Episode 1
The Immigrants
Sun, Apr 24, 202250 mins
Patrick McCarty and his wife Kathleen and kid sons Billy and Joe moved from Ireland to New York in search of fortune, but found only poverty, so desperately join an organized trail of wagons to an obscure town in Kansas. They spend their last cash on a reduced rate Billy arranged by charming Mr. Moss, the eldest driver, who mentors him on the way in Western life, including shooting. Alas the 'promised land of opportunity' is just a muddy dump somewhere in nowhere, yet exploited by the least poor charging for dubious lodging and employing at miserable terms. Having lost a brave uncle, shot by horse thieves on the way, crafty, good-natured Billy -then twelve- starts developing his own sense of justice, protecting weaker kids, and rebellion against the abusive strong.

In the booming town of Santa Fe, she takes a poorly paid job in a boarding house, where Billy grows up as dishwasher with Mexican buddy Carlos. Just for the money, Kathleen marries dodgy entrepreneur Henry Antrim, whom Billy instinctively dislikes. Physically matured, Billy must watch powerless how 'mere Mexican' Carlos is murdered by a poker cheater whom the corrupt sheriff protects, as reporter Ash Upson explains another sick result of the secret societies of rich manipulators who control everything in their parts of the US. Billy catches Antrim in the brothel, but he's also broke, so it's time for the family to move again.

After wandering penniless in wasteland, Billy falls in with a dubious character who calls himself Alias, and helps him to work- officially as cowboy, but soon as cattle thief. When a nightly robbery goes wrong, he kills a man in self-defense and ends up on the run, jailed by a crooked sheriff after coming clean and visited by sympathizing Ash Upson before his escape. Barely surviving an encounter with Apache Indians and the desert, he faints presumably dying of thirst, but wakes up being nursed in the arms of a young woman, who eagerly becomes his lover, but happens to be the girlfriend of gang leader Jesse Evans, who plans to collect the bounty on Billy's head. Escaping again, Billy becomes a wanted man in both US and Mexico.
