Yellowstone (2018–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - One Hundred Years Is Nothing - full transcript
John Dutton is sworn in as Governor of Montana; as John settles into the powers of his new office, he makes bold moves to protect the Yellowstone from his opponents
Previously on Yellowstone:
- I know who tried to kill me.
Officer down! We
got an officer down!
- You're father will instantly
say it was your idea.
- You're a good man,
son, and I love ya.
-Now you own him, Daddy.
Summer Higgins has been charged
with felony aggravated assault.
- You will be eligible
for parole in 14 years.
- It's a long fight
and it starts now.
- I got 'em.
- Look who went off
and become a cowboy.
- Texas was good for you.
You don't owe me a thing.
- Thank you, sir.
- What's your name?
- Carter.
- I think he might
be our kid, baby.
- I, Rip Wheeler,
take Beth Dutton
to be my lawful wedded bride.
- When you see the wolf
and your wife together
what are you doing?
She told me she's pregnant.
- Cry for her vision.
- What did you see?
- I saw the end of us.
I don't care how much we spend.
I'm gonna chop down every
tree and dam every creek.
And you are going to prison.
It is my great honor to
introduce you to my choice
as the next governor
of Montana...
John Dutton.
I am the opposite of progress.
I am the wall that
it bashes against
and I will not be
the one who breaks.
Tears is how I feel.
- They're tears of joy, daddy.
- Well, joy ain't
what I'm feeling.
Yeah.
- Yeah. Well, he's right here.
I wanna listen.
- Hello, Scott.
- You ran a good campaign.
I congratulate you...
- Thank you.
- I hope you'll fight as
hard for my supporters
as you fight for yours.
- I fight for what's right.
I don't really...
care who supports it.
- Okay, well... I drink
a toast to you, sir.
And please, try to keep
all of Montana in mind
when you're facing
those tough decisions.
- That's the plan.
- Enjoy the night. It's yours.
I want to watch that.
You're gonna have to
make a speech after.
I'll come get you.
- Bring me a drink, would you?
- After your speech, I'm
pouring you a double.
This just in, CBS now projecting
John Dutton winning the
race for Montana's governor
with 53 percent of the vote.
Much closer than
expected in some circles,
but the rejection of what projected
winner John Dutton Beth: Thank you.
Labeled East Coast politics
invading the mountains
has now been soundly
defeated on all fronts.
- That's right. Now,
let's head over to
the campaign headquarters
of gubernatorial candidate
Scott McMullen, who is planning
to speak at the podium.
- I have spoken John Dutton
and I congratulated him
on a well-run campaign...
I've conceded the
election to Mister Dutton.
He's now our governor.
And, uh, he's promised to
represent all of Montana.
And we are going to hold
him to that promise.
You know, when I moved to
Montana nine years ago,
I fell in love.
I fell in love
with its mountains
Its rivers, its big skies.
I fell in love with its
people. Its people...
My goal with this campaign
was to protect those things.
But now we're just going to
have to trust Governor Dutton
to do the same and to
hold him to account
if he veers from that purpose.
Hold him to account!
- We've taken our last
call from you, buddy.
You can go back to New York, and
take those fucking babies with you.
- Clearly, a conciliatory speech
before a dejected
group of supporters.
We now want to head over to
the campaign headquarters
of John Dutton.
- It's time, Daddy.
Four years start now!
Four years start now!
Short. Sweet. To the point.
Less than two minutes.
Then the whole thing
is a sound bite.
- I think he's mastered the art
of not wearing out his welcome.
- I'll speak, then
introduce you.
- You know, there's
two Senators,
there's only one Governor.
- Then we'll do it together.
- Hey.
Um, congratulations.
To the both of you.
Montana is in a better place
today than it was yesterday.
I mean that.
Would you allow me the
honor of introducing you
to your constituents?
- The honor is ours, Jamie.
Well, that was very big of him.
I know how much your
office meant to him.
- He's not doing it for you.
He's doing it to
get on the stage.
- Aren't we all, Beth?
- Let's go.
- Wow, wow!
Well, the future
of Montana is here.
The future of Montana is today.
The future of Montana is
a fifth generation rancher
whose family moved
here six years
before Montana became a state.
It is fitting that
a founding member
of this state a century
later, now leads it.
And defending you in
Washington is another
fifth generation rancher
who has served Montana
in the house of representatives,
and two terms as your governor.
Allow me the honor
of introducing
your next Governor John Dutton
and U.S. Senator Lynelle Perry.
- Well, the open bar
was my daughter's idea.
I see it worked.
We have a lot of work to do.
And a lot of work to undo.
The question we
all have to answer,
the one that I will
look to every day is...
what will Montana look
like in a hundred years?
Much of that is dictated by the
way the world sees us today.
Right now, we are seen as
the rich man's play thing.
We are New York's novelty
and California's toy.
Not anymore.
You've elected me to be
a steward of this state,
of its land, and its people,
and that's exactly
what I will be.
You know, environmentalists,
they just love to debate
what's Montana's most
valuable resource.
Is it the water,
is it the wolves,
is it trees?
The answer is actually
pretty simple.
It's you.
The farmers and ranchers who
live with the land, not on it.
Protecting you
now is how Montana
still looks like Montana
when none of us here
tonight are here to see it.
Thank you.
How do you follow
that? I don't know.
Uh, ditto.
The wars that Montana
faces here at home,
those will be my
wars in Washington.
- Is this a good
thing or a bad thing?
- He'll kill the hotel.
He'll kill the airport.
It's a good thing
for the land...
But I don't see how
it's good for us.
Not yet anyway.
- That's it.
This fucking family!
- Caroline.
- I told you to go
after the daughter.
And now he's governor... he
will shut us down on day one.
- Caroline.
Look at him.
His father is the governor.
He'll be next.
Should be the happiest
day of his life.
So why isn't he smiling?
- Get Sarah Atwood out here.
- You sure?
- We're taking the
gloves off, Ellis.
I'm tired of playing with
these fucking hillbillies.
- You're really embracing
this low-man thing.
- I'm in no mood, Beth.
- Yeah, I wouldn't be either.
They even let you
ride a horse yet?
- They let me ride the buck
out of the two year-olds,
that's about it.
Some day I'm gonna be
top hand, you watch.
- Wow, so much ambition.
I mean, that's like dreaming of
running the grill at McDonald's.
- That's what it's like to you.
Still here?
- Barely.
I leave for college tomorrow.
