[PHONE RINGS]
Yes, sir.
All right, Doc, I'll tell him.
Thank you, bye.
Jimmy, Doc wants you at headquarters.
- Morning, sir.
- Morning.
How's he working out?
He does his job and shuts his
mouth, for the most part.
Yeah.
You iron things out with Beth?
I'm afraid that ship's
already sailed, sir.
Yeah? You'd better start
swimming after it.
She's the reason you're here, big fella.
[MUSIC]
Tate?
Tate?
Tate?
Tate!
[THUNDER]
[MUSIC]
[CHUCKLES]
He's sniffing at those deer tracks.
Yeah, looks like it.
Here, let me show you something.
See how this front track here
- is deeper on the outside there?
- Yeah.
Means it was looking back
over its left shoulder.
You like to track, huh?
Might have a job for you.
You should probably name him
before you put him to work.
I don't know.
"Dog" seems to be working out just fine.
You busy today?
Depends on how quick
we find those horses.
If we find 'em at all.
Ah, so you're working
for miss pouty lips.
I'm working for the
state of Montana, baby.
Same as every other day.
Fine.
I'll just work cases for ugly
women from here on out.
Oh, so you think she's pretty?
Walked right into that one, Dad.
[KAYCE CLEARS THROAT]
We need to name the dog.
Dad just wants to call him "Dog."
- And I think that sucks pickled ass.
- Hey. Not at the table.
Not anywhere for that matter.
He's your son, I swear.
- I'm not done.
- You're done now.
You owe me one.
You're one of those, huh?
One of what?
The kind of man who uses
flowers to say "I'm sorry"
because he doesn't have
the balls to say it himself.
I don't want those fucking things.
[TYPING]
I need a ride into town.
Would you give me one?
What do you need in town?
This ain't a life.
Cleaning up horse shit,
sleeping in a barn
I don't have any friends.
Not even you.
I'll take my chances in foster care.
You're 14, kid.
In four years the world
says that you're a man.
But you're not, that's what it says.
What becomes of you then?
I don't know.
What do you want to become?
What's your dream?
Don't have any dreams.
No?
I'm too busy trying to figure out
what I'm gonna eat and
where I'm gonna sleep.
Dreams
Come here.
You do what I ask the way I say do it.
You ask questions when
you don't understand.
You ask questions when
you do understand.
Never lie to me.
[MUSIC]
Can you make that promise and keep it?
I can keep it.
Shake on it.
If I don't give you flowers
when I'm sorry,
when do I give 'em?
You give 'em for no reason, buddy.
No reason at all.
[MUSIC]
You Jimmy?
Uh, yes, ma'am.
Open that for me.
[GRUNTS]
[HORSE WHINNIES]
Is this some kind of exercise room?
[CHUCKLES] Sort of.
- All right, get ready.
- Ready for what?
Put this sleeve over
his penis and hold it.
- What?
- Go, now! Do it!
All right, you got to hold it there.
Got to get it all. Hold it there.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
[GRUNTING]
Okay, remove it.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
I just jacked off a horse.
Get used to it. We've got
fifteen more to collect.
All right, bring that into
the lab. That door there.
Just jacked off a horse.
[EMILY CHUCKLES]
[MUSIC]
Look at this.
You like this one?
You like that one?
Boo!
He's going to be a good father.
That's questionable
considering who taught him.
I'm teaching him now.
You know, most people, they end
up making the same mistakes
their parents made because, you
know, they were still children
when they had children.
I know I was
Jamie's endured 40 long years
learning how not to father,
how not to lead.
Hard lessons both, but he learned them.
He does seems different.
More like the man I wanted him to be.
I have a favor to ask.
Look, I'm here.
I just
I'm gonna need some time
before I trust him again.
Do you trust him to
be a good politician?
I never doubted him as a politician.
How 'bout a governor?
The election's a ways off, but
these things need planning,
don't they? I mean
Relationships beyond district
attorneys and cattlemen.
What kind of relationship do you have?
Anyway, that's the favor.
What do you see?
Well, he looks like a governor.
Yes, he does.
Hello.
- Who are you here to see?
- Not here to see a who.
Here to see a thing.
What thing?
My office.
Miss Dutton.
- Winner winner turkey dinner.
- [CHUCKLES]
Right this way.
[PHONES RINGING]
It's the corner office right down here.
This is Miss Dutton.
It's a pleasure to finally
[SIGHS]
[KNOCKING]
- All this shit has to go.
- Ma'am?
I feel like I'm in my fucking
gynecologist's office.
- I'll get the design team to
- Nope. I'll do it myself.
What's your name?
Cal.
Where you from, Cal?
Let me guess: Menlo Park.
Palo Alto, right next to it.
How'd you guess that?
I just read the tea leaves, buddy.
Ooh, um, there's no
smoking in the, uh
It's probably fine.
How long you been
boinking the receptionist?
Ma'am?
You know how that's gonna end, dontcha?
Hmm? So here's the thing:
I need my assistants
to put all their efforts into
not being pussies, okay?
I do not need them chasing it.
You want me to break up with her?
