- You're late. - Storm caught us.

There is a way to get you better.

Doc has to drill a hole, relieve the pressure.

You regard me with no decency or compassion.

If you wish to deny me entry, deny it.

Welcome to America.

- Destination. - Bozeman, ultimately.

Montana?

Put that somewhere different now. Every pickpocket

in the terminal just saw your hiding place.

Nowhere in

our vows did it say to live in this

frozen hell. If you want

to be my husband, be him in Boston.

This is my home.

You got two choices.

Walk with me to a train station

or take your chances with this truck.

They're my family.

Look what you do for your family.

It's a rich man's world now.

The one thing you cannot

buy in a store is the euphoria of peril.

I can sell that for a fortune.

But that? That's just the beginning.

America is awash with wealth.

As people flee the tedium of the countryside

for the opportunities of the city,

their pockets fill

and their station in society rises.

Modern conveniences have eliminated

the monotony of daily life.

No more cutting wood for heat.

No more a servant to fields and livestock.

If you wish heat,

you turn on the boiler.

If you wish water, you turn a faucet.

Americans no longer rely

upon their hands for money.

They use their minds,

their imaginations,

and they are getting rich from it.

But...

what are they going to do

with their new money and all their free time?

What do they do in Europe?

Hm?

They travel.

Travel? Where?

Wherever they can experience a world opposite of their own.

Montana is the opposite

of their convenient lives

and their concrete world. It is wild.

It is untamed.

Uh, silver has made me rich,

but mines run dry, prices fluctuate.

Selling an experience

is an infinite resource

that costs nothing to create

because it already exists.

Your invitation offered

an investment opportunity.

I see the opportunity,

but not the investment.

The investment is in bringing them

and entertaining them once they arrive.

There are three phases which must begin at the same time.

Phase one.

Last spring,

the first transcontinental flight

left Long Island and arrived

27 hours later in San Diego.

A century ago,

that journey took a year.

Flights from New York could reach Bozeman

in under 12 hours, and from Chicago

in under eight.

Second...

We push the state for funding

to pave the road through Paradise Valley,

making automobiles a viable means

of transport to the park.

And this...

...keeps them coming year round.

What is it?

It is a winter park resort

where one may ice skate,

toboggan

and ski.

Who wants to suffer through the hell of winter

only to vacation in the snow?

Ever vacationed at a beach, Alan?

Of course.

Why? Why travel all that way?

Our lakes have beaches.

Our rivers have shores.

It's not the same.

Not the same? How?

I can't explain it. When you see it, you understand.

Huh.

How much will this new infrastructure cost

and what type of investment are you seeking?

The state will pay for the infrastructure

once we convince them of the tax revenue

Montana stands to gain.

Our investment

will be the resort community.

I'm offering

100,000 per.

I'll take five.

- I'll take five. - I'll take four.

Four.

That resort sits in the middle of Yellowstone.

That's Jake Dutton's land.

Time to build that army you promised me.

Fifteen minute call for the 10:55 to Boston.

Fifteen minute call

for the 10:55 to Boston.

Where is it? Where's the fucking money?

No.

And to think,

we could've had some fun. You're too skinny.

You're too much trouble to break.

What time is it?

What time?!

11:02.

Last call to Boston.

All aboard!

Wait!

I have a ticket!

Sorry, miss. There's no way to stop her now.

Are you off your rocker, lady?

Never seen anyone so desperate to reach Billings.

Your quarters are three cars back.

Thought I had it to myself.

You have it with me.

Get down.

Why the fat lip?

I was robbed.

What did he take?

He took everything.

Spring teases the senses

with warm mornings

and green buds of new grass

and the hope of summer's bounty.

Then blankets that hope in snow.

It will continue this cycle,

testing the will of both animal and man.

Hunting out the weak.

Ridding the world of them,

lest they find the strength and summon

to survive another season

and pass their weakness on

to the next generation.

He said six inches apart.

That's right. Six inches.

What is that?

