(intense music)
(falls with a thud)
- You guys for sure make it from 310 to 401.
But it's been a blast-- - It's been, yeah
- To be a guest star on your talk show.
- Yeah, and we appreciate that.
(upbeat rock music)
- Dad, have a good day.
- Believe I'm all out of those.
- Whew, the final day of shooting.
- We had that ending on the end day for us,
and a great place to--
- To catch our breath.
- Like pause the movie when you have to get something,
like whoa, something really crazy happened.
- Take it in.
- It's almost like it doesn't feel like an ending,
in part, because it's just a beginning.
They've just taken the brand.
- But also how selfish we are,
thinking about us for that.
What about the five main characters who are
in imminent death zones?
- Right, obviously, we're sitting here talking about
our burn cream.
- I don't know what that is. Don't--
(room explodes)
- When they blew up Kelly, I went to the prop guys,
or special effects, and I was like,
"So, give me the proximity to her face was this bomb
Is that survivable?"
And the guy was asking everybody, trying to--
- Because it took down a whole building,
and somehow she's holding the box,
but you'll be back,
you'll be fine. - I don't know how--
What we're gonna do.
Do you have any clue?
- I'm lying face-down in the dirt at the end of this shit.
It's a whole new show.
So much is uncertain
at the end of 310-- - There's so many variables.
- It's so exciting, and it--
This world that we've spent three seasons building
is shattered in ten minutes. - Yeah.
Yeah.
- JD? Boom, gonzo.
Luke Grimes
- Bullet to the chest. - G-g-gonzo.
John Dutton's legacy is in more danger
than it ever has been,
because he's lying in the dirt bleeding.
- Right, right.
- And his greatest soldiers, his most powerful allies,
are laid low in ten minutes. (snaps fingers)
- Yeah.
- So Rip is turning to Jamie.
Jamie seems to also have closed the door on John Dutton.
- Rip, I don't think you should call me anymore.
- Tell me,
how do we save, ya know-- - Where do we--
Yeah, how do we--
- "Kitt, get me outta here!"
- Maybe that's how we're...
Maybe that's why we got branded.
- That's a Knight Rider reference. You don't--
You were too young for that.
(Knight Rider theme)
- Far too young. (record scratches)
- Jesus Christ. - You just aged yourself.
(drum riffs, movie reel beeps)
- Laramie, let's...
Seriously?
- How did you feel that when we walked into the bunkhouse
and we saw Laramie and Mia there,
and then to know that,
obviously Mia is now accounted for,
and it's Laramie,
and to now have Lloyd be the person
that Laramie decides to pick.
How does...
Especially for Ryan, in that situation,
how did that make you feel?
And then afterwards, when it wasn't Lloyd,
then it was Walker,
how did--
- Listen, I mean--
(Jefferson laughs)
I think I understand your question.
- (laughs) It was like,
"Hey what do you think's up with that?"
And it was like, (and slaps)
"Okay, imagine...
"Allow me to paint for you a scenario."
- I just want to paint a more colorful picture.
- How do you feel about Laramie ditching Lloyd for Walker?
- That--
- And not-- And overlooking you.
- But her picking Lloyd just to begin with.
- I need this whole dynamic explained to me.
- Right.
- Like, looking around the room and going, "That one."
That's a kick in the nuts.
- Right.
- But I'm a big boy, I can take that. That's cool.
- I gotta start rodeoing again.
- Waking up and realizing that
she then had second pick.
- That is shocking to me!
- You feel like the last kid on the basketball team.
It's like, hey-- I'm--
- Like an alternate.
- Come on!
- Yeah. (Jefferson laughing)
- So then, that-- So then, I'm just like,
"God damn that guy."
He's got a cool hat, and he's pretty handsome,
and fucking the guitar.
♪ Oh baby ♪
♪ It feels so good ♪
And I'm like, "You're a dick."
- He's got is dumb guitar again, there he goes.
(Ian laughing)
Strumming the strings of his guitar.
- I got a little crush on him too, but that's cool.
- Yeah, that's fine.
- It's all good. I get it, it makes sense.
- It's not that he...
It's not that Laramie picked Walker,
it's that Walker didn't pick Ryan.
(Ian laughing)
He wishes that you could also be
nestled up on his chest and be struck.
- Maybe if I went blonde.
(all laughing)
- That is one fine son of a bitch.
(guitar riff plays, movie reel beeps)
(rock music plays)
(Women laughing)
- Well, welcome to stories from the bunkhouse.
The segment where we play fake poker
and talk about our jobs.
- And we are the bunkhouse babes.
- And we are the bunkhouse babes!
- Now, Hassie, what was it like
to work with Cole Hauser?
- Are you guys comfy?
- Oh! What are you guys doing here?
- Do you need anything?
- Welcome to the show.
Thank you so much for coming.
- Oh, thank you. It's so nice to be here.
Thanks for warming up this chair.
- I remember, very specifically,
the first time you met Ryan Bingham.
Will you guys talk a little bit about working with him?
- We only worked together for one day,
and one of those days was a scene that was, uh
kind of a forced intimacy, and I think
You can have your hesitations with that stuff,
and then you meet him, and he's like the...
Such a mellow, kind dude, that I was like,
"Oh, this is gonna be fine."
He's a classy man. I like him.
- The first day I got to see him with you,
he was playing music,
and we went down and saw a couple takes.
I'm a big fan of his music,
and my first experience getting to see him
was literally getting to see him play.
- You know, I have to credit Yellowstone,
because I kinda got hip to his music from the show
and seeing him play on the show, and I was like,
"Oh, that dude actually, like--"
You could tell he's--
not just an actor.
- The guy's is super talented.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I also wanna bring up how you give him
this choice to be something different.
