Complete story — includes the ending
Cullen fights for his life as he answers to the Swede ( Christopher Heyerdahl ) for his deadly actions. Lily struggles to survive in the wilderness, as Durant attempts to spin tragedy for political gain. Durant offers a $100 ransom for saving Lily from the Indians, assuming and announcing that she was held captive by the attackers. Joseph tracks down the Cheyenne braves responsible for a massacre - one of whom is his own brother Pawnee Killer ( Gerald Auger ) - then he finds Lily and keeps her safe from the Indian warriors. Cullen escapes the captivity of the Swede and goes to Durant's office, where he asks for Johnson's job as the foreman. Durant gradually accepts, despite Cullen's having fought for the South during the Civil War.
