Seems like we've gone awful far.

What if we can't find her?

Well, the telegram says, wait till I get it out here, 50 miles south Trinidad,

good night, love and trail.

Kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack. Well, this is the good night

trail. She's on it. We'll find her.

We've already gone more than 50 miles past Trinidad.

I'll ride ahead. Look for her.

I wonder what she's stick with.

I don't know. The telegram says, down with fever, send help.

I told her not to drive those cattle all the way from Mexico, but you know my

sister. Well, when she gets something in her mind, there's no stopping her. I

hope she's all right.

Michelle is strong. Don't worry.

She's over here!

Over here!

She's here!

You stay here.

Here they are.

Thank you.

Lato! Looking for Miss Olive Davis.

These her cattle?

Yes, senor.

Where's Miss Olive? Olive!

She's not here.

Well, where is she?

Miss Olive.

Very, very sick.

We know that.

Dr. Mike, maybe you'd better take a look at her. No, senor.

You do not understand.

She passed on.

She got spotted fever.

She fought hard.

There's nothing we could do.

When did Miss Olive die?

We buried her two days ago.

Paco. I'm Matthew.

Matthew Cooper?

Matthew. You are a man now.

Oh, Miss Olive, she would be proud.

You are her godson.

I always said that you were the best foreman in all Mexico.

14 years.

I have something.

Something she write for you.

Before she died.

Lauren.

I think you better see her.

I don't care what it says.

It's her will.

That's her handwriting, all right.

Aye, all of Davis.

Being a sound mind, but failing body.

Do you hear what I tell you, my last wishes?

First, I want to be buried right here on the trail.

Lauren, don't go digging me up and dragging me.

Dragging me all over creation.

I leave my ranch in Mexico to Paco Romero.

He's earned it.

My ranch in Colorado and my interest in the general store, I leave to my

brother, Lauren Gray.

Try not to run the business into the ground.

Matthew, you're the closest thing I've got to a son.

I want you to have my herd of cattle.

It's a start for you.

See what you can make of it.

Brian and Colleen, I have some money put away for your education.

Lauren will see to it.

Brian, you take my silver trim saddle and...

Colleen, you take my gold pocket watch.

Grace, my interest in the cafe goes to you.

It's all yours now.

And Dr. Mike, I want you to have my brooch.

My mother wore it, and her mother before her.

It carries a lot of womenfolk's wisdom and love.

I'll have David.

Olive, thank you for all your care and generosity to all of us.

We're going to miss you very much.

Does anyone else want to speak?

Here's Olive.

You were the first friend I had after I became a free woman.

I wouldn't be where I am now if not for you.

Miss Hollis.

Thanks for giving me your cattle.

I'll take good care of them.

Just like you taught me.

I feel bad about getting in this way, though.

I'd rather you were still here.

Amen. Amen.

Mr.

Bray?

Why don't you play a song for Miss Olive?

She... She never liked that turn on, Monica.

Yes, she did.

She loved it.

I don't feel like it.

Why don't we all come and eat? Miss Olive sure liked people having a good

I brought some of her favorite things.

Amen.

Amen.

What should I say to Mr. Brain?

You don't have to say anything to him.

Spend some time with him.

Alright,

I'm gonna call.

Would you like some supper?

Thank you, Carmen.

Smells mighty good.

Hey there.

I'm Jesse.

Hey there.

You're Colleen.

Potatoes and gravy?

Thank you. I love potatoes.

But I expect that most anything was cooked by you.

I didn't cook this. I'm just helping Grace.

Have you eaten yet?

No. Then time you did.

I can wait. No, ma 'am.

I wouldn't think of eating before you.

And I'd be honored to sit with you.

That isn't unless somebody else asks first.

They are fine cows.

You will do well with them.

I hope so.

It changes everything for me.

You're going to help us move into Colorado Springs?

I'm sorry, but I must go back to Mexico tomorrow.

Didn't Miss Olive hire you for the whole trip?

Before she dies, she said to me, go back to the ranch. There's much work to do.

Then how are we going to drive the herd home?

This is difficult.

I will buy them from you. I will give you $8 a head.

I heard they're worth $40 in Chicago.

Si, senor.

But we are far from Chicago.

And here, they are worth only $8.

Enough for sale.

Matthew, what are we going to do? You just lost your trail boss.

Well, then it's up to me. And I'll help you.

Me too.

But none of you have ever herded cattle.

I've worked with them plenty on the ranch. And I know a lot about stock.

