Narrator: Drought is a complicated phenomenon.

No one can truly predict it.

And in the town of bridgestone drought and shortage

had begun to define the very way of life for the people that live there.

But Sam and Eleanor were the exception.

Their ranch always seemed to defy the drought,

producing an abundance of crops.

So much so that Sam and Eleanor would pray for the hands

to help them reap the harvest, their own

little hands.

Sam!

Sam! Sam!

Eleanor

narrator: See all the years they were married.

They were never able to have children of their own.

Sam please!

Sweetheart, you have to try calm down like the doctor says.

Or you’ll risk losing the baby again.

Something’s not right.

It's all right. I'm right here.

Right here with you.

Calm down.

Ah! Alright Eleanor here it comes.

All right. Push real hard.

Come on, El.

Push Eleanor, push!

Narrator: But while the town was dealing with the complications of drought.

Sam and Eleanor were dealing with the complications of pregnancy.

Why?

Why ain’t the baby crying doc?

What’s wrong with the baby?

What's wrong with the baby?

Narrator: With each baby lost.

Their relationship started to deteriorate.

Don’t you try me.

All I do is lay here

with my kids Sam.

They were my kids too.

Everyone we lost I hurt just like you.

Narrator: Death after death drove Sam deeper into alcohol and darkness.

How many you gone take from me?

How many are you going to take from me?

Narrator: It got to a point

where he didn't recognize himself when he looked in the mirror,

all for nothing!

Narrator: Instead of tending the land,

he spent more and more time at the bit house and brothels,

some generous young woman decided to cover your tab.

I think she wants to help you

forget your sorrows.

Narrator: But Eleanor continued to pray for a child.

One day that child came.

Ma’am, please I need your help! Please.

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

My baby... I need somebody to care for her.

I’ve been shot.

And I don’t think I’m a make it.

But my baby, I need someone to take care of her.

Oh. Oh.

Who did this to you?

Her damn father

my god.

Yeah. It was god all right.

He led me straight to your doorstep.

I can go to town and get a doctor.

He can take the bullet out, ok? - Okay.

No, no, I won't last long enough for him to get here.

[Eleanor stammering]

Please take care of my baby. Please

I know your a good mom

and my baby girl.

She's as sweet as pie.

Just promise me that you’ll take care of her.

Ok.

It’s ok.. It’s ok.

Hmm. Hmm.

I’ve never seen a negro

baby before.

She’s beautiful.

What's her name?

Ellie.

Ellie.

Jesus Christ what happened here?

Ellie.

Ellie.

Ellie. You're alright?

What the hell happened?

There's blood everywhere.

The lord kept his promise Sam.

I thought something was wrong, but

it's actually right.

We cannot keep this baby.

Why not?

Because it's not ours.

She gave her to us before she died.

Do you even know who she is?

Do you know her name?

She died before I could ask.

She was basically dead when she knocked on the door.

I tried to get her to a doctor, but she didn't want to.

You know, she. She made a point to ask for me to take care of her child our child.

This is not our child.

What about her father?

What if he comes looking for her? Then what?

He killed his wife.

Do you think someone like that is suitable to take care of the baby?

I don't know.

I mean,

what do we look like, having a negro baby?

Parents Sam plus, where are we gonna take her to?

Ain’t no orphanages around here for negro babies.

Plus things are changing.

Oh, see.

She likes you.

She is cute

hold her. No.

I baby

Well,

looks like a little queen.

Well,

what are we going to name her?

I like queen... Reina

oh, reina.

You did good today.

Can I go with you?

Oh, hey, girlie.

I want to go to the market with you.

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, I'm just.

I'm just selling off some crops.

And, you know, your mom.

She don't like you going into town.

Please.

All right. Yes.

You got to stay here, okay?

Curly bill is the devil to deal with, especially when it comes to fair trade.

But I'm sure I can talk him into giving us what the crops are worth,

especially since we're in drought. Nobody else bringing anything.

Can I go with you?

No, you got to stay here.

But I want to see the town.

No, you look with your eye, not your feet.

You stay here. You understand me? Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Good.

I'll be back. Oh,

there's my morning wood.

What are you doing here?

Getting something to eat.

But it looks like something's eating you.

No.

You know,

I was hoping you'd come back and see me again.

That was a mistake.

I think it's a mistake

you're willing to make again.

But you know where to find me.

Just a man

wanted to see with his drought going around.

Everybody scrambling for produce.

And I'm fresh out.

That's good news for me.

Guess that means you'll be ponying up the debt you owe me.

What debt?

Come on, curly. Don’t try to pull that long bow on me.

You ain't paid me in full for last time.

Or the time before that.

Sam, I don't know what you're talking about.

Now, curly, damn it you owe me. $35.

And you said next month and it’s next month.

I got a wife and kid to feed.

Sam, you don't have a kid.

And I don't have 35 dollars

I guess that means I ain't got any produce for you.

