Yellowstone

Hey, Jimmy.

Why don't you ride ahead and look for the next break?

Tell me about that kid.

Ah, he's green as the grass.

But he tries hard. He's a good kid.

If he was a good kid, he wouldn't be wearing the brand.

Yeah, well, he's a favor.

What about Walker... he a favor too?

I just want to know what I'm working with.

They don't work with you, Kayce.

They work for you.

These are questions that you should be asking your father.

- I'm asking you. - Yeah, well, it ain't my place to say.

I guess that says it all.

Hey, Jimmy.

He said ride the fence line.

Hey, this cow looks kinda funny.

Shit. Hold on. Here.

Kayce, ride him down so I can stab and probe him.

Get the gas out of him.

Jimmy. Gimme the Wonder Dust out of the saddlebag.

The what kind of dust?

It's wound dust.

Grab it out of the fucking bag.

What's bloat?

Ate something he shouldn't.

I don't know what the fuck did he bloat on,

the grass is dried and it didn't freeze last night.

They can't eat when it freezes?

Jimmy, quit askin' fucking questions.

Go put it back.

Doesn't make any sense, Kayce.

There's no alfalfa in this field.

I never seen one bloat in the fall.

That's 'cuz they don't.

Oh, my God...

I thought we agreed on 10 a.m.

She's worth the wait.

I'm breathless with anticipation.

Cassidy Reid is here.

- Morning. - Hi.

- Pleasure. - The pleasure's mine.

I'm a huge admirer.

- Cassidy. - Mr. Stewart.

- Hi, Beth. - Hi.

Cassidy Reid.

Jamie.

No other opponents submitted qualified petitions

before the deadline, which means the office is yours.

AG Stewart will step down immediately

and I will appoint you to the office

before the election, which you run unopposed,

which means... welcome to the office, AG Reid.

Thank you, Governor.

I will serve Montana with pride.

And to the letter of the law.

Yeah...

We'll issue a press release

and schedule an official swearing in,

on what, Friday?

Friday's good for me.

How's Friday for you, Jamie?

Friday's fine.

Excuse me.

I think it's a good idea if I brief you

on some of the more pressing legal issues

facing the state prior to the swear-in.

Alright, let's dive in.

Okay...

I don't know where to start.

Dad?

Excuse me.

Who died?

Not who...

Mister Dutton.

Here's your culprit.

This is a crime scene.

Jamie. Get livestock agents out here.

Everyone walk away.

Brian.

You're not a reserve agent anymore.

You're on regular duty. You find a way to cover this area.

I don't want a fuckin' bird landing in it.

You. Walk with me.

Now's not the time to talk about all the fights I'm in.

Right now, this is the only fight that matters.

You have any idea who did this?

I know exactly who did it.

Now we gotta go prove it...

You ever hear of the Beck brothers?

The Beck brothers?

Yeah, yeah, the Beck brothers.

Yeah, they own about 300 gas stations with slot machines.

One of the brothers controls the sale of liquor licenses.

That could be a real problem.

They don't want our casino to happen.

The casino's mine.

Your hotel won't need their liquor license.

Once we annex the land,

the state has no control over anything we do.

We didn't agree to annexing the land.

You don't need to... we own the land now.

That wasn't the deal...

That's exactly the deal, Dan.

And for you, it's priceless.

There's no county permits to build.

The gaming license comes from the Tribal Gaming Commission,

as does your liquor license,

your permit to operate,

and your hotel license...

When you sold me the land, Dan,

I gave you freedom from oversight.

Sidestepping those regulations

is going to anger a lot of people.

That puts him in danger. Both of you.

That's why I have Mo.

Who do you have?

Surely you've learned by now...

we're the only ones playing by the rules.

What are you saying? You saying I need security?

You've needed it for a while, Dan.

You should've learned that, too.

150 years ago,

our people called this land home.

We drank from its rivers,

we hunted its valleys,

we cared for our dead in these forests,

we prayed on these mountains.

This was our home. And it nourished us.

You understand our contract with the reservation

is invalidated the moment they annex this land.

You familiar with the term Indian giver?

Well this is the opposite.

The word you're looking for is justice.

By the power vested in me,

I claim this land as property

of the Nation of Confederated Tribes

at Broken Rock.

If he doesn't keep his word, I lose everything.

If you were him, would you keep your word?

It's worth the risk if he is telling the truth.

Trusting him is not a business strategy.

Dan!

Come do the honors.

Great, now he's asking you to dig your own fucking grave.

This is the beginning of something very special, Dan.

You watch what a difference we make.

Any endeavor that raises my people's profile

is a good one, but I wonder...

how many casinos do we need?

Is this the right path for our future?

Are you challenging Chairman Rainwater's leadership?

I'm challenging his outlook,

and what's best for our people as a whole,

instead of a select few.

In an historic ground-breaking ceremony,

Tribal Chairman Thomas Rainwater

annexed the land purchased

for the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock's

ambitious hotel & casino project

into the reservation.

There are now questions about what, if any,

authority the state will have over regulating

the casino or monitoring the construction

of what will be the largest hotel in the state.

Who's the contractor on this build?

I'll find out.

I thought we were pretty fucking clear with Mr. Jenkins.

Well evidently not.

We need to find a less subtle means

of expressing our displeasure.

Can we bait that trap?

I think it's time we spring it.

So you think this was intentional?

I don't see tire tracks anywhere, John.

The fence is way over there... no one threw it over.

And it didn't fall out of the fucking sky...

That's exactly what it did.

So you think someone flew a plane over here

and dropped clover on your cattle

in the middle of the night, John?

Think about that.

We have.

A King Air designed for skydiving

so it has a side door large enough

and could hold the weight.

Why would anyone do that, though? Who would do that?

Your golfing buddy. That's who.

All right, John. Fine. You think that.

Now why the fuck am I here?

I have no jurisdiction. Cattle is your department.

What can I do for you?

I have six full-time agents, Donnie, and four reserves.

I don't have the manpower for this investigation.

I need your deputies...

Dep... John, I can't spare any deputies.

County has more firefighters sleeping at night

- than I have on patrol... - You keep making my point.

You wanna help?

Give me deputies or deputize my men.
