Dear Nathan, I hope this letter finds you well.

It's been three months since I've heard from you.

Do you think of me?

I hope the herd was easier this year

and that you travel back home safely.

Your loving wife, Jessie.

I got a friend who's got a hell of a spread up in Jackson.

He needs to gather his herd before he drives

‘em. You should come up there with me.

What'll it be?

Two whiskies. - Yes, sir.

What about your wife?

Yeah.

She can manage just fine.

I'll get back to her eventually.

Hey, cowboy.

Well look at you, darling. Ain't you a sight for sore eyes?

Where you been all my life?

Right here, sugar.

Hey, hey.

I got a friend over there

who'd like you.

He's a little shy.

Darling, why don't you go over to that poker table

and save me a seat and I'll fetch us a bottle.

Sure thing, sugar.

Do me a favor.

Hold this for me.

What's this?

$640.

And an heirloom that means a lot to me.

So keep your eye on it.

You're a good man, Chase.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why you don't know that yet.

Tender, give me a bottle.

Yeah. - Come on, son, live a little bit.

Yeah, deal me in, boys.

Come in sweetheart.

Here you go darling. - Thank you.

Another bottle.

I'm gonna send you boys home in a pine box.

Look at you, yeah.

You're in trouble.

Hey, honey...

you want some company?

Hello?

Who's there?

Name's Chase Logan.

Rode with Nathan at the Bar T. I got a message for Mrs. Strong.

Think you can put that gun down and open the door, ma'am? I don't mean no harm.

I'm a friend of Nathan's.

You're Mrs. Strong?

Well, that's who you asked for, ain't it? - Yes, ma'am, I just-

Well, I expected someone a bit more... - Mature?

Yeah, something like that.

Will a cup of hot coffee warm your insides?

Yes, ma'am. Thank you kindly.

Have a seat, Mr. Logan.

No, thank you, ma'am, I'm just... just here to deliver a message.

What's the message?

What's the message, Mr. Logan?

Well, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, surely I am, but...

...Nathan's dead.

Let me...

Let me get this from you.

There you go.

Why don't you take a seat?

What happened was...

When Nathan had the night watch...

and it was real stormy, and cattle were edgy

from all the thunder and lightning, and...

well, no one knows what happened exactly, but...

...when Nathan was dead, we found him in the mornin'.

Seems he died real peaceful though.

All right, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Come on now...

these things have a way to sort themselves out.

What's your given name, Mrs. Strong?

Jessie.

My name's Jessie. - Jessie, well...

that's a real pretty name.

Why don't you come back over here and take a

seat? You know, I've dealt you one healthy shock.

Let me get you a cup of coffee.

There you go. - Thank you.

You have a friend or family nearby I could fetch for you?

I can take care of myself, Mr. Logan.

Just gotta get used to the idea that

Nathan won't be comin' home anymore.

It's already dark and...

Cody, my horse, he's plumb wore out.

Think we could...

bed down in your lean-to for the night?

Nathan was gonna fix it,

but you're welcome to it if you like.

I'm sure it will be just fine, thank you.

Cold in hell before I volunteer for that again.

See that?

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare ya.

Couldn't sleep.

I needed a little air, too.

Shootin' star.

Sometimes I pretend all those stars are angels watchin' over me.

Must be a million of ‘em.

Yeah.

Do you suppose there are that many angels in heaven, Mr. Logan?

Don't believe much in heaven.

Or hell.

Do you believe in God?

I just put my faith in what meets my eyes.

Seems the wind's the sole exception.

Yet I do spy its course in the trees when it blows.

What do you think happens when we die?

Dust to dust...

as they say.

Well, that's a sad thought.

Good night, Mr. Logan.

Good night.

Mrs. Strong?

Mrs. Strong? - Yes.

Mr. Logan.

I'm heading through town on the way up north. Wanted to

know if I could deliver a message to anyone for you.

No one.

If you could get a fire goin'...

I'll make us a cup of coffee.

Where you from, Mr. Logan?

Nowhere in particular.

Never knew my folks, and...

heck, I don't even know where I was born.

