S1 E1 · The High Riders

A rancher and his foreman (apparently) take out after horse thieves leaving the daughter of one of them behind. They ride into an ambush. The foreman is killed and the rancher is seriously injured. Then they cut to Boston (my neck of the woods). A young man and a young woman are seen in evening clothes in a room with the door locked. Just as things seem to be heating up there is a pounding on the door. Apparently the young lady's father knows they're in there, doesn't trust them and wants to get his hands on the young man who now scoops up his cape, hat and cane. He grabs an apple (""I hate to eat and run"") and goes out through her balcony window and drops safely to the ground below. He is then approached by a man claiming to be a Pinkerton Agent representing the young man's father. The young man whom we now know to be Scott Lancer is being offered $1000 plus all expenses to travel to California and speak with his father (whom he claims to have never met) for one hour. In Me

Murdoch is in a nasty mood, taking his frustrations on a piece of iron he is working on the forge. Jelly approaches and tells him he has been ""acting like a snake bit ya"" ever since he found out Harlan Garrett, Scott's grandfather, was coming for a visit. When Scott and Johnny arrive in town to pick up Scott's grandfather, they separate and Scott enters the hotel. His father generally is down on the area and Scott's new life, and when the subject of Scott returning to Boston comes up, Scott says it might be a while to which Harlan replies ""We'll see"". Johnny then joins them, and Harlan points out that Johnny is Scott's half brother named Johnny Madrid and his mother was a foreigner. Scott indicates that they should be going.
