will make me very happy.

I wonder why Daddy does not take
us on any of his other trips.

It's not safe.

It is not safe for older people,
much less for children.

And anyway, education
was more important.

Ah, I do not like it nothing from school.

Anyway we have not

I think you're right, Ma.

I had tremendous luck.
Leave everything with your whole skin.

Hi.

Ballard, Wyatt commands the team,
which comes by way of the Buckhorn.

How much is it, Red? Oh, about 200 heads.

Good cattle.

Zeddie said he can afford a
price just for a hundred heads.

Which size, of Wyatt's team?

Are few. It should be easy.

Good. Mount.

We'll rob before that cross the desert.

"SACRAMENTO BEE, 1866
NEW GOLD STRIKE AT GRASS VALLEY

And as gentlemen know now,

the discovery of gold in
this state has encouraged...

to every outlaw and criminal
to the west of the Mississippi

to come here with us.

They grow fast and steal, destroy, murder,

and live with their weapons threatening
decent and respectable citizens.

Exceeding people, of the law in 20 to 1.

Honest people, they are so terrified

who are leaving the state.

Unless we do something soon,

in cities will only be outlawed.

Why are you so Interested in that, lad?

Since childhood I have lived,
in the way of the bad guys,

hunting the men who murdered,
My parents stole my brother.

It can take the rest of my life,
but I'll continue until I get them.

And at the same time,
with the appropriate help,

Can I do a good job? service to this state.

What do you expect the
state do, to solve this?

Just this:

Solicit me weapons,
ammunition and horses...

and the men I select.

And I promise, I will release
this state of all bandits...

and I will do his insurance for travel.

Young man, I speak for myself,

but I think it is, everyone's opinion here.

Your plan is exploded and
we admire his courage,

but if you need of money to ensure

the men and the team, who requested.

The state treasury has no
resources for these purposes.

Our Tax Gains not enough...

to face, to our obligations,

let alone to increase.

Therefore we are unable,
to accept your offer.

I understand. I just wish...

I could help you in person.

Thank you.

With money, or without money...

I will organize a group of men

and expel from the state all the fugitives.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Hello.

Are you Carter? Yes.

I learned that his wife was murdered,

by outlaws, who never
were brought to justice.

Must be in the barn,
tonight at ten o'clock.

"IMPORTANT"

I know you've suffered,
in the hands of the law...

Be in the barn,
From Hall to ten at night...

No flaws.

And the answer, gentlemen, is...

that we should group together.

You Carter and you, Russell...

and every man here suffered
the injustice of these thugs.

And here we are, to eliminate them.

Now my plan is this:

That every man should mount, a white horse,

with a black shirt and
a white handkerchief,

so we will recognize ourselves,
each other in battle.

I only ask singles and want to join.

Now who wants to join? You can count on me.

Me too. Count on me.

Good... and what are we going to do?

Now we will call, "THE WATCHERS".

We're with you, Captain. I'm happy to be.

for not having located,

Yes, but that will not stop him.

It will release the state of each outlaw,

He does not stay very close to us.

Wait to see how it works.

Who is he? always looking for

We do not know for sure.

Those guys seem to be in a great hurry.

Let's investigate.

The bunch of Black Bart
stole the diligence.

Those far away are them.

Let's go behind the rocks
boys and we will reach them.

Come on men!

Have you ever ridden, the Buckhorn Trail?

No, never.

Heard of a band that did
this path 12 years ago?

No, I never heard.

Grab these men and hand them over
the men of the city, Carter,

and see that the stolen money is returned
to the company of the diligence.

There's news?

Gordon's herd, Walks on the Dalton Trail.

They crossed the Snake River yesterday.

Will be in Paiute Meadows in a few days.

Well, it's very good.

I'll try to join them.

We can use the herd,
as bait for these bad guys.

Now take the men and wait for me,

at the north end of Paiute Meadows.

We leave in the morning. It's ok.

We will catch, the bunch of Black Bart.

All right, boys.
Let's put the herd in town.

Hello.

Yes, Lafe Gordon? Yes, sir.

Who are you?

It could be someone, to help you.

I know the way.

And I heard that I was needing people.

I thought I might join you.
Where have you worked?

On the other side of Snake, normally.

In Rand and Richard's team.

He was in charge of the road there.

Well... I have a good work for you.

You know this country well, eh? Yes, sir.

