1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,936
Previously, on AMC's
"Hell on Wheels"...

2
00:00:04,602 --> 00:00:08,604
When those government inspectors
order you to rebuild,

3
00:00:08,706 --> 00:00:11,273
it'll cost you a hell of
a lot more than Ogden.

4
00:00:11,375 --> 00:00:13,609
Take Ogden, if that'll
put an end to this!

5
00:00:13,711 --> 00:00:15,611
Did you have a hand in Chang's murder?

6
00:00:15,713 --> 00:00:17,146
You don't leave
this room till I get back.

7
00:00:17,248 --> 00:00:18,480
I love you, Cullen.

8
00:00:18,583 --> 00:00:22,618
Grant made you Secretary of the Interior
to make judgment calls, not to...

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,290
You'll get your judgment, Mr. Durant...
but not today.

10
00:00:40,758 --> 00:00:43,291
Tell me you haven't melted
it down and sold it already.

11
00:00:58,575 --> 00:01:01,343
The Union Pacific
provides the final spike,

12
00:01:01,378 --> 00:01:04,079
the Central Pacific nails
it down, like we agreed.

13
00:01:04,114 --> 00:01:08,350
I agreed to hold a ceremony at
the location of your choosing.

14
00:01:09,019 --> 00:01:12,921
Collis, the heaviest thing you've
lifted to date is a dessert spoon.

15
00:01:14,458 --> 00:01:17,626
You think my masculine capabilities
are insufficient, sir?

16
00:01:18,128 --> 00:01:21,296
I think you'd rather not
answer that question

17
00:01:21,331 --> 00:01:24,132
in front of 200 of Washington's finest.

18
00:02:28,565 --> 00:02:29,965
Mr. Lee?

19
00:02:32,136 --> 00:02:33,536
Mr. Lee?

20
00:02:34,638 --> 00:02:36,938
Wake up. Translate that.

21
00:02:37,341 --> 00:02:39,341
Need sleep, bossman.

22
00:02:42,679 --> 00:02:44,079
Translate.

23
00:02:48,252 --> 00:02:49,652
Address.

24
00:02:50,554 --> 00:02:51,954
In Ningpo.

25
00:02:54,024 --> 00:02:55,424
An address?

26
00:02:56,927 --> 00:02:58,327
China?

27
00:03:03,367 --> 00:03:07,936
Ribbed with iron,
clad in silver, and crowned with gold,

28
00:03:07,971 --> 00:03:10,939
this spike will wed the oceans.

29
00:03:12,009 --> 00:03:13,409
Telegraphs

30
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:19,247
in every major city will buzz
to life with the knowledge

31
00:03:19,836 --> 00:03:24,286
America's transcontinental
railroad is now complete.

32
00:03:27,057 --> 00:03:33,057
At the fall of my hammer, the operator
will tap out a three dot transmission.

33
00:03:35,232 --> 00:03:38,466
The message?
One word...

34
00:03:40,671 --> 00:03:42,071
Done.

35
00:03:53,016 --> 00:03:54,416
Whiskey.

36
00:03:55,118 --> 00:03:57,118
You don't need
another drink, mate.

37
00:03:59,556 --> 00:04:01,556
Hair of the dog.

38
00:04:02,926 --> 00:04:05,594
- Give the man a drink!
- Pipe down, ya traitor.

39
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:07,462
What'd you say?

40
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:09,998
For the love of Josephine,
can't a man sleep?

41
00:04:10,033 --> 00:04:12,801
- Whiskey damn it.
- I called you a traitor.

42
00:04:12,836 --> 00:04:14,236
And we don't serve C.P. here.

43
00:04:14,504 --> 00:04:15,704
Call me traitor again.

44
00:04:15,739 --> 00:04:17,372
It's over, there ain't no sides.

45
00:04:17,407 --> 00:04:18,807
All right?

46
00:04:18,809 --> 00:04:20,475
Except the side of whiskey.

47
00:04:20,744 --> 00:04:22,744
Just give him a drink,
for God's sake, Mick.

48
00:04:22,779 --> 00:04:23,945
Ah, shut up, Patrick.

49
00:04:23,981 --> 00:04:25,213
I told you all, there ain't no U.P.

50
00:04:25,249 --> 00:04:27,315
and there ain't no C.P., God damn it.

51
00:04:27,351 --> 00:04:32,120
Oi, the hell there ain't.
Job or no job, I'm a Union Pacific man.

52
00:04:32,389 --> 00:04:35,557
Your pasty Mic ass'd still be down
a mine shaft if it weren't for me.

53
00:04:35,592 --> 00:04:37,392
Call me traitor again.

54
00:04:37,427 --> 00:04:39,027
Keep your voices down.

55
00:04:39,062 --> 00:04:40,729
I don't work for you, Bohannon.

56
00:04:44,468 --> 00:04:46,201
You mean the winning side?

57
00:04:51,008 --> 00:04:55,210
Hand to God,
the next man who asks me for a drink,

58
00:04:55,245 --> 00:04:57,012
I swear I'll throttle him.

59
00:05:07,624 --> 00:05:09,024
Whiskey.

60
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:27,535
Thank you, thank you.

