That's my father.
We can't have anyone

Why are there detectives in the house?
Why?

Why won't you answer?
Is this a crime scene?
Is that what you're saying?
I don't have any information,

Oh, God.

No!

While no statement has been made
from the governor's office
and state police refuse to comment,
it's clear by the family's reaction
that some sort of tragedy
has taken place.
To recap, day one of the
governor's impeachment hearing
was set to begin at 8:00 this morning.
Now, the governor failed
to appear at that hearing.
A state trooper on scene
reported hearing a gunshot
coming from the residence.
Now it's well past 10:00 a.m.
and while we still have no answers,
the grim reality is that
I don't even want to say it.
[ANCHORMAN] We, of course, hope the best
for the governor and for his family,
but it appears more and more likely
that the 26th governor
of Montana has died.

Why doesn't the ranch use this anymore?
My grandfather sold

We used to have a camp man out here,
but it's too dry this side
to run many cattle,
and wolves and bears are
pretty hard on the calves
up high.
Pretty far from everything out here.
That's my favorite thing about it.
All this room needs is a little paint.
A stove wouldn't hurt.

Good afternoon, Sarah.
Pleasure to meet you. My name's Grant.
I highly doubt that.
Well, it's Grant to you.
This is from surveillance video
we obtained from the home
of the Montana attorney general.
[PANTING, MOANING]
When did you bug his house?
Before we take on any assignment,
we make certain to protect ourselves
from the client's lack
of resolve or discipline.
It obviously creates a conflict
for the attorney general,
having a sexual relationship
with counsel for the company
that is both suing the state,
as well as the greatest
beneficiary of this impeachment.
[SARAH SQUEALS ON VIDEO]
Should we watch the whole thing?
[SARAH PANTING ON VIDEO]
[PLAYBACK STOPS]
Have I proved my point?
If anything leaks
or evidence leads back to us in any way,
you will make it look as if
we committed the murder.
You are committing the murder.
Your presence here
is committing the murder.
And we provide logistical solutions
to conflicts you do not have
the capacity to resolve on your own.
It's not the axe that chops the tree,
it's the man who desires
the tree to be chopped.
And whether that man chops it himself
or hires others,
the result is the same.
And it all begins with
one person's desire.
You have a desire.
Do you have a logistical solution
for the conflict that we lack
the ability to resolve?
We think we do.
Do you care to share?
Typically,
the less you know, the better.
Uh, in this case, however,
you'll have a role
in how this goes, postmortem.
Okay.
Now, looking over his file,
it seems Mr. Dutton has amassed a fairly
long list of individuals
who likely share your desire.
- [CHUCKLES]
- However,
there's too many variables
in hinting this was
done by another player,
so we think suicide is the cleanest.
Suicide.
John Dutton is the
opposite of a quitter,
and he has no history
of mental health issues,
no history of drug or alcohol abuse.
We take care of all that.
Okay, there'll be all the
physical evidence present
to support an erratic mental state.
Can't you just mimic,
like, a heart attack?
We could.
And now we're relying
on a medical examiner
to do an autopsy, a toxicology.
There's just too many risks of
the triggering agent being discovered.
Suicide offers the highest reward
and the lowest risk
in this circumstance.
And in most circumstances,
actually, it's, uh
it's our preferred staging of a scene.
Okay.
Well, it seems your wire's cleared.
Only thing I need from you is
permission to execute.
You'll need to say it.

You didn't
Oh, sweetheart. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
We discussed this and
you said, "Go forward".
This was you?
This is what you said that you wanted.
I said it. I didn't And then
and then we never discussed it again.
Why would we?
[CHUCKLES] Wh
What would there be to discuss?
Who are all these tears for?
[STAMMERS SOFTLY]
For me.
They're for me.
My father, his legacy,
my political future
all took a fucking bullet to the brain.
[SNIFFLES]
I thought he did it because of me.
And the hearing.
Jamie.
Just stop it.
This is your subconscious
desperately trying to protect you,
- but there's no need.
- [GLASS CLINKS]
You are protected.
You are completely shielded from this.
I know that the finality of it
is traumatic,
but I need you to focus
on a world without him.
On a world that you govern,
you control.
Do not mourn
a 68-year-old man that never loved you.
He abandoned you,
emotionally and financially,
yet you still succeeded.
You overcame every single obstacle
that he put before you.
You won. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Look at me.
[SNIFFLES]
Lions don't die of old age.
Lions die in the jaws of younger lions,
and you are the younger lion.
This is your kingdom now.
[SNIFFLES]
Thank you.
This is the trust.
Tate is beneficiary.
And you are now the executor.
What about the inheritance tax?
No, we don't pay it on the principal,
just the income from the principal.
But, uh
at both the state
and the IRS, they will argue
that unrealized gains are income, but
our bigger problem is
Jamie seeking to revoke
the conservation easement,
which he will start tomorrow.
I don't believe that our father
would commit suicide.
He didn't.
This is Jamie.
I also don't see how it was Jamie.
I don't see how he could do it.
That gutless piece of shit
can't do anything on his own.
Anything, but
he sure as hell found
somebody who could.
There's cameras in that house
and on the street.
Mm.
Why don't you call the state police?
Kayce, call 'em.
Ask 'em what they saw on those cameras.
I don't have any authority
with the state police.
You are the fucking state police.
The livestock commission
it's a branch, Kayce.
Call them. Ask them.
Ask them for some
departmental cooperation,
for God's sake.
I mean, he's your father.
Put it on speaker.
[LINE RINGING]
[RECEPTIONIST] Sergeant's desk.
Who's the lead on Governor Dutton?
McIntosh and Dillard.
- Who's on now?
- Dillard.
Can you connect me, please?
This is Commissioner Dutton.
Yeah, I'll put you through. Real sorry.
Thank you.
[DILLARD] Uh, this is Dillard.
Commissioner,
we are all real sorry over here.
Is the COD official?
I'm afraid it is.
There were powder burns on his hand,
prints on the pistol registered to him.
And you watched it on surveillance?
We don't have the surveillance footage.
The transponder went down
around 3:50.
Knocked out power to three city blocks.
Neighborhood never knew
'cause, uh, Northwestern
had it up and running
by 5:18.
And what's the official time of death?
M.E. called it at 3:53.
Okay.
It's not something
you'd want to see
even if we had it, Kayce.
All right. Thank you.

Well, isn't that convenient?
♪
Jamie doesn't even have the contacts.
The $80 billion dollar company
our father ran out of Montana sure does.
All he had to do was want it.
[SNIFFLES]
Go look him in the eye
if you have to, Kacey.
Look him in the eye.
Then come home and help me
decide how to kill him.
