Longmire 6.7 "Opiates and Antibiotics" Review

As Walt (Robert Taylor) brings glasses to celebrate at work with his booze from the office drawer and we get another song again in the opening, as last week's ep, he finds the others are working on the Ian murder.  Even Zach (Barry Sloane) is there.  Vic (Katee Sackhoff) was at the morgue and tells Walt et al that he wasn't killed with 16 arrows but there was a 17th puncture there too and she couldn't see it or how it was made.  Was probably drugged, didn't they do a Tox screen?  Walt finds that Eddie had parents and he sent cheques to them but they never cashed them cos they didn't want his dirty money, which Ferg (Adam Bartley) says was "good for them."  The investigation leads to the Irish mob again and ultimately to Shane Muldoon, cos you know that part of the story wasn't over and done with.

Vic stops a truck and waits for Walt to get there to find it's carrying artifacts headed for Nighthorse (A Martinez) and his casino.  The crates have false bottoms and inside he finds heroin, up to 20 kilos.  Thus giving him the ammo he thinks he needs to get Nighthorse once and for all.  But as he questions him, subtly leading up to the drugs.  He firstly thanks him for his testimony cos there was nothing but lies being told until Nighthorse told the truth.  Nighthorse replying he was under oath.  Walt then tells him about the crates and the drugs and Nighthorse tells him it was Malachi who is setting him up.  Walt reads him his rights and Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) arrests him as the casino is on sovereign land, so Walt can't technically make the arrest.  The way Walt got into accusing him was very unexpected saying how he would have to owe him a favour for his testimony and suggesting that would be turning a blind eye to the drugs.

Obviously Nighthorse begs Walt not to take him to lockdown at the County jail since Malachi's supporters are there and they won't leave him alive.  Walt arguing he's done the wrong things over the years but this time he's going to do things by the book.  Nighthorse even begs him but Walt turns a blind eye.  Nighthorse's lawyer, Kevin Morris (Currie Graham) makes a deal with Walt, rather Walt offers by saying he will put Nighthorse in isolation if he agrees to tell him the whereabouts of Eddie Harp (Dan Donohue).  However Nighthorse insists he doesn't know that when Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) visits him.  He tells Henry he's been set up and why would he go to the FBI and open himself up to them if he was guilty.  Arguing it's always the White man's way to undermine them and begin tribal wars.

Henry tells Walt that Nighthorse's artifacts are real and he had communication with the government and got those artifacts to display in the casino.  Walt found the crates when searching Nighthorse's house with Vic and they appear to be different.   Vic saying she's thinking about leaving his land and taking the RV back to the trailer park.  Walt is reluctant to see her go.  Oh so now he's gets 'feelings' for her!  Well not something we all wanted to see in the sense of unrequited love on her part would've been much more interesting.  Where does it say characters have to get together, even for a short while or one night??!!  Peeved with that!! (To come!)

Walt didn't find any emails between Nighthorse and the government and tells Vic to look for those.  She's adamant Nighthorse is a criminal and thus guilty, that they know he is.  Walt replies they think he is, they don't know or have any proof.  Conveniently!  Ferg gets the licence photo of Eddie when he was about 20 years younger with his red hair and he is the only one who saw him.

Mathias tells Cady (Cassisy Freeman) that Catori (Susan Santiago) has kidnapped Tate (Phoenix Wilson) and his parents want him back, but she hasn't seen her.  She calls when Mathias is still there and tells her she's coming to see her.  She wants him to have treatment and then will return him to his family.  However Mathias takes Cady in and she doesn't answer his questions.  She will be accused of second degree murder if Tate dies. So she asks Ferg for help but he can't on the Res since Walt is also out.  He recommends Zach can help and she hires him for $500 a day.  He was her father's deputy for a week and he's not strictly a PI.  At the hospital she finds that Catori couldn't have got in since there was a crowd out there.

Henry finds Rusty (James Macon Mauldin) and takes him to a mobile medical unit on the Res where Henry finds the doctor treats drug addicts with methadone. Zach comes in for a drink and tells Henry he's working for Cady to help Catori and Henry tells him of the mobile unit.  They wait for her to turn up since Cady's left voicemails for her.  He gets the treatment he needs and both Cady and Zach see Eddie who's pretending to be the doctor's assistant, since no one knows who he is.  Later Catori gives herself up to Mathias and Cady gives the pills to Tate's father since the penicillin didn't give him anaphylactic shock he should give him the antibiotic pills since he doesn't have to go to the hospital or see doctors.

At the station Zach sees the younger photo of Eddie and tells them he's at the mobile unit.  Walt tries to talk him down but he doesn't listen when he says his parents want to see him.  Eddie holds the drug addicted doctor hostage and asks where Ferg is.  He gets his wish since Ferg shoots him square between the eyes.  Probably to Walt's chagrin since they can't pump him for info now on Muldoon!  Okay what's with the shootings, first Vic shoots Chance and now Ferg.  This one rounding up a few loose ends and the beginnings of yet more to solve before season's out.  How Walt's day turned from wanting a drink with his friends and colleagues to having an investigation on his hands.  Don't know why I've been spelling Knighthorse with a 'K' and not as Nighthorse!! for some reason.  Oh well never mind!  Though he wouldn't really approve of that 'White' man spelling!  Ha.
