Yellowstone (2018) s03e08 Episode Script
I Killed a Man Today
1
Tate.
Let's get down for breakfast.
He's at the fairgrounds.
He's watching the cowhorse guys
with your father.
Cowhorse guys?
Oh, Jesus.
He's horse shopping.
Well, he should enjoy his retirement.
If a horse makes him happy,
he should buy it.
My dad ain't retired.
Here's what he does all day:
he goes on walks with Tate,
and he goes riding with Tate,
he goes fishing with Tate.
He plays baseball with Tate.
Meanwhile, you're working sixteen
hours a day doing his job.
Both of his jobs, actually.
The man is retired.
- You painting the house today?
- Huh?
Why you dressed like that?
Doing some volunteer work today.
Like a car wash?
Something like that.
You're lucky he's horse shopping.
When a man in your
father's position retires,
he usually gets a 25
year-old girlfriend,
then buys them a sports car and a condo.
25 year-old girlfriend, a sports car,
and a condo would be cheaper.
Trust me.
Damn, you look good.
Go save your father from himself.
You gonna buy him?
Maybe.
But we already have a
lot of horses at home.
I got a lot of using horses.
There's two ways to
make money on a ranch:
sell cattle and market horses.
I don't have a horse to market.
How do you market a horse?
Send them down the road and
see what they can make.
So, I ain't just looking
at the horse today.
I'm looking at the rider, too.
Are these the best riders?
Best in the world.
Nice horse, Bob.
Thank you, sir, he's a good one.
You gonna keep him on
the road if I buy him?
You know, I'm trying to enjoy my life.
If you buy him, you show him.
Don't wanna show him.
I'm trying to enjoy mine, too.
You know, you've got an arena
full of world champions out here.
You could close your eyes,
throw a stick, and hit a winner.
You wanna make big money on a horse,
learn how to do that.
Learn how to be an artist.
You running her in the cow
horse or the reining?
I'd show her in a chariot race
if there was enough prize money.
You still pal around
with Travis Wheatley?
Shit. Against my better judgement.
That son of a bitch
If you were stuck in quicksand,
he'd charge you for the rope
before he pulled you out.
That's for damn sure.
Sure a lot of fun at the bar, though.
That's his special skill.
Any of those boys are going to
work for you, you know that.
I've got a beach in my sights.
I'm gonna stick my toes in the sand.
- Save me a seat, would ya?
- You got it.
He don't look too done to me, does he?
Dad, we do not need
Wow. That's a nice horse.
Expensive taste runs in the blood.
That's the only way my dad would get it
'cause he's broke as hell.
Hey. Stay away from the bunkhouse.
Headed to the office, huh?
Yeah.
Pretty quick investigation.
I just wanna get through some paperwork.
Not really cleared to
go back out just yet.
Boys are all right, though?
- They'll live.
- What are you guys talking about?
Just work stuff.
Wow, look at that horse, buddy.
Monica doesn't know.
Pretty short sighted, considering
it's already in the
newspaper.
She don't read that.
Well, if you want to
talk about it later
What's there to talk about?
I think there's plenty
to talk about, son.
Gotta go.
You know where to find me.
Why were you guys talking in secrets?
I don't do that.
Secrets are like a callus on your heart.
What's a callus?
Feel that, right there.
That's hard.
That's a callus.
And every secret feels just like that.
Tell enough of them, and before long
your heart won't feel a thing.
Because she baited them into it!
Every hedge fund manager in
New York is shorting us now.
It doesn't matter if it's true!
The boulder is rolling down the hill
and I can't do anything to stop it.
Look, set a call with shareholders.
We need to start a buy back.
I know. I know
I fuck
I know.
We'll set the call, and
issue a tender offer at 75.
Once the price starts to turn,
start buying Schwartz and Meyer
shares in blocks of 25,000.
Once you hit half a million,
start reaching out to the funds.
We are squashing this bug today.
What in the
What now?
Just wanna shake your hand.
Thank you.
For what?
For protecting what's ours.
And for risking your life to do it.
