Marshals (2026) s02e01 Episode Script

Previously on Marshals
I would love to make East
Camp part of my operation.
- Formal offer.
- [Dolly] With all the money
Dad's raised, he's eager to close.
Expand or die.
East Camp is one thing I can hold on to.
tense, dramatic music ♪
These people want me dead.
We need to be armed and ready.
[gunfire]
With Andrea headed back to D.C.,
we got some big boots to fill.
You're leaving us?
I I didn't know how to tell you guys.
My dad was wondering if
you'd want to go fishing.
In Texas?
It's handled, sir.
[gunshot]
tense, suspenseful music ♪
[panting]
[Dolly] Kayce?
Kayce?
- Still with me?
- Yeah.
Sorry.
House getting shot up
with your son in it
earned you some deep thinking.
A father's supposed to
protect their child,
not keep traumatizing him.
That's why you sent Tate
fishing with my dad.
If anyone can get his mind right,
it's Tom Weaver.
tense, dramatic music ♪
[gunshots]
- [Belle] Cal!
- [groaning]
[shouting]
[grunts]
- You good?
- [shouting]
[Belle] He's flanking us.
[Calvin] We need a
better fighting position.
Come on. On me.
tense, suspenseful music ♪
Okay. We can stronghold here.
- [gunshot]
- [man grunts]
[vehicle departing]
They're bugging out.
With answers we need.
[Christy] Your flight's still on time.
Two of the East Camp attackers attended
the same international
veterans group function
in Norfolk back in 2021.
So you've discovered
that two of the operators
knew each other.
It's thin.
I'll dig into the photo,
you head to your new life in D.C.
dramatic music ♪
Think we saw every inch
of your 5,000 acres.
I upgraded you to the premium tour.
[chuckles] Careful.
Could be a gateway to hand-holding.
Expecting someone?
tense, suspenseful music ♪
I've had enough surprises this week.
You lost?
[sighs] I am exactly where
my client wants me to be,
Mr. Dutton.
Stan Cobb, attorney at law.
Ain't no ambulances to chase out here.
[chuckles] Apologies for the intrusion.
I'm here at the request of Tom Weaver.
If my father had business with Kayce,
I would know about it.
He'd like to keep it
between him and Kayce.
If you don't mind giving us a minute?
I want to hear this.
[Kayce] What's Tom doing?
[sighs] Upping his offer for East Camp.
That's absurd. The matter's settled.
He knows where I stand.
Mr. Weaver never takes no for an answer.
Well, you should.
I'll sort this out when my dad lands.
[gasps]
[whimpering]
[panting]
[grunts]
I'd reconsider, Mr. Dutton,
given your son's future is at stake.
[panting]
soaring, dynamic music ♪
Shooters could've hitched
a ride with that cowboy
in the truck. You get a plate?
I only had eyes for the shotgun.
It's got to be tied to
the East Camp attack.
Moving, eastbound.
Mm-hmm.
[Belle] That's them.
intense, dramatic music ♪
[engine revving]
[tires screech]
These fellas ain't gonna go quietly.
- U.S. Marshals!
- [Belle] Throw down your weapon.
[Calvin] Search 'em.
Same phone as the East Camp attackers.
Mission might not have been over.
Yeah, but Rainwater made it to D.C.
Unless Kayce or Miles heard different.
[phone buzzing]
[Dolly] My father would never
authorize threatening anyone,
let alone Tate.
[Cobb] No one's gonna hurt the boy.
Though fishing accidents
have been known to happen.
tense, suspenseful music ♪
Tom wins.
East Camp's his.
Just give me my son back.
[Cobb] Sign and it's done.
Two conditions.
I need to see that Tate's okay.
Fine. The other?
Get these guns off us.
[chuckles]
I've heard stories about the Duttons.
Fact that you're doing this
tells me you haven't heard 'em all.
Tate's the only leverage you need.
- [grunts]
- [Dolly gasps, screams]
intense, dramatic music ♪
[grunting]
[Dolly gasps]
[groans]
[screams]
What the hell is going on, Kayce?
Where's my son?
You're gonna tell me where Tate is,
or you're gonna hate what I do next.
Kayce, stop. It's me.
Your dad have you honey
trapping me from the start?
- Was that the plan?
- You're scaring me.
You should be scared.
[whimpering]
You think I'm a part of whatever it is
that my dad is doing?
The man I know is
incapable of extortion.
