1
00:00:01,378 --> 00:00:03,986
Previously on AMC's Hell on Wheels...
2
00:00:04,106 --> 00:00:06,027
He raped and murdered my wife.
3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,916
This is a pardon.
4
00:00:08,036 --> 00:00:10,132
Get this railroad under control.
5
00:00:10,252 --> 00:00:11,664
And the race is on, gentlemen.
6
00:00:11,937 --> 00:00:13,894
You murdered my Chief of Police.
7
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:14,729
He done it.
8
00:00:14,849 --> 00:00:16,835
You do not make exceptions to the law.
9
00:00:17,129 --> 00:00:18,730
We must teach you the gospel principles.
10
00:00:18,911 --> 00:00:21,233
Moving this town is more important
than finding the baby?
11
00:00:21,353 --> 00:00:23,648
- Where's my baby?
- Can't tell you if he's dead, now, can he?
12
00:00:23,768 --> 00:00:25,444
Come back to Hell on Wheels,
and I'll hang you both.
13
00:00:25,564 --> 00:00:28,679
Cullen Bohannon is not the man
you have painted him as.
14
00:00:28,799 --> 00:00:31,543
What do you know about him that I don't?

Papa?

Oh!
57
00:03:08,072 --> 00:03:10,073
Joseph!
58
00:03:22,019 --> 00:03:23,353
Ah! Help!
59
00:03:23,387 --> 00:03:26,389
Mr. Anderson?
60
00:03:26,424 --> 00:03:28,858
Help!
61
00:03:35,633 --> 00:03:38,167
Oh!
62
00:03:42,072 --> 00:03:44,073
Run, Ez--
63
00:04:04,295 --> 00:04:07,163
Ezra!
64
00:04:07,197 --> 00:04:10,066
I'll find you, Ezra!
65
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,101
Huh!
66
00:04:17,341 --> 00:04:19,842
I always do.
67
00:04:51,777 --> 00:04:54,231
What in the hell is going on?
68
00:04:56,982 --> 00:04:58,650
Ah!
69
00:05:00,602 --> 00:05:02,116
Come on, get off him.
70
00:05:05,146 --> 00:05:08,003
Hold on!
Get off him!
71
00:05:08,123 --> 00:05:09,357
What in the hell is going on?
72
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:10,925
Huh?
73
00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:12,460
This cranky bastard
won't budge his animal!
74
00:05:12,495 --> 00:05:14,015
He's holding up me wagons!
75
00:05:14,029 --> 00:05:17,231
He won't move, Mr. Bohannon!
I tried.
76
00:05:21,136 --> 00:05:23,137
Ugh.
77
00:05:25,941 --> 00:05:28,176
Son of a bitch!
78
00:05:30,446 --> 00:05:32,280
What the hell?
79
00:05:32,315 --> 00:05:34,582
Had a broke leg.
See that swole up ankle?
80
00:05:34,617 --> 00:05:36,017
That's why it wouldn't move.
81
00:05:36,051 --> 00:05:37,752
That mule cost me $50.
82
00:05:37,787 --> 00:05:41,856
Well, I'm sorry for your loss.
83
00:05:41,890 --> 00:05:46,594
Help me get this animal
off the tracks.
84
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:48,530
Here. Unhitch this.
Unhitch that.
85
00:05:48,564 --> 00:05:50,198
All right,
we're all gonna lift him.
86
00:05:50,232 --> 00:05:52,112
And we're gonna swing him around
this way, okay?
87
00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:53,335
- And...
- Well...
88
00:05:53,369 --> 00:05:54,769
One...
89
00:05:54,804 --> 00:05:58,373
I see nothing has changed
around here.
90
00:05:58,407 --> 00:06:01,075
One less mule.
91
00:06:03,011 --> 00:06:04,879
One more jackass.
92
00:06:04,913 --> 00:06:07,882
Yes, well--
93
00:06:07,916 --> 00:06:10,552
Is there something
you want to tell me?
94
00:06:10,586 --> 00:06:13,755
No.
95
00:06:18,394 --> 00:06:19,794
Mr. Bohannon.
96
00:06:19,829 --> 00:06:21,896
I told you not
to come back here.
97
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:24,666
And I told you if I ever did,
98
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,169
it would signal a reversal
of fortune for you...
99
00:06:28,203 --> 00:06:30,204
and here I am.
100
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,815
You Bohannon?
101
00:06:43,486 --> 00:06:47,021
Grant, Ulysses.
102
00:06:51,527 --> 00:06:52,894
For God's sakes, this man is
103
00:06:52,928 --> 00:06:56,831
the next president
of the United States!
104
00:06:56,866 --> 00:06:58,199
If you come looking
for my vote,
105
00:06:58,233 --> 00:06:59,901
you've come a long way
for nothing.
106
00:07:06,675 --> 00:07:09,076
And I was sure
that I'd carry Mississippi.
107
00:07:16,452 --> 00:07:20,988
Well, uh, by order
of the court, this injunction.
108
00:07:21,023 --> 00:07:23,991
It requires you to cease
and desist
109
00:07:24,026 --> 00:07:26,728
all railroad operations
immediately,
110
00:07:26,762 --> 00:07:30,498
pending the outcome
of our investigation.
111
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:33,501
You're shutting down
my railroad?
112
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:36,671
For starters, yes.
113
00:07:36,705 --> 00:07:41,042
Can we at least move
the mule first?
114
00:07:41,076 --> 00:07:43,812
Yes. Yes.
General.
