Original subtitles

Previously on Yellowstone...

- I don't need your permission to assemble.

- This isn't for assembling.

This is greeting the President of the United States.

- He's going to endorse Martin.

- And don't you ever call this work!

- Governor of Montana on the side of a mountain,

sleeping with his boots on.

John: Couldn't have dreamed up a better death if you paid me.

I can't have Emmett's wife watch the herd ride in

without him, and no answers.

- How?

- Like a cowboy should.

- Just trying figure out, what you're doing here?

- Here's my ulterior motive. - Do you wanna hear it?

Get you elected governor and save this state.

- One for the road?

- Are you stupid enough to ask me for that

in front of my father?

- Be careful.

- Careful don't factor too much into this.

- See you when you get back.

Rowdy: You know, I've done some stupid shit in my life,

but this tops it.

I mean, how the hell are we supposed to keep wolves

from coming after 5,000 calves?

- You ain't gonna stop nothing sitting by that fire.

I'm gonna ride through 'em.

- Yeah, great. - Go save the day, cowboy.

You know, I could be holding that girl's ass

in each hand,

but no...

I'm sitting here in a sage brush with you.

- What girl?

- What do you mean, what girl?

The one you couldn't keep.

What are you gonna do, half pint?

- You never mention her name.

You don't touch her.

You don't fucking talk to her, you understand?

Try to stab me, you fucking coward?

Try it again and I will shoot you where you stand.

Here.

You should drink some water.

- It hurts... - Head's spinning.

- Maybe next time you won't pull a knife in a fist fight.

- Here, try to drink something.

- I'm hurt bad.

- You need to go to the hospital?

- I think so.

- Can you ride? - Yeah.

- I'll go get help.

- Tell 'em I fell off my horse

and he trampled me.

Or you'll get in a lot of trouble.

- Rowdy's hurt. - Hurt bad.

- Where is he?

- With the cattle.

Hurt too bad to ride he says.

- He get bucked off?

Rip, did he get bucked off?

- No sir, he talked about your daughter

in a way he shouldn't and we fought about it.

He pulled his knife and I hit him in the head with a rock.

Too hard, I guess...

- You wait here.

- Here, give it to me.

Here you go.

- He's dead. - He's dead?

- That ain't gonna help.

Get down off that horse.

Why didn't you just tell me he fell off his horse?

- That's what Rowdy said.

You said never lie to you

so, I didn't.

- Well, you're gonna have to lie now.

Or you're going to prison, son.

- Rowdy ain't got no family. - He's just a drifter.

We could drop him off at the train station.

- That's putting a lot of trust in this boy.

- Boy's putting a fair amount in us, too.

- Quit fucking crying.

The time to worry about consequences

was before the fight.

There's a thing I could do,

but if I do it, you don't ever leave this place.

You'll be part of this ranch until the day you die,

and you will do for this ranch what I say do.

No matter what that is...

you understand me?

- This ranch is the only family I've got.

Ain't ever leaving it no matter what you do.

- All right.

- Come help me.

Jamie: This was not what I was supposed to be.

I was... I was...

I was raised to be a cowboy.

To... to run a ranch. To...

To know the nuances of being a cattle producer.

To... You know, from, from...

from understanding the grass cycles,

to... to timing the calving season

to maximise the grass cycles.

Understanding bull genetics and diseases.

It was...

I never wanted to be a fucking lawyer.

This is what he wanted me to be.

What he thought he needed.

"The future of warfare is fought with a pen.

Learn to fight with a pen."

All right. So, I did.

And I did.

And then I get this acceptance letter from Harvard

Hell, I never even applied.

He applied for me.

There's no telling who wrote the fucking essay.

- Your sister, I would think.

- Never thought of that.

God, why didn't I think of that?

- Because you're too close to it.

- My father hates me.

Hates me.

He hates me for becoming the very thing

he asked me to become.

No, forced me to be.

- Do you care that he hates you?

Is his love something you feel you really need?

- Evidently not. I've lived without it my whole life.

But I would like his approval.

I want his appreciation for that fucking sacrifice.

