Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount) is in way too deep in the labor strike ensuing in the Central Pacific in the upcoming episode of AMC's "Hell on Wheels."

In "Struck," Cartermatt reports that the skirmish is starting to get uglier as more violence erupt from both sides. Cullen will try to pacify the enmity of the Chinese and beseech them to see reason. He will have to look for a way to solve the conflict without more people getting hurt.

Meanwhile, Durant (Colm Meany) makes sure that Mickey (Phil Burke) is pulled slowly but surely into Union Pacific business. The website reveals that viewers will get to see more of the other railroad company as it moves closer to the same point in Utah where Pacific Central has its base. 

Last episode, Cullen continued to protect Fong's (A. Zhou) secret. Viewers saw how she came to be the way she was when her past was unveiled. In order to travel to America, the Chinese girl had no choice but to disguise herself as a man or be taken as a wife of an evil gangster. 

When their little village was attacked, she and her father concocted a plan to leave their old life behind. But to start anew, no one should know that Fong was actually a woman. Although he swore to Fong he would keep her true identity, Cullen was not yet privy on the repercussions once others realize that she was fooling them all along. She might even end up being shipped back to China.

Meanwhile, the Swede (Christopher Heyerdahl) could not help but rile Cullen. He longed for the day when the former confederate soldier was kneeling before him. On his spare time, he continued manipulating Chang (Byron Mann) to do his bidding. The Chinese had not realized yet that he was being used, until he found himself caught in the midst of his angry countrymen.

Phineas (Josh Caras) was also being wielded like a puppet by the Swede. His growing mistrust for his father was starting to get in between them. The Swede was still bidding his time until he could strike both Cullen and the Mormons. Elsewhere, the Irish rail workers lit the first stick of dynamite that started their vendetta with the Chinese. What happened next was pandemonium.

"Hell on Wheels" airs Saturday at 9 p.m. EST on AMC.
