Original subtitles

I am not the fine man you take me for

No no

I come in April to sell a string of horses

and try my luck

in the streams

What I got for the stock

I lost at the wheel,

and the flake I washed up

I drank the fuck away

I don't know as I'll get home at all

I sold my boots

I owe $9 to a whore

It looks like he

fell off the platform

It's just a broke-necked hoople, Al

That he posed us no threat was the judgment you come to even as you fuckin' snored

Turns on watch, Johnny,

until this Goddamn Hearst business settles out

And not that we lack options

like the sleep from which none awaken

Would you close your flap,

that I don't forego my boiled eggs?

Do you believe the speeches will be delivered tonight?

The speeches

the elections are hostage to the business of the camp,

which is bloody�

murderous

And, you know�

I don't like this tea

Too cool?

It's too weak

I do not make weak tea

I oughtn't to tease

I like mine unusually strong

You might have said, Seth

It's an easy thing to fix

You're right

I'm not a mind reader

I've said it now

My goodness

How am I?

I could wish your symptoms

further remitted

I find your answer vague

Doctor, has your medicine

dulled my faculties or do you wish to cloud your meaning?

You don't do as well as I'd hoped

Am I know losing my baby?

My opinion is

you will

And your symptoms make it prudent

to intervene

You're pained at the stomach

I'd

I'd laid that

to, to your medicine slowing my digestion

The spasm in the

muscles of your belly doesn't owe to slowed

digestion

And while you are bleeding less, that you bleed at all

with pain at the abdomen

argues against further delay

Have I time

to see to certain arrangements?

May I begin to see to mine?

I should be back in about�

an hour and a half's time

Put your school things together, little one

If we know Hearst is coming, Boss,

why the fuck don't we strike first?

From the moment we leave the forest, Dan,

it's all a giving up and adjusting

Across the thoroughfare to slit that cocksucker's throat

We forego the rock

for the dagger,

arn distraction's use and deceptions

before the dagger is employed

spirits, women,

games of chance

I'm older, and I'm much less friendly to fuckin' change

Change ain't lookin' for friends

Change calls the tune we dance to

Where are you going?

Whiskey, Captain?

Morning, Miss Sunshine

Mornin', Cy

What can you tell a man at the margin of things?

Reason for these

cancelled speeches?

I don't know why they was cancelled

You seem a little sour

Don't think

lying here these weeks, I ain't had my dark moments

Thank God I took this book up again

If it really brings you peace, then I'm glad

Hell, yes, it brings me peace

Do you doubt that?

I try to believe

You want to read something with me, Honey?

"Same as you want to find a different way, then why couldn't Cy?"

Getting gut-stabbed by a Minister of God will

bring you to examine your path

But I don't

I had a gun to my ear at Shaunessy's yesterday

What the hell were you doing at Shaunessy's?

Staying away from here

You listen to me, young lady

What brings a gun to the temple

is lack of gainful occupation and of being useful to others!

I don't see you try to kill yourself here

All you do here is good for the girls, and me too

I don't want to run women no more

And that's turning from your gift

and your training!

When you speak, I feel like it's the devil talking

Ain't that a lovely thing to hear yourself accused of?

Excuse me, Mr. T, but

fucking Lila's in extremis

Jesus Christ!

Ought I get the Doc?

Leon seems over his head

She'll see to it

Yeah

Try to stay afloat from the fuckin' sickbed,

have to listen to something like that

Get the fuck inside, Leon,

before I take out my gun and kill you!

Joanie this ain't the way it looks

Get inside or get shot!

Well, hold her up then!

Got a long fuckin' way to fall down

Let me die, Joanie

Start walking, you lousy whore

Start walking

Slept inside, in case you wasn't aware

Miss Stubbs' request

Thought she'd try someone competent keeping watch

She's off to the Bella Union

I can't worry about her right now

Can you just help me lug in the fucking water?

I'm for the day

off the bottle

and about to bathe

Camp get up a petition?

I can sniff this all you want, Boss, but I

I ain't got one fuckin' scintilla of an idea what these marks mean

What if that's the door of our joint?

That would make

this line

the bar

What would that make the Xs?

Murderers?

See to your task with the Jew

A few fuckin' things history proves:

you sit still,

you fuckin' memorize, you repeat back what you fuckin' learn,

or,

choosing otherwise,

you display your knuckles to be struck fuckin' bloody on the fuckin' desk!

That how you gonna

start your talk to the children?

Shut the fuck up, Mose!

