[man] Amos, five!

"Let justice roll like a mighty river!"

Isaiah 51.

"My salvation is on the way!"

[laughing]

"With my arm,

I will bring justice to the nations!"

Isaiah 40:31.

-Afternoon gentlemen. -Howdy.

Would you be interested in sharing camp?

Sure, come on in.

Much obliged.

No foolin'. A bona fide courthouse judge.

So even judges ain't immune to the gold fever now.

We're not prospecting.

I'm to judge a murder trial in Dominion Creek.

Sounds diverting.

A retired Cavalry captain.

Got into a brawl with an Indian.

The Indian was dispatched

and in the fracas,

Captain Galvin was relieved of an eye.

A grisly affair.

Indeed. Justice will be done.

Mister Peachy, I'm tired of this horse shit.

Okay, Mister Angel.

Just making sure these are our fellas.

They are our fellas.

[laughing]

All right, boys.

Strip on down.

[gun clicks]

Strip down, I said.

No reason to get blood on the finery.

Dogs.

[sinister music playing]

You'll swing for this.

Sure.

[mumbles]

[groans in pain]

[screaming]

[groans]

He looked for justice,

but there was only killing.

He hoped for right living,

but there were only cries of pain.

No!

-[squelching] -[screaming]

[theme music playing]

[foreboding music playing]

Ladies and gentlemen!

Hot water, day and night!

That's a promise.

Mondays and Thursday nights will be ladies' nights.

[crowd cheering]

The bath house will be properly guarded those nights.

[crowd groaning]

Tuesdays and Fridays we'll sell the bath water.

[cheering and applause]

Dominion Creek is our home,

and the Connolly brothers will be doing their bit to keep it clean.

Now get in there and wash your stinking pelts!

Keep your fucking pants on 'til you're inside!

Keep them on!

Until you get inside!

Congratulations.

I only caught the tail end of your speech.

Daniel O'Connell couldn't have done a better job.

[laughs]

There were tears enough to fill the big tub inside.

Stare on, you bastard.

Ignore him.

Don't be making trouble.

Don't worry about me.

I'll soon have that saloon from under him.

Not without a war.

We're done playing with guns.

When I take Jacob Hopkins, it'll be with his own weapons.

Gold and dollars.

And I'll find the creature who did his dirty work on me too.

Come on, Padraig.

I want to see if he finds any flaws in the carpentry.

Does my watching bother you?

Not at all, Madame.

He is yours.

And la, he is done.

And so sleepy.

[knocking at door]

[Jacob Hopkins] Estella!

I must see you!

Step aside, you titanic Irish ape.

Colonel, you surprised us, again.

This, Estella. This is unnecessary.

Billy is here for my safety and the safety of my child.

I consider it most necessary.

I have allowed you to remain under my roof,

on the understanding--

You have allowed me to remain under your roof,

Jacob, because you could not abide for me to be elsewhere.

Brave acolytes of Lady Fortune!

Say your prayers.

Place your bets, gentlemen! Place your bets.

Will Lady Fortune caress you or scorn you?

No more bets, gentlemen.

No more bets!

[gasps]

Dammit!

Wicked Queen!

Lady Fortune is--

Hold your chips! This dealer is a cheat!

Sir! I will not have this accusation leveled, sir!

He is a cheat.

And what is worse, he is a cheat with no finesse.

Al?

[laughing] Is that you?

Al Carbonneau?

Soapy Smith! Mon bon cher ami!

[both laughing]

Gentlemen,

le Comte de Carbonneau was making one of his jokes.

About the cheating and that. [laughing]

Adolphe, jump in.

[laughing] Le Comte de Carbonneau!

As I live and breathe.

Monty!

Do you want to try and drink an Irishwoman under the table?

I'm more interested in what we do when we get down there.

Come along...

Kate's a grown woman and we're drinking.

Get your fucking paws off me.

You're destroying yourself. It's a torment to watch.

I was only taking a drink. Can I not take a drink?

Don't give me that. Look, Kate...

I'm not talking about it, Belinda.

Your child was stillborn.

It's not your fault.

Time will come, you'll hold that boy again in heaven.

I will not.

I won't have the ticket to get there.

Is the best thing for me to send you back to civilization?

I'm not civilized, Belinda. I'm too wild.

I belong up here.

Up in the savage wilds!

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

Whisht, you devil you.

[lively music playing]

[indistinct chatter and laughter]

Hello!

Sorry, sir.

Have you heard tell of the Irish Connolly brothers from Ros Muc?

Are you mocking me?

No.

Why so would you think that?

Out!

And take that bastard Connolly name with you! Out!

Well Padraig, do you know the best thing about owning a bath house?

River water's free.

You heat it up with free timber.

And then you charge men to sit in it.

That's all true, but the best thing

is that 'tis a hoor of a job, burning down a bath house!

