Jamais Je Ne T'oublierai
"Jamais Je Ne T'oublierai" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American television drama series Hell on Wheels; it aired November 27, 2011 on AMC, and was written by Jami O'Brien, directed by Alex Zakrzewski, and produced by Tony Gayton, Joe Gayton, Jeremy Gold, and John Shiban. The episode centers on Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) continuing his vengeful quest of justice for his wife's murder; Lily Bell (Dominique McElligott) arriving at Hell On Wheels and learning more about her deceased husband's employer, Thomas Durant (Colm Meaney), and his railroad; and Elam (Common) finding solace in the arms of another social outcast, Eva (Robin McLeavy), a prostitute bearing a Cheyenne facial tattoo. Plot Twenty miles west of Hell On Wheels, at a logging camp, Cullen learns that the mysterious "Harper" has already cut and run — direction, north. Hot on the trail, Cullen spots a figure dressed in Civil War garb, atop a horse. While viewing Harper through a pocket telescope, he sees and hears the man firing at him. Cullen returns fire. Harper strikes first, wounding Cullen's horse, which ends the pursuit. Lily Bell enters the cemetery made for the massacre victims. Thomas Durant approaches the disheveled, blood-stained woman and assumes she is Robert Bell's widow. He assures her that she is safe and asks how she found the town. She tells him "a southerner" brought her to safety, and Durant correctly guesses he was Bohannon. Durant invites Lily to lodge in his Pullman coach for her duration at Hell on Wheels, offering her clothing, food, and a hot bath (none of which she's had access to in quite some time). When Durant asks Lily if he can get her anything, she requests the reward for her retrieval, so she can give it to the person who deserves it. She doesn't name him to Durant but personally delivers the reward to Joseph Black Moon (Eddie Spears). Ridiculed that Eva, a cut-rate prostitute, will bed anything but a black man, Elam takes offense. Eva pulls him aside and explains that she will allow him to be a private customer, but for both their sakes, they must keep their liaisons a secret from the white men. At their first secret rendezvous, Eva tells Elam of the day she was sold to Indians for "three blankets and a horse". They bond over the fact that both of them were considered slaves at one time. At the saloon, the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) reveals to Bohannon that he knows Bohannon killed Johnson, but he doesn't know why. The Swede later pays Bohannon some money to overlook the Swede and his men taking some black powder barrels coming in on the train tomorrow. Later, on the street, Reverend Nathaniel Cole (Tom Noonan) condemns Cullen's drinking to "wash away his wickedness". Cole speaks of his own involvement in the brutal massacre called "Bleeding Kansas", a late 1850s conflict over whether or not Kansas would enter the Union as a slave state or free state.