You don't want to know.

I think it's best if your wife wait outside.

No, I want to be with him.

I'm sure you do.

It's all right. Wait outside.

How long does this take?

Don't know. Never done it.

Oh, that's encouraging.

Alice.

Come with me.

Let's put on the straps.

Nice and tight.

This strap should be just above his eyebrows.

Now, it is imperative that you not move.

I will sedate you with chloroform.

How long that lasts is different with everyone.

Breathe in deep.

Exhale deep.

Breathe in again.

Exhale deep.

He's out.

Let's push down

- and toward him. - Okay.

His head must remain perfectly still.

You all right?

Here we go.

I think we should move to California.

I hear there are no laws against our marriage there.

You heard wrong.

There is no haven from bigotry, I'm afraid.

What happened to you is more than that.

They hurt you to hurt us.

To attack us.

And I'm sure sorry they did.

Why would they do it to hurt you?

Greed.

Which is the engine of bigotry in the first place.

Greed for what?

The land.

The land beneath your feet.

The land beneath mine.

What are the chances he wakes up during this?

Well, there's no way to measure.

How much chloroform did he inhale,

what his body's reaction

- is to it. - Yeah.

Do his pain centers override the s...

Hey! Get him!

Zane, hang in... Hold him!

- Look at me, Zane. - Hold him.

You're all right, man.

Hold still. Hold still.

Doing good.

Are we almost done?

The worst is behind us.

Now you'll need to loosen that strap

and turn his head

- slightly to the left. - Okay.

Just a touch.

Let's see.

Get all this...

...into...

There we go.

All right.

I'm sorry, Zane.

Should begin feeling... it releases

some of that pressure.

I feel it.

Okay.

All right.

Bandage and gauze.

Go on and wrap it around this way.

There you go.

Give me some more, feed some more...

There it is.

All right.

Moment of truth.

Let's take the straps off.

Try and sit up.

All right.

Does it hurt?

Hell yeah, it hurts.

He just drilled a fucking hole in my head.

S-Sorry.

I think he means

does it hurt as bad as it did before?

No.

Not like before.

I ain't dizzy. It ain't crushing me.

I thought I'd never walk again.

Thank you.

Can he stand up?

Well, he can try.

But take it real slow for a few days.

It's been a while since those muscles

have been used.

Wait...

Oh, e-easy there, boss.

- I got it. - Easy.

I got it.

Go slow.

Are we going after 'em?

For what they done to us?

Yeah.

For what they done to all of us.

I want to see my wife.

Come on, I'll give you a hand with the stairs.

I got to tell you, Doc,

I didn't have a lot of faith in that working.

Neither did I.

I ain't ever playing poker with you.

Zane's up and walking.

Believe that?

No, he drilled a dang hole in his head.

Now he's walking.

Is it time for my shot?

Not yet.

Then leave.

Please.

Sweetheart...

I'm no such thing.

Not to you.

Not anymore.

Leave.

Alice.

Thought I'd lost you.

I thought I'd lost me, too.

Well, that's one calamity down.

Ah.

And here comes another one.

This is a hard winter to be a girl's first.

Yeah.

She wants to go home.

Did you talk to her?

Tried.

Let me try.

Can't make it any worse.

Mm. I stand corrected.

If anyone can make it worse, it would be you.

That's why we've lasted so long, honey.

Your unwavering belief in me.

Go away.

Rather not.

Suit yourself.

When are you leaving?

Eight days.

Ah.

Winters are hard here.

No matter the year.

This year's...

...been hard to live through.

For any number of reasons.

I'm out of reasons to stay.

Husband's a reason.

I gave him a choice.

He didn't choose me. He chose this place.

That isn't a choice.

Not right now.

Not the way he sees it.

This ranch is under attack.

Our whole way of life is under attack.

In his heart, he believes you're asking him

to abandon that fight,

abandon his family.

Whether it's true or not, that's what he believes.

You've sacrificed a lot to be here. We all have.