61
00:07:20,123 --> 00:07:22,457
What the hell is this all about?

62
00:07:24,127 --> 00:07:25,527
Mr. Bohannon?

63
00:07:29,533 --> 00:07:30,933
Mick?

64
00:07:31,501 --> 00:07:32,901
I...

65
00:07:47,717 --> 00:07:49,317
Hell if we know.

66
00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:01,229
Congress requests your
presence in Washington

67
00:08:01,264 --> 00:08:05,967
to testify against Thomas Durant on
charges of bribery, fraud and corruption.

68
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:11,340
Well, shit.

69
00:08:40,425 --> 00:08:42,509
Hell On Wheels - 05x14 - Done

70
00:08:50,183 --> 00:08:51,649
I ain't going to Washington.

71
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,266
You've been summoned by Congress.

72
00:08:53,302 --> 00:08:55,535
You tell Congress I've
a railroad to see to.

73
00:08:55,571 --> 00:08:58,705
- Supplies to send West...
- The railroad is finished.

74
00:08:59,141 --> 00:09:01,274
President Grant is determined

75
00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:04,477
to see all those guilty of corruption
over its building punished

76
00:09:04,513 --> 00:09:06,146
to the full extent of the law.

77
00:09:06,181 --> 00:09:07,581
Uh-huh.

78
00:09:12,654 --> 00:09:17,123
You're not yet an old man, Mr. Bohannon,
but you are no longer young.

79
00:09:20,229 --> 00:09:24,264
I advise you to reflect
on what it is you decide to do next,

80
00:09:25,601 --> 00:09:27,567
whose company you choose to keep.

81
00:09:28,604 --> 00:09:33,206
Your subsequent venture will likely
determine the shape of your life.

82
00:09:39,047 --> 00:09:41,314
A subpoena is not a request.

83
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:44,284
A cavalry escort can be
arranged if need be.

84
00:10:07,976 --> 00:10:09,776
I'm buying out your
stake in the railroad.

85
00:10:12,581 --> 00:10:13,981
But I'm not selling.

86
00:10:15,117 --> 00:10:16,783
I've been indicted.

87
00:10:17,452 --> 00:10:19,686
News will hit the papers tomorrow.

88
00:10:19,921 --> 00:10:22,589
I want no record of your
involvement in the Union Pacific.

89
00:10:22,624 --> 00:10:24,357
I helped build the Union Pacific.

90
00:10:24,393 --> 00:10:26,893
You're associated with the Dead Rabbits.

91
00:10:27,362 --> 00:10:29,462
I'm compelled to cut ties.

92
00:10:32,367 --> 00:10:35,669
Your stock value by
tomorrow will plummet.

93
00:10:37,105 --> 00:10:41,274
Stick around, then you'll be
broke or in jail or both.

94
00:10:46,114 --> 00:10:47,514
I've buried bodies for you.

95
00:10:50,218 --> 00:10:54,154
I hope you don't want a
kiss goodbye, McGinnes.

96
00:10:54,756 --> 00:10:56,189
I'm not your father.

97
00:11:12,074 --> 00:11:13,673
I hope you hang.

98
00:11:24,619 --> 00:11:26,753
Eva, here you are.

99
00:11:27,022 --> 00:11:29,255
Sheets don't wash themselves,
Ms. Ellison.

100
00:11:29,291 --> 00:11:31,591
Need all the girls on their backs.

101
00:11:31,626 --> 00:11:34,327
Tricks'll dry up soon
as the workers leave.

102
00:11:37,007 --> 00:11:38,407
Hey!

103
00:11:38,467 --> 00:11:40,900
You want a roll, go round
the front, wait your turn.

104
00:11:40,936 --> 00:11:43,069
Oh, Eva, that's not a John.

105
00:11:43,739 --> 00:11:47,474
That's my editor from the Chicago
Tribune. He's very interested in you.

106
00:11:48,276 --> 00:11:52,312
- I ain't on the menu.
- No, he's interested in your story.

107
00:11:52,914 --> 00:11:55,048
He wants me to help you
write it, in a book.

108
00:11:57,586 --> 00:11:59,686
Folks don't wanna read about a whore.

109
00:12:01,156 --> 00:12:05,692
It would be a story about a survivor
and folks will love it.

110
00:12:05,727 --> 00:12:07,394
Folks will love you.

111
00:12:08,296 --> 00:12:12,766
- That ain't been my experience.
- This could be a way in for you.

112
00:12:15,537 --> 00:12:18,271
- Into what?
- Society.

113
00:12:19,374 --> 00:12:21,341
If that's what you want.

114
00:12:22,277 --> 00:12:24,010
Or anything, really

115
00:12:24,045 --> 00:12:27,414
A best-selling authoress
can write her own ticket.

116
00:12:40,529 --> 00:12:43,363
Slow down, Mr. Bohannon, pack light.

117
00:12:43,398 --> 00:12:44,964
I need you back in San Francisco

118
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,434
as soon as you're finished
with this Washington business.

119
00:12:47,469 --> 00:12:49,469
That well's deeper than you think.

120
00:12:49,504 --> 00:12:50,904
Careful you don't fall in.

121
00:12:50,906 --> 00:12:52,705
They're interested in Durant, not me.

