The lives of two stoic cowboys and five abused Chinese women become intertwined in Walter Hill’s sprawling miniseries. Print Ritter (Robert Duvall) and his nephew Tom Harte (Thomas Haden Church) agree to deliver a herd of 500 horses from Oregon to Wyoming. Along the way, they rescue the young women--most still just girls--being transported to a brothel to have their virginity auctioned off. When the madam sees she is about to lose the girls, she screams at Tom, ”What about my property?” He shouts back, ”Thats the price of being a capitalist, lady.” Unable to overcome the language barrier, Print assigns numbers to the girls. Number 3, Sun Foy (Gwendoline Yeo) is the most fearless and perceptive of them. Though the others dont want to be called Number 4--an unlucky numeral in their homeland--Ye Fung (Olivia Cheng), the most tragic of the group, doesnt care. Targeted for her beauty, she finds herself unable to overcome the trauma. The number suits her, in her mind. Along the way, Print and Tom rescue Nola Johns (Greta Scacchi), the proverbial hooker with the heart of gold, who was forced into prostitution after her husband died.
