Previously on marshals.

Progress a bad word around here.

Clear the road!

Just standoff between res and truckers trying to get to that new mine.

Family name doesn't carry water anymore, so you gotta hide behind a federal badge.

These bullets are left for us.

Shooters are the Clyde brothers, Carson and West.

Move and you're dead.

Life's become more dangerous for me since becoming your brother.

I guess being close to me comes at a cost.

Roger gifts.

You take him from a fugitive again?

Okay, we got battery operated cameras, motion activated, and night vision enabled.

I'm my own security system.

Man, that crack system allows somebody to walk up undetected and drop a shellcase on your porch.

I've been through worse than a bullet on my doormat.

Yeah, see, I've come to learn Montanas don't do theatrics.

You can ignore this threat.

Well, I sent Tate to his grandpa's and it took you three days to find this stuff.

It took me a minute to special order the right gear for benchful clecks.

We upset a lot of people at the standoff.

Could be anybody.

Randall Clegg accosted you before you killed his son.

You could bet the field.

My money's on them.

Well, if my pass has proved anything, whoever it is, they'll come for me.

Some way, somehow.

Well, let's be ready.

Woo!

City slicker embarrass you at your own sport.

Beginner's luck.

And in my sport?

You don't use a rope.

I'm a bulldogger.

A whatnot?

I jump off a horse and wrestle a 400-pound steer.

You make a living suplexing cows?

It's a fair fight.

He comes out of the chute when I do, and then another cowboy called a hazer keeps him on a path so I can get my angle.

So it sounds like the hazer does all the work, and then you get the glory.

I get it.

I feel more like a hazer than a bulldogger has of late.

Get the fuzzy end of a lollipop at work.

Fair enough.

That I keep delivering, making my bosses happy, will send me back to civilization soon enough.

Okay, beginner's luck, huh?

Just broken down, Cowboy and Love Mr.

Bears on this friend.

What will it be, Henry?

Those paint neat mads.

You from around here?

You're barking up the wrong tree, hoss.

No.

So I was just wondering if you might know the collect family.

Nothing but trouble.

Really?

How much exactly?

Because I might have kicked the hornet's nest there.

Don't have much use for rules the rest of us follow?

They making threats?

You know, you can count on them to deliver.

That's with the face.

No way Henry was giving you a hard time, even though you probably deserve one.

I was just trying to figure out how much I gotta watch one of my guys' backs.

You have that mouth down cold.

Teen comes first above everything else.

Always has, right?

Miles, Sabrina, wow, it's been a while.

You mean since you ghosted me at our reunion?

Turning your back on the res is kind of your thing.

I'm messing with you too.

Like, I dunk on your ambitions beyond Broken Rock.

College football, Marines, MMA.

I was always training you on from afar.

Ambitions and achievements are two different things.

So, how are you?

Were there two of us at a cowboy bar?

I'm on a date.

What's your excuse?

Here with my teammates.

All right.

Her dear Marshall now.

How's it going?

Traded badges to finally police for my people, but some of the elders think being a marshal makes me a traitor.

I'm aware one for fitting in.

I'm still cherry.

Don't be a stranger, Miles.

How in the hell do we have mayo that's expired before this team's even stood up?

Sorry, I swear I'm great at this.

She needs your bulldogger for inspiration.

Bulldogger.

From Get Me Out of Montana to Rodeo Bunny in the blink of an eye.

You missed the action, Bill.

Yeah, I know.

Movie Night with My Kid took priority.

Hey!

How's the camera's working now?

You ready to bring your boy home?

I'm gonna give it a little more time.

So you'd rather hang out where you were threatened than with us?

Just trying to keep you out of the line of fire.

Says the guy has gotten a shot ever since he showed up?

Harry, did we know that you were coming?

Well, some news is best delivered in person.

DOJ got a complaint from Randall Clegg.

Claims you violated his son's civil rights when you killed him.

Violated a lot of things.

His rights wasn't one of them.

Well, Clegg claims that Carson dropped his weapon before you fired.

So Dutton's in a timeout, and the rest of you get ahead of whatever the DOJ investigation will find.

Putting her teammate under the microscope is a waste of time.