115
00:07:50,653 --> 00:07:52,654
All right.
116
00:08:06,635 --> 00:08:09,136
Huh, yeah, it is.
117
00:08:11,106 --> 00:08:13,107
Thank you.
118
00:08:25,187 --> 00:08:27,789
Mr. Bohannon.
119
00:08:27,823 --> 00:08:30,825
The board of directors
120
00:08:30,860 --> 00:08:33,561
for Credit Mobilier
is troubled by news
121
00:08:33,596 --> 00:08:36,664
coming out of Hell on Wheels.
122
00:08:36,699 --> 00:08:39,467
- What news is that?
- Allegations.
123
00:08:39,502 --> 00:08:40,969
Unseemly to our cause,
124
00:08:41,003 --> 00:08:43,070
and souring public opinion
of the railroad.
125
00:08:43,105 --> 00:08:45,306
As a publicly held company,
126
00:08:45,340 --> 00:08:48,776
dependent upon the government
for our operating capital,
127
00:08:48,811 --> 00:08:54,015
it is incumbent upon this board
to restore public trust.
128
00:08:54,049 --> 00:08:55,650
Best way to restore
public trust is to let me
129
00:08:55,684 --> 00:08:57,318
- get on with the work.
- And we will,
130
00:08:57,352 --> 00:08:58,953
just as soon as we determine
your fitness
131
00:08:58,988 --> 00:09:02,624
to continue as chief engineer.
132
00:09:02,658 --> 00:09:04,025
Mm-hmm.
133
00:09:04,059 --> 00:09:07,194
And you bring
Ulysses S. Grant here,
134
00:09:07,229 --> 00:09:09,697
to help you do that?
135
00:09:09,732 --> 00:09:13,868
As you know, the general
serves as secretary of war,
136
00:09:13,903 --> 00:09:16,037
and as such, is Washington's
representative.
137
00:09:16,071 --> 00:09:19,507
You mean to grandstand
for them photographers outside?
138
00:09:19,542 --> 00:09:21,009
I'll leave the grandstanding
139
00:09:21,043 --> 00:09:24,045
to the former head
of the U.P., Mr. Bohannon.
140
00:09:28,551 --> 00:09:30,217
Yeah, a criminal.
141
00:09:30,252 --> 00:09:31,786
There's a good idea.
142
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:34,856
Five weeks ago,
an appeals court in New York
143
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:37,224
overturned the ruling
against Mr. Durant
144
00:09:37,259 --> 00:09:39,961
for embezzling railroad funds,
so not only
145
00:09:39,995 --> 00:09:42,463
is he not a criminal,
146
00:09:42,497 --> 00:09:45,967
he has rejoined the board
of Credit Mobilier,
147
00:09:46,001 --> 00:09:49,070
and remains
its chief stockholder.
148
00:09:49,104 --> 00:09:51,039
Well...
149
00:09:51,073 --> 00:09:53,875
I got me a town to move
and a railroad to build.
150
00:09:53,909 --> 00:09:56,744
Ain't got no time
for a kangaroo court.
151
00:09:56,779 --> 00:09:58,780
You should make time.
152
00:10:16,305 --> 00:10:19,240
Mr. Durant,
you have the floor.
153
00:10:19,274 --> 00:10:21,509
Thank you.
154
00:10:22,109 --> 00:10:24,778
This is a competency hearing,
Mr. Bohannon,
155
00:10:24,812 --> 00:10:27,981
not a court of law, and as such,
the board has instructed me
156
00:10:28,015 --> 00:10:31,851
not to dwell on the murders
you committed,
157
00:10:31,886 --> 00:10:34,988
but I shall, for the record,
enumerate them.
158
00:10:35,022 --> 00:10:37,291
Uh...
159
00:10:37,325 --> 00:10:40,026
November, 1865.
160
00:10:40,061 --> 00:10:42,829
Four months after
the end of hostilities,
161
00:10:42,863 --> 00:10:47,033
Captain Ebert Nelson,
formerly of the 13th Ohio,
162
00:10:47,068 --> 00:10:49,936
gunned down in Dayton, Ohio.
163
00:10:49,970 --> 00:10:51,938
Private Buckton Prescott
was killed
164
00:10:51,972 --> 00:10:54,374
in a church in Washington, D.C.
165
00:10:54,409 --> 00:10:56,009
Captain Daniel Johnson,
166
00:10:56,043 --> 00:10:59,379
Union Pacific foreman,
murdered in Hell on Wheels.
167
00:10:59,414 --> 00:11:01,014
I think we get the point, doc.
168
00:11:01,048 --> 00:11:02,616
Nearly done, general.
169
00:11:02,650 --> 00:11:05,051
Lieutenant Wuster,
Lieutenant Tanner,
170
00:11:05,086 --> 00:11:07,854
sergeant Frank Harper,
all murdered,
171
00:11:07,888 --> 00:11:12,125
and all attributed
to Cullen Bohannon,
172
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:16,396
as enumerated
in Miss Ellison's article.
173
00:11:16,431 --> 00:11:18,064
Told you when I took this job
there's a lot of graves
174
00:11:18,099 --> 00:11:20,234
- along this railroad, Mr. Ames.
- Yes.
175
00:11:20,268 --> 00:11:22,502
But you didn't tell us
that you had murdered these men.
176
00:11:24,339 --> 00:11:25,539
Ain't nobody misses 'em.
177
00:11:25,573 --> 00:11:28,508
Well, be that as it may,
178
00:11:28,543 --> 00:11:32,579
the board is here to ascertain
your character, Mr. Bohannon.
