All language subtitles for Iron Horse s01e16 Hellcat

What?

your guns down.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Big English.

You're just going to have to trust me.

I'd rather trust a polecat.

You can learn language like that.

From hard cases like you.

But you're not going to put your brand
on me.

How do you know I'm not?

Try it and I'll put you to bed with a
pick and shovel.

You don't have to worry.

Then get this rope off me.

My name's Ben Calhoun. What's your name?

You're just a hard case to me.

Where are you headed?

Yellowstone.

Gunrunner? No.

Wolfer?

No.

You heading for Sioux Country?

That's right.

Before you see a Sioux, you gotta go
through Cheyenne and Crow. Any trail you

take, you're gonna lose your scalp.

All right.

I'll pay you.

For what?

The scout for me.

Where to?

I want to go to the Oklahoma trading
post.

It's burned out.

All right.

Up into the Sioux country.

You draw an army pay?

No.

I want to put some track through their
land for a railroad.

What railroad?

It's unimportant.

All right, I'll scout for you.

Good.

What's my pay?

What do you want?

Six horses.

You got them.

And, uh... Bach.

I want a Bach.

Makes music.

We lost.

Not for long.

You think he caught up with her yet?

He caught up.

Then he's got it all to himself.

And he's got the dust he took off
Gorham.

Well, she's got it.

She's only got a knife.

Unless it's buried in his throat by this
time.

You know, Yancy, I got a feeling she's
gonna like me.

Mr. Lanker?

With Gorham dead, you and me start from
scratch.

I'll play you one hand for it.

Your hand.

Look, there's their trail.

Yeah.

Yeah, boy.

That ain't hunting ground.

Learning your faith.

Thought I saw Cheyenne.

Well, did he see us?

I don't know.

You ever hunt buffalo?

Many times.

To eat?

Sometimes.

You don't eat everything you kill.

And why kill anything?

Buffalo hides have become a big
business.

Are you a Cheyenne?

Cheyenne's no good.

What tribe are you from?

Cheyenne's asking for 1 ,000 white women
as wives to have children. You know

why? They want to raise children and
teach them your way when the great

herds are gone.

There's nothing wrong with that.

You learn how to raise cattle, you don't
have to worry about the buffalo

disappearing. But to the Cheyenne, the
children belong to the mother's people.

If they hitch up with 1 ,000 white
wives, that's the end of the Cheyenne.

No white skin's worth a red skin, not
even a Cheyenne.

You ever fight an Indian?

When I had to.

How many red skins do you kill?

How many white skins have you and your
people killed?

But it's the Sue Arrow.

Buffalo Dance.

Where are they now?

Other side of the hill.

The horse of yours has been limping for
about the last hour. Take a look at him.

I still don't understand about the Sioux
arrow in the Cheyenne.

What's your explanation of it?

How come the Cheyenne aren't looking for
that Sioux right now?

Their arrows gotta sleep.

They won't travel in darkness.

We can trade her for double the hides
and four mules.

She's going to be hard to handle.

Though Cheyenne find us, nobody's going
to handle anybody.

Cheyenne don't move much around at
night.

Yancey, how about playing a hand for
right now?

No, Mr. Lanker.

It'll be more fun when she watches us.

You don't... What

are you mumbling about?

Say what white men say.

Learned a lot of bad words from white
men.

There are no good words from the white
man.

It's a good thing you speak some
English, because I sure don't speak much

Indian.

What do you got in the buffalo pox?

Here, try some.

No, thank you. It's good. It's buffalo
heart and liver.

After you.

You have a woman?

Give me a wife.

Same thing.

It's not the same thing.

But I don't have a woman either.

You know, if you had one wish, what
would you wish for more than anything

in the world?

Do you have a man?

You mean a husband?

Yes.

No.

There's someone waiting for you back at
your village.

Why were you on that trail alone?

I was on my way to the training post to
meet a Sioux scout.

Who?

His name was Touch the Sky.

Did you know him?

I saw him die.

Here, come on, have some.

Later, thank you.

How did he die?

He was gun whipped.

You deserve it.

Yes.

Thank you.

I'm afraid we don't run into the
Cheyenne.

Why won't you tell me your name?

Why should I?

Are you ashamed of me?

No.

Why'd you say that?

Never mind.

Nishima.

Nishima.

That's a very pretty name.

Mine's Calhoun.

Ben Calhoun.

You're just hard case to me.