122
00:12:52,741 --> 00:12:54,073
No, they're a hound with a scent.

123
00:12:54,109 --> 00:12:56,443
Once they've chewed through Durant,
they'll come sniffing after us.

124
00:12:56,478 --> 00:12:58,244
I'm ahead of that problem.

125
00:13:03,084 --> 00:13:06,119
It was you, lit that little bonfire
in the C.P. Depot last night, huh?

126
00:13:10,225 --> 00:13:11,891
I got something for you.

127
00:13:11,927 --> 00:13:13,660
To commemorate the Golden Spike.

128
00:13:13,695 --> 00:13:15,295
Only four like it in the world.

129
00:13:15,330 --> 00:13:18,131
Go ahead, put it on, Mr.
Bohannon, you've earned it.

130
00:13:21,303 --> 00:13:24,537
Once you're back in San Francisco, we'll
get started on the Southern Pacific.

131
00:13:25,373 --> 00:13:27,173
- Shortline?
- Uh-uh.

132
00:13:27,209 --> 00:13:29,688
She doesn't have the romance of the
transcontinental,

133
00:13:30,225 --> 00:13:31,639
but don't write her off.

134
00:13:32,414 --> 00:13:33,814
She's just beginning.

135
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:36,450
Plenty of roads to build yet.

136
00:13:36,651 --> 00:13:38,084
Oh, see that?

137
00:13:38,119 --> 00:13:39,953
Railroad man, through and through!

138
00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:50,330
All aboard!

139
00:14:30,422 --> 00:14:31,822
Thank you, sir.

140
00:14:35,765 --> 00:14:38,390
_

141
00:14:54,965 --> 00:14:56,431
Mr. Bohannon?

142
00:14:57,901 --> 00:15:00,735
Archibald Romans,
Senior White House Staff.

143
00:15:00,770 --> 00:15:03,404
I'm here to invite you to President
Grant's gala this evening.

144
00:15:04,274 --> 00:15:05,840
I ain't much for galas.

145
00:15:05,876 --> 00:15:08,343
In celebration of the
completion of the railroad.

146
00:15:09,212 --> 00:15:11,679
I come to testify, Mr.
Romans, not socialize.

147
00:15:11,948 --> 00:15:14,249
The President has asked for
you personally, Mr. Bohannon.

148
00:15:15,085 --> 00:15:16,485
Grant knows I'm in town?

149
00:15:17,487 --> 00:15:20,188
Your stay at the Willard
Hotel has been compensated.

150
00:15:20,223 --> 00:15:22,690
Might I suggest you get
yourself checked in

151
00:15:23,193 --> 00:15:25,426
and cleaned up before the soiree?

152
00:16:17,847 --> 00:16:20,815
I assume you've been
corralled into testifying

153
00:16:20,850 --> 00:16:22,417
at this circus tomorrow.

154
00:16:22,619 --> 00:16:25,920
I'm not at liberty to discuss
the hearing, Thomas.

155
00:16:27,023 --> 00:16:29,157
Congratulations on driving
the golden spike.

156
00:16:29,192 --> 00:16:34,095
I stand accused of bribing
government officials.

157
00:16:34,130 --> 00:16:35,964
That's officials like you.

158
00:16:36,666 --> 00:16:38,866
Now, I would advise you to say nothing,

159
00:16:38,902 --> 00:16:41,936
we're all in this together, Stephen.

160
00:16:43,106 --> 00:16:46,107
You've been away, so,
allow me to fill you in.

161
00:16:46,676 --> 00:16:48,076
You're poison in this town.

162
00:16:48,979 --> 00:16:51,079
And very much in this alone.

163
00:16:51,848 --> 00:16:53,514
Now, if you'll excuse me.

164
00:17:01,858 --> 00:17:03,458
Now these hands...

165
00:17:04,127 --> 00:17:05,527
Have built things.

166
00:17:06,830 --> 00:17:07,895
Ma'am.

167
00:17:07,931 --> 00:17:09,530
You're Cullen Bohannon, aren't you?

168
00:17:11,835 --> 00:17:13,368
The man of the hour.

169
00:17:14,070 --> 00:17:16,404
Quite an accomplishment,
this railroad of yours.

170
00:17:18,608 --> 00:17:19,707
Thank you ma'am.

171
00:17:19,743 --> 00:17:23,144
You're more handsome
than I ever imagined.

172
00:17:23,980 --> 00:17:27,548
You must tell me everything
about the Wild West.

173
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,519
They say it isn't safe

174
00:17:31,554 --> 00:17:33,288
for a respectable woman.

175
00:17:38,528 --> 00:17:39,928
I'm sorry.

176
00:17:41,631 --> 00:17:43,197
I'm not in the right place.

177
00:17:43,233 --> 00:17:46,000
Margaret, your husband
is asking for you.

178
00:17:46,036 --> 00:17:48,069
Oh, George, he's a bore.

179
00:17:48,104 --> 00:17:50,505
And he's helpless without you, my dear.

180
00:17:55,011 --> 00:17:57,779
Can't begrudge poor
Margaret for flirtations.

181
00:17:58,481 --> 00:18:00,181
That's her husband.