And you got as big a stake as anybody in this fight.

But being part of this family

doesn't mean you have to deny your own.

If you want out of the snow for a little while, I...

...I don't blame you.

Hell, I'd like to jump on that train to Boston with you

and not come back till June.

I sure hope you'll come back.

But not like that boy does.

Sun don't rise in the east with him.

Rises with you.

I'm sorry, darling.

Let me see it. I'll do it myself.

Mr. Dutton?

Yeah?

Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for listening.

It's not right.

It shouldn't hurt that much.

I'll be right back.

Doctor?

Would you have a moment to see Elizabeth?

Is something wrong?

Darling.

Are you all right?

I'm better than all right.

So, Doctor?

It appears the good Lord has two miracles

for this family today.

Well, what's the second?

She's pregnant.

Wh... But i-i...

is it all right? With-with the vaccine...

There is no danger of the vaccine

interfering with the pregnancy. It can, however,

make the mother quite nauseous and cause cramps,

sometimes quite severe, as it is

- in her case. - Yes, but Doctor,

can she keep this one?

One can hope.

And a prayer or two wouldn't hurt.

I'll be on my knees.

Pregnant.

Ah.

It's been far too long since we've had good news

in this house, Doctor.

Far too long.

Oh...

What?

Come here.

See?

All she needed was a little

wisdom and understanding,

and they're back to being puppies.

Yes, you.

Oh, you certainly saved the day, didn't you?

- Well, it appears so. - Mm.

Well, I'll go on to let you think that.

For a little while, anyway.

Don't be jealous, honey.

Turns out

I know more about women

than you give me credit for.

Jacob...

and I say this from a place of deep affection...

it is your complete ignorance on the mind of a woman

that is the cornerstone of our marriage.

Without it, I would have left you decades ago.

I have n-no idea

what the hell you're talking about.

That's what I mean.

She's gonna have a baby!

What'd he say?

She's gonna have a baby!

Mm-hmm.

Lunch will be ready in an hour.

You hear what I said?

Yeah, I heard what you said!

Great!

Great.

Are you looking for work?

- No, sir. - Car break down?

- Don't have a car. - Where you headed?

Train station.

You're a ways from a train station, son.

Where you coming from?

Is there a law against walking?

There's a law against vagrancy. You got any ID?

Boy, you've been all over.

- Soldier? - At one time.

- What's in the case? - Rifle.

I was a tracker for the Commonwealth in Africa.

And now you're walking the roads of Texas.

- Going home. - Well, last I checked,

there's no way to walk here from Africa.

Worked a merchant ship that took me to Galveston.

Hitched my way here.

Hmm.

Put your things inside. I'll give you a ride.

Son, it's not a request.

Vagrancy's a crime in this county.

I can take you to jail or I can take you

to the rail station in Fort Worth.

Hop in the back, there.

- Where's home? - Montana.

Mm. Work the mines there, do you?

I ran cattle.

Rancher. That's a rough business.

Yeah, what isn't?

That prohibition causing problems up north?

Wouldn't know.

Weren't any prohibition when I left.

Wasn't any paved roads

with power lines running beside 'em.

There was none of what I'm seeing.

Place I left ain't the place I'm going back to.

Causing problems here, everywhere you turn.

Hell, we had a shootout

in the middle of the county road yesterday.

Middle of the damn road.

You were right to get out of that truck, son.

Question I got for you is why'd you get in?

Only opens from the outside.

You know, that Italian boy sure was a talker.

Ain't talking anymore, though.

I've met plenty of bootleggers. You don't fit the bill,

but... here you are, bootlegging.

Wasn't my booze and it ain't my truck.

Didn't have much choice in the matter.

Life's a series of choices, nothing else.

Dying didn't seem like much of a choice.

Well, I'm gonna give you another choice.

You spend the next five years in prison

or you deliver this whisky.

Deliver it?

Mm-hmm.

And you're free to go.

Well, why would you want me to do that?

'Cause we're gonna go with you.

