(MONEY FOR NOTHING BY DIRE STRAITS) MTV...
(MUSIC)
(PANTING)
Whoa.
(GRUNTS)
Come on, boy.
Ah.
Oh.
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.
(GROANS)
Lord.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
Here we go.
(ENGINE STARTS)
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 that 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.
(LAUGHS)
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. (SNIFFS)
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.
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
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.
(LAUGHS)
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.
(BEEPING)
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... 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 three 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.
(DRUMS, NATIVE CHANTING)
(NO DIALOG)
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 25,000 at your blackjack table.
Build that casino,
and we will fund your project,
and make your reservation the richest in the nation.
In exchange for what?
Stop holding up the thing
that will deliver your customers.
I'll have a contract drawn up by the end of the week.
I look forward to seeing it.
Watch out for the elk scat.
I cannot wait to pave this place over.
So what did she say?
She offered me something that's too good to be true.
Then it isn't.
Goddamn, I love when Travis comes to the ranch.
We work both those reds, mine and the baldy.
You're from where? Texarkana?
Yeah, Texarkana. Which side of the river?
North.
That is not Texas, that is fucking Arkansas.
Don't tell people you're from Texas.
- Whatever you say, sir. - Don't you fucking do it.
Hey, brother, congratulations on that derby win.
- Thank you, brother. - That's a hell of a horse.
When you gonna show him next?
I sold his ass at the back gate.
You sold that horse?
You out of your fucking mind, Travis?
Brother, my goal is to leave every horse show
with an empty trailer.
Had Andy Masci make you something.
Oh, yeah? What's that for?
Little wedding present.
How'd you figure that out, motherfucker?
I'm a horse trainer, brother.
When a woman goes off the market I get a fucking email.
Tammy Joe! Bring him.
What's this horse?
Oh, shit this is that Dual Rey Geoffrey Sheehan was showing.
Hey, Arkansas, you study real hard in school,
and save your allowance,
one day you might get a horse like this.
But I doubt it.
Teeter, come grab these horses.
Did Doc say it's okay for you to be riding?
- Yeah, well, I didn't ask. - Whoa.
Goddam, he gets the livestock, doesn't he?
Yeah.
What are you all shopping for?
Legacy.
Look at the King Ranch down in Texas.
Eight hundred and twenty-five thousand acres.
The land around there is so thick with oil you stab the damn ground
with a shovel and you find it.
How is that ranch still there, that's the...
(LAUGHS) that's the question.
Yeah, you'd think some big oil company
would have bought it up by now.
Well, that's cause they got ahead of it, you know?
Started their own oil company before one could get to 'em.
Their own breed of cattle, hell, their own breed of horses,
not a damn horse in that arena you can't trace back to the King.
They made such a name for themselves you can buy
a damn truck with their brand on the seat.
That's what we're going to do. (SNIFFS)
Outside this valley, who knows we're even here?
I'm gonna let the world know we're here.
Thinking of putting Travis on the road.
You know him best, what do you think?
I mean, that fucker doesn't do anything but win, sir.
Can we trust him?
(LAUGHS)
I mean... He puts the "whore" in horse trainer, Kayce.
But if he's riding for the Y, he'll be true to it.
But mind you, he will fuck everyone else, sir.
I mean everybody.
Hey, John.
How's he priced?
Through the roof.
Well, what if, uh...
What if I was to put him on the road with you,
then what does he cost?
Well, the cost is the same, but he'll pay you back in a year.
I'll take him. Now show me more.
How many more? How big you want in?
When people think of horses I want them to think of the Yellowstone.
John, look, you know this deal, all right?
There's no money in the oak.
All the money's in the acorn.
So, let me go find you a stud. give me three years...
Don't have three years. Just get me in now.
Find me acorns on the way to that winner's circle.
All right. You want cutters?
- I want all three. - John...
That's going to cost a lot of money.
All right? It's gonna take a few million to do that right.
Well... Can you win it back?
You know what we should do?
If we're gonna do this right, then let me do it right.
Let me build you a team. All right?
I'll get you the best of the best in all three,
and I will stack checks on your desk thick as a fucking phone book.
