THOMAS Think on it quick -- if I’m digging a hole I’d rather do it before the sun’s high.
Shea takes that in. Lowers the pistol. SHEA I’m coming. Shea stares at the rising sun for a moment, then stands and walks toward Thomas ... It is only now that we see the PINKERTON DETECTIVE AGENCY badge on his chest. He takes the reins of his horse, swings into the saddle. They turn their backs to the sun and ride like they are running from it ... EXT. RIVER VALLEY -- MORNING. CAMERA looks down on a wagon pulled by four horses through a field. Fast ... Behind it, five men on horseback race after the wagon. One rider comes alongside it and a gunshot echoes out over the valley ... The rider wheels his horse away and another races up, readies a pistol to shoot the wagon-driver, when the wagon pulls to a stop and the rider suddenly finds himself ahead of the wagon. BOOM. The man is blasted off his horse. The wagon resumes hauling ass away from its pursuers ... ANGLE ON -- Shea and Thomas look down from a ridge overlooking the wagon and its attackers. THOMAS Pretty smart. SHEA They won’t fall for it again. Soon enough they’ll just shoot his horses. THOMAS
Horses is probably what they’re after. Farmers ain’t got nuthin’ else worth taking.