Gonna study finance.
What's that?
- How to make money off
other people's money.
- Seems like quite the trick.
- Gonna find out.
You wanna go out?
- Out?
- A date. Before I leave.
- Beth, you leave tomorrow.
- Your window's closing.
- I'll be done in
a couple hours.
- Meet you at the barn.
- What the hell is
that? What is that?
- Gotta get you a
felt hat for town.
- Yeah, with all my extra money.
Welcome back. Here we go.
- Where you headed?
- Out.
- Not one good thing
happens in town, Rip.
Not one good thing.
- We'll see.
- Four a.m. comes early.
- When did his balls drop?
- Today, I guess.
- I'll let you play "man".
You do know how to
drive, don't you?
R means reverse, D means...
- I know what they mean.
This should be interesting.
Ever been here before?
- I ain't been nowhere before.
- This is where everybody comes.
Hope your father
don't come here.
My father doesn't go anywhere.
You want to slide down for me?
They have a great martini.
You like martinis?
- Don't know what one is.
- Educating you is
going to be fun.
- Evening. Can I get
you something to drink?
- Vodka martini, three olives.
You want a beer?
- Just water.
- You have I.D.?
- I have two.
- You like that martini dirty?
- What do you think?
- You got your
hands full, buddy.
- That bother you?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- You let him look
at you like...
- Like what, like
he wants to fuck me?
You look at me that way.
So does every man on
earth to every woman
they find attractive,
and some they don't.
I can be a victim of
it, or a beneficiary.
I choose the latter.
- I don't know what the
hell you're talking about.
Yeah, you do.
You may be stronger than
me, but make no mistake...
Men are the weaker sex.
- You're doing it again.
- What am I doing?
- Saying shit I
don't understand.
- You understand it, you just
don't want it to be true.
- I don't want to
fight with you...
- Then stop acting like a pussy.
I'm not yours to
be jealous over.
- This was a mistake.
- Looking that way.
- I think we should leave.
- You go. I'll
find my own way.
- I can't just leave you
here with no way home.
- Look, your options
are enjoy dinner or go.
But deciding what I do is
not one of your choices.
- I'll thumb a ride.
Where you going?
- Don't know. Back to
the ranch, I guess.
- Where's your ride?
- Ride's staying here.
- Listen, if she's bucking
that hard from the beginning,
smartest thing you can
do is just jump off.
- You're gonna walk back?
- Ain't got much choice.
- Hell, come have
a beer with us.
- Ain't in the mood.
- All right. Take this
truck back to the ranch.
We'll clown car our way back.
- You sure?
- Ain't nuthin', pard.
- See you back at the ranch.
- Thanks.
- You're up early.
- Yeah, big day.
- When's that getting started?
- Around five, I think.
- Is he going to be
able to stick around?
- I need him back in
Helena tomorrow so...
- We're calving, Beth.
When is he coming back?
- In four years. Maybe eight.
- Okay.
You want some coffee?
- I'm sorry.
- What did you do?
- Nothing recently, but...
For what I did then, I'm sorry.
When then, Beth?
- This is a sort of
a... blanket apology to
generally, you know,
cover the past.
- The past.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Like everything
before right now.
- That's what I'm sorry for.
- Mm.
- Honey...
and I mean this with love,
but it's way too
early for this shit.
- I was fucking awful to you.
I was terrible, and I...
If it is any consolation,
I was worse on myself.
- You know what your problem is?
It's this.
It's almost as big as this.
And I'm the only one that
knows that you have this,
but you do, and
baby, it's big...
But when this gets going and
then this gets going too...
- I robbed us of so much time
together, because I was...
It's still robbing us.
- Whatever it
took, I don't need.
I'm happy, Beth.
With you. With life.
Everything's good.
- But we needed what it took.
That's ok.
- Come here.
Baby...
You need to find
somebody new to fight,
or you're gonna sit
around this house
and you're just gonna beat
the shit out of yourself.
Okay?
You did put me
through hell, though.
- Yeah.
- But you're all mine now
though, aren't you? Hm?
- Every last fucking inch of me.
- You need to let
yourself be happy.
That's the goal for you today.
I want you to find something
that makes you happy.
Can you do that for me?
- Vodka makes me happy.
- Come on, now, I mean it.
- I promise. I will find
something that makes me happy.
- I love you.
See you in a bit.
- Jesus Christ.
Can you believe this
fucking shit show?
- It's gonna be quite a party.
- The party ain't for us, Lloyd.
We got calves on the ground.
Take that shit and go
around the other side.
Listen up.
You see a coyote prowling our
calves I want you to shoot it.
You see a wolf prowling
one of our calves,
I want you to shoot it.
If you see a bear let's
try to haze him off.
Now if he's on a
carcass, we call it in.
Just take a picture with your
phones. Let's go to work.
- Why not shoot it?
- Take a picture and run it off.
You can't shoot a bear unless
he's chasing livestock.
- Makes no fucking sense.
- You know, politicians
are always talking
about feeding the poor.
That breakfast
buffet could do it.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, in half an hour,
this entire room is going
to be filled with your staff.
- Yeah.
- And they're going to eat
and they're going to discuss
the issues of the day.
And then they will scheme
and barter and bargain
to decide which issues
deserve your attention.
- Yeah.
You have no friends in
this building, John.
You're going to need
to bring your own.
- And I could kill you for
putting me in this building
with my bare hands, Lynelle.
- You offered. I
wanted your son.
I could've controlled
him, you know.
Now, I gotta deal with you.
- Well, I'm... I'm
pretty easy to bribe.
- Oh, I'm well aware.
Every time I want a
bill pushed through
I'm going to find
myself in a coat closet.
It's going to be an
interesting four years.
- Four years is a long time.
This is not where
I want to spend it.
- Are you going to
run again in 2026?
- Not on your life.
- All right. Think about
the power in that, John:
a governor that doesn't
care about being re-elected.
That doesn't have to make
friends with his enemies
for some future compromise.
You don't have to
compromise at all.
You can build a legal
wall around this state.
And maybe in the
next hundred years,
this place looks the same.
But in the meantime, you
have a friend in Washington.
And you're gonna need one.
- Hold 'em up. Hold 'em up.
Shit.
Move 'em! Move 'em! Move 'em!
- What do we do?
- Get across the river! You
want to go to jail in America?
- Get back!
- Hey! You're on the wrong side!
- Get back!
Get back!
- On the other side, now.
