Plot: 1865. Paladin (Walton Goggins) is sitting at his usual table downstairs at the Hotel Charlemagne when the bellhop Chan (Benedict Wong) brings him his usual cop of coffee as well as the daily newspaper. Paladin thanks Chan for his always fine service and gets to reading the paper. Helena Pervis (Adrianne Palicki) comes downstairs as well for some breakfast. Helena is then surprised to find her husband Frank Pervis (Luke Kirby) already sitting down there. She is happy to see him as he has been away for over a week. He kisses her and tells her that he didn't go up to their room as he did not want to wake her. Frank tells Helena to go ahead and head back upstairs and he'll be there momentarily. They have some catching up to do in the bedroom after all.
The proprietor of the Hotel Charlemagne, Charlemagne himself (Ben Cross), enters the dining room and welcomes Frank back to the hotel. He reminds him of the rules: no conducting business in the hotel and to keep the law away. Paladin eavesdrops on their conversation from across the room. Frank asks Charlemagne if he has any information on the whereabouts of Manfred Holt. Charlemagne tells Frank he hasn't seen Holt since he banned him from the hotel after the police started showing up to the place looking for him. Charlemagne tells Frank that last time he heard, Holt had escaped custody before they could hang him and went into hiding in the Blackfoot Mountains. Frank tells Charlemagne that a sizable bounty has been placed on Holt's head and it would make for quite the payday. Frank thanks Charlemagne for his assistance and heads upstairs towards his room. Charlemagne then turns toward Paladin and asks if he heard all of that. Paladin confirms that he happened to overhear the broad strokes of the conversation unintentionally. Charlemagne scoffs and asks Paladin what he's waiting for.
Upstairs in their room, Helena and Frank have sex. Afterwards they lay in bed while Frank rolls himself a cigarette. Helena asks if they are ever going to buy their own house. Frank tells her that it is safer for Helena at the Hotel Charlemagne when he is away for business. Helena proposes that they buy a house nearby, and when Frank goes out of town for work she can come to the hotel. Frank insists that their current situation is the most ideal given the current circumstances. Helena rolls her eyes and gets out of the bed. Frank playfully pulls her back onto the bed and says that he's ready to go again.
In the foothills of the Blackfoot Mountains, Paladin is riding his horse when he hears gunfire. He rides toward the sounds and comes across the local Sheriff Jake Ludlow (Jake McDornan) and his deputies. Ludlow yells for his deputies to chase after Holt into the forest. Ludlow turns and demands to know what Paladin is doing there. Paladin explains that he's here to do what Ludlow and his men have failed to do thus far, stop Manfred Holt, and collect the sizable bounty while he's at it. Ludlow tells Paladin to go ahead and try. Ludlow also recommends simply killing Holt as it will surely be safer than trying to take him alive. Paladin begs to differ - beside, the bounty is almost double the value if Holt is brought in alive. Ludlow calls for his men to come back. He tells them that Paladin is going to go into the forest after Holt instead - this way no more deputies are taken out by the lone outlaw, Holt.
Paladin ties up his horse and begins walking into the forest. He observes a freshly broken branch on the ground and knows he's heading the right way. He finally comes across a saddled up horse near a tree. Paladin sits down on a nearby log and waits. Manfred Holt (Wilson Bethel) suddenly drops out of a tree and approaches his horse, only to find Paladin is waiting nearby, gun drawn. Holt is furious that he has been found and tells Paladin to go ahead and shoot him already since he'd rather take a bullet than be hung up in front of a crowd. Paladin however refuses to oblige Holt's wishes, saying that he doubts Holt granted any wishes to the nine people he killed. Paladin takes Holt's gun off of him and orders him onto his horse. As they ride off, Holt warns Paladin that he plans on killing him the first chance he gets. Paladin says he doesn't plan on giving Holt any chances to do so.
Paul Pilate (David Caruso) arrives at the Hotel Charlemagne, and asks Charlemagne if Paladin is around. Charlemagne reminds Pilate that he doesn't know where Paladin is, but even if he did he would never tell Pilate of all people. Pilate tells Charlemagne he means no ill will, but Charlemagne doesn't believe him and orders him to leave the property. Pilate laughs and asks how Charlemagne would go about making him leave. Chan emerges behind Pilate with a large rifle that he sticks into Pilate's back. Charlemagne says that's how. Chan escorts Pilate out of the building and warns Pilate that if he comes back around again that he'll be forced to pull the trigger.
As they ride along an embankment, Paladin's horse is spooked and knocks him off. Holt quickly breaks free from his rope ties and grabs the rifle from Paladin's horse and points it at the fallen Paladin - but it's too late. Paladin already had his pistol ready and fires, hitting Holt in the stomach. Paladin rides with Holt's body to the sheriff's office and goes about collecting the bounty for Holt. Sheriff Ludlow asks what happened to bringing Holt in alive. Paladin says that Holt made it clear that he was never going to come in alive. Paladin collects the bounty and starts riding south, back toward San Francisco.
