As the train is pulling into the station, Donnelly notices armed cops everywhere. It's obvious now that the kid is responsible for that murder to which the doctor alluded in the beginning. A shootout between the kid and the cops ensues, which leaves the kid mortally wounded. His last words are regrets that he didn't even hit one policeman. The kid dies as Donnelly gently cradles him like a son he never had. He then takes one of the kid's six shooters and hides it in his coat.
