are deeply affected by Charlie Utter's murder. At the end of the film, Jane overcomes her fears and kills Harry Manning in order to save Seth Bullock from a gunshot to the back. Though she insists that Wild Bill Hickok's spirit came into her at that moment, Joanie assures her that she alone was responsible for that moment of heroism. Though never referred to as "Calamity Jane" in the original series, the origin of her nickname is implied by Andy Cramed, a smallpox victim left to die in the woods by Cy Tolliver, whom she helped nurse back to health. Upon his recovery, he tells her "Hereafter in calamity, I'll be sure to call for Jane." Dan Dority Dan Dority (W. Earl Brown) is Al Swearengen's right-hand man. A former bushwhacker, he has been with Al for years and serves him as a bodyguard, enforcer, and killer. While violent and short-tempered, Dority is not a heartless killer. In the first season he defies Al with the help of Doc Cochran by helping spirit Sofia Metz out of town instead of killing her, and chooses not to harm Ellsworth even though he knows Ellsworth witnessed his murder of Brom Garret. Many others fall victim to Dan's short temper, though. He is very loyal to Al; when Al is deathly ill at the start of Season 2, Dan tells Trixie that he would have been a good-for-nothing scumbag if he had never met Al. Dan is sometimes jealous of fellow henchman Silas Adams' favor with Al, leading Adams to comment to him, "Any chance you and me don't end in blood?" The two have an uneasy alliance, however, and Adams saves Dan from a throat-cutting in the Season 2 finale. Al's choice to use Adams in his negotiations with George Hearst also draws resentment, despite Dan's clear unsuitability for the task. In Season 3, Dority is challenged to a fight by Hearst's bodyguard, Captain Turner. He wins, brutally killing Turner in the streets of Deadwood, but is nearly killed himself. The incident leaves him slightly traumatized, now fully realizing his own mortality. Charlie Utter Charles "Charlie" Utter (Dayton Callie) is the good friend of Hickok and Jane, and Hickok's sometime business partner. He runs a mail and freight business in the camp and is also one of Bullock's deputies. He is an honest and uncomfortable person with a kind and generous nature.