Going chills up for your friend is as admirable as it is unhelpful.

I need an impartial review.

Deputy Cruz, you're in charge.

Fine.

I'll get things started.

Perhaps Carson Clegg dropped his weapon and you missed it.

I mean, the woods are shadows, foliage, chaos.

I'm calling this in the chaos.

If he dropped it, I'd have seen it.

You got any proof?

I got my word.

Good luck with your investigation.

Hey, you know those queens don't have legs.

Don't need any with Gifford propping them up.

I'm not waiting around to learn my fate.

No, you're not.

You're actually rolling out with me because the Forest Service needs bodies to help with the search and rescue up at Bridger Range, and I'm betting you know the area.

Yeah, it's a brutal group of steep peaks.

Well, you up for some man versus nature safer than what I'm facing here

Helicopter carrying Tom Weaver and his pilot called in an SOS after the wind kicked up.

We're still trying to locate it.

You don't have eyes from above?

There's a no-go for air assets, even unmanned.

Leaves us with over a thousand square miles to cover on foot and a shortage of search and rescue qualified rangers.

You two will be handling section D4.

Sorry to interrupt.

Are there any updates on my father?

Elevation's over 8,500 feet up there.

Get ready for some climbing.

Please, I'm a damn mountain goat.

Just try and keep up, bro.

It'd be nice to get Dolly Weaver some answers about her, Dad.

Only going to get worse, so shove off.

We're armed, so thank you.

Your standard issue can't handle what's on that mountain.

Is this what you being hard at work on the investigation looks like?

Good foods in the good kitchen.

We've worked up quite an appetite already.

Okay, so Miles said he didn't see anything because he was engaged with West Cleck, and there are no red flags in Casey's incident report.

Oh, you trusted Dutton's word at your own peril.

Hey, it's not like Casey is some dirty meat cop.

So why have you decided he's guilty?

It's not about guilt.

If he's here with his own personal agenda, how effective can this team be?

And Dutton dragging this team down is going to be that much harder for you to get reassigned to DC.

It's in your best interest to be very thorough in this investigation.

Are you telling me to manufacture evidence to support Kleck's claim?

I'm saying that even if there's no smoke behind this Kleg fire

DOJ investigation is going to find other Dutton skeletons that could hurt this team.

Best we find them ourselves or get buried when someone else does.

You want to get out of this ditch that your old team threw you in?

Hmm?

Better get your hands dirty.

Didn't become a marketer.

Marshall to snoop on my teammates.

Feels especially wrong digging into a guy who keeps pulling our asses out of the fire.

This investigation is a great way for Gifford to destroy any trust that we've built with Casey.

Clog's fronting for sure.

But Gifford's right about one thing.

The complaint will impact the rest of the team.

So I called a friend at DOJ from law school.

That's even less believable than you having a friend.

Okay, I said I went to law school.

I didn't say I finished.

My friend said Clegg had a local attorney file the complaint, Andrew Schroeder.

Guy has a track record of filing civil suits against law enforcement.

Huh.

Well, DOJ finding against Casey would set up Clegg to sue him.

Unless we can prove that Carson Clegg was armed when he was killed.

Sheriff's office finished processing the site.

Bullets fired from Clake's positions came from two weapons.

So both men were armed, case closed.

One gun was recovered from West.

Haven't found Carson's.

The man fell down a damn ravine.

The gun's probably floating downriver.

They know that property better than anyone.

Maybe they got to it before law enforcement could.

No gun makes clearing case even more complicated.

I know Schroeder.

Let me go remind him that his new client is an outlaw.

We should also sniff out if he's got any evidence he's holding back.

We?

So's the Kwai Man act because you've taken in the scenery or you've plotted your revenge against Clegg.

I'm just glad he's coming after my badge.

I'm a kid.

Giffords is way out of line backing up a bogus claim, man.

She's taking out some old beef with my dad on me.

So's Clegg.

Not the first time I've been punished for doing what I thought was right.

When was that?

Pretty much since birth.

You smell that?

Mm-hmm.

Aviation fuel, nothing brings me back to Afghanistan faster.

Not sure Tom Weaver deserves us risking our lives for him.

