Valley of Bones Page #4

El Papa will come to you.

F***!

(PANTING)

Oh, what did they do to you?

(WIND WHOOSHING)

Well?

It's tight.

You done good,

dinosaur lady.

Thanks,

dinosaur fella.

Oh. I've been promoted.

(LAUGHS)

I'm gonna go grab my pack,

then we can caravan

outta here.

NATE:
You got the keys

to the truck, right?.

ANNA:
Got it.

NATE:
Right,

let's get going.

Hey, Eze,

come on, let's go.

Okay.

You got all

your stuff packed?

Nope.

Come on,

let's load up.

I wanna get out of here

before the sun sets.

Okay.

You got everything?

(SPITS)

Good boy.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, Nate...

(CLEARS THROAT)

Look, man, I just wanna...

(SIGHS)

I wanna say I feel bad

for how things got outta hand

at the f***ing card game.

No hard feelings.

(GUNSHOT)

(NATE GROANING)

(GUN CLICKS)

(GUNSHOT)

(GROANING)

ANNA:
Nate!

Nate!

NATE:
Eze, stay down.

ANNA:
Ezekiel, get down!

(GUNSHOT)

Ah, sh*t.

ANNA:
Nate!

You get in the car

and keep your head down.

Nate!

What the hell

is going on?

Stay right there.

You hear me?

(GUNSHOT)

Sh*t.

Mom!

Are you guys okay?

(GUNSHOT)

(GUNSHOT)

Oh, no.

No, not the keys.

NATE:
Anna!

Anna, what are you doing?

Get in the truck

and get outta here.

Keys!

I lost the keys in the...

(GUNSHOT)

(ENGINE STARTING)

NATE:
McCoy.

What the hell is he doing?

(GUNSHOTS)

You motherfuckers

wanna kill me?

You better aim straight!

You hear me?

Stay right there.

You're okay.

Mom!

(STRAINING)

I can't find 'em.

NATE:
It's not worth it,

Anna, come on.

We can't just

leave her here.

I knew we never

should have trusted

that junkie son of a b*tch.

Ouch. Ouch!

Yeah, all right.

I know, it will sting

like spitfire,

but at least

it won't fall off.

I still can't believe

we just left her out there.

Well, we have worse things

to worry about than

that dinosaur, Doctor.

Where are you going?

McCoy ain't back yet.

Good.

That's enough, okay?

From both of you.

Kim, this whole thing

is his fault.

(SIGHS)

Well, I know that,

but I'm gonna go

look for him anyway.

(GROANS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

What you got there?

He said it was

for good luck.

Who did?

(HIGH-PITCHED RINGING)

(RACY MUSIC PLAYING)

F***. (GROANS)

(CREAKING)

Wait. Wait.

Wait, God damn it!

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Just wait a minute

and listen to me, yeah?

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

(GUNSHOT)

for a f***ing...

Goddamn...

English, English,

right now.

(GUNSHOT)

It's over, gringo.

You make this easier

on yourself.

You, or your daughter.

I can still pay,

all right? I can.

Don't be a coward.

Be a good father and die.

No. No, no.

I have the T-rex.

It's there. I have it.

Here?

Huh?

Pictures. Huh?

See?

Just like I said.

That's from today.

It's already loaded up.

(LAUGHS)

What I'm supposed to do

with a big, dead lizard?

Huh?

You know exactly

f***ing what.

Auction it off.

Black market?

The last one that complete

was an $8-million dead lizard.

Don't be stupid.

You kill me,

I'm just another body.

The grave

out in the Badlands,

what's that worth?

You let me get

this fossil for you,

you'll get

a hell of a lot more

than I owe you.

Two ways to pay.

It's the dinosaur.

Or it's me.

But you leave

my kid out of it.

(MUSIC STOPS)

You're in tight spot

to be making threats,

hombre.

Then do it.

(STATIC)

(CLICKS)

Tonight?

Tonight.

At the oil rig.

You'll get it tonight.

How many albums you got

in this sh*t house?

(SIGHS)

I don't know. Seven.

Uh-huh.