Get back.
- You rode on our side!
- Yeah.
- You have no
authority on this side.
- Take care of him.
- Yep.
- Those horses
belong on this side.
- The thieves belong over here.
- They didn't make
it into Canada.
They haven't committed a
crime on that side yet.
- Yeah, they didn't
commit this crime.
They committed plenty others.
We trade.
- They didn't look too
worried about Canadian prison.
They seemed pretty worried
about ours, though.
You want a feather in your cap
or do you wanna see these
sons of bitches in prison
for the next ten years?
- Sergeant, bring
the horses across.
- Great. Now we
gotta herd them up.
- It might be the wild west
on that side,
but on this side rules are the
foundation of order,
and order holds the flanks
of a civilized society.
- Yeah. It's also
how you herd sheep.
- You calling us sheep?
- I didn't call you nuthin'.
You said it yourself.
- What a shit show.
- It's a show. That's a fact.
But it's our show now.
What are you going to do first?
- What do you
think I'm gonna do?
- They're ready, Dad.
- Here we go.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
please be seated.
Mr. Dutton, face me and
raise your right hand.
Place your left
hand on the Bible.
I... State your name...
State your name.
State your name.
- Daddy?
- I, John Dutton...
- Do solemnly swear...
- Do solemnly swear...
- To uphold the Constitution
of the United States...
- To uphold the Constitution
of the United States...
- And the Constitution of
the State of Montana...
- And the Constitution of
the State of Montana...
- Against all enemies...
- Against all enemies...
- Foreign and domestic...
- Foreign and domestic.
Congratulations.
- You had a chance
to be rid of him.
You did nothing and
he grew stronger.
It's slave rules for you
now and it's all your fault.
- I present to you
the 26th Governor
of the great state of
Montana, John Dutton.
- Well, I am not a politician.
This was never my plan.
My only plan was to preserve
my family's way of life
and the land where they make it.
The fact that you're...
The fact that
you're sitting here,
the fact that you
voted for a man
who does not want this
job to lead this state,
means we share the same goals.
My first act as Governor
will be to cancel funding
for the Paradise
Valley airport project
and the surrounding commercial
and housing developments.
God isn't making any more land
and he certainly isn't
filling any more rivers.
Next I will propose
to the State Assembly
to double property
taxes for non-residents.
I will also add a 6
percent state sales tax
to all goods sold
for non-residents.
I will charge vehicle
registration fees
to non-residents.
The message is this: we
are not your playground,
we are not your haven from
the pollution and traffic
and mismanagement
of your home states.
This is our home.
Perhaps if you choose to
make Montana your home,
you will start
treating it like a home
and not a vacation rental.
Thank you.
- Did you know about this?
This is going to set the
state back thirty years.
- That's a pretty
good start, Jamie.
The plan is set
it back a hundred.
- I'm not even sure
he has the authority.
I'm not even sure it's legal.
- When did something being
legal bother you, Jamie? Hm?
If it isn't legal you're going
to help him make it legal.
You're gonna push
all this through.
I'm about to work you like
a rented mule, brother.
It's time for your
pound of flesh.
- Can you get me out of here?
- Yeah, let's go.
- Want a whiskey, Daddy?
- Why not?
- Can I get one of those?
- Go fuck yourself.
- Make your brother a whiskey.
- I. Will. Not.
- Here. Here.
- Make me another one.
- Dad, you should think twice
about canceling the
airport funding.
- Oh, shit, I've
thought plenty about it.
- It's five million
a year to the ranch.
For a ranch that loses
three... Do the math.
- You know, there's
other revenue streams
for the ranch, Jamie.
- Oh, name one.
- Well, I'm getting a
mil-five for the party.
- You're charging the
State a million dollars
for his inauguration party.
- Actually, I'm
charging his campaign.
- Oh, is that it? Well,
that's worse, Beth.
He can't benefit from
campaign funding,
that's how he gets impeached
on his first day in office.
- He's not benefitting
from it, Jamie.
A Utah LLC is
benefitting from it.
- We're all going to prison.
- You know, it is the
eighth wonder of the world
you aren't already there.
- Will you two just
shut the fuck up
and let me enjoy the
last hour of quiet
I'm gonna experience
in the next four years?
- This is all your fault.
- That's right.
This was never
supposed to be me.
It was supposed to be you.
- It could have been me.
It should've been me.
No.
- I could've won.
- Oh, of that I have,
uh, I have no doubt.
But then what?
You know, it must break my
wife's heart to look down
and see what a mess I
have made of this family.
What an embarrassment
we are to the sacrifice
it took to give us a home.
But I tell you what...
Sacrifice is exactly
what we are going to do.
It's what you're
going to do, Jamie.
You are going to
sacrifice your ambition.
You are going to
sacrifice your fear,
your weak, self-loathing heart.
You're going to kill all that
and you're going to get strong.
And no matter how it scares
you or how much you disagree,
you are going to do exactly
what the fuck I tell you
for the next four years.
Exactly.
Make no mistake, I love Montana,
But I am doing
this for our ranch.
We measure every decision
against what is
good for the ranch.
The ranch comes first.
Do you understand me?
- I understand.
- Always, Daddy.
- What's said between
us stays between us.
You understand?
- They sign confidentiality
agreements, Dad.
- I won't say a word, Governor.
Except this...
If I had your ranch,
I'd do the same thing.
- You make sure this is
my driver every time.
- Hey, how dressy is this, Dale?
- I don't know.
It's a party for the
fucking Governor.
So pretty dressy, I guess.
But since you don't
have any dresses
it doesn't really
matter how dressy it is.
- Screw you, I got dresses.
- You have dresses?
- I've got dresses.
- You have dresses?
- Is there a fucking
echo in here?
- Hey Teeter, Jake's
got dresses too
if you need to borrow one.
- That's a little
out of left field.
What the hell you
messing with me for?
- I'd love to see the dress
that Jake could fit into.
- Be about the size of
a fucking bed sheet.
- What the hell are
you all on my ass for?
- Ah, hell, Jake, something
frilly might look good on you.
You know? A little
lace in there.
- What the hell are
you laughing at?
- Hey.
I don't need you all drunk,
this party ain't for you.
Ethan, you want to tell me
what is so fucking funny?
- Jake's trying to pick
out his dress for tonight.
- His what?
- He wants to wear a dress, sir.
- He wants to wear...
Jake, hey, you got
a bet to settle,
you settle it somewhere else.