I didn't realize that you knew him.

Love him.

He's a transplant.

Bought a big chunk of land and thinks that makes him king of the valley.

I see.

You don't like him because he's doing a bad impression of your dad, huh?

Or a good one.

Flying around in these conditions, knowing the storm's coming in, these ranchers get obsessed with their brands.

Start treating their people like livestock.

There's a sheen on the water.

Bird went down upstream.

So, how do you know this fancy lawyer?

Your husband has done to us.

His wife, Queen of the PTA, you do couples' Pilates together.

I don't embarrass me in front of them.

Oh, why?

Because he'd spread the word at the country club?

Look at that shine, Terry.

It's like a yogo sapphire.

Well, you do love reflective surfaces.

Andrew?

Belle.

I haven't seen you since your birdie on 18 cleaned me out.

Damn straight.

You here looking for a gift for Jared?

I'm looking out for you.

This is my colleague, Andrea Cruz.

Andrew, we hear you filed a civil rights complaint against our teammate.

You've heard of privilege.

I can't talk about my clients.

Well, given our relationship.

.

I wanted to share that the Klagues are facing investigations on the local, state, and federal level.

How would the club feel about you being associated with such lowlives?

Andrew, business can't be so bad that you have to advocate for actual criminals.

Marshall should be more concerned about the actual criminal carrying their badge.

Casey is a chip off the John.

Dutton block, thinking he can play outside the lines.

This will do double duty: Carson's funeral and talking to the press.

Making noise to the media will influence the DOJ's review of the complaint against Casey.

Everyone in Montana will cheer when a Dutton finally learns a badge isn't a shield for their sins.

Okay, so you can prove that Carson was unarmed when Casey killed him.

Can you prove he wasn't?

Schroeder is going to focus on Casey's character and make him out to look like a cowboy who ignores the rules.

Then we need to look into his Navy service, his life in Montana, find out who our teammate really is.

Well, seems like a good time to remind you that Killing Clegg was justified.

Justified and right.

I don't know if he's the same thing.

So, what?

You're a bad man for doing your job?

There's only one person ever believed me to be a good man.

She's gone.

You teammates believe in you, gun.

Oh, they're investigating me.

I know they have to, but.

And the people you expect to have your back trying to punish you really tells you something.

So, what you find losing the badging?

Whatever happens, happens.

It's kind of hard for your teammates to get close to you, man, if you always keep them long as length.

Just because I won't go to the bar with them doesn't mean I wouldn't jump into the fire for them.

Hey, how's it going to crash away?

Mm-hmm.

That's it.

Let's go.

That's foreign up.

Dismount and eat dirt.

I just need whatever supplies you have.

Hey, you haven't seen a crashed Hilo around here, have you?

That badge.

What the hell are Feds doing up here?

It's got nothing to do with it.

With you, okay?

You should really put that gun down before you're getting yourself into some real trouble.

Hey, look at me.

Nah, nah, nah, come here, look at me.

Hey, you shoot one of us, man.

The other one's gonna kill you.

You got it?

Picked the wrong wagon train to ambush.

Alright.

Wasn't gonna hurt anyone.

Hey, you doing living all the way up here, huh?

Got laid off.

Wife left, lost my house.

I live off the land, or I don't live at all.

Hm.

You want to deal with them?

You can zip time to a tree and just pick them up on the way down?

Oh.

Be a death sentence if the storm gets him before we do.

Yeah.

All right, look.

You're going to head down to the ranger station and you're going to turn yourself in.

Yes, sir.

Go anything else surrender?

I wouldn't.

It feels wrong letting that guy go.

This is by the laws of nature now.

Survive or die.

Kind of envy the lack of gray area out here.

False summit, some a bit going around takes time we don't have

Only option straight up.

Well, vertical climb means travel light, travel fast, so since you'll be here only.

All Casey's deployments, no court-martials, no captain's masks.

He's basically a model sailor with a silver star to prove it.

Evlecticle trying to paint a war hero in a bad light.

Well, Cal's mentioned that he and other special operators struggled to turn off the switch when they got out.

Kyle's mentioned, huh?

Rather intimate personal history?

Yes.

Sweet Andrea.

