Complete story — includes the ending

Now outside of Austin with the Texas Rangers in pursuit, Miles leads them away to buy Monroe, Connor and Charlie time to escape and return to the camp. Knocked from his carriage and confronted by the rangers, Miles fails to reason with them and is seriously injured in the ensuing gunfight. With the rangers now dead, Miles makes his way to an abandoned house but ends up trapped in the basement, alone and wounded, where he attempts to treat his wound. Meanwhile, Charlie and Rachel decide to search for Miles along with Monroe. During the search, Charlie is confronted by Neville who demands to know where Jason is. She leads him to a house, but he holds her at gunpoint, forcing her to reveal that she had previously killed Jason in self defense. Meanwhile, Aaron continues to deal with the nanotech-controlled Priscilla's demands, and learns that she knew where Miles was, but believed him not worth the effort of saving. Desperate and alone, Miles successfully escapes from the basement after burning the ceiling. Flashback: Six months ago, alone and drinking in a bar in Willoughby, Miles walks outside and is drawn to a nearby shed. Inside he encounters a nanotech illusion of Ben Mattheson. The nanotech recreated Ben talks about Miles' relationship with Rachel. Angered by this, Miles then burns the shed down.