Donny
Hi.
He never had that.
He had their respect.
He had their loyalty. But that
I don't even know what you call that.
I don't either.
Gratitude, I guess.
That shooting was justified.
My office won't question it.
Well, you should probably question it.
I'm just letting you know
what you're going to find out.
I need some advice, brother
If I can still call you that.
'Til the day you die, you better
never call me anything else.
There's an arms race
going on in this valley,
and the weapon is land.
Market Equities has a
forest service lease
on 12,000 acres to build a ski resort.
They have a lease agreement with the FAA
to build an international airport.
The Land they have earmarked
are pastures 12 through 32.
- Of our land.
- Our land.
There is a meeting with the governor,
myself, the land commission
and the board of Market
Equities next week.
Now, the fact that this
meeting is even set
means that Montana wants it.
I do have an offer from Market Equities
at ten thousand per acre.
There's fifty thousand acres
between those pastures.
It's half a billion dollars.
If we turn this offer down,
then the attorneys for Market Equities
are going to push the government
to seek eminent domain.
I will be recused from representing
the state because
It's our fucking land.
There is public need:
the jobs, the revenue
Is there any kind of a solution?
We sell it to them.
Right now, the ranch has enough money
to keep up with taxes and
operations for another year.
Maybe two.
Then we're selling anyway.
And you've explained all this to Dad?
Beth has poisoned me to him.
And if you explain it to him
The last thing he wants to
hear from me is numbers.
It has to come from Beth.
Can I see the offer?
Well, it was a verbal agreement.
I need to see it, Jamie.
She's not gonna believe it
unless she sees it on paper.
Even if it's coming from me.
Yeah.
Can you get me Willa Hayes
from Market Equities?
Broke down, huh?
Yeah, it's the radiator.
The hose, I think.
Don't have a spare, do you?
You gonna fix it all by yourself?
Do you have a spare?
Not for a Nissan I don't.
But I can give you a
ride up to Billings.
I'm headed that way.
Yeah, that would be great.
Climb in.
One sec.
We don't have a choice, Bob.
Bob, this is what you pay me for, okay?
So just fucking listen to me.
I need you to buy puts
at a strike of 185.
Okay? And do not stop.
Do you understand me? Do not stop.
Yeah, we have a charge on our stock.
Market Equities.
Can you get it out?
Thank you.
Do I look like I need a
fucking cup of coffee?
Oh, God, uh
Is that's all it takes to shake you?
You're fucking fired.
- I'm fired?
- Yes, you're fired.
Go fucking teach yoga,
you fucking pussy.
Sounds like you're having quite the day.
Yeah, you want make some money?
I love money.
All right, well, I'm telling you this
before the press release is out.
Market Equities is going for a run.
Well, that's not nice.
Where's your preferred?
I go after the common.
I don't take nibbles,
Beth. I take bites.
Well this is at 220, honey.
Let me make a few calls
and see who's hungry.
Just think, in a week
we could be partners.
Look at Market Watch.
The balls on this woman.
What's our number?
Down seven to sixty-four.
After I get this bitch fired,
we should hire her.
Attorney General Dutton of Montana.
How can I help you?
I can do that. Do you have an email?
I can have it drafted
and sent within an hour.
Thank you.
After we get to 150, dump it.
Every fucking share.
He priced right?
Yeah, right enough.
Well, you sure you won't
take him down the road?
It's been a while since we've done it.
Rest of the world is
forgetting we're here.
Time to remind them.
Thought I told you to run that
sorrel over to Steiner's.
No, no, no, I did. They didn't like him.
He didn't buck hard enough for them.
- Didn't buck hard enough?
- No.
He bucked hard enough for me.
Well, what do you want to do?
You want to put him through a sale?
No. He'll end up in a slaughterhouse.
Can't have him killed
just because he doesn't
want to be ridden.
Hell, I don't want to be ridden either.
All right, well, I'll figure it out.
That's it?
Hm?
Anything else you feel like discussing?
If you're joining the family, can you
please be the one person in it
who fuckin' talks to me?
