Yellowstone (2018) s04e09 Episode Script
No Such Thing as Fair

[MUSIC]
Hey.
Why didn't you stop him?
Stop him from what?
From walking into a diner
full of armed robbers.
Beth, I can't stop your father
from doing anything.
He does what he does because
he thinks he's right.
I can either help him
or I can watch him.
I notice you aren't too worried
about me running in there.
Baby, I never worry about you.
I know nothing's happening to you.
Hm.
It's gonna happen to me one day.
It happens to us all.
[MUSIC]
I'll see you later.
Just you today?
Yeah, just me.
You know how to ride?
No.
But if there's an Olympic
event for shoveling shit,
I'd win a medal.
Sir. Sorry
Bunch of goddam pirates working for me.
Saddle another one.
Today you learn to ride.
Hurry up.
[MUSIC]
Ouch, my balls! Fuck!
Well, you gotta bounce with the horse.
I am bouncing with the horse.
No, no, no.
All right? You're bouncing
against the horse.
All right, when the horse bounces up,
let it stand you in the stirrups,
then when it comes down,
sit back in the saddle.
Let's try.
Come on.
Better?
Better on my balls. Harder on my legs.
Well, that's life, Carter.
Something's always getting
beat no matter what.
You guys do this all day?
It gets easier.
Well, it can't get much fucking harder.
You know
[GRUNTS]
You know what we're gonna do?
We're gonna ride the foul
right out of your mouth.
Fuck!
God damn it!
Just shut up and ride.
[MUSIC]
JOHN: They call this the Buffalo valley.
Are there buffalo in it?
Yeah, well, sometimes they'll
wander up from the park.
In 1889, when they thought
all the buffalo were gone,
the Army came to our ranch
asking if anyone had seen any.
My great-grandfather told 'em "no,"
'cause he thought they
wanted to kill the rest,
but he knew where they were.
They were right here.
When the park started
to protect the buffalo,
he and my grandfather herded
them down through Gardiner
back into the park.
And now, every buffalo in
the nation is descendants
of the buffalo my ancestors
found right here.
Why'd they kill them in the first place?
Well, the rich people in New
York liked to eat their tongues
and the women in France liked
to wear their fur as coats.
And the Army
Well, the Army just wanted them gone.
Why'd the army want 'em gone?
Because they wanted the Indians gone,
and buffalo is what Indians depended on.
Now the buffalo live on
ranches or preserves.
Not much different for the Indians.
[MUSIC]
That's not fair.
No. [CHUCKLES]
Let me
Let me tell you what fair means.
Fair means one side got
exactly what they wanted
in a way that the other
side can't complain about.
There's no such thing as fair.
Come on.
[MUSIC]
[DOOR SLAMS]
You mind pouring me one of those, honey?
Sure, Daddy.
What the fuck are you doing?
What the fuck are you doing?
You don't know how lucky you are.
Your coma, that was a gift from God.
God didn't give me any gifts.
I had to watch it.
I watched pus and bile
bubble out of you. Here.
And here. Here.
- All right.
- And here for 60 fucking days,
I had to watch the life leak out of you.
And then you look for a way to
lose it again. You fucking seek it.
Well, I'm not doing that again.
I am not willing you back to
life the next time you die.
What was I supposed to do, Beth?
Let a dozen people get
killed for the change
- in their pocket
- Yes!
Because when you die,
everything that you fought for
and everything that you had
me fight for dies with you.
I'm not made like that, honey.
Then get fucking remade!
I fight so hard for you, Dad.
And you do nothing to help me.
You do the opposite.
I do what's right in my heart.
What's in my soul and I won't stop.
I won't stop for anyone, including you.
You look for justice everywhere.
Everywhere but the mirror.
Where's the justice for the man
who tried to kill you? Huh?
You will risk your life for strangers,
but what are you risking to find
the man who fucking did this, Dad?
Look at it!
You won't look because
you know who did it.
You have some
false connection with him.
You think he's your child?
Fine. No, think it. I don't care.
But your child, he burned
the skin from me.
And you've done nothing about it.
It wasn't Jamie.
Stop lying to yourself.
It wasn't Jamie.
His name is Terrell Riggins.
He's serving life in prison.
[MUSIC]
He attacked us to send a message
to rival gang members
that he wasn't weak.
That we didn't destroy him.
He is an animal trying to convince
other animals he's still strong.
We proved he wasn't.
If he's alive, and I doubt he is,
he's hiding behind his bunk
with his teeth bared,
waiting to die 'cause that's what
animals do when they're cornered.
And that animal is cornered.
So we do nothing about it?
What are you asking me, Beth?
You asking me to waste my
life on that piece of shit?
[MUSIC]
No, Daddy.
That's what my life's for.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[PHONE RINGS]
- Beth
- [CAR DRIVES OFF]
[PHONE RINGS]
- Hello?
- This is a collect call
from Park County Jail.
Caller, say your name.
Summer.
I accept.
John? The DA's asking
for life in prison.
For what?
Protesting the airport.
Oh, God. All right.
I'm on my way. Just stay there.
I'm sorry, that was a dumb thing to say.
I'm on my way.
