Paladin (Walton Goggins) sits in the dining room of the Hotel Charlemagne when Chan (Benedict Wong) brings him his morning coffee and newspaper. Paladin comments that he is pleased that things are finally back to normal. Chan agrees. Helena Pervis (Adrianne Palicki) enters the dining room and sits across the room from Paladin. He nods in her direction and she waves. Helena is then joined by her husband Frank Pervis (Luke Kirby). Helena points out Paladin to him and says there he is if Frank still wants to talk business with him. Frank says that breakfast is no time to conduct business and he will try to reach out to him later. Paladin gets up from his seat and walks over to Helena and Frank. He introduces himself to Frank and says he heard he was looking to conduct some business with him. Frank looks over to Helena, but Paladin tells Frank that Helena hasn't told him anything, he simply heard him say it from across the room. Paladin agrees with Frank that breakfast is no time to conduct business, but that he is free for lunch, so if Frank would like to speak to him then he'll be at his usual table. Paladin then leaves the dining room.
Paladin sits down in the office with the hotel's owner, Charlemagne (Ben Cross). Paladin asks him what he knows about Frank Pervis. Charlemagne says he doesn't know much other than that he is something of a gunslinger and he has a lovely wife he doesn't spend enough time with. Charlemagne asks Paladin why he asks, and Paladin tells him that he suspects Frank Pervis means him harm, but he doesn't know if it's personal or business. Charlemagne suggests it's most likely business since Frank sounds like he's from out east, but that he doubt Frank Pervis has the balls to try to pull something on the hotel property. There is however one man he wouldn't put it passed, that being Paul Pilate. Paladin asks if Pilate has been around the hotel, and Charlemagne nods. Paladin says that if Pilate wants him dead so much he ought to do it himself rather than hire some green gunslinger. Charlemagne agrees and tells Paladin that he'll have Chan keep a close watch on Frank Pervis. Paladin thanks Charlemagne for his hospitality and leaves the office.
Chan follows Frank Pervis down the streets of San Francisco and watches as he enters a bar. Not wanting to blow his cover, Chan watches the front of the bar from across the street. Inside the bar, Frank sits down next to Paul Pilate (David Caruso). Frank tells Pilate that Paladin is back in town, but that he seems to know what's going on. Pilate scoffs at that idea, and tells Frank that he knows Paladin very well, and he doubts Paladin knows any more than Frank has told him. Frank says he didn't tell Paladin anything, but that Paladin told Frank that he is free for lunch to talk business. Pilate tells him to go, but not to say anything. He'll have another gunslinger ready to shoot Paladin from the window while Frank meets with him.
Paladin sits at his usual table in the dining room of the Charlemagne drinking some more coffee when Frank Pervis enters the dining room. Paladin motions to a chair across from his and Frank takes a seat. Paladin asks Frank how long he's been working for Paul Pilate. Frank is taken aback by the question, but Paladin tells him to answer. Frank says not that long. Paladin asks Frank what exactly he's been hired to do, because it doesn't seem like he's been hired to kill him, nor would such a plan be prudent on the ground of the Hotel Charlemagne. Frank insists that Pilate just recently hired him to keep an eye on Paladin and tell Pilate what he's been up to.
Helena decides to head downstairs from her room at the hotel to see how the meeting between her husband and Paladin is going. When she walks through the lobby, she is surprised that Chan isn't in his usual post, but she continues walking. Once she enters the dining room, a gun shot rings out nearby. Frank ducks down to the ground. When he notices that Helena has entered the room, he yells at her to get down.
Paladin calmly gets up and walks outside where he sees Chan with a gun, having just shot a shady looking character with a rifle. Paladin thanks Chan for saving his life. Chan tells him it's part of his job and drags the dead boy of the sniper off to the police.
Paladin walks back into the Charlemagne where Frank and Helena are still in the dining room. Paladin pulls out his gun and tells Frank to start talking. Frank says Pilate said he was going to hire someone to shoot Paladin. Paladin tells Frank that if he tries to get him killed again, the outcome will not be pleasant for anyone involved.