Do it.
All right. I'll start making calls.
We can't afford to do this.
Yeah, well, we can't afford not to, son.
Not anymore.
Oh, now you show me respect?
Don't bother.
Let's keep this civil, shall we, Beth?
Civil, you fucking coward?
I burned for you, Bob.
And when I say "burned", I mean it.
Care for a drink?
Uh, double Tito's, three olives.
You mean a martini?
No, martinis have vermouth and are enjoyed with friends.
I don't like vermouth and these aren't my friends.
So...
What are we talking about?
Your severance package.
(LAUGHS) You fucking vultures.
Here's an idea. Don't honor the contract,
and see what I do next.
We aren't concerned with the pay out.
We are concerned with the parameters.
In particular, the non-compete clause
and the non-disclosure agreement.
Yeah, that should concern you.
You have a history of malicious intent.
Oh, you have no idea, buddy.
I doubt they can shrivel any more, but it was worth a shot.
I made you a fortune.
A fortune.
And when my family was in the fight of its life, you quit me.
Here's what I recommend, Bob. Retire.
Retire before I take everything you fucking have.
Schwartz and Meyer owns half the land
on the north side of the Yellowstone.
You shouldn't pick a fight with the bigger bear, Beth.
You co-own the land, Bob.
You gotta read the fine print, Bob.
I'm the bigger bear.
Great. Let's try the right hand, now.
Better today.
That's really good, Jimmy.
All right. Now for the tough stuff.
Great.
Back down.
Up.
- How many are we doing? - Ten.
(GRUNTS)
Can't we just fucking walk?
Walking doesn't work the muscles we need worked, Jimmy.
You're getting so much better, baby.
All right.
I'm really encouraged by the scans.
You're making good progress in PT.
I think we've reached that point, Jimmy.
What point?
Your movement must be restricted to physical therapy.
You can go to the bathroom, you can walk from one room to the next,
but any physical exertion must be supervised.
And the thoracic brace stays on 24 hours a day.
Two most dangerous places for you. Stairs and the bathroom.
A slip in the shower, we're right back to square one or worse.
- Got it? - MIA: We got it.
Discharge will take a couple of hours.
Oh, I let the ranch know in the hopes they could arrange a ramp,
and what-do-you-know, the bunkhouse already has one.
That's how dangerous your job is. You need to think about that.
JIMMY: Wait, you called the ranch?
Who did you talk to? What did they say?
Said they were sending a car.
What's the matter, baby? Why aren't you happy?
Need to show you something.
- Me? - Yep.
This boy any relation to you?
What did he do?
Tried to rob a convenience store with a screwdriver.
You can see how that worked out for him.
What are you going to do with him?
Well, I was going to put him in foster care
but he, uh... he claims that you're his guardian.
I'm his what?
That's what he says.
No bullshit, what are his odds?
Odds on what?
A future.
That's his future.
The world's lucky if it's drugs that send him to prison
and not murder, or something worse.
Look, it's a horrible thing to say, but the best thing for this world
is if he goes to sleep tonight and doesn't wake up tomorrow morning.
(WHISTLES)
- Hello, dear. - Hello, darling.
I made dinner.
Dinner, huh?
Dinner.
Thank you. What did you make?
Hamburger Helper.
You didn't have any hamburger, so I used tuna.
So Tuna Helper.
You put tuna in the Hamburger Helper?
Why not just use the Tuna Helper, darling?
They make tuna helper?
You know what, let's just go into town, get a bite.
What do you say?
You should try it. Might surprise you.
The kid sure likes it.
- The kid? - Mm-hmm.
What kid, Beth?
I think he might be our kid, baby.
Who the fuck are you?
My name's...
You know what? Shut up. Just shut up.
Who is that?
You, 20 years ago.
With the same options that you had.
Look, he doesn't have to be here. It's your decision, but...
you're the one that's got to tell him.
I gotta tell him? All right.
Boy. Get your shit and get out of my house.
Let's go.
Sorry, kid. We gave it our best shot.
I don't know where to go.
You got four choices. Pick a direction.
Fucking son of a bitch.
You went to plan B pretty quick.
What's plan B?
