All language subtitles for Klondike.2014.S01E02.Part.Two.1080p.WEB-DL.DD5.1.H.264-BS

The klondike in October.

Two things are going
south right now...

...The weather and
people smart enough

To get out before winter comes.

Some, like my friend,

Never got the chance.

Death has come to the klondike,
seeking like the rest of us,

While we search out gold and
abstractions like justice,

Death only seeks more.

His instruments are many.

The land.

The animals.

And that most vile and
irrepressible of forces

To which man

Specially in the klondike

Has no defense.

Disease.

Yes, dollars!

Fifty dollars...
That's bogus!

50 bucks!

Any man who wants to give up

On his horrible toil, get
his claim off his back

I'm offering 50 dollars.

Wouldn't pay for the
equipment, soap,

You low grade son of a bitch.

God's own truth, but it's
better than being dead now,

Ain't it?

Well, take a look yonder.
What do you see?

Nothing. Same as
any other day.

What you don't see is what's
slowly creeping up the creeks.

Nervous fever.

Kill you like a hundred
men they already put

In the ground in dawson.

I'll take my chances.

I did mention the tlingit,
too, didn't I?

I guess, you just got to ask
yourself which is greater.

Chance of you hitting the
pay streak in one of these

Prospect holes, or the chance
the nervous fever get you.

Or the tlingit gets you.

You filthy son of a bitch.

You.

Yep, me.

Well, I know that look.

Shameless opportunist, right?

That my look or
your conscience?

I see it a whole different way.

I'm saving lives.

What do you say?

50 bucks.

Wouldn't get me 100 miles.

Which out here is just
another part of nowhere.

Gets you out of the radius
of the fever and the tlingit.

I'm offering you nothing
short than a ticket to life.

How about you step back?

Put a few paces
between us, friend.

Why don't you step back?

So I don't get any
of you on me.

No way to talk to a man
trying to liberate you.

Fine by me.

It's going to be cheaper
for me when you all die.

You do have a fine day, though.

Don't pay him any mind, meek.

It's not so much him
I'm worried about.

You've got to get
that looked at.

It's just my lungs
ain't agreeing with me.

They got to get to it fast
before it gets into your head.

As soon as your brain
stops agreeing with you,

You're done.

I'll hitch a ride into town
with gorna's team tomorrow.

St. Blase invoked against
diseases of the throat,

St. Achatius invoked
against headache,

Saint christopher, invoked
against storm and plague...

Enough.

What are you doing?

Moving them out.

Where?

Street.

They'll all die out there.

Well, they're going to
die anyway, right?

And until they're dead, I
can't have them on my land.

Your land?

The cheapest plot in town,
believe it or not.

What in god's name are you
going to do with a mortuary?

There's no hospital here.

These people have
nowhere to go.

Well, god will protect them.

Right?

Why are you so callous?

Prudent.

I'm being prudent.

I can't have infectious
disease on my property.

Well, then I'll take them

To my church.

You really think your
lord's going to protect you.

You think he's going to save
you from this nasty disease?

I'm already saved.

You're the dead man.

And not just in this life.

Well, I do wonder
about that, father.

This foundation is going.

The soil's wet,
but not that wet.

It shouldn't be
giving like this.

Tell that to the hillside.

I'm going to do some reckoning.

And by my reckoning, we
need more wood in a bad way.

World feeds off of itself
up there, doesn't it?

Man dies, birds get his flesh,
vultures get his boots,

Someone gets his claim
and I get a story.

Got that thinking
look on your face.

I was thinking about whoever
it was that turned tents

Into a city on a
chunk of what's a

Effectively a
typhus-ridden swamp.

Miss mulrooney, we got to talk.

Inside.

Without more wood, that
bench is going to give.

And that's eight weeks
of digging gone south.

I'm up against a vein.
I know it.

Miners are always
up against a vein.

If a tenth of them were right,

We'd be paving a road back
to the states in gold dust.

This claim is different.

