An Klondike (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Episode #2.2 - full transcript

[crowd roaring]

[lively traditional music
playing]

Still taking bets
on these mighty pugilists!

Still taking bets!

[roaring continues]

You have him now, Mici!

You have him!

A new one, Paud,
seeing you here.

Stay back from him Mici!
Did I not tell you,
use your reach!

I need to talk to you about
the hospital.

Have a bed ready for Mici!



[laughs]

[crowd booing]

Oh, Mici!

Mici, you can't do that!

[all cheering]

That's enough!

Mici, this'll cheer you.

Your share of
tonight's winnings.

How have you winnings?

You bet against me?

Ah well, I wanted you to win.

But betting money
is another thing.

You had the longer reach.

You should have used it.



It wasn't a fair fight anyhow.

It was not, faith.

I thought you'd knock yer man's
balls down into his boots!

[laughter]

[woman] You're a Connolly,
aren't ya?

I am.

How much?

How much what,
you poor creature.

To put it up.

[whispers]

[laughs]

Christ!

You're getting richer than
the Klondike Kings!

And faster than ye lads digging
in the dirt day after day.

I'm no man's slave.

[theme music playing]

[Belinda]
We see too little of you,
Mrs. Hopkins.

[Estella] I have been
much occupied,
Miss Mulrooney.

So I can loan you
the two nearest girls,

Gertie and Edith.
Dollar dances only.

-Nothing upstairs.
-Naturally.

Tell me, does Kate Mulryan
still sing here?

When she's up to it.

Do you tell me she's unwell?

Kate suffered
a very bad setback.

A private matter,
you understand.

Life here is dreadful enough
without added troubles.

It may be time Miss Mulryan
returned to the greater world.

If she needs financial aid
in moving on,

I'm happy to contribute.

I never slaved
like this in my life.

Ah Mici,
you call this slaving?

It's not play acting.

When I was below in Montana,

I was caught trying to
steal silver under my tongue
from the mine.

They put myself and Tom
to hard labour.

Oh cousin, that was slaving.

Back home,

my brother Dan was put working
the quarry for poaching salmon.

Oh, that was fairly harsh,
wasn't it?

It was harsh alright.

We were the Connollys
who killed the Peeler.

While we're telling tales,

I heard one in town.
I heard you were in a gun duel

with a fella named Hopkins.

You were bound to hear it
sooner or later.

-Who told you?
-Who?

Sure you're famous.

Seamus Connolly,
the gunslinger.

Stop that now.
I did nothing
but make a widow.

And what was the cause?

Dumb pride and other shite.

It's all behind me now.

I've a notion there was
a woman in it.

I've to head down
and get Padraig set up.

Mici, you'll hear
a store of things
about us in town.

Don't believe everything.
If anyone asks,

you tell them,

"Sure the Connolly brothers,

they're as quiet as lambs."

What will you say?

"Quiet as lambs."

That's it, Mici.

Quiet as lambs.

[Belinda]
It's not an area
I've dabbled in,

salvaging from shipwrecks.

We're discussing
an entirely unknown cargo.

That's how salvage rights
are auctioned.

What's on board is pot luck.

But she was steaming
for Dawson City.

It is sure to be
useful provisions.

My Lord Carbonneau,
is this in your own hand?

It is handsome.

I suffered under
the most ruthless tutors
in all of France.

[all laughing]

We divide the cargo equally.

-By weight.
-Half for Madame.

And half between...

Your trusted business partners.

Come when you like.

Take all the hot water
you want, soap, towels.

It will make the world of
difference, Tom.

[coughing]

God help us.

We keep the Cholera in here

and the Typhoid up
in the church.

There's no hope for a man
who gets hit with both.

Oh! Hot as the devil's tail.

Thank you, Tom!

Thank you.

Doctor...

Water and towels.

[chuckles]

We slam the stable door,
gentlemen,

but this horse is long gone.

You mind yourself first, right?

You've a wife to think of.

Tom...

You saved lives today.

El Soo.

I've been... thinking of you.

