03x10 - The World Is Purple

[bunniefuu]

[MUSIC]

You must've been really drunk to do that.

Do what?

This.

Why in the hell would you do that?

It's kind of a long story.

I got time.

[ROOSTER CROWS]

Oh, sh*t.

No, I don't.

Get moving.

Laramie, let's...

Seriously?

Hey, hey.

Laramie.

Wake up.

We're late.

Let's go.

[GIGGLES]

Gonna be a long day, Lloyd.

Didn't get much sleep.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

If you're looking for a connection to this place, you're not gonna find it.

This is just a rental.

It's not a connection to this place that I'm looking for.

Do I have any brothers?

Cousins?

Sisters?

What are you trying to decide?

Who my family is.

Well, that's already been decided.

You got a couple cousins in east Montana and a half brother somewhere...

Your grandfather is holed up in a nursing home in Fargo.

Bastard's nearly a hundred and he is living proof that only the good die young.

And there's me.

You know what I am.

And your mother...

I remember I'd been out long-hauling g*dd*mn cattle.

I came home, and I found you screaming...

'cause you were f*cking starving.

You had a hold of an old cr*ck pipe and you were sucking on the tip of it like it was a nipple...

in between screams.

And I found her bent over the sink by some fat piece of sh*t...

and I knew that you had only one chance in life, and that was without her in it.

So, I did what I did...

I took her life and gave up mine.

For you.

Looking at you now, I would say that it was probably the best choice I could've made.

John Dutton may have raised you, but did he love you, son?

Does he love you now?

He loves a g*dd*mn ranch.

That's all he's ever loved.

You standing in my yard tells me you already knew it.

I'm your family, son.

I'm the only one you got.

Everything that I worked for.

Everything that I thought I was...

I'm going to lose.

I was raised to run that ranch.

I built it into what it is today.

Then run it.

It's not mine.

It's not for sale.

Not that I could afford it.

Nobody can afford Yellowstone.

Yellowstone ain't a ranch.

It's an empire.

Empires you take.

I don't know how to do that.

Oh, it's the simplest thing on Earth.

You k*ll the king.

[MUSIC]

I'm not a k*ller.

You've never k*lled?

Yeah, you've k*lled.

Of course, you've k*lled.

You're a Randall.

And k*lling is our only gift.

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

[GASPS]

Sorry.

Don't be sorry.

It takes time.

Guess I know what it feels like to be you now.

Yeah.

In more ways than one.

You know, we moved to the ranch to be with you and now you're never here.

This, uh... this livestock thing.

It's a full time job.

You like it, don't you?

[CHUCKLES]

I like having somebody to fight for.

Rather than some thing.

When you fight for a thing, the thing don't care if you win or lose because the thing ain't alive.

But when you fight for people, they care.

Yeah, that's what I like about it, too.

But I think a thing can care.

I think the land cares.

I know you do, baby.

[KISS]

That's what I love about you.

[MUSIC]

TV ANNOUNCER: The U.S. will ban visas for officials linked to the allegations if they do not cooperate with the U.N.

Even with the global slowdown that we're seeing, it seems structural credit won't get hit like it did last time in the recession.

What we're really concerned with is high yield and leverage loans...

Interest rates globally have been in secular decline for the past -plus years...

Businesses around the globe are looking for a way to get yields.

Now even with all that said, the markets...

WADE: Leave me a message and I'll call you back.

Just checking in with you 'cause you haven't checked in with me.

TV ANNOUNCER: The Fed dropping interest rates for the second time...

You know, your office has a balcony.

From the balcony I see the parking lot.

From the roof I see the reservation.

I like the view of the parking lot better.

You know, you can wish we weren't your people, but we are.

That's not what I wish.

What do you wish, Angela?

I wish I could go back in time and tell our people to sell every w*apon they have.

Every horse.

Then take that money and go to New York and hire the biggest law firm in the city.

If I could do that, we wouldn't be standing here.

We'd be standing at the gates of Yellowstone and still calling it home.

We'll stand there again.

Not with you, we won't.

There's no such thing as morality.

There's own the land and there's lose the land.

That's all you'll be judged by.

Not how you do it.

Winners are never judged by "how".

They save that for the losers.

You had a long night.

Yeah.

Thank you, sweetie.

Who'd you k*ll?

Don't ask me that, Beth.

Who'd you k*ll?

What did I just say?

[SIGH]

We don't get to do that anymore.

What's that?

