3:10 to Yuma Page #20
Meanwhile, William rides to the CATTLE YARD next to the
station. He dismounts, keeping hidden...
...as he makes his way through the CATTLE towards the gate.
184 INT. TICKET BOOTH, TRAIN STATION - DAY
Wade stares at Dan in the ticket booth...
WADE:
There’s no sense putting me on this
train, Dan. I’ll be out within the
week.
...and Dan just stares at him, wounded, fading.
185 EXT. CATTLE YARD, TRAIN STATION - DAY
Now William quietly slips the CATTLE GATE open, then scuttles
back to his horse. The CATTLE stay in their yard, confused...
186 INT. TICKET BOOTH, TRAIN STATION - DAY
...as Wade makes his final plea to Dan:
WADE:
You made it further than anybody
ever expected. Most of all, me. You
did it. Go on home to your family.
Dan looks at him. Suddenly, they hear a TRAIN WHISTLE.
187 EXT. TRAIN STATION, CONTENTION - DAY
Here she comes, the 3:10 to Yuma. A STEAM-POWERED LOCOMOTIVE
hauling seven TRAIN CARRIAGES and a JAILHOUSE CABOOSE...
...all heads turn to watch as she puffs towards the station.
3:
10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 108.188 INT. TICKET BOOTH, TRAIN STATION - DAY
Dan and Wade peer over the TICKET COUNTER and see the train
coming towards them. And Dan just starts checking his ammo,
gearing up for the last few yards.
DAN:
Do me a favor, will you... When you
break out of Yuma, don’t go back to
your crew.
WADE:
What.
DAN:
Hang up your guns, settle down
somewhere. Raise a family...
(pause)
...that’s what you want, isn’t it.
WADE:
What the hell do you know about
what I want.
Dan finishes RELOADING.
189 EXT. TICKET BOOTH, CONTENTION - DAY
Charlie Prince keeps his SCHOFIELDS on the ticket booth as
CHARLIE PRINCE:
(to the gang)
They’ll be coming.
...the other outlaws now prepare for the final shoot-out. The
crowd, including Butterfield, watching anxiously behind them.
190 EXT. CATTLE YARD, TRAIN STATION - DAY
William gets ready on his horse at the back of the CATTLE as
the LOCOMOTIVE rolls past, HISSING STEAM out its wheels...
191 EXT. TICKET BOOTH, TRAIN STATION - DAY
...pulling into the station as the DOOR OPENS on the ticket
booth. Dan escorts Wade out, the HAMMER SHOTGUN at his back.
(CONTINUED)
109.
191
CONTINUED:
The OUTLAWS and the CONTENTION GUNMEN get set to fire...
192
EXT. CATTLE YARD, TRAIN STATION - DAY
...but then William suddenly fires a shot from his old PISTOL
and the spooked CATTLE begin to stampede out the open gate.
193
EXT. TICKET BOOTH, TRAIN STATION - DAY
Dan sees his son deftly whipping up the cattle...
...and for a moment, Dan’s furious. But then he realizes that
William’s driving the CATTLE between them and the outlaws.
The animals steam past the outlaws, blocking their line of
fire. Charlie Prince falls beneath them, engulfed in PLUMES
OF STEAM from the LOCOMOTIVE...
...we hear him SCREAM as the cattle trample him.
Dan and Wade break for the JAILHOUSE CABOOSE at the back of
the train. Keeping their heads low just beyond the CATTLE.
194
EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
An old PRISON GUARD on the JAILHOUSE CABOOSE sees Dan coming
with Wade. He rises to his feet, grabbing the JAILHOUSE KEYS
off the rack behind him...
DAN:
I’ve got a prisoner to go to Yuma.
Wade looks at Dan who appears shocked to have made it here.
To have been able to say those eight words.
195
EXT. TRAIN STATION, CONTENTION - DAY
Nobody can see anything through the large HERD OF CATTLE. Not
even WADE’S GANG who are effectively cut off from their boss.
110.
196
EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
A smile spreads across Dan’s weary face. Wade smiles, too.
Genuinely happy for him.
BANG! A GUNSHOT echoes through the train station.
WADE:
No.
Dan SCREAMS with pain, returning fire...
...it’s Charlie Prince. Materializing out of the steam. Beat-
up from the CATTLE STAMPEDE. Dan’s SHOTGUN clips his arm.
197
EXT. TRAIN STATION, CONTENTION - DAY
Everybody hears the shots. Peering through the rain and steam
from the locomotive. The outlaws pushing through the cattle.
198
EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
BANG! BANG! BANG! Charlie Prince cuts Dan down...
...ripping into his legs, his arms, his chest. The HAMMER
SHOTGUN falls to the soggy ground. His body spun around.
Wade leaps off the JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, flinging himself into
the line of fire. Charlie Prince stops firing just in time.
199
EXT. TICKET BOOTH, TRAIN STATION - DAY
CLOSE ON:
WILLIAM seeing his father fall as the cattle partsfifty feet away. A river of shock grips him like a vice.
200
EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
ANGLE ON:
WADE helpless to save Dan who collapses into themud, a look of shock on his face. Wade grinds to a halt next
to him...
...kneeling beside him, cradling the dying rancher’s head in
his lap. Charlie Prince triumphantly reloads his SCHOFIELDS.
WADE:
Dan.
(CONTINUED)
3:
10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 111.200 CONTINUED:
Dan looks up at Wade, bloody and weak... ...a faint grin...
201 EXT. TRAIN STATION, CONTENTION - DAY
Stricken, William stares at his father, twenty yards off, in
Wade’s arms, frozen. Butterfield approaches from behind.
202 EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
The other outlaws walk up now, holstering their weapons and
fetching horses. Gathering around Wade in a loose circle...
...as Charlie Prince struts over and grabs a CUFFS KEY from
the PRISON GUARD. He UNLOCKS Wade now, dropping the key and
Charlie Prince spits at Dan’s feet.
CHARLIE PRINCE:
(laughing)
For a one leg rancher, you was one
tough sonovabitch.
Wade gently sets Dan down. His gaze falls on the HAMMER
SHOTGUN lying nearby... his eyes go stone f***ing cold.
CLOSE ON:
CHARLIE PRINCE who has taken only a few steps, whenhe stops. An alarming sixth sense telling him to turn around.
203 EXT. TRAIN STATION, CONTENTION - DAY
William tries to run to his father, tears in his eyes, but
Butterfield grabs hold of him... pulls him under an overhang,
they are both getting wet.
BUTTERFIELD:
You need to stay here, son.
William kicks and claws at Butterfield.
WILLIAM:
Let go of me!
(CONTINUED)
3:
10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 112.203 CONTINUED:
BUTTERFIELD:
You can’t help him right now.
204 EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
...the outlaws have gone rock still in the rain. All eyes on
Wade and the SHOTGUN. Wade is just as still and silent.
Suddenly, Charlie Prince draws...
...BOOM! The HAMMER SHOTGUN bellows.
Catapulting Charlie back three feet.
205 EXT. TRAIN STATION, CONTENTION - DAY
As the shot rings out, William turns-- becomes still.
Everybody’s stunned and riveted.
MAN:
He shot one of his own men... He
just shot him.
206 EXT. JAILHOUSE CABOOSE, TRAIN STATION - DAY
Wade’s gang is shocked... ...and livid. Staring at Charlie
Prince lying on the ground. What happens next takes no more
than twenty seconds.
