This story contains spoilers for the first episode of Season 5,Greenledgers Part 2 of Yellowstone.

The second part of the fifth season of "Yellowstone" premiered Sunday night and it didn't take long to find out Kevin Costner's fate on the show.

The episode begins with emergency crews at the mansion of Governor John Dutton (Costner). His daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly), screeches up to the emergency crews at the governor's home, followed by her brother Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes).

The two push through the police tape to see what's going on, only to see a handgun on the bathroom floor and blood. While the camera never show's John's face, you can see his body sprawled on the ground and the distraught look on his children's faces.

“I didn't see it," Costner told SiriusXM's "The Michael Smerconish Program" Monday. "I'm going to be perfectly honest. I didn't know it was actually airing last night. That's a swear-to-God moment. I swear to God. I've been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I'm thinking, ‘Gee, I'm not in that one.’ I'm not in this season."

Costner played Dutton since its 2018 Paramount Network premiere, but announced in June that he was not returning for what were billed as the final episodes.

Beth Dutton will go ‘hurricane’ avenging John Dutton

In an interview with USA TODAY, Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton, said that John Dutton’s most loyal offspring will be devastated by her father's soon-to-be-revealed dark fate.

"There's only so much a woman can take. He's the center of her soul," Reilly said. "What's that going to do to this woman? It's going to turn her into a hurricane."

Reilly said she has known how "Yellowstone" would end since the show started in 2018. Costner's premature departure has not fundamentally changed that course. "It wasn't supposed to happen so soon," she said. "But the fact that we got to return poetically to the show's authentic vision is satisfying."