Tried settling down once, even...

bought a small spread, but...

ranching life just lost its appeal.

So I started riding with different outfits.

You?

Oklahoma Territory.

Grew up in an orphanage.

It was horrible, mostly.

Except for Mr. Hobbs, who ran the place.

When Nathan married me after a long time...

he promised I could eventually adopt the little girl from the orphanage,

where I grew up.

They're bringing her out right now.

But surely they won't let me keep her if...

once they find out Nathan's dead, will they?

I don't know much about adoption rules and such, but I'd imagine if you...

you told ‘em the truth...

they'd understand.

Well, maybe.

Maybe not.

I was wonderin' if you could see your way to pretending to be Nathan.

Just until Sarah's papers are signed.

Nah, I don't play false like that, even for a friend.

Please, Mr. Logan.

She's the only one from the orphanage I consider family.

Well, if you did this...

I'd never have to be alone.

I'm sorry, missus...

Miss Strong.

Can I get you anything else?

No, thank you, ma'am.

I truly am sorry about what happened to Nathan.

Hello, the house! Anybody home?

My stars.

It's them.

Mr. Hobbs, you made it.

Hey! - Safe and sound.

Sarah!

I don't understand.

We got along so well on our last visit.

Well, she'll eventually get used to you.

You know, before we left, Mrs. Hobbs locked her in the cellar.

She's been through a lot, Jessie, just give her some time.

Gabe.

This here is Gabe Garrison.

Only been with us a short time. - Howdy, ma'am.

Welcome. -Yeah.

Asked Gabe to ride with me.

Having an extra pair of hands and eyes on the trail don't hurt none.

Well, it is good to finally meet Nathan Strong.

Well...

I've heard good things.

I'll show you your bed.

Well, you know, any good friend of Jessie's is a...

friend of mine.

You are home, Sarah.

You wanna try your bed? - Nothin' to worry.

Don't worry about nothin'.

I'm headin' out.

Don't wait for supper.

Wait!

Go ahead. We'll be okay.

Now you don't have to share a bed.

Please!

Mr. Logan, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for that to happen. Honest.

I can't bear the thought...

of Sarah going back to that terrible place.

Good luck, Jessie.

Please, don't go. You're him.

Yeah, who's that? - My guardian angel.

I just know it.

Not hardly.

Sarah, honey.

Don't you remember me?

She's just shy, Jessie.

How long's Mr. Strong gonna be gone?

I'm not sure.

What are your plans?

I wish we could stay and visit for a few days, but we gotta get back.

We'll pull out first thing in the mornin'.

That's a shame.

Evening, sweetheart.

You're back?

Of course I'm back. Where else would I go?

Evening, Mr. Hobbs.

He's asleep.

It's just that you're back so soon.

Did you miss me?

Looks like I surprised my little wife speechless.

I'll get your supper.

Thanks, darlin'.

Thank you.

Gabe will be sleeping right here next to you.

Nothin' to worry about.

Isn't that right, Gabe? - You betcha.

You got your dolly right there.

Just hope she don't keep me up all night with her snorin'.

Good night.

Thank you, darlin'.

You know, I've got a powerful hitch in my shoulder.

And?

And I need you to rub it, darling.

What are you up to? - Hey, don't get all riled.

A husband's got a right to ask his wife for a little rub.

Fine.

Can't feel nothin'.

Yeah.

That's the stuff.

Wha... Don't stop now. It's just getting good.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Nothing, Mr. Hobbs. Go back to sleep.

Fine.

Somethin' wrong? - No.

Just gonna freshen up your coffee. It might be cold now.

There you are.

Take your time.

I'll just be getting ready for bed.

Come on, now.

Good boy.

Straddle me.

What?

Straddle my leg, girl.

Yeah, there you go. Just like...

that!

See if I help you with the next one, you big galoot.

Can I help you?

Think you' done enough.

I didn't know what else to do.

Laudnum?

Mr. Hobbs and Gabe will be leaving shortly.

If you can put up with the pretense just for a few more

minutes, and I'll make you the best breakfast you've ever had.

All right.

I'll do it.

Thank you.