Extortion?
[shrieks]
Tate's all he needed to get
me to sign over East Camp.
The men with guns were
here to take me out.
And my dad had no problem
with me being here for that?
[panting]
None of this makes sense.
Tell me about Texas.
Where's your dad's place?
Uh uh, somewhere around Lake Fork.
I need to know how
many men he has there,
where the infil points are,
the types of topography.
What are you planning, an assault?
It's how I handled this before,
and I know a guy who can raise an army,
- so talk.
- I-I want to help you, I do.
This is just
This is a lot to handle.
Well, I'm sorry that
your dad stealing my son
is hard on you.
tense, suspenseful music ♪
Um [sniffles]
If my dad is really
starting a war, then
[sighs] feels like he'd go where
he has an army of his own.
That's that's not Texas.
- Where then?
- Ranch in Wyoming.
He's got the whole area wired.
Look, the angrier you are,
the less clear that you're thinking.
You ever consider what happens
when my dad doesn't hear from Cobb soon?
I've always picked up the pieces
when life's broken me, but
this?
He's-he's a businessman.
Hey.
Negotiate.
Hey, I
I-I'm your partner here.
You're not my partner.
You're my leverage.
[groans]
Here, let me see.
- No, I'm good.
- Come on.
[stammers]
Did you get anything on the dead guys?
Yeah. Foreign operators,
just like the East Camp attack.
Looks like we got a
conspiracy to unravel.
Hey. Back from Capitol
Hill so soon, huh?
Rainwater wasn't up for sightseeing.
Bailed right after the hearing.
So, here I am, reporting for desk duty.
Well, listen, congrats on
getting the mine moved, man.
At least one of us is
getting a win today.
Looks like you two ended up
on the bad end of a beatdown.
One of Kayce's ranch hands
tipped off the attackers
about Rainwater. We went to
question him, found him dead.
Killers got the drop on us.
Hey, y'all dig up anything new?
Andrea uncovered two of the attackers
were together at a veteran
event a few years ago.
Okay. Look, we don't get something new,
they're gonna slide back into the shadows,
just like they did after that bombing.
These guys make no mistakes.
Well, they made one.
Not killing us.
You recognize him?
Yeah, the the hoss
from the trailer park?
Hey, Christy.
[Christy] That's Jeb Burroughs.
Veteran of Canadian Joint Task Force 2.
He was dishonorably
discharged a decade ago.
Multiple court-martials and a string
of arrests for aggravated assault.
Dangerous guy.
Could be the guy running this unit.
[sighs] Yeah, but he's
unlikely our mastermind.
So who's he working for?
tense, suspenseful music ♪
[phone buzzing]
Is it handled?
[Kayce over phone] Never send a
lawyer to do your dirty work.
Kayce.
You with Dolly?
She's not answering my calls.
Yeah, I'd get used to that.
Probably so.
But when men get backed into a corner
I need to know that Tate's okay.
[sighs]
[sighs] Kid's only worry
is the fish aren't biting.
[sighs]
So, where do we go from here, Kayce?
All I care about's getting Tate back.
East Camp's yours. Dolly, too.
Best outcome for all of us.
If you try anything,
I will paint the walls
with your daughter.
Understood.
Mutual assured destruction's
a proven deterrent,
- but after we make this deal
- It's bottled up.
- We both walk away, forever.
- You sure?
I heard that revenge is a
dominant gene in Duttons.
Well, won't be the first time
I traded vengeance for
my family's safety.
This ends when you bring me Tate.
[Weaver] Not sure I'm
gonna be able to give
a SEAL home field advantage.
Need you to come to me.
Lake Fork, is it?
tense, suspenseful music ♪
[sighs] Big Horn, Wyoming, actually.
I'll see you in four hours.
[sighs]
Can I take the kid upriver?
Not yet.
Dutton's coming here.
With Dolly.
[sighs] Yeah,
and hell's coming with 'em.
I told you I should've handled him.
We've got the only thing
left on this Earth
that matters to him.
He'll bend.
[groans]
What happened to de-escalating?
My whole life happened.
Why aren't you asking for
your teammates' help?
The only way this ends clean
is if your dad has outs.
