In the Old West, personal identity and reputation often determined one's fate, as demonstrated when Billy May, a drifter mistaken for the legendary outlaw Billy the Kid, must navigate the dangerous social dynamics of Deadwood while facing threats from outlaws like Sam Bass and lawmen like Wild Bill Hickok, ultimately revealing that in frontier justice, perception and survival often outweighed truth.

Across the wild Dakota country where the lonely red bird sing Billy boy he kept on riding like an eagle on dark wings.
What you going to do with all them cats?
I'm in the cat business, boy. In here, but not for long. I'm going to load this old wagon here full of gold. Go back to Tennessee, buy myself a plantation, and I'm going to sit out on my Vandy and [music] silk shirts and fancy pants and sip big jewels.
Do you know where you're going to get all this gold? I'm going to take part.
You make it sound pretty easy.
>> Ah, nothing's easy in this old world, boy.
>> You have to gold, too.
Reckon so digging it or taking it.
[music] [music] >> [music] >> I see there's been another shooting.
>> Yes, preacher. It looks like you'll have another busy day.
>> Maybe when we can build a church and did what? People can come to know the Lord.
>> Who was it, Kate?
>> Oh, one of the boys spit on the dance floor again. Charlie, you know how fancy is about that.
>> That was a nice straw. Fancy. As long as I'm working for you, Kate, we're going to run a clean place.
All right.
Mighty nice shooting. Fancy. Look at that. I wonder if Fancy don't peel his oats and decide to have a go with Wild Bill.
>> Yeah. Well, Wild Bill is coming to town after Billy the Kid. Now, that [music] ought to be a real showdown.
>> Yeah.
Can't you do anything to stop these killings?
>> Mrs. Deadman, I'm only the deputy, not the sheriff.
>> Mr. Harding, is it true Billy the Kids coming to town?
>> John Slaughter says he's riding in from Santa Fe.
>> Hear that, Mom?
>> I hear it and I don't like it.
>> They don't come any faster than Billy the Kid.
>> Hubert, you're a long ways from being a gunfighter. [music] >> I can outdraw anybody in town.
>> Maybe you can, but gunmen are something else. Boy, >> ain't a boy.
>> You come on home and do your chores.
>> Oh. Oh, ma.
>> Howdy, huh? Howdy. I see Bear Creek Johnny's at it again. Now, there's the smartest man in town. Never gets into trouble and does good business. Someday he's going to be the richest man in Denver.
>> [music] >> Lord help us.
These people, they keep coming, the young and the old into this place. They know not what they do. Oh Lord, your people think only of gold.
I need help.
And we need a church here in Deadwood.
Oh Lord, we need a church.
>> From near and far, the miners gathered.
Wildest tales these dreamers told [music] of the bad lands and the town of Deadwood where the river will go.
They brought along their wives and children.
The trail was long.
The nights were cold.
A brand new day would soon be dawning.
Where they'd all discover gold. [music] >> Sam Bath put you up to that case. Oh, put your mind to wrist, fancy.
[music] The >> way he's beginning to twist you around, it looks as if he's trying to take over Deadwood.
>> Nobody's going to take over this town.
[music] Sam Bass or any other gunslinger.
>> Just you, AK. You alone.
>> Flattery will get you nowhere. [music] Fancy Pin.
[music] Well, I didn't know you could read their creep.
>> Gave you the smartest woman west of St. Louis >> and >> and the prettiest >> and >> and the richest >> and >> and you're going to be all mine.
>> Don't count on it, fancy car.
[laughter] [music] Now that ain't polite. Ma always taught me to be polite.
>> Poor fellow. Maybe he ain't got no more to learn him. Huh?
>> Hey, jockey. A couple classes here.
[music] This altitude is bad. You can knock a fella plum out without hardly hitting them.
>> Yeah.
>> Hey, bring oil here.
>> How the bet's coming in.
>> Running about 50/50, I'd say.
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, when Billy the Kid hits town, Hickok better turn in his gear to Bear Creek.
I saw Hickok stand between two willows, draw and fire three slugs, and hit both willows at the same time.
>> Gentlemen, any kindness would be appreciated.
>> Are you still pushing that sack?
>> Trying to build us a church.
>> Well, now how do we know that all that money you're collecting is going for the church? Yeah, the suits you got in that sack.
>> All right, now stop it, boys or fancy will shoot.
>> Oh, we was just running, Kate.
>> Why sure you wouldn't shoot us? Would you fance?

Take care of us.

>> Sold for $25. There you are, ma'am.
>> Think I'll get me one of them cats.
Maybe help my gala sweeten up a little bit.