Oh.

Sometimes I go to
Skookum Jim's burial place.

I go there to
soothe his spirit.

Oh, right.

I will visit him tomorrow.

Will you come?

Yes.

Yes, I'd like that very much.

I will come to your claim
at dawn.

Do you know him?

That Indian.

I know that he travels
with the Judge.

And he acts like a ghost.

[Judge] You stand
trial before me
and you ride free.

What's your alternative?

My alternative is that you put
some lead in Sam Steele

and unlock this fucking cage.

-Sam Steele has our firearms.
-Yeah.

We'll have our man here
slit his fucking throat.

Trial's in three days.

You wait.

Before the moose hunt,

we keep dogs tied up,

hungry for a few days.

See them get on the moose
after that.

What's he fucking
talking about? Huh?

What's this fucking Indian...

Am I dog now?

Am I a fucking dog? Is he
calling me a fucking dog--

Son...

-Yes, Judge.
-I'd like you to have this.

Thank you.

In dark times,
the Bible is a wise guide

and a loving companion.

Praise the Lord.

Amen, your Honor.

[singing in Irish]

[baby crying]

[gasping]

[cries in anguish]

Get on home.

Bridget will tear
strips off you
if you're late.

Doctor Dunn is
drunk asleep again.

I'll stay 'til he wakes.

Padraig, listen. I'm here.

You go on home. Rest.

Make that lovely stew
for Bridget.

We're needed tomorrow
and after.

Are you Padraig Connolly?

Uh... yes.

Yes, your Honor.

You're witnessing
against Captain Galvin?

Son, you certain
of what you saw?

Yes, sir.

Captain Galvin tried
to hang Jim
and then he shot him.

I hear this Skookum Jim,

was the combative
hard-drinking type Indian.

Jim was a good man--

Also hear Captain Galvin
knows bad men.

Have you considered that?

Captain Galvin has to pay
for his murdering.

You can count on me
for the trial.

You're a stalwart.

But that don't stop bullets.

I guess you've a few days
to think on it.

You and Bridget Mannion...

[whistling]

[gasps]

El Soo.

I'm Mister Angel,
from the Mi'kmaq tribe.

Is that a Mi'kmaq greeting?

Whistle like a bird
and pounce like a wolf?

El Soo speaks to white men
without brother.

El Soo needs a husband,

to call her nigumaach.

And you need to be on your way.

Tom!

Come here.

Is it true someone
tried to blow you up?

Below in the mine?

That's how I got this gimp.

Who'd do that to you?

The order came
from Jacob Hopkins.

From the Golden Nugget.

Steer clear of him.

You never went after him?

What did I tell you
about hunting
out stories on us?

Listen, you're being paid
the same as those lads.

You have to work your share.

And you know
that this is a dry claim.

[Estella] I've allowed you here
to say goodbye.

[baby crying]

I recommend San Francisco.

I'll provide your fare,
rent you an apartment,

you can begin a new life.

I am offering
a substantial sum.

You're trying
to buy him from me.

No. Moses is entirely mine.
I've been clear about that.

I can feed him, I have milk.

And I have a wet-nurse!
Give him to me!

-You're using laudanum.
-I am not.

I know the smell of laudanum.
Give him to me this instant!

-No, no please. He's my child!
-Billy!

Please, he's my child.

Please, he's mine.
Please don't take him!

[cries] No!

Please, he's my child!

-[baby crying]
-[shushing]

The judge was asking

if we wanted to
get out of giving
evidence at the trial.

He was saying how Captain Pat
has dangerous friends.

A judge should be
herding up all the witnesses
he can find.

Don't worry.
We'll give evidence.

Listen Padraig, have ye
anything to protect yourselves?

It's a nice piece.

You'd do plenty of damage
to timber with it.

But it's another thing
altogether, going at a man.

-Bridget has her little pistol.
-That pea shooter?

She's well able to shoot it.

I know, and I saw
the eye patch
on Captain Pat.

But she didn't kill him.