Wait until everybody goes to sleep, rob every car and truck on the ranch,
like a little raccoon.
Don't you have it all figured out.
Come here, you little shit.
Damn it.
Go on.
Go lay on that couch and you don't fucking move.
I'll just rob you when you're sleeping.
(LAUGHS) I ain't sleeping.
I'm gonna sit in that chair until the morning
and then I'm going to run your ass into town.
Can he at least finish whatever we're calling this?
Sure, why not. Here. Here you go.
Eat up.
Oof. What an appetite, huh?
Well, I'm pooped. Gonna head up.
Goodnight, kid.
Boy, you sure out-kicked your coverage with that one.
All right, you little shit.
Come on, I got a place for you.
Come on, get up.
Hey. Easy, or you're going to get hurt.
Bed, water.
Good night.
What about a bathroom?
Here you go.
(LOUD THUD)
Get up. Let's go.
That'll be the last fucking thing you do.
You can drop me off anywhere. You don't have to take me into town.
What, so you can rob somebody else's ranch?
No, your ass is going to town.
All I asked for was a chance.
No, you didn't ask for shit.
You puppy dogged my lady and she asked me.
And the answer's no. You don't get a chance.
Ain't that the fucking truth.
Fuck you.
Get out of my truck. Get the fuck out.
Get out of here.
Fuckin' smell it.
Word of advice? Rob a second home, not a ranch.
Maybe you won't get fucking shot.
Fuck you, asshole.
Shit.
Come on!
Come on, motherfucker!
Life doesn't give people like you chances, kid,
if you haven't noticed,
and asking for one is a waste of Goddamn time.
So I'm supposed to just take what I get in life?
Get raped in a foster home?
I've been down that road.
I ain't never going back.
Ask me for something else.
Like what?
Like a job.
Can I have a job?
Can you ride?
No.
Can you rope?
No.
(SIGHS)
You see that bag in the field?
Go ahead and take your backpack off.
I want you to run out there and I want you to grab it for me.
And just bring it back. Go ahead.
There'll be no stealing, you understand me?
If I catch you stealing you are fucking gone.
You hear me?
Yeah.
All right, come on.
(ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
TRAVIS: So, I got Jake on this Metallic Cat colt.
I want you to buy and put down the road.
Hey, I tell you what, I don't know how big a name
you're trying to make, but,
you oughta let me call Bobby Patton
and see if he'll sell you a share of Metallic.
Cause that would make a splash.
When you jump in the pool for me, Travis,
you do a cannonball.
I'll do it. Cannonball it is.
Hey, that, uh, bald-faced cow?
The one with the white belly's good, Corey?
(COW LOWS)
Who's this?
That there is the new stall cleaner.
Looks a little young to be going on the payroll.
No, he don't go on the payroll. He's like me, sir.
What's your name?
Carter, but everyone calls me Chubby.
Don't look chubby to me.
Was when I was a baby, I guess.
It's what my dad called me. Sorta just stuck.
Where's your dad now?
Polluting the dirt they buried him in.
(CHUCKLES)
Shit.
- Just like you, huh? - Yes, sir.
Go stand over there a minute, would you?
What in the world. This your idea?
No, sir, it's your daughter's.
You okay with this?
Maybe.
- I said maybe. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I got it.
Come on.
- What did he say? - Maybe.
- What does that mean? - Mean's fucking maybe.
Wet shavings and manure goes in this wheelbarrow.
I want you to dump it out there, big old pile, you can't miss.
Wait, what about the horses?
What about them?
I gotta walk in there with them?
No, I want you to rappel from the fucking ceiling.
Come here.
You walk in there with the horse.
You clean up the shit, and then you close the door.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
It ain't fucking rocket science.
Now, let's get to it.
Boss is going to want to talk to you.
Hang out here somewhere.
(GRUNTS)
- Got it? - Thanks.
Yeah, be careful.
- You get the door? - Mm-hmm.
MAN: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Jimmy's back, sir. - Hmm?
Jimmy's back.
- Is that the word? - Mm-hmm.
We'll be back.
- Okay, all right. - MIA: Good job.
Boy, he sure got lucky when he found you.
