- Boy, you have really (censored) done it this time.
- What's the big deal, Jamie?
I got into a bar fight in Bozeman.
- If the characters wind up in jail
you're gonna need a mugshot.
Which might look a little something like this.
(dramatic music)
- My mugshot is probably something like this.
(dramatic music)
- My mugshot?
- Keep in mind you're in jail, it sucks.
(dramatic music)
- But you're resilient.
You have a terrible secret.
You've done things no one can ever know about.
They're gonna find out and when they do...
(laughing)
(upbeat music)
- Did they catch you for DUI?
- Aggravated assault.
(dramatic music)
- Character wise. - Yeah.
- Who's done time?
- Well, we know Lloyd has done time.
- Yeah. - We know that Walker's--
- Walker got... Yeah, he's been in prison.
Beth has joined that list of people that have...
- So we know Beth... - Been gone to jail.
- We know Jimmy's been in jail.
- A couple times.
- One more felony and they throw away the keys.
- Colby, does he have a dark history?
- No, that's not Colby.
- It's legal.
- Ryan had definitely just because he
he's in law enforcement so...
Beth goes in, she gets Jamie to basically cut her...
- Get her out. Yeah.
- She gets out on a sweetheart deal.
- Disorderly conduct?
- You're welcome.
- Beth gets assigned community service.
What would be her assignment?
What's the worst thing? Reading to small children
in the afternoons for three hours a day?
- Folding clothes.
- I think she's surprisingly domesticated
and she would like that.
I bet she does Rip's laundry.
- You think she would like to fold clothes?
- I think it would be a hell of a lot better
than her picking up trash next to the freeway
or being a valet attendant at a bar.
I think that would be horrible.
- Oh, I think that would be great, that she...
- She had to park cars as people were going into the bar.
That's torture.
That'd be worse thing ever for her.
- And they just kind toss the keys.
- I like the idea of like really harnessing her skills
and like putting her business mind to work
and making her in charge of like the local parks
and recreation in Hamilton, Montana.
- I'll fire every employee. Then I will sell your leases
and equipment to Chevron for 30 cents on the dollar.
- Beth says to Jamie they should put, you know
getting in a bar fight in Bozeman on a T-shirt.
- I don't think the Montana Board of Tourism is too fond
of locals beating the shit out of tourists on vacation.
- What's your slogan?
- If Ryan had a slogan T-shirt I would say something
would be something dumb like "down but not out".
- Yeah, I think Jimmy's would say "I'm with Colby's mom".
(feline roar)
(laughing)
- Interesting.
- Actually I'm gonna see you Thanksgiving
at your mom's house.
(background western music)
- What took you so long?
(laughing)
- I've only been governor a week.
- John Dutton has new power.
One of the ways in which he chooses to exercise
his new found power is to commute Summer's sentence.
- One of the first things he does!
- One of the very first things he does!
- So tell me about this.
I'll do that for him. And they're like, oh no.
- Summer gate!
- Summer gate! - Summer gate.
- I think he feels bad that he put her away for...
- He's like cleaning up.
- It was like, wasn't it like four years or five years?
- They're asking for life.
- It's interesting to see his morality
and when it decides to wield itself and not...
- No more collateral damage, you understand me?
We don't kill sheep.
- Yeah.
- Suddenly he's like...
- There might be a double standard...
- I need to care for the flower.
- Yes.
- Meanwhile, pump six into that one.
- Yes, exactly.
- But obviously we know why she's there, right?
Like, yeah, he cares for her, but he also...
- Great vegan cook. Amazing.
- She's, yeah.
- Should try her tacos.
- She's actually his, John Dutton's dietitian.
- Is there anything to eat
that didn't have a heartbeat last week?
- Summer's now, you know, in the house.
What do you think it is
about summer that just ruffles Beth to death?
- She's passionate about how she feels
and she makes no bones about it.
And her stance about environmentalism
against sort of ranching life is
it's contrary to everything that the family is and does.
- You grow wheat grass?
- We grow wheat which is a grass
until it heads out and then it's a grain.
- It's a different kind of wheat.
- Yeah, it's really interesting.
It seems like Beth and Summer
are probably really similar in some ways.
They both have a pretty rigid ideology
that they are attached to.
- attached to, yeah.
- Those ideologies are mutually exclusive.
The thing that John Dutton does.
That's fascinating.
To think I think he has a lot, he wants to teach Summer,
but I also think he has a lot
that he wants to learn from Summer.
- Help me understand you.
Help me understand the way you think.
