An Klondike (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 4 - Episode #1.4 - full transcript

Like this. You're shaking down
the heavy metal not rocking a
baby to sleep!

Wait minute there ye. Hands up.

Wait!

You.

Your mouth.

Open your mouth.

Right now. Show me.

Tom, what are you doing?

Open your mouth.

I had scurvy, alright.

I don't want to show that to
everyone.



Do you want to check my ass now
as well?

Go eat!

All of ye!

(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)

TITLE MUSIC

Every week you fall behind
with payments, the interest
accrues.

Oh I know how it works.

Your cheapest option is to pay
me
sooner.

I pay my debts.
Just ask Petey McDonagh.

Last I saw, Mr. McDonagh had
lapsed
into total incoherence.

Is that all I owe you?

I feel like I owe you something
else.

I collect all my dues.

Well there's a dent in it.



I have a preference for paper
money.

Sure look, don't we all.

With the shortage, a dollar in
paper
is what?

One twenty in gold?

EERIE MUSIC

You can get dressed.

She has no English, this one?

The men who want sweet talk can
pay
for it in the saloon.

What's the matter with her?

A whole mess of things.

An obvious severe Gonorrhoea
infection and I think there are
early signs of syphilis.

I'll give mercury but you need
to move her indoors.

She's not strong enough for
this.

Laudanum. She's clearly another
of your addicts.

Doctor Dunn, we thank you for
your kind ministrations.

My last prescription.

Put that girl on the next
steamer
back to civilisation.

Ma'am.

It's ready!

It looks as good as ever
P?draig.

Dinner time.

So we've a house maid, a saint
and a cheap whore. Go digging
for gold.

Just like the start of a bad
joke!

What do you want here?

Bridget.

You took this here claim right
out of my back pocket...

..and I would like to have it
back now.

Over my dead body.

I'm sure that can be easily
arranged.

You're worse than the devil
himself.

You haven't seen the devil yet,
folks.

You're trespassing on private
property.

Oh dear, I'm trespassing.

I heard you were all communists
and property was theft.

(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)

Now. Have you forgotten the
lesson
that I taught you?

Now this has got to be the
dumbest looking rabbit I've seen
all day.

Get your dogs, turn tail and
run!

Now.

Do it.

You like spying on my sister,
don't you little rabbit?

You'll pay for that.

But for now, best just fuck off
back to Dominion.

Before I change my mind.

I'm not finished with you folks.

(SOUND OF GUNFIRE)

Run little rabbit!

Wanna trade for a plate
of that stew?

These men put their cocks where
I wouldn't put my walking cane.

And if the girl can't work she's
not
worth one of our beds.

We could easily pack her
in a steamer down to Skagway.

The girl stays. She is ours.
She's alive.

She may yet somehow be of use.

I do admire the charity
in your nature.

Only my charity, Jacob?

SALOON MUSIC

Where is Úna?

She's upstairs.

Úna!

You stay away from her!

What have I done?

Oh, it's you, Petey.

I'm going to take you with me.

I'll make you better.

You filthy creature. Out!
This instant!

My dear, how soon you forget
your charity.

You have a special interest
in this Violet?

Úna! Her name is Úna!

Úna.

Help me and she's yours.

I went to the market
and traded my cow

For five pounds in money
and a gold guinea coin

If I drank all the money
and gold I did share

Since it's no one's concern,
then so no one should care

I'm told you are the person to
see for exceptional travel
arrangements.

But sure leaving Dominion is no
great
difficulty anymore.

Steamers go up and down that
river
day and night.

And someone taking a steamer
day or night can be sought out
and recognised at every port.

I need your help to make someone
disappear.

People are saying I'm a cad
gone astray

Without goods or possessions,
no cow and no care

If it's my own desire to live
in a shack

Since it's no one's concern,
then so no one should care

If it's my own desire to live
in a shack

Since it's no one's concern,
then no one should care

(SOUND OF APPLAUSE)

Women of Klondike.

God almighty save us.

SALOON MUSIC

Who needs to disappear?

(SOUND OF APPLAUSE)

Leave us.

You're pregnant.

It's not mine.

Such detective skills
ye Mounties have.

I came up here because
I thought maybe..!

And now you think a
Superintendent couldn't...

..possibly be seen to raise
someone else's bastard.

You can be angry at me but I am
not
the author of your situation.

No and the child is not yours.

And I'm not yours
so we're not your concern.

There are lots of other claims.

They pay better and they don't
treat people like dogs!

You can't leave now.

You have to start the third
shaft!

I trained you up!

When you came here you didn't
know
a mine...

..from a hole in the fucking
ground.

Bastards!

-What's wrong?
-You are angry all the time and
closed up tight like a fist.

Being cut off from my family,
it stops my heart.

And you cut off your family too.
They did the cutting.

And your heart is stopped.

You need to end this feud
with your brother.

You do not mention my brother
ever again. Understand?

You understand nothing I say to
you.

You need to end this feud
for your own good.

S?amus made me break a promise
to my father.

I have nothing to do with him
and neither do you. Are we
clear?!

Yes.

We are clear.