>> Yeah, sure. Take a couple.
Makes me feel right sad to part with Mark Twain. I call him I don't count the East Whiskers. A fine mustache.
>> It'll cost you $100, friend.
>> That cat come all the way from Omaha.
>> You hear that, Ben? That cat come all the way from Omaha.
>> $100 with the cat, mister.
>> Huh?
>> Well, now take it easy, Sunny. You don't want to go getting yourself in trouble.
>> Tell a kid who I am.
>> Kid, you're talking here to Ben Hayes and I happen to be Kurt Aken.
>> The money of the cat.
>> Now, kid, maybe you didn't hear what I said. We're Sam Bass's boys. I don't care who you are. The money or the cat.
>> Derby kid, ain't he Kurt? Maybe I ought to teach him a little lesson on respect.
He sure talks big. Down in the panhandle, when punks like you hear our name, they jump right out of their boots.
>> Now, where do you want the slug, kid?
Cuz I don't want to kill you.
>> Well, I suppose you just leave it in your gun.
[laughter] >> Boy, I said I didn't want to kill you, but you keep up with that big talking.
>> Kid, don't you know who I am? I'm Kurt Aken.
Well, now maybe some of these eastern folks here ain't heard of you, Kurt.
But maybe it's time they did.
>> Yeah, I'm going to kill you, kid.
Out here, you got to back up your talk now. Let's just see if you're as fast with that gun as you are with your mouth.
Sure [music] got a fast gun. Billy.
>> Billy. That's Billy the Kid.
>> Billy the Kid. So we Billy the Kid, huh?
Let me see. I didn't >> Billy.
>> I'm Poker Kate. I run the green front.
>> Ma'am, I >> Welcome to Deadwood.
>> I've got a >> pretty fancy gunplay there, Billy.
>> But I'm warning you. Sam Bass will be mattering the devil when he hears that you gun down two of his top boys.
>> Yeah. Well, I've seen a Billy here. Oh, he can take on anybody anytime. Oh, it's the fastest gun I ever saw. Billy >> Hubert, how many times have I told you to quit playing gunslinger?
>> That's Billy the Kid, Ma.
>> First it was Wyatt Earth and now it's Billy the Kid.
>> You don't look too much older.
He ain't much bigger either.
>> I don't care who it is. Come on. But you're going to get yourself back. Billy the kid. Ma, [music] boy, I've been thinking. Why don't you and me be partners? We both want gold.
Now, I got the steak to get us started.
You got the guns to keep us in business.
>> Partners in what? The mining business.
>> Sounds good.
>> We We'll We'll name it the Tennessee Mining Company. How's about it, Billy boy?
>> Okay, >> good.
>> 50/50.
>> I was thinking more like 10% for you.
>> Oh, no. 5050, Tennessee.
>> But that's half.
>> That's right. Half for you, half for me.
>> Well, look, let's get ourselves a drink and then we'll go find a mine, huh? 10% for you.
>> Oh, 5050.
[music] Hello, Billy. [music] They call me Montana, but I'm from New Orleans.
>> Hey, you want to buy a little gal a drink? [music] >> Sure.
>> Okay.
>> You know, you just bought yourself one of the best claims around these parts.
>> Just a minute, sir. If this is the best claim around these parts, how come you're selling? Ain't got no choice.
Can't work it on account of a cold ticker here.
>> You know [music] the doc says that heavy work just might kill me.
>> Yeah, >> I'm going over and talk to my partner.
[music] >> We got ourselves a mind.
Let's play around.
[music] Yes, sir. There's the start of the Tennessee While Company.
>> Well, Halfshot, I see you finally got rid of that worthless mine. [music] The fool and his money is soon pardoned.
>> The kid's liable to draw on you when he finds out what you did to [music] the old boy.
>> That kid ain't going to be around when Hickcock gets here.
[music] >> Who sold you this? Deputy Harden.
>> Poor Valley's got a He's got a bad ticker. He can't work at it himself.
[music] >> Hello, boys. I hear you bought yourselves a mine.
>> Yeah, we sure did.
>> Where?
>> Up near the big sh size of pop.
>> You mean the paw stop?
>> That's what I say. Size of pop.
>> There's gold in those hills. All right.
But that ain't all there is.
Meaning [music] >> meaning it's engine country. Prospectors don't last long there.
>> Don't pay fancy no call, boys.
[music] Like he said, there's plenty of gold in this hill. Gold nuggets feel right at home here at the green front.
>> Montana sure is a cute little thing, ain't she, Billy?
>> She sure is.
We call her our lady in red.
>> Come to think of it, you're kind of cute yourself.
>> You know, I was just about to say the same thing about you.