As more information comes out
about the horrific shootout
at the Ruby's Cafe in
Belgrade yesterday,
the assailants have been identified
as members of a local militia
that has been the subject
of a continued operation
between the Sheriff's department
and Livestock Agents that
has now taken the life
of Park County's own sheriff.
The armed robbery interrupted
by Former Livestock
Commissioner John Dutton
would have certainly
led to a greater loss
of innocent life had he not intervened.
John Dutton's acceptance speech
of Governor Perry's endorsement
seemed odd and out of
touch when he gave it.
Now, it has the ring of prophecy.
There is a war being waged
against our way of life.
They'll tell you all the reasons
why our way of life is bad for Montana.
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.
REPORTER: No, Mister Dutton.
It doesn't appear you will.
Now he gets to be the hero on
top of fucking everything else.
[LAUGHS] No, no, no
He just gave you a window.
What window? He just secured the vote
of every rancher in the state.
He already had them.
[SIGHS] What window?
He gave you more than that.
He gave you a slogan.
He's the opposite of progress?
You be the face of it.
You are progress.
Progress doesn't want to
take the people's land.
It wants to preserve it.
Progress wants opportunity
and equality for all.
Ranchers don't win elections anymore.
All you need is Bozeman,
Missoula, and Helena.
Be the face of pragmatic progressivism.
Be the bridge and you will be governor.
Okay, now is when we separate from him.
Introduce Montana to your real father.
Um
Hm. We're just gonna walk
- and talk some strategy.
- You do that, son.
Um
I don't think we want to
bring my father into this.
- Now's the perfect time.
- He was in prison.
No. What for?
Murder.
[SIGHS]
Who?
Who did he murder?
My mother.
Your mother?
And you're just telling me this now.
It was 40 years ago.
And he paid his debt.
I have forgiven him.
[EXHALES]
How noble, Jamie. That's just great.
Do you think the voters of Montana
are going to forgive him too?
The voters of Montana
don't need to know.
How can someone so brilliant
be so fucking stupid?
Your birth certificate
becomes public record
when you run for office.
The RNC will run a background check
with the sole goal of digging up dirt
and you just gave them a pile.
Not to mention what your father
plans to do with this information.
I have a plan for that.
The only plan is to put as much distance
between you and him as you can.
If you have any interest
in being governor,
get him out of your house
and get him out of your life.
[MUSIC]
She's not wrong, son.
If I'm going to be a
liability for you
maybe I better just make
myself scarce for a while.
I don't want you to do that.
I know you don't.
But you just think about
all the times in your life
where what you wanted was
the worst thing for you.
[MUSIC]
[LAUGHS]
Not used to seeing you come
in through the front door.
Yeah. Might be the first time.
Drug a few in through the
back, though, didn't we?
That we did.
Who's Watch Commander?
Ramsey, till the end of the day.
He retiring?
Appointed him interim sheriff.
Not Sam?
Not Sam.
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
Thanks.
John, how are you?
Well, I'm breathing, Bill.
At this point, I don't need a statement
from you beyond what we have.
County attorney is compiling
witness statements,
and that's gonna take a while.
Not why I'm here.
May I sit?
Please.
Against my better judgment,
I'm looking into this case
against Summer Higgins.
Two felony assault against
peace officer charges,
on two separate occasions
which makes it habitual.
There's criminal trespass,
reckless endangerment,
resisting arrest.
Life in prison, Bill?
I'm not the prosecutor, John.
[LAUGHS]
May I see her?
She's a family friend of sorts.
She's in with the public defender now.
Want to sit in with them?
If I could.
149263 in Interview One.
Ask the inmate if she would
like John Dutton to join them.
So, Sheriff.
Interim sheriff.
We both know where that leads.
Big shoes to fill.
You think so?
Don't you?
Donnie was a gambling
addict and an alcoholic
who only protected and
served the highest bidder.
He was a father.
Half the men in my jail are fathers.
[PHONE RINGS]
On our way.
I know where it is.
Things will be different
with me in charge.
New rules, huh?
Still the old rules.
But now they'll be enforced.
Oh.
So the county can sleep good tonight.
I will ask that both Class
B felonies be dropped.
- [KNOCKS]
- In exchange,
we don't contest class D
reckless endangerment.
Pull up a seat.
The felony criminal trespass will
likely be dropped to a misdemeanor.
I didn't assault him, I pushed him back.
That's assault.
Well, technically, it's battery.
Do you want to try the case?
It is termed "assault"
before this court.
They're making an example of
me, that's what they're doing.
It's exactly what they're doing.
And we need to let them,
just a little.
Because there's no jury
of your peers here.
Your peers are in Portland.
And in Portland, he may be the
enemy or I may be the enemy,
but here?
The enemy is you.
We don't want to go before a jury.
Let me go try and plea this down.
Can I talk to him for a minute, please?
I'll be outside.
I can't believe this is happening.
Yeah. Well, it's happening.
- Do you know the judge?
- I know the judge.
Can you talk to him?
Let's Let's save that card.
They're asking for life.
- That'll come down.
- To what? 30 years?
I'm going to do three decades in prison?
My God, I mean That's
makes you the last guy I fuck
for thirty years!
[LAUGHS]
Go ahead, you just, uh
you just bang away at the old ego.
