RON:

They got hot ladies over there?

T.J.

It’s a Muslim country. You can’t f***

the women.

RON:

Now that takes me out right there.

The FOREMAN races over to them.

FOREMAN:

Woodroof, there’s been an accident on

platform five. They need an electrician

right away!

10 EXT. DRILL PLATFORM - DAY - LATER 10

A MEXICAN WORKER has his leg caught in the drill. It’s

severed and he’s losing blood fast. Ron walks over.

RON:

Dumb spic. How’d you get your leg in

there?

The guy’s breath is coming in short fast spurts.

RON:

Where’s the ambulance?

FOREMAN:

He’s illegal.

Ron takes his OWN shirt off, rips it in half, kneels down next

to the MEXICAN, wipes some sweat off his brow and ties a

makeshift tourniquet around his leg.

Ron looks to the Foremen.

RON:

Go call ‘em.

(the FOREMEN doesn’t move)

Go F***ING call ‘em.

He walks off to call. Ron turns back to the Mexican.

RON:

Alright we’re going to get you outta

there but you gotta stay still until I

say get the f*** out and then you get the

f*** out. Comprende?

The guy nods. Ron walks over to the electrician’s box. He’s

a little DRUNK. He grabs a wire and is about to cut it.

RON (CONT'D)

Alright, on the count of three. One,

two...

Ron cuts the wire, an electrical spark shoots out and before

he can move back the box blows up in his face. Everything

goes black.

RICK FERRIS (V.O.)

Azidothymidine, or AZT -- was originally

developed as a treatment for cancer.
