My goodness the way Bullock shows up out of nowhere like he's been waiting outside the hotel since sunup working himself into a frenzy wanting to attack first thing; but he backs off and lets Russell speak which only transcends Bullock's rage into fire and brimstone mode. People in Deadwood know when they see that look on Bullock's face they'd better part like the Red Sea for him.
As a man who works in a poker room, I could only marvel at the utterly urbane tone that man had. He must have been running a table since the first day he spoke.
@@lowellcalavera6045 Bullock is not a psycho. Anyone who has been in or witnessed a fight can sense when the time to turn back has passed and the matter will come to blows. The people of Deadwood had witnessed many fights and no doubt had a keen sense of when things were going to become violent.
@@archerpiperii2690 No they knew Bullock was hot tempered and know when HE IS PISSED. THEY KNEW HE WOULD SNAP. Love Seth but bruh was crazy as fuck too. Thats why people were scared of him.
First season was done perfect, season 2 they were embellishing the dialogue a little too much, and seasons 3 on everyone sounds like they are reciting Shakespeare. It really gets heavy handed and even the stupid characters are overly verbose.
I loved his arc in Season 1 where he becomes sheriff after seeing all the horrible shit that was happening throughout Deadwood; a father pinning a murder on their daughter, Chinese stabbed to death in front of the 'Sheriff', Bill Hickock shot in the back, the coward that killed him getting off etc. after a point he couldn't just stand be a normal guy running a hardware store, this beating is so cathartic cause he embraces who he is.
After someone tells you they will beat you in the street you should probably stop antagonizing them. Otis Russell was a gambler through and through and he paid the price here.
Absolutely, and based on the losing streak that led him to trying to blackmail his own daughter to pay off his debts, he was a shit gambler. A fact this scene makes painfully clear.
@JonnyKay-co4xc it’s like Rick and Negan from The Walking Dead, same dynamic. Negan (and Al) firmly believe you have to instill the fear of God almighty in people to get them to be loyal. You have to break them down and show them you’d be willing to eat their young in front of them then they’ll do anything you ask. Seth (and Rick) believe you can be a decent human being and still get the same response. They look at each other and see themselves in their rival, see the same ability to be mad men if given to provocation. It’s just great writing I’m in awe of it every time I see it.
It’s the same reason we can’t root for Al. He brings balance, but from an unbalanced source: his whims. No one roots for Negan, for the same reason. Seth and Rick always have the end result in mind, not their own agenda / power.@dutyaccountabilitymedia
Timothy Olyphant was so good in this role they should have an award called "The Timothy" for dramatic television shows. He is one of the best actors of our day. He made a sub standard movie like Hitman be good. He was memorable in Girl Next Door. He is pure gold in Justified. He is one of the few greats in acting.
Classic scene...remember when miss joanie stubbs brings alma her fathers teeth!? "I brought these," she says, turning over a handkerchief containing several of Alma's father's teeth. "Collected off the Bella Union floor," she says. "Maybe model replacements after; maybe just to remind him not to run his mouth." GOD i love that
Hal McAdams Lack of fear works both ways. It causes risky behavior, which can lead to ruin, but it also causes most people to stay out of your way. Good comment, btw.
I'm reminded of what Winona says to Raylan, "You are probably the angriest man I've ever known. " , when I see this scene. Mr. Olyphant plays righteously outraged very well , doesn't he?
Credit to Timothy Olyphant...he played Raylan Givens with a passive, almost laconic sort of anger you never really saw, but felt. Seth Bullock was more blunt. I think the angriest I saw Raylan Givens was when he interrogated Wynne Duffy over the death of a state trooper with a loaded gun: "Isn't that how you guys do it? Why Tom Bergan's wife and child are grieving?! So no, today we're doing it YOUR way." One of my favorite characters on television.
@@MisterSmith00 Ah, yes. The famous game that the pawn dealer liked to play with his flunkies. Harlan's version of Roulette. After Tom was killed, Raylan was of no mood to care whose brains needed blended for it.
I remember when the cast and characters of this show were revealed, I assumed that the Bullock character would be the cool head, law and order guy. And then he started beating the shit out of everyone and I loved it!
Didn't you watch the movie? Seth said "My job isn't to follow the law. It's how to interpret it and enforce it." Same as the modern day cops in police who believe if you aren't a cop, you're little people.