182
00:18:02,218 --> 00:18:04,085
Colonel George Armstrong Custer.

183
00:18:05,121 --> 00:18:08,456
Damn impressed with your accomplishment
on the railroad, Mr. Bohannon.

184
00:18:09,459 --> 00:18:11,092
Ten miles in a single day, was it?

185
00:18:11,795 --> 00:18:14,128
Well, had me one hell of a crew.

186
00:18:15,065 --> 00:18:17,732
You've the guts and countenance
of a good soldier, sir.

187
00:18:19,069 --> 00:18:20,501
Who did you serve?

188
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:25,139
I rode under General
Nathan Bedford Forrest.

189
00:18:28,078 --> 00:18:29,478
Confederate.

190
00:18:30,714 --> 00:18:32,114
That's right.

191
00:18:34,951 --> 00:18:37,318
Shit, I led the charge against
you boys at Bull Run.

192
00:18:37,354 --> 00:18:38,786
Had you outnumbered and outgunned,

193
00:18:38,822 --> 00:18:41,622
but God damn if you didn't give
us one hell of a steeplechase.

194
00:18:43,159 --> 00:18:44,659
Where I come from, an
ass-whooping amounts

195
00:18:44,694 --> 00:18:46,761
to more than a steeplechase, Colonel.

196
00:18:48,565 --> 00:18:50,365
Come over here, boys.

197
00:18:50,834 --> 00:18:53,134
I want you to meet the
Grayback son-of-a-bitch

198
00:18:53,169 --> 00:18:55,336
who built ten miles of
iron road in a single day.

199
00:18:55,805 --> 00:18:57,205
To Mr. Cullen Bohannon...

200
00:18:58,808 --> 00:19:01,109
Toughest whoop-ass on the
transcontinental railroad.

201
00:19:04,948 --> 00:19:06,348
Thank you.

202
00:19:17,327 --> 00:19:19,861
He looks at me and he
says, "What's a poodle?"

203
00:19:24,033 --> 00:19:26,300
- Oh, now.
- Oh, at ease, gentlemen.

204
00:19:26,336 --> 00:19:27,435
Mr. Bohannon.

205
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:29,437
You've met the Colonel, I see.

206
00:19:29,472 --> 00:19:31,806
Bohannon here was just
explaining the difference

207
00:19:31,841 --> 00:19:34,509
between a blood hound and a poodle.

208
00:19:34,544 --> 00:19:35,944
I got that right, Captain?

209
00:19:36,713 --> 00:19:38,746
Good enough for a Yankee.

210
00:19:38,782 --> 00:19:42,016
Have you boys heard how to tell
a good Yankee from a bad one?

211
00:19:44,053 --> 00:19:45,453
Mr. Bohannon?

212
00:19:45,622 --> 00:19:47,155
Why, that's simple, Mr. President.

213
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:48,823
All the good Yankees go home.

214
00:19:51,461 --> 00:19:52,894
Let's go get some real food.

215
00:19:52,929 --> 00:19:54,729
Yes, sir. Nice to meet y'all.

216
00:20:12,816 --> 00:20:14,348
Ah.

217
00:20:17,821 --> 00:20:19,221
Oh, yes.

218
00:20:21,191 --> 00:20:22,824
Go ahead, eat it.

219
00:20:23,526 --> 00:20:27,361
Those frilled dainties they're serving
up there aren't fit to feed men.

220
00:20:27,397 --> 00:20:28,797
Mmm.

221
00:20:29,699 --> 00:20:30,765
'Coffee'?

222
00:20:32,335 --> 00:20:33,735
Mmm-mmm.

223
00:20:35,004 --> 00:20:36,404
Now,

224
00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:39,307
if you brought me down here to
talk about Thomas Durant...

225
00:20:39,342 --> 00:20:43,578
Oh, I have a Senator who will testify
to taking bribes from Doc Durant.

226
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:47,181
Bad fruit left over from the
previous administration.

227
00:20:47,217 --> 00:20:49,350
I don't need your help cleaning house.

228
00:20:50,854 --> 00:20:53,154
- We just here for the coffee then? 
- Mmm.

229
00:20:57,727 --> 00:21:00,461
I'd like to make you a Colonel
in the Fourth Cavalry.

230
00:21:01,397 --> 00:21:05,266
You'd be the Undersecretary of the Western
Territories for the United States Army.

231
00:21:05,835 --> 00:21:09,504
Your job would be to protect
the railroad you've built

232
00:21:10,540 --> 00:21:11,940
from all present threats.

233
00:21:12,442 --> 00:21:15,042
- You mean Indians.
- All threats, Mr. Bohannon.

234
00:21:15,078 --> 00:21:17,144
Cutthroats and train robbers.

235
00:21:17,814 --> 00:21:19,747
Cattle rustlers along the Texas border.

236
00:21:19,782 --> 00:21:21,816
And, yes, renegade Indians.

237
00:21:21,851 --> 00:21:23,251
I ain't no Indian killer.

238
00:21:25,255 --> 00:21:28,956
You're smart enough to prevent
bloodshed where possible,

239
00:21:30,326 --> 00:21:33,394
and not afraid to get your
hands dirty when necessary.