What's it gonna be?

Let's get it over with.

I need my things.

Your things'll be fine right here.

Here's the wrong direction.

Give me my things or take me to jail.

Keep these close.

Temperance Society caught 'em a prostitute.

This is the place.

You are Spencer?

Who's this guy?

Sent him with us.

Where's Lucca?

Back in Waco.

Why is he in Waco?

'Cause that's where I shot him.

Don't go nowhere.

Where's this train headed?

All the way to the ocean.

Where you headed?

Ain't going that far.

You got to pay the tax.

What tax is that?

The train tax.

You got any food?

No food.

You got any money?

No money.

Maybe we work it out in trade.

That how you paid it?

Sometimes you give, sometimes you get.

Everybody's got to pay.

Even you?

Not me.

What makes you so special?

I'm the tax collector.

Okay.

How's half an ounce of lead sound?

Trains have a way of rattling a man to sleep.

Like a big steel crib.

Swaying to and fro.

I've never seen a man that can resist it.

You said a couple of days.

I was wrong.

I'll say.

You sick of being poor?

Never known anything else. Never known

a hotel room like this.

What if I told you

our boy could go to university?

Any one he wants.

And when he graduates,

he could run the empire I build for him.

And you...

you would never have to garden again.

Or wash your laundry in a bucket.

You wouldn't need to cook.

You could be cooked for.

And your grandchildren could play in the snow,

not work in it,

not freeze themselves to sleep at night.

What if I could give you all that?

Can you?

I can.

I am.

But...

to give you all that,

someone else must lose it.

Another family must go without.

I must take it.

That's the only way people get wealthy, Banner.

They take it.

Look at where we come from.

Look at the castles built on the backs of our parents.

If you said that could be our castle

but you must throw the prince from the wall...

...I say...

...throw him from high enough

that he don't try to steal it back.

All right.

I'll steal you a castle.

I have 35 men who are willing.

And I haven't spoken to the miners yet,

just the sheepers.

They'll be wanting to graze the summers there in exchange.

I couldn't care less

what or where they graze.

How do you want me to do it?

You've already done it once.

You just weren't successful.

Now, ask yourself this.

Why weren't you successful?

That was different.

That was revenge. I-I'd lost everything.

I had nothing left to lose.

We need a reason this time.

Why?

To explain it.

Who are we explaining it to?

I've paid his back taxes.

I'll do it again, and when he doesn't pay me back,

the land is mine.

Let me show you something.

This is a county map of Montana and Wyoming.

It highlights every privately-owned parcel of land.

Look here, at the border.

Right there, they've recorded

a county with no township, no private land.

All of this is still owned by the government.

It's a county with a population of zero.

So?

So...

there are no 12 jurors of your peers.

There is no judge, there is no sheriff,

which is to say...

there is no crime.

I don't care where you kill them,

you dump them here.

Well, I need to see this place for myself.

- Can I take this map? - Be my guest.

Yes, my dear?

I need to show you something.

What did I tell you?

I meant to untie it, but

I was right there, you know?

I've created a monster with this one.

When you go to the border, Banner...

would you be so kind

as to take this with you?

What, and just leave her there?

Consider it practice.

Can I have that blanket?

I rather like that one.

What a shame.

I'm sorry.

You'll just have to go to town

and find us another one, won't you?

In the meantime, you do a bad thing,

and you get punished.

Go to the bed.

Let me show you the right way to do it.

How many'd you dig out of the bottom?

Uh, eighty-three.

You count 'em?

How many is a good thing to know.

Yeah, well, be hard

to be in the cattle business if you didn't.

Let's move 'em, boys!

What now?

Now we eat.

Chuck wagon's at the fairgrounds!

What is this place?

Have rodeos here.

Ain't never seen a rodeo?

What's a rodeo?

It's kind of everything we just did.

With an audience and prize money.

Feel that steel

to your neck there, hunter?

I don't care how fast you think you are.

You ain't that fast.

Aah!
