[MUSIC]
[MEN SHOUT]
Hey!
[DOG YIPS]
Shh, shh, shh.
Push, push.
I'll be home late.
It's so early.
Yeah. It's gonna be a long day. [SIGHS]
[LAUGHS]
You look torn.
Should you go to work
or should you lie on top of me?
God don't like me enough to
give me you in the morning
and a peaceful afternoon
in the same day.
[DEEP BREATH]
Me in the morning
or peace in the afternoon.
That's a tough choice.
I'd hate to be in your shoes.
Hmm.
[MUSIC]
[BIRDSONG]
[MUSIC]
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS]
Don't get up. Stay as long as you want.
Hey, baby, I wish some
bronc'd break my back,
so I could lay in bed all day
bumping fuckin' uglies 'til noon.
Don't that sound nice?
- Just a matter of time.
- It ain't happening.
- It's one hundred percent happening.
- See?
This is how you get
your eyeball poked out
at three in morning.
When the fuck did the bunkhouse
become Paradise Island?
I mean, c'mon, Lloyd.
You've got to be kidding me.
She's old enough to
vote and buy bullets.
Don't be blaming me
for her bad judgment.
Get these goddam barrel
racers out of here
before the whole bunkhouse
is carrying their groomed
bag to the rodeo
and feeding their sausage
dogs like fucking assholes.
Hey, we're not freeloaders.
If you want to put us
to work, we can work.
Jimmy, get your shit together.
You're with me today.
Go get that 5 year-old
sorrel out of that stall.
I'll get him.
[SIGH]
Hmm.
Where you taking him?
I'm tired of trying to ride the
rodeo out of this son of a bitch.
I'm taking him to Hamilton.
And he can buck all he wants there.
Can I come?
No, it's not a fucking road trip.
He's too busted up to
help you. I can help.
She doesn't have to do
that. I'm just being
Who is that, Jimmy?
It's, uh, Mia. She's my girlfriend.
[CHUCKLES]
This is gonna be one of these
fucking days, isn't it?
I should have never got out of bed.
Go get your ass in the truck.
What do y'all want to listen to?
The air conditioning.
- No music?
- No music.
Strong silent type. I like it.
Looks like he used dogs.
He made an alley with panels.
- Looks like cows and calves.
- I'll call the sale barn.
Did you brand those calves yet?
- Ear tags?
- Nothing.
Well, if he's smart,
he'll change the brand on those cows
and drive 'em to North Dakota.
But he's gonna wanna sell
those calves right now.
Ryan, why don't you take
the sale barn in Three Forks.
You take Lewiston, I'll take Billings.
[MUSIC]
This is Livestock Agent Hendon.
May I speak to the auction manager?
[DOOR OPENS]
There's no court filing that
changes Power of Attorney
for the Dutton ranch for John Dutton.
Well, then she used Schwartz
and Meyers attorneys
and they filed it in Salt Lake.
Does that make it invalid here?
No, but it does muddy the water.
Oh, and Elections Division
needs a certified copy
of your birth certificate.
Okay, that's fine.
I can't sign for it. Has to be you.
They can get it for you downstairs.
Can it wait until after the meeting?
They said it must be on file
to ratify your appointment.
I think they want it
done before the meeting.
Okay.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
WOMAN: Driver's license
and Social Security card?
Oh.
[SIGHS]
- Schwartz and Meyer?
- Yep.
- Didn't we replace a
- Yep.
You know, I'd double pane that.
Was thinking the same thing.
Great minds, buddy. Great minds.
Seem to be doing a lot of that lately.
A lot of what?
Whole lot of staring into nothing.
I have decisions to make that take time.
Take a lot of thought.
The world just got a
little too fast, honey.
We need to find a way to slow it down.
Not sure the world does slow down, Dad.
It does if you know how.
You're going to have
to teach me that trick.
You're going to marry him, aren't you?
Maybe.
If he asks me.
Yes.
He won't ask you, honey.
Why not?
Not because he doesn't want to,
but because he'll never
ask me for your hand,
and he'll never ask you
without doing that.
He wouldn't want to put
me in that position,
even though he isn't
putting me anywhere.
He just won't do it, honey,
so if it's what you want,
you're gonna have to do
the asking yourself.
Are you saying you'd be okay with that?
Are you asking me to be okay with it?
[CLEARS THROAT, SWALLOWS]
Can he have my hand, Daddy?
