The Killing of Wild Bill Hickok - Deadwood

[Youzentubo]

does anyone know what the dude with the chopped off head is about? Did this in fact happen in real life?

[mcc4llg4ming]

Searched my name, Jack McCall and this was the first video that showed up.....

[frogskinshoelace]

@mcc4llg4ming you son of a bitch

[meer1120]

3:28 Alcoholism, a very good way to cope with grief...

[TheMentalDestroyer]

Omg I love this character, why dead so soon ..... :S

[orionion]

the last words the real wild bill hickok spoke were allegedly "he broke me on the hand". i find this hard to believe. in real life, the last words of people tend to be less poetic. i bet the guy actually said something like "i'll see your five and raise..." :p

[mmirandajr]

Rest in piece Hickock...

[mmirandajr]

Best scene western movie....

[Donatellangelo]

Aces and eights.

[countacolor]

@Donatellangelo Did it actually show his hand though in this episode before he died?

[countacolor]

I believe Bill wanted to die. That's why he sat with his back to the door.

[deraifu]

Well Bill Hickok did predict that Deadwood would be the death of him, he often sat with his back to a wall but this day he didn't.

[deadlylyrx]

@countacolor I agree. Not too many guys experienced in drama and having enemies would sit that way.

[Danorowski]

@deadlylyrx He never did sit with his back to the room, always to the wall, however, that one day it just happened that his usual seat was taken...

[Youzentubo]

@deadlylyrx but he in fact DID sit that way in real life

[ontariobuds]

0:36

"I apologize"

xD

[Sojourno]

what's the name of the song?

[SmilingGiantess]

*whimpers..*

[BarryDennen12]

Damnit, he was my favourite character. Great fucking show.

[caca1pedo2]

The music is from the film "Babel"

[seheart]

@caca1pedo2 its actually from a few movies before that one. Its used quite a lot.

[mcshanebest]

@caca1pedo2 Just a quick correction. The music in this clip 'Iguazu' by Gustavo Santaolalla was used in Deadwood before the film Babel was released.

[caca1pedo2]

@mcshanebest Thank man I didnt have idea, I Thinked was fron the osriginal soundtrack

[vonVince]

While Bill lived a somewhat questionable life, he sure as hell was more a man than the cowards who shot him in the back while he was having a game of the poker he loved so much to play - he didn't go down in a blaze of glory that one might have expected, but at least he went down while doing what he loved to do; play poker.

[SuperTornado2212]

Deadwood....Can't get enough of it!

[BgKnoccoutGangstaDre]

RIP WILD BILL YOU ARE GREAT!!!

[SlaughterRule]

the writer... David Milch was a harvard grad didnt need wiki, saw him say it on the writers roundtable on IFC... he would create fiction only upon its best reality.. this is the closest depiction of how wild bill hickok died... dont dwell or analyze too much.. just enjoy the beauty of the scene and stfu

[Youzentubo]

@SlaughterRule "beauty of the scene" uh what kind of a fucked up person refers to someone getting their brains blown out as "beauty"??? fucking retard

[Ceaaa22]

RIP, Jim.

[Willrobert92]

The random Indian head dude cracks me up despite such a sad scene.

[zephyrvidar1]

@Willrobert92 That was a reference to a previous episode. If you saw the next episode, "The Trial of Jack McCall", there is reference to the beheading in that episode.

[Willrobert92]

@zephyrvidar1 Yeah I know. But still, what timing. Fantastic series btw.

[jt123c45]

hefnicity ,

William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody died of kidney failure on January 10, 1917

"Wild Bill" Hickok was shot and killed while playing poker

according to Wiki...

Your anger is turning off your brain...

Stop drinking the tea!!!

[hefnicity]

@jt123c45 hahahaha I knew at least 1 dumbass would think I was serious and try to correct me. Did you not find anything else in my comment worth correcting? There are a few more obvious ones in there.

