Deadwood: Tolliver vs Walcott

- Tolliver tells Walcott that he knows about Walcotts tendency to kill women, a prelude to blackmailing him. It almost seems like Tolliver has a different goal here though, he goads Walcott. If I didn't know any better I'd say Tolliver knows exactly what Walcott will do next.
- Zábava
Powers Boothe recorded an audiotape for those of an insomniac persuasion. He says "Go to fuckin' sleep" and that's the end. Works every time.
Tolliver confronted Wolcott in order to put Wolcott on edge, and in doing so, puts Wolcott's frail ego in a headspace of anxiety and self-doubt, and since Cy was a excellent judge of character, and Wolcott is a murdering psychotic man, he just nudged him towards the cliffs, certain that Wolcott himself would eventually become so unbalanced he would forget to check his footing.
Not sure why this didn’t get more likes-it’s a damn astute fuckin assessment.
Cy was definitely good at reading ppl. While Al is still my favorite character on the show, I've always been a massive Powers Boothe fan and he was beyond excellent as Cy Tolliver.
Brilliant analysis. Only thing I disagree with is your word choice.
Also, Tolliver reads lying people for a living. I don't think he believes for a second Hearst already knew anything about dead prostitutes.
@@MrBastilleDay I think when you get to the end of season 2 (SPOILER ALERT) and Mr. W puts a rope around his neck and jumps from the cliff this scene has more clarity behind it and in hindsight becomes obvious what Cy was trying to do, he wants Walcott to kill the girls to ruin Joanie's brothel and also have an ace in his back pocket when Hearst came to Deadwood. That's why he asks himself "Can I be that fcking lucky?" when Dorris tells him about Walcott's dangerous inclinations.
Powers Boothe has such an amazing voice
RIP Powers Boothe. One of the under-appreciated greats of American screen acting.
Somehow the fact that Cy modulates exclusively between "sarcastic carnival barker" and "spiteful growl" only makes it better to me
Love how Wolcott acts tough but you can still sense his anxiety and frustration. Brilliant acting 😀
Oscar Hayden (Perdition Bound) That's what I love about this show. The villains are so well written and portrayed. Wolcott is a monster but there's something so vulnerable and broken about him, like he might fall apart at any second. He clearly has a lot of self-loathing.
Charlie whooped that ass.
@@dougbrown04 Utterly.
The quiet, rising hysteria in his voice . . . Tolliver knew he struck a nerve.
Absolutely incredible scene, somehow topped by Walcott's monologue just after he leaves the joint......"Past hope. Past kindness or consideration. Past justice. Past satisfaction. Past warmth or cold or comfort. Past love. But past surprise? What an endlessly unfolding tedium life would then become"
dolennon wasn't the language and or writing like a audible orgasm. I miss this series terribly.
I have no idea what this means, but im glad Wolcott offed himself...dude was a fucking serial killer.
Garret Dillahunt was so good at acting they had to bring him back as a different character lol. But Powers Boothe was amazing! and I have a feeling he loved the role. Ian Mcshane also was an awesome Al Swearengen
He was the on a secondary character during the last Season of Justified. I find strange the fact that in Deadwood Dillahunt is wearing contact lenses to have brown eyes. At first I was is it really him? His natural eyes color it’s extremely different, and I have never saw him portraying roles with contact lenses to change the eye colors.
Masterclass
A level of acting from Powers Boothe not seen since his turn as Curly Bill in Tombstone
Iv watched this show a dozen times and had no idea who else he could have played. I looked it up. The cöçk sucker was Jack McCall too!?! That's amazing. Not just his acting but the wardrobe, writing, hair & makeup. Everything on this show is incredible.
@@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520 Ten times better in Deadwood....thats how i feel about it anyway.
From Curly Bill Brocius to Cy Tolliver, Powers Boothe was a natural at playing characters from the wild west. Awesome fantastic to watch. Rest In Peace!
Damn shame he died too young. He'd have been awesome in the movie.
@@dannythomas417 couldn't agree more, mate.
what a magnificently written and acted scene
The lines that Garrett Dillahunt delivers are some complex writing ... both are great actors
Dillahunt did a great job in this role and as McCall
Walcott may not be able to handle himself in a fight, like when Charlie Utter kicks the living shit out of him but that doesn't make him an less frightening. The man is pure evil.
Serpico's Beard he’s like a mean nerd who happens to be protected by the meanest biggest bully in the schoon
Cy didn't overplay his hand, watch to the end. For a brief moment Cy did believe he overplayed but then Walcott doeth protest too much and Cy figured it out. Walcott was lying about confiding in Hearst. It was his only defense. Cy does tell Hearst and Hearst fires Walcott. I could spend a an hour describing the intricacies of this one conversation. Like a chess game played out in words. The writing in Deadwood was outstanding. Of a quality rarely seen on screen.