That's not what I mean, I just
[CLEARS THROAT] Ugh!
- All I did was
- All you did
was assault two police officers.
And broke a bunch of other laws.
This ain't New York,
Summer, and it ain't L.A.
Our jails aren't overcrowded,
there's plenty of room.
And we are not afraid to fill them.
But you're not a criminal.
You got so mad you broke the law.
And they're mad as hell you did it.
But you're not a criminal,
they know that.
Now let them know you're sorry.
I'm not sorry.
Okay, well, you
you'd better get sorry,
and real quick, young lady.
You be mad at the world when you're free
and far away from here.
I should have never
listened to your daughter.
What do you mean?
She's the one who told
me to protest here.
She said, "Take one for the team.
Make some noise. Make the news."
Well, I made the news, and
I don't see my fucking team.
This was Beth's idea?
Yeah, she's not wrong, I mean
putting an airport next to
a national park is barbaric,
but it wasn't my idea to
slap the first cop I saw.
It was hers.
[SIGHS]
I'm going to get you out of this.
I promise.
And when I make a promise,
it means something.
What do you think, cooler
heads gonna prevail here?
Not seeing many cool heads.
They are in a "nip it in
the bud" kind of mood.
I'm going to offer a big
suspended sentence
15, 20 years, something
that says to them
"She's never coming back."
[SNIFFS] Maybe I'll have
a word with the judge.
I don't know. That
always makes it worse.
Yeah, well, you can only ask
for favors if you're owed one.
And he owes me one.
[MUSIC]
How many times have you seen it?
Four.
What happens after?
After what?
In your life.
What happens in your life
after the moment you see it?
First time, I was with my wife.
Second time, the governor came,
asked me to take the appointment
for Livestock Commissioner.
Then I was with my wife again.
Then the other night.
When you see the wolf
and your wife together,
what are you doing?
I'm gonna plead the fifth on that one.
Last time I saw it,
she came out and told
me she was pregnant.
The wolf is our protector.
Your spirit animal.
Because in your heart,
you're part wolf, too.
But carrying the wolf is a burden.
He is the hunter most hunted.
The killer most killed.
Man and wolf evolved together.
We form packs like they do.
We raid territories like they do.
Destroy their enemies like we do.
And we have tried everything
in our power to destroy them.
Before guns and bows,
they tried everything to destroy us.
It is said the wolf exists to
manage the spread of man
and man exists to manage
the spread of the wolf.
So if we're supposed to
destroy each other
why is one protecting me?
I don't know.
You'll have to ask the wolf.
[MUSIC]
How do I do that?
Hanbleceya.
Cry for a vision.
If you cry hard enough,
he might tell you.
I don't know how.
Your wife knows how.
I know how.
When you're ready, we'll teach you.
I'm ready.
[MUSIC]
[DOOR SQUEAKS]
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here,
except cheatin' on me?
How am I cheating on you,
you're still my waitress.
You didn't know I worked here too.
That means you were gonna let
some other hussy bring you lunch.
Yeah. Little early to be
flirting, now, idn't it?
It's a little too early
to follow through,
but it's never too early to flirt.
- Usual?
- Yeah.
[JUKEBOX PLAYING]
Last time I saw you,
a judge gave you life.
Guess life don't mean
what it used to, does it?
I spent 30 years
inside a concrete box
fighting to survive,
fighting to stay sane,
praying that a bird
would fly by my window
so I'd have proof of some better place
than the hell you put me in.
Naw, you you put yourself in it.
You didn't deserve the bird.
You could've told the truth.
You could've told them
what she'd become
She became what you made her.
And then you killed her for it.
I raised your son with love and respect,
and I made him what he is today.
If he chooses to let you
unmake it, I can't stop that.
But if your plan is to get me back
for what you did to yourself,
I will treat you like everyone
else who showed up
with the same idea,
and I will rid the fucking world of you.
[TAPS ON TABLE]
Best Salisbury Steak in
Montana. You enjoy it.
'Cause you never know which
meal will be your last.
[MUSIC]
EMILY: How long you gonna be gone?
JIMMY: A whole week.
Mm. You're gonna miss me.
Yeah, it's gonna be hard on you,
but I need you to stay strong.
I'm being serious. I have
that effect on people.
The symptoms, just so you're aware:
some serious melancholy,
shortness of breath,
extreme discomfort in the groin area.
Okay, so loving you is kind
of like a venereal disease.
Oh, look at you.
Using the L word, just a week in.
Fuck. [LAUGHS]
Yeah, you're so hooked.
Yeah, I'm in over my
head, that's for sure.
- Pussy-whipped is what it is.
- I think you're pecker-whipped.
- Pecker-whipped?
- Pecker-whipped.
Okay, so now you're
just making up words.
All right, I might be a
little pecker-whipped.
But you are pussy-whipped.
To my very core.
How am I different
from the barrel racer?
Really, no segue at all? Just
straight to the serious stuff?
Not serious. Just curious.
I think that she liked
the potential in me.
I never really got it. Sure
as hell didn't live up to it.
But it seems like you like
me for who I am right now.
I do.
My standards are low.
