Detering, a farmer, pleads for them to be put out of their misery, especially once they hear the horses' screams,"Shoot them! For God's sake! Shoot them!" They find the horses in the darkness, but Kat does not let Detering shoot one of the wounded horses: it would give their position away. Kat hits Detering's gun before he can fire.
