This wasn't the end of Johnson's Watchmen role he appeared in three more episodes throughout the first season through flashback sequences. One place that Big Sky and Ryan Phillippe fans alike could look for guidance is to last year's Watchmen, which aired on HBO and also killed someone that viewers may have perceived to be a main character off in the very first episode, in Don Johnson's Chief Judd Crawford. Box, the 2014 novel upon which Big Sky is based. This is shocking for anyone watching, but not for anyone familiar with The Highway by C.J. Oh, and he shoots Cody in the head for daring to get too close, with a shot of a blood-stained window seen in the aftermath to leave no question regarding his fate. While this is shocking, the twist at the end of the episode is that Rick Legarski (John Carroll Lynch) a State Trooper who we previously thought was just, you know, a weirdo, is actually behind the kidnappings and in league with Ronald.

No question about it.Ĭody was investigating the disappearance of young women at the truckstop along the Insterstate-as we see throughout the episode with both Jerrie Kennedy, the singer/prostitute (Jessie James Keitel), and the two road-tripping teen girls (Natalie Alyn Lind and Jade Pettyjohn), a truck driver named Ronald (Brian Geraghty) is a sociopath who uses a stun gun with leisure and apparently routinely kidnaps women. Ryan Phillippe, who had been a key component of the show's marketing campaign as private investigator named Cody Hoyt, got shot in the head at the conclusion of the episode. That's right: the show 100% killed off its lead.


Ryan Phillippe plays Cody Hoyt, a private investigator, in ABC's new David E.And it’s extremely unclear whether or not that move will end up paying off in the end.The following story contains major spoilers for the first episode of Big Sky. If you thought Ronald’s story would end finally, then this episode was probably not your favorite. And once he talked Mark into leaving the jail (!), it was just a matter of time before all hell broke loose. The moment Ronald started blabbering on and on as he usually does, it was clear he was trying to stall. And considering there was no telling what Scarlet knew or who she told, it made more sense to bring her along for the ride than to kill her. He was strictly there to clean up a mess. While Rick was scary in his own right, he had nothing on that creepy man that bum-rushed Scarlet at her house. Mark: Well, she sounds like a smart woman. That all I'd ever be is a tiny, silly man who couldn't control his urges. Ronald: My mother used to tell me I would never amount to anything. They answered to people, and it was not surprising that another state trooper was involved. We always knew the kidnapping and the trafficking were bigger than Ronald and Rick, but that’s all we knew. Maybe they were numb to it all, or maybe they’d made their peace with the inevitably of the family killing itself from the inside out, but it was business as usual back at the ranch, except for that part where Margaret finally got what she wanted all along. And Horst, I ain't got nothing left to give you. That family was broken well beyond repair, but the seeming ease at which Horst, Margaret, and Cheyenne carried on as if three members of their family hadn’t died in the past few days was chilling. Heading into the final hour, Horst was the only Kleinsasser man left, so it was just a matter of time before he bit the bullet. Cassie and Jenny continuously put themselves in harm’s way, with no real plan, and it almost got them killed more than once. The mysteries of the ranch and the secrets of a fractured family started promising, but Blake’s death kicked off a downward spiral for the storyline as a whole.
