3:10 to Yuma Page #7

It’s obviously the first time the children have ever seen a

killing. Mark is shaken... William fascinated...

...and we see that Dan’s all too aware of this.

WILLIAM:

He is fast...

DAN:

Back up. Quietly. William.

Rocks start to slide as Dan moves them to a less exposed

point.

26 EXT. STAGECOACH, DESERT VALLEY - DAY

BACK AT THE COACH, WADE reloads his smoking pistol as he

speaks to Darden stuggling for last breaths on the dirt.

WADE:

...Well, Tommy. It appears there

was a Pink in that coach you didn’t

see. Now I don’t know if Charlie

told you, but we got a few rules in

this outfit. And this sad outcome,

well, this is what happens when you

put us all at risk. You were weak.

Some rocks fall in the distance, from where Dan and his sons

are making a retreat. A boy coughs. The whole gang hears it.

CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

Ten guns whip to the ridge. Cocked and leveled at Dan.

Wade leaps on his his horse, GALLOPING up to the ridge WITH

CHARLIE PRINCE AND CAMPOS RIGHT BEHIND HIM.

Jackson starts to pick up the money... ...but Nez gets there

first. Placing the SADDLE BAGS full of cash onto his horse.

The other outlaws watch him.

27 EXT. RIDGE, DESERT VALLEY - DAY

Dan rides in front of his two boys as Wade and Charlie Prince

approach. Wade and Dan stare at one another.

WADE:

Morning.

DAN:

Those are my cattle. I want them

back.

CHARLIE PRINCE:

Careful, rancher. That’s Ben Wade

you’re talking to.

10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 14A.

CONTINUED:

We see William, awestruck.

DAN:

I need them back.

They’re all I’ve got.

WADE:

I don’t want your herd. But I’m

going to need those horses.

CHARLIE PRINCE:

(moves forward)

So you don’t do anything foolish.

Dan sheaths his rifle and gives his boys a look. They

dismount and Charlie Prince takes their horses.

WADE:

You’ll find them on the trail to

Bisbee.

The two outlaws turn, taking the horses, riding down the hill

leaving Dan his boys.

28 EXT. STAGECOACH, DESERT VALLEY - DAY

...we FOLLOW Wade, Prince and Campos as they ride away.

CAMPOS:

(quietly, to Prince)

What’s in Bisbee.

CHARLIE PRINCE:

‘Aint you thirsty.

Charlie rides past the WRECKAGE and the gang falls in behind.

Charging down the road. Jackson lags, circling Darden’s body.

29 EXT. STAGECOACH, DESERT VALLEY - DAY

Minutes later. Dan leads his sons through the cattle which

are milling about the WRECKAGE. Dan looks for survivors.

DEAD BODIES. A few DEAD STEER.

And one of the HORSES that pulled the coach, also dead.