>> I'll bet you're a real ladies man.
>> I'm not one to brag, but I have had my share of funing with the women folk in my time.
Oh, I'll bet you were a holy terror, handsome.
>> Thank you, kitty.
[music] >> Now, [music] here's to your mind and Billy's success against Wild Bill.
[music] Hooray!
Hooray! In [music] >> How do you feel?
[music] Really, boy? We got ourselves a fine, boy. Let's go back here and get a little drink of poker chain. Poker chain.
Well, let's all say goodbye.
>> He found a partner and to him his story told.
While they searched for gold, they searched for gold.
>> Yeah, there's gold in this here stream and must come from up there.
[music] [music] Yeah. Yeah.
[music] [music] Billy boy.
Go. Go. Billy boy.
Billy boy. Oh, look here. Oh, go. The place must be full of it, Billy boy.
We're going to be rich.
>> [music] >> Woo!
[music] Wow!
[music] >> [music] >> Billy boy, [music] hang up with that, will you? Ain't that a pretty sight?
Yes, sir. And big pie safi is going to make us rich.
[music] I'm going to make us a turwilliger.
>> You going to make a what?
>> Trilliger. We turwilliger this whole area. Yes. Tennessee you still drunk.
>> Drunk.
Back in Tennessee when I was a young I knew when this fell he struck gold in his bean patch. He witched it out just like he's hunting for water.
See it with my own two eyes. Old Daniel Turwilliger was his name.
Well, you go ahead and laugh, boy. Yeah, laugh all you want to.
You just happen to be the richest man in Tennessee. That's all. All that car is for If the Indians didn't know we're here, sure in the hell know now.
Better take turns sacking tonight.
Where you from, Billy?
Georgia.
You old enough to fight in a war?
Georgia Fifth Regiment. I was 12 when I went in.
Oh man.
[music] How come you to drift way out here?
It's a long story.
Well, we got nothing but time.
Well, after I got home from Gettysburg, I found nothing but ashes where my house once stood.
Fields were burned, horses stolen, nothing.
My mom never recovered.
Paul never came back.
Heard he was killed up at Shiloh.
So I just took off and headed west.
kept on the moon.
[music] That's how you you got your reputation, eh? Drifting.
How many men you figure you you killed, Billy?
I'm not Billy the Kid, Tennessee. My name is Billy May.
>> You mean you're not the kid?
>> I never said I was.
>> They They think you are in town. Let them think it. The way I look at it, there's going to be a lot less trouble that way.
>> Less trouble. With Hickok and Sam Bass around, boy, you're in for a heap of trouble. Every gunslingering Deadwood's going to be trying you on size, boy.
And I took you in as a partner as the genuine Billy.
>> That's right, Tennessee. 50/50.
But wasn't it going to be my gun? And your steak is going to make us rich.
But I thought you was Billy the kid.
>> But it's still the same gun that helped you.
Billy boy was like a storm cloud.
But as the grasses fit the sun, like the pine trees meet the mountain, Billy made his fate with God.
Tennessee, >> let's go.
[music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Mr. >> [music] >> You could have been a dead man, Tennessee.
Now you stay awake. You here?
>> You ain't thinking about maybe maybe cutting out your your partner. Are you, Billy?
>> There ain't going to be no partners or no nothing if you keep falling asleep on guard.
Now, I like my scalp just where it is.
>> [music] >> Really? Hey, heat.
>> [music] [music] >> Hello.
Wow.
>> [music] >> Yeah.
[music] Heat.
[music] Heat.
[music] Heat.
[music] Heat. Heat.
[music] [music] Heat.
[music] [music] Heat. [music] Heat. [music] [music] Heat.
[music] Yeah.
[music] [music] [music] [music] Where? Wherever [music] [music] you >> [music] [music] >> Heat.

[music] [music] Heat. [music] Heat.
[music] Heat.
[music] [music] >> [music] [music] >> Woohoo!
Look at this.
We meet again, young one.
Spotted snake not forget. No harm will come to you [music] for now.
Cool.
[music] [music] [music] [music] Heat.
>> [music] >> Huh?
>> Billy.
Paul. Well, Billy Bond.
>> I thought you was dead.
>> I thought you was too.
All these years you've grown [music] into a big man.
Cru too, Paul.
Oh, killer lame mean ginger.
>> Little bird spotted snake's daughter.
>> I guess that's about the whole story, Billy.
>> But Paul, you can't do this.
Boy, you're still fighting the war.
>> Yes. And I'll never stop.
>> But the South surrendered.
>> No Yankee took my sword. And they never will. Never.
You saw what they did to our land, how they treated our women, folk.
