That man The Kid brought in was her father.

NOAH

LOU

He's dead.

KID

She accused me of murdering him.

HICKOK

Thought you took him alive?

KID

I did. I'm gonna find out what she meant.

He moves to follow Emily, but Lou holds him back.

LOU

Better let us. Doesn't look like she's gonna say much to you.
