The final season of Longmire doesn't appear to pack in any surprises at this point in time as it continues on from season 5 with Walt (Robert Taylor) still facing the civil trail and the prospect of losing his job. So he sets out to 'bury' his assets, the money that he had at home. As a bank robber hits the local bank. Asking for money by calmly giving the cashier, Paula (Alyssa Gabrielle Rodriguez) a note and standing by. Until Paula signals the security guard, Al (Michael Weaver) that there's been a robbery. He gives chase and a blogger, Brooks Cameron (Harry Katzman) does the same with his phone. Vic (Katee Sackhoff) finds Walt burying the money and says they should've been at the bank robbery ages ago. He's not going to get his land taken away and used for building.
As he questions Paula, she's already on the blog and interview and she tells Walt about the note and how he had a gun. She can't find the note but recalled everything it said. Walt tells her if he sees it on eBay then there's going to be trouble. She hands him the note and he also wants to close his bank account. The robber didn't ask for any twenties and that's how Walt gets his money. Mayor Sawyer Crane (Eric Ladin) approaches him telling him about how the robbery is all over the news and he had to hear it from his friend and it took so long for them to get on the case. Putting his foot in it as he mentions the shot guard and his wife turns up right then. Yeah Mayor what's eating his arse? I mean this isn't the first time the robber has struck, known as 'Cowboy Bill' he has hit the West coast too as Walt says and also the East coast cos of the news bulletin. Vic doesn't notice anything on the blogger's video footage cos she was only looking at it casually when she should've scrutinized it more.
Cady (Cassidy Freeman) is rescued by Mandy (Tamars Duarte) and brought back to the office. She was out of it enduring the sweat and she punched her. She had weird dreams about Mandy cleaning up blood and seeing Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) hanging, as well as an owl. Which Mandy says is probably Cady's spirit animal but she should talk to someone about it. Mathias (Zahn McClarnon) finds Henry's abandoned and overturned truck and knows something is wrong as he tries to look for Darius (Joseph Daniel Havenstar). Cady says she can't tell Mathias cos he's her client and he asks her whether she wants him as a client or finding Henry. In actual fact, Cady doesn't know where Darius is.
As Darius heads out into the desert to throw some burgers in Henry's face and not give him any water. Tormenting him further. Later Marilyn/Crow Medicine Woman (Tantoo Cardinal) shows up and doesn't let him go either cos he brings trouble here. She knows Henry's Cheyenne and that's all. Laying down some bags next to him letting the spirits decide if he's worthy to be saved or not. Mathias talks to Walt about Henry who has to delegate solving the robbery to Vic even if his job is on the line as he has to find him. She doesn't think she can fill his shoes, well how many times has she actually taken on a case before.
As Walt and Ferg (Adam Bartley) spoke with the guard before, he tells them he saw nothing and he gave chase only to be shot. Vic tells Ferg if they don't find out what's happening then Walt could lose his job and she won't let that happen so he should ask Meg (Mary Wiseman). She says it's unethical but does so anyway. As he goes to apologize to her for asking, she tells him that the guard lied and feels guilty about it. Vic says they need to recheck the footage and notices a man standing in the road across the way and then heads back in instead of checking on the shot guard or 'gawking.' Meaning he was the one who shot the guard. Ed Nardo (Joel McKinnon Miller) thought the cameraphone was a gun and so he shot him thinking he was the bad guy.
Vic takes the results of the solved case to the Mayor and tells him she came here to punch him and Walt told her to take the higher ground like him which is what she's doing. He asks if she wants to speak like that to him cos she's going to be alone and Walt is going to lose the trial.
Walt follows Cady as she meets with Darius telling him she has his money and Walt traced her phone. He notices the burger bag from the Crow Res in is car and knows someone who can help. Yeah Marilyn who only wants to look out for herself telling him the same thing about bringing trouble here. He replies it's trouble that brings them. She wants something in return and he gives her the money he withdrew from the bank. Huh all of it!! She takes him to Henry but he's not there. Henry having visitors like Hector (Jeffrey De Serrano) who tells him it's not his time to die and shoots at the rattle snake. Then also by Elwood (Eddie Spears) who gives him the bag in his hand. Henry was sorry he couldn't help him.
Marlilyn doesn't stay when Walt finds Henry and asks for water, thought he would've brought his own. He helps Henry by making a makeshift gurney and drags him away; getting bitten by a rattler in the process. Making it out alive. Cady berates herself for not helping and it's her fault he's missing. Telling Walt about her dream. Not much of an exciting intro to the final season but you could have slapped a few people in here with some legal technicalities!! Firstly Meg says she can't tell Ferg what the guard said about the robbery. Well it's not unethical to divulge anything relating to a crime. Even lawyers are required to do this in certain circumstances. Also Marilyn and giving her all his money, even if he had good intentions, Walt should've saved some of that cos all she did was just run out. Not very deserving or worthy! All she could do was compare Walt to an eagle preying on the osprey. They've been here so many times she can't tell which is the fish and which is the eagle. Walt tells her he's not an eagle.
Henry asking "are we there yet?" in typical child fashion. But also telling Walt he needs a cellphone. Walt replying he wouldn't get a signal out here. But kudos for seeing it through and taking Henry out all the way even with a snake bite. In season 2 he had to do that in the snow with the criminal he was after and here it's in the sweltering heat with Henry to save. Don't know about you but seems it's Cady who always seems to do the wrong thing lately and for a lawyer that sort of behaviour isn't good enough. She has ideals but she must weigh those up with doing the right thing, that's obvious but she keeps falling into the same trap of not thinking through the consequences of her actions and Walt must help her out as she's still a little girl. I know as his daughter, she always will be but she needs to make more informed choices.
The Mayor deserved a good hiding with his attitude, if the FBI haven't caught Cowboy Bill and have no leads where's the shame in a small county not being able to do the same. But of course it will be Walt who breaks the case or I'll eat his hat!! ha.
