Notas do jogador
Em Horseshoe Overlook, Leopold Strauss manda Arthur Morgan ao Downes Ranch, em The Heartlands, para cobrar um empréstimo que Thomas Downes não pagou. Arthur cavalga até a fazenda e encontra Downes trabalhando no jardim. Quando exige o dinheiro de Strauss, Downes tenta acertá-lo com um ancinho. Arthur bloqueia o golpe e o pressiona pela dívida, mas Downes afirma que não tem mais nada.
Downes implora, dizendo que tem uma família, enquanto Arthur segue intimidando-o. Arthur o agride, e o fazendeiro doente tosse sangue no rosto dele durante a briga. Arthur ignora isso e volta a exigir o pagamento. Downes diz que não pode pagar, então Arthur manda que venda a fazenda. Downes responde que a propriedade já deve mais do que vale.
A esposa de Downes sai da casa e manda Arthur ir embora, avisando que Thomas está doente. Arthur se afasta do fazendeiro e deixa Downes Ranch rumo a Horseshoe Overlook. No acampamento, ele confronta Strauss por causa do empréstimo, furioso porque Strauss emprestou dinheiro a uma família sem condições de quitá-lo.
Curiosidades
- ◆This mission is a major turning point for Arthur, as Downes coughs in his mouth and gives him tuberculosis, which eventually leads to Arthur's death.
- ◆Unlike the other money lending missions, the player must complete this mission to proceed with the storyline.
- ◆In addition, it is impossible to prevent Downes from coughing blood on Arthur. He will do so even if Arthur does not beat him and any facial wear will be removed like most cutscenes, thus making it impossible to prevent Arthur from contracting tuberculosis.
- ◆When Arthur is reading a letter from Mary Linton, a cutscene may play where Strauss will tell Arthur to pay Thomas a visit, therefore triggering the mission, forcing the player to complete it as it cannot be abandoned.
- ◆There are two bits of foreshadowing quotes that Arthur will remember during his final ride to camp in the "Red Dead Redemption" mission depending on his Honor:
- ◆At the start of the mission, when Arthur approaches Downes to collect the debt from him, the latter futilely tries fighting him before begging him with "Please... I have a family, sir... please", a line Arthur later remembers if his Honor is low.
- ◆Toward the end of the mission, when Arthur demands money from Thomas after getting coughed on and, after being told the latter doesn't have it, tells him to "Sell the place", Thomas responds with his final words: "We already owe more than it's worth..."; a line Arthur remembers if his Honor is high.
- ◆Even if the player does not strike Downes at all, the following cutscene will still show him with a beaten and bruised face.
- ◆Holding out on this mission is the only time every currently active member of the gang can be free at camp at once without being locked behind starting a mission.
- ◆When approaching Strauss at the end of the mission, several vultures can be seen flying above where he's seated. This is an allegory for Strauss' character, a scavenger who takes what little remains of those less fortunate than himself.
- ◆If the mission is done right after "The First Shall Be Last" instead of the usual party at the camp, there is only Sean standing by the fire with a bottle in his hand and all the gang members act as if Sean had been rescued more than a day ago.
- ◆If the player visits Valentine after the mission, some people may talk about how Downes was beat up.
- ◆The General Store Owner will comment that Downes has got himself tangled up with loan sharks and that it has been a bad run for Downes.
- ◆The Barber will mention that someone beat Downes up "something rotten" and that Downes had "some" luck.
- ◆If the player visits the Wallace Station General Store, the owner will comment about Downes' death.
