EXT. WILLKIE FARMER’S HOUSE – UNITED STATES – DAY (1960)

Big old house somewhere in the Midwest. Willkie Farmer a man in his early twenties exits home. His mother – CHARLOTTE – runs after him.

CHARLOTTE

Where are you going,В son?

WILLKIE

Ma, I’m not a small boy anymore,

don’t ask me where to? It’s time

for me to do a real man’s job!

CHARLOTTE

Well, you can look after cattle

here, it’s a man’s job

WILLKIE

(after aВ pause)

I’ll drop you a line, ma. Don’t

worry aboutВ me.

WILLKIE turns and walks away down the dusty road.

INT. BAR OWL – UNITED STATES – NIGHT (1960)

WILLKIE sits inВ aВ bar next toВ aВ middle-aged COWBOY, who sips his beer slowly. The man has aВ big SCAR on his left cheek. After aВ glass ofВ beer COWBOY turns his swarthy face toВ WILLKIE and looks at him with his piercing gray hawk-like eyes. COWBOY wipes his mouth with aВ sleeve.

COWBOY

Whiskey?

WILLKIE

(readily)

I wouldn’t mind.

COWBOY nods toВ the bartender. He pours the men two glasses ofВ spirits.

COWBOY

Where are you going, son… if it’s

not aВ secret?

WILLKIE

Looking forВ job!

COWBOY

What kind ofВ job?

WILLKIE

One that pays money

At this moment aВ doorway inВ the bar opens wide and THREE GENTLEMEN inВ suits enter.

COWBOY slowly puts his right hand under the table.

The GENTLEMEN say something toВ one ofВ the men inВ the bar and leave.

COWBOY follows them with his eyes, then turns toВ WILLKIE.

COWBOY

IВ might have aВ job for you,В son.

WILLKIE

What do IВ do?

COWBOY

What IВ tell youВ to.

WILLKIE

Nope! That will not do. TellВ me

what’s the job or I won’t go for it.

COWBOY

As you wish! (long beat) But IВ pay

with pure gold!

COWBOY takes out aВ little leather bag from his pocket and throws it on the table inВ front ofВ WILLKIE. AВ handful ofВ golden sand dusted on theВ top.

Looking at the bag, WILLKIE mutters something unintelligible. Seeing what aВ strong impression the gold has made on his new companion COWBOY grunts with satisfaction.

At this moment THREE MEN inВ suits enter the bar again. While WILLKIE weights the little bag inВ his hand, they approach him and the cowboy.

FIRST MAN INВ SUIT

Texas Police! Nick Gordon, followВ us.

The MAN in SUIT grabs the leather bag from Willkie’s hands.

FIRST MAN IN SUIT (CONT’D)

Heavy.

COWBOY takes out hisВ colt

COWBOY

It’s not yours

THE FIRST MAN throws the bag on the table and steps backwards.

FIRST MAN INВ SUIT

(quietly)

You’re dead!

COWBOY

Can IВ see you warrant, officers?

FIRST MAN INВ SUIT

Here itВ is.

He hits COWBOY’S hand with the gun. The fight starts.

BANG.