Getting the law involved only
puts Tate in more danger.
Let's go.
[Dolly] More of my dad's goons?
Get in.
Glad your trigger
finger wasn't too itchy.
Yeah. Just a little
jumpy after yesterday.
That's why I stopped by
on the way to the airport.
Any progress on Rainwater's attackers?
Well, the dots we have don't connect.
How's Tate holding up?
Trauma like that ain't easy to shake.
He's fine.
Oh, I-I didn't realize you
had company. [chuckles]
Are you guys heading somewhere?
Yeah, we're gonna go meet
Tate and Dolly's dad.
We're, uh, kind of in a rush, actually.
tense, dramatic music ♪
Oh, right. And, uh,
I have to catch my flight.
You sure you're good?
Yeah, just eager to see Tate.
Right. See you around.
- [vehicle door closes]
- [engine starts]
Please tell me you're
having more luck finding Jeb
- than I am locating Kayce.
- [Miles] Sure am.
He works as a foreman
on Tom Weaver's ranch.
Wait, wait, wait.
You're telling me the man
who's connected to all these
attacks works for Tom Weaver?
East Camp did come under fire
after Kayce rejected Tom's offer.
The man's a pillar of the community.
I mean, Jeb's got to
be moonlighting, right?
It does seem odd that Kayce's friend
would be behind the attacks on Rainwater.
[Calvin] Exactly.
What's a successful rancher want
with a rare earth mine?
I'm gonna make a phone call.
[Belle] Pillars of the community,
they're not above reproach.
Believe me.
Dig into Tom Weaver, okay?
I'm-a head to East Camp,
see if I can lay eyes on Kayce.
You got it. Yeah.
[door closes]
[phone ringing]
[Calvin] What the hell, Dre?
Think you missed your LZ by, like,
a couple thousand miles.
I went out to East
Camp to see Kayce, and
he was acting weird.
I just, I can't shake
the feeling that something's off.
Wait, you saw him?
'Cause he's been ghosting me.
Felt like he didn't want me around.
He's probably shutting down
knowing that you're gone.
Or maybe I was the third wheel
since he was with Dolly.
dramatic music ♪
The Weaver Ranch foreman is the leader
of the East Camp attackers.
What the hell is going on?
What happened to your face?
Your ranch hand lead is what happened.
Chairman Rainwater went before Congress
to move the mine, not stop it.
He knew there was an
alternative site in the area,
Tom Weaver's land.
That explains why he wanted East Camp.
And so desperate to take Rainwater out.
Yeah, I've been in Montana
long enough to know that land
is plenty motive for murder.
Let's go manhunting for Tom Weaver.
I'm-a spin up as much law
enforcement as I can.
Hey, putting a BOLO out
might be a bad idea.
[Calvin] You're not on my team anymore,
but yeah, you're still
questioning my calls.
Tate's with Tom Weaver.
Okay, so all the more reason
to get the word out,
right? Find him fast.
Kayce did say that he and
Dolly were heading out
to meet up with Tom and Tate.
Maybe that's why he
was acting so strange.
So you're saying that Tom's holding Tate
as some kind of bargaining chip?
Weaver needs land.
He might be switching tactics.
Okay, but when Kayce's
house was attacked,
we were his first call. Why clam up now?
'Cause maybe we're a threat.
If Weaver knows we're onto him
Tate's no longer leverage
and is dispensable.
Kayce and trouble.
Whatever it is my dad is doing,
this isn't the guy that I know.
He's a good man.
Do you think I'm a good man?
The best.
That proves you don't know a damn thing.
[sighs] Definitely been a
shift in him over the years.
Best of him died with my mom.
Threw himself into work,
obsessing over his business,
trying to outshine my
grandfather's legacy.
How can the man I grew up idolizing
be some sort of monster?
We don't choose our fathers.
What was that you said about
having traded vengeance
for your family's safety before?
Something with my dad.
And you walked away? Didn't look back?
Walking away was the easy part.
You think my dad can do that, too?
Wasn't his initial plan.
That's why I got to get
as close to Tate as I can
before Tom reveals his true nature.
Hey. Get this.
Tom Weaver has raised over
$200 million dollars just this
year alone on his cattle venture.
