- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thanks to you.

- Cheers. - Yeah. All right.

To your father.

Thank you. Seriously.

You know, for what it's worth,

I hated turning your world upside down.

Nothing my dad despised more than internal affairs.

- We're all good. - Oh, good day for you.

You kept your badge and you made a new friend.

She's just grateful we saved her dad.

Oh, I know what grateful looks like,

and that is not how she's eyeing you.

Saddle up, cowboy.

Okay, look, I have questions

about how you two arrived here together,

but I'm just happy, man, that you're here at all.

Well, the fact that we can keep that family's world

from falling apart... justified and right.

Yeah.

Well, maybe the badge is a... a path to penance.

over 20 years.

She's your daughter?

I took this posting to move closer to her, but...

It's becoming clear that, you know,

she'd rather have me out of her life than in her bar.

All the skills my dad says you have,

it seems like life of the party's not one of them.

I'm definitely more comfortable driving cattle

than being jammed in like one.

Hmm.

Well, your teammates seem nice.

Glad you all are out here keeping people safe.

Makes Montana less scary.

Montana's not scary.

Just have to get to know it.

Hmm.

Oh, well, wish I knew a local

that could give me a crash course in all things Big Sky.
