Joe Johnson leads Amber out to the Indian burial ground. They hear the sound of a rider and Joe orders Amber to hide in a ditch. Amber hears Wiley’s voice when Joe asks the rider for his papers and Amber shouts to Wiley to run. Wiley spurs his horse away.
Joe tries to shoot Wiley as he rides off and Amber takes the opportunity to pull Joe from his saddle. They grapple on the ground and Joe bites Amber hard on the neck. Amber hammers Joe’s gun hand, then jumps up and runs into the forest.
Nearby, Denwood hears gunshots. He rides toward the sound, tethers his horse, and hides. Wiley rides by at full speed, but Denwood does not recognize him, so he lets him pass. Then Denwood sees Amber running towards him, with Joe in pursuit on horseback. Denwood knocks Amber down with a log and faces Joe, who tells him to get out of his way. Joe claims that Amber is his, while Amber protests that he belongs to Kathleen.
Denwood tells Joe to calm down, and Joe furiously tells him to mind his own business, pointing his gun.
