TITLE CARD:
"NIHASA"
HARD IN.
EXT. WASHOE CITY, NEVADA (1869) - DAY
Frantic. Chase. BLAM!
Glimpses:
Pursuer. Pursued. PTCHOW! A spurred heel - a drawn
smokewagon
- etc. No faces, never any faces. PTCHOW!
Bounty hunter BILL JENKINS (30s, ruggedly rugged) is following on the heels of the outlaw NIHASA (whose bandana’ed features = a fuck-all mystery).
TITLE CARD APPEARS:
"MINING CAMP - WASHOE CITY, NEVADA - 1869"
EXT. SPANISH MISSION
Small, typical. Signage reads: “MISSION DE SAN SANDALFÓN”.
Still blasting (PTCHOW!),
Nihasa
BURSTS into the frame. BLAM! Bill Jenkins is hit, winged...
BILL JENKINS
Oww
! ‘
Sumbitch
!
Bill ducks for cover behind a tree, returns fire.
Nihasa
backs into the mission’s front door. Calculatedly.
Seeing this, Bill rushes around to the back of the building. No exit. He returns to his position, his tree. Emotional.
BILL JENKINS
NIHASA! That holy bread and blood
wine
in there ain’t gonna save your
soul or ass!
(long beat)
YOU HEAR ME, NIHASA?! This is it... the latter end for you! TODAY IS THE DAY YOUR LEGEND DIES!
A beat. Time is stretched, prolonged. Suddenly:
The MISSION DOOR opens. Bill’s gun (mind) is cocked, ready.
