William H. Bonney runs from three armed men including Morton and Baker and manages to get away. Later, Baker and Morton participate in the murder of John Tunstall. As Morton and Baker are tracking the Regulators, they are ambushed by them. Baker tells them that when they killed Henry Hill they started a war, but Dick Brewer responds that they started the war when they killed John. Morton points out that the Regulators are heavily outnumbered, but Dick says that they are still taking them to jail. William talks about killing them, but J. McCloskey argues against it and suggests a new rout straight to Lincoln County. William accuses McCloskey of being a spy and shoots him in the head. Morton and Baker try and escape and Chavez Y Chavez kills Baker with a knife to the back and Doc Scurlock and "Dirty Steve" Stephens shoot and kill Morton.