But Paul, don't you understand? The war is over.
It's been over for several years. Paul, there's no more fighting.
What are you doing here? Wasting away your life >> here with my Indian friends. A pound something, Billy. The Indians are great soldiers. Look at Redcloud.
I've met with Gaul. Crazy horse. Rain in the face. Together we can annihilate the seventh cavalry.
>> You mean you're planning war?
>> The Sue were planning war. I'm what's left of an army.
And I I believe in them and their cause.
The Yankees are doing to them just what they did to us. But when we're ready, the Yankees will know such hell as they've never known before.
>> I can't believe it. I just can't believe it.
>> If we can destroy Kuster, the Sue can force a treaty and retain the Black Hills. And then this will become the headquarters for what's left of the Confederacy.
Billy, you must join us.
>> Oh, I think you ought to come with me and forget this whole crazy scheme. They need men like you in Deadwood.
>> Deadwood?
When I go to Deadwood, I'll take an army of warriors and I'll burn it to the ground.
And I'll raise the Confederate flag over the ashes in the name of the Sue. But you can't do that. Don't you see? You're using the Indians for your own purpose.
You wait and see. Soon you'll hear what happens to Kuster.
>> Oh, you're talking like a mad man.
>> I am a mad man. I've got good calls to be now. You stay here with us. You'll think different.
[music] Heat.

>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> You change your mind, Billy?
>> Look, Paul, I got a partner. He's working our claim.
So, I got to get back.
>> What's Billy? This is Chief Bigfoot, Chief Gaul and crew dog, friend of Crazy Horse. My friends, my boy will soon join us. He too is a Confederate and an experienced soldier.
>> Oh, I ain't joining nothing.
>> I I taught him how to handle pistols.
He's fast as the best of them. Ain't that right, Billy? Tonight [music] you sit with our [music] council.
>> Oh, I said I had to go.
Why don't you leave these people to their ways? You don't need to teach them white men's war.
>> Teach these men why I learn from them more than they learn from me. These chiefs are great generals, great as any white generals.
Gaul could have stood up with Stonewall Jackson and Crazy Horse and Kodog. All fine field general.
Well, tonight we'll feast and then we'll council and the Confederacy will be born again, Billy. [music] Yeah.
[music] [music] [music] Yeah.
Yeah.
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Billy.
>> Billy.
>> Billy.
>> [music] >> I got to be going, Paul.
>> Son, what are you aiming to do?
>> I'm sorry, Paul. I don't think you're waiting.
>> Well, go then.
But you'll come back. You and I don't have a country. This is our country. A home.
>> No, Paul. This is not my home.
>> Great chief. I do not want any part of war. I only want gold so I can go back to Georgia and live in peace.
>> Peace.
All men should think peace.
You may dig all the gold you want.
>> My prayers will not harm you.
>> Go.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye, Paul.
[music] Billy boy had met his true love.
Indian girl with a face so fair.
She would be forever faithful.
Fill her soul with a love so rare.
[music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Tennessee.
Tennessee.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[music] >> [music] [music] >> What are you doing here?
>> I stay with you.
>> You can't do that.
You better [music] go back to your people. You're a little young to be running about all alone.
You understand what I say.
>> I am not alone. I am with you.
You >> can't stay with me.
>> Why?
>> Because you can't. That's why.
I stay.
>> You can't stay.
>> I stay.
You see this shirt? This belonged to [music] my partner, Tennessee Thompson.
Something's happened to him. It's not safe here.

So that's why you gun down them two men, huh?
I'm sure you didn't come here to say that, Tennessee.
So what do you want?
I come to tell you that that the Hickok just rode into town. He checked into other hotel. Poker Kate and Fancy Pog.
They're with him right now having a little talk about you. They they know that you're not the kid. Come tomorrow, you'll be dead and they'll be richer.
A lot of money being bet on you, boy.
Especially after tonight.
I I've been telling everybody you ain't the kid, but nobody will believe me.
You're worrying about me again, Tennessee.
You You ain't fixing to take Hickok on, are you? Oh, Billy boy. Nobody's that fast. Not even Herp or or Clay Allison.
>> I didn't say I was taking anybody on.
>> Yeah, but you're thinking it. I can see it in your eyes. Listen to me, boy.
Leave now or you're going to be dead tomorrow.
Oh, all you damn guns is alike.
Maybe it ain't just Hiccops you got to worry about. Sam Bass is going to be here, too. And he's going to be firing mad when he finds out that you gunned down four of his boys. If you stay here tomorrow, you you're just aching to be laid in the grave.
It's mighty kind of you to worry about me. So Tennessee, why the sudden change of heart or what? I tell you what I'm going to do.