(SOUNDS OF THE NIGHT)

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Who are you?

Get off me, bastard!
I have to escape!

What the fuck are you doing
here?!

You're too late, you fucker!

I'm going to hellfire,
and I'm going to take you with
me.

(SOUND OF EXPLOSION)

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Faster!

Water fast! Get water from the
troughs.
It's too

late to save it but we
have to stop it spreading.

Go! Make a chain.
Make a chain!

Keep the troughs full.

S?amus! Has anyone seen
S?amus Connolly?

You shouldn't be here.
It's not safe.

He's still in there, Sam.
He's still in there.

I have to get to the safe.

It's over Connolly, it's over.

All the gold in this God damn
town and not a single cent for a
Fire Department.

Keep it coming, faster!

I'm sorry to see this, S?amus.

Well you were right, Kate.

You put the money
on the other horse.

Things have finished
between myself and Sam.

Because of us?

It's more complicated than that.

He saved me.

I'd rather have, well, died.

But he saved me.

It's a miracle that nobody died.

No one except Petey McDonagh.

T'was he who burnt the place.

Don't tell the Mountie that.

-It won't do any good.
-I won't say a word to anyone.

I don't want to have
anything to do with it.

I have my own troubles now.

Are you worried what song you'll
sing tonight? To turn on all the
boys.

In the territory, failing to
honour
debts is a serious crime.

Yeah, I don't have your money.

Indeed. You are insolvent.

This moment I could march you
into
three years of debtor's prison.

Perhaps more.

There is a loudmouth little
Italian fruit vendor beside the
big blue tent.

You know it as the blue
elephant.

The vendor's name
is Signor Gondolfo.

Signor Gondolfo cheerfully pays
me one hundred and twenty
dollars monthly...

..for the use of five feet
square.

In Boston, that sum will lease
you a four bedroom apartment for
two years.

I'm sorry Mr Hopkins
but I don't give a fuck.

That ash heap that you see
is without value.

It could make you a fortune
if you owned it.

Yeah well, 'if' never bulled a
cow.

You know that my only concern
is profit.

Your brother Thomas.

He has interests scattered
all over this valley.

He routinely outbids me in
speculating for prize claims.

He has become a true Klondike
King.

I need Thomas Connolly removed.
Permanently.

Removed?

Are you asking me to kill my
brother?

To avoid ambiguity. Yes.
I want you to kill your brother.

You must be mad!

My own brother! The
devil wouldn't do it!

Your babble has the tenor
of refusal.

But debtor's prison or wealth.
Those are your only choices.

No they're not.

(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)

You know the spot I mean?

The mountain trail through the
north of the town just beyond
the city of tents?

I know it.

There's a little red flag on a
tree.
That makes the rendezvous.

Don't worry, the packers
will find her.

But these packers will get her
safely to the coast?

Estella, with this kind of cash
the boys would get her to St.
Petersburg.

Father.

Tom?

Tom?

Tom?

Tom?

How are you?

You were right about Hopkins.

That man is a real devil.

And you were right...

..to come back here.

I have a debt to pay.

But I'll work hard, Tom.

You won't here me complaining a
bit, Tom.

Listen, you won't regret it.

I've put all my old ways behind
me, now.

I've put my old ways behind me
too.

That's funny.

I get it.

Do you get that?

Put it on.

Put it on or I will shoot you...

..for trespassing.

Trespassing?

On my own claim?

What claim? You don't have any
claim.

Tom, I'm your brother.

(SOUND OF A GUNSHOT)

That there now is what
you are, nothing else.

Put it on.

You could have sent one
of the girls.

I want to take care of you.

I want to be with you.

I want to be yours.

Keep going.

You'll regret this.

Walk and keep on walking.

You're right.

We're not brothers anymore.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

Give me it.

Come on for God's sake.

You stay out of this.

(SOUND OF A GUNSHOT)

Down on your knees now.

Now!

Don't be in any doubt.

That this is all your fault.

Don't be in any doubt that
you can go fuck yourself.

Tom.

Tom!

Give it to me and I won't arrest
you. Do not make me wait.

This bullshit.

I thought you were different.
But I guess Irish blood is Irish
blood!

S?amus Connolly, you are under
arrest.

What are you arresting me for?

For failure to honour debts
in Dominion.

Jacob Hopkins has pressed
charges
against you. Move it.

(SOUND OF PRAYING)

(SOUND OF CRICKETS)

If you think you can pay
your respects...

..to Father Judge after what you
did today, you're mistaken.

I'm sorry, P?draig.

I'd been drinking and I was
angry.

I had no sense at all.

You're not sorry, Tom.

Your brother is sent to prison
because of his debts...

..and with a great big pot
of gold of your own.

What would Dad say?

Get out of my sight.

(DRAMATIC SOUND EFFECTS)

Where are you going?

You forgot to pay your respects.

Father Judge loved a good square
fight.

Isn't that right?

I'll give you a little piece
of advice.

Keep your fucking stupid Indian
nose
out of where it don't belong.

You know I've killed so many
Injuns, I can hardly keep count.

So I guess one more is not going
to make any difference.