179
00:11:32,614 --> 00:11:36,350
Your impropriety,
your penchant for violence,
180
00:11:36,384 --> 00:11:40,487
your innate lack of judgment
is what's on trial here,
181
00:11:40,521 --> 00:11:42,522
as the secretary will attest.
182
00:11:44,859 --> 00:11:47,494
For the record, it's his men
done the murdering of my family.
183
00:11:47,528 --> 00:11:50,830
General Grant is not
the subject of this inquiry.
184
00:11:50,865 --> 00:11:53,400
Maybe he ought to be.
185
00:11:53,434 --> 00:11:56,102
- You're out of order, sir!
- Calm down, senator.
186
00:11:56,137 --> 00:11:58,071
I suggest a ten-minute break
before we call
187
00:11:58,105 --> 00:12:00,707
our first witness, Mr. Chairman.
188
00:12:00,742 --> 00:12:02,743
Ten-minute break.
189
00:12:11,552 --> 00:12:13,253
Mr. Bohannon.
190
00:12:13,288 --> 00:12:14,954
What did you mean when
you said General Grant's men
191
00:12:14,989 --> 00:12:18,124
murdered your family?
192
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:19,393
Look, look, if I'm gonna write
the truth, I'm gonna need your--
193
00:12:19,427 --> 00:12:20,960
What truth?
194
00:12:20,995 --> 00:12:22,462
Yours, mine, or theirs?
195
00:12:22,497 --> 00:12:25,399
The truth.
196
00:12:25,433 --> 00:12:27,668
There's no such thing.
197
00:12:33,608 --> 00:12:35,642
Hand off that pistol.
198
00:12:35,677 --> 00:12:39,112
Nod if you understand me.
199
00:12:40,915 --> 00:12:44,150
You promised that if
200
00:12:44,185 --> 00:12:47,521
I provided you with information,
you'd protect me.
201
00:12:50,124 --> 00:12:52,659
I came from nothing.
Did you know that?
202
00:12:55,797 --> 00:12:59,466
There is nothing
in my heritage, my people,
203
00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:01,100
where they came from,
204
00:13:01,135 --> 00:13:03,903
their place in the world,
to give me even
205
00:13:03,938 --> 00:13:09,909
the slightest leg up
on what is to be my destiny.
206
00:13:09,944 --> 00:13:12,813
The school of hard knocks
was my teacher.
207
00:13:12,847 --> 00:13:14,087
And do you know what I learned?
208
00:13:14,114 --> 00:13:16,450
If Mr. Bohannon finds out that
209
00:13:16,484 --> 00:13:17,984
- I've been feeding you infor--
- That a man who is encumbered
210
00:13:18,018 --> 00:13:19,686
by what's right and what's wrong
211
00:13:19,721 --> 00:13:21,287
will never achieve anything.
212
00:13:21,322 --> 00:13:23,323
Are you listening to me?
213
00:13:23,358 --> 00:13:26,693
I am not encumbered
by what encumbers most men
214
00:13:26,728 --> 00:13:30,497
because I am not most men.
215
00:13:30,531 --> 00:13:34,468
I thought I saw
the same potential in you.
216
00:13:34,502 --> 00:13:37,504
If I was mistaken...
217
00:13:37,538 --> 00:13:39,539
you'll have no one
to blame but yourself.
218
00:13:43,478 --> 00:13:46,012
I will remind you, Miss Ellison,
that you are under
219
00:13:46,046 --> 00:13:48,582
a moral obligation
to tell the truth,
220
00:13:48,616 --> 00:13:52,719
as you know it, for the benefit
of these proceedings.
221
00:13:52,754 --> 00:13:55,722
I understand.
222
00:13:55,757 --> 00:13:58,692
You have written numerous
articles about Mr. Bohannon
223
00:13:58,726 --> 00:14:00,994
for the New-York Tribune
since your assignment
224
00:14:01,028 --> 00:14:04,364
- in Hell on Wheels, haven't you?
- Yes.
225
00:14:04,399 --> 00:14:06,132
You know him well?
226
00:14:06,166 --> 00:14:09,870
I-I don't think anybody
knows him well.
227
00:14:09,904 --> 00:14:12,972
Ah, well, keeps to himself,
does he?
228
00:14:13,007 --> 00:14:16,910
- That's not what I meant.
- What did you mean?
229
00:14:16,944 --> 00:14:22,248
Well, he's not
the chattiest person, and he's--
230
00:14:22,283 --> 00:14:24,918
- A bully.
- No, I was going to say--
231
00:14:24,952 --> 00:14:27,421
Didn't you write a story
about Mr. Bohannon's decision
232
00:14:27,455 --> 00:14:29,423
to hang the hatch boy?
233
00:14:29,457 --> 00:14:30,824
Yes.
234
00:14:30,858 --> 00:14:32,526
You described Hell on Wheels
235
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,230
as a Sodom and Gomorrah
of the Nebraska plains,
236
00:14:37,264 --> 00:14:40,667
with Mr. Bohannon as its lot.
Hmm.
237
00:14:40,701 --> 00:14:42,702
Well, surely you don't condemn
the chief engineer
238
00:14:42,737 --> 00:14:45,705
of the Union Pacific
for performing his duty
239
00:14:45,740 --> 00:14:48,742
and punishing the murderer
of his chief of police?
240
00:14:48,776 --> 00:14:52,011
You can, and you must,
241
00:14:52,046 --> 00:14:53,947
if you're not certain
that the man
242
00:14:53,981 --> 00:14:56,416
he lynched committed the crimes
for which he was hung.