Can you say Calhoun?

Say what?

Calhoun.

Try it.

I don't think you can say it.

What do you bet?

That's two horses.

That makes eight horses if I win?

That's right.

Shake hands.

Calhoun. No.

You lost.

I said it right.

You back and out.

All right.

I lose.

Try it again.

Calhoun.

Now you'll only give me four horses.

That's right.

Did your people burn that trading post?

No. Gorham burned it down.

He was the buffalo hunter you killed.

Touch the sky caught him cheating at a
trade.

Did you like touch the sky?

No.

He was a meat hunter for the whites.

You traded with him.

What are you?

What tribe?

You can see for yourself.

Are you Sue?

Were you taken from your people when you
were young?

No.

I left.

For an army deserter from the 7th
Cavalry.

All he ever did was beat me.

Why didn't you run away?

He sold me to a woofer.

Still could have run away.

Woofer sold me to a beaver man.

Beaver man sold me to Kellogg.

Buffalo Hunter.

I remember three days when he didn't
beat me.

I learned buffalo lingo from him.

Kellogg sold me to three men.

Three? Yeah. You killed one of them.

Who are the other two?

Lanker and Yancey.

And you be quick if we come across them.

Why would we come across them?

Why would they follow you into Cheyenne
country?

Certainly not for a couple of mules and
buffalo hides they traded for you.

For an Indian, I talk too much.

Sometimes talk is good for you.

Not for me.

Now you've had no one you can trust.

You want to, you can trust me.

If that spider had bitten you, you'd
have died of a fever.

I don't see any spider.

And I see no reason to trust you.

You hit that spider with your hand?

Poison's in you. You're sick with fever.

Geese are heading north.

To Sioux country.

The fever's cooked out.

What's that melody you're playing?

It's about a girl who marries the summer
and steals the star.

And her love's so strong that trees
are...

Torn up by their roots.

And there's a flash of lightning and
thunder rolls.

And flames go through her body.

Oh, Ben Calhoun.

You talked so crazy when you were sick
with fever.

You kept saying B, P, S, and D. B, P, S,
and D. B, P, S, and D.

What does that mean?

It's the name of my railroad.

You didn't know I was the president of a
railroad, did you?

When we get to the bottom, we'll be out
of Cheyenne country.

Now you're earning your pay.

Then all we gotta do is tangle with the
crow.

You hate them too, huh?

Worse than the Cheyenne.

Almost as bad as you hate me.

Crow sell their hides to the men who
carry them east on the trains.

They're not hunters, they're butchers.

Just a warning.

You want us to go back, Cheyenne?

Thank you.

We're gonna stop here and take out that
arrow.

No, not here.

Medicine tree.

Top of hill.

Medicine tree.

Long time ago, an Indian was bushwhacked
here.

He shot all his arrows at the enemy.

The magic of this tree filled his quiver
with more arrows.

There's a little magic in this tree that
could fill your veins with some fresh

blood to replace what you lost.

There is.

Cut off some of my hair.

Put it in the sheep's horn.

Now this medicine tree will give me
fresh blood.

Make me strong.

Give me my medicine, my love.

Rest here till tomorrow.

There'll be crews coming here tonight.

That pile of stone says the sick baby is
going to be brought to the tree for

medicine.

I'll be all right once I get on my feet.

We'll take the whiskey road.

Keep out of their way.

headed due north so country let's turn
back no she ain't worth it the dust is

how do you figure we'll split right down
the middle let's try whiskey road

how far for the medicine wheel and the
big horns

This is the medicine wheel.

We come here to talk to our dead.

Any sign of the crows showing up
tonight?

This is Sioux country.

How does your shoulder feel?

Are you tired?

It's safe to rest here.

I like your food.

There's no taste of tallow like in our
buffalo kidneys.

Our meat spoils.

Well, when we get the railroad finished,
we'll be bringing a lot of fresh meat

up here.

In snow?

In ice.

Your train will carry buffalo meat?

It'll carry all kinds of meat.

In fact, when we get it finished, I'm
going to give you a ride on the train

east, Kansas City.

Big Village?

Very big.

Where women paint their faces like
Indians?

Well, yeah, a little, but a different
kind of fighting.

What kind of fighting?

Well, it's trying to make themselves
look prettier.

For a man.

Try to get him on his knees and make him
propose.

You mean to beg?

Yeah,

I suppose you could call it that.