That superstructure falls in on
itself... I don't know if I got

The ability to wait out until
spring to start building again.

By ability you mean money.

If you stake me
two cords for fuel,

30 pulls to shore
up the build...

He wants credit.

I ain't in the
business of charity.

You got a stake in
that claim, too.

That bothers you, doesn't it?

It makes you wonder
whether I had something

To do with epstein's death.

In terms of my
stake in that claim,

I have no interest in mining,
as I've always maintained,

What I have is an
investment in joe meeker.

And why is that?

He's a cousin.

He's a walking, talking,
two-legged labrador.

Don't need much more than
a bone to keep him happy.

If that bone is a half
a stake in a claim,

Ain't averse to keeping
joe meeker happy.

What if I put up my half?

Two halves of nothing.

That's just what I need.

A lot of speculation
about this claim.

And even if you
don't believe in it,

It'll sell for something
on the open market.

For more than the price
of the wood I'm asking.

You're either stupid or
you got way too much faith.

Hold it for a week.

That's all it's going to take
for me to get to that vein.

But after a week, if you
don't pay back the loan,

Capital does me no good
tied up there in the claims.

It has to be down
here in dawson.

These properties
are all too nice.

See, I don't want nice.

What I'm looking for is shit.

Shit that you can polish
up and then make nice.

That's real estate, understand?

Word with you.

I heard you threatened
the priest.

There will not be any
murder in this town,

Well, you and I both know
there's going to be a murder.

Lots that slips through
the cracks for us as a

We've got ten men to police
200 square miles of claims.

We've got to pick
our priorities.

That starts with the church.

That's another institution that
can help civilize this town.

Faster than you
know what hit you,

I'll put a cage around you.

I might not have
to kill him myself,

Superintendent.

God might do it for me.

You shoot my friend?

Why?

You're not going to get
an answer out of him.

But you can take solace
in the fact that one way

Or another he'll see justice.

A problematic word.

Justice for us is
hanging a killer.

Justice for them is maybe
fighting off people

All we get's a couple of
dead men. Who's the wiser?

That's a pretty
even-keeled response.

I'd think you'd be seeing red.

I'm seeing plenty.

Just not sure if it's here.

He wants to know
if you want some.

Says he prefers it to
the white man's water.

Must have been a hell of a shot

With a dead trigger
finger like that.

Ain't exactly made for
marksmanship, is it?

One way or another we'll
find out the truth.

Just a little higher.

A little higher. A
little over to the left.

The guy buys a mortuary and
now he's looking to add to it?

Up there?

Who buys a cemetery?

I don't think he
bought a cemetery.

I think he bought dirt.

I don't like people buying
dirt next to my dirt.

He's making offers.

Talking about
putting up saloons,

A hotel.

Let him.

Location's location.

And that up there,
that ain't location.

But it is dry.

Look around, people are
tired of living in the mud.

He's figuring a city.

A city built to last.

Front street isn't exactly a
model of sanitation now, is it?

That's why he's
buying up there.

Do you think he's planning
on making a new downtown?

That's exactly what I'd do.

Find out who he's talking to.

I want to talk to them first.

Tell them I'll pay
more than the count.

Count pays cash 100 percent.

You've taken too many
notes from miners,

Wood's ready to go up to
152, bill haskell claim.

Should we set him up
or wait on the roads?

We'll send him up.

You want to compete
with the count?

You got to sell that claim.

Which means whatever you do, I
would not bring him that wood.

Two more for me and two
more for my friend here.

Hey, this tastes
like horse piss!

To hell with them glasses,
just give me a bottle.

Give us a feel.

I know. It's kind of the
point, don't you think?

I prefer it be a bit
more classy than that.

So you have an opinion,
do you? Hey?

I just bought it off of you.

And the next one.

And the next one in your head.

Perhaps I can request that
we take this upstairs?

You see, now, to make
requests that requires you

To have an opinion.

And I just bought your
opinions, didn't I?

And the next one in your head.

And the next one in your head.

What do you want me to do?

You're a whore.

