| Enriquez' wife
is ill with the fever that started at the mines and is now running through
the pueblo. As he opens his front door to go fetch the doctor--who is "a
good man," by his account who will come to help them even though they don't
have any money--he is met at the door by a press gang that is rounding
up draftees for Montoya's soldiery.
With the gold mine a complete wash, Montoya is moving to the second rule of acquisition: Overtax the peasants. |

| Grisham, you call these soldiers?
I do what I can with what I have, Colonel. To which Montoya replies, "I know the feeling." He stares at the captain. |
Tessa asks Montoya why they've
drafted a simple farmer like Enriquez.
Montoya blames it on the Queen of Swords. He needs more men to defend against her vigilante activities. ...and excuse him, but does it seem awfully hot out here? |
Marta discusses the merits
of non- violence in the face of the escalating conflict. She suggests Tessa
figure out another way to free Enriquez, rather than breaking him out,
in which case he will never be able to return to his family.
...and excuse me, but does it seem awfully hot out here? |

| Grisham is meanwhile occupied beating the tar out of Enriquez, showing off his pecs, and displaying the ancient frontier custom of chest waxing. | Tessa bats her baby browns
and requests that Grisham release Enriquez to work in her household.
He says he'll work on it. Maybe
they could get together later...
|
Montoya has meanwhile retired to his bedroom and summoned Il Doctore. |
