Yellowstone

It's okay. You remember me?

Yeah. It's all right.

It's all right.

That's it. That's it.

Good boy. Good boy.

Let's get you a drink.

Whoa.

Hey.

Easy. Easy, bear.

Easy, bear... Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

Hey! Whoa!

Hey, bear! Get out of here!

Hey!

Get out of here!

Sorry, son.

You could get in trouble in a church.

You stood your ground, though, for once.

I ain't used to seeing you off my dad's leash.

- What's that? - I didn't stutter.

Go ahead. Come on. Go ahead.

You still can't take a punch, though.

Where the fuck you going?

Ah, there's work to be done.

You know what work is, don't you?

Course you don't.

You got your wife for that.

By the way, welcome home.

Only this wasn't a dream, it was the biggest fish I ever caught.

You're up early.

Tate has school. So do I.

Go on and brush your teeth. We got to go.

You drink coffee?

I'm a teacher. We live on it.

There's breakfast up at the house if you've got time.

We don't.

Well, I... I brought this for Kayce.

Oh, he left early. He's working on your horse.

Yeah, needs a lot of work.

Can someone give him a ride back? I can't be late.

We'll get him figured out.

Thanks for staying last night.

Good to have you here.

Why do they do it?

The brand. Why do the cowboys do that?

Well, they... They don't all do it.

Just the ones that got a second chance.

I guess that's the way they prove they're to be trusted.

Is that why you did it to Kayce? Couldn't trust him?

Hey.

Why don't you, uh...

Why don't you run to the house and grab a big, fat donut

so your growling stomach don't drive your mom nuts on the way home?

Can I get the biggest donut?

Biggest one in there, buddy. Go.

I'm afraid that's a longer conversation.

Well, if I'm gonna be a part of this family,

I need to understand it.

I need to understand why he hates you so much.

He disobeyed me one too many times.

Disobeyed you how?

He told me he got some girl he barely knew pregnant,

and he was gonna marry her.

So it was because of me.

I told him to take you to the clinic

and not let you leave until you had an abortion,

and he wouldn't do it.

So you had those cowboys brand him?

No, Monica, that I...

That I did myself.

Okay. I understand now.

Thank you for your honesty.

Pick one yet?

Hard to tell which one's the biggest.

Yeah, I know. They're all pretty fat.

How about we line them up in a row,

and then the biggest will be easier to spot then.

You can do that?

Yeah. Grandson, you can...

You can do whatever you want.

Came here to escape work, babe.

Oh, not working.

This is fascinating.

Did you know the livestock association has its own police force?

Oh.

Hey, remember that thing on CN N

about the, the shootout over cattle on an Indian reservation?

Look at this.

This is the guy.

That's great, babe.

I feel like I'm reading about crooked cops in fucking Queens.

- This is the same thing. - Now you're working.

Yeah, damn right I am.

There's a beautiful property just south of the Yellowstone.

Two hundred and thirty acres, Live Water.

Does it border the Yellowstone?

It's about a mile down the road.

Oh, it's got to border the Yellowstone.

- Do you see all these lots for sale? - Yep.

What is "Paradise Valley Development"?

That's Dan Jenkins' planned living community.

It's not what you're looking for.

Twenty, thirty-acre lots,

but there's no power on that side of the valley.

And its zoned commercial, so there's no telling what...

Could you print me out a plat map?

Thank you.

This is what I need.

All of those lots will be bank-owned within a year.

Dan Jenkins lost the water source he was using to generate power.

How do you lose water?

John Dutton rerouted the river.

- He rerouted the river? - Yeah.

It will cost between 15 to 25 million to get power down there.

You don't want one of those lots. Trust me. They're worthless.

I don't want one of them.

I want all of them.

If you come on my leather seats, you're walking home.

We're already late.

The meeting can't start without us, Jamie.

I need to go to the bathroom.

After you.

We've been waiting a long time for this, Jamie.

And you, what a surprise.

I had no idea you were interested in politics.

I'm not.

But what daddy wants, daddy gets, right?

Our plan is this.

Mike announces his decision not to run.

At the same time, he endorses you as his choice to succeed him.

Christina interned for Chris Messina in 2012.

Obama's campaign manager.

- I know who he is. - Of course you do.

She's been staffed with us for three years

and was instrumental in our gain of five seats

in the Assembly in 2016.

We think she'd be a great asset to your campaign.

I'm really excited to get started.

Well, I'm happy to have you on the team.

Can my whore be a 6-foot fireman who loves Jesus?

Please?

The Dutton name gives you the red votes.

Mike's endorsement gives you the blue votes.

So you want me to run as an independent?

That opens me up to opposition from both parties.

And it limits the possibilities for an office beyond this one.

Let's just worry about winning this office for now.

There's a value to the independent party that didn't exist ten years ago.

The partisan lines are drawn so deep.

The only way to get anything accomplished is with a swing vote.

Party members don't get those.

It's the new trend because it benefits both parties.

If you run independent, run unopposed.

Both party chairs have pledged that.

So, if he's running unopposed, why does he need this little firecracker?

Or do these kind of perks come with the office?

Can I have a word with Beth alone?

Don't you fuck this up for me.

I'm fucking it up just for me.

I get the sense there's something that you would like to discuss.

What insight. No wonder you're governor.

When my husband died, our son was 15.

He's had countless issues since.

Drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pretty significant gambling addiction.

He can't hold down a job.

Although, I hear that you're a highly-functioning alcoholic,

so kudos for that.

What I learned, painfully,

is that when a child suffers a tragedy, they stop maturing.

They're emotionally frozen at the age they experienced the loss,

until they accept it, which, clearly, you haven't.

I look at you, and I see a 14-year-old girl

who wants to bully the world.

But you can't bully me, Beth.

Bullies need to be big, and I'm bigger than you.

Got it?

Boy, do I.

I can't endorse you for office until you get some help.

You're endorsing my brother,

which shows your shrewd judge of character.

I don't want your endorsement. That's not why I'm here.

Okay, Beth.

Fire away.

Men don't think like us.

Too simple to weigh the significance of every act.

My father, he just wants to forget.

But not you.

You wanna piss in every corner and make those corners yours.

Affairs happen in hotels, not homes.

You need to look closer when you look at me, Lynelle.

I ruin careers for a living.

You sleep in my mother's bed again, and I will ruin yours.

Ruin it.

Got it?

And tell your son to grow up.

He sounds like a real pussy.

- I love Old Man Lee's. - No way.

- No, re... - Ready.

- Hey, we're not going anywhere. - I know. I understand.

- We're just getting started. - I can give you a ride.
