All language subtitles for Iron Horse s01e13 Town Full Of Fear

Uh, maybe we... Maybe we ought to talk
about this some more.

I agree with Will.

Still some things to be said.

Not anymore.

The talking's all done.

First is...

I didn't ride in here looking for any
trouble.

Look, I don't care what you're doing in
this town.

Let me have my horse and I'll ride out
of town. I'll forget everything.

I won't tell anybody.

Please.

Good afternoon.

I was just fixing myself a drink.

I seem to be as unexpected to you as you
are to me.

I'm sorry.

We're pretty far away from everything up
here.

We don't get many strangers.

Not many strangers at all.

Well, you have one now.

I'm going to need a room for the next
couple of days.

There aren't any available.

In this hotel?

I'm sure you've made a mistake.

You're making the mistake.

I said we don't get many strangers here.

And those we do get usually have a
drink, a bite to eat, and then move on.

Well, I'll be here a while.

My name's Calhoun, Ben Calhoun.

And from where, if I may be so bold?

I'm president of the BPSD Railroad.

Sure you are.

It's written all over you.

In dust.

Just another saddle bum, that's what you
look like.

I guess I do.

Then I suppose it's been a while since
clothes made man here in El Dorado.

Oh, to be sure. It is a sorry little
town, but it is home to us.

And only to us.

Why don't you ride on out of here?

Well, I'm afraid I can't do that.

I'm building a railroad through this
pass. As a matter of fact, right up the

main street of El Dorado here.

I'm here buying up land rights.

One of you might be able to tell me
where I could find a...

J .D. Temple, an R .J. Hogan, and an R
.F. Vega.

Why, this be Senor Vega right here.

Senor.

Pleased to meet you. The others are all
gone.

Vail here has taken over the Hogan's
land.

My name's McCrory. I work the temple
claim.

I thought all of the mines were played
out.

Oh, we still get bits and pieces.

It takes work and a bit of doing, but...

Will Bemis and his sister there who look
after our creature comforts, and so we

manage.

Well, you're going to do more than just
manage.

You're going to get rich.

You're going to be in on the birth of a
new town.

Hey, well, gentlemen, we're going to buy
Mr. Calhoun here a drink. We've got

something to celebrate.

I'll feel a whole lot more like having a
drink after I've washed some of the

dust off of him. Fine, fine. I'll
have...

Angie here show you to one of her better
rooms, and then while we're having a

bite to eat, you can tell us about all
that money that the railroad will be

showering upon us.

I'll do that, Mr. Crowley.

Oh, please call me Colin.

After all, can I be less than friendly
to the man who'll be making me rich?

Thank you.

You don't suppose that since you found a
room you didn't have that you might

also come up with some hot water that
you don't have.

He knew all the right names.

Hogan, Templin, Vega.

He knows too much about us. We know too
little about him. Well, he ain't no

saddle tramp.

Well, he ain't no railroad president.

The question is, what is he and what
does he want?

Simple as that.

We'll build a station, the people will
come, and the dead town will come to

again.

BPS indeed means progress and
prosperity, gentlemen.

You'll all grow rich because you're in
on the ground floor.

And it's too bad that Templin Hogan had
to leave town.

By the way, where'd they go?

Oh, um, they're all together just
outside of town in the cemetery.

All of them?

Every one.

And you're the lucky heirs.

Mm -hmm. We lucky few.

Well, then, here's to your good fortune.

And to you, Mr. Railroad President.

Now, shall we get down to business, and
shall I deal with you as individuals or

as a group? Oh, we'd like a little time
to decide on our price.

Good. I'll go out and look over the
property.

You know where it is?

I've got a map. Thank you.

First, eh, gentlemen?

Hold it, Colin.

Worried, Jim?

Don't be.

Colin, we can't kill a man a day.

Remus, suppose you let me decide that,
hmm?

Suppose you let us take a vote.

If you ever do that to me, I'll kill
you.

That's why I'd never do it to you, Jim.

I agree with Will.

It'll be the end of these killings.

