Stabbed them both?
Beat and choked Sister Mary.
May I see the child's bedroom, please?
[sniffs]
She took all her belongings?
They don't have any belongings.
Did another girl leave with her?
She was alone.
Where's that girl?
That girl passed.
Passed how?
[music]
Children die, Marshal.
These Indians are like wolves.
Few thrive in captivity.
How many die a year, would you say?
Enough to warrant a graveyard.
You sent men after her?
Three. A week ago.
- Which way? - East.
They followed her tracks.
And they haven't returned?
This is no land to wander aimlessly.
You must travel water to water.
They are capable men.
If they were capable men they would have returned.
I'll come back with deputies, we will set off from here.
I trust you can ride?
You wish me with you?
I require it.
We don't know what she looks like.

[music]
Jake: Pretty smart, huh?
Damn things is everywhere now.
Everyone sure is in a hurry to change the world.
Hey! Where's the hitching rails?
Took 'em out for the parking spaces.
Hup.
Whoa.
Hey, what are you doing?
They took away my parking spot.
I'm gonna make another one.
He got lawyered up pretty quick.
I don't recognize 'em, though.
Firm out of Helena. The Governor's firm.
Whitfield Mining's firm, too.
All rise.
Be seated.
Judge: Banner Creighton...
you have been charged with two counts of murder, and...
four counts of attempted murder.
Do you wish to enter a plea?
Not guilty, your honor.
I will set a bail hearing for...
If council could approach, your honor.
Your Honor, the prosecutor is unaware
of the allegations against Commissioner Dutton
that agents of his commission hanged four men
without benefit of trial by jury,
one of whom was the defendant himself.
Our claim is self defense.
Mister Creighton is heavily invested
in business dealings in this community,
and poses no flight risk.
You have proof of these allegations?
I have rope burns around the defendant's neck
and letters from deceased mens' widows wondering
why money is no longer sent back to Scotland.
My client being held without bail for multiple murder charges
when no such charges exist against Commissioner Dutton,
creates a contradiction worthy of scrutiny.
I feel confident in asking for a dismissal, your honor,
much less release with no bail until trial.
What's your position?
Commissioner Dutton has a reputation for being harsh,
but none have ever questioned the man's word.
A conviction is warranted on that alone.
I ask he be held without bail, your honor.
I have an arrest warrant issued on the testimony
of numerous witnesses, but no physical evidence,
This warrant was prematurely issued.
But I'll give your office the opportunity to find evidence
to support the charge.
Your client is released without bail.
[pounds gavel]
Don't look back. Don't speak. Let's go.
Know what I'm looking at? Lawyer: Don't speak.
I know exactly what you're looking at.
I'm looking at a ghost. You ****ing coward.
Tryin' to settle this in court?
- I'll show you coward. - Hey!
I'm guessing the blonde didn't make it.
There will be no fighting in this courtroom!
I will hold you all in contempt
and you can fight it out in a jail cell.
You keep sending boys to do a men's work, Dutton.
I guess if was as old as you, I'd send boys, too.
This don't end in a court.
It ends in a field in front of your ****ing house.
If that's where you want to die, I'm more than happy
to help you out.
[music]
[indistinct chatter]
Welcome aboard, ma'am.
Alex: I dread seeing London.
Spencer: You won't see it long.
I miss Africa. Do you miss it?
Got my favorite thing about Africa right here.
My God.
Alex: Any chance we can take another ship?
There's five thousand people on this boat.
If you don't wanna see 'em you don't have to.
That's not how life works. They'll be around every corner.
We'll just hide in our room for three weeks.
Plannin' on doing that anyway.
[music]
Where do we go?
Not sure.
Thinking south.
How far south?
I know some Comanche on the Washita River.
It'd be easy to disappear there.
Thank you.
Hey. None of that.
No goo-goo eyes, no holding hands.
No falling in love.
If they find us, they will kill us.
Hang us from a tree and bury our bodies face down.
All your focus should be on surviving.
Fall in love later.
They've been trying to kill me since they took me.
I don't believe in later.
I believe in right now.
Ach...
Women.
[music]
Is he gonna beat me up?
Maybe. [sniffs]
What are you going to do?
You gonna let go?
I've had my fair share of beatings.
What's one more?
We leave before the sun wakes.
[music]
[sobs]
[music]
[sobbing continues]
Creighton: I want him ****ing dead!
I want his ****ing wife dead, that smug ****ing boy...
the whole ****ing clan.
Is that really what you want?
You bet your ****ing *** it's what I want.
Wouldn't you rather be rich?
I'm already rich.
You have some money.