Hearst fired Walcott because he killed the three girls.
@@thehumanrunner I respectfully disagree. I think Hearst really did know about his predicliction. What Hearst couldn't abide by was that other people now knew of his employee's "issues".
@@isaachaze1 Yeah, like he said "securing the color is all I really care about". Maybe you could get away with that in Mexico, but not in the US.
Walt Whitman ova here
Cy overplayed his hand in the sense that he didn't get what he wanted. He did not get anything out of Walcott and when he moved the game to Hearst he got worse than nothing.
Deadwood's writing just shits on every other show. Milch is a goddamn genius.
+Stefan Siljanoski
Get ready because their is a Deadwood movie coming out
+Captain America I know man, after all these years it's finally coming :)
Stefan Siljanoski It's why it's my favorite show of all time.
its good but no sopranos
@@jamespatterson935 sopranos can’t even lace deadwood’s boots
"in short, you've overplayed your haaaand"
i love that line
Tolliver heard the lie in his voice, masterful scene, this is why police ask alot of questions....to get a baseline for your voice and answers on the easy ones, for when they ask the ones that push your buttons they are watching and listening, never lie to a gambler who makes his money off his wit and if your gonna lie period...control your words, tempo, voice and volume....but especially your pitch
Garrett Dillahunt (Walcott) played McCall as well, the guy that shot Wild Bill. Great Actor. ... RIP Mr. Powers Boothe.
I didn’t know that!
this is one of my favorites scenes of all time
Cy's greed got the better of him. He's already a rich man but needed to squeeze out just a little more money through blackmail. If he had maintained a civil business relationship with Wolcott and Hearst, he could have been a happy and lucrative partner in future dealings.
Shakespeare was wildly popular in the 19th century Western U.S.....
And this scene is so appropriate in accordance with that popularity
Back in the early 2000s HBO was brimming with dramatic gems like 'The Sopranos', 'The Wire', 'Six Feet Under', but none of these extraordinary productions equaled the brilliance of 'Deadwood' the finest jewel in the box.
the Golden era of TV drama, hands down.
@speedbump2716 _Rome_ and _Deadwood_ both ended prematurely. HBO had great shows yet found a way to mess it up.
How did this show only get 3 seasons? Geez...
the third season stalled because a good deal of it was designed to be prelude to season four and the audience began to diminish. HBO shows that are expensive to produce down get much leeway
wrote themselves into a corner
They almost reshot the entirety of season 3
There's multiple reasons but one of the big one's was David Milch turning down season 4 when HBO didn't give him enough time to write it.
Just another example of David's fantastic writing.
A conversation between two terrifying men...
R.I.P Mister Powers Boothe.
There’s a universe somewhere with 8 deadwood seasons and I aint in it 🤡🔫
But it's also the universe where Bill Waterson sold out.
This looks surprisingly good for a video celebrating its bar mitzvah.
This was a terrific scene!
Man I miss this show
he played mccall?? holy shit, i never noticed that either! yea, completely different characters. that is pretty amazing
I love the lexicon in this series. I may have to watch it again for the fourth or fifth time.
In some ways Dutch from the Red Dead Redemption games reminds me of Cy quite a bit, they even sound similar when they talk. What a great actor Powers Boothe was though RIP.
Asroth_Kadoshim Dutch reminds me more of Powers Boothes role in tombstone.
Garrett Dillahunt should be in so much more.
He was in Justified for a good long time.
RIP, Powers Boothe.
Powers Boothe= Magnificent.
When, a hundred odd years later, he finally got what was coming to him...
Ty Walker : This is bullshit! You shot me in the back!
Raylan Givens : If you wanted me to shoot you in the front, you shoulda run towards me.
Dangerous lay . Holy fuck that's funny
What a great actor this guy playing Wolcott is. He seems creepy without saying a word or doing anything, yet in John From Cincinnati, where he plays a doctor, he doesn't at all even though his appearance is exactly the same, maybe a little less beard.
Just the slightest twitch on wolcotts face as toliver is getting the last word in. So good.
RIP Powers...
You really have to see this in context to understand the true meaning, and the scene's afterwards "past surprise?... what an endlessly unfolding tedium life would them become...Oh Doris..."
Powers Boothe is fucking amazing, and it's a DAMN SHAME we won't see Tolliver in the movie (which is filming as I fucking speak!!) RIP Powers Boothe. Tolliver had the best conclusion of all the characters, IMO, physically voicing his exasperation with Hearst with Leon and Jani-ni-ni-ni-ne.
For PB fans, check out the Jim Jones film, he was an masterful actor in his prime as well!
