00:13I'm sure it's quiet, isn't it?
00:16We're in a ranch without a herd, sweetheart.
00:21We'll fill these pastures again one day.
00:24It might just take us a minute, that's all.
00:28Yeah.
00:34Carter still hasn't spoken to me.
00:38I should've told him.
00:41Yeah, just give him some time, he'll come around.
00:46You sure about this?
00:50Honey, it'll pay the bills. We'll put food on the table.
00:54Do we come up with a plan?
00:58We'll come up with a plan.
01:02Love you.
01:03Love you.
01:15Come on.
01:16Come on.
01:16Come on.
01:16Come on.
01:33Come on.
01:33If you'd like to take the grand tour, a lonely house that once was a long sweet home.
01:46This is Bueller's son, Joaquin.
01:49I know my reason, but he's reasonable.
01:56Come on, Joaquin.
01:59This is Rep. Wielder.
02:01Bueller wants to meet him.
02:03She's back here.
02:04We didn't fix the time, but I ain't ever caught your mother off guard yet.
02:09Come on.
02:14Never cease to amaze that the shit wealthy waste their wealth on it.
02:19Yeah.
02:21She wants to speak with you.
02:22Alone.
02:24Okay.
02:25Godspeed. I'll wait for you in the truck.
02:38I don't normally take meetings at this hour.
02:41Whoever mentioned that, I might be able to help you.
02:44Oh.
02:48Oh.
02:49I hear you manage the Yellowstone.
02:51Yes, ma'am.
02:52Twenty-five years.
02:53Uh-huh.
02:53Then you bought the Edwards Ranch with the Dutton girl.
02:55My wife, Bathia.
02:56Well, it's good land.
02:58It's better cattle.
02:59Sit down.
03:04You ever form in two properties?
03:07All due respect, ma'am.
03:08Your ranch and my ranch put together in a quarter of what the Yellowstone is.
03:12Oh, so you're a man with an appetite.
03:13No, I'm just a man who likes work.
03:15Well, that's an attractive quality.
03:18If you don't mind me asking, who is Rob Will?
03:22My son.
03:23Y'all have met.
03:24Briefly, yeah.
03:25Well, let's just say he's on an indefinite vacation.
03:28What else did Everett tell you?
03:30Which part?
03:31About meeting help.
03:33Oh.
03:34He mentioned that your current foreman, these are his words, of course, is a fucking idiot.
03:41Oh, McKinney.
03:42He doesn't pull punches, does he?
03:43No, ma'am.
03:43He doesn't.
03:46Well.
03:49We've got 75,000 acres.
03:51About 2,200 head.
03:54Mexican crossbreed.
03:55We sell to big box retailers, but mismanagement has been a bit of a bugaboo of late.
04:00Well, would you like me to fix your problem?
04:02Well, I wonder, can you?
04:04If it's ranching, I can, yes, ma'am.
04:05My margins have grown razor thin.
04:07I need someone who implements efficiency.
04:10A man who works smarter, not just harder.
04:13Well, I can do both.
04:14I like a tight-lipped ship.
04:17Rio Paloma loves to gossip.
04:19Well, ma'am, other people's business.
04:21It ain't mine.
04:25Well, a few names are as revered as John Dutton's.
04:28I suppose if you work for him for 25 years, you can work for anyone.
04:33I also know that despite its tragic end, the Yellowstone was not a three-ring circus.
04:40No.
04:40I wouldn't allow it.
04:43Do whatever it takes to get my ranch in order, and I'll pay you handsomely.
04:46Not just with my money, but with my loyalty.
04:53I'll be here at 4.30 a.m.
04:55Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jackson.
05:06You know, this is not our only option.
05:10I could make some calls.
05:12Dallas, New York.
05:14I could be earning within a month.
05:17But I'd be gone.
05:20No.
05:23I don't know what's that, darling.
05:26I want you next to me.
05:29Well, I'm always next to you.
05:33I'll see you in the best, Rudy.
06:04I'll see you in the best.
06:34I'll see you in the best.
07:04I'll see you in the best.
07:19I'll see you in the best.
07:47I'll see you in the best.
07:52I'll see you in the best.
08:08Who is that?
08:11Yeah, who the fuck are you?
08:14They're our calves to wean.
08:18Get your gear together and get your asses in the saddle.
08:23You know that in ten minutes.
08:29Wait, I know you.
08:30From a gas station.
08:41This is fucking bullshit.
09:00Ma'am?
