Yellowstone

Previously on Yellowstone...

My job is to protect this family,

and you are the worst thing for it.

Tell me how this works, Monica.

I'm his father. You can't keep me from him.

I'm not trying to keep you from him,

I just have to shield him from what you've done.

I ain't gon' break the law for you, Rip.

You're going to live up to the brand

or I'm gonna take it back, do you hear me?

I understand what's in this for me.

Beyond your fee, what's in it for you, Beth?

And I am digging a 200 square mile moat

around my father's ranch.

Dad!

Get his vest off him. Get his vest off him!

Put him up on the table.

Hold him.

Stay still.

You don't have cancer.

- Not dying yet. - Maybe not.

But I've been living like it. That might be worse.

So much to undo.

Funny.

I don't remember authorizing your release.

That's because I didn't ask.

You know, just because you feel like ready to leave

doesn't mean you are.

That's exactly what it means.

You know, I can have you restrained.

Just let me look at the sutures.

Come on.

Have a seat.

You can put that on the bed.

No, I can't.

I did my best to straighten the incision...

Looks like your vet used a bread knife.

Well, it's healing...

Those should come out in a few days

and then you'll be free

to terrify small children at the rec center's pool.

- Yeah. - Not a joke.

I want you swimming twice a week.

With an instructor...

I know how to swim.

You don't know how to swim to rehab this.

My office will put you in touch with a physical therapist.

You know, you're in this situation because you ignored your doctor.

He saw a mass on your CT scan,

he said schedule an appointment, and you didn't.

And so now you've had major surgery

for what a pill could've fixed.

When's the last time you saw a dermatologist...

Oh, for fuck's sake, Keith.

Thank you.

You alright?

Yeah. Just hurts to sit.

Sorry.

Didn't see that one.

Jesus, son.

Are you aiming for them??

If you know a smoother way back,

you let me know and I'll take it!

Just, pull over here.

Maybe it's a little soon to come home.

Yeah, well, I could say the same to you.

What's that mean?

It means, you don't fight, Kayce.

Understand me?

If wranglers get worked over, then wranglers handle it.

How am I supposed to sleep in the same room

- with men I won't defend? - You aren't.

I'm gonna fix that problem, too.

What, you walking home now?

I don't even know whose field this is.

Me neither.

Ten years ago I did.

I think I finally understand you, son.

Yeah, well if you wanna to explain me to me,

I'm all ears.

You know, there's being scared to die, son,

and knowing it's coming.

When you know it's coming,

tomorrow stops factoring into your decisions,

because you know you're never gonna see it.

Then you...

Then you live.

And you realize you ain't dead, and you're not gonna die.

And now you gotta face all of them decisions you made.

And out of all that, you gotta figure out

how to let yourself start living again.

I don't know how to do that.

Yeah.

Shit, I don't know.

I don't know.

But we'll figure it out.

This is how many acres?

324.

Listing price is 4.9.

How motivated are the sellers?

Well, they tried to spend the winter here.

All right. Offer 3.5. No escrow. Cash.

- Seven day close. - Don't you want to see it first?

I'm seeing it now.

Okay...

I'll head back to the office and write up the offer...

Actually, let me show you one more.

This one isn't on the market,

but I know the property well, and I think...

So why are you showing it to me?

You said every large property in the county,

- right? - For sale.

It's called the Pelican Ranch.

Why is it called the Pelican Ranch?

Maybe they saw a goose and thought it was a pelican,

who the fuck knows.

It's 1,100 acres...

What's with the wit?

Doing some fast math on your commission

make you a little cocky? Feeling good?

Showing us properties that aren't for sale?

Boy, you're on a tear.

You might even go home and lay some pipe to the old lady.

Look at you, with your capped teeth and your spray tan.

Get out of my office.

- I don't... What... - Get the fuck out of my office.

Go write up the offer.

When it's done, email it,

so I don't have to look at you again.

And when you get your commission,

I want you to shove it up your waxed ass,

you cheesy motherfucker.

Fuck, I hate real estate agents.

Got your checkbook handy, Bobby?

Let's take this party on the road.

You the teacher's aide?

No, I'm the teacher.

I saw this video on Pornhub

and this is exactly how it starts.

Misogyny. How refreshing.

If you can work in a Pocahontas joke,

you'll hit the trifecta.

- Now that you mention it... - What's your name?

Trent.

Can you tell me the definition of power, Trent?

Hmm?

It's the ability to direct or influence

another's behavior or a course of events.

That's what I have...

I can remove you from this class and fail you.

Or I can send you before the dean for violating

the student code of conduct.

These are all things that can alter the course of your life.

That's power. And you don't have any.

When Christopher Columbus first came in contact

with Native Americans,

it was the Arawak people in the Bahamas.

I'll read to you from Columbus's journal:

"They willingly traded us everything they owned...

They do not bear arms, and do not know them,

for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge

and cut themselves out of ignorance.

They will make fine slaves...

With fifty men we could subjugate them all

and make them do whatever we want."

You ever feel like that, Trent?

Ever feel like making someone do what you want,

whether they want to or not?

It's a very European mentality,

stemming from the oppressive political

and religious structures of the Renaissance.

Kings and priests with absolute power

ruling masses who have none.

That was the mentality of the men who discovered America.

And it is the mentality our society struggles with today...

What you know of history is a dominant culture's justification

for its actions.

And I don't teach that.

I'll teach you what happened.

To my people. And to yours.

Because we are all the descendants of the subjugated.

Every one of us.

You did well.

Were you nervous?

Terrified.

So, um, that's new?

What happened?

I fell down.

- Excuse me, Miss, um... - Long.

Miss Long.

I'm sorry. I wasn't...

I didn't mean to... I was just...

I know what you were doing.

I'm sorry.

Insult me or anyone else in my class

and you're out.

Apology accepted.

Thank you.

Day one and you're already winning hearts and minds.

That mind is far from won.
