Swearengen is plotting his revenge, and appoints one of his deputies to be his representative. Hearst declares Swearengen and enemy and chops off one of Al’s fingers. The reason why is that Bullock thinks after hearing Hearst that Farnum told Hearst about his affair with Ms Ellsworth. The elections are imminent and Sol Star is running for mayor against Farnum, who gets the shit kicked out of him after the 1 st meeting between Bullock and Hearst. Swearengen confesses Hearst’s attack on him to one of his whores. Hosttetler comes back in the 3 rd episode and agrees to sell his horse business to Steve the drunk. Cy Tolliver is still recuperating from his attack of last season, but is brought under Hearst’s heel when Hearst confronts him about Wolcott’s letter.
Ms Ellsworth has some minor surgery and the Doc is coughing up blood. He agrees to buy Ms Stubbs establishment and to build a new school for the children.
One of Swearengen’s acquaintances Jack Langrishe played by Brian Cox, comes to town to open a theatre. The Deadwood bank is up and running and Hearst is trying to get Ms Ellsworth’s interest in her goldmine. With the arrival of Hearst, things start boiling in the frontier town of Deadwood. It’s a shame, because like most HBO series, it is quite riveting. Be it as it may, there is no TV season planned for Deadwood. It is also possible that this was planned in advance, to have TV movies for the 4th season.
There will be a few TV movies next year, but the series has been cancelled. This article recaps the 1st eleven episodes of the third and last season of the gritty western drama Deadwood on HBO. This article was updated on the 19th of September 2006 08:00AM GMT+8 local Taiwan time.
