The Shawshank Redemption Page #4

before it even feels the dart.

- Is there an antidote?

- Like if you shot yourself in the foot?

Don't do that.

You'd be dead before you realised it.

He says he's unloading us here.

He won't go further up the river.

He's heard too many stories.

He'll drop us off and anchor offshore.

What kind of stories?

Stories of fishermen that came too close

to the island and never returned.

He has a radio. He has a satellite phone.

When you need him,

call and he'll be here in two hours.

But he will not stay here.

He won't stay anywhere near these islands.

They call the islands "Las Cinco Muertes"?

What does that mean?

"The Five Deaths"...

he says.

I put a location sensor in Dr Harding's

phone, so we should get a reading.

- I'm so relieved.

- Don't push my buttons.

We're almost on top of her dot.

She should be around here.

Over there.

Sarah!

Sarah Harding!

How many Sarahs do you think

are on this island?

What?

Something big.

This is magnificent.

Yeah. "Ooh, ah",

that's how it always starts.

But then later

there's running and screaming.

Nick!

I guess you got the jump on us,

didn't you, Sarah?

Yeah.

Ian, I never thought Hammond

could get you to come here.

- Hi, Eddie.

- Hi, Sarah.

Got a granola bar or something?

I'm starving.

Did you see those animals?

A family group, a pair-bond and a subadult,

long after the juvenile was nest bound.

Every egg clutch I've seen has crushed,

trampled shells.

Hatchlings stay in the birth environment

a long time. That's conclusive.

I can end that controversy

if I get a shot of the nest.

Have you been attacked?

No, that's my lucky pack.

That's how it always looks.

Okay, Sarah...

Is that a Nikon? Can I borrow it?

I'll be right back, I promise.

When Hammond called you,

why didn't you say something to me?

I knew you would have stopped me

from coming.

I would have tied you to the bed.

- I know how they survived without lysine.

- I don't care.

The herbivore species that are thriving...

eat mostly agama beans, soy,

anything lysine-rich.

And the carnivores eat

the herbivores, so....

Wait.

Stay there. Be quiet. I'll be back.

Stay there.

She's much too close.

- What is she doing?

- Too close.

She has to touch it. She can't not touch.

- She's going right up to it.

- Once she sees something, she has to....

Is this even possible?

What?

This? What did you think you'd document?

What did you think you'd see?

Animals. maybe...

big iguanas.

Fruitcakes.

He got very angry.

Shoot him!

They're protecting their baby.

So am I!

I think they're leaving.

Incredible. Guys shoot their whole life

and never get stuff half this good.

Just give me the Pulitzer right now.
