Trigun Episode 3 : Peace Maker

In the city of Warrens, a drunk former gun maker, Frank Marlon, stumbles into a bar and asks a man at the first table for a free drink. He is promptly beaten up and thrown out. The next morning, Meryl and Milly enter the city, discussing how they are going to find Vash. They decide to discard all rumors and just look for an expert gunfighter truly worth a $$60 billion bounty. Just then, Vash walks by and Milly calls him by his real name to see if he responds. Since he does respond to the name "Vash", she thinks it truly is him. Meryl dismisses the notion saying that they should look for an atrocious fiend, not a brainless idiot. Frank comes tumbling out of a bar door, right into Vash, knocking them both down. He offers to waive medical fees for his injuries if Vash will buy him a drink. When Vash tries to get away, Frank wraps his arms and legs around him and begs not to be forsaken. Vash finally gives in and they go back into the bar. We learn a bit more about Frank's background here. He crafted guns for the entire town and handed them out door to door. Vash agrees to let Frank fine tune his gun. Meanwhile, the agents find out that the town has no sheriff, and most are not worried about rumors of the Vash being spotted nearby. The next scene reveals that there is indeed an outlaw near town, known as "Big Bro" to his gang, impersonating Vash. He knows the town has no sheriff and plans to rob an armored car arriving at the bank the next day.
