Yellowstone

- What's going on? Is there a problem?

Are there problems?

Everywhere I turn, son.

- So where you headed - You know,

the only time I'm solely focused on the present

is on this horse.

Just need a long ride to remind myself

of what we're fighting for.

Want some company?

- You have a few problems that need fixing first, I'm afraid.

- Well, ain't that the thing about problems, Dad?

No matter how long you're gone,

they'll be right here when you get back.

Grab a horse.

- Well, I just got to find someone

to watch Tate real quick.

I'll wait for you out here.

- You don't got to wait on me. I'll catch up.

You think, do you?

- Just tell me what direction you're headed.

Come here much?

Every chance I get.

It's been 20 years.

No. 21.

21 years and it feels like yesterday.

I still feel her, smell her.

Been half a man without her.

It's not an excuse.

I was just a better father when she was with me.

I hope you never know what that feels like, son.

- I already know what it feels like.

- Thing's getting so dry today.

That's disgusting.

- Open that curtain, Graham. Wake his ass up.

Tate, what are you doing here?

Dad went off with Grandpa.

Told me to stay here.

- I guess your dad forgot what here's like.

Let's go. Come on.

I blame myself.

To a degree.

You know what's so dangerous about you, Jamie?

You justify every act before you commit them.

You're consumed with the world's perception of you.

What kind of man I am,

that's not a question you ever ask yourself.

What does the world think of me,

that's the only question you ask.

Morality, loyalty,

not part of the equation for you.

But you've finally done something

that makes you see yourself the way the world does.

The way I see you.

The way he sees you.

And no amount of scrubbing is going to change that.

I got to tell you something

and it comes from a place of love.

You should really consider killing yourself.

Never seen anything like it.

That's saying a lot, Ben.

Got an ID on the victim?

Dave Blackbull.

From the casino?

What happened?

You got to see it.

What's the cause of death?

He was strangled.

You've seen that before.

- More times than I care to count.

Why is there blood?

Yeah. This I haven't seen.

You know what that looks like to me?

A message.

My dad used to do this.

Oh, yeah?

- When he breaks colts, he does it.

- Yeah? - Why do you do it?

- Well, I want to get all the shit out of his system

so I can get on him.

You owe me a dollar!

- I ain't paying you a fuckin' dollar.

- So you don't go ass over teakettle?

Yeah, that's right.

Here, here, here, here... Here.

See that, Tate? That's him submitting.

What does that mean?

- That means he's ready to go to work.

Hold on. Go nice and easy.

You can pet his face now.

There you go. Right up...there you go.

That's a good boy.

Yeah.

All right, what do you say?

Should we get another one? - Yeah.

Go get the gate for me.

Whoa, whoa.

You can add babysitting to my list of talents.

- Got to say, I didn't see that one coming.

Me neither.

- We need to talk. - Yes, sir.

- I need to talk to you first, Grandpa.

It's very serious.

All right.

- Do I need to be part of this conversation?

- You ain't got any money. Gotta be him.

- This should be good. Come on.

Thanks for watching him.

- He's a smart kid. You can see it in his eyes.

Got that from his mother.

Yeah, kind of figured.

- All right, grandson, let me have it.

So I've made a decision.

Is that a fact?

I'm going to be a cowboy.

Well, that's a good thing.

This ranch needs you to be one.

Someday this is all... all gonna be yours.

- Well, that brings me to my problem.

Okay.

I don't have a horse.

I can't be a cowboy without a horse.

- Yeah. Pretty tough to cowboy without a horse,

that's for sure.

So can you buy me one?

- Well, if I buy it, how you gonna pay me back?

- I'll clean out the stalls or sweep out the barn.

Well, that's a start.

Your dad's gonna have to train it.

Because I don't have time for that shit anymore.

Who's gonna feed it?

Um, I...I will.

- Okay. You don't, it don't eat.

You don't water it, it doesn't drink.

I don't want to have to hear otherwise.

You understand?

So is that a yes?

- If it's a yes from your father,

it's a yes from me.

Daddy! Daddy!

You gotta train my horse!

Can I help you, sir?

I'm sure you can.

Dan Jenkins,

your liquor license has been suspended

until your revocation hearing.

And when is that?

Well, the Liquor Control Board

has recessed until next year. So we should be

able to get something on the books by spring.

- We need to confiscate all alcohol from the premises.

Of course, you do.

Uh, Beth...

- What time is my conference call with Mountain West?

11:30. Beth...

Who's that?

It's Malcolm Beck.

Coffee.

Okay.

- Not for him, Jason. For me.

Right...

I have a full day.

If you'd like to make an appointment,

I'll have my assistant schedule one.

This won't take long at all.

You're buying up quite the...

swath of land here in the valley.

- You're a long way from Billings,

aren't you, Malcolm?

- I don't consider any part of this state beyond my reach.

- Not sure the state would agree with you on that, buddy.

Hmm.

Your father is...

is not a reasonable man.

I respect that. I'm not either.

So I want to be clear about something.

I will not have a casino built at the gates of Yellowstone.

Oh, we don't want one either.

- But you won't help me stop them.

- I'd go back to Billings, Malcolm.

We'll take it from here.

Huh.

You see, I just can't...

I can't trust that you will stop them.

Your family has the political resources

to guarantee this build never happens.

And yet you won't offer them.

I think my father's reputation

should warrant a little trust.

- The only thing he cares about is his ranch.

Now when that property tax quadruples,

the only way he'll be able to protect it

is find a new revenue stream.

That's my job.

I'm well aware of that.

I'm also aware that the likeliest

source of electricity for the casino

comes from damming your tributary.

Now your father may not have thought about that,

but I guarantee you have.

And I am positive that pretty face has done the math
