Log cabin on East Camp, Yellowstone Property, Montana – Thursday, December 12th, Afternoon

Kayce sits at a table with a pen in hand while Monica, Rainwater, and Mo sit nearby. However, before the man can start signing the door flies open as Wade Wilson in his Deadpool outfit comes marching in.

“Tell me Kayce, I get you have issues with your father but just how selfish are you being right now? You didn’t give a crap about all the workers on this ranch, even admitting as much that you didn’t know what would happen to them nor care given how quickly you being a pathetic slime ball escaped back here to sign these papers” Wade says.

“It’s the only way for being finally free” Kayce snarls.

“Right… free to live on the property of the Yellowstone, oh wow you’re really getting away. I mean even your sister who I have issues with is buying a ranch off the property completely, not that in the entire five seasons she has solved anything. But that’s a different problem for now. I’m referring to you who is throwing away everything your family has done. Had bled, and sacrificed for none of it matters” Wade snarls.

“No, they built this ranch that I’m living on and I’m giving the stolen land back to Rainwater,” Kayce says.

“Exactly. Giving up being a part of a livestock agent that was from back to Jacob and Cara Dutton, even James. All those people who you could help” Wade says, “Sometimes we have to put aside our selfishness.”

“You don’t know what it costs, I’m not having my family” Kayce starts yet gets cut off.

“Do not talk to me about costs you shaggy man. Your father was not perfect neither was your mother, but they died for a reason. Everything Tate has lived through, having blood on his hands as a kid, his kidnapping, everything is for a reason. One you’re throwing away. You want to give the ranch back to Rainwater for added legal protection fine. Of course, a part of Taylor Sheridan's oversize ego that’s bigger than the USA where he thinks his farts smell good while spinning on a horse. Everything he did in the back half was nothing more than to spite Kevin Costner’s character all to make himself feel better” Deadpool says.

“Huh? What are you even talking about?” Kayce asks.

“My son has lived through hell, I have to and I’m not going to let you stand here,” Monica says yet gets cut off.

“Oh, shut up, I’ve got zero interest in listening to your flip-flopping hide for one second your pro-Dutton and the next you’re hating anything about them. Neither do I on you throwing a hissy fit from the early seasons that a college, mind you a massive shocker, that they were not teaching how white is evil with committing genocide on peaceful, tree-hugging Indians as putting forth your BS led by Sheridan being just the latest of this Native Americans is victim crap. Erasing how Indigenous people were fighting each other in blood feuds for hundreds if not thousands of years like every other culture. Indians own slaves, scalping anybody including women and children, raping to their heart’s contents like every other species as the entire planet is stolen land. I mean not that the indigenous people didn’t quickly adapt to resist for fighting over a hundred years which is very impressive. But you know not the crap that gets peddled in this show, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed 3, countless films or shows. If you are going to teach history, do it right” Wade says “Just go look up Chesepians getting wiped out by the Powhatan Confederacy, before the English even stepped foot in Jamestown. Besides your screwed-up history is insulting all the Natives and white men who did get along.”

“The land belongs to us and besides the agreement to leave the headstones alone, I’m going” Rainwater starts but gets cut off.

“First as soon as you get the land the youngsters will be pushing over the Dutton headstones cause they don’t give a crap until Mo chases them away. So disrespectful and shows exactly what Taylor Sheridan considers is the ultimate screw you to where Rainwater is the real hero of Yellowstone. Wade replies.

“I understand only maybe a tenth of that,” Kayce says.

“Oh, Rainwater on your return to nature crap would you give up your house, your bed, and such? After all, was wild land with no buildings either” Wade points out.

“No” Rainwater admits uneasily.

“That’s the problem with that kind of nonsense makes you nothing more than a hypocrite. Listen, giving the land to the Broken Rock tribe for protection is not bad at all, I actually like and honor the friendship Rainwater has with your family. That’s awesome, but don’t rip the ranch apart. Live and work off it” Wade says.

