Bone Tomahawk Page #3

Synopsis: After an outlaw unknowingly leads a band of cannibalistic Troglodytes into the peaceful western town of Bright Hope, the monsters kidnap several settlers, including the wife of a local rancher. Despite his injured leg the rancher joins a small rescue party with the sheriff, his aging deputy and a strong-willed gunslinger. What follows is a journey into hell on earth as the posse comes to realize it is up against a foe whose savagery knows no bounds. The film takes place at the turn of the century around the border of what is now Texas and New Mexico.

Deep. I took his equipment.

I have my own.

Does yours contain two

bottles of vodka?

Where's the drifter?

He's in jail.

Arthur?

Yeah?

I need to extract a bullet.

Mr. Brooder shall escort me.

Okay. John?

Yes?

If you make any

flirtatious remarks

in my wife's presence

there'll be a reckoning.

I'll behave, cowboy.

Please keep your

leg elevated.

I'll do it.

Bye.

Bye.

You have a gift.

I have four brothers and

grew up in cold weather.

Checkers is all we did.

You ever beat Nick

in a checkers match?

Nope. Though we

only played twice.

I haven't had a different

result in a 100 games.

Maybe I shouldn't bet.

What's that?

A blonde hair.

Looks like from a woman.

I told you his manner

was suspicious.

That's you, Doc?

It's John Brooder.

I brought Mrs. O'Dwyer.

Good evening, Mrs. O'Dwyer.

Ma'am.

Thank you for comin'.

Happy to help.

You can go.

You're welcome.

Fling the gate.

What do you need from us?

-A pot of boiling water.

-I'll get it.

Can you remove his chains?

No, ma'am.

He's that dangerous?

He buried that stuff

outside of town.

It's not his, and it's got

bloodstains all over it.

He's boiling.

I only shot him in the leg.

-Well, that's his hobby.

-Deputy.

Not every man who leaps in

front of your pistol is hale.

Do what you can for him.

Very likely he's gonna get

hanged but it'd be nice

if the families of the people he

bushwhacked could come to town

and watch him

go purple on the rope.

Well, that should inspire her.

Deputy.

I want you to stay

here tonight.

Help Mrs. O'Dwyer with

whatever she needs.

Lock everything up and escort

her home when she's done.

Isn't that why we have

a backup deputy for?

Oh, no, I'll take

care of things.

I don't sleep few hours,

anyway.

Nick stays.

I want you to get some rest.

You did real good tonight.

Oh!

Does he have a name?

He proffered "Buddy"

but that's probably somebody

he hates or who's dead.

Very well. Please let my

husband know not to wait up.

I'll need to stay and

monitor the patient's fever

after the surgery.

Yes, ma'am.

Chicory.

Wait a minute.

Hey, I'm doin' lot better

than I thought.

Much better.

You're looking at my

side of the board.

Good night.

Good night,

Mrs. O'Dwyer.

Good night.

Good night, ma'am.

It's heating up.

Please don't stick your

fingers in the water.

Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry.

Thanks for lettin' me know.

Thanks for loanin' her out.

So, Deputy Nick's

gonna bring her back?

He will.

How's your wife doing?

Better. Thought maybe

it was pneumonia

but seems like it was

just a bad cold.

Good to hear.

Give her my regards.

I will.

Good night.

Dear Samantha,

I hope things are going good