- Do you know what to brand means?
- It 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.
- Oh, yeah, I think for Jimmy, it's like
he has always just kind of gravitated towards
the strongest voice in the room.
Like he's always just kind of clung on to
any port in the storm.
And Rip and Lloyd have been so kind to him,
even as they've been, sort of, difficult task-masters.
And I think that this is maybe
the first time in Jimmy's life that he
has the luxury of choice, and the privilege of choice.
And to be confronted with that is, I think, is terrifying,
because for the first time, he has to actually
ask himself what he, Jimmy, wants,
not what his boss wants.
- Are you quittin' rodeo?
- You ultimately think that character's
gonna cost you or benefit you,
at the end of it.
- So far, she's cost me a broken pelvis,
(Hassie laughing)
couple of broken vertebrae-- - Yeah.
- Like, I'm pretty fucked up!
- (mumbles) and you're going back for more. (laughs)
- But also giving him a reason to recover, right?
- Still here?
- Through thick and thin.
- He hasn't had a lot of reasons
to get back up in his life.
I think he's been operating like a sort of
Like a beaten dog his whole life,
and getting back up out of a instinct.
And for the first time, I feel like
he has a reason to get back up.
- That's nice.
- That is nice.
- I really like that.
- I love that.
- When I saw you rodeo, I saw a really happy man.
- She knows that there's a choice, at a certain point.
And I think it's a matter of
trying to give him the confidence to
to actually make that choice,
instead of just sitting in what's comfortable and safe,
which literally, is like
Yellowstone is safe right now,
because you do have the brand.
- Is anyone safe at Yellowstone?
- Right.
(Hassie Laughing)
- Right. - But I think to a certain
extent Rip tells Jimmy what to do,
Rip gives sense to Jimmy, a sense of belonging,
community. - Purpose, yeah.
- But he tells him what to do.
- What is this, your way of tellin' me not to rodeo?
- It's my way of showin' you why you shouldn't.
- And I think Mia's maybe
the first person in Jimmy's life
who asks him
what he wants to do (laughs) - Yeah, yeah.
- I saw a man who risked his life to do what he loved.
And I fell in love with him.
- I was really excited to explore this storyline
for Jimmy.
I was really interested to see
how Jimmy was going to progress as far as,
what does he want, and what is he gonna do?
Because he just comes into the series as such a lost sheep.
- You Jimmy?
- As an audience member, you want desperately
for him to have something to identify with.
- Yeah.
- And so, I think it's really interesting
to see Mia come in there, and go,
"You do have a choice, and I do want the best for you,
but I'm gonna push you as hard as these guys do."
- I'm fuckin' scared.
- Who ain't scared?
- I really can't thank you enough for coming to play.
- Thank you for being with us, thank you
for sharing this time. (Eden and Hassie Laugh)
- Thanks, guys.
(movie reel beeps)
(country music plays)
(clapperboard claps)
- There is no such thing as morality.
There's own the land, and there's lose the land.
- You think that there's these incredible parallel stories
happening with John and the Duttons,
and then Rainwater and this sort-of army
that he's assembling to fight his version of this war.
And right now, both of them, John Dutton and Rainwater,
they both respect the land, they value the land,
they have different ideas of what we should do with it--
- Right.
- Or how it should be divvied up.
- Right, right.
- But they have a respect for it that is
not met by these private equity firms--
- Right, at all.
- And by the sort-of goals of these companies.
- It's called economic evolution.
- Rainwater has his Rip, Mo Brings Plenty.
- You travel with a man from a warrior clan,
but you do not let him make war.
- Who's a fucking incredible actor,
and is every bit as--
- Loyal.
- Frightening and loyal and competent and powerful
as Rip.
If Rip's the strong, silent type,
Mo is even, maybe, the stronger, more silent type. (laughs)
- Suggesting things isn't my job, chairman.
- Yeah, 'cause he says nothing.
- He says...
And he's an incredible soldier.
And then also this season, Rainwater brings in his Beth.
- See you in court.
- His legal mind, Angela Blue Thunder.
- Right.
- Who's every bit as powerful
and tenacious as Beth is.
- Right.
- I will beat them at their own rules.
- They make the rules to be broken.
- You have this very interesting dynamic where it's like,
not everybody that's fighting with you is for you.
- In a room full of his enemies,
you look like his friend.
- Right? And the one thing is,
you're always trying to find
some kind of common thread.
Something where it's like, okay, is there a way
that we can not point these guns at each other,
and point it somewhere else?
And I think in this, the Duttons are not interested
in building anything on their land,
and neither is Rainwater and their tribe.
- I don't want a casino anymore than I want an airport.
- I don't really want another casino, either.
- And so, I think when you have these corporations
that wanna come in and just build this and build that,
it's like, well no, no no.
You have no emotional ties to the land.
- Best of luck.
- We stopped wolf hunting for a fucking decade.
What do you think we're gonna do to an airport?
- So let's take care of them,
and then we'll turn on each other.
- For the time being--
- Right.
- "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
And I'll use that as long as I can.
And everybody's gonna
gonna take advantage of that,
until the most imminent threat disappears.
And then, we'll return to business as usual.
- We have an opportunity to free that land of him.
And it will look like everyone but you who did it.
- I think the Rainwater-Dutton conflict is also
their sort-of unity is also personified in Monica and Kayce,
who represent sort of both.
- Right.
- In the Venn diagram, there's this overlap.
Literally, in Tate.
- Yeah.
- Right? Like,
Tate represents both of the-- - He's both sides.
- So, they're not necessarily friends,
but they're not always necessarily enemies, either.
- But you're not his friend.
- No.
I am not.
(slow guitar riff)
