George Hearst,
mining magnate George Hearst sends his agent, Francis Wolcott, ahead of him to Deadwood to secure a set of claims. When Hearst finally arrives by coach, Wolcott has managed to consolidate all of the major claims for his employer — save one, Alma Garrett Ellsworth's.
His plan: to build a gold mining empire, staffed round the clock with cheap Chinese laborers. Wu and Lee fight to the death (Lee's) for the business. Meanwhile, Hearst wastes no time securing himself a place of prominence, purchasing the Grand Central from Farnum for $100,000 and installing him as manager. He remodels immediately, busting out a veranda to rival Swearengen’s balcony, as a place to watch over his intended domain. Even Swearengen is forced to form uncommon alliances to deal with this ruthless outsider.