Phil, don't you think we need someone with trail experience?

You boys want to stay on for the trip to Colorado Springs?

Can't pay you cash, but I can give you each two head of steer.

Is that where you're heading us, Colleen?

Then I'm in.

They're in, too.

Good.

I guess I'll help you two.

And so will I.

You don't know anything about it.

Well, neither do you.

Ah, how hard can it be?

When you lose, swing it higher.

Of course.

Matthew. It's all right, Brian.

Come on in here.

That's it.

Blitz, you want to come up on it nice and gentle. You got to be careful. You

don't spook him.

What makes him spook?

Could be anything.

A coyote howling, a tin can rattling.

A cattle would rather run than eat.

The trick is we're going to want to move him along nice and gentle.

That way, once we get them home, they'll be fat and healthy.

Also, to keep them calm, especially at night, I want to sing to them.

Sing? Sing what?

Sing.

No.

Get around!

I'm gonna scout.

Jesse, Robert E., you ride point.

Dr. Mike and Brian, you take flank.

Sully, you too.

Ride drag.

Why don't I scout?

Need someone I can trust back there.

But I know the trail. I know where there's water. And I know cattle.

We should work together, then.

Sir,

there's only one trail by.

My cattle, and I'm scouting.

I'm gonna lose those cattle.

With a once -in -a -lifetime chance.

It is his lifetime.

Time to go now.

Colleen, I got a real pretty mare if you'd like to ride with me.

I'm not much of a rider.

I'll teach you.

In a few days, you'll be riding like you was born in the saddle.

You're gonna love it.

Can I?

I don't think so.

Oh, I'd take good care of you.

Thank you, but I'd like you to ride in the wagon.

Try to keep this elevated as much as you can, and I'll check on it later.

Lauren, something I can do for you?

No, but one of the drivers, a Mexican fella, he don't speak English too good.

He's got a couple of blisters.

On his feet?

No, not there.

Hands?

No.

Well, he might, but they ain't bothering him.

Well, would you like me to check on it?

No, he don't even know I'm talking to you.

See? It's in kind of a delicate place.

And he told you this in Spanish?

He got the idea across.

Well, why don't you have him rub this salve in and... Rub?

Well, have him put it on gently and protect it with this.

Thanks, I'll tell him.

Dr. Mike?

How are you doing, Robert -y?

Just fine.

Of course, some of these fellas who don't generally ride that much, they're

getting a little sore.

Saddle sore?

No, uh, uh, I mean, yeah, uh, but they don't want to make no fun.

Well, why don't you have them put this ointment on?

Thanks.

I'll pass it on.

Dr.. Mike some of this off.

Thank you What

am

I doing wrong with spray?

I don't know

Let me show you.

Look.

Keep your arm out straight.

All right, now, don't bend your elbow.

All right, now, keep your eye on the target.

Let her go.

There you go.

That was great.

Thanks, Mr. Bray.

Now let's go eat.

I ain't hungry.

I can ride the wildest bronco in the wild and woolly wet.

I can rake him, I can break him, let him do his level best.

I can handle any cattle that ever wore a coat of hair.

And I've had a lively tussle with a big old grizzly bear.

I don't trust that young man.

Why is that?

He doesn't seem sincere.

Kind of sweet to me.

Too sweet.

He reminds me of Colleen's father.

Well, you better be nice to him, because if you let on you don't like him,

you'll want him all the more.

Can I have some more, please?

Jessie just needs some more.

I don't think you should spend so much time with that young man.

Why not?

You don't know where he's from.

Texas.

He just might not be who he seems to be.

What are you talking about?

I just don't want you to be hurt, that's all.

He acts kind of rough, but he's got the kindest spirit.

Just be careful.

Sully, good morning.

I figure we'll head through the gorge and down to the waterhole by Sandy Flat.

We should make it there by midday tomorrow.

Have you scouted it?

No.

It's on the map.

I never feel sure about water till I see it.

Hundreds of cattle drivers have used this map, Sully.

Wait, we came down by Battle Rock?

We know there's water there.

Yeah.

The grass ain't as good that way.

We're going to Sandy Flats.

Same position as yesterday!

I wouldn't look, ma 'am. It ain't nothing for a lady to see.

I've seen far worse than this.

He hasn't been dead long.

Say, perhaps today.

Patchy.

What do you think happened?

See any tracks over there?

Cowboys are probably rounding up strays.

Camp's here overnight.

Join the herd later.

We've been hearing all along the trail.

Patchy's attacking herds up here.

