Yellowstone (2018) s03e10 Episode Script

You must've been really
drunk to do that.
Do what?
This.
Why in the hell would you do that?
It's kind of a long story.
I got time.
Oh, shit. No, I don't.
Get moving.
Laramie, let's
Seriously?
Hey, hey.
Laramie. Wake up. We're late. Let's go.
Gonna be a long day, Lloyd.
Didn't get much sleep.
If you're looking for a
connection to this place,
you're not gonna find it.
This is just a rental.
It's not a connection to this
place that I'm looking for.
Do I have any brothers?
Cousins? Sisters?
What are you trying to decide?
Who my family is.
Well, that's already been decided.
You got a couple cousins in east Montana
and a half brother somewhere
Your grandfather is holed up
in a nursing home in Fargo.
Bastard's nearly a hundred
and he is living proof that
only the good die young.
And there's me.
You know what I am.
And your mother
I remember I'd been out
long-hauling goddamn cattle.
I came home,
and I found you screaming
'cause you were fucking starving.
You had a hold of an old crack pipe
and you were sucking on the
tip of it like it was a nipple
in between screams.
And I found her bent over the sink
by some fat piece of shit
and I knew that you had
only one chance in life,
and that was without her in it.
So, I did what I did
I took her life and gave up mine.
For you.
Looking at you now, I would say that
it was probably the best choice
I could've made.
John Dutton may have raised you,
but did he love you, son?
Does he love you now?
He loves a goddamn ranch.
That's all he's ever loved.
You standing in my yard
tells me you already knew it.
I'm your family, son.
I'm the only one you got.
Everything that I worked for.
Everything that I thought I was
I'm going to lose.
I was raised to run that ranch.
I built it into what it is today.
Then run it.
It's not mine.
It's not for sale.
Not that I could afford it.
Nobody can afford Yellowstone.
Yellowstone ain't a ranch.
It's an empire. Empires you take.
I don't know how to do that.
Oh, it's the simplest thing on Earth.
You kill the king.
I'm not a killer.
You've never killed?
Yeah, you've killed.
Of course, you've killed.
You're a Randall.
And killing is our only gift.
Sorry.
Don't be sorry.
It takes time.
Guess I know what it's like
to be you now.
Yeah. In more ways than one.
You know, we moved to
the ranch to be with you
and now you're never here.
This, uh this livestock thing.
It's a full time job.
You like it, don't you?
I like having somebody to fight for.
Rather than some thing.
When you fight for a thing,
the thing doesn't care
if you win or lose
because the thing ain't alive.
But when you fight for
people, they care.
Yeah, that's what I like about it, too.
But I think a thing can care.
I think the land cares.
I know you do, baby.
That's what I love about you.
The U.S. will ban visas
for officials linked to the allegations
if they do not cooperate with the U.N.
Even with the global
slowdown that we're seeing,
it seems structural credit won't get hit
like it did last time in the recession.
What we're really concerned with
is high yield and leverage loans
Interest rates globally have
been in secular decline
for the past 25-plus years
Businesses around the globe are
looking for a way to get yields.
Now even with all that
said, the markets
Leave me a message
and I'll call you back.
Just checking in with you
'cause you haven't checked in with me.
The Fed dropping interest
rates for the second time
You know, your office has a balcony.
From the balcony I see the parking lot.
From the roof I see the reservation.
I like the view of the
parking lot better.
You know, you can wish we weren't
your people, but we are.
That's not what I wish.
What do you wish, Angela?
I wish I could go back in time
and tell our people to sell
every weapon they have.
Every horse.
Then take that money and go to New York
and hire the biggest
law firm in the city.
If I could do that,
we wouldn't be standing here.
We'd be standing at the
gates of Yellowstone
and still calling it home.
We'll stand there again.
Not with you, we won't.
There's no such thing as morality.
There's own the land and
there's lose the land.
That's all you'll be judged by.
Not how you do it.
Winners are never judged by "how".
They save that for the losers.
You had a long night.
Yeah.
Thank you, sweetie.
Who'd you kill?
Don't ask me that, Beth.
Who'd you kill?
What did I just say?
We don't get to do that anymore.
What's that?
Secrets.
We don't get those.
There's things I do,
and then there's things
that got to get done.
You don't want to know them.
It's not a secret, darling.
It's a favor.
How many?
Enough.
How many?
It's a big ranch, Beth.
And our enemies don't
fight fair, you know that.
How many?
I don't know. Honestly.
Don't pretend like you
don't know how we fight.
Oh, I know how you fight
I subscribe to Nietzsche's
thoughts on right and wrong.
Hmm?
He was a German philosopher
who died of syphilis
after he cornholed some prostitute,
so not exactly a life
to model yours after,
but his thoughts on right
and wrong, good and evil.
Which were: there's no such thing.
That, I believe.
I believe in loving with your whole soul
and destroying anything that
wants to kill what you love.
That's it.
That's all there is.
I believe in the same thing.
I take it back.
You can keep this secret.
Now if you'll excuse me
I gotta kill someone, too.
You ready for this?
They fucked with the wrong bull, Daddy.
Yes, they did.
I'll see you there.
That thing you wanted back. I got it.
Want me to put it some place?
Naw, I don't want it.
Just didn't want him to have it.
He's not gonna come
looking for it, is he?
No, sir.
That train only runs in one direction.
You find out who was holding his leash?
It's a guy by the name of Roarke.
I don't know who he is.
- Roarke.
- Mm-hmm.
Want me to start asking around?
No. No need.
When people lose their dogs,
they ask everyone if they've seen them.
- He'll show up soon enough.
- Yes, sir.
Let me know if you need anything.
What?
Well, it's nice to see a
plan work out for once.
I guess your plan did work out, Dad.
Well Not my plan. My
My dream, maybe, but Your plan.
Your plan for me, if you
want to get down to it.
All right, well, if you
want to get down to it,
it don't matter what my plan
was if it ain't your destiny.
I don't believe in destiny.
Yeah, right.
Even you aren't that naive.
Hey, Dad.
Have a good day.
I won't, son.
I believe I'm all out of those.
Come on, Laramie. Let's go.
I'm coming.
Keys.
- You have everything?
- Yeah.
Horses loaded?
Oh, yeah. Everything's done.
We're all set.
- What?
- Nothin'.
What?
Go ahead, why?
It's kind of hard to explain.
Yeah, I'd think so.
I can't make sense of it.
Walker has one, too.
But he could have his asshole on
his chest and I wouldn't care.
That is one fine son of a bitch.
Do you know what a brand means?
- Means I'm a part of something.
- No, that's not what it means.
You brand something
so that if it gets lost,
everyone knows who it belongs to.
That's why you do it.
- Hi.
- Good morning.
Once the entire party is
here, I will escort you in.
The entire party is here, I assure you.
We're still waiting on the governor.
You've got to be fucking kidding me.
Decided to start the day with
a little theater, did you?
Just a little.
It's good to see you again.
- Governor.
- Jamie.
Please, have a seat.
There's coffee, some orange juice,
and some assorted pastries over there
for anyone willing to brave gluten.
I, for one, am not afraid of gluten.
Could you make me a plate,
please, and some coffee?
Well, I say we just dive in.
Mrs. Hayes, would your
team like to start?
The forest service lease
has been secured.
FAA has approved both the
airport and runway plans.
The airlines have agreed
to finance the build
of their respective terminals.
Our leases with retail
vendors are in place,
which allows us to fund
the airport build
without using state funds,
which negates your requirement
to place the bond on the ballot,
- because we don't need the bond.
- Did you see this?
We just need
Mrs. Hayes, is there an issue?
Problem, Willa?
Take that, you fucking bitch.
Ellis?
Uh, I need to step out for a moment.
