They encounter a drunken priest (Burn Gorman), who is attempting to get to the nearby town of Denton. The priest holds Paul at gunpoint in order to steal his horse, but Paul has Abbie attack him; the drifter then takes the priest′s bullets and water canteen, and goes on his way.
    Surveying the area, Paul decides to cut through Denton in order to get supplies and reduce their journey time.In the local tavern, Paul meets Deputy Gilly Martin (James Ransone), who challenges the drifter to a fight when Paul ignores his attempt to start conversation. In order to coax him out of the tavern, Gilly approaches Abbie, but Paul comes out and punches him before he can touch the dog. Gilly's fiancée Ellen (Karen Gillan) rushes to his aid as Paul makes his way into the town′s hotel.
     The young innkeeper, Ellen′s sister Mary-Anne (Taissa Farmiga), is overjoyed to hear about him injuring Gilly, and draws Paul and Abbie a bath as thanks. Movies Western.