I'm not asking you to do anything.

I don't mind drawing obvious, you see.

What do you think you're doing?

You were going to kill him?

I can't have him asking any more of
those questions.

You shoot him and you'll have a hundred
men riding in here asking questions.

He is the president of the railroad.

Why, so he is.

You're right, Angie.

I can't just shoot him down now, can I?

Lucky McCrory doesn't mind drawing all
the aces.

Well, we all can't be sensitive.

McCrory's doing what's necessary.

Maybe. But he enjoys it. It's taken so
long.

Well, gentlemen.

Ready to negotiate?

Or shall we wait for Mr. McCrory?

We're all partners.

Equal partners?

Of course.

And, uh, friends.

All right.

Then I'll put my cards out on the table.

I'll give you $5 ,000 for the right -of
-way across your plate.

I'll tell you the truth. To tell you the
truth, I like playing my cards a little

more careful.

We'll make it $10 ,000, five in cash,
five in BPS and D -star.

We're not selling, Mr. Calhoun.

Although knowing that you are indeed a
genuine railroad president, we're most

flattered that you came all this long
distance to make us so handsome an

Some hour or another, I get the feeling
that you've played poker before, Mr.

McRory.

All right.

I'll make it $10 ,000, all in cash.

No. We're not interested.

$10 ,000 bore you?

Beams?

Well, no, we're not interested.

There you are.

No.

I would have thought $10 ,000 would have
gone a long way in a place like El

Dorado. Oh, indeed it would.

But you've seen the town.

Where would we spend it?

That's right.

We're simple people.

You know those bits and pieces we told
you about?

They take care of our little needs.

And a lot of quiet living.

Well, now you got me over a barrel.

It's been my experience that the most
difficult man to deal with is one that's

satisfied with what he's got.

However, I'd like to try.

But $10 ,000 is as far as I can go.

Wouldn't do you a bit of good, even if
you could go higher, Mr. Calhoun.

Sorry to disappoint you.

We have.

Offered me a challenge, perhaps.

However, I think it's only fair to warn
you. The railroad is going through El

Dorado, one way or the other.

The hard way.

The easy way.

I'll put some towels in your room. Thank
you.

Mandy.

What happened?

Why, Mr. Calhoun offered us $10 ,000 for
a right -of -way across our claims.

And you refused?

We refused politely.

But with all the respect due a railroad
president.

Save your Irish charm, McCrory.

When Will and I came into this, we
agreed we'd all be partners.

And so we are.

Did you agree to any killing?

Nobody was killed, Angie.

And they're not going to be.

Will?

Well, we don't want no trouble, none of
us.

God bless Calhoun forces it.

Well, that's not good enough.

Tell me, Bemis, would you say now that
that was a threat?

Well, Angie, she ain't gonna cause no
trouble. Angie doesn't know her place.

I may have to explain it to her
carefully, hmm?

Lord, I smell coffee.

I'm still...

Something

else you wanted?

Yes.

I'm curious about you, Angie.

You're a young girl.

A very pretty one.

Why do you stay in El Dorado?

I've got no railroad to take me out.

My railroad brought me here, or almost
here.

Why?

Because it's a living thing.

It has to grow and expand or it'll die.

But my railroad's not going to die.

Does it have to build in El Dorado?

Afraid so.

The past is the only way through the
mountains.

Now you know why I'm here, but you still
haven't said why you stay.

My story isn't as interesting as yours.

My father was a gambler with a talent
for the wrong bet at the wrong odds. He

bet on El Dorado.

He put everything he had in his hotel
one week before the town went bust.

We had one good week four years ago.

And then he died?

How did you know that?

I saw his grave in the cemetery.

He died when the town died.

I've been running this hotel since then.
My brother's been working our team and

trying to put a stake together.

What about the others?

Ask them.

I'm asking you.

I offered them $10 ,000 and you thought
I offered them the plane.

They're dreaming of a big gold strike.

Here? Why not?

There was gold here.

And they'd rather have a bird in the
bush than $10 ,000 in the hand, huh?

