At the end, as Django runs out of ammo, Stephen gives him two options: surrender or see Broomhilda be killed. King agrees, but he soon kills Candie with a gunshot wound into the chest, which leads to a brutal gunfight, during which Stephen is seen mourning over Candie's body. Later, he informs Candie that Django and Schultz are more interested in Broomhilda than purchasing the male slaves they had told him they wanted.Įnraged at being tricked, Candie threatens to kill Broomhilda unless King can afford her for $12,000. In the kitchen, he taunts Broomhilda about whether or not she knows Django. Noticing how Django and Broomhilda look at each other during dinner, he becomes suspicious. This is a kind of freedom of itself, because it affords Stephen the opportunity to watch and see what is really going on at the dinner table. As the senior house slave, he has the luxury of being the authority over the other slaves, but his intellect, like that of all slaves, is grossly underestimated by his owner. During the meal, Stephen's dislike towards Django grows increasingly apparent due to the fact that he is a free man and is free to ride a horse alongside white men. Despite Stephen's protests, Candie commands him to release her and clean her up to spend the evening with Schultz before dinner. When Candie requests that the German-speaking slave Broomhilda (referred to as "Hildy") be prepared for King Schulz's company, Stephen informs his master that Broomhilda has attempted to escape and has been locked in the "hot box". From his first look at Django on his horse, he develops a deep hatred for the emancipated slave. Stephen greets Candie quite familiarly, having been raised in Candie's household and practically raising Calvin from youth. Being a senior house slave more respected than the rest, Stephen personally views himself second only to the white man with all his fellow black people beneath him.Ĭalvin Candie returns to Candyland along with his men, Schultz and Django. He is the secondary antagonist, later true main antagonist of Django Unchained. Jackson Stephen (1783 - May 7, 1859) was Calvin Candie's starkly loyal house slave and close friend.