- He can't give you that.

He resents the tool that he relies on the most,

because he can't be that tool.

He's jealous of you, Jamie.

And he's scared of you.

He's scared because the future of that ranch

depends on its evolution.

If it doesn't evolve with society

it will be devoured by society

- I know, I know. I've said that for years.

Decades.

And he's still running cow-calf pairs

like it's the 1950s, when cow-calf pairs in the 1950s

didn't even make any money.

- Cattle.

Let me tell you the future of the cattle industry.

Right now, the biggest meat processor

in the United States is a Brazilian Corporation.

10,000 acres of rainforest cleared every day.

For what? To raise cattle.

Is that a coincidence?

The future of the beef industry in the United States

Is no future.

- In twenty years Brazil will be to American beef

what China is to American manufacturing.

There will be no more cattle in America.

- That's why the airport development

was vital to the ranch's future.

- You don't have to tell me that.

But you do have to tell the rest of Montana.

Tourism is Montana's only resource.

What else do you have, timber?

Cutting down something it takes 200 years to replace?

That is not a business. That is self mutilation.

No. Tourism. That is all you have.

And you can seize it or you can witness it.

Those are your options.

- I know.

- You love that ranch.

- It's the only thing I've ever loved.

- Let me help you save it.

I can help you save it if you want me to.

- I do.

- Ask me, then.

Ask me to help you save it.

- Will you help me?

Help me.

I will help you, baby.

I will help you, baby.

- Morning.

We'll be back by noon.

- That's usually when I wake up.

And now you're just leavin'.

- This job starts early.

- I feel so used.

- Yeah? That's exactly how I feel.

- I'll see you later.

- I'm gonna go back to sleep.

- Okay.

- You'd better be worth this walk of shame.

Half my church is camped out here.

- Hey.

- I'm not sad. - I'm... I'm happy.

You're becoming a man, Tate.

Watching that makes me happy.

- You don't have to get up, baby.

We got a lot of mouths to feed.

- Why don't we give your mom some privacy, okay?

- All right.

- Bye, Mom. - Bye, baby.

- Thanks, Gator.

- Thank you, Gator.

- Go, boys.

Rip: Morning, sir. John: Morning.

This is my favourite part.

Of everything we do, this is...

this is my favourite.

- Well, I prefer when it's done.

And everything went smooth.

That part just makes me sad it's over.

- Morning. - Hey.

- Morning. - Hey.

- Morning. - Hey.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Look at all you sluts.

- You're sitting here, too.

I doubt you just wandered down

from the house to take in the view.

- Yeah, well, I'm a married woman.

- But you tramps... - Yes.

That arcane ritual where you stand

before family and friends and swear before God deity

that you will surrender your independence

and obey the man you are betrothed to.

Betrothed?

- See, what Summer's is attempting to do here

is make out that marriage is designed to somehow

oppress and control a woman.

You know, if you married to a piece of shit, it can be,

but if you married the love of your life,

the mirror to your soul, it's pretty fucking great.

- I thought we agreed to get along.

- We did. I didn't agree to placate

some of your hippie bullshit where every institution

and every custom is designed to oppress.

- They are.

- They are what you make em, babe.

- I'm going to get a shower.

You could probably use one.

- Are there showers here? - Yeah, in the bunkhouse.

I'll show you.

- What?

- Just waiting for another zinger.

- I'm all zinged out for now.

- Why are you so mean?

- No reason.

It's fun.

- That's fun for you?

- What, to point out the very thing that everyone's thinking

but they don't have the spine to own it and say?

"Yeah, damn right I romped in the tent all night.

You should try it." Which I did.

Most of the night.

Yes, I find that amusing.

- Well, I think it's cruel.

- Well, that's why I don't do it to you.

Those cowgirls, they give as good as they get

and that patchouli-scented know it all, well, she needs it.

You don't need it.

- Well, I don't need to be treated differently

just because I lost a child.

- Yeah, you do.

I'm gonna tell you something...

I haven't told anybody so, let's keep this between us.

- Okay.

- I know how you feel because I've felt it.