Take clothes off.

More.

More.

This is the klondike, love!

I don't see you digging!

That enough whore
for you, count?

No, not quite.

But I think we're
getting there.

I'm just kind of curious.

How much is enough
whore for you in a woman?

A little bit ain't
enough is it?

You, you want more.

All of you!

You want more of the whore?

Who will do whatever
you want...

...Let you do whatever
you want to her.

Enough.

The lady's done for the night.

Yeah, I think you'd know
not to interrupt a man

Who's spent money on a hooker.

You've been outbid, asshole.

Showed him.

You didn't show
him a goddamn thing.

Standing out there buck
naked in the rain

With money in your hand.

He's right, you're
a goddamn whore.

Now you give me that.

Don't you look a gift
horse in the mouth.

I just saved you.

Who said I needed any saving?

You shitting me, woman?

We all do what we do.

Now I need that money.

Please.

I'll do whatever you want.

Inside my coat
there's a pocket.

You reach in there, you
pull out that compact,

You open it up...

...Look.

See what you are.

You go to hell, bitch.

You righteous, rich, bitch.

Money, that's what
men have over you.

Once they don't,
they ain't got no sway.

And you get to keep
your integrity.

And that is worth a
whole lot more than all

The gold in this goddamn,
frozen shit box.

I'm sorry.

You don't say sorry to me.

You say sorry to yourself.

God may be a fairytale,
but the fear of god ain't.

You put that in her.

You understand?

It's a long way for the deputy
minister of the interior

To come, that's all.

We do tend to
hibernate in ottawa

At the first sign of winter.

The dawson problem is
apparently too pressing

To let wait until spring.

At least according
to my superiors.

Dawson problem?

As you know, the government
is encouraging companies

To come up here,
develop the yukon.

But said companies
are a little uneasy.

Word's gotten back,
justified or not,

That the natives are restless.

You want to scare a white
man in a corporate boardroom?

Tell him he's investing in a
land full of angry brown people.

So, obviously, they
need to be reassured

That there is the rule
of law in the yukon.

If they're killers,
they need to die.

But I'm not yet 100 percent
certain that they're the ones.

Then get 100 percent certain.

Good news. The tailor said he'd
talk to you about the property.

I know you don't want
the count to get it,

But don't offer the man cash for
that land. You don't have it.

Mcdonald, it's
belinda mulrooney.

Come in.

I appreciate you
seeing me, sir.

Mr. Mcdonald and I
were just finishing up.

It's not signed yet.

What if I offered you more?

The count's paying
me a nice number.

200.

300.

400?

Five.

You know, you should
really walk away.

You've pressed me
twice already.

I'm liable to become unhinged.

Six.

2,000.

Hah. You spend
money like that,

I wouldn't have to
worry about you.

You'd be broke.

Mr. Mcdonald,
if you please.

Nobody pays 2,000.

Only an idiot does.

And you're right.

Nothing is a far better price.

Now, I need to know
that I'm done with you.

Tell me that I'm done with you.

Yeah, I'm done with you.

Good girl.

Agh.

We're going for a walk.

Hit the bottle, please.

Again!

Again!

Playing lame, aren't you?

Let's put some real
stakes into it?

Now make the shot.

Make the shot like
you did that night,

Or he dies!

Make the shot!

It's all right.

Ain't enough to share.

I never killed no man, but you
don't give way to that wood,

I may have to start.

Don't make it about that.

You're going to have to
kill me, too, to stop me.

Pwah!

Haskell's asking for the wood.

In this weather?

Haskell's got way too much
faith in fellow man thinking

I'm just going to saddle
up and ride out into that.

Deliver him wood that
he wants on credit.

I ain't doing it.

I've got too much
else on my mind.

There's plenty of men
have died in the yukon

On account of the
wrong kind of courage.

It would be a shame, though.

He's a good one.

Don't you put that on me.

I don't put nothing on nobody.

I just talk.

How much firewood does he have?

Not enough.

Ed?

That's my husband.

What happened?
What happened?

