When Marlene secretly invites her sister down to come and stay for the week, Boycie is angry and he reminds his wife that they are on the run from the Driscoll brothers who do want to shoot Boycie in the head.

But Marlene's sister is not the only one to be visiting the Boyces, as the Driscoll brothers have followed her and are prepared to let Boycie live if he lets them hide something on his open fields.
