M.I.A. A Greater Evil Page #3

Come on out you a**hole,

I've got a gun.

I aint askin' again.

Steve!

Don't point that gun at me.

Go tie him up.

What are you talking about,

he's not a prisoner.

It's what he deserves, sneaking

around in the middle of the night.

Put the gun down.

Jez

What are you afraid of?

Not you that's for sure,

a**hole.

I'm sorry about him, but

you scared us.

Please sit.

What are you doing

out here so late?

Do you live nearby?

Do you have a name?

I am the guide.

The guide? What do you guide?

I guide people out

of the jungle.

We don't need you help man.

We know where we are.

Just leave us alone.

You should not be here.

Where, in Laos?

There are many dangers.

Yeah, like tigers, elephants,

snakes, bears.

We know the risks out here, man.

Other dangers.

Other dangers?

You are all in this jungle.

Surrounded by 70 million

years of history.

Where a human life,

can pass by in the

blink of an eye.

It's pathetic. This

guy's still trying to sell us.

We don't scare that easy.

You must go quickly.

Why? You got some drug operation

you're protecting?

Some tiger poaching going on?

We'll be gone tomorrow. We just

checked the river for gold,

we found...

He doesn't need to know what we found.

He sticks to his business,

we stick to ours.

Hey.

You.

Hey man, back the f*** off.

Jez, it's ok.

What are you going to do?

I'm here to help you.

F***ing leave her alone. Go!

I'll go.

But others will come for you.

And they'll get some

of this too. Now git!

Hey man, where the f***

are you going?

The gold that you stole from the

river, it must be put back.

No f***ing way!

You cannot steal from it.

You cannot hide from it.

It is coming for you.

What is?

Whatever old man.

Back the f*** off!

Jez put the gun down.

Jesus! That was an accident.

See what happens when you

point guns at people?

Are you taking your meds?

I didn't think I needed them.

Goddamn it!

What meds is he on?

Bipolar disorder.

You need to take control.

Ok, listen up.

It was an accident.

Jez didn't mean to kill him.

We all saw that.

But now we've got to deal

with what's happened.

What are we gonna do?

Move the body away

from the camp.

Tomorrow we go downriver

to the next town,

take the body with us and

report the accident.

Wait.

Is that a good idea?

We don't know who he is.

What if he is with the authorities? I

don't want to spend the rest of my

life in a f***ing

Laotian prison.

So, what do you suggest?

Leave him. He's dead already.

Let's just bury him and be on our way.

Nobody needs to know.

No. We've got to do the right

thing, and that's final.

Give me a hand.

I've never seen a dead

body before.

I've never killed anyone before.