Come up to our claim.
Take one of Tom's revolvers.

One of them?
How many has he?

You'd think he was
starting an army.

Ah, Mici.

Your first wages,
here's to you.

Is this the lot?

That's it.
To the ounce, yeah.

No fear of me getting rich
at this rate.

You won't get rich
crawling in and out
of whores' cots either.

[horse neighing]

Pat...

How many miles would
a man travel to
find your like again?

Oh, many thousands.

And only finding
a poor likeness then.

I'd need to look
at more of you.

Tom talks to me like
I was a common labourer.

That's how Tom talks
when he's working.

I'm due more respect.

He shouldn't forget
the mess left to us
back in Ros Muc.

For God's sake.
Don't go looking
for a rise out of Tom,

or you'll be sorry.

There he strides,
the bollock puncher.

-What's that?
-Punching a man below the belt.

Like a woman
protecting herself.

Come on, so.
I'll punch you above,
below and anywhere else.

Save it for the ring, Mici.
Get paid for your bruises.

[shouting] They're all filthy.
Savage. Animals.

Is he after losing the head?

Animals!

Are we going in?

Savage Irish animals!

We'll see does he piss down
on us in here.

[lively music playing]

I want to get drunk, Mici.

As drunk as a f***ing pig.

Alright so.

[Bridget] They're saying
the trial is in two days.

Yeah. Didn't I meet
the Judge today.

After that,
we buried four men
in one grave.

We said a few prayers,
but you couldn't
call it a funeral.

Doctor Dunn isn't coping.

[sighs]

You're thinking of staying on.

But we're going home
after the trial.

That's what we agreed.

When we first met,

you pointed a gun at me.

I suppose scissors
is an improvement.

We're going home
after the trial.

[dogs barking]

[snoring]

[suspenseful music playing]

[snores loudly]

[breathing heavily]

It is precisely half the cargo,

as agreed with Miss Mulrooney.

We precisely asked by weight,

not by actual value.

We got here first
and claimed the half

that happened to be whiskey.

-It is not juste.
-Juste?

Of course, it's not juste.

It's simply our good fortune.

And Lady Luck doesn't
balance her fucking blessings
on a scale.

Oh, fucking hell!

[El Soo] This is where I come
to be with Skookum Jim.

Do you know Jim could
weigh gold in his hand?

To the ounce.

Jim could do everything.

Except dance.

He was terrible to watch.

[both laughing]

Do you remember, El Soo,

when you told me
my heart was stopped

and it was closed like a fist?

I'm living with
my brother again.

And... I took in a fool cousin.

I've tried to change.

My heart's not stopped anymore.

Where's the whiskey?

Belinda, they left you
with nothing
but Wellington boots.

How many pairs, Dan?

Maybe five hundred.
And look.

They left you a sample
of their cargo.

The final insult!

Ha! The cheapest of rotgut.

I wouldn't rub down
a horse with it.

I'll get a few boys
together and we'll
teach them a lesson.

Dan, you'll do no such thing.

They're fine boots.

Look.

So, Jim finally
returns to camp.

He has this little sack
of bear claws.

He's shouting, "Father! I have
wrestled and killed a Grizzly!'

With only my knife!"

[both laughing]

What age was he?

He was hardly even a boy.

And Isaac said,

"Little Brother,
was it difficult

to wrestle a bear that has
been dead for five days?"

Jim stuck to his story.

It's not so different
from my own time,

with the brothers.

Jim

gave the claws to me
for a necklace.

Hey...

God, I missed you.

I felt like only half a man
without you.

I'll talk to Isaac.

No.

-No, you cannot.
-I have to.

After the last time,
it's the right thing.

No.

Since Jim's murder,
Isaac is completely
set against the whites.

It'll be all right.

I'll do what he wants.
Look, I'll do anything.

No, Tom.

We have today,
but we cannot be together.

You've the day slept out.

If you're not happy with
your pay now,

you'll like it less
when Tom clips it for you.

My stomach is like
a boiling kettle.

[man] Murder! Two innocent
white men killed by Indians!

