Plot summary
In Hoxem, farmer Timothy Flynn shoots his wife and then himself. His fellow farmer and former army mate Billy Myers asks Sheriff Marshall if marks were found on the bodies, and Billy's wife Martha confronts Trafford for seizing her unbranded cattle. Learning that Melmont paid for the Flynns' coffins, Marshall discovers their bodies have been dug up, while the Myers' son Jed finds Billy disembowelled and hanged. Locke meets a traveller who is killed by a Native man for trespassing on a burial site, and is nearly targeted by outlaw Black-Eyed Mog and her sons.
She reunites the children with the caravan of Mennonites, but realises the Clarkes are not what they seem: they betray passing travellers to outlaws who kill and rob them, disposing of the bodies and taking a share of the loot. Whipp reaches the same conclusion, but is taken prisoner. Locke returns and is forced to stab Katie, before holding John at gunpoint and demanding to know what happened to Whipp; he has been sold to Kills On Water, a Cheyenne chief, who asks him for the truth about the Chalk River massacre.