Now, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait.

I don't have $35 here at the store.

Let me call my brother.

I’ll have him bring it over.

That's more like it.

Now, I brought £40, and, uh,

since my ranch seems to be the only one producing during the drought,

I think I'd like to renegotiate the price from now on.

Jim should be in here in a little bit.

Work this out.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Huh?

Oh, you're special, think you make the rules around here

just cause you got produce during the drought.

Oh. Oh.

Well, this is what happens to special people.

Stop it!

What is this little nigger girl doing here?

Let go of me.

You must be lost in a long way from home.

Leave her alone!

Let go of me!

We don't patronize your kind around here.

This is your new whore?

You like them young.

And black.

I’m his daughter.

You hear that, curly? Sam’s got a nigger daughter.

Yeah. You gotta be kidding me?

Oh, I don't know,

Eleanor must’ve pulled a fast one over on you to make you believe that.

And we thought you're the one

sleeping around on her.

Is this your daughter, Sam?

Is this your daughter?

Pleasure doing business with you Sam, as always,

I hope you understand now that I run things right here in town.

You may be the king of the hill, but here I run

things and I can make difficult for you.

Now, I don't want to have to do that.

But if you come down here telling me how much I owe,

it will be difficult [..]

If you try to sell your produce to somebody else, it will be difficult.

We clear?

Yeah. Good.

Tell Eleanor I said hello.

Not a word of this to your mother.

Take such good care of me.

Should be me taking care of you.

But you have taken care of me.

Good care me.

Treating me like I'm one of your own.

That’s because you are.

Eres mi reina.

And reina means

queen in Spanish.

That's what you are and queens.

Take care their family.

They lead the colony with the right amount of force

and compassion,

queens are strong

and beautiful.

Some may not recognize your strength, and beauty

but it’s always there.

Look in my bottom left drawer.

There's a brown box.

You know what else the queen has?

What?

Jewelry.

My mom gave this to me.

She said that gives you courage?

And I want you to have it.

Think you’re special cause you got produce during the drought.

This is what happens... I run things around here.

I can make things

difficult for you.

Can I try?

This isn't something for little girls.

I'm not little anymore.

Well,

girls don't shoot guns.

Why not? - It's.

It's just.

It's not something that women do.

What if a woman needs to protect herself?

That's what man is for.

What if a man isn’t there to protect her?

Look, look,

you have to relax, okay?

You control the gun, not the other way around, all right?

The gun is an extension of you.

All right?

But you have to be steady and ready before you pull that trigger.

You understand? Yes sir. All right.

Let's start with your stance, your stability all starts with your feet.

So widen out.

Angled towards it. Now give it a try.

You’re getting pretty good. Who am I

who am I

to you?

A hell of a shot, that's for sure.

How come you didn't answer those white men when they asked

if I was your daughter?

Why do you treat me like the help

whenever the doctor comes?

It's complicated.

Explain it to me.

You wouldn't understand.

Try me.

You're.

You're different from us.

So I am just a nigger girl to you.

Like that guy said.

I did not say that.

No, what you said was that I was like a daughter.

Like a daughter not she is my daughter.

You may not call me a nigger girl, but that's the way you treat me.

Reina!

Reina!

Sam this medicine is going to help her sleep.

I'm gonna leave it here with you, okay?

Make sure she gets plenty of water with it, okay?

Okay. She gonna be all right?

Let's talk outside.

She's going to be okay, right?

She has pneumonia, Sam.

But the medicine you gave her

is going to make her better.

Her lungs are filling up with fluid,

and there's really nothing I can do to stop it.

Her breathing is labored right now.

The medicines just to help her sleep.

There's nothing else I can do here.

I'm really sorry, Sam.

What? What are you saying, doc?

I’m saying she's not going to make it.

I'm really sorry, Sam.

Looks good.

So, your mother’s dying.

I know.

Her medicine is.

Real, real expensive.

Cost almost half what we bring in from crop

sales.

Is that what you're going to tell

people now?

What?

That the medicine costs too much to keep her alive.

Why do you always do that?

Do what?

Make me out to be the bad guy.

You make it pretty easy.

What you say?

What does it matter?

I'm just here to cook your meals.

Tend to the land, take care of your sick wife.

I don't really mean anything especially not out there.

What do you want from me?

I was trying to protect you. Those people out there.

They're evil.

Why can't you just say it?

Say what, reina?

That you're too ashamed to call me your daughter.

You've always been the ashamed.

I could see it in your eyes that day.

I saw it in your eyes many other times as I was growing up.

I could feel the difference in the way you look at me

and how Eleanor looked at me you always saw me as some

unexpected guest that you

occasionally entertained.

Fine. I was ashamed,

I was afraid

people find out I was raising a little negro girl

and they’d laugh at me because I couldn't have children of my own.

I didn't want you.

I just came home one day, and Eleanor was dead

set on keeping you

and that's why we never let you leave the farm.

