This is her final answer to my question, What is on your hype-up playlist?
As Beth, Reilly plays Montanas most ruthless daughter.
You know, standard fare for mixing business with family.
People keep saying, Is it the end?
It must be the end, Reilly says.
Its not the end.
Does she think shes in danger?It is a healthy arrogance, right?
I think the wordaudacioussuits her better because there is such audacity in the things she says and does.
In season four, John comes up with this idea of running for governor.
Thats a light-switch moment for her.
I dont think its anything she ever thought he would consider doing because thats not who he is.
So when he I dont know if Im allowed to tell you that.
In a strange way, at the beginning of season five, Beth is probably at her most powerful.
But how she toes the line of that is going to be interesting.
Now shes blackmailing him for the murder she insisted he commit last season.
If you think about what that would do to someone like Beth, there is no end point.
I dont think she ever goes, Im going to wrap this up and forgive him.
I dont think thats in Beth.
In my rewatch, Ive found something very Shakespearean aboutYellowstone.
Im not sure Beth has that bitterness.
Its less sitting in her room, manipulating, thinking of ways she could fuck someone over.
And Beth only does that to people she believes deserve it.
As an actor, Im trying to balance her.
But at the same time, she is who she is.
Shes just a force of fucking nature.
Where does that leave her?
Is there a core to Beth without her family?Family is everything to her.
Thats why she has a really hard time with the dining table earlier in the season.
Its full of ghosts.
Shes learned from him how to kill.
Shes learned from him how to destroy people and protect.
She only knows how to fight and she doesnt know the difference.
She thinks of Summer as an enemy and he doesnt.
When he says, I never thought Id ever say this, but I feel disappointed in you.
That is a dagger to her heart.
Everything she does is for him.
Beth feels wholly responsible for that.
Its like what is really happening in Montana.
It is being bought up by billionaires.
The amount of cement, and building, and taking from the land.
Wheres the water going to be cleared for the sewage?
What is the effect on the environment?
They cant protect it without playing dirty.
Whats Beth listening to?
Whats on her playlist?I listen to a lot of classical music before work.
I make a run at find that soul and a heightened sense of that omnipotent quality she has.
Really, that sends me into Beth.
Oh, that and Fleetwood Mac.
She can switch on some great rap.
God, how old do I sound?
I think she listens to loud music.
I think thats her energy.
Thats where I found Beth.
I didnt really believe that I could do it.
And there she was.
