Yellowstone

Hey, hey!

Woa, whoa!

You want 'em in pasture 12?

- Well, that's what I was thinking.

What do you want?

- Well, there's no hot wire around that river.

We could leave them there a month or so,

but then they might cross.

And God knows where they'll go.

In pasture nine, there's a creek

and a fence all the way around it.

We could leave 'em there until November.

Well, nine it is.

- You never wanted 'em in 12, did you?

- Well, all the world's a test, son.

Don't ever let it trick you into thinking different.

Why don't you meet me at the Livestock Association office

once you get 'em moving?

- I was gonna help them push 'em out.

Oh, I'm sure.

You're about to learn how little cowboys and ranchers

actually get to do.

It's the wranglers that have all the fun.

- Taking cows up to pasture nine.

Go through the east canyon and up the fire road.

Any questions?

- There's no gate along the fire road.

We'd have to cut the fence.

Yeah, exactly.

Then we'll fix it.

- We push 'em across the river and we could follow the creek...

- Then we'd have to swim 100 cattle across the river.

Cows can swim.

- Hey, I can't. I don't know how to swim yet.

- Do you know how to shut the fuck up?

He didn't ask you your opinion.

He asked if there was any questions, and they're ain't!

Now get your asses out in that field.

And start moving them cows up the canyon

like he told you. Go on.

You ask them questions, Kayce,

questions will never stop.

You tell me what you need and I'll take care of it,

but don't question me.

- Well, you said they need to respect me.

- You let me handle the wranglers

and you'll have both.

That's my job.

All right, well,

when we get up to pasture nine,

you choose the way.

I don't choose the way.

Make sure no one questions yours.

- You're a hand long enough, you know who to talk to.

- Just trying to do it different.

Different never works.

- Dan, I was beginning to believe

this day may never happen.

Montana's got under my skin.

Check?

Big check.

- It's a big day... for both of us.

Let's bring them in, Mo.

The old ways of gambling with our future are over.

Working together with new partnerships

marks a new era for our nation

and for all of Montana.

- Right over here, quick question...

Jamie, sorry to keep you waiting.

Will you pull that up, please?

Need to show you something.

You're no longer running unopposed.

- No matter how hard you work, I'll work harder.

This campaign is just the beginning.

- That's my announcement speech.

- Yeah. Your father's smart, I'll say that.

You're getting the crash course in politics today.

Always remember this, Jamie.

Running for office and holding the office

are two very different things.

Holding the office requires honor, integrity,

tempering every act with wisdom.

Running for office requires none of those things.

It's a zero sum game

and winning is the only thing that matters.

Come here.

- Hello, Attorney General Dutton.

You gotta be kidding me.

- Welcome to really running for office.

Walk out that door...

and you lose, most certainly.

Stay...

and you win, convincedly.

As an Independent,

you have no party to fund your campaign.

Cassidy Reed is a good choice.

She just stole your platform.

With this, you get funding and a new platform,

one she can't steal.

- I am sitting, not agreeing.

- There's no secret agenda, Jamie.

I want tribal issues

to get the attention they deserve from your office.

I want the same of her.

That's not deceptive, Jamie.

That's being a good politician.

Isn't that what you want to be?

Um...

I'm gonna need some time to think.

Give me the day?

Excuse me.

- I need a fingerprint scan? - I got it.

- Place your fingers flat on that device.

- Let's see your driver's license, please.

- To be an agent, you gotta go to the police academy first.

We can drag that out for a bit.

But you can't hold my office without the badge.

I don't want your office.

- You can't have it for about 15 years.

And it'll take you that long to earn everyone's trust.

Understand, Kayce, this office is how you protect the ranch

and every ranch like it. Put him on speaker.

Sure.

- We're about to find out how big a role you play

in this family, son.

NCIC.

- Yeah, this is agent Handon, Montana Livestock Association.

Authorization number?

- Mike, Tango, Lima, Alpha, 139259.

Name?

Dutton, Kayce John,

date of birth 4/24/90,

driver's license number...

MT 83745820382.

Dutton, Kayce John,

no priors, no outstanding.

Thank you.

Miracles never cease.

- Well, he's clear for a ride-along, sir.

- Let's get him started next week.

- Can I talk to you alone for a second?

Give us a minute.

I don't know about this, Dad.

There's just so many things that can go wrong.

- Kayce, whoa, whoa. You just let me...

you just let me worry about that.

- I can't pass a polygraph test.

Well, you won't have to.

- Well, what about a psych eval?

- Well, you won't have to take one of those either.

Gotta go.

- Kayce? What makes you think

you wouldn't pass a psyche evaluation?

My whole life.

Hey.

How you doing?

You know.

You wanna come in?

Yeah, sure.

You recovered?

Getting there.

- It looks like a home in here.

Yeah, I try.

Seems kind of permanent.

It's an apartment, Kayce,

it's a place to...

You want any water or anything?

Uh, yeah, sure.

- Heard you are working for your father now, huh?

- Yeah, I just... - Daddy!

Hey.

Wanna see my new room?

Yeah, sure, buddy.

Its over here.

Brand new bunkbeds. - All right.

- Oh, yeah, and that's a football I earned from school.

- Cool. - And you can stay the night

because I don't use this top bunk.

And there's a park down the street

that we can play at.

- I'll have to ask your mom about some of that.

Be right back, buddy. - Okay.

How you affording all this?

- Uh, university gives us a spending allowance.

I just spent it on all this instead of moving.

All our furniture was old and someone else's.

- I know it's not much, but... - We're fine.

Please.

I don't know how to do this, Monica.

I don't know how to not be with you

or not talk to you.

You're my wife.

You're my best friend. You're my only friend.

You're mine too, Kayce,

but something had to change.

And instead of changing,

you're just--you're working for your father.

Well, you told me to leave!

- Yeah, everyone keeps telling you to leave

and you keep doing it.
