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.

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.

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).

"If you haven't been watching yet, it's time to stamp your ticket because Hell On Wheels is settling itself in as another of AMC's great dramas.

The phrase refers both to the characters' lost loves, current dreams, homelands, and various vendettas, and to "A la claire fontaine", the French song (sung in the episode by Henri (Andrew Moodie)) with the following lyrics and translation: "Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, Jamais je ne t'oublierai."
