Events of Red Dead Redemption 2
Benedict's camp's location
Benedict is found by a campfire on a small cliff, by the bank of the Dakota River. Arthur Morgan confronts him, causing Benedict to naturally show fear and anxiousness, worrying that Arthur is a bounty hunter who is here to capture him. Arthur initially asks where he can find Allbright, though Allbright is not forthcoming. As a result, Arthur tells him that his mother is sick and that he wants to buy his miracle cure to save her. Benedict, excited to sell his "medicine", happily bargains with the player. Arthur then suddenly throws the cure into the river, and abruptly aims his weapon at Allbright, demanding he surrenders.
Benedict denies Arthur's claims, before he accidentally slips and falls off the edge of the cliff. Arthur swiftly grabs him, and pulls him back up to the campsite. Benedict then threatens to jump back off the cliff, and Arthur attempts to persuade him not to. Knowing he has no other option, Allbright leaps off the cliff, falling into the river below to be carried quickly by the current, resulting in Arthur's pursuit. Further down the river, Arthur manages to apprehend Allbright via use of the lasso, and places him on the back of his horse.
Once returned to the sheriff's office in Valentine, the player receives the promised $50 reward for Allbright's capture.
