Season 4[]
Warner is chairperson of Market Equities, a big firm that plans to buy out several land owners in Montana to build an airport. They stumble upon John Dutton, owner of the large Yellowstone Dutton Ranch and Thomas Rainwater of the Confederated Tribes of Broken Rock.
Season 5[]
Market Equities is the latest adversary to face off against the Duttons in order to take advantage of their massive ranch property, the biggest in the country. Last season we saw Caroline and Beth working together for a brief period of time (Beth working as a double agent), and now Caroline has about had it with Beth, the Dutton family, and anyone else standing in the way of her business goals. Will Beth be able to fully remove Caroline and Market Equities from the equation? It's anyone's guess, but as we've learned over the past four seasons of Yellowstone, you never can see anything coming.
Trivia[]
- "She's a city slicker walking through fields of cowpats in designer heels and classy tailored suits," Weaver told TV Insider. "She looks out of place, but she's terrifying. She takes no prisoners, treats everyone badly-and is going to add another dimension to the huge cataclysmic drama that is the Duttons."
Quotes[]
- Caroline and Beth sit down and talk about Caroline’s intentions in turning towns all over Montana into vacation destinations: “I’m very different from the old boss, Beth. I came up at a time when the corporate ladder was greased to keep woman off it. I climbed it anyway. Stepping over some little bitch like you on every rung. The big dog is off the porch now, Beth. And I will tear you to fucking pieces. Starting with an SEC investigation into you for market manipulation and insider trading. You want to fight? Let me introduce you to the fight of your fucking life. That’s behind door number one. Behind door number two is common ground. You put together a land trust for Schwartz and Meyer.”
- Obviously, though, Beth isn’t having any of it, as she tells Caroline the land is not for sale, to which Caroline replies: “That should be your families motto. Jamie leased us what he could’ve sold and made the ranch a hundred times more than the lease fee. It’ll be 50 years before the ranch recoups that money. Stubbornness is not a business strategy, Beth. It’s how you lose the ranch altogether. You’re smart enough to know that.”
- But, Beth is as loyal as humanly possibly when it comes to supporting her dad and his dream that Yellowstone can continue to evolve and make money as a family ranch for generations to come: “Oh, I know it. And if we still own it by the time my father dies, you’re my first call. But in the meantime his dream is my Alamo, and I will die on the fucking wall defending it.”
- After Caroline makes her a pretty sweet offer to come work for Market Equities, Beth makes it very clear that they shouldn’t trust her when it comes to business, because her sole interest is protecting the ranch for her father: “You apply logic to your decisions with no emotion, I respect that. But asking a wolf to protect the sheep, that is a mistake. And you are smart enough to know that.”
- Really, all Caroline wants out of it is a dozen money-making resort towns sprinkled all across Montana, and she’s clearly going to stop at nothing to get that, either. And, to ensure that they understand her position to the fullest extent, Beth makes ’em an offer they could never accept: “You have controlling interest of Schwartz & Meyer now, right? That’s my price. I want your piece. You give me that, I’m yours. I’m gonna bankrupt him first. I want his fucking grandchildren on welfare. You break your word to me, lady, I’ll do the same to you. You have my number.”
- “I think she can make Montana the fastest growing state in the nation. Behind every milestone of human history stands a monster. And that’s our monster.” - Caroline and Beth discuss a potential business partnership in this season 4 highlight.
- Female News Anchor: In a landmark acquisition, Burson International has purchased investment firm Schwartz and Meyer, one of the larger private fund managers in the United States. BI stock is up eight percent in after hours trading.