Well, that explains how he paid
for the private jet that took off
from Nistler airstrip six hours ago.
That's right where Belle
and I got ambushed.
Where'd that plane go?
Well, flight log says Lake Fork,
Texas, but it never arrived.
Okay. Find me that plane, Dre.
Hey. Y'all finding anything?
Tom Weaver was permanently prohibited
from offering and selling securities
in the state of Wyoming two years ago.
Okay. Well, just
sounds like a fancy way
of saying "fraud" to me.
I mean, so did he come to
Montana just to continue
- his shady ways or?
- [Belle] Seems like it.
Weaver claims to have 80,000
cattle in his portfolio.
Company website says
they're mostly on feedlots
scattered between Oklahoma and Texas.
Other than Weaver's place here,
I can't find any deals
with other ranches.
So where are the cows?
- [Belle] Hell if I know.
- [Miles] According to
meat packing plant invoices,
they sell the exact same amount,
to the pound, every week.
Week to week on the rail with the
exact same number? Ain't no way.
- Mm-mm. You've got a
- [sighs]
shady businessman,
you got phony invoices,
and cows that don't exist.
I think Tom Weaver's
running a Ponzi scheme.
Keeping your nine-figure
ghost cow scam running,
that's that's something you kill for.
[Belle] A Ponzi scheme this size,
Weaver has got to be
walking a tightrope.
Any hiccup, this thing implodes.
Hiccup like losing your ranch.
- [Andrea] Hey.
- Hey.
Did you find Weaver's plane?
At an airfield outside of Big Horn.
He owns a ranch nearby.
That's 300 miles away.
And if Kayce left when I saw him,
that means he's almost there.
Let me make a call.
All this goes according to plan,
you'll be out of a home.
Home's wherever Tate is.
That's what I thought about my dad.
somber, dramatic music ♪
Can I really keep him in my life?
Extracting myself from my family drama
wasn't one of my strengths.
[Dolly] Everything I do is for him.
I had my own hopes and dreams, but
he always managed to keep me around.
Somehow turned his
legacy into my purpose.
My dad wasn't a saint, either.
If you knew who he really was,
how did you two move forward?
Painfully.
I guess the upside to all this is that
we can bond over our twisted families.
What the hell?
Loaded gun gives off bad intentions.
tense, suspenseful music ♪
Mr. Weaver wants me to escort
you the rest of the way.
Got a pretty good tour guide right here.
He wasn't asking.
Planning on doing some hunting.
Not on Mr. Weaver's land.
What the hell is going on?
Your dad is stacking the deck.
If my dad's breaking the law,
why is he involving the police?
[Kayce] Because the
sheriff is on his payroll.
He's using him to box me in.
I got to adapt.
Sheriff just took your rifle.
There's no way he's letting
you get a gun near my father.
You're right, he won't let me. You.
You want me to shoot my father?
It's just insurance to
allow us to walk away.
Anything goes sideways,
his men won't do anything when
he's staring down the barrel.
[Dolly scoffs]
I need you to be my holster.
He may be a monster,
but he's still my father.
Would you rather I put
this gun to your head?
tense, dramatic music ♪
Think that makes things
safer for you and Tate?
Partners or what?
dramatic music ♪
[Calvin] Go, go, go!
tense, suspenseful music ♪
Everyone walks away from this,
I ever get to see you again?
[car door closes]
Maybe.
I'm here to ensure this
has a peaceful resolution.
Mr. Weaver wants no weapons involved.
You're good.
This way.
He's clean, Tom.
Need all this to stay above board.
Jeb.
Leave the rest to you.
Breaks my heart it's
come to this, you two,
but everything I've worked
for is under threat.
Bring Tate here, now.
After you sign.
Here.
Held up my end of the deal.
Come on, Dad. You have what you want.
[Weaver] After Tate's fishing
accident, Kayce showed up
seeking revenge. Left my men no choice.
What are you doing?
I knew you weren't a real cowboy.
Really wish you'd
accepted my first offer.
Jeb.
Dad! [grunting]
Dolly.
Everything I'm doing is
to protect you, pumpkin.
Dad!
You can't unmake family.