You put on a fucking dress
and go to the
Governor's ball tonight
I'm gonna hang you in
it, you understand me?
You understand
what I fucking say?
- I ain't wearing no damn dress.
- Just be... whoa,
whoa. Just behave.
Just behave.
And don't be an idiot.
Now let's go, put
your show shirts on.
Let's go. Get your
shit together.
- Go put your show dress on.
- Don't be an idiot, Jake.
- Now y'all got me in trouble.
- Gosh damn, boys, look at this.
They ought to have a party
like this every year.
- Actually, Jake, they
throw it every four years
when there's a new governor.
- Well, excuse me for not
studying government in college.
- The Diesel Academy
is not a college.
- The more you talk to him,
the more he talks back.
Just in case you haven't
caught on to the pattern.
- They is on your ass tonight.
- He's being a prick.
Look at this here, guys.
Hey, can I get a double Buffalo
Trace on the rocks, please?
How much do I owe you?
- It's an open bar, sir.
- Uh, could you make
another one of those?
- Two.
- Three.
- Four.
- Five, please.
- I get the picture.
- Hell, while you're making em.
- How bout I just make one
for anybody in a cowboy hat?
- That'll work.
Hey, it's the Bar M boys.
Hey, Stetson, what do ya know.
- I don't know it.
I do know there's a
cowboy in the Capitol.
Look at all this...
- It's gonna be hell to
clean up tomorrow, I bet.
- Ryan.
- Stet.
- Hope they don't make us
sit in there and eat supper.
I'll never figure
out them damn forks.
- Well, you know what?
They can't make us do nothing
if they can't find us, huh?
Come on, guys.
- Best news I've heard all day.
- Hi. Hi, how you been?
Great to see you.
Hi, thanks for coming.
I really appreciate it.
Hi.
More like a wedding reception
than your first
night in office, huh?
- My wedding reception
was in my living room
with thirty people.
This looks like exactly
what it is: work.
- Hi, so nice to see you.
- Congratulations.
- Well, this is more
like a wedding reception
than you think, because
you are married to Montana
for better or for worse.
- Yeah, so everyone
keeps telling me.
- All right, I'm gonna wander.
- Wait. You're not gonna eat?
- In this dress? Are
you fucking kidding me?
I'll see you later.
Have a good night.
- You know, I took over running
this ranch from my father
when I was... 34 years-old.
For the next thirty years
I never spent one night
away from this place
until this year.
First time I've been
here in a month.
What's up, everybody, we are
Shane Smith and the Saints
from Austin, Texas.
We'd like to thank
Mr. Dutton and your family.
For having us and
congratulations.
We're going to play you a
dancing number now. that's ok.
Hey!
- That was rough.
- Oh! $20! $20!
- Oh, he's a dragger!
- I hate them draggers!
- That one yours?
- None of 'em are mine.
I'm too smart to date a cowboy.
I like looking at em though.
- You're wearing
an orange jumpsuit
with tassels, and you're
saying you're too smart?
- I sing later.
Gotta wear something
flashy on stage.
Something fun.
Crowd likes it.
- Well, mission accomplished.
Why no cowboys?
- 'Cause they'll always
love the life more.
And the horse more.
And the job more.
The rodeo more.
I wanna be first.
You do?
I prefer a man whose
life is already full.
That way he's got
something to share with me.
You know what I mean?
If I want blind adoration,
I'll get me a dog.
I'm gonna go sit
with my cowboy now.
- Ain't gonna work.
- What ain't gonna work?
- I'm just window shopping.
- Oh.
So no interest in a dance?
- None.
- You sure?
- I'm pretty sure.
- What if I insisted?
- How you plan on doing that?
That was pretty slick.
- One dance.
- One dance.
- What are you doing
hiding up here?
- Just keeping an eye on things.
Making sure
everybody's behaving.
Come on. We can
go have some fun.
- That party ain't for me, Beth.
Ain't for any of us.
- It is. It's for everyone.
- You know what?
I never think about what
happens a year from now
or ten years from now.
I always worried about today
with an eye on tomorrow.
But when I look
down there, Beth,
ten years worries me.
- He only became governor
so we don't have to worry
about the next ten years.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Nobody else
could've done that?
In this whole state. Nobody?
That's what worries me.
What was the, um...
the name of Emperor
that played the fiddle
when Rome was burning?
- Nero?
- This reminds me of that.
He's gonna lose this place.
Here.
I'm going to turn in.
I love you.
Yes, sir, we got them wrangled.
We're just sitting tight here.
All night if we have to, sir.
Okay, yes, sir.
I've talked to about
half of the owners.
They're sending out trucks.
The rest we can just
send back to Billings,
sort 'em out there.
- All right. Let me
talk to the wife.
- Okay.
- Hey. You coming home?
- Looks like we're going to
have to take these horses
back to Billings.
- Okay.
I'm thinking maybe I
should meet you there.
The cramps are getting worse.
- That's three weeks early.
- They're really bad, Kayce.
- Shit... I'm leaving now.
You don't think you can wait?
- I don't think I should.
- Okay, well, I don't
want you giving birth
on the side of the road.
I'll send an ambulance south,
okay, to meet you on the road.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Tate!
- Hey, Hendon, I'm meeting
Monica at the hospital.
- Yeah, I'll handle this. Go!
- You okay, Mom?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- You sure?
- Want me to drive, mama?
- You can't drive.
- I can drive better than this.
- It just comes in waves.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- Haven't seen you in a while.
It's Carter.
- I know who you are.
Jesus Christ, it's been a while.
- You want me to saddle one?
- Wish I had the
time, but I don't.
- You're the Governor now.
- Yep.
- The big man.
- So they say.
- I miss our rides.
- Yeah, I miss 'em too.
We'll do 'em again.
Quit eating the fertilizer.
- Huh?
- Quit growing.
- Why?
- Because it... Because
it freaks me out.
You're a living reminder of
how much time I don't have.
If you grow a
beard, you're fired.
- No beards. Got it.
- Take me to Helena.
- We need to go to Billings.
- Why, what's in Billings?
- I had a brother.
For an hour, anyway.
- A brother, huh?
- John.
- John?
- They named him John.
Next time on an
all-new Yellowstone...
You could be a really
good leader, John,
but if you don't play the game
the game plays you.
Hey, when he says jump,
you don't ask how high.
You just start hoppin'.
You are signing a
declaration of war.
Market Equities will
not just go away.
