THE HEAD OF JOAQUÍN MURRIETA

EPISODE 7 SHADOW

It's a great horse.

It was.

It's on its last legs, poor thing.

Took you too long to put that bullet in him.

That's none of your business.

UNITED STATES - CALIFORNIA MEXICO - BAJA CALIFORNIA

Lousy thief! Get out of here!

It's like going back to nowhere.

You don't even know if that Ranger's there.

Then you tell me, what else can we do?

Hey! Where are you going?

To find out if we're wasting our time.

If you're going to kill me, at least let me pull up my pants.

You used to work for Blanca, right?

Joaquín Carrillo.

Everyone says Oliver killed you and your family.

Fucking bastards!

You got her killed.

- What do you mean? - Blanca, asshole.

You're to blame for her hanging.

They caught us moving the gold.

It was either her or our family.

What would you have done?

Love forced us to choose the uniform

or the gallows.

You should've chosen the gallows and died with dignity.

Where is Oliver?

Nobody knows.

They say he deserted.

Let him go.

Do you really believe him?

Let's go get your gold.

This is the mine I told you about.

We're going to need gunpowder.

It didn't look like this before.

There weren't any people or so many tunnels.

This place is crawling with Rangers.

We're gonna need a lot more than gunpowder.

If there's any powder left, we blow up their barracks

and take down those sons of bitches.

What about the wagon?

That won't be a problem.

But we'll need someone inside the mine.

Leave that to me.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you don't look like a miner.

Who said you'll find gunpowder here?

Someone had to take Blanca's place.

Blanca's gone.

What was your name again?

My name doesn't matter.

What would you do

if a random guy who won't tell you his name

turned up at your door to buy lots of gunpowder?

I'd take the money without asking questions.

What you've given me is not enough.

I'll also need a wagon.

That's all you can afford.

If you want more gunpowder, bring me more money.

Fine, then.

No problem at all.

We both take what's ours and that's that.

It's too hot. I want to go home.

All that gold...

It's not even ours, the gringos keep it all.

Quick!

You can't keep hiding.

Be careful.

What do you want?

- Why are you following me? - I don't know anyone.

So what?

I just got here. I thought…

That I'm going to help you just because you're Chinese?

Wait.

You seem like a good person, and I lost my family.

I need to work.

You're screwed, kiddo.

Look at that. You know what you're doing.

Good!

Well done, kid.

Today was busy.

First time Jian brings a girl home.

Mother.

My son explained your situation.

I can't offer you work at our tailor's shop,

but I can offer you a place at our table.

We also have water. Wash the road off of you.

Why did you come to a village like Villa Morena,

instead of San Francisco?

Father said it was better to be broken jade than a whole tile.

These small places have less rivalry. It's easier to grow alongside them.

He also thought California would be paved with gold.

It's been five years,

and we haven't paid off our debts.

Were they chasing you?

Those guys from before?

What about you? How did you end up here?

My family was part of a larger group.

We spent many weeks at sea.

Once we arrived, some of us went north.

Some people started leaving until there were only a few of us left.

One night, our camp was attacked.

My parents hid me in a chest.

I'll make some more tea.

Where's your father now?

We buried him on the road.

We sacrificed so much to come here.

But your sacrifice doesn't have to be in vain.

I need to work.

- My mother will let you stay… - Get me in the mine, I know you can.

That work is for men only.

It's very hard.

Jian, I'm stronger than any man.

She snores like a mangy dog.

Or like a sow.

Get out here!

- I can explain. - You fed us all those lies!

I can explain, please.

Daisy!

There's the thief!

Where were you? Look what I found.

You "found" it? Fucker, you'll get us both killed.

Cover me.

Drop the gun.

You're fucking dead.

Wrong, we're all dead.

We can all die here...

or we can walk away with more gold than you can dream of.

Perfect.

What if your plan doesn't work?

If Adela follows my instructions inside the mine,

there shouldn't be any problems.

She only needs to find allies with access to the gold.

Go on! Keep moving!

If Adela can't enlist the chinks, the more gold for us.

Make no mistake.

Without them, there's no gold for anyone.

They'll break up the ore to transport it out of the mine.

Once the waste is discarded,

they only have to follow the signs to exit the back of the hill.

What about the Rangers?

We'll set off several blasts at the same time.

The tunnel collapse will buy us some time

while we leave with the gold inside the wagon.

We need to split the gold and leave as fast as we can.

More gold than I can dream of?

Let go of him!

If you don't pay us by tomorrow morning,

your mother will pay.

This is a reminder.

Let's go.

I'll never be able to go back to China.

You don't understand what this means.

Without my braid, I'm no one.

Just another slave.

You can remain a slave in the mine,

or you can join me and steal the gold.

I promise, in a single day,

you'll make enough money to give you and Shui the life you deserve.

I promise.

Here we are.

If you trust me, you can trust them.

We're putting our lives on that trust.

Well,

the wagons are ready.

Good luck.

Quick, move!
