Also, in case anyone was wondering, one dollar in 1899 is worth $36.25 today, meaning that Dutch’s total take from the ferry is $5,437,500 in today’s money. To put it in perspective, that’s almost enough to buy one whole car in GTA Online🤡

A very interesting detail I only just noticed -- Agent Milton only shoots Hosea after he turns back around and faces him. Shooting a man with his back turned to you was/is considered extremely dishonorable and underhanded; this is referenced in the duel between that old gunslinger and the old lawman. I always thought Milton was written to be irredeemably despicable, but he's consistently well-mannered and well-disciplined. Just more layers to the themes of the story.

[@greenknightofwar7024]

It could also be a way to legally clear himself. It doesn’t look good or hold up well in court when you shoot someone in the back. So waiting for him to turn was probably just a way for him to kill Hosea and not get criminalized for it.

It's funny that a simple quote from John can be actually quite loaded and thought provoking. When John says to Milton's enquiry about his name, and says 'Rip Van Winkle'......Rip Van Winkle is a story about a guy who meets a mysterious Dutchman who gives Rip some beer as payment for helping the Dutchman with some work. Rip drinks so much beer that he fell asleep for 20 years. There's the thing about sleeping for 20 years, whereas the Pinkertons slogan was 'We Never Sleep.' Then you've got Rip who meets the mysterious Dutchman, the same as John. The amount of thought that went into just a short sentence is incredible, and is one of the many reasons why Red Dead 2 is the best game ever made 🤠👍

@@joaqu7002 true because during the epilogue John ends up getting $20,000 from the Blackwater Heist money which is probably after he split it with Charles and Sadie, and however much he needed to pay off the bank loan. So it was probably even more than that which should have been more than enough to buy land and building supplies especially out west where there wasn’t much civilization where they originally wanted to go. My guess is Dutch wanted to seek glory in one last big score instead of letting Hosea and Arthur do their low risk job only, plus in Arthur’s journal he wrote that they had already looked at a plot of land to buy but Dutch backed out either because he thought the law was watching them or it didn’t meet his criteria. The gang could have probably settled down somewhere and lived quiet lives years earlier but Dutch would always need “one last score”

I looked into the Pinkertons _"suing"_ Rockstar, they can't sue you. They have no right to claim that they own history, which was Rockstar's arguement. They eventually just dropped the cease and desist when Rockstar sued them in response with that arguement. They had no grounds.

If the Pinkerton's were to be believed, this was his chance to and he turned it down, which is another example of Dutch really being in it for himself rather than for the good of the gang.

I love that Rockstar won the case against Pinkerton. This company to call on historic level that law-enforcment company to be it self criminal and antidemocratic would to put it mildly. It was also more than once depicted in the Late-Western sub-genre, like in the great Sergio Corbucci-Movie ( the guy also behind the original Django-Movie) "Il grande silenzio" / "The Great Silence" is some what funny, because between both of the great Sergios of the Italo-Westerns, so him and Sergio Leone had some what of a competition how to approach a s social-critique comantary on bounty hunters, in both of their great western movies. So with the fishing scene from the point they had this horror-movie a like situation with Arthur and the boy & the Pinkertons they went to play 2 families ( grays and braithwaites) against each other to profit them self, just like Sergio Leones nameless antihero depicted by Clint Eastwood does, in a "A Fistful of Dollars" with the 2 gangs ( original Leone tooked that setting from Akira Kurrosawa´s Samurai Movie Yojimbo btw.). For me this was hilarious because basically "Il grande silencio by corbucci wich came after "A Fistful of Dollars" was by design a critique on Sergio Leone´s bounty hunter anti-heroes. So inside of RDR2 the dispute of both this Italian Filmakers lives on as a homage and some sort of a post modern quote of their Discourse.