Because we knew the people out there.

They would never accept you.

Never.

Thank you.

Maybe one day my real father will come for me.

So you don't have to be ashamed anymore.

I made you some of my corn and bean casserole.

Your favorite.

You haven’t even eaten your breakfast.

I do appreciate

everything you do for me reina.

I'm just not hungry.

You haven’t eaten all day.

I'm tired.

My soul is this tired.

And I know you're tired too.

Tired of tending to me when you should be taking care of yourself

and living your life.

But I am living my life.

I was wrong.

Sam and I were both wrong.

We thought keeping you locked up was protecting you.

But god showed me in a dream

that you are going to do

great things

beyond this ranch.

Sam and I aren’t going to be here always so you need to find people

that are going to look after

you the way that you are looking after me.

What people?

They just see me as some nigger girl in town.

Even Sam is embarrassed of me.

No, no he’s

not embarrassed of you.

Yes he is.

He told me out of his own mouth.

No. Sam's never been good

with his words, bless his heart.

But he loves you.

He’s the one that named you.

Believe me he loves you

just as much as I do,

I’ll have what he has.

Seeing how things are headed that way.

You are, Sam,

right?

Sam I’m rico,

forgive me if I don't shake hands.

No problem.

But I'm sure you will be soon.

I beg your pardon?

You own that farm there on the edge

of town, prosperous crops,

but might not be getting market

value for them..

That curly belle.

Now there

is one no good rustler.

It's a shame

he's buyer in town. - Tell me.

Sam must be rough

financially trying to run a farm like that.

While you’re getting shortchanged.

Why are you still talking?

Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying you.

Of course not.

I'm not selling anything.

I'm buying.

And a man like

you in debt...

Trying to care for wife in sickness with you.

Shut the hell up about my wife.

Now hold on.

I'm just trying to help you.

I can stop the bills

from mounting up, taxes,

leaving you nothing for your kids.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I can get you the profits

you need to make it.

Oh, yeah?

Yes, sir.

Sell your land to me.

Stay on it.

Keep doing what you do so well

and I'll be the negotiator.

Of your crops in the marketplace.

And how you going to do that?

I'm the tax assessor Sam.

Curly belle wouldn't dare

double cross me.

It's tough decision

but try and think of your family.

You know, I never thought I'd see you again.

I'm glad I was wrong.

What’s wrong cowboy?

Not having regrets, are you?

I don't give refunds..

Oh, a

little aggressive tonight.

I like it.

You know,

that was the best round of sex I’ve

had all week.

You know, you don't have to be so drab when you come to me.

Plenty of men come to me when their wife

just isn't doing it for them anymore.

They're still good people.

Some of them probably would have tried

to fuck that negro girl of yours first.

Is she good at cleaning up?

What you say?

What?

Don’t you ever talk about

my wife and daughter like that again!

You’re crazy!

Oh you ain’t seen crazy, but you’re about to.

You ain’t seen crazy yet.

Hey,

hey. Dinner’s on the counter.

Great I’m starving

How’s your mother?

She asked for you all night stayed up

as long as she coiuld, waiting for you.

Well,

I had to take care

of business in town.

The business of acquiring the smell of another woman's perfume,

I presume is very hard and delicate business.

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about you were out rubbing up against some woman

to bring home her scent while I was here taking care of my dying mother

as she transitioned over to glory.

What do you mean transitioned?

She's gone.

She knew she wasn't going to make it very long.

But she prayed, hoping that you would come home

so she could say goodbye to you.

But you never did.

Do you need help?

No. It’s my wife’s grave.

I should be the one to dig it.

Fine.

We’ll Bury her tomorrow.

The grave has been dug.

In more ways than one.

What?

You know,

I am getting awfully tired of your mouth.

Didn't have to bring in here.

Coulda left you out there.

In the woods.

Let coyotes drag you off.

I am well aware of the story.

I was fortunate enough to hear it again before mother Eleanor died.

And I'm grateful.

Very grateful that I was there by her side in her waning hours.

Don’t you ever talk to me like that.

This is my house, my ranch.

This is your house.

This is your ranch.

But for how long?

For as long as I want it to be.

But that's not what these letters are saying.

What letters?

For the past few months now,

we've been getting letters.

Saying there's a debt, and they're going to take the ranch.

Whenever they come and I just hide them in my room.

I didn’t want mother Eleanor to worry about it since she was sick.

And I figured you were handling it.

I was handling it.

Was handling everything.

I was tending to the crops, tending to the animals,

I was selling the crops, I was selling the animals.

But it wasn't enough.

So, yeah, we're in debt up to our necks.

And the truth be told,

it's your mother's fault.

She's the reason me and curly belle’s relationship went south.

Always running her mouth at the marketing.

And then she had to get sick.

And she needed the best doctors and the best care.

And it cost the best amount of money we had.

