(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.

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oSCrbyph0
(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.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPGbx3sxO7
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBwonEiScz
(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.)

MARI
Who'll hear us?
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RcBG5UfU3
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVL7F11lWH
(A voice cries out in the distance.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTOLyWnvwq
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjXvya2Du
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!
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RUZVVfHro
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuErdCzd9

(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!
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPFizplOx0
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAHaHmwDyd
MARI
Is that your daddy?
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxCg52Nx8k
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616Ao1xPON
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.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnCSlc3c03
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Sx6KSD13
MARI

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO0zJTmF5L
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVxGTjMC6Z
EDITH
It's my husband, Stumpy.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzVayAsG15
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ryLNiwU9
(Mari looks taken aback. The girl couldn't be more than nine or ten years old.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRzlJtphC
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdKNmmTRqS
MARI
You ain't old enough to be married!
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj95osZXDry
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX9U7aS8m5
EDITH
Tell that to the bastard chasing me. I been married to him for two years now!
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEk79FuQj3
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbvn88Qw1h
MARI
But that ain't legal? Have you gone to the law?
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ06wNNmhOR
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxusNw9f98
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.

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02OHOxAIQF

MARI
So you running away?

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnt8eCRSS
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsLhW3kOYr
(Mari contemplates the situation. It's obvious he is torn. )
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4Tsi4BT23
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXdnFzSr7Y
EDITH
I won't be no trouble! I promise! Please mister! He gonna kill me this time!

MARI

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5JFTiQQus
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvFeBhUu2j
(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.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gA5lfb92Z
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNljI14a9mI
MARI
She's talking to me.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSn8OcWrrW

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI77wDM1yyZ
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9rTLpUTjC
MARI
Stay back. You put that shotgun down. Now.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosCt0QhLTZ
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DX9TQ9f2l
(Stumpy considers aiming the shotgun, but he knows he would die quickly. So he begrudgingly sits it down with open arms.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewQvLvwwf8
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyEKllFcpj
STUMPY
That's my goddamn wife.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0iv42JjD
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDAhbFqa5q
MARI
She's a child. She ain't old enough to be anybody's wife.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOtHd4Ymic
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkQvjabEkA
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.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN5bIv16La
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWhUbrso7

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml8jnq0D57
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!
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYmlu5kltV
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OHfcc4HGs
(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. )
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvkHvTXbLy

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhxEq1W38o
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8tdYjPUbp
(Stumpy moves for the shotgun. Right as he is about to grab it Mari shoots him in the shoulder.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuVH4kJbQa

STUMPY

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STJpCtIHB
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3bwYWpO23
(Edith throws another rock and strikes Stumpy in the forehead. Stumpy is now bleeding from three different wounds.)

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqxLNp7foQ
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHL3X7VXoN

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5in62RHC8
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF0xKNwbqi
(Stumpy walks into the woods. Muttering curses and threats the entire way. Mari walks over and takes the shotgun. He hands it to Edith.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd917fC6x6Z
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNsI3VwH5p
MARI
You know how to use this?
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2149IHnjI
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriXT49f8LI
EDITH

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zyE6doNzb
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAZPWMEq6y

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitaij1i4hx
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cowYTM2zV
EDITH

914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1gYe45Qvq
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVY7W8UNUR

(Thinks for a moment.)
I have to get West myself, but I can't have you holding me up. I gotta get there fast.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7PQ7dtjMV
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA24RAwscQ0
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.
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHqX4kjCp2
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiThNr3L4Lq
(Mari nods. It's clear he is worried about the situation.)
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXWYRZMm3o
914Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4RFo48wNy
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.