I am befriending my co-workers because I don't have one foot out the door.

The point is.

Seals, they don't have the best reputation, so it could open Casey up to be painted as a rogue warrior.

A few years back, the militia kidnapped his son.

Word on the Res was Casey took a bunch of ranch hands, let an assault get him back.

He took on a militia with his cowboy buddies?

Was it extrajudicial?

His dad was a livestock commissioner.

Casey was his deputy.

Maybe they did it through their office.

That's called frontier justice.

So Klug may have a point.

Come over here.

Please help her Weak pause.

It's barely breathing.

Hey, you Tom Weaver?

Yeah.

Well, we are US Marshals and we're here to help you, okay?

Got sit rep?

We get her off this thing, her guts stay with it.

All right, let's find a spot to cut it from the train once it's moving with her.

Service base, we have the downed helo, and we got two survivors in section D4.

We're gonna need an immediate GAS back.

Media casback.

Negative.

All sites are grounded.

Weather conditions are worsening.

Anything we have to cut her off is with the horses.

I'll be back in 10 mics.

Sensing you boys were military.

Navy.

Mike.

Pilot.

Helen.

She's a vet, too.

Go.

I'm gonna stabilize Helen, okay?

Easy!

I'd have survived a warrant there and be killed by a bear.

Shotgun we left on the horse would have helped.

Pistols are just gonna piss it off.

Well, this is no good for the pilot.

We're bugged out.

It didn't help though, they were shaking the damn thing.

Helen's dead.

Why'd you make her fly in these conditions?

Extreme winds were not any weather reports.

I'm on the clogged purchase of land over in Spring Hill.

I need to assess the rock covering.

Dad, you get a good look at it from the back seat.

Helen God, if we rebalance the weight, it would help the chopper get under control when the wind's.

kicked out.

She saved your life even though you valued your ranch more than hers.

Hey look we gotta cut him loose.

Okay yeah rotary saw a Broco torch it would be nice.

If we knock out the seat we could probably pull him free but we might break his leg in the process.

Go ahead.

Sensing you'll enjoy it.

Yeah, well extraction staff is not gonna work with a broken femur.

And I can't bust jump anymore without playing down this mountain.

You have to take Helen down, too.

Rescue mission takes priority.

Recovery team will get her later, okay?

Can you grab her wedding ring?

Prefer her husband gets it from me than a stranger.

Hey, suggestion box is open, Kyle.

Well, since we're already.

Taking the seat out.

We can use that to stabilize his leg while we belay down.

One of us tandems, the other one uses the horse to handle any extra weight.

Horse assisted tandem belay.

Okay.

Missed that damn buds.

A cowboy, a seal, and a U.

S.

Marshal.

Member of the first family of Montana Ranchers.

Wait.

You're a Dutton?

Yeah, bite down on this.

Okay, one, two, three.

So, what does my crack team learn?

Well, it's a he said, he said about whether or not Carson Clagg was

Armed when Casey shot him.

That's precisely why I tasked you with finding Casey's skeletons, Deputy Cruz.

What's in his closet?

Circumstances surrounding his son's kidnapping recovery are.

Sketchy.

Sketchy.

How?

It may be a case of frontier justice.

John Dutton was livestock commissioner, and he resigned a few weeks after.

Given a power as close as a confession as Dutton's capable of, I mean, could this be more frontier justice?

Did Casey have a reason to kill Click?

Other than defending his own life?

Well, maybe he thought Carson had something to do with his father's death or his brother's disappearance.

Randall Clark was a pain in the ass for John Dutton when he was LifeSock Commissioner.

It was a weak motive.

He left a trail of bodies after his buddy Chairman Rainwater was almost killed, didn't he?

All justified.

Did Casey have a connection to the Broken Rock Man, the Clegg shot?

Erdie Kenno?

Yeah.

I'm not a human LinkedIn for the res, you know But you and I take a drive I'll solo down prep the horse

How's this dude's getting to me, man?

I think it's gonna be safer if you tan him with Weaver.

The only guy who never puked in the Hindu Kush can't handle Montana?

Well, I'm gonna find some branches, stabilize his leg.

You just tend to his wounds, all right?

