With the rumor that Pedro GarcÃa's men were seen running from the saloon fire, Eli declares war and rallies an angry mob. Pete arrives at the GarcÃa home to warn them. He suggests fleeing, but Pedro declines and prepares his men. Pete assists them and fires upon his father's army. Many casualties occur on both sides; all of the GarcÃas are killed, except Maria who flees with Pete as seen by Phineas.
When Eli relates the battle to his family, Sally asks about Pete. Alone, Phineas tells her the truth. The McCulloughs are later granted the GarcÃa property. In 1850, Eli returns to the Comanche camp seeking revenge on Charges. Toshaway asks the elders for compensation, and they give him four horses; he also gives Eli a pistol of his own. Eli still pines for Flower. Later, on a hunt, the Comanches are attacked by Texas Rangers.
Charges is shot, but Eli prevents a Ranger from scalping Charges who dies from his wounds. Eli then scalps the Ranger. Both eras mirror each other, as Young Eli and Toshaway watch many settlers cross below them and Jeannie and her grandfather look over their newly acquired land.
