Yellowstone

Come on, boy.

Just making sure I didn't spring a leak.

You know, there's a decent chance I'm gonna

come unstitched and fall in a dozen pieces

on the ground right in front of you.

Just letting you know in advance it ain't your fault.

Lord.

Here we go.

What in the...

Oh, goddam, it. Are you trying to die?

What in the hell are you doing?

Well, the doctor said soak in a warm bath twice a day.

I think he meant in a tub, not on the top of a mountain.

And you're not supposed to be riding, either.

He said "no driving."

Never mentioned nothing about horses.

Well, I promise you horses are on the list of

things that you shouldn't drive.

You got shot. You're on a horse.

I only got shot twice...

Well, then you win the getting-shot-least award, Kayce.

I don't know what to tell you.

No one ever got well sitting in a fucking bed.

One thing I know about life: when you stop moving, it's over.

So if riding back from here kills me, so be it.

So, you can go on home, sonny.

I'll come back when I'm goddam good and ready,

and if I don't you just bury me where you find me.

I ain't going nowhere.

And if you die on the ride home,

I'll bury you next to Lee and then I'll sit on your grave

and I'll tell you 'I told you so.'

All right, that's a deal.

Oh.

Ahh.

Damn, that feels good.

People been coming to heal here for 15,000 years.

Damn right, it feels good.

You know what I think?

I think...

God or nature or whatever you want to call it,

gave us all these places, these herbs, these minerals,

this... this mud,

all these things to fix what happens to us

because God knew what a fucking wreck we'd make of ourself.

Beth thinks it was Jamie.

Yeah, I know she does.

What do you think?

I think if even Jamie wanted to hire the militia

they'd never do it for him.

They did it for themselves. It's what we did to them.

You know, he didn't sell that land for the airport,

he leased it to 'em.

He did that to keep the ranch together.

And he did that for you.

Killers don't seek their victims' approval.

So you think they did it on their own.

I do.

How many are in that militia?

About half as many as there used to be.

That's a half too many, if you know what I mean.

Yeah. I agree.

Use Jamie for the warrants.

We'll learn real quick where he stands.

You're a good man, Kayce.

But sometimes good men have to do real bad things.

Doesn't change who you are.

I just want to be really clear about what you're asking.

I ain't asking anything.

I'm telling ya we're gonna kill 'em.

We're gonna kill every Goddamn one of 'em.

How many acres?

A thousand under this fence.

Another section across the highway.

Warm Creek runs through the back of this parcel,

and you got river on the other side,

so there's water for your stock year-round.

Doesn't freeze in the winter?

They call it Warm Creek for a reason.

The fences look good.

Got a brand new set of Priefert pens down there.

The Cattle are fat as ticks.

And it all goes with the sale:

the pens, the cattle, the tractor, the furniture,

the plates in the cupboards, all of it.

Why are they selling?

Owner died. Left it to his kids.

One kid wants to keep it, one doesn't.

One can't afford to buy the other out, you know the deal.

Horses and cattle may be how the West was won,

but death and taxes is how we're gonna lose it.

No doubt about that.

What do you think?

Run pairs across the road, hay this side.

You'll make money every year.

Gonna have to buy some horses.

Don't waste your time with horses, son.

A Kawasaki Mule and a few good border collies is all you need.

A ranch without horses is...

All them Kawasakis eat is a little gas.

They don't get sick and they don't buck you off.

Everything conveys?

If you pay asking price it all conveys.

It's time you grew your own shadow, son,

and you stop living in someone else's.

Write up the offer.

I heard Yellowstone was breaking up,

but here you are buying more.

That's what I get for listening to the buzzards at the diner.

I'm not buying this for the Yellowstone.

I'm buying this for me.

Hank!

What is that?

Don't know. Watch out.

Buffalo?

Yeah.

It's got painting on it.

Huh?

Ho-ho, hey, ha! Look at this!

Damn.

- Oh, shit. - Hold up.

Hold up. Get up on out of there. We need to call this in.

She's in the FBO.

You're late.

Your flight was early.

I am never early. And I am never late.

I am the constant your time adjusts to.

Apologies.

What a fucking mess, Ellis.

Agreed. It's gotten complicated.

It's going to get real simple real fast.

Get my bag.

Talk to me about relics.

The procedure is to notify the county coroner

as well as an archeological team,

and the Native American Heritage Commission...

And this will halt our construction.

- Yes. - Until?

Until the coroner establishes a date of the remains

and the archeologist removes all artifacts from the area.

How long will that take?

Depends on whether a university will provide funding

or the state must ask the assembly for funds.

Explosions and ambushes in broad daylight.

Educate me on exactly on what the fuck I'm stepping into.

The violence against the Duttons

is unrelated to our conflict with them.

You really believe that?

Willa's mistake, and your mistake

was trying to intimidate people who'd blow up

a building at 3 o'clock on a Friday.

This land is all they have.

Living in Montana is just poverty with a view,

You threatened to take that view.

From now on, we stop stoking their fears

and feed their greed.

Yes, ma'am.

How long before Mr. Rainwater

files a lawsuit to stop our build?

I expect a subpoena by the end of the week.

We'll start with him, then.

Uh, Mr. Rainwater has been unwilling to negotiate.

Unwilling to negotiate with you.

Who the hell's this?

Let's find out.

Really puts on a show, doesn't he?

Chairman Rainwater, I'm Caroline Warner,

I chair Market Equity's Board of Directors.

One leader falls and another rises.

I'd hardly call this news.

They seem to think it's news.

Just because someone died here doesn't make the land sacred.

Argue it just like that before a circuit court, would you?

I don't want to argue anything.

Would you walk with me?

I have a proposal.

I'm all ears.

We rescind the cease and desist order.

You're free to resume building.

We can't secure our loan

without a guarantee that you won't file another.

We'll fund the build for you.

Why would you do that?

So we have influence over what you build, and who it caters to.

A casino at the center of this development

brings an element to this community people don't want.

Are you suggesting that we don't build a casino?

I'm suggesting you build a casino that caters

to the people who can afford to live here.

Five star accommodations,

Michelin-rated restaurants, world class entertainment.

Build a casino that is a destination unto itself.

I'm talking about people from across the world.

Flying in here to ski here at the finest resort

in the world.

Spending a thousand dollars a night at your hotel,

another thousand for dinner,

another thousand for tickets to see Elton John,

before they drop twenty-five thousand

at your blackjack table.