That doesn't make you rich.
The Yellowstone will make you rich.
True wealth is generational.
I could never spend all the money I've made.
What I do now ensures
that my great-grandchildren can't either.
If you think about it, generational wealth
is the closest thing a man can have to immortality.
When a building has your name on it,
that's immortality.
And you don't achieve that from prison.
If you wrangle some posse to descend upon his home,
prison is where they'll send you.
Vengeance will never make you money.
You must set a goal, then formulate a plan to achieve it.
Then you execute it without mercy.
Emotion fuels every decision Dutton makes.
He loves his land.
He loves it.
And we will take it from him.
You won't need a gun, Banner.
We can kill him with this.
[footsteps]
She's awake.
Oh, splendid.
Feel like some sport?
My wife came to town.
Well, no fun for you then.
I've procured some new toys for you, Lindy.
I'm sure you'll like them.
[music]
Whitfield: Lindy.
[jazz music plays]
[cattle lowing]
Jake: Spread it out more.
They're gonna trample more then they eat.
Snow came early this year.
Winter ain't here to stay yet.
Better not be...
We don't have enough hay to start feeding in November.
Zane: We ain't got enough hay no matter when it snows.
What do we do if it runs out?
[music]
Hey, Jake, how long you gonna be?
Only thing that happens fast at a bank
is deposits and robberies.
Thinking about slipping over and seeing the family.
Always time for that.
Meet you back here in a few hours?
Yeah, we can pitch hay to cattle without you for a little bit.
Spend some time with the family.
Ain't the cattle I'm worried about, sir.
But I'll take the night if you're alright with it.
I'm alright with that, Zane.
See you boys tomorrow.
[music]
[sighs]
I can't do another loan on the cattle
because there's no way to lock in a value.
If you had easy access to the rail with them, then maybe,
but you won't until April,
and who's to say what they're worth in April.
Well, they're worth more than the loan, I can tell you that.
All I need is enough hay to get to spring.
And when is that, Jake?
April, June?
We don't know.
Where you going to get the hay from,
and how are you going to transport it?
Your road is snowed in till spring as well.
We'll haul it in wagons.
We have gotten killed on these cattle loans, Jake.
We're at a twenty percent default rate.
Not by me.
I paid off my loan.
When others walked away, I paid mine off.
It's a bad investment for us, and a big risk for you.
With no upside.
You're losing money this year whether you buy feed or not.
Let me propose something that makes more sense for both of us.
Take out a mortgage.
Interest rates are below six percent,
you have thirty years to pay it back.
I don't don't thirty years for anything, Kyle.
I'm seventy-eight years old.
I'm not going to give my family debt.
You're giving them debt either way:
you can't sell the calves for what the hay costs.
Money is my business.
A mortgage is smart, it's safe, and it gives you
or your family the luxury of time.
Only a banker would consider a mortgage a luxury.
We used to do this with a handshake.
Sadly, enough handshakes weren't worth the grip, Jake.
Now none of them are.
[music]
[indistinct chatter]
Either you made a deposit or you robbed them.
Saying no don't take much time, either.
[clicks tongue] Ya!
Ho!
[music]
Daddy!
What are you doing barefoot in the snow? Come here.
I didn't know I needed shoes
'cause I didn't know I was going outside.
- Well, you're outside now. - 'Cause I heard you outside.
How 'bout we go inside and we solve this problem?
Hello, anybody home?
Montana State's building a radio station.
- A radio station? - Mm-hmm.
I don't know what they're gonna do with it when it's built,
but they're building it.
You can hear the news instead of reading it, I guess.
I don't care to read it
and I sure don't need someone to read it to me.
They could play music through it.
Music would be nice.
What's a radio?
Well, a radio...
See it's a big box that...
How do I explain this?
It lets you listen to people from other parts of the world.
- Yeah. - Like a phone?
Mmm...
With a phone you talk back, with a radio you just listen.
How do they work?
Well...
I don't have the foggiest idea how they work.
Radio waves.
What's a radio wave?
Well, you're asking the wrong side of the family
the hard questions, son. Go ahead and ask your mother.
[chuckles]
[music]
[sighs]
It's worse in here.
We need to go you up on the deck
and get your eyes on the horizon.
[groans]
Of all the ships, they have to choose this one.
After what we've been through,
running into your ex is the least of your concerns.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Come on.
He can turn into it now, it'll smooth out.
North Atlantic wasn't this rough.
It's just a swell.
It'll be over soon.
See?
Thank the Heavens.
Jennifer: Alexandra.
You're mad, absolutely mad.
Completely understandable, but mad nonetheless.