243
00:14:56,451 --> 00:14:59,619
Are you suggesting
that Mr. Bohannon,
244
00:14:59,654 --> 00:15:02,388
in the name of
the Union Pacific,
245
00:15:02,423 --> 00:15:04,390
hanged an innocent man?
246
00:15:04,425 --> 00:15:09,162
The boy in question was
suspected of the transgression,
247
00:15:09,196 --> 00:15:11,397
but no one was able to say,
248
00:15:11,432 --> 00:15:14,300
definitively,
that he had done it.
249
00:15:14,335 --> 00:15:17,003
I myself thoroughly examined
his skull in the aftermath,
250
00:15:17,037 --> 00:15:20,674
and found nothing to suggest
criminal tendencies.
251
00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:24,310
And the boy was, what, 17?
252
00:15:24,345 --> 00:15:26,746
And quite devout, I understand.
253
00:15:26,781 --> 00:15:28,915
Mr. Bohannon asked me
if I'd had occasion
254
00:15:28,950 --> 00:15:31,818
to know what the Mormons
are like, as a people.
255
00:15:34,489 --> 00:15:37,023
How they might react
to being forced off their land.
256
00:15:42,663 --> 00:15:45,231
He asked me if I thought
they would fight.
257
00:15:45,265 --> 00:15:48,802
Hmm, sounds like
he wanted to fight.
258
00:15:48,836 --> 00:15:52,138
Not a fight.
It was a baby.
259
00:15:52,172 --> 00:15:54,674
Along with Mr. Ferguson, sir.
260
00:15:54,709 --> 00:15:57,744
And yet, it was Mr. Bohannon
261
00:15:57,778 --> 00:15:59,412
who gave those young people,
262
00:15:59,446 --> 00:16:03,683
your employee and her hapless
suitor, a pistol,
263
00:16:03,718 --> 00:16:08,254
and bullets, and left them
to die in the wilderness.
264
00:16:08,288 --> 00:16:10,189
He handed them a gun, yeah.
265
00:16:10,224 --> 00:16:14,360
Did you witness
this inhumanity?
266
00:16:14,395 --> 00:16:18,999
No, sir, um, but Mr. Bohannon
told me about it, yeah.
267
00:16:19,033 --> 00:16:21,801
Ah.
268
00:16:21,836 --> 00:16:24,004
- Bragging, no doubt.
- Bullshit.
269
00:16:24,038 --> 00:16:25,705
Again, sir,
you're out of order.
270
00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:27,440
Am I the only one who sees
what's going on here?
271
00:16:27,474 --> 00:16:28,808
What, Mr. Bohannon?
272
00:16:28,843 --> 00:16:31,011
A total mis-retelling
of events.
273
00:16:31,045 --> 00:16:32,278
Decisions had to be made,
274
00:16:32,312 --> 00:16:33,513
it fell to me to make them,
275
00:16:33,548 --> 00:16:34,981
the railroad
had to move forward.
276
00:16:35,016 --> 00:16:37,651
You're two weeks behind,
are you not?
277
00:16:37,685 --> 00:16:39,485
Over the decision you made
278
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,024
not to move camp while you
searched for a whore's baby.
279
00:16:44,058 --> 00:16:46,492
Or am I mis-retelling that?
280
00:16:48,596 --> 00:16:52,231
These are complicated issues,
Mr. Bohannon,
281
00:16:52,266 --> 00:16:55,401
with serious public
and fiduciary ramifications.
282
00:16:55,436 --> 00:16:57,470
And as stockholders
of this company,
283
00:16:57,504 --> 00:16:59,706
we have every right
to explore them,
284
00:16:59,740 --> 00:17:02,108
whether you like it or not.
285
00:17:23,898 --> 00:17:25,899
Hmm.
286
00:17:28,636 --> 00:17:31,504
So you was a soldier, huh?
287
00:17:31,538 --> 00:17:33,773
Where'd you fight?
288
00:17:33,808 --> 00:17:35,875
I marched with Sherman.
289
00:17:35,910 --> 00:17:38,945
In Mississippi?
290
00:17:38,980 --> 00:17:42,548
What the hell you doing
out here?
291
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:46,419
Looking for railroad work.
292
00:17:49,657 --> 00:17:51,791
You ain't never did
no railroad work.
293
00:17:55,663 --> 00:17:59,799
Was you with them boys
that killed Bohannon family?
294
00:17:59,834 --> 00:18:01,835
You come here for revenge?
295
00:18:05,973 --> 00:18:07,373
My brother was murdered,
296
00:18:07,407 --> 00:18:12,145
in a church,
in Washington, D.C.?
297
00:18:14,949 --> 00:18:17,784
- There needs to be a reckoning.
- Ain't gonna be none!
298
00:18:17,818 --> 00:18:20,687
'Cause you gonna be gone.
299
00:18:50,851 --> 00:18:52,518
Mr. Ferguson...
300
00:18:52,553 --> 00:18:55,789
is Mr. Bohannon,
formerly a killer--
301
00:18:55,823 --> 00:18:59,525
uh, pardoned, by law,
for those sins--
302
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,664
still, in your opinion,
capable of killing a man?
303
00:19:08,368 --> 00:19:11,304
I suppose he would kill
304
00:19:11,338 --> 00:19:13,506
if another man tried
to kill him.
305
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:16,509
That was not the question.