What is your name?
I am, John Allen.

You're hired, Allen.

Thirty-one bonus, if there are no losses.

Well, thank you, Lafe.

How it works the herd so far?

Very well, considering the weather.

Well, I'll go back and warn the
boys, that we have a new hand.

See you later.

Hey, you bastard!

Where do you think you're going?

Go back to the flock, domed

You know, who are you talking to?

And who are you, to call me domed?

Well I...
Is that...

And what you do here, if I may ask you?

I am the new incumbent, of the way boss.

My name is Mary Gordon.

And my father owns it. this team.

So from now on, I'm Miss Gordon for you.

not "dumb", asshole.

Come on, oh...

Ha, ha...
Oh...

Ah, ah, ah, ah...

Where did you meet the new head
of unmarked cattle, father.

I think it fell from the sky.

It looks like a good hand, to have around.

Oh, oh, ah...

Come on...
Go...

Good morning, Miss. Gordon.

Oh, good morning, Mr.

I can seal it for you.

Oh, I've been doing this, years ago.

I think once again it will not hurt me.

Well, all right.

I agree with you, girl who
rides the way of a herd,

must be prepared to do, your own work.

Now yes. All ready to go.

Any more orders?

A good steward of the road
should go in front of his team.

Yes, Miss. Gordon.

Good,

Plug Lewis returned.

He said that Gordon's herd
walk the Dalton Trail.

That is, what I expected to hear.

Where is it? Out.

Blackie, bring Jim here.

Hey, Jim! What happened?

Ballard wants to see you.

For what? Do not know.

Thanks.

Well, what happened?

Gordon's Herd it is in the plain.

I got a good price for her.

Bring on. Understood?

Clear. Do not worry.

I heard, that the Ranger Knights

are hunting the boys, in Sonora.

Keep your eyes open. You do not
have to worry about anything.

Do not be too sure from yourself.

I have heard that they are hard, very hard.

Oh, forget it. I'll pick up the
boys and stop imagining things.

Let's go guys.

It is funny, in which great delinquent,

became little Wyatt.

Shut up, you idiot.

Do not tell your true name again.

I do not want you to remember.

Do not know that we were,
who killed his parents.

Oh, come on...

Come on...

Soon it begins.

If the cold continues we
should cover more path.

Yes, we did very well yesterday.

This is for our new head of the way.

Allen!

Look there.

Let's see.

Calm down, my friend.

What happened?

But what happened? Help me.

They stole my horse. and left me to die.

Where did they rob you?
There are 5 miles behind.

I got here but could not,
do more without a horse.

John, tell the boys to bring
the waggon of provisions.

We'll take care of him.

Do you think we'll pass by Paiute
Meadows tomorrow, will we, Allen?

Around noon, I believe,
if that interests you.

Oh no. Just a curiosity.

I thought it mattered to you.

This Allen, is there long time with you?

Do not. Because?

Oh, nothing.

I think I've seen it, somewhere before.

Not only did this travel with us.

It's all right. I know.

I'm not so sure, MS. Gordon.

Of course, I'm not accusing Allen.

But this is an old trick, for
the robberies on the way.

Put a man to that I lead
the team to the trap.

But John is not, this kind of people.

You can not say, Mary.
We do not know much about him.

Your father is right.
You do not know him.

Ah we met him alike, as we know you. Yes?

But I did not come to look I work, or came?

Maybe it's right.

I will always be attentive. Very well.

You're the girl I love.

It's been a long time.

The girl that I help.

In my dreams.

When in the high castles.

That I build in heaven.

You were my queen.

Of the queens.

You have the eyes.

Lips and hair.

Of my girl in my castle.

Air.

Since they vanished.

I've been yearning every day.

For the girl, that I love.

In my dreams.

Oh, please sing again.

That's right, boss.
I'll do anything I want.

What's new, Jim?

Guys let's change, our plans.

I met a stranger in the team
and I did not like his looks.

But I will have this flock
in Paiute Meadows at sunrise.

Be ready, to fall on them.

Well, I have to go back,
so they do not suspect.

Well, if you'll excuse me, Mary,
I think I'll go to sleep.

I'm tired.

Thank you very much.
I really enjoyed your music.

Well, good night, Blasted.

Good night, you bastard.

Dad, I think it's wrong, about John.

Do not worry, Mary. We'll get
to know him better tomorrow.