@@smile4dflash779 That's not how Seth viewed regular people. Just the scum and villainy that populated the early years of the town. I mean he even saw right through the BS of the Earps.
No one exudes pent up rage like Timothy’s portrayal of Seth Bullock. The dialogue in Deadwood is Shakespearean. David Milch is a master at creating scenes like this and is only equaled by Mamet, Sorkin, Milius and Tarantino in writing dialogue in a script.
I agree! There’s a movie Timothy was in “I am number four.” Good movie BETTER BOOK SERIES. Where he plays the guardian of a powerful alien kid come to earth to his from those thay hunt him. (This kid being the one of the last of his races elite guard. And Timothy’s character “henri” is alien to. Well there’s a scene where the hunters find them and he fights then. He’s shouting one with a shotgun and it zooms in on his face and you see the wrath of a man who saw his race exterminated and his planet fall
One of my top five scenes from one of my top five TV series all time. Violence mixed with such interesting use of our language. It's like tasting a favorite candy.
Yeah, I'm doing a long overdue rewatch because I'd never gotten around to watching the reunion movie. This is after I did a rewatch of The Sopranos. To me, Deadwood easily stands toe to toe with The Sopranos as all-time great TV drama. It really blows that The Sopranos got to end on its own terms, and Deadwood didn't. Yeah, they did get a movie that I have yet to see (waiting until after the rewatch) and I'm sure it'll be good, but it's not the same thing.
@@jblanch3 It was cancelled (Deadwood) due to low ratings, that's what I heard anyway. The Sopranos' ratings where much higher than Deadwoods, which is why it lasted much longer. I just started watching this series a few weeks ago, almost done. At the time of the show's release I'd had my fill of Westerns. I'm lucky in a way, I got to watch this masterpiece at a time when good television and film are rare. I also started watching Justified. House of the Dragon is quite good. I'm also looking forward to watching The Banshees of Inisherin, I'm so sick of all the comic book movies.
@@pillsareyummy It was too High IQ for the Popcorn and Beer types , that cant read a room a let alone a book . Wished they pushed past the ratings from the unwashed viewers
The later scene of this episode/season with Doc praying and Al killing the Minister is still why this show was the greatest show in Television History. Not to mention "I'll be the fucking the Sheriff"
Where I was living at the time, the home owner was elderly and had the volume cranked downstairs in the family room. Not an episode went by that his wife would at least once stomp on the floor above and yell "Peter! Turn it down!", right after a flurry of "F#ck"'s came from the TV.
My favourite scene in Deadwood, it is absolutely perfect from start to finish, wonderful build up, everyone peering in, Bullock's indignation peaking as the penny drops, the compactness of fists meeting jaw and cheek, Sol calling Bullock of like he was staying a dog, Russell's eyes swimming in discombobulation, teeth being spat out. Wonderful!
@@KrackerJak Absolutely. I wish he'd get more roles similar to this. Justified did him a lot of justice, but I wish he'd land more characters like Bullock and Raylan Givens!
It was at this moment, standing over Mr. Russell's body with that blood soaked declaration, that Seth transformed forever. He was no longer Seth Bullock a hardware store operator, he was now Sheriff Bullock.
Man his character is so brilliant. I havnt sen that scene for a couple of years and Id forgotten how much I came to enjoy Timothy's work in this show. I love the way you can clearly see how much he scares himself, its a very good portrayal of a deeply flawed and passionate character.
This is still my favorite show. I got the complete series as a gift and have watched it I bet 20 times. Hope to go visit the real Deadwood this fall maybe.
Sol was the only person who could reign in Seth. Al also was able to stop Bullock beating poor EB to a pulp. Olyphant nailed this character just perfectly. The way he carries himself, his conflicting emotions of doing and believing what is right and just - but then just loses his shit and afterwards has a look on his face of "what the fuck did I just do". He even says to Sol "you have to hand to me Sol, I have moved 500 miles to end up exactly where I did not want to be". In the movie he's by now a US Marshall, and he just draws SO fast he was pretty fast too, in season one he and 'Wild Bill' both drew down on a brother who was part of a crew that massacred a Norwegian family returning to Minnesota.
