"I see as much misery outta them movin’ to justify their selves as them that set out to do harm."

"Deep Water" shows us how trouble and danger have taken hold of life in Deadwood. People like Al Swearengen were among the first to arrive in the settlement and they established the tone and decorum for people arriving afterward. Addiction drives many of our characters to actions they regret yet can't escape. The pursuit of righteous justice might end up creating more despair.

And many people just can't stop talking to Al.

In this episode of "Something Pretty", Wes and Clay discuss "Deep Water" because it's close, and cocksuckers like us always go for the easiest chance. Plus! The guys talk about Jane's backstory, master negotiator Seth Bullock, and hanging around when you should leave.