Good mornin', Mr. Strong!

Morning. - Well, I guess it's about that time.

Gabe, can you take that last bag out to the wagon, please?

Yes, sir.

I just gotta ask you...

if you'd be at all open to adopting Gabriel...

along with Sarah?

I don't mean to force you two into a quick decision,

but we're desperately overcrowded at the orphanage, and

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to turn him out when we get back.

Gabe's little sister...

died in the cholera, along with his folks.

He really wants to be part of a family.

He won't be any trouble, I promise.

In fact, he'll be quite a help around here, as you can see.

All loaded up, Mr. Hobbs.

Boy stays.

We'd be proud to have you a part of our family.

You won't regret it, ma'am.

I will if you keep calling me ma'am. - No, ma'am.

Well, I think this is about settled.

Almost forgot.

The adoption papers.

Yes, the papers.

Yeah.

Here.

Your turn.

Bye!

I'm goin' huntin'.

Huntin'? Now?

Yep.

You're leaving, aren't you?

Nope. Not yet.

Well, I don't blame you for leavin' after what just happened.

Those kids need more to eat than just beans and

cornbread, especially that young boy you just adopted.

Now, there's work that needs to be done around this place before I leave.

It'll take me a week or so, but I'll get it into shape.

Gabe will be able to handle things from there.

So that's why you agreed to adopt him?

He'll do you right.

Well, I appreciate everything you've done for us, Mr. Logan.

Yeah, well, it ain't the first time I had to fix up one of Nathan's messes.

Well, it was real smart of you to sign that X.

Yeah, smart.

There we go. Now we can get him fast, fast, fast.

I need to get some water for the washing.

Let me get it for you. - You stay put. I need the air.

You worried about him?

Does it show that much?

Kinda.

I'll be back soon.

What's wrong?

Chase's horse, down by the creek.

Who's that? - I mean, Nathan's horse,

an Indian. He rode in on it.

Where did you get that? - It's my Pa's.

Where do you think you're goin'? - Get the horse.

Find Nathan.

It might be dangerous.

Nathan ain't the only man in the house. My Pa told me how to track,

and I can shoot the eye out of a mouse 100 yards with this thing.

Don't worry.

I'll find him.

Nathan.

He's bleeding to death. - Don't worry.

He's been shot, but the bullet just grazed his head.

Let's get him into the bedroom. - All right.

Nathan shot a deer. I gutted him already, but I

need to go fetch him back before the coyotes do.

There's no way you're bringin' a deer back before nightfall.

I can do it. I'll be fine. Honest.

Gabe.

I'm glad you're part of this family.

It's okay, sweetie.

It's okay.

What did you say?

Molly!

It's okay.

Go back to sleep.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I can't believe it.

Lord Almighty! You are a sight for sore eyes, child.

What's it been? Two months since you stopped by.

Good to see you, too.

You got a list for me? - I sure do.

Okay.

It's kind of short, ain't it?

It'll have to do for now.

Okay.

I'm gonna get this together, and then we'll have a good long conversation.

Okay.

Howdy.

You lookin' mighty fine today, Miss Jessie.

Lonnie ain't good enough for you?

Move out of my way. - I ain't in your way.

In your presence.

Get off me. - Nothin' a little kiss can't fix.

Get off me.

Get off me!

Get your filthy paws off her!

Get out of my store, you... You varmint!

You stupid! - Garth! Garth Shepard, come quick!

And bring your gun!

Get out of here.

Jessie, are you okay?

What's wrong? - Are you okay?

It was Lonnie.

Thank you for the ride, Mr. Shepard.

I should stay a while.

In case that drifter comes snoopin' around.

I'm worried he's gonna come back and hurt Mrs. Hollyhock, and rob her blind.

You should get back.

Well, you're all alone out here. I should stay a while.

I'm not alone.

God has guardian angels.

...over the sparrow, whether he rises or falls.

Amen.

Amen. - Amen.

Dig in, everyone.

How do you know it wasn't a ricochet?

‘Cause a ricochet bullet doesn't reach into a man's bag and snatch everything out.

