Synopsis
The story begins with a young Saxton Hale and his girlfriend Mags fighting animals in the jungle. Saxton vows never to leave her and claims he won't take his father's position at Mann Co. However, a man named Darling shows up, forcibly taking the animals so he can create his crazy idea, called a 'zoo'.
The story cuts to older Mags and Saxton standing outside a prison. It is revealed that Saxton had been arresting for burning down most of the zoo of his longtime nemesis Darling. Saxton admits that he had planned to ask Darling for help in obtaining Mann Co. back, but his grudge had gotten the best of him. Mags and Saxton leave, with Mags offering to help Saxton retake his company.
The scene changes to Scout and Spy in prison, discussing their imminent hanging. Scout practices his defense, while Spy urges him to take the public defender as he pulls out most of his teeth. Scout whines at this, remembering the time Soldier was his defense, and an even earlier case in which his defender was, of all things, a lamp. Spy keeps calm and eats a ridiculously tiny dinner which supposedly consists of miniature Cornish game hens. A fellow inmate tries to murder Spy as he's eating, but the assailant mysteriously winds up with a knife in their back. Scout panics, thinking they are in more trouble now, but then the mayor of Teufort comes to visit them. He makes small talk and claims he will miss the mercs, offering Spy a cake with a nail file in it as a joke.
Demoman suits up in a civilian disguise along with Soldier, who is reluctant to pose as a civilian but eventually agrees, while Miss Pauling explores the library and Pyro burns the library's textbooks. Soldier and Demoman set out to find the courthouse where the trial for Scout and Spy will take place. Soldier attempts to interrogate an old woman, but Demoman is much friendlier and gets the location easily, but discovers the hanging will take place soon.
Outside the courthouse are people clamoring for the mercs' death, some even going as far as hanging Heavy dolls on a pole with ropes around their necks. The mayor delivers a guilty verdict but promptly discovers the trial hasn't even begun and the public defender explains that the trial was missing almost every figure of law needed. Soldier volunteers as public defender, not realizing they already have one. He demands that Scout be hanged, shedding his disguises and leading to people to demand Soldier and Demoman's hanging as well.
The Execution has begun and the ropes are about to tighten, with the mayor being slightly sympathetic toward the mercs, but claiming they have done ridiculous crimes such as rezoning a school. These are revealed to be untrue by Miss Pauling, who bursts onto the scene exclaiming that the mercs had to be innocent because their 'crimes' were actually unwittingly done by the mayor himself. She shows everyone a pamphlet she found at the library outlining mayoral duties, and it explains that mayors cannot hang criminals, and the mercs hadn't even done the crimes they were accused off. The mayor attempts to pardon the mercs, but the book says he cannot do that either, so Miss Pauling sets them free. The mayor leaves to learn how to actually be a mayor, and the townspeople follow him. The mercs are now free and set out to find the others.