So, yeah,

we're in debt.

It's a burden I bare alone.

You don’t have to bare it alone.

I can get a job.

Yeah,

I hear they're looking for girls down there at the brothel.

Thanks for showing up

on such short notice, with no charge

it's fine, Sam.

You don't have to explain, but you do need to work out a plan.

Word around town is not good.

Clint is not happy about you burning up one of his girls.

I know.

I was just going through a lot with Eleanor.

It’s going to cost you a lot of money

on top of what you already owe.

I’m a fix it.

What are you doing?

Hey. I was just looking for you.

I uh

I got to run into town, to get some things. I’ll be back.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Your back?

Indeed.

We are back.

What do you want?

We’re here for Sam

we're looking for your fake and delinquent father.

Yeah. Look. Look, girl.

Sam's in a lot of debt and we’re looking to help him settle it.

You, know what?

I don't think Sam is here..

And I don't think he's coming back either.

I think he left her!

What a coward.

Now, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this,

but this place no longer belongs to Sam.

See, this place is now under new management.

I offered him another way.

One far less humiliating.

But cowards like Sam, well they’re

just born a humiliation.

A drunk with no wife,

no sons, parading around town

with a negro girl posing as his own child.

Well, it’s pathetic

when we take over this dump. - Don't worry.

We'll keep a nice, warm place for you out in the barn with the rest of the animals.

I am not animal.

My momma told me I am a queen and can do all things.

So I'm going to run this ranch myself.

Sam left it to me.

Little girl.

You're a child.

You can't own anything.

And even when you are not a child, you will never own this ranch,

because a woman cannot own land.

Says who?

Says the law and around here,

well, you’re looking at the law?

And since we own this place,

we own everything on it.

And that includes you

and this owner want to get more

acquainted with this property.

Let go of me!

Let go!

Jimmy, Jimmy.

We are here to conduct business.

Would you please

take that elsewhere..

Take her into the other room and have your fun in the other room.

Fine.

I thought you'd appreciate a good show..

Get off of me

curly belle what the hell?

Your cousin is particularly disgusting.

I hope that don't run in the family.

I’m the brain of this operation.

I just need him when I need a little muscle.

Well, next time, leave your little muscle at home.

Now, let's get this paperwork done

it ain't going to do itself. Get that quill.

I always wanted a negro woman.

No, you're not much of a woman,

but I'm sure it's all the same.

I saw you in the market.

I knew this day would come

get off me!

I like ‘em squarmy.

Your nappy hair and black skin.

You better!

[Jim screams like a woman]

Get off my ranch.

All right. It's simple. There's two parts to this. All right.

This is from the county right here.

This is the tax lien.

The hell curly belle.

We came here to do a business transaction, and you’re deranged cousin

is murdering little girls.

You need to get him under control.

Damn, Jimmy!

I swear I will never do business again these backwoods spoosies.

Jimmy! Why did you have a shoot that negro girl?

You’re always going against the plan.

Oh shit!

Now, I swear, I'm never doing business with spoosies.

Curly bill?

Jimmy?

Curly belle/

Jimmy did you shoot curly belle?

The hell is-wooh, hey now.

I’m unarmed.

Don't suppose you can put these down

and talk, like, civilized people?

You come in and take my ranch?

Without giving us a chance to pay what we owe.

Then you try to rape and kill me.

That wasn’t me, that was Jimmy.

But you didn't even bother to stop him.

I should have killed you and have a chance.

You gonna swing for this?

-You will never own this ranch.

We'll see about that actually.

I will see about that.

You won't be seeing anything after today.

Ray?

Williamson.

No that's Sam's last name.

I can't use that.

Bronco.

Ray bronco.

What am I doing?

I can't do it.

And I can't do this. I can’t do this.

I can’t do this. I can’t do this.

I can’t do this.

I can do all things

I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.

I can't do it.

I'm not strong enough.

Why?

I don't know.

Cause I'm a girl.

And this is a man's job.

So you're telling me you're not as strong a man?

Oh, no, ma'am.

There's no crying on this ranch.

Crying is a sign of weakness, and we are anything but weak on this ranch.

We build each other up.

I'm not like all the other girls here.

I didn't come here because I was out on the street with no place to go.

I'm not some recovered brothel whore.

I just didn't want to be forced to marry someone.

I had no feelings for.

If anything, I'm probably the weakest here.

On the contrary, you're

probably the strongest one here.

See, you have stood up for a principle.

Not everybody, man or woman, can do what you did

that's why we need you here.

And we need you to believe in yourself.

Because it all starts right here.

I didn't think.

When I was abandoned here, that I, a woman,

would be able to keep this ranch going.

Hell, I was just a kid.

But even before that, my mom,

who's grave is just across that hill always told me.

No matter what anybody said or did, I was a queen.

I can do all things through Christ.

Things that seemed impossible for someone that look like me.

But here I am, a woman

running a ranch in the west.