306
00:19:16,543 --> 00:19:20,013
Have you seen him kill a man?
307
00:19:25,419 --> 00:19:27,420
Yes, or no?
308
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:34,427
Yes.
309
00:19:36,330 --> 00:19:38,932
How recently, Mr. Ferguson?
310
00:19:44,004 --> 00:19:47,306
Recent.
311
00:19:47,341 --> 00:19:49,342
Recent.
312
00:19:51,578 --> 00:19:55,215
Eh, no more questions.
Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.
313
00:19:55,249 --> 00:19:59,152
I move we clear the room,
go into executive session,
314
00:19:59,186 --> 00:20:01,888
and vote on whether to retain
315
00:20:01,922 --> 00:20:05,591
or relieve Mr. Bohannon
of his position.
316
00:20:05,626 --> 00:20:07,861
All in favor of the motion?
317
00:20:07,895 --> 00:20:11,264
Aye.
318
00:20:11,298 --> 00:20:12,493
Aye.
319
00:20:30,153 --> 00:20:32,706
Here.
320
00:20:33,131 --> 00:20:34,498
What is that?
321
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:35,833
A contract, binding you
to the railroad,
322
00:20:35,867 --> 00:20:39,737
whether I'm here or not.
323
00:20:39,771 --> 00:20:41,772
Bohannon.
324
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,902
We're always the first to go.
325
00:21:11,937 --> 00:21:15,973
The saloon and the...whorehouse,
the last.
326
00:21:16,007 --> 00:21:18,442
Why do you suppose that is,
Mr. Bohannon?
327
00:21:21,112 --> 00:21:23,447
Sin takes longer to pack.
328
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:29,286
Anything else you need?
329
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,888
I'm sorry for my part
in what happened today.
330
00:21:30,922 --> 00:21:33,290
- No, you spoke honest.
- No, but I failed to tell--
331
00:21:33,324 --> 00:21:37,327
I am who they say I am, Ruth.
332
00:21:40,198 --> 00:21:43,701
I done every damn thing
they say I done.
333
00:21:54,679 --> 00:21:59,850
My father once told me...
334
00:21:59,885 --> 00:22:02,019
to put the past behind you,
335
00:22:02,053 --> 00:22:04,688
you must accept that
you've moved beyond it.
336
00:22:07,392 --> 00:22:09,292
I don't think you have,
Mr. Bohannon.
337
00:22:09,327 --> 00:22:11,695
The truth is, until you do...
338
00:22:15,166 --> 00:22:17,334
I'm not sure the railroad
can save you.
339
00:22:37,656 --> 00:22:40,558
The point of this was
to get Bohannon out
340
00:22:40,592 --> 00:22:42,726
and my son-in-law in.
341
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:45,462
You said Ames would go along
once he heard the evidence.
342
00:22:45,496 --> 00:22:48,198
He didn't.
So how are you gonna fix this?
343
00:22:48,232 --> 00:22:50,200
I am fixing it now!
344
00:22:50,234 --> 00:22:51,555
If Delaney isn't running
this road
345
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:52,970
by the time Grant is elected,
346
00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:54,905
we'll both end up
in Hudson prison.
347
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:56,840
I swear to God, if your family
348
00:22:56,875 --> 00:22:59,810
did not own half
the Boston waterfront,
349
00:22:59,844 --> 00:23:02,179
you would be working
in a fish shop!
350
00:23:02,213 --> 00:23:04,181
Here!
351
00:23:04,215 --> 00:23:05,816
What is this?
352
00:23:05,850 --> 00:23:07,084
A backup plan.
353
00:23:07,118 --> 00:23:11,488
And, if I may say,
a brilliant one.
354
00:23:11,522 --> 00:23:17,494
Your son-in-law will be chief
engineer by the end of the day,
355
00:23:17,528 --> 00:23:19,930
because Bohannon will resign.
356
00:23:19,965 --> 00:23:22,032
Are you sure Bohannon
won't sign this?
357
00:23:23,301 --> 00:23:25,368
So sure that I guarantee that
358
00:23:25,403 --> 00:23:27,237
by this time tomorrow afternoon,
359
00:23:27,271 --> 00:23:32,209
you and I will once again be
suckling on the railroad's teat!
360
00:23:32,243 --> 00:23:34,244
We'd better be.
361
00:23:42,654 --> 00:23:46,456
So, you want me to sign
this piece of paper,
362
00:23:46,491 --> 00:23:47,958
denying the things I done,
363
00:23:47,993 --> 00:23:50,594
which you pardoned me of,
364
00:23:50,629 --> 00:23:53,964
so you can tell people
I ain't done 'em.
365
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:56,266
And if I sign it,
I get to keep my job?
366
00:24:08,312 --> 00:24:10,748
Killing ain't that easy
to put behind.
367
00:24:15,419 --> 00:24:16,787
I don't expect men like these,
368
00:24:16,821 --> 00:24:18,421
who bought themselves
out of the draft,
369
00:24:18,456 --> 00:24:19,657
to understand what
I'm talking about, general,
370
00:24:19,691 --> 00:24:23,393
but I reckon you do.
371
00:24:23,427 --> 00:24:25,428
Killing ain't something
anyone is born to.
372
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,002
It's something we learn.
373
00:24:32,037 --> 00:24:34,672
And you're the one who has
to live with it when it's done.
374
00:24:37,475 --> 00:24:41,278
Hmm.
375
00:24:41,312 --> 00:24:44,447
I done a lot of killing,
376
00:24:44,482 --> 00:24:48,351
both during and after the war.
