Crow searches the wagon for the guns and they are not there. Jake tells Crow that he buried the guns because he wasn't sure if he could trust his contact. The two go on a night out to get to know each other before they make a deal. First they get drunk in a saloon and Crow shoots the place up.

As he walks away ,Crow pulls his gun and Jake whips around and shoots him. Jake thanks Regret for not giving his real identity away but he tells Regret he isn't off the hook.

Inside the cabin, the rancher's wife gives birth and the rancher suggests naming the baby Cutter after Jake. But Jake refuses and suggests the boy should be named after Regret for his good deed.Jake and Regret eventually arrive at the judge's office and Regret is told that the Rangers plan to commit perjury in order to prevent him from been sentenced. They make him a Texas Ranger with the understanding that he has actually been one for a couple of years so if anyone asks he couldn't have been in New Orleans for the duel and killing.Jake is assigned to go and track down the Comancheros and he requests that Regret be partnered with him. They wander the desert in a wagon with Tobe following in the distance on horse, ready to report back to the Rangers when they uncover the Comanchero hideout.

The Comanches take them to the hideout where Jake and Regret discover a secret society of thieves and murderers.

Aemlung, the man from the riverboat who saw Regret, orders that they be taken prisoner and tied up by their wrists. Pilar, the woman from the boat who fell for Regret arrives and instantly recognizes Regret and orders that the two men be cut down. The two of them are put on trial by the wheelchair bound but ruthless leader of the community, Graile (Nememiah Persoff), who is Pilar's father. Because of her personal feelings for Regret, she defends them stating that it would be best to let them live as they can provide them with a continuous supply of guns and also use their skills. Graile agrees and gives Jake and Regret a tour of his home and explains the society that he has created. He invites the Jake and Regret for dinner and they spend the time beforehand scoping out the hideout for a possible escape.As sunset approaches, Tobe is in the desert on his way to get help from the rangers but he is ambushed and killed by two Comanches. At Graile's hideout, Pilar tells Jake and Regret that she will have horses prepared ready for their escape. But Jake has no intention of leaving without arresting Graile and he steals a gun from one of the Comacheros and is ready to confront Graile at dinner. As they sit around the dinner table talking, Pilar tells her father that she plans to go away with Regret but she wants her father to leave as well before the Rangers arrive. Graile says he won't leave his empire that he has built and Jake pulls the gun on him. Aemlung walks in with the dead body of Tobe wrapped up in a blanket. Jake gets Regret to take care of Aemlung with his fists because he doesn't want to fire his gun and signal Graile's men. Regret subdues Aemlung and Graile calls in his huge henchman Gordo. After a struggle with Jake and Regret, Jake knocks Gordo out with the pistol. Regret and Pilar get ready to leave and Jake unwraps the rug to look at the dead body and tells Graile that he's going to take pleasure from watching him hang.Jake, Regret and Pilar get ready in the wagon to sneak out with Graile and Aemlung and Pilar's loyal man Esteban. But as they try to quietly depart, Graile shouts out and his henchmen wake up. The mother of a man who was earlier executed by Graile, runs up to the wagon and stabs Graile in the back with a knife. As Regret drives off, Aemlung jumps from the back of the wagon and is untied by his men. A chase ensues with the Comancheros who kill Esteban and later they run into a group of Comanches who join in. Jake is in the back firing his rifle and throws the cover off the wagon so it is dragging behind them and sets fire to it to stop the pursuit from getting too close. Riders get ahead of the wagon and Regret loses control and the wagon flips over. Jake, Regret and Pilar take cover behind the wagon. The Rangers arrive to rescue them. Pilar sees that her father is dead from the knife wound. Amelung tries to kill Jake but Regret shoots him. The story ends with the Rangers cleaning out the headquarters of the Comancheros.

As Billie tried to advance her career, pressures of life, including being a black woman, led to her not so secret substance abuse (especially of heroin), not so secret because of her increasingly erratic behavior, both on stage and off. As those around her, including Louis, worked to support Billie emotionally to get off drugs, Billie faced other issues, such as open narcotic use being a criminal offense, which in combination with the effects of the heroin use itself could be Billie's downfall despite her singing talent.—Huggo