Secrets.

We don't get those.

There's things I do, and then there's things that got to get done.

You don't want to know them.

It's not a secret, darling.

It's a favor.

How many?

Enough.

How many?

It's a big ranch, Beth.

And our enemies don't fight fair, you know that.

How many?

I don't know.

Honestly.

Don't pretend like you don't know how we fight.

Oh, I know how you fight...

I subscribe to Nietzsche's thoughts on right and wrong.

Hmm?

He was a German philosopher who d*ed of syphilis after he cornholed some prost*tute, so not exactly a life to model yours after, but his thoughts on right and wrong, good and evil.

Which were: there's no such thing.

That, I believe.

I believe in loving with your whole soul and destroying anything that wants to k*ll what you love.

That's it.

That's all there is.

[MUSIC]

I believe in the same thing.

I take it back.

You can keep this secret.

Now if you'll excuse me...

I gotta k*ll someone, too.

You ready for this?

They f*cked with the wrong bull, Daddy.

Yes, they did.

I'll see you there.

That thing you wanted back.

I got it.

Want me to put it some place?

Naw, I don't want it.

Just didn't want him to have it.

He's not gonna come looking for it, is he?

No, sir.

That train only runs in one direction.

You find out who was holding his leash?

It's a guy by the name of Roarke.

I don't know who he is.

- Roarke.

- Mm-hmm.

Want me to start asking around?

No.

No need.

When people lose their dogs, they ask everyone if they've seen them.

- He'll show up soon enough.

- Yes, sir.

Let me know if you need anything.

What?

Well, it's nice to see a plan work out for once.

I guess your plan did work out, Dad.

Well...

Not my plan.

My...

My dream, maybe, but...

Your plan.

Your plan for me, if you want to get down to it.

All right, well, if you want to get down to it, it don't matter what my plan was if it ain't your destiny.

I don't believe in destiny.

Yeah, right.

Even you aren't that naive.

Hey, Dad.

Have a good day.

I won't, son.

I believe I'm all out of those.

[MUSIC]

[KISSING NOISES]

Come on, Laramie.

Let's go.

I'm coming.

- You have everything?

- Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I can't make sense of it.

But he could have his assh*le on his chest and I wouldn't care.

That is one fine son of a bitch.

Do you know what a brand means?

- Means I'm a part of something.

- No, that's not what it means.

You brand something so that if it gets lost, everyone knows who it belongs to.

That's why you do it.

- Hi.

- Good morning.

Once the entire party is here, I will escort you in.

The entire party is here, I assure you.

We're still waiting on the governor.

You've got to be f*cking kidding me.

Decided to start the day with a little theater, did you?

Just a little.

It's good to see you again.

- Governor.

- Jamie.

Please, have a seat.

There's coffee, some orange juice, and some assorted pastries over there for anyone willing to brave gluten.

I, for one, am not afraid of gluten.

Could you make me a plate, please, and some coffee?

Well, I say we just dive in.

Mrs.

Hayes, would your team like to start?

The forest service lease has been secured.

FAA has approved both the airport and runway plans.

The airlines have agreed to finance the build of their respective terminals.

Our leases with retail vendors are in place, - which allows us to fund the airport build...

- [PHONES CHIME]

... without using state funds, which negates your requirement to place the bond on the ballot, - because we don't need the bond.

- Did you see this?

We just need...

Mrs. Hayes, is there an issue?

Problem, Willa?

[MOUTHING]

Take that, you f*cking bitch.

Ellis?

Uh, I need to step out for a moment.

Roarke has the authority to speak on our position.

Roarke.

Which one is he?

That's me.

Once you put a name to this face, you will never forget it.

No, I don't believe I will.

Now...

What this provides the state is the added tax revenue from the airport, from ticket sales, car rentals, hotel taxes, fuel sales...

and all with zero investment.

It's a perpetually renewable resource that doesn't cost the state one dime.

Which brings us to you, Mr. Dutton.

The land most suitable to the airport build...

- is this tract.

If you're discussing purchasing land from the Yellowstone, you will need to discuss it with me.

Actually, you have to discuss it with me.

I have power of attorney over the estate.

If the estate were in Utah.

That's where you filed the documents.

The State of Montana does not recognize power of attorney issued by other states.

- The land is in Montana.

- Mm-hm.

But her authority is in Utah.

I mean, if she was an attorney, she would know that.

As it stands, I am the legal authority representing the Yellowstone, and I approve the sale of that tract.

