- We see Ned and Will traveling horseback, the setting sun in the background. They talk about the Kid, who they notice is making good time.
- Then, they're sitting around a small campfire, talking. After some small talk, Will suggests that Sally (Ned's girl) doesn't like him (Ned) going off with Will.
- Ned tries to brush it off. Sally's "injun" (a Native American), and they're not "over friendly."
- He's not fooling Will, who says Sally knew Will in the old days.
- Sally just doesn't think Will has changed. Will insists, however, that he has: "I ain't like that no more."
- Just because he's going on "this killing," that doesn't mean he's going to go back to being the old, evil, real mean Will.
- Will then recalls a story about a drover he shot whose death was particularly gruesome.
- Will thinks about him sometimes. He thinks about that guy from to time. He knows that guy didn't deserve to get shot.
- Will was drunk when he did it, and when he sobered up he couldn't think of any reason why that guy deserved to die.
- After some more small talk about how Will is changed, Ned starts to doze off, while Will continues looking at the fire.