And I feel it every day.

So when I say that I am sorry, Monica...

I really mean it.

- Thank you.

That's why you're mean.

Because nobody knows.

Because you keep that inside yourself.

- I keep it inside because of...

all the people knowing it would hurt.

Anyway, that's not why I'm mean.

I was a real fucking bitch before it happened, so...

- Well... - You're very good at it.

I try.

- Chairman Rainwater, right this way.

Chairman Rainwater is here.

- Thanks.

- Tom. - Senator.

- Thanks for coming.

Please, sit.

Either of you like coffee?

- Well, I'm too curious for coffee.

- Well, I'll get right to it, then.

The Department of Interior has approved

two pipelines in central Montana.

One is a natural gas, and the other is captured carbon

and the proposed pathway is through the reservation.

- The Secretary of the Interior was here

with the President two days ago.

They mentioned nothing.

- As I'm learning, Federal politics is, well,

they never take the gloves off because they never put them on.

- Is there a map of this pathway?

The pipeline runs beneath our reservoir.

- Yes.

- Our drinking water.

- Yes.

- How is the path chosen?

- Well, it's the shortest distance between

two points and the path of least legal resistance.

To go to the west of you enters into State land forest service,

east of you is private ranches, which have the funds to fight,

and likely the support of our new governor.

- They don't think we'll put up a fight?

- We can't put up a fight.

Federal Government doesn't need our permission.

- So that my position is clear, I do not support this.

And I will declare my opposition,

how much weight that holds in this instance... I...

- If there's nothing you can do

and there's nothing I can do, why are you telling me?

- Because I know who's coming after your office

and they'll use this against you.

At least now, make a statement, get out in front of it.

Make enough noise that the Department of Interior

looks somewhere else.

North Dakota, let's say.

- That just ruins the land in North Dakota.

- I'm not the Senator of North Dakota.

So that's North Dakota's problem.

- I guess you don't put gloves on either.

When will you publicly declare your opposition?

- As soon as the pipeline is made public,

which I assume is when you'll call a press conference.

- You set the press conference.

Stand with the people this affects.

- Standing beside you in solidarity

is declaring my support for you

as much as it is opposing a pipeline.

- We'll kill two birds with one stone.

- Deal.

I'll set it for tomorrow.

- Be good to have the governor there.

- Well, the governor's playing hooky.

Branding cattle.

- That's not what he was elected to do.

He did what he was elected to do.

That's the way John sees it, anyway.

- He's our governor, too.

Perhaps you could remind him of that.

Lloyd: Hup, hup.

- Sh-sh-sh-sh...

- Damn, Lloyd.

- What?

- That's the third one I've seen.

- One what? - Stillborn buffalo calf.

- Where? - Just right back there.

- Aw, shit, this ain't gonna be good.

- Buffalo from the park been in this pasture.

Found two dead bison calves there, stillborn.

Walker said he's seen two more of 'em.

- Let me guess, you found a stillborn bison.

- Two.

- Why would that happen?

- Brucellosis, Clara.

- Found something you're going to want to see.

- We found it, too.

- Can cattle get it?

- Yes, cattle can get it.

- Well, how can you tell?

- Well, we'll test them for it.

And if one cow has it, the state destroys the whole herd.

- All our cows have calves.

- We're not going to solve this on the side of the hill.

Let's get em to headquarters. We'll figure it out there.

- Good cut, Jake. - Good job, buddy.

- Just push it in. - Simple job.

- That'll do. - All right, boys, good job.

Let's go ahead and push them up the chute.

- Hep, hep, hep.

- Yeah, that's all the cows.

- Whatever's left, we're going to brand and castrate.

- Here you go.

Teeter: Woo! You jumping in on this?

- You doing it? - Clara: Yep.

- Yeah. - All right, come on.

Teeter: Ready? Clara: Right.

- Right side on one, two, three.

Get him over good.

- Got him? - Yep.

- Great, man, look at the fuckin' girl power.

- Gun powder? - For what?

- Girl power. - Fucking girl power, man!

You speak fucking English?