Well, you better

go get my lizard

because you only got

six-and-a-half tapes left.

(THANKS IN SPANISH)

(RESPONDS IN SPANISH)

(LAUGHS)

(COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING)

We gotta go back out there.

Are you nuts, Anna?

You wanna just

leave her out there?

We already did

all the work. Okay?

She's just sitting out there,

exposed in the truck.

Which you don't

have the keys to,

if you remember.

Nobody else is

gonna get those keys.

Come on, hey.

Just relax. Go inside.

Think about your son.

Oh, my God,

you're right.

Good.

Thank you.

No, Nate,

he'd fit.

What?

Ezekiel would fit

into the fissure.

He could get the keys.

Are you insane?

I got shot out there.

I just got shot out there.

You know the bullet

was meant for McCoy.

They're not still out there.

They're not thinking

we're gonna come back tonight.

You're not going

back out there.

Ezekiel can't go

back out there.

(SIGHS)

EZEKIEL:
Yes, I can.

I can help with this. I can.

No.

No, Eze. You can't.

Mom, you said

you wanted my help.

Let me do this.

Anna.

(CHUCKLES)

Anna, what are you...

(SIGHS)

F***.

(PANTING)

(SNIFFING)

(GROANS)

(SHUDDERING)

(SOBBING)

(NECK CRACKING)

Okay, you're doing great.

Where are they?

They can't have gone too far.

(RATTLING)

Ezekiel.

Ezekiel.

Move back very slowly.

NATE:
I'm going in there,

Anna. Get him out of there.

Ezekiel.

Get out of there, now.

NATE:
Eze,

come on out of there.

(RATTLING CONTINUES)

(SCREAMING)

EZEKIEL:
Mom.

No. Come on, baby.

Mom.

Baby, come on.

Come on. Ezekiel.

EZEKIEL:
Help.

ANNA:
Come on.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

I'm stuck.

NATE:
We got you. We got you.

(ANNA GROANS)

ANNA:
Call for help.

NATE:
Try to stay calm,

Anna. You hear me?

Anna.

ANNA:
Nate! Call someone.

Are you bit?

Ezekiel, did it bite you?

Mom, I don't...

Oh, God.

Mom.

You're gonna be fine,

baby, okay?

Where's the...

(PANTING)

There's only one.

Okay.

Okay, ready?

Hold still.

(GROANS)

Okay? Okay.

Mom, I broke

Dad's watch.

That's okay, baby.

I'm here.

I'm here.

Mom, I did it.

I know, sweetheart.

No, I really did it.

(PANTING)

Yes. Yes, Eze.

Come on, you piece of sh*t.

Give me something.

Can you hear me?

Eze's snake-bit,

we're up at the dig site.

You gotta send

an ambulance...

(GROANS)

(GROWLS)

(NECK CRACKS)

KIMBERLY:
(ON PHONE)

Is everyone okay?

Nate?

Nate, goddamn it,

talk to me.

(WHISTLING)

Nate. Nate.

What's going on over there?

Hello?

Nate.

Uncle Nate.

Nate, where are you?

(GROANS)

Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm gonna be fine.

Just have to find your uncle

and get to a hospital.

I got the second bite,

so I got

the least of the venom.

I'm gonna be fine.

We just gotta

get out of here.

Okay, stay here.

Keep an eye out

for your uncle.

I'm gonna go find a flare

and flag him down.

Okay.

Okay.

(WIND WHOOSHING)

(INHALING)

(THUNDER BREAKING)

Where the hell is

that stupid thing?

(UNZIPPING)

Nate.

We gotta talk.

McCoy!

Where the hell have you been?

What was that back there?

Don't get all excited.

People were shooting at us.

We could have died.

People have died.

Where's Nate?

You come diggin'

in my sh*t,

I come diggin'

in yours.

McCoy?

I want those bones.

You give me what's mine.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

She's not yours.

Bullshit, she ain't mine.

She's been under my feet.

McCoy, she isn't...

I found her. Me.

And I'm taking her,

all right?

And I don't

give a good goddamn

what I gotta do to do it.

Now, you still

gotta be all mean