He's still with us.
Don't worry.

You all right?

Get in the house.

Light, you son of a bitch.

If I were more of
a religious man,

I'd say you were an angel.

I've been called
a lot of things,

But never that.

What are you doing?

Giving somebody
something they need.

This ought to burn right.

The man tried to take an axe to
you and you still gave him wood?

It wasn't him swinging it.

Something inside of him.

Something the weather put there
he'd rather not have seen.

No.

Humph.

Goddamn.

Idiot, idiot, idiot!

Stupid woman!

Thinking I'd get back before
it went 100 percent to shit.

Wish I could offer
you something.

A hot bath would be
nice. A dry bed.

Like I said, I wish I
could offer you something.

Remind me never
do anyone a favor.

Dig someone out of a hole...

...You just end up putting
the dirt in your own grave.

We drink it when we
want to knock the

Sharp edges off the world.

It's going to be one of
those kind of nights,

Full of sharp edges.

Too damn smart to be
digging around in the dirt.

You know, you keep talking
to someone like a neophyte,

You're liable to alienate them.

All the better.

Then they don't get the
wrong idea about things.

And you've got, what, one
more season than I do up here.

One season is all
it takes to undo...

...5,000 years
of civilization.

Goddam has the
species regressed.

No...

...We've come a ways.

What do I do, father?

I'm stuck up here and I swear
sometimes it's hell on earth.

Well, between you and me,
hell's bullshit.

No fiery brimstone
cave under our feet.

No devil.

I mean, if hell's
real, it's right here.

It's when we start
believing that fear

Is something different
than what it is.

It's just a feeling,
that's all it is.

Bones buzzing, blood pumping.

And when you see that, you're
through the looking glass.

Can't steer you no more.

So, if there are only
two things in this world,

Love and fear, what are
you going to choose?

Love.

But I ain't seeing it.

But you do see the
fear, don't you?

Why people are doing the
things they're doing

Is because they're scared.

And when you see a
person like that,

When they're afraid, you
see the little kid in them.

You see the scared
thing inside of them,

And you can't help but...

Love them.

Father?

What am I going to do?

Well, you can
learn how to love.

You're different, haskell.

What makes you so different?

I try to bathe at
least once a week.

Well, it ain't doing
you any favors.

You got some white
in your mouth.

The teeth of your civilization.

It's the first thing
that goes, hygiene.

Civilization ain't gone up here.
Not if you don't want it to go.

It ain't what you want.

It's what nature wants.

And she'll pull the
animal right out of you

Even if you don't
know it's in there.

Nature can't take what
you don't want it to.

Goddamn if civilization
ain't a beautiful thing.

If you say a word
of this to anyone,

I'll deny it.

One hangover, I'm used to.

Two hangovers, a
whole other thing.

A lot of intoxication
in there, last night,

In more ways than one.

It'll wear off.

Always does.

I'm too far gone, haskell.

Too many closed up
places in me that need

To be open for something
like this to work.

A woman needs to be
like that up here.

Keep that civilization
burning bright,

Won't you?

You do the same.

Well... It's been
beat out of me.

I think I made that
clear with all that

Pontificating last night.

If it don't show up last night,
I'm out here in the mud dead

And I think you knew that.

So don't talk to me
about civilization.

Maybe that's the biggest
curse of the klondike,

How it saps your
ability to trust.

You never know what's
in a person's heart,

What they really want from you.

They'd just as soon
kill you as love you.

Because you kill someone

And they're never a
threat to you again.

You love them, they can
take everything from you.

Your gold.

Your land.

Your soul.

Show us your stuff!

Half-wit's supposed to be
on the straight and narrow.

Well, she is, believe it or
not. She's just celebrating.

Celebrating what?

Well, if I'm not mistaking,

She's in love with the
divine holy light.

There you are.

I just need a few signatures.

Liquidation papers for
the bill haskell claim.

Who's our buyer?

We talked about this.
You want hard cash to

Compete with this man.
Then this is the way to do it.

