Something happened to Monty Miller Jon Hamm at the end of Landman season 1, episode 9, but it's not entirely clear whether he lived or died. He makes the big decisions about which wells to dig, which rigs to work over, and his story brings the high-stakes business side of the oil industry.
By the ending of Landman season 1, episode 9 , it seemed like Monty was going to make some major changes because of his heart issues. Those changes seemingly weren't enough, however, as Monty's heart rate spiked, and he looked physically uncomfortable just before the episode ended.
It's not clear what happened to Monty, but Landman did hint at his fate. Based on how Monty's heart rate spiked and how much pain he was in, it looks like he is either dying or dead in Landman episode 9. Monty himself said he had a " busted, rotten heart ," and the constant stress of managing a multi-billion-dollar oil company wasn't doing him any favors. His increased heart rate and physical discomfort could be a sign that he was having yet another heart attack immediately after his third bypass, which would be catastrophic for his health.
If Monty didn't already die from his heart complications, he's almost certainly at death's door. It is possible that Monty survived, though unlikely. Since it didn't actually show him die on-screen, Landman could always find a way to show that Monty lived through his health complications. There's another hint in Landman episode 9 that Monty isn't long for this world. The morning after his heart rate increased, Tommy got a call from Cami that didn't go well. While Landman didn't reveal exactly what Cami said, Tommy's response of " I'm sorry to hear that.
What can I do? Is there any way I can help? On top of that, the coyote Tommy saw get shot at the end of the episode is heavily symbolic, and it could be a metaphor for Tommy taking Monty's place at M-Tex. If Landman did, in fact, kill off Monty, there are a few reasons the show would have taken Jon Hamm's character out in the first season.