And don't tease me at a crucial fuckin' hour

Can I

listen?

From outside,

at your post near the shitter

Could you have been born, Richardson,

and not egg-hatched as I've always assumed?

Did your mother hover over you,

snaggle-toothed and

doting, as you now hover over me?

I loved my mother

Puberty may

bring you to understand

what we take for mother love

is really murderous hatred and a desire for revenge

Will you give your speech to be Mayor tonight?

Whatever night I give it,

count on me not to mince words

"Electors of the camp,

as to who should serve as Mayor,

reasonable men may differ

But as to who should be Sheriff�

we all ought to speak with one voice

And our words should be,

'turn out the maniac Bullock,

who set upon the Mayor

unprovoked, who beat him

with merciless protraction.'

Bullock should be murdered!

We should rise up

and murder Bullock!

Thank you very much."

My father didn't like me

I'd like to use your ointment to suffocate you

May the little one walk with you?

Is that all right?

Of course

My mother's sick

We're closed for the next 15 minutes

Whiskey

Beer

I'm concerned it might be taken as provocation

me serving his whiskey before you getting your beer, or the very reversal of that

Just bring the whiskey

Fuckin' beer

And

these others, they friends of yours

that come in on your heels?

You friends of these boys, fellas?

Should I be taking your orders

all together?

And was yours the fuckin' beer?

Mine was the fuckin' whiskey

Right then

Right you fuckin' are

Make a move, cocksuckers!

Don't you shoot 'em, Johnny!

If these fellas had been sent here to draw,

I believe they'd have already done it

Go ahead

Go on, fellas

Mind the muck at the thoroughfare center

Debates are on for tonight,

whoever you might want to tell

I'll drink after I've ate

Nuh-uh, no no

You don't want

you don't want to go in there

Definitely a prudent investment

If I could control even one of my vices,

believe me,

I'd have kept the house myself

Excuse me

Oh, no

That's what these are for

Whether I ever fucking live there or not

My husband and I agreed

before marrying that

property held by either of us

before our union would not be encumbered by our

marriage

As to such properties held�

by me�

I name my ward Sofia

inheritor

I've heard her

I wish no amendment

as to guardianship

or administration of those properties

I've heard her

Ought not Mr. Bullock be present to accept?

This is property before our marriage

I know what it is

Don't he need to accept,

being steward now to Sofia's interests?

Why don't I go fetch him?

We have a special guest with us today

Miss Jane Cannary

An Indian scout!

There's a child I know

Sofia

Anyways, um,

I was a scout for Armstrong Custer

George

You're right, but I always called him

"General" to his face,

and "Armstrong" behind his back

Why?

James

I guess I�

always spoke of him as "Armstrong"

'cause he seemed puffed up to me,

and "Armstrong" has a puffed up sound

Any quarrel with me continuing, James?

Go ahead

Uh-oh

Why say "uh-oh"?

If you don't mean to go on to explain yourself,

why say anything at all?!

Do you only feign stupidity while in fact plotting ways to madden me?!

No

Why did you say it?

Why did you say "Uh-oh"?!

It's the Sheriff that beat you

Now comes Mr. Hearst

Gentlemen

Two of his men throat-cut,

and he he picks the fuckin' fish

Why do you think the men were his?

My wife would like to see you

Kinda warm

The man

didn't listen

his basic fundamental problem

He'd look at hisself in the mirror when you'd make your report

Once I said to him

how thin his waist was�

and how pretty I found his hair,

use to get him to turn around,

which he did

to tell me get out of his tent

So�

I guess my lesson I got to teach you

listen

and you won't get scalped

And don't look at yourself too much in the mirror

What else I found puffy

he traveled with a dozen caged animals like you'd see in some zoo in the east

Like we don't have enough wild animals around here, huh?

Let us all thank Jane

for her bravery here today

Thank you, Jane

I know another brave person here, too

Several

More

More more more more

More more

All right

Wider

Not you!

