Kate vigorously shakes a tablecloth over the railing and turns back inside, talking as she goes.

KATE
Augie, I’ve had enough of this. Kiss your father and get in bed.

She closes the door behind her. Mal sees the cowboy called Red coming down the street and hurries away in the direction he came from.

Red comes up to the WATCHING COWBOY.

INT. RAE’S ROOM – MIDNIGHT STAR (SECOND FLOOR) – NIGHT

Rae is finishing her evening’s makeup in the cracked mirror of her cramped, little room. Mal slides in the door behind her, closing it quickly. He carries his rifle. She sees his reflection and stiffens but continues making up.

RAE
Get out. We have nothing to talk about.

MAL
Rae, I need help.

RAE
Why come to me?

MAL
Because you’re my sister. There’s nobody else.
(a beat)
The men who killed Daddy are after Jake. I gotta talk to him.

RAE
What’s stopping you?

MAL
They’re watching the Hollis place. I can’t get through.

RAE
What makes you think I could?

MAL
Why would they stop you?

RAE
(bitter irony)
Because I’m your sister.

Mal sits down on her bed. She looks at him a moment.

RAE
Wait here.

RED
No sign of him yet?
(“no”)
He ain’t at the saloon either.