How angry are my parents?
Angry enough to leave that day.
- For London? - And all your bridesmaids.
All but one.
I didn't see how me missing safari
would help Arthur's broken heart.
His heart isn't broken, only his pride.
I'd say all of him is broken.
Didn't leave camp once.
Barely left his tent.
May we have a moment alone, sir?
The boy is destroyed. His family is furious.
I don't love him.
That's love.
That's lust.
He's a hunter, Alexandra.
And when the chase is done,
he will find something else to hunt.
The chase is done.
Oh, Alexandra...
You must think of your family and their standing.
The only family I'm thinking of is the one I'm starting.
All of London will turn its back to you, Alexandra.
They won't get the chance.
Anything else?
I hold no judgment, Alexandra.
My only wish for you is happiness.
Your wish came true.
Then I'm happy for you.
Me too.
Tonight we dine in the grand hall.
You sure?
That's asking for it.
I'm done hiding.
You need a suit.
I ain't wasting money on a suit.
This liner is in the British fleet.
We don't need money. We have credit.
The things you do for love.
I need some help with this.
[music]
- I need some help. - Mm-hmm.
If you think about it, we never had a reception.
Sure, we did.
That wasn't a reception, that was a consummation.
One could argue we've consummated enough
that the English-speaking world is now relieved of the burden.
That a fact?
It is.
Though...
To be safe, we should probably consummate again after dinner.
Or we could just skip dinner altogether.
Approve of the dress, I see.
It's going to look great draped over that chair.
[chuckles]
Most people long their whole lives for this.
And never feel it.
No.
What a tragedy.
[chamber music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
The audacity to bring him here.
She is entitled to dine, son.
That is not dining. That is parading.
That is celebrating at my expense.
You've just avoided marrying a woman
who obviously does not love you.
I'd say that's cause for celebration as well. Hm?
[applause]
We could dance.
Would you care to dance?
I would not.
The girl is lost, son.
Don't lose your dignity with her. Hm?
I'd be honored.
You waltz?
My aunt was determined for us to have a little bit of culture.
Taught us in the living room.
Didn't think it would ever come in handy, but here we are.
I'm sure you danced your share of star-struck maidens
in the ballroom at the Norfolk.
I'm suddenly wild with jealousy.
Wild with it, huh?
Mad. Livid, actually.
You're a cad.
A libertine is what you are, sir.
I don't know what that means.
Well, I can assure you it's quite the insult.
Mind yourself, sir.
It means watch where you're going.
It's my fault, apologies.
It is certainly your fault.
You will not turn your back to me, sir.
You've got about thirty seconds of this bullshittin' me.
Then I'm gonna mop the ****ing floor with you.
We should go.
I will not allow him to shape the course of our evening.
What happened to hiding in our room for three weeks?
That was the girl in me.
This is the woman.
Oh... I'm dealing with the woman now.
You certainly are.

Arthur?
Arthur!
I challenge you--
Arthur, enough.
This is not the place for it!
You have no wits about you?
He knew of my engagement.
He has defiled my honor.
You are challenged, sir.
Choose your weapon.
This your son?
He is.
I kill for a living.
You do not want him to fight me.
No, I do not.
Then control him.
Arthur!
You defile my honor and then you abandon yours?
You are no gentleman, sir.
You are no gentleman!
Go, go run away with your *****.
Run away with your ****ing *****!
Please don't...
[grunts, coughs]
Challenge accepted.
Choose your weapon.
You choose.
I couldn't care less.
To the deck.
Arthur. Arthur, no.
Arthur!
Now, what a lovely mess you've made of my family.
And what an embarrassment you've become to yours.
[pounding]
There's a duel on the bow.
Between who?
Some American and... the Earl of Sussex.
Notify the first mate.
Have you experience with a sword?
Never held one.
Arthur is an expert swordsman.
Spencer, his words mean nothing.
There is no dishonor in refusing to fight.
If he's doing this shit on day one.
How do you think he's going to be on day fifteen?
Might as well get it over with.
Spencer!
[grunts]
[grunting]
Enough, son!
I did not yield.
I do not yield to you!
I do not yield, you Yankee scum.
- Arthur! - [shrieking]
- Arthur! - Man overboard!
- Arthur! - Come about!
Arthur! Arthur!
Take this man to the brig.
- To duel is illegal, sir. - I didn't choose it.
Alex: Arthur pulled a pistol.
They saw. They all saw.
Who will speak on his behalf?
To the brig with you, sir.
Sailor: Let's go. Spencer: No.
Alex: No, no... Spencer: No!
My husband threw down his sword.
