Before the David brothers can react, Westcott secures the upper-hand with a swift and orchestrated plan of attack against the preacher brothers and the widows, and soon has them all under his control.As they all wait at the Church at Lazarus Top for the Sheriff's mysterious guests of honour to arrive, one of Hawthorne's men is seen by them all, standing at the foot of the hill in the distance holding an Apache warrior in his arms. What can this mean for them all? It's not long before the evil Bishop of Tucumcari and men arrive, taking deadly charge of the situation. It looks to be all over for the brothers, with Brett David being the first brother ordered to be shot.What an incredible series The Painted Sky is turning out to be!