I love her, sir.
I'll always take care of her.
That's why I said yes.
You know why, uh, people
don't come and talk to you?
'Cause they're scared they're
going to let you down.
I know I am.
Well, if you're marrying Beth,
you've already proved
you're not scared of anything.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That horse needs a home.
It just ain't mine.
- Go find him one.
- Yes, sir.
He doesn't mind that?
Hell, no. He loves it.
It's like fucking candy to him.
It helps their guts
Keeps 'em from getting
ulcers and from colicking.
The last one.
Jimmy, go hook up the trailer
and load up that sorrel, will you?
When you're done doing
what you're doing,
come out to the truck, Lloyd.
What for?
I want some company.
What're you doing?
There's a spot up here you
can get great cell service.
Figured you might want to call home.
Let them know you broke down.
I'd rather call from town.
Oh, no, no, it's just right up here.
Walk right up there,
we get great service.
All right, you go ahead
and I'll stay here.
Come on.
Come on.
Ah! Ah!
Don't!
Ah!
I'll never understand.
Just let it happen!
Monica.
- I'm fine. I'm fine!
- Monica.
Slow everything down.
The EMS is at the tactical center.
I'm having them come up.
You're a brave woman.
Thank you for not missing.
I wouldn't do that to you.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
Oh, shit.
They found remains.
People talk about making a difference.
But they don't.
Because they don't try.
They don't risk.
You risked. Everything.
And today you made a difference.
As rumors of an attempted takeover
of the investment firm,
Schwartz and Meyer sent
Wall Street into a frenzy,
running that stock up 110%
to 158 per share.
Market Equities Group CEO,
Willa Hayes, dismissed the rumor
and the stock plummeted down
to 26 percent below its open
Well, you win some, you lose some.
This is Bob Schwartz's assistant.
Mr. Schwartz is flying up to Bozeman
and would like to meet with
you tomorrow afternoon
at the Yellowstone Club. 3 p.m.
Can you confirm that time is acceptable?
Fuckin' A, lady.
Whatcha got there?
Wait, let me rephrase that
What did Jamie give you?
Thought you said you
wanted some company.
Mm-hmm.
What for?
We been driving for six hours
and you ain't said a fuckin' word.
Lloyd, I'm trying to choose my words.
Shit, shoulda been able to
write the fucking song by now.
You old softy.
Been kicking the shit
out of this Bloomer
ever since we left the ranch.
He deserves to have his last
trailer ride in style, Lloyd.
Easy, boy.
Didn't seem to like
living with us, did you?
And I gotta say: the feeling is mutual.
Hope you like it better here,
'cause you ain't welcome back.
I'm getting married.
Yeah, I've been wondering
what's up with you lately.
I need a best man.
Kayce's her brother.
- Fixin' to be yours.
- Hmm.
You should ask him.
Probably so. But I ain't.
I'm asking you.
They have your car ready.
They know how to replace
the hose, right?
I don't want to go through this again.
You'll have an escort to the ranch.
Don't need one an escort
to the ranch, just, um
Um
Would you like me to call Kayce?
Didn't tell him I was doing this.
And based on how today worked
out, I'm not sure how.
How did he tell you?
Tell me what?
It's no wonder we're married, huh?
We think exactly alike.
You ever wonder why there's
lézards in the mountains,
but nee snikes?
Uh No.
But I do wonder what
the fuck you just said.
But I always wonder that, so
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hold the fucking gator.
What?
You wanna go skinny dipping?
Skinny dipping?
You ain't wondering what
I said now, are ya?
- No, we got a whole fence to fix.
- Whoo!
Fence ain't goin' nowhere.
Come on, baby. Let's get naked.
This is a test.
Yeah, just a test. Yeah, okay.
Think with your big head.
The big head.
Fuck it.
Hell you looking at, fuckheads?
This ain't no free titty show.
What about the mouth on this one?
You scrub her behind her ears,
she might be worth a twirl.
You're on the wrong side of the fence.
Looks like the whole world
is on the wrong side of
the fence for you today.
