Part 3/8:
Upon her arrival in the city to retrieve her father’s body, Mattye quickly realizes that the systems of justice are not in her favor. With limited resources and a lack of support, Mattye takes a bold step into a world dominated by men. She encounters indifference from the local sheriff who explains that Cheney has little priority on the Wanted list.
Feeling frustrated and disheartened by the lack of action, Mattye learns of Rooster Cogburn, a cowboy known for bringing criminals to justice. But when she tracks him down, she is met with initial rejection—an indication of the resistance she will face in her quest.