I loved this scene, me and my girlfriend at the time ,coined a phrase, deadwood beating, that's what Otis and Farnam got a deadwood beating, loved it ❤
Brent Sexton (the fireman/barman character) is in Justified, think there's more actors though. Life and Sons of Anarchy certainly had a lot of Deadwood actors in them both, at least making appearances.
A LOT of the same cast, yes. Garret Dillahunt, Gerald McRaney (Hearst - who's also in Santa Clarita Diet!), Tobolowsky, Jim Beaver, W. Earl Brown et al...
Funny thing is, he was probably too injured to even hear what Bullock said at the end of it all. Otis simply never knew of the ultimatum issued to him.
What I love about this scene, his friend I forget his name tries getting through to him by calling his name first quietly. If you’ve ever seen some one completely Red line or red zone you know yelling at them or trying to grab them only makes it worse.
I love how alarmed everyone looks when they see Bullock walking with him. Should have been his first clue, the utter rage in his eyes was the second clue then agitate him with the take your swing comment. A good punch to the face wipes out a lot of arrogance.
Otis Russell (Alma's father) fucked around and found out. I'm rewatching Deadwood for the first time in many years, and forgot how satisfying this scene was.
Olyphant is amazing. He just drips old timey brute manliness. The real Bullock was apparently a pretty terrifying individual and I reckon Timothy nailed it.
I love moments like this on the show. Our characters sense through some primitive organ tremors of disruption in their community waters. They rush wordlessly toward the source.
I cant make up my mind, who had bigger anger issues; Seth Bullock or Lucious Vorenus? Both seem like the Springfield Nuclear Reactor run by a drunk Homer Simpson.
I don't know, man. Vorenus was downright terrifying when he was pushed over the edge. The way he threatened the Collegium was probably the best example of it, you could hear the malice in his voice.
Lucius went through a rough spot with that Son of Hades stuff, and I was given the impression that he regretted it afterwards. The only regrets Bullock ever seems to have are when he's in a worse position afterwards.
I've only read the novels, but if Lonesome Dove's "Woodrow F. Call" on screen (Tommy Lee Jones) is anything like the character in the novel, I'd say he and Bullock could well be twins.
The final scene of Mr Russell being placed on the horse face down and unconscious was a brilliant and funny end for an absolute shitbag of a man who came to steal from his daughter and instead left that "cesspool" minus a couple of teeth and with roughly 14 punches in the face for good measure.
Otis was truly out of his depth and just didn't realize it. His haughty, arrogant manner suggests someone who often gets their way through sharp verbal jabs and well-placed sarcasm. He is used to dueling wits with other Gentlemen in a parlor, drinking brandy and smoking cigars. He thought his words were armor but all they did was enrage Bullock. And there was no one there to save him except his attacker's own friend who just doesn't want to see him kill the dumb bastard.
"You'd best take your swing" This is a bad thing to say to a man who woke up that day specifically to beat your ass.
Great comment
My goodness the way Bullock shows up out of nowhere like he's been waiting outside the hotel since sunup working himself into a frenzy wanting to attack first thing; but he backs off and lets Russell speak which only transcends Bullock's rage into fire and brimstone mode. People in Deadwood know when they see that look on Bullock's face they'd better part like the Red Sea for him.
Indeed. Truly, a case of being careful about what you ask for.
His only agenda item that whole week.
Well he was only referring to a singular swing. The follow-up pummeling probably wasn't in his plan.
Sometimes I think that Sol's primary task in life is to keep Bullock from beating people to death.
Sol 🤝 Bullock
Utter 🤝 Hickok
It takes a wise man to recognize he needs that kind of friend
Sol's father told him to do that...
on his deathbed.
in fuckin' Vienna!@@jdm1066
When one’s own right hand is often bruised, it’s a blessing knowing you have a spare named Sol.
Gentlemen, watch the felt.
What a great throwaway line. Just what a croupier would say.
As a man who works in a poker room, I could only marvel at the utterly urbane tone that man had. He must have been running a table since the first day he spoke.
Deadpan: “No, don’t. Stop, help police.”
If Sol hadn’t yelled everyone was happy to watch Seth beat that pile of shit to death.
That line is almost as good as “I’ll be waiting “
Also, "I know what's in the till". Great throw away lines are just one of the things that makes Deadwood a masterpiece.
Even the way he said "6, the point is 6" the clear subtext was "We're about to see someone fucking die."
