Wil Oxley : Why did my father kill himself?
Marshal Frank Patch : I don't know, son.
Wil Oxley : Tell me! Tell me!
Marshal Frank Patch : A long time ago, a man was killed... shot in the back.
Wil Oxley : My father did it?
Marshal Frank Patch : Nobody knew for sure who did it.
Wil Oxley : You knew. Why didn't he hang?
Marshal Frank Patch : There was nothing to be gained by hanging. The dead man had a child - a son. Your father agreed to raise him as his own.