No, I'm the lucky one.
No, honey. You aren't.
Can you give us a minute?
How do you feel?
It's weird.
I don't have any feeling in the tips of my fingers,
but they still hurt.
I don't know how I can't feel them
and they hurt at the same time, you know?
My grandfather lost his leg.
Said the worst pain he ever felt was in his toes
after his leg was gone.
Phantom pain, they call it.
Yeah. I guess that's what I got.
You broke your word to me, Jimmy.
I'm sorry. (CHUCKLES)
You broke your word.
I'm sorry, sir.
Tell you what, you know I'm so...
I'm so Goddamn tired of being right.
I told you this would happen.
And what did I say next?
Please don't fire me, sir.
All right, I can still be useful. There's all sorts...
How? How can you be useful?
You can't ride. You can't lift anything.
But in a few months you will,
and you'll think you have cheating fate all figured out
and you'll do it again and I won't watch it happen.
Please. Mr. Dutton, please.
Please what? What do you think I'm going to do?
Kick you off the ranch?
I made a promise to your grandfather, and unlike you, I keep my word.
But I'm done trying to make a man out of you, Jimmy.
I'm leaving that to someone else.
Who?
It's the last favor I call in for you.
You screw this up, and you're on your own.
Get you packed up, Jimmy.
Where am I going?
Travis is pulling out of here tomorrow, you're going with him.
Where?
Where cowboying was invented.
And if those boys can't make one out of you,
you weren't meant to be one.
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
It wasn't my decision.
Nah, nah, nah. Close the stall.
I'm going to teach you a trick,
so that you don't blow this opportunity.
Don't think that you deserve it.
You don't deserve it.
And you never will.
You don't deserve it?
No one deserves it.
All right. Come on.
Every time I turn around the man's trying to get me down
And I came to see your face
Jimmy, you look like you need a beer.
- Can he even drink? - He shouldn't drink.
MAN: All right, whatever. More for us.
Did you see those fucking horses today?
Goddamn, what I'd give to ride one of those sons of bitches
Get your ass dashboarded right into the dirt.
Bullshit! Fuck you, coming from
a guy who could get bucked off by a fucking seesaw.
I heard riding and I heard fucking. What are we doing?
MAN 1: Play cards?
MAN 2: You wanna lose?
Big, small is auto in to you.
Hey, Lloyd? Got Any requests?
Okay we'll go auto in on the turn.
Well, I guess I'll pick.
Check is in the mail.
I've been a-wasting my time
Hell, I don't need no more rain
TEETER: I put it one beefy stick.
I've been-a-gone for so long
I think the devil lost my name
The blood drips from my notes
And the highway's killing time
This here goodly six string
Well, it eases my mind
(DOOR SHUTS)
Sit down right there.
Well, look who's back.
I was pretty certain that you'd dropped him off
on the highway somewhere.
Oh, I did, honey.
Smells good in here.
Hamburger Helper.
Made with hamburger this time.
RIP: This looks good, sweetie.
Yeah, I think I got this whole cooking thing figured out.
Oh, yeah? Let me see.
Mmm.
That's good.
What?
Nothing.
This, uh...
This makes you happy, don't it?
It does.
Want to know why?
Cause you got a mean streak like a fucking badger.
(GIGGLES)
Here, have some more.
(GRUNTS)
(CLICKS TONGUE)
Oh, shit.
I'm in trouble.
Already? What did you do?
Rip told me to be the first to the barn.
And I'm not.
Well, I don't count.
Not working. This is, uh...
Physical therapy.
That's right, you got shot.
Yep.
Bet that smarts.
Don't recommend it.
Why don't you get up here and open this door for me?
(GROANS)
Where you going?
Don't know. Just going.
You were the first one here.
No, not really.
No, sir, you were the first.
That's a good sign. You keep it up.
Rip told me the trick.
Yeah?
Never think I deserve it.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah, well... No one deserves it.
But you try to anyway.
That's what he said.
Well, if I don't come back, you send out the search party.
Where do I send 'em?
Don't know where you're going.
Guess they'll have to earn the title, then, huh?
(MUSIC)
