Complete story — includes the ending
Al's friend Jack Langrishe arrives in town with his theater troupe, as well as Hearst's personal cook, Lou Marchbanks. As Alma's condition improves, Doc coughs up blood during a conversation. Bullock and Utter learn that Hearst's men are killing miners that try to unionize. When Hearst denies involvement, Bullock demands that Al relinquish the body of the miner killed in the Gem. Hearst shows Cy a letter from Wolcott that implicates Tolliver in helping to cover up Wolcott's crimes, using this to strong-arm Tolliver into working for him. Alma meets with Hearst to discuss a price for her claim, but it goes awry when a mistrustful Ellsworth erupts at him. At their second, private meeting, she offers a price but quickly becomes unsettled after Hearst violently rejects it. He considers raping her but lets her go. Al wonders to Langrishe why he hasn't plotted revenge against Hearst yet, and Langrishe posits that he cares about the town.