This will be a fight.
A big one.
You don't tell a soul.
This never happened.
- I know who tried to kill me.
Officer down! We
got an officer down!
- You're father will instantly
say it was your idea.
- You're a good man,
son, and I love ya.
-Now you own him, Daddy.
Summer Higgins has been charged
with felony aggravated assault.
- You will be eligible
for parole in 14 years.
- It's a long fight
and it starts now.
- I got 'em.
- Look who went off
and become a cowboy.
- Texas was good for you.
You don't owe me a thing.
- Thank you, sir.
- What's your name?
- Carter.
- I think he might
be our kid, baby.
- I, Rip Wheeler,
take Beth Dutton
to be my lawful wedded bride.
- When you see the wolf
and your wife together
what are you doing?
She told me she's pregnant.
- Cry for her vision.
- What did you see?
- I saw the end of us.
I don't care how much we spend.
I'm gonna chop down every
tree and dam every creek.
And you are going to prison.
It is my great honor to
introduce you to my choice
as the next governor
of Montana...
John Dutton.
I am the opposite of progress.
I am the wall that
it bashes against
and I will not be
the one who breaks.
Tears is how I feel.
- They're tears of joy, daddy.
- Well, joy ain't
what I'm feeling.
Yeah.
- Yeah. Well, he's right here.
I wanna listen.
- Hello, Scott.
- You ran a good campaign.
I congratulate you...
- Thank you.
- I hope you'll fight as
hard for my supporters
as you fight for yours.
- I fight for what's right.
I don't really...
care who supports it.
- Okay, well... I drink
a toast to you, sir.
And please, try to keep
all of Montana in mind
when you're facing
those tough decisions.
- That's the plan.
- Enjoy the night. It's yours.
I want to watch that.
You're gonna have to
make a speech after.
I'll come get you.
- Bring me a drink, would you?
- After your speech, I'm
pouring you a double.
This just in, CBS now projecting
John Dutton winning the
race for Montana's governor
with 53 percent of the vote.
Much closer than
expected in some circles,
but the rejection of what projected
winner John Dutton Beth: Thank you.
Labeled East Coast politics
invading the mountains
has now been soundly
defeated on all fronts.
- That's right. Now,
let's head over to
the campaign headquarters
of gubernatorial candidate
Scott McMullen, who is planning
to speak at the podium.
- I have spoken John Dutton
and I congratulated him
on a well-run campaign...
I've conceded the
election to Mister Dutton.
He's now our governor.
And, uh, he's promised to
represent all of Montana.
And we are going to hold
him to that promise.
You know, when I moved to
Montana nine years ago,
I fell in love.
I fell in love
with its mountains
Its rivers, its big skies.
I fell in love with its
people. Its people...
My goal with this campaign
was to protect those things.
But now we're just going to
have to trust Governor Dutton
to do the same and to
hold him to account
if he veers from that purpose.
Hold him to account!
- We've taken our last
call from you, buddy.
You can go back to New York, and
take those fucking babies with you.
- Clearly, a conciliatory speech
before a dejected
group of supporters.
We now want to head over to
the campaign headquarters
of John Dutton.
- It's time, Daddy.
Four years start now!
Four years start now!
Short. Sweet. To the point.
Less than two minutes.
Then the whole thing
is a sound bite.
- I think he's mastered the art
of not wearing out his welcome.
- I'll speak, then
introduce you.
- You know, there's
two Senators,
there's only one Governor.
- Then we'll do it together.
- Hey.
Um, congratulations.
To the both of you.
Montana is in a better place
today than it was yesterday.
I mean that.
Would you allow me the
honor of introducing you
to your constituents?
- The honor is ours, Jamie.
Well, that was very big of him.
I know how much your
office meant to him.
- He's not doing it for you.
He's doing it to
get on the stage.
- Aren't we all, Beth?
- Let's go.
- Wow, wow!
Well, the future
of Montana is here.
The future of Montana is today.
The future of Montana is
a fifth generation rancher
whose family moved
here six years
before Montana became a state.
It is fitting that
a founding member
of this state a century
later, now leads it.
And defending you in
Washington is another
fifth generation rancher
who has served Montana
in the house of representatives,
and two terms as your governor.
Allow me the honor
of introducing
your next Governor John Dutton
and U.S. Senator Lynelle Perry.
- Well, the open bar
was my daughter's idea.
I see it worked.
We have a lot of work to do.
And a lot of work to undo.
The question we
all have to answer,
the one that I will
look to every day is...
what will Montana look
like in a hundred years?
Much of that is dictated by the
way the world sees us today.
Right now, we are seen as
the rich man's play thing.
We are New York's novelty
and California's toy.
Not anymore.
You've elected me to be
a steward of this state,
of its land, and its people,
and that's exactly
what I will be.
You know, environmentalists,
they just love to debate
what's Montana's most
valuable resource.
Is it the water,
is it the wolves,
is it trees?
The answer is actually
pretty simple.
It's you.
The farmers and ranchers who
live with the land, not on it.
Protecting you
now is how Montana
still looks like Montana
when none of us here
tonight are here to see it.
Thank you.
How do you follow
that? I don't know.
Uh, ditto.
The wars that Montana
faces here at home,
those will be my
wars in Washington.
- Is this a good
thing or a bad thing?
- He'll kill the hotel.
He'll kill the airport.
It's a good thing
for the land...
But I don't see how
it's good for us.
Not yet anyway.
- That's it.
This fucking family!
- Caroline.
- I told you to go
after the daughter.
And now he's governor... he
will shut us down on day one.
- Caroline.
Look at him.
His father is the governor.
He'll be next.
Should be the happiest
day of his life.
So why isn't he smiling?
- Get Sarah Atwood out here.
- You sure?
- We're taking the
gloves off, Ellis.
I'm tired of playing with
these fucking hillbillies.
- You're really embracing
this low-man thing.
- I'm in no mood, Beth.
- Yeah, I wouldn't be either.
They even let you
ride a horse yet?
- They let me ride the buck
out of the two year-olds,
that's about it.
Some day I'm gonna be
top hand, you watch.
- Wow, so much ambition.
I mean, that's like dreaming of
running the grill at McDonald's.
- That's what it's like to you.
Still here?
- Barely.
I leave for college tomorrow.
Gonna study finance.
What's that?
- How to make money off
other people's money.
- Seems like quite the trick.
- Gonna find out.
You wanna go out?
- Out?
