INT. TRUCK - DAY

Hunter driving two-lane road. Wanda in the middle, Ruth on the passenger side. 

Describe terrain.

A lull before:

RUTH: So Hunter, I thought I might tell you a little about Maria and the boys before you meet them.

HUNTER: I had assumed Gil's daughter and grandsons.

RUTH: Correct. Technically daughter-in-law. Maria was married to Gil and Soly's son Ramon, the father of Javier and Esteban. Ramon was a Marine killed in Afghanistan a day after Esteban's first birthday. Javier was three.

HUNTER: How old are they now?

RUTH: Sixteen and fourteen. They and Maria live in Seguin, east of San Antonio. 

HUNTER: Was Gil in the military?

RUTH: He was a Marine in Vietnam. And his father before him in the Pacific in World War Two.

HUNTER: Bill?

RUTH: Seventh Army. Scar on his left shoulder from a bullet that grazed him at Operation Undertone, if you've ever heard of it.

HUNTER: I have. My grandfather was Fifth at Salerno, if you've ever heard of it.

RUTH: I have. Gil's gate is just around the bend.

EXT. RANCH GATE 

Describe. Higher POV shows tops of surrounding hills. Hardpack dirt road beyond the gate.

We HEAR THE TRUCK'S ENGINE before it rounds bend into view. Hunter drives to the gate, Ruth gets out, punches keypad, back into truck as gate opens. Hunter drives through, gate closes as the truck turns out of view behind trees.