[LAUGHS]
I think it's hard to lose someone
who thinks you let them down
'cause there's no way
to prove 'em wrong.
Even if you do, they
ain't around to see it.
But I ain't here to set
standards for you.
Gotta set those for yourself.
Yeah, I wish you weren't leaving.
Me, too.
Feels good to miss
someone again, though.
Yeah. It does.

What's up, brother?
Hell of a run, brother.
Oh, shit. Thank you.
We'll see if it sticks.
Oh, shit, it'll stick.
Well, I'm just gonna assume
you want one of these.
Absolutely.
[LAUGHS]
- There you go, cheers.
- Cheers, man.
Well, if it ain't the bronc buster.
Congratulations.
That was, uh that was beautiful.
I don't know another word for it.
Well, thank you.
The Sixes got you hauling horses?
Boyd was a little shorthanded,
- so they sent me down here to help.
- That a fact?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, Jimmy, I guess you
must've learned quite a bit
if they sent you to help here.
Hey, you were right.
'Bout everything. [LAUGHS]
It's just you and a horse.
That's all there is.
This old timer down
there told me that, uh
cowboying's an art without an audience.
But guess he was wrong.
Pretty big audience out there.
Oh, shit, Jimmy. This isn't
this ain't cowboying.
This is This is just showing off.
That's all it is.
I mean, it's a lot of fun
and when it pays, it pays good,
but it is not cowboying.
The best ride of my life,
the best cow I ever
worked was in a field
in San Saba, Texas, and nobody saw it.
Not a soul.
So your old timer was right.
Mine was a steer that didn't
want to cross the Wichita.
I know the river, and I know
the steer. [CHUCKLES]
Hey, guys, they're
bringing in Metallic Cat.
Oh, shit.
Come with me, Jimmy,
this will interest you.
ANNOUNCER: The 2021
NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity
is sponsored by the
leading sire in the NCHA
and NRCHA with over 37
million in offspring earnings.
Let's have a big Ft. Worth welcome
for the NCHA stallion of the year,
- Metallic Cat.
- [CHEERING]
Owned in partnership
with the Rocking P. Ranch
in Ft. Worth, Texas and the
Yellowstone Dutton ranch
in Paradise Valley, Montana.
Wait, the Yellowstone
bought Metallic Cat?
Half owners.
If you're wanting to get
into this game, buddy,
you're gonna have your
pick of the litter.
I'm gonna have you drive
him back when we're done.
- Wait, when are we heading back?
- Right after the dispersal sale.
School's over, Jimmy, and
you came out of it a cowboy.
Hey, Travis, we're going
to the bar. You coming?
Oh, shit, you don't
have to ask me twice.
[MUSIC]
You weren't supposed to be here yet.
Don't look too happy to see me.
The Sixes is sending me back to Montana.
My contract's up.
If it's up, they can't
send you anywhere.
Just try the Pitchfork.
Hell, it's next door.
I love how thirty miles away
is next door here. No, I
I owe him.
John Dutton. I gave him my word.
I respect that.
Hate hearing it, but I respect it.
Man, life refuses to play fair.
Ain't played fair with me yet.
Me neither.
We'd better rip this
band-aid off quick then.
Goodbye, Jimmy.
[MUSIC]
Thanks.
We're eating in the dining room tonight.
Why are we eating in the dining room?
'Cause I like eating in here.
But you and I aren't
going to like this dinner.
Shall we?
Not on your life, sweetheart.
Tell you what? Let's go
around to the bunkhouse
and we see what the boys are
making for supper. Come on.
Discretion's the better part of valor.
Ain't that the fucking truth.
Well, Beth, you have a good time, hon.
Quitter.
[LAUGHS] Come find me
after your ass whipping.
You forget who you're marrying?
There's always a bigger bear, darling.
[MUSIC]
Have a seat.
I fight standing.
- This isn't a fight.
- The fuck it's not.
Come on, let me have it.
If you were one of my sons
You'd what? Brand me? Fight me? Huh?
Don't treat me any different.
You want to brawl, let's brawl.
You done?
Or you need a little more time to
psych yourself into being right.
Or are you just throwing
a tantrum for no reason
because if this wants to be a contest
about who can lose their
composure the most,
I will put this table
through the fucking wall.
Or you and I can sit down and
have a conversation like adults.
You used that girl.
You used her and now
she's facing prison.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, that's life in the Serengeti, Dad.
What we do to our enemies
we do to our enemies.
That woman is not our enemy.
The thought was complete
before you mentioned the woman.
I do anything to hurt our enemies, Dad.
If I hurt others, so be it.
I don't care. I don't care
if she dies in prison.
I don't care if she gets out.
I do not fucking care, okay?
I care about you, I care about Kayce,
I care about Rip.
Well, if you care about them,
then you need to care
about having some morality
in the way you fight.
There's no such thing. Not in a kingdom.
And that's what this is.
There is no morality here, Dad, none.
There is keep the kingdom or
there is lose the kingdom.
Or break your fucking promise, Dad.
Break it and sell this place.
Take the money, buy up half of Oklahoma
and run cattle for the
next 20 generations
where no one gives a fuck
about you or your land.
My kingdom, my rules.
We fight with dignity. You aren't.
You start or find another fight.