Something that's not legally possible.

How do you do it?

Well,

the thing about women is nobody ever gives us power.

We have to take it.

When you left that arranged

marriage, you took your power.

Now pick up that axe and take your power.

Hey, yah! There it is.

I finally did it.

You always could.

Women are more powerful and capable than we even realize.

They say it's a man's world.

But here at Ray's ranch. It's our world.

And we love it.

A place of infinite strength, perseverance, and sisterhood.

Nobody understood how we were able to keep things going.

The land was blessed with fertility.

I always believed it was mother

eleanor’s spirit watching over our land.

And I made sure that I prayed over it every morning.

Oh, god.

Of springtime and harvest.

Thank you for being, lord.

Every season in our lives, all of the-reina!

What's going on?

There are some men here.

They keep asking to talk to the owner.

Let’s go.

Gentlemen, how may I help you?

You cannot.

I'm here to see the owner, a ray bronco.

Well, he's away on

business, and I mantain the land while he’s gone.

When will he be back?

Uh, I'm not sure,

but I will surely give your message to him when he gets back.

Who the hell are you,

ray? Miss Williams.

Seems to be a lot of a lot of women on this ranch.

Yeah.

Too many women and three more cunts just showed up.

Hey, watch your mouth, you little whore.

Gentlemen, please

state your business so we can get back to work.

I assure you, I have no problem

letting the owner know what business matters need to be addressed

when he gets back. He's left me in charge until then.

Seems like he needs you in charge quite often.

As a matter of fact, in town, no one's ever heard of this ray bronco.

Well, what can I say?

Business men are always on the go, and we take

care of the land very well, for Mr. Bronco.

Maybe that's why he doesn't see a need to come back as often.

Maybe there is no ray bronco.

Sam Williamson sold this land to Mr.

Bronco 20 years ago.

Yeah right after he killed my father.

And it's a hell of an accusation to be tossing around with no proof.

I don't need any proof.

He disappeared right after he came up here to meet with your father.

Sam, is dead, I never refer to him as my father.

And I don't know anything about disappearance.

Sure about that.

Maybe it's that black witchcraft that killed Sam and my father.

What else explains someone leaving a

negro girl in charge?

There is no need to be disrespectful.

Hey, what is a pretty girl

like you doing on a ranch like this?

I don't think there's any of your business.

You're right.

It's not our business.

But this is our business.

You tell ray he’s got a past due account

it’s accrued interest needs to be paid immediately.

Seems old Sam had a past due tax account.

He didn't pay it up before he sold the property.

He owes $2,000 by march 4th.

What?

March 4th.

That’s in three weeks.

Indeed it is.

But I'm sure you

ladies will have

no trouble coming up with the money.

I would hate to take this place from you and Mr.

Bronco. Oh.

Have a wonderful day, ladies.

Let’s go boys.

Reina what are we going to do?

Do we have $2,000?

Not by march 4th.

Dammit!

So what's the plan?

We're going to go in the market.

You're going to show yourself to be a pleasant yet

desperate woman selling produce.

Have them taste some.

They’re going to like it because they always do.

And then you charge them double for it.

You can give them some sob story like you have a sick son or something.

Okay.

I just hope I can pull this off.

The whole ranch depends on it.

You'll do fine.

Hello, sir.

We're selling some fresh apples today.

Straight from the farm.

Do you like to buy some

fresh the ranch?

That's $0.03.

What are you doing?

Who do you think you are.

Well, I'm the one that’s going to pay your price for your crops.

Figured I need a little interested on my investment.

Stop it.

We don't want any trouble.

But it can get problematic really quickly.

Well who the hell are you?

We're just trying to sell our produce to keep our ranch afloat.

Well I’m not buying.

Especially not from two uncultured women that don't know their place.

Now get the hell out of my store.

Dammit, I messed up.

No, you did.

We didn't sell anything.

In fact, we lost product.

Letting that creep taste it.

I should've just let him grab my ass.

No! You never let anyone violate your body.

Ever.

But reina we will lose the ranch.

Nothing is worth that price, lottie.

Your dignity is worth more.

-I know a guy in the next town

-I sell alot to their store. Thru the workers.

Hey Rey, uh.

What you doing around here?

What do you mean? What am I doing around here?

I mean, you usually don't

come this early in the month.

Well, I got you plenty of produce,

and I know how much I love my handmade peach pie.

Oh, yeah.

Now, you know, that's my favorite.

Well, I brought you plenty of it.

And I figured since you're so close to the owner.

Maybe talk him into

paying 25 cent extra for each one.

Especially since we're the only farm to get it custom made.

That might be a problem, Rey..

Why is that?

Boss said we can’t buy from y’all for a while.

I guess inventory is good.

Inventory is good?

The last I was here you asked me to bring double,

and now I bring double.

And you have no use for it?

Boss’s orders.

Rey, I'm sorry.