377
00:24:48,386 --> 00:24:50,020
Mr. Durant
and Senator Metcalf here,
378
00:24:50,055 --> 00:24:53,523
they'll call me a murderer
as it suits them.
379
00:24:53,558 --> 00:24:56,459
But no matter
what they call it,
380
00:24:56,494 --> 00:25:00,330
it won't bring back those men,
or my family.
381
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:07,604
Damn sure won't change
who I am.
382
00:25:07,638 --> 00:25:09,372
You're refusing
to sign the statement?
383
00:25:09,407 --> 00:25:12,676
I won't sign it
because it ain't true.
384
00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:14,444
I'm a killer
and a railroad man.
385
00:25:14,478 --> 00:25:17,681
You can't pick one without
choosing the other.
386
00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:22,152
Like I said, I make no apologies
for my temperament.
387
00:25:27,847 --> 00:25:30,220
- Mickey.
- Everything okay, Mr. Bohannon?
388
00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:32,775
I have never been better.
389
00:25:32,809 --> 00:25:34,643
The good stuff.
390
00:25:34,678 --> 00:25:37,979
No, from underneath the bar.
391
00:25:38,014 --> 00:25:39,715
Yes, sir, boss man, sir.
392
00:25:39,749 --> 00:25:42,651
Ain't nobody's boss no more,
Mickey.
393
00:25:42,686 --> 00:25:45,954
- Durant is.
- They fired you?
394
00:25:45,988 --> 00:25:47,823
I quit.
395
00:25:47,857 --> 00:25:49,391
What about the railroad?
396
00:25:49,426 --> 00:25:51,927
Durant will finish it.
397
00:25:51,961 --> 00:25:53,962
Shit, he started it.
398
00:25:57,934 --> 00:26:01,269
Did you know when you fed me
the story about Mr. Bohannon's
399
00:26:01,304 --> 00:26:06,274
involvement in those killings
that it would lead to this?
400
00:26:06,309 --> 00:26:08,310
Justice?
401
00:26:08,345 --> 00:26:11,847
You getting your railroad back.
402
00:26:11,881 --> 00:26:14,616
History is never kind
to men like Bohannon.
403
00:26:14,651 --> 00:26:18,053
Though that has nothing
to do with men like me.
404
00:26:19,656 --> 00:26:21,623
So what's left
for a man like you?
405
00:26:24,861 --> 00:26:28,364
The only and only thing
I ever truly wanted.
406
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:36,104
To be known as the man who built
the Union Pacific Railroad.
407
00:26:36,138 --> 00:26:39,341
That's all?
408
00:26:39,376 --> 00:26:41,510
Well...
409
00:26:41,544 --> 00:26:44,380
that's quite enough, thank you.
410
00:26:44,414 --> 00:26:46,415
Hmm.
411
00:26:51,521 --> 00:26:53,522
Tell me something,
Miss Ellison.
412
00:26:58,327 --> 00:27:01,497
Why aren't you further ahead?
413
00:27:01,531 --> 00:27:04,400
You are the most
widely read journalist,
414
00:27:04,434 --> 00:27:07,736
male or female, in the country.
415
00:27:07,771 --> 00:27:10,171
What are you doing out here?
416
00:27:10,206 --> 00:27:12,374
I go where the story takes me,
417
00:27:12,409 --> 00:27:14,142
Mr. Durant.
418
00:27:14,176 --> 00:27:16,077
No.
419
00:27:16,112 --> 00:27:22,083
You did something
to get yourself excommunicated.
420
00:27:22,118 --> 00:27:25,487
What was it?
421
00:27:25,522 --> 00:27:27,890
Involved with the wrong man?
422
00:27:32,429 --> 00:27:36,264
I'm here, as you already seem
to know,
423
00:27:36,299 --> 00:27:41,236
because of one small,
unrequited indiscretion,
424
00:27:41,270 --> 00:27:42,738
the sort of thing that wouldn't
425
00:27:42,772 --> 00:27:46,041
have warranted an afterthought
were I a man.
426
00:27:46,075 --> 00:27:48,176
Hmm, well...
427
00:27:48,210 --> 00:27:52,380
I believe that, my dear,
is the crux of your problem.
428
00:27:54,717 --> 00:27:59,287
I have met Miss Ida Greeley.
429
00:27:59,322 --> 00:28:01,757
She's very fetching.
430
00:28:03,626 --> 00:28:06,862
Were you a man,
I am sure that Mr. Greeley
431
00:28:06,896 --> 00:28:11,132
would welcome whatever affection
you felt toward his daughter.
432
00:28:14,170 --> 00:28:16,805
I wrote a story,
Mr. Durant.
433
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,643
As a result,
you got what you wanted.
434
00:28:21,678 --> 00:28:24,412
Perhaps you could tell
a story for me now,
435
00:28:24,447 --> 00:28:27,483
that would hasten my return
back to New York.
436
00:28:27,517 --> 00:28:28,951
Take advantage
of my relationship
437
00:28:28,985 --> 00:28:32,488
with Mr. Greeley, you mean?
438
00:28:32,522 --> 00:28:34,756
Oh.
439
00:28:34,791 --> 00:28:35,991
Would that I could,
Miss Ellison.
440
00:28:36,025 --> 00:28:38,927
Would that I could.
441
00:28:52,542 --> 00:28:54,175
Whiskey, please.
442
00:28:54,210 --> 00:28:57,412
We're closed.
443
00:28:57,446 --> 00:29:00,949
- Closed?