What does that mean?
I'm saying no more collateral
damage, you understand me?
We don't kill sheep. We kill wolves.
What you did was cruel, honey.
Because you fucked her, it's cruel?
Did you do it because I fucked her?
Because that is cruel.
Goddam, Beth, I never thought I'd
feel this way about you before,
but you have really
disappointed me, honey.
And I never thought
I'd say that about you.
Me neither.
You know, maybe it's best
if I fight this alone.
Maybe it's best if you go
somewhere else while I do it.
This is my home.
Might be time to find another one.
[TELEVISION BLARING]
[SIGHS]
Got 'em all sorted, huh?
- Yep.
- Sale's done?
[SNIFFS] Yep.
Goodbyes are too hard, Jimmy.
That's why I said it quick.
Let's not do this.
I'm not saying goodbye.
I'm keeping you.
I'll day work, I'll do
what I have to do.
Can't let you break your word over me.
It'll be the thing that breaks
us, then you'll have nothing.
Keep your word.
Then come back to me.
If you ask me to wait, I'll wait.
Wait for me.
Okay.

And then what?
When you are without memories,
without regrets to ponder,
without fantasies to
embrace or to reject,
what will you think of then?
What will come to you
depends on how hard you pray

JOHN: They call this the Buffalo valley.
Are there buffalo in it?
Yeah, well, sometimes they'll
wander up from the park.
In 1889, when they thought
all the buffalo were gone,
the Army came to our ranch
asking if anyone had seen any.
My great-grandfather told 'em "no,"
'cause he thought they
wanted to kill the rest,
but he knew where they were.
They were right here.
When the park started
to protect the buffalo,
he and my grandfather herded
them down through Gardiner
back into the park.
And now, every buffalo in
the nation is descendants
of the buffalo my ancestors
found right here.
Why'd they kill them in the first place?
Well, the rich people in New
York liked to eat their tongues
and the women in France liked
to wear their fur as coats.
And the Army
Well, the Army just wanted them gone.
Why'd the army want 'em gone?
Because they wanted the Indians gone,
and buffalo is what Indians depended on.
Now the buffalo live on
ranches or preserves.
Not much different for the Indians.
[MUSIC]
That's not fair.
No. [CHUCKLES]
Let me
Let me tell you what fair means.
Fair means one side got
exactly what they wanted
in a way that the other
side can't complain about.
There's no such thing as fair.
Come on.

You mind pouring me one of those, honey?
Sure, Daddy.
What the fuck are you doing?

You don't know how lucky you are.
Your coma, that was a gift from God.
God didn't give me any gifts.
I had to watch it.
I watched pus and bile
bubble out of you. Here.
And here. Here.
- All right.
- And here for 60 fucking days,
I had to watch the life leak out of you.
And then you look for a way to
lose it again. You fucking seek it.
Well, I'm not doing that again.
I am not willing you back to
life the next time you die.
What was I supposed to do, Beth?
Let a dozen people get
killed for the change
- in their pocket
- Yes!
Because when you die,
everything that you fought for
and everything that you had
me fight for dies with you.
I'm not made like that, honey.
Then get fucking remade!
I fight so hard for you, Dad.
And you do nothing to help me.
You do the opposite.
I do what's right in my heart.
What's in my soul and I won't stop.
I won't stop for anyone, including you.
You look for justice everywhere.
Everywhere but the mirror.
Where's the justice for the man
who tried to kill you? Huh?
You will risk your life for strangers,
but what are you risking to find
the man who fucking did this, Dad?
Look at it!
You won't look because
you know who did it.
You have some
false connection with him.
You think he's your child?
Fine. No, think it. I don't care.
But your child, he burned
the skin from me.
And you've done nothing about it.
It wasn't Jamie.
Stop lying to yourself.
It wasn't Jamie.
His name is Terrell Riggins.
He's serving life in prison.
[MUSIC]
He attacked us to send a message
to rival gang members
that he wasn't weak.
That we didn't destroy him.
He is an animal trying to convince
other animals he's still strong.
We proved he wasn't.
If he's alive, and I doubt he is,
he's hiding behind his bunk
with his teeth bared,
waiting to die 'cause that's what
animals do when they're cornered.
And that animal is cornered.
So we do nothing about it?
What are you asking me, Beth?
You asking me to waste my
life on that piece of shit?

No, Daddy.
That's what my life's for.

- Hello?
- This is a collect call
from Park County Jail.
Caller, say your name.
Summer.
I accept.
John? The DA's asking
for life in prison.
For what?
Protesting the airport.
Oh, God. All right.
I'm on my way. Just stay there.
I'm sorry, that was a dumb thing to say.
I'm on my way.
As more information comes out
about the horrific shootout
at the Ruby's Cafe in
Belgrade yesterday,
the assailants have been identified
as members of a local militia
that has been the subject
of a continued operation
between the Sheriff's department
and Livestock Agents that
has now taken the life
of Park County's own sheriff.
The armed robbery interrupted
by Former Livestock
Commissioner John Dutton
would have certainly
led to a greater loss
of innocent life had he not intervened.
John Dutton's acceptance speech
of Governor Perry's endorsement
seemed odd and out of
touch when he gave it.
