Ken Griffiths and Cheri Griffiths see Reilly hitchhiking and Cheri suggests they pick him up in their RV and Ken offers him his soggy croissant. They introduce each other and Ken pulls over at the Canyonlands Cafe. Lori takes their order and Ken and Reilly order a beer, while Cheri just has water. Charley walks in and takes a seat after greeting Lori. He starts to shake and grabs Lori's hand and stabs it with a knife. Ken goes up to Charley and Charley starts to choke him. Cheri grabs a pitcher and smashes it on Charley's head and Reilly punches Charley in the face to no effect. Both Ken and Reilly start fighting Charley and Julia arrives. Charley then starts to attack Julia and takes her gun from her. As Charley is about to shoot Julia, Reilly shoots him in the leg. Julia tells Reilly he will have to wait to speak with Sheriff Hanks and takes his gun from him. Sheriff Hanks arrives and Julia updates him on what is going on. After Sheriff Hanks gets Reilly's backstory, Charley breaks free and steals Sheriff Hank's vehicle. Later, Sheriff Hanks tells Ken, Cheri and Reilly about finding Cowboy's truck shot up. Ken asks if there are any rental car places and Sheriff Hanks refers him to Floyd. After some time, Sheriff Hanks and Reilly go to check on Ken, while Julia stays behind with Cheri. They separate when they arrive and Floyd attacks Ken and Reilly, until Reilly shoots him with Ken's shotgun. They find Sheriff Hanks and he tells them to go back to the Sheriff's Department while he tries to get help. When they arrive at the Sheriff's Department they find Cheri about to shoot Julia, and they grab her and put her in a prison cell. Dr. Miller arrives and Sheriff Hanks, Julia and Reilly guess everything happening must be due to contaminated water. Sheriff Hanks asks Dr. Miller to check on his patients and see how many of them drank water that morning. Dr. Miller mentions even drinking coffee might lead to infection and Sheriff Hanks lies and says he didn't drink any. Chaos starts to engulf Canyonland as people start attacking each other. They arm themselves and he, Ken and Reilly search the town. Reilly gives a note to Billy to send out if he manages to reach anyone. He barricades himmself in the Sheriff's Department with Julia, Sheriff Hanks and Ken. Cheri starts to scream and as Ken is about to shoot her, Reilly takes his gun away. Two of Albino's Henchman start to burn the town down with flamethrowers. Sheriff Hanks recommends they pin The Albino and Albino's Henchman down at the old drive-in. He and the others ambush Albino's Henchman, but Sheriff Hanks is set on fire and dies. Reilly picks up Sheriff Hanks revolver and offers it to Julia, but she tells him to keep it and removes her deputy badge and pins it on Reilly's chest. The next morning they get on horses and ride into the canyons looking for The Albino after Reilly determines it must be a foreign government agency that sent The Albino. They find The Albino's van, but it is empty and full of explosives, and eventually blows up. Reilly and the others are ambushed by a pair of Albino's Henchman and Ken is shot in the chest. Reilly eventually kills the pair. Reilly tells Julia to stay behind with Ken while he goes after The Albino and she gives him a kiss and wishes him luck. He finds the dead bodies of Albino's Henchman and eventually catches up to The Albino. They have a shootout and Reilly acts like he has been shot and The Albino comes out into the open. As Reilly reloads to shoot him, a helicopter pulls up behind The Albino and a U.S. Army helicopter pulls up behind Reilly. The helicopters chase each other and Reilly shoots The Albino in the knee. Reilly walks up to The Albino and shoves a vial of the green liquid into The Albino's mouth. Later, Julia sees Reilly hitchhiking and she invites him to stay, but he tells her he has to leave. Ken and Cheri pull up in their RV and invite him to ride with them and he hops in after saying goodbye to Julia.