- The hell you will.

- Yes, I will, because if I don't, the Land Commission will condemn it and you will get paid one tenth of what it's worth.

And you will also lose millions on attorneys because I cannot represent the ranch and condemn it at the same time.

- Then don't condemn it.

- It's not my choice.

It's her choice.

It's your choice?

What do you choose, Lynelle?

There is no choice anymore, John.

There are only options.

Could I see the environmental impact report?

The forest service report is in your packet.

Not the forest service report.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife report on the impact of an airport beside the river that feeds our oldest national park.

The one flowing beside runway one, right there.

That will be the basis of our lawsuit, in case anyone was curious.

It will be a class action suit because it impacts native land and park land.

We'll meet with attorneys from the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Sierra Club, you know.

All the g*ng will be there.

Best of luck.

We stopped wolf hunting for a f*cking decade.

What do you think we're going to do to an airport?

We don't need luck.

See you in court.

That's your angle, too, John.

How does this impact your land?

Join our suit.

It won't cost you a cent.

You won't have to hire an attorney.

We'll do it for you.

A little curve ball from the Reservation.

That land is mine.

And no one can sell it but me.

I'd say that as much as you can: "that land is mine".

Get it all out of your system.

Lose your pets, Roarke?

Hmm?

Mm?

You think you're winning this game, you don't even know the g*dd*mn rules.

But don't worry, I'm gonna teach them to you.

You don't say hello, you don't say goodbye.

You got nothing to say to me, son?

BETH: He never has anything to say, Dad.

Oh, I have plenty to say, Beth.

Oh, yeah?

Well, I'm all f*cking ears.

That's what I thought.

[CLEARS THROAT]

ROARKE: Well, I'd say we pulled the band aid.

LYNELLE: Yeah.

The, uh, lawsuits are a concern, though.

We put a pipeline through their reservation, and we did it with the Army Corps of Engineers.

They talk about being too big to fail, they're talking about us.

Governor.

Jamie.

Well...

That must have been difficult.

Not really.

Well, one day he'll see.

I mean, he's gonna know that you did this for him.

No, I didn't.

Not anymore.

From now on, what I do is for me.

ANNOUNCER: Another great run for Brianna O'Barry for a score of .. .for Brianna O'Barry.

Oh, sh*t, I forgot my, uh, Show Sheen in my groom bag.

- I can grab it.

- Hey, Jimmy, you all healed up?

Yeah, we're getting there.

When you gonna be back on the circuit?

Doc said I'm not supposed to ride anymore.

So...

sh*t, Jimmy.

Doc has told us all that before.

ANNOUNCER: Here at Miner Creek Stampede, we are approaching our go time for the final horses...

Are you quitting rodeo?

- Mr. Dutton told me I'm not supposed...

- Mr. Dutton, he's the one who stuck you with that hot iron.

That Mr. Dutton?

I don't want to live the rest of my life in a wheelchair.

Then don't.

Even if you do, come here.

Turn around.

Give it hell, Amberley.

That's all I ever give it.

[MUSIC]

She's paralyzed from the waist down, and she has whipped me more times than I can remember.

[SHOUTING, CHEERING]

When I saw you rodeo, I saw a really happy man.

I saw a man who risked his life to do what he loved.

And I fell in love with him.

Be that man and you can have me.

But be this one, and I'll see ya later.

Hey, I'm scared.

I'm f*cking...

I'm f*cking scared.

Who ain't scared?

Hell, I'm scared every time I run out there, but I cowboy the f*ck up and I do it anyway.

If you're so desperate to belong to something, then belong to me, and we can rodeo our way across this whole damn country.

Belong to that.

But don't be one of that rich man's cattle.

Okay.

Good.

Now go get my groom bag.

[LAUGHS]

I look pretty good leaving, don't I?

Pretty good.

Naw, really good.

You have a window, you know.

A window to what?

In a room full of his enemies, you look like his friend.

But you're not his friend.

No, I'm not.

You have an opportunity to free that land of him.

And it will look like everyone but you who did it.

I'm not a criminal.

It's only a crime by their laws.

By our laws, which have outlasted an ice age, it is duty.

To protect our land and preserve our way of life.

It is religion.

Or did you buy into their religion when you bought into their laws?

I will b*at them with their own rules.

They make their rules to be broken.

The United States has broken every rule it has ever made.

From its first treaty with France to every treaty with us, to their last treaty with Iran.

