Latham has come, straight as one of his bolts, after Helm. Helm wants to know why. Latham only wants to know if Helm wants it fast or slow.

Meanwhile, Montoya and his troops are still following Tessa's horse, away from the doctor. "The woman has a good heart," Luis remarks, "I shall keep it in a jar on my desk." They stop and look more closely at the hoofprints. "A little voice speaks to Montoya," the colonel muses. He sends his men on and turns back. I am Liam Latham's brother.

Oh,oh. That's why the Latham sounded so familiar. Lt. Helm, HMSS, flashes back to the moment when he caught Liam trying to sell troop placement maps to the enemy. Helm kills the young man.

Liam's older brother gets a good look at Helm before he flees. It was war.
What? Not going to use the those-were-different-times excuse?
War or no, tell me you didn't get a thrill killing.
That's just a rumor some witch started.

Tell me you don't hear the guns and see the dead every day of your life.
You know I can't, replies Helm. (Not with all these bloody flashbacks!)
The Black Queen to Red Vengeful Bro. and mate.
Tessa fouls the crossbow with her whip.
Latham turns on the Queen.
No! Helm shouts, Leave the woman alone. It's me you want.

Tessa throws Helm her sword and the battle is set. Snicker-snack up and down the rocky gulch. Just as Montoya rides up on that nice black gelding of his. You gave him your sword, Senorita. Did I tell you about this jar I have on my desk?

Craaaaaaack. Tessa misses Montoya's sword and rips off his medal. Ooooops.

...more snicker-snacks and grunting up and down the rocks. ...while Montoya faces off with Tessa and her favorite paring knife. Helm gets the upper hand and tries to give Latham a chance to walk away from this.
Say, Helm, did I tell you about this jar the Colonel keeps on his desk?
