After making the deal with The Devil and coming back to life, The Man was determined to find The Woman. He knew she was alive, but The Devil didn't bother to tell him where she was. After all, he could only get her back when he finished his part of the deal. The 1000 men.

He was already 25 men in, 975 to go.

He just checked into another Motel, somewhere to stay the night before he had to leave the state again to run from the police.
