An eye opens and we see it is the eye of a little boy, the young Sawyer. Someone is pounding on a door and his mother rushes in and says, "He's here." She tells him to get under the bed and then makes the bed so that his father will think young Sawyer is still at his grandparents' house.She begs him not to make a sound, tells him she loves him, then hurries out, shutting the door behind her.
Sawyer's dad is in the house now, yelling at his mother. We hear a gunshot, then a body falling to the floor. Young Sawyer scoots further back under his bed. His door opens and from under the bed we see a pair of cowboy boots walk in. The man sits on the bed. Another gunshot and the man slumps over on the bed.

Later, he sits on the church steps by himself. He's writing a letter, but his pen stops working. Jacob comes over and gives him a pen that he says he can keep. "I'm very sorry about your mother and father, James."
Sawyer looks down at the letter. It's the beginning of the letter he wrote to Mr. Sawyer. A man walks over and says, "Come on, Jimmy. We've got to get to the cemetery, okay? What are you writing?"
"Nothing," Sawyer says.
The man takes it from him and reads it. "Dear Mr. Sawyer. You don't know who I am, but I know who you are and I know what you done." He squats. "Listen to me, Jimmy, I know that you're mad at the man who did this to your mama and daddy, and hell, you've got every right to be. But you've got to move on, boy. They're gone. There ain't nothing you can do to change that. What's done is done. Now promise me you're not going to finish that letter."
"I promise."
"Come on. Let's go say goodbye."
