 As Django can identify the Brittle brothers, Schultz offers him his freedom in exchange for help tracking them down. King first takes Django to a small town where he immediately murders the sheriff. Before a Marshall can arrest them King explains that the sheriff was actually a wanted cattle rustler with a $ 200 bounty on him that the furious Marshall is now required to pay. After tracking and killing the Brittles, the liberated Django (adopting the surname "Freeman") partners with Schultz through the winter and becomes his apprentice; Schultz discovers that Django has a natural talent for gunslinging. Schultz explains that he feels responsible for Django since Django is the first person he has ever freed, and felt morally obliged to help Django (whom he described as a "real-life Siegfried") reunite with Broomhilda. Django, now fully trained, collects his first bounty, keeping the handbill for good luck.