- You speak fucking English? - What the fuck are you saying?

- Fuck it. - Just do it!

- Come on, little miss sunshine.

I'm so fucking sorry, little calf.

It's for your own good so you don't get sick.

I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry. Sorry, sorry.

- I feel like I shouldn't be watching, but I can't stop.

- It's riveting.

This is so fucking traumatising.

- We're up.

- You tell me when you're ready for me.

- My God! - We're ready.

Yeah, okay.

This is fucking traumatising.

Ooh hoo hoo!

- You ever seen one with blackleg?

- No. - That's traumatising.

You are doing the calf a big favour.

- And if you could do that favour a little faster.

- Okay. - Come on!

I'm sorry, little calf, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

- Okay, set? - Yep.

- If the state kills the herd, do they pay you back?

- Not what it's worth.

- The herd's insured but... - I don't know.

I don't know how we rebuild a hundred years of genetics.

Look, if one of them tests positive,

there's nothing we can do. Start over, I guess.

But if they don't, we got a bigger problem.

We can't use that south pasture.

There's fifty miles of fence to check,

that lower valley's too dry, they got nothing to eat.

- We wean early, send the calves to a back grounding yard

in Nebraska, or...

- The trucking will kill us, Kayce,

and we're already paying a gain on top of it.

What about hayin' 'em?

- Yeah, and feed em with what in the winter?

Son of a bitch.

Look, I'll, um... I'll start making some calls.

Find us some lease ground.

To make this pencil out half the herd needs to go

and it needs to stay a year or more.

- Lease ground where?

- Somewhere with a mild winter.

- If half the herd goes, who watches 'em?

Who do you think, Kayce?

Rip: Lloyd.

- Well, what's the plan?

- Mister Dutton wants to lease land down south

and get the herd out.

I'll go with the herd.

- Who else you gonna take?

- I don't know. - Who you want to stay here?

- Hell, you're the one living out of a teepee in new country,

you take who you want.

- All right.

I'll go with Jake,

Teeter, Ryan...

and hell, I'll take Walker.

- You ain't gonna kill him

out there on the plains somewhere, are you?

- We're probably going to his old stomping ground,

I might need someone that knows some folks down there.

By the way, I'm more fucking worried

about you killing his ass.

- My memory's not as mean as yours.

- You're gonna be a long way from home.

Long way from your wife.

I ain't got nobody, you oughta send me.

- I'm ranch manager, Lloyd.

It's my responsibility. I appreciate it, though.

- Well, when you are you leaving?

- Soon as Mr. Dutton signs the lease

and I get the trucks lined up.

- You're gonna need Gator. - Go tell him, will ya?

- Jake. Walker.

Ryan. Teeter.

Get over here.

All right, listen up.

After we brand these cattle,

we're going to hold them here,

then we're gonna put them on trucks,

we're going to take them to lease ground.

You four are coming with me.

We're gonna get some day workers when we get down there.

- Where? - I don't know.

Somewhere where it doesn't snow in the winter.

Go and pack up everything you got.

Your teepees, all of it.

We'll be gone for a while.

What are you smiling about?

- Gonna go do some cowboy shit now.

You keep that bunkhouse and cable TV.

- Thanks for picking us, boss.

- Yes, sir. - Thank you, sir.

- You got it.

- Ryan.

I want you to tell me right now

if this is going to be a problem.

I don't want to hear about it in some canyon in New Mexico.

There's nothin' I'd rather do.

Sir, thank you for the chance.

- You got it.

Ryan, Ryan, hold on a second.

- Why don't you take the bunkhouse to the fair.

You go have some fun.

You ain't gonna see a town in a long while.

- Thank you.

- That's Swarovski crystal, Dad.

- Swarovski makes optics, honey.

- With the glass from their crystal factory.

- Yeah, well, I need to break something.

- That is a hundred years old

and belonged to your grandfather.

Break something else.

- Need to move our herd down south.

Buffalo herd left the park.

Spent spring on our ranch.

Herd has brucellosis now.

- That sounds ominous.

- It is.

- How far south?