(SOUND OF CROWD JEERING)

Now, I don't reckon you'll heed
me.

But I'll tell you anyway.

Stay away from Bridget Mannion's
claim.

Understand?

Fuck you.

I was kind of hoping you'd say
that.

(SOUND OF CROWD JEERING)

Let me know if you want more.

You know where to find me.

Yeah, I know where to find you.

I know where to find you.
Bastard!

Your brother's debt paid in
full.

This is unexpected.

I was witness to this
afternoon's
excursion.

Was it your work?

The fire at the boarding house?

Say such a thing in public
and I will sue you for slander.

That isn't a 'no'.

And you have more motive
as a suspect.

S?amus will be released first
thing
tomorrow.

In the mean time I would avoid
him.

I saw him earlier and he did not
speak kindly of you.

Cross my family again,
you'll answer to me.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

S?amus shot your boy down but
he's
not a killer.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

I have relieved you of all debt.

The deed to the boarding house
plot
is yours.

Will you uphold your end
of the bargain?

We are clear on the terms?

I need to hear it said.

I will kill Tom.

SALOON MUSIC

(SOUND OF KNOCKING)

Yes?

The fate of the Connollys is
sealed.

I'm ready to do as you wish.

We may even return to Boston.

I will go where you go Jacob.

Come back here tonight at nine.

I have known only John Jacob.

When we lay, you will need
to forgive my modesty.

And you will need to forgive
my passion.

(BIRD SONG)

Well well, if it isn't
the three bears.

Mama bear, papa bear
and big shit stinking bear.

We've got unfinished business,
step into my office.

DRAMATIC MUSIC

(SOUND OF AN EXPLOSION)

DRAMATIC MUSIC

This place.

The Klondike.

Some people are meant to be here
and some ain't.

Me? Well I was born and built
for it.

But you? And you? No.

And more than anyone else do you
know who don't belong here?

These native Wahoos.

You prairie niggers, you're
lost.

You're dead.

You're just too stupid to
understand it.

How is the eye?

You see back at '90 I rode with
the 7th Cavalry at Wounded Knee.

I saw what Injuns was made
of that day.

Cowardly animals.

We cut them down like grass.
Three hundred of them before
breakfast.

It was a fine morning's work.

We got to sit here and listen
to your bullshit life story?

No, no you don't.

You. Sign that lease over to me
or this Injun is going to do a
little air jig for us.

You can't do this.

Looks like I already am.

I'll sign it. I'll sign.

Good girl.

Top of the class.

Bridget, don't.

You'll be signing under duress.

What's he fucking talking about?

You're really stupid aren't
you?!

Forcing a false signature,
it ain't legal.

It ain't legal?! It ain't
legal?!

You whore-mongering piece of
shit. She can just complain to
the Mounties.

You are one mouthy fucking
Injun.

Right boys, looks like we're
killing
them all.

(SOUND OF GUNSHOTS)

(SOUND OF GUNSHOT)

Did you forget me, you bastard?

You don't have the nerve, do
you?

(SOUND OF GUNSHOT)

(SOUND OF SCREAMING)

My fucking eye!

She shot my fucking eye out.

(SOUND OF SCREAMS)

My fucking eye!

(SOUND OF CRYING)

How was it brought about?
It's done. That's all.

The deed to your plot of ashes.

It may interest you to know that
your debt to me was paid by your
brother, Tom.

And so, our business is
concluded.

Welcome!

Lady Fortuna, will she smile on
you
or will she frown on you.

I've seen her frown and I much
prefer her smile.

Place your bets gentlemen,
place your bets.

'I wish I was on yonder hill.

Tis there I'd sit and cry my
fill.

And every tear would turn a
mill.

And may you go safely, my
darling

Go, go, go, my love

Go quietly and go peacefully

Go to the door and fly with me

And may you go safely, my
darling

I'll sell my rock,
I'll sell my reel.

I'll sell my only spinning
wheel.

To buy my love a sword of steel.

And may you go safely, my
darling

Go, go, go, my love

Go quietly and go peacefully

Go to the door and fly with me

And may you go safely, my
darling

Tom.

Tom.

Tom, are you there?

Tom, can you hear me?

I hear you.

But I'm trapped under here.

-My foot is stuck.
-I have you brother, I have you.

Wait a minute.

Be careful.

S?amus.

Are you alright?

S?amus!

Would you say something!

Are you alright?

I think I've broken my hand.

I'm sorry, Tom.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

You're alright.

Now...

..get out of here.

This place is ready to go.

Did you hear me? Get out of
here.

You're coming with me.

I'm trapped, S?amus. Get out of
here!

Go, go, go, my love

Go quietly and go peacefully

Go to the door and fly with me

And may you go safely, my
darling.

(SOUND OF BABY CRYING)

(SOUND OF BABY CRYING)

S?amus, listen to me.
You have to go.

Tom!

Tom!

(SOUND OF BABY CRYING)

(SOUND OF BABY CRYING)

Grab hold of his foot.

Good man, P?draig,

One more time. One more time.

One, two, three.

Good... Come on, come on, that's
it. Up you go. Careful.

Good man.