I love how everyone picks up on Bullock's mood and anticipate the coming violence.
Pretty sure some peoples had secretly taking bets during their convos.
They know he's a psycho.

Bullock was a really good guy, but man, did he have a temper!
Love Deadwood!
That's what you call over playing your hand
Yeah, nice bit of symbolism with him literally gambling as he antagonizes Bullock.
yeah yeah played without leaving himself an out...
My favorite part of the whole scene is Otis coughing up blood and teeth and spitting them out like popcorn kernels. Literally choking on his big mouth
Would've loved to see Hearst get this treatment too...
He was counting on Bullock to be rational-BIG MISTAKE.
thats the one thing Bullock isnt.... rational... his all heart and feeling... like a raw nerve... her father gambled but he gambled wrong...

Good comment, btw.
Punisher Snake It IS interesting to me how Seth both contains order and chaos in great amounts.
He USES the chaos to create order.
Why am I so addicted to that old school way of dealing with low life........it just seems so poetic
The second most satisfying beating dished out in Deadwood, second only to Charlie Utter beating the shit out of Francis Wolcott.
What about Seth beating Farnum?
Yeah, that was nice.
+Trevor Ambrico Farnum was a shitbag, but that beating was misdirected and unimpressive.
Dan vs the Major (the gold tycoon's bodyguard)?
Second best? Fuck me. The first must have been a doozy.
When someone thinks they can get away with evil because they expect their threats will slow you down, be a Seth Bullock.

What a day it was. Nice to get closure to the main arcs. Beautiful, sad, yet fitting ending.
Damn what a show. I've stayed at the Bullock hotel and have enjoyed Deadwood many times. Great town and even better history. Thank you SD!
i'm not a native speaker but the dialogue in this show boosted my english skills immensely... it's incredible.
You would only be so lucky as to learn how to speak English by watching Deadwood
We don't really say "cocksucker" very often.
I think the tipping point was when Otis said he would lie about it.
I love Bullock's little speech after the beating. Shame Otis probably couldn't hear it first hand with his ears ringing and the concussion.
Ah. One of the most satisfying moments in the entire series. haha

Righteous fury reacting. A genre that never disappoints in the right hands, in front
of the camera - and behind it.
He wants me to tell him something pretty.
That line ringed in my ears for more than 15 years.
Nobody does repressed rage like Tim Olyphant
He really is great at it, I think he was even better at the repressed part in Justified
“I took off the badge myself once...without losing the impulse to beat on certain types.”

Find a woman who looks at you the way Alma Garrett looks at Seth Bullock right after he beats her father within an inch of his life.
"I love you, Seth...."
Marry her
Oh, come on. Much as she loathed her father, that was clearly not approval.
@@michaelhall2709 It may not have been approval. But she was turned on.
Ah and remember in a later episode "Bullock have you ever not come at a problem straight on?"

@JonnyKay-co4xc I agree. IRL Bill also had that revolver without a trigger guard which would have given him a speed advantage.
I love the enormous amounts of disgust and raging hatred that’s transmitted with the line “and you tell them: I’ll be waiting.”
Otis: ...I suppose you'd best take your swing.
Bullock beats the shit out of him and then says: Allright...
"I know what's in the till." Farnum is such a trusting soul.

That’s how Seth Bullock acts when he’s in love. Some guys bring flowers…he does THIS. 🙂
"It must cost you sleep, the guests you drive off, the chances of theivin and bilkin you lose -needing to rub against your betters." *smirk*
Seth Bullock is pure smoldering rage. The embers never die. A small bit of tinder is all he needs to blaze out of control.
i miss this show
I just finished watching the series again. Next is the movie which I only found six months ago.
Seth was always so awesomely hot headed.

"Do you ever think about not going straight at a thing, Bullock?"
What I love about this scene, his friend I forget his name tries getting through to him by calling his name first quietly. If you’ve ever seen some one completely Red line or red zone you know yelling at them or trying to grab them only makes it worse.
If ever a vicious beating was “Justified”, this is certainly a prime candidate! Such a smug scoundrel!
I love how alarmed everyone looks when they see Bullock walking with him. Should have been his first clue, the utter rage in his eyes was the second clue then agitate him with the take your swing comment. A good punch to the face wipes out a lot of arrogance.