240
00:21:34,430 --> 00:21:37,098
You'd report to the
Secretary of the Interior.

241
00:21:40,336 --> 00:21:42,603
Sounds like you're asking
me to wear Union Blue.

242
00:21:43,773 --> 00:21:47,174
I'm asking you to wear
an American uniform.

243
00:21:48,545 --> 00:21:50,411
Your country needs you, Mr. Bohannon.

244
00:21:50,446 --> 00:21:51,846
Don't deny who you are.

245
00:21:53,116 --> 00:21:54,516
I'm a railroad man.

246
00:21:54,517 --> 00:21:55,917
Bullshit.

247
00:21:58,555 --> 00:22:00,154
You're a soldier.

248
00:22:00,557 --> 00:22:02,757
Lost without a war to fight.

249
00:22:08,231 --> 00:22:09,631
Ah, damn.

250
00:22:09,766 --> 00:22:11,832
I've got to go make a speech.

251
00:22:14,637 --> 00:22:16,037
Think it over.

252
00:22:16,739 --> 00:22:18,139
Yes, sir.

253
00:23:08,496 --> 00:23:13,633
A backwoods rebel right at
home in the nation's capital,

254
00:23:15,903 --> 00:23:18,204
I never thought I'd see the day.

255
00:23:20,508 --> 00:23:22,541
Ain't nobody more
surprised than me, Doc.

256
00:23:24,012 --> 00:23:27,647
Never thought I'd see the day you'd be
itching for a train back to Hell on Wheels.

257
00:23:28,683 --> 00:23:31,584
They've turned a Senator.

258
00:23:34,022 --> 00:23:35,422
Several, probably.

259
00:23:37,291 --> 00:23:40,359
I don't know who, but
whatever hog they've got tied

260
00:23:40,395 --> 00:23:43,262
will squeal loud and clear.

261
00:23:43,698 --> 00:23:45,098
Mmm.

262
00:23:46,401 --> 00:23:47,967
You've gotten outta
tighter spots than this.

263
00:23:48,002 --> 00:23:49,935
Grant needs a scapegoat.

264
00:23:52,073 --> 00:23:53,939
I'm out of allies.

265
00:23:57,812 --> 00:23:59,545
Maggie Palmer was right.

266
00:24:04,318 --> 00:24:05,718
She was a good woman.

267
00:24:07,889 --> 00:24:09,289
I loved her.

268
00:24:22,003 --> 00:24:23,903
They brought me here to testify.

269
00:24:28,576 --> 00:24:30,576
Say whatever you want.

270
00:24:34,148 --> 00:24:37,049
Enjoy your newfound favor

271
00:24:37,985 --> 00:24:40,586
because it will be over in an instant.

272
00:24:44,792 --> 00:24:46,926
Those men you were
laughing with in there,

273
00:24:47,395 --> 00:24:49,261
they're not your friends.

274
00:24:50,932 --> 00:24:52,698
They'll bleed you dry,

275
00:24:53,768 --> 00:24:56,469
toss you out with
yesterday's newspapers.

276
00:25:26,834 --> 00:25:28,834
I came to cash out my 10%.

277
00:25:30,638 --> 00:25:33,706
I've got a big labor contract
at the docks in San Francisco.

278
00:25:34,909 --> 00:25:36,309
I thought you'd come along.

279
00:25:37,411 --> 00:25:39,345
I ain't a labor contractor.

280
00:25:40,381 --> 00:25:42,548
Well, we'll keep the whores, then.

281
00:25:42,583 --> 00:25:44,750
Hell, we'll import new ones from France.

282
00:25:44,986 --> 00:25:46,752
I've big plans, Eva.

283
00:25:47,388 --> 00:25:49,021
We're only expanding.

284
00:25:50,491 --> 00:25:52,525
We ran a good enterprise.

285
00:25:53,194 --> 00:25:55,494
I'll always be thankful for that.

286
00:25:56,531 --> 00:25:58,697
But we're bad for each other, Mickey.

287
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:01,167
Josie...

288
00:26:02,236 --> 00:26:04,036
- Shea...
- That was business.

289
00:26:06,541 --> 00:26:08,174
Come to San Francisco.

290
00:26:13,181 --> 00:26:15,915
We stick together, it's a matter of time

291
00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:18,617
before one of us devours the other one,

292
00:26:18,653 --> 00:26:20,319
and you know it.

293
00:26:53,821 --> 00:26:55,321
Here you go then.

294
00:26:55,756 --> 00:26:57,356
Good luck to you.

295
00:26:58,426 --> 00:27:00,826
Me leaving's the closest thing
we got to a happy ending.

296
00:27:00,862 --> 00:27:02,895
Sounds like you've got it all sorted.

297
00:27:08,536 --> 00:27:10,202
Don't go sour on me.

298
00:27:11,138 --> 00:27:12,738
See yourself away.

299
00:28:02,590 --> 00:28:03,990
The President will see you now.

300
00:28:15,503 --> 00:28:18,771
...property, and free
political opinion...

301
00:28:26,147 --> 00:28:27,947
You've reached a decision.

302
00:29:00,348 --> 00:29:01,748
Perfect fit.

303
00:29:02,149 --> 00:29:03,248
Anything else, sir?