“I’m still not running this ranch at all, I want to be free and I’m not changing this deal” Kayce protests.

“Fine, you are making me do this the hard way” Wade replies sighing.

Pulling out a dart gun Deadpool rapidly fires into the necks of everybody in the room.

Yard area, same location – twenty minutes later

Deadpool watches as Kayce wakes up alongside Tate, Monica, Mo, and Rainwater only Kayce attempts to rush forward into the now burning house as the log cabin is ablaze. Yet is held back by Mo and Rainwater for angrily yelling out yet eventually turns his gaze toward the masked man, as the others follow.

“Why? This was our heaven, why did you do that?” Kayce angrily snarls.

“Because you left me no choice you disgusting hypocrite. I’m about five seconds from pulling out my guns, killing Rainwater and you for leaving Tate alongside Monica to run the ranch” Wade answers in boredom “Instead you have a chance at gaining a serious win, but if you want to squander it away that’s your move shaggy.”

“No, stop alright. I’ll do it, okay I’ll run this Yellowstone and the livestock association… like I was supposed to. Until my son and Carter can take over as the next generation. As my father would have wanted so he doesn’t die for nothing” Kayce replies in resigned acceptance.

“Good. Now I must be off as got another problem to deal with” Wade says, “Have a nice day.”

 Deadpool walks off singing Montgomery Gentry’s Daddy Won’t Sell the Farm song.

State Attorney General House, Montana - an hour later

While Beth are Jamie are in a fistfight Deadpool enters the room with pulling out his sword nearing both combatants who take a moment to recognize them. Just as Beth is about to respond with some insult about the masked man’s issues regarding his private parts, how Jamie is still a spineless wimp, Wade responds by cutting Beth’s head from her body in one effortless motion. Before Jamie can move Deadpool drives his blade into the man’s heart killing him.

Sheathing his sword “I didn’t even care to talk to you when alive Ms. Beth, the narcissist crazy lady who you are a vile, poisonous snake that has a deluded fanbase. Including Taylor Sheridan who has said you are one of his favorite characters to write for. Never mind, you brought nothing to the show except division and toxic traits which did more damage than good. Heck, you are such an abusive shrew to Jamie of it’s not even about his side-lined, passive role in your father’s death but just because you’ve been looking for an excuse to kill him for years. All from a mistake you made by getting pregnant and while Jamie had you sterilized without saying anything, you still went to Jamie for help. A 17-year-old kid scared out of mind. Plus, crossing lines when making it sound like you would kill Jamie’s son just to get back at him. A literal child and the fanbase that covers up your crap makes it even worse” Wade says, “Maybe you had some good traits, but long since cared on finding any.”

Glancing over to the other man “Ah Jamie Dutton, not Randall since you are a Dutton no matter what Beth thought. You helped the ranch until you couldn’t anymore, and yes you became evil is on you. Frankly not going to list all your flaws, your sister did that plenty. I made sure unlike Taylor’s pet finally faced consequences, and you have become so far gone, maybe death will be kinder. Eh… don’t give a crap either way, Beth and your toxic mess got tiring seasons ago” Wade says.

Turning around Deadpool leaves having two last things to do.

Empty stadium, Texas – Dusk

Finishing wrapping the duct tape around the person’s hands, Deadpool steps back as Travis Wheatley wakes up having been secured to a modified mechanical riding bull and unable to move his now broken arms, knees, and jaw.

“Given how you wasted Yellowstone's important screen time to show off your spinning riding scenes as you have an ego bigger than all of Texas, and combined with Geroge Lucas and Joss Wheadon, I figured this is fitting. You were so focused on screwing over Kevin Costner after he left from both your egos and tried one final time to come back yet you turned him down, Sheridan. You pulled a massive self-insert for using Travis here to act nonstop like the most important thing in all of Yellowstone in season 5’s back half just to stroke your ego. If Rip being a pushover for Beth wasn’t bad enough, you had him gush endlessly about you which was pathetic. So you get to spin in circles nonstop, which with broken joints is going to be a real pain in the rear, and oh listen to voice recordings of Teeter endless as how much you abused the character just after she lost Cobly who you stupidly killed off. Plus treating Jimmy like utter dog crap just to stroke your ego, and here I thought Steven Binder for McGee on NCIS was bad” Deadpool says.

