"Mister Wu" is the tenth episode of the first season of Deadwood. It is the tenth episode of the series overall. It premiered on May 23, 2004. It was written by Bryan McDonald and directed by Daniel Minahan.
An opium theft leaves Swearengen trying to find common language with his supplier.
It's the breakfast hour in an ever-more-crowded Deadwood, but Seth Bullock is having trouble pulling himself away from his work as health commissioner. "What was in my mind to raise my hand," he asks aloud to Sol Star. On the way to the Grand Central Hotel for a meal, Bullock outlines a couple of his ideas for improving the town to E.B. Farnum, but the spurious mayor is loath to divert any tax money away from bribes to the magistrates.
An angry Mr. Wu causes an uproar by using the front door of The Gem Saloon and calling for Swearengen; Al invites the man up to his office. Drawing pictures on a piece of paper, Wu furiously explains that two white "cocksuckers" killed his courier and stole an opium shipment-much of which was destined for Swearengen. Al sends Wu on his way - out the back door - and calls for Dan Dority to scare up the dope fiend Jimmy Irons.
Bullock, Star and the newspaperman A.W. Merrick share breakfast in the Grand Central, which is packed to the rafters. Bullock gives Merrick a letter to the editor in an effort to build support for his health proposals. Later, as the three take a walk with Charlie Utter, Merrick proposes the formation of Deadwood's first club-perhaps dedicated to walking-but the idea falls flat with the others.
Swearengen and Farnum are stuffing bribe envelopes when the two "bagmen" from the magistrate arrive. Al becomes furious when he reads a letter from the magistrate, and curses the messenger, Silas Adams.
Later, the junkie Irons has been produced. Swearengen asks about the whereabouts of fellow dope fiend Leon, who deals Faro at the Bella Union. Jimmy says he hasn't seen him, but Swearengen immediately sees through him. "Jimmy, you've been wrong since you got in here," he says. The junkie quickly caves and admits that he and Leon jumped the courier, and promises to bring Al whatever is left.
The Gem has a surprise guest in Reverend H.W. Smith, who is having a world of a time listening to the piano, despite his obviously worsening condition. Swearengen asks Smith to frequent another joint, as men of the cloth are bad for business.