All right

All right

Sofia must be protected

If my first husband's family

attacks Sofias title in court,

Mr. Hearst might be approached as a purchaser

I'm sure he could buy the relevant authorities

All right

Given his history with Hearst,

I'd spare Mr. Ellsworth that indignity

I understand

Thank you, Mr. Bullock

I regret nothing

I bought the house

The house

I bought it

It doesn't mean we have to move in together

Please remind Sofia

that the full moon is in two days

All right

We three will watch it together

Davey is taking a chance not lettin' Al do the scrubbing

That's Davey's fucking problem

All right

Now Hearst�

sent these two,

the two you had the drop on

That didn't draw

Yeah, he

sent the two that didn't draw, so that these two

wouldn't be so quick to their irons

And these two that you and Al murdered

Correct

These

these two

So, see, that give ma and Al time to cut their throats

Now that

was Hearst

showing Al his ass

And sending this diagram ahead

was him

signaling Al

his intention

Well, it was his preliminary signaling that he was gonna show his ass,

if Al was smart enough to know it

Now, otherwise,

if Al didn't know it was coming,

he'd have been surprised

when those two didn't back these two's play

Well, thinking that Al

would throw his hands up surprised shows that Hearst

ain't too smart!

Aw, he's smart, Johnny

I mean, they both, him and Al, are real fuckin' smart

That'd knock a buzzard off a shit wagon

I just

I feel shunted aside or the like, not involved as much as previous

Adams, you were busy with Star�

That you sent me off to see�

Thinking you'd be back before time for the murders

So it wasn't like a decision you made

to have the murders while I was signing the papers?

You've no idea how fuckin' badly you're boring me

Yeah?

That Captain's brought over another envelope

Won't you see with me what this might portend?

All right

Drink?

Or won't you be staying?

Ask the fella who made them Xs

if he hires out for portraits

What's Al doing?

Like I fuckin' know

If we was trailing water, we might get took for ducklings

"Come watch the speeches with me�"

um�

It's written in awkward hand

"Come watch the speeches with me on my veranda."

That's what it says

What in God's name is going on?

And I inquire about more than that hole

These last months have made me expert

It was gunfire, and it came from your saloon

Has not the press a duty, Merrick,

qualifying its accounts in time of war?

Are we at war now

here in the camp?

Has that fact been suppressed as well?

Absent formal declaration, Al,

which affects this community is not my prerogative to disseminate;

to do so is my sacred responsibility

Whores currently disseminating a dose, for example?

To inform within decency's limits

We've had this discussion before

Citizens better die postulating than touch indecent ink

Make a list of the infected whores

and account for this morning's gunfire, and I'll publish it all

I won't,

fucking Merrick,

because neither's to my fucking interests,

just as you owning a print press

proves only you've an interest in the truth,

meaning up to a fucking point

slightly

more than us others

maybe,

but short of a fucking anointing or the shouldering of a sacred burden,

unless of course the print press was gift of an angel

I'd want to be there for that handoff myself

Maybe you should print an extra saying the speeches are on again

Tonight?

What time do you think would be best?

Well, people tried keeping their thoughts to theirselves

Yes, sir?

Will you mind, Charlie,

not being noted tonight from the hustings?

Be a Godsend

Mrs. Ellsworth isn't well

I'm sorry

If,

while

I'm on that

Goddamn platform, you could

station outside her place�

Sure I could

Sol's speaking too, you see, or I'd ask him

I'm glad to do it, Bullock

Glad and fuckin' relieved

Doc Cochran seeing to her?

In good hands then

And Mrs. Bullock sees to Sofia

Don't that child thrive now,

with starting into school?

Sweet as before and notably more outgoing

Trixie will come out

from being in helping the Doc

Likely to come out for a smoke

Fuckin' mail, huh?

Uncharted territory, Harry

Coming up on 14 minutes

I don't care. I don't care

whatever you mean

Readied as you were yesterday,

only to have the event deferred,

do you suppose it's nerves

about giving your speech has your bowels in upheaval?

When you was a boy, Rutherford, I bet you was a hand at tying cans \Nto dogs' tails and setting cats ablaze

Or uncertainty when they'll be held?

Overturning turtles

was my specialty

Wake up, Lila

Wake up

Don't you close your eyes again

How do you make it through?

Go on, girl

Get out

Seven times through, Alma

I'm healthy as a fuckin' horse

I trust you not to modify my instructions

To the letter, Doc

All right, begin

You'll be all right

All right

Turn your head away

from the cloth and breathe

Shut the fuck up and concentrate

Turn

your head

away

God damn it!

What I'm use to, this is like smelling fucking posies!

I would just as soon (? assure / assume)

that you not fucking pass out!

When you're done with hers, Doc,

why don't you fucking kiss mine?!

I'll be back in just a moment, Sofia

Round the dough's ends

Mrs. Ellsworth

is being seen to by Dr. Cochran

And

Trixie, I believe, is assisting him

I'll keep care of Sofia while you deliver your speech

And we'll both pray for Mrs. Ellsworth

Go on then

Spend time finding spine to put the bullet in your brain

Calls me the fucking devil

Show me another fucking strategy

Bedridden and liable to fucking slaughter

Deception don't preclude the search

for fucking conviction

When is "when"?