Travis tries to utter something only can’t due to the duct tape covering his mouth plus shattered jaw.

“Ah, music to my ears. Do you know what really sticks in my craw? You Sheridan tried to credit for after Wind River film of the law being passed where US citizens can be prosecuted for committing rape on an Indian reservation, and a database for missing murdered Indigenous women. Only as Native rights attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle rightfully told you off given it was decades of hard work by the Indigenous communities” Wade says icily “Enjoy your suffering from the god complex you have.”

Walking away Wade hits the button on the machine causing Travis to spin around at a good twenty miles an hour, alongside turning on the remote device which plays Teeter talking on loudspeakers alongside Taylor Swift music.

Years later, forest, Montana/Wyoming border – nighttime

A man dressed in pricey casual clothing wakes up to discover is on the back of a horse with his hands tied by rope, and a lasso around his neck while underneath a tree.

Up ahead on more horses is an adult Tate Dutton, Carter, now having Dutton as a last name following Kayce/Monica adopting the teen, and Hailie who is Carter’s girlfriend helps work the ranch. All of them are wearing boots, jeans, and dark color jackets having the Y symbol on the upper right chest area.

The horse sitting under the man moves forward giving Carter whistles letting the individual drop downwards as he is choked to death by the rope.

“Well won’t be losing any sleep over this one,” Tate says.

“Me neither, he was a rapist who escaped any prosecution given has terrified the only witness into not going forward. Not that the legal system is all that great at anyway” Carter says.

“True. I remember when dad first brought me here after Ellis Steele tried a desperate attempt to claim the ranch” Tate says.

“I remember that now, dumped quite a few bodies at the train station including Ellis” Carter says.

“Well, this ranch’s greatest enemy always will be men wanting to take instead of building himself,” Tate says.

“Yeah, I remember the first time you guys showed me the dumping ground for all the bodies was when I tried to expose a corrupt DHS lady who was letting that other sicko woman abuse foster for kids for playing video games,” Hailie says.

“Ah right the nut job imprisoning kids down in a dirty storm cellar,” Carter says.

“People like that… make me glad for us being around to help. I think we need to cut him down now” Tate says.

“Yeah,” Carter adds.

Gently moving on the reigns Carter and Tate venture over until climbing off the horses they cut the man down using a knife, before placing the body on one of the horses. Meanwhile, Hailie grabs ahold of the reigns for the other horse for traveling that one back to the barn.

“Tate you heading out with your father tomorrow morning for Wyoming to chase those cattle rustlers?” Hailie inquiries.

“Yes mam” Tate replies.

“Mo wants us to give a couple of older teenagers who are starting to get a record some purpose,” Carter says.

“Brother it’s your decision, you run the bunkhouse. Even if one needs to wear the brand, but I don’t think that is the case just yet” Tate says, “Let’s dump this body across the road before heading back to the ranch.”

“You know there are vehicles nowadays even around Jacob and Spencer Dutton’s time for beginning to use them,” Carter remarks getting back on his horse after securing the body.

Rolling his eyes “Well aware, I just like the ride sometimes” Tate says.

“It can be a nice one,” Hailie says.

“True. I remember riding with Mr. Dutton years back when we rode out along the property just because we could” Carter says.

“Yeah,” Tate says a wistful smile climbing back on his horse.

Further distance away hidden on a small hill, Deadpool watching the three venture towards a cliff area to dump another body, nods knowing his job is done. Now Wade knows it’s time to use the multiverse hopping device from Time Variance Authority and return to Vanessa, his wife.
