Late in the afternoon BOB HAMPION watches Silent Murphy from the summit along a sunlit stream near willows. He deduces Murphy plans a night dash northward to escape raiders, keeping vigilance as darkness falls and he leads horses down a steep bluff toward the valley.
Murphy rests in willows by the Fourche river when a stranger appears claiming to be Terry's scout. A night chase follows across the northern shore with a frightened murmur of a green glowing face from a past killing 15 years old. The pair flee toward dawn, the specter fading as they push on toward safety.
In a brief narrative moment, Murphy turns his head and meets the other's gaze, a quiet exchange in the broad valley landscape where the scene is set for a turning point.
Murphy is startled as Hampton aims a pistol and declares him captive. The old frontier man realizes he has been pursued by the man he thought he knew, and the pursuit ends in a tense standoff. The scene of confrontation advances toward a pivotal confession.
