A few days later, Harlan comes back to Wade's and asks Lonnie, Tobe's younger brother, if he wants to come spend the day with him. Harlan borrows, without any right, a horse again and teaches Lonnie to shoot with his colts. The next day, he asks Tobe to leave her family and follow him. The young girl says no and Harlan who didn't expect such an answer shoots her. Wade brings her daughter to the hospital and, in the company of the police, looks for Harlan who, meanwhile, has told Lonnie that it was Wade who shot Tobe. Chased by the police, Harlan and Lonnie head, with their horse, to the Californian countryside. Written and directed by David Jacobson in 2004.