304
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:04,684
No. No, thank you.

305
00:29:22,375 --> 00:29:23,775
Your name and title for the record.

306
00:29:24,500 --> 00:29:25,966
Cullen Bohannon.

307
00:29:26,802 --> 00:29:29,603
Stake-holder and Chief Engineer,
Central Pacific Railroad.

308
00:29:29,628 --> 00:29:31,028
Your current title, sir.

309
00:29:31,207 --> 00:29:33,774
Colonel, 4th Cavalry, U.S. Army.

310
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:35,710
I'll cut right to it, sir.

311
00:29:36,979 --> 00:29:40,047
Have you ever witnessed Thomas Durant
offer an elected official a bribe,

312
00:29:40,082 --> 00:29:43,283
in form of stock or cash in
exchange for favorable legislation?

313
00:29:53,996 --> 00:29:55,963
The transcontinental railroad

314
00:29:57,466 --> 00:30:00,701
could not have been built
without Thomas Durant.

315
00:30:06,108 --> 00:30:07,508
That wasn't an answer.

316
00:30:07,710 --> 00:30:08,976
I'll ask again.

317
00:30:09,011 --> 00:30:11,478
As a former employee
of the Union Pacific,

318
00:30:11,514 --> 00:30:13,847
did Thomas Durant ever
voice his intention to

319
00:30:13,883 --> 00:30:15,916
or offer any bribes to
an elected official?

320
00:30:17,853 --> 00:30:21,055
The transcontinental railroad could not
have been built without Thomas Durant.

321
00:30:21,090 --> 00:30:24,091
Mr. Bohannon, you have sworn an oath

322
00:30:24,126 --> 00:30:26,860
before this committee
under penalty of perjury.

323
00:30:26,896 --> 00:30:31,832
We have a dozen Senators on record saying
Thomas Durant attempted to bribe them,

324
00:30:32,468 --> 00:30:35,235
are you disputing their
account of the facts?

325
00:30:36,005 --> 00:30:37,905
The fact I know to be true

326
00:30:38,674 --> 00:30:40,674
is that the transcontinental railroad

327
00:30:40,710 --> 00:30:44,278
could not have been built
without Thomas Durant.

328
00:30:44,313 --> 00:30:47,047
This committee has the authority
to hold you in contempt, Colonel.

329
00:30:47,083 --> 00:30:49,283
You have the right to
detain me, Governor,

330
00:30:49,318 --> 00:30:51,151
but that won't change the fact

331
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,021
that the transcontinental railroad
could not have been built

332
00:30:54,423 --> 00:30:56,557
- without...
- Thomas Durant.

333
00:31:04,266 --> 00:31:06,200
Thank you, Colonel. That'll be all.

334
00:31:20,649 --> 00:31:22,750
The lecture circuit
won't know what hit them.

335
00:31:22,785 --> 00:31:25,619
First stop, Council Bluffs,
day after tomorrow.

336
00:31:26,122 --> 00:31:28,122
But the book isn't written yet.

337
00:31:28,390 --> 00:31:29,957
The book will come,
don't worry about that.

338
00:31:29,992 --> 00:31:33,460
In the meantime, your face tells
the story better than any book.

339
00:31:33,996 --> 00:31:36,463
Maybe we should
go over the details.

340
00:31:36,499 --> 00:31:38,665
Yes. Walk us through it, Mrs. Toole.

341
00:31:39,702 --> 00:31:42,035
You were headed West with your family

342
00:31:42,071 --> 00:31:44,104
when you were attacked by Wild Mojave...

343
00:31:44,140 --> 00:31:45,773
- Yavapai.
- Sorry?

344
00:31:47,476 --> 00:31:48,776
It was...

345
00:31:50,112 --> 00:31:51,879
We was attacked by Yavapai.

346
00:31:51,914 --> 00:31:53,380
Apache.

347
00:31:53,415 --> 00:31:56,817
Then they traded me to the Mojave
for three blankets and a horse.

348
00:31:57,253 --> 00:31:59,052
Three blankets and a horse.

349
00:31:59,655 --> 00:32:01,688
The price of a human soul.

350
00:32:01,724 --> 00:32:03,056
Great detail. Possible title.

351
00:32:03,092 --> 00:32:04,825
- Remember that, Ms. Ellison.
- Mmm.

352
00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:08,896
So, the Mojave marked your
face and made you their slave.

353
00:32:08,931 --> 00:32:10,631
No. Not exactly.

354
00:32:10,666 --> 00:32:12,399
How would you describe it?

355
00:32:15,571 --> 00:32:16,971
They...

356
00:32:18,541 --> 00:32:20,007
Everyone had marks but...

357
00:32:21,477 --> 00:32:25,179
The point is to let Mrs. Toole

358
00:32:25,214 --> 00:32:27,447
tell her story in her own words.

359
00:32:28,517 --> 00:32:29,950
Go ahead, Eva.

360
00:32:29,985 --> 00:32:31,385
We won't interrupt.

361
00:32:34,290 --> 00:32:36,190
It was hard at first

362
00:32:37,059 --> 00:32:39,226
because I missed my momma.

363
00:32:39,261 --> 00:32:41,428
But then I had me a Mojave...

