Ken Griffiths goes up to Charley and Charley starts to choke him. Cheri Griffiths grabs a pitcher and smashes it on Charley's head and Reilly punches Charley in the face to no effect. Both Ken and Reilly start fighting Charley and Julia arrives. Charley then starts to attack Julia and takes her gun from her. As Charley is about to shoot Julia, Reilly shoots him in the leg. Julia tells Reilly he will have to wait to speak with Sheriff Hanks and takes his gun from him. Ken and Cheri leave in the RV. Sheriff Hanks arrives and Julia updates him on what is going on. After Sheriff Hanks gets Reilly's backstory, Charley breaks free and steals Sheriff Hank's vehicle.

Charley starts shooting at vehicles with a shotgun and Sheriff Hanks and Julia arrive. Deputy drives up and Sheriff Hanks tells him Charley has gone crazy. Deputy goes up to Charley and asks him to give him the shotgun and Charley shoots and kills him. Sheriff Hanks then shoots and kills Charley.