Where is John Allen?
He went to sleep, he was tired.

I think it's a...
liar.

Not at the camp?

I did not find him, nor his horse either.

It is as I imagined. He went to your pack.

I do not believe.

Let's move on tonight.
We'll get him tomorrow.

We can be at Paiute. Meadows at sunrise.

Is a good idea.

Tell the boys, to move the herd.

We'll leave here tonight. That's right.

I think it is, making a mistake, Dad.

Gives the same, I do not have much choice.

Oh, go, oh, oh...

Well, boys, Let's get them!

He'll get the guy, that hurt you, Lafe.

Good work, son.

Take charge of them, boys.

It's ok? Yes, thanks to you.

Did they grab everyone? It is missing one.

I separated this guy for you
and made him sweat much.

He knows the cavalcade,
from the Buckhorn Trail.

So you rode on the Buckhorn Trail, huh?

And?

You know who assaulted, the Wyatt family?

What price has that? Enough, if you know.

How much is this? Your life.

I will not say anything.

It was Whit Ballard. Whit Ballard?

Where is he? I do not know.

Do not lie. Where is he?

You will find him in
outskirts of Grass Valley.

All right, Carter. Let this man go.

Our agreement is to leave the country
and stay away from Grass Valley.

Now, go on.

Carter...

takes the herd to Grass Valley and
wait for us, south of the city.

That's right, Captain.

Why did not you tell us,
Who was he when he joined us?

I saw no reason, to say.

I thought there might be problems
and decided to lend a hand.

Oh, I know. So you expected trouble.

Well, when pursuing outlaws,
problems can always be expected.

Are you in the service of the Government?

Not me...

I organized these men,
for a personal reason.

Oh, I'm sorry, John.
I did not want to look curious.

Oh okay.

There's nothing, who can not know.

In fact, I would like it
You knew all about me.

For 12 years I lived with one idea in mind:

Catch the men, who stole it,
They killed my parents...

and my little brother.

If they are alive, I have to find them.

Come on, boys!

Dad, you're hurt!

It's just a little shoulder scratch.

But if it had not been for Jim,
they would have gotten me for sure.

Oh, I did the best I could.

These Rangers Knights really
took care of everything.

I'm sorry, Jim.

I think I was wrong about you.

It's ok. We all messed up.

I was wrong too about you.

It's fortunate that John's men,
arrived in time to save us.

Do you know who assaulted us?
All are well watched.

I told Carter to take the cattle,
the Grass Valley for you,

and I believe we will do You'd
better take the doctor.

Well, friends, with your
Excuse me, I'm going.

It's only 20 miles up, Grass Valley,

and I would like to arrive,
as soon as possible there.

It's okay, son.

I want to thank you,
for the help he gave us.

You can take the horse, that I was using.

When you arrive, the Grass Valley,

leave him in the rental stable
and we'll pick it up there.

Well, friends, I'll see you later.

I told you to be careful,
with these Ranger Knights.

But you did not listen to me.
He was very sure of himself.

No, it was not me.
They outnumbered us 5 to 1.

You could not have done better.

They took all the boys, except you and Red.

How did he escape?

Simple left, he said.

Well, one thing I say.
You can not do anything,

with these Rangers Knights
walking around here.

They sure did, our work.

"DOCTOR" Philip L. Martin

Oh, forget it.

You can not trade for money,
What you did not bring.

Now listen to this.

There are about $ 60,000
in gold in the Commercial Bank.

They brought in last night
of the Big Creek mine.

I was waiting for you

and the boys returned, to start work,

but I had to bring Dugan
and his to give us a hand.

Well, the best thing to do is stay
quiet quickly and clearly.

While the Ranger Knights
be on this path.

"DOCTOR" Philip L. Martin

While the doctor attends his father,
I'm going to take a walk down the street.

There are some things I want to see.
We wait for you here.

"HOTEL AND BAR"

You, you know, if Ballard is this way?

No he is not.

He makes a visit Sometimes.

Thank you.

Ed.

In between.

What is it, Hank?

There's a guy down there. asking for you.

Yes? Who is it?

His name is Wyatt.

Wyatt? You remember, Ballard.

What you mean?
Oh, nothing more.

Only when I was,
with the flock of Cummings,

was Wyatt and his Ranger Knights,
the ones that made us in pieces.

