03:43You! What'd I tell you about playing around with mechs?
03:47Mr. West! Mr. West!
03:49I need these ledgers added to my shipment.
03:53Sure thing, Mrs. Samuels.
03:56I worry about transporting my valuables,
03:59what with all the news of Parajan thieves on their airships.
04:03Trust you and your son will safeguard my belongings.
04:07Pearl's coming on the cattle drive, too.
04:09Hm? Oh, yeah. I just tagged along to keep the mechs company.
04:15I like to think I have a way, but...
04:17Well, I'm glad you're finally finding something useful to do.
04:22Yeah, useful.
04:25I long for the day when we finally have a railroad out of Fort West.
04:30Uh, no offense.
04:33Pearl, get Dallion and get over here.
04:46What the stupid thing is stuck?
04:53Good morning. My name's Casey McCroy of McCroy Traveling Mercantile.
04:58Brand new mech stock to show you. Cleaners, carriers, and all the latest models.
05:03Hmph!
05:04Oh!
05:06Hmph!
05:07Oh, any of those catch your interest, miss?
05:09Definitely!
05:10Look at this little guy!
05:12And this one!
05:13It chops wood, brings it to your stove, and actually stays inside to tend to-
05:17Folks around here ain't interested in whatever junk you're peddling.
05:21Junk!
05:22My good sir, I deal only with the most functional mechs.
05:27Presenting the patented Outhouse Helper.
05:33The Outhouse Helper?
05:35For those dire situations, picture this.
05:38You're in the Outhouse.
05:40You reach around.
05:41Oh no!
05:42You're out of paper!
05:43This is a catastrophe!
05:45What could be done?
05:46Worry no longer!
05:48The Outhouse Helper is here to rescue you from certain disasters.
05:56Always at your beck and call, with low coal consumption, easy setup, and a swiveling head.
06:01For privacy, the Outhouse Helper is the perfect addition to your household mechs.
06:07Hmm.
06:08I might have a use for that.
06:10My register's been giving me trouble, so give me a moment while I find my crowbar.
06:16Alright.
06:16I'll admit, you're persuasive.
06:20Why, thank you.
06:22But it's all in place and I'm really...
06:24Don't worry.
06:25I won't let him hurt you.
06:29Oh, you're hurt.
06:31Let me help.
06:34There!
06:37Pearl, what are you standing around for?
06:40Oh, it's fixed.
06:41Well, let me get your payment together, Mr. McCroy.
06:57Poor thing.
07:10Hey there.
07:12Come on out.
07:14It's okay.
07:18It's okay.
07:24Aw.
07:26Hey there.
07:28Come on out.
07:30It's okay.
07:30Aw.
07:33I've never seen you before.
07:35Are you lost?
07:37Who's your owner?
07:40Don't you have an owner?
07:42Somewhere you came from?
07:48Well, maybe...
07:51Maybe I'll see you around.
07:56Hmm?
07:59Hmm.
08:00You spirits.idades.
08:18Oh.
08:20Oh.
08:22Oh.
08:22Oh.
08:24Oh.
08:25Oh.
08:28Oh.
08:40Just practicing my curtsy.
08:43Uh, Pico needs help in the barn.
08:47Okay, uh, be right there.
08:50Coal is a little sparse here, so this is our little secret.
08:57Uh, yeah? Coal. Now, stay out of sight for a bit.
09:05How's the shop treating you?
09:07Uh, great.
09:10Pearl, why don't you grab me that grease gun? My back's killing me.
09:15Yep, that's Lester.
09:18Really? Can you grab me that grease gun?
09:28Uh, Pico, what? Wait!
09:30Huh.
09:32Huh.
09:33Find me a crescent ranch, would ya?
09:35Uh-huh.
09:36Thanks.
09:39Anytime you decide you're fed up with the shop, you can always stay home and help on the ranch.
09:44Yeah, well, it's not like you need my help.
09:46Hey, I just found what I'm naturally good at. That's all you gotta do, Pearl.
09:52Your destiny is like a wild mustang. She's out there, running free, waiting to be tamed.
10:00She'll only answer to you. If you don't throw that lasso over her head before the sun sets, she'll be
10:06lost to the night.
10:08Uh, yeah. Wow. You're right. I should become a cowgirl. I think it's a spot.
10:17Looks good in here to me.
10:20Well, that's great news. When are you gonna let Dad know?
10:23Oh, sometime before the cattle drive.
10:26Well, he might find out before then.
10:30I hope you're not planning on telling.
10:32How'd you afford that thing in the first place?
10:34I didn't buy him. I found him.
10:37It must have an owner. Why didn't you go bring it to the sheriff?
10:40He... he followed me home.
10:43Ah, there's a new job for you. A bed and breakfast for mechs.
10:48You know we don't have money to feed another mech. Why do you do this?
10:52I don't know. Because I want to.
10:55I was on my way home, and he just started...
10:58Whatever. It's your skin, not mine.
11:20Pearl, make sure you're ready for tomorrow. It's gonna be hard work, but we need this.
11:25Yeah, got it.
11:27Oh, go bring that oil tank back to Mrs. Hoops.
