The Sunchaser Page #5

See, when I got sick, like...

... nobody cared about me.

You know, you think you're gonna die

and they're like...

I was in jail

hoping for someone to help me.

I wrote to that

old medicine man from jail.

He made me that prayer

to say whenever I felt bad.

And just like the Sunchaser,

he told me...

... that he would take me

to that lake on the sacred mountain...

... and drive out all of my sickness.

And if you think you're gonna stop me

from getting there, you're dead wrong.

You ain't deep enough.

Damn.

Well, what do you know?

The Black Talking God

must be with you today.

Maybe I'll kill you, maybe I won't.

Now, I'll get us some gas.

Fill it up, please, on 16.

Sixteen.

Haven't I seen you on TV?

Oh, goodness, no.

You look just like that gal

on Designing Women.

- What's her name?

- I don't watch television.

I bet you tell that to everybody.

You're right, I do.

- I don't think that's your name.

- No, that's my name.

- And I'll be right back to sign

my autograph. - Right.

Twenty dollars on pump 16.

Twenty dollars on pump 16.

There was also

considerable property damage.

And two motorcycles were,

shall we say, maliciously destroyed.

Perhaps I missed a beat.

Just what the hell

are you people insinuating?

My husband is the hostage here.

No one is insinuating anything.

Your husband made a judgment call.

He took it upon himself to demand...

... that a youthful offender

be transported to another facility.

A patient, a terminally ill adolescent.

Mrs. Reynolds, believe me,

no one would call them adolescents.

Mrs. Reynolds, to your knowledge,

has your husband ever been treated

for any kind of emotional problems?

I'm afraid

I don't understand the question.

Are there any areas,

any areas of your husbands past,

that he doesn't talk about?

I'm not intimidated

by police technique, Mr. Collier.

So please don't treat me

as you do everyone else.

It's information I need, Mrs. Reynolds.

My husband is a healthy,

rational, loving man.

The only emotional problem he has

is the gun that's been put to his head.

F***!

Motherf***er!

Beautiful.

You know, Blue,

I wish there were a sacred mountain,

I really do.

I wish there were

a magic lake on top of it...

that could take away all your pain

and make you well again.

But there is no sacred mountain.

There is no magic

that's going to cure you.

And the longer you spend searching

for it, the more you're going to suffer.

- Do you understand what I'm saying?

- Yeah, I understand.

I understand you're full of sh*t.

- You need medical attention.

- I need more than that.

You need me, but you don't trust me...

... because of all the stereotypes

you have about white people.

Hey, I ain't no racist, man.

I'm in the jungle, you're in the hills

looking down at me.

And you want me to think

that my life depends on you? F*** you!

Okay, fine.

But think again,

it starts with little beads of sweat.

And then comes the coughing,

sometimes uncontrollable.

And then the chills

and the shivering.

And then when your liver

starts to shut down...

... you slip into a coma.

Why don't you let me

take you to a hospital?

Why don't you stick your head up your

ass and see what you really look like.

Okay. F*** it!

And f*** you!

You think because you saw

some picture in some book...

... that some a**hole drew

in 1850-whatever-the-hell...

... that you're just gonna pull up

in front of it like it's Disneyland?

It ain't no Disneyland, man.

It's real.

It's one of the sacred mountains.

- Ain't nothing sacred to you?

- Of course there is.

What?

Oh, look.

Look, it's the holy mountain.

And there's the medicine man waving at us.

And there's Dorothy and the Tin Man

and the Wizard of Oz and th...

Oh, I've been bitten by a rattlesnake.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

I'm gonna die right out here. Oh, God.

I'm already tachycardic.

I'm gonna have

an endocardial hemorrhage.

Oh, what am I doing?

I don't even have a watch.

What...?

Let it burn. Electricity neutralizes

the protein in the snake venom.

I can't talk proper English.

You amaze me.

Why? Because you thought I was dumb?

You think I don't use my mind?

No, I don't think you're dumb...

What the f*** do you think?

- About what?

- About what?

About me, any of your patients.

You think about them?

Yes, of course.

- About the way they feel?

- Yes.

Who you shitting, motherf***er?

You ain't got the balls for it.

Indian people believe,

you bit by a snake...

... it's because of something bad

you done to someone else.

There's something crawling in you, man.

Your mind ain't in tune to your heart.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Where are you going?

I don't even understand

how you're walking.

By rights, you should be dead by now.

Can we stop for a minute?

I've just been bitten by a rattlesnake.

I'll stop when I can't see straight.

That's when I'll stop.

Where are we going?

Stop, please. Could you please stop?

Please, just stop. Stop.

Could you please just stop?

Hello? Stop.

Okay, now, if you would just

keep going when we get to...

Just keep going. Don't stop for this...

Don't stop, trust me.

Please, he's dangerous. Don't stop.

- This is rough territory.

- God.

- You in?

- Thanks.

Hang on.

Are you here for the Convergence?

The Harmonic Convergence?

Do you mind if I put my leg up?

I've been bitten by a...

There are hundreds of people here

for the Convergence.

This whole area is a power point.

I'm going into Flagstaff for supplies.

We're headed to Flagstaff. Cool.

You know, I'm really picking

up some weird energies from you two.

- Maybe you've seen us on the news.

- Shut up.

I don't listen to news.

- Well, allow me to fill you in.

- Shut up.

I'm terminally ill.

- I'm not gonna hurt you.

- I wouldn't count on it.

I said shut up, motherf***er!

Excuse me.

We're actually headed

up north of Flagstaff.

Up Shiprock way.

- Are you Navajo?

- No, he's fugitive.

My real father was Navajo.

That's what I am.

- I'm going to one of the sacred

mountains. - I love sacred mountains.

You see, there's this magic lake

on top of this mountain,

but no white man believes

that its waters are magic.

Oh, here we go.

Water is a highly concentrated element...

... with great healing power

simply awaiting release.

If you sick and you swim in its waters,

it will take away all your sickness.

Oh, how very beautiful.

Did you hear the one

about Goldilocks and the three bears?

You don't care

what anybody believes, do you?

No.

You don't have an ear for faith.

So naturally you will not allow

that throughout history...

... there have occurred innumerable

cases of instantaneous healing.

Diseased tissues rendered whole

in a flash of time.

If I could continue with my point...

The fine vibrations of the mind...

... can act on the lower vibrations

of diseased tissue.

Would you like some water?

- I'm starving. Do you have any food?

- No.

Thanks.

The Navajo are very spiritual people.