What? - Everything I had in there. Stolen.

Did you lose anything valuable? - Yeah, I had a roll of...

...some things.

I guess that's why they didn't take away my guns.

She's really tuckered out.

Yeah, well, she wore herself out taking care of me the past two days.

She got a lot on her mind, too.

I kinda dragged out myself.

Night. - Night.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

Aren't you supposed to be in bed with Mrs. Strong?

Are you kissing me? - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

It's not what you think. It's been a while since I've...

laid next to a woman in bed. - You got some nerve, you know that?

You just reminded me of someone.

I'm not some hussy, Mr. Logan.

I'm sorry.

I'll sleep right here.

Won't happened again.

Did you love her?

Who?

The woman you thought you were kissing.

Did you love her?

Yeah.

Well, that must have been nice.

What's gotten in to you, Jessie Strong?

I smell coffee?

Yes, sir.

Did you make it?

Well, it wasn't Sarah, that's for sure. - Morning, Daddy.

Morning.

Hey, you all right tendin' to the place for a bit?

Sure.

I've arranged some supplies to be delivered today, and...

after that, I'm heading out.

For how long?

You know, I think you're man enough to hear this, so...

you know, I'm just gonna get to it.

Did I do something wrong?

I wanna be a part of this family. - You are, all right? You're a good kid.

I'm not Nathan Strong.

All right, I've been pretending to help-

You ain't married to Mrs. Strong, and you... you slept with her?

It ain't like that, son.

Nathan got himself killed by a man cheatin' at cards.

What's goin' on here?

I wish I knew!

Gabe! - Let him be.

He'll sort it out.

So Nathan got himself killed playing cards?

Yes, ma'am.

I just didn't know how to tell you.

Honestly, that sounds more like Nathan.

Yeah.

I suppose it does.

My sweet child.

You're as white as a sheet.

I bet you've not had a bite to eat all day.

Let's have you lie down before you fall over.

Come on, now. - I'm fine.

It's just my time of the month is all.

Make you nice and comfy there.

All right?

It must have been an awful shock to hear about your man.

I'll be back before you have a chance to miss me.

You're a miracle worker, Mrs. Hollyhock.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

Well, that tea did the trick.

She'll be asleep till morning, for sure.

Y'all enjoying the stew?

It's better than fine, ma'am. - Good.

Well, there's plenty more.

What are your plans, Mr. Logan?

Got a family to rush off to, I imagine.

No, no family. Just...

me and my horse.

Are you and your horse ridin' out tonight?

You can't stay here, of course.

Well, you know, truth be told, I- - Because even if you're interested...

I've got a room to let above my mercantile.

You remind me of my son.

So it's yours, if you're interested...

for a day or two, or however long you need it.

Well, that'll give that bullet wound of yours a

couple more days to heal before you hit the trail.

You were shot, Mr. Logan.

Just grazed.

I'm fine.

Well, for a while, we weren't sure if he'd pull through, but...

Mrs. Strong did a fine job tendin' to him.

He was just about as helpless as a frozen snake lyin' in her bed.

Well, shortly after I arrived, I was out hunting', and yeah...

somebody shot me.

Gabe here tracked me down, brought me back to the cabin, and...

well, Mrs. Strong tended to me until I healed up.

You know the rest of the story.

When did you say you arrived here, Mr. Logan?

I didn't.

Come on, let's... let's go read.

My, my, my.

Just what exactly did you plan to do,

Mr. Logan, after you tasted that piece of pie?

Not caring what was gonna happen to Jessie?

Leaving her with two mouths to feed-

Now, you hold on just a minute! - You should be ashamed of yourself

cozying up to her, playing off of her sympathy.

That is not the way it happened at all. - Her being a married woman!

She ain't married no more.

What chances does she have finding a decent husband after folks

find out, she's been living out here with the likes of you?

Likes of me? - You know...

what kind of a life a girl like that has when she's ruint!

You've seen ‘em...

entertaining upstairs from the saloon.

I reckon you know those types of girls real well, Mr. Logan.

Jessie deserves better than that, and them young'uns, too.

So you, you saddle up and you get on out of here!

