Part 3/9:
The story leaps forward two months to Kansas, where Josiah—now known as Edge—arrives in the town of Seward. Witnessing an execution on the gallows, he experiences a flashback of his own convictions. Refusing to surrender his rifle to a hostile Deputy Trickett, Edge proves his mettle by saving a condemned man at the last minute. Impressed by Edge's sharpshooting, Sheriff Big Bill offers him a position as Deputy, a guise that conceals Edge's true intentions: hunting down those who wronged his family.