Miss mulrooney.

I trust you're here to
consummate the deal?

I'm not consummating that
way, but you do get my point.

You shut up, soap.

Don't you make this any
dirtier than it already is.

The good news is,

I've got walking pneumonia.

Not a lot of people
qualify that as good news.

It is if it means I
don't got typhus.

Well, now, congratulations.

And you'll be elated to
know I figured out why

The site's been
filling in on itself.

There's flow under the surface.

And plaster.

Soft as clouds.

Meaning, if there's
science to any of this,

That is an optimum
gold-bearing soil.

You might want to
hold off on that.

I started with the good news.

Is it true?

You sell out that
claim from beneath me?

I told you there ain't
no civilization in me.

I sold your note to soapy.

He's not going to give you the
week I was to pay back the loan.

He's going to foreclose.

Tomorrow.

I thought we had
an understanding.

I'm formally requesting a
judge be sent so a proper

Case can proceed.

Because if you want justice

Up here, then you're
going to need a justice.

You don't want to do this.

Don't you tell me
what I want to do.

I'll tell you what.

What I'm going to do
right now is save you.

That's going to the
telegraph office.

I'll have them type another.

Now you listen to me, friend.

There's a reason you came here.

I know what it is.

I know exactly who you are.

20-year veteran that's
never risen above constable.

A wholly uninspired candidate
incapable of original thought.

Year in and year out,
you get passed over.

So you come up here, take
the job that no one else will.

Your one last shot
to be someone.

A superintendent.

And suddenly you get that
original thought at exactly

The wrong time.

Were this to get through, I
would simply countermand it.

You would be relieved of duty.

And I would have more public
relations complications

When I want less.

I'm giving you a
chance to reconsider.

What's happening here
is going to happen,

Whether you retype this or not.

You're a son of a bitch.

Yes I am.

A son of a bitch who's
saving you from yourself.

So, what do you
say, superintendent?

Let me save you?

The man puts a shovel in
the ground that many times,

God is bound to reward him.

He's just got to.

We'll find another claim.

No. This was it, meek.

Our one shot!

Don't give me that look.

I gave you a chance.

You could have cashed in.

Save it, leech.

I'd rather be a leech
than an idiot, friend.

A leech is never hungry.

Idiot, go, go-go
find yourself lunch.

Someplace else
besides my claim.

Meek! Meek!

We're still in it, meek!

It ain't over yet!

We're still in it!

Come on!

Hey, hey, hey!

What the hell are you doing?

This is my claim now!

No it ain't.
I got a contract!

Yeah, well in
case you can't see,

I'm holding that contract now.

And since you can't pay the
balance due this very day,

I am ordering you to vacate.

You do not have the funds!

That's where you're
wrong, soapy.

We are fully funded.

Go on, get!

Death is here.

The sky will darken soon.

Like a coffin lid closing and
we will be alone with death.

God isn't fooled
by our shelters...

...Or by the rags
covering our bodies.

He knows.

We're no different
than the coyotes.

We are predators, creatures
of fortune and circumstance,

That's all.

God knows.

There's no end to him.

He is the storm.

He is the mudslide.

He is the typhus-ridden
mosquito.

And he is our greed for gold.

He chooses who to kill, like
an infant smashing sticks.

I've come here to tell
you that I feel his grace,

I feel him pulling me to him.

I can feel it coming.

A storm.

What storm?

I will kill.

Have you killed before?

Yes.

Whom have you killed?

A wandering jew.

A young man with the
sap still rising in him.

And you will kill again?

Whatever burns inside you,
man always has a choice.

Always a choice.

Not when it's god's own gravity

Pulling you like the
rain out of the sky.

It just happens.

An inevitability.

That's my confession.

Attention!

Attention all you dirty pricks!

This boat leaves in two days
and there won't be another

One until next spring.

And only the healthy...

Careful with the piano, please.

If you have a sniffle,
a speck of a sniffle,

Cough, rash, scratch
in your throat,

If you're dying,
planning to die,

Hoping not to die,
this ain't your ship!

