Summary
Vash and Wolfwood witness a public hanging in process. The man who was to be hanged stood atop a man called Hancock, who although innocent was going to be shot dead so that the man at the gallows could plunge. Firing at the rope to which the man hung on, Vash saves the man from his execution. The people who were going to hang the man, recognize Vash and his repute, allow the men they were going to execute to be set free.

Afterward, Vash, Wolfwood, and the two men who were to be executed enjoy themselves at a saloon. Just as the radio cuts off in the saloon, Vash languidly goes outside and is followed by Wolfwood. Vash claims that Wolfwood is his "Guide" and Wolfwood confirms it.

Meanwhile, at New Santiago and November, multiple communication satellites are struck down by Knives. Elendira comments on how Knives' Angel Arm has become powerful enough to pierce through the planet's atmosphere. Back to Vash and Wolfwood, they say goodbye to Hancock and the other man who are back in the saloon.
