A middle aged man sits before a judge, accused of murder, the judge says that he is disappointed in the other, the judge tells him there's nothing else he can do, the judge declares that the other has three days to kill the hermit, or be hanged, the man accused of murder was a former sherif in the town of greysford. The judge asks the multitude of people to leave, the judge asks the man if he has anything to say, the other offers no response, the judge tells him that he recommends gathering a team to accompany him in the cave, reminding him how potentially dangerous the hermit is, he had been murdering anyone who enters. The man agrees, the judge nods and calls for the guards to take him outside, the guards guide him to the door; the man walks down a dirt road and considers everything that happened, he was told that the same officers that came to his house had also encountered the hermit, one of the officers died that day, the man is disturbed by the subtle coincidence and walks into a bar, ignoring the deathly stares of locals. He sits and considers his daughter, how she may have said something wrong to the officers the day before, he assured himself that it isn't true, suddenly someone starts scolding him, and blaming him, the chiding man tells him that his wife deserved so much better than to die in cold blood, the man mocking him tells him he could do better, mocking him, the other man cocks a revolver at the mans chest, (if I've already killed one.. What difference would it make to kill another?) The other man spits and backs away slowly, the man remains seated, he then sighs and leaves the bar, he is tailed by two bandits. He goes to a stable to reclaim his horse, leaving the town to view the cave. The man sits before a fire, he slowly loses hope of winning back his honor as he thinks to himself, he didn't murder his wife, but it was made to seem so. From behind a rock, a mysterious man appears out of nowhere as his hand wanders across the other mans horses neck, he stands up and aims his gun at the figure, the man explains, he is an old friend, the man shoots at him but the bullet is absorbed in his forearm and his own gun is shot away after, the mysterious man says he is here to help him, and begins explaining the hermits two powers to control minds, and change cognition. The mysterious man begins to walk toward him, he then tells the other that he needs to find his power, so he can fight against whatever evils are in that cave. The former sherif lowers his head in sadness, he ends the conversation by saying, (Either way, I can't make it out of this alive.) the mysterious man lays a gun in his hands, he tells him there is nothing more he can do. The mysterious man leaves and whispers to himself, (Watch, why'd you have to send me to one exactly like me?) the former sheriff stands, aware of another persons presence, he snaps into action after seeing a nearby rock explode, he throws down a smoke bomb to blind his opponents, he ties a rope to the side of a rock, when the smoke clears, the man is holding one of the bandits by a rope, pointing his new gun at the other, the battle was over. The next scene proceeds to have the three sitting by a fire, the man explains that he needs their help, they tell him that they had came because there was a bounty on his head, and because he was a murderer, the other looks at them in subtle sadness, the two men looking at him angrily, he kneels down, and unties them both, he confirms with them that he is not a murderer, but whether that is true to them they have to decide, he confirms his claim by telling them of his honor and respect for the people around him, (I'm not a murderer, but I'm after someone who is, I need both of you to help me..) He explains to both of them who the hermit is and they agree to help; the three observe the cave from a distance, consulting their options, and thus, the tale of life, death, and friendship begins.

He steps outside to immediately see a figure covered in leather clothing, holding a sixth shooter revolver.

They both stand and shake hands when suddenly a bullet flies into Watch's back. The man, shocked leans beside Watch as he falls to the ground, he signals the others to go after the sniper. The man panics as he tries to seal the wound in the others back, he manages to pull out the bullet, but he starts to despair, believing he will bleed out, the man sees someone a few meters behind him, it was the same man that had told him of his powers, the mysterious man nods at the other. The man suddenly feels courage and asks God for help as he plunges his hand into Watch's wound, suddenly he feels the wound healing as he lifts his hand out. The man is filled with hope as he hears his breathing go back to normal, the man sighs in relief, he looks where the mysterious man had been, he was gone, he helps Watch up as they converse about their assailant, he supports Watch as they begin walking to find the others.