You will not be coming aboard!

That is life or death drama.

Most of these people
don't have supplies

To last through the winter.

They'll die if they stay here.

Which makes this a
business-tunity,

Don't it?

I got ten tickets to
the highest bidder!

Now we all know how this works.

We'll do it in an orderly way.

Somebody say a number and then
somebody says a higher number.

Who'll give me 40?

This is your one and only
tunity to get out of here

Before the winter sets in

And you all start to
freeze your asses off!

Now you all know about
the typhus. This is...

Dog?

40.

It's going to be 40 dollars...

...To get out of here.

Who can give me more?

Think about it.

This is your lives
we're talking about.

45 from this gentleman...

We're in a tavern up north and
there is this big indian there.

Tlingit, I think.

And he's had a few,
but he's not drunk.

We decide we're going to
have a little fun with him.

Now the man is standing with
his back to a mirror, see?

And we tell him, if you turn
head really fast toward

The mirror, you can see
the back of your head.

Well, this savage
who just stares at us,

Doesn't say anything.

Indian doesn't understand
english, we think. Hah.

Then we see him, when he
thinks nobody's looking.

And he's whipping his
head around like this.

He does it every
three seconds or so.

Almost saw it.

Could I have a word with
you a moment, sir?

How may I help you, father?

Well the prisoners you're
about to hang are innocent.

And you say that, why?

Because I've spoken
to the murderer.

He's a white man.

What's his name?

I don't know his
name or, or his face.

It was in the darkness
of the confessional.

And the bond of the confessional
prevents you from saying more,

Yes sir. I mean, if I did know
more, I wouldn't say it,

But I don't know more.

Catholic evidence.

Boys, remind me never
to confess to a priest.

He'll blab it all over town.

I've known men like you.

Strong with others, weak alone.

I said what I came to say.

Now you do with
it what you will.

Hey priest! You know if you turn
around really fast you can see

The back of your head?

Wait.

Are you sure it was the
killing of byron epstein

He was talking about?

It's amazing to me how you
can all have a chuckle

When innocent men
are likely to die.

You don't understand how it is.

There's a lot more going on.

I can't think of anything
that would trump the

You'd be the last person I
would think to get on a soapbox.

Why?

Because I'm a whore?

There's only one whore standing
out here, superintendent.

And it isn't me.

I think this gold
we're pulling out

Is just the tail of the beast.

The beast itself lies below.

We just got to dig deeper.

The beast.

Well, let's go.

We're burning daylight.

The beast.

Hey!

Hey!

Meek! Meek!

Meek.

Agh.

Meek!

Help! Help!

Where's meeker?

Meeker?

He's over there.

Arm's broke up,
but he's over there.

The beast got us.

His arm is busted up.
We're taking him to dawson.

Did you get a look
at the assailant?

Got to be the same one
that killed epstein.

That's the problem with property
rights in this territory.

If a claim owner dies, his
next of kin have one week

To take possession.

No one can get here in a week.

No relation shows up,
the claim's up for grabs.

If both you and
mr. Meeker had died,

That mine would
be a free-for-all.

You are incentivizing
killers, superintendent.

I did not write the law.

You're keeping something back.

The murderer,
he's been talking.

He as much as admitted
the killing to someone.

Who?

I have nothing further to
say that this gentleman

Hasn't already heard.

But you saw him?

Heard him.

Must have seen something.

I am bound by god not to
divulge what I've seen

And heard in that space.

Was it a miner?

Well, it wasn't a tlingit.

It's what he wants, you know?

For you to become
just like him.

I'm sorry for my
behavior this morning.

It was weak of me.

I accept your apology.

You were right, what you said.

I guess maybe you
saw it in my face.

It's what we whores do.

We read men.

Don't say that.

Why do you feel you
have to prove anything

To me, superintendent?

I don't know.

You in the wood business now?

You look awful.

It's not catching, is it?

It's time we had
a conversation.

You've been bad ever
since I've known you.