You are a fucking stitch

"About to begin" could mean anything

There's a crowd outside

Are the speeches about to begin?

Is "when" now?

Oh, dear

Oh, brother

What is it?

Only Andy Cramed, you drug-addled turd!

Gentlemen

Yes, sir

Yes, sirree. Reverend!

Excuse me for just a moment! Reverend!

Reverend!

Guess you heard about

the Clergical discount

on wheel and faro both?

Yes, Con?

Andy Cramed

that stabbed you

is outside with Leon, sir

Is he?

Yes, sir

Just come in

Is his blade sheathed?

No brandishin' no

threatenin' gestures of any kind

I'll see him, Con

Reverend Cramed

Or are you an apparition?

It's me, Cy

Ain't that what a spirit would say?

It's Andy Cramed in the flesh

How are you, Cy?

Well, I'd say overall

Though I'll never shit again without pain

I'm sorry

Now you ain't

come to finish me off?

To ask your forgiveness

And decide how to vote

Coming for the speeches was my excuse

As far as stabbing me, Reverend,

you was sorely fuckin' provoked

I denied you'd been called,

treated you like the

shitbag fuckin' operator you used to be

I forgive you, Cy, as I come to beg your forgiveness

The ribbon's

at Matthew 12, Reverend

Could you read

verse 31 for me?

"Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven

except blasphemy against the spirit."

Couldn't Matthew be speaking of me there?

Oh, Christ Al-fuckin'-mighty, I'm so glad to fuckin' see you, Andy, with

with forgiveness in your fuckin' heart

Oh�

where is this strength coming from now?

Where

is this strength coming from that I feel

flowing into me,

that lets

me sit up and try to fuckin' touch you, Andy,

if only you'll fuckin' let me?

Fuck me!

Fuckin' Jesus Christ Almighty!

Can you feel

what's fuckin' moving here?

It's moving in the room right now!

If only you'd hold me,

I believe I could walk

Con said now may be when you ask to be told about

Jesus Christ, you're well-arrived

Would you have dope's cross

off your shoulders, son?

I know I'd

like to take less

Then fall to your fuckin' knees

Get to your motherfuckin' knees, Leon,

and ask the Lord

to lift your burden part-way

Hear me!

Lord!

Don't fuck with the fuckin' deity, Leon!

You've got to come to him wholehearted,

even you're asking for partial relief

Oh, Lord!

Let Leon cut down,

Lord,

on the motherfuckin' dujie (?)

Let him cut

way the fuck back

I'll speak to you another time

Oh!

Do you hear how I'm coming at him for you, Leon?

How I fully fuckin' supplicate the motherfucker?

Speeches are near

commensurating, Sir

Now that's a definite

Get the fuck up, Leon

Help Con get me ready

Any argument for us accompanying you over there, Boss

Don't strike the right note

going over there with seconds

Know Goddamn well Hearst

is gonna have his second there,

that

sea-creature-looking cocksucker

Hearst would have it understood the Captain

is just a hefty steward of the household

Yeah, one with a dozen fuckin' pelts on his belt

Even so, Dan,

Hearst's man has pretext for his presence

You and the others don't

What with the olive branch I'll be bearing between my teeth

You mind if we

watch you from the balcony?

Not at all

Moment seems meet,

blow me a kiss

Excuse me

If I could, I'd tear my skin off

If I could, I'd put out my eyes

No no

I hate being sick

Cy knew

what I was

He knew to pick me all those years back

Miss Stubbs,

did you like my friend Bill Hickok?

Oh, I

I just met him the once at the Bella,

that poker with Jack McCall

Did you like Bill that night?

I thought he was a gentleman

He was

I felt he had a good soul

He did, Miss Stubbs

I can say that. I knew him 20 years

You know what else?

Bill that we both liked so well

and most everyone did that knew him,

incliding some he killed

Bill thought as ill of his own self as you seem to do about you

So go on and try explaining people to me

And

same as hearing me say what Bill thought of his self

I don't expect brings you to think any less of him�

maybe you,

Miss Stubbs,

oughtn't to stand judge

and jury

and every other job in courth on your own personal case

Maybe,

coming to verdict,

credit

others' opinion of you like you do what you think of Bill�

still

So I'm gonna-I'm gonna just do some introductory remarks

I'll call you up on stage

Say what you have to say and that's it

Aw, shit

Mr. Hearst

Do you come to me placated, Mr. Swearengen?

