that, we'll

have under three hours

to penetrate the cave, locate the Grail,

and rendezvous back at

our extraction point.

You're gonna need to wear this.

The cave is guarded 24/7

by Native American warriors,

we don't wanna take any chances.

All right, let's roll in!

POON-YEN:
I got five helicopters

just like this at home.

I replaced all the engine

with Rolls Royce engine.

DON:
That... that's

great, Poon-Yen.

( WHISPERING ) Okay, so our latest intel

says that the guards

work in 12-hour shifts.

It takes them 15 minutes to

ride the horse out of the canyon

and another 15 for the

replacement guard to ride back.

By my calculations we

got a 30 minute window

in which to fetch the Grail.

( WHICKERS )

Okay, now's our chance. Let's move.

POON-YEN:
I can't believe

we're so close to the Grail.

I can feel its power inside me!

DON:
Well, hopefully,

we can all get a cell.

All right.

Better get them lanterns

on. We haven't much time.

All right. Let's sally forth.

( SCREAMS )

- Maybe we should pray.

- You bet.

That's a great idea. Um...

Why don't you take the lead on this one?

Okay.

Dear Lord,

please guide us safely to

Your Holy Grail of wonders.

We promise to take good care of it.

Amen.

- Amen. That was good.

- Amen.

How you feelin'? We should get

that... you wanna power through?

I feel that God is on our side.

Well, let's sally forth, then.

Poon-Yen, this is all you, buddy.

( BOAZ HUMMING )

( GRUNTS )

( MUSIC PLAYING )

It's more beautiful than I ever imagined.

And to think that the lips of your Lord

graced this very cup.

Plenty of time to examine

it later. Put it in here.

Let's roll.

Come on. Let's go!

Head for the safety of the trees!

( GUN C*CKS )

BOAZ:
They're shooting!

- Hurry! Hurry!

- ( GUNSHOTS )

Get down! Get down!

BOAZ:
The Indian guys.

They're shooting at us!

Do they know we have the Grail?

- ( GUNSHOT )

- I think we're trapped.

What should we do?

- They won't stop shooting!

- ( GUNSHOT )

- ( POON-YEN SCREAMS )

- ( BOAZ GROANS )

- I've been hit.

- Oh, no! Oh, no!

( SCREAMS ) Ow!

- Oh, my God!

- It's bad.

They must have hit an artery.

- It's okay.

- I need a tourniquet or a bandage or...

- tissue paper, anything!

- I'm sorry, Boaz,

I-I-I think this will take

nothing short of a miracle.

Oh! What about the Holy Grail?!

Poon-Yen, fill the Grail with water.

It contains the secret of eternal life.

- I'll go fill 'er up.

- Stay calm.

Just breathe.

He's bleeding really bad.

It hurts!

Just focus on God.

( GROANING )

Hold still. This could hurt.

- ( SIZZLING )

- ( BOAZ GROANING )

POON-YEN:
It's working!

Praise the Lord!

I don't believe it because that...

I was in pain and now it's all healed.

It really is the Holy Grail!

- DON:
Hallelujah.

- All right, let's go.

Yeah, I think we still may have

time to make the rendezvous.

( GUNSHOT )

( GASPING )

- Poon-Yen!

- ( GUNSHOT )

DON:
Hey! Cease fire! Cease fire!

I thought you told them to use blanks!

They didn't have any blanks, I

told them to fire above our heads.

- ( GUNSHOT )

- Poon-Yen!

- ( MONITOR BEEPING )

- WOMAN ON INTERCOM: Dr. Odain, you're needed in Oncology.

Dr. Odain in Oncology.

What did you tell them?

I told them it was a hunting accident.

I wish that guy would