Listen, I'm in a bit of a pinch right now.

I'm in need of some quick sales in order to keep my ranch afloat.

Come now.

Rey you know, if I could, I’d buy everything you got

right now but boss say that we came back from y'all for 3 weeks.

-Now, if you come back after that.

I can probably get him to buy as much as y’all need.

Three weeks.

Why three weeks?

I did see some man come by here the day some fancy

suit, overheard him talking with boss.

He said we can’t buy from y’all for a while..

They threatened to shut us down, Rey.

Did he have on a long red coat

and two gunslingers with him?

Yeah.

How’d you know?

That son of a snake.

Three weeks and we can buy from y’all again.

Yeah.

We will have a farm for you back from.

So, are we unloading?

No.

Are they buying?

No.

What do you mean, no?

I thought you said this-

Billy got to them first.

What?

Those clowns that came to the ranch are forcing us out of business

by telling people not to buy from us.

Let's just go to the next town.

Where's the next town?

It could be a day's journey from here.

And for all we know, Billy's already got to every town

and told them not to buy from us.

We have to tell Mr. Bronco.

He'll figure it out.

It's his debt anyway.

Right?

You want him tell mr. Bronco?

What are you doing?

I'm introducing you to Mr. Bronco.

My better half.

You're ray.

I had to forge the deed.

I knew I couldn't use my real name.

So the first thing that comes to mind.

That's amazing.

A negro woman owns her own land for 20 years

legally, and no one even realized it.

Brillant?

Yeah, but now we're in trouble.

Hi-yah!

I aint do nothing.

I told you if you stole from my customers again.

You were gonna have trouble.

Well, now you got trouble.

No. Oh, no, please,

You've got 3 seconds to take your hands off that lady

she is not a lady.

I promise you that.

One, two...

Now walk away.

Well, I will be damned.

I done seen it all today.

Little nigger girl dressed up like a cowboy.

Nigger girl?

Reina reina. Stop.

Show you what a nigger girl can do..

Stop! Stop!

We got to get out of here.

We can't just leave her here.

-We don't have anywhere to take her.

Where am I?

Well, calm down.

-Calm down.

Who are you?

You want to jack’s girls, aren’t you?

And you kidnaped me.

No we didn't kidnap you.

We saved you.

And kind of kidnaped you too, but not in a bad way.

Oh

Stay away from away from me.

Nobody's trying to hurt you.

We found you at a saloon outside of oatman.

Some guy had beat you up pretty bad.

And he would have killed you

if we had stopped him

thank you.

No problem.

But can you do me a favor?

Can you put my mama's picture back on the nightstand?

That's my favorite picture of her.

And I would hate for it to get broken.

Your mama?

Yes, my birth mama.

Died when I was real young and she took me in.

She's the only real mom I ever knew.

So what’s your name?

Reina, reina Williamson.

Where am I?

This is bridgestone.

Bridgestone, I swore I’d never come back to this town.

What's your name?

My-Mary fettertone.

Well, Mary, you're welcome to stay here as long as you need to

in order to get back on your feet.

We're all here to help.

And as we always say here at the ranch, behind every success, the woman is a

tribe of women pushing them forward and nobody pushes like we do.

All of you belongings that we found with you.

Are right there.

My makeup bag.

Yeah.

Come on, lottie, let's give Mary some time to rest.

Let's go.

So Billy and his crew are determined to take over our ranch

by blackmailing our markets and telling them not to buy from us,

basically leaving us with no way to raise and money

to keep them from seizing our property.

Great.

Looks like we're going to be living out on the street again.

Nobody's going to be living on the street.

We will get the money doing what we do best.

Is that your plan, how are we going to find him?

It says he was last seen in laramie.

We do not know anything about laramie.

I do.

I used to work there many years ago.

I could go with you and keep you on track.

Well, it's the least I could do.

Are you sure you're up for a trip like this?

Well, I told myself years ago I'd never come back to bridgestone.

So. Yeah, if he gets me the hell out of this town, I'm up for the trip.

Okay, well, lottie and Mary go with me.

The rest of you stay here and take care of the ranch.

What if those men come back?

Shoot them.

I like her.

If anybody comes to this ranch.

Before we get back.

Shoot them.

Let's go get ready for this trip.

No,

I've never seen that man.

Oh, we're out of water

Well, I'll be damned.

There he is, Wayne Wesley.

Cuter in person.

Let me see.

$2,000 never looked so good..

Alright. Here’s the plan.

Excuse me, sir.

Can you help me find the next city?

I seem to be lost,

I have this map here, but I can't figure it out.

You out here by yourself?

Yes. Yes.

I just wanted to get away and

see the world.

Well, I'm not that good

at reading maps but I can probably help you out.

Over here is the

next city.

And here is Wayne Wesley.

A wanted man.

Whoa, whoa. What is this?

Wow, two women at the same time.

I am more wanted than I thought.

