Michael Biehn (The Terminator), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and Eric Close (TV's "Without a Trace") continue the saga made famous by John Sturges' Classic 1960 film The Magnificent Seven in season 1 of this action-packed television series. Learning from each other and forming their own code of ethics, The Magnificent Seven vow to defeat the outlaws of the West and gain the respect of the common folk. The seven men include their embittered leader, a former gun-for-hire seeking redemption; a sharpshooter and bounty hunter; a former slave who becomes a healer; a young and cocky Eastern-bred idealist; a smooth-talking con-artist; a womanizing gunslinger; and a former priest turned eccentric prophet. With each episode, their legend grows through their heroic tales of friendship, loyalty and justice.

6. NEMESIS: Chris pursues the man he believes is responsible for the murder of his wife and sons. The rest of the seven try their best to keep Chris from doing something he might regret. A reporter follows the men around to get a story.
7. THE COLLECTOR: The Seven get involved when a "collector," Guy Royal, attempts to buy a string of homes: the future home of the railroad. Royal's hired gun has a bone to pick with Chris over an incident many years back. Josiah (Ron Perlman) is excited with his former love, saloon singer Emma comes to town.

9. INMATE 78: Chris is arrested and thrown into a gulag-type prison camp while intervening in the arrest of an innocent man. He's subsequently informed that the sheriff identifies drifters who look like they have money, and arrests them on trumped-up charges until their families pay the bail. Vin, Ezra and the boys search for Chris when he doesn't return.
