In the beginning they had the intentions of searching across the useless spurs in hopes of gunning down a human rival. All along the only foe that they truly had was within the nature that was surrounding them.

The russian men begin to push against the tree, rolling it off them and help them up. After they help the two, the russian men kick them back onto the ground, holding them at gunpoint.
