him, and Johnny asks Al if Jen suffered. Al says he tried to do it as painlessly as possible. When Johnny leaves the room, Al adds the comment, "Wants me to tell him something pretty." In Deadwood: The Movie, Burns remains affected by Jen's death, but forms a new relationship with a recent arrival to Al's saloon, Caroline Woolgarden. Although Johnny is portrayed as very dumb, he does show some forms of intelligence. For example, he can read and teach it to others, and later in the series, he shows understanding of Wu's drawings and pidgin English when even Al cannot make out the meaning. (leading to a punch in the face by an embarrassed Al) Silas Adams Silas Adams (Titus Welliver), also known as "the bagman from Yankton", comes to camp to collect bribe money for Magistrate Clagget. Swearengen hires Adams to join his operation, as he is smarter than Al's other lackeys, paying him to slice Clagget's throat for extorting money from Swearengen. Adams serves Swearengen as his contact in Yankton to bring him news of the territorial changes. Al also relies on Adams' legal counsel when dealing with Commissioner Jarry and his election proposals. Adams also serves as middleman between Swearengen and George Hearst. Adams has a brief, ill-fated romance with Miss Isringhausen, who turns out to be a Pinkerton agent. He is a rival of Dan Dority's for Swearengen's favor, although Adams saves Dan's life from a Chinese knife-wielder in the season 2 finale, and the two form a tenuous alliance. Sofia Metz Sofia Metz (Bree Seanna Wall; Lily Keene in the film) is the sole survivor of an attack on her family on the way home to her native Minnesota. She and her family are members of the Norwegian community in Minnesota, and are referred to as "squareheads" by Swearengen, a slur against Scandinavians. Unknown to Swearengen, a robbery by men who often work for him is disguised as an attack by hostile Indians, and leaves Sofia traumatized and unresponsive. With her parents and two sisters (Marta and Ingrid) murdered, yet possibly unable to speak English, she is nevertheless targeted for murder by Swearengen to eliminate the possibility of her identifying her family's killers; however, with the help and protection of Jane Cannary and Doc Cochran, she regains her health and becomes the ward of Alma Garret. She grows especially close to Whitney Ellsworth after