A man should never beg.

He should take his woman like he takes a
pony.

Without begging.

Let me ask you something.

A while back, what was it I said that
got you so upset?

Upset?

Something happened.

Try that again and I'll blow your head
off.

Why should you carry it?

One handful totes it.

You deal.

They're going to be worth those hides
and those two mules.

How many cards?

One.

I'll take two.

Your neck.

What you got?

Aces and jacks.

3 -9.

Now to healthcare.

I'll deal.

How many?

Just one.

I'll take two.

She's all mine.

What do you got?

Three queens.

And we'll leave the gunfighter for
Bussard, ain't you?

Full house.

Why don't you go see about our horses?

We can bury them and be on our way.

They're not worth burying.

Untie me.

No.

You think I guided you here for six
horses and a music box?

You know what it means for a Sioux to
leave her people for a white man?

It means I have no face, no name, no
tribe, no nation.

It means no one will honor my spirit
after I'm dead.

It means shame for my family.

It means I disgrace my people.

It means I was no longer a Sioux.

But now... Now I'll be taken back.

Because of you.

Me? Yes.

You mean your people will forgive you
for running away with an army deserter

because of me?

Yes. That smoke signal I just sent, you
know what I told them?

I told them I was going to deliver my
captive alive.

Right now, there are Sioux warriors
riding out to escort us back to my

To become a Sioux again, I must bring in
the enemy.

You'll be buried alive.

I never fought the Sioux.

You are a worse enemy. I saw your iron
horse cross the plains in the south.

I saw people shoot buffalo from your
train.

I saw people laugh as they rode past
carcasses rotten in their own juices to

eaten by wolves and buzzards.

Now you come north with your railroad
into our hunting ground.

No.

If we don't stop you, your train will
leave a trail of buffalo blood and our

children will have to eat our dogs or
die.

Do that again and I'll take you into
that village at the end of a rope.

I like you.

Why, you want to see me buried alive?

That's because I hate you.

In our religion, there's a time to like
and a time to hate.

In our religion, we do good even for
those that hate us. Or at least we try.

Your religion's a good one.

But there are some things you just don't
know.

You mean like that suit that's following
us?

Who is he?

Redshirt.

He was my warrior until I left my
people.

Why is he hanging back?

The law of my tribe.

He must see with his own eyes that I'm
finished with the white man.

He must see me bringing in the enemy.
Then Redshirt will accept me as a Sioux

and take me as his wife.

Why didn't he put an arrow in me?

It's forbidden.

I'm supposed to bring the enemy in all
by myself.

But he is the one that put the arrow in
the giant.

He busted the law.

Well, I'm glad he did.

You're crazy riding north.

Came to build a railroad.

Never see a railroad out here.

If I don't build it, somebody else will.

Progress is the law of all people.

One day you'll see the railroad and
replace the horse.

You buckheads with those blue warriors.
They'll kill you on sight when they see

me like this.

You sure that as long as you're not
taking me in as a captain, those friends

yours are going to fill me full of air?

When they get finished with you, you'll
look like a sorry porcupine.

Change of heart?

Maybe.

I'd head right back if I were you.

Right back to Scalp Lock.

You could be right.

I know I'm right.

I'm really glad it turned out this way.
I didn't have any stomach for seeing you

buried alive.

Scalp lock. That's a crazy name for a
village. You know what that means?

The long lock of hair your Sioux friends
will be wearing when they come after

me. It means a challenge to the enemy.

You keep that in mind on your way back.

Where are you going?

Where are you taking me?

Get your pony.

Where are we hidden?

Sioux Village.

You crazy?

You'll be screaming three days before
you die.

That's my worry. Grab and get your pony.

All right, move out.

This letter from the Indian commissioner
says you'll never allow buffalo

slaughtering from your train.

And it also says I never will.

The chief says it is good.

Why didn't you tell me about this
letter?

It wasn't meant for you.

The

chief

says that you've proved yourself a
warrior.

That you did as you promised.

Came alone.

You crossed the land of the Cheyenne and
the Crow, and you came to the Sioux as

a man.

It took an awful chance.

Gambling for high stakes.

And you've won them.

The Sioux will allow you to bring your
railroad into our land.

Our land?

Yes.

I, too, have proved myself.

What happened to me...

Has not happened.

I am once more of my people.

I am a Sue.

Goodbye, Ben Calhoun.

Got it right that time.

Good luck to you.
