Complete story — includes the ending

Out of options, Alma sells her claim to Hearst. He demands Trixie's death, but Al decides to kill Jen, Johnny's favorite prostitute that looks vaguely similar to her, instead. Johnny refuses Al's order to do the killing; Al tells Dan to knock Johnny out and restrain him while he kills Jen himself. Al then passes her off as Trixie to Hearst. The election occurs, and Hearst's soldiers vote for Manning, winning him the position of sheriff. Tolliver learns that Hearst is giving him a low-ranking position in his organization and kills Leon in frustration. Satisfied with what has occurred, Hearst leaves Deadwood as Tolliver aims a gun at him from afar but does not fire. Johnny asks Al if Jen suffered, and he assures him that he did his best, grumbling about how Johnny wants to be told "something pretty" as he cleans Jen's blood.