Not until I speak to Jessie.

You are not wakin' her up tonight.

Gather up your gear, and you head out to that barn,

and you sleep with the animals where you should be.

I was assuming you'd be gone by now.

But, since you ain't...

here.

I'll be here in the morning, too.

I ain't one to mince words, Mr. Logan.

I'm hoping you do the honorable thing and marry the girl.

Her destiny is in your hands.

Them young'uns, too.

Well, I'll talk to Jessie in the mornin'.

See that you do.

Gabe's runnin' to town to fetch the preacher...

first thing in the morning.

Sleep well, Mr. Logan.

Some guardian angel.

Jessie, I need to talk to you about somethin'.

What's wrong?

I know Mr. Logan has been staying here for quite some time.

And that you helped nurse him back to health after he got shot.

Yes, that's true.

And Gabe tells me that he hasn't spent every night in the barn neither.

It's not what you think.

I only have your best interests at heart...

when I tell you if this gets out...

which it will, what, with your husband being gone...

no chaperone...

you'll be ruined for sure.

Well, he needed my help.

It was the Christian thing to do.

Well, maybe so, but you are in a pickle and there is only one way out.

If what you're thinkin'-

I've already sent Gabe to fetch the preacher.

You can't force me to marry him! - Calm down!

I am sure once you consider the circumstances...

you'll see that this is for the best. - But I don't even like him.

He's moody, and bossy, and stubborn as an old mule.

My sweet child, this is your choice.

Marry Mr. Logan and keep your children.

The folks in this town won't let you keep that girl. Neither will a district judge.

That little girl is goin' to be branded for the rest of her life, just like you.

I'd like to speak to Jessie.

Alone.

Be my guest.

I'll be outside...

with my scatter gun.

You were so good to come back and help me.

I can't let you do this.

Look, I know you don't wanna get roped into this thing any more than I do.

But I don't wanna see you lose Sarah.

And even more...

I don't want Sarah to lose you.

But you're not the settling down type. You told me yourself.

Never mind what I told you.

We'll get married today.

And after making you a respectable woman...

I'll write off to work and...

well, the same thing that happened to Nathan can happen to me.

That's a horrible idea.

Yeah, well, there are other ideas more horrible than this one.

I'll do it.

For Sarah's sake. And Gabe's, too.

Good.

I was worried you wouldn't see the sense of it all.

But a wedding vow is sacred.

And if I say the words, I'll mean it.

And I'll do my best to love you as my husband...

until death do us part.

And how you treat the words is between you and the Lord.

Well, that settles it, then.

Best get ready for your wedding.

Good times and in bad, in sickness and in health...

till death do you part?

I do.

Do you, Chase, Take this woman, Jessie,

to be your lawfully wedded wife,

in sickness and in health,

until death do you part?

I do.

In the eyes of God, I pronounce you husband and wife.

You may now kiss your bride, Mr. Logan.

Folks, you have to forgive me, but I gotta get a move on.

You got more people to marry today?

I'm afraid not.

There was a girl murdered up near Clancy just a week ago.

Lord have mercy. - 13 years old.

Dear. - She's already buried,

but the family wants to have a proper memorial.

Of course.

Step up.

You must be starvin'.

I wanna fix you a nice supper.

That'd be fine.

Think I'll take Cody for a run, clear my head.

Everything's ready. Take a seat.

How's your head?

What's the rush?

I just wanna get you fed and this mess cleaned up.

It's been a long day.

About the longest day of my life, and it ain't yet half over.

You know, someone with a lick of sense wouldn't have

gotten themselves roped into this stupid situation.

Stupid situation's right.

I just figured you smarter than that.

Guess I was wrong.

Now I see why Nathan was working halfway across the territory.

Couldn't stand your sassy mouth.

You know, maybe if you weren't getting on his every nerve,

he'd been home where he belonged, and he'd still be alive!

Geez. Well, let me see.

Come on, let me see.

All right, let's go get this cooled down. Come on, come here. There you go.

Let me take a look.

That's not too bad.

I'm sorry I got you into this stupid mess.

No, I'm...