[MUSIC]
Do you love him?
Makes you happy?
Since the moment I met him.
Well, hap
Happy is all I've ever wanted
for you, sweetheart.
You Give him your hand
if he gives you that.
Thank you, Daddy.
[MUSIC]
I'm sorry, Beth.
Sorry for what?
That you thought you
couldn't come to me.
That you thought I'd be ashamed
or you'd be in trouble for
it or whatever you thought.
I am the one safe person in this world
that you can turn to,
Beth, for anything.
And it breaks my heart I
didn't make you know that.
I know it now.
And now is all that matters.
Boy, you made me work for this one.
Oh, yeah? How'd I do that?
You didn't tell me you were adopted.
Because I'm not.
This isn't me.
[SIGHS]
-
- [MUSIC]
What the fuck is this?
You were adopted.
I'm gonna save you three
days on the internet
trying to figure why
your family lied to you.
This is what took me so long.
- This is a criminal court record.
- Mm-hmm.
-
- What ?
What
One thing I've learned behind this desk?
Most people believe they're
doing the right thing.
Even though they ain't.
I wouldn't go too hard
on your dad on this one.
I wouldn't want you to know that either.
[PAPERS SHUFFLING]
[KNOCKING]
Not now.
- But the meeting
- Not now.
Wait.
Contact the Bureau of Prisons,
find out if this man has been paroled.
If he has, I want his address,
his phone number,
his place of employment
and everything, okay?
Okay, I'll get right on it.
[SIGHS]
Who the fuck are you?
Hey, Rip, where'd you get your jacket?
Uh, the Murdoch's, I believe, in Dillon.
Is it a Filson?
I don't know.
I mean, it kinda looks like a Filson.
I really like them short
jackets like that.
They look hot on a girl?
Ya know what I think looks hot?
When a girl wears a
jacket like it's a shirt.
Like, nothing underneath,
just the jacket.
I think that's sexy.
If you think about it,
it's sexy when men wear
exactly what they're supposed to wear,
but for girls it's sexy to wear
what you're not supposed to wear.
I don't know. I wonder why that is.
I guess it's the taboo of it, ya know?
Oh, shit, these are Kerry Kelley spurs!
Woo, I bet these sons of bitches
sing all the way down the barn alley.
Goddamn. You need to
get you some of these.
How much are they?
They're like a thousand dollars.
Thousand dollars.
Hey, cool shit ain't cheap and
cheap shit ain't cool, okay?
Some Kerry Kelley spurs,
and a Bob Marrs saddle
You may not be a cowboy,
but by God you'll look like one.
Hey, if y'all were on a desert island
and could only listen to one
song for the rest of your life,
what would it be?
And remember, that son
of a bitch is gonna play
twenty-four-seven from the heavens
like a fucking rain storm.
I would choose "Turtles
All the Way Down"
by Sturgill Simpson, personally.
Man, I'd lay buck-ass naked on the sand
and listen to that song
and pray the rescue boat never finds me.
You know that song, Rip?
Hmm? What song?
"Turtles All the Way Down."
Let me play it for ya,
you're gonna love it.
Yes, Mia, you know what?
Put on some music.
Won't that be nice, Jimmy?
Some music would be nice, wouldn't it?
I swear, you're going to love it.
Right.
I've seen Jesus play with flames ♪
In a lake of fire I was standing in ♪
Hey, come here. Come here.
When we get back to the
ranch, I'm gonna kill you.
With my bare fucking hands, Jimmy.
I'm gonna kill you for this.
[SIGHS]
Met Buddha yet another time ♪
Showed me a glowing light within ♪
I thought you moved to Salt Lake.
I did. Then I moved here.
Had enough of L.A., huh.
Yeah, when bearded hipsters
started riding scooters
to work I got the fuck out of there.
I hate that place.
This Market Equities thing.
It's a real pickle.
Are you advising them now?
The chairman.
We find ourselves on the same side.
Really?
Oh, this could be interesting.
Do you know Willa Hayes?
I've never met her.
You have a tiger by
the tail with that one.
I've grabbed them before.
She's going to get you fired.
You know that, right?
I'm pretty hard to get rid of.
What about your brother?
Can he be trusted?
I wouldn't buy water
from that motherfucker
if I was in the desert.
Good to know.
To win this, we're going
to have to get dirty.
I stay dirty.
Good.

Wow
There's rodeo on the weekends, Jimmy,
there's rodeo for a living,
and then there's business rodeo.