Sorry about your father.

I got to Montana too late to meet him.

With the stories, it seems like he could have taught me a thing or two about ranching.

Wasn't much for teaching.

You had to learn the hard way with him.

My old man was a hard ass, too, only on Wall Street.

Working for him made me rich, but I was never too fond of his shadow.

Part of coming out here was to escape it.

Good luck.

Trying to escape my dad's shadow just led me into one.

More darkness.

And we don't get to pick our fathers.

No, but you wanted to tell her husband yourself.

Reminded me of a good thing mine once did.

Well, I don't think I'll remind you of him as a rancher.

It's a hard living.

You gotta be all in to have a hope of success.

I cut my teeth on my grandparents' ranch in Wyoming.

As a kid, I'd try and build something of my own.

Be my family something more than a stock portfolio.

Here in a crackerjack like you quit the cattle gang, give me

Pause though.

I'm not all out.

Still got 300 pairs.

Plenty of time for that.

Hey, storm's getting close, so let's build this and boogie.

These are my neighbors.

I have to be able to face them when I go home.

Is this Ernie Ko's room?

Miles, what's going on?

Excuse me, Auntie.

Marshal Gifford here would like to speak with Ernie.

Ernie's down in PT for his leg.

Sorry to disturb you.

We tried.

In my experience, a wife knows more about her husband's business than he does.

Any idea if Ernie has a relationship with Casey Dutton?

Everyone knows the white man who used to break horses on the res.

That all?

Nothing more personal?

I never met him, but his wife taught at Ernie's school.

He was quite fond of her.

We both were.

You don't say, ma'am.

Do tell more.

Light distracts are getting close.

Steady, how you doing?

Don't focus on me.

You good?

Still that's alive.

Yeah.

Our collar just used their shotgun against us and beat me into the woods.

I'm gonna pursue.

And leave two men behind this time.

Sorry, sorry.

All right, you get him down the hill.

I'm gonna pursue that recluse.

One is done, right?

Mission's not over.

Please.

I'm responsible for a hired bodycott today.

Alright man, let's get off this mountain before it throws anything else at us.

One, two, three!

How was your field trip?

I was enlightening.

Learned that Dutton killed a man who had tried to kill someone important to his late wife.

Meaning what exactly?

Well, Ernie and Monica Dutton worked together.

They grew so close that he and his wife used to have Monica and her son over for dinner when Casey was deployed.

We don't know if Casey knew any of their history.

Clegg just needs to whisper that to the press, and they will have a field day exploiting the Dutton name.

Think anyone in this unit will have a career after that?

Now, I'm informing the Office of Professional Responsibility of the connection.

You are feeding Casey to the wolves based off a theory.

I'm keeping this team away from his blast radius.

But file that order if you want a job done right.

You can't pull a badge over dots that may not connect.

Windshield, rest of us are bugs.

Okay.

You were on KC6 during the incident, so walk us through it again from the start.

We all pursued the Cleggs to their hunting grounds.

Casey and I broke off from the team down Flankham, pushed up the hill.

Took fire from two positions.

First, we got separated by the IED.

Hey, a decorated Navy SEAL missed a tripwire.

There's no chance.

Maybe it was detonated remotely.

Wes and Carson were behind cover.

They didn't have eyes on us yet What did my worst nightmare thanks to you two?

Lost track of how many times you saved me today

Wish we could have saved everyone, sir.

Some U-turn you just pulled on that transplant.

Yeah, I might have pegged him wrong.

Yeah, let's get back, man.

Because I want to dig into that guy who almost mudzucked us.

I'd rather face off with that bear and see Gifford.

Yeah, I get it.

But I got no worries.

You're gonna be good on that front.

It's a law in nature, right?

Well, I'm sorry, Cal, but looks like Dutton's goose is cooked.

Oh, so you can prove that Clegg was unarmed then, huh?

Well, not exactly, but this officer needs to project a proactive stance against abuse of the badge.

OPR has clear the way for you to fire Dutton before they finish their review.

I warned you hiring him was a mistake.

Now you can correct that.

Last time I ended a teammate's career.

Cost him everything, so you want his badge so bad to yourself

Check this out.