I want you to find another job.
I'm 0 for three with assistants anyway.
Turns out working for me is
pretty fucking dangerous.
Okay. I'm-I'm
I'm not really sure what you're asking.
I'm not asking you anything, Cal.
I'm firing you. Get the
fuck out of my office.
I'll get my own coffee.
- Hey, Cal?
- Yeah.
- Shut my fucking door.
- Yep.
All right.
[SIGHS]
Not looking too fired, Cal.
Phase one is white.
Phase two, green.
Phase three, blue.
Phase four, yellow.
Now, you'll notice in phase one,
we lay infrastructure
for all following phases.
So, you're laying in roadways,
electric, sewage for all
phases in phase one?
In the long term, it's much
more cost effective.
Laying infrastructure in
phases triples the cost.
Kyle, this makes assumptions
about land ownership
- that we can't make.
- Uh, not the time or the place.
This is a design meeting.
Can I see an ownership plat over this?
It's not relevant at this time.
Well, if you're building
roads and sewers on land
that you don't own, I'd say
it's pretty fucking relevant.
Well, I guess we're going to find
out who you're loyal to, Beth.
No one mentioned this to me.
Beth, there are two terminals.
That's fifty-two gates.
- You saw the airport design.
- Yes.
So who did you think
those gates were for?
Hmm?
You said it yourself, you'd
turn it into Park City.
Well, this is Park City.
[COWS LOWING]
["DON'T GO LOOKIN'"
BY JACKSON DEAN PLAYS]
Get ready to push. Push.
- Ha, ha! Ha!
- Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Steer.
Steer, steer!
Show them how it's done,
would you, Scout?
Two of them coming,
- both heifers.
- Hey!
- Hey! Hey, hey, hey!
- Heifer, heifer, heifer!
[SHOUTING]
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Watch Mama here.
[COW LOWS]
- Let's do it.
- Keep going.
- Boss man's got steer.
- Keep going.
Watch your coke.
Ha!
[SHOUTING]
Let's snake those three there, huh?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
I count 81.
That's what I got, too, sir.
- My count's 81.
- Yep.
Yep, 81 it is.
- Get 'em to the sale, Rip.
- All right.
I'll start looking through
the rest of these heifers.
Thanks, Jack.
How are the boys?
[CHUCKLES]
They're sore as shit. I'm gonna give
them a few days to sleep it off.
Man.
- Guess he's done sleeping.
- Mm-hmm.
Where y'all need me?
Start sorting heifers.
Could I have a word, sir?
She talking to me?
I believe she said she wants a word.
I can't understand a damn word
coming out of her mouth.
Yeah?
Sir
whatever's between Walker and Lloyd,
it's got nothin' to do with me.
Nothin' to do with Laramie either.
That was just their excuse.
I was the first one up every mornin'
and the last to be done.
Ask him.
Ask him if anyone works harder'n me.
She ain't lying, sir.
So fight wasn't over you, huh?
No, sir.
- You just did your job.
- Ever' day.
Never fooled around with
anyone in the bunkhouse?
Ain't no one said I couldn't.
Well, common sense says you shouldn't
'cause the next fight will be over you.
So all that "this is my home
forever" is just talk?
Fucking scarred for life
and it don't mean nothin'?
You wait over there a minute.
When the hell did that happen?
The night that we took care of
that thing in the forest for ya.
- So, they all wear it.
- Yes, sir.
And it just slipped your mind
to fucking mention it to me?
It was the night before you got hit.
Before everyone got hit.
- Does Kayce know about this?
- Sir, it ain't his fault.
I should've come to
you and talked to you.
Does he know?
Yes, sir, he does.
Jesus.
Teeter?
Where's your gear at?
Everything I own's in the
back seat of my truck.
Go on and grab it. Put it
back in the bunkhouse.
- Thank you.
- Okay. All right.
Sorry but thank you.
I don't know, do you
need help with shit?
Teeter, just go grab your gear.
- Yeah.
- All right.
And hey.
This means something.
Yes, sir.
[MUSIC]
[CHUCKLES]
Well, you have an odd
definition of retirement.
Yeah, well, I never retired from this.
When Governors drop by unannounced,
it's either real good or real bad.
You wanna walk with me?
Oh, boy.
Unannounced and "walk with me."
I'm in for it, aren't I?
- [CHUCKLES]
- [GRUNTS]
You got it?
You know I used to just jump over these.
[CHUCKLES]
- Oh!
- Okay.
- Well done.
- All right.
[SIGHS]
Hit me with it.
I'm running for Senate.
[CHUCKLES]
I don't know, Lynelle.
Washington is a different snake.
Well, I'm a politician, John.
You know, I gotta go
where I believe I can make
the biggest difference.
There's no one in Washington
now that's doing that.
They've lost the art of compromise.
The art of negotiation.
Those are my greatest skills.
Well, I can think of a few
others you're a master of.
[LAUGHS]
Stewart running for governor, then?
Oh, Stewart
Stewart's sleeping until noon
and then playing 9 holes.
No, Stewart's done.
I think the Governor's office is ready
for a new generation of leader.
I think Jamie can take
the responsibility
- Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
- He's got the name,
which we know is most important.