Now, it has the ring of prophecy.
There is a war being waged
against our way of life.
They'll tell you all the reasons
why our way of life is bad for Montana.
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.
REPORTER: No, Mister Dutton.
It doesn't appear you will.
Now he gets to be the hero on
top of fucking everything else.
[LAUGHS] No, no, no
He just gave you a window.
What window? He just secured the vote
of every rancher in the state.
He already had them.
[SIGHS] What window?
He gave you more than that.
He gave you a slogan.
He's the opposite of progress?
You be the face of it.
You are progress.
Progress doesn't want to
take the people's land.
It wants to preserve it.
Progress wants opportunity
and equality for all.
Ranchers don't win elections anymore.
All you need is Bozeman,
Missoula, and Helena.
Be the face of pragmatic progressivism.
Be the bridge and you will be governor.
Okay, now is when we separate from him.
Introduce Montana to your real father.
Um
Hm. We're just gonna walk
- and talk some strategy.
- You do that, son.
Um
I don't think we want to
bring my father into this.
- Now's the perfect time.
- He was in prison.
No. What for?
Murder.
[SIGHS]
Who?
Who did he murder?
My mother.
Your mother?
And you're just telling me this now.
It was 40 years ago.
And he paid his debt.
I have forgiven him.
[EXHALES]
How noble, Jamie. That's just great.
Do you think the voters of Montana
are going to forgive him too?
The voters of Montana
don't need to know.
How can someone so brilliant
be so fucking stupid?
Your birth certificate
becomes public record
when you run for office.
The RNC will run a background check
with the sole goal of digging up dirt
and you just gave them a pile.
Not to mention what your father
plans to do with this information.
I have a plan for that.
The only plan is to put as much distance
between you and him as you can.
If you have any interest
in being governor,
get him out of your house
and get him out of your life.
[MUSIC]
She's not wrong, son.
If I'm going to be a
liability for you
maybe I better just make
myself scarce for a while.
I don't want you to do that.
I know you don't.
But you just think about
all the times in your life
where what you wanted was
the worst thing for you.
[MUSIC]
[LAUGHS]
Not used to seeing you come
in through the front door.
Yeah. Might be the first time.
Drug a few in through the
back, though, didn't we?
That we did.
Who's Watch Commander?
Ramsey, till the end of the day.
He retiring?
Appointed him interim sheriff.
Not Sam?
Not Sam.
[BUZZER SOUNDS]
Thanks.
John, how are you?
Well, I'm breathing, Bill.
At this point, I don't need a statement
from you beyond what we have.
County attorney is compiling
witness statements,
and that's gonna take a while.
Not why I'm here.
May I sit?
Please.
Against my better judgment,
I'm looking into this case
against Summer Higgins.
Two felony assault against
peace officer charges,
on two separate occasions
which makes it habitual.
There's criminal trespass,
reckless endangerment,
resisting arrest.
Life in prison, Bill?
I'm not the prosecutor, John.
[LAUGHS]
May I see her?
She's a family friend of sorts.
She's in with the public defender now.
Want to sit in with them?
If I could.
149263 in Interview One.
Ask the inmate if she would
like John Dutton to join them.
So, Sheriff.
Interim sheriff.
We both know where that leads.
Big shoes to fill.
You think so?
Don't you?
Donnie was a gambling
addict and an alcoholic
who only protected and
served the highest bidder.
He was a father.
Half the men in my jail are fathers.
[PHONE RINGS]
On our way.
I know where it is.
Things will be different
with me in charge.
New rules, huh?
Still the old rules.
But now they'll be enforced.
Oh.
So the county can sleep good tonight.
I will ask that both Class
B felonies be dropped.
- [KNOCKS]
- In exchange,
we don't contest class D
reckless endangerment.
Pull up a seat.
The felony criminal trespass will
likely be dropped to a misdemeanor.
I didn't assault him, I pushed him back.
That's assault.
Well, technically, it's battery.
Do you want to try the case?
It is termed "assault"
before this court.
They're making an example of
me, that's what they're doing.
It's exactly what they're doing.
And we need to let them,
just a little.
Because there's no jury
of your peers here.
Your peers are in Portland.
And in Portland, he may be the
enemy or I may be the enemy,
but here?
The enemy is you.
We don't want to go before a jury.
Let me go try and plea this down.
Can I talk to him for a minute, please?
I'll be outside.
I can't believe this is happening.
Yeah. Well, it's happening.
- Do you know the judge?
- I know the judge.
Can you talk to him?
Let's Let's save that card.
They're asking for life.
- That'll come down.
- To what? 30 years?
I'm going to do three decades in prison?
My God, I mean That's
makes you the last guy I fuck
for thirty years!
[LAUGHS]
Go ahead, you just, uh
you just bang away at the old ego.
That's not what I mean, I just
[CLEARS THROAT] Ugh!
- All I did was
- All you did
was assault two police officers.
And broke a bunch of other laws.
This ain't New York,
Summer, and it ain't L.A.
Our jails aren't overcrowded,
there's plenty of room.
And we are not afraid to fill them.
But you're not a criminal.
You got so mad you broke the law.
And they're mad as hell you did it.