They were looking for him then.
Looks like it came after you.

Now it's here.

Jim, Hank said the guy from
the Ranger Knights is down there.

Where is it? At the bar.

All right, let's go.

He looks like me!

Yes, he is.

Lucky that I did not go down.
He thinks I'm your friend.

Wait a minute, mate.

Did not you forget something?
What do you mean?

Our agreement was, which was
to go from Grass Valley.

In addition to being a thief,
You're a liar.

Listen, Hank. Get down and get this guy

anyway. But get it!

Do not shoot, Jim.
There are many men in town.

In addition, one of our men.

Wow, it's like a wild cat!
Look how it escapes!

It's here, Ballard! Knock the door!

Through the window! Take before,

to warn your men. Let's go!

That was it!

"DOCTOR" Philip L. Martin

One moment, boys.

Did you see John? Yes.

Ah...

It's up there. They struck him in a fight.

Injured? I'll take you to him.

Ah...

What do you want to do?
Who is the girl?

Just a moment. She's Gordon's daughter.

I have an idea.

What has to do, The girl with this?

We will never stop Allen,
if you bring your men here.

But with her here, we can. I will show you.

Come on, boys!

This ticket will keep away,
the knights of Allen

and will bring you directly, to our hands.

Send some of the boys, to Blind Canyon.

When they do, tell them to return.

We will meet, at the Wild Horse Curral.

Have the rest of the boys ready,

to clean the seat so, that I would go back.

Get ready the rest of the pack,
of Dugan and the fast cart.

Come on.

Fast. Get the wagon.

Well, boys. Mount.

You're very clever, Ballard. Let him play

without seeing that it is, in your hands.

I understand. Brother, against brother.

Forget the theme of the brother.
You do not know any of this, right?

Get out and bring the boys.
We leave immediately.

What happens to Jim? Well,
Jim will serve your purpose.

When he finds out that he is his
brother, it will be a shame

The Rangers, they'll
take care of it anyway.

In addition, it will be one less,
in the division of gold.

Now, go on.

Your men are ready, to cover the city.

I came to tell you, Allen.
Ballard's band took Mary.

He sent this note.

"Allen...

I have Gordon's girl,
I have a proposal to make you "

"Leave your men and come alone to Blind

Canyon if you want to have it back"

Ballard

Carter...

I'll go alone. Keep the men here.

If I did not return in half
an hour, come after me.

Hey, what are you going to do now?

Ah! It was Ballard's pack,

robbed the bank and took all the gold.

We should hang them all.

Sent someone, to the mine to ask for help?

I'll go there now I'll go with you.

Let's Stay Together and let's all go!

Where is Ballard? I do not know.

Are gone. How could you have cheated?
and betrayed his own brother?

What you mean?
I know, John Allen is your brother.

John Allen, are you my brother? Yes.

His real name is John Wyatt
and yours is Jim Wyatt.

I heard Ballard saying,
to the Red while it was stuck.

John has been looking for you since,
who destroyed his family.

You have to go help him.

"WELLS FARGO EXPRESS COMPANY"

Careful, John!

They caught John in the Blind Canyon.
Let's go.

Thank you, Jim. Where is Mary?

You're safe. He went to warn his men.

What you mean?

I put you, in a trap John.

I got you and I will take
you away, because...

you are my brother. Your brother?

Yes. Mary told me all this.

He listened to the conversation,
between Ballard and the Red.

Ballard wanted you dead,
so I would never know.

Jim.

Let's go back de Ballard, Jim.

Your horses are behind us.
I will hold them while you escape.

This is your chance.
And what will it be, yours?

Oh, I do not care.
Let's go together, boy.

The one in the wagon, it's Ballard.

Hyah, hyah, hyah!

Jim!

Did you get the Ballard, John?

Everything is in its place.

Ah...

I think i will not go Get it, John.

He will not be against me, eh?

No, Jim.

It is funny.

I always wanted to be, an evil man,

since we were children.

Remember?

I...

I think I have, what I deserve.

Oh, my brother ...

About the prairies.

Home?

A wagon.

Turning to the West?

I'm leaving tomorrow.
After dissolving the group.

Where you go?

I go back to my ranch, in California.

I'll be very lonely out of here.

Do you think you could
ever take care of, um...

Tufted like you?
You guessed it, you bastard.

A wagon.

Running.

To the West.