I'm really sorry for what I said.

Thank you.

You know, sleepin' out in the lean-to, I've been noticing it...

needs a little fixing.

Come morning, I'll ride Cody out...

find a fallen tree to patch it up.

All right.

How about I help you clean up this mess?

Mrs. Logan.

Still waitin' on that kiss, sugar pie.

Ain't no woman ever hit me and got away with it.

Shame the cowboy rode out today, ain't it?

Go ahead now. Fight me. I like that.

Yeah, yeah.

Chase!

Did he hurt you?

Thank God, you're all right.

I'm gonna burn this place! I know you hear me!

You should've told me about him.

Was there anyone else with him? - No.

He's hollerin' blood and fire out there.

You both gonna die for this. You hear me?

I'll kill you for this!

Claims his brother will hunt us down...

kill us all.

Don't mean anything.

I'm gonna turn him into the sheriff. You best get your things together.

It ain't safe for you and the young'uns around here no more. You gotta clear out.

Where would I go?

I know of this little place.

Two weeks ride of here.

It's called Logan Meadows.

The town wasn't named after me.

I named myself after the town.

Is that where your place is?

Nothin' fancy, but it'll do...

for you, and Gabe, and Sarah.

That's your place, though.

We can't take it and leave you with nothin'.

Hey...

When I saw you today...

hurt...

I'm not certain about too many things lately...

except...

if you hadn't been here today...

First time in my life, I feel like I'm doin' somethin' important.

You know, somethin' good.

Maybe it'll make up for all those times I let people down.

I think you're better than you know.

Baby. Look at your face.

Start talking. Do I need to go fetch my scatter gun?

It wasn't Chase. It was Lonnie.

But Chase beat him good.

So where is he now?

Back at the cabin.

And Chase went to go get the sheriff.

I've got somethin' to tell you.

Chase has a place about two weeks' ride west.

What kinda place?

A small little spread.

Good for horse and cattle.

In a town called Logan Meadows.

I know it well.

You know, I was kinda hopin' that you were gonna settle down here.

I'll write you every month.

You know...

it ain't the same.

I was lookin' forward to watching them young'uns grow up.

You could come visit.

You know, I just hadn't figured on that, that's all.

I need to get a compress for that face of yours.

Honey.

Jessie.

I will miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

Ready?

I'm gonna go check up ahead.

All right.

Be careful.

You know, he wants to be just like you.

He could do a lot better.

He could do a lot worse.

You know, you never told me how you and Nathan first met.

Maybe that's because it's not exactly a fairy tale.

Well, you don't have to tell me if you don't want.

When I was 16, Mr. Hobbs turned me out.

It wasn't his fault. It was the rule there.

But he said there was a woman in another town that had a job for me at a laundry.

And he gave me enough money to get there.

But when I arrived...

she had just died.

And there was no job for me.

And I was broke.

You know there's nothing you could tell me that would make me think less of you.

Well, after goin' to every business in town looking for a job...

I found myself at the last place on the street.

A saloon.

The kind where men go to meet women.

I stood out front just...

staring at the door for a long time.

A woman came out and invited me in to have somethin' to eat.

And she was kind.

And even though she was a whore, she wanted to help me.

And after a hot bath and a meal, she let me borrow some clean clothes.

Everyone there worked for a horrible man.

He was big, and...

fat, and sweaty.

He said he had a room there...

if I wanted to work for him.

It's okay. Go on.

He said I could keep half of what I made.

I didn't think I had any other choice.

I started that night.

That was the night I met Nathan.

He was my first customer.

And it was later that we got married.

Nathan always was the lucky one.

Howdy.

Evening.

Ma'am.

Smells real good.

You wouldn't mind sharin' some vittles with me, would you?

We'd mind. - Well, I ain't talkin' to you.

I was just kiddin'.

Say, I was just passing on through.

You wouldn't happen to know how far it is to Valley Springs now, would you?

About a day.

Maybe two.

By horse.

Well, it is gettin' mighty late.

So you wouldn't mind if I... - You best be pushin' on.

You ain't too friendly now, are you?

You folks have a...

