The story
Melquiades Estrada, a Mexican illegal immigrant working in Texas as a cowboy, shoots at a coyote which is menacing his small flock of goats.
Pete Perkins, a rancher and Melquiades' best friend, finds out from a waitress, Rachel, that the killer was Norton.
Belmont sees them heading towards the Mexico border, but as he takes aim at Perkins, he can't bring himself to shoot, and he returns to town, leaving the pursuit to the Border Patrol.
