Today is a great day, Colm O'Driscoll will be hanged. Sarah is at the saloon with Dutch and Sadie. They are eager to see this bastard get hanged after all he has done to them.

Dutch can not help explaining the plan to them again, with annoyance, Sarah answers him:

- It's okay, Dutch. No need to worry ...

Arthur entered at the same moment, when Sarah sees him, she smiles at him.

- There you are. Said Dutch.

- Here I am. Respond Arthur.

- Come on, let's go. Said Sarah.

- Let's go where? And why're you so riled up? Asked Arthur.

- Today it's a great day, Arthur.

- Today is the they are going to hang Colm O'Driscoll. Said Sadie.

- That so ?

- Either they hang him, or I shoot him.... Said Sarah.

- Oh they are going to hang him. Said Dutch with a smile.

- Yeah.... and not before time. Said Sadie.

Dutch seizes two boxes and gives them to Sadie and Sarah, they enter a room to change their clothes. Sadie has a yellow dress with a wide hat with a white feather. Sarah in a dark red dress with a small hat adorned with red and yellow flowers.Arthur and Dutch dressed like policemen.

As they move towards the hanging, Sarah's emotions are confused. When Colm dies, she will feel free. For the first time in six years, she will finally be free. She remembers all that Colm did to her: humiliation, beatings, threats, killings, murder of those she loved... All of this will finally end today.

*A rebirth..... * she thought.

They arrive at the place of hanging, Sarah's heart beats fast but Colm is still not there.

- Well.... we're gonna wait. Said Dutch.

Sarah leans against the wall and crosses her arms. She sighs in frustration, she can not wait to see Colm dead.

- Alright, good. Now... you see that... pait of assholes? Said Dutch, referring to two men.

- Sure. Said Arthur.

- They're Colm's boys.

- Yes, I think so.

- What a surprise.... I'm glad we're here.

- Wait... Said Sarah noticing something.

- What? Dutch asked.

- What are they pointing at? Said Sarah, looking the rooftop of a bulding right in front of them.

- I don't know... We gotta follow the to find out. Said Arthur.

- Yeah... Oh... here comes somebody. Said Dutch.

When the man passes next to them, they pretend to do nothing.

- Me and Mrs. Adler stay here. You and Sarah, go check what's going on. Said Dutch.

- Okay... Said Arthur.

Sarah and Arthur walk down an alley, they follow the man and go to another street.

- This asshole must die, Arthur. No matter the price. Said Sarah, fists tight.

- I know. Do not worry, we'll make sure he never come back.

- I hope so, Arthur..... I hope so....

They follow the man to a garden, he chats with someone else, Sarah and Arthur take cover and listen to the conversation:
