Yellowstone (2018) s04e02 Episode Script

1
[MUSIC]
[PANTING]
Whoa.
[GRUNTS]
Ah.
Oh.
Just making sure I didn't spring a leak.
You know, there's a decent chance
I'm gonna come unstitched
and fall in a dozen pieces on
the ground right in front of you.
Just letting you know in
advance it ain't your fault.
[GROANS]
Lord.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Here we go.
[ENGINE STARTS]
What in the
Oh, goddam it.
Are you trying to die?
What in the hell are you doing?
Well, the doctor said soak
in a warm bath twice a day.
I think he meant in a tub,
not on the top of a mountain.
And you're not supposed
to be riding, either.
He said "no driving."
Never mentioned nothing about horses.
Well, I promise you horses
are on the list of things
that you shouldn't drive.
You got shot. You're on a horse.
I only got shot twice
Well, then you win the
getting-shot-least award, Kayce.
I don't know what to tell you.
No one ever got well
sitting in a fucking bed.
One thing I know about life:
when you stop moving, it's over.
So if riding back from
here kills me, so be it.
So, you can go on home, sonny.
I'll come back when I'm
goddam good and ready,
and if I don't, you just bury
me where you find me.
I ain't going nowhere.
And if you die on the ride home,
I'll bury you next to Lee and
then I'll sit on your grave
and I'll tell you 'I told you so.'
All right, that's a deal.
Oh.
Ahh.
Damn, that feels good.
[LAUGHS]
People been coming to heal
here for 15,000 years.
Damn right, it feels good.
You know what I think?
I think God or nature or
whatever you want to call it,
gave us all these places,
these herbs, these minerals,
this this mud,
all these things to fix
what happens to us
'cause God knew what a fucking
wreck we'd make of ourself.
Beth thinks it was Jamie.
Yeah, I know she does.
What do you think?
I think if even Jamie wanted
to hire the militia,
they'd never do it for him.
They did it for themselves.
It's what we did to them.
You know, he didn't sell
that land for the airport,
he leased it to 'em.
He did that to keep the ranch together.
And he did that for you.
Killers don't seek their
victims' approval.
So you think they did it on their own.
I do.
How many are in that militia?
About half as many as there used to be.
That's a half too many,
if you know what I mean.
Yeah. I agree.
Use Jamie for the warrants. [SNIFFS]
We'll learn real quick where he stands.
You're a good man, Kayce.
But sometimes good men
have to do real bad things.
Doesn't change who you are.
I just want to be really clear
about what you're asking.
I ain't asking anything.
I'm telling ya we're gonna kill 'em.
We're gonna kill every
goddamn one of 'em.
[MUSIC]
How many acres?
A thousand under this fence.
Another section across the highway.
Warm Creek runs through
the back of this parcel,
and you got river on the other side,
so there's water for
your stock year-round.
Doesn't freeze in the winter?
They call it Warm Creek for a reason.
The fences look good.
Got a brand new set of
Priefert pens down there.
The Cattle are fat as ticks.
And it all goes with the sale:
the pens, the cattle,
the tractor, the furniture,
the plates in the cupboards, all of it.
Why are they selling?
Owner died. Left it to his kids.
One kid wants to keep it, one doesn't.
One can't afford to buy the
other out, you know the deal.
Horses and cattle may be
how the West was won,
but death and taxes is
how we're gonna lose it.
No doubt about that.
What do you think?
Run pairs across the
road, hay this side.
You'll make money every year.
Gonna have to buy some horses.
Well, don't waste your
time with horses, son.
A Kawasaki Mule and a few good
border collies is all you need.
A ranch without horses is
All them Kawasakis eat is a little gas.
They don't get sick and
they don't buck you off.
[LAUGHS]
Everything conveys?
If you pay the asking
price, it all conveys.
It's time you grew your own shadow, son,
and you stop living in someone else's.
Write up the offer.
I heard Yellowstone was breaking up,
but here you are buying more.
That's what I get for listening
to the buzzards at the diner.
I'm not buying this for the Yellowstone.
I'm buying this for me.
[BEEPING]
Hank!
- What is that?
- Don't know.
Watch out.
- Buffalo?
- Yeah.
It's got painting on it.
- Huh?
- Ho-ho, hey, ha!
- Look at this!
- Damn.
- Oh, shit.
- Hold up.
Hold up. Get up on out of there.
We need to call this in.
She's in the FBO.
You're late.
Your flight was early.
I am never early. And I am never late.
I am the constant your time adjusts to.
Apologies.
What a fucking mess, Ellis.
Agreed. It's gotten complicated.
It's going to get real simple real fast.
Get my bag.
Talk to me about relics.
The procedure is to notify
the county coroner
as well as an archeological team,
and the Native American
Heritage Commission
And this will halt our construction.
- Yes.
- Until?
Until the coroner establishes
a date of the remains
and the archeologist removes
all artifacts from the area.
How long will that take?
Depends on whether a university
will provide funding
or the state must ask
the assembly for funds.
Explosions and ambushes
in broad daylight.
Educate me on exactly on what
the fuck I'm stepping into.
The violence against the Duttons
is unrelated to our conflict with them.
You really believe that?
Willa's mistake, and your mistake
was trying to intimidate people
who'd blow up a building
at 3 o'clock on a Friday.
This land is all they have.
Living in Montana is just
poverty with a view.
You threatened to take that view.
From now on, we stop stoking their fears
and feed their greed.
Yes, ma'am.
How long before Mr. Rainwater
files a lawsuit to stop our build?
I expect a subpoena by
the end of the week.
We'll start with him, then.
Uh, Mr. Rainwater has been
unwilling to negotiate.
Unwilling to negotiate with you.
[DRUMS, NATIVE CHANTING]
[NO DIALOG]
Who the hell's this?
Let's find out.
Really puts on a show, doesn't he?
Chairman Rainwater, I'm Caroline Warner,
I chair Market Equity's
Board of Directors.
One leader falls and another rises.
I'd hardly call this news.
Well, they seem to think it's news.
Just because someone died here
doesn't make the land sacred.
Argue it just like that before
a circuit court, would you?
I don't want to argue anything.
Would you walk with me?
I have a proposal.
I'm all ears.
We rescind the cease and desist order.
You're free to resume building.
We can't secure our loan
without a guarantee
that you won't file another.
We'll fund the build for you.
Why would you do that?
So we have influence over what
you build, and who it caters to.
A casino at the center
of this development
brings an element to this
community people don't want.
Are you suggesting that
we don't build a casino?
I'm suggesting you build a casino
that caters to the people
who can afford to live here.
Five star accommodations,
Michelin-rated restaurants,
world class entertainment.
Build a casino that is a
destination unto itself.
I'm talking about people
from across the world.
Flying in here to ski here at
the finest resort in the world.
Spending a thousand dollars
a night at your hotel,
another thousand for dinner,
another thousand for
tickets to see Elton John,
before they drop twenty-five thousand
at your blackjack table.
Build that casino, and we
will fund your project,
and make your reservation
the richest in the nation.
In exchange for what?
Stop holding up the thing that
will deliver your customers.
I'll have a contract drawn
up by the end of the week.
I look forward to seeing it.
Watch out for the elk scat.
I cannot wait to pave this place over.
So what did she say?
She offered me something
that's too good to be true.
Then it isn't.
[HEY DELILAH BY
BLACKBERRY SMOKE PLAYING]
Hey Delilah ♪
You got the power over me ♪
All bound up in your
shackles and chains ♪
Goddamn, I love when
Travis comes to the ranch.
We work both those reds,
mine and the baldy.
You're from where? Texarkana?
- Yeah, Texarkana.
- Which side of the river?
- North.
- That is not Texas,
that is fucking Arkansas. Don't
tell people you're from Texas.
- Whatever you say, sir.
- Don't you fucking do it.
Hey, brother, congratulations
on that derby win.
- Thank you, brother.
- That's a hell of a horse.
When you gonna show him next?
- I sold his ass at the back gate.
- You sold that horse?
You out of your fucking mind, Travis?
Brother, my goal is to
leave every horse show
with an empty trailer.
Had Andy Masci make you something.
Oh, yeah? What's that for?
Little wedding present.
How'd you figure that out, motherfucker?
I'm a horse trainer, brother.
When a woman goes off the
market, I get a fucking email.
Tammy Joe! Bring him.
What's this horse?
Oh, shit. This is that Dual Rey
Geoffrey Sheehan was showing.
Hey, Arkansas, you study
real hard in school,
and save your allowance,
one day you might get a horse like this.
But I doubt it.
Teeter, come grab these horses.
Did Doc say it's okay
for you to be riding?
Yeah, well, I didn't ask.
Whoa.
Goddam, he gets the
livestock, doesn't he?
Yeah.
What are you all shopping for?
Legacy.
Look at the King Ranch down in Texas.
825,000 acres.
The land around there is so thick
with oil you stab the damn ground
with a shovel and you find it.
How is that ranch still
there, that's the
[LAUGHS] that's the question.
Yeah, you'd think some big oil company
would have bought it up by now.
Well, that's 'cause they
got ahead of it, you know?
Started their own oil company
before one could get to 'em.
Their own breed of cattle,
hell, their own breed of horses,
not a damn horse in that arena
you can't trace back to the King.
They made such a name for themselves
you can buy a damn truck
with their brand on the seat.
That's what we're going to do.
[SNIFFS]
Outside this valley, who
knows we're even here?
I'm gonna let the world know we're here.
Thinking of putting Travis on the road.
You know him best, what do you think?
I mean, that fucker doesn't
do anything but win, sir.
Can we trust him?
[LAUGHS] I mean he puts the
"whore" in horse trainer, Kayce.
But if he's riding for the Y,
he'll be true to it.
But mind you, he will
fuck everyone else, sir.
I mean everybody.
Hey, John.
- How's he priced?
- Through the roof.
Well, what if, uh
What if I was to put him
on the road with you,
then what does he cost?
Well, the cost is the same, but
he'll pay you back in a year.
I'll take him. Now show me more.
How many more? How big you want in?
When people think of horses,
I want them to think of the Yellowstone.
John, look, you know
this deal, all right?
There's no money in the oak.
All the money's in the acorn.
So, let me go find you a stud,
give me three years
Don't have three years.
Just get me in now.
Find me acorns on the way
to that winner's circle.
All right. You want cutters?
- I want all three.
- John
That's going to cost a lot of money.
All right? It's gonna take a
few million to do that right.
Well can you win it back?
You know what we should do?
If we're gonna do this right,
then let me do it right.
Let me build you a team. All right?
I'll get you the best of
the best in all three,
and I will stack checks on your desk
thick as a fucking phone book.
Do it.
All right. I'll start making calls.
We can't afford to do this.
Yeah, well, we can't afford not to, son.
Not anymore.
Oh, now you show me respect?
- Don't bother.
- Let's keep this civil, shall we, Beth?
Civil, you fucking coward?
I burned for you, Bob.
And when I say "burned" I mean it.
Care for a drink?
Uh, double Tito's, three olives.
- You mean a martini?
- No,
martinis have vermouth and
are enjoyed with friends.
I don't like vermouth and
these aren't my friends.
So
What are we talking about?
Your severance package.
[LAUGHS]
You fucking vultures.
Here's an idea: don't
honor the contract,
and see what I do next.
We aren't concerned with the pay out.
We are concerned with the parameters.
In particular, the non-compete clause
and the non-disclosure agreement.
Yeah, that should concern you.
You have a history of
malicious intent
Oh, you have no idea, buddy.
I doubt they can shrivel any more,
but it was worth a shot.
I made you a fortune.
A fortune.
And when my family was in the
fight of its life, you quit me.
Here's what I recommend, Bob: retire.
Retire before I take everything
you fucking have.
Schwartz and Meyer owns half the land
on the north side of the Yellowstone.
You shouldn't pick a fight
with the bigger bear, Beth.
You co-own the land, Bob.
You gotta read the fine print, Bob.
I'm the bigger bear.
Great. Let's try the right hand, now.
Better today.
That's really good, Jimmy.
All right. Now for the tough stuff.
Great.
Back down.
Up.
- How many are we doing?
- Ten.
[GRUNTS]
Can't we just fucking walk?
Walking doesn't work the muscles
we need worked, Jimmy.
You're getting so much better, baby.
All right.
I'm really encouraged by the scans.
You're making good progress in PT.
I think we've reached that point, Jimmy.
What point?
Your movement must be
restricted to physical therapy.
You can go to the bathroom,
you can walk from one room to the next,
but any physical exertion
must be supervised.
And the thoracic brace
stays on 24 hours a day.
Two most dangerous places for
you: the stairs and the bathroom.
A slip in the shower, we're right
back to square one or worse.
- Got it?
- We got it.
Discharge will take a couple of hours.
Oh, I let the ranch know in the hopes
they could arrange a ramp,
and what-do-you-know, the
bunkhouse already has one.
That's how dangerous your job is.
You need to think about that.
You called the ranch?
Who did you talk to? What did they say?
Said they were sending a car.
What's the matter, baby?
Why aren't you happy?
Need to show you something.
- Me?
- Yep.
This boy any relation to you?
- What did he do?
- Tried to rob a convenience store
with a screwdriver.
You can see how that worked out for him.
What are you going to do with him?
Well, I was going to
put him in foster care,
but he, uh he claims
that you're his guardian.
I'm his what?
That's what he says.
No bullshit, what are his odds?
Odds on what?
A future.
That's his future.
The world's lucky if it's drugs
that send him to prison
and not murder or something worse.
Look, it's a horrible thing to say,
but the best thing for this world
is if he goes to sleep tonight
and doesn't wake up tomorrow morning.
- Hello, dear.
- Hello, darling.
- I made dinner.
- Dinner, huh?
Dinner.
Thank you. What did you make?
Hamburger Helper.
You didn't have any hamburger,
so I used tuna.
So Tuna Helper.
You put tuna in the Hamburger Helper
Why not just use the
Tuna Helper, darling?
They make tuna helper?
You know what, let's just
go into town, get a bite.
- What do you say?
- You should try it.
Might surprise you.
The kid sure likes it.
The kid?
Mm-hmm.
What kid, Beth?
I think he might be our kid, baby.
Who the fuck are you?
My name's
You know what? Shut up. Just shut up.
Who is that?
You, twenty years ago.
With the same options that you had.
Look, he doesn't have to be here.
It's your decision, but
you're the one that's got to tell him.
I gotta tell him? All right.
Boy. Get your shit and
get out of my house.
Let's go.
Sorry, kid.
We gave it our best shot.
I don't know where to go.
You got four choices. Pick a direction.
Fucking son of a bitch.
You went to plan B pretty quick.
What's plan B?
Wait until everybody goes to sleep,
rob every car and truck on the ranch,
- like a little raccoon.
- Don't you have it all figured out.
Come here, you little shit.
Damn it.
Go on.
Go lay on that couch and
you don't fucking move.
I'll just rob you when you're sleeping.
[LAUGHS] I ain't sleeping.
I'm gonna sit in that
chair until the morning
and then I'm going to
run your ass into town.
Can he at least finish
whatever we're calling this?
- Please.
- Sure, why not. Here.
Here you go.
Eat up.
Oof.
What an appetite, huh?
Well, I'm pooped. Gonna head up.
Goodnight, kid.
Boy, you sure out-kicked
your coverage with that one.
All right, you little shit.
Come on, I got a place for you.
Come on, get up.
Hey. Easy, or you're going to get hurt.
Bed, water.
Good night.
What about a bathroom?
Here you go.
Get up. Let's go.
That'll be the last
fucking thing you do.
You can drop me off anywhere.
You don't have to take me into town.
What, so you can rob
somebody else's ranch?
No, your ass is going to town.
All I asked for was a chance.
No, you didn't ask for shit.
You puppy dogged my
lady and she asked me.
And the answer's no.
You don't get a chance.
Ain't that the fucking truth.
Fuck you.
Get out of my truck.
Get the fuck out. Get out of here.
Word of advice? Rob a
second home, not a ranch.
Maybe you won't get fucking shot.
Fuck you, asshole.
Shit.
Come on!
Come on, motherfucker!
Life doesn't give people
like you chances, kid,
if you haven't noticed
and asking for one is a
waste of goddamn time.
So I'm supposed to just
take what I get in life?
Get raped in a foster home?
I've been down that road.
I ain't never going back.
Ask me for something else.
Like what?
Like a job.
Can I have a job?
Can you ride?
No.
Can you rope?
No.
[SIGHS]
You see that bag in the field?
Go ahead and take your backpack off.
I want you to run out there and
I want you to grab it for me.
And just bring it back. Go ahead.
There'll be no stealing,
you understand me?
If I catch you stealing,
you are fucking gone.
You hear me?
Yeah.
All right, come on.
[GRUNTS]
[MUSIC]
So, I got Jake on this
Metallic Cat colt.
I want you to buy and put down the road.
Hey, I tell you what,
I don't know how big a name
you're trying to make,
but you oughta let me call Bobby Patton
and see if he'll sell you
a share of Metallic.
'Cause that would make a splash.
When you jump in the
pool for me, Travis,
you do a cannonball.
I'll do it. Cannonball it is.
Hey, that, uh, bald-faced cow?
The one with the white
belly's good, Corey?
[COW LOWS]
Who's this?
That there is the new stall cleaner.
Looks a little young to
be going on the payroll.
No, he don't go on the payroll.
He's like me, sir.
What's your name?
Carter, but everyone calls me Chubby.
Don't look chubby to me.
Was when I was a baby, I guess.
It's what my dad called
me. Sorta just stuck.
Where's your dad now?
Polluting the dirt they buried him in.
[CHUCKLES]
Shit.
- Just like you, huh?
- Yes, sir.
Go stand over there a minute, would you?
What in the world this your idea?
No, sir, it's your daughter's.
You okay with this?
Maybe.
- I said maybe.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I got it.
Come on.
- What did he say?
- Maybe.
- What does that mean?
- Mean's fucking maybe.
Wet shavings and manure
goes in this wheelbarrow.
I want you to dump it out there.
It's a big old pile, you can't miss.
Wait, what about the horses?
What about them?
I gotta walk in there with them?
No, I want you to rappel
from the fucking ceiling.
Come here.
You walk in there with the horse.
You clean up the shit,
and then you close the door.
It ain't fucking rocket science.
Now, let's get to it.
Boss is going to want to talk to you.
Hang out here somewhere.
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
Got it?
- Thanks.
- Yeah, be careful.
- You get the door?
- Mm-hmm.
MAN: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Jimmy's back, sir.
- Hmm?
Jimmy's back.
- Is that the word?
- Mm-hmm.
We'll be back.
- Okay.
- All right. Good job.
Boy, he sure got lucky
when he found you.
No, I'm the lucky one.
No, honey. You aren't.
Can you give us a minute?
How do you feel?
It's weird.
I don't have any feeling
in the tips of my fingers,
but they still hurt.
I don't know how I can't feel them
and they hurt at the
same time, you know?
My grandfather lost his leg.
Said the worst pain he
ever felt was in his toes
after his leg was gone.
Phantom pain, they call it.
Yeah. I guess that's what I got.
You broke your word to me, Jimmy.
I'm sorry. [CHUCKLES]
You broke your word.
I'm sorry, sir.
Tell you what, you know I'm so
I'm so goddamn tired of being right.
I told you this would happen.
And what did I say next
Look, please don't fire me, sir.
All right, I can still be useful.
- There's all sorts
- How? How can you be useful?
You can't ride. You can't lift anything.
But in a few months you will
and you'll think you have
cheating fate all figured out
and you'll do it again and
I won't watch it happen.
- Please.
- Please?
- Mr. Dutton, please.
- Please what?
What do you think I'm going to do?
Kick you off the ranch?
I made a promise to your grandfather,
and unlike you, I keep my word.
But I'm done trying to make
a man out of you, Jimmy.
I'm leaving that to someone else.
Who?
It's the last favor I call in for you.
You screw this up, and
you're on your own.
Get you packed up, Jimmy.
Where am I going?
Travis is pulling out of here
tomorrow, you're going with him.
Where?
Where cowboying was invented.
And if those boys can't
make one out of you,
you weren't meant to be one.
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
It wasn't my decision.
Nah, nah, nah. Close the stall.
I'm going to teach you a trick
so that you don't blow this opportunity.
Don't think that you deserve it.
You don't deserve it.
And you never will.
You don't deserve it?
No one deserves it.
All right. Come on.
Every time I turn around the
man's trying to get me down ♪
And I came to see your face ♪
Jimmy, you look like you need a beer.
- Can he even drink?
- He shouldn't drink.
All right, whatever. More for us.
Did you guys see those
fucking horses today?
Goddamn, what I'd give to ride
one of those sons of bitches.
Get your ass dashboarded
right into the dirt.
Bullshit! Fuck you, coming from a guy
who could get bucked
off by a fucking seesaw.
I heard riding and I heard
fucking. What are we doing?
- All right. Come here, let's go.
- Play cards?
You wanna lose?
Big, small is auto in to you.
Hey, Lloyd? Got any requests?
Okay, we'll go auto in on the turn.
Well, I guess I'll pick.
Check is in the mail.
I've been a-wasting my time ♪
Hell, I don't need no more rain ♪
TEETER: I put it one beefy stick.
I've been-a-gone for so long ♪
I think the devil lost my name ♪
The blood drips from my nose ♪
And the highway's killing time ♪
This here goodly six string ♪
Well, it eases my mind ♪
[DOOR SHUTS]
Sit down right there.
Well, look who's back.
I was pretty certain that
you'd dropped him off
- on the highway somewhere.
- Oh, I did, honey.
Smells good in here.
Here.
Hamburger Helper.
Made with hamburger this time.
This looks good, sweetie.
Yeah, I think I got this whole
cooking thing figured out.
Oh, yeah? Let me see.
RIP: Mmm.
That's good.
What?
Nothing.
This, uh this makes
you happy, don't it?
It does.
Want to know why?
'Cause you got a mean streak
like a fucking badger.
- [GIGGLES]
- [GIGGLES]
Here, have some more.
[GRUNTS]
[CLICKS TONGUE]
Oh, shit.
I'm in trouble.
Already?
What did you do?
Rip told me to be the first to the barn.
- And I'm not.
- Well, I don't count.
Not working. This is, uh
physical therapy.
That's right, you got shot.
- Yep.
- Bet that smarts.
Don't recommend it.
Why don't you get up here
and open this door for me?
[GROANS]
- Where you going?
- Don't know. Just going.
You were the first one here.
- No, not really.
- No, sir, you were the first.
That's a good sign. You keep it up.
Rip told me the trick.
Yeah?
Never think I deserve it.
[LAUGHS]
Yeah, well
No one deserves it.
But you try to anyway.
- That's what he said.
- Yeah.
Well, if I don't come back,
you send out the search party.
Where do I send 'em?
Don't know where you're going.
Guess they'll have to earn
the title, then, huh?