[@bomberdomme7308]

To give one more anecdote on Western Film makers social commentary and their competition.... For a long time Sergio Leone admired american film maker Sam Peckinpah, who was beside John Ford one of the 2 big house hold names of the American Late-Western Sub genre... but Peckinpah ( so goes the story ) made a comment that rejected him and also had a somewhat dislike of Italian westerns in general. So that's why Sergio Leone friend Tony Tonino Valerii had a scene in the Movie "My Name is Nobody", on a graveyard, with a gravestone with the name "Sam Peckinpah" on it, on wich the "Nobody" called protagonist and typical antihero played by Terence Hill commented on: "Sam Peckinpah..." (stated some what ironic) "...now that's a beautiful Name"

When this game came out, I was surprised to find out how many people didn't know that Pinkerton agents were real in real life. Shit, but the timeframe in the game (1899), the Pinkerton Detective agency was already 49 years old

[@selphconscious]

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

@@selphconscious I know you’re being a smart ass. But 1) this was taught in elementary school. And 2) the Pinkerton agency is still in operation today. It never stopped.

[@bassplayer2011ify]

The Pinkerton Detective Agency is far from the secret service. They are essentially mercenaries. Often hired as strikebreakers and railroad bulls amoung other things in their hayday. When they show up with the maximum machine gun that is lously based on the Ludlow massacre. In which the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (sound familiar) brought in the Colorado National Guard and Pinkertons to break a coal miners' strike. 19 were killed 12 of them were children. And this is far from a rare occurrence in the Pinkerton's bloody history. P.S. Cornwall is basically a stand in for John D Rockefeller who owned the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company when this happened.

[@Kaltagstar96]

On the subject of Milton: In the scene where he gave the gang a few days to get out and he wouldn't follow them if they gave him Dutch, if the gang DID turn over Dutch, would Milton have kept his word or would he have sent Pinkerton's after the gang after they handed over Dutch?

[@ninakh1672]

I'd say he'd have left them alone. His main goal was Dutch.

Its a good thing Agent Milton wears a hat most of the time because whenever he takes it off I can't help but burst out laughing at his attrocious mohawk.

[@Jedi_Spartan]

19:51 The thing I find annoying about that is that - instead of spawning somewhere on the map 'off screen' with immediate knowledge of where the player is - there are times where they fully teleport spawn in front or behind the player... also what's the point of that and the invisible sniper? It just limits the player's fun.

[@unicronneedsfood1446]

This game is so widespread every high school American history class will learn about the pinkerton detective agency, I know mine did.

[@arcticeagle342]

I believe you forgot to mention during Chapter 5: Guarma, that the leader of that army hunting down the rebels & Dutch & Co., Fussar, knew who they were & was apparently talking to the PNDA about the price on their heads, mentioned by the revolutionary leader fellow you meet there. If some random jungle revolutionary guy can find out who Dutch is, then he has got problems. I also think I remember at some point learning about something that went down with the PNDA & a coal mine union in Pennsylvania about a river boat with a machine gun & a lot of agents threatening the workers & maybe getting into a shootout with the pipe-wielding men. Don't quote me on that though.

[@silentfox1738]

it owuld be really cool to play as a pinkerton agent on the side of the pinkertons as you try to figure out where the cowboys went.

[@Davionfrm804]

I’ve been waiting for videos like this keep up the good work man 💪🏾

[@outrageouscreation6865]

I think one of the greatest single moments of acting in a video game is when Arthur is saving Abigail and Sadie, and Milton has the gun to him, and he tells him that Micah has been a good little boy since Guarma, Arthur’s very simple, “okay…. Okay…” is so well delivered. You can read the whole games events in his voice right there. You feel him racing through the whole game in an instant trying to figure out what’s going on, and on the verge of a panic attack. Then all that on top of his TB coughing fit. It’s a beautifully acted moment.

[@omegawilliam95s36]

On the topic of Dutch's bounty, early in the game Arthur mentioned that Colm's bounty was just as high. Thinking about it, Colm has a larger gang, and has escaped his own execution several times. If Dutch can match that with a handful of men and women, that's pretty impressive.

In the milton monologue in lakay it allways seemed off to me that he was not seen while we bust open the doors as arthur , i mean we could clearly see him thru the hole in saif doors , we could clearly hear him as we kick the doors down .... so its my theory that this might have been the death scene of milton , like , we just kill him there but his death was moved and he just usef this monologue cus ...well its awesome and it would be shame to not use it , and i must say killing milton here would be quite ironic because of his monologue ....but this is truely just my speculation as of why it is the way it is.... and maybe its supposed to be taken as milton imidietly jumps back after seeing arthur burst the doors... like he just threw himself on the ground behind the building as soon as he saw him