We had the sheriff search the scene again, looking for ways the Cleggs might have had eyes on Casey and Miles while engaged in a gunfight.

They found trail cams from a grad student in Missoula studying gray-crowned rosy finches.

The sheriff missed the trail cams in the initial processing?

They're under-resourced and looking for a missing gun.

There was a note on one of the cams.

The Clegs were piggybacking off of it for hunting.

Ms.

Carson Click.

Weapon firmly in hand.

How's that for Thorough?

Abuse of the badge looks pretty damn heroic to me, Harry.

Glad you cleared this up.

I'll tell OPR to shove it.

Didn't work.

Hey.

It's true, I'd rather be back in DC than here.

But not so much that it turns me into a rat.

They'll never play me like that again.

So okay, I should point out by it.

Everybody, meet the man who saved my life, Casey Dutton.

Rancher needs his hat.

Oh, this thing is filthy and this room is sterile.

That uh land on Spring Hill you were saying belongs to the Quinns?

It does.

They went bust over grazing them pastures.

It's going to take at least two seasons before it's fit for cattle again.

You saved my life and my pocketbook today.

I'm in your debt.

We all are.

Enjoy your family, sir.

No, hold on.

I need you out there protecting Montanans without having to worry about your ranch.

Let me lend you some hands.

I can't accept that.

When my father makes you an offer, you don't have a choice.

You had my back today, Casey.

It's only right I say thank you.

You let Casey know he's in the clear, right?

Mm-hmm.

I left him a message, but having her back.

I'm sure he doesn't think our pack protected him today.

You know, I get a sense that he's used to others failing to stand up for him.

Yeah, after digging into his past, it seems trouble's been hunting Casey his whole life.

And he's still standing.

Yeah, but comes at a hell of a price.

Look who it is.

Beg me to come out just so I can watch y'all crying your beers.

Saved my ass with the cleggs.

I had no idea.

Well, they had your back just like you had mine.

Well, the upside is, pretty sure we got Gifford off your ass.

Doubt that's the last time I'll deal with him.

Or the Clags.

Hey, check this out.

I think we let one of America's most wanted go.

Specifically, Rudy Carpenter.

Come on.

Does that not look like the eyes that the guy shot at us?

Serial bomber on the lamb for three years, Rudy Carpenter.

Yeah, it would explain why he was gonna force.

We can't just ignore this, right?

Everybody, this is Dolly Weaver.

I don't mean to crash the party, but my father insisted on buying drinks for the people who saved the job with a man who saved his life.

I'll join you that.

Hell yeah.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Nice to you.

Yeah, all right.

Thank you.

Cheers.

You know, for what it's worth, I hated turning your world upside down.

Nothing my dad despised more than internal affairs.

We're all good.

Well, good day for you, you kept your badge and you made a new friend.

She's just grateful we saved her, Dad.

Well, I know what grateful looks like, and that is not how she's eyeing you.

Saddle up, cowboy.

Hey, look, I have questions about how you two arrived here together, but.

I'm just happy, man, that you hear it all.

Come, factor we could keep family's world from falling apart.

Justified.

All right.

Yeah.

Well, maybe the badge is a bath of penance.

Well baby packed her stuff up she didn't even say goodbye.

Upset Dolly robbed you of a chance to buy another round from your favorite bartender?

She seemed so scared not knowing if her dad was dead or alive.

Well, she's lucky to have that kind of relationship with him.

He's looking.

Bartender's my kid.

Maddie been out of her life over 20 years.

She's your daughter?

I did this boasting to move close to her, but.

.

.

It's becoming clear that she'd rather have me out of her life than in her bar.

Cow.

Give it time.

Yeah, no more, no fun, I'm done walking the line.

I'm going back.

I'm going back to getting out of my mind.

Yeah.

All the skills my dad says you have.

Seems like life of the party is not one of them.

Definitely more comfortable driving cattle than being jammed in like one.

Well, your teammates seem nice.

Glad you all are out here keeping people safe.

Makes Montana less scary.

Montana's not scary.

Just have to get to know it.

God, well, I wish I knew a local that could give me a crash course in all things big sky.

Wait, you were born and raised here.

What do you say?