This here is the business rodeo.
[COUNTRY MUSIC]
What's going on?
You boys got a rank one, huh?
Yep. Where you want him at?
Drop him off in the arena.
We'll stick him in the chute
and see what he can do.
- All righty.
- [CAR STARTS]
Holy shit, that's Sid Steiner.
Ever met a world champion before, Jimmy?
Now you have.
Boy going pro this year?
Year after next.
He messing around with
those high school rodeos?
Naw, Rip. We're going to hold off
- until he can take a shot at the big show.
- All right.
That's when they'll find
out what he's made of.
You ready?
[SHOUTING]
Keep fighting, keep fighting,
keep fighting, keep fighting!
Keep going!
Keep fighting.
Get off.
Jesus.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
There's a good cowboy.
Well, what do you think?
He bucks pretty good, Rip,
but he's no rodeo horse.
I'll give you a few grand for him,
but that's just because it's you.
Boss just wants him off the feed bill.
I don't want to slap him on yours.
Tell you what, we can
keep getting on him
'til he doesn't want to buck
anymore if that helps you any.
I'll take care of it.
I appreciate it, Sid.
Appreciate you, Rip.
He didn't want the horse?
Don't buck hard enough for 'em.
Wait, he's saying that horse
doesn't buck hard enough?
Evidently not, Jimmy. Let's go.
RIP: Jimmy.
That horse bucked off
everyone at the ranch.
Already bucked me off twice.
Mm-hmm.
That Steiner kid stuck to
it like a fucking Band-Aid.
Yeah.
That boy's been riding sheep
since when he was four, Jimmy.
Steers since he was seven.
Not to mention, he's got three
world champions in his family
to teach him.
And he could still die.
I want you to think about that.
What is this?
What, this is your way of
telling me not to rodeo?
It's my way of showing
you why you shouldn't.
What you do with what I show you, Jimmy?
I'll leave that to you. Come on.
This looks good.
[COWS LOWING]
Hey.
You ever seen him before?
No.
[MUSIC]
Stop.
[ENGINE REVS]
[GAGS]
Put it in park or I'll drag you
across the whole fucking state.
Ah!
Meet me at the sale barn in Billings.
I got him.
Did you do this alone?
Oh, yeah.
Ah!
I want a name and an address.
And if you lie to me again,
I'm gonna stop hitting you
and start beating you.
You understand me?
Yeah.
[COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING]
Doc letting you eat steak again?
Yeah, got a clean bill
of health, Maggie.
I can eat whatever the hell I want.
Still like it rare?
Yeah, just pull it out of the cooler,
whisper fire, and
put it on my plate.
I don't believe in coincidences.
One thing you aren't is stupid.
And you having the audacity
to set foot in this state again,
much-less work on the
land beside mine
My best guess is that
your boyfriend in prison
fucked all the common
sense right out of you.
Nice to see you have a
child who lived, Wade.
He sure drew the short straw
when it came to you
for a father, though.
I gave you a job,
a place to call home for
the rest of your life
and you stole the one thing a
fucking cowboy doesn't steal.
And now you're here.
And you ain't stupid.
I'm here because I was hired to be here
and you can not like that all you want.
Hell, maybe that's the reason
they hired me in the first place.
Anytime you want to wrestle
a bear instead of a cub
you can pick the barn, John.
I'll meet you behind it.
Wade.
You have something that belongs to me.
Come and get it.
I plan to.
Oh, shit!
Fuck.
This fucking day.
Want to fucking play games with me?
You want to fucking
He seems really mad.
Like, I mean, wow,
that is one mad fucking man right there.
I think inside the truck is
the safest place for us.
Jimmy, put that fucking horse away.
Hey, don't blame me.
I gave you a choice.
This has a "first chink
in the armor" feel to it.
Mm. Mm.
A little better?
Not yet.
[DEEP BREATHS]
So, dear. How was your day?
- [CHUCKLES]
- Huh?
Well, my day was illuminating.
Come sit with me.
[GROANS]
What's that?
Um, the proper term for it
would be a juxtaposition.
I don't know what that means, Beth.
I know, baby.
Look at that.
Hm.
Looks like an O-ring.
You're half-way right.
I didn't think you were a
diamonds and gold kinda girl.
- [LAUGHS]
- Know what I mean?
Yep.
Well, I don't need presents, Beth.
Just you.
