When Deadwood holds its first murder trial, justice is on the docket—but so is chaos. In this episode of Language and Blood: A Deadwood Companion, we dig into Season 1, Episode 5: “The Trial of Jack McCall,” where the camp performs law more than it delivers it. Wild Bill’s corpse isn’t cold before Swearengen transforms the Gem Saloon into a courtroom, presided over by a rented magistrate and populated by a jury of drunkards and gamblers. As the camp teeters between order and farce, we unpack how this episode skewers American justice, frontier mythology, and the uneasy birth of community.
But it’s not just about the trial. We follow Trixie’s quiet rebellion, Jane’s fierce compassion, and Alma’s shaky sobriety as Deadwood’s women begin weaving their own web of care and resistance. We look closely at Milch’s anachronistic profanity, the symbolism of the funeral sermon, and how every moment—whether it’s Bullock gripping the bars of McCall’s cell or a hymn whispered in the woods—builds toward the question at the heart of Deadwood: can civilization take root in this mud?
The verdict is in, but nothing’s settled. And out on the road beyond the camp, Bullock rides with justice in his eyes and unfinished business on his heels.
