Spoiler here. Why would Keith Carradine take Keitel's name off execution list? Was he trying to prevent him from dying a nobel death? I can't imagine he really wanted to help him, even if he had some weird level of respect for him after all they went through.

That indefinable thing, *honor*, demanded it. He *could* not let the State dispose of *his* enemy, for *his* safety or convenience. This was a personal matter, which *had* to be settled personally.
And I like the way he finally settled it too, by the way. Though I did pity Feraud a little.
Ozy
And I stood where I did be; for there was no more use to run; And again I lookt with my hope gone.
Yeah that makes sense. But it would not have been dishonorable to let the state finish him off through no fault of Dubeart. Dubeart is not his keeper and if Keitel's big mouth got him into trouble that's his problem.
share Also, D'Hubert had come to feel the existence of some kind of weird *bond* between himself and Feraud. He felt some inexpressible transcendent tie, and a tug of mutual obligation.
This may not make any sense, but I was reminded of this movie the first time I heard that A Perfect Circle song "Passive."

Though the way I interpreted that song, it was more like Feraud speaking, despairing and desolate, if he had finally succeeded in killing D'Hubert, leaving himself with no more purpose in life.

I think perhaps D'Hubert was being nice and still trying to win over Feraud. He did the same thing in Russia, offering Schnapps. But Feraud still held onto the grudge.
As soon as Feraud got free from the death list, he challenges his rival to a duel. it is shown that Feraud does not like this gesture of kindness, which leads to the final duel.
Even when given his life back, Feraud still chooses dueling. It goes to show how obsessive he really was.
Oh, but Keitel got what he deserved-a fate worse than death, living with the dishonor of being Carradines bitch in so many words
shareThe respect thing. It's an element of chivalry.