- Far enough that it doesn't snow,

so we don't have to feed them all winter.

- Okay, so do you have to lease the land?

- Yeah. - And how much will that cost?

- Dry as it is? I don't know. - 12, 14 dollars an acre.

- Okay, how many acres?

- Depends on the land.

Hundred thousand at least.

- So that's 1.4 million dollars a year.

- No, Beth.

1.4 a month.

- Dad, we don't...

We don't have that.

- I know. - I'll take a loan.

- Why don't you just sell them all now?

- If we sell 'em all now, we have no income next year.

- We don't have any income this year.

- We have no profit this year.

- We have no profit any year.

Now I want to break shit.

If we sell the heifers and the steers, what is that worth?

- If I can get them to weigh 750, worth about 1100 dollars.

- Okay, so that's a $1.50 a pound, Dad.

- Yep.

- A good steak is worth thirty bucks a pound,

shitty ground beef is worth five.

- We don't sell beef, we sell cattle.

- Exactly. We're in the wrong fucking business.

You know, I really...

I really thought the airport would be the end of us, Dad, but...

Your business model, is gonna be the end of us.

- Business model's worked for a hundred years...

- No, Dad, it hasn't worked.

If it worked, this fucking valley wouldn't be filled

with hobby farms and vacation houses.

It would be filled with ranches.

People don't sell businesses that make money, right?

They sell the losers.

- Randy, John Dutton. - How are ya?

You all stocked up?

Yeah, I need some ground.

Five thousand if I can find the grass.

Yeah, I know him.

Who else if that doesn't work?

Um, Ellis Steele is in your office with Miss Atwood.

- Sarah?

That's weird.

- Can I say something, that's...

That I don't have a right to say?

- Sure?

- Women know women.

Men know what a woman wants them to know.

I worry about you being with her.

I'm not...

Who told you I was with her?

- You're with her.

- Thank you for saying something.

I'll keep it in mind.

This is...

Unexpected.

Um...

What's on your mind, Mr. Steele?

- This.

Your father put his ranch in the Land Trust.

He put the land in a conservation easement, Jamie.

- How could you let him do that?

- Well, I...

I...

I didn't know.

- Do you have the authority to override that?

- Theoretically, yes,

But...

You're not battling a man, anymore,

you're battling the legal defence funds

of environmental groups,

which had no basis to sue you,

but now they are the stewards of the...

Fuck!

God damn it!

Thank you for coming.

I'm going to need some time to process this information.

- Market Equity will sue the state

for a bad faith negotiation.

They will file it in federal court in New York,

where they incurred the damages,

and those attorneys will wipe the floor with you.

Your state will be on the hook

for around 4 billion dollars in compensatory damages.

That's ten percent of Montana's GDP.

The state's gonna go bankrupt.

- Sounds like an impeachable offense to me.

- Yes, it does.

- What's the procedure in Montana

when a Governor resigns or steps down?

- You have a special election.

- We're fully committed to your election.

Our PAC will fund it.

Go before the Assembly.

This is your chance to become governor...

and get our fucking land back.

Man: Supply House.

- Is this the number to order beef?

- Yes, ma'am, or you can do it online.

- Can I be nosey?

- Umm, sure.

- Is this your beef, that you raise and sell online?

- Yes, ma'am. Some comes from neighbouring ranchers

'cause we sell out of all ours,

but they follow the same program.

- You sell out?

- Yes, ma'am.

- How many pounds of beef do you raise?

- This year, a little over 8 million.

- What's the catch?

- Ma'am?

- There's always a catch.

- No catch.

You just gotta have enough money to feed your herd

for two years before you make any money.

Or get a big loan.

And have a lot of backbone, ma'am.

- Backbone we got, thank you.

John: Joe, I can't thank you enough.

Once I get the trucks lined up I'll start sending 'em your way.

- This is what you get your loan for.

- The cash flow is impossible, honey,

and nobody can figure out the packer.

- They figured out the packer.

Do you know this ranch?

- Yeah, I was just on the phone with this ranch.

- So was I.