...peaceful night.

Who was that?

Trouble.

Get out of the way!

That will settle ya!

You're gonna die for that.

He crossed the tree line about three miles back.

Good. Then we're safe.

Hardly. A side-winder like that doesn't come at you straight on.

I'll stay and watch with you.

I need you to get some shut eye, all right?

Who knows what tomorrow might bring?

What if that drifter knew Lonnie?

It crossed my mind, but he never came back for us last night.

What if it's Lonnie's brother?

He could be anybody.

By the time that drifter figures things out...

we'll be in Logan Meadows.

Just in case.

What was that? - It's okay, it's okay.

It's just a nightmare.

Go back to sleep.

I don't see anybody.

I'll keep watch, just the same.

Mr. Shepard here says they found this in your pocket.

Where'd you get it from?

You're in my custody now.

You're gonna hang in Clancy.

You ain't saved no fun for me.

Yours is out on the trail, brother.

Frank. - Chase!

You look wonderful, my friend.

It's good to see you, Frank.

Real good. - I was worried about you.

Your telegram said that you'd be here a few days ago.

Well, you move a bit slower with a family, I suppose.

You look good, my friend.

Marriage really agrees with you.

Chase, I have something for you.

I don't want to give this to you, but I know it's the right thing to do.

It's from Molly.

It fell between the boards of the post office.

By the time it turned up, you were long gone. I've been savin' it for your return.

What's it say?

Chase, I just suggest that you burn this and live your life.

What does it say, Frank?

This letter does not change the fact...

that you have a family now.

Read it.

Jessie...

I'd like you to meet a good friend of mine.

This is Frank Llyod. - Pleased to meet you, Mr. Lloyd.

Believe me, the pleasure is all mine. I finally

get to meet the only woman this side of the Pecos

who could possibly tame Chase Logan.

And who's this lovely young woman?

Well, this here is Sarah.

Hello, Sarah.

And that hombre there is Gabe.

Gabe, how was your trip? - Fine.

Well, that's a very lovely dress.

She's a bit shy.

Well, I can't wait to show you all your new home.

I'd plumb wore myself out fixin' it up since your

telegram. I hope you like what I've done with it.

I have no doubts, Frank.

Well, Mrs. Logan, are you ready to see your new home?

Yes.

Well, come on.

Frank, we don't have time for a social call. We just...

we wanna go home.

This is no social call, Chase.

This is your home.

What?

Go on.

How?

Well, Hollister was a degenerate gambler.

He lost this place to the bank. I tried to help him, but...

he didn't wanna help himself, so I turned to the only

man in town who had the money to buy up the mortgage.

You.

It doesn't hurt that this property borders up against yours over at Shady Creek.

I guess that makes you kind of a land baron now, doesn't it?

Sarah, come outside! There's a swing!

I've never seen such a sight.

Go on, woman.

It's yours.

Something wrong, Mrs. Logan? You don't like it?

It's like a dream.

Well, I'll leave you two for a spell.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I'm leaving.

Tonight. - What do you mean you're leaving?

The children and I will go to Shady Creek, stay the night there...

till I have a chance to think things through.

Are you touched in the head?

Look at this place. - Yeah.

This is the chance of a lifetime.

I can't take this from you.

Jess, it's gonna be fine.

Alright, come morning, you'll wonder what you got all worked up about.

No.

If I stick to our plan...

you'll leave...

and that's not fair to you.

Jess!

You gave me a fright.

You shouldn't be out here alone at night, it ain't safe.

Please don't be mad at me.

I can't bear it when you're mad. I'm afraid you're gonna ride off and never come back.

I just don't know what you want anymore.

I want you to be happy.

I don't want you to feel bound because of Nathan, or Sarah...

or me, and Gabe.

You've done more for us than any six people could have.

I do what I do because you make me happy.

Your smile, your touch...

everything about you.

Now we've been riding this wide circle around each other.

How do you feel about me?

I'm afraid that what I say will trap you.

Hey.

You couldn't trap me if you tried.

I love you.

Wait.

Please.

I don't wanna surprise you, but I have to show you something.

