CUT TO:
INT. ISABEL'S CABIN -- MOMENTS LATER
ENRIQUE enters the cabin. The light from the companionway reveals the girl on the filthy cot, her back to the door. Gently, ENRIQUE rolls her onto her back.
ENRIQUE:
Madre Dios!
Her face is bruised and torn. Both eyes are swollen shut and blood dribbles from her mouth and nose. He leans down close and listens to her breathing. He checks the pulse at her neck.
CUT TO:
INT. THE BOAT'S WHEELHOUSE. -- MOMENTS LATER
ENRIQUE returns and stomps up to JULIO. He punches him in the face knocking him to the floor.
ENRIQUE:
You stupid f*ck.
JULIO jumps to his feet and glowers back. A knife appears in his hand.
TOMAS:
See. I told you. He beat her to death.
ENRIQUE:
(to Tomas, but his eyes never leave Julio)
She's not dead, not yet. But she might as well be. Her face is ruined. She is worth nothing to us like that.
(eyes the knife in Julio's hand, suddenly slaps it out of his hand)
Five thousand dollars, he would have paid for that one. Young and pretty. He could have worked her for ten years, maybe more. Now....
(he stares out the window at the Galveston skyline)
Five minutes from shore and it's all for nothing.
TOMAS:
What do we do now?
ENRIQUE:
Dump her.
TOMAS:
But we can get something for her.
JULIO:
Yeah. Her face will heal.
ENRIQUE:
Her face won't heal. She won't live through the night. Dump her.
TOMAS starts to rise.
ENRIQUE:
Not you.
(to Julio)
Julio.
JULIO:
We are too close to shore. We should wait until --
ENRIQUE:
Dump her, goddamn it! The fucking sharks will take care of her.
JULIO:
What if --
ENRIQUE:
Now!
(points at the knife on the floor)
Or do you plan to pick that thing up and use it?
JULIO:
(under his breath)
ENRIQUE:
What did you say?
JULIO:
We will find another.
ENRIQUE:
You will find another. And that one you won't have.
Julio goes to dispose of the body.
CUT TO:
INT. ISABEL'S CABIN -- CONTINUOUS
JULIO unties Isabel's wrist and ankles tossing her about without any concern.
JULIO:
You stupid whore. Look what you've done.
He touches the side of his face. He spits on her.
JULIO:
Puta!
He bends and picks her up roughly.
CUT TO:
EXT. THE DECK OF THE BOAT -- CONTINUOUS
JULIO drops her over the side.
JULIO:
Stupid whore.
CUT TO:
INT. PAUL'S SLEEPING OFFICE -- NIGHT
PAUL is asleep in a cramped cot when there is an anxious knock on the door.
ROSALIE:
(through the door)
Paul! Wake up. Ambulance coming in. Four minutes. Beating victim. Sounds pretty bad.
PAUL:
(groaning)
All right. All right. I'm awake.
PAUL sits up, struggles for consciousness, then looks at the bedside clock. It is a few minutes past three. He throws the covers aside and walks to the wash basin where he hurriedly splashes cold water on his face.
