Synopsis: After Confederate officer Blayde Hollister's home and family are destroyed by the Marlowe Brothers during the Civil War, he swears revenge, refusing to surrender and becoming a wanted man. In order to pursue the three brothers into Texas, Hollister fakes his own death in a staged gunfight with his friend Wild Bill Hickock. He then befriends Martin Weatherby, the newly appointed U.S. Marshal to Dallas, an affable, but not very experienced lawman, who agrees to let Hollister assume his identity. The eldest of the Marlowe brothers, Will, masquerades as a law-abiding real estate dealer while feigning righteous indignation over the brutal acts of lawlessness and violence visited on the honest citizens of Dallas by his sociopathic brothers, Cullen and Bryant.

Reb.

Oh, Reb.

Oh, Reb.

Well...

...you won my bet for me.

- What?

Tin-badge bet, remember?

You couldn't finish Marlow off, could you?

You had your chance,

but you couldn't do it.

That oath you took as marshal

crowded you too much.

Here. Free man.

Sink your roots in Dallas.

Grow your cotton.

Raise your kids.

Martin...

- I hope...

- You don't have to say it.

I know what your hopes are.

Where are you going?

Well, somebody's got

to tote that cotton.

I got me a railroad to build.

That Yankee foreigner's

talking American.

So are you.
