Scene #2 - The Trail

• Chris grills Black Fox for details on the men he rode with and the man who hired them. Buck comes riding up at a fast pace.
  Chris : You out for a ride?
  Buck : I heard you were goin' back.
  Chris : No need for you to come along.
  Buck : Yes, sir, there is. I'm the man who talked you into stayin' down in Mexico that night and I keep thinkin' - if we'd just rode back.
  Chris : I coulda come back alone. You didn't keep me there. Let it go.
  Buck : Sarah was my friend too, Chris, and I think you know how I felt about that boy of yours. So if it's all the same, I think I'll ride this one out with ya.

Scene #3 - Nighttime on the Trail

• Chris, Nathan, Josiah, Buck and Black Fox are making camp for the night. They hear a gun shot in the distance and Chris and Buck go to investigate while Josiah and Nathan stay behind guarding Black Fox. Josiah lays his gun down on the ground and picks up his rifle. Black Fox reaches for the gun, but Nathan throws a knife that lands dangerously close to Black Fox's hand.
  Josiah : Now that there is divine intervention. Me, I was gonna shoot your hand off.
• Chris and Buck find Steele in the trees, hiding from the noises in the dark.
  Buck : Who is this guy?
  Chris : Nobody. Leave him.
  Buck : You mind if I just shoot him?
• Buck playfully spooks Steele and tells him to run away, which Steele promptly does.

Scene #4 - Larabee Homestead

• The next day, at Chris's old homestead, he stands at the grave site of his wife and son and recalls the last time he saw them alive, when he and Buck left for Mexico and Sarah and Adam stayed behind. Angered by the memories, Chris demands Black Fox tell him every detail of the day, but Nathan interrupts and calls Chris down to the creek bed, where they find the bodies of the other two men Black Fox rode with when Sarah and Adam were killed.

Scene #5 - Eagle Bend

• The five men ride to the saloon in the nearby town of Eagle Bend, where Black Fox and his two companions were hired, to look for information. The bartender refuses to cooperate until Chris drags him across the bar and throws him on the floor, and then he tells Chris what he knows about the man who hired Black Fox - a man about Chris's size, who smokes cheroots and has a withered or crippled hand that forces him to wear a special glove. Later, when Chris goes into his hotel room, he finds the bartender hanging - dead - in the closet. While the body is being taken away, the sheriff warns Chris not to cause any more trouble. Josiah sends a wire back to Four Corners.
• The next morning, Chris is drinking straight out of a bottle and waiting impatiently while the others eat breakfast. When Jock Steele shows up, Chris leaves the table in exasperation.
  Buck : Mister, you're like a piece of somethin' a man can't scrape off the bottom of his boot.
• Everyone gets up to leave but outside the saloon, they are ambushed and have to dive for cover. They are pinned down and can't get a clear shot at any of their attackers. Out of nowhere, a covered wagon with no driver comes down the street and stops right in front of the saloon and the shooting stops. Suddenly, the tarp is pulled away to reveal JD, Vin and Ezra, who promptly dispatch all but three of the shooters. Vin takes aim with his long rifle at the three fleeing men and manages to shoot one of them in the shoulder. The seven - with Black Fox in tow - head out in pursuit.

Scene #6 - Purgatorio

• The trail of the three fleeing gunmen leads to the Mexican bandit town, Purgatorio. Steele manages to catch up to them as they are entering the town, and he is amazed at his luck in finally being able to see for himself the infamous town that he as heard so much about.
• In the town, the group goes in search of the three gunmen. Chris and Nathan go in one direction; Vin, Buck and JD go in another; and Josiah, Ezra and Steele go into the cantina. Chris spots a horse that looks familiar and finds the horse's owner, thinking it is one of the gunmen. Nathan realizes it's not who they're looking for and has to use all his strength to prevent Chris from shooting the man. Meanwhile, Buck, Vin and JD come upon an open coffin with a dead man inside. The sight brings back unpleasant memories for Buck of the last time he was in the town. Vin tells JD to check the man's shoulder and sure enough, it's the man Vin shot.
• Just then, a shot rings out in the cantina and Buck, Vin and JD go to investigate. Inside, Jock Steele is surrounded by a group of gunmen and outlaws, all clamoring to tell their stories. Ezra appears out of the crowd, counting a large wad of bills.
  Ezra : Welcome to the festivities.
  JD : We heard the gun shot.
  Vin : We thought someone killed the little feller.
  Ezra : Kill him! Hell, they're about ready to elect him president.
• Chris, Nathan and Black Fox enter from the other side of the cantina and head for the bar. Steele has taken a picture of the group of outlaws and he proudly shows it off to Ezra, who passes it to Josiah, and then to Vin. Vin looks at the men in the picture and something catches his attention. He glances around the room, and then over at Chris. He takes the picture over to Chris and points out a man standing at the edge of crowd. Black Fox confirms it is the man who hired him. Chris recognizes a man from the picture, standing at the bar. When the man refuses to speak to Chris, Buck sticks a gun in the man’s back and he identifies the man in the picture as Cletus Fowler. Chris has never heard of him before.

Scene #7 - Eagle Bend

• The group searches the area for a couple of days but cannot find Fowler. They return to Eagle Bend and Chris heads for the saloon. Vin follows him in a while later and tells him the others are ready to keep looking. Chris invites Vin to sit down and relates a story about a time when Chris was ranching, when a mountain lion kept attacking his stock. Chris tracked the cat but the cat was actually tracking Chris the whole time. Chris feels the same about Fowler.
  Vin : Fine line ‘tween hunter and hunted.
• Chris has something in mind and he invites Vin to have a drink. Vin gathers the others to continue the search for Fowler. That night, Chris is drunk and shouting for Fowler. Suddenly, Fowler appears in the saloon and taunts the drunken Chris. Chris wants to know why Fowler killed his wife and son. Fowler says he was hired by someone and that Chris was actually the target. Sarah and Adam were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
• Fowler is going to kill Chris, but Chris has a surprise for Fowler. The rest of the seven appear out of nowhere and fire on Fowler and his men. Fowler is wounded but he manages to escape and Chris follows him. He chases Fowler into the barn and they fight. A lantern is knocked over and the barn catches fire. Chris drags Fowler out of the barn and demands to know who hired Fowler. Fowler is about to tell him, but he changes his mind and walks back into the fire.

Scene #8 - Josiah's Church

• Jock Steele has returned to New York and has written a story of his trip west. Josiah is standing at the pulpit, reading the dime novel.

  And so it ended in that the cruel, ironic hand of death encircled the killer in flames, as it had done to Chris Larabee’s wife and child so many years before. Yet, was it the end? Or would Chris Larabee ride again with the hard, complex men he'd come to know? Gunmen like Buck Wilmington. And Vin Tanner, the bounty hunter with a price on his own head. The gambler Ezra. Or the greenhorn JD. Nathan, both healer and destroyer. And Josiah, placing his faith only in God and his gun.

• Josiah shakes his head, laughs, and drops the novel on a chair, revealing the cover - a drawing of seven men riding their horses and firing their guns, and the title - The Magnificent Seven.