364
00:32:46,135 --> 00:32:48,468
Had me a Mojave sister and...

365
00:32:52,074 --> 00:32:55,309
I'm sorry, this dress just
don't seem to fit right.

366
00:32:55,344 --> 00:32:58,045
But, the dress
is part of the story,

367
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,881
it indicates you... You've been saved.

368
00:33:03,953 --> 00:33:05,586
Saved from what?

369
00:33:06,856 --> 00:33:08,722
From a life of savagery, of course.

370
00:33:13,329 --> 00:33:16,897
The marked face and the dress, we
can't have one without the other.

371
00:33:16,932 --> 00:33:18,432
Not now, Ed.

372
00:33:24,340 --> 00:33:25,472
I can't do this.

373
00:33:25,507 --> 00:33:26,773
Eva, we'll get a different dress.

374
00:33:26,809 --> 00:33:28,508
No, it ain't the dress.

375
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,213
The railroad is finished, Eva.

376
00:33:35,050 --> 00:33:36,283
What else will you do?

377
00:33:36,318 --> 00:33:38,385
This is the best that you can hope for.

378
00:33:42,091 --> 00:33:44,024
Oh, God, I...

379
00:33:47,363 --> 00:33:48,763
I'm sorry. I...

380
00:33:56,105 --> 00:33:57,505
I love you, Louise.

381
00:33:59,408 --> 00:34:01,008
But I promised myself

382
00:34:01,043 --> 00:34:02,676
I'm done whoring.

383
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,747
Good luck in Chicago.

384
00:34:22,965 --> 00:34:24,898
You're one hell of a shot.

385
00:34:25,768 --> 00:34:27,501
Plenty of practice.

386
00:34:27,536 --> 00:34:29,202
Too bad for the Apache.

387
00:34:29,772 --> 00:34:30,971
That's where you're heading, right?

388
00:34:31,006 --> 00:34:32,139
Arizona territory?

389
00:34:32,174 --> 00:34:33,574
Ship out tomorrow.

390
00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:36,944
Apache women are turned on by gore.

391
00:34:38,013 --> 00:34:40,280
Fornicate like rabbits
once the killing's done,

392
00:34:40,316 --> 00:34:42,249
you barely have to force them.

393
00:34:42,818 --> 00:34:45,652
Got myself a few trap
trophies from Arizona,

394
00:34:45,688 --> 00:34:47,688
had 'em stitched into coin purses.

395
00:34:47,723 --> 00:34:49,123
No.

396
00:34:49,658 --> 00:34:51,825
It ain't that kind of assignment.

397
00:34:52,861 --> 00:34:55,362
Just bringin' a couple
of renegades is all.

398
00:34:55,397 --> 00:34:57,130
Grant tell you that?

399
00:34:58,133 --> 00:35:00,300
He's a politician, I suppose he has to.

400
00:35:04,073 --> 00:35:05,473
You're a killer.

401
00:35:06,175 --> 00:35:07,975
You know what happens in the fog of war.

402
00:35:21,957 --> 00:35:24,091
Got to go see to the wife before I go.

403
00:35:24,126 --> 00:35:26,193
Keep up with my conjugal duties,

404
00:35:26,228 --> 00:35:27,728
lest she turn to the postman.

405
00:35:28,564 --> 00:35:30,130
You got yourself a girl?

406
00:35:33,969 --> 00:35:36,169
That's for the best. Keeps you focused.

407
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,973
Don't worry about Grant's bullshit.

408
00:35:40,009 --> 00:35:41,808
You'll ship out, kill some Injuns,

409
00:35:41,844 --> 00:35:45,012
blam, blam, blam, then ride
back to Washington a hero.

410
00:35:45,948 --> 00:35:47,348
Nothing better.

411
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,054
Bless you, my son.

412
00:37:36,324 --> 00:37:38,924
How long has it been since
your last confession?

413
00:37:48,369 --> 00:37:50,035
Are you a soldier?

414
00:37:52,874 --> 00:37:54,740
It's all right, my son.

415
00:37:54,775 --> 00:37:57,776
No man is without sin,
but you can be forgiven.

416
00:38:01,616 --> 00:38:03,016
Do you seek salvation?

417
00:38:18,966 --> 00:38:20,966
Do you wish to be saved?

418
00:39:03,611 --> 00:39:05,011
Thank you.

419
00:39:06,380 --> 00:39:07,780
Thank you.

420
00:39:13,227 --> 00:39:15,228
Thomas Durant will invoke
his fifth amendment right

421
00:39:15,264 --> 00:39:17,564
as secured by the constitution
of the United States.

422
00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:22,335
Mr. Durant, we have sworn testimony
corroborating the charges against you,

423
00:39:22,871 --> 00:39:27,207
am I clear you are choosing to let these
charges go unanswered by you here today?

424
00:39:27,242 --> 00:39:28,308
Mmm-hmm.

425
00:39:28,610 --> 00:39:31,244
As is your constitutional right,

426
00:39:31,513 --> 00:39:34,781
so long as you're aware
the record of history

427
00:39:34,816 --> 00:39:37,417
will remember Thomas
Durant as a criminal.