Padraig, you could run the place for us.

Baptize a few men on the quiet.

Or is Padraig happy out above,

panning for gold with his Bridget?

You'll have to be quick, or someone will steal her away!

-Have ye hopped in at all? -Sure we haven't had a minute.

The door wasn't hung and they were banging it off the hinges.

They fairly stank too!

There'll be no luck until there's a Connolly in that tub!

[all laughing]

Tom!

-Padraig! -What?

Hey.

Is that...

Dan Ban Connolly?

Sure Dan's nearly 40.

It's me, Mici Ban. The youngest.

And you're after tracking us all the way from Ireland?

I did. Your father landed back to us and he put it in my head.

God rest him.

[cockerel squawks]

What have you there at all?

My fighting cock.

This is...

[laughs]

You brought a rooster from Ireland?

I did not. I won him in a card game in Skagway.

By Dad. Isn't he a fine fellow?

Cousin Mici, you mad puck!

-Welcome to Dominion! -Thank you.

Tom.

You're both welcome.

Thanks, Padraig.

[banjo music playing]

Welcome to the Connolly Estate.

And what do you think of our stately mansion?

Ah, lads!

Ye take me for Poor Mici Ban from Conamara

with sheep shit still on his shoes.

All the gold ye have coming in

and ye live in a sharecropper's cabin?

Get out of that.

The way it is now, the Foreman said

the soft chairs and chandeliers can wait.

If it's not good enough for you Mici, that's fine too.

I didn't mean to be rude.

It's surprised I am.

How many working claims are staked by ye?

Well, the one on Golden Ridge isn't proven yet, is it Tom?

But it will come through soon. That'll be five...

Come on, Mici. I'll show you your first gold in the ground.

[exhales]

Bridget...

[gasping]

You frightened me.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Sometimes my heart is in my mouth,

thinking Irish Pat's here for us.

If you're frightened, we can back out as witnesses.

That's not what I want. There's two of us in it.

We'll see justice for Skookum Jim.

We'll see justice.

As you said, there's two of us in it together.

And...I think...

[woman] Bridget, Padraig! Help me!

-Name of God, what happened? -I don't know.

He complained of a fever this morning but...

Jack? Can you hear me?

[bell ringing]

Indians.

They shouldn't be let in town at all.

Sure haven't they lice as big as mice!

[Georgie shouts] They have lice, big as mice.

Chief Isaac.

I'm giving you five minutes.

Don't make me regret it.

[suspenseful music playing]

Used to be you could come pay a nickel to see the Indian.

Well, well.

How times have changed.

We came to see you before you hang.

Didn't hear the news up in Louse Town?

They got the wrong man.

You see, I am entirely innocent.

He says your spirit is poisoned.

He says wabby-dabby-doo-da-shit.

You know, your brother was a flea-bitten cowardly drunk.

Hanging is too good for you!

You should be buried alive!

Ooh yeah!

Buried alive in you.

That's enough!

I've gotten word from Whitehorse

that Judge Lewis is to be expected any day now.

Captain Galvin,

your trial date is set for exactly one week from today.

Judge Lewis has requested that a gallows be erected in advance.

Living with your nature,

is your punishment.

Death

will be your release.

[man groaning]

[coughing]

[retching]

[woman coughing]

[man retching]

Let me see.

-Shit! -What is it?

It looks to me like typhoid.

Rash on the chest, nosebleed, fever.

More coming in every day.

Get him inside, we'll do what we can.

Colonel,

do I understand correctly,

you are proposing marriage?

As a gentleman, I am compelled to do the decent thing.

Other considerations aside,

that boy will need a father.

But I've seen the sort of father you are.

Open your eyes to your situation.

All of J.J.'s holdings are in my name.

Without me you have nothing.

You're wrong.

I possess a little capital.

Oh, you've embezzled from me.

That's quite enough charm, I think.

Billy, please escort the Colonel.

Your capital will not last long.

What then?

Will you take in sewing or do laundry?

I believe with a clever investment or two, I can make ends meet.

[sniggering] Investments.

You know nothing of such things.

I know that in the Klondike,

there is no such thing as real commerce.

Everything is simply gambling dressed up.

Well, Estella.

You certainly have a gambler's nerve.

[baby gurgles]

[grunting]

Your man is a mad hoor, isn't he?

He's some character.

Was it for character I saw you paying him above?

I was only betting on his cock. He hasn't much.

Hang on, Tom.

What do you reckon with him?

What do I reckon?

I reckon the Connolly Bans spent years

traveling up and down the country

causing trouble wherever they went.

They only came to Ros Muc because Dad was such a soft touch!

As for Mici,

he'd find mischief in a confession box.

But surely it won't do any harm to help him out?

We don't need anyone extra swinging out of us.

Tom the Miser is back!