But you're not a criminal,
they know that.
Now let them know you're sorry.
I'm not sorry.
Okay, well, you
you'd better get sorry,
and real quick, young lady.
You be mad at the world when you're free
and far away from here.
I should have never
listened to your daughter.
What do you mean?
She's the one who told
me to protest here.
She said, "Take one for the team.
Make some noise. Make the news."
Well, I made the news, and
I don't see my fucking team.
This was Beth's idea?
Yeah, she's not wrong, I mean
putting an airport next to
a national park is barbaric,
but it wasn't my idea to
slap the first cop I saw.
It was hers.
[SIGHS]
I'm going to get you out of this.
I promise.
And when I make a promise,
it means something.
What do you think, cooler
heads gonna prevail here?
Not seeing many cool heads.
They are in a "nip it in
the bud" kind of mood.
I'm going to offer a big
suspended sentence
15, 20 years, something
that says to them
"She's never coming back."
[SNIFFS] Maybe I'll have
a word with the judge.
I don't know. That
always makes it worse.
Yeah, well, you can only ask
for favors if you're owed one.
And he owes me one.
[MUSIC]
How many times have you seen it?
Four.
What happens after?
After what?
In your life.
What happens in your life
after the moment you see it?
First time, I was with my wife.
Second time, the governor came,
asked me to take the appointment
for Livestock Commissioner.
Then I was with my wife again.
Then the other night.
When you see the wolf
and your wife together,
what are you doing?
I'm gonna plead the fifth on that one.
Last time I saw it,
she came out and told
me she was pregnant.
The wolf is our protector.
Your spirit animal.
Because in your heart,
you're part wolf, too.
But carrying the wolf is a burden.
He is the hunter most hunted.
The killer most killed.
Man and wolf evolved together.
We form packs like they do.
We raid territories like they do.
Destroy their enemies like we do.
And we have tried everything
in our power to destroy them.
Before guns and bows,
they tried everything to destroy us.
It is said the wolf exists to
manage the spread of man
and man exists to manage
the spread of the wolf.
So if we're supposed to
destroy each other
why is one protecting me?
I don't know.
You'll have to ask the wolf.
[MUSIC]
How do I do that?
Hanbleceya.
Cry for a vision.
If you cry hard enough,
he might tell you.
I don't know how.
Your wife knows how.
I know how.
When you're ready, we'll teach you.
I'm ready.

What are you doing here?
What are you doing here,

How am I cheating on you,
you're still my waitress.
You didn't know I worked here too.
That means you were gonna let
some other hussy bring you lunch.
Yeah. Little early to be
flirting, now, idn't it?
It's a little too early
to follow through,
but it's never too early to flirt.
- Usual?
- Yeah.
[JUKEBOX PLAYING]
Last time I saw you,
a judge gave you life.
Guess life don't mean
what it used to, does it?
I spent 30 years
inside a concrete box
fighting to survive,
fighting to stay sane,
praying that a bird
would fly by my window
so I'd have proof of some better place
than the hell you put me in.
Naw, you you put yourself in it.
You didn't deserve the bird.
You could've told the truth.
You could've told them
what she'd become
She became what you made her.
And then you killed her for it.
I raised your son with love and respect,
and I made him what he is today.
If he chooses to let you
unmake it, I can't stop that.
But if your plan is to get me back
for what you did to yourself,
I will treat you like everyone
else who showed up
with the same idea,
and I will rid the fucking world of you.

Really, no segue at all? Just
straight to the serious stuff?
Not serious. Just curious.
I think that she liked
the potential in me.
I never really got it. Sure
as hell didn't live up to it.
But it seems like you like
me for who I am right now.
I do.
My standards are low.
[LAUGHS]
I think it's hard to lose someone
who thinks you let them down
'cause there's no way
to prove 'em wrong.
Even if you do, they
ain't around to see it.
But I ain't here to set
standards for you.
Gotta set those for yourself.
Yeah, I wish you weren't leaving.

Feels good to miss
someone again, though.
Yeah. It does.

but it is not cowboying.
The best ride of my life,
the best cow I ever
worked was in a field
in San Saba, Texas, and nobody saw it.
Not a soul.
So your old timer was right.
Mine was a steer that didn't
want to cross the Wichita.
I know the river, and I know
the steer. [CHUCKLES]
Hey, guys, they're
bringing in Metallic Cat.
Oh, shit.
Come with me, Jimmy,
this will interest you.
ANNOUNCER: The 2021
NRCHA Snaffle Bit Futurity
is sponsored by the
leading sire in the NCHA
and NRCHA with over 37
million in offspring earnings.
Let's have a big Ft. Worth welcome
for the NCHA stallion of the year,
- Metallic Cat.
- [CHEERING]
Owned in partnership
with the Rocking P. Ranch
in Ft. Worth, Texas and the
Yellowstone Dutton ranch
in Paradise Valley, Montana.
Wait, the Yellowstone
bought Metallic Cat?
Half owners.
If you're wanting to get
into this game, buddy,
you're gonna have your
pick of the litter.
I'm gonna have you drive
him back when we're done.
- Wait, when are we heading back?
- Right after the dispersal sale.