- A date. Before I leave.
- Beth, you leave tomorrow.
- Your window's closing.
- I'll be done in
a couple hours.
- Meet you at the barn.
- What the hell is
that? What is that?
- Gotta get you a
felt hat for town.
- Yeah, with all my extra money.
Welcome back. Here we go.
- Where you headed?
- Out.
- Not one good thing
happens in town, Rip.
Not one good thing.
- We'll see.
- Four a.m. comes early.
- When did his balls drop?
- Today, I guess.
- I'll let you play "man".
You do know how to
drive, don't you?
R means reverse, D means...
- I know what they mean.
This should be interesting.
Ever been here before?
- I ain't been nowhere before.
- This is where everybody comes.
Hope your father
don't come here.
My father doesn't go anywhere.
You want to slide down for me?
They have a great martini.
You like martinis?
- Don't know what one is.
- Educating you is
going to be fun.
- Evening. Can I get
you something to drink?
- Vodka martini, three olives.
You want a beer?
- Just water.
- You have I.D.?
- I have two.
- You like that martini dirty?
- What do you think?
- You got your
hands full, buddy.
- That bother you?
- Yeah.
- Why?
- You let him look
at you like...
- Like what, like
he wants to fuck me?
You look at me that way.
So does every man on
earth to every woman
they find attractive,
and some they don't.
I can be a victim of
it, or a beneficiary.
I choose the latter.
- I don't know what the
hell you're talking about.
Yeah, you do.
You may be stronger than
me, but make no mistake...
Men are the weaker sex.
- You're doing it again.
- What am I doing?
- Saying shit I
don't understand.
- You understand it, you just
don't want it to be true.
- I don't want to
fight with you...
- Then stop acting like a pussy.
I'm not yours to
be jealous over.
- This was a mistake.
- Looking that way.
- I think we should leave.
- You go. I'll
find my own way.
- I can't just leave you
here with no way home.
- Look, your options
are enjoy dinner or go.
But deciding what I do is
not one of your choices.
- I'll thumb a ride.
Where you going?
- Don't know. Back to
the ranch, I guess.
- Where's your ride?
- Ride's staying here.
- Listen, if she's bucking
that hard from the beginning,
smartest thing you can
do is just jump off.
- You're gonna walk back?
- Ain't got much choice.
- Hell, come have
a beer with us.
- Ain't in the mood.
- All right. Take this
truck back to the ranch.
We'll clown car our way back.
- You sure?
- Ain't nuthin', pard.
- See you back at the ranch.
- Thanks.
- You're up early.
- Yeah, big day.
- When's that getting started?
- Around five, I think.
- Is he going to be
able to stick around?
- I need him back in
Helena tomorrow so...
- We're calving, Beth.
When is he coming back?
- In four years. Maybe eight.
- Okay.
You want some coffee?
- I'm sorry.
- What did you do?
- Nothing recently, but...
For what I did then, I'm sorry.
When then, Beth?
- This is a sort of
a... blanket apology to
generally, you know,
cover the past.
- The past.
- Yeah.
- All right.
- Like everything
before right now.
- That's what I'm sorry for.
- Mm.
- Honey...
and I mean this with love,
but it's way too
early for this shit.
- I was fucking awful to you.
I was terrible, and I...
If it is any consolation,
I was worse on myself.
- You know what your problem is?
It's this.
It's almost as big as this.
And I'm the only one that
knows that you have this,
but you do, and
baby, it's big...
But when this gets going and
then this gets going too...
- I robbed us of so much time
together, because I was...
It's still robbing us.
- Whatever it
took, I don't need.
I'm happy, Beth.
With you. With life.
Everything's good.
- But we needed what it took.
That's ok.
- Come here.
Baby...
You need to find
somebody new to fight,
or you're gonna sit
around this house
and you're just gonna beat
the shit out of yourself.
Okay?
You did put me
through hell, though.
- Yeah.
- But you're all mine now
though, aren't you? Hm?
- Every last fucking inch of me.
- You need to let
yourself be happy.
That's the goal for you today.
I want you to find something
that makes you happy.
Can you do that for me?
- Vodka makes me happy.
- Come on, now, I mean it.
- I promise. I will find
something that makes me happy.
- I love you.
See you in a bit.
- Jesus Christ.
Can you believe this
fucking shit show?
- It's gonna be quite a party.
- The party ain't for us, Lloyd.
We got calves on the ground.
Take that shit and go
around the other side.
Listen up.
You see a coyote prowling our
calves I want you to shoot it.
You see a wolf prowling
one of our calves,
I want you to shoot it.
If you see a bear let's
try to haze him off.
Now if he's on a
carcass, we call it in.
Just take a picture with your
phones. Let's go to work.
- Why not shoot it?
- Take a picture and run it off.
You can't shoot a bear unless
he's chasing livestock.
- Makes no fucking sense.
- You know, politicians
are always talking
about feeding the poor.
That breakfast
buffet could do it.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, in half an hour,
this entire room is going
to be filled with your staff.
- Yeah.
- And they're going to eat
and they're going to discuss
the issues of the day.
And then they will scheme
and barter and bargain
to decide which issues
deserve your attention.
- Yeah.
You have no friends in
this building, John.
You're going to need
to bring your own.
- And I could kill you for
putting me in this building
with my bare hands, Lynelle.
- You offered. I
wanted your son.
I could've controlled
him, you know.
Now, I gotta deal with you.
- Well, I'm... I'm
pretty easy to bribe.
- Oh, I'm well aware.
Every time I want a
bill pushed through
I'm going to find
myself in a coat closet.
It's going to be an
interesting four years.
- Four years is a long time.
This is not where
I want to spend it.
- Are you going to
run again in 2026?
- Not on your life.
- All right. Think about
the power in that, John:
a governor that doesn't
care about being re-elected.
That doesn't have to make
friends with his enemies
for some future compromise.
You don't have to
compromise at all.
You can build a legal
wall around this state.
And maybe in the
next hundred years,
this place looks the same.
But in the meantime, you
have a friend in Washington.
And you're gonna need one.
- Hold 'em up. Hold 'em up.
Shit.
Move 'em! Move 'em! Move 'em!
- What do we do?
- Get across the river! You
want to go to jail in America?
- Get back!
- Hey! You're on the wrong side!
- Get back!
Get back!
- On the other side, now.
Get back.
- You rode on our side!
- Yeah.
- You have no
authority on this side.
- Take care of him.