Roarke has the authority
to speak on our position.
Roarke. Which one is he?
That's me.
Once you put a name to this
face, you will never forget it.
No, I don't believe I will.
Now What this provides the state
is the added tax revenue from
the airport, from ticket sales,
car rentals, hotel taxes, fuel sales
and all with zero investment.
It's a perpetually renewable resource
that doesn't cost the state one dime.
Which brings us to you, Mr. Dutton.
The land most suitable
to the airport build
- is this tract.
-
If you're discussing purchasing
land from the Yellowstone,
you will need to discuss it with me.
Actually, you have to
discuss it with me.
I have power of attorney
over the estate.
If the estate were in Utah.
That's where you filed the documents.
The State of Montana does not
recognize power of attorney
issued by other states.
- The land is in Montana.
- Mm-hm.
But her authority is in Utah.
I mean, if she was an attorney,
she would know that.
As it stands, I am the legal authority
representing the Yellowstone,
and I approve the sale of that tract.
- The hell you will.
- Yes, I will, because if I don't,
the Land Commission will condemn it
and you will get paid one
tenth of what it's worth.
And you will also lose
millions on attorneys
because I cannot represent the ranch
and condemn it at the same time.
- Then don't condemn it.
- It's not my choice.
It's her choice.
It's your choice?
What do you choose, Lynelle?
There is no choice anymore, John.
There are only options.
Could I see the environmental
impact report?
The forest service report
is in your packet.
Not the forest service report.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife report
on the impact of an airport
beside the river that feeds
our oldest national park.
The one flowing beside
runway one, right there.
That will be the basis of our lawsuit,
in case anyone was curious.
It will be a class action suit
because it impacts native
land and park land.
We'll meet with attorneys
from the Greater Yellowstone Coalition,
Sierra Club, you know.
All the gang will be there.
Best of luck.
We stopped wolf hunting
for a fucking decade.
What do you think we're
going to do to an airport?
We don't need luck. See you in court.
That's your angle, too, John.
How does this impact your land?
Join our suit.
It won't cost you a cent.
You won't have to hire an attorney.
We'll do it for you.
A little curve ball
from the Reservation.
That land is mine.
And no one can sell it but me.
I'd say that as much as you
can: "that land is mine".
Get it all out of your system.
Lose your pets, Roarke?
Hmm?
Mm?
You think you're winning this game,
you don't even know the goddamn rules.
But don't worry,
I'm gonna teach them to you.
You don't say hello,
you don't say goodbye.
You got nothing to say to me, son?
He never has anything to say, Dad.
Oh, I have plenty to say, Beth.
Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm all fucking ears.
That's what I thought.
Well, I'd say we pulled the band aid.
Yeah. The, uh, lawsuits
are a concern, though.
We put a pipeline through
their reservation,
and we did it with the
Army Corps of Engineers.
They talk about being too big to fail,
they're talking about us.
Governor. Jamie.
Well
That must have been difficult.
Not really.
Well, one day he'll see.
I mean, he's gonna know
that you did this for him.
No, I didn't.
Not anymore.
From now on, what I do is for me.
Another great run for Brianna O'Barry
for a score of 15.885.
15.885 for Brianna O'Barry.
Oh, shit, I forgot my, uh,
Show Sheen in my groom bag.
- I can grab it.
- Hey, Jimmy, you all healed up?
Yeah, we're getting there.
When you gonna be back on the circuit?
Doc said I'm not supposed
to ride anymore. So
Shit, Jimmy. Doc has
told us all that before.
Here at Miner Creek Stampede,
we are approaching our go
time for the final horses
Are you quitting rodeo?
- Mr. Dutton told me I'm not supposed
- Mr. Dutton,
he's the one who stuck
you with that hot iron.
That Mr. Dutton?
I don't want to live the rest
of my life in a wheelchair.
Then don't.
Even if you do, come here. Turn around.
Give it hell, Amberley.