The only thing we want is that $2,000 bounty

on your head.

Well,

maybe I ah,

She shot me.

I got him.

I got him.

Ah three women.

Ain’t you ever used a needle before.

Oh, this moaning and groaning.

You're lucky you worth more alive than dead.

I would have put a bullet in your head instead.

Where are you taking me?

To the sheriff. To collect our money.

Wait, wait. We’ve waiting long enough.

Almost a week from now,

I can get you more money.

-Yeah, right.

I'm worth more than the $2,000.

That's why they won't be delivered to them alive.

I have information they want.

Like what?

Gold. And I have the maps.

Yeah.

You laughing over there? You can check my bag.

I can get you $500,000.

That's why they want be paying 2000 to bring me in.

I can get you $500,000.

Sure.

I found the map.

You can.

I can take you out to it.

Yeah.

It's only about a two day journey from here.

How do we know you telling the truth?

And how do you know that I'm not?

What do you have to lose, anyway?

You already captured me.

I'd rather some pretty women as yourself.

Get the gold in some crooked old white men.

Maybe we should look for the gold I mean, he’s right,

we already have the $2,000 now that we’ve caught him.

What are you girls thinking?

So it's just you and me tonight, huh?

Yeah. Unfortunately.

You know

a woman as pretty as you

should smile more.

And a man as pretty as you should be worth more on

a bounty poster.

And she's funny.

You know if I didn't know any better.

I think I want to be captured by you.

And why would you want to get captured?

Sometimes

you just get tired of running

and sometimes what you think you want really is

what you thought you didn’t want.

And sometimes what you want

it just takes you by surprise.

So tell me this.

What is it that Ms. Reina wants?

I mean, you can have anything you want for

five hundred thousand dollars.

All I want

is to run my ranch and for my girls to be happy.

That's noble.

But what about. What about your happiness?

I mean, don't you want to find your prince

charming?

There is no prince charming.

Prince charming always turns into the prince frog.

Not all men are like that.

Says the man that’s on the most wanted list.

Most wanted.

Do you even know why I'm on that list?

Must’ve kill somebody.

Some prince charming you are, huh?

That somebody raped

and killed

my sister.

I'm sorry

reina I've been running a long time.

Long time.

Along the way, I met this man.

He had a map to this gold.

He was good at reading the maps.

And I was good at getting us along safely.

But along the way,

he must have figured out there was a bounty on me

because middle of the night sheriff he come for me.

Sure felt like a setup, but that's okay.

I was able to get away,

took that map on my way out

just to get his ass back.

I woulda done the same thing.

No, you.

You would have shot him in his pinky toe

yeah. There's that smile.

Sure looks good on you.

Hey it’s getting colder.

You know,

if we get closer together,

we can keep ourselves, keep ourselves even warmer.

I mean, I'm serious.

You ever heard of thermodynamics

sharing body heat, it’s science.

Come on, I ain’t gone hurt you.

Come on.

You got me tied up.

Come on.

Come on.

You know,

if you would untie my hands, I can

I can keep you even warmer.

Not a chance.

Get closer.

It's okay.

[Romantic harmonica]

It seems like that

frog prince in your throat now.

What's going on here?

Oh, it looks like bridgestone's most wanted.

Got what he wanted.

Shut up?

Nothing happened,

you sure about that?

Hey. I think this is it.

You think?

I mean, it's not like I've been here before.

Whoa.

There's nothing here, Wesley.

I mean, maybe you aren’t digging in the right place.

I mean, I think.

Is it x marks the spot behind the magnolia tree?

Maybe it's over there.

There's nothing here.

Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

I told you, I'm not too good at reading maps.

You know what I think?

I think you brought us out here knowing there was no gold here.

No. If you just didn't want us to turn you in.

Look, I'm sorry.

I'm just not that good at reading maps.

I'm sorry.

We’re being ambushed! Run!

He set me up.

I fell for it like an idiot..

-It's going to be okay.

We'll get you cleaned up and then we'll go back to the ranch.

I can't go back to the ranch.

I failed them.

I was responsible for them.

Lottie.

You can and you will.

I'll be the tribe that pushes you.

I let my

guard down and look what it cost me.

Every man I’ve ever known

has always end up showing me

that they don't give a damn about me.

Wayne, Billy, Sam.

It’s sam’s fault we’re in this mess

in the first place.

Actually,

that's my fault..

What are you talking about?

Mary?

What happened?

The name is Myra.

Myra James.

I knew your dad, Sam, in the biblical way.

Although what we did wasn't very biblical.

Now he burnt me.

Because I said some terrible things

about his black daughter.

He said, don't you ever

talk about my wife or my daughter that way?

You ever talk about my wife or my daughter that way?

Ever again.

Now, Sam, was an odd person.

And he was couldn't

express himself very well.

But that day

he was as clear as could be.

He called me his daughter,

with every bit of passion

that he had inside.

But he still left.