I'm going to make you a full partner again on one condition. Now you leave now while you can. Go to them friends.
You was telling me about them engine friends.
Is it me or that mine you're worried about? Tennessee.
>> Confounded young and stubborn as an army mule.
>> Tennessee.
>> Good night.
>> Good night.
>> Beautiful night.
>> Yeah.
>> Thanks [music] for the drink, Kate. See you in the morning. Fancy.
>> Good night, Bill.
>> Good night.
>> [music] >> Well, Kate, looks like we're in business. Hickock doesn't know it yet, but he's working for us.
>> Don't be too sure, Fancy.
Hickock's no fool.
>> Neither am I, Kate.
Mr. Hick.
>> Yes.
>> You don't know me. My name's Tennessee Thompson.
I'd like to talk to you about tomorrow if you got a few minutes.
>> Seems like a lot of people want to talk about tomorrow.
>> That boy going up against you tomorrow, he ain't Billy the kid.
>> Well, why is he passing himself off as the kid?
>> Well, he never actually said that he was. The town just sort of took it for granted after he gunned down Ben Hayes and Kurt Akens. He >> gunned down Spec Greer and Hawk Russell, too. Those boys are pretty fast guns.
Takes a good man to do that. What is it you want? Uh, Mr. Thompson.
>> I don't want Billy to get killed.
>> Well, no one's forcing him into a showdown with me.
>> You know how young kids are.
>> Yes, I know how they are. They all want to be a a big man. Look, Mr. Thompson, I've never seen Billy the Kid, and I don't know if this boy is him or not, so I can't take a chance.
>> Mr. Hickock, I I just saw you talking there to Fancy Pog and and Poker Kate. Now, they both know that that he ain't Billy the Kid.
I understand. And and I hear that that you're a square shooter. If you are, Mr. Hickoff, you won't gun down that boy tomorrow.
Boy, are you over fast, Hubert.
>> Pretty soon, folks are going to be hearing about the Badlands Kid.
>> The Badlands Kid. Is that what you're going to call yourself, Hubert?
>> The Badlands Kid? Yeah, the Badlands Kid. And I'm going to be the fastest gun in the Dakota territory. I bet you could outdraw Billy the Kid.
>> I bet he can't.
>> Yeah, I've been thinking about taking him on.
>> Really?
>> He ain't going to take on Billy the Kid.
>> Yeah, you listen to me, Ernie. I can outdraw you any day.
>> You come home and finish my costume.
>> You hurt your mommy wants you.
>> I'm going to get you, Ernie.
Oh, >> what time is it, Fancy?
>> We'll be rich in 10 minutes.
>> How you betting, Fancy?
Pickot looks pretty good.
Turn around here. You're on.
[music] >> [music] >> I still say Hickok's the fastest gun around.
>> He ain't no faster than Billy the Kid.
>> Got 20 bucks says he is.
>> There he comes now.
>> He don't look so tough.
>> You want to take him on?
>> You don't scare me.
>> Not a big talk, kid.
>> Yeah.

>> Billy, you're going to get yourself killed.
[music] [music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> I hear you came to kill me, Billy.
>> I came to Deadwood to dig for gold.
>> John Slaughter says he came to gun me down.
I never saw John Slaughter in my life.
>> That's true. He never saw John.
>> Are you Billy the kid?
>> No.
>> He is the kid.
>> What's your name, son?
>> Billy May.
>> He's just trying to talk his way out of it. Peacock's afraid of it.
Thank the Lord.
>> I asked to make these men friends and he heard me.
>> Preacher, maybe you got something there.
You know, someday I'm I'm going to read that good book of yours.
>> We can begin together. There is a verse in Matthew that I think would be appropriate here.
Hey, >> read for yourself.
[music] Preacher, I confess I can't read.
>> Mr. Hiccop, >> I don't know quite what to say to you.
>> Forget it, Billy. Are you a relation to Boon May?
>> He's my paw. You know him?
>> Sure. Wanted buffalo with him a while back.
I hear he's living with the Indians now.
>> Yeah.
>> He used to be proud of you, Billy.
Keep it that way.

>> Just how do you know it was self-defense?
>> The go talking to him. He saw the whole thing.
>> That's right. Damn it. He did do it in self-defense.
>> Hang is too good for that, Billy.
>> You keep out of this. You're no good little varmint.
>> Don't you call me a vit.
[music] >> How are you, Sam?
I see.
>> Guess you heard about your boys.
>> Yeah, >> too bad.
>> Town looks pretty riled.
>> Ought to be. Same fella just gunned down a 15-year-old boy.