That's all I ever give it.
She's paralyzed from the waist down,
and she has whipped me more
times than I can remember.
When I saw you rodeo,
I saw a really happy man.
I saw a man who risked his
life to do what he loved.
And I fell in love with him.
Be that man and you can have me.
But be this one, and I'll see ya later.
Hey, I'm scared.
I'm fucking
I'm fucking scared.
Who ain't scared?
Hell, I'm scared every
time I run out there,
but I cowboy the fuck
up and I do it anyway.
If you're so desperate
to belong to something,
then belong to me,
and we can rodeo our way across
this whole damn country.
Belong to that.
But don't be one of
that rich man's cattle.
Okay.
Good.
Now go get my groom bag.
I look pretty good leaving, don't I?
Pretty good.
Naw, really good.
You have a window, you know.
A window to what?
In a room full of his enemies,
you look like his friend.
But you're not his friend.
No, I'm not.
You have an opportunity
to free that land of him.
And it will look like
everyone but you who did it.
I'm not a criminal.
It's only a crime by their laws.
By our laws,
which have outlasted
an ice age, it is duty.
To protect our land and
preserve our way of life.
It is religion.
Or did you buy into their religion
when you bought into their laws?
I will beat them with their own rules.
They make their rules to be broken.
The United States has broken
every rule it has ever made.
From its first treaty with France
to every treaty with us,
to their last treaty with Iran.
They only hold others to their rules.
They make war when they
want, where they want,
they take what they want,
then make rules that keep
you from taking it back.
They make rules for the slave
and they make rules for the masters.
You're following the slave rules.
But if you follow the masters' rules,
then you'll kill him, and
give us our land back.
You travel with a man
from a warrior clan,
but you do not let him make war.
You make him a slave, too.
Maybe you've heard enough
that you don't ask permission.
Maybe you go and make
war for our people.
And then we go home.
Chairmen of the Stockgrower's
Association are in your office.
- Which one?
- All of them.
- How you boys doing?
- Good.
Better, with you in office.
Oh, well
- Appreciate that.
- No, we appreciate it.
How can I help you?
Well, we're thinking maybe
maybe we can help you.
And help ourselves in the process.
Governor's termed out.
She's got two years left.
Time to decide who replaces her is now.
We're thinking that's
that's you, Kayce.
Hey, we're serious.
I ain't no politician.
You're damn right, you aren't.
You say what you mean
and you do what you say.
I'm not sure my brand of justice
is what this state wants.
It's exactly what this
state wants and needs.
Some bastard goes and
steals your cattle,
you don't punt it to the sheriff,
you just go over there and
shoot the son of a bitch.
I don't think that's much
of a campaign slogan.
Hell, son. You could print
"I killed a cattle thief" on t-shirts
and sell 'em in church.
Not anymore. Times have changed.
Maybe so. But Montana hasn't.
Bozeman, Missoula,
they don't decide the governor.
Great Falls decides. Dillon decides.
Miles City decides.
Those hippies will bitch and protest
and Twitter out bullshit about not
paying off their school loans,
but they won't vote.
They're not gonna stand in line
and put their money where their mouth is
when there's snow on the ski slopes.
They start holding elections
in May, we're fucked.
But until then, we decide
who runs this state.
Kayce, these things take time.
Time to plan. Think about it.
Governors don't have to stand
when people leave the room.
You just sit there and shake hands.
Take care.
When the board is ready,
we'll conference in,
but explain to them:
this is a hatchet job.
Okay, the caller isn't even an employee.
How can you know that?
The caller is anonymous.
'Cause she looked me in the fucking
eye and told me it was her!
Should have hired her
instead of firing her.
Can you give us a minute?
Okay.
- You need to start playing dirty.
- I've been playing dirty.
They play dirty right back.
They are playing a zero sum game,
they're doing it with my fucking career.
I will not have it.
Don't feel much like a land
deal in Montana, does it?
