mcshane reprised his role of swearengen in "" (2019), which takes place in 1889, ten years after the series ended, and abandons any linkage to history. this time we see a much different swearengen who has made peace with many from his past and is seen now as more of a community leader. time has taken its toll on swearengen, and throughout the film he is in declining health ending with his implied imminent death due to complications of liver failure. he leaves the gem to his former prostitute trixie (a character played by paula malcomson, created for the series and not based on any one real life person). this is in contrast to the historical swearengen's murder 15 years later.
