"As I remember," "Robert warned you about laying track here because this area was prone to washouts." "Robert was right." "I was wrong." "Is that what you need to hear?" "Well, I've said it." "Now, this section needs to be re-surveyed and re-built." "Can you do it?" "Yes." "This is solid bedrock." "Yes, but that'll take longer." "You'll have to have your men work faster, Doc." "You get paid to build 40 miles of useable road." "If you build here again, it will get washed out again." " Well, it may not rain again for months or..." " Those are my terms." "Of course, you could always find another surveyor..." "Somewhere." "Excuse me." "GRIGGS:" "Black Moon, you're gonna answer for this, you know that." "I should have let my brother kill you." " You should try right now." " CULLEN:" "Hey!" "We've had enough killing for one day." "I don't suppose either of you are keen on joining me?" "To do what?" "What I came for."

"What about you?" "You don't need his permission." "He's nobody's master anymore." "Go if you're going." "Mr. Bohannon, you have to finish this." "What are you talking about?" "This." "What you came to do." "We came to kill the bastards who derailed the train." "We got 'em." "No one's gonna believe you unless you have proof." "You mean scalps?" "They're just gonna have to take my word for it." "I ain't bringing back proof." "Not even for $20 a head?" "Seems a shame leaving all this money lying around here for the buzzards, don't you think?" "My brother belongs to me." "Don't look at me." "(GASPING)" "(INHALES DEEPLY)" "REVEREND:" "I'm a sinner, Ruth." "You know that better than anyone, don't you?" " Father?" " No." "You let me finish." "I've been wrasslin' with God, Ruth." "And I honestly believe that I was chosen for a great mission." "And that's why I left." "But you failed." "No, I'd like to think that my work with John Brown may have helped in some small way to free the slaves." "(SIGHS) I didn't say John Brown failed." "I said you failed." "One drop of love..."

"Mrs. Bell, somebody's coming." "CULLEN:" "Mrs. Bell." "Mr. Bohannon." " What you doing out here?" " Surveying." "I'm helping Durant complete his 40 miles." "We killed the dog soldiers that murdered your husband." "I thought you should know." "So Robert's death has been avenged." "I'd hoped it would close the hole I feel in my heart." "Ain't nothing gonna close that, ma'am." "(CLEARS THROAT)" " Very impressive, Mr..." " Ferguson." "Elam Ferguson." "I suppose Mr. Bohannon sent you to collect the bounty."

"On the immaculate heart of the sweet virgin herself, I pray for mercy." "And I beg you to hear me out." "You shot me straight in me gob, Mr. Ferguson." "A shot that would have sent any man to his grave." "But praise the mother's son, at the last second an angel reached out" "and she flicked the bullet out of me neck." "I tell you true." "It's the reason I kneel before you now." "Let me show you." "Let me show you the hole." "Please, Mr. Ferguson." "Bear witness to a miracle." "As I wandered in the wilderness, like our Lord himself," "I came face to face with me ignorance and cruelty towards you." "And I swore to God almighty that if I survived," "I would come to you on bended knee and beg for your forgiveness." "Not me." "Her." "Come on out here." "Tell her you're sorry." "I'm sorry, lass." "Sorry as the sorriest sinner." "I should not have harmed you such." "All right, then." "FERGUSON:" "Go on and git." "MAN:" "Black Moon." "Come down." "It's your father." "Father, you're safe."

"Whew, what a town." "Jeez." "Looks like you brought a bit of Chicago back with you." "Indeed." "Do you want to take a peek?" "On the house, of course." "Anything for Mr. Bohannon." "Nah." "Thanks." "Hold on." "Sean would like a word with you." "CULLEN:" "Looks like you been doing some business, huh?" "SEAN:" "Aye, we're packing 'em in like sardines." "How'd you pay for the extra slides?" "You win money in a fight or something?" "Yeah. 'Course, the..." "The Swede will want his pound of flesh." " He takes a cut?" " And then some." "What you want me to do about it, Sean?" "Here's the thing." "We're not the only ones being preyed upon." "All the merchants of Hell on Wheels are paying him off." "So?" "So..." "We took up a collection." "Everybody pitched in." "There's $100 in here..." "For you." "What the hell for?" "For killing The Swede." "I ain't no gun for hire." "All right, I tell you what." "I happen to know The Swede's been stealing from Durant." "Dig you up some dirt on him, and Durant will ride him out of town on a rail." "For free." "Ask me to sit down." "Go on, ask me." "Have a seat." "Now, pour me a drink." "Another glass." "Your health." "Tastes like shit." "You ain't much of a drinking man, is you?" "Gave it up." "Why is that?" "Last time I got drunk, I got into something bad." "Listen, I need to ask you something." "You know that bidness we had to attend to?" "You good with that?" "I'm better than good." "'Bout time I be the one who gets to do the hurting." "Besides, seem Mr. Durant done took a liking to my work." "He say he might just call on me when need be." "Durant?" "Better watch yourself." "That's a slick slope you're heading down." "Hmm." "Slick with blood." "Somebody else's, for a change." "For somebody who don't drink, you're putting that down pretty good."

