Now Pardee wants to buy up Nora's land no matter what. Attempting to keep the peace is Marshall Gib Scott who is wary of Clay's reputation. He does not believe that Clay has swapped the bullet for legal textbooks.

The Marshall also wants out of Latigo, he does not want to be Pardee's lackey. With Clay Culhane, he might see a way to take Pardee and his cronies out of the picture.