They sold 8 million pounds of beef.

On a website.

- I don't know what their arrangement is honey,

but one thing I do know is...

nobody has ever been able to figure out the re-packer.

- That is because you are not a businessman, Daddy.

You are a rancher.

I am a businessman.

And I have spent my career making

fifty, hundred million dollar deals for others.

Now I'm gonna make one for you.

- Sir?

- Line up the trucks.

- They're lined up.

We just need to know where they're headed.

- Ground in Eastern Colorado and north of Panhandle in Texas.

- Okay. Sweetheart...

Don't bite my head off for asking this question.

- I don't like the way this is starting.

- Me either...

Um... Would you like to come to the fair with me?

- Sure, when?

- Yes? Really?

- Yeah, why wouldn't I want to go to the fair?

- Is fair some sort of metaphor

for something a father shouldn't be hearing?

- No, no. It's the fair. - It's the county fair.

It's been happening for the last 92 years, sir.

- I'll get my sweater. - Okay, sweetie.

- So, you're talking about going to the fair.

- Yes, sir. Yeah.

- Yeah, that's a great idea.

- Carter, go on and get washed up.

We're going to go to the fair.

Come on.

- How long you gonna be gone?

- Well, until we don't want to be there. What do you mean?

- I mean down south.

- A while.

- How long's a while?

- I don't know, son. - Now go on. Get washed up.

- Hey. Are you alright with people taking our picture?

- You're my environmental advisor, all right?

Try to resist the temptation to jump my bones

and we'll be all right.

- I'll see if I can control myself.

You do that.

- There he is.

- You're good.

- Thanks.

- What?

- Nuthin'.

- Wanna go see the band?

- You bet.

- Tate, honey, why don't you stay with Carter, okay?

- All right. - Can we have more money?

- All right.

Make it last.

- Make it last?

A hot dog here is nine dollars.

Thanks.

- Think we reached the point where we're just

a bank and a taxi.

- Before you know it, he'll be the taxi.

- Hey. He's about to win me a fuckin' bar.

Let's go, right here.

Right here, I want that fuckin' bar.

That fuckin' bar right there.

- All these games are rigged.

- Who gives a shit? - I want it!

- Why don't I just give you the thirty dollars

it's gonna cost me to win the bear?

- Give me the bar. - Come on.

- Hi, what's up?

- Can you explain this game to me?

- All you gotta do is toss three balls

in the centre hole, you can take your prize.

- All right. - Sounds delightful.

- You get it in the hole all the time at home.

- Let's do it just like home. - There's kids around, relax.

- You got this, baby. - Come on.

Just throw it.

Holy fuck, that just went in.

- That went in?

- Yes, sir. - Right in.

- Okay, but, nobody gets two in a row,

so it doesn't really matter...

- Whatever, you want to step closer and get me my bar, let's go.

Give me two more of those.

Right in!

Fuck yeah!

That went in?

Okay wait, so, if I get this... then I win?

- Yes, sir.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't start trying now.

Just throw it like you been throwing it.

- Yeah, but I haven't even been looking.

- Then don't look.

- Right here, you just do that same thing again.

- Fuck it. - Right here.

- Woo! Fuck yeah, baby!

Mama gonna be so good tonight.

- There's kids around!

- Give me my bar.

Come on, man, you give me my fuckin' bar.

- She wants the bear. - She wants the bear.

- That's what I said.

- I love my bar!

- How long will you be gone?

- I don't know.

- Well, ball-park it.

- Maybe a year. - A year?

- Honey, I can't live without you for a year.

- Beth, I know it's gonna be tough.

- No, I mean it.

I won't survive that.

- You wanna live in a canvas tent?

For a year?

Take a fuckin' shower once a week in a Motel 6?

Come on now.

- Well we swore to spend our lives together.

Where you go, I go.

I'm gonna do what the fuck I wanna do anyway, so...

- I'm well aware of that, sweetheart.

- All right, so it's settled.

How long is the drive?

- I mean, hauling horses, I'd say probably 20 hours.

20?

- How far away is the nearest city?

- Maybe an hour.

