El Director Vision: Surviving the Wild Page #6

---

Move your thumb around

back there.

You feel that?

- Yeah.

- You work on it,

it's going to come loose.

- Yeah.

- You got all night.

What else you going to do?

You'll be fine.

- Rachel.

- Yeah?

- We have to stop, okay?

- No.

- We're not making any progress.

I don't know where we are.

And your ankle is just...

- I'm fine.

- No, come on. Please.

- Let's take a little rest.

- All right.

Let's just look for a place

to pitch a tent.

We'll sleep

for a couple of hours.

- You've been running around

like a young pup.

And you're not a pup.

I know. You get older,

your bones ache.

You get tired,

you don't want to show it.

That's the way it is.

Now he's going to be

fine for now.

He's a clever boy.

You need some rest.

You got an important day

tomorrow.

Good night.

- Oh. I'll just

sleep outside.

- No, no, it's...

it's okay.

You can stay.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

Please.

- Okay.

- I just keep thinking about

Shaun out there all alone,

and if anything happens to him,

I don't know...

- Hey, come on.

- I don't know what I'd do.

- I don't know.

- Don't think like that, okay?

Gus taught him how to survive.

He's a smart kid.

He's going to be okay.

- I keep replaying

the last conversation I had

with him in my head, and...

I had this stupid fight with him

about the house.

I was telling him

to sell the house.

And after a lot of yelling

back and forth,

he just stormed out and...

never got a chance

to say goodbye.

- Shauny, it's go time.

What's keeping you?

- I know.

- Good, good, good.

- Where are you going, boy?

Think you're smart?

- Nowhere, sir.

- Ain't you a clever squirrel,

getting yourself out.

I knew you didn't know

how to tie to knot.

- You're drug guys, right?

- Drugs? What's he

talking about?

- No, no, it's not like that.

- I can offer you a trade.

- What do you got?

- It's this new drug

everyone's on.

I got everyone on.

It's called sweet ash.

- That's either

the worst idea ever,

or it's genius.

- Open it up.

- I'll show you.

- All right, let's see it, boy.

- How you take it?

- You eat it.

Come here.

Try some.

- Don't be "ash-holes."

- Stole my joke.

- Did you just call... what?

- What'd you say?

Oh! It's in my mouth.

What is that?

- Hurry up!

- It's in my eyes.

Oh!

Who put that there?

- Emery!

- Get up, old man.

Come on.

- Yeah, of course it was...

- That could be...

- Were those gunshots?

- I... I'm not sure.

- Do you think it's just

people hunting?

- I don't know.

It's down here.

- Get behind me.

Where'd he go?

There he is, down the hill.

Aah! Goddamn.

- Come on.

- I'm coming to get you, boy.

- The kids today is fast.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Shaun, Shaun...

- Mom and Dad?

- What happened to your face?

- What happened to your face?

- Shaun, what's going on?

- Guys, we got to go. Guys...

- Why?

- Because there's guys

following me. Drug people.

- What do you mean, drugs?

Are you into drugs?

- What is going on, Shaun?

- I'm not into drugs.

- Hold it right there.

- Go, go!

- Hey, hey.

- No, no, no.

- Hey, hey, hey.

We don't care what you're doing.

We just want to take our son.

- That ain't gonna happen, boy.

- Okay.

- Okay, just keep me, then,

and let them go, please.

- Well, that ain't

gonna happen, man.

The boy threw dirt in my mouth.

Everybody just settle down now.

- Surprise.

- Get this dog off me, man!

- Kris, go get the gun.

Kris, get the gun.

- Get him off me!

- Riley.

- Shaun...

- Help m!

- No, no, no, no...

- Don't move.

- Riley! Mom!

- Stay down.

- Mom, Riley's hurt!

You saved our life, buddy.

- Okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

Mom, Riley was shot.

You shot him.

You shot my best friend.

Okay, boy.

- You ever touch my son again,

I will kill you.

Riley doesn't look

so good, honey.

You okay?

- Riley, Riley,

I'm so sorry, buddy.

- I like your dad much better

since I've been dead.

Riley wasn't going

to make it very long,

whether he came out here or not.

But you let him go out

with honor.

- You're a hero, Riley.

You're a hero.

- Okay.

Guys, I am so sorry.

I need to take a rest

on this ankle.

- Look up.

- You know what?

I can do this.

Let's go help him.

- I'm good.

- This is it for him, isn't it?

- You know...

sitting here right now...

the name Mount Delilah doesn't

really do this justice, does it?

- I was thinking...

Riley's Peak.

- Riley's Peak.

I like it.

- Riley's Peak.

- Grandpa?

- Yes?

Yes, Shaun?

- I'm sorry for throwing

your ashes on their faces.

Those ashes aren't me.

They never were.

I'm you.

I'm always with you.

No matter what.

I'm so proud of you, son.

- I don't know what I'm going

to do without you.

- Well...

that's... that's a little

bit of life.

That's what life offers,

you know.

There's a beginning,

just like a good story.

And a middle.

And an end, finally.

But as you can see,

the end ain't no end.

You guys will look

after each other now.

- Grandpa...

I, uh...

I have a surprise for you.

- You have a surprise for me?

- Close your eyes.

- All right.

Okay, my eyes are closed now.

My eyes are closed, see?

All right?

- Look up.

Goodbye, grandpa.

- Goodbye, Shaun.

Goodbye, Riley.

- Come here.

It's going to be okay, honey.

It's going to be okay.

- Your mom and I

are here for you, Shauny.

We love you, buddy.

- Mom, what's up?

- Um... I, uh...

I know this sounds crazy,

but I...

I just saw Gus.

Over there.

That's not crazy, Mom.

He's been here the whole time.

With me.

- I'm so sorry, Shaun.

You were right.

He belongs here.

This is the right thing to do.

- Does that mean

I'm not grounded anymore?

You're funny, Shauny.

Just like Gus.

- You think so?

- Trust me,

you're exactly like Gus.