[aurkomaitra]

@hefnicity its a bit stupid expecting people to figure out ur joking when u are typin it up on youtube, because u might not know this but when reading words, its a bit difficult to understand what tone of voice u expect to come through

[hefnicity]

@aurkomaitra I didnt expect anyone to figure out I was joking. I was hoping they would take me seriously. But thank you for the lecture. And I really had no idea that people couldnt hear my tone of voice while reading what I wrote. I thought there would be a recording of my voice attached to my comment. Once again, thank you for brilliant insight. Thanks to you I am just a little bit less stupid.

[hefnicity]

Good job on getting your facts straight Hollywood. Wild Bill, AKA Buffalo Bill, was killed fighting the indians at Big Littlehorn. But I guess this version is better for ratings. Hollywood never checks facts and they are trying to raise our kids. I wont stand for it.Thats why I homeschool my kids. At least I know how to read a history book or google to check my facts.

[TheRadioman1976]

I visited the real Deadwood a few months ago, in particular, the Bullock Hotel and the original Saloon #10 where Wild Bill was killed. Even today, that infamous incident reeks of treachery at that particular spot Mr. Hickok lay dead.

[RaSTAMaNJaHLiV3]

i dont like this scene that faggot shooting at the back

[Epimpin101]

his hand was Aces and 8s, which in poker is refered to as the dead man's hand.

[Metallicarulesall18]

@Epimpin101 hes the reason they are called dead man's hand if you didn't know that already

[TheLastOfTheFinest80]

Its a shame that Deadwood is no longer on, one of best TV shows I had ever seen.

[Kilooscarromeo]

Jack the coward McCall was tried in Deadwood then acquitted for shooting Bill. He was later tried again but not in Deadwood found guilty in 2 hrs & then hung by his cowardly scabby slimey scroungy neck.

[TheJkuy]

Hold on I thought the story was that the man who shot bill was in on the poker game and was drunk and shot Bill be cause the drunken man thought that bill was cheating and then shot him?

[phyriz007]

@TheJkuy In the show the man who shot Wild Bill was in a poker game the day before with Wild Bill. After loosing the game hi did call out Wild Bill for cheating. The others at the table sided with wild Bill saying it was a fair game and then Wild Bill gave the man a dollar for breakfast. This scene if from the next day when while drunk he walked in a shot Wild Bill....

[DKDonson]

That dirty coward,,,,the fact that he was killed that way is hard to handle

[destructivedandy]

One of the very best scenes from a brilliant series. The entire build up to this moment of the episode is so well crafted, the unease throughout is palpable. And then this, this wonderful chaos. I can imagine it was rather like this in reality.

[oshilz]

thats my kind of woman

[beerrunner81]

HBO bring this show back. There are many fan out here.

[109367]

very emotional scene, I luv it!

[AnnabellsSmiles]

I hated this scene.. due to the upset...

[TronsCannibal]

grrr that dirty slimy son of a bitch! >-<

why'd he have to kill him DX

[malkani17]

i love the way wild bill looks up as he hears the footsteps. its as if he knows he's gonna die.

[TheNativeDialect]

@malkani17

It is said that Hickok predicted that Deadwood would be his "last ride." He had talked to his friend Charlie Utter (Colorado Charlie) and told him twice, that he felt he was going to die in Deadwood. Also, during the poker match, he twice tried to switch seats so that his back wasn't too the saloon doors, but twice he was rejected. So...perhaps he did know...

[LuxVr]

@malkani17 actually he knows it, he was even kinda expecting it

[Static10]

This scene is masterful. This show is not necessarily my favorite, but this scene is beautifully shot and edited.

[Mortskcab]

"TAKE THAT, GOD DAMN YOU!"

the acting in this show is SO good!

[CFMD28]

"Aces and Eights."

[JesusFrankenstein]

this is a great scene. thanks for uploading it Ms Stubbs, haha.

[MJ28RAMS]

This is the most distubing scene I've ever seen in TV show. By far the best acting of any TV show.