Well, that's what it means.
It means that you
that you have me, that I'm yours.
It means "come live your life with me,"
and the only thing I
ask is you outlive me
so I never have to live
another day without you.
I can try and do that.
Okay.
It's settled.
We're getting married.
[CHUCKLES]
Married, huh?
Yeah, baby. I'm asking you to marry me.
Will you do that?
I mean, I
I would have to ask your father, though.
It's handled.
I spared you the indignity.
So what do you say?
I mean I
I woulda liked some diamonds, actually.
Is that a yes?
Beth, I can't go to no courthouse.
There's no record I even
exist on this planet.
[MUSIC]
Yeah, well, a marriage license,
that's just a contract.
Okay? That's just business.
We ain't going into business together.
So marriage to me is
you take me in front of those mountains.
In front of my family.
My friends.
I don't have any friends,
but should I make one,
you would stand in front of them
and you would tell them
there is no more you and I.
There's only us.
[MUSIC]
I can do that.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
[MUSIC]
[COWS LOWING]
- See the brands?
- I did.
Livestock officer, open up.
Open the door.
[DOOR LOCKS]
Watch the front. I'll take the back.
[WHISPERING] Get off the wall.
- What?
- Get off the fucking wall.
Turn your chest to the wall.
[GUNSHOT]
Ah!
- You gonna live?
- [GASPS]
That's why I told you to
turn your chest to the wall.
If that had hit you in the side,
we'd be scooping you into
a body bag with a shovel.
That's Pretty fucking descriptive.
- Can you get up? We ain't done.
- Yeah.
I'd call for EMS, but I can't
reach for my radio, Kayce.
It's okay, come here.
Come here. Back slow.
Dispatch, this is one-one-zero, Code 3.
Two officers down, multiple GSW.
Send EMS and all available
units to my 20.
- Copy one-one-zero.
- You all right, man?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Just stay still.
- Please advise if your 20 has changed.
Twenty is the same.
[CHILD SCREAMS]
[MUSIC]
[CRYING]
JAMIE: You always preached the truth.
You said it's all a man has.
His word.
Judge him by nothing else.
Are there different
rules for judging you?
Or is some other definition
of truth that I'm unaware of?
You know the truth and what it means.
All right, I don't know the truth.
I just know lies.
I know the lie you told
me every day of my life.
And worse, if that's possible,
the lie you had me tell you.
Every. Day. Of my life.
What lie is that, son?
That. That's the lie.
You called me son, and you
made me call you father.
Sit down.
You don't get to tell me
what do to anymore.
Then get the fuck out of my house.
You can sit in my living
room or you can leave it.
Those are your options.
When a bull breeds a cow,
we don't call the calf its son.
The bull is the sire.
The calf is its offspring.
That's all.
The cow, well, she she is the mother.
Because she fed it. Protected it.
Cared for it. Loved it.
She deserves to be called mother.
But the bull He's
He's just a bull.
That's all. And that's
all he'll ever be.
Your mother never got
a chance to love you.
You were three months old
when he beat her to death
with a shower head.
The woman who loved you and fed you
and protected you was my wife.
And me.
I protected you.
I taught you. I guided you.
I gave you love and kindness
and everything your future was
guaranteed to be without.
So you can call me
whatever you want, Jamie.
But I will call you son
because I have earned the right.
And earning it has been the
hardest thing I've ever done.
Did you know him?
Yeah, I knew him.
And when he married the woman
who gave birth to you,
we all begged her not to
do it because we knew.
But I guess she thought
she could save him.
Why she wanted to bother
in the first place,
I don't know.
I don't know how to explain
the chemistry of attraction.
The thing that drives us to do
the very thing that will kill us.
I can't explain it to you,
because I don't understand it myself.
But you are in a unique position, Jamie.
Pretty much everyone at
one point or another,
whether just mad or curious,
wonders what life would be
like with different parents.
You actually have the
opportunity to choose.
You're a resourceful man, son.
So, if he's still alive,
I'm sure you can find him.
And you can look into
his black fucking heart.
His rotten
You can look into his eyes,
Jamie, and you get to choose.
You can choose who you call father.
Goddamn, I'm tired.
In my soul, I still feel young.
[MUSIC]
In here, I feel sixteen.
In my heart, I just feel
so damn tired.
I never thought I'd be tired of living
while I was still strong
enough to do it.
Goodnight, son.
[MUSIC]
