EXT. RIVER CROSSING (VARIOUS SHOTS) – DAY

The wagon train splashes noisily across the river, drivers yelling loudly to urge on their teams. Emmett, Paden, Mal,
and Jake, on horseback, direct the crossing.

EXT. APPROACHING SILVERADO – DAY

The wagon train is moving through pretty, rolling country. Mal rides up to join Emmett and Paden on point ahead of the train. In his hand is a yellowed letter. He points off to the south where a dramatic half-dome of rock towers above
the hills.

MAL
This is it, gents. My mama told me to head south thru that notch.

PADEN
Good luck, Mal.

EMMETT
Maybe we’ll see you sometime.

MAL
(doesn’t think so)
Yeah… maybe. So long.

JAKE

So long, Mal!

MAL

Bye!

He rides away, and he doesn’t look back.
