57 OMITTED
58 EXT. EVANS RANCH, FOOTHILLS -- LATE AFTERNOON
DAN’S CATTLE are back in the holding yard. Dan stands on the
porch with Alice. His two boys inside, pressed against the
windows.
WHAT THEY SEE:
THE PRISON WAGON is passing their ranch,crossing a CRUDE BRIDGE over a dry creek bed. They also see
Charlie Prince crest a nearby bluff, watching the wagon.
59 INT./EXT. PRISON WAGON, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
Inside the wagon, Wade glances at his HAND CUFFS and grins
self-assuredly. He notices a tear in the seat.
A PIECE OF COPPER WIRING sticking out.
All of a sudden, the PRISON WAGON LURCHES TO A STOP. One of
the wheels has skidded off A CRUDE BRIDGE.

10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 33.60 EXT. PRISON WAGON, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
Marshal Weathers curses, leaps down and attempts to free the
wheel.
Wade glances out through the chained door, watching the
marshal’s futile struggle...
...finally, Marshal Weathers turns to Dan on the porch.
MARSHAL WEATHERS
Hello, there. Evans. Can you give
me a hand with this.
61 EXT. PORCH, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
On cue, Dan walks out. Tucker and Crawley follow.
TUCKER:
Whatever your wife is cooking in
there smells good, Evans.
Tucker and Crawley laugh.
62 EXT. BLUFF, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
Charlie Prince squints to get a look at what’s going on as
the men from the ranch disappear behind the listing PRISON
WAGON and begin to push it back up onto the bridge.
63 EXT. PRISON WAGON, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
Wade quickly pockets the length of COPPER WIRING as Marshal
Weathers discreetly UNLOCKS the prison wagon door and hauls
Wade out. Crawley exchanges hats with the outlaw...
...now Marshal Weathers gives Tucker the key to WADE’S HAND
CUFFS. We see Tucker placing the key in his shirt pocket.
WADE:
Remind me never to play cards in
this town.
Crawley now takes Wade’s place inside the PRISON WAGON...
...and Marshal Weathers PADLOCKS the door again. Wade watches
the men finally push the PRISON WAGON back onto the bridge.
3:
10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 34.64 EXT. BLUFF, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
The switch has taken just a few fast seconds -- and from his
vantage point on the bluff, Charlie Prince is none the wiser.
65 EXT. PRISON WAGON, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
Marshal Weathers resumes his seat on the PRISON WAGON...
MARSHAL:
Thanks for your help, Dan.
DAN:
You gonna check on my family when
you come back, right?
MARSHAL:
First thing. Let’s go. Ya!
The coach rides off, fast, leaving Wade behind with them.
A cloud of dust rises.
66 EXT. BLUFF, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
Thinking Wade’s still in the PRISON WAGON, Charlie Prince
wheels his horse around, GALLOPING away from the ranch...
67 EXT. PORCH, EVANS RANCH --LATE AFTERNOON
...as Dan and Tucker lead Wade up to the porch. McElroy and
Butterfield appear in the doorway. Wade nods to Alice, but
she glares. McElroy pushes Wade inside...
ALICE:
How long’s he have to stay.
DAN:
An hour. Make sure Wade’s outfit
takes the bait.
ALICE:
What happens if they catch the
wagon.
DAN:
You saw where his man was. He’s
still got to fetch the outfit. They
should get to the Fort before dawn.

POTTER:
His gang can’t do anything in front
68 EXT. EVANS RANCH, FOOTHILLS --DUSK
Doc Potter keeps watch on Dan’s porch with Tucker. Both men
cradling RIFLES in their laps.
Doc Potter stares at the smouldering wreck of the old barn.
DOC POTTER:
You have something to do with that?
(off Tucker’s smirk)
Hope you’re proud of yourself.
TUCKER:
...Doing my job, Doc.
69 INT. DINING ROOM, EVANS RANCH - DUSK
Inside, Alice prepares dinner. The two boys carry plates to
the table where Butterfield is waiting...
...we see William, starstruck, offering a plate to Wade who’s
sitting at the end of the table. He smiles a thanks. McElroy
sits next to the outlaw, his HAMMER SHOTGUN in his hands.
Dan sits at the other end of the table, joining Alice and his
sons. He notices William staring at Wade. Wade nods to
William and digs into his food. Then Wade looks up, no one
else is eating.
MARK:
We always wait to say Grace.
ALICE:
And we don’t presume to teach other
people manners.
MARK:
Aren’t we supposed to say Grace for
murderers, too.
ALICE:
Grace is for everybody, dear.
MARK:
Well, then why don’t we say it.
(CONTINUED)

10 TO YUMA - TAN - 1.23.07 36.CONTINUED:
DAN:
Mark -
MCELROY:
I’d like to hear it.
Everyone looks at McElroy. Wade snorts a laugh.
ALICE:
God, our Father, Lord and Savior,
thank you for your love and favor.
Please bless this drink and food we
pray. Bless all who...
(glancing at Wade)
...who shares with us today. Amen.
Wade looks up at McElroy who’s watched him throughout...
...the others start eating their dinners. William glances at
Wade constantly. Mark just stares at the outlaw suspiciously.
MARK:
You know, if my pa wants to, he can
shoot you dead. He can shoot a jack
rabbit at fifty yards.
DAN:
Shooting animals is a lot different
to shooting a man, son.
WADE:
No, it isn’t. Not in my opinion.
Silence promptly falls in the room.
WADE (CONT’D)
Ask Byron here. He’s killed dozens
of people. Men, women and children.
Miners. Apache.
MCELROY:
There’s not a soul I’ve taken
didn’t deserve what it got.
Just the answer Wade was hoping for.
WADE:
See, when it comes to killing,
Byron McElroy doesn’t think in
terms of man or woman or even
child...

(2)WADE (cont'd)
(pause)
...he thinks of souls.
MCELROY:
Corrupted souls. Like yours.
WADE:
Pinkerton Detective agency and
eighteen dollars a day plus
expenses.
MCELROY:
Yes sir.
WADE:
Every way of man is right in his
own eyes, Byron. The Lord pondereth
the heart.
(meets eyes with Alice)
Proverbs... twenty one.
William smiles. Wade glances at the boy and contentedly looks
down to his plate. He tries to eat his meat. But its not cut
up and, with his hands cuffed, not possible... He meets eyes
with Alice.
ALICE:
...Dan.
Dan sighs and rises from the table. Takes the plate from
Wade’s CUFFED HANDS... and cuts the steak.
WADE:
Thank you, Dan. Would you mind
cutting the fat off too, please...
(off Dan’s look)
...I don’t like fat.
There is a pause at the table as everyone just watches Dan
dicing the meat.
WADE (CONT'D)
...Mind if I ask how you got that
hitch in your step, Dan?
MCELROY:
Don’t tell him nothing, Evans.
WADE:
‘Where were you stationed?