- Yep.
- Those horses
belong on this side.
- The thieves belong over here.
- They didn't make
it into Canada.
They haven't committed a
crime on that side yet.
- Yeah, they didn't
commit this crime.
They committed plenty others.
We trade.
- They didn't look too
worried about Canadian prison.
They seemed pretty worried
about ours, though.
You want a feather in your cap
or do you wanna see these
sons of bitches in prison
for the next ten years?
- Sergeant, bring
the horses across.
- Great. Now we
gotta herd them up.
- It might be the wild west
on that side,
but on this side rules are the
foundation of order,
and order holds the flanks
of a civilized society.
- Yeah. It's also
how you herd sheep.
- You calling us sheep?
- I didn't call you nuthin'.
You said it yourself.
- What a shit show.
- It's a show. That's a fact.
But it's our show now.
What are you going to do first?
- What do you
think I'm gonna do?
- They're ready, Dad.
- Here we go.
- Ladies and gentlemen,
please be seated.
Mr. Dutton, face me and
raise your right hand.
Place your left
hand on the Bible.
I... State your name...
State your name.
State your name.
- Daddy?
- I, John Dutton...
- Do solemnly swear...
- Do solemnly swear...
- To uphold the Constitution
of the United States...
- To uphold the Constitution
of the United States...
- And the Constitution of
the State of Montana...
- And the Constitution of
the State of Montana...
- Against all enemies...
- Against all enemies...
- Foreign and domestic...
- Foreign and domestic.
Congratulations.
- You had a chance
to be rid of him.
You did nothing and
he grew stronger.
It's slave rules for you
now and it's all your fault.
- I present to you
the 26th Governor
of the great state of
Montana, John Dutton.
- Well, I am not a politician.
This was never my plan.
My only plan was to preserve
my family's way of life
and the land where they make it.
The fact that you're...
The fact that
you're sitting here,
the fact that you
voted for a man
who does not want this
job to lead this state,
means we share the same goals.
My first act as Governor
will be to cancel funding
for the Paradise
Valley airport project
and the surrounding commercial
and housing developments.
God isn't making any more land
and he certainly isn't
filling any more rivers.
Next I will propose
to the State Assembly
to double property
taxes for non-residents.
I will also add a 6
percent state sales tax
to all goods sold
for non-residents.
I will charge vehicle
registration fees
to non-residents.
The message is this: we
are not your playground,
we are not your haven from
the pollution and traffic
and mismanagement
of your home states.
This is our home.
Perhaps if you choose to
make Montana your home,
you will start
treating it like a home
and not a vacation rental.
Thank you.
- Did you know about this?
This is going to set the
state back thirty years.
- That's a pretty
good start, Jamie.
The plan is set
it back a hundred.
- I'm not even sure
he has the authority.
I'm not even sure it's legal.
- When did something being
legal bother you, Jamie? Hm?
If it isn't legal you're going
to help him make it legal.
You're gonna push
all this through.
I'm about to work you like
a rented mule, brother.
It's time for your
pound of flesh.
- Can you get me out of here?
- Yeah, let's go.
- Want a whiskey, Daddy?
- Why not?
- Can I get one of those?
- Go fuck yourself.
- Make your brother a whiskey.
- I. Will. Not.
- Here. Here.
- Make me another one.
- Dad, you should think twice
about canceling the
airport funding.
- Oh, shit, I've
thought plenty about it.
- It's five million
a year to the ranch.
For a ranch that loses
three... Do the math.
- You know, there's
other revenue streams
for the ranch, Jamie.
- Oh, name one.
- Well, I'm getting a
mil-five for the party.
- You're charging the
State a million dollars
for his inauguration party.
- Actually, I'm
charging his campaign.
- Oh, is that it? Well,
that's worse, Beth.
He can't benefit from
campaign funding,
that's how he gets impeached
on his first day in office.
- He's not benefitting
from it, Jamie.
A Utah LLC is
benefitting from it.
- We're all going to prison.
- You know, it is the
eighth wonder of the world
you aren't already there.
- Will you two just
shut the fuck up
and let me enjoy the
last hour of quiet
I'm gonna experience
in the next four years?
- This is all your fault.
- That's right.
This was never
supposed to be me.
It was supposed to be you.
- It could have been me.
It should've been me.
No.
- I could've won.
- Oh, of that I have,
uh, I have no doubt.
But then what?
You know, it must break my
wife's heart to look down
and see what a mess I
have made of this family.
What an embarrassment
we are to the sacrifice
it took to give us a home.
But I tell you what...
Sacrifice is exactly
what we are going to do.
It's what you're
going to do, Jamie.
You are going to
sacrifice your ambition.
You are going to
sacrifice your fear,
your weak, self-loathing heart.
You're going to kill all that
and you're going to get strong.
And no matter how it scares
you or how much you disagree,
you are going to do exactly
what the fuck I tell you
for the next four years.
Exactly.
Make no mistake, I love Montana,
But I am doing
this for our ranch.
We measure every decision
against what is
good for the ranch.
The ranch comes first.
Do you understand me?
- I understand.
- Always, Daddy.
- What's said between
us stays between us.
You understand?
- They sign confidentiality
agreements, Dad.
- I won't say a word, Governor.
Except this...
If I had your ranch,
I'd do the same thing.
- You make sure this is
my driver every time.
- Hey, how dressy is this, Dale?
- I don't know.
It's a party for the
fucking Governor.
So pretty dressy, I guess.
But since you don't
have any dresses
it doesn't really
matter how dressy it is.
- Screw you, I got dresses.
- You have dresses?
- I've got dresses.
- You have dresses?
- Is there a fucking
echo in here?
- Hey Teeter, Jake's
got dresses too
if you need to borrow one.
- That's a little
out of left field.
What the hell you
messing with me for?
- I'd love to see the dress
that Jake could fit into.
- Be about the size of
a fucking bed sheet.
- What the hell are
you all on my ass for?
- Ah, hell, Jake, something
frilly might look good on you.
You know? A little
lace in there.
- What the hell are
you laughing at?
- Hey.
I don't need you all drunk,
this party ain't for you.
Ethan, you want to tell me
what is so fucking funny?
- Jake's trying to pick
out his dress for tonight.
- His what?
- He wants to wear a dress, sir.
- He wants to wear...
Jake, hey, you got
a bet to settle,
you settle it somewhere else.
You put on a fucking dress
and go to the
Governor's ball tonight
I'm gonna hang you in
it, you understand me?