[darkmalestorm]

88AA DEAD MAN´S HAND

[TravellinMan94]

Why didn't they kill McCall as soon as they caught him?

[williamrafe1]

@TravellinMan94 they wanted him to face the justice of the noose. see, wild bill could kill people legally because he was a cop and the other guy always drawed first. if they woulda killed him, they would of all been hung for murder. old west law

[alspeace]

If HBO ever decided to go to the big-screen they'd rule! Deadwood was one of the best tv shows ever.

[superhornet69]

The cards that Wild Bill was holding when he was shot were aces and eights...known forever after as "the Deadman's Hand."

[richiemo2000]

I wish they kept Wild Bill in season 1 a little longer, he was a great character and played to perfection by Keith Carradine (Dexter)

[frogskinshoelace]

I was so pissed when this happened. Wild Bill was great.

[Neoh82]

The face of Oliphant at the end is awesome. And what a music.

Perfect scene.

[solomonkain]

Amazing music

[MAIJORproductions]

McCall was such a coward.

[mikepyro713]

the last shot of olyphant in this episode was what I remembered most of this show.

brilliant.

[WiseGuy5674]

What an excellent musical track for this scene...really makes ya misty eye'd.

[Jacoby23OG]

I live in Deadwood

[johnnytastetest]

@Jacoby23OG - Looks like a happenin' town.

[Jacoby23OG]

@johnnytastetest not really, all there is to do is sight see, hickok and calamity janes grave. thats it

[johnnytastetest]

@Jacoby23OG - I was just making a joke, judging its modern day appeal by this dramatic retelling of events from well over a century ago. Heh heh.

But the place does have a cool name...and checking out those graves would be cool. : )

[Jacoby23OG]

@johnnytastetest well deadwood has some good taco johns, ill admit that lol

[JesusFrankenstein]

@Jacoby23OG so Deadwood is a tourist trap?

[Spyflugan91]

@Jacoby23OG haha nice! ;) 

[LizardKing97051]

@Jacoby23OG I've been thinking of moving there

[pretorious700]

never a dull moment in deadwood

[MrVonRotten]

"Look Darlin, Johnny Ringo. Deadliest pistol ever since Wild Bill they say". - "Doc" Holiday in Tombstone. I wonder if that quote or reference is factual. I like to think that is is.

[Slypaperclips]

@MrVonRotten well that one wasn't, but he did say "I'm your huckleberry...that's just my game..." when Ringo challenged him in real life. He also actually did walk straight up to one of the mclaury brothers during the gunfight at the ok corral. The wounded man said "I've got you now you son of a bitch," and tried to bring his gun to bear on him. Doc replied "you're a daisy if you do" and shot him in the head. Absolute legend.

[ArturShapiro]

Aces and eights.

[SMacca3103]

@ArturShapiro the dead mans hand =p

[0dAb]

WTF they killed my man. Oh well, let's drink up.

[JML897]

I really like how the music just adds to how everything seems so hectic after it happened.

Definitely one of the craziest deaths I've seen in a TV show. After he was shot I was thinking "Okay, now Wild Bill will probably just be hurt for a while. There's no way they're going to kill off such a major character this early"....and then the next episode started at his funeral.

[DTRAVELZ]

I went to Deadwood in April. Alot of whats portraied in this series is accurate. HBO really fell short by cutting the series. Apparently Seth Bullock really became an important figure in American history. He had a lot to do with bringing in the railroad. He became persoanl friends of Teddy Roosevelt.

[Krowsnose]

I loved Jack Mccall's character. You just loved to hate him.

[canoebelue]

I just bought the complete series on Ebay. My wife is gonna shit a brick if she finds out. She hates all the swearing, but this may be the best western ever made.

[PrawnToucher]

@canoebelue without a doubt. Also one of those shows you can watch again and again- great purchase!

[tuxguys]

I honestly didn't know that Hickok had died that way until I saw this episode, and then Google'd it, to check the historical accuracy of it.

What a show.

[thunter56]

never play cards with your back to the door, damn....