I'm only watching out for what we have here.

We'd never have made it this far,

only for the goodness of Bear Brennan's big heart.

We survived because of Skookum Jim.

Maybe it's time to pass it on.

And Mici is family.

[laughing]

Sure Mici might make his fortune yet.

Doesn't he have Charles Stewart Parnell himself on his side?

Poor Jack.

He'll recover, with God's help.

And we'll miss Maude around the place.

I suppose she's needed down there more than here.

The time might not seem right.

But with everything today,

what good is waiting for the right time.

So if you'll have me, Bridget,

will you marry me?

Of course!

[hammering]

I wish to see someone

relieved of their fortune.

Ah, if this is to involve the Connollys,

it is with great regret, I must withdraw.

No.

It is someone closer to home.

You'll want your mark to remain ignorant of your involvement.

That is essential.

So, ideas.

We could try a blank auction.

Mici.

The men bet large at the cock fights.

They do too.

We heard that in town, didn't we Parnell?

Listen!

We'll train you here.

And you'll have the same good salary as the boys.

And when you're ready,

we'll grub stake you in a claim of your own.

We might even go in on it with you.

Mici Ban, the Klondike King!

You're too good, lads. Too good.

Oh, look who's coming.

-God be with you! -How are ye, lads?

What has ye up here? Something wrong?

We're getting married.

Ah, you poor crathur!

You poor old fella.

Dad used joke you'd be the first of us to marry.

If you didn't go for the priesthood.

I always thought he was for the collar.

I wonder how Bridget went about changing his mind!

Anything ye want. Whenever ye want it.

-Just say it. -Thanks, Tom.

'Tis not dry news! We'll go into town and wet it.

What do you say?

We may as well!

Congratulations.

Le Comte de Carbonneau will take the role of a high bidder.

He'll keep the price rising.

-And the claim? -We found the very spot.

Not a fleck of gold on it.

Our for 200 dollars, via a proxy, of course.

Where is it?

You'll like this.

It's on King Solomon's Dome.

The name will gossip very well.

It's gonna be the talk of the town by the morning.

Then there's a risk someone will out bid her.

Every tumble comes with a risk.

Worse case, we three still make a tidy profit.

And your mark is none the wiser.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm not a regular of that saloon.

Why so?

Ancient history. And I'll keep it that way. Come on.

Are you saying there'd be trouble if you go in there?

I never stepped in there without getting trouble.

Are you afraid?

I didn't say that.

In we go then.

[lively music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct laughter]

I hear and I see...

Oh, now, Monty, steady!

-...all the time. -I do.

Depends on how quickly...

I'd say as soon as... you'll do very well.

Kate.

What are you at? This isn't decent.

Decent? Who are you to judge what's decent?

A degenerate killer.

Kate, I'm only looking out for you.

Ye men stay innocent children your whole lives.

Ye never suffer any consequences!

Did she call you a degenerate killer?

A man died in the fire at my boarding house.

Come on, we're not staying.

[dog barking]

Galvin!

Connolly.

You're outside visiting hour.

Nice of you to drop by all the same.

Are you in a confessional mood?

[foreboding music playing]

Was it you tried to blast me with dynamite?

If I came at you with dynamite, you would not be alive.

But I know who did it.

It was cowardly done.

Shooting Skookum Jim and his hands tied.

Back in Dakota, they gave me a medal for Indian killing.

You ever get your medal for Indian fucking?

El Soo came sniffing around.

You must have given her a taste for Irish men.

You should contemplate your gallows.

Start praying.

You might be spared Hell.

None of us gonna be spared Hell!

I summoned it here myself!

You hear?

I summoned it here myself!

[suspenseful music playing]

[music continues playing]

You must be Superintendent Steele.

That's me.

Judge Charles Lewis. You're expecting me.

Judge Lewis.

You made pretty good time from Dawson.

Mister Angel here, my factotum,

knows the cut-offs pretty good.

Let me into some wilderness drama too.

Well, we can get you settled in at the Fairview.

It's as comfortable as we can offer.

That sounds congenial.

You're gonna have to deposit your firearms with me.

Hope you don't mind.

Your town, your law.

Knives?

Not a problem.

Dominion welcomes you, Judge.

It's good you're here.

[indistinct chatter]

Lilly, it looks like Kate has other plans.

You sing, don't you?

Not to be heard, I don't!

Well I heard.

Hop up there now and sing "The Belle of Klondike."

I'll catch you if you fall off.

Up you go, girls.

Everyone thinks it is,

how you say,

a blank?

But a geologist took a look.

There's thick seams of gold running right through it.

[Billy] It's going up for public auction tomorrow, Ma'am.

A guaranteed bonanza's what I heard.

Tom.

The claim's up in today's auction.

[breathing heavily]

A lot of gold up on King Solomon's Dome.