No. It feels like an oil deal in Yemen.
And from now on, that's how we treat it.
Can you do that?
I can do whatever you want.
Got a flat?
Yeah, I'm trying to call a tow truck,
but I don't have any signal.
You got a spare?
I don't know. It's a rental.
Let's open it and find out.
Guess how old I am.
Eight.
Not my first rodeo, son.
Look. You got the whole kit right here.
I I don't have any money.
I'm just saying I don't
have anything to give you.
Ma'am, where are you from?
Encino. That's in California.
I know where Encino is.
Out here, we do things 'cause
they're the right thing to do
and that's the only reason we need.
You wanna learn a life skill?
What's a life skill?
Well, it's something that'll
keep you from standing
on the side of the road
hoping for a phone signal.
Sounds handy.
And how
Well
Never thought I'd have
to do this for you again.
Yeah. Me neither.
How bad is she gonna look, Terry?
Well, it's hard to tell.
Depends on how good the embalmer was.
If he was good,
then, uh, she might look like
she did when we buried her.
But if he wasn't, then,
uh It could be bad.
Let's just hope Eddie did the embalming.
Yeah. Yeah, it was Eddie.
Hey, Mama.
I met somebody.
I'm gonna spend the rest
of my life with her.
I could have gone to some store
and bought her some fucking ring,
but what does that mean?
Shit, I'm sorry.
Shouldn't curse.
I want her to wear yours.
Maybe you can, uh
Maybe you can know her
a little too, somehow.
I don't know
I love you, Mama.
Thank you.
Hey. Come on. Come on.
Come on around.
All right there, right there.
You fall off the horse,
you just get back on.
Hmm?
Hey. Hey, come on.
Hey.
Don't like that, huh?
Just give me a couple good bucks
and I'll let it loose.
Come on.
Reports that attorneys for
Mr. Rueben are prepared
Do you want anything
from the supply room?
Yes. I want the pens,
the pencils, the paper,
the coffee, the creamer
we're taking everything. I want it all.
has confirmed that CEO Willa
Hayes will be placed on leave
until after an independent
investigation has been conducted.
Hayes was accused of what
is being called and I quote,
"workplace misconduct."
Miss Hayes and her lawyers
were unavailable for
any type of comment
Do you want this in your car?
- Oh, that's not mine.
- It's addressed to you.
Ever since the charges
surfaced earlier this morning.
The prominent investment firm is
currently trying to figure out
Weird. A box within a box.
Wait, I don't know
what that is. Don't
I'm not saying I'm gonna do it,
I was just telling you what they said.
Everything you've been doing
for the past three years
is something you said
you didn't want to do.
And now you just keep doing it.
Fine, I just won't tell you
what happens during my day
and the secrets can grow and grow.
Kayce! Kayce!
All right, now.
Go hand me them lug nuts.
I don't know where they are.
- Buddy.
- That was your only job.
I set them down when I pee'd.
Now we're getting somewhere.
Where'd you do that?
All right. Go hunt 'em up.
Thank you for helping.
Well, that's what people are
supposed to do, isn't it?
But they don't.
Some don't.
No.
We got it figured, thanks for stopping.
Hey, you're John Dutton, aren't you?
Yep.
Your call has been forwarded to
an automatic voice message
- Hello.
- Jamie, hey.
I can't find anybody.
Not Beth, not your dad,
not Kayce. Nobody.
Rip, I don't think you
should call me anymore.
Son of a bitch.
Hey!
Damn it, hey!
Get the fuck out of here!
Get the fuck out of here!
Go on, get!
Go on! Hey! Go! Hey!
Go on, get the fuck out of
here, you piece of shit.
Goddamn.
I hate shooting horses.
Easy, easy.
Easy, boy.
I'd rather kill a thousand men
than shoot another horse.
Now you can fucking eat him!
Whole fucking valley's dying today.
Shit.
Doesn't that fucking figure.