09:01Yeah?
09:02Forces are cared for.
09:04Anything else I can do?
09:06You can still call me ma'am.
09:09I got a name.
09:10Oh, okay.
09:11Just know there's no words beneath me.
09:20He liked you.
09:21Who?
09:23My dad.
09:25Sure would have liked to have met him.
09:36I got one.
09:40Got one.
09:42Got one.
09:48Not much of a wrench anymore.
09:58I keep looking for the herd.
10:02You know, like they're still here.
10:05Take away something you see every day.
10:08Sun.
10:10Birds.
10:11Wind even.
10:14The brain can't quite catch up.
10:20Is it fifteen years you were inside?
10:24It's a long fucking time.
10:28What'd you miss the most?
10:30Lots of things.
10:34But mostly the peace and quiet of a lonely night.
10:38Yeah, I'd miss that.
10:41Not sure I'm meant for peace, though.
10:48Me neither.
10:52But they say God's ways are mysterious.
10:56Yeah.
10:58Mystery's right out there.
11:00For me, anyway.
11:03Right here.
11:06Land's as good a God as any.
11:10Maybe better.
11:16I keep looking, then.
11:19Keep trying, that's for sure.
11:25Hey, whatever you're working on over there, Beth.

24:43Where are we going?
24:45Howdy, other way.
24:46Pass on the floor.
24:47On to the left, right!
24:48Oh, suckers.
24:57That's it.
24:58Oh, shit.
25:00Fuck you.
25:02It's not a fucker.
25:05What?

25:24No!
25:27No!
25:29No!
25:33Stop! Get down, I'll shoot!
26:06He had a knife. Yeah, I think he did.
26:08Damn near, he caught me.
26:19It's like...
26:34Dinner's on the table.
26:35Well, thank you, man, but I believe my wife's got dinner waiting for me.
26:39I smoked an 18-hour brisket.
26:42Oh, yeah?
26:43All right, well, I guess I'll be up in a little while.
26:45All right, of course you will. You're a man with an appetite.
26:58Why?
27:00What happened?
27:01You know what the fuck happened?
27:02I did the job just like Miss Beulah told me, and y'all up and replaced me?
27:06Circumstances have changed.
27:07Well, I'll tell you what hadn't changed. A dead fucking cowboy named Wes Ayers.
27:11That sounds dangerous to close to a threat.
27:15You were the last one to see him alive.
27:16Your brother pulled the trigger.
27:18Are you sure?
27:19Because you had the gun.
27:21It's hard to tell whose prince they're gonna find.
27:23You threatened me now.
27:25Just stating facts.
27:27Well, here's a fact for you.
27:29I didn't forget about y'all's cattle.
27:32And I didn't forget why Wes took that bullet.
27:41There's two ways to leave the ranch. Chet's.
27:48Choose wisely.
27:50Choose wisely.
28:06Choose wisely.
28:07Choose wisely.
28:07Choose wisely.
28:09Choose wisely.
28:11Choose wisely.
28:13Choose wisely.
28:14Choose wisely.
28:16Choose wisely.
28:17Choose wisely.
28:17Choose wisely.
28:19Choose wisely.
28:20Choose wisely.
28:20Choose wisely.
28:21Choose wisely.
28:27Hey, Ollie.
28:28Hey.
28:29Just checking on you.
28:31You'll be back soon?
28:32No, I'm going to stay for dinner.
28:33Okay.
28:35Now you do what you need to do.
28:36Yeah, I'll call you in a few hours.
28:38Okay, bye.
28:38Bye, Peter.
28:39Talk soon.
28:55Bye.
29:22To her wife is no good.
29:24It's a drunkard.
29:25Insurance fraudster.
29:26And it's beef.
29:28Man stole from the sick and the elderly.
29:31It's cow shit.
29:33Cow shit stuck in the hill of this county's boot
29:35and was bound to get scraped off one way or another.
29:37Who's my friend?
29:40Son, I think grief is clouding your judgment.
29:43It's okay.
29:44It happens to the best of us.
29:48You killed him.
29:51This is your second time in my jail.
29:54Which makes you a repeat offender like your buddy Dwight.
29:58So I'm going to think real hard about where that got him.
30:05People are going to have questions about that.
30:07Small people don't ask dangerous questions, Carter.
30:12How smart are you, son?
30:16I don't want my folks to know.
30:19Then you ordered Dwight Weiss tonight.
30:23You never saw a thing.
30:25And you never say a word.