But things have taken
a turn for the worse.

Well you can put a stop to it.

I intend to.

You want to be the real
estate baron in dawson.

All I care about is
the fairview hotel.

I'm willing to let
you buy me out,

Give you the pick of any of my
properties on front street,

6,000.

So I can keep the fairview
construction afloat.

Front street properties
are a swamp.

Well, come spring, all the
establishments on front street

Are the first thing folks
see when they dock in dawson.

I'm your only competition.

I'd advise you to buy me out.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Right?

I'll give you your 6,000,
but I want the lot.

Everything you've got.

That's highway robbery.

6,000 for all of them?

I'll bring the paperwork
to the saloon tonight.

You know, when you're
not being such a bitch,

You can be really
rather fetching.

Has anyone seen dog?

How about you?

Have you seen dog?

Dog have a name?

What's a dog need with a name?

Kid's got a love affair
with the critter.

Gate's closing.

What's going on, val?

Count rented the
place for the night.

How about I lift
that off of you.

Ain't no way to
conduct business.

Are we going to have a problem?

That's a good lass.

How about we have
a seat over there,

At the special table.

Count pay you by the day
or pay you by the killing?

You ain't going to buy me out.

I got no need for your type.

2,000 u.S. Dollars.

The deal was for six.

Yeah, but your
properties are rotten.

They're not worth that.

You're not buying properties.

You're buying peace of mind.

3,000?

6,000.

You know, I was the
first one to believe in you.

Back when even you
didn't believe in you.

Now look at you.

Was I wrong?

You don't have it, do you?

Your men here know you
don't have the money.

What my men know is that my
new lumberyard has got better

Equipment than yours and
on any given business,

I pull in 1,000 dollars,
which means

The 6,000 is nothing to me.

Then pay it.

Get me a beer,
while you're at it.

Champagne's... Soft.

There's cash in
the back. Get it.

That cash is a big
chunk of your money.

I know.

So get it.

How do I know you're
not going to shoot me

Like you did mcdonald?

Well, because mcdonald and I,

We didn't have the
history that we have.

I suggest you sign that.

Because otherwise I
might change my mind

And wait you out,
watch you drop dead.

You got the typhus, right?

Bring me the cash.

Give me a pen.

It worked. It worked.

Jesus, you're burning up.

Give us a hand here!

Goddamn it, give us a hand!

Give them a hand!
Give them a hand!

You're up here by
your lonesome?

Where's dog?

He's run off.

Dog knows something.

Smells a blizzard
coming, maybe.

You ascribe a lot of
intellect to that dog.

Well, he's got what's
needed in these environs.

More than we've got.

You ought to know belinda's
taken down with the typhus.

She's on a cot in the judge's.

I know you two have feelings.

You show your love by
fighting each other.

How bad is it?

Go on down there or I'll
shoot you through your head

And make you stupider
than you already are.

You should be out mining.

Well you should be out
over-charging miners.

I am wicked.

You just want
people to think that.

Never fooled me.

Sleepy.

You can't sleep now.

Keep talking.

When I first saw you,
I thought of myself,

"that woman is
stronger than iron."

You dominated a room
just by standing in it.

And the room was better for it.

A little thing like a fever,
you'll just kick it aside.

I'm tired of kicking.

My mama used to do this
to me when I was sick.

It must be nice having someone
you love do that for you.

What else did your mama do?

She talked and told me
everything she was doing.

"I'm changing the sheets.

"I'm airing out
the room."

Like I couldn't see her.

Sometimes she sang to me.

No, I'm not singing to you.

She went days with the
disease skulking through

Her body like a wolf.

Most people wouldn't
even be able to walk.

She'll be all right.

She's tougher than rubber.

The arm's feeling better.

Won't get better without help.

Doctor help, you mean?

We got to get you
to the mainland.

Ferry leaves day after tomorrow.
You're going to be on it.

And what about you?

What about the mine?

The season's up, meek.

It's the last ferry
of the year.

You ain't answered my question.