That’s my fault too.

See, I was pissed because he burnt me.

So I told Clint, my boss, to run them out of town

because I was one of his favorites.

He did.

And I'm sorry.

I hope you forgive me.

Yes, bring her around here.

There you go.

I’m sorry.

No!

I'm. I'm sorry.

I forgive you.

So let's not speak of it again, okay?

Hey, you guys are back.

What happened?

We were attacked.

Where’s lottie.

She didn't make it.

I found you

nigger bitch

She said shoot any man

that came on this ranch, right?

Mary. Mary,

go get the medical supplies.

Hold on Mary.

I always knew that son of a bitch

was going to kill me.

I just didn't know it would take so long.

-You're not dying, Mary.

We got to get you back to health just like we did before.

Thank you for giving me and making me say that

it was more to me

than being a whore.

My only regret

is that I didn't realize it sooner.

Keep

keep pushing old hags like me.

Keep pushing them forward.

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary.

Oh. Oh, oh.

Mary.

Reina we were able to make almost $500.

We got somebody to sell produce for us.

And Jesse was able to sell off one of the calves.

That’s good.

What are we going to do about the rest of the money?

Don't worry.

I'll figure out something.

Yeah. Looking to sell my horse.

I don't have any need for any more horses.

I know someone who does though.

Well, if it didn't ray-nah, Williamson.

You son of a bitch.

You blackmailed my customers out of buying from me

so that I’d lose the ranch.

-Me?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I blackmailed ray broncos customers because it's his land,

not yours.

It doesn't make any difference anyway.

It's about to be land.

Maybe he might even show up, the day to due.

Maybe I'll even let him renegotiate his debt.

Maybe ray isn’t a real person after all,

just some haughty,

taughty woman.

Hey!

Don't leave.

I'm still interested in buying the horse.

At least it's pretty.

-Go to hell Billy.

Such a crass woman.

Ahh!

What happened?

We lost. That's what happened.

We lost Mary.

We lost lottie.

And now we’re going to lose the ranch.

It’s over.

Ah, it’s over!

We still have each other, right? - Yeah.

We still have each other.

Hello, ladies.

It's been three weeks,

and that $2,000 bill is due.

You know. If you don't pony up,

we're going to have to take the land.

Yeah, that's going to break my heart.

But the law is the law.

So

Rayna,

you have the money?

Yes, I do.

Really?

You have the money?

Calm down

putting a silver

bullet in your head is worth more to me.

Than anything anybody can give me right now

be smart reina.

This is not what you want to do.

You're right.

I don't want to put the bullet in head

I want to put it in your chest.

Just like I did your dad.

You killed my father.

I knew it, just like I knew there's no ray that owns the deed to this property.

Maybe I should just re-unite you

with your dad in hell.

Hey, hey.

What's going on in here?

Let’s all put our guns down for a moment.

I'm sure we could

all talk about this like civilized people.

Who are you?

I'm glad you asked.

I am ray.

Ray bronco,

what?

The owner.

Yes, the owner of this here ranch.

Oh, forgive me one moment.

See this here?

This is the 2000 that I owe with back taxes.

Where did you get it?

It's all there.

Come on Billy you got the money.

Let's just get out of here.

Maybe she's right.

I got my eye on you., I got my eye on all of you.

We're not through.

I don't know which is worse.

Being rustled by them or rescued by you.

You set me up.

Reina calm down.

I didn't set you up.

I had a bounty on my head.

It's me.

Now why would I come here if that were true? Huh?

And why would I pay that guy $2,000?

I came here

and I am here

because I

chose you.

Your safe now.

How did you find me?

How did you find the money?

Well,

it turns out

I was reading the map wrong the entire time.

I mean, I told you I wasn't good at read maps and

once lottie figured out, there was.

I was looking at it backwards well the gold was right

where it was supposed to be.

Lottie?

Yeah.

So she picked out ray bronco’s costume and accent..

Lottie we thought you were dead.

We looked everywhere but couldn’t find you.

I did get shot in the leg.

But Wayne was able to get the bullet out and stop the bleeding.

Oh, yeah. See,

if you hadn't had me tied up the whole time, you would have figured out

how good I was with my hands.

I love you.

I love you too.

-You don’t have to worry.

[Soft guitar music]

Reina.

Yeah?

There's a man here to see you.

Tell Wayne hey.

And tell him to do that silly northern accent again.

No, he wants to talk to the real owner.

The real ray bronco.

Okay.

Yes, sir. Can I help you?

I heard my wife and kid.

I’m looking to take them home.

I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken.

Reina Williamson heard a lot about you.

Run the most fertile ranch in town, fastest

female gunslinger in the west from what I hear.

Look sir-

jazzy ace.

Jazzy ace, none of us

on this ranch is married and none of us have kids.

I'm sorry I cannot be of assistance to you but your wife and kids are not here.

Well my wife was shot,
