He didn't need to.

The whole desert was his cathedral.

Hold up!

I'm coming in tonight.

Hogue loved the desert...

...Ioved it deeper than he'd ever say.

He built his empire...

...but was man enough to give it up

for love when the time came.

Lord, as the day draws toward evening,

this life grows to an end for us all.

We say adieu to our friend.

Take him, Lord.

But knowing Cable,

I suggest you do not take him lightly.

Amen.
