The truth behind the Jackson family's dark secrets on Dutton Ranch

They ain't ranchers. Those [ __ ] are thieves. That is 10 Pedal Ranch cowboy Austin as played by Sterling English. And he's just ratted out the Jacksons. Temple's got an operation down in Mexico that steals and smuggles cattle in illegally. Oh, so it's illegal cattle that Bula and her boys are smuggling. It makes sense because we have a lot of cattle moving this month. Mhm. I'm aware. Except it doesn't make sense because you're running drugs. Y'all, by the end of this video, I think I can convince you that our boy Austin doesn't know the whole truth about what's happening. But we do. And by we, I mean you and me and all subscribers of this channel and anyone who's really squinted to see all the small details of episode 1 through 8 of Dutton Ranch. Let's take them in order. Starting with episode one in the murder of ranch foreman Wes Irires. I know you're asking questions about me. You snitch. Wes, are you actually back up just a second because there's another line of dialogue that's really important. Wes, it seems, was asking questions like why some of the ear tags get flagged in the tally book and some don't. Take him to auction. He went to auction last time. He knows you didn't. Chad says like why some of our ear tags get flagged in the tally book and some don't. And this is a little bit of rancher accounting here, but I believe Chad's saying that some cattle come and go off the books. Typically, you'd have something like this to record pertinent info for every cow. Rob Wills looks more like this. And I know this because I pulled this screenshot of Beth holding it from a very, very helpful 90 second long trailer that Dutton Ranch shared four weeks ago. In hindsight, I think they might have revealed too much. More to come from there. Plus, I interviewed this snitch, y'all. Austin Lewis actor Sterling English is going to join us for just a moment at the end of this video, but you came for the episode 8 breakdown. So, flash forward to episode 3, and we've talked about this phone conversation, I think, in every one of these recap videos, but Mula is talking to Mariano, who is concerned that she has a new foreman. We have a lot of cattle moving this month. I expect no surprises. He says cattle, but I was never really convinced he actually meant cattle. I thought he meant cattle, as in drugs or maybe human trafficking. We seem to get confirmation of that a few days later when once again in that trailer, we saw this. I'll hold this on screen for a second because it's worth analyzing. I mean, it's got to be cocaine or heroin or something, right? Admittedly, I'm slightly less familiar with the world of narcotics than I am the world of ranching and cowboying, so you know, help me out. My other thought was a really fatty slab of meat, but if you're weighing raw beef, you're not doing it on that dirty of a scale. I mean, he's using the same leather gloves he used to pull fence. The red veins running around each package are confusing, but I think I can explain that in just a second. After questioning Wes's disappearance for weeks, Cowboy Austin has been threatening to blow the whistle on this underground operation, but it didn't really happen until episode 8 when he gathered with Rip, Beth, and Zachariah. After gaining their trust, he says that Wes was snooping around too much and probably learned the truth that the Jacksons are smuggling cattle. Whole Jackson family's crooked top to bottom. That would explain bullet foot and mouth. Yep. I think we just learned who's responsible for the cow that brought foot and mouth to the Dutton Ranch. With just one episode to go, Rip and Beth likely believe the Jacksons are just cattle smugglers, but that's going to change. Here are two more clips from that long trailer. you running drugs? I know it was super short, but Rip punches Rob Willigan and then he asks him, "Are you running drugs?" So, that's coming. There's also this. We've hired wolves below. Wolves don't care whose hand feeds them. What have you gotten us into? You were in a hole and so is I. There's actually several things there worth talking about. The guy who's talking about wolves is Mariano because after episode three, actor Raul Max Truho is given credit for playing that part. Yeah, that's him right there. Did you notice that the final 5 seconds of that clip find Rip and someone else taking a body to the new train station? So, I think it's pretty reasonable to assume that the final episode of season 1 will find Beth and Rip reacting to news that they've partnered with cattle poachers. Learning the truth that they're actually drug runners who hide drugs in the bodies of slaughtered cattle explains the red tint on the packages, doesn't it? Then they'll also fight said drug runners and maybe stabilize their ranch or the Jackson ranch along the way. Oh, dang. Is this episode 2 hours long? Because I've been talking forever and I've barely scratched the surface of episode 8. I mean, episode 7 ended with Bula seemingly stroking out, but she's sort of a footnote. She had a heart attack. Will she live? She'll be fine. That's not the Bula surprise I referred to either. I'm not sure anyone thought Bula would really die. She's alert and she tells her boys to get along. And then what I'm trying to say is I'm ready to take that final ride with you. But you are. Did ever just propose marriage? He helps her sneak out of the hospital and they go to his house. And that's about it. And I think along the way, we learn Everett was once married, too. Can't say I predicted Abula and Everett engagement, but here we are. 50/50 chance that never happens because Wen is also threatening to bring the family down. Just a little flashy for my taste. No offense. That's a murder weapon. I mean, after Bula gives the ranch to Rob Will, he had to do something, right? Unfortunately, the sheriff is not interested in this story that Rob will killed Wes and he kicks Kino out of his office. That might get him killed because at the very end of this episode, Waqen makes this phone call. Hola, Papa. Translation: Hey, Dad. I need your help. And who's his dad? It's Mariano. Found my other boot. We have a lot of cattle moving this month. I expect no surprises. We've hired wolves below. Wolves don't care whose hand feeds them. I'd say the season 1 finale has the potential to be the best Yellowstone franchise finale since like 1883. Except for one thing. Carter. Poor hung over Carter. Y'all, I totally agree with my Dutton Rules podcast co-host Addison Hager, who last week said this, but my hot take is that Carter was is Carter is becoming the Aninssley of Dutton Ranch. Sorry. At least in this last episode, he's nothing but whiny. Like, I have a lot of sayings that I could say, but it's all wildly inappropriate. Pull up your bootstraps and suck it up. Real short version of Carter's story in episode 8. Beth has a heartto-he heart with him and he tries to cowboy with Rip but sort of sucks at it. So he gets real mad and tells Rip, "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." Beth stops him from running off. "You held my hand when I said goodbye to my dad, and I was in the room when you said goodbye to yours. None of it is fair. That perhaps some of it is meant." For reasons that aren't really clear, he retreats to his buddy Dwight White's place, where, for reasons that are even less clear, the sheriff is there waiting for him. At least we learned what happened to the dang leopard. What happened to Zena? She's at that Texas Zufari Park down in Kaufman. They did have a little arc for us where we released the leopard and they they that that was a version, but that never we never never got filmed. That's from the other interview we did with the Dutton Rules cast this week. And the full thing is coming during next week's podcast episode, which is live on YouTube at 2 p.m. Central. Music this week. Just one song of importance as Zachariah and Austin are talking at the bar. Pipe Dream by Red Shahan can be heard over the speakers. I'm Billy Dukes for Taste of Country. Thanks for watching and thanks for subscribing. How intimidating is Cole Hower. He's He was at first. Um I mean cuz he's Colehauser of course, but then like I got to know him and got to be around him and he's so nice and so professional and he's such an amazing actor. It sounds like that if people prove they're pretty good on a horse, um, he lightens up a little bit on them quicker than someone who maybe hasn't proved himself on horseback. Was that your experience as well? Yeah. Are you talking Rip or you talking Cole? Both. I feel like Rip Like Rip. Definitely. Cole is just he's human. Uh, he's he's just such a cool dude and I have all the respect in the world for him and but I feel like Rip absolutely. I mean, if you're if you're not a hand on a horse, he is he's not going to he's not going to like much.
