AT THE BUNKHOUSE. Hoyt directs some of his men, including Scruffy, to work their way along under the eaves of the
bunkhouse and go after Paden. Hoyt glances upward toward the sound of Mal’s rifle.

INT. CASA GRANDE – SECOND FLOOR – DAY

Emmett moves away from the stairwell and cautiously rounds a corner, focused on an open bedroom door up ahead. Suddenly, the Guard Cowboy steps boldly into view in that doorway, gun raised, using Augie as a shield. Emmett cannot fire. He dives back around the corner as the Guard Cowboy gets off a shot. Seeing his miss, the Guard Cowboy slams closed the bedroom door and locks it.

Instantly Emmett is running that way. He flies into the bedroom next door.

INT. HOSTAGE BEDROOM – DAY

The Guard Cowboy has backed against the wall, gun raised toward the door. Augie is still clutched to his chest.

The window overlooking the roof of the veranda implodes and Emmett arrives in a shower of glass. The stunned Guard Cowboy spins, opening an angle between himself and Augie. Emmett doesn’t need much. He fires before he stops rolling. The Guard Cowboy falls back against the wall.

INT. CASA GRANDE – BOTTOM OF STAIRS – DAY

McKendrick, gun poised, stands over the body of the Watching Cowboy, reacting to the shots above. He is about to go up there when the front door crashes open as a Cowboy, shot by Mal, staggers into the hall. He leans against the hall table and fires out the door. Two more shots from Mal finish the Cowboy and a large vase.

McKendrick changes him mind about going upstairs. He moves quickly toward the door at the back of the house.

INT. HOSTAGE BEDROOM – DAY

Augie is trembling in Emmett’s arms. Emmett soothes him, then looks into his tear-stained face.

EMMETT
Augie, where’s Jake?

AUGIE
(chokes it out)
He’s dead.

Emmett reacts to this hard news.

AUGIE
He was trying to get away and he fell off his horse. Off a cliff.

Slowly a peculiar twinkle grows in Emmett’s eyes.
