Unforgiven Scene 26 Summary

  • It's raining. Will enters Big Whiskey.
  • He approaches Greely's. Ned's body is displayed in a coffin outside, with a sign on it that says, "This is what happens to assassins around here."
  • Little Bill is inside, talking about a posse that is being formed and the number of free drinks each member will get courtesy of the county.
  • The camera enters Greely's. Then, a shotgun appears.
  • Ah, so we're seeing things from Will's point of view.
  • Bill keeps talking. He hasn't noticed Will yet.
  • Suddenly, Beauchamp notices him, as does Alice.
  • Bill stops talking, looks at Will, and the whole room gets quiet.
  • "Who's the fella that owns this shithole?" Will asks.
  • Nobody says anything for a second, and then Skinny says he's the owner.
  • Will raises his shotgun, and tells somebody he better get out of the way.
  • Bill starts to panic, and tells Will to hold on.
  • Will raises his gun, and shoots Skinny. People scream, and the women scatter.
  • Bill calls Will a coward for shooting an unarmed man.
  • Will says that Skinny should have armed himself before displaying his friend's body.
  • Bill approaches, and announces that Will has one shot left in his shotgun.
  • After that, he wants everybody to pull out their pistols and shoot Will.
  • Will pauses, and fires.
  • The gun clicks, but no shot is fired. It's a misfire.
  • Bill orders everybody to start shooting.
  • Will thinks for a moment, throws the gun at Bill, ducks down, pulls out his pistol, and shoots Bill.
  • A shootout then ensues. Shots ring out from every direction.
  • Will doesn't get hit, but a number of other guys go down.
  • One guy tries to leave, but Will shoots him in the back.
  • The firing stops.
  • Will gets up and walks over to where a bunch of men have taken cover and says that anybody who doesn't want to get killed needs to scram now.
  • They oblige.
  • Will walks over to the bar and pours himself a drink.
  • Beauchamp, sitting a corner, says he's been shot. Will tells him he's not shot and points his gun at him.
  • Beauchamp gets nervous, and says multiple times that he isn't armed and that he's never owned a gun.
  • Will tells him to grab the rifle nearby and the shells that go with it.
  • Beauchamp does, and the two men approach each other.
  • Beauchamp says he's a writer, and notes that Will has just killed five men singlehandedly, including Little Bill.
  • Will has been loading the rifle the whole time. It's Ned's Spencer.
  • Beauchamp asks Will who he shot first, and notes that a skilled gun fighter always shoots the best shot first.
  • It's a quote from Little Bill.
  • Will says he got lucky in terms of the order in which he killed the men, but then again, "I'm always lucky when it comes to killing folks," he adds.
  • Beauchamp starts to speculate on the order. Will stops him, saying, "All I can tell you is who's going to be the last."
  • Beauchamp runs out.
  • Bill, who has been agonizingly dying, makes a stir. He raises a gun.
  • Will darts over to him, and pushes his arm out of the way just as the gun fires. He aims the rifle at Bill.
  • Bill says he doesn't deserve to die like that. Will stares at him, an evil glare in his eye.
  • He responds: "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
  • The men stare at each other again. Bill says, "I'll see you in hell, William Munny."
  • Will stares at him some more, says "Yeah," takes aim, and fires.
  • He turns to leave. One of the deputies in groaning in pain from his gunshot wound.
  • Munny fires another round into his gut and heads for the door.
  • He crouches down, opens the door, and cocks his rifle.
  • He shouts out, saying he's going to kill anybody out there. If anybody shoots at him, he will kill their wife, family, friends, and burn their house down.
  • Will cautiously exits the saloon. He sees Ned's body again, stops, and then keeps walking.
  • The camera shifts, and two men are taking aim.
  • One man is about to fire, but says he can't. The other says he can't either because he's not a deputy.
  • Beauchamp soon joins them to watch Will's departure.
  • Will's gotten on his horse by this point. He rides a little ways, then says to nobody in particular that they better bury Ned right.
  • He warns them that if they cut up any more women, he will return and kill them all.
  • Delilah, Alice, and the others have come out on the porch to watch Will's departure.
  • Will trots out of town, everybody terrified at what they have just seen, ominous and threatening music playing in the background.