You need to move on now.
Why don't you just go ahead
and get the fuck off our ranch?
Oh, it's your ranch now. Is it?
I want you to give John
Dutton a message for me.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
Yah!
Go!
Close the door, please.
Rough day?
How was your day?
Mine are all the same, baby.
Are they? All the same?
What goes through your mind
when you're lying to me?
You're protecting me?
From what? After all I've seen you do.
But I can't be angry because
that's why I lie to you.
- What did you lie about?
- What did you lie about?
I didn't want to tell you
because it's always the
same story with me.
I'm always in a position
where I need to kill or be killed.
Hell, it's my job now.
I don't want to say anything because
I don't want you to think I'm a bad man.
Even if I think it.
I don't want you to think
it because if you think it,
then it's true.
It's been your job since
I've met you, Kayce.
And I believe in my heart
that every man you killed
has made the world a safer place.
That's how I feel about
the man I killed.
I-I killed a man today.
That's not the glow of a blushing bride.
Oh, Dad
the blush was fucked
out of me years ago.
Jesus.
Baby, I love our man-to-man talks,
but we need to set some
goddamn boundaries here.
I can't unhear that, honey.
It was a metaphor, sort of
Look, I gotta show you something.
But before I do, I want you
to know this about me
I know you already know it,
but I got to say it again.
Everything I do is for you.
To please you.
To protect you.
And I can tell you what I think is best,
with data and facts and zero emotion,
but I will do whatever
it is you tell me to do.
Okay.
And you believe this
offer is legitimate?
They will wire ten percent
earnest money tomorrow
with a seven day close.
Now you're going to tell me
all the reasons I should do it.
I don't believe in should.
All I'll tell you is the
consequences of not doing it.
And all I ask is that you listen.
I'll listen, honey.
If you don't accept,
they will press the state
to condemn the land.
They will file a motion to recuse Jamie
from representing the state
because of his financial
interests in the ranch.
They will bring in outside counsel
and Jamie, and oh how much I hate him,
he is the litigator for the state,
and he will no longer
be available to us,
unless he resigns.
And even I can see the value
in having him in office at
this particular moment.
They will condemn this land
and they will pay you fifteen
cents on the dollar.
If that.
And what remains of the ranch
will be taken from you
in a similar fashion,
which doesn't really fucking matter
because the property taxes will
most likely erode your savings
within the next three to four years.
Now I can cover them for a couple more,
but in the end you're
just selling off land
to pay the taxes while making nothing.
So the cycle will continue
until the ranch is whittled down
to its least valuable parts.
Then you'll die,
and there will be no way for Kayce
and certainly not Tate
to make a living from it.
And just like that,
seven generations of our family legacy
will be carved into little ranchettes,
where people will spend the summer
wondering what this place looked like
before they got here when it was ours.
I don't doubt a word
you're saying, honey.
Not one.
But I
I can't sell it.
You wouldn't be selling the
ranch, Dad, just the land
Not an inch. Not one.
It's the last thing he asked me.
- There's gotta be another way.
- There isn't.
Nah, there's always another way.
Please don't let pride factor
into this decision, Dad.
It's just too big.
No pride, honey. It's just
I made a promise.
And I'd rather lose it than break it.
And he'd rather
He'd rather me lose it too.
I think I'm gonna turn in
for the evening, honey.
Okay.
Could we get a couple
Yellow Jackets, please.
Thank you.
- To your life with her.
- Cheers.
You're smiling.
Shut up, will ya?
Well, you know, you did something
that no one does, Rip.
You've outlived your past.
Maybe so, Lloyd. Maybe so.

I can have it drafted
and sent within an hour.
Thank you.
After we get to 150, dump it.
Every fucking share.
He priced right?
Yeah, right enough.
Well, you sure you won't
take him down the road?
It's been a while since we've done it.
Rest of the world is
forgetting we're here.
Time to remind them.
Thought I told you to run that
sorrel over to Steiner's.
No, no, no, I did. They didn't like him.
He didn't buck hard enough for them.