And he navigated that Market
Equities development with a skill
- that not even I credited him with
- Skill Skill is not his weakness.
This is his weakness.
It's too much power.
And it isn't his name, it's mine.
There's other options.
Choose one of them.
The other options don't want the Montana
that you and I do.
Lynelle, there are things
there are things about
my son that you do not know.
Things that make him
unfit for your office.
He's the devil we know, John.
I'll take the risk.
I mean, unless you want
to run for governor,
- then I'll gladly endorse you.
- No, no
Listen, I just wanted
to tell you all this
so that you weren't finding out
in the newspapers, all right?
Lynelle
I'll take it.
Take it? Take what?
Your endorsement.
- I'll take it.
- You are going to run for office
- just so that your son doesn't get it?
- That's how bad he'll be
for everything you and I
worked so hard to protect.
He'll destroy it all.
So if you want a devil you
really know, here he is.
The press is gonna
come at you hard, John.
Oh, don't I know it.
No, I mean, they're gonna
have a lot of questions
about all the things that you've done
and you're going to have to
find a way to defend them.
Not gonna defend a thing.
"Damn right, I did it" is gonna
be my campaign slogan.
[LAUGHS] Oh, geez. Yeah,
that would be your slogan.
Yeah.
I I did not see this
one coming, John.
Yeah. I'm just
I'm just full of surprises.
Fuck.
Now I gotta run for fucking governor.
[DOOR OPENS, BELL RINGS]
- Howdy.
- Howdy.
You buying or selling?
[MUSIC]
- Trading.
- Trading what?
- One of a kind.
- Wow.
Are you sure?
Yep.
[MUSIC]
[SNIFFS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
I'm Emily, by the way.
Jimmy.
Probably should've
introduced myself sooner.
Masturbating stallions sort of
puts us on a first name basis.
Yeah, at the very least.
So, you got a girlfriend?
Um
Fuck, you're one of six single
guys in this county under thirty.
I dated two of them and the
other three ain't worth a shit.
So I thought I'd make my move
before you go on and get all scooped up.
Well, umm
aside from the wrangler
I'm paired up with,
you're the first person
I've seen in, uh
I actually don't know how
long I've been here.
So I think my chances of getting
scooped up are pretty slim.
Let me buy you dinner.
No, I can't let you buy me dinner.
You've got a girlfriend?
I don't know.
Let me buy you dinner.
No, I can't.
All right.
But, uh
I can buy you dinner.
All right.
[MUSIC]
[LAUGHS]
CROWD: Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is
murder! Fur is murder!
-
- Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
-
- Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder! Fur is murder!
Fur is murder!
Of course, you'd shop here.
My idea of shopping is calling
the sales manager at Gucci
and having her fill a box the
size of a fucking refrigerator.
You think you're making
a difference? Hmm?
Shaming some plastic surgeon's wife
out of buying a mink coat today?
What does that save? Not the mink.
Mink's already dead.
- Not the next mink.
- Yeah, he's dead too.
Fifteen of you standing in front
of a store yelling at patrons?
That isn't making a difference.
You know, this store is the
caboose of the problem, okay?
The engine of the problem
doesn't know you exist.
This isn't saving the
environment, sweetheart,
this is just inflating your
ego with very little effort.
And when Mommy and Daddy get tired
of bailing you out and subsidizing
this utter waste of time,
you'll go away.
Meanwhile, the world
continues getting raped.
What the hell do you know about
protecting the environment?
I know they're building
an international airport
15 miles from the national park.
And a ski resort the
size of Crested Butte.
And condos and hotels
and shopping plazas and restaurants
in the most fragile ecosystem
in North America.
But, you know, you just keep protesting
'til happy-hour, honey.
You can sip your skinny margaritas
and pat yourself on the back
and you'll all get drunk enough
to stanch the stench of
that couscous-eating hippie
you fuck tonight.
Did you make that up about the airport?
Give me your phone.
This one, this is a little
above your pay grade.
This one takes effort.
Strategy.
Sacrifice.
Risk, real risk,
not that bullshit that you
pulled with my brother.
Why the fuck do they
need another airport?
They're not in the business
of need, sweetheart.
They're in the business of
want. And they want it
because it's going to make
them a shit-ton of money
and they do not care
how many animals they
have to kill to build it.
Good dog.
Where'd you get him?
He just sort of came with the house.
What's his name?
Just been calling him "Dog."
That's what I call mine.
Except I say it in Lakota.
What's dog in Lakota?
Sunka.
I like that.
- Mind if I call it Sunka?
- He's your dog.
You can call him whatever you want.
Sunka!
Looks like he already knows it.
When you say it in their language,
they all know it.
[MUSIC]
[CLICKS TONGUE]
You can't be here.