- Mm.
444
00:29:00,984 --> 00:29:02,684
Whatever she wants, Mickey,
on me.
445
00:29:02,719 --> 00:29:04,040
No, no, no, no, no,
that's fine.
446
00:29:04,053 --> 00:29:06,989
No, no, no, no,
you did your job.
447
00:29:07,023 --> 00:29:09,958
She told the truth, Mickey.
I admire that.
448
00:29:09,993 --> 00:29:11,660
If more people did that,
449
00:29:11,694 --> 00:29:14,429
the world would be
a better place.
450
00:29:14,463 --> 00:29:17,533
Give us a second, will you?
451
00:29:17,567 --> 00:29:19,501
To the truth.
452
00:29:19,536 --> 00:29:21,537
And consequences.
453
00:29:26,643 --> 00:29:28,043
You know how to two-step?
454
00:29:28,077 --> 00:29:30,211
- Uh, yeah.
- All right, let's do it.
455
00:29:43,492 --> 00:29:46,028
All right.
456
00:29:46,062 --> 00:29:48,063
- Ah!
- Whoa.
457
00:29:52,401 --> 00:29:55,470
Oh--what was that?
458
00:29:55,504 --> 00:29:58,840
I don't know, but I liked it.
459
00:29:58,875 --> 00:30:01,677
I ruin you, and you kiss me?
460
00:30:01,711 --> 00:30:05,513
I'm drunk.
461
00:30:29,405 --> 00:30:33,208
Elam, I'm tired.
462
00:30:33,242 --> 00:30:35,711
I got something
I wanted to tell you.
463
00:30:35,745 --> 00:30:38,513
What?
464
00:30:38,547 --> 00:30:39,915
Lookie here.
465
00:30:39,949 --> 00:30:42,818
What is it?
466
00:30:42,852 --> 00:30:45,087
Durant kicked Bohannon
off the railroad,
467
00:30:45,121 --> 00:30:47,022
but this piece of paper mean
I still got a job,
468
00:30:47,056 --> 00:30:49,424
- whether Bohannon here or not.
- Elam, I--
469
00:30:49,458 --> 00:30:52,260
Hey, hey.
470
00:30:52,294 --> 00:30:55,230
I ain't never expect
to have all this.
471
00:30:55,264 --> 00:30:59,001
You, the baby,
472
00:30:59,035 --> 00:31:03,371
the chief of police job.
473
00:31:03,405 --> 00:31:05,406
I got a future.
474
00:31:08,778 --> 00:31:12,614
But I want more than that.
475
00:31:12,649 --> 00:31:17,052
I want a house, with steps...
476
00:31:17,086 --> 00:31:19,788
and glass windows.
477
00:31:19,822 --> 00:31:23,191
A little garden.
478
00:31:23,225 --> 00:31:26,594
We got a girl.
479
00:31:26,629 --> 00:31:28,096
I want a boy, too.
480
00:31:40,076 --> 00:31:42,077
I want you to be mine, woman.
481
00:31:47,349 --> 00:31:49,350
I want you to be my wife.
482
00:31:57,026 --> 00:32:01,496
I want to marry you, Eva.
483
00:32:01,530 --> 00:32:05,400
Proper like.
484
00:32:05,434 --> 00:32:09,204
Elam.
485
00:32:11,874 --> 00:32:15,276
You gonna marry me, then?
486
00:32:15,311 --> 00:32:19,447
Elam...
487
00:32:19,481 --> 00:32:21,482
yes.
488
00:33:02,558 --> 00:33:04,760
Turn around.
489
00:33:07,196 --> 00:33:09,197
Slow.
490
00:33:18,775 --> 00:33:21,342
Who are you?
491
00:33:21,377 --> 00:33:23,378
Jasper Prescott.
492
00:33:25,915 --> 00:33:27,149
Prescott?
493
00:33:27,183 --> 00:33:30,018
You killed my brother.
494
00:33:30,052 --> 00:33:32,053
Shot him dead in that church.
495
00:33:45,101 --> 00:33:48,069
You come here to kill me?
496
00:33:48,104 --> 00:33:51,873
Yes.
497
00:33:51,908 --> 00:33:55,877
Anything I can say
to talk you out of it?
498
00:33:55,912 --> 00:33:57,679
No.
499
00:34:05,021 --> 00:34:07,289
I am sorry for your loss.
500
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:35,650
Recent advances
in cranioscopy have
501
00:34:35,770 --> 00:34:37,437
proved that the human brain
502
00:34:37,471 --> 00:34:40,340
is the seat of character,
general.
503
00:34:40,634 --> 00:34:41,834
Phineas Gage proved that.
504
00:34:41,869 --> 00:34:43,503
You may remember
that he was the--
505
00:34:43,537 --> 00:34:46,172
Shouldn't you be getting back
to the fort, major?
506
00:34:46,207 --> 00:34:47,840
Let me quote just one item
507
00:34:47,875 --> 00:34:49,842
from the most recent
American Phrenological Journal.
508
00:34:49,877 --> 00:34:53,146
I believe you will see the value
of craniometry in the building--
509
00:34:53,180 --> 00:34:56,816
You may not.
Barkeep!
510
00:34:56,850 --> 00:34:59,019
This beer or horse piss?
511
00:34:59,053 --> 00:35:02,355
Actually, sir, we ran out
of our better dark lager
512
00:35:02,390 --> 00:35:04,891
sometime last week.
513
00:35:07,028 --> 00:35:09,029
- Mickey.
- Huh?
