Custer had a checkered past, as the boy was well aware. The audience at this point didn't know much about Custer. The boy asked him to "hurt" his father because the father had been beating on his mother.

Custer at first seemed to agree, but instead mentioned that he didn't know how far was far enough, and that the man's friends might get involved. Instead he offered to help in some other way, but didn't commit to a way to actually help.

Answer: He drank a lot.

In the opening scene there were several empty bottles of booze in Custer's house. Then a few scenes later, he was sitting in his truck drinking when the town sheriff came up to talk to him.

The sheriff and the preacher talked about a few things, none of them being him drinking from a bottle before he was about to drive off.

He was also shown to smoke in the episode, but not to an excess.

Answer: False

Custer walked into the house and found Walter either sleeping or unconscious without a shirt on. He walked to the bedroom to find the older man a shirt, saw a gun on the dresser, heard water running in the bathroom and chose to leave.

The scene started with her killing a man who was in an older model car she was driving. She ended up just outside the farmhouse where two young children were home alone. She spoke with them briefly, let them help her build the bazooka and then hid them in the cellar.

Off camera she then shot down a helicopter, while the camera showed the kids reactions to the sounds.

Answer: A Confederate soldier

The man was the father to the boy who had asked the preacher to beat up his father earlier in the episode. Jesse Custer had instead tried to get the sheriff involved, and then when he wouldn't do anything talked to the wife personally.

The man, with his friends in tow, came into the bar after a Civil War reenactment and tried to pick a fight with the preacher. He allowed the man to hit him several times, but when the man threatened the boy, the preacher decided to step in and fought the man and all of his friends.

Answer: True

The sheriff had been in the bar during the fight. He told Custer to stop, and Jesse responded that he was "almost done". After that he snapped the man's arm who had attacked him and made him scream an ungodly scream. For the fight both Custer and Cassidy were arrested. Cassidy was a vampire who the preacher hadn't previously met before that night in the bar.

Answer: He promised his father to become a good guy.

In a flashback Jesse Custer as a boy was shown making a promise to his father. He promised to be a good man just before he saw his father get shot in the head.

It took him many years, but he finally returned to his hometown and took over the same church where his father had been a preacher.
