Note del giocatore
John Marston incontra il Professor Harold MacDougal nella sua stanza d'albergo a Blackwater e lo trova intento a fare in fretta i bagagli per Yale. Sconvolto dai suoi recenti incontri con il pericolo, MacDougal ha abbandonato lo studio delle persone che definisce "selvaggi" e vuole lasciare West Elizabeth. Prima che John possa insistere, Dutch van der Linde spara attraverso la finestra e chiama Marston dall'esterno. Gli uomini di Dutch hanno circondato l'albergo e John accetta di portare il professore fuori città sano e salvo.
John conduce MacDougal sul tetto, dove Nashoba tiene il professore sotto la minaccia di una pistola. John uccide Nashoba prima che possa sparare a MacDougal, poi combatte la banda di Dutch sui tetti circostanti. Eliminati gli assalitori, MacDougal segue John mentre scendono dall'albergo. Recuperano i loro cavalli e lasciano Blackwater insieme.
La strada per Manzanita Post non è libera. La banda di Dutch attacca la coppia due volte lungo il percorso, costringendo John a difendere MacDougal finché i cavalieri rimasti non vengono messi in fuga. A Manzanita Post, MacDougal ringrazia John e gli dà l'addio. In lacrime e desideroso di tornare alla vita accademica, sale sul treno per Yale mentre John resta alla stazione.
Curiosità
- ◆The mission's title is a reference to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, one of the parables of Jesus, recorded in Luke 15:11-32.
- ◆MacDougal can be seen packing a Bible into his bag while he is preparing to leave the hotel. This is a possible just because of the above mentioned Bible reference.
- ◆Coincidentally, his hotel room is the same one that Chu Fuk Choi later occupies in the game after MacDougal's absence. Interestingly, he got rid of the bible (likely due to religious reasons) but the briefcase is otherwise still there.
- ◆Even though MacDougal takes a train back to Yale, none of the train tracks ever lead out of the actual game world.
- ◆In Undead Nightmare, the Professor returns to Blackwater to do some more research, but he ends up getting infected.
- ◆It is quite unknown why there are no civilians or policemen or even Edgar Ross and Archer Fordham present in this mission in the town as they would very likely hear all of the noise and the commotion in town. Even the couple next door don't seem to hear all of the yelling in the next and the fact that Dutch van der Linde just shot through the window.
- ◆This mission is very similar to the film "3:10 to Yuma", in which the two main characters escape a hotel onto a rooftop, surviving multiple ambushes while attempting to make it to a train.
- ◆The player can kill both civilians in the bedroom without any repercussions. Dutch and his gang will not be alerted no matter what weapon is used. Whoever is killed first, the other will yell at the player, "My God! What kind of animal are you!" if the woman is alive and "Oh no! What have you done!?" if it is the Newlywed. If a gun is held on one of them, they will say three quotes each and continue on a loop until the player either shoots them or stops aiming at them.
- ◆If one attempts to hogtie one of the newlyweds, it is highly likely they will accidentally die. It is best to punch them, causing them to break out of their cover stance, allowing them to be hogtied. There is no real benefit from doing this, but there is a chance you may receive some revolver ammo for it (as if you had hogtied a criminal).
