John Marston returns to the town of Blackwater to tell Edgar Ross that he killed Bill Williamson and held up his end of the deal. Ross informs him that he will not be absolved of his crimes until he kills the gang leader, Dutch van der Linde. Dutch has been hiding with a local Native American population in order to avoid capture. Marston fights a group of the new Indian gang, but Dutch escapes.
Marston does jobs for Harold MacDougal before grouping up with the U.S. Army to go after Dutch's new gang. They attack Dutch's hideout and Marston chances Dutch to the edge of a cliff. Dutch gives Marston a speech about how they are both no longer useful and that the government is simply using him. He then commits suicide by jumping off the cliff.
Following the death of Dutch, Ross releases Marston's family, Abigail and Jack, and they all return to Marston Ranch.