I'm Livestock Commissioner.
He's tribal police.
These horses are property
of the Confederated
Tribes at Broken Rock.
These are mustangs.
We rounded them up yesterday.
Mustangs don't have shoes and brands.
- Son of a bitch.
- Yeah.
We herd them with a helicopter.
Don't get that good a look at
them 'til we trailer 'em up.
Trailer them to go where?
Auction, I guess.
Some go to the prison.
These don't.
They're gonna come with us.
Got proof they're yours?
Stolen you say?
Yeah, somebody cut a hole in a fence,
tried to herd 'em with dirt bikes.
Guess they didn't want to be herded.
[LAUGHS]
Damn right they don't.
Pain in the ass getting them in here.
Took two choppers and half a damn day.
Look, you know how the
federal government works:
when the wheels are in motion,
they're impossible to stop.
We're supposed to herd them out Friday,
but if you can get them
out before, so be it.
But I don't know how
you're going to do it.
You can't get a truck back here
and you damn sure can't
do it with other horses.
We'll see what we can come up with.
Figure it out by Friday.
- You got any ideas?
- I got an idea.
Care to share it?
This idea is hard to explain.
You'll just have to see it.
[CRICKETS]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not how you do it.
Let me show ya.
You're just tying it like a knot.
So, here's what you do.
First of all, let's get it set up right.
So you're going to lay it flat, right?
And then what you're going to do
is your going to lay this piece
goes down there, flat, right?
And these come around twice.
So you go once, and then twice.
And then you pull it from here.
And you pull it tight.
Just like that. Okay?
I don't want you tying a knot
like some fucking team roper.
Now, every piece of your equipment:
your saddle, your stirrups,
your cinch, your reins,
that's the thing that's either gonna
save you or it's gonna kill you.
For instance, if you
dally a bull, right,
and you break your rein off your bridle,
it's usually because either
the leather is rotted
or you tied a fucking square knot
- you understand?
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
Here. I'll loosen it up.
Hey.
Oh, you know, just watching
some feel-good movie on TV.
Okay.
Remember to lay this piece flat, right?
I gotta go up to the lodge.
Drive. I don't need you
getting eaten by a bear.
A bear knows better
than to fuck with me.
[LAUGHS]
Drive anyways.
Yes, sir.
Beautiful.
[MUSIC]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Need a drink?
You look sad.
Nah, I I look lonely.
There's a difference.
You know, my great-grandfather
didn't build this place
with the goal of impressing anyone.
The goal was to
the goal was to just make it big enough
that his children never had to leave.
But you left anyway.
You all did.
Daddy, I
He's going to be my husband
and my place is sleeping beside him.
As it should be, honey.
It's just I would
just like my family under this roof
and he is going to be
a part of my family.
You want us to move in here?
Ask him.
I was I was hoping you'd ask him.
Men.
No, Daddy.
I'm afraid you're going
to take an emotional risk
with another man.
And I do mean ask.
If you tell him to jump
off a fucking cliff,
he's jumping off the cliff. Okay?
So you gotta ask him.
Ask him what he would like
and then respect the answer he gives.
Feel like I'm in fucking
couple's therapy. [LAUGHS]
If it walks like a duck
and talks like a duck
Yeah.
- Goodnight, Daddy.
- Yeah.
Governor Perry's running for Senate.
She offered Jamie her endorsement.
[SIGHS]
How can such a shrewd
politician be so blind?
Doesn't matter.
I convinced her to take it back.
[MUSIC]
How?
Mm.
Because she's giving it to me.
I, uh
I couldn't think of anything
else to do, so
- Honey, now
- Dad, now we control the narrative.
All right, okay,
- the first thing that you do
- Honey.
No, that's the second.
The first thing is choosing
any of the fifty fucking things
that Jamie has done that make
him unfit to hold public office,
and then you remove his
fucking ass from the Capitol.
Okay? The second thing
You didn't let me finish my sentence.
What I was saying is now
I need you to help me
find a way out of out of running.
- Not on your life.
- No, Beth, listen to me.
I can't spend the next four
years of my life in Helena.
The ranch won't be here
in four years, Dad.
Listen to me, as governor,
you will have the power
to withhold funds.
You have the power to
reverse state land grants.
You have the power to shut
that fucking airport down.
You have the power to
withhold building applications
and tax exemptions.
You have the power to
withhold gambling licenses.
You have the power to run those
fuckers out of this valley
and then you get to pass a law
so they can never return.
You always tell me that there is a way,
another way to save this
ranch without selling.
So this is the way.
Tell me there's another.
This is the way.
You know that, don't you?
Yeah, honey. I just
Just wish it wasn't.
Dad?
I'm going to help you.

- Woo! That is huge.
- Guys
Woo! That' a Yellerstone horse?
For hell's sakes, the last three
have been Yellowstone horses.
And, look, it's not Yellerstone.
It's Yellowstone.
Whatever you say, baby,
- just take your pants off.
- Other room.
You can take your pants off
- in the other room.
- I don't know why we're talking about that
when we're watching a horse.
Doesn't even make any sense.
I gotta get up.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
I don't know shit about 'em.
The guy at the store
said it's a good one.
Well hell of a lot better'n
the one you fuckin' tore up.
That's for sure.
As it should be.
It sounds nice.
Anything you'd like to hear?
Hell, I don't know.
Just play me one.

You know, the lodge is

Didn't sound like a question, did it?
It's a question.
Right.
Um
I mean, are you asking us
- to come live up there with you?
- That's what I'm asking.
We got that stray kid with us,
sir, you don't want that.
Stray kids is fine.
No stray dogs.
Shit, you know I don't like dogs.
Well, then it's settled.
[MUSIC]
[EXHALES]

You ready?
Ready as we're gonna get.
Oh, shit.
Hut, hut, hut, hut, hut!

[WHOOPING]
[ULULATING]
Woo-hoo!
[CHEERING]
Get yourself some trail cameras
put 'em somewhere nobody can see
them, and point 'em at this gate.
Someone tries it again,
we'll know who it was.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Now we go find who let them out.
Yeah. That's the plan.
These are little victories,
in the scheme of things.
You'd be surprised how much they matter.
We rest the little things
on the large things.
Thank you.
Happy to help.
Watch out for that one.
Why, is she trouble?
[CHUCKLES]
When they look at you like
that, they're all trouble.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
I'm married.
I noticed.
[MUSIC]
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yeah, it's how I felt about
my wife first time I saw her.
It's how I felt when I first saw you.
My fucking luck.
Well, it can't be love.
God wouldn't let you love something
that can't love you back.
Yeah, he would.
[KNOCKING]
Governor's asking you
to meet her in the press room.
Is there a press conference
scheduled for today?
Not scheduled.
Are we doing this now?
[MUSIC]
[MURMURING]
Join us, Jamie.
Thanks for the flowers.
Meant a whole lot.
I'm I'm surprised you're here.
We, uh we wouldn't
miss this for the world.
Well, as many of you may have suspected,
I believe that I can best represent
Montana from the Senate.
The next governor of Montana
must hold steadfast to the
progress that we have made,
and yet, never allow
that progress to redefine
what it means to be a Montanan.
It is my great honor to
introduce you to my choice
as the next governor of Montana:
John Dutton.
- John. [CHUCKLES]
- Thank you, Governor.
You don't see it on your way to work,
in the fields, or on the mountain,
but there's a war being waged
against our way of life.
They'll tell you all the reasons
- why our way of life
- This is just the beginning.
JOHN: are bad for this country,
bad for our future.
How it's immoral that you live here,
work here, grow their food here.
They will tell it so much
you might even start
to believe it yourself.
Question what you do and who you are.
They'll tell you that
the land's only hope
is for them to be its steward.
The ugly truth is they want the land,
and if they get it,
it will never look like our land again.
That is progress in today's terms,
so if it's progress you seek,
do not vote for me.
I am the opposite of progress.
I am the wall that it bashes against,
and I will not be the one who breaks.

Thank you, bye.

- Morning, sir.
- Morning.
How's he working out?
He does his job and shuts his

Yeah.
You iron things out with Beth?
I'm afraid that ship's

Yeah? You'd better start

He's sniffing at those deer tracks.
Yeah, looks like it.
Here, let me show you something.
See how this front track here
- is deeper on the outside there?
- Yeah.
Means it was looking back
over its left shoulder.
You like to track, huh?
Might have a job for you.
You should probably name him
before you put him to work.
I don't know.
"Dog" seems to be working out just fine.
You busy today?
Depends on how quick
we find those horses.
If we find 'em at all.
Ah, so you're working
for miss pouty lips.
I'm working for the
state of Montana, baby.
Same as every other day.
Fine.
I'll just work cases for ugly
women from here on out.
Oh, so you think she's pretty?
Walked right into that one, Dad.
[KAYCE CLEARS THROAT]
We need to name the dog.
Dad just wants to call him "Dog."
- And I think that sucks pickled ass.
- Hey. Not at the table.
Not anywhere for that matter.
He's your son, I swear.
- I'm not done.
- You're done now.
You owe me one.
You're one of those, huh?
One of what?
The kind of man who uses
flowers to say "I'm sorry"
because he doesn't have
the balls to say it himself.
I don't want those fucking things.
[TYPING]
I need a ride into town.
Would you give me one?
What do you need in town?
This ain't a life.
Cleaning up horse shit,
sleeping in a barn
I don't have any friends.
Not even you.
I'll take my chances in foster care.
You're 14, kid.
In four years the world
says that you're a man.
But you're not, that's what it says.
What becomes of you then?
I don't know.
What do you want to become?
What's your dream?
Don't have any dreams.
No?
I'm too busy trying to figure out
what I'm gonna eat and
where I'm gonna sleep.

Come here.
You do what I ask the way I say do it.
You ask questions when

You ask questions when

Never lie to me.

Can you make that promise and keep it?
I can keep it.
Shake on it.
If I don't give you flowers

You give 'em for no reason, buddy.
No reason at all.

Look at this.
You like this one?
You like that one?
Boo!
He's going to be a good father.
That's questionable
considering who taught him.
I'm teaching him now.
You know, most people, they end
up making the same mistakes
their parents made because, you
know, they were still children
when they had children.
I know I was
Jamie's endured 40 long years
learning how not to father,
how not to lead.
Hard lessons both, but he learned them.
He does seems different.
More like the man I wanted him to be.
I have a favor to ask.
Look, I'm here.
I just
I'm gonna need some time
before I trust him again.
Do you trust him to
be a good politician?
I never doubted him as a politician.
How 'bout a governor?
The election's a ways off, but
these things need planning,
don't they? I mean
Relationships beyond district
attorneys and cattlemen.
What kind of relationship do you have?
Anyway, that's the favor.
What do you see?
Well, he looks like a governor.
Yes, he does.
Hello.
- Who are you here to see?
- Not here to see a who.
Here to see a thing.
What thing?
My office.
Miss Dutton.
- Winner winner turkey dinner.
- [CHUCKLES]
Right this way.
[PHONES RINGING]
It's the corner office right down here.
This is Miss Dutton.
It's a pleasure to finally
[SIGHS]
[KNOCKING]
- All this shit has to go.
- Ma'am?
I feel like I'm in my fucking
gynecologist's office.
- I'll get the design team to
- Nope. I'll do it myself.
What's your name?
Cal.
Where you from, Cal?
Let me guess: Menlo Park.
Palo Alto, right next to it.
How'd you guess that?
I just read the tea leaves, buddy.
Ooh, um, there's no
smoking in the, uh
It's probably fine.
How long you been
boinking the receptionist?
Ma'am?
You know how that's gonna end, dontcha?
Hmm? So here's the thing:
I need my assistants
to put all their efforts into
not being pussies, okay?
I do not need them chasing it.
You want me to break up with her?
I want you to find another job.
I'm 0 for three with assistants anyway.
Turns out working for me is
pretty fucking dangerous.
Okay. I'm-I'm
I'm not really sure what you're asking.
I'm not asking you anything, Cal.
I'm firing you. Get the
fuck out of my office.
I'll get my own coffee.
- Hey, Cal?
- Yeah.
- Shut my fucking door.
- Yep.
All right.
[SIGHS]
Not looking too fired, Cal.
Phase one is white.
Phase two, green.
Phase three, blue.
Phase four, yellow.
Now, you'll notice in phase one,
we lay infrastructure
for all following phases.
So, you're laying in roadways,
electric, sewage for all
phases in phase one?
In the long term, it's much
more cost effective.
Laying infrastructure in
phases triples the cost.
Kyle, this makes assumptions
about land ownership
- that we can't make.
- Uh, not the time or the place.
This is a design meeting.
Can I see an ownership plat over this?
It's not relevant at this time.
Well, if you're building
roads and sewers on land
that you don't own, I'd say
it's pretty fucking relevant.
Well, I guess we're going to find
out who you're loyal to, Beth.
No one mentioned this to me.
Beth, there are two terminals.
That's fifty-two gates.
- You saw the airport design.
- Yes.
So who did you think
those gates were for?
Hmm?
You said it yourself, you'd
turn it into Park City.
Well, this is Park City.

Where y'all need me?
Start sorting heifers.
Could I have a word, sir?
She talking to me?
I believe she said she wants a word.
I can't understand a damn word
coming out of her mouth.
Yeah?
Sir
whatever's between Walker and Lloyd,
it's got nothin' to do with me.
Nothin' to do with Laramie either.
That was just their excuse.
I was the first one up every mornin'

Ask him.
Ask him if anyone works harder'n me.
She ain't lying, sir.
So fight wasn't over you, huh?
No, sir.
- You just did your job.
- Ever' day.
Never fooled around with
anyone in the bunkhouse?
Ain't no one said I couldn't.
Well, common sense says you shouldn't
'cause the next fight will be over you.
So all that "this is my home
forever" is just talk?
Fucking scarred for life
and it don't mean nothin'?
You wait over there a minute.
When the hell did that happen?
The night that we took care of
that thing in the forest for ya.
- So, they all wear it.
- Yes, sir.
And it just slipped your mind
to fucking mention it to me?
It was the night before you got hit.
Before everyone got hit.
- Does Kayce know about this?
- Sir, it ain't his fault.
I should've come to
you and talked to you.
Does he know?
Yes, sir, he does.
Jesus.
Teeter?
Where's your gear at?
Everything I own's in the

Go on and grab it. Put it

Sorry but thank you.
I don't know, do you

Teeter, just go grab your gear.

And hey.
This means something.
Yes, sir.

Well, you have an odd

Yeah, well, I never retired from this.
When Governors drop by unannounced,

You wanna walk with me?
Oh, boy.
Unannounced and "walk with me."
I'm in for it, aren't I?

- [GRUNTS]
You got it?
You know I used to just jump over these.
[CHUCKLES]
- Oh!
- Okay.
- Well done.
- All right.
[SIGHS]
Hit me with it.
I'm running for Senate.
[CHUCKLES]
I don't know, Lynelle.
Washington is a different snake.
Well, I'm a politician, John.
You know, I gotta go
where I believe I can make
the biggest difference.
There's no one in Washington
now that's doing that.
They've lost the art of compromise.
The art of negotiation.
Those are my greatest skills.
Well, I can think of a few
others you're a master of.
[LAUGHS]
Stewart running for governor, then?
Oh, Stewart
Stewart's sleeping until noon
and then playing 9 holes.
No, Stewart's done.
I think the Governor's office is ready
for a new generation of leader.
I think Jamie can take
the responsibility
- Absolutely not. Absolutely not.
- He's got the name,
which we know is most important.
And he navigated that Market
Equities development with a skill
- that not even I credited him with
- Skill Skill is not his weakness.
This is his weakness.
It's too much power.
And it isn't his name, it's mine.
There's other options.
Choose one of them.
The other options don't want the Montana
that you and I do.
Lynelle, there are things
there are things about
my son that you do not know.
Things that make him
unfit for your office.
He's the devil we know, John.
I'll take the risk.
I mean, unless you want
to run for governor,
- then I'll gladly endorse you.
- No, no
Listen, I just wanted
to tell you all this
so that you weren't finding out
in the newspapers, all right?
Lynelle
I'll take it.
Take it? Take what?
Your endorsement.
- I'll take it.
- You are going to run for office
- just so that your son doesn't get it?
- That's how bad he'll be
for everything you and I
worked so hard to protect.
He'll destroy it all.
So if you want a devil you
really know, here he is.
The press is gonna
come at you hard, John.
Oh, don't I know it.
No, I mean, they're gonna
have a lot of questions
about all the things that you've done
and you're going to have to
find a way to defend them.
Not gonna defend a thing.
"Damn right, I did it" is gonna
be my campaign slogan.
[LAUGHS] Oh, geez. Yeah,
that would be your slogan.
Yeah.
I I did not see this
one coming, John.
Yeah. I'm just
I'm just full of surprises.
Fuck.
Now I gotta run for fucking governor.

So, you got a girlfriend?
Um
Fuck, you're one of six single
guys in this county under thirty.
I dated two of them and the
other three ain't worth a shit.
So I thought I'd make my move
before you go on and get all scooped up.
Well, umm
aside from the wrangler
I'm paired up with,
you're the first person
I've seen in, uh
I actually don't know how
long I've been here.
So I think my chances of getting
scooped up are pretty slim.
Let me buy you dinner.
No, I can't let you buy me dinner.
You've got a girlfriend?
I don't know.
Let me buy you dinner.
No, I can't.

My idea of shopping is calling

You think you're making
a difference? Hmm?
Shaming some plastic surgeon's wife
out of buying a mink coat today?
What does that save? Not the mink.
Mink's already dead.
- Not the next mink.
- Yeah, he's dead too.
Fifteen of you standing in front
of a store yelling at patrons?
That isn't making a difference.
You know, this store is the
caboose of the problem, okay?
The engine of the problem
doesn't know you exist.
This isn't saving the
environment, sweetheart,
this is just inflating your
ego with very little effort.
And when Mommy and Daddy get tired
of bailing you out and subsidizing
this utter waste of time,
you'll go away.
Meanwhile, the world
continues getting raped.
What the hell do you know about
protecting the environment?
I know they're building
an international airport
15 miles from the national park.
And a ski resort the
size of Crested Butte.
And condos and hotels
and shopping plazas and restaurants
in the most fragile ecosystem
in North America.
But, you know, you just keep protesting
'til happy-hour, honey.
You can sip your skinny margaritas
and pat yourself on the back
and you'll all get drunk enough
to stanch the stench of
that couscous-eating hippie
you fuck tonight.
Did you make that up about the airport?
Give me your phone.
This one, this is a little
above your pay grade.
This one takes effort.
Strategy.
Sacrifice.
Risk, real risk,
not that bullshit that you
pulled with my brother.
Why the fuck do they
need another airport?
They're not in the business
of need, sweetheart.
They're in the business of
want. And they want it
because it's going to make
them a shit-ton of money
and they do not care
how many animals they
have to kill to build it.
Good dog.
Where'd you get him?
He just sort of came with the house.
What's his name?
Just been calling him "Dog."
That's what I call mine.
Except I say it in Lakota.
What's dog in Lakota?
Sunka.
I like that.
- Mind if I call it Sunka?
- He's your dog.
You can call him whatever you want.
Sunka!
Looks like he already knows it.
When you say it in their language,
they all know it.
[MUSIC]
[CLICKS TONGUE]
You can't be here.
I'm Livestock Commissioner.
He's tribal police.
These horses are property
of the Confederated
Tribes at Broken Rock.
These are mustangs.
We rounded them up yesterday.
Mustangs don't have shoes and brands.
- Son of a bitch.
- Yeah.
We herd them with a helicopter.
Don't get that good a look at
them 'til we trailer 'em up.
Trailer them to go where?
Auction, I guess.
Some go to the prison.
These don't.
They're gonna come with us.
Got proof they're yours?
Stolen you say?
Yeah, somebody cut a hole in a fence,
tried to herd 'em with dirt bikes.
Guess they didn't want to be herded.
[LAUGHS]
Damn right they don't.
Pain in the ass getting them in here.
Took two choppers and half a damn day.
Look, you know how the
federal government works:
when the wheels are in motion,
they're impossible to stop.
We're supposed to herd them out Friday,
but if you can get them
out before, so be it.
But I don't know how
you're going to do it.
You can't get a truck back here
and you damn sure can't
do it with other horses.
We'll see what we can come up with.
Figure it out by Friday.
- You got any ideas?
- I got an idea.
Care to share it?
This idea is hard to explain.
You'll just have to see it.
[CRICKETS]
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not how you do it.
Let me show ya.
You're just tying it like a knot.
So, here's what you do.
First of all, let's get it set up right.
So you're going to lay it flat, right?
And then what you're going to do
is your going to lay this piece
goes down there, flat, right?
And these come around twice.
So you go once, and then twice.
And then you pull it from here.
And you pull it tight.
Just like that. Okay?
I don't want you tying a knot
like some fucking team roper.
Now, every piece of your equipment:
your saddle, your stirrups,
your cinch, your reins,
that's the thing that's either gonna
save you or it's gonna kill you.
For instance, if you
dally a bull, right,
and you break your rein off your bridle,
it's usually because either
the leather is rotted
or you tied a fucking square knot
- you understand?
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
Here. I'll loosen it up.
Hey.
Oh, you know, just watching
some feel-good movie on TV.
Okay.
Remember to lay this piece flat, right?
I gotta go up to the lodge.
Drive. I don't need you
getting eaten by a bear.
A bear knows better
than to fuck with me.
[LAUGHS]
Drive anyways.
Yes, sir.
Beautiful.
[MUSIC]
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Need a drink?
You look sad.
Nah, I I look lonely.
There's a difference.
You know, my great-grandfather
didn't build this place
with the goal of impressing anyone.
The goal was to
the goal was to just make it big enough
that his children never had to leave.
But you left anyway.
You all did.
Daddy, I
He's going to be my husband
and my place is sleeping beside him.
As it should be, honey.
It's just I would
just like my family under this roof
and he is going to be
a part of my family.
You want us to move in here?
Ask him.
I was I was hoping you'd ask him.
Men.
No, Daddy.
I'm afraid you're going
to take an emotional risk
with another man.
And I do mean ask.
If you tell him to jump
off a fucking cliff,
he's jumping off the cliff. Okay?
So you gotta ask him.
Ask him what he would like
and then respect the answer he gives.
Feel like I'm in fucking
couple's therapy. [LAUGHS]
If it walks like a duck
and talks like a duck
Yeah.
- Goodnight, Daddy.
- Yeah.
Governor Perry's running for Senate.
She offered Jamie her endorsement.
[SIGHS]
How can such a shrewd
politician be so blind?
Doesn't matter.
I convinced her to take it back.
[MUSIC]
How?
Mm.
Because she's giving it to me.
I, uh
I couldn't think of anything
else to do, so
- Honey, now
- Dad, now we control the narrative.
All right, okay,
- the first thing that you do
- Honey.
No, that's the second.
The first thing is choosing
any of the fifty fucking things
that Jamie has done that make
him unfit to hold public office,
and then you remove his
fucking ass from the Capitol.
Okay? The second thing
You didn't let me finish my sentence.
What I was saying is now
I need you to help me
find a way out of out of running.
- Not on your life.
- No, Beth, listen to me.
I can't spend the next four
years of my life in Helena.
The ranch won't be here
in four years, Dad.
Listen to me, as governor,
you will have the power
to withhold funds.
You have the power to
reverse state land grants.
You have the power to shut
that fucking airport down.
You have the power to
withhold building applications
and tax exemptions.
You have the power to
withhold gambling licenses.
You have the power to run those
fuckers out of this valley
and then you get to pass a law
so they can never return.
You always tell me that there is a way,
another way to save this
ranch without selling.
So this is the way.
Tell me there's another.
This is the way.

Just wish it wasn't.

Woo! That' a Yellerstone horse?
For hell's sakes, the last three

And, look, it's not Yellerstone.
It's Yellowstone.
Whatever you say, baby,
- just take your pants off.
- Other room.
You can take your pants off
- in the other room.
- I don't know why we're talking about that
when we're watching a horse.
Doesn't even make any sense.
I gotta get up.
[HEAVY BREATHING]
I don't know shit about 'em.
The guy at the store
said it's a good one.
Well hell of a lot better'n
the one you fuckin' tore up.
That's for sure.
As it should be.
It sounds nice.
Anything you'd like to hear?
Hell, I don't know.
Just play me one.
Hey, boss. You need a beer.
Thanks, Jake.

Sir, after lunch we could bring
in them replacements heifers.
The vet wants to preg-check
them tomorrow.
Yeah, you go ahead, uh
You know, the lodge is
where family belongs.
Didn't sound like a question, did it?
It's a question.
Right.
Um
I mean, are you asking us
- to come live up there with you?
- That's what I'm asking.
We got that stray kid with us,
sir, you don't want that.
Stray kids is fine.
No stray dogs.
Shit, you know I don't like dogs.
Well, then it's settled.

[EXHALES]

You ready?
Ready as we're gonna get.
Oh, shit.

[ULULATING]
Woo-hoo!
[CHEERING]
Get yourself some trail cameras
put 'em somewhere nobody can see
them, and point 'em at this gate.
Someone tries it again,
we'll know who it was.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Now we go find who let them out.
Yeah. That's the plan.
These are little victories,
in the scheme of things.
You'd be surprised how much they matter.
We rest the little things
on the large things.
Thank you.
Happy to help.
Watch out for that one.
Why, is she trouble?
[CHUCKLES]
When they look at you like
that, they're all trouble.
What are you doing?
I don't know.
I'm married.
I noticed.
[MUSIC]
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yeah, it's how I felt about
my wife first time I saw her.
It's how I felt when I first saw you.
My fucking luck.
Well, it can't be love.
God wouldn't let you love something
that can't love you back.
Yeah, he would.
[KNOCKING]
Governor's asking you
to meet her in the press room.
Is there a press conference
scheduled for today?
Not scheduled.
Are we doing this now?
[MUSIC]
[MURMURING]
Join us, Jamie.
Thanks for the flowers.
Meant a whole lot.
I'm I'm surprised you're here.
We, uh we wouldn't
miss this for the world.
Well, as many of you may have suspected,
I believe that I can best represent
Montana from the Senate.
The next governor of Montana
must hold steadfast to the
progress that we have made,
and yet, never allow
that progress to redefine
what it means to be a Montanan.
It is my great honor to
introduce you to my choice
as the next governor of Montana:
John Dutton.
- John. [CHUCKLES]
- Thank you, Governor.
You don't see it on your way to work,
in the fields, or on the mountain,
but there's a war being waged
against our way of life.
They'll tell you all the reasons
- why our way of life
- This is just the beginning.
JOHN: are bad for this country,
bad for our future.
How it's immoral that you live here,
work here, grow their food here.
They will tell it so much
you might even start
to believe it yourself.
Question what you do and who you are.
They'll tell you that
the land's only hope
is for them to be its steward.
The ugly truth is they want the land,
and if they get it,
it will never look like our land again.
That is progress in today's terms,
so if it's progress you seek,
do not vote for me.
I am the opposite of progress.
I am the wall that it bashes against,
and I will not be the one who breaks.
