DAVID LEE
There's two men in front of our house, Daddy.

They all stop -  and can see the shadow figures of TWO MEN, standing in their yard, and a Pick-up Truck parked off the road toward the other side of the cabin. 

DAVID LEE
Who is they?

REBECCA 
Children, come here ...

The children, move back - Nathan Lee looks behind himself and across the fields as if he would like to make a dash for it - but Rebecca's eyes follow every physical, and mental motion he makes. 

Nathan Lee
We better see who they is...

They begin to move slowly toward the house with deliberate caution, with the two men becoming more visibly identifiable with their shotguns dropped to their sides. They move into the yard and stop about twelve feet from the two men.

47. EXT. THE FRONT YARD - DAY 47.

SHERIFF YOUNG steps out of the front door of their house. The two groups do not speak for a moment - they merely stare at each other - the Morgan family with inquiring and fretful eyes.

SHERIFF YOUNG (CONT'D)
We been in your house, Nathan --

Nathan and Rebecca look to each other with knowing glances. 

SHERIFF YOUNG (CONT'D)
We found what we was lookin' for. 

He moves away from the door and stops at the edge of the porch -- 

SHERIFF YOUNG
