As the second season of Hell on Wheels begins, Cullen Bohannon is on a mission to find his kidnapped son while continuing to work on the Union Pacific Railroad. In the first episode, entitled "Viva La Mexico," we find Bohannon traveling to Mexico in search of his child, who was taken across the border by his former slave-wielding wife. Along the way, he runs into a group of bandits who are intent on robbing a train. Bohannon jumps into action to stop the robbery but is faced with unexpected obstacles.

Back in the railroad camp, Thomas Durant is struggling to keep the construction moving forward amid financial difficulties. He turns to Lily Bell, the widow of a surveyor killed while working on the railroad, to help him secure the funds needed to continue. Meanwhile, Elam Ferguson, the former slave who now works on the railroad, is trying to adjust to his new position of power. He clashes with the Chinese workers on the railroad, but eventually learns to appreciate their hard work and sacrifices.

As Bohannon makes his way through Mexico, he meets up with a group of Mexican rebels who are fighting for their independence. He sympathizes with their cause and joins them in a fight against the local governor who is oppressing the people. Bohannon's knowledge of military tactics and weapons comes in handy as they plan their attack. In the end, the rebels emerge victorious, and Bohannon continues on his journey to find his son.

The first episode of Hell on Wheels season 2 sets the stage for what promises to be an action-packed season. The show's focus on the building of the railroad and the conflicts that arise from it is intriguing and offers a unique perspective on this pivotal time in American history. Bohannon's personal story adds another layer of depth to the show, and viewers will be rooting for him as he continues his journey to reunite with his son.

Overall, "Viva La Mexico" is a strong start to the second season of Hell on Wheels. The episode is well-paced and the action keeps viewers engaged from start to finish. With engaging characters, gripping storylines, and impressive production values, Hell on Wheels is a must-watch for fans of historical dramas and Westerns.