- Didn't buck hard enough?
- No.
He bucked hard enough for me.
Well, what do you want to do?
You want to put him through a sale?
No. He'll end up in a slaughterhouse.
Can't have him killed
just because he doesn't
want to be ridden.
Hell, I don't want to be ridden either.
All right, well, I'll figure it out.
That's it?
Hm?
Anything else you feel like discussing?
If you're joining the family, can you
please be the one person in it
who fuckin' talks to me?
I love her, sir.
I'll always take care of her.
That's why I said yes.
You know why, uh, people
don't come and talk to you?
'Cause they're scared they're
going to let you down.
I know I am.
Well, if you're marrying Beth,
you've already proved
you're not scared of anything.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That horse needs a home.
It just ain't mine.
- Go find him one.
- Yes, sir.
He doesn't mind that?
Hell, no. He loves it.
It's like fucking candy to him.
It helps their guts
Keeps 'em from getting
ulcers and from colicking.
The last one.
Jimmy, go hook up the trailer
and load up that sorrel, will you?
When you're done doing
what you're doing,
come out to the truck, Lloyd.
What for?
I want some company.
What're you doing?
There's a spot up here you
can get great cell service.
Figured you might want to call home.
Let them know you broke down.
I'd rather call from town.
Oh, no, no, it's just right up here.
Walk right up there,
we get great service.
All right, you go ahead
and I'll stay here.
Come on.
Come on.
Ah! Ah!
Don't!
Ah!
I'll never understand.
Just let it happen!
Monica.
- I'm fine. I'm fine!
- Monica.
Slow everything down.
The EMS is at the tactical center.
I'm having them come up.
You're a brave woman.
Thank you for not missing.
I wouldn't do that to you.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
Oh, shit.
They found remains.
People talk about making a difference.
But they don't.
Because they don't try.
They don't risk.
You risked. Everything.
And today you made a difference.
As rumors of an attempted takeover
of the investment firm,
Schwartz and Meyer sent
Wall Street into a frenzy,
running that stock up 110%
to 158 per share.
Market Equities Group CEO,
Willa Hayes, dismissed the rumor
and the stock plummeted down
to 26 percent below its open
Well, you win some, you lose some.
This is Bob Schwartz's assistant.
Mr. Schwartz is flying up to Bozeman
and would like to meet with
you tomorrow afternoon
at the Yellowstone Club. 3 p.m.
Can you confirm that time is acceptable?
Fuckin' A, lady.
Whatcha got there?
Wait, let me rephrase that
What did Jamie give you?
Thought you said you
wanted some company.
Mm-hmm.
What for?
We been driving for six hours
and you ain't said a fuckin' word.
Lloyd, I'm trying to choose my words.
Shit, shoulda been able to
write the fucking song by now.
You old softy.
Been kicking the shit
out of this Bloomer
ever since we left the ranch.
He deserves to have his last
trailer ride in style, Lloyd.
Easy, boy.
Didn't seem to like
living with us, did you?
And I gotta say: the feeling is mutual.
Hope you like it better here,
'cause you ain't welcome back.
I'm getting married.
Yeah, I've been wondering
what's up with you lately.
I need a best man.
Kayce's her brother.
- Fixin' to be yours.
- Hmm.
You should ask him.
Probably so. But I ain't.
I'm asking you.
They have your car ready.
They know how to replace
the hose, right?
I don't want to go through this again.
You'll have an escort to the ranch.
Don't need one an escort
to the ranch, just, um
Um
Would you like me to call Kayce?
Didn't tell him I was doing this.
And based on how today worked
out, I'm not sure how.
How did he tell you?
Tell me what?
It's no wonder we're married, huh?
We think exactly alike.
You ever wonder why there's
lézards in the mountains,
but nee snikes?
Uh No.
But I do wonder what
the fuck you just said.
But I always wonder that, so
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hold the fucking gator.
What?
You wanna go skinny dipping?
Skinny dipping?
You ain't wondering what
I said now, are ya?
- No, we got a whole fence to fix.
- Whoo!