Murder! Murder!

Injuns.
Injuns I tell ya!

It was Injuns, y'all.
I'm telling you,
it was like an attack.

Straight from the old wars.

The Indians around here
aren't Wild Comanches.

How do you know this wasn't
done by a bear?

Bears don't sport
scalping knives, no, sir.

I'll stake my claim on it!

I'll stake my scalp on it!

-This was two innocent
white men.
-That's enough.

-This was Indians.
-Move on.

Two white men!

The Indians stripped them
down to their flannels

and scalped them.

Imagine,
like the fucking Wild West.

Savages.

Savages?

Yes, savages.

There's dangerous men up here.

You keep your head
down in town.

They're afraid of us Connollys.

Seamus the gunslinger.

And yourself, Tom.

What about me?

You killed a Peeler
with your bare hands.

A clean scrap no doubt
and you had no choice.

Mici...

Watch now what you say next.

Then ye disappeared.

Ye left it all behind you.

And us Connolly Bans
behind you too.

They put Dan to slaving
in the quarry.

And you thinking
there's nothing owed.

Over here, getting rich.

You're making a bad mistake.

I'm not.

You made me do it this way.

Blackmail?

Don't call it blackmail.

I only want my due.

And what do you think
you're due?

I've been pricing claims.

-'Tis no game for poor tinkers.
-How much?

Fifteen thousand.

Gold or cash,

whichever's handy.

I'm gonna have
to head up there,
see about these murders.

Let me gallop up there.

Mister Angel will
know for sure if
it was an Indian attack.

This wasn't Indians.

Least, it wasn't
our local tribes.

They're fishermen and hunters.

So you got a theory?

These men were probably killed
for their gold.

See my hunch is,
there was a grudge involved.

I have to go
to Dawson City,

identify the victims.

Judge Lewis, while I'm gone,

I'm asking you to be the law
here in Dominion Creek.

This is the last time
I find you like this.
Do you hear me?

Leave me be.

Sometimes babies die.

It's terrible but it happens.

But we go on with our lives.

He's not dead, alright?

-What?
-The baby.

He's alive.

Estella Hopkins has him.

You're not making sense.

I left him in the woods.
Estella found him.

She's keeping him.

You left him,
thinking he was dead?

She calls him Moses.

Kate, I asked you,
did you think he was dead?

You left him out there to die?

He didn't die. He's alive.

You left your child to die?

Out. I want you out.

You will never
set foot here again.

Pack your things and go.

Belinda...

Keep your dresses.
Go to whoever will have you.

But I will not.

You come here again,
I'll put you in the ground,
still breathing.

Ah Tom, we can't be strangers
to each other.

We're family.

Ah, fuck!

Fuck it!

You bastard!

That's how you use
a long reach.

Stay well out of mine
if you want to live.

Connolly! How long does it take
to wash an Indian?

He's ten minutes left.
Nothing to stop you
hopping in.

You don't expect me to bathe
with a fucking Indian?

If you brush up
on your fucking manners,
he might just let you.

[Padraig] I want to
talk about Kate Mulryan.

Did she send you?

I'm done employing her.
That's the end of it.

No, Belinda.

I just want to know
how she is.

I know her engagement
to Sam Steele is off.

But I've seen Kate lately.

Is there something
wrong with her?

You care about her?

Well you know,
she and I sort of
courted last year.

Kate had a child
two months ago.

She had me believe
he died at birth,
but he's alive.

Estella Hopkins has him.

She's keeping him.

[Kate singing]

[Judge] I reckon Sam Steele
will be gone for a week.

Yeah. So cut me loose.

The minute this town
sees you cut loose,

we gotta take to our heels.

I've got heels, so do you.

Don't Mister Angel look sweet?

He got himself acquainted
with a local squaw.

It's getting romantic.

Whoop-a-di-doo, maybe I can be
his fucking bridesmaid.

And while I got the run
of this town,

I think I deserve a taste too.

Get me out of this cage,
you son of a pox-riddled whore.

