The Test

While on his way to Sioux Falls.....Jason unintentionaly involves a Catholic priest in a deadly encounter with four drunken Comanches. Jason ends up killing three of the four Comanches. But he is upset when this stranger does not take part in helping him defend the two of them? As he approaches the stranger with anger.....he sees his white collar and his cross. He then understands. He goes back to the mission with Father Durant. While working outside at the mission an indian approaches the priest and tells them Chief Looking Glass wants to see the long coat (Father Durant). The Chief accuses them of killing the three braves and the priest must fight Wild Horse - who was the fourth indian who had lied to the Chief about what had happened. Jason wants to fight for the priest and tells the Chief of a different kind of bravery and courage. And puts the priest to a ""test"" to prove how strong and brave the father really if. And how he does not fight and will turn the other cheek. The chief agrees. Jason asks the priest for his cross and wears it in his fight. Jason defeats Wild Horse and the Chief calls Jason a warrior and tells his people how they could learn from the long coat. Jason gives back the cross to Father Durant and says "what strong medicine it was."