A place like this does strange things to
people.

They've got a dream.

You're only offering them money for
their land.

They want magic.

And you?

Who can't use a little magic?

Let me ask you another question.

Would you sell me your land?

No.

Why not?

Because the others would never agree to
it.

That's that. I can't say that I'm not
disappointed.

Fortunately, money is still magic to
United Mining.

Now, I offered $10 ,000 for these few
little claims.

That's more than double what I offered
them for the rest of the town.

And when I don't exercise that option,
you and your friends...

Better have a pretty good story about
magic to tell.

I'm going to ride out and have another
look at what I didn't get.

Vega, go on, go.

As you wish.

Will, speak with Angie. Point out what
happened.

Is Calhoun leaving?

Yes.

But trouble's coming.

He's going to United Mining.

What do we answer when they ask why we
won't sell?

We wouldn't need no answer if you hadn't
stopped McCrory.

That would have been murder.

Look, we've got to protect ourselves.
Calhoun is a threat to us, just like the

last one who comes snooping around here.
The last one?

Will?

That saddle tramp.

Did he leave town?

You want to get out of this place just
as bad as I do.

How badly is that?

Will, what are you doing?

What have you done?

I've done what I have to do.

To make us rich.

To keep us alive.

It says private property, Calhoun.

Yeah, you've got it all marked off there
like it's valuable.

Point is, it's mine.

And it's not for sale.

You made an offer.

We refused.

You got no business being here.

I suppose not.

Except there's always a possibility you
might change your mind.

We're all partners, Calhoun.

And none of us are going to change our
minds.

It's true, if Calhoun goes to United
Mining, they'll become very curious

So, we can't let him go.

Colin, you can't shoot him.

No, of course not.

Of course not.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Why, Mr.

Calhoun, did you have a pleasant ride?

Pleasant enough.

Did you know your stable was full of
rattlesnakes?

Oh, they're all around here.

That's terrible. Your horse might have
been killed.

Yes, yes, he's still very nervous, and
I'm quite disappointed.

So I guess there's nothing left for me
to do but ride out of here the first

thing in the morning.

I'm sorry that we couldn't do business,
Mr. Calhoun.

Yes, it's too bad.

Rattlesnakes.

Aces.

Well, you can deal me up.

Calhoun's going to ride out of here
straight to United Minor.

All right, how are we going to stop him?

How indeed.

But why stop him?

Let's not be thick -headed.

We'll let Calhoun go.

We'll help the man on his way.

Did you forget something?

I came to warn you.

I guessed what?

They're waiting for you out there.

I figured they might be.

But why?

I offered them good money for dead real
estate.

Why does that give them any reason to
want to kill me?

Mr. Calhoun, I don't have any answers.

Call me Ben.

After all, you did come here to save my
life.

Just to warn you, Ben.

McCrory set a trap, a way of killing you
so that it'll look like an accident.

Where?

In the past, outside of town.

Your body will be found and look as
though you never even rode in here.

There'll be no embarrassing questions to
answer.

No threat to their secret.

You're going to find, Angie, that I'm
not an easy man to kill.

But I am a very stubborn one.

And I'll keep probing around until I
find that secret.

Now what? He never left the hotel.

I know that.

The question is why.

I have three answers.

Vail, Angie, Bemis. I don't know which
one of them talked to him.

But I have every intention of finding
out.

Hello.

Good morning, McCroy and Vega.

Y 'all come out to meet me? Julie, what
are you doing here?

Well, I'm delivering my supplies like I
get paid for.

And a week earlier, too.

Never thought I was going to get no
greeting like this here.

Julie, you're the cap on my morning. I
wasn't expecting you.

Haven't I got enough troubles? Get on
with you.

Well, I hope I don't add none. Get up in
there.

Get up.

We're going to settle this problem now.

Vega.

Now.

I told you, Angie, I don't want any part
of it.

Look, the three of us have to stand up
to McCrory and Baker.

How can we, Angie? I'm no gun hand.

Am I?

We don't have a choice.