[ariesthehellboi]

doc halliday is the man ....wild bill hickok was a bad ass too

[SuperMike82]

at 1:16, was that morgan and wyatt earp? cuz it looks like them from that other episode. anyone know?

[WiseGuy5674]

That would be Seth Bullock and Sol Star.

They were in the process of building their hardware store.

[TiffanyChewy]

OOH! im writing a term paper, and i chose this guy cus he sounds really cool. this video just made him cooler! i wanna see the movie. is it good?

[WiseGuy5674]

This is not a movie..its a series from 'HBO' called "Deadwood".

The best show ever made.

[TiffanyChewy]

@WiseGuy5674 oh. well then COOL SHOW

[dontleademsomuch]

like jesse james, it's like he was tired of life and asked for it by turning his back

[wbtheopin]

Wild Bill was shot by a coward. Just like anyone who sucker punches someone...........Jack McCall was an ASSHOLE of the biggest kind . He was a worm...........

[dontleademsomuch]

he wanted to die

[trwilli24]

are they going to make a deadwood movie?

[Sonicisbadazz]

Am I crazy, or does Hickok move at 2:54?

Is that supposed to be a post moretm twitch? Or shall we call it an error on the filmmakers part? :)

[gusatron51]

he moved

[WiseGuy5674]

Its to deliberate..it had to be a 'post moretm' twitch.

[ontariobuds]

@Sonicisbadazz yeah he did move, but remember that Bill might of died right away. He could still be alive at that point but just died soon after.

that seems to be the only thing I can think of because he definitely did move.

[AdultCopywriters]

This scene is epic.

[cheezypeez]

Deadwood.

It may,or may not,interest the many,many people involved in the creation of this masterful tale,that the mirror that they held up was but a window for me to look through.Many times I have looked through the window and wonder at my reflection still.Thankyou so much.

[gunther72]

wild bill would always sit with his back against the wall facing the doorway.

It was almost like he was commiting suicide.

[mawhar]

the historical charlie utter actually CALLED McCall an assassin, as if he'd been hired by someone else.. but who knows, anyway here he just wasn't looking out enough (true, WAY out of character)...

[BSUFAN0339]

When he came to the table his favorite seat was taken. He had only there to sit.

[gunther72]

He's Wild Bill, I'm pretty sure he could sit where ever he wanted to.

[Youzentubo]

@gunther72 not true - in reality - the person who sat in the chair with the back to the wall told bill NO when bill asked him to give it up

[copperkiddo]

Actually, history said that Wild Bill sat facing the door because it was so he could see whoever came in. There were always someone who wanted him dead.

[WiseGuy5674]

On that particular day, Wild Bill couldn't get the seat...the occupant wouldn't give it up, which is why he was shot from behind. Fact.

[DTRAVELZ]

I would like to find the scene where assasins came in to kill Wild Bill while he was playing poker and he knew it was coming and killed the assasins first. . another great scene. Great series. I wish Deadwood would come back.

[Leopards100]

@DTRAVELZ it's on tv on sundays

[Marcqx]

@DTRAVELZ It came back but much as I adored the first season, I couldn't make sense out of those that followed and I tried hard.

[20000lenny]

This song wriiten in Deadwood .. Listen to it..."TEN TWENTY LENNY"

[DTRAVELZ]

One thing I never understood , Why would a man such as Wild Bill Hickock sit with his back facing the door?

[bourne234]

@DTRAVELZ On that certain day all the seats were taken so he had to sit there

[mawhar]

while they made up a lot in the DEADWOOD series (mostly for the best) this scene is based on history. The real Wild Bill let his guard up this one time; the chair facing the door wasn't available and he took one facing away from it.

[drytinder]

"Iguazu" by Gustavo Santaolalla

[gogosimonadebisi]

Aynone know this song, starts playing basicly after Bill's shot?

[balloonmonster]

i hate to point this out but mcall originaly killed bill whith a colt navy cap and ball revolver not a colt 45

[piscesgutt]

Epic
