He tells his tale of being a former slave at the time of the civil war. He was temporarily freed and worked with Stan, but when his commanding general ordered the slaves returned, Stan shot him. They agreed to meet later in Arizona if Stan needed help. Roger arrives with his wanted poster and they quickly cover Stan up and Francine leads Roger away. They encounter Hayley who is still inconsolable over her family, but quickly step away as hillbilly Jeff offers to help her forget her problems if she has money. Brian awakens Stan and tells him of the bounty hunter, but when he starts to leave, assures him that he is unrecognizable in his present state. Jeff takes Hayley to an opium den where she opens up that the only thing of value on the farm was the well, and the only use for the well would be a train that isn't arriving for six months. However, Bullock is in the den and overhears her and offers to watch over her as the sole heir to the farm.