I asked you before,

leave my mother out of things.

We leave Dominion Creek,

when I'm done with
Dominion Creek.

She drinks Laudanum
and goes off into them woods.

Dancing or who knows what.

You see her today?

Yes. Not an hour ago.

[man] Place your bets,
gentlemen! Place your bets!

Will Lady Fortune
caress you tonight?

All bets are off!

You will not prevent me
seeing my son.

-Your son,
what are you talking about?
-John Jacob.

The boy needs correction.

-He continues
to pine for Boston.
-John Jacob?

It's the Typhoid.

-He has the Typhoid!
-Colonel!

Please, take to your bed.

I will bring John Jacob
to your side.

You can't just leave.

My boy, it was an epidemic,
now it's a plague.

I've done all that I can.

I will gamble with my health
no longer.

-You're a fucking doctor.
-Yeah.

And I've had a bellyful
of that too.

Let him go, Padraig.

He's only good for
drinking now anyway.

Doctor.

You're a fine girl, Maud.
And a fine nurse.

God bless you.

If you two got any sense,

you'd take to the hills
and hide this one out.

[inaudible]

Kate!

Kate Mulryan!

Kate!

Kate!

[Kate humming]

Kate Mulryan!

-Kate!
-[shushing]

Kate, are you here?

Kate, are you here?

[gunshot]

[indistinct chatter]

Oh no!

Get out of the way!

Oh no! Kate...

Kate? Kate?

Oh child,
what have you done?

What have you done?

Padraig, the sun's
not down on you

begging for soap
and water off me.

I know, but that bath house
is the perfect set-up

for spreading
Cholera and Typhoid.

Please just shut it down
for a few weeks.

Until the epidemic
is under control!

We shut the bath house
for one week,

someone else will open.

And we'll be out of business
for good.

Look, Padraig.

Write down
the disease symptoms

and we'll catch them
outside the bath house.

That's no solution, Tom!

There's men
you wouldn't know it
to look at them.

Fuck it, Padraig!

Aren't you going home
after the trial?

Three days?

That hospital is not
your responsibility.

I caught the end
of your speech
that night, Tom.

"Dominion is our home..."

"The Connollys will do
their bit to keep it clean."
Huh?

Come here.

Here. Take this.

Tonight, I'll put
two more dead men
in my wheelbarrow.

Two men who never
knew each other.

But I'll bury them together
like brothers.

Tom, I beg you.

Close up for a few days.

It might make
all the difference.

Get out of that hospital.

Take your bride home
to Ireland.

We're not closing.

[pipe playing in distance]

El Soo!

This is Mister Angel,

of the Mi'kmaq tribe.

He has come with a proposal.

My darling Jacob.

I'm so sorry,
but you have papers to sign.

It's for our son.

It's for our John Jacob.

[Nellie and Judge Lewis
laughing]

Judge Lewis,
we're in mourning here.

I must ask for your respect.

Mourning who?
That whore who shot herself?

My pal got betrothed today.

And I'm celebrating.

I allow no prostitution
in this hotel.

And, well, you know it!

Prostitution? Why, this here
is my Irish rose!

I think I might just get
betrothed myself!

[laughs lasciviously]

Oh.

While Sam Steele's out
hunting killers,

this town is mine.

So Miss Mulrooney,
you best button your lip.

And, Nellie darlin',
get ready to unbutton yours.

[Nellie laughs]

Dan, get your horse.

I need you to
ride like the devil.

You have to find Sam Steele.
Hurry.

Mici went about it
the wrong way,

but maybe the Connolly Bans
were due something
for what happened.

You found a way
to take his side.

He blackmailed me.

Well, at any rate,
he's gone now.

I shouldn't have let him go.

He's not done with mischief.

What else could you have done?

Mici could still
ruin everything
we've done here.

We're still under
British rule here.

He could...

-He could ruin me.
-You won't lay a hand on him.

For God's sake.

I'll deal with Mici Ban.

No one needs to get hurt.

Throw away that bloody shirt.