30:31Ed?
30:32Sun rises and sits just like regular.
30:45We left your truck at the chapel trailhead.
30:48Three miles on.
30:52Better get a move on.
31:06So, tell me, how is it?
31:08Well, we've already made some changes.
31:11Mm-hmm.
31:12Who?
31:13Ma'am, Chet doesn't work here any longer.
31:16Huh.
31:17Color me unsurprised.
31:20He's the kind of cowboy that, uh, well, he poisons it well.
31:24No, Chet's just over his skis.
31:26And frankly, a stopgap.
31:28Until we found someone better like you.
31:30Please eat.
31:37How long have you been married?
31:39Married?
31:40Mm-hmm.
31:41Not very long.
31:41Just, uh, been chasing death my whole life, that's all.
31:44Yeah?
31:44Mm-hmm.
31:45Cupid's arrow got you young, huh?
31:47I was 15 years old shoveling shit for her father when I met her.
31:50Oh?
31:51Bottom of the food chain, you wooed John Dutton's daughter?
31:54Well, every dog has his day.
31:56Well, good on you.
31:57Tell me about her.
32:02Well, um, beautiful.
32:06Intelligent.
32:08Fierce.
32:10Tender.
32:12Bro.
32:16I'm a bit like you.
32:19Cheers to that.
32:27How's 8,000 a month?
32:29Plus a truck and a house.
32:31I don't need the truck or the house, ma'am.
32:359,000?
32:39I get 11.
32:44Sold.
32:46You want me to go get my checkbook right now?
32:49I'll go ahead and eat first.
32:50Just do it.
33:06Just get me a minute.
33:10You know, you start calling me for rides, you're going to have to start tipping.
33:17What's wrong?
33:19Come here.
33:20Come here.
33:21It's okay.
33:22I got you.
33:26It's okay.
33:27Come here.
33:29It's okay.
33:34I do not have time for you, Joaquin.
33:37Where's Whitney Ayers?
33:38Still no sign of her.
33:40But that's why we brought this to you.
33:42Why we elected you.
33:43Yeah, she's gone.
33:45There's no word of her visiting kin.
33:47There's been no phone calls, no bank activity.
33:49There's no LPRs in or out of the state from the toll roads.
33:55You'll keep looking harder.
33:57I could put the whole station on it.
33:59It wouldn't make a damn difference.
34:00Why's that?
34:01Well, the amount of time that's passed, there's two possibilities.
34:05The first is she's dead.
34:08And the second, you're going to like a whole lot less.
34:13Don't get the fuck out of my chair.
34:18Don't forget who paid for it.
34:25Ma'am?
34:27Uh-huh.
34:27You're a visitor.
34:32Your husband just left.
34:34I changed my mind about that drink.
34:40Obon 18.
34:42Well, how'd you know?
34:43We have a mutual friend.
34:57How do you do it?
34:59What's that?
35:00Carry this place.
35:02The size.
35:06The legacy.
35:10You know, I watched my father.
35:12He spent his life defending his ranch against the enemies.
35:15In and outside of the fence line.
35:18Well, I'll have plenty of help.
35:20But the burden of the burden of it.
35:23That's all yours, isn't it?
35:25But you don't carry it.
35:27The weight of it.
35:27Like him.
35:28You seem unflappable.
35:32You seem unflappable.
35:36Effortless.
35:41Men have the luxury of being unapologetically themselves.
35:45For women, it's a bit more complicated.
35:49Hmm?
35:50It doesn't have to be.
35:53How about you and I speak truthfully?
35:58All right.
36:06We destroyed our herd.
36:11Foot and mouth.
36:18That's quite a secret to divulge to a stranger.
36:20I'll take the risk.
36:22FMD could cause serious trouble with the authorities if they found out.
36:27You know, there's two things that I don't do well, Bula.
36:33One of them is fear.
36:35Uh-huh.
36:36And the other?
36:38Lose money.
36:42My father, he, uh, he had no interest in monetizing his ranch.
36:47His dream was to preserve, to uphold a promise, and keep the place whole, which we did, but
36:54it killed him.
36:56I know your land has covered it.
36:58I know people have tried to steal that since the fucking Texas Revolution, and for good reason.
37:07But your family's blood is in that dirt, so I get why you want to protect it.
37:13I understand the lengths you will go to to achieve that.
37:18In 07, you and your son, you must have been so fucking desperate, you turned this place into a game
37:22lodge for trophy hunters.