I'd agree if one got murdered and that the whore wasn't close to Joanie. If Al knew someone was killing those closest to Trixie I don't think he would have stood back and let it happen. Al, unlike Cy, is fiercely loyal to his allies and, in his own way, a protector of the weak (at least by this point in the show--Alma doesn't count, that was before Al's character had even begun developing). Besides, Hearst isn't Wolcott--Wolcott could have been killed with little actual consequence.
I couldn't even tell it was the same guy who acted McCall. I suppose that's a sign of a job pretty goddamn well done.
Wolcott seems totally different from McCall, EXCEPT when he says "you've overplayed your haaand" in this clip. He sounds JUST like McCall there. Dillahunt was great in Deadwood - RIP one of the best shows ever created.
ravenouscolonelhart you are absolutely correct!
like Wolcott says, Cy "overplayed his hand" that was Cy's problem. Al was much better as slow-playing his hand. Like when he tells Bullock he wants his revenge on Hearst "served cold"
Definitely! Hysterical show!
RIP Powers
toliver is not nessisarily crule, but he his terrifying
Deadwood was epic.
Wolcott’s “microexpression” with his mouth, giving himself away when Tolliver calls his bluff. Good directing, or acting, or both.
The shaking in his breathing, how he can’t control the volume of his voice, and all the pantomimes he displayed were so realistic. Masterful acting by both actors.
wolcott has the same cadence as hurst
@isaachaze1 *I meant Trixie, not Jewel
Wolcott would not allow himself to be blackmailed by a man like Tolliver.
How good were these guys in S2?
@ontariobuds dont forget, he also grew to like bollock, and seemed like he almost saw himself as a father figure to him. yea, he let jewel go too because he saw that she would have a better life. that's what made him an interesting character. cy and wolcott are just evil
I could never really understand tolliver but tgis is a fantastic scene
More a fault of the writing than anything. He wasn't given a lot of purpose beyond "be temporary foil for Swearigen". As great as Powers Boothe was he was pretty underutilized. But in a show this good you can overlook it.
I don't like that Dillahunt plays both McCall and Wolcott. Sure he does a good job but I spent a while trying to figure out why McCall was back in Deadwood. I thought i had missed an episode where he redeemed himself, cleaned himself up and changed his name...
Joshua Watson you must have a better eye for faces. I saw the series a half dozen times before realizing they were the same actor til I read it online
For an almost perfect series I thought this was the only dumb decision. It made no sense to recast Dillahunt again on the same freakin show. Cleaning him up and growing a beard didn't take away from him being the guy who shot Hickok...
Wow! Maybe Francis should have played ball?
wow. i could not agree with your opinion of his acting skills anymore. I am a huge fan of the series, and have watched every single episode numerous times out of sheer enjoyment for the series, but not till this morning did i see that jack mccall and francis walcott were the same actor....damn'd impressive...guess i,
too, am not past suprise
and Burt Chance
@nothingtoproveify Raising Hope is super funny. "A 23 year old single man must raise his infant daughter, conceived from a one-night stand, with the help of his flawed family after the baby's mother (who has killed multiple boyfriends) is given a death sentence and executed when the baby is only six months old." -Wikipedia.
@nothingtoproveify You forget Burt Chance.
Tolliver was a classy guy, just as driven as Al Swearingin, but smoother in delivery.
passive aggressive.
No freaking idea what they said. 🤨
haha c'mon man I noticed it the second he showed his face, it was so obvious that I thought that maybe somehow he escaped, hit it big, and got reconstructive surgery, he's no peter sellers
This guy is now called Marilyn Manson; talking to the perfect Powers Boothe - RIP.
What no that is not
*wolcott
Cy was almost redeemed with that Walcott fucker. First time I saw Joanie tell Cy what Walcott did I was certain Cy would brutalize and murder the fucker like he did to Flora and Miles. For a moment he looks real angry and an angry Cy isn't a rational Cy--in that state of mind he'd be willing to throw out a future with Hearst in favor of vengeance for Joanie's sake. But, of course, he covers it and stays evil as ever.
It's a great example of why Al>Cy--Al would've killed the fucker in a hearbeat.
yeah I thought it was a stupid mistake using him for both characters, ridiculous, blatantly obvious
tolliver is my least favorite character, never liked his scenes although powers is awesome
The casting in this was almost flawless, mr Olifant is the only weak one.
He was awful in Sarah Connor chronicles.
Sure would be nice to see at least one program without profane writing.
oh fuck off.
Watch shitty amc walking dead for no profanity.
Aww did the naughty words upset you? Grow up.
There is poetry in profanity, if delivered by people with a wide range of vocabulary.
Tyrfingr Indeed.
