EMMETT
Blind Pete always said you’d hang.
Jake’s eyes flick over Emmett, but his expression doesn’t change.
EMMETT
I guess tomorrow at dawn he’ll be proved right.
LANGSTON
Ten A.M.
EMMETT
Right… I thought they always did it at dawn.
(to Jake)
So long, kid. I’m sorry.
Emmett walks out. Jake watches as the other two follow.
EXT. STREET – NIGHT
Emmett and Paden walk along the sparsely populated sidewalk. They are quiet for a few moments. Finally —
PADEN
I hate to see any man swing. Bad luck.
EMMETT
Bad luck for me. Now I gotta bust him out of there.
Paden stops. Emmett has moved a couple more steps before he notices and turns back to Paden.
PADEN
You’ll have to deal me out on that. I’ve had some experience with that sort of thing, and I don’t want any
more.
EMMETT
I understand.
PADEN
It’s not going to be easy.
