In the sables, holding a bottle of whiskey, Bo thinks back to a time when he had to arrest Asa then picks up Asa’s hat from the hook… Not taking his eyes off the hat, Bo takes a deep swig of the whiskey. “Here’s to you, Pa,” Bo says. “You screwed the world and got away with it again.” Just then, when Clint shows up, Bo throws Asa’s hat to the ground in a rage!