Agreed. The setup of everyone else in camp watching from a safe distance is amazing
I live the peripheral scenes with Tolliver and everyones reactions to Bullocks actions. Adds to depth of the characters.
I've never realized this before but... NO ONE came to that mans aid after the beating took place. THAT'S how much he had it coming.
His daughter had to ask a whooah.
Otis Russell (Alma's father) fucked around and found out. I'm rewatching Deadwood for the first time in many years, and forgot how satisfying this scene was.
"I suppose you'd best take your swing."
16-Punches to the face later...
"Oops! Did I say the wrong thing?"
"I will BEAT you in the streets." one of the greatest, most straightforward threats
Something about that Timothy Olyphant walk.
Silvia Oino right!!!!!
If you watch him as Raylan he's kinda pigeon toed. Or maybe its those high end cowboy boots
His arms Don t swing when he walks.
how gay it is? No offense.
@@mourasantos Its a little John Wayne with some Richard Gere thrown in
I’m guessing that’s the first time that Otis ever experienced consequences for his actions. Loved this show!😀
Olyphant is amazing. He just drips old timey brute manliness. The real Bullock was apparently a pretty terrifying individual and I reckon Timothy nailed it.
No one does a tune up like Seth Bullock
"Seth! .... Seth .... Seth!" 😃 As the lovely beating continues on.
Sal is only person who get away with saying that
There was always such great casting for these out of town villains who showed up for two or three episodes.
I love moments like this on the show. Our characters sense through some primitive organ tremors of disruption in their community waters. They rush wordlessly toward the source.
Far out and groovy. Peace.
Sharks have their lateral line system. We have Seth Bullock’s righteous indignation flash-point.
"I suppose you'd best take your swing."
**IT WAS AT THAT MOMENT THAT HE REALIZED...HE'D FUCKED UP**
It’s been a trip watching him in Santa Clarita Diet be the polar opposite of Seth Bullock but he’s nailing that as well.
"gentlemen, watch the felt". Such a fucking great show!
I would tell you to watch this scene as a taste of what Deadwood is if you never saw it before.
All the way around, just a really satisfying scene. Thank you for uploading JS!
I cant make up my mind, who had bigger anger issues; Seth Bullock or Lucious Vorenus? Both seem like the Springfield Nuclear Reactor run by a drunk Homer Simpson.
I don't know, man. Vorenus was downright terrifying when he was pushed over the edge. The way he threatened the Collegium was probably the best example of it, you could hear the malice in his voice.
Vorenus was more controlled. Bullock just loses it.
Lucius went through a rough spot with that Son of Hades stuff, and I was given the impression that he regretted it afterwards. The only regrets Bullock ever seems to have are when he's in a worse position afterwards.
Bullock's anger never aided an assassination attempt, though.
I've only read the novels, but if Lonesome Dove's "Woodrow F. Call" on screen (Tommy Lee Jones) is anything like the character in the novel, I'd say he and Bullock could well be twins.
The final scene of Mr Russell being placed on the horse face down and unconscious was a brilliant and funny end for an absolute shitbag of a man who came to steal from his daughter and instead left that "cesspool" minus a couple of teeth and with roughly 14 punches in the face for good measure.
Tim Olyphant is an underrated actor.
No one on the planet acts a better "active listening" expression than Tim. All the way back to "Go."
Yes, those subtle clues he portrays... you can really feel it. Such a great actor
The very definition of "fuck around and find out".
Otis was truly out of his depth and just didn't realize it. His haughty, arrogant manner suggests someone who often gets their way through sharp verbal jabs and well-placed sarcasm. He is used to dueling wits with other Gentlemen in a parlor, drinking brandy and smoking cigars. He thought his words were armor but all they did was enrage Bullock. And there was no one there to save him except his attacker's own friend who just doesn't want to see him kill the dumb bastard.
Gonna be a lot harder to play the witty parlor room con man with no fuckin teeth
And that, boys and girls, concludes our lesson for the day on "how to handle a smart ass."
God, do I miss this series!!
Everyone except the fool about to take a beating realizes what is about to happen. Gets a beer and pulls up a chair... this should be amusing.
A wise man would watch his mouth when speaking to Bullock. Safe to say this man gained a lot of wisdom that day.
Lol...
God the fucking voice too. So angry he was close to tears or at the very least his voice was breaking it's such great fucking acting
