(adventurous music)
- You win.
- I'm not trying to win anything,
I'm just trying to leave you something
that you can leave your son one day.
Kayce's made some decisions on his own,
a lot of times because of me and I've forced him
into a couple of decisions that I'm having difficulty
walking back from.
- All he has is Monica and Tate, all he has is his family.
And that's the only thing sorta
keeping him tethered to the Earth.
Obviously that propels him to try
to figure out what his purpose is now.
- I don't need another cowboy Kayce.
- I know what you need.
I think Kayce's saying, "You need a criminal."
He ultimately decides to go back and help his father
protect that land so that his son
can have a life and a future.
(apprehensive music)
- Rip wants Kayce to understand what he's up against
and I think what Kayce hasn't really realized to this point
is that, if you're gonna come back
and be a part of this family,
there's gonna be a lot put on your shoulders.
And so you better know what the hell is going on.
- You're gonna inflate the land prices.
Run up the property tax, and you price people out.
- Kayce has a really cold eerie moment when he slaps
the horse and Jenkins starts to hang
and he just says, "Let him hang," and he walks off.
- Let him hang.
It's definitely a sign of things to come which is that,
now the Dutton Ranch gang has gotten a little bit stronger.
- Don't touch him!
Hey! Help!
- The only thing we have in common is our last name.
- I think it's just the final straw for Jamie.
- Get Jamie off the payroll.
- Beth's delighted, it's about time she can't stand Jamie.
We're doing a little restructuring,
you've been replaced as chief counsel.
- When Beth comes in and basically fires Jamie
and is loving doing it, that's like okay,
I'm okay with this.
I feel free.
I think he does genuinely like he says, feel free
but I think he also doesn't know if that's a good thing.
And also fear of his family, they're a scary group.
In comes Beth and now she's my enemy.
- Oops.
- She's gonna be his lawyer, this is going to be
the conflict I'm gonna have to truly face.
So while he may be feeling free,
he's also feeling like he's stepped into the unknown.
(sighs)
(applause)
- It's been an amazing journey.
This is a world that I love right now.
Old school meets new school.
- The best stories are that way.
There's a freshness to this.
The world we're showing is something
that you don't see that often.
- [Male] Taylor put together one hell of a crew.
- This isn't green screen, or this isn't any CGI.
This is the real deal.
- The ranch is a character, the mountains in the background
of every shot, you can't do a show about the American West
without being in the American West.
- I was like moving in a fast river of Taylor's world
and all these brilliant actors and these wonderful crew
and everyone was just wanting to create brilliant work.
It was like, let's go, that's how I felt.
- [Male] That's a 20 70 wrap on Wes Bentley.
(people cheering)
- I'm most proud of I'm working on this show
is being a part of this type of storytelling that is both
artistic also informed and has a point of view
that's very strong and that's Taylor and getting to work
with Taylor on this show and it feels great.
It feels like someone trusts you
with something very important.
- I love working with the cast and the crew.
They're really exceptional and wonderful people
and you go through this whole journey together
it's been a good experience.
I can't wait to see what Taylor has in store for season two.