And every ounce of it long-since staked.

Probably, someone bought a blank.

And they're putting word around about a bonanza.

There's people would do that?

Ye late arrivals hoping for an easy, big strike.

There's no easy bonanzas left.

There's still getting rich.

You just need to use this...

and this.

'Tisn't long since people were bringing the donations to you.

Are you coping alright?

Sure this place can't cope with normal mining accidents

not to mind this.

Show me.

Some of the Typhoid patients get delirious.

[groaning]

I can see Hell!

We can't even get enough clean water for the laundry.

Doctor,

can you prevent an epidemic?

Prevent one?

Typhoid symptoms only appear three weeks after infection.

This epidemic's well underway.

-He's alive. -Get her out of her now!

Out! Out!

Come on, Kate.

That's my baby, Billy.

That's my baby!

[baby crying]

[shushing]

[door creaks open]

All rise for Judge Peachy Taylor.

Alias Judge Charles Lewis.

Have you trailed up here alone?

No, I brought Mister Angel in tow.

So, you're a judge now.

Did you write your Ma, tell her the news?

Spare her your jibes.

My mother's only recent gone to her sainthood.

And I remain behind these bars.

You were hoping we'd spring you right off.

Well yes, Peachy.

That did occur to me.

Say we spring you, what then?

We gallop. The Mounties chase.

We die out there on the gallows.

So what is your plan?

You come to trial,

and as judge, I find you not guilty.

We're not engaged two days

and you'd abandon me!

I'm not abandoning you.

I'll live on at the claim

and hike in every day.

And the risk of Typhoid?

No, Padraig.

And that's my last word on it.

I was six months working here.

Father Judge trained me. They need me.

I need you.

Le Comte de Carbonneau.

[cockerel crows]

I'll see you inside.

El Soo.

You don't want Parnell to be late for his fight.

You're in the big tent over there.

You are well, Tom?

I'm fine. I've a bum leg but...

I'm fine.

Isaac is waiting for me.

I will see you again soon, I hope.

I hope so.

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Well, can I get an ounce of gold on this little beauty.

[lively music playing]

[Belinda] Lot No. 5.

A small claim of 25 by 100 feet,

at King Solomon's Dome.

This is the blank I told you about.

[crowd roaring]

[lively music playing]

Who's going to start the bidding at ten thousand?

Ten thousand. Twelve and a half?

Twelve and a half. Do I have fifteen?

-Here! -Fifteen thousand.

[crowd cheering]

I have fifteen thousand.

-[bangs table] -95,000 Canadian Dollar.

[crowd gasps]

We have 25,000 dollars from the gentleman in front.

[lively music playing]

-Do I have 26? -[man] 26!

26. 27, anyone?

27,000 dollars, Mrs. Hopkins.

-Do I hear 28? -[man] Right here.

29, anyone? Hmm?

[man] 29 here.

30,000.

[Bidding continues]

Easy, Billy. I just want a word.

Don't turn around now, Mrs. Hopkins, but I think you should stop bidding.

It's a swindle.

[Belinda] Do I hear thirty five and a half?

Thank you, Mrs Hopkins!

That fancy man over there. He's in on it with Soapy Smith.

Do I hear 36?

40,00 dollars.

Do I hear 40,250?

Mrs. Hopkins?

Do I hear 40,250? Anyone?

[man] Here!

-[crowd gasps] -Going once at 40,250 dollars.

Twice... Three times.

Sold.

[applause]

Thank you Mr. Connolly.

Now, we move on to Lot No. 6.

A proven claim measuring 40 x 100 feet.

[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles]

Thanks.

I was wrong today.

We shouldn't stop each other doing what we want.

That's not why we're getting married.

No, it's not.

If you want to help at the hospital,

I want you to do that too.

But we have to go home after the trial.

We'll be married in my parish.

It will be your parish too.

With all your gold.

I went by Captain Pat's cage today.

He said it was him put the dynamite to me in the mine.

Of course 'twas him. The bastard.

He had a busy day of it, didn't he?

Blowing me up.

Shooting Skookum Jim.

Well, he'll soon be busy swinging from a rope.

Mici Ban is better for the carousing than your bold self.

Mici deserves a bit of craic.

He's only landed here.

Straight from the hardships we left at home.

What hardships?

The Peelers came down hard on all the Connollys

after we left, because of the...

Right.

[Tom laughing]

This morning, I was below, digging with Mici.

Not even hard going.

He split a blister on the paw there,

and I'm not joking you,

you should have heard the roaring!

Do you remember what Dad used say about the Connolly Bans?

What?

They'd do anything but work.

That was it.

Anything but work.

[Cajun music playing]

What do you want?

I want to know why you hate the Connollys.

Don't they boast of it?

They do not.

It's not something

I discuss down here in public.
