EXT. APPROACHING CHIMAYO - DAY

Emmett and Paden, who is still clad only in longjohns, ride

toward the low, adobe settlement of Chimayo.

EXT. ENTERING CHIMAYO - DAY

Emmett and Paden enter the town past a cluster of teepees.

Three Cavalry troopers ride past them.

EXT. STREET - CHIMAYO - DAY

The little settlement is the center of civilization for miles

around. The U. S. Cavalry maintains an outpost here, and

there are many soldiers on the street. Emmett and Paden pull

up to the general store. Paden dismounts and hands his reins

to Emmett. Passersby look with curiosity at the undressed

Paden.

EMMETT:

I'll get these horses tended.

Paden nods and looks doubtfully at the store. He scratches

himself. Emmett produces some money and flips Paden a coin.

Paden nods.

PADEN:

I'm good for it.

Emmett rides up the street, leading the pinto. Paden starts

toward the store and nearly collides with a shocked woman,

who covers the eyes of the little girl with her and crosses

the street. Paden gives an apologetic tip to his non-existent

hat as he watches them go. Before he can turn back to the

store, his eye is caught by something up the street. He reacts

big.

WHAT HE SEES. His horse, a good-looking bay. And, dawdling

his way out of a saloon, a disreputable-looking Cowboy.

Paden's hand slaps his side, where his gun should be. He

grimaces and looks around desperately, then hurries into the

store.

INT. STORE - DAY

The lone CLERK is showing a woman customer a bolt of cloth

at the back of the store. Paden hurries in and makes a bee-

line to the display case holding handguns and ammo. He spots

something he likes and taps the glass impatiently. The Clerk

reacts with distaste to Paden's appearance.

PADEN:

Excuse me, there --

CLERK:

I'll be with you in a moment, sir.

Paden looks out the front window, up the street. The Cowboy

is untying the bay's reins.

Paden, more agitated now, glances back at the Clerk, then

moves around and opens the back of the display case. He

extracts a shiny, new Colt .45. The Clerk reacts with alarm

and moves toward Paden.