Never more so, not even as a tiny tot

Let's hear the speeches together

Show me your hole in the wall,

which I find a useful advance

De Tocqueville said,

"When an opinion has taken root in a democracy

and established itself in the minds of the majority,

it thereafter persists by itself."

Tonight

let us plant

the seed

of an opinion

to take root

and grow deep,

that gathering to this end

choosing those

who will act in our name

is proper,

so that in years to come,

among those who succeed us in this thoroughfare

this idea will persist

and seem to them self-evident

Candidates for Mayor

E.B. Farnum and Sol Star

The incumbent will address us first

Oh God

I give no long speech tonight

You know me and my works

Your bosom must swell with pride, Mr. Swearengen

Swellings and saggings to the tit I lay at the exactions of time

I mean

you worked to bring this evening about

To labor without pleasure

makes us our destiny's slaves

To work for crumbs or to keep from the lash says maybe a slave's what you are

I'll not question those either who have faith in my rival,

or make faith an issue of any sort

We are long past

the time of the Pharaohs

I cannot decree Mr Star make exodus

Were you whipped, Mr. Swearengen?

And does the lash snap still?

Do you wait for the strike after all these years?

Would the grip

have been the part you were versed with?

I was born to neither power nor money

My father sold goods from a

countryside crossroads hut

A clear choice for Deadwood!

Farnum

twice measured

Star

once cut

E.B. Farnum!

Assayed and proven true!

Farnum!

Christ knows he's earned it!

Mr. Star!

When last we spoke,

you warranted your willingness to

interfere with me

Only to convey that my place should be for my uses

I won't need a miracle

far as parting the creek to take my leave of the camp

I just bought a house and plan to live here

as long as God gives me

And my intention in making my sacrifice to you today

and it seems, my life's great challenge

was to show the virtue of consolidating purposes

Keep people from shitting in the creek!

That

siftings runoff, tailings accumulating

I'd say that's naming horseshit

virtue

Purposes butt up against each other,

and the strong call

"consolidating"

bending the weak to their will

And I'd add

whoever's behind me

is about to study his guts

That's Captain Turner

at three steps' remove

as he has heard about

your knifework close in

No lowered pants in the whitewood!

That's enough about the shit in the creek

Away from your seconds' view, the Captain's pistol is trained at your head

Do you believe yourself enough and adept,

Mr. Swearengen, to overcome your disadvantage

or will you walk with us inside?

Not throwing my hands up or my skirt over my head don't mean I ain't awestruck

Well, they ain't slobbering on each other,

but they ain't snarling neither

Needs to do with the camp, or problems,

you can always find me at the hardware store

Seth Bullock for Sheriff!

I agree with what Mr. Star says

I find I usually do

I'm lucky

we've been partnered these years

Keeps giving me time to catch up

I'm glad he's standing for office,

and I'd try to be as good a Sheriff�

as he'd be a Mayor to the camp

Sol's buying a house

I built one

last year

I'm glad

we're in the camp�

even on the sorriest of days

Harry Manning for Sheriff

Accepting your premise, Mr. Swearengen,

I'll not name how you would benefit

from the action I wish you to take,

saying only instead it's my will

To which I will have you bend,

I suggest you drink that...

No

I would incorporate into my holdings

the claim now owned by Mrs. Ellsworth

I am told that you can help me bring this about

Tell me how

you will help

This is a grip I'm used to

As far as making your way into her�

act averse to nasty language

and partial to fruity tea

But I'd like to get known

far as wanting to help the camp

We need a fire brigade,

and I'd like to lead it

I've always loved fires

since..since I was a boy

If you're wanting to drink, the Number Ten's serving

Oh, also

also,

the graveyard needs moving

That's it

well, thank you all for coming

please think about what you heard here tonight,

and thank you again

Nothing's over yet

Doc'd be dour

at a christening,

but Trixie says he wasn't scowling how he does,

or or shaking his jowls like a bulldog

Thank you, Charlie

All right

Oh God

That's the look he gets on his face when he's hurt

That man appears worse hurt than I am

Bless his heart

What happened?

We watched the speeches together

Yours was especially swell

I need to lean on you,

but don't you fuckin' look up

Should I go up and get him?

Hey, boys!

What'd you think of the speeches, huh?

I'll go get the cocksucker now

Stay the fuck away from him. Hmm?

I'm having mine served cold

First one to touch me I kill