514
00:35:11,532 --> 00:35:15,035
After what you've been
through today,
515
00:35:15,069 --> 00:35:17,070
you've earned this.
516
00:35:24,678 --> 00:35:26,679
I'll meet you back
at the train.
517
00:35:35,889 --> 00:35:37,991
Mm.
518
00:35:42,129 --> 00:35:46,099
- Yeah?
- Damn, I miss that.
519
00:35:51,272 --> 00:35:53,406
You know the problem
with being me?
520
00:35:53,441 --> 00:35:57,444
Can't be no worse
than being me.
521
00:35:57,478 --> 00:36:00,746
Everyone knows I'm a drunk,
522
00:36:00,781 --> 00:36:03,450
and I've been told you can't
make it to the white house
523
00:36:03,484 --> 00:36:07,220
on the back of a pink elephant.
524
00:36:07,254 --> 00:36:11,724
You mean you can't drink
in public?
525
00:36:11,758 --> 00:36:14,560
Shit.
526
00:36:14,595 --> 00:36:19,099
Well, may be best
you don't run for president.
527
00:36:20,767 --> 00:36:24,937
It's too late for that.
528
00:36:24,972 --> 00:36:27,240
Well, general...
529
00:36:27,274 --> 00:36:32,445
I think maybe you're in need
of a good snipe hunt.
530
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,649
I've been known to enjoy
a good snipe hunt now and again.

They call me, "The Butcher."
Did you know that, Bohannon?
546
00:38:39,406 --> 00:38:40,873
Mm-hmm.
547
00:38:40,907 --> 00:38:42,775
On account of the men
who died by my orders.
548
00:38:42,809 --> 00:38:44,210
300,000 in all.
549
00:38:44,245 --> 00:38:50,082
Men, fathers, sons, brothers.
All dead.
550
00:38:50,117 --> 00:38:53,486
Thanks to me.
551
00:38:53,521 --> 00:38:56,456
Of course, those who gave me
that moniker also thanked me,
552
00:38:56,490 --> 00:39:01,127
publicly and privately,
for winning their ugly war,
553
00:39:01,162 --> 00:39:03,663
and keeping them out of it.
554
00:39:03,697 --> 00:39:05,698
Yeah.
555
00:39:10,137 --> 00:39:11,937
What?
556
00:39:11,972 --> 00:39:16,309
What I wouldn't give to be this
close to you three years ago
557
00:39:16,343 --> 00:39:20,846
with a griswold in my hand.
558
00:39:20,881 --> 00:39:25,518
That pistol was one damn
unreliable piece.
559
00:39:25,553 --> 00:39:28,754
Mm.
560
00:39:28,789 --> 00:39:32,958
Always worked when I needed it.
561
00:39:32,993 --> 00:39:34,460
I consider myself lucky, then,
562
00:39:34,495 --> 00:39:38,498
that your killing days
are behind you.
563
00:39:38,532 --> 00:39:39,865
Yeah.
564
00:39:39,900 --> 00:39:41,967
I need you to finish
this railroad,
565
00:39:42,002 --> 00:39:45,104
not that shifty
sack of shit Durant.
566
00:39:45,138 --> 00:39:47,807
I need a soldier
to win this battle.
567
00:39:47,841 --> 00:39:50,810
I will pull whatever strings
I need to in Washington.
568
00:39:50,844 --> 00:39:54,280
You reach Cheyenne in 20 days,
on time, on budget,
569
00:39:54,315 --> 00:39:57,450
and I will convince congress
to reinstate you permanently
570
00:39:57,484 --> 00:39:58,718
till you can join up with
571
00:39:58,752 --> 00:40:01,153
Huntington and
the Central Pacific.
572
00:40:01,188 --> 00:40:03,189
General, I--
573
00:40:08,061 --> 00:40:10,863
- What about Durant?
- You let me worry about Durant.
574
00:40:10,897 --> 00:40:13,533
A northern general,
southern soldier,
575
00:40:13,567 --> 00:40:16,302
working together to unify
these United States.
576
00:40:16,337 --> 00:40:18,571
It's what the country needs.
577
00:40:20,574 --> 00:40:24,043
Well, where the hell
is Cheyenne?
578
00:40:24,077 --> 00:40:25,978
I had the Bureau
of Land Management
579
00:40:26,012 --> 00:40:30,516
rename the town of Durant
to Cheyenne.
580
00:40:32,219 --> 00:40:35,521
- You renamed Durant's town?
- Yes, sir, I did.
581
00:40:41,562 --> 00:40:43,429
Oh!
582
00:40:43,464 --> 00:40:44,697
Does he know yet?
583
00:40:44,732 --> 00:40:46,098
- Nope.
- Can I tell him?
584
00:40:46,133 --> 00:40:48,768
Only if you agree to my terms.
585
00:40:52,038 --> 00:40:53,239
You're damn good.
586
00:40:53,274 --> 00:40:56,008
That's why I won, son.
587
00:40:56,042 --> 00:40:57,410
And that is why I will be
588
00:40:57,444 --> 00:41:01,581
the next president
of the United States.
589
00:41:01,615 --> 00:41:05,117
I'm smarter than I look.
590
00:41:05,152 --> 00:41:07,153
Are you?
591
00:41:11,992 --> 00:41:13,993
I don't know.
592
00:41:35,749 --> 00:41:39,151
This train is for railroad
employees only.
593
00:41:39,186 --> 00:41:41,187
You're fired.
594
00:42:19,828 --> 00:42:30,174