All right, I'll try to talk some sense
into Colin.

He won't listen.

I'll make him.

Good morning, Angie.

Should I see you?

Muley. Oh, now, this here just does it.

This is the last time I'm going to hurry
up my schedule.

Why, you're always happy to see me as
the plague.

I was just surprised. I'm glad to see
you, Muley. Well, I accept that from

Angie.

Well, it looks like I'm just in time for
breakfast.

Yeah, you always are.

Good morning.

You're all bright and cheerful this
morning.

Don't believe we've met.

My name's Calhoun, Ben Calhoun.

Well, I don't know if this is a pleasure
or not, Mr. Calhoun.

You know, I'm in the freight and
business, too.

My name is Mutey Sims.

You figuring on running a railroad
through here?

Right up the main street of El Dorado.

Well,

I sure hope you don't run me out of
business.

There's plenty to go around.

Live and let live.

That's my motto.

It's morning, Calhoun.

When do you plan to leave?

My plans have changed some.

I could leave with this gentleman, but
I'll probably stick around a couple of

days.

You're not wanted around here.

I gathered that all right.

Angie, when you get around fixing my
breakfast, would you fix my eggs

up and smiling at me, please?

That's my chair you're sitting in,
Calhoun.

Back off, Vega.

Uh, tis an argument between these two
gentlemen.

Why don't you keep out of it, Vale?

If Mr. Calhoun here doesn't like our
manners, he's always perfectly free to

leave.

Vega, you sure got a burn in your saddle
this morning.

I think you got up on the wrong side of
the bed.

No offense, Lieutenant.

Your chair.

That's Bemis' chair.

You mind if I sit and be Mrs. Chair?

You're talking to me, Calhoun.

But right there.

It's been a nice, friendly fight up to
this point.

Let's just keep it that way.

Angie, uh, looks as if you'll be needing
some water.

I'll come and help you.

You handle yourself pretty good for a
railroad president.

Thank you.

I don't think I'm going to eat no
breakfast.

I'll ought to get the wrong chair.

You're hurting me.

Not as much as I'm going to. What did
you tell Calhoun?

Nothing.

You're lying to me. Did you tell him
about the mine, too?

I didn't say anything.

What are you going to do?

My plans haven't changed.

I told you this thing was snowballing.

You kill Calhoun now and you'll have to
kill Muley too.

We have no choice.

I do.

You really mean it, Mr. Calhoun?

I'm on the BP and SD payroll?

That's right, Muley.

If you want it. Well, I'm going to tell
you, sure. It's going to be a lot better

than hauling these supplies around these
ghost towns.

You know, there ain't no money in this
hill.

When did I start my first job?

Right now.

I want some information.

You say you used to work all these
mines?

I swung a minute picking all these
mines.

Of course, I was just getting paid a
day's wages.

I never even saw the main vein. I guess
it lost before I got here.

What'd they pay you for?

Well, to try to find again, I reckon.

You know, right there at the last,
United put more gold in the ground than

took out of it.

What about Hogan, Temple?

Their claims run parallel to one of the
big company shafts. They had a lot of

high hopes going, boss.

But it all proved worthless.

They left town the last I heard.

Did I say something?

Something interesting, as a matter of
fact.

Like the saying goes, Muley.

Gold is where you find it, hmm?

Easy, Jim, boy, easy.

If you'd spent some of that bad temper
on Calhoun, we'd have been rid of him by

now.

I'll be rid of him in an hour, Cullen.
I'm leaving and I'm taking my share.

But what's chewing at you?

You changed your mind about getting
rich?

The odds are getting too long.

All bets are off after you kill Calhoun.

Oh, no, it's still a worthwhile wager.

We haven't taken 10 % of what's still
here waiting for us.

Jim, have you forgotten all about it?

We're that far from a fortune.

Now, I'll spend Calhoun's life for that
kind of money, sure. And Muley's life,

too. And anyone else that gets in the
way.

Including mine?

Oh, Vale.

A chance like this comes but once.

Do you know what's waiting right here
for me?

