Jack shows up in Wyoming as soon as he hears the divorce is final, hoping to now be able to live a
life ranching with Ennis. Ennis is torn, as he too longs for the idyllic life Jack describes, but he explains that if they live together they will be killed for being "queer." With Ennis struggling to make ends meet and becoming briefly involved with a pretty waitress, Ennis is able to meet less frequently. Jack visits Mexico looking to satisfy his physical needs. When he taunts Ennis with this information in an effort to make him jealous, Ennis replies " I wish I could quit you."Ennis gets a postcard he'd sent to Jack returned with "deceased" marked across it. Jack is dead. He was thirty-nine years old. When Ennis contacts Jack's wife, Lureen, she lies about Jack's death, telling Ennis he was accidentally killed by a tire iron while changing a flat, when in fact Jack was killed for being "queer,"( just as Ennis had always said they would be if they lived together.) Lureen also tells Ennis that Jack wanted his ashes spread at his favourite place, Brokeback Mountain.
