He apprehended 4 criminals but the sheriff refuse to pay and intend to kill him as well. Josh kills them all back and only get his bounty, returning the rest. Michael Fassbender and his gang blow up a train with dozens of soldiers.
John had faked his own death and all the years of striking innocent facilities, he has strike fear to the people who may likely topple the government who fail to protect them. A lieutenant Will Arnett is task to find Josh in order to defeat John.
Megan Fox is a prostitute who is close to Josh. The army found him and mention the name of John to him, he decide to follow the army back. Will is not in favor to find Josh for help. He talk to a dead henchman of John by touching him.
He extract the info that Tom Wopat is the ex-Colonel baddie recruiting him and head for that direction. Wes Bentley is the traitor that tells John the army secret shipment routes. The baddies rob a chest full of some orange balls which is a deadly weapon detonator.
