(Marius rides down a trail by the riverbank. He looks very weary. His horse looks even more weary than he does.)

MARI
(Patting his horse on the neck. )
You need to stop girl? Alrighty. We can't stop for too long though. They'll be following us.

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh9Mr1kzRo
(Mari hops off the horse. Cut to him sitting in a makeshift camp eating a biscuit. He has his rifle out and sitting on his lap. A branch snaps in the woods and he jumps up and aims his rifle. He looks back and forth for a few moments before he sits back down.)

MARI
(Speaking quietly to the horse (but more to himself))
It ain't nothing, girl. It ain't nothing. Be calm. Just be calm.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO68GHpgW7
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwN0IY079K
(There's another snap and Mari stands up again. He is very jumpy. There is another snap. And another one. It becomes clear that something is crashing through the woods and headed right for him. He aims his gun at the oncoming sound. A girl, filthy and bloody comes crashing out of the brush. He jumps back at the sight of her and she freezes in her tracks.)

You gotta be quiet or he'll hear us!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBDOAY9H0s
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLRi1TNclO
MARI
Who'll hear us?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vCykHzmsr
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtUjfTl1Sw
(A voice cries out in the distance.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Y5LSZNOZ
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUSwp8tgnT
STUMPY
(Still far away)
Edith! Where are you girl? You best get back to me before I give you a beatin you ain't never gonna forget!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEZB5LvZHx
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eJaYOUJvz
EDITH
(In great distress. She is almost to the point of having a panic attack.)
Oh! He heard us! He's gonna pound me proper this time!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFopjhWkUH
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUOCVaAk6m
MARI
Is that your daddy?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7zKTTNro2
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmpJV8dAlg
EDITH
It ain't my daddy. My daddy wouldn't never lay hands on me the way he does. He killed my daddy over a game of horseshoes and took me for his own.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZsPXzPCzv
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pu0ldGusp
MARI
Then who is it?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5speGx7KzC
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDMiOAnnvR
EDITH
It's my husband, Stumpy.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC65rUzGic2
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBokJBTABAb
(Mari looks taken aback. The girl couldn't be more than nine or ten years old.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhewVTVWul
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kZjjU9Yxn
MARI
You ain't old enough to be married!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS5UThFvrg
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYMj6XoHEH
EDITH
Tell that to the bastard chasing me. I been married to him for two years now!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JAsvnJKgc
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfqeZ7tsix
MARI
But that ain't legal? Have you gone to the law?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevkwKNSeYE
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ5I9JpqUz
EDITH
The law don't give a coon's ass about what lowborn hill folk do. A judge rode up while Stumpy was putting himself in me. They both laughed about it. The judge stayed the night in our barn, but before he went to bed he and Stumpy took turns on me. Then the next day Stumpy hit me in the head so hard that my bell was rung for three days. Said it were for laying with another man.

(The crashing and yelling through the woods gets closer. )
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABa883ZoI4
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOTgDgoVQs
MARI
So you running away?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRP3WxcV3
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnWPdPkqqK
EDITH
I'm ta try finding my aunt in the west. Last I heard she was in EverGreen. Are you headed that way, mister? Will you help me?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59fFHTbb73
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjkl3L70Y
(Mari contemplates the situation. It's obvious he is torn. )
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21SqGgBRh
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyaX6yWPSU
EDITH
I won't be no trouble! I promise! Please mister! He gonna kill me this time!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfz0rHel2h
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cWgu1kLV
(The voice is almost to them.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6AQco6gdY

STUMPY

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuV9jmAWAq
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHHrjf7bBk
MARI
Get behind me.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUJiafTDQ1
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgcvEZVUIw
(Edith quickly cowers behind Mari. A dirty little hillbilly man with a shotgun and a lantern comes crashing out of the brush. Mari has his rifle leveled at him.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbs9Ol2bug
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebn4wnJ5wV
MARI
She's talking to me.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30MEZ3VGrZ

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lEpI8XziB
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu6wJQUU89
MARI
Stay back. You put that shotgun down. Now.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq9BTwbF9J
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCsaWv2QSz
(Stumpy considers aiming the shotgun, but he knows he would die quickly. So he begrudgingly sits it down with open arms.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG0ltuWFwT
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsxW5Rh9ya
STUMPY
That's my goddamn wife.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtS9zPx7nE
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR2K6mXpAI
MARI
She's a child. She ain't old enough to be anybody's wife.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgVeB8dFx
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jjjhQjFPb
STUMPY
She's plenty old. And that ain't your damn business. Now, girl, you get over here or I'm gonna come over there and fetch you.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbDZHl47Xz
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMgQQMLwAm
EDITH
I ain't going nowhere with you, Stumpy! I'm done with your beatings!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc5njgQoB9
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSPHzHgGDJ
STUMPY
Damn you girl! You get over here now or I'll be sticking myself in your butthole tonight! You won't be able to sit proper for a month!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfbeGwbh8k
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1gF4li2pg
(Stumpy lunges forward. Mari's training kicks in. He pushes his rifle forward and hits Stumpy right between the eyes with the barrel. Stumpy cries out in pain and staggers back. When he looks back at Mari there is blood running from the cut. )
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmcmaAVXat

STUMPY

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1vkx4yl82
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoCsifp115
(Stumpy moves for the shotgun. Right as he is about to grab it Mari shoots him in the shoulder.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxDJOQnU9

STUMPY
You cocksucker! Oh you son of a cunt!

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ4M97ni2s

STUMPY

Imma find the Judge and be back! The whore is real familiar with him! You'll hang!
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuWNbb0ids
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUrBtXREud
(Edith throws another rock and strikes Stumpy in the forehead. Stumpy is now bleeding from three different wounds.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJj0NOcTdQ

STUMPY

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeREpO6yAo5
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvhSLorh3S

STUMPY
Dirty cocksucker. I'll split your throat for this.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb54jet6cX
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo1gWDFy9q
(Stumpy walks into the woods. Muttering curses and threats the entire way. Mari walks over and takes the shotgun. He hands it to Edith.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT50Tr6USi
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtElFen7Bue
MARI
You know how to use this?
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkRRYtxHpE
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3XyZXXCGI
EDITH
Turn it towards someone and pull the trigger.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6h81HzUB6
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9ZMwIDFE9

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9CeOdrep3
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHFoFaRsc0
EDITH
He ain't coming back tonight. He ain't got the gumption for it. His brothers is four days away towards Oxpoint. He ain't nearly as mean as they are.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfPr0PE51g
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvCXLtnWWp

880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSLYrDzO1A
MARI
(Thinks for a moment.)
I have to get West myself, but I can't have you holding me up. I gotta get there fast.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d6V7w8AOP
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpD5r00JNO
EDITH
I won't hold you up none. I know a place where we can get horse for me tomorrow. We will be on the way before mid morning.
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVREnHQUsxX
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxfVzEwKnb
(Mari nods. It's clear he is worried about the situation.)
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UVnTvng87
880Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE49F2qMJrg
MARI
It'll probably get me killed, but I'll get you to Evergreen. Now get some rest. We have a long haul to the crossing tomorrow.