What about you?

You don't go, I don't go.

Don't be stupid.

That arm don't heal right,
you're a cripple for life.

You don't go, I don't go.

I'll get us both tickets.

How about that?

You'd do that?

If it gets you out of here.

Yeah.

I lied to him.

I had to.

We'd found gold.

But I hadn't satisfied
the real obsession.

The killer of my best friend,
hiding out there somewhere

Like a dog, in the mud, in the
rain with his great secret.

It was just a matter of time
before someone saw his face.

And the real end
game would begin.

Safe travels.

Bill.

Her fever's broke.

She might make it.

Must have nodded off.

Looks like you
had a little help.

Yeah, well, help at night,
hell in the morning.

She all right, belinda?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

That's him.

Who?

I recognize his voice anywhere.

He's gone back to the wild.

He's howling with his brethren.

Well, it's good to
know you, bill haskell.

You're not coming
back, are you?

You're going to
be on that ferry.

I've collected a
lot of stories.

Don't have much meaning
unless people hear them.

Put me in one of
them, will you?

I'll think about it.

But right now...
I'm burning daylight.

Confused.

Where exactly all
our customers are?

Well, I suppose they're up
the street at belinda's mill.

She's suddenly selling
her wood on credit.

That helps her how?

For a woman so desperate
for hard cash,

Selling on credit helps
her exactly how?

Well, it helps her keep the
customers away from here.

Smart little rat.

Knew you were strapped.

Took all your cash on hand.

But why?

Well so I can't pay you lot.

Sundown and his boys ain't the
type you want to be in hock to.

Well, there's more than
one way to raise capital.

Trust me.

Got some color, do you?

A little.

And yet, I get the
sense that your mind

Is a whole world
away, thinking.

I'm working on something
that don't have a solution.

Well, not much point in
thinking about it, then.

Thinking about how to
ferret out a murderer.

How would you do that?

Is that why you sent
your friend away?

Keep him away from whatever
nastiness you're planning?

Something like that.

I ain't as innocent as him.

So?

That son of a bitch, he
hit my claim last night.

Got two months worth of flakes.

Now that's not what you got, but
still it's every penny I had.

You know, you can't
be certain it was him.

Well, there's one
way to find out.

We find him.

We make him talk.

If it's the mine he wants, we're
going to sit right back here

And let him think
he can have it.

Got movement.

Son of a bitch was in my camp.

And he's headed for mine.

Move, I'll shoot your
right where you stand!

You're the one that's
trying to kill me?

You come for my gold now?

Didn't kill no one.

Just looking to steal something
to feed my family with.

Well maybe you're here
to finish the job

And kill me like you
killed my friend?

I told you.
I didn't kill no one.

I'm telling you I
didn't do nothing.

Superintendent's going
to iron all that out.

Whole difference between
stealing and killing.

And I didn't even steal.

Bill haskell,
what are you doing?

I think I found our man.

No you haven't.
This isn't him.

You know something,
you talk now.

Who is he?

I'm bound by god to honor the
sanctity of the confession.

But I can tell you right
now it's not this man.

Told you.

Shut up!

Step away.

Now!

Talk.

You know, I come down here to
give myself a little peace.

See if our murderous friend
was smart enough to get

Onto the last boat out of here.

Disappear with his sins and
leave the rest of us alone.

I didn't get that peace.

So long!

Good bye!

Prison's closing in now.

We're all locked in together.

The die had been cast.

God had sealed us
in with our fate.

What we were before we came
to this place was no more.

The land had taken over.

Drawn from us the animal
instincts we'd rather not know.

It had already killed
hundreds, maybe thousands.

But only one of those
deaths mattered to me.

The ache of a friend
lost forever is a pain

I'd wish on nobody.

You was just trying to
get me out of here,

Weren't you?

Only to save that arm.

Who's going to save you?

Jesus.

Sometimes friendships,
even new ones,

Are the only solace we have,
even if the moment is only

Fleeting and the worst
storms are yet to come.