They only hold others to their rules.

They make w*r when they want, where they want, they take what they want, then make rules that keep you from taking it back.

They make rules for the sl*ve and they make rules for the masters.

You're following the sl*ve rules.

But if you follow the masters' rules, then you'll k*ll him, and give us our land back.

You travel with a man from a warrior clan, but you do not let him make w*r.

You make him a sl*ve, too.

Maybe you've heard enough that you don't ask permission.

Maybe you go and make w*r for our people.

And then... we go home.

Chairmen of the Stockgrower's Association are in your office.

- Which one?

- All of them.

- How you boys doing?

- Good.

Better, with you in office.

Oh, well...

- Appreciate that.

- No, we appreciate it.

How can I help you?

Well, we're thinking maybe... maybe we can help you.

And help ourselves in the process.

Governor's termed out.

She's got two years left.

Time to decide who replaces her is now.

We're thinking that's... that's you, Kayce.

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, we're serious.

I ain't no politician.

You're damn right, you aren't.

You say what you mean and you do what you say.

I'm not sure my brand of justice is what this state wants.

It's exactly what this state wants and needs.

Some bastard goes and steals your cattle, you don't punt it to the sheriff, you just go over there and sh**t the son of a bitch.

I don't think that's much of a campaign slogan.

Hell, son.

You could print "I k*lled a cattle thief" on t-shirts and sell 'em in church.

Not anymore.

Times have changed.

Maybe so.

But Montana hasn't.

Bozeman, Missoula, they don't decide the governor.

Great Falls decides.

Dillon decides.

Miles City decides.

Those hippies will bitch and protest and Twitter out bullshit about not paying off their school loans, but they won't vote.

They're not gonna stand in line and put their money where their mouth is when there's snow on the ski slopes.

They start holding elections in May, we're f*cked.

But until then, we decide who runs this state.

Kayce, these things take time.

Time to plan.

Think about it.

Governors don't have to stand when people leave the room.

You just sit there and shake hands.

[LAUGHS]

Take care.

[MUSIC]

When the board is ready, we'll conference in, but explain to them: this is a hatchet job.

Okay, the caller isn't even an employee.

How can you know that?

The caller is anonymous.

'Cause she looked me in the f*cking eye and told me it was her!

Should have hired her instead of f*ring her.

Can you give us a minute?

Okay.

- You need to start playing dirty.

- I've been playing dirty.

They play dirty right back.

They are playing a zero sum game, they're doing it with my f*cking career.

I will not have it.

Don't feel much like a land deal in Montana, does it?

No.

It feels like an oil deal in Yemen.

And from now on, that's how we treat it.

Can you do that?

I can do whatever you want.

[MUSIC]

Got a flat?

Yeah, I'm trying to call a tow truck, but I don't have any signal.

You got a spare?

I don't know.

It's a rental.

Let's open it and find out.

Guess how old I am.

Eight.

Not my first rodeo, son.

Look.

You got the whole kit right here.

I...

I don't have any money.

I'm just saying...

I don't have anything to give you.

Ma'am, where are you from?

Encino.

That's in California.

I know where Encino is.

Out here, we do things 'cause they're the right thing to do and that's the only reason we need.

You wanna learn a life skill?

What's a life skill?

Well, it's something that'll keep you from standing on the side of the road hoping for a phone signal.

Sounds handy.

And how...

[GRUNTS]

Well...

Never thought I'd have to do this for you again.

Yeah.

Me neither.

How bad is she gonna look, Terry?

Well, it's hard to tell.

Depends on how good the embalmer was.

If he was good, then, uh, she might look like she did when we buried her.

But if he wasn't, then, uh...

It could be bad.

Let's just hope Eddie did the embalming.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was Eddie.

Hey, Mama.

I met somebody.

[MUSIC]

I'm gonna spend the rest of my life with her.

I could have gone to some store and bought her some f*cking ring, but what does that mean?

sh*t, I'm sorry.

Shouldn't curse.

I want her to wear yours.

Maybe you can, uh...

Maybe you can know her a little too, somehow.

I don't know...

[SIGH]

I love you, Mama.

[SIGH]

Thank you.

Hey.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on around.

All right there, right there.

You fall off the horse, you just get back on.

Hmm?

Hey.

Hey, come on.

Hey.

[GRUNTS]

Don't like that, huh?

Just give me a couple good bucks and I'll let it loose.

Come on.