"You're only interested in our quid pro quo." "If you insist." "I had the Pinkertons track down the Illinois man you were looking for." ""Whereabouts of Sergeant Frank Harper."" "JORDAN:" "Seems he's holed up at a trading post near Council Bluffs." "Your brother was the runt of the litter." "Smaller than all the other boys." "They picked on him and teased him." "He was always in a fight, but he never backed down." "It made him strong." "It made him a great warrior." "But not a great man." "He never learned, as you did, that sometimes it's better not to fight, and other times, you must fight the ones you love." "When I saw what you were wearing, when I saw what you had prepared for your brother," "I hoped that you would return to me." "(BREATHING DEEPLY)" "But now, I see in your eyes you are becoming your own man." "And so today, I mourn for one son, Pawnee Killer."

"(MEN GRUNTING)" "THE SWEDE:" "That's it, boys, almost there." "Break time's over." "Back to work." "Don't bloody look at it, sink!" "Nail crew, just get 'em nailed in!" "Clean-up crew, finish it."

"Yeah?" "Oh." "Pardon me, ma'am." "What will you be having?" "Well, champagne, perhaps?" "(CLEARS THROAT) What?" "(LAUGHS)" "Um..." "How about a glass of sherry?" " I love a good sherry." " BARTENDER:" "Ah!" "Brandy." "LILY:" "Fine." "Brandy would be fine." "CULLEN:" "It's on me." "May I?" "By all means." "Thank you." "(CHUCKLES)" "Not good?" "I've had better." "Yeah." "Well, you did it, 40 miles." "You said you would, and you did." "First time in my life." "Failed as a tobacco farmer, lost a war, now I'm a railroad man." "Maybe third time's the charm, huh?" "Maybe." "That first night we met, you told me I had no idea who you was or what you was capable of," "and you was right." "(LAUGHS)" "I thought you were some spoiled limey brat." "Yeah, I guess I got you wrong, huh?" "Well, what do you think of me now, Mr. Bohannon?" "Mrs. Bell!" "Mr. Bohannon!" "Doing a little celebrating?" "Well, you both deserve it." "What you did today was historic." "Thank you, Thomas." "Will you join us?" "I would love to, but there are a few issues outstanding that I need to discuss with my foreman." "Excuse me." "Black Moon." "You in here?" "Black Moon?" "You made me a pledge." "You told me you would win this war called the Union Pacific." "Today, you won a major battle." "You're a man of your word." "Thank you, sir." "I wanted to both congratulate you and offer you a bonus." "Oh!" "I don't need any more money, sir." "It's not that kind of bonus, Mr. Bohannon." "It's much more valuable than money." "Information." "You..." "You're Lieutenant Griggs, from the cavalry." " I heard about you." " Yeah?" "Well, I heard Black Moon was living in here." "You feel that Joseph led you astray?" "He needs to be made accountable." "You know, The Swede has been, shall we say, focused on you for some time." " Like a hound got the scent." " Mmm." "He just sent a wire to the federal marshals in Washington, D.C." "Claims he has evidence linking you to several murders back east." "REVEREND:" "You a family man, Lieutenant?" "Do you have a wife and children?" "I mean, what if someone killed your son and scalped your daughter and raped your wife?" "Would you stand idly by?" "They'll be coming to arrest you." "You telling me all this 'cause you want me to run, Mr. Durant?" "I'm giving you a chance to save yourself, Bohannon." "I don't know, could you..." "Could you find it in your heart to forgive him?" "Is he here?" "Not now." "Sure, I'll forgive him." "Right after I kill him." "We're..." "We're all held accountable, you know, one way or another." "(GRIGGS SCOFFS)"