Arthur pulled a pistol on an unarmed man.
Says you.
Yes, says me.
On my honor, I say it.
Honor?
You dare to speak that word in front of me?
What honor do you have...
Where is the honor in your actions?
Captain, I demand this woman be remanded
to her quarters until the ship reaches port in London.
[Alex panting]
You say you are my friend, prove it now.
Tell them the truth.
[whispering] Tell them what you saw.
Please, please...
She speaks the truth.
Arthur refused to yield even after Spencer had withdrawn.
Stop speaking, I will not hear it!
Remand her to her quarters, sir.
Or do you forget my title?
Take the lady to her quarters.
[music]
You okay?
Belly hurts.
Can I get you something?
Soda water maybe.
She feeling better?
Asked for some soda water.
No, no, that won't help.
Peppermint tea. Yes.
Elizabeth: Jack!
[music]
She's stable now. The bleeding has stopped.
She flushed the baby though.
I'm sorry.
I'll check on her in the evening.
How you feeling?
Like a failure.
It's just nature looking out for you.
Things weren't right and nature took care of it.
It happens to horses.
It happens to cattle.
It happens to cattle, you sell them.
Well, you ain't getting sold,
if that's what you're worried about.
It's my one purpose on this planet.
If I can't do it, then what the hell am I here for?
Well, my aunt never had children.
You saying she got no purpose?
She raised me.
Raised my father.
Nursed my uncle back to life.
You, too.
No telling how many lives
she nursed away from death during the war.
I look at my aunt and all I see is purpose.
Maybe that's your purpose, too.
Be a mother to those who ain't got one.
A teacher to those who need lessons.
We choose our purpose.
The word you're looking for is destiny.
And if you wanna give God a good laugh,
tell him what you think your destiny is.
And if I can't ever have children?
Then you can't have children.
Then you'll never be a father.
I guess it ain't my destiny.
You're my destiny.
You just said you can't choose destiny.
You chose me.
One look at you and I had no choice at all.
Destiny...
And think of all the things God had to give you
to make you choose me.
Like poor judgment, bad vision, terrible taste in men.
[music]
We take what life gives us.
It's all we can do.
[music]
[pounding]
Can I help you?
Alice Chow?
That's right.
You're under arrest for violating
the Montana statute against miscegenation.
Against what?
Don't play dumb. You married a white man.
And these are his mongrel kids.
Hey!
Alice: No, no!
No!
[children screaming]
Daddy!
Alice: No!
[sobbing]
I ought to arrest you for assaulting a peace officer,
but I don't want those filthy ****ing kids in my squad car.
Daddy?
Help him!
No, no, no!
[music]
Whatcha got there?
Where?
There, beside ya.
[sighs]
It's a towel.
Ah...
Whatcha doing with it?
Nothin'.
I've noticed a pattern in our fifty years together.
When you hide something from me,
it's because you fear the thing.
So what's got you scared now?
I can't feel my fingers.
I'm squeezing the towel thinking maybe
it'll make 'em stronger and get some feeling back.
You're lucky I love you so much.
If I didn't I'd ride into those mountains
with a bottle of whiskey,
and I'd sit under a tree and I would not come down.
That's how much I hate getting old
and watching my body betray me.
[car approaching]
It's the miner.
Miner?
Who bought the Strafford Ranch.
Get up here on the porch.
You're going to let that man up on our porch?
I'd prefer to shoot down on him,
and I prefer you not to be in the way when I do it.
[car door shuts]
What a structure.
Inspired by the lodge in the park, I presume.
Other way around.
Is that a fact?
Same builder?
Don't know.
Put 'em down!
[clamoring]
Put down your weapons!
Hey!
Put 'em down! [Whitfield laughing]
You will stop!
Jake: Cara!
There will be no violence here, sir.
This is our home! Our home!
Have you no decency whatsoever?
Well, I suppose that would depend on what
you consider decent.
Well, we've shown all our toys, Stuart.
We can put them away now.
I trust you will offer us the same courtesy.
Lower 'em, boys.
Your line of work appears to focus your attention
on the season.
Calving in the spring, branding in the summer,
selling in the fall, and then...
Surviving the winter.
The future receives all my focus.
Once a mine is producing, I think no more of it...
I seek the next.
Back east, every home has electricity.
and running water.
One in ten Americans owns an automobile.
By the end of the decade it will be one in four.
The world will be mobile.
You know, they expect 130,000 visitors
in the park this year. Can you imagine?
In thirty years cattle will not be
the largest industry in Montana.
Neither will mining.
Can you guess what it will be?
I don't care what it will be.
You should. It will have a profound affect on your family.