- John Dutton is willing to listen
to Summer and I think that drives Beth nuts.
Everything Beth does is to protect John Dutton's idea
of how the west ought to be.
And Summer is, you know, incompatible with that.
- I don't care.
I don't care if she dies in prison,
I don't care if she gets out.
(upbeat music)
- So if you press charges, the state must press charges
against you and since you're not a resident of Montana
you present a flight risk and your bail will be withheld.
- That was sort of genius legaleasing.
I was like, oh she's toast.
- That's it.
- And then, he put a bow on it
and he's like "there you go".
- And that's it.
Above the law.
Okay, well we are going to discuss legal tactics.
Ryan slips on a spill of sumbitch inside the bunkhouse...
- What do you call it?
- Sumbitch.
- And threatens to sue.
What does Rip offer him in the way of worker's comp?
- Rip, can I have a word?
- Ryan gets to be bunkhouse boss for six months
if he forgets that this ever happened.
- You don't tell a soul.
- Colby is caught stealing cattle from a nearby ranch.
(disappointment noises)
- How would Teeter get him out
from under the rancher's thumb?
- Something tells me it has to do with little shimmying
of the hips and a little hat coming down.
- Yeah!
- She's growing on you.
- She's not growing on me.
(giggling)
- I think she would threaten them.
Like I think that she would say "I'm", you know
"if you don't do this, I'm gonna go and cut your balls off
in the middle of the night, then I give it to you".
- What's that?
- Rainwater discovers the Bunkhouse Boys
are operating an unlicensed poker game...
- Want us to deal you in?
- Stepping on his casino business.
How does Rip keep the peace
between the casino and the Yellowstone crew?
- I know how a casino works
and the cards flipping make a difference.
- I think he gives him some money.
You have a casino business already.
You wanna piece of his action, here take 10%.
- I'm gonna show you how to get rid of problems,
so they don't become new problems.
- Summer is arrested for throwing paint
on Beth Dutton's fur coats.
- Fur is murder.
- What would Jimmy do to squash the beef?
- Oh boy. Jimmy would move to Texas.
Maybe Jimmy just replaces the jacket. New jacket
- You know what? I got it.
I've been working overtime. I got this jacket.
- All those jackets. Those fur jackets, though.
- 65, 70 bucks.
- Is there any extra work I could do around here?
Just gotta make some money.
- Here's a hundred.
- Gator's campfire cooking receives a D-rating
from the Bozeman Food Health Department.
- Pass me the potatoes.
- How would Rip get that changed to an A?
Gotta just invite those guys down.
If you eat that cooking, you're not complaining.
- That's a great idea.
He might have a big cookout and invite the whole crew.
- That's how you make a biscuit.
(transition music)
(breathing heavily)
- Taking you to that clinic
is the greatest regret of my life.
(dramatic music)
- I'm very curious as to your take on the relationship
between Jamie and Beth when she discovers
that the car seat in the back.
- The baby seat, what is that for?
- These two characters have kind of traded power
back and forth and traded secrets back and forth for years.
- Jamie, I'm in trouble.
- Jamie has had very little privacy in season four when
he meets his real father.
When he sort of has this relationship, he has this child.
It's this little life distinct from the Duttons
and the ranch.
It's like this beautiful little thing he has
for the first time in his life.
And Beth has gone about systematically dismantling that.
The child is this last little beautiful secret
that he's managed to keep safe from Beth.
- I'm gonna take him from you.
- It's particularly painful for Beth to imagine Jamie
with a child, the thing that she has perhaps missed
or feels missing in her life.
- I'm nobody's mother, ever.
You got it?
- He's got the opportunity to take her out.
(suspenseful music)
Why doesn't he do it?
- That's an amazing question.
What keeps him from killing her in that moment?
- 'Cause we've established that he's a killer.
- Yeah.
- He's fully capable and it's not his real sister.
- Maybe it's because like in that moment, he needs to prove
to himself that he's not what they think that he is.
If he kills her, it's almost like
she's right about everything.
- You know what's so dangerous about you, Jamie?
It's you justify every act before you commit 'em.
- He knows that she's the only one that can save the ranch.
So, no matter how much he hates her,
and this is what I hope the answer is,
that he loves the ranch more than he hates her.
And if he kills Beth, he kind of, he destroys...
- All of it.
- He destroys everything he is really working for.
- I also think that if he kills Beth, some selfish part
of him though, he's throwing his own life away
because there's a lot of evidence connecting him
to where Beth is right then. Rip's never gonna accept that.
- No matter where you hide
he will find you and he will tear you apart.
