Complete story — includes the ending
Ruth makes herself useful in the church work with Joseph. Senator Crane arrives in town for an arranged peace talk with the Cheyenne and to discuss the Union Pacific Railroad's future with Durant. The Swede informs on Durant's financial doings to Senator Crane. Cullen is put in charge of security while the natives are in town. He prevents Lily from causing a scene, after she spots a female native wearing Lily's dead husband's hat. Cullen and the Swede prevent Mr. Toole and his gang from following the natives out of town and killing them. As a way of encouraging peace, Durant allows Pawnee Killer the chance to race a locomotive on horseback. The Cheyenne visitors leave without agreeing to peace. Lily gives the maps to Durant after seeing the Native Indian with her dead husband's hat, realizing that the Indian whom she killed with his own arrow during the fight in the massacre was her husband. Crane menaces to expose Durant's speculations and thus ruin him.
