The look on Dutch's face when Hosea is shot is so devasted. His voice is ruined. It's such a huge turning point.

I know for a fact someone else has mentioned this but Dutch didn't want to do the bank job. Imagine how he felt knowing he'd been proven right. Imagine how he felt knowing that his one closest friend, lover, wanted to do this so bad and wanted to fix everything and fucking got shot for it.

Imagine how Hosea fell in those last few seconds when he can hear Dutch pleading to have him return and he suddenly thinks that Dutch was right and there's nothing he could do because he's been shot

u used to be able to put a dvd in your computer. and then u could watch it
