05x07 - The Dream Is Not Me

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "Yellowstone"

I don't need your permission

to assemble.

This isn't 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.

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.

You know, I've done some

stupid sh*t 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 f*cking talk

to her, you understand?

Try to s*ab me, you f*cking coward?

Try it again and I will sh**t

you where you stand.

Here.

You should drink some water.

It hurts Head's spinning.

Maybe next time you won't

pull a Kn*fe 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 Kn*fe 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 f*cking 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.

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 maximize the grass cycles.

Understanding bull genetics

and diseases.

It was

I never wanted to be a f*cking 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 f*cking 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.

- Mm-hmm.

- But I would like his approval.

I want his appreciation

for that f*cking 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.

- Mm-mm

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.

Mm-mm.

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.

Yes.

I will help you, baby.

I will help you, baby.

Mmm.

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.

Oh, 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.

- Morning, sir.

- Morning.

This is my favorite part.

Of everything we do, this is

this is my favorite.

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.

- Mm-hmm.

- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.

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

- Ah, 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 sh*t, it can be,

but if you married

the love of your life,

the mirror to your soul,

it's pretty f*cking 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 take 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 f*cking bitch

before it happened, so

Well You're very good at it.

I try.

- Chairman Rainwater, right this way.

- Hello.

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 k*ll 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.

Oh, 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.

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, sh*t, 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.

Open her up.

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.

Woo! You jumping in on this?

- You doing it?

- Yep.

- Oh, yeah.

- All right, come on.

- Ready?

- Right.

Right side on one, two, three.

Get him over good.

- Got him?

- Yep.

Great, man, look at

the f*ckin' girl power.

g*n powder? For what?

Girl power. f*cking girl power, man!

You speak f*cking English?

You speak f*cking English?

What the f*ck are you saying?

- f*ck it.

- Just do it!

Come on, little miss sunshine.

I'm so f*cking sorry, little calf.

It's for your own good

so you don't get sick.

I'm sorry, I'm so f*cking sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

I feel like I shouldn't be

watching, but I can't stop.

It's riveting.

This is so f*cking traumatizing.

We're up.

You tell me when you're ready for me.

- Oh my God!

- We're ready.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, this is f*cking traumatizing.

Ooh hoo hoo!

You ever seen one with blackleg?

- No.

- That's traumatizing.

You are doing the calf a big favor.

And if you could do

that favor a little faster.

- Okay.

- Come on!

I'm sorry, little calf,

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

- 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 k*ll 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.

I'll start making some calls.

If half the herd goes, who watches 'em?

Who do you think, Kayce?

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 k*ll 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 f*cking worried

about you k*lling 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 sh*t 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 sh*t.

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

f*cking business.

You know, I really, uh

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 f*cking

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?

Oh, 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.

Oh, 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 defense funds

of environmental groups,

which had no basis to sue you,

but now they are the stewards of the

f*ck!

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 f*cking land back.

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 neighboring 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.

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 f*ckin' bear.

Let's go, right here.

Right here, I want that f*ckin' bear.

That f*ckin' bear right there.

All these games are rigged.

Who gives a sh*t? 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 bear. Come on.

- Hi, what's up?

- How you doing?

Can you explain this game to me?

All you gotta do is toss three balls

into the center hole,

you can pick your prize.

- All right.

- Sounds delightful.

You got it. You get it in

the hole all the time at home.

I don't know.

Well, ball-park it.

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.

How long is the drive?

Gunnison, Santa Fe,

Jackson Hole, Telluride,

never once

did my neighbor bring me to a branding

community ritual is happening,

they just glared at my hiking

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not ordering a steak

come to Montana from cities.

You might wanna think about

inviting a few of them over

who are ruining the environment

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.

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"

The greatest thr*at

to that ranch is our father.

So I will remove the thr*at.

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.

He has declared w*r upon us.

I'm aware, Beth.
