a merciless fighter. He’s been with Wade since the beginning.
Darden taunts Nez with his long knife, oblivious to Wade’s
approach-- He and Jackson trade a chuckle.
Nez looks at Wade. And Wade looks at Darden hard.
DARDEN:
Ben.
Darden slips the knife back in the sheaf.
Wade turns his eyes to the road below.
...and here comes the STAGECOACH, GETTING CLOSER.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED:
Wade turns to Charlie and gives a nod...
...and the gang surges behind Charlie Prince. As everyone
rides past him, Campos the marksman looks back to Wade. Wade
nods to a CLUSTER OF BOULDERS nearby.
Campos climbs off his horse and scales the rocks.
10A EXT. STAGECOACH, DESERT VALLEY - DAY
CLOSE ON:
GALLOPING HOOVES thundering down a desert road.A team of FOUR HORSES pulling an ARMORED STAGECOACH through a
barren stretch of land.
We see a fancy EYE LOGO stamped upon the door with the famous
Pinkerton slogan printed below: The Eye That Never Sleeps...
There are SIX PINKERTONS riding. Two in front, two on a
mounted “tailgun” platform and two inside, peering out slits.
THE VETERAN DRIVER pushes the horses.
Sitting beside him is the sixth man and the group’s leader-
BYRON McELROY (55). McElroy is clearly not a Pinkerton, and
hardly dressed or groomed like one. He’s got snake-like eyes.
He holds a mean-looking, twelve-gauge HAMMER SHOTGUN.
10B EXT. FOOTHILLS, DESERT VALLEY - DAY
Dan’s crouched next to his horse, gazing at one of his cows
which has collapsed upon the arid earth, gasping...
Dan glances up at the sky, then he pulls out the BROOCH in
his grimy hands.
Twenty feet away, William sits on his horse behind Dan,
WILLIAM:
You gonna hock that?
Dan pockets it.
DAN:
Someday, William. You walk in my
shoes, you might understand.
WILLIAM:
I’m never walking in your shoes.
(CONTINUED)
10B CONTINUED:
Mark calls out from a nearby ridge:
MARK:
Tracks over here!
Dan takes the SPENCER RIFLE from his saddle. Standing over
the dying creature. Looking in its eyes as he FIRES...
10C CLOSE ON-- WADE, WATCHING COACH FROM HILLTOP
The SHOT ECHOES faintly through the foothills. Wade peers
around behind him. He shrugs it off, focusing back on his
outfit below.
11 EXT. STAGECOACH, DESERT VALLEY - DAY
McElroy stiffens as-- WADE’S GANG appears suddenly on the
road ahead coming straight at the coach, head on. McElroy
sees them and grimaces. Cocking both pins on his SHOTGUN.
MCELROY:
Here we go.
With proficiency, the other Pinkertons flip down or slide
across several ARMORED STEEL PLATES in front of them...
...and in the next second, the outlaws and the Pinkertons
clash in a violent FUSILLADE OF BULLETS.
TWO PINKERTONS MAN THE GATLIN mounted at the rear.
Unfortunately it is exactly where the gang isn’t (they’re
coming from the front) and they have no shot.
The Pinkertons fire as Wade’s gang rides straight at them, a
game of chicken.
Bullets exploding around him, McELROY AIMS AT ONE OF THE
-- BANG! -- With one shot he blows the outlaw off his horse.
As the gang swarms around them -- RATATATAT. PINKERTONS FIRE
THE GATLIN, spraying the gang, mowing down another outlaw.
Suddenly, one of the Pinkertons on the gatlin falls back,
shot by-- CAMPOS, at his sniper’s perch-- rifle smoking.
The remaining Pinkerton cradles the ammo and swings the big
brass gun at Campos, twisting the crank.