Winter sunshine in the south of France.

A castle in Dublin.

Take in the air in Hyde Park of a Sunday
morning with royal nods for the likes

of Colin McCrory, gentleman adventurer.

I'm not standing in your way, Colin.

You keep on gambling.

But I'm telling you, that man Calhoun
has taken an edge off my greed.

You're settling for half a loaf.

That's the real difference between you
and me.

I'd rather have half a loaf than none.

Now we're going to split it up my way or
yours.

I'm genuinely sorry to see you go, Vail.

I'm genuinely sorry.

Why not?

We've had a good run together.

See you back in Scalp Lock. Tell Dave
I'll be back in a day or two.

Yes, sir.

Get up in there.

You could have left with me.

And gotten out far.

I don't believe you're afraid, Ben
Calhoun.

I think you're just stubborn.

Right.

But I think mostly curious.

And the reason behind it.

What is it?

Tell me.

All right, I'll tell you.

I'm not afraid anymore.

Not of McCrory or the others.

I'm so sick of threats and violence.

What about your brother?

My brother's a grown man, or he should
be. I can't spend my life worrying about

him. And you?

What'll happen to you?

It's already happened to me.

Now all I want is to get out.

Our fortune.

And it all belongs to United Mining,
huh?

I was raised on the dream of one great
golden discovery.

And on the princess who lived happily
ever after.

But I'm not a princess.

There are a lot of dead men who never
got a chance to live happily ever after.

I didn't know about the killing.

That was goodbye.

To Eldoretta?

No, to you.

Ben, get out of here.

This is a trap.

I brought you here, but I'm supposed to
signal them.

McCrory has my brother.

I made a trade.

Your life for his.

But I can't do it.

But you did do it, Angie, darling.

Will. True.

He's not a prisoner. As a matter of
fact, he's a liar.

Angie, I had to lie to you or you
wouldn't have brought Calhoun down here.

And here we are all together again,
partners.

And what with Calhoun dead and gone,
we'll be back on the high road to

Not that I enjoy shooting you down, but
you do understand our problem.

You sound like you're trying to get into
my good graces before you kill me.

Calhoun, you unlikable man.

I don't suppose I could bribe you now,
huh?

We've had an opening in our little
group.

No, no, that'd be too chancy.

You never appeared to me to be the type
of man who'd be afraid to take a chance.

I do pick my bets carefully, however.

And I never risk the odds with a gambler
as good as myself. We bet our sweat

against this fortune.

And we're not going to lose it.

We found a vein, pure.

A great drift of gold running right
through the gut of this mountain.

Except it belonged to United Mining,
huh?

To be sure.

And we could have gone to them, tis
true.

Excuse me, sirs, but we've discovered a
fortune in gold you didn't know you had.

We'd have gotten a thin thank you and
that's all. But instead, you see, we're

rich men.

And you're a dead one.

Angie, get away from him.

They'll kill me, too.

I've proved I can't be trusted.

Hello.

You've no way out.

At least let the girl go.

Benji. No.

They'll shoot me in a second. They just
want me away from you because I know

these tunnels.

Ben.

Follow this tunnel.

Keep bearing left.

Lead right into another that comes out
the other side of this tunnel.

We can strike a bargain.

There's truly a fortune here.

Enough for all of us.

I'm not greedy.

And he talked to Calhoun.

There's gratitude.

United Mining was giving them their
entire 90 % free of charge, except for

minimum rights.

How did you talk them into letting you
go free?

I threw them completely off guard.

Told them a story they didn't expect.

The truth.

Now then.

I think you were completely wrong about
your gold mine.

Why? Because your hotel is a gold mine.

It'll be worth a fortune again as soon
as the town comes alive.

And that won't be long.

Too many memories for me in El Dorado.

All right.

Then I'll buy it off of you.

You're going to need the stake when you
get to Kansas City.

Charity? Not at all.

Gratitude, perhaps.

But a good sound investment as well.

Thank you.

So, goodbye to El Dorado.

Aloha.