What is it?

It's disgusting. I know.

I'm sorry. - No, no, no, no, no.

That's not that at all. I...

I'm just thinkin' how bad that must have hurt.

How did that happen?

There was a fire at the orphanage.

Sarah was trapped in a room...

and I couldn't leave her there.

So that's why...

That hurt?

No.

Does that hurt?

No.

So...

you gonna tell me?

Tell you what?

Well, how a girl who became a saloon girl, and married her first John...

could still be a virgin?

Until last night, you mean.

Yeah.

Until last night.

I never finished my story.

Nathan was my first customer...

but he took one look at me and...

and started cryin'.

It made me feel terrible.

He said I looked just like his sister...

and that his sister was ruint by a drifter...

and that he wouldn't have any part of ruinin' me.

That sounds like Nathan.

But I told him that if he didn't, the next cowhand would.

Instead...

he took me over to the next town.

He figured that I should at least be married...

so I agreed.

After we got married, I...

offered myself to him.

He said I still looked just like his sister...

and he couldn't do the deed.

Well, Nathan was a good man.

In his own way.

So while we have our cards out on the table...

...you wanna tell me about Molly?

Was she beautiful?

Very.

What happened to her?

Well, she was at the...

Logan Meadows bank...

makin' a deposit on my behalf...

when it was robbed.

She disappeared with the outlaw.

Sheriff looked for her.

I tried to pick up the trail, but no luck.

I let her down.

I... I let Nathan down.

And my biggest worry now is that...

I'll let you down, too.

You never have...

and you never will.

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah!

Chase!

Gabe!

What happened? - I don't know.

And Sarah, she's gone. I can't find her.

All right, let's get him inside first. Let's go. Come on, buddy.

All right.

Get something for his head.

There you go. - Chase, I'm comin' with you.

You stay here in case Sarah or anyone else comes back.

I found this around Gabe's neck.

I gave this to Nathan when we got married.

He had it with him always.

I had that on me the day I got shot.

I was supposed to give it to you, but...

whoever shot me must have stolen it.

Well, then that means... - It was Lonnie.

Chase...

you get Sarah back, and you kill the man that took her if you have to.

My dearest Chase...

I know you were looking for me.

I didn't wanna be found.

But I wonder now if we can share this new exciting life.

If you can accept me this way, come and find me.

I love you as much as ever.

Take me home! - Quit your whining!

You understand me?

Where am I?

You're safe.

That drifter.

He's got Sarah. - You need to get some rest.

I came upon him...

told him to let her go, but then...

I... I don't know what happened. - Chase will find her...

and Lord help Lonnie when he does.

Let her go, Lonnie. - Lonnie?

That means there's two of ‘em.

They're gonna ambush Chase!

Time's up, cowboy.

Why don't you go on and...

drop that pistol?

Go on.

Run, Sarah! - No, let go!

Sarah!

Sarah!

Sarah! You all right?

Cowboy.

You still ain't friendly.

Mommy!

Are you okay?

You tracked us?

Yes, sir.

Good work, son.

Well, there you are.

Frank, what brings you here?

I brought you all a visitor.

Well, well, well.

I hope you all have an appetite.

I made roasted chicken and mashed potatoes.

So good to see you, honey.

And how long you visiting for?

I'm not visiting.

I'm Logan Meadow's newest resident.

Welcome home, Miss Hollyhock.

Thank you, Chase.

She just bought the Red Rooster Inn today.

As soon as she signed the deed, she insisted

that I bring her out here to see y'all.

Why would you move all the way out here?

Jessie, do you even have to ask?

Come here, you two.

I missed you.

Chase.

We need to talk.

I found your letter from Molly.

She asked you to come find her, and I think you have to.

It's your unfinished business...

and I can't expect to be more important than that.

You want me to leave?

I don't want you leave.

But I feel you have to.

Truth is, you don't love me anyway.

Now, that ain't true.

That night in the barn, when I told you I loved you...

you never said it back.

You never said it at all.

You're the only woman for me, Jessie.

I love you...

Mrs. Logan.

I love you...

Mr. Logan.