Get some shovels.

If we stay around here too long, we could end up like those cowboys.

We're gonna give them a proper burial.

What's the trail boss say?

Get the shovels.

James, if Black's all right, nothing but sand here.

But where's the water? Trail, boss.

I don't understand. It should be right here.

The map says there's water here year -round.

Looks like things changed since they made that map.

Here's the next chance for water.

How are you, Black?

Two days away.

And how do we know there'll be water there?

I've seen it.

Think the cow can make it?

Got no choice.

Kelly?

I knew there wasn't going to be any water there.

How?

The rainfall and the snowpack last year.

Well, all the signs are saying it loud and clear.

After so many years, you get a sense.

Well, I'm afraid there's only one way that Matthew's gonna acquire that sense.

I don't like standing around, watching him make mistakes.

Now everyone's suffering.

You think there's danger of an Indian attack?

Not really.

Those cowboys we found might have started something. We'll never really

what happened there.

Jesse said the Apache were on the warpath.

We don't know that for sure. Jesse likes to talk.

I wish he wasn't on this drive.

You think you can persuade him to leave?

Why would I do that?

Well, what do you think of him?

I think he's young and cocksure and nobody can tell him what to do.

But he can ride and he can handle cattle.

Is that all that matters?

We need every hen we got right now.

Kelly, don't you see... Just leave him be.

We need him.

Dry, dry.

We're going to keep on moving around the clock.

Grace will have plenty of coffee ready for you when you need it. And we only

have a little bit of water left, so we're going to have to ration it.

Fill up your canteens one quarter full, but that's it.

When we get to Paiute Flat, there'll be plenty to drink, plenty of time to rest.

If we get there.

Don't worry, Matthew. We'll make it.

Why don't you give me a hand? We're going to get a fire going.

When you eat fast, you get moving.

We'll use prairie coal.

They're dry.

They burn faster.

Why don't you grab that one?

Dr. Mike, help!

Dr. Mike, help!

Ryan? Help!

What happened?

Scorpion stung him.

Lay him down.

Put this blanket over him. I'll get my bag.

Don't touch it. Just let me take a look.

It's swelling up.

He's going into shock.

Let's keep him warm.

Get me some dirt and water.

Make a paste and pat his finger to stop the swelling.

I'll get the water.

It's going to be all right.

Halloween.

Dr. Mike?

He's going to be all right, isn't he?

Hope he bites down fatal.

Would it be all right if I rode with him for a while?

Sure, I'll switch with you.

What are you doing?

We need to stop and let him rest.

You can't do that.

These cattle will get the water soon.

They're going to go blind and crazy. Yeah, he's right. We won't be able to

control them.

Are the cattle more important than your brother?

Of course not.

He's saying we've got to stop him. He ain't going to make it.

No, but it's very uncomfortable.

Sorry, Brian.

You've got to keep going.

Take it easy.

You don't touch no one unless you want to fight.

The first law on the trail.

Put that away.

I said put that away.

Now.

You may be the boss.

You don't know nothing.

Reminds me for a while.

I'll try.

Hi,

Mr. Bray.

about Miss Olive?

No.

I'm sorry.

It's always in heaven.

Tell you the truth, boy.

You I'm a little worried about.

You hold on there now, you hear me?

I never got around to telling Miss Olive.

Sure as heck I'm going to tell you.

I love you boy.

Why are you flat?

Please let there be water.

I told

you

we'd make it.

Let's get down there and set up camp. I'll get some sleep.

We better go back. We've been gone quite a while.

Awful pretty.

But it's worth a pretty penny, too.

I don't care about that.

It was Miss Olive, so it keeps her close to me.

Connie, I never knew nobody like you before.

You're so kind and beautiful and smart.

I've been thinking.

When we get done with this drive, I want to take my two cows and start a herd.

By the time you're ready to marry, we'll... We'll have the beginnings of a

beautiful spread.

But I want to go to medical school.

Well, I'll wait for you.

I'll wait for you till the end of time.

You'll be sweet now.

We gotta turn him.

Next week.

We've been robbed.

You're cattle thieves.

I have the right to shoot you.

As the danger mounts.

He's got other people's lives in his hands here.

It's part of finding your way.

Hard lessons will be learned.

We should just leave the cattle and go home.

You haven't botched it. You brought us all here.

But has he learned enough to get through the greatest challenge of all?

Very far.

We've got to push the cattle right through to the other side.

If we stay here, we'll burn for sure.

Don't miss the conclusion next Saturday.
