Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Landman Season 1, Episode 3.Kayla Wallace talks about it Countryman The snake scene in Episode 3 and how it will further impact Rebecca’s arc. The podcast-inspired series is set in West Texas and explores the oil industry and what it means to be a country man. Rebecca Falcone is a liability lawyer sent by Shepherd-Hastings to deal with the aftermath of a TTP oil tanker’s collision with an M-tex Oil plane stolen by a cartel. However, Falcone’s arrival is bad news for Billy Bob Thorton’s Tommy Norris, as the company might blame him for the whole thing.

Wallace remembers the snake scene Screen rant about what it means for her astute lawyer. The actor reveals: “the snake was real,” and she was “absolutely terrified“While filming in the scene, though.”There was adequate security.” Wallace reveals this when talking about her character Rebecca is an outsider who “is thrown“Into the danger of the world and immediately she comes”Face to face with a snake,” But The lawyer will adapt“Shit and laugh with the information,” and win the case. Check out what she said below:

The snake was real. The snake was very real and there was adequate protection, plexiglass, protecting me from the snake and the snake fighters who were handling the snake so there was no danger to me. But I was scared. It was a real snake. (Laughs) I was completely scared. As I said, there was adequate security so I didn’t have to worry. But I’m not even good with spiders, I was terrified.

She is, in a sense, thrown into the dangers of this world and, in a sense, into the ruthlessness. It’s the Wild West and she’s confronted with a snake. She absorbs all the information she can get, so she adapts to the environment she finds herself in and lives with the information she gets to do her job properly. Ultimately, she is what she is. She is a successful lawyer and will definitely win her cases. So yeah, I’m excited for people to see where this takes her and what she does with this information.

What this means for Landman

Rebecca will probably win the case

Based on the Boomtown podcast by Christian WallaceCountryman was created by Yellowstoneis Taylor Sheridan, who is known for creating relatable stories in authentic settings. The series was filmed on real locations in Fort Worth, Texasincluding the headquarters of the American Association of Professional Landman, the Fort Worth Petroleum Club, Texas Christian University and Ratliff Stadium. Use A real snake in the scene reflects Taylor Sheridan’s emphasis on authenticity for his shows.

Wallace’s comment also suggests this The snake scene was an important event for Rebecca In Countryman Episode 3, and she may later refer to this scene in her defense of the case. Her comment about Rebecca stopping at nothing to win her case also seems to be teasing that despite the obstacles and challenges M-tex Oil has a good chance of solving the caseand it’s just a question of how.

Our take on Rebecca in Landman

Rebecca represents the perspective of the viewer

Rebecca is one of the few female characters in Countrymanand unlike the family members of those who work in the oil business, Wallace’s character represents an outsider’s perspective. As someone who has studied liability law and has never set foot in Fort Worth, Rebecca knows little about how it all works. Her relationship with Tommy Norris is also changeable. The snake scene is crucial for Rebecca as she faces the danger of the Wild West for the first time instead of looking at it from the outside.

As a liability lawyer, Rebecca has the power to blame the whole thing on Norris and call it quits, and whether she’s Team Norris is anyone’s guess. Wallace’s commentary provides some certainty about the lawyer’s character and the journey she embarks on Countryman Season 1 and beyond. Despite Rebecca’s tough exterior, she is extremely compassionate and intuitive. The lawyer still has a lot to learn and Tommy is the only person who can show her the harsh reality of the oil business.
