00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel. In this video, I will explain the ending of Lawman Bass Reeves

00:04Season 1. So, let's begin.

00:07The eighth and final episode of Paramount's Western series Lawman Bass Reeves, titled

00:11Part 8, ends with the showdown between Deputy Marshal Bass Reeves and Texas Ranger Esau

00:16Pierce. Esau sets out to crucify Bass just like Jackson Cole without realizing that the

00:22lawman crossed the state border with the company of two men. Cheryl Lynn and Billy Crow put

00:27their lives on the line to protect Bass. Although one of them dies amid the shootout

00:31that ensues, the other one gets fortunate enough to start a new chapter of his life.

00:36Bass punishes Esau with the punishment he deserves and sets free a group of black men

00:40from shackles. Here's everything you need to know about the ending, just to let you

00:45know this video will contain spoilers.

00:48Part 8 begins with Bass Reeves showing up in Fort Worth, Texas, with Cheryl Lynn and

00:52Billy Crow. He wants to confirm whether Esau Pierce is really Mr. Sundown upon meeting

00:57him for the balance of payment regarding the Jackson Cole assignment. The trio kidnaps

01:02a cowboy and learns Esau's location from him. Cheryl kills him after finding out what

01:07they want to know despite Bass' instruction to free the man. The veteran lawman also gets

01:12into a fight with Billy after taunting the Native American for a while.

01:16The next morning, Bass goes to the former Confederate soldier's estate alone. Jenny

01:21attends a sermon Esme arranges and listens to her friend talk about the need for their

01:25community's betterment. Esme strikes a connection with Deputy Rogers as well. After the sermon,

01:32Jenny returns to her house, only to meet Mrs. George Reeves, the former's master when she

01:36was a slave. The white woman invites Jenny and her kids back to her house for them to

01:41restart serving the Reeves family. Jenny slaps the woman and makes her leave the house. A

01:47shaken Jenny then goes to Esme for comfort as her husband Bass is far away from her.

01:52Bass sees several black men working for Esau despite the abolition of slavery.

01:57The Texas Ranger welcomes Bass to his home and pays the balance the latter demands.

02:02Before meeting the Texas Ranger, Bass sees the angel bones the former talked about during their

02:07previous meeting. After getting the money Esau owes, Bass asks the fellow lawman about Mr.

02:12Sundown. Esau invites Bass to dinner and takes him to see his property afterward. Bass sees

02:18Jackson Cole tied with chains and he frees the prisoner with Esau's permission. Why does Bass

02:24kill Esau Pierce? Bass does kill Esau. Bass goes to Texas with Cheryl and Billy as a lawman and

02:31not as the Texas Ranger's executioner. As someone who is committed to the rationale of the law,

02:36Bass doesn't want to challenge it and punish Esau on his own. He must have planned to arrest the

02:41man for kidnapping and killing countless black people as Mr. Sundown. Esau even confesses to

02:47building his empire with the money he gained by submitting black people's issues, which makes it

02:51clear that Bass was right about his assumption. Still, the deputy marshal gets forced to kill the

02:57former Confederate soldier due to the latter's actions. After asking Bass to free Cole from the

03:02chains, Esau asks his fellow lawman to chain himself. Esau tells Bass that the latter is

03:08nothing but a slave despite the badge he carries. Esau is driven by pure hatred towards the black

03:14community and the hate he harbors inside him makes him blind to see Bass as a fellow lawman.

03:19When the deputy marshal stands in front of him and interrogates him about the crimes he committed,

03:23Esau gets offended because he cannot tolerate the fact that a former slave has become an equal.

03:28Thus, he wishes to see Bass back in chains as a slave to satisfy his racist impulses to torture

03:34any black man who cherishes their freedom. Esau, however, doesn't foresee that Bass has come with

03:39friends. While he threatens the deputy marshal, Cheryl and Billy show up out of nowhere and fight

03:45the Texas Rangers men. Cole joins the group and stops one of them to free Bass to go after Esau.

03:51Although Cheryl gets trapped, forcing him to kill himself, his intervention allows the fellow deputy

03:56to hunt down the racist man. When Bass confronts Esau's vicious intentions to make him a slave

04:02again, the deputy marshal realizes that the latter doesn't deserve to live anymore. He may

04:07know that it is pointless to drag a Texas Ranger to Fort Smith when he can use his influence to

04:11bend the law. Bass kills Esau after getting convinced that the law cannot help him punish

04:16the latter for the crimes he had been committing against the black people. Although the Texas Ranger

04:21tries to run away, Bass follows the officer and his bullets grant the former the punishment he deserves.

04:27Does Bass resign as a deputy marshal? After killing Esau, Bass returns to his house and

04:32tells Jenny that he has returned with all of his parts forever, indicating that he may not leave

04:37his family to serve as a lawman again. Bass' apparent decision to put an end to his career

04:42as a lawman isn't surprising after he gets convinced that law doesn't help him much.

04:46Ever since becoming a deputy marshal, Bass has been expected to blindly follow the books of

04:51rules irrespective of what his heart tells him. As a black man who has suffered a lot, Bass knows

04:56how much his community is ignored and tortured by the law written by white men. After confronting

05:01the reality of a Mr. Sundown, Bass gets convinced that the law that cannot punish such a killer is

05:06inadequate, which makes him an inadequate lawman as well. That's when he becomes the law for Esau

05:12and executes him for justice to prevail. He knows that the black men who suffered in Esau's estate

05:17won't get justice if the Texas Ranger walks away from a court without losing anything.

05:22For those slaves to get what they deserve, Bass abandons the white men's law and kills Esau.

05:27By murdering the Texas Ranger, Bass kills the blindly abiding lawman in himself, which seemingly

05:32leads him to put an end to his career as a deputy marshal. When Bass accepts the deputy marshal's

05:38badge, he swears an oath to execute the law without discriminating against the people in

05:42front of him based on their race. However, his experiences have taught him that the same law

05:47doesn't do what he swore to do, which convinces him to abandon the badge for good. Does Billy

05:52Crow become a deputy marshal? Yes, Billy does become a deputy marshal. Ever since the day Bass

05:59arrests him for robbery, Billy has been trying his best to prove to his master that he can be a

06:03lawman like him. The Native American joins Bass with the dream of becoming someone on his own.

06:10He doesn't want to spend his life serving a group of robbers for good.

06:13After the deputy marshal gives him a chance, Billy tries his best to follow in the footsteps

06:18of the former. He accompanies Bass in several assignments-slash-missions and even saves the

06:23latter's life on several occasions. The shootout at Esau's estate proves once again how Billy has

06:29evolved to become a lawman without a badge. When Sheryl realizes that he will die sooner than

06:34later, he gives his badge to Billy. As a veteran lawman, Sheryl knows one of his lot when he sees

06:40a person. His judgment about Bass having the potential to become an exceptional deputy is

06:45enough to understand his words when he says Billy deserves to become a lawman as well.

06:50Along with Sheryl, Bass also identifies Billy's capabilities, which explains why

06:54he wants to tell Judge Isaac Parker that the Native American deserves to be a deputy.

06:59In addition to the badge, Bass also gives him a piece of diamond for him to marry Calista.

07:04Billy is set to start a new chapter of his life as a deputy with a beautiful wife beside him.

07:10He may sell the diamond to free Calista from the brothel and they may get married

07:13to form a family as he has always wanted. That's all for now folks, I would appreciate
