JAKE
You mean you ain’t coming with Emmett and me?
PADEN
I can’t say I’m convinced you’re going anywhere.
JAKE
Sure we are. We’re leaving at dawn.
PADEN
I’ve got no reason to run. It was a fair fight and there were plenty of
witnesses.
JAKE
(bubbly)
Yeah, that’s what happened with me too.
PADEN
The other guy drew first.
JAKE
(same for him)
Right!
Paden looks a little discouraged, but is still unconvinced.
INT. SHERIFF’S OFFICE – DAWN
Deputy Block seems to be playing chess with Sheriff Langston. Langston makes a move, then slowly turns the chess pieces so he can play the opposing side, by himself. Now we hear FOOTSTEPS and BANGING outside.
STABLE BOY (O.S.)
Sheriff! Sheriff! Open up!
Langston unbolts the door.
STABLE BOY bounces at the door, pointing off.
STABLE BOY
Sheriff Langston, come quick!
He disappears. Langston goes out, calling back to Block —
LANGSTON
Lock this door and don’t let anybody in.