11:30Sure thing.
11:34What are you doing?
11:37Those aren't for mechs. Give them back.
11:41You naughty little thing.
11:44Stop it. You have to stay quiet.
11:51For the laugh of me, I can't figure out what you're for.
11:54Are you a lantern or a pot or something?
11:59You're just not like any mech I've ever seen.
12:03That looks like a six.
12:05Is that your number?
12:07Well, six?
12:09I'm Pearl West.
12:15Yeah.
12:16Friends.
12:17Now, stay here in the barn.
12:19I have to run an errand.
12:23There are no snakes in here, buddy.
12:25You can be brave for me, can't you?
12:29I don't know if I want to try and look for your previous owner if he made you this jumpy.
12:39Hey, you'll be okay. I'll keep an eye on you.
12:43They just want to keep doing the same things the same way forever and ever.
12:47People in Meridian are all backward.
12:49It's not that I don't like them, but they don't really get me.
12:53I just quit talking about mechs.
12:57Uh, I don't know.
12:59I mean, when I try to, I just, uh...
13:02What's wrong?
13:04Six?
13:06What?
13:13Bandits!
13:16Come on!
13:20They're coming!
13:31Hurry!
13:33Mirage and men! Get to the walls!
13:36Help!
13:40Huh?
13:42Huh?
13:45Huh?
13:47Huh?
13:47Huh?
13:47Huh?
13:47Huh?
13:48Huh?
13:50Huh?
13:51Yikes!
14:10Huh?
14:11Hey!
14:17Get away!
14:31Oh
14:34Yeah
15:14No!
15:15No! Get off me!
15:17No!
15:35Run, Pearl!
15:53Run!
16:30Shoot it down!
16:31Aim for the balloon!
16:53Shall we follow the crew?
16:56No. Not yet. We need to protect the ship. Ascend!
17:17You're a good man, Reed. Just like your grandfather.
17:22Let me help.
17:25All together now. Ready?
17:27All right, all right. That's it. Bring her up slow.
17:30Little bit more, little bit more. There we go.
17:43What are we going to do? How can we go home like this?
17:47To other towns. You can be sure these hands ain't bad.
17:50They've been pecking at Meridian Settlers for months.
17:52Forget everything else! I say we could have posse together and go after those bandits!
17:57Everybody calm down! One at a time!
17:58Henry, can I have a word?
18:02People, listen up. My family founded this town, and I aim to protect it.
18:07I got a letter from Mr. Cyrus Childs.
18:10He's got a plan to keep Meridian safe.
18:12I'm leaving today to go work out the details for Fort West.
18:16What?
18:17But be assured, if those Peragian bandits think they can bully us off our own land,
18:23they're dead wrong.
18:33What do you mean you're not going on the cattle drive? We've been planning this for weeks.
18:38I'm too hurt to be of any use anyway. I hate to leave you, but I trust you two to
18:43lead it without me.
18:47Thanks, Dad. Consider it done.
18:50When... when will we see you again?
18:56I'll send a telegram just as soon as I can.
19:00Take care of yourself, Dad.
19:03Yah!
19:09I can't believe it. I'm leading the cattle drive?
19:13Well, I'm gonna start rounding up the cattle safes.
19:19I'm back!
19:22Oh, Six? Everything's going crazy. My father just...
19:28Six? I know you're jittery, but you need to eat.
19:34What's wrong with you? Aren't you hungry? Haven't you eaten anything?
19:41Cold? Yuck!
19:45You... you don't eat cold?
19:50Then how...
19:53They're... they're after you, aren't they?
19:56Those bandits weren't here to steal from the town. They're looking for you!
20:01If they find us again...
20:03Oh, no. Oh, no!
20:05Pearl! It's time to go!
20:10Come on, we're leaving.
20:12Better not be setting any coal out for your little mech.
20:15Actually, I don't think Six eats coal.
20:18I mean, he should've shut down by now, but he's still going.
20:23There's something unique about him.
20:25Wow. Call the newspaper, man.
20:27I'm being serious, Pico.
20:29Whatever you say, as long as it's not eaten ours.
20:33Thanks again for saving us yesterday.
20:35Hmm.
20:36I'm just glad we were lucky enough to get away.
20:39Pearl, you nearly got yourself killed because of that mech.
20:42If it puts you in danger again, you need to get rid of it.
20:46Actually, he...
20:50He ran away.
20:52Ran away? That's too bad.
20:55I'm really worried about him.
20:57I...
20:58I think those bandits might be looking for him.
21:01Y'all ready?
21:02Don't you get it?
21:03They tried to take Six from me.
21:06I bet they know he's a special mech and came here looking for him.
21:09Six is in big danger.
21:12You didn't tell anybody that we found that mech, did you?
21:15No.
21:16And you're sure it's gone?
21:18It's not gonna come wandering back here, is it?
21:21I...
21:24I don't think you'll see him again.
21:26Good. I think you're right.
21:28They were looking for that mech.
21:30Oh, man. We're lucky it ran off.
21:33Pico, those Parajans can't be wanting Six for anything good.
21:37Who cares?
21:38It's time to go.
21:41...
21:57...
22:01...