37:26You welcomed in any son of a bitch with a blank check and an empty space on his wall.
37:32In 2010, South Texas suffered the worst drought in a century, turning this place to fucking dust.
37:39You almost lost everything, but you didn't.
37:43It was impressive.
37:46But since then, Bula, you have been over-leveraged and under-capitalized.
37:53This place is held together with tape and bailing wire.
37:57You are easy prey, Bula.
37:59And you know it.
38:01It was only a matter of time before solar or wind come for you.
38:06It takes a real fucking backbone to hold your ground.
38:10Well, I trust hiring your husband was a step in the right direction.
38:13Mm-hmm.
38:14Best decision you've ever made for this place.
38:17But it's your next one that I'm here for.
38:19And what's that?
38:21Evolve or die.
38:23Beth, this ranch is 190 years old.
38:26That's a legacy that's endured.
38:28Yeah, a legacy is a beautiful thing, but only if it fucking survives.
38:31What are you selling?
38:32Freedom.
38:33How?
38:34Me.
38:39You hire me.
38:43In three years,
38:45I could rebuild this 10-petal brand into a household name.
38:50A line of premium cuts.
38:52It will be bespoke, recession-proof.
38:56We only target high-end buyers.
38:58That way, we mitigate the volatility of beef prices.
39:02When the market dips,
39:03your stakes will stay steady
39:05in Vegas,
39:06New York,
39:07L.A.
39:08But you're going to need a new herd.
39:10Your fucking Mexican crossbreed,
39:12they won't cut it.
39:16I can see your story,
39:18Rula.
39:18I can fucking sell it.
39:21Walk in overseas strategy now.
39:23Mm-hmm.
39:24How's that working out for you?
39:27I'm offering you an exit.
39:30So when you are ready to hang it up,
39:32you can.
39:35And I promise you,
39:36you will have something substantial
39:37to leave your granddaughter.
39:40So Everett told you more than my favorite brand of scotch?
39:43No, he didn't need to.
39:46I understand you.
39:49You don't know me yet.
39:53But nobody will fight harder for you.
39:57When I want something,
39:58I usually get it.
40:02Rip is foreman.
40:04I take your stakes to market.
40:07We manage everything for you.
40:09What's that going to cost me?
40:11Well, nothing right now.
40:13But I will want 20% of the profits.
40:16And in five years,
40:17Rip and I are out.
40:20Why wouldn't I slap Dutton Ranch on the label?
40:23That's worth 20%.
40:25Because my name is not for sale.
40:29Dutton will never be part of this deal.
40:32Ever.
40:35But you get me.
40:38You get me
40:39and my services.
40:42First of all.
40:44First of all.
41:24Why was she here?
41:29Beth works for me now.
41:32Are you out of your mind?
41:34We're diversifying.
41:36Premium certified Angus.
41:38Ranch to table.
41:39We don't invite strangers into this business.
41:42You're not a cattleman, Keno.
41:45Rip Wheeler is.
41:46Oh.
41:47And Beth,
41:48she's a fucking Dutton.
41:51She's like a cockroach
41:53after an atomic bomb.
41:55A fighter.
41:56A survivor.
41:59Yellowstone was under constant assault.
42:01She held the front line for years.
42:02You are making a very dangerous assumption
42:05about what they're willing to
42:06or not willing to do.
42:07Rip and Beth have secrets.
42:09And I've learned people with secrets
42:11can be useful.
42:13Corruptible, even.
42:14No, no matter what else.
42:30You got more?
42:39Police!
42:40Police out!
42:55You scared the shit out of me, brother.
42:57I'm back in the saddle.
43:00Ma'am.
43:04You only brought me in?
43:05Yeah, come in.
43:07Well, this is delightful.
43:37What you up to, honey?
43:38Ma'am.
43:43A plan.
43:44Yeah.
43:46If we can't afford the life
43:47that we want right now,
43:51we'll make it work together.
43:55You give me a week,
43:57I'll know everything there is
43:59to know about Beulah Jackson.
44:01Well, let me tell you
44:02about Beulah Jackson.
44:04About three weeks ago,
44:06I found a dead body
44:07on our property.
44:09It floated over from the tin pedal.
44:13I took care of it.
44:16But we need to be careful
44:17with this family.
44:20Why didn't you tell me?
44:26Peace, I guess.
44:29Well, peace will have to wait.
44:30Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:31Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:32Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:33Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:34Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:34Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:35Peace, I'll see you next time.
44:35Peace, I'll see you next time.
