Warning: SPOILERS lie ahead for Yellowstone Season 5, Part B, Episode 9, ‘Desire Is All You Need’!
Chief Thomas Rainwater’s path to acquiring the Dutton Ranch became a little more open in yellow stone Season 5, Part B. Played by Gil Birmingham, the leader of the Broken Rock Indian Reservation served as a rival to Kevin Costner’s John Dutton and most of his family throughout the show, wanting to reclaim the land where the titular ranch once stood. built. its people. Along the way, however, he and the Dutton family became closer to each other as their interests aligned, including halting construction of a gas pipeline through the reservation.
Rainwater was also closely involved in Kayce and Monica’s lives, supporting them in the process of grieving the loss of their son and initiating the former into the warrior ways of her tribe. THE yellow stone The Season 5 Part B premiere dropped the bombshell that John died in what appears to be a suicide, but is actually a scam carried out by the fixers Jamie asked Sarah about. With Kayce now in charge and the governor’s position vacant, Rainwater will have to decide where his loyalties and priorities lie.
Next to Birmingham, the yellow stone The Season 5 Part B cast includes the return of Wes Bentley as Jamie, Kelly Reilley as Beth, Luke Grimes as Kayce, Kelsey Asbille as Monica, Cole Hauser as Rip, Brecken Merrill as Tate, Jefferson White, Ryan Bingham, Wendy Moniz, Forrie J.Smith and Dawn Oliveri. With the stakes higher and the characters pushed to the limits of their planning, the show is going strong.
In anticipation of the program’s premiere, Screen speech interviewed Gil Birmingham to discuss yellow stone Season 5, Part B, what John’s absence will mean for Rainwater’s plan to reclaim the ground, what it was like working with redacted scripts, how the storyline between him and Grimes’ Kayce will continue to evolve, and his thoughts on a backup set spin off.
There will be”So many different dynamics“For the public to follow in Part B
“…we received written scripts…”
Screen Rant: First of all, I’d love to talk about John’s absence, it’s a big deal this season. Obviously, he and Thomas have always played chess to decide who gets to keep the land. With John’s absence this season, how will that affect your approach to these types of battles? Will this encourage him and his power moves?
Gil Birmingham: Well, there are so many different dynamics that occur that I’m not aware of. You know, we get written scripts, so I’m not sure what the family is doing, or any of the other actors and their stories. I only know the scenes I worked on. But other than that, John and I, or John and Rainwater, we would usually have maybe one scene per season, and a lot of the rest was the build-up to that, or the backstory of where the confrontation was going to get them. in their finally meeting face to face to discuss the matter. Where we left off last season, it seemed like they had more in common than not. As governor, he was trying to stop the gas pipeline and letting people know that it could be harmful to the land, so we’ve always had respect for each other in terms of the sacredness of the land, just for different reasons. His legacy is family, property, and mine is ancestral. And that’s, I think, what creates great drama.
Birmingham loves the “Nice plot“Between Kayce and the rainwater
“…he is pulled from both sides.”
I also love that in the first half of this season, just like in previous seasons, we saw a lot of respect between your character and Kayce, especially in part A, as you really helped him and Monica deal with their loss. What can you tell me about that dynamic in the second half of this season’s episodes?
Gil Birmingham: You know, I love this storyline, because there’s a kinship that Rainwater will have, simply because of the relationship that Monica has with Kayce, and Kayce’s biological attachment to the Dutton family. But I think he’s more open to understanding what the situation is for the indigenous people on the reservation, because he’s married to a native woman and is influenced by both sides. But it gave him the opportunity to see both sides, and that really happened from the first episode when he was fighting for the cattle, I love remembering that. But yeah, it’s a beautiful plot, and Luke was cast perfectly in it.
Birmingham is always challenging Sheridan to “Arm wrestling competitions“To get a spin-off
“…he may be open to suggestions…”
I also give Taylor a lot of credit for conceiving this and giving so much screen time to the indigenous characters. I’d love to know if you’ve talked to him about the possibility of creating your own spinoff, since the yellow stone universe continues to grow with so many different shows.
Gil Birmingham: Yes, I always challenge him in arm wrestling competitions to make sure one of those things happens. [Chuckles] Taylor is such an independent and prolific mind that he can be open to suggestions, and I’m sure it’s not just a biased position that I would love for that to happen, but I’ve heard friends in his circle say so. So, it hasn’t gone unnoticed, but it already has a lot to do, and I think if the timing is right, if it ferments well, then it could follow that course of events, and that would be fantastic.