School's over, Jimmy, and
you came out of it a cowboy.
Hey, Travis, we're going
to the bar. You coming?
Oh, shit, you don't
have to ask me twice.
[MUSIC]
You weren't supposed to be here yet.
Don't look too happy to see me.
The Sixes is sending me back to Montana.
My contract's up.
If it's up, they can't
send you anywhere.
Just try the Pitchfork.
Hell, it's next door.
I love how thirty miles away
is next door here. No, I
I owe him.
John Dutton. I gave him my word.
I respect that.
Hate hearing it, but I respect it.
Man, life refuses to play fair.
Ain't played fair with me yet.
Me neither.
We'd better rip this
band-aid off quick then.
Goodbye, Jimmy.
[MUSIC]
Thanks.
We're eating in the dining room tonight.
Why are we eating in the dining room?
'Cause I like eating in here.
But you and I aren't
going to like this dinner.
Shall we?
Not on your life, sweetheart.
Tell you what? Let's go
around to the bunkhouse
and we see what the boys are
making for supper. Come on.
Discretion's the better part of valor.
Ain't that the fucking truth.
Well, Beth, you have a good time, hon.
Quitter.
[LAUGHS] Come find me
after your ass whipping.
You forget who you're marrying?
There's always a bigger bear, darling.
[MUSIC]
Have a seat.
I fight standing.
- This isn't a fight.
- The fuck it's not.
Come on, let me have it.
If you were one of my sons
You'd what? Brand me? Fight me? Huh?
Don't treat me any different.
You want to brawl, let's brawl.
You done?
Or you need a little more time to
psych yourself into being right.
Or are you just throwing
a tantrum for no reason
because if this wants to be a contest
about who can lose their
composure the most,
I will put this table
through the fucking wall.
Or you and I can sit down and
have a conversation like adults.
You used that girl.
You used her and now
she's facing prison.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, that's life in the Serengeti, Dad.
What we do to our enemies
we do to our enemies.
That woman is not our enemy.
The thought was complete
before you mentioned the woman.
I do anything to hurt our enemies, Dad.
If I hurt others, so be it.
I don't care. I don't care
if she dies in prison.
I don't care if she gets out.
I do not fucking care, okay?
I care about you, I care about Kayce,
I care about Rip.
Well, if you care about them,
then you need to care
about having some morality
in the way you fight.
There's no such thing. Not in a kingdom.
And that's what this is.
There is no morality here, Dad, none.
There is keep the kingdom or
there is lose the kingdom.
Or break your fucking promise, Dad.
Break it and sell this place.
Take the money, buy up half of Oklahoma
and run cattle for the
next 20 generations
where no one gives a fuck
about you or your land.
My kingdom, my rules.
We fight with dignity. You aren't.
You start or find another fight.
What does that mean?
I'm saying no more collateral
damage, you understand me?
We don't kill sheep. We kill wolves.
What you did was cruel, honey.
Because you fucked her, it's cruel?
Did you do it because I fucked her?
Because that is cruel.
Goddam, Beth, I never thought I'd
feel this way about you before,
but you have really
disappointed me, honey.
And I never thought
I'd say that about you.
Me neither.
You know, maybe it's best
if I fight this alone.
Maybe it's best if you go
somewhere else while I do it.
This is my home.
Might be time to find another one.
[TELEVISION BLARING]
[SIGHS]
Got 'em all sorted, huh?
- Yep.
- Sale's done?
[SNIFFS] Yep.
Goodbyes are too hard, Jimmy.
That's why I said it quick.
Let's not do this.
I'm not saying goodbye.
I'm keeping you.
I'll day work, I'll do
what I have to do.
Can't let you break your word over me.
It'll be the thing that breaks
us, then you'll have nothing.
Keep your word.
Then come back to me.
If you ask me to wait, I'll wait.
Wait for me.
Okay.

[MUSIC]
[SNIFFS]
Gotta be honest.
Not sure I believe in all this.
It sure believes in you.
Hey
Wherever something
good's trying to happen,
something bad is trying to stop it.
Your only safe place is
inside your prayer ties.
Your only protection is the pipe.
Everything else around
you could be evil.
Beware the coyote,
he is the trickster and
cannot be trusted.
How long is Hanbleceya?
Four days and four nights.
No food. No water.
- No water?
- None.
I'll die.
You must stand on the cliff of death
to understand your purpose in life.
It's the only place
where you can see it.
She's a good woman.
Better than I deserve.
God doesn't work like that.
He would never let her love
someone who didn't deserve her.
[CHANTING]
[MUSIC]
I feel kinda silly.
Listen to Mo.
Do what he says exactly as he says it.
I love you.
See you in a few days.
[MUSIC]
[MUSIC]
MO: Use the sage to
keep bad spirits off.
Use the sweet grass to
call your spirit helpers in.
Smoke the pipe when
you pray. Understand?
You'll be surprised how
quickly you'll replay
all your moments in life in your mind.
And then what?
When you are without memories,
without regrets to ponder,
without fantasies to
embrace or to reject,
what will you think of then?
What will come to you
depends on how hard you pray
and how much you suffer.
Close him in, Mo.
How will you know when I'm done?
How will you know, Kayce?
That is the question.
