- It's dusk or dawn (it's hard to tell), and we're looking at the same small house that we saw in the beginning, only this time from a different angle.
- The scene shifts, and it's full light. A little girl runs over to a pigpen, where Will and his son are trying to move some hogs around.
- Will falls down, and shortly after a voice says: "You don't look like no rootin'-tootin' son of a bitchin' assassin."
- Will is puzzled. A young man—probably late teens—asks if he's William Munny.
- Will says he has him confused with somebody else. The boy asks again if he's William Munny, the one who "shot Charlie Pepper."
- Before Will can answer, his son tells him that two more hogs have the fever.
- The man reminds him of a few more crimes: another murder, a train robbery in Missouri.
- Will tells him to hold on, orders the hogs separated, and tells his daughter, Penny, to help.
- He tells the man they'll talk inside.
- The scene shifts inside. Will has discovered that this is Pete Sothow's nephew.
- At first, he thought it was somebody coming to kill him for something he did "in the old days."
- The young man expresses his disbelief: Will doesn't look like a killer. Will, trying to lead a new life, says: "Maybe I ain't [no killer]."
- His uncle told him Will was the meanest there was, the best killer out there.
- The young man says he's a "damn killer" too, only he hasn't killed as many people as Will.
- He's called the Schofield Kid, he says, because of his Schofield model Smith & Wesson pistol.
- The Schofield Kid gets to the point. He wants Will to be his partner. He's headed up to Wyoming to kill a couple of "no good Cowboys" who cut up a woman—"cut her eyes out, cut her ears off."
- Okay, we know that's an exaggeration, but we now know why the women were pooling their money: to hire a killer.
- The reward is $1,000.
- Will says he's not like that anymore. Half the reason he was like that to begin with was because of whiskey. His wife got him off that, and helped him mend his ways.
- The Schofield Kid points out that it doesn't like Will's doing so well financially—and with the money he could buy his wife a new dress, improve his condition, etc.
- Will then reveals that his wife's been dead for almost three years now.
- The scene shifts, and the Schofield Kid is on his horse, about to leave. Will is just outside the front door, his kids behind him.
- The Kid says to keep quiet about the bounty (he doesn't want any competition), and that he'll be heading due west, and then eventually north to Wyoming, if Will changes his mind.
- They say goodbye, and Will tells his kids to help him continuing separating the hogs.
- Soon, we see Will falling down again in the pigpen. His daughter says two more hogs have the fever.
- The total number of feverish hogs has to be close to seven by this point.
- Will is clearly not happy about the situation, and he looks longingly towards the departing Kid.
