Juan Pablo Raba isn\u2019t so sure that his character, Joaquin, was the one who fatally shot and killed Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/dutton-ranch-cast-and-character-guide-11975150\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Dutton Ranch;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Dutton Ranch&quot;}\" class=\"link \"><em>Dutton Ranch<\/em><\/a> season 1 finale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI don&#8217;t think he did it,\u201d the actor tells <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em>. \u201cBecause he&#8217;s not a killer. He&#8217;s not even a cowboy, for Christ&#8217;s sake. He has never shot anyone in his life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Still, the signs certainly suggest Joaquin was the one who pulled the trigger\u00a0\u2014 especially since his drug lord father, Mariano (Raoul Max Trujillo) ,had instructed him to kill Rob-Will earlier in the episode. He can also be seen parked outside the family home with a gun resting on his passenger seat just before the murder takes place.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Jai Courtney on &#8216;Dutton Ranch&#8217;<br \/>Credit: Emerson Miller\/Paramount+<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, Rob-Will\u2019s death isn\u2019t actually depicted on screen, with his daughter ,Oreana (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/dutton-ranch-star-natalie-alyn-lind-clarifies-her-character-age-12005066\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Natalie Alyn Lind;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Natalie Alyn Lind&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Natalie Alyn Lind<\/a>), instead overhearing the gunshot and running downstairs to discover him already dead on the foyer floor. A vehicle can then be seen speeding away from the scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But Raba, who claims not to know who killed Rob-Will, believes that the murder isn\u2019t that cut and dry. \u201cUntil we have a scene where we see him do it, I wouldn&#8217;t be so sure,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He points to the general timeline of the crime as further proof of his character&#8217;s innocence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIf you think about the episode and you go through the timeline, Rob-Will says bye to Oreana, and then we stay on her, and then not even 30 seconds later, we hear a gunshot,\u201d he explains. \u201cSo that means that whoever did it literally went ding dong, Rob-Will opened the door, and shot him. It takes a lot of cold blood to do that. You have to be a professional killer to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Which is a skill Raba believes Joaquin does not possess. \u201cNumber one, Joaquin is not a professional killer,\u201d he says. \u201cNumber two, Mariano being Mariano, do we really think that he thinks his son is going to go through that? Or would he have a backup plan? Who knows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">By not unveiling Rob-Will\u2019s killer, Raba says <em>Dutton Ranch <\/em>has opened up \u201ca world of opportunities\u201d surrounding his death and its perpetrator. And he&#8217;s definitely got some theories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cDid Mariano called Beulah and say, \u2018Hey, take care of this or I will?\u2019\u201d he asks, referring to the Jackson family matriarch played by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/person\/annette-bening\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Annette Bening;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Annette Bening&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Annette Bening<\/a>. \u201cDid Beulah take care of this? We already saw Beulah take care of Rob Will&#8217;s dad. And she was just blackmailed by Rob-Will. Like, everyone is in the crossroads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Raba also floats the idea that Joaquin may have \u201csaw somebody else\u201d kill Rob-Will, further complicating the narrative. After all, his final scene in the episode sees him looking down at the gun with teary eyes.\u00a0\u201cIt was very difficult to shoot, by the way, because I was there in that car,\u201d he says of Joaquin\u2019s last look. \u201cIt was really difficult because not even my director, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/the-madison-dutton-ranch-potential-crossover-11927357\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:Christina [Alexandra Voros];itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Christina [Alexandra Voros]&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Christina [Alexandra Voros]<\/a>, who&#8217;s absolutely amazing, knew what was going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"'Dutton Ranch'Credit: Emerson Miller\/Paramount+\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/sixPMEYyPm6ZAPEG.HDRLw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/9af45aa39c636f0e2e5ea336df0dd27e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-primary p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-primary\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"flex-none size-4 -scale-x-100 text-primary lg:size-6 [&amp;_path]:fill-current\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M3.1 3.1V11h1.8V6.314l5.392 5.393 1.415-1.414L6.313 4.9H11V3.1zm17.8 17.8V13h-1.8v4.686l-5.393-5.393-1.415 1.414 5.393 5.393H13v1.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-primary hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>&#8216;Dutton Ranch&#8217;<br \/>Credit: Emerson Miller\/Paramount+<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They even filmed several options that showcased different levels of culpability.\u00a0\u201cWe were like, \u2018Okay, do one now where he did it.

What&#8217;s going to happen now?\u201d he asks. \u201cEven if his dad takes over, how can he be a part of that 10 Petal family again? Everything is gone.