428
00:39:38,186 --> 00:39:39,619
The record of history?

429
00:39:39,821 --> 00:39:41,454
That's right, Mr. Durant.

430
00:39:41,490 --> 00:39:42,890
My client will invoke his right...

431
00:39:42,924 --> 00:39:45,225
The record of history
will read, however,

432
00:39:45,260 --> 00:39:49,529
the handful of overfed
Senators in this room

433
00:39:49,798 --> 00:39:51,498
who choose to write it.

434
00:39:53,101 --> 00:39:56,069
I'm not interested in the
record of history...

435
00:39:56,104 --> 00:39:57,203
Mr. Durant, please.

436
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,106
I am interested in reality.

437
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:05,045
Not the one bandied inside
the halls of Congress,

438
00:40:06,315 --> 00:40:10,383
but the one I witnessed
with my own eyes out West.

439
00:40:12,921 --> 00:40:14,487
Five years ago,

440
00:40:15,123 --> 00:40:18,158
the American people, torn apart by war,

441
00:40:18,193 --> 00:40:22,095
cried out into the darkness
and turned a hopeful ear

442
00:40:22,130 --> 00:40:24,230
to the void for an answer.

443
00:40:25,467 --> 00:40:27,500
Americans needed a dream

444
00:40:28,403 --> 00:40:29,903
and I gave them one.

445
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,643
A transcontinental
railroad that would unite

446
00:40:39,414 --> 00:40:41,981
Dreams don't come pretty,

447
00:40:42,984 --> 00:40:44,217
they don't come clean

448
00:40:44,252 --> 00:40:46,386
and they sure as hell
don't come simple...

449
00:40:48,323 --> 00:40:49,723
They come true.

450
00:40:50,559 --> 00:40:53,059
Truth delivered by lies is no less true,

451
00:40:57,132 --> 00:41:02,335
and dreams made reality by falsehood 
are no less real.

452
00:41:05,173 --> 00:41:09,876
1,776 miles of iron track,

453
00:41:09,911 --> 00:41:12,178
that is what I delivered!

454
00:41:12,381 --> 00:41:16,549
Track upon which thousands
of wheels will now revolve

455
00:41:17,386 --> 00:41:21,388
carrying on their axles the
wealth of half the world.

456
00:41:22,691 --> 00:41:25,358
Final Destination, San Francisco!

457
00:41:26,328 --> 00:41:28,294
Drawn by the Iron Horse,

458
00:41:34,102 --> 00:41:37,804
announcing to the world
with its piercing scream

459
00:41:38,340 --> 00:41:42,909
that we are a great people who
can accomplish great things.

460
00:41:45,614 --> 00:41:47,981
Yet the American people,

461
00:41:49,084 --> 00:41:52,786
driven by their cowardly
representatives in Washington,

462
00:41:53,288 --> 00:41:55,288
are in need of a villain.

463
00:41:56,057 --> 00:41:57,757
And so here I sit,

464
00:42:00,762 --> 00:42:02,262
elected by you,

465
00:42:03,865 --> 00:42:05,265
to play my part...

466
00:42:07,869 --> 00:42:10,937
The part of the scapegoat.

467
00:42:12,474 --> 00:42:14,607
The patsy. Sent into the wilderness

468
00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:17,677
so that men sitting in this room

469
00:42:17,712 --> 00:42:19,813
can lay their sins upon my back,

470
00:42:20,081 --> 00:42:22,115
and claim they themselves are clean.

471
00:42:23,819 --> 00:42:29,022
Men enjoying immunity while
enriching themselves on the backs

472
00:42:29,391 --> 00:42:33,126
of those who sacrificed everything

473
00:42:33,161 --> 00:42:39,161
to make manifest America's destiny.

474
00:42:40,679 --> 00:42:41,745
Lives have been lost.

475
00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:44,047
Men have been ruined.

476
00:42:45,417 --> 00:42:48,685
I saw it, and I survived.

477
00:42:57,563 --> 00:43:03,233
I will not return from the wild
having made America's dream a reality

478
00:43:03,635 --> 00:43:09,506
only to have six bureaucrats
in starched collars judge

479
00:43:09,875 --> 00:43:13,743
the manner in which I
realized that dream.

480
00:43:18,217 --> 00:43:22,152
Put me on trial, lock me in prison,

481
00:43:24,590 --> 00:43:26,189
erase me from the record.

482
00:43:30,128 --> 00:43:32,262
For history is written in pencil...

483
00:43:35,734 --> 00:43:40,770
And the truth is carved in
steel across this nation.

484
00:43:43,809 --> 00:43:46,910
And one truth above
all others is this...

485
00:43:50,059 --> 00:43:52,159
Without me and men like me,

486
00:43:53,619 --> 00:43:56,052
your glorious railroad

487
00:43:57,222 --> 00:43:58,655
could never have been built.

488
00:45:06,152 --> 00:45:09,207

489
00:45:11,636 --> 00:45:14,480
<i>To everyone who made Hell on Wheels...</i>

490
00:45:14,505 --> 00:45:16,089
<i>And to everyone who loves it,</i>

491
00:45:16,114 --> 00:45:19,456
<i>AMC says thank you for a hell of a ride.</i>
