He offers the man a place to say, and when they ride into camp, most assume he’s a hired gun. They get the beat down and Hull makes a new friend. Cue shivers.īack at the supply store, the boys with hickory sticks get a chance to say hi to the new stranger in town, the man on the pale horse. Apparently good God almighty was having a slow day and decided, why not? Roll a bit of thunder and behold, a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death (actually ‘Preacher’ as we’ll find out). While Hull was off riding toward town, the girl, Megan ( Sydney Penny), buried her dog, and as she was saying her goodbyes, she gave a little prayer, asking for some spiritual intervention in dealing with LaHood and his cronies. Warner Bros.īut, there’s a little surprise coming there way. Things is, the supply store is right across the way from LaHood and his men decide to further the lesson they began back at the camp.

Turns out them boys are working for a shady type guy named, are you ready for this?. Worse, they just up and take off without a word. wait? Did they just shoot that adorable little doggie? Whoa. Guess they’ve got a grudge ’cause they just ride on in shootin’ their pistols in the air, knocking tables and tents over, pulling wagons on their sides and.