You understand
what I fucking say?
- I ain't wearing no damn dress.
- Just be... whoa,
whoa. Just behave.
Just behave.
And don't be an idiot.
Now let's go, put
your show shirts on.
Let's go. Get your
shit together.
- Go put your show dress on.
- Don't be an idiot, Jake.
- Now y'all got me in trouble.
- Gosh damn, boys, look at this.
They ought to have a party
like this every year.
- Actually, Jake, they
throw it every four years
when there's a new governor.
- Well, excuse me for not
studying government in college.
- The Diesel Academy
is not a college.
- The more you talk to him,
the more he talks back.
Just in case you haven't
caught on to the pattern.
- They is on your ass tonight.
- He's being a prick.
Look at this here, guys.
Hey, can I get a double Buffalo
Trace on the rocks, please?
How much do I owe you?
- It's an open bar, sir.
- Uh, could you make
another one of those?
- Two.
- Three.
- Four.
- Five, please.
- I get the picture.
- Hell, while you're making em.
- How bout I just make one
for anybody in a cowboy hat?
- That'll work.
Hey, it's the Bar M boys.
Hey, Stetson, what do ya know.
- I don't know it.
I do know there's a
cowboy in the Capitol.
Look at all this...
- It's gonna be hell to
clean up tomorrow, I bet.
- Ryan.
- Stet.
- Hope they don't make us
sit in there and eat supper.
I'll never figure
out them damn forks.
- Well, you know what?
They can't make us do nothing
if they can't find us, huh?
Come on, guys.
- Best news I've heard all day.
- Hi. Hi, how you been?
Great to see you.
Hi, thanks for coming.
I really appreciate it.
Hi.
More like a wedding reception
than your first
night in office, huh?
- My wedding reception
was in my living room
with thirty people.
This looks like exactly
what it is: work.
- Hi, so nice to see you.
- Congratulations.
- Well, this is more
like a wedding reception
than you think, because
you are married to Montana
for better or for worse.
- Yeah, so everyone
keeps telling me.
- All right, I'm gonna wander.
- Wait. You're not gonna eat?
- In this dress? Are
you fucking kidding me?
I'll see you later.
Have a good night.
- You know, I took over running
this ranch from my father
when I was... 34 years-old.
For the next thirty years
I never spent one night
away from this place
until this year.
First time I've been
here in a month.
What's up, everybody, we are
Shane Smith and the Saints
from Austin, Texas.
We'd like to thank
Mr. Dutton and your family.
For having us and
congratulations.
We're going to play you a
dancing number now. that's ok.
Hey!
- That was rough.
- Oh! $20! $20!
- Oh, he's a dragger!
- I hate them draggers!
- That one yours?
- None of 'em are mine.
I'm too smart to date a cowboy.
I like looking at em though.
- You're wearing
an orange jumpsuit
with tassels, and you're
saying you're too smart?
- I sing later.
Gotta wear something
flashy on stage.
Something fun.
Crowd likes it.
- Well, mission accomplished.
Why no cowboys?
- 'Cause they'll always
love the life more.
And the horse more.
And the job more.
The rodeo more.
I wanna be first.
You do?
I prefer a man whose
life is already full.
That way he's got
something to share with me.
You know what I mean?
If I want blind adoration,
I'll get me a dog.
I'm gonna go sit
with my cowboy now.
- Ain't gonna work.
- What ain't gonna work?
- I'm just window shopping.
- Oh.
So no interest in a dance?
- None.
- You sure?
- I'm pretty sure.
- What if I insisted?
- How you plan on doing that?
That was pretty slick.
- One dance.
- One dance.
- What are you doing
hiding up here?
- Just keeping an eye on things.
Making sure
everybody's behaving.
Come on. We can
go have some fun.
- That party ain't for me, Beth.
Ain't for any of us.
- It is. It's for everyone.
- You know what?
I never think about what
happens a year from now
or ten years from now.
I always worried about today
with an eye on tomorrow.
But when I look
down there, Beth,
ten years worries me.
- He only became governor
so we don't have to worry
about the next ten years.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Nobody else
could've done that?
In this whole state. Nobody?
That's what worries me.
What was the, um...
the name of Emperor
that played the fiddle
when Rome was burning?
- Nero?
- This reminds me of that.
He's gonna lose this place.
Here.
I'm going to turn in.
I love you.
Yes, sir, we got them wrangled.
We're just sitting tight here.
All night if we have to, sir.
Okay, yes, sir.
I've talked to about
half of the owners.
They're sending out trucks.
The rest we can just
send back to Billings,
sort 'em out there.
- All right. Let me
talk to the wife.
- Okay.
- Hey. You coming home?
- Looks like we're going to
have to take these horses
back to Billings.
- Okay.
I'm thinking maybe I
should meet you there.
The cramps are getting worse.
- That's three weeks early.
- They're really bad, Kayce.
- Shit... I'm leaving now.
You don't think you can wait?
- I don't think I should.
- Okay, well, I don't
want you giving birth
on the side of the road.
I'll send an ambulance south,
okay, to meet you on the road.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Tate!
- Hey, Hendon, I'm meeting
Monica at the hospital.
- Yeah, I'll handle this. Go!
- You okay, Mom?
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- You sure?
- Want me to drive, mama?
- You can't drive.
- I can drive better than this.
- It just comes in waves.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
- Haven't seen you in a while.
It's Carter.
- I know who you are.
Jesus Christ, it's been a while.
- You want me to saddle one?
- Wish I had the
time, but I don't.
- You're the Governor now.
- Yep.
- The big man.
- So they say.
- I miss our rides.
- Yeah, I miss 'em too.
We'll do 'em again.
Quit eating the fertilizer.
- Huh?
- Quit growing.
- Why?
- Because it... Because
it freaks me out.
You're a living reminder of
how much time I don't have.
If you grow a
beard, you're fired.
- No beards. Got it.
- Take me to Helena.
- We need to go to Billings.
- Why, what's in Billings?
- I had a brother.
For an hour, anyway.
- A brother, huh?
- John.
- John?
- They named him John.
Next time on an
all-new Yellowstone...
You could be a really
good leader, John,
but if you don't play the game
the game plays you.
Hey, when he says jump,
you don't ask how high.
You just start hoppin'.
You are signing a
declaration of war.
Market Equities will
not just go away.
This will be a fight.
A big one.
You don't tell a soul.
This never happened.
