CONTINUED:

Campos dives for cover amid a hail of bullets.

Like fighter pilots, the gang wheels in unison back around to

catch the coach on another pass.

CHARLIE PRINCE GALLOPS from the other side of the coach and

takes out the remaining Gatlin operator with two shots.

12 OMITTED

13 EXT. STAGECOACH-- CONTINUED

McElroy and the Pinkertons defend the coach valiantly. Taking

cover behind their ARMORED PLATES as the coach rattles along

the road. Another Pinkerton climbs from a hatch and re-mans

the Gatlin. He sends a spray of bullets toward the oncoming

gang-- another man falls.

The last Pinkerton (MOONS) inside the stagecoach takes aim

through the gun slit. He manages to HIT JORGENSEN.

The big man snaps backwards, falling to the ground, while

clutching HIS EAR...

CLOSE ON -- MCELROY’S EYES watching Sutherland and Tighe

approach from the driver’s side.

MCELROY:

(to driver)

Get. Down. Now!

McElroy swings his shotgun over the driver, who ducks, and

aims at Tighe but then aims lower, at his saddle bag-

He fires and-- BOOM!-- TIGHE AND HORSE EXPLODE IN MID-STRIDE.

THE COACH LURCHES INTO A NARROW PASS, making it hard for the

gang to follow.

13A EXT. BOULDER CLUSTER, DESERT VALLEY - DAY

Wade watches, amused, his eyes on McElroy as he directs the

coach to make a run for a narrow pass.

Wade smiles. These two have history. Then, he notices-- A

SCRAWNY HERD OF CATTLE on the other side of an outcropping.

Forty cows and bulls nibbling on what little they can find.

A thought flickers across Wade’s mind.

And he abruptly wheels his horse towards the animals.

14 EXT. FOOTHILLS, DESERT VALLEY - DAY

Dan and his sons have stopped their horses over the ridge,

listening to the GUNSHOTS. Sounds like a warzone.
