What it is about Indomitable?
In the plot, agent Kyle Turner (Eric Bana), Veteran of the National Parks Service, is summoned to investigate the suspicious death of a woman who fell from a cliff to Yosemite. The case, at first treated as an accident, soon reveals signs that something more sinister may be from behind. To resolve the mystery, Turner joins the Naya Vasquez novice Forest Guard (Lily Santiago), and together they plunged into an investigation that exposes secrets from the region – and the protagonist’s own past.

By your side is Lily Santiago (La Brea: The Lost Land), in the role of Naya Vasquez, an incisive and questioning partner. Sam Neill (franchise JURASSIC PARK) gives life to Paul Souter, local boss whose ambiguous posture raises suspicions.
What is the connection between Kyle Turner and Sean Sanderson?
Early in the plot, we found that a lawyer is reopening the case of Sean Sanderson’s disappearance, about six years ago at Yosemite National Park. Kyle Turner, who was already on site, was responsible for the original investigation, but found no clue. The lawyer tries to hold the park responsible for manslaughter, alleging poor conduct of the investigation.
As the episodes advance, it is clear that the case is directly linked to Kyle’s personal tragedy and his ex-wife Jill. Sanderson was the man responsible for the kidnapping and murder of Caleb, son of the couple, also six years ago – the same period of his disappearance.
Kyle killed Sean Sanderson?
No. Although initially suspicious, Kyle is not responsible for Sanderson’s death. The truth revisits when Jill reveals that he hired Shane Maguire-a park guard-to attract Sanderson to Yosemite and kill him. Shane had caught the criminal with Caleb through cameras installed to watch over animals. Jill’s decision to avenge his son’s death resulted at the end of the marriage to Kyle.
Who killed Lucy Cook?
Lucy Cook was a young woman who had disappeared after her mother’s death, an indigenous woman who lived in the park region. She reappeared years later, living clandestinely in Yosemite, like other residents in camp. During the investigation, Kyle and Vasquez discover that Lucy was involved in drug trafficking and had been shot in the leg.
Initially, the suspects are traffickers who operate in abandoned mines in the park. They are arrested after a shooting, but the authorities conclude that their involvement with Lucy was only commercial, related to drug sales – that is, they were not responsible for her death.
Shane Maguire killed Lucy Cook?
Neither. Although Shane is revealed as Sean Sanderson’s killer and his unstable behavior, Lucy’s death is not directly linked to him. What is discovered is that Shane was Lucy’s boyfriend, something revealed through videos found by Kyle. After being confronted by Kyle, Shane tries to kill him, but is killed by Vasquez, who has been time to prevent the crime.
Who is Lucy’s true father?
One of the last pieces of the puzzle is the identity of Lucy’s biological father. A DNA test shows that he was not the one who everyone believed. In investigating Lucy’s past, Kyle discovers that she lived in a negligent foster home, just to ensure the receipt of government funds. A young woman linked to this shelter says that Lucy said her father was a “police officer.”
Calling the points, Kyle concludes that Lucy’s father is Paul Souter, park superintendent and Kyle’s personal friend. Confronted, Paul confirms paternity and explains that he kept the case secret to preserve his marriage. He also states that he no longer had contact with Lucy after putting her in the shelter.
Paul Souter killed Lucy Cook?
According to Paul himself, yes and no. He says Lucy came back years later and began to blackmail him. In one of the discussions, she would have disappeared with his granddaughter. Paul says he went after the young woman and shot to scare her, hitting her leg. Lucy fled, and according to him, decided to throw herself from El Capitan, a cliff in the park, being trapped in the strings of climbers – a scene that had already been shown at the beginning of the series.
I.e, Lucy died from suicidebut after a persecution started by Paul. When Kyle threatens to deliver the case, Paul refuses to be denounced and, seeing that Kyle would not give in, takes his own life with a shot and disappears led by the river current.
How does the story of Kyle Turner finish?
After years dealing with pain for the loss of his son and being kept away from the truth, Kyle finally finds a kind of peace. He says goodbye to Yosemite, gives his horse to Vasquez and also leaves a box with carts that belonged to Caleb. In her last view, Kyle tells her son that “it’s not time yet” to meet again.

Smith (The return, American Primeval) and Elle Smith (The daughter of the king of the swamp) They faced reports on the Investigative Services Branch (ISB), the elite division of the US National Parks Service.