Tourism.
More Americans live in cities than the country
for the first time in this nation's existence.
And they will come by the millions to experience
this majestic place, and they won't want to leave.
Texas has its oil boom. Our boom will be land.
And as the two largest landowners
in the state, we stand to benefit handsomely.
I was looking over the public records.
You're one of very few ranches who owns his land with no loan.
Impressive, especially with the collapse
of the market since the war ended.
I commend you, sir.
You were, however, behind on your property taxes.
Were you aware?
The end of the year is not here yet.
The payments are biannual, as you know.
That's not a requirement, that's an option.
We argue semantics.
And not much of an option for a rancher
who only gets paid in the fall.
The point is, that first payment has not been made, so...
I took the liberty of making it for you.
Hefty penny you owed.
As I'm sure you're aware,
if I'm not repaid by the end of the year,
the deed reverts to me.
We have done no harm to you.
Why would you do this to us?
Because I can. I'm a businessman.
The word "decent" doesn't apply to me.
He can do this?
Can he do this, Jacob?
[car engine starts]
[music]
This way.
We must bury him. Give Last Rites.
He was a child of God.
If he's a child of God and there's such thing as Heaven,
then I'm sure God already let him in.
But if you're saying it takes your prayers
and us digging a hole then there ain't no ****ing Heaven.
[music]
[sheep bleating]
You sure it's your girl?
I'm sure.
Only one of 'em?
Ain't just one anymore.
There's three sets of tracks heading out the canyon.
Won't be any tracks out on the plains, though.
Where would they go?
Can't go back to the rez. Can't go to town.
Where would they go?
Canada.
One would think.
It's a day's ride.
But your girl... She thinks like a coyote.
She does the opposite of what makes sense.
What would you do?
Don't know.
Tough it out in the mountains maybe.
Can't tough out winter.
No, they're gonna go somewhere they can fit in.
Another reservation, somewhere south with no law.
That Comanche reservation is about as wild
as anything there is. - Yep.
That's gonna be a hell of a ride.
Well, we ain't gonna ride it.
We're gonna take the train.
When they get there, we'll be waiting.
[music]
[horse snorting]
[speaking Crow]
[clicks tongue]
[music]
Where's the man's things?
The man needs his things.
Wait.
[door locks]
What are you doing?
Where are you taking him?
Let's go.
Where?
Captain's quarters. Turn around.
[music]
[handcuffs clasping]
It seems your claim of self defense has merit.
I didn't want to fight him.
I damn sure didn't want to kill him.
He gave me no other choice.
That's been made clear.
I'll not notify authorities at your port of call
but this ship sails under a British flag.
And the Prince in succession has ordered you
removed from the vessel.
That's fine by me.
We will dinghy you to port.
I need my wife.
Your wife?
You mean the Countess of Sussex?
Yes, that's who you mean.
Do you have any proof of this marriage?
I have a ring and I have my word.
The Earl of Sussex has called into question
the legality of the marriage.
We were married on a ship in international waters.
By the ship's Captain.
Do you question your authority to oversee marriages?
I do not.
But the limits of my authority are met
when a member of the Royal family commands me
to remove a passenger from one of the King's ships
and detain another.
I suggest you send for her in London.
I'm not leaving without her.
It's not your decision to make.
- If you'll excuse me. - Of course.
[music]
Alexandra.
[knocking]
- Alexandra. - Jennifer?
I've convinced them to pursue no charges against him.
But they are removing him from the ship.
- When? - Now.
You must get me out of here.
A porter's coming. Hide yourself.
Sir, my husband locked the door.
Do you have a pass key?
But of course, miss.
- For your troubles, sir. - Many thanks, miss.
The Earl said you must remain.
He questions the validity of your marriage.
He can't keep me on this ship if I want off.
He can. And he did.
We'll see about that at port.
We aren't going to port.
They're taking him by dinghy.
Oh...
[music]
Spencer!
Alex... Alex!
I will come to you!
Where do I go?
You have to take me back. That's my wife.
You have no right! You have no right!
[crying] - Where do I go? - I love you, Alex!
- Why did you do this to me? - [grunts]
Why? Why?
[Alex sobbing]
No!
Stay there!
Bozeman!
I will meet you in Bozeman, Montana!
- I love you! - I love you, Alex!
[distant] - I love you!
You may question the marriage, sir.
But difficult to question their sincerity.
[music]
Cara: Spencer.
I fear everything your parents fought so hard
to build is being ripped from us.
You are its only hope.
You are our only hope.
You must hurry, Spencer.
You must hurry.
Or there will be nothing left to fight for.
[music]
