"The law don't care if you're right. Only if you're standing. Get up. We got more murderers to bury by midnight." SHERIFF VEGA (looking at Elias’s body): "What if I buried an innocent man, Moss?" SHERIFF MOSS (pause, then quietly): "Then you live with it. That's the other duel. The one that never ends." (They walk into the dying light. Behind them, the crows descend.)
(falling, laughing): "You... saved the flock... by becoming a wolf..." SHERIFF MOSS (standing over him, breathing hard): "No. I saved them by becoming the devil they understood." (Moss spits on the ground. He has won, but his hand shakes.)

"There is no court here. No judge. No jury. Only the sun bleeding out over the horizon. In the territory of Black Hollow, a murderer can walk free—if he can outdraw the man who swore to bring him in. But the bullet is not the only weapon. The past is the second gun. And it is always loaded." SHERIFF HARDING (stepping forward, voice like gravel): "You know the law of the duel. Three paces. One turn. No cover. No mercy. You kill me, you walk. I kill you... the crows eat well tonight." MURDERER LOCKE (smirking, eyes hollow): "And if we both draw and both fall?" SHERIFF HARDING: "Then Hell gets a two-for-one sale. Any last words before the bell?" MURDERER VEGA (young, trembling): "I didn't mean to kill him. It was an accident—" SHERIFF MOSS (spits tobacco): "Accidents don't stab a man seventeen times. Shut your mouth and grab your iron." (The clock tower chimes 6:00 PM. A single bell tolls.) SCENE II: THE FIRST DUEL – THE PREACHER’S GHOST PARTICIPANTS: Sheriff Moss (veteran, scarred) vs. Murderer Cain (former preacher who killed his congregation) We got more murderers to bury by midnight
"Forgive... you..." (Sheriff Vega drops her gun. She falls to her knees. She did not just kill a murderer. She may have killed an innocent man. The crowd is silent.) SCENE IV: THE THIRD DUEL – THE UNFINISHED BUSINESS PARTICIPANTS: Sheriff Harding vs. Murderer Locke (the man who killed Harding’s wife)
