Yellowstone

Tate.

Let's get down for breakfast.

He's at the fairgrounds.

He's watching the cowhorse guys with your father.

Cowhorse guys?

Oh, Jesus.

He's horse shopping.

- Well, he should enjoy his retirement.

If a horse makes him happy, he should buy it.

My dad ain't retired.

Here's what he does all day

he goes on walks with Tate, he goes riding with Tate,

goes fishing with Tate.

He plays baseball with Tate.

Meanwhile, you're working sixteen hours a day

doing his job.

Both of his jobs, actually.

The man is retired.

You painting the house today?

Huh?

Why you dressed like that?

- Doing some volunteer work today.

Like a car wash?

Something like that.

You're lucky he's horse shopping.

When a man in your father's position retires

he usually gets a 25 year-old girlfriend,

then buys them a sports car and a condo.

- 25 year-old girlfriend, a sports car,

and a condo would be cheaper.

Trust me.

Damn, you look good.

- Go save your father from himself.

You gonna buy him?

Maybe.

- But we already have a lot of horses at home.

I got a lot of using horses.

There's two ways to make money on a ranch

sell cattle and market horses.

I don't have a horse to market.

How do you market a horse?

- Send them down the road and see what they can make.

So, I ain't just looking at the horse today.

I'm looking at the rider, too.

Are these the best riders?

Best in the world.

Nice horse, Bob.

- Thank you, sir, he's a good one.

- You gonna keep him on the road if I buy him?

- You know, I'm trying to enjoy my life.

If you buy him, you show him.

- Don't wanna show him. I'm trying to enjoy mine, too.

- You know, you've got an arena full

of world champions out here.

You could close your eyes, throw a stick, and hit a winner.

- You wanna make big money on a horse, learn how to do that.

Learn how to be an artist.

- You running her in the cow horse or the reining?

- I'd show her in a chariot race

if there was enough prize money.

You still pal around with Travis Wheatley?

- Shit. Against my better judgement.

- That son of a bitch... If you were stuck in quicksand

he'd charge you for the rope before he pulled you out.

That's for damn sure.

- Sure a lot of fun at the bar, though.

That's his special skill.

- Any of those boys are going to work for you, you know that.

I've got a beach in my sights

I'm gonna stick my toes in the sand.

- Save me a seat, would ya? - You got it.

- He don't look too done to me, does he?

Dad, we do not need...

Wow. That's a nice horse.

- Expensive taste runs in the blood.

- That's the only way my dad would get it

'cause he's broke as hell.

- Hey. Stay away from the bunkhouse.

Headed to the office, huh?

Yeah.

Pretty quick investigation.

- I just wanna get through some paperwork.

Not really cleared to go back out just yet.

Boys are all right, though?

They'll live.

- What are you guys talking about?

Just work stuff.

Wow, look at that horse, buddy.

Monica doesn't know.

- Pretty short sighted, considering...

it's already in the...

newspaper.

She don't read that.

- Well, if you want to talk about it later...

What's there to talk about?

- I think there's plenty to talk about, son.

Gotta go.

You know where to find me.

- Why were you guys talking in secrets?

I don't do that.

Secrets are like a callus on your heart.

What's a callus?

Feel that, right there.

That's hard.

That's a callus.

And every secret feels just like that.

Tell enough of them, and before long...

Your heart won't feel a thing.

- Because she baited them into it!

Every hedge fund manager in New York is shorting us now...

It doesn't matter if it's true!

The boulder is rolling down the hill

and I can't do anything to stop it.

Look, set a call with shareholders.

We need to start a buy back.

I know. I know...

I fuck

I know.

- We'll set the call, and issue a tender offer at 75.

Once the price starts to turn,

start buying Schwartz and Meyer shares in blocks of 25,000.

Once you hit half a million, start reaching out to the funds.

We are squashing this bug today.

What in the...

What now?

Just wanna shake your hand.

Thank you.

For what?

For protecting what's ours.

And for risking your life to do it.

Donny...

He never had that.

He had their respect. He had their loyalty.

But that...

I don't even know what you call that.

I don't either.

Gratitude, I guess.

That shooting was justified.

My office won't question it.

- Well, you should probably question it.

I'm just letting you know what you're going to find out.

I need some advice, brother...

If I can still call you that.

- 'Til the day you die you better never

call me anything else.

- There's an arms race going on in this valley,

and the weapon is land.

Market Equities has a forest service lease

on 12,000 acres to build a ski resort.

They have a lease agreement with the FAA

to build an international airport.

The Land they have earmarked are pastures 12 through 32.

- Of our land. - Our land.

There is a meeting with the Governor, myself,

the land commission and the board

of Market Equities next week.

Now, the fact that this meeting is even set

means that Montana wants it.

I do have an offer from Market Equities

at ten thousand per acre.

- There's fifty thousand acres between those pastures.

It's half a billion dollars.

If we turn this offer down, then the attorneys

for Market Equities are going to push the government

to seek eminent domain.

I will be recused from representing

the state because...

It's our fucking land.

There is public need the jobs, the revenue...

- Is there any kind of a solution?

We sell it to them.

Right now, the ranch has enough money to keep up

with taxes and operations for another year.

Maybe two.

Then we're selling anyway.

- And you've explained all this to dad?

Beth has poisoned me to him.

And if you explain it to him

- The last thing he wants to hear from me is numbers.

It has to come from Beth.

Can I see the offer?

- Well, it was a verbal agreement.

I need to see it, Jamie.

She's not gonna believe it unless she sees it on paper.

Even if it's coming from me.

Yeah.

Can you get me Willa Hayes from Market Equities?

Broke down, huh?

Yeah, it's the radiator.

The hose, I think.

Don't have a spare, do you?

- You gonna fix it all by yourself?

Do you have a spare?

Not for a Nissan I don't.

But I can give you a ride up to Billings.

I'm headed that way,

Yeah, that would be great.

Climb in.

One sec.

We don't have a choice, Bob.
