Vic, Branch and Walt go to an illegal rodeo out of uniform walking in like the Mod Squad. Vic flirts for information and then awkwardly doesn't know what to do after the information runs out. Branch tries to be slick but his political ambition (i.e. plastering the town with campaign signs of his face) blows his cover. Well done, jerk face. |

Everything gets flipped on its head when the dirt bag victim turns out to be a real saint and the "aw shucks, Sheriff" good guy turns out to be the murderer. Walt uses the same wild horse to get a confession. City girl Vic is trying to manage the rearing horse while Walt takes his sweet time getting his confession.
Henry and Walt have to get their stories straight about the trip to kill Walt's wife's murderer because the Denver detective is snooping around again. We get more of the story in flashbacks including a very old Native woman who sewed up Walt's wounds. Henry goes to visit her to make sure she won't tell the detective about that night. He asks if she remembers that night and with a very slight twink in her eye, quietly shakes her head, then asks if Henry's friend is well. He says he may have put her and his friend in a bad position. She says, "You did right," and then asks, "What did the first Warrior say to the Great Spirit?" Henry smiles and we get a voice over of him telling the tale. While we hear Henry's tale, we see Walt releasing the wild horse and telling it to go home.
The first warrior looked out on the land that was his home. He saw the hills, and the stars, and he was happy. For giving him his home, the first warrior told the Great Spirit he would fight and win many battles in his honor. But the great spirit said "No. Do not fight for me. Fight for your tribe. Fight for the family born to you. Fight for the brothers you find. Fight for them," the Great Spirit said, "for they are your home."
The horse runs a little ways off and then looks back at Walt.
They have a moment. The horse comes back to thank Walt as Henry's story ends.
We all choke back tears.