- All right, well, I'll fly and meet your ass there.

Listen, the easiest thing

about cowboying is hauling horses, sweetie.

- Well, I'm not doing any cowboying. You are.

I'm gonna rent a suite at the nearest Hyatt

and I'll drive to you for Happy Hour.

Really?

- So how long do you think y'all gonna be gone for?

- Hell, it'll take at least a year for it to pencil out.

- You're going to Texas for a year?

You didn't care to mention that?

- We just found out today.

Abby.

Abby?

Abby!

Abby.

- Abigail. - Did you quit your job?

- Why would I do that?

- Did you demand to stay on the ranch here?

I'm sure someone is...

Look, I don't see the point in you running after me

if you don't have something different to tell me.

- Abby, you don't understand... - Then explain it to me.

- You sing in the shower? - I sing everywhere.

Cowboying. That's how I sing.

If the Grand Ol' Oprey is your Super Bowl,

then moving five thousand head to land we don't know

and keeping that herd together,

and protectin' them through winter,

and new predators and new diseases, that's mine.

- Chasing a dream, I understand.

I just wish that dream was me.

- You don't like the band?

- The band?

He's... he's good.

- Just... - You look sad.

- You know I look at...

look at all these people...

this is dying.

It's already dead where you're from.

But now all the people where you're from are...

coming out here and I can't...

I can't stop it.

- Okay.

- Have you tried?

- Well that's, um...

why I became governor.

- You ran for governor to stop an airport in a subdivision

and you did that it one day.

What I never understood about you guys

is all you do is bitch about how much people

move into rural America, ruin it,

change the culture,

but I've lived all over the mountain west.

Gunnison, Santa Fe,

Jackson Hole, Telluride,

and not once...

never once...

did my neighbour bring me to a branding

or the fair.

- Or the harvest or whatever community ritual is happening,

they just glared at my hiking shorts and my license plate

and judged me.

Same way I judged you.

- Don't get me wrong. - I'm not ordering a steak

for dinner any time soon.

But I understand now.

I understand why you brand

and why you vaccinate

and why move them from one pasture to another.

Twelve million tourists a year come to Montana from cities.

You might wanna think about inviting a few of them over

so they understand who you really are

and what you really do

because they have you pegged as a bunch of misogynist bigots

who are ruining the environment

and that is not who you are.

- You're a smart woman, Summer. - Very, very smart woman.

- I'm a smart person.

Well, women are smarter than men to begin with so I'm just

judging you against your peers.

Thanks for kidnapping me. I'm really enjoying it.

I didn't...

I did not kidnap you... I commuted your sentence to house arrest.

- At your house.

I guess in the narrowest of legal interpretations

maybe...

you're right.

- Thanks for doing it.

- As your press advisor I suggest you postpone that look.

- You're my environmental advisor.

My press advisor's behind me, making out.

- You have no intention of running for a second term do you?

- Absolutely zero.

- What is it about sad songs and cowboys?

- I don't care what they think.

- You made that abundantly clear.

- Well there's no one in front of us.

Very few to my right

and everyone to my left is with me.

That just leaves the 1,500 behind us.

Yeah.

Yeah. Well...

I think you're gonna like this trick.

The actions of Governor Dutton have not only robbed Montanans

of six thousand jobs and annual revenue in the billions,

his actions have exposed Montana to litigation

that will cost the state billions more,

likely bankrupting the state.

Which robs your children of school funding,

robs our towns of emergency services,

places our roads and infrastructure in disrepair.

It threatens the quality of life for all Montanans.

After weighing his actions and the cost of those actions

for every Montanan,

I call on this assembly for a vote to impeach.

Mister Speaker, what say ye?

What do you think?

- I think it's perfect.

Next time on the mid-season finale of Yellowstone..

Jamie: The greatest threat to that ranch is our father.

So I will remove the threat.

I got something to ask Kayce. I need his help.

I need it from all of ya.

- Governor Dutton has violated state law.

The Attorney General's office is seeking impeachment.

Beth: He has declared war upon us.

I'm aware, Beth.
