Plot: 1865. Paladin (Walton Goggins) sits in his usual seat in the dining room as Chan (Benedict Wong) brings him his usual cup of coffee and newspaper. Paladin thanks Chan for his fine work as he does every morning, and Chan bows in his direction. Meanwhile in a bar down the street, Frank Pervis (Luke Kirby) meets with Paul Pilate (David Caruso) to report his observations of Paladin. Pilate has become impatient with everything and offers Pervis an exorbitant amount of money to kill Paladin. Pervis asks why he just doesn't do it himself, but Pilate says it's complicated.
Paladin is still in the dining room when Helena Pervis (Adrianne Palicki) comes down the stairs and asks Paladin if she can join him. Paladin tells her that he'd never turn down the company of a beautiful woman. Helena waits a moment, then sits down. Paladin calls Chan over and asks Helena if she wants anything. Helena asks Chan for some tea. Suddenly a gunshot rings out, and Paladin falls from his chair. A pool of blood emerges from beneath Paladin.
1849. A younger Paladin is in a Texas gambling hall on his way home to Louisiana after fighting in the Mexican-American War. He is down $15,000 to man named Norte (Neal McDonough), who calls in his markers. When Paladin says he cannot pay, Norte tells him he can clear his debt by killing a man named Paul Pilate, a gunfghter who is working in the Delta Valley. Paladin refuses, saying he killed enough people during the war to last him a lifetime, but Norte says the alternative is jail. After a moment, Paladin accepts Norte's deal.
When Paladin rides into the Delta Valley, he stops for water at a creek and is knocked out from behind by Paul Pilate. Paladin wakes up and finds himself in an enclosure on the edge of a cliff. When Paladin checks his gun, he discovers it is unloaded. Pailte steps out on the cliff above and Paladin challenges him to a duel. Amused, Pilate asks Paladin how he's supposed to have a duel without any bullets. Pilate tells Paladin to draw his gun, but Paladin is confused since it's unloaded. Pilate says that's the only reason he's still alive. Paladin draws and fumbles his revolver out of its holster. Paladin yells at Pilate to toss him a bullet, but Pilate tells him he isn't ready for any duels yet.
Paladin follows Pilate's advice and practices his draw. The next day, Pilate returns and watches Paladin draw and concedes that Paladin is a quick study. Paladin once again demands that they duel, and Pilate tosses Paladin a bullet. Pilate tells him that if he can make his way up to the top of the cliff he will honor his duel.
Paladin digs out steps in the cliffside with his knife so that he may climb up to the top of the cliffside. Once he finally makes it to the top, Pilate extends his hand and shakes Paladin's hand. He asks Paladin who hired him to come to the Delta Valley, since he can sniff out a hired gun a mile away. Paladin says that Norte hired him to kill Pilate. Laughing, Pilate says he may just get his chance. Pilate draws a line in the dirt between them and tells Paladin that they should each take 20 steps away from the line. The two gunfighters begin taking their paces.