Hey, you're okay. You're okay.

What did I do wrong?
You didn't do nothing wrong.
Except for being my son.
[helicopter approaching]
Miles, Belle, push left. Let's go!
[Belle] U.S. Marshals.
- Throw down your weapons!
- Hands.
- On the ground!
- Hands!
- Hands!
- On the ground!
[handcuffs clicking]
Kayce's inbound. Tate, too.
Y'all Duttons keep it interesting.
You okay, Tate?
Took you long enough.
Didn't make it to the airport?
Not after that goodbye you gave me.
[Miles] Weaver's making a run for it.
Feels like a collar we earned.
Given your personal connection,
you want to sit this one out?
Personal's why I got to see it through.
Just need a loaded weapon.
[Calvin] Dre, on me. Let's go.
Hyah, hyah!
soaring, dynamic music ♪
[Andrea] Out of the car.
[Kayce] Couldn't get out
of your father's shadow,
so now, you're burning down
the whole family legacy.
It's over, Dad.
Everything's a negotiation.
[Weaver groaning]
Dolly.
Sweetheart.
She's dead.

I got one last deal to offer you, Kayce.
Vengeance you've earned.
Living with Dolly's death's
the punishment you deserve.

[Miles] Come on. Come on.
Come on. Let's see what you got.
There you go.
Do that move I taught you.
How are you and Tate holding up?
Tom Weaver being a villain's got
to be messing with your heads.
Seems like no matter where I live,
someone's willing to kill for it.
I'm sorry about Dolly.
I know opening up to her wasn't easy.
Tom says she was in the
dark about everything.
She brought the money in,
but had no clue where it was going.
There's something I need to know ♪
Hmm.
Her only sin was being unable
to break away from family.
Though I'll love you

I did get one other thing out from Tom.

You know, I haven't
rebooked my flight yet.
Feet keep getting colder?
[Andrea] The way you
all worked to get Kayce
and Tate today reminded me of the hell
you pulled me out of with the Cleggs.
I never had teammates
who fight for each other
the way that you do.
I don't know, I feel like
I'd be crazy to walk
away from this group.
So you're a Montanan now?

Man, tell me this.

Tom Weaver is a sharp guy.
Why did he think that kidnapping Tate
was gonna get him what he needed?
Leveraged me to sign over East Camp.
Was gonna pretend that
Tate had an accident,
and I showed up to his
property in a rage.
Oh, I see, and then they put
you down hard like in
self-defense.
Hey.
You're one hell of a father, Coyo.
Find that hard to claim when
killing a man isn't the worst
thing that Tate experienced
in the last day.
Yeah.
Fortunately, the Dutton
way won out again.
The Dutton way.
[door closes]
You weren't kidding.
Made a mess in here.
Did what I had to do to get to you.
Hurts my heart thinking of
all you've been through.
You came for me, Dad.
Like you always do.
somber, dramatic music ♪
I'll clean this up.
Why don't you get on up to bed.
- Let me help.
- Get on upstairs.
This is my mess.
I'll let you play the
dad card while you can.
But I'm-a be 18 in a couple months.
Almost a man.