Fence ain't goin' nowhere.
Come on, baby. Let's get naked.
This is a test.
Yeah, just a test. Yeah, okay.
Think with your big head.
The big head.
Fuck it.
Hell you looking at, fuckheads?
This ain't no free titty show.
What about the mouth on this one?
You scrub her behind her ears,
she might be worth a twirl.
You're on the wrong side of the fence.
Looks like the whole world
is on the wrong side of
the fence for you today.
You need to move on now.
Why don't you just go ahead
and get the fuck off our ranch?
Oh, it's your ranch now. Is it?
I want you to give John
Dutton a message for me.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
Yah!
Go!
Close the door, please.
Rough day?
How was your day?
Mine are all the same, baby.
Are they? All the same?
What goes through your mind
when you're lying to me?
You're protecting me?
From what? After all I've seen you do.
But I can't be angry because
that's why I lie to you.
- What did you lie about?
- What did you lie about?
I didn't want to tell you
because it's always the
same story with me.
I'm always in a position
where I need to kill or be killed.
Hell, it's my job now.
I don't want to say anything because
I don't want you to think I'm a bad man.
Even if I think it.
I don't want you to think
it because if you think it,
then it's true.
It's been your job since
I've met you, Kayce.
And I believe in my heart
that every man you killed
has made the world a safer place.
That's how I feel about
the man I killed.
I-I killed a man today.
That's not the glow of a blushing bride.
Oh, Dad
the blush was fucked
out of me years ago.
Jesus.
Baby, I love our man-to-man talks,
but we need to set some
goddamn boundaries here.
I can't unhear that, honey.
It was a metaphor, sort of
Look, I gotta show you something.
But before I do, I want you
to know this about me
I know you already know it,
but I got to say it again.
Everything I do is for you.
To please you.
To protect you.
And I can tell you what I think is best,
with data and facts and zero emotion,
but I will do whatever
it is you tell me to do.
Okay.
And you believe this
offer is legitimate?
They will wire ten percent
earnest money tomorrow
with a seven day close.
Now you're going to tell me
all the reasons I should do it.
I don't believe in should.
All I'll tell you is the
consequences of not doing it.
And all I ask is that you listen.
I'll listen, honey.
If you don't accept,
they will press the state
to condemn the land.
They will file a motion to recuse Jamie
from representing the state
because of his financial
interests in the ranch.
They will bring in outside counsel
and Jamie, and oh how much I hate him,
he is the litigator for the state,
and he will no longer
be available to us,
unless he resigns.
And even I can see the value
in having him in office at
this particular moment.
They will condemn this land
and they will pay you fifteen
cents on the dollar.
If that.
And what remains of the ranch
will be taken from you
in a similar fashion,
which doesn't really fucking matter
because the property taxes will
most likely erode your savings
within the next three to four years.
Now I can cover them for a couple more,
but in the end you're
just selling off land
to pay the taxes while making nothing.
So the cycle will continue
until the ranch is whittled down
to its least valuable parts.
Then you'll die,
and there will be no way for Kayce
and certainly not Tate
to make a living from it.
And just like that,
seven generations of our family legacy
will be carved into little ranchettes,
where people will spend the summer
wondering what this place looked like
before they got here when it was ours.
I don't doubt a word
you're saying, honey.
Not one.
But I
I can't sell it.
You wouldn't be selling the
ranch, Dad, just the land
Not an inch. Not one.
It's the last thing he asked me.
- There's gotta be another way.
- There isn't.
Nah, there's always another way.
Please don't let pride factor
into this decision, Dad.
It's just too big.
No pride, honey. It's just
I made a promise.
And I'd rather lose it than break it.
And he'd rather
He'd rather me lose it too.
I think I'm gonna turn in
for the evening, honey.
Okay.
Could we get a couple
Yellow Jackets, please.
Thank you.
- To your life with her.
- Cheers.
You're smiling.
Shut up, will ya?
Well, you know, you did something
that no one does, Rip.
You've outlived your past.
Maybe so, Lloyd. Maybe so.
