The train doesn't have enough room for all who want to join, including an ex-convict whose life has been threatened by his former partner.

A blind man called Sangre has joined the wagon train along with his guide Espada. He is actually Coop's boyhood blood brother Richard Bloodgood, and he openly states his plan to kill Coop. Coop gets very hostile and refuses to discuss it whenever Charlie or Barnaby ask the reason Richard wants to kill him, but they know it has to do with the death of a beautiful woman long ago.
