WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for the series premiere of the Yellowstone prequel 1923… 1923 begins with a man limp-running through the woods but he's shot — by Cara Dutton (Helen Mirren). He pleads with her, telling her she'll not get into Heaven if she does this. She goes to shoot him to kill but needs to reload. There's a brief race between her and the man but she ultimately prevails, killing him and then screaming before she walks away. A voice over from Elsa Dutton (Isabel May) talks about how violence has always haunted the Dutton family and has followed them wherever they go and where it doesn't follow, the family seeks it.
