Serenity: Hunter<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daniel Evans<\/a> was the only son of Clementine and Richard Evans. He grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, had some education, got married, and settled on his own farm.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the war broke out, he joined the Army of the Potomac. He ended up trained a sniper protecting Washington DC. It was in an attack against Washington that he lost his foot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commissioned out of the army.<\/span><\/p>\n

He moved his family out west, seeking cheap land and the ability to start again. For years they prospered, but when a drought hit the area he began to lose crop and not be able to pay back the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

When he fails to pay, two of Hollander\u2019s men set his barn on fire. The next morning, as Evans and his two sons drive their herd, they stumble upon outlaw Ben Wade and his gang who are using Evans\u2019 cattle to block the road and ambush an armored stagecoach staffed by Pinkerton agents. As Wade loots the stage, Wade discovers Evans and his two sons watching from the hills. Acknowledging that they pose no threat to him and his gang, Wade takes their horses telling Evans that he will leave them tied up on the road to Bisbee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wade travels with his gang to the town of Bisbee to enjoy a celebratory drink at the local saloon. Evans eventually arrives with lawmen from Bisbee and tries in vain to negotiate with Hollander. Enraged at the loss of his livelihood and land, Evans tries confronting Hollander in the nearby saloon. Evans instead encounters Wade, whom he distracts long enough for the railroad guards to ambush and arrest him.<\/span><\/p>\n

The coach\u2019s owner, Grayson Butterfield, enlists McElroy, Potter, Tucker, one of Hollander\u2019s guards, and Evans, who agrees for a $200 fee to deliver Wade for arrest. From Evans\u2019 ranch, McElroy arranges a decoy wagon to distract Wade\u2019s gang, now led by Charlie Prince. The real prisoner transport charts a course for Contention, where Wade will be put on the 3:10 afternoon train to Yuma Territorial Prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the journey, Wade kills Tucker with a fork he stole from the ranch and later McElroy by throwing him off a cliff. William, Evans\u2019 oldest son, who had been following the group all the way from the ranch, intercepts Wade. While taking a shortcut through a canyon, the group is attacked by Apaches. Wade kills the attackers and escapes to a Chinese laborer construction camp, where the foreman captures him. Evans, William, Potter and Butterfield appear and regain custody of their prisoner, but Potter is killed in the process. The group arrives in Contention hours before the train\u2019s arrival time and check into a hotel, where several local marshals join them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wade\u2019s gang members ambush the decoy wagon and interrogate the lone survivor. They learn that Wade is being delivered to Contention. Upon their arrival, they offer a reward to any citizen who helps them free Wade, and numerous men volunteer. This triggers a mass resignation of everyone escorting Wade to the train with the exception of Evans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Evans escorts Wade out of the hotel, and the two make their way across town as they evade continuous gunfire from the townsmen. Wade surprises Evans and nearly strangles him, but relents when Evans reveals that delivering Wade to the train was not just about the money, but to restore his own sense of honor. The only Civil War battle Evans had been involved in was a retreat, and his injury was sustained through friendly fire, a fact that had humiliated him ever since. Delivering Wade would restore his family\u2019s finances, guarantee their futures and serve as an accomplishment that his sons could remember well. But Evans is contracted only to successfully deliver his prisoner to the train. In light of this knowledge, Wade agrees to board the train, allowing Evans\u2019 contract to be fulfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Wade\u2019s gang members know nothing of this arrangement. As Wade finally boards, he congratulates Evans. At that moment, Prince walks up from behind and mortally shoots Evans despite Wade\u2019s order to stop. Wade steps off the train and catches the gun belt Prince tosses him. Wade abruptly executes Prince along with the rest of his gang.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
